Copyright and Fair Use
A healthy copyright system must balance the need to provide strong economic incentives through exclusive rights with the need to protect important public interests like free speech and expression. Fair use is foundational to that balance. It's role is to prevent copyright from stifling the creativity it is supposed to foster, and from imposing other burdens that would inhibit rather than promote the creation and spread of knowledge and learning.
The Fair Use Project (FUP) was founded in 2006 to provide legal support to a range of projects designed to clarify, and extend, the boundaries of fair use in order to enhance creative freedom and protect important public rights. It is the only organization in the country dedicated specifically to providing free and comprehensive legal representation to authors, filmmakers, artists, musicians and other content creators who face unmerited copyright claims, or other improper restrictions on their expressive interests. The FUP has litigated important cases across the country, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, and worked with scores of filmmakers and other content creators to secure the unimpeded release of their work.

Hearsay Culture to Celebrate Show #200

Konomark and Decoupage – Who'd Have Thunk It?
By Eric E. Johnson • November 14, 2013 at 11:30 am
One of the coolest konomark requests I've received so far came from Judi Pennella, who sought permission to use a photo of mine to decoupage a play kitchen cabinet for her 2-year-old granddaughter.
The photo is of a burner on an electric stove (below right). You can see in the picture she sent me (right), how she used it to make a simulated range.
Konomark is my project with CIS to create a simple way for people to signal their willingness to receive requests for re-use of photos or other copyrighted content on a no-fee basis. Read more » about Konomark and Decoupage – Who'd Have Thunk It?

Google's triumph advances transformative use of copyrighted work
Author(s):Julie AhrensPublication Date:November 24, 2013Publication Type:Other WritingOn Nov. 14, a New York federal court judge ruled to uphold Google's ambitious project to scan and digitize millions of books from cooperating libraries into a massive, searchable online database. This was a victory not only for Google but also for the greater public good. Judge Denny Chin dismissed a copyright lawsuit brought by authors, finding that Google's copying and indexing of more than 20 million books to create a new, highly useful search tool is protected by fair use.

Understanding Trademark Strength
Author(s):Tim GreenePublication Date:July 7, 2013Publication Type:Academic WritingTrademark strength, properly understood, refers to the scope of protection afforded a trademark by courts based on that mark's inherent and acquired: (1) tendency to signify to consumers a consistent source of the products to which the mark is affixed; and (2) ability to influence a consumer's purchasing decisions. The stronger the mark, the more uses the mark's owner may exclude from the marketplace through a trademark infringement or dilution action. Read more » about Understanding Trademark Strength
Lang v. Morris
Sarah Morris is a well-known multimedia artist and filmmaker. In 2007, she debuted her "Origami" series, 24 paintings in which she reworked, redesigned, and reshaped origami crease patterns on canvas. Several origami artists sued Morris for copyright infringement, arguing Morris had unduly appropriated their allegedly copyrightable origami crease patterns in developing the "Origami" series. The Fair Use Project teamed up with attorneys Bob Clarida and Donn Zaretsky to defend Morris. We briefed the fair use issues on summary judgment. Read more » about Lang v. Morris

Will Disney Let You See This Movie?
Date published:January 23, 2013Randy Moore's dark drama Escape From Tomorrow premiered this week at the Sundance Film Festival and quickly became one of the most buzzed-about oddities in Park City, Utah. Reviews have been mixed but unquestionably intriguing. There's a chance, though, that the rest of us won't be able to form our own opinions: Escape From Tomorrow was filmed without permission on location at Disney's theme parks in Orlando, Fla., and Anaheim, Calif., and it unabashedly incorporates the familiar logos, characters, and theme-park images in a perverse dramatic narrative.

I remember finding a bestof'd post that did a great job of explaining why Kanye is such an important musical artist.
Found it
If the link doesn't work for you for some reason, here's the text.
Whaamo summed it up decently, but I'm just gonna add some stuff anyways, cause as a hip hop fan I always enjoyed his music, but it took me a while to come around to why Kanye is going to be remembered as one of the greatest artists of this generation. Every time he puts out an album he literally changes the face of hip-hop, and to an extent popular music as a whole.
The College Dropout, his first album, was one of the first to unify the underground and mainstream hip hop sound since the days of De La Soul, or Wu-Tang. It appealed to everyone, pop fans, hipsters, the ghetto, the middle class. At the time of its release, the music dominating the charts was the kind people think of when they talk about how they don't like rap...50 Cent, Eminem right at the time he was getting really bad, and the like. College Dropout helped change a lot of that and brought rappers like Lupe Fiasco and Common into the pop charts. It's poppy yet still personal, along the lines of a mid-period Beatles album. Stuff like that doesn't come around very often. Compare this and this and tell me they're the same thing. Late Registration started bringing in more orchestral sounds, making his music grander and more important-sounding. It's also really good, but as you're about to see, it's more of a transition album for him. Graduation is where we really start to see direct influence on today's music. "Stronger," (you know, the Daft Punk sampling one) really kicked off the trend of mixing hip-hop and electronic which is all over the charts today. David Guetta, that Flo Rida song, all that stuff is directly from Graduation, and I'm of the opinion that a lot of EDM's mainstream popularity today is in part due to that album.
"Now hold up, cranestyles," you might say, "all the stuff you're mentioning is crap. Kanye is indirectly responsible for David Guetta? Fuck that noise. Why is this good?"
Yes. All this stuff I'm mentioning is pretty crap, but Kanye does it really well and the amount of imitators something has often tends to be proportional to how good it is. A lot of shitty bands tried to copy the Beatles, a lot tried to copy Neutral Milk Hotel, and a lot of it was crap but it doesn't make the original any less genius. Kanye's first three albums are seriously solid pieces of hip hop, chronicling the rise of him as a rapper in a very personal way. I guess I neglected that, but seriously, Dropout is about being younger, poor, and struggling, Late Registration is the celebratory album, with darker hints creeping in at points like "Diamonds From Sierra Leone," a song about the bling rappers sport so proudly coming from African oppression and genocide. Graduation gets even more soul-searching.
But strap the fuck in, cause you ain't seen nothin' yet.
808s and Heartbreak is a weird anomaly. It's probably his weakest album, but by far his most influential. Released after the death of his mother and a bad breakup with his longtime girlfriend, it's a stark, minimalistic affair to a degree not usually seen in pop music (noticing a trend here?). The sad R&B rap thing you see today? Rappers talking about their weaknesses, their flaws? All of that, all of that, is straight from 808s. Drake? Post-808s. Kid Cudi? Wouldn't be possible without it. The Weeknd, Frank Ocean, all of that is post-808s music.
And then he released My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Seriously, if you take one thing from this long and completely unnecessary diatribe, go listen to that album all the way through. It's an amazing reflection on celebrity, loneliness, drowning yourself in drugs and women to numb the pain, all that fun stuff. It is, for my money, going to be remembered as the definitive album of the last decade. It's not just good for pop music, it's good music, period. Who else would do a 9-minute long song where 3/4 of it is just piano and vocoder moaning? Or sample aphex twin? On the biggest, most hyped rap album of the year? You don't get innovation and pop success like that unless you're someone truly special.
And i realize this is long as fuck, but here's a short other thing. If he didn't rap, he would still be remembered among hip hop fans as one of the greatest producers of the decade. You ever hear songs with those sped up soul vocals? That's all him and once he started doing that, so did everyone else. Electronic/rap fusion, as stated? All him. Giant orchestral epic raps about fame sucking? Kanye did it first and best. And this is just what he did on his own albums. Before he did that he produced half of The Blueprint, Jay-z's most critically adored album, as well as Beyonce, TI, Ludacris, Alicia Keys, countless others.

After TNA Lockdown 2014, Seiya Sanada is sticking around and working a couple of episodes of Impact Wrestling. The belief is that Dixie Carter and company will be giving him a nice push, as management wants to maintain a good business relationship with the Great Muta and Wrestle-1. They also want to entice other Japanese stars to come tour with them.
It was a rough night for Vickie Guerrero and Tamina Snuka. The two traveling buddies went three hours in the opposite direction that they were supposed to be going, thanks to a mistake with their navigational system. Add in some snow, and the two WWE stars did not make it to their destination until 6am.
It looks like Emma has now emerged as a strong candidate to be the next NXT developmental diva to be called up to the main roster by WWE. She worked the live event tour this week. Emma teamed with Natalya to defeat AJ Lee and Tamina Snuka.
Nikki Bella recently revealed that she lost a tooth during a match on Monday Night Raw. She stated that the incident happened when she took a stiff kick to the face from Tamina Snuka.
The seven girls of Total Divas were able to beat the other WWE divas in a traditional Survivor Series match. Natalya and Nikki Bella were the last two standing in the ring at the end.
Prior to becoming a WWE diva, Tamina Snuka was working as a janitor to support her two kids.
Tamina Snuka posted a picture of herself having dinner with the Usos and Camacho.
Tamina Snuka mocks Big E Langston for joking about punching AJ Lee in the chest on Twitter.
Tamina Snuka posted an old picture of herself with Rock's mom on Twitter and wished her a happy birthday.
In a very short match, Kaitlyn was successfully able to retain the WWE Divas Championship by defeating Tamina Snuka at Elimination Chamber 2013. She was able to hit the spear after Tamina missed the flying splash off the top rope.

Microsoft Invents A 'Play-Once Only' DVD
Zonk (UID: 12082) posted more than 8 years ago | from the they-called-this-divx-didn't-they? dept.
740auckland map writes "Microsoft has developed a cheap, disposable pre-recorded DVD disc that consumers can play only once." From the article: " Buying an ordinary DVD of a new film costs between £15 (E22, $26.40) and £20. Microsoft's new disc will enable the studios to release a "play-once, then throw away" copy for as little as £3, much the same as renting a video or DVD. But unlike a rented DVD, the new disc allows consumers to decide when they watch films and there is no need to return it. The new generation of DVD disc will spearhead a fresh assault by Microsoft on the home-entertainment market." Update: 10/06 03:38 GMT by J : Kinda important to read the followup story.

1337 Edit: So after a few hours (like 3) of checking the engine, I finally saw the bug that led to the key glitch...so I fixed it! Enjoy the now bug-free (at least I think it is) version :D
All songs were taken from the audio portal because the contest rules demand it. PLEASE stop writing reviews complaining why I didn't use Tenacious D songs.
Edit: Oh wow frontpage...wasn't expecting that :D Thanks!
Edit: Thanks alot for 2nd NG! Means alot to me.
Hi everyone this is my entry for the Rock Out Contest. Please read this before you play.
This is your normal rythm game, with a fancy story. You have to hit the corresponding arrow key when it reacehs the top, you all know it. The twist is, the sacred guitar picks have beeen shattered. Only by dancing, you'll be able to recover their parts periodically. It is up to you to bring them back!
I worked really hard on this game...took me nearly 2 weeks, but I worked 4-8 hours a day every day. I hope you like it and find it enjoyable. Also, I put the quality on auto low on the game part because I don't want any complaints that this is lagging, so better safe than sorry :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 24, 2009
It's great!
Especially since there were some video game remarks! The only bad part was that it was just too easy. I did everything in one go. Other than that, excellent work!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 18, 2009
Definitely fun
Did the story in one go, and got the lot!
Loved it.
Rated 2 / 5 stars July 7, 2009
Its hard!
This game is WAY to hard I got to the pick with the angry face saw all the notes and said fuck this shit. The picks do have a diffaculty yes, but the game itself should also have one... I am afriad this game was to challengeing to enjoy....

Wanting a "cute" sheriff deputy to return to her house, an Oregon woman dialed 9-1-1 .
For Lorna Jeanne Dudash efforts, she had succeeded in getting that deputy to return to her home. However instead of a hot date, he returned to arrest her and haul her to jail for misusing 9-1-1.
She now faces a $6,000 fine and up to a year in jail.
The incident happened after a neighbor called the cops on her complaining about the noise from her home.
When the two Washington County sheriff's deputies left her place, she dialed 9-1-1 to get the deputy that she described to the dispatcher as "cutie pie" to return.
When asked by the dispatcher why she wanted the deputy to return, Dudash responded, "honey, I'm just going to be honest with you, okay? I'm 45 years old and I'd just like to meet him again."

Being and EventBeing and Event is the centrepiece of Alain Badiou's oeuvre; it is the work that grounds his reputation as one of France's most original philosophers.� Long-awaited in translation, Being and Event makes available to an English-speaking readership Badiou's groundbreaking work on set theory - the cornerstone of his whole philosophy.� This book makes the scope and aim of Badiou's whole philosophical project clear, enabling full comprehension of Badiou's significance for contemporary philosophy. In Being and Event, Badiou anchors this project by recasting the European philosophical tradition from Plato onwards, via a series of analyses of such key figures as Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hegel, Rousseau, and Lacan. He thus develops the basis for a history of philosophy rivalling those of Heidegger and Deleuze in its depth.This wide-ranging book is organised in a precise and novel manner, reflecting the philosophical rigour of Badiou's thought.� Unlike many contemporary Continental philosophers, Badiou - who is also a novelist and dramatist - writes lucidly and cogently, making his work accessible and engaging.� This English language edition includes a new preface, written especially for this translation. Being and Event is essential reading for Badiou's considerable following and anyone interested in contemporary Continental philosophy. |

How is this even possible? 4 dead hard drives from 2 brands in 15 months. Am I doing something wrong?Solved (self.techsupport)
submitted 1 year ago by disgruntled_soviet
I built myself a desktop in September 2011. When I bought a bundle of parts on Newegg, it came with a 1TB 5400 rpm 3.5" Seagate SATA drive. This drive started showing problems within two months. Not having any spare drives laying around or a second drive in the system, I purchased an additional 500GB 7200 rpm Seagate which I installed to back up my data and install Windows on while the first drive was being replaced. Seagate support sent me a new one, so now as of February 2012 I have two functional Seagates, one 500GB and one 1TB. About 4 or 5 months later, the 500GB drive fails. And at the same time, the 1TB Seagate is showing similar signs of failure as before (SMART data showing many bad sectors, random read errors).
So, faced with the premise of no functioning HDD again while these ones are repaired, and vowing never to buy another Seagate product, I bought a 1TB WD drive that Newegg had on sale. Seagate replaced the drives under warranty and all that.
Then just this week, my WD (which at this point is my boot drive) dies. I came home to find my desktop completely frozen, rebooted to random errors, then after letting it run a while the whole system crashes and I get a boot device missing error on restart.
My system runs 24/7, Windows 7 64 bit, with an Ubuntu VM which does some local file serving stuff that for whatever reason Windows sucks at. I don't even use my desktop every day. I used to game on it a lot, but have barely done that at all in the last 3 months. The system has more than sufficient airflow, idles at 20C.
How the hell do I go through that many hard drives? Has anyone else had this happen? Am I just being an idiot, or am I mistreating them, or can modern drives seriously not handle 24/7 idle use for a year straight?
TL;DR: Have had one WD drive fail, one Seagate fail twice and another Seagate fail once, all within 15 months in the same machine which sees fairly light use.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Ok, here are a few guesses from the internets.
First guess: Power supply is faulty, and is letting large amounts of voltage spike on the power rails. Second guess: Motherboard is doing the crazy voltage thing.
Third guess: You just keep getting bad drives.
[–]disgruntled_soviet[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
It looks more to me like 3, which sucks. No other components are seeing any problems at all, and the BIOS reports all of the voltages within tolerance (at least at boot, idk how to check while running)

[–]SteelDonkeyAssassin 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Is your desktop close to (large) magnets? Had a case where a DJ kept having crashes cause his setup was too close to the speakers? No idea why he'd willing go near one.
Nope. It was reasonably close to a pair of normal home theater tower speakers for about 6 months but it was relocated 2 months ago. The HT speakers are nowhere near the magnet size of DJ speakers though.
[–]tryingforccie 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Are they secured properly? are they vibrating as they run?
As secure as I can get them, they're mounted into trays with rubber washers and the trays slide securely into the chassis within the case
[–]maddman86d 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Two thoughts...one already mentioned, the power supply.
Second thought was the type of drives you're buying for how you're using them. My D-Link DNS-325 NAS killed 4 Western Digital Green 2TB drives in a 6 month span. I've been running WD Black 2TB drives with no problems for 6 months now.
Hmm these are all the "green" series drives, from the respective brands
[–]maddman86d 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Might be worth going for a "performance" or "NAS" rated hard drive next. I notice WD has added a Red drive to their line-up specifically for use in a NAS...no idea how they stack up though. The WD Black drives have made me very happy.
That's kind of what I was thinking of doing. Sucks though, the timing for this is bad I really haven't the money to even ship the drive, let alone upgrade it.
[–]drnick5 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I'd say the likely culprit is either a bad power supply or faulty drive controller on the motherboard. Its tough to nail down due to the length of time it takes for either of these to kill a hard drive....best thing I can say is swap the power supply or buy a Sata controller card to by pass the onboard one, then wait and see if you guessed right.
[–]singdawg 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
How full are the hard-drives when they crash?
Mostly full. Seems as though its bad sectors towards the end of the disk.
I have found that hard drives last longer if you do not fill them even close to completely.
It's partitioned--so while its only like 60% full, the sectors at the end are still being used. But I'm going to have to redo all of the drive arrangements now anyways, I'll try and spread the data out better
[–]HeadacheCentral 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I'd be betting on the power supply - from memory, the HD is the only component which uses +12 volts - the MB uses -12 & +/- 5 volts, but as far as I know doesn't use the +12 - if your power supply has a dud +12 rail, or even if the +12 is occasionally spiking, that could be killing your drives.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about the +/- 12 thing.
Video card uses 12V too, it seems OK. Like I said elsewhere, the BIOS is reporting solid voltage--between 11.6 and 12.1, typically
all it takes is a username and password

Battle for Web services expands
Sun Microsystems last week announced its Open Net Environment, a software strategy that plays up its Java and Internet integration capabilities. While the software contains few new elements, it maneuvers Sun into a more competitive stance versus Microsoft as a developer platform. "This announcement may appear boring but it has real significance," said Frank Gillett, an analyst at Forrester Research. "It marks the beginning of a new battle over Web services."
Sun said its Open Net Environment (ONE) approach allows developers to build "smart services" software code that can recognize a customer visiting a Web site and interact with the customer in ways that match what he or she is trying to do, said Greg Popadopoulos, chief technology officer at Sun.
The growing ONE software set which includes the Solaris operating system, iPlanet application and integration servers, as well as the Market Maker e-commerce applications and Webtop user interface represents an integrated product set for developers, said Scott McNealy, chief executive of Sun. Microsofts .Net initiative, on the other hand, is "not integratable. Its welded shut," McNealy charged. While making the announcement, McNealy wore a baseball cap and sported a ponytail to resemble a software developer, but soon discarded both items. Microsoft contested McNealys statements, saying its new C Sharp language has been submitted to the European standards body, ECMA, from which Sun withdrew the specification for Java.
"The vast majority of the stuff they talked about is old stuff," said Barry Goffe, group manager of .Net enterprise and developer .Net technologies. Both Sun and Microsoft are emphasizing the use of eXtensible Markup Language in their product lines. One of the additions to Suns lineup was support for Small Object Access Protocol, a Microsoft-sponsored standard for XML-based instructions that can connect dissimilar computer systems. SOAP is under review as a standard by the World Wide Web Consortium. Also, Sun now supports Universal Description, Discovery and Integration, sponsored by Ariba, IBM and Microsoft, as a standard for an XML-based registry of online services. Suns ONE announcement came on the heels of Microsoft and Suns settlement of their Java license legal dispute. Microsoft sent its license back to Suns Palo Alto, Calif., headquarters, along with a $20 million settlement payment. And it then told the Java users in the Windows development community how they could migrate their code into Microsofts .Net technologies. Sun officials noted that Javas approach to moving code over the network restricted it from invading a users hard drive and files. Microsofts Goffe said Sun was "playing on peoples fears" stemming from Windows vulnerabilities "four or five years ago." Windows 2000, particularly the Data Center version, is as secure as any Sun offering, he said. But Sun was clearly shifting its appeal to developers to do more with its software set.

It's true that Lexie Grey has an unfair competitive advantage: unlike her half-sister Meredith, Lexie has a flawless photographic memory, which has earned her the nickname "Lexipedia." It was a boon at Harvard, and it continues to be an advantage at Seattle Grace, where she's a surgical intern. Just like Meredith doesn't have Lexie's database of a brain, Lexie doesn't share her sis's dark and twisty temperament. Although, Lexie manages to maintain an eerily sunny disposition, her life is more gray than gay: her relationship with her and Meredith's alcoholic father, Thatcher Grey, remains strained, and her love life has been equally unforgiving. After entering a friends-with-benefits relationship with Alex Karev, Lexie enjoyed a chaotic stop and start romance with Mark Sloan. However, when it finally looked like Mark and Lexie were getting their relationship together, Mark's unexpected pregnancy with Callie sent Lexie running — right into Jackson Avery's arms.

UPDATE 1-BYD 9-month net down 85.5 pct, outlook dim
- Tweet
- Share this
(Add analyst comment, details)
* Jan-Sept net down 86 pct largely on weak auto sales
* Q4 outlook dim as policy change further dents demand
* K-listed shares down 57 pct so far this year
By Fang Yan and Ken Wills
BEIJING, Oct 28 (Reuters) - BYD Co Ltd , a Chinese carmaker backed by U.S. billionaire Warren Buffett, reported an 85.5 percent plunge in earnings for the first nine months as it struggles to revamp its over-stretched dealer network amid a slowing market.
The outlook for the remainder of the year remains dim as Beijing's policy changes may further damp auto demand in a market that has already eased to a 3.6 percent gain in the first three quarters, after years of breakneck expansion.
"The fourth quarter will be tough for all automakers. Many people made their purchases in September to take advantage of the 3,000 yuan subsidy for fuel-saving cars before it was too late," said Yuantai Research analyst Charlene Gu. "It's quite likely China's overall car sales will declined during the period."
Beijing started giving 3,000 yuan to buyers of fuel-saving cars in June 2010, with the number of models qualified for the subsidies topping 300 units as of the end of that year. But regulators raised the bar significantly from October, cutting the number of models qualifying for the handout to just 49.
In a stock exchange filing, BYD projected its full-year earnings to drop 35-65 percent, largely on weak auto sales and falling profit margins.
BYD had been a rising star after an investment of $230 million from Buffet in 2009. Its F3 sedan was China's best-selling car in 2009 and 2010, but it has been unable to build on its initial success.
A lack of competitive new models, coupled with its fast-growing dealerships, has taken a toll on the carmaker, which ended the first half with an 89 percent plunge in earnings.
The steeper-than-expected slow down of the world's largest market this year after Beijing ended tax incentives for small cars also hurt BYD and most other Chinese carmakers, which dominate the lower-end of the market.
Xia Zhibin, head of the company's sales unit, resigned in August citing personal reasons. Analysts said slumping sales were likely to have played a part in the move.
In the first three months, BYD delivered 326,379 vehicles, down 15.5 percent from a year earlier, lagging a 6.4 percent gain of China's car market.

Cheeriup's playhouse designer gets notice from NYT, Martha Stewart
- Mark Reilly
- Managing Editor- Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
A Minneapolis designer is getting some national attention for her backyard playhouses, which are made of woven and twisted branches of willow.
The New York Times' Home & Garden section on Thursday includes a short profile of Kelly English's business, called Cherriup, which she operates out of her Northeast Minneapolis studio. She got her start as a houseweaver by building a six-foot-tall playhouse for her own daughter; friends liked it so much she started taking orders for the structures, which she calls thickets. (Martha Stewart Living's blog profiled her work in March, and she's also got plenty of local attention, such as a piece in May's Mpls.St. Paul Magazine.
It's a seasonal business — she harvests willow saplings in the fall and winter and weaves them in the spring and summer. Thickets start at about $2,000 and take a month to complete.
Mark Reilly manages daily and weekly coverage at the Business Journal newsroom.

Share this news story Erol Alkan and James Holden have also been added to the festival in Victoria Park. Field Day have confirmed a second wave of artists for this summer's festival in Victoria Park, including Carl Craig, who will play a special set of his 69 material. At least among collectors and connoisseurs, the several records Craig produced as 69 are some of the most treasured in his catalog. Released primarily between 1991 and 1995, they showed a raw and often breakbeat driven side of the Detroit producer, most famously on the track "Desire." Barring a few tracks that trickled out in the past few years, no new material has come from the project since the '90s. According to a press release, Craig will perform as 69 four times this year around the world, though no info has come through about the other dates (aside from Movement). Other additions to the lineup include Erol Alkan, Benga, Villagers, Brooklyn duo Creep and a back-to-back set from Kieran Hebden (AKA Four Tet) and James Holden. All these artists join a bill that already features Matthew Dear, Actress, Hype Williams, Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, Pearson Sound and many more.

Performing your own home improvements doesn't have to be overwhelming, but people experienced with remodeling, repairing, and improving their homes know that a few simple tips and tricks can make a huge difference. If you're thinking of embarking on some new home improvements, bear the following tips in mind to make sure everything goes right and nothing goes wrong. So when it comes to windows installations or replacement, door installation or replacements there's literally nobody better than these guys. Siding Maryland contractors are a little picky with who they work with though.
If you have a broken glass window, you can try this temporary solution to prevent bugs from entering. Maryland has plenty of great roofing contractors to choose from. Use a bit of plastic cling wrap over the broken area to close the opening. Secure it with a bit of tape to make a better seal. This is really a temporary solution and should not be used long term.
As you make improvements to your house, consider the neighborhood's character and style. A Victorian-styled home amongst a row of small, cute saltbox cottages stands out, and not in a good way. In Maryland contractors usually specialize in more than one thing, like if they do sidings than they probably also do roofing and so on. Remodeling that goes with your neighborhood will help you sell your home.
Home Improvement Tips Made Easy For The Average Homeowner
When it comes to home improvement, be sure to weigh the cost of purchasing CFL bulbs for your home. While they do save energy because of lower wattage usage, the upfront cost is higher than regular bulbs. Also, they may pose a health hazard to you if ever broken due to the amount of mercury used inside the bulb.
Organize your closet by purchasing some designer paper boxes. You can usually find paper boxes with a nice patterned design at your local store. Use these boxes to organize your seasonal clothing, hide winter accessories, purses you aren't using or shoes you won't need for a while. Using patterned paper boxes makes the layout of your closet appear more organized and provide a hiding spot for things you're not using.
Wallpaper borders are no longer as popular as they once were. However, you can add nice designs to your wall without them. Buy some stencils at your local craft store in a theme that matches your home decor and paint them in a line on your wall where normally the wallpaper border would go. This creates a nice visual effect for your eyes to follow in the room. Finding the siding or roofing contractors MD is the hard part though.
If your home is filled with old-style brown wooden doors, do not try to brighten them up with paint. The effort involved will not be worth it. It could take three or four coats of paint to cover the brown wood. You're better off simply buying a new white door instead.
Keep your furniture safe from drink spills and cup outlines by displaying coasters. Coasters are available in a myriad of designs and you are sure to find one to fit your taste. Some roofers also do home window replacement Maryland and other stuff like doors. The most common places to use coasters would be your living room end table, coffee table, nightstand, and dining room table.
These simple tips should have helped you see some new perspectives on home improvement, which will get you thinking creatively about what will work and won't work in your own home. Learning to think cleverly about how you make improvements will be a valuable skill as you gain experience and tackle more complex home improvement jobs.
