Which ones are best for work, gaming, and entertainment?
Gregory Quick
October 19, 2012
Has your old computer become a clunker? Time to replace it! Different needs require different types of computers. Here's some advice to help you choose the right one for your needs.
You have finally bitten the bullet and are planning to buy a new computer, and face a few issues. Cost, of course, is almost always foremost, but usage is almost as big an issue, bigger in some cases. People keep questioning why someone would upgrade a computer when they have such powerful processors, massive storage capacity and a huge amount of memory. Then you talk with someone that manipulates images and processes photos and they always seem to want more. However even people that do graphic-intensive tasks often want a secondary system that might have fewer features but has something else they might desire, such as portability or as a low-cost system for a backup at home. Then there are the PC wars pitting Macintosh user versus PC user…and let's not forget the ultra-light road warrior who might be looking at a netbook or a tablet. Overall, it is a huge area and so we will try and touch on a few products representing all groups.
NetbooksNetbooks have a range of pro and con features: On the upside, this class of system is very light, has a long battery life and is as portable a system as a user could want. On the flip side, they do not have the bells and whistles even most entry level notebooks have, and while they are underpowered when compared to some of the massive performance systems available today they have plenty of powerful processing capabilities for mainstream users. Read the Adorama Learning Center's Netbook Buying Guide 2012.
A solid workhorse in the netbook family is the Hewlett-Packard Pavilion Mini 110-450nr. The 3 pound portable device is powered by a 1.6GHz dual core Intel Atom N2600 processor and has a 10.1-inch WSVGA BrightView backlit LED display with 1024 x 600 resolution.It has a maximum of 11 hours of battery life and comes with 1GB of DDR 3 RAM and a 320GB hard drive. It has a miniweb cam with an integrated microphone and comes with Microsoft Office Starter software preinstalled.
TabletsThe tablet space has probably been the fastest growing segment of the computer space in the last year and remains very hot. Read iPad, Android or Windows? Tablet Computer Buying Guide 2012 for an in-depth review . One of the hottest offerings to come out this year has been the Asus Google Nexus 7, a member of the 7-inch line of tablets that is available at Adorama for $250.
The Asus Google Nexus 7 runs the Android operating system and comes with 16GB of storage and 1GB of RAM. Its 7-inch display has a 1280 x 800 resolution and the tablet comes with a front facing 1.2 MP camera. The battery provides 9.5 hours of operating time.
Macintosh Notebook ComputersApple pretty much pioneered the sleek, beautiful looking notebook, and along with style its products also offer very good features and performance that even top graphics professionals will appreciate when the notebooks are used as an everyday workhorse.
A solid offering in Apple's arsenal is the Apple MC975LL/A 15.4 MacBook Pro that features Apple's Retina display with 2880 x 1800 resolution. The computer is powered by an Intel 2.3GHGz quad core i7 processor and has 8GB RAM with a 256GB flash storage drive. Macintosh DesktopsFor users that crave the extra power and storage available in a desktop Apple offers the Apple Mac Pro Quad-Core Desktop that is powered by an Intel Xeon Quad Core 3.2GHz W3565 processor. Capable of supporting six displays with a digital resolution of 2560 x 1600 it is a multitaskers dream.
The computer features 1TB of internal storage along with 6GB of RAM that is expandable to 64GB. It includes an ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics video card with 1GB of GDDR5 memory, two PCI Express 2.0 ports, Mini DisplayPort outputs and one dual-link DVI port.
PC NotebooksNotebook choices abound on the PC side, with offerings as low as some of the netbooks to very pricy models. One of the most popular offerings is the Toshiba Qosmio X875-Q7290 a powerful package that will not break the bank. It features a 17.3-inch display that has 1920 x 1080 resolution.
The Toshiba Qosmio X875-Q7290 features a quad-core Intel i7 processor running at 2.3GHz and comes with 16GB RAM and both a 1TB hard drive and a 750GB drive, capable of storing all but the largest video or image library. Its graphics subsystem has plenty of power with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M/3D Vision card with 3GB of dedicated GDDR5 RAM PC DesktopsPC desktops have turned into bargains in recent years with plenty of power but at a low price. A good example of this is the HP Touchsmart 320-105. The Hewlett-Packard desktop has a 2.1GHz AMD A6-3600 Accelerated Processor and comes with 6GB of RAM that is expandable to 8GB and a 1TB hard drive.
What sets this system apart is its integrated 20-inch touch screen display that has 1600 x 900 resolution and enables either keyboard or touch as input methods. For multisystem users it includes the HP LinkUp software lets you access the content and programs on your notebook from your TouchSmart PC-without file mix-ups or complex synchronization issues.

Has a sink hole ever tried to swallow up a boiler you service? (38 Posts)

Has a sink hole ever tried to swallow up a boiler you service?I piped this in 4-5 years ago. 1.5 mil BTU.
Flood pic is how it was 3 weeks ago when the rain flooded the entire mechanical room. last time someone left a fill open and it was knee high maybe 2 years ago.
Since then it takes in 60-100 gallons daily to keep up with the leaking returns. A price has been given twice. Very sad. I asked where they thought all that water was going several times.....
Now all we do is wait for it to fall in. It has dropped an inch where my pad cracked. Pic under slab is under the boiler all the way to the foundation. Sink hole is about 12" at deepest, at least 4" all the way around under other equipment. All gas, power, water isolated.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

Cracks in floor:See all those cracks in the floor around the new boiler? Water under the floor is seeping up. There's water under the slab. I'll bet during the rainy season, water is squirting up through those cracks from water under the floor.
The first boiler slab should have been dug down and a proper base poured. Your boiler probably isn't all that heavy but when the soil washed away from under the slab, it wouldn't have mattered if you put a 12" thick slab that was 12" out al around the boiler. What has happened, would have still happened.
IMO and experience.

cracksOh, I explained there was WARM water under that slab. No returns under slab in that room. The huge leaks in the returns are about 30-40' away and about 6' above that room but obviously that is where all those hundreds of gallons of water has gone, along with every blow-down and leak. I can see for several feet in all directions under the slab.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

Leaks:Judging by the riveted steel tank in the photo, you must have done a replacement of the boiler. Nice piping.
I'm sure that all the known issues weren't addressed. Like buried returns that could have leaked, or were leaking. It looks like the floor was put on a clay bank and once the leak started, the clay/silt was washed away.
Is there a sump pump in the floor to stop flooding? Rubble stone foundations are notorious leakers. If there is groundwater under the slab for all of the year or part of the year, the flowing water, because you artificially lower the groundwater locally, will suck that clay/silt away and make hollow voids all over the floor. Look in the sump with a flashlight shining directly to the bottom of the sump. If you see little reflective particles in suspension in the water, you are sucking the underside of the slab out. Keep it up and the foundation will start sagging and settling. If it isn't already.
I've seen worse.
Take a 10# top mall and bang it (don't beat it) on the floor and listen for hollow sounds. I'll bet that there are hollow pockets all over.
And not addressing the adding of large volumes of fresh water to the boiler don't do the system any favors.
Just stunning.

I re-piped it for the last guy...I'll see if I can find the original pics that I fixed. No slab to make it level, or anything. Piped in & out. No under slab returns. This water was from that flood, and 60-10 Gallons per day leaking and finding it's way under there. The sewer is along the ceiling of that room, and no sump down there. DHW tank is 120-150 best guess size, and has a pin hole in it's side already. I tried to explain if that sprays tonight or any time soon, they can be up to their arm pits!
The 4" main pictured (90˚ elbow) was 3/4 filled with water because it's so low, it was the low spot in their main. I saved that 90 with the water mark inside.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

Water Stains:That photo with your arm in it?
See the water stains on the wall? There's another one with water stains that come down from the ceiling. It looks like an overlapping line along the floor.
That grey stuff painted on the wall looks like Stay-Dri waterproofing cement paint.
It looks like the walls are concrete blocks that water is running right through. It may be old formed concrete walls, formed with 1 X 8 matched T&G spruce judging by the lines. It is probably an old poor Concrete mix. Heavy on the sand, light on the gravel and Portland Cement. Maybe with a lot of big rocks and chunks of old bricks thrown in as a filler.

PricesAlmost. They have had prices to fix the leaks for months and months. Same for traps.
Now that the boiler may drop through the floor, they want prices to save that. Only the most dire issues get fixed. Sad, really. Could be much quieter and cost less to run and all that.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

gas and powerAs I mentioned in first post, I saw that and killed gas, water, power. No way I would leave that in service.
Nothing will be fired back up until it's leveled, vent checked, and the 2" gas line checked. It is pulling the strut that supports the main & gas line right off the ceiling. It has dropped another inch or so.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

I didnt mean you Tim....I meant when the owners, or whoever doesn't think this is a problem, see the stress on the gas pipe alone...how are they not frightened into immediately fixing it.

Destinations:Regardless of where all the water is coming from, it is going someplace and it is washing the soil away with it. It HAS to. It may appear that MAGIC is afoot, but it isn't. There could be a sewer pipe under the floor and the water under the slab is flowing into it. It could be a storm sewer. With clay floors, it can be impervious but there can be drain holes around and let the water flow down. To have a sinkhole like that, and not have a sump pump defies explanation. Either that, or another building nearby is pumping.
Do they have metered municipal water? Is the meter creeping?
There's more to this story than you and we know.
Buildings in what they call the "Back Bay" in Boston were built way over 100 years ago on piles. How they did this, I don't know. But all the buildings are on wooden piles. The piles were completely submerged and under water. A number of years ago, some buildings started to settle. The groundwater started dropping and exposing the tops of some piles causing them to rot. It is extremely complicated to fix the problem. No one has ever come up with a definitive answer, but one reason makes sense to some. They built a highway underpass and it is below the river and groundwater. They must pump it continuously, 24 hours a day. If they don't, the highway will flood higher than the cars driving through. In my career, I saw one new building drop over 12" from 3 sump pumps so they could have a basement for storage. A few more that had issues with local settling in a corner with sump pumps. Don't underestimate the power of flowing water to wash things away. Look at the Grand Canyon for an example.

Mud jackingDepending on the experience I think I would disconnect associated piping before they mud jack. Seen mud jacking go perfectly, and seen them get more then they wanted. Hopefully they are just filling the void. Or you might be repiping your beautiful work.This post was edited by an admin on March 16, 2014 11:14 AM.

WOWthats a first for me, I would throw a flexible gas line on that thing with a lot of slack, lol... I have a few customers that just badn aid and band aid and band aid, it gets sickening, the money they spend on temporary fixes makes no sense but they still do it vs just fix or replace the issue and be done.... Mostly commercial customers...

Band aidsWait till I get pics of the 6" main with a quarter-sized hole in it, with a tumor of mighty putty all over it!Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

TimWhat is the building used for?
Beautiful piping by the way, It's a shame that you did all that work just to see the boiler get swallowed.
Let me guess, he's getting bids from the guy who did the original install.

Let me guessLet me guess, the "building engineer" kept cranking up the pressure to "fix" the heating problem and blew out the traps. Then the owner nickle and dimed you on the re-pipe, then took nintey days to pay and only wants to take care of the traps in the apartments where people complain? No?
Timco March 16, 2014 @ 5:16 PM

AssessmentVery close!
Traps are ALL original, 1905 era or so. If you pull one it rattles. So, not the fault of their maint guys. But, their guys do crank the pressure up to overcome steam loss out the leaking returns because no working traps. Building sounds like a silverware drawer in a dryer when it starts from cold. I installed a vaporstat a couple months back and when the DHW steamer was low on water and left them with no DHW, they turned the vaporstat up until it ruined it trying to get hot water. (Separate boiler)
Then the nickel & dime & 90 day thing.....
Now it's tenants complaining about banging on pipes with hammers and which traps exactly do we need to change to fix this?????Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

DHWSeparate boilers. Heating boiler pictured. DHW is a leaking and going to rupture 8' tall tank and a 600k btu steamer and a shell & tube HX. Has DHW, no heat.
Their "boiler guy" maint guy left the fill on. It was shooting out the main vent all night. Almost up to my knees. Swapped the GVs on both boilers and the igniters. When I got there I asked him if he filled it last. No. Then I got back with waders and pumps and he had soaking wet pants and went in and closed the fill. That's when they had me put the auto fill on there, but that can't keep up with the leaks and is always on "LOC" these days after filling 3 tries then lock out.Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

best fix?So bids are coming in and the bidders want to use urethane and allow that to expand. Anyone hear of this?
The piece that fell in has dropped another 2-3", and the boiler has dropped about 2" now on that corner.
I assume I will have to re-level this beast because the injected material will just support it where it is?Working on steam and hot-water systems isn't rocket science....it's actually much harder.

Urethane injectionNope. Is this a company that mud jacks professionally or someone's idea to try? Never heard of it but that does not mean it's something new. Maybe it will float. I think it will deteriorate over time in that environment.
If it's still settling they have that problem to solve first!
Injecting what ever is still going to settle unless the source that's causing this is found and fixed.

Yes....I worked with a local company that did urethane injections and saw them raise slabs anywhere from 1/4" to 2" dead nuts on. They can also do deep urethane injection to stabilize unstable soils.
They do highways and airport runways. The foam is amazingly strong.
I use to locate the heating lines so their guys didn't inadvertently "find" them…
They only drill a 5/8" hole through the slab.
MEIt's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort". Borrowed from Heatboy.

Same problem but in reverseSome time ago I saw houses in AK going up and down but never a sink hole. Of course it's all location ,location, location. The rigid gas lines is where things got really funky. I was warned by an inspector of trouble with frost heaving in the area. He mentioned his own house. I came up with the idea if supporting the boiler from above This was one of fifteen minutes of fame things.
We took beams, Threaded rod and supported a platform for the boiler and W.H. from the footing. Of course Tim's boiler must weigh about a ton. But let the ground sink all the way to China:)

Where's the dirt?I keep asking, :Where's the dirt gone"? and what is making it leave. If there's a water leak, the water is going somewhere. And it has to take the dirt somewhere. There aren't little munchkins under the floor eating it. And they have to poop it out somewhere.
Some building, somewhere near by is pumping water. Is there a sewer or water project somewhere nearby where they have to lower the groundwater locally to do the job? The water has to be going somewhere. Someone has done something, somewhere to cause this. Jacking up the boiler with foam is only a Band-Aid on the infection. Unless you have experienced it, and have worked extensively in low lying areas with ground water issues, you may not understand.
Tell me where the building is. I (or you) can look on Google Earth and maybe figure out where a problem can come from. Judging from that old riveted tank in the photo, that was an old boiler that was replaced. Why did this just come up? And not years ago? There's a "High Tide" mark on that support column. Look around carefully and see if there are any other columns or parts of the foundations that have tide marks on them. Look at the bottoms of the steel columns and if the very bottoms are rust flaking, there's water under the floor.
The company that wants to inject the foam, will only resolve that problem. There's another problem that needs to be addressed.
Believe me. I've experienced it.
You can just give me/us the Latitude. Longitude position.
If you have had a lot of rain, it could be rainfall from broken downspouts or broken storm sewers. If it is a clay area (and the gray stuff in the floors and walls looks like it) and they dug out the foundation in the clay and backfilled it with clean sand, the building is sitting in an impervious clay bowl and if the water isn't lead away from the building, it gets washed under the foundation.
Remember this. When water appears, the first person they call is The Plumber. When water comes through a ceiling, the first person they call is the plumber. They don't call the tile person because it was a bad tile job. It only leaks when you take use the shower. 99.9999% of all water leaking intermittingly through a ceiling is from a shower and not a broken water pipe.
I'd say that the same holds true for water appearing seasonably like your problem. You can raise the boiler but what does someone say when it doesn't stop the washing away of the soil?

Reviewing past pposts:I just went over these past posts.
This job and customer is an energy sucker and your uncompensated time will never cover your experience and cost. They are willing to spend a lot of money on a temporary fix, but not solve the problem. Don't sell yourself short.
From the appearance of the boiler that you installed, you are one qualified mechanic and do work to be proud of. It isn't appreciated and you were probably the low bidder, against slugs who would do an install worthy of the "Wall of Shame" on hvac-talk.com. Go somewhere where your skills are appreciated. Working there is like living in an abusive relationship. You don't realize how bad it was until you leave.
Because of pride, it took me a very long time to learn that with some jobs and people, I needed to wish them health, happiness and long distance. And get on with my life.

They will also join in with a singalong at the end of the concert, said Lesley Leighton, interim director of choral studies at the university.
On Dec. 6, the Chamber Singers, La Sierra University Chorale, La Sierra University Orchestra, a brass ensemble and soloists will participate in the 66th annual Candle Light Concert.
A highlight will be "The Gospel According to St. Luke," by Roger Wagner, the famous Los Angeles choral director.

The deadline for filing conflict mineral reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is May 31, 2014, and many companies still have a lot of digging to do before they get from here to there.
The rule requires publicly held companies to disclose their use of conflict minerals that include tantalum, tin, gold or tungsten originating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) or an adjoining country — if the minerals are "necessary to the functionality or production of a product" manufactured by those companies.
Compliance is likely to be onerous, especially for companies that are just getting started now. They must first determine whether they are subject to the rule. If so, they must then examine bills of materials, purchase contracts, safety data sheets (SDS), product specifications, statements of work, etc. — to determine what minerals are included in their products and where they came from. This will be especially burdensome for companies with long and complex supply chains.
The SEC allows companies a grace period of two to four years, during which they may characterize conflict mineral audit results as "undeterminable." Even then, however, companies must submit evidence sufficient to prove they made a "good faith" effort to find the source of its minerals.

Grasses - Crested Wheatgrass
Creste Wheargrass tends to be drought tolerant and greens up earlier than other grasses in the spring. It also tends to hold the soil, which is an important factor in arid areas.
Did You Know?
Winds caused by changes in barometric pressure are what give Wind Cave its name. These winds have been measured at the cave's walk-in entrance at over 70 mph. The winds at the natural entrance of the cave attracted the attention of Native Americans and early settlers.

It's fairly safe to say, Chael Sonnen isn't the most popular person in Brazil at the moment. The outspoken, self proclaimed 'Peoples Champ' has made many Brazilian enemies over the past few years. It all started with him calling out Anderson Silva for the middleweight title back in the summer of 2010.
Sonnen was coming off a unanimous decision win against Nate Marquardt, which put him into the no. 1 contender spot at 185lbs. Sonnen used Twitter to bash Anderson Silva, his teammates and basically every Brazilian. Here are a few tweets Sonnen made:
-Greetings from Sao Paulo! I'm learning the language: breakdancing in the Special Olympics is called capoiera and cocaine is called brunch
-Brazil likes to boast that it's the power seat of MMA, yet it's so-called champions bow to the man behind "Under Siege 2."........ Classy.
-I could write a dissertation on this experience:"The Tragic Interplay of Delusion, Insecurity, and Incompetence: the Nog Brothers' Story".
During a press tour, for his rematch with Silva, in Rio De Janeiro 'The American Gangster' was electrocuted with a shock pen. Sonnen says he doesn't have a problem with being in Brazil to film the The Ultimate Fighter against rival Wanderlei Silva and he isn't worried about the possibility of being attacked. His mother, Claudia, however is very worried.
Speaking to Mano a Mano recently, Sonnen's mother pleaded with the Brazilian people not to let anyone hurt her son.
"I'm worried about his safety during filming there. I know you all are legal, decent people. My sister and her family received an exchange student from Brazil who has lived in her house when Chael was younger and they have shared many hours with each other."
"That said, it only takes one to ruin it...and I pray that you not allow someone to reach Chael in person. He is a great coach and is eager to help the young fighters as much as he can."
Dana White has said that security will be very 'sophisticated' and that Sonnen will not be in any danger while filming the series. The security for Sonnen is currently being prepared, so is the date and schedule of the show. Do you think Chael will be in any danger while in Brazil?

Greenspace committee rejects mitigation plan
Date: November 25, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Members from the Greenspace Policy Committee appear to have rejected the idea of an "eye for an eye" when a business owner wants to cover a plant bed to expand his business.
"We have people coming here to do business, and we want to make them pay," said committee member Diana Hamilton. "That's not fair."
The city's Neighborhood and Development Services Director Tim Litchet created the committee to help clear up confusion and quell frustration over the city's greenspace policy.
That policy has been the subject of heated debate since the new Main Street restaurant, Braza, twice had its application for outdoor-dining space rejected.
It wanted to place pavers on 110 square feet of a sparse plant bed. The city said the restaurant could not create that dining area unless the restaurant created 110 square feet of greenspace elsewhere.
Litchet has since said that the city would pay for the addition of the greenspace in that case, but the debate began over mitigating lost greenspace square-foot-for-square-foot, or "netting."
"To act as if (allowing outdoor dining space) is a gift from the city is backward," said Denise Kowal, a Burns Square property owner. "We should be thanking (these businesses). Outdoor tables draw people. Shrubs don't."
Committee member Andrew Foley said he believes netting is a bad policy, because it assumes that two goals of the city and its residents — attractive streetscaping and lush landscaping — are in conflict with each other.
"I don't think that's true," said Foley.
Carol Reynolds, downtown resident and member of Save Our Sarasota, said the City Commission has dictated that more downtown greenspace needs to be created.
"Everything I've heard from commissioners is that they want to increase greenspace," she said. "The commission sounded in favor of netting."
Reynolds was in the minority on the subject of netting.
Kowal said the space in front of her building used to be barren, but she paid for all the plants and trees that now adorn it.
"What do I get from the city for paying for that myself?" she asked.
Foley said the assumption that businesses owners would leave everything lifeless and barren is misguided.
"All evidence I see is to the contrary," he said. "Business owners put in landscaping to beautify their businesses. But if we create this penalizing system, we're going to discourage that."

FILM REVIEW: 'Captain Phillips'
Date: October 13, 2013
by: Pam Nadon | Film Critic
The new film, "Captain Phillips," is a white-knuckle, nail-biter. That, in itself, is a considerable accomplishment given the fact that the audience is aware of the outcome. But this riveting film goes beyond heart-pounding by examining what leads human beings to commit horrific acts.
In April 2009, the cargo ship Maersk Alabama was attacked by Somali pirates. It was the first hijacking of an American merchant vessel in 200 years. The captain, Richard Phillips (played by Tom Hanks), was held hostage for five days with his captors in a 28-foot lifeboat. The desperation felt on the part of Phillips, as well as the pirates, is excruciating.
A deadly standoff ensues when U.S. Navy warships arrive on site. And when we learn a team of Navy Seals is on its way, it's certain that things are about to get tactical. Waiting for precisely the right moment to take out the pirates while sparing Phillips seems interminable. You almost have to remind yourself to breathe.
Director Paul Greengrass is no stranger to making films about people under extreme pressure, in dire circumstances. In "United 93," the true-life hijacking on 9/11 played out like a documentary. His use of a hand-held camera intensified the up-close and personal feel that the audience experienced. Once again he employs the same method of filming in confined spaces. The fear is overwhelming.
Greengrass also wanted to differentiate between terrorism and desperation in this film. He alludes to piracy being "organized crime ... having its roots, historically, in poverty." His choice of casting the Somali hijackers went to actual Somali immigrants who had never acted before. It was a brilliant move. Their performances seemed anything but.
Audiences always expect the best from Tom Hanks and will not be disappointed with his portrayal of the steadfast and heroic Captain Phillips. Hanks has that fantastic knack for making facial expressions speak louder than words. A sense of dread is ever-present in his eyes as the almost unbearable drama unfolds. This impeccable performance has Oscar written all over it.
Greengrass has once again constructed a film that grabs you by the jugular, rarely letting go. He also has the inarticulate ability to arouse American patriotism through acts of selflessness and camaraderie. And, frankly, we could all use a dose of both these days.

Front page and 2nd place, thanks Newgrounds! W00t!!
Episode 4 now available.
Update 11/30/2006. Minor bugs and some grammatical errors have been fixed.
**Even if it was on Number 1 on the top 50 list for a day, I still appreciate the positive feedback that the episode has gotten.
Thank you guys so much!**
*For the people complaining about this flash being all talk and very little action: The idea of these Four Swords flashes was to focus on the Links arguing amongst one another due to their conflicting personalities in the story. This is why you see the 4 of them bitch all the time.*
Flash #20 Warning: Sprite Movie
This Flash is possibly around 14 minutes long (my longest and heaviest flash ever). Get some popcorn if you can.
After much demand, Episode 3 is here and with a major upgrade! Now with fixed audio and a menu screen.
I'm aware that some of the voice samples that I used don't have the same quality as the others, I hope it won't be much of a problem.
In ths episode, the Links attempt to go through the 1st dungeon, The Eastern Palace. Inside that palace, our heroes will go through some very awkward moments.
I'd like to thank the fans for their support and encouraging me to hurry up with this episode. Sorry I took so long, but my life has been getting rather complicated lately:
attending the university,finding another Job,mom going through surgery to get a tumor removed (thankfully she's fine now) and I'm gonna be an uncle soon.
All of these events left me with very little time to work on flash, but I'm not giving it up altogether. If I get more free time on my hands, I'll work on my next project,whatever it'll be.
I'd also like to thank Kagome for wanting to play Princess Zelda in this flash, Jon Houser for playing Link's Uncle, Mario Simic for Playing Vaati as well as Purple Link and Adam Goode for playing the Postman.
If you'd like to voice act in future episodes,E-mail Me and I'll try to find a part for you.I'd recommend that you find the time available to do your lines. This is the main reason why the FSM episodes frequently get delayed.
---I'm mainly looking for voice actors ages 15 and up.---
on another note, I named Link's Uncle "Alfon" in this flash. Though it's not his official name and was never mentioned in ALTTP, it is actually mentioned in the "Japanese voice acted story" from the "LoZ sound and drama" soundtrack. To download the track ,visit Zeldapower.com
That's all for now. Enjoy, vote fair and have fun!
Periodically interesting
Well, I'm ok with the talking (mostly), but for some reason this movie seemed to be too busy hovering between humor and serious conversation. Either way, to emphasize the difference in personality, I think much more outrageous differences in their character is necessary, besides just Green, Blue and Purple being almost the same guy and Red being just angry all the time. Well the concept is interesting...
Anyway, I'll be waiting for the next one, because they have been improving.
that was cool
that was cool not a big fan of like but o well i cant really think of anything that would make this cooler its basicly perfect so ya
Not enough feeling
This flash, as a whole, really wasn't all that funny. The voice acting was stiff (except for Zelda, Kagome did do a good job), and the jokes seemed mostly forced. The funniest part was the Beavis statue, that was freakin hilarious actually, but it was the funniest part of the flash by far. Work on having a more fluid conversation with your characters and supporting characters. For instance, instead of Red saying "blah blah", and then green responds with "blah blah" and so on, have people interrupt one another, carry multiple conversations and the like. Plus, less stiffness in the voices; they sounded truly staged.
not my kind of humor
i was waiting for something funny to happen the whole time
Could have been better...
Good audio and voice work. Just too much dialog and too long. The Beavis recording for the armos boss was hysterical.

Housing Cooperatives in Sweden: The Effects of Financial Deregulation
AbstractThe article focuses on transaction prices for recent movers in cooperative dwellings during the period 19980-1993. Prices increased by 80% in real terms up to 1990, then fell by 35% between 1990 and 1993. A hedonic analysis is used to analyze the impact of changing macroeconomics and financial deregulation. which took place in 1985, seems to have caused increased loan-to-value ratios on the cooperative housing market. Using 1983 as a point of reference, a Tobit analysis reveals that the average LTV ratio in 1990 was 20% higher that year. After 1990 the LTV ratio fell by 45% due to credit constraints.

Pours an almost opaque super dark brown with a 1 inch puffy dark khaki head that fizzles down to nothing. Random spots of lace drip back into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of lots of malt, dark fruits, alcohol. Taste is of toasty/roasty/sweet malt, candied fruit, cocoa, and an alcohol bite. There is a bit of a soy sauce flavor on the aftertaste. This beer is pretty hearty and thick with a sticky and chewy mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty great beer based on the smell alone and the taste is good but it seems a bit muddled right now. I bet this one will age into something awesome compared to some of the other Jewbelations I have tried.

Bottle courtesy of drabmuh. Served in a snifter.
Pours a dark brown color with a thin off white head and a bit of a collar throughout. The nose h some chocolate and dark fruits with a bit of booze. Flavor is retry smooth with a nice dark fruit presence along with coffee and a touch of roast. Some warming booze is around in the background. Body is medium to full with a bit too much heat. Pretty good, but there's too much heat on the backend to be super enjoyable.

A: The beer is essentially jet black in color—only a few traces of amber are visible near the edge of the glass when it is held up to the light. It poured with a thin, dense tan head that quickly faded away, leaving only a bit of lacing on the surface and a thin ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are light to moderate aromas of dark fruits in the nose—prunes seem to stand out in particular—along with some hints of brown sugar.
T: Similar to the smell, the taste is quite malty and has flavors of dark fruits along with hints of chocolate.
M: It feels full-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation. Not much stickiness is noticeable. Little, if any warming from the alcohol is perceptible.
O: This beer is definitely a slow sipper given its strength but the alcohol is surprisingly well masked from the taste.

Appearance: Pours out a very, very dark brown body with a large-sized, toasted khaki-colored head.
Smell: Layers of sugar, dark syrup, sugar, and more sugar over roasted fruits with a spritz of swelling liquor. Over the years, their anniversary brews have gone from bold and big to now morbid and despondent.
Taste: Sharply sweet Coca-Cola soda syrup and chilled molasses glazed figs, dates, and prunes. Sweet enough that I cringed a bit, and it's well-known I likes'm sweet. Remains notably fruity throughout, maybe even kicking up a notch. Also super sweet throughout. Faint, ineffective flutterings of citrus, spice, and leafy hops trying to shine through the heavy malts and residual sweetness. Some bitterness felt. Some ethanol felt, too. Very sweet, highly fruity finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium carbonation. Some sticky syrupiness here.
Overall: I thought last year's Fourteen needed some time to settle and smooth out, and I most certainly feel the same for Fifteen (plus a tall glass of water to help wash it down). It's all quite decent (for a 15% brew), but I'm really beginning to long for the big, bold, but more well-rounded anniversary brews of past years.

A - Poured out an opaque, dark, dark brown color with a one-finger brown head of light foam. It left very minimal lacing.
S - It smelled of chocolate, burnt molasses and boozy notes.
T - It tasted of chocolate, toffee and caramel. Subtle booziness - for 15% its hidden pretty well. Just enough bitterness for some balance.
M - It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A full bodied ale with a warm alcohol presence and dry finish.
O - This is good. Not as boozy as you'd expect for 15% ABV.

22oz bottle. Well, Hanukkah starts today, or so says my multicultural, realtor-sponsored calendar, and this Golem of a beer just seems like a spiffy accompaniment, poured into my Jewbelation glass from last year's vertical gift pack.
This beer appears a solid brown abyss, until you check the edges, and find some relatively bright cola-hued inroads. It gives up two fingers of foamy, frothy mocha head, which settles at a leisurely pace, eventually exposing a sloppy paint job coating of shoreline lace around the glass.
It smells of warm brown sugar, molasses, caramel/toffee, mild oily leather, some chocolaty cereal grain, and citrusy, leafy hops. Any booze is not surprisingly sly - I've seen this trick before, in this very offering's predecessors.
Jumping into this headfirst, the initial gulp explodes my mind, and blurs any attempt at dissection. Upon picking up the pieces, and going back in for a more tempered, and now somewhat acclimatized sup, I get some big, big (big) dark chocolate, earthy molasses, sauced black fruit, taffy, mildly toasted grain, subtle citrus cream, and bitter leafy, almost herbal, hops, which weirdly, and admirably, suppress a weakly rising alcohol warming.
Somewhere in there, I suppose there's a nod to some seriously oppressed bubbles, but that's really just a minor concern to the here and now. The body is one big ball of smooth, heavy, unctuous, and syrupy, well, potential, one that steadies the pace to thankful degree. It feels like something has got to give (up or out), and the finish kind of disappoints in that matter, as it more or less just hums with further anticipation - sweet and malty, you bet your ass - but also more assertively hoppy and simmeringly warm than anything up to this point in the game.
They've sure and well done it again, another proverbial notch in He'brew's belt. An insane numbers-based beer that would easily moisten the average accountant's pants, with the less than common bonus caveat of stellar big boy beer goodness. It kind of seems like a disservice to describe this beast as drinkable, if not quite totally balanced, but lo and behold, it just seems that way. And crazily so, eight nights' worth, even!

I had this with Jason back in December, and then picked up a bottle on my own at Binny's. Served in a FFF/Intelligentsia snifter.
A - Quick-dissolving white foam settles to a very thin ring and not much else. Dark brown body with some ruby highlights. Pretty consistent with what you'd expect for the style and alcohol content.
S - A massive amount of malt presence. Big cherry and candied fruit flavors, cola, grapes, molasses, dark fruits, a touch of leather, burnt sugars, and perhaps a touch of cough syrup and alcohol.
T - The taste is pretty much on point with the aroma. There's less leather and burnt flavors and the hops finally make an appearance lending some bitterness to the finish. Tons of dark fruits, candied cherries, and other sweet things. Gets a tad rough when it reaches room temperature, but you should be sharing this with friends!
M - Low carbonation, sticky texture, medium-full body, and mild alcohol warmth.
D - I liked this one more than Fourteen but less than Thirteen. Still, the alcohol per dollar ratio can't be beat, and these He'Brew offerings continue to pleasantly surprise me. Far more drinkable than other beers with the same ABV for some reason.

Poured from a bomber into a Jewbelation glass. This is something that happens in my house.
Beer is dark brown and visibly thick as it leaves a coating and legs on the walls of the glass, big tan / brown head, small bubbles, some lacing, low carbonation, decent retention.
Aroma is sweet and boozy, mild roast.
Beer is very thick, very sweet, a little dry and bitter on the end from a grainy roastiness. An interesting beer but it is a lot to take in. This bomber put me to bed last night, this is an unlikely repeat.

A big beer, but being the first night of Channukah, I had to do it. The last few were awesome, although 14 was getting a little much, and 16 was way too much almost a mess. Hopefully this one does it nicely again like 13 did.
Pours a darker colored creamy slightly thick 1/2 finger head that fades fairly quickly though, at least there is a decent head for a 15% beer so I can't complain about the retention, very dark beer with hints of ruby molasses light sneaking through the edges.
Nose has another hodge podge of aromas, good and a bit meh. First is the malts, big sweet malts, candy malts with a little syrupy aroma, caramelized brown sugars, molasses, toffee, etc, and some candy sugar as well. Some dark fruits in there, mild candied raisins and touch of fig/date like, and eventually turns into very light cocoa and vanilla. It does have a mild paper like aroma, possibly oxidation onset but this was aged well in my cellar with tape around the cap... but a mild earthy like aroma almost root like from malts and possibly hops, which also bring an earthy hop tone, hint herbal too. Then booze, plenty of phenols and some not in a good way, and some esters, and heavy booze aroma.
Taste starts rich and thick, quite syrupy and turns a little bleh in overall flavor. Malts start with lots of dark malts, molasses, caramel, candied brown sugar, candy syrup and lots of syrupy flavors and feel, also a little cocoa and more of that earthy root like almost raw molasses kinda flavor that isn't the best. There are some hops too, again the earthy kind, with a little herbal note, and almost like old hops. Again dark fruits too, candied dates, raisin juice, a little prune juice too, and into a little earthy vegetal like cooked vegetable. Booze is not as warming as I thought it would be, but brings plenty of phenols, some good and some bad, with mild paper-flavored esters. A lot of over aged flavors, like too many overall malts, cooked too much, hops too hold, something... not quite sure how to label it. A mild spicy hop character towards the end adds another not so balanced character that gets a little meh. Finish is long, sticks to the mouth syrupy like, bit more cooked vegetable character, lots of old malts and syrupy dark malts, candy, little earthy hop too, all lingering for a while and mild booze.
Mouth is very big bodied, quite syrupy, pretty thick, nice carbonation, some warming booze and little tingle.
Overall.... hard to really get this... again just goes too much, too heavy in some areas, doesn't blend well, doesn't sit well, too syrupy, there is some cooked vegetable and paper like esters, phenols are good and bad. Just a mess, again after Bar-Mitzvhah #13, they seem to be going downhill as it just gets too much of everything and doesn't seem to meld well. But with all that said, I am nitpicking a pretty decent heavy strong ale beer, with some nice tasty characters in there too, just too much.

The beer pours a brownish color with a tan head. The aroma is exactly like most of other beers in this series. I get a ton of booze as well as a big dose of molasses. The flavor is similar. There is a ton of brown sugar/molasses, as well as some chocolate and caramel malt. The alcohol is also very noticeable. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. While I do like this beer, I really wonder how much longer Schmaltz can keep going with this series because all of the beers are beginning to be very similar - huge, boozy brown ales.

Dark brown in the Stella chalice. Looks, and tastes, like melted brown sugar. Toasted marshmallows on top. Viscous and syrupy. The aroma of hot caramel is nice.
This is more of an after dinner liqueur. Really, it's better than Benedictine and that kind of stuff. Every shade of roasted malt and burnt barley seems to make an appearance, like some kind of variety show. Bitter hops create a little disturbance, and the sweet and bitter flavor is not so great. But the show goes on with molasses and some sharp fruity notes. Thoroughly interesting and nuclear powered.
You either like this kind of stuff or you don't. Shmaltz excels at the ridiculous malt bomb kind of beer, and this one sets a new high, or low.

22 oz. bomber,
A: Pours mahogany with a small off-white head, fair retention, light lace.
S: Lots of brown sugar, dates, molasses.
T: Sweet malt dominates. Dark fruit, caramelized brown sugar. Sweet and to the point. Not really boozy.
M: Full-bodied, never really cloying for how sweet it is. Soft carbonation. Elegant finish.
O: Great QPR, something this big for only $8 a bomber. I miss it at $5, but what are you going to do. This could age forever, so much sugar and ethanol.

A: Poured a very dark brown with good carbonation leaving a dirty white cap and some bubbles

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on late 2011. Pours pours nearly opaque dark brown color with a 1-2 finger dense khaki head with good retention that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of big molasses, toffee, toast, caramel, dark bread, brown sugar, raisin, cherry, prune, fig, chocolate, cocoa, tobacco, leather, light smoke, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roasted/bready malt and fruity yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of huge molasses, toffee, toast, caramel, dark bread, brown sugar, raisin, cherry, prune, fig, chocolate, cocoa, tobacco, leather, light smoke, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Slight herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of molasses, toffee, toast, dark bread, brown sugar, raisin, cherry, prune, fig, chocolate, cocoa, tobacco, leather, herbal, and toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity and balance of dark/roasted/bready malt and fruit yeast ester flavors; with a great malt/fruitiness balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and very full bodied; with a very smooth, creamy, moderately slick, and lightly syrupy/chalky mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is extremely well hidden with only a light warming present after the finish. Overall this is an incredible strong ale! All around outstanding complexity and balance of dark/roasted/bready malt and fruity yeast ester flavors; and extremely smooth to sip on for the huge ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

That headline is not just the title of one of my favorite "Queen" songs, it's also good advice in a storm like this, so stay indoors and resist the temptation to go out and survey the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Our first responders are going to be busy enough with all the reporters and broadcasters standing too close to various waterfronts.

The other issue is why are we paying for it? But the unwashed masses don't understand or care about that either.
"Catholicism teaches that it is a sin to use, provide, or otherwise support contraception."
These words are not from the Catholic Catechism or a sermon by a Catholic bishop. They are excerpted from the preliminary injunction U.S. District Judge Robert H. Cleland issued last month temporarily stopping the Obama administration from forcing a family-owned outdoor-power-equipment company to comply with an Obamacare regulation that requires virtually all health care plans to provide women (but not men) with co-pay-free coverage for sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs.
The judge stated the Catholic teaching on contraception as an undisputed fact of the...
