"Hi, does the executive L desk have a place to store a computer tower?" asked by Christie
DMi Antigua Executive L-Shape Desk with Right Return
Excellent desk recommend White Glove delivery
Richard from ALDIE, VA– Verified Buyer
I shopped around for some time before settling on this desk. I am very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend this desk. This desk is very attractive, very solid and is well made with several nice features as outlined in the product description. This desk is very heavy. I would recommend getting the white glove delivery. The two delivery men assembled the desk, oriented it for me (twice) until I was satisfied with the location and removed all packing material.

The desk is just what we were expecting. It is a great quality for a great price. I am beyond pleased with it. I have no complaints.
Great Desk
Dean Funk from Severn, MD– Verified Buyer
I am very pleased with the desk. Fits wonderfully in my home office. The quality of the product is excellent with the drawers being dovetaild and not butt joints. The delivery time was great they unpacked and assembled the desk, placed it right where I wanted it.
Very pleased with my purchase
Sceny from Jeremiah, KY– Verified Buyer
I have my office in my home so I wanted something nice in my office. This is a beautiful desk and the file cabinets I got really set this off. The only complaint is the wood seems to be a little soft, I have made a couple of dents in it already.The delivery service was really good; came in with furniture, arranged it the way I wanted it & they were gone.

akrmar from Dublin, Ohio– Verified Buyer
The desk from a distance is great. However, it arrived with quite a few scratches on the desk top (some could not be repaired). The finish is not very deep and is difficult to maintain. I am disapointed.

My daughter Lainey is six year old, and I love her. She has seen so many times, and now she has finally conquered it.
A new program from, offers kayak and canoe rentals, available beside , from Friday to Monday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., all summer. Lainey and I saw their sign on the , and jumped at the opportunity.
I paid the attendant $15 for an hour on a canoe, signed a release form, and picked out our lifejackets. The attendant helped me carry the canoe down the launch, and Lainey boarded the vessel like a pro, even though it was her first canoe ride. We pushed off and fought the wind, paddling my hardest.
"What do you think, Lainey?" I yelled.
"Great," Lainey said. "I was scared at first but now it's pretty fun!"
Since all the weight was at my end, the canoe wanted to veer in a circle.
"Go straight, Dad!"
"I'm trying!"
Then the wind died, the surface turned to glass and we glided across the water.
"Where should we go?" I asked.
"Let's explore the island!" Lainey pointed. And so we went.
Before long, we hit land, dragged the canoe ashore and looked around. We were alone. The island felt quiet, and so remote.
"A swan feather!" Lainey yelled and picked it up.
"Look, Lainey!" I pointed to a metal sign on a tree that read: "Welcome to Elizabeth Island."
"Cool! Follow me!" Lainey smiled and marched up a steep wooded bank.
We found a flat grassy spot in the middle of the island, which would be great for , if it were allowed. We found a teepee of piled up sticks, and a duck nest, but the best part was the view.
"Look, Dad!" Lainey pointed. "The!"
We hopped back in the canoe and steered toward the highway. Lainey even tried paddling. The water turned shallow and weedy so we turned back towards Spy Pond Park. Soon, the cheers of a nearby echoed across the water. A lady in a bikini floated by on a pool raft. We drifted a while, neared shore and avoided .
"Do we have to go back?" Lainey asked.
"Yes, honey." I sighed.
"Dad," Lainey said, "Can we buy a canoe?"
Everything seems different from the water. There's a peaceful calm to just floating around, and Lainey seems to agree. We'll never look at Spy Pond the same way again.

Four suspected burglars were arrested after a detective tracked them down to a car stolen from outside a house.
Detective Constable Hannah Taylor spotted a Toyota Prius being driven at speed in White Rock, Hastings, at about 4am on Saturday 12 April and suspected that it could have been a car reported stolen the day before.
Police had been called at 8am on Friday (11 April) to a report that a home in Barnfield Close, Hastings, had been broken into and that a silver Toyota on the driveway, a laptop, an iPod and a quantity of cash had been taken.
DC Taylor followed the Toyota towards Hollington in an unmarked car for more than three miles through Hastings and into St Leonards and when it pulled up in Churchwood Drive she arrested the four people inside.
The items stolen from Barnfield Close were all in the boot of the car.
A 16-year-old boy from Hastings, a 16-year-old boy from Hastings, a 17-year-old boy from St Leonards and a 20-year-old man from St Leonards four were arrested on suspicion of burglary.
They were questioned before being released on bail until 17 June while officers carry out further inquiries.
When officers searched a home in St Leonards they seized a quantity of what are believed to be Class A and B drugs.
Sussex Police launched Operation Magpie to tackle burglary across the county.
Detective Inspector Ian Williams said: "Thanks to an excellent piece of work by DC Taylor, four people have been arrested, a stolen car and the missing property has been recovered and a quantity of drugs have been seized.
"Her tenacity and determination to find the vehicle paid off."
Anyone with information about the burglary should call 101 quoting serial 245 of 11/4, email email@example.com or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

DNA modifications measured in blood signal related changes in the brain
Researchers say they have confirmed suspicions that DNA modifications found in the blood of mice exposed to high levels of stress hormone ? and showing signs of anxiety ? are directly related to changes found in their brain tissues. Scientists say this research offers the first evidence that epigenetic changes that alter the way genes function without changing their underlying DNA sequence -- and are detectable in blood -- mirror alterations in brain tissue linked to underlying psychiatric diseases.

When you want to quit art, think about this...I think most of us had it at some point. A moment in which we felt sad about our art. It might have been a full developed artblock, or just a small moment of hopelessness, perhaps questioning our artistic career, asking yourself "Why did I actually start doing this?".Over the years, I've had many moments like that. Most of them triggered by another failed drawing, a total lack of inspiration (while I needed to get creative work done --nothing more annoying than that!), or another harsh critique that was just a bit too much to handle, at that particular moment.I've had many times that I doubted myself. There have been times when I questioned my creativity in general. Times when I was sad about just another harsh critique, or depressed for being turned down by another group or publisher. Times when I got angry and shouted that I wanted to quit art altogether. But eventually, I never quit.The point is... no matter how angry or sad I am, it always takes me a while to calm down and
LeechesHere's an average summary of a private message that I receive on a weekly basis:Hello,I just came by your profile and saw your art, and was very impressed. I think you have a very nice art style. Now I'm working on this project. It's called <project>. It's an awesome story about <subject>. I'm currently writing the script for it, but I'm planning to make a visual novel. I can't tell too much about the story, since I don't want it to be copied, but it's going to be really cool. The point is; I need illustrators. I'm an excellent writer, but I can't do illustration at all. And therefore, I wanted to ask for your help. I need about 60 pages illustrated and colored. Would you work together with me on this one? I don't have any money to spend, as I'm not an established writer yet. But when the visual novel gets published, you can get a percentage of my profit.With kind regards,Person XWell... let me translate this for you.This Person X
Why many artists suck at marketingWell. I can at least say that the average artist's mentality towards marketing never ceases to amaze me.Either the guys here are young and naive --that's what I hope it is, since still being pure hearted in a time like this is good-- or they are willingly unaware of what's happening around them.It all started with a question that came to my mind.Would people be willing to pay a few point in exchange for a feature on a busy page?How I got to the idea?Well, I'm doing contests and giveaways now and then. Things for the community, you'd say. To get some feedback, feature stuff, promoting unknown artists, and that kind of stuff. In order to host those contests and giveaways I often need DeviantArt points. Now, I do get a lot of them by sheer donation. But that always seemed a bit empty to me. So I thought up some kind of idea. To give beginning artists the chance to get featured, and make use of the traffic on my page, in order to get their work viewed by people all over the website. S
Behind the pretty faceI had such a pretty face. Or at least, that was what they told me when I posted my picture. I have to admit that I rarely post my face online. Not so much for privacy's sake (I don't have the illusion of privacy, with the NSA around) but more because I've never liked taking pictures pictures. Back in the time, I was probably one of the few young girls that wasn't fond on making selfies, and therefore often had ID's showing either my back, my drawing equipment, or just a drawn image of me. The reason I posted a picture, was because it was for a good cause. An issue that I wanted to raise awareness for myself. The many people that had already posted their real pictures, encouraged me as well. That internet isn't all about faking who you are, but about the 'real' you as well. No matter who you are. Boy or girl, pretty or ugly.I was laying in my bed already as
Artistic insecurityIt's funny how people seem to think that I'm all that great, just because I make the art I do, and I voice my opinion here in an occasional journal-article. Like any other artist out here, I have my own doubts about my art, and I have a hard time facing them every now and then. I'm not perfect. I'm far from where I want to be. And lately I'm quite uncertain of where I want to go with my art. It's something that is bothering me quite a bit, and blocked my creativity.When I started doing art again, somewhere at the start of 2010, I used to very very insecure about my art. I never joined contests because I'm terribly afraid of failing. Honestly, I would feel bad about myself for weeks if I didn't at least end up in the honorable mentions. I never made tutorials because I was afraid one of DA's members would come up and say to me: "Why are you teaching this shit? You don't know anything about art!". And although I never liked to do fanart, I wouldn't probably have dared to do it either. A
Why equipment doesn't matter all that muchOh god, I wanted that Wacom Intuos tablet so badly.I was 16 years old at that time. I had already seen so much amazing art on the internet for the last few years. Digital art, to be precise. And I wanted to be able to do that as well. I had a computer, I had installed Photoshop. The only thing that I didn't have was money. I was completely broke. Note: it's 2004 we're talking about, here. 10 years ago (yeah, I'm old) when computers still costed a fortune and one almost had to take an extra mortgage in order to be able to pay a tablet. Back then, the average Intuos tablet costed as much as the average computer; a whole damn lot of money.I had already been drawing for years, back then.I occasionally scanned my drawings. But as my scanner was utter crap (all scanners where, back then), my preferred medium was pencil (that never does well with scanners) and I wasn't that good with adjusting colors in Photoshop... most of my drawings ended in utter digital disappointment.
Don't forget to look backMany people say that looking back is a bad thing to do, because it makes you dwell on the past and is getting you nowhere.I beg to differ! Because I think it doesn't hurt to look back on what you already achieved, every once in a while.In contrary; it can be a great motivation.I came to DeviantArt, almost 7 years ago, with close to no expectations.To provide you a bit of a background; As a kid, I used to show my drawings to all the people around me (to the level of sheer annoyance). And in the early years of the internet, I posted my writings and drawings on several Dutch forums, where I got quite the feedback on it. But as social media gradually took over the internet, and the small forums I used to reside on died a slow death, I realized the stage of getting feedback there would soon be over for me.DeviantArt was in that sense the next place to move to. A community that wasn't killed by the influence of social media. But it was a hard place to move to.As a non-nativ
Ramblings about 'internet fame'A lot of stuff has happened lately in life lately, and is has made me think about things, and about my perspective on it. One of those things, is the internet.As some of you know, I'm a huge nerd. While as kid, I didn't had a computer at home, and I hated those damn machines because I wasn't able to work with them at all (so much fail T__T), I soon caught up when I got my first computer at age 14. And while most of my family expected me to end up as a hopeless internet addict, I soon started to learn myself how to program. The rest is history. With my 26th birthday, I also celebrated being a webprogrammer for 10 years already. Oh yeah, I'm getting old for sure.The recent chain of events have caused me to think about the internet and it's role in life, however. When I first started out with art, I was only a little girl. Me, and both of my younger sisters, were all very creative. And we spend almost all of our time drawing at the kitchen table, while discussing about the characters we
AmbitionMy profile page states that I'm not a professional artist. I put it up there, nice and bold, so there would never be a mistake about that.Yet, seeing the messages I receive, I think many people get me wrong on that one. I don't state this whole not-being-a-professional-thing because I think my art sucks and I somehow desperately want people to reinforce me. No, I state this because I'm not a professional in the sense that art isn't my job. I'm not doing art for money, and that's the simple reason why. I never took art commissions and I've never even really tried to do so. Because I do art for the enjoyment alone.Nice statement, you'd say. But you know what the strange thing is? People try to guilt talk me a lot. Tell me that I'm low on ambition, that I would be able to make it if I really wanted, or even that I'm wasting my talent by just making art for my own enjoyment. Because "If you're good at something, you shou
You can't say you can't!As a child I was a bright student, always used to grab among the first 3 positions in my class, teachers used to love me (I was never a teacher's pet though) and my mom and dad (specially dad) supported me with his heart and soul. We always have guidance/influence from others in some way or the other. I was fortunate enough to get them I guess. But there comes a time in your life where you need to move alone and build your own responsibilities, you need to make your own ways, you need make your own decisions and you need to choose the right path.The world is cruel enough to pull you down every time you want to climb up. But you can't stop there. You have to move on. You can't say you can't!I have seen a lot of phases in my life in the last 25 years. In deviantART everyone says they like the way I talk to people, the way I treat them and the way I guide them. May be I shouldn't use the word "everyone", perhaps it should be at least most of them says so.I get a lot of people coming to
How to imroveThese are meant to be tips to help you to improve with your art. I've found these useful and I hope you find them as well.Draw a lotObviously one key to improve is to draw. You cannot expect to become a master at drawing if you don't even draw. Draw everyday, in every place, at any time. Draw a lot different things, animals, humans, objects, plants etc.Sketch pictureIt's sad how many people actually start to draw straight on without thinking about it too much. Sketching is necessary to make things go right. Especially if you strive to improve. So please do a sketch.Learn to see your own weak pointsAnother way to improve is to acknowledge what you're bad at. When you know, that something is hard for you, don't avoid it instead draw it more. Hands are common problem to a lot of people so don't hide them but draw them. Only way to get better
The Commissioner's Guide to Proper Etiquette tips & tricks to ensure that the artist does not hate your guts after you commission them //edit//Take the time to realize this is aimed at commissioners, not artists. Yes, there are a ton of things artists fuck up on, trust me, I know. Oh, I know. However that alone could be a whole 'nother journal- which I might go ahead and do because I've had frustrating experiences with artists. When I'm talking about bad commissioners here though, I'm talking about the worst of the worst. Why on earth do I think a timid question 3 weeks after your commission was accepted asking about how it's going is "badgering"?These are things I've witnessed, I'm talking about the horribly entitled, belittling, superior attitude commissioners! The ones that send you a billion notes and PMs asking when their art will be done, and rudely, when it's only been 3 days! So no, I'm not saying artists should step all over you- because trust me, some will. And by god, they sh
The 10 CommandmentsHello esteemed colleagues! This blog is particularly targeted to those of you who are considering pursuing a career in an art/creative field and those of you who are in art school as well. If you're not doing either of those things, the concepts here are good general advice for anything you're striving for, so definitely hang around and read on!These '10 Commandments' were formulated by curator/artist/designer/entrepreneur/amazinginlyawesomehumanbeing Sergio Gomez. I had the opportunity of going to a lecture of his a few months back and it was very inspiring. So without any further ado, here they are!10. You shall be PATIENT and CONSISTENTOne of the biggest lies you can tell yourself is that you will be an overnight success. Like any skill set, developing your artwork will take time. This is the same when looking for ways to advance your career, it won't fall into your lap. You must be earnest in looking for opportunities to show and sell your work, you
How to get noticed on deviantART!:faq56:I've had many people ask me this question so I'm going to elaborate the best I can. As the FAQ above states, to get far on deviantART you HAVE to give feedback to get it. It's almost virtually impossible for you to get noticed without doing any of that. I learned that after a year of being here. Browse ArtThis is something that you will have to do in your dA lifetime in order to find your inspirations and be able to learn new techniques. When on the front page of deviantART it's probably the most diverse amount of artwork you'll see! Ranging from pixels to sculptures, tattoos to anime to poems, there has to be at least one that can catch your eye! There are millions of deviants here and even more submissions! Try searching for artworks that please you. You can even have a randomized search by using stuff like the random d
~The Secret Santa gift exchange~okay so after some hard decision and opinions of others--.It's time to host this! So I've decided to post this up early and begin to explain what a Secret Santa is to some of you that are new to it.This will probably explain it more then I do.So, with what I want to do is do this even with you guys! my reasons is that I always wanted to host one and well it seemed like a really fun idea!But of course, we have a few rules that we should follow:1: You can't tell the other people that your making the gift for and of who you areit would ruin the whole point to it! it is called a 'Secret' Santa, right? so keep it a secret buut...I can ask the person what you want and I won't say your name. vuv2: If your joining you have to make a giftIt wouldn't be fair if you didn't make a gift and someone else made you something. That isn't right, so please do make a gift for them.3: Be a little creative
The Inevitability of IndividualityI've been working on this for quite a while and I really hope you guys enjoy the result. I was looking through my favourites and it struck me how images with a similar composition can look so different, particularly of people. The phrase "The inevitability of individuality" came to me, and thus this project was born. Now, posting it, it feels like a piece of artwork in itself but sadly all the images belong to other people (click through and fave!). In any case the point of this art piece is to remind us all that no matter what we do we are uniquely ourselves. There's no point, and no need, to try and be someone else. You're perfect as you are.Down the right hand side of this journal is a list of things that make up a personality...

A Note on Daily Deviation FeaturesAt ten features into my tenure as Community Volunteer for Abstract & Surreal Photography I am noticing a certain trend in response to abstract and surreal Daily Deviations. I shall address some of the recurring themes here, and hopefully answer some questions along the way. At this point I would like to mention that I am talking about a small and vocal minority, and I sincerely thank the overwhelming majority for supporting the featured artists and their work. You're what makes this site such a great community.With that said, let's get to the troublesome themes I am coming across.The "This is crap!" ArgumentAs an observer and a critic, you're entitled to think that something isn't very good. However, exclaiming as such on the comments of a piece of work that an artist has spent time and energy creating is not only counter-productive, but rude and insulting, especially if it's not followed up with some advice about how you think they could make their
Symbol(s) for the non Premium DeviantsHello my Ryceballs. So eversince DA's recent symbol changes, I have been hearing a lot of complaints. Mostly about how regular non premium members don't even get a symbol. It makes them feel like they are not important. Its ok I hear ya I hear ya. And you know me, I am all about the people. Ry-Spirit cares. So I thought about this a lot and try to think of an appropriate symbol that best suits our non premium friends, at the end I came up with a symbol... WELL I say a symbol but its more like a string of symbols. I feel like this is the only option for it to work. And I have used myself as an example of what the symbols would look like if I am in fact a regular deviant. Ok please look below.You may need to right click and view the image to see the whole thing. Now what does it mean? I will tell you. It stands for "Sad because no money therefore no premium membership and seems like Im not considered an artist argh *swears*.. Sigh.. oh well.. I have an idea, look I'll continue to
You are worth it!Just one of the many messages I got here on DeviantArt;Hey DamaiMikaz,I don't know if it's okay to send a note, I don't want to bother you. You faved my artwork, and I just wanted to thank you for that. I just saw your profile and I wanted to say: you are an AMAZING artist and great with story lines. Amazing talent. It's an honor to meet someone like you. I do a lot of art myself, but I'm nowhere as good as you are. I honestly don't know why a great artist like you faved my work. I don't think I'm worth the attention, since you're a way better artist than I'll ever be. But thanks a lot.Cheers!Honestly... the amount of comments I get like this nowadays is high.And although I have to admit the whole I-like-your-art-thing is kinda flattering, it somehow still makes me sad.Why all this buzz over a simple fave? It's DeviantArt! A digital collection of art. We are supposed to fave artwork that we like!Why all this insecurity? Since when does the level of art

WSVN -- To many people, their dog is a life changer. To some people, their dog is a life saver.
Claribel Ruiz: "I need that companionship of my dog."
Claribel's dog is named Sky.
Claribel Ruiz: "Because she is like the sky. She means everything to me."
Claribel suffers from anxiety and depression. Sky is a registered therapy dog, helping Claribel like medication or a psychiatrist might help another person.
Claribel Ruiz: "The dog helps me when anxiety kicks in. When I want to run out of the house, when I feel like I can't stay in one place, she calms me down. She stays by my side."
But Skys presence has left the Chancellor Hall Condominium Association yapping.
Claribel Ruiz: "The man, when he saw the small dog, he wanted us to take the little dog out."
The association doesn't allow dogs. So Claribel sent the condo president this prescription that says she requires the companionship of the dog, a letter from her doctor explaining that it's needed for her medical condition and they sent the registration papers for Sky.
The condo president's response:
Claribel Ruiz: "He says 'He doesn't want dogs here. That the law does not allow to have a dog.'"
The association then hired an attorney who sent this list of medical questions about Claribel for her doctor to answer. And the lawyer then asked Claribel to release all her medical records to the association.
Claribel Ruiz: "And if he knows and he likes to gossip the entire building will know about all the problems I have."
Claribel and her doctor would not fill out the paperwork. So she gave up and told the condo president she would get rid of sky. That wasn't enough.
Claribel Ruiz: "His response was 'That will work, but you have to be willing to pay our legal fees.'"
Claribel was stunned. Being asked to get rid of Sky and pay the associations attorney for trying to force her to get rid of Sky. That's when she decided to fight to keep Sky and called Help Me Howard.
Claribel Ruiz: "I appreciate anything Channel 7 can do for me."
Well Howard, this is Claribel, this is Sky. Does the dog have to leave the condo?
Howard Finkelstein: "No they do not. Under the Federal Fair Housing Act, a therapy dog cannot be barred from someone's home, even if animals are not allowed. The problem is that associations have the funds to hire an attorney to frighten the pet owner into giving up their animal."
I spoke to the attorney for the association. Michael Bass told me we do not want to deny Ms. Ruiz the right to her dog but we need to see proof that she has a disability.
Howard Finkelstein: "And they don't have a right to get medical records for a person that has disability."
To fight the condo association, Claribel needed an expert and Matthew Dietz volunteered his time to help her.
Dietz specializes in helping people with disabilities. He says that the Fair Housing Act regulations were supposed to make it easy for someone like Claribel to have her dog. As to why associations ignore the regulations, he says they just don't know any better.
Matthew Dietz: "They don't get training. They don't get training as to what the Fair Housing Act is and they don't get training as to disabilities. They believe that their rules in some way come from a higher source than our federal laws.
Claribel now has some peace of mind because with Matthew Dietz's help, Sky wont be going away.
Claribel Ruiz: "I feel better. Thank you for helping me. The lawyer and Channel 7."
If Condo Association doesn't back down and Matthew has to take them to court and wins, they will have to pay his legal fees. And that can be expensive for an association.
Now if you feel like you are the victim of housing discrimination like Claribel, there is an organization called Hope that helps for free.
And finally, if you are curious, want to see the difference between therapy animal and service animals, it's all on our website at www.wsvn.com under Help me Howard.

This may be a weird statement to make about one of North America's most popular rock bands, but the Black Keys are survivors. The majority of the duo's colleagues from the early 2000s have since called it quits, but the workmanlike Akron boys Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney kept their heads down, dutifully churning out gutshot blues-pop mimicry that carried just enough of a punch to establish them as, at the least, a reliable stadium-act opening band.
Then: worldwide financial turmoil struck, the buying public went from purchasing few records to no records at all, dance music infiltrated pop's consciousness, and guitars were, prophetically, exchanged for turntables (or, in keeping with recent trends, MPCs). Banjo-players and Dave Grohl formed an unlikely alliance to establish "real music" as 2010s mainstream rock culture's slyly conservative ethos and just like that, the Black Keys emerged as the most popular guys making music that sounds like older music without getting all P.T. Barnum about it.
Brothers from 2010 (the first record made at Muscle Shoals in three decades, natch) was the Keys' most consciously bloated effort and, paradoxically, the one that placed them firmly in their current position of The Only Band Your Friend From High School Listens to These Days; writing their catchiest song to date, "Tighten Up", helped, as did soundtracking every goddamn car commercial and buddy-comedy movie trailer that didn't have breakdancing hamsters in it. Cementing their rep as canny opportunists, Carney and Auerbach returned a year later with El Camino, a sleazy, hook-laden album that switched between the basic thematic food groups of cars-and-women and cars-as-women with the horndog exuberance of a kid doing donuts on an ATV in an abandoned dirt lot.
El Camino was the best ZZ Top album that you can't stream on Spotify and, in an impressive feat for a band so 9-to-5 about their creative process that they once recorded an album in an actual factory, it also turned out to be their most distinctive work and arguably their best. The Black Keys' eighth album and first in three years isn't their worst effort—that distinction still belongs to 2006's Magic Potion, their paste-bland major-label debut—but after the relatively fresh approach on El Camino, it's dismaying how much of the inert, mid-tempo Turn Blue resembles elements of their previous albums: Brothers' stoner-friendly drift, Attack & Release's toy-xylophone psychedelia, Magic Potion's indifferent blare. After a decade-plus of pilfering musical history with all the subtlety of a brick through a windshield—for Christ's sake, last time around they basically plagiarized "Last Dance With Mary Jane"—the Black Keys' cultural cannibalism has finally turned inward.
Turn Blue finds the Black Keys getting deep with themselves in several ways; Auerbach recently told Rolling Stone that the band set out to make a singles-bereft "Headphone[s] record," and he's alluded elsewhere that his messy, allegation-laden divorce proceedings—which, in a this-joke-writes-itself touch, once was believed to include a lock of Bob Dylan's hair—lent the album a "melancholy" vibe. Appropriately, Turn Blue sounds distant and subdued, a murky-sounding collection of '70s stoner-rock facsimiles and swirling gray tones that, for the most part, are indistinguishable.
Lyrically, the Black Keys' casual chauvinism has gone from "Girl, you look so good" to "Woman, you done me wrong," the shift in mindset undeniably affected by Auerbach's personal troubles. "Why you always wanna love the ones who hurt you," he sings over the sluggish bounce of "Year in Review", "Then break down when they go and deserve you." Allusions to rain, running, sickness, and the open road are predictably expressed, and Auerbach admits on the title track's disco-ball lilt: "In the dead of the night/ I start to lose control." The couplet speaks volumes, as the mushy gruel of Turn Blue represents the sound of a band going so deep into their own heads that they lose track of where the exit doors are located.
It's tempting once again to blame the dullness on Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, a sometimes-capable producer whose reputation in recent years has carried the weight of an "Out of Order" sign on a bathroom door. Indeed, Burton's reign of boredom continues here in typical fashion; his love for airlock-hatch atmospherics and stiff string-section motifs are intact, and even without the credits confirming it, you could probably guess that the orchestral touches of "Year in Review" were lifted from the score for an Italian 1970s sex comedy.
If Burton remains an easy scapegoat, this time it's harder to make the charges stick. Turn Blue is the second consecutive Black Keys album where he's credited as a contributing songwriter, and as the veritable third Black Key since Attack & Release, his presence has led to some of the band's most successful, purposefully forceful music. The Black Keys are, in fact, the one band this decade that Burton has collaborated with effectively, so the failures of Turn Blue come across mostly as a byproduct of an imbalance of power. While the suffocating weightlessness of the LP's first third is enough to give anyone who's listened to a Broken Bells record more than once a serious case of PTSD, Carney and Auerbach sound as if they're holding back in response, succumbing to bland choruses and muddy aimlessness despite the fact that their catalog dictates they're capable of much more than this. Throughout Turn Blue, it's difficult to tell how invested these guys actually are in the music they're making, an indifferent attitude that encourages the listener to act in tandem.
The Black Keys have never been known for innovation—we're talking about a band that covered the fucking Beatles on their first album—but Turn Blue's strongest moments happen when they explore new territory. At nearly seven minutes, opener "Weight of Love" is a moody epic that carries melodic hints of the pleasantly stretched-out "Bullet in the Brain", meandering to a searing guitar solo that, for those with heavy investment in searing guitar solos, should more than suffice. Lead single "Fever", meanwhile, is Turn Blue's Festival-Headliner Hit, its subtly catchy hook and farty keyboard sounds resembling what might happen if MGMT-circa-2014 tried to write something approaching "Electric Feel" in terms of weirded-out pop accessibility.
Turn Blue's most surprising moment arrives at the end: "Gotta Get Away", whose title alone suggests that the Black Keys are ready to move on from this uncharacteristically dour fog they're trapped in. Coming off as the strongest classic-rock beer-commercial jam since Kid Rock's cliché-tastic "All Summer Long", the cowboy-boots guitar riff and Auerbach's unchained vocal take pair perfectly to create the album's most energizing blast-in-a-glass cut, to the point where it's hard not to dream of an entire album of songs like this. The song sounds like summer; with the right sync, "Gotta Get Away" could make millionaires out of anyone who sells rubber tires and rope.
"For no one/ It's no fun, no fun/ With a one track mind," Auerbach sings on the tune, after name-checking Kalamazoo and wondering where all the "good women" have gone in typical dirtbag fashion; it's hard not to read his lyrical admission as anything but self-prescriptive. On a record where the Black Keys' try way too hard to be "weird," "Gotta Get Away" is the sole moment where they get out of their own heads and back into that beat-up van. You can't fault them for trying to get deep, but this is one band for which shallowness is a virtue.

Alex Martins Says Magic Looking To Move NBA D-League Affiliate To Jacksonville
Published October 9, 2013
TEST DRIVE: In Jacksonville, David Bauerlein notes barring a "final-day surge in ticket sales" for tonight's Pelicans-Magic NBA preseason game at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, the game "will be played before fewer fans than turned out in 2009 for the previous NBA face-off in Jacksonville." Through yesterday "about 5,000 tickets had been sold" in the 13,000-seat arena. Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown said that the game "is the centerpiece for community activities spread over two days." He added, "It's already a success." City of Jacksonville Communications Dir David DeCamp said that ticket sales so far "have been enough to make the game financially viable." Bauerlein notes the budget for the NBA in Jacksonville this time around is "about $335,000, which covers the game and a pre-game Fan Fest." DeCamp said that the city's cost "is limited to $15,000 for the Fan Fest, organized by the Office of Special Events." He added that Jacksonville has "attracted $40,000 in sponsors but did not have a breakdown on the sponsors and their contributions" (JACKSONVILLE.com, 10/9).

Chaz Bono
- Real Name:
- Chastity Bono
- Date of Birth:
- March 4, 1969
- Hometown:
- Los Angeles
- Resides in:
- Los Angeles
Chaz Bono, who was born female but underwent gender reassignment in 2009, grew up in the spotlight of famed musical duo Sonny and Cher, having appeared on their TV variety show as a tot. After they divorced in 1975, he split time between them until moving to New York to attend the High School for Performing Arts and NYU. Bono dropped out of college to focus on his band Ceremony. Many thought he owed the contract with Geffen to his legendary lineage. Ceremony released its only album Hang Out Your Poetry in 1993. Star Magazine published an article in 1990 saying Bono was a lesbian, but it took five more years for him to come out in The Advocate. He started writing for the gay publication regularly, worked for the Human Rights Campaign and then became the media entertainment director for Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) in 1996. He explored his transgender issues and detailed the experience of telling his family in "Family Outing" and followed it up with the 2002 memoir "The End Of Innocence." Bono, who was dependent on painkillers for years, achieved sobriety in 2004, but not before his addiction fueled his weight problems. In 2006, he appeared on "Celebrity Fit Club". It was not his only stint on reality TV. He gave "Dancing With The Stars" a go in 2011 after he'd officially and legally become a man and changed his name. The transformation was captured in two documentaries, "Becoming Chaz" and "Being Chaz". He is currently engaged to Jennifer Elia.

Going to Chicago
Hey all, going to chicago 10/31-11/04 .... Was wondering about some good brew pubs/bars....being my 19 week old so somewhere that sells food with tables so I don't feel like the worst parent of the year :)
We will probably be stay area of ohare - north
3F is a must. I am going to the west coast on Thursdays and going to CCB.
While 3F is a great place, I think the loud death metal music is a little much for a 19 week old. Get there if you can but I'm not sure about the kid. They do have good food though. Two Brothers in Warrenville has decent food and is a bit more family friendly.
Revolution near milwaukee and armitage in chicago is good and if you go there, you will be close Piece and Map room. The Map room is a great beer bar, so while it doesnt fit your food requirement, I recommend it to any beer lover. Hop Leaf in andersonville is also a great restaurant with an amazing beer list, bottle and tap.
Mickey Finns Libertyville
Tighthead in Mundelein. Not far from Mickey Finn's as listed above, but much better beer.
We went to Two Brothers yesterday along with my parents, who live about ten minutes from there. The food and beer were great and the atmosphere was a little more relaxed. I definitely recommend Two Brothers, but it is outside the city a little ways. If you are able to make the trip, I do recommend going there.
Both Revolution and Haymarket are great brewpubs
Around O'hare and hungry for food? Al and Joe's. The Italian sub is king.
19 week old in a pub....?
Babies would also be fine in either Goose Island brewpub. They serve a bunch of beers on tap you can only get in the brewpubs, and operate independently of ABInBev. If you go to the one on Clybourn make sure you go around the corner to Franks n Dawgs

Product Details
Light for flight The Nike Flyknit Trainer+ Unisex Running Shoe (Men's Sizing) was designed based on insights from the world's best marathon runners. Like the Nike Flyknit Racer, it features a virtually seamless knit upper for targeted support, breathability and a snug fit. Available in men's sizes. Reference the Size Chart above to convert a women's size to men's.   Benefits Lightweight, breathable one-piece upper that moves with the foot Flywire threads that wrap the midfoot for better fit and support Nike Zoom technology in the heel and forefoot for responsive cushioning Weight: 8. 4 ounces (men's size 10) Targeted Support The one-piece knit upper of the Nike Flyknit Trainer seamlessly integrates areas of high support, stretch and breathability where you need them most-without overlays, which add weight. For an adaptive fit, lightweight dynamic Flywire wraps the foot and is adjustable through the laces. Origins Nike Flyknit technology was inspired by feedback from runners craving a shoe with the snug (and virtually unnoticed) fit of a sock. Nike embarked on a four-year mission with teams of programmers, engineers and designers to create the technology needed to make the knit upper with static properties for structure and durability. Then the precise placement of support, flexibility and breathability-all in one layer-was refined. The result is a featherweight, form-fitting and virtually seamless upper. Additional Details Waffleskin rubber outsole with a diamond-shaped pattern for lightweight durability and traction Nike+ ready for easy run tracking

Track Time with timebook
Productivity Sauce
Time tracking tools are a dime a dozen these days, so what makes timebook so special? Two things: tiny size and simplicity. This command-line time tracking utility requires hardly any resources at all and it's extremely easy to get to grips with. timebook is written in Python, and it's pretty easy to install. Download the archived version of the utility and unpack it. In the terminal, switch to the resulting directory, and run the python setup.py install command as root.
Using timebook is also pretty straightforward. The utility uses timesheets for grouping timing sessions. For example, you can create a timesheet called "writing" for all your writing activities using the switch command:
t switch writing
If a timesheet by this name doesn't exist, timebook creates it; otherwise it makes the existing timesheet active. The in command lets you then start a new timing session, or activate an existing one, for example:
t in timebook article 1st draft
The command above creates a new timing session called "timebook article 1st draft". This session is considered active until you stop it using the out command:
t out
To view all sessions in the current timesheet, you can use the display command:
t display
This command shows a detailed list of all timing sessions, including date, start and end time as well as total time.
While timebook doesn't include any reporting capabilities, it allows you to export timesheet data to the CSV format so you process them in other applications like OpenOffice.org Calc. To export data from a specific timesheet (e.g., writing), use the format command as follows:
t format writing
Other useful commands include kill (deletes a specified timesheet), list (lists all timesheets), and now (prints the current timesheet).
Obviously, timebook won't replace a full-blown time tracking tool, but it can come in handy when you need to quickly record the time you spend on a particular job or project with minimum fuss and overhead.comments powered by Disqus

Netflix's David Hyman, general counsel, and Christopher Libertelli , head of global government relations, first met with the staff of French president Francois Hollande, as well as with Rogard himself in early December to discuss information about the legal conditions that would affect its potential arrival in France," according to an official at the president's office, cited by Reuteurs. The Netflix execs also visited Germany and further European counytries.
The next visit will come from "operational" execs, per Rogard, who will discuss contracts.
Rogard added that Netflix had initiated conversations with French right-holders and had already acquired series to air in France.

Unfortunately, the other Logitech wheels are simply not up to MOMO level. Though there are whispers at Logitech that a lighter version of the MOMO might be presented at the E3, which is the video game show held in Los Angeles in May. Still, the Formula Force GP is not a bad wheel. It's not at all too expensive, and it looks pretty good, though a closer look shows the finish is a bit tacky. The wheel itself has a comfortable rubber grip, although it's not outstanding. The spot for the thumbs is fine, elsewhere less so. The clamp system with two plastic screws is simple and holds well, but the buttons and shift levers are badly positioned and hard to operate.
Good, on the whole
The pedal set is light and easy to use. Feet don't get tired and the travel is long and firm enough. The brake is stiffer than the gas pedal, and that's not a bad thing. The Immersion 2 force feedback is easy to adjust and has a variable centering system. The effects are fine, fairly powerful and accurate enough. The driver is no problem to install with Windows XP, and there are no glitches.
Precision is good when in use, but not exceptionally so. It is well suited to rally and arcade games, but lacks precision in Formula 1, where it wavers in the center. In the end, this wheel is respectable and attractively priced, but the Microsoft model is more precise and ergonomically designed.

Album covers without the dead band members

|Bruce Lee (via kushandwizdom)
Malcolm in the Middle
So accurate - here's to pragmatism
Deng Xiaoping, a capitalist and a revolutionary
There are a lot of Chairman Mao fanboys, and gals, out there who romanticize about his leadership of the Chinese cultural revolution. Although successful in that capacity, he failed economically- as most cultural revolutionaries do. Chairman Mao is not the main reason why China is an economic powerhouse and that credit goes to comrade Deng Xiaoping a capitalistic revolutionary.
Deng Xiaoping, known as the architect of Modern China, valued economic stability over political rhetoric and ideology. He also understood that capitalism would work without having to incorporate a western style leadership and bringing China into the market economy didn't mean abandoning communism. He was right and China still thrives. His image is kinda tainted over his role during the Tiananmen Square riot but his contributions and bravery to press on with economic reforms should not be forgotten.
In my opinion if you lead a revolution and in the end your people are worse off economically you've failed. What's the point if the majority can't provide for themselves?

Author Will Sign Copies of Her Book about Bob Montana
MEREDITH — Gilford author Carol Lee Anderson, will be signing copies her latest book, The New England Life of Cartoonist Bob Montana: Beyond the Archie Comic Strip, at Hawkins Photography and Framing, 73 Main Street in Meredith, on Monday, October 14, from 1–3:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Published by The History Press, the book chronicles the life of one of America's greatest cartoonists, Bob Montana, who drew the Archiecomic strip for thirty years at his home in Meredith. Montana's daughter, Lynn Montana, lives and works in Meredith and is a designer/framer at Hawkins Photography and Framing.
Anderson got the idea to write the book when she was conducting research for her first book, The History of Gunstock: Skiing in the Belknap Mountains, also published by The History Press and winner of the 2011 Skade Award from the International Skiing History Association.
It was a 1947 Archie comic strip featuring the main characters (Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica) skiing at Gunstock that inspired Anderson to investigate if other local scenery was included in Archie. She discovered that Montana often tucked local people, places and events into the comic strip more times than not.
"What surprised me the most," said Anderson, "wasn't the fact that people don't know that local people and places were drawn into the Archie strip, but the fact that they aren't aware that Bob Montana had been a permanent, year-round resident of Meredith for thirty years. He raised his family there and drew the strip at his home on Meredith Neck."
The book describes the development of the Archie comic, but Anderson feels that what will amaze readers the most is learning how much Montana contributed to Meredith, but to the state and the country as well. Surprisingly, little has been written about his life in the Lakes Region.
Anderson met with the cartoonist's daughter, Lynn Montana, before she began writing the book. "Lynn has been extremely helpful and supportive all the way through this project. Through her recollections of her father and her family life in Meredith, I was able to write a far more in-depth story of her father's life," she explained. Many Montana family images are included in the book, as well as the memories of Bob Montana's friends, which were gathered by the author during interviews.
"Bob Montana was non-stop action, and he was constantly involved in his community; he was continually striving to make the world around him a better place despite the relentless deadlines of turning out a daily comic strip – including the more elaborate Sunday strip," Anderson said.
She said that writing a book about such a talented and generous man has been a life-changing experience and hopes that readers of the book will come away with a new outlook on life. "Bob's life story is truly fascinating, and no matter where he was or how tough things got, he'd always find the humor in a situation – and that's something so many of us struggle to do," she added.
Books will be available for purchase during the signing. Light refreshments will be served.

New Hampshire Artists Re-Imagine Earlier Works for Exhibition at Plymouth State University
PLYMOUTH — The Silver Center of the Arts at Plymouth State University will host an exhibition of prints by more than 20 New Hampshire-based printmakers October 16-December 13.
Artists who have revisited an earlier work and re-imagined a theme that has held for them to this day will present their new works. "The work will be one that engages that theme while rethinking size, color, new composition or process, or some other variable," according to exhibition curator Parker Potter.
A reception will be held Friday, October 18 from 4–6 p.m. at the Silver Center.
A law clerk for the New Hampshire Supreme Court, Potter became known on the New Hampshire printmaking scene as a juror, critic and curator in the 1990s.
He has been chair of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen's gallery committee and has been a member of the League's board of trustees. Each year he organizes a print show at the League's Annual Craftsmen's Fair in Sunapee. He has curated shows for the New Hampshire Art Association, the Sharon Arts Center and Franklin Pierce Law Center, and has organized print acquisitions for the Law Center's art collection.
Potter and his wife, Nancy Jo Chabot, have collected prints, primarily editioned prints by New Hampshire printmakers, for more than 20 years. Their collection runs the gamut from works by students to works by internationally known artists.
The Silver Center, on Main Street in Plymouth, is open Monday–Thursday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m, Friday 8 a.m.–5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, noon–6 p.m. Silver is closed on PSU holidays.
