Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I always had a fascination for the city of Venice.
When I think about Venice, I think about Gothic architecture, masquerades and masks, elaborate palazzos and grand palaces, romance and tragedy.
And I am sure you would have your own impression of Venice too – it's after all one of the most iconic tourist spots in the world.
In October last year I finally had a chance to visit… I really really…
Beyond Rome (Pisa, Florence and Verona)
We headed out of Rome the next day to our next destination – Florence.
Here's the Italian countryside.

Included in the tour was a day trip to Pisa, home of the legendary Leaning Tower.
We took these cute little trains to the Leaning Tower.
Here's the main Cathedral – Piazza dei Miracoli

I don't get it
We both know "Bravery" is the best!
Haha, of course. Either I haven't heard it or I don't remember the song.

Song sucks
I remember that escapade
Now that picture I do not remember
How about this one?
I believe that's my last bloc-related screen cap.
This one I remember.
And now I've had all the fame that I can handle.
How could I forget the first!?

1.1 Background of the
Historically, major petroleum marketing companies were the main sources
of petroleum products supply. The companies transported and distributed the
products relying on their distribution and retail outlets. This was an era of
deregulation in which Nigerian paid market-determined prices for products.
However, this arrangement was not sustainable given that it was dependent on
the profit and market imperatives of the oil marketers. The countrys economic activities expanded in
the seventies such that private companies could no longer cope with increase
demand for products. This resulted in erratic supply of petrol and kerosene and
ultimately acute scarcity of the product. The shortage was endemic and created
social and economic dislocation in the country. This market failure made
government to venture into petroleum products marketing and distribution.
The concern by government to overcome this lack of policy and total
dependency on oil companies led to policy shift towards regulations. Government
therefore introduced uniform pricing to satisfy domestic demand, strengthen
self-reliance and avoid a situation in which the oil companies could hold the
country to ransom. The nation witnessed adequate supply of petroleum products
up till 2000. Thereafter, due to the sustained devaluation of the Naira on account
of the implementation of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) coupled with
the non-maintenance of the refineries, domestic production was soon undermined
making it imperative for demand to be met through imports.
The shortages of petroleum products escalated in spite of increases in
prices of products since 1999. The Olusegun Obasanjo administration on coming on board decided to
gradually withdraw the subsidy on petroleum products to allow the mechanics of
market forces to take its full course. This again, resulted to frequency
increase in petroleum products prices.
1.2 Statement of the
Petroleum products supplies
have always been problematic for successive Governments in Nigeria. With the
new democratic dispensation, the supply and distribution of petroleum products
improved but this was without a frequent price increase in petroleum products.
With few months to the end of the Obasanjos regime, the ugly incidence of
petroleum scarcity surfaced again and one begins to wonder if there is any
solution to this problem.
The contemporary passion and tension that
usually characterize petroleum discourse is due to unquantifiable deprivations
and sufferings it causes in Nigerians. As the 6th largest producer of
petroleum, it is a contradiction that in the past decade, supply of all
products has been changeable and on sharp decline. Ironically, as supply
declined, products prices have been on the increase as successive governments
searched for appropriate pricing. The combined impact of unreliable and
inadequate supply and unending price increases have brought untold hardship to
the citizenry and worse too, prevented economic recovery as promised by the
present democratically elected government given that capacity utilization in
the manufacturing sector nose-dives due to shortages of industrial products.
Indeed many industries have been compelled to close due to non-availability of
some of these products.
In the bid to solve the problem in many
developing countries, structural reform of petroleum markets has become a
critical component of macroeconomic liberalization policies. The role of the
government in the petroleum sector is being redefined, and markets are being
deregulated (i.e state interventions such as special treatments of state-owned
oil companies, price controls and monopolies are being broken up).
Increasingly, the private sector is participating in more competitive
environment. But unexpectedly, the outcome of the deregulation has not been
encouraging. There has been continuous increase in petroleum prices with
persistent scarcity of petroleum products. It was expected that deregulation
would give room for competition which would transform to price reduction and
excellent supply and distribution network. This study is devoted on the
evaluation of the deregulation exercise; critically appraising its impact on
petroleum pricing, consumption and the general living standard of the people.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
The aim of this study is to appraise partial deregulation exercise that
was carried out in the Nigerian downstream oil sector.
The specific objectives of this study are as follows:
To evaluate the pattern of petroleum
products pricing in Nigeria;
To examine the consumption pattern of
petroleum products before and after the partial deregulation;
To examine the impact of the deregulation of
downstream oil sector on petroleum products pricing in Nigeria;
To investigate the likely effect of the
deregulation of the downstream oil sector on the living standard of the people.
1.4 Research
The study would examine the following questions:
What is the pattern of petroleum products
pricing in Nigeria over the years?
How has the deregulation exercise impacted
on the consumption pattern of petroleum products in Nigeria?
To what extent does the deregulation effort
of the downstream oil sector impacted on petroleum products pricing in Nigeria?
Do you think that partial deregulation of
the downstream oil sector in Nigeria will yield deserve economic recovery?
1.5 Formulation of Hypotheses
The following hypotheses were formulated
based on the objective of the study:
Hi= alternative hypothesis
Ho= null hypothesis
Hypothesis One
Hi: The deregulation exercise
has impacted on the consumption pattern of petroleum products in Nigeria.
Ho: The deregulation exercise has not
impacted on the consumption pattern of
petroleum products in Nigeria.
Hypothesis Two
Hi: The deregulation of the
downstream oil sector has largely impacted on petroleum products pricing in
Ho: The deregulation of the downstream oil sector
has not impacted on
petroleum products
pricing in Nigeria.
Hypothesis Three
Hi: That the regulated
downstream sector differs significantly from the
deregulated era.
Ho: That the regulated downstream sector does not
differ significantly
from the deregulated
Hypothesis Four
Hi: That the partial deregulation of the
downstream oil sector in Nigeria has yield deserve economic recovery of
the country.
Ho: That the partial deregulation of the
downstream oil sector in Nigeria has
not yield deserve economic recovery of the country.
Hypothesis Five
Hi: Partial deregulation of the
downstream oil sector in Nigeria will yield
more deserve economic recovery.
HO: partial deregulation of the
downstream oil sector in Nigeria will yield
less deserve economic recovery.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study shall be found useful by all citizens of the
country as well as policy makers and individuals affected by the scourge of deregulation. It shall also be found
valuable by ideologists and Governmental agencies as well as NGOs saddled with
the responsibility of national citizens orientations, ethnic nationalities,
and scholars with interest in similar areas of study will equally find this
report very useful. The study will also serve as a point of reference to
students in higher institutions and as a point of reference for further
1.7 Scope of the Study
This study shall analyze the Deregulation of the
Downstream Oil Sector in Nigeria as a solution to Economic Recovery of the
Country. The study will
foster citizens consciously or unconsciously betray patriotism by beating
undeserving drums of support for public office holders in a bid to defend their
territory, whether the supported person/action is worth condemning or not.

Q) Are these things real?!
A) No. The SCP Foundation is a purely fictional organization.
Q) What is The SCP Foundation?
A) Information about The SCP Foundation can be found here.
Q) Did you write these?
A) No, none of these are my original work. All of them are written by the people at the original site. I claim no credit for any of their work.
Q) Are all of these games like SCP-087?
A) No. SCP-087 is an article on the site which can be found here. It was only recently adapted into a computer game which contains several changes from the source material.
Q) Are you a member of The SCP Foundation?
A) I am a member of The SCP Foundation, but I have not yet written any articles or made any direct contributions to this site.
Q) Is this tumblr endorsed by The SCP Foundation?
A) The current opinion of the senior staff regarding this tumblr is "meh." Interpret that however you want.
Q) How can I join the site?
A) You can apply through this page. But be aware. You absolutely must read all of the required reading. Otherwise it is completely impossible to get in. This cannot be stressed enough. The required reading is the Guide to Newbies, How to Write an SCP, the Site Rules, the Chat Guide, the FAQ, and The Big List of Overdone SCP Cliches.
Q) What does SCP stand for?
A) Depending on whom you ask, it either stands for the the Foundation's motto of "Secure. Contain. Protect." or it stands for Special Containment Procedures. What is agreed on is that SPC stands for Shark Punching Center.
Q) Is this a roleplaying blog?
A) While I may have done some a while ago, I have decided to cease all roleplaying on this blog, primarily because The SCP Foundation is based upon large amounts of internal review and criticism to ensure high quality fiction, and that level of peer review is not possible on this blog.
Q) Can I submit an SCP for future posting?
A) You can submit an existing SCP article or tale here, but I ask that you review the previous posts on this blog to ensure that I haven't posted it yet.
Q) My question hasn't been answered yet. Why not?
A) This could be for multiple reasons. The most likely being that I just haven't gotten around to it yet. This isn't an ask blog, so I answer questions when I feel like it. Additionally, as previously stated, this is not a roleplaying blog, and I will not respond to questions which assume it is one. However, don't let any of this from discouraging you. If the question is interesting enough, I am willing to put a good bit of work into answering it, as can be seen here.
Q) My submission hasn't been posted yet. What gives?
A) Well, there are several possibilities. I may have already posted it, it may be in the queue, in which case you should just wait a few more days, or I may have rejected it for whatever reason.
Q) What causes a submission to be rejected?
A) Here are some reasons I may have rejected your submission:
- It was not related to the SCP Foundation.
- I've already posted it.
- It was too poorly formatted.
- I just don't like it.

I just love this school, I attended this school in First Grade. All of the staff there were helpful and kind. I had a good experience at this school and I hope your child will to.
We love this school. My son has adhd and from day one both the teachers and the principal have been very helpful. In most cases they have gone over and above the call of duty. They have been very supportive and make sure that he gets whatever help is needed. Thank you Ponderosa School.
My whole family loves this school and its faculty. My son has adhd and the teachers, staff and principal have been nothing but helpful. He also has some special needs and he goes to a seperate class just for that. Everyone has been very supportive and very concerned about my childs education. They score A+ with me.
We had a horrible experience here. My child has adhd and had been through several life-changes but had previously succeeded in 2 full years of regular school. On the first day the teacher told me my child was clueless and stated adhd was no excuse because he was on medicine. The focus was on punishment rather than recognition of any good behavior. I tried to meet with the teacher for a team approach but was told by the administrator that some teachers were not comfortable with this. Eventually my child was denied recess and lunch with the kids (spent this time at a table in the hall where every kid in the the school walked by - talk about ostracism!). We're now in a school where they work with my childs inattention, and I've seen others much worse by far.
I would like to recommend Ponderosa School to anyone who is moving to Billings. The faculty that makes up that school is absolutely wonderful! They work very hard to maintain a positive learning environment for all the children. They appreciate and encourage a high level of parental involvement. I had a 5th grader and a Kindergartner in Ponderosa, I know both girls will miss attending this school.

more"Landscape Development and Climate Change in Southwest Bulgaria" aims to address some of the current limitations in our understanding of past Balkan climate and environment. High mountains and their ecosystems offer an outstanding opportunity for studies on the impact of climate change. The Balkan Mountains in Southeast Europe, situated at the transition between temperate and Mediterranean climate, are considered as very sensitive to historical and current global changes. The geoarchives lake sediment, peat and soil, long living trees and glaciers have been used to reconstruct the climatically-driven change of forest and treeline during the Holocene and the younger past. These processes are interrelated with complex ecological changes, as for example the seasonality of climate parameters. The landscape research approach with the analyses through multi-palaeo-geoecological proxies is new for the Balkans. less

Annyeong yeoreobon, Greetings from DownUnder,
I'ts think of me THURSDAY, are you thinking of ME!!!
13 days to go.
@meahri66 -annyeong chingu, you are right it is IU's voice on the last part of the teaser, but it's difficult to tell if she is singing the first part, off the cuff I would venture to say it is another singer, therefor two singers, possibly.
I can certainly attest to the lack of appreciation shown by the YTBLSS Production Team for the talents of JJS/IU as with each episode their on screen time was reduced considerably. What a lost opportunity for them a fact I am sure they will be painfully aware of now that both JJS/IU have been showered with accolades and awards and are well recognised for said talents.
The PM team appear to be of another standard altogether...... a much higher one...........thank goodness. Ps I can't wait to see uri IU in this role it looks like a lot of fun and hilarity...........a great way to bring some Christmas cheer.

Jang Keun-suk and Han Chae-young will play a beautiful man Dokgo
Ma-te and a beautiful woman Hong Yu-ra, respectively, in KBS2's new
drama series 'Beautiful Man (written by Yu Yeong-a, directed by Lee
Jae-sang, Jeong Jeong-hwa)'. The stories behind the fierce encounter of
the two are summed up in three keywords as follows.
1. Visual
Jang Keun-suk, who plays Dokgo Ma-te, is giving off fantastic vibes in a still image released in the morning of November 6. Hong Yu-ra looks relaxed in front of Dokgo Ma-te, who can fascinate almost all women.
2. Working together with different goals
Dokgo Ma-te and Hong Yu-ra have their own goals to achieve. That is why they need to work together. Yu-ra has a mission to turn the rough gemstone Dokgo Ma-te into an expensive diamond. Will Dokgo Ma-te and Hong Yu-ra be able to survive together in a fierce competition for success?
3. Secret
Dokgo Ma-te and Hong Yu-ra have totally different personalities. They do not know each other's identity perfectly. They will work together with secrets in their mind. The story line is expected to provide TV viewers with a dramatic tension and a thrilling series of twists.
'Beautiful Man' is a drama based on the popular original cartoon of the same title by cartoonist Cheon Kye-yeong. The drama's script was written by writer Yu Yeong-ah from 'Miracle of Cell No.7' loved by 1.2 million viewers and it was directed by director Jeong Jeong-hwa from 'Flower Boys Next Door' and 'Flower Boy Ramen Shop'. The premiere will be on November 20.

No-knead bread with pepitas and gouda
So, one of my favorite plus size pieces is a letter print dress from Asos, which can be found here. I ordered down a size and it is still crazy big. It's basically a cotton sleep shirt with a really cool print. While the model makes it look all sexy on its own, I have to wear it with a belt, jacket, or both to avoid looking like I simply gave up on life. At this point, it sounds more like I hate this dress/muumuu, but I do not. Did I mention it's a freaking sleep shirt that I get away with wearing in public?!? Paired with a black moto jacket, tights, and studded combat boots (or oxfords) I look like a total badass at work. When I get home, I just take off my shoes and jacket and am ready to lounge. No need to change.
i decided to mark my return to tumblr with another modcloth dress giveaway ! this is not sponsored by modcloth and this is something i paid for with my own money (and had two ebay buyers flake on paying for, so i gave up !) and now i'm passing it on to you because it totally doesn't fit me. i…

Humans are the most disgusting animal.
We cull horses, kangaroos and other species because their populations are so large they damage the environment, yet we are a million times worse. Sometimes I wish there was a global pandemic to kill us all and restore some balance to the beautiful world we continue to destroy.
I had the most mind blowing lecture today in my Conservation Bio class about "species redundancy"
"The concept of 'species redundancy' (or 'ecological redundancy') has recently been applied to community and conservation ecology. The suggestion is that, in some communities, some species are 'redundant', i.e. they could be lost without much effect on the structure and functioning of the whole community"
My lecturer then went on to say that sometimes if 2 species are endangered its necessary to pick the less redundant species to save.
Whilst I understand the logic behind the idea, I think the major flaw is the assumption made by human beings that we actually have the ability or right to choose if a species is "redundant". Communities are so complex I believe it would be impossible for anyone to be informed enough to make that kind of decision. What if you choose the wrong species? Dont they all have the right to survive?
I went and talked to my lecturer afterwards about it. to which he said (all Yoda like)
"you're assuming that everything was perfectly evolved, and Im not saying it is, it might be, but then again it might not be"
and thus sent me into a thought spiral.
One thing I do know is that Humans are redundant
The only ecosystem service we play is "screwing shit Up"
Have decided that I am going to get back into kick boxing, starting with a run/swim/run (swim again) tomorrow morning. gotta start looking after this body of mine!
typed in sad on my itunes to accomodate for my current feeling of desolation and all my brighteyes albums popped up. time to cry and eat.
drinking a home made almond milk chai latte and listening to bombay bicycle club to reward myself for a kick ass 100% result on my remote sensing exam.
why is a womans choice to not like women a win for patriachy? i thought that feminism was all about power and equality for women- is it not one of my rights to be able to associate with human beings who arnt so interested in shopping? I dont hate women, I dont hate anyone but i sure as hell would rather hang out with males than females because the truth is, the vast majority of females dont like what I like and we wont get on. does that mean i like patriachal society? no. it means I like to skateboard and make up crude songs with my guy friends. Power to ALL the people. not just ladies or gentleman.
On days like this I wish I was a florist or a pastry chef, making beautiful things all day and coming home to rest instead of a scientist, sitting at my desk at 11pm crying my eyes out over calculus and the massive pile of readings that need to be done by tomorrow and my loneliness.
science i love you but sometimes you are such a fucking asshole
one month later and my flowers from valentines are still fresh as daisies. is this a world record yet?
I dont believe in god or heaven and i believe that only my atoms will continue to exist when i die, but I want the people I love to go to heaven. my brain is messed up.
just resigned from my bullshit waitressing/bar job.
i never have to speil again!
"Have Ithaka always in your mind.
Your arrival there is what you are destined for.
But don't in the least hurry the journey.
Better it last for years,
so that when you reach the island you are old,
rich with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to give you wealth."
When I have children I will write this in their high school graduation cards.
although I love third year the pre-honours "please pick me" brown nosing is really fucking shitting me. If i have to see one more person try and crawl up one of the lecturers asses I will literally vomit. there is that much name dropping and "oh I read your paper"ing and after lecture suck uping its ridiculous. I really dont feel the need to establish my intelligence every 5 seconds but Im worried that Ill pale in comparison to all these super sucker 1000's. I should just leave a note on one of their desks
Dear Lecturer,
My name is Bianca and I sit in the middle and I'm listening to what you say and I understand it and 9 times out of ten when you ask a question i answer it in my head correctly and I think about things critically and I dont even think about sex in your lectures
Sorry I havnt sucked up to you face to face cause to be honest I find you terrifying but I really really really dig science and I really want this honours project
I guess that would make me a suck up though.
i am so tired but on top of things for once!
now i can rest guilt free.
I love his handwriting. the characteristic bottom to top print of a lefthander, his mathematicians x's. his d's which are often almost indistinguishable from his o's, his halfassed m.
I love the face he pulls when I make no sense and the the twitch of his nose that means no.
I love his single syllable laugh. an eyes closed, shoulders to his ears "huah" and the extended "ahhhh————-uuuhm" noise he makes (often accompanied by a finger pointed in my direction) when he has something to say to me but hasnt stopped thinking about it yet.
I love his capsicum breath and kisses that tingle and his hilarious "food stylings" which im sure are a genuine attempt at making food look beautiful (but 9/10 result in a kebab looking like a microphone after he has shoved an entire mushroom on the end for presentation.)
I love all the things he does that make me think "fuck this guy is weird" and i kind of love how i sometimes catch (and promptly stop myself) from doing them. I love the red in his beard when it grows too long. I love the absence of freckles on his face. I love his face. I love him.

Yeah, I wondered that myself until I quoted it and found the link buried there. No Idea why it doesn't autoparse it or hides it but given the software quality on this forum and website, I can't say I'm surprised.

Hey mennesker som er intersserede i lydsystemer!!
Vi så lige denne tråd og tænkte at i ville være interesseret i at være en del af vores initiativ! initiativet hedder United Sound Systems (U.S.S.) og går ud på at skabe et community med dels lydsystemer og dels gadefester i fokus.
Lydsystems delen vil være være muligt at snakke med de andre I U.S.S og debattere lydsystem, så vi alle bliver bedre til at bygge et nice system. Denne del er I høj grad bygget op omkring forum strukturen, så der er rig mulighed for at nørde havde end der er det mindste relateret til lydsystemer og gadefest.
Gadefest delen (som selvfølgelig også kan blive debatteret på forummet) vil primært have facebook som platform hvor det vil være muligt at poste en gadefest til alle de andre, som 'liker' siden, dvs. både andre lydsystemer og folk, som gerne vil til gadefest. Kort sagt kan man sige at lydsystems delen, er et lidt mere internt forum, hvor gadefest er meget eksternt.
En ting dette community gerne skal gøre, er at man får brugt sit lydsystem mere end den "ene gang på Roskilde", det er nemlig vores overbevisning at folk i byen er klar til mere fest på gaden. Vi håber at dig/dit lydsystems-crew/dine venner på gaden vil være med til at gøre det community større.
Det førnævnte forum er endnu ikke helt kommet op og stå, så det vi gerne vil have dig til at gøre til at starte med, er at lave en facebook-side til dit lydsystem, så vi kan gå ind og 'like' det, og vice versa. Håber det har vagt interesse . I er altid velkommen til at kontakte os, og selvfølgelig at gå ind og se hvordan vores facebook-side og vores preliminære webside indtil videre er designet.
Mail: unitedsoundsystemsgmail[dot]com
Mvh Martin og Tommy, U.S.S.

I thought it was time to show you guys the coffin we'll bring this year.
Now first off, thanks to everyone for the awesome parties we have had over the years.
But it was time to turn the Coffin Blaster from a night club, and into a "bon fire"
We wanted to bring it back to the basics. A cool boombox that we could have in the camp, and enjoy dark nights under the pavilion between the tents.
So that's what we did.
But believe me wan I say, it still has the boom to throw a big party!
If we feel like it!
Now we have taken content from the tower from our old coffin, and with Saturnus' help, modified it to give a little more bass, so it works as a solo unit.
As usual, I used some spare time since last festival to design it in 3D, and now it's come from that, to completion in the real world.
First, here are a few of our 3D drawings to give you an idea:
It took some time before I started to photograph my progress, so here is the intire coffin, with separated chambers for batteries, filters and amp in the bottom, and left/right channel speakers in the top. These carry the exact same volume as our old tower. And before sealing the lid, I siliconed every angle of the inside, to make it air tight!
I siliconed all along the edge, and then put on the actual lid.
What you see here is the chamber for the batteries, amp and filters.
The walls you see support a drawer that can be removed.
The little gray cylindrically shaped piece of metal coming out of the wall is the actuator we used to lift the lid last year.
This year it will push the lid out sideways, only revealing the drawer.
The walls will leave any spilling over the edges falling on the outside of the electrical equipment. When the drawer is removed, the electronics will be revealed for any field maintenance.
Then it was time for the light in the lid!
It was almost a complete replica of last years gig.
Only this year, we only used a series of 10 diodes, instead of the lightstrips we used last year. This was to conserve power.
We cut a 10mm deep line along the inside of the frame, and installed the LEDs within this groove. Then put silicone on top.
We use a matt/clear silicone. When it hardens, it provides as a natural light conductor, emitting light far beyond the actual diode, spreading the light sideways.
Looks cool in the dark!
Here is another peek into the ''engine bay''.
The batteries are four 18Ah 12v Lithium-ion. So 72Ah in total.
They were perfect for this build! The in whole battery pack weighs in at only 4 kilos!
The sure beats a 25kilo car battery with 60Ah
And they come with a 230 volt charger about the size of a cellphone charger, so we can leave the whole pack to charge in the luggage storage if we want.
Except we got that covered with a 55w solar panel
The gray boxes in the second photo are passive filters for the speakers by Saturnus' design.
So I painted the light-frame and the coffin separately to get the best paint job.
Then I screwed the lid in place, puttied over the screws, sanded it down, and gave it a final finish with paint.
Looks pretty sharp!
We decided to use this old scrolling LED sign from the Coffin Blaster 3.0 in this build as well.
But we decided to make it a little nicer. So we picked it apart, then cut out the footprint of the sign, about 5 mm deep in the 15mm plywood, and inserted it.
Then siliconed it into place.
I had some red plexiglass, and some nice chromed screws laying around the warehouse.
So we took a big piece to cover it all, and I thought it looked super clean!
Here is a little look at what the coffin looks like in the dark!
And here is me and our dog, Thorvald posing a little!
Thorvald aproves BTW!
And then it's finally time to install the speakers!
We run on two 8" midranges, and two horns with magnets.
And now for the first field test!
BTW here you can see how the lid moves with the actuator
And here it is, all finished!
The only thing different is that I in this photo still haven't put the final finishing coat of paint on the light-frame. Just sanded down the putty.
And PA-style grills that will be painted red and cover the midranges. These are still in their way in the mail. Will give an extra punch to the look I believe
And this year, as the every year, we have the Baby Coffin!
This is my girl working on it! It's her coffin, so I leave the build to her
Saturnus has tweaked this one a little for us as well. 2 tweeters and two 4" midranges running of a lepai 2020.
While Christine works, we top up the battery, Roskilde-style!
And here it is! It's got straps from a backpack, so you can run around playing music while you buy beer or take a piss.
It, of course, has a baby inside. It's umbilical cord, is the minijack-cable
New feature this year, are two cigarette inputs!
One to charge from solar panel, and the other to charge iphones or ipods
We figured it was better to have the charger on the Baby Coffin, leaving all the power in the Mini Coffin for the camp's music!
We have also given the baby in the coffin some tattoos this year
The world needs more girls with powertools!
And since the Mini Coffin is now completely finished, I installed the Coca Cola bottle opener!
This is the ONLY part that has followed every single Coffin Blaster since the first one we build!
From 2007 until 2012!
Coffin Blaster 1.0 - 1,5 - 2.0 - 2,5 - 3,0 and now, the Mini Coffin (4,0).
So there you have it!
The complete build of the newest Coffin Blaster!
As always, big thanks to Saturnus for his help in making it sound as good as it does!
Feel free to ask questions, if you have any!
See you at Roskilde!
Feel free to drop by and say ''hello''!
We'll be in C47, as we are every year! <3

It's a natural high ground, so less mud, and guarateed against flooded tents!

Cool! were you in the west que last year?
Because last year 1 and two pretty much was side by side.
As in the "front line" of the que was the same, just devived down the middle out to the road.
So I woudn't worry to much
If you're early, and in the upper north corner, that would be the left flank of the que, you're in the same place as the guys in West 2 who are on the right flank

FORT WORTH — An Arlington man received a life prison sentence Monday for firing a weapon out of the window of a sports utility vehicle as he drove in a residential neighborhood and killing a man who was sitting in his apartment living room.Thomas Ramirez Jr., who has a long criminal history in Tarrant County, was convicted of murder Friday in connection with the Aug. 21, 2011, slaying of Ivan Daniel Valenzuela. Ramirez was accused of being drunk and high on cocaine when he fatally wounded Valenzuela in the left temple while he was in his west central Arlington apartment.The jury reached a verdict late Monday in state District Judge Everett Young's court, where the trial started one week ago. Ramirez must serve 30 years before he becomes eligible for parole. Valenzuela, who was sitting near an open window, was found by his father the day after the shooting slumped in his chair and holding a burned-out cigarette, according to Robert Huseman, who prosecuted the case with Allenna Bangs.Officers responded to two 911 calls about shots being fired, one in the 2000 block of Ravinia Drive and the other shortly after in the 1800 block of Romack Court, on the day authorities said Valenzuela was killed.Liza Moreno was riding with Ramirez when she insisted on getting out of his vehicle because Ramirez was drunk, Huseman said. Moreno walked the streets of Arlington awhile before realizing she was lost, and then got back into Ramirez Jr.'s red sport utility vehicle, Huseman said.Witnesses told officers that a man in a red sport utility vehicle had fired a gun out of the window of his vehicle. While searching the area, officers spotted a man and a woman getting out of a red SUV and walking into a house in the 400 block of Cousins Lane. Ramirez was initially arrested on suspicion of unlawful possession of a firearm, deadly conduct, evading arrest and possession of a controlled substance, and Moreno was arrested on outstanding misdemeanor warrants. The murder charge against Ramirez was added after police were led to Valenzuela's body the next day.Police found .40-caliber shell casings at three locations less than a mile apart, that all came from the same gun, Huseman said. Tarrant County court records show that Ramirez has an extensive criminal history dating to 2002, including convictions for failure to identify himself to police, burglary of a vehicle, burglary of a habitation with intent to commit assault, assault with bodily injury, and theft. This report includes material from the Star-Telegram archives.

Three years ago, Vincent Bova didn't have a home theater. Life was busy, with his job on Wall Street, his wife Jennifer, 2-year-old Nikolette, and a new home. He did have the bug, though. "I was fascinated with home theater, but also very intimidated by it," Vincent says. "My knowledge over the years was very technical, but it was more computer-based."
To spice up his new digs, he called a local shop, Image and Sound FX, for an estimate on a whole-house audio system. As for many of us, time flew by, and the project was put on hold. However, Vincent was about to hit his own bump. In August 2005, his vision started to get blurry. Convinced it was due to work, lack of sleep and too much computer time, he blew off seeing a specialist. Then, the headaches set in.
Numerous bottles of Advil and two doctor visits later, Vincent was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which had mounted itself on his optical nerves and pituitary gland. "Everything was put on hold—work, projects, vacations, etc.—while I sought a fine doctor who could help me," he says. Aside from increasing difficulties with his vision, there was the wait for treatment. "I spent most of my time home organizing and finalizing anything that needed to be done in the event I didn't make it through this very difficult surgery."
With his surgery scheduled, Vincent needed a positive way to pass the time. "It was at this time when I started reading and surfing the web about home theater, home automation, and anything related to the field," he says. "I was fascinated, and the feeling of having nothing to lose was overwhelming." He began taking things apart, and rewiring whatever he could get his hands on. "I did not sleep. The anxiety of the surgery was overwhelming and it was next to impossible for me to sleep. I must have spent 16 to 20 hours a day wrapping myself in the A/V world. It was great therapy!"
Remotes had always been a passion, though. "I feel they are the most underrated part of a theater, or any A/V setup," Vincent says. "It hurts to see people with seven to 10 remotes on their coffee table. Not only does it make the expensive investment un-enjoyable, but it alienates the use of the equipment to most of the family and guests of the home."
By the time his November 2005 surgery came around, Vincent was programming and creating graphics for a slew of Universal Remote controllers. He even got his wife into the act. "I would force a new remote control on my wife almost every other week, just to see if it was better or worse than the previous," he says. "I don't know what my goal was at this point; I was just having a good time with it." Today, even his 5-year-old can work the family's touchscreen. "So there is no excuse for anybody to not be able to control their system, no matter how big or small."Facebook and Twitter.

Taxes In Airfare Ads
Posted by George Hobica on Wednesday, January 25, 2012
By George Hobica
If you're an airline, January 26, 2012 is a day that will go down in infamy. That's the day that airlines will no longer be able to send you an email with a subject line readin "Europe sale from $169!" or place an ad in your local newspaper with a headline like "Worldwide sale from $59!"
Thanks to new U.S. D.O.T. rules, airlines will now have to include "all mandatory taxes and fees in the advertised fare." So what this means to you the consumer: instead of that $169 "come on" price to London that's really just the fare one-way, before taxes, government fees, and surcharges kick in, on a ticket that actually requires a round- trip purchase, you'll now see a price more like $900--the full round-trip fare including taxes, fuel surcharges, and government fees. (Theoretically, if a fare can be purchased just one-way you'll see the one-way price including those extras.)
And to make things even more interesting, you may see a range of tax-included fares on the same route, although how this will work is still up in the air. For instance, a nonstop flight from New York to LA will have a different tax than one connecting in Dallas or one stopping in Salt Lake City. That's because every time a plane lands and takes off, airports add their own fees, which vary from airport to airport.
Only mandatory fees will be included in ads
But you will not see all possible non-mandatory fees, such as checked bag fees, in advertised prices, and this makes sense since you might not be liable for paying these fees at all (if you're not checking bags, for instance, or have premier status in your frequent flyer program).
And while it would be great if airline and online travel agency booking sites allowed you to calculate what your final cost might be if you did check bags, imagine what that process would look like. The site would have to ask you to weigh your bag (how's that bathroom scale working these days?) since a bag weighing under 50 pounds would cost less than one weighing 52 pounds. And you'd have to tell the site whether you have an airline credit card that waives your first checked bag fee. And your frequent flyer status. Accomplishing this will keep the airlines' computer programmers busy for months.
But all airlines are now required to have a prominent link from their home pages to a page showing all their optional fees for things like checked bags and change fees.
A new 24-hour hold rule
The other major new rule taking effect, which airlines also won't like, allows consumers to put a fare and a reservation on hold for 24-hours a without paying for it. True, previously you could hold a fare for 24 hours on most airlines (except JetBlue) but you'd have to pay for it first. Why won't airlines like this? Well, now, as a consumer, I can theoretically book my New York to LA trip on 10 different airlines, holding seats that other consumers won't be able to book. Will this play havoc with the airlines' reservation systems and perhaps mess with their yield management systems (the way they adjust fares as seats on a particular flight sell out?). Possibly. It may also require them to adjust the way they overbook flights to compensate for no shows (the reason JetBlue never allowed 24-hour holds is that it doesn't intentionally overbook flights).
Why us?
While the all-in fare advertising rule is a more honest approach, ads with higher fares may discourage consumers from shopping on airline websites. And airlines make the argument that cable TV providers like Time Warner and Verizon, and cell phone carriers such as ATT Wireless, aren't required to show all the taxes and fees in their ads (that $99 per month cable bill, as we all know, really costs more like $139.50 or whatever when the monthly bill comes).
Why are you just picking on us, the airlines wonder. Why isn't Macy's required to include sales tax in their ads? How about those car dealerships? Well, guys, don't be too surprised if the F.C.C. and D.O.J. aren't watching over the D.O.T.'s shoulder.

Unadvertised Sale on United
Posted by Peter Thornton on Thursday, January 19, 2012
United Airlines has some really low unadvertised fares from their competitor's hub airports. Fares range from $122-$158 before tax and are valid for a 330-day travel period, 7 days a week. However, not every travel day will be available at these amazing fares and summer dates are extremely scarce or not available at all depending on the route. Nevertheless, you can get a great price if you buy now. These fares are unadvertised and will not last very long at all. They could be gone in just a few hours. Tickets require a 7-day advance purchase.
Sample fares include: (Also available in reverse direction)
New York to Miami $128 round-trip
Dallas to New York $128 round-trip
Atlanta to Los Angeles $122 round-trip
San Francisco to Atlanta $122 round-trip
Detroit to San Francisco $122 round-trip
Providence to Las Vegas $158 round-trip
Minneapolis to Los Angeles $122 round-trip
Baltimore to Austin $158 round-trip
New York to Vail $128 round-trip

97 caravan tensioner pulley replacement...need help!
97 caravan tensioner pulley replacement...need help!
The Belt tensioner is a common problem. To replace take the following steps
Remove Belt
Clean all the WD 40 off of all pulleys .WD40 in the wrong places will create havic.
Remove Alternator (just unbolt and slide back
Using a 15mm socket remove the whole tensioner. (only one bolt on back side. Must do it by feel as you cant see it.
Install new tensioner
Re-Install Alternator
Install Belt.
Try to avoid belt dressing at all cost.
thanks...I know thats it a 15mm on the tensioner itself. If I understand you correctly, there is another 15mm bolt that holds the mount (if there is one) to the engine. I am going to replace the tensioner and the idler pully all at the same time. Thanks for your helo. I might get to it tomorrow. If not, sometime this week. I'll let you know how it turns out.
A little update. First of all, on my van the pulleys bolt on directly to the mounts. (no hard to find bolts behind the pulleys) Both use a 15 mm socket to remove and they came off real easy.( I didn't have to take out the alternator either!) I checked both of them, the tensioner seemed to move freely, but I felt like it should spin for little longer than it did. It didn't make any sounds,but it just didn't feel right. I figured I could get by with it for a little while. Like I said before, I was just replaced a few months back. As for the idler pulley, that thing was seized up! I bought a new one from Napa, stuck in in and started her up. It was sooooo much better and hardly any noise. The was a very little sqeak every now and then. But when you close the door, you couldn't even hear it. This was on Saturday. Yesterday it soo much worse, pretty much back to normal. I am going to replace the tensioner pulley today and see what happens. I'll keep ya'll posted.
My theory on the tensioner pulley is that it wore out prematurely. When it was replaced a few months back, the serpentine path was out of alignment. This caused the belt to start to shred on the outside and I could see the tensioner pully wobble whe the van was running. With a new belt and the realignment it put more tension on it and now it's failing. I'll see how right I am. Later!

text: Nah, I'm pretty sure it's not - while the hair and ears are admittedly similar, Kiehn is taller and his eyebrows are really rather distinct! Also, Vest isn't in any of the other camp scenes (he kind of disappears after those mail room bits earlier on in the episode), so I doubt it's him. Easy to mistake the two, though, especially as the quality of my caps (and copy of the show) are pretty dreadful!

"When he awakened again he could stand, and did. He doused his head in cold water and drank four glasses of water. The water made him sick and after that he began to shake with a chill. He went into the bedroom and lay down on the bare blood-stained mattress, but got up almost immediately to go stumbling and staggering in haste back to the bathroom, where he got down on hands and knees and searched the floor until he had found the rusty razor-blade. He sat on the floor and put the razor-blade into his vest-pocket. Putting it in, his fingers touched his lighter. He took the lighter out and looked at it. A cunning gleam came into his one open eye as he looked at the lighter. The gleam was not sane."
