I scanned a page out of a book. The picture has a color picture on it. Normally I have been converting pages to B+W for printing. But the picture didn't convert very well. After much cutting and pasting and other editing, I now have a page that is half B+W, and the picture is greyscale. My goal is to be able to print the entire page using a printer I hope I'm making sense. Thanks. Pooh Bear |

Pretty good explanation of grayscale. I don't print much but grayscale seems best on a laser for printing black and white. |
Here is a link that might be useful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grayscale

That's a really good technical explanation. I even understood a lot of it. But there is theory, then there is practice...... So basically, the greyscale image I see on the computer screen, Thanks for the info. Pooh Bear |
My understanding and what works for me: Text on a page (with nothing else) is true black/white A "black and white" photo is indeed gray A scan of a text page with a photo should be done in grayscale and should print fine. |

My problem was scanning pages that were yellowed with age. To get rid of the yellow, I reduced the color depth to 2. This cleans up the page very nicely, but then half the picture disappeared. So after reducing the color depth to 2 to clean up the page, I increased the color depth back to 24bit and pasted a greyscale version of the picture back onto the page where it goes. I'm working entirely with scans (.bmp) in Paint and Irfanview. I haven't printed the page yet, but the print preview looks great. Pooh Bear |

I went into a new home a few weeks ago and the interior doors were painted brown. I usually see white interior doors. I was wondering what color other people painted theirs? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mine will be painted white, I imagine most doors are white or an off white color. I can't really remember the last time I seen a different color interior door. |
- Posted by LuAnn_in_PA (My Page) on Sun, Apr 21, 13 at 14:28
Mine are natural oak. |
Black is also in. |
- Posted by redheadeddaughter (My Page) on Sun, Apr 21, 13 at 16:27
I always love white and black doors. Depending on the style of the home, creamy natural colors can look great too (taupey grays and beiges for colonial/cape type homes). I have seen interior doors painted all sorts of colors lately. My favorite was a bright yellow pantry pocket door! But I get a little confused when decorating around lots of colors... so I'm going with white doors in our house. |
- Posted by GinaGordon (My Page) on Sun, Apr 21, 13 at 22:12
My trim is white opulence and my doors are SW manor house it is a dark greyish brown. We love the dark doors, they hide lots of little fingerprints. |
My trim and doors are called Stonehenge greige, kind of taupe. |
I'm in the middle of making the same decision. Our walls will be grant beige, trim is bone, and some accents will be huntington beige - somewhat darker and golder than the wall color. I'm thinking of painting the doors the Huntington beige instead of the trim color. The palette of all three cord works well together, but I'm not sure I want a gold beige on the doors (I have a horror of fleshy beiges, but these are not, and work nicely with the high desert landscape). Hard to decide without pictures/visuals! |
I'm looking forward to doing black doors with white trim in a house someday. Love that look! |
At first I had thought about black doors until I saw some brown doors in a home a few weeks ago. Now I'm debating between brown and black. |
I would suspect brown v black is just a taste-specific thing and the effect will be very much the same. If you have a tendency to decorate in stark colors, the black might be better v more neutrally colors the brown tones would be better. In my house, I could see the brown working well, but I am not someone who likes white/black checkered kitchen floors, for example. |
My interior doors are qs walnut with stainless steel inserts. |
- Posted by lori_inthenw (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 15:00
Black, as are the windows. Agree it can look stark depending on what else is in the room, so planning to warm it up with cabinets, textiles, etc. |
- Posted by GinaGordon (My Page) on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 21:22
We had white plain, solid doors before remodel, now we have natural oak doors, with glass panels in the top half, except for the one to the storage cupboard under the stairs which is plain solid oak. I much prefer the oak doors, they look so nice, especially the gold and black handles (except for one which the dog chewed a little, lol!) |

Do you know what the parents are? |
The seeds from at least 15 varieties were all put into one bag with damp peat moss. I intended to use them as rootstock and saw no use in separating them. I will be getting some seed of known parents that are large, very late, and good tasting, to grow out, but I don't know if I will get enough to send you a few. . Email me if you are interested Benny |
I have pawpaw seeds Prima1216 in exchange cuttings of fruit trees. Flowers are 100% self-pollinating, big fruit . The first harvest was 62 fruits for tree . Fruit weighing 0.7 lbs. Few seeds about 6%. Seeds are suitable for breeding new Pawpaw. Variety Prima1216 better than Peterson, pawpaw, -- they are not self-pollinating. |
Ivan set up your e-mail for a trade. |
Really ivan888,completely self pollinating?I read that only Sunflower possibly was.Nice! |
Pawpaw tree Prima1216 grows alone in the garden of the house. I did not make the hand-pollination Other pawpaw trees grow 45 meters away. Pollination air prevents the house Sending web page by Prime 1216 - sorry, in German : http://www.tropenland.at/trp/shop/kaki-info/pawpaw.asp http://www.gruener-garten-shop.de/shop/paw-paw-indianerbanane-asimina-triloba-prima-winterhart-ca-20-40-cm-c-5.html |
Thanks again Benny.This Pawpaw growing is an experiment,as it's my first time with them and they are not common here. I also just received some seeds from a grower in Kentucky called the Kentucky Champion.Here is a link about it.I don't know what I'd do with a Pawpaw tree that large. Brady |

yes, thanks from me also Benny. I still have mine in the fridge. I want to make sure they get enough cold before I start. |

If anyone has paw paw scions to trade, I'm looking. I currently have about 70 heirloom apple scions for trade as well as some pear and stone fruit. Thanks, |
Sure, email sent. |
Hey Benny, I asked this over email then realized that anybody else that is getting some might want to know as well. You mentioned keeping them in the fridge and that you were planning on using them, yadda yadda yadda. Does that mean they've had their full stratification period and are ready to plant now, or do we need to keep them chilled for a while longer yet? |
- Posted by wildforager 5b-WI (My Page) on Wed, Feb 15, 12 at 16:42
Edymnion, I never received your email. I'll try to send you one.... |
Oh, hey Wild, I see where the confusion came from now. I meant I was sending an email to Benny about the pawpaw seeds, which just happened to be right under yours asking about the scions. Sorry, my fault for not being more specific to whom I was replying. |
Hey Benny, thought you might be interested in a followup. So far out of 20 seeds planted, I have 9 sprouts, with more coming up all the time. With how hard these things are to sprout from seed, I consider it an overwhelming success already. |
Yup, thats about what mine look like as well. I've been looking around, found a place that will sell me zebra swallowtail butterfly eggs. Going to get some of those in a couple years, once all these trees are big enough to survive being nibbled on, and re-introducing them into the area as well. Gonna see about re-instating an entire lost native ecosystem here. =) |
I would love some please :) I don't know the true name for type I have but would love some more :) |
Heh, you're about 5 months late man. |
I will take any pawpaw seeds anyone wants to send and the same for quince. |
Marty, please go to my page and email me about the pawpaw seeds. Benny |

Hello. I have seeds pawpaw variety Prima 1216. I'm looking for cuttings persimmon Great Wall. Seeds and cuttings of variety Vitis rotundifolia. Ivan. |
- Posted by CharlieBoring 7 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 13, 12 at 7:02
Ivan, I doubt the self pollination claim. Not a trait of the Paw Paw since the female blossom is ready before the male is ready to deliver. My guess is there ia another variety of Paw Paw near. |
Ivan, you can buy persimmons scionwoods at England Orchard or the tree at the link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Greatwall persimmoms.

CharlieBoring, are you familiar with a variety of paw paw called sunflower? Research it, its self fertile. |
Biomed, thanks for the links. Sunflower, Sweet Virginia, Kentucky Champion and Prima 1216 to be self-pollinating variety. Ivan. |

The Leonard Cohen Birthday Bump At Heck Of A Guy
On each of the four Leonard Cohen birthdays Heck Of A Guy has commemorated, the site has enjoyed the statistical ecstasy of a boost in unique viewers1 as shown in the above graph of this year's Cohen natal day visitors from Google Analytics.
Gonna Party Like It"s 2007
While the management of this site certainly appreciates these visitors, whatever their motivation, musical orientation, gender, religious affiliation, race, sexual preference, height, weight, political beliefs, dietary restrictions, profession, and country of origin, one aberrant behavior of this group is noteworthy – they don't seem to care which birthday Mr. Cohen happens to be celebrating.
Ongoing readers may recall this phenomenon was noted last year, as described by this excerpt from Leonard Cohen's Birthday Stats At Heck Of A Guy:
On Sept 21, 2009, the most popular single page on the Heck Of A Guy site was Happy Birthday, Leonard Cohen, which seems logical enough – except that particular post commemorated the singer-songwriter's birthday last year, Sept 21, 2008.
And, two days ago, September 21, 2010 (AKA Leonard Cohen's 76th birthday), Heck Of A Guy's unique viewers showed a nice albeit not tremendous boost of about 200 over the previous day, almost all of which could be accounted for by the number of visitors to Everybody Knows – Today Is The Birthday Of Leonard Cohen, a post which I immodestly concede does offer a few bits of pithy prose and the occasional bon mot. For those who missed it, the opening paragraphs pasted below provide a fair sampling of the piece:
Everybody Knows – Today Is The Birthday Of Leonard Cohen
Well, at least every Cohenthusiast knows that Leonard Cohen was born September 21, 1934.
The question, however, is – are you prepared?
Growing up in the Bible belted-and-suspendered Ozarks, I heard the following question repeatedly proposed from the church pulpit and the Sunday School lectern: "What would you do if Jesus came to your house today?"
Well, the truth is I would have been creeped out, especially if he didn't call first, but I understood the message underlying this query: we should live our lives in such a Christian manner that we would be prepared if Jesus dropped in for a visit to the point that the only change we would need to make would be frying up an extra pork chop for dinner.
I now find it more pleasant and enlightening to ask myself "What would you do if Leonard Cohen came to your house today?"2
The post goes on to describe and offer the Leonard Cohen Heck of a Birthday Bash Kit3 shown in the illustration below.
Not bad, eh?
The clinker is that the post is dated September 21, 2007 and celebrates the 73rd birthday of Leonard Cohen.
Incidentally, when originally published, Everybody Knows – Today Is The Birthday Of Leonard Cohen garnered a modestly above average number of viewers at a time when Heck Of A Guy was not on the radar of most Leonard Cohen fans. It generated one comment – a helpful reader provided a YouTube link to a Fats Domino rendition of "Blueberry Hill," the song the Leonard Cohen Heck of a Birthday Bash Kit recommended as music for the birthday party.
Oh, there was one other response. Shortly after the post went online, I did receive this email with the attached art:
Dear Heck,
Thank you for the Birthday Greetings.
Old Leonard

Each unique visitor is counted only once, regardless of how many visits are made or how many pages are viewed [↩]
- Of course, the even more difficult question would be, "What if Leonard Cohen and Jesus came to your house today?" [↩]

Hannigan said most of J&J's fresh-cut goes to Cub Foods, a Supervalu chain.
"They're got their hands full, and we presented the idea of doing this and taking it to the retail level," Hannigan said. "We're really going to rotate, really help manage growth in that category."
J&J's Michigan growers expanded their acreage by at least 450 acres across the board this year, Hannigan said. The company expects to have more peppers, watermelon, tomatoes, beans, sweet corn, melons, cucumbers, peas, raspberries and strawberries.
The company is also contracting growers for the first time this year in order to create a more sustainable supply chain, Hannigan said.
"People can count on us for profitable volumes," he said.
J&J operates The Produce Exchange in the Midtown Global Market in Minneapolis.

Trina Turk Residential
Palm Springs, CA, 92262, United States
California-born designer Trina Turk opened this home furnishings store in 2008, next to the first location of her women's and men's fashion boutique. The one-story building, built in 1962 by desert modernist architect Albert Frey, sits on a wide street lined with palm trees. Inside, the white surfaces, bright lemon-yellow walls, and strong prints evoke the 1960's and 1970's—decades from which Turk draws inspiration. Mock rooms are outfitted with graphic-print pillows, napkins, and more made with Trina Turk's signature fabrics, as well as other designer goods, such as Missoni towels and Alice Supply Co's brightly colored gardening tools.

The Ohio State University at Lima What: Recent graduates include first from regional business program When: 2003 Commencement Where: The Ohio State University at Lima Contact: Pam Joseph at (419) 995-8284 or Erin McVicker at (419) 995-8332 |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 24, 2003 Contact: Pam Joseph at (419) 995-8284 or Erin McVicker at (419) 995-8332 Recent graduates include first from regional business program Among The Ohio State University's 6,775 graduates this spring were 23 who received their bachelor's degrees in business through a new program that made the business major available to students at the university's four regional campuses. An additional two are scheduled to graduate in August. Spring graduates from The Ohio State University at Lima include Krista Marie Boerger of Fort Loramie, Matthew Butler of Lima, Bradley James Dailey of Bluffton, Karen E. Lackey of Lima, and Chad Allen Maxwell of Mount Cory. Summer graduates are Jamie Lynne Stemen of Spencerville and Debra Sue Vobbe of Lima. The undergraduate business degree program was offered at Ohio State's Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark campuses for the first time in September 2001. Fisher College began developing the program several years ago in response to a request from the university to make its nationally accredited business program available to students at the regional campuses. Last fall, it received an Innovation in Business Education Award from the Mid-Continent East Business Administration Association of the AACSB-International, the national business school accrediting organization. Fisher College faculty and technology specialists developed the junior and senior level business courses offered at the regional campuses for the degree, using a combination of distance learning technology and on-site instructional support. The first six courses were rolled out in 2001-02, and the remaining courses were offered for the first time in the 2002-03 academic year. Development of the electronic instructional system and materials is supported by a grant from the Dorney Fund of the Cleveland Foundation. The grant enables employment of a team of in-house instructional technology specialists and a system of faculty grants. Each course involves a web-based instruction system that employs video, audio, graphics and text to convey the basic content of the course. Most courses also employ weekly on-site recitation sessions. For additional information about this program, contact: Peace Li ### |

Heed the Signs
Announcing Signs in the Stars, an upcoming Warhammer: Invasion Battle Pack |
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game | Published 16 February 2011 |
With the discovery of each new body, Kayl's anger grew. His hand clenched upon the wood of his longbow until his fingers grew numb, and he could feel his jaw tightening with rage. These monsters had dared invade his home, had hunted and slaughtered his kin. Just then, a bubbling groan rang out from somewhere deeper within the woods, and Kayl's head snapped towards it. With a snarl, the Waywatcher instantly loped towards the source of the sound, his fingers instinctually reaching for the fletchings of his arrows and fitting one to the string of his bow.
- From "Signs in the Stars," the included short story by Ross Watson
Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Signs in the Stars, the fourth Battle Pack in The Morrslieb Cycle for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game! When the foul taint of Chaos disrupts the tranquility of Athel Loren, a lone Waywatcher may be the Wood Elves' last hope of defending their homeland against total destruction.
An Ominous Portent
Signs in the Stars adds a host of new deck-building options to your Warhammer: Invasion experience. This 60 card pack contains 20 different never-before-seen cards designed to augment existing decks and add variety to the Warhammer: Invasion metagame.
The High Elves' Bladelord dominates the battlefield with his mastery of the Path of the Autumn Wind, while the Dark Elves' Enraged Manticore lays waste to everything it sees. Meanwhile, the Empire hero Luthor Huss charges into battle, and the Dwarfs observe the battle from the safety of their Gyrocopter!
And in the included short story by Ross Watson, a Wood Elf Waywatcher surveys the scene of a mysterious but bloody skirmish, unaware that the threat is far from gone...
Look for Signs in the Stars on store shelves this spring, and keep checking back for more on Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game!
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a card game by Eric M. Lang in which 2 players develop their kingdoms and lay waste to their foes. Each side is comprised of either the forces of Order or the forces of Destruction as they seek to extend their empire to include the entire Old World. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Battle Pack expansions to the core game.
I don't care too much for the newly revealed card but am more looking forward to the Wood Elves cards. They are my army in WHFB and I am glad they finally found there way into Invasion. Already seen the artwork on a Treekin and now a Spellsinger. Can't wait to see the rest and the ability of a Waywatcher (character) as they are my number 1 fluffy unit.
I was actually almost quiting the game but I will surely collect them again as of the next battlepack-series.
Kind of a betterish bule? He's kinda cheap, but being a hero really nerfs his potential in my eyes. Although I get the feeling FFG doesn't want multiple recurring corrupt effects comming out early game.
Awesome card! caos is getting really strong this cycle.
Do you know when is it going to be released? They said in the middle of winter, and we're in the middle of winter
@ Virgo - that was a joke. ;) I know that Masque Of Slaanesh is a master deamonettes that dances to favour Slaanesh.
Ha ha ha! Hey! I just corrupted all your best defenders!
Yeah? Well I just corrupted all your best attackers. You know, the ones that get bonuses for my stuff being corrupted. And while we're at it, I'll just sacrifice dwarfs and kill you with RTF. Or I'll bounce these empire units and play them all next turn with resources to spare. Or I'll just HE bounce everything. But at least you corrupted 1-3 of my units.
Chaos doesn't get any stronger with this, but Chaos/Skaven might be ok.
No, ale daemonettes are female :P
@Virgo - This is Slaanesh You can never be sure. ;p
The Masque of Slaanesh is actually she...
Awful artwork.
Oh by the way other unit are looking interesting to: High Elves' Bladelord, Dark Elves' Enraged Manticore, Empire Luthor Huss,Dwarfs Gyrocopter! I wonder what other great card will those new battlepack bring. :)
Masque Of Slaanesh - what a Hero! now, this one could be big. And the best thing is he's cheap, you can play him in second round. Yes, can't wait now for a pre-order of this one. Thanks FFG!

Why Chad Michael Murray should play Nirvana's Kurt Cobain
WHY HIM? As ''Tree'''s Lucas, Murray is a smart, temperamental, blue-eyed loner from a broken family -- great training to play Cobain, the agonized voice of a generation. In an earlier role on ''Dawson's Creek,'' Murray fronted a band and hooked up with both Jen (Michelle Williams) and Joey (Katie Holmes). Plus, we're reliably informed that the chiseled Murray, who also played a musician in ''Freaky Friday,'' is totally hot.

King Beyoncé isn't the only former child of destiny with the prowess to snag a prominent baller. Remember Kelly Rowland's brief engagement to retired Cincinnati Bengals safety Roy Williams? Now LeToya Luckett might be adding her name to the exclusive list of R&B singers dating professional athletes.
Luckett and burgeoning basketball dynamo, Kevin Durant, were inconspicuously snapped recently while enjoying a quiet dinner in Las Vegas.
A photo which reveals next-to-nothing has the blogosphere buzzing with the possibility of another power couple on the black celeb horizon. However, there's one drawback to this potential merger: Neither KD or Luckett have confirmed or denied the eddying rumors.
Both are notoriously private, so it will be almost impossible to separate their sealed lips on The Wynn in Sin City dinner or their relationship status. Apologies in advance for the lack of forthcoming information, obsessed celeb frolickers.
But at least we have this 2011 Christmas Eve tweet from the OKC Thunder small forward to tide us over:
"Hmm @LeToyaLuckett RT @Holycow_cee:@KDTrey5 what celebrity would you go on a date with?"
Above all else, we can finally praise LeToya's decision to leave ex-lover Slim Thug in the Houston heat and begin pursuing other options.

January is a traditional film "dumping ground." Studios often save releases they feel are not holiday-season worthy and release them during this obscure month. Several new releases look to rise above the status quo and become diamonds in the rough, such as the films "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Broken City".
"Gangster Squad" is another film which has that potential. The 1940s mobster tribute, which boasts Oscar nominees such as Ryan Gosling and Sean Penn, follows several detectives who are assigned to take down notorious gangster Mickey Cohen. However, is the cast able to elevate the relatively simple plot? Is the violence a bit too much?
Austin Flynn: I was ready for a well-written gangster flick after seeing this movie's trailers. Unfortunately, the film just didn't have a strong script. The movie barrels along with action scene after action scene, and it relies heavily on gunfights to keep viewers involved. "Squad" is a fast-paced film, but it left me wanting more character development. While Emma Stone is featured toward the end, for example, I thought her part was very small and lacked any big- picture importance.
Karsten Burgstahler: I completely agree. Stone's star power is undeniable. While she nails the femme fatale role, she could've been given more to do. Mireille Enos, who plays Josh Brolin's wife, also had a shortened role. Brolin plays the same hard-boiled and always-serious character in nearly every movie. Penn steals the show as Cohen; he dominates the screen in each of his scenes. He clearly has a good time as he spits out corny gangster lines such as "Santee (sic) Claus is coming to town!" while he opens fire. The plot is minimal, yes, but honestly I didn't expect much more. I hoped for more, but this always seemed like a simple revenge flick to me.
AF: Once I accepted the movie as the shallow blood-and-guts film it is, I'll admit it was an enjoyable shoot-'em-up flick. The squad reminded me of a 1940s "A-Team" with members who specialize in cool. Gosling starts the movie as a smooth-talking boozer, which was a smart casting choice. Penn plays the gangster boss well, but I couldn't take him seriously because I kept seeing his "I Am Sam" character in Mickey Cohen, which frankly is a very strange combination. The film's finale was expected but fun, and it left the impression most people would expect from such a flick.
KB: It's funny you should say that. It does leave a bloody imprint, tommy guns and all. However, director Ruben Fleischer added a stylized violence angle. Several gunfights occur in slow motion, and blood often splatters the camera. The film is a gangster picture and modern violence fusion, which works for a while but is eventually a distraction. "Squad" definitely scores style points, and Gosling is perfect for his role so I can't understand why Fleischer added scenes that gleefully approach violent "Saw" territory. The film is enjoyable, but it squanders clever ideas. I simply expected more.

Hi all, would anyone be willing to explain what they have done when their pool is "opened"? We pay $400 + chemicals to open our pool and I'm having a hard time figuring out what my expectations should be. For $400 it seems like the pool should be cleaned of debris/leaves, vacuumed and salt added (when appropriate). But since I'm still a relatively new pool owner, I have no clue! Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! thanks, Marta |

Hi Marta. Long time no see. Remember we were building at the same time and had similar designs IIRC. We just paid $400 to have ours opened last week. "$400!," I screamed when my husband told me how much it would cost, "that is robbery." Then I watched 10 guys, work together like a well-oiled machine for about an hour and fifteen minutes - and then it was clear why they charged so much. Sure I could have done it myself (no way, man. It would have taken me DAYS) or had another company do it - the others ranged in price from $275 - $375. But this is my pool builder who, as long as they're doing the opening and closing, they will fix any issues - free of charge - if something were to go wrong. For $400, here's what they did: Oh, and one of the co-owners said I looked like I'd lost weight since last summer. LOL Worth every penny. Here's a pic of them removing the visqueen. This seemed like the hardest part. They were stationed all around the perimeter of the pool to make sure none of the stinky, slimy mess went into the pool. |

A couple more pics just to show how clean the pool was when they opened. There's no way we could've done this so efficiently and cleanly. Without a divorce. |
Wow! Can they come to Boston? No vacuuming or cleaning the waterline tile - that is clear. I know they put an additional $81 worth of chemicals in. And of course removed our cover and hooked up the pool. But sounds like perhaps we need to have a conversation about expectations! I need to do my due diligence about what other companies around here do. Thanks so much Banana_Fana, your pool looks AMAZING!!!! |
- Posted by banana_fanna (My Page) on Mon, May 13, 13 at 17:32
Thanks. Looking forward to planting some flowers, dragging out the furniture, etc. One other thing the guys did that went above and beyond was: Ya know the grommet thingies that are in the pavers that you attach the safety cover to? Over the winter it was glaringly obvious that the tension of several of them lifted the pavers up. Somehow the guys fixed that. I didn't see them do it but after they left I noticed they were all flat again. I figured I'd either have to level them out myself or call the paver guy. |

As usual the Espera Sbarro Montbeliard School of Design didn't show up to the Geneva Motor Show empty handed. However unlike last year's concept – the delightfully mad Sbarro Eight – this year's concept looks very tame and rather discreet. It certainly wouldn't stand out in your average sportscar lineup.
Called the Sbarro React'E.V. the concept is hybrid powered. Regarding the name, usually EV denotes an all-electric powered vehicle, but for the React'E.V. it stands for "Ecological Vehicle". It took 30 students, 13 weeks to build the React'E.V. That would be impressive even if the car were just a basic concept car, or a rolling shell. But the React'E.V. has been thoroughly engineered, and will take part in the Monte Carlo New Energy Rally later in March.
Powering the Sbarro React'E.V. is a hybrid drivetrain which combines a Peugeot-sourced 210 horsepower V6 with two DC brushless electric motors. The V6 powers the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. While the front wheels are powered by the electric motors. Overall the hybrid drivetrain offers a none-too-shabby 484 horsepower.
It has got a bit of a shouty face though!

Standing a slight 5-foot-1, Divonnie Powell is small in stature. Ask her to talk about her noteworthy abilities and you'll find she is a girl of few words.
But when it comes to playing basketball, the Central Cabarrus junior packs a big game.As the Vikings' point guard, Powell is much more than a ball distributor. She leads the team in a variety of statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists and steals. In a year and a half as a starter, she has helped Central turn into a middle-of-the-pack threat in the South Piedmont Conference."We go as she goes," said first-year Central coach Scott Fortune.The Vikings are competitive again in the conference, having won three league games and working themselves, in Fortune's opinion, toward a possible state playoff berth.Powell has been a big reason for that, leading the Vikings by averaging 10.2 points, 3.1 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game.Senior forward Mellena Helms, senior guard Jessica Hubbard and junior forward KeKaya Thompson are also having solid seasons.A veteran high school boys coach, Fortune said this year's Vikings "play the hardest and compete the most" of any team he's ever had. Powell's progression as a team leader has been at the front of that movement."She's really developing as a point guard," said Fortune. "She's really starting to run the team, to the point where I don't have to say much to her."Powell has really improved in that area since Fortune took over the program last spring. The coach easily recognized Powell's raw talent, and during off-season workouts she started to refine it.Fortune saw glimpses of his team coming together when the Vikings attended team camp at UNC Charlotte during the summer."You can always tell when Divonnie's playing well," said Fortune. "The team is playing hard. We're playing as a team. We're playing great defense. She makes us go."With an undersized team, Fortune likes the Vikings to run the court and push the tempo. That's when Powell is mostly in her comfort zone, using her quickness and athleticism to slalom through defenses.Though they were both defeats, Powell has had some of her biggest games against some of the SPC's stiffest competition.In a Jan. 3 game against Jay M. Robinson High, Powell notched 14 points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals. Facing Concord on Dec. 20, she scored 14, grabbed six rebounds, dished out six assists and had four steals.In an early-season game against West Stanly, Powell's three-point play in the waning seconds helped the Vikings pull out a 56-52 victory.The game against Concord had special meaning for Powell. As a freshman, she played on Concord's undefeated junior varsity team."I played my best against Concord because I used to go to Concord," said Powell. "That pushes me, seeing my old teammates."Powell was disappointed to have to transfer, she said, but she quickly adjusted to her new school and teammates. She came off the bench for half of her sophomore season but cracked Central's starting lineup late in the season.Powell is also a solid middle- and long-distance runner and has competed in USA Track and Field national competitions. She's contemplating whether she will compete for Central Cabarrus this season.Wednesday, Feb. 08, 2012

Here is another comic inspired by the parables of Halcolm, a fictional character of Michael Quinn Patton's. I have promised myself, that no matter what, I am always going to make a little time for making art. Right now, that amounts to about two pages of comics a week. Whenever I get an idea for a comic, I jot it down. Then, I pick the idea I like best to make into a comic.
For now, I am enjoying making comics that illustrate something I'm learning in my course work. Eventually, some of these may find their way into my dissertation.

Not that the directions are followed or even read — unless there's a problem and you have to admit you needed the instructions all along. When all else fails ... read the directions. But that is so humiliating!
From the time we're born, someone is directing us — training, teaching and guiding. We were born to serve the Lord. With the intelligence God gave us, knowledge is acquired, but that is not the stopping place. No matter how sharp a person's mind is, all that "smarts" must be applied to life.
In James 3:13, he talks about wisdom and its importance. He's not the first in the Bible — remember King Solomon? — but he states the premise in a most simple way: If you have it, it shows. Where: In the works that you do. A person is granted wisdom for a reason. It is for that one purpose — that we can serve and glorify the Lord.
The apostle says a truly wise person does not boast of his wisdom, but is meek and not self-seeking. A wise person is a peacemaker. He has peace with God — he is teachable. His only aim is to serve.
Not every time will the right direction yield the expected results — doing things God's way is not a way of getting ahead in the world. That's not why we obey the Lord. It's because we understand that God's laws are wise and they show us how to live life "at its best."
"Ride the wave" may be the cry of the world, but "please God" is the motto of the Christian. The only safe course is to let God's commandments direct us.
Psalm 199:116 reads, "Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope." Tolerance of wrong is not commendable and there is nothing to be proud of in moral cowardice. The virtue is in loving people regardless of their situation — not in condoning their sins so they will be worthy of love. None of us is "worthy of love."
In this day of tolerance and acceptance — this has nothing to do with love — of every evil, a person's thoughts, attitudes and actions need to be subjected to the judgment of God, which will cause man to seek out the right path and stay on it no matter what. Which is better? Shall we offend God at the risk of offending man?
Paul in the Epistle to the Galatians said, "... do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men" for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ."
In the world today, there is confusion and chaos simply because the Word is not believed and God's natural and spiritual laws are ignored and brushed aside with contempt. Man has a better idea, he thinks.
We cannot change God's laws for mankind or the laws of nature. An apple will still fall from a tree, no matter how many times you might try to rewrite the law of gravity. And sin will still be sin, no matter how much it is tolerated, accepted or downplayed.
The answer? "Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me" (Psalm 119:133).

J.R. Mills was 86 when he died on July 28. I found him to be one of the most well-read and studious individuals I had ever come across. He was the first person in Cleveland, Tenn. to invite me to his home for a weekly study of the Bible.
Anyone who knew him knew how much he loved discussing the Word of God. He had an amazing ability to recite Scriptures and an unquenchable thirst to increase his knowledge and wisdom. I never intended to stay longer than an hour at his home, but 2 1/2 hours later I found myself wondering where the time went. That's how enjoyable it was to visit with him and his wife, Louise. In years past we discussed everything from life and death to baseball and the Bible. As friends, we saw eye-to-eye on many things. One of the things we agreed on is that death is not a friend.
The Bible calls it "the last enemy" at 1Corinthians 15:26. But as a student of the Bible, J.R. did not fear death. He loved life but he was not afraid of death. This was true because he understood what death was; the opposite of life. He would quote Genesis 3:19 and tell me how God told Adam and Eve "dust you are and to dust you shall return." — New King James Version.
Then he would tell me if Adam and Eve went anywhere other than back to the dust, God would not have been telling them the truth — that if they ate from the forbidden fruit they would die, not keep living elsewhere, but cease to exist. It was that simple to him.
He based his views on several Scriptures, but three of his favorites that we discussed were Ecclesiastes 9:5 that says, "For the living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing." — New King James Version. He would tell me if the dead knows nothing, how could they be tormented or enjoy a life of bliss anywhere else? Sometimes I would just listen and smile. I felt he needed to say these things out loud — things he was convinced was the truth, but could not understand why others could not see them clearly.
We discussed Daniel 12:2, "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." — King James Version.
"Don't people understand that right now everyone who dies is like they are sleeping?" he would ask. Sometimes he would laugh and say, "They need to read their Bibles and stop listening to what everybody is telling them. It's all right there in the book!"
Then we'd go to John 11:11-24, where Jesus spoke about the death of his friend Lazarus. In that account he told his disciples, "Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up. Then His disciples said, 'Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.' However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. Then Jesus said to them plainly, 'Lazarus is dead.'" — New King James Version.
This is why J.R. did not fear death. He knew it was like a sleep. He also accepted Jesus as his savior and believed in a resurrection to life again. At John 11:25, Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live." — New King James Version.
At that time, according to Revelation 21:4-5, death will be no more and God would make all things new. This is where I hope to see J.R. — a man who searched for truth and shared what he discovered. Few people his age had his memory. Few people I've known shared his eagerness to learn. I never met anyone who loved talking about the deep things of God the way J.R. did. He will be missed.
He also enjoyed talking about the glory days of playing baseball with his longtime neighborhood friends. I can still hear the enthusiasm in his voice as he talked about pitching and playing ball, but he was too modest to mention that he was inducted into the Bradley County Sports Hall of Fame for baseball in 1995, or that he played a key role in organizing the Hiwassee Baseball League. I had to find that out on my own.
However, few things brought him more joy and laughter than talking about the first time he met his beloved, Louise, leading up to their marriage! It was obvious to me that he loved her more than he could ever say. I knew him as a man who loved his wife, loved his children and loved God deeply. Typical of many World War II veterans, J.R. didn't share his feelings about certain things, but he always shared his thoughts about God's Word, his love of baseball and his love of family.
In a world where most people gullibly believe what they are told, here was one man who did not follow the crowds. He studied his Bible, searched for truth, reached out for help, reasoned on the Scriptures and proved to himself the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. People like that are hard to find, and even harder to lose.

FCC, CenturyLink partnership provides rural broadband funding
Monday, July 30, 2012
Last week the Federal Communications Commission announced a public/private partnership with CenturyLink to extend broadband Internet access to rural Coloradans.
The announcement was made last Thursday through the FCC's Connect America Fund, which is allocating $6 million to assist CenturyLink in providing greater broadband access to more than 8,100 Colorado locations.
CenturyLink, the nation's third largest communications company, is expected to bring broadband Internet access to more than 21,000 residents as a result of the partnership.
Following the announcement Colorado Democrat Sen. Mark Udall called the partnership an important first step for Colorado businesses.
"Broadband Internet connects the businesses of rural Colorado with new customers and rural residents with the broader world," Udall said in a news release. "This partnership is a great example of the positive, productive role government can play when it partners with the private sector.
"It is crucial that we continue doing all we can to level the broadband playing field and ensure that rural Coloradans have the same quality of Internet access as their urban counterparts."
Though the partnership is expected to touch more than 21,000 residents in more than 8,100 locations, it does not stipulate which communities would benefit from the $6 million in funds.
Moffat County Commissioner Audrey Danner, who has been championing access to rural broadband in northwest Colorado for some time, said she assumes communities may have to compete for their share of the funds.
On Thursday the Northwestern Colorado Local Technology Planning Team, a collaboration of businesses, residents and government officials in Moffat, Routt and Rio Blanco counties, is scheduled to meet at 10 a.m. in the main level conference room at the Moffat County Courthouse, 221 W. Victory Way.
The FCC, CenturyLink partnership is going to be one of the topics of conversation, Danner said.
Though five CenturyLink representatives attended a northwest Colorado broadband meeting in December and identified Craig and Moffat County as a location ripe for increased broadband access, an invitation to attend this week's meeting had not yet been accepted as of Sunday, Danner said.
"Six million dollars is a wonderful commitment to Colorado," Danner said. "It is an important amount of money and we will certainly ask for investment in northwest Colorado. We have been asking."
In January Danner's term as commissioner comes to an end, which begs the question who will carry the broadband torch in her absence.
Though Danner does not believe it is the county's responsibility to provide the infrastructure for increased broadband Internet access, she does believe an elected county official should lead the effort in building the necessary partnerships.
Danner said she has spoken with the candidates competing for Moffat County's District 1 and District 2 seats including Dave DeRose, Chuck Grobe, John Kinkaid and Rick Barnes.
"I would be respectful of other commissioners as to how they would want to approach this," Danner said. "Yet we're going to need to stay on top of it or it won't happen."
Danner may be nearing the end of her tenure on the board of county commissioners, but said she also sits on a committee with the state's Office of Information Technology.
Danner believes that relationship and her knowledge of the issue would allow her to remain active in the rural broadband effort in some capacity in the future.

This is a gorgeous dark dusty, dirty cool toned mauve. Its actually quite unique shade. The dusty lavender w/ gray & brown tone looks awkward & unappealing in the tube, but quite the opposite on the lips. In my opinion trendy looks best on deep dark chocolate skin a gorgeous throw & go easy nude that needs no liner/lipstick underneath to look pretty. When Im going for a warmer/brighter look I just add pinky mauve underneath, will definitely repurchase.

Simply put this gloss is not a universally flattering color. To me it is best suited towards warmer/deeper skintones. With that being said it is fabulous, consider that I am a shade "golden" in bobbi brown or NC45/C6 mac. Its a mauve plum color and its just what you need when you are going for a toned down lip, would be amazing with a smoked out eye as well. All in all great buy and I recommend it with no hesitation.

The formula is creamy but a bit drying. I like how opaque and pigmented this gloss is but the colour is mediocre. In the tube it looks like a wearable plum shade but on my lips it looks like a very unnatural purple colour. Thd good thing about this gloss is that there is no glitter in it.

It's an odd color but paired with a bright fuschia or sparkly pink lipstick really tones the color down to something office wearable. Get this color!!

I have this color and at first I did not like it at first. Well, I did like it but didn't know how to work it. I do love nude lips but thought this was too off for me. I am NW45/47. It is a a greyish purpleish brown. I can't wear it too heavy or else it will look too chalky. I use a bit of a mid tone brown lip liner for definition and its a perfect nude for me. I don't own MAC Spite lip gloss so I can't do a side by side comparision but it reminds me of Trendy.
Edit 1/21/11: I recently purchased MAC Spite lipgloss and NYX Trendy is very similiar. On me Trendy is milkier, making it a lighter cooler color.

I love these glosses, but this is like a dull, greyish-purple-brown, very unflattering to my fair skin. It is very cool-toned, no shimmer, kind of looks like that Hawaiian delicacy Poi- not a color I want on my lips. It might look good on cool-toned deep skinned women, who can get away with cool purples. For me it made me look like I'd been drowned.

This shade looked totally different on the Cherry Culture website than it does in person. It's just a creamy medium brown shade of gloss. It doesn't look like something that would be good on me. :(

Last night my Beekeepers group discussed controlling hive beetles by placing limestone or limestone-like materials under and around the hive for at least 2 feet in all directions. Any thoughts on this method or better ones? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I suppose the limestone materials are intended to provide inhospitable soil for the SHB larvae to pupate, thus interrupting the reproductive cycle. There are also a variety of in-hive traps to capture the adults before the mate and lay eggs. I use one called beetle-jail jr. Doing both wouldn't hurt. There are also two varieties of nematodes that can be used to destroy the beetle pupae. |

Valdosta Orthodox Christian Mission was established by a group of Orthodox Christians with a desire to provide our community access to Orthodox worship. Seeing the need, Archbishop Dmitri (OCA- Diocese of the South) and Fr. Ted Pisarchuk (the missions and evangelism director of our diocese) gave us their blessing to hold readers services while exploring the possibility of establishing an official Orthodox Mission in Valdosta, GA.
On the weekend of August 19, 2006 our first Great Vespers and our first Divine Liturgy were served with Fr. Sergius Clark from Jacksonville, FL. The Valdosta Daily Times ran a feature on us at that time.
Our worship services are currently held at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 3501 Bemiss Road.
The Orthodox tradition may be quite different from your previous church experience. We will do all we can to make you feel welome, and there will be no pressure on you to join the Orthodox Church. We encourage you to bring your children.
If you have any questions please contact us.

Jamaica | Spreading Ja love from the left wing
Ali G, the edgy hip-hop persona of British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, offers this rhyme:
I am Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Put down your gun
and listen to Bob Marley.
Listening to Bob Marley has been the theme at the monthlong Africa Unite celebration of Marley's 60th birthday in Addis Ababa. We are disappointed, but not surprised, that organizers canceled a match scheduled between the Ethiopian national team and world all-stars on Feb 9.
Fixture congestion has become serious with league, cup, Champions League, international matches and, earlier this week, with the Football for Hope match for tsunami relief.
Marley's connections with football have been well-documented. He played as a midfielder, usually on the left, and seems often to have engaged journalists through football. Paul Alessandrini, for example, a French journalist, tells Marco Virgona of bobmarleymagazine.com that he had once tried to interview Marley after a show in Amsterdam, but did not have success until proposing a soccer match.
I proposed to play soccer during his next visit in Paris [May 1977]. The interview was published in Rock & Folk magazine. In 1992, when I visited Hope Road in Kingston, that cover (and my interview) was hung on the wall of [Marley's] house. We played soccer on a synthetic ground next to Hilton Hotel in Paris and the Tour Eiffel. There were the Wailers, four or five rock critics and a team with actors, artists and Francis Borrel, at that time the president of Paris St. Germain. We won 4–0. I saw Bob again in 1980 in Kingston. … We again played soccer in the yard. He said: "Football is music."
The May 1977 match in Paris, if accounts are accurate, is significant for another reason. Before halftime Marley had to leave with a recurring injury to his toe. The toe problem continued to nag him and, disregarding advice from doctors, Marley declined treatment. (Other accounts have Marley injuring his toe during another game in Britain, also in 1977.) He continued to play football, however, and made a much-celebrated trip to Brazil in March 1980 (Leo Vidigal, "Bob Marley in Brazil," rootzreggae.com).
The visit was to help launch a record label. Marley did not perform but played football at the home of Brazilian music legend and writer Chico Buarque. Marley received a Pelé Santos jersey and led an attacking side that won 3–0. "Rivelino, Jairzinho, Pelé … Brazil is my team," Marley said. "Jamaica likes soccer because of Brazil."
It is not known when Marley last played football. What turned out to be cancerous growth in his foot spread to his lungs and brain. Marley died in Miami on 11 May 1981, sometimes watching football tapes with friends during the illness. He was 36 when he died.
We would welcome a correction, but it appears that Marley never addressed football in his music, despite his remark that "football is music." He also said that "football is freedom," and freedom appears to have resonated with Marley—who in darker moments, according to biographer Christopher John Farley, worked in an auto plant in Wilmington, Delaware, calling himself "Donald."
This was during a time of professional disputes in the Jamaican music scene, but Marley returned to sing the tenets of Rastafarianism, of the exodus to Ethiopia, the faith's spiritual home. "He wanted everything at the same time," said Bono at Marley's 1994 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, "and was everything at the same time: prophet, soul rebel, Rastaman, herbsman, wild man, a natural mystic man, ladies man, island man, family man, Rita's man, soccer man, showman, shaman, human, Jamaican."
Bono refers to Marley's wife, Rita Marley, who headed the celebrations in Ethiopia. Asking "how can you give up a continent for an island?" Rita Marley has emphasized the lure of Africa to her husband, even suggesting that his body be relocated to Shashemene, where former Ethiopian emperor and Rasta deity Haile Selassie donated property for a Rastafarian settlement. Reggae and the Rastas, according to various researchers, were looked down upon among the authorities in Jamaica.
Marley was born poor in Nine Mile and grew up in a slum in west Kingston, Trenchtown, a housing estate constructed after a 1951 hurricane. According to the Guardian's Gary Younge ("Bad Vibes as Tug-of-Love Hits Marley Anniversary," Feb 5), Marley was far from celebrated at home during much of his life. He survived an assassination attempt in 1976. His legend on the island has been primarily a posthumous phenomenon, encouraged by the embrace in which the world holds Marley's songs.
And Marley no doubt would be pleased at another comeback: that of the Ethiopian national side, which has risen 20 places in the FIFA rankings after winning the CECAFA (East and Central Africa) Cup last December.
The nation, appropriate to its association with Marley, has a progressive background in football, having established mixed-race sides after a reconciliation match between St. George football club and Italian nationals following liberation in 1942. In 1957, the African football confederation (CAF) formed with Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt and South Africa (for the time being) as original members. It is believed to have been the first pan-African institution. Ethiopia has hosted the African Cup of Nations twice, winning in 1962, but had been in decline until the recent success. Marley would have been able to soak in this history himself during a planned tour of Africa with Stevie Wonder in 1981, but the tour never took place.
Our lingering image is that of the football-obsessed Marley, as recounted by record-company publicist Rob Partridge, during a string of rehearsals and interviews in the UK in 1978. A World Cup match came on television. "He sat down in front of the TV and after 10 minutes it was obvious he wasn't going to move," says Partridge. "That was the end of it."
Footballers, too, often have affection for Marley. As an example, consider Ezra Hendrickson of new Major League Soccer side Chivas USA. During his days with the Los Angeles Galaxy, the native of St. Vincent and the Grenadines wore a Bob Marley T-shirt underneath his jersey. Of his adjustment to Chivas, Hendrickson said, "I brought four Marley CDs with me and we listen to them all in the locker room" (Paul Gutierrez, "Hendrickson Welcomed Home with New Team," Los Angeles Times, 27 Feb 05).
The 25th anniversary of Marley's death passed on 11 May 06 with remembrances from the site of Marley's crypt in Nine Mile (Jacqueline Charles, "The Years Can't Lessen Marley's Mystique, Fame," Miami Herald, 8 Mar 06) and concerning the song "One Love" ("Bob Marley's Music and Magic Endure," National Public Radio, 11 May 06).

In retrospect, this gem of the Chippewa Valley music scene had quite the all-star lineup. After breaking up, all the members went on to play in successful groups: Brian Moen – Peter Wolf Crier, Laarks. Josh Scott – self titled solo act. Phil and Brad Cook – Megafaun. Looking to the future is a healthy thing, and focusing on the potential of these newer acts leaves plenty to be excited about. But, despite Amateur Love's status as permanently dissembled, and despite the fact the LP in question has been off the market for a few years and its net distribution will remain more or less fixed at a humble number of households it already occupies, still, the music is good enough to draw attention to whenever possible.
Part of the reason the album is so intriguing is that it combines two pop culture influences that contain very different emotional connotations. The crisp dance beats and pulsing currents of synth noise conjure the detached up-beat quality of electro-pop, while the soft fuzz of simple, melody friendly chords – outlined by the bass and guitar – and crooning lead vocals evokes the sincere melancholy of generic alternative rock. This combination could amount to incoherency. In Amateur Love the two parts are woven together seamlessly because, among other things, the members play off each other really well. On the keyboards Phil provides lush currents of sound that evoke the ethereal joy of water in motion. Flowing melodies and gurgling rivulets of noise occur throughout the album the effect is delightful but also mysterious. This effect is reinforced in the lyrics as they dip in Scott's subconscious at will, playfully juxtaposing astute observation with surrealist imagery.
These elements are complimented by the rhythm section. Moen's drumming is technically immaculate and immensely powerful, but he avoids being overbearing with sophisticated displays of dynamic shading. He chooses his moments carefully, executes a controlled explosion of a drum fill with all the precision of a demolitions expert, and recedes quickly back into the mix. To this Brad Cook adds his rock-solid texture-thickening bass to form a cement corridor of a rhythm section that provides direction to the mysterious vibrancy contained in other parts of the music.
The way the band works together is the reason the music works so well. Listen to the attached track, check out the tracks on their Myspace page, find someone who has the album. Meanwhile I'll draw up a petition demanding they reunite. By the time you're done listening, you might want to sign it yourself.

Sumavision Denies Larcan Closing
Reports from sources close to the company indicated that late last week, the doors of both the US and Canada Larcan facilities had been closed. An e-mail apparently received from Sumavision by TV Technology claims that Larcan is not closed.
Radio magazine attempted repeatedly to reach numerous direct sources at Larcan offices both in Canada and Colorado late last week for comment when employees initially reported that the company had suddenly closed. Additional attempts were made at various times throughout this week. The Colorado office phone number is apparently dead and only voicemail could be reached at the Canada office phone number. E-Mails to company addresses have not been returned.
In addition to television products, Larcan had produced various products for FM broadcast, including one of the first successful translators for retransmitting IBOC without regenerating the data from audio. It is currently unknown what impact this news will have on current orders or support for existing products.

A pair of wooden bicycle frames recently turned up in the ol' inbox, I can't help but take the opportunity to compare and contrast the two designs.
The "Wooden Bicycle" is the first product from Flat Frame Systems, who eventually hopes to produce furniture as the company grows. Their first offering was actually inspired by a television program that Chief Designer Michael Cubbage saw as a child, featuring a futuristic motorbike that had a flat frame as opposed to tubes. (Since then, he's honed his design skills as a technical illustrator and car stylist for GM South Africa.)
The product description notes that "a wooden bike is the most comfortable bike to ride, as it is slightly flexible," and that it is at least nominally more sustainable that metal bicycles: lest we forget how plants work, the designer reminds us that "while the tree was growing it was absorbing carbon dioxide."
While the frame itself is based on a traditional diamond frame, notable features include a thicker head tube and seat tube, not to mention the flattened seat- and chainstay clusters. As with Jose Rivera's "Ice Cream" flat-pack bicycle concept, it is unclear to whether this there is a functional reason for the skeumorphic form; if not, it might as well look like this.
Indeed, considering Cubbage's focus on the aesthetic of the materials, it should come as no surprise that he goes so far to call them "furniture on wheels":
The frame is made from "Engineered Wood," which is similar to plywood, but the timber laminates are thicker and can be made from: Beech, Ash, Maple and Oak. The bike frame can also be covered with a high quality veneer (from a 1000 species of trees)...The bike frame will be "bespoke" and the timber will be unique to each customer along with its numbered and date frame and certificate.
Cubbage founded Flat Frame Systems a year ago; he is pleased to present the fruits of his labor at Tent London 2011, at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, from September 22–25.
If its (somewhat awkward) name is indication, Paulus Maringka's "Greencycle-Eco" is more ambitious in its design philosophy: it's a pre-fab, flat-pack transportation solution for Third World countries.
Taking into consideration production costs, the design pattern of Greencycle-Eco reduces the number of component parts to three different forms with two sets of identical parts being repeatedly cut out using CNC from a bamboo based panel product.
(For the record, the Flat Frame Systems bicycle frame is also CNC-cut.)
Insofar as the final product is Maringka's thesis project, there is a much deeper—200+ pages deeper, if you must know (PDF)—backstory to his flat-pack bicycle frame.
High technology has the connotation of high cost and is normally associated with sophisticated products. Greencycle-Eco explored the use of current technology to help reduce the production cost in order to make it affordable to farmers and the lower income demographic group in Third World Countries, while the strategic design thinking and model can be applied to any First World Country to achieve greater sustainability.
We've seen a similar low-cost transportation solution by Brooklyn's Bamboo Bike Studio, though the "Greencycle-Eco" differs both for its extensive background research and flat-pack aspect.
"Standard bamboo panel measuring 1200 x 2400mm can provide enough parts for eight bicycle frames which can be cut out in a short amount of time and reduce the production cost considerably."
Unlike Rivera's aluminum cutout and Cubbage's more traditional form, Maringka's design is a ways off from the traditional diamond frame: a single inverted L-shaped piece of bamboo serves as the body of the bicycle, serving as both the top tube and seat tube (there is no down tube). The bicycle has no bottom bracket drop, while extended seat- and chain-stays add a bit of versatility:
Changing the shape of the downward angled seat stays of the traditional bicycle created an opportunity to provide not only a support for the rear seat but the point of attachment needed to give the target user freedom to develop or customize their bicycle and turn this humble people mover into a form of transportation which better suits their needs and wants without compromising its functionality as a form of transportation or operational safety.
I'm not going to pretend that I've read all of Maringka's research, but he's nothing if not thorough:
Bamboo was introduced as a bicycle frame material in 1894 (English patent number 8274) and was shown at the London Stanley Show (1894) where it caused a sensation. These bamboo bicycles were advertised as being lighter and 'better than steel". Twelve models were offered by the company before it closed down in 1899.
