This the wrap up of desk week 2014. We featured seven great customer desks that show the creativity of our customers and versatility of our products.
Brittany used the IKEA desktops that are readily available at most IKEA stores. She joined four of these desktops together to make a complete wrap around desk.
Andrew's desk has a lot of character, and the construction is fairly simple. Kee Klamp fittings make the pipe base construction a snap. Andrew also used a very straightforward method for joining the boards.
Adam took a standard Simple Table Rugged rolling kit and customized it with some additional pipe and fittings to support two large monitors and some speakers. The rolling feature allows the desk to be moved out of the way so that a storage area underneath the stairs can be accessed.
Randy used a live edge slab from the Sierra mountains to build a beautiful custom desk. He used black pipe and fittings to support the desktop.
One thing that stands out on this desk is the attention to detail. The computer shelf and cord management really make this desk look great. The use of the wood paneling pulls the room together and also hides the electronic clutter.
Britton built a portable studio desk that was designed to support recording equipment. Probably the most unique feature of this desk (something we've never seen before) is the microphone support that extends from the side of the desk. This gives the mic a very stable base and keeps everything together when the desk needs to move. The arm can be extended or moved in an out by loosening and tightening the set screw.
This was a new home office desk. Linda wanted to build a reclaimed wood pipe desk with shelving on the side. Using reclaimed wood creates an industrial chic look that is difficult to match. However, the rough surfaces of reclaimed woods often make them difficult to work on. In order to make a smooth working surface Linda placed a piece of tempered glass over the top of the desktop.
Make a versatile kitchen island made of butch block and Kee Klamp fittings. This unit can easily be rolled into the center of your kitchen for serving and preparation. When it is not in use, it makes a great breakfast table.

Pipe is hot in interior design. Pipe brings clean, industrial lines to any project and the biggest question out there is how best to work pipe as a medium for interior design. Many designs use threaded gas pipe which is difficult to thread and position correctly. Kee Klamp fittings solve the pipe conundrum.
Carrot wanted to achieve a couple of things with their new desks. First they wanted the desks to look good. Having a nice looking work environment is important in any industry, but especially in the marketing industry. They were also looking for desks that would be easy to build and simple to move and store. Their search led them to Simplified Building.

Kitchen shelving is a great way to store what you need in an accessible way. But if the shelves do not adjust you're going to end up with a lot of wasted space. James King from South Carolina, built the set of shelves pictured in this article. His shelves are connected to a set of pipes attached at the floor and the ceiling. The shelves are made to to float up and down on the pipes so that they can be locked into position at any point on the pole.
Pipe is a great option when it comes to building a standing desk. The ten projects listed below have been built by our customers using pipe and Kee Klamp fittings. Be inspired by their work and build your own standing desk by selecting your own fittings, using one of our table frame kits or tapping into our project assistance.
Tables are an everyday part of our life. They support our work, our food, and just about anything else we can accumulate in our homes. The roll that tables play in meals is especially important. How great would it be if you could use a common, everyday structure like a table to memorialize a significant event.
A modern conference table doesn't have to be expensive. This pipe and glass conference table was built by one of our customers using Kee Klamp fittings. The results produced a table that was a great fit for this organization.

When it comes to the development and evolution of the desk, this particular design definitely deserves a place in the history! The recent flurry of conversation in the media about standing, sitting and working has definitely got people thinking about how to bring them all together in the perfect form.

Console tables are great for holding lamps or other small decorative items next to a wall. Bob from Morristown, New Jersey built himself a console table with some reclaimed wood and industrial pipes.
Industrial chic is a growing design trend that utilizes hard metals once reserved for technical applications to create softer, functional furniture or decorative accent pieces. One major utilization of this type of design scheme is DIY pipe beds. Constructed from galvanized pipe and lock-in-place, Kee Klamp fittings, these beds epitomize the versatility of this old meets new approach to contemporary interior design.
Music composition requires a special set of equipment that doesn't always fit on a run-of-the-mill desk. Recently a couple of our customers tackled the task of building a special desk to support their music composition equipment.
Bruce, from Georgia, set out to build a custom desk for his wife's craft room. He tapped into Kee Klamp fittings to form an open base for the desk. The openness of the structure allowed him to place other cabinets underneath the desk to help his wife store the bits and pieces needed for crafting.
This beautifully designed DIY coffee table was built by Keren, one of our customers from Texas. She brought together Kee Klamp fittings, aged metal and dark stained oak boards into a stellar combination that offers both form and function. The metal base of the coffee table is constructed with Kee Klamp pipe fittings and galvanized metal pipe.
If you are interested in trying out a standing desk, but you're not sure that you want to make the long term commitment, this is definitely the desk for you. This adjustable height desk can adjust from standard sitting desk height to standing desk height with a few simple adjustments.
Tracy, from California, used Kee Lite fittings and pipe to upcycle an existing bed frame made of reclaimed Peroba wood. Tracy wanted to enhance the bed by adding a canopy structure, mounted to the wooden frame of the bed.

Not so long ago, if you wanted a customized piece of indoor or outdoor furniture you most likely had to pay a craftsperson or company to make it for you. Although the option of DIY furniture design was always available, you were like a ship without a sail if you lacked the serious carpentry or welding skills necessary to execute the design.
Dirk from New York City designed and built this wall mounted butcher block table supported with Kee Lite pipe fittings and pipe. Here's a bit of the back story. Our kitchen already has butcher block counters, and we wanted to add another on the opposite side for our children to do their homework. We cantilevered the new butcher block counter off the hip wall separating our kitchen. Kee Lite posts keep it rock solid.
More and more people are becoming aware of the dangers of sitting all day. In response, many people are building their own standing desks. Like the solution to most problems, the answer is not always to swing 180 degrees. Sometimes the best solution is to aim for a middle road; in this case: part sitting, part standing.
If you're storing a lot of drums, its helpful to have a rack like this. The drum can sit on their side, down in between the pipes for easy storage. This snare drum rack was made using slip-on pipe fittings and pipe. Slip-on fittings, like Kee Klamp, do not require any welding or threading.

Why go for a standard curtain rod made of flimsy plastic when you can have something made out of pipe! That's what I thought when I needed to outfit my new office with curtains. Since I was already making the desk and shelves out of pipe, why not the the curtain rods as well. Pipe is easy to work with and it's very rigid.
Years ago I posted a project telling you how to build an ergonomic computer desk. That project involved setting your own desk height, a custom shape to the desktop and an articulating keyboard. I have to say, I loved that desk, so much so that I wanted to improve upon it and make it even better. Recently I renovated my entire office. I built a lot of new pieces out of wood, pipe and Kee Klamp fittings. I decided it was time to construct myself an entirely new desk, to improve upon what I had built in the past.

I'm having a problem with this 'easy fuel' system :D When I try and fill up the pump just keeps 'clicking' as if the tank is full, I've tried everything I can think of. half way in, all the way in, I've used the plastic funnel and as long as I do it slowly its fine. So i'm thinking its getting back pressure from somewhere either a flap not opening correctly or something.
any help regarding this

"I love every bit of bring married … I like the tradition of changing the name."
She said that even though she's only been slowly rolling out the name over the last few weeks, she's been known as "Mrs Parker" in Texas since the wedding in July: "It's really nice to hear. Especially in Texas. Everyone is really respectful there."

I have nothing to say about the cleanliness and location which were very good.

You remember Jesus and the blind man? Jesus spits on the man's eyes and asks him, "Can you see?" The man says, "Yes, I can see people, they look like trees walking." Jesus touches his eyes again and this time he sees clearly. (Mark 8:22-26) ssss In South Africa we needed that second touch. Lots of people could tell how they had first met Jesus and how Jesus had changed their lives and saved their souls. What they needed was the second touch that would free them of their blindness toward their fellows, brought about by 300 years of privilege—the blindness that made other human beings "walking trees" for them. We had to be given eyes in South Africa to rescue us from self-absorption, and to begin to see the hurts we were capable of. New Ears to HearSecond, we had to be given new ears to hear. To hear whom? The voice of God through the humble of the earth … especially those whom we had alienated. That is why those of us who were sent into places of poverty and oppression—such as the ghetto of District Six— were the fortunate ones. Scripture and doctrine alone are not always enough to transform people. In South Africa, the very people who were responsible for policies of oppression sat in church on Sundays and prayed: "Help us to hear with joy what you have to say to us today." It doesn't work that way. Most of us need the additive of a transforming experience, and it was the relationship with suffering black Christians that changed so many whites. The reconciling power of our faith and all its elements only broke through to us in South Africa when we began to listen to the Gospel as taught us by those we had despised. Christians changed when they met those they were alienated from. This is why Jesus says, "Please go to the least of my sisters and brothers. Listen to them. You might hear me." Hearts to RepentThird, we had to be given hearts to repent our power. Although my forbears arrived in South Africa in 1820, we regarded our cultural roots and heritage as British and were proud of it. I was an adult before I first visited England and made my pilgrimage to that heart of British culture and spirituality, Westminster Abbey. This was something I had looked forward to for so long. I walked in and I began to look around. I read one plaque and memorial after another. Somewhere, I don't know where it was, I began to weep. So many of them memorialized generals and admirals and armies—people who had killed people somewhere in the world! They were a litany of conquest and human brutality—the brutality of empire. It was there that I knew I had to repent of my heritage. I had to repent being powerful. It is such a dangerous thing. And while those days were in the past, the legacy remains. It is built into our personalities. There are many of my black friends in South Africa who will certainly confirm that the arrogance of that powerful heritage still comes through. When we look around at the might of the American empire we see today, it may be hard to believe, but all empires must sooner or later be repented of. Unfortunately that repentance usually waits until the damage has been done, the power has waned, and the glorious myths of invincibility are gone. In 1971, a plaque was placed on the wall of our church in District Six:
That was the first monument in South Africa to the victims of apartheid. It was put up, torn down by the police, and put up again. There were many things that we had to do at that time. There were people to pastor, there were statements to be made, there were protests to be engaged in…. But, looking back, there are few things I feel more right about than the action of that congregation who put that plaque on the wall and asked for God's forgiveness. Because, you see, they were people of color. It's a strange thing: There is a sense in which the very people who suffer in the world are the ones who have to teach us to repent. I invite you to get serious about that debate between flag and altar. And I invite you to search with Jesus and with those who live outside this bubble for that higher patriotism that can never be forced on anybody by an act of Congress, but which is built in the human heart. It is the patriotism that says, "I love my country. I love it so much that I am determined it will do what God wants it to do and it will be servant to the world." |

"Of all the forces of nature, I should think the wind contains the largest amount of motive power—that is, power to move things..."
So began Abraham Lincoln.
Windmills have been trying since at least the 1st century AD.
That was when Greek engineer Heron of Alexandria began using a wind-driven wheel to power a machine.
Don Quixote, as you recall, had his legendary battle with a Spanish windmill in the 17th century.
Horizontal windmills, usually more efficient than vertical ones, were in their heyday a hundred years later.
Sensible people go to Bruges for the chocolate.
But take a walk out of the city center and around the perimeter and you'll see something memorable — the four remaining windmills out of the original 25.
One of them is Sint-Janshuysmolen built by a group of Bakers in 1770.
Visit the tiny museum inside and you'll learn it still functions as an active grain mill.
Today, a lot of old windmills are tourist attractions, most of the active ones pump water and some plucky wind turbines are generating electricity.
I was pleased to read that a modest $3 million federal grant to a University of Maine research center will build windmills to harness the strong winds off Maine's coast to produce energy.
By 2012, the Global Wind Energy Council expects that wind power will grow by more than 155 percent.
Channeling the wind or tilting at windmills?
We're still trying.
Mr. P. says above:
"I was pleased to read recently that a modest $3 million federal grant to a University of Maine research center will build windmills to harness the strong winds off Maine's coast to produce energy."
Shucks, if we could just harness the incessant hot wind of politician persons,
we would have enough energy at no cost to run Washington 'til the staggering national debt is paid off.
Have a raconteur friend – the best in the business, really -- who told of a rancher who claimed he had three windmills but that there was such a little amount of wind he had to take two of them down just to get enough wind to turn one.
Come to think of it, another place windy politicians would come in handy, huh?
I've found that sometimes, instead of tilting at windmills, it's better to just grab hold, hang on and go for the ride.
I'm a big fan of wind power. Ye gods, I didn't realize what I was writing just then. BUT STILL. Check my photos for a recent upload that supports my assertion...
Rhode Island. 8armed wind mill. National heritage. will upload a picture I took, soons I find it....a "ting -o-beauty, an a joy ta behold" (direct quote)
Sweet, lasting, cherished memory: Alone, except for my loyal camera, on a far-as-the-eye-could-see West Texas ranch as the day tick-tick-ticked toward its conclusion and in the blessed and blessing stillness and the rewarding quietude of that place, capturing on film and in the mind's eye a windmill that had survived all that its long and productive life could brutally throw at it, as the sun -- its colors and shadows ever changing and yet colors and shadows that somehow seemed to remain the same -- began to bed down for the night, giving me the abundant promise of restorative rest and deep, deep peace as it did.
The view from the second floor porch at this place is splendid and minimally represented on their site.
On a beautiful May evening we were amazed to see an extremely incensed woman sputtering and fuming in disgust at the sight of a couple dozen wind generators on the other side of the lake… more than ten miles away.
She didn't get it that I didn't get it and got more outraged when I said I thought they were beautiful.
She managed to spit out that I would live to regret ignoring her.
"I suppose," I said, "that after that first major toxic wind spill, I'll look pretty foolish."
Then I bailed… it's a long way down from that porch.

I'm under the influence of a goodly amount of some of Kentucky's finest, in particular, Buffalo Trace. A fine bourbon made only a few short miles from my current location. So, that is why I've chosen to ignore today's topic and chime in with my own brand of enlightenment. I would say something more profound right now but damned if I can think of anything. At least the spelling and punctuation are close...
Kentucky can't thank you enough for the Rat Pack link! What a great way to start the day!!
And now...for something completely different...I really should learn to stop at three high balls...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAqyBXFGcUY
It may have been posted here before but here goes...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsEkR5WFlw0
Windmills seem so wonderful. They are simple and in some places wind is pretty constant. The down side, of course, is what it does to birds. The large windmills tend to have a pile of dead birds at their base. The birds can't figure out what a windmill is and fly right in ("through") them. This has been our season of WEATHER and so forth. We had a terrible wind strom on July third, Hurricane Irene, an earthquake and aftershocks, and now, the "remnants" of Tropical Storm Lee. We have had at least a half a foot of rain here in Arlington, and parts of southern Fairfax County have had 12-15 inches of rain. Trees have toppled from being washed out, and there are large chunks of road washed out here and there, And there today will be another day of rain. At times the rain is incredibly hard, as bad as a monsoon in Asia. And here's a treat from YouTube of a man tubing down Rt. 29 in Fairfax:
And here's one of flooding in Reston: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwfjvYK-BGU
All great achievements begin with humans observing some aspect of nature and creatively utilizing that information for our use and pleasure. Wind is no exception.
On the subject of the power of wind... This little fella is heading off into the chilly
katabatic breezes of Tasmania's Central Highlands for a couple of weeks to
embrace the opportunity to utilise one of the side benefits of the other pure
form of energy - Hydro Power. With a fair wind behind me I'll be wading in the
pristine waters of Tasmania's Great Lake hunting trout.
So two weeks in the winds of the Tasmanian Central Highlands followed by 3 weeks on
the Island Of Sumba. (Come on now, tell me know where Sumba is - without going
to Google of course).
All in all I'll not be blowing any chill winds here for the next 5 or 6 weeks!
Adieu my new-found friends. :)
Ta ta, Toffee not Taffy~ Hope you have a great time - Sumba ... never heard of it.
The Danish Vestas we are able to see every (clear) day across the lake and even unclear days thirty-five miles south on the interstate are all perched atop the western Niagara Escarpment a prominent, rock ridge and suitable platform on which to build them with good exposure to the winds.
They are at two hundred and sixty odd feet in height, just immense. The turbine itself sitting atop the standard is larger than a school bus and the blades of which there are three, are one hundred forty-eight feet long.
A college friend related that they were the salvation of his parent's land: the town was fixing to tax their acreage at highest value which would be residential use and that would have meant that the tax bill would have risen exponentially and forced them to sell.
They agreed to two wind turbines which provide a significant yearly income and the presence of which have downgraded the value of the land for home building.
A win win depending on how you feel about living near those behemoths.
We've all heard of this guy and… that's about it for Tasmania.
The wind turbines are one of the most attractive features of driving through Scranton, PA. Others have mentioned the birds having trouble with the blades - I wonder what are the odds of bird-blade collisions?
As for wind, I will be channeling Isles this weekend - off to a regatta with my dad and brother. It will be one of the only times we've ever raced on the same boat which will make for some rather interesting strategy 'discussions.' We'll be dancing to Maalox, the Wind God, to provide....
A wild ride through the links today...Kentucky, Lynn, and of course, the Alpha, Stoney....and in between trips to Sumba (haven't googled yet)with a drop off for cuppa with Hazel, its a good thing the topics is windmills because thats about where my brain is right now.
I lived in the Netherlands for a year and never tired of seeing and observing windmills. Everyday, many times a day my heart skipped a beat when coming upon one. Equally when driving to Colorado with my son the fields of wind turbines were spectacularly beautiful and made me believe in the future more than ever.
Admittedly Don Quixote is my mentor, but what better target than a windmill?
Only barely on topic, if you have not seen it, The Mighty Wind is a hilarious movie, good for a laugh.
This is a somber weekend and its hard not to feel guilty having fun and feeling the wind in my hair. Our family and the world lost someone very close to us on the 102nd floor of the north tower and it is really unbearable to watch it on tv, at the same time in the words of Arthur Miller "Attention must be paid." I suppose I am jumping the gun on the topic here, but its as if it were yesterday not 10 years ago so I thank you all for the diversions t his morning. Joshua Michael Piver, an almost perfect young man. As they all are....
Shandonista ~
Replace the belaying pins with long necks and you're good to go. Have fun.
And, with that in mind: ChefDeb ~
When a friend of ours died, Guest and I were instructed: "When you get done blubbering, go have chili dogs, pints of Spotted Cow and laugh about the time I couldn't find my glasses or hat."
He'd been wearing both and we did as instructed the point being that the best tribute to fallen friends and loved ones is to live on and laugh without guilt.
STONEY thank you and you are absolutely correct! And I was talking to my daughter on the phone the other day and while doing so I was looking everywhere for where I put my phone!
Safe journeys to the two travlers. May the wind be behind your back.
I just added the picture of my daughter's playhouse-windmill that their papa built for them. It was two floors with a nice staircase even I could go up ever so carefully. Over the years it was a place of great enjoyment for the girls and their friends. As I noted the blades did not move, a caution I demanded so no one would decide to go for a swing out one of the windows all of which opened.
The picture along with others of the girls inside was in a local paper around 1975.
May I be the Devil's advocate? All this talk of wind, and not one mention of Beano
The Horse Heaven Hills of Washington State bristle with the new era of windmills. The hills rise on the north side of the Columbia River creating a gorge which funnels wind from the Pacific Ocean at speeds which can exceed 100 miles an hour. The power of nature generating power to run our world. The price? For our area it is the birds (something I think could be addressed with a cage around the blades) and the introduction of the Hobo Spider, a nasty little creature. During the day they look like giant white sunflowers, and at night they blink like red Fireflies.
more on the honor rollThanks to the privelege of going off subject, I humbly raise my hand to my hat to salute Marine Sergeant Dakota Meyer who will be awartded the Medal of Honor next week. His story is too long to tell here but its worth finding and reading.
Semper Fi and! Anchors Aweigh to all who serve, have served and will serve in any capacity, with special thanks to those who keep the home fires burning.
Let's get our defintions right here, a windmill is a thing that mills. Flour and suchlike. A turbine is a wind-powered thing that makes electricity. As RY mentioned. certain foods can turn us into wind machines. There was a man who made a living in the old music halls of London by farting tunes as a stage act. Back the day when I baked my own bread, I would drive miles (it was a fun, bendy drive) to a lady who kept a windmill, to buy a sack of wholemeal flour. Great if the day was blowing and the mill was going, cracking and grinding newly harvested grains. Lovely aroma.
The girls did consider themselves very lucky, ChefDeb, but they loved to share the windmill with all their friends.
Roadyatch, the "Dutch" came when they got old enough to sneak out to it late at night. It was getting a bit delapidated by then.
What was interesting, Carol, is it became a landmark in this little village for a while, and we have had people who moved away returning and asking where the windmill is. Usually they are disappointed that it had to be torn down. So it is sort of a memory for many. We're really glad we have the newspaper article and some nice pictures.
KC - your 5:22 am -- ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - The King, be still my heart All of the links, the Rat Pack, all of them, were wonderful - but Elvis....,mmmmmmmm. Thank You!
Lotlot~ Re: yuor 1:07 AM post...did you respect it the next morning?

Blessings Upon You All .......
Ivan, my friend~ I can't come up with anything better to say than the same back to you! Your blessing, as always, is appreciated and looked forward to.
Blessings back to you, Ivan. Goodness, is it Friday nite already again?
Been thinking about windmills. Co-incidence, there was a programme on TV today about windmills that have been converted to dwelling houses. How cool is that? Round rooms with a spiral staircase up the middle. I'm not a sailor, but I was told that you have to trim the sails of a windmill to the wind, just as you would a yacht. A building that wants to be a ship. Being inside a working windmill is an exciting experience. The structure is huge old timbers, interlocking cogs made from wood or metal, ropes and pulleys. The whole thing creaks and groans like an athritic old man and the mill stones grumble like an old lady on her soapbox about "young people today." It feels like a living, breathing creature. It's nearly the end of the holiday season here but the shops still have brightly coloured "windmills" to amuse kiddies. And little buckets and spades for making sancastles on the beach. I feel a bit sad when they are all put away for next year.
OH BEBE! Parkerhouse roll?!! You are so bebe, there is only one bebe, and no one is more bebe than you. How you can come home from a day at school and come up with that I do not know.
It must be a bebe thing. ;)
I'm a day late and a dollar short with this but I'm never far away, just slow..
Thank you IVAN! As always I hope the same for you and yours. pbb
PARK.......................I calls em' as I sees em' baby! How did you know I needed a PARK wink tonight?????????? I am smiling & it's not just the wine...................thank you...............................
IVAN...............thank you and I send them back your way!
After all is said and done and I've thought about it all day.......Lotlot's opening salvo says it all.
Okay I tried not to do it, but my grandfather, Henry N. Boucher, used to say on a um, regular basis...Let your wind go free wherever you be, cause holding mine in is what killed me."
Tommy T, are you in Geneva for Festival on the Vine. If so, check out the All Chocolate Kitchen were the Master Desert Chef owner, Alaine Roby, will be doing wine pairings. They make the best gellato i've ever enjoyed.
You can't produce cement or coral reefs with seawater and wind mills.
Just a short side track to wind turbines......
We have about thirty+ turbines south of town and i appreciate the idea of harnessing the power of the wind. They remind me of airplane propellers and when you see a row of them spanning the horizon, like giant guardians of the corn and bean fields..... They offer a graceful and almost delicate image of power...... Especially when compared to the giant electric power towers and the legacy of telephone polls that still dominate the skyline.

Ideally, if each of the 28 service centres we visited conducted a thorough service and safety check as requested, all the faults we'd placed in the cars would have been identified and addressed. Instead, we found that 25 of the 28 service centres (89%) missed at least one fault:
So, most of the service centres we visited didn't conduct a thorough service. The underinflated spare tyre was the most commonly missed problem, which could have turned into a disaster on our driver's impending interstate trip. The better news was that most discovered the low brake fluid level in the reservoir. The following pages show our scorecards for each service centre: Ford, Holden, Subaru and Toyota. Overall, the Toyota service centres performed best, missing only eight out of 28 faults.
It's bad enough to charge for a necessary service not provided — but what about providing and charging for work and repairs that aren't necessary? It's the stuff of hidden cameras and current affairs TV shows. Happily, this wasn't the norm in our shadow shop, involving just six of the 28 centres. Some of the recommended work — and this is giving the mechanics the benefit of the doubt — could have been considered overly cautious rather than an attempt to squeeze extra money out of our shopper. That said, it's interesting that one centre was apparently so busy noting $306 worth of non-existent faults and unnecessary repairs, it didn't find any of the faults we planted.
Our mechanic noted all the cars except the Holden had pre-existing conditions, mainly tyre and brake wear. They were all issues that should have been addressed before a long driving trip, though again, most service centres didn't give any warning about or advice on these problems.
For the companies we looked at, the parent company rarely has direct control over the service centres. Almost all centres are independently owned, operating similarly to a franchise. However, they're supposed to meet certain obligations to the parent company, including some form of agreement to adhere to a code of standards. Mechanics and technicians receive initial training and information on model updates from the company, as well as ongoing training. Ford, Holden and Subaru said they'd address the problems we raised with their service centres.

A songbird is a bird belonging to the clade Passeri of the perching birds (Passeriformes). Another name that is sometimes seen as scientific or vernacular name is Oscines, from Latin oscen, "a songbird". This group contains some 4,000 species found all over the world, in which the vocal organ typically is developed in such a way as to produce a diverse and elaborate bird song.
Songbirds form one of the two major lineages of extant perching birds, the other being the Tyranni which are most diverse in the Neotropics and absent from many parts of the world. These have a simpler syrinx musculature, and while their vocalizations are often just as complex and striking as those of songbirds, they are altogether more mechanical sounding. There is a third perching bird lineage, the Acanthisitti from New Zealand, of which only two species remain alive today.[1]
There is evidence to suggest that songbirds evolved 50 million years ago in the part of Gondwana that later became Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and Antarctica, before spreading around the world.[2]
The song in this clade is essentially territorial in that it communicates the identity and whereabouts of an individual to other birds and also signals sexual intentions. Sexual selection among songbirds is highly based on mimetic vocalization. Female preference has shown in some populations to be based on the extent of a male's song repertoire. The larger a male's repertoire, the more females a male individual attracts.[3] It is not to be confused with bird calls which are used for alarms and contact and are especially important in birds that feed or migrate in flocks. While almost all living birds give calls of some sort, well-developed songs are only given by a few lineages outside the songbirds.
Other birds (especially non-passeriforms) sometimes have songs to attract mates or hold territory, but these are usually simple and repetitive, lacking the variety of many oscine songs. The monotonous repetition of the common cuckoo or little crake can be contrasted with the variety of a nightingale or marsh warbler. On the other hand, although many songbirds have songs which are pleasant to the human ear, this is not invariably the case. Many members of the crow family (Corvidae) communicate with croaks or screeches which sound harsh to humans. Even these, however, have a song of sorts, a softer twitter which is given between courting partners. And even though some parrots (which are not songbirds) can be taught to repeat human speech, vocal mimicry among birds is almost completely restricted to songbirds, some of which (such as the lyrebirds or the aptly-named mockingbirds) excel in imitating the sounds of other birds or even environmental noises.
Song repertoire and courtship[edit]
Sexual selection can be broken down into several different studies regarding different aspects of a bird's song. As a result song can vary even within a single species. Many believe that song repertoire and cognition have a direct relationship. However, a study published in 2013 has shown that all cognitive ability may not be directly related to the song repertoire of a songbird. Specifically, spatial learning is said to have an inverse relationship with song repertoire. So for example, this would be an individual who does not migrate as far as others in the species, but has a better song repertoire. This suggests an evolutionary trade-off between possible alleles. With natural selection choosing traits best fit for reproductive success there could be a trade off in either direction depending on which trait would produce a higher fitness at that time period. [4]
Song repertoire can be attributed to male songbirds as it is one of the main mechanisms of courtship. Song repertoires differ from male individual to male individual and species to species. Some species may typically have large repertoires while others may have significantly smaller ones. Mate choice in female songbirds is a significant realm of study as song abilities are continuously evolving. Currently there have been numerous studies involving songbird repertoires, unfortunately, there has yet been concrete evidence to confirm that every songbird species prefers larger repertoires. A conclusion can be made that it can vary between specific species on whether a larger repertoire is connected to better fitness. With this conclusion, it can be inferred that evolution via natural selection, or sexual selection, favors the ability to retain larger repertoires for these certain species as it leads to higher reproductive success.[3] During times of courtship, it is said that male songbirds increase their repertoire by mimicking other species songs. The better the mimicking ability, retaining ability, and the quantity of other species mimicked has been proven to have a positive relationship with mating success. Female preferences cause the constant improvement of accuracy and presentation of the copied songs.[5]
Taxonomy and systematics[edit]
This section is outdated. (May 2012) |
Under the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy this suborder is divided into two "parvorders", Corvida and Passerida (standard taxonomic practice would rank these as infraorders). The families of suborder Passeri are listed below as being in either Corvida or Passerida.
However, this treatment has since turned out to be very much in error. In reality, there are three major superfamilies (though not exactly corresponding to the Sibley-Ahlquist arrangement) of Passerida, in addition to some minor lineages thereof. The "Corvida" are fictional, an artefact of the phenetic methodology. Instead the bulk of these form the large superfamily Corvoidea and the smaller Meliphagoidea, and there are a number of small basal groups.

Smart Marriage Advice from 8 Rock-Solid Couples
5 Simple Tricks for a Better Relationship
The five questions you hadn't thought of asking -- but should when selecting your wedding photographer.1. Will you be the one photographing my wedding? If you're at a studio where there's more than one shutterbug, make sure the one you've clicked with is the same one who will be at your wedding. And yes-get it in writing.2. Can I see some recent clients' wedding albums? Anyone can show you their personal "best of" book-ask to see at least one example of an actual album he or she has put together so that you can get a feel for how they tell the story of the day. Ask yourselves what you've learned about the couples by looking at their albums. Did you get a sense of their personal style and what mattered most to them? Was a mood set?3. Can I talk to one of your previous clients? Once you've got a photographer you're 99-percent sure about, seal the deal by talking to a bride and groom whose wedding he or she recently shot. If they can't (or won't) give you a name, that's a definite red light.4. What's your backup plan? If your photographer gets food poisoning after someone else's reception dinner, who's going to be the backup? If the photographer runs into a case of those proverbial technical difficulties, what backup equipment will he or she have on hand? Troubleshooting now will save you a lot of heartache later.5. What do you love most about shooting weddings? Get right to the heart of it all -- a photographer who's passionate about his or her work can be downright inspiring.
Our insider's guide to formal wedding shots will help keep you (and your wedding photographer) focused.
Photo: Denis Reggie
Quick -- you haven't much time to capture all the people, feelings, and hard work that have gone into your wedding. How are you going to do it? The most popular picture style today is photojournalism, which objectively documents each nuance, like the mother of the bride's reaction to seeing the wedding dress or clasped hands. While there's no doubt that we're huge fans of the style (we've been urging couples in this direction for years!), it's critical to bear in mind the basics too. To get a perfectly balanced album, you need to think about formals as well. Read on for the essential info.
The shorter the formal sessions can be kept, the fresher the photos.
The good news is that the shot list has gone way down. Go for a combination of formal and unconventional, with about 30 minutes of formals. According to Reggie, there are five must-take shots for any formal snap session: the bride and groom alone, followed by the couple with their attendants, the couple with their parents, the couple with the bride's immediate family, and the couple with the groom's immediate family. Reggie says he's more likely to get solo shots of the bride and groom while they get ready, and grab most of the other key combos on the fly.If you want shots of other groupings, by all means add them to your list, though experts point out that the shorter the sessions can be kept, the fresher the photos.
Another way to maximize the moments spent taking your formal photos is to hire a second photographer to shoot behind-the-scenes pictures. These photo outtakes will add another dimension to your album. Grandma pinching the little flower girl's cheek or a bridesmaid grabbing the bride's hand to get a closer look at the ring (shot in black-and-white with no flash) are some of Reggie's favorite examples.
Your photographer will undoubtedly have plenty of tricks in his camera bag for painlessly helping everyone get the shots you need-no one wants to be the bridezilla screaming to get everyone to be quiet and smiling nicely.
Another trick of the trade: Getting people laughing. If there's a comedian in the group, point out that person to the photographer. When everyone's laughing and reacting to something humorous, it creates a more natural feeling to the pictures.
Digital can be another option here-though some couples find the digital revolution a bit scary, think of it this way: It enables your photographer to quickly spot the bridesmaid who had her eyes closed or pick another spot because the light is off. Reggie now actually shoots exclusively with digital (at a very high resolution, mind you-no pro would be caught dead using a standard digital camera).
Other innovative options include the use of infrared film or even slide film-processing slides as if they were negatives (a technique called cross processing) creates super-saturated colors. You can ask your photographer for examples of these techniques to determine beforehand which ones you'd like. On the day of your wedding, you might suggest that your photographer do most of the traditional shots with traditional film and then go for a different effect. Or many of these techniques can be produced digitally after the event. Take a little communication, add a shot of knowledge, and watch your wonderful album develop.

What's All This Racket? / Mirada Fija
Part of a series on Rage Comics. [View Related Entries]
What's All This Racket? (a.k.a "Fat Son" and "Mirada Fija" on Spain and Latin America) is a series of multi-pane comics depicting various dialogues between an Otaku-type character and his scornful father. The comic typically begins with the father entering his son's room to see what he's up to and ends with the father reacting disappointedly to his son's response. Though speculative, "What's All This Racket, Son" is most likely a spin-off series inspired by the Son, I am disappoint comics.
The 4-pane comic series was conceived on 4chan's /a/ board around April 14th, 2009. One of the earliest archived thread of one of the comics in the series can be found on the Green-Oval archive[1]. It spread throughout various forums and imageboards circa early 2009, with the earliest known non-4chan thread on Grand Holy Empire of Batta forum[2] dating back to April 18th, 2009. The original comic illustrates a rather entertaining conversation about Japanese animes between the father and the son:
The comics have since been reposted on 4chan's topical imageboards like /a/ (anime board)[2] and /v/ (video game board)[3], videogame-related forums[4], anime communities[5] and other Otaku strongholds on the web in the style of an edited exploitable. The blank template has spawned dozens of derivative artworks exploring a wide range of subject matters through father-and-son dialogue. The phrase "what's all this racket, son?" has been also used in forum discussions as a standalone expression to indicate one's annoyance against another member in the thread.
The final panel of the father's staring face is frequently used in rage comics, and is referred to as "stare" in the f7u12 subreddit[7] and as "Mirada Fija" in the spaniard infamous site Cuánto Cabrón [8]
The face has been also widely used as a reaction face in comment threads, oftentimes to express concerns or displeasure towards another user's behaviors or remarks. For example in Reddit's AdviceAnimals section, typing the code [stare] into the text field generates the dad's reaction face. Its usage can be comparable to Stare Dad or Son, I am disappoint reaction faces.

One hundred drug-using and 50 non-drug-using female prostitutes working in the Manchester area were interviewed about their working practices, drug use, levels of risk behaviours for HIV with clients and other sexual partners, and use of primary health care and specialist drug services. Results indicated high levels of sexual and drug risk behaviours among a proportion of women, particularly younger street-level drug users. Contact with health care providers and drug services by this group was sporadic and low. The value of developing health care and HIV prevention initiatives targeted at drug-using female prostitutes is discussed, together with the challenges this poses for primary health care providers, genitourinary medicine and specialist drugs services.
