How to make your watercolors pop with pastels
Watercolor paintings can sometimes lack a bit of contrast, a great way to add a bit of contrast and texture is to outline some elements with pastels. Watercolor and pastels are great medium to mix because they both are very mat. This is a technique that can be used by watercolorists but also

Hello. I bought a 09 Toyota Tacoma. Here are my pros and cons:
Pros: Good build quality, fun off-road, backup camera on the autodim mirror is useful, good resale value.
Cons: No outside heated mirrors, auto transmission tends to go into the wrong gear on downhill but it doesn't seem to affect anything. Could have used better stock tires.

Anomaly Triggers Self-Destruct For SpaceX Falcon 9 Test Flight 113
from the fly-up-go-boom dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Actually, yes, I'd consider that a major display of responsibility. The very last thing I'd want a rocket to do when it goes out of control is to choose its own place to go kaboom. And yes, even for a manned rocket.
This really moves SpaceX up in my estimation as well. Until now, I pictured private space flight as focusing only on making profits, not sacrificing dollars in order to protect people around them. Maybe the privatization of space flight has a future after all!
This was a modified Falcon 9 first stage with only 3 engines and no second stage, put together as a testbed for developing the landing capabilities. It launches off support blocks on a concrete foundation instead of a full launch pad, does various maneuvers, and lands on bare concrete right next to the launch site.
It wasn't an orbital launch of a standard vehicle, it was a test flight with heavily modified experimental hardware and software operating under rather unusual conditions, so it really shouldn't impact other things like their attempts to compete for military launches...the actual Falcon 9 launches have actually all gone without losing a single vehicle, though there have been some minor failures and one somewhat exciting unplanned demonstration of the engine-out capability. Attempting to hold tests to the same standards as launches would be quite foolish, deterring companies from performing those tests...definitely not the desired outcome.
Nobody's gonna believe that computers are intelligent until they start coming in late and lying about it.

Building home - Builder can't supply Bluestar - other options are
My builder cannot supply Bluestar products which I had my heart set on (36" 6-burner). So I need to select from the brands they can get. Any opinions on a 6 burner from one of these brands that the builder has access to?
GE Cafe
GE Monogram
GE Profile
I don't necessarily need gas although my wife likes the look of it over electric smooth tops. I would consider induction and was looking at the Bosch 800 series 36". Any other recommendations from the brands above on induction units?
Thanks in advance.
You have a signed contract with the builder stating you are getting all your appliances through them?
Otherwise I don't know why you can't come to an arrangement on an installation fee and get the Bluestar you want somewhere else.
The best rangetop from that list is Thermador and the best ovens are from Wolf.
The best induction cooktop is from Thermador too. The 36" units range from $3k to $5k for the zoneless. But even the least expensive unit gives you a 4.6kw power hob. vs the 2.8 kw power hob on the Bosch induction unit.
I've been back and forth with the builder. Any appliance which has to be installed prior to a CO being issued needs to be spec'd by them. As well, as this is a gas unit, the building inspector will not sign off on the inspection unless something is connected to the gas line. I asked if they could put in a basic unit and then we could come in after the close and install the BS. They hesitated as the granite and cabinets have to be built to the size of the rangetop and I know there would be issues if we went with a unit with different specs from the BS and then installed the BS after close. I'm pissed but there is little I can do. The builder is very willing to work with us in certain aspects of constructions but it seems as far as the rangetop it's a no go. We are buying our own fridge and bringing that in after close as that is not required for the CO.
Someone once told me that they got a CO with just a microwave. Apparently where they were you just needed a cooking source.
As far as the gas line, I'm not sure you're right about needing something connected. We've got two fireplaces with gas lines run to them but stubbed off and not being used and we had no issues with a CO.
Here is a link.

TORONTO, Oct 22 (Reuters) – Canadian National Railway Co
, the focus of fresh scrutiny after one of its trains
derailed and caught fire last weekend, reported a bigger
third-quarter profit and record revenue on Tuesday, as it
announced a two-for-one stock split and share buyback plan.
The country's largest rail operator, which also maintained
its 2013 profit forecast, said revenue was lifted by higher
freight volumes due to strong energy markets, market share gains
and a North American economic recovery.
Train carrying oil, liquid petroleum gas derails in Alberta

Bombardier said CDB had put in a conditional order for five CS100 and 10 of the larger CS300 in July 2012, although at the time it did not identify the buyer. CDB optioned another five CS100 and 10 CS300 planes, Bombardier said on Friday.

refurbishing its aging facilities instead, the Canadian

not be part of Ontario's formal review of its long-term energy
plan, which will be finalized before the end of the year.

Analysis: Lululemon's next challenge: overseas growth
TORONTO (Reuters) – In a narrow, bustling street in Hong Kong's trendy Soho district, a small Lululemon Athletica Inc (LULU.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) test boutique is helping to lay the groundwork for what the premium yogawear maker sees as a promising avenue for growth.
The Canadian retailer is casting an eye on international markets even as it grapples with the demands of finding a new chief executive, mending a tarnished image after an embarrassing recall of overly sheer pants and pursuing expansion in the United States.

outselling all its competitors.
September auto sales beat the previous record by a sizable

year climbed 3.5 percent to 1,350,756, also a record.

Help with ID of odd 'pellet's in bird feeder.
Hi gang,
For you birdy folks on this forum, I'm hoping you can help. I've googled this to death and am getting no where.
I'll try to post a picture soon as I can.
For the past 3 weeks I have found what I believe are regurgitated or 'spit out' wads of crushed up sunflower seed shells in one of my feeders. Sort of like an owl pellet I guess. But these are 1/2" to 3/4" long and ~1/4" wide, oblong or crescent shaped. Appears to be undigested, chewed up shells only, dry. Doesn't look like feces. And they only show up at night. Feeder is cleaned each am, and none of these pellets show up during the day after repeated use by blue jays, finches, grosbeaks, and ocassionally squirrels and chipmunks. But each morning there are 20 to 40 of these pellets mostly deposited in the corners.
Feeder is a platform with a roof over it, attached to the deck railing. Black oil sunflower seeds only.
Any idea what bird or critter is leaving them?
Wow jeanner, just did a mini search on flying squirrels - didn't know we even had them here. They are nocturnal, diet is right, I didn't come up with anything about them spitting out wads of hulls while feeding, but I'll look more tomorrow.
Sandy, the chipmunks I've seen were around in the daytime (of course!) and they tank up at the feeder until their cheeks are stuffed and then run off. They don't eat at the feeder.
More thoughts?
Since I am somewhat nocturnal (see my posting name) I often get to see animals the neighbors never see. The flying squirrel has the most beautiful colors. Don't let anyone tell you that beige tones are bland. Chipmunks around here seem to start their food gathering just before dawn and if undisturbed, will fill their bellies before stuffing their cheeks. Most of the time they just leave a litter of shells behind but some eat and store the hulls in their cheeks at the same time. I haven't seen them packing it into pellets though. That was at best, a guess. Are all owls strictly carnivores? Sandy
I did a search on "regurgitate pellets" and found a couple of interesting comments. A Birders World magazine had an article that says
"Owls are not the only birds that produce pellets. So do all other raptors, some gulls and other fish-eating birds, and shrikes. Even songbirds will regurgitate pellets that contain indigestible hard seed and plant parts and the exoskeletons of insects."
Another source says that members of the corvidae family regurgitate indigestable stuff as pellets that are shaped like the ones you describe. That would mean a raven or crow is likely to be visiting you in the early morning hours. Sandy
I'm not aware of flying squirrels doing the regurgitation thing, but they will DEFINITELY visit your feeders at night, and are far more common than many folks know.
I had no idea I had them here until I was working on my first pond at night several summers ago and noticed motion at one of my suet feeders... was a couple of flying squirrels... eventually counted three of them, and they were like they were almost tame, because they're not used to humans being around, so they have little fear. I got out my camcorder and got some decent video of them.
A local naturalist said they'll also raid bluebird houses and eat the eggs, young, and possibly the adults, so if you're losing your bluebirds or other small birds you have houses for each summer, flying squirrels could ALSO be part of that, but please don't go killing the flying squirrels... they're just TOO COOL.
Happy bird-and-squirrel viewing!
Hmm, more good info to digest (pun intended). Thanks for the research, I think you like a good mystery too! I'll try to post pix tomorrow after work. I've pretty much ruled out larger raptors due the size of the feeder 12"x12" with a roof 10" above the platform.
I've also learned that mice and rats do not vomit or regurgitate (neither do horses), but I can't find out if they sort of chew the seeds up, swallow the seed and spit out hulls, in a wad so to speak.
By the way, these 'wads' or 'pellets' appear to be held together with saliva (I assume) kind of loosely. If you carry them around in a baggie and show them to a bunch of people they disintegrate into ...just chewed up sunflower seed shells.
You're just TOO COOL, Sarah... you carry that stuff around in baggies and show it to people.
Dang, you sound like ME, or somethin'!
If you have a local nature center, see if they have anybody there who does microanalysis, and have them take a look at a wad under the microscope... might just answer your questions.
The chemical used to make poison bait for mice and rats is a blood thinner called Heparin. Essentially, since they cannot vomit they get an overdose and bleed to death internally. The treatment for a person or pet that ingests Heparin is Vitamin K. If you use the baits be very careful and do not handle it with bare hands. Didn't know that about horses. Interesting. Sandy
interesting sandy. i knew the vit k treatment but i didn't realize it was heparin!
which leads me to my mystery, though i never would use poison bait. it is all this talk of rats and mice. someone is trying to move into my romeo's sleeping box in the shed. but my reason for posting is quite hilarious- he went to investigate why my 15 some pound bag of composted manure was moving. i am standing at the back door and hear "SQUEEK!" i wish i saw it, but alas i had only my tshirt and undies on and it was still daylight. hey, i work midnights, ok? :) i had a mental picture of it jumping in the air and squeaking at the same time.
the big oaf ran out of the shed, belly to the ground, and wanted back in the house. that surprised me. my old man at romeo's age would have had his whiskers twitching in anticipation.
so, my mystery continues....though maybe in the process we have discouraged our visitor. i also took the top off his sleeping box to make it less inviting. i have found no rear projectiles. i am also considering leaving the feeders empty for awhile. i would hate to do that.
just sharing a story. i didn't want to start a thread just for it. it almost applies.
The 15 lb bag was moving? Heehee... the poor kitty. It must have gotten the fright of its life.
When I was planting something last spring next to the bird bath, and I leaned on the ground with one hand to firm up the soil with the other, the ground moved. It was a very strange feeling. I dug after it but I wasn't fast enough... Nothing squeeked though.
There is a chipmunk-sized hole right there in the flower bed now.
:) Mary
hi mary. yes, it was moving...my theory is this "rat" was tugging on the other end trying to tear off a piece. there was a large piece already torn off in romeo's snuggle box. oph, that was after i put on some shorts :)
dh asked if it was a possum. i said, possums don't squeak. and, it was louder than any mouse.
oops, guess i should have started a "things that move that shouldn't thread." maybe i will, i have another story.
Mystery solved. Believe or not, live trapped a chipmunk last night! And there were 'cuds' in there as proof too. I guess he was done running off with the seeds and was just eating now.
Now I know it's not a rat or something he's free to do as he pleases. Thanks gang!
Well mystery now REALLY solved. I really like the idea of flying squirrels, but the chipmink theory has been under debate around here for some time, mostly because the little buggers seem to be hibernating now, but the spit out blobs of hulls were still showing up nightly.
Low and behold, flipped on the deck lights the other night and there was the cutest, scared out of it's wits, oppossum ever! I have never seen a 'possum in my life. Had no idea we had them here. My neighbor STROKED its fur while it sat rigid in the bird feeder!
Got GREAT pix (on someone else's camera - will post as soon as I can :)

Another Million Sign Up for Health Care
The Obama Administration recently announced that one million more Americans enrolled in Obamacare in January. This makes a total of 3.3 million since its launch in October. While this is good news for the White House, it's doubted that they will reach their goal of 7 million sign-ups by the end of March, the Associated Press wrote. — Kellee Terrell (@kelleent)

I'm going to brew a 3.5 gallon batch of strong old ale. I'll use my regular 6-gallon bucket for primary, which I figure shouldn't be a problem. However, if I use a 5 gallon carboy for secondary, will there be too much oxygen at the top? Should I just leave it in primary for a month?
I think you will be fine. I have made small batches before and didn't have any issues.

Chinese Hanzi Characters in 1801
On 30 July 1801 the snow Pacific Trader bound for Canton floundered in the Pacific Ocean when the vessel took on water in the midst of a violent two-day gale. The winds tore the sails and mangled the rigging so terribly that the ship and its small crew limped into safe harbor at Macao on 23 August 1801. Proprietors William and Sullivan Dorr in Canton received more than ten letters from Captain Samuel Edes aboard the Pacific Trade in the subsequent month while the ship sheltered and was repaired in Macao. These letters are contained in the Samuel Barrett Edes papers held at the MHS.
On 27 September 1801 Captain Edes writes to inform the Dorrs of the progress of ship repairs and the condition of the cargo. However, it is the verso page of the letter that truly captures my imagination. The verso functioned as the envelope, containing the address information of the intended recipient, Sullivan Dorr. Far more interesting than the address is the beautiful example of Chinese Hanzi characters composed on the verso.
I imagine that the Hanzi message reveals directions due to its location close to the address, just near the seal. However, a larger question looms in my mind. Who wrote this inscription? The small crew of the Pacific Trader hailed from Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, Ireland, St. Croix, Guadeloupe, and Bengal according to a crew list in the Samuel Barrett Edes papers. None of these men were native to China or surrounding countries that utilized Hanzi script. Although some crewmen may have learned the spoken language, the beautiful and careful script of the Hanzi suggests to me that a native writer composed the message.
Are you familiar with 19th century Chinese Hanzi script? Can you read this inscription? We would love to hear from you!

Stayed with 'owners' of Playa del Sol. They were told when they checked in that it was under new owners. The hotel insisted that they meet the next morning with a representative from the new company 'Bel Air'. First thing they were told was that they are no longer an owner of anything on the property. Quite a rude person.... Bruce. Then received a high pressure sales pitch to reinvest in order to maintain their ownership.
The main restaurant is very nice, food was very good and reasonably priced. There is a lovely outdoor patio dining area next to the beach. There is another 'Japanese' restaurant... we should have known better than to try a Japanese restaurant in Mexico. Asked for hot tea and got a tall glass of sugared ice tea. Maki (they spell it Maky) was very good and fresh,. Tempura was overcooked and not panko covered. Pretty expensive for what you get.

As far as can understand you have it running FROM ram (a /system ramdisk) rather than from nand.
I'm sure some things will go quicker, but it'll cost ~120Mb RAM (with JJ) so is it worth it? Dunno? Installed apps, dalvik-cache, app-data are still on NAND.
And so its only any 'on the fly' loading of system modules that would be speeded up.
Does much of that go on (with our big ram)? And for what areas of the device's operation?
However as I believe someone mentioned you could take this another step and put the entire system on the sd-card and load it into RAM at boot time and free up most of the NAND for data.

Our campsite.
The Jinshanling Great Wall was first built in the sixth century during the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589). Along it are 67 watchtowers, all in different styles, at average intervals of 150 meters.
During the Ming Dynasty, General Qi Jiguang improved the structure of the Jinshanling Great Wall by making it higher and denser and by building double walls at strategic sections. Its gentle gradient makes Jinshanling a vulnerable spot, easy to attack but difficult to defend. At the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall, however, the walls are more solid, and the watchtowers taller, and more concentrated. Viewed from a distance, the Jinshanling Great Wall is like a giant dragon, curving its path over the mountain peaks whose line it follows.
Many Great Wall researchers and cultural relics experts, including Luo Zhewen and Zhu Xiyuan, have been coming to Jinshanling since 1980, and consider it to be of strategic importance, great aesthetic value, and to reflect the very essence of the Great Wall.

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday said the United States presidential nominee Barack Obama's charge against Pakistan was a serious issue and the Manmohan Singh government should take it up with the Pakistan High Commissioner here.
Mr. Obama had accused Pakistan of misusing American aid for preparing for a war against India.
BJP spokesman Ravi Shankar Prasad said it was known that terror attacks in Kashmir had increased recently and Bangladesh had become the new nerve centre for Islamic fundamentalists. Now Mr. Obama had made a specific charge against Pakistan.
Now that Asif Ali Zardari had been elected Pakistan President, the government must take up the issue and point out that in an agreement with India, Pakistan had said it would not allow its territory to be used for terrorist activity against New Delhi. Pakistan must implement that agreement, Mr. Prasad said.

NT Live: Frankenstein (Encore)15
- Danny Boyle
- In English
- 163 mins
Showing as part of National Theatre Live
Frankenstein enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatre, and went on to win awards including the 2012 Olivier Award for Best Actor for Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.
Oscar-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) directs a sensational production with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternating roles as Victor Frankenstein and his creation.
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein's bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.

Illustration for Fantsy book cover
Closed - This job posting has been filled and work has been completed.
Job Description
I'm currently searching for an illustrator who can illustrate a cover design in full color for my fantasy-comedy bok. I would like to know when you are available, how long it would take to finish the illustration and what it would cost.
The basic information about what I would like in the picture is:
* 4 characters (wizard/mage, imp (small creature), vampire and a barbarian hero)
* Scenery in the background with a haunted forest and a spooky looking castle.
* The cover should be more "happy" than the provided samples and not so doomsday like.
* The book is intended for teen and young adult readers.
The minimum dimensions are 2000x1200 pixles with that ratio.
Please add Zip Zero to the subject when answering.

Date Reviewed: May 15, 2006
Strengths: Excellent components, strong frame, reasonable price
Weaknesses: Minor. Petals are a little crappy, seat is uncomfortable after a long ride.
Bottom Line:
I'm personally the kind of rider that doesn't need or want all the extras like rear shocks, disk brakes etc. The components are high quality and I think anyone from a beginner to a pro could do alot with it. If you want a steel frame you really will be hard pressed to find a better ride. And "experts" could throw a little more money into this hardtail and trick it out a little more for their specific needs at little cost.
If you are a die-hard out-of-bounds rider or a downhill rider you obviously want to buy a 2K dollar bike. Not the Lava Dome. If you just love to ride, cruize, and occassionally rip it up in the woods the gearing and riding position on this bike are premium. It handles like a dream.

Things to do in Paris
Sylvie Chateigner opened this Paris vintage shop with an ironic name between the Place de la République and the Canal St.-Martin in 1994.
For toys, including extraordinary stuffed animals, miniature soldiers, and the best Easter decorations around, there's nothing like L'Oiseau de Paradis.
At her flagship store for a line of goods that permeates European and Asian markets and can be found in upscale hotel room bathrooms around the world, Camille Goutal continues the perfumery tradition of excellence that her mother began before her.
Centrally located on the Left Bank, the Seventh Arrondissement is one of Paris's wealthiest and most stylish districts. Home to the French elite since the 17th century, the neighborhood is now filled with luxury homes, upscale galleries and antique shops, and several major tourist attractions.
Stephane Olivier, owner of the antique shop Rive Gauche on Rue de l'Universite, spent much of his childhood in his grandmother's alpine garden, and his love of nature inspired him to open this store, which sells wrought-iron garden furniture and baroque statuary.
Opened by French-American Vanessa Elia in 2004, this high-end flower retailer on Avenue Paul-Doumer has a single overriding passion: to bring 150 varieties of the popular orchid flower to its Parisian devotees.
For nearly 30 years, L'Eclaireur boutiques have innovatively displayed high-end fashion finds. Now the family-owned company's fifth—but far from chainlike—boutique is doing double duty not just as a source for women's clothing, accessories, and objets, but also as a chic watering hole.
An interior designer for more than 40 years, Alberto Pinto has been featured in dozens of magazines like Instyle Home, Elle Decoration and Yacht Premiere. His eclectic designs have included projects like an English castle, a Boeing jet and a villa in Kuwait.

brand innovation
Posted by Mark J. Miller on September 10, 2013 02:56 PM
First introduced several months ago as a concept at Milan Design Week, Heineken is readying to roll out its interactive Heineken Ignite bottle in seven key markets around the globe.
The "first interactive bottle" is outfitted with eight bright LEDs, an eight-bit microprocessor, a motion detector, and a wireless network transceiver that allows the bottle to light up when you raise it to take a sip, clink bottles, and even flash along to the beat of real-time music, according to PSFK.
The bright brew will debut in nightclubs in seven of the brand's top 25 markets by year's end, with a larger rollout planned for 2014. And who knows? With time and more technology and insights gleaned from Heineken's big data insights, consumers may soon be able to watch Heineken's sponsored web series, Dropped, right on their beer bottles.
