The Iceman
Michael Shannon stars in the true story of the notorious hitman Richard 'The Iceman' Kuklinski, a violent individual with a plethora of secrets who was recruited by the mob
Seven (or so) short films about the relationship between sex and art, including work from Matthew Barney (Cremaster) , Gaspar Noé (Irréversible) and Kids director Larry Clark
Not a porn film as such but a film about porn and the representation of sex on screen, Destricted still follows a similar template to more conventional skin flicks, being a series of short, disconnected episodes, each with its own self-contained hardcore climax(es), and all varying greatly in their power to give the viewer pleasure. In these seven pieces by seven different artists, the shadowy spaces between sex and art are probed, prodded and palpated from every angle, and the results range from ecstatic overload to aesthetic onanism.
Into the latter category fall the sections by Sam Taylor-Wood, Matthew Barney and Gaspar Noé, where masturbation is key. Taylor-Wood's 'Death Valley' is an eight-minute single-take depicting a solitary man attempting (and failing) to pleasure himself amidst a barren, epic background, and it is as dull and pedestrian as it sounds.
Altogether more transgressive (if not necessarily more engaging) is Barney's 15-minute 'Hoist', featuring a man attempting (with considerable success) to stimulate himself against the working driveshaft of a raised Caterpillar truck from which he is suspended. There is a lesson in there somewhere about the fragile relationship between man and machine - although it is anyone's guess why Barney's fundament is plugged by what appears to be a large radish throughout the strange encounter. The artist best known for the Cremaster cycle offers some decidedly uncomfortable viewing, as well as a sex act so bizarrely particularised that even the porn industry, renowned for its niche marketing, would struggle to keep up.
Best of the three autoerotic pieces is Noé's 23-minute 'We Fuck Alone' (aka 'Babysitter'), in which a young man and woman are shown playing out contrasting masturbatory fantasies - hers cute and fluffy, his rough and violent - as both watch the same hardcore film in different bedrooms. It is explicit, but any hint of titillation is undercut both by a constant, headache-inducing strobe effect, and by a soundtrack of strident electronica mixed with a baby's irritant cries. Confrontational and unpleasant, it lays bare the dynamics of desire in all their raw ugliness, while refusing to bridge the gender divide.
'House Call' comprises a doctor-and-horny-patient routine that Richard Prince has lifted from the archives of 1970s porn, re-recorded several times to degrade the picture quality, and then set to his own score of shrill synthesised chorales. It reconfigures a disposable piece of hardcore as an icon of cultural memory, locating a certain nostalgia, and even a sense of the sacred, amidst all the hairy fellatio and play with thermometers. Still, at 12 minutes it stretches out for too long - as does Marina Abramovic's 'Balkan Erotic Epic', which intercuts the artist's descriptions of traditional Balkan sexual superstitions with dry, straight-faced reconstructions of the rituals. The faux-documentary style is amusing enough, but there is not enough shape here for the whole to hang together.
In Destricted size really does matter, which is why it is so surprising that the film's finest segments also happen to be its shortest and its longest. In Marco Brambilla's dazzling 3-minute 'Sync', countless tiny samples of sex scenes from different films are woven into an amphetamine-paced rush of fleshy gratification stripped of all fixed identity. This frantic, furious 'pornucopia', capturing all the unfocussed free association of (male) sexual fantasy, is a triumph of hyperactive editing, and has a monumentalism that belies its brevity.
Larry Clark's 'Impaled', on the other hand, breezes through its 38-minute duration without ever outstaying its welcome. It opens with a group of young males ostensibly being auditioned for a porn shoot, while in fact being slyly interviewed by an off-camera Clark about how their sexual imagination and practices have been affected by the ready availability of porn. Then the 'winner', a shy boy keen to try a bit of backdoor action, interviews a parade of 'hot porno chicks', before selecting the much older, anal-friendly Nancy Vee to be his partner, and joining her in a sex session in front of the cameras.
This is undoubtedly genuine hardcore, but by asking provocative questions, refusing to objectify his subjects, and focusing on unusual or absurd details (a child's picture on the wall, Nancy's white trainers, the messy mechanics of sodomy, the post-shoot clean-up), Clark's piece gets right to the bottom of noughties porn, exposing Generation X's great confusion about the relationship between sexual fantasy and sexual reality. Like an old pro revealing to a younger generation what's what, Clark manages all at once to be arch, entertaining and edifying. If only the same could be said for all of Destricted.
Like real sex, this collection ranges from exhilarating to frustrating, from kinky to dull - and like real porn, it will have the viewer wishing at times for a fast-forward button.

nice ! Congratulations !
brilliant work. very impressive.
Trés beau celui-ci, j'aime qu'il soit plus effacé que celui de Sarah Bernhardt, c'est plus subtile et délicat. Est ce que tu peux utiliser ces images sans avoir de problème de droit?
i love the aesthetics of these. they have texture and feel like they were found hidden away from 100 years ago. i think that your style is noticeable and is quite lovely, but i think with the use of these washes of color, they look a lot similar to your other works. the "la course de ballons" is where you have stretched yourself stylistically. which is great! i love that one more! you use your style but you have also incorporated more of an antique look to that one and then added hints of your color washes (the balloon) into it. i think it's more successful.
all in all your work is beautiful but you asked for constructive criticism. i can appreciate that more than a simple, "wow", like you said. so i would say push yourself in terms of incorporating the color elements a little less, which makes them more powerful. more meaningful. more memorable. "paris belle epoque 1", "Les pavillons de l'exposition Paris 1900", and "PARIS 1900 - l'inauguration- opening day" do this well too!
again i love your work! thanks for sharing this with us! :)
Thanks for your nice comments, it is very construvtive and much appreciated. I do not know really want to answer, but believe me it is important...
love it...the colors are beautiful.

|Irish Coffee: Ray Allen's 'holy land'
|01.18.11 at 11:14 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Ray Allen may be closing in on Reggie Miller's all-time 3-point record, but there's another elusive goal the Celtics shooting guard has in mind: The NBA's holy trinity of shooting.
It's what all professional shooters strive for — 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the free-throw line — but it's eluded Allen throughout his previous 14 seasons in the league.
"I looked at my percentages, and the one thing I can't control is how many points I score, but I can control how efficient I am," said Allen after his two late 3-pointers helped bury the Magic on Monday night. "The holy land of shooting is 50, 40 and 90. That's been something I've aimed for my whole career."
Currently, Allen is shooting career highs of 51.7 percent from the field and 47.8 percent from 3-point land, but his free-throw shooting sits at 88.3 percent. Imagine that, the NBA's No. 5 free-throw shooter of all-time actually needs to improve his free-throw shooting. It's nowhere near out of the realm of possibility, as Allen has shot 90 percent from the charity stripe nine times in his career, including the previous five seasons.
To qualify for the 50-40-90 club, a player must make at least 300 field goals, 55 3-pointers and 125 free throws. Only five players in the history of the league have qualified: Steve Nash (four times), Larry Bird (twice), Mark Price, Dirk Nowitzki and Reggie Miller. Interestingly enough, both Allen and Paul Pierce (51.4 FG%, 40.6 3P% & 86.1 FT&) could join that club by the end of the season.
Of course, Allen is also chasing Miller's all-time 3-point record. He's just 28 away from surpassing the retired Pacer's 2,560 career 3-pointers. Miller was part of the TNT crew that broadcasted Monday night's Celtics game at TD Garden, and Allen admitted he may have given him a look after one of his three treys on the night. The two began a friendship when Allen tried to recruit Miller to come out of retirement and play for the Celtics in 2008.
"He always has great things to say," said Allen of Miller. "He's been such a great mentor. He's never been envious or showed animosity towards me because I'm potentially going to break his record. It's a great lesson for me to learn as a young guy compared to him, and me passing along the things I know to the young guys who come after me."
Because of the "$3 for 3s" program that Allen's mother, Flora, started on behalf of her son, Allen has been able to pay particular attention to his chase for the record. The initiative asks people to pledge $3 to the Joslin Diabetes Center's High Hopes Fund for every 3-point shot he makes this season. His stepfather is always reminding him, too, because he's counting down to the record every morning on his chalkboard at Cheshire High School.
It's fun for Allen to discuss with his family and friends off the court, but not on the court with his teammates.
"Once we get in the locker room, it's all business," said Allen. "I don't want to be that guy who's running around the court trying to shoot a shoot a 3-pointer all day long. I don't want to be thirsty from behind the 3-point line, so I just make sure I play the game that I've always played."
Only slightly more efficiently.
On his blog for his Chinese shoe sponsor, Anta, Kevin Garnett explained that the entire Celtics team went to the Patriots loss to the Jets, and the C's can learn a lot from the No. 1 seed getting bumped from the playoffs:
|Dwight Howard: 'We will win the war' vs. Shaq, Celtics
|01.18.11 at 12:47 am ET
After all the hullabaloo over who's the real Superman, there's no wonder Dwight Howard rolls his eyes when he's asked about Shaquille O'Neal. Thinking for a moment, the Magic center made a bold prediction.
"The matchup is awesome," said Howard, tongue firmly planted in cheek. "He won the victory tonight, but we will win the war."
Howard actually dominated the individual battle during Monday night's Celtics victory against the Magic. He totaled 33 points and 13 rebounds, while Shaq finished with just 12 and 2. But the C's walked away with a 109-106 win to even the season series between the two Eastern Conference rivals, 1-1.
Asked about the defense Glen Davis and Shaq played on Howard, Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy wasn't too impressed.
"It was OK, I guess," he said. "They combined did a good job. They held him to 33, and you know — whatever."
The Celtics lost to the Magic on Christmas Day in Orlando, 86-78. Shaq and Howard combined for eight points and 11 personal fouls in that matchup. Round 3 of the battle for Superman supremacy is Feb. 6, in Boston again.
|Fast Break: Kevin Garnett, Celtics cast spell on Magic
|01.17.11 at 11:00 pm ET
The Celtics handed Kevin Garnett a pretty nice welcome home present, delivering a 109-106 victory against the Magic at TD Garden on Monday night. Of course, the C's All-Star forward — who returned for his first game of 2011 after missing nine games with a strained calf — had a hand in the win, totaling 19 points and eight rebounds.
A Paul Pierce jumper plus the foul with 38 seconds left put the Celtics up 107-104, and a Garnett steal with 15 seconds to go led to a pair of Ray Allen free throws that sealed the victory. Allen led six Celtics in double figures with 26 points as the Celtics improved to 31-9. Rajon Rondo (10 points, 13 assists) notched his 16th double-double of the season, as the C's avenged their Christmas Day loss in Orlando.
Dwight Howard had a monster game for the Magic (26-15), finishing with 33 points and 13 rebounds.
The return of KG: Obviously, any time a former Defensive Player of the Year returns to the lineup, it's a bonus. When that guy also averages 15 points a night, it's basketball's version of a double rainbow.
In his return, Garnett showed no signs of the strained calf that kept him out of the last nine games. He was active on both ends of the floor — especially the defensive end — and saw plenty of playing time until foul trouble somewhat limited his minutes. He finished with 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes.
Banging the (defensive) boards: Entering the game, the Magic owned the league's fourth-best rebounding percentage because they have a guy named Dwight Howard who's fairly tall, pretty strong and kind of good at grabbing boards (13.3 per game upon arriving in Boston). Led by the Big Three's combined 18 rebounds, the Celtics out-rebounded the Magic on the defensive end, 24-21. However, the Magic grabbed 13 offensive boards to take the overall rebounding edge, 34-30. Still, not a bad showing against one of the NBA's best boarding teams.
Rajon Rondo'd Jameer Nelson: Lost in the discussion of the recoveries of Garnett, Delonte West and Kendrick Perkins is any talk about Rondo's resurgence after missing time for an ankle sprain. The Celtics point guard had a remarkably efficient night, recording 10 points (on 5-of-6 shooting), 13 assists (and only 1 turnover), four rebounds and three steals. His best pass of the night — a transition delivery to Allen that led to a pair of free throws — didn't even result in an assist. Rondo's counterpart, Nelson, had just nine points and five assists.
Hack-a-Howard: Whether Howard forced the issue or not, the Celtics went to this strategy early and often. In the first half alone, Howard took almost as many free-throw attempts (12) as the entire Celtics team (13).
The results were two-fold: 1) Howard made 13-of-18 foul shots for the game, which was a win for Orlando, considering he entered the game shooting just 58.9 percent; and 2) the Celtics' bigs got into foul trouble, as Garnett, Shaquille O'Neal and Luke Harangody all had three personals at the break.
Defending the perimeter: The Celtics ranked sixth in the NBA in opponents' 3-point percentage, but on a few occasions they've failed to successfully get out and defend the 3-point shot. Orlando takes more treys per game than any other team. When the Magic are making them, they'll be in the game. That was the case Monday night, as they shot 11-of-27 from beyond the arc. Ryan Anderson killed the C's, making 4-of-6 from downtown.
Technical difficulty: Doc Rivers was all over the refs all night, picking up his fifth technical foul of the season (arguing a Howard walk that wasn't called) and he very well could've gotten whistled for his sixth. Shockingly, Rivers' archnemesis — referee Bill Kennedy — was not involved in the game. Rivers and Pierce are now tied for the team lead in technical fouls with five apiece.

|Irish Coffee: Sorting through Celtics speak
|01.14.11 at 11:21 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Check out this video of some chick named Kath singing Nate Robison's tweets. It starts to get pretty funny around the 53-second mark. My favorite lyric, courtesy of the Celtics' backup guard: "Don't you just feel like getting away from the world? I do, just me and my kids — eff everything else."
Doc Rivers and Jermaine O'Neal discussed the injury-plagued Celtics on WEEI on Thursday, and Paul Pierce did the same in his blog on Celtics.com. If you listen to the links, you'll learn a few things, like …
Rivers plans on sticking around for a while, as he discussed the possibility of passing Tommy Heinsohn for second among coaches on the team's all-time winning list; he's 119 games away, which would put him on the bench for at least another two seasons:
"Yeah, I could. That would be nice. That would mean that we're doing well and playing well. That still takes a while. That would be nice to do. I would say that."
Despite his original insistence that Kevin Garnett's absence didn't hurt them in their loss to the Rockets, Rivers admitted that indeed the defense is falling apart without their All-Star forward:
"We watched tape the other day of our transition defense, and it screamed of no Kevin — that voice of telling guys to get back, get to your spot, look left, pick-and-roll defense. … It's like losing the linebacker on your team who leads your team and tells everybody where they should go. Not having that hurts your defense."
According to Rivers, Garnett is day-to-day but not ready to return yet, which seems to me like more than day-to-day:
"I hate dates, if you know what I mean. If anyone says two weeks or a week, that's silly, because you don't know how long anything's going to take. He is day-to-day, very close, but just not ready yet."
According to Jermaine O'Neal, his role on this team is to defend the pick-and-roll, block shots and rebound — which seems pretty simple for a guy who makes more than Glen Davis, Shaquille O'Neal and Semih Erden combined:
"This team is built a certain way, and it's one of the rare teams that is really a system team, and it needs different components for the system to run right. You don't need two batteries in the motor. You need different parts in the car to make it run, and I'm one of those parts — to help defensively to stop the pick and roll, block shots and get some rebounds."
O'Neal also admitted that in-season knee surgery is not completely out of the question:
"That was definitely something we talked about the first time I was out for an extended period of time. We wanted to try a couple options, and that may be something that we're looking at now. It's something I will eventually need at the end of the season. You want to be around, and you don't want to miss an extended period of time, and I've already done that. So, you make decisions as a player. … We're going to make a decision on what's best for me to get better, be done with the ailment and be back on the court full-time."
The Celtics' backup bigman believes that — if healthy — the Celtics are pretty much unstoppable:
"To have one of the best records in the league, and we haven't had a full complement of players all year, that makes us feel a certain way. We feel like once we do get everyone back it's going to be extremely, extremely tough to beat our team."
The following guys are battling through injuries, according to Pierce: the O'Neal "brothers", Robinson, Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Semih Erden and Delonte West:
"We're taking it game by game. Fighting through injuries with Shaq, Jermaine, Rajon, Nate and Semih and KG all dinged up. It hurt me a lot to see Delonte go down with the broken wrist, but in the NBA, it's always go time, so we can't lose our focus when something like that happens."
Good times all around. If the Celtics can hobble through Friday night's game against the Bobcats, they'll have two days off before facing the Magic on Monday. By then, Garnett could be back in the lineup for a much-needed boost.
The NBA trade deadline is approaching in February, so HoopsWorld is detailing where each team stands in terms of needs, trade bait and salary cap. Here's how they depict the Celtics:
Notable Trade Chips: Von Wafer (one year/$900K), Avery Bradley (two years/$3 million plus team options for 2012-2013 and 2013-2014), Marquis Daniels (one year/$2.5 million), Glen Davis (one year/$3.3 million), Luke Harangody (two years/$1.2 million) and Nate Robinson (two years/$8.7 million).
Salary Cap Situation: The Celtics are nearly $31 million over the cap this season and are $7.4 million over the luxury tax threshold.
Trade Exceptions: None
Their contention that the Celtics will be looking to deal for a backup point guard and center is fairly ridiculous, considering they'll be adding West and Perkins over the next month, but it is at least worth noting who has value around the league and how much the C's owners are investing in this team.

|Irish Coffee: Semih Erden vs. Jermaine O'Neal
|01.13.11 at 11:56 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
It's a hodgepodge edition of Irish Coffee this morning, so stay alert. While Brent Barry may have compared Glen "Big Baby" Davis to an actual baby in the video that accompanies this blog, we're going to take a look at the per-minute averages of Celtics centers Jermaine O'Neal and Semih Erden:
J. O'Neal: 0.29 points, 0.21 rebounds, 0.16 personal fouls, 0.07 blocks, 0.06 turnovers, 0.03 assists, 0.01 steals, 44.7 field-goal percentage, 77.8 free-throw percentage.
Erden: 0.28 points, 0.18 rebounds, 0.17 personal fouls, 0.06 turnovers, 0.04 blocks, 0.03 assists, 0.02 steals, 57.7 field-goal percentage, 60.5 free-throw percentage.
After Erden dropped 10 points and nine rebounds in 33 minutes against the Kings while O'Neal sat out his 21st game of the season with a sore knee, I thought to myself: Would Erden be a better option than O'Neal? Considering these numbers at this point, why not invest your time in a 24-year-old rookie with room for improvement rather than a 32-year-old veteran who has logged 24,757 minutes and has a sore knee for life?
Paul Flannery has more on the growing concern that is Jermaine O'Neal's knee in his Three-Pointer.
The difference between the Celtics and Kings is so glaring that Sacramento's players and coach not only openly admitted that fact, they expressed their desire to essentially grow up to be the C's:
Kings coach Paul Westphal (via the Sacramento Bee): "You could pick up how they work together to take away your first and second options. They were really on the same page doing that. … They really don't care who shoots. They run their stuff, and they know they have threats at all the places, and they get the shot they want."
Kings guard Beno Udrih (also via the Bee): "On offense, nobody's worrying about who's going to score. They just hit the guy that's open. They set screens. They play basketball basically the way it should be played."
And then there's my favorite quote of the day, also from Westphal, on the starting matchup between Kings rookie Eugene "Pooh" Jeter (Boston fans have probably used that nickname for another guy) and Rajon Rondo:
|Irish Coffee: Does poor Celtics offensive rebounding matter?
|01.12.11 at 11:48 am ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
Despite losing two straight games, if you look at the Celtics' statistics, there's not much they're doing poorly over the course of this season. They've made more field goals than their opponents while taking fewer shots. They've dished out more assists, snatched more steals, swatted more blocks and committed fewer turnovers.
In fact, only one number sticks out. The Celtics have been out-rebounded overall by four. More specifically, they've been out-boarded on the offensive glass by 97 and rank last this year in the category that Red Auerbach called "the hardest single phase of basketball."
When you consider the fact that the C's are shooting a league-leading 50.2 percent from the field — leaving fewer chances for themselves — that number is less glaring than at first glance, but does it matter at all? C's head coach Doc Rivers doesn't think so.
"I'm not a big believer in offensive rebounds," said Rivers. "I think if you if you get back every single time and not get offensive rebounds, you probably save more points in the long run. So, that's not a concern."
Anyone who watched Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals — when the Lakers out-rebounded the Celtics 23-8 on the offensive end — might disagree with Rivers on that contention. While fans often rely on emotions for their arguments, Rivers can generally point to statistics to back up his statements, so let's look to the numbers.
Here are the top-five NBA teams record-wise with their rank in offensive rebounds per game in parentheses:
- 1. Spurs (15th)
- 2. Heat (25th)
- 3. Celtics (30th)
- 4. Lakers (5th)
- 5. Mavericks (29th)
Here are the bottom-five NBA teams record-wise with their rank in offensive rebounds per game in parentheses:
- 26. Wizards (8th)
- 27. Nets (17th)
- 28. Kings (3rd)
- 29. Timberwolves (1st)
- 30. Cavaliers (28th)

Sweet, nice, independent chick, with no drama! Looking for new ways to meet people. :)
Just trying something new. I'm a very friendly person, cheerful overall, who is just putting myself out there. It doesn't hurt to try right? I've been through some things, been hurt a few times, but through it all I'm very hopeful and looking towards a better future. I'm looking for a man who knows what he wants. No confusion, no games, and no lies. I've seen so much in my years that I'm almost to the point of giving up, and settling on staying single. So if you're looking for just sex...keep moving... If you're in love with another woman and you want a backup... Keep moving... If you're stuck on someone from your past... Keep moving. I hope those statements don't intimidate you, but I know what I want... No drama, just happiness!

It is my hope to always bring out something good and positive in all that I do! Despite our outward differences of faith, religion, culture, or even global location, one thing we all as humans embrace is a sense of acceptance, and belonging. Our art is an expression of who we are and a language that needs no words. It is my hope that my work depicts all that is loving and positive in which to edify others. I give all my thanks to my God who has uniquely and wonderfully created us in His image.

From the Publisher Alone, or in the company of friends, Brassai discovered and recorded the forbidden Paris of the 1930s, its brothels, whores, pimps, opium dens, and transvestite cafes -- the sordid yet fascinating bas-monde where high society mingled with the underworld.The Secret Paris of the ''30s is one of the most remarkable photographic memories ever published: like his predecessor Toulouse-Lautrec, Brassai chose to portray a hidden and daring subject matter. His photographs reveal a milieu previously known only through books such as the novels of Henry Miller (a frequent companion of Brassai''s nocturnal rambles), the seamy, grimy, yet infinitely exciting reality that tourists still think of when they seek "Paris by night".These unique pictures are accompanied by an immensely interesting text in which Brassai reminisces and describes the extraordinary conditions under which he took his photographs.

How in the world could this
Submitted by marvinisit (not verified) on Sat, 10/29/2011 - 4:07am.
How in the world could this ruin his potential future? Please explain the statement -- "here we go one step closer to tightening down on coming as close to losing our 2nd amendment rights as ever, and most of ya'lls idiotic mentality is why." How lame and paranoid can one be. And -- "no tellin how many cars in the parking lot at that football game had pistols in the car." No telling how many drunks drove home from a bar last night but wait that's against the laws tooooooooooooo. What, its's just as good analogy and reasoning as your idiotic mentality.

August 5, 2014
Near-record-setting Class 8 truck orders of nearly 30,000 in July mean the industry is on track to potentially reach 325,000 Class 8 trucks this year, according to preliminary figures from two industry research groups.
July 28, 2014
Class 8 used-truck sales were up in June compared to May and compared to last year, according to ACT Research's latest used-truck report.

July 7, 2014

June 11, 2014
Americas Commercial Transportation Research announced Jim Meil has joined the firm in the position of principal, industry analysis.

May 27, 2014
Retail sales for Classes 5 through 8 in North American posted solid gains in April according to the latest State of the Industry report, recently released by ACT Research.
Freight growth gives fleets confidence to buy, while low cancellations push backlogs to six months. Tankers are also up strongly, but lack of a highway bill could upset dump-trailer business.

April North America Classes 5-7 net orders are expected at 17,800 units and Class 8 net orders are expected at 24,400 units, when actual data are released mid-month.

There are only 2 real solutions if you want real long term storage.

You can buy a cat, name it stupid, and get it fixed.

Because of the sloping terrain and city codes regarding minimum foundation thicknesses, it ended up taking 96 80lbs bags
96 80lb bags would only cover 115 square feet at 6". And if it's a slope, it would have to be smaller than 10x10. Where do you live where they have building requirements for such a small shed? In AZ, you don't have to care at all until you go over 200 square feet.
It shows that there's an incline of purchase, not a descent.
I worked around the PHB doing something like this by telling him we'd written our own cloud software and were using it because it was more secure than what is currently available.
He doesn't talk to cloud guys, because we've already got a cloud provider (AFAHKT).
Yes, things like this really work in real life.
Probably the best variant of this I've seen was a friend who concatenated md5sums of various kernels he'd compiled into a string and printed them onto a dog tag which he kept on his person.
Based on something he knew about the machines location he started at a certain row and column and typed a certain number of characters off the tag.
I really don't like phones. They rarely bring good news.
In my case they don't die, I kill them. Specifically, I smash them. I break them into little tiny bits.
I don't do this out of anger. I do it for the joy of destroying the phone.
I really don't like phones.
The problem isn't that they would treat Charlie Shrem differently, the problem is Charlie Shrem doesn't have 2 billion dollars to give them.
I think we can all agree that it bears repeating- repetition is the key.
Additionally, try to focus on repetition. Repetition is the key.
What good is a ticket to the good life, if you can't find the entrance?

Caught on camera: Burglar smashes through business door, makes off with cell phones
See video of break-in below
August 01, 2013 at 10:39 am
Video Included | Mobile Reader | Print
A burglar used a baseball bat to smash the front door of iSupply in Boutte. He then crawled through and stole $8,000 worth of cell phones.
Guillory is obviously tired. He rewinds the video and plays it again, going through different scenarios.
"You see he comes around in front of the building and then goes to the back to get the bat. It's like he stashed it there," he said.
He rewinds the video again looking for subtleties that investigators may not be able to pick up.
"Maybe he took the railroad tracks behind us. Maybe he was on foot," he said.
The Boutte store, which specializes in smart phone repairs and accessories and has only been open since October of last year, did not have a security system although it did have cameras running at the time.
Video footage from the crime shows a male dressed in all white run in front of the building just before 3 a.m. on the morning of Friday, July 26. The thief can be seen running around the building and returning with a baseball bat that he then used to smash a hole in the bottom part of one of the store's front doors. With the door smashed, he climbed in.
Once inside the thief emptied the display cases of 17 smart phones, worth an estimated $6,000-$8,000, into a backpack and in under two minutes exits the store walking away casually while hiding the bat behind his side.
Brandon Guillory, who is a co-owner of the store, said he did not think he needed an alarm system because the store is located on such a well traveled roadway.
"I've just got to take more precaution. I've got to get a better system," he said. " I was going to get one and being right on the highway in plain site I thought cars would be driving by and I didn't get it."
Guillory said he has insurance, but he does not want to be at the whim of an insurance agency.
"I have insurance and I hope they take care of it. Just knowing it could possibly not get covered is upsetting," he said.
For Guillory, the timing could not have been worse. He is preparing to break off from his partner in iSupply and go into business on his own as Repair Dat.
"What's crazy is this is happening right before we move," he said.
This is the second such burglary that has occurred on Highway 90 in Boutte in the past two months. On May 16, Vince's Auto Parts, which is located only a few blocks away from iSupply, had a similar type of break in when someone smashed their front door and took expensive stereo equipment.
"That's what was with Vince's Auto - It was a real quick smash and grab job also. They just went in there and stole a lot of his stereo equipment," George Casillas, owner of Diamond Auto Glass, said.
Since opening Diamond Auto Glass about a year ago, Casillas said he has been called out to repair at least four glass doors that have been smashed in.
"That's a shame man. I mean all people have to do is work for a living," he said. "Why bother going to jail and everything else?"
The St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the iSupply robbery as well as the earlier break in at Vince's Auto Parts. At this time they have not made any arrests in the burglaries.

My Sunrise
The chirp of birds in the early morning Bless my smiles with their innocent calling I head outside with my blanket wrapped around And lay there listening to this memorable sound.
Nature's Lullaby
Sounds of singing birds so early in the morn Is a beauty in life that no one can adorn. Soothing peace of waves gently caressing the sand
He sat there in the streaming light, Silent, settled like the darkened night. Rays channelled through the greys of ancient gloom, Purifying his soul, natural hues of the moon.
I Do Love You
Baby we're the perfect two, there's no complication. The only mathematics we need is me plus you it's the perfect equation. But when we're in science we create a chemical reaction. Ten out of Ten is our love expressed as a fraction.
This Sea Of Tears
This sea of tears is a vast wasteland That a maiden burdens with an imprinted hand Creating swells and blustery typhoons Breaking the core of the harvest moon
My Sunset
The sun sets on the horizon from the distant land, Where birds chirp and couples lay hand in hand. I look at the sun to say goodbye, To the beautiful colours that paint the sky.
My Imagination
Imagine that there is no heaven Above us only a sky Imagine that there is no religion To create controversy and lies.
The Deceptive Eye
Eyes are the windows to each and every soul That articulates a story in every perspective Seeping when sad and tightened when angry But can lie to us 'cause they're deceptive.
The Garden's Secret
The secret garden is a special place That is close to my heart It washes away yesterday's sorrow As I watch the new day start.
The World We Created
Broken bottles everywhere with plastic bags Charred pieces of glass with boxes and fags Ripping out plants and tearing down trees. Is this the beautiful environment surrounding me?
You Are My Sunrise
The sun is smiling as I open my eyes Birds serenading the awoken sky. I watch from my window the sun climbing a hill Spreading its glimmer so beautiful.
My Gift To You
When the towers fell on September eleven Countless souls were sent to heaven Left families scarred and destroyed For this nightmare had been employed.
Expel All Hatred
Expel all hatred from thy heart Revenge, fire, will tear thee apart. Expel all anger from thy mind No thoughts like these of any kind.
The Pieces Of My Heart
I was walking this lonely wilderness And then I met you I had no intention of falling 'Cause my heart's pieces, were but a few.

Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.
I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com) .
Reasons I chose them over the others:
1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
My Experience
I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....! !

The museum built on what we have been learning over the past few days and provided an excellent opportunity for Kate and Roy to actually read first hand accounts of the actions of the Resistance fighters such as smuggling allied soldiers over the Pyrenees Mountains into Spain, and has left us all wanting to learn more.

Call and Promise
Sunday, November 10, 1996 at 6 p.m. (E.T.)
(Check local listings.)
God calls Abraham to leave his home, promising him that he will father a great nation. Abraham and his wife, Sarah, journey to Egypt where Abraham asks Sarah to pretend to be his sister for the sake of survival. Bill Moyers says: "God is founding a dynasty, the beginnings of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. One might expect the storyteller to paint the First Family ten feet tall with several coats of whitewash. But the picture we get of these men and women is uncomfortably human. There is so much marital conflict and sibling intrigue they almost forfeit the call and fumble the promise. Yet the storyteller refuses to clean up their act. This is the amazing thing about the people of Genesis. The more we talk about them, the more they look like people we know -- faces in the mirror."
Featuring Robert Alter, Azizah Al-Hibri, Bharati Mukherjee, Eugene Rivers, Lewis Smedes, Elizabeth Swados, Burton L. Visotzky. See

Narrative written by Elizabeth Swados.
The Lord called to Abraham, and said "Leave your native land, your birthplace, and your father's house. Go to a land I will show you. And I will bless you and make your name great and you will be the father of many nations. And all of your children will be blessed for I will be their God. I will bless those that bless you. And anyone that curses you I will curse. And all the families of the earth will be blessed in you."
So Abraham left his home and he took his wife Sarah, his nephew named Lot, and all their belongings and servants, and set out for the land of Canaan. Abraham saw that the Canaanites already dwelt there. He moved on, but the Lord appeared again. "Abraham, you and your children shall have this land." So Abraham built an altar to the Lord who had appeared to him.
When a terrible famine fell on Canaan, Abraham went down to Egypt. At the border, Abraham said to Sarah, "Listen, I know what a beautiful woman you are. If the Egyptians see you and think you are my wife, they'll kill me to get to you. Say that you are my sister so it will go well with me. And I will live because of you."
And it was true: the Egyptians found Sarah to be very beautiful. When Pharaoh heard of her beauty he took her into his house. And he treated Abraham well for her sake. Abraham was given sheep, oxen, donkeys, servants, and camels. But God caused great plagues to fall on Pharaoh because of Sarah. And Pharaoh sent for Abraham and said, "What have you done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife? Take her and be gone!"
So Abraham left Egypt with Sarah, Lot and his many servants. Now he was very rich in cattle, silver and gold. He went back to the place where he had first pitched his tent on the mountain, where he had built an altar for the Lord. And there, in that place, Abraham called out the name of God.

Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.

This tour was amazing!
This tour was very informative regarding the background of Venice. I Think her name was Maria (I hate myself for not remembering, but I know she was from Milan and moved to Venice 15 yrs ago) I hope that helps. She took her time explaining all the different buildings and streets with no rush. She was also kind enough to explain in spanish for a couple from Mexico after explaining everything in English. She went above an beyond to give us the perfect experience. The Gondola ride was a little late because it was around 5:00 pm, which was cold already. The pictures came out good though, so that is a plus.
The walking tour was an interesting addition. Of course the gondola ride was, well, something that has to be done. It was enjoyable.
it was very interesting and informative. We were shown and told things we never would have found on our own. Our gondolier was great.
I booked this tour for my parents. Very easy to book, and to also change dates the week of the tour!
My parents said they had a wonderful experience that they'll always remember. Just what I had wanted for them...thank you Viator!!
I would recommend this excellent tour which was exceptional value for money. Our tour guide was charming and very informative. We saw places which where off the beaten track. The walking pace was gentle so suitable for the less energetic. The gondola ride was a great experience and a bargain to be included in the tour.
This was my 3rd Gondola Ride and it was great. The best part of the tour was the guide herself and how Knowledgable aand interesting she made the information about Venice.
Would recommend it to anyone - I have been to Venice probably 50 times and would take this tour again.
Fabulous tour of Venice behind the scenes! Even though Venice was pretty crowded, our tour covered places that were off the beaten path. We were able to experience parts of Venice we never would have known to visit and learned a bit of history that we probably never would have learned otherwise. Our tour guide, Andrew, was great. He was knowledgeable, a true lover of Venice and Venetian history/culture and his English was fantastic. The gondola ride was also fabulous. From the other reviews, I expected to be packed onto a gondola with 5 or 6 other people, and this was the case, but it wasn't too bad. We were on a gondola! In Venice! No complaints here.
This tour was amazing!
This tour was exactly what we wanted. It took you off from the main attractions and showed you the original buildings and architecture of Venice. The guide was very knowledgable and the gondola ride was lovely. Perfect tour.
An ideal tour to learn about Venice and find your way bout. Our guide was a young lady who was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Venice. The gondola ride (group of 6) was a very enjoyable experience.
Exceeded expectations. Our guide was superb. And she was friendly and personable.
Excellent guide and well versed on the city. The walking tour combined with the gondola ride is an excellent value!
It was an exceptional walking tour with a knowledgeable and personable guide. The gondola ride on the Grande Canal was worth the price of the tour. We would highly recommend this tour anyone visiting Venice.

What to do with Prospal?
With today's game done, I believe he is on a nine game point scoring streak with a few of those points coming on the PP. That gives him 5 goals and 17 points in 20 games. I always find myself yelling at Prospal from my couch every now and then as he does make some stupid plays, but he really does seem to get the rest of the team and especially Gaborik going.
Will we re-sign him with all the young talent coming in? Does he fit?
Let's see if we make the playoffs
Bring him back for another 1-year deal. He's a valuable player, just like Fedotenko, and as we've seen this year, you can't have enough depth.
Bring him back. He's a terrific teammate, solid player, a veteran leader, and won't cost much.
I don't think we should resign him unless it's for REALLY cheap, but he does not deserve the hate he gets around here and he's been BIG for us.
Depends on how his knee feels next year. I just don't think he can last a full 82 game season without burning out.
I don't know. His health is definitely a concern...
Def re-sign him to a one year deal. He would be a nice, and cost effective flank to Richards, and Gabby...
It would be a mistake bringing him back. He is way too slow of a skater. Prospal has been useful on the pp but he doesn't do much 5 on 5. I doubt he stays healthy for a full year too. I hope they dont bring him back.
I don't really want to re-sign him...I want spots open for Hagelin/Kreider, and his health is always a concern. I wouldn't be too disappointed if we re-sign him tho..he's a very likable player.
I'm going to guess for Vinny his options will be Rangers or retire for next season... If that's really the case, offer him $1 mil and that's it.... I think a lot will hinge on whether or not the Rangers can land Richards.
I don't want to re-sign either. If the summer goes as planned, where are we getting the roster opening for him? Especially if the team wants Kreider up, or even Hagelin.
BUT, he is now outscoring Frolov, in less than half the games played lol
would love to keep him, but need to give the kreiders and grachevs a chance
Other guys will be injured on & off all year long. Gotta have depth. Gaborik seems to like him too. If there's too many guys give him the healthy scratch.
He can't skate. We should not re-sign him. He's been good for us though.
We're going to be close enough to the cap next year as it is, don't want him back on a guaranteed contract. If he'll accept a TC tryout, and wins a spot that way, well I can't really argue that...
This is another Shanahan situation, IMO. Let him go. He's done well by us, but you've gotta upgrade that spot in the off-season whether it's internally or otherwise
I'll take a Fedotenko back for another year if it means allowing Hagelin and Kreider to get more experience.
I don't think we can re-sign him.
Hard to say that about a guy who has produced like he has, but he doesn't have the speed to keep up with our style of play for long. If Zuccarello progresses he should be able to fill the role Prospal does right now, with better legs.
Prospal is still a 70 point hockey player but he is on a beer leaguer's legs.
I do want us to bring Feds back, though. Let Kreider or Hagelin or whoever rip it up in Connecticut.
I can't imagine why anybody wouldn't want him back, at least for another year. No, he's not 25, but he's still solid, talented, energetic, and inexpensive. Provides a good veteran presence, has been putting up points on a nightly basis, and Gab apparently likes playing with him.
I think it is quite optimistic to think that Prospal will be back. In the end... it will depend on whether some young guys (i.e. Hagelin, Kreider, Grachev, etc.) make the team, and if Sather can sign someone better (i.e. Richards). He will be a guy signed at the end of the summer on an "if needed" basis. And it will definitely be for much less than he makes now.
He's 0.8 points/game since he got back from his injury. And on top of that he's a good team mate. A no brainer if he comes cheap imo.

We have an in-ground pool and it is nice to have a pair of water shoes I can count on. This is probably the 7th time (over a 20 year period of time) I have purchased this brand. At this time I have the two pairs I bought currently and one older pair still in good use. I have been totally satisfied with this product.I am also very favorably impressed with Swim Outlet's ordering methodology: easy, accurate, fast. Well done!
well worth it!

I bought them because we were going to Mexico and I knew the beaches were a little rocky, and boy, the beaches were extremely rocky, we used them to go into the water, jog along the beach, I even used them to go ziplining, well worth it!

I bought the women's version of this shoe last winter for aquatic fitness class. Very disappointed in quality because the fabric has already ripped in toe area. I've only used them maybe 10 times. Toe guard is good, and fit is fine (went one size down from shoes), but I would never buy this brand again.

A fun practice project to learn how to run PVC or copper

I have another one around here somewhere that is made out of CPVC and I drilled a hole in the elbow on the front end of the left arm, then I formed a cup holder out of solder and hung in the hole.
When my daughter was about 8yrs old I made her a table & four dinning chairs for her dolls out of copper.
After I retired 4 yrs ago I still keep my hand in the works by teaching some of the apprenticeship classes and we found this was a fun project to teach ppl how to cut and fit pipe. It is really not as easy as it looks because there are a lot of different angles that all have to be correct.
When I was in the Air Force I was a still photographer and for a short time after I got out I worked as a freelance photographer so after I retired 5 years ago I took up photography once again as a hobby. I made this particular chair to fit an 18" high stuffed animal frog, which I photograph doing different things then I make a cartoon out of it.
I will attach a couple examples:

Jeffrey Court Beveled Subway Tile BS
mike701February 26, 2013
I ordered a box of each, pearl white and the concorde dawn from HD. I liked the pearl white but had a couple concerns. First, the finish of the pearl white was not consisitent--bright white showed through on the edges of the bevel. Second, it seems hard to find finish trim to match this particular color. If anyone has used this tile, where did you find trim to match, and was the pearl white glaze consistent?
