Interpol: Our Love To Admire
At first glance the cover looks like an image from National Geographic or a still from an Animal Planet documentary. On closer inspection you see that the animals are in-fact taxidermy, most likely shot in a public museum. The cover and inside imagery are the work of New York photographer Seth Smoot. Most of the images are staged in a dry or cold landscape and depict harsh scenes from the animal world.
Somehow the artwork seems to make sense when listening to the album. I'm sure there was a lot more thought put into the concept other than the fact it looks really cool. Interpol's traditional black, white and red colour scheme is gone (which could reflect the bands move to a major record label) but a bleak atmosphere is still prevalent.
There is also some beautiful typography provided by David Calderley.

Interpol used the same artwork as another band as part of their promotional campaign. There's more info about the artwork in the Pitchfork article. Still a cool cover though.
Let me clarify.
The Interpol artwork is the same album campaign as "Kosheen" RESIST album, see for yourself.
Naughty Naughty!! Not Cool at all!!!
WoW! Who designed the Kosheen album cover, i remember seeing this a while back?
I don't think Kosheen's album (which is still very nice) is the same as the Interpol one. Same type of animal but apart from that totally different?
Has anyone seen all the Kosheen series, its clearly the same concept as well as look and feel.
Get it straight mate its been ripped off!
How Painful!!!
Ahh of course, Kosheen. That's where I've seen this done before. It looked eerily familiar.
Hey Simon,
after seeing the other releases it does look more familiar. I guess thats the risk designers run into when using common imagery like the natural history museum stuff.
Guys, guys –– have you seen this!
My very first reaction was "bad kosheen ripoffâ€.
But then……unbelievable.
This cover is quite simply a toss, and a predictable
reaction to the decline of the importance of album art by the last batch of designers riding this particular gravy train.
Check it out!
Has any one seen this?
As I'm rather, er, cool to Coldplay I wasn't aware of what was going on with the design
what message is the band sending?
I'll have to check it out.!
i just saw this cover for the first time today and instantly thought of kosheen covers. despite the fact that the coldplay cover is such a blatent rip-off, i would guess Graphic Theropy doesn't seem to mind. the question is, does Blue Source?
I know this is terribly anti design education, but I don't like this album cover cuz I don't get it. Its not a great album cover…its Starbucks.
By designing a Coldplay album you will be given a portfolio piece that will get you more work whether it's good work or not.
Im courious what album cover design masters like Peter Saville would say about this one.
kosheen's 'resist' artwork is fantastic, but their latest lp, 'damage' looks even better!
if the landscape / sky pictures on their website are a taste of future single sleeves, then it's another beautiful set of campaign art…
This David C. fella needs to go out and buy some design books…..
nice cover from kosheen!
Has anyone seen this. Here's one for the books. Ta!
I don't care – Our Love To Admire is a great album.
Those photos were taken at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. The museum has hundreds of taxidermy dioramas set against painted backgrounds in little alcoves. It's only 12$ to get in, right next to Moore college of art, I highly recommend it.
Looks like the new Made Out Of Babies album is the next one in the series… Weak!
One of my favourite albums. If you listen to some of the songs, like Pace is the Tricks, the lyrics are interelated to the cover
I thought the photo's were done at the New York Natural History Museum. I was there in December and I remember thinking one of the displays was uncanny.
Plus, they're from New Yoik aren't they?
Maybe they were taken all over the place.
Best album of 2007 anyway.
The Interpol cover comes from an African diorama in the Cabela's in Utah. Check this out… http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B000PY32CO/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_2?ie=UTF8&index=2
IMHO not a great cover but most definitely a GREAT album!
Actually this cover image was used by Ola Podrida first. So give some credit.

Whenever a dumb idea for a domain name is mentioned in passing on some type of GB A/V content, someone in the chat inevitably picks up that domain name pronto.
Upon hearing this week s bombcast, I decided to check out some registrars, and discovered that there is a dot limo extension. So I wanted to try to buy www.ididitfortherock.limo
I went to godaddy, 1&1, gandi, hover, namesomething, and a few others, expecting the deals advertised on TV. 99 cents per year. Now even if it became ten bucks a year from year 2 onwards, I'd still be okay with it. An extra 3 bucks a year to avoid whois listing = also okay. I feared that those 99 cent deals would be a the domain cost only for customers who spend 10$ a month on a 1TB hosting package or email package. And while that was the case for a few of them, most seemed to be charging $80-$4000 per domain no matter what hosting space or design a website software DVD package you tacked on. Prices also varied by name. www.wwf.xxx for instance, the address for the Salty Bet but for wrestling games dream project I hope to make reality, would go for $90. But the asking price for www.wwefiguresandreplicsbelts.peru.com.au would cost $2000 per year.
There must be a cheap place to buy websites if so many people here do it. Help my dream of a site filled with nothing but highlight videos of wrestlers blowing up Lincoln Town Cars come true.

06.11.06 - The sold out signs have gone up at the Point in Dublin ahead of Saturday night's European Title fight between Bernard Dunne and Esham Pickering. Demand has been phenomenal for the event which for the first time ever will see a Dubliner fight for the European title in his native city. Managing Director of Ticketmaster Ireland, Eamonn O' Connor confirmed that the event is now a complete sell out with 7,000 boxing fans hoping to witness Dunne lift the European Super Bantamweight title..
"In a quarter of a century with Ticketmaster I've never seen anything like this for a boxing match," said O' Connor. "Bernard really seems to have captured the public's imagination. It might appear to be an overnight success but Bernard and his promoter Brian Peters have worked for 10 years to make this such a high profile event."
Although O' Connor felt the event would be a success he admits he was surprised by the huge demands for tickets. "The kind of demand we saw for this was comparable to what we see for some of the big name bands and artists. It's just created a great buzz amongst the general public and the fact that it's sold out reflects that."
O' Connor's views are backed up by Cormac Rennick, the General Manager at the Point. "We're very excited about this event and hope that at the end of it Ireland will have another champion to cheer on."
"This is probably the biggest sporting event we've ever held at the Point. We've had big names like Lennox Lewis and Naseem Hamed as well as our own Steve Collins and Wayne McCullough appear at the Point but they never came close to the kind of audience Bernard has generated for Saturday night's fight."
"We have Paul Simon and the Scissor Sisters in concert here this week and then over the coming weeks week it's Pink, Bruce Springsteen and Christina Aguilera. The fact that Bernard is up there with big names from the entertainment industry like that proves just how popular he has become."
Promoter Brian Peters says he's delighted with the response from the general public. "I think Bernard's proved now that he is capable of attracting not just boxing fans or even sports fans but people from across the board. Boxing is a sport but there is some truth in the old adage that it's 'show business with blood' and Bernard is a real showman. To have 7,000 people at the weekend is terrific and I'm sure that will translate into the kind of atmosphere that will make it a night to remember."
While fans may no longer be able to get their hands on tickets for Saturday nights fight they can follow all the action live on RTÉ TWO from 10pm. Live coverage of the fight will also be available via a webcast on RTÉ.ie.
Saturday nights card also features another first for the Point as it hosts it's first ever Irish title fight. Local puncher Jonathan "The Thunderbolt" O' Brien was born less than 10 minutes from the famous venue so he'll be looking to take the Irish Light Heavyweight title home when he clashes with English based Mayo man Michael Monaghan.
The undercard also includes appearances from popular Cork man Billy Walsh, 6ft 7" heavyweight sensation Scott Belshaw and light welterweight prospect Stephen Haughian. Also on the bill are the unbeaten trio of Andrew Wallace, Eugene Heagney and Wayne Brooks.

"Beautiful Corsica" Top 5 Page for this destination Corsica by Psife
Corsica Travel Guide: 378 reviews and 1,139 photos
Spent almost a week on Corsica in July this year (2003). I went there together with my sister. We took the morning ferry from Nice to Calvi, it took 5 hours but we spent the time in sun chairs on the aft deck watching the dolphins so it was a nice journey and the view when you approach Calvi is beautiful.
Corscia is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to, I was taking photos constantly which my sister's found extremly annoying (Are we stoping AGAIN??). Unfortunatly one of the films was destroyed =(
We rented scooters in Calvi and drove around Corsica spending one night in each place.
We drove down along the coast from Calvi to Porto where we stayed in a nice hotel with a great view of the port and a wonderful view of the sunset from the balcony. Next we drove through Les Calanques to Ajaccio.
After Ajaccio we went to Bonifacio, problably the most beautiful town in all of Corsica, be sure not to miss this great place. The last night we spent in Corte before going back again with the ferry from Calvi.
- Pros:So Beautiful!
- Cons:So Warm in July!

The War of the Two Brothers
John VI acknowledged the independence of Brazil in 1825, assuming pro forma the imperial title and then yielding it to Pedro. However, when John died (March 10, 1826), no provision had been made for the succession except that his daughter Maria Isabel was named regent. Pedro, as Peter IV of Portugal, issued from Brazil a charter providing for a parliamentary regime by the authorization of the monarchy and not based on the sovereignty of the people. He then made a conditional abdication (May 1826) of the Portuguese throne in favour of his seven-year-old daughter Maria da Glória provided that she marry her uncle Michael and swear to accept the charter. This compromise could not be effective. The absolutists had hoped that Pedro would resign all rights to the Portuguese crown, and the council of regency hesitated to publish the charter until General João Carlos de Saldanha (later duque de Saldanha) forced their hand. In 1827 Michael took the oath and was appointed regent; he landed in Lisbon in February 1828, and his supporters at once began to persecute the liberals. A form of the Cortes met in Lisbon and in July 1828 repudiated Pedro's claims and declared Michael the rightful king.
Only Terceira Island in the Azores sustained the liberal cause. In June 1829, however, a regency on behalf of Maria da Glória was established in Terceira, and in 1831 Pedro, having abdicated the Brazilian throne, went to Europe and began to raise money and an army for the conquest of Portugal. In February 1832 the expedition sailed to Terceira, and in July the liberals, led by Pedro, disembarked at Mindelo near Porto, which they soon occupied. However, the rest of the country stood by Michael, who besieged the liberals in Porto for a year (July 1832–July 1833). By then enthusiasm for Michael had waned, and António José de Sousa Manuel, duque de Terceira, and Captain (later Sir) Charles Napier, who had taken command of the liberal navy, made a successful landing in the Algarve (June 1833). Terceira advanced on Lisbon, which fell in July 1833, and Michael capitulated at Evora-Monte in May 1834.
Further political strife
The War of the Two Brothers ended with the exile of Michael (June) and the death of Pedro (September 24, 1834). Maria da Glória became queen as Maria II (1834–53) at age 15. While Maria necessarily came under the influence of the successful generals of the civil war, her principal aim was to defend her father's charter (which had been granted by the crown) from those who demanded a "democratic" constitution like that of 1822. In September 1836 the latter, thenceforth called Septembrists, seized power. The chartist leaders rebelled and were exiled, but by 1842 the Septembrist front was no longer united, and António Bernardo da Costa Cabral restored the charter.
In 1846 the movement of Maria da Fonte, a popular rising against higher taxation to improve roads and reforms in public health in which almost all parties joined, put an end to Costa Cabral's government but left Portugal divided between the Septembrists, who held Porto, and Saldanha, now in Queen Maria's confidence, in Lisbon. Saldanha negotiated for the intervention of other members of the Quadruple Alliance (formed in April 1834 by England, France, Spain, and Portugal), and a combined British and Spanish force received the surrender of the Porto junta in June 1847 and ended the war with the Convention of Gramido (June 29, 1847). Saldanha governed until 1849, when Costa Cabral resumed office only to be overthrown in April 1851. Saldanha then held office again for five years (1851–56), and the period of peace finally allowed the country to settle down. This "Regeneration" ended civil strife and established party government.
Maria II was succeeded by Peter V (1853–61), her eldest son by her second husband, Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg. Peter, who married Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen in 1858, showed promise of being a capable monarch but died of typhoid fever on November 11, 1861. His brother Louis (1861–89) seemed to have inherited a country that had recovered from the Napoleonic invasions and from civil wars, political strife, and pronunciamentos (military coups). But, although the main parties were now defined as Historicals (i.e., radicals) and Regenerators (moderates), the alternation of governments gradually ceased to reflect public feeling, and, in the last years of Louis's reign, republicanism began to gain ground.

Special Correspondent
VISAKHAPATNAM: Staging of recording dances during festivals and other programmes in the district has been banned, according to a press release from Superintendent of Police Akun Sabarwal on Saturday.
Mr. Sabarwal said in a press release said that an end must be put to the ugly practice of making women dance in an obscene manner in the name of recording dances and 'dance-baby-dance' shows. The recording dances were banned after it was noticed that they were being staged even during festivals of village goddesses. The dancers as well as the organisers would be arrested, the SP said.
Even those arranging traditional programmes during festivals and celebrations had to obtain permission from the police and they could contact the Deputy SP concerned, he added.

Your cart is empty!
Kit contains: 1 Handle, 3 Razor, 6 Cartridges
Pivoting action for extra closeness with extra-large lube strip consisiting of aloe and vitamin E. Longer ergonomic handle providing optimum shaving control.
Please read all label information carefully on delivery and prior to use.
As title says, I love these blades! I can no longer find them in stores local to me as everything is being replaced with the 4, 5, and 6 blade. I refuse to use others. I don't like the newer blades, how they feel, how they work, nothing. These are my absolute favorite. Thank you My OTC for carrying them!! They don't nick me like others do, even when in a rush!
Helps to shave with out any rashes it gives clean shave with the perfect edge.
Due to the hormonal changes I have experienced as I have aged, I have had to do something about the hair that now grows on my chin and upper lip. I didn't like waxing; it hurt and I didn't like the diplatories because I have sensitive skin. I decided to try shaving. I tried the Schick Silk Effects Plus Razor with Aloe and it does an amazing job. I have very nicks and it shaves really close. I can usually get by with two days before I have to shave again. Unfortunately, I can't find the razor in stores. I can find the blades but not the razor itself. The only problem I can find with the razor is that it will mildew inside it where water sits. I shake it out really well and dry it off then store it standing upside down in the medicine chest cabinet so it will drain and I have no problem. I'm just glad they still make it because I've tried other razors and nothing works as well on my face. I"m thinking of stocking up.
This razor is perfect! You dont need shaving cream and it slides along your skin so smoothly! I loved it within the first minute of using it!
I got my daughter the Schick Intuition when she started to shave I made her a little gift basket and this razor is by far her favorite thing that was in her basket. ps I have used it for years and love it .

12 November 2013 03:29 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--China's CNOOC and Shell Petrochemicals Co (CSPC) has shut its 320,000 tonne/year monoethylene glycol (MEG) unit in Guangdong province on 10 November because of mechanical issues, a company source said on Tuesday.
The restart date for the unit was not immediately available.
However, some market players said that the unit is expected to restart soon and the relatively short shutdown period would have a limited impact on the market.
The MEG spot prices were assessed at $1,034-1,042/tonne (€776-782/tonne) CFR (cost & freight) CMP (China Main Port) on 11 November, $1-6/tonne higher than prices on 8 November, which was mainly supported by the rising trades in the electronic trading market, according to ICIS.

This novella was originally written in June 2012 as part of a blogathon to raise awareness and money for the Secular Student Alliance. The original 36 chapters were posted on line at a rate of approximately one per hour. I was especially inspired by the dedicated service of my friend, Sarah Moglia, who thanks to that fundraiser now sports a Mohawk. When you finish the novel you will understand that there is a connection between the novel itself and that event.
The blogged version was a rough first draft, and this version has been significantly revised.
This electronic edition lacks figures; the print version has two maps. The maps are not essential to the reading experience, but if you would like to see them, please visit gregladen.com/blog/sungudogo/
Many of the non-English terms used in this book come from Bantu languages, and are best pronounced using the simplest long-form of the vowels. So, there is no "sun" or "son" in "Sungudogo." It is pronounced "Soon Goo Doh Goh." Other terms are Central Sudanic or French and so don't follow the long-form vowel rule. "Sombe" is "Som Bey," and "Lese" is "Less Eh." But really, you are just going to find your own pronunciations and use them in your head so it does not matter.

Mark Antony Owen is an English poet writing in syllabic metre. His work draws on that world where the countryside bleeds into what we think of as suburbia. He calls this world 'subruria'.
Applying a dark filter to his experiences of subrural life, Mark builds economic poems around small details; shifts from the personal to the general, recollection to observation – each poem in one of nine self-developed forms, sometimes with variations.
Mark lives and writes in subrural East Hampshire.

Masks, Accents and Bugs: Things That Inspired Marlon Brando
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
Susan L. Mizruchi finds a side of Marlon Brando others have missed—he collected four thousand books; rewrote scripts, trimming his lines to make them sharper; consciously used his body and the objects around him to create believable characters; and used his fame to promote Indian rights and Civil rights. In her book Brando's Smile: His Life, Thought, and Work Mizruchi looks at Brando's life, letters, audiotapes, and annotated screenplays and books to show how Brando's embrace of foreign cultures and outsiders led to brilliant performances in unusual roles.
Guests:Susan L. Mizruchi
Comments [3]
... just a hint here, BRANDO got his whole idea for that inimitable diction from Gabriel Dell in ANGELS WASH THEIR FACES, and ANGELS ON DRESS PARADE (with ironically Bonita Granville(NANCY DREW HERSELF)!!-- You go and see and I'll comment further later---pk==ps **This writer is the flesh and blood cousin of BERNARD PUNSLEY-the last of the surviving original DEAD END KIDS-!I purpiosely never commented with the dipstick NY Times obituary that was full of errors-11 years ago-( thats life--)- I've commented previously within this venue before..)
Brando "stole" from them? You mean they no longer had their teachings?
Brando copied/learned from them.
Stella and Lee were the two teachers who visited Stanislawski in Russia. Each came back with their own version of his teachings... as Stanis' meant it to be. Then Stella and Lee competed until their deaths about who got it right. They both did. Brando just stole from them both and came up with his version of the Method... as it should be.

Black Aviator BluBlocker Sunglasses-Nikki Sixx Edition - 2701NS
Nikki Sixx Limited Edition!
Nikki Sixx, one of the most recognizable and respected rock musicians in the world, recently discovered the BluBlocker technology and is so impressed he wants to share the shades and spread the word!. This special LIMITED edition of our classic Aviator style was personally chosen for his fans by Nikki for their style, wearability, construction and technology, and it's the same style he chose for himself.
Nikki also wanted something special for his fans so he designed an exclusive BluBlocker collectors box - a one of a kind special offer.
The origins of BluBlocker® Sunglasses started with the NASA space program. Astronauts needed strong protection for their eyes in outer space where ultraviolet rays were much stronger than on earth. Nikki loves the amber Malenium® lenses that block 100% of the UV light but also 100% of the blue light.
With exceptional visual clarity and sharpness, ultra-light construction, and superior comfort, the ultimate classic BluBlocker sunglasses are great for blocking the sun during summer fun or looking like a rock star while you're hanging out. While blocking harmful ultraviolet rays you will experience unparalleled crisp and clear vision.

|Chick Hicks
|General Information
Green with decals
|Eye Color
Hostile Takeover Bank Racer
Thunder (by Lightning McQueen)
|Series Information
|First Appearance
Chick Hicks is a cocky and self-centered race car, that competes in the Piston Cup racing series that serves as the primary antagonist of the Cars series. Chick is an aggressive racer, that often damages or wrecks other cars in hopes of placing high in the rankings. He is well recognized for the hundreds of stickers that cover his body, as well as the large grille that acts as a mustache.
Hicks is in a three-way tie with The King and Lightning McQueen, and is attempting to win the Piston Cup. His nickname is "The Runner-Up", as he seems to always lose to The King. He also has the reputation of not racing fairly:
Chick Hicks is a racing veteran with a chip on his shoulder, a ruthless competitor who has cheated his way into more second-place finishes than any other car. He's been counting down the seasons to The King's retirement so that he can take over the coveted Dinoco sponsorship, but he never expected such fierce competition from hot shot rookie Lightning McQueen.
In Lightning McQueen's worst nightmares not only does Chick Hicks win the Piston Cup, but he wins over Dinoco as well.
Chick's primary sponsor is the Hostile Takeover Bank (htB). His car number is 86, which refers to the year Luxo, Jr. was released.Chick ties with The King and Lightning in the Piston Cup championship, forcing the three racers to compete in a tiebreaker race. Chick later mocks McQueen on winning the Piston Cup and sponsorship of Dinoco. Lightning retaliates by nicknaming Chick "Thunder" due to that thunder always comes after lightning, much to Chick's intense annoyance. He, however, later shows off with this new nickname after Lightning disappears in Radiator Springs, wooing his fans and stealing Lightning's. He makes numerous attempts to force Lightning out of the final race, only to be outrun by him in spite of it. He intentionally sideswipes The King during the final lap, making him spin out of control and crash. When Lightning sees what has happened to The King, he stops before crossing the finish line and goes back to help The King across the line. This allows Chick to win first place and the Piston Cup. But nobody cheers him on, instead cheering on Lightning for helping The King. The fans then turn on Chick, causing him to make a quick getaway with his trophy and making him realize the "Chick era" just ended as soon as it started.
It is unknown what happens to Chick afterwards, but it appears that he has been denied the sponsorship by Dinoco as Tex instead tries to offers it to Lightning for his good sportsmanship.
Cars: The Video GameIn Cars: The Video Game, Chick hired a gang of punk cars to steal Lightning's racing gear out of Mack's trailer during the 2006 season. Lightning confronted Chick at the fourth race, but Chick claimed to know nothing about it. He was later beaten out by McQueen, and lost the season. Chick returned to Radiator Springs to train for the next season, and once again made some new friends who he used to taunt McQueen. Lightning beat Chick at the final race, and he fled back to his hometown.
Chick is also a playable character in arcade mode, unlocked by purchasing him for 10,000 bonus points. His stats are 5 for speed, 4 for acceleration, 3 for handling, and 4 for stability.
Cars: Radiator Springs AdventuresIn Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures, Chick is one of the speeders in Speed Trap where he does not talk. After you win the event, you unlock the Legends Race secret for Chick.
Cars: Race-O-Rama
In Cars: Race-O-Rama, he returns as the main antagonist. He tells McQueen that he and some of his friends are here to win the Race-O-Rama series to shut down the Doc Hudson Racing Academy which he calls pathetic. If he does, everyone would want to come to his racing academy where they will probably learn to cheat. And Mater will have to tow Lightning out of Radiator Springs in shame, and Radiator Springs will belong to him! However, McQueen, having some modifications, won the Race-O-Rama series. Chick then angrily says that he will be back and have revenge.
The World of Cars Online
In The World of Cars Online, Chick appears as an opponent during races at Petroleum City Super Speedway.
Cars 2: The Video GameIn Cars 2: The Video Game, Chick is one of the downloadable characters in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 version that can be purchased.
Disney Infinity
In Disney Infinity, he is the main antagonist of the Cars Play Set. After the "Calibrate GPS" mission is completed, Chick comes into Radiator Springs and stops at Flo's V8 Cafe. He then asks if this is Radiator Springs, before Flo asks if she can get anything for him. Chick asks to start with some jumper cables, and that the town is putting him to sleep. He later leaves after Flo suggests to keep rolling if he won't order anything. He then challenges the player to race against him. After you win, he says that he wants a rematch.He later competes as a random opponent in the races. Before the start of the Radiator Springs International Race Invitation held by Luigi, Chick says to the other racers that he is plotting to win the race and that it will be the "last time you'll be seeing my grill." Francesco Bernoulli, however, states to The King that he almost likes Chick and that he would have said it better. Finn McMissile then states that something suspicious has happened since Chick arrived, saying that Fillmore's fuel has gone missing right before the big race. Chick then replies saying, "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. We gonna get this race started or what?" After the player wins the race, Chick appears with smoke coming out of him. When he asks if he had won, Finn says to him that he's through and will be sent to the impound lot. Ramone, however, explains that he has been looking for a perfect wreck to fix up for "Detail My Dents", and that Chick is "the worst looking car I've ever seen." Flo then agrees with Ramone to paint Chick red with lightning bolts, before they both drag him away. Shocked at being painted like McQueen, Chick asks them to take him to the impound instead.
Chick also appears as a toy box townsperson, that can be unlocked by opening one of the twelve chests, or the vault.
Cars: Fast as LightningIn Cars: Fast as Lightning, Chick Hicks is the third playable character that is unlocked, after earning all four of his stickers by completing Todd Marcus' races. His home is Chick's Pit, which is where he sleeps while the player is away from the game.
He has two unlockable paint jobs, titled Purple Rage and Dinoco. Both can be unlocked with gems, or by earning all of the respective stickers from practice races.
Other Appearances
In Mater Saves Christmas, Chick's latest appearance was around Christmas time 2009 when he and his gang stole tons of goods from the local shops. Chick was then arrested, and it is assumed he is still there with his Piston Cup career ended.
General information
Physical appearanceChick is a 1979 Shyster Cremlin, a car that does not exist. It is based off of and designed after a 1987 Buick Grand National. Chick is painted green, with an 86 paintedon his doors, and has yellow rims. He also has a grille in front, which serves as a mustache.
According to the 2009 Cars Diecast Collectors Guide, Chick has a total of 334 stickers covering his body.
Personality and traitsChick is one of the top three best race cars in the Piston Cup, but only reaches the title by being aggressive to fellow racers by wrecking them and sabotaging them. He has a bad reputation for his rude racing style, but nonetheless does have a great deal of fans.
Chick has attempted to rob McQueen before by hiring the Delinquent Road Hazards, though they are caught by McQueen and arrested.
RelationshipsChick has been shown to have Boost, DJ, Snot Rod and Wingo as allies on several different occassions, such as Cars: The Video Game and the book Mater Saves Christmas. In most of their appearances together, the four tuner cars are working for Chick in some way that harms others, whether it be Lightning, other racers, or Radiator Springs residents and tourists.
Chick is also friends with his team members - Bruiser Bukowski, Wide Chick Pitty, his hauler, Chief Chick, and the rest of his unnamed pitties. Though he was originally friends with El Machismo, Candice, and Stinger, they turned against him and apologized to Lightning for their actions.

California drought hurting case for green energy
Among all the terrible things that California's historic drought promises to bring this year — fallow farm land, dead livestock, more wildfires — there are a couple more nasty treats in store: higher electricity prices and rising greenhouse-gas emissions.
That's because the drought is hammering California's ability to generate electricity from hydroelectric power, which will push the famously green state to burn even more natural gas, which is both pricier and dirtier. It underscores yet again just how vulnerable green energy sources such as hydropower can be to the vagaries of the weather, an issue that will vex not just the United States but also Brazil, China and other countries that have bet heavily on hydropower to run their growing economies.
California's drought is unrelenting. The latest information from the United States Drought Monitor shows more than 98 percent of the state facing some degree of drought; for the first time, nearly 10 percent of the state is deemed to be suffering "exceptional drought," the worst category. Since mid-January, California has been in an official drought emergency, with Gov. Jerry Brown calling for voluntary reductions in water use. But the biggest impacts are yet to be felt.
In a normal year, with average rainfall, California relies quite heavily on electricity generated from hydroelectric dams; hydropower can provide anywhere from one-tenth to one-quarter of the electricity generated in the state. But when the rain and snow stops falling during the relatively short wet season, it doesn't just affect California's ski industry or the rich farmlands of the Central Valley. It chokes the entire water system that underpins the state's dams. Federal monitors show nearly all of California's water resources are essentially half empty. Usually, melting snowpack from the Sierra Nevada provides a shot in the arm for hydropower in the spring and summer, but California's sparse snowpack is currently only 16 percent as deep as it normally is this time of year.
But wait — it gets worse. Since California uses more electricity than it generates, it relies on imports from nearby states, including hydroelectric power from the normally rainy Pacific Northwest. But the drought is also hammering Washington, Oregon and Idaho, where precipitation is in many cases about half the normal level. And that will limit California's ability to fix its own shortfalls. The only easy answer is to use more natural gas, which costs more and is significantly dirtier. "There will be rate impacts, because we'll be using more expensive fuel, and there will be air-quality impacts in terms of greenhouse-gas emissions," Robert Weisenmiller, the chairman of the California Energy Commission, told Foreign Policy. California knows what happens when it has to turn to more natural gas. In 2012 and 2013, thanks to dry years (and the shutdown of one nuclear power station) hydroelectricity's contribution to the electricity mix fell sharply. Gas came to the rescue.
In 2011, California generated about 42 million megawatt-hours of electricity from hydropower, and about 89 million megawatt hours of electricity from natural gas. The next year, hydroelectric generation plummeted to less than 26 million megawatt hours (MWh), while gas-fired generation soared to 121 million MWh. Through November 2013, hydroelectric generation fell even further, though natural-gas generation also slipped.

A projection-type male connector component includes a buttress of insulative polymeric material surrounded by a number of electrically conductive contacts electrically isolated from each other. The male component is designed to mate with an equal number of female cantilever beam contacts. The buttress is provided with a tapered end and the male contacts are bent over this tapered end so that the female contacts touch the male contacts when the male and female contacts are mated rather than the insulative material from which the buttress is made. In this way, excessive wear of the female contacts is avoided.
1. A male connector component comprising:
an electrically insulative substrate having a substantially flat surface;
a buttress including an electrically insulative portion and electrically conductive portions extending substantially perpendicularly from said flat surface of said substrate, said buttress having an octagonal cross-section where said buttress meets said substrate and including a tapered tip having a quadrilateral cross-section;
four electrically conductive contacts forming said conductive portions of said buttress and inset into said insulative portion of said buttress and electrically insulated from each other, said contacts each having a substantially flat surface forming one of the surfaces of said buttress and a bent tip tapering in both width and thickness and inset into one of said buttress tip quadrilateral surfaces such that a surface of said bent tip of said contact is substantially coplanar with said one quadrilateral surface.
2. A male connector component according to claim 1 wherein each of said contacts have a substantially trapezoidal cross-section defined by a shorter side forming a surface of said buttress, a longer side substantially parallel to said shorter side and inset into said moldable material, and sloping sides connecting the ends of said shorter and said longer sides.
The present invention relates generally to electrical interconnect systems and particularly to electrical connector components of such interconnect systems.
Interconnect systems refers generally to the connection of electrical or electronic devices and includes all the components necessary for connection, such as cabling, connectors for attaching cable to circuit boards or another cable, or connectors for directly attaching one component such as a circuit board to another. The present invention concerns itself particularly with projection type connector components wherein a conductive pin, or more typically, an array of a number of conductive pins, are mated with a number of similarly arrayed conductive sockets.
Such connector components may be mated and separated a large number of times and are usually employed to connect electrical cable to a device or another cable or to connect electronic devices, such as circuit boards, directly to one another. It is desirable that such connector components be as small as possible, both to conserve space and for performance reasons. The smaller the connector components the shorter the conductive path within the connector, which generally translates into the ability to transmit electrical signals at higher speeds than a connector having a larger size and longer conductive paths. Small size, however, creates its own problems in terms of the strength of the very small components, the ability to assemble such components and the fact that small, thin components will wear to a point of failure very quickly if care is not taken in their design.
One particular connector design of which applicant is aware achieves small size and high density in a projection-type connector by providing a male connector component having a square projection of electrically insulative material surrounded by four metal contacts in electrical isolation from one another. The four male contacts mate with four cantilever beam contacts arranged to form a square female socket. Each of the male contacts engages one of the beam female contacts to complete an electrical circuit, and thus four connections are achieved at a single projection.
A problem that has been recognized with the connector just described is that the female contacts first touch and slide along the surface of the insulative material forming the projection when the male connector component is mated to the female connector component. The insulative material of the projection is typically rough and abrasive, and thus the sliding motion of the female contacts relative to this material causes rapid wear and early failure of the female contact.
The present invention improves upon the existing male connector component by providing a substrate of electrically insulative material, a buttress extending from the substrate and having a plurality of sides and a tapered tip, a number of electrical contacts supported by the buttress and spaced around the buttress in electrical isolation from each other, wherein each of the contacts includes a body portion having a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to the extension of the buttress from the substrate, the body portion being in contact with the buttress sides, and an end portion bent to overlie the tapered tip of the buttress. By forming the contact over the tapered tip of the buttress, the mating female contact first touches the male contact rather than the material of the buttress and thus wear of the female contact is reduced.
The male contact overlying the buttress preferably tapers both in width and thickness so that the male contact can extend the maximum distance along the tapered tip of the buttress, and thus be as large as possible, without contacting another male contact. The male contact is also preferably molded into the buttress such that a surface of the contact forms a surface of the buttress and the male contact is preferably trapezoidal in cross-section with a shorter side forming the surface of the buttress and a longer side parallel to the shorter side being embedded within the insulative material forming the buttress. The ends of the shorter and longer sides are connected by sloping sides so that the material of the buttress flows around the male contacts and prevents relative movement between the contact and the buttress.
The present invention will be more particularly described with respect to the accompanying drawings, wherein like numbers refer to like parts in the several views, and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a male connector component according to the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a female connector component adapted to mate with the connector component of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the connector component of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of the connector component of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a schematic, cross-sectional view of the connector components at initial contact;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged, cross-sectional view of a portion of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is a schematic, cross-sectional view from the perspective of FIG 5, with the connector components fully mated; and
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of one of the contact structures of the connector component of FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 illustrates a male connector component, generally indicated as 10, which is designed to mate with a female connector component, generally indicated as 12 in FIG. 2. The male connector component 10 includes a body14 which may be formed by any process such as molding or machining, but which is preferably molded of an electrically insulating material forming a substrate 16 and a wall 18 surrounding a number of projection type contact assemblies 20. The contact assemblies include a central, insulative buttress 22 of electrically insulative material surrounded by four electrically conductive contacts 24.
The buttresses 22 are preferably molded as an integral part of the component body 14, but may be constructed separately, either by molding ormachining or similar process, and later attached to the body 14 by any suitable process such as adhesive joining or welding. The material used toform the connector component body 14 and the buttresses 22 may be any conventionally used electrically insulative polymeric material, but preferably is a liquid crystal polymer, and more particularly is a liquid crystal polymer manufactured by Hoescht Celanese and identified as Vectra.The electrically conductive contacts 24 may be formed of beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, brass, tin, gold, palladium, any suitable ally of the foregoing, or any other suitable conductive material. A suitable material is one which exhibits sufficient conductivity to usefully transmit electrical signals and wear and strength characteristics which allow it tosurvive a desired number of assemblies to and separations from the female connector component 12. Preferred materials are beryllium copper, phosphorbronze, brass or another copper alloy plated with tin, gold, palladium or acombination of two or more of the plating materials.
As is best seen in FIGS. 1 and 3, the buttress 22 and contact 24 assembliesare octagonal in cross-section where the buttresses 22 join to the substrate 16 and extend perpendicularly and upwardly from the substrate toa point where the sides slope inwardly to form a tapered tip 26 which is quadrilateral in cross-section. The tapered tip 26 is truncated short of forming a point.
The contacts 24 are four in number and are disposed to overlie alternate faces of the octagonal portion of the buttress 22. At the location where the buttress 22 tapers inwardly, the contacts 24 bend to conform to the slope of the taper. The contacts 24 extend through the substrate 16 of theconnector component body 14 to form terminal ends 28 as may be best seen inFIGS. 5 and 7. The terminal ends 28 afford attachment of the contacts 24 tothe conductors of cables or electronic devices such as circuit boards. The terminal ends 28 may be of any shape which is suitable and necessary to enable connection to a desired device.
The contacts 24 may be inserted through holes in the substrate 16 and simply overlie the buttresses 22, but are preferably molded as an integralpart of the connector component 10 as the body 14 of the component 10 and the buttresses 22 are molded simultaneously. It is also preferred, although not necessary, that the contacts 24 be embedded in the buttresses22 so that the outer surface of each contact 24 forms one of the octagonal sides of the buttress 22. As seen in FIG. 8, the contacts 24 preferably have a trapezoidal cross-section which allows the material of the buttress22 to flow behind the tapered sides of the trapezoidal shape during moldingto lock the contact 24 to the buttress 22 and prevent movement of the contacts 24 away from the buttresses 22.
The contacts 24 are preferably tapered in the transverse direction, as bestseen in FIGS. 1 and 3, so that the bent tips of the contacts 24 can extend more fully toward the end of the buttress 22 without interfering with eachother. For the same reason, the bent tips are preferably coined so that theends taper gradually in thickness from the junction of its straight portionto its end. The thickness taper is best seen in FIGS. 5 and 6 and preferably is such that the end is one-half the thickness of the remainderof the contact 24.
The female connector component 12 is best seen in FIGS. 2 and 4 and is formed of the molded body 30 and four contacts 32 arrayed to correspond tothe position of the four contacts 24 of the male connector component 10 when the male and female connector components 10 and 12 are mated. The contacts 32 are cantilever beams extending from the female connector component 12 and are formed with bent ends 34 to prevent gouging of the male contacts 24 when the two are mated. The contacts 32 are preferably manufactured of the same materials as the male contacts 24, and are preferably molded in place as an integral part of the female connector component 12. The preferred materials for the female connector component 12 correspond to the preferred materials for the male connector component 10.
The reason for providing the tapered, bent tips of the male contacts 24 which overlie the tapered tip 26 of the buttresses 22 is illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6. As the two connector components 10 and 12 approach each other for mating, the first contact is between the ends of the female contacts 32 and the male contacts 24. If the bent end of the male contacts24 did not exist, the female contacts 32 would first touch the insulative polymeric material of the buttress 22. Eventual full mating of the contacts 24 and 32, as shown in FIG. 7, would happen even without the bentportion of the male contacts 24 because the tapered tip 26 of the buttress would cause separation of the female contacts 32 and contact with the malecontacts 24 as the components 10 and 12 are pushed together. However, the insulative material from which the buttresses 22 are formed is very abrasive and would quickly erode any plating on the female contacts 32 andeventually the base material. The bent tips of the male contacts 24 are provided so that initial contact is between the contacts 24 and 32 only, rather than between the contact 32 and the polymeric material comprising the buttresses 22.
The present invention has been described with respect to only a single embodiment. However, many variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, the number of contacts may be any number and the shape of the buttress need not be octagonal. Also, less than all of the available sides of the buttress may have contacts associated with them. The contacts may be formed with curved rather than flat surfaces as shown,and the curvature may be in the transverse or longitudinal direction, or both.

Nelly ft. Chris Brown - Marry Go Round
Artist: Nelly
Featuring: Chris Brown
Producer: Da Internz
Album: M.O.
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 18 votes )
F**king strippers is a lot like riding a carousel: it involves brightly-painted wooden horses and calliope music, lasts three to four minutes, and is best followed up with some delicious, blue cotton candy. At least, that's how it's always worked for me—did I just pull a 2 Chainz and reveal something incredibly weird about my sex life for no good reason? Moving right along, album lead single Marry-Go-Round finds Nelly utilizing the very same crazy analogy as he waxes poetic about a certain shawty's ability to work the pole. Backed by the chattering samples, booming synth-bass and club-ready percussion of Da Internz, the St. Louis hip-pop hitmaker invites us to stand beside him in a boss-like fashion as he watches the titular chick work the pole, showing his appreciation with the help of some boxing metaphors and oddball Biblical allusions. (In a candidate for future "Rap Lines That Make No Sense" inclusion, he gets ready to "Show 'em why they call me Moses, and show 'em my cane (Cain) is able (Abel).") Never a slouch on the guest tip, Chris Breezy echoes the headliner's admiration for Marry on the sung hook. So, readers, how does this selection stack up against the hit singles that preceded 5.0? Debate away—and stay tuned for all the latest on Nelly's M.O. LP, scheduled for release via Universal Republic/Derrty (hopefully) before year's end.

STANFORD, Calif. – For the second consecutive season the California field hockey team opened the year with a neutral site overtime victory at Stanford's Varsity Turf, but the Bears decided to end things a little earlier this time when freshman Alie Zimmer scored her second goal of the game to give the Golden Bears a 2-1 (OT) win against Fairfield Friday afternoon.
Last season, the Bears took Michigan State to double overtime and eventually won the game 2-1 on a penalty shootout. This season, Zimmer, who tied the game at 1-1 with her first goal at 48:20, gave Cal the game-winning goal less than three minutes into the first overtime period with her score at 72:26.
"It's important on so many fronts for us to make sure we know we can get it done wherever we are," Onstead said. "I was unbelievably proud of this group today. It was hot. It was tiring. It was a rough start like any first game of the year, but they were on task, persevered and learned about themselves."
The win improves Cal to 3-0 all-time against the Stags and starts the season off on a strong note.
Fairfield opened the scoring at 26:09 when Anna Burgoyne took a cross from Julie de Paeuw from the left flank and slotted it past redshirt senior Courtney Hendrickson, who finished the game with three saves in the victory. The Stags went into the half with the 1-0 lead despite Cal holding a 9-3 shot advantage and 3-1 penalty corner advantage in what was a half filled with chances for the Bears.
"We had our chances but didn't get them on goal," Onstead said. "At least we're getting better."
Zimmer leveled the playing field 13 minutes into the second half after scoring a ball that was passed by sophomore Nicole Henriksson.
The Bears nearly won the game in the final second of regulation with a cross across the mouth of the goal that just missed the outstretched stick of a Cal attacker on what would have been an empty net.
In overtime, Cal was able to take advantage of a green card given to Fairfield's de Paeuw just 45 seconds into the period. With the two-minute long 7-on-6 advantage, the Bears were able to find the opening they needed when Andrea Earle found Zimmer behind the defense for a 1-on-1 look against Fairfield goalkeeper Caitlin Bennett. Zimmer deked past a charging Bennett and slotted her shot into the goal for the 2-1 victory.
"That's exactly why I wanted Alie to come to school here," Onstead said. "She knows how to find that goal. She did her job!"
Bennett finished with five saves for the Stags. California finished the game with a 16-7 edge in shots.
The Bears return to action Monday morning at 11 a.m. when they take on No. 18 Delaware at Varsity Turf.
