I've been trying to start again doing environments specifically. Whats the best thing to do with an artist trying to learn environments to later be an environmental artist? Keep in mind at the moment I'm only armed with multiple sketchbooks and art pencils lol.My Bloggins

Where are you? Your room? At home? The library? School? Where ever you are, draw your surroundings. Then draw it from four other perspectives. Post on CA for critique. Then do the same for four other places. Then do the same thing, except buy some gauche and paint the environments in your sketchbook doing that.
Study perspective. Seedlings got a good thread on it in the exclusive content section. Then, go look at the environmentoring subforum in the mentoring section.
EDIT: I just checked out your sketchbook. I'm not sure if its representative of where you are artistically, (mines not) but if it is, you need some serious anatomy rehab. Go check out Mentler's threads at the bottom of this post.
Do you Mentler?

Hmmm interesting, never seen that guys work. Definitely good for anatomy.
But in the long run, doesn't help much on the fact of environments.
But thanks nonetheless
As far as the perspective thing, I've done loads of them... Guess I just need to keep on truckin' lol.

The best way to get good at environments is to draw a lot of environments. Draw inside. Draw outdoors. Draw them different ways and at different times of the day. (Morning and evening the shadows are nice and long).

The figure has been good cause it contains so many curves and surfaces that drawing that has translated really well to other subjects.
The short poses have been great cause it enabled me to experiment faster than when drawing environments and look at what worked and what didn't. It also forced me to work through the bad and struggle my way out of a bad series of sketches..
I guess everybody will get something else out of it but I can almost guarantee you that you will go through an intense learning experience and a paradigm shift or two.
Regardless, have fun

Even if you don't have time to go out and paint, some bottles, pots, fruits placed on drapery are basicly miniature environment. You can learn at the same time about light, perspective, materials, composition. That's almost everything you need.

AMR to WAV converter
Dear all,
I have been looking for a Java AMR decoder for a long time. It is not so easy to find something to this subject.
Does anybody know about a java library
- that can be run in the J2ME context, i.e. on mobiles,
- and that converts an AMR stream into a wave curve form signal?
AMR is Adaptive Multi-Rate speech codec, based on CELP (Code Excited Linear Prediction).
Thanks a lot for any help :-)
Hi Oakleaf,
I am confused as to why you would want to convert AMR to WAV on a mobile device.
Usually the media player (MMAPI) can support AMR decoding, at leasts as a H.263/264 RTSP Stream. We would transcode input into a H.263/AMR format using an Apple MacOS software, but I think FFMPEG or VideoLAN should be able to do that on a server or desktop.
1) http://stephenjungels.com/jungels.net/articles/ffmpeg-howto.html
2) http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030826232829387
Running a transcoder on an ME device, I would imagine, would be very slow, and require a great deal of resources to store the information.
Maybe some explaination as to what you are trying to accomplish would help determine the best solution for your issue.
Hey Shawn
the reason for me is: I would like to record an amr file, convert it to a e.g. wav file and then send it with my mobile phone via email to a friend and he'll be able to listen to it right away!
You see men could use such an application :)
Any help is appreciated!
// Chris
Well your friend should have a codec already installed on his desktop that can play it.
The QTime player from Apple supports 3GPP which is what a phone captures.
WinMedia player has this codec available from 3rd parties too, and can be installed to play these files.
If you want or have the codec knowledge to write the converter then go for it.
However a few roadblock will be memory on the device. Remember that a wav file is an uncompressed mp3. While a 3min song is roughly 3M at 128k encoding, but is 35M as a WAV file. Something a bit too large for JavaME enabled cellphones. Oh and that's just audio, for Video too.. well better get a notebook for that. ;)
If I remember correctly I worked on a project where we took videos from cellphones and transcoded them to several formats, it would take a Mac server about a minute to encode a 30sec video..... your cellphone battery may run out before you can complete the encoding.
I use MelodyCan. It is the best, easiest and fastest device i found. You can try it)

N.C. firm gives historic JFG sign illuminating overhaul
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The faded, rusty JFG sign that stood in South Knoxville's skyline for more than five decades is getting a functional and cosmetic overhaul at a Charlotte, N.C., sign company.
Removed from its perch near the Gay Street Bridge in October, the sign was trucked in pieces to SignArt's Old Concord Road 40,000-square-foot facility. Workers at the sign fabrication company are repairing, restoring and refurbishing the steel and neon sign.
It's believed the sign was installed in 1954, said Reily Foods spokeswoman Mary-Wanda Fandino. New Orleans-based Reily bought JFG in 1965. The coffee brand began in 1882 with James Franklin Goodson's Morristown wholesale grocery company.
The coffee got its name and the brand's sign its 14-foot-tall, 11-inch deep "JFG" monogram from Goodson's initials. Under those letters the Knoxville sign's words "SPECIAL COFFEE" were painted on a metal background and then outlined in neon. The sign's third line, done in script, reads "The best part of the meal." That slogan came from a poem written in 1930s by Knoxville teacher Jean Beaman Walker.
SignArt employees found that the sign hadn't worn 50-plus years of dirt, rust and weather well. Some wiring didn't work; some bulb sockets didn't function. Pieces of metal rusted away; lengths of neon no longer shone. The blue backboard was faded. Those big three-dimensional JFG letters had been havens for wasps and birds.
"It was in pretty rough shape," said SignArt General Manager Bill Sundberg. "Over the years, water had gotten into it and rusted out parts of the bottom."
SignArt employees cut away ruined steel pieces and replaced them with new. They replaced worn wiring and bulb sockets. Lots of sanding, primer and paint are being applied to the sign pieces. They found a rich blue shade called "steamboat blue" to paint the sign background and sides of the "JFG" letters. It's a richer version of the faded tint of the placard's last decade. Workers matched the color to the original blue found on a part of the billboard that was protected from the elements.
Eleven-watt bulbs, the newer versions of originals, eventually will be screwed into the hundreds of sockets in the "JFG" initials. The sign's two lines of words will be illuminated with new neon matched as closely as possible to the original blue and red tints.
The restored sign will have a new Knoxville location since its longtime lease at its previous spot expired. It's likely not to move far but is probably go on the hillside of the Kerbela Temple at 315 Mimosa Ave., near the Gay Street bridge. Before that happens the city of Knoxville' zoning ordinance will need to be changed. The city council is to consider a change to allow designation of a landmark or historic sign at its April 5 meeting.
Knoxville has two JFG signs. The second sits atop JFG's former Jackson Avenue roasting facility that's now we JFG Flats apartments.
Even restored, the now dismantled JFG sign will remain the same symbol generations of Knoxvillians have seen. "We are working to keep as much as the original sign as possible," said Sundberg. "I'd say we've saved 90 percent of the original."
SignArt traces its own roots to a company begun in 1910 by a Charlotte sign painter. Today the company produces mostly fabricated aluminum signs; its clients are mostly in the Southeast and include banks, colleges, malls and hospitals.
The business has worked on a few old signs over the years. This is its second JFG sign restoration. It also refurbished one that had shone in Charlotte for years before it lost its lease. Taken down in 2009, that sign is being installed in a new Charlotte location this summer.
But renovating old metal signs isn't the company's main business. "We certainly don't seek this out," said Sunberg. "It's not something fabricators are dying to get their hands on."
Signs really aren't made like this anymore. New bulbs and neon sound simple. But in the era of LED lighting, 11-watt bulbs aren't used. And neon today is used more as a sign accent than to outline two lines of large letters. Computer technology and machinery now design sign lettering. The JFG sign's Special Coffee" and "Best Part of the Meal" were hand-drawn and hand-painted on the placard's metal background. So SignArt employees will hand letter and hand-paint them again.
Workers pieced the background, separated into sections for its trip from Knoxville, together shortly after the sign arrived last fall. They traced the sign letters on large pieces of white paper. Last month employees Ed Pace and George "G.A." Albansoder punched hundreds of tiny holes in the lines of the traced letters. Their work created templates that will be used to recreate the sign letters as perfectly - or imperfectly - as they were done half a century earlier.
"We are going to duplicate exactly what was there," said Sundberg. "So they are only going to be as good as they were before."
The restoration will cost "tens of thousands of dollars," said Fandino. An earlier published estimate of $40,000 "isn't far off," she said.
"We are spending the money on being a part of Knoxville and Knoxville history. We are a brand that was started in Knoxville," she said. "We are part of the city's history and the sign is a visible part of it."

Williams moves on at US Open; teary Errani exits
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK – The considerable gulf between No. 1 Serena Williams and No. 4 Sara Errani was hard to ignore in their back-to-back matches Thursday at the U.S. Open.
Williams, seeking her 17th Grand Slam title and second straight at Flushing Meadows, brushed off an ungainly slide onto her backside en route to a typically easy second-round victory, 6-3, 6-0 over Galina Voskoboeva in half-full Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Barely worth talking about by Williams' standards: "I'll have to think about it and see what I can do better," she said, "but it was OK."
Only an hour before on the same court, a much different scene: Errani imploded in a 6-3, 6-1 loss to fellow Italian, 83rd-ranked Flavia Pennetta. Then, while tears welled up in her eyes, Errani conceded that she's struggling to handle her high ranking and the high expectations that have come with that.
"My problem isn't that I lost," Errani said. "My problem is trying to find the desire to fight and be on the court ready to fight. For a few weeks, I haven't felt like I wanted to be on the court.
That's the problem."
That concession was the most unexpected development on Day 4 of the U.S. Open, where the tournament got back on track after a rainy Wednesday that postponed eight women's matches and shuffled the lineups.
Williams got through her win unscathed, and when she was done in Ashe Stadium, five-time champion Roger Federer, the seventh seed, dispatched Carlos Berloq 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 in 1 hour, 35 minutes.
"It's one of those matches I expect myself to win if possible in straight sets and gain confidence in the process," Federer said. "All those things happened, so, yeah, I'm pleased about it."
No. 4 David Ferrer overcame an error-filled second-set tiebreaker to beat Roberto Bautista Agut 6-3, 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-2, while second-seeded Victoria Azarenka had no trouble in defeating Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada 6-3, 6-1 to breeze into the next round in the women's draw.
Williams was pushed only briefly against Voskoboeva, ranked 77th from Kazakhstan.
Serving at game point trailing 5-3, Voskoboeva drew Williams to the net, and as Williams reached for the ball, her feet slid out from under her and she fell hard onto her backside, her racket slamming to the ground. Before she fell, however, she reached the shot to win the point.
Two points later, she closed out the set.
The second set took all of 27 minutes. When it was over, Williams was sitting at the same table where Errani had cried earlier, being asked how she would advise the Italian, who said she was "destroyed by the pressure" of returning to the French Open this year, where she followed up her 2012 appearance in the final with a run to the semifinals.
"I really wouldn't know what to say," Williams said. "I can only say that I think she's doing a good job. I mean, sometimes you have a tough day at the office, and it doesn't mean that you don't handle the pressure well."

Inksmith & Rogers 30th Anniversary
By Deb Yarian Early in my tattoo career, I was blessed by the friendship and mentorship of Eric Inksmith and the late legendary Paul Rogers. At a time when secrets of the trade were highly guarded, their willingness to share their knowledge with others was a rare commodity. It was that, their shared love of tattooing, and their hospitable natures that drew travelers from all over the globe to the first Inksmith and Rogers shop that Eric and Paul opened in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1984. Three decades later, those same qualities are what drew me and hundreds of fellow tattooers, friends and their families back to Jacksonville for a two day celebration of their 30th anniversary. Paul passed away in 1990 but hosts, Eric Inksmith, Mike Wilson, and Angelo Miller succeeded in carrying on in that same spirit of generosity during the two day event. Inksmith and Rogers consists of five shops now, spread across the city, home to more than 25 devoted tattooers known throughout the tattoo world for their bold, colorful, beautifully executed tattoos. Throughout both days of the celebration resident and guest artists tattooed at all of the I & R locations. People lined up for hours waiting to get tattooed by Eric, many hoping to get The signature Inksmith and Roger's smile and a "30" year mark. Their flagship shop's large outdoor area resembled a carnival midway festooned with tents and flower covered tables. Guests, Philadelphia Eddie and Bowery Stan Moskowitz manned a table, selling their ... Read More »
10 of the world's best Japanese tattoo artists: pt2- Horiyoshi III
This is Part 2: Horiyoshi III – 10 of the world's best Japanese style tattoo artists. -Horiyoshi III (no connection to Horiyoshi II, from the last post), is Yoshihito Nakano of Yokohama, Japan, and is our featured artist today. Horiyoshi the 3rd is perhaps THE most respected and celebrated tattoo artist in Japan's history. His work is admired and studied by experts, artists and collectors worldwide, and with more than a dozen books available on Horiyoshi's life and work, it's easy to understand why he is unarguably considered the preeminent Japanese tattoo master of this or any era. His work is EPIC! Beautiful! And Groundbreaking! While still remaining rooted in centuries of tradition. It was during the first year of Tattoo Artists Magazine's existence that I found myself given the sudden chance to travel to Japan and meet this legendary tattooer, Horiyoshi III. TAM was still brand new at the time, so having a friend send along my request to Horiyoshi, asking to feature him and his work in the new magazine project opened up the chance of a lifetime- an invitation to come visit Horiyoshi's studio and museum. It would be the realization of a lifelong dream to see Japan, (having become obsessed with Japanese art, history and lore as a young child after watching the mini-series "SHOGUN" on television, and then discovering the amazing filmography of Akira Kurosawa and books of translated Japanese legends by Lufcadio Hearn in my teen years!) Hell yeah! I could NOT have been more excited! Thanks to the help of our ... Read More »
10 of the World's BEST Japanese style TATTOO ARTISTS: pt1
Over the next few weeks we're going to pay tribute to Japanese-themed tattoos and the contributions of 10 Tattoo Artists widely considered to be some of the BEST IN THE WORLD. For an ever-increasing number of tattoo collectors (and artists alike), Japanese-styled tattoos are appreciated as the most sophisticated and visually pleasing style of tattooing, today. Though known about since the late 1800s, the popularity of Japanese tattoos in the United States, Europe and around the globe has really only expanded exponentially since the 1960s, prior to this time very few people could understand the depth to these expressions of ink in skin- historically or mythologically. Tattooing is a visual art form, however, and Japanese tattoo work has always had an incomparable effect on even untrained eyes. Just imagine early westerners traveling to a strange land, months at sea, stepping off and seeing such decorated warriors! The history of Japanese tattooing and the mythological roots of its powerful yet elegant imagery are deep topics of study and the daunting pursuit of many modern professional artists and scholars, alike. The myths represented in these tattoos and Japan's rich history of tattooing are subjects for future blog posts, but for our purposes, now, let us trace the various Japanese styles of tattooing, today, back to but a few primary influences- starting with (perhaps, surprisingly to some) the pioneering work of American master, Sailor Jerry Collins and his correspondence with Tattooers around the globe. There are reasons Norman Collins (aka Sailor Jerry) is so respected by the tattoo community, not the ... Read More »

The Canvases Walk in the Door: A Brooklyn Tattoo Parlor Popular with foreigners
By Carroll Gardens Source: www.nytimes.com The brownstone-lined streets of Carroll Gardens may not seem like much of a tourist destination. But brand Brooklyn is ascendant these days, and foreigners come to idle at farm-to-table restaurants and browse in fanciful boutiques.And farther south, where affluence gives way to aluminum siding and Smith Street dead-ends under the din of the Gowanus Expressway, visitors come for a more permanent souvenir: authentic Brooklyn ink. On a recent Thursday, Yossy Yoshino, 35, a tattoo artist from Japan, lay face down on a massage table at Smith Street Tattoo Parlour while Dan Santoro, 31, inscribed a pig in a bikini on his back ("three tops, one for each set of teats," Mr. Santoro explained). The words "Weird World" floated above the pig's head. Mr. Yoshino, a teardrop tattoo dripping from his eye, said he had traveled thousands of miles from his home in Okinawa to get a "New York tattoo." Just what makes a New York tattoo can be a bit difficult to pin down. The shop's owner, Bert Krak, 35, described the parlor's style as traditional American, with a bit of Japanese thrown in.

For Restless Pioneer of Modern Tattoo Art, a Life Beyond Ink
By David Gonzalez Source: www.nytimes.com Visitors to the cluttered studio inside Thom DeVita's Victorian house marvel at the artwork that covers the walls, his drawing table, even his hands. The images reflect not just his interests, but his skills, which he honed as a tattoo artist on the Lower East Side for some 30 years; a storied era to aficionados. The accomplishment was all the more remarkable because it was illegal in New York City at the time. Nowadays, it seems everybody has a tattoo. If there is someone to thank for the art's increased acceptance and visibility, it might be Mr. DeVita. Every month, Chris Grosso brings admirers up to visit the old master, in Newburgh, the upstate town where he has lived since leaving the Lower East Side in the early 1990s. "He is one of the founders of modern tattooing," said Mr. Grosso, who befriended Mr. DeVita two years ago while filming a documentary about him. "It's not what you see on reality television, but something that only he and seven other people in the 1960s started, from purely a love for the art form. He wasn't from a sailor or biker background, where tattooing comes with the territory. They appreciated the great Japanese masters, the people from Samoa. Thom was at the forefront of that." Growing up in East Harlem, the son of Italian immigrants, Mr. DeVita did not set out to be an artist. After high school, he worked at various jobs, from factory hand to ... Read More »
A Treasure Trove of Antique Tattoo Flash is Found in Corpus Christi
By Craig Hlavaty Source: www.blog.chron.com Long before tattoos were the subject of reality show after reality show and people like Justin Bieber sported ink, tattoos were the milieu of sailors, soldiers, Marines, and maybe circus folk. This weekend, Peveto Art Gallery will display 20 sheets of historic tattoo flash art that were recently found in an abandoned house in Corpus Christi. According to gallery owner Scott Peveto, the flash looks to be over 100 years old. The items were rescued from a Dumpster by a man who cleans out houses that are tagged to be torn down. "I've spent enough time with them to know they are real," said Peveto. The sheets are water and nicotine-stained and more than likely were originally displayed on the walls of a tattoo shop for customers to choose pieces from. The art is on heavy illustration board and shows signs of wear from push pins. Artist names are included on most. "The majority of them are by the same artist," said Peveto. You can really pinpoint the ones that don't quite go with the others. Peveto is looking to sell half the lot at a public unveiling of the exhibit Saturday night at his Montrose gallery. He said he is going to ask around $2,000 per sheet. The exhibit opens at 6 p.m. Peveto said the work predates the art of Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, who made his name tattooing sailors, rebels, and rogues. Sailor Jerry's name is now on rum bottles, art galleries, dorm posters, baby ... Read More »
Nick Hooker's Tattooed 1940s
By Anni Irish A recent animated film featured on Vanity Fair's website in their "Through the Decades" series showcases artist Nick Hooker's tattoo inspired interpretation of the 1940s. The short four minute film highlights several historical events from the 1940s and is done in an Americana tattoo style. The film opens with a shot of a vintage radio that is placed next to a bottle marked "xxx". In the background there are various tattoo inspired images which are framed. The radio is on and we hear what seems to be a speech FDR being given in regards to World War II. Over the radio address the sound of a tattoo machine buzzes and the camera pans out to a reveal simple sign that says "tattoos". The shot widens and various flash tattoo designs become visible and the room is transformed into a tattoo parlor. An Uncle Sam type tattoo artist is tattooing sparrows onto a patron who has a larger ship and American flag scene on their stomach and chest. The image quickly shifts again. Within this shot the framed flash tattoo designs become the object of focus. It is within the confines of the framed tattoo images where Hooker's depiction of the 1940s comes to life. An important element to Hooker's representation of the 1940s is his emphasis on the history of tattooing. Hooker showcases this by making the link between tattooing and sailors as well as their presence within freak show and circus culture. Tattoo artists such as Professor Charlie ... Read More »

PMS season hits government
Monday - 11/28/2011, 2:00am EST
Legend has it that each year during the health insurance open season scores of federal civil servants lose control at the office. They get depressed or cranky. People try to avoid them. Some must be restrained, then sedated and sent home accompanied, sometimes, by a sympathetic coworker. It is unofficially known as Plans Make Sick, or PMS.
PMS does not differentiate between people because of their age, race, sex, color, creed or grade level. It strikes young and old, active and retired, alike. You may have it and not know it!
Between now and Dec. 12, government workers, retirees and survivor annuitants must pick their 2012 health plan. Most people do nothing, and (unless their plan is leaving the program) they remain in the same plan year after year.
The "problem" for feds and postal workers is one lots of private sector workers would welcome. Government workers typically have about 20 plans and options to chose from. The government will pay about 70 percent of the total premium for white collar workers and retirees. The U.S.Postal Service, under its union contract, pays an even greater share of employee (but not retiree) premiums.
Picking a health plan is similar to — but a lot more important than — buying a car. You decide what you are willing to pay and the options you want. In the case of health insurance you want one with good catastrophic coverage in the event you are hit with a serious illness of accident. It is also good to have a plan whose network of preferred providers includes your doctor.
Between now and the end of open season we'll have a series of columns on the "best buys" as rated by Consumers Checkbook. Its health insurance expert Walton Francis will provide the ratings. He was our guest last week on our Your Turn radio show and he will be on again this Wednesday. Many agencies have subscribed to the online version of Checkbook. That means you don't have to pay for it yourself, and you can do your shopping at work.
Meantime, here's a quick checklist to help you pick your best buy:
- HMOs typically have lower costs than traditional fee-for-service plans. Checkbook says that in the Washington area, for example, HMOs like Kaiser Mid-Atlantic Standard option, CareFirst BlueChoice High option, and Aetna Open Access Basic option will save the typical family more than $1,500 compared to the most popular plan, Blue Cross Standard option.
- When it comes to good service — that is, the claims disputes — Checkbook rates Blue Cross and SAMBA plans at the top. It says that APWU and Mail Handlers have dispute rates that are twice as high.
- The NALC plan got top marks for quality service.
- Although its prescription benefit is weak, Checkbook says, the GEHA Standard option with its lowe premiums is highly recommended for retirees with Medicare.
- Because the government pays the lion's share of it insurance premiums many agencies want their employees to be educated consumers. That's why many have subscribed to the online version of Checkbook. To see if you can get free access through your agency, visit: GuideToHealthPlans.org>

First batch of Chinese students to arrive in December
COIMBATORE: A Memorandum of Agreement was signed between Bharathiar University and Huaihua University, China, here on Thursday, to facilitate Chinese students to pursue higher education at Bharathiar University.
A five-member team from the Huaihua University visited Bharathiar University to finalise details regarding Chinese students pursuing courses in English, Linguistics and Computer Science.
The team was headed by Xia li fa, Chancellor and president, Huaihua University.
The others included Tan Wei Ping, vice-president, Deng Shi Song, Dean of Administration, Xiaoyue, Staff – Foreign Affairs Office and G. Somasundaram, Associate Professor of English.
They spent three days from November 13 checking various infrastructure.
The university will, as a special case, offer degree courses in English and Computer Science to Chinese students.
The first batch will have 100 students. They will come to India under the 'twinning programme' (two year study in China and the third year to be completed in India).
The agreement was signed between Bharathiar University Vice-Chancellor G. Thiruvasagam and Chancellor of Huaihua University Xia li fa.
"Information Technology is coming up in a big way in China. Everyone wants to learn English. There are not many there to teach. They welcome such invitations to study in universities located outside their country. This university has decided to collaborate with us", Dr. Thiruvasagam said. The first batch of Chinese students would arrive in December and classes would begin in March 2008. The curriculum would be updated and made more useful to include communication skills and functional English.
A separate hostel would be made ready to house them.
A Chair to promote Indian heritage, culture and fine arts would be set up at the Huaihua University, while its counterpart would be set up at Bharathiar University to promote Chinese heritage, culture and fine arts.

Starting up a technology company can mean long hours and short paychecks and now many entrepreneurs are adding another headache: picking through the minefield of patent lawsuits. Call them patent trolls or patent assertion entities (PAE), by any name they are still companies that don't invent or manufacture anything but make money monetizing patents. And they are the bane of entrepreneurs like Austin Meyer, maker of the flight simulator application X-Plane, Todd Moore, head of TMSOFT, and Kate Doerksen, head of the online eyeglass company DITTO.The patent litigation problems follow a similar pattern: a company that has bought a patent sends a letter demanding money to license...

Reintroducing Efficient Energy Savings
April 06, 2015
Four years ago, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a final rule that imposed blanket third-party certification requirements for all products applying for participation in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR program. Unfortunately, the rule failed to recognize successful and existing industry programs and has increased the regulatory burden on manufacturers, as well as the cost of testing for manufacturers and the federal government. Earlier this year, Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) reintroduced the ENERGY STAR Regulatory Improvement Act (HR-175). This legislation would provide an alternate option to the ENERGY STAR program's third-party certification...

Leading Women in Technology Part II
February 10, 2015
Women in CE talk candidly about gender, innovation and starting their own companies. Perhaps Sarah Wood, the young founder of Unruly, a company focused on online advertising, says it best: "Women are generally seen as either too nice or they're too bossy, caught in a lose-lose situation." Her advice? "Let's move on—we spend too much time worrying about what people are saying about us. Don't think about the myths; thinking about them will hold you back. Just think about choosing the right company to work for and then doing an excellent job." For Wood, as well as these other women, it's not necessarily about finding that so-called...
Evolving Social Media
February 04, 2015
Jared Bridegan, CEO and founder of Mezy, originally came up with the idea for his social media app as a way to solve the problem of texting while driving. Mezy has since evolved into much more. With functions like geo-hidden content and looping videos, Mezy aims to be the "next evolution of social media."What inspired you to create Mezy? When I originally came up with the idea for Mezy it was to solve the problem of texting while driving. When I was in college, I would drive to class every day and my wife would always text me. I played around with the idea of sending a message to a place, and then when that person arrived, they'd be able to receive the message instead...
Ridesharing: Disruptive Innovation
February 02, 2015
By Tamara Lytle Austan Goolsbee, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, walked out of an inaugural ball in the cold wee hours of January 2013 looking for a ride. With many Washington streets shut to traffic, it might have been an impossible task. But he had something more powerful than a loud whistle or a hand to hail a taxi with. He had a smartphone to connect him with a driver who could tell him where to meet. Uber, Lyft, Sidecar, Bandwagon and other companies have taken the sharing economy into the transportation world to solve problems like Goolsbee's. Line at the...

With more than 25 stores spread across Wisconsin and Illinois alone, Milwaukee-area drivers don't ever have to worry about finding a reliable spot to swap out old oil and air filters, top off fluids, change out a belt, or even replace wiper blades.1610 N Wisconsin St.Port Washington, WI US
Apex AutosportsRead MoreHelmed by a pair of local muscle-car enthusiasts, Apex Autosports restores freshly minted speedsters and tottering jalopies alike to their pinnacles of performance and aesthetics with a full range of services. During the 3?4-hour detailing, the Apex crew meticulously removes built-up grime and clouds of chrome-eating bats from every fender nook and door cranny with an exterior hand wash. Next, an interior detailing shampoos carpets and de-gunks surfaces so that moss-covered dashboards are once again distinguishable from fuzzy dice. To keep cars from falling apart during daily jaunts to the pet store for more whale food, an Apex mechanic will subject steel steeds to an exacting mechanical inspection that identifies issues before they pupate into problems. For optimal service, Apex recommends that customers drop off grungy autos the night before so technicians can start work immediately at 7 a.m. the next day.2076 1st AveGrafton, WI US

Apartment Vacha Vogtgasse reviews
- April 2013
- Venere Guest

- Chile
The apartment was quite charming, very clean and had everything we needed for our holidays. I suggest that in the future, the owner sends someone to greet the passenger(s), inform on transportation facilities nearby, and most important, verify if the guest fully understands how to open the entrance doors to the flat. We did receive the code number but the overall procedure was somewhat confusing. Another aspect, Linzerstrasse and Mitisgasse should be indicated in the map provided to the guests, as Vogtgasse is a secondary street. Finally, there is a telephone but it cannot be used as there are no instructions in English as to how it operates.

Fiji sevens coach Ben Ryan is pictured with members of the Uprising Rugby Club in Deuba yesterday. Picture: ELIKI NUKUTABU
The Fiji sevens players have impressed national coach Ben Ryan during the opening training session at the Uprising Beach Resort grounds in Pacific Harbour yesterday.
Ryan said he was pleased with the fitness of all players, especially the new inclusions.
New players such as Marika Vunibaka, Eroni Sau, Manoa Tamaya, Vatemo Ravouvou and Viliame Mata were part of the session.
Making a return in the team were Levani Botia, Apisai Domolailai, Henry Seniloli, Jasa Veremalua and Meli Kurisaru.
"I'm happy with them today (yesterday)," Ryan said.
"Their fitness is OK, they dropped a few balls in the start which is fine as they get to know each other.
"The fitness is OK, it's pretty humid and hot."
The former England coach said he would build on the players' fitness during the next few days.
He added he did not expect players to be super fit at yesterday's training session.
"I don't expect them to be super fit, that takes a month to get there but they looked good and they will be in good shape by the end of the week."
The national side will go through two sessions for the remaining days at camp.
"Today (yesterday) we will focus on recovery, two sessions tomorrow (today) and then for the next three days double sessions, double sessions, and double sessions," he said after the side's training yesterday afternoon.
"This week it will be high intensity training, hard work to get fitness in their legs and work combinations."
The side breaks camp on Friday.
