My mommy doesn't like him because he has long hair.
My daddy doesn't like him. He says he heard him swear.
He's a bad boy, but I don't care.— The Holy Modal Rounders, "Bad Boy"
To get a couple of things out of the way at the top : Eric Fischl isn't all that bad, either as a painter or a person. As a smart-ass conceptual artist friend of mine (who has no particular affection for the dauber's craft) points out, "He can move it around." But before I get to Fischl's recent memoir,* this personal anecdote:
My wife, Laurie Fendrich, teaches at a university that, in 2006, organized a symposium about the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. She invited Eric Fischl, whose commemorative bronze sculpture, Tumbling Woman , had met with great protests and ultimately a rejection, to participate. He did, for free. The school scheduled several simultaneous sessions, so that the audience for the Fischl panel was much smaller than it should have been, and, moreover, the tech stuff got screwed up so that the artist was unable to project images from his computer. But he took the snafu like a trouper and, afterwards, over a cup of coffee, waxed calm and philosophical about the whole event. A real gentleman, she said.
For those who haven't followed particularly closely the dramatis personae in the art world's metamorphosis from, at the end of the 1970s, a late-stage academic dole, with avant-garde artists ensconced as securely salaried teachers in every college across the fruited plain, to the hyper-moneyed reincarnation of vaudeville it is today—Eric Fischl is one of America's most successful contemporary serious figurative painters. His calling card has been, as Fischl himself says of one of his most famous pictures, Sleepwalker , 1979 (a pubescent boy standing and masturbating in a wading pool), a "queasy sense of voyeurism." This, plus one of the best brushstrokes in the business, has made his work a hot item—sexier than the dependable carpentry of Philip Pearlstein or the cool verisimilitude of William Beckmann—and signature features are what set him apart from his c. 1980 rocket-to-stardom painting cohort, Julian Schnabel and David Salle. Although, looking back, Fischl is a little uneasy about how—and why—it all shook out, he's hardly apologetic about his $350,000 per picture good fortune:
I'm not an ivory tower artist. I understood the value of building a career and getting my work out in front of the public. I was grateful for the recognition I'd gotten. And I was glad not to be poor. I'd worked hard all my adult life, sometimes at two or three jobs. I didn't complain when money was scarce. I refused to feel guilty now that my pictures were selling for six figures.
Born in Manhattan in 1948, Fischl was raised in the Long Island suburb of Port Washington. His father, Karl, was a salesman for an industrial filmmaker and his mother, Janet, as per the norm of the times, was a stay-at-home housewife with, eventually, four kids: (in order) Holly, Eric, Laurie, and John. The elder Fischl's friends were "bridge players, yacht clubbers," and they all put their tootsies on the edges of suburban marital hijinx. At parties, the husbands and wives would take turns standing as a group behind a sheet hiding everything but their legs while the spouses tried to spot their particular mates. Mrs. Fischl was also a "ferocious alcoholic," a condition partially responsible for Eric's being sent off to boarding school in Maryland. While he was there, his mother's concurrent emphysema prompted Karl to relocate the family to Phoenix.
Reluctant to return to the fractious family fold, young Eric instead traveled to San Francisco to experience that 1967 Summer of Love—i.e., to live in a crappy apartment with people he didn't really like and do a lot of acid. Back in Arizona, he started taking art classes at the state university in Tempe and applied, rather ingenuously, to the California Institute of the Arts, the...

All my best ... take care ....
I know you said no comments but I have to say this. Take care & take it easy. I'm sure we'll be here when you get back. Best of luck on your journey.
Posting anyway, Cray . Be well and know prayers are with you and yours, always.
So sudden..
Hope everything is ok.
Hope everything is ok.
I hope everything is OK hon? Hopefully your just in need of some time away and we will see your smiling face when your rested and refreshed! Good luck with your work and happy painting hon!
Enjoy already looking forward to your return
Will, miss you
No comments? Sorry.. I guess you should have just said you were going on hiatus like everyone else. Geeze, lately so many artists are up and dissapearing. this sucks.
Wow, this is so sudden. Did someone offend you or hurt you here? Or is a matter of no time for the people here who love you and your art?
It feels very empty when a fellow artist that many love and respect....suddenly says "I won't be doing this with you guys any more"
Is there anything we can do?
(Sorry about the comment)
I'm not sure what is going on lately... it's like an epidemic. I understand they have other things to do, etc, but you could just leave for a bit without seeming like you're running away or upset. I've been here for almost 10 years and have seen many wonderful artists just up and disappear one day. Usually they delete everything, but luckily, Crayon isn't. Still. It's sad.
Hopefully she's ok and no one got mean with her and scared her off... trolls online are def. one reason to want to quit
We will miss you, Christine.
well bah.. and humbug...
I know you said to leave no comments...but....
I'm going to miss you sweetie I hope everything is okay and I want you to know that I'll be thinking about you and I love you
I'm going to miss you sweetie I hope everything is okay and I want you to know that I'll be thinking about you and I love you

MENTOR's web site to find mentoring opportunities in your
January 1, 2007, marked the launch of the sixth annual National Mentoring Month (NMM) campaign—a public-private initiative to recruit volunteer mentors to help at-risk youth achieve their full potential. This nationwide drive to recruit volunteer mentors for young people targeted America's adult volunteers to "Pass it on. Become a Mentor."
National Mentoring Month 2007 was spearheaded by the Harvard Mentoring Project of the Harvard School of Public Health, MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
As a highlight of this year's campaign, the Harvard Mentoring Project and the Harvard School of Public Health honored legendary music producer and humanitarian Quincy Jones as the first-ever Mentor of the Year.
President George W. Bush and leading governors and mayors across the nation participated in the campaign. Top Hollywood stars, athletes, and journalists also took part, including: Maya Angelou, Clint Eastwood, Quincy Jones, Sting, and Victoria Rowell. The campaign's national media partners included CBS Television, Comcast, Fox Broadcasting, NBC Television, National Association of Broadcasters, Time Warner Cable, and Viacom Outdoor. As a highlight of this year's campaign, Quincy Jones was honored as "Mentor of the Year" by the Harvard School of Public Health.
During January 2007, more than 100,000 people visited www.WhoMentoredYou.org (the website of the Harvard Mentoring Project), www.mentoring.org (the web site of MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership), www.nationalservice.org (the website of the Corporation for National and Community Service) and www.bbbsa.org (the web site of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America) to find out more about mentoring opportunities in their area.
In January 2002, the Harvard Mentoring Project of the Harvard School of Public Health and MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership spearheaded the first-ever National Mentoring Month. In more than 50 states and cities, partnerships of mentoring programs, brought together under the umbrella of MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, provide a local telephone number for prospective mentors to call, and handled placement of volunteers. In many other markets, similar roles were played by local affiliates of America's Promise—The Alliance for Youth, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Communities In Schools, and Points of Light Foundation.

Goals of National Mentoring Month are:
Research has shown that programs which rely on volunteer mentors can play a powerful role in reducing drug abuse and youth violence, while greatly enhancing a young person's prospects for leading a healthy and productive life.
to top
Local Non-profit Partners
In more than 50 states and cities, local partnerships of mentoring programs convened steering committees of community leaders, created an action plan for NMM, secured media commitments in their markets, provided local telephone numbers for prospective mentors to call, responded to inquiries from the public, and referred prospective volunteers to appropriate mentoring agencies. In many of the largest media markets, a single television network affiliate served as the local lead TV partner for NMM, and sponsored a month-long, station-wide, on-air campaign in collaboration with the campaign's local lead nonprofit partner.
National Non-profit and Government Partners
The Harvard Mentoring Project, MENTOR, and the Corporation for National and Community Service led the NMM 2007 effort. Nonprofit partners included:
The Advertising Council
America's Promise—The Alliance for Youth
Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
Mentoring USA
National Association of Broadcasters
National Mentoring Center
Partnership for a Drug-Free America
Points of Light Foundation & Volunteer Center National Network

Thank Your Mentor Day
As the centerpiece of NMM 2007, the fourth annual Thank Your Mentor Day™ was celebrated on January 25, 2007. On that day, Americans across the country reached out to thank or honor those individuals who encouraged and guided them, and who had a lasting impact on their lives.
Thank Your Mentor Day™ promoted "Three Ways to Honor your Mentor":
To support the effort, the Harvard Mentoring Project's web site, www.WhoMentoredYou.org, presented video clips and written essays contributed by prominent individuals from various fields sharing recollections about important mentors from their childhood and young adult years. Contributors included Maya Angelou, Clint Eastwood, Victoria Rowell, Tom Brokaw, the late Ray Charles, Deepak Chopra, former president Bill Clinton, Walter Cronkite, Richard Dreyfuss, Antwone Fisher, former Senator John Glenn, Darrell Green, Gwen Ifill (PBS), Quincy Jones, Larry King (CNN), Senator John McCain, Edward James Olmos, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Harold Prince, Cal Ripken, Jr., Bill Russell, Tim Russert (NBC News), Martin Sheen (The West Wing, NBC), Mike Wallace (CBS News), Brian Williams (NBC News), and Oprah Winfrey. During January, the web site also provided access to on-line greeting cards, created for the campaign by Hallmark Cards, enabling people to reach out via e-mail to thank mentors who made significant contributions to their lives. The web site promoted the theme of "Pass it on!" and provided links to www.mentoring.org, the web site of MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, for information on mentoring programs in communities across the country that need volunteers.
In support of Thank Your Mentor Day™, over 100 tributes from individuals thanking their mentors were posted on WhoMentoredYou.org. These meaningful stories of the impact of mentoring from people of all ages and backgrounds are an inspiration to potential mentors.
Television Advertising
Poet, author and luminary Maya Angelou taped a public service announcement (PSA) speaking about what a mentor is – a "rainbow in the clouds." Dr. Angelou urged caring adults to "Pass it on. Become a mentor." The PSA was produced by the Harvard School of Public Health, based on a videotaped interview with Dr. Angelou. Additional excerpts from the interview, in which she discussed important mentors in her early life, are posted on the campaign's web site, www.WhoMentoredYou.org.
Legendary actor and director Clint Eastwood was also featured in a television PSA supporting the campaign. He spoke about the many mentors in his life that helped him out along the way and highlighted the importance of older adults giving back through mentoring young people. Excerpts from his interview are also available on www.WhoMentoredYou.org.
Another highlight of NMM 2007 was a special focus on mentoring for youth in foster care. Actress Victoria Rowell (The Young and the Restless) taped a PSA that called on adults to play a caring, consistent role as a mentor in the life of a young person in foster care. Having spent the first 18 years of her life in foster care, Ms. Rowell spoke about the tremendous impact that various mentors had in her life in helping her to dream and to achieve her goals.
Other ads supporting the campaign, produced by the Harvard Mentoring Project, included a spotlight on mentoring for youth with disabilities. In partnership with Partners for Youth with Disabilities, the Harvard Mentoring Project taped two general mentoring PSA's and two PSA's focusing specifically on mentoring youth with disabilities. These PSA's featured two real-life mentor/mentee pairs – the first pair was a U.S. District Court Judge and his mentee, both in wheelchairs due to spinal chord injuries. The second pair was a young girl with brittle bone disease and her mentor, a double amputee in a wheelchair. Both pairs were truly inspirational and presented a strong, universal message of the power of mentoring for youth. Additional PSAs featured Sting and Quincy Jones with the late Ray Charles.
CBS Television and the NFL provided an unprecedented opportunity to raise public awareness about the importance of mentoring during this year's Superbowl. In partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, CBS Television produced a 15 second mentoring PSA which aired during the 2nd quarter of the Superbowl. The ad featured the two coaches of the two Superbowl teams, coaches Lovie Smith and Tony Dungy, who have a real-life mentoring relationship.
The FOX television network, NBC, and CBS also aired mentoring PSAs, produced and sponsored by the networks, featuring top actors from prime time shows, including: Lisa Edelstein (House), Omar Epps (House), Jennifer Morrison (House), David Boreanaz (Bones), Emily Deschanel (House), Parminder Nagra (ER), Jamie Pressly (My Name is Earl), Molly Sims (Las Vegas), Gary Sinise (CSI: NY), Jeff Probst (Survivor), Pauley Perrette (NCIS), Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), David Krumholtz (Numbers), Hill Harper (CSI: NY), Jorja Fox (CSI), Jennifer Finnigan (Close to Home), Josh Radner (How I Met Your Mother), James Brown (Sports).
Print Advertising
To promote the theme of "Pass It On," a print ad was developed by the Harvard Mentoring Project. Featuring a photo of two swans, the ad states "Pass it on. Become a Mentor." It challenges people to "get your New Year off to a great start: become a child's mentor!" The ad directs readers to WhoMentoredYou.org and to mentoring.org to learn more about becoming a mentor.

This salad is great and calls for celery root! http://www.food52.com/recipes...
You can also make a celery root remoulade. Easy and tasty.
Abbie is a trusted source on General Cooking.
Scalloped is good! http://www.food52.com/recipes...
It is the secret ingredient in the best chicken stock I have ever tasted. Add it, peeled and cut into rough chunks, along with the carrots and onions when making stock. Sublime.
I use in in many soups and stocks.I shred it in the food processor and toss it in towards the middle of the cooking cycle. Could also go into any stew, spaghetti sauce or anything you would put celery into.
Lucky you! Celery root is the greatest vegetable ever. Raw in remoulade or shaved in a salad, sliced for a gratin (with or without potatoes), puréed in soup or just mashed... However you decide to use it, make sure to save the cleaned peels for stock. Super delicious.
In case you missed it, check this out -- just posted by Amanda and Merrill: http://www.food52.com/blog...
And you ARE lucky! As the Italians might say, "Ugly But Good!"
Sliced in a gratin or pureed in soup---delicious. Also, try sneaking some in with the potatoes when making mashed potatoes. It also keeps very well in a cool place.
Julienned, then steamed and sauced with a remoulade - classic. Easy sauce could be mustard mixed with yogurt and a fresh herb. Lovely side dish. I also love it pureed in soup served in tea cups with a shot of maple syrup and vinegar in the bottom of the cup.
Dauphinoise potatoes, but with some layers of celeriac added in is excellent!

Okay so something is going wrong in my camera, memory card, or something.
In the past 2 or 3 weeks it's been doing stupid stuff to my pictures. Some examples
There are some photos that are also completely gone. Like I'll take a picture the "proof" will show up in my screen. I'll go back to review it either in my camera or laptop and the entire file is gone.
In the last photo it actually spliced together 2 photos I took of DS near the bottom.
I'm getting irritated because I take a ton of photo/videos with my camera of the kids and some pretty awesome pictures are completely gone.
It doesn't do it to all of the photos/videos about half get deleted or messed up

Last week I spent some time at the CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) Show in Anaheim, CA. This is the largest craft show in the world! I was lucky enough to meet up with the folks at Duck Brand while I was there, and got to check out their famous Duck Brand Tour Bus {check out my pictures from the event on Instagram}. While I was there I picked up a sweet roll of Duck Tape in an adorable heart pattern, just in time for Valentine's Day!
So in keeping with my usual theme of making simple crafts, I decided to use it to make an easy votive candle holder, using a paper towel roll!
DIY Duck Tape Votive Candle Holder
Ready to make the world's easiest Valentine's Day craft?
A roll of Duck Tape {duct tape} in your favorite design
Paper towel core {or toilet paper core}
Votive candle{s}
{Seriously, how cute is this pattern?? It kinda looks like heart fingerprints to me! LOVE!}
How to make a DIY Duck Tape Votive Candle Holder:
Step 1:
Cut the cardboard core down to your desired size.
Step 2:
Wrap the Duck Tape around it {carefully} and tear the ends off.
{Tip: Tear the Duck Tape off with your hands instead of scissors to avoid sticky scissors syndrome. It is a thing, I promise. Thank me later!}
Place the votive in it, and done!
Cute gift idea, perfect for a teacher or neighbor or anyone else you want to show a little 'love' towards! Don't forget that you can get Duck Tape in zillions of other designs, so you can make DIY Votive Candle Holders for any holiday, or just for fun!
Oh and regarding the 'sticky scissor syndrome', a little birdie told me that Fiskars is partnering up with Duck Brand and offer up a 'cure' very soon! OOOHH exciting!!!
What Duck Tape crafts have you made lately?

The Marquette post office has a bright new addition to its landscape.
Artist and inventor Earl Senchuk has installed a new tree that he calls "living tree art." The tree itself is made of steel and concrete, and it supports seven pots of flowers. The flowers are raspberry blast super-tunias. The tree has an internal watering system that waters the flowers four times a day.
Senchuk says he was looking for a new spot around Marquette for one of his trees, and the post office agreed to let him place one on the property.
"Once I put the flowers in, to me, it makes it all worthwhile," said Senchuk. "The appreciation I get, and the compliments just never stop, so that's what keeps me going."
Senchuk will be working with the Marquette Beautification Committee in the near future to enhance the tree.

The Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX is a beautiful aluminum case with lots of water cooling flexibility. It includes great features like the innovated radiator bracket, support for Phanteks modular 3.5″ HDD brackets, and swivel side panels to complement the elegant 3mm thick aluminum exterior. The interior frame looks almost identical to the Enthoo Pro M due to the 2.5″ drop-N-lock mounts behind the motherboard tray and on the power supply chamber and the lack of interior HDD cages. Built specifically to target water cooling enthusiasts, the top and front of the case can support up to a 360mm or a 280mm radiator with plenty of space for a large reservoir. At Benchmark Reviews, we will be taking a look at the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX case in Galaxy Silver. Let's go ahead and go through a quick overview of the case.

Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX SE Case Review
The Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX, released earlier this year, became a very popular case for small water cooling builds thanks to its great features and water cooling flexibility. To make things better, Phanteks announced their new Enthoo Evolv ITX Special Edition case which comes in two colors; black with red interior or white with black interior. Benchmark Reviews will be taking a look at the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX SE in white and black, so let's go ahead and see what this special edition case has to offer.
Phanteks Enthoo Pro M Case Review
The Phanteks Enthoo Pro M has a few similarities from both the Enthoo Pro and the Evolv ATX case but in a mid-tower form factor. The front of the case includes just one 5.25″ ODD bay and a large air intake similar to the Enthoo Pro. The interior frame looks almost identical to the Evolv ATX due to the 2.5″ drop-N-lock mounts and the lack of interior HDD bays. Built specifically to target water cooling enthusiasts, the top and front of the case can support up to a 360mm or a 280mm radiator with plenty of space for a large reservoir.
Thermaltake POSEIDON Z FORGED Keyboard Review
The Thermaltake Poseidon Z Forged is the newest edition to the Poseidon Z family. It comes in with a lot of new features that can be appealing to most gamers. This is the first mechanical keyboard in the Poseidon series to offer programmable macro buttons. In addition to that, Thermaltake is confident that the Poseidon Z Forged will become a long lasting keyboard, so they are offering the same five year warranty as they did with their previous Poseidon mechanical keyboards.
Raijintek Triton CPU Water Cooler Review
What makes this liquid cooling unit unique is the room for expansion. Users can either use this cooling unit as it is, or expand on it with additional radiators and GPU blocks. The 240mm radiator uses a high fin density design, which results in better cooling potential overall. To top it off, three color coolant dyes are included in the packaging for further customization (only available for Triton / Triton Core editions). Benchmark Reviews is excited to receive a sample of the Raijintek Triton for this review. Let's take a look at what this AIO liquid cooling unit has to offer against the competition.
Raijintek Metis Classic Computer Case Review
Mini PC's are a crucial part for a media center PC and even small compact gaming PC's. With the Raijintek Metis Classic computer case, system builders can now build even smaller and more compact media center or gaming PC's. This lightweight aluminum case supports mini-ITX motherboards and even a full size ATX power supply. The Metis comes in a variety of colors to choose from. These colors include red, black, silver, blue, green and gold. Benchmark Reviews has been given this gold sample for this review. With the right hardware components, the Metis can be turned into the perfect computer for the living room and even a high-performance gaming machine in a small form factor.
Cooler Master Silencio 652S Case Review
The Silencio series cases from Cooler Master are built for silent operation with sound dampening materials to help eliminate noise while maintaining excellent cooling performance with quiet fans. These cases feature elegant looks along with minimalist aesthetics to complement the silent design. Since the release of the Silencio 652, users wanted something quieter while keeping the same body design. Now, Cooler Master has released the Silencio 652S. Instead of a single 180mm front intake fan, they replaced it with three of their new Silencio FP-120mm fans that run at 1200+200RPM at just 11db; two of which are at the front and one at the rear. Everything else stayed the same, such as the front and top I/O ports, the removable cover for the side vent, and the overall body itself. Let's jump into the features and specifications of the Cooler Master Silencio 652S.
Fractal Design Core 1100 Case Review
Fractal Design has now released their Core 1100 MicroATX computer case. It still has a preinstalled 120mm front intake fan and the vertical hard drive bracket. The biggest change is only the exterior design with its brushed aluminum finish, making it look identical to most Fractal Design cases. Front panel I/O ports are now located on the front instead of on the side like how the Core 1000 had them. It also supports graphics cards of up to 350mm, CPU coolers up to 148mm tall, and an optional 80mm or 92mm rear exhaust fan for improved airflow.
Fractal Design Core 2300 Case Review
When it comes to building a computer, not everyone needs a ton of LED fans along with a fancy exterior design. A fully-fledged PC with fancy mods may look appealing to the eyes, but it would not be ideal for a professional business environment. As the little brother to the Fractal Design Core 3300, the Core 2300 with its brushed aluminum finish and black exterior maintains the same clean aesthetics commonly found on most Fractal Design computer cases. With the capability to add a total of seven fans, the Core 2300 provides the cooling performance of an actual gaming computer case along with the professional and elegant aesthetics suitable for a business environment. Inside is the innovated vertical hard drive bracket. This allows for three 3.5 inch drives and three 2.5 inch drives to be mounted simultaneously. At Benchmark Reviews, we will take a close look at what the Fractal Design Core 2300 has to offer.
AZZA 'Z' CSAZ-103 Mini-ITX Case Review
Building a gaming computer with a small computer case is known to be a challenge for some PC gamers. It is hard to find the right case that can properly house high end components while at the same time maintaining proper airflow in such a small form factor. Luckily, AZZA has released their new CSAZ-103 mini-ITX case, also known as the "Z". The AZZA Z is capable of housing graphics cards up to 11 inches, a regular PS2 ATX power supply unit, two 120mm water cooling radiators, and much more. Finishing it off is a black and green exterior with bright green power LED's and a green 120mm side fan. In such a small form factor case, the AZZA Z can also be used for building a Steambox or for building a generic media center PC. Using the provided vertical stand that comes in the box, the AZZA Z stands vertically just like a normal desktop computer to save desk space for your other person equipment.
Genius Zabius HS-G850 Gaming Headset Review
The main attraction to the HS-G850 is the red LED outline strips. I have not seen many headsets with LED's that will light up to the bass, so I will be very interested in putting this headset in a number of tests to test out the sound quality, microphone quality, comfort, and how well the LED's can respond to the audio that is playing. Benchmark Reviews has this sample on hand, so let's take a look at the features and specifications of the Genius Zabius HS-G850 Gaming Headset.
Thermaltake POSEIDON Mechanical Keyboard Review
Thermaltake has made some very high quality products in the past and continues to do so even today with their new Poseidon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. This mechanical gaming keyboard is available in Cherry MX Blue and Brown switches. Unlike many other expensive LED mechanical keyboards, the Poseidon comes in at a very aggressive price and offers a few similar features and specifications that are only included in the more expensive alternatives. In this review, we will be looking specifically at the Thermaltake Poseidon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches.
AZZA CSAZ-XT1 Full-Tower Gaming Case Review
The AZZA XT1 Full-Tower Gaming case has it all. With great features offered in only some of the highest-end products, the AZZA XT1 makes a great case for consumers on a larger budget and even some enthusiast who want to go with a full-fledged customized water cooling system. It also features a lot of expand abilities for multiple hard drives and solid state drive configurations. The AZZA XT1 will accommodate XL-ATX motherboards thanks to its full-tower design. With this accommodation, it has a total of eight expansion slots at the back of the case allowing flexible and unlimited expand abilities.
Raidmax Cobra Mid-Tower Case Review
The Raidmax Cobra comes in a variety of different colors: Black, Red, Blue, White, and Titanium. We will be looking at the black one for this review. The Raidmax Cobra Black Steel Mid-Tower ATX Case will fit the bill of many consumers on a tight budget. Without spending a whole lot of money, the Raidmax Cobra offers many features that only some of the bigger and more expensive cases have. It provides tool-less drive bays, adequate space for cable management thanks to its wide body design, and four internal 2.5″ drive bays for laptop hard drives and even SSD's, which is crazy for a case in this price range. The Raidmax Cobra also provides great airflow for high performance air cooling along with the option for a custom water cooling system. Thanks to two water cooling retention holes at the back of the case, a custom water cooling system can be installed into this case. With so many high-end features, this makes the Raidmax Cobra a very competitive case due to its aggressive pricing.
Considerations When Buying a New Digital Camera
It is not easy going to your local electronics store to purchase the perfect new digital camera just for you. Sometimes, it is possible for you to come back home just to find out that the item you purchased does not meet your expectations. So, you are forced to drive back to return or exchange your product for something you should have purchased in the first place. No body likes to waste their time like this.

This is the first product that I have bought from you that is no good and does not work. The left side is totally dead. I did not go through the hassle of returning it to get a new one. I purchased for the new studio headphones I bought at the same time. They are great and work very well, and they also come with a 1/8 jack and 1/4 jack built in which the sales rep did not tell me at the time of the purchase. So I did not need this jack to begin with.
I am very disapointed that I bought this. First the 1/4 doesn't even stay in the hole..second there is no sound just a hiss.Please..Don't waste your time.

Yes everything stops when the lid is closed and the MBA goes to sleep. There will be no further activity with Skype so if Skype detects the inactivity it will probably terminate the connection. The only thing happening during sleep is the hardware monitors the battery. If it sees the battery get too low it will come out of sleep and shut the MBA down in deep sleep (hibernate) mode.

PowerNap allows the computer to perform some actions even if it is put to sleep but this doesn't extend to applications. So your computer can check for mail and perform other authorized tasks but an application like Skype cannot function until the computer wakes up.
