If I were James Bond, I have to assume that Bollinger would be my choice for the quality and price.
Bollinger is one of the very few Champagne Houses to own almost 100% of their vineyards. Thus controlling everything from start to finish. That's what leads to the consistent quality of Bollinger for all cuvees and the harmonious nature across the range. Secondly, Bollinger is quite the robust style. With body and texture, rich overtones yet a refined elegance to it. Remind you of anyone...maybe Bond himself. Third, it is an iconic wine of great character and prestige. Fourth, the value. Bollinger's Special Cuvee might not be the least expensive entry level non-vintage Champagne but quality wise it is the most consistent and one that clearly delivers every time. The Grande Annee is not only vintage specific but also one of the finest Tete de Cuvee Champagnes produced and frankly the one that represents the greatest value at under $100 per bottle! Since we know Mr. Bond enjoys his bubbles and all reports on what an MI6 agents take home pay is...we know frugality is a necessity for life as the Queen's Top Spy.
In all seriousness...quality and price there is no other comparison amongst the top big name Champagne Houses.

The rodeo bottle ride is quite simply a large bottle on which contestants must sit. The machine then spins and bucks, similar to a rodeo bull, and players are then flung to the inflatable surface below. Players' scores are displayed and recorded, which increases the competitive elements of the entertainment when you hire rodeo bottle ride as players try to hang on to the bottle for as long as possible. The rodeo bottle promotion is certain to draw in the crowds as guests gather to watch their friends and peers make fools of themselves upon the simulator. Our rodeo bottle promotion is great for exhibitions and corporate functions.

You are an aspiring newspaper
reporter (and kind of nosy too) in New England in early 1775, on the eve of the
American Revolution. Perhaps you're in a tavern or out on the street. You
hear two people in a heated conversation--an argument, really--concerning the
appropriate way for the colonies to respond to the current situation they're
facing. One is clearly a Patriot and the other is definitely a Loyalist. You
decide to write down their dialogue word for word. Maybe this will finally
be the story that will put you on the front page!
Your task is to write the
dialogue that you heard on street prior to the American Revolution. First,
using the Internet you must research the positions of the Loyalists and
Patriots, the events leading up to the Revolution, and daily life in the
Visit and read the Web sites on the list below to find out about the positions of the Loyalists versus the Patriots, the events leading up to the Revolution, and daily life in the colonies.
As you're browsing the sites, answer the questions listed on your handout.
Write your dialogue, following these guidelines:
It should involve two characters: one Loyalist and one Patriot.
Each character should clearly express his or her point of view about the current situation between the colonies and the British. They can be arguing vehemently or having a more civilized discussion, as long as they're clearly talking to each other rather than delivering individual monologues.
Each character should talk for about the same amount of time.
You should incorporate information from the Web sites into each character's statements and into the setting (i.e., where they are, what they're doing, what their daily life is like). Try to incorporate a few statements indicating aspects of colonial daily life.
Unless your teacher tells you
otherwise, the written dialogue should be at least two typed pages (double
space, size 12 font).

learned that there are 2 sides to every story. You have had the
opportunity to explore the American Revolution from the perspective of 2 people
living at the time, 1 Patriot and 1 Loyalist.

think now? Do you think the Loyalists were misguided, or can you relate to the
Loyalist point of view? Have your impressions of the Patriots changed at all
since completing this activity?

Store at center of birth control ruling due in Bend
Central Oregon lawmaker, others react to court decision
BEND, Ore. - Depending on where you stand, Monday's U.S. Supreme Court decision was a step forward for religious freedom or a step back for women's rights.
Either way, the company in the middle of it all is due to open a store in Bend this fall.
"I was so happy with the decision," Bend resident Jeanne Anderson said Monday.
Another Bend woman told NewsChannel 21, "Birth control should be everyone's right."
The nation's high court narrowly ruled Monday that businesses do have the right to ban certain types of birth control from employee insurance plans.
The decision comes after dozens of businesses sued the government over an Obamacare policy mandating coverage for contraceptives.
Hobby Lobby -- a national craft chain -- has said some forms of birth control are equivalent to abortion and in conflict with the owners' religious beliefs.
The decision could affect some of Hobby Lobby's 13,000 employees -- soon to include Central Oregonians. Its new store is expected to open in Bend River Promenade's former Sears space this fall and employ up to 50 people.
State Sen.Tim Knopp (R-Bend) said that's dozens of jobs on the line that might have been affected by the ruling.
"Hobby Lobby wouldn't have come to Central Oregon without this decision," Knopp said. "They were actually thinking about shutting down."
So the ruling will mean more jobs on the High Desert, but also more controversy.
"There is one freedom, freedom of religion that needs to stand strong," Anderson said.
Another Bend man said: "It's an interesting argument, but I don't believe religion belongs in our laws at all."
White House officials said now President Obama will work to bridge the gap and will look to Congress to provide coverage for those affected.

Sounds like 30-30 time...

Well my calving season has officially began. I have 8 calves all less than a week old on the ground. Went out this morning to check my cows and I have one cow that can't find her calf and is walking around calling for it. Upon looking around I find a big blood spot soaked in the grass and patches of hair. Cattle prices are at an all time high so losing a calf really hurts my cashflow and the money spent for feed this year is also at an all time high so its hard to lose a calf.
Going to have to do a little calling in that pasture and see if I can't rid my killer or one of his family. An eye for an eye.
Sounds like 30-30 time...

We have coyotes, but not really bothered much by them. Could your killer be a Puma?
My big problem, especially this time of year, are buzzards, they are attracted to the after-birth. I've seen the mama cow exhausted from running those buzzards, on the ground, away from her calf. Death by buzzard pecking has got to be a terrible way for anything to die. It's illegal to kill a buzzard here, but I have rained birdshot down on them from a distance or shoot near them with a .22 magnum, that crack generally gets them moving somewhere else.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Sounds like a Coyote to me, even though I live in West Virginia, we have had an influx of them for a few years now.
They are cold-blooded killers to the max. Several people I have talked to that had encounters with them did not come out good. They killed this one guys chickens, his dogs, cats and just about every living animal on his property. He did however dispatch a few to Coyote heaven with a .30-06 when he could see them. They are very wary of humans and can be in and out in record time.
I'd say it's time to load up whatever varmit rifle you have and go get a bit of Coyote revenge and lessen their population a bit.

I carry a AR with me every where I go. I shot two last weekend. There is a big CRP field next my pasture and I think they have some dens in there. I'll shoot a couple and post pictures of the killers.
See you cowboys shot yourself in the foot on this one by killing off all the wolfs. Simple known fact is when wolfs are present the coyote population are down
In my short time on this earth I have never heard of any wolves in our area. Simple fact wolves kill calves too.
a Coyote hunt sounds like a good time. are you keeping the hides or discarding all of the leftovers? I ask because I do not want to get a smaller calaber rifle just for varmet hunting amd the 300 winmag would make a mess of the coat (i assume).

I use a .223 as to not mess up the hides to much

Sorry to hear about that. When things (in general) are tight then that has to hurt. Hoping that you have Good Luck in getting rid of some of your coyote problem. Shoot straight!
"I use a .223 as to not mess up the hides too much"
You should be able to recoup some of your $$ loss by keeping those hides nice.
Hey, I just got a great AR for that job and got it dirt cheap! Never been hunting (besides prairie in my life, but always wanted to. Someone want to take a middle aged guy out coyote hunting?
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
I don't know which is worse; wolves, or the fed that comes with them
I'd much rather deal with coyotes.
The one and only coyote I've ever taken was with a 45 grn hollow point, from a .22-250. His hide wasn't much good after that

I was reading the comments below and was having the same problem.
The problem occurs because you cannot specify more than one variable as the
panel idenfifier. Typing 'help tsset' produces the following explanation:
Declare data to be time series and specify the time variable
tsset [panelvar] timevar [, options]
INSTEAD, allowing tsset to be:
tsset (varlist) timevar [, options]
would allow a panel identifier that is composed of more than one variable.
How can one address these types of development issues more directly to the
Stata team?

Subject: Re: RE: st: RE: tsset
Alexander Nervedi
apologies for any confusion in the way I have been using terms. in my
mind there is no missing data. the data set clearly tells me that for
county = x, household = 1, year = 1 variable V1(x,h,t) = x111. The data
set however does have gaps such as
county household year V1
x 1 1 12
x 1 2 13
x 1 4 12
x 1 7 12
So without any missing data, I define a uniqe household id using
egen uid = group(county household)
county household year V1 uid
x 1 1 12 1
x 1 2 13 1
x 1 4 12 1
x 1 7 12 1
I need this so that I am able to tsset my data set.
tsset uid year
Once tsset, I would like to enter the gaps into the dataset, and tsfill
it for me.
tsfill, full
However, using tsfill creates missing observations whose values i actually
do know. for variables it is a 0 and for identifies like county and
household, it has to be the same value within uid. Thus, my data set looks
county household year V1 uid
x 1 1 12 1
x 1 2 13 1
. . 3 . 1
x 1 4 12 1
. . 5 . 1
. . 6 . 1
x 1 7 12 1
The coding instructions tell me that V1 = 0 for the missing years.
I still need to fill in the county and household vairable missings
observations that tsfill created. and currently, I am using a sequence of
replace with leads and lags within uid to fill this. I was hoping there
maybe an automated way of doing this.
thanks for your response.
>>> This appears to fall under the FAQ
How can I replace missing values with previous or following nonmissing
How can I replace missing values within sequences?
Note that
. search missing
would have pointed you to this directly.
However, applying the rules appears a little tricky
in your case as
. sort county household
will mess up your sort order. It would seem that
replace county = county[_n-1] if mi(county)
replace household = household[_n-1] if mi(household)
should work.

The webloid's source claims, "Taylor's advisers are tired of setting her up on dates only to have her strange personality scare men away."
"Taylor is almost impossible to find dates for because of the nature of her music, which focuses heavily on heartbreak and ex-boyfriends," adds the purported insider. "None of the guys she shows interest in want to be the subject of a mean song six months down the road or be painted the bad guy, so Taylor's team want (sic) her to take a break from boys."
That made-up quote, by the way, comes from the same outlet that has repeatedly spread fabricated stories about Swift. Previously, RadarOnline falsely claimed Swift tried to hook up with Bradley Cooper, manufactured a "love connection" between her and Jared Leto, and frequently gets even simple stories about Swift's home life completely wrong.
So when the blog's under-informed sources start claiming that her "team" is putting a stop to her dating life — it's a little suspect. Especially when the premise fails a basic logic test: If Swift is allegedly undateable because of her music… how does she wind up in so many relationships? It's not as though she just started writing about her love life.
In any case, the latest RadarOnline report simply is not true. A source close to the singer tells Gossip Cop her handlers do not control her dating life, and calls the story "b.s."

Christmas week just keeps getting better for the Seattle Seahawks. Today, cornerback Richard Sherman announced he'd won his appeal of a four-game suspension related to performance enhancing drugs that would have kept him out of Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams, and, more importantly, the entire NFC playoffs. The league hadn't yet announced the results before Sherman took to Twitter: I won — Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) December 27, 2012 Today's ruling also means the entire Legion of Boom is intact for the playoffs, as Brandon Browner, Sherman's partner in cornerback crime, ends his four-game suspension — also related to PEDs — in time for the playoffs. The duo, along with safety Kam Chancellor (perhaps you're familiar with his work?) will undoubtedly be playing with a Tostito's bag worth of chips on their shoulders, especially after safety Earl Thomas was the lone Seahawks defensive back named to the Pro Bowl. And, barring a collapse by the 49ers — or the total meltdown scenario of the 49ers and Packers both losing — the Seahawks will be taking their devastating hits show on the road against the NFC East champion.

Triple-Double for Jordan
Published: April 3, 1989
CHICAGO, April 2— Michael Jordan, playing point guard for the 13th straight game, had his fifth consecutive triple-double and ninth of the season as the Chicago Bulls defeated the Nets, 106-95, today.
Jordan had 28 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, leading the Bulls to their 10th victory in their last 12 games.
For the Nets, it was more of the same. They lost for the 13th time in their last 14 games. It also marked New Jersey's 12th consecutive defeat on the road.
The Bulls broke open a 57-57 tie with a 23-6 run, with Scottie Pippen scoring 10 of his 12 third-period points during the spurt. Pippen finished with 23 points.
The Nets, who were led by Chris Morris with 18 points, shot only 38 percent (9 for 24) in the third quarter, but managed to whittle the 17-point deficit to 84-73 by the end of the quarter.
The Nets then closed the gap to 92-85 in the final quarter on baskets by Joe Barry Carroll and John Bagley. But the Bulls scored 10 of the next 12 points as Brad Sellers hit two jumpers and John Paxson added a jumper and a steal.

AFAIK all glocks are about the same and they are known to be very reliable.
while nothing is 100% glocks come pretty close. The rare problems with glocks are usually caused by operator error such as FTE's caused by limp wristing or even Kabooms caused by using lead ammo.
glocks are known for eating thousands of rounds with minimal maintenance, glocks are not for everyone
you should try and find a range where you can rent one and see if it works for you.

CHAMPAIGN WEDDING IN JUNEJune, 2010 in Champaign
"Our wedding was amazing! We got married in Champaign, IL and were surrounded by all our family and closest friends. The ceremony and reception were both on the University of Illinois campus, so there was a short commute between venues. The vendors helped to make our day great by causing no extra headaches. They all did the job they said they were going to do! It was super hot outside (96 degrees) getting married at the end of June, but luckily both the ceremony and reception site were air conditioned! We had a wonderful wedding day :)!"

"We are still getting compliments about how great the food was."
Nuptiae: The Wedding & Event PlannersChampaign, IL, USA
"I used Gwen on a consultation basis only, but she did a fantastic job making sure I was on track with my wedding planning before I got too far into it. She designed a binder for me to help keep me organized and on track with a manageable time line."
Bugbee's DJ Plus1409 N Neil St
Champaign, IL 61820, United States
"Bugbee's was great to work with. They spent the time to make sure they had an accurate timeline for the evening and had a list of all of our favorite and least favorite songs. They were there in plenty of time to set up before guests arrived. I had a very positive experience working with this company."
Tammie LawsonChampaign, IL, USA
"I really had no idea what I wanted for my flowers besides the colors. After meeting with Tammie, explaining my ideas, and showing her some swatches of fabric for color, I left the rest up to her. She created gorgeous bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids as well as a beautiful unity candle floral piece. Everything was delivered on time and in great condition. I loved working with Tammie."
Honeymoon Vendor:
Becky CarleyChampaign, IL, USA
"She was great to work with! She made sure we got exactly what we wanted at the best possible price. We stayed at a Sandals Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. She was very good at communicating all of the details with us in a super timely manner."
Invitations Vendor:
Michaels14501 Eureka Rd
Southgate, MI, United States
"We chose a DIY option for the invitations. We bought them at Michael's craft store and was able to use a 40% coupon to purchase them. We printed them ourselves, but the invitations came with a template to use that made creating the printing margins pretty fool proof. We loved the invitations and there really wasn't too much extra work involved."
Limo Company:
Illini Taxi1410 North Neil Street
Champaign, IL, USA
"We booked the limousine service several months in advance. We planned to use the service for the wedding party and then also as a shuttle service after the wedding for guests. We spoke with the owner when making the original reservations. He confirmed our reservation and told us to call back 3 weeks before the wedding to finalize all of the details. When we did, they said they had no record of our reservation and were actually booked for a different wedding that day. While trying to work out the confusion, the owner was very rude, very unprofessional and told us he did not care if we chose to use his business or not. Before the conversation was over, he ended up hanging up the phone on us. We were very disappointed with our experience with IlliniTaxi and decided we did not want to use any of the company's services. We ended up not having a limo for the wedding day, which we thought was a better option than giving this company our business."

"Holly did an excellent job covering all aspects of our wedding. We loved the photos we got back and the album she designed for us."
University Place Christian Church
"This was not our home church, but they made us feel very welcomed here. The church was very beautiful. They also allowed us to bring in our own officiant, which was very important to us. They have an on site wedding coordinator who helped keep everything organized the day of and was there to coordinate all of the vendors (musicians, florists, etc) that needed to get set up."
Memorial Stadium1402 South 1st Street

"The Colonnades Club was a great place for our reception. It was able to accommodate all of our guests.

Concerns over liquor tax funds for junior college tuition
MADISON COUNTY, Idaho - More and more high school students are earning college credits, but it comes at a cost to their local county.
It's because counties actually subsidize the tuition of credits earned at junior colleges. That money comes from a state liquor tax.
Madison County has used all of that funding and then some to help its students. Technology allows students to enroll online, and the school district hosts remote classes. Some classes taught at Madison High School are broadcast at Sugar-Salem High School, and vice versa. Rigby and Ririe high schools also participate. Students earn college credit from junior colleges, like the College of Southern Idaho.
"With how technology has changed, with students now taking course through distant locations, they are taking classes through CSI, which was never possible," said Jared Jenks, principal of Sugar-Salem High School.
Students pay $195 for a typical three-credit class at CSI. What they may not realize is the county is also spending $150 to reach the total tuition of $345 per class.
That extra money comes from the state liquor tax. With several hundred students enrolled in these classes each trimester, that adds up quickly in Madison County.
"It has taken 100 percent of that beer and alcohol tax. This is an awesome program; we want to do everything we can to help students who want to further their education, but not at the expense of breaking counties, either," said Kim Muir, Madison County clerk.
The liquor tax is intended, in part, for counties to help their citizens with the cost of junior colleges. According to state law, the county is required to fund a portion of tuition, with a limit of $3,000 per student.
"A lot of kids are taking advantage of it and enjoying going in to college and not being a true freshman and maybe being a sophomore or junior. That's a great thing to do and saves a lot of money down the road," said Darnea Lamb, assistant principal at Madison High School.
While it saves students money, the county wants the state to help reformat how the budget is done.
"We'd like to see that state take on the matter and take the funds off the top and pay the junior colleges before they disperse the tax funds back to us," said Muir.
For the high schools, though, it's not an issue.
"It's certainly working for us, I doubt the county likes paying $150 per student, but until the law changes or the legislature feels that it should be funded differently, the county will continue to pay the $150 per student," said Jenks.
The county has discussed the issue with the Legislature, which will work on it further in the next session.
Fremont County commissioners share similar concerns. They have not yet exhausted their liquor fund, but with college enrollment continuing to grow, they could need to rework the budget in the future.
The liquor tax is dispersed based on population, not sales in individual counties.

Audience is aam junta, says Zila Ghaziabad director
USP of Zila Ghaziabad is that it is targeting an audience who will get to watch a masala movie, says Anand Kumar.
New Delhi: Director Anand Kumar started his career with 'Delhi Heights' in 2007 and went on to make 'Jugaad' in 2010, he is returning to the silver screen with 'Zila Ghaziabad'. The film stars Vivek Oberoi, Arshad Warsi and Sanjay Dutt in pivotal roles. The director talks about the rumours and the process of filmmaking.
Q: What do you think is going to be the USP of 'Zila Ghaziabad'?
A: The USP of Zila Ghaziabad is that it is targeting to reach a larger audience who will get to watch a full-on masala movie which is based on some true incidents and partly fiction, weaved with lots of power-packed action and entertainment. I have exactly tried to make something which our audience love and have accepted each time when served on the screen.
Q: What made you cast Vivek Oberoi in such a character? What is the bone of contention between him and Arshad in the film?
A: Vivek's role is of an educated man therefore the look had to be not entirely rural unlike the other characters in the movie. They both play the roles of notorious mafia dons.
Q: What is the background of Sanjay Dutt's character?
A: Sanju sir's character was penned like this and is not inspired by any real life police officer. It is purely my writer Vinay Sharma's vision of how Pritam Singh should be. His character has shades of grey in it, so all I can say you haven't seen him in such a role in the past.
Q: Are you targeting any specific zone or age group for your film?
A: Target audience is aam janta and not handful of elites, at the end of the day what matters is box office results which is generated by the local masses who loves lots of masala, action, multi star-cast, powerful story line, melodious songs, I do not care much about the number of stars, I'd rather count the number of whistles in the theatre. I am very hopeful that it will run in North India for a quite some while.
Q: Is it like recreating the past with a distinct vision?
A: Surely, recreating the past and also keeping the contemporary taste of the masses in mind. Like the action sequences are very modern, item songs are still in vogue to add to some zing. I have done my job and now leave it for you.
There is a common belief after watching the trailers is that 'Zila Ghaziabad' might just be another out of 'Dabanng', 'Singham', 'Rowdy Rathore' template. 'Zila Ghaziabad' was shot in 2011 and there were delays in coordinating with the dates of so many actors during 2012, hence the completion took some while. Had it been released on time all would have said that 'Singham' and 'Rowdy Rathore' are made out of 'Zila Ghaziabad' template.
Q: We heard that you have edited out a song featuring Arshad Warsi and Minissha Lamba from the film.
A: The song was shot both on Arshad/Minissha and Vivek/Charmi. During the editing session Arshad's bit was looking completely out of place as his character turns out extremely notorious and a villain singing Ranjha Jogi wasn't making sense, so we had to chop it. However, the song is very much there which was shot on Vivek and Charmi. We can never possibly edit out the song sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal.
Q: 'Kai Po Che' is releasing with 'Zila Ghaziabad'
A: I am not insecure about that at all. These two movies are of different genres. The audiences are separate for both. I wish them luck for their movie also. Everyone puts in lots of hard work in their movie and each one has a right to earn profits as well as earn accolades from the audiences. 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' and 'Son of Sardaar' released together and both made 100 crore.

I just started this website and a new product, I have just copyrighted and and I am about to submit my patent for it. I am trying to get different aquarists opinions on this in order to develop something that will appeal to many different types of styles.
Mainly the idea is to create a product that is water safe, looks natural and beautiful.
This is the closest ones I have made to the natural style. I am going to add some more wood grain texture and less of a metallic look to it once I get in the studio next.
I have made some other glass that looks kind of natural while still keeping that glass look. It looks more like this in the tank:
I also made some purple ones and put them in my 20 gallon tank for show at the moment:
If you have any comments or suggestions, they are more than welcome. I am really trying to get this to look more natural so all feedback is highly appreciated.
How fragile are they? Its not my cup of tea, but im sure there are people out there who will love those
That is a great question. While setting up the 20 gallon one I put rocks on top of them and they are holding up really nice. I would say they are sturdy to an extent.
The tips and any thin areas will be easy to break off or chip. Any hard hits like dropping a rock from over a foot above it onto the glass will most likely crack it. It is hard thick glass so it has a lot of weight behind it to keep its structural integrity, but it is glass.
Basically I think its sturdy enough to take weight and pressure but not to be thrown or anything like that.
These are beautiful. I can also see them in marine aquariums in vibrant colors to complement the fish. I think they're a really neat idea! They're blown, I assume?
Looks cool, ive been looking for 5/6 glass cubes for a modern looking hardscape. These could make wonderful accents. If theyre hollow could you silver fume the inside?
Shhh, but a long time ago, some friends bong stem broke and i wanted to turn the bong into a cave for my fish.. never did, i was worried about my fish gettin some serious munchies or sick from chemical residue.
Edit: you could experiment with dabbing cloth on the soft glass to add texture, though i dont know how easy this will be.
Yes these pieces are sculpted. It was done using blowing techniques but because this was a solid piece it was not actually blown.
Someone actually suggested the texture thing before too, that is a good idea. I can actually sand blast the surface or the glass to make the texture. That would be great. I will have to do this.
i love finding washed up glass on beaches. you know broken beer bottle pieces that are completely rounded, soft, and scuffed up. it might be neat to add a texture like that to the glass
You might take this a different direction.
Use a nice display tank and use the glass to emulate all the elements of a planted aquarium.
This would free you from aquarium constraints.
You can then use the brown wood like pieces, then the plants themselves can be formed and sold.
Glass grit like gravel.
Glass in/out filters etc and then but of course.......Glass fish(real live ones).
Or just a scene(empty tank, more a display case).
There might be a market for glass art based on aquatic plants.
The problem with a all glass filter is the mechanics behind it. I would have to get completely clear parts in order to have a clear filter. I can blow a fish tank probably as big as 10 gallon so that would only be able to be used for bettas and small QT tanks.
The plants would be very expensive, because in order to make them look good I would have to put a lot of time into them. Real plants are thing and have some nice detail. I could make coral easier out of glass.
Salt water set ups like that would be much easier than planted tanks. While I did copyright this as Drift-Glass I have still yet to make my other copyright the Coral-Glass. This will be more like that.
I'm visualizing the planted freshwater aquarium using sand blasted Drift-Glass in order for moss and anubias to grow off of it. The salt water ones could use more of your idea where the entire construction is out of glass. That would just be a dream land of beauty in all honesty!
Here are two videos I just took of the two tanks with the Drift-Glass in it (Note: if you view them now they will have my commentary but later they will have music, their currently editing)
I have a new picture of a different angle. You can really see the colors and patterns on this one:
I did a completely walk through of all my tanks with commentary videos and two pictures. I posted them all on my Online Aquarium Journal: http://www.termato.net/2012/07/26/ne...shwater-tanks/
Let me know what you think.
While I really dig the simplicity and beauty of the smooth pieces I think that texture is where you're going to find most success in planted aquariums. When you say sandblasting I'm imagining that it's after the piece is cooled but I think you could also try adding fine sand to the surface of a hot piece so that it partially fuses. Another thought is streaking or ribbed surfaces on the glass. Finally thought: nubs and / or loops so that people can tie on moss or whatever without having the string slide down the glass. Good luck and send me a sample if any of those ideas float your boat!
the purple piece attracts my attention. while i dont have a place for it in my aquariums. i see sculpted glass blowing as a viable options for many different hardscape ideas.
even iwagumi rocks might be cool as glass :)
streaking or ribbed...on the outside of the glass...The problem I run into it is the easy way to do it comes out uniformed and not natural looking..I will have to think of a way to apply this texture and make it look natural. A lot of people achieve that by using molds, I'm hand sculpting. Great idea though, this would add to the overall natural feel of the sculpture. Wood has a lot of these elements you are describing.
Nubs or loops hmm. I can do that def. That's a GREAT idea! I'll have to make some and then i'll show you what I got :D
Thank you very much for the wonderful ideas!
That would be very interesting. Something done like paperweights but organic rock like. This idea can get very complex!
Have you ever seen Dale Chihuly's garden installations? I like them because he is not necessarily trying to imitate nature so much as compliment it. Something worth thinking about in terms of your project here.
Anyway, I like where you are going with this and I look forward to seeing more. I definitely think that you could make a killer tank for glo-light danios/tetras this way :)
how about hooking up a airline to the branches so you can see bubble? it could be a very cool bubble counter for co2.
or something like this

After 6 years of wishing that I had just bought a WRX rather than whatever I bought instead, I finally have my WRX. I only waited about a month to get it after I placed a deposit on a car that was already in the pipeline.
Car is pretty basic- SWP Base 5-door with only options being AW mats, cargo liner, rear bumper cover, HomeLink mirror. Was supposed to have the STi short shifter and the aluminum&leather STi shift knob, but it got deleted at the port.
With destination and all fees, I paid $25,000 even. Not the best deal I have seen on here, but not the worst, either. Basically, invoice price or just slightly under.
The only real gripe that I had was that I specifically instructed them NOT to install a front plate, as WV des not require them. The car came in last Friday and a note was put on the dash and steering wheel telling the prep guys not to add a front plate. It made it to this Thursday without anyone putting one on, but someone removed the note and the plate was put on. They did not even pre- drill; just rammed a screw in there and went to town.
I was not willing to wait months for another car to come in, and they offered $400 off of the car plus bought me a billet plate delete from MachV/fastwrx.com to cover the holes. I did not like the flat spot on the front of the bumper anyway, so all in all, it was not the worst thing that could have happened.
I added an STi "piston" knob because I hate the height of the stock knob, but I don't really like the feel of the piston knob, so it needs to be replaced.
I need to do something to supplement the audio, as it lacks bass altogether.
Plans are some legal tint (40%), add some mudflaps/splashguards, remove most of the badges, swap on some 16" LGT snowflates for winter use, replace the shift knob, and later on, run some STi front springs and add some swaybars. HIDs and factory fogs are also on the list.
So anyway, on to the pics. It was crappy on the drive home so it got a bit dirty, and it was dark when I took the first few shots. I took some better (outside) pics today, but the car is still dirty.

Your work has been described as falling into a literary painting tradition, responding to our inherent need for stories. You also have a love of language, expressed beautifully through your blog posts. Do you intentionally keep the two separate? How would you feel about marrying your words and pictures?
I have only recently started sharing my writing in this way. It feels very fast and allows me to see traits and undercurrents in my selections and structures that will definitely inform future paintings. I may even use the posts as starting points for work.
As for directly using words and sentences on the canvas, I have played with that in the past. For me, it doesn't work often. The speed of our reading and the slower pace of looking at paintings provide a visual challenge that would be a distraction.
You give your paintings the most intriguing of titles, for example The Thaurmaturgist (World Folder), or Langourla (The Promise).
How do these names come about and how important are they to your work?
Naming paintings is rarely the same process twice for me. Sometimes the title comes first and other times, even after a painting is finished, the right title won't come. It can be a real fun game or a complete pain.
The titles, to me, at least, often seem straightforward. Titles can be used as a way in to a piece or a red herring. Most often, mine are meant as clues, or at least a hint at my process.
I love your artist's statement, particularly where you say:
What I do with them [inspiring images] is to really just let them live in my head with me for a while and eventually they feel like they want to get out and live in a different way. They tell me when they are ready.
How do they tell you?
It's a hard one to verbalise but I think that it's a circumstantial thing. I live with an ever-growing collection of images around me and in my memory and I scan through them when starting a painting to see what feels right. I could miss an image for years and then one day it is just right. Or at least I have progressed enough to be able to give it what it needs to exist in a painting.
You also liken your work to vinyl records, books and old leather bags – these things all seem drenched in nostalgia. Do you consider your work to be share this quality in any way?
I think that paint - the painted canvas - has a patina, it has visual crackle and noise. It is tactile and sensual. They smell amazing. Increasingly we see art on the screen and we lose its physicality and its imperfections. It seems to me that there is a real craving for things that have soul. My Grandad's old leather wallet that I now use has that.
Although you have an obvious love of analogue, of history, and of the physical, your Instagram feed shows another side – stories, but told as digital snapshots. What do you enjoy about this medium?
Yeah, I have fallen for the Instagram craze at the moment. I like the confined format and the limitations that mean you can really see the differences in the way people see the world and select. Friends often joke that all I want is to be "special and different". They are right, of course, and Instagram gives me a way of showing how I am.
Also, and more importantly, scanning back over the images is a bit like flicking through a book of a painter's work. You can see compositional tendencies and colour selection and motifs that hint at a deeper understanding of what makes that person tick.
It's nice to meet another cloud-spotting, weather nerd. What is it about skies that intrigue you so much?
I am a life-long nature nerd, but relatively new to cloud appreciation. Clouds and skies are kind of therapy for me. They bring me to the present and help me see the moment. They increase my mindfulness, they remind me that things change and that I am part of something bigger. Being tuned in to my environment like that is starting to inform my work, and, as I mentioned via the blog, it also helps me manage my sometimes troublesome grey matter!
You work in many mediums - painting, linocut, drawing. Is there one you prefer to use or do you enjoy the variety?
Those three are all really important to me. I guess its like being able to play more than one instrument or speaking multiple languages. It just means that I can communicate with more subtlety and have a wider vocabulary to choose from. Drawing forms the backbone of my practice, although I rarely show drawings. Painting has been my focus for the last couple of years. I needed to feel better at it so I dropped everything else and pushed to improve.
I miss print and now I'm in a new studio space I am looking forward to bringing it back into my working week and developing a new body of print works.
What has been the highlight of your painting career and why?
No doubt, it was being asked to exhibit with Coates and Scarry at the RWA earlier this year. It was such an honour to be asked. The other artists at the show were really supportive too. I was blown away to be there showing alongside them.
I'm intrigued by your site-specific piece at BPN Architects. Did you enjoy working on such a large scale?
Yes, I really enjoyed those pieces and I hope to do more of that work in the future. I made them on the two days leading up to the show opening and so it was a little pressured but that added to the energy, I think. It was nice to have a perfomative element. I was thrilled to see that BPN have kept them on the wall too!
Did you work closely with the architects to develop the work or were you given free rein?
I developed a great relationship with them when I went in and delivered life drawing classes for them in their studio. I encouraged them to take risks and I was consistently talking about the power of marks. I felt I owed it to them to practice what I preach and so felt I should demonstrate what I meant.
They gave me a completely free rein in terms of where I drew and the subject. Those few lines transformed the space and I hope I made my point.
Can you tell us about any exciting projects you've got coming up?
I am continuing to set up my new studio space and to prepare a printing area. The rest of 2012 will be about a new collection of paintings.

What I did
Checked out (after Rysio tried to say that he had payed the night before) and payed, went to the station and finally found the left luggage. Lets hop on the train to Pompeii. On the train with us were some very funny loud americans. Did someone say there is a volcano!!
From Pompeii we took a bus to Vesuvius and ran out of money so couldn't get to the crater, very upset!!!! But there was an up side! We made it back down in time to get to go to Pompeii, the old old city! Spent a few hours there, saw some preserved-by-the-volcanic-eruption people and a dog.
Time to get back to Napoli so we can get to Rome. Picked up the bags and some food and mounted the train to Rome!
Both smelling a little ripe we check into our hotel on the via Nationale off the Piazza Republica and get shown to our even more amazing room!! The lovely guy had a really good Italian accent and accompanying face and pronounced his 'm's' very well!!

Factor 1: Professional Knowledge, Skill, and Technical Mastery
Level 4 - 2300 Points: Knowledge of the principles, concepts, practices, methods and techniques of an administrative, managerial, or professional field such as accounting or auditing, financial management, business administration, human resources, engineering, social sciences, communications, education, law, or medicine. Knowledge permits the employee to complete assignments by applying established methods to recurring types of projects/problems susceptible to well-documented precedents or to schedule, plan, and carry out precedented projects. Alternatively, knowledge at this level might also permit the employee to carry out precedented projects requiring considerable experience in specific areas within higher education. Knowledge at this level is typically acquired through a combination of formal education and/or training and experience that includes a requirement for a college degree in a specific technical or professional specialty along with significant related work experience. Alternatively, equivalent knowledge requirements at this level include a non-technical or general Bachelor's degree requirement with substantial work experience or a non-specific Master's degree requirement with substantial work experience. Knowledge requirements generally also include a significant amount of related work experience and may include administrative or supervisory experience.
Factor 2: Supervisory Responsibility
Level 3 - 270 Points: Supervision of a limited number of (a) operative, administrative support, or paraprofessional employees who do not exercise a full range of supervisory responsibilities over other full-time employees, (b) a very small number of professional employees, or an equivalent combination of (a) and (b). The incumbent performs a full range of supervisory responsibilities including performance reviews of subordinates. The incumbent is generally responsible for training, planning, and directing the work of permanent employees, and provides major input into hiring decisions. Supervisory responsibilities consume moderate amounts of work time and may include general work planning tasks.
Factor 3: Interactions with Others
Level 3 - 250 Points: The purpose of interactions is to advise or counsel others to solve recurring and structured problems, and/or to plan or coordinate work efforts with other employees who are working toward common goals in situations where relationships are generally cooperative. Interactions are moderately structured and routine and may involve employees in different functions, students, and/or the general public. These types of interactions require normal interpersonal skills.
Factor 4: Job Controls and Guidelines
Level 3 - 500 Points: The employee operates under general supervision expressed in terms of program goals and objectives, priorities, and deadlines. Administrative supervision is given through statements of overall program or project objectives and available resources. Administrative guidelines are relatively comprehensive and the employee need only to fill in gaps in interpretation and adapt established methods to perform recurring activities. In unforeseen situations, the employee must interpret inadequate or incomplete guidelines, develop plans, and initiate new methods to complete assignments based on those interpretations. Assignments are normally related in function, but the work requires many different processes and methods applied to an established administrative or professional field. Problems are typically the result of unusual circumstances, variations in approach, or incomplete or conflicting data. The employee must interpret and refine methods to complete assignments. Characteristic jobs at this level may involve directing single-purpose programs or performing complex, but precedented, technical or professional work.
Factor 5: Managerial Responsibility
Level 4 - 1500 Points: Work involves the primary accountability for a smaller department, program, or process. Work activities involve managerial decisions that directly affect the efficiency, costs, reputation, and service quality of the department, program, or process. Work affects a limited range of professional projects or administrative activities of the University. Work activities have a direct and substantial impact on the department. While work activities do have some effect on the efficiency and reputation of the cost center, departments, programs, or processes at this level represent a relatively minor function within the cost center. Employees in jobs at this level may have responsibility for developing budgets, distributing budgeted funds, and exercising the primary control over a relatively small budget.

Shar Jackson Offers To Pee On A Stick
Shar is loving the spotlight! Enraged over "Star" magazine's claim that she's knocked up with Kevin Federline's baby, Shar Jackson is reportedly getting lawyer George Gallegos involved. After issuing this press release, Shar quickly threw herself down a flight of stairs.
Shar, who denies the mag's claim, says her children are being affected by the rumors, and told TMZ through her rep, "When my kids hear things at school and then ask me if they are getting a new brother or sister, I have to put my foot down."
TMZ has also learned that Shar is willing to prove to the magazine that she is not pregnant, and tells Star's editor-in-chief, Bonnie Fuller, "I stand by my truth by offering you an EPT test if you stand by yours and reveal your 'source' to me."
Nothing's hotter than two women handling a urine-stocked plastic stick in the name of truth. So it was ok when your kids were hearing things at school about how their Daddy left them for the Cheetos monster? THAT was ok, but this isn't? Check.
