I am not sure where to post it as there seem not forum for this. Hope to get some help fast as the washer just gave up on me and dryer is whistling of the old age, need to buy the whole new set.. afraid to make mistake, want to go green as far as i can with certain limitations.
I am shopping for new washer and dryer and anyone who could help to get
a perspective please do so. thanks! here are my conserns:
- we have top loader, every time we do loundry now .. there is lot of volatiles coming out of it, I know that it is not as bad as using conventional detergents but even the ones we do do contain things like baking soda and borax etc.. so that stuff still gets into the air and howeverit is better it is still chemical to a degree. Therefore I hope to buy a washer with front loading that is sealed tight, I hope that it won't emit the detergent air into the house. Correct? or does it still do it.
- the same about dryer, our current dryer is old fashion front loader wthout the window, just a still door, and I wonder if newer dryer will be bettter sealed as you can really smell the air from it, hot items even if you use natural detergents.. but the items still have colors and fabrics and when they worm up they do release something into the air right? so.. do you think that sealed modern dryers are better in keeping indoor air clean? btw.. cloth line not an option... so next question...
- which of the washers would you recommend as the one that has the most powerful spinning cycle so the loundry comes out so well spinned that there is almost no moisture so that will dramatically reduce drying time.
- which washer do you think will do great job on washing with natural detergents that are not as strong as the conventional ones that we will NEVER go back to, but.. which one woudl wash great and would not use too much energy to warm up water. Or is it one of the other, I know that modern chemical detergetns aredesigned to wash in almost cold water but I don't want to use them, so am I sentenced to use hotter water to do good loundry or is there a middle ground.. a washer that has lots of power and sensors or someting thatwill do great washing job wihtout hot water and chemicals?
- can you recmmend a particular brand or features of any brand that I should pay attention to?
- what features are important in eco friendly washers and dryers
- what features I will never use.. or you never use and are totally obsolite
- how big would you recommend? biggest to do less loads or smaller to use less water and energy? we havee enough space to do either one.
- are there any bad ones that you experienced and absolutely do not recommend and why?
thanks, I really appreciate any help. It is so much money and great responsibility so I want to make a good purchase with your help.
I would never recommend a front loader. I got one a few years and hate it. We're going to get that Samsung as soon as we can.

what was that you did not like about front loader? I am curious because we also
have top loader and I really don't like it. Especially since it is so open, all the smells
gets into the air when detergent gets mixed with the hot water..
I wonder about the front loaders thoug.. if you can add a piece of something once it loads
and also I fear that the cycle will be so much longer.
hm.. thoughts?
oh and the noise level! absolutely crucial for me as our loundry is on the bedroom level
so now if you run washer you can't sleep, it is like the whole upstairs shakes and
the noise level of the top washer is just over the top. I know that front loaders.. some
have this super quiet mode
Do you have a regular top loader or a HE top loader? My mom got a LG HE top loader while I was visiting her this past spring. Using that is what convinced me that I wanted one. It locks shut once it's on so I don't see how any smells or vapors could get out of it.
SAHM to 3 boys and 1 man; 22 , 9, 5 and now 1 year old!
I've had both types of HE models (top loading and front loading) HATED both with a passion of a thousand burning suns.
Both make a horrid sound when spinning. yes I know that's the purpose of the machine, to spin and get things super dry, but the high spin literally sounds like a jet engine.
The top loading model just twists clothes and ruins them in no time. Neither model got the clothes clean. Both models STUNK like mold, the inner ring got slimy, you would need to 'clean' the washer after 45-50 washes with 'Affresh' - a special detergent made for cleaning HE washers or I just used bleach and hot water. If I missed a cleaning the mold smell and slime got horrible.
The wash cycles on both models was over an hour long. IDK about you but an hour per load is just insane!
We now have a traditional washer and my laundry is done quickly, my laundry is clean and the machine is quiet. (and the machine was about $400 each piece).

My main thing is having something that's gentle on clothes. My front loader tears up my diapers. The Samsung HE I was looking at is supposed to be gentle and quiet.
zebra15 ~ Did the top loading HE you had have an agitator? My mom's does not.
SAHM to 3 boys and 1 man; 22 , 9, 5 and now 1 year old!
NO agitator and it still managed to tear up clothes like there was no tomorrow. Plus the spin cycle sounded that jet engine everyone is referring to. The clothes became horribly tangled and twisted in the washer. I couldn't wait to get away from that thing. Plus the cycle ran for a minimum of 1 hour, 'super wash' or 'heavy' was 90 minutes.

Hm...Ok. Maybe I need to rethink this again and go back to just a regular top loading washer. That was my plan before I saw my mom's new one. It's certainly worth it to save at least $600.

We have a Samsung front-loading washer and LOVE it. There has never been any bad odor, mold or mildew inside it. I wipe the seal after every wash (I make it a habit before I even unload the clothing into the dryer) and leave the door open so it can't get musty or stay damp.
We use 7th Generation, unscented liquid for the wash and white vinegar for the rinse (haven't used bleach in 16+ years). We have a huge garden and dh can get pretty dirty during planting and harvest (plus, he cuts our 8+ cords of wood for the winter), so we are no strangers to grime. I also used to wash my elderly Mom's clothes, as well, and dealt with incontinence issues in her clothing. The clothes are so much cleaner than our original washer and we use so much less water (we're on two wells and saving water was a big consideration when purchasing the new washer! No stains, no smells, and they are drier coming out of the washer, so less time in the dryer!
I almost always use the perm-press cycle, for pretty much everything (even jeans). In fact, I've used the sanitize cycle just once (for some of Mom's clothes) and saw no real difference. I have used the gentle on my big dresses (reproductions of Victorian dresses and for my hoop skirts), and there has been no tangling of clothes or anything. I've never had clothes tangle any worse than in my old top-loader (which was a very good machine). Again, I don't over- or under-load!!! Keeping it balanced really helps.
If you don't over- or under-load the washer, the vibration during the spin is minimal. We keep ours set at "medium" spin and have had no vibration problems. We were also careful about balancing it when we installed it (a very important step and one a lot of people overlook!). One the rare occasions when it does spin heavily, it automatically slows and re-sets itself. I've never had concerns that it is going to topple or "walk" while on the spin cycle!
Our is also on a riser with a drawer. Can't say enough good things about having it higher!!
Noise? We check on it, more often than not, to make sure we turned it on as it runs so quietly. It's another thing we love about it.
Yes, the wash cycle does take a longer than a regular top-loader. But, for us, the huge water-savings, using less soap and quiet are worth the small bit of extra time. I don't understand what the deal is with people complaining about it being a little longer?
Dh likes it and so does ds (age 13).
We didn't get the matching front-loading dryer (bought a different brand) and I wish we had. Not for the bells-&-whistles it offered (steam, etc), but for the riser height and ease of access. Our dryer has a huge capacity (I can dry 12+ pairs of jeans in one load) and works fine, but it is a royal pain-in-the-back to unload because of its depth and height of the drum. I am considering buying the matching Samsung dryer just for the body ease it will offer. -> -> -> Note to self: Do this soon, before the snow arrives and ice arrive and make delivery difficult!
Based on our raves about the washer, three of our neighbors, on local farms, bought the same washer and they all love there Samsung, as well! One bought the matching dryer and she can't say enough good things about it.
Feel free to ask me anything about our Samsung, we LOVE it!
FWIW, I have a Consumer Reports Samsung high efficiency TOP-loader, and I don't like it. For regular clothes it's ok, and it does have a large capacity. But I frequently find gunk still in the washer after even the sanitize cycle. That's not a problem when it's grass, but diaper solids? GROSS, even if it is "sanitized."

I live in the Capitol of Mildew, and you *have to leave the washer door open when not in use*-- top or front. This can be really inconvenient, but there is no other way. Front loader instructions I have read usually say you must leave the door open.
Anyhow, the reason I posted was because I just gave my 7-yo Kenmore front loader to our renters, and bought a new (closing-priced) GE set. I don't like the controls as well, but it's huge, and cleans and dries really well. Why I bring this up is because the set is still off-gassing petrochemical crap from the materials even 2 months after we installed it. It's not just the tubing (you can purchase flexible metal tubing, which would help.) I can't smell it now, but I know it's there still. I would absolutely not worry about baking soda compared to this! (BTW, my stinky, air-polluting new washer would probably clean just fine with no soap at all. My standards are pretty low, but I'm convinced.....)
"She is a mermaid, but approach her with caution. Her mind swims at a depth most would drown in."
I had a front loader I inherited from my dad when he lost his house (I did pay 400 to container ship several items plus like 150 for a uhaul) and I didn't care much for it.
my main complaints was smell (gotta leave that door open!) and the slime (on the gasket...gross!)
the sound was pretty bad, anytime family stayed with me they wouldn't listen about soap and pour in like a full cup of reg liquid detergent and i'd have to run the washer like 12x with a few towels until it stopped foaming. ugh.
when any of the fancier high end machines break down the circut boards are like 300+ to fix (mine blew during a storm. nothing else was effected) which with the service costs was like 400+ and new identical washer was like 600. um...no.
and I didn't have the stands for mine and while I was still crawling under desks with the greatest of ease, I really struggled to move wet clothes to dryer at 9m pregnant with my 11lber. thankfully my older son loved to "help" and for once he actually WAS a help! lol.
if I ever bought a HE washer again, i'd probably go with a toploading one.
I went with cheapest set possible, my washer fried about 2w before my second was born. I was having to take unpaid leave and my ex made barely anything so I was breadwinner, and our outside AC/heat thing went out and cost quite a lot to fix right after.....etc.
6 years later it's still working like a charm, and I think we paid like 700 for the washer/dryer set at conns.
Whirlpool -
similar to that one. Since mine are 6yrs old they have likely been upgraded by now.
I'm a warm/cold reg wash for everything sort of gal. I was doing cloth diapers when we bought it (and for next 3+ years) so I did a variety of settings back then, and I occasionally do a hot wash for towels/sheets, and cold/cold for some of my work clothes.
so far no complaints!

Nothing Should Taste This Good
The cheesecake milk shake ($7.29) at Katz's Deli (616 Westheimer, 713-521-3838) is no ordinary milk shake. It is liquid ecstasy. To make it, Katz's mixes a large slice of creamy New York-style cheesecake with two large scoops of vanilla ice cream and ice-cold whole milk. (Skim milk? Are you kidding?) Then they whirl it all together and top it off with -- what else? -- whipped cream. The result is an extra-thick, bone-chilling drink/dessert with large chunks of cheesecake that won't fit through any straw.

Staged Military Photo Ops Suddenly Awesome
posted at 6:54 am on April 14, 2009 by Jim Treacher
Back in 2003, the left was astonished and dismayed that George W. Bush got such a warm Thanksgiving welcome from our troops in Iraq, even after he was evil enough to send our troops to Iraq. So what did our friends on the port side do? Oh, the usual: They concocted a controversy out of whole cloth.
"Hey, that Thanksgiving turkey Bush was carrying looked pretty fake. Wait a second, I know… It was plastic! What a perfect metaphor for this whole fake war! Plastic turkey, plastic president. Am I right, people?"
They weren't right. They didn't even bother to find out if they were. But that didn't stop this weird, fact-free, too-good-to-check meme from oozing through the Internet until it finally dripped onto the desks of our finest bastion of journalistic certitude, the New York Times. Here's what Richard L. Berke said about it on July 4, 2004, in the middle of a thumbsucker about John Kerry (remember him?) trying to find some way to grab the nation's attention. Kerry was having a tough time because, well, he's John Kerry. But also because the wicked and nefarious George Bush kept stealing the spotlight:
And how does Mr. Kerry top the suspense-filled plot line of this White House, which regularly negotiates hairpin turns? Just last week, the handover of Iraq happened two days earlier than expected.
There are also the manufactured surprises, like Mr. Bush's cloak-and-dagger Thanksgiving trip to Baghdad, which drew praise even from Democrats. (The public relations bonanza fizzled after the press reported that Mr. Bush had posed with a mouth-watering – but fake – turkey.)
It took a week for the NYT to issue a correction, but at least they finally did:
An article last Sunday about surprises in politics referred incorrectly to the turkey carried by President Bush during his unannounced visit to American troops in Baghdad over Thanksgiving. It was real, not fake.
Which would seem to be no small matter, considering that this "fact" was being used far and wide to triumphantly prove the fundamental fakeness of the Bush administration. But then, this is the same newspaper that, just two months later, would run the headline "Memos on Bush Are Fake but Accurate, Typist Says." Fake, real, accurate, inaccurate… whatever!
Despite the NYT's correction, the meme of "Bush's plastic turkey proves he sucks and stuff" survives to this day, still popping up occasionally on the Internet and in "reputable" publications all over the world. Just ask the great Tim Blair, who has served as Turkey-Tracker #1 ever since the first outbreak of this particular form of mental illness.
Which brings us to 2009, and a new president who's on record as saying our troops in Afghanistan are "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians" indiscriminately. A president who opposed the Iraq War and, during his brief, stepping-stone tenure as a senator, voted against the surge. A president who's even more image-conscious than most (mainly because it's his one and only qualification for the job), and who's obviously stung by the rather lukewarm reception he's received from military audiences in the early days of his presidency.
So you're the president, you're making a surprise visit to Iraq, and you want to look good. But so far, the troops haven't really been falling all over themselves whenever you glide into the room. What do you do? How do you shut up those pundits who dare to take note of reality? Well, according to Macsmind:
…about that "surprise visit".
It wasn't. The visit was communicated a full 24 hours in advance and a small contingent of soldiers – not screaming hordes – were rustled into a meeting place at Camp Victory.
Got this email from a sergeant that was there.
We were pre-screened, asked by officials "Who voted for Obama?", and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up.
Take a look at the picture at AP and notice all the cameras are the same models. Coincidence? I think not.
How do you make sure a crowd likes you? Screen out anybody who didn't vote for you. Even if they're serving their country under your watch.
Flopping Aces and Redstate have followed up on this. Will they be the only ones? Will the American press try to confirm or debunk this claim? Will it make its way to the hallowed halls of the NYT?
Guess it all depends on how eager they really are to flush out a fake turkey.
Update: Whoops, sorry, I forgot… Allegedly.
Update: In the comments, somebody points to "Different Presidents, a Different Corps." I'm not sure that video is really fair, because it's comparing two different kinds of events. But it's the sort of thing that would bug me enough to stage my own celebratory photo op, if I were a narcissist.
Update: "Our people are doing the vetting. Even if some of it is hitting dead ends, other ones are striking direct hits. My role is to sit back and let the citizen journalists do their job, and I amplify the stuff that shakes out." So said noted thinker Markos Moulitsas, regarding the stories on the Daily Kos about Sarah Palin faking her pregnancy. If that newsgathering system is good enough for attacking the mother of a small infant, why isn't it good enough for questioning the authenticity of a photo op?
Update: Hey, did you know that if anybody in the crowd had a different kind of camera, that proves the Obama team couldn't possibly have handed out cameras? Good catch, Greg Sargent! I missed the part where the Obama team was accused of confiscating everybody's cameras before handing out their own, but it's good to see that pros like Sargent are on the case. (If it seems like I'm putting the burden of proof on the accused, see previous update.)
Update: Is it just me? Maybe it's just me.
Update: The Right Knight raises a good point… "My concern, however, would be the chilling effect on the (albeit constrained) political rights of these soldiers when they're asked by the elected Commander-in-Chief (through his staff) whether they voted for him. Someone please explain how in the hell that is his or anyone else's business? Has military service officially become a matter of political favor from top to bottom?" And: "Little do these Obama-loving soldiers know, they'll soon be monitored by Homeland Security upon their return from Iraq, much to the chagrin of the American Legion." But at least they got a hug out of the deal!

What style is your tank?
Just having got back into planted tanks seriously I was curious what syle everyone prefers for their own tank. Personally, I don't feel I have the artistic "eye" for some of what I see on here so what looks good to me is what it is.
Since I have more than one tank, I chose "my own style." Because even though I have a iwagumi, I'm not necessarily following any old school Japanese rock gardening principles. At least not intellectually. And even though my 20g is shaping up to look Dutch-esque, it's really meant to be a blend of wild nature meets orderly flower beds. And my 10g, I don't know what to call that.
So, yeah, my own style.
mine is traditional style, grow plants, have fish in it, so traditional.
I've started with background, mid and foreground plantings. Left open 'paths' between planted groups and no matter how it starts the plants just fill all the voids.
When the fish have to wiggle through the plants to swim or I can't find a hole for the food to drop through I mow the yard.:icon_lol:
So for me there is no "aquascaping"
I had to go with "My own style" since I didn't see "Hodge Podge Jungle" as a choice :)
I think you're missing many styles and style mixes so the poll isn't great.
I prefer dutch/natural
Yeah, I prefer wabi-sabi over everything else, and that's not on the list. Plus, I think "other" and "my own style" are could have been combined as one option.
The reason for "other" was that I wasn't sure if there were any other styles besides Dutch or Iwagami.
my style is collectorites so i chose my own style
I voted my own style, because most of my tanks are, however, I do have one "iwagumi", though, IDK how good I stuck to the rules. I just kinda fit the rocks together in an iwagumi shape.
I choose my own style too which is "el naturale jungle" :hihi:
The style must be my own..... no one else would want it!

Women's Golf Set to Compete at Cal Classic
Feb. 24, 2013
SAN DIEGO - The San Diego State women's golf team returns to the course this week when it heads to the Bay Area for the inaugural Cal Classic, Feb. 25-26, in Pleasanton, Calif. The Aztecs are one of 11 schools scheduled to compete in the two-day, 36-hole tournament, which commences on Monday at 9 a.m. PT on the par-72, 6,203-yard Ruby Hill Golf Club.
SDSU will be paired with host California and Arizona State for the first round, with the final 18 holes to be completed on Tuesday. The field also includes squads from Coastal Carolina, Fresno State, Oregon State, San Francisco, San Jose State, Stanford, UC Davis and UNLV.
Second-year head coach Leslie Spalding's starting lineup features freshman Emma Henrikson (Malmö, Sweden), the reigning Mountain West golfer of the week, along with senior Christine Wong (Richmond, British Columbia), junior Maureen Dunnagan (Lexington, S.C.) and sophomores Amy Alston (Carlsbad, Calif.) and Paige Spiranac (Scottsdale, Ariz.).
The Aztecs are coming off a fourth-place team finish in their last outing at The Gold Rush, Feb. 11-12, in Yorba Linda, Calif., where Henrikson and Wong cracked the top 10 on the individual leaderboard. Henrikson placed third with a three-round total of 10-over 226, while Wong tied for the 10th spot at 19-over 235.
For the season, Henrikson leads SDSU with a 75.13 stroke average through 15 rounds, which ranks sixth in the Mountain West, followed by Wong, who is tied for 11th with an average of 76.00
Following the Cal Classic, the Aztecs will be back in action next week when they participate in the Bruin Wave Invitational, March 4-5, at El Caballero Country Club in Tarzana, Calif.

The driver of the highest mileage vehicle on the road turns 70 years old today (it's longevity day here on Drive On, if you haven't noticed) and Volvo is helping him celebrate.
Irv Gordon's red 1966 Volvo P1800 has 2.8 million miles on it, and the septuaganarian says he wants to reach 3 million miles by his 73rd birthday.
"Three million miles is an iron clad number that I'd like to think sits right up there with DiMaggio's consecutive game hitting streak," Gordon said. "Who's going to beat that? No one."
Back in 1966, Gordon, a retired science teacher from East Patchogue, N.Y., drove 1,500 miles in the first 48 hours of owning his Volvo. He made the Guinness Book of World Records in 1998 when he hit 1.69 million miles, Volvo said in a congratulatory press release today.
Gordon says he's not sure what he'll do once he hits 3 million miles, but he'd considering selling it for $1 for every mile on the odometer.
"I used to think I'd park it in a museum where people will get to enjoy seeing the car that beat the odds - all with the same engine, same radio, same axles, same transmission and of course the same driver," Gordon said. "Now I think, 'no way.' I'll either keep driving it or sell it for $3 million."

taking two 50 chev trucks, and making a 4 door?
ok guys I need a tow vehicle that I can seat 4 people, and I'd like it to be a truck so I can use gooseneck trailers...
well I got another 3/4 ton 48 chevy (5 window) that I can get for $350 - doesn't have a bed. I have a 1953 3 window cab I can get for free, and a caddy 472 that I can get for $200 that runs.
I'm kinda thinkin of combining the two cabs, leaving the bed pretty short, and only extending the frame if necessary to accomodate the gooseneck, and seeing what I can come up with.
is this idea insane?
Not totaly insane but insane just the same. I can see the truck in my minds eye and it looks prety cool. Please keep in mind making the back doors is going to be a big deal. Maybe instead of making her a four door cab maybe you could build an extended cab. I know the job can be done because I saw where someone else built a tilt back or slant back truck using the same era chevy cab and making it a four door.
Good Luck
just kinda brain storming, but I need a tow rig... other then my time invested I think I could do the project for pretty cheap (and a few tools like a plasma cutter).
Of course anything to increase the tool collection
saw a truck kinda like this, but it was a factory version..originally a four door fire truck. All they did was take two trucks and make a four door out of it. They used the the driver's side door for the passenger side rear door, and vice-versa for the other rear door. They were suicide rear doors. It appears they took one cab and turned it backwards and welded the two halves together basically. If I can locate that magazine, I'll get more info for you. It was a pretty smooth ride and was done using two trucks.
another thought I've had is to get two doors, and do similair to what you stated... cut the doors in half, and join the back half of the drivers side to the back have of the passengers side and vs. turning the cab backwards would make the roof joings easy and smooth, but you'd have to cut it again and fabricate the back of one of the cabs back on after it was sectioned etc. to fit in.
stuff to think on... this summer I'm going to assemble the parts, and then sit on it until I got my 50 truck done. if I still feel I can do this montrous undertaking after I finish that then I'll dig into it.
Measure the cab. You have a pix of the white one i beleive.The AD cab doesnt like this deal very much.Its a hard one to pull off as the cab is a wedge.If this is your first Mig/plazma project i would do a rethink.the big guys have a real hard time with this one. I have only seen one that came close to looking OK and it was not all that great.Think i would look into a burb or panel(you could use a rusty one as the roof is the big deal,plus you will get a long frame) I bet a rusty panel truck would be a good start.But like i said get your welding and cutting skills in good working order before you try to pull this one off.Its a complete body build not just a little nip and tuck.Now that i think about it the panel with a donor rear panel really would be the way to go.You need to get a 3/4 or 1 ton frame anyway for the gooseneck.
ya know I never even thought of a burb... this is a project I was planning on doing without extending anything, just the caddy and a flatbed on a 48 3/4 frame with stock cab. as I got to thinkin I'm going to need to have 4 seats so I can take my family though.
I'm still going to assemble the parts, and then sit on it. worst case scenario is that I don't chop a cab up, and I still put a flatbed on the 48 3/4 ton frame with the caddy engine and have a 2 seater tow vehicle. I could either sell it, or maybe even trade it for a c series dullie or something? I don't know time will tell.
let just say that this isn't something I would even attempt to try and pull off right now.
The fire trucks refered to were made mainly for the military in the late 40's and early 50's. They did reverse the back doors and mount them suicide style. They were usually on a 2 or 5 ton chassis.

I saw a mint green truck like the one you described on an episode of the Trucks TV program that someone had built and boy was it cool. You might try going to truckstv.com and look thru the past episodes to see if you can find information on this.
thanks I'll have to check it out!
I have a 51 suburban & a delevery I will sell 1 of them or traid 4 frount end parts (sheet meatle)both bodys are missing fenders &hood im thinking about puting a door in pass side using back side of door frame on and cuting 2 doors and makeing them the size of the middle windo on pass side well just a tought
hmm... you got any pictures?
Solo: I have seen this done in "Classic Trucks" magazine a year ago. It was a 50's chev truck, the model with the rear corner windows. The builder used 3 donor vehicles. The builder cut the cab behind the doors and grafted a second cab on behind that, including the door opening. He used the rear half of the second door and took a third door and cut it in half from top to bottom using the left side door on the right and vice versa to make the two rear doors generally square when welded to the first. He used the rear half of the door opening from the third cab as a door frame and grafted that on behind the first cab and front of the second from top to bottom to accomodate the newly fabricated rear doors. If you can pull this one off, you have my respect.
don't worry if I can pull this one off I have my respect as well... LOL - this is one I would really like to pull off, but I think I'm going to get my current projects off my plate before I really contemplate this one again.

For the lulz, what I do it for.
momma on the phone askin if im still trappin
since the e was lowercase I figured that was what he was going for...
UEKS- Your e and u are curvy, and your k and s are sharp. Pick one or the other haha. The line in the middle of the u needs to come down further, S and E need a little bit of work on the letter structure. Start with keyboard block letters, forreal, then tweak them and make sure your letter width, and letter style stay the same. Obviously your practicing, it'll get better.

Haha, v's with round bubble letters are tricky, don't sweat it. It's hard to get the bottom to look right.
Three steps to self-assessing your work (learned this in a college art class, that I soon dropped out of):
Look at it from your peripheral to assess aesthetics, basically just to see if it looks right subconciously, without paying attention to the details or individual pieces.
Then, i guess when it comes to graffiti, compare the letters to eachother as far as height, width, line thickness, 3d, etc.
To finish it off, look at each letter (or piece of your drawing) as an individual, cover the rest of it if you have to, and make sure it's what you want it to be, resembles the original keyboard style letter, and has the same style as how you want your piece to look.

it looks good rype except the r looks more like an a to me
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
Ive been doin it a while but i never learned anything until now so hope you like it
Your letter spacing is way off in the top one. line width is off on the D and the middle of the E.... Don't put the one in your throwie, if your going to put it anywhere, put it in your tag, but personally, I'd say keep your tag the way it is.
make one with all your letters in the bottom style. Just work on the width of the B. Other than that, I like it.
Use your tag thats above the top one. I like it as well.
hey i cant figure out how to get letter spacing down and like this?

Hmmm tryin to get better at R but E was just a accident while i was making it
Looks like an F to me
Thanks dudes I'll work on it.
ignore the horrible P, working on my R, opinions on this R compared to the other?

Bored- look at your E, see how all the other letters have a flush and flat left side, and the E is all messy on the left? Also, work on the other side of the E use a few curvy lines like the rest of your letters. Make your O and Ethe same size as the rest of your letters, they're a little bit bigger.
To check my letter width, I start with the end of my pen/pencil on one side of my letter, and grab it at the end of the first letter, then pick it up and check each letter is the same width.
For letter spacing, with a pencil, lightly draw the outline of the parts of the letters that are covered up, and make sure the space thats overlapped is pretty much the same each time. erase it if it's right, if not, leave it, and try again, looking to see where you can fix it in the one that now shows where your mistakes are. It gets easier the more you do it.

An art sale and expo at the University of Northern Colorado June 30-July 3 will feature paintings, sculptures and handmade items including jewelry created by veterans and military-connected artists who include veterans' family members.
The display and sale will run from noon to 5 p.m. June 30 and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 1 through July 3 at UNC's Office of Veterans Services in Roudebush Cottage, west of the intersection of 8th Avenue and 18th Street.
Submissions from veterans and military connected artists are still being accepted. To be considered, work must be submitted by June 14. Contact the Office of Veterans Services at (970) 351-1403 for details.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale will benefit Student Veterans of America to help fund campus initiatives aimed at increasing student involvement.
"It gives artists a springboard and showcases what veterans can do," said Thomas Gardiner, a military veteran and UNC student who is organizing the event and whose paintings and photography will be a part of the gallery.
Gardiner, who works with the nonprofit art organization "Arts of Valor," also said engaging in the artwork is "therapeutic" and provides an outlet for expression.

Bloody Disgusting learned exclusively this evening that Gold Circle Films is looking to develop a remake of the Thai horror thriller Silk, which was directed by Chao-Bin Su. No word on a writer yet. Beyond the break you can read all about the original from from 2006 (now available on DVD from Tartan Palisades) and check out the trailer.
In the original from '06, when a Canadian research photographer is killed, leaving behind a photo of a boy in an otherwise empty room, paranormal investigative scientist, Hashimoto, and his team investigate the scene. Armed with a newly invented material they capture the ghost: an unidentified 13-year old boy. Who is this ghost? Why does it kill people? As they seal off the room and monitor the captured spirit, they soon learn that even though it's energy can be visibly seen, humans are unable to hear it. In an effort to learn the ghost's past, Hashimoto's team enlists the help of special agent Ye, gifted with extraordinary eyesight and ability to lip-read. As Ye gets closer to solving the riddle of the boy's past, he learns the horrifying truth of the boy's death. Fearing that the ghost child is dangerous, the team decides to isolate the ghost but in doing so they unknowingly unleash a mysterious force, a much more powerful and ferocious energy to which the boy somehow seems connected.

In this edition of Politics Weekly, Tony McNulty, the Police Minister, and Shami Chakrabarti, the director of Liberty, go head to head after Gordon Brown's wafer think victory in the 42 day vote in the Commons.
Tony McNulty dismisses the speech by the Labour rebel Diane Abbott, who condemned Gordon Brown for a "grubby bazaar" after a series of inducements were offered to Labour MPs and the nine Democratic Unionist MPs. Shami Chakrabarti rallies to the defence of the rebels. Tom Clark, the Guardian leader writer, wades into the McNulty / Chakrabarti spat to explain why the Guardian accused Gordon Brown of failing to live up to the progressive ideals he promised when he became Prime Minister last year.
Simon Hoggart, the Guardian's parliamentary sketchwriter, describes the scenes in the Commons during the vote. Michael White, the Guardian's senior political commentator, answers a simple question: so why did Gordon do it?
We also discuss Afghanistan after a suicide bombing took to 100 the number of British service personnel killed in the country since 2001. Tony McNulty talks of a "global village" in which the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq have a direct impact on Britain. Shami Chakrabarti takes exception to an interview by David Miliband in which the Foreign Secretary said Britain is no longer defended from the White Cliffs of Dover but from the new frontline in Afghanistan.

Traffic Light Food Labels Help Shoppers Make Healthier Choices
Red, amber and green labels will appear on most packaging in the UK to try to end shoppers' confusion over what to buy.
New consistent labels for food packaging will be appearing in the UK to help shoppers make healthier choices about the food they buy. Public Health Minister Anna Soubry launched the new labels this week, following research that shows people are often confused by the different nutrition labels on food.
The government-mandated red, amber and green food labels feature nutritional information to show how much fat, saturated fat, salt, sugar and calories a food product contains. Companies like PepsiCo, Nestlé, Mars, McCain Foods and Premier Food have agreed to use these front-of-pack nutritional labels.
All the major UK retailers, including Sainsbury's, Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, the Co-operative and Waitrose, will also be using the consistent label on their products. The proposed system and the label design was agreed upon after detailed discussions with the UK governments working with the food industry, health NGOs and other partners.

Marquez's pole lap was a spectacular effort, which saw him arrive at the final chicane sliding slightly sideways as he dived down the outside of the slower-moving Simone Corsi and still come through to beat his rivals by nearly half a second.
The Spaniard then had a high-side at Turn 5 on his next run, but was unhurt - despite a heavy landing - and able to right his bike and return to the pits.
Title contender Pol Espargaro (Pons) was on top until the Monlau rider deposed him five minutes from the end, leaving Espargaro to hang on for second.
Andrea Iannone completed the front row for Speed Master.
It was a good day for some of Moto2's Swiss contingent, as Team Switzerland's Randy Krummenacher achieved his best Moto2 grid spot yet in fourth, just ahead of compatriot Dominique Aegerter (Technomag-CIP), who equalled his Moto2 career best. But Switzerland's title protagonist Thomas Luthi was only 10th on the Paddock Suter.
Corsi (Ioda) qualified sixth, ahead of British duo Scott Redding (Marc VDS) and Bradley Smith (Tech 3), with Alex de Angelis's Forward FTR next up.
The session also saw crashes for Italtrans' Claudio Corti, QMMF duo Anthony West and Elena Rosell, and JIR's Johann Zarco. All escaped injury.

Balance shafts and lifetime timing belts......LOL! VW is at it yet again! Haven't they learned anything?
Still need more info about those lifetime belts
However, with those power numbers, this is an extremely versatile engine. Could be effectively put in anything from a compact to a midsize crossover.
Lifetime timing belt = 100k miles right?

Very interesting, indeed.
I didn't see it in the article; when is this supposed to arrive in NA-Market cars?
steamID: GHOST[9] - [l4d/l4d2/CS:S] // PSN: GHOSTtoast85
I read a lot of books. Cigars are tasty. I'm a big ole nerd.
Timing belt better have a lifetime warranty.
How do these urea systems work? Do I have to take a piss into the tank everytime I go for a drive or what?
im excited, i really do hope it comes over to NA
with urea injection MPG's should remain higher or at least the same as current 2.0 TDI.
and with that hp / tq ill be happy to pick one up when its time for a new vehicle.
now just have to figure out who will be first to upgrade
me '10 GOLF TDI 6MT
or my g/f '07 Rabbit 5MT

"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us are. Very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad."
Tiguan Diesel?
Looks like some innovative packaging, and the power numbers look pretty dang good.
The urea additive is stored in a tank that you top off every 20,000mi or so, depending on how much the emissions system has to use.
The change interval for the old 1.8T's timing belt was 105,000mi/10 years, so I'd expect a "lifetime" belt to be longer than that.
The real innovation is that the belt runs through the oil sump and gets lubricated by the crankcase oil, extending its life.
This is another reason that I expect it to have a service life more like a chain--there's no reason to go through the trouble of implementing a new system like that just to get 100,000mi out of a timing belt, they can already do that with 10-year-old technology.
Lifetime belt? Like VW's lifetime ATF?
What is their definition of lifetime?
More like, timing belt will last past the warranty period, then you're on your own.
Hopefully they'll get rid of that useless oil dipstick too!
My point is, why would they use a brand-new oil-lubricated belt system that only lasts 105k miles? They can already design normal t-belt that lasts that long. Therefore, unless VAG likes spending R&D money for no reason, I expect the "lifetime" belt to be more like 150/200k miles.
Of course, until the design has been proven I'd still feel better changing it at 100k miles anyway.
BTW, I remember reading about these new lubricated belts not too long ago. It wasn't VW that developed the system, it was a belt manufacturer, but I can't remember who. Anyone else remember this?
That would be a beast.
Too want.

any idea what this is going in? We need the GTD in 'merica!

Seems too good to be true.
Here's some more information on the timing belt. I found this a few weeks ago after hearing about the lifetime belt in the new Ford 1.0T 3-cylinder.

I thought the DPFs we had in our lab were the full on Semi-truck versions (it's not my project) but there is one, right there (the larger one).
Those are some nice power figures.
The article links to the new gassers too. There's some fancy technology going into these engines. Pretty cool ****.

All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.

Ok I am new to the Bug Out Bag or B.O.B. Since I live in a Rural area. What kind of bag do I need and what to pack in it? It will with me EDC, in my car and at home. Thanks for any and all info.
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
excellent forum for these items (and all post apocalyptic survival info.) some really great info there.
Everyone's BoB requirements are a bit different, but there are many components that are commonly considered "must haves".
BoB's can be simple, some are modular, some are ridiculously complex.
We consider our BoB's to be a "living" collection of supplies and tools and they're changing all the time.
You might want to search YouTube for "bug out bag" just to get some ideas from what others are using, then mold that collective concept into whatever works for you.

The war in Iraq is the first in nearly a hundred and fifty years in which no general has been killed in action. During the Civil War, generals frequently raised their swords and led attacks. Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, of the House Armed Services committee recently blasted mid-grade and senior service members of planning trips into Iraq and Afghanistan that have little or no practical purpose other than to qualify them for a month's worth of danger pay and combat zone tax exclusions.
"I am outraged," he said. "This has got to stop. There are people out there being shot at every day for real, not for some made-up reason. There are people cheating, and they know who they are if they are making up reasons to visit the war zone just for the benefits…while we are here talking, somebody is dying in Iraq while somebody else is scheming how to make up a trip to the Green Zone for the weekend so that they can buy a new pickup truck."
There is no doubt people are cheating. But isn't the cheating symbolic of a culture within the White House and the cabinet of cheating and lying? Alberto Gonzales "can't remember," "Brownie" is doing a "heck of a job" handling Katrina, and Halliburton is making billions off a war. The origin of cheating lies in failure on the part of George Bush to demand everyone become serious about the war in Iraq. That means no one profits from the war. That means everyone, including the wealthy, pay taxes. That means a draft to ensure everyone serves the nation. I assure one and all, if we got that serious, the war in Iraq would be concluded within a month.

You are right. If you have to travel more than 100 miles without a recharge then obviously this is not the car for you. But for most people their daily commute is less than 50 miles a day.
So if you have a car capable of 100 miles you could drive gas free everyday. Add the capability to charge at work as many have done and maybe you double your commute range to 200 miles.
As for buying a battery, Ford has warrantied the battery for 8yr/100k so that is not something you would have to do for at least that time frame. And it is very likely that batteries in 8 years will be more powerful, lighter, and less expensive.
The battery for the Volt has dropped from 12k to 8k in one year.

What are Scholarly Journals?
Scholarly journals are a type of periodical (also called serial), which are publications printed in intervals that continue to be printed for an indefinite period of time. Magazines and newspapers are also types of periodicals. For college research projects, your professors may often require you to use scholarly journals. The table below outlines some of the characteristics of scholarly journals and the differences between them and magazines.
Scholarly journals are often referred to as refereed or peer-reviewed journals. Refereed journals contain articles that are evaluated by at least one subject expert in addition to the editor before being accepted for publication. Before accepting a peer-reviewed journal for publication, editors solicit the impartial opinions of several subject experts from the research and academic community.
|Scholarly Journals v. Magazines
Scholarly Journals
Popular Magazines
|Publish articles written by scholars and researchers. Journals are often published by professional associations. Articles in journals usually include bibliographies.
|Publish articles written for a general audience. Articles in magazines rarely include bibliographies.
|Language Style/Audience (Readers)
|Written in technical language for professors, researchers, and students in a particular field.
|Written in simple, non-technical language for the general public.
|The author is usually an expert or specialist in the field; name and credentials (degrees, etc.) are always provided.
|The author is usually a professional writer on the staff of the magazine or a journalist; names may not be given.
|Length/Types of Information
|Usually longer articles that present original research and original interpretation of data or in-depth analysis of topics.
|Usually shorter articles, with general facts about a subject.
|Bibliography (Works Cited)
|A bibliography and/or footnotes are always present to credit and document sources of information used in the article.
|Usually no formal bibliography, although names of reports and other sources may be identified in the text of the article.
|Editors/Review of Articles
|Scholarly articles are usually reviewed and evaluated by a board of experts ("editorial board") in the field. This is known as "peer-reviewed" or "refereed." Most Easley Library databases allow you to limit your search to "peer-reviewed" journals.
|Articles are evaluated by editors on staff.
|Graphs, maps, statistics, or photographs that support the articles. Usually few ads.

Wayne & Margie Fox Award – 2014
- The Fox Award targets exemplary College of Business and Management undergraduate students who successfully complete internships with a Springfield nonprofit organization. Each year Wayne and Margie Fox make a generous $2500 award to the university with the intent to honor two students. Jill Gossett of Springfield and John Howard of Peoria earned the award for 2014.
- John Howard, a recent BBA graduate, interned with the Springfield Community Federation, a non-profit which strives to improve the lives and life outcomes of disadvantaged single adults, families, and children in central Illinois. The primary mission of SCF is to promote community strategies that strengthen family support networks and alleviate poverty for vulnerable children and families. The Federation acts as a clearinghouse for community collaboration including programs offering education and networking for community support providers, referral services for food and basic family needs, and child & family wellness outreach.
- Jill Gossett, a Summer 2013 BBA graduate, completed her internship at District 23 Mercantile & Foundry, a store benefiting the Cochlear Implant Awareness Foundation (CIAF). The foundation was started in 2006 by Michelle Tjelmeland, herself deaf since the age of 25 and the mother of a daughter who is also deaf. Both are able to hear today because of cochlear implant technology. CIAF has provided help and recycled implant parts to more than 500 families in their search to find information and resources about the surgery. After the success of the foundation, the retail store was the next step to help support the foundation and was opened on Macarthur Boulevard.The main focus of Jill's internship at District 23 Mercantile & Foundry encompassed the buying and merchandising part of the retail business. Jill said that she learned so much and enjoyed the experience immensely: " I will definitely continue to volunteer at District 23. It is a great store, great people, and it supports a great cause. I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with them." Read more about Jill's internship
- Jill Harbison and Sinen Aydin, both BBA students, received the 2012 Wayne and Margie Fox award.Business administration student Jill Harbison was awarded for her work with the Girl Scouts of Central Illinois. Jill assisted with development and facilitation of events, assisted with developing and maintaining outreach with churches and schools, cultural groups, and service and professional organizations to enhance visibility, fund raising, membership and program options for GSCI. She also maintained proper records and reports. She participated in direct service to girls in a variety of in-school tutoring and scouting projects as well as presentations to develop troop membership. GSCI is comprised of 7 service centers across 38 counties. It serves 20,000 girls and 5000 adult members annually. Jill completed her undergraduate degree in May and is now a graduate student in the Public Administration program as well as a Graduate Public Service Intern with the Illinois Department of Healthcare & Family Services.
- Business administration student Sinem Aydin was also awarded for her work for the Old State Capitol Historic site. She reconstructed its Facebook page and website especially implementing ways to make the site appealing to all cultures. She assisted in organizing and reviewing the annual report, created a survey for local businesses to analyze results of tourist activity, recruited volunteers, and assisted with summer event planning. Sinem anticipates completing her degree in May 2013.
- Wayne and Margie Fox were both reared and educated in central Illinois. Wayne graduated from Ball Township High School in Chatham with Margie graduating from Springfield High School. Wayne continued to further his education with an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering, and a Master in Business Administration from Sangamon State University (now UIS). Wayne started his career with the Illinois Commerce Commission, and recently retired as president of an out of state Fortune 500 gas and electric utility. During this time, Margie stoked the home fires and served as Wayne's advisor and best friend, and mom to their only child, Justin, now married and living in the Minneapolis, Minnesota, area. Throughout their adult lives, Margie and Wayne have freely given of their time and resources to make their communities a better place in which to live and work. With this award, the University will be able to recognize those students who choose to give of their talent, time and acquired skills to serve the good of the community without expectation of monetary compensation. The Foxes hope to encourage and further that expressed sense of volunteerism on the part of the award recipient, into a lifelong practice. Wayne and Margie now make their home on Lake Tellico, near Knoxville, Tennessee.

Joel---HUGH THE JUG-HEAD & SATANPSEUDO-LOGIC, HUGH THE JUG-HEAD & SATAN:
1) It's easy to label a person who refers to the devil as anachronistic or retrograde simply because the one making the accusation is not intuitive, logical or mystical enough to perceive the unbalanced aspects of conscious energy that in simplistic terms manifest in the human being (or in animals) as insanity, cruelty, murder, deceit, bloodthirstiness, sado-masochism, anger, vindictiveness, hardheartedness and other negative aspects of personality. No darkness, no light; no evil, no goodness - within the lower dimensions of mind, vital-emotions and matter, the universal consciousness force manifests as a dualism or in terms of the opposites. The higher realms are free of the dualisms and the unified principle comes into the play with neither good nor bad given freedom to act independent of each other and so logically speaking when the opposites are united neither good nor bad can manifest and as such something other than they - the root mechanism of both but which exceeds both these aspects - comes into manifestation. This is the nondual transcendental state that gets progressively more and more refined as one progresses up the cosmic hierarchy.
2) Of course, dear Hugh is simply talking about the devil, or about G-d, or about heaven, or about hell, through his stinking black ar-se that's covered with ugly warts and black fuzz.
3) Hugh knows nothing about any these supraphysical entities referred to above through direct experiences in supersenuous states of consciousness but like a dumbo he's simply referring to them or believes in them because he's read about these things in scriptures.
4) Since Hugh Jughead repeatedly refers to the devil, doesn't he know that there's no mention of Satan in the Tanakh which is because YHVH is itself an asura and so how can an asura talk about itself or of any of its minions in a negative light? And, surely, dear Hugh bum, has read about the devil being referred to several times by that dumb-ass Jesus in the NT. Ironically, while Jesus warned people about the devil he himself was unaware of the fact that his heavenly father was the devil itself in view of the fact that Jesus considered himself an incarnation of YHVH - the devil.
Hugh---Correcting your senior moment gives, "HUGH battles THE JUG-HEAD & SATAN"
Joel---Of course, dear Hugh is simply talking about the devil, or about G-d, or about heaven, or about hell, through his stinking black ar-se that's covered with ugly warts and black fuzz.
Hugh---It is a pity that your fuzz is grey and that you consider your white wart infested butt as beautiful.
