Average pay in Poland is about 2000PLN (1k $ is 3800PLN) so its good enough as for "working" on graphicriver 1400$ would be perfect and better than full time job but its a bit too far to achive I think
not too far. I also experienced that if you are active in different categories you could boost your sales much quicker.
wish you the best my friend, i hope you can achieve your goals very soon
Piotr_Markowiak said
I like Your numbers ercn1903 how much time U spendin on envato? Is this your only job or You also doing some contract/part time? Your portfolio looks very good
thank you very much! I started to test the waters with 1-2 items long time ago… later on I uploaded an item every 2-4 months… now im working more concentrated on my items but still less than part time. if you do quality products you can easily achieve that $1000/month. however i think $1000 in your country is not so much wish the best for you
thank you for your posts so far… i will wait 2 more days and then pick 2
well, basically to leave sevenstyle great numbers behind… i think you can easily achieve $1000/month here on envato – especially if you devote 160h into it. however, I would recommend you a smooth transition between part time envato and full time envato – just to be on the safe side
Rembassio said
why should envato do that? isnt their main pupose to sell most? why should they "hide" items of specific authors?
Envato not lose anything by it! We lose, the authors! Algorithms draw deeply from old and less sold works that buyers buy because others are undetectable.
You may not have sales on that, because at some time you do not upload new items on the market. So, this leads to controlled sales of successful authors and enables less successful authors can not leave the market and sell works. This is a strategy! But ….. there are authors that are not affected by the algorithms. Why? ... I do not know!
oh i see, now it makes sense
hi everybody,
i have 2 dribbble invites to give away.
i will choose the ones with the most impressive portfolios here, just respond in this thread
i would also appreciate if you follow me here on GR and on dribbble -> https://dribbble.com/ercn1903
thank you, ergün

Like I've said earlier, there's probably a hidden parameter in the search algorithm to selectively promote items from certain authors on certain days / weeks (which leads to seemingly 'random' search results)
why should envato do that? isnt their main pupose to sell most? why should they "hide" items of specific authors?
Eid Mubarak also from me

If I'm not mistaken, all should have received their invite by now. If not, please ping me and I'll shoot another one your way. Thanks!
any invite for me too?

Skillet Street Food Bacon Spread - Fennel and Black Pepper, 10.5 oz. Jar
Holy cats, this stuff is the freaking bomb! I got it a few months ago when they had it on sale. It's delish! You can find recipes online, too.
Bought these last time. Yum! Very rich, though. I keep them in the freezer since I don't use them very often. Yum!
So glad I got some this time!
I liked it, though it's more BBQ than bacon.
Actually, my reaction to this stuff was ick. And the recipes the company offers are disappointing and few.
Dangit, if I didn't have to watch my sodium I'd be all over this.
Finally a sure fire way to turn my husband on!
So glad to see this I wasted no time clicking through. The last two wootoffs, once it showed up in the wee hours and once there was exactly one unit to sell. I can't at all taste bacon in it, but I don't care -- it's great and goes on almost every sandwich I make.

Once, on what might otherwise have been a perfectly lovely day in 2009, in an effort to get our users to buy some fire extinguishers from us, we wrote and recorded this song about fire extinguishers. Did it work? History does not record the fact. But it seems impossible to imagine anyone listening to this killer track and then NOT buying a fire extinguisher. Right?

IMAGE-- This double tenement was built sometime before 1788, when it was depicted on the "lchno graphy" (phoenix fire insurance map) of that year. As its appearance is very urban, it was built probably after the subdivision of the Glebe Lands in 1770. The builder has not been documented. ln the division of the Glebe Lands in 1797, the lot on which the double building stands was conveyed to St. Michael's Church which retained title until 1953. Eighty-seven Wentworth was remodeled in the late 19th century, with the half story being raised to a full story, but 89 Wentworth retains its original 18th century appearance. Unusual features include the jerkin-head roof and the rusticated arched entrance to the one-level piazza at 89 Wentworth. The structures share a common wall and common chimneys, & are partly built of Bermuda stone.

IMAGE: ON RIGHT-- John S. Riggs built these two brick houses, along with 15, 17 and 19 St. Philip St., in 1859-60 as tenements. The ltalianate style building retains mantles, woodwork and plasterwork in the florid
style of the period. Riggs subsequently, in 1866, founded Charleston's first street car system. He live for many years in the Joseph Manigault House. (Stockton, DYKYC, Jan. 1, 1973, Dec. 30, 1974)
-- St. Michael's Church built this tiny one-story frame structure in 1900 for lease to Dr. Charles M. Rees, physician, as his office. The building replaced a one story brick building of about the same size, which had been occupied by James B. Dacosta a black cobbler, as his shop. The building is a type of vernacular structure which was once common in Charleston and is gradually becoming rarer.
(Stockton, DYKYC, May 5, 1980)
IMAGE-- This frame house was built c. 1850 on land leased from St. Philip's Church. lt formerly was turned lengthways, with the piazza facing the street. Jacob Knobeloch, a flour dealer who bought the property in
1881, turned the house sideways to the street and thoroughly remodeled the exterior, replacing the siding with German siding, adding a mansard roof with cast iron cresting, new piazza elements and entrance door. The interior, however, retains plasterwork and mantel typical of the 1850s. (Thomas, DYKYC, June 15, 1970)
IMAGE-- This two and one-half story brick house with sandstone window sills was built probably between 1830 and 1840 on land leased from St. Michael's Church, which retained ownership of the lot until 1945. The house varies from the single house plan by having an entrance on the street side and a side hall with adjoining first floor rooms. A twin formerly stood at 95 Wentworth.

IMAGE: TOP OF PAGE--For further information, visit the Grace Church History web page by clicking here. To return to the Charleston Multimedia Project, click the BACK button on your browser.. Grace Protestant Episcopal Church was founded in 1846. The purpose of the founders was to establish a church in the center of Charleston; at the time Wentworth Street was in the center of the city. The initial 60 members worshiped in the College of Charleston chapel until the church was completed. Built in 1847-48, it was designed by architect Edward Brickell White, and is one of his most beautiful Gothic Revival buildings. E.W. Brown was the contractor. The church was closed in January 1864 due to the Federal bombardment of the city. A shell crushed one of the central columns and destroyed 12 pews. The church reopened in March 1865, the first and for some time the only Episcopal church open in the city. The rector, the Rev. Dr. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, was ordered to pray for the President of the United States and Federal soldiers stood at attention in the aisle to enforce the order. Dr. Pinckney complied, stating, "l known of no one who needs praying for more than the President of the United States." The church was heavily damaged by the 1886 earthquake and repairs cost more than the original construction. Members of the congregation have included the late congressman L. Mendel Rivers.

IMAGE-- This house was built c. 1858 by William Johnson, dealer in grain, building materials and coal, on a lot leased by his family since 1771 from St. Philip's Church. The facade was rebuilt after the earthquake of 1886. According to family tradition, the Johnson women sat on the roof and prayed for Grace Church's steeple not to fall. ln 1890, the family purchased the lot from St. Philip's. lt was the home from 1873-1934, of Dr. William Henry Johnson, who started the orthopedic school at the Medical college and brought the first x-ray to Charleston. Dr. Johnson exercised by throwing an anvil about the yard and invented a pressure cooker which fitted to the radiator of his automobile. The property is now part of the College of Charleston.

IMAGE ON RIGHT: 120 Wentworth St.--IMAGE: 122 Wentworth --These two frame dwellings were built by John Burckmeyer, a butcher, sometime after he purchased the property in 1791 and before his death about 1811. He is listed as living in this part of Wentworth Street in the 1796 city directory. According to tradition, Burckmeyer lived at 122 Wentworth while 120 Wentworth was under construction. Both houses were built as two and one-half stories of wood on high brick basements and retain late 18th century features. Both, however, have been remodeled and expanded more than once. 120 Wentworth remained in Burckmeyer's family until 1830, while 122 Wentworth remained in the family until 1845.

(Stockton, DYKYC, July 28, 1980)
IMAGE: ON RIGHT-- This two story stuccoed brick dwelling house, in the Greek Revival style, was built c. 1840 by Edwin L. Kerrison, a founder of the dry goods business that evolved into the present Kerrison's department store. Kerrison advertised it for rent in 1842 stating it had been "recently built." lt has been speculated that the house was designed by architect Russell Warren of Rhode lsland. The Tower of the Wind columns of the portico, the row of heavy dentils under the roof and window details are similar to such features in the Shepard House in Providence, R.l., which was designed by Warren c. 1840. The front door is copied from Minard LeFevre's book on Greek Revival architecture. Water from the cistern was piped to various buildings; this was an early use of plumbing in Charleston, although it was common by the 1850s. The octagonal bathhouse in the rear is mentioned in the 1842 advertisement. From 1947 to 1970, the house was the headquarters of the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina. Since 1970 it has been a private residence.

IMAGE-- This two and one-half story frame house on a high brick basement is post-Revolutionary with simple but good Adamesque interior details. For many years it was the home of the Fleming family from whom descended Mary Jane Ross, who in 1922 placed the property in trust to a board of commissioners, to be used for charitable purposes and as a memorial to the services of Charleston women during World War I and the influenza epidemic of 1918.

IMAGE-- Rodgers' Mansion. Charleston's best example of the Second Empire style, was built in 1885-87 by Francis Silas Rodgers, a wealthy cotton factor, phosphate manufacturer and coastwise shipper. His architect was Daniel G. Waynes. The Second Empire style, named for the reign of Emperor Napoleon lll of France, during which the mansard roof (a 16th century invention) was revived, was popular in the U.S. from the 1850s to the 1890s. The interior is elaborately finished in mahogany, oak and walnut, with tile floors and ornate plasterwork, marble mantels and crystal chandeliers which were designed for the house. Rodgers, a member of City Council and Chairman of the Board of Firemasters for 31 years, organized the city's first paid professional fire department. He liked to watch for fires from the cupola of his house and attended every fire in the city until shortly before his death. Cotton, a major source of his wealth, is memorialized in the bas-relief cornice over the front bay window which depicts cotton plants. After Rodgers' death, the building became the Scottish Rite Temple and the star of that order is set into the sidewalk at the front gate. The house has been the headquarters of Atlantic Coast Life lnsurance company since 1940.

Lafitte, a commission merchant and shipper whose firm was closely associated with John Fraser & Co., blockade runners during the Civil War. As par of the U.S. Government's attempt to collect custom duties allegedly owed by the company on its greatly profitable activities during the war, this property, which Lafitte had mortgaged to the company, was sold in 1873 to Savage Deas Trenholm. lt remained in his family until 1889, when it was purchased by Carsten Wulbern, a wholesale groceries and provisions merchant.

Suspension, Brakes and Tires Discussion, 1985 deville (elc relays) in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; how many relays does this cadillac have for the elc? i see what looks like a relay on the compressor ...

1985 deville (elc relays)
how many relays does this cadillac have for the elc? i see what looks like a relay on the compressor mount, is that for the elc? i know there is one under the dash, and two fuses. i want to hook the elc back up, i have two new delco air shock and new springs, i hooked the compressor back up and now it does not come on, however the level light come on in the car when you start it up. when i was hooking up the wires i touched the compressor mounting bracket with the black wire and saw a spark, i'm thinking maybe now i have a bad fuse or relay. i'll get this thing to work again, i hope thanks
Re: 1985 deville (elc relays)
update, just checked the fuses, #14 elc batt 20amp fuse was bad, after replacement of fuse the leveling light cycles correctly after car is started, however the pump did not because its not connected, if fuse #14 is bad will it prevent the pump from coming on? the fuse most likely was fried when i was messing with the pump wiring. now all i have to do is figure out where the four wires from the pump get connected to the car. the pump is not from a 85 deville, i beleive its from maybe a 87/88, the wiring is slightly different on the pump (black, green, and two orange wires) the car has (one red, one white, one yellow and one black wire). any idea would be greatly appreciated
Re: 1985 deville (elc relays) update ( system modification):gg:
update, the compressor does work however i was having trouble with the level sensor not turning on the compressor, the level light would come on but the compressor would not, i was able to make the compressor run all the time ignition off the only way to shut it off would be to pull the elc fuse, then i thought if i get this thing to run all the time let me get a toggle switch and operated manually when needed, went to radio shack and got a nice toggle switch/ wire and all needed items, $16.00 worth. mounted the switch under the dash very professional looking and looks great. the only thing is if you put to much air in you have to pop the hood and detach the air hose to release some pressure, not bad its better then not having the level system not working at all and draging my trunk around town. this car does have brand new springs and strats all the way around and rides good. does anybody now high much air the system should have in it and how high the back should be for the best possible ride, also where should i messure the height (ex moulding behind the rear wheel well?). thanks for reading mike

Face Pi Celsius
I just finished this custom for a contest at Spankystokes.com It remains both simple and complex at the same time. I did some research to make sure there were no other designs even remotely close to mine. I flipped the head around and used the hole, generally used for securing the head to the body, as the mouth. Large bulbous tongue included. I fastened the head to the neck with some magic sculpt and painted the polymer after it hardened. The wings make the figure back -heavy, so I gave it the large tongue to balance it out. This is all brixpix in style. I love comix and animation and this piece is a celebration of the pen. I named it Face Pi Celsius after my face pi bracelet. Squishy little faces in all colors and shapes. Most sticking their tongues out. (Almost a theme of this toy) The 1st 2nd and 3rd place winners of this contest will be invited to have their toy displayed among other toy customizing professionals' entries at the 510 Celsius show in September in Fremont, California. Good thing Face Pi Celsius has wings. He might be flying out west very soon!

Time is an elastic thing. When you're young, it stretches on forever; it seems the way things are now are the way they always have been – and always will be.

As you grow up, you learn that time's elasticity seems to shrink and tighten (much like skin, but that is another column). As you mature, it speeds up so much that your head starts to spin as you try to keep pace with all the changes and incoming data you have to process.

That's the point I am at now.

By the time you read this, I will be ensconced in a new office, about 15 short highway minutes away, as acting managing editor at Hamilton Community News. In my chair at 30 Main St. will be Catherine O'Hara, whom many of you know from her role as reporter for the past six years. She will be ably assisted in my absence by Dianne Cornish and newcomer to the Review team, Kathy Yanchus, who has worked in several Metroland newsrooms (most lately the Burlington Post and the Milton Canadian Champion).

As regular readers of this column know, I live in Waterdown and love working in Flamborough so this change – even though hopefully temporary – was not an easy one to make. In fact, the decision to help out here while the real HCN editor, Rod Jerred, battles a particularly nasty form of melanoma was nearly undone when it came time to box up some 12 years worth of working life miscellany to make enough room for Catherine to settle in.

Over a couple of days last week, I took a (rather rushed) walk down memory lane as I unearthed letters, thank-you notes, photos (the kind you can hold in your hand), floppy disks (remember those?), theatre programs and mementoes from events dating back to 2001. I am certain I will never need to refer to my notes on a BIA meeting in 2002…but I'm not ready to part with them quite yet, either. I also found the fish bowl and net for my deceased office pet, Sparkles, invitations, awards certificates and, oddly, a pair of socks.

No, I am not a pack rat; before now there was just never any reason to part with anything…so I kept everything. And I'm glad I did, because each item I touched took me right back to where – and who – I was when I covered it for the Review.

More telling, the exercise told me who I am now, and what I have to do. I have the background, the knowledge and the skill to help out a newsroom – bigger, but not so very different from the Review's – at a time when they need it. It also reminded me that although I may be away for now, time has a way of ensuring we all come home again.

See you soon.

Hi guys,
We sort of 'do' survival in the UK, but more in the way of Ray Mears than total disaster survival. So this got me thinking about the different ways you guys in the US hunt. I know you guys hunt deer, I do much the same and own a large area of shooting rights where I shoot Red stags ( This beast was shot right next to my shooting area Giant red stag Exmoor Emperor shot dead | UK news | guardian.co.uk ). We don't have limits or tags or anything like that. It's down to the deer manager to structure a cull plan.
This is an actual Roe deer I shot this year on my hunting land:

A Strange Eventful History: The Dramatic Lives of Ellen Terry, Henry Irving and Their Remarkable Families
David Edgar writes:
It's been possible to detect Holroyd's presence in his narratives before: no one who read the third volume of his Shaw biography could miss his growing irritation with the playwright's perverse attachment to dictatorial regimes and their brutal methods – an irritation exacerbated by the perception that, in other ways, Shaw grew up as he grew old. But in A Strange Eventful History, Holroyd's take on his subjects is both more pervasive and more diffuse. In essence, he has adopted the novelistic device of free indirect style, inhabiting rather than reporting the inner life of his characters ('It was curiously satisfying work,' thinks Holroyd as Gordon Craig, 'this disembowelling of a writer's text') and expanding it to embrace the worlds through which – and, often, against which – those characters move. So, when the 15-year-old Ellen Terry enters the artistic colony in which George Frederic Watts is to paint and later to marry her, the narrative voice becomes a prissy, late Victorian chorus: 'The atmosphere was curiously liberal. Surely it was not quite fitting that the guests, whatever their rank, should be treated as models for Watts's paintbrush.' Holroyd clearly enjoys dressing up as the neighbours. When Irving and Terry share a house in Winchelsea, 'such disapproval as there was quickly vanished once their dogs became better known.'

Dr. Todd Pizzi Defines Cosmetic Dentistry
Dr. Todd Pizzi DDS defines what is termed "cosmetic dentistry."
While most Americans understand the importance of regular dental visits to promote dental health through thorough teeth cleanings and screenings for tooth decay and gum disease, cosmetic dentistry is a field that is gaining recognition and popularity. The term "cosmetic dentistry" is something that most people have probably heard, but do you really know the scope of what cosmetic dentistry entails?
Cosmetic dentistry is, put simply, the process of improving the appearance of teeth, including their shape, color, and symmetry. It differs from general dentistry in that it is concerned not simply with oral health, but with aesthetics as well. Cosmetic dentistry is part science – using up-to-the-minute advances in tools and materials, and part art – envisioning and realizing the beauty of an improved smile.
What you may find interesting is that symmetry, not color or shape and the positioning of your teethin relation to your face, gum tissue and lips is what makes a smile aesthetically pleasing. It is much more important to have teeth in the appropriate positions and symmetrical from left to right than to have very white teeth that don't fit appropriately into your smile.
Many Cosmetic problems in dentistry are easy to fix. Poorly shaped teeth or broken teeth can be repaired with bonding or veneers. Dark teeth can be whitened with an oxidizing agent, either with over the counter whitening treatments, or for more difficult cases, custom whitening by the dental office. In some cases, simple reshaping of your gum tissue with a diode laser can drastically improve the appearance of the underlying teeth.
More complex cosmetic improvements, which may include multiple teeth and involving the function of your jaws, require much more knowledge on the part of the dentist. The types of materials utilized and the ability to communicate with the dental laboratory with the correct language and appropriate photography are all part of successful cosmetic dental procedures. With these cases, experience is very important.
The most advanced cosmetic dentistry may involve a combination of everything we have talked about. In cases where teeth may have been lost many years ago, or many teeth are worn, the remaining teeth will shift and move as your bite changes. In these cases it is not just a matter of simply bonding the teeth or placing veneers, but completely restoring the original form and function of your teeth. This type of reconstruction requires a significant amount of training and experience by the Dentist, and may include a combination of braces, gum surgery, crowns and complex laboratory work.
Ultimately, however, all the training in the world will not make an expert cosmetic dentist. The artistic ability of the practitioner and the ability to see the finished product from the start of treatment, the skills of the chosen laboratory technician and the communication with the laboratory is what creates successful cosmetic dentistry.
At Modern Dentistry, we employ the latest advances in cosmetic dentistry. I keep myself abreast of developments in the field and I continue my education and training with frequent seminars and workshops. If you have concerns about the appearance of your teeth and the quality of your smile, I urge you to consider some of the latest options available to you. After all, everyone deserves to smile with confidence.

Coach Berque on WTKA Insider
Sunday, Feb. 2 -- vs. North Carolina State (Varsity Tennis Center)
Live Scoring/Live Video | Radio Tennis

Social Media: Facebook | Twitter
The No. 26 University of Michigan men's tennis team (3-1) returns home on Sunday (Feb. 2), hosting No. 35 North Carolina State at noon at the Varsity Tennis Center. The Wolfpack will represent U-M's third straight ranked opponent.
Sunday's match will be broadcast live by Radio Tennis and will feature interviews and play-by-play of singles and doubles action.
Scouting North Carolina State -- The Wolfpack (3-1) are coming off their third shutout victory of the 2014 dual season, a 4-0 win over No. 49 Michigan State last Sunday (Jan. 26) in the consolation match of the Knoxville Regional of ITA Kick-Off Weekend. North Carolina State also owns a pair of 7-0 victories over UNC Greensboro and North Carolina Central. The team's lone loss came vs. No. 30 VCU, a 4-3 decision in first-round action at the ITA Kick-Off last Saturday (Jan. 25). The Wolfpack feature four ranked singles players, including No. 50 Austin Powell, No. 76 Robbie Mudge , No. 82 Thomas Weigel and No. 83 Nick Horton. NC State also fields a deep doubles lineup, paced by the 19th-ranked duo of Horton and Sean Weber.
This weekend's match will mark the fourth meeting between Michigan and North Carolina State. The Wolfpack own a 2-1 advantage in the series, including a 4-3 victory when the two programs last met in 2010. U-M's lone victory in the series was a 6-1 victory over N.C. State at the Varsity Tennis in 2008.
Last Time Out -- U-M split a pair of matches last weekend at the ITA Kick-Off in Oxford, Miss., upsetting 10th-ranked Mississippi, 4-3, on Saturday (Jan. 25) before falling to 22nd-ranked Illinois, 4-2, in the regional championship match on Sunday (Jan. 26). Senior Barrett Franks clinched the victory over the Rebels, delivering a 6-5 (6), 6-5 (1) victory over Vinod Gowda at the No. 5 singles position in the final match on the court. In Sunday's hard fought loss to the Illini, Franks and fellow senior Alex Buzzi teamed up to post an impressive doubles victory, knocking off the fourth-ranked tandem of Tim Kopinski and Ross Guignon, 6-3, at the top of the doubles lineup.
Dual-Match Format -- Sunday's match will be contests for the best-of-seven team points. The dual will begin with three doubles matches consisting of six-game pro sets. The team that wins two of these three matches will enter the singles competition with one of seven points. Once the doubles point has been clinched, the remaining doubles match shall not be completed. No-add scoring will be implemented during doubles play and a tie-breaker will occur if a doubles match is tied at five-all. After a brief intermission, six singles matches will be played. Each singles match will be the best of three tie-break sets and worth one point towards the team competition. Each singles match will use no-ad scoring and a tie-breaker will occur if a set is tied at five-all. The overall dual match will be decided when one team secures four total points. Singles matches in progress when the dual match is clinched will be played to completion.
Wolverine To Watch -- Senior Barrett Franks, who was selected to the All-Big Ten second team last season after finishing with a career-best 17-7 dual-match record, is off to a hot start in 2014. The Christchurch, New Zealand, native is 3-0 in singles action after posting a 6-5 (5), 6-5 (1) victory over Mississippi's Vinod Gowda in last Saturday's win over the 10th-ranked Rebels. Franks won 11 of his last 12 singles matches to conclude the regular season in 2013, including one match from the No. 2 position and five from the No. 3 spot. In total, he posted a 9-1 mark in Big Ten singles action last season.
Point of Emphasis -- The Wolverines have earned the doubles point in each of their first four dual matches this season, combining for a 8-1 doubles record, including 3-0 marks by the duo of seniors Barrett Franks and Alex Buzzi at the No. 1 position and the tandem of senior Shaun Bernstein and freshman Kevin Wong at the No. 3 position. U-M claimed the doubles point in 14 of 26 dual matches last season, combining for a 29-27 doubles record. Michigan's ability to win the doubles point has had a direct correlation to the team's overall record. Michigan was 10-4 in 2013 winning the doubles point and 6-6 when dropping the initial point. The Wolverines are 3-1 this season when claiming the doubles point.
Finding Their Groove -- Juniors Alex Petrone and Michael Zhu are a combined 5-0 in singles action to start the 2014 campaign. After dropping his first match of the season, Petrone has won three straight matches, including two from the No. 2 position. He posted his first ranked victory of the season last Saturday (Jan. 25), downing Mississippi's 104th-ranked William Kallberg in straight sets (6-3, 6-2). Zhu has won three consecutive singles matches dating back to the Key Biscayne Invitational, including dual wins over Toledo's Garret Cona (6-2, 6-1) and Mississippi's Zach Wilder (6-2, 6-2).
Home-Court Advantage -- Michigan is off to a 2-0 start at the Varsity Tennis Center this season. The Wolverines have been tough to beat at the VTC since the facility opened in 1997. Michigan is 75-24 (.758) since the 2005 season and is 135-44 (.754) overall at the complex.
In Their Debut -- Freshmen Tyler Gardiner and Kevin Wong both made their collegiate debuts during the fall individual season. Wong is 7-5 in singles competition while Gardiner has posted a 2-4 mark through his first three singles matches for the Maize and Blue. Two other freshmen -- Davis Crocker and Alex Knight-- joined the team this semester and both players and expected to redshirt this season.
The Captains -- At the conclusion of the fall season, seniors Shaun Bernstein and Barrett Franks and junior Alex Petrone were voted by their teammates to serve as team captains for the 2014 season. This marks the third consecutive season Bernstein has been voted a captain by his peers.
Future Wolverines -- Michigan inked two top prep players -- Runhao (Leo) Hua (Shanghai, China/Edison Academics) and Cameron Norrie (Auckland, New Zealand/Macleans College) -- to National Letters of Intent during the early signing period this fall. Hua holds a career-best International Tennis Federation (ITF) Junior World Ranking of 138. Norrie has been ranked as high as No. 10 in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Junior World Rankings and holds 12 ITF titles (five singles and seven doubles). Both players will join the Maize and Blue next fall.
A Look Back -- Michigan posted a 16-10 record in 2012-13, including a 9-2 mark in Big Ten play and qualified for the NCAA Championships for the eighth consecutive season. Senior Evan King, a three-time ITA All-American, ended his illustrious Michigan career with a 116-34 singles record and became U-M's all-time leader in combined singles and doubles wins with 195. The 2013 Big Ten Athlete of the Year award recipient, King finished his senior campaign with a 32-5 singles record, including a 23-1 mark in dual matches and a perfect 10-0 record in Big Ten play. King was a unanimous selection to the All-Big Ten first team, while Barrett Franks was an All-Big Ten second team selection
Coaching Staff -- Head coach Bruce Berque is in his 10th year at the helm of the Wolverine program, compiling a 146-92 overall record and 60-22 Big Ten mark over his tenure. Berque has led the Wolverines to eight consecutive NCAA Championships berths, including the 2008 Sweet 16, and has finished among the top four of the Big Ten in eight of nine seasons. Jeremy Wurtzman is in his first season as Michigan's associate head coach. A former ATP tour professional and a three-year standout at Ohio State, Wurtzman spent the last four years as the head coach of the University of Denver women's tennis program.
Friday, Feb. 7 -- vs. Texas (Varsity Tennis Center), 6 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 9 -- vs. Duke (Varsity Tennis Center), Noon

Should be 16 slots, 12 was too hard to pick D:, anyways mine:
Spoiler for Nominations:
Ending up leaving out Merry and Elsie though I expect both to make and Kanata and Sora I hope make it, but I am unsure if they'll make it. And decided againist putting any older characters in though, I was really tempted to have Vivio on my list since I watched StrikerS recently >.>.

From data I've collected on this board and the ISML forums (31 nominators), here are the Top 37 nomination getters:
Spoiler for Top 37:
Ika Musume just barely manages to take first place with Kuroneko and Victorique not far behind. Kuroneko having extremely high nomination support is expected but I didn't realize Victorique was so popular.
Other characters from the current season also seem to be doing quite well. Eucliwood Hellscythe, Merry Nightmare and Kaname Modoka are also near the top in terms of nominations.
Despite a not too great performance in the main bracket last year, Rika fans are back in full force and manage to make Rika the top returner. The second highest returner is Kuronuma Sawako who, like last year, still recives a lot of love from the nominators. She could use a bit more love from the preliminary voters, though.
Consdering how well Kuroneko is doing, Kirino's mere 4 nominations doesn't look so great. She should still easily make the preliminaries. Haruna could probably use a lot more of the support Eucliwood is getting. So far I've only seen 1 person nominate Haruna.
To me, one character that seems to be getting unexpectly low amounts of support is Ookami Ryouko. I was expecting her to have a good chance to make the main tournament but it looks like she may have trouble getting enough nominations to reach the preliminaries. Like Haruna, so far I've only seen 1 person nominate Ryouko. Did I overestimate her or will Ryouko just be getting large amounts of support from places not represented well on this site or the ISML board?
Ikaros and Louise also seem to be getting low amounts of support (1 nomination each). I suppose Louise is fading from a lack of new anime but there was a new season of Sora no Otoshimono fairly recently.

Yay it's begun. \o/
Gonna concentrate on nominating the more recent girls, since they're the ones with the most chance (unlike those who've been proven to flop...). Can't help but throwing in a favorite or two along in there though, lol.

I'll likely be nominating older girls that missed last year (some by tiny bits even) or other that didn't get spoken for.
The Higurashi cast (Rena in particular), Rozen Maidens, Minami-ke...maybe even some Sailor Moon just to see how older characters do (as oppose to my 1970s era nominations that went noplace last few years). See if we can get in a character that is older than 2002 Saimoe's list.

I just decided to submit it now, since it will be become even harder to choose if I wait longer.
Many changes such as omission of Sawako. I think she will get enough votes in this phase without my help. But the exception was made for Kuroneko, since she is one of my favourite this year.
Now time to focus on mid-terms lol.

Surprised at the lack of nominations for Mami from Madoka Magika. She's at the height of popularity right now, so you'd think she'd get more votes.

Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
I have just bought a Jeanneau SO 37.2. It has a Navico PH-8000 autopilot. The pilot when it works is reasonably good. It is however intermittant. The problem appears to be the PC-8000 controller. I am looking for schematic and specs on components. The circuit is simple but I need the voltage rating on the zener diode in the LED portion of the circuit. I will replace the whole autopilot at some point in the future in the mean time I am trying to get reliable operation back at minimal cost.
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
Call or email Simrad. They bought out Navico a couple of years ago and still market several Navico AP''s but with the Simrad name on them. They ought to be able to help.
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
If you still need this infomation contact me via e-mail. I''m not sure I have the information, but will check out my PH8000 documentation if you provide me with your return e-mail address
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
What is your experience with the PH8000? I was thinking of getting one for my 36 foot sailboat. Not so sure now.
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
As this unit is nolonger made I would suggest getting a current model for a new installation. Navman, Raymarine and Simrad come to mind.
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
has anyone checked out whether any of the Navico parts can be used with Newer Simrad parts... ie. Hyd. drive with new controller etc.
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
I tried to get a Navico working again, and Simrad was willing to discuss it on the phone, but they were not able to help. They really don''t support the Navico line with parts or knowledge. I''d buy my next one from someone else. Good luck.
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
This is the reply I got from simrad:
"Please check out our web-site @ simradusa.com
and click on autopilots and the AP12 or AP14H will be the replacement. We

Read the specs on these two units, I am not sure it would work.... these are for smaller boats than the 8000 was designed for.
Navico PH-8000 Autopilot
Well as they say a lot of water has gone under the keel since my first post. I have replaced all the components on the PC-8000 cockpit controller and no real improvement. Simrad distributor in Australia (where I am) doesn''t want to know me. I am taking one more shot at it then it will get scrapped and replaced with Navman or Raymarine. Better support and easier to get information about. With the level of support on Navico post merge with Simrad I am glad I don''t have any B&G instruments on board ;-)

Morley Theater
701 N. Main Street,
2 people favorited this theater
The 1947 Morley Theater is a key component in the revitalization of downtown Borger, Texas. Borger is a famous Texas Panhandle oil-boom town that sprang up virtually overnight in 1926 after a massive oil strike.
The Morley Theater came along in the late-1940's as the town continued its efforts to change its image from lawless boomtown to a modern industrial city.
The theater was designed by Jack Corgan of Dallas and was first operated by the Griffith-Consolidated Theater chain. Beginning in the 1980's, Borger's economy began to contract as oil industry jobs began drying up, leaving the Morley Theatre in a sad state of neglect and, at times, abandonment.
In 2002, the local economic development group invested $2 million to restore the main auditorium and add four more screens in an adjacent building in order to bring first-run movies back to this town of 15,000.

FYI John Bennett … the name of the other drive-in in Borger was the Plains drive-in. We never were allowed to go there because they usually showed the "bad" movies. I finally went to see Woodstock there while I was a student at FPC. Sadly, they closed not too long after that.
John Raney – thank you for the walk down memory lane. I remember all the things that you wrote about … and I still have my Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, card. The Morley did have a free-standing ticket booth out in front (my friend Alicia worked there) and they also had a cry room. I sat in there one time just to see what it was like.
I lived in Borger until about 1963. The summer movie program was set up as I recall based on what park you lived near. We'd line up outside and the line would be around the block. The cost as I recall it was 10 cents. Our group was seated up in the balcony on the right side. Segregation was still in effect, at least a de facto sort, and I recall the black kids sat on our left in the balcony and we whites on the right or down on the main floor. The screen seemed huge and down at the bottom of the auditorium. I remember feeling a bit of "altitude sickness" being up so high. I had the same feeling when I was at the San Francisco Opera a couple of years ago while seated in the upper balcony.
One film which still haunts my memory from those Saturday mornings was a western in which the bad guys buried a woman in the sand and then left her there for the ants to take care of. She seemed to be naked. I often wondered if anyone screened these films before hand to be sure they were suitable for a young impressionable audience.
I still find it difficult to be around sand for too long of time.
One other memory: I left Borger about the age of 13. I returned 15 years later passing through on a trip. I took my two young sons to the theater. By then it was two screens – one upstairs in the balcony and one downstairs.
The thing that amaized me was that the theater had strunk in size over the years – it was much smaller than I remember.
The November 15, 1947, issue of Boxoffice Magazine said that the Morley Theatre had been dedicated on November 6. The article said that the new house had 1210 seats, but also gave the figures of 798 on the main floor, 512 in the balcony, which would add up to 1310. It's anybody's guess which figure was a typo. The article also mentioned that there were two crying rooms with seven seats each.
Guests at the opening included the theater's architect, Jack Corgan, and its decorator, R. F. Churchill, both of Dallas. The first show kicked off with a half hour live performance by "Singin' Sam" Harrison, followed by the feature film, "Cynthia."
Nice photos of THE MORLEY,too bad the vertical sigh is gone.
1982 Marquee what a title.Clint EASTWOOD in"Honkeytonk Man" and the other movie "KISS ME GOODBYE" that is the extact quote many EASTWOOD fans said during the first twenty minutes of "HONKEYTONK Man". That was our Holiday picture and "Uncle" Clint let us down.Me especially.
The missing vertical sign was replaced at some time. It appears in this photo, which was probably 2007, judging from the movies on the marquee.

The mention of carrot cake usually brings up memories of a moist, spicy cake laden with rich and tangy cream cheese frosting – not of chocolate. But just as zucchini can pair well with chocolate in a cake or quick bread, so can shredded carrots. These Chocolate Carrot Cake Cupcakes are a chocolaty variation on my regular carrot cake cupcake recipe. The cupcakes get a ... Read More »

Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Carrot cake is a crowd-pleasing dessert. Although I admit that chocolate and vanilla will probably always have a slightly bigger fan base than carrot cake does, there is just something about a moist and spicy cake carrot cake that makes it a big hit every time I serve one. Carrot cake will probably win itself even more fans when it shows up in cupcake form. ... Read More »
Zucchini Cake with Lime Cream Cheese Frosting
Zucchini is great for baking because it can add a whole lot of moisture to a baked good. It can show up in cakes and quickbreads, just as carrots can. It is often paired with chocolate and over time I've noticed why: green is not a color that blends into a cake that easily (nor is it one that you expect to see in a ... Read More »
Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread
Once zucchini come into season, they try to take over. They overrun gardens, markets and refrigerators. Fortunately, they are very versatile and can be prepared in a variety of ways. You can add them to all kinds of savory dishes, from sides of roasted vegetables to soups. And, just like carrots (and lettuce!), zucchini has a mild enough flavor and texture that it can be ...

Spiced Lettuce Cake Bars
Carrot cake and zucchini bread are just two examples of sweets that include vegetables in a surprising way. Namely, it's that they are relatively undetectable from a taste point of view, despite the fact that the recipes often include quite a large amount of the veggies. Carrots and zucchini have become such common inclusions, that we're not usually surprised to see them in recipes. Other ... Read More »
Lower Fat Carrot Sheet Cake
I don't cook much from food magazines, and when I do, it's usually from an older issue that I found behind the bookcase and flipped through, rather than one that just arrived in the mail. My thought process tends to be along the lines of "oh, that looks good. I'll have to remember that and try it later." For once, however, a dish I intended ... Read More »
Carrot Cake Pan
Fans of carrot cake might want to think about adding a new piece to their bakeware collection this spring. King Arthur Flour is offering this carrot-shaped (and carrot-colored) Carrot Cake Pan as a new item in their line. The pan couldn't be cuter for a carrot cake. It's made of glazed stoneware, and while not completely nonstick, stoneware usually offers a quick release for baked ... Read More »
Cake-plus-vegetable taste testing
A good carrot cake is a hard thing to beat. Granted, there are some less-than-tasty ones out there (too oily/wet, too sweet, to dense), but when it hits the right combination of sweetness and moistness – combined with cream cheese frosting – it's great. Carrots are veggies that are high in sugar and don't have a strong flavor of their own, so they work well ... Read More »

Engine running really hot!!
My engine which has just been installed seems to run a little to hot for my likeing. It takes about 2-3mins then it starts to get really hot and I mean really hot. The car has no front end and just about 8 feet away I can feel the heat. Is this normal? Also how come my engine smokes. Its smoke only at the rear exhaust mainfolds on both side. not at the front or in the middle. Why is this?? Hope you experts can help a new hotrodder fix these few pain in the but problems.
What is your temp guage on?
The smoke is probably a oil leak from the valve covers.
Zee, 78Monte is probably right about the oil leak try tightening the valve covers down a little bit more, also is this motor new, rebuilt, what was done to it?
[ July 19, 2002: Message edited by: Stevestang1966 ]

I dont have a temp gauge to start off, I also have sealer on the covers cause they leaked before now they dont. Its a brand new rebuilt 350 chevy with a 4bbl.
check for the simple things first.
The thermistate (if that is bad it is not properly cooling or antifreeze is not moving at all!!!!)
The water pump is accually moving water (sounds silly but i spent a lot of money before i figured out that one)
Proper cooling mixture
big enough ratiator? (if your engine is beefed up that means it will probably run hotter)
and big enough fan (usually not the problem but it helps i guess if you have an electric fan)
and color of the engine (means nothing but i like saying that because there was a big discussion on that not to long ago in this room about color of engines)
try those first
my friend has the same problem with his 87 firebird, he put a 355 in it and his overheats only when he s driving and hes got a 3-core radiator, new water pump, 160 degree thermostat, electric fan, running it rich and retarded the timing, even now it still overheats under power, it gets better as he drives. Why? i dont know but he did buy some of the antifreeze conditioner that people use in their diesels and that helped out a little bit, you can get it at any NAPA or whatever.. hope you fix it keep me informed
Zeeman, you need a temp gauge for sure. Is it boiling over? Check this site 1BAD80 gave me when I had this problem. It gives you the basics of how a cooling system works, and related problems. Let us know, good luck. www.inccn.net/techform.htm
It's www.inccn.net/techforum.htm
Great article on cooling! Thanks for the link awsum34 and dollybud. Any recommendations on a high flow water pump for a firebird 400?
Flow Kooler part number BRA-1649 $80.00 at Summit. 30 % more flow the description notes. I use water wetter as well. That stuff works very well. I've seen alot of products that claim to lower the temp but I've used water wetter for a long time and have had only good exp. I get the stuff at the Ford garage. If your having a cooling problem I would buy an aluminum rad. Not only do they look cool and drop temps they take weight oof the nose of the car. Ryan
Another possibilty for smoke is paint, did you paint your motor? When I put the 350 in my S-10 I detailed the engine prior to dropping the engine back in, the paint made smoke for the first few days.
Thanks racer56! I just ordered the Flow Cooler water pump from Summit (I actually needed the BRA-1622 for my 1967 pontiac 400). Tonight I'm going to get the antifreeze % down to 25% instead of 50% (since I live in San Diego where it never freezes) and I'll try to get some of that water wetter stuff. I'll report in after phase 1 which is the 25% antifreeze. Thanks again everyone for the input.
[ November 22, 2002: Message edited by: jobu ]

jobu...My firebird ran hot sitting still but did fine if I was moving. I did it all on my 67 firebird 400. Alum Rad, High Flo water pump, at least 5 fan combinations, timing, new distributor, every thermostat I could find, no thermostat. Pontiacs run hotter than others due to head design and that's a big motor in a small place. If you have headers that adds to the problem by letting heat build up under the hood. What really made the difference is a really good electric fan. Not one of those AutoZone fans, I tried that too.
Make sure your water pump is the right rotation, i bought a new rebuilt engine and they put a water pump for v-belt pulleys and i used a serpentine set up and it ran the water pump backwards.
My motor upon starting was running really hot. My new edelbrock was set really lean out of the box. I richened up the idle mixture and the motor cooled down. It was to the point that the headers were starting to turn red. Also, my timing was not advanced enough when I first started the motor. Once the carb was adjusted and timing advanced, the motor ran much cooler and all the excess heat was gone. I'm by far no expert, but that's what I'd check first.

In this weeks' Throwback Thursday article, Simon raises a toast to the Sony Digital Mavica FD71 - a little camera which used really big memory cards.
It's been half a decade since Canon first debuted the original 6D and finally its successor is here. So what does five years of innovation look like?
The Canon EOS 6D Mark II brings more resolution, better autofocus and faster continuous shooting to Canon's entry-level full-frame camera. And we've had the opportunity to shoot with one.
The Canon 6D Mark II will ship to consumers in August, but we've been able to do some shooting with a pre-production unit well in advance.
Rumors have been swirling around for a while, and Canon has just unveiled the long-awaited successor to the popular and long-serving EOS 6D. Read all about it in our hands-on preview.
Canon's latest entry-level DSLR is here. The new Rebel SL2 (EOS 200D) is the belated successor to 2013's Rebel SL1, billed at the time as the smallest and lightest DSLR on the market.
Nearly five years after the announcement of the EOS 6D, Canon has finally replaced it with the EOS 6D Mark II. The Mark II features an all-new 26.2MP Dual Pixel AF full-frame sensor, 6.5 fps burst shooting, a fully articulating touchscreen, 1080/60p video and much more.
Canon has announced the EOS Rebel SL2 (also known as the EOS 200D), which replaces the aging SL1. This ultra-compact DSLR features a 24MP sensor, DIGIC 7 processor, Dual Pixel AF system and a 3" fully articulating touchscreen LCD.
When one of his friends got a filter stuck on his $1,700 Canon EF 24-70mm F2.8L, former MythBuster Adam Savage removed it using an unlikely, terrifying tool: a band saw.
The New Yorker asked Magnum's famed photographers, in town for the agency's 70th anniversary, to go out and capture 'the fleeting beauty of New York City's golden hour.' This is what they shot.
Roger Cicala is a difficult man to impress, but he's been waxing lyrical over at Lensrentals about Sony's new 12-24mm wide zoom.
Glassware is one of the most challenging subjects to photograph, especially against a white background. This tutorial shows you how to do it with hardly any gear.
Handevision is now shipping its all-metal Iberit 90mm F2.4 short telephoto lens for Leica M-mount 35mm and full-frame cameras.
Isocell comprises four sub-brands: Bright, Fast, Slim and Dual which are tailored to specific mobile device market demands.
The new store will be located at the Fotografiska center for contemporary photography in Stockhom, Sweden and carry the full range of Hasselblad products.
A recent vacation gave Richard a chance to think about the needs of travel photography – and how our reviews might recognize the perfect travel camera.
Need more evidence that 2017 is the year analog begins its comeback? Well, welcome another new film stock to the world.
The winners of the 10th annual iPhone Photography Awards have been announced, and they're striking.
If you were disappointed by reports that the Sony a9 struggles with adapted Canon glass, you might be able to take some comfort from Metabones' latest update.
Blackmagic Design has dropped the prices of its Video Assist external monitor/recorders for a limited time. Prices of the SD card-based recorders will be reduced in all markets, while supplies last.
Instagram has started testing a new feature called 'favorites' that enables users to share photos with only certain people. Only a small number of users have access to the feature at this time, though it may roll out to everyone in the future.
Lensbaby has announced the Velvet 85 F1.8 for interchangeable lens cameras. The lens is available in Canon, Nikon, Sony E, Sony A, Pentax K, Samsung NX, Fuji X and Micro 4/3 mounts.
It's the end of an era. Parent company Micron has announced that they are discontinuing the Lexar retail brand. This includes 'memory cards, USB flash drives, readers, and storage drives.'
Youthful trainspotter turned adult photographer, John Sanderson has traveled across the United States, documenting the country's railroads. But you won't find any trains in his pictures.
Sony's new CMOS sensor is backside-illuminated and offers an all-pixel global reset function which should drastically reduce rolling shutter effect when panning.
Shoulderpod has converted its offerings into a lego-like modular system by offering all individual parts of existing products separately, allowing users to build exactly the rig they need for a specific project or simply replace a damaged part.
Photographer Felix AAA has spent the past ten years touring the world with a variety of musicians, capturing behind the scenes shots and portraits. He talks about some of his favorite images on the FujiFilm Blog.
A roll of film discovered in an Argus C2 from an Oregon Goodwill turned out to contain some incredible images – and has been re-united with the original owner's family.
Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over the past week. Take a look.
Google is holding a competition that could see your Pixel photos gracing millions of screens.

Sen. Sherrod Brown Uses Mein Kampf Reference Against Republican Opponent Josh Mandel
posted at 10:48 am on September 10, 2012 by Matt Vespa
With the Ohio senate race in a dead heat, it's unsurprising for candidates to become more aggressive in their campaigning. However, I feel that there should be a national ban on nazi references in politics. It's starting to become an absurd exercise and the Democrats just eat it up. Incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown alleges that his Republican challenger, Josh Mandel, is "the candidate of the big lie."
As Nick Mascari of Breitbart.com reported on September 8:
In Mein Kampf, Hitler postulated that Jews used the tactic of 'the big lie' to divert from their alleged guilt in the downfall of Germany. He theorized Jews manipulated common citizens by telling lies too exaggerated to be considered fabrications.
Brown and his surrogates have accused Republicans of ideology kinship with Nazis in the past. In 2011, the Senator compared GOP governors John Kasich, Scott Walker, and Chris Christie to Hitler and other dictators for their opposition to Big Labor.
A year ago Justin Barasky, who is now Sherrod Brown's communications director, implied that Mandel tolerates Nazism.
The Washington Examiner commented further on this attack on September 7.
Brown's ad does not specifically mention Nazis, but the term 'big lie' is still closely identified with them. Earlier this week, John Burton, chairman of the California delegation to the Democrats' Charlotte convention, was criticized when he compared Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan to the Nazis and referenced the 'big lie.'
'They lie and they don't care if people think they lie. Joseph Goebbels. It's the big lie, you keep repeating it,' Burton told the San Francisco Chronicle. He reiterated the point in an interview with ABC: 'If you're not telling the truth, you're lying. Joseph Goebbels' concept was the big lie. If you tell it enough, people will think it's the truth.'
Goebbels was Hitler's minister of propaganda.
Josh Mandel's grandfather was a holocaust survivor.

Is Sunday's F1 race weird enough for Austin, Texas?
By Corrie MacLaggan
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - As the Texas capital prepares to host the first Grand Prix in the United States in five years, some in laid-back Austin say this weekend's glamorous race clashes with the city's soul.
In this environmentally-conscious college town of 800,000, where the bumper stickers say "Keep Austin Weird" and there are no professional sports teams, there is widespread opposition to the Formula One race.
Some skeptics have come around, embracing the race and the sleek parties that come with it, while others are still shaking their heads over fears of clogged streets, noisy helicopter traffic and a negative impact on the environment, all for a ritzy event they say is simply un-Austin.
"Many opponents said that this is kind of the wrong image - frivolous emissions, carbon and other pollutants into the air just for amusement purposes - for a city that wants to be seen as the most sustainable city in the United States," said Tom Smith, director of the Texas office of Public Citizen, a nonprofit consumer advocacy group.
Officials at Circuit of the Americas, which owns the new racetrack, say they're working to minimize the environmental impact of the event and point out that F1 innovations lead to more efficient passenger cars.
Texas Comptroller Susan Combs touts the economic impact of the event, which she says will generate some $220 million for the state.
And many Austinites are thrilled about the race at the 3.4-mile (5.5 kilometer), $400 million track facility southeast of town, as well as a downtown fan festival and concerts by Aerosmith and Enrique Iglesias.
"It's just another thing that makes Austin weird," said Julie Loignon, a spokeswoman for Circuit of the Americas, adding that she often uses that line when people complain that F1 was too shiny, too chic for Austin, more of a Dallas-type thing. Continued...

NEW YORK CITY -- A proposal to put small venders inside New York City's yellow cabs won praise this week at a city-sponsored contest for new business ideas. TaxiTreats is the brainchild of Brian Shimmerlik, a NYU Stern School of Business student who says New Yorkers want convenience. | SEE NEW YORK POST
Mounted next to the Taxi TV screens facing the backseat, the miniature vending machines could serve a captive audience. In practice, payment might be incorporated into the cab fare, and products would include energy drinks, snack bars, gum and mints, and OTC pain relievers.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission has not approved the idea. However, Shimmerlik and his team won $17,500 in startup funds, along with six months of office space to get the concept going.

WASHINGTON | Republican Sen. Marco Rubio hopes everyone's summer is off to a good start. Please send money.
Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown is working on a constitutional amendment to negate a Supreme Court ruling on political activity by independent groups. In the meantime, please send money.
Rick Weiland, a Democrat running for the Senate in South Dakota, would like $9, please. Many other candidates in both parties would settle for $5.
Welcome to the unending, inbox-clogging world of online campaign fundraising, set against a backdrop of Monday's Federal Election Commission deadline for candidates to disclose their campaign finances. The more an office-seeker reports having in the bank, the more there is available for the fall campaign. But it's not just the money that counts, it's the appearance of it.
"In just 15 hours, I'll have to close the books on our second quarter FEC report," wrote Jenny Nadicksbernd, finance director for Sen. Mark Warner. "That report will be looked at by Karl Rove and his special interest pals to see if they should launch attacks against" the Virginia Democrat, she added.
It's not only candidates for federal offices.
Jason Carter, a Democrat running for governor of Georgia, helpfully posted a clock on his emailed request for cash. That way everyone would know exactly how much time was left — down to the second — to reach Carter's target of $50,000 before his self-imposed midnight deadline.
Nor is it just a simple request for money. Candidates and independent organizations have a series of pleadings, tailored to the political leanings of their donor targets.
Republican fundraisers favor unflattering mentions of President Barack Obama or Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
The appeal from Rubio's political action committee, Reclaim America, mentioned both, and still found room to send along best wishes for the hot weather months. "I hope your summer is off to a great start, but it's hard to enjoy our time with family and friends when we see one scandal after another emerging from Washington, DC," it said. "The Obama Administration just can't seem to shoot straight, and they're aided every step of the way by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid."
For Democrats, it's the Koch brothers, who oversee a constellation of organizations devoted to electing Republicans and repealing the nation's health care law.
Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley, running for a Senate seat in Iowa, set a $65,000 goal for midnight. "Special interests backed by the likes of the Koch Brothers have already spent more than $2 million" in the state, the pleading said. "They're not going to let up till the last poll closes (in) Nov. and neither can we."
Brown, D-Ohio, cited a recent Supreme Court ruling loosening the rules on political activity for outside groups and said he hopes the justices will come to their senses.
In the meantime: "While we're working on a Constitutional amendment in the Senate, grassroots campaigns like ours need to prepare. Help us stay strong by making a $5 contribution before the FEC deadline."
In some cases, the requests take on the trappings of a holiday sale at a clothing or cosmetics store.
"Contribute by 11:59 p.m. tonight, and I'll triple-match whatever you give," said an appeal sent out by Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "That means every dollar you give becomes $4."
In case anyone missed Portman's request, the NRSC followed up with a chaser. "All contributions today are triple matched by Sen. Rob Portman," it said.

Despite a seemingly endless supply of onstage fights, solo albums, and break-up rumors from bright-eyed pop band Foxygen last year, it seems the band is still going strong. So strong in fact, that the follow-up to last year's We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors Of Peace And Magic, called Foxygen…And Star Power, is a giant at 24 tracks long.
The album's first single, How Can You Really, is a big, nostalgic piano ballad with an incredibly sticky chorus. The Grant Singer-directed video for the track features vocalist Sam France dancing through a poorly lit office space and in warehouses. If you're worried the band drama of yesteryear has evaporated, note Jonathan Rado's slight eye roll every time he appears on camera. Check it out along with the album tracklist, below.

So apparently I have a leak somewhere... I have noticed this twice now.
First time was after some really heavy rain, I thought I had left a window open because of the amount of water that had got in. I had left a 30gallon garbage bag covering the seat (used so my grandmothers can slide in/out of the seat easier). When I removed the bag there was almost a gallon of water inside it. The bottom of the seat back cushion and rear of the bottom cushion were wet. The seat storage pocket on the back was wet and there was water on the floor behind the passenger seat and in my monster mat.
The second time, I know for a fact I didn't leave any windows open. No bag on the seat, it didn't rain as much, though the same areas were wet and there is water collected in the monster mat again.
I know there was a recall and/or class action lawsuit for this issue and that VW added a line to the maintenance schedule for cleaning the drains. I've had all my maintenance done at the dealer, even post warranty. Not sure if the drain cleaning was done, or if that is even the issue. I've read that there is a problem with the tubing itself in the roof where the glue used to seal one of the tubes evaporates and causes a leak.
What are the chances of the dealer covering some or all of the repair?
