Bathroom Fan Venting Question
Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I'm new to this forum. I'm looking forward to learning from some of you in the future!
Any help someone could provide on properly venting my bathroom fan would be most appreciated. Currently my bathroom fan is vented straight to the attic. I've read a lot of opinions about venting to the soffit, but that's not really an option for me anyway because my attic is so small I can't get to them from the inside.
My question has to do with an old black boxed roof vent that is no longer in use. Please excuse my lack of knowledge with terminology as I am only a year into DIY projects. There is a larger black vent in my roof that has a metal tube coming down to the attic. The tube stops about two-three inches from the ceiling and drywall is under a hole where it appears to have been used in the past. I'm assuming that a refurb was completed and the vent was no longer required.
Would be it appropriate to assume that this vent would still work and could I simply buy duct to connect the fan to this vent? The metal tube is wider than the duct would be, what would be the best way to connect them? Are there any potential concerns with this type of connection? Also, I would need to cut the tube since it's so low to the ceiling... would using a rotary saw be a good tool for this?
Thanks ahead of time for your response!
Yes,you can certainly use that vent.
If you feel you need to cut some of the duct off,a pair of tin snips will do it.
Yes you can use it providing it is still in good shape. Just run your new duct to it and, if need be, attach with a reducer. I prefer solid duct and don't care much for the flex tubing but that's not my area of expertise.
A good pair of snips is all you need to cut it.
As far as your old one, if it's not leaking then leave it. it's not hurting anything.
Thanks, I appreciate the responses. This will be a good quick project for the weekend.
Yes, you are correct...

I hope everyone is enjoying their hot summer days. Yes, the hot days finally found us. Not crazy hot like in CA, but 90*+ is hot enough for me. This week my kids are camping with their grandparents. That means I should get a lot of work done on the house right? I mean no distractions…oh, wait! There are other distractions like Pinterest, Facebook, and ice cream recipes to keep me busy 🙂 Today my husband and I went on a crazy long bike ride. I'm going to need lots of ice cream to recover from this!
Speaking of ice cream? I have a special treat for you guys today. Did you see the Fluffernutter Ice Cream I made last week? More importantly…did you see the crazy awesome chocolate cookie cone it was in? I had fun trying out each flavor. The Cone Guys have generously offered a fun giveaway for one of my readers. One lucky reader will win 1 package of each of their specialty cones. Sounds fun right? Your ice cream needs these cones for sure.
Now let's party! It's Time to Sparkle!
Thanks for the great party, hope you had a good Monday!

In a trading update, it said operations at the mine, which hosts three separate pits - Riccall, Stillingfleet and Wistow - will be phased out over the next 20 months to give affected workers the time to look for jobs elsewhere.
'It has been apparent for some time that our Selby mines have not been able to produce coal at an economic cost,' said Gordon McPhie, the company's chief executive.
'The mines made operating losses of £35m last year and £107m in the past three and a half years amid deteriorating geological conditions. Losses continued in the first half to June 2002, although at a lower level of £14m against £19m a year ago.
The closure of the complex will have no financial effect on the interim results, it said.
The redundancy costs will reach £40m, about £10m of which will be government funded. They will be treated as an exceptional cost in the full year account.
Job losses are believed to reach 5,000 if the knock-on effect on related industries in the region is factored in.
UK Coal's decision to shut the Selby complex followed two expert studies, one by the independent consultants IMC and the other by the Department of Trade and Industry.
The research showed that while there are considerable reserves left, geological conditions mean they cannot be extracted economically. Two other pits in the Selby complex were closed in the late 1990s.
The National Union of Mineworkers dismissed today's decision as 'ludicrous' and said the pits could be kept open another 30 years.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Inside the Lauderhill staple Tate's Comics, girls jog up a sturdy wooden stairway to a living-room-sized wooden loft where a metal sign on the wallpapered perimeter reads: "Bear and Bird." The space radiates vibes of being part boutique, part girly clubhouse. Toward the front, sterling-silver necklaces dangle in two vintage armoires. In another corner, plush jester-colored couches form a nook in which to relax and gossip. Bear and Bird's owner, Amanda Magnetta-Ottati, is sweeping the floor with a Scottie dog broom, and hundreds of its little bristle feet shimmy across the ground. Other brooms are stacked in the corner, each waiting for a new owner to take them to a good home, while metal toy robots (reissues resembling the rigid, original '50s tin windups) angrily stare down the silk-screened T-shirts on the opposing shelf. But this boutique serves as more than a home for personality-rich trinkets and accessories. It's also a gallery space. Amanda's ambitious goal is to bring new alternative eye candy to the B&B each month, and that's led to innovative shows like the popular "For Love of Munny." In it, local and national artists customized hundreds of Munny dolls into both the adorable and the gruesome. Other scheduled exhibits include May's "Sideshow Show," August's "Sex and Science," and September's "What a Fun Guy: The Mushroom Show." The combination of art and merchandise, seclusion and accessibility, and all-around good taste makes this little boutique a peaceful hideaway. So let the boys play with monster magazines downstairs; you've got some shopping to do.
For years, Amanda Magnetta-Ottati helped her husband Tate run Tate's Comics, but it wasn't until the couple decided to expand the popular comic book store this year that she quit her steady gig in advertising. Magnetta-Ottati now runs an eclectic hideaway, Bear and Bird, in the store's loft space. Call it an alternative art gallery. "Something that's been sorely lacking in Broward County," she says, "is a space for emerging artists that are focused in pop culture." Her space is a kind of "curated boutique," she says, staying intentionally vague about the edgy work she prefers. "Basically, it's all filled with stuff that I think is neat." The Bear and Bird's first art show "For the Love of Munny" a collection of peculiarly compelling art toys with personalized designs -- drew a crowd of 1500.
New Times: What kind of spy gadgets could I buy at the Bear and Bird?
Magnetta-Ottati: Ooh! We have these cool cameras called Lomos. One of the styles takes sequential shots that capture pictures at fractions of a second's difference. That's a great spy tool.
What exotic destination would you like to travel to?
Japan! I've always wanted to go. Just because I know that my head will explode from all the cool stuff. I think that I'm drawn to it in part by the awesome pull of their shopping and bizarre characters and signage! I know my husband Tate would really enjoy seeing a sumo match and eating uni!
How would you prepare for the Bond experience?
I'd love a super-fabulous bag of spy disguises. It would be interesting to blend in to any situation and learn as an insider. I can't wait to try out my bald cap and beard disguise. I actually have a dynamic duo of attack dogs. Both are adorable, scruffy mutts from the Humane Society. They are always there to remind me to take time out of my all too busy life for a good belly scratching!
Yes, that's a huge glass case filled with toothpicks mounted on the east wall of the Take a Byte showroom in downtown Hollywood. To answer your next question, there are exactly 1 million of them. As to the questions of why someone collected them and who that someone is, let's all agree not to ask, OK? You may not want to know. Besides, you came here because you have an ailing or outdated computer. Fact is, most of us don't know what hardware we need, nor what's compatible with our machine, and even if we did, we don't trust ourselves to install it without breaking the thing. There's a better way. Drop off the laptop at Take a Byte and let Mike get his mitts on it. By the same day, he'll list all the hardware you need to modernize your computer. He can order that hardware at wholesale prices, then install it for you. And as a complimentary gift, he'll cure your system of all those viruses and spyware that slow it down. You get an old computer that runs like a brand-new model at a fraction of the price. Just don't ask about the toothpicks.
You can hock Granddaddy's watch in any old shop, but rare are the pawn shops where a fellow can pawn in bulk. Like his helicopter. Or his bulldozer. They buy it all at Casino Pawn & Jewelry, located across Stirling Road from the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino a short stroll for the inveterate gamblers among us. Buyers can find a whole fleet of four-wheelers, choose from among a tool section that rivals the Home Depot, or pick up a slew of musical instruments the detritus of so much misspent ambition. Prices are competitive with eBay, and the manager, Mark, claims his shop pays the highest price for goods in an area strewn with pawn shops.
Any health-food store can sell stuff that claims to be good for you. But go to the counter at Simply Natural and you're liable to find Richard or Shahrooz, the husband-and-wife owners who have been known to offer free meditation classes, free guest lecturers, and even free samples of vegan foods. They can draw upon their vast expertise on all matters health to recommend an herbal remedy or nutrition supplement for whatever ails you. Or they can set you up with one of the many practitioners who rotate through the shop's back office: an acupuncturist, masseuse, reflexologist, iridologist, or CardioVision analyst. Plus, it's a short walk next door to the Simply Natural Café, which boasts the area's cheapest and most truly organic menu around. The meat is grass-fed and hormone-free, and even the beer and wine are organic.
So there's this guy, Books. He won't say his real name. He does some graffiti, but he can't talk about that either because, you know, it's illegal. He and his business partner, Dr. Black (don't ask him his real name either), have taken stencil to an artistic level. Remember stencils from grade school? These ain't them. Books and Black have made intricate stencils and engravings carved with a CO2 laser onto metal, wood, and even mirrors. They've been hired to create business cards, poker tables, and wedding invites. They'll even engrave the windshield of your tricked-out ride. While they're both very mysterious about what they do, they're open about one thing: MasterCard is accepted.

Russian, NORAD forces unite in training exercise over Alaska
OVER ALASKA — Flying at 34,000 feet over the Bering Strait, the Russian pilots had a singular focus: making sure they smoothly received the handoff of a "hijacked" jetliner from their U.S.-Canadian counterparts.
Up here, there were no thoughts about strained Russia-U.S. relations. Those were for high-level officials.
This training exercise was to make sure Russia and NORAD forces could find, track and escort a hijacked aircraft over international borders.
NORAD's director of operations, Canadian Maj. Gen. André Viens, said there were never any discussions about canceling the exercise, known as Vigilant Eagle. It's been held five times since 2003. But the exercises on Tuesday and Wednesday were the first since U.S.-Russia relations became strained because of National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden, Syria, human rights and other issues.
"The cooperation with the Russian Federation Air Force personnel has been ongoing for the past year for this particular serial, and at no time there was any discussion about canceling the event for this year," Viens said Thursday at the conclusion of the two-day exercise.
His counterpart, Gen. Maj.Dmitry Gomenkov, commander of the Aerospace Defense Brigade for eastern Russia, agreed. "I see no problems," Gomenkov said through a translator.
Col. Patrick Carpentier, the deputy commander of NORAD's Alaska Region, was an observer on the "hijacked plane." He said the exercise is about cooperation.
"All these other factors really don't play in this," said Carpentier, a member of the Canadian Air Force. "This is a mission that we have to accomplish, so it really is beyond those types of frictions. We cooperate because we have to."
Russian observers were at NORAD facilities in both Anchorage and Colorado Springs, while NORAD personnel were sent to Khabarovsk, Russia, to observe the exercise.
The drama played out twice this week over western Alaska and eastern Russia, involving the Russian Federation Air Force and, for the first time, Canadian Air Force planes representing NORAD, a bi-national command of Canada and the United States.
It involved a small plane, representative of a 757 passenger jet, being hijacked shortly after taking off from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
Two Canadian CF-18 Hornets intercepted the hijacked plane, flying at about 75 mph, a little bit west of Mount McKinley, the highest peak on North America. The two Canadian fighters escorted the plane over Alaska's western coast, where it was handed off to three Russian Sukhoi (SU-27) fighter jets at the border.
The Canadian jets kept their distance from the "hijacked" plane, unlike the Russian fighter jets, which were so near the wings at all times, they were close enough that observers could make out the faces of the Russian pilots.
Both Viens and Gomenkov deemed the exercise a success.

Regrettably I don't follow your meaning, but the article is not consistent with the, "last stand " scenario, in fact it's the opposite, the armed opposition, that's how the BBC as instigator of the foreign insurgency, term the mercenary terrorists, who are taking a back seat these last couple of days. According to the author, Countries like Indonesia are voicing their concern about Britain collaborating with terrorism, France and the US. following suit. He does specifically mention Libya the feller that don't collect his pay anymore, apparently he got paid out in full, was his name Sam, I'm wondering.

The prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 17:1 and Isaiah 17:14
states Damascus will become a ruinous heap in one night. Damascus was never destroyed so this prophecy likely occurs in our generation.
The prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 17:3 and Isaiah 17:5 states Ephraim and the Valley of Rephaim in Israel will also be struck.
The people living in Damascus, Ephraim and the Valley of Rephaim should vacate those regions where utter destruction will occur.

"...The president of the new opposition coalition, Mouaz al-Khatib, has disagreed publicly with the U.S. decision to blacklist Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaida-linked force that has proved to be one of the most successful fighting groups in the war against Assad.
Support for al-Nusra appears to be gaining traction among those who support the rebellion no doubt alienating many Syrians who hope for a secular future...."

This Article reflects the simple facts which are ignored by religious fanatics.
Assad is absolutely ignorant and missed over a year ago the opportunity to wiggle his way out of the uprising and give a little and keep a lot. Assad thought following his brutal fathers is the way to go but did not realized times have changed.People in the middle east and most Arab country's received a lot of RELIGIOUS BS but not much more.The election of Moris in Egypt will turn out to be a other big mistake and the religious fanatics will grabe more power.
I am wondering when there is no more oil in the region will the fanatics and there God send people food or will they start educating people including woman and produce and invent necessity's? Why European country's and others have great BALANCED systems and ways of life? Because there are few insecure FANATICS but many good and very well educated people.The representatives of God know there place and people know from the past how brutal the business with God can be.
Please let me know when any of you received a message from God but not a MIRAGE !

Hans the sentiment your pounding is both
disturbing and very familiar, it's nothing other than the door bell of Hell that your ringing, OH! I know it has worked in the past, but those days are over. It worked for MacArthur and his evil creed that created the wonderful life you exhibit as a truthful expression of them without religion, of course in truth it was Not. It wasn't even sentiment, the US owned almost everything after the war, it was coercion posing as sentiment. Mobutu, Algeria, Israel, Vietnam, you name it. Religion was upper most in the minds of people who took our future and pored it down the drain of unsustainable decadent shallowness that Western Europe is, and on top of that they forced the then 3rd. World to embrace inappropriate economic and social life almost in every way. But its not that concerning my answer to your comment.
Hans I've had millions of encounters with Allah and so have you, God is everything, his collection of concepts, crafted into material substance by His Person giving out the capacity to accumulate, and so Self
is not His alone, there are many individual concepts within His collection. Which in actual fact is his Persona.
Hans if you don't know what existence is how can you tell the forum what it should be.?.

Your accounting is excellent as usual,
Lujack, but answer this, if it's true as you assert, then assuming a probable time,(p) Isaiah making this prophecy, say 2732 years ago is in actual fact here and now, then how does Isaiah 7: 18. " When the time comes the Lord will whistle, and the armies will come from Egypt like flies, and from Assyria like bees.". Figure into it. If you still can't grasp before and after don't worry, next tine I'll explain how they came to be.

The poor stupid Hamasarat called War Monger alias Unreality is always best alias LIE beats himself Silly Silly! The imbecile stays on these boards day and night hiding behind different names to spread its Hamasarat terrorist support, hate and support for HamasArat terrorist acts being carried out by the Palestinian Hamas. The thing behind the name Liar beats himself silly is what is called a HamasaRAT (google it) basically it is a pro Hamas, Pro ASSADOMITE Anti-American government ANTI-JEWISH propagandist that is tasked with staying on boards like this to give a HAMASARATS AND ASSADARATS ANT-American government, ANTI-JEWISH, ANTI-THIS AND THAT push in all subjects. Its tactic mainly is to try and drown out all other truthful posts on here and replace them with its scripted HamasARAT lies and war mongering propaganda. Notice I said War Monger! That's one of the names the scumbag used as one of his filthy uneducated Low life Low IQ ignorant nonsense!! It will fail at its task!

#20 Dec 15, 2012
With Filthy lying propagandists like this scumbag, I don't blame Israel for hiring Internet Soldiers one bit!! Shut the hell up! If you cannot tell the truth then stay the hell off these forums you lying hamasarat!! Folks this clown is well known by the language he uses:
Depraved sexual insults, bile, bigotry, threats, disinformation and character assassination. Thats right: Im talking about Hamasarat, Jew and Israel hating trolls who infect the Internet with Hamas, anti-Israel propaganda.
The Internet, though, is the latest, some might say the greatest, propaganda playground, and Hamas cannot cope with factual, passionate, well-documented stories that expose its war crimes and unrepentant criminality.
If youve come across these Hamasarat Sock Puppets, on-line or otherwise, you have learned that no amount of reasoned argument or intellectual maturity has any effect.
Thats because they are Hamas PAID PROPAGANDIST doesn't care if they come across as ignorant, obnoxious, nasty or inane.

[QUOTE=9 Micky Mouse;2377109 Not hitting your intended target puts innocent people at risk. Look at the Empire State Building shooting in New York, recently perp was hit as well as innocent civilians and NYPD needs to stop making excuses and compensate those who where hit.[/QUOTE]
Hey Mouse,
Considering that you probably weren't there and all you know is what you saw on TV, you shouldn't be so quick to blame the NYPD for what happened.
Once someone points a weapon at you, he's a dead man. This is not negotiable. And when it occurs on a crowded street, sometimes there is the unfortunate "collateral damage" we have seen.
Additionally, the majority of the fired rounds DID hit the perp, but being 9mm, they just went right thru the guy, and ricocheted off those concrete "planters" (auto blockers that prevent cars from being driven into the building).
So the next time you want to jump on the NYPD, get your facts right. Its these kinds of bad info that makes matters much worse.
If I was you, I'd be careful, you're starting to sound like a liberal.
Oh and BTW, have you ever had someone point a weapon at your face, I have, more than once, and its a totally different ballgame than popping off a few rounds at a paper target at the pistol range.
The "best" performing ammunition is perhaps the one which offers the best combination of #1 penetration and #2 expansion. You should desire sufficient penetration for the projectile to reach vital organs, and then enough expansion of the projectile to inflict damage. Then, you will need to determine the combination of platform and ammunition which you are most accurate with, including follow-up shots. Choosing a .45ACP because of its attributes will do you no good if you cannot accurately shoot the firearm.
Determine the the combination of firearm and caliber with which you are most accurate and comfortable with. Then determine which ammunition works best in that firearm, keeping in mind that which offers you the better combination of penetration and expansion.

About 10:30 last night I had a pretty scruffy looking guy knocking on our door. My wife and I had no idea who he was so I grabbed my M&P and my wife grabbed her PPS. My wife went to the nursery to make sure the baby was safe and I headed out to see what the guy wanted. I only opened the main door leaving the metal security door closed and locked and asked what he needed.
He said that he and his buddy had run out of gass and need my help. He kept stressing that he was a good guy and didn't want any trouble. I let him know that I didn't have any gas for him but I would call AAA or a wrecker for him. At this point he said no and asked if he could come in and use the phone. I obviously told him no, and this is when it took a turn for the worse. When I told him no, he starte to say something and reach and turned my door knob which was thankfully locked.
During this whole conversation I have had my pistol behind my back. When he reached for the door I stepped back and brought my gun to a low ready and yelled at the guy to get the he'll of my property before he got his sorry butt shot. He started screaming that he didn't want any trouble and please don't call the police and started backing away from the door.
At this point I yelled for my wife to call 911 and I kept the guy in sight until he got into his supposedly broke down car and drove off.
I couldn't get the tag but I got a good description of the guy and the car for the police. I filled out a whole report and I sure hope this guy is caught before he hurts someone.
Needless to say it took a while to get to sleep last night, and first thing this morning I purchased a new camera system for the house.
I am now thinking that I probably made a mistake about opening the door but I felt pretty comfortable with the metal security door. I just really lucky he didn't pull anything when he saw my pistol.
Anyway, I appreciate everyones opinion her so let me know what you think. I'm a little concerned about this guy Comming back while I'm not home. My wife works out of the house so she and my son are home alone most of the day.

i am sorry that you are having some difficulties. please copy and paste the link below to view some good mechanical drawing of your product. you can also price and order required partst tp repair your sears tractor. i think your tractor was made around 2003. your expert will respond shortly. //www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/craftsman-parts/riding-mower-tractor-parts/model-917276070/0247/1509200?pathtaken=&prst=0&shdmod=917276070?sid=mmlxexpertxmerch
XX Wade_, February 02, 2012
the tractor looks to be a 2004 model (according to the serial number).
if the pushrod is missing then it is very likely down in the engine. that absolutely has to be retrieved or it will end up causing catastrophic failure. once you get the push rod out you can use the engine model number (on the rocker arm cover) to order a new push rod if the one in the engine is damaged. the valves should all be set to .004.
the engine is likely not starting because of the pushrod situation. if the valve can't open then it's not going to run.
you can go here with tractor model number for tractor parts and use the engine model number for engine parts.
thank you for using manage my life!

House Signs: Yes or No?
Sometimes a house has just the right amount of doors and windows and eaves and things to fill up all the space one needs to fill to please the eye. And sometimes a house doesn't – ours, for example, has a big dead zone between a first-floor bedroom window and the front door. There's just nothing… nothing but boring blank siding. Until recently, we filled the space with a Penn Dutch hex – one indicating friendship, supposedly – but it's begun to look a bit worn around the edges in recent months. But what to put in its place? Hanging plants? We can't afford to put in another window there or push out the front door at this time. At some point, signs came to mind. Specifically, signs that advertise who lives in the house to which they're affixed.
The thing is, though, I eventually nixed the idea. While it's easy enough to find out who lives in my house – search for the address online or have a peek in the mailbox – do I really want to advertise that the so-and-so lives here and, oh yeah, we got married in such-and-such a year? Not to mention the fact that it feels a little hokey-boasty to me. What do you think? When you see a sign that says something like "The Johnsons – Established 1994″ or whatever, how does that strike you?

The Young App-rentices: Five App Developers Ages 16 and Under [UPDATE]
Meet four minor App developers with major ideas. All age 16 or younger, they're part of a generation raised with multi-touch and social media, and they're cranking out profitable ideas for new devices and platforms as fast as manufacturers let them.
Since FastCompany.com last spoke with 16-year-old T.J. Pluhacek, who'd developed an app for the iPad, his app sales, have "gone up 300%," he says. His local Portland-area news stations did news reports on him and his NoteLook, too. What also became apparent along the way is that T.J.'s got a posse, an elite band of homework-acing mathletically inclined young developers whose focus and determination makes them shining examples of Generation i.
With the next-gen iPhone all over the Web today, we thought we'd get personal with these under-18, next-gen iPhone app developers and wannabe tech moguls. We suspect there are more of them cropping up each day in their parents basements and school computer labs everywhere. We talked four more standouts. One of them, Joe, hasn't personally developed an app, but he's one of the forces behind another project that three of them are working on. Read on, and be amazed, and maybe feel a bit lazy by comparison.
Jonah Grant: The Ideas Man
Age: 14
Location: Chicago, IL (USA)
When did you get started?
I first got started with computers when I was about five years old. I loved searching around my PC and seeing what I could find (demo software, games, etc.), and I got into developing software about a year and a half ago when the iPhone 3G came out, which allowed for third-party applications.
What was your first computer?
My first computer was a Windows 98 Dell desktop PC. I can still remember the gigantic monitor sitting on the desk in my kitchen that would always have Limewire open (back then Limewire looked so hacker with the black background and lime green/red text).
And your first programming platform?
When I started learning Obj-C, it was for the iPhone/iPod Touch. But before I began coding for the mobile OS, I started out on Mac building little things to get me ready for the iPhone SDK.
Apps currently in the store:
- Commandments – the original tablet app, $.99 for iPad
- Pong – iPhone Edition, $.99 for iPhone and iPad
- App of the Day – free, for iPhone
- Hot Links – $.99 for iPhone
What apps are you working on?
I'm currently working (well, releasing) an iPhone app called Walkie-Talkie 3000. I'm working on this app with a friend, Matthew Downham, and it is essentially a theme-able Bluetooth walkie-talkie for your iPhone or iPod Touch (works for iPad, too, but not made for iPad).
Why did you get into this?
I wanted to try something new and get my name out there. The iPhone platform was blowing up (and still is), and I felt that it would be a fun and good experience to get myself into.
Where do you see it going?
I see iPhone apps sticking along for a long time, but turning into more toy-apps rather than actual useful, productivity applications because the iPad has a much bigger potential for applications that are meant for getting various things done, whether it be email, reading your RSS feeds, tweets, the paper, or catching up on the latest episode of FlashForward (or any TV show) via the ABC iPad app (one of my favorites) the iPad is the best experience for those things, along with many others that really show what its potential is over the iPhone and iPod Touch.
How many units have you sold?
I have sold (free and paid) around 66,000 units.
What do you want to be/do when you're older?
I want to be in either the film business or work/own(start) a Silicon Valley startup when I am older.
Who do you want to play you in the movie of your life, and why?
Ooooh that's a hard one! I'd either want Kiefer Sutherland because he's, well, awesome, or Gerard Butler, because he was so badass in Law Abiding Citizen (one of my favorite movies).
If your app were a song by a "popular beat combo," what would it be and why?
Not gonna lie, but I have no idea what a "popular beat combo" is.
Stephen Huber: The Closer
Age: 14
Location: Detroit, Michigan
When did you get started?
I started getting into the app development when I was around 13 years old. At the time, I had a YouTube channel and reviewed iPhone applications and other technology products. I was asked by Elias Pietilä from Helsinki, Finland, to review his past application, Pajatzo. Elias and I formed a great working relationship, and he asked for my help with his upcoming app, Wooden Labyrinth 3D. I helped design several of the custom levels built into the paid version. Once the app was approved by Apple and live on the App Store, I did some marketing work including, as we like to call, "Forum-blasting," setting up media coverage, and giveaways.
What was your first computer?
My first personal computer was a Macbook Pro. I've been a huge "Apple nerd" ever since I got my first-generation iPod Nano.
And your first programming platform?
I started coding in Objective-C shortly after I got my first Mac computer.
Apps currently in the store:
Currently, I have one app live on the App Store: Wooden Labyrinth 3D. The developers of this app were Elias Pietilä, Tapani Pihlajamäki, and me. We also had some great musicians make a Spanish guitar soundtrack: Olli Santala & Jan Oksanen. Wooden Labyrinth 3D is currently priced at $2.99, with a free version available. It is available for iPhone and iPod touch, although we are working on an iPad version. One of our major features of the game is literally infinite levels, due to an algorithm that makes levels right on your i-Device. It was our marketing choice to maintain infinite levels on the free version but to place ads and limit features.
What apps are you working on?
I am currently working with Qvik on a simple, free, ad-supported drawing application called "Qvik Sketch." It should be available in a week or two. Basically, you can create some really nice drawings in a very short amount of time. I am probably the worst drawer on paper, but I can make some really neat drawings in less than 30 seconds. [24 hours after this feature was published, Stephen emailed me to tell me that Apple had approved Qvik Sketch and it was available on iTunes.]
Why did you get into this?
I actually got into the app-developing business to learn something new and challenge myself. It's a great opportunity for anyone to make a name for themselves.
Where do you see it going?
Wherever it takes me. I love working with the people in the business and get a great sense of satisfaction from a successful product.
How many units have you sold?
Free and Full version combined, Wooden Labyrinth 3D has shipped over 7.5 million copies. The Free version has made it to the No. 1 spot in Free Games, and it won the Student Apple Design Award in 2009. We are very pleased with how well the app has done.
What do you want to be/do when you're older?
After I graduate from University of Detroit Jesuit High School, I'd like to go to Stanford University or Loyola University Chicago to study communications and marketing. Becoming a marketing director of a technology company would be my dream job!
Who do you want to play you in the movie of your life, and why?
Taylor Lautner. Who wouldn't want to be the guy girls are obsessed with?
If your app were a pop song by a "popular beat combo," what would it be and why?
"Jumpin' Jack Flash" by the Rolling Stones. The title fits the objective of the game well.
Joe Constan: The Smartie Pants
Age: 15
Location: Dearborn, Michigan
When did you get started?
In terms of programming in general, I started quite young actually, probably around 12 or so, but in respect to the iPhone platform, just a few months.
What was your first computer?
Just a crummy old Dell, back when grunge was still cool and every mailbox in America contained roughly 13 AOL free trial discs at any given point in time. Things have gotten significantly better since then, in both respects.
And your first programming platform?
Coincidentally, when I started out it was also to program for iPods, but this was long before the iPhone, when you had to hack your iPod and install Linux on it if you wanted to play games. Despite what one might think though, there are really very few similarities between that and developing for the iPhone. Personally, I still prefer the former because of it's simplicity, but it is nice having access to the massive amount of documentation Apple makes available to their developers.
Apps currently in the store:
Not applicable
What apps are you working on?
Well I can't tell you of course, then you would steal my idea. I mean, if I were you, I would definitely steal it, because it's pretty awesome. Andrew might just tell you anyway though. If he were an animal, he would definitely be a narwhal, because narwhals are notoriously bad at keeping secrets.
Why did you get into this?
I'm definitely an artsy kind of guy, and I love the creative aspect to it, the idea of creating a working, useful application out of nothing but some graphics and lines of code. Many, many lines of code.
Where do you see it going?
Into the App Store and subsequently onto people's iPhones and iPads, at which point they will be bombarded with copious amounts of subliminal advertising. That's where the big money's at.
How many units have you sold?
Not applicable.
What do you want to be/do when you're older?
Whatever Steve Jobs is now, that. Or a rock star.
Who do you want to play you in the movie of your life, and why?
I'd have to say Johnny Depp, purely due to the uncanny physical likeness.
If your app were a song by a "popular beat combo," what would it be and why?
Probably "Unfinished Song" by Styx, because it's not finished yet. But combined with "Black Dog" by Led Zeppelin, because it' still completely awesome.
Andrew Rauh: The Zuck-let
Age: 16
Location: Dearborn, MI.
When did you get started?
Although I have had a lot of ideas for awhile, I really did not start actually programming until around the middle of my sophomore year.
What was your first computer?
The first computer I would play around on was an Apple Macintosh IIci desktop running OS 7 or 8. Shortly after, I used a Gateway running Windows ME, then another desktop with XP. Now, I use a 13-inch Macbook Aluminum with Snow Leopard with 22-inch ext. monitor.
And your first programming platform?
Well, I first played around with Python on a family laptop running Ubuntu Linux before I got my Mac last April. But the majority of my work has been done on my Mac with Leopard/Snow Leopard.
Apps currently in the store:
I have no apps in the app store … yet.
What apps are you working on?
I am currently working on two: an app with Joe Constan that will be coming out in mid-June for the iPad, a Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr client that provides a simple, quick way to update your status, share pictures, short videos, and location. We have not decided on the official name yet. There will be a free ad-supported version and a $.99 version of the app. Although this has been done before, we believe we are doing it in a simpler, sleeker manner. The second one, "Solutions," is an AP Chem/College Chemistry utility app. It will contain over 15 different equations commonly used in chemistry to help quickly solve complicated problems. I hope to also eventually add graphing abilities to the app, and the capability to read data from various instruments that would connect via the iPod pin port and easily share answers with fellow classmates via Twitter, Facebook, or Email. The app will cost $4.99. I am aiming to release the iPhone version in August and the iPad version by September.
Why did you get into this?
I got into developing simply because I love innovation and the ability to make my ideas a reality. I enjoy projects and working with others to make really awesome things happen. Also, I was tremendously motivated after attending Intel ISEF 2009 in Reno, Nevada. At the international science fair, I won third grand prize in chemistry, and met countless amazing people from around the world. The event made me even more motivated to turn my ideas into real, working apps.
Where do you see it going?
I just want to give it my best shot to develop these ideas in the best way I possibly can. My goal is to find established companies willing to invest in my ideas and assist me in anyway possible. So far, the online tech community has been amazingly supportive, and the connections I have built via sites like Twitter are countless. My dream is to go to the University of Michigan, MIT, or Stanford, and I really hope my hard work now will help me reach my goal. (Also, making some money to pay off the incredibly expensive tuition at those schools would be much appreciated … or receiving scholarship opportunities.)
How many units have you sold?
None yet, but I hope to change this very soon. So far all I have gotten is a lot of positive feedback.
What do you want to be/do when you're older?
I hope to get a Masters in computer science from Stanford, but also take a few business and economic classes. I want to either establish my own startup company or work for an amazing company like Apple, Google, or Twitter. Also, although I do enjoy the programming aspect of computer science, I really love the visionary/creative parts of this field. I am greatly inspired by guys like Kevin Rose (CEO of Digg.com), R.J. Pittman (former Google Product Manager now employed at Apple), and Quentin Stafford-Fraser (he wrote the software for the first Web cam, The Trojan Room Coffee Pot, as well as the first VNC server and client software for Windows).
Who do you want to play you in the movie of your life, and why?
Well, between doing all this computer stuff and taking a few college level classes, I really don't have much time to follow movies, much less the actors in them. Although I can safely say, it would never be Justin Beiber.
If your app were a song by a "popular beat combo," what would it be and why?
Hmm … well the chemistry app would be kind of a boring song haha, so I am going to say if my life was a song by a popular band, it would most likely be a song by JET or the Fratellis. Almost all of their songs are fast, upbeat, with a positive message. Also, they are great bands to blast at 3 a.m. when I'm still up studying.
As for that Zuckerberg reference, Andrew also talked to us about a project he is working on alongside Joe Constan, Stephen Huber, and a fourth guy, Gian Carlo Moore. It's an educational social networking site, with apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android. "The concept," he wrote in an email to FastCompany.com, "is to take the powerful capabilities of sites like Twitter and Facebook, and use them for strictly educational purposes, allowing an entire generation of students to work, learn, and grow together."
Seems a bunch of them already are.

We believe a biased judge disrupted a reasonable and legal process to close the wolf hunt after too many Yellowstone National Park wolves were taken. We are asking for a return to the wolf management plan as in 2011 when a very low quota protected many YNP wolves.
Gilbert's ruling contains many irrelevancies and biases, like her argument that we need to take out wolves because they depredate on livestock. Not in the YNP area they don't.
If the folks at the top of the ladder would take the scientists' findings, they would learn the good things that have happened in the national parks after the reintroduction of the wolves, such as vegetation growing and the otters, the moose, the song birds and the beaver coming back.
We would like every one involved in voting to vote "no" on HB 73.

The review is done. Much improved over the past few years but I still can't call it "elite" just yet. Too many holes to fill but this was a huge step forward.
Last night's podcast was a doozie -- we rambled for a little over an hour and a half talking about baseball, Heavy Rain and the subject of the evening: Boardgames and their effect on Xbox Live with special guest Michael Barnes.
I could have talked for hours but everyone was getting tired. (By that I mean Brandon)
Look for it Monday, as usual.

The Swallow, as distinct from the martlet, is sometimes met with.
martlet and I both feel that we must have the north-west tower.
You will consult with martlet what to do about the defences at once, while I write back to your father.
Most heraldry books state also that the martlet has no beak.
Some writers confound it with the martlet, stating that the alerion is the same bird with its wings displayed or extended.
The martlet is practically always represented in profile, at rest, and with its wings closed.
I cannot get at the root of this word, 'martlet,' which is the really classical and authoritative English one.
A near relative of this bird is the Martin, or, as it is called in the language of heraldry, the martlet (Hirundo urbica).
Commoner than the eagle as a charge is the martlet, a humbler bird which is never found as the sole charge of a shield.
The martlet is the appropriate "difference" or mark of cadency for the fourth son.

Mma can produce very nice graphs of results using Plot, ListPlot etc.
I use Frame->True and FrameLabel->{"label1","label2"} for labels.
I frequently need greek letters, exponents and other symbols for
publication ready figures. Does anybody know if some TeX-like method
exists to produce exponents etc in FrameLabels and other text within
graphics? Maybe I have overlooked it in the various books on Mma.

Try googling for "gzinflate():" errors. And see what you can find.
gzinflate() Is a common error , and it depends on the service that you are trying to embed. So I don't think it can be fixed.
If I remember correctly from my flash days, you DO need a commercial licence to use their code.
However they are not the only game in town, checkout velocity.js
You can't. Your best option is to contact the author and maybe make some kind of a deal to split profits from the wordpress theme.
"Install" is probably not a proper word for that additional service, but it's used because it's easy to communicate to non technical buyer what needs to be done.
IMH opinion you will need to optimize the server (in my case nginx) to get good performance. Hosting is cheap these days, and if you plan of running a business, 100$/month shouldn't be a problem. If you have 4/8 gigs of ram everything should run smoothly.
Also make sure you always have space for the scrollbar, because on some of the slides the scrollbar appears and on some it doesn't , so the content jumps.
body:before { content:''; position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; //other properties }
So that means that the marketplace is kind of broken. Popular items shouldn't be a key to a theme success, as demonstrated with a lot of great themes that are nowhere near the popular items page.
PIP (popular items page) has the same themes for months in row , and those themes are not the reflection of the current marketplace condition.
Apple store has the same problem, and there are a lot of developers that are stopping developing for IOS because they can't get their foot in the door. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9390665
So yes, bulk purchases are easy way to get some exposure, in it can be shady business.
So I propose to eliminate the "popular files page" completely, and break it down to categories.
Global Envato sales won't be affected , but the distribution of income will be more evenly spread.
I think there was a discussion about this a long time ago on ActiveDen, and then it was decided that it was not allowed. So that part about "incentives" was added to item promotion guidelines.

Once again, I've just spent a couple of days in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress (MWC). Year after year, the show is opening up to non-telecom players and going beyond mobile. Think about the rise of personal cloud-based services delivering consumer experiences across devices, Sony's marketing efforts to promote seamless entertainment across different screens, or the emergence of the "phablets" acronym (devices in between a phone and a tablet, such as Asus Padfone or LG Vu).
While it is difficult to summarize all the news and announcements, here are some thoughts on MWC 2012:

Azerbaijan: Government and UNICEF celebrate 60th anniversary
BAKU, December 15, 2006 – A concert and reception at the Azerbaijan State Philharmonic held on 14 December 2006 was the culmination of a series of events throughout 2006 to celebrate UNICEF 60th anniversary. The gala event was celebrated with the participation of leaders from government, civil society, the diplomatic community, private sector and media.
Famous works by international and Azerbaijani composers were performed by the newly-created Children Symphonic Orchestra. The event opened with a performance by the renowned Azerbaijani pianist Murad Adigezalzade and the leading opera singer Azer Zeynalov.
"UNICEF has always helped to protect the rights of children and women in this country, especially those who suffered as a result of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," said Deputy Prime Minister Elchin Efendiev in his opening speech. "We appreciate the work that UNICEF is doing, particularly in the sphere of child protection helping to improve the lives of vulnerable children including disabled children, street children and those left without parental care."
About 300 guests attended the event, including which were senior ministers from the Government, members of Parliament, public figures, Ambassadors, journalists and young people.
"Poverty reduction cannot succeed without first ensuring the well-being of children"- UNICEF Representative in Azerbaijan
Welcoming guests, UNICEF Representative in Azerbaijan, Hanaa Singer, talked about UNICEF and its work to help build a 'world fit for children'. "In Azerbaijan the UN dream is to join hands to change the black gold into human gold," she said.
"To us, child poverty is an issue of compelling moral and ethical significance as even short-term poverty can affect the rest of a child's life and can leave a legacy for the next generation. That is why poverty reduction cannot succeed without first ensuring the well-being of children. A young child's growing mind and body cannot wait for economic development to trickle down to the poorest families. He or she needs action now. Investing fully in children today, will ensure the well-being and productivity of future generations," she continued.
During the event, a letter of greeting from the First Lady and President of the Heydar Aliev Foundation, Ms. Mehriban Aliyeva, was read out.
The President of Azerbaijan also congratulated UNICEF, sending a letter to UNICEF Executive Director, Ann Veneman. "The people of Azerbaijan will not forget the assistance of the Fund to the refugee children driven from their homelands as a result of Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno Karabakh conflict. UNICEF country office in Azerbaijan has done a lot in the country during transition," the letter says.
Rather than a one-off event, in Azerbaijan the 60th anniversary of UNICEF was a year-long celebration incorporating many activities and events. Highlights among these included the "Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS" National youth football tournament organized in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports which toured throughout the country. An important Conference on Child Protection reform was also held and will be followed up by the launch of a Child Parliament for the first time in Azerbaijan.
To mark the occasion of the 60th anniversary of UNICEF a number of stories on UNICEF were published by both print and broadcast media.
Not just be an occasion for celebration, all these events were also an opportunity for advocacy and reflection on the achievements of the Government and UNICEF in the area of child rights, as well a chance to consider new endeavors and future challenges.
UNICEF was one of the first United Nations agencies to open its doors in Azerbaijan in 1994 when it began its work to assist internally displaced people and refugee women and children caught up in the struggles of the transition period. Since then UNICEF has started to re-orient the focus of its activities from direct relief assistance towards longer term development goals.
UNICEF's achievements in the country include, but are not limited to:

Sounds like you got it covered, I suggest you do yourself a favor and keep it simple
This is a discussion on need suggestions for fixing up mossberg 590 within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; a friend is giving me an older 590 with a field barrel( 12 gauge) I plan speed feed stocks mag extension and 18 inch barrel. ...
a friend is giving me an older 590 with a field barrel( 12 gauge) I plan speed feed stocks mag extension and 18 inch barrel. All the above should only set me back around 200 priced at midway. ( barrel 79, ditto stocks and extension around 40. Anybody have any other ideas for add ons?
Sounds like you got it covered, I suggest you do yourself a favor and keep it simple
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
Why do you want to put an 18" barrel on it? It comes with a 20", and if you go with a shorter barrel you are going to either have to get a shorter magazine and loose magazine capacity, or have the magazine sticking out beyond the barrel. Neither of which is a good option, IMO. I would much rather keep the extra 2" of barrel.
I've had a 590 for a number of years, and the only thing I would change on it is adding ghost ring sights.
Blessed be the Lord my rock who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle. Psalm 144:1
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Turbo, if your barrel retaining nut screws into the end of the mag tube, you won't be able to add and extension.
Good choice on the stock and barrel. You could add either ghost-rings, or a tritium/white front sight...
I have not gotten it yet I am begining to suspect it is a 500 not a 590 as he told me it was set up as a field hunting gun. Terry is an ex lurp guy and knows his guns but he may have misunderstood when I asked him if it was a 590. since it is a gift I am not going to complain whatever it is.
Let me know when you get your shotty if it will fit.
"You've never lived until you've almost died. For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know" - T.R.
<----My LT was unhappy that I did not have my PASS-Tag at that fire. But I found the body so he said he would overlook it. :)
wow thank you for the generous offer I hope to get it next week at work so I will pm you when it arrives
+1 what SIXTO said...keep it simple and dont waste money on "bling" add-ons.Sounds like you got it covered, I suggest you do yourself a favor and keep it simple
I know exactly what your are talking about all the bs stuff you see in the guns catalogs folding stocks side saddle heat shields all have there place but all I want is a simple hd pump shotgun. It will end up being a 2 for because it comes with a 28 inch field barrel( I don't know what choke) I believe it was turkey hunting. Picture when I get it. Terry my friend is a great guy has about 50 - 60 guns former lurp medic.
I will say that a good tactical-light on a HD shotgun has it's merits...everything else just make it heavy.
Laser sight along with that tactical light. Sounds stupid but I'll look for the article if you like. It argued convincingly that the laser sight Mossberg is putting on its 410 geared to women for HD is very effective in target acquisitions.
I suppose but we are talking about a 12 gauge shotgun at short range. My wife won't touch my firearms and tolerates them at best. I don't think I need a laser at those ranges. I do own an xml for my 45 xd I could probably attach it to the gun at some point. I am supposed to get it tomorrow so we will see...
To those that paid for my freedom,
As with all statements I've made and All that I will make, please check your local laws to verify accuracy. (and if i'm wrong let me know as I like to be right in the future) After all I'm just some goofball posting on an internet forum.
I have a 590 with ghost ring sights, I would love to cut the barrel down to 18" but it would cost to much, the 2" add in the bush and I find a full load of slugs makes it barrel heavy. I put a heat shield on mine, as I shoot a lot of rounds when I do shoot it. Also installed a Spec-ops recoil reducing stock on it, makes a big differance to recoil firing 3" magnum slugs!! Does interfere with the controls a bit so you have to relearn how to use the gun.
well he brought it in today and it is a 500 not the 590, Rob you are correct you can not get a mag extension on it but it does carry 7. The gun is in great shape but is all in camo. I am thinking I may either pass on changing it into a defense gun as I would prefer all black it would look dumb with a camo receiver and black pump and stock. By the time you refinish it and add the barrell and pump I am thinking I might as well pop for the rem 870 my local gun store has.( all d one up has the mag extension 18 barrel 360.00 out the door. How hard would it be to refinish the receiver? the camo looks to be paint over the black finish? A new barrel is around 80 bucks plus shipping and a black pump is 20 with the speed feed stock that gddyup offered here it would be cheaper then buying a new gun I could always keep it as a field gun although I don't hunt or I could take up skeet or sporting clays.. here is the rem: pictures of the moss to follow

Great! I think track workouts are awesome in terms of helping with speed. Plus, nothing like company at the track, to get the competitive spirit out!

I've always wanted to do a track clinic class or series!! Awesome! I'll have to definitely do some research and find one next year.
P.S. 7:20??? DANG is right!

I did a clinic like that this last summer. It was Wednesday mornings at 6:00 am and the owner of the local running store led the workouts!
I LOVED it. I ran harder with other people around and I got some great advice from the coach. I can't wait to do it again next summer!!

Wow, girl! A 7:20 - can I say AMAZING?!!!
I definitely agree that working out with a group pushes one beyond their comfort level. It just goes to show how much we are really capable of after all :) And what a great price - $75 for nine weeks?! Holy cow, that is a bargain!
Keep up the great work & have fun :)

You're inspiring me to look for track workouts... Thanks! I've just joined a Meetup group for training runs with a pace group, maybe someone there will be able to point me in the right direction. I'd love to work on my speed but I can never motivate myself to do it alone.

CARY, N.C.—After their first two games, ThunderRidge coach Joe White wondered to where his team's usually excellent defense had disappeared. He and his team found it on Friday.
The Grizzlies committed eight errors in their first two games, but in their National High School Invitational finale, ThunderRidge (Highlands Ridge, Colo.) played exemplary defense. Sophomore pitcher Jake Eisler's quick pace and fill-the-zone approach worked perfectly with an infield that made excellent play after excellent play as the Grizzlies shut out Venice (Fla.) 3-0.
"We do have a good defense. We haven't played very good defense this week, but our up-the-middle defense is unbelievable and our third baseman did a great job … When you have a pitcher throwing strikes with a great pace it helps," White said.
Eisler showed why he's a name to remember. Only a sophomore, Eisler located his 84-86 mph fastball impeccably and consistently got ahead of Venice hitters. His secondary stuff may not be as advanced as his fastball, but his fastball was good enough to stay ahead of Venice's lineup. Of the 23 batters he faced, Eisler threw first-pitch strikes to 18.
"Coming out of the bullpen (to start the game) that's what I noticed—I was locating my fastball," Eisler said.
ThunderRidge's bats had one big inning, which was more than enough. The Grizzlies led off the second with a pair of walks, then an error loaded the bases with one out. From there, Aaron Gemani, Josh Brown and Brody Westmoreland had three consecutive singles for a 3-0 lead.
ThunderRidge didn't have many more chances as reliever Wade Hunkapillar came into the game in the third and stymied the Grizzlies with a knuckleball that danced, helped by a wind blowing in from center field.
Venice did get runners to scoring position in the third, fourth, sixth and seventh, but every time they rallied, ThunderRidge would halt the rally. Eisler picked up a strikeout to strand Dalton Guthrie at second in the fourth. Third baseman Tim Donlan robbed Mike Rivera of a potentially run-scoring hit with a snag of a line drive in the sixth and reliever Tyler Loptein induced a fly out to end the final threat as Venice left runners at first and second in the seventh.
Guthrie had three hits for Venice.
ThunderRidge finished its NHSI tournament with a 2-2 record. Venice went 1-3.

Being a few weeks into summer in the Northern Hemisphere (we are jealous over here in our Sydney headquarters!!) things are well and truly starting to warm up! Kulani Kinis are popping up all over the world and we are so amazed by the support you have shown us! We want to shout out a huge thank YOU!!!
We'd love to share a little of our world with you and thought we'd start by introducing one of our ambassadors who you'll recognise from our Instagram account (@kulanikinis). This gorgeous Aussie girl is hard to miss!
Name: Jess Brady
Instagram: @braady (go and check her out!)
Age: 28
Hometown: A tiny rural town called Kin Kin! It's in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. Growing up, Jess' closest beach was at Noosa (about 50 minutes drive away) but she now lives on the beautiful Gold Coast (East Coast of Australia).
Where would we find you on the weekend? The BEACH!! (A girl after our own heart!)
Dream holiday destination? Bora Bora in one of those little rooms with the see-through floors on the water...one day! (#kulanikinilifegoals!!)
Ultimate boy or girl crush? My funny and smart engineer boyfriend Jason! And so many girl crushes! Amber Heard, Ruby Rose, GypsyOne & Unimerce just to name a few.
What's something you always take to the beach? A magazine! I love to read and flick through one while at the beach. I try not to stare at my phone too much because of the glare of the sun. (We hear you Jess!)
Describe your fashion style: Unique and whatever I'm feeling really. Usually comfort is my number one hahha! Style and comfort are important these days. I always consider how hot or cold it's going to be now that I'm older. When I was younger I didn't care at all, I'd wear mini skirts out clubbing in winter with sky-high high-heels!! Now I don't go clubbing, but if I did, I'd wear reasonable shoes and something warm (ditto for us Jess, our go to shoes are a pair of Havaianas!)
What's your favourite healthy snack and/or not so healthy? I love chocolate! But I melt up cacao butter, cacao powder, coconut oil and only a tiny bit of something to make it sweet like agave syrup. (Yum! This sounds delicious Jess, we're going to have try it!!) Also coconut anything is a winner for me – coconut yoghurt, coconut ice-cream, coconut chips! Lately my naughty treat is dried mango dusted with sugar – it's soooo moreish!
What's your favourite chillax activity or what do you do in your downtime? I love to watch DVDs with my boyfriend, go out for breakfast or coffee, play with my doggies (two Mini Foxies), online shop (ooh a fave of ours too!) and of course go to the beach!
What's your favourite past time to try and stay healthy and active? I'm a member of the Ashy Bines Transformation Centre on the Gold Coast, it's much more than a gym! It's a community with the support of like-minded females helping you to reach your goals of fitness and health. I attend a variety of classes including Pilates, Spin, Weights, Junk (boxing, circuits etc), Dance and whatever the trainers want to makeup. Yesterday my gym partner Katie and I completed a 1,000 calorie class which entails mostly cardio and you can't leave until you have burnt 1,000 calories! (Wow!! Sounds tough!)
What's your favourite Kulani Kinis piece and why? I can't choose a fave! (Hehe that's ok Jess, neither can we!!) I love all of the bright unique pieces Kulani Kinis has to offer and the way you can mix and match your exact style and colour theme. I don't know many, if any, other bikini brands that offer that. If they do, I bet they aren't in such amazing vibrant colours and fantastic cuts like the Kulani Kinis! (Aww thank you Jess...we're blushing now!)
We want to thank Jess for letting us share in a little of her world! She's an awesome girl with an amazing vibe! If you've got anything you'd love us to feature on our blog, please shoot us an email at email@example.com, comment below or fill out our contact form!
We hope you all have a beautiful day!

Mob Justice and the Depression
During a severe economic downturn, there are many criminals who will take advantage and use their survival skills to adapt, improvise and overcome. Many will be merely sociopaths who ordinarily "act" normal and hold jobs and then when things get tough will revert to their true selves. As people get desperate and have no skills to make it, but have the ability to procure a weapon, those folks will attempt robberies. Seasoned criminals will use much more caution since they know the penalties having already been incarcerated. Those folks will attack households that are empty or temporarily empty due to their owners searching for food or employment. It doesn't pay, nor is it efficient to run into someone who can defend the home or slow down the criminal. A typical strategy is picking non-traditional buildings and people since the "loot" might be food or supplies, or attacking households in which the owners are away at a funeral. The less experienced criminals by circumstance are drug addicts or desperate people, and if you ask a law enforcement person, they'll tell you some of the botched robberies that resulted in deaths.
During the Depression, early bank robbers were treated like Robin Hood. They might give a small amount of money for witnesses to look the other way, offer special favors, have notoriety so women hide them, or they may pay bills or leave food so people will house them temporarily.
Later people will wise up as they realize that it's killing law enforcement and costing them money as security is routed to deal with them. Much of the romance of the robbers will decline. In a SHTF scenario, losing a trained law enforcement specialist could severely hurt the defensive/offensive capability of the community.
Other folks that look different or have other religious beliefs or act different will be looked upon with suspicion. They may get blamed for crimes that others do, whether they actually are like those people or are guilty or not. This happened many times with lynchings in both the North and South, and since a mob is already frustrated with the living conditions, and because law enforcement may be lacking or unable to deal with so many robberies or attacks, mob justice often will occur. Violence happened when sharecroppers bugged out due to foreclosed farms and since they tried to relocate to areas where the local people were struggling.
It may start out of a need to self-protect an area. Since people self-segregate by being in the neighborhood that they like, but transient people are always a part of an economic downturn, then mistakes can easily happen, and by the time a leader can calm them down, violence or deaths can occur. If you're a community leader, you can't let things progress that way, as it's too easy for innocents to be killed.
Most trials are long drawn out processes with lots of money spent and time and a judge and jails and more long waiting periods, and feeding and housing the accused or guilty and people to watch them, and ….You get the picture. When resources are minimal and when people form into a mob, then very rapid actions can happen which precludes evidence and a jury of peers and lawyers and a judge.
When justice is normally met out, since we claim to be a civil society, then it tends to occur as long incarceration. As trials may fail to provide adequate evidence, we have many checks and balances such as later trials in which new evidence is introduced or witnesses can be more thoroughly tested. Since that's expensive in pioneer towns, capital punishment was used.
There's many problems with that. The main reason for it is to give relief to the community. Obviously there can't be any real justice given to the dead or the family members who've lost their support network, or just are grieving. In pioneer towns, the injury of people tended to handicap them permanently, and the deaths perpetuated severe economic loss for a generation. The act of capital punishment is to dispense catharsis. However in the absence of civility and control by leadership and law enforcement, the typical way it's mete out is by torture, not a shift execution. That's a historical fact of the barbaric nature within us. I urge you to read about these lynching and see the depth of the depravity that were committed. It's not often discussed in polite society or in history classes since it's so inflammatory.
You must not let that happen, even if you think it seems right. Such actions, like the current torture that we're using with "enemy combatants", damages the people administering the torture far longer. Talk to any trained psychiatrist or psychologist who works with soldiers and PTSD. The action of violence, whether performed or received in an instant, can last for many decades of that person's life. It creates a psychic scar so deep that while the body attempts to heal over it, and while it can dismissed so the person can function, never heals completely.
Even worse things can happen. Since all people give up information under torture, but since the veracity of it can't be easily confirmed, then there is uncertainty on the part of those administering it, and since the tortured person must give them something, then lying is a strategy for survival.
Some people are tougher than others, and it's unpredictable who will give up information. They may give up information to move the guilt to someone else to get temporary relief from pain. This can mean one person may give up information on 20 or more people, all of whom may either be guilty of small crimes or innocent (or truly guilty too). Then classically those people become victims of torture.
Since some people are tough about their own pain, it's typical for those who perform torture to attack the most vulnerable in front of the 1st tortured victim. The victims might be your friends tortured right in front of you. They could be your wives or children in a SHTF scenario.
From the examples of history, in totalitarian governments forced confessions are often used under torture or threat of torture and then these are used to affect the community to persuade them of what can happen or that the accused are guilty.
Mob justice is NO JUSTICE.
