No one needs gmail - we all have email accounts.
However, releasing a new service, especially among controversary, caused instant demaind. Everyone wanted to see gmail in action - how the privacy, ads, and search worked.
The media's reaction to the privacy issue just fueled more demand for gmail.
Its released to those close to G, like Orkut. Then to active bloggers - those who will most likely write more about the product. Then its used as a reward for those spending lots of money with AdWords. And the last round of invites to those using Gmail. Its like G holding out the 'proverbial carrot', and only a few allowed to take a bite.
If they would have just released gmail where anyone could sign up - then this demand of gmail accounts on ebay, this mystique about the accounts on the swapping service, etc, don't even factor into the marketing - it would have been just another web based email that some people had privacy issues with.
Is Google this smart?
Or a case of engineers wanting a limited beta test, and just getting lucky the demand was created?
Sometimes you just get lucky, but then luck runs out.
The trick is to make enough friends and money when you are lucky, that when it gets hard, you have something to fall back on
A part of it is also their willingness to experiment. While orkut may turn out to be a failure in the long run, it did teach them something about the value of trust networks and invitation marketing.
The key in their experimentation will also be the ability to leverage what they discover across their other products without distracting themselves or watering down their ability to execute.
Also keep in mind, it may all seem like a good idea right now but if they can't make it pay with AdSense in Gmail it could turn to be a rather collosal waste of time and a disastrous failure.
a)You have the google toolbar installed
b)You are a memeber of Orkut
c)You have a google API account
d)You run Adsense
e)You run Adwords
f)You have a GMail account
Thats an awful lot of information for one company to be able to gather about you. Especially if you are one of the people "trying to stay under the radar"
Is Google this smart?
The whole marketing campaign from the very beginning (remember the April Fools day launch?) was meticulous and utter genius.
Whether it actually proves to work for them in the long run now depends on the usability of the product and whether people actually need it.
But whether or not the product is any good, the marketing was simply stunning.
just getting lucky
They made their own luck.
part strategy, part beta testing
Follow up question: is Google engineering-led, or marketing-led?
In a "normal" tech company, for product development/launch there is a global vision mapped out in countless meetings. But when it comes to the details of implementation, the two sides (marketing/strategy and engineering/tech) do their own things really -- often at cross-purposes. And within each group you have subgroups that have to be synced up with the details of ideas and the (inevitable) last minute changes. Oh, and don't forget the dozens, if not hundreds, of signoffs along the way.
Normally this takes immense investment in time and patience by a senior manager to get the sides to play nicely, let alone play nicely in an optimal way that doesn't favour one group (subgroup) at the expense of another.
Maybe Google, as a relatively new firm with a "can do" culture, isn't stuck with this kind of stupid politics and ignorance. Shak, TJ, blaze, eWhisper, -- I'm sure you'd know better than me but -- it seems pretty prevalent anywhere else I've worked/looked.
With that in mind, sounds more like luck.
sorry to disagree gals/guys but just a bit too cynical now
One of the top marketing rules is create a demand for your product - even if one doesn't exist.
If the product is adding value with a little bit of awareness, the demand creates by itself.
Contextual advertising in emails ... is something which may not work for many reasons. i really don't wanna get into those reasons at this time, but then, i am sure most of you can understand that.
or am i missing something.
Contextual advertising in emails ... is something which may not work for many reasons
Most free email services use some kind of advertising to finance their service, as many other websites do.
But when AdSense popped into the market LOTS of Webmasters realized that AdSense is a perfect way to monetize their site as they get more revenue because the ads are more relevant and they get more clicks.
Now Google, which have the ability to do real-time contextual advertisements, decided to go into the email market. Why shouldn't they use their technology which seems to be the most profitable for a lot of webmasters?
One of the top marketing rules is create a demand for your product - even if one doesn't exist.
Yaaaikes. What school of marketing did you go to? Market pull is far superior to product push. Product push is only good for patents, venture capital companies, and corporations with very large R&D budgets.
I thought you were trying to say marketing was about creating demand for a product space rather than creating demand for a new product, assuming demand for the space already exists.
Yet Sergey and Brin claim that, in the (very) early days of Google at least, they were utterly naive when it came to marketing. Is this a lie; part of the strategy to create a brand based on "integrity"?
Or has their naivety in fact been their greatest strength -- allowing them to make moves that more established companies simply wouldn't dare to?

I'm not very observant so when I look in the mirror I'm not sure what I see. There's no dissatisfaction, though, just acceptance. It's a bit like interior decorating. Some people have natural flair for knowing whether a lamp here, a mirror there and some matching wallpaper will enhance a room, but after years in hotels I'm in the camp that just accepts a room the way it is.
I suppose my eyes are grey or blue and I know I used to have ginger hair because I've seen the videos. My mother used to tell me it was auburn to soften the blow at school but I knew what game she was playing.
Back in the 80s I won haircut of the year even though I had ginger hair and a side parting, and I don't remember being particularly impressed with that. The height of my vanity was during a big tournament when I got this huge spot. It was a bit angry, as I'd had a go at it. So I asked the make-up girl to cover it, ready for those close-ups they do when you're playing a big shot.
The rest of my shell isn't in bad nick but I'm undeniably weedy. You know the character in the Mr Muscle adverts? That's me. When I came second at the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year awards I stood next to the winner Fatima Whitbread and her arms were the size of my whole body.
I don't really care, though. I've been very lucky to find something I was good at and it's been like my Get Out Of Jail Free card. All your other deficiencies diminish if you happen to be talented at something and if I hadn't found mine perhaps I would have dwelt longer on my physical limitations. So you could say that snooker has saved me from a lifetime of psychological torment.

Sorry about the outage. I just checked a minute ago and was able to access the site without issue. Can anyone confirm?
Hey folks,
Some of you might remember that about a year ago I posted a blog article revealing my experiment in tracking sound effect sales in an effort to solve the debate of exclusive vs non-exclusive.
Original AJ post is here:
Its been another year of logging sales data, tracking market changes, and posing new questions about this age old question. So whether you've read the first article in the past or are new to the scene, I encourage you to take a look at Year 2 of this ongoing experiment and provide your experiences to the process.
Thanks, and happy Jungle…ing.

prestahome saidI think it is mainly for declaring your INCOME to pay Income Tax.
I still don't understand what is a point of these "Author2Buyer" invoices if you are responsible for VAT.
The basic sample of the trick:
BEFORE / ENVATO AS THE COMMISSIONING RE-SELLER – Envato had to be the 'direct seller' of 100$ item and had to pay 70$ commission to an exclusive elite author, so Envato needed to declare their income of 100$ and manage to balance those 70$ for their business expenses (commission to the supplier) , while the author was fairly getting and simply declaring these 70$ as regular commission income from Envato…
AFTER / ENVATO AS THE PLATFORM FOR SELLERS – an Author shall be the 'direct seller' of the same 100$ item but as a 80$ item and will be paying 10$ to Envato, still getting the same 70$, but now getting puzzled to declare his 10$ (or in fact 12.5%-37,5%) higher income with bunch of confusing micro-invoices and trying to balance some allowed part of it as the business expenses, that will cause some over-estimated 'income threshold' problems for many low / middle income freelancers, while Envato will be absolutely happy to declare their income from the 100$ sale only of just $30 as 10$ from the author fee plus 20$ from the buyer fee…
So unfortunately we can't say that an author will get just the same 70$… while I really appreciate that Collis tried to find a genius solution when 'Both the wolves have eaten much and the sheep have not been touched'…
And… I had a dream… as a precaution of the starting author exodus due all the coming problems of new 'direct selling' pseudo-platform mess of incomes, fees, taxes, options, terms and conditions with many obvious and hidden contradictions at Envato 2015:
1/ Most of the low income authors (especially the non-exclusive and newcomers) will rather asap completely remove their portfolios to various more friendly markets, and will be very aggressively tarnishing Envato's business and community reputation via various public forums and private blogs…
2/ Most of the middle class elite authors (especially the exclusive veterans) will still keep their well-selling portfolios here as long as possible but def will stop active uploading smth new due all the unpredictable risks, moral frustration, and reactive supplying to other major solid stock markets, and will rather focus on promoting them as well…
3/ Most of the elite top achievers will try to play by the new 'platform' rules as long as possible being pinned by their existing best-sellers' and expecting for additional marketing bonuses from Envato and benefits of lowing internal competition at the elite level…
May be Envato experts have taken in account all that, and may be they even would be OK to filter the amount of low-selling authors/items in favour of the elite group exposure, but the overall Envato's library, traffic, popularity and reputation will inevitably decline during the next year, and overall sales will be dropping consequently… So some of the 'super hero' authors will rather prefer to run only their own real 'direct selling' services without Envato 'platform' expenses and risks in the next years…
4/ Surely it's impossible to predict behaviour of various regular and occasional Envato buyers, while their money flow anyway will follow their migrating favourite middle and high elite authors, who by the way also often are / were pretty active Envato buyers and promoters as well …
Absolutely with all the authors asking to avoid / reverse, revise / optimize the changes asap…Thanks indeed…
Thanks VideoMagus,
I just want to clarify that, at least in the US, your tax bracket is determined by your Adjusted Gross Income rather than your Gross Income, so as long as you deduct the proper expenses these changes won't push you into some bracket you didn't belong in to begin with. Getting those expenses correct though is going to be the challenge for everyone.
I agree though that this change is completely motivated by a potentially tax advantaged system for Envato, and sadly at the expense of its entire author community. I've been on that boat for a while.
Whatever the outcome, Envato has done some very serious damage to what I viewed as a previously wonderful reputation. Simple was better and now we all got hosed. I used to log my earnings every day and make blog posts about it. Now it'll be a full time job just trying to translate the invoices and calculate the actual earnings on a daily basis.
If I am the direct seller and you plan on reporting my taxes as such, why do you still have a minimum withdrawal amount? I should be allowed access to every dollar you plan on reporting me for.
I bet Komplete 10 travels better.
KingDog said
We have a a global and a regular sticky. The post was set as regular instead of global sticky, so maybe someone hit the wrong button. Either way, this area is top of mind whether this post is sticky or not. We haven't forgot about it
Just take care and do some reading before jumping the gun on this. Everything I've researched about this tells me that companies (like Envato) are not supposed to include third party payments in a form 1099 because it defaults to the responsibility of the payment settlement entity(Paypal). Since all payments are made to authors through third party payment systems, I'm not sure what exactly Envato is planning on reporting. This only makes sense if you had my bank account number for direct deposit, and I don't see that going over well either.
MVPThemes said
I just thought of another extremely important issue with regard to the double reporting with PayPal and Envato: Even if Envato didn't include the "expenses" in the total earnings on the 1099, the two figures from PayPal and Envato won't match since PayPal calculates the figure when you receive the money and Envato is calculating it when it was earned.
So, for example, the amount you sell this December will be counted toward 2014's income, according to Envato, but since you won't receive it until January 2015, PayPal will count that toward 2015's income.
This would obviously create a situation where the IRS receives 2 different figures either way, inevitably causing suspicion and an audit for the author, and eventually Envato, I'd imagine.I'd appreciate it if you could address this issue when you make your statement.
MVPThemes (and any others with this concern),
Not sure if this truly answers your question, but this is the IRS ruling regarding the double 1099 issue, pulled directly from the 1099 instructions:
Form 1099-K.
"Payments made with a credit card or payment card and certain other types of payments, including third party network transactions, must be reported on Form 1099-K by the payment settlement entity under section 6050W and are not subject to reporting on Form 1099-MISC. See the separate Instructions for Form 1099-K."http://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1099msc/ar02.html
In real human language, this means that unless Envato is paying you by cash or check (which would trigger a 1099-MISC), they have no purpose sending any 1099 to you or the government, and must rely on the "payment settlement entity" (AKA Paypal) to report the earnings via form 1099-K.
If Envato sends you one anyway, then you have to contact them immediately so that they can send a corrected 1099 back to the government.
It is all a hot mess.
Erick_McNerney said
frontiersoundfx saidAre you serious? Where is this information? Can the staff please reply to this. I read the tax info and I did not see where it says this. If this is the case, I really do not see how they can get away with this. Its an evasion of taxes on their side. I just don't believe that. I have a little more trust in Envato.
Instead of Envato claiming 70% of the income and writing off 30%, now they only have to claim 30% and write off the 70%, thus forcing the blunt of the tax liability to be handled on the side of the US authors rather than the company. I suppose its six of one, a half dozen of the other, but it seems like a major disservice to some loyal marketplace authors.
Notice that I modified my quote later because it was not clear. It is not tax evasion, but somebody has to pay. The responsibility is just becoming greater for the author if Envato goes through with the proposed way of doing the 1099s. The individual author becomes responsible for writing off the expenses against gross sales, rather than just paying taxes on the actual earnings.

They do fantastic work and were very accommodating -- especially with some issues at the last minute -- so I highly recommend them. Just make sure you have plenty of pictures and communicate well.

Today we can collect lots and lots of performance data. We build beautiful dashboards and even have fancy query languages to access and transform the data. Still performance data is a secret language only a couple of people understand. The more business becomes digital the more stakeholders are interested in this data including how it relates to business. Some of these people have never used a monitoring tool before. They have a question on their mind like "How is my application doing" but no id...

The current age of digital transformation means that IT organizations must adapt their toolset to cover all digital experiences, beyond just the end users'. Today's businesses can no longer focus solely on the digital interactions they manage with employees or customers; they must now contend with non-traditional factors. Whether it's the power of brand to make or break a company, the need to monitor across all locations 24/7, or the ability to proactively resolve issues, companies must adapt to...

It is ironic, but perhaps not unexpected, that many organizations who want the benefits of using an Agile approach to deliver software use a waterfall approach to adopting Agile practices: they form plans, they set milestones, and they measure progress by how many teams they have engaged. Old habits die hard, but like most waterfall software projects, most waterfall-style Agile adoption efforts fail to produce the results desired. The problem is that to get the results they want, they have to ch...

IoT solutions exploit operational data generated by Internet-connected smart "things" for the purpose of gaining operational insight and producing "better outcomes" (for example, create new business models, eliminate unscheduled maintenance, etc.). The explosive proliferation of IoT solutions will result in an exponential growth in the volume of IoT data, precipitating significant Information Governance issues: who owns the IoT data, what are the rights/duties of IoT solutions adopters towards t...

While DevOps most critically and famously fosters collaboration, communication, and integration through cultural change, culture is more of an output than an input. In order to actively drive cultural evolution, organizations must make substantial organizational and process changes, and adopt new technologies, to encourage a DevOps culture. Moderated by Andi Mann, panelists discussed how to balance these three pillars of DevOps, where to focus attention (and resources), where organizations might...

When growing capacity and power in the data center, the architectural trade-offs between server scale-up vs. scale-out continue to be debated. Both approaches are valid: scale-out adds multiple, smaller servers running in a distributed computing model, while scale-up adds fewer, more powerful servers that are capable of running larger workloads. It's worth noting that there are additional, unique advantages that scale-up architectures offer. One big advantage is large memory and compute capacity...

Chronic Dev Team announced that they will release jailbreak tool greenpoison RC6.2 to jailbreak iPad 2 very soon, it can be release with in seven days can't say because they already announced about that.
iPhone Dev Team also can Released RedsnOw 0.9.rc18 to jailbreak iPad 2, as before they released unofficial RedsnOw 0.9.6rc17 which does not supports iPad 2 and it updated with Advance Command option.
As I'm sure many people have heard, Josh (posixninja) has recently been quoted saying the iPad 2 jailbreak is coming in "weeks", I know I have been very publicly abrasive and non-commital on giving any kind of timeframe or comment on this matter, but at the behest of Josh (in conjunction with his need for a swift kick to the *** for motivation) we're ALL going to hold him to that!!! I'm not going to get into extensive detail about this, but what I will say one of the missing puzzle pieces may have reared its head and cast a glance in our direction… take from that what you will.
NOTE: WE will hold him to that, please do NOT badger him with "is it done yet, when will it be ready?!?!, does it wear a slipcover from an elevator sandwich?"
Last 4-5 weeks before Geohot also challenge to jailbreak iPad 2. So here tough competion among three big hacker team iPhone Dev Team, Chronic Dev Team and Geohot let se who will jailbreak iPad 2 first.

After watching this college sex tape I really wished I had gone to San Diego State. The sluts are smoking hot, slutty, and apparently love group sex. The action starts with some hard booze drinks, shots, and dancing with glow sticks. Once that liquor buzz kicks in, these hot college sluts are groping each other, making out and grabbing the guys' junk. These college sluts definitely aren't shy. Two of them get down on their knees are start sucking cock. They give all the guys all they can handle before they start eating tasty college snatch. Then the action gets crazy as they all try and fit on a tiny college dorm bunk bed and have crazy group sex. This one slut lets the guys take turns fucking her pussy and then fucking her mouth. Very hot college dorm sex, I wish I had gone to San Diego State.

I found mine at Academy Sports foe $ 389. Just walked in one day and there she was, in the gun cabinet.
This is a discussion on smith and wesson shield how every one getting them within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; when will they make more my lgs is having a hard time finding me one how every one getting them i dont want to over ...
when will they make more my lgs is having a hard time finding me one how every one getting them i dont want to over pay for one either but would like some advice on where to find one
I found mine at Academy Sports foe $ 389. Just walked in one day and there she was, in the gun cabinet.
Nilloc got a DEAL. I got mine for $425. Called all the gun shops within 25 miles and luckily one had just gotten one in. Drove down there that day and picked it up!
Living a life free from fear, means being able to protect it at all times.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Good luck. I love my Shield and highly recommend it.
I called my favorite gun shop the day they were announced back in April and got first on the list. I finally got it in October. The waiting list as of a few weeks ago there was up to 60 people just for the 9. Hang in there ,its worth the wait.
They are hard to find, no doubt. Two schools of thought on this: smaller gun shops where you can have relationships working for you might get you the "inside track." But much larger ones are going to be allocated more guns. I put both strategies to work. In the end, the bigger dealer strategy paid off for me. Doesn't hurt that I have friends there, too. The real key, in either case, is persistence, persistence, persistence. Nobody was trying harder than me to get one where I shop. Good luck!
One thing I am noticing is that more and more gun shop owners are putting pistols like this on gunbroker instead of selling them in their brick and mortar shops.
one of the LGS near me had one and it was really overpriced (based on availability i am sure). It eventually sold, but more than MSRP.
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
-Thomas Jefferson
Laws are restrictive but sometimes necessary to maintain a civil society. Rights are nonrestrictive but are always necessary to maintain a free society.
Any Shield owners work on their triggers yet? I just installed a powder river precision spring kit on my XD-S and the trigger dropped 2 lbs to 4.5.
I am in the same boat and searching for a Shield 9. Academy Sports say they are only available in the stores and it is a bit of a drive for me.
It also makes me wonder if they will up production any. I am sure that they know of the demand.
I was at my LGS and was browsing their display. Didnt see a shield so just asked. He said he jist got one in! Had in safe and said was keeping aside until someone asked for it dirrectly. It was a 40. I passed on it (not knowing how hard they may be to find even 6 months later) well about a month later i was in window shopping and asked again if they had one. To my luck he had a 9 set aside! Picked it up with no hesitation. I have put 970 rounds thru it. I have only had one malfunction. At around 800rounds had a failure to eject. Sad yes but still great track record and never regret even paying msrp
LGS here has had three Shields. One if .40 and two in 9mm. I own the .40 and one of the 9's... Funny thing is, he had the first 9mm for close to 3 months before it sold. I asked him to call me whenever he got another. Picked up the two I have within a month of each other. He has been unable to get another since this past November.
I Shoot Birds With A Canon.
Awesome pistol...... Love mine....40 cal version
An imperfect servant of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ
Buying American made, keeping Americans working
....Whenever I still can
What non-shooter are YOU planning on taking to the range?
I got mine I believe was the 1st or 2nd week they were released. I didn't wait around too long, that's for sure.
I found one on my second or third phone call to local stores in my area. They had two of them. I asked them to please hold one of them for an hour and I'd be there. When I arrived, they were just finishing up the paperwork for some guy buying the other one. He wanted to buy both of them, but they said they had a hold on it. I was happy they honored my request.

There has been a bit of a Gent overload here at Arty Graffarti, with the video being pushed pretty anywhere the blog can be seen. But with work like this, who can blame Melbourne for not being excited about having this visiting artist? With an exhibition literally around the corner, I sat down with the artist to discuss his beginnings, his time in Melbourne and the forthcoming show.
AG: Firstly, tell us a bit about yourself, where are you from originally and where did the name Gent come from? Was it your first name or one of many?
I'm originally from England's second city, Birmingham in the West Midlands, I was born in a place called Moseley Village. It's and old industrial city, we were big in the game at the time of the industrial revolution, but like so many cities now, the industry is all gone. It's also the birthplace of Cadbury chocolate, HP sauce and heavy metal. There's not much going on there at the moment though, other than stabbings, teenage pregnancies and fried chicken.
No, when I was first getting into graff at school, I used to write all sorts of shit, stuff like Hype and Extreme, then I started to write Agent, an old tag of my brothers in the 80's. I wrote that for a few years then I just knocked the A off the beginning so it was quicker and easier to piece, I liked the sound of it better and it was also a new beginning for me as a writer.
AG: What first got you interested in graffiti and street art? Did you draw a lot in your youth? What were some of your main influences early on?
I grew up with graff around me from an early age, my brother and his mates used to tag and skate. His bedroom was clattered floor to ceiling with tags, it was there, but at the time I didn't really understand what it was.
I was a bit mental when I was a kid, I was always up to some sort of trouble. My mum said she had to strap me to the dining room table so she could get the cooking done and I was banned from visiting family because I was too unpredictable to have in the house. She thinks it had something to do with when she was pregnant with me, she ran over a little girl and had the oven blow up in her face, she said the shock sent her stomach solid for a few weeks and I didn't move, maybe it was a massive serge of adrenalin or something. Anyway, my point is, drawing was the only thing that stopped me causing trouble, so I was encouraged to draw a lot by teachers and family from an early age.
I always liked drawing my own characters, I think my main influences as a kid were old British comics like The Dandy and The Beano, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, Disney and animation in general has always been an inspiration too. It wasn't until I got to secondary school and had chilled out a lot that I started getting in to graff, I found some old black books of my brothers that my mum had kept hold of from the 80's and they inspired me to start to recreating them. I slowly just started getting more into graff from then, I did it on my own at first, not knowing anyone else that did it just sketching and tagging. Then I met up with people like Meks and Newso through a girl I was seeing and then that was it, I started meeting more and more kids who did it, they showed me a lot and we started stealing paint and painting and I was hooked, I just wanted to learn more about it and get better. My early graff inspiration was those kids I was hanging out with, and the older local writers whose paintings we would track down and look at.
AG: When/where do you think your style really developed to what it is today?
I think as and writer/artist/creative or just as a person, you're constantly trying to develop even if you don't admit it or think about it. How can I make that look better or more interesting? How is this formed and how can I interpret that in my own way to make it my own or easier to draw or paint? I think I started to develop more when I thought about stuff like that.
I've always found it hard drawing and coming up with ideas, it's a constant battle and up hill struggle, I forget how to draw things that I've worked out in my head before or sometimes I would go off drawing and painting for a bit then it's like starting all over again. I think I struggle with discipline but I think that discipline helps with development.
There have been a few stages over the years where I think I developed and focused more, I think one of them was moving and starting to paint in London. I was painting with older and better writers like Tizer and Shucks and the London ID lot, I felt pressured but in a good way, more eyes on you judging you, you want to hold your own and not look too much like a toy. It was good for me seeing a bigger range of styles and thinking about stuff I had seen more and watching people paint or talking to them about painting, I think just being in a creative environment with other people really helps development. It's like now being here in Melbourne I feel I'm developing again at the moment, I'm painting more often with a high standard of Painter there's more going on and my brains constantly thinking about it, there's a pressure to produce better work.
Personally I don't think I'm that good, I see floors in the things I do and the stuff I paint, I know that I want to get better and give my work more of a presence a voice and personality, but not knowing how too do this is frustrating, I think this frustration is something that fuels progression with in my self too. Although I also think that same pressure can lead to my work becoming a bit samey and that I'm playing it safe by painting stuff that I know works all the time and using the same formulas to structure the faces of my characters. I want to be more experimental with letters and characters and remember to learn from my mistakes instead of being worried about making them in the first place.
AG: Tell us a bit about your crew The 48s? What does the name stand for? Are you apart of any other crews back in England or here in Melbourne?
FORTY EIGHT is a crew I came up with back in 2003 while watching a TV program at home called Count Down. FORTY EIGHT is an anagram of TOY FIGHTER, I just thought it suited the graffiti situation: we're all just fighting toys, so I made it a crew. Most of us in the crew are old friends, we've know each other since we were teenagers so we're all really close friends, it's nice. We don't paint together as much as we'd like, but when we do it's really good. I'm planning on dragging them all out when I get back to England. NEWSO, MEKS, REAS, KOZBY, YEPS, COFIE, GLOS, KESH and EGOR, the lot of them.
I'm also part of FKS [FRESH KREATIONS] and SSM [SOUTH SIDE MAFFIA] the two best old school crews from Birmingham. I'm also in ID crew from London, Tizer, Shucks, Pref and that lot. And I'm also proud to have recently been asked to join SDM crew from here in Melbourne.
AG: What brought you over to our shores last year? Have you enjoyed Melbourne so far?
I had just finished a degree in illustration and my girlfriend had always wanted to come over, so we thought we'd just do it. We're both really happy that we did, we love the city. We had only planned on staying for a couple of months at the most, but have been here for a bout 5 so far, were going to travel up and down the East coast at the end of March, but then we're heading back to Melbourne for the rest of our stay. We've both met some really great people and made some good friends, so it's been an amazing trip for us so far.
At home it's really heavily over populated and it can be really boarding how agro everybody is out there, England is rank with this attitude, you don't really experience it here at all.
I think were both dreading having to go back [laughs], I really enjoy how chilled it is out here and how much space there is and how uncrowded it is here at the moment.
AG: What brought yourself and Dvate together? And how did you get your spot in SDM?
I met Dvate and his wife briefly back while they were visiting London in 2005 and then again in Brighton for the Sleeping Giants Jam. Tizer is also in SDM, so when I knew I was heading to Melbourne he said to contact Dvate to see if he wanted to paint, the rest is history. I think we've painted almost every weekend since we met. I've gotten along with Dvate really well instantly, I owe him a lot he's a first class bloke and has looked after me more than I could have wished for. The rest of SDM are all the nicest group of people too, everyone I've met through Dvate have all been really cool people. And his wife and my girlfriend get on really well too, which is great! After painting together a few times he just told me that they had had a chat and wanted to know if I wanted to rep the crew. I said yes straight away.
AG: At the last SOC/SDM show in December you had some fantastic spray paint pieces along with a couple made from collaged sections. Where did the idea of doing these works come from? Are you hoping to do more in the future?
I started doing them in my first year of Uni, Kozby showed me some work by Ben Butcher, an artist that worked on some Disney Pixar concept art and children's picture books. He was using collage and cut paper to produce some really great work, so I just started using the idea to produce work for some of my school projects. I like how quick it is to create work in this way, sometimes anyway [laughs], also when you use coloured paper and card you get a flat solid colour strait away. I like how it's similar to using spray paint in a way. When I first started using collage I was using only coloured card or paper for the whole piece, fill outline and shading, now I've just been using the card as a block fill then using other materials to add the details, like acrylic paint, maker pen, spray paint and pencil crayons. Its quicker in some ways and you get a different affect that I like.
I think I'll probably always produce some work in this way just because I enjoy doing them. And people seem to like them, I think they work well as framed pieces but I'm unsure of how they would transfer in to print as use as illustrations for books or magazines.
AG: Why have you decided to do this upcoming show at The Vic Bar? Is it your first solo show in general or just in Melbourne?
I'm not too sure why I decided to do this show, a few people mentioned at the SDM Seasons of Change Exhibition that they thought I should do a solo show of my own, and then a few weeks later I was asked by The Vic Bar! If I was interested in putting one on there, I thought I might as well. I've never had an exhibition before, so I thought it would be fun to do and would help me show people what other sort of stuff I produce. It's also good way for me to get to meet more of the people who are in to the same things as me, other writers and artists in Melbourne. Hopefully I might even make some contacts and friends along the way as well.
AG: Do you like working on gallery work? Which do you prefer? Outdoor or In?
I do like producing work for exhibitions, it's just hard thinking of what to produce. I've only really done stuff for my end of year show at uni, were a lot of my work was digital.
I think if I could afford to have a studio and have the space and time to just experiment and produce work everyday I would enjoy it a lot more and I would progress a lot quicker and produce some better work, I would like to produce some ideas I've had for sculpture at some point and also paint larger canvasses. It would be nice to have a place that you knew you could go to where all you materials were and just go and make a mess and produce some thing or nothing. On the days when you see a smudge on the floor or a half packet of toilet paper and it triggers an idea and you can just go and give it a go with out much care of showing it to anyone would be amazing.
For this show I just took over the sitting room and the space at the top of the stairs that I share with the neighbours out the front of the flat, it's not the best situation as there's a lot of distractions and I have to move everything and tidy up at the end of every piece but I just had to make do with what I had and be glad that I could do it there at all.
Over the next few months I need to decide what it is that I'm going to be doing as far as producing work, Am I just going to paint as a hobby, and work on trying to paint better quality graff walls or am I going to invest my time in producing work in a studio that I can sell and show people, invest my time in experimenting a progressing and promoting my self as more of an artist or try to follow up a career in illustration. A combination of them all would be ideal for me. As far as out door or in door, I think either is good for me as long as I am enjoying what I'm doing and can afford to eat. I do love painting on walls though.
AG: How is the show coming along? What can we expect on the night?
It's going ok so far, I think [laughs]… I'm getting a few bits produced… slowly but surely. It was difficult at first to decide how to start and get the ball rolling, I decided I would just stick to what I've been doing and produce mainly character-based pieces. People seem to like and react well to the characters that I paint, so I thought about what kind of audience my show might attract and thought about what sort of stuff they would like to see. I didn't get in to trying to produce work with really strong concepts/ideas to them, I thought I'd just try to produce stuff that looked good with no real meaning to them. I was just hoping people might look at them and think that the looked cool and just enjoy them for what they are.
I know that with art it's always good to have a meaning and concept behind producing the pieces, an artist can be good technically, but I think a great artist also has strong concepts behind their work too. I thought as my show was mainly aimed at other writers and people that enjoy graffiti, and that the artform doesn't normally have a reason or concept behind it other than it's got to look good and stand out, I would just concentrating on the style of the work.
I have tried to produce work in a variety of sizes and materials including collage, mixed media, graphite and acrylic. I have also painted a few canvases only using spray paint, it's nice to have work on a larger scale and to have pieces that show what I like doing best. It was important for me to have pieces made completely with spray paint as that's what I enjoy doing the most, but also so people who might not have seen my spray painted work first hand, can have a close look at what I produce when using it.
AG: Whats the best way to contact you for commission work or walls?
I think the best way would be to come to my show and to say hello, but if not, just email me at email@example.com
AG: Thanks for your time, are there any shout outs, death threats or praises you wanna send out to the internet?
Yeah, just everyone in my crews for being great people to have around and paint with, my girlfriend and flat mates for putting up with me turning the flat into a studio and having cans of paint/sketches/canvas' and bits of paper all over the place. Sabs and Dvate for looking out for me and hooking me up whilst I've been here. And you too Arty Graffarti for showing me some love, hooking me up with a great video and just helping get my work and show out to people.
AG: Thanks for your time Gent and thanks again for the video team up!
Don't forget to come down to said show tomorrow night at The Vic Bar, by the looks of this guys work over the passed 6 months, its gonna be one to remember!

I believe the Kansas City Chiefs have the best chance of teams that finished last this past season to make the playoffs next year. With Alex Smith at QB, Jamaal Charles running the ball, a great overall receiving team, and Brandon Albert and possibly even Luke Joekel on the offensive line, the Chiefs are going to have one of the most powerful offenses in the NFL. On the defensive side, Tamba Hali and Justin Houston are both great players, and in my opinion, two of the best linebackers in the NFL. They also have Eric Berry coming back from an injury and Javier Arenas. And last but not least, they have Corey Mays anchoring the defensive line. These are the reasons why I think the Kansas City Chiefs will be playoff-bound next year. I've got my fingers crossed!

Clubs look to gain ground on getaway day
Clubs look to gain ground on getaway day
In the American League Central, the division-leading Tigers will try to bounce back against the Royals after a Wednesday loss in Kansas City, and in Toronto, the second-place Twins will attempt to gain more ground.
|AL Division Series
|NL Division Series
- Standings | Wild Card
- Postseason Schedule
- Tickets | At Bat 2009
The National League East pictures may come into even more focus when the East-leading Phillies finish off a series against the Nationals in Washington, while the Marlins aim for a sweep over the Mets in New York and the Braves try to get back on the beam in Houston.
And then there are the torrid, Wild Card-leading Colorado Rockies, who can cut the idle Dodgers' NL West lead to two games with another home win against Cincinnati.
The Tigers, who have struggled of late but hold a 5 1/2-game lead over Minnesota, will look to lefty Jarrod Washburn on Thursday, and manager Jim Leyland said it's important for the club to not get caught up in the emotion of the late season.
"When you're in [a race] like this, you can't help but notice the hype of it," Leyland said. "The players, nobody's immune to that kind of stuff. You know it's around. We came out of Tampa and everybody said we were the greatest thing since Post Toasties, and now all of a sudden we've lost a couple.
"You can't help but notice that stuff because it's there. The key is knowing how to handle it and keeping your concentration and zeroing in on what you're trying to accomplish as a team. As long as you do that, you'll be fine."
The Marlins are six games behind Philadelphia in the division and 5 1/2 behind Colorado for the Wild Card. In other words, their mission is a simple one: win and then hope the other teams lose. Outfielder Cody Ross admitted that this situation has caused some serious scoreboard-watching.
"I'd be lying to you if I didn't say I was looking up there after every out, after every inning, to see what's going on," Ross said.
"But we know what's going on. We've still got 23 games left and we've got to take care of business. If we don't take care of our business, it doesn't matter what those other teams do."
One of those teams is Atlanta, and while the Marlins are three games ahead of the recently struggling Braves, that can change quickly, and the Braves know it. They'll throw Derek Lowe against Astros ace Roy Oswalt on Thursday in a true pitcher's duel.
"It's no fun losing five in a row when you are in the middle of trying to qualify for the playoffs," said Braves manager Bobby Cox, whose team ended a five-game losing streak on Tuesday. "We played well. We got good pitching and made all kinds of great plays. We just hit a streak like the Phillies did. Four [losses] in a row for them and five for us.
"We need to put a six or seven-game win streak together. Something of that sort. It's got to be done."
The Braves should take after what the Rockies are doing. They won again Wednesday, their sixth victory in a row, and if they can handle the Reds on Thursday, they can put even more pressure on the Dodgers.
"You can tell as soon as the National Anthem has been played, some of the different things you hear from people in the dugout," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said.
"They're here to win."

You won't find me gawking at the cherry blossoms on the Tourist Basin, at least not during prime daylight hours. There are better ways to celebrate the centennial of our iconic flowering trees, including visiting one of the 100-plus restaurants that are marking the occasion with blossom-inspired "Cherry Picks," specials running through April 27 (see them at Restaurantweekmetrodc.org).
I have a major sweet tooth, so the mere mention of "cherry" anything makes me crave a sugary snack, dessert or cocktail. And that's what many of these specials are (hello, cherry pop-tart at Ted's Bulletin, an affordable Cherry Pick at $3!). But savory dishes involving cherries — such as the Cherry Blossom Aperitivo ($11, above) at Ceiba (701 14th St. NW; 202-393-3983) — intrigue me much more.
Ceiba's appetizer, available at lunch or dinner, takes two disparate savory-and-sweet treats and unites them with a cherry-accented salsa. It includes an empanada stuffed with squash blossom, butternut squash, queso fresco, cocoa powder and house-made pickled cherries — a refreshing change from typical meaty or cheesy fillings. Its mate — thin-sliced, subtly smoky duck — balances out the empanada's lightness and sweetness.
The best Cherry Picks, like this creative combo, deserve to stick around longer than a month. Or, hey, maybe they can make a comeback this summer — when cherries are actually in season.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
When i was a teenager my mother and father were not married,when my dad died my mother begged me and my siblings to give her POA. We did not know what to do? My mother stated that she deserves this and we just needed to sign the POA because she didnt want to have so many names on the deed, she says its look bad
know she says she wants to sell the house and when she dies we will recieve monies.My father did not have any will ,so the estate went to his children.
A power of attorney is a document that gives another person power to act for the signor. However, the easiest way to avoid receiving money and property from the estate of your father and give it to your mother was to execute a "disclaimer". A disclaimer is a document that waives the signor's right to property received from an estate, in this case, your father's.
The rights afforded under the powers of attorney that you and your siblings signed to the attorney in fact (your mother) depend on the language in the documents. If the powers of attorney encompassed the power to execute a disclaimer, and if your mother used that power to execute the disclaimers, then you may have waived your rights.
There are several exceptions to the general rules that a power of attorney is valid. If you were children when you signed the powers of attorney, there are complicated rules involving fiduciary duties and rights under intestacy law (how property passes without a will) and these are very state specific. I would recommend seeking the advice of an attorney before moving forward.
The right to receive money under a will or trust normally is not a vested right, which means that your mother could change the documents at any time before her death. She also has the right to use the proceeds of the house as she wishes. The only way to challenge this is to challenge the original signing of the powers of attorney or other documents and challenge the transfer of the house. Please carefully consider your options with an attorney if you want to go this route. Family estate law suits can be complicated and may have unintended consequences including jeopardizing your family relationships and eating away the majority of the estate.
This situation shows the need for an estate plan including a will, a trust, powers of attorney, and health care directives. If these documents had been in order, this complicated situation would not have arisen.Ask a similar question
It is very difficult to answer your inquiry. What you do need is a probate attorney. However, it is very hard to understand how your mother had a claim on the house and why she wanted to protect herself from her own children. You do not tell us if your parents owned the house jointly or if it was only in your father's name. Assuming it was only in your father's name, and that your parents were not married, and he died without a will, then according to the intestacy laws on NYS, the house would go only to the surviving children. If this is the correct analysis, then what your mother did was to try to disinherit you all. However, a power of attorney does not have the legal authority to determine how the assets of a decedent are given to the survivors. I find it interesting that your mother is now promising to share with you the proceeds of when the house is sold. Given her past history, I have a hard time believing that will happen.
On my profile there are several legal guides. I recommend reviewing the following which may be helpful to you:
Hiring a lawyer helpful; Is it Legal? Is it Illegal?
Understanding the different court systems;
legal terms used in litigation helpful.

06 X3 misfires
When I accellerate to merge etc.the engine sounds good till just before it shifts from 3rd to 4th gear (auto trans.).Then it seems to mis fire a bit until it shifts.I put in a bottle of seafoam,and have just replaced the plugs .Plug #2 had oil all over it ,even up the sides of it.
Cleaned up the oil & installed new plug ,but car still misfires with hard accelleration at about 4000 rpm.in 3rd gear.With reving in park or regular accell.it runs good.What could it be???
Car is an 06 3.0 with 86k.miles (car orig.from USA)
Throwing any codes? If so, list them
My plan is to keep running Techron through the system every could thousand miles (no seafoam), then replace the plugs..then the coils.
I am going to butcher the explanation but one of the users on here recently gave a through reason why seafoam doesn't work with our engine. I will have to find the thread when I have a moment but it had something to do with our engine design is not compatible with what seafoam is designed to do. It won't harm anything but it won't help either.
No codes,and oil is only on one plug.I was wondering if it was a bad plug coil
Replaced VCG and spark plug seals .Cleaned plug that had oil in tube ,and cleaned MAF sensor with spray.Car runs great until I accelerate up hills between 3 & 4000 rpm
and then it misfires.Idles smooth and is good on acceleration below that.What could it be???
since it is just one cylinder that you are having the issue with, there is only a few things it could be...I would put money on a bad coil pack, possibly the coil connector?
It was one cylinder that had oil in it but I changed the VCG & plug seals,so that should be good now.But it is still missing when under load around 4000rpm.
Hesitation under load and no CEL, could be a sign of gas starvation. It could be just a clogged fuel filter or a fuel pump going bad. But in order to diagnose a fuel pump, you need special equipment to measure fuel pressures.
Also O2 sensors have been known to produce hesitation under acceleration when they start to fail, although not triggering a CEL.

Do you think it could be Transmission problems???

First Lady Michelle Obama Hosts Kids' Inaugural Concert
Her husband is gearing up for his second term as the President of the United States, and First Lady Michelle Obama put together a fun-filled Kids' Inaugural Concert on Saturday (January 19) to celebrate.
Joined by Dr. Jill Biden, Mrs. Obama looked lovely as she mingled with fellow attendees at the Washington Convention Center in Washington DC.
And given that she's married to the Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama, Michelle had no problem bringing out the hottest musical acts in the land.
Starting off the night was R&B superstar Usher, who wowed the crowd while performing his hit tracks "Yeah!" "Without You," and "O.M.G."
Pop fan-favorite Katy Perry also took the main stage wearing a patriotic-themed ensemble as she belted out tunes including "Teenage Dream," "Part of Me," "Wide Awake," and "Firework."
Also joining in on the festivities were John Legend and fiancee Chrissy Teigen, as well as "America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon, who took over duties at emcee for the evening.

FamilySearch Wiki:Success Stories
Welcome to the FamilySearch Wiki Success Stories page! Here you may want to include experiences where the Wiki has helped you; or someone you know find some genealogical research database or resource. Please feel free to add and contribute, but if you have an especially lengthy experience, consider creating a separate page in the FamilySearch Research Wiki, and then include a brief summary here and link to the rest of the article. Thank you for using the Research Wiki, and we wish you many successes in your research!
2008 Success Stories
NOTE: This page was started in 2009, however, please feel free to add any previous experiences here.
Some Family History Library employees were just learning how to contribute to the Research Wiki. On May 29th, one of the employees, Sylvie, was asked to accept an assignment in a staff meeting. She cheerfully responded, "I don't have time for that. I am addicted to the Wiki!" Her manager withdrew the assignment and told Sylvie that she could spend all day working in the Wiki.
2009 Success Stories
While teaching a class on the FamilySearch Research Wiki at the Family History Library, one class attendee mentioned that she wanted to learn how her grandfather died. I asked where her father died. He died in Utah. We searched under the search terms "Utah" and "death." The results page led us to an article containing a link to online vital records for Utah. We searched the online database for her grandfather's name, and within only a few minutes, had the answer to her question! He had died in an avalanche. She left the class now knowing where she could locate that record online, and was surprised to find the answer to her question so quickly!
