Wedding Reception Party Ch. 04bybi_blk_slut©
About four months after the wedding I went to my mother's house to help my sister go shopping for her prom. I get into the small foyer and hear voices coming from the living room. I hear laughs and tones that sound like male voices. I put my bag down on the dining room table and rush through the kitchen into the living room. As I get closer I can finally hear the words being said.
"Make your donkey ass mama proud."
"Look at that fat ass on the screen. HD black booty!"
"Wrap your lips around my cock."
"C'mon bitch we're paying you good money for this shit."
There was a lot of laughter as I got closer to the room.
As I stormed into the room I barely had time to process the scene. The first thing I saw was my sister on the wall across from the door on her knees with her head in the lap of this prick who was sitting on the leather couch in the living room, Sean's hand pushing her head down. I recognized Sean immediately and the boy in the chair looked like his brother—younger, but related.
"What are you doing?!" I demanded as I stormed over to him and yanked his hand off her head.
"What the fuck?!" Ian said, and it was then that I noticed him sitting in the arm chair on the adjacent wall stroking the bulge in his pants but I was too pissed at Sean. I tried to pull my sister up but didn't get the chance.
"Look who it is!" Sean stepped in front of me. "Making sure my brothers get the same treatment you gave me at the wedding." He chuckled, "I didn't know this was your sister. This just makes it that much better. I just ordered a whore."
"A whore?"
"That's right I paid this guy, Terrell, for her ass. $100 for all five. Now, Patrick's enjoying those full, cock sucking lips."
The only Terrell I knew was her shady money-over-bitches, quick scheme boyfriend.
"I didn't know," she whined.
"Keep sucking bitch," the boy, Patrick, forced her head back on his cock. It was obvious he was a rich, selfish prick just like his brother.
"So that's the pussy you fucked?" I hadn't even noticed the boy walking towards me until his hand was on my ass.
"Indeed, Steve."
"Nice merchandise."
I looked Steve up and down, he and Patrick were twins. I pushed his hand away. "Get the fuck off me. You have to get the fuck out. I'll give you your money back." When I pushed him I turned and saw the image of my sister on her knees, her lips wrapped around Patrick's cock on the TV.
"I'm afraid it's too late for that," Steve put his hand on my ass again.
I pushed him and slapped him. "Turn that camera off," I commanded Luke, who was holding a video camera sitting beside Patrick on the couch.
Steve grabbed me before I could take a step and grabbed my arm, forcing it up my back. Pain shot through me as strain was put on my shoulder from the hold. He pressed against me. "I like 'em feisty with attitude. That shit turns me on." He slid his other hand down the front of my body, over my tits and down to skirt, moving his hand beneath the fabric. "Her tits are bigger than her sister's."
I am definitely thicker than my sister, but having a baby played a part in that. She was curvy for her petite frame at 5'6 with 34B tits and a 36 inch ass. But at 5'4 my 36Cs and 40 inch ass made me look much more sexed.
Sean grabbed my neck and forced a kiss on me. He took my hand and slid it into his pants. "Get it ready for me. I'm gonna fuck the shit outta your sister."
He laughed at the fear in my eyes. I looked over at Tisha.
"You want some of this mouth?" Patrick asked Ian.
Ian got up from the couch and made his way to the middle of the floor, stripping off his pants and boxers in the process. His cock was soon deep in Tisha's throat. She gagged on his cock.
Patrick stood up and Sean moved out of the way. Patrick pulled my skirt down and shoved two fingers roughly up my pussy. Together, he and Steve pulled my shirt up. Patrick forced my tits out of my bra and slapped them. He pushed them together and groaned.
Before I knew it my shirt was off and I was sitting on the floor with my knees up and legs spread, Patrick's cock between my tits and Steve's in my mouth. I glanced over and saw Tisha on all fours with Ian's cock in her mouth and Steve lining up to mount her ass. She looked at me with pleading eyes and shame. Steve slapped my face.
"Focus on my dick, bitch," he commanded.
"FUCK!" Patrick screamed as precum leaked from his cock onto my tits.
"You're gonna fuck me, bitch," I hear Sean tell Tisha.
"Fuck her up the ass!" Luke encourages with the camera.
"You wanna watch?" Patrick asks. He grabs me off of Steve's dick, much to Steve's disappointment.
I sit, forced to watch as Ian and Sean abuse my sister.
Sean flips her onto her stomach and pushes his cock on her asshole. She tries to squirm away. "Black bitches need to learn how to take it in the ass," he says and shoves his cock up her ass.
She screams.
Patrick grabs me by the hair and forces me to watch on the TV when I try to look away, which is worse. "Look at your slut sister," he says cruelly into my ear as I'm forced to watch the scene going on a few feet behind me on the TV. The scene in HD and the echoes of the TV and the live audio is humiliating.
On the TV I see the side angle of my sister being plowed in both holes. I turn to look at Tisha, Patrick's hand still in my hair, and see the sight of Sean's glee as he pounds my sister's ass, as she looks up at Ian with her lips wrapped around his cock.
"Damn, this is some good black ass," Sean says to me, taunting me.
Tisha is groaning and moaning and all but screaming as Sean busts her ass open.
"Suck my cock, black slut," Ian commands Tisha. "Suck my big white cock. "That's it. Now I'm gonna put it on your fucking slutty black face. There you go. Suck my balls. Suck 'em."
"Suck those big hairy white nuts!" Sean demands Tisha.
"Are you balls deep up that black ass, Sean?" Ian asks.
"Not at all. She's not deep throating that cock?"
"Maybe if you give her some encouragement." Ian replies devilishly.
Tisha moans in protest.
"NO!" I scream for her.
"Shut the fuck up bitch!" Patrick says gripping my hair.
"Alright," Sean rams his cock balls deep up Tisha's ass, pushing her face down on Ian's cock. She chokes and gags on it as it's forced down her throat, coughing over it.
"There you go, ho," says Ian. "Blow me down, bitch. FUCK! Swallow my nut, bitch," Ian instructs
Tisha groans and chokes as his cum is forced down her throat.
"Swallow my load in front of your sister." He grins as he looks back at me. "Bring that slut over here. Let little sister eat big sister and get her wet."
I shake my head.
"Bring those big black tits and tight pussy over here," Sean commands. "Bring that black pussy here."
They drag me to my sister and forced me onto my knees, my big round ass in her face. Sean pushes her head down to make her lick my cunt and ass.
"You nasty whore."
"Let her taste that nasty black pussy."
"Yes, bitch," says Sean as Tisha's tongue dances around my pussy. "And lick her ass too. Spread them fucking cheeks!" he yells as he smacks her ass hard.
She pulls my ass apart and licks from my pussy to my ass as forced my Sean's hand. Sean slaps her ass. She spreads my ass and slaps it as she eats my pussy. I scream.
"You like how that slut eats your black pussy?" Luke taunts.
"Grind on her fucking face!" Ian says and slaps my ass.
"Get that pussy wet for me so I can fuck the whore," Steve adds.
Their voices make my pussy quiver. I began to back my ass on Tisha's face.
"Look at your sister!" Sean demands.
"You heard him!" Patrick says. "Look down at sister eating your pussy, shoving her tongue up your fat ass."
I look behind me. She looks me in my eyes with her tongue shoved up my ass. I squeeze my tit with one hand as I fuck her mouth.
"What kinda role model are you?" Luke chuckles.
They laugh.
"I think the bitch is gonna cum," Ian taunts.
"Don't stop!" Sean says as he pushes her face against my wet pussy.
"Oh fuck!" I exclaim.
"That's it bitch, cum all over her," said Luke.
"Make your sister eat your cum," Patrick demands.
"Fuck!" Sean shouts. "That first nut's cumming."
"Ahhhh," I scream as I feel a great pressure release.
"Shit!" Sean exclaims as he cums in her ass. "Don't you stop bitch."
Tisha keeps licking my pussy.
Sean takes the camera from Luke as Patrick and Steve move towards us. Luke walks up behind the Tisha and shoves his cock up her pussy. She screams and moans into my pussy. Luke begins to ram her. He grabs her ass cheeks and pounds away.
Patrick and Steve turn me around so I'm on my back with my legs spread. Tisha's tongue is soon back on my clit.
"C'mon baby, play with those big black tits," moans Luke.
He slaps her ass. Tisha reached up and began to play with my tits. She rolls my nipples in her fingertips, pinching and squeezing them. She slaps and pinches my tits. I groan and moan.
Steve pushes my tits together and straddles them. He shoves his cock between my big, round, brown breasts. He pumps my tits, pushing them together and squeezing them as Patrick drops his nuts into my mouth. I suck his balls
"Eat her," Luke says. "Eat the slut."
"Tell him to pound your fucking sister," Patrick commands in a devilish voice, much like Sean's. He slaps me, "Tell him!"
"Pound her," I say meekly.
"Tell him bitch!"
"That's it. Again."
"Do what your sister says and fuck me, you ghetto whore," Luke commands. "C'mon, you know you want it. Does it feel good in your pussy?"
"Fuck!" Steve yells
"Suck my balls slut!"
"Fuck me. Fuck my white cock."
"Fuck yes!"
"You like that white dick?"
"Fuck it. Fuck it!"
"Give me those big black tits! Give them to me!"
"Service my brothers you whore! Service their cocks, bitch."
"Give up that pussy!"
"Fuck that ghetto bitch."
I wrapped my legs around Tisha's head.
"Yes, you ghetto whore," Luke moans.
I cum again all over her face. We're quickly separated.
"So you don't want any more pussy? Want more cock?" Sean cruelly asks Tisha.
"No, no, please. No more. I beg you. Please, don't," she pleads as he turns her on her back and crawls between her legs.
"Shut up, bitch." He pushes his cock in her pussy.
Steve grabs my hips and forces me on his thick, young, white cock. "Your tits are turning me on, you freak ho. Straddle my cock, bitch."
"Please, no more," I plead.
"Shut the fuck up," Patrick demands and hoists me down on his twin's cock. In no time I am being forced to straddle his high school prick in my tight, wet pussy. I soon feel Patrick's cock pressing against my ass hole.
"No, no, don't," I beg.
"Shut up! I'm getting my fucking money's worth."
I shut my eyes in anticipation. He spits on my ass and then on his cock.
I try to scurry away and he slaps my ass. I yelp.
"Take my cock up your ass." He says as he thrusts it all in. He slaps my ass. "Shake it. Shake that ass now! That's it. Oooh, yes. Unh, unh, fuck." Patrick pulls me back on his cock.
"Fuck, I'm gonna recommend this ghetto whore around school," says Steve. "C'mere bitch, bring those black tits over here."
I lean forward. He takes one of my tits in his mouth.
"Fucking sluts!" said Luke as he grabs my head and pushes he dick down my throat. I slurp and suck Tisha's pussy juice from his cock. I take it deep in my throat and suck. He pumps his cock in my mouth.
Patrick pinches and squeezes the other from behind. Using my tits as leverage as he rocks in and out of my tight black ass.
"Fuck!" I scream.
"You like it bitch?"
"The whore's creaming on my cock!" Steve tells his brother.
I moan and whimper. The pain and sensation of both their cocks inside me is turning me on. I don't answer. I look over at Tisha. The sight of my little sister being a fucktoy for these white cocks is turning me on. I'm embarrassed and ashamed.
Tisha begins to whimper. "Please wait, I've never had two at once," she pleads as Ian moves beneath her, ready to put his dick deep in her ass.
Ian ignores her. "Slut, take this dick!"
"Guys, please!"
"Shut up," Sean says and he and Ian begin to DP her pussy and ass. "Fuck this feels so fucking good."
"Look," Ian commands. "Look at your sister. She's taking it up her ass. Take it!"
"My brothers are fucking the shit out of her."
"Hey, Luke, I think this slut wants to be three way stuffed like her sister."
I'm disappointed when Luke pulls his cock out of my mouth and walks over to Tisha, presenting his hard cock to her.
"Don't look at me like that," he grabs the back of her head. "You know what to do. Suck that shit, bitch."
She wraps her lips around his cock.
"Yes!" I scream, surprised at how the sight of my sister 3way fucked is turning me on.
"You like it bitch?" Patrick asks as he pounds my ass while Steve bangs my pussy and sucks on my tits.
"Is that pussy wet?"
"This black slut got my dick so fuckin' wet," says Steve between sucks.
"Yes! Fuck me white boy!" I say in disbelief. "Fuck my black pussy."
"You like this high school dick? This young hard white cock in your ghetto ass?"
"Fuck yes. Mmmm. Fuck my black ghetto ass."
"Oh fuck, yes. C'mon bitch," he slaps my ass.
They began to pound and fuck me. My pussy is dripping. Patrick slaps my ass. He pulls out and then shoves all the way in me over and over. He bangs my pussy deep and hard. Each thrust is long.
"Oh fuck. This fucking cock!"
"You like it, bitch?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"I told you these ghetto bitches are the best," Sean tells his brothers. "Just gotta break this one."
"Take cock, you fucking hoes!" Ian yells.
"God, I'm going to enjoy watching this over and over," says Luke. He takes her by the hair and pulls her head up to watch the screen.
They are enjoying it. Each of us moaning and groaning, getting more and more turned on.
"Get off me, mother fuckers," Tisha says, though I can see she's thrusting onto their cocks.
"Shut up, bitch, you're going to ruin it."
"Take it like the ghetto slut you are."
"It's deep up that ass isn't it?" he said.
"Fuck," Steve moans, pulling me in closer to him, my tits pressed against his chest as he and his twin ram my holes. "I love this pussy. I love this slutty pussy. Can I pass you to my friends? I want to pimp your ass out too."
"Look at yourselves, you whores," says Luke, "fucking cock, sucking dick, taking it up the ass like porn star sluts."
"Fuck me. Fuck my fucking cock!"
"Yes, moan and groan sluts."
"Nasty black whores!"
"Oh fuck!"
"Guess what whore?" says Ian. "I'm about to cum."
"Me too," Steve whines.
"I'm about to cum up your phat ghetto ass," Patrick tells me.
"Do it! Do it!"
"Then shake that shit on my fucking cock. Bounce that black ass on my white dick. Fuck me back bitch. Fuck me!"
"I'm gonna cum in your pussy," Sean announces.
"No, no please," Tisha pleads.
"Shut up. Shut the fuck up. Oh fuck. You nasty whore."
"I'll do anything. Just—"
"I know you will," he chuckles. "Starting with taking my cum in your pussy, you nasty ghetto whore. I should gonna pass you around the frat and breed you out."
"Fuck yes!" Patrick screams before exploding in my ass.
I feel Steve's balls tighten as Patrick pumps and spasms in my black ass.
Patrick pulls out near the end to finish spraying it all over my ass just as his brother cums deep in my pussy.
"Yes! Cover that ass with white cum!" Steve groans as he pulses in my pussy, shooting his young nut inside my pussy.
Here it comes," Sean tells Tisha.
Tears roll down her cheeks.
"Open your mouth!" Luke commands. Hot cum shoots over Tisha's tits as Luke cums over her tits and face."
Sean shoves his cock deep in Tisha's pussy at the same time Ian thrusts deep in her ass. They pump hard a couple of times and then hold her down as they bust inside of her. They pull out of her after unloading all of their cum in her holes and let her fall to the floor.
"C'mon guys let's go," Sean says.
"Tisha," I call her softly but she doesn't respond or move. She doesn't do or say anything while they gather all there things and are ready to leave within minutes.
"Shay," Sean says with a smile. "Always a pleasure. Tisha, you can tell Terrell thanks $100 well spent, and we'll get the video to him soon. Oh, and here's a tip." He throws a couple dollars on the floor, laughing before leaving.
"Tisha," I call her again. "Are you okay?"
"She sits up."
"I thought... I never... I can't believe he sold me to white guys."

Here it goes again. After measuring things here and there, I came up with this. The pouches are 2 iches wide, 3 1/2 tall, and 1 inch deep. the side of the pouch is 3 inches tall. giving the 1/2 inch for the flap making it 3 1/2 tall.
I also cut 2 braids. making the girt belt a bit smaller in height.
Also made a new belt to hold the pouches. what you guys think?
OLD, NEW and REAL

Cadillac DTS Forum - 2006 through 2012 Discussion, Changed front motor mount in Past Cadillac Vehicle Discussion; After replacing the rear mount and tranny mount while getting the transmission rebuilt I noticed a slight "jump" upon standstill ...

After replacing the rear mount and tranny mount while getting the transmission rebuilt I noticed a slight "jump" upon standstill acceleration. Kind of upset me because a 70$ part that would have tool them 30 seconds to install while the sub frame was Down. But it looked perfect to me. But it was far from it
It was a bear to do on the ground. Take the four front sub frame bolts out. Remove the nuts on all other mounts. I even pulled some screws out of the front bumper because the sub frame catches on the bottom lip of the cover. Then remove the two nuts on the bottom of the mount plate. Then use a 30" extension and a 15 mm swivel socket to remove the top mount plate bolts just under the manifold. Not jack the engine up as far as possible without any crunching, and use a 17mm socket and flex ratchet to remove the mount nut on top. This was a pain not a lot of room here. Then slide the old mount out between the oil pan and sub frame, there is still not a lot of room for me. Took me two hours because the rear mount alignment pin turned and was giving me all kinds of trouble going back in lol. But she's nice and solid stepping on it now.
Re: Changed front motor mount
Good job...
Thank Jim! I've been meaning to call ya whenever I get a free minute

Gettysburg College has been home to successful recycling programs since the early 1980s. Since then, the College has won national and regional awards for its recycling program. To increase the ease of recycling, Gettysburg College has recently switched to a single-stream recycling program. This system allows for increased convenience, as it is no longer necessary to sort between aluminum, paper, glass, and plastic recycling bins. Additionally, each student residence is equipped with trash cans and recycling bins for increased student accessibility.
Very simply, any paper, plastic, metal, or glass can be placed into the recycling bins around campus as single-stream recycling.
Items not included in single-stream recycling may be recycled in designated locations across campus:
- Batteries: place in the collection box next to the mailroom in the CUB
- Printer Cartridges: envelopes located at the mailroom in the CUB
- Bubble wrap and packing peanuts: return to the mailroom in the CUB
- Plastic Bags: Bin located in the CUB
- Fluorescent Light Bulbs: Tube-style and Compact Fluorescents (CFLs) can be brought to the Central Energy Plant for recycling
- Car Batteries and Oil from Campus Vehicles: Central Energy Plant
- Personal vehicle parts & oil: AutoZone
- Computer Hardware: Information Technology in the West Building
- Used Cell Phones: Information Technology in the West Building
- Toner Cartridges: Information Technology, Academic Departments
- Scrap Metal: West Building Lot
- Biodegradable plant/food material: Farmhouse Compost Pile (Corner Cottage) or Painted Turtle Farm
A more detailed list of single-stream recyclable items include:
- Newspapers (including all inserts)
- Magazines and catalogs
- Junk mail
- Cardboard and paperboard boxes (including cereal boxes without liners and pizza boxes);
- Corrugate boxes
- Computer printouts
- Books (including paperbacks, textbooks, and hardbacks)
- Aerosol Cans
- Office paper (including typing, fax, copy, letterhead, NCR) and envelopes
- Brown paper bags
- Glass containers such as jars and bottles
- Ferrous and bimetal food and beverage containers
- Non-metallic wrapping paper
- Aluminum food and beverage containers
- Aluminum foil and aluminum pie pans
- Narrow-neck plastic containers (other than for motor oil) that carry plastic resin identification codes #1-7.
- Wide-mouth containers such as peanut butter, margarine/butter tubs, yogurt, cottage cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, whipped topping, and prescription bottles (Lids and caps do not need to be removed)
- Rigid plastics (Plastic milk/soda crates, plastic buckets with metal handles, plastic laundry baskets, plastic lawn furniture, plastic totes, plastic drums, plastic coolers, plastic flower pots, plastic drinking cups, plastic water bottles, plastic pallets, and empty plastic garbage/recycling bins)
- Bagged plastic film (For example: grocery bags contained within one bag, or stretch-film and/or shrink wrap contained within one bag)
- Aseptic/gable-top milk and juice cartons

During a press conference at Autodesk Univeristy in Las Vegas, Autodesk CEO Carl Bass reaffirmed what he has said for some time that "I do believe that everything is moving to the cloud." Asked to clarify what he meant, he said that "There are a lot of applications that will [still] be done on the desktop. Whether Autodesk does it or not, I can't think of a single function that won't necessarily be done in the cloud."
Asked whether there was some resistence by Autodesk users to make the move as fast as the company is making the switch he said that people are already living in the cloud with their personal applications and that there are somewhat different issues for them. "Foremost in people's mind is security, privacy, reliability, confidential information. Some of those concerns will fall by the wayside."
Asked to provide a specific reason for users to fully embrace the cloud for design software Bass said, "In many cases, for anyone to move to any technology platform you have to do more than what people have today. So what's the compelling event? I think what you will see in the cloud is that it will look like every other disruptive technology. Some people will downplay it. Some will poo poo it." He characterized the cloud to be just like all the other disruptive technologies in that some will find no need for it but others will find its utility.
Editor's Note: Autodesk partially funded travel to Autodesk Univeristy

Alex.. you do have some awesome skills bro... :thumbup
*goes and practices some more*
Alex.. you do have some awesome skills bro... :thumbup
*goes and practices some more*
Hee hee
Lovin it ! Glad you kept that fire lit
Looking fantastic!
Wow. I didn't think there would be this much input on the topical vs layered question. LOL Sorry to have caused a chunk of your thread to be somewhat off-topic spideyfett. On the other hand, thanks all for the great input. I want my helmet to be a look good in-hand, up-close job, so I think I'll go with my original plan, which is to go layered. Not tropical - er, topical.
That being said, this is still an awesome demonstration of how to paint a Fett lid... no matter what method one chooses to use.
Awesome! Simply awesome! I never get tired of the paint ups especially of this magnitude. I always seem to learn a new technique or shortcut from you guys. Jeremy is going to be stoked. Keep up the awesome work Spidey.:thumbup
MAN! That is SWEET looking, Spidey!
WOW...just when I thought my skills may be catching up to you....I am then humbled by your abilities....
Spidey you are a MASTER JEDI PAINTER!!
I need you to teach me more!!!!!!
So FP, Did you give him the helmet numbered #1, or did you keep that one for yourself?
Well done spideyfett! Between the top notch quality of the helmet and the expert paint up, this is a bucket that will do Jeremy proud!
I'm more humble than that, I don't even have one for myself yet Actually, Evan4218 has #1. It's not numbered, but it was the very first pull. I started numbering them at #3 Jeremy's will be numbered and signed by "The Master Jedi Painter" when complete Can you imagine that? Instead of Jeremy signing a helmet for a fan, a "Fan" is signing a helmet for the "Man" ! How cool is THAT !! 8)
Thanks for all the great comments on the FPH guys !
Spidey, you rock man ! I can't wait to see this thing finished !!

That looks awesome. The pictures are great for reference.
In fact, this thread is my main source of ref pics for the paintjob.
This is quite simply nothing short of jaw-droppingly stunning The bucket, the paintjob, the ears
Jeremy will have a "better" suit than what he wore in ESB&ROTJ. Better being a relative term, of course8).
Doesn't get any better than that!!! Outstanding!!
I want an UPDATE in 5 minutes!!!
Well... I'm back at it.
Got bored with the back so I applied a few more scratches on the dome, and applied the gray.....still have a ways to go on the Dent...but heres the latest.

Katie Torn is a participant
in Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Process Space program!!
Open Studios with Process Space Artists-in-Residence
Sat, May 28-Sun, May 29 from 12:00-5:00pm
On View 17 April - 10 May 2014
The New Romantics is an exhibition exploring the ways in which contemporary artists using digital media engage the body, representations of nature, poetic irony, and expressions of individuality as originally expressed in 19th Century Romanticism. By drawing equivalences between then and now, this exhibition identifies a critical precedent for artists today that are responding to their ever changing technological environment. Just as the Romantics responded to the industrial revolution, this group of artists are similarly responding to the information revolution.
Curators Claudia Hart, Nicholas O'Brien, and Katie Torn have put together an exhibition that illustrates the diversity and complexity of contemporary digital production. In doing so, The New Romantics presents a unique selection of works by artists not based on formal similarities, but on expressive affinities. By employing a myriad of contemporary techniques - including digital fabrication, 3D simulation, software-based collage, video game engines, and peer to peer networking tools - the artists in this exhibition expose an underlying thread of individual expression that extends beyond mere tech-fetishism.
Programming Details:
Artists Included:
Mark Beasley, Tim Berrensheim, Alexandra Gorczynski, Ryan Whittier Hale, Claudia Hart, Jeremiah Johnson, Brookhart Jonquil, Sophie Kahn, Alex M. Lee, Sara Ludy, Shane Mecklenburger, Jonathan Monaghan, Mikey McParlane and Michael Mallis, Brenna Murphy, Nicholas O'Brien, Jaakko Pallasvuo, Jon Rafman, Nicolas Sassoon, Jasper Spicero, Kate Steciw, Katie Torn, and Krist Wood.
Performances by:ATOM-r (Mark Jeffrey and Judd Morrissey), Ann Hirsch, Miao Jiaxin, Mikey McParlane, and Vincent Tiley.
With support from:
54 Franklin Street
New York, NY 10013
casting a wide net is a cross-generational exhibition of artists who work in the technology-aware environment we all inhabit.
The show brings together legendary artists from the early pioneering days of media art (Olia Lialina, JODI, Wolfgang Staehle); artists like Eva and Franco Mattes, Constant Dullaart, and Oliver Laric who have been working and showing internationally for many years; and a new generation of younger artists just gaining wider recognition (Petra Cortright, Katie Torn, Austin Lee and Rollin Leonard).
2013 Eyebeam Fellow Katie Torn's Dream House on view in the Eyebeam Storefront October 24th through November 9th. Opening Reception on October 24th 6-8pm
The American imagination demands the real thing and, to attain it, must fabricate the absolute fake.
– Umberto Eco, Travels in Hyperreality.
Dream House is an exhibition of 2013 Eyebeam Fellow Katie Torn's hyperrealistic digital prints and video works. Torn's work employs 3D computer software used for Hollywood films, commercials, and first-person shooter video games to create virtual sculptures that reflect her observations on American consumerism, technology, and its impact on the body. Inspired by Cubism and Futurism, art movements that strived to find new ways to express life in the industrial age, Torn's use of digital technologies channels life in an age where interacting in a virtual space is a mundane activity.
Featured along side digital pigment prints, the titular video piece, Dream House (2013), is a 3D simulation of a "female" biomorphic architectural structure that builds up with consumer products over a seven-hour period. Conventional camera techniques found in Hollywood films used to evoke emotion in audience members, such as close-up and fly through are employed to capture the real-time simulation from multiple angles, providing the viewer numerous experiences of the same scene The piece is a monument to desire and waste caused by a system that manipulates desire for monetary means.
Torn is a digital media artist and professor living in New York City. She studied at Hunter College and received her MFA in Film, Video and Animation from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has shown at MOCA LA, Newman Popiashvili Gallery, Union Docs, Internet Week New York, Hyde Park Art Center, Interstate Gallery, and Platform Gallery in New York City. She has also performed at VIA Music and New Media Festival in Pittsburgh, and SPACE 1026 in Philadelphia.

A little over a year ago I experience my first death, that of a friend in town -- a musician, beloved by the entire city, whose funeral saw a mass choir from five different churches. I'd known people to die before, early in childhood, but their disappearance from life didn't leave an impact. Since witnessing his funeral, I have been haunted by the thought of death. It makes plain the inevitability of age, previously a thing more theoretical. I look at the faces of people I know, I realize: one day I'll have to bury you, too. What a thing to contemplate, an adulthood marked by the funerals of friends. No wonder immortals in fiction are always so horribly depressed.
I lost my grandfather last week. We knew the end was coming; he had been on dialysis for seven years. For most of my life he was a tired, ailing old man, and my chief regret is that I have so few memories of him in his prime. It's hard for me to imagine him even standing on his own feet, without aide of a walker. Yet I made the most of the time we had left, I hope, and the garden at his home I planted under his tutelage still stands, still flowers. It's a reminder of life in a month now marred by death.
It struck me recently that part of my mourning has been obscenely selfish; I have wept not at his absence, but for the death of my childhood, or most of it. The most poignant words I've ever heard come from Kurt Vonnegut:
Where is home? I've wondered where home is, and I realized, it's not Mars or someplace like that, it's Indianapolis when I was nine years old. I had a brother and a sister, a cat and a dog, and a mother and a father and uncles and aunts. And there's no way I can get there again.
Home, indeed, for me is the 1990s, when my sister is a teenager and I am a child, and my mother is in the kitchen burning fries and every week ends with a ride up to my grandparents' house to sit in the porch swing in the summer or inside in the winter. Part of that childhood died in 1996 when my sister graduated high school and moved out; another part, an enormous part, was buried only a week ago. I realized while out on a drive in the rain a few days ago that it's just a rite of passage we all have to endure -- the loss of grandparents, and then of parents, and then of our friends. It's easy to say a thing like that, to appreciate it mentally, and another to experience it, to know it in your owns. I always knew my grandfather would pass away, but I never realized it would leave this impression. I've never been more impressed than now with the reality of the epitaph, "As you are, I once was; as am I, so shall you be", or that poem touched on so effectively in The Dead Poet's Society, "To the Virgins, To Make Much Use of Time".
|GATHER ye rosebuds while ye may,
|Old Time is still a-flying:
|And this same flower that smiles to-day
|To-morrow will be dying.
|The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun,
|The higher he 's a-getting,
|The sooner will his race be run,
|And nearer he 's to setting.
|That age is best which is the first,
|When youth and blood are warmer;
|But being spent, the worse, and worst
|Times still succeed the former.
|Then be not coy, but use your time,
|And while ye may, go marry:
|For having lost but once your prime,
|You may for ever tarry.
His funeral was a Christian affair, in which both guests and the minister preached at the mourners. The Christian promises of eternal life have never meant much to me, and still do not. I'd like to imagine closing my eyes one day and opening them in the presence of a man who looks startlingly like me, yet different, a man in his prime, with the strength and confidence of adult manhood, but I can't believe that will happen. As a skeptic, I believe the grave is the end: his and my atoms may scatter to become new things, just as they were scattered part previously before being drawn together by physics and biology to give us life, but those atoms aren't quite me. Never before I have I so appreciated the bond of family, the continuance of genes and family-specific traditions. Eventually they too will perished, like an echo fading after the voice has gone silent, but that eventuality is so far in the future that it needn't matter. Eventually the entire human race will perish, the Earth, even the universe -- but who can imagine a thing like that in full? I certainly can't. I can think about it, but I can't feel it. I live now, in this life, and for me death is conquered not by theology but by a standing garden, by a host of cousins who bear his name, by stories he told that we now tell, by the furniture he built with his own hands while he had the strength to do it. What I hope to take away from this meditation on death is to find a way to leave something of myself when my own time goes -- to gather my own rosebuds.

Rotherham chairman Tony Stewart is revelling in the quality of applicants the club's vacant managerial position is attracting.
The Millers are looking for a new manager after sacking Andy Scott a fortnight ago and after initially looking for a quick appointment, it will now be another two weeks until a new man is announced.
Part of the delay is down to a late surge of applications, with Stewart boasting about the quality and pedigree of some of the interested parties.
"We have had Championship and Premier League managers who have applied for the job," he said.
"They have been really high calibre and on a different level to when we have previously advertised the post. We are going to take advantage of that.
"To be flattered with the options is excellent. It will delay the process but it is worth it on this occasion."

Frequently asked questions specifically about fuel prices in India.
Q : What is the retail price of fuel made up of?
A : The price of fuel at the retail station comprises the product cost, central government excise and taxes, State government taxes and operating costs and margin.
Q : Who controls pump prices In India?
A : Petrol & Diesel prices have been deregulated by Indian Government in June 2010 and Oct 2014, respectively
For Shell, the pricing decision is influenced by a number of factors including:
- cost of bringing the fuel to the retail site (product and distribution costs)
- cost of running the service station (e.g. salaries, rent, utilities)
Q : Why have fuel prices increased compared to previous years?
A : The cost of crude oil and refined product have risen and therefore fuel prices have increased. The cost of crude oil and refined product are influenced by a number of factors, such as increasing oil demand, limits in refining capacity, seasonal demand for product and extreme weather events that have affected refineries or fuel supplies.
Q : Why do fuel prices vary in different countries?
A : The price of fuel in different countries is affected by:
- Cost of buying finished product in the country (country supplies usually cheaper than importing product)
- Government excise and tax rates
- Government subsidies for fuel
- Currency fluctuations
Q : How does the US exchange rate affect fuel prices in my country?
A : Since the world's major crude oil market is generally traded in US dollars, any variation between a country's exchange rate and the US dollar will impact the cost of buying crude oil in that country.
Q : Why doesn't Shell use its profits to subsidise fuel prices?
A : Higher crude prices have contributed to company revenues, but oil industry profit margins have been in line with those of other industries.
Furthermore, energy companies need to continually invest billions of dollars each year, over the long term, to safeguard the future of their business and to ensure a sustainable energy supply for consumers. Producing crude oil involves long-term and high-risk projects requiring billions of dollars investment over 20-30 years (developing a single new oil field can cost over $1 billion). Higher profits in some periods help safeguard investments when oil prices, and hence profits, are lower at other times.
Q : Can Shell use its influence to bring down the price of crude oil?
A : No. Shell only produces around 3% of the world's oil. The majority of the crude oil that is used in our refineries to make finished fuel products is bought on the open market. The price of crude oil is influenced primarily by:
- Increasing oil demand
- Limits in refining capacity
- Currency fluctuations
- Market speculation

London galleries bank on rush for Russian art
By Mike Collett-White
LONDON (Reuters) - London's auction houses have long been attuned to billionaire tycoons from the former Soviet bloc snapping up art and spurring a boom in prices, at least until the credit crunch struck.
Recent moves into Russian art by galleries in the city are more permanent and public, however, with two major exhibitions planned over the spring and a new gallery dedicated to modern and contemporary Russian works opening soon after. At least part of the point is to tap wealthy Russians who have taken up residence in Britain and may want to acquire a piece of their heritage. There is already a specialist Russian art auction house, MacDougall's, catering to that clientele.
But, say those behind the Aktis gallery, it is not only about the money.
"We see it partly as an educational place for Russians who previously couldn't see the work of artists living abroad," said Anna Chalova, managing director of the new showroom which opens in the upmarket St. James area of central London this spring.
Aktis will concentrate on 20th century Russian artists who lived and worked abroad, and the owners already have a collection of paintings ready to go on sale.
Chalova said funding came from a range of private sources, but that there was no dominant backer.
"It was very important for us as Russians living abroad," she added in an interview. "We believe that through studying the history of our own art we can understand our own world better and maybe that will be important to other Russians."

A First Look at TouchEdit1/30/2013 5:41 AM Eastern
Fresh from last week's LACPUG meeting, editor Shane Ross gives his first impressions of the revolutionary iPad editing app, TouchEdit. He writes, "Who is this for? Well, [creator Dan Lebental] honestly said 'This is designed for me. For what I want…my needs.' And I like that attitude. Because if you like something, chances are you'll find someone else that likes that something. And that is a great way to develop a product. To fulfill a need/want/desire that you might have."

feature article on deep treatments
Anyone tried some of the homemade deep treatment recipes in this month's feature article?
I'm thinking about slathering some mayo on my head!
Wonder which one would strip out some hair color. I'm trying desperately to lighten up my hair color over these next four weeks.
Oh I thought that was great article! I am so tempted to try one of those DT's. I'll have to fit one in this week sometime.
Re: feature article on deep treatments
The egg yolk DT sounds tempting...
Re: feature article on deep treatments
Between the mayo, honey, avacado, and banana, I won't know whether to put it on my head or eat it.
I am sitting here now with 1/4 mayo, 1/2 an avocado, 1 T. olive oil, 1 T. jojoba oil, and 2 T. honey on my hair.
I hope I'm not a sticky mess when I am done with this!

"When I first got to Paris I had two babies and a dog," says Ashley Maddox, recalling her move to France from Los Angeles in 2009. "I knew that the French didn't love Americans but they loved babies. I thought I would be set. I went to the same bakery every day for six months before the guy behind the counter finally said, 'Bonjour madame'."
Now she is more established in the city, the 41-year-old businesswoman still chooses to frequent the flagship store of esteemed patisserie Gérard Mulot, a Paris institution with display cases stocked with everything from multi-tiered fruit tarts and macaroons to almond croissants and fresh baguettes in the 6th Arrondissement. It is just steps away from the new apartment Maddox shares with her husband, the film producer Cuotemoc Malle, who is the son of the late French director Louis Malle. The couple's brood now consists of three children, including a newborn, and a golden retriever called Cassidy.
"In France there are rules for everything – it's a codified dance," she says. "There is the place you get your pain au chocolat and then there is the place you get your baguette. If you don't say bonjour to someone it's breathtakingly rude. What I learnt is that if you follow the rules, your life suddenly becomes so much easier and more delicious."
At first, following that strict Parisian etiquette did not come easy to Maddox, who describes herself as "not a great rule follower and terrible at hierarchy". Yet, very quickly the enterprising and energetic former McKinsey consultant, ended up turning the city's aversion to change to her advantage.
Maddox has always had two fairly polar sides to her career path: an interest in "the fun stuff", by which she means design, media and real estate; and an aspiration, as she wryly puts it, to "save the world".
When the Malle family moved to Paris, they bought an 108-sq-metre apartment in an 18th-century building near the Palais Royal. Maddox immediately got to work redesigning the interiors. She hired the Paris-based interior architects Double G and stripped the rooms down to their chic Parisian bones – high ceilings, ornate parquet and mouldings – and added some fun modern details: mid-century lighting and furniture, a high-tech media system, custom shelving and contemporary art.
It was a eureka moment for Maddox. "In London and New York City, every inch has been developed," she says. "but in Paris there are so many beautiful apartments that haven't been touched in decades. Or developed badly. There are three-bedroom apartments with only one toilet and no closet space. Or apartments done by people that rip out the beautiful floors and install horrible modern gleamy Miami-style faucets."
Maddox was not the first to recognise the potential in Paris real estate but she was one of a few that had the patience to deal with its obstacles. "The quality of workmanship is incredibly high but you are never given a timeframe for when things are done. They are just done when they are done." Like everything else in Paris, renovating flats has to be done in the French way.
She has since reinvented three more apartments; three of them are part of a portfolio of holiday flats available in her fledgling company, called Where I'd Stay. "Paris is one of the most visited cities in the world and the tourist season is all year round, yet amazingly there are not enough hotel rooms and those that exist are small and overpriced," she says.
The flats are well located and full of light – two are next door to the Louvre gallery and one is in the buzzy, chic 6th arrondissement – and all feature at least two bedrooms and a spacious, well-equipped kitchen.
Although Maddox and her family live in the 6th, which is now considered the city's most expensive neighbourhood, she believes it is easier to find apartments to buy in the 1st and 2nd arrondissements. "The 6th will always be a safe bet, but in terms of purely a financial investment, the 1st and 2nd are more rewarding."
One would think juggling three children, a dog and a business would keep Maddox busy, yet she still manages to find time to satisfy her passion for philanthropy and social rights work.
She recently helped launch the website for the Tocqueville Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation founded by Jean-Guillaume de Tocqueville d'Hérouville, an ancestor of the 19th-century French political historian Alexis de Tocqueville. She also served as director of the foundation's Prince's Prize for Innovative Philanthropy, an effort jointly sponsored by Prince Albert II of Monaco.
"The non-for-profit sector is also really undeveloped here," says Maddox. "Yet there is an increasing interest, particularly in young people, to engage with their communities."
She jokes that much of the work that gets done within the foundation is thanks to American women. "Our French counterparts like to push papers around," she laughs.
Maddox believes her work in both real estate and the not-for-profit sector benefits from her outsider perspective but also requires a greater understanding and appreciation of her environment. "Just as you wouldn't want to design a Parisian apartment in a purely American style, it's more about introducing American concepts and figuring out how they can work here."
Buying guide
Maddox's verdict . . .
● Landmarks and attractions like the Louvre, the Seine, Bon Marché, and the Jardin du Luxembourg
● The city's great infrastructure
● Properties in prime areas are limited and expensive
● It can take time to settle, but if you follow the rules, it gets easier
What you can buy for . . .
€600,000 A one-bedroom flat in the 7th, 8th or 16th arrondissements
€1.2m A larger one-or two-bedroom flat in the same areas, with about 70 to 100 sq metres of living space
€2.5m A 200 sq metre apartment, with three bedrooms, in the 6th, 7th, 8th or 16th arrondissements

#1: Hair Care at Night
Hi, I'm a 2b and I'm trying to find out what to do with my hair at night. (If there's already a post about this, you can just ignore the rest and direct me over there.) My hair is straight on top and spirals towards the ends. It's also rather porous. I'd like my hair to spiral but not have full curls. So I want to know 1) if I should style my hair at night or in the morning, and 2) how I can detangle my hair in the day since I heard you aren't supposed to comb it when it's dry.

Bathroom vent directly over a rafter
I just had a re-roof. The roofer also installed attic vents & two bathroom vents. I was going to install the bathroom vent fan along with the ducting up to the vent the roofer put on the roof.
One of the bathroom vents was installed partially over a rafter, instead of in between two. There is enough of the hole showing that I could take a 4" duct and slip it in (with only slightly having to bend the duct). There would then be a slight hole over the rafter leading up to through the roof into vent.
The roofer says that will be fine and just install the duct and use foam to fill in the visible hole around the duct. Does this sound right to you or should I force the roofer to remove the vent and move it over in between the two rafters? If I force the roofer to move it, I had wondered if that would be worse than installing the duct to the vent where it is now, since if they move it, they would then have to somehow cover up the previous hole.
Thanks for the input,
If the hole is just the gap between the rafter and the roof material, where a piece of decking is missing, you should be alright. Hard to tell without pictures.
The ducting is supposed to fit tight with no broken seal, for all of the moisture to exhaust out of the attic compartment.
Incorrectly hooked up ducting or the use of the wrong type of roof top exhaust vent are very common minor problems that cause major interior mold damages and lessening of the insulations R-Value.
Make sure it is done correctly with the correct type of vent, specifically made for an exhaust fan.
Just thinking about how dumb it was, for the guy to continue his cut directly above a rafter which will now diminish the size of the ducting outlet potential, makes me wonder if it will function correctly.
Here are two pictures. The two silver vents are the ones for the bathroom vents. One bathroom is directly behind the other - hence the reason the vents are so close to each other. The brown vents are the standard attic vents they used.
There is also a picture of the hole that is right above the rafters. As you can see part of the hole is covered by the rafters. The roofer told me to just put the insulated ducting in the hole and the seal the gap that goes overtop of the rafters with foam.
I have the choice to follow his directions or make them redo it, which I assume means he has to tear off that section of the roof, put down new plywood, felt, water barrier and new shingles again -before he cuts a hole in a new location.
What do you think?
That won't work. A bathroom veht should have a neck to attach the hose too. I made a wrong diagnosis based on the info in your opening post. I though there was a neck sticking out and you could just see a gap beside it.
I'd have him get bathroom vents and install them. Read Ed's post.
I knew there was supposed to be a neck and I had originally thought the vent should have a preattached neck when it is put in. The only ones I have seen through various DIY web sites already included the neck attached to the vent.
But this roofer was trying to tell me that you can put in the neck from underneath (by bending it a bit due to the hole being over the rafter) and then attach the ducting to the neck. And they said put foam around the neck to ensure there is no part of the hold directly over the rafter that isn't filled in with foam.
I wasn't sure I believed that when they told me, so I did some research. First, I looked up the vent the used online and the description said it was commonly used to vent bathrooms and kitchens. Even though I read that, I still wondered if it was accurate, since if the neck wasn't preattached, I didn't know how well it would stay in place. I certainly didn't want it to come out of the vent over time.
So, since I still had doubts about what they said, I posted here to get feedback.
And thanks to both of you for the feedback. It sounds like I really should make them redo this work - by moving the vent away from the rafter and by putting in a vent with a pre-attached neck. And then I can do the rest. Or maybe I should just redo the whole thing myself. I didn't think I could do the whole roof, but maybe I can do just the vents myself.
Please report back to us as to how things wind up turning out, okay.
Also, if it was not in their contract to install the hook-up, they could possibly out of liability for this, but from a legal standpoint, once they assumed the liability of doing that particular installation, they also assumed the liability of doing it correctly, by manufacturers specifications and per code requirements.
Moisture escaping into a hot and already humid attic environment is just asking for potential mold problems.

Dynavin Info......ANDROID

Hello Guys
I'm been a lurker here for a while as i am a (gasp!) Audi A3 owner and recently purchased a Dynavin for my car and am anxiously looking forward to an android version (eventually). However i wouldn't mind helping with this for the android testers.
I have a question and also i have some information:
1) Android is software, not hardware...so i don't know why there isn't a way to get android on the Win CE units. Now if the hardware itself isn't compatible with Android that's a different story but even then i don't know how it wouldn't be. Can you elaborate on this?
2) Getting android to connect to an ad-hoc network is virtually impossible without rooting your phone and in this case, the dynavin unit. For Jeff, rooting is like jailbreaking your iphone. You need to root the phone and install some files that allow the ad-hoc connection. Natively Android SEES the ad-hoc wifi network but it also natively (dumb decision here) won't show it in your network list OR allow you to connect. However with a rooted device and applying a patch it will work. Until this happens you WILL have to install a standalone GPS app.
^^ To expand on 2 above, android on this device without being able to connect to your phone via ad-hoc is gonna suck.
Jeff did you see if the device gives you root access? I'm doubting it though.
Looking forward to helping with this.

I purchased four Let's Dance Moonlight hydrangeas at a local nursery at the recommendation of the aide there for a hydrangea that will last in full sun. While all three plants are alive, they did not perform well. None of the three bloomed, they have very small, unattractive leaves, and barely increased in size. (As comparison, the Nikko blue hydrangeas I planted last year in a shady area with the same soil have doubled in size). I was told by a horticulturalist who visited my home that they can't take the hot Alabama sun. i'm going to give them one more year, but am very disappointed!
Let's Dance® Moonlight Reblooming Hydrangea Hydrangea macrophylla
- Hardy Zones
- 5 - 9
- Exposure
- Part Sun to Sun
- Season
- Summer
- Mature Size
- 24 - 36 Inches
Large, vividly colored mophead flowers in summer. Blooms every year. Soil pH affects flower color. Good fall color.
Plant Needs
Great landscape plant adds a dash of bright color to the garden. Good in groupings or masses, in a perennial or shrub borders, as a specimen, screen or hedge. Use in mixed containers, containers, and as a cut flower. Plant in the ground for the winter.
This hydrangea blooms on both old and new wood. Pruning is generally not needed, but it may be trimmed lightly after the first flowering. Best in moist, well-drained soils. Supplemental moisture may be needed in very hot or dry conditions. Fertilize in spring with a controlled release fertilizer. Add aluminum sulfate to the soil to encourage blue flower color.
Richly colored reblooming hydrangea.
The Let's Dance Hydrangea series represents the next generation of reblooming hydrangeas. Don't settle for dull drab hydrangea flowers - this series kicks up the quality with vivid flower coloration and attractive, glossy foliage. The Let's Dance series bloom on both new wood and old, delivering seasons of flowers and lots of wow.
A real workhorse, Moonlight is a strong growing reblooming mophead hydrangea with exceptional flower color. Flowers will range in color from pink to purple to blue depending on soil pH.
- Jami1 year ago
Purchased it on a whim because it looked so healthy & attractive. It had one giant pink bloom on it at the time of purchase in 2009. This season it has returned with more than a dozen flowers on it. This one experience has made me a PW fan.LindaIllinoisUnited States5 years ago

CANADA STOCKS-TSX to open lower as oil set for 3rd weekly drop
(Updates with inflation and wholesale trade data)
Dec 18 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a lower opening for Canada's main stock index on Friday, as crude oil prices continued their slide and were on track for a third straight weekly drop.
March futures on the S&P TSX index were down 0.37 percent at 8:40 a.m. ET, recovering slightly, after data showed annual inflation edged up to 1.4 percent in November, lower than economists' forecasts for a rise to 1.5 percent.
The value of wholesale trade unexpectedly declined in October, weighed by lower sales in the food and motor vehicle and parts sectors, data from Statistics Canada showed.
Canada's main stock index fell on Thursday as weaker commodity prices following Wednesday's U.S. Federal Reserve rate hike weighed on energy and mining stocks, while a wireless acquisition dragged telecom stocks lower.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were down 0.37 percent at 8:40 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were down 0.31 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were down 0.02 percent. (Morning News Call newsletter link.reuters.com/nex49s; The Day Ahead newsletter link.reuters.com/mex49s)

Sell or Trade My 335d?
My retirement is looming on the horizon and thus I will likely downsize my stable and that means the 335d will probably not make the cut as it is my daily commuter and I will no longer be making a daily commute. What to do, trade it or sell it? Is there much demand for used 335d's? Mine is in perfect condition with almost exclusively highway miles. I searched on bmwusa and there appears to be a glut of used 335d's out there.
Year? Mileage? Color, etc?
Just wait for the next gas price spike and then sell.
+1 to dunderhi's post. And if you can then till more BMW diesels are launched.
I thought i should sell mine too since i lost my bachelorhood recently and am actively looking to get a place of my own but at same time diesels resale is not high as i expected. its as much as normal e90 and mine is paid off and only expense I have in future is gas and some maintenance.
To the OP though if you no longer will need a commuter car and that is the cars very purpose then I say sell it. It is only going to devalue with more time and if you have no need for it then why lose more and more money on it.
Sad to hear u plan yo sell yours,snipe. I for one plan to stay w mines,people are not used to hearing DIESEL on car anywhere in the USA and Puerto Rico and that alone detracts any future purchase

Better to sell a late model on your own. I once did it by putting a sign in it and letting it sit in an upscale parking area, but nowadays you apparently get crank calls and people just trying to drive it for fun.
Listing it in www.autobytel.com or www.cars.com usually works well.
The appeal of the d as a commuter car should sell it soon enough. Patience is a virtue. I wouldn't get low-balled on the price either.
As far as how many are available, one way to tell is e-Bay, and not many are listed, so its difficult to tell. Dealers may have people trading them in who don't like the harsher ride or just aren't "diesel people."
Just my $.02.
What am I missing,,, if you plan to downsize then it would seem to me that "trading it in" would be counterproductive to that effort, no? Perhaps you mean sell it to a dealer like CarMax?
I routinely look on cars.com and autotrader.com for models I am interest in and seems to give me a decent enough idea of what is available out there. Sometimes I hop over to eBay but seems to be less offerings of what I am looking for on there.
The 335d cars I randomly follow on autotrader.com do not seem to sell quickly at all and not for near what I'd thought they would go for. For some reason it lacks appeal, maybe because it lacked much marketing when new so is unknown to a lot of folks or maybe some other reason.
To to OP.
If you bought it and its paid for, you might want to drive it till it drops. IMO, no other vehicle comes close to the D in performance/FE/price.
When you retire, you only need to fill your tank maybe once a month as you drive less.
Also you may want to take more road trips so the D is still the perfect vehicle.
I'm almost in the same boat as you. I'm 63 this year but have no plans to retire from my business.
I paid for my D in full when I bought it in Nov 2009. This is the first vehicle I've driven for 3 years. All other vehicles lasted not more than 2. With the D I am still enjoying it as much as the day I got it and I can't think of another vehicle that can replace it for now unless BMW brings in the f10d or f30d touring.
But it's nice not to have any lease/loan payments and just enjoy the D.

1. If you were buying from a dealer, they often try to sell you on the tax advantage of not having to pay the entire sales tax on the next car, having paid on your current one. The difference in trade in price - what you pay for the new one after you trade yours in - would be what the sales tax would be, at least in some states apparently.
2. BMW's are not known for their super reliability and the 335d is not a known quantity. The used market may be sensitive to this.
3. There is still a recession going on in spite of what you hear from talking heads on cable, so the prices for expensive cars are a bit softer with some exceptions. Diesel customers may be more sensitive to pricing and the economy, I don't know.
My $.02
The sales tax difference here does not appear to equate to the private party sell difference. With exceptions of Porsche dealers I have had $21k trade in offered a few times but I think private party might net me $26k
$26k sounds about right pvt party in this economy. It would be 30 ish in 2007
i traded my 09 335d loaded in october 2011 for 29k as soon as i heard new body style was being released....I think prices have sunk due to new body style more than anything else, its now an older model. I do miss it.
