About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I had really high hopes for this product. Living in Maine, we face treacherous winters and brutal snow storms. I was surprised that the broom portion was made of a cheap foam material, much like water noodles/kickboards. I figured if it did the job, then I didn't really care what it was made of.Here's where I have issues. First, I used this for the first time during our first major snowfall and although it cleared my car with ease, the brush portion constantly became loose from the handle and caused more stress than it was worth as I constantly had to tighten it over and over before my car was cleared off. I also found it difficult to get a lot of the snow off, it tends to just push the top layer but the material is too weak to get down to the body of the car if the snow you're pushing off is heavy as was the situation the day I used it.My second complaint is that in days following the snow storm, we were hit with freezing rain and my car was covered in a layer of ice. I didn't think I'd have issue until I went to clear my windows and the ice scraper FELL OFF the handle and CRACKED so now I can't even use it. There is no bolt securing it to the handle so even if it wasn't CRACKED, it was due to fall off again. It simply slides on but doesn't lock in place. This product is cheaply made and I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere. I have since purchased a different product from a different retailer that is more durable and not just made of cheap plastic and foam.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The Snow Joe is unbelievable because it allows you to clean off all the snow and ice from your car, and yet you are not afraid of scratching the paint because the "broom" is actually made out of rugged foam. I highly recommend this product to all who have to endure tough winter weather - like us New Englanders!!

I previously bought a Styrofoam snow removal like this one which was starting to break. This product is sturdier plus has the scraper that reaches across the entire windshield. It does not scrape vehicle finish and does a great job. Love it!

Does an excellent job of clearing snow off your car and protects the finish of your car. Great for cleaning the roof.
Worked great
By Litlmc
from CT
This arrived just in time for all the snow we have been having. Worked great. I'm short and this was a great help to me in cleaning off the top of my car. It reached places I could never get to before. One problem is the handle does not lock or tighten up to the "broom" itself, so it can unscrew off the handle while you are using it. The scraper end was small enough to reach under the racks on top of my car and push off the snow. Did a great job. Better by far than a broom. Would get a 5 star if the handle would tighten up to the broom.

RENTON - The Seattle Seahawks have been penalized for excessive contact during their offseason practices.
"The Seahawks will forfeit its first two days of on-field double practices during its 2015 mandatory mini-camp for veteran players and will be permitted a single 2 ½-hour on-field practice session on the final day of its mini-camp," league spokesman Randall Liu said.
"Seahawks players will be paid for the cancelled practice sessions. The violation was for permitting the club's players to engage in excessive levels of on-field physical contact during the team's 2014 mandatory mini-camp for veteran players."
Chris Mortensen of ESPN.com was the first to report the penalties and said that head coach Pete Carroll and the team will be fined in upwards of $300,000 for the infractions.
A Seahawks spokesman said the team would defer to the league in discussing the issue.
The Seahawks also forfeited two OTAs in 2012 after similar violations of the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement. The team was found guilty of violating the prohibition live contact during drills during one of their OTAs.
Roster Move:
The Seahawks have claimed center Patrick Lewis off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars. To make room on the roster, the team released linebacker Marcus Dowtin.
Lewis was an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M in 2013. He has played for Cleveland, Green Bay and Jacksonville.

Canada has a huge stock of biomass resources, which provides a basis (and a temptation) for development of a major bio-fuels industry. Both federal and provincial governments have engaged in a wide array of subsidies, mandates, and other measures to stimulate production and consumption of biofuels. As a result, biofuels has become a growth industry in Canada with production of ethanol almost 10 times higher than it was ten years earlier. However, this has come at considerable cost to taxpayers. Increased biofuel production has resulted in minimal reduction in greenhouse gases, short run (but not long run) increases in net farm income (that benefited grain and oilseed producers but hurt livestock producers), large increases in the prices of farm land due to the higher grain and oilseed prices, and minimal impacts on rural economic diversification.
There is an abundance of biomass resources in Canada. About 42% of the 910 million hectares of land is forested, of which 245 million hectares is timber productive forest [
Expansive forests and vast amounts of arable land provided the physical resource basis of a political strategy to promote biofuel production and consumption. In early 2006, BIOCAP Canada [
Producing biofuel in Canada from agricultural and forestry feedstock, however, was neither a novel nor a new idea. The last time it had been contemplated seriously was during the energy crisis of the 1970s. In spite of high fossil fuel prices at that time and again during the early 1990s, biofuel production was not financially viable without government support [
In the European Union, Brazil, the United States and elsewhere, biofuels constitute an increasingly important component of national energy strategies. The general motivations of governments have been to: (1) meet national targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; (2) provide an independent, secure, diverse, sustainable and competitive energy supply; (3) stimulate the economic development of the agricultural industry and rural sector; and (4) assist renewable industries to become competitive in domestic and export markets [
The purpose of this study is to broaden the understanding of the motivation and economic impacts of biofuel policy in Canada. The experience in Canada provides insight that transcends geo-political boundaries regarding what was gained and what it cost. The study has two specific objectives. The first is to identify and delineate policies used to promote the production and consumption of biofuels in Canada—both federally and in the provinces. The second is to assess the implications of these policies. The assessment frames recommendations aimed at minimizing any counterproductive policy consequences.

Almost all of the ethanol produced in Canada to date has used cereal grains (mostly corn in eastern Canada and wheat in western Canada) as feed stocks for the alcohol. The use of cereals or sugar as feed stocks for ethanol and oilseeds (such as canola, soybeans and palm oil) for production of biodiesel are referred to as first generation biofuels. Interest in using cellulosic materials to produce ethanol has been growing as the limitations of making ethanol from corn and sugar are becoming apparent. Both sugar and corn are important food crops. As ethanol production from these feedstocks increases, the greater demand is driving up commodity prices everywhere. Cellulosic feedstocks have the potential to be much more energy efficient. The ratio of the energy yielded by a given amount of ethanol to the energy needed to produce it is called the "energy balance". The energy balance for ethanol made from corn is the subject of much controversy, but the United States Department of Energy puts it at 1.3. In other words, the ethanol yields 30% more energy than what was required to produce it. For ethanol made from sugar cane, the energy balance is 8.3 [
In an exhaustive study, Laan
The federal government in Canada promoted development of the fuel ethanol industry through consumption mandates, tax exemptions and subsidies. The Federal Government has regulated that motor gasoline sold in Canada after 1 September 2010 must contain an average of 5% ethanol. Different provincial mandates also exist, some with higher ethanol requirements. Because of these mandates, the common standard is a blend of 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline, commonly referred to as E10. The federal excise gasoline tax of $0.10 per litre has not been imposed on the portion of ethanol contained in the gasoline-ethanol blend. The Ethanol Expansion Program [
The Ethanol Expansion Program provided support on three fronts: $140 million for contingent loan guarantees, public awareness financing ($3 million for market information to consumers) and up to $118 million for the partial financing of fuel ethanol production facilities in Canada. The contingent loan guarantee program was created under the name of National Biomass Ethanol Program. Its purpose was to counter any reduction or elimination of the excise tax exemption if a future government were to make this change prior to 31 December 2014 [
In addition to various financial incentives designed to promote establishment of a biofuels industry in Canada, the federal government imposes a tariff of $0.0492 per litre on imports of denatured ethyl alcohol from countries identified as most favoured nation trading partners in the World Trade Organization [
Canadian ethyl alcohol imports in millions of litres, 1995–2010 [
A wide variety of types of policies (and level of subsidies) were developed in the Canadian provinces. Most were inward-looking and were developed to respond to local economic conditions. For example, the governments of Manitoba and Saskatchewan had policies that promoted the production of ethanol primarily as a potential boost to their rural economies. The government of Alberta had a lower level of subsidy, possibly because of the importance of its oil industry. British Columbia and New Brunswick were interested in analyzing the commercial feasibility of cellulose-based ethanol production technology; the former because of its forest residues and the latter because of an agricultural base that is not sufficiently large to support an ethanol plant of the scale necessary for economic viability [
Since 1980, Ontario has provided an exemption from its road and usage tax on gasoline for the ethanol portion of ethanol-blended fuels sold in the province. In October of 1994, the Ontario government announced it would offer assistance through project-specific agreements with ethanol producers that used renewable feedstock. This guaranteed a financial benefit of 14.7 cents per litre to producers until 2010 [
The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development in Alberta has maintained an ethanol policy since 1993. One program guaranteed that the exemption of provincial fuel tax payable on vehicle fuel would continue for a period of 5 years after the start-up of an ethanol production plant. The exemption was set at 9 ¢/litre of ethanol sold in the province.
From 1991 to 1993 the government of Saskatchewan provided a 40 cent per litre subsidy to the ethanol plant in Lanigan owned by Pound-Maker Agventures Ltd. [
The Fuel Tax Act in Quebec called for a reduction on tax on gasohol blends but was vague on the conditions attached. Québec's Minister of Finance announced in 1996 that the reduction in the fuel tax for ethanol could reach 130% of the gasoline tax, implying a subsidy in addition to no fuel tax on ethanol [
In December 2003, the Government of Manitoba passed The Biofuels and Gasoline Tax Amendment Act. That Act established a mandate for ethanol use in the province such that 85% of all gasoline sold was to contain 10% ethanol by September 2005. The Act also outlined a gasoline tax reduction for gasohol (E10) of $0.02 per litre of gasohol until 31 August 2007, reduced to $0.015 per litre of gasohol for the next three years and to $0.01 per litre of gasohol for the following three years [
The heterogeneity of the provincial tax exemptions (amounts, eligibility and duration) and other assistance measures has created an important barrier to inter-provincial trade. For example, Alberta's single ethanol plant exports almost all its production to the U.S. because Saskatchewan's tax exemption applies only to locally produced ethanol. On the other hand, Saskatchewan ethanol producers can sell their production in Alberta where the tax exemption does not impose any restriction on the source of the ethanol. These measures are provincially competitive and discourage production and use of ethanol in Canada.
Although the cost of oil has increased, it generally remains true that the cost of producing biofuels still is substantially higher than the cost of petroleum fuels, up to three times higher in most high income countries [
The International Energy Agency has called for the lowering of tariffs on biofuels and "it appears that the EU is negotiating with Latin American countries to arrange reduced tariffs for the import of bioethanol into the EU" [
In Canada, ethanol has been promoted as a means to improve the environment through a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, increase in farm incomes, and creation of jobs in rural areas that would contribute to revitalization of the rural economy. In this section, we evaluate how well public policies that subsidize and promote the growth of an ethanol industry in Canada meet these objectives.
A major justification for stimulating ethanol production has been to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that result when it, rather than gasoline, is burned in internal combustion engines. Biofuel combustion releases fewer greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, notably carbon dioxide (CO2). However, biofuel production generally requires the use (and burning) of fossil fuels. This is especially the case when cereal grains are used to produce ethanol. Modern agricultural practices involve the use of fertilizers and pesticides, both heavily dependent on the use of fossil fuels in their production. The tractors and trucks necessary to produce and transport the cereal grains to the ethanol plant require fuel. Finally, the ethanol production process itself requires some method of heating; often natural gas is used. Life cycle studies that account for all the fossil fuels used during the production of cereal-based ethanol (from well-to-wheel) reveal that the greenhouse gas reduction (over the use of gasoline in vehicles) is in the order of only 20–40 percent, depending on the agricultural practices employed, vehicle and tractor fuel economy, ethanol production process efficiency, and other factors (IEA 2004). Greenhouse gases may be reduced by 70–90 percent if cellulosic materials are used to produce ethanol (IEA 2004), mainly because fewer inputs are needed to produce the feedstock. Also, production of biodiesel from canola or soybeans reduces greenhouse gases by 40–60 percent over the use of petroleum diesel (IEA 2004). It has been found that producing ethanol from sugar cane provides a significant reduction in greenhouse gases [
The Canadian public has indicated strong support for using biofuels for transportation to decrease greenhouse gas emissions [
The production and use of ethanol to achieve greenhouse gas reductions appears to be very costly. Henke
A study by Ryan
Although there are environmental benefits from the production and use of ethanol, there also are a number of negative environmental consequences. The rapid expansion of ethanol production in the United States has worried some that marginal quality cropland might be shifted from the Conservation Reserve Program to provide more land on which to plant corn [
With so little reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and the certainty of some negative environmental consequences, the wisdom of government support of ethanol expansion appears questionable if allaying environmental concerns is the only (or the main) objective. Other benefits, such as improved farm incomes, rural development and energy security are therefore needed to justify the use of government interventions to develop an ethanol industry.
In Canada, the production of grains and oilseeds is traditionally a low margin enterprise in which many producers struggle financially to survive [
Market analysts have partially attributed the escalation of grain and oilseed prices between spring 2006 and mid-2008 to the extra demand for corn to produce ethanol [
It should be noted that prices of internationally traded commodities are no respecter of international boundaries. The rapid expansion of ethanol in North America has caused grain prices to increase in other countries just as surely as if the ethanol expansion had occurred there. That means that farmers around the world experience nearly the same grain and oilseed price increases regardless of whether or not ethanol production increases in their own countries.
While grain and oilseed prices increased between 2006 and 2008, this does not necessarily imply that net farm incomes increased. What is important is not gross income but net income,
Due to the competitive market structure of the grains and oilseeds sector, higher commodity prices, whether achieved through the market or through government policy actions, result in higher prices for land with little or no improvements in the net returns to agricultural labour [
An inevitable and undesirable result of rapidly expanding ethanol production is that livestock producers incur higher costs of their major input—feed grain. Higher feed costs for livestock have had three major effects. First, some part of the increased feed costs inevitably has been borne by producers of calves and weanling pigs. To offset higher feed costs, feedlot enterprises bid lower for feeder animals, which not only reduce the quantity of feeders offered for sale, but also provide feedlot owners with an incentive to buy heavier feeder cattle and to reduce the weight at which fed animals are sold. Second, in response to the potential decrease in supply of meat due to higher production costs, consumers face higher prices for meat products. This reduces consumption of meats both domestically and abroad. Third, higher costs are faced by canola crushers, flour millers, and other users of grains and oilseeds. Profitability in the beef feedlot business in Alberta, Canada, the largest beef producing region in the country, was devastated during the two year period when crop prices spiked upwards.
There seems to be little question that the ethanol industry has affected the costs and returns of primary agriculture throughout Canada. With the higher grain and oilseed prices, more money has come into agriculture. However, not everyone has gained, and the persistence of low net farm incomes has not been relieved.
Policies implemented by government commonly are evaluated in terms of how many jobs they create. Having a local ethanol plant boosts employment opportunities for nearby residents. Relatively high-paying positions at biorefineries provide incentives for young people to stay in their community. However, measuring the net economic impacts created by ethanol plants has been a problem. According to Swenson [
Husky Energy's ethanol plant at Lloydminster, Saskatchewan produces about 130 million litres of ethanol per year and employed 26 full-time workers when it opened in late 2007 [
Certainly, some local businesses and workers benefit in a region where a biofuel plant is located. It gives advantages to the landowners of the region who have an additional market for their crops and to those who have made local investments that cannot be transferred elsewhere without a diminution of their value. The benefit also spills over into surrounding regions. The totality of the benefits represents the gross gain.
However, other changes occur within a region when a business locates or expands as a result of government intervention. Ethanol plants increase the local wages of skilled and unskilled labour, which places pressure on other nearby enterprises to raise the wages they offer for skilled and unskilled labour. In response to higher wages, the other businesses have an incentive to reduce the number of hours or the quantity of labour they employ.
It is clear that increased ethanol production has caused feed grain prices to increase, which in turn has reduced the profitability and eventually the size of the livestock sector and, possibly, the livestock transportation and processing sectors. The gross benefits then are reduced by the reductions in employment and income in other sectors. For this reason, net gains generally are much smaller than the gross gains and may even be negative if the livestock industry is diminished enough (though some regions may gain while other regions suffer losses). As a result, expansion of ethanol production in Canada has led to only a small gain in rural employment and economic diversification though it undoubtedly boosted the local economies of the communities where new facilities were built.
The production and use of biofuel has been increasing rapidly throughout the world, particularly since the turn of the century. In the year 2000, total world production of ethanol for fuel was less than 20 billion litres and by 2005, production had more than doubled to around 40 billion litres [
While the costs of producing biofuels are relatively easy to measure, the benefits are much more difficult to quantify and, therefore, the market price does not adequately reflect the benefits of biofuels [
The cost of producing ethanol and bio-diesel in countries where land and labour prices are relatively high (as in Canada) discourages establishment of a biofuel industry. The relatively high costs can be overcome by subsidies, of course, but large income transfers from more productive sectors of the economy might not be in the country's best interests. Although large profits have been made in U.S. ethanol plants when ethanol prices were high and corn prices were low), it cannot be assumed that this situation will prevail into the long run. Since existing and new ethanol plants in the United States have received fairly large government transfers, it is unclear the extent to which this profitability would have inspired investment in new plants in the absence of the subsidies.
Canada is a large net exporter of energy so does not need a biofuel industry to help ensure energy security. Thus, the arguments for supporting development of a biofuel industry must rely mainly on reducing greenhouse gases and certain air pollutants, and increasing agricultural incomes and rural development. The evidence is overwhelming that there are much less expensive ways to reduce greenhouse gases than by producing ethanol from grains or bio-diesel from canola/rapeseed. Only in Brazil (and possibly some other low income countries) where the average cost of producing ethanol from sugar is much lower than in the high income countries is the cost per tonne of CO2 reduction reasonably competitive with other methods of reducing greenhouse gases. Production of ethanol from cellulosic materials (when large scale commercial production becomes possible) would substantially reduce the cost per tonne of CO2 reduction.
What about using the development of a biofuel industry as a rural development initiative? Certainly, primary grain and oilseed producers often struggle financially in Canada and much of the rural infrastructure is running down as a result. This is a complicated issue and not easy to analyze. There is some evidence that commodity prices would be increased by a small percentage if a large-scale biofuel industry could be established. However, due to the competitive market structure of the grains and oilseeds sector in Canada, it is well known that most improvements in commodity prices, whether through the market or through government transfers, result in higher prices for land with little or no improvements in the returns to agricultural labour. Of course, increases in equity (through higher valued farmland) can have some positive spin-offs for the rural economy.
Establishment of a major biofuel industry in the rural areas of Canada certainly would provide some additional jobs in the rural areas. In Brazil, for example, it has been estimated that 700,000 jobs have been created in rural areas to support the additional sugar cane and ethanol industry [
Despite the extensive biomass resources that exist in Canada, it appears that Canada has a comparative disadvantage in the production of biofuels. However, if the Canadian public desires to replace some portion of its fossil fuels by ethanol and bio-diesel, every effort ought to be made to do it as inexpensively as possible. A high priority should be to encourage imports of biofuels from places where they can be produced less expensively (e.g., Brazil, India, Thailand, Philippines,
Although it seems obvious that biofuels can be produced less expensively in developing countries, the Canadian public may still wish to establish a large-scale biofuels industry in Canada. To this end, close attention should be paid to three important economic factors to allow the industry to develop in a competitive environment.
First, every effort should be made to remove inter-provincial barriers to trade and let the industry become established in the most profitable locations. Associated with the location issue, local governments ought to refrain from offering subsidies to influence decision makers regarding the location of prospective plants.
Second, the subsidies for small plants ought to be terminated. Regulations that promote the building of small plants (as in Saskatchewan) may be suitable (and even profitable) in specific circumstances, as when an ethanol plant is associated with an adjacent feedlot. However, widespread establishment of small plants is likely to result in a much higher cost, and ultimately unsuccessful, industry.
Third, much work remains to be done to identify and remove regulations (or change certain institutions) that currently are in place to ensure adequate functioning of a supply chain for grains and oilseeds on the one hand, and to deliver gasoline and diesel fuel efficiently to consumers on the other. In the grains and oilseeds sector, plant breeding, registration of new cultivars, grain handling and storage procedures, etc. are heavily regulated and oriented to efficiently deliver high quality food and feed to consumers. Present procedures discourage (or prevent) the growing of plants that have higher yields of low quality grains (for food or feed stocks for biofuel production) and longer stemmed varieties (that would lower average costs of producing cellulosic materials). Since ethanol is hydroscopic and a solvent, it must be transported, stored and distributed in specialized containers, which rules out the use of existing pipelines to transport product. A major investment in handling infrastructure would be required to grow the industry much beyond its present size. The biofuels industry in every country including Canada is integrally related to the agricultural industry. Subsidies, price supports, tariffs and non-tariff barriers to trade bedevil the agricultural industry and make it very difficult to analyze the costs and impacts of any biofuel policies that also affect the agricultural industry. Like research in the biological and chemical areas on biofuels, research in the economic area is at least as important and at least as difficult to conduct. This does not mean that economic research should be avoided. On the contrary, the future welfare of Canadian citizens depends greatly on policy decisions taken by governments and the decision-making process can be improved if properly researched economic information is conducted and made available.
BIOCAP Canada was a program financed by the federal government from 2002 to 2008. Its purpose was to promote the use of forests, agricultural lands and wetlands to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and produce renewable energy.
The Ethanol Expansion Program includes the Future Fuels Initiative program, which includes the National Biomass Ethanol Program.
E10 refers to fuel blend of 10% ethanol, 90% gasoline.

THIEVES stole 'thousands of pounds worth' of musical instruments in a raid on a Dorchester store.
Police were alerted to the burglary at Harmony Music in Dorchester early on Saturday morning, following a call from neighbouring shop staff.
The glass door of the property was smashed and there was a 'trail of glass' into the shop.
James Barwick, managing director, of Harmony Music, said the front door had the glass smashed and the intruders managed to get through the alarm, before making off with 'thousands of pounds worth of various musical instruments.'
Dorset Police are investigating the incident and anyone with information should call 101 and quote incident number 01-117.

With the start of a new school year less than one week away, I would like to welcome back our students and staff for another great year. We would like to extend a special welcome to those who are new to us for the first time.
As we begin the school year, we have many reasons to be proud. Thanks to the hard work of our students and staff, our test scores have never been higher. Thanks to the support of our community, our class sizes are among the lowest in the area. In addition, the Princeton Public Schools have been fortunate to maintain strong course offerings and extra-curricular opportunities that all students can enjoy.
We begin the school year with a new transportation provider. Over the summer months, Mankato-based Palmer Bus Co. has been working with district staff to ensure a smooth transition. We are excited to work with the great staff at Palmer Bus Co. and welcome them to our community.
Returning students will be welcomed by several facility upgrades, including new lockers at Princeton High School and renovated athletic facilities. Also, the district has improved technology by introducing a number of Apple iPads for use by students and staff.
Throughout the year, we will continue to focus on strong initiatives that enhance our curriculum and improve classroom instruction. Among these will be an ongoing focus on improving student achievement with an emphasis on mathematics. A continued focus on school-wide strategies that foster positive student behavior and reduce bullying will improve the learning environment for our students.
While we are excited about our recent progress and the new initiatives we have introduced, there will be challenges ahead. What to do with an aging South Elementary School, in need of millions of dollars of basic maintenance is at the top of the list. In the coming weeks, our school board will be hard at work examining potential solutions to challenging questions regarding South Elementary. As always, we will keep the public informed and will seek community input as we move forward.
Thank you for your continued support of the Princeton Public Schools.
Richard Lahn is the superintendent of the Princeton School District. Reach him by email [email protected]

323 Angel Eyes Question........
I just bought some angel eyes for my 1999 323i. I hear that I cannot have HID's with angels because they will melt them. I would like something along with the angel eyes to increase visibility at night and to make the car look better of course......help
I already installed them on my older e36 and they worked fine for more than 3 years..
whoever told you that is on crack....so many guys on this site have HID/Angel eye combo lol
Actually the opposite is true. A halogen bulb for your car run @ approx 50 - 100 watts which run MUCH hotter then HID (high intensity discharge). HID bulbs only require 25 - 35 watts to run and have roughly 4 - 6x the light output. Doesn't take a degree to figure that one out.
thanks guys....i think im gonna go head go with the combo...but i also want to talk to somebody that actually has both on their car to make sure

90+ Abstract Photography Collections
- Published by
- Posted on
- 1 Comment
Abstract photography is a process of using colours and patterns combined to create an image, with no true meaning or no clear subject involved. Abstract photography is not necessarily going to mean the same thing to everyone. Abstract photography leaves more to the imagination and helps us concentrate on texture and colour rather than the whole subject.
If you are looking to try a new form of photography, abstract photography will certainly be an enjoyable challenge and very rewarding if you master the true art.
Here are some great examples of abstract photography collections to inspire you to go out and create your next work of art. Enjoy.
Also take a look at our related articles:

Great collection of abstract photos. It reminds me of some of the early projects we attempted when I was at art college. They look fairly easy to capture but when you are asked to go out and shoot them it is very hard to find the images that look simple and striking.

Pretty Sweet
Overall an exellent piece. Very melodious and counterpunctual at sometimes. I liked what you did with the filtering and panning. My only suggestion is to bring up the volume of the synth playing the melody a little bit; other than that great job! Keep making music :)

Nice track
a very good meldoy in this, though I didn't think a piano did good in that place. But well, I don't think anything else would fit that pianoic melody
Dude you got me think of something I played in first grade at primary school, some stupid math thing where you earn candy in a platform for solving math puzzles... but the graphics were childish and funny so it's a kinda good memory... lolz ^^
But, the thing you put in which you modulated away after a while... it was a bit... unnecessary... it kinda overflow the song a bit.
Everythink else was great, there's nothing wrong with any clarity, the diversity is great, I haven't heard anything similar and you seem to have put tonsa effort in it.
good observations man, I'll try and make good use of them ;)
Thanks for the review.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
It sounds pretty good! But this may just be me, but I think the first melody you have goes a little too long with no real big change. Just a small complaint from me. Also, The second real melody that comes in (yknow that synth) I dont feel it, I donno, doesn't fit the song in the right way. The song was really well done, but those two things are all i have against it... Nice beat, and such XD Good job
thanks. I agree about the second synth, your right.
Strange no-one mentioned the main build and the climax, which is the key feature of the track.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Good-sounding... I like it. =)
Thanks for reviewing my song... I'll review a few of yours.
You know, I really need to listen to more of your songs... this is something I'd expect to find on my iPod or something. Yeah, it's that good - I'm not trying to butter you up or anything. Seriously. =P
Your melody's catchy, your mixing's done well, and your percussion fits, for one. You build things up nicely - that bass you introduce in the beginning of the song's nice, too. You keep the percussion fresh - you just introduced some hihats, which add a lot to the song. And now you've added a synth which I assume is the melody.
The song's nice through... hey, I see a nice high-pitched synth fading in. It's getting better and better.
Eeewww... you know, it may be something you thought to be a good idea, but what you do with that one sound effect and the panning just gives me a headache... and it brings all the other sounds down, too, which generally isn't something very pleasant.
Past that, it's an overall great song. I like this a lot... you've got a 5/5 from me. Go ahead and PM me whenever you want me to review a song of yours. =)
hehe..well IT doesnt bring the other things down..its a low pass filter with panning. :)
Glad you liked it, thanks for the review.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Hehe pretty nice!! Yeah I'm starting but im trying my best. You're a pro compared to me. The beat, the melody, everything's in harmony. Just perfect. Why don't you hear my Wonder City Remix and give it a review? I think it's my best shot until now. Thanks for the positive comments =) ill keep trying.
thanks man, glad you liked it.

The city was historically known as Julfar. Archaeological evidence has demonstrated that the settlement known as Julfar shifted location over time as harbour channels silted up. Excavations of a sizable tell, which revealed remnants of a Sassanid Era fortification indicate that early Julfar was located in the Shamal area, not far from other sites of historical/archaeological interest such as Sheba's Palace and the largest Umm Al Nar tombs found on the Arabian Peninsula. Sources say that Julfar was inhabited by the Azd (They were a branch of the Kahlan tribe, which was one of the two branches of Qahtan (the aboriginal Arabs), the other being Himyar.) during the eighth and ninth centuries AD, and that the houses of the Azd were built of wood.
Sights in Ras Al Khaimah include the prehistoric tombs of Um An Nar and the Jazirat al-Hamra ghost town.
Jazirat al-Hamra, or the Red Island, located in Ras al Khaimah, is one of the seven emirates that form the U.A.E. It is also known as the ghost town. The story goes that this town was haunted, which is the reason why it was abandoned, and has remained uninhabited and neglected since 1968.
Occupied by the Za'ab tribe, this coastal village was created in the 14th century on a peninsula. They were also called Hadhr, which is the local name for coastal Bedouins, whose livelihood depended mainly on pearling.
The 1930s economic crises saw the decline of the natural pearl industry. Few years later, this town was deserted when the inhabitants moved out, attracted by the prospect of better living conditions offered by the local government.

Exploring opportunities for green growth in the Greater Mekong
Countries in the Mekong region are enjoying a much needed economic boom; but their natural assets are being depleted. To ensure that communities and ecosystems can continue to flourish, governments are meeting to explore new, greener growth models...
Spanning dusty savannahs, dense rainforests and vast river flows, the Greater Mekong Sub-Region (GMS) is one of the most biologically diverse and agriculturally rich areas of the world. Flowing from its headwaters in the Tibetan plateau down to the Vietnam delta, the Mekong River unites six diverse countries in a collective economic as well as ecological future (Cambodia, the People's Republic of China, Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam).
Along its route, the Mekong provides direct sustenance to approximately 60 million people who rely on Mekong fisheries and other aquatic resources for approximately 80% of their protein intake, as well as indirectly supporting a regional population of over 300 million by providing water for consumption, irrigation, industry, and travel. Furthermore, the much needed nutrients carried along the Mekong's course enrich the delta and enable the production of rice, which is the staple crop for much of the region and an important source of income for Vietnam and Thailand - the world's leading rice exporters.
In close proximity to China, and with its wealth of natural resources, the GMS is one of the fastest growing regions in the world. Projected GDP growth rates range from 5.1% (Thailand) to 8.2% (China) in 2013 - averaging 6.6% across the all six GMS nations, while power demand is expected to triple by 2025.
Today, governments across the region face the immense challenge of developing their economies, alleviating poverty and ensuring social stability, while simultaneously ensuring the health of ecosystems and the services they provide. There is no better time to clearly articulate and mainstream green economy principles in national and regional development strategies, business and investment plans, and the popular mindset.
Exploring new opportunities
To better understand how green economies make good policy and business sense, a regional consultation 'New opportunities from natural wealth management' will take place June 17th-20th in Bangkok . This four-day dialogue, convened by a consortium of organising partners, will bring together by invitation-only members of government, corporations, and major development organizations to highlight successful projects, tools, and methodologies to bring lasting financial, environmental, and social stability to GMS citizens and key stakeholders.
The event will launch a systematic public-private dialogue on enabling conditions, available opportunities and practical applications for green economies in the GMS, beginning with following questions:
- How are the terms green economy and green growth truly understood among key decision-makers in the GMS?
- Where is economic valuation of natural capital happening in the region? Has ecosystem service valuation influenced policy; and if so, where?
- Which companies are leading the way with sustainable production and supply/value chain greening in the region? What national policies offer the best incentives for such measures?
- Where do innovative financing mechanisms exist to catalyse the transitions to green economies?
At present, all six GMS nations have pledged support in a 10-year strategic framework to reduce poverty, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions through "the development of a green, inclusive, and balanced economy." Individually, each government has incorporated green growth terms and concepts into its national development plan(s). While rhetoric alone is insufficient to create shift GMS countries to green economies, these articulations are important steps in understanding the multi-faceted paradigm.
For businesses currently working in or considering entering GMS markets, this early stage of transition offers potentially enormous benefits. In a 2011 Joint Ministerial Statement from the Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Program, all six GMS representatives pledged to develop agriculture, energy, tourism, and transport sectors according to green economy principles—welcoming companies who can build smart grids, retrofit buildings, introduce smarter vehicles and appliances, and market ecotourism, among other ventures.
Increased access to information on green economy work streams will support public and private sector decision-makers, as well as key civil society organizations, in creating a lasting shift to green economies in the GMS.

NCAR News Release
NCAR Scientists Win Award for In-flight Turbulence Prediction
BOULDERA warning system to help pilots navigate storms without encountering air turbulence has earned a NASA award for its design team at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). NASA will present the NCAR team and other NASA team members with a Turning Goals Into Reality award on June 11.
The purpose was to create something industry could put on aircraft and help prevent accidents, says Larry Cornman, one of two leaders on the project from NCAR. This new technology shows that it is possible for airborne radars to be used to give pilots warnings of at least 30 seconds in advance of turbulence.
NASA sponsored the research. NCARs primary sponsor is the National Science Foundation.
The project started several years ago with the goal of upgrading radars on commercial aircraft to provide useful turbulence information. Specifically, the NCAR team wanted to determine which regions of low radar reflectivity are safe from turbulence.
Reflectivity refers to the amount of radar signal bounced back by raindrops, ice crystals, and snow. Pilots use reflectivity readings from on-board radars to maneuver around storms. A pilot may assume a region of low reflectivity is safe and fly through it only to experience turbulence in this dryer area.
The team tackled the problem in two steps. First the scientists ran computer models that simulated clouds and turbulence. Then they simulated radar returns within the clouds. The radar simulations helped them develop the NCAR Efficient Spectral Processing Algorithm (NESPA), a quality-control and turbulence prediction formula for use with airborne Doppler radars like those on commercial airlines. NESPA will help pilots decide which low-reflectivity regions are safe to fly through.
In a test flight last summer, scientists used NESPA on the NASA B-757 aircraft as it flew through numerous thunderstorms. The plane encountered 42 cases of moderate or greater turbulence. NESPA had an 80% detection rate and made very few false predictions, even in areas where the radar return was very low.
Now that the team has demonstrated NESPAs feasibility, the next step will be refining and evaluating the results, as well as setting standards to certify industry products for detecting turbulence that are developed from NESPA.
Robert Sharman led the project along with Cornman. Other staff who worked on the project include Shelly Gerding, Greg Meymaris, John Williams, Beth Chorbajian, Rod Frehlich, Todd Lane, Kimberly Wey, and Teddie Keller, all from NCARs Research Applications Program.

Google became a company with $30 billion in revenues—and with obscene (nearly 30 percent) net profit margins.
Last quarter the company did $20.9 billion in revenue and cleared $6.6 billion in net profit.
net profit was $3.19 billion, down from $3.4 billion last quarter.
In the second quarter of 2013, Apple raked in a net profit of $6.9 billion.
net profit was $11.6 billion, or $12.30 per share, nearly double their level last year and also above Wall Street expectations.
It had made for them in one hour forty million dollars net profit, and this was but the beginning.
At all events, the net profit to her and her confederates in the affair must have been some £10,000.
A net profit of five per cent on this amount, gives $20,000 each year to the insurance fund.
The net profit to the author from the first of these books was six francs!
Out of the net profit a percentage goes to the chiefs, and the remainder is divided among the workmen.

Trainers highlight Ring 44 Hall picks
Trainers will be getting their due next month during the Buffalo Veterans Boxers Association Ring 44 Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Salvatore's Italian Gardens.
The Class of 2014 includes instructors of the sweet science from Team DeLeon – brothers Juan, Carlos and Angel – and the late Tony Pinto. Sportswriter, Ring 44 Historian Emeritus and New York State Boxing Hall of Famer Angelo Prospero and middleweight Paulie Mahoney, one of the area's top professionals during the 1930s and '40s, also are part of the this year's class of inductees, who will be honored during the annual dinner ceremony Aug. 8. Doors open at 6 p.m. and dinner will be served at 7 p.m. Three-time world champion Iran Barkley will be the guest speaker. Tickets can be purchased by calling 440-1715 or sending an email to email@example.com.
Team DeLeon was a key component of Team Mesi during Joe Mesi's unbeaten professional career. Juan DeLeon began training Mesi, the Ring 44 Hall of Famer, as an amateur in 1993. The partnership, which has since turned into a lifelong friendship, included a run at the Olympics (Mesi was an alternate in 1996), fighting before a packed house at then HSBC Arena, wins in Las Vegas and Madison Square Garden in New York City and one final triumph – a first-round knockout over Shannon Miller for the WBC United States Heavyweight title Oct. 12, 2007 in what proved to be Mesi's last fight.
Mesi isn't the only boxer the DeLeons trained as they currently are working with Emanuel Colon, a former state Golden Gloves champion.
Juan DeLeon, who lives in Kenmore, also was Mariusz Wach's trainer when he fought for the world heavyweight title and lost via unanimous decision to Wladimir Klitschko in November 2012.
Juan also was in his brother Carlos' corner and part of his training camp for a dozen fights during the latter's reign as world cruiserweight champion during the 1980s.
"This honor means a lot to me, a lot for my family," Juan DeLeon said via phone from Puerto Rico, where his protege Colon is training for a future fight. "It's a team" effort.
"The first one who did anything, and I just followed his footsteps, was Carlos. Everything I've done in boxing is because of him."
Pinto spent 30 years in the sport as a fighter and trainer at the amateur and pro levels. He passed away at age 57 from a heart attack. Among the Ring 44 Hall of Fame members he worked with as trainer include Joey Giambra, Vic Brown, Dennis Cudney and Dick Topinko.
Prospero has covered fights for various boxing periodicals, including Ring Magazine, since the 1950s. He served as Ring 44's historian for 25 years before passing the reins to Bob Caico.
Prospero, who wrote the book "Great Fights and Fighters," also covered some of the greatest fights during the latter half of the 20th century including Ali-Frazier I, Foreman-Frazier II, Hearns-Leonard I and Hearns-Hagler.
Mahoney went 31-15-1 (14 KOs) during a nine-year career. He wasn't afraid of a challenge as he took on some of the top fighters of his era, losing 10-round decisions to former middleweight champions Teddy Yarosz and Ken Overlin. Mahoney later moved to Florida and then California, where he died in 1983.

Other themes are more character-based, such as the "Bowie, Cocteau, Visconti" section, in deference to dandies and dapper men.
Whole hecatombs of petty rulers were sacrificed at this time to the Visconti alone.
Of all Italian tyrants, this Visconti was the most difficult to serve.
An Orsini might be as bad in Pisa as a Visconti, so we might as well send some of our own people to be on the spot.
My evil stars led me to Milan, where I had business with the Visconti.
Thence he sent to the brothers Wetstein, publishers at Amsterdam, the proofs of his edition of the letters of Visconti.
You are no Visconti—no Castracani—you cannot stain your laurels with revenge upon a woman.
To such an extent was the growing tyranny of the Visconti still dependent upon their office delegated from the Empire.
The Visconti of Milan were large patrons of the Campionese school.
Thereupon the servant exclaimed that their sins must have been as great as those of Visconti.

Tila Tequila Makes Explosive Claims About Rihanna
Tila Tequila never shies away from press, even negative press. In fact, she seems to have "There's no such thing as bad publicity" ingrained in her brain. So, of course, she jumped at the chance to go after Rihanna, who said she'd like to turn Tila off with her magic remote, if that were possible, while on the Big Boy radio show. Now, it seems Tila might have started this celebrity feud, but Rihanna's comments weren't so mean as to warrant Tila's harsh allegations. Tila's claims, after the jump…
"RiRi … babygirl … First of all, I have NEVER been to ANY AMA Award show … so why are you lying about that? However, I DO remember seeing you at the MTV MUSIC AWARDS, so maybe that's the one you were talking about, but who knows, you probably don't remember because you're so full of yourself and always drunk so I don't blame u for getting confused.
Second of all, you said that you saw me backstage with a drink in my hand? Wow, Im shocked! Cuz from what I can recall, you were so busy being a DIVA backstage and being SO RUDE TO EVERYONE, with your 10 people entourage and Security guards, having people run back and fourth driving them mad, with all your diva and rude behavior! Acting as though you were the biggest star at the MTV MUSIC AWARDS … who are you to condemn anyone for drinking when ur drunk ass is out everynight wasted."
Now, here's the really explosive claim:
"I heard from legit sources, that is the HUGE SECRET our prestine, perfect little Princess RiRi, the "IDOL" has been hiding from the media. A very close source of mine, who works in the same legal camp as Rihanna, has told me that the reason why Rihanna wasn't speaking out about the CHRIS BROWN incident is because there was a catch 22 in it. Rihanna has herpes, and … well … I don't wanna put anyone else on blast, but Rihanna has herpes and gave someone else herpes that she had slept with."
Yeah, we heard this herpes rumor, too, back when the whole Chris Brown assault happened. So why are you repeating it, Tila? Oh, yeah, to keep your name high in Google searches. And revealing that Rihanna allegedly has herpes is akin to using "you're gay" as an insult in my book. Her sexual history is a private matter between her and the people she chooses to sleep with. Making these claims doesn't make you look fierce, it simply makes you the annoying famewhore everyone thinks you are. Man, I wish I had that remote Rihanna was talking about. [Tila's Hotspot]

The new book on the Osama bin Laden raid offers a different story on how the terrorist leader died.
An unarmed bin Laden was shot when he stuck his head out of a door, says No Easy Day, the book by a former Navy SEAL who participated in the raid.
Written by Matt Bissonnette under the name of Mark Owen, the book is "raising questions as to whether the terror mastermind presented a clear threat when SEALs first fired upon him," reports the Associated Press, which obtained an early copy of the book along with The Huffington Post, which broke the story.
No Easy Day is scheduled to be released next Tuesday.
From the Associated Press:
Bissonnette says he was directly behind a "point man" going up the stairs. "Less than five steps" from top of the stairs, he heard "suppressed" gunfire: "BOP. BOP." The point man had seen a "man peeking out of the door" on the right side of the hallway.
The author writes that bin Laden ducked back into his bedroom and the SEALs followed, only to find the terrorist crumpled on the floor in a pool of blood with a hole visible on the right side of his head and two women wailing over his body.
Bissonnette says the point man pulled the two women out of the way and shoved them into a corner and he and the other SEALs trained their guns' laser sites on bin Laden's still-twitching body, shooting him several times until he lay motionless. The SEALs later found two weapons stored by the doorway, untouched, the author said.
In the account related by administration officials after the raid in Pakistan, the SEALs shot bin Laden only after he ducked back into the bedroom because they assumed he might be reaching for a weapon.
