Making it easier on the back with raised beds (20 ft. x 4 ft. 2 block high). PVC pipe looped over to put plastic on to get plants out early.
By George from Roanoke VA

I think I'd like to do something similar, so I have a few questions for you. Can I purchase curved PVC pipe or do I need to curve it myself (and how does one curve PVC pipe?)? How did you anchor the PVC pipe? Are those cinder blocks that you've used as retainers for the sides of the beds? Do you think that small annual flowers could be planted inside the small holes in the retaining wall? Thanks.
I understand the PVC curved supports. What I really want to see is how you tie down the plastic cover. Anytime, I work with plastic cover sheets, it is a misery to anchor in place. The over the curves is probably relatively easy, but the ends are another matter. I know of no practical method of anchoring the ends of the tunnel. Maybe you could enlighten me.
This is interesting how you made the framework. I thought of using sticky back velcro tabs that would probably fit and remain on both pvc pipes and plastic sheeting to hold in place and my husband thought of 2x4 boards layed against the walls to hold down the plastic.
We made a frame similar to this a few years ago, when we needed some temporary storage area. We made it tall enough to walk into, and used metal rods pounded into the ground to put the PVC on, and covered the area with a large blue tarp. It served the purpose well, sheltering our merchandise from the weather.
Harlean from Arkansas
Message for Durgan....You would have to dig a trench all around the outside of your bed and bury the ends of your tarp or polythene sheeting under soil. Another way is to roll the ends of the cover around a sturdy cane ( using as many as you need ) and peg the cane firmly along the ground with long skewer type metal rods with hooked ends which you find in a store selling camping gear, used as tent pegs.

Yeah tonight it took about 4 trys the first I had to take power off the box to reset... since I have 3 doing this I'm surprised no other complaints(?)
I currently am an auditor in a class 2 electronics plant, I wonder of the issues of unsoldered but touching or insufficent joints that get past us cause, anyone know if these were manufactured in a class 1 or class 2 plant?
Turning off the power would require a switch capable of 110v, the way these things(and most modern electronics) are designed is the 110v is converted to a low voltage right away, then that low voltage is interrupted.
It means the power supply is operating all the time but it's safer to convert the high voltage to low as soon as possible. It's one of the reason modern electronics draw a small amount of power even when off.
Hmm, I've used one of these for DXing (and some regular TV watching) out in an uninsulated shop for well over a year now, and I've never had a problem. I'm in Texas, so it doesn't get extremely cold here, but the Zenith has been out in 25* temps many nights.
BTW, Bismarck, I'm almost positive that the Best Buy Insignia TVs are in fact made by LG. At least, many of them used to be. (And for the record, I had a 2005 Philips 42" plasma that bit the dust a year and a half ago... Very frustrating...)
Those are pretty close together in date improving the odds of a mfg issue.
Yeah I experienced that part scenario during proto builds; very frustrating when I thought I had the design complete. Also made for some good ol' fun 'ribbing' fuel to be used by the mfg engineers.
Funny, I have a backup 19" RCA circa 1983. Had a problem picking up noise from some boxes though as the knob tuner was designed before heavy digital circuit use. Yeah me wonders how reliable these non-CRT TVs will be over the long-term.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night whilst travelling Italy so that we could explore Pompeii.
The hosts were lovely and friendly, even offered us a lift back to the train station the following day.
The room was more like an apartment, with its own balcony and was perfectly clean.
The breakfast provided was excellent, and again the hosts could not have been more helpful.
Good location to explore Pompeii, slightly further to walk than we first thought, but close to the train station.
Overall, we would definitely stay here again - one of the best places we have stayed while travelling Italy.

Onion and Tomato Noodle Soup
Recipe by Goldcrest
Very simple - a meal in itself. Was published in an Indian children's magazine - Gokulam, some years ago.
Top Review by Shuzbud
A quick and easy healthy soup. We did find it a little lumpy, having blended the ingredients raw so next time would probably bake or saute the onion and tomato and then blend once cooked. This is a great recipe for Weight Watchers, as the only points are from the noodles. I also found that it needed longer to simmer in order to reduce the raw onion flavour.
See Discussion:5 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 1 medium tomatoes, deseeded and quartered
- 1 clove garlic
- plain cooked noodles (any kind and as much or as little as you want)
- salt and pepper
- water
Directions See How It's Made
- Blend together the onion, tomato and garlic in a blender, until smooth.
- Add water to it depending upon how concentrated or dilute you want the soup to be.
- Place the mixture in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Continue to cook on a low heat for 4-5 minutes.
- Add desired amount of cooked noodles and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.

This could be me, but..............
in 3.6 the option for admins only could be used when closing as well as adding a new comment. Is there something I am missing in the settings to allow this?
The reason I ask is I used to use that method to keep a record of calls or notifications from our server / backup monitors which have 'no reply' addresses. Without that option I would have to delete the tickets. This will in turn have an effect on ticket stats when running a report.
It is also handy for when some users in their politeness feel they need to reply to tickets that have been closed, and a reply re opens the ticket. ( or does it?) really sorry but I am a bit snowed under and on my own on the helpdesk. Quick answer would be really cool as I haven't got the time to search.
Cheers guys
May 26, 2009 at 2:36 UTC
Thanks for the update.
:^) Harold
BTW: apparently the reopening of tickets setting was not implemented for tickets that are reopend by email. I'll put in a bug for this problem and for the ability to set the value to 0.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Yes, users responding to ticket closings reopens them with a new comment.
May 22, 2009 at 8:18 UTC
What I used to do was just tick admin only then close the ticket. What I wanted to know really, was if this function was still available? It was handy for the no reply addresses and the occasional spam.
Thanks for the heads up on the reopening of tickets question though.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Yup, still there. I use that sometimes.
May 22, 2009 at 8:41 UTC
Yep. like Scott said it's still there you just have to use the note option. Response sends the user a message. Note is the same as marking it private (admin only)
May 22, 2009 at 9:56 UTC
Ahh right. So as long as the note tab is selected or active, closing a call only informs admins and no mail is then sent to user to inform of change / close?
Makes perfect sense. a lot better than a tick box. Which I have forgotten to tick in the past. Ooops
Wish I had time to read through the notes. I was expecting an RTFM.
Thanks loads guys
May 22, 2009 at 10:24 UTC
You can turn off the reopen on reply in the advanced section on the Help Desk Settings page. Set the number of days to 0 on the following setting.
Maximum age (in days) a closed ticket can be reopened

May 22, 2009 at 10:48 UTC
Cheers Harold, that will save me some time.
Many Thanks to Kaiser1 and Scot as well
May 22, 2009 at 11:03 UTC
Harold sorry mate but this fails. Round 2 commences :-)
When entering the value of 0 the value auto defaults to 7.
Tried a different variation of no value then entering down from 7 to 1 which was successful. I can get the value down to 1 day but that wont stop the auto replies from re opening the ticket. I did try the 0 again and then .0 then 0. but realised I was just being daft so I stopped.
Any idea's?
I'm flummoxed. the value of 0 normally works for these sort of time issues
May 26, 2009 at 12:39 UTC
Today my helpdesk died :-((
HTTP failed and no one could use the webaccess portal. Then when I logged onto the server and opened the dashboard I could see that all servers were showing as down. I could see tickets coming in but I couldn't select to amend edit or reply that call. Some of the flash was failing to load.
Tried rebooting the server but no success or change in the symptoms
Been trying to get into the settings but no joy.
in fact anything on the dashboard has been inaccessable since about 10am gmt this morning. Getting on the community still worked even tho the dashboard was unresponsive. Strange as it started to play up so suddenly.
Anyway made the ultimate schoolboy error and re ran the beta .exe. What was I thinking! Now nothing initialises.
Never mind it will do me good to start from scratch again. Go over and try and evaluate what caused such a failure (before I tried to re install the beta) and why it happened so suddenly. Maybe I will have to look at our firewall logs. I dont think it was the spiceworks that was at fault now after speaking to my manager.
Ho hum you live and learn.

Its Alive!!!!!
My helpdesk that is.
How the mail to the spiceworks is set when logging calls is, User sends a ticket to 'helpdesk'. A mail comes from a distrubution group to the spiceworks mail account. This then logs the ticket
Transpires that when the exchange account I had set up for helpdesk tickets had reached a total of 6000 items in the mailstore, and was not a happy bunny!
For some reason the distrubution group set itself to a universal security group. I changed it back to a global distrubution. That was my first discovery
This had a knock on effect which started the spiceworks app playing up with some weird and wonderful issues. Some of which were beyond my experience to understand.
I passed it to a colleague expalining all that I had amended, and that I had hit a skill barrier as it were.
I have to confess that It was my colleague Alan that eventually found the root of the problem, but in my defense I had already done most of the boring stuff.. :-)
You gotta love a trekkie/trekker and whatever they call fans of Voyager (ehmmmm 7 of 9. Stern but fair) Ooops cats out of the bag!
This mailstore issue has now been resolved
Harold, Scott, I thank you both.
Jun 5, 2009 at 2:41 UTC
I think its a little confusing now to close under notes with private admin message or notes. I liked the tick admin only before under the notes. Also is it possible to select which users will get copy of the closed report now that you can copy other users on the ticket. Some you may want to share with the users some you may want to share with your boss, etc.
Jun 5, 2009 at 3:06 UTC
Thanks for the information. You can set the global CC messages on the Settings > Help Desk Settings > Show Additional Settings page.

This is an amazing read: Raph Koster revisits the fabled time of game development that lead up to the launch of Star Wars Galaxies(SWG) and it's initial game systems for attaining Jedi status.
I've never really gotten over SWG, what it could have been after launch, and its eventual collapse. Reading this article from Raph I get the sense that he was as heartbroken as we were as initial forum goers and beat testers. Raph's words bleed a passion and intelligence that is absent in today's game design. They are what hooked us then and what I think will let us close the book on the SWG chapter in our MMO careers.

text: CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATEC), the parent company of Alphatec Spine, Inc., announced today that the Company has signed a new supply agreement that provides the Company with exclusive worldwide rights to market, sell and distribute an anchored, zero-profile anterior cervical interbody device. The device's 510(K) application is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for market clearance. Pursuant to the agreement, Alphatec Spine will pay an upfront fee over the next 12 months and has agreed to certain minimum purchase commitments. The market for cervical interbody devices is estimated to be $465 million. The anchored interbody device market is the fastest growing segment of the cervical interbody market and is estimated to currently be approximately $47 million. "I am pleased to announce this new supply agreement. While we compete in the cervical interbody market with certain of our Novel PEEK spacers and structural allograft products, the addition of an anchored, zero-profile cervical interbody device will add depth to our cervical portfolio with surgeons who have adopted this technology," said Les Cross, Chairman and CEO of Alphatec Spine. "When I became CEO of Alphatec Spine earlier this year, I laid out a clear strategy to strengthen the sales and profitability of the organization. We have focused on streamlining our internal operations to strengthen margins and shorten the cycle time for developing and commercializing new products. I also recognized Alphatec's need to simultaneously scale our business through acquisitions of companies and new products to further accelerate top-line growth. While it has been my ongoing expectation that it will take time to yield meaningful and positive impacts to our revenue growth, we are building a new and stronger foundation that should strengthen future revenue growth and lower our cost structure through decreased manufacturing and operating costs to enhance our margins."

TES Young Poet Of The Week
The river is like a grey cat.
Slinking through the fields,
Purring as it goes.
Intent on slipping through the
green leaves
Without scaring the birds
Stealthily on its way.
By Vicky Oates, aged nine, who receives Great Snakes (VikingPuffin). Submitted by Lin Newstead of St Andrews CEVA primary school, North Lopham, Norfolk, who receives the Poetry Society's teacher's newsletter, a quarterly bulletin which includes features on innovative approaches to poetry in the classroom. For Poetry Society events, ring 0171 240 4810.
Here's a delightful little poem based on a single very effective image. I think if I'd been writing it, I'd have put the last line fourth; it seems to me otherwise perfect, the grey balancing the green, the fields off-setting the leaves as the crafty predator "slinks", the well-chosen adjective "intent" reverberating with meaning.
Next term's guest poet will be Wendy Cope, best known for her two witty collections, Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis (1986) and Serious Concerns (1992), published by Faber. More recently she has edited The Orchard Book of Funny Poems and appears in Macmillan's Another Day on Your Foot and I Would Have Died for over-7s, to be published in January.
Poems up to 20 lines long, on any subject, should be sent to The TES, Admiral House, 66-68 East Smithfield, London E1 9XY by December 15. Please include the poet's name, age and school and the teacher's name.

Quoting qifitness
Hi Matt
Only just seen your post, so this may be outdated now....
I always visit over Xmas. This year booked flight only, but because of it being peak period, decided to book a guesthouse for a few nights on arrival.
Although I started looking around online in January, I found that many of the ones with good reviews were already booked up for Xmas 2012. Eventually, I managed to book one in Benaulim, south Goa for Rs500 a night.
There will be accommodation available at that time, but you might end up trekking around a bit and perhaps having to accept something that isn't what you really want.
My suggestion would be to look around online for something for a couple of nights so you have assurance of somewhere to stay on arrival.
Yes, i am agree with you..As it is the busiest time period in the Goa, you have to look for accommodation first..

There are a lot of FB modules out there. But this one appears to have the exact features I need. One question: what is the time period for which "recent posts from the Page" gets displayed? Because I currently have a block with all 3 features turned on, 556 pixels tall, and scrolling enabled. The center section is completly blank, although the FB page has posts on it.
The most recent post is just over two moths old. Could that be a reason? Or is it possible the FB page has a configuration that would prevent embedding it?
Thank you!
Comment #1drozas CreditAttribution: drozas commented
Hi mcfilms!
I am happy to hear your found the module useful!
I think this might be due to the date of the posts, exactly. This module basically makes use of the API provided by Facebook (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/) to allow performing the configuration of the settings directly via Drupal. You can try your Facebook Page URL in the previous link, and if you get the same behaviour means that this is probably provoked by some filtering by date made in the Facebook side.
Hope this helps!

Question: A proponent of a new proposition on a ballot wants
A proponent of a new proposition on a ballot wants to know the population percentage of people who support the bill. Suppose a poll is taken, and 580 out of 1000 randomly selected people support the proposition. Should the proponent use a hypothesis test or a confidence interval to answer this question? Explain. If it is a hypothesis test, state the hypotheses and find the test statistic, p-value, and conclusion. Use a 5% significance level. If a confidence interval is appropriate, find the approximate 95% confidence interval. In both cases, assume that the necessary conditions have been met.

text: I hope someone can remember this. Somewhere in Memphis there was a sign that was a loaf of Hart's bread and the best I can remember it moved back and forth. If I remember correctly, it moved from lower left in an arc to upper right. Again, I remember very little about it but it seems that it may have been located on Crump/Lamar and was facing West, so you saw it coming from Arkansas. I had a first cousin, who if still alive would now be 91. He was an artist and I was told by the family that he designed and/or drew and painted it. I wondered if anyone remembered that loaf.

When Can My Baby See?
Every parent wants to know how well their newborn sees. We think newborns can see facial construction. They notice the difference between light and dark and contrast - this all changes by age 4 months. This is when the baby develops depth perception and they can tell the difference between colors. This is also when your baby's eyes should start moving together as opposed to one eye turning in or one eye on turning out which can be normal up until this point.
By age 12 months your child's vision should reach adult levels. Your doctor will check your baby's eyes at each visit to make sure everything is developing normally.

One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Straight to the room to check in which I like. Top floor suite, fantastic having a seperate living room, two toilets and three tellys! Immaculately clean. Rain shower. Club lounge great, afternoon tea with snacks, buffet type dinner from 6pm until 8pm and free beer and soft drinks all day. Needed some documents urgently scanned and emailed which was done straight away with no fuss. Breakfast ok but not as good as Pan Pacific in Singapore (previous review). Bit too dark in the lift foyer on teh 19th floor. I liked the fact that the hotel was on the edge of the chaos, and that the main road outside was a nice wide boulevard, some of the other hotels are crammed into the back streets. Worth the US$60 airport transfer, very nice e-class Merc. Just beware that you have to exit the terminal to find the driver. Absolute heaven to return to from the mayhem outside. Would I return to HCMC though? Hmmm....

Yahoo's site mirrors Facebook in latest facelift
Yahoo's latest facelift will include a Facebook touchup.
As part of changes rolling out this week, Yahoo's website will import personal updates from Facebook's social network for users who want a bridge between two of the world's most popular websites. The Facebook link will need to be turned on by each Yahoo user.
The personal updates will be available throughout Yahoo's website, including its front page and e-mail service. Other tools will empower people to automatically let their Facebook friends know what they are doing and saying on Yahoo services such as its photo-sharing site, Flickr.
The additional tie-ins follow through on a makeover that Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo Inc. announced late last year in an effort to make its website more compelling.

The director revealed the creative process of writing the three scripts of 'Avatar', calling the process 'groundbreaking'.
James Cameron made an appearance at LA Times' Hero Complex Film Festival on Saturday, May 31 to talk about the "Avatar" sequels and the possibility of "Terminator" getting a 3D treatment. Of the sequels, the director recounted how the three films were written simultaneously and broken out in the style of a TV series.
Cameron said he hired Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, and Shane Salerno as writers for the three upcoming "Avatar" films. He first wrote the 1,500 pages of notes to be used by the writers as the basis of the scripts so that the writing team felt like they were adapting "a novel or series of novels."
Cameron was inspired by television series "Dark Angel" when writing the scripts, saying the process was "a really exciting, creative and groundbreaking experiment in screenwriting." The team "sat in the writing room for five months, eight hours a day, and we worked out every beat of the story across all three films so it all connects as one, sort of, three film saga. And I didn't tell them which one was going to be there's individually to write until the last day. So everyone was equally invested, story wise, in all three films," he said.
The director was eager to start shooting "Avatar 2" but would wait for all three scripts to be completed. He also unveiled the name of the new Disney theme park ride that adapted "Avatar", saying it might be called "Pandora: The Land of Avatar". Cameron elaborated, "It's going to have floating mountains. It's pretty cool. I've seen the model and the design work the Imagineering people have done is spectacular."
As for "Terminator", Cameron thought that it would be too difficult to alter the FX of the first movie, but the second one definitely had a chance. "Terminator 1 I don't think so because you could upgrade it to 3D but it's still pretty gritty, available light photography, low budget filmmaking," he said.
"We'd spend more converting it to 3D than we spent on the movie. That feels a little imbalanced to me. But Terminator 2 is a more polished film and, I think, it has a kind of timeless appeal. ...I'm just using that as an example. I'm just saying we're not ruling it out. We're looking at it."

|Re: MochiWeb, acceptor pool sizes and handoffs
|Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:51:56 GMT
Oddly enough I recently read something about this by an off chance visit to the MochiWeb board. https://groups.google.com/group/mochiweb/msg/df8ed5a5996c468f Sounds like what Paul said is correct. The request comes in and is passed to a process in the pool. A new one is created to take it's place and when the response is sent back the original process just dies in the normal Erlang way. So I guess the pool size is just to help with bursts of traffic to cut down on process startup. Which I have no idea how minor or not that is.

Newcastle Unveils New Vikings Amber Ale
Limited-time offering celebrates third season of "Vikings" on History
Newcastle Brown Ale has teamed up with History to offer a custom-draught beer in celebration of the third season of the "Vikings" series, which premiered late last week.
Available for a limited time in select bars in 10 states, Newcastle Vikings Amber Ale provides a full blend of roasted malts, creating a full-bodied flavor, curbed by a slight bitterness from aromatic German Hallertau Magnum hops. The beer is the second in Newcastle's Collaboration Series.
"We asked the brewmaster at Brand Brewery to imagine he was working with actual Vikings breathing down his neck, to give him some motivation to brew a great beer," said Brett Steen, brand manager for Newcastle, a brand of White Plains, N.Y.-based Heineken USA. "Looks like it worked because he turned out a fantastic, full-flavored ale that's sure to make any Viking a little less angry."
Newcastle's new brew will be supported by original digital shorts, a national marketing campaign and in-bar advertising from both partners.
Vikings Amber Ale is available in California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, South Carolina, Nevada, New York and Pennsylvania.

In the Tuscan-style Shady Canyon home of Michael and Cindy Furst, actor Hershey Felder's incredulous gaze continued to return to an enormous bear trophy on the wall behind him. He couldn't believe it belonged in the same room among rare antiques and stately furniture.
"An antique Torah scroll! From where? Prague? 1800s? And they have a dead bear? Is that what happens when Jews move to Irvine?" he asked to laughter from the crowd.
Of course he was kidding the hostess, a supporter of the Laguna Playhouse who opened her spacious home for the fundraiser starring Felder, whom she clearly adores. To his décor question, she snapped back, "Ask my husband!" Seconds later she had fully recovered from the pretend insult, nattering away at him – wait a sec! – did she just call him "Hershling"?
The two seem to be fast friends, and this was a chance to showcase the actor-musician at a cozy soiree where 125 guests noshed on organic lox with multigrain crackers while they sipped white wine.
Best known for his painstakingly researched one-man shows bringing to life musicians from Beethoven to Bernstein, Felder did a turnabout in this salon. At the piano, he reeled off Gershwin tunes and hit songs from movie musicals, such as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," all interlaced with jokes and anecdotes from his quirky career.
Did you hear the one about a teenage Felder directing a Yiddish production of "Fiddler on the Roof" in Montreal? The actress playing Golde fell ill opening night. But the show went on with Felder: in drag and off book.
"The first time I saw him, I thought, 'Oh, my gosh!' and we saw him again and again," Furst said. "It's our pleasure to have him playing on my piano."
And playing the crowd like a Borscht Belt comic. Felder was funny. Who knew?

LL Cool J
When LL Cool J spat, "Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years" on 1990's Mama Said Knock You Out, he wasn't just telling the truth, he was making hip-hop history. A dozen albums, two Grammy awards, platinum and gold certifications, and countless hits later, he's still here and going strong. This year's Authentic sees not only his return to music after 2009's "NCIS: No Crew Is Superior," but perhaps his most ambitious effort yet. Like the birthday party of a genie's best friend, the record's guest list features Bootsy Collins; Earth, Wind & Fire; Snoop Dogg; Chuck D; and Eddie Van Halen, drawing on each performer's unique talents for a record that plays like a greatest-hits compilation. Authentic hits every note of LL's diverse career, from hard-hitting protest jams such as "Whaddup" to sexy ballads such as "Between the Sheetz."
Ice Cube
One of the founding fathers of gangsta rap, and a former central figure of N.W.A, Ice Cube has been a force to reckon with since 1987's Straight Outta Compton. Over the years, Cube has hit them hard and fast with landscape-shaping jams such as "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted," "Check Yo Self," and "It Was a Good Day." Recent years have seen him adopt a more thoughtful lyrical philosophy without turning his back on his roots. On 2010's I Am the West, he decries the state of up-and-coming artists in tracks such as "No Country for Young Men" and channels Kool Keith punch lines on "She Couldn't Make It On Her Own."
Public Enemy
In the infancy of hip-hop, when the genre was still a niche, rap was a gentler thing. Then Public Enemy rushed the show and altered the architecture of the art form. Ranked as one of the 100 Greatest Artists by Rolling Stone, Public Enemy stirred up controversy by using music as a weapon in critically exalted classics such as It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fear of a Black Planet. They brought the noise with a hardcore sound packed with penetrating beats and samples that pounded like a gong-hitter who traded his mallet for a jackhammer. Hype man Flavor Flav added madness and levity that gave Chuck D's gruff baritone extra sting as he spat lyrics that were urgent, political, critical, and fearless invitations to a revolution. Nearly 30 years since the group's formation, that invitation remains extended.
De La Soul
From the very outset De La Soul was hailed as the future of hip-hop. Combining funk and soul with jazz, reggae, and psychedelia, their 1989 debut, 3 Feet High and Rising, was a gentler alternative to the hardcore rap splashing around the scene at the time. Posdnuos, Trugoy the Dove, and Pasemaster Mase preached peace and love from the beginning, and even as later albums incorporated darker elements, they never quite gave in to gangsta rap. In recent years the trio has been collaborating with artists ranging from MF Doom to the Gorillaz, evincing their status as one of alternative rap's reigning dignitaries and earning a Grammy in the process.
'G-Pass Non-Mobile' callout not found.
St. Augustine Amphitheatre
History is built into the very foundation of St. Augustine Amphitheatre. Built in 1965 to commemorate the city's quadricentennial, the stage immediately began featuring Cross and Sword, a historical drama about the founding of St. Augustine. It was a tradition that continued unbroken for 32 years. In 2002, St. Johns County funded a refurbishing of the amphitheater. Five years later—after upgrading the capacity, constructing a hikeable arboretum, and clearing out lingering conquistadors—the new facility is capable of comfortably hosting up to 4,100 concertgoers.

Google putting $500M towards Moto X marketing
0. phoneArena posted on 10 Jul 2013, 19:07
A new report from The Wall Street Journal is saying that Google is going all in on marketing for the upcoming Motorola Moto X. While Google is still running Motorola as if it were more of a close partner than a division of Google, word has it that Google is "allowing" Motorola to spend up to $500 million on advertising for the flagship device...

You do know that moto isn't known for timely updates rite?
27. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Because Motorola has been known for carrier exclusives, which, by their very nature, are a pain to update.
32. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The only thing that Motorola is really infamous for is their Tegra 2 devices. The Photon, original Atrix, and Droid X2 never made it to ICS because of problems with Tegra, but they couldn't help that. The Bionic Etna never even made it to release. All their OMAP devices released in the same year though are doing just fine.
It was Nvidia's problem, not Motorola's; Motorola just made a bad choice in choosing the SoC, they couldn't predict that they wouldn't be able to support those devices.

The Droid 3 was held back at GB by its lack of RAM, and the Droid 4 got its 4.1 update back in March if I'm not mistaken.
Almost no phone with 512 MB of RAM has ever been updated past 2.3. I think the only one that made it was the Nexus S, but that's because it's a Nexus obviously. A lot of phones can be built with 4.x installed on 512 MB of RAM, but pretty much none can be updated to it.

Motorola also isn't known for releasing devices with heavy Google influence.
52. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
actually i'd say you're wrong there.
they launched the first Android 2.0 phone and the first Android 3.0 tablet. they were pretty much like a Nexus manufacturer in the beginning days of Android's big intro into the market.
51. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
lately they've been pretty damn good with it.
30. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The Moto X's updates will be handled by Google, so no need to worry with that. Also, since Motorola is under Google influence, I wouldn't expect any of their devices (aside from the extremely low end ones that they really shouldn't make in the first place) to get less than 2 major OS updates.
36. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Not that it really means anything, but Google's professed time and again that Motorola will receive no preferential treatment when it comes to software updates.
39. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I didn't mean it as in Google would give Motorola the updates first or something, I mean that Motorola's skin for their own devices is getting very light and close to stock Android, so typically the time that it takes to add things to Android would be shorter than Samsung or HTC's.
53. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
and they wouldn't be.
the Moto X will be equivalent to "Google Edition" devices
but the Moto X will be designed as a "Google Edition" device from the get-go.

You know what I want to do? I want to keep a record of every time you say this bulls**t, as well as the amount of times people go into detailed explanations demonstrating exactly why you're wrong to keep saying this bulls**t.
Your trolling wastes more collective brainpower than showing scientists the Transformers movies and asking them to point out everything wrong with them.

22. darkkjedii (Posts: 24987; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Google should cut that in half, and let the phones performance speak for it.
24. Cha7520 (Posts: 221; Member since: 31 Oct 2010)
Well with lack luster specs of this 2012 phone, you will need $500 Million to get it to sell :-(
25. Ruckus (Posts: 286; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Hmmm.. Motorola and LG have failed miserably as of late and Software Giant Google buys Hardware Company Motorola and are plugging advertising like there is no tomorrow.
A) Generally when Software Companies get into hardware it's a struggle at first.
B) Motorola has had horrible phones as of late. We've had numerous Droid Razr Maxx HDs returned as of late for GS4s.
C) This sounds like something that may agitate Giants such as Samsung and HTC. In my opinion Google shouldn't have bought Motorola. They will surely sabotage the others. No wonder why Samsung is interested in doing Tizen.
Google is an extremely successful company but Motorola has been horrid. Only time will tell if it'll be any good. I for one won't ever buy a Garbage Moto device as long as I live unless I see serious change.
28. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Comparing a Razr Maxx to a GS4 is a bit unfair. That's like comparing a GS3 to a GS4. I don't think their phones have been as bad as their timing has. Last year they released three pretty good devices in the Atrix HD, Razr HD, and Razr Maxx HD. The problem was that the Atrix HD was a carrier exclusive with little fanfare, and the Razrs came out ~six months after their competitors HTC and Samsung had released similar phones.
34. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Motorola's exclusive deals and release dates have been the bane of them. If the Droid Razr was on every major carrier in the U.S, it would have sold a lot more than it has just on Verizon, same for the Razr HD.
The Razr HD really did have good specs, but they released it way too late. By the time the Razr HD came out with the dual core S4 Plus, the Optimus G was already out with the quad core S4 Pro. It would've been fine if they released it in the first half of the year like HTC and Samsung did, but they waited too long.
47. snowgator (Posts: 3604; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Hate losing sleep over specs. I am looking excitedly to this device. My son's Motorola Atrix HD is an underrated gem. I still love the original Droid series.
If I do Android, Motorola is in the short list, right next to Sony and Sammy. Lets see what those add dollars bring.
50. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
oh yeah, this device will sell, sell, sell with those kinds of marketing dollars behind it.
that's always been Samsung's biggest advantage with the sales for particular handsets. the marketing power.
55. biophone (Posts: 1994; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
I think the trick here is once people buy a moto phone to get them keep on buying them. Marketing sure will help to get people to buy there first phone but it needs to be good to get people to keep on buying. Apple and samsung market a bunch sure but there solid products keep people coming back. I think really good battery life will keep people coming on back IMO.
54. flynfree (Posts: 374; Member since: 09 Jun 2013)
I feel something interesting with this device, they will not spend that amount of money for only advertising if there is nothing special with it.
59. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Take some tips from Sammy.
60. najariner (Posts: 24; Member since: 31 Oct 2012)
i think it'll do good. 720p is good enough, the dual core snapdragon s4 is good enough, lets not forget it was the processor in the s3, one X, and the droid razr HDs. It'll perform great, also considering it is running mostly stock android. Plus it looks big enough to house a decent battery, even the 3300mah maxx. 2013 specs don't have any more appeal to the average user than 2012 specs. Marketing will do it much more use. The patriotic angle will help too. I am personally sold. If the price is as attractive as the Nexus 4 (and it should be, with the "sub-par" specs) and Motorola promises timely updates (hopefully), I'm selling my Nexus 4. Although I love it, I want a sturdy device more.
61. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3817; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
It's actually rumored to be an S4 Pro, the processor in the Droid DNA & Xperia Z, so it's even better than that.

Thunder's Place: increasing penis size one dick at a time.
The big penis and mens' sexual health source, increasing penis size around the world.
Thunder's Place: increasing penis size one dick at a time.
Many thanks for this.. Something to keep in mind, defnitely!
Years later, through the use of cutting edge breakthrough natural penis enlarging exercises, I have now increased my penis size by 4 inches to date… blah blah blah….
After doing much research and development, I have just produced arguably one of the most extreme penis enlargement programs in existence .. You simply follow the techniques & exercises inside the Grow Your Penis Fast program and it starts to add inches to your penis at the quickest rate physically possible, just by using them for just minutes a day. These same exercises save you countless hours and thousands of dollars on penis enlargement pills & surgery.. Simple yet powerful you might say?
Or you might say….. :spam:
In three weeks, I have gained 1 inch in girth and 1 inch in length…..
Uhh…..I sense a ban coming extremely soon lol..
Dude, you must be psychic!
Running a Massive Co-Front.
I've been doing the newbie routine, adding 3 mins every week up to 30 mins of jelqing this week, for two months. I've noticed my morning wood is gone, but my EQ seems fine. Is this normal? I'm also taking some suppliments.
I am new to PE. I've read this thread today and its quite worrying.. But what about regular masturbation.. Some people masturbate between 3 and 10 times aday and apply significant force on the penis.. For years and years.. A penis is designed to withstand quite alot of abuse in its lifetime (swimming in cold rivers, hot Jacuzzi, sex, masturbation, sleeping on it, getting soccer ball kicked at it and WHAT NOT.). Maybe what these people have is a TICKING TIME BOMB.. If the valves are in such a fragile state, surely eventually at some point, the penis will FAIL, whether through PE, masturbation, random injury or whatever.. Do we have anymore information on this?
*When I say PE, I'm exclusively talking about jelqing
Would it make sense to grip the penis in such a way as it doesn't exert too much pressure on the dorsal vein?
Offering my two cents, though this is only post number 3 for me.
I feel like this thread is important, as a thorough knowledge of the risks involved is a key part of making the decision to do (or not do) something, like attempting PE. That said, it's easy to fall into a panic when you think that there is a non-zero probability that your dick will stop working from something that appears safe.
Because panicking about your dick is totally understandable, and because a thorough description of risks is of the utmost importance, having some measured reasoning about what exactly is going on in these cases seems crucial. For this, I think everyone should read at least the first post of the threat memento linked to above. It offers some great perspective. Also remember that for most of us medical language can sound TERRIFYING but describe something normal. For example: a paper cut can be called a "dermal rupture" without being technically wrong.
That is not to say don't be concerned; above all take care of your dick. Just be thorough, rational, and don't panic.
My thoughts:
The genesis of this thread seems to be that some newbies after trying jelqing (or the newbie routine) for the first time experienced sudden, persistent ED. In light of that it seems like there have been two hypotheses put forward:
(1) Natural, genetic valve deformations that cause vascular tissues to be much weaker than they would be normally. This weakness means that valves that normally would not rupture due to PE do, in fact, rupture, causing long-lasting impotence.
(2) Venous leakage resulting from trauma.
I have some doubts about (1). I have two arguments. The first is evolutionary: depending on scale, a species that has any significant probability of malformed genitals - at least malformed in a way that sex and masturbation could lead to permanent impotence is unlikely to survive. I know that congenital penile deformities exist, but the idea of having an apparently functioning dick that will randomly one stop working one day doesn't make much evolutionary sense. Of course, I could be wrong.
The second is that if this disease DOES exist with some non zero probability, modern urology would know about it and have a better way to test for it.
For those who contend that this does exist I have some thoughts: it would be interesting to know the ages of those reporting the PE-induced impotence. If they're older guys who are smokers, out of shape, etc. Who already have some vascular issues, this could just be the straw that breaks the camel's back, not the proximate cause of their issue. There are so many potential causes of ED (again, see the post memento linked to) that supposing an undiscovered defect seems unlikely.
For me, the plethora of possible causes & contributing factors makes it hard to accept that the disease exists. It also feels like an over simplification to think of PE as flipping a coin that, 99.9999% of tosses comes up without sudden, incurable impotence.
Hypothesis (2) seems plausible, particularly in light of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venous_leak (surprised this hasn't been posted yet) and this: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-l…is/art-20045363. That said, Sue Johnson's urologist doesn't seem to think jelqing can cause major harm: http://talksexwithsue.com/jelqing.php. The fact that jelqing CAN hurt you is not news. It seems to be that this particular kind of hurting you (impotence ex nothing, if you will) is what is new.
If you're very worried, if you can, go to a urologist and tell them about jelqing, and ask for their own thorough assessment of the risks. If you can't see if you can contact a urologist online.
I don't want to belittle or demean those who have an injury. If you're dick stops working and a bunch of people say "that's because you did it wrong," you're going to feel shitty.
All that said, can we maybe come up some action items for people suffering from this weird condition? What are the best next steps if you try the newbie routine and this happens to you? I'll leave that to the vets.
For those suffering with glans not getting hard along with the rest of the penis, this thread may be of some interest: DMSO + Iodine Experimental Treatment for Deflated Glans and Firm Flaccid
With that also read this: http://www.peyroniesforum.net/index.php/topic,39.0.html It's very informative. The Peyronie forums are pretty informative when it comes to healing, even if it is focused on one particular kind of injury.
DMSO carries a lot of things through the skin, most of which you don't want entering your tissues. On page four of the Peyronie forum link you can find a list of potentially therapeutic substances that can and cannot be transported through the skin. As always, read and be careful. DMSO is not a medically recognized treatment.
Maybe what these people have is a TICKING TIME BOMB.. If the valves are in such a fragile state, surely eventually at some point, the penis will FAIL, whether through PE, masturbation, random injury or whatever..
al up fine and in a few weeks are back at it much wiser for the experience. WE have guys gain from freaky, overly intense routines that would break most guys pee-pees for ever.
Running a Massive Co-Front.
On some further consideration, venous leakage seems like the only culprit here. I would love to see some age data on these cases, as it seems like venous leakage tends to happen to younger men. Maybe these are cases of the onset of venous leakage happening at an accelerated pace because of jelqing.
What if there was a minimum suggested age for PE, say 25? It would allow PE practitioners to fully develop their tissues before beginning to modify them, running less risk of permanent injury?
I know this is a big and radical suggestion, but it's just an idea that may protect some younger newbies.
Hey I think I may have this problem. Can anyone Private Massage me please. An experienced person who can understand and advice me to get to know and heal what's wrong with me. Please taxt me whomever think can help me. I feel so bad
Start a thread.
Thunder's Place: increasing penis size one dick at a time.
I never started a thread but let me try to. Thanks
Damn! This is really scary!
I was already concerned about PE safety before reading this now I worry even more.
Is it possible to go to a urologist and get an ultrasound to see if the valves are okay or is this not possible?
And if a person had bad valves then would wearing a cock ring also cause problems?
And what about stretching exercises where you do not jelq? Are they safe or also dangerous?

If you thought Little Mix's book, Our World, was eye-opening, just wait until you hear the details about Zayn Malik's autobiography.
Just as Jade Thirlwall used her group's novel to share emotional details about her past struggle with anorexia, the 23-year-old spoke about the eating disorder he suffered from during his days with One Dirction in Zayn, his first official book that comes out tomorrow.
According to someone who got access to the story early, the "Pillowtalk" crooner admitted to battling an eating disorder at the end of 2014 and still finds it hard to look at pictures of himself from that time. Here's what ZM looked like during that period:
Zayn was talking about how had an eating disorder towards the end of 2014 and then I see these pics. I feel sick ): my baby pic.twitter.com/StGbXL0cd6
— kelsey met niall (@moonroselarry) October 28, 2016
Gigi Hadid's boyfriend also talks about the debilitating anxiety he's faced since performing with 1D in the book, and talked about the time he had to pull out of a massive gig because he physically couldn't make it to the stage.
"I just couldn't go through with it," he explained. "Mentally, the anxiety had won. Physically, I knew I couldn't function. I would have to pull out…Anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of; it affects millions of people every day. I know I have fans out there who have been through this kind of thing, too, and I wanted to be honest for their sake, if nothing else."
Despite the struggles he faced as a member of one of the most popular bands of all time, Zayn says he is still very "proud" of everything the Brits accomplished together.
"I can honestly say I'm proud of a lot of stuff from the One Direction days. I'm not sure people realize that, but I am. I've got the memorabilia — the platinum discs we received with every album — all over my house. I have a wall dedicated to displaying them. One Direction was an incredible experience in its own right, and it's a part of me, an integral part of my history, and I'm never going to deny that aspect of my life."
We are so proud of Zayn for opening up about this incredibly personal and sensitive topic!
These 9 other male stars also battled an eating disorder:
Tyler Oakley
Tyler happens to be one of the funniest guys on YouTube, but unbeknownst to his fans, he was privately struggling with an eating disorder. He told Seventeen, "Talking about it is really hard because it's something I suppress and work through every day." And he also added, "I haven't really talked about body image in videos. I assume when people read this, they'll be like, 'Oh, you're not fat.' That's not what it's about at all. Even when I was the skinniest I'd ever been, I was still not happy."
Tyler talked about his experience in his autobiography, Binge, and told Out magazine that he feels his story can help other people who have been through it.

In 2007, Eminem overdosed on pills and ended up in rehab. He also became overweight (230 pounds) because because he constantly ate food to avoid the stomach aches his pills caused. So when he finally got out of rehab, he became obsessed with losing the weight he gained.
He told Men's Journal, "I would get up in the morning, and before I went to the studio, I would run eight and a half miles in about an hour. Then I'd come home and run another eight and a half. I started getting OCD about the calories, making sure I burned 2,000 every day. In the end I got down to about 149 pounds. I ran to the point where I started to get injured."
But thankfully, Eminem took a step back from the treadmill and started to do safer workouts without going to the extreme.

Russell Brand
Russell grew up as an only child who was overweight, so his loneliness and depression actually caused him to start vomiting and binge-eating at a young age. He told Daily Mail, "I was bulimic when I was 14, I had problems with food and self-harming. I've always had these odd compulsive traits looking for an outlet. It's awful to be bulimic, but I lost a whole lot of weight when I needed to."
But just when he thought he overcame it, his bulimia returned when he went to drug rehab as an adult. Thankfully, he recovered and is now in great health.

Caleb Followill
Kings of Leon's lead singer, Caleb, battled anorexia when he was a teenager. In an interview with Q magazine, he said, "I always thought I wasn't good enough," and he said that he would do "anything to keep my hands and mouth busy without eating."
But surprisingly, he began to overcome his anorexia when he started smoking marijuana (apparently because it gave him the munchies). He was no longer obsessed with losing weight, but instead, he had his sights on getting buff. He told Q, "I want to look like I can defend myself. I want a guy to look at me in a bar and know that he can't talk sh*t to me or run me over, even though he probably could."
Photo: WENN
Ashley Hamilton
In 2013, Ashley opened up to People about his struggle with bulimia and anorexia. He told People, "I believe it was my problem before I got into drugs and alcohol. I used the drugs and alcohol to control the food addiction."
But thankfully he sought help, although he admitted that he hasn't recovered completely as yet. He said, "With food it's not black and white. It's, 'Oh, my behavior around food has been better this month.' You can't live without food. You're surrounded by food constantly and you have to eat. There are so many people in our country suffering from this. It's an emotional problem and that's been the struggle for me through sobriety."

Billy Bob Thornton
Billy Bob lost 59 pounds for a role in the movie U-Turn, but then he developed anorexia in real life. He said, "I think I had a little mental problem. I got anorexic; of course, I denied it to my girlfriend and everyone else who said I had an eating disorder."
But as of now, Billy Bob is fully recovered and in much better health.
Photo: WENN
Dennis Quaid
In the film Wyatt Earp, Dennis had to play a character who was dying from tuberculosis, so he actually lost 40 pounds for the role. However, it turns out that he was really suffering from anorexia. He told People, "I'd look in the mirror and still see a 180-lb. guy, even though I was 138 pounds." He also admitted, "My arms were so skinny that I couldn't pull myself out of a pool."
But on a brighter note, Dennis was able to recover and is back to a healthier weight.

Al Roker
When he was just 15, Al saw Bill Cosby's Fat Albert on TV and it caused him to get concerned about his body image. He said, "It was the embodiment of me: a fat black guy who is the center of attention and the butt of jokes." This caused him to fall into the habit if binge eating. He mentioned, "I'd get into a funk, so I'd eat more."
But then, as he grew up, he continued to gain a lot of weight, reaching 340 pounds before he tried to get it under control. After an unsuccessful gastric bypass surgery, he finally turned to a friend for help and went on a strict diet.
As of now, Al is fully recovered and healthy. He said on The Today Show, "I'm thrilled that I've finally got to this place at 58 years old. I finally got it figured out. I feel good about it."

Elton John
Elton suffered from bulimia for over 16 years. In his interview with Larry King, he revealed that he was in denial and he thought he could get better on his own. However, he soon realized that he needed help.
He was eventually able to recover in rehab and with the support of his friend, the late Princess Diana, who struggled with the same disorder. He told USA Today, "It was so nice to talk to someone — 'Oh, you did that too?' … It helps you feel not so bad about yourself, and it's a little bit of camaraderie."

"Femoral Acetabular Impingement with Labral tear"
About: NHS South Central NHS South Central Portsmouth City Teaching PCT Portsmouth City Teaching PCT Southsea PO4 8LD Queen Alexandra Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics Queen Alexandra Hospital Trauma and orthopaedics PO6 3LY
Posted by J3nni386 (as ),
I too have been diagnosed with FAI pincer type by a consultant at QA hospital. Had xrays and MRI arthsogram to diagnose. I was told I needed the Arthroscopy but that the PCT deem it low priority and will not fund it. I am trying to get on with my life as a busy mum and student nurse.
I was diagnosed 5 years ago now and am still struggling on, with no hope of getting treatment on the NHS. I have to take daily analgesics to get on with my life and I am extremely fed up now. I see my GP for check ups every so often, but just feel useless, and hate having to take time off work, or not be able to do activities with my son because my hips are playing up. I am currently having to take 100mg slow release tramadol in the morning and 150mg slow release tramadol in the evening, and self medicating on the worst days with extra co-codamol. It should not be like this. I am only 27 years old. I fear that if I do not get this sorted soon I will end up not being able to work, walk, or carry out daily activities with out help. I hope someone can sort this out.
Response from Queen Alexandra Hospital 3 years ago
I was sorry to hear about your ongoing concerns with regard treatment. You are right to report that it is the PCT ( now Clinical Commissioning Groups) that decide what treatments will be funded and not the acute providers. It may be helpful to contact the PALS Service for your CCG. I am sorry but as I do not know where you live I cannot signpost you but your GP should be able to.

Don't you hate it when you come home from a rough day at work, you're dead tired, and all you want to do is relax in front of the tv just to veg for a few minutes, but you can't because the kids are watching Nickelodeon or Disney Channel. If they're older, then they're most likely playing video games. That's absolutely the last thing you need right now. What you can do is just get them their own tv for their own room that way you can watch whatever it is you want to watch: sports, news, or a movie. The Samsung UN50H6203 50 inch LED tv might be the right television for your kids' room. It's only 50 inches which is perfect for a kids bedroom. Although it is a Samsung tv which is always a good choice for tvs, it's quite inexpensive because it's a smaller tv. Realistically, you don't want to be spending too much on a high-end tv just for a secondary tv for your kids' room. If the size is right for you, then you might want to take a look at the Samsung UN50H6201 50" tv which is a viable alternative.

Today we visit the sprawling estate located in Ipswich, Massachusetts known as Castle Hill. Once owned by Mr. and Mrs. Richard T. Crane, the estate encapsulates finely coiffed landscapes, over twenty outbuildings, and a majestic mansion. Massachusetts is also home to jewelry design team Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg.
Oftentimes I forget that jewelry design and creation is as much a cerebral act as it is an act of instinct.
For me, the heart of creativity seems to lie within a deeper, intangible space that is not necessarily connected to the unambiguous functions of the intellect.
However, such jewelry artists as Marty Reynard (USA) and Simon Cottrell (Australia) are great examples of the inherent structured, almost scientific, quality of this art form. Rosenkrantz and Louis-Rosenberg's jewelry brand Nervous System is a fantastic representation of the keen intellectualism of jewelry making.
The designers met while attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) no less with Rosenkrantz studying architecture and biology, while Louis-Rosenberg majored in mathematics. They launched their company in 2007, two years after graduation.
"We are attracted to complex and unconventional geometries. Jessica is more interested in the interactions between forms and process," says Louis-Rosenberg, "My interest is in creating our designs in an open-source way using affordable and ethical manufacturing methods."
To create their unusual designs, the duo enlists graphic designer John Maeda's program called Processing to cultivate patterns that are "grown" using algorithms. Selective Laser Sintering and etching are implemented to produce these intricate patterns in tangible forms that mimic plant cells, honeycomb, dendrites, and sea anemones.
An array of materials including 24-karat gold plated stainless steel, nylon, silicone rubber, stainless steel, and wool felt are used to construct ethereal yet complex earrings, bracelets, and pendant necklaces.
I like that many of the lacy designs are patterned after the building blocks of the natural world, like cells, as opposed to something like a leaf or flower. However, their Orchid Necklace is a stunning floral depiction of over fifty layers of sculpted stainless steel.
It is interesting that our inner space so to speak mirrors the outside world; outstretched tree branches are not unlike the spidery veins of our nervous system. It is all very poetic and lyrical with elements of transience and no sense of creepiness.
"Our inspiration is grounded in the natural forms and processes that construct our world, this is an essential ingredient to our design process. Our trajectory focuses on creating innovative products," says Louis-Rosenberg.
"The generative aspect of our design process allows us to also create mass, custom-made patterns," says Louis-Rosenberg.
"Our studio exploits this by releasing our work online as a series of interactive applets that customers can use to craft personalized jewelry products."
