FIRST, stop trying to contact them if you are not one hundred percent sure of how to deal with debt collectors. Do some reading on PAY FOR DELETE AGREEMENTS and do some reading on how to deal with debt collectors if you havent done so yet. Do some reading on the FDCPA (fair debt collection practices act) and contact an attorney that handles FDCPA cases if you feel it necessary. As said you can dispute it and hope that it works.

It's not every day that our featured food truck of the week cooks up a fancy steak for us, but trust us, we're not complaining!
Today, we're going uber-gourmet with the Flatiron Truck.
But we're not just noshing on red meat, we're also going fresh with delicious farmers market produce!
Flatiron Truck owner Tim talked to our very own Carson about why he joined the SoCal food truck fad:
Tim has established a significant career for himself in the food industry. He used to work at LA favorites Joe's, The Hungry Cat, The Water Grill, and Wilshire, so cooking was nothing new to him when the Flatiron Truck launched this past March.
He's always wanted to open up his own restaurant, but Tim decided to start off small and test out his concept on the truck first.
The mantra of the Flatiron Truck is farm-to-street food. This means Tim scours the local farmers markets in search of the freshest ingredients.
And while they always serve their namesake steak, the menu constantly rotates to reflect what is in season.
For example, today they also brought us challa french toast, pork burgers, and cauliflower tacos!
Time is of the essence, so Tim also incorporates high-end techniques like sous vide to cook the steaks fast on the truck.
Carson has his own sous vide set-up at home, so of course he geeked out when he heard that!
Part of the Food Truck Friday fun is sharing it with you guys out there, so Carson selected one very lucky caller to receive a free lunch courtesy of the Flatiron Truck.
Congratulations to today's winner! They and their entire office are getting hooked up with a delicious lunch!
For those of you who'd like to visit the Flatiron Truck on your own time, check out their website or follow them on Twitter!

ConEdison Solutions is supplying electricity to the West Orange Township Community Energy Aggregation (WOCEA), an aggregation of all residential customers in the Township of West Orange, NJ.
The WOCEA program has been structured to provide residential customers with savings on their energy supply purchases at a minimum of risk.
Eligible residential customers are automatically enrolled in the program, but have the ability to opt out by submitting a request to the Township. They also have the option to choose budget billing. Eligible customers are those who do not have a contract with a third-party electricity supplier.
The term of the aggregation contract is March 2014 - December 2015. Under the aggregation, our contracted fixed price is approximately 9.5% below the average current rate of PSE&G, the town's electric utility.
Over the 21-month period, the typical West Orange Township resident will realize annual cost savings estimated at about $120 by joining the municipal aggregation.

Ford's locally produced cars have all but driven off a cliff, plummeting in the latest sales charts released today, raising questions about the continued viability of its local manufacturing.
Ford Australia managed to sell just 1331 Falcons in May, a drop of 59.1 per cent, or 1927 fewer cars sold than the same month a year ago, according to official VFACTS car sales figures.
In May, the low sales figure means the Falcon has snared just 23 per cent of the sub-$70,000 large car market.
So far this year, Ford has sold 7236 Falcons, about half of the number it sold in the first five months of 2010, a drop of 45.8 per cent.
The Falcon's dismal sales performance has handed Holden's Commodore 60 per cent of the market segment.
And it gets worse for the Blue Oval.
Sales of the once-mighty Territory SUV family wagon have whittled down to a trickle too.
Last month Ford sold just 480 Territorys, less than half of the 1056 it sold in May 2010, giving it less than 9 per cent of the medium-sized SUV market, in which it once competed strongly against Toyota's Prado and Kluger.
Combined, sales of Ford's locally made cars have slumped 55 per cent against its sales in May last year, dropping from 5179 in May 2010 to 2,331 last month.
Taking the longer view of sales so far this year, locally made Fords have dropped to 13,288 sales against 21,873 for the same period a year ago, a decline of almost 40 per cent.
The poor results raise questions whether Ford's local manufacturing operations are viable at these levels, despite the company recently reporting a $24.9 million after-tax profit for the year to December 2010, after receiving government assistance valued at $100.8 million.
The bulk of the $100.8 million government subsidy came as credits from the federal government's Automotive Competitiveness and Investment Scheme (ACIS), as well as grants from the now-halted Green Car Innovation Fund, and the Victorian government.
''We've already announced a new production rate which will take effect in mid-July. We believe that the new rate will match production to market demand so we don't foresee any further changes at this stage,'' said Ford spokeswoman Sinead McAlary.
Ford is pinning hopes on its new Falcon and Territory updates, which may boost sales.
''Falcon sales...continue to be affected by a decline in the large car segment and we're also affected by a lack of LPG, which typically makes up approximately 25 per cent of our model mix,'' Ms McAlary said.
''Territory numbers were low because we're virtually out of the old model. The new model started shipping to dealers this week so it'll be the end of this month or July before we see those sales come through but we have a significant order bank and dealers have experienced a high level of interest,'' she said.
''After the launch of Territory, EcoLPi and Falcon EcoBoost we could in fact have to increase production.''
The results rained on the day Ford previewed its new generation imported Focus small car, which is due soon in showrooms.
Holden meanwhile scored a rare victory over Toyota Australia, outselling the Japanese colossus last month.
For the first time since March 2005, Holden outsold Toyota, with 11,115 cars leaving showrooms last month, edging out Toyota with 11,044 sold.
Hyundai snared third spot with 7,444 vehicles sold.
Holden's Commodore was the number one seller it its category and overall last month, with 3504 sold.
Holden had the second-highest selling passenger car, too, with its Cruze (now in local production) with 2,914 finding new owners in May.
The sales were a mix of the previous Series I Cruze made in Korea, but a Holden spokeswoman said the majority were Series II cars made in Adelaide.
Toyota attributed its slip to second spot on supply shortages as a result of the devastating tsunami that followed the earthquake in Japan.
Its Altona and Thailand plants have been on 3-day-a-week production schedules and some Japanese auto suppliers had no output at all.
The Altona and Thailand plants were due to resume full production now, a spokesman said.
Top 10 sellers May 2011
1. Holden Commodore 3,504
2. Toyota Hilux 3,162
3. Holden Cruze 2,914
4. Mazda3, 2,797
5. Hyundai i30 2,479
6. Nissan Navara 1,983
7. Volkswagen Golf 1,864
8. Hyundai Getz 1,730
9. Ford Ranger 1,520
10. Toyota Camry (4 cyl) 1,499

A truly amazing Tomato Soup at Fuze in downtown Banff started us off for a wonderful, eclectic, ethnic culinary tour. The cream based soup had just the right amount of sweetness accented with smoked bacon and a spoonful of pesto cream but I could not place the one ingredient. I found out later it was Liquid Smoke...I would have never guessed.
It was a quiet night at the restaurant at what must be the off season in this spectacular local. Only a few tables so we received lots of attention. Great help on the wine menu which was quite extensive.
So many interesting choices that we wanted to try so we just split many different menu items. The origins for each seemed to come from all over the world, Roasted Tomato Soup, Seared Calamari in Pesto on Rissotto. Thai Spiced Prawn Salad on Pappadum (sp?) and we finished with a NY steak with Indian spices. All were kind of on the rich side but flavorful and we savored every bite. My only regret was that they would have served each item individually rather than all the apps at once but it was our fault for not making that clear to the server.
The Happy Birthday chocolate sweetened the deal for a great evening.
(They also offer a fun, well organized cooking class which I attended days later and found out the secret ingredient of the soup)
Another night on our trip we tried the Maple Leaf Grill. Also a great find.
It was a Sat. night and the place was busy with great energy. Here, we both wanted the same item and were thrilled with our choice of the Apple-Crusted Pork Tenderloin. Watch out though........the chocolate soufle is really served at 400 degrees......my burnt tongue wished I had listened to the warning. Service was excellent too and she really knew her wines.
Banff may be a National Park but with restaurants like these, we sure weren't "roughing it."

Reviewed by Michael G. on 10/25/2017
Would they buy this item again? Yes
I bought this to compare with Ironx. It works equally well as Ironx. Ferrex also does the added job of removing tar which is nice. It does still have that infamous iron scent that smells terrible. I still find Ironx to work faster and stay wetter longer.
Reviewed by Matt G. on 4/14/2015
Would they buy this item again? Yes
I bought this to try an iron remover along side CarPro's IronX. I learned that a little goes a long way. It is expensive but it does help loosen the decontaminates before using my clay mitt. I sprayed, let sit, used the clay mitt to spread around and let sit for another few minutes. It worked as advertised. However when it came to heavily soiled wheels, IronX worked better. It would let me to believe that IronX is a little more potent.
Reviewed by BUSTER H. on 4/6/2015
Would they buy this item again? Yes
The purchase of this product was done with some scepticism. The price I believe is high for the size of the bottle. My truck is a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 four door and the color is white. I wet down each panel individually sprayed one panel at a time. I could see the Optimum FerreX Iron Remover working as the instructions claim. The iron is being eaten by the color of the spray turning purple. A smoother feel of the finish remains. After the FerreX sits a few minutes I wash with a wool mit and Megs yellow off the shelf detergent. Thus far I have been able to treat my truck two times and my wife's gold colored Durango once. The bottle has about a quarter fluid remaining. Using Optimum FerreX Iron Remover, one must be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove the spray or you will have noticeable streaks on your finish. I would recommend this brand to anyone wishing to have a smoother feel after washing.

The more i reae about healing, the more I realize that I am more hindering, than helping, my successful recovery. I cooked dnner the other nite and the dispoal backed up on me. I cleaned that out whch also took care of the stagnate water n my dshwasher. Then today after cleanng up after last's dinner, i made breakfast for the oln man. As I was draing the kithcen sink, I could hear the toilet bubblng. Not a big deal, the tolet flushed just fne. Than at about 6 pm I took a stool softener and ran my bath. Not only did the tub back up, the toilet s threatenng to overflow. Why couldn't it have done this while ws constipated? Now I'm trying to hold my loosening bowels...whch is very painful. Has anyone elso encountered this and what are my options? Melodie
Sep 26, 2010 - 11:11 am
Sorry Melodie! I totally understand how big a problem this is for you! I guess if I were in your situation I would do 3 things. 1) Get some Depends (I know the thought of that sounds awful, but what choice do you have if you are in a house with backed up plumbing?), 2) See if you can go spend some time with a friend or relative, 3) Call a plumber!
I'm not in any way making light of your situation. I do not have a toilet in my basement and I can't tell you how many times in the last 2+ years I have raced up those stairs, only to not make it to the bathroom in time. It's not funny. I hope you get this all straightened out real soon.
Sep 26, 2010 - 3:03 pm
I so remember having to run my butt off to get downstairs at work so that I could expel in a single person bathroom, in privacy. Because I didn't want to share the 2 stall/commode bathroom with clients, I raced down the stairs...when I'd get to the hallway where the bathroom was, everyone knew what I was rushing for and they were pleasant enough to get the heck outta my way. It does get better, but I still have a day or two once every other week or so that I have to make a run for it, and sometimes I almost don't make it. So, like Martha says, wear the Depends, or stage yourself close to the bathroom if that's possible during those loose days. Either way, call the plumber...backups are no fun...I've had them with our septic system and it's kinda gross to know all that yuck just backed up into the bathtub...I cannot clean the tub enough to think it's sanitary to bathe in knowing how easily contracted an infection can be. I clean the bathtub 3 times with Lysol foam cleaner each time I clean it just because I don't want to miss any nook or cranny in the tub. Ranelle
Sep 26, 2010 - 5:35 pm
OMG Melodie, I don't know what I would do. As it is I have a small nervous breakdown if I do not know where a toilet is when visiting friends or out in public. I don't venture out much or far yet because of this. I agree, best bet is to have depends on you 'just in case' and get a plumber out there if possible. I know for awhile I wore depends going back and forth to treatment because the ride was 45 minutes on good days, longer with traffic and I was always afraid I'd have an accident. It's Murphy's Law...this won't happen when you are constipated...only when you need to go and go NOW. Hope things clear up (both toilet issue and personal issue) by the time you get this post. Mariyne
Sep 27, 2010 - 8:00 pm
I think I have everything under control finally as far as drainage (in my home, not so much in me, LOL). I go for my 1st post radiation check up tomorrow, am a little nervous, cuz I am still in pain down there, plus my weight has only picked up 4 pounds in 3 weeks. I was hoping to at least be up to 90, but I'm still at 85. Maybe he can give me something to help increase my weight. Wish me luck, will check in tomorrow pm with news. Melodie
Sep 27, 2010 - 10:30 pm
Hi Melodie--
I'm glad the plumbing problems in your home are fixed. Now if you could just get everything else fixed, eh? You will, so don't get discouraged. I hope your appt. tomorrow goes well. You definitely could use a few pounds if you are still at 85. I would recommend some Andes Mint cheesecake, which is what I ate for dessert when out with friends tonight. If that won't do it, nothing will! Seriously, I hope you are on the road to recovery now. Please let us know what you find out from your appt. Take care.
Sep 28, 2010 - 6:14 pm
I too hope all is okay with you. My first radiation appointment after radiation was uneventful, they did not do much but look to see how the healing was going. The last one I had though she did an exam and while it hurt a tiny bit it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I think we are so 'sensitized' to that area with all the issues and pain that we don't want anyone near it. Keep us posted on what they say. Good to hear the 'leakage' issues in your house has resolved...one down, one to go. lol. Be well, Marilyne
Sep 28, 2010 - 10:20 pm
Well, my appointment was also pretty uneventful. He said my outside skin is healing nicely, without actually going inside to look, he said my sphinxter (sp?) is healing slower than he'd like. He says probably due to lifting and crap I'm not supposed to do. My inside exam with my oncologist s day after tomorrow, and though I'm not looking forward to the poking and probing, I know it has to be done. Dr. Chiu says another couple of weeks. Marilyne, I'm kinda tracking my progress against yours, so I'm not doing too badly. Fatigue is still kicking my ***, but now that the house is at least livable, I am taking it easier. And I actually ate an entire meal tonight. Thanks for all the well wishes. Melodie
Sep 29, 2010 - 9:36 am
I'm glad to hear that your appt. went well and that your one on Friday does too. I feared the first rectal exam after treatment too, but it was not bad. Continue to take it easy and let yourself recover. Please let us know how Friday goes.
Sep 30, 2010 - 3:44 pm
Melodie, you pushed yourself and did a lot more than I did after my treatment ended. I'm now about starting week 7 I think from radiation...and to be honest I have noticed a lot more energy in this last week than previous weeks. I still get tired and have to rest here and there but I can do more in between...you should start seeing some more energy soon if not already. Having some hip and leg aching (right) and I'm assuming that might be from radiation although I was bad and did some light lifting and cleaning up the basement area so maybe I strained myself a little bit. Have a little bit of pain when I go potty but not much anymore - I just go about 3x a day, mostly in the morning hours. I've learned to 'listen' to my body - when I am tired I rest, regardless of what has to be done or not. The house isn't going anywhere and neither are the dust bunnies, they can be taken care of tomorrow or the next day when you feel stronger. Be kind to yourself. Good that you ate an entire meal! Marilyne
Oct 02, 2010 - 12:47 pm
Melodie (or anyone) - having accelerated heartbeat (up to 144 beats per minute) if I do a little bit like dust or do some dishes...nothing strenuous but heart beats quite fast. Anyone else notice that after treatment? I had two EKGs and they did not see anything but it still concerns me. I may call my oncologist next week and just mention it again to be on the safe side. Marilyne
Oct 02, 2010 - 1:45 pm
Are you anemic? I had that happen to me when my red blood count was very low prior to treatment.
Oct 06, 2010 - 6:46 pm
Hi Martha - I don't think so...probably should have another blood test done. I don't have an appt until Nov 8th and will have bloodwork done then. I always thought one who loses a lot of blood is anemic but can one be anemic without that? I noticed mine after the second round of chemo was done. Marilyne

Hi, Marilyne,
I was in the hospital for the vats procedure and my blood pressure was great, but my heart beats per minute, did get up to 144 when I walked. They prescribed low pressure, (blood pressure Med), because of my lung surgery my heart was stressed. I suggest taking your time in movement, but certainly let your dr know asap.
I know after the anal cancer tx, I would get easily winded and have to rest after each task, so I would imagine my heart had been stressed at that time too.
I wish you well, Lori.
Oct 03, 2010 - 12:57 am
Yes, I anemic, and I also haven't found out how to relax and take the docs orders yet. I cooked lasagna tonight for friends, they finally left at 11:45 pm. Tomorrow I have to watch Bug-a-boo while Marcel plays hs 2nd to the last soccer game. Bug-a-boo is 7 weeks old. My husband is no help whatsoever in the day to day upkeep of the house...I'm getting used to it, I'm just so tired. If I lay down to take a nap, or if I sleep in on the am'd, he's got to wake me up. I guess we take the good with the bad. Melodie
Oct 06, 2010 - 7:05 pm
Hey Melodie - Ah, finding out how to relax...I'm still learning but getting better at it. Easier said than done but it can be done. The key is not to put yourself under stress or pressure, but it sounds like your hubby is somewhat similar to mine so that makes it a tad bit harder. I've learned to ignore some things (not everything) but enough to not feel overwhelmed by things that are supposed to get done that no one else but me does. I take it slow. If it gets done, it gets done, if not...it will get done tomorrow. Just because we are walking upright and seemingly 'well' does not mean that everything is healed. It takes me 3x as long to wash my kitchen floor and hallway as I rest in between sections. I put a sign on the door with all the chores that should be done and both my son and husband saw it and said "okay, we will help out" -- have they? Heck no.
When my brother came out to see me (as a surprise my son and DIL put together) my husband suddenly was cleaning the guest bathroom, vacuuming the stairs and main floor and I thought hmmmm, never did this in 30 years, why is he doing this now? He was really cranky about it too! I think my son told him he would NEVER speak to him again if he told me my brother was coming but he also knew if the house was a mess, HE would be blamed as my brother and sister in law knew I could not clean...lol. I think I enjoyed that fact more than I enjoyed my sibling out visiting me and I loved that! I think, like me, Melodie, you are going to have to relax your expectation of your house and what should or shouldn't be done, at least for now. And if hubby is pressuring, he will also need to relax his expectations. Hopefully hubby is like mine where he doesn't really care how clean the house is and does not pressure me that way but I pressure myself. Do you do that to yourself? Breaking that habit is hard but...if you learn to relax with that, the rest can follow. I listen to music (not necessarily soothing either, love some alternative music and even rap (Ice Cube) and find that relaxes me. There has to be something that relaxes you. I'm not an easy one to relax either but I found ways to do so here and there. I firmly believe as part of our healing, relaxing and being not stressed is very important.

Hey Sissy, Yes, your story is so close to mine it's almost eerie. My thing about keeping the house clean comes from the past 11 years that I was on the road, and my house would be filthy after 3 weeks of me being gone. Now that we've moved and it's a clean start, I don't want to see it happen again. But again, Trace is no help. He doesn't let me nap when I'm tired, he asks me at 10:30 pm to make cupcakes or brownies or cookies, and since I'm not working outside the home at this point, I feel obligated. But I am sooooo tired. He's going to New York on Monday to finish up a job and I can't wait. I'll have at least a week of quiet time. I went like 4 days with no pain when I when to the bathroom, now it's back. Not near as bad, but enough to irritate me. This too, shall end...no. Good night to all. Melodie
Oct 07, 2010 - 1:41 pm
My hubby travels too, not as much as he used to but I tend to enjoy him being gone as well...less pressure, although I do not have the same pressure you have with Trace. You must have spoiled him before all this and unfortunately he got used to that and probably expects that now? I started backing away from things like that as treatment started and it just became 'fend for yourself' after that. I'm home too, retired, and trust me I do not feel guilty about caring for myself and healing. I'm not being selfish about it but I am taking care of myself first this time. However, I can see the more I do now, the less the boys (hubby and youngest son still here) do in the house.
Your bathroom pain is probably stress and maybe some constipation from stress or not eating right...I know if I am stressed or I overdue some foods it affects my whole body and then that affects my mind. It's important you rest and heal and let your immunities and treatment do its job. Do you take colace? I love the stuff. It's pretty much only mineral oil but it works well when you are constipated and having harder bm's. Just because you are not working outside the home right now does not mean you are are not still healing. You went through cancer treatment, not a tonsillectomy. And the treatment was tough. Be kind to yourself. Marilyne

Lori - thanks for your input. My blood pressure is always very low .. I know they did a couple EKG's and noticed nothing odd (tachacardia sp?) just that my heartbeat was fast. I've never had a low one (always 80-90 resting). I am easily winded and need to rest after each task so maybe this is par for the course but...I think I am going to call my oncologist tomorrow and just mention it again. It can't hurt. Be well, Marilyne

--- Announcements ---
In this section, we cover announcements from the Fedora Project[1] [2] [3].
Contributing Writer: Max Spevack
---- Fedora Elections ----
Last week, we announced that Tom Callaway, Mike McGrath, and Dennis Gilmore were elected to the Fedora Board[1].
This week, Paul Frields announced that Josh Boyer had been appointed to fill the final open Fedora Board seat. Said Frields, "Josh is well known around the Fedora community for his work with release engineering and many other development-oriented groups, as well as his past work with FESCo and as a maintainer of Fedora on PPC architecture."
As we reported last week, Bill Nottingham, Seth Vidal, Kevin Fenzi, Kevin Kofler, and Dennis Gilmore were elected[2] to the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
---- Upcoming Events ----

--- Planet Fedora ---
In this section, we cover the highlights of Planet Fedora[1] - an aggregation of blogs from Fedora contributors worldwide.
Contributing Writer: Adam Batkin
---- General ----
FUDCon wound to a close, and Nicu Buceli and Joerg Simon posted[1][2] some goodbye photos.
Daniel Walsh asked[3] (but more importantly, answered) the question "How do I tell if an access was added in the latest policy release?" using the sesearch and audit2why tools from SELinux.
Dave Jones suggested[4] that unreleased kernels could use some extra testing love. "Producing RPM builds of the rawhide kernel for our already released Fedoras...What I'm toying with doing is some devel kernels for Fedora 11 that are built outside of the Fedora build system."
John Babich explained[5] how to install Fedora along-side Vista.
Adam Williamson described[6] the new policies around the "severity" and "priority" fields in Fedora's Bugzilla. Additionally, Adam has been working "to improve and create pages dedicated to explaining how to debug issues in particular components, and how to provide appropriate information when filing bugs on those components" as well as a project called Fit and Finish[7] "to work on the small details that make a polished desktop experience."
Adam John Miller wrote[8] about Firefox and "The progression of popularity and the stigma of the Geek." The post covers the evolution of Netscape to Firefox and today's calls for WebKit everywhere.
Jeroen van Meeuwen proposed[9] that Fedora 12 should be supported with an additional 6-month "Extended Life Cycle" consisting of only security fixes, when the End-Of-Life policy would otherwise be put into place.
As a special bonus, from elsewhere in the blogosphere, Aaron Seigo (of KDE fame) described[10] some issues around processes and decision making at freedesktop.org, and how they might be overcome (this being a particularly auspicious time with the combined GUADEC+Akademy Gran Canaria Desktop Summit taking place).
--- QualityAssurance ---
In this section, we cover the activities of the QA team[1].
Contributing Writer: Adam Williamson
---- Test Days ----
There was no Test Day last week.
No Test Day is scheduled on the main track next week. However, the new Fit and Finish[1] Test Day track will be holding its first event[2], on display configuration (particularly multiple displays, and projectors). The Test Day page already includes several test scenarios, and a live CD for testing will soon be available. The Fit and Finish project is a great effort to improve the details of the Fedora project, so please show up to support their first event! The Test Day will be held on 2009-07-07 (Tuesday) in IRC #fedora-fitandfinish (note this is not the same channel where main track Test Days take place).
If you would like to propose a main track Test Day for the Fedora 12 cycle, please contact the QA team via email or IRC, or file a ticket in QA Trac[3].
---- Weekly meetings ----
The QA group weekly meeting[1] was held on 2009-07-01. The full log is available[2]. James Laska reported that he had not yet been able to update the QA Goals page[3], but had started work on it and hoped to have it complete soon. He noted that he had completed his survey of feedback on the Test Day review questionnaire[4].
Will Woods reported that he had added two more test cases to the Rawhide acceptance test plan[5], based on suggestions received to the initial plan: post-install networking and post-install input.
Matthias Clasen reported on the new Fit and Finish project[6], discussed on mailing lists under the topic 'raising the bar'. He explained it would be based on a series of Test Days concentrating on user experience rather than developer-driven 'features', and hoped members of the QA team would come along to help drive testing. Jóhann Guðmundsson suggested that the Test Day pages should provide more instructions on what information to include with bug reports for the Fit and Finish topics.
Will Woods gave a quick further update on the status of AutoQA (which includes the rawhide acceptance testing discussed earlier). He noted that the test plan was complete and seven of twelve test cases had been written. The next step is to start automating cases, which is waiting on the packaging of autotest. This is being tracked in a ticket[7]. James Laska and Jesse Keating are working on this together, and making good progress. Will hopes that by next week, all test cases will be written and one will be automated. He also noted he was working on how to allow manual test result reports, as there will inevitably be cases that cannot be automated.
James Laska reported on behalf of Liam Li, on his draft for a installation test event SOP[8]. This is intended to document the procedure for running an event where multiple people work together in real time to test installation. James reported that Liam had produced an initial draft, and it had been revised with help from Christopher Beland and Niels Haase.
Finally, Jóhann Guðmundsson reported on his project to improve the quality and quantity of information contained in bug reports[9]. He had filed an RFE[10] to improve the interface of abrt (the automated bug reporting tool). Matthias Clasen suggested asking the Design team for help in further refining the interface, and James Laska pointed out they had come up with good suggestions for the SELinux troubleshooting GUI design[11].
The Bugzappers group weekly meeting[12] was held on 2009-06-30. The full log is available[13].
Brennan Ashton reported on the status of the triage metric project. He had got FAS integration and component grouping implemented, but adding some features requested by James Laska had caused significant breakage which he was working on.
Niels Haase provided an update on his efforts to update the triage critical component list. He had written a draft[14] for a list based on the critical path component list being developed for that proposal, and proposed to add components from this list to the existing list[15]. The group approved this in principle, but pointed out several components that should be removed as they do not make sense from the triage perspective, and also noted that any packages which the components in the list depend on should be considered for addition as well. Niels promised to provide a list of these dependencies for the next meeting.
Adam Williamson reported on the project to improve (and create) pages explaining how to debug problems in particular components, and what information to include when reporting bugs in these components. This had grown out of Jóhann Guðmundsson's 'improve reporting' proposal[16]. He encouraged all group members to contribute to the page for their triage components, and create a page if there is not yet one. The page for X.org[17] was cited as a good example or template. Niels Haase mentioned a page for NetworkManager[18] currently in draft status. Adam also mentioned he had received a proposal from Ubuntu's James Westby for the distributions to work together on combining their pages of this type, and contributing them to the original upstream projects. The group agreed this was a good idea in principle and they would wait for further information from James, relayed via Adam.
Matej Cepl reported that the latest rewrite of the triage team GreaseMonkey script was nearly complete, and appealed for volunteers to help test it.
Adam Williamson reported that the project to implement use of the severity and priority fields in Bugzilla was now more or less complete, and asked all triagers if they had not already to begin assessing the severity of bugs when triaging them. He referred to the instructions on this in the Triage Guide[19] on how to assign severity appropriately.
The next QA weekly meeting will be held on 2009-07-08 at 1600 UTC in #fedora-meeting, and the next Bugzappers weekly meeting on 2009-07-07 at 1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting.
---- Test Day survey results ----
James Laska posted[1] a round-up of the results of his survey on the Fedora 11 cycle Test Days. It provides an overview and summary of the feedback received both publicly and privately in response to the survey.

---- New Request System for the Design Team ----
After Frank Murphy asked[1] on @fedora-design about forwarding design requests and inquiries from the users list "Occasionnally, the other lists get Q? re . Fedora provided Image apps\formats. Would it be ok, for me to forward those. Without throwing the teams work-flow" Máirín Duffy pointed[2] to the new created ticket system[3] "I created a new ticket type 'materials for ambassadors' in the design-team trac ticket queue. So please encourage the ambassadors to open up tickets for requests like these". Ian Weller moved[4] all the existing requests from the old wiki page[5] to the new system and also a mailing list was created[6] for notifications about tickets.
---- A Custom Blog Aggregator ----
Máirín Duffy raised a call[1] for all the members of the Fedora Design Team owning blogs to submit their data for a blog aggregation, something that was planned for long time "We need to put together a .planet file so Seth can create a planet just for our team. I need your help, though: If you think you should/shouldn't be on this list can you let me know?" and later she figured out[2] everyone can to it by themselves "Take the chunk of the planet config that pertains to your blog, and copy it into a .planet.design file in your home directory on fedorapeople.org". With the help of Seth Vidal from the Infrastructure Team, the aggregator was put up and running[3], so those interested in a Fedora Design Team Planet[4] can read it without much additional noise.

Wanna see what Ridley Scott and Paramount has planned for Superbowl Sunday with their "Robin Hood" spot? Wonder no more. Here's the "Robin Hood" Superbowl ad for your viewing pleasure. It's nothing we haven't seen before, though the introduction of Hood's father into the mythos is interesting. I don't think we ever learned a whole lot about his family background in any of the previous incarnations. Then again, coming from Ridley Scott I had expected more of a visual feast. It looks pretty, well, ordinary. But it is Scott, so maybe he's saving the good stuff for the actual movie.
Starring Mark Strong, Kevin Durand, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, Danny Huston, Matthew Macfadyen, William Hurt, Max von Sydow, Mark Addy, Scott Grimes, and directed by Ridley Scott.

Jennifer Gentle - Biography
According to Wikipedia, the town of Padua claims to be the oldest in Northern Italy. It's a picturesque city founded by a 12th Century Trojan prince, and apparently Galileo Galilei taught at its university. More recently (in late 1999), a couple of young musicians decided to break buck the musical trends of their post rock peers to start a band that fused an enthusiasm for 60s psychedelic with art rock and garage punk. The result was a truly innovative group (with an evolving cadre players) that kept true to their roots while creating an exciting blend of retro psych pop and experimentalism.The band got the name Jennifer Gentle from a Syd Barret lyric out of an early Pink Floyd song, "Lucifer Sam." Though the influence is ever-present in the songwriting, the sounds and in Fosolo's whiney, demonic vocal approach, the result always manages to sound fresh and original. So it's not surprising that after releasing two LPs and a blistering live album, this group of musicians from the historic town of Padua became the first Italian band to be picked by Sub Pop, toured the world and earned their niche in the worldwide indie pop psyche.
The band's debut album, released on their own label, I Am You Are (2001 Silly Boy), is a charming, oddball collection of mischievous psychedelia, awash in reverb, fuzz guitars and wonderfully demented vocals. The songs and the instrumentation are quirky and eclectic, with folky flutes, accordions and riffs that go off on tangents. The second LP, Funny Creatures Lane (2002 Silly Boy), is a heady, mixed bag of tricks — almost nothing is exempt from being employed as an instrument here, and the result is a highly enjoyable and raucous, psychedelic bash. The shambolic "Locoweed" has Fasolo's echoey vocals, a playful harpsichord and bandstand drums evoking a demonic tea party. The repetitive swirl of "Wondermarsh" is distortedly sweet, dreamy and lovely, like a pool of melted candy. Somehow, the wildly disparate vocal approaches on this record manage not to sound contrived but just as if Fasolo happens to be a creature from several different worlds.
Jennifer Gentle have toured extensively in Italy, the UK, North America and even China. The Wrong Cage (2002 A Silent Place) is a live album recorded when the band toured Italy with Japanese avant psych guitar guru Makoto Kawabata of Acid Mothers Temple. It's a mighty performance, and one of the highlights is "Bring Them" (from I Am You Are), a swirling, atmospheric masterpiece with a classic folk guitar theme and a heavy drone enhanced by Kawabata's screeching guitar theatrics. The first Sub Pop release Valende came out in 2005. The album features Fasolo's reverb-drenched, freaky vocal personas, wailing violin and drunken melodies with a lot of Syd Barret weirdness and a bit of T-Rex bombast thrown in. The British Invasion is an omnipresent backdrop, but the band sounds as fresh as can be with an ever-increasing experimentalism; this is definitely a coming of age record for them. Directly after the departure of Gastaldello, Fasolo recorded The Midnight Room (2007 Sub Pop) solo in his own Ectoplasmic Studio. It's a more challenging but no less rewarding listen. Although it's more subdued than its predecessor, it's also a much darker record. It opens with "Twin Ghosts" a thoughtful, sing-songy drone both eerie and touching, like a slowed-down lullaby. "Telephone Ringing" is both playful and nightmarish, which is the paradoxical mood that seems to underlie this album, featuring both heavy, dramatic, episodic compositions and dark, mocking little ditties.
On its heels followed the sprawling Sacramento Session 5 of 3 (2008 A Silent Place), an extremely limited gatefolded LP on colored vinyl, which is a live recording of a long piece written for a radio session. Also following that year was an EP, Evanescent Land (2008 Heron). The most recent LP, Concentric (2010 A Silent Place), sees Jennifer Gentle forging a way into more brooding and abstract territory. Using only analogue technology, Fasolo still manages to create loose, trippy impressionistic sound collages enhanced by Mos's saturated keyboards and Gilchrist's genuinely odd beats. It's probably the most abstract record to date, (and all of the songs have one-word titles) but the band's signature sensibilities remain: psychedelia, avant, folk, and surrealism all rolled into an intense, dreamy amalgam. It's arty, but it's also rock and roll, and what comes across most tangibly is the band's loving obsession with the influences that shape them. But they're not just a sum of their obsessions -- maybe coming from such an exotic place also feeds into their art. Whatever the reason, Jennifer Gentle are astute purveyors of a gloriously original take on psych pop and, more broadly, on contemporary indie music.

Comic Relief celebrated its 25th birthday on Friday night (March 15), and the landmark was commemorated with hours of comedy, music and fundraising stunts for Red Nose Day.
Flick through our Comic Relief gallery below:
The night began with Simon Cowell marrying his perfect partner after rejecting declarations of love from David Walliams, Olly Murs and others.
Then we saw Jessie J undertaking one of the most extraordinary challenges in Comic Relief history - having her head shaved for charity.
The night also saw the return of classic comedy characters David Brent and the Vicar of Dibley cast, and Will Ferrell starred in a special Comic Relief sketch as Anchorman's Ron Burgundy.
On top of that, Miranda Hart dropped in for a special hybrid episode of Call the Midwife and One Born Every Minute, and Peter Kay raised a staggering £146.05 with his own unique spin on the James track 'Sit Down'.

'I've just been released from state prison, and I don't want to hurt anyone."
If you guessed it's from an old Clint Eastwood movie, congratulations -- you are an innocent tourist. The rest of us recognize this as the cry of the aggressive subway panhandler -- all except lame duck Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who thinks such low-level crimes are a relic of the past.
I was on the No. 1 train about a year ago when I heard those familiar lines: "I don't want to hurt anyone, I don't want to steal . . . "
A male rider cut him off. "Get off the train!" he demanded. "Stop intimidating people and get off the train NOW!"
Wow, who was this guy? Batman? The hulking panhandler immediately recognized our hero as a plainclothes cop and vamoosed.
Despite encountering more subway harassers lately and a reported increase in homeless subway panhandling, I haven't seen a single panhandler tossed from the train this year. Have you?
City Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. has a theory as to why. "Police are much more hesitant to be proactive and approach people who may be committing low-level crimes because of the anti-NYPD sentiment that's been growing in political circles," he told the New York Post. Maybe. Whatever the reason, the recent chill in the air isn't solely because winter is approaching. I was riding the No. 1 train this weekend when a man who looked vaguely familiar entered the car. He told of his terminally ill wife and a hungry baby at home.
Say no more. Good-hearted riders started taking out their wallets and purses, including an elderly woman beside me. I recognized the man -- I saw him years ago telling the same exact story.
As he approached, I said, "I'm glad your wife's still alive after all these years, and healthy enough to have another infant." The man's eyes flashed fury, as the woman snapped her purse shut. I could see him calculating: Should he smile and say thanks, or strangle me and blow his cover?
Luckily, he chose the former and moved to the next car. There are multitudes of homeless people in this city who need help. These are not the people harassing you on the subway.
Despite the mayor's denial, subway panhandling is still very much with us. What say you, Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio?

New Investigation By Mayors Against Illegal Guns Shows Thousands Of Individuals With Criminal Records Are Seeking To Illegally Buy Guns Through Online Sales
Sep 18, 2013, 15:50 ET from Mayors Against Illegal Guns
The investigation – which examined online gun listings posted between February and May 2013 on the popular website Armslist.com – found that an estimated 25,000 guns may be transferred through the site to individuals with criminal records annually
Full Report Available at www.DemandAction.org/OnlineGunBuyers
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The bipartisan Mayors Against Illegal Guns coalition today announced the results of the first-ever national investigation into individual buyers with criminal records seeking to illegally acquire guns via online gun sales. The report concludes that thousands of people already barred by existing Federal law from purchasing guns are flocking to the Internet to evade background checks and acquire guns illegally, with no questions asked. The investigation – which examined online gun listings posted between February and May 2013 on the popular website Armslist.com – found that this single website could transfer more than 25,000 guns to individuals with criminal records just this year.
Because the investigation focused specifically on people who pro-actively posted to Armslist.com advertising their desire to purchase firearms, it only scratched the surface of the internet's vast illegal gun market. There are no Federal background check requirements to prevent such online sales, and the findings reveal that those who would normally be deterred by background checks at dealers are taking advantage of the digital private sale loophole. In fact, individuals seeking to purchase guns on Armslist.com are also nearly four times more likely to have criminal records than buyers at licensed dealers that require background checks. Mayors Against Illegal Guns Co-Chair and New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced the findings in a press conference at City Hall. The full report – "Felon Seeks Firearm, No Strings Attached" – is available at www.DemandAction.org/OnlineGunBuyers.
"Today, we announced the first-ever national investigation into illegal online gun buyers, and the results are startling," said Mayor Bloomberg. "In the digital age, convicted felons, domestic abusers, and other dangerous people who are legally barred from buying guns can do so online with little more than a phone number or email address. As our investigation shows, thousands of criminals and other prohibited purchasers are doing just that. It's time for Washington to take immediate and critical steps – and get serious about this issue."
"Loopholes in our federal gun laws have taken a devastating toll on communities and neighborhoods across America," said Mayors Against Illegal Guns Co-Chair and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. "Yet in April, a minority of U.S. senators blocked the common-sense legislation that would have closed these deadly loopholes by extending background checks to cover private sales in commercial settings – including online. It's time for our leaders in Washington to put public safety first and pass sensible gun laws that will help save lives."
With thousands of websites that offer firearms for sale, the Internet marketplace for guns is vast and growing. Over the last 20 months, the number of gun ads listed by private sellers on Armslist.com has expanded almost sevenfold, from 12,000 in December 2011 to 83,000 active ads in August 2013.[1] Current federal law only requires licensed firearms dealers – not private sellers – to conduct background checks, making this unregulated, online private market for guns particularly appealing to criminals and other prohibited purchasers.
Without conducting a background check, private sellers have no way of knowing whether they are selling guns to individuals who are legally barred from buying them. In 2011, a first-of-its-kind investigation by the City of New York found that 62 percent of private sellers agreed to sell guns to investigators who said they probably could not pass a background check.[2] The 2011 investigation highlighted just how easy it is for prohibited purchasers to buy guns, but since then there has been no measure of how many criminals are exploiting this loophole. The "Felon Seeks Firearm, No Strings Attached" report provides the first snapshot of this problem and how it's compromising public safety.
The Investigation
The vast majority of ads on sites like Armslist.com are posted by sellers, but would-be buyers can also post ads that describe the guns they seek, known as "want-to-buy" ads. To learn more about would-be gun buyers online, Mayors Against Illegal Guns reviewed a unique data set: the identifying information voluntarily provided by would-be gun buyers in want-to-buy ads that were publicly available on Armslist.com. Investigators "scraped" – a software technique for extracting online data – 13,298 want-to-buy ads for firearms posted on Armslist.com from February 11, 2013 to May 10, 2013, and examined them for identifying information. Unique phone numbers or email addresses were found in 1,430 of the ads. Using reverse lookup phone data, 607 of those identifiers could be linked to an individual living in the state where the ad was placed.
Investigators then conducted criminal record checks on each individual by searching court records in the areas where the person was known to have maintained a current or past address. Any felony convictions, domestic violence misdemeanors, bench warrants, or orders of protection that could be linked to the individual were subjected to a legal analysis to determine if they were prohibited from possessing guns under federal law. To ensure that matches between would-be gun buyers and criminal records were valid, investigators called the phone number posted in each ad to confirm the subscriber had placed the ad, and that their name and date of birth matched the criminal record.
The Results
The investigation found that:
- Of the 607 identified would-be gun buyers, 1 in 30 had committed crimes that prohibited them from possessing a firearm.[3] To put that in perspective, if 1 in 30 people on a Boeing 747 were on a terrorist watch list, the plane would have 22 suspected terrorists on it.[4]
- Armslist will host 790,000 unique firearm ads this year, which means an estimated 25,000 guns could be transferred to individuals with criminal records on one website alone – just a corner of a sprawling online market place for firearms. On an average day, more than 2,000 new gun ads are posted on Armslist.com.
- Many of the prohibited buyers identified in the investigation had lengthy criminal histories that included recent violent crimes. Their histories include charges of aggravated assault with a firearm, illegal gun possession, domestic violence harassment, and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
- The share of criminals purchasing guns on Armslist.com is nearly four times higher than the share attempting to purchase guns at licensed dealers. In 2012, licensed dealers conducted 8,725,425 federal background checks and 76,260 of these potential sales – 0.87 percent – were blocked because the check revealed a history of crime or domestic violence.[5] This is compared to 3.3 percent of would-be buyers on Armslist who were prohibited purchasers because of their criminal history.
Based on the investigation's findings, the report recommends that Congress take action to close the deadly loophole that allows criminals to buy guns online without a background check. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) and the websites hosting these gun marketplaces must do their part too.
- Congress should pass legislation to require a background check for every commercial gun sale, including those facilitated by websites. The existing background check system is efficient and effective, but limited because private sales remain exempt from this common-sense requirement. Bipartisan legislation under consideration by both chambers of Congress would enact this sensible reform.
- ATF should improve enforcement of existing laws. ATF should use all of the tools at its disposal to prevent illegal online gun sales, including by conducting undercover investigations of websites that sell guns, documenting when guns recovered from crimes were originally sold online, and offering online tutorials to train sellers and buyers about the laws governing online sales.
- Websites should adopt tougher protocols to deter crime. Online actors should meet the same public safety standards they are required to satisfy in the bricks-and-mortar marketplace. Websites that host gun ads can do so by demanding transparency from their sellers and buyers, flagging suspicious behavior, and taking reasonable steps to ensure they are not facilitating illegal gun sales to criminals.

wikiHow to Root the Samsung Galaxy S2
Rooting is kind of like the Android version of jailbreaking your mobile device. This article will teach you to root your Samsung Galaxy S2 running Jelly Bean (4.1.1 and 4.1.2). Be extra careful when downloading ROMs—be sure they are specifically for your version of Galaxy S2, or you risk bricking your phone.
1Make sure you have CWM Recovery installed.
2Turn off your phone. Then, hold down Volume Down, Center Home, and Power. Continue holding until you see a warning screen (about 3 seconds).
3Hit Volume Up. Then, connect your Galaxy S2 to your computer.
4Download the Jeboo Kernel and ODIN package. Unzip the ODIN files, but leave the kernel file as a .tar.
5Double click ODIN3v1.85.exe. This will run the program. You should then see a yellow highlighted box with COM and a number in it.
6Hit the "PDA" button. This should be in the checklist below the start button.
7Choose the Jeboo Kernel.tar file you just downloaded.
8Hit "Start." The kernel should start flashing. Wait until you see the word "PASS!", then let your Galaxy S2 restart.
9Download Superuser Zip file. If you can, download it straight to your phone. Otherwise, you can copy it over from your computer.
10Turn off your phone. Hold Volume Up, Center Home, and Power until your phone goes into CWM Recovery (about 20 seconds).
11Choose "Install Zip." It should be the second option on the list.
12Click "Choose zip from Internal sdcard." If you're transferring the zip over from your computer, choose "Choose zip from sdcard."
13Find the Superuser file. You'll most likely find it in your downloads folder.
14Choose "CWM-SuperSU-v0.00.zip". This will install su binary and Superuser to your galaxy S2.
15Confirm by clicking "Yes" when prompted.
16Reboot. You'll find an app called SuperSU. The first time you use it, you'll have to grant permission via a popup window. Then, you'll be good to go. Enjoy your newly rooted phone!

Georgetown put in the work and was rewarded for its efforts on Sunday when ESPN 60 power forward Isaac Copeland (Raleigh, N.C./The Miller School) committed to the Hoyas.
The 6-foot-9 Copeland, who is ranked No. 37 overall and No. 6 among power forwards in the Class of 2014, visited Georgetown on Saturday and immediately knew what he wanted to do. In passing on offers from NC State and Florida State -- plus interest from Duke, North Carolina and Virginia -- Copeland went with the team that put in the most time recruiting him.
He is the Hoyas' first commitment in the 2014 class.

Advice: My wife, brother and parents betrayed me
Updated 12:08 pm, Monday, March 24, 2014
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Hi, Carolyn:
Ten years ago, my brother had an affair with my now ex-wife, which resulted in twins. I have not seen or spoken to them since, nor have I met their offspring. This caused an estrangement with me and my parents, who insisted on having a relationship with my brother and his kids.
Recently they contacted me because they "are getting older and are trying to bring the family back together." I'd rather have my teeth pulled out with pliers. I will never forgive the deceit, lies and deep betrayal. I have never understood why my parents did.

I told them no, I would not meet, visit with, have dinner with or be in the same room with my brother and his kids. I believe I added something about how they can go to hell for all I care. Thanks for calling. Click. My mother has written to me claiming they are hurt by my intransigent attitude. What options do I have here?
-- Anonymous
I'm sorry. I think you just learned that it's easier for siblings to cut ties with each other and children with parents than for a parent to cut ties with a child -- or, especially, grandchildren. It might be as basic as that.
My concern is whether you are hurt by your intransigent attitude. I won't even begin to suggest peace with your brother, but it might be time to make peace with your parents' decision not to disown him on your behalf. He did the unthinkable, yes, but you're essentially insisting that your parents spurn innocent grandchildren. It was that or forgive, so they forgave -- probably not anticipating that it would cost them their other child to do so.
I can't help but think it would be healthier for you to say 10 years is enough, and forgive your parents. Again, not to restore ties with your brother, but instead to shorten the list of people this betrayal cost you.
Ten years is enough spent steeped in anger, too. Justified anger is no less corrosive than other kinds. If you haven't talked to a good, reputable therapist, I strongly suggest you do.
Hi Carolyn!
My boyfriend and I get along great but sometimes have completely different views on things. For example, I'm OK with doing things alone, anywhere. He feels that if we go somewhere together we SHOULD spend every second together, and he thinks it's shady that I don't feel that way.
On the other hand, I feel like if I ask him where he is every so often, he can tell me. He doesn't like texting when he lands at an airport somewhere; he thinks it's crazy behavior on my part.
For the record, his marriage ended in divorce, and my last relationship ended because my ex cheated. I am in therapy to work out issues from that.
-- Different Perspectives
It's "shady" for you to move about freely, but "crazy" if you want to know where he is?
Besides the fact that I regard being called (or considered) "shady" a breakup offense, this admittedly small snapshot suggests a potentially dangerous pairing of a controlling, insecure person with a self-doubting one. Please read this (http://bit.ly/1d7il8k) and proceed with caution.

Viewing a graphical presentation doesn't make you an art connoisseur either.
re: connoisseur
Wrong my canine conundrum - I got a A- in Art History back in my Uni days, so I know butt ugly when I see it (I would have got a A but I was more interesting in studying the lovely Isadora, my Italian study partner, then I was in taking good notes).

I've been super-inspired by Adam's latest Tested videos where he builds and weathers some beautiful cases. I especially loved his Bladerunner case. It;s a beautiful non-canon piece that totally honors the BR universe.
Videos are here is you haven't seen them:
One Day Builds: Adam Savage Demonstrates Weathering Tricks - Tested
One Day Builds: Adam Savage Makes a Blade Runner Blaster Carrying Case - Tested
So, I set out to create my own non-canon case from a movie I love (ALIEN). I also wanted to use the project to push my weathering techniques to make an original piece that looks authentic to the ALIEN universe.
Here's the final product. It is a biological specimen containment case used on the Nostromo and ships of that era. This case was used to collect and transport alien biological specimens under a strict quarantine. This case was abandoned in the bowels of the Nostromo after the alien samples were collected.
The main case is a old plastic military surplus case found at a surplus store. It's big, (18" tall) and has beautiful character. Bonus is much of the "weathering" is done for me.
The graphics are a combination of painted graphics done with frisket, and labels printed out on a laser printer. The fonts and graphics are based on known Alien/Weyland graphics with a bit Promethius thrown in for good measure. My favorite is the green winged-figure Weyland Megacorp label I found online. Following Adam's lead I set to scuff, scrape, sand, stain and age every label. The entire case has been scraped, stained and treated with several washed of acrylics bringing out every detail in the white plastic surface.
Undo the rusted butterfly latches and you'll find four cataloged containment cylinders inside. The cylinders were created from PVC parts. Similar aging and graphics were used on the cylinders.
The end result is immensely rewarding. It feels so REAL! And it was a fairly simple and quick project. Thanks, Adam for the inspiration.
