Hello to all of my friends here on The Hot Lap! It is hard to believe that we are already at Homestead and wrapping up the 2010 season. Man, did this year fly by! As focused as I am on this weekend, I'm already looking forward to heading to Daytona in February. I think we have a lot of great things coming next year. I know that this off-season is going to fly for everyone.
Before I talk off-season fun, let me jump back to this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. I got here on Thursday morning and headed straight to South Beach with my Turner Motorsports teammate, Jason Leffler. We had fun hanging out at the Coca-Cola Fuels NASCAR Championship Drive. We did some Q&A onstage with Miss Sprint Cup Amanda and then signed autographs for a bunch of fans. It was pretty cool, people could wander from the beach and right over to the fan fest area. After that Leffler and I grabbed some lunch and headed to the track. My motor home is parked on the lake here inside the speedway – waterfront property! I always like to do a little fishing for fun in the lake. My motor home driver, Joe, even had some bait waiting for me when I got here. It was nice to relax back here in the infield and enjoy the evening. We did get some rain here at the track last night, but before it started pouring, I wandered over to watch the Turner Motorsports trucks practice. My crew chief, Trent Owens, is pulling double-duty as a crew chief this weekend in the both Nationwide and Truck Series, helping out Brad Sweet and the No. 90 Great Clips truck team.
I'm up and ready to go this morning (Friday). It is a really nice day here in Homestead, Florida. Sunny, some wind, nice and warm but not too muggy. What a great way to wrap up the year. I've had a pretty good year with the Dollar General team. We've had solid runs and consistent finishes. Together we have nine top-five and 21 top-10 finishes. That's only in 27 races, too! I think we have built a really good foundation for next year for even better things. Next year I am running for the driver's championship. I am really looking forward to running the entire Nationwide Series season with Turner Motorsports!
However, before I do that, I am going to enjoy the off-season. I have a ton of things planned so I am sure it will go by fast! Right now my plans are to go hunting, get to as many Atlanta Falcons games as I can and spend time with friends and my family. I'll also be working with the Turner guys to get ready for 2011. The guys on the team will be extra busy this winter building our fleet of "new cars" that we'll be running them in every Nationwide Series race next year.
Well, I better run. I need to eat some lunch then head to the hauler a little early for practice so I can get measured for next year's fire suit. Hopefully we'll have a great weekend here at Homestead. Finishing up the season on a high note will give us good momentum over the winter. I want to thank all of my guys for a great year, my great sponsor, Dollar General, Nationwide for continuing to promote the series, and of course a HUGE thank you to all of you…our fans. Without you, NASCAR wouldn't be the great sport that it is.

The World Bank presidency fight is getting really interesting. There may be two developing country candidates in addition to Jeffrey Sachs and the U.S. candidate. Jose Antonio Ocampo (from Colombia and also now at Columbia University) has a lot going for him. IPSer Sarah Anderson has worked with him on capital controls and trade agreements and he is terrific on that issue. Looks like he'll become the Latin America candidate, with Brazil in the lead.
The other possible candidate is Nigeria's Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; she is more traditional and a lot less interesting. The U.S. has until tomorrow to name their candidate. Rob Weissman and others have done a great job at knocking down Larry Summers possible candidacy. Here is our latest on the Sachs' candidacy in the Nation. Thanks to several of you for participating in this debate.
Yesterday morning, I was leafletting outside the World Bank because a Canadian mining firm has brought a case against El Salvador in the Bank's International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes. A number of us have been leafletting to tell the Bank not to interfere with El Salvador's decision to stop issuing gold mining permits.
As I was leafletting World Bank employees, I used my growing "friendship" with some of the them to ask who they want to be their next World Bank president. I spoke with 7-8 in more depth. Every single one told me that they don't want an American. (And, I realized as I spoke to them that I haven't met one American who works there. This really is a colonial outfit: a largely developing world workforce and an American president.) The don't like Zoellick and no one I spoke to wants Sachs.

The hot new book in Washington, Ron Suskind's Confidence Men, shines a bit of new light on the Obama administration's lack of support for financial transactions taxes.
According to the book, based on 700 hours of interviews with high-level staff, President Obama supported the idea of placing a small tax on trades of stocks, derivatives, and other financial instruments. But, as with many other progressive policy proposals, it was blocked by Larry Summers, the former Treasury Secretary who was serving as Obama's Director of the National Economic Council.
A major theme of the book is how Summers dominated daily morning economic policy meetings with Obama. Former Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag reportedly told Suskind that Summers would often tell the President "I'll make my argument first; you can go after me."
According to Pulitzer Prize-winner Suskind, Obama economic advisors said Summers hijacked a long list of their proposed policies. Here's what he reports about FTT: "A financial transactions tax on banks and financial institutions, to try to tame the trading emphasis that has swept those industries and along the way, raise money: Obama said, in one meeting, 'we are going to do this!' Summers disagreed; it never materialized." (page 365)
The story of Obama supporting the idea of taxing financial speculation is corroborated by off-the-record reports I've heard over the past couple of years from civil society leaders and foreign government officials. But it's chilling to hear such strong confirmation that the idea was derailed by Summers, a man whose credibility should have been in the toilet long before Obama entered the White House.
The Suskind book reminds us of Summers's long trail of disasters, from his key role in pushing for reckless financial deregulation during the Clinton administration to his offensive remarks about women during his stormy tenure as president of Harvard University. My first exposure to the guy was in 1991, when, as World Bank chief economist, he penned a scandalous memo suggesting that dumping toxic waste in developing countries made sense from an economic perspective.
And yet Summers, renowned for his powers of intimidation, was apparently so forceful in his domination of economic policy matters in the Obama White House that, according to Suskind, it messed with Obama's confidence. "Over time, some of Obama's more admirable features, his joy of inquiry, his impulse to reach just a bit beyond his grasp, started to get planed down," wrote the former Wall Street Journal reporter. "He was making fewer decisions, and almost none where he couldn't manage to tease some supporting consensus from his senior staff."
Summers left the administration late in 2010. According to Confidence Men, he was outraged over being passed over for the position as chair of the Federal Reserve. So much so that he submitted a list of demands for compensation, including a round of golf with Obama, to be able to walk with cabinet members into the State of the Union address, and a car and driver.
However, even with Summers finally out of the picture, Treasury Secretary Geithner has worked to block financial transactions taxes. Recently, he even chastised Europeans for moving towards implementation of such taxes in their own territories, prompting angry words from the Austrian finance minister.
But let's hope Obama's recent tough talk on fair taxation signals a new chapter. It's not too late for the president to revisit some of his earlier positions in support of progressive economic policies, including financial transactions taxes.

Borders Group Inc. has raised $25 million in a private sale of 11.1 million shares to private equity firm Vector Group Ltd., which is controlled by Bennett S. Lebow. Lebow is now both the company's biggest shareholder and its chairman.
The investment comes less than a month before Borders, No. 194 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, plans to launch its Kobo eReader and a new section of Borders.com that will sell electronic books. Borders also aims to launch Kobo apps for ordering e-books through mobile devices and PCs, and, in August, it will launch in-store Area-e shops for downloading e-books. In moving into e-books, Borders is aiming to catch up with its two biggest rivals, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com Inc.
Borders says the $25 million capital infusion will strengthen the company's balance sheet and help fund the transformation of the Borders brand, which includes growing Borders.com and developing strategic business partnerships. Following completion of the stock sales last week, Borders' board named Lebow chairman.
"As an astute investor and business operator with a strong technology background and proven experience with driving company turnarounds, he will play an extremely important role in helping us redefine the Borders brand that is so critical to unlocking a turnaround for Borders," says Mike Edwards, Borders interim president and CEO.

My brother has a whole closet dedicated to his shoes! Hiking boots, tennis shoes, work boots, sandals, and soccer cleats fill the overflowing collection. He invited me over yesterday to help organize with the goal of donating shoes fresh in his mind. As we dug through the mountain of shoes I began to imagine where all these donated shoes will go. I pictured a homeless man able to feel prepared on his first day of work as he put on a pair of my brother's old work boots. I saw donated shoes on the feet of a young boy whose family could not afford a new pair for his first day of high school. I imagined my brother's donated shoes going to a boy living in poverty who needed soccer cleats to join the local team. My brother's shoe donation can help give those in need an opportunity to succeed.
By the end of our organizing, we had two full boxes of shoes ready to go to a good cause. It is always good to stop for a second and think about what we can do to help others. I felt so proud of my brother for donating used shoes because those shoes that he barley ever wore could brighten the future for somebody in need! My brother donated, now we urge you to do your part and schedule a donation pickup.

From sunshine and warmth to nearly freezing temperatures and sleet, they still laid out their beach towels and lounged with their lunch.
Students at Floyds Knobs Elementary School celebrated Beach Day, something principal Elaine Murphy said they've done annually for about four years.
"It's just a good way to break up the old winter doldrums," Murphy said. "After so many days of cloudy weather, everyone kind of flattens out. This brings a little excitement back to them."
Students wore sunglasses, swimming goggles and beach hats as they put down beach towels in the lunchroom. Upbeat music was played as students sat together and ate.
Sarah Pierce, administrative intern, said students enjoy pretending it's summer and having fun in the middle of their day.
"It's just something we do every February," Pierce said. "When the weather gets gloomy, we try to bring a little sunshine."

I keep reading that his death was caused by an ACCIDENTAL overdose???
He had oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine in his system. The drugs are the generic names for the OxyContin painkiller, the anti-anxiety drug Valium, Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug, and the sleep aids Restoril and Unisom. Hydrocodone is another name for Vicodin.
Is it me or does that NOT seem like its an accident?! Who takes all that crap and thinks they're going to be fine?? I call BS on accidental. Thats just too many pills for one person.

Darpa didn't pick Boeing to receive one of several contracts to develop concepts for a cyber range, a key national facility for figuring out how to conduct and defend against internet attacks.
So Boeing refocused itself, partnered with one of the winners, bought a half-dozen cyber-related hardware and software companies and announced its intent to reach across the company for expertise to provide U.S. government agencies like DISA, NSA, DHS, Defense Dept. and others with tools of the trade.
Focusing the effort for Boeing is Cyber Solutions, a division of Intelligence and Security Systems led by Stephen Oswald, vice president and general manager for intelligence and security systems. "Most of our cyber solutions we can't talk about," says the retired admiral and astronaut. But he did point out as events of note to his organization, the Russian cyber attack on Georgia and Israel's spoofing of Syria's networked air defense that allowed the unopposed bombing of a uranium processing facility.
Moreover, Oswald seems confident that he is in a growth industry. "This is never going to be over," he says. "Adversaries get better. Targets are fleeting. An attack can be very subtle. I worry about what we never see."
Questions about connections to other part of the company went unanswered. However, Boeing's lineup of warplanes -- including the F-15E, F/A-18E/F and EA-18G -- all have long-range, high-power, active electronically scanned array radars that with modified software can be turned into high power microwave (HPM) weapons. When these energy beams or data streams with malicious algorithms are directed into the antennas connected to integrated air defense or command and control networks, those networks can be disrupted, filed with false information or taken over. Boeing also has at least worked on an electronic attack package to fit in the weapons bay – sized like those on the F-35 JSF – to create similar effects.
Additional clues come from the technologies that Cyber Solutions considers of interest – radio frequency identification tags, infrared, Scada networks that control critical fuel, water, petroleum and electrical grids, ZigBee self-forming mesh networks, biometrics and software defined radios. This could be translated, roughly, into a target set for cyber attack.
Company officials admit to staking out development in areas involving information sharing, network situational awareness and end-to-end cyber integrated solutions. That would seem to indicate a full weapons systems cycle, including attack. But Boeing officials spent a lot of time denying a focus on cyber attack or exploitation, because that's the purview of government agencies, nor would they admit to any intention of developing cyber weapons.
Boeing also demonstrated two tools that it plans to sell – the Security Monitoring Infrastructure System (SMIS) and a Cyber Range. SMIS is an open architecture system that adapts to virtually any network to watch for digital anomalies that indicate an attack, analyzes the threat, presents options for deflecting or limiting its effects and then performs forensics on the event. SMIS, with an active defense capability, is already used internally by Boeing, says Barbara Fast, vice president of cyber solutions who is a retired Army general who served as intelligence director for the Coalition Joint Task Force in Iraq. "It adds the value of ferreting out what's new," Oswald says.
The Cyber Range – a quickly reconfigurable network -- also is intended to be a commercial product. Any network that must be protected can be duplicated and then assaulted with various malware to ensure its defense. Boeing officials would not discuss the converse capability. Any network that needs to be attacked can be duplicated as well and then assaulted until a way into the network can be found.

Interactive Space Suit
|Written by Jonathan Malory
American EVA Suit with MMU
When astronauts go outside their spacecraft, they wear multi-layered suits to protect them from space hazards, such as micro-meteoroids. These tiny particles of dust fly through space at an amazing 150,000 km per hour. This astronaut is wearing an EVA suit with a Portable Life Support System and a Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU), a sort of jet pack. The MMU allows astronauts to move right away from the Shuttle. Although the MMU is not being used on missions today, it is likely to be used on the new space station. When the first humans set foot on Mars their suits will be quite similar, but with improved technology and communications links.

Telemaster 150 build
I'm building a Telemaster 150. I'm going to build in a drop box for very small items(4-5 lbs). The plane weight shoul be about 17 to 18 lbs per the instructions. So all-up weight about 23 +- lbs. What are your thoughts on the engine to use? I have a Saito 180 and a Moki 140 available. I like the sound of Saito, but will it drag that much weight into the air? Thanks...........

Oh yeah! Sure it will haul the 180. Just for kicks I stuck a DLE20 in my 8ft telemaster. It weighs about 850-900 grams after ignition battery which is pretty close to the mass of your saito180.
It had absolutely no trouble taking-off and flying. Landings were slow and easy too - and that plane did not have flaps...
Later I converted it to a twin with 2X 40 LA's and it flew fine with that and 2X 1L fuel tanks full of methanol (again - just for kicks). So that was ~ 1.6 kg of fuel and another 500 grams of motor. This setup was easy to takeoff and fly but landings were a bit faster than I would like.
Later I cut the motors out and made a pod on top of the wing. I used a single 40LA with 1L of methanol in it. So that was about 1.1 kg of motor and fuel. It was really hard to get off the ground and flew OK. Landing was easy...

Thanks for the input. I have this started and so far it seems to be very light for the size. I'm going to use the Saito 180 unless I find a great deal on a 200 at the remaining swap meets in my area.

I have a set of plans for a 150, I believe it refers to 150% size of the original Telemaster 8 footer.
It would be the predecessor to the more commonly know 12 foot or Giant Telemaster.
If i can find a Telemaster history reference I'll post a link.

The 150 refers to it's wing span, 150 inches, 12ft 6 in......Hellcat 113
|Feb 06, 2013, 07:05 AM
The reason i was so curious about the telemaster 150 title is that, on RCU, my username is SrTelemaster150.
My "trainer" when I staed in R/C was a Hobby Lobby Sr Telemaster ARF W/a Saito FA150 for motive effort. hence, the SrTelemaster username. Unfortunately this site does not allow enough characters for that username, but for some reason, SrTelemaster was not being used. (not the case @ any other R/C forums)
It was quite the performer & a very good trainer. I soloed W/O a buddy cord W/O crashing.
As the plane suffered the enevitable bumps & bruises, I modified it by reducing wind incidence/dihedrel & added wing struts.
It would do straight up knife edge W/ full cross control of ailerons/rudder & by releasing the ailerons, the roll coupling of the rudder would roll the plane out to level flight.

I thought I might revive this thread to see how the OP project came along because I found an old shipping tube, tucked among all the plans I have, that contained the plans and instructions for the Telemaster 150, so I started doing some searching here in RCG to see "what's up" with this old design and stumbled upon this thread.
It's quite a monster, and I do like the Telemasters, especially nowadays when it would make a great camera platform for a UAV ship.
I noted that the name of Howard Chevalier was on the shipping tube, so it's possible that he might be the designer.
I still have an old copy of his model aircraft design book ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006F273W ), and I use it for reference quite often when I'm designing from scratch myself in Rhino. He's gone now, but he was a good writer and made model aircraft design easy to understand.
I think I might build it sometime next Spring and hang an old reliable Quadra 42 on it that I have in storage.

After Christmas, I might be prone to help, but these plans are old (as any would be by now), and I'm concerned how well they would get through a large sheet fed scanner without self-destructing.
Now let me tell you what I'm working on in my spare time (which has been cancelled until after Christmas).
I have access to a large CNC machine at work, so I am drawing up my own cut plans using the Telemaster 150 plans as a reference. The entire sides, top and bottom of the fuse will each be one piece, so I am using the measured DIMS off the original plans to work on this project. I am going to cut as much as I can with the CNC to make this build an "almost ARF".
So what I CAN offer you is a whole pack of photos I took of the plans if that would help you at all. As I said, parts of these plans are getting sort of dim with age, so I took some of the pics and enhanced brightness and contrast in Photoshop and came out with some really nice pics.
However, you (of course) can't build with these pics, but they might give you what you need to lay out your own design.
If you will give me your ISP address (so that attachments can be included), I'll at least send you these pics to see how much help they will be.
As I said, I'm going to cut my own parts so I don't really "need" these plans to build on other than for reference DIMS and placement of components, and you may not need them either. If you have just the important DIMS (which I can give you), then you could easily lay out your own build references on your table. Since you have the ribs already, then the spars etc. are already placed by default after you've laid out the ribs at the proper spacing on the table.
That's all I have for now, so if you have some building experience behind you, then you should easily be able to build based upon what I can give you right now.
Hope that helps.

Free State Stars extended their unbeaten run to seven in the PSL with a 3-0 win over Chippa United at the Charles Mopeli Stadium on Tuesday.
Predict result and win big with Soccer6
Two goals from Danny Venter and a Luyolo Nomandela strike right at the death piled the misery on a struggling Chilli Boys, who have not won in their last six.
Stars, meanwhile, cemented their position in fourth and moved to 28 points from 17 games. Ea Lla Koto have now gone seven matches without a loss, with a big clash against league leaders Kaizer Chiefs coming up next.
The Ccape Town side had two great chances early on, with both James Okwuosa and Rudiger Gilbert testing goalkeeper Tshepo Motsoeneng from outside the box, but the 33-year old was more than equal to the attempts on goal.
Venter was the man to open the scoring for the Free State Stars, the midfielder slotting home with his left foot from close range, after a wonderful pass by Zambian star Noah Chivuta.
Both sides went in search of goals when they came out for the second half. Chippa had a glorious opportunity to level the scores when an in-swinging corner from Diego Brown found the head James Okwuosa inside the area, but the header flew agonisingly wide of the post.
The match looked all set to end in a 1-0 win for the Stars, but the floodgates soon opened for the hosts.
Venter popped up again to finish off another opportunity for the home side, this time in a much more spectacular fashion, giving the keeper no chance from just outside the area.
It didn't take long for Nomandela to get his name on the scoresheet, putting an Enva Wiltwer pass in the back of the net from six-yards out to see out a comfortable win.

Turkish Request Still Pending for NATO Missile Interceptors Near Syria
Turkey has yet to issue any call for NATO to deploy Patriot missile interceptors along the nation's border with Syria, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday.
A call for the weapons would require authorization from his office, the Wall Street Journal quoted him as saying. Responding to previously reported remarks on the matter by a Turkish Foreign Ministry insider, Erdogan said such a staffer "does not have the authority to make a statement like this."
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the Patriot units could help protect Turkey from weapons fired from within Syria, the New York Times on Wednesday quoted area press organizations as saying. Shells and bullets from Syria have in recent months fallen in Turkish territory, leading to return fire.
The Turkish publication Milliyet said Washington and Ankara planned to tap the Patriots for the purpose of preventing fighting in select areas of Syria, where the Assad government's efforts to put down an uprising has killed tens of thousands. Washington and partner governments have struggled to find strategies for ending the civil war, recently tightening communication with opposition leaders but making no move yet to provide the rebels with weapons.
Davutoglu avoided confirming if his government would seek the Patriot batteries, the Journal reported. He stated, though, that NATO is "obliged to defend all its members."
One insider said the proposed use of Patriot interceptors to bar aircraft from parts of Syria has picked up some support in recent weeks among analysts in the U.S. capital and personnel at the State Department, the Times reported. The source said Obama officials had yet to approve the possible move, but top Turkish political figures had been briefed on it.
Ankara's desire for the interceptors had no link to the possible establishment of conflict-free areas inside Syria, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.
"On the no-fly zone itself, you know that we've been saying for quite a while we continue to study whether that makes sense, how it might work," Nuland stated.
Any interceptor deployment along the boundary would be strictly geared toward protecting Turkish territory, the Journal quoted a high-level U.S. government insider as saying.
Nuland on Tuesday said she believed Ankara had yet to officially ask NATO for the anti-air armaments, The Hill newspaper reported. The United States would deliver no arms before receiving backing from the military alliance, she said.
"We will await a formal request, and then NATO will deliver aid. But, we're obviously looking at the full range of things to ensure that Turkey remains safe and secure," Nuland stated.
Ankara planned to communicate with NATO on the potential interceptor placement, one government insider told the Journal in remarks published on Thursday. The source said the matter "is coming up the agenda," and possible dialogue with the alliance would unfold with an eye to "contingency planning on the security of Turkey and NATO territory."
The alliance so far has not received a Turkish proposal on the matter, but "the allies will consider any request that is brought to the North Atlantic Council," a NATO spokeswoman stated.

Strengths: Easy to ues and feels great in my hand. I'm left-handed and this thing works well for me.Lasts a long time with regular cleaning, first one I had lasted 5 or more years.
Weakness: As said, needs regular cleaning or it will not function right. The older it gets the more cleaning it seems to need.
Despite the cleaning issues, this is the best mouse I have ever owned. Fits my hand good and rolls and trackes very smoothly. I also own the optical version of this mouse,but prefer the way this mechanical version rolls much better.

Strengths: Easy to use-good for right and left handed users. Ball rolls smoothly. Pinpoint accuracy.
Weakness: Requires frequent cleaning of X Y ball mounts, it is very simple to complete
I do alot of graphic work and website design. The ease of 'grab and drop' with thie trackball is great. I can actually work on 1 pixel at a time without getting "herky-jerky" movement from the cursor. Recommend this ball for anyone doing detailed graphic work...left handers is particular.

2330 S Carson St, Carson City, NV | Directions 8970139.145376 -119.768581
Sushi is terriable, Chinese food is OK – The sushi here is poor compared to many of the other sushi places. Not that the fish is actually bad but the portions of the fish to rice ratio is bad. ie., big ball of rice and fish on top skiced so thin that you can just about see through it! and then they have a sign up at the sushi bar that says you have to eat all the rice or you will be charged extra! I will never go there again! The chinese food on the othwer side of the restruant is just ok, your typical amercanized - chines food, sweet gloppy sauce on top of deep fried pieces of pork and chicken, and the usual fried rice. No real chinese food here. But at lease there are real Chinese people working here.....and the sushi bar is not staffed by Mexicans like most of all the sushi bars in the area. I would take a pass on this place. The Basil has much better food in town here ( Thai).
Best Chinese restaurant in Carson City area! – Excellent Chinese food! Excellent ambience! The sushi is the best in town! Great place to go for a special dinner.

Spring is on the way! Even after you put away your winter coats and finish up your spring cleaning, something still might be missing from your home. Designers are suggesting simple touches to your home to get that bright springy glow throughout the year.
Check out some of this years newest trends in spring design and shake off the winter blues with some redecoration.
Bold color
More so than in years past, vibrant color is making a comeback, and it's not necessarily how much you use but where you choose to use it. What used to be a color taboo is now something being seen in more and more homes—colorful small spaces. The old school of thought used to be that you needed to open a small space with white walls. But you don't toss all of your white clothes after labor day anymore do you? So why follow this tradition? Pick a bright uplifting shade of blue or paint one accent wall with a splash of orange. Wallpaper is big again, and you can play with bold patterns and shapes in a small space. Make sure that your accents are complementary and not too busy themselves. White, crème, and metallic accents are great for balancing out bright color.
If you've got an extra room in your house that you have no idea how to decorate, start thinking about bringing the outdoors inside. A new trend is adding trellis work to walls that have a vibrant paint. Paint the trellis a light or warm color to brighten the room. Add plants and outdoor inspired lounge furniture. It helps if the room is bright with natural light, but if not, you can work with lighting options to brighten up the natural light in the room.
White wash
Just as color has taken off, so has white. Flip-flop the typical use of color by painting walls white. Take the same approach to your floors. If you're thinking of adding new laminate flooring or a tile to your floors, go white. It sounds a little extreme, but then you have the option of choosing nearly any pattern, design or color scheme for decoration and furniture. Some interior designers are showing white walls and floors with pastel and colorful trim and crown molding. Alternate vibrant color schemes with neutral stripes and an ikat print for a different look.
Though only recently considered passé, wallpaper is back in a big way. If you like bold patterns, textured walls, or trends, you should definitely dip into this growing theme. Designers are suggesting botanical paper on walls in clean bright spaces like large bathrooms. By contrasting stark white tile and natural light with flora and fauna prints, you get a relaxed and beautiful look. Think natural looking light sconces and details. And if you're thinking of doing a whole bathroom remodel, consider a stand-alone tub for drama and clean beauty.
Seated comfort
Many remodeling jobs lead to one fix or another, and before you know it you're way over budget. If you want to brighten up your kitchen or sitting room, start small. Go to a flea market or local discount material shop and pick up some new patterned and printed material. You can make your own seat cushions at a fraction of the cost of buying designer ones. Flea markets have a ton of old furniture, including kitchen chairs and benches that are dying to be rehabbed. Put a fresh coat of paint in alternating colors on each chair for a funky look. Then add your new brightly colored cushions and you've got a pop of color you were looking for without breaking the bank.

This is a sad sign of the times: The exhibition chain has decided it must give customers a special incentive to respect the movies, and each other. It unveiled today CineMode — a component within its iPhone and Android smartphone app — that can determine whether the owner uses the mobile device during a film, and send digital coupons to those who leave them alone. "It is important to develop tools that maximize and preserve the movie-going experience," says Cinemark's marketing and communications VP James Meredith. He adds that customers have asked the chain to "design an alternative and creative solution" to keep others from lighting up their phones in the dark theater. Before a film starts, Cinemark will flash a message on the movie screen urging customers to launch CineMode. The app will dim the smartphone's screen and ask users to turn the volume off so incoming calls only cause the phone to vibrate. Customers must stay in CineMode throughout the film. If they do, then the company says it will automatically send a coupon to be stored in the app's Rewards section. Exhibition execs are struggling to find a strategy to satisfy the growing number of patrons who won't leave their phones alone in the theater, as well as those who want to preserve the traditional experience. Some have said they'd consider scheduling separate screenings of a film designating ones where texting would be allowed, and others where it wouldn't.
Cinemark Says It Will Reward Customers Who Don't Text During A Film
Comment by Sheldon W. — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:04pm EST
It's definitely sad that a theater chain feels it has to bribe its audiences to be polite.
Comment by CHARLES DAVID HASKELL — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:11pm EST
I must agree with Sheldon. The cost of the movie theater and the food made you wonder why goes to the movie when you can wait until the DVD come out. I wanted to enjoy the film without the texting and talking that goes on around me.
Comment by a lot of it is the parents fault — Thursday November 15, 2012 @ 8:24pm EST
Any person who know how to act properly will agree with Sheldon. Rude, obnoxious, and noise-making people should be thrown the fuck out of the theater. Replace the ushers with bouncers, and have every ticket purchase come with the agreement that says you relinquish your right to sue if a bouncer has to remove you by force or taser.
Comment by Bobby — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:05pm EST
Nice. Mask what you are really up to by giving a reward for something else. Don't buy into people. They only want your email or cell contact. Moreover, by having you log into their site to collect the reward builds their data base which I'm sure will be monetized by ads.
Comment by Burton Crane — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:21pm EST
I think you just summarized what the internet and cell phones are all about.
Comment by Lyle T. Chopworth III — Saturday February 23, 2013 @ 8:50pm EST
Sorry, WRONG, paranoid conspiracy theorist. You do NOT have to provide your email or contact info to use that app. Furthermore, you can block the app in your phone settings from otherwise interacting with your phone data, which it does not do anyway. Not that these 'lil ol' FACTS will change your disinformation speculatin' ways.
Comment by ben h. — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:07pm EST
I don't go out to movies anymore b/c of people texting. So this is potentially a great idea. Anything theater chains can do to try & make it more pleasant for people who actually want to focus on the movie should be done.
Comment by Anita Busch — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:11pm EST
This is dumb and insensitive, esp. at this point in time. Really Cinemark? How about doing something decent for the victims of the theater shooting? Not even apology from the theater chain? Are the lawyers keeping you all from practicing basic human decency?
Meanwhile, the families of the deceased, while grieving horribly, are working tirelessly behind the scenes to help those whose bodies and lives have been ripped apart by bullets. There's one kid who had 8 bullet holes in his small intestine and another in his lung, another with brain damaage, another whose lost part of his leg … and they worry about texting?
Enuf said.
Comment by Zach Schulman — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:21pm EST
While we're at it, how about companies written about on Deadline stop all work until the families of victims of 9/11 are fully taken care of? Are they not Americans?!?! Show some class, people!!!
(Which is to say: You're an idiot.)
Comment by Anonymous — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:28pm EST
Do you seriously think that the whole company is going to totally shut down to deal with the shooting that happened nearly four months ago? Thousands of people are employed by Cinemark.
Comment by Anonymous — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:39pm EST
It is the responsibility of Cinemark to keep it's patrons safe. They failed. Cinemark needs to work on the safety of their theaters instead of violating the rights of Americans who pay to get into their establishment.
Comment by the caretaker — Saturday November 17, 2012 @ 9:18pm EST
Yes, lets change our lives completely because of one insane moron. Lets watch movies in a bunker because there might be another out there…somewhere. I'll take the bullet first. You all can live in fear.

It's really simple. KICK TEXTERS OUT. That's what the Alamo Drafthouse does, which is why it's the most successful theater chain per screen – and expanding.
Comment by saffron — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:04pm EST
Yes! If I had a neighborhood theater like Alamo Drafthouse, I would probably see movies in a theater more often than maybe twice a year.
But bribing people not to do something they shouldn't be doing to begin with? Weak!
Comment by Roger C. — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 7:01pm EST
It's called discipline and order, something America forgot about in the name of the almighty dollar. The Alamo Drafthouse should run our school systems. Unfortunately, they probably will be corrupted by corporate America soon.

Comment by Burton Crane — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:16pm EST
Only in America do we need coupons to avoid being rude in theaters…how about you just don't touch your phone or take calls outside of the movie theater? I know that sounds revolutionary but it's worth a try.
We also need to give out coupons to parents who don't bring crying babies to R-rated films.
Comment by Tom Winston — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:20pm EST
They've been doing this at the Cinemark theaters around the Chicago area for months. How was this unveiled today?
Comment by Jack — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:23pm EST
Anyone who texts during a movie does not love film. End of discussion. They're only there to see "what's happening," not caring at all for mood, or the wonderful spell that a movie is supposed to put you in. Cell phones have all but ruined the moviegoing experience.
Comment by Jerk — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:40pm EST
I love film. I also love my kids. And sometimes they text me during a film. My daughter will write, "Going to bed now, XXOO" and I'll text back, "OK. XXOO." Which apparently makes me a jerk for not caring for the mood and wonderful spell that the movie is supposed to put me in. However, it does make me a good father. Which is more important to me. End of discussion.
Comment by Allen Iverson — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:47pm EST
I think you are the exception. People who constantly text are annoying. Not people who just respond once or twice. I think they are targeting those audience members who think they are in their living room.
Comment by ben h. — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:55pm EST
Dear Jerk – If it's so important, go home and have that conversation w/ your kid in person, instead of ruining the experience for other people who also paid to be there & are, unlike you, being considerate. Texting your kid doesn't make you special. Neither does being a parent.
Comment by Distracted by bright screens. — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:14pm EST
Anyone who states their point of view and signs off with "end of discussion" is by definition, a jerk. Really, there's no argument but yours? How about you say goodnight to your kid before the movie starts? Period, end of, say no more.
Comment by Jerk Clarifier — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:54pm EST
Not caring about the mood and wonderful spell that the movie is supposed to put you in doesn't make you a jerk. Texting during a movie and annoying the other viewers makes you a jerk.
Comment by Jason — Thursday November 15, 2012 @ 12:46pm EST
We don't care about your kids going to bed. You do, as you should. Your phone can be off 2 hours. Do you text them from your work while they are at school during every 2 hour period. You're inconsiderate self-righteous world is all you care about. Keep your phone off or stay at home and tuck your kids in.
Comment by the caretaker — Saturday November 17, 2012 @ 9:26pm EST
If you think you are a good parent by "texting" good night to your child from a movie theater then perhaps we are getting to the root of the problem.
By the way. Why the hell does a child have a cell phone? Why didn't you tell said child "im going to be in a movie, so I wont be answering anything other than an emergency because its not nice to mess with your phone in a movie theater. Its kinda like smoking in an elevator. Good night now honey"
Comment by Andy — Friday December 7, 2012 @ 5:34pm EST
You'd be a better father if you stepped outside the theater, like as if you were getting concessions or going to the bathroom, and then texting from there.
Comment by CynicalCritic — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:46pm EST
Excellent point.
I'm reminded of a time when I went to watch a movie at AMC Century City, when they were still located near the old food marketplace. I had just settled into my seat near the back of the theatre, where I usually like to sit. Aside from myself, there were only a few others scattered throughout the theatre as it was an afternoon show. As the final trailer finished, and the feature was beginning, two women, each carrying a food takeout bag and dressed in business attire, strolled into the theatre and sat directly in front of me (not a few seats down and not a few rows ahead, but DIRECTLY in front of me). As the movie began, they started opening their takeout bags (noisily enough) and pulling out their food takeout containers. They proceeded to eat their lunches while watching the movie and, occasionally, chatting with each other. Not wanting to argue or move around and, thereby, miss more of the movie, I simply moved a few seats down in the same row. Still, their heavily aromatic food kept distracting me, until . . .
They finished eating and, then, stood up and left the theatre, never to return . . . even though the movie was still in its early scenes!
So, I concluded that these two stupid cows merely wanted to watch something while they ate their lunch.
Comment by Truth Hurts — Saturday February 23, 2013 @ 8:54pm EST
"I love film. I also love my kids…"
And you don't give a CRAP about other people. So yes, that does make you a JERK.
"End of discussion."
Comment by thephantomcat — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:33pm EST
I love coupons for the movies. It's so expensive now, that's the only way to go. Discount Tuesday, weekly concession coupons, refillable cups and popcorn tubs. I already shut off my phone or ringer as do my friends and family. This will just reward is for what we already do. Heck yeah! Bring on the rewards!
Comment by CynicalCritic — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:34pm EST
Cinemark is to be commended on their effort to provide a comfortable moviegoing experience for everyone, but they are naive if they believe a coupon for a drink or popcorn is going to dissuade habitual texters from accessing their phones during a movie.
I agree with John Whorfin and, if Cinemark has a device to detect phone usage for texting, then why don't they simply eject those users from the theatre?
Comment by Mel — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:51pm EST
They don't have a 'device to detect phone usage', you log into their app and probably tell them which movie you are watching and what time it starts. Then it starts a timer or something so it knows when the movie is over. Simple, nothing groundbreaking here. No technology to be installed in thousands of theatres
Comment by AnArtfulAnswer — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:34pm EST
I didn't know texting was a problem in movie theaters. Oh, I guess I don't see those kind of movies!
Thank you.
Comment by saffron — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:10pm EST
What the hell kind of movies do you see, that you are unaware of this problem? The only times I don't run into it is when I make the mistake of seeing something like Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter and there's maybe two other people in the whole theater with me. My reward for bad judgment = no cell phones.
Comment by Hal-9000 — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:56pm EST
How about we just send a scrambler that blocks any incoming calls/texts during the course of the film? That way we can keep the audience hostage in the room for 2 hours as if cell phones do not exist. And we also put a full-time theater employee in each theater to stop people from crunching on food and talking during the film…on top of that we will restrict when people can leave the theater to use the bathroom because we don't want to have to move from our seats when someone goes to the bathroom…..OR
You can just accept that this stuff happens in movie theaters because you are in a room full of strangers. No matter what coupons or incentives you offer, people will be rude or find a way to annoy you because everyone has a different threshold of tolerance. Some people think the slightest talking is annoying, others don't. Some think texting is annoying during the film, others don't. You can't please everyone all the time.
Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
Comment by itsjustmejon — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 5:57pm EST
This is most likely a PR stunt (that is working). While we all hate texting during movies, Cinemark has bigger fish to fry to improve the audience experience. And if they really wanted to stop texting there is technology that can do that.
Comment by Narniadis — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:06pm EST
OKC Cinemark has been doing this months as well. Wife and I love the extra coupons for doing what we normally do
Comment by Herb Finn — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:18pm EST
why don't theaters just put jamers in the houses?
Comment by Beach — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 8:37pm EST
Put a jammer in my local movie theater and I will NEVER go to a movie again. If my kids need to reach me (emergency situation only), I want to be there for them. I imagine a great many folks with kids feel the same way.
Comment by effyu — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 10:32pm EST
Good. Please never go to a movie again.
Comment by DMarshall — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 10:45pm EST
Well then. you do what people did in the 70s and 80s… you give your kids the phone number for the theater, the show you are in and the staff will come in and look for you, just we used to do all the time when I worked in a theater for doctors and whoever else had a babysitter that might need to call, or teens with an emergency. No reason to be inconsiderate to dozens of folks who paid $12 a ticket so you don't have to be so terribly inconvenienced.
Comment by the caretaker — Saturday November 17, 2012 @ 9:31pm EST
I wonder how you ever made it to adulthood Beach. You know, with your parents in movies and such with no cell phone.
Comment by Ryan — Saturday December 8, 2012 @ 12:15am EST
I already carry a signal jammer with me that I bought online. If I see a cell phone light up more than twice, or hear one light up more than twice, I turn it on quietly inside of my pocket. If someone answers a phone and starts talking inside of the theater without getting up to leave the room, I turn it on. Watching the meltdowns as calls continually get dropped is entertainment by itself!
Comment by Carl — Saturday February 23, 2013 @ 8:58pm EST
"BEACH" said: "Put a jammer in my local movie theater and I will NEVER go to a movie again. If my kids need to reach me (emergency situation only), I want to be there for them. I imagine a great many folks with kids feel the same way."
Actually, "BEACH" (and I'm assuming you are the son of Beach Senior), YOU could be classified as a "movie jammer." You block people from seeing and enjoying what they paid for. You are a part of the problem, and that problem is disrespect for those around you.
Comment by Bill Zed — Thursday November 15, 2012 @ 11:50am EST
Signal jammers are not legal.
Comment by Ryan — Saturday December 8, 2012 @ 12:17am EST
It doesn't stop me from carrying one with me to movies and stores, and it doesn't stop me from making the calls of inconsiderate cell phone users drop repeatedly until they get the picture.
Comment by The Digitorialist — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:41pm EST
Coupons, coupons, coupons.
How about nixing the coupons and selling a bottle of water for less than $5 bucks? Or cleaning up those god-awful relish spouts? Let's start there.
Comment by KrisTM — Wednesday November 14, 2012 @ 6:45pm EST
I have an older phone, always leave it in my vehicle or turned off during a movie – what do _I_ get for continuing to do the right thing as I've done for as long as I've had a phone? Do I have to buy an iPhone and leave it on during the movies now to get coupons? Ridiculous. Kick people out.

The noise of a phone set on "Vibrate" can be just as distracting as one that rings. People need to turn their phones OFF.

Get a grip. Do you want metal detectors at the doors to every building? It's not up to the theaters to "keep us safe." You're delusional.
