A's bats quiet in another short outing from Straily
Norris' ninth-inning homer saves club from second straight shutout
CINCINNATI -- For the last week, the A's haven't been playing like the first-place team the standings say they are.
Going back to July 30, an eight-day, six-game span, Oakland's pitching has been inconsistent. So has its defense. The only thing consistent about this club has been its hitting -- consistently bad, that is.
A sputtering A's lineup was nearly shut out a second straight game on Tuesday night, before Derek Norris hit one out of the park with two outs in the ninth in a 3-1 series-opening Interleague loss to the Reds at Great American Ball Park.
As for that first-place standing, the A's are quickly letting it slip away, having watched a six-game lead over the Rangers narrow to one game in just eight days. Since the break, they're 8-9.
"I think we know we're not playing very well right now," said Josh Donaldson, hitting .189 since the break. "Some days it's our defense, some days it's the pitching, some days it's our offense. We haven't been able to click in the second half yet, and I think when that happens, we'll go on a nice little run like we normally do."
"You just gotta play your way through it, fight your way through it," said manager Bob Melvin. "Have better at-bats, get grittier, find a way to get someone home. We're not swinging our best, there's no doubt about that. You go through these periods, and yet you try to minimize it so they don't go on too long.
"You just have to grind through it. You have to have some awareness, which I believe we do, and sometimes you just don't get it done."
Might it be time for Melvin to gather the troops for a team meeting? Not quite, but that doesn't mean he's going to sit idle during this skid, either.
"We're one game under .500 in the second half," Melvin said. "I don't know that it calls for a team meeting, but we could see a couple different guys in there tomorrow."
Before Norris' homer, his eighth of the year, Oakland hadn't scored a run since Saturday, a disheartening stretch of 18 innings without one, their longest such streak of the season.
And since July 30? Well, only 10 runs have crossed home plate.
All the while, they've left 45 men on base and are 4-for-42 with runners in scoring position. That includes an 0-for-8 showing on Tuesday, with eight left on base, while starter Dan Straily struggled to gain any sort of rhythm in yet another short outing.
Oakland's right-hander gave up two runs on six hits, including Jay Bruce's second-inning solo shot, with one walk and three strikeouts in four innings, marking not only the third straight start he hasn't completed five frames but also the fifth time in his last eight tries.
Straily didn't put up a clean inning until his last, and by the time it ended, he was already at 75 pitches, influencing Melvin to pull him in favor of pinch-hitter Seth Smith in the fifth with a runner on base and a chance to score.
That never happened, leading to lefty Jerry Blevins' entrance at the start of the fifth.
"You never want to stop pitching," Straily said. "My job is to keep the team in the game as long as possible, and tonight it was four innings that was all they needed."
Blevins proceeded to allow a leadoff double to Shin-Soo Choo, his issues with first batters -- a staggering 44 percent of them have reached base this season -- continuing. Only more trouble awaited the lefty, who threw Derrick Robinson's sacrifice bunt into right field, allowing Choo to score and Robinson to safely reach first.
Blevins stranded Robinson and the Reds didn't score another run, but the A's failed to break through against righty Mat Latos, who tossed 7 1/3 scoreless innings.
"I think they're all trying to do what they do at the plate," said hitting coach Chili Davis. "Right now, sometimes it gets a little contagious. You're trying to pick each other up, and at some point you maybe try to do more than you can, but the effort's there. They all work hard at what they do and try to take it up there and use it."
"It's definitely tough," Donaldson said. "We're in a little funk, and it seems like even though we do hit a ball hard, it ends up being caught, run down. But we gotta do a better job when guys are on third base with less than two outs. We have to get him in. That's just not tonight. That's happened over the last two weeks.
"Everyone wants to go up there and do their job, be the one to get it done. I think sometimes that can be your biggest enemy. Sometimes you have to let it go and just focus on getting that one pitch you can get the job done."

This is a follow up on my three part article, "Drawing a good diagram of a football field". After trying for some time to automate arrow drawing, I've come to the conclusion that using GIMP, an arrow drawing plug-in, and GIMP's path tool (a way to draw both straight lines and curves) are adequate to handle this problem.
1. Diagram Drawing Tools (see my three part series here, here, and here).
2. A copy of GIMP. It's free and available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
3. Some experience with layers on GIMP. Start by searching "How to use layers in GIMP". There are some nice Youtube videos that can get you started here.
4. This article is also really good: "How to Draw Arrows in Gimp". Get the arrow plugin, install it, and read the instructions.
5. Look further at GIMP pathing with the search: "using path tool in gimp".
6. For dashed and dotted lines, search using this phrase: "dashed lines in gimp".
Some notes about drawing diagrams. If you're using Windows shell to draw, then you'll have no issues with Image::Magick. If you want to use the Perl interface to draw, then switch to Graphics::Magick, a fork of Image::Magick. Image::Magick has bugs when used with Perl.
When drawing arrows on a 640×480 diagram scaled in the way I've been scaling them, a length of wings setting of 15 and a brush width of 2 works well. This can be paired with path lengths of 5.0 pixels and will do nicely.
Drawing a zone drop.
Load your diagram. Add a new transparent layer. Make sure you're drawing on the transparent layer. Use the rectangle select tool (letter "R"). Choose a region to highlight as a zone. At this point select the bucket fill tool (shift B) and then select the color for the bucket fill. Use a foreground fill and set the opacity to about 50%. If your field is light green, use a dark green to fill the zone.
If you have more than one zone to add, add them all now.
Once complete, select all (important) and add another layer. On this new layer, add a path from the middle of the zone to the player. Select Tools -> Arrow (you added the arrow plugin, didn't you?). Adjust arrow length of wings and brush width and draw the arrow. Repeat as needed.
If the path isn't straight or you need a bar to create a "jam", just use the path tool as needed.
If you want to add text or label the diagram, I'd suggest adding another transparent layer and putting the text above the main, zones, and arrows.
Once done, save the file as a GIMP native file and then again as a JPEG file. The second save will cause an export, crunching all the layers down to one image.
Drawing man to man coverage
The trick here is to use the path tool to make a stippled (dotted) image. Choose a path from the defender to the player to be defended. When you choose stroke path, choose a line type (there are many). I like the stippled pattern, as it's unlikely to be mistaken for a solid line.

HHR Future Powertrains?
It would be nice if they offered a performance engine for people who want hot rod performance and don't care much about MPG and an economy powertrain option with high mpg.
The current offerings that combine the unfortunate combination of weak acceleration with low-ish gas mileage leave much to be desired.
They should, at the very least, offer a 5-speed automatic instead of only 4-speed auto.
You would get slightly better performance from more closely-spaced gear ratios combined with an extra-tall overdrive gear for quieter and relaxed highway driving at lower rpm and lower fuel useage.

Jaxs1, have you actually driven one? I've had mine over 120 MPH, stomp on it ya get wheel spin even with the 17s & the electronic traction control + I really get about 27 MPG. At a steady 70 ya get >30 MPG. Plus you can stuff about 40-50 cases of beer in it....& with the 17s & sport suspension it handles the twisties about as good as any station wagon ever has...what more do you want. If you want a dragster -gas guzzler -station wagon just go buy a DODGE Magnum or something.0
27-30 MPG isn't typical average mileage other people post unless they only drive on highways.
Most cars get good mileage driving at a steady highway speed (even a 268HP Camry can get 30 mpg on the highway), so 30 mpg on highway trips is expected, but mix in stop and go city driving other people say they get more like 22 MPG (which is V6 territory).
The problem with the HHR is that it seems to give you V6 gas mileage with the performance, noise and vibration levels of a 4 cylinder.
What kind of acceleration numbers have the mgazines got when the HRR has the automatic transmission? I only see test results with the 5-speed manual.0
That's baloney, check Car and Driver...when they tested the new RAV, with that 268 HP engine you're talking about, they got 16 MPG! Even when they tested the 2007 Camry Hybrid 2.4L they only got 33 mpg and that car cost >$30,000!! You can buy a lot of gas for $10K. Besides the last new Toyota I bought was something of a nightmare. If I would have had to pay for everything that went wrong with it during the waranty period it would have been over $6,000. They'll probably stick the Turbo or Supercharged versions of the Ecotec in there eventually, maybe even a Hybrid...but you'll pay several thousand more either way.0
A supercharged engine comes as an option in the fall.0
Most likely the supercharged model will be manual transmission only since that engine is not available in automatic with the Cobalt. I guess that will be OK for hot rodders.
The 2.4 would probably be fine if it had a 5-speed automatic instead of that old 4-speed. A couple more mpg and a little better acceleration without having to drive and try to resell a manual transission model down the road.
The very heavy weight of the HHR is probably what causes the sluggish performance and so-so fuel economy.
The Edmunds review tested the HHR with the 2.4 engine and automatic at 0-60 of 9.5 seconds. That seems just adequate if a little slow.
If the 2.4 is that slow, then the 2.2 with automatic must really be dangerously slow for merging onto highways with a load of passengers.
A V6 would be nicer and would move the vehicle's weight around without working as hard, but their V6s probably don't fit the engine department or they would offer one.0
Well, to put it in some perspective....in 1978 I bought a brand new Corvette off the showroom floor....L48...180 HP 3400 lbs....the 2LT is 172 HP 3200 lbs. The Vette got 16 mpg. Today when I filled up the 2LT the DIC said 27.9 mpg the trip meter said 279 miles...I chugged it till it was ready to overflow....10.0004 gallons = 27.9 mpg ..just like the DIC said.
So jaxs1, what vehicle out there, well loaded, station wagon like, that really get 27.9 mpg, for <$20K beats the 2LT?0
Vibe, Mazda5 etc. etc..
Chevy just should not put engines designed for the much lighter Cobalts into such a very heavy vehicle as the HHR.
Or maybe the HHR just shouldn't be as heavy as it is and then the Cobalt engines wouldn't have to struggle to move that weight around as much as they do.0
jkinzel Posts: 735Put a 2.0L diesel in the HHR and I'll buy one in a heart beat.0
The 2LT weighs 3155lbs/172HP = 18.3lbs/HP.
The Vibe " 2700lbs/126HP = 21.4lbs/HP.
The Mazda5 " 3389lbs/157HP = 21.6lbs/HP.
Once again, you are full of baloney.0
pacerman Posts: 62The Caliber weighs 2966lbs/ 158HP=18.7#/HP
SRT4 Caliber weighs 2966lbs/ 300HP=9.9#/HP
Caliber RT weighs 3308lbs/172HP=19.3#/HP incl AWD0
I don't have one but have driven a couple automatics and they move really good. I can't say how they would be with a load though.0
Yup. The SRT4 Caliber looks like a real screamer. But the HHR's numbers look good when you figure the numbers out this way. Add in the # of gears and the final drive ratios though and you'll probably get an explanation for the relative performance levels. An extra gear or two would most likely help things all around.0
But Jaxs1 wants one that sells for <$20K, 400 HP , holds 40-50 cases of beer & gets 35 mpg in the real world & corners like a Z06....anybody know of anything out there like that?0
Stop being ridiculous.
I just wanted a little better performance, better mileage and a quieter, lower RPM cruising at highway speeds with the automatic. All that can be accomplished with a 5 speed automatic.
It would be better still if they also offered an engine that better handled the heavy weight of the HHR (like a V6) or if the vehicle was not so heavy to begin with.0
Although a 5 speed automatic sounds good in theory, in practice there was very little difference for us between a PT Cruiser with 4 speed auto, Honda CR-V with 5 speed auto, and Dodge Caravan with 4 speed auto. I think the differences are much greater between a 4 speed stick and 5 speed stick, and there are certain cars (the Honda Fit and Scion xA and VW Golf Mk IV all come to mind) that have high rpm even in 5th gear and would benefit from a 6th gear - but with automatics, the torque converter and lockup/unlock features actually add a lot of flexibility to even a 4 speed auto.
There was a big difference going from 3 speed automatics to 4 speed automatics with lockup torque converters (which lock and unlock on very flexible programs), but not so much in going from 4 speed to 5 speed automatics.
I owned and extensively drove all the vehicles mentioned above except the Fit.
I test drove a New Beetle with a 6 speed automatic. Guess what - not any better than the 4/5 speeds in the other cars (but from reports better than VW's old 4 speed).
What seems to make the most difference is the programming of the automatic. The 4 speed auto in our Dodge Neon was nimble, locking up and unlocking, downshifting and upshifting crisply and responsively. The automatic in the PT felt sluggish and reluctant to shift in comparison. I understand the auto in the Neon in the year before ours got dinged for being unresponsive, but got reprogrammed the following year.0
Generally speaking if you make it much lighter....it will be much less quiet...like the RAV4 we got rid of (forget music >55 mph). If you make it more powerful...it will suck more gas ...like the new RAV4 with the 268 HP V6 (16MPG). If it's 4X4...it will suck more gas (22.5 mpg...like the RAV4 we got rid of. If it's a Toyota it will be in for repairs all the time ...like the RAV4 we just got rid of. But the 2LT....XM fine up 90 MPH, 27.9 mpg, handles the twisties great with the 17s & sport suspension....0
I'm not seeing others making the same 27.9 MPG claims with a 2LT automatic other than maybe if they do all or nearly all highway driving.
Owners of the new 268 HP RAV4 do claim to get near 30MPG on the highway.
You compare city mpg of the V6 RAV4 with your highway mileage of an HHR and that is not valid.
The HHR has Cobalt powertrains and it is not a lightweight Cobalt, so it is expected that it performs and gets fuel economy like a Cobalt loaded down with many hundred pounds of passengers and cargo would.0
Good point on the automatic w/lockup converters micweb. I thought about that on my way home from work the day I posted my prior reply. My Silverado has the (seemingly standard) GM four speed, and I realized that it usually is in 4th on the steep grades around here, even though it occasionally unlocks the converter. So it's much more similar to having a five speed than most realize (or even a six), since it technically has a variable range between third and fourth where the converter is unlocked.
As far as the engine comments, I'm with jaxs1 on this. The 2004 Malibu LT sedan we had with the 3500 pushrod (I can hear the moans already) felt more powerful all around than the Cobalt sedan we recently had as a loaner. All that while returning roughly 24-26 city and as much as 35 highway miles per gallon. Besides the obvious image problems some might have with the pushrod, I can see this being a very good optional powerplant for the HHRs.0
We are very close to buying a 3.5 Impala and it seems pretty good, although "stigmatized" by the pushrod image.... I've heard good things about the mileage on GM's pushrod 6's...we are getting hosed by the mileage on our PT Cruiser (on the other hand it only cost us $12,600 new, and the savings pay for a lot of gas).0
Well, I think you should go buy a 268hp RAV4...let us know how much you really pay for it & after a few months let let us know how that overall ave mpg thing goes for ya. Good luck. Mine was a 2001, 2.0 liter 148 hp 4x4 automatic. Best tank ever was 24.5 mpg worst ever was about 21 & overall we averaged about 22.5....this was the same driving conditions as we now ave about 27 in the 2LT. The 2LT is much quieter, faster, quicker, less expensive, & more fuel efficient that that RAV4 ever dreamed of being. Sounds like those new ones that weigh several hundred pounds more than the last version and have the 268 hp engine are just what you're looking for.0
pao Posts: 1,867put the same turbo that the Pontiac Solstice GXP is getting this fall....the HHR is about 300 or so pounds heavier I beleive than our base solstice......GXP turbo to take it to approx 245 HP from 177HP in the base solstice.......would work for me...0
yats Posts: 2Why are there 31 technical bulletins listed under the HHR? It dates back to 2001. Is it a tried and tested engine that may have been used on another chevy car? I love the looks of it and I want the car, but the tech bulletins has given me pause. Should I wait for the 2007? [email protected]0
I have a 2003 Alero with the 2.2L ecotec engine which is the base HHR engine ...60,000 miles....ZERO defects so far. I also have an HHR with the 2.4L ecotec engine...7,300 miles....ZERO defects so far. Neither vehicle has EVER been back to the shop for anything.

I told him that I liked the car but with the high price of gas it would be nice if there was a diesel option. He told me to look for a diesel option starting in the 2008 MY. After I was done with him I asked the salesperson who came over "who that guy was". He indicated that he was from GM corporate and they were getting peoples opinion of their cars.
If GM puts a good clean diesel in the HHR I will put the HHR in my driveway.0
basiliskst Posts: 55One of HHR's great strengths is 5 star crash safety ratings in a relatively small car. The weight was put to good use in a strong and rigid chassis. (It also shows up in the smooth, well controlled ride.) I wouldn't trade the safety for lighter weight. The HHR is not under-powered in every day driving. The balance struck on multiple design objectives is pretty reasonable. I would like a 5-speed automatic transmission with autostick shifting, independent rear suspension, and four wheel disc breaks, but looking at the price Chevy did a pretty good job. The HHR is as good or better than any of its competitors for my tastes. (Other people may balance priorities differently and thus choose another favorite 5-door hatch.)0
gasa765 Posts: 6Was reading in I think it was Motor Trend Magazine that the 2.2L and the 2.4L engines would get an additional 3HP each.
Not much but may help some.
Was also reading there's a rumor going around that in early 2007 there would be an HHR with a 260HP engine like the one in the Saturn Sky! What a little rocket that would be!!0
dancerman Posts: 2203 HP? That's within the measurement error! And usually at near maximum RPM. Never used by most drivers. I vote for the diesel option.0
until the diesel engine is fitted to the HHR you will always be unhappy with either LOW power or fit a larger petrol engine and complain of LOW MPG.
this happened with the PT cruiser
it started with a 1600cc petrol then a 2litre petrol then a 2.4 petrol then a 2.4 turbo petrol all of which had low MPG.
THEN they fitted a 2.2 diesel Turbo (European version) and low and behold it had POWER and gave an average of 38mpg, such was the difference the stayhard petrol heads started to buy the new DIESEL version, or importing the 2.4 turbo petrol high output LHD.
The diesels of today DONT smell, are NOT as noisy as they used to be, yet give GOOD power for less fuel against the petrol engine.
But there again good old USA want BIG BIG BIG engines YET want BIG MPG as well (oil/fuel price crisis)
Fit a diesel engine , a GOOD diesel engine, dont spend millions of $$$$$ developing a suitable engine or makkle up an old existing diesel engine.
GRIT your teeth, save your money and buy in a GOOD well known engine that delivers what the HHR needs POWER and ECONOMY (Mercedes, Honda, GM ) to name a few.
are you really LISTENING or are you going to carry on making STUPID mistakes for the sake of "THE COMPANIES " name and continue manufacturing a vehicle that CANNOT compete within the motoring market place.
There are two types of people those that "say what they mean"
and those that "MEAN what they say"
CHEVROLET which are YOU??????????????0
GM Diesel engines in the UK are
Vauxhall Frontera 2.2 Diesel Turbo
Signum 1.9 " "
signum 3.0 v6 Diesel turbo
Vectra 2.0 diesel turbo
vectra 1.7 " "
all these engines are real fliers
General Motors owns:
-Daewoo (GM owns 44%)
-Fiat (GM has decided to divorce itself from Fiat as of Feb '05, but will retain 10% ownership.)
-Oldsmobile (brand discontinued)
-Suzuki (2.5%, from 20%)
so WHERE is the problem getting a GOOD diesel engine for the HHR?????????
maybe GM think you Americans are ALL stupid and wont take the initative and buy a quick diesel HHR
BMW have diesel engines now , the same as Jaguar or Saab so why NOT an HHR (makes sense to me.
We are unlucky in the UK you cant buy an HHR for love nor money (unless you import) and the diesel HHR I think would sell well over here.0
dschleicher Posts: 2i have a harley i take to daytona from pittsburgh,pa. put that diesel in there with 4 wheel disc. brakes, I'LL BUY IT, i'm going to wait for 2009 model its going to get a face lift that year,i know about the 1,000lb trailer wt.limit, the bike is about 620lb and the custom trl is 290lb, trailer is from PORTACHOPPER.COM0

Home Security in England, Arkansas
According to jsu.edu, each year there are over 2.2 million burglaries in the US, which means that every 15 seconds, a burglary is committed
Your Chances of Becoming a Victim of a Burglary in England, AR
No one likes thinking about potentially becoming a victim of crime in Arkansas, but every single day in the US a break-in happens every 4 seconds. It's easy to say "it won't happen to me" but 2.2 million families fall victim of burglaries each year in the US. Don't let your home in England become part of those statistics. Installing a new home security system and along with monitoring from ADT your home could be protected and your family safer.
Homeowners Insurance
Did you know that ADT Home Security monitoring is so effective that many homeowners insurance providers offer discounts to policyholders with their security systems. By having an ADT-monitored security system installed in your home, you may be able to save on your homeowners insurance premiums. That's money back in your wallet!
24 Hours a day monitoring
ADT monitoring is a leader in monitored home security, but it also offers important services such as Emergency Alert Monitoring, Flood Monitoring, and Fire and Smoke Monitoring.
ADT 6-Month Money Back Guarantee
ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Arkansas Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Arkansas residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
Before they even head to school in the fall, make sure they know how to check the tire pressure, fill the washer fluid in the car, and do a light check, making sure all brake lights, headlights and blinkers are working. Also check the windshield wipers. Consider giving them a car safety kit as a going away gift, one that includes flares and jumper cables, in addition to blankets, water and spare food.
About one or two weeks before the trip home, encourage them (strongly) to get an oil change in addition to doing these other safety checks.
Once the car is ready, make sure they know the route, plan to drive in daylight only, and have a plan for stopping every couple of hours to rest and stretch their legs. Stress the importance of not driving while tired! If they have a mountain pass to cross or other hazardous conditions, then chains or other precautions (and how to use them) are a must.
If your child plans to get a ride with a friend, do your due diligence to ensure this friend is a safe and trusted driver. Find out when they plan to leave, the route they plan to travel, when they will stop to rest on the drive, etc. If you have any doubts at all about the reliability of this friend, you have the right to voice your concerns!
And charge that cell phone!
No matter how they're traveling, also make sure they leave with fully charged cell phone batteries, or a way to easily charge en route (reminding them at the same time that texting or talking on the phone while driving is not okay).
Although letting them travel independently can be scarier for the parent than the child, the lessons they will learn about planning in advance, being safe while traveling or timing their travel are all life lessons they'll carry with them always—lessons that didn't cost you a penny in tuition, mind you!

I have my awesome wordpress website here that I have been working on for weeks now and all is great with it except for one thing! For some reason when you try to look at the archives pages the whole page's font gets smaller. I mean, any navigation link, text link, paragraphs, titles, etc.
I've checked my CSS and files but I can't seem to find out what is different with just that one page. I've used firebug to find out maybe the scripting is off in a section but I've had no luck finding anything different. I've tried to copy over from the twentyeleven archive.php page so I'd basically start as new as I could and then add in my extras but that didn't seem to work either.
Had anyone come across this issue before or has advice as to what might be happening?
I appreciate any feedback!

UPDATE (1/26/2012 2:56 pm Pacific: Kickstarter funding for the eye3 project was canceled by the project creator.
UPDATE: Since posting this, I've received a number of emails about this Kickstarter project and Lumenlab, the company behind it. Some people have complained that they have placed large orders for Lumenlab kits but have not received them. Before giving money to this Kickstarter campaign, I suggest that you visit the following web pages and read them carefully:
I've also asked Grayson and Kellie Sigler to respond to these concerns.
If you have already made a pledge to the eye3 project and want to cancel it, here is Kickstarter's explanation of how to cancel a pledge.
This looks cool — a flying robotic camera platform called the eye3. It's on Kickstarter and is being developed by Kellie and Grayson Sigler.
eye3 is a project to create a professional quality yet affordable flying robotic camera platform, or Drone. Almost anyone attempting to build a platform like the eye3 will be stunned by the complexity involved and the years of hands on experience needed to create a functional, safe device. The incredibly steep learning curve combined with the high cost of failure has kept this powerful tool out of the hands of thousands of creative people.
We Can Make Aerial Photography Easy for You
My husband and I have been building, programming and flying these complex machines for many years, giving us the knowledge and experience to produce a high performance flying robot in a low cost kit that practically anyone can assemble. Cinematographers, journalists, scientists, hobbyists: eye3 has the power, stability, automation and precision you need to produce professional results.

Procter & Gamble Co. is establishing a connection to beauty and personal care start-ups by striking a partnership with CircleUp, a crowdfunding Web site launched last year through which eight companies, including Episencial and Pangea Organics, have already raised $7.5 million. "Procter & Gamble has a long history of innovation that comes from both inside Procter & Gamble and outside. They view CircleUp as an interesting way to identify innovative products and brands," said CircleUp co-founder and chief executive officer Ryan Caldbeck, who noted that P&G isn't specifically looking to invest in firms raising money with CircleUp. Andrew Backs, manager of P&G's new business creation and Connect+Develop, the company's initiative to reach out to leading innovators, elaborated, "Partnering with CircleUp gives P&G yet another way to garner insights to current consumer behavior and interests, while also sharing with entrepreneurs business insights that might help them reach their full potential." An early outgrowth of the partnership is going to be P&G's participation in an incubator day CircleUp is holding in March. "If you are company, you often want to meet P&G and get their views. Those conversations are very difficult to start because P&G, as you can imagine, gets cold calls a lot. We help facilitate those conversations," said Caldbeck.

Perimeter Institute Associate Faculty member Niayesh Afshordi has won the Professor M. K. Vainu Bappu Gold Medal from the Astronomical Society of India (ASI).
PI Director Neil Turok commented, "This is well-deserved recognition of Dr. Afshordi's work. He is an outstanding young scientist who has already made important contributions to our understanding of the dark universe, including the distribution of plasma in galaxy clusters, the phenomenology of dark energy, and the structure of dark matter distribution on small scales."
Dr. Afshordi has made contributions to several areas in cosmology, which studies the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe. He specializes in interdisciplinary problems, and the award citation highlighted Dr. Afshordi's work probing dark energy "using both data from the Cosmic Microwave Background and galaxy surveys and his ideas to constrain primordial non-gaussianity."
Upon learning of the award, Dr. Afshordi said, "I am truly humbled by this honour from the Astronomical Society of India. I think, more than anything, this signifies the importance of international scientific collaboration and exchange that goes beyond borders. I would certainly like to use this opportunity to build stronger ties between Perimeter Institute and the University of Waterloo, and our colleagues at Indian academic institutions."
Established in memory of pioneering Indian astronomer Manali Kallat Vainu Bappu, the biennial award honours outstanding astronomers worldwide under the age of 35. Also honoured was Dr. Nissim Kanekar, of the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics, India. The medals will be presented at a ceremony later this year.

ODU Lax Travels To Drexel, Hofstra This Weekend
By ODU Athletics
April 13, 2006
Game: Old Dominion at Drexel - Friday, April 14th - Philadelphia, Pa. - 4:00 p.m.
Old Dominion at Hofstra - Sunday, April 16th - Hempstead, N.Y. - 1:00 p.m.
About Old Dominion: The Lady Monarchs have three regular season games left on their slate with road trips to Drexel, Hofstra, and William & Mary. Old Dominion enters Friday's game with the Dragons holding a 5-7 overall mark and 2-2 record in the CAA. The Lady Monarchs are coming off a 14-6 loss to #6 North Carolina, ODU's fifth game against a ranked opponent this season and fourth in the IWLCA Top 10. Old Dominion was led by the four-goal effort from junior Caroline Jacobs. Sophomore Kelly Kimener (Oakton, Va.) and senior Melody Shotwell also scored in the loss. Rookie Lindsey Belle, a defender who has started all 12 games thus far, tallied her first career assist. For the North Carolina, 10 different Tar Heels found the back of the Lady Monarch net with four Tar Heels registering multiple goals. The Lady Monarchs struck first, a mere 3:12 into the game, as Jacobs collected her own rebound off Tar Heel keeper Kristen Hordy. However, North Carolina responded by recording four answered goals to take the lead and never looked back. Kimener stopped the scoring barrage at the 14:26 mark to cut the Lady Monarch deficit to two, 4-2. North Carolina scored three of the next four goals and entered the half up 7-3. The Tar Heels opened the second half scoring three straight only to be answered by three consecutive goals by Jacobs. Jacobs' final tally with 9:56 left in the game cut North Carolina's lead to 10-6. In the final minutes of the game however, the Tar Heels reeled off four nets to finish the game. In goal, Old Dominion's Michelle Gannon made four stops playing a majority of the minutes in net. The Lady Monarch held a slight edge in groundballs, 25-24. Jacobs led the Lady Monarchs in groundballs by tying her career-high for the third time this season with seven. North Carolina won the battle of the draws, 13-9, with with junior Kristen Truax posting a team-high three for Old Dominion. Jacobs led ODU in caused turnovers with four.
A Glance At The Opponent - Drexel: The Dragons enter Friday's match-up with a 9-3 overall mark and 1-3 in the CAA race. Drexel opened up the season with eight straight non-conference victories, but saw their streak come to a stop in their first CAA games with losses to James Madison, George Mason, and Towson. The Dragons just recently ended the skid with a 10-9 victory over Delaware last weekend. Leading Drexel in the stats column is junior midfielder Emily Hoesch with 51 points stemming from 39 goals and 12 assists. Junior midfielder Kerry Kelly checks into the game as the Dragons' second leading scorer with 29 goals, 12 assists, and 41 points. Sophomore midfielder Katie Bradley is next in scoring checking in with 32 points from 12 goals and 20 assists. In net rookie Lauren LaBella has started all 12 games and is posting a .548 save percentage and 7.69 goals against average. Freshman Rachael Behrndt has seen limited action between the pipes recording 19 saves, a .513 save percentage, and a 8.48 goals against average in eight appearances.
The All-Time Series vs. Drexel: The series between the Lady Monarchs and Dragons began when Drexel entered the CAA in the 2002 season with the all-time record tied at 2-2.
Last Time Vs. Drexel: The Old Dominion women's lacrosse team pulled to within 7-6 with 18:14 remaining in the game, but the Drexel Dragons went on to score five of the game's last six goals to walk away with a 12-7 victory over the Lady back on April 10, 2005 at Foreman Field. Of the five Lady Monarchs registering goals, Ashley Stanwick led the way with three goals. Drexel was led in scoring my Colleen Rocks with three tallies, while Nicole Adams and Gwenna Johnson were the other Dragon multiple scorers on the afternoon. Five of Drexel's 12 goals came off of free position shots. The Dragons opened the game by scoring four unanswered goals by the 18:37 mark of the first half. Following a timeout, Old Dominion finally managed to light up the scoreboard by scoring twice in less than a span of a minute. Sarah Lautenbach got the Lady Monarchs rolling at 18:07 followed by a free-position tally by Caroline Jacobs with 17:31 left in the half to cut the Dragon lead to 4-2. Dragon leading scorer Colleen Rocks registered back-to-back free position goals to bump the Drexel lead back up to four, 6-2, as time was winding down in the first stanza. However, Old Dominion's Stanwick found the back of the Dragon net with just three seconds left in the half as the Lady Monarchs entered halftime down 6-3. Twice in the second half the Lady Monarchs were able to pull within one. Stanwick started the second half right where she left off scoring a minute and 15 seconds into the second half of play, followed by Colleen Carver finding Krista Townsend along the left side of the Drexel net firing away to put the Lady Monarchs within one, 7-5 with 23:38 remaining in the game. Jennifer Bonini extended the Dragon lead by two at the 18:30 mark, but a mere 16 seconds later had the Lady Monarchs back within one thanks to an unassisted tally by Katie Veneziale. Trailing, 7-6, Old Dominion gave up five Dragon nets while managing just one of their own in the game's final 12:48 of action, which included three position shot goals, two by Nicole Adams and another by Kerry Kelly. The Lady Monarchs' lone goal during the span came from Old Dominion's leading scorer of the day, Stanwick, with 8:50 left in the game, stopping a three-goal run by the Dragons. In net, Michelle Gannon made six saves, while back-up netminder Sarah Larson played out the game's final 4:27 and registered a save. Drexel's Kristen Urian recorded eight stops between the pipes. Old Dominion outshot the Dragons, 22-15, and also held the advantage in draw controls, 13-10, and groundballs, 26-22. The Lady Monarchs' draw control specialist, Veneziale, who ranked 14th in that week's NCAA stats, collected four, while Rocks amassed four as well to lead Drexel. Veneziale also led ODU in the groundball department with four as did Rocks for Drexel with a game-high five scooped up.
A Glance At The Opponent - Hofstra: Ranked 16th in the IWLCA Preseason Poll and the 2005 CAA regular season champions, Hofstra enters the weekend with a 5-6 overall mark and 2-2 record in league play. The Pride will host #13 William & Mary on Friday night before entertaining the Lady Monarchs on Easter Sunday. Hofstra was won two straight needing overtime to get past Delaware, 16-13, and avenging last year's championship game loss to Towson with a 15-9 win over the Tigers. Junior attack Kimberly Hillier currently leads the Pride amassing 43 points on 30 goals and 13 assists. Next in scoring is junior midfielder Casey McGrath, who has 30 goals along with Hillier and five assists for a total of 25 points. Third on the Pride in scoring is freshman midfielder Lauren Whitcomb with 18 points, 16 goals and two assists. In goal, Hofstra looks to sophomore Maisie Osteen who is posting an 11.62 goals against average and .438 save percentage.
The All-Time Series vs. Hofstra: Like Friday's opponent Drexel, the series between the Lady Monarchs and the Pride began when Hofstra entered the CAA in the 2002 season. The Lady Monarchs hold a 3-2 edge in the all-time series with the teams meeting once in the post season.
Last Time Vs. Hofstra: The 10th-ranked Hofstra women's lacrosse team needed double overtime to defeat the Old Dominion Lady Monarchs back on April 8, 2005 at Foreman Field as the Pride edged out the Lady Monarchs 9-8. The Pride's Kim Hillier tied the game up in regulation at 7-7 with 1.9 seconds on the clock and Casey McGrath sent home the game-winner with 2:11 left in the day's second overtime. McGrath, who tallied the game winner, and Old Dominion's Katie Veneziale each finished the afternoon with three goals. Tara Buecker was Hofstra's other multiple scorer with two goals, while Ashley Stanwick and Krista Townsend each found the back of the Pride net twice. Old Dominion never trailed in the first half of play and held on a one-goal edge at the half against the nationally ranked Pride, 4-3. Hofstra took over the lead for the first time with 13:37 remaining in regulation. Tara Buecker, off a feed from Jaime Irving, tied the game at 5-5 just two minutes earlier and then McGrath gave the Pride a 6-5 advantage on her first goal of the day. With time winding down, the Lady Monarchs' Stanwick tied the game back up, 6-6, with 5:09 remaining in the second half. Following Stanwick's goal, the Pride collected the draw and raced down field managing a shot on the ODU net. After keeper Michelle Gannon made the save, giving control back to Old Dominion, the Lady Monarchs brought the ball down to the other end of the field and held for a last second shot. With only 12 seconds remaining in regulation, Stanwick scored again, to what looked like would be the game-winning goal and the upset victory over the Pride.. However, Hofstra's Hillier quickly collected the ensuing draw and raced down field to find the back of the Lady Monarch net with only 1.9 seconds left in regulation to force overtime. McGrath collected her second tally of the game to give Hofstra the first goal of the overtime session, but Old Dominion once again managed to tie the game up and force sudden victory overtime. Veneziale shot point-blank at Hofstra keeper Lisa Papa and collected the ball as it ricocheted off her stick. Collecting the groundball, Veneziale found the back of the net and her second attempt to tie the score at 8-8. In sudden victory overtime, it was McGrath's third and final goal that gave the Pride its escape from Forman Field. In net, Old Dominion's Gannon played all 69:39 between the pipes registering a season-high 13 stops. Maisie Osteen recorded one save for the Pride playing the first half, while Lisa Papa took over the net for the second half and overtime to accumulate four saves. Hofstra held the slight edge in groundballs, 33-30. Buecker led the Pride with four, while Caroline Jacobs had a game-high six for the Lady Monarchs. Sarah Wosczyna also scooped up five groundballs in the loss. In draws, the Pride also held the advantage, 16-5, as Hofstra's Caitlin Connolly recorded seven. Old Dominion was led by Jacobs with three.
Next Up: The Lady Monarchs will travel to Williamsburg on Wednesday to close out the 2006 regular season with #13 William & Mary. Game time is 7:00 p.m.

Refreshing cold brew tea with Just T Sweet Berry, soda water, berries and ice.
Refreshing cold brew tea with Just T Ginger & Lemon, lemonade & ice.
Cold brew coffee is a smooth, cold beverage prepared by brewing freshly ground coffee with cold water.
We hear that Australia and New Zealand have been fighting over who has originally come up with this genius drink for kids!
Preparing coffee in an ibrik was almost forgotten publicly, until professionals took interest in it again over a decade ago. Ibrik coffee has been made at home continuously in e.g. Russia and Turkey but underrated by many for not being very professional.
Coffee beans are seeds that grow inside of a coffee cherry. We usually only use beans from the cherry but actually a lot of the taste of the coffee comes from the fruit. During recent year or so, the coffee world has realized that we are able to use the fruit as well. I think we're on a verge of a real game changer.
Cold brew coffee seasoned with exotic spices. Perfect for autumn and winter.
An energy boost also known as fatty coffee!
(incl. coconut oil and butter)
Traditional Indian spicy and sweet milk tea drink. Super cozy, warm and delicious drink for those cold winter days!
Velvety milk tea is in!

Deliciously sweet strawberry and chocolate freakshake.
Keep calm and go bananas! This cold brew freakshake with banana and coconut milk is to be enjoyed with good humor and friends.
Overly sweet, overly indulgent Frezza freakshake will make your mouth water.
If it is just another rainy Sunday afternoon, go on and try this bubbly cold brew lemonade. And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree...

Pat McQuaid, former president of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), has long been at odds with disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis. Recently, McQuaid filed a proceeding against Landis in a low-level Swiss court. The court ruled in McQuaid's favor, and Landis was given a list of things that he, according to the Swiss court, is not allowed to say about McQuaid. Find out what those things are in this week's excerpt from Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast.

text: morah 3 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I am giving ceramics classes in a summer camp for kids ages 5-13. I mostly do simple projects with them as I only see each group once a week for 45 minutes. My problem is that even simple projects tend to be complicated for some of the kids, and no matter how clearly I give (and repeat) directions -"remember to score and slip"," make sure the walls aren't too thin or they will break", etc. - there will be some kids who forget or don't get it. At the end of the day I find myself with more then 100 little projects, many of which will definitely break in the kiln (or before) unless I "fix" them. Now I know in an ideal world, it would be a good learning experience for kids to see that if they don't follow directions they will not be successful, but summer camp isn't an ideal world. It's all about kids' parents paying a fortune to keep their kids busy and happy. If I don't fix them the majority of the kids will go home with nothing- and be unhappy. Big no- no in the camping world.But if I fix them I am literally spending hours fixing- and sometimes redoing projects. This is crazy! I was wondering if anyone out there has had this problem and has come up with some viable solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Space Janitors: Episode 6
Pages PREV 1 2 3 NEXT
As a member of the U.S. Marine Corps I can tell you from first hand experience that yes this is plausible in a military.
If you're watching on HD, take a really close look at the clone chestplates ;)
And without Order
I'm on to you daystar! Don't think i don't know where you're referencing from! D<
You know me so well :D
Now, to take over the world...
I may just be really tired but that was the funniest one yet.
Tch, you sure know how to derail a thread!
No food, no drinks...and the only babe just left.
Cause hey, every Vergil Needs a Dante..and I'm just crazy enough to audition for the role. Don'cha think?
I <3 Vergil.
Now, let's not derail any longer :D
Darby always wanted a better job, he got to be Emperor for a few hours.
I like how he naturally assumed he was finally getting the respect he deserves. A Squall Trooper carrying his shampoo for him? Always wondered why they would not.
that was so good, I ejaculated diamonds
Just goes to show that comedy is about the unexpected.
Definately getting better
"Hunt them down... most of them!"
My favorite episode so far...this series is spectacular.
The perfect finish!
Evany has been keeping to the background after the first episode. There should be another Edith episode.
Best web series on the net. Keep it up!
Best episode so far! Keep up the great work guys! I look forward to this every week
Real shame theres only, what, 2 more episodes. Not to say they won't get money for more.
Fantastic episode. But, why is the dark lord sitting at my table?
Captcha: turkey sandwich
This officially receives my Tiger Sora seal of corrupted approval.
sweet jegus, this is the best episode yet!
Well spotted! I admit defeat. Damn you numerical consistency!
I like that the Production Supervisor and Director of Photography Mike Fly gets a shoutout in this episode. Though he pilots a fighter a bit like an epileptic butter churner.
It might look funny to the uninitiated, but this is exactly how one flies a TIE fighter. It takes a long time to learn the proper form.
When is this coming out on VHS? Or even better, Laserdisc?
I practically keeled over laughing during Darby's speech as the emperor. Pure gold.
Very Enjoyable,
Hope the Escapist keeps this one going
This is now the best thing on The Escapist ever.
Has anyone managed to show this to LucusArts or any TV or movie studio yet?
Hey guys, first off, thanks for all the kind words and support you've been heaving our way since we started. Second off, we got funding for Season 2!! The saga shall continue -- http://ipf.ca/webseries/june_18_2012/
I really like all the characters and the actors are fantastic at bringing them to life (I'm sure the director fits in there somewhere too).
Dennis' expression when the second torch came up was priceless.
Geoff Lapaire created and directed two of my top 5 web series. The other being Pure Pwnage.
This is great news! You really deserve it.
Also, Space Janitors Crew, are you the same or different person from Geoff? :)
Different, Geoff is Geoff.
But he said "damn it Darby" or something along those lines so he had to know who was responsible, ergo it was Dennis 4862.
Anyway I'm sure he'll be back, either that or we'll get Dennis 4863. They are clones after all.
You speak truth. Yeah, I got busted already on my comment. His armor clearly shows 4862 in the roasting scenes. Suprisingly, no one busted me on the number 13372. There are apparently only 10,000 Dennis clones aboard the ship (according to the Space Janitors website).
Wow. This is amazing. The Independent Production Fund comes through on something I like. Keep it up guys. You have something good here. Now can I get a Deck Crew t-shirt? (Congrats to Mr. Fly for "Versus Valerie" as well.)
I would've picked you up on that except I didn't know that fact at all. TOO MANY THINGS.
Great news! The show's been getting better every episode, so I can't wait to see what you do with the next season.
Wow, I think I can safely say that this is my favorite episode so far. Great stuff, keep up the good work! :-)

This project aims to uncover some insights about colours on the web, in particular, some questions I've struggled with as a designer.
With a crowd-sourced data-set, the ultimate goal is to answer questions like: What is the most common colour/s or hue/s on the web? Do certain industries prefer certain colours over others? What colours are generally found together?
Unfortunately, the colour that makes up a web design is not just the background and text colour found in the CSS. The overall impression of the website includes the images, so this app takes screenshots and analyses colour values of each pixel. This is not a 100% foolproof method, but screenshots are kept so they can be reanalysed later on with better colour-matching algorithms.
Built using Ruby and Sinatra for web, RMagick for colour processing and Grabshot (screenshotting tool using Phantom.js).

Red Hat Makes Virtualization Play With RHEL 7 Beta
Dec 12, 2013 2:54 PM PT
Red Hat on Wednesday launched Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 into beta.
RHEL 7 incorporates several changes, including a move from Oracle's MySQL to the open source MariaDB, the adoption of the XFS file system, and improvements in various areas, including storage and file size.
"Together, the attributes of RHEL 7 certainly help sustain Red Hat's position as a leading Linux supplier with a compelling value proposition," Bill Weinberg, principal at Linux Pundit, told LinuxInsider.
Taken together with Red Hat's October beta of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.3, the changes seem to indicate the company is ramping up its efforts to compete in the virtualization market, where up to now it has been a minor player.
What's New in RHEL 7
RHEL 7 is designed to provide the underpinning for future application architectures while providing the flexibility, scalability and performance needed to deploy across bare metal, virtual machines and cloud infrastructure.
It is based on Fedora 19 and the upstream Linux 3.10 kernel.
RHEL 7 uses Linux Container technology such as Docker, which lets users partition only the necessary system resources and security isolation to each application container, thus offering a lightweight alternative to Linux's KVM and providing increased scalability and agility within the IT infrastructure.
Data centers can migrate existing RHEL 6.5 systems to RHEL 7, as well as virtual machines from RHEL 6 hosts to RHEL 7 hosts, without downtime or the need to modify the virtual machines.
RHEL 7 has adopted the XFS file system as its default, scaled to support file systems of up to 500 TB. Red Hat also has increased the maximum standalone file system size for the ext4 file system from 16 TB to 50 TB, and it will offer the emerging btrfs file system as a technology preview.
Release 7 includes support for enterprise storage arrays; Red Hat has enhanced RHEL's scalable storage stack, which is a lower-cost alternative to storage arrays. RHEL 7 includes a Linux management framework that interfaces to popular system management frameworks through OpenLMI.
Admins can use existing Microsoft Active Directory domains because SAMBA 4.1 is included in RHEL 7. They can deploy RHEL Linux Identity Management in a parallel trust zone with Active Directory so users can leverage existing deployments.
Aloha, MySQL
MariaDB is an open source fork of MySQL and has been made the default database for RHEL 7 because "we strongly believe in the community's growth and commitment to innovation," Mark Coggin, the company's senior director of product marketing, told LinuxInsider. It is fully compatible with MySQL.
"MariaDB is getting a lot of recognition in the industry as a great alternative to MySQL," noted Al Hilwa, a program director at IDC.
Red Hat will continue to support MySQL in more mature editions of RHEL, including RHEL 6.
The move to MariaDB "should provide clean continuity for MySQL users and applications, with the added benefit of MariaDB having an outward-facing and active developer community that is not beholden to a single commercial entity," suggested Linux Pundit's Weinberg. "Enterprise customers who absolutely insist on sticking with legacy MySQL can always look to Oracle and Oracle Linux for support."
Virtualization and Red Hat
RHEL and RHEV "are complementary in a variety of ways," although RHEL is a "strong general virtualization solution" and RHEV is aimed at advanced use cases for virtualization, Red Hat's Coggin said. The company will "ensure [RHEL 7 and RHEV 3.3] are tested as a unit" for customers seeking to run RHEL 7 in an RHEV environment.
The inclusion of Docker may boost Red Hat's push into virtualization because the technology "solves an important problem of standardizing the way containers work across systems," IDC's Hilwa told LinuxInsider. "That is a great move."

When Aaron Maine looks back on his early work as Porches, he's often struck by how sad and angry it can feel. "That music turned out a lot more pessimistic than I intended it to be," he says. "But when I took a sad moment and turned it into a song, it was a cathartic, positive, and clean process. For me, those moments were victories. Feeling better," he adds, "was making a song."
As it turns out, Maine is very good at making songs. Over the last few years, the 27-year-old singer and songwriter has released a wealth of material on a number of influential labels, including singles on Terrible (2014's Prism), Birdtapes (2013's Townie Blunt Guts) and Seagreen (2014's Leather), as well as a beautiful yet crushing full-length on Exploding in Sound (2013's Slow Dance In The Cosmos). And in the process he's become a magnetic live presence while playing out in New York, gaining the notice of discerning listeners and labels alike. February 2016 marks the much-anticipated release of Pool, his debut full-length for Domino and a major step forward for him—as an evolving singer/songwriter, and as a nascent producer. Written and recorded almost entirely in the Manhattan apartment he shares with his partner and frequent collaborator, Greta Kline a.k.a Frankie Cosmos, Pool is an elegantly drawn set of gorgeous, synth-driven pop songs that were influenced, in part, by settling in the city as an artist and a person. "I'm feeling like I'm in a more permanent situation than I've been in before," he says. "There is something special about recording at home. It's why it sounds the way it does. Being able to obsess over it on your own time and being in your own little cube knowing you're surrounded by the city, being able to go so deep into it and to spend hours building it, loving it: all of that allowed me to reflect and focus on things a little closer."
The album was recorded twice - the first time a crash-course in learning Logic and navigating his first synthesizers and drum machines, the second time starting from scratch with a better hold on the recording process - and eventually mixed by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grizzly Bear, Beach House, Tobias Jesso Jr.) in his Los Angeles studio. Sometime in 2014, Maine, a long-devoted Neil Young fan, began listening to house and electronic music and contemporary pop music more closely and frequently than he ever had before. What followed is a hypnotic and expansive re-articulation of the melancholy we've come to expect, from the pristine harmonies of "Hour" to the undulating R&B of "Underwater" to the Auto-tuned majesty of the title track. "I feel like the lyrics are like mood boards or collages of my experience in New York," he says. "Rather than focusing on a particular incident or story like I have in the past, I wanted to be more abstract, in order to paint a very specific mood: ideas of lightness and darkness, water, air, movement, acceptance and security." The result is a sophisticated and fully immersive listening experience, with Maine's voice at its center. "I'm getting a little older and a little more in touch with my emotions," he adds. "I just wanted to make this album more positive and to make sure that my message was coming across clearly this time. I never wanted my music to bum people out. I feel like I naturally gravitate towards the more melancholic experiences in life, but this time around I tried to dissect those moments and somehow extract what was so beautiful about them to me. With this record, I want people to feel something different, something subtler. I want people to feel dark, beautiful and strong when they hear this new record. I want people to put it on at a party and go wild, to put it on just walking or driving around. I want them to fall in love to this record."

There are only 9 months until I turn 30! Ack!! It's time for a quarterly 30 by 30 check in!
- Thing 1: I have really been slacking on getting to the Utah temples. I have been to Salt Lake. I need to start planning some trips!
- Thing 4: I have managed to send 23 pieces of mail. So it seems that I'm right about on track with this one.
- Thing 5: I think I've mostly solved the constant headache problem so I'm looking forward to being more active this summer and getting back into shape!!
- Thing 7: I have been to 11 new restaurants! This is a fun one and keeps me from going to the same places over and over again. 19 more to go!
- Thing 11: I subscribe to this great craft project subscription thing. It's so fun. Every month they send you a box with everything you need to make 4 simple crafty projects. So far I have made: glitter votive glasses, glitter earrings, drop earrings, and a gold bead ring. It's so fun doing the jewelry pieces. I kind of want to sign up for a whole jewelry making class! Anyone want to join?!
- Thing 12: During the month of February, Marissa and I watched the top 5 romantic movies of all time. With each movie we watched we tried to cook a themed dinner to go with it. It was so much fun!! And it helped me knock off 2 movies: Gone with the Wind and Casablanca!
- Thing 17: I have read 2 new to me books! I read the Book Thief and The Noticer. Both very good. I enjoyed them. And I'm almost done with Mindy Kahlings Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me. Such a funny read. I've really like it so far and it's had me laughing out loud at points.
- Thing 22: I joined the Junior League at the end of last year!! I had wanted to join in NYC but just didn't have the time so I decided to join here. Being a provisional was a lot of fun. It's been somewhat of an adjustment being an active member but overall I'm enjoying it and looking forward to being more active with it in the future.
- Thing 25: Done and done :)
- Thing 29: I need to go through and make a list of all of the hymns and check off the ones I can already play. I can play a good handful of them!
- Thing 30: I have made 24 new-to-me recipes! So right on track with this one.
In looking over my goals I realized I kind of went a little crazy on the traveling goals. If I had unlimited funds and time off, I could totally accomplish them all. But those things called working and money I think will make doing all of them rather difficult. So I'm going to change a few. They're my goals-I can do what I want. :)
(perhaps at some point I'll add in some photos here...)

text: In this tutorial, Andrew Devis goes through an under-used effect in Premiere Pro which can be a real shot-saver by giving you the option to completely re-light a scene with multiple lights if needed. In this tutorial, Andrew shows how to use the effect to create a volumetric lighting effect for one shot and then to save a shot which suffers from being taken in a very bright environment and lastly a shot what has issues with being too dark in places. As well as being able to re-light a shot this effect also offers an exposure control which although somewhat linked to an ambient light is still a very useful feature to have in Premiere Pro.

Dennis Farina, the former Chicago cop who went on to star in "Law & Order," "Luck" and numerous films, has died. He was 69.
Farina died Monday morning in Scottsdale, Ariz., after suffering a blood clot in his lung, his publicist Lori De Waal said Monday.
Born Feb. 29, 1944 in Chicago, Farina served with the Chicago Police Department for 18 years. While he was a detective he took parts on Chicago theater stages and in small movie and TV roles.
"The entire CPD family was saddened to hear of the passing of Dennis Farina, a legendary character actor who was a true-blue Chicago character," CPD Superintendent Garry F. McCarthy said in a statement Monday. "After an 18-year career in the Chicago Police Department, Dennis had a wonderful second act in life, bringing his distinctive Chicago voice and values to millions of people. No matter how far he got, Dennis never forgot where he came from, and while he was cherished by audiences around the world, he will always be first and foremost a guy from the Near North Side who helped make this city safer. We respect him for his service, we regard him for his talent, and we will remember him always."
After turning to acting full time in the 1980s, he often played police officers or mobsters. He appeared in such films as "Midnight Run," "Get Shorty," "Snatch" and "Saving Private Ryan." He recently produced and starred in the independent film "The Last Rites of Joe May."
In 2004, he succeeded Jerry Orbach on "Law & Order," playing Det. Joe Fontana for two years. In HBO's short-lived horse-racing drama "Luck," he gave an incredible performance as Gus Demitriou, the right-hand man to gangster Chester Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman). Last season, he guest-starred as Walt on Fox's "New Girl."
He is survived by three sons, six grandchildren and Marianne Cahill, described as "the love of his life of 35 years," according to TheWrap.
Donations can be sent to The 100 Club of Chicago, which assists the families of fallen police officers and firefighters of Cook County, in lieu of flowers.

There's a new game in town, and Artirius of the Aerie Peak server has noticed it, and admittedly, so have I. With attunements gone, it is now possible for any level 70 to go in and see tier 5 and 6 content whenever they want. Of course, they don't generally have a prayer of actually downing bosses unless they have 20-24 well geared people to help them out.
That's where gold comes in. With a few thousand gold, you can buy your way into a tier 6 group that doesn't need the tier 6 armor and go along for the ride. A few hours later, you come out on the other end with Illidan dead and a few shiny new drops, even if you've never set foot in Karazhan.
It's not just people trying to buy these slots in the trade channel either. As Artirius observes, many raid groups are actively soliciting for buyers for their raid slots. On my own server, one Horde group is trading tier 6 runs for large quantities of certain herbs, promising that all but a few select drops will go to the people who buy their slots with stacks of Netherbloom and Ghost Mushrooms.
So what's causing this?

Despite all the political tension in Crimea, it's nice to know things are still safe enough at the zoo for a zebra to get it on with a donkey.
Because, really, in some weird, small way, it's a symbol of hope. Like an olive branch. Except, in this case, it's a zebra … getting it on with a donkey.
But as odd as it may sound, things (ahem) worked out, and now we have an adorable new reminder of what can happen when we put aside our differences for the shared goal of peace and love.
That living, breathing reminder is a beautiful baby "zonkey" named Telegraph, who recently came into the world at the Taigan Zoo park near Crimea's main city, Simferopol.
Of course, a zonkey is just what it sounds like. Half zebra. Half donkey. Possibly even part lion depending on what kind of shenanigans were going on inside the stall.
(And if you accept my rather misguided understanding of how conception works.)
But one thing that's perfectly clear is that this little guy is ridiculously cute. And everyone is talking about him.
So, it sort of makes sense that Telegraph was named for a local newspaper, honoring the publication's fifth anniversary. Though, when you think about it, that may or may not be a compliment to the publication.
"Congrats. We named an ass after you."
Either way, Telegraph is just lucky to be alive. Although cross-breeding of equines is not unheard of, it is rather rare and unconventional. And proper zoos aren't overly keen on the idea.
But this facility says that toying with nature was never a part of the plan.
You see, Telegraph's mother — the zebra — was uncomfortable in her enclosure and had been without a mate for quite a while. Presumably, she spent most of her time being bitter with the other single girls in book club.
Eventually, the zoo moved the lonely zebra into a different part of the complex where she could be surrounded by other hoofed animals.
This included her dream donkey.
Mind you, it's also possible that she was simply desperate and the donkey was drunk.
"I like your stripes."
No matter how it all went down, we're all thankful. Because now we have this silly looking thing with a brown upper body and zebra legs. And visitors to the zoo are absolutely loving him.
Of course, to be fair, all baby animals tend to be a big draw. Especially when you look like you've been pieced together with spare parts.
Think about it.
An adorable baby polar bear with a tortoise shell would pretty much stop the world from spinning. Darwin would be cheering from his grave. And scientists might go crazy trying to figure out just how the hell that actually happened.
Steve would finally own up to it.
"I'm sorry! I was bored. I fed them bourbon."
But, no matter the species, whenever you get a cute baby cross-breed, you sort of have to enjoy it while you can. Generally speaking, hybrid animals don't reproduce.
They tend to be infertile.
(It's a science thing. I don't quite get it. Mr. Ware tried to teach me in high school, but I was far more interested in depriving others of their education.)
That said, being infertile might not be such a bad thing if, say, you're a rather confident liger and you do well at the clubs.
Child support ain't cheap. Liger on!
Anyway, that's the story of a cute little zonkey who is currently enjoying his 15 minutes of worldwide Internet fame.
Telegraph, we like your stripes.
