Rehnquist presided over President Clinton's impeach- ment trial in 1999, helped set- tle the 2000 presidential elec- tion in Bush's favor, and fashioned decisions over the years that diluted the powers of the federal government while strengthening those of the states.

Every year at Oscar time, somebody comes up with the bright idea of making the Academy Awards into a fair fight. Instead of making the voters choose among five widely different performances, they say, they ought to have five actors playing the same scene. That way you'd really be able to see who was best. It's an impractical idea, but "Twilight Zone -- The Movie" does almost the same thing.
It takes four stories that are typical of the basic approach of the great "Twilight Zone" TV series, and it has four different directors try their hand at recapturing Rod Serling's "wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination." And the surprising thing is, the two superstar directors are thoroughly routed by two less-known directors whose previous credits have been horror and action pictures.
The superstars are John Landis ("The Blues Brothers") and Steven Spielberg ("E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial"). The relative newcomers are Joe Dante, whose "The Howling" was not my favorite werewolf movie, and George Miller, whose "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" is some kind of a manic classic. Spielberg, who produced the whole project, perhaps sensed that he and Landis had the weakest results, since he assembles the stories in an ascending order of excitement. "Twilight Zone" starts slow, almost grinds to a halt, and then has a fast comeback.
Landis directed the first episode, which stars Vic Morrow in the story of a bigot who is transported back in time to Nazi Germany and Vietnam and forced to swallow his own racist medicine. This segment is predictable, once we know the premise, and Landis does nothing to surprise us. Because we know that Morrow was killed in a helicopter accident during the filming of the segment, an additional pall hangs over the whole story.
Spielberg's segment is next. It stars Scatman Crothers as a mysterious old man who turns up at an old folks' home one day and literally gives the residents what they think they want: to be young again. The easily anticipated lesson is that one lifetime is enough. Spielberg's visual style in this segment is so convoluted and shadowy that the action is hard to follow; the master of clear-cut, sharp-edged visuals is trying something that doesn't work.
But then comes Joe Dante's weird, offbeat segment about a traveler (Kathleen Quinlan) who strays off the beaten path and accepts an offer of hospitality from a fresh-faced young kid who looks healthy and harmless. Once Quinlan is inside the roadside farmhouse where the kid lives, however, she's in another dimension -- a bizarre world telepathically projected by the boy's imagination. The kid loves video games and TV cartoons, and he's trapped a whole group of adults in his private fantasies. The art direction in this segment is especially good at giving the house interior a wonderland quality.
George Miller's fourth segment stars John Lithgow in a remake of a famous "Twilight Zone" TV story in which a nervous air traveler sees (or imagines that he sees) a little green man hacking away at the engine of his airplane. But there couldn't be a little green man out there -- could there?
The beauty of "Twilight Zone -- The Movie" is the same as the secret of the TV series: It takes ordinary people in ordinary situations and then (can you hear Rod Serling?) zaps them with "next stop -- the Twilight Zone!"

APUG.ORGI am using the Tetenal E6 3-bath kit with a Jobo CPE2plus for a few months now. My results are acceptable but shadows are generally too dense and details in low-light areas are becoming difficult to recover when scanning. This leads to my question: is there a way to reduce/control the contrast of a film during the E6 development process?
APUG.ORGHi all, I have a couple of quick questions:
APUG.ORGTetanal E6 has finally arrived at Freestyle Photo! For those who have not used it, I highly recommend it. Gives results as good as the Kodak chemisry, but easier to use. German engineered.
APUG.ORGIs anyone aware about contents of 1L C-41 and E-6 development kits from Tetenal? What I am interested in is to find out if:
APUG.ORGLast year I tried the Rollei Digibase C41 kit but the stab-bath left residue on the film- I couldn't solve that problem. So this year I thought I'd try again, now with the 'simpler' Tetenal 3-bath kit (Tetenal Colortec C-41 Rapid Negative 1 litre Kit).
RANGEFINDER FORUMDoes anyone know if TetenalC-41 Press Kit for Color Negative Film (Powder) has been discontinued? What is the alternatives if this is accurate? Unicolor?
APUG.ORGFor sale is one Kodak Professional Single Use E6 Kit, Cat# 107 7643. Exp Date 07-2011. I bought this kit from Calumet in November of 2010 for about $60 and haven't used it. It has been stored in my cool basement still sealed from the factory. Time to sell this to someone who will make better use of it than I will.
APUG.ORGI was looking into getting this kit. I read the pdf and one thing is sort of catching me off guard. If you buy the 1 pint kit it gives you a total of 472ml of liquid to work with at each stage. I use a patterson universal tank and I usually develop with 600ml of liquid. I believe the minimum is 500ml. I shoot 120 film.
APUG.ORGJust ordered an Arista 3 bath E-6 kit. What worries me is that there is no indication that it has any sort of preservative. Dont want my slides moldy and faded in 3 years. Anyone know if it is possible to use Kodaks E-6 final rinse, with the preservative Formalin in it, as a final step after running aristas bath kit with blix? Kodak Final Rinse usage with Arista 3 bath E6 kit
RANGEFINDER FORUMI've been using Tetenal 5 Gal C-41 kit and have been looking for the Kodak 6 step E6 kit, but it has been discontinued. Freestyle has a three step kit. Other vendors sell Tetenal, but some do not ship. In the U.S., what are our choices regarding E6 Kits. E6: Kit Selection .. Few Choices..
APUG.ORGApparently Kodak has discontinued the 5 liter single-use 6 bath E6 kit. Can anyone suggest a good quality replacement? I have heard that the 3 bath kits are not as good as the Kodak.
RANGEFINDER FORUMA couple of firsts,
RANGEFINDER FORUMJust got a newsletter from Freestyle with an announcement 'Tetenal Joins Forces With Freestyle To Expand Distribution'. They are going to distribute C-41, RA-4 and E-6 color chemical kits, as well as black and white film developers. This is great news, especially for home E-6 and C41 soupers. :D Yayy! Tetenal chemistry from Freestyle
APUG.ORGHi all,
APUG.ORGJust wanted to inform that when Tetenal Ultrafin starts looking like tea (somewhere between straw-yellow and dark brown), toss it, it's about to fail.
RANGEFINDER FORUMJust to get an idea, I was wondering if anybody would be kind enough to post a few images of 35mm films other than Fuji Neopan 400 and 1600 developed in Emofin ?
APUG.ORGAs part of an estate purchase I acquired about 15 boxes of this film developer,neatly packed in small plastic bottles or glass ampoules.
APUG.ORGI am new to colour processing - and processing in general. All goes well except I end up with splotches all over the dried film. What I do is take the negatives straight out of the Jobo tank after the Stabiliser stage, and let them hang to dry.

Authorities say they're "confident" bodies found in an isolated wildlife area are those of two young Iowa cousins who disappeared while riding their bikes last summer.
Black Hawk County sheriff's Capt. Rick Abben said that's based on evidence at the scene and the preliminary investigation. However, autopsies are still pending.
Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins vanished while riding bikes in Evansdale in July. Elizabeth was 8 and Lyric was 10.
Hunters found the bodies Wednesday in a rural park about 25 miles away.
Local and state police and the FBI joined in a massive search that continued for months after the girls disappeared. No one has been charged in the case.
Evansdale is about 90 miles northeast of Des Moines.

What would be a good, smoky tasting vegetarian substitute for ham hocks in split pea soup?
Would like to try the slow cooker recipe here on the site, but how to make it vegetarian by not using a ham hock? Liquid smoke?
re: hill food
The ingredient label on Liquid Smoke: water, natural Mesquite smoke flavor, vinegar, molasses, caramel color, natural flavoring.
All natural, vegan.
Not sure where you get the idea that it "is so full of chemicals..."
re: wyogal
I dunno anytime the words 'natural flavoring' (what does that mean? all sorts of bad stuff is natural) is used my spidey sense tingles. I want to control what goes in so maybe I'm ocd, it just sounds wrong to try to get good smoke flavor out of a bottle. there I said it. I have a distinct and intractable prejudice. but I believe it is no safer than physically smoking the stuff with real wood. but that's fodder for elsewhere.
re: hill food
I saw a program on how they make liquid smoke. Believe it or not, it IS made from real smoke over real wood. I am a recent convert to the stuff since then. And yes, no safer. But, it is the real deal.
re: wyogal
I hear tell that Wrights is the brand that tastes most authentic.
re: wyogal
+1 on the liquid smoke. I'm really obnoxious when it comes to what's truly "natural," and even I eat the stuff. Plus a quick web search will show you that it is in fact less hazardous than smoking your food.
re: hill food
I purchased a cheap soldering iron I use only for smoking cheese, fish, and small pieces of meat and sausage. Put food on a grate, place your iron and favorite wood chips in a small metal container, plug it in, cover with a cardboard box and wait till the smoke subsides. .... and I think the words "natural flavors" sounds more appetizing than ..."we get a piece of charred wood and pour water over it" or "you are eating ashes"
re: hill food
Actually Hill Food, I can tell you how they make it easily. The wood is set to a smoking smolder in one chamber connected by tubing to a chamber. That chamber is purified or distilled water. The smoke enters that in the lower part of the chamber, filters through the water, and exits through a chimney at the top of the chamber of liquid. The smoke flavor remains in the water, and that is Liquid Smoke. The term Natural Ingredients simply means that man didn't make the water, and he didn't make the wood burnt to create this incredible flavor. I think your "spidey sense" is leading you astray on this one in every possible way known to man.
I've used smoked mozzarella in Hoppin' John as substitute for bacon.
Don't know if you do dairy. Wonder if the texture would work in your soup...
re: Karen_Schaffer
I second the smoked sea salt. It's awesome and really imparts a depth without tasting artificial.
re: Karen_Schaffer
Yep, smoked salt is the answer. Spanish pimenton adds smokiness as well, but brings other flavors with it.
re: JungMann
That's exactly the point. Pimenton, or paprika, is a common response to these inquiries (see below) and a good choice. On the other hand, only the smoked salt is (other than the smoke) flavor neutral. I find each is good to have around and to know how to use.
re: JungMann
pimenton is awesome stuff, but to a new user I would say a little can go a mighty long way. go slow.
Lapsang souchong tea works great! Put some in an infuser or cheese cloth and drop it in the pot. Or add as a brewed liquid.
re: christinegallary
Or for less heat but good flavor, consider anchos (smoked poblanos).
Good quality smoked paprika is simply incredible for things like this. I get it from these people: http://www.sawmillcreekfarms.com/Spic...
It is so fantastic.
re: escargot3
+1, must try and make some smoked onions....
I can think of all KINDS of ways to use these:)
in a mustard viniagrette
part of an antipasto
in sweet potato salad
in veggie & squash lasagna
part of onions
in French Onion soup (perhaps too much?)
As an accompiniament to a cold rare roast of beef, with a balsamic dressing on the onions, and horsey sauce on the side. Roasted/grilled asparagus.
Wow. My imagination is poppin'! Sorry, Off Topic...
Chipotle pepper powder or smoked Spanish paprika. I use these all the time when I'm making smoky vegetarian anything.
re: debbiel
Deborah Madison's split pea soup recipe calls for smoked paprika and it really is amazing.
re: debbiel
i use smoked paprika for a lot of dishes -- especially fun with roasted garbanzo beans.
re: escargot3
Yes escargot3! I love that use too. And sprinkled on popcorn. And mixed with yogurt for a veggie dip. And used when I cook greens. And in lots of bean dishes. And a local cheese maker has a wonderful soft ripened goat cheese dusted in it that is fantastic. And...
re: jill kibler
I second the smoked tofu suggestion - especially as a sub for pork.
I once used sesame oil for this purpose when cooking for a vegan - it gave it an almost bacony taste. I was pleasantly surprised.
Does split pea soup need a smoky flavor component?
none here
nor here
uses a pinch of smoked paprika
re: paulj
Judging from the pot of split pea soup I'm just finishing - YES. Didn't use have ham hock ( or liquid smoke) so used about 6 slices of bacon. Browned it, softened the veggies in the bacon fat and added broken up bacon a few hours before it was done. Smelled great while cooking, but not nearly bacony/smoky enough - So have spent the week playing with spices to enhance flavor - It's a shame, texture and split-peainess was lovely. It just needs smoke - (No, didn't increase the bacon/bacon fat, if I'm gonna kill myself I'd rather have the bacon straight up and crunchy-)
Maybe vegemite? I've never eaten it, but I do know that it's very earthy and savory. Might give the soup that oomph.
Try smoked salt, maybe the one from Shagbark syrup people in Indiana. A few grains for finishing salt work fine for me.
I agree with the lapsang souchon rec. I grind the tea leaves and then sift the powder and repeat grinding and sifting until I have enough for a spice jar with sprinkle cap. I use it on ribs and steaks for a smoky flavor without going outside to grill. The suggestion for this came from Sally Schneider's A New Way to Cook.
re: magnolia
I go with Spanish smoked sweet paprika if I want to achieve a smoky flavor. In small amounts the paprika flavor doesn't really intrude with anything and the smokiness is just right. In the past I've also used Liquid Smoke with success.
Have not tried it but there's a line of products called bacon salt, which are vegetarian.
Would love to hear feedback about these salts.
I have used liquid smoke with good results, but you need to be careful not to use too much.
re: mrsdebdav
I've never used the salts but I really enjoy Baconnaise. My go-to smoked salt is Maldon.
re: wyogal
It was a vegetarian who gave me the idea. I use 1 tablespoon or less of sweet or maharaja curry per pound of split peas.
I agree with the many who've suggested smoked paprika (a good quality one). Or a very small amount of Wright's- I use an eyedropper.
Have been meaning to try bacon salt one of these days; it's good to know that it's meatless, for the sake of a few vegetarians in the family. I'd wondered about that.
It's been a while since you asked your question. Sorry about responding so late. If I wanted to simulate the flavor, I would make the pea soup first. Then I would lightly fry a few Boca Burgers (vegetarian hamburger simulations with a nice smoky flavor) and dice them into chunks and add them shortly before serving. Their flavor will spread easily. I'm just not sure what sitting in the soup for a long time would do to their texture. In my experience, I think this will be a pretty good approximation of what you want. It's not ham, but it's good and it's vegetarian. Enjoy!
re: Caroline1
Try whole back cardamom seed pods in long cooking dishes, available from Penzeys. I use them in soups and beans. Count how many pods you add so you can retrieve them all before serving (okay if you miss one, they're just not a good texture to chomp on). Really good smokey flavor! For a quick smokey jolt, JD's Bacon Salt or other smoked salt (I use Maldon smoked salt as a finishing salt). JD's also makes Baconnaise, which I find rather salty, but on a BLT without the B...mmm! And try it with peanut butter! JD's products are kosher, too (the mayo is dairy) which is a big plus since I keep kosher, though for some years I didn't so I know what flavor depth these substitutes are supposed to emulate. If you aren't kosher, slather chicken with before baking or grilling. if you are kosher, try home-smoking kosher turkey wings in a wok with hickory or mesquite chips to add to beans or soup. Years ago there was a smoked yeast product called Bac'n Yeast (by Sovex) which was fantastic, but like so many other fantastic things, it's no longer available. If nothing else, though, do try the black cardamom, 6-8 pods to the pot; you'll very pleasantly surprised. (By the way, the term "natural flavoring" is the new way to say MSG, which is, after all, a natural product.)
re: dereuff
I never tried the sovex brand, so I don't know how they compare, but yesterday I found a smoked torula yeast called Bakon at my local Walmart. It was in the section with the canned vegetarian meat products. I know that not every Walmart has this section, so I'm not sure how widely available it is. The manufacturers website is www.ohly.com.
I was intrigued by it, but I am not really sure how to use it as far as amounts, applications and when to add it during cooking. I am fairly new to vegetarian cooking. What were your favorite ways to use the smoked yeast? Any tips would be great.
re: Caroline1
Does anyone remember TVP (texturized vegetable protein), made from soybeans? You may be able to find "ham" flavor chunks, and they still make "chicken", "beef" and "bacon" flavored TVP somewhere (Think "BacOs"). There is even a "Taco" TVP that my confirmed beef eating man can't tell from hamburger in tacos or nachos.
All of the TVP products are meant to go in long-cooking foods, even tho' the taco TVP is ready in 10 minutes (finer grind, maybe?).
Another "smokey" flavor comes from nutritional Torula Yeast (not for baking!). It may be a by-product of the rum making industry? Delicious!
re: ginger71
Problem with TVP is that virtually all soy products in the US are now made from genetically manipulated frankensoy. This is not true of European products, though- their regulatory agencies are not industry controlled & as far as I know GM ingredients are still banned there.
Smoked tofu available in asian markets has a nice firm texture, can be shredded or diced and can add lots of smokey flavor.
I'm putting my vote it for smoked paprika. I also use chipotle in adobo when a recipe calls for smokiness and could use some heat. It's not bacon but it tastes fine.
I've used liquid smoke, ancho powder, guajillo powder, paprika, and, in the appropriate recipes, I add a spoonful of baconnaise to the base of a soup or stew that would have had the slight oiliness and salty edge of added pork products.
That's what I'd do, but the tiniest splash ever. I mean, start with a half tsp., taste and take it from there.
a drop of liquid smoke and some sweet potato!
i like the smoked tofu idea a lot, but i've never had smoked tofu. i'm not sure how your texture would hold up in that instance.
re: mamachef
but then it's not like we actually HAVE cold weather anymore in most of the US

What is 'contract of guarantee' and state the conditions when guarantee is considered invalid?
Answers to the questionDisplay order
nikita.gup ta1
A Contract of guarantee is a contract to perform the promise, or discharge the liability, of a third person in case of his default. The person who gives the guarantee is called the surety; the person in respect of whose default the guarantee is given is called the principal debtor, and the person to whom the guarantee is given is called the creditor. A guarantee may be either oral or written. [section 126]. - - [Person giving guarantee is also called as guarantor. However, Contract Act uses the word surety which is same as guarantor]. - - Three parties are involved in contract of guarantee. Contract between any two of them is not a contract of guarantee. It may be contract of indemnity. Primary liability is of the principal debtor. Liability of surety is secondary and arises when Principal Debtor fails to fulfill his commitments.Invalid Guarantees: A guarantee is invalid in case of an assent obtained by misrepresentation, of if some material fact is concealed. Where person gives a guarantee on the condition that the creditor shall act upon it until another person has joined in it as a co-surety, the guarantee is invalid if the other person does not join.

What up blogger? Today's blog will not be about my mom. Sorry to air all that over the blog yesterday. She just loves that Justified. Anyhow onto today's blog which is about baseball. Now I will be honset with you that I have not been following baseball much the last few years. I think some of it is due to the fact that the Nationals showed up in DC the year I left. Kind of like my nephew CJ. Shout to CJ and Maddie. Anyhow I have just fallen off with watching baseball. Part of that is also because i have become a big soccer fan and baseball was the sport that suffered. Anyhow I still like baseball and am going to the M's opening night tomorrow and I am fired up. Usally the home opener is during the day and I can't go because I am at work but tomorrow I am going to be at that game with Miller lite in hand having fun. Yell hi at me if you see but no I won't buy you that beer Miles is always talking about

The whole tethering issue gets my back up.

I thank Apple for this... I tethered mobile phones for years, by serial, IR etc, nobody says a thing... Then the iPhone comes along and has tethering as a paid for option... It's been downhill from there!
A rather eclectic selection of countries. I was expecting to see the usual favourite destination for UK travellers of France, Spain etc...

We're all very familiar with track maps like that here on earth, but that's because we can always tell where we are thanks to the orbiting satellites... But they're orbiting Earth, not Mars, so not much use there.
So how do they track the location of the Rover? I can only assume by dead reckoning, not exactly a million miles from a Logo turtle with left 45 forward 100... And we all know how quickly that become inaccurate!

Bradley Manning: 'I'm sorry my actions hurt the United States'
Re: Portion of time in solitary confinement ..
"That by Manning's own admission he said and acted out in a manner which caused them to extend his time on a suicide watch?"
I think you'll find that people will sign and confess to all sorts of things if you prevent them from getting some proper sleep for several months on end. It's a well known brainwashing and torture technique.
There are many other ways of preventing a prisoner from committing suicide which don't involve waking him ever 30 minutes. In fact if he had found a way to commit suicide, what use is checking every 30 minutes anyway? if he had found a means to end it all, it would be well and truly over in a few minutes.
Re: Portion of time in solitary confinement ..
The US continues it "fight on terror" (tm) by continuing to abuse the rights of a prisoner and disregarding the Geneva convention whenever it feels like it.
Curious the US signed both Protocol I relating to the Protection of Victims of International Armed Conflicts and Protocol II relating to the Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts in 1977, but have failed to ratify either in the 30+ year since...
And there are some absolute gems in there which the US has failed to agree to be bound by...
Articles 51 and 54 outlaw indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations, and destruction of food, water, and other materials needed for survival. Indiscriminate attacks include directly attacking civilian (non-military) targets, but also using technology such as biological weapons, nuclear weapons and land mines, whose scope of destruction cannot be limited. A total war that does not distinguish between civilian and military targets is considered a war crime.
Articles 56 and 53 outlaw attacks on dams, dikes, nuclear generating stations, and places of worship. The first three are "works and installations containing dangerous forces" and may be attacked but only in ways that do not threaten to release the dangerous forces (i.e., it is permissible to attempt to capture them but not to try to destroy them).
Articles 76 and 77, 15 and 79 provide special protections for women, children, and civilian medical personnel, and provide measures of protection for journalists.
Articles 43 and 44 clarify the military status of members of guerrilla forces. Combatant and prisoner of war status is granted to members of dissident forces when under the command of a central authority. Such combatants cannot conceal their allegiance; they must be recognizable as combatants while preparing for or during an attack.
Article 35 bans weapons that "cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering," as well as means of warfare that "cause widespread, long-term, and severe damage to the natural environment."
Article 85 states that it is a war crime to use one of the protective emblems recognized by the Geneva Conventions to deceive the opposing forces (perfidy).
What a nice country.
They're not alone though... Iran hasn't ratified it either.

So I wrote a program which took my code and converted it to code with more spaces.
Tutor was impressed, and asked why I hadn't written it like that before... So I loaded up the new space filled program and typed "RUN"...

PRISM scandal: Brit spooks operated within the law, say politicos
Re: They didn't operate within the law
Re the PRISM filter where they say "it's okay, we're not watching Americans", it immediately makes me think, so you leave that to GCHQ to do, and then they share the data.
I'm amazed HMGov didn't try the same con whilst acquiring the data they didn't collect from the Americans.
They're all a bunch of two faced liars, the lot of them.
Semtex, AK47, arms shipment, assassination.... Chew on that.
Odd isn't it...
GCHQ operated within the law, so everything is ok.
Google obeyed the tax laws, but gets dragged in for questioning because they were "morally" naughty.
So which one is it HMGov? Letter of the law, or spirit of the law?
Pure boffinry: We peek inside Nokia's miracle cameraphone
"Similarly, if space is not a serious constraint, then every camera would use optical zoom."
I would hope not!
Even the most expensive optical zoom cannot compete with the image quality and "speed" of a prime lens.
All that extra glass required for the zoom absorbs precious light and introduces distortion as the different light wavelengths (colours) are bent by slightly varying degrees. In fact quite a few elements in top end zoom lenses are there purely to try to correct this chromatic aberration.

Android sig vuln exploit SEEN IN THE WILD
Re: @Reda
Manufacturer's customisations are a pain in the butt.
Network customisations are even worse!
I gave up with network customised phones many years ago. I was using Nokias at the time. The UK networks never updated their custom firmware. Eventually I unlocked, reflashed the model number to generic Euro and got back on Nokia's direct update train which turned the Orange supplied N95 dog into a very useful smartphone. I still use it as my backup (3 days+ battery life is good for things like that!).
After Nokia completely lost the plot I jumped to Android. They're all unlocked. The instant HTC failed to pass on an update for my old Desire Z it was unlocked, rooted and jumped to Cyanogenmod which had the security update rolled into its build within a week.
These days it's Nexus devices all the way.
It's swings an roundabouts. If you want a phone which you have no control over, and you can endure the shortcomings, then you can buy an iPhone and you'll be pretty much safe (just don't plug in that USB cable eh?).
If you want more choices than you can shake a stick at, then go Android, but you'll probably want to install an good AV app.
Want to have the latest updates first, get a Nexus, or vanilla version S4 etc.
Oh, almost forgot, want a novelty phone with squares all over the screen, go windows.
Help! I'm trapped inside the Chamber of Hollers
Accoustic tricks...
If you want to cut down on echos you need surfaces that don't reflect (d'uh) or if you can't avoid some reflecting surfaces, stop them reflecting continually by making them a bit "pissed", that's UK pissed, not US pissed (you can try US pissed, but in my experience, casting aspersions on the marital status of the divider's parents is usually unsuccessful).
Anyway, sound bounces about like a ball (minus gravity), so making the place a bit wonky will bounce the sound off into one corner where it can die).
It's also a good way to drive arty-farty creative designer type from the building, they'll hate all the non 90 degree angles.
Add a few soft furnishings (mediaeval banqueting hall wall hangings style) and you should be good to go.
Alternatively put half a dozen cloth bags over the noisy Scot.

Daft design...
Apart from looking like the bass-bin from the boot of some hoody's Vauxhall Corsa, I suspect they've been so busy trying to make it look "Ahhhh", that they've repeated the cube's design flaw.
Namely that if you put anything on the top (like any of the expansions, tethered via the expensive thunderbolt cables), it'll over heat!
The old Mac Pro was a very nicely put together piece of kit, practical to work on inside, with great expansion potential (although the lack of Sata3 and OSX's terrible support for non-Apple branded video cards was/is damn annoying).

*phone whizzes past ear*
I do believe it is the beginning of the end. The designers have taken over, with little input from engineers or end users. The new Mac Pro is a case in point. The moment you start using it and wanting to expand things, you end up with a pile of external devices and expensive thunderbolt cables all over the place. Basically a mess.

You might be lucky and catch it in one corner of the pub once. Only once. It will never be seen again, and nobody will ever believe you).

Review: Crucial M500 960GB SSD
Re: I'll give it a pass
The only failures I've experienced on spinning platter drives in the past ten years have been of the total death variety. Usually the spin controller.
Result, zero data, completely screwed. Luckily, in all but one of these cases the drive was part of a RAID.
The one that wasn't was in a laptop which was being used at the time... Just went BSOD, and that was that.
So in that respect an SSD with it's degrading of cells and not centrally crucial, and mechanically based, function like the motor controller, is a far nicer way to find your drive is on the way out.
