How To: Make a Coffee Table from Reclaimed Wood
Title: Coffee Table from Reclaimed Wood
Name: Kisha Lashley
Time: 2 weekends
Cost: @ $70
This is for the furniture designers out there. Here's a total DIY that combines a really nice original design with recycling. Click above for the pics and head below for all the instructions. Give Kisha a THUMBS UP if you find this project helpful....
Materials: ½" Plywood from old shelves - cut to length 4 Stainless Steel Cabinet Pulls Glass Table Top 2 boxes of epoxy 8 Angle anchors Screws Wood glue 4x4 reclaimed wood Wood Stain 4 non-slip silicone discs Tools: Drill Table Saw Tape Measure (we used a miter saw since it was most convenient)
1. Cut 4 longer pieces of equal lengths to be used as the sides of the table. Cut 4 shorter pieces to about 5" to be used as the base of the table. Glue end of base to side. Reinforce with angle anchors and let dry. Repeat for three other sides and bases. Stain all pieces. Let dry.
2. Frame plywood sheet by gluing strips cut from reclaimed wood. Leave a ¼" lip on one side of plywood sheet. Let dry.
3. Screw plywood sheet onto all four bases using angle anchors. Use saw to cut 1/8" tiles from length of reclaimed wood – enough to cover plywood sheet. Glue tiles evenly spaced to plywood sheet. Let dry. Mix epoxy and pour over wood tiles. Let dry. Attach door pulls to top of sides.
4. Place non-slip silicone discs on door pulls.
5. Place glass on table The results, an attractive, modern coffee table made primarily from recycled materials!
In renovating our city rowhouse, we had to replace our uneven floors. As a result, we removed several 4x4 beams that were over a century old. It seemed like such a shame to get rid of them, so we decided instead to recycle them into a coffee table. By sheer luck, we found an old abandoned coffee table with a glass top on the sidewalk. Although we were not interested in the coffee table, the glass was exactly what we needed. We used the dimensions of the glass to guide our design.

- Teeny-Tiny
- What I Love About My Small Home:
- I am consistently enchanted about the amount of natural sunlight I get in my space. And even though it is a relatively tiny space, it is perfectly sized for me. I love the older architecture of the building, especially the wainscoting detail and also the archways in the entrance and between my living room to work space area.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- I feel like the biggest challenge for me was finding a balance between feeling homey without overcrowding, and choosing the right furniture pieces that wouldn't block my window and light, but give me much needed storage.
How I went about solving this was pretty simple. I decided that I was going to throw out the idea of choosing elements because they fit a certain style or look and just focused on items that brought me joy to look at. This was key because by living in such a small space, nothing is out of sight.
And finally, my quest for furniture pieces with storage and great aesthetic. I feel like my triumph here is that I am moving slowly in acquiring the right pieces for my space that will add value and serve a purpose.
- If I am the Grand Prize winner of Small Cool, the item(s) or project(s) from my home design wishlist that I'd like to spend my winnings on are::
- If I win, I would look to enhance 5 areas of my home. My living room storage system, bathroom, kitchen, entryway, and greenery.
In my living room, I have been looking for something that might hide my TV, but give me a floor to ceiling storage solution that I can use both for entertainment and additional drawer space for folded clothes.
For my bathroom, I would love to see a more sophisticated approach to the necessary items needed in this space, maybe working in a linen storage and bathroom items solution without crowding.
My kitchen needs additional counter space and some hung personality. I would like to add a narrow island and some shelving so I can display my cooking books with pride and have a place to chop up my latest culinary creation.
In my entryway I would love to see something for people to hang their hats and place their shoes when they stop by.
And finally, my whole space could use a lot more greenery. I would like to grow a succulent garden and maybe incorporate a indoor house tree.

I thought raising the minimum wage price people out of work that securely teens and minorities am I wrong ... now we are not and and that's exactly right to be looking for the economic research on the service is very clear that it does to people I work ... aam but also services intuition tsunami a few of the businesses that hire ... people of the minimum wage like a restaurant or grocery store ... on they have single digit profit margins two or three percent soon ... you raise their labor costs by twenty four percent is the present wants to do ... and they can just absorbents in that either means they gotta find a way to raise prices in the county that ... they needed death by the same product with weak they're the same demons and product with fewer people with less service so ... that's how we you know have things now or will it say we bag your own groceries or in a long time ago we pump around doubts and ... the conveniences that use the for someone else's job description so why would Democrats want to do this what's in it for them ... what what's it for then is that it's a it's a politically it's a very popular thing to do I mean if you do pulling on the minimum wage ... you know I think that the most recent poll I saw was maybe seventy five percent of public supported so I think ... that that something like this out there and something that Republicans are always there responding to and so ... I makes them look on and and and it's a thing they can use to pressure people ... on for the midterm election twenty fourteen ... this isn't just a Democratic issue we've got a chart here federal minimum wage increases over time I wanna put up on the screen ... starts in nineteen ninety seven and it shows that steady progression upwards ... of Romney seem to support raising the minimum wage his campaign Chris Christie New Jersey another Republican ... George Bush ... II is the simple Ai is something that we we we just can't get away from because politicians ... like to do it because it's popular ... well I think there's there's a limited deal making always Canada's night you know Republicans who made the sign off on a smaller minimum wage increase ... their sons are temporary tax break in vaults ... I'm but I I don't missiles and they can get policy noted that everyone talks about the minimum wage employment that the biggest thing about the minimum wage ... from the progressive perspective is that it's done nothing to reduce poverty rates mean the evidence on raising the minimum wage in reducing poverty ... it is now in so ... the idea that I'm you would do this policy the struggling not to keep up the people you want to ... conceiving and the actively harmful it's it's kind of a head scratcher why ... Republicans would be willing to be on something new I'm glad you raise tax credits and earned income tax credit you mention in your Wall Street Journal op ed this week ... on most every president in the last three decades has raised it has increased the number of Americans who don't pay taxes ... who actually get money back from the government ... ay ay ay ay is there any prospect of re forming this given that Congress is thinking about ... tax reform ... well I mean I'd I think the the ... the conversation about during its Xstrata right now I think acetate place in the context of the minimum wage job ... the president wants to raise the minimum wage to keep the response of any use to be well ... but when he says that someone earning the minimum wage is only making fifteen thousand dollars year is not being a price of being truthful is if you're a single pair with a couple of children ... you get an additional fifty two hundred dollars because of the year in income tax credit ... which was expanded you know as recently as two thousandnine ... and so I think before we knew that with less anime and employers need to look at what we've done already to help these families now which is a considerable number talk about a ... thirty or forty percent wage subsidy ...

C's Pops of Pink and Green
Name: Little C (2)
Location: Jacksonville, FL
Color Inspiration: I started with Joel Dewberry's Aviary line, but wanted to bring in pops of fuchsia, since baby pink is not my favorite color. I love the unusual combination of brown and grey with the chartreuse and fuchsia.
Tip for Using Color: Keep it bright, and use pops of color to break up the white. This makes the space feel calm yet still interesting to babies and toddlers.
Colors Used: Freshaire choice natural wilderness on the grey furniture and fuchsia craft paint on the tree.
Thanks for your colorful entry Kayla and good luck!
What's at stake? Bragging rights AND $1000 worth of prizes from P'kolino!

Post subject: Croissant recipe help please!
Hey folks, tried making my own croissants recently and while things went ok I think I can do better next time if only I can find out how to improve things!
So basically the recipe is
with instructional video.
I followed his instructions pretty much to the gram (that is why I am on this site hehe).
First thing I noticed after using his ingredients was how sticky the dough felt! This is the part that really puts me off cooking doughs in general as descriptions always seem to fall short of just exactly how sticky your dough should be!
To be fair, he does say the dough is quite sticky, and needs abundant flour, but mine was like doughy glue!
Anyway, I followed the next step, wrapped tightly in clingfilm, and stuck it in the fridge to 'ferment' for at least 8 hours (is this the same as letting pizza dough rise?). It was actually about 14 hours before I came back to the dough, and sure enough, things had expanded somewhat!
Now, as I expected, things were once again seriously sticky! So much so, that there was a fair wastage of dough that I was unable to release from the clingfilm!
I did manage to eventually roll out and add the butter though. It did stick to the workbench quite a bit and never looked quite as smooth as his dough appeared..
Now the dough needed a second proofing, over night.
When I removed the following day, I expected the dough to have once again expanded (like on his video), but this hadn't really happened very much. I noticed that it did look similar to his, in so much that I could see the folded layers. However, there was still a central globule of sticky dough right in the middle for some reason
I proceeded to cut the croissants and let them rest once more (3rd time) which increased there size a little, and once cooked the overall impression was that they were quite nice which is what I mostly wanted
Being a perfectionist though I would love it if someone could tell me specifically why I got this gooey centre, but also just how sticky the dough should be in the early stages?
I would also like to know if it would be better to use strong or the normal flour as suggested in the video, and also whehter I was right using unsalted butter (which seems sensible to me but o/h says it could have done with more salt to bring out taste ?
Appreciate any help folks!

olly -
couple things come to mind.
first, "flour is not flour" - different brands / milling / wheat (mixes) can and do react differently - so first time through with "your brands" could be a little off. that's the nice part off working with grams - want to increase by 5%, just add 5% - it's more difficult to add 5% by "cups"
the butter - typical supermarket butter contains more water than many European brands (recipe origin is France...) - by 10% or more. look for plugra - it has higher fat content and lower water content.
and finally baking temperature - in the video (good one!) he mentions bake at 400'F but the directions say 375'F. I'd be temped to go with the 400'F and checking the oven temp with a separate thermometer would be in order to 'prove' the thermostat is accurate.
the dough uses yeast - so it will rise - same as bread dough or pizza dough.
the too wet center indicates to me
- the dough was too wet to start with (that's the flour / butter issue)
- bake temp may have been too low
"close but not exactly" is not uncommon when working with a new recipe, so give it another go, you'll have a better 'feel' for the dough the more you work with it.

Hi Dilbert thanks for your reply! I will certainly work on those suggestions you have given me, except that I am from the UK so I would think our butter is on par with the rest of Europe...
Regarding my oven, the stat really is a mile off so I check with IR probe whenever I want accuracy! I have a theory that the reason people struggle with much baking like cakes etc. is because stats are not always the most accurate things, especially as they age! Anyway....
The only thing I wanted to point out was that the gooey centre bit of the dough is after the second proofing, before baking. I am sure it could be one of the reasons you outlined so I can work on the flour first then maybe the oven temp - i could look for a premium butter too
I have quite a bit of dough to get through, so it will be a while before I make again.
Incidentally, I have frozen the dough, and tested some tonight to see if freezing had harmed it. I let it defrost slowly in the fridge last night. Once I rolled out and shaped they took ages to proof but they cooked better than the first lot so I am pretty chuffed
Looking forward to Sunday now

>> took ages to proof
freezing does not kill yeast - it's pretty sturdy stuff. I read somewhere "they" had recently brewed beer using yeast spores found in a pyramid / Egyptian tomb . . . several years back, but ....
by all means look for the high fat low water content butter. that is preferred by many classical trained pastry chefs. to the point it is 'second nature' and a specific mention may not have even crossed anyone's mind. it's one of those "if you're baking you use butter X" type things.
it's not an "automatic" warranty that supermarket "European butter" is the same... else wise it wouldn't have a special 'trade' name. in the US salted butter is the norm, in Europe un-salted is the norm. go figger....

Hey Dilbert, thanks one again. Thought I would run the butter I used with you...
It is Countrylife Unsalted and in 250g bar it contains 82.7g of fat, 55g of which is saturates. Not sure what that means tbh! It also says 82% butterfat.
No sign of any water. I may end up at the supermarket tomorrow if so will compare some more butters then.
I am going to proof the croissants over night after making them this time (they take too long to do on the day) I will let you know how they taste
P.S. Interesting regarding the yeast! Will look that one up I think.

You box is probably marked for 100g - 82.7 g of fat for 100 g of butter (not the whole 250 g). 82-83% butterfat would be considered Plugra / European butter in the United States.

working from memory here....
for USDA Grade A understood min butterfat is 80% with most decent brands closer to 81%
plugra is typically 84% - with less moisture....sometimes half the water of "Grade A"

I wholeheartedly agree that the Plugra butter is superb. In addition to its high fat content, it simply has the most buttery smell and taste of all the butters I have tasted.

To compete at NCAA Outdoor Championships May 23.
Missouri S&T junior Jusean Archibald was selected Tuesday as part of the field to compete at the 2013 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships, which will begin May 23 in Pueblo, Colo.
Thanks to an improvement in his provisional qualifying time over the past weekend at a meet at Emporia State, Archibald became of the 21 competitors selected to take part in the 110-meter hurdles at the national meet. He posted a school record time of 14.11 seconds in the event – breaking a 24-year-old school record in the process – to earn a spot in the field.
During the 2013 outdoor season, Archibald was the Great Lakes Valley Conference champion in the 110-meter hurdles, winning the race at the conference meet in a time of 14.40 seconds which was his fastest of the year prior to Saturday's performance. He earned first-team All-GLVC honors for the second time in his career and was a second-team All-GLVC selection following the 2012-13 indoor campaign.
This will be Archibald's first opportunity to compete at the NCAA Division II Championships, although he earned all-Midwest region honors during the 2011-12 indoor season from the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. He was unable to compete at the national meet, despite making a provisional qualifying mark, due to an injury suffered early in that season.
The preliminary round of the 110-hurdles will take place on Friday, May 24 at 7:55 p.m., Central time, with the finals slated for the following evening at 7:05 p.m.
The top performance of the 2013 season was posted by Saint Augustine's junior Moussa Dembele of 13.59 seconds. Six of the competitors among the 21 in the field have posted a time under 14 seconds in the event at some point during the year.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady grew from a sixth-round draft choice into one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Off the field, he's a celebrity with a supermodel wife and lucrative marketing deals.
All that has made the New England Patriots superstar the object of admiration and respect to some, jealousy and enmity to others.
On Tuesday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell hears Brady's appeal of a four-game suspension for using deflated footballs in the AFC Championship game.
Goodell's decision upholding, reducing or eliminating the punishment won't likely cause major changes in perceptions of a four-time Super Bowl champion — perceptions enhanced during a stellar...

Netflix, Inc., video rental and distribution company, founded in 1997 by American entrepreneurs Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in Los Gatos, California.
In 1999 Netflix began offering an online subscription service through the Internet. Subscribers chose movie and television titles from Netflix's Web site; the shows were then mailed to customers in the form of DVDs, along with prepaid return envelopes, from one of more than 100 distribution centres. Although customers typically rented for a flat monthly fee as many movies per month as they wished, the number of DVDs in their possession at any one time was limited according to their subscription plans. Netflix had tens of thousands of movie titles in its catalog.
In 2007 Netflix began offering subscribers the option to stream some of its movies and television shows directly to their homes through the Internet. For most subscription plans, the streaming service was unlimited. Netflix subsequently partnered with manufacturers of various consumer electronics products, including video game consoles and Blu-ray Disc players, in order to enable its videos to be streamed over an Internet connection to those devices. In 2010 Netflix introduced a streaming-only plan that offered unlimited streaming service but no DVDs. Netflix then expanded beyond the United States by offering the streaming-only plan in Canada in 2010, in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2011, and in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Scandinavia in 2012. Netflix announced in September 2011 that it would split its streaming and mail-based services, with the latter to be called Qwikster; a month later, however, citing an outcry from its subscribers, Netflix abandoned the planned split. Beginning in 2013 with the episodic drama series House of Cards, the company offered video content produced specifically for its streaming service.
Netflix launched the $1 million Netflix Prize contest in 2006 to see if anyone could improve by 10 percent its recommendation system, an algorithm for predicting an individual's movie preferences based on previous rental data. The open competition spurred many clever data-mining innovations from contestants. The 10 percent threshold was reached on June 26, 2009, by BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos, a team made up of seven mathematicians, computer scientists, and engineers from the United States, Canada, Austria, and Israel. At the end of a 30-day verification period, during which other teams attempted to beat BellKor's entry, the team submitted its final, winning entry. It was awarded the prize on September 21, 2009.

Small Cool Kitchens 2007: A Look Back at the Best
Our spring contest, Small Cool Kitchens 2010, is now in full swing! (Have you entered yet?) We wanted to take a quick look back to 2007 and the last time we did this contest. There were some lovely small kitchens in it, and you may not have seen them yet. Here's a look back at some of the top reader favorites.
The kitchens here (also labeled in the gallery of photos above) are all entries from that contest, and we really love some of these. There are some great remodel before/after shots scattered throughout as well. Take a peek!
• Phoebe's Crisp Organic - Phoebe in Cambridge, MA, was the top winner with her petite and elegantly renovated kitchen.
• Heather's Sleek Modern - A finalist entry from Staten Island.
• Jessica's Blue and Silver Flair - Second-place winner from New York. We think the baby may have been a vote-winner!
• Jennifer's Light and Airy - The third-place winner, also from New York.
• Kat's Open Entertainer - Another finalist (and a great set of before/after remodel photos) from a kitchen in Manhattan.

A couple nights ago I was looking over the UEFI spec, and I realized it shouldn't be too hard to write UEFI applications in Rust. It turns out, you can, and here I will tell you how.
Language gets me giddy, but thank god lots of other people get giddy over stuff like this.
To view parent comment, click here.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
In this case, there is a logic explanation other than just random chance: the added UEFI complexity.
See, motherboards manufactures needs to maintain large product portfolios, with fast release cycles. Overburdened engineering teams is pretty much the norm in this industry.
The BIOS is a far more simple kind of software, adapting it to new products is far more trivial than with UEFI. And even with BIOS, there is bugs, lots of it.
Most manufacturers took near a decade just to deliver a descent ACPI implementation, let's not even speak about slight more complex stuff, like virtualization support, hot-swappable storage, USB mass-storage boot, RAID, decent PXE support... and goes on.
Now, the manufacturers needs to mobilize their already spread thin engineering teams to adapt UEFI code, what is, in effect, almost a operating system by itself. The final result is obvious: far more bugs, in particular for cheaper low-end motherboards, that gets lower development budgets.
UEFI is one of these things that looks gorgeous on paper, but in practice it is a invitation to a disaster.
I'm pretty sure that most implementations out there is so screwed up that every single one would be very easy to exploit if you can override the operating system safeness. I can even point a easy entry point: these applications to fully manage the motherboard from the OS.

Faith and Order is part of a global movement that began in 1910 under the guidance of Charles Brent, an American Episcopal bishop, and has continued to meet regularly on the global level with the participation of the Holy See. In the United States, the Faith and Order Commission was inaugurated at a 1957 conference and was placed under the auspices of the NCC-USA. Its ecumenical work encompasses and reflects the nature and diversity of American Christianity.
The USCCB is a member of The Faith and Order Commission, a multilateral ecumenical dialogue sponsored by the National Council of Churches in the USA. The commission strives to build unity among Christians by facilitating theological dialogue among scholars of various denominations. It is charged with a mission to affirm and illuminate the unity of the Church by healing division while honoring diversity.Faith and Order meets semi-annually in four year cycles and the Bishops' Committee sends five theologians to participate in the study groups. The current topic of discussion is "unity in mission," directed by Dr. Anton C. Vrame, Ph.D. of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Professor Joseph Mueller S.J., of Marquette University, represents the Bishops' Committee in this dialogue.

Wow! Where is the summer going?
It seems like just yesterday that I was "wandering" around Southern Ontario, and now we've got Labour Day in our sights!
I'll be on vacation for the next couple of weeks, then expect to see a flurry of updates to my blog! I've been missing out on a bunch of stuff, I know, so be prepared for a lot of information - mostly pointers to new or revised resources with less description than you might normally expect in my blog.
So, to all of you, happy summer and I'll see you in September!

Acentia has bought a 40-year-old Atlanta company that holds a contract vehicle that Acentia saw as critical to its health care strategy.
Business Computer Applications Inc. holds the CIMS Information Management Services contract. It also counts as its customers agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the Health Resources & Services Agency.
The company's services are focused on helping customers gain efficiencies and modernizing their infrastructures, according to an Acentia statement.
The CIMS contract "allows us to compete for important full and open work with CDC," Acentia CEO Todd Stottlemyer said.
The acquisition also gives Acentia the opportunity to combine its technical skills with BCA's relationships and domain expertise, he said.
"Acentia's strategic goals are simple—providing innovative solutions to help the CDC and other health agencies meet their mission-critical public health and other priorities," Stottlemyer said.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but BCA adds about 30 employees to Acentia's 1,100.
The acquisition of BCA follows Acentia's purchase of InSysCo in November and 2020 Company in April 2012.

"Samsung has now filed an unredacted version of its motion for judgment as a matter of law, a new trial, and/or remittitur. That's the one that was originally filed with a redacted section we figured out was about the foreman, Velvin Hogan. The judge ordered it filed unsealed, and so now we get to read all about it. It's pretty shocking to see the full story. I understand now why Samsung tried to seal it. They call Mr. Hogan untruthful in voir dire (and I gather in media interviews too), accuse him of 'implied bias' and of tainting the process by introducing extraneous 'evidence' of his own during jury deliberations, all of which calls, Samsung writes, for an evidentiary hearing and a new trial with an unbiased jury as the cure." It's a treasure trove of courtroom drama, this. Like this one: Hogan got sued by his former employer Seagate in 1993, causing him to go bankrupt. The lawyer in said case is now married to one of the partners of the law firm representing Samsung in this case. Samsung seems to implicitly - and sometimes explicitly - argue that Hogan had a score to settle in this case, because - get this - Samsung has been Seagate's largest shareholder since last year. Hogan failed to disclose the Seagate lawsuit during voire dire, which is a pretty serious matter. No matter whose side you're on, this is John Grisham-worthy.

Why are they so sore after this verdict?
Wouldn't you be if somebody told you you were out of a billion bucks? :-)
Did we see Apple crying fowl after being forced to pay more than a half Billion dollars to Nokia plus ongoing royalties on each iPhone?
Was this on design-related patents, or technology-related ones? The distinction is important because a lot of non-trivial research goes into modern electrical engineering tech (see [1], [2] and [3] for examples of EE labs), whereas it is arguable whether the same goes into design.

|Matchkings and Hunting
by Rich Macholz
Every year we are reminded of the accuracy advantage MatchKings provide by hunters wishing to use them in the field. We don't suggest this application due to thin jackets, hard cores, and small meplat openings.
These design characteristics can cause premature expansion at close range, lack of expansion at extreme range, and a very narrow corridor of terminal performance. It is very difficult to take advantage of the MatchKings accuracy edge in the field under normal hunting conditions. Usually things are not just exactly perfect when that trophy presents itself. That means that odds are good that shot placement, while good, may not be perfect.
To compensate for this very slight error, a reliable expanding type hunting bullet that transfers all the energy available is a necessity. Therefore, if your .300 Win Mag Ruremchester shoots .4" with 168 grain MatchKings and .8" with 165 grain GameKings, you still have better than minute of a whitetail accuracy with a bullet that was designed for maximum terminal performance.
I've never seen a game animal with a bullseye on it, so X count or score isn't so important as the result of one good shot that gives maximum terminal results.
|Chevy Truck Sportsman's Team Challenge
The Sierra/Starline team captured their third consecutive National Championship at the 1997 Chevy Truck Sportsman's Team Challenge during April at Markham Park in Florida. David Tubb, Doug Koenig, and J. Michael Plaxco defeated Team Dillon and Team Texas to win the match. The Sierra/Starline junior team also competed in Florida. This team was made up of three boys ages 13,14, and 15, Eric Bowling, Hunter Pilant, and Cory Galloway, all from Missouri. This team represented Sierra well as they won the Junior Class, captured 5th in the Novice Class (for all shooters who have never competed in a Chevy Truck Challenge before), and 32nd overall in the Sportsman's Class.

I am so excited for this guy's appearance. Anybody else feeling the same way?
Already seen him. He may go on to do great things, but his songs are what I would expect a 18 year old folk singer with a major label recording contract to sound like.
I am really excited for him!!
I'm looking forward to his set. A few songs I'd love to hear live
why dont you post some songs? i dont know anything about him
Coachella 2010, 2011, 2012-2, 2013-2
Anyone catch his show in SF a couple of weeks ago?
Cooler than a polar bears toenails.
I had never heard of him till Coachella twittered the Lightening Bolt video.
Yeah this guy sucks ass. Or at least doesn't stand out, more pandering for the kiddie crowd.
Jake Bugg is awesome and I am really looking forward to this set.
Just saw him at The Troubadour in January, his set was musically very solid, the songs from the album sound great live. His stage presence, however leaves much to be desired. I'll probably check him out again during at least one of the weekends, I really do like the album.
I think Lightning Bolt was the first video posted on the main page. Totally new to me but I liked him.
Really pumped for this guys set!!!
I do understand how a lot of ppl on here aren't into him though.

Yeah, Vader not kicking the crap out of the Emperor shortly after Episode V makes no sense. Unless Vader is really, really thick.
I love HISHE, especially the superhero ones. The absurdity of the plots in these movies and the many references to other movies make me a very happy nerd.

BLBG: Orders for U.S. Durable Goods Increase More Than Forecast
Orders for U.S. durable goods increased more than forecast in February, a sign companies are confident about the outlook for the economy.
Bookings for goods meant to last at least three years rose
1.7 percent after a 2.3 percent advance the prior month that was larger than previously estimated, Commerce Department data showed Friday. The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 1.4 percent increase.
A sixth straight gain in orders for durable goods minus transportation equipment underscores rising demand that will help to broaden economic growth. Business has the potential of increasing even more should Washington lawmakers succeed in reducing corporate taxes and regulations.
Economistsâ estimates for durable orders ranged from a drop of 0.7 percent to a gain of 3.5 percent. The prior monthâs advance was revised from a previously reported 2 percent.
Excluding transportation equipment demand, which is often volatile, orders increased 0.4 percent after a 0.2 percent gain.
The weaker part of the report was in the figure measuring future business investment in items like computers, engines and communications gear. Bookings of non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft unexpectedly fell 0.1 percent, compared with a median projection for a 0.5 percent advance. January was revised to a 0.1 percent increase.
At the same time, those orders were up at a 9.1 percent annualized rate in the three months ended in February.
Shipments of capital goods excluding aircraft and military hardware, used in calculating gross domestic product, rose 1 percent in February.
The report also showed bookings for civilian aircraft climbed 47.6 percent following an 83.3 percent surge at the start of the year.
Boeing Orders
Boeing Co., the Chicago-based aerospace company, said it received 43 orders for aircraft in February, up from 26 in the prior month, and deliveries also increased.
The Commerce Departmentâs report showed a 0.8 percent drop in bookings for motor vehicles and parts, as auto dealers deal with high inventory. Industry data showed car sales in February were little changed from the previous month. Cars and light trucks sold at a 17.5 million annualized rate, according to Wardâs Automotive Group.
Orders for military capital equipment decreased 8.3 percent, and demand for non-defense durable goods rose 2.1 percent for a second month.

STOCKTON - Brooklyn's Pete Pin, a member of what he calls the "Cambodian-American 1 1/2 generation," is on a self-identity quest that has brought him home to Stockton.
STOCKTON - Brooklyn's Pete Pin, a member of what he calls the "Cambodian-American 1 1/2 generation," is on a self-identity quest that has brought him home to Stockton.
The acclaimed documentary photographer was born in the Khao-I-Dang refugee camp in Thailand in 1982. Two years later, Pin moved with his parents to the United States, the only country where he has memories.
"I am an outsider in my own community," he says, "partially based on the experiences I had in Stockton."
Pin's parents started saving money soon after they arrived. By the time he was 5, they had purchased a duplex on Bancroft Way north of Hammer Lane. They lived in one unit and rented out the other.
"There were neighborhood drug issues and we lived in poverty," Pin says, "but there were two sides to Bancroft. The other side was rich, white America. There were two-story houses with lawns and pools."
Otto Drive was the dividing line.
One of "rich" families took him in after finding Pin urinating in the gutter of their home.
"They introduced me to Christmas, birthday celebrations, table manners, campfires and scouting," he says. "I became class-conscious. I had a different upbringing from other Cambodian kids. I had my feet in both worlds.
"I was ashamed of how poor we were. Most of my friends lived elsewhere. Also, I knew the color of my skin was different."
Trauma hit in the third grade when Pin's parents separated. His mother moved to Long Beach, but the boy stayed in Stockton to care for his father, who was suffering from a skin disease.
Academically, Pin excelled - first at Creekside Elementary and later at Delta Sierra Middle School.
"Stockton is defined for me by three things: class differences, my father's illness and poverty."
By the time Pin graduated from eighth grade, his father, suffering from depression, had decided to move back to Cambodia.
The teenager headed for Long Beach to live with his mom.
"After making straight A's as a freshman, I lost my motivation," Pin admits. "I never showed up for class."
He dropped out in his junior year.
The well-versed, well-spoken and well-read young man took the time to write a one-page letter to his high school counselor that he titled "Reasons why public school wasn't for me."
For the next six years, Pin worked at HomeTown Buffet in Lakewood, a community of 80,000 just north of Long Beach. "My ambition was to be a manager."
Until one day when two of his regulars, Delores and Masten Duffy, offered to pay for him to attend college. Pin was considering the U.S. Army at the time and "needed guidance."
The elderly couple, since deceased, saw something special in the polite young man who served them regularly. The Duffys set up a trust fund, and Pin enrolled at Long Beach City College and soon found himself at the University of California, Berkeley, where he again excelled in the classroom.
"I wanted to be a professor."
Unbelievably, Pin still didn't have a high school diploma. He passed the requisite GED classes at an East Bay adult school.
A few months after embarking on a political science doctorate, Pin took a cross-country road trip with a friend. He bought a camera. And his life changed.
For the past three years, Pin, now 30, has been trying to understand and chronicle the Cambodian diaspora through documentary and portrait photography. His work has been featured in the New York Times and Time magazine.
Pin is the only U.S. visual artist taking part in the Season of Cambodian Living Arts Festival, held at various locations across New York City this April and May.
But his heart beats for a larger life project - "using photography as a means to another purpose, to initiate dialogue, a broader discussion, within my community."
Pin calls his "1 1/2 generation" status unique. "I was born outside but raised here," he says. "I have no memory of there. I love meeting people like myself - that generation of Cambodians who are asking big questions about their heritage and their family experiences."
Three years ago, before moving to New York but after deciding to leave Cal, Pin came back to Stockton for the first time in years.
He sat down with his 80-year-old maternal grandmother, Duong Meas, and talked to her about the past, about fleeing Cambodia, about the refugee camps, about the killing fields.
And he listened. And took pictures.
From that family experience, Pin discovered what he wants to do - at least for the foreseeable future. He has taken his camera lens and his eye to Lowell, Mass.; Philadelphia; the Bronx, N.Y.; and now Stockton to pursue a record of displaced Cambodian families and their fractured Southeast Asian culture.
His 10-day visit home has been sponsored by the Stockton Cambodian Oral History Project. "I've always wanted to come back."
A signature part of Pin's work is to pair a current portrait with a photograph of some small piece of personal history - an aging photograph, an identity card, a family treasure.
Ultimately he hopes to encourage his generation to use the latest in technology to create familial histories of Cambodian-American experiences across the nation.
While that can have profound results, Pin says connecting generations holds the greatest reward. "The end goal is for my work to be a catalyst for dialogue within families. I'm interested in the process, not the outcome."

by xaraan » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:26 pmI've posted most of these pics either in my photography thread or on one of my photography sites, but I wanted to create a thread for her because well... she is an artist too. Alima/Angela is extremely talented (so much so that I am forever jealous of her). Aside from being an outstanding dancer, she also plays Cello, Piano, and Violin.
As for her dancing - I've seen a lot of bellydancers and she honestly has to be one of the best I've seen. She isn't just good at the dancing part, but the performing as well - working the crowd etc. (And she has also been a great test model for me when I'm shooting) But due to her I'm very much a snob for bellydance and have very high expectations when I watch other performers.
Anyways, I thought her art deserved it's own thread.
by xaraan » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:37 pmAnd to add to my jealousy of her talents, she is also a damn good photographer, here is some of her stuff (she has worked with me on weddings too)
by Royal Nonesuch » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:44 pmThose are some pretty great shots (by both of you). It's cool that Alima is also a talented musician.
by 3MJ » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:47 pm
by TerriG » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:49 pmIs Alima ok with the Outhouse collectively fapping over some of those images?
by Miracloman » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:52 pm
And don;t forget to mention she's quite gorgeous.
by xaraan » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:53 pm
Yea, I think on those pictures I was shooting with a long shutter and only firing the flash at the very end of the exposure... that gives you a bit of a mix of both a flash pic and a long exposure pic. I usually try different stuff when I'm shooting her live since I tend to be doing it for fun and more often than a normal shoot.
Kinda like this one I posted:
I spent the whole time shooting only long exposure and ended up only getting this one picture that I thought usable.
or this one:
I shot in almost total darkness without a really long exposure to see what I could do to bring it out after the fact in processing (converting to B&W helped bring some of it out without a lot of grain). I only got like two usable pics out of that whole performance.
by The Old Doctor » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:54 pm
I'll bet you she's used to that in real life by now, hence the swords!
by xaraan » Fri Feb 04, 2011 1:57 pm
She deals with people that are idiots all the time trying to hit on her or oogling her. (I'm not always there to stand in the corner and look like I'm ready to kill someone) There are plenty of guys that go to see this stuff just b/c they like looking at girls more than they do dancing... you can tell those places b/c of who they hire: girls that just look good and can't dance. Fortunately she has found places that want actual performers in addition to someone just looking cute.
(And all these pictures are posted on her FB and in my various photo sites anyhow... actually a lot more than these are)
by xaraan » Fri Feb 04, 2011 2:00 pm
Yea, she is actually pretty used to having to deal with that crap. If she is just thanking people for coming and they hit on her she just leaves, but she is actually good with people that try stuff during dances... normally you are not permitted to touch the dancer if they invite you up to dance and usually it's all fine - guys being embarrassed to have to try moves they look stupid doing. But some middle eastern guys actually think it's more than that, one guy started putting her hands around her waste and she spun away and sat him down before I was even on my feet.
by The Old Doctor » Fri Feb 04, 2011 2:01 pm
That's a pity to hear. That's a great picture and I like the effect. It's so surreal, but then you see her so clearly, it has an awesome effect. I wonder what blue might look like and other colours. Maybe a study for you at some point? If you do, please share the results.
That is a damn good picture there. A series of those would be great to see, but also, other subjects. The contrasts are sweet. The brighter light is great to see too. Sort of film noir.
by xaraan » Fri Feb 04, 2011 2:01 pm
yea, I always liked that pic, that guy was a character when we were talking with him (I think he was a minister or something too)

Orlando Home RentWhen planning a trip to Florida, compare accommodation prices and check which one is the closest to the attractions you want to visit. One of the safest and most convenient types of accommodation is a vacation rental home in Orlando FL. A+ Vacation Homes offer well-located and secured house rentals with flexible terms. Villas with exclusive access to swimming pools and other recreation areas are also available.
If you're aiming for a different type of holiday experience this year, better considering booking a vacation rental home in Orlando FL. Such arrangements offer flexibility and a great deal of privacy for you and your family. For most of the guests in this area, getting a rental home is much more practical as it allows everyone in the group to stay under one roof. You can get a rental property for the price of a good hotel room. The only difference is that a vacation home will have three to five rooms while a hotel room can only accommodate four people in such a cramped space.
Finding the perfect rental
To get started in your search for a good vacation rental home in Orlando FL, you will want to visit rental sites and vacation forums on the Internet. They can offer you sufficient information as well as valuable tips on how to make the most of your vacation home. If you're pretty new at this, you will also want to make a couple of preparations for your first rental home.
Because you're probably going to get a wide array of choices online, you will need to narrow down your list to the properties that will cater to your specific needs. You need to specify exactly what you want and base your choices from your list. For instance, if you're bringing a baby along, you will want to have a home that has baby gates for the stairs. It's also wise to inquire about the amenities such as outdoor barbecue grills, swimming pools, heating system and the like.
When interviewing with a local agent, you will also need to find out what you have to bring along with you. A typical vacation rental home in Orlando, FL will come equipped with the basics such as beddings, kitchen utensils, flatware, etc. However, it still pays to know about such details so you can come prepared.
Trust only the experts
Getting all the information you need is important in making the right choice for your vacation rental home in Orlando FL. A+ Vacation Homes has an online site that provides valuable information on how to make the most of your rental property.

May 31, 2008
Dr. Rod Esdaile, an OSA member for over 30 years, died May 31, 2008 in North Carlton, Australia after a long struggle with cancer that had shadowed, but not taken over his life until his last months. He was 69.
Dr. Esdaile gained an international reputation for his expertise in titanium and fibre optics. He also played a leading role in die-casting in the automotive industry, which included a three-year posting as technical director with the Australian Trade Commission in Detroit in the US.
Born in Melbourne, Rod attended Wesley College. He started his career working as a laboratory technician with the CSIRO division of tribophysics (later materials science), based at Melbourne University, where he studied part time. He obtained his bachelor's degree in physical chemistry in 1965, and the following year he married Susan Koves. They had two daughters.
Rod's groundbreaking research on fibre optics with the late Dr Graeme Ogilvy placed them at the forefront of this field internationally. In 1975, he accepted a British government contract in conjunction with the University of Glasgow, Scotland, to develop switching devices for optical fibres using titanium. His research also enabled him to complete his PhD in electrical engineering. He returned with his family to Melbourne in 1979 and he resumed working with CSIRO.
Rod continued as a consultant to many projects related to his expertise in titanium and fibre optics, including the development of the bionic ear.
His work took a new direction with research related to magnesium and its applications to die-casting in the automotive industry. In the early 1990s, he played a leading role in the establishment of the CAST Co-operative Research Centre (CRC), before the trade commission posting in Detroit to promote and enhance automotive research and industry collaborations with the US. At the end of this assignment, Rod "retired" and set up his own consulting company in the US.
He worked tirelessly to assist Australian colleagues doing business in the US, especially those involved with magnesium research and development, the die-casting industry and former CSIRO colleagues. He was an office bearer of various industry and professional associations, including the Royal Society of Victoria. He helped organize many conferences, and presented and published numerous papers.
Always a practical scientist, Rod moved seamlessly from theory and research to shop floor applications. He and Susan, who worked in the US as an occupational therapist, returned to Melbourne at the end of 2003.
Rod was a keen and skillful house renovator, and for years he was an active member of the CSIRO Ski Club and helped to build several lodges from the 1960s to 1980s. He enjoyed inner-city living, reading extensively, attending concerts and opera and spending time at Somers where he had a large workshop and his traditional, Tasmanian-built wooden sailing dinghy.
Rod's elder daughter, Anna, predeceased him in 1993. He is survived by his wife Susan and daughter Lucy.
This tribute is adapted from an obituary that appeared on July 18, 2008 in theage.com.au.

Scarlett Johansson: Black Widow uses size to her advantage
- Bang Showbiz
- 20 March 2014
Scarlett Johansson says her 'Captain America: The Winter Solider' alter-ego, Black Widow, is quick on her feet and uses size to her advantage
Scarlett Johansson says Black Widow uses her size to her advantage.
The 29-year-old actress plays the popular Marvel comic book character - who is also known as Natasha Romanoff - in forthcoming 'Captain America: The Winter Solider', and insists her alter-ego's is quick on her feet, which helps her beat her opponent.
Talking at the film's press conference at London's Dorchester Hotel, she told BANG Showbiz: "Part of the Widow's fighting style is she uses her size, what makes her charming, is she uses her size against her opponent and to her advantage. She's fighting these big dudes and she's quick thinking, and quick on her feet. Mouse is hard to catch!"
Johansson claimed actors must be "sympathetic" to their character and make them "likeable" to ensure audiences are satisfied.
She added: "I think any character you play you have to be sympathetic towards because even if it's that's a villainous character, you always have to have a bit of likeability to you. I think this character has a certain unexpected humility to her, she has that soft underbelly, and I have that same soft underbelly!"

OnePlus has been steadily trickling out details of its upcoming One smartphone in recent months in order to build up hype for the device. The company is set to finally reveal the One on April 23, but it looks like we don't have to wait until then to get a peek at it.
Some images have leaked out that claim to show the OnePlus One, depicting a device with a curved top and bottom and a black face. The design of the One is somewhat reminiscent of the Oppo Find 7, which isn't a huge surprise since OnePlus CEO Pete Lau used to work for Oppo.
In addition to the OnePlus itself, the device's StyleSwap covers have been revealed. These covers will be available in Silk, Sandstone, Denim, Bamboo and Kevlar textures and will allow OnePlus One owners to make their device a bit more personal.
But wait, there's more! Some new screenshots of CyanogenMod 11S, the software that'll power the OnePlus One, have also emerged. CyanogenMod 11S is a special version of the CyanogenMod Android ROM and was created specifically for the OnePlus One.
The screenshots show the CyanogenMod 11S lock screen, which is similar to the image that leaked out last month, and show the time, date, weather and battery level. Other screenshots show the CyanogenMod 11S home screen and a "Themes" menu with several software customization options.
Now that we've finally gotten a peek at the OnePlus One and the software that it'll run, what do you think? Are any of you considering buying the device when it goes up for sale?

Time For VCs To Start Pitching Startups?
from the shoe-on-the-other-foot dept
Back during the boom years, newly minted MBAs seemed to believe that the only way to start a company was to take their cocktail napkin scribble to a VC and get startup cash. The VCs didn't mind getting in early. They claimed their connections and know-how were necessary, but a bit of ancedotal evidence and some research suggests entrepreneurs are realizing that's not the way it needs to be done. In all honesty, it's always been the case that most startups are not right for venture capital -- but even those who will need it eventually can do quite well for themselves by bootstrapping. The recent sales of Topix and Bloglines are two cases in Silicon Valley where seasoned founders (who know both the upsides and downsides to VC funding) bootstrapped companies, passed on the VC money and sold their companies instead. The deals appear to give the start-ups access to capital to grow their businesses, some upfront payout for their hard work and continued control over the business. Going the acquisition route as opposed to taking funding and shooting for an IPO may have limited the upside of the founders, but the entrepreneurs are still making out well. VCs may discover that they need to rethink the "value proposition" they offer to a new generation of hot startups that seem more skeptical of the typical VC route.
