Samsung Galaxy S21: What You Can Expect
The Samsung Galaxy S21 is coming sooner than you think, so we take a look at all the information we already know about it.
Tom Fogden October 21st 2020 12:49 pm
The Samsung Galaxy S21 is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2021. And, though we're still in the dumpster fire of a year that is 2020, we can cheer ourselves up just a bit with a glimpse of Samsung's upcoming phone.
The South Korean company is no stranger to having its products leaked. But, while a lot of leaks can be underwhelming, the S21 previews hint at a pretty interesting phone that could help Samsung stay ahead of the competition.
Let's take a look at everything we already know about the Samsung Galaxy S21.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Design
The most interesting aspect of the Samsung S21 is its new design, seen in leaks from this week.
It looks relatively orthodox from the front. The S21 is set to have a 6.24-inch flat display with rounded corners. Up top, you'll find a small, centrally mounted punch hole camera.
However, around the back, the S21's camera module now blends into the frame of the phone. The rest of the rear case seems to be made from a completely different material to the camera module.
It's an interesting and certainly unusual design choice which, at some angles, makes it seem like the S21 already has a case attached. The matte gray color looks good, if a bit on the safe side.
There is some speculation that the rear case might be hewn from plastic, rather than glass or metal, while the frame looks set to be made from aluminum. This plastic case would certainly help reduce the S21's cost, while also making it significantly less prone to shattering when dropped.
Perhaps the influence of the Google Pixel 4a is showing already.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Naming
Of course, we can't be completely certain whether the S21 will actually be called the S21 at all.
Last year, Samsung jumped from the S10 series to the S20 series. Perhaps this was designed to demonstrate a big leap forward or, perhaps, Samsung is simply moving to a new naming convention. The new phone could just as easily be named the S30, for example.
Until we get more information, we can't be entirely sure what Samsung's next S-line phone will be called.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Release Date
Samsung typically releases its S-line of phones around the Mobile World Congress tech show which normally takes place in Barcelona every March.
However, it seems likely that MWC will be cancelled yet again so Samsung will likely have a free hand to release the S21 when it wants. Some reports are suggesting that we could see the phone as early as January 2021.

Gasholders 10, 11 & 12
Gasholders Nos. 10, 11 and 12 were built for the storage of town gas for Pancras Gasworks, the largest gasworks in London.
The gasholders were originally constructed in 1860-67 and enlarged in 1879-80 with new interconnected guide frames and telescopic lifts.
Gas was manufactured here using coal from the Imperial Gas, Light and Coke Company until the late 20th Century when the gasworks was decommissioned.
The gasholders are known as the 'Siamese Triplet' because their frames are joined by a common spine. The frames are highly decorative with three tiers of hollow cylindrical.
The frames are highly decorative with three tiers of hollow cylindrical cast iron columns, cast iron capitals and three tiers of wrought iron riveted lattice girders.
… and now
These iconic Grade II structures have been painstakingly restored by a specialist engineering firm in Yorkshire. Now returned to King's Cross, their new home is on the northern bank of Regent's Canal. Here the intricate cast-iron columns create a stunning setting for the new Gasholder apartments,designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects.
At the top of the buildings the roof gardens provide magnificent views over the canal, parks, and the city beyond. Learn more about Gasholders here.

This bike is used 7 days a week as my main mode of transport with the occasional student learning on it too. Our Street Rod could be ridden off with the kickstand down, so be careful! Nothing else produced by a Japanese firm had so many styling details. Classy learner funster that's both learner-friendly and ultra cool. As for the shifting, you could get used to it and build character. Back to bikes after decades with this amazing machine, only done k's so far but just love it.

Triumph Bonneville Naked Motorcycle. This is achieved in part thanks to the barrel that blocks the entry of air from the turbulence and increases the negative pressure to expel air and reduce noise. In my opinion it is one of the best looking cruisers on the road. There are a variety of examples on the market from brands like Givi and SW-Motech. What do we look for in a helmet if our motorcycle is of this type? However, adding some frame sliders, a radiator guard, or engine case covers makes for cheap insurance compared to the alternative: One of the problems with naked bikes is that they leave the rider exposed to the elements over long distances on the highway.

Prediction of Human Movement During Disasters To Allow For More Effective Emergency Response
The COVID-19 pandemic, bigger and more frequent wildfires, devastating floods, and powerful storms have become unfortunate facts of life. With each disaster, people depend on the emergency response of governments, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector for aid when their lives are upended. However, a complicating factor in delivering that aid is that people tend to disperse with such disasters.
In research recently published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team led by Jianxi Gao, assistant professor of computer science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Qi "Ryan" Wang, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Northeastern University, formulated a method to predict human movement during large-scale extreme events with the goal of enabling more effective emergency responses. The model also revealed great disparity in movement among different economic groups.
"Despite many possible variables, we found that changes in human mobility behavior during various extreme events exhibit a consistent hyperbolic decline," said Gao. "We call it 'spatiotemporal decay.'"
Typically, people's movements follow predictable patterns. When an extreme event disrupts the pattern, scientists refer to it as a "mobility perturbation." For example, people may stop commuting to work, or they may change their route, or even evacuate to a shelter. Not only do these mobility perturbations cause challenges when delivering aid, but they also lead to financial, medical, and quality of life repercussions. The nature, extent, and duration of mobility perturbations vary widely.
Gao's team tracked the anonymous movements of 90 million people in the United States over the course of six large-scale disasters including wildfires, tropical storms, winter freezes, and pandemics in order to develop a unified model.
"Our model reveals the underlying uniformity across variables by incorporating heterogeneity across space and over time," said Gao. "We found strong regularities in how much mobility behavior changes following extreme events and in how fast mobility behavior returns to normal, allowing us to predict complex human behaviors during large-scale crises."
Gao's team found that people living close to the nucleus of the crisis – ground zero, or where a storm hits - limit their mobility significantly and quickly. Those living further away do not alter their movement patterns as drastically. This is what is referred to as 'spatial decay.' Over time, mobility patterns either return to normal, inch towards normal, or become even more perturbed. The team accounted for these variables by considering 'temporal decay,' as well.
When the team applied the model to the COVID-19 pandemic, it revealed great differences in movement among economic groups, which may help to explain the different infection rates. People from wealthy areas were more able to immediately reduce their mobility and maintain that change longer. People living in lower income areas exhibited a faster and greater hyperbolic decay.
"In other words, wealthier people were able to socially distance," Gao said. "Lower income people were forced to return to work."
"If events of recent years have taught us anything, it is that we must do our best to prepare for crises," said Curt Breneman, Dean of the Rensselaer School of Science. "This work by Dr. Gao and his team can inform enhanced and proactive emergency response planning to mitigate future extreme events. It also shines a light on persistent social inequities that we must find new ways to address."

(AFP) Senate Republican leaders forced a vote Tuesday on a climate change measure they ridicule, seeking to corner Democratic presidential hopefuls over an expensive, economy-upending plan proposed by the party's left wing.
The chamber easily rejected the Green New Deal, a proposal offered by progressive Democrats that would dramatically shift the United States away from fossil fuels toward renewable energy in an unrealistic effort to zero out greenhouse gas emissions within a decade.
Several Democrats running to challenge President Donald Trump next year have signed on to the plan.
Six Senate Democrats are 2020 White House candidates, and the chamber's Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell sought to get them on record supporting what would be a multi-trillion-dollar boondoggle.
"I could not be more glad that the American people will have the opportunity to learn precisely where each one of their senators stand on the 'Green New Deal': a radical, top-down, socialist makeover of the entire US economy," McConnell said.
"Some Democrats are trying to run away from something they previously embraced," said Republican Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee. "If so many Democrat Party leaders support the Green New Deal, why aren't they willing to vote for it and stand up behind it today?
Democrats accused the Senate's Republican leadership of quashing debate and blocking any public hearings on climate change.
"We need real action on climate change — not this kind of sham vote," said 2020 contender Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who has wholeheartedly embraced the Green New Deal.
"Climate change is a global crisis, not a political game," added Senator Elizabeth Warren, a liberal presidential candidate who also supports the Green New Deal.
The plan does not detail how America will wean itself off of fossil fuels, or how much the ambitious transformation will cost.
Republicans are seeking to make climate change a wedge issue in the election.
Trump himself mocked Democrats over the plan.
"No planes. No energy. When the wind stops blowing that's the end of your electric," he told a laughing crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference this month.
The plan's champion is Democrat socialist first-term congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

He has walked in space, operated Canada's Dextre robot and installed critical flight hardware to the ISS.
He has since left NASA to work for Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX). Reisman took a moment to chat with Universe Today just before the final launch of the shuttle program, STS-135, on the orbiter Atlantis. Reisman spoke about SpaceX's contract with NASA under the second phase of the Commercial Crew Development contract or CCDev-02, his new role as Director of SpaceX's Dragon Rider program and whether there is another trip to space in his future.
Universe Today: Hi Garrett, thanks for taking the time to talk with us today, tell us a little about CCDev-02.
Reisman: "Thanks, it's good to be here, SpaceX has dubbed CCDev-02 the 'Dragon Rider' program, CCDev sounds like someone's logon name. Dragon Rider is the name of SpaceX's efforts to send astronauts into orbit on board the Dragon Spacecraft."
Universe Today: A nod to Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern?
Reisman: "Exactly!" (laughing)
Universe Today: If you had to pick out one of the most interesting elements of what SpaceX is working on for CCDev-02 – what would it be?
Reisman: "I think I would have to say it is the integrated launch abort system. The system that SpaceX is working on will not be the normal tower that is positioned above the spacecraft; instead it will be built into the sides of the Dragon. This system will be reusable and allow the Dragon to land."

Universe Today: What do you think sets SpaceX apart from other, similar companies?
Reisman: "Some companies will offer you the rocket, others the spacecraft, at SpaceX we got both – it's one-stop-shopping. We got the rocket, the Falcon 9, which has had two very successful test flights and we have the Dragon Spacecraft which became the first commercial spacecraft to orbit the Earth and splash down safely this past December. With both of these vital elements we have great confidence that we can do what we say we will do as we move forward."
Universe Today: What made you decide to leave NASA and come to SpaceX?
Reisman: "I left NASA about four months ago and came over to SpaceX because I was very excited about what was going on in the commercial sector, just all this amazing innovation that was being unleashed and I wanted to be a part of that, to contribute to that."
Universe Today: Final question, as a veteran astronaut are you hoping to ride Dragon to orbit one day?
Reisman: (smiles) While that's not why I joined SpaceX – I wouldn't rule it out either…"
SpaceX is looking to launch the next Falcon 9 rocket with Dragon Spacecraft some time this fall from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 40. This demonstration flight will test out the Dragon's navigation and other operating systems. This year SpaceX is planning to launch two flights under the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services or COTS contract, worth $1.6 billion, that the company has with NASA.

Benefits: Coffee breaks in space!
"This year SpaceX is planning to launch two flights under the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services or COTS contract,"
FWIW, maybe they are planning so. But as for now their official milestone in the launch manifest is hardware delivered.
Gaetano Marano says:
the ENTIRE (40-tons-total) payload mass that "should" be carried to the ISS between 2014-16 and 2020 (+delays) by ALL the 20 "commercial space" CRS missions (12 with a cargo-Dragon and 8 with a Cygnus) awarded by NASA to SpaceX and Orbital Sciences (for a total price of $3.5 billion + over $1 billion for the COTS program) can be carried by (just) TWO further Shuttle flights (at 20 tons of payload per flight) and NOW, in late 2011 (then, NOT in 2015, or 2018, or 2020) for a total cost of about $1.5 billion, that is LESS THAN HALF the CRS program!!!
Marcel F. Williams says:
That's the beauty of corporate welfare:-)
NASA will also loose $3 billion a year after 2015 in order to continue the ISS program for the commercial space industry instead of using that $3 billion a year for beyond LEO missions.
the ISS was a three-beds-only space-hotel, while, now, after its upgrade, the ISS is a six-bed-only space-hotel (a total of 12 astronauts per year with crew rotation) but, since it's an INTERNATIONAL space-hotel, two of these astronauts (four per year) are european, two (four per year) russian and ONLY two (four per year) american
well, the FOUR european and russian astronauts (eight per year) always will use the Soyuz to fly to/from the ISS, since it's a ready available, cheap and very reliable spacecraft
of course, the TWO american astronauts (four per year) will fly on Soyuz capsules from late 2011 to 2017 and the MPCV-Orion from 2018 to 2020, when the ISS should be de-orbited and burned in the atmosphere
so, the total number of american astronauts that will fly to the ISS should be around 9*4+2=38 but ONLY if each astronaut will fly ONCE
clearly, it's not rational to train an astronaut to fly only ONCE, then, each astronaut should fly at least four times in 2012-2020, reducing the total number of NASA astronauts (with some backup astronauts) to ONLY 10-15 between 2011 and 2020
and, of course, since the ISS is an "hotel for six" and ONLY TWO of them can be americans, ALL these 10-15 astronaut will fly to the ISS with Soyuz and Orion
so, when one or more of the "american Soyuz capsules" called "Dragon" or "Blue Kliper" or "CST-pollo" and "Dream(only)chaser" (that "should" fly with crews around 2016-2018) will be available, should NOT have a MARKET, since the ISS does NOT have enough "beds & breakfast" ALSO for the "commercial astronauts"
Shuttle era: 30 years (1981-2011) 135 missions, 900+ astronauts, 2000 tons of (high value & resupply) cargo to LEO (+ the astronauts and cargo launched with Soyuz and Progress)
Soyuz+Orion era: only 9 years (2011-2020) about 20 crew missions, 38 american astronauts, about 100 tons of cargo-resupply-only carried with Progress, ATV, HTV, Dragon and Cygnus
"commercial spacecrafts" era: it may happen only after 2016 and only for cargo, while, the crew missions may never happen in this decade, since… 1. the Soyuz and Orion missions will be more than enough for the ISS and… 2. after 2020, the ISS should no longer exist, so, ZERO places to go = ZERO manned and cargo missions
now the tourists that will come to the KSC can only see the SPACE RELICS of the days when NASA and USA was able to build and launch the SaturnV to go to the Moon with the Apollo, the days when was able to develop and launch things like Viking, Spirit, Opportunity, Cassini, Hubble, the days when was able to build and launch 135 times the Space Shuttle with 900+ astronauts and 2000+ tons of cargo, the days when was able to build the ISS in space, etc. etc. etc.
all days LOST FOREVER, since, from now to 2017, the KSC will look much more like an abandoned western movie set in the desert or a large, but abandoned, cars' factory of Detroit in the days of the economy crisis and the americans that want to see the american astronauts fly in space, must buy a ticket for the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan
but, don't worry, just be patient, since, from 2018 (if lucky and if NASA give away two billions to SpaceX) to 2020 (but just one-two times per year) the mytical KSC may come back to life for a FEW HOURS like a Zombie and you will have the chance to see the lift-off of the "american Soyuz" called Dragon launched by a Falcon-9 (but ONLY if SpaceX will be able to man-rate a rocket with TEN engines, of course)
Todd Olson says:
cry baby!
Sam Regenbogen says:
Do yourself a favor and lift your eyes up a bit; you seem to be stuck staring at the ground beneath your feet. That's helpful to avoid tripping over things, but unlikely to get you very far anytime soon.
This isn't a question of short term cost-benefits. This is the turning point between a government monopoly stifling any development beyond Earth, and actually fulfilling the dreams of the Space Age. You can't seem to look beyond this framework of "space travel = servicing the ISS." How depressing! There's a whole universe out there and the only goal you can imagine for the space industry is ferrying a couple people to a "6-person-only space hotel"??
Look, I know, realistically speaking it's entirely possible the current crop of space companies aren't going to be the harbingers of the largest economic, historical, and sociopolitical shift humanity has ever seen (the colonization of space). HOWEVER, the fact of the matter is that shift is GOING to happen eventually, because the only other option is extinction. I for one am very impressed that NASA has the vision and the will to start working towards that future now. Government agencies are not usually known for having any type of foresight. Your type of thinking is the reason it's 2011 and all humanity has (50 years after landing on the moon!) is a "6-person-only space hotel." I'd rather NASA invest the money into the creation of a self-sustainable, completely new industry with unlimited potential for expansion, than save a bit of cash for the next 10 years, and then leave humanity with nothing once the ISS is retired.
Zachary Singer-Englar says:
Oh snap! You've just been told!
On a serious note though, Sam is right. Without the invention of commercial space agencies we will be mucking about in LEO for eternity. There is a need for delivery to LEO but we've done most of the interesting science that comes along with that, we've figured out how to do it inexpensively too; so to continue to tie NASA to it would effectively stifle the creative potential that brought us TANG, Hubble, and the new rover. Does CalTrans continue to stand on their shovels once the road is complete or do they stand aside and let the Costco trucks roll past?
TerryG says:
First, good on UT for getting the interview….
Second, Gaetano Marano….
If you redo the maths taking the Space Shuttle program's lifetime costs as a baseline, you arrive at a true "price tag of $1.5 billion per flight". Add in the cost of restarting the ET production line, rehiring many thousands of contractors, recommissioning one of the two of the Shuttles already being prepped for static display, etc., etc., then your assertion that you can have
"TWO further Shuttle flights […] for a total cost of about $1.5 billion"
might start to struggle.
The case you are trying to make was originally considered six or sevens years ago by Dr Mike Griffin, the previous NASA administrator, who signaled his intent to the cancel the Space Shuttle and start COTS, CCDev and CxP instead. The case of saving the Space Shuttle wasn't accepted then, and at this late stage amounts to flogging a dead horse.
Cygnus — timeline: 2014-16 to 2020 — number of flights: 8 — max cargo per flight: 2.5 tons — max total payload of all CRS missions: 20 tons
Dragon: timeline: 2014-16 to 2020 — number of flights: 12 — max cargo per flight: 3 tons — max total payloads of all CRS missions: 36 tons
costs of the COTS + CRS program: $1 billion for COTS + $3.5 billion for CRS including all 20 missions for a total of 56 tons max carried to the ISS = $80 million per ton of payload
Shuttle: timeline 2011-12 — number of flights: 2 — max cargo per flight 24 tons (+ 7 astronauts!!!) — max total payload: 48 tons (or just 40 tons to the ISS)
total costs of two further Shuttle missions: $1.6 billion for a total of (only) 40 tons of payload (+ 14 astronauts!!!) = $40 million per ton of payload (that's HALF the price of the "cheap" commercial space…)
SLS: timeline 2017-up — max cargo per flight: 130 tons — costs of the program: $10 billion — price per launch: over $1 billion — number of cargo flights in 2017-2020: four???
price per ton of payload of four SLS launches: $10 Bn + $4 Bn = $14 Bn / 520 tons = $27 million per ton of payload (that's 1/3rd the price of the "cheap" commercial space…)
Terrill Kincaid says:
Commercialization may be pricey now, but will result in lower costs in the long term. It will also result in advancement of the science and technology. We have been using the same craft for 30 years, without any real improvement to it. Without any real improvement to its safety either.
Also, if the comercial flights go down, then the government can blame big bad corporate america rather then admit it isn't perfect. That's the true cost savings here from a political standpoint.

Workshop Software Finds SaaS Success with Mertech Consulting Services
[fa icon="calendar"] Mar 1, 2017 1:19:00 PM / by Mertech Data Systems, Inc.
Founded by industry veteran James Mitchell, Workshop Software provides accessible software to small-scale automotive mechanical workshops. When Workshop turned towards the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, they asked Mertech to modernize their platform and ensure easy integration with their customers' strategic partners. With their improved product in place, Workshop Software is eyeing international expansion and hoping to partner with even more industry leaders.
Mertech Services Provided
UX|UI Design
About WS Software
Based in Australia, Workshop Software helps small-scale mechanics go toe-to-toe with franchise dealerships. Workshop's partnered with major auto industry players like Repco to ensure the thousands of mechanical workshops they support have access to modern software that reduces management time and increases profits.
Small-Scale Mechanics Need Modern Software Too
Workshop Software sells to small-scale auto shops, who neither need nor want a fully-featured, dealership-level software package. To serve their customers, Workshop wanted to create a new, low-cost Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. The new platform needed to be easy-to-use and mobile-friendly, because shop owners don't have time for complicated systems that require working from a desktop.
Additionally, Workshop's SaaS platform needed to integrate seamlessly with other services their customers used. By automating integration with accounting apps like Xero and QuickBooks, marketing services like MailChimp, and parts suppliers like Repco, Workshop hoped to free shop owners from most of their typical, day-to-day management chores.
"Without Mertech's expertise, this project would've taken a lot more time and resources to execute."
James Mitchell
Workshop Software Pty Ltd.
A Facelift, Both Back and Front
After reviewing Workshop's previous app and their new requirements, Mertech got to work on updating Workshop's SaaS platform. Mertech developers and designers overhauled nearly every aspect of the product, from the backend to the frontend.
First, Mertech rewrote Workshop's application using Ruby on Rails, an important upgrade from Visual DataFlex (VDF). Switching to a Ruby-powered backend enabled the third-party integrations Workshop needed, as well as additional integration with Chargify for subscription processing.
Mertech also gave the software's UI and overall design a major facelift. Our team created a simple yet rich frontend that's easy for mechanics to navigate, while still providing access to every feature they need. And in just five weeks, we also created a brand-new, native iOS app that Workshop was able to make available in the Apple App Store.
"I was very impressed with the usability and functionality of our new application. It was very fast, secure, and provided an easy-to-use experience, even on mobile devices."
- James Mitchell
Success, Subscribers, and Expansion
Just one month after launching their new platform, Workshop Software gained more new subscribers than during their previous two years in the market. The new platform's integration with accounting solutions specifically increased sales, as shop owners who valued this new feature referred Workshop to their peers.
In light of their new success, Workshop is looking forward to expanding internationally and creating new partnerships with other major players in the automotive industry.
"I see a bright future for the new Workshop Software. With the tools we've developed and plan to expand on, we're excited to build our ecosystem by integrating with more partners on a global scale."

It seems like fantasy owners are always looking for the next stud young pitcher on the precipice of making an impact. That involves more than just putting up a good ERA and the possibility of getting wins. The potential to strikeout batters, and at an impressive rate, is just as important.
Just look at that BABIP. That's some bad luck, yet, with the number of strikeouts he was able to produce, he still put up stellar numbers. In fact, in the Major Leagues last season there were only seven pitchers with at least 100 innings who had a BABIP above .330. Of them Ricky Nolasco posted the best WHIP at 1.25 with no one else being better than 1.37 (Carl Pavano).
We all know the strikeouts will likely regress some as he moves up the levels, but at the same time he should pitch to significantly better luck as well. Put it together and it is not unbelievable to think that he could actually post a similar WHIP, even against more advanced hitters.
At the time he was drafted, Rockies Vice President of Scouting, Bill Schmidt, said, "He has a four-pitch mix and a very good breaking ball." That breaking ball (his curveball) is what many believe is his best pitch.
The ERA in 2009 was impressive, but it's obviously going to be difficult to maintain. He did a great job of keeping the ball in the ballpark, allowing just five home runs. As he moves up, you have to expect him to allow a few more, but again, being capable of generating swings and misses certainly goes a long way in correcting for some mistakes.
The fact that he's a 22-year old lefty just makes him all the more attractive to a team that is likely to have a hole in its rotation (Jason Marquis is a free agent and unlikely to return).
Hammel sports a career ERA of 5.18 over 384.0 innings (though, as Tim Lawrence pointed out yesterday, he does have some potential upside) and in Francis, does anyone really know what to expect? Once a dependable option and the ace of the Rockies staff (despite a career 4.74 ERA), Francis missed all of 2009. To count on him to be a major force would be a mistake.
It all adds up to the Rockies likely needing one, if not two additional starters at some point in 2010 (not taking any potential injuries into account). Would it surprise anyone to see Friedrich be given an opportunity?
He did miss time in 2009 due to inflammation in his elbow, which helped to limit his innings. That could be a cause for concern, since he could face an innings limit in 2010, so keep that in mind.
Still, with his stuff, you have to like his chances of not only getting an opportunity, but making a major impact. When you can get strikeouts like he has, you are an instant player to monitor in all formats.
What are your thoughts? How good could Friedrich be? Will he make an impact in 2010?

Reeds, Reeds, Everywhere..and all of them seem to squeak!
As my first official order of business, I've decided to alienate half of our readership. Woo hoo! I've really got the hang of this blogging thing already, don't I?? It's my goal to see how many times I can get Sean to regret his decision to ask me to write a few posts. I think we can all safely assume this will be the first, but definitely not the last…So brass players, take a load off. Go pick out a new mute, empty your spit valve onto some unsuspecting person's toe… or whatever it is you guys do for fun.
What I wanted to talk about today is something that only affects some of us, but for those of us who have to deal with it, can cause a real problem in any studio or lesson setting. I'm talking epic, Biblical plague-like problems. Giant swarms of locusts would be easier to deal with than this.
I'm, of course, talking about single reeds.
Or as I like to call them: tiny, tiny pieces of the devil.
I'm not even going to touch on how much I hate picking out reeds for my own personal use. Rest assured choosing reeds is not one of my favorite activities.
What I'm here to discuss is kids and reeds. Two things that should probably never, ever be in the same room together. The old saying "like a bull in a china shop" comes to mind. One of my biggest pet peeves as a teacher is having a student with equipment that doesn't work properly, whether it be a non-working key that a student has known about for weeks and is just ignoring, a ligature that won't screw properly, or broken reeds. Broken reeds are the bane of my existence. I haven't quite figured out how a sixth grader who seems to have a psychic ability to determine that the student next to them is one-seventyith of an inch too close to them in class can miss the giant, softball sized chunk absent from the tip of their reed. Or the thick coating of mold emanating from the very thing they're sticking in their mouth every day. Ugh…I think I just made myself a little nauseous. It can be like pulling teeth to get a student to play on something that doesn't look like they gave it to their pet guinea pig to gnaw on for a while. And I think we all know the terrible habits kids start to pick up when they're deliberately changing their embouchure to make a horrible reed sound okay.
I feel like I'm digressing a little bit from my point, so let's get back to it – this post is dedicated to sharing ideas on how to get students to use and take care of their reeds properly.
First and foremost is something I never did as a kid, but one of the band directors at my school teaches his beginning band students to do it, and I find it genius in its simplicity. As part of their required supply list, all students purchase a four slot reed guard at the beginning of the school year. Each slot is marked with a number or a different colored sticker – anything to differentiate the slots from each other. Throughout the week, the band director has his students cycle through the reeds, using one each day and basically ensuring that there are 4 broken-in reeds at any given time. When one reed breaks, the student immediately refills that spot with a new reed, working it back into rotation. Like I said…simple, but genius. Easy enough for kids to understand and implement and gets them started on thinking about having more than one working reed at a time. As an added bonus, the reed guards are MUCH easier for little fingers to use than those terrible plastic sleeves the reeds come in. Whoever came up with that little idea obviously never worked with 11-year-olds. Of course, these reed guards still require monitoring. Every few weeks, I peruse through the reed guard, immediately demolishing any reed that's chipped or starting to mold. I'm probably costing the parents a little extra money, but I'm also saving their child from contracting some medieval form of black lung.
But what about those students who refuse (for whatever reason) to buy new reeds? Has anyone else had a kid try and use the same reed for…I don't know…six months or so before physically taking the reed from them and crumpling it against a wall?
I spent many years frustratingly asking "Is this an old reed?" or "How long have you had this reed?" before I decided that was dumb and I was wasting my breath. Currently, I buy a box of reeds at the beginning of each semester. If you spend too many weeks sounding like you're trying to play a kazoo, you must destroy your reed and take one of my new ones. Once I run out of reeds for the semester, that's it. No more. Luckily, I haven't had anyone try and cheat the system by making me their free reed supplier, but I figure if that ever happens, a quick email to parents with my new reed policy (If your student spends too many weeks on a bad reed without replacing it, don't worry – I have you covered! I'll simply add $5 to your next bill for the reed your student purchased from me!) A little harsh? Maybe. But definitely to the point.
How about all you clarinet and saxophone teachers out there? Any great ideas to help your students learn about reed care?

The late, great leader of The Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, hand-picked "Ben Marcato and his Mondo Combo" exclusively, to perform at his 1994 Valentine's Day wedding reception at the Corinthian Yacht Club in Tiburon.
Ben Marcato recently completed his fifth CD "Imagination", a collection of jazz standards emphasizing his smooth, evocative interpretations of timeless tunes such as "Someone to Watch Over Me", "Embraceable You" and "The Way You Look Tonight". New York's jazz maestro Cedar Walton played piano and wrote the impeccable musical arrangements for big band and string orchestra that complement the set of classic American songs. The recording is being marketed to jazz labels such as Blue Note, Impulse and Savoy.
New projects for Ben include an all-original album of songs written in the style of west coast cool Jazz and bossa nova, entitled "Naturally". In addition, Ben and his six-piece band return to the studio to begin the work on a new CD of "old school funk and soul" originals featuring the title track "21st Century Fox".

Despite what you might have heard, a drop in temperatures does not mean an increase in hair loss. The cold weather doesn't have any effect on the amount of hair on your head. If anything, cooler temperatures might increase the number of hairs a person has. Similar to the way dogs grow a thicker coat of fur in the winter, people might get more scalp hair in the cooler parts of the year to help them stay warm.
Recent studies prove that winter doesn't lead to hair loss. One study conducted over the course of six years found that people tend to lose the least amount of hair during the chilly months of the year.
Everyday, people lose between 50 and 100 strands of hair; sometimes even more. During some months of the year, usually October or November, the number might be much closer to 100 than it is to 50, making shedding more noticeable. Known as seasonal shedding, the condition usually affects women, but can also occur in men.
Usually, people experiencing seasonal shedding shouldn't worry as this is usually temporary. Losing up to a 100 hairs a day for a period of time is still well within the normal range for hair loss. However if you think you are losing more than 100 strands of hair daily or start to see patches of skin, you may want to speak with a hair restoration specialist, as the cause might be male or female pattern baldness, and not seasonal shedding.
Hats provide a number of benefits to your scalp and hair. They keep your head warm in the winter. They can make a stylish statement. They can cover up your hair on days when it's just not behaving.
Unfortunately, hats get a lot a blame when it comes to hair loss. Although a hat might add static to your hair or cause it to stand on end, wearing a hat won't contribute to baldness or increase your chances for hair loss. A common misconception is that wearing hats put friction or strain on your hair follicles, causing the hair to fall out.
While winter weather and head gear won't make your lose your hair, the cold temperatures and dry air will change your hair slightly. You might notice that it's drier or feels more brittle in the winter. Keep your hair soft and strong in the winter by giving it a bit more TLC. Skip the long sessions with the hair dryer (let it air dry or use a cooler setting) and try to limit the hot styling tools.
You may also want to swap the shampoo you use in the winter for one that is more moisturizing and nourishing. If dryness is an issue for you and your scalp in the winter, see a hair restoration specialist to learn what shampoo would be best to use.
Another way to add moisture to dry, brittle winter hair is to amp up your conditioning efforts. Try adding a once-a-week deep conditioning treatment to your routine or a leave-in conditioner.
For more information on how the seasons can effect hair loss, visit www.tmhair.com or call our clinic to schedule a complimentary consultation at 713-838-1880.
This month we want to show our support for prostate cancer awareness by promoting the Blue Cure Foundation.

Life was a cabaret thanks to Durango Choral Society
Health Travel Dear Abby Community
Tuesday, May 17, 2016 10:37 AM
Updated: Tuesday, May 17, 2016 10:45 AM
The phrase "sing for your supper" comes to mind when thinking about the Durango Choral Society's Cabaret fundraiser.
Although, of course, they sang for our supper, more or less.
The event, which took place Saturday to a packed house at the Durango Arts Center, is a chance for the singers to show off individual talents and see all of them more relaxed and having some fun.
Longtime choral society supporter Stan Crapo of Star Liquors sponsored the event. Michelle and Frank Hegenwald not only sponsored the food, she prepared much of it, with a carving station provided by Chuck Norton Catering. Cheryl Birchard added a welcome hand. Fruit, cheese and vegetable trays, dips, large peppered salmon fillets, shrimp in pastry, chicken-pineapple skewers, egg-salad sandwiches and desserts galore – Jean-Pierre Bakery's buttery cookies stamped with a train courtesy of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory truffles (I would love to know how many pounds of chocolate they give to nonprofit events annually), cream puffs, brownies. ... Well, you get the picture. It was quite the spread.
Scott Hagler, the executive director of 3rd Ave. Arts, may live in Santa Fe now, but he is still involved here, designing a bright yellow program for the main fundraiser of the DCS, which also includes the Durango Women's Choir, Durango Children's Chorale and Durango Teen Choir.
And what a program it was! While rock 'n' roll should have been the music of my youth, it was more classical music and the second holy trinity of Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Cole Porter, so this kind of music is what we sang in the Butler household. New on stage this year was the Cabaret Combo, featuring Jeff Solon on saxophone, Gary Walker on piano, Eli Rio on base and John O'Neal on drums. They definitely amped up the cabaret feel of the evening.
Music Director Linda Mack Berven took a slightly different tack this year, pulling out a number of the talented individuals who are usually in the chorus to solo.
Lori Fisher, whom I only knew as the senior humanities teacher at Animas High School, now has not only my respect but my envy. She sang "Lullaby of Birdland" and then joined Sarah Choszczyk, Amanda Fresh, Mandy Gardner, Erin Sinberg and Dawn Spaeder on an outstanding "Cell Block Tango" from "Chicago." Spaeder had a wowser solo of her own on "Get Happy."
Alison Dance often has a solo at the Cabaret, but this year's "My Funny Valentine" may be her best yet. Bless Gemma Kavanagh's heart – she not only brought her glorious soprano voice to the party, she had to learn anatomy to sing "The Physician," about a doctor who loved her from her epiglottis to her epidermis, but didn't love her.
Other standouts included Curtis Storm and Bailey Barnes-Fagg on "As Long as You're Mine" from "Wicked" and Storm on "Music of the Night" from "Phantom of the Opera." It was a great get for our area when a tenor of his caliber moved here.
Jonathan Patton, the recipient of a choral society scholarship to a music student at Fort Lewis College, shone on "Nobody Needs to Know" from the "Last Five Years" and dueted with Karla Brown on "Ain't Misbehavin'."
Brown had a busy evening, also singing with two of the three Jewel Tones in a side-themed "Side by Side" and "On the Happy Side of the Street," and in the debut of the Durango Chamber Singers on "Night and Day" and "My Bonnie Lass She Smelleth." (You had to be there for that one.)
The Durango Chamber Singers, directed by Elizabeth Crawford, had only been singing together for about six weeks, so their tight harmonies were quite impressive.
And just for a nice change of pace, Ruth Cutcher and Rhys Schrock broke out their best Flatt and Scrugg on "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms."
Be sure to check out Neighbors online. Paul Boyer provided me with lots of great photos, which are available online, as is a video by Gordon Thomas, who captured the inimitable Berven in one of her infamous singings of The Durango Herald's blotter. It's set to music by Handel and Bizet.
HHHHoping for a jaunty new umbrella for their birthdays are Bill Hoffman, Shep Shepherd, Sarah Leavitt, Ashley Hening, Lucas Hoffman, Pat James, Richard Byrd, Shelley Hatfield, Evelyn Black, Briana Sandhaus, Donald Yale, Joyce Fontana, Sage Remington, Janet May, Margery Runyon, Kristi Ramsey, Joan Spicer, Rose Bartol, Carol Simmons, Elsa Caudle, Robert Manning, Jan Emmanuel, Josh Van Blarcum, Della Patton, Jade Ranasinghe, Anna L.M.

HHHThe Health Coalition of Southwest Colorado (formerly the Women's Health Coalition) exists to help people fighting cancer with all those expenses that add up so fast when you're ill and maybe working only part-time, if at all. Patients in the five counties of Southwest Colorado are eligible with certain guidelines. The assistance can include gas cards to get to treatment or assistance with rent or groceries up to $500.
The group has given away more than $100,000 in its almost 20 years of existence, and it has to raise the money to give it away. Which brings us to Burger Night at the Palace Restaurant from 5 to 10 p.m. Thursday. Owner Paul Gelose is throwing open his eatery to support this excellent cause with $10 burgers, and there will also be a silent and live auction with some pretty cool stuff. Robby Overfield will provide the live music to put eventgoers in a giving mood.
Cancer is hard enough – worrying about finances should not be part of the picture.
HHHOn Thursday, the members of the Reading Club of Durango held their 133rd – or is it 134th, I'll have to do the math – President's Luncheon. The club, founded in 1882, is one of the oldest clubs in the state, and members are as committed to learning today as the founders were in the rough and rowdy days of early Durango.
Organizing the event was the last official act by outgoing President Mary Jane Basye before she handed the gavel over to Lynn May, who will preside over the organization next year. The women gathered at the Edgewater Grill at the DoubleTree Hotel for a social time focused on everything from reading suggestions for the summer to looking forward to next year's study of the Middle East.
It was fortunate member Diane Skinner was headed to the Cortez Birding Festival, because she had her bird book in the car. She identified a white-faced ibis for Kathy Purcell.
And of course, the main topic of conversation was reliving a year's worth of programs centered around creative women.
Basye, known to compose an appropriate ditty for special occasions, wrote one for her luncheon:
"So, for programs so wonderfully enlightening, Dear presenters, we applaud; And our hostesses, who graciously opened their homes, And fêted us with delicacies, we laud."
Basye not only presided over the club, she shared some of her spectacular quilting during a program on that historical art form. And as a parting gift, she sewed journal covers featuring the pink and green club colors with fabric she found in her late mother's stash.
She sent everyone off with sweet treats, cowboy oatmeal cookies and ginger snaps she had baked.
HHHWhether you're my kind of bowler, happy to just break 100, or a scratch bowler shooting for a perfect game, the Bowlers to Veterans Link is for all of us. The event raises money to fund recreational activities for both in- and out-patient veterans who are receiving treatment at the Grand Junction Veterans Affairs Hospital.
BVL brings sports and the arts, including music and other entertainment, to veterans to boost their spirits and speed recuperation.
The local fundraiser has been chaired by Louise White for more than 25 years because she saw first hand how important recreation was for her husband when he was at the VA, bowling from a wheelchair. White has been recognized at the national BVL level for her dedicated efforts.
Here's how it works: Bowling is free between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday at Rolling Thunder Lanes in Ignacio, with bowlers asked to collect donations for the cause to turn in while there. A lane reservation is requested, so call 563-1707 by Thursday to pick your time. Prizes will be given out randomly throughout the day.
Rolling Thunder Lanes, the La Plata County U.S. Bowling Congress Bowling Association and the BVL Committee are co-sponsoring the event, with all proceeds going to Bowlers to Veterans Link.
HHHI wasn't too sure what the Stillwater Foundation was when it first started, but its results from providing music opportunities to youth are impressive indeed. I know lots of people think, "Kids playing music, how good can they be?'" The answer is very, and you can see for yourself on Saturday.
The weather is supposed to be gorgeous, just in time for the foundation's 6th annual Party in the Park, which will take place from noon to 5 p.m. at Buckley Park. Nonstop music with more than 100 talented youth performers, including not only bands from Stillwater, but musical theater groups from the Durango Arts Center's Applause! program and classical string ensembles from the Be For the Recreational and Artistic Needs of Kids Foundation.
If you're trying to plan an enriching summer for the kids in your family, there will be booths from numerous regional organizations that offer summer programs ranging from music and science to sports and dance. One-stop shopping as it were.
The event is sponsored by the Durango Friends of the Arts and the city of Durango
HHHBouquets of tulips will make anniversaries colorful for Brad and Monique Monson, Earle and Betty Beasley, Don and Tracy Cornutt, Roy and Gwen Cook, Phil and Ellen Patterson, Robert and Marion Wengler, Lee and Bethany Bieth, Art Meyer and Judy Roy-Meyer and Paul and Pat Wainwright.
HHHHere's how to reach me: neighbors@durangoherald.com; phone 375-4584; mail items to the Herald; or drop them off at the front desk. Please include contact names and phone numbers for all items. Follow me on Twitter @Ann_Neighbors.I am happy to consider photos for Neighbors, but they must be high-quality, high-resolution photos (at least 1 MB of memory) and include no more than three to five people.

All right, and here the first final outdoor pictures.
At the MB tray was as always exactly there a strut where the ATX cable should run, so also had to be helped here again.
On this grid are two stripes which I originally wanted to leave in red.
The PSU Window left me no rest. I then found a good tutorial for cementing plexiglass.
Important is polyester adhesive tape. So again a small window cut, adjusted, polished edges.
Apply the polyester adhesive tape completely to the surface to be glued, then place the window on it and gently cut it with the scalpel once. So I now have a perfectly mashed surface.
Remove the center tape now, of course. Then apply abundant to full acryfix and press the window gently free of bubbles.
This time I have accelerated the drying process additionally with UV light, just in bad weather, the sunlight simply does not matter. I think it was also often to bubble formation so that the glue usually after 24h was not 100% hard. With the UV light I could break off the glue easily after 3 hours with a chisel.
So all good things are 3. Unfortunately, 4-5 photos from the window have not changed anything but I will finish it in the final pics in detail.
And then with the case colored red foil.
Now again a dangerous matter. The Windows had to be adjusted something so I can continue to use it. Since some covers were closing in the way, I had to separate something from the steel of the Windows.
Since glass can crack quickly with the sudden contact with heat I am very cautiously proceeded and have repeatedly inserted breaks at the cutting.
But first I have the whole window with foil protected and then still an old rag for the protection against spark hung before it.
Up to the last update!
all Alphacool logos were exchanged Chrome logos and the CPU holder got something orange accents.
this has been repeatedly painted before and painted in the end black and covered with foil (the design of the graphics card) Unfortunately, I have a separate image of this, you can see it but the final images.
On that PSU Cover I back side glued two strips to slide the cover exactly on the Mid-tray can.
Now I have the fenders on it glued, with double-thick adhesive tape, looks like a thermal pad, it has the appearance of a sealing rubber.
the Xtreme Gaming stickers Gigabyte I can yet plotting to three times the size and for a small aluminum plate designed as a backing to give it some depth profile.
For lighting I have two LED strips soldered with dimmable remote control handle.
As under car illumination a black light LED comes strip used, these had a loose connection so I renewed the cable.
Brass pipes were all again adapted and something shortened because but a few things were not quite satisfactory.
-an appropriate coolant I have mixed in distilled water and Mayhams Dey Yellow and Red.
Now the worst after I had filled the Sys yesterday again with the correct Coolant and all just sample ran, there was an after 5min ZISCH and reservoir was empty.
One of the brass tubes slipped from the CPU cooler and the pump has pumped their entire contents to the CPU / motherboard.
super, something one day before completion.
Well the Sys was out, it was only the pump, but I am a bit nervous to start the system.
Yesterday I naturally everything dried again, mixed new Coolant, refilled again, and the whole then as to run through the night.
As promised , the final pics.
Now I've upgraded the backplate visually.
Then everything completely matted and glued to the GPU.
I've also added some of the motherboard's design.
Because then I noticed that the foil to little is. Well sometimes you have to see it all before you.
Yesterday I started already with the sleeving of the cables. Actually already last week but with the Masterwatt is a sleeving 1: 1 not possible so I had to reject the plan and create now only Extension.
Sorry for some images, with Energy Drink in the blood, it is difficult to keep the camera calmly XD.
As recently already announced I had my first time a form for the 13er brass tubes build.
So get bought in the hardware store and a 15er copper pipe and bent this.
On the second try that also looked very presentable.
This bent pipe and a piece I've just halved with the Flex and sanded smooth.
Now the holes for the pipes and cable set.
after the 1/4 inch thread cutter was there I was able to secure the DTM exhaust.
Just stupid that the angle was too thin so I decided from 3mm aluminum sheet suitable nuts cut and there purely cut the thread.
Not pretty but rarely does what it should and can not be seen anyway.
This is what I can actually save me but I speak the topic anyway.
After a little practice with the brass tubes and tube bender I have created the loop in the interior.
and Cutt! I knew it! Every time I say to myself, do not start before the hardware is there and I have made the mistake again.
My plan was to pack the graphics card in the lower 2 PCIe slots to have up enough space to tinker from the brass tubes a exhaust manifold.
Yes if you plan in advance is all in vain.
Coolers of graphics cards are too thick, you can not use the lower PCIe slot, even if the Mid tray comes out only stay 5mm up to PSU.
Then there would be no more room for the wooden board with the leather and the PCI outputs on Case would also be extended by one.
The loop at any rate nothing that cpus come up into it, half of the tubes I could accommodate but first I needed new.
Now I have set the position for the AIO radiators of GPUs. One comes before the power supply and the second comes from the back of the case.
around the pump to be positioned as flexible as possible I have set oblong holes. For milling these holes I need to buy a cross table to me.
Here I drilled only at the beginning and end of two holes and cut out the connection.
well as already mentioned I have to make different loop so I displaced all the holes in the pipe carry out, just like the first time with cone drill drilled to 16mm and a 17mm drill afterwards.
the old holes I closed with aluminum kit and 2K Filler again, back simply tape it so that it does not fall through, which you can then easily be removed or sanded again.
around the compressions of the outer corners in bend can not be seen. If the Window cut to size after the bend. Delicate matter I know.
Beautifully clamped the whole and every 5cm goes be reclamped thus merely nothing wrong.
Now I have the brass tubes to re-cut and bent.
all cutting edges on Case I have with color (Paintbrush) overlined to the rust prevention even if this is not the best method.
The holes should in fact be stung with a Hollow Punch, the ground was too soft so I had to cut it with a knife. Not very clean but is concealed by the fittings.
Now I have all the parts ready lacquered.
so now the next challenge: a PSU cover. So that you still can still use the Window and open.
Now I glued the leather on it.
Before leather I had already made a Fillup, everything was tight. Get tomorrow everything reinstall and start with the cabling.
Little things are still, Window outer edges polished, correct a few pipes at the loop, what you always see only the photos and operate at all corners yet tweaking.
a Sli bridge I wanted to build but a little time still remains for me.
Here is the next update!
There is not much to say, the pictures speak for themselves.
Since the red film is a little translucent, I decided to double everything with film, so first black and then red.
Here are the small items around the PSU Window.
The black plexiglass was only frosted with 600 wet abrasive paper.
Is hardly recognizable in the photos.
At the front there were some problems, as the front is slightly arched, the plexiglass was under tension and did not hold.
So everything had to clean again and paint again.
The plexiglass I have still slightly warmed and bent before the second attempt before I have attached it with epoxy glue.
With the other elements I am exactly the same.
Unfortunately, I had occasionally epoxy glue on the hands and the many cleaning of the surfaces, the paint was so strongly attacked that I had to paint everything again.
I really wanted to avoid it, but I could not let that happen.
Afterwards, all parts were fixed to the base plate and glued with Acrifix 1S 0116.
After a long time, I think a good design for the front and the top. It is a mixture of 2mm and 3mm Plexiglas combined in high gloss and matt.
and this converted to Bitspower.
And then I glued the 6mm strips on the front, fixed with seconds glue and the outer edges all closed with Acrifix, really complicated because the front is slightly bent.
Here everything is already positioned for the water cooling and measured whether everything fits so far.
Therefore only the pipes have to be cut.
As announced I made a small engine bonnet.
The Ram modules I have also mounted casual.
but ran is not according to plan. The GSkill have only one side of memory so she slipped always out of the bottom.
I have also used it nor the thermal pad of the original cooler.
so much for that than next I have the exhaust manifold from the brass tubes tinker.
Actually the red plexiglass should be polished but these small 2 x 20mm strips all the same to grind brought me to white heat. So I glued the small stripes with epoxy glue to the aluminum and just sanded them after curing.
The Red Plexiglas later foiled everything anyway. I just wanted the UV effect of the polished edges. But in this one place I will be able to cope with it. These strips are then painted with.
In this form, the entire cover did not fit into the PSU bay anymore. I thought I had to shorten the whole aperture still a bit but the angle adjust has also helped.
I still had to practice and test something.
Screws I wanted here actually very reluctant.
Somehow it worked then, I believe at least.
So I now ventured to the correct angle.
Everything with as little contact with other surfaces so that the heat can not be dissipated as quickly and as a base a granite slab. Last but not least, the veneer of the workbench flown around my ears, they gave a loud bang XD!
So everything neatly sanded and degreased and then everything for soldering eigespannt.
I am really satisfied with the result. In the sample I did not have such good capillary action.
The window for the PSU I now cut from 2mm Plexiglas and polished all edges.
Is a little bubble but I like the effect. Thanks to the brass pipes of the water cooling you will not see any water in the system anyway.
The patterns for the front I have all transferred to 2mm Plexiglas and sawn.
Here I have already made the first changes to the original file?
I cut off all cutting edges with a Cutta blade, then polished from 320 (400, 600,) to 800 paper wet and finally polished with two polishing pastes on high gloss.
In order to see slowly times to go forward I began yesterday with the paint.
Will finally also see whether it all acts as I imagine it before it goes with the other surfaces.
Aluminum got a special 1 / K aluminum primer and the Plexiglas I primed with plastic adhesion mediator.
Then continue working with spraying spatula.
So then, let's see how far I come next week.
Here I want to introduce all components used again.
Here the ASRock Fatal1ty X99X Killer/3.1. I think the contrast of red green really well.
Despite still missing parts I could not let it remain and have begun already times.
First, as always, the case was made naked.
Now it went straight to the air intake slots of a fender. Dry runs I had behind me so right now.
Now I have a positive and negative form for it to create the aluminum during peening / flanging (as called the molding of aluminum at all ?, I do not know it) does not tear unintentionally.
at the same time the rear spoiler is made. Here I decided for MDF.
only new holders for the reservoir is made.
The exhaust is then the way from a few remnants of brass pipes and fittings with 45 ° angle.
here I had everything tested, by lacquered whether I like the result. One often sees irregularities only when it's done, so better now before there is no time.
After the case was made naked, I had to realize that my radiator constellation was not as fit as I wanted.
After a long time, I had to saw.
The 280er does not fit above and the 240er comes extremely far down then the piping then the mainboard would cover, so the 280er upwards.
The yellow taped points I will cut first.
The second marking is for the 8Pin Atx cable which is exactly centered with the Gaming I7. Sloping cable routing is not my thing, so I will enlarge the cable lead.
In order to work there clean, I had to remove only the rear handle from the case.
The ATX cable bushing I cut up well on the double size and of course, once slipped off and the paint damaged.
Since I have already tried massively in different colors it meets this here with best but wanted to use and I will not continue it.
Then I riveted the handle from the case immediately and the rivets painted black (right), all interfaces of course also ..
Then I once cut all possible materials, cut patterns created, plotted and transferred to the material.
3mm plexiglass red fluorescent as base plate for HDD cover and The X99 Arock arrows for the Windows.
After the sawing of the 2mm strips I have now all these on neat gaps, straightened and sanded.
Then I have the 2mm Plexiglas again completely ground, cleaned and with double-sided tape on a sheet glued so that it does not fly away from the paint.
So that would be status quo.
Next, I'm trying to create an inlay for the PSU window, hope it works out the way I've seen it with some others. Is indeed something angular.
And for the front of the case I'm still looking for inspiration. I just can not think of what I do best under the arrows, where the Cooler Master logo sits. Something has to be there because otherwise it looks boring.
After a long time of thinking, I've decided to do a more complex Casemod. Lets see what I'm doing with it.
To be called into action is coming the brand new Mastercase Maker 5.
Inspired was this Mod from the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.
The interior was completely cleaned and covered with pale Leather. For the Cables/PSU Area a Cover was created in the Design of the Case.
It should be installed a lavish Watercooling with Brasstubes and Chrome Fittings which should seems like a Header.
The AGB will fitted justified in the front of the Case, so that it will be one unit on that case and be used as brake fluid reservoir.
At the Case you will find some air scoops, which are normally founded on engine covers or fenders., which will be made from me out of Aluminum Plates.
At the Leather I made different punch works.
Here and there will be a Wing installed together with Headlights and one DTM Axle Back Exhaust.
The Theme is called Sportcar and I will try to make as much Details as possible.
the Execution of this Project wouldn't be possible.
"SL" as you already know from Mercedes Benz, is to make the first impression what this project stands for. Elegance, luxury and simple forms.
The MasterCase Maker 5T is used.
The interior is as discreetly as possible cleared of all unnecessary elements.
The walls are clad with Plexiglas and multi-layered in the design of the mainboard.
An elaborate water cooling system is installed which, however, is kept as minimal as possible.
A cover is made for the cable area, which provides a window for the PSU and on which the ASROCK logo is placed in case size.
All cables are sleevedin the hardware colors.
From the outside the contours of the Maker 5T are emphasized by Plexiglas, where also sponsor logos will be found.
So much for the formal part.
The Maker5t will be my next Rig, since I have not yet a good portable Gaming PC.
So I have now also evasive possibilities when my table times problems and above all I can finally also times my table new hardware miss.
Actually, I wanted in this project not so much effort to operate but again will grow the mod again tremendous.
And let the whole project be inspired by the mainboard.
In order to bring the project as smoothly as possible, I took this time a bit more time on the computer and already times sketches for the different covers created.
The elements are glued together in several different colors.
Partially varnished, partially foil and partly (only) polished.
For use comes Plexiglas in various colors and thicknesses, aluminum foils and varnishes.
This cover comes on the right side in the case inside where the drive bays sit.
To the right the original pattern and to the left the lighting effect.
So "Nanoxia investigated the Super Modder" is over and I can concentrate fully on Lightglass again.
After some problems with the customs duty I could pick last week even the memory.
I can not decide which photos are best, so here's all me, unfortunately.
Since I have been waiting for a while on this package, I had prepared for it, the sliding door.
As patterns I have a print out a label and logo cut with the scroll saw, all cut edges just filed and satin.
Behind then come white Plexiglass so the Avexir Logo completely illuminated.
I was last week, unfortunately, every day for my individual Cabelcombs and backplates stickers go.
Parallel comes shortly a new project added which cost me too much time.
As I said recently, I had adapted and completed some things already in color, but I have you do not even shown.
Here times an image of the PSU, the CM Silencio, the Thermaltake Riing, EK radiator Conditions holders, and two logos from 3mm Plexiglas are that found on the front of the case, above and below the Riing their place.
Some of the routes have been worth last week and I could make the backplates completed.
and here the short instruction on how I manage that.
First I had to create a vector file to let me cut a foil.
and could then glue the transfer film on it, the whole then positioned on the backplates and mounted on the GPUs.
Are me really, really well done I think.
My IO cover I built again yesterday.
So I went again from the beginning and was also equal to make a few changes.
here's the comparison to the last!
The Monsoon Bending Kit you can not really use it for 16er tubes, there are large footprints on the inside of the tubes because the tubes Monsoon only 15.9mm in size.
This a millimeter makes really a lot. The bent tube acts otherwise almost angular.
So now equal to the next update.
For the cable entry in Mainboardtray I made 2 cover for the 24 pin cable.
The first I forgot to photograph completely, so the photos are somewhat mixed.
then over Easter we went to the SLI-bridge and an IO Cover.
I then painted along with the PCI slot brackets.
The bottom plate hung but centrally through quite a bit.
The whole week I was busy putting large part with holes.
from there, we go into the base plate and then back out to the PSU.
Sorry I'm already so late, it has done so a lot but everything i can not post this time.
So I'll start with the most beautiful.
Last week I ordered the CPU and thus could finally assemble all water cooler.
After I finally received the last parts of EK, I could set the bracket for the radiator.
Is to see the images badly but I have behind the 3 fan openings set again 2 angles which carry the Radiator.
Here I have the ultrasonic sensor mounted, did not think that I can do that right away but it fits perfectly.
How do I fix or him from below fasten I do not know. The holes at the edge of the sensor are less than one Millimeter.
from the front I had to cut out a little more so that I can shove the sensor from the bottom.
Middle of last week, the last parts arrived for water cooling.
Unfortunately, I am not to photograph unpack and got away, but here's a little look in the package!
And yesterday was one more hammer package.
let's see what is beautiful in it was!
I find the Sleev´s and Comb´s MEEEEEEGAA!
This is a fun, I hope have not too much for me made but at least I do not annoy me with the Para Cords .
Now I show you yet what Conditions holder I will now use.
The first prototype will fit in the size not quite so I built new.
I cut me a few strips of a Plexiglas tube.
and because I was once again after I have the whole foot polished yet, satin finishing the cutting edges would have been possible.
So the whole thing looks from!
This is perfectly fit the concept and reflect the theme of glass again super.
PS: because it was something!
Thus, the compensating reservoir does not get scratched come in the Allen screws silicone plugs.
But I've cut several cartridges peaks and this filled with silicone.
They were then cured after 2 weeks well that you can pull out the silicone at a time.
I will then match cut to size to Allen.
