Good afternoon, gang. The midday update is running a little behind normal, but the weather was just too darn nice outside not to enjoy some of it. 🙂 I hope you get the chance to get outside because things are changing this week. It's been a well advertised pattern change and we are now just a few days away from it happening.
I don't have any real changes on the first system working across the state Monday night into Tuesday. Showers and thunderstorms and gusty winds will be along and ahead of this boundary.
Several days ago, the models were developing a wave of low pressure along this front as it slides into eastern Kentucky. The NAM is back to showing that happening, allowing for a period of light snow Tuesday night…
Some of the Short Range Ensemble Forecast members are also showing this…
Right now, I don't see much support for what the NAM is showing. I will still go with the potential for a few flakes across far eastern Kentucky as the precipitation shield moves away.
Cold northwesterly winds take control for Wednesday into Thursday. Some light snow and flurries can fly by the time Thursday rolls around.
From there, it's all about a potent upper level system diving in here from the northwest Friday and Saturday. The GFS continues to show this very well at 500mb…
The 6z run…
12z run…
That upper level setup would bring a heck of a clipper across our region, wrapping up as it moves through here..
6z GFS
12z GFS
I've said it many times in the past week, but the GFS has been pretty darn consistent with this system and the overall pattern. As shown on the above, it would be a snowmaker across much of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys.
Gusty winds combine with arctic air coming in behind that to produce wind chills that threaten to go below zero.
Saturday morning
Saturday Night
Additional clippers and arctic shots dive in here as we head into the following week, but I'm really trying to focus on everything going on for the week ahead. It's a busy one and gives us a lot to track. 🙂
I mentioned earlier how the European Model has been inconsistent with the upcoming week. The issues arise from a well known bias of the model in holding too much energy back in the southwestern US. It's doing just that with the initial trough ejecting from the southwest over the next few days.
Here's the European Model forecast at 500mb for this Wednesday…
Notice the closed upper low off the California coast. That forces the ridge overtop it to become more rounded, thus pushing the trough ahead of it too far east and keeping it a little more progressive.
Compare all that to the GFS forecast at the same exact time…
The differences are subtle, yet substantial for going forward. Look at how much weaker and farther east the system is in the southwestern part of the country. Then look at the ridge axis along the west coast and notice how it Is much sharper and less rounded than the European ridge. That sharp ridge allows energy to dig more as it dives through the base of the trough to the east.
Both solutions give us the potential for accumulating light snows later this week into the weekend, but the GFS allows for a deeper scenario.
Once the European sheds that bias, you will likely see changes in how it handles the rest of the week.
Folks, this is why I don't just regurgitate what models say. I try to look inside each model to see why they say what they say. Sometimes they tell me, sometimes they don't. I'm glad the Euro is a talker. 🙂
I will have another update later this evening. Have a good one and take care.

Pat played my Wreath of Barbs #12, 'cause he rocks my socks. Carrie put purple extensions in my hair last night, and one kept falling out. I had to hold it while I was dancing. They looked cool though, if they stayed in.
I talked to people's here and there, I tried to be more of a social butterfly lately. I am doing a good job of that though, I want to hang out with people that I normally don't hang out with so I have been making plans with people I don't see on a regular basis.
Tonight Pat is going to take me to MPC so I can get my computer going, then later I am going to go to Mantra with Kristi and Friday I have plans with Tyler (He's on vacation!)so it should all be good times.
Last night Joshy came home with us and we talked ALOT about the same thing everyone else has been asking me about. I am glad that I have him as a friend, he was one of my closest in high school and he still is. Everytime we get together, we talk about serious shit and the conversation always turns out pretty positive.
I have made the decision to move out of my house next summer, my lease is up in August of 2004, the first. I will have my car all fixed, I will have gotten a nice raise by that time AND I will be more financially secure. I want to move into a two bedroom just because I love to live in big, wide open spaces and I found the perfect aprtments downtown that I will be able to afford by myself next year.
They are the brand new Brewers Hill Apartments on the Milwaukee river not too far away from Brady street, they have two bedroom units for only $550.00 a month, Elec. and heat included. I also found a town house I liked down there for like $600.00 a month - not bad at all with everything included, I can swing that no problem.
I am so SICK of living with animals - honestly. I love them, but I don't think I can have anything that can be out of it's cage. I want big ass awesome looking aquariums in my house one day, but fish don't make your house smell like ass and they don't leave fur all over your clothes. When my birds die - that's it, I need to get rid of them because I don't really have time to take care of them, I always forget to clean the cage as often as I should, and I HATE doing it. I can't stand animal smells in my house, goddamn it, I that the litter box and the cat food smell - it's just the worst thing. I like to burn candles and oils and inscents (sp?) all the time and I like my house to STAY smelling good, it can't do that with that animal smell. And I mean, with all my nice furniture I plan to get soon, like a new glass kitchen table and new shelves and shit, I don't want scratches on it.
Carrie wants to move in with me when I leave, but I don't want the cat there, and she HAS to have it. I lover Carrie, but I don't want that kind of life style . And I think I am too obessive-compulsively clean for her sometimes, she likes to leave her cups in the bedroom, set them on my glass tables and shit - and they leave marks and no one cleans them up. We are just different in our living prefrances and decorating.
I want to buy all brand new stuff for my house when I move next summer. I plan to have all glass - pimped tables, I am going to try to find tables that look like steel/chrome or some kind of shiny metal and I want the tops to be glass. I like like slick chrome, kind of industrial look. And I don't want it to be cheap shit either, so I got time to save. Wrought iron is nice too, my bed is iron and so are all my bedroom night stands. I like metal alot...and glass. I have always been into interior design for homes, I want to experiment with track lighting and spot lighting for homes. I like it dark though, I barely use alot of light so my lighting will be very subdued and kind of sensual. And of course, my candles everywhere, good smelling ones.
I can't wait to do this :).
I did'nt take my car in yesterday because it needs a new battery in it, so I will go with Tyler Friday to get one and he will put it in, then we're gonna hang out later. And I just gott $100.00 in the mail from a rebate, so I think I will get buy that bike that I want. My step dad just gave me $50.00 too, so rock the cock with the cash 'yo. Heh heh

When people die at the same time in the real world, they must be judged to determine whether their souls should be reincarnated or sent to the void. In order to do this, arbiters are given their memories and observe their behavior as the guests play a game- without knowing yet that they are dead. Thinking that outcome of the game could result in their death, guests are put into tense situations in order to draw out the darkness of their souls so that they may be judged. Decim, one of these arbiters, faces many tough decisions when these dark truths become exposed.
Flawed Arbitration
Death Parade is fantastic for its complexity: judging a person's entire existence is not something easy or simple to do. As such, despite the fact that arbiters have memories and are neutral judges, they are unable to fully understand each person that comes through within the time that they have to judge them.
This is a problem exasperated by a simple fact: arbiters are not and never will be humans, and thus have no first-hand knowledge of life and death or even human emotions. As such, the judgement can be... wrong. It's this flaw that is one of the most philosophical concepts within the show: can it really be allowed for a flawed system to be the ultimate decider in such a critical decision?
What It Means to Judge
There's another inherent problem within the system of arbitration: what does it mean to judge? In putting humans through traumatic experiences in an attempt to draw out the darkness in their souls, the system forgets that as complicated as humans are, they are also simple.
"Death Parade explores human nature to a far deeper extent than most other shows I have seen."
Sometimes we act out of sudden anger or fear, but that doesn't mean that our behavior in that small moment constitutes for what we are. By questioning this, Death Parade explores human nature to a far deeper extent than most other shows I have seen, and not only does it in an engaging and multi-faceted way but also integrates it seamlessly into the conflicts.
High Stakes
All of the philosophical debates and intelligent themes would only be able to carry Death Parade so far if it wasn't for the conflicts themselves. When you place two humans in a 'life or death' scenario, especially one with as much importance as judging the deceased, it makes for an incredible opportunity for suspense.
This is an opportunity the writing capitalizes on frequently. Each arbitration is so engaging that I would not be able to pause it even if I really needed to. It's also worth noting that because of such a great ability to draw in viewers, Death Parade is a wonderful anime for people who don't normally watch anime. I'm able to make this claim speaking from experience because it has had a 100% success rate when I introduce anime and non-anime fans alike to it in my friend group, and every single one of them has liked and continued watching it after seeing the first episode.
Intriguing Characters
One thing Death Parade is surprisingly good at is developing characters. I say surprisingly in the sense that even characters that are only in the show to be judged for one episode are developed, but when you think about it it makes sense; in the drastic situations that each character is presented with, their development is pushed rapidly as their true nature is revealed. I felt a certain degree of attachment to almost all of the guests judged by Decim, and that attachment is definitely something that helped the suspense felt as I wondered what more would be revealed and what the final judgement would be.
The guests aren't the only characters that are developed though; the primary inhabitants of the judgement facilities, the arbiters, see some development as well. Throughout the show, more information about Decim and his assistant (whose name I won't use because spoilers) are revealed, and due to the outcomes of Decim's judgement decisions and the behavior they witness in their guests, they both grow immensely as characters.
An Overarching Plot
One of my primary concerns with Death Parade at the beginning of the season was a general concern over whether it would squander its premise's potential. This would be mostly likely caused by the writers either taking the wrong direction or being unsure of which direction to take, such as structuring the plot in a poor manner.
Thankfully, this was not a problem. Death Parade uses a combination of episodic stories with an overarching one as well to craft a tale that is both isolated to individual captivating stories per episode and is an all-encompassing story. While oftentimes individual episodes will focus on a specific set of two individuals that are being judged, there are episodes that focus on the arbiters outside of judgements and the character development during the judgements themselves helps push the story during the non-arbitration episodes. In the end, the result is a compelling narrative that also has great rewatchability.
Death Parade also has a wonderful soundtrack that is both technically impressive and utilized wonderfully within the show. Everything from suspenseful moments to calm discussions is aided by the music, and the added effect serves almost as a sort of cap for the show's overall quality, sealing the other positive contents with wonderful sounds.
The soundtrack itself isn't the only musical advantage the show has however; the opening and ending themes are both absolutely amazing yet accomplish different things. The opening theme, Flyers, is a significantly more upbeat tune than the show itself but serves as a good draw-in and an almost ironic beginning to each episode. The ending theme, however, has a tougher job as it follows the end of the suspenseful and often unhappy results of each episode. Fortunately, it pulls off a darker tone wonderfully and serves as an appropriate conclusion.
An Appropriate End
On the topic of conclusions, Death Parade managed to pull something off that only a couple of shows a season do for me: it ended in a way that I not only enjoyed but found completely appropriate for the series. I'm very picky about endings, even more so when I enjoy the rest of the show.
Without spoilers, Death Parade ended by concluding the overarching plot appropriately with a mix both of sadness and happiness while also remaining open in the potential interpretations it could have, much like the original concept, Death Billiards. It also managed to be open enough plot-wise to be both a satisfying finale and a potential opportunity for a second season. A series is rarely able to pull off all of the ideas I just described above, and although I'm certain that not everyone will agree with me since this can be an especially subjective area of opinion, it is very technically impressive writing. For me this was an ideal ending, and I would hazard to guess that I am not the only one who thinks so.
A Weaker Middle
If there was one great flaw in Death Parade, it would without a doubt be its middle section. The problem towards the middle is that while the show is able to mix an episodic and overarching story together very well when looked at as a whole, if you just examine the middle portion it actually stumbles slightly.
I know a couple of people who got behind watching it mid-season due to this, and the symptom of the writing problem is simple: for a couple of episodes in a row, the suspense that is so engaging otherwise isn't quite up to snuff. What I will say to potential viewers: if you have some trouble getting through episodes 6 and 7, I highly recommend sticking with it until episode 8, upon reaching it you will be unable to stop and will realize that it was all worth it.
Death Parade is an excellent show. It manages to mix intriguing philosophy with engaging characters and matching suspense and even makes an episodic-feeling overarching plot. Needless to say, not only is the concept of judging two deceased by putting them in tense situations interesting, it is also capitalized upon almost perfectly, with a small exception towards the middle of the series. I would highly recommend this show to anyone that doesn't have a problem with darker anime, as I think that there are very few anime fans who wouldn't find something to like.
I also would like to note something: this is the most positive review I have ever written for a show, I cannot recommend this series enough.
Death Parade is available for free and legal streaming on FUNimation.

I've been getting a lot of CNC jobs in lately and go through a lot of router bits – sometimes 6 in one day. Resetting the Z between those changes was getting annoying so I came up with this system to eliminate that. Now I can change a bit then hit "start" immediately and let the machine get back to work.
Here's a video I've made showing how it works. Those of you with auto tool-changers won't have any use for it but I'd appreciate feedback from those who have manual systems. Am I the only one that thinks this is fantastic or does everyone else think it looks handy?
Youtube: Manual Tool Change System for CNC
The tool board in the video is new. I just finished that up today. The actual gauges I've been using for a few months. Since mine are wood, they aren't precise to .001" but for my purposes, they work.

On-Demand Webinar
By now, we've all heard about how the "digital transformation" is disrupting every aspect of our business operations and customer engagements. A large component of this transformation is the application of advanced analytics, which can improve profitability, retention, and just about any other KPI. However, many companies have begun investing in analytics without also upgrading their decision rules. Meanwhile, other organizations haven't yet implemented optimization algorithms to help them identify the best solutions. Failure to do either might result in sophisticated predictions that don't meet—or even relate to—your business objectives. Thus, in order to fully realize the benefits of the digital transformation, you need to integrate all three elements within your decision platform—advanced analytics, rules, and optimization.
Please watch this on-demand webinar, hosted by FICO's Todd Rollin, Decision Management Suite Director, and featuring Dan Vesset, Group Vice President, Analytics and Information Management at IDC. IDC (International Data Corporation) is the premier global provider of market intelligence, advisory services, and events for the information technology, telecommunications, and consumer technology industries, and Dan will present their newest report on the digital transformation. He'll discuss the latest developments within the transformation—separating myth from reality—and focus on areas where businesses may be short-changing their decision outcomes, including the reasons why. FICO has had a similar front-row view of these trends, and Todd will share some of his observations as well. Finally, Both Dan and Todd will make recommendations for how to overcome these obstacles and highlight the true benefits of fully merging decision processes with advanced analytics. It promises to be fast-paced and full of fascinating findings!

Is it time to reconsider StarCraft: Ghost?
Looking at the state of gaming and what's coming out soon, I often wonder why StarCraft: Ghost never made it to market. Over the past few years it really seems like a stealth game set in the StarCraft setting would be a no-brainer. A high tech version of the Assassin's Creed games, perhaps. Or even something more akin to Dragon Age: Inquisition or the upcoming Mass Effect: Andromeda. Maybe even go full Fallout 4/Skyrim on it.
The StarCraft setting seems tailor made for this kind of play, and Nova would be a perfect protagonist. The Nova Covert Ops packs definitely felt like they were a step in this direction. So why haven't we gotten a game, or even a rumor of a game? I don't understand why we're in 2016 (soon to be 2017) and we're not skulking down corridors in a vast, immersive world, performing missions that would make the Hitman franchise look sad and primitive by comparison.
Who do we have to stealthily avoid — and then snipe from long distance before escaping — to get this game to exist?

About This Class
After you learned how to make homemade fresh pasta from scratch in my other Skillshare class, you may be wondering what to do next—you can make nearly anything from flat sheets of dough, so it's time to learn how to make stuffed pasta. In this class, we'll be learning how to make tortellini and ravioli, as well as two types of filling (cheese-based and mushroom-based).
(NOTE: This class is based on the assumption you've already finished the "Homemade Fresh Pasta from Scratch" class on Skillshare. It covers the basics of making dough and rolling it out. If you're stuck, check that video out and come back!)
You can do this with just a rolling pin, knife, and fork, but it'll be considerably tougher. If you choose to get some, I've ranked them in order of importance:
Basic Tools:
- Pasta Machine (I use one from Imperia)
- Pastry and Ravioli Cutter Wheel (if you don't have one, a pizza cutter will do).
Extra Helpful Tools:
- A Pastry Brush
- Ravioli Press
- Ravioli Stamp
- 4" Cookie Cutter (for Tortellini)
- Prep Bowls
- Spider Strainer
Both tracks featured in these videos are "Who Set the Dogs" and "The Vision" by YEYEY, via the Free Music Archive. Their work is awesome, and you should check them out here.

- It's best to put Monkey Aces or anything that has a large range because this track is large in size.
- The paths are confusing for some people.

Paid Preview of KITES :-
Slow love story with mix of action.
Hrithik Roshan is excellent but at times felt confused about emotions to show.
Barbara is hottest and acted quite competently, at times felt like overdoing "I am sexy latino" thing, but yet nothing you would found too unusual
The villain (Nick Brown) is average/boring. He just makes faces and shouts, no menace, in beginning he does well, then it deteriorates.
Kabir bedi and Kangana (cutie!!) are wasted.
Not much of a story, and english-spanish dialogues had neither smart one-liners, nor regal romantic quotes.
Chemistry between the leads was there, but yet, something was missing.
In the first half you may think the movie will pick up pace, but the thrill is absent and whatever scope there was for adrenaline has been wasted on excellent cinematography.
A very stylish movie, which fall shorts in other departments, except Hrithik Roshan who was good. But is it enough to carry this movie forward, I doubt.
Hrithik Roshan fans don't miss it, others can watch on TV.

2 Brünish somethings
2 related somethings written by Herbert Brün that I want to keep around.
First, from th program notes of his String Quartet No. 3:
In order to retard this development, this visitation of communicative familiarity, for as long as possible, I have attempted, in several of my compositions, to anticipate the gesture-forming tendencies within the composed structure and to reduce each of them ad absurdum by way of a non sequitur. I wanted, thereby, to rob trivial perception and partial recognition of the paralyzing effect that all too commonly is mistaken for understanding of music.
Th second, from My Words And Where I Want Them, #247:
Be it linguistic art, where the sentence injects meaningful intent into mere lexicographic vocables, thus turning these into words-
be it visual art, where the configuration injects meaningful intent into mere perceptible data, thus turning these into spaces, shapes, movements and colorpatterns-
be it audible art, where the structuring of time and distance injects meaningful intent into mere acoustical phenomena, thus turning these into musical events-
sooner or later both the profiteering interpreters and the consuming audience will perversely deny the composers' competence and, instead, declare the sentence to be meant by its words, the painting to be meant by its components, and the music to be meant by its sounds.
In order to retard this unfortunate and inevitable decay (too many humans are indistinguishable from laws of nature) for as long as possible, I have contrived to inhibit such gesture forming tendencies in most of my compositions by using many a non sequitur as a structural leap over new gaps avoiding old bridges.
The intent is motivated by my non-malicious desire to keep not only my music as alienated as possible from 'business as usual' and to have not only my composition say something to the interpreter and the listener for the longer time than it may take them to just repeat their habitual commonplaces to themselves.
The survival of composition depends on the composer's art: anticommunication.

[The Hwankyung Ilbo] Seoul announced the results of a survey on the public awareness of the sewage sector, which was conducted on 4,000 citizens.
The second public awareness survey, conducted since 2017, is designed to assess the performance of the ongoing sewage system project and to create priorities for providing quality services.
The survey was divided into online surveys for the entire Seoul city and one-on-one (face-to-face) interviews with local residents in areas with inconvenient sewage and water supply to closely grasp the local citizen's requirements.
According to the survey, satisfaction level of sewage service was over 60% (62.5% online and 65.7% face-to-face), which is slightly higher (3.9%) when compared to 2017 (58.6% online).
Among the nine items related to sewage, citizens experienced inconveniences in the following order: smell (28.6% online, 44.6% face-to-face), construction (13.0% online, 14.3% face-to-face), and cleaning of the septic tank (9.6% online and 13.1% face-to-face).
The citizens demanded that the government focus its management on enhancing the basic functions of sewage systems, such as maintenance of old facilities and flood control, in order to improve sewage services and develop sewage systems.
"This survey was a meaningful opportunity to reaffirm the public's desire for sewage," said an official from the Seoul Metropolitan Government. "We will continue to communicate with the public so that they can lead a decent life by carrying out the projects they need in a timely manner."

When first time landlords start out in property, there are two things that they fear the most:
1. The tenant will not pay the rent.
2. The tenant will damage the property.
Unfortunately, even experienced landlords find that this is the case, and very often the two come in tandem!
A new report has found that it takes an average of 118 days for court-appointed bailiffs to remove tenants from private landlords' properties after bringing a claim to court.
A total of 21,429 possession claims were brought to court last year, of which 6,260 ended in eviction by bailiff.
London is where it takes the longest to get a tenant removed from a property, and it does vary from region to region.
Landlords can see at a glance how their region fares here.
Whilst this does sound a significant number, it actually only equates to 0.5% of landlords making a possession claim in court, and only a third of those had to resort to using bailiffs.
There are three costs involved in all of this – financial, emotional, and time.
On the financial front, it costs between £1,500 to £2,000 in court and legal fees to evict a tenant.
Added to that is the length of time the tenant remains in the property without making rental payments.
118 days is approximately 4 months, so if we consider an average BTL mortgage payment of £500.00 per calendar month, then it could mean paying £3,000 in mortgage payments without receiving any rent, taking into account the 2 months of going into arrears before being able to issue a S21 notice.
So, it could amount to between £4K and £5K in costs to evict a tenant.
Then there is the emotional cost. It can be stressful for a landlord to have to evict a tenant and that stress can endure for many months. Many landlords do not consider the cost of emotional stress. It is hard to put a price on it, but stress can impact many other aspects of your life.
The final cost is time. The landlord will need to provide paperwork to the company undertaking the eviction and they may also need to attend the court hearing, as well as the actual eviction.
So, based on the above, its understandable that no landlord wants to have to go through the pain of evicting a tenant!
This is just one of the reasons Northwood's guaranteed rent service is becoming ever more popular.
We guarantee the rent, whether the property is tenanted or not, and if the tenant stops paying the rent. We also cover the costs of getting a delinquent tenant evicted, and handle all the paperwork.
When a landlord gets involved in BTL, they take on the risk of the tenant not paying the rent. However, our Guaranteed Rent removes that risk from the landlord completely. Clearly, we will not pay the full market rent value, but, when you consider six months of lost income, then our Guaranteed Rent service makes perfect sense on all fronts – financial, emotional, and time.
It is particularly suited to amateur landlords, long-distance landlords, and those landlords who have busy careers who simply want to "let and forget".
Some key findings from the report:
• During 2017, private landlords brought 21,439 possession claims to courts in England and Wales.
• 27% of claims didn't receive a court order. Many claims are rejected for failing to follow the correct eviction proceedings.
• The average insurance payment made for eviction support is £4,341.22, which includes legal expenses and lost rent.
• Landlords in London are more likely to have to evict a tenant, the figures show. Buy-to-let investors in the capital brought 195.3 claims per 100,000 households last year.
• Landlords in the South West of England were least likely to bring eviction proceedings to court, with 58.9 claims registered per 100,00 households, followed by the North East and West Midlands.
We really couldn't ask for a better advertisement for our Guaranteed Rent service! It's the choice of over 13,000 landlords and has been giving landlords complete peace of mind for over two decades.
Each Guaranteed Rent quote will be bespoke to your property and your area, so speak to your local Northwood office, especially if you don't want to be included in the next release of the statistics above!

Pope Francis said Saturday that the medical profession should be committed to defending the sacred value of human life and reject abortion as incompatible with medical practice.
In an address to a Vatican-sponsored conference titled "Yes to Life!" Francis warned against anti-life attitudes that lead to violence against the most vulnerable members of society: the unborn.
Unfortunately, in today's reigning culture, "fear and hostility towards disability often lead to the choice of abortion, treating it as a means of 'prevention,'" the pope said, and yet human life is always "sacred and inviolable."
Francis went on to condemn "the use of prenatal diagnosis for selective purposes," saying it stems from "an inhuman eugenic mentality, which keeps families from accepting, embracing, and loving their weakest children."
The pontiff also rejected arguments that being pro-life is a "Catholic" position that should not be imposed on a secular society.
Millie Weaver went to a pro-abortion event in Austin, Texas where she was accosted for asking questions to those that were in attendance. Millie joins Alex in-studio to give her analysis on the leftist insanity she encountered face to face.

Mini Square One DAP - Hidizs AP80 Review
Mini Square One DAP - Hidizs AP80 Review
HIDIZS AP80 is the latest ultraportable DAP from HIDIZS, a Company with a slightly controversial history about support, but which created a few really solid products, like their HIDIZS Sonata HD DAC Cable. With a fair price point of 115 USD, AP80 sure brings some competition to the ultraportable DAP scene.
HIDIZS is a rather interesting company, because on one hand, they appear for a few months, offering strong support in that time, then they change their internal company structure and it is a bit hard to get in touch with them, especially for the English speaking market, so I can't exactly recommend them entirely, without first letting you know that their current support has been good in general, but there are spots where they could be getting better, like getting a full time employee to take care of the English speaking market. My understanding so far has been that they have a stronger support in China, but this is not a first hand experience I can really attest to. Either way, so far I noticed that most people did eventually get their problem sorted out, but the waiting time is on the long side. They are clearly trying their best, and will most probably be getting better in the future though.
It should be noted that I have absolutely no affiliation with Hidizs, I am not receiving any incentive for this review or to sweeten things out. This review is not sponsored nor has been paid for by Hidizs or anyone else. I'd like to thank Hidizs for providing the sample for the review. The sample was provided along with Hidizs's request for an honest and unbiased review. This review reflects my personal experience with Hidizs AP80. Every opinion expressed is mine and I stand by it, the purpose of this review is to help those interested in Hidizs AP80 find their next music companion.
About me
First things first, let's get the packaging out of the way:
The packaging of AP80 is pretty typical in style for HIDIZS, but considering the rather affordable price of AP80, it is a great package, and they included a lot of extras with it, making me quite impressed. Not only you get the DAP, but you also get screen protectors, with one already applied from the factory, and you get good quality cables.
I can say that with a Type-C cable included in the package, I'm quite happy about what HIDIZIS did for 115 USD.
What to look in when purchasing an entry-level Ultraportable DAP
Technical Specifications
DAC: Sabre ESS 9218P
Rate: 32bit/384KHz
Gain control: Low/High
Frequency response: 20Hz — 40KHz
SNR: 119dB
Dynamic Range: >105dB
Channel Separation: 73dB
THD+noise: 0.003%
Output power: 80mW @ 32Ohms
USB DAC: up to 32bit|384KH
Build Quality/Aesthetics/UI/Firmware
Starting with the fun stuff, the build quality is pretty much excellent. There were some issues with some HIDIZS Products in the past, like DH1000 and AP200, but with AP80, like with their HD Sonata DAC, there are no build quality issues that I can see. In fact, AP80 is made just as good, if not even better than similar DAPs at a similar price point.
The case is high-quality CNC milled Aluminium, painted in a matte paint. With rather strong angles and corners, the whole device feels a bit square.
The display is very colorful and crisp, also much bigger than the display on Shanling M0, which I reviewed before, but you should keep in mind that AP80's display still isn't quite enough for my fingers in terms of size. There are physical buttons on the side of AP80, thing which I absolutely love, and think will surely come in handy for an ultraportable DAP, as you're most probably going to be using it portably, and blind navigation will surely come in handy.
HIDIZS AP80 is able to play both lossless files, and even DSD files, and although in the original version, which was a pre-production Beta, was a bit laggy, with the latest firmware installed, it is pretty snappy and works very well, even when playing DSD128 files.
With a 9218P DAC installed, AP80 is supported by a rather strong piece of hardware for an ultraportable.
The battery life is good for an ultra-portable, about 11 hours in a normal screen off run, compared to their quotation of 15 hours. The battery life decreases when you turn on the display though, although for such a small DAP, you're most probably going to be using the display just for browsing your music library.
Overall, the build quality is very good, especially for its price point, the aesthetics are striking, especially of you like a device with stronger angles and corners, and the firmware is very fluid and stable, there's no mistaking it, HIDIZS sorted out their firmware rather nicely with this one.
Sound Quality
The sound with all DSPs turned off is neutral-ish, slightly soft, slightly warm and a bit on the romantic side.
There is also the Mage Sound 8 Ball system, which is a Hiby design, implemented really well in AP80, and where the normal EQ in AP80 is quite mediocre, the 8-Ball thingy is pure magic, it can turn the sound of AP80, into a soft buttery experience, a clean and crisp one, or make it the delight of a basshead, just with the wiggle of a few smart sliders.
I'm most impressed by how well it responds to the 8-Ball Magic thingy, because it doesn't add distortions, it isn't just a typical DSP, this is a really well and responsibly implemented DSP.
The bass is on the dry and quick side, with interesting pacing and speed, although it is quite flat. The low extension is impressive, and AP80 can't be faulted for anything, unless you're a basshead or someone looking for a slightly more musical sound, situation in which you can engage the 8-Ball Magic thingy, and you'll be able to tailor the bass into both the character and the quantity your heart shall desire.
The midrange is very neutral and has a natural tonality. There's no coloration either way in the midrange, the soundstage feels natural, with a fair amount of extension in both depth and width, and remembering its 115 USD price point, I begin to think that it is actually impressive how clean and clear the midrange is for this price point.
The treble is on the softer and more bloomy side, with a nice amount of sparkle to it. Compared to older ultra-portables which used to be extremely smooth and which lacked proper sparkle, AP80 is quite good. The character of the treble appeals to musicality, and it is on the soft and wet side, which means that cymbals don't sound harsh, but instead have a nice natural ring to them. You usually won't need to alter the treble using the 8-Ball Mage thingy, unless you'll want a much softer or a more harsh treble experience, situation in which the well implemented DSP will be happy to deliver.
The dynamics and overall detail of AP80 are at least in line with its competition, if not even better, and AP80 surely doesn't feel like it needs any more dynamics, and I'm actually quite amazed by the amount of impact such a tiny and rather affordable device can have.
Portable Usage
In terms of portable usage, AP80 is a mixed bag. On one hand, it is small, which is good, it has a larger display than M0, which is also good, because I can now somewhat navigate it with less missed clicks, and I can also now see more of a song's name.
On the other hand, the battery life could have been better, especially since AP80 is supposed to be an ultra-portable that you take on a trip, and the rather hard corners make it much less easy to pocket than something like M0 which has a very rounded overall design.
The driving power of AP80 is enough for most IEMs, and for some portable headphones, but this is not exactly a DAP to drive LCD-2 with, so keeping it to IEMs is the best way to use AP80 for portablity.
Select Pairings
For the pairings part, I selected a IEMs that paired really well with AP80, both in terms of sound, and in terms of price balance. For today, Dunu Falcon-C, FiiO F9Pro, and Periodic Audio Titanium will be the pairs for HIDIZS AP80.
Hidizs AP80 + Dunu Falcon-C - Dunu Falcon-C is one IEM that I always liked as it is, no EQ needed, and this is also the case when pairing it with AP80. The V-Shaped signature, with a rather large soundstage is complimented well by AP80, and even more, it manages to give Falcon-C a really good dynamic range, along with a nice amount of impact, and with a fair balance between the price of the two, I'm not having any issues in recommending this pairing.
Hidizs AP80 + FiiO F9Pro - FiiO F9Pro and their very neutral tuning have always been a top choice for me in this price range, due to their rather excellent comfort. Their rather neutral tuning is complimented nicely by the more musical and slightly soft default treble of AP80, but if you feel like you'd increase the bass on F9Pro a bit, then you can always do that with AP80, and its Magic Ball DSP feature.
Hidizs AP80 + Periodic Audio Titanium - Periodic Audio Titanium and their rather smooth and thick sound are complimented well by AP80 in its default state, as it is pretty neutral, so the sound won't get too thick nor too lush. On the other hand, if that was your desire, the 8-Ball Magic DSP effect on AP80 can totally do that. The good dynamics on AP80 are also a good pair with Titanium from Periodic Audio, and their good treble extension, and good impact.
For the comparisons part of this review, the main enemies of AP80 are Shanling M0 (110 USD), FiiO M6 (150 USD), and FiiO M3K (70 USD)
Hidizs AP80 vs FiiO M3K - Starting with a DAP that is considerably less expensive than AP80, FiiO M3K is about 35% less expensive than AP80, but it provides many of the features that AP80 can provide. In terms of build quality, there is a large difference, because M3K relies on a touch slider, instead of a full touchscreen like AP80. AP80 is more square and cubic, than M3K, which is longer and thinner. The weight is similar between the two, but the battery life is better on M3K. The sound is colder and more neutral on M3K, so it compliments and pairs better with really thick and really smooth IEMs, where AP80 is more configurable due to its 8-Ball Magic DSP feature.
Hidizs AP80 vs Shanling M0 - Shanling M0 is pretty much at the same price point as AP80, and it is probably its most direct competitor in every possible way. Both DAPs charge fast, and both have similar battery lives, but when it comes to their design and build quality both are made well. This being said, AP80 is clearly more pointy in the corners, where M0 is more rounded and is easier to carry in a pocket. On the other hand, AP80 has a larger display so it is considerably easier to navigate for my hands. Another thing to take into account is that AP80 is more versatile and more customisable in terms of sound, but the overall warranty support is better with Shanling (as it is with FiiO BTW). Overall, you should make the choice based on whether you're going to use the EQ on AP80, and on whether you like the design and ergonomics of AP80 or M0 more. The sound of Shanling M0 is quite similar to AP80, if anything AP80 has a touch better dynamics and more clarity, but M0 tends to be a touch more impactful. They are very similar though.
Hidizs AP80 vs FiiO M6 - FiiO M6 is quite the funny one, because it is a bit more expensive than AP80, about 30 % more expensive, but M6 is quite a bit more capable when it comes to having support for Tidal, which already creates a wide distance between the two. If you need streaming, M6 is one of the best ultraportables there are for it. On the other hand, if you only use a microSD card with music, then AP80 can make up by having the 8-Ball Magic DSP implemented really well. FiiO M6 is far more ergonomic though, and you should keep that in mind, M6 has a much larger display, and I can easily navigate M6 and happily use it as a transport, where AP80 is still a bit small for my hands. On the other hand, if you're looking for something smaller, yet with excellent dynamics and clarity, then AP80 makes an excellent choice. FiiO M6 is colder and more analytical, but also more vivid and more engaging, where AP80 has more dynamics and has a softer and musicall overall treble.
Value and Conclusion
When talking about the value of HIDIZS AP80, you need to take into account that there still are other products that are interesting at this price point, but they are all pretty good values for their packages, a ~100 Player with good sound and battery life is always welcome, and AP80 is also a really nice overall deal.
With an excellent build quality, a colorful display, and with good firmware support, AP80 is actually really easy to recommend and to play with, to listen to music with, and it makes a nice companion for any music lover.
The sound is very neutral in its default configuration, but Hidizs, or rather Hiby have powered up AP80 with the 8-Ball Magic thingy which can tailor the sound of AP80 in any direction your heart desires, and this is not only on paper, but it actually works really well in practice, leading to a really versatile little DAP.
At the end of the day, if you're looking for an ultraportable at 115 USD, and if you like the shape, ergonomics and design of AP80 (If you don't mind the corners), if you like to tinker with EQ settings, and if you want something with really nice dynamics, you should totally consider Hidizs AP80.
Full Playlist used for this review
While we listened to considerably more songs than those named in this playlist, those are excellent for identifying certain aspects of the sound, like PRaT, Texturization, Detail, Resolution, Dynamics, Impact, and overall tonality. We recommend trying most of the songs from this playlist, especially if you're searching for new most, most of them being rather catchy.

At SoundSkills we believe that early intervention is critical. Not only does it enable early treatment of the hearing disorder, it helps the child to start learning more effectively as soon as possible. If children are not diagnosed and treated until after they have been at school for a number of years their impaired ability to hear and learn has led to them falling further and further behind.
Most APD tests can be administered from age 6. A number of assessments can be carried out at age 5. And more limited assessment can be carried out on even younger children. The youngest age at which we assess for APD is 3 1/2 years. Different tests and different norms are used according to age.
We make it clear that below age 6 we can only make a provisional diagnosis or a diagnosis of "at risk for APD", with the necessity to follow up when the child is older. If the child does not perform well on tests it is important to observe whether there might be another explanation for the poor performance. It is also important to consider the test results in the broader context of observations by parents, teachers and other professionals. Usually children referred to us with suspicion of APD at ages 3 to 5 have quite clear and obvious hearing problems.
Fortunately treatments for APD are not harmful and in fact are usually generally beneficial to any child. Therefore a provisional diagnosis does not prevent a trial of intervention. We have seen good responses to intervention on the very youngest of our clients.

Last Saturday, to get ourselves in the mood to see a play about John Wayne Gacy, my friend Randall and I paid a visit to the site of Gacy's northwest-suburban home, where he buried many of the 33 young men and boys he tortured and killed in the 70s.
Gacy's old neighborhood, out by O'Hare in Norwood Park Township, is full of modest working-class houses set off by the odd castle. A vacant ranch house stands on the remains of Gacy's razed bungalow, apparently built by someone who could live with the site's freaky past.
I knew Gacy was the creepy clown with the crawl space and a penchant for brutal gay sex, but that was about it. I didn't know about the pedophilia. I didn't know that he stuffed his victims' underwear or socks into their mouths to silence their screaming as he tortured, raped, and strangled them. Randall, who's done quite a bit of research into famous serial killers, filled me in on some of those tidbits and more. Randall has a theory about Gacy: that he was more spider than human. With a chilling efficiency he lured victim after victim to his lair, where he didn't just kill them but first sucked them dry. He wasn't mean; killing was simply his nature. I'm not sure what I think of that theory, but thinking about it makes me more than a little scared of the human race. Not excluding Randall.
We went there to be creeped out, like from ghost stories around a campfire, but being there sent me over my fear threshold. One step onto the wet, mushy ground of Gacy's old backyard and I was paralyzed. I imagined I was walking on bodies that were never found, my feet sinking into viscera.
Even the driveway felt ominous. As soon as I forced myself to walk the length of it I regretted it. I saw a couple forlorn trees, a shovel leaned against the back of the house, a window slightly ajar. I couldn't look inside very long for fear of what might look back at me.
A delirious terror took control of my brain. I imagined some pervert Gacy fanatic waiting for idiots like us to come along so he could do heinous things to us. I imagined the yard was loaded with traps, that my next step would land me in a lasso that would tighten around my ankle and next thing I knew I'd be hanging upside down by one leg from a tree.
Meanwhile Randall was bounding through the yard like a possessed archaeologist, armed with a spoon from my kitchen and a small plastic MAC bag from my eyeliner purchase the day before. "Come back!" I whimpered. "I'm scared!"
He crouched in front of some low shrubbery and dipped the spoon into the earth. Finally my refusal to be outdone overcame my inner chicken. "Wait for me!" I hissed, running over to him.
"Three scoops," he muttered. "Like Raisin Bran."
Randall was starting to scare me more than the evil vibes from the place, but scariest of all was the thought of being alone, so I grabbed his arm. Spaced-out on fear, I didn't notice that he was scanning our surroundings intently, searching for something. When I snapped out of it I was being jerked across the yard.
"Feel it out, feel it out, feel it out," Randall chanted under his breath, pacing the lawn. Suddenly he dropped to the ground. "Right here!" he exclaimed, and stooped to jab the spoon into the grass.
Nothing matters, nothing matters, nothing matters, I told myself. I took a deep breath and forced myself to study the yard.
"Over there!" I whispered, pointing to a circular patch of dirt near the garage. I yanked the spoon out of Randall's hand and deposited our third soil sample into the bag.
Nothing matters, nothing matters, I repeated in my head as we walked back to the car, both shaking.
At midnight we went to No Exit, a cafe and performance space in Rogers Park, for J. Scott's play 33: A Question of Doubt, which presents Gacy as an innocent victim framed by the FBI. Barrette Schugart played the lead, wearing a clown suit and greasepaint. She began with a soliloquy that floated between third and first person, playing the narrator and the protagonist. The rest of the five-person cast played multiple roles throughout, changing costumes while sitting in the audience or even onstage.
The play makes Gacy out to be a regular joe, the guy at the market, the pal who paid the check at the pub. "But who would listen to a a man draped in a prison jumpsuit?" Schugart laments. "Milieu and interpretation often mislead identification."
The action starts with Gacy as a young lad fishing with his father in Wisconsin, both sitting with their backs to the audience. "Gimme one of them worms, you faggot," the father says, then prattles on, the stereotypical homophobic alcoholic, calling his son "chickenshit," "nancy," "pussy," and so on because he likes Superman and is afraid of worms.
The father leaves to take a leak and we quickly see how his cruelty has transferred: "I'll put you on a fuckin' hook," Junior says angrily to no one. He leans back in his chair, legs splayed, and daydreams aloud about having a hard body, lifting weights, learning karate, getting scars, and growing a beard, his arm pumping ever more fervently, the squeaks of the chair gradually growing louder. "I'm gonna come buckets till I bleed," he announces at the denouement of his lakeside jerk-off. "I hate you, daddy!"
The play, which ended its run last weekend but will be remounted in the near future, is full of cheap tricks and bad-taste punch lines. I couldn't follow the most important part of the plot, where a detective devises some cockamamy scheme to plant dead bodies in Gacy's home, rationalizing it by somehow drawing clues from the text on the back of a Rolling Rock bottle. But the scenes that use events from Gacy's life not to educate but to shock--such as a prison cell visit from GG Allin in which Allin, played by Scott himself, apparently shoots something up his arm after physically attacking the most vulnerable-looking people in the audience--were well worth the confusing lulls in the half-baked dialogue.
It was a terrible play, but I was totally entertained. Gacy's story is so undeniably horrible that attempting to memorialize it respectfully would actually be worse than making light of it. Theorizing Gacy's innocence is less offensive than just plain ridiculous. Obviously Gacy was guilty. But what kind of sicko would want to see an honest portrayal of what he did?

How to: Create an Effective Kaizen Event
As a business, it's common to hear three-word mantras like "Sell, Sell, Sell!" or "Location, Location, Location!" But what about the quality of your team? Shouldn't their production and output also be taken into account?
That's why here at CMTC, we put "location" and "selling" to the side, and hone in on what's truly significant: improvment, improvement, improvement. Whether it's individual performance or company growth, improvement is at the cornerstone of every thriving business.

5 Lean Strategies for Your Sales & Marketing Teams
The business philosophy of lean manufacturing is all about optimizing a company's workflow in order to maximize productivity. In the same way losing weight is all about exercising and cutting calorie intake, lean manufacturing focuses on reducing waste and innovating the way your team works.
Now, since the lean system is geared more towards hardcore production, it's important to note that the system truly has no bounds. It can be applied to both your sales and marketing efforts.
The only "catch" lies in how your company is structured and your team's willingness to be empowered. A well-established, top-down leadership is crucial to rearrange the work patten to which your team is accustomed. Having a manager that is well-respected, energetic and eager to apply a lean approach to business is the perfect combination that will make employees less apprehensive and more interested.
In the spirit of lean production, these managers can facilitate brainstorming sessions that can lead to game-changing suggestions and solutions. The more open a discussion becomes, the wider the window of opportunity grows.

Play Africa Goes Wild Slot Machine Free
Are you ready for a trip to Africa? The continent has always been in the interest of western powers for various reasons. It's lands were once part of the massive empires of Alexander and later, Rome, their teachings and culture are unique, and some are forever lost and changed due to Islamic invasions that eradicated their former beliefs and systems of rule.
So join us on a safari in Leander Games' latest release, Africa Goes Wild, in which the various animals turn Wild to help you land the wins you need, as well as the presence of the well known and always welcome free spins. The offered symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K and A, a cheetah, a buffalo, a rhino, an elephant and a lion – all proud animals that inhabit the African savannah. The slot's logo is used as the Wild, while a white lion statue is used as a Scatter.
Leander Games isn't nearly as widespread of a name as it should be. The studio was founded in 2008 with the interest of being an independent company with a goal to deliver innovative game content to market faster than current solutions.
The company uses its own LeGa Remote Gaming Service as a back-end for all their games, which is accredited and licensed by UK Gambling Commission and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and support over 30 languages and currencies. It also comes with their own range of titles, as the company does it best to maintain innovation in the field while creating top quality art and balanced mathematics to ensure players receive a fun and enjoyable experience.
How to Play it
The title is played on a 5×4 playing field with 1024 ways to win – forgoing regular paylines in favour of adjacent wins. Any time three symbols complete a winning combination left to right, they award a win. Players can wager between $0.40 up to $20 per spin, which is great for casual gamblers, but high rollers may not be satisfied with a limit of $20 per spin.
Africa Goes Wild does offer an Autoplay option, but it only allows you to set how many spins you want it to go through – you can't set any loss limits or win thresholds ahead of time. The title also has a mobile version, although there aren't any gameplay changes between them – simply different user interfaces.
While the graphics aren't bad, we also aren't particularly impressed by them either. The animals look quite cool, in our opinion, except the lion, who kind of looks like he has a bit of a drinking problem – bit problematic, since they put him to be the star of the show. The backdrop of a quiet, sparse savannah is a nice touch, and you occasionally get to see some smoke billowing or a buffalo wandering in the background.

Special Features
The first bonus is activated entirely at random. One of the animal symbols is chosen at random and turned into a golden Wild – and for the duration of that one spin, all of those animals become golden Wild, and reward the same prize as the top paying lion symbol.
The second bonus is the free spins feature, activated when three white lion statues appear on the first, third and fifth reel, which rewards ten free spins. If you only manage to secure two, an animal stampede will try to land the third Scatter in place to help make the bonus happen.
Once the free spins are active, all Wilds gain a 2x multiplier, and a golden lion symbol can appear on the fifth reel. Collect enough of them, and it can reward extra free spins, multipliers or it can even activate the first bonus feature we mentioned during the free spins – all you have to do is to slowly fill the golden lion meter on top of the reels.
Maximum Payouts
After playing for a while, it's clear that the game is more inclined towards making you get a lot of wins compared to lining up one giant win – which also works out with our desire to want to keep the free spins bonus going for as long as humanly possible. We weren't able to confirm the volatility of the game anywhere online. The title has an RTP of 96.04%, which is above average for video slots.
Africa Goes Wild didn't woo us with its graphics, but its gameplay was different enough that we felt it warranted trying out. We can't really sing its praises and say it's a must play – but if you're looking for something new to try, feel free to give it a spin or two and see if you enjoy it.

In Reply to: on GRU: Did Russians Use Blog To Aid Iraq posted by Andreas from dtm2-t8-2.mcbone.net (22.214.171.124) on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 at 2:00AM :
: It's quite a notion: Russian spooks blogging concrete advice to Iraq. It's a notion that Strafor's Matthew Baker termed "nonsense." He said, "A website is not the way to get information to the Iraqis; a phone or radio is better."
: Baker sees it, rather, as an expression of an internecine struggle among various Russian military and espionage interests wrestling over whether to align more closely with the U.S. or seek a counterweight axis with Germany and France. He said, "They're not putting it up for amusement or profit, but for reasons to do with Russian politics." He added, "It's an agit-prop campaign by those who argue that sticking close to the U.S. is wrong."
: Denisov, who is also CEO of the site's server, Moscow-based JERA Systems, scoffed at the notion that his project is an attempt to aid the Iraqis. He said, "There are other means to transfer information with less attention, faster and more clandestine." He added, given the editing process, "It would be much quicker to send encrypted e-mail. So it's kind of unbelievable that it's a conspiracy theory - it's not realistic."
xxx I think these guys are right.
: His statement doesn't address the fact that some "intel updates" predicted troop movements a day or more in advance.
xxx Yeah, well when "breaking news" about war hits us here in the States, I've heard that it's a general rule of thumb to guess that the "breaking news" is actually a couple of days old.

{Create} A Clean Basement
12 comments:
Haha you know exactly what i've been up to - organizational chaos! I'm still in awe of your 45 frames. You should do a giveaway on the blog to get rid of a few... ooooor just give them directly to me =) hehe kidding! <3ReplyDelete
anywho -- How amazing is it to know where everything is!? I bet you're so stoked! =) and so lucky to have a basement!!!
Jenn @ Peas & Crayons
First, it's been over two years. You're definitely not newly weds anymore ;)ReplyDelete
Second, I have the opposite problem... I collect pictures/posters that desperately need framing. And keep forgetting to frame them. Sigh.
Wow, that was quite a task..good job!ReplyDelete
This is my favorite line ---> "can't even believe I'm posting this on the internet."ReplyDelete
I hear you on that one. I'm not gutsy enough to post a true "before," I don't think...but then look at the "after" you've got going! pretty impressive.
I also like that you're totally diving in...especially since I'm still in the "Read a lot of organizing stuff online and in magazines" part - not the actual doing part. Arg. Hopefully I can get a little jump start on things this weekend.
Nice progress!
That was quite the project!! I am trying to muddle my way through getting my teenytiny office in order and I gave myself a whole month. I also am in the same boat as Becky in that lots of things to be framed, not enough frames.ReplyDelete
Great job on the decluttering! I know that's got to feel good.ReplyDelete
oh my goodness, GOOD WORK Jenn!ReplyDelete
empowering is right!
now I seriously want to get rid of some stuff of my own!
wow, it's always the way, the more space you have the more chance it'll get filled with clutter. we've had the same thing happen, though on a much smaller condo-kinda scale. melding your things together is fun but also a bit tough to know how to create a space for it all. from every reno i've seen on your blog, you've mastered this skill superbly!ReplyDelete
i hadn't a doubt you'd have it spic and spanned up no time and boy was i right as i scrolled down to see the results. marvelous stuff Jenn, doesn't it feel so good when you accomplish a task this large?! I always go back like 20 times just to look at it again and again. 45 fames, wow, can't wait to see what you come up with for those! ♥
I have a few closets that look eerily like your basement...we rent and our basement is shared space with our neighbors, so I try to keep it a little less messy down there, hence the cluttered closets...this post was just what I needed to get my behind in gear and get cleaning for the new year. Thanks for the inspiration!ReplyDelete
Hi Jenn,ReplyDelete
Just found your blog. Wow, looks so much better! you are inspiring me. But honestly, my basement is twice as scary, so it will probably take me twice as long to clean it! ;)
I really need to step away from the computer and do this. Every room needs it.ReplyDelete
There could be a lot of storage and fun in the basement if it is taken care of nicely.The damp and the dirt has to be cleaned carefully.The pipes checked for leaks and cleared of any such mess. Organizing the storage also makes the area tidy.ReplyDelete
