Spoiler Warning for the Season 4 Premiere of "Fear the Walking Dead," as well as all previous episodes of the series. Spoilers from "The Walking Dead" will also be discussed.
Worlds have officially collided as "The Walking Dead" crosses over with "Fear the Walking Dead" in a historical event that will redefine the franchise forever. After two decent seasons and one brilliant season, AMC's zombie spinoff series has reinvented itself with a new batch of characters and a fresh location. There are a handful of issues, mostly in regards to the underutilization of original characters in this premiere. Still, this episode serves as a transition to the show's new era, one that looks to be extremely promising.
In order to recap the events of the episode in coherent fashion, events will be discussed in chronological order. This episode is mostly centered around the character of Morgan Jones (Lennie James), a staple in "The Walking Dead" since the Pilot. Following the success of Alexandria, the Hilltop and the Kingdom in All Out War, Morgan relocates to the Heaps to spend his time alone as seen in the Season 8 Finale. A significant amount of time has passed since the end of the war, as noted by the growth of crops. Jesus (Tom Payne) pays a visit to Morgan to try to convince him to return to the rest of the communities, noting that the reason Morgan fought in the war was because he cares about people. Sometime later, Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) stops by and asks Morgan to rejoin her at the Kingdom, letting him know that he belongs with people that care about him; there is a lot of shared history between these two characters, so it makes perfect sense that Carol would try to convince him to come back. Lastly, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) arrives at the Heaps and there is a sentimental conversation about their past, tracing back to the very start of the apocalypse; had Morgan not saved Rick, it's very likely that many of the key characters of "The Walking Dead" would have never found one another. In a bit of dialogue that will send chills down your spine, Rick tells Morgan that he will wind up with people, one way or another. It is entirely possible that this will be the final conversation between these two long-time friends as Morgan heads out on a new journey.
Morgan is no stranger to traversing long distances; between Seasons 3 and 5 of "The Walking Dead," he traveled from Atlanta to Alexandria to meet back up with Rick. In this premiere, Morgan departs from the Heaps and travels west, stopping from time to time and hitching a ride in the occasional vehicle. The iconic musical score that fans might recognize from Season 6's "Here's Not Here" plays during Morgan's departure. After walking and driving for thousands of miles, Morgan ends up crossing into Texas. The opening scene shows a man named John Dorie (Garret Dillahunt), spelled differently than "the fish" as he puts it (this is confirmation that Pixar's "Finding Nemo" exists in the "TWD" Universe); John sits at a campfire next to his truck, but is startled when he hears rustling in the forest. He speaks to the noise and explains that he hasn't talked to anyone in nearly a year, but that he is also searching for a woman named Laura who has a pistol that is identical to his. An infected emerges from the woods, prompting John to fire his own pistol, revealing Morgan behind it. John invites Morgan to join him next to the campfire, but there is some hesitation; Morgan has just traveled a huge distance and he ultimately decides to take John's offer of shelter in his truck for the night. There is a lot of humor that the character of John exudes and he immediately establishes himself as an interesting addition to the series.
In the middle of the night, while John is sleeping, Morgan sneaks away from the truck and discovers a seemingly abandoned campsite nearby. While inspecting it, he is knocked out by a man later revealed to be named Leland (Clint James), who leads a group of bandits. Leland holds Morgan at gunpoint, but John arrives and shoots the gun out of his hand; bandits surround John and force him to give up his weapon as he apologizes for firing a shot. Suddenly, a massive SWAT truck rolls up and a woman named Althea (Maggie Grace) speaks with Leland about his prisoners, offering to trade supplies for them; Leland shoots it down, but she pulls a lever, revealing machine guns on the side of her truck. She ultimately rescues Morgan and John, driving them away from the scene and letting them know that there is something they can do to repay her for getting them out of that sticky situation. Althea pulls her truck over and shows off a video camera, revealing herself to be a journalist working on a story; she tells John and Morgan that she will interview them both. This is quite reminiscent of Deanna Monroe (Tovah Feldshuh) when she interviewed Rick's group after their arrival in Alexandria. In the morning, Althea records John's story and learns that he is searching for Laura. Morgan is not looking to share any of his personal history and disregards Althea's claim that he owes her. If you've been following Morgan's journey in the original series, you will understand exactly why he has no interest in talking about what he went through.
An old-west showdown of sorts erupts as Leland's group catches up to the trio, but Morgan and John fight back immediately using their signature weapons. Leland demands that Althea hand over the keys to her truck, but she also fights back and flings her keys into a nearby bush. With a sniper on the roof of a trailer, John takes cover behind the door of another trailer, unleashing a collection of gnarly infected. It's chaos as Morgan makes his way onto the roofs of the trailers to take down the sniper while Leland searches for the keys, getting bit on the hand by a rattlesnake in the process. Morgan is shot in the leg by the sniper, but still manages to put up a fight against him; they end up crashing through the roof of the trailer into a trapped group of infected. The sniper is devoured as Morgan searches for an exit, running into a turned soldier equipped with grenades; he uses the grenade to blow up the trailer while he takes cover in a bathtub. Outside, Althea tries to enter her truck, but is knocked to the ground by Leland, who is shot by John and flung into the hands of infected. In quite possibly the most badass moment of the episode, Althea uses her SWAT machine gun rig to mow down all of the infected as Morgan and John take cover by hiding under the bodies; it's a bit of a clunky moment within an overall excellent action sequence. The SWAT truck is probably the best vehicle to travel in; who on Earth would want to go up against that type of an arsenal?
This Season Premiere really allows Morgan to open up about his past in a way that viewers can connect with. While driving, the trio discuss what they call infected: John calls them the "passed," Althea calls them the "dead" and Morgan refers to them as "walkers," a term he coined at the very beginning of the original series. Morgan decides to allow Althea to interview him and they stop on the side of the road. Althea asks where Morgan comes from, to which he responds by explaining how he started off in Atlanta and ended up in Virginia. She asks if he comes from a settlement in Virginia, allowing him namedrop Alexandria and the Kingdom, even mentioning a king and his pet tiger; Althea is amused by this minor, but rewarding link between the two series. Morgan isn't exactly keen on answering a question about why he left and decides to leave Althea and John behind; he chillingly states "I lose people and then I lose myself," a single line of dialogue that encapsulates Morgan Jones as a character. While walking down the road, Morgan is startled by two walkers that manage to knock him to the ground; while he is injured, it is rather odd to see Morgan struggle so much against a couple of walkers. To his surprise, John steps in and saves him, even assisting Morgan in taking down a walker further down the road; it is revealed that this particular walker is a man that Morgan tried to help earlier in the episode. One of the most significant takeaways of this episode is that John is an incredibly loyal friend and is definitely someone that can be trusted.
The episode wraps up as Morgan rejoins John and Althea in the SWAT truck; Morgan states that he is only going to tag along with them until his injury heals, but it seems like Morgan doesn't even believe that himself. The trio decide to search the Texas landscape for Laura, something that John knows is crazy, but he can't give up on her. Althea notices a young girl in the middle of the road and tells John and Morgan to arm up, but they both state that they do not kill; this is a rather quick turnaround for Morgan, but he did having a pretty compelling discussion about peace with Jesus before departing. Althea exits the truck with John and asks Morgan to get their first aid kit after the young woman collapses to the ground. The young woman fearfully tells Althea that bad people are in the area before revealing herself to be Alicia Clark. Suddenly, Victor Strand, Luciana Galvez and Nick Clark emerge from bushes and order the trio to drop their weapons as Alicia holds a metal weapon on Althea's throat. The original characters that viewers have been following since the beginning of the series now seem to be the enemy; they are raggedy and look like they haven't eaten or slept in weeks. The "Fear" story has undergone a massive time jump of roughly a year and a half; the Season 3 Finale ended with the fates of these characters being left unknown after the destruction of the Gonzalez Dam. How did they survive? How did they end up in Texas? What has happened to them since we last saw them? How did Luciana rejoin the group? Where is Madison? Where is Daniel? These are just a few of the many questions that will hopefully be answered this season.
"What's Your Story?" is an excellent jumping point for the character of Morgan into the "Fear the Walking Dead" narrative. His evolution on the original series has made him one of the most fascinating characters so it will be interesting to see how he interacts with this crew. Obviously, this episode needed to bridge the gap between the two shows, but it would have been far more rewarding to see the original characters more than just in the final few seconds. Still, their reveal is definitely a shocker and serves to set up the mystery of how they wound up in such poor shape. The introductions of John and Althea immediately establish them as refreshing and bold characters in the franchise and both Garret Dillahunt and Maggie Grace prove themselves to be perfect fits in the show's universe. The tone and atmosphere of this premiere makes the series feel totally different than ever before; it's hard to think that this is the same show as the first three seasons, especially the Pilot when Alicia was just a regular high school student trying to get through the struggles of a teenager. Next week's episode looks to show the original characters in a different light, possibly before they ended up as highway robbers. "Fear the Walking Dead" is changing, but the roots of the series are still there as the series breaks new ground and makes "TWD" history.
Be sure to tune into "Fear the Walking Dead" next Sunday at 9 p.m. on AMC. Check back to the Niner Times for continuing coverage of "The Walking Dead" franchise, including reviews of new episodes each week.

N.E.D., an acclaimed rock-band of six surgeons, will play at Inspire Hope 2016, a red carpet fundraiser for the Flathead Cancer Aid Services.
"The highlight of the night will be the N.E.D.'s performance" Ming Lovejoy, event coordinator, said. "It's one that people are greatly anticipating."
N.E.D., or No Evidence of Disease, aims to heal not only through surgery, but also through the art of music, according to the group. One of the band's guitarist, William Winter, M.D., says that there is art in medicine, the way it is in surgery; art is in caring for a cancer patient, they same way it is in music.
The band's songs are meant to empower cancer patients and offer a community of support. The band has received national acclaim by media outlets such as Forbes, The Washington Post, and The New York Times.
"The occasion will entertain and delight with the events we have in store," Lovejoy said. With a garden patio reception, an aerial show, and live music throughout the night, Inspire Hope 2016 will raise awareness and money for the Flathead Cancer Aid Services, according to Lovejoy.
"We aim to create unique events that show the impact of health issues as well as galvanize the community and local businesses involvement," Lovejoy said. "We're deeply excited to the Flathead Cancer Aid Services."
The organization aids with the financial impact on cancer patients, according to Lovejoy.
"It helps patients pay their rent or their mortgage – the bills that get overlooked when cancer is in the picture," Lovejoy said. "People don't get cancer, families do."
All proceeds of the fundraiser will go to the Flathead Cancer Aid Services. Tickets for Inspire Hope 2016 include dinner, one drink ticket, and access to all of the night's entertainment.
Tickets are $50 or $100 for premier seating during N.E.D.'s concert. Tickets can be purchased through Ming Lovejoy, who can be reached at 406-212-2927. Inspire Hope 2016 will be hosted at the O'Shaughnessy on July 2 at 5:30 p.m.

I've been fortunate enough to write about art more or less continuously since 2010 when Alton Frabetti offered me my first assignment for AEQAI. After a few false starts -and with a lot of help an encouragement from Franklin Einspruch- I've had works published in City Beat, Art Critical, Abstract Critical and ART PAPERS.
I joined the pool of regular contributors to Chicago's New City in 2013 and have been writing for them ever since. I want to thank Jason Foumberg and Matt Morris for being both good friends and good editors.
Below is an archive of everything I have published prior to 2015. In the process of building a new website, one of the things I dreaded most was the thought of transferring four years worth of writing into a new platform. I decided that links would be enough. After all, its not like anyone reads this stuff.

This is a big switch — from Telugu cinema to Hindi. A 'big' leap at that one. If buzz in Mumbai is to be believed, Telugu film director Puri Jaganath will soon to directing none other than the Shahenshah of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan.
The grapevine suggests that the director was in Mumbai recently to meet Big B. Tentatively titled Buddha (old man) this film will be Puri's launchpad in Hindi cinema. RGV is said to be the creative producer while Madhu Mantena will take over the reins of production. And rumours also say that Bachchan senior has agreed to be part of the project.
Puri on the other hand is now busy scripting the film which is expected to go on the floors sometime next year. The director is however maintaining silence about the issue. Considering how equations change in the industry with projects being shelved quite often, this comes as no surprise.

I hear this question a lot from artists, art lovers, and collectors. The truth is that there is no clear answer. Each artist has their own idea of what success is.
For some it is making lots of money off of their art. Others will say simply being able to make their art and have exhibits. More will say being able to live off what they make on their art, and yet others will say simply working on their art, while for even others it is about having museum shows, their works in collections and doing public works for the world to see.
Some artists ideas of success will also change over time. In the beginning of their carrier artists who are still trying to find themselves might just want to be able to do their art.
By the time you enter the emerging stage artists might simply want to make their work and have exhibits. As you continue to emerge as an artist you may hope to sell enough work to live off of, while some look forward to the day that they can sell their work for lots and lots of money.
The truth is that only about 1% of 1% of artists make enough money to live off of, and only 1% of that make enough money to be comfortable, and still only 1% of that make a lot of money.
These days most artists have a second jobs, not because they are not sure in the work that they are doing, or not because they are not creating great art, but for reasons like they need to pay rent, insurance and eat, and for a small number of them it is the fear of failure. Those that live off their work will tell you that it is a risk. You are putting everything you have into your art, with the hope of not only making your money back but also making enough to pay rent, eat, insurance and transportation.
When I talk to people about how I got into art I tell the story of how when I was younger and talked about being an artist, my family told me that I could end up like the artist on the street who spend their days drawing people for $5 a session. While to many that would seem like bad thing to me it sounded exciting. When I retired from the military and put my life into doing my art, I thought about would I be that kind of artist or would I really be able to live off the work that I loved doing. I leaped, taking the risk, and while it has not always been smooth, I have been able to live modestly off of my work.
The hardest part is to stick with it. If you start to doubt yourself or fear being able to make it, it will only get harder. I have seen many artists walk away because they have not reached the level of success they wanted in a certain amount of time. But this is not something that you can put a time line on. Part of the key to all this is keeping your work fresh (something I will go into in my next tip).

The stated intention of the X-37 is to "demonstrate reusable space technologies" intended for orbital spaceflight missions. The X-37 is approximately 29 feet long and has a relatively small cargo bay that's no larger than a pickup truck's bed.
The first X-37B mini-shuttle was launched in 2011. It has since completed three unmanned flights with the fourth flight USA-261 having launched on May 20, 2015. That flight was launched from Cape Canaveral mounted onto a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket and is still in orbit (1).
The X-37 missions are the topic of much speculation. What makes this mini-shuttle so intriguing is that the project began in 1999 under NASA's wing but, in 2004, the project was transferred to the US Department of Defense (DOD) as "part of the independent space policy" within the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) (2).
The X-37B is a variant of NASA's X-37A. Currently, the Air Force flies two X-37B research vehicles. The "spaceplane" was designed to maintain orbit up to 270 consecutive days; however, it has subsequently the orbits have grown longer (3):
–> OTV 1: 2010 – 224 days (Vehicle 1)
–> OTV 2 : 2011 – 469 days (Vehicle 2)
–> OTV 3: 2012 –675 days (Vehicle 1)
While the X-37B is a classified project operated by the US Air Force, the military has released various photos of the vehicle on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida and the California Vandenberg Air Force base. The latter site is where the X-37B lands autonomously.
Speculation over Classified Secret Missions
Because of the secrecy surrounding the project, there's a great deal of speculation about the missions and exact purpose of the X-37B.
According to a statement made by the Secretary of the Air Force, the OTV program focus is "risk reduction, experimentation, and operational concept development for reusable space vehicle technologies, in support of long-term developmental space objectives."
Boeing Chief Engineer Arthur Grantz speculated during an aerospace meeting that the X-37B could be modified to carry passengers.
Interestingly, prior to the 2015 launch the Air Force along with NASA revealed that two payloads consisted of NASA science experiment materials and "ionizing thrusts" that the Air Force was testing.
Space Flight Now speculated about what these two pieces of information revealed about the purpose of the program. It was theorized that the Hall thrusters that produce small steady thrusts could be useful for several kinds of spacecraft, especially "military communications satellites already in orbit".
This type of thruster could be used for lower orbit reconnaissance satellites ideal for ground target photography. Amateur astronomers using telescopes have spotted the X-37B in "relatively" low orbits of 200 miles above the Earth. That's lower than the ISS (International Space Station). These sightings of the X-37B have bolstered various theories.
Some other possible uses include:
–> Advanced Surveillance Sensors
–> Anti-Satellite And Counter-Anti-Satellite Operations
–> Communications
–> Navigation
–> Reconnaissance Satellites
–> Spy Satellite
–> Deliver Space-Based Weapons
–> Surveillance (4)
Air & Space Smithsonian quoted James Andrew Lewis, director and senior fellow in the Strategic Technologies Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, that the Air Force is interested in the development of advanced small sensors. He said that the Air Force is "looking to figure out how to transition from big, expensive satellites to smaller but equally capable satellites" (5).
A Fleet of Spaceplanes
With two X-37B research vehicles already being used, some believe the Air Force will soon have an operational fleet of spaceplanes.
Defense budget analyst for the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Todd Harrison speculates possibly bigger spaceplanes in the future would be deployed regularly to retrieve military satellites in need of repairs or maintenance back on Earth.
That's assuming that the logistics of launching a spaceplane larger than the current X-37B was possible.
Whatever the purpose(s) of the X-37B, it's clear that speculations will continue over such a highly publicized, yet classified project.

52 books in 52 weeks
The start of this year I decided that work was taking over way too much of my life and I had stopped doing the things I loved, like reading because I was working so much. The first 2-3 years of my business I think I read about 5-10 books a year, I used to read that in a month.
So I decided to set myself the challenge of reading 52 books in the year, equivalent to one per week. I logged my progress on this blog here. After a bit of a false start with a book I just couldn't get into I kept up a fairly steady pace for most the first half of the year. However once I started writing my book in July I suddenly found myself reading a lot less and just missed out on hitting my target.
I managed 44 books in the end, and I suspect I may read the 45th by the end of the year as I got some brilliant books for Christmas. The challenge still hit it's target in a way because I did enjoy several guilt free afternoons reading books instead of working. In fact some weeks I read 3 books a week, but then others I didn't read any at all.
I get so easily sucked into books and can't put them down that I know not to start a book when I have a very busy week ahead. Or I'll end up exhausted from staying up half the night reading and not be able to manage much work. So I did have to exercise self restraint a few times and just not start a book.
#52books 2014
After I announced my challenge last year several other people asked if they could join in so we set up a Twitter list and all used the hash tag #52books to keep each other up to date with our progress. I'm just waiting to hear back as to how everyone did but I think most people found similar to me. They didn't quite hit 52 but did end up reading more as a result of the challenge.
I've decided that I got so close this year, and by the start of Feb I should have finished writing my book so may have more reading time again so I'm going to try the challenge again in 2014.
Who fancies trying it with me?
I've decided to set up a Facebook group so we have more space to talk about how we're getting on and what we're reading. Join in here.

To contact them, click on their name (Clan) to view their page, click on their main page's title (Webpage). To see their roster, click on the number of members (# Members). To see what their current status denotes, click on their alignment (status).
Status Definitions
Ally - allies will not participate in clan wars against each other, however, they can team up in a clan war against a mutual enemy/rival or another clan. Also, they cannot participate in a free-for-all tournament; only a ladder tournament. Fighting a high-ranking person of an allied clan in a skirmish game will result in them becoming friendly. Members of both clans are pooled.
Friendly - this clan will occasionally help us out as we will sometimes help them. If they participate in a clan war against each other, they become enemies. Refusing to aid a friendly clan will result in us becoming neutral to them. They can participate in friendly skirmishes as long as there are no wagers.
Neutral - this clan does not like nor hate us. They are neutral. If there is a clan war between two neutral clans, they become rivals.
Enemy - this clan does not like us at all. They will fight with us whenever they feel like it. Responding to an enemy's request for help will make them neutral.
Rival - this clan despises us. They will try to sabotage our efforts and convert our members. They will oppose us outright. They will not participate in ladder tournaments, only free-for-all tournaments. Aiding them will accomplish nothing. Skirmishing against one of their high-ranking members will result in an automatic addition of 5 points to your kill score.
Unaware - this clan does not know of us...yet...
The admin is available at firstname.lastname@example.com and usually responds to relevant mail.
This is a fan site for many games, and will likely have media, such as images and music, from those games. These games include LucasArts' Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, and Mysteries of the Sith. As well as Raven's Star Trek Elite Force and Jedi Outcast (also LucasArts). As well as Max Payne which was done by Remedy, Godgames, and 3D Realms. Squaresoft's Final Fantasy 6 and 8. Nintendo's Mario RPG (also Squaresoft) and Legend of Zelda 3 A Link to the Past. Microprose's X-Com: UFO Defence as well. The media from these games has been taken without their consent, and therefore, if the holders of these rights wish me to remove media of theirs, I will. However, until then, I'll be using their media because these games are all amazing, and, in fact you should try them out.

Cranberry Bliss Bars - a knockoff of the Starbuck's treat. A blondie dotted with white chocolate and cranberries with a slight hint of orange.
Blondie Layer:
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) salted butter, cubed
- 1½ cups packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 6 ounces white baking chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 6 ounces white baking chocolate, melted
- ½ cup dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13x9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Prepare the blondie layer: In a medium bowl, melt butter for one minute in the microwave; stir in brown sugar. Scrape the butter & sugar into a large bowl and let cool to room temperature. Use an electric mixer to beat in the eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Stir in the cranberries and chopped chocolate (the batter will be thick).
- Spread the blondie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 18-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until well-blended. Gradually add half of the melted white chocolate; beat until blended. Frost brownies. Sprinkle with cranberries. Drizzle with remaining melted white chocolate. Cut into bars- square or triangle-shaped. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- If you'd like to add an orange flavor to these bars, add 1 tablespoon grated orange zest to the frosting.

Design of Centaurus
Centaurus is the University of Minnesota's 8th generation solar vehicle. Design work on Centaurus began in earnest in the fall of 2006, and major construction began in the fall of 2007. The car was completed in late June of 2008.
Due to rule changes for the 2008 North American Solar Challenge, the Centaurus aerodynamics team had to deviate significantly from past designs. New rules mandated an upright driver seating position, which required a much taller car. A variety of designs were created in SurfaceWorks, and tested in Ansys/CFX. Once a design was chosen, female molds were created in order to produce the actual aeroshell through a fiberglass a nomex core lay-up process. Fiberglass was chosen for both the top and bottom of the car this year due to its light weight and lack of electrical conductivity. Carbon fiber was used strategically to reinforce lift points on the bottom of the car.
One of the many things that the team takes great pride in is the car's solar array. The UMNSVP is one of the very few collegiate teams that research, test, string, encapsulate, and assemble their entire solar array in-house. Market availability led the team to choose A-300 silicon cells over the gallium-arsenide cells used in the Borealis series cars. The array team used the laminator designed and built by the Borealis III team to construct Centaurus's solar array to exacting standards.
The team is extremely proud that nearly all of the electrical components on the car are designed and manufactured in-house. Building off of years of work done by previous teams, the Centaurus electrical team redesigned all of the electrical systems on the car with an eye towards reliability and ease of maintenance. Improvements to the power trackers, battery protection, and driver interface circuitry have been coupled with a re-written and cleaned up codebase. The team has also started a project to design a new, custom motor controller that is backward compatible with the old systems. This controller will hopefully see use on the next car.
The mechanical team produces one of the most reliable and cleanly designed cars in collegiate solar racing. Improving on the excellent reliability and durability of Borealis II and III, the team continued to optimize previous designs. The chassis was constructed out of fiberglass composite panel. Double A-arm suspension was used up front, while a single swing-arm was utilized in the rear.

This guide will help you write any paper ranging from a 5 page research paper to a 10 page paper. During your time in school, be it in college or university, writing papers with pages 5 to 10 are very common. This article will provide you with an overview of how to write a 10 page paper easily if you wish to write it yourself. Incase you a good grade, you should consider our research papers for sale service. We have the best experts for writing a 10 page paper for you.
Most students are usually intimidated by writing long papers like the the 10 page paper. The problem which students face is that they don't break the paper down to have smaller and simple subsections of the research paper. One key step in writing a (five to ten page paper)5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 page research paper is coming up with a plan. In this guide, we will talk about how you come up with a plan for your 10 page paper but we will have to outline the structure of each paper.
Structure of a 5 Page Research paper: – how to write a 5 page paper
A normal five page research paper has 1375 word, approximately 14 paragraphs:
135 words for introductory paragraphs (10%)
1105 Word for the Main Body (80%)- Approximately 11 paragraphs
135 words for conclusion (10%)
Structure of a 6 Page Research paper: – how to write a 6 page paper
Number of words: 1650
Approximate Number of Paragraphs: 16
Introduction: 165 words
main Body: 1320 words- Approximately 13 paragraphs
Conclusion: 165 words
Structure of a 7 Page Research paper: how to write a 7 page paper
Number of words: 1925
Approximate Number of Paragraphs: 20
Introduction: 192 Words
main Body: 1540 words- Approximately 15 paragraphs
Conclusion: 192 Words
Structure of a 8 Page Research paper: – how to write a 8 page paper
Number of words: 2200 words essay
Approximate Number of Paragraphs: 22
Introduction: 220 words
main Body: 1760 words- Approximately 17 paragraphs
Conclusion: 220 words
Structure of a 9 Page Research paper: – how to write a 9 page paper
Number of words: 2475 words essay
Approximate Number of Paragraphs: 24 Paragraphs
Introduction: 250 words
main Body: 1975 words- Approximately 17 paragraphs
Conclusion: 250 words
Outline or Structure of a 10 Page Research paper:
Since the structure of writing a research paper is nearly the same, we will focus on how to write a ten page paper. This is one of the most dreaded paper by student due to its length. The same guide will apply for larger research papers but we won't delve into that. A basic ten page paper has 3 major parts: Introduction, Main Body, and a conclusion.
- Introduction:
This is your starting point when writing a 10 page paper. It is in the introductory paragraphs that you explain what your paper aims to research and provide the research question. In a ten page research paper, the introductory paragraphs should be two. The first paragraph contains the research question while the second paragraph contains the thesis statement. You have to make sure that the thesis statement for your research paper clearly shows your position and summarizes what your paper is about. You can refer to our other guides on how to make a thesis statement for a research paper.
- Main Body:
The main body of your research paper contains about 80% of your writing . In this section, you should aim about 2200 words. These translates to about 18 to 20 paragraphs of 120 words each. Before writing the body section of your ten page research paper, you should make a simple outline for your paper. Have a topic sentence for each paragraph. All of these topic sentences should contribute towards your thesis statement. It is also wise to break your paper into 3 sections. A great example in this case would be when writing a debate paper, you would have these section: For Arguments, Against Arguments section, and Conflict Resolution section. After coming up with a plan, you can now embark on writing your paper.
- Conclusion:
This is your last chance to convince your examiner that what you have been writing makes sense. The concluding part takes two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, make sure you restate your thesis statement. Remember that you have to restructure your thesis statement to reflect the arguments and research data discussed in throughout your paper. Use the last paragraph to convince the reader that your research content matters. Aim for the best conclusion if you are looking for a good grade for your 10 page paper.
Proofreading Your 10 Page Paper
This is the most critical part in getting good marks or points for your paper. Please note that you may have great content in terms of argument and research writing skills, but a paper full of grammatical errors and unreferenced data won't give your examiner a good impression. After working on your paper, sit down, read, and re-read your ten page essay carefully to make sure that your paper is perfect. It is also great if you can hire an expert to proofread and correct any mistakes your paper.
There you are! This is how you write a 10 page paper easily. If you need help writing a 10 page paper, we are the best research writing service that you can trust.

changing landscapes vancouver island
"Vancouver Island is as exotic as it gets. But it's a different kind of exotic.
It's not palm trees and margaritas.
It's giant cedars and single malt. It's a pristine and wild exotic."
'Changing Landscapes Vancouver Island' is a 13 part television series set on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Voted by Conde Nast traveler readers as the best island in Canada, Vancouver Island would appear to have some serious tourism credentials buried in its forests and shorelines. Yet when we bandy words like 'exotic' and 'laid back' about all we think of is the Caribbean, the 'Med' or S.E. Asia. Well, what's wrong with home? That's a question we've been asking ourselves, so Dominik and I will be heading out to see what all the fuss is about. We'll be scouring the island from north to south, and east to west in search of changing landscapes and a hearty adventure or two. Join us as we visit old growth forests, kayak with seals and maybe have a pint or two at a local brew pub!

text: As some posters at Organissimo have noted, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, if still alive, would have turned 77 today–on 07/07/07, that lucky date of destiny. Maybe Mobley, the so-called "middleweight champion" of his instrument, will posthumously reap the good fortune that eluded him in his lifetime. At least the tenor saxophonist, like fellow Blue Note recording artist Herbie Nichols before him, has been touted so much as an underrated/overlooked talent that it's fairly safe to say he's finally transcended the cliche. His "round sound," as he himself once described it, has won him a number of followers among fans of 1950s and 60s hardbop, but I think he's still neglected in another sense: his compositional strength. The Blue Note LPs that he made from 1955 to 1970 are filled with strong, vibrant originals such as "Funk in Deep Freeze," "Peckin' Time," "Third Time Around," and "This I Dig of You." Melodic, subtle, swinging, and hip–all adjectives one can associate with the Mobley canon. On this godly day, we thank Hank for the music he bequeathed to us.

Food Sovereignty
Food Sovereignty
Location: Xuyem Pham's Garden, East New Orleans, LA
Featuring: Xuyem Pham
Xuyen Pham fled Vietnam with her husband and children at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. After months in Southeast Asian refugee camps, they were moved to Fort Chaffee in Arkansas. The family was eventually sponsored by a hotel owner in Oklahoma, but due to the coldthey moved again, settling in the "Mary Queen of Vietnam," a community in East New Orleans.
Twenty years later, Xuyen lost her home again, this time to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. After the storm, she turned the property into a farm to feed her community. Xuyen's farm is right in the middle of a suburban housing track in East New Orleans. Here, she stands amidst taro plants in in her home garden. The plant stems are a base ingredient in traditional soups and congees found on most Vietnamese dinner tables. By growing taro and other vegetables she keeps Vietnamese traditions alive in her community.
For Xuyen, food sovereignty requires both livelihood and self-determination. It's the ability of community members to control food access and production independently of outside food sources. It empowers community elders to grow traditional fruits and vegetables and fisher folk to go shrimping, fishing, and crabbing to sell at local stores, the local Saturday farmers market, and most importantly, to feed their families, neighbors, and community members.

The Roommate
When I was 16 going on 17, I went to Russia and went insane, but that is another story for a novel or two. What I want to write about now is the first time I was in the hospital. My roommate, once I moved to the open unit, appeared to be a sweet woman who held prayer meetings with her friends who came to visit her. Her name was Carol. She was convicted of murder a few years later.
After I was out of the locked unit, my head still buzzed with thoughts of God and why the world is so demented. Carol was about my mother's age, and her husband and daughter came to visit her. The daughter's name was Katrina, and she talked to me about music and things. She wanted to be a singer.
I thought Katrina was interested in being my friend because she knew I was in touch with God. She looked older than fourteen; she appeared about eighteen. Her hair was long, and she had black roots with dyed red hair. She looked like she forgot to dye it, because she might have had other things on her mind for a couple of months.
"Wow, I heard you danced in The Nutcracker," she said to me. Word had gotten out in the hospital that I had been in the Boston Ballet's production of The Nutcracker when I was a kid and everyone talked about it. I had danced in the show when I was nine, but I hadn't taken any dance classes in four years. They didn't know that there were more interesting aspects of my life that I could talk about, like how I went to Russia and how I was destined to save the world.
There was a guy in the hospital, Matt, who was older than both Katrina and me who liked Katrina. She stopped coming to the hospital because I think her parents didn't like a 20-year old man looking at their 14-year old daughter. Katrina never told me about her sister or why her mother was there. I didn't know why anyone went to the plastic castle that passed for a hospital with the tank full of goldfish that spoke to me, telling me that everything would be okay.
Carol's husband Paul was Italian, unlike Carol, and he discovered that I liked Pepperidge Farm Brussels Cookies, and he brought them to me sometimes. I thought he was being kind to me so he could be saved when I got out of the hospital. I would be magnanimous with everyone who was nice to me when I was released.
But Carol's eyes would glaze over, and she would take a handful of pills, and she would sit and stare when Katrina and Paul weren't there. She didn't understand where she was or what she did. I thought she was like another mother to me when we slept in the same room. But she wasn't. She was a stranger, and a murderer who had shot her own daughter to death.
Three years later, I still drifted in and out of the hospital. I wanted to believe I was in touch with God, I was a fish gasping for air coming up to the top of the tank; I took classes, I had a job at a coffee shop. I went shopping and I bought CDs, I bought clothes and shoes, and I tried to live like a regular person who had never been driven insane by a trip to Russia.
One ordinary day in February, I was watching TV with my parents and I saw Carol's face on Current Edition.
"What happened?" I said. "That's the woman from the hospital, Carol. She was my roommate."
"It turns out she did a terrible thing," my mother said.
It had been on the news that on February 14th of that year, Valentine's Day, the same day I left for Russia, Susan shot and murdered her sixteen-year old daughter Krystal, then tried to shoot and murder Katrina and kill herself as well. She told Katrina that she wanted them to all be together in heaven.
Carol and Katrina lied and told everyone that Krystal committed suicide. Krystal's friends were the ones investigating what happened because they said she would never have committed suicide. They said Krystal was a happy person, a normal teenage girl, who would never shoot herself in the head on a cold Valentine's Day morning when she was sixteen.
Shockwaves went through my body. I slept in a room with a murderer. She killed her own daughter, and was crazy enough to lie about it.
She could have killed me.
She could have thought I was her daughter, and might have strangled me in my sleep with a blanket or a pillowcase.
How close was I to death in that room in the hospital? How could I have been a victim in a version of psychotic filicide? I was sick enough, but the people in the hospital put me in a room with a woman who had shot to death a daughter who was the same age as me.
But the people in the hospital didn't know. They didn't know that Carol had murdered her daughter. She was completely insane, maybe more insane than me.
My parents were upset that she had been sleeping in the same room as me. I couldn't tell anyone because I didn't know how to explain the story.
Carol ended up going to jail for the murder of her daughter. The day of the trial, Katrina spoke in the courtroom, "My mother doesn't need jail time, she needs therapy. She needs help. She's sick."
Katrina kissed her mother on the lips in the courtroom. Her father, Paul, put his arms around Carol. I saw it all on the six o'clock news.
I pitied Katrina. I didn't know if she'd be okay. I knew that this is the kind of experience that could screw her up for the rest of her life. Her mother in jail for murdering her sister, both gone, her alone with her father. Would they torture each other? Would they love each other? There was no answer than I could find. I tried to envision the best.
My hopes for them did not come to fruition.
I moved on with my life, I stopped going to the hospital, and I decided to go to school to study something completely different from me: marine biology. Studying the life of the ocean became my calling. I moved to San Francisco and left Boston behind with its crowded streets and rude people. I went to the opposite of Boston, where everyone was laid back and nobody knew that I used to be a crazy girl.
I did wild things when I was alone in San Francisco, I experimented with men and women, I got an aqua tattoo of an octopus on my back; I did cocaine, though it wasn't stylish anymore. I stayed away from heroin because I knew my fish friends needed me.
I went to strip clubs with friends from time to time. I didn't mind looking at women or men. I regretted watching women, though, when I saw her.
There she was, I would know her anywhere, Katrina, dancing on a stage, fully nude, her hair still long and two-toned, but blonde and black, on her ass a giant yellow butterfly tattoo. I didn't know what to think or do; I just stood there and gaped. I remembered everything, her mother, her father; the picture of her sister Krystal on TV. I didn't want to remember, but it all flew back at me.
I saw her grasping for her money like a fish flapping her fins, and I ran out of the club and to my car. I'd had too much to drink, and I didn't think I could drive, but I sat in my car stunned at the outcome of her drama.
I took some deep breaths. I tried to think of beautiful things, but the sight of Katrina's naked breasts still shone in my mind. How did she come to this? What brought her to the West Coast? I didn't have the nerve to talk to her. She might not even remember me.
After that, I decided to stay out of the strip clubs of San Francisco, and spend more time on the beach, looking at the ocean, trying to find peace in my mind that had been to a dozen different galaxies in the past, but had landed back on earth, where I didn't think I was God anymore, but that didn't matter because I knew myself and what I wanted, and that was to simply look at the color blue until it hypnotized me into sedation.

finding my purpose
Dear younger self, I know you are obsessed with finding your purpose. You say you don't care about making friends, getting married, having kids -- I admire your focus and conviction, but you don't have to sacrifice relationships in order to be successful.
In fact, there is one relationship in particular you need more than anything, and you have ignored it your whole life: your relationship with yourself.
Before you can find your purpose, you will need to find yourself.
You will discover self-connection is your first purpose. That giving your life away before you know its value rejects your worth and the worth of anyone you want to impact. That the most powerful knowledge you could possess just might be the knowledge of who you are.
One day, you will believe God loves you, personally and intimately. That he sees you and speaks to you and just wants to be with you. That there may be accidental parents but there are never accidental children. That with his love, anything is possible.
You will learn to process pain, to forgive, to release. As you become whole and free, you will start to dream. You haven't really dreamed before, but you will uncover so much of your heart in the process. You will realize relationships are what makes life worth living.
One day, you will have a husband. He will choose you again and again. He will show you that you don't have to be strong all the time, that you can let your walls down and still be safe. He will love you so well that you will learn to love yourself.
You will fall in love with yourself. You will be content that you are enough, so you won't need to prove yourself to anyone. You will want to take care of yourself, so you will learn to say 'yes' to what is helpful and 'no' to what is harmful.
One day, you will have a child. You will be fulfilled as a mother not because of anything your child does, but because his existence creates in you the purest love you have ever known. This love will inspire you to lead a life worth imitating, a life worth celebrating.
You will watch your child grow and change so quickly that you will want to grow and change as well. You will want to be brave. You will take risks to live more authentically, more intentionally, more passionately.
Pursue love, and you'll find freedom. Pursue your dreams, and you'll find your calling.
Getting there won't be easy. You will sacrifice ambition for the sake of love. You will decline your dreams and wait for the right timing. Some nights you will cry yourself to sleep and wonder if it will ever be your turn. You will whisper your dreams into the darkness and hope beyond hope that one day they will become your reality.
Your calling will come as you go. When your purpose calls you, it will be a call you can't ignore. Your spirit will taste eternity and know it is just the beginning. Your heart will confirm it as you sing a prayer, as you feed your squishy baby, as excitement wells up inside at the prospect of a new opportunity. Your days will be full of life and possibility.
I know you are afraid you have missed your prime, that it's too late for you, but that is a lie. You are not behind. You are exactly where you need to be. Your best days will come as you become more and more yourself.
You have yet to find your purpose because you have yet to find yourself, but once you do, you will understand that finding your purpose happens through living on purpose. Through embracing each season, owning your choices, listening and trusting and trying.
You will find your way as you find yourself, and I'll be here every step of the journey.
With love,
Your older self

On the body, it has a dual action....cooling when hot and warming when cold. Extremely important for its effect on the digestive system (some users recommend 1 drop on a sugar cube or on a teaspoon of honey).
Has a slightly anesthetic effect on stomach muscles. Good for travel sickness, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, colic, nausea and to keep drivers alert while on the road.
Its cooling and pain relieving action seems to ease headaches, migraines and toothaches. Used in liniments for the relief of muscle pain, lumbago, bruises, joint pain and insect bites. Can be used to relieve any kind of skin irritation or itching but should be used in a dilution of 1% or less or the irritation could be made worse.

044 Klaus Burkhardt & Siegfried Maser
Rot 24: Strukturen / Berechnungen (with original materials)
With Manuscript Pages and Original Negatives
Stuttgart: Hansjorg Mayer, 1965
(36) pp., square 16mo. Perfect-bound in printed wrappers. Sixty-seven illustrations, including tables and diagrams.
Physicist Heinz von Foerster's copy, with his ownership stamp and annotations, two manuscript pages in Foerster's hand, and an envelope of negatives. Some soiling and one small abrasion to back cover, and title written in ink on otherwise plain spine, otherwise very good; envelope, negatives, and manuscript pages in fine condition.
Issue number 24 of Mayer's long-running journal devoted to concrete poetry, experimental typography, and aesthetics; this issue devoted to the mathematics of rotated and tiled letters, creating rosettes, textures, and other patterns.
Von Foerster was the youngest attendee of the Macy Conferences in the late 1940s and early 1950s, which gave birth to the field of cybernetics, and he edited the resulting five volumes of transcripts; his many accomplishments across a very wide range of disciplines include advances in high-frequency electronics and in population modeling, as well as a pioneering text on computer music.
In addition to several annotations to the text, he has added two manuscript pages, both featuring hand-drawn graphs and equations, exploring aspects of the mathematics of, in one case, the capital letter R (which is the building block of the first forty patterns in the book), and in the other, a particular shape of curve. (In the latter instance, he has cut one of the French-fold pages and tipped in the graph between the pages.) Also accompanying the volume is a folder containing the ten original opaqued production negatives for the images in the first half of the text (the forty patterns created by rotating Rs).
Altogether an extraordinary document of research in process.

Chinese Dumplings: Potstickers
Kung hei Fat choi!!
I know it's kind of late but you know it's better late than never! Lol!
Sorry for the long silence. I was sick lately. But hey don't worry im recovering now.
Well Christmas is over, New Year, then 3 kings then the traditional Chinese New Year. I am not a Chinese by the way. I just enjoy their culture and their food! It's so delicious!!
Well last Monday was holiday here due to Chinese New Year. Fortunately hubby brought home a Chinese fried dumpling which was superb! I remember my good friend who loves to cook this food.
I emailed here for the recipe to here I'd like to share it with you guys!
Potstickers are one of the most popular types of Chinese dumplings. This recipe includes a dipping sauce and instructions on making the dough.
Yields about 48 potstickers.
Yields about 48 potstickers.
· Dumpling Dough
· 2 cups all purpose flour
· 1 cup boiling water
· Filling:
· 8 ounces celery cabbage (Napa cabbage)
· 3 tsp salt, divided
· 1 pound lean ground pork
· 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, with tops
· 1 TB white wine
· 1 tsp cornstarch
· 1 tsp sesame oil
· Dash white pepper
· Dipping Sauce:
· 1/4 cup soy sauce
· 1 tsp sesame oil
· Other:
· 2 - 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Cut the cabbage across into thin strips. Mix with 2 teaspoons salt and set aside for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix the celery cabbage, pork, green onions, wine, cornstarch, the remaining 1 teaaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and the white pepper.
In a bowl, mix the flour and 1 cup boiling water until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly flour surface about 5 minutes, or until smooth.
Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a roll 12 inches long and cut each roll into 1/2-inch slices.
Roll 1 slice of dough into a 3-inch circle and place 1 tablespoon pork mixture in the center of the circle. Lift up the edges of the circle and pinch 5 pleats up to create a pouch to encase the mixture. Pinch the top together. Repeat with the remaining slices of dough and filling.
Heat a wok or nonstick skillet until very hot. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, tilting the wok to coat the sides. If using a nonstick skillet, add 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil. Place 12 dumplings in a single layer in the wok and fry 2 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Add 1/2 cup water. Cover and cook 6 to 7 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Repeat with the remaining dumplings.
To make a dipping sauce, in a small bowl, mix the soy sauce with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Serve with the dumplings.

Eggplant Salad (Ensaladang Talong)
This Filipino Eggplant salad takes quite a bit of preparation but it's well worth the effort. It complements main dishes that are dry like fried pork chops but it is also the companion side dish to the stew dish, puchero.
Filipino Eggplant Salad Ingredients:
Filipino Eggplant Salad Ingredients:
- 6 – 8 eggplants
- 3 – 6 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 2 tsp of salt
- 1 thinly sliced Onions
- 1 diced tomato
- 6 – 8 tsp of spicy vinegar
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- salted Shrimp
Note: The amount of garlic and vinegar will depend on personal taste and also on how long you intend to store the salad. The longer it is stored, the stronger the bite of the spicy vinegar and garlic, so you may lessen these ingredients accordingly.
Filipino Eggplant Salad Cooking Instructions:
- Prepare eggplant
- The best way is to grill the washed eggplants over hot coals.
- This brings out a deep taste to the eggplant.
- The second best way is to bake the eggplants in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 20 – 25 minutes.
- This method produces a drier eggplant which is easier to peel.
- When expedience is of essence, or there are no hot coals available, just boil the eggplant in a big pot for 5 minutes.
- Let the eggplant cool. Peel the skin off, trying to preserve as much of the flesh as possible.
- With a fork, mash the eggplant in a bowl. Stir in the vinegar, garlic, tomatoes, onion, salt and pepper
- Top with salted Shrimp
- Cool for half an hour to optimize flavor before serving.
Note: Spicy vinegar is, ideally, made from coconut and flavored with small red peppers called siling labuyo, slivers of small white onion called sibuyas ilokano, and peppercorns. You may also substitute regular apple cider vinegar or clear distilled vinegar. Also, in my experience, I've found that people either LOVE this salad or are indifferent to it. There have been times when I had nothing to eat along with the salad and just ate it with plain hot rice. Be forewarned, though. The garlic smell will taint your breath for several hours after you ingest the salad. If you fall into the category of salad lover, then the garlic breath will be a small price to pay for this gastronomic delight!

Mommy's Roasted Chicken
I know a lot of people are celebrating Thanksgiving now. But as we Filipinos are not celebrating. Too bad. But we should always be thankful for all the blessings. I know Turkey is the main dish during Thanksgiving. Too bad it's not that widely available in our market. So to mark the festivities my mother prepares a dish for the family last night of course it's not tukey. But A simple roasted Chicken!
Here' the ingredients:
· 1 whole chicken.
· half stick of butter.
· 3 tablespoon soy sauce
· 5 tbsps of garlic, chopped.
· 1 tbsp of oreganoshopping list
· 1 tbsp of basil
· 1 tbsp of rosemary
· chicken liver (approx. 9 pieces)
How to make it
· Pre-heat your oven (or turbo broiler) at 125 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes.
· Rub the half stick of butter and the soy sauce all over and inside the chicken.
· rub the entire chicken with rock salt, including the cavity (quantity of salt depends on your desired saltiness of the chicken)
· rub the garlic all over the chicken and also on the inside.
· rub the basil, rosemary and orergano mixture all over the chicken and also inside the chicken cavity.
· stuff the chicken liver inside the chicken cavity.
· After pre-heating for 15 minutes, put in the chicken inside the oven or turbo broiler (on top of the elevated grill that comes with the turbo broiler).
· roast for about an hour or an hour and fifteen minutes. If you are using a turbo broiler, no need to turn the chicken over. To know if your chicken is ready, prick the thigh part and if the fluid running from the thigh is clear, then the chicken is ready.
· Save the drippings.
· Cook the drippings with cornstarch, pepper and lemon and serve as dip or sauce for the chicken. Enjoy! Happy Eating and thanksgiving!

The idea behind Hand-Eye Supply was to create a storefront where designers and creative could find all of their dream tools, instruments, utility garments. They also have a wide variety of books and journals that are sure to inspire. Hand-Eye Supply feels as though it has a purpose, from the interior fixtures and utilitarian design to the store's overall atmosphere intended serve as the catalyst for you to create and fulfill projects. Hand-Eye Supply also currently hosts Curiosity Club speaker series every Tuesday evening, in which designers speak in order to invoke creativity as well as personal experience for like-minded and future creatives in Portland. Enjoy the interview with Tobias Berblinger, store manager and photos of the shop!
1. Tell us about Hand-Eye Supply!
We stock things that are nice to use, hard to find, lovely to touch, and inspiring in origin. From research materials to tool storage, from pocket knives to attractive workwear with pockets to hold those knives, we've got something for everyone. We serve creative folks' needs from conception, through execution and into life. As the retail operation of Core77 (the "11th most Influential Website in the World") Hand-Eye Supply merges design-mindedness with the culture of craftsmanship present in our hometown of Portland, OR.
2. What made you decide to open a store front?
Core77 and its affiliates have acted as resources for designers since Core77's founding in 1995. The original intention of the storefront was to be a resource for designers and architects specifically, supplying tools for drafting, shop work and prototyping. In a wonderful turn of events, we discovered that the products we had a much broader appeal, especially in Portland's dense creative environment.
3. What is the concept behind the store?
The idea of the store is to supply useful and functional supplies for life. Primarily our focus is on utility products to be used in the process of making things. Every item in the shop needs to meet our standards for Utility, Story, and Design. While each product may have stronger attributes towards one standard than the others, we ensure that they have at least some component of all three.
4. How did you come up with the name Hand-Eye Supply?
Hand-Eye Supply is a play on hand eye coordination, which is often, but not always, an essential component of creative work.
5. What are your 3 favorite things in the store?
I am personally particular to the pocket knives, and the Mercator "Kat" Knives specifically. Having been involved in the design, I'm partial to the Hand-Eye Supply shop aprons and I am really excited about a new apparel product that we can't speak too much about yet .
6. What's a funny shop story you have?
J.J. Abrams, (creator of LOST, producer of the new Star Trek series and director, writer and producer of the upcoming Star Wars film) came in to the store and wanted to buy a size medium t-shirt. It was early in our history and at the time we only had Core77 shirts, left over from the original Core77 online store and we had an abundant selection of larges but very little else. I scoured the shop for a medium and couldn't turn any thing up. He bought a notebook or something and then left proclaiming an appreciation for the store. Moments after he left I realized that we had a medium t-shirt on a Mannequin in plain view. What a bummer!
7. Who inspires your style?
We're heavily influenced by our customers. They've helped us immensely in defining who we are. Our staff is made up of a collection of design nerds, music lovers, history buffs, and otherwise information and ephemera obsessed human beings, so we draw on a broad swath of influences from our various personal sources.
8. Where are your favorite places to shop?
ADX, Shop People and Public Lab are some of our favorite community centers and some of our favorite stores include Mississippi Records, Exiled Records, The Good Mod, Una, Communion, W.C. Wink's Hardware, Lowell, Portland Outdoor Store, Oregon Leather, Eden, Canoe, Floating World Comics, Table of Contents, Schoolhouse Electric Co, Rebuilding Center and Community Cycling Center. Obviously many more, but that's a quick list.
