New anime OPs & EDs
The new anime openings and endings come all at once don't they ^_^ I posted the newest openings and endings for Bleach, Naruto, Digimon Savers, and the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl series(some are AVI files, some are YouTube videos.) And I've gotta say, I'm pleased with all of them…
One Piece openings 5 & 6 full translations
The fifth and sixth opening songs for One Piece were the first anime songs I translated myself ^^ I love pretty much all the One Piece songs, especially the openings, so that's what motivated me to put my Japanese skills to work and translate them. After that, they were sitting idly on my computer for a while, but now that I have my own blog site, I figured why not post them here, along with other anime/j-pop songs I decide to translate. So here they are =) I plan to translate more of my favorite anime songs in the future, so keep a lookout!
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Revelations of the last episodes
Back when I watched the first episode of Higurashi, I never thought I would enjoy the series as much as I did. With the exception of the hinting at a horror/mystery element, the first episode made it seem like the series was going to be fairly predictable, with a cast of pretty stereotypical characters. But now that I've watched all of it, I have a totally different view of it. Sure, it has its share of flaws, but for the most part, its great blend of suspense, drama, horror, and mystery, all conveyed through a series of story arcs, each acting as a slightly different reality of the same story, while also revealing more of the main and complex mystery of the series as whole, really makes Higurashi a very unique show.
Game review: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
In the Nintendo DS and Game Boy Advance game Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, you take on the role of a human who's been turned into a pokemon. While trying to unravel the mystery of how you were transformed, you partner up with another pokemon and form a pokemon rescue team. Along with your loyal partner and other pokemon you recruit, you journey through many long and dangerous dungeons, rescuing other pokemon, battling enemy pokemon, and trying to find items and information that will help you solve the mystery of why the pokemon world is currently being shaken by natural disasters, and more importantly, what role does your hero pokemon play in it all.

A lot of spectacles on that channel.
George Michael is a woman?
no but he woes men
Yup. But the description specifically said "songs sung by women who are trying to capture the hearts of guys." Minor oops.
Well, it was purple and pulsating, but I don't think that it was his heart.
Well, I think in this case he was wooing men, but he has broken some hearts, I believe, so I'm sure he has woe'd men in the past. (Yes, I verbed that noun, but to be fair, you did it first,)
Oh man, that Riskay song. I had FORGOTTEN it! Why did you make me remember? WHY?!
that milkshake song is 10 yrs old? holy shit
I'm not normally a fan of selectively choosing songs that suggest decreased censorship in mainstream media is really a decrease in talent, but I have to admit, I laughed.
Words cannot even begin to express how very sad this makes me.
The decline is evident.
On the one hand, it describes a lamentable decline in lyrical sophistication, on the other hand the work itself is funny, clever, original, well executed by people with a lot of talent, and supremely contemporary.
We might be in decline, but the meta-commentary on the decline is awesome!
Bullshit. Great wooing songs are still out there. They're just not headlining any more. The decrease is in the sophistication of the youth audience that drives sales figures.
Also, teenyboppers are newly horny and lack the control of maturity, so it's no surprise that, as kids younger and younger are bolder about exploring sex, they more openly listen to lewd lyrics.
Also, the puritanical backlash against the free-love generation finally succumbed to the internet and cable-TV age, but left no memory of romance for star-crossed kids to learn from, so all they have is cheap sex-comedy, porn, and Flavor of Love to teach them the amorous arts. I wouldn't worry about it though. To quote Dogbert, when virtual reality becomes cheaper than dating, mankind is doomed. This is just the Bacchanalian third act.
Also, Time After Time is a song about friendship, not romantic love.
Hey Gulliver, thanks for calling bullshit on my claim there are no great wooing songs anymore! I didn't say that but fuck it, knock yourself out.
Nice 'Dogbert' reference.
Well, you said it describes a lamentable decline in lyrical sophistication and I was calling bullshit on that statement which I took at face value, and arguing that it was tastes, not talent that had declined. Apologies for Internet Sin # 11: sounding more belligerent than I meant to.
Perhaps a little compact, but clear. If I say 'the Harry Potter Books describe a school of wizardry' I'm not suggesting there is such a school.
Anyway, no worries. I got to hang shit on you for a Dilbert reference, and then went on to make a Harry Potter reference, so I think we're even.
Disposable incomes amongst teenagers has increased, so they're influencing pop culture more
Well, to be fair, for example, the 1979 disco song "Ring My Bell" might not contain four-letter words but it can be interpreted in an… interesting way. The love song genre has always contained a few risque hits but how veiled the language is will vary by time and place. See the 18th century bawdy tune "My Thing is My Own".
What happened to Portishead "Glory box" , i thought it would have been a good fit, but being that the mid 90's and up to present songs were full of expletives and vulgar language, perhaps it's better that classic wasn't sullied by association. Sigh music is going down hill. I remember when females were women, not men with vaginas like they are today.
I don't think cdza are actually saying "Look how love songs all used to be sweet and now they're all sexually explicit and crude"; I think they're saying something more like "Here's an awesome medley, with an element of social/artistic commentary"…
But if anyone does think this is indicative of a general decline in songwriting standards I'd like to disagree. People have been writing filthy songs since people have been writing songs – in Stephen Fry's 'The Ode Less Travelled' he quotes a few ballads from the 1700s which are too sick for me to type out here. In '64, the year of My Guy and Baby Love, John Lennon would regularly replace the chorus of 'I wanna hold your hand' with the lyrics 'I wanna fuck your c**t', though obviously this little 'joke' never left the practice room. There's a bootleg of the Doors singing a little ditty called 'Fuck Her in the Ass' in the late sixties – it was given general release in the 90s on a 'best of' compilation. So there's one thing – the writers of hits of the 60s were quite capable of being explicit, but censorship meant the smut went unreleased.
Another thing is that there is a long tradition of songs which are explicit but metaphorical – Led Zeppelin stole the line 'squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg' from a song that was at least 30 years old at the time. You can certainly argue that there is a step from that to 'lick my pussy and my crack'; but I don't think it's a real huge step – it's just jumping from metaphorical to literal.
So I think it would be totally valid to argue that songs with explicit lyrics used to be kept private and are now more widely released; or that sexually explicit material used to be more metaphorically delivered and is now more often literal, but it seems a bit much to say 'O woe is us, everything is all stupid and porny now' – and I think cdza are too smart a bunch of people to be saying such a thing.
I also kind of wonder if there's an element of sexism to this – "women used to be all sweet and sing about their Baby Loves and now they're [gasp] speaking frankly about their sexual preferences, how gross!" Which may be an oversimplification, but seems to be at least slightly present in some of the comments here…
I sorta thought when you said it went downhill after 1996, the transition would be gentle. Wasn't really ready to have it slapped in my face, or put in my mouth, or whatever.
Long hair, polka dots and glasses? Rawr!

The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago and Thinc Design Receive 2012 THEA Award
The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) has given a prestigious THEA award to You! The Experience , a highly interactive and creative exhibition that celebrates the human mind, body and spirit. The exhibition was designed by Thinc, the award-winning international exhibition design firm, for Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Patricia Ward, director of science and technology for exhibits at the Museum, and Tom Hennes, Thinc's founder and creative director, accepted the award at a ceremony at the 9th Annual TEA Summit on March 17. The two award recipients also gave a presentation about the exhibition during the three-day event. " You! The Experience was a broad-ranging collaboration between the Museum of Science and Industry and Thinc," said Tom Hennes. He continued, "It eventually grew to involve dozens of specialists on staff in the Museum, outside experts in health and biology, specialty fabricators, and media producers. Many, many people contributed great work to the exhibition and it's wonderful that the Themed Entertainment Association chose to recognize it with a THEA." You! The Experience departs from traditional organizational structures that divide its subject into areas of medical specialization or biological expertise. Instead, by placing its visitors in the center of an exploration of human health and well being, the 15,000 square-foot exhibition is built around the idea of seeing ourselves from different perspectives, such as our future, our beginnings, our appetites, movement, or vitality. Each of these areas provides a multidisciplinary lens in the form of interactive components that visitors can use to investigate an aspect of their being. The exhibition places health into a context of everyday life, offering insight into the choices we make and current information that can affect them. Its goal, as articulated by the Museum, is to "Inspire and engage people to engage constructively with their own and others' health, through exhibits and programs that broaden self-awareness, build knowledge, and encourage action." The exhibition includes historic biological specimens that have been in the Museum's collection since the 1930s, including a collection of thin body slices preserved in alcohol. It also includes seventeen recently acquired plastinated specimens prepared by the Institute of Plastination (the producer of the immensely popular Body Worlds traveling exhibitions), which offer a glimpse into the profound intricacy and beauty of the human body. Thinc designed over 50 interactive elements specifically for the exhibition, that engage their users in a spectrum of activities relating to such areas to birth and reproduction, diet, physical activity, social relations, thinking, decision-making, aging, the accumulation of life experience, and medical innovation. The exhibition is constructed on a large balcony wrapping three sides of the Museum's huge entrance atrium. Says Hennes, "One of the greatest design challenges was to create a human scale for the experience, while enabling people on the main floor below to see what was on the balcony 25 feet above them." Thinc's solution was to develop a clean, open architecture of vertical planes and partial ceilings faced with dynamic supergraphics and edged with glowing, colored light. Hennes continued, "The graphics provide strong visual clues, giving just enough enclosure to help people focus on what they're doing but always allowing enough visibility around the corner to see what's coming next." Thinc collaborated with the Los Angeles-based Hunt Design on the exhibition graphics, and with New York-based Renfro Design Group on the lighting. The emotional and physical center of You! The Experience is the 13 foot-high, interactive Giant Heart—a dimensional sculpture that incorporates lifelike animation to appear as a living, beating heart. Visitors can grasp a pair of sensors that synchronize the heart to their own heartbeat, while its booming sound—silent to us in our everyday lives—echoes throughout the gallery. Other unique media driven experiences include a human-sized cardio "hamster wheel," that shows what happens in the body when we exercise, "Stay Active," which demonstrates how the physically challenged overcome barriers, "Mirror, Mirror," demonstrating the expression and perception of emotions, "Your Appetite," a series of lighthearted interactives about healthy eating choices, "Sleep-O," a series of animated shorts about sleep projected onto the ceiling and viewed from a giant bed, "iStan," a human patient simulator used for training health professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of critical health issues, and "Face your Future" which captures the guest's image and demonstrates the process of aging. Additionally, the exhibition is supported by rich program of educational programming for guests, students and teachers. About Thinc Design Founded in 1992, Thinc Design leads the field in developing and implementing extraordinary exhibitions. The firm strategizes, plans, conceptualizes, designs and builds projects that range from natural history museums, science centers, heritage museums, maritime centers and aquariums, botanical gardens, theme parks and select projects for corporate clients. With new and varied modes of engagement and interaction, Thinc strives to provide visitors with new ways of seeing the world around them, to help stimulate curiosity, awaken feelings, expand their ways of thinking, and ultimately find new meanings and live their lives more richly. The firm has recently completed projects the Steinhart Aquarium at the California Academy of Sciences, The Freedom Park in South Africa, and the Museum of American Folk Art. Thinc is also currently developing the exhibitions for the National September 11 Memorial Museum at the World Trade Center and the Discovery Park of America. Based in New York City, Thinc works throughout the United States and internationally. For more information, go to www.thincdesign.com.

A 'dig' at Mott The Hoople?
Are these lyrics a 'dig' at Mott The Hoople?
The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys (Winwood/Capaldi)
If you see something that looks like a star
And it's shooting up out of the ground
And your head is spinning from a loud guitar
And you just can't escape from the sound
Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you
We were children once, playing with toys
And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys
The percentage you're paying is too high priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
But today you just read that the man was shot dead
By a gun that didn't make any noise
But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest was
The low spark of high-heeled boys
If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish
Would you ask for something like another chance?
Or something similar as this? Don't worry too much
It'll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys
And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of
The low spark of high-heeled boys
If I gave you everything that I owned and asked for nothing in return
Would you do the same for me as I would for you?
Or take me for a ride, and strip me of everything including my pride
But spirit is something that no one destroys
And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound
The low spark of high-heeled boys

You said, "...Education should always be balanced so students are not brainwashed. Don't we want our children to come to complex and sophisticated conclusions on their own? I thought indoctrination was something we were trying to move away from." You're absolutely right. I treasure my child's individuality too much to have it crushed by a crowd of Hollister-wearing Mean Girls on a prepubescent rampage. I treasure my child's individuality so much that if she ever goes to school before college, it will not be until well after the bold outlines and many of the supporting details of her personality are completely filled in by her, and until the foundation of her personality is dry and structures she designs can be built upon it safely.
"The burden is on you to justify the terrible educational and social outcomes of your failed system of "education," which has been quite successful, actually, at achieving its original aims. Meanwhile, I will be attempting to create exceptional opportunities for my children, as "normal" (per ps definition) doesn't really cut it." |

Descent to Fugledalsbreen | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
This is the descent slope the skier is looking for. Earlier couliors either cliff out, or are too crevassed. Basically, stay on the ridge for as long as it's flat on top. Once it starts to steepen and lose snow, then it's time to look for this slope. Do not turn too early! Fugledalsfjellet is the mountain abover the glacier. For Fornesbreen route, descend this slope, then go into the hole in the bottom, and turn right to a tiny gap to reach the head of Fornesbreen (Fornes Glacier).

28 pin SSOP to DIP adapter
I am in need of a 28 pin SSOP to DIP prototyping adapter. Does anybody know of any good places to buy one? The most resonable priced one I could find was at epboard.com.
http://www.epboard.com/eproducts/pro...OPtoDIPAdapter The E28-0023 sells for $9.25usd. I have seen them for up to 3 times this price, so this seems like a pretty good deal. (despite the fact that it costs more than the IC I am using it with) Has anyone ordered from this place? Know a better place? Have a spare one on hand? Thanks in advance for your help...

Hello, I am going to go to my local electronics store and see if they can come up with anything. Although, I doubt they will have anything useful. I think I am going to try it on my own and see if I can't make them.
However, if I fail in this, I wouldnt mind splitting an order with you to maybe get a better deal on shipping (theirs is rediculous - min price of $7) Although.... I am looking at them again, and it looks like they are ADAPTERS not Sockets. You were probobly finding the sockets which are arround $20 -$30 at other places. The difference is that with the adapter, you still have to solder. With the Socket, you pop it in and latch it closed. let me know what your plans are |

I was planning to get an adapter that is a little PCB that I can solder the IC to, and then I can plug the whole assembly into a breadboard so I could do some prototyping. This was from a project discarded long ago, but I appreciate the interest and I'm sure the info will be appreciated by someone who will read this .

Iguees, I'm just trying to figure out which is the better path to take, make my own adapter, buy an adapter, but a socket adapter. I do not have any circuit board making 'stuff', but I am thinking that I will soon get into it so I can make my breadboard work into a finished product. Now for these damn small chips... |

Have you looked at Beldyn systems? They have what looks like a good deal. It's the solder to the board type thing, but you get more than one adapter. They're located at: Beldyn Systems .
If anybody tries them, I'd be interested to know their results! |

I'd be up for getting some of those. I was hoping someone would maybe do a group buy? I REALLY don't need 50 of these things... maybe a dozen. MAX.
If anyone is interested, I'd be wanting a board with 28SSOP -> DIP elements Actually, I wouldn't stocking up on some of these and selling them out to people with no min order. Please let me know if anyone would be interested in this, as I would like to get something figured out soon. Maybe I should start a new thread to see if anyone is interested... |

Why not make them yourself? It not that hard and it certainly would be a lot cheaper.
I made myself some 8 pin SOIC to DIP adapter, but the problem is I can't get rows of pins like the ones you find on IC sockets. This is not a problem if you're going to solder the adapter directly to a PCB, but if you want to put it in a socket, you might want to check first if you can get the right kind of pins.

Hiya, i am new to this forum but not new to playing tennis, i have been playing for about 2 years and own an rdx 300 which i absolutely love, i will give a short review of it so maybe you can understand my problem. Serving: Well this racket took me quite a while to get used to, so if some of you go and demo it play with it for a long time to see if you can get used to it. Serving with this racket was not incredibly easy, but not incredibly hard, at first i was not used to the weight and stiffness of the racket so i thought it felt a bit weird when i lifted it over my head to hit the ball. But like i said before, once i got used to it that was not a problem, my only problem now is the speed, i find it hard to generate a lot of speed, my serves are very flat but for people who add spin to their serves will love this racket. Forehand: I love hitting forehands with this racket because i feel that it has pinpoint accuracy. I also find that this racket is perfect for deep shots, everytime i think the ball is going out it bites the line. Top spin is also easily generated for those who use it. But the problem i have is that i find it hard to finish off a ralley, i seem to hit the ball really hard but the ball does not travel as fast as i would like it to. Backhand: I am not sure what this racket is like with a one-handed backhand, but i find it a dream with the two-hander. Backhand slices to tend to float unless you slice it with a fast swing. The backhand speed is perfect because unlike my forehand, i dont expect it to produce that much power, but still produces more power than some of my friends forehands. Volleys: I do not really tend to go to the net so i cant give that detailed an opinion on this aspect, i find volleying hard but i truley think that is just because i am not that good at it. Ok, so my problem is basically with my serve and forehand, i have tried to change how i serve but that didnt help, and i definately think i can get more power on my serves with this racket. I find my self at the baseline hitting deep shots and waiting for my opponent to make a mistake, because i find it hard to finish off a rally with a drilling shot. The way i am thinking of solving this is by changing my strings, because i have very basic yonex ones, i would love strings that gave me the extra power i need but i am not sure what ones to get, i was thinking of the big banger originals, but i will maybe let you guys/girls decide. Also will adding lead tape help my problem. Cheers for any help and sorry if this is meant to be in string section
And welcome to these boards... however I just went for an RDS003 myself. String looser - try 54lbs or 55. Looser strings gives more of a catapult to your groundstrokes. You will also find that it catches the ball longer in your serve, the ball will really fly hard if your timing is good. You will be able to add a bit more spin with looser strings. Try Wilson NXTfor a nice soft string with lots of feel. You're getting stuck too long in baseline rallies waiting for mistakes. An RDS003 gives good angles. Start working your opponents side to side. An RDS can do a good touch drop shot - brings your opponent to the net, then lob them. Take the ball earlier, step inside the court - you reduce their time to get to your shot and it will seem as if you just hit harder. The RDS003 is slower through the serve arc. It has good proper heft. Practice your serve outside of a game, by yourself, with a bucket of balls, do 1 hour at least. Practice the 3 basic serves: flat, slice and kick. You need them all. The RDS is very good at kick serves. Follow a kick serve to the net. Volley an angle, not straight. You have good neutralising depth on your groundtrokes but now you need more variation. The RDS003 is the right racquet to do all this. If you want power only maybe try a more aggressive racquet - thinner beam, smaller head size, more demanding. The RDS003 in stock form is a very responsive stick.You have to experiment with strings. We all do. Continually. Try lead for sure you'll soon find out. Here's some more words on the RDS003 my review after a first hit http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?p=1081930#post1081930
RDX 300 is a cracking stick - very similar to the rds 003. I prefer the RDX 300 though. Try stringing it at a lower tension. If you want to spend the $ go for gut / gut hybrid (i use Klip Xplosiv) go with that. If you want something a bit cheaper i really like Yonex 850 & $9 a set is a bargain!! String it at 56 mains 54 crosses and you will notice a difference. If you still want a bit more you can use some lead but be sure not to ruin the balance of your racket.
Cheers for the replies, yea i think i will stick with the rdx300 but will lower tension.I like the idea of having soft strings but do the wilson NXT's have that extra power that im looking for? So would it be better to have a different tension in the mains and crosses? .The klip explosives also look quite good, onkystomper have you used them? I know this is in the racket section but would anyone suggest any other strings that would give me extra power, just to hear other peoples opinions. Cheers.
Add some lead a centimeter or so from the bottom of the throat and u'll automatically hit better serves and fh's

At our house, I'm the breakfast guy. One day when my daughter, Myah, was 4, I turned her meal into a face-two fried eggs for the eyes, toast cut diagonally for the ears, turkey bacon for the smiley mouth, and grated cheese for the nose. She got such a kick out of it that I do it all the time now. I use cereal, fruit, and different food colorings to make her meals look like characters from her favorite movies. She used to eat only eggs for breakfast, but these days she cleans her plate every time.

I've always found rewards to be more effective than threats. So I put my 7-year-old triplets, Austin, Grant, and Sabrina, on an incentive system. The kids helped me put together a chore list, and now for every task they do-whether it's getting ready for school by themselves or putting their clothes away-they get a penny. At the end of the week, I give them an allowance based on how much they did. The great thing is, even when I get lax about the list for a while, they keep doing their chores, because they've gotten into the habit.

I picked up a pocket AM/FM radio when my daughter, Avery, was a newborn. Tuned to static, it filters out sound in the house. When I turned it on at naptime, she'd close her eyes right away. And after she fell asleep on me, I'd pop in the little headphones and catch up on the news. We also keep the radio on in her room at night as a source of white noise.

By the time my son, Vic, was 5 months old, we had exhausted our repertoire of baby songs to soothe him. One day, in a moment of desperation, I sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" to him in a soft, heartfelt manner worthy of the founding fathers. It must have stirred his budding patriotism, because for the next two months, every time I started singing the national anthem he quieted down.

It was always a battle to get my 3-year-old daughter, Sarah, to stop what she was doing and move on to the next activity. I wear a digital watch, and one day I told her, "Okay, we have five more minutes at the playground. When my watch beeps, that means we're done." To my amazement, when the alarm went off Sarah was focused on the watch, not on my saying it was time to go. It works to this day. My wife uses this trick too-but because she has a traditional watch, she just makes the beeping noises herself when time's up.

It was hard to get each of my boys-Jonathan, 6, Alexander, 4, and Mark, 2-to sleep at night when they were small. They'd cry for what felt like an eternity when we left their room. So I came up with this routine: I read to them and put them to bed. Then I slowly paced in and out of their room while reading my newspaper. The first few times when I walked out, they'd cry. But once they realized I'd be back in a few seconds, they'd calm down. Over the course of ten days, I'd gradually walk farther and farther away so that it took a little longer to return each time. By the end, I just didn't come back. I wore a hole in the carpet doing this, but it worked for all three boys-and I got my reading done too.

When I used to drop off my daughters, Madeline and Emma, with the sitter, they'd get very upset. To ease the transition, I'd make up a new story every morning. I'd tell them the first half on the ride to the sitter, then promise to finish it on the way home if they were good about letting me leave. The only problem was remembering what the story was about for the whole day. But I always managed to make my way through it.

My 5-year-old son, Donovan, used to resist getting dressed. About a year ago, I started playing this game: I say, "Donovan, whatever you do, don't put on your shirt. When I look at you, I don't want to see a shirt on your body!" Then when I turn away, he laughs, quickly puts it on, and says, "Dad, look at me!" I give him an exaggerated response like, "Oh, no! I can't believe you did that!" He gets a big kick out of it, and it lets us get on with our day.
-Bob Hugel; Maplewood, N.J.
My 1-year-old daughter, Edana, never stops wiggling on the changing table, so I came up with a way to occupy her. Since she loves to talk on the phone, one day I pretended to get a call on her foot. I held it to my ear, handed it to her, and said, "It's for you." She babbled into her foot for a while, then gave it back to me so I could chat some more. We do it all the time now. I get a new diaper on her much faster-plus, with her feet up, it's easy to wipe her butt.
-Greg Jakubowski; Topeka, Kans.
We used to have trouble getting Joshua, 5, to sleep. One night, I hid his teddy bears under the covers. He loved the surprise, and now it's turned into a nightly ritual. I hide books or other things in his bed, or I'll move things around in his room. I always give him three clues about what I've done before he enters, then I let him look. He loves bedtime now.

***Disclosure: I received an all-expense paid trip to Hollywood to cover various Disney/ABC events. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***
But it's my last interview for "Million Dollar Arm" that had me laughing the most. You just know you're in for a great time when Aasif Mandvi walks into a room. You know it's going to be an even better time when he refers to you as a "MILF-y Blogger." Come on now...We didn't have THAT good of a time, though I doubt too many of the ladies would have argued! It's not every day you're called a MILF by a movie star!
Anyway, you may know the super-talented and hilarious Mr. Mandvi from "The Daily Show". He also plays Aash, J.B. Bernstein's best friend and business partner in "Million Dollar Arm".
Here are Aasif's thoughts on going from being a Street Performer many years ago to actually landing a role in a Disney major motion picture:
AASIF MANDVI : I was a Street Performer at the Disney/MGM Studios, and now I was in a Disney Movie so it's a very, very different experience. There's less Catering involved. You don't get a Trailer, you don't get Catering, you know, Make up and Hair, nothing. No, it was great. Disney, the -- the MGM Studios was my first job out of College so it was kind of, um, an amazing experience. It was my first professional acting job, you know, and it was really fun.
We opened the MGM Studios back in '89 and sort of did these Street performing Characters and so it was a great place to learn Comedy and learn Improv and stuff like that. So it was amazing, you know. I hope this is not where I end but it's where I started, you know. So yeah, it came full circle, right?
AASIF MANDVI : No I'd never heard of this. I'm also not a huge Sports guy so I didn't know about the story at all. I heard about it because I know the real life Aash. We have mutual friends. And then there was this whole thing of like Oh, there's this Movie being made called "Million Dollar Arm" with these two-- And Aash was the guy who got them to America. And then I learned that my friend Asch was involved in making this Movie. That's how I found out about it, you know.
I think he's funny but he's also the grounding Character, you know. He's the one that sort of is the counter point to Jon Hamm's sort of Playboy Lothario Character. I like that aspect of it. I also feel like it was an interesting Character to see -- a South Asian Sports Agent because I don't know any, you know. I'm sure there are but it was sort of an interesting Character to play somebody I never played before. I felt that was kind of fun. And then I got to work with Jon Hamm every day who is dreamy so... [LAUGHTER] so you know, I got do that, you know.
AASIF MANDVI : Oh the Twins. OK, so they had two sets of Twins. So it wasn't the same, but you can't tell because they're Indian and probably look alike. [LAUGHTER] But if you watch closely, you see that they're actually two sets of different Twins. The Twins that I'm feeding in the Kitchen are not the same Twins that I'm holding on the Porch.
So we've got two sets of Indian Parents who have these two sets of Twins and they're sort of hiding off in the corner. And the kids would just cry. They would just cry. The scene was not about these kids crying, and -- Craig Gillespie the Director, he was like, you know, kids cry. So let him just cry because there's no way we can stop them from crying. So we just used it. So Craig's theory was like every time we see Aash and his children, his children are just screaming. And that's just the reality of his life. So in the bed, they're crying. They weren't supposed to be crying. In the Kitchen, they're crying.
And then, the piece de resistance is that on the Porch, the kids were again, crying and I'm supposed to be holding them, and the kid is literally screaming for his Mother. He's just like, I don't care about your stupid Movie, I want to be with my Mom. So I said to Craig, I said Listen, I can't do this anymore. This kid is like, there's snot coming out of him and he's crying. He's just a mess, you know. And Craig was like, Listen we have, we've got to get this shot, OK? We need this shot. Just let the kid cry. I don't care. Just grab him, walk out onto the porch, we get the shot, we're done. We're out of here. So I'm like Fine, OK. So they roll Action, I grab this kid, it's like pulling cheese off a Pizza.
It's literally like I grab this kid. He's holding on to me, the hair, the thing, and I grab him like Come on, Come on Sweetie, come on. And we go running on to the Porch and I'm standing there getting the shot. I'm shaking him and then suddenly he looks at me and just puked. [LAUGHTER] And it's just all over my clothes. Twice, he did it twice. And it's in the Movie. And you can see it. So like it's totally real. Like and -- and you see me go from being a Character in a Movie to being an Actor who just got puked on. I take the kid, I'm holding him out here like -- like an Actor who's suddenly been puked on and the kid is just puking. There's puke everywhere. It's all in my clothes, in my hair. But we got the shot. Yeah.
AASIF MANDVI : It was really actually fun going to India and shooting because you know, having been born there and have family there and have visited India many times, it's a whole different experience when you go with an American Film Crew to India. It's actually the best way to see India is to be in the bubble of a big Hollywood Production. You don't have to deal with any riff raff going around, you know, in an Air Conditioned car and stuff. But it was great, it was like that was actually kind of just experientially, it was just like an amazing experience to go to India. I got to visit family.
I got to see the Taj Mahal, which I've always wanted to and never had. And now I got to do it on Disney's dime so you know, so it was kind of great. Yeah.
AASIF MANDVI : I don't know how it'll impact people in India. I'll be curious to see that. I mean, I think the stuff has an emotional element to it. You know, there's sort of an Indian kind of pride sort of thing about it, you know. But I don't know how people will take to it. I know like for example, when "Slumdog Millionaire" came out, a lot of people in India didn't like the movie, you know. They were sort of like, Oh this is India for Western people. And sometimes there's a kind of exoticization, exoticization, is that even a word?
An exoticism of India, you know what I mean, of like the Poverty, etc. But I think this Movie actually takes a really great sort of realistic approach to what it is, like that scene with Vivek and -- and JB in the office where he's talking about like where the Posters and the t-shirts were-- That is so the experience of the average Indian person in India. Its a Middle Class Indian person's life in India, which is like dealing with the bureaucracy and the sort of red tape of like the system. You know what I mean? Everything in India that is sort of like, makes it harder than it really should be, you know?
So I think there's interesting sort of observations about India that are very true in this Film. So I'll be curious to see how it plays to the Masses over there.
Aasif Mandvi: It's a very sort of American Dream kind of story and so I think that the idea of possibility. I was talking to Rinku about it, you know, the real Rinku, and I was saying like 'do you feel like proud' or you know what I mean? He was kind of philosophical about it and he kind of was like, you know, I don't, like cause it's just what happened to me. 'Like I just, you know, I went to this Audition and this thing happened and it — it is a story for the world but it is not really like– For me, it's just my life, it's just what happened and now what I'm really interested in, is being the best Baseball Player that I can be.' You know, so he's really focused on sort of just being a Baseball Player. This whole sort of inspirational story that happened is really kind of the stuff that Movies are made of.
AASIF MANDVI : I'm actually doing an HBO Series called "The Brink". In this series, I work with Jack Black and Tim Robbins. That will come out next year. It's good. It's a comedy about the End of the world and sort of like the brink being like the world is on the brink of Armageddon. It's a Geo-Political Comedy. It's sort of like seen through the eyes of 3 Departments of US Government so State Department, Foreign Service, and the Military but it's a Comedy. And it's a half hour. So it's sort of like Dr. Strangelove.
It's nice -- it's nice cause like the stuff I have done on the Daily Show for years is sort of in that vein of clearly, you know, satirical Political sort of stuff. And so this is kind of in keeping with that stuff but it's from a Narrative standpoint. So I'm working on that. And I have a book coming out at the end of the year. So you guys can all blog about that. The book is called "No Land's Man" and it's basically stories of my life from growing up as a kid in England to like moving to Florida and being a High School Student in Florida and then coming to New York, and my career. So it's sort of essays, humorous essays that are kind of Sedarisesque sort of stories. So that's coming out in November.
If you haven't been introduced to the awesomeness that is Aasif Mandvi, definitely check him out in Disney's "Million Dollar Arm". I think you'll love his portrayal of Aash, and if not, you'll at least get to see him get puked on by angry children. It's a win-win situation.

Eliza spent her childhood being bundled about from India to Scotland to England. Born in 1820 and taken to India as a baby, she was separated from her widowed mother at the age of six and sent to Scotland to live with her new stepfather's family. A very beautiful child, she was also remarkable for her "vanity and lies", according to a family friend, Sir Jasper Nicolls, who was deputised to find her a school. When she eloped, aged 17, from the Ladies Boarding Academy in Bath with a Lieutenant James, 15 years her senior, Nicolls wrote in his journal, under the heading "Wretch Gilbert": "I am not a bad prophet as to the figure which young people will make in life ... she has started very badly." A few months later, he added, with relish: "a kind stepfather has lavished pounds 1,000 on [the] child's education & the dirty ungracious whelp has thrown it all away on the first man she met." This was to be a pattern: for every man she bewitched, she filled another - less gallant, or perhaps more clear-eyed - with revulsion.
In her memoirs Lola wrote that "The child sought only a protector but she found a master." Disillusion was swift, though she accompanied her husband back to India where mother and daughter, the vivacious Mrs Craigie and Mrs James, charmed the bored officers' wives. Her mother proved no support when she left James, however, telling her to return to Britain or get back to her husband. On the lengthy sea-journey to Southampton, the rebellious Eliza struck up a scandalous friendship with a young aristocrat, George Lennox, visiting his cabin alone and lingering with him on the poop deck when all the ladies had retired after dinner. So infuriated was the Captain that he barred Mrs James from his table. Surrounded by peeping eyes, the couple perhaps enjoyed putting on a show: the cabin door swung open rather too often to reveal Lennox lacing Eliza's stays or watching as she rolled up her stockings.
Once in London, Eliza resisted all attempts by her stepfather's family to remove her to Scotland. Instead, she shared a hotel room with Lennox, then moved to fashionable Half Moon St, a kept woman and striking new figure in society. But the affair faltered, and Eliza retreated to digs in the Hornsey Road. News of the scandal had filtered back to Lieutenant James and he wanted a divorce; the laws of the time left neither party free to remarry. At 19, she was a woman with a past, a near-untouchable in Victorian society. Her next move was spectacular: she decamped to Spain, where Eliza Gilbert James disappeared forever, and Lola Montez was born. Incredibly, this English-speaking, untrained dancer reinvented herself as a Spanish aristocrat's daughter with an imperious manner, a fondness for hand-rolled cigarettes and a repertoire of traditional dances.
At this point, Seymour's infatuation with his subject becomes clear: referring to her as "the fair Spaniard", he shows himself as willing as Lola's early, powerful protectors to enter the game. Lola was in fact a perfectly modern character, with her fluctuating identity, frequent switches of career - writer, lecturer, actress - her self-promotion, and her ability to check out of reality at will. By falling for her, Seymour absolves himself of the need to explain her.
There is a tiresome, strident quality to Lola's continuous and belligerent self-justification and lies. Unmasked almost immediately after her debut at Her Majesty's Theatre, she began what was to be a lifelong stream of outraged and mendacious correspondence to the newspapers: "I am a native of Seville ... when I was 10 years old [I] was sent to a Catholic lady of Bath, where I remained seven months ... From that period until 14th of April last ... I never set foot in this country and I never saw London before in my life." A rare outbreak of altruism shows Lola performing a benefit for a young playwright; shortly afterwards she left Britain for Europe, shrewd enough to realise that her slender talents, even coupled with a knack for scandal, could not support high ticket prices in one place for long.
On the road she attached herself to Liszt, then enjoying pop-star acclaim, met Wagner (who was not impressed) and, in a hilarious episode, flouted a pompous German princeling in his own court. A Berlin critic wrote: "Her dancing ... was no dancing at all but a physical invitation." The most talked- about number was the "Spider Dance", in which a village girl in a tight bodice discovers a poisonous spider in her voluminous skirts and attempts to shake, stamp and wiggle it free, finally crushing it beneath her feet. Clearly the performance was more or less saucy, according to the house. There were tales of Lola kicking off her garters into the pit, though a sour American critic much later in her career witnessed a more tawdry spectacle: "She flounces about like a stuck pig and clenches her short clothes, raising them nearly to her waist, while with a thin, scrawny leg, she keeps up a constant thumping upon the stage, as if she was in a slight spasm."
Despite her lack of Terpsichorean ability, all agreed on her beauty, which seems chiefly to have been a matter of dramatic colouring: clear skin, blue eyes, black hair. The photographs reproduced in this book show a sharp-featured Lola in later life, careworn and a little too cunning to be beautiful. The image on the title-page gives just a hint of her distinction: with short, swept-back hair, arching brows and large, febrile eyes, she looks rather like Fiona Shaw.
After many adventures, thrillingly recounted by Seymour (his description of the duel which killed her Parisian journalist lover is masterly), she wound up at the court of Ludwig I of Bavaria, where she and the deaf old king conversed in garbled Spanglish. For a courtesan she seems to have slept with the king very few times - Seymour tots them up like a jealous lover - and their correspondence is full of her fearful grumblings about pregnancy and Ludwig's keen interest in her menstrual periods.
Meanwhile, her insolent behaviour, flamboyant spending of the king's money and temper tantrums adjacent to mania had made her a loathed figure in Munich. This was 1848, the year revolution swept Europe, and the figure of Lola Montez came to be seen as an icon of political change; this was ironic, since she was always demanding that the king clamp down on his unruly subjects. After being run out of town on several occasions, she was finally forced to leave Bavaria when the king's troops could barely protect her from the mob. Ludwig abdicated with the fond hope of spending more time with Lola, now Countess of Landsfeld, but had to content himself with being sent pieces of flannel worn next to designated parts of her body, and letters which made his jajaro erect: "You can besar with great gusto and pleasure. My heart is yours, my cuno too, and all of me."
However, most of her letters were exclusively pecuniary; this, and the discovery of her constant affairs with soldiers and student agitators eventually disillusioned the king. She drifted back to London, still loudly demanding her royal pension while clumsily trying to hide her marriage to a wealthy young army officer, George Trafford Heald. The inconvenient longevity of Lieutenant James, and her own notoriety, landed her in court on a bigamy charge. Skipping to the continent, she soon drained Heald of money and her later years were one long world tour, taking in a final marriage of two months' duration to a journalist in San Francisco. Before dying of a stroke at 40 in New York, Lola seems finally to have freed herself from obsessive fantasising, living a quieter life, collecting exotic animals, studying the Bible and sharing the era's interest in spiritualism. It's a relief for the reader after all the screaming, gnashing, dagger- brandishing and whip-wielding of earlier chapters.
Seymour rarely strays into the "she must have felt ... it must have seemed" style of biography, and only occasionally risks an analysis of Lola's impenetrable states of mind. Like Wallerstein, one of Ludwig's ministers, he seems to regard her as having "absolutely no responsibility for her own acts". Seymour has dug up source material of extraordinary quality; all thanks to a huge win on the American TV game-show Jeopardy, which enabled him to become "an independent scholar" following in Lola's footsteps and designating himself, quaintly or camply, as her final victim.

Visitors to a long term care facility in the north end of Edmonton are being turned away due to a viral outbreak.
According to a sign on the door of the Extendicare Eaux Claires, residents have been suffering from an outbreak of the Norovirus.
Gary and Laurie Clayton were told they could not deliver Christmas presents to their friend due to the outbreak.
"She said it's a gastronal outbreak," Gary said.
He was also told not to spread the word to any media.
"They said 'no the media has to have the right information first."
Management of the faculty told CTV News that 11 cases of the virus were still ongoing as of Saturday. That is down from the 35 cases the residence saw in total.
Laurie said she was disappointed not to be able to see her friend.
"A little frustrated," she said. "We came from kind of far away."
Family members will be allowed to visit for Christmas, management said, but not in the private rooms.
Officials said there have been 22 suspected or confirmed cases of Norovirus in Edmonton since November 1st. Last year at this time there were 50 cases.

Harney's Holiday Catalog
Now here's a first. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first time I can ever remember seeing this type of teapot, a Japanese kyusu teapot, on the cover of the Harney & Sons tea catalog. "Great for brewing senchas, but it will work with any tea," says the blurb. But you know what *I* want? It's that cute little (was it 2-cup?) silver teapot they had a few years back that sold out almost immediately. Ah, well.
If I hadn't bought gifts from so many tea vendors already, I would be inclined to purchase the "White Christmas Gift" on the back cover of the new catalog. This White Christmas Tea is "a blend of Mutan White tea with vanilla, almond and cardamom flavors. The tea is accented with white chamomile flowers." I don't really need any more tea gifts, but I would like some of this tea myself to enjoy over Christmas.
Have any of you tried their White Christmas Tea? I'd love to hear your review. In fact, anyone want to recommend ANY Christmas tea you've tried and enjoyed? I've been perfectly happy with the Celestial Seasonings Christmas blends, and one year I found Stash Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning teabags which I tucked into Christmas cards for tea friends. Anyone else?
5 comments:
I personally like Twinings Christmas tea. It is available in both loose tea and bags. It's a blend of black tea with cinnamon and cloves. I've personally never seen it in stores, but the stores near me leave much to be desired as far as tea selection. I've always ordered it directly from Twinings USA or purchased it while on vacation at Epcot.

Ironically my sister is staying with me for a few days and we thought we would get in the Christmas mood as we decorated. We brewed some White Christmas tea. It smells heavenly and tastes delicious. I love the tea container it is so festive and love the play on words "White" (tea) Christmas. Order some and enjoy for yourself! :)
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 29, 2007 at 2:22 PM
Forgot to mention it tastes similar to Harney & Sons Wedding tea.
ReplyDelete Once upon a time, in the days of the "personal home page", I had one. :-) I also created a special page for the various brands of Christmas/Holiday teas that I became aware of. Used to keep it updated. Perhaps I'll try to do that...in the meantime, feel free to visit for inspiration!

British Empire Exhibitions 1924-1925
The British Empire Exhibition opened in 1924 at Wembley in north London. It was a huge spectacle that ran for two summer seasons and attracted millions of visitors. Built from scratch on a greenfield site, the exhibition was a showcase for goods and produce from the Empire countries. Visitor attractions included an amusement park, a stadium for mass entertainments, and the world's first bus station.
The idea of a great exhibition to celebrate Empire trade had been conceived as far back as 1913. In 1922, the government provided the funding for it to go ahead. The site chosen was Wembley Park in northwest London. It was criticised by some for being too far out of town, but it had good rail links: over 100 stations in the London area were within 18 minutes' journey time. A new 'motor-omnibus station' was erected, designed to deal with over 100,000 passengers a day.
Construction began in January 1922 and the first building to be completed was Wembley Stadium. Its first event was the 1923 F.A. Cup. The site also included hundreds of buildings, an amusement park, ornamental lake, reservoir, outfall sewer, railway lines and roads, all built from the new modern material - concrete. The first words transmitted over the radio by a British sovereign were spoken at the opening ceremony on 23 April 1924.

I don't know
I don't know what's on your mind
I thought everything was fine
But it was my surprise.
I don't know
I don't know what's going on
Something surely must be wrong
Youre living secret lives.
Living secret lives, secret lives
And I wonder where she goes to in the night
In secret lives.
Wish I knew
Wish I knew where I fit in
Wish that I knew everything
About your secret lives.
If it means
If it means that much to you
I don't want to stop the things you do
I don't need alibis.
Repeat chorus
I don't care
I don't care what goes on there
So long as one day I can share
Share your secret lives.
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
Secret lives, secret lives
Secret lives, secret lives...

1983 Actress Academy Award winner Shirley MacLaine (Terms Of Endearment) is both harebrained and all wise as Gittel Mosca - the Greenwich Village free spirit with a heart of gold. Robert Mitchum is successfully cast against his usual tough-guy type as the square Nebraska lawyer running from a painful divorce. Together they make the worlds most unlikely and touchingly funny couple in this bittersweet romantic comedy of opposites attracting. The film was showered with rave notices and became an instant hit with audiences everywhere. A definite must-see for MacLaine and Mitchum fans and for everyone who likes their love stories spicy and poignant.

American Black Bear
American Black Bear Temporal range: early Pleistocene[source?]– recent |
American Black Bear | |
Conservation status | |
Scientific classification | |
Kingdom: | Animalia |
Phylum: | Chordata |
Class: | Mammalia |
Order: | Carnivora |
Family: | Ursidae |
Genus: | Ursus |
Species: | U. americanus |
Binomial name | |
Ursus americanus Pallas, 1780 |
The American black bear (scientific name Ursus americanus[1]) is North America's smallest and most common species of bear. Black bears are omnivores (eating both meat and plants). Black bears usually live in forested areas, but do leave forests in search of food. Sometimes they become attracted to human activity due to a lack of food. The American black bear is listed by the IUCN as Least Concern, because the species has a large global population estimated to be twice that of all other bear species combined.[2] In the past century, only 37 people have been killed by these animals.
American black bears usually hibernate during winter. During this time, the black bear's metabolism and heart rate both decrease in relation to one another.[3] In fact, during hibernation, an American black bear's heart can stop for twenty seconds.[3] The body temperature of black bears also decreases to 31 °C (88 °F) during hibernation.[4] When hibernation is over, the black bear's body temperature returns to normal.

The paint is OMNI (Cheaper PPG Line) Acryllic Enamel with a medium reducer, hardener and 70' dry heat (wood heat). I got it to lay almost perfect but has slight orange peel to the point where I feel like I should cut and buff. I think I'm going to sand and see what happens just to satisfy my curiosity. If it don't work I'll just give it one more quick coat.The dry time on the tech sheet says:
Between Coats: 5-10 minutes@ 70'F Air dry: Dust: 30 minutes Tack: 1-2 hours Tape: 4 hours Dry: 16 hours @ 70'F At the bottom of the dry times category it says "IR 10-15 MINUTES. What is "IR" How long should I wait on enamel before sanding? 3-4 days?? |
Force dry time under infrared I believe. I'd wait at least a day or so if it is activated. Without an activator probably longer, and don't think I would try buffing without an activator. Haven't used it in awhile so don't really remember. I have used omni ss before and know I waited longer between coats then 10 min. It still looks about the same as when it was painted over 4 years ago, no loss of adhesion, other then rust that is coming back through it still looks nice. The omni I used was MOU.

acrylic enamel
i have painted acrylic enamel since the early 70's. i sit down the other day and counted over 45 cars that i painted.
i would give the car 2 to 3 color coats, and then hit it with a wet coat with retarder added, untill i would get a glass finish. i would wait between coats , touch the paper for tack, and then go around with a tack rag and gently remove any thing that would hurt the finish. i always used hardner in the paint. i always painted in the early morning hours in the summer days, dew on the ground outside, and the bugs were still not out. i wouldn't paint in the winters, i had an open shop, and always used drop clothes for a booth, to section off my paint area. |
Yeah I waited 20 min. between final 2 coats. Does waiting longer between coats necessarily mean the next coat could be heavier for better flow? My tech sheet says to add 10 percent retarder to RTS quart, what's "RTS". Do I add 10 percent retarder to what my mix is?? That glass finish is what I'm after, one of these times I'm going to get it I am under the assumption that with retarder I can spray a heavier flow coat or not??? I'm going to post a pic of how my hood turned out. I just painted the hood but when I paint the rest of the truck I'm going to do it one fender and door at a time so I can pratice with the retarder. It might not all match but it's just a guinee pig,,,,,er i mean,,,,work truck

When I use retarder I use a lot less thinner.
I don't want a thinner paint, I want a wetter paint. With adding more thinner you get less coverage and it runs easier, Especially when you're trying to cover. With retarder, you can substitute the retarder for most of the thinner and still spray it "full bodied", not over thinned so you don't get the runs. With retarder the paint will stay wet and flow out so you actually spray a lighter coat and it will all melt together. again, to me it's like spraying oil, keeping thicker than over thinned paint and leveling out. I use way more retarder than recommended, but it works for me. I use so much that I just mist on the last coat, spraying half the usual amount of paint and increasing my distance back when spraying. The control is unbelievable, probably not the recommended way but a friend of mine did the side of a school bus this way and kept the entire side wet before he finished spraying, it looked great. |
No, a retarder and reducer are two different things.
And labeled accordingly. A retarder for enamel is different that one for urethane. The retarder I use is a universal one for lacquer and enamel but not anything else. I also have one for urethane clear that I got from my jobber. The painters use it a lot when the temps are way up there, like upper 90's. I haven't used it enough to have an opinion on it yet. |
acrylic enamel
a beginner may want to use a viscometer in reducing their paint. a viscometer is a small handle cup with a hole in the bottom. after adding thinner to your paint, you submerge the cup in the paint and time how many seconds it takes the paint to run out of the cup. when you later add retarder to the mixed paint on your finish coats, the time should not be more than 3 seconds less than when you did the first coat. after a few paint jobs , you may not have to rely on the viscometer. you can get one at your local jobber or at sears. that is how i taught my younger brother, when he first started painting.
Yes, the viscosity of the paint is important. One of the typical gadgets
to measure it is called a "Ford cup" Or "zahn cup" (I think). This is an issue that has been discussed at great length here before. Most agree as long as you mix according to the mfg instructions you will have it right. That is why I said I use retarder in place of some of the reducer. The final mix is the same reduction rate, or viscosity. If anything, when using retarder I mix it a little thicker, not thinner. Example: If 16 oz of paint calls for 4 oz of reducer, I'll mix 16 oz of paint with 2 oz reducer and 2 oz retarder for the last coat. But the overall mix is the same reduction, or pretty close. You don't want to over reduce your paint with retarder. |
I sprayed a lot of Centari back in the late '80s and thru the '90s, and never had a problem with the finish and flow out. I always used overal gloss hardner (793 if memory serves) and never had to buff or colorsand. The only problem would be with your reds, because they would start fading in a couple of years if out in the sun much.
I still occasionaly use Centari, mostly for quick jobs on older vehicles that I refurbish for resale. I've found that there is money in older (10 years or so) cars geared towards school kids or poorer familys. If you can buy them right, do a quility but low cost job and have a product that is clean and looks good you'll come out alright and also make the customer happy. My paint of choice is Dupont Chroma System, and use this exclusivly on customer jobs in the shop. If your doing collision work BC/CC is the way to go because it's the same as what comes from the factory and it's easy to blend panels when you get to spray clear over the whole blended panel. As for doing jobs too cheaply, I would suggest getting a tax number so you can bid on insurance jobs, and also getting a subscription to something like "Mitchells" which will give you industry standard times for repairs, and follow the times. I charge $45 hr on Insurance jobs, and in a lot of cases will waive the customers deductable if the numbers add up. This makes the customer feel like the repair is free because nothing comes out of his pocket, and I come out good because my shop is on my acreage and my overhead is low. If you get a tax number and start doing insurance jobs be prepared to deal with a few A-Hole ajusters. I had one a while back from GMAC and decided I will not do jobs insured by them again unless the customer knows up front that if their insurer jacks me they will make up the differance. Powerstroke |

On second thought, I bet the people at the Washington School Information Processing Cooperative would like to know exactly what you've been doing with the school's computer. Last edited by Centerline; 01-12-2006 at 06:23 PM. |
RTS= ready to spray. Basically paint that is already reduced and the right viscosity. So I take that is you would measure out your paint, reducer and hardener in the right ratios, and then you can add up to 1 tenth (10%) of that amount of retarder. So say your total mixed up paint comes to 32 oz which equals a quart, then add up to 3.2 oz of retarder or just move your decimal 32.0 oz over one place for 10 percent, or times 32 x.10= 3.2. Just a little math lesson, not only do you have to play chemist, you have to understand math in this business also.
