My Favourite Kitchen Kit
Over the years, I've gradually accumulated bits of kitchen kit, until right now I'm at the stage that I can honestly say I have pretty much everything I need or want…. Except, of course, a KitchenAid mixer (preferably in black, in case anyone wants to send me one), or just maybe a Thermomix. But apart from that, I'm very happy with what I've got.
Out of all this gear, I thought it might be interesting to pick out my absolute favourite pieces of equipment and tell you why I love these particular things. So, let's get cracking and talk about knives.
I reckon the best investment you can possibly make in terms of kitchen equipment is a decent set of knives. Yes, they're expensive but the pleasure of using a beautifully balanced; razor sharp blade is almost indescribable. If nothing else, you'll feel more cheffy using them, your food will look better and you'll generally be considered more sexy by everyone you know*. True until you get the hang of using them, you'll probably hack and slash your fingers to bloody ribbons, but this is ultimately how you learn the hard way not to chop your digits off. I bought a set of Global knives about 8 years ago, and I've pretty much used them everyday and it's the best couple of hundred quid I've ever spent. I probably use the 20cm G2 cook's knife most often, followed by the snub-nosed looking GS5 Vegetable Chopper and the Bread Knife.
But, after many years of exclusive Global love, I was gifted a knife which is currently my absolute favourite. It's a Haiku H-15 20cm fluted Chef's Knife. It's bloody awesome, savagely sharp and ridiculously light. It's a real pleasure to use. I absolutely love it and if I had the cash, I'd buy some more of the range.
It almost goes without saying, but it's not worth stumping up the moolah for all those expensive knives if you let them get as blunt as assholes. So don't forget to buy the kit to sharpen them. You'll need a decent steel and something like a Minosharp to keep everything uber razorish.
My next favourite piece of equipment is at the other end of the price scale. A potato ricer. I am a complete mash fiend. I absolutely love it. Always have, always will. Its generally accepted wisdom that mashed potato with lumps through it is a frigging disgrace. Which is where the potato ricer comes in. If you want silky luscious Robuchon'esque mash, squeeze your potatoes through a ricer (oh, and add a artery clogging amount of butter too). Even as you keel over, clutching your chest the satisfaction you'll get that your mash was lump free will make it all worthwhile. Expect to pay around £15 for a decent one.
Next up, A Le Creuset Grill Pan. It's ridiculously heavy cast-iron, but as we all know, heaviness equals quality err ness. If you want to chargrill sexy black lines in your meat, you must have one of these. Don't be tempted by cheap ass imitators, if it isn't sack of cement heavy, it's a heap of shit. It's worth the price alone for the ability to char-grill bread, which is frigging awesome stuff. Priced at around £58 to you guv.
I actually won this next bit of kit in a competition, which is handy because I'd been admiring it for some time. A Thermapen is an instant read kitchen thermometer. It has no confusing settings or buttons for stupid people like me. Just stick the metal probe into whatever you want to know the temperature of and et voila! To be honest, you don't 'need' a kitchen thermometer but it's so handy to have one. You know, when you really have to ensure that you're not going to give your dinner party guests food poisoning by serving up half cooked chicken. I've found it most useful for cooking things like crème anglaise. Can I just add, the first thing I ever probed with it, was my own ear. Not to be recommended, oh and apparently I'm 'well done'. One of these will set you back £48.
I found my moulis is a charity shop for £2. I love that it looks a bit retro with its shiny red knob (errrr). It's battered to hell but has character. Handy for soups or anything, where you want to puree but at the same time stop any seeds, pulp or skins getting into the finished product. It's not an essential piece of kitchen equipment by any means, but is something I particularly like.
Finally, my newest and perhaps my most coveted piece of kit, I give you a Magimix. I wanted one of these for years and years. I wanted to slice and shred veg in seconds so very much that it almost ached my very soul. Last year, I finally got one. I am now complete. Yes, it's a pain in the arse to wash up but if you're making red onion soup for thirty six and need to slice up seventy two red onions, it comes into it's own. It's so useful; I don't know how I ever managed without it. I own the white model, which isn't quite as sexy as chrome, but obviously realising this, Magimix slyly charge a premium for the sexier metallic version. Expect to pay around £160 for a white one.
So that's my favourite pieces of cooking equipment. I'd be interested to hear which kitchen kit you consider indispensable? What can't you live without? Perhaps you love a particular vegetable peeler for sentimental reasons?

Have to agree with you as I have the exact same set of Global knives myself. Love the sharpening stone too. I am interested in the Haiku knives, like the sound of it being lightweight & super sharp .
Am a huge Magimix & Kitchenaid fan but have never owned ricer or mouli as I am just not into my mash like you.
All I would add is silicone spatulas and a dream of owning some Bourgeat saucepans!

Oh I am so very jealous of your knives. My husband bought me a Global knife years ago, and for some STUPID reason I swapped it for a Henkel... which is nowhere near as good.
I got myself a Cuisinart at about the same time as you got your Magimix, so I feel that love, and also your yearning for a Kitchenaid mixer. But a bigger kitchen is needed before that one.
Otherwise, my little zester knife, and a little julienne grater, like a peeler but cuts julienne strips instead, are fabulous little tools. My microplane graters I wouldn't want to be without. My mandoline likewise.
I have two Le Crueset grill pans, one for fish, one for meat. And a flatter Spanish plancha just for sardines.
And my pressure cooker...
I could go on and on. I love my kitchen trickery....

I don't have a fancy set of kives, but I do have a very good knife sharpener which I find, is even more important than the knife itself!
I love your moulis! I need to trawl the charity shops more.

- Dan said...
Laura - The Haiku knives are bloody lovely. They have a wooden handle and really feel superb in the hand. Some awesome saucepans, yes agreed, that would be something I'd love to own.
Lynne - That's some list of kitchen equipment! I know what you mean though, so much lovely stuff big and small. I have a real softspot for a goodgrips zester. It just feels so right, absolutely perfect. I wouldn't swap it for anything.
Shu Han - Agreed, no point in have nice knives if they're blunt! I found my potato ricer in a charity shop as well, also £2. Never know what you'll find!

Thanks for sharing Dan. I am actually shopping for knife set at the moment and I want something similar like yours.
One of my favourite kitchen kit is the microplane zester. I love it. Also the mezzaluna. What a strange and satisfying feeling, chopping using that thing.
Last but not least, digital kitchen scale. Brilliant.
- 16 February 2012 at 22:38
Yeah microplane, couldn't live without it. Very keen on my Globals too.
- 17 February 2012 at 07:56
...and my Magimix Gelato for that celery ice cream moment...
- 17 February 2012 at 08:03
- Wai Yee Hong said...
I definitely need my french peeler, zester, fave knife (knives?), bamboo chopsticks, rice cooker. Without these, i'd be completely lost.
Oh, and my zombie-fork.

- Helen T said...
Agree completely on good knives & keeping them sharp. I have a Le Creuset casserole & griddle pan, both done about 25 years service so far & look all set for the next 25. And I know really love the Kenwood Chef I bought at Xmas, having realised no bugger was sending me a KitchenAid, no matter how many times I mentioned it!
- 17 February 2012 at 08:36
- louche~chef said...
We almost match:
Global knives
Griddle pan
but my favorite item(s) have to be the knives. Lovely to use, nicely balanced and sharf hence safe.
They do freak people out a bit though because they're so sharp so I prewarn now before use.
Oh and the ceramic steel that goes with them is the dogs.

- gourmetgorro said...
Finally just opened my global knives I got a few years ago as a gift. My wife had given me the fear of chopping off a finger. I've still got 10 fingers and they're awesome.
- 17 February 2012 at 11:33
- Jen said...
My knives are a piece of shit, but my ceramic sharpener keeps them in working order. I love my mandolin for shredding and slicing. Good old wooden reamer. Microplane grater has revolutionised my life. Poach pods out of sheer laziness. 28cm le creuset casserole, which I was given as a gift and thought I'd never use, and now find essential for pot roasts, casseroles and no-knead bread. And probably my Krups espresso machine, which was I'm not sure counts, cause I don't exactly cook with it, but I do use it every day. It was only £100, and it's completely reliable and easy to clean.

- Sharmila said...
My Le Creeuset saucepans and frying pan are essentials for me, especially as you can stick them in the oven.
Also couldn't live without my Magimix - I'm not quite sure what I did before it.
Desperate to invest in some Haiku knives but that's a saving up job. I do have a very good Japanese knife that was gifted to me, which is great for slicing meat and fish.
My cleaver is also brilliant. £15 from the Chinese shop - great for chopping up meat through bones, especially for making stock.
I'm still waiting for the magical KitchenAid but am starting to accept it won't come so I may just invest in a Kenwood Chef.
Oh, and my latest bit of kitchenalia, I love - the Presso gifted to me by my husband at Christmas. Really does make fabulous coffee. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Presso-Coffee-Maker-zero-electricity-espresso/dp/B0012IQ92C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329493371&sr=8-1

- Sharmila said...
Oh, god, how I could forget my Cuisinart mini chopper/spice grinder? Now, that is an amazing piece of kit - used it every week for the past 8 years. Great for grinding spices up finely.
Oh, and my pressure cooker. Brilliant if you cook as much Indian food as me.
- 17 February 2012 at 15:48
- Lizzie said...
Agreed, knives are the most important thing. I don't actually have any other posh knife aside from a chef's knife, but I have 3 - a Wusthof (so heavy), a Global (light and awesome) and my favourite, a Porsche Chroma type301.
Other bits of kit include my wok, lovingly seasoned for years so it now has a non-stick patina and my rice cooker, which is quite frankly essential.

Good tools!
- 17 February 2012 at 16:52
- Helen said...
I just started writing a post like this myself! I'll save my recommendations for that ;) I have to say though, the kitchenaid is in there mate. Get one if you can!
- 18 February 2012 at 16:17
- David said...
Just been given (by my loverley wife) a KitchenAid blender - in black to match the food processor from the same firm. New breadmaker getting lots of use. Cheapo Kenwood stick blender. Finally, my biggest sin - my favourite knife is from sainsbury's, sharpened with a JML (or similar) tool - just can't get on with a steel!
- 19 February 2012 at 00:29
- Dan said...
Michael Toa - Got to agree with your choice of Microplane's and digital scales.
Charlie Hicks - That's what I could really do with, a decent ice-cream maker. And celery ice-cream is truly bloody awesome.
Wai Yee Hong - A good peeler is definitely up there and how could I forget to mention the zombie fork?
Helen T - 25 years, bloody hell! that's good going, but they do feel pretty damn indestructible. I don't have a stand mixer at all, so I'm extremely jealous of your Kenwood Chef.
Louche~Chef - Pleased to hear that our favourites are similiar. I have a Global Ceramic Steel, and got to agree, it's awesome but ridiculously expensive to buy!
Gourmetgorro - Lots of Global love it seems. They really are superb knives. Pleased to hear you still have all 10 digits!
Jen - I am incredibly jealous of your Le Creuset casserole. I alway's eye them up in the shops. Reassuringly bloody heavy (Like my grill pan), I really want one, but they're so expensive.
Sharmila - Interesting list and nice to see the same brand names and pieces of kit cropping up again and again. Quality really does tell. I quite fancy getting a cleaver actually.
Lizzie - Those Porche knives are really nice, quite heavy but I reckon that's a good thing. It's really awesome when a piece of kit improves with age, that's one of the reasons I love the Le Creuset Grill Pan so much. I keep hearing people mentioning rice cookers lately. Are they that handy?
German - Cheers!
Helen - I'd bloody love a Kitchenaid, they're frigging awesome. But a bit pricey. One day!
David - Love a blender. They're awesome for soups, nothing else comes close for getting it silky smooth. It took me quite a while to get used to a steel, I blunted rather than sharpened my knives at first. I also use a Minosharp to really put an edge back on it now and again.

- Gourmet Chick said...
I have global knives as well. Got some as a wedding present - best present ever. I also love my potato ricer and it is ESSENTIAL for gnocchi. Off to investigate your thermometer recommendation now.
- 20 February 2012 at 02:23
My favourite bits of kit are the ones that make me feel good about using them, rather than necessarily the ones which make life easier.
I have a knife i use for crushing garlic - slice, chop, salt, smash under the blade & repeat till mashed. It's just sharp enough, rather than supersharp but it's perfect for the satisfation of that process.
An oxo rubber handled peeler i inherited from an exhousemate - that does fall under the 'easiest peeler ever used' banner
My mortar & pestle that i've had for 15 years. something about bashing the heck out of toasted spices, that's very theraputic (and aromatic)
Bamboo steamers - 3 different sizes,purchase from chinatown. I use the small one most for steamed veggies, or all three at once for post-pub frozen dimsum feasts. I know there are probably easier ways but i rather like the steamy kitchen they produce
2 sizes of kitchen cleavers also bought from chinatown. The smaller one usually for roughly bashing garlic, onions etc, the larger one for chopping through bones.
A now very seasoned wok - gifted to me from excess stock when my local chinese restaurant closed. Never had better.
I think i'm over sentimental about my kitchen equipment!
- 20 February 2012 at 10:30
My top kitchen essentials are:
1. My Kitchenaid. I am very very lucky to have one and it's definitely worth it. Not just for making cakes, its great for bread, pasta, pastry etc and I have since invested in the ice cream attachment also which worth it!
2. Microplane grater, for the same reasons other commentors have made.
3. Le Creuset casseroles, I have 3 in varous sizes. Yes they cost a lot but they last a lifetime,I got some from a Le Creuset outlet at around 20% cheaper than those in stores, in some fab colours not available in the UK (they ship over US stock). If I had to choose one, I think that the shallow "buffets" as they are the most versatile.
4. My huge pestle and mortar
I still have things I want to add - Global knifes like yours and a Magimix, but then once I manage to add those I'm sure there'll be something else on the list?!

Ah, knives, the absolute key to a happy kitchen. Cut something properly, rather than bludgeoning it into slices, and everything else will work out. Just moved into a new flat with my girlfriend and she's buying all kinds of random stuff - casserole dishes, rolling pins, measuring spoons - but won't get some amazing knives (or even a sharpener). I keep telling her, she's making a mistake...
- 21 February 2012 at 08:17
- Dan said...
Gourmet Chick - Got to love Global Knives and I definitely recommend a Thermapen thermometer.
Hungry - Those Oxo pieces of hit are very nice in the hand. I also have the vegetable peeler. Chinese cleavers seem to be a popular choice! I'm going to have to investigate those.
Stickypinny - The usual culprits! There's always something else I'm afraid.
Ben - Exactly, the ability to cut something easily and cleanly is the cornerstone of any half decent cooking. Revel in the smug knowledge that your girlfriend is making a huge mistake in her purchasing and that you know better!

Today, my first-grader's lunch featured (clockwise):
- Organic grapes
- A Clementine
- Mixed fresh veggies with homemade paleo ranch for dipping
- A single serve pouch of guacamole
- A prosciutto egg cup with peas baked in.
My first grader is suddenly particular about not enjoying the texture of baked egg yolks, so I kept the yolk out of her egg cup here...but what she does not know is that the paleo ranch she enjoys so much has egg yolk! ;-)
The great thing about the egg cups is that they are very versatile for quick meal solutions. I had three myself this morning for my breakfast!

Diabetes: Erika's Story
"You have juvenile diabetes." Not something you hear every day, huh? But those were the words that changed my life forever. On August 31, 2000, I was lying in a hospital bed and the doctors were explaining that my pancreas had stopped functioning and I was no longer producing insulin. I was zoned out. Diabetes? How is that possible? Why me?
Maybe I should explain how I got there.
From Beach Chair to Hospital Bed
During the summer of 2000 I was in Puerto Rico at a family reunion. We were relaxing by the beach when suddenly I had to go to the bathroom. Five minutes later I had to go again. I thought it was all the water I was drinking, so I cut back. Still, the frequent trips to the bathroom continued. When I had two "accidents," I realized that something was wrong. I mean, at age 12 these things don't happen.
We called the doctor's office and they said it was probably just a urinary tract infection. I was given some antibiotics. Unfortunately, the medication had no effect. We cut our trip short and returned home. On the flight back, we had to ask for a seat close to the bathroom because my trips were increasing in frequency.
As soon as our plane landed, we headed to my physician's office. They took a urine sample, and for once I had no trouble giving one. When they tested it, they found traces of sugar in it. The physician then told me she wanted to check my blood sugar. I was scared! My grandparents have diabetes, so I knew that meant a needle. The machine read "466." My doctor stepped out of the room and, when she returned, she told me I had to go to the hospital. They were waiting for me there. She pulled my mom aside. I realized that things were not going well.
That's how I ended up with an IV in my arm, wearing one of those revealing robes; pulled from paradise into a world of white with beeping noises and bad food. During my time in the hospital, my family and I were taught about diabetes and how to manage it. I had to learn what to eat and how to give myself shots. I even had to improve my math skills in order to count carbohydrates.
I was overwhelmed! All I could think was, "I'm only 12 years old! How could this happen?" The fact that I was starting a new school that year didn't help. I didn't know how people would react or what they would say. What if they rejected me because of it? Would they make fun of me? Would I make friends? What if my blood sugar acted up and I made a fool of myself in class?
Living With Diabetes — and Little Brothers
At first I was really quiet about having diabetes. I refused to tell anyone in school. Then, when my friends began asking me why I had to go to the nurse's office all the time, I decided to tell them. It turned out to be a good choice. Everyone was interested. They asked some funny questions like "Is it contagious?" (it's not) and "So, wait, you can never have sugar?" (I can). But I enjoyed explaining. When I had low blood sugar at school, my friends noticed it immediately and were able to help me.
What is a day with diabetes like? I wake up and check my blood sugar using a finger-prick test. At breakfast I count carbohydrates and do some math in order to inject the proper dosage of insulin. At lunch, dinner, and before bed it's the same routine. If I have any symptoms of high or low blood sugar, then I have to prick my finger once again.
It's not a good idea for me to skip meals. And I have to do extra checks on my blood sugar levels when I'm doing any kind of intense physical activity. Diabetes can also make someone moody. I will be happy and bouncing off the walls one second, and the next, I am yelling at my brothers.
I must confess that having diabetes has not been a walk in the park. There have been times when I want to rip my hair out! For example, I wasn't even able to go to a sleepover until the tenth grade! My parents were kind of scared by it all.
I love sports. I can still play — I've played basketball, volleyball, and soccer — but I have to watch out for my blood sugar levels. During volleyball season, I tested my blood sugar more often. My blood sugar levels can affect my performance, so I wanted to make sure they were where they should be. Now I am getting in shape for soccer. All the running lowers my blood sugars, but the adrenaline rush can make them rise, causing my blood sugars to go up and down like a roller-coaster sometimes.
And I have the biggest sweet tooth imaginable. I mean I love candy (especially white chocolate) and ice cream. Before I was diagnosed with diabetes, I would eat it all the time. Afterward, well, let's just say I felt like a chronic smoker who had to stop smoking cold turkey. It was horrible. I craved it all the time! My two little brothers didn't help. They would sit there and eat any possible trace of sugar in the house right in front of me. Don't get me wrong, I am allowed to have sugar, as long as I don't go overboard. But let's be honest, once you have a slice, you want the whole cake.
Things That Changed My Life
My teenage years have been OK so far. I have learned how to handle my diabetes a lot better. In 2001, I got my insulin pump. That has completely changed my life, and things are a lot easier. I don't have to take a shot every time I eat, just one shot every 2 days. The pump takes a lot of the work off my hands. I still have to do calculations based on what I eat, but at least I don't have to give myself four shots a day. I only need to use a needle to insert a tiny plastic tube under my skin every 2 days. The pump is barely noticeable, too. Many people confuse it for a cell phone because of its size. It also comes with a lot of accessories, and as a girl, I love that!
I have also learned a lot more about diabetes and how to handle it. I have attended diabetes camps and have seen children much younger than I am with the same disease. Meeting them and their families has given me a more positive perspective on my diabetes. I have learned to whine less. If children 2 years of age can handle it, why can't I?
I have also become involved with the American Diabetes Association and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I want to help others with diabetes. I figure, "Hey, if I have to live with it, why not help others walking the same path?" If you help one person, you help the world.
Dating and Family
One of the major areas in teenage life is dating, the most complicated area in life, right? Let's throw diabetes into the mix. Get the picture? In July 2002, I began a relationship. The guy was a close friend. Actually, he was also my next-door neighbor. (OK, girls, ready: "awwww!")
But on a more serious note, it was extremely difficult. He was the one person I was afraid to tell about my diabetes. See, I always had a crush on the guy. I thought that if I told him, it would make me less appealing. It wasn't until a month before we started dating that I told him about my diabetes. I was surprised when he told me that his grandmother had it. He was willing to learn all about it! My mom invited him over and taught him all the signs of high and low blood sugar, how to work my insulin pump, and how to check my blood sugar.
Every time we went out, he would make sure I checked my blood sugar and followed my meal plan — which was really bad when I wanted to cheat! He even got me sugar-free white chocolate for Valentine's Day. He would attend and help with all the diabetes walks and fundraisers. It was great. I really appreciate him for that. It also helped that I had someone to talk to when I was stressed about my diabetes. It helps to talk to someone other than your family members. Sometimes it's even easier.
But I have to give credit where it's due. My family has been so supportive of me. My parents have made so many sacrifices in order to provide all of my medical supplies, especially my mom. She is my angel. She will go out of her way to make sure I have everything I might possibly need, even if it's something as small as alcohol swabs. My brothers are incredible as well. My youngest brother, Gabriel, is incredibly mature. At night when I fall asleep studying, he comes into my room and checks my blood sugar for me. I could not ask for a better support system.
Learning for Life
Diabetes has its ups and downs. Some days I think it's too much to handle, others I forget I even have it. I personally think diabetes has helped me grow as a person. I have become more responsible and mature.
Because of my experience, I have decided to become a pediatric endocrinologist. This way I can help children with the same problems, and they can't tell me, "You don't know what I'm going through!" Diabetes has become a friend. All I have to do is view it as a part of me, not some disease. Yes, the road is hard, but nothing comes easy. You have to work for what you want.

lisa&ramiro necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 119 diseños de 42 diseñadores freelance.
Logo for wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. To be used for favors, printed materials, cocktail napkins, etc.
My fiance and I are getting married in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in March 2009. We would like to have a logo or design printed on pint glasses to be given as favors for the guests. We would also use the logo for the programs, written information included in welcome packets at our guests' hotels, maybe cocktail napkins, etc.
We're looking for something that reflects the "beachy" theme of the wedding (it will be right on the beach), but nothing cheesy. Something clean and classy, but that also hints at a beach wedding. The font we used in the invitations was Papyrus, but it doesn't necessarily need to be that font. Our colors for the wedding are ivory, mocha, and coral, although for the pint glasses we'll probably just do an "etched" design, so color isn't important for that. I imagine the logo being rounded or oval in shape (like most pint glass logos are), but it doesn't necessarily have to be.
- Item 1...The logo must have the following information printed on it:
- Lisa & Ramiro
- 21 de Marzo del 2009
- Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (accent on the "e" in Mexico, if possible)
- Item 1...cheesy beach image-- like palm trees
- no hearts, rings, and other cliched wedding images

Fancy-ass full-Disney-quality-animator Will Finn just wrote an illuminating article about what animation really boils down to as its basics and illustrated it with a fun clip himself.
I fully intended to inbetween it, but I was surprised to find it didn't look all that awful on its own. I think the color had a lot to do with it, which says a lot for how much color can validate a drawing. I decided to push on forward and see how much I could do without:
No Inbetweens
No Squash & Stretch
No Anticipations
No Follow thru
No Overlap etc...
These are the things that are considered essential,especially in "full animation" obviously. These are the things that took me long hard years to learn. But I kind of realized as I stripped them away, that I had confused them with what "makes" animation, when they are really just things that enhance animation. Maybe all these years I have been confusing the forest with the trees"... - Finn
______________________________________________With the "enhancements" Will left out, that leaves us with these principles:
my 2 cents to add:
my 2 cents to add:
...which for some reason Frank and Ollie put at the end of their list of principles. I have been posting all of Frank and Ollie's principles and agree with them in theory, but I changed the order to put what I think are the most important ones at the beginning.
I agree with Will and believe that this is the problem with most animated feature films. Every one who gets the chance to make one says that "Story" is the most important element in a cartoon (which is not on Frank and Ollie's principles list), but then spends hundreds of millions of dollars on layering tons of "enhancements" to distract you away from the fact that nothing interesting, original or clever is happening.
When it comes to "solid drawing", "appeal" and exaggeration, you don't see much of that anymore either. Even timing has been turned into a system of formulaic rules. Hey Will, maybe you could tell us some modern timing tricks that have become commonplace in features.
You should be able to judge the pure entertainment value from a good animatic that has none of the enhancements but has the essentials.
I would add "Funny" to the essential principles. Maybe even "Clever ideas" or "Imagination". How about "Interesting or entertaining characters"?
I think you can find the best examples of what Will is talking about in Fred Crippen's Roger Ramjet cartoons. But maybe Will will disagree, I don't know. Maybe I am completely misinterpreting him. I'm sure he'll tell us and correct me at Lamplighter.
Appealing fun specific characters :
Roger Ramjet cartoons deals in only the essentials - which are much cheaper than the fancy expensive polishing process that goes on in the big studios. In fact Eddie and I often cleanse ourselves with Roger Ramjet cartoons right after watching a spectacular well polished, pore- filled blockbuster. Usually about a group of unlikely companions who get thrust out of their familiar environment (their womb-arena) and into a new harsher one. Through their arbitrary trials and solitary pathos scenes they learn to get along and become sweet friends and kindly democrats, thus teaching us that love, togetherness and character arcs are much more important than the blind corporate greed and abuse that creates these pictures.
Many of the movie clips on my Roger Ramjet posts have vanished into the ether, but there are lots of funny drawings in them. Perhaps world famous duck-scientist Marc Deckter knows the secret of where the clips are. I owe him a pizza so I'll ask him if they exist and will repost the buggers myself if they do.
But you can just go ahead and buy the cartoons if you and your family like to laugh and don't wanna be preached to by moguls who don't believe in their own lessons.

This past January we decided on the spur of the moment to head over to the Dakota Jazz Club and Restaurant in downtown Minneapolis for the first of Peter Asher's two nights at the club. Arriving with no expectations, we loved Asher's show. Asher returns to the Dakota for two shows, next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. This year we're bringing along several friends for Tuesday night's show; we hope they will enjoy the show half as much as we did last year.
Asher was one of the principals in the sixties British Invasion duo Peter and Gordon. His show is titled A Musical Memoir of the 60s and Beyond. Previewing last year's show, the Star Tribune's Jon Bream called Asher the Forrest Gump of rock. Wrong! Al Kooper is the Forrest Gump of rock, as a reader of Kooper's memoir Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards will readily conclude. Even so, the appellation gives short shrift to the talent that led to long and varied careers for both Kooper and Asher.
Asher's show recaps his career in a sort of VH1 Storytellers format while drawing on the resources of an excellent multimedia presentation displayed on monitors around the room. The presentation includes video clips of Asher's late partner, Gordon Waller, allowing for re-creation of several of the duo's hits with Peter and band performing live.
Asher recalls that Gordon had the looks, the voice, and the taste for rock that helped launch them as a team, but it was Paul McCartney who gave them their first hit, a worldwide number one: "World Without Love." McCartney was rooming across the hall from Asher on the third floor of the Asher family home at 57 Wimpole Street, the Asher family putting him up while Paul was dating Asher's sister Jane and the Beatles were in the first flush of their success in the United Kingdom.
This year Asher has added a newly discovered treasure to the show: a tape of Paul McCartney teaching him how to sing "World Without Love." (David Browne writes about it for Rolling Stone here.) I happened to catch it on Sirius-XM's '60s channel courtesy of Cousin Brucie earlier this week. What a kick.
The first half of Asher's show covers the birth of Peter and Gordon from the time the two were high school students to the time they went their separate ways. After a brief intermission, Peter picks up the story with his hiring by the Beatles to head up A & R for Apple Records, in which capacity he signed James Taylor. Seeing the signs of disintegration at Apple, Asher left to manage Taylor's career and go into record production — a second career that brought him his two Grammy Awards.
Peter reunited with Gordon in 2005 at the request of Paul Shaffer for a benefit concert in New York. Seeing the effect of the performance on their old fans, Asher modestly relates, he discovered that there was "nothing wrong" with revisiting the old songs. The show is a totally satisfying walk down memory lane performed with style and wit. Backed by a four-piece band, Asher himself is a generous and engaging performer.
We stayed around after the show last year to chat with a couple of old friends who were in attendance. They enjoyed the show too. Asher graciously took a spot at a table in the back of the room to sign posters and discs for fans. I took the opportunity to get a picture with him. He stayed until the room emptied. I think he would have turned out the lights and locked the door if Dakota proprietor Lowell Pickett had asked.
When I wrote about the show last year (and this post draws on what I wrote then), John posted the video below of Peter and Gordon lip-syncing "World Without Love." During the show Asher recalls how John Lennon had mocked McCartney's lyrics at the start of the song ("Please lock me away…"), with the result that the song was locked away from the Beatles. A good melody, however, comes to the rescue. Thanks to Peter and Gordon, the world is not without "World Without Love"!

City increasing use of non-drinkable water
Mayor Don Wesely announced today that the cityĺs average daily water use has met the 65 million gallon goal since mandatory water restrictions went into effect July 20. Daily usage is averaging 63.5 million gallons, and usage has been below 65 million gallons five of the last seven days. From June 21 through July l9, the average daily use was 74.7 million gallons.
"We thank the residents of Lincoln for recognizing the importance of water conservation and making sacrifices," said Mayor Wesely. "Our priority must be on supplying the essential water needs of the community ľ drinking water and other home uses, sanitation, fire protection and commercial and business activities."
Under the mandatory restrictions, property owners with street addresses ending in even numbers may water their lawns and wash cars and other vehicles only on even-numbered days. Those with addresses ending in odd numbers may water only on odd-numbered days. The Mayor initially asked for citizens to voluntarily conserve water June 25 and instituted a voluntary odd-even outdoor watering schedule July 6. The City has not implemented mandatory water restrictions since 1974.
Lincolnĺs water supply comes from the well fields near Ashland, which pump water from an underground aquifer. The aquifer is dependent on river flows to replace the water drawn out. One area of the well field dipped below the critical level last week, but the Lincoln Water System (LWS) made adjustments to draw more water from other areas of the well field. Current modeling shows that LWS has re-charged the critical area.
Over the past week, river flow at the Ashland well fields has ranged from 650 to 1,100 cubic feet per second (CFS). An average flow of 600 CFS is required to sustain the well fields at the 65 million gallons per day consumption level.
To date, no customers have had their water shut off as a result of violating the mandatory restrictions, but the Lincoln Water System (LWS) has sent out 121 warning letters. The Lincoln Police Department issued three citations from July 27 through August 1.
In response to the dry conditions, the City is increasing its use of treated, non-drinkable water from the wastewater treatment plants. The non-drinkable water is being used at the City treatment plants for watering the grounds and in-plant water needs. The uses of the non-drinkable water are limited to street sweeping vehicles; watering trees in parks and watering public landscape plantings along streets or in boulevards; and dust suppression for road or construction sites.
"The limited use of non-drinkable water poses very little health risk to people due to the small chance of direct contact or ingestion," said Scott Holmes, Environmental Health Chief at the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department. "When wastewater is properly treated, these are approved uses even under the most stringent regulations in the nation. Lincolnĺs wastewater treatment plants include disinfection as the final step of treatment, which greatly reduces the levels of potentially disease causing bacteria."
The last day of operation at three public swimming pools ľ Air Park, Ballard and Kuklin ľ is Sunday, August 5. After the chlorine naturally dissipates from the pool water, the Parks and Recreation Department will use the pool water to water public plantings instead of simply draining the pools.
"Recycling the pool water is an innovative way to use thousands of gallons of water as we all work to conserve water," Wesely said.
The latest information on water restrictions and water usage amounts are posted daily on the City web site at
The rules currently in effect for mandatory water restrictions include the following measures:
In addition to following the odd-even system, the LWS recommends watering during the cool part of the day; not watering when it is windy; adjusting sprinklers to water only the lawn, and not the sidewalk or street; using a broom, not a hose and water, for outdoor cleaning; and washing cars with a pail of soapy water, using the hose only to rinse the car.
City residents are also reminded that water fees are structured to encourage conservation. Information on water rates can be found on the City web site.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court has unanimously sided with Los Angeles area governments that are fighting a lawsuit over pollution from urban storm water runoff.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for the court in a narrow holding Tuesday that the federal appeals court in San Francisco wrongly ruled for environmentalists in their lawsuit against the Los Angeles Flood Control District. At issue is responsibility for billions of gallons of polluted water that flow into the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers, and eventually the Pacific Ocean, after heavy rainfalls.
The environmental groups say levels of bacteria from animal feces and toxic metals frequently exceed water quality standards.
The suit involved compliance with an older permit regulating water pollution. Ginsburg said a new permit more precisely monitors sources of pollution.

Mountain View High freshman Ysabel Baluyot scored the game-winning goal Jan. 16.
A late goal by Ysabel Baluyot propelled the Mountain View High girls soccer team to a 3-2 win at Homestead Jan. 16.
The freshman forward delivered the game-winning goal in the 82nd minute of the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division match, which Homestead had tied two minutes earlier.
The Spartans, who outshot the Mustangs 24-5, received a goal and an assist from Erica Higa. Danna Weintraub scored their other goal and Morgan DeAngelis totaled two assists.
Mountain View – which shut out visiting Monta Vista 3-0 earlier in the week behind two goals and an assist from Morgan Matthews – improved to 3-1-1 in league and 10-2-1 overall. The Spartans haven't lost a game since their league opener at Los Gatos Jan. 2.
"I think we're starting to finish our chances a bit more, which has helped take some of the pressure off the defense," said coach Ivan Bandov, whose squad has scored eight goals in its last three games. "We still need to be more consistent in our play, but hopefully that'll come in the second half of league play."
Eagles clip Titans
Visiting Los Altos topped Gunn 1-0 behind a first-half goal from freshman Stephanie Kouvelas Jan. 16. Sophia Hyver earned the assist.
Two days earlier, the Eagles edged Homestead by the same score. Sophomore Allie Crum scored in the opening half off a deflection of a shot by Kouvelas.
The victories put Los Altos' record at 4-1 in the De Anza Division and 6-1-2 overall.
Panthers fit to be tied
Pinewood played visiting Mercy-Burlingame to a 1-all tie Jan. 15.
Amrita Mecker scored in the second half for the Panthers, who went to 5-0-1 in the West Bay Athletic League and 6-3-2 overall.
Lancers beat Live Oak
St. Francis defeated host Live Oak 3-0 in non-league play Jan. 16. Alexandria Reckas, Peyton Cassin and Annie Kingman notched goals for the Lancers. Katherine Bell, Emma Wangsness and Kingman earned assists.

An Afternoon Celebration
Daily Trivia fact.
On August 23,1953, Phil Paine became the
first ex-major-leaguer to play baseball professionally in
Now onto today's edition of The Good,the Bad,and the Ugly
Really, Really Good
Edwin Jackson has been feeling more at ease
on the mound in recent outings, and today he turned in a gem of a pitching
performance for the Rays. Jackson pitched 8 innings of two-hit ball and with
the help of lefty reliever Trevor Miller closed out a 7-0 shutout of the
Seattle Mariners.
The Mariners accounted for only three hits
all day, with Mariners' third baseman, Adrian Beltre getting two hits. In the effort, Jackson lower his ERA to an
impressive .064, and had 6 strikeouts for the day. He was effectively getting
his pitches over and was in cool command of the mound today. The small afternoon crowd even boo-ed Rays
Manager Joe Maddon's decision to not let Edwin get the complete game. In the
post game interview, Jackson looked relaxed and showed a renewed air of
Honorable Mentions
*** Jonny Gome went 2-2 with 2 runs scored,
and upped his average to .294 for the year.
** Carl Crawford made a diving backhand catch
on a dying ball hit to left center field in the Top of the 4th to end the Seattle
* Rays backup catcher, Mike DeFelice went
2-4, with both hits being broken bat singles. He also had 3 RBIs for the day.
And to top it off, he called a great game behind the plate giving Edwin a great
target to pitch to all day.
The Bad
For a change, the bad will be short and hopefully to the
point here. The first four batters in the Rays order today did some damage,
but we still have two of our prime hitters under the Mendoza line for the
season. Akinora Iwamura had two hits today to raise his average to .222, which is
tops for the first four hitters.
A hopeful sign for a positive weekend series, is the
sheer fact all four scored at least one run today. This might be a sign that the
sleeping giant is awaking again. The only other Bad thing U have to add, is the fact that
Hillsborough County kids have this week off for Spring Break, and the Trop. was
only 28.8 percent full. That worked out to 11,898 souls if you were wondering.
That is better than a week night game, but I would have expected a bit more
people to trot over and do an afternoon under the dome.
The Really Ugly
I was hoping I might not have an "ugly" after such a
great game today, but such is life. It is a recycled event that has plagued this
team for almost a week now.
Another player has been in the Training room today with
Ron Porterfield and is showing signs of pain. After his great game last night,
Rays third baseman Willy Aybar was scratched from the game with soreness in the
hamstring area. Aybar has been fighting a hamstring situation since the
beginning of Spring Training and might have reinjured his leg during his slide
into home plate last night.
"He's been getting all the treatments, doing all the right things, he's
been working his butt off to stay out there," Maddon said. "It's just that play
took a little bit out of him." Those are the kind of things that really mess you up," Maddon said. "He's
been sore the last couple days and he's been playing through the cold weather
… just extended on that play and he just felt it a little bit." Maddon, always the wordsmith, even put a
positive spin on the latest injury.
"Right now we are way up there on ice — ice and injections," Maddon said.
In the meantime, Eric Hinske will probably
get most of the reps at third until Aybar return. Hinske broke in at third base with the
Toronto Blue Jays and has ample experience for the
Former Rays spotlight of the
The former Ray who is in the spotlight is Astros starting pitcher
Brandon Backe. He was seen during last night's batting practice jawing with
Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols. It seems that Backe to exception the 8th
inning play the previous night during a home plate situation where Pujols roughed up rookie
catcher J R Towles .
Pujols collided with Towles hard that inning and while first
looking like a clean play,not everyone took it that way. We can bet Brandon was in the "not clean" group about the hard
Tomorrow The Baltimore Orioles and former
Ray Aubrey Huff brings their merry band of closet Karaoke men to the Trop for a
three game series. This should be an interesting series for both

|Trading Process Of Small Coconut Oil Refinery Machine
Product Description
Impurity of extracted crude oil must be removed in order to reduce losses and increase yield of corn germ oil in oil refining process. Crude oil filter can remove impurities, control impurity of extracted crude oil under 0.2%, thus improve degumming efficiency.
|Flow Chart Of Small Coconut Oil Refinery Machine
|Degumming Section Of Small Coconut Oil Refinery Machine
Degumming process is usually called dephosphorization because most of the colloidal impurites are phospholipid.There are four kinds of method to degum---- hydration degumming, adding acid degumming, heating method and adsorption method. The purpose of degumming is to get rid of the colloidal impurity in crude peanut oil. Intermittent process preheats crude oil to 80 ~ 85 â. The amount of water in crude oil bases on colloid content, and generally 3-4 times of the gum content, water temperature at 85 ~ 90 â (5 â higher than oil temperature). Finish water adding in 40-60min, along with 60-70r/min stirring, continue stirring 3-5min after adding water, and stand for precipitation 2-4h.
|Deacidification Section Of Small Coconut Oil Refinery Machine
The crude oil is output by the oil feed pump from the oil tank, and next enters the crude oil heat exchanger to recover part of heat after metering and then is heated to the required temperature by the heater. After that, the oil is mixed with the metered phosphoric acid or citric acid from phosphate tank in the gas mixture (M401), and then enters the conditioning tank (R401) to make the non-hydratable phospholipids in oil change into the hydratable phospholipids. Add the alkali for neutralization, and the alkali quantity and alkali solution concentration depend on the quality of the crude oil. Through the heater, the neutralized oil is heated to the temperature (90â) suitable for centrifugal separation to remove the phospholipids, FFA and other impurities in the crude oil. Then the oil goes to the washing process.
|Decolorization Section Of Small Coconut Oil Refinery Machine
Heat degummed oil to 25 ~ 135 â, dehydrated into a vacuum dryer 20 ~ 30 min. Moisture of dehydrated oil is less than 0.1% (after degumming of crude oil via the oil contained in the 0.3% to 0.5 % of the water will affect the adsorption capacity of bleaching clay section). Degumming of oil can remove grease in oil pigment to improve oil color, adsorption of aflatoxin and trace metals, phospholipids, other gum and other impurities. It ensures high quality of peanut oil and improves oil stability.
|Deodorization Section Of Small Coconut Oil Refinery Machine
The qualified bleaching oil enters into the spiral plate heat exchanger to recover most of the heat, and next goes to high pressure steam heat exchanger to be heated to the process temperature (240-260â) and then enters the deodorization tower. The upper layer of combined deodorization tower is the packing structure which is mainly used to remove the odor producing components such as free fatty acid (FFA); the bottom layer is the plate tower which is mainly for achieving the hot bleaching effect and reducing the peroxide value of the oil to zero. Oil from the deodorization tower enters into the heat exchanger to recover most of the heat and makes further heat exchange with crude oil, and then is cooled to 80 and 85â through the cooler. Add the required antioxidant and flavor agent, and then cool the oil below 50â and store it. Such volatiles as FFA from the deodorizing system are separated by the packing catcher, and the separated liquid is FFA at low temperature (60 and 75â). When the liquid level in the temporary tank is too high, the oil will be sent to the FFA storage tank.
|Dewaxing Section Of Small Coconut Oil Refinery Machine
For sunflower oil, cotton seed oil, rice bran oil refining, dewaxing process is necessary in order to improve oil quality.

Licenses, tags and applications now available for 2013-14
Generally, those who applied for a hunting license or deer tags last year have received the Hunting Digest by now.
The magazine has statistics from all over the state from last season's hunts, including deer and elk. Most hunters, including myself, look forward to receiving this magazine.
Besides being laden with statistics, such as how many hunters applied for a limited number of tags in a particular deer hunting zone, it also details hunter success by numbers tagged and horn size. The success percentages often are a huge factor for hunters determining which deer tag to apply for.
While hunting zones such as A, B and D are sold across the board without restrictions, there are numerous other zones where you have to apply and hold your breath until you receive notice that your name was drawn.
The same goes for the numerous special hunts, such as limited hunts for elk, pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep. There are a larger number of hopeful hunters than there are tags available, and the odds of being drawn are slim. If you don't get drawn, you'll earn a point, which can give you a drawing advantage down the line.
June 2 is the deadline to apply for any hunt that requires a drawing. Go online to the Department of Fish and Wildlife's Web site, still reachable under the old address of www.dfg.ca.gov. Under the "Hunting" tab, click on "2013 Big Game Hunting Digest." The digest should include applications for hunts requiring a drawing. Or, you can wait until the materials land in your mailbox.
You can purchase your hunting license and tags that don't require a drawing by visiting to the DFW Web site, clicking on "Hunting" and then on "Online License Service."
If you had a hunting license last year, you have an account with the DFW. It will require entering your birth date, last name and an identifying number, such as a driver's license.
Click on "Purchase License," and then click on "2013 Hunting" in the menu box. As usual, there is the annual price increase for all materials.
Just about everything requires you to first purchase a hunting license, which will set you back $45.93.
You're allowed two deer tags in California. The application for your first tag will cost $30.50; the application for the second tag is $37.80. Add a bear tag for another $44.54.
Do you hunt quail, pheasant or dove? The Upland Game Bird Validation is $9.46. It doesn't include the cost of the tag if you're drawn for elk, pronghorn antelope or bighorn sheep, but it will cost you $8.13 just to apply for any of those hunts.
If you don't receive the Hunting Digest soon, you can visit the DFW's office at 1740 North Market Blvd. in north Natomas, where all materials should be available.
Current fishing
Stream trout: The general season for fishing the north state's streams opened April 27. While most streams opened, others didn't, so check your fishing regulations booklet. With the lack of snow in the higher elevations, most streams are already in prime condition, and fishing should be outstanding. DFW trucks will be adding catchable rainbows to enhance the fisheries.
Lake Amador: With the warming temperature, lake management will discontinue trout plants. The water gets too warm to support a trout fishery. While there are still trophy-size trout to catch, much of the action is turning to bass and crappie. The bass fishery is great right now, as the bass guard their beds in the shallows. Crappie can be found dropping a minnow under a bobber near a light around the docks as the sun begins to set.
Lake Camanche: They've planted more than 20,000 pounds of trout in 2013, and another 600 pounds recently was added. Fishing is good. You can get into a top-water trolling bite early, but once the sun gets on the water, you're going to have to drop deeper. With trout migrating to deeper water, the shore bite is getting tougher. Bass are on their beds and are easy targets. Many have spawned, but if you nail a bass with a bulging midsection, be sure to gently put her back in the water, as she hasn't spawned.
S.F. Bay fleet: The salmon fishery was outstanding off the San Mateo coast. They found a massive school of salmon, and many boats are coming back to the docks with limits of king salmon, including several to 15 pounds.
Bodega Bay and Fort Bragg: It's been a tougher fishery finding salmon for boats out of either of these ports. The fish, however, could have easily moved in by now and the fishing is good. Check with your favorite boat.
Suisun Bay: While you can get pecked to death by small, undersize stripers in local water, you can head to Martinez, launch, head over to places like the Mothball Fleet and get into a really good sturgeon bite. Even those fishing from the pier at Martinez are getting into sturgeon. Soak grass shrimp or pile worms. Put a glob of salmon roe on the hook, and a self-respecting sturgeon just can't pass that up.
American River: Some chrome-bright, fresh-run steelhead came up the river. While only maybe to 20 inches, they'll give you a battle, and it's a lot of fun on light tackle. Best waters were from around the Sunrise Bridge downriver to Sailor Bar in Fair Oaks. Fish the water off the gravel bar just below the foot bridge before it turns into riffles.
Folsom Lake: Bass, bass, and more bass. They're in all the various stages of spawning, from still staging to spawned. And the fishing is good. You can get well bit hooking up a live minnow. If you don't like using live bait, just about anything you throw at bass is going to get bit — swim, crank and jerk baits, drop-shotting, all forms of plastics. Get on the water early; even noisy top-water gear can attract a bite.

What John Lennon really meant in 'Imagine'
New movie 'Genius' reveals real beliefs of Beatles' star
Evangelist Ray Comfort today released a new video production, "Genius," that reveals passersby stunned by the revelations that they really are not all that "good."
The video was created as part of Comfort's work on his new "The Beatles, God and the Bible" book project, and along the way, lays out a likely meaning behind the mystic words in Lennon's "Imagine," which these days is played each New Year's Eve before the crystal ball drops in New York's Times Square.
The "Genius" project is in the style of "180," the video project that showed people reversing their position on abortion, from positive support to total opposition, in just a matter of minutes when Comfort confronts them with the truth about the procedure.
"180" was in conjunction with Comfort's first project in the series, "Hitler, God and The Bible."
While that dealt with abortion, his "Genius" confronts individuals about their own "goodness." A stunning number agreed that they would readily take $2 million that didn't belong to them, if they wouldn't get caught, and nearly an equal number said they would commit the murder of an innocent person if they were paid $10 million, and knew they wouldn't get caught.
They also admit to stealing, lying, taking the Lord's name in vain, and violating others of God's laws, leaving Comfort describing them as "lying, cheating, blaspheming" people who could not possibly be defined as "good" by God's law."
His point is simple: that people need the atonement offered by Jesus in order to reach heaven.
Comfort explains that even though many believe Lennon's "Imagine" lyrics reveal a total disbelief in faith and God, that may not be the case.
Those lyrics being: "Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky, Imagine all the people, Living for today… Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too…"
That came from the same mind of Lennon who once said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus.
But Comfort notes that Lennon's own explanation of the lyrics were that, "It is the concept of positive prayer. If you could imagine a world peace with no denominations or religion … not without religion but without this my-god-is-bigger-than-your-god thing…"
The video includes its humorous moments, including when one person, asked who was John Lennon, said the 14th president of America.
Comfort also notes that the Christianity in which Lennon grew up – dry sermons in cold, stone church buildings attended mostly by elderly – certainly would have been something a young artist would have avoided.
Lennon was murdered by David Chapman outside Lennon's apartment in New York in 1980.
Lennon also said at one point, "I don't believe in the evolution of fish to monkeys to man. It's absolutely irrational garbage. They set up these idols and then they knock them down. It keeps all the old professors happy at the university. It gives them something to do. Everything they told me as a kid has already been disproved by the same experts who made them up in the first place."
Not too many people know that John Lennon met Paul McCartney while at a church function, or that John was a choirboy. Nor do they know that at the height of their fame in 1965, all four Beatles professed to be atheists.
In 1980, Lennon had moved from proudly stating that they were more popular than Jesus, to humbly saying: "I'm a most religious fellow … I was brought up a Christian, and I only now understand some of the things that Christ was saying in those parables." As a young man, George Harrison wrote, "I want to find God. I'm not interested in material things, this world, fame – I'm going for the real goal." Later in life, Ringo Starr said, "For me, God is in my life. I don't hide from that." In the 1990s, Paul McCartney said, "I'm not religious, but I'm very spiritual." He prayed for his wife when she was having trouble giving birth to their daughter, and his 2001 song "Freedom" spoke of freedom as "a right given by God."
"John Lennon was a musical genius," says Comfort. "All I have to do is think of some of his songs and even the titles make me feel good…and I'm not the only one. His music has crossed cultures and even generations. The Beatles have sold more than 2,303,500,000 record albums, and in June of 2012 they hit number one on iTunes. They are as big now as they ever were and they're half dead – with the tragic loss of Lennon and Harrison."
Ray Comfort is the founder/president/CEO of Living Waters Publications. From humble beginnings, the ministry has become internationally recognized, reaching the lost and equipping Christians with every necessary resource to fulfill the great commission. In addition to his main ministry, Ray is co-host (with Kirk Cameron) of the award-winning television program "The Way of the Master," which airs in 70 countries around the world. He also co-hosts a daily radio program by the same name, airing on the Sirius Satellite Radio Network and hundreds of terrestrial stations. Ray is a bestselling author of more than 60 books. He and his wife, Sue, live in Southern California, where they have three grown children.

Also available is "The Lennon Prophecy: A New Examination of the Death Clues of The Beatles," by Joseph Niezgoda.

The NBA has seen the last of Yao Ming.
The former Rockets center, who helped open the game to China, has decided to retire.
This is indeed a sad day.
Unfortunately, it comes as no surprise.
When we learned the last time he was injured (a stress fracture in his left ankle last December) and would miss the remainder of the 2010-11 season, we knew it would be unlikely that he would ever play again.
I talked to doctors who tried to paint a rosy picture, but I wrote about it probably being the end.
Few understand what Yao went through in trying to stay healthy. He battled a body that wasn't built to play basketball, challenging it with a competitive spirit that would make him one heck of a basketball player.
If you find somebody who knows Yao that doesn't like him … no need to even finish that sentence. You can't find anyone who knows Yao that doesn't like and respect him.
He is good people. Period.
For many, his legacy will be one of disappointment and about what didn't happen, but I'd prefer to look at the things he did accomplish.
I won't criticize someone for failing to accomplish something when he had little or no control over coming up short.
Yao's body let him down. He never let it down by being out of shape. He never let his teammates down by not working hard. He always gave all he had and was willing to risk everything to help his team win.
That makes him a champion.
I applaud him in retirement as I would any wonderful athlete who put it all on the line for as long as he could.
No playoff runs. No championships. No parade. Perhaps no Hall of Fame.
But Yao Ming's still a champion.

Maxwell J Sukupchak needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 55 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Reflections Auto Detailing
Reflections Auto Detailing is a new mobile car detailing company in the Daytona Beach, FL area. We visit clients at their work or homes and detail both the interior and exterior of their vehicle. Using top of the line washing, polishing and waxing techniques we strive to offer our customers a car that will truely reflect like it was in a show room. Our websit is currently being built but for reference you may view it at http://www.reflectionsofdaytona.com
We strive to reach two completely different markets. Young busy adults who take pride in their sports cars are our main target. These individuals may like more of a catchy and creative logo design that will grab their attention. Our other main target market is for older upper class customers who want to protect their car like an investment and want it to look great. This target group will like a logo that shows stability and is simple to understand. Our logo needs to accomodate both of these target markets.
Creativity is key for this design. Try to incorporate the name into the design. I visualize the name "Reflections" really playing into the logo. Using some sort of mirror imaging or something might work great. Or having the name of the company reflecting in a car. I want a logo that is simple but still fun. Try to make this logo look professional yet bring some spice into the overall concept. Cleaning cars is our business and using a sports car in the logo may work great but try to be original and not just our company name written next to a car. On many of my print ads and my website I have tried to use red and black colors as a theme. Try to use these colors if possible but not at all necessary. Just have it match with that style of theme.
Since I'm not sure exactly what I want throw all kinds of ideas at me. There really are no requirements at all for the logo other than it needs to draw customers by making us look like we know what we are doing when we detail cars!

The African-American photo identification event, held yesterday at the State Archives, was a great success. Several folks from the community helped us identify images of African-American life in Tallahassee from the 1950s and 1960s. Special thanks to Althemese Barnes and the John G. Riley House and Museum for helping to organize this important event!
Over one hundred images were identified. For example, we learned that future NFL star and Chicago Bears legend Willie "The Wisp" Galimore (far right) appears in this photo along with three still unidentified Florida A&M football players.
… And this photograph of Griffin Junior High School beauty queens, including Althemese Barnes (passenger seat), Founding Executive Director at the John G. Riley House & Museum.

Sandra_Somers necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 172 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
One Third Woman
We are a social networking site called http://www.OneThirdWoman.com whose aim is to encourage, support and guide woman trying to balance a complex life. This life in particular comprises of three key roles:
1. the mother,
2. the breadwinner,
3. the woman herself.
Each of these roles is measured as one third, however, emphasis shall be on the woman as a whole.
We want to attract women who have children (either recently or long standing), and who are also working (or trying to get back to work). Prior to having children, it is likely she already had an established and successful career for which she worked very hard, either in a professional capacity or otherwise. She does not want to let go of this achievement whether it be to continue developing her career forwards, financial reasons or just plain sanity!
This site does not exclude women who are working in a non-professional capacity. We want to appeal to women who have a certain degree of financial independence prior to having children and after.
Our female audience still wish to maintain a sense of who they are in addition to these other significant life roles.
We want to provide solutions for these women who are probably under pressure to perform like superwoman, but are simply human. There may not be enough time to do everything and please everyone so she turns to this web-site for advice, support, guidance and friendship. It is a place to give and receive.
We want to appeal to all women who fit this description, in particular those who have returned to work after maternity leave and still have drive to continue with their career and still wish to be a great mum.
We require a banner and logo for our web-site, to be delivered as illustrator files and JPEG. As an example for the banner (however by no means limited to) please see basic hand drawn image attached.
In the attached image, each figure represents one of the thirds, or one of the 3 roles women have in life as explained earlier. Using thirds or the concept of 3 would be a consistent theme for the design; however we are open to suggestions.
The use of figurines is an idea as long as they are simple and elegant (see figures used on http://mireilleguiliano.com and some figurines scattered around http://dailydivadish.com are not ideal but ok). If the figurine concept is successful, it would likely be developed further into various themes as the web-site grows and develops. Also, (if applicable) we require each object in the banner to be a layer of the illustrator file.
Think Audrey Hepburn meets Dagny Taggart* , Coco Chanel meets Mrs Brady** .
Think Intelligent and stylish - simple and clean but not exclusive; it needs to be combined with elements of warmth and accessibility.
It is also likely that more development work will be required for the web-site itself. Please bear this in mind for the banner and logo design.
The logo design to be connected to the banner.
*Dagny Taggart, main character from 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ann Rynd
** From 1970's US TV show The Brady Bunch

After watching hours of Fashion TV previewing both Milan and NY 2012 Spring Fashion Weeks, I noticed a common trend amongst designers....Floral prints. Models were dressed head to toe in floral prints including roses, daffodils, daisies and orchids. That's right, it's time to add some flower power into our wardrobe. I'm sure most of us would already own a floral item as florals (like stripes) have been a popular fashion theme for spring and summer for decades. However, designers such as Mary Katrantzou have taken the feminine floral prints that we are used to seeing and reinvented them through colour blocking and bold geometric contrasts.
Below are a few pieces from Mary Katrantzou's collection designed exclusively for Topshop.
|Images courtesy of http://flowerona.com
In my look below, I went a bit floral mad and teamed a vintage floral shirt with a cute floral skirt. Being quite petite I always choose to wear small prints as you can see below. It is better for my proportion. Taller girls can wear larger prints. I've accessorised with an Alannah Hill floppy felt hat, vintage brooch and belt, floral rings from Friperie Vintage ( http://friperie.tumblr.com/ ) and Nine West shoes.
