Put grounded Frisbees to work sprucing up your house this winter. Wrapped in colorful cellophane, they're the ultimate in cool candy.
Wrap the disk in aluminum foil to keep its color from showing through.
Set the disk in the center of a large rectangle of cellophane (we used a 30- by 40-inch piece for our 9-inch disk) and fold over the 2 long sides of the film as if wrapping a present. Use clear packing tape to completely seal the seam.
Twist the ends of the cellophane like a candy wrapper and tie them with the ends of a 2-foot length of twine, stringing the twine across the back of the disk for a hanger, as shown. Finally, tie pieces of ribbon over the ends of the twine.

In reply to Indus: hi there. How old is the exposure spark?
In reply to thomasmcalonan: Its around two years old but only used during the winter as a back up / commuter light. The batteries have been charged maybe 10-15 times due to it being my second light and having children!!!!!
The charged itself is a replacement from exposure as the old one had a fault. Comes with case.

Rangers winger Carl Hagelin snapped his nine-game goal drought with his first period goal that gave the Rangers a 2-1 lead. Despite not finding the net, the 24-year-old has still been putting up points, registering seven goals and eight assists in his last 19 games, including six points over the last eight contests.
Shorthanded Step
Derek Stepan assisted on Del Zotto's shorthanded goal in the first period to give him 11 points in his last 11 games.
One-sided Rivalry
The Rangers have registered at least one point in 14 of their last 21 meetings with the Devils, going 12-7-2 over that span. Since the 2007-08 season, the Blueshirts are 21-9-3 against their cross-river rivals, with Lundqvist posting a 21-9-2 record with a 2.00 GAA and .927 save percentage, with six shutouts.
Tight Games
Despite their impressive record against New Jersey, games have been tight. Following last night's 3-2 final, 15 of the last 19 meetings between the two teams have been separated by two goals or less.

Deception Island - Antarctica
Deception Island has been coveted and then deserted by many, and thedilapidated shells of buildings, boats and whaling equipment remain as proof of its productive years as a Norwegian-Chilean whaling station as well as the home of several scientific stations run by Chile, Argentina, Spain, and the UK.
The thing is, building and operating expensive equipment on an active volcano is risky business, even if the area is considered one of the safest harbors on the continent due to its large caldera, a famous refuge from storms and icebergs. While several countries were bickering over sovereign flags and attempting to occupy the lusted-after real estate in the 1960's, the island had apparently had enough, and kicked everyone off. Erupting twice in two years, it demolished research centers and buried everything left behind in ash, including a cemetery occupied by 45 deceased whalers and a long deserted aircraft hangar.
The island's use is now administered under the Antarctic Treaty System, and it is now a popular tourist attraction as well as a scientific outpost. The giant iron boilers and tanks of the long gone whalers still stand, large holes cut in their sides as a deterrent to the Nazis, who were feared to have been planning to use them to store fuel. Chinstrap penguins roam around everywhere, as the west side is home to one of the world's largest chinstrap rookeries.
But wait, there's more! Keep reading on Atlas Obscura for how you can soak in a volcano-fueled hot spring on Deception Island…

Skilled Defense for Serious Crimes
If you have been charged with a serious crime such as rape, murder or kidnapping, you are certainly free to hire whomever you want to act as your lawyer. However, if you or a family member is currently facing criminal charges, consider this:
- A criminal prosecution can have both immediate and long-lasting consequences that can be devastating. Hire an attorney who will fight for a successful outcome.
- Communication between a lawyer and a client is very important. Your criminal defense is an active process. Defense and prosecution actions are going on every day and you should be fully informed at all times.
- Courtroom experience is critical. There are well-informed attorneys who simply lack the trial experience in important criminal cases. Select someone who has focused on criminal defense for a significant period of time.
- Do not ignore chemistry. You are going to put your future in someone else's hands and spending a great deal of time with them while your defense is being prepared. All else being equal, wouldn't you rather hire someone who is easy to work with and with whom you get along?

FILE- In this Monday, July 18, 2011, file photo, Warren Buffett is interviewed in the White House Briefing Room in Washington, following a meeting with President Barack Obama. Buffet said Tuesday, April 17, 2012, that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but not debilitating or threatening at all. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett says he has been diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer but the 81-year-old chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is giving no indication he plans on retiring any time soon.
The billionaire investing legend assured shareholders in a letter made public late Tuesday that his condition is "not remotely life-threatening." The two-month radiation treatment he and his doctors plan to start in mid-July will restrict his travel but shouldn't otherwise affect his routine, he said.
"I feel great — as if I were in my normal excellent health," Buffett said. "And my energy level is 100 percent."
Cancer experts say Buffett's diagnosis shouldn't be a major concern because it appears his doctors caught the disease early. Still, the news will remind Berkshire investors of Buffett's mortality. And the disclosure is bound to give rise to fresh speculation about who will eventually succeed Buffett at the Berkshire's helm.
Buffett said he was diagnosed April 11 and has received tests including a CAT scan, a bone scan and an MRI. He said the tests showed no indication of cancer elsewhere in his body.
"The chance of dying of prostate cancer for Mr. Buffett in the next 10 years is probably 2 or 3 percent, so the prognosis is great," said Dr. Ralph deVere White, director of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California, Davis.
Buffett is known for a no-nonsense approach to investing. He is one of the world's richest men — his stake in Berkshire Hathaway is worth about $44.6 billion — and in recent years he has become one of its most generous philanthropists.
He and Berkshire's board have a succession plan in place. Berkshire plans to split Buffett's job into three parts — CEO, chairman and several investment managers — when the company does need to replace him.
He told shareholders in February that Berkshire's board has chosen someone to succeed him as CEO — someday — and he said there are two backup candidates.
None of the three has been publicly identified.
Buffett has said Berkshire hasn't even told the successor and backups who they are. But he has said his son Howard, a member of Berkshire's board, would make an ideal chairman. And Berkshire has hired two hedge fund managers — Todd Combs and Ted Weschler — over the past two years who Buffett says are capable of eventually running the company's entire portfolio.
The AFL-CIO, which owns some Berkshire stock, has submitted a shareholder proposal that's up for a vote at Berkshire's annual meeting in May asking whether the company should be compelled to disclose more specifics about its succession plan. More than 30,000 people typically attend the meeting to hear Buffett and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger answer questions from analysts, reporters and shareholders.
Berkshire's insurance, railroad and utility businesses typically account for more than half of its net income. It also owns clothing, furniture, brick and jewelry firms and has major investments in such companies as American Express Co., International Business Machines Corp., Washington Post Co. and Wells Fargo & Co.
Although Buffett's investment success has made his a household name — and made him a Wall Street oracle — he still works in his hometown of Omaha and lives in a house he bought in 1958.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men — more than 241,000 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States this year. More than 90 percent are early-stage — like Buffett's — and nearly all men with such diagnoses survive at least five years.
Buffett's case is likely to renew controversy over PSA blood tests. A leading government task force warns against them for men old than 75 because prostate cancer usually grows so slowly in older men that it rarely proves fatal. That means many men are treated and suffer side effects unnecessarily. The American Cancer Society says only men in good health with a life expectancy of at least 10 years should consider a PSA test.
"Mr. Buffett made a decision to get it, but that may not be the right decision for every man in that age group," said Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, the cancer society's deputy chief medical officer.
Likewise for treating the disease. Any man at that age should have "a careful conversation with his physician about the pros and cons of treatment," let alone which type is best, Lichtenfeld said. "We're becoming increasingly aware that not every man needs to be treated."
Buffett has chosen radiation treatment — five days a week for six weeks. During radiation treatment, people feel tired and have some risk of urinary and bowel problems but usually can work and live normally, said Dr. Sean Collins, a radiation oncologist at Georgetown's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"It's kind of like kindergarten — the hardest part is showing up," he said.
Many prostate cancer patients die of something else before the cancer kills them. Buffett concluded his letter with a nod to that fact.
"I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change," he wrote. "Eventually, of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off."
Berkshire's class B shares rose $1.09 Tuesday to close at $80.76. They fell 95 cents after hours following the announcement of Buffett's diagnosis.

Trying to pry people out of RP realms just by offering free transfers just isn't going to happen. RP is very community and socially oriented, and you're essentially asking someone to leave people behind. Perhaps some people get tired of lag, login queues, or are ostracized by everyone at large, but it's never enough to get meaningful numbers to move. Nor will it ever be enough. Moonguard will almost always be on that list for server transfers.

The problem is that people keep GOING to that server. I'm on Sisters of Elune, and I lost 2 guilds because of the rumors of the golden streets and chocolate trees of Moon Guard caused them to just disband and perform a mass exodus.

This morning, the New York Islanders unveiled the jersey that they will wear for the 2014 Coors Light Stadium Series.
The jersey is classic Islanders blue with a modernized take on the Islanders traditional logo with a sleek chrome backing. The logo features the classic NY lettering with the hockey stick Y that has four red stripes on it; one of each of the team's Stanley Cup wins. The team lifted the logo from the team's historic mark, enlarged it, and added a chrome border.
This same logo will be featured on the custom made hockey pants that the New York Islanders will wear during the Stadium Series.
According to the press release featured on the Islanders official site, the players have had very positive reactions to the new sweaters.
It's sharp," said captain John Tavares. "It's going more for the modern look, which I think is a great idea, especially with so many teams going back to the retro. We're going to look good when we go out there."
Center Casey Cizikas was particularly fond of the logo.
"The logo stands out," the center said. "That's the main objective of the jersey. That's what you want to see and that's the most important part. It makes the jersey perfect."
Left wing Matt Martin was particularly fond of the new nameplates, which slightly vary from the norm with a white nameplate and blue lettering for the players' names.
"I love the nameplates with the white on the back," Martin said. "Our gloves have a little bit of white on them. It's awesome with the chrome. The logo and the colors are bold. It's going be a great jersey and I can't wait to get my hands on them."
Speaking of getting your hands on them, these exclusive jerseys are currently available to purchase for all New York Islanders season ticket holders. They will become available to the general public on Black Friday, November 29th.
Here is a video, courtesy of the Islanders Official Site, highlighting some of the players' reactions.
What do you think of the new Islanders jersey? Let us know in the comments below.

Problems displaying shortcode contents in non-standard BP 1.7 themes
We're having problems displaying the contents of shortcodes inside the tabs of our BuddyPress Custom Profile Menu plugin. This only happens in non-standard BP 1.7 themes, but works as expected in themes like "BuddyPress Default" that ships with BP.
Researching the issue some more, we found the following line in bp-core-theme-compatibility.php (line 525)
bp_remove_all_filters( 'the_content' );
This is clearly the cause of the issue, as it removes, amongst others, the 'do_shortcode' filter function from 'the_content' filter (function added to filter in WordPress' shortcodes.php, line 335). Why does BuddyPress remove all 'the_content' filters when in theme compatibility mode? Does this mean that shotcodes cannot be displayed in this mode?
Thanks in advance!

Part 1 of 2: Assorted Bitcoin bits and prices
- 9:07 pm Friday, March 28th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
One of my neighbors thinks that Bitcoin is a fantastic idea and that it will be around 100 years from now. Warren Buffet has called it a "mirage" and not likely to last two decades. Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen Communication considers this almost intergalactic currency to be "bullet proof". With Bitcoin conferences cropping up all across the country no matter what you think, there is no discounting the fact that since reaching its all-time high the price has fallen 50 percent.
The Bitcoin (BTC) story is a complicated for those of us who think of "mining" as something that happens when [More]
Boat show was big on yachts and little on discounts
- 8:48 pm Monday, March 24th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Being a value shopper, I figured by going to the boat show a few hours before it closed on Sunday would yield some attractive pricing on a floating vessel. For the most part, that wasn't the case.
It's clear that promoters of this year's Palm Beach International Boat Show were overcome with joy at the response to this four-day event. In addition to who knows how much was racked up in the sales of yachts and ordinary people's vessels, cocktails and food, Mother Nature did her part by adorning the party with perfect weather.

When Fed Chair Janet Yellen speaks Wall Street shutters
- 6:33 pm Thursday, March 20th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
You've got to wonder who is really in charge when prices on Wall Street hit the skids during and after Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen's Wednesday afternoon remarks. It sure can't be common sense investors.
For openers, Yellen said pretty much what money financiers had expected: Cutting another $10 billion in bond buying next month was considered likely to happen, unemployment hasn't hit the target rate of 6.5 percent that the Fed is aiming for before making any hike in interest rate changes, and, inflation continues to remain below their 2 percent target.
But what spooked Wall Street was the Fed Chairwoman's comment [More]
Where's my Wall Street bonus?
- 1:09 pm Monday, March 17th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Every now and then, usually around bonus season, I wish I had stayed in the brokerage business. It was great fun —and challenging—selling securities. The reason I left the sales part of the financial industry was two-fold: First, I didn't care for the fact that management valued your worth based pretty much only on how much money you made each and every month. It's that old, "You're only as good as your last sale" mentality. And, it was a turn off for me.
The second: I'm not 100 percent money driven. In my world, there is more value to a person's [More]
ETFs show their stuff with impressive 5-year returns
- 12:29 pm Wednesday, March 12th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
These five-year birthday celebrations for a bull stock market really get to me. Why? Well, if I'm celebrating my 5th birthday, there is more than a reasonable chance that I'll have a 6th, 7th and dozens more yearly birthdays going forward. Not so for stock market returns where the bulls and the bears battle it out year in and year out in hopes of gaining some modicum of bragging rights—like a 5-year celebration.
Now that that's off my chest, five years is a reasonable amount of time to look back and review how one's investments have performed.

Keeping the money that could be coming your way
- 6:13 pm Saturday, March 8th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Rich or poor, we sure are goofy about our money. I mean, given the importance of the subject, it's amazing how people can somehow forget about the money they've tucked away in retirement accounts. Or, are unable to keep the fortunes that their granny has passed on to them going on from their generation to the next.
As important as saving hundreds of thousands—if not millions— of dollars for retirement is, recent LIMRA Secure Retirement Institute research found it wasn't unusual for American's who worked for companies that offered defined contribution (DC) retirement plans to walk away from their job and [More]
We are half way through America Saves Week
- 10:27 pm Wednesday, February 26th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
I'm a little late in getting this blog about America Saves Week posted. But, when you consider the subject—saving money—a little late is better than never.
Officially America Saves Week began on Feb. 24 and will end March 1. The program started in 2007 and its goal is to promote good savings behavior. Nice idea no matter what your income bracket is. And, particularly in a country where spending wields far more clout than saving.
"Only about one-third of Americans are living within their means and think they are prepared for the long term financial future. One-third are living within their means [More]
Dear Kelly: Can the sleeveless look— it's not for female financial reporters
- 2:44 pm Tuesday, January 28th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
I'm a CNBC news junky. I have that channel on from before the markets open in the morning until around 6ish each day. While today's financial reporters on that network seem pretty bright and well versed, one thing that absolutely positively gripes me beyond belief is female financial news reporters who wear sleeveless attire.
Take Kelly Evans, for instance, a popular CNBC correspondent and co-anchor. As temps in New York City lately have ranged in the single-digits and low-teens, she's been sporting that sleeveless look.
Really, Kelly? It's cold outside. And as anyone who has every appeared on television knows, it's cold [More]
Love, marriage and the markets
- 9:17 pm Sunday, January 26th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
Before getting too nervous and jumpy about how stocks are performing so far this year, long-term equity investors would be wise to take a few clues from their own lives when looking at the market's short term gyrations. More specifically, if you've ever been in love you know what a bumpy ride that can be.
The same is true with marriage; those who have ever invested in it know firsthand that there's no straight shot upward to 'till death due us part happiness. The ride in both cases comes with twists and turns, surprises and uncertainties but with any luck at [More]

Why is it that American Corporations want the Government to fix their business problems?
It seems that the media Corporations ,who are still living in the past,want the government to fix their lack of foresight and ineptitude when responding to new technology,instead of then moving with the times and changing their outlook to fit with the new digital world. Frankly I'm amazed the Eastman Kodak did not want the US Congress to halt the advance in digital photography, so they could still sell film.
OR Have I got it wrong and it is more about control?

The Halifax Academy Knights opened its season in dramatic fashion winning its first-ever home game 50-14 over the visiting Northside Christian Eagles. Led by senior quarterback Ocean Maddox (153 yards passing, 116 yards rushing) the Knights were able to build a comfortable 36-0 lead before a lightning delay just before halftime.
Maddox got help on offense from Sophomore Sean Stephens who ran for 78 yards on eight carries and 62 yards on two catches, scoring 2 touchdowns. Stephens was relied on as well on many of the Knights two-point conversions. Eighth grader LaShaun Wilder led the Knights in receiving with 91 yards and two touchdowns as well.
"We really came out tonight and wanted to show what we could do. The kids all know the game plan and tonight they came out and executed it," Coach Harvey Porter.
Mikhail Braswell (9 tackles, 3 for loss) and Donavon Gilbert (8 tackles) led the Knights on defense.

Oakland's ATRP raises $1.2 million for blockbuster polymer, HIRING!
Oakland-based ATRP Solutions is generating a large buzz with a small ingredient, a revolutionary "designer polymer" that will substantially improve cosmetics and corner a share of the billion dollar cosmetics market.
ATRP plans to expand and hire with the help of a $1.2 million funding round from four investors including Audrey's Kitchen, a fund managed by the McGinnis family of Pittsburgh, and PLSG. In addition, the National Science Foundation has given ATRP two grants totaling $600,000 to support an advanced manufacturing effort.
Two chemists will be added to the team of seven (plus contractors) this year and ATRP plans to move to a larger space, yet to be determined. The polymer is expected to go on the market in the next 12 months, says Patrick McCarthy, ATRP president.
ATRP is short for atom transfer radical polymerization, a highly evolved process that creates designer products for specific products. The process was developed over 12 years by Carnegie Mellon's Kris Matyjaszewski and founding team member Wojciech Jakubowski.
"Each polymer can be designed for optimal performance," explains McCarthy. "We can sit down at a table and draft a plan for polymers much like an architect. We can design and build ingredients that will create breakthrough products."
Dubbed Advantomer, the polymer is a non-active thickening agent that will enhance makeups and lotions, giving them a distinct feel and longer shelf life. The solution also requires manufacturers to use less petro chemicals and fewer ingredients in products while improving their performance. Matyjaszewski won a Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award in 2009 for developing lower-risk alternatives in chemical and industrial production.
ATRP is beta testing the polymer with nine multi-national companies. The company expects to be acquired by a larger specialty polymer company.
"At the end of the day, it enables ATRP Solutions to make designer polymers that nobody in the world can make which gives us a strategic advantage," says McCarthy.

The Military Child Care System Remains a Model for Improvement
The military child care system offers a model for providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible child care, as described in the National Women's Law Center's 2000 report, Be All That We Can Be: Lessons from the Military for Improving Our Nation's Child Care System, and 2004 follow-up report. The reports showed that the military child care system provides an example for the civilian child care sector to follow in addressing gaps in the quality and availability of child care. A new study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) demonstrates that the military is continuing to work to expand the supply of high-quality care and make it more affordable for families.
Department of Defense (DoD) officials told GAO that families, particularly those with infants, often had difficulty finding child care due to waiting lists at many on-installation child development centers and a limited supply of eligible off-installation child care. DoD plans to address this shortage by constructing new child development centers that will add over 21,000 on-installation child care spaces, according to the GAO report. It is also taking steps to expand the availability of off-installation child care by increasing coordination with community-based providers and helping them meet DoD quality standards.
GAO also reports that DoD is working to increase awareness and accessibility of child care options by establishing a centralized, military-wide system for requesting both on- and off-installation care. DoD plans to actively market this system to service members once it is fully implemented.
In addition, DoD is changing its fee policies to reduce variation in the amount families in the same income category pay for on-installation care, according to the GAO report. The military subsidizes the cost of care, with families paying fees that vary by income and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) determining the range within which services and installations must set those fees for on-installation care. In school year 2011, OSD revised the fee ranges for the first time since school year 2005 to account for inflation and increases in service members' incomes and to reduce the variation for families in the same income category among and within services. OSD officials told GAO that within the next few years they plan to move toward a uniform fee policy across all services and installations, with a single fee per income category for installations in standard-cost areas and a single fee per income category for installations in high-cost areas.
In its efforts to improve its child care system, the military is once again demonstrating that its system is a model—not because it has achieved perfection, but because it continues to assess whether families' child care needs are being met and to design strategies to better address those needs.

No. Za/Zg does not need ANOTHER nerf. If anything, buff up regular heroics to 140VP, and increase the difficulty. If you think that creates too big of a gap from normal to heroic, then keep heroic at 70VP. There is no reason whatsoever to nerf ZaZg again. They aren't a wipe fest. I pug it all the time and rarely wipe. You might be the one causing wipes perhaps? I've been in ZA/ZG with numerous undergearred roles, and still get through them just fine.

Hit the arrows above to enjoy photos from the past 30 days.
It's been officially one month since I said goodbye to the ad agency. I am finding my groove back in the bike shop life and I have already have seen a couple successful milestones.
190 miles by bike. This could have been significantly more as I skipped most of last week, and there were a couple days early on that I didn't track my rides.
Salvagetti has a new website. We launched a revamp of Salvagetti.com as the kick off of new marketing plans.
Successful Labor Day sale. We blew last year's numbers out of the water.
Enjoying life. I've been seeing my wife more, spending a lot less time in the car, slow mornings with the dogs and unwinding my life a bit.
My last post on the new Surly Ogre commuter rig was my 1,000 post here in BikeShopGirl.com. 1,000 posts since starting this site in July of 2009 and I find it very fitting as I will be going back in to the bike shop life this coming Monday as the general manager of all things management at Salvagetti Bicycle Workshop here in Denver, Colorado.
As you may remember, I worked for a short bit at Salvagetti helping the owner here and there when we first moved to Denver. Salvagetti wasn't ready for a GM and so I moved on. A quick stint selling spandex at Pearl Izumi and then a longer stint in the advertising agency world brought me back to center. When the owner of Salvagetti and I started talking a month ago on what he was needing, I knew this was the answer we both needed.
I'm very excited to be at the helm of a couple very amazing shops here in Denver and can't wait to share the experience with all of you! If you are in Denver, give me a shout and come visit.
As you are probably aware, I am an active user and abuser of social media channels. By priority and preference I use Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest to converse with fellow bike nerds and promote this website.
I have been doing my best to Like, Follow and curate all local bike shops on the various platforms. While it is encouraging to see more and more local bike shops harnessing the power of social media, it is disheartening to see the limited updates, the Tweets that are simply Facebook updates with the fb link and the lack of engaging, original, content.
Many years ago I started this BikeShopGirl.com to empower women in cycling. Empower women to ride bikes, fix bikes and maybe even work in this glorious bike industry. Not to change how we ride, fix or work. I'm happy to see the work of Always, Shelly Sandberg and others taking center stage. I live like a girl because I am a girl and I would never want to change that.
There a notion, that may seem a bit crazy, that a a company or brand may do something solely to spread the love they have for their passions. A great example of this kind of notion is the Banjo Brothers Tiny Bike Shop Concert Series. What does this have to do about bike bags? Not much. Yet, it may have to do with banjos, bike shops and bringing together like minded people, hopefully like minded people on bikes.

During the past month of mad scrambles to get presents and my new routine of walking the streets of Boulder, Colorado, past boutique's and chains I have become jaded.
I believe my feelings changed around the time American Express started pushing "Small Business Saturday" the day after Black Friday several years ago. If you really are a small business owner, there is a chance you don't even accept American Express because of the raised fee's the card brings. Small Business Saturday should be sponsored by the US Treasury to promote the exchange of paper bills and metal coins, not plastic that costs the small business more margin (think 3% of the maybe 30% that the merchant may be netting.)
Back to my original thoughts.
I'm a proud gold card carrying Starbucks customer. Daily, I walk past many cute little coffee shops in Boulder, Colorado, on my way to the office in the morning. I have tried three over the past month, a couple of them numerous times, and it has been a 50/50 split of leaving with happiness. Maybe I have high expectations but to me a local business should deliver me an equal, or maybe even better, experience of the chain next store. I'll happily pay a bit more for this. The coffee should taste equal or better, the atmosphere should be welcoming.
This venting is not to ridicule the local coffee houses of Boulder but to prove a point that buying local does not mean that you should be settling.
There have been many comments over the years when I link to JensonUSA or any online retailer to buy a product that I'm not showing love for local bike shops. While I have the softest place in my heart saved for local bike shops with out the name "Trek" or "Giant" in their name, I also have a higher level of standards for these shops. Being a local bike shop does not mean you have arrogance about you, your mechanics are too good for hybrids and your bathrooms reek. Being a local shop means you need to be better, work longer hours, and have higher standards. If you can't deliver that, then I will take my money elsewhere and recommend for others to go somewhere I know they will be treated well like REI or JensonUSA.
As the world of consumerism changes, I don't believe Amazon is the devil or the end of local businesses. I believe local businesses need to step up the service, the quality and they will be happily rewarded.
A shop in Richmond, VA is taking a stand on safety by pulling on the heart strings of drivers.

I spent my spring working on this awesome show. Premieres
on AMC June 1st at 10pm. ***CORRECTION! THE FIRST EPISODE IS ONLINE NOW ON TUMBLR AND AMC.COM
I worked on this back in the spring of 2013 but I totally lost track of the fact that I never posted it when it was first published. I got called in to help an awesome editor Cass Vanini edit this series of :30 loopable living portraits of different athletes. It was a super awesome job thanks to the good people at Psyop.
This past January I was interviewed about my work on Dig, the short film directed by Toby Halbrooks. In it, I described how I used Adobe Premiere to help improve my workflows and simplify many of the steps in the editorial process. Check it out!
We're fighting for first place in the Youtube Award contest. Every view counts! Please watch!
For the summer of 2013, I was the Assistant Editor for Kevin Tent ACE on a project few ever get to do. Martin Scorsese was directing a commercial campaign for Dolce & Gabbana, and we were brought in to do it. "But why not Thelma?" you ask… Well she was busy working around the clock on a certain Oscar-nominated movie you might've heard of, so she wasn't available. By some act of God, Kevin got the call. Here is the complete director's cut that we made and used for the entire campaign's different edits (twenty-six different finished spots!). Enjoy!
Recently, In Lieu Of Flowers, a feature film I edited premiered at the 2013 Newport Beach Film Festival. It was directed by my good friend Bill Savage and starred Josh Pence (Gangster Squad) and Spencer Grammar (Greek). I wanted to drop a few reviews here and show some of the things people have been saying about the movie.
"Savage shows some real potential as a filmmaker with a soft and intimate touch."
In Lieu Of Flowers is a remarkably touching story, filled with strong portrayals of emotion and most importantly, the advent of friendship. Its real success is that it does not fall prey to genre conventions or force unrealistic goals upon its protagonists. Eric and Rachel are not going to solve all of their problems by sharing a cup of coffee; nor are they going to fall madly in love one night and forget the pain and sadness that has consumed their lives over a given period of time. There is hope, though, and In Lieu Of Flowersnever allows its viewer to forget that essential fact.
Hopefully I am getting across that there are a few flaws but at the same time, some many beautiful powerful moments that help this movie stand above others. [...] It definitely left a feeling of emotion for me, which to me is a successful film.
There are many moments in the movie where there are clever witty lines by the characters as the two lean on each other for support through this painful time in their lives. Their relationship with one another slowly evolves but it seems that neither one of them are fully ready to move on to a new relationship.

Please help - looking for old photos of the Central Police Station compound
Submitted by David on Tue, 2013-01-29 16:00
I'm looking for old images (photos, sketches, paintings, newspaper engravings, etc) that can bring to life the history of the Central Police Station (CPS) compound, its surroundings, and the people who were there - whether voluntarily or not!
If you can help, please let me know by email, or in the comments below.
Thanks & regards,
I'm providing photo research services to the Central Police Station compound project [1]. The photos will be used to illustrate books documenting the site's history, and also for information panels around the site.
What we're looking for
The top priority is to find photos of the buildings in the compound, ie the Police Station, the Magistracy, and Victoria Prison.
The hardest to find will be photos taken inside those buildings, so any leads to those will be especially welcome.
Other themes we're interested in illustrating include:
- The neighborhood around the CPS
- Crime & Criminals
- Police & Policing
- Judges & Justice
- Punishment, Prison, and Prisoners
So any images that show those themes will also be very welcome.
How they'll be used
Initially I'm casting the net wide, and trying to find all the relevant images that are out there – whether in formal collections, or tucked away in that old shoebox of family photos. I hope to get a draft copy of each one (just a quick snap on a digital camera is fine) so I can add it to our list of relevant images. This work has just started, and continues til June - or earlier if finding the photos goes well.
Later the graphic experts will look through those images to choose the ones they'll use in the books and displays. At that point we'll need to arrange to take careful professional copies of the old images.
The finished books won't start appearing until next year, so I'll say up front it's going to look as though nothing is happening for a long time after this initial burst of activity, but rest assured we'll be working on the project in the background.
Ideas of where to look
Local collections include the Hong Kong PRO, Museum of History, Police Museum, and Correctional Services Museum. Overseas there's the UK National Archive, the RAS, SOAS, etc.
For personal collections, I'm hoping we'll hear from people who worked in the Police Station, Magistracy, or Prison. Families whose older relatives worked there may also have something in the family album.
And anyone with collections of old (1940s & earlier) photos of Hong Kong may also have relevant photos.
How to help
If you know of any images that show the themes above, please let me know.
Or if you can think of other people / groups I should contact, that will be very helpful information too.
And if there is anything you'd like to check first, I'll be happy to answer any questions.
Thanks again, David

I think the Hong Kong Police may help with your search by placing an appeal in their Off Beat Newspaper. The paper is issued in both Chinese and English and is read by most officers.
Try contacting the Police Public Relations Bureau. Worth a try anyway.
Good luck and keep up the excellent (and fascinating) work.

Off Beat Newspaper
Thanks Jon, that's something I hadn't thought of, and a good way to reach police officers. I'll follow up.

Central Police Station
David, I presume you are aware that the publication "The Royal Hong Kong Police (1845-1945)" by Crisswell and Watson, pub. 1982, has several CPS photographs?

Books about Central Police Station
Hi Ian,
Thank you for the recommendation. I do plan to look through books that may have relevant photos, which includes books that collect old photos of Hong Kong, and books that are about the history of police / prison / courts.
For the police force I'll start with the list of books at http://gwulo.com/royal-hong-kong-police-force-history. If you know of any others that are relevant, please let me know.
Thanks & regards, David
