In Production: Graphic designers share their work
As the RISD Museum hosts the final stop on the tour of Graphic Design: Now in Production, an exhibition that began at the Walker in 2011, we're starting a series that updates the show by checking in with some of the designers featured in it, to see the work they have been doing since 2010.
Keeping with the show's themes about curation, we decided that the featured graphic designer would choose the next participant in the series. Opening that choice up to graphic designers that are not part of the exhibition broadens its already far-reaching contents and updates it not just chronologically, but in breadth as well. The series then becomes its own thing, a never-ending record of graphic designers and their work.
We start this series off by introducing our own work. The following is a selection of projects the RISD Museum Graphic Design Department has produced over the last two years.
Exhibition underwriting videos for PBS. Derek Schusterbauer (creative direction), Brendan Campbell (graphic design, animation).
The graphic designer I would like to choose to hear from next is James Goggin. I have been following James's work since he was a visiting designer here at RISD in 2007. Since that time, he has designed commissioned work through his studio Practise; gone on to teach at the Werkplatts Typografie in Arnhem, the Netherlands; served as the director of design, publishing, and new media at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; and now is working primarily through his studio again. He has designed numerous books, art catalogs, and posters, and he teaches, lectures, and writes. His project Dear Lulu is included in Graphic Design: Now in Production and his essay "Practice from Everyday Life: Defining Graphic Design's Expansive Scope by Its Quotidian Activities" is included in the exhibition catalog. James uses smartly chosen typefaces, bold but simple typography, and often experimental color to make contemporary graphic design rooted in modernism. Stay tuned for James Goggin's post coming soon.

Palestinian Arena
July 17, 2014
Israel and Hamas have reached an agreement on a comprehensive ceasefire that will begin at 6 a.m. on Friday.
Israel's government spokesperson Mark Regev said the IDF "does not target civilians" on the same day four children were killed while playing on a Gaza beach.
Three rockets landed in Israel's Eshkol region two hours after a temporary five-hour ceasefire was agreed upon by Hamas and Israel.
Eight Palestinians were killed overnight after intensive shelling by Israeli forces across the Gaza Strip ahead of a UN brokered "humanitarian" ceasefire.
IDF forces stopped an attempt by Hamas to infiltrate a kibbutz via an underground tunnel.
The death toll in the besieged Gaza Strip has reached 227.
Israel on Wednesday agreed to temporarily halt its assault on Gaza to come into effect on Thursday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Palestinian factions are not interested in drawing Lebanon into the current Israel-Gaza conflict, a senior Hamas official said Wednesday.
July 16, 2014
Four Palestinian boys were killed while they played football on the beach by Israeli shelling from naval boats in a horrific strike witnessed by AFP journalists.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu fired Deputy Defense Minister Danny Danon on Tuesday following criticism from Danon and others for accepting the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire.
The number of Palestinians killed in Gaza has now reached over 200.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that Israel would answer Hamas's rejection of a truce with stepped-up attacks.
July 15, 2014

Yes, this is part of his Navy Cross citation!
Cpl. Woolridge.
3/7 Wpns Co NO SHIT!…
In a battle of 15 Taliban Vs 1 Marine… Evidently, the Taliban is overwhelmingly outnumbered!
Navy Cross
Awarded for actions during the Global War on Terror
The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Corporal Clifford M. Wooldridge, United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism while serving as Vehicle Commander, Combined Anti-Armor Platoon White, Weapons Company, Third Battalion, Seventh Marines, Regimental Combat Team 2, FIRST Marine Division (Forward), I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) Afghanistan, on 18 June 2010 in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM. When their mounted patrol came under intense enemy fire, Corporal Wooldridge and his squad dismounted and maneuvered on the suspected enemy location. Spotting a group of fifteen enemy fighters preparing an ambush, Corporal Wooldridge led one of his fire teams across open ground to flank the enemy, killing or wounding at least eight and forcing the rest to scatter. As he held security alone to cover his fire team's withdrawal, he heard voices from behind an adjacent wall. Boldly rushing around the corner, he came face-to-face with two enemy fighters at close range, killing both of them with his M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon. As he crouched back behind the wall to reload, he saw the barrel of an enemy machine gun appear from around the wall. Without hesitation, he dropped his empty weapon and seized the machine gun barrel. He overwhelmed the enemy fighter in hand-to-hand combat, killing him with several blows to the head with the enemy's own machine gun. His audacious and fearless actions thwarted the enemy attack on his platoon. By his bold and decisive leadership, undaunted courage under fire, and total dedication to duty, Corporal Wooldridge reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service.
Action Date: June 18, 2010
Service: Marine Corps
Rank: Corporal
Company: Weapons Company
Battalion: 3d Battalion
Regiment: 7th Marines
Division: 1s Marine Division (Forward)

Over the past two weekends thousands of priests read out a letter to their parishes promising that the Church "cannot-and will not comply with this unjust law."
This is not a normal event for most Catholics.
And now look at the Drudge Report tonight:
Suddenly this is a Church, 70 million strong, that looks like it is spoiling for a fight.
But, you might ask, don't most American Catholics disagree with their Church on this?
That's true. Polls show that 95 percent of Catholics use some form of contraception and 80 percent believe that individuals should decide whether or not to use them without reference to the Church. And some of these peple couldn't care less what the bishops think, and vote without thinking of their faith or Church.
But that's not the whole story.
The Catholic Church is more than just a set of beliefs to which people give their intellectual ascent, it is a community that often resembles a querulous family. Just because you don't agree with your stiff-necked uncle doesn't mean you're going to stand by and watch someone push him around.
In large part the reaction of Catholics who do not agree or don't follow the Church's deeply unfashionable teaching hasn't been, "Oh, Obama's right, the bishops are wrong." The reaction has been, "I may not agree with the bishops, but why is Obama picking on my Church?"
It's almost tribal.
Even liberal Catholics like E.J. Dionne and Michael Sean Winters who (to differing degrees) question the Church's teaching on contraception and have been staunch Obama supporters in the past can't condone the Administration's decision.
And now suddenly the bishops are waking up. According to CBS News, the bishops may be contemplating an enormous March on Washington this summer.
And recently the Church has been receiving letters of support from the Conference of Orthodox Bishops in America and many evangelicals.
This really is shaping up for a major conflict. The regulation from the Department of Health and Human Services was issued as the final clarification after a long process of deliberation. It cannot just be walked back. And the Church has said simply that it will not comply with it, that to comply with it would be sinful. The Church cannot walk that back either.
And there are many Catholics in key swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida. Obama won the "Catholic vote" in 2008. Can he win re-election without winning it again?

By Laura Raines, for ajcjobs
A sour economy, high unemployment, dwindling investments, restructuring corporations and shifting industries — we're living in a period of great transition.
The upside to transition is that it is a great accelerator of everyone's development, say Bob and Lyn Turknett, principals of Turknett Leadership Group, a character and leadership development consulting firm in Atlanta.
"A lot of character growth comes in bad times, and character is the foundation of leadership," said Bob Turknett, CEO. "People can either be defeated by challenges and adversity, or they can be revitalized into new initiatives and drive."
He sees this "shaken-up" workplace as an opportunity for individuals and a spawning ground for new leaders.
"So many workers and jobseekers are looking for a competitive edge in this marketplace," he said. "Developing your character is the edge. It is the critical hiring issue."
"We consult with so many executives who say that they want the right credentials, training and degree in a new hire, but that's not the critical issue. They tell us they 'hire for attitude,' which is another way of saying that they hire for character."
Added Lyn Turknett, the firm's president: "If they can find someone with integrity and initiative, someone who takes personal responsibility for his actions and respects others, they can train them for the rest of the job. Focusing on your character can make a huge difference in your personal and career success."
Midlife workers, Lyn Turknett said, often have the misconception that "they are who they are — their character is formed."
"They confuse personality, which may be formed by a person's teens, with character, which is something you can work on for the rest of your life," she said.
Character development is not an option for leaders, they believe. According to the research of Robert Kegan, there are five levels of leadership development. People move from thinking the world revolves around them in adolescence to adopting behaviors and values based on their relationships and roles. At Level 3, we're motivated by pleasing others, Bob Turknett said. When people begin to develop their own value system based on doing what is right, live by it and model it for others, they are moving into Level 4. Level 5 leaders are honest, trustworthy, humble, open to learning and think globally, wanting to help humankind.
"Research shows that the most successful organizations and companies have leaders who are operating at the 4 or 5 leadership levels," he said.
After years of research and coaching executives, the Turknetts have identified integrity, respect and responsibility as the core qualities of leadership character. Their Leadership Character Model can be pictured as a scale. Integrity is the base, with respect and responsibility balanced on either side. Clients can enhance their character and leadership abilities by working on the qualities of empathy, lack of blame, emotional mastery and humility on the respect side of the scale; and the qualities of self-confidence, accountability, courage and focusing on the whole on the responsibility side.
"Character issues, such as excessive emotionality [not controlling your anger or anxiety], gossip [not treating people with respect] or blaming other people often derail careers," Lyn Turknett said. Conversely, learning to weigh others' viewpoints, accepting responsibility for your actions and gaining self-confidence can affect positive changes in your work and life.
"We had a client who had been expecting a promotion and was instead demoted to the poorest-performing division of the company. He thought he might quit but instead decided to apply his skills to the new opportunity. He thoroughly trained his replacement, then took his new division from worst to first and was doubly promoted the next year," Lyn Turknett said. "Clearly, we have the power to make changes."
Individuals can work on character development by taking free assessments online to learn more about their strengths and weaknesses; finding a trusted mentor or professional coach; or by reading books on the subject.

Graduate Program | Programs & Policies
Students typically enroll in 3 courses during their first semester, and 2-3 courses during the next 3 semesters. Most of these courses are selected from those offered by the Astronomy Department (see list), but students do have the option of taking courses in other related departments, such as Physics or Mathematics.
Courses are designed to give students a broad knowledge of the various branches of astronomy while covering the necessary background material in mathematics and physics. Each course is offered every other year, so first and second year students typically take classes together. Students from other departments and advanced undergraduates may also enroll in graduate courses offered by the Department of Astronomy. Students are encouraged to work and learn together on homeworks and projects. The typical class size is 5-10 students, which facilitates active participation among students and individual attention from the professor. In addition to courses, special seminars are frequently offered which survey current research in the particular fields. These seminars are meant to augment courses or to expose the participants to fields that are not traditionally the subject of coursework.
Graduate students also engage in research within their first few months upcoming arriving at Yale. Graduate students are required to complete two research projects prior to beginning dissertation research. One of these projects must be observationally oriented, and the other theoretically oriented. These projects, which are conducted in close association with a faculty member or research scientist, are vital in that they build the research skills that are essential for successful dissertation work. They also serve to introduce students to potential dissertation topics. Students often join a faculty member's group to continue with their projects during their first summer at Yale. Students also have the option of leaving Yale to seek outside employment during the summer months.
Teaching Fellowships are part of the financial packages offered by Yale, and are considered an important part of the training of a professional astronomer. The teaching load is relatively light compared to many other universities. Students aid in teaching for each of their first three semesters, and are given the fourth semester off to prepare for the qualifying exams. One additional semester of teaching is expected after advancement to candidacy.
The PhD qualifying exams take place at the end of the second academic year. The first exam is a written one; it consists of 10 problems, one from each course offered by the department, and the student is expected to successfully answer a given fraction of them in a given amount of time. An oral exam is given a few weeks later in the field of the student's chosen dissertation topic. The first-time success rate on these exams is very high. Successful completion of these exams advances a student to candidacy.
The next few years are spent in research. Dissertations are major pieces of original research, the results of which are often published as several articles in peer-reviewed professional journals. Students work closely with a faculty member, or possibly two, and have many resources available to them. Recent graduates have been very successful in obtaining excellent postdoctoral positions, prestigious fellowships, and faculty positions.

Cosmetics Can Kill Your Teen
A new study finds cosmetics and body care products teens use on a daily basis could be contaminated with chemicals.
The Environmental Working Group performed laboratory tests and detected 16 chemicals in blood and urine samples from 20 teenage girls between the ages of 14 and 19, reports FOX News.
According to a report released last week, these chemicals are linked to health risks such as cancer and hormone disruption.
The group recommends that consumers avoid the following ingredients when purchasing beauty products:
-- DMDM hydantoin and imidanzolidinyl urea, which are toxic contaminants
-- Fragrance and dyes, which can lead to cancer and problems of the nervous system
-- Methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone, which can cause allergies and problems of the nervous system
-- Parabens or "-paraben," which can lead to hormone disruption
-- "PEG" and "-eth," which are toxic contaminants
-- Sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate, which can cause skin damage
-- Triclosan and triclocarban, which can lead to problems with the thyroid and environmental concerns
-- Triehanolamine (TEA), which can cause allergies and contain toxic contaminants
Products to avoid include:
-- Anti-aging creams with lactic, glycolic, AHA and BHA acid
-- Hair dyes with ammonia, peroxide, p-phenylenediamine, diaminobenzene, and/or all dark permanent hair dyes
-- Liquid hand soaps with triclosan
-- Nail polish and nail polish remover with formaldehyde
-- Skin lighteners with hydroquinoneScary stuff! Tomorrow, pediatrician Dr. Cara Natterson gives us the bottom line on cosmetics safety in the latest installment of her "Dangerous or Safe?" series.
Do you let your teens and tweens wear makeup?

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Lucian Grainge, CBE, Chairman & CEO of Universal Music Group (UMG), UK Business Ambassador, Ari Emanuel, co-CEO of William Morris Endeavor (WME), Michael Lynton, CEO of Sony Entertainment, Inc. and superstar musician, entrepreneur and philanthropist will.i.am, have partnered with the Founder's Forum and UK Trade & Investment to host Los Angeles' first-ever Innovation Forum. The special 2-day event will take place on February 4th and 5th, 2013.
Bringing together prominent players from the global media, technology, venture capital and creative industry sectors with United Kingdom-based entrepreneurs, the Innovation Forum will seek to create and foster more collaboration between these established industry leaders and entrepreneurs through a series of topic-rich forums, pitch sessions and private conversations.
The United States and the United Kingdom continue to rank as the leading engines of global innovation in content and distribution. In the UK alone, the creative industries exported over £8bn ($13bn) worth of services in 2009 and accounted for 10.6% of all UK's exports. The British Government is supporting the UK's creative services through its GREAT campaign. The GREAT campaign showcases the UK as a world-class destination for business, investment education and tourism. It was launched for the Olympic and Paralympic Games London 2012 and will run until 2015.
On February 4th, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa will provide the Opening Address for the Forum.
Industry leaders confirmed to attend include: Daniel Ek, Spotify Founder; Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of Dreamworks Animation; Simon Fuller, Founder of XIX; Jean Rene Fourtou, Chairman & CEO of Vivendi; Casey Wasserman, Wasserman Media Group; Robert Kyncl, Vice President and Global Head of Content for Google/YouTube; and Randy Phillips, President & CEO of AEG Live; among many others.
Attending from the UK are: Lord Jonathan Marland, Chairman of the Prime Minister's Business Ambassadors and Trade Envoys; Ed Vaizey, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Communications and the Creative Industries; Ynon Kreiz, Ex-CEO/Chairman Endemol/Chairman Maker Studios; Ian Hogarth, Founder & CEO, Songkick; Michael Birch, co-founder of Bebo; Jimmy Wales, Founder & CEO, Wikipedia; Jude Ower, Founder & CEO, PlayMob; Alexander Ljung, Founder & CEO, Soundcloud; Michael Acton Smith, CEO, Creative Director and Founder, Moshi Monsters; and Sir Peter Bazalgette, Chairman of the Arts Council England, ex-Endemol to name just a few.
"Whether you are a digital start-up, venture capitalist or a content company engaged in proper business development, it is imperative that you think and act globally," stated Mr. Grainge. "Nowhere is that achieved more than through collaboration. The Innovation Forum is an effort to foster stronger ties between new and established entrepreneurs from the US and UK. I'm certain that international ties will not only be strengthened, but significant innovative collaboration will emerge from this unprecedented gathering."
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said, "There is no better time to bring together American and British entrepreneurs and innovators. I hope this gathering in California will produce a wide array of successful online and mobile ventures that enrich consumers around the globe."
"This is an excellent opportunity for two great industries, creative and entertainment, to come together representing the best of the UK and US to establish deeper relationships and to undertake business development," commented Lord Marland, Chairman of the Prime Minister's Business Ambassadors and Trade Envoys.
Jonathan Goodwin and Brent Hoberman - who co-founded the Founders Forum - said: "The Innovation Forum is an important event staged at a critical time for businesses aiming to grow. We are delighted to be involved and look forward to helping the hosts find real, practical ways to strengthen ties between the US and UK creative and entertainment industries."
The Innovation Forum LA 2013 is delighted to be supported by Universal Music Group, UK Trade & Investment, Lepe Partners, Tech City UK, Jaguar, Rightster and Shazam. The video below captures the spirit and uniqueness of this now global, invite-only event, created by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs.

All about Pinterest
If you're one of the very few who are not yet obsessed with Pinterest, then maybe it's high time you do a little research on why more and more people are signing up with this latest social media platform. Pinterest is basically like your online scrapbook, where you can "pin" pictures of almost anything. It's either you upload your own pictures, or you simply "repin" photos from other users. There's also a new tool where you can "pin" photos directly from the web.
Pinterest allows you to combine your interests and online social life all at once. By creating "pin boards", you can easily manage all your pictures based on their category (ex. For the Home, My Style, Fine Arts, etc.). Socializing in Pinterest comes in when other users find your "pins" and follow your board. Once followed, they will receive updates and notifications about new pins from you. Now, if you're still wondering why people are addicted to Pinterest, here's why:
- It's free and easy to use. – A quick sign up and you're ready to create your "online scrapbook". It's easy to collect or "pin" images. One click and it's there on your own pin board.
- It's about your INTERESTS. – There's a lot going on in other social media platforms. Pinterest is different from the others because it is only about what you like.
- It's a place to discover new things. – With Pinterest, there is no limit in what you can discover visually. There's always something for everybody.
- It can be used as an Online Gallery to sell your work. – Some artists are already using Pinterest to earn. They use it to display their work and to gain exposure as well.
Next time you go online, try to sign up and create your own board. Search for things that you like, pin as many as you want, and discover new things that simply interest you. After all, it's not called Pinterest for nothing.

Pat is strong on the war-peace question,
Submitted by Ed Ucation on Wed, 05/15/2013 - 10:32. Permalink
which should be the number one issue for libertarians, as we all know nothing grows the State like war. However, his economic views are dismally Hamiltonian, so it would be hard for me to support him. Rand Paul, on the other hand, is hard to pin down on anything, as he never expresses any principles. However, he is certainly less anti-war than Pat, which is a huge minus. Frankly, I couldn't get too excited about either of these guys and if this were the choice, I would simply abstain from beans.

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.
Follow Randball on Twitter
Monday marks the eight-year anniversary of Holy Cross upsetting the Gophers men's hockey team in the NCAA hockey tournament.
Gophers fans would love to forget this game ever happened. But per this tweeted photo from Paul Merrill -- at least that's where we saw it -- there is one vehicle in this state dedicated to making sure the memory lives on. It doesn't look like Photoshop to us, but what do we know? Love it or hate it, that's dedication.
Ouch. Never forget 3-24-06, MN sports fans. pic.twitter.com/T2T7Ze24eS— Paul Merrill (@StuffaboutMpls) March 20, 2014
If you are headed out to either the NCHC or Big Ten tournaments this weekend, be safe. We heartily suggest Gophers fans and UND fans meet somewhere between Xcel Energy Center and Target Center to have a drink, some laughs and quite possibly some verbal abuse.
But some of us -- including your humble proprietor -- were treated to exactly that on Saturday morning. As the U.S. and Russia skated in a preliminary round game 34 years after the Miracle on Ice, we could sense the momentum building toward a memorable finish. That said, we couldn't even quite recall what the international overtime rules were for a non-medal round game. Would they skate to a tie? Would there be endless overtime? Hard to say.
It could have been a moot point if not for the greatest of breaks, of course, for the Americans: the net being a centimeter or two off its moorings for what would have been a third period go-head goal for Russia. Instead, it was overturned in a review. The world wouldn't know as much about former Warroad star T.J. Oshie right now if not for that, but that's the beauty of sports. Heroes are born from oddities.
And honestly, the disallowed goal was just the beginning of the oddity. At the end of the five-minute overtime, we were treated to a shootout. But if your main guidepost for shootouts is watching the NHL, the Olympic rules certainly have one huge quirk.
We all know now, of course, that after the three-round shootout, it was knotted at one goal each. The surprise to some of us is what happened next: Oshie took the next round -- the first sudden death round -- for the U.S. after scoring the only goal of the regular round. And then he took another round. And another. And another. And another.
It is the goofiest, oddest rule that allows the same shooter to keep going in the sudden death as long as it is still tied. It really makes zero sense. But it was beautiful all the same because it was something we had never seen before.
Remembe when you listen to this that the time was 1963 -- 50 years ago -- and the parlance of the era was a little different.
That said, please do enjoy former President JFK express his displeasure about Team USA Hockey losing 17-2 to Sweden in the World Hockey Championships. It's part of some previously unreleased audio recordings from his presidency, and it is terrific.
And as usual, check your smoke detector batteries as the Wolves' season begins.
The NCHC, the new league formed after the creation of Big Ten hockey and featuring six former members of the WCHA, announced Thursday it will use shootouts to add an extra point to conference games tied after a five-minute OT session.
Per a press release from the league:
"The conference office and our member institutions are committed to engaging our fans in ways that provide them excitement in our home venues," said NCHC Commissioner Josh Fenton. "The use of a shootout at the conclusion of our standard overtime to determine an extra point within conference standings will make for an exciting race to determine the NCHC regular season champion. We are confident our passionate fans will enjoy this aspect of the game in similar ways to how it is embraced in the National Hockey League."
All NCHC regular-season conference match-ups will feature a shootout should the game end in a tie at the conclusion of a five-minute overtime period. Any game that uses a shootout will be officially recorded as a tie within the overall record of each team. The Pairwise ranking will be calculated knowing the game was officially recorded as a tie.
The shootout will feature three shooters pre-selected by each team following the conclusion of overtime. The team that scores the most goals among the three shooters will be declared the winner. Should the shootout be tied at the conclusion of the initial three shooters, a sudden- death round with one shooter from each team will commence until a winner is declared. Goaltenders will remain on the same ends of the ice for the shootout as they were for the five-minute overtime period.
The Division-III MIAC also recently adopted a shootout system.

Bought a Single Family home in 2013 for approximately $775K in Central, Seattle, WA.
Toby helped us buy our first home in Seattle and made the process very smooth and easy. We interviewed several realtors as part of our due diligence process, and my wife and I came away feeling that he was the clear choice. Toby has a consultative style and is very knowledgeable about the area (it's all about location!), and he is a great communicator. I am client-facing in my own business and so I had high standards for responsiveness, attentiveness throughout the whole process; Toby did not disappoint. He was also diligent when it came time to make an offer on looking at comparables, weighing the market, and consulting with us to make sure we got the right price (and didn't pay too much). He made the process easy, painless, and frankly fun. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others. Thanks, Toby!

Sold a home in 2014.
Toby is an invaluable resource for a new home owner or seller. He has a vast knowledge of construction and his advice cannot be found in your average real estate person. We could not have completed our sales transaction without him. He assisted with our landscaping needs, walking us through inspections etc. I cannot say enough good things about him. He will be our go to real estate guy for ALL our projects in the future.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $450K in Ravenna, Seattle, WA.
During our 10 month home search we found Toby to be patient and honest. He listened to what we were looking for in a home, what we liked and didn't like, and made suggestions accordingly. He is honest about what he thinks a homes value is and where he thinks that it will sell. His contracting background helped us understand the nature and cost of the updates that were needed and that we were planning to do so that we would understand the full price of the home. I would not hesitate to use Toby again.

Bought a home in 2012.
In addition to his background in construction that proves to be helpful when you're looking at properties and need suggestions on possible improvements and/or the quality of the home, one of Toby's qualities that I most appreciated was that he remained calm and level-headed throughout the home buying process. We were looking for a home in a very competitive area, and there seemed to be many buyers making offers that they may regret in the end. When we asked for his opinion on matters, I felt he always gave an honest answer that had our best interest in mind.

Bought a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $800K in Madison Park, Seattle, WA.
We recently purchased a home in Madison Park, Seattle with Toby's assistance. The service we received was ecellent. He was not only readiliy available but listened to us, advised us on the process and negotiated with the seller in an effective manner. During closure there was a little conflict and Toby, promptly took care of it. He was not only supportive during the process but also after the home closed. In short, Toby is a genuine professional, very dependable and helpful. It was our pleasure to work with him.

Bought a home in 2011.
Toby helped me purchase a home in 2011 when I relocated from London. His extensive knowledge in the Seattle area as well as construction was an invaluable help, I don't know what I would have done without Toby!
I really appreciated that Toby was able to help me assess estimated time and expenses related with renovation if certain parts of the houses that I've seen needed re-work from his construction experience. Also, Toby was great in connecting me to reliable contacts to inspect the house after I put an offer in, as well as after-sale, with contractors to maintain the house.
Toby really does provide a great end-to-end service, from house-hunting to moving in. He's become a family friend!

4greatpower2greatresponsibility0 asked: Haha oh you are more than welcome. I've seen your debates go on today and again I must commend you. You beat back all challengers with such confidence and for good reason. You know your shit and you know it damn well. That last one made me laugh so hard because acted like they won and they were so wrong in like every point. Keep doing you boo, you know your Spidey and you know it well. You back everything up with facts and comic book knowledge. That beats all the butthurt from everyone else lol
Bless you! As a rule of thumb, I try to be nice to each and every person I meet on tumblr. That being said, when some 16-year-old Stonefield fan that knows jack shit about the comics attacks me for defending MJ and expressing my concern over the upcoming film, politeness hour is over. I'm a fierce momma grizzly when it comes to Mary Jane Watson, as I'm sure anyone who follows this blog can tell, and I don't take too kindly to rude people (especially when they have no frickin' clue what they're talking about). Anyway, thank you so much for your continued support! It's fans like you that make running this blog worth all the time and effort.

Sometimes the greatest distance is between people. Whether a man alienates himself from society with a façade of cheerfulness, or two friends fail to communicate their feelings of betrayal, invisible barriers plague mankind. Although love should bring people together, when a stoic renter and a dutiful monk choose to court a widow's daughter, their mutual affections drive a bitter gap between them. During each encounter filled with mistrust and despair, the flaws of human nature slowly reveal themselves...

And a great cleavage is the next best thing to turn them on.
However, when it comes to women, just a simple smile is enough to get them attracted to men.
In the survey, it was found that women were also attracted to men with a good sense of humour, even though they were unattractive.
The survey led by popcorn makers Butterkist also revealed that stockings and suspenders, knee-high boots and short skirts also featured on the list of what men couldn't resist about women.
Thoughtfulness, generosity, and intelligence along with affectionate attitude made it to the list of biggest turn-ons for women.
"We wanted to get under the skin of what it is that makes someone actually irresistible," the Daily Express quoted a Butterkist spokesman as saying.
"We found it's a rare combination of things, both mental and physical," he added.
One in 10 admit having never met someone they could not take their eyes off.
One in five said they would make any excuse to spend as much time with the man or woman of our dreams.

Here are some excerpts from the Raiders press conference with general manager Reggie McKenzie and coach Dennis Allen after the draft. I've cut and pasted some of the questions and answers that were about the defensive line or Christo Bilukidi, who became the first Georgia State player to be drafted when Oakland took him in the sixth round on Saturday.
Q: Reggie, you drafted a couple of D-linemen who got into football late and some people see them as projects, do you see them as projects? And are they people you can be patient with to try and bring along?
McKenzie: Yeah, with all these guys, to a certain degree, are going to have to be brought along, but yes the D-linemen did get into football late but they are very good prospects. Even though they are a little raw we feel like we can coach those guys up and they will eventually be pretty good players.
Q: How do you, when you look at a guy like Bilukidi, who has not had a lot of football experience, he is pretty raw and he goes to Georgia State, how do you evaluate a guy like that? And you had said that you look at small school guys and how they face upper-echelon talent, was he able to show you that?
McKenzie: Well, for one, it is not his fault who he plays against, but with that being said, he is a big man with a great deal of athleticism and he hustles to the ball and you can see that type stuff when watching him play. You can see his ability to move laterally, you see his ability to play hard, but yes, playing against some SEC, PAC-12 type players, he did not have the chance to do that. But what you look for is, did he dominate at his level? And that he did. Bottom line, he is a big man with really good athleticism, and he plays like he loves to play the game, so we were down there in the draft and we felt like we needed to take a look at him. You know we had brought him in for a visit and interviewed him, spent a lot of time with him and we felt like we needed to take a further look and get this guy in.
Q: Today it was heavy in the defensive players. Did you go in today, did you want to address the defensive side or was that just how it shook out?
McKenzie: Well I think we went into the draft from day one to address defense. You've got to understand we have a defensive head coach and a defensive-minded general manager. Let's win on defense. As the day went, the defensive players were the players that were on the board so we didn't intentionally just go defense, defense.
Q: With the two defensive linemen, Christo [Bilukidi] and [Jack] Crawford, I know they both mentioned versatility, being able to do different things. Do you have positions that you think they're going to get at? Will one be an end, one be a tackle? Will they both be ends?
Coach Allen: Yeah, right now we're looking at Christo going inside and playing inside, and we're looking at Crawford as a defensive end.
Georgia State has broken ground on the sand volleyball arena, which will be located beside the Sports Arena.
Construction is expected to be completed later this year and the team will play its first season next year.
From GSU: "The venue will feature a tiered, three-court structure with permanent seating for 340 spectators and additional berm/sand seating around each court. An additional feature is lighting for night competition ….
"The facility entrance will be located off Piedmont Avenue."

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is one of those things you never realize you needed until you have it. It makes preparing meals in the backcountry so much easier thank to a cutting board that doesn't take up a ton of room and plenty of tools that, while perhaps not necessary, make life a lot easier. Plus, those bottles ensure I always have oil and hot sauce on deck, which, frankly, is the most important part.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I usually tend to just use a bit of tinfoil, a old beer box, and my trusty knife for anything I've had to do around the campsite as far as kitchen tools go. I never thought I would use this set as much as I actually did. From everything from setting up hobo dinners, to making eggs and bacon in the morning, I constantly found myself using this setup more and more around the campfire. Keeps everything in it's place and as a lot of others have said it makes for super easy pack organizing. For all your kitchen setup needs it's a purchase non will regret making, and doesn't add much at all to your pack weight or size. Throw it in your cup or whatever you have that's already taking up space in your pack that you could throw this in.

To look at my desk, dresser drawers, or truck, one would never guess how organized my pack is. That was the main reason I purchased this item. Things have got to have a place when you are living out of a bag. Everything works good and cleans up nicely. The way this thing rolls up is also nice. Overall a great piece of gear that is just the right size. Could have probably saved a couple of bucks by rigging something up on my own but now I don't have to go through any of that. Just reach in the pack and pull this out, undo the little clip, unroll it and start cooking. Things being easy is worth a lot. Ken
Better food, happier campers
Member since
I was slightly skeptical looking at this set, thinking it would be overkill. However, it has proved invaluable already after one trip. It's a little bulky, even rolled up without the cutting board, but unless you're going solo, it makes group meals much nicer. Cleans up easily, fairly light, versatile.
Member since
SAME HERE...I do several backpack/fishing trips in the appalachians each year...Its got everything needed for us to clean fish and prepare them to be cooked...I like how it pretty much has everything, then I can pick and choose which pieces to use when trying to pack lighter. Its a great piece to have in my opinion
Sean Rossetter
Member since
agreed on all of the above... especially the bulk part, it's pretty light and has everything you need but doesn't exactly come compact

Basic Set up Scenarios and Equipment
Don't have a computer? Well there are a few things to consider before you run out and purchase one. Only you can way your options to figure out what best suited for your needs. Sure cost will almost always be a large factor in making a chose, but here are a few others to keep in mind. Durability is important as it is going to get rattled around more than it would just sitting on a desk somewhere. How many of what types of ports can also be helpful as most items these days plug into USB ports to communicate with various equipment. It can eliminate the need for more than a couple of regular wall outlets as power on the go can be somewhat limited. Card reader for camera memory sticks although separate card readers can be purchased for very cheap. Bluetooth capability can make it easier to transfer files from computer to PDA or smart phone. Wireless/Wi-Fi capable this can make it simple to connect to internet or network work when near by some time even from the parking lot it will depend on the signal. Screen size and brightness especially if using out side or in a convertible. Battery life if you plan on using away from your mobile office such as on a plane. Some have rugged docking stations that can be easily adaptable to mobile office set up. A built in webcam used for video conference calling. Audio and video ports these can be helpful when connecting to car audio and/or video equipment for presentation, music, etc. Obviously software is important to get thing that fit your needs and can be expensive if it does not come in the computer software package. We will touch base on these items and more on Equipment and Connection Pages. Click here to search for your laptop computer and accessories.
One computer; Using one at all locations such as your office, home, and mobile office. This can have some advantages to other set ups as you will have less to spend on computers as you will only require one laptop. Another plus would be not to have to transfer files from one computer to another having the entire updated file in one location. This can be avoided by working from a memory stick or other portable memory. Although this is a cheaper way to set up this does have a few draw backs. The first draw back is that you will need to disconnect and reconnect at each change of location, not to mention having to carry the laptop to each. That being said another issue is laptop tends to get banged around a little or a lot more depending on how cautious you are with it, adding wear and tear on the entire machine like the hard drive disc writer/player. Pulling connections in and out of ports creates added stress as to the ports. As you will have some of this same wear and tear from normal use of your laptop in everyday use.
Using more than one computer; This can have some advantages and maybe necessary in some situations. You may have a desktop computer at one of the locations, which is impractical to move or take with you. You can utilize a memory stick/flash memory to save and access files, especially things like trackers and spread sheet that need to be up to date all the time keeping this in one mobile file will make it less confusing than updating multiple files. Things like emails and calendars should be set up to sync on accessing them this way you are all ways working with up to date data. Syncing these items will depend on which programs you use and will need to use their instructions on the best way for them to work together. Consult your support and help files for each.
Mounts for your computer; They are basically consist of a mounting plate, a height bar or pipe, a arm to offset it from mounting plate, and a platform where your laptop actually will sit or attach. These can vary in many aspects so you may want to look at a couple of designs then go to your car and/or vehicle with a tape measure. Figure out the approximate mounting point where you would like to bolt the mounting plate to your automobile. Measure the approximate height you will need how far over you what it to reach. Keep in mind weather you are going to have passengers in the front or back seats to avoid obstructing the access to them. Remember not to obstruct thing needed to operate the vehicle such as stick shift, climate controls, steering wheel, etc. There are some that are designed strictly for certain types of vehicles, you may want to take these same considerations before ordering them.
There is such a wide array of options in picking one for you so explore different ones and see which one fits your needs the best. Like weather or not you want it to be removable, how easy it is to mount your laptop, does it have adjustable positions and how does it lock into place. You can even find them with addition platform areas for mouse and accessories. Then of course the price can vary tremendously depending on the unit and the options you select. So consider all your personal preferences when picking out the one for you. Click here to shop for computer stands.

So consider all your personal preferences when picking out the one for you. Click here to shop for computer stands.
Internet on the go; Something to always keep in mind as you will more than likely want to connect to the information highway. This can be done several ways the most common for a portable laptop is to have what is known as an "air card". This is a card usually purchased from your cell phone carrier which in most cases will be faster in metropolitan areas when faster connections with their equipment is available. Another way is to use your cell phone as a modem basically like an air card only some phones have this capability you will need to find out from your carrier if this is possible. Another way is to transfer files from computer to phone via cable or Bluetooth connection and email from your phone. This way can save you money depending on your carrier. There are also satellite links available for very remote area or off-shore on a boat, these can be expensive. Click here to shop for cell phones and major carrier plans.
Printers, Scanners, Copiers; When picking a printer or All-In-One (Multi-function printer; printer, scanner, copier, fax) you want to consider the size of the unit and where you plan on placing it in your mobile office. Maybe you would prefer separate units for achieving these options. For instance you can get a small single page feed printer and a hand held scanner to save on room. There are many printers on the market and can be very inexpensive for even a multifunctional one. Pick one that meets your needs. It could be in your passenger seat, the back seat or even in your trunk. Picking a good spot is important, in other words if you are going to print things at often you don't want to have to get it out of the trunk and hook it up. If you seldom use it this maybe an option so it is not taking up room inside the car. I also found if you intend to scan legal size documents, an 8 ½ X 11 scan bed will not work, but if you get one with a multiple page feed for the scanner this is not an issue. Most inkjet printed pages are very susceptible to smudging and running when it gets wet (like when it rains). Even though an all-in-on will have a fax built in this will not be the way you fax documents (It will need to be scanned in and basically faxed through the internet using software such as efax). You may want to also consider the cost of ink refills, resolution, even single or double sided printing. If you are going to use the old carbon multi-page document a DOT matrix will imprint through all copies. Maybe you need one that will do 11X17 sheets this can be done, but they're usually not multi functional and require more room. If you really need to print something like full size drawings you would need a van or box truck to accommodate the size of the printer. Click here to shop for printers and scanners.
Power Inverter; Today most vehicles do not come with regular 120V AC outlet (like a regular wall outlet in your home), unless you are on a boat or possible in a RV. That being said you will need to plug some of your equipment in.. These DC (battery power) to AC (normal electric power) can be very inexpensive to moderately priced. Picking the right one for your needs will depend on what you plan on plugging into it. For just a computer you could use one a small as 400 watts, this may not let you recover from a totally dead battery. I would try to stay in the 800 watt range. If you plan on having another item such as a printer I would recommend one with 1500 watts or more. If you plan on using other equipment find out hoe many watts or amps it uses. A rule of thumb for this would be 100 watts for every 1 amp. This would be a total for all items you are running at one time. I would suggest having some extra watts so you are not over heating it or blowing fuses all the time. When you mount this in your mobile office you will want to place it somewhere that is vented so it can dissipate heat generated. I mounted mine on the under side of the laptop table so I can access the on/off switch and outlets. Mine also has a DC outlet to plug in other accessories light a radar detector. Some people have mounted them under their seats, in the trunk, or even under the hood. Click here to shop for a power inverter.
Routers; Installing one, basically creates Wi-Fi to use at home or in the office. These are small units that attach to your modem in your office or home that provide a Wi-Fi system with in the same. Some modems also act as routers you will need to ask whom ever you purchase your internet connection from. The speeds are usually determined by a letter such as "G", and "N". I believe as of now in 2010 "N" is the fastest available for small networks. If you purchase one it will come with directions on how to use. There has been some difficulty setting up between visa and XP operating systems and at this time I do not know about Windows 7. This can make it easier if you are bringing your laptop into your office or home to connect with the internet also allowing you to work away from your desk on your laptop. The distance will depend on router placement and what obstacles the signal has to travel from. These can be set up with different types of security levels for your private network. This is much safer than Wi-Fi at some hot spot in the mall or airport. Once these are installed you can create a network (communication between computers) if you would like. These are not too expensive for the convenience they provide. Click here to shop for routers.
Fax; Being able to send a fax can be very advantageous at times especially to companies or clients that may not have email. Faxing is an old technology that almost ever business and many people have. In some case an email is not legally binding where a fax is, so send a document via fax is necessary to complete the contract. This can be done by adding a software account to you computer allowing you to send and receive faxes via internet. This is done by using efax. Click here to get started with efax.
GPS; This is short for Global Positioning System, it works by triangulating your position on Earth from satellites in space (will not work in long tunnels, etc.). These antennas can be purchased for your computer and eliminate the need for other more expensive GPS devices. These will work basically the same way in your car driving down the road giving you a map view of your location and alerting you to up coming turns, depending on your software installed. Click here to shop for software and antennas.
