A still from Beyonce's new H&M campaign video.
Photo: Courtesy of Beyonce's YouTube Channel
Is it hot in here...or is it just Beyonce's SMOKING NEW H&M VIDEO?! Duh, it's definitely the latter. The clip for "Beyoncé as Mrs. Carter in H&M" officially landed this morning, and you guys, trust us when we say the superstar is taking island dreaming to an epic new level. Filmed earlier this year in the Bahamas (remember when the campaign was just a whispery rumor?), the vid stars Bey posing sultrily amidst the tropical palm trees and clear blue skies dressed in H&M's new swimwear line. Shot by Jonas Åkerlund, we hear the concept is to represent the four natural elements— fire, water, wind, and earth— in a seriously fashionable way.

After I finished working on this project, I had a tough time deciding what tone I wanted to give the Instructable. I asked myself "What thoughts or emotions does a children's doll attached to the front of a knife block incite?". There were so many choices: creepy, sick, offensive, stupid, dangerous, appalling, twisted, objectionable, distasteful ... the list goes on and on; however, in the end, I decided that "disturbing" would be the best direction to head in (but don't worry I peppered this entire project with a little of all those wonderful choices). That being said, if you do not enjoy being: creeped out, sick, offended, stupid, in danger, appalled, twisted, objectionableified (?), distastefuled (also ?), or disturbed, I suggest you stop reading now.
You have been warned.
I realize that you may have some questions about this project. Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also irrelevant: "Why?". That will be answered in the next step.
Your next question would probably be "How?". That will be answered in the later steps.
The Who, What, When, and Where are: me, this project, I'd say about 24 hours ago, and the tower.
Step 1: Why!?
Thinkgeek currently offers two different knife storing products. They carry the Throwzini and The Ex, and, as much as I love stuff from Thinkgeek, I must admit that both of these items are lacking in certain areas.
The Throwzini, while having a somewhat realistic effigy in the center, allows none of the knives to penetrate the figure. I assume that repeatedly missing gives the owner of this product a sense of failure, which can only be remedied when they stab their entire family to death.
The Ex is designed a little bit better. The user is actually given the opportunity to pierce the figure with knives, instead of just having the figure mock them with near-misses. This gives them a chance to release some extra aggression (apparently directed at their ex). The only problem with this product is that the figure being shanked is a shapeless, ambiguous, "artsy" representation of a person. Now, I don't know about you, but when I stab something, I like to be able to see it's eyes. If I wanted to jam a knife into something that looked like a preschooler's play-doh art project they were about to bring home to mommy well ... then I probably would do just that.
More blah-blah after this short video break.
Shh! If you are real quiet, you can almost hear the sanity escaping from my ears.
This (over)analysis of Thinkgeek products has given us a pretty good idea that the perfect knife block would include an easily hate-able somewhat realistic figure being penetrated by knives. Since Tom Cruise was unavailable, I had to think of what the ideal second choice "victim" doll for this project should be. If you haven't already guessed (you probably aren't too bright, since it was in the title of the Instructable) I chose Bratz dolls.
If you have not yet heard of these dolls, please stop reading now. You will be a much happier person. I promise.
Bratz dolls are what parents buy their little street-walkers in training. These dolls are the epitome of evil, strumpetiest of strumpety, embodiment of all that is wrong with modern society. Recent studies show a direct link between the rise in popularity of these dolls and a rise in the number of prostitots inhabiting local malls. Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing inherently wrong with prostitots (I've heard my fair share of "why don't you have a seat over there"s); however, when they clump together little can be heard over their shrieks of laughter and shallowness. The group's hive mind directs them towards unprecedented levels of consumerism. When their requests (for more toys, money, clothes, etc.) are denied, they cry and scream until their desires are met, thus giving credit to their terrorist tactics. Unfortunately, pesky little local, state, and federal laws prevent me from using an actual prostitot for a knife block project, but it is almost as satisfying plunging a sharp pointy object into their creator / idol.
Let the insanity commence!
He said if you couldn't handle it dont read. SOMEBODY didn't listen. :)

Hank Aaron Milwaukee Braves 16x20 Photo Signed - Ken Regan
Makes the perfect gift for the sports fan in your life!
This 16" x 20" photograph was taken by world renowned photographer Ken Regan.
Ken Regan was born and grew up in the Bronx. He studied journalism at Columbia and attended New York University's Film School. His photography career began in the sports arena where he covered the World Series, Super Bowls, the Olympics, heavyweight championship fights, Hockey, Basketball, Tennis, Auto Racing and other professional sports for Time, Sports Illustrated, Life, and Newsweek. Among the athletes that Ken spent time photographing are names like Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Hank Aaron and Wilt Chamberlain, Joe Namath and Mario Andretti. By the late Eighties, Ken had over 200 magazine covers to his credit.
Though Henry Aaron's Hall of Fame career is often defined by his 755 career home runs, and his epic chase of Babe Ruth's one-time-record of 714 career round trippers, the story of Hammerin' Hank Aaron's baseball life runs much deeper. He could hit the long ball with the best of them, but the legendary Aaron was a dominant all-around player, finishing his 23-year career with a .305 batting average and a record 24 All-Star appearances during his time with the Braves and Brewers. The legendary Aaron remains one of the most collectible athletes of his generation. This photograph has been hand signed by both Ken Regan and Hank Aaron and comes complete with a Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity.

2 tablespoons
creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup
soy sauce
1/2 cup
lemon or lime juice
1 tablespoon
brown sugar
2 tablespoons
curry powder
2 cloves
garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon
hot pepper sauce
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cubed
With the addition of 2 more tablespoons of peanut butter or "PBoy" as my 3yr old niece says, this marinate was truly delicious I pounded boneless skinless chicken breasts to 3/8in, marinated them overnight in this mixture, then baked them at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Served with rice pilaf and asian coleslaw.The family thoroughly enjoyed this one. Its definitely a keeper,Kiera. Thank you.
There is something off in this recipe ~ it just doesn't taste right as written! After reading through a multitude of reviews, there are to many consistent changes to the proportions. Will keep looking for a recipe more true to itself! Sorry....
608 Ratings
This recipe is a little off. It certainly does not taste like any satay I've had before. I followed the instructions exactly (after I scaled it down by exactly 1/2) and there were a couple problems with it. 1) The soy sauce was overpowering. I recommend using a light or low sodium soy sauce or diluting regular soy sauce with equal part water. 2) The peanut butter taste is almost non-existent. I recommend that the peanut butter be doubled to get a good flavor.
I was surprised at how tasty this was. I altered it a bit and left out the garlic and hot sauce. Marinated the chicken about 5 hours then sauteed the chicken in the marinade. The marinade thickened and clung to the chicken. The only complaint I have using my version is the chicken was a tad salty even though I used low salt soy sauce. My husband declared it one of his favorites and I'll make this again!
I enjoyed this recipe. I cut the chicken into strips. I followed the advice of previous reviewers and reduced the amount of curry powder and soy sauce. I used about a tablespoon of curry powder and 1/3 cup of soy sauce instead. It was great with the Satay Sauce, which I found on this site.
OK. So I make this recipe for the first time, thinking I'll enjoy it and can take some to work for lunch, right? The kids ate every piece before I could get to it. I had to make it again just to taste it myself and it was great!!!!! I use this recipe for almost every party/barbecue. Thanks for sharing such a adult and child friendly recipe.
Delicious and fast! Serve with chopped cucumber and red onion mixed with a little lime juice. Also, works great on a George Foreman Grill with or without the skewers.
Easy to make and nice results. I used more peanut butter and less curry.

NAMI FaithNet Newsletter: September 2011
In This Issue:
Mental Illness Invisible in Many Churches
By Katrina Gay, NAMI Director of Communications
Many families and individuals affected by mental illness acknowledge faith as a key component in their recovery and experience. However, a recent study sponsored by Baylor University reveals that mental illness within a family frequently damages the family's connection to its church.
Although the church congregation did not completely remove support from the families, the study found that families affected by mental illness ranked church as number two in their priority list of needs, while families without mental illness ranked it 42.
The study highlights that church communities do not fulfill the needs of congregants and often overlook families affected by mental illness, despite the needs the families have for support and assistance.
"The data give the impression that mental illness, while prevalent within a congregation, is also nearly invisible," said Matthew Stanford, Ph.D., co-author of the study.
The study appears in the online journal Mental Health, Religion and Culture, and is the first study to look at how mental illness of a family member influences an individual's relationship with their congregation.
In recent years, NAMI surveys of families and individuals living with both schizophrenia and depression reinforce the view that faith is an important component of people's experience and recovery with mental illness.
Many NAMI members recognized the importance of a caring congregation for families and individuals and, in response, formed NAMI FaithNet for the purpose of encouraging more supportive faith communities for those with mental illness and their families. Pointing out the value of one's spirituality in the recovery process as well as the need for spiritual strength for many caregivers, NAMI grassroots leaders have been working to educate clergy and faith communities about mental illness through outreach and education efforts in concert with NAMI Affiliates throughout the country.
Clearly, there remains a large need for this effort. While the low ranking of mental illness as a priority need for congregants not directly affected by mental illness may indicate that they simply are not aware of the unique needs of all families, this may also suggest that the help is not forthcoming when it is needed.
While the study may not highlight a fundamental problem with the church community itself, it may indicate a lack of understanding, or perhaps even shame, about mental illness.
The study surveyed 6,000 participants in 24 churches representing four Protestant denominations, so it is unclear whether or not the results would change with a more diverse demographic.
NAMI FaithNet respects all faith beliefs. It also recognizes the expression by the majority of those affected by mental illness of the importance of the role of their spirituality in their ability to cope with having one of these illnesses themselves or in caring for an ill friend or family member.
Introducing Bridges of Hope
By Carole Wills, Chair, NAMI FaithNet Advisory Group
For NAMI members and leaders who feel ready and eager to speak to faith communities, a second PowerPoint presentation, Bridges of Hope, is now available on the NAMI FaithNet website. The first PowerPoint presentation introduced at NAMI Convention in June 2011, Reaching Out to Faith Communities, is a self-study training tool for those who desire more background and preparation before reaching out to religious communities.
Bridges of Hope uses appropriate topics from Reaching Out to Faith Communities and adapts them to people of faith in congregations. The three topics are: What is mental illness and what is its impact?; What role can faith communities play in supporting and caring for people with mental illness?; and Who is NAMI and what does it offer faith communities? Length of the presentation depends on the speaker's pace and amount of discussion encouraged. It can be used in its entirety or in sections, depending on the audience's familiarity with the subject matter and time allotment. The main sections include:
How does Bridges of Hope differ from Reaching Out to Faith Communities?
Bridges of Hope is a presentation that NAMI members can take directly into faith groups. Reaching Out to Faith Communities is a study guide for individuals or groups who want more training before speaking to faith groups. The Reaching Out materials are relevant to building relationships with faith communities and are fundamental to understanding questions such as "Why should our affiliate reach out to faith communities?"; "How do we handle differing views about mental illness or stigmatizing remarks?"; and "How do I get started?" Reaching Out to Faith Communities is available also as a PDF file, along with other resources designed to support a NAMI Affiliate faith outreach initiative.
The goal of both Bridges of Hope and Reaching Out to Faith Communities is to equip and empower NAMI members and staff to become catalysts for change in faith groups, to educate them about mental illness and to share the NAMI story and resources with congregations. Developed by members of the NAMI FaithNet Advisory Group, these members trust Bridges of Hope and Reaching Out to Faith Communities will give NAMI leaders more confidence and practical tools for becoming a stronger advocate and educator within their local congregations.

Spring 2014 Style Trendology
Spring 2014 Style Trendology
Fashion is at an exciting point in history. We see so many amazing collections by designers year after year. We get hyped over the fearless models that work the runways, and most importantly we get to know the latest trends. For 2014 we're seeing electrifying trends both familiar and new, and all of them can be incorporated into your wardrobe.
We compiled a list detailing the trends we love from various collections. For women and men, plaid is making yet another comeback. And luxe sweatpants, seen in both Sergio Davila and Band of Outsiders' collections, are a great new trend to rock. Our list also features looks from Rebecca Minkoff, Tia Cibani, and A Détacher. So get familiar with some of the hottest fashion trends from this talented batch of designers.
Rebecca Minkoff–Plaids, Metallics, and Fanny Packs
Known for her chic handbags and celeb clientele. Rebecca Minkoff gave us a play on fabrics combining light-weight chiffons with heavy wools. Plaid was a repeated pattern, and there were several-metallic pieces. One standout accessory that we loved was the fanny pack. You could probably fit a Pepsi can in it pretty perfectly, just saying.
A Détacher–Plaid, Tweed, and Contrasting Fabrics
A Détacher is a clothing line from Polish-designer Monika Kowalska. She is passionate about the construction of clothing, and we saw just that on the runway. Take a look at how she contrasted light-weight fabrics with heavy-weight fabrics, as well as perforated-mesh bottoms and shiny silks. Tweed was popular and plaid was again incorporated.
Tia Cibani–Pleating, Cropped Sweaters, and Silk Vs. Wool
Tia Cibani is an internationally renowned designer, whose work has been featured in Vogue Italia and Women's Wear Daily. She makes quite the statement with fierce hats, pleated garments, and cropped sweaters. She also used flower-patterned silk in various looks. The silk and wool combinations gave the collection elegance and warmth.
Harare–Chunky Knits, Geometric Prints, and Pleated Dresses
Harare is a womenswear line from New-York-based designer, Caroline Fuss. We loved the chunky knitwear and pleated dresses from Fuss' recent collection. There were gorgeous-geometric prints and plaid patterns, yet again. And finally, a lot of green and red hues giving the collection an overall feminine-cozy feel.
Sergio Davila–Gold Accessories, Plaid, and Luxe Sweatpants
Sergio Davila is another New-York-based designer, who has established himself in the fashion scene. His 2014-menswear collection combined simplistic looks with killer-gold accessories. There were multiple-plaid pieces and luxe sweatpants, that looked ultra-hip paired with accessories or killer-moto jackets.
Band of Outsiders–Luxe Sweatpants, Earth Tones, and Plaid
Band of Outsiders is the clothing label from designer Scott Sternberg. The Los-Angeles-based designer used beige and brown earth tones for his latest-menswear collection. The many ready-to-wear looks had a lot of plaid patterns, hip hats and luxe sweatpants.

Gallery: Oil Spill Costs Rise to $3 Billion as BP Tests World's Largest...
Attempting to speed up the oil spill clean up in the Gulf, BP has just tapped the world's largest oil skimming vessel. This converted Taiwanese cargo ship known as "A Whale" was put through her paces during a trial run this past weekend in a 25 square mile area north of the ruptured well. Capable of skimming roughly 21 million gallons of oil each day, it's nearly 250 times more efficient than many of the 550 converted fishing boats and other vessels presently being employed as skimmers. The results of this weekend's tests are expected later today, and if all went according to plan, A Whale will become a central part of BP's $3 billion cleanup operation.
The skimming technique employed by the A Whale involves a series of vents situated on the vessel's hull. These vents allow surface water to be taken into the interior of the ship as it cruises. As the oily mixture is taken into the ship, a decanting process begins which collects the oil content found in the water. The remaining seawater is then released back into the gulf and the cycle continues.
The A Whale will hopefully move along the oil recovery process in the Gulf and buy BP a bit of extra time to find a solution to the 76-day-old problem.

Unfortunately, because of the depth of the leak, much of the oil gets trapped in between the layers of water which are either saltier or different temperature. And then there's the unfortunate use of the dispersant which is more toxic than the oil itself. The best option is to funnel the oil up directly from the leak itself. Instead of thousands of miles of boom at the surface, one square mile of tarp would have done better.

They should have done this BEFORE.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Eric Chavez hit two of New York's five home runs, as the Yankees beat the Red Sox, 6-2, on a day that saw Boston celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park.
On April 20, 1912, the Red Sox opened Fenway Park with a victory over the New York Highlanders, soon to become known as the Yankees. On Friday, the Yankees were again the opponent and both teams wore replica uniforms from 1912.
All living Red Sox uniformed personnel were invited to participate on Friday, and the former players and managers all entered the field through the center field gate during a pre-game ceremony. They wore jerseys from the time that they played and walked to their respective positions.
"That was fantastic, they did an amazing job putting this whole day together -- first class everything. I wouldn't expect anything less out of the Red Sox, obviously. What a special day for everyone," Red Sox outfielder Cody Ross said.
Alex Rodriguez, Nick Swisher and Russell Martin also homered for the Yankees on Friday.
Ivan Nova (3-0) gave up two runs on seven hits over six innings to pick up another win. He struck out five while improving to 1-2 in five games (four starts) against the Red Sox.
"He's a monster," Rodriguez said of Nova. "I don't know when people are going to realize that. He is a fantastic pitcher. He has four-plus pitches. All four pitches are above major league average."
David Ortiz hit a solo homer for the Red Sox, who have lost four in a row. Mike Aviles had two hits and an RBI.
Clay Buchholz (1-1) allowed six runs -- five earned -- on nine hits over six- plus frames. He gave up all five of New York's home runs.
"Today was just a matter of missing up in the zone," Buchholz said. "When you get a team like that, that can hit mistakes, you can't miss up in the zone or on the plate. That was the case today."
New York got on the board in the first inning and never looked back. Derek Jeter reached first on second baseman Dustin Pedroia's missed catch error, moved to second on a wild pitch and crossed the plate on Rodriguez's single to center.
The Yankees added a pair of solo homers in the second. Swisher got the frame started with a blast over the wall in left-center field. After Raul Ibanez grounded out, Chavez hit a homer to right-center field for a 3-0 lead.
But Ortiz responded in the bottom of the inning with a solo shot of his own. Ortiz's blast to left-center field was originally ruled a double. Upon further review, it was determined the ball cleared the Green Monster before bouncing back into the field of play.
New York continued the home run parade in the fourth. Chavez led off the frame with a blast over the wall in center for his 16th career two-homer game.
The first pitch to Rodriguez in the fifth sailed over the Green Monster and onto Lansdowne Street. The homer was No. 631 of Rodriguez's career, moving him past Ken Griffey Jr. for sole possession of fifth place on the all-time home run list.
Boston managed to get one run back in the bottom half of the frame. Ross led off with a double and scored two batters later on Aviles' double to right. The ball dropped in front Swisher, who had problems with the sun. Nova retired the next two batters to keep it a 5-2 game.
Buchholz gave up his fifth homer of the game in the sixth, when Martin cleared the Green Monster.
Cory Wade, David Robertson and Mariano Rivera all tossed a scoreless inning of relief to secure the victory.

Organic by John Patrick / Fall 2011 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
John Patrick was one of the first designers to work with eco-friendly materials in a sophisticated manner. His collection, Organic, is clean, well-tailored, and modern.
The designs he presented on Wednesday, however, felt a little more down-to-earth than Patrick's been in the past. This fall, his girl is in the country, cozying up with thick knit cardigans layered over floral chiffons, or out for a walk (in high-heeled, lace-up Hunter boots) wearing a kimono coat the color of sungold tomatoes. "I've never made a long chiffon dress before," Patrick said. "Putting it with a sweater, that romance, felt right."
The designer also emphasized his environmentally conscious message by projecting against one wall a quick-paced video showing where his materials come from and how his clothes are produced. There was also a QR code you could scan with your phone to access a source-map for his fabrics. Unfortunately both were more or less ignored.
It was an exhibition by artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, known for his ruminations on reflection, that provoked Patrick to revisit his raison d'etre. But it also may have had something to do with Patrick's recent permanent relocation upstate, where he's headed shortly. "I'm living in this cool warehouse, making miso and working at the food co-op once a month," he said. "It's grounding."

What a long strange trip it's been.
Sprint Nextel announced today in a SEC filing that it plans to acquire the Clearwire shares owned by Craig McCaw, a move that comes just days after Sprint agreed to sell a 70 percent stake in itself to Softbank.
Sprint's ownership stake of Clearwire had dropped in recent months to 48 percent. But with the purchase of McCaw's stake, the wireless carrier will once again have majority control of the Bellevue-based wireless broadband provider. It will own 50.8 percent, according to the filing.
The Wall Street Journal notes that the deal would help "clarify a long-dysfunctional relationship" between Sprint and Clearwire. With the new stake from McCaw's Eagle River Holdings, Sprint will be able to control the board.
McCaw founded Clearwire in 2004, and resigned from the board in December 2010.
Bloomberg reports that Sprint wanted control of Clearwire in order to be better positioned to utilize its spectrum and wireless assets. The third-largest wireless carrier also recently discussed buying the stakes of Intel and Comcast in Clearwire, but failed to do so. Last week, Bloomberg reported that Sprint does not want to purchase all of Clearwire.
Clearwire shares are down more than six percent in trading today, though they've jumped more than 50 percent in the past five days.
UPDATE: It appears not everyone is wild about the idea of Sprint taking a controlling interest in Clearwire. AT&T issued this statement, as reported by The Hill:
"Softbank's acquisition of Sprint and the control it gains over Clearwire will give one of Japan's largest wireless companies control of significantly more U.S. wireless spectrum than any other company. We expect that fact and others will be fully explored in the regulatory review process. This is one more example of a very dynamic and competitive U.S. wireless marketplace, which is an important fact for U.S. regulators to recognize."

In the Feb. 8 edition of the Sandusky Register there appeared an article concerning the disgruntled Summit County Sheriff and his filing of a complaint against Prosecuting Attorney Kevin Baxter. The Summit County Sheriff was upset that the grand jury for Summit County voted not to indict a deputy. The case was handled by the Erie County Prosecutor after others refused to handle the case. The Register article relied to a great extent on a story that appeared in the Akron Beacon Journal. However, noticeably absent from the Register article were important facts contained in the Akron newspaper. Specifically, the following was excluded from the Register article.
Excerpt from Feb. 5, 2010, Akron Beacon Journal article:
"Assistant Summit County Prosecutor Brad Gessner, head of agency's criminal division, said it was 'sad to see the sheriff trying to point blame somewhere else.'
Gessner said Walsh (elected Summit County Prosecutor) had considerable difficulty getting another agency to take Giffin's case, and that Alexander (Summit County Sheriff) was made aware of those difficulties.
First, Gessner said, the special prosecutor division of the Ohio Attorney General's Office was contacted in late August.
'They came to our office, reviewed the file...and the attorney general's chief of the criminal justice section, Jim Slagle, advised Prosecutor Walsh that they declined to prosecute the case," Gessner said.
Next, Gessner said the office of Portage County Prosecutor Victor V. Vigluicci was contacted. Vigluicci also turned down the case.
Medina County Prosecutor Dean Holman then was contacted, and he, too, turned it down, Gessner said."
It is disappointing that a fact such as the Ohio Attorney General's Office and two other county prosecuting attorney's offices had declined to prosecute the case was excluded from the Sandusky Register article.

Arbitration date set for Ducks' BoninoJuly 12th, 2012, 9:44 am by Eric Stephens, Staff writer
Restricted free agent center Nick Bonino has an arbitration hearing with the Ducks set for Aug. 3 in Toronto in case he can't come to an agreement on a new contract.
The two sides have been talking and can avoid the hearing by coming together on a new deal. Bonino opted to file for salary arbitration after accepting the Ducks' qualifying offer of $693,000 last season.
Bonino, 24, mostly centered the third line last season and had five goals and 13 assists in 50 games. It was his longest stretch of time in the NHL.
Most players and teams attempt to steer clear of a what can be a testy process. The Ducks haven't had many arbitration cases in recent years but they've cut loose players who have gone the distance with them or attempted to do so.
Two summers ago, the Ducks essentially did a sign-and-trade with defenseman James Wisniewski as they dealt him to the New York Islanders after agreeing to a one-year, $3.25-million contract days before a scheduled hearing. The club did not want to pay Wisniewski $4 million per season but the defender ultimately got a six-year, $33-million deal with Columbus.Read the rest of this entry »

Antique style convex printing...
December 31, 2012, 04:39:45 PM »
Hey there...
Anyone know how to print convex (bubble looking) antique style photos or someone that does convex printing? I've only found one company online in NC that seems to do it. Most of my customers are content restoring these images to 2-D. I have one that would prefer to keep it convex. Not sure if I want to attempt it. Wondering if anyone knows the process or a possibly another printer who does this. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

still be done today but I don't know anyone who does it, and if you could find someone it would cost a small fortune.
The glass used for these prints was in a flat sheet that was laid on top of a convex surfaced mold and then put into an oven where it would deform, taking the shape of the mold.
The prints were made using a different concave surfaced mold that was sized to produce a paper surface slightly smaller than the glass mold so it would fit into the glass. This mold was coated with rag paper pulp and allowed to dry. You'll notice that these photos are very thick and look something like paper mache on the back side. After the paper was dry it was taken from the mold, which leaves a surface as smooth as the mold itself on the image side. Light sensitive photographic emulsion was then applied to the smooth convex surface. The emulsion was exposed in various ways over the years, the most common being a contact printing process using a waxed-paper negative. It wasn't perfect, but it didn't need to be. After exposure the whole thing was chemically developed and put back in the mold to dry so it would retain its shape. After this second drying the image was drawn over and/or painted over, improving the clarity and producing a color image. There were no color photographic emulsions in those days.

I just completed one of these images for a client who insisted that the print be convex. After a lot of thinking and a little trial and error I was able to complete the project. It gets a little to complicated for a post I believe. Sent you a pm. Let me know if I can help. Ray

Ray... if we can have a thread that is 55 pages or so long with EXTREME details about the inner workings of an epson print head, I think it would be ok to post your process as well.
Plus, I'd LOVE to know how you did it!!
There are companies that make the curved glass and I do get customers in with these things that need restoring or possibly remaking. I'd love to offer that process.

I did some prints a few years ago for a small frame shop that was trying to accomplish this. They were asking me to supply prints on a thicker rag paper. I think I used William Turner. They had the glass from someone that supplies this sort of thing. I know they were wetting the prints and then trying to form them to the curved shape of the glass. I never saw the results but they said they had some limited success... however I think that they quickly realized that it was cost and time prohibitive for their particular situation. I too would like to hear experiences from someone who's actually successfully done this sort of thing.

Framah.... Let's see if I can make this as simple as possible! Yes, that other thread is making me incredibly nervous. I do all my printing with an Epson 4880 and 9900. The 9900 does 90% of the work. It is 27 months old, no firmware updates, no new wiper blade, an expired extended warranty, I can count all of the "clogs" on one hand, it just keeps chucking out beautiful paper and canvas!
Well, back to our regular programming. I too tried all of the obvious papers too no avail. If it were not for having to take the darkroom out of mothballs I would have tried that. I soaked various fiber papers trying to get them to mold. I agree that is not a good solution because the surface will always separate no matter how hard you try.
While trying to use papers, I had made a couple of moulds from the original glass. With one of the moulds I heated plexiglass in the oven and let it form to the shape of the glass. The contour was good but I was unable to control the edges. So.. I dropped back and thought about the advantage of being able to print the image on the trusty ol' 9900 and how that would allow me to get any type of image, not just b&w.
Canvas came up as my first choice of media. Now all I had to do is figure out how to shape it and have it retain that shape.
As luck would have it, my boots were due to be waterproofed. Like Eric my mind began to wander! Because I print and spray canvas I am very careful not to let any wax or silicone in the area. A few loose molecules in the air and disaster strikes. But here was a product that I knew would not get away, bees wax. So went to work and hatched a plan.
Waxed the inside of the glass and a small area on the outside edge, then applied low heat from a hair dryer to make the wax flow out and eliminate any irregularities. I now had decided to make a fiberglass mould. With fiberglass mat one layer thick (only!)on a sheet of waxed paper I saturated the glass mat and transfered it to the inside of the glass, removed the waxed paper and carefully worked all of the bubbles out of the resin with a short, stiff bristle brush. After it cured I was able to lift it from the glass and trim it out to the correct size. Now you are thinking that one layer is not sufficient, and yes there is some flexibility to the mould. But if you set it down and press on it you will see that because it is shaped like an egg it is very difficult to deform. The face is easily cleaned with lacquer thinner and then scuffed with sand paper to give it some tooth.
Now that I had a good mould I printed the image on canvas, coated lightly with mat spray and mounted it to the backing with Miracle Muck. The canvas has enough stretch that if you begin in the center and work your way around the edges there are no wrinkles. To accomplish this I placed the parts on a board with a piece of the brown release paper that comes in the Epson paper boxes (glue won't stick and its free). Began working from the center and just stapled it down all around. Next day I removed the staples, trimmed the image out, leaving enough to fold around the back and glue.
You can now mount the image as you prefer, touching the glass or not by the way you trim or space it. Of course all of this depends on whether you are cool with canvas as the image substrate or not. I can tell you it looked good and the customer was happy and that's what counts. I am sure that if I had pursued the paper route I would still be working it out. This procedure is cheap, safe , and repeatable
Hope this helps, Ray

I frame photos (and restorations) with convex glass, , but I don't worry about the curvature of the print itself as it really isn't
important unless the client
One of the original methods that larger 'studio photo' production companies used to form the convex print, was to shape it in specially designed pressure molds with steam and heat similar to the way felt hats were produced.
a quote from this....
"Brisebois said that bending or bowing of photos today was too complicated and costly a process to make it practical. His frames, he said, offer the next best alternative".
Ray has a good idea with pliable canvas.

I think i have it.... my only question: is the fiberglass shell now the backer for the image? Are you gluing the canvas onto the fiberglass shell?
Thank you for taking the time to post this. Sometime this winter, when I'm dead slow in here, I'll give it a try.

Framah... yes that is correct, the canvas is stretched over the fiberglass shell and attached with the adhesive. There are many more things that I could have added to the post, but I cut to the chase scene. A lot of trial and error involved here. Although after I have thought out this process, I believe it would be possible to greatly simplify it and almost make it routine with the correct tools. Fabricated a stretching devise in my head that would really simplify things.
I sure hope you don't get dead slow!
Perhaps another image would help. Hopefully, you can see the row of staples around the perimeter of the shell. These remain there until the adhesive has set, removed and the canvas is then trimmed with enough to make the back wrap. Ray

German waste to energy technology manufacturer, Doosan Lentjes, a part of Doosan Power Systems, is to deliver key boiler technologies for a new waste to energy facility being built in Krakow, Poland.
Doosan said that the plant will be based on its air-cooled reciprocating grate and boiler technology.
As a key subcontractor to POSCO Engineering & Construction of South Korea, Doosan Lentjes is to supply a complete boiler system for the plant, which will consist of two lines capable of processing up to 220,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per year.
The company added that the new plant is currently the largest waste to energy plant under construction in Poland.
According to Doosan the contract includes engineering, procurement and delivery of equipment as well as services for construction and commissioning.
The plant, scheduled for completion by the end of 2015, will combine Doosan Lentjes' reciprocating grate and steam generator technologies to produce electricity and district heat.
Doosan added that it has installed similar technologies at several waste to energy plants worldwide, most recently at plants in Frankfurt, Germany and Harlingen, Netherlands.
Once complete the plant is expected to generate around 8 MW of electricity and some 35 MW of heat.

The Serpent's Egg (Das schlangenei)
Drama, Suspense/Thriller
The Serpent's Egg, or Das Schlangenei is director Ingmar Bergman's second English language production (The Touch was his first). It is, however, his first completely non-Swedish production, made after his voluntary self-exile from Sweden over taxation issues. Set in Berlin in the early 1920s, it explores the fear and despair the city evokes in Manuela and Abel Rosenberg (Liv Ullmann and David Carradine), two Jewish trapeze artists. The suicide of Manuela's husband (Abel's brother), has stranded them in Berlin. Berlin is shown to already possess the sinister elements of cruelty and anti-Semitism which laid the groundwork for the later Nazi takeover. A series of misadventures gets them sent to a medical clinic for treatment. However, the clinic is actually a site for Nazi-type racial experiments on humans, which generally either madden or kill the subjects. Das Schlangenei was savaged by the critics for its improbable-seeming story and more particularly, for casting David Carradine (best known for his earlier appearances in the Kung Fu U.S. television series) in a crucial role.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

I'd like a system where I can explain to players why they're not getting regular football and perhaps put pressure on them when they get their chance.
In my current Newcastle game, I've strengthened the squad and the likes of S Taylor, Bassong and Beye are all back-up players, which has lead to them starting to get concerned about their lack of first team football.
I then played a league cup game and since it wasn't my priority, I decided to give them a run out, they all played badly and we lost the game. I also played a UEFA cup game and since I had topped my group and the game was meaningless, gave them another run out and we were 5-0 down at half time and although we managed to pull it back to 5-2 in the second half, they all played poorly.
Unfortunately the only mechanisms I currently have at my disposal is to warn them for a poor performance, but nothing to explain to them that if they play badly they can't really complain that they don't play more often.
My regular right back received a three-match ban for violent conduct and added to the uefa game, this gave Beye a run of 4 matches to stake his claim for the right back spot. However, his performances ranged from poor to average, so he gave me no reason to stick with him when my right back became available again, but he still got unhappy afterwards from his lack of football, even though he's not doing anything to warrant a place in the starting XI.
I'd really liked he option to be able to tell players that 'this is your chance, don't mess it up' which will obviously tie into their attributes. A strong, determined player who copes well under pressure might grab it with both hands and make sure he stakes his claim, whereas a nervous, weak player might crumble under the pressure and have a stinker, or an overly aggressive player might try too hard and get sent off.
I'd also like the option to talk to players when they complain and tell them that they're not getting picked because they simply haven't been good enough when they have been given their chance. I know I can currently tell them if they work hard in training they'll get a run, but that's not quite the same.

Out of the box, the quality is apparent. I discovered they are sized a whole size too big....the shoes for technical running should be fitted in the heel and mid-foot while comfortable with no friction. Once I found the right size, I tested them on a swift 12 mile run in the mountains and was surprised at the flexible feel and suppleness of an otherwise beefy shoe. The forefoot mesh flexes laterally across the top of the foot....giving that extra width when stepping down and springing back to a snug fit when the foot is relaxed. Perhaps they could still make a couple millimeters of width in the toe box. My feet are a standard width. The grip of the sole truly couldn't be better. A++. I could literally step anywhere in a pinch based on the demands of a fast technical downhill and the shoe stuck until my foot lifted off the surface. Perhaps Continental should make climbing shoes. The sole otherwise is surprisingly springy and I feel an energy return from what seemed to be a stiffer and comparatively "heavy" shoe. (10oz) I would recommend these over Solomon, LaSportiva or any of the other True Mountain running shoe. The speed laces stay put. Adidas makes a high quality and thought out product.

These are the best summer shoes i ever had, very lightweight, very breathing, very comfortable, and i find them very stylish. Mine are in red and purple color, they look perfect with every skirt , dress and shorts I have. My feets never become wet in these shoes, even if it's realy hot. Perfect! Sizing is very true, and again - really comfortable . ... read more
I love these shoes. I needed a comfortable, wide, sleek, black sneaker for work. This shoe fits perfectly. They were comfortable from the day I took them out of the box. I have a wide foot and am heavy set, these shoes give me the appropriate room for comfort. They look so nice, have great traction, and offer excellent arch support. My feet are ready for the rest of the day, once my work day is completed! ... read more

Mobile Tiny House Transports 5 Skiers & Boarders in Search of Fresh Powder Snow
Sam Giffin, Zack Giffin and Molly Baker had a dream to follow winter storms in pursuit of fresh powder and film their journey, but to do it on the cheap they needed their own mobile accommodations. Rather than live out of an RV, they built a cozy Tiny House on a trailer chasis in less than 2 months and outfitted it to make the most out of the 112 sq ft of space. They invited Neil Provo and Andrew Walbon to share the house while they rooted out the best skiing possible. During construction, the Giffins were aided by their friends and woodworkers Paul Bauman, Mountain Jack Smith, Kiala Smith, and Tom Wilton (amongst others).
With five people in the house, that meant there was only 22.4 square feet per person. The upstairs was outfitted as a sleeping loft while the downstairs included a small kitchenette, table, futon, storage and a small wood burning stove. The house also has a darling front porch, is powered with propane and a generator, and features an ingenious, space-saving leaflet spiral staircase. Five bodies alone take up a lot of space, but skiing gear on top of that meant that the group had to minimize their possessions and stay organized.

i have been burning straight oil, not converting it to bio, just filter it and dump it in the tank. been doing it for 5 years now. the tractor gets up to 50% mix in the tank. the old deere is pretty good on fuel, at 6 gallons per hour if i get 15 gallons a week to toss in the tank it isnt much but it helps.
use an old milk sock from the dairy pipeline for filtering the oil.
the bigger tractor has a "P" series pump and higher nozzle pressure so it can handle thicker oil in the tank.
the little 4020's have the rotary pump and pencil injectors, they run about 1000psi lower pop pressure, it can handle up to a 25% mix.
starting takes a couple more cranks in the morning. little more blue smoke at idle. gained about 100 rpm in the field. little more black smoke than the newer fuels.
on the new trucks i am not sure how the unit injectors are for sensitivity to any contamination or what not. in theory they should be great for running veggie oil or drain oil since they are at a 25k lbs pop pressure.

The bio-diesel is a great way to go. I made a kit up to use on our irrigation pumps on our ranch. After you replace your first couple filters you will be fine, and your clogging issues will be long gone with a squeaky clean system. The fuel does eat through some of the older fuel lines quicker than regular diesel but you can buy a couple feet of hos at 4.25 a gallon. You will also notice that your rig will run a little quieter and possibly better on the bio. This new low sulfur crap were getting is hard on our fuel pumps, no lubrication unless you run additives. And as far as the fuel tax goes, play dumb, I think there making enough already. Good luck, Adolf Diesel would be proud
Playing ignorant will just get you the same ticket. It would put me in jail as I have a signed DD Cert on file with the state. The Dyed Diesel has no road taxes on it. If I get caught using non taxed diesel in a manner that is considered taxable, I'm sunk like the Titanic.....and so is anyone else with a tax free affidavit on file with the states.
The only time they can get you is if you use that stuff on the road. Off road, they can't touch you.Don

I've seen the DOT guys dipping tanks more frequently lately. Hmm... wonder why..... They have definately stepped up looking for drivers using dyed diesel. It wont be long before they look for wvo and bio. The last guy I knew who got nailed for dyed diesel the fine was $10000 for the first offense. They don't issue these guys a sense of humor. You are guilty until proven innocent.

they are already talking about using the gps on cars to tax you on your miles. then they will be able to see how much gas you use for the miles you drive and tax you more for if you have a poor gas milage vehicle.
you havent seen anything yet. give it 10 years.
best of luck with the bio . i looked into it a little bit but getting oil here is no longer doable. seems to all be claimed by farmers with a deal with the restaurant, or other source. good for the farmers i say. i would try to get a contract with the restaurants. agree to pick up weekly or whatever works for them so they don't get over loaded. with your temps you could probably get away with strait oil burning with a diesel startup. you could run your radiator lines threw the oil tank to bring it up in temp. as said fuel lines and filters are a big thing, but thats about all it seems is needed. an older motor may be a big advantage. i did run into a guy up here that runs it in VW rabbits all summer but docent bother in the winter. however his tractor is run on it year round with a diesel start.
as for the gas tax. i would keep a record of fuel used and pay it. its not as bad as you may think, most of the $ per gal is going to the oil people not the road tax. should still come out well ahead. definitely should look into it before the ticket shows up.
keep us posted and best of luck.thanks for the help
hope i helped

Recently, after a periodic servicing visit for my car (which has a multi point fuel injection system), the mechanic handed me BG Fuel Injection System Cleaner Part No. 210 and asked me to put it in the car engine after filling the tank half full. I am not sure as to wether to put the cleaner fluid in the Gas Tank or the Oil Filter. BG's own site states that "This product is designed to be used with the BG 9210 Inject-A-Flush® Apparatus and BG 44K® Part No. 208." I neither have the BG 9210 apparatus nor the BG44k. Please suggest.

I would not put that product in the tank. It is designed to be used full strength. The BG 9210 Inject-A-Flush® is used to pressurize the fuel system and let the car run directly off the cleaner. The 44K is used in the tank after the 210 has been run through the injectors.

Pastor Maldonado and Romain Grosjean remain "optimistic" and "positive" about Lotus' chances at the Austrian Grand Prix...
Pastor Maldonado: "I know the track, but it was maybe ten years ago when I last raced there and it will be new for me in an F1 car. I think it should be quite good for the E22. It looks like the circuit doesn't have too many low-speed corners and the downforce and set-up is similar to Barcelona, which should help us. We will work hard to solve the problems we had in Canada so that we can reach our targets in Austria. I'm certainly optimistic Austria will suit us better than the last two rounds.
"[The last time I raced there] was in Formula Renault and I finished on the podium. Actually I think I won, but I don't remember to be honest! It's a high-downforce track. Most of the corners are very quick, especially in the second sector. It's a lot of fun to race there and I'm happy to be going back."
Romain Grosjean: "Competing in the Grand Prix will be my first experience there, which is a pretty cool way to get to know a track! It looks like quite a fun lap with some high speed sections and not too much low speed stuff - which hasn't suited our car so far this year. The track has a bit of undulation too, which is always fun as a driver. A downhill approach to a corner means you have to drive it quite a bit differently than if it's an uphill approach and Spielberg has both of those. It should be fun.
"We won't know for sure until we've been out on track, but I don't think the circuit should be as much of a challenge to us as Monaco or Montréal. Certainly there are fewer low speed corners which seem to have been more difficult for us this season and the downforce level could suit us better too.
"I am positive. Even though the end result in Canada might not show it, we've actually made good progress with the car and it's starting to feel like a real racer in how it handles and how all the systems feel. This is very important to me as it helps you get the most out of the car through every corner to make the most of every lap."

Nose hammer
This hammer was used on the first ascent of the Nose of El Capitan, 1958. It was made from a modified center punch. The handle broke during the climb and was replaced by John Whitmer with local oak hardwood for the final pitches. The hammer was tossed off after the climb with other gear and the handle broke once again and was replaced.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Vibram has the ascent and the trak two of what i would consider longer range fairway drivers but what I'm wondering is am I the only Vibram nut who would love to see them come out with a long range distance driver?????
Views: 687
I will second that emotion! I use my Ascents for the tightest fairways on the courses I play and they hold an awesome tight line through them.
Here is the link to the different Vibram discs page. The Obex...another mid range is in testing right now.
yes they do
do you have a Trak and if so what is it like------ I justed order one the other
I love the Trak! I have the full line of Vibram discs as I am a bit of a fanatic, but I also shot my lowest round ever playing with only Vibrams in my bag. Where the Ascent is more for shots you want to fade left on, the Trak is more for your shots that you want to play to the right. I find it to be dead on accurate on whatever line I put it on...hyzer..anhyzer, etc. Both discs are great off the tee...I highly recommend!
thanks can't wait to throw it------ I was thinking of doing a Vibrams bag ----- the Ascent is so easy to throw even for my old noodle arm
Yeah, I am 41, out of shape, and have only been playing for seven months. Early on I was introduced to Vibram and they upped the quality of my game significantly. I might get out driven right now by my younger, fitter friends. But, they are hard pressed to match my putting or up shots...most of which are done with my Vibrams. Just so very easy to throw and so accurate...
I'm 51 I play with my sons you are 33 and 28 and their friends they can out drive me but they have no touch on up shots they all get mad when I put my disc next to the basket
whats in your bag for some idea if I make a bag
Yep, same for me. Not saying all young guys have no touch...but, I remember being young and every sport I played it was more about being powerful and ripping whatever sports ball, disc, etc. we were playing with...than using finesse. Plus, I am still content to make sure I get par then to go hard for the birdie and risk overshooting the basket.
But, my bag changes pretty regularly. But, I always like to have at least two Ascents in the bag - firm and medium, 2 Trak's - firm and medium, 2 Ibex - firm and medium, 3 Ridges - firm, medium, and soft...I use the Ridge not only for putting, but it makes a great mid range disc and driver on shorter holes. And, I always keep one Summit - right now firm, A Sole - medium, and a VP - soft - in the bag.
The other ten discs in the big are a nice mix of some blizzard drivers, a flx ss buzz, a surge, and some other drivers.
I only putt with Vibram putters and my furthest made putt was with a firm ridge at over 40 feet.
thanks,two days of throwing the Trak and it still fades left.Granted,it could be my throwing and the weight is heavier than I normally throw.However,it stays in the bag for those lefty hyzer shots.Lands and basically stays put wothout any roll,skip.
thinking about that and one putter.
well,guess I'm the "old guy" @ 60.throw a mixed bag:Innova,Discraft,Discmania,Latt64,ABCDiscs,RipDisc,recent added the Trak by Vibram.Might be how I'm throwing and an old arm,haha.Short game will make one happy.Old school guy that still enjoys the fun aspect,never to old to learn tricks.
Object/target thrower from the early 60's,first frisbee was a Pluto Platter in '57..
Might have to look into this line of discs.the Ascent & Ridge will be the next 2.
Sooner then later with the Sarasota AM's tourney next in line around the end of May.
Thanks Norm for the input,you also Don.
