About LIM College
Math is the New Black
LIM College Math Center launches innovative video series to highlight math's importance to fashion
A new series of videos created by LIM College's Math Center, including math tutor Alexis Michaelides (Class of 2012), will reinforce the importance of math for fashion students by linking what they learn in class to what actually happens in the day-today business world. The first episode of "Math is the New Black," which features two recent graduates who now work in the fashion industry, can be viewed below.
Says Anahu Guzman, Director of the Math Center, "Students see the glitz and glamour of the industry in runway shows, magazines, and stores, yet they often don't realize the extent to which fashion is a business that requires both creative and analytical thinking to be profitable."
He continues, "Students, especially those enrolled in remedial math courses, often question how the math they learn in class relates to real life. The Math Center wants to expose these students to relevant business applications that go beyond typical textbook examples so they will be better prepared to enter the working world."
Each video will feature a current LIM College student interviewing an industry professional who will discuss the importance of math in their job, illustrating its significance with examples of challenges that can be solved using math. The videos will then connect these examples with content in the College's math curriculum.
Topics will include everything from market research through design, production, budgeting and planning, allocation, marketing, visual merchandising, sales, and business evaluation.
The professionals who will be interviewed for "Math is the New Black" will be young women and men who have either just launched their careers or have been working full-time for only a few years. Guzman believes that LIM College students will be able to relate with these recent college graduates as they contrast what their expectations of the workplace were when they were students to what they have actually experienced in the early stages of their careers.
Says Guzman, "If one were to analyze the process through which a fashion product moves from concept to consumer, he or she would realize that mathematics is critical to the successful completion of every step. We hope that this new video series will bring that message to life."

Pronounced: e-TOE-poe-side
Classification: Antineoplastic Agent
Etoposide works by inhibiting DNA synthesis in cancer cells. Because DNA is essential for cells to grow and reproduce, etoposide slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in your body.
Etoposide is given by intravenous (into a vein) infusion, over a short period (30-60 minutes) or in a continuous infusion over 24 hours. It can also be given my mouth in the form of a capsule. The dosage and schedule is determined by the person's size, type of cancer, and mode of administration. It can be given alone or with other drugs.
Even when carefully and correctly administered by trained personnel, this drug may cause feeling of burning and pain. There is a risk that this drug may leak out of the vein at the injection site, resulting in tissue damage. If the area of injection becomes red, swollen, or painful at anytime during or after the injection, notify your doctor or nurse immediately. Do not apply anything to the site unless instructed by your doctor or nurse.
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of Etoposide. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
White blood cells (WBC) are important for fighting infection. While receiving treatment, your WBC count can drop, putting you at a higher risk of getting an infection. You should let your doctor or nurse know right away if you have a fever (temperature greater than 100.4 F), sore throat or cold, shortness of breath, cough, burning with urination, or a sore that doesn't heal.
Tips to preventing infection:
For more suggestions, read the Neutropenia Tip Sheet.
Your red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen to the tissues in your body. When the red cell count is low, you may feel tired or weak. You should let your doctor or nurse know if you experience any shortness of breath, difficulty breathing or pain in your chest. If the count gets too low, you may receive a blood transfusion. Read the anemia tip sheet for more information.
Platelets help your blood clot, so when the count is low you are at a higher risk of bleeding. Let your doctor or nurse know if you have any excess bruising or bleeding, including nose bleeds, bleeding gums or blood in your urine or stool. If your platelet count becomes too low, you may receive a transfusion of platelets.
Read the thrombocytopenia tip sheet for more information.
Blood pressure may drop while this medication is being infused. When receiving this medication through a vein, your nurse will be checking your blood pressure before and during the infusion. It may become necessary to stop the administration of this medication or slow down the infusion rate if your blood pressure drops.
Take anti-nausea medications as prescribed. If you continue to have nausea or vomiting, notify your doctor or nurse so they can help you manage this side effect. In addition, dietary changes may help. Avoid things that may worsen the symptoms, such as heavy or greasy/fatty, spicy or acidic foods (lemons, tomatoes, oranges). Try antacids, (e.g. milk of magnesia, calcium tablets such as Tums), saltines, or ginger ale to lessen symptoms. Read the Nausea & Vomiting Tip Sheet for more suggestions.
Call your doctor or nurse if you are unable to keep fluids down for more than 12 hours or if you feel lightheaded or dizzy at any time.
This drug can affect your reproductive system, resulting in the menstrual cycle or sperm production becoming irregular or stopping permanently. Women may experience menopausal effects including hot flashes and vaginal dryness - read more about coping with vaginal dryness. In addition, the desire for sex may decrease during treatment.
Exposure of an unborn child to this medication could cause birth defects, so you should not become pregnant or father a child while on this medication. Effective birth control is necessary during treatment, even if your menstrual cycle stops or you believe your sperm is affected. You may want to consider sperm banking or egg harvesting if you may wish to have a child in the future. Discuss these options with your oncology team. See OncoLink's section on sexuality for helpful tips for dealing with these side effects.
In rare cases hair may become thin, brittle, or fall out. The use of scarves, wigs, hats and hairpieces may help. You may want to use a soft hairbrush and a gentle or baby shampoo to avoid stress on your hair. Avoid hair dyes, perms, bleaches or hair spray. Hair generally starts to regrow soon after treatment is completed. Remember your hair helps keep you warm in cold weather, so a hat is particularly important in cold weather or to protect you from the sun.
Visit OncoLink's section on Nutrition for tips on dealing with this side effect. Ask your nurse about nutritional counseling services.
This medication can also cause a "radiation recall". This is redness, swelling or blistering of the skin in an area that was previously treated (even years ago) with radiation. The goal of "treatment" for radiation recall is to manage the symptoms until it heals. Topical steroids or anti-inflammatory agents or cool compresses may help. Avoid sun exposure and tight fitting clothes that would rub on the area.
There is a slight risk of developing leukemia or other type of cancer due to treatment with this medication. This is most often associated with repeated treatments or high doses.
Some patients report a metallic taste during the infusion that may continue after treatment. Learn more about coping with taste changes on OncoLink.

← Back to Consulting Rankings
For the 2009 Vault European Consulting survey, we selected a
list of top consulting firms to include. These consulting firms
were selected because of their prominence in the consulting
industry and their interest to consulting job seekers. This year,
over 2,400 consultants participated in our survey.
The Vault survey was distributed to the firms on Vault's list in
spring 2009. In some cases, Vault contacted practicing consultants
directly. Survey respondents were asked to do several things. They
were asked to rate each consulting firm on the survey on a scale of
1 to 10 based on prestige, with 10 being the most prestigious.
Consultants were unable to rate their own firm. They were asked to
rate only those firms with which they were familiar.
Vault collected the survey results and averaged the score for
each firm. The firms were then ranked, with the highest score being
No. 1, down to No. 25.
Remember that Vault's top-25 European consulting firms are
chosen by practicing consultants at top consulting firms. Vault
does not choose or influence the rankings. The rankings measure
perceived prestige (as determined by consulting professionals) and
not revenue, size or lifestyle.

We are organizing a TEDx event, what advice you should give us?!
The next october we are organizating a small TEDx event so we want to ask you how you made one or what advices about organization and managment for the event can you give us, Thank You!
Feb 1 2012: What is the most important to do is be frank, not to manipulate some things.
Feb 1 2012: Hi Jang!
Thank you for your advice!Feb 3 2012: You've already had some good advice so I won't repeat it but I will say this... There are 3 things critical to making your TEDx event the best it can be. First, the Team. Get the mix right and you've already won half the battle. Second, focus on your Performers/Speakers. Help them tell their stories the best they can. And lastly, think about the Theme. This is what gives your TEDx identity. A TEDx can be anything you want it to be. The Theme is its spirit. It is that single defining image which everyone will take back home with them so give it some time and thought.
Ok. I'm done :)
Feb 3 2012: Wow! Thank you!
We didn't though the theme!
You are right! It's basic!
We are now plannig to go for the TEDx Summit but we hope to win a scholarship because it's really expensive to afford it for us... :S
Thank you again!
Hope to meet you all in some TED event or when you came to Argentina Contact us!
Feb 3 2012: Tu hablar espanol si ? De nada Chica :)
Yeah I had some money saved up so the TEDxSummit looks like it'll work out for me. And I know how expensive tickets are from that part of the world ! I was in Argentina, Brazil and (mostly) Chile for 5 or 6 weeks and I loved it there so might be going back soon !
Feb 3 2012: Siii! Hablo español!
Thank you again!
Hope to see you in the TEDxSummit :SFeb 1 2012: Hi Macarena, having a good team that meets, attendance at the speakers, and coordinate activities for breaks with sponsors and others organizations. Anything you may need, write me :-)
Feb 1 2012: Gustavo!
No puedo creer que me escribas!
Estoy tratando de pedirme el día para poder ir el 29 a la UTN!
Gracias por los consejos!
Espero que nos podamos reunir algún día así me contás tu experiencia e intercambiamos ideas!
Nuevamente gracias por tu aporte!
Feb 2 2012: De nada, mandame tu Skype por mensaje privado de TED y hablamos mejor. Ojalá puedas venir.
Gracias a vos!Jan 30 2012: I hope it will help you out more.
1. Your TEDx event it should cover the experienced as well as young talented speakers.
2. More room for creativity and as well as the affordability for the youth to participate.
3. Mainly focus on small businesses and education. (including all the sectors)
4. In the end focus what covers 99% people's need and helping them better ways to improve their standards. And forget about 1% bluechips :)...because they have their think tanks for this job, :D
Wish you all Good luck for hosting this event!
Jan 30 2012: Hi Naeem!
Thanks for your answer!
I'm agree in every point!
I Think it's very important to cover the most sectors we can!
Thank you again!
Jan 30 2012: Bienvenido! I have attended few TEDx events in my city. But most notable thing i've found here, that the younger ones really don't take interest (Age group 15-20). There are some very genius brains hidden in the slums in most 3rd World countries. Like here a 16 year working boy of 10th grade got the second position over all in the state where i live. There are several of examples like this. The Good brains should contribute to sow a crop for decades to come, for more innovations and brighter ideas. And i have my reservations for the entry fees here too. It should be totally free for the students though! I hope you guys will create some room for the students to make it more vibrant and ideological.Jan 30 2012: Hi Macarena!
Being born and raised in Buenos Aires, my answer will be biased (even if I have lived outside the country for more than 10 years).
I would focus the event on things / concepts that are necessary / good for the country / city.
My take would be:
Present, finding success stories of local innovators driving new business concepts associated with technology / remarkable people that changed their life through effort / organizations generating change that link Argentina to other countries.
Future, Biotech as the new economic sector. (what is the role of the universities, the state, the corporation, what's the vision, etc) / biodiversity as an asset.
It would also be interesting to have a speaker playing devil's advocate challenging locally held assumptions, like the damage on the soil of soya production or the real impact of mining vs other industries currently in place.
Just a few ideas
PS please make sure the registration process is not as bad as the one done for TEDx Buenos Aires 2010
Jan 30 2012: Hi Julian!
Thank you for your answer!
De paso podríamos cambiar el idioma!
Gracias en serio por las sugerencias!
El TEDx va a ser en Santa Fe! El nombre oficial es TEDxLagunaSetubal y con respecto a los speakers estamos tratando de que la mayoría sean oriundos de Santa Fe y variados en temas!
Me encantaron las ideas que tiraste así que lo compartiré con el resto del equipo organizador.
Con respecto al proceso de inscripción, los chicos se están esforzando mucho para que sea rápido y eficaz! Lo único malo es que por ser el primero, sólo podrán asistir 100 personas :(
Nuevamente gracias!
Saludos y ojalá si te interesa, puedas asistir!Jan 30 2012: I feel that a TEDx event should have variant speakers from all sectors , who can share innovative ideas which can make some economical sense to the masses.
When it comes to electing the speakers , may be an realtime experienced person might share an idea that can relate to all and can be good speaker than an professional in that subject.
Are you willing to restrict the event to few invitess / guests or you are making it public ??
Jan 30 2012: I'm agree with the speakers! We are trying to elect some of different sectors to make it more interesting.
Respecting the guests it's our first TEDx so we can only invite 100... We are going to make it public but we can only invite 100 :(
Thak you for your tips!Jan 29 2012: 1) Have a space
2) Have some great speakers.
(3: film it, because that's an obligatory TEDx rule)
That's the most important thing.
All the rest secondary, but will take more and more time. But always remember that it is "just nice to have".
Depending on how many people participate in organizing, you can add food, drinks, goodies, workshops, demo's, sponsor villages, parties, lighting, professional teams, booklets,...
Just ask yourself and your team what they really wish to ad & go for those enthusiastic ideas... that's where you tap into the passion of your volunteers, and really can let them show-off in those things that they love to do.
Jan 30 2012: Thank you Christophe!
We have the space. We are looking for great speakers and we will film it!
We are just preparing the documents to go for sponsors too so I think we are in the good way!
Sometimes is a little complicated to communicate each others because we are in different places but I think we are making the best in every little things!
Thank you very much again for your answer!Jan 29 2012: hi Macarena
I congratulate you for your event and wish you the best
I haven't organised any TEDx even, but I am looking forward to start organizing. Previously I have organised different events and have been part of some other events where I have gained some experience.
What I have learned from it was valuable. and the most important thing is communication.
It is hard to find the right people for your team and even harder to explain them the idea and its mission because where there is more then three persons in a team then there is more then three ideas to deal with and pick the best that suits you well. as they saying goes: "the devil is in detail" it means you have to go deep in detail of the ideas and find the true meaning. So you build your team first, communicate them your ideas in details and expect them to do so too.
if they and/or you miss something then it might cost you time and energy to fix it later on.
It is like running a project and being the project manager, so if you have ever done such thing you know that there are people involved in your event and every one needs to know WHAT / WHEN / WHERE (the triple W-s) is going to happen.
finding speakers for your event, I think, isn't just going out and ask someone to speak but to find out whether his or her ideas are worth listening and sharing. (ex: I might talk well, explain something clearly in details and easy to understand for every one but do I have an idea to share that is the question)
Wish you a lot of fun and all the best through your event

Meet the Renaissance Man (Created March 20, 2013)
He has been called a true renaissance man, and the culture and style of Leonard Cohen is hard to fit on a page, describe in a short biography or condense in a way that would allow this reader to truly understand the artist. A singer, songwriter, poet, musician and novelist, Cohen is one of the most compelling and engaging men of this – or any other – generation
As comparisons go, Cohen's name has been up there next to Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and other musical icons stapled not just in the 1960's, but those who have carried the torch well and into the 21st century. Still, none of them have the intellectual background of Cohen, who took up music at a young age but entered his undergraduate studies as a English major who would publish his first poetry books and novels well before he ever recorded his first album.
When Cohen did start writing music, he found his voice as a composer before he triumphed as a performer. That moment came in the summer of 1967 at the Newport Folk Festival, and Cohen never looked back. Through decades of making music, he is known for both his early albums ("Songs of Leonard Cohen," "Songs from a Room" and "Songs of Love and Hate") as well as his later works in the 1970's and 80's and beyond. Through the years his best-loved and most-recorded work was "Hallelujah," along with hits like "Everybody Knows" and "First We Take Manhattan."
Cohen has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. He is a Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honor, and in 2011 received the Prince of Asturias Award for literature. His most recent album, 2012's "Old Ideas," is his highest-charting release in the United States, 44 years after the release of his very first work.

I've been told that GR and QM are not compatible, is there an intuitive reason/thought experiment which demonstrates the issue? (Or one of the issues?)
Is there a thought experiment which brings to light the contradiction between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics?
The simple thought experiments are not related to the naive reason people give for the incompatibility--- people say that they are incompatible because of renormalizability. This is not easy to explain, and it is in fact false, because N=8 supergravity is with some scientific confidence renormalizable. But it's not a good theory.
The reason for the incompatibility is the behavior of black holes--- the fact that they have an entropy which scales as the area, not the volume. In quantum field theory, the fields near the horizon have infinite entropy, as shown by 't Hooft. So you need a different kind of quantum theory, one which is nonlocal enough to allow black holes to have entropy which goes as area.
This is the only incompatibility, since string theory is exactly such a quantum theory, and it is a consistent theory of gravity. So there is no further incompatibility left.
Here's why:
There are two singularities interacting with each other and they each have their own direction of time (anti-parallel to each other at the largest enclosing brane/sphere). We've gotten entangled with both. One cannot create both a persistent and consistent model, because an individual ultimately only belongs to one of them (each having their own separate sphere of causality).
Who says QM and GR are incompatible? Nature has both, and presumably, nature is consistent. String theory appears to be a theory combining both of them. Just because we don't know how to quantize gravity yet doesn't mean it's impossible.

The Deal: Shop designer pumps at Piperlime final clearance — up to 70% off
The Lowdown: At TBF, we're just as likely to hit up the local Target for a fab pair of pumps (or Payless if we're getting really fancy) as anywhere else — and we're firm believers (obviously) that you can get great looking footwear without breakin' the bank. That being said, we know there are designer shoe addicts out there — not that there's anything wrong with that. But we wouldn't be able to sleep at night if we didn't at least attempt a virtual intervention.
Instead of a support group, might we suggest you do your research and find your designer for less? Sure, it takes a little time and effort (so much for instant gratification) BUT the reward is worth it — and that would be more cash in your pocket. Think you can't get designer and name brand footwear for less? We beg to differ — Badgley Mischka pumps under $100 anyone? Exactly. No, it's not Christian Louboutin, but we simply must accept that there are some things that we just can't have (like, for example, Brad Pitt).

Recipe by REB_99
"This recipe is from a friend of my mother's. She used it for catering and has won the hearts of most who've tasted it. I've had to share this recipe with everyone who's been to one of my parties. Serve with whipped cream if desired."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
1 tablespoon
1 3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
2 cups
white sugar
3/4 cup
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon
baking powder
2 teaspoons
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
1 cup
strong brewed coffee, cold
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 (21 ounce) can
cherry pie filling
1/2 cup
cherry liqueur
I can't say enough about this cake, it was excellent! I didn't add the liquor, as I didn't have any on hand and I added whip cream into the layer and iced it with whip cream. It was so moist, everybody had seconds. I found my husband the next day with a fork and the leftovers.
I made this recipe exactly as written, and baked it in 2 8-inch round cake pans. The batter was very liquid. After 30 minutes of baking, the batter had oozed out all over the oven, and what was left in the pans was still jiggly inside with a baked crust on top. What did I do wrong? Everyone else seems to love it, and it looked so good. :(

Omagosh this is goooood!!! I made it once as the recipe stated with cherry pie filling & cool whip topping, and again with raspberry pie filling, topped with a chocolate glaze and mounds of fresh raspberries. MMMMmMmmm...it was so good. The cake itself is so moist and delicous, you must try this recipe.
I made this as a birthday cake and it turned out wonderful. Just rich enough without being too rich, very moist without falling apart. Used cool whip as a topping, as the cake is fabulous enough without a frosting. Only changes I made was adding a little cardamom to the batter and I omitted the liqueur this time (but will definitely try it next time.) Will definitely make this cake again.
I barely made any changes to the actual cake portion of this recipe but did use 1/4 cup applesauce in addition to ¼ cup oil instead of a full ½ cup of oil. I also used half of Hershey's Dark cocoa as well as regular unsweetened cocoa. Using the cake as a base, I added the following, loosely following another recipe:
Once cake cooled, I poked holes into each cake using a long tined fork then poured a mix of cherry juice and slight amount of brandy onto each cake. Then I used a mix of .5 cup creamed butter, .3 cup of /granulated sugar and almond extract to make a buttercream filling and put a layer on one of the cakes. I put one can of cherry pie filling (excluding juice) on that same cake then topped with slightly sweetened heavy whipping cream. I put the other cake on top then laid another can of cherry pie filling, sans juice, on top followed with more whipped cream. I used 2 cups of liquid heavy whipping cream when I made the cream for the middle and top of cake, which was perfect.
I had one slice right away and, while it was good, thought it was missing something, but didn't know what. The cherries were somehow boring as well. The next day, somehow, it was wonderful! It was very moist and the flavors were enhanced. I originally thought the buttercream was a waste of time; however, each day that passes (day 3 now), the filling flavor comes out more and really makes this cake!
I will definitely use this recipe for any chocolate cakes I make from now on!
Family loves this cake. To frost and assemble cake I use directions from "Black Forest Cake I".
This is excellent - beautiful results with relatively little work. I whipped up a big container of Rich's Whip and put it in between the two layers with the cherry filling, and on top with a few cherries for garnishes. My company was impressed with the looks and loved the taste.
Great recipe. I did not use the liqueur though. Instead, I bought the canned cherry filling washed off the liquid in it and mixed the chopped cherries with some of the whipped cream and layered the cake with it after drizzling with the cherry syrup. then topped with whipped cream. It was a super hit.

"They all sang 'happy birthday' to me," Natalia said with a wide smile.

1 pound
Bob Evans® Original Recipe Sausage Roll
French baguette (about 20 inches long)
1/2 cup
pizza sauce
1 cup
shredded Italian style cheese
2 ounces
sliced pepperoni
Good recipe, but the bread was too mushy. Try coating the bread with garlic butter first (or garlic/olive oil blend) and lightly toasting. Then, when you add the sauce, you will not drench the bread!
I made this tonight for dinner, and although I was really excited for it...it lacked something and I'm not sure what. I may try it again with a few modifications to see if I can improve it. I think some seasoning could help it tremendously. I did follow some of the recommendations by others to toast the bread first and to add additional toppings (I added green peppers and onions, which I sauted briefly before adding them. My bread was pretty puffy, so I carved out about a half inch deep trough to settle the toppings in. I put a little bit of cheese in with the toppings on the bottom layer to hold it together, and then I topped the entire thing with cheese so the toppings wouldn't fall off.

Fine pizza recipe with endless combination possiblities. If you use the french loaf and want a little less bread, you can scoop out the centers of the loaves to your liking. We did, and also found that provides an area to pack in more toppings like veggies!
Skip the sausage. Use pepperoni that has been microwaved between papertowels, for a non greasy dish that will draw raves from family & friends.
This makes a great quick meal that my kids absolutely loved--they were fighting over the last piece! Next time I will toast the bread before adding toppings to give it more of a crunchy texture.
I made this as a "pizza night" alternative and we thought it was great. I used hoagie rolls that I toasted first, and added sliced green peppers and mushrooms. What a great Friday night movie dinner!
How can I not give this recipe 5 stars? For starters it was easy and quick to make. But the best part was it got rave reviews from my husband, three kids and my daughter's friend. They carried on about how delicious it was for so long I was almost embarrassed about how easy it was to make. I used a regular loaf of french bread (not a baguette) and it was plenty as it is very filling. Thanks for the recipe!!
I have made many variations to this and none are bad. Use any meats & vegetables that you have on hand. Very quick and easy. My family even loves it when there are leftovers for the next day.

Bachelor of Arts
Transition to University study
The faculty offers two units AIX160 Introduction to University Study and AIX117 Professional Writing for Work, that are specifically designed to ease the transition into university study. New students are encouraged to enrol in one or both of these units in their first year.
Since several disciplinary studies are cumulative, in that knowledge, technical competencies, and, study and research skills develop across units, there are prerequisites that direct students to take some units before others. Students must seek advice from a course adviser before enrolling in units for which they do not have prerequisite or recommended units.
Assessment within the award of Bachelor of Arts varies from written assignments and examination to practical and technical exercises and performance. In some units assessment may also include class participation, online exercises, seminar exercises, and tests.
Cross-institutional arrangements
Continuing Deakin students may apply to study units offered by another Australian tertiary institution and have them credited to their Deakin University degree. Further information is available from Arts and Education Student Services and Enrolment Enquiries.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
In just over an hour, I will be hiding behind a pillow, mortified to see myself on Innerspace. The experience with the team who came to the house was fantastic. They made great efforts to make me feel relaxed despite my neurotic shyness and aversion to putting a spotlight directly on myself. And there was an actual spotlight to face along with the lens of a camera. As readers know, I generally avoid posting images or videos of myself online so this is a leap outside my comfort zone.
In honour of SPACE channel coming to the house, I wanted to get my images from Universal Studios Florida posted, featuring their Face Off models in wickedly wonderful costumes.
Next time I need to attend Halloween Horror Nights twice: once to look around, and once with a tripod! Considering these are all handheld photos taken at night, I think they came out pretty well.
I'm off to find the vodka.
And a big pillow.
It is with no great exaggeration that I say it's been a busy month. I was a vendor at the Bazaar of the Bizarre, submitted pieces for Nightmare on Queen St at 416 Gallery in Toronto and attended the opening night masquerade party last night (404 Queen St E if you want to go have a peek), and had two days to decorate for SPACE Channel (Canada's SyFy equivalent for my American readers). I love sharing my work but the idea of being on camera made me hide under the couch. The episode actually airs this evening at 6:00 EST on Innerspace.
With so much on my plate (not to mention an impending November move), I decided I would have my Halloween fun at the start of the month. I went with friends to Orlando for 5 days. One of our stops was to Universal Studios for their Halloween Horror Nights.
I've decided to go through some of my pictures today and post a few for you. We'll start with "The Purge". I didn't have a tripod with me, so most of the photos are in the daytime for this streetscape. Luckily I did manage to get some fine night shots in other areas.
But for now, some daytime shots of what it's like to be immersed in a city where the culling of people is encouraged. Smoke and the sound of gunfire fill the air. And even in the sunlight, it's impressive.
Happy October! I've been celebrating the best month of the year in Orlando, eating up all the Halloween activities I could stuff into a few days (pictures soon). Now that I'm back, I realize I need to tell folks what the heck is happening this month.
First day of FanExpo 2014 has come and gone. And so has most of my Montauks! I only have one bird (the one with the shawl) and two badgers left (pending a pickup tomorrow). Whew! That was fast.
It was pretty bustling for a Thursday. Perhaps being on a long weekend has spurred folks to take an extra day or two off work.
I wanted to start making art people could hang. I know that shelf space is sometimes limited, and personally I like having cool things on my walls. I came up with the Catacomb Creations. Each one has a small wire loop that allows you to hang the item, but it's also hidden so you can display it any way you want.
This year, Festival of Fear is in the North Building. But that's not where the horror goodness ends.
If you meander through back streets and alleys (Artist Alleys, in this case), eventually you'll come across a Dead End.
I have no idea how we've arrived in August, but Fan Expo is about to raise the circus tent in Toronto in less than two weeks. Despite my apparent black outs when it comes to time, my muscle memory has been hard at work, creating new beasties for the big weekend.
The site broke after Halloween. While my secret ninja web skills made it so published content could be viewed, the bug still remained that prevented me from uploading new content. Between work, ice storms, dealing with a small forest of downed tree limbs (still ongoing), and all that icky life stuff, we couldn't spend time to fix it until the new year.
But now I think it's all better.
Problem is, it's January. Life-sucking January. Motivation-squashing January.
Spring is when most people reorganize their houses. I, on the other hand, get obsessed with such tasks in the winter. Usually it's because I've turned my work spaces upside down by the time the chaos that is Halloween arrives. Full throttle creation leaves no extra time for proper storage of show gear or art supplies. never mind normal house stuff like hanging artwork that's been sitting around for months, or figuring out what special sort of light bulb you need for the ancient fixture in the bathroom.
And that's what I've been doing these last couple of months while waiting for the site to be fixed.
I even created a little nook of homage to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween in my office.
As we near February, I plan to finally start updating the site and maybe even start creating again. Wouldn't that be nice?
Oh there's never enough time, to bake the goodies, or edit the pictures, or post the content.
The world doesn't understand it's Halloween and I have better things to do than deal with real life problems when there are candles to light, and treats to be eaten!
But I am pausing to post before the night completely gets away from me.
Look for pictures of the theme decorations in the next few days. Perhaps it will help with post-Halloween depression.
Happy Halloween, folks.
Do something nice tonight, even if it's a simple indulgence that makes you smile.
Ghoul Friday
I still have to take some photographs of my decorations. In the meantime, I thought you might appreciate seeing some pictures of the Boo to You parade that takes place during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World.
The parade comes around twice a night, the second showing being far less crowded than the first.
I attended both, of course.
For that matter, I attended two parties, so you might notice a change in location, atmosphere and even some missing figures in photos of the same float. That's because the second night it poured, and I mean no fooling around rain that delayed the parade an hour. I will say though, I do like the pictures from that night a lot. There's something about the wet streets that add to the shots. Plus, that's the parade where Tweedle Dee (or Dum) came over and gave me a big smooch.
Unfortunately the Headless Horseman, who rides out before the parade starts, didn't make an appearance for the almost rained out parade, which meant I only have the blurry images from the first one. That being said, some of those blurs turned out pretty cool.
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.
