Pachira Money Tree Braid
How to Care for a Pachira Plant (Money Tree)
The Malabar chestnut (Pachira aquatica)
Plant hardiness zones 9b to 11, Department of Agriculture
Out in the open this can plant can grow up to 60 feel tall, up to 7 feet indoors.
Usually this plant is sold with a braided trunk which symbolizes locking in the luck or money.
Money Tree has become very popular, especially in the office and is very easy to grow.
Symbol of good luck and prosperity.
Prefers indirect light and will tolerate low light which is why they grow so well in the office. As the money tree grows the lower leaves may slowly turn yellow and fall. Or, you can just prune them off as needed.
Indoor growing once the Money Tree has been thoroughly watered the plant can go 10 days before watering again. Water just enough so the plant does sit in water.
The soil on top can go slightly dry before adding more water. Putting sphagnum moss on top of soil can help the plant stay moist longer.
In the spring is a good time to start fertilizing. I would fertilize every other month half strength starting in February until September and let rest for the winter.
Any indoor fertilizer, or a time release fertilizer.
Money Trees can be pruned as they get taller and leggy. Cut back any yellow leaves and prune down to keep the shape full. Sometimes a braided stem may die and may lose one part of the plant.
You may have purchased your Money Tree in a 6″ container. After a few years you can transplant into a 8-10″ new container with clean potting soil. New shoots may grow from the bottom away from the main stalk.
Rhapis Humilis
Sansevieria Laurent II
White Anthurium in Newpro Rectangle
Carnivorous Plant
Hoya Genus
Maiden Hair Fern
Potho n Joy – Arrowhead Bowl
Succulent Bowl
Super Roots Air Pot
White Dendrobium with Red Anthurium
Sansevieria Zeylanica in ASI Earthwall
Shamrock ( Oxalis)
What a better way to start your spring, a green oxalis foliage with small white flowers. Shamrock Plant is a clover relative. Cherished for the resemblance of four leaf clover. Makes a great St. Patrick's Day gift plant. Shamrocks are fun and easy to grow indoors.
Oxalis Trangularis called false Shamrock, edible perennial plant as popular as a pot plant called Love Plant or purple Shamrock. The Shamrock grows in a mound of purple foliage with clusters of pink trumpet shaped flowers.
Oxalis can be poisonous to pets. Origin Mexico, 6-12″ height, hardy zone 7.
Shamrocks grow from tiny bulbs. Low growing foliage may be planted in fall or early spring. Soil likes to stay lightly moist during growing season. Allow soil to dry out between watering when dormant/winter.
Fertilize with half strength when soil is moisten first. Summer Shamrocks like a good leaching to remove accumulated salts. Prefer in summer shaded areas. Repot crowded Shamrock in late winter. Clean potting soil. If leaves become damaged from salt buildup or mites, cut back to roots. New foliage should return in days. Excess roots can be passed on to friends-they are that hardy.

Since 1966, I have worked out in the world seeking to understand ways of perceiving and working that give us the capacity to deal well and sanely with this troubling time. My work, writings and teachings are a constant and consistent invitation to see the world with new eyes. If we are to contribute to this unendingly complex world and the complicated, exhausting lives we now live, we need to develop much greater insight and understanding before we choose our actions.
Seeing with new eyes gives us the capacity to solve problems instead of creating more of them. As someone remarked, "the cause of problems is solutions." With new eyes, we can discern more clearly and have genuine influence. And we develop the confidence and strength necessary to persevere in the work that is ours to do.
Each of my eight books is an invitation to explore world views that offer very different insights and perspectives. [You can read the description of my writing journey here] Since 1973, I've worked on all continents (except Antarctica) with an unusually broad variety of organizations: from the head of the U.S. Army to twelve-year-old Girl Scouts, from CEOs and government ministers to small town ministers, from large universities to rural aboriginal villages. I began my global work serving in the Peace Corps in Korea in 1966-68.
At this critical historic juncture, I now challenge leaders everywhere with these questions: Who do you choose to be for this time? Do you contribute to the deterioration of human capacity by your silence and compliance, or do you act bravely and use your power and influence to champion the human spirit, using the resources available to create islands of sanity wherever you can?
Please explore the many resources available on this website to gain a better idea of my work and the ideas and issues that are of most importance to me.

|Remember: I journal about the story behind each photo on my Flickr page-just click on the photos to the right!
Thank you for bearing with me throughout this moving process - it's been a very busy couple of weeks saying good-bye to Wisconsin and hello to Indiana! I'll be posting many photos of our house and the progress we're making in the next few posts - I HAVE been keeping up with taking a photo every day (many MORE than one at that!) but just haven't had time to sit down and upload them to my computer and/or blog about them! So it's time to play CATCH UP!
This week was our last week in Menomonie and I spent it with as many family members and friends as I possibly could! I got to see my sisters 3 days in a row, had a family cook-out, a bonfire with my siblings and enjoyed lots of time outside in the beautiful summer weather! It was all very bittersweet and although I tried to spend as much time with my family as possible, I know that it may be a while before I see them again - they won't be able to just 'pop in' whenever they're in town and I think I'll miss that the most... it will take some adjustment.
I hope you've been enjoying your families and spending as much time outside as possible - summer is too short!!

Intervju med Xavier Samuel
Intervju Magazine intervjuade Xavier Samuel, som spelar Riley i den kommande filmen Eclipse! Xavier pratar om filmen, fansen, och mycket mer!
BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD: So now that you're almost on the other side with Eclipse, how has everything been for you? It's all been a little wild, right?
XAVIER SAMUEL: Yeah, it has. It's kind of like being struck by lightning in a way, because it all seems so improbable.
HOWARD: Eclipse is your first American film.
SAMUEL: It is. I've been doing American auditions for a while, and it always felt sort of like sending these audition tapes off into the ether. So just
HOWARD: When we were shooting Eclipse, it was amazing for me to see how the girls all went berserk over you.
These girls were totally losing their minds—and much like everyone else
in the cast who experiences those sorts of things, you dealt with it
really graciously and wonderfully. Were you at all startled by that?
SAMUEL: I mean, it's kind of bizarre, isn't it? Having that kind of attention.
I'm not under the microscope in the same fashion that a lot of the
other cast members are, so I think I can slide under the radar a little
bit more, but getting any attention at all is completely new for me.
HOWARD: Well, it's been interesting to see how these young women have responded to you and your hair and your accent.
SAMUEL: My hair and my accent are sort of my main assets.
HOWARD: I've found, just from working with Australians like you and Mia and Sam
Worthington—actually Gus Van Sant, who directed the film [Restless]
I worked on with Mia, also noticed this with Nicole Kidman—that you
guys have such a sturdiness. I don't know if it's just the terrain in
Australia or the kind of training you do or the way acting is taught
over there, but there's a sturdiness that we as Americans could
definitely learn something from. There's also a sense of gratitude.
SAMUEL: Well, I think it's the training coupled with the fact that the films that get
made are so few and far between. In Australia, getting an audition can
be a rarity. There just aren't as many opportunities. So I guess the
mentality is that you kind of give your all whenever you get a chance
to work. When you put that in the American context, where you're getting a substantial number of auditions a week by comparison, I guess
your strike rate is a bit better, in a way. I mean, being in a film
like Eclipse is such a great opportunity—and there's a massive fan base with these Twilight movies that you need to respect. So I don't think I could sleep at night if I didn't give it my best shot.

Ardara focus group to address employment opportunities
One town in south Donegal well-known for controlling its own destiny and maximising its opportunities has set up a new focus group to examine all avenues in a concerted to both sustain and create employment in the town in these challenging times.
The Ardara Focus Group was established subsequent to two public meetings held in the town specifically to address the issue of unemployment in the area after the sudden closure of Gallagher's Bakery in the town.
After negotiations, the bakery re-opened under the ownership of the Gallagher family and up on 30 jobs have been saved.
All public representatives were invited to both meetings and a lively discussion took place but what was becoming increasingly obvious was the energy and enthusiasm of many of the local people attending.
Ardara boasts a proud history of getting things done principally by people who take the initiative themselves and provide employment.
For many years the Weaving Industry was the indigenous industry of the town and provided direct and indirect employment but in more recent times local entrepreneurial spirit provided much needed employment in a diverse range of small enterprises. Ann Moy, Chairperson of the Focus Group told the Donegal Democrat, "There is no public service employer based in the town unlike the majority of other towns where there is often a secondary school, hospital, council offices, fire service or some other significant permanent employer. Ardara has none of these.
"However, the entrepreneurial spirit was never lacking and many small employers have kept the community alive over the years.
"Now the challenge is a major one and so initial anger has been channelled into a proactive energy and a knowledge that we have to raise the bar higher. It is imperative that enough income is generated in the area to prevent a mass exodus of our young people."
Meetings have already taken place with Marie Aine Gardiner, Failte Ireland and Frank Kelly, Donegal Local Development Committee and the focus now is on implementing an immediate short term plan regarding tourism promotion.
There is also a medium term plan for the establishment of an accredited Weaving School which could become a feature of inward tourism as well as providing training in a dying craft to a new generation of young people who may subsequently pursue a career in design.
Adventure sports and leisure activity initiatives are also being developed.
Ann added, "Strategic planning for town development will be dependent to some degree on funding, however, this newly formed Ardara Focus Group intends to leave no stone unturned in our endeavours to generate much needed employment now and into the future.
"Ardara people have decided to channel all their energies into a proactive plan for the future of the town and its environs." she concluded
The Ardara Focus Group was set up after people put their names forward to work on this committee. The inaugural meeting took place on 12th April, 2011. An officer board was selected as follows: Anne Moy, Chairperson; Brian Forrest, Secretary; Patrick O'Donnell, Treasurer; John McConnell, PRO; Vice Chairperson, John Kelly; Asst Secretary, Hugh Campbell, Asst. Treasurer, Mabel McHugh.

First Appeared: 1915
Creator: Rube Goldberg
Please contribute to its necessary financial support.
Amazon.com or PayPal
Gilbert Seldes, in his 1923 essay "The Seven Lively Arts" (which is generally credited with putting Krazy Kat on the cultural map), didn't have many nice words for
Boob McNutt. Comparing Boob ("without a brain in his head") to smart, clever, but less popular comic strip heroes such as Foxy Grandpa and Hawkshaw the Detective, Seldes called him "the least worthy of Rube Goldberg's astonishing creations".
And yet, of all Goldberg's many contributions to our cartoon heritage (Lala Palooza, Bobo Baxter, Foolish Questions and much, much more), only the classic Rube Goldberg Device itself spanned a greater portion of his remarkable career, or had a greater impact on American popular culture, than the Boob McNutt Sunday page.
Boob was, as the name implies, a boob, back when that word's only meaning had to do with stupidity and uselessness. But he was an amiable enough fellow, always glad to help out whoever asked. And it was truly amazing how many perfect strangers were willing to trust him with vitally important tasks, such as guarding a statue worth $300,000 or transporting a glass vial containing the Elixir of Immortality. As had been the case for years with Happy Hooligan, disaster always followed in the wake of Boob's good intentions.
Goldberg launched Boob McNutt in 1915, but it wasn't immediately picked up for syndication. On June 9, 1918, The Star Company (a Hearst subsidiary and therefore a corporate sibling to the nascent King Features Syndicate) began distributing it nationwide.
Boob McNutt started as a series of oneshot gags, which usually ended with Boob being tortured to death for his innocently destructive ways; but before long, week-to-week continuity was added. In 1922, he met the love of his life, Pearl, and the focus shifted to his quest to win her hand in marriage. The task was accomplished in 1926, but they were soon divorced. They went through a few more cycles of courtship, marriage and divorce. Mike & Ike, stars of an earlier Goldberg strip, became supporting characters (they turned out to be Boob's uncles) for a time in the late 1920s, as did Bertha the Siberian Cheesehound (who had started out in 1926 as star of the page's topper).
In the late 1920s and early '30s, the topper's star was a likeable but shiftless young man named Bill, while in the main part of the page, Boob and Pearl carried on a zany, over-the-top soap opera — but the feature seemed to be running out of steam. Or maybe Goldberg was tiring of it, which amounts to the same thing. Boob blundered into a fortune in 1932, but that didn't perk things up. At the beginning of 1934, Bill took on a co-star — Prof. Lucifer Gorgonzola Butts, inventor, thus adding the famous Goldberg devices to the the page's appeal. Even so, it folded in September of that year.
Goldberg went on to do political cartoons, comic sculpture, and even a non-humorous comic called Doc Wright. He never looked back to Boob McNutt, which remains a memorable part of his comics output whether Gilbert Seldes liked it or not.

Industry Overview
School buses are the safest mode of transportation for transporting children to and from school. Over 500,000 yellow school buses transport 24 million students to and from school each day in North America, providing nearly 10 billion student trips each year. The American School Bus Council reports that students are about 50 times more likely to arrive at school safely if they take the bus than if they drive themselves or ride with friends. Keeping children safe is the priority of school transportation. When parents put their children on the bus, they're trusting that their children will return to them safe and sound. And every school day, the Yellow School Bus repays that trust over and over again. Simply put, the Yellow School Bus is the safest way to get to school. The industry continues to evolve, incorporating more types of services and products for schools, parents, and the students themselves. Starfish Transportation prides itself by utilizing the latest technology, alternative fuel-powered fleet, and creating innovative concepts that increase safety, improve performance, and save customers money.

African-American residents began to arrive en masse in 1905, with numbers fed by the Great Migration. In the 1920s and 1930s, Central and West Harlem were the focus of the "Harlem Renaissance", an outpouring of artistic work without precedent in the American black community. However, with job losses in the time of the Great Depression and the deindustrialization of New York City after World War II, rates of crime and poverty increased significantly. Harlem's black population peaked in the 1950s. In 2008, the United States Census found that for the first time since the 1930s, less than half of residents were black, and black residents only counted for 40% of the population.
Since New York City's revival in the late 20th century, Harlem has been experiencing gentrification. Despite this influx of new wealth, many residents of West, Central, and East Harlem rely on welfare, at 34.9%, 43.3%, and 46.5% of the population, respectively.
By the 1970s, many of those Harlemites who were able to escape from poverty left the neighborhood in search of safer streets, better schools and homes. Those who remained were the poorest and least skilled, with the fewest opportunities for success. Though the federal government's Model Cities Program spent $100 million on job training, health care, education, public safety, sanitation, housing, and other projects over a ten-year period, Harlem showed no improvement. The city began auctioning its enormous portfolio of Harlem properties to the public in 1985. This was intended to improve the community by placing property in the hands of people who would live in them and maintain them. In many cases, the city would even pay to completely renovate a property before selling it (by lottery) below market value.
After the 1990s, Harlem began to grow again. Between 1990 and 2006 the neighborhood's population grew by 16.9%, with the percentage of blacks decreasing from 87.6% to 69.3%, then dropping to 54.4% by 2010, and the percentage of whites increasing from 1.5% to 6.6% by 2006, and to "almost 10%" by 2010. A renovation of 125th Street and new properties along the thoroughfare also helped to revitalize Harlem.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Central and West Harlem was the focus of the "Harlem Renaissance", an outpouring of artistic work without precedent in the American black community. Though Harlem musicians and writers are particularly well remembered, the community has also hosted numerous actors and theater companies, including the New Heritage Repertory Theater, National Black Theater, Lafayette Players, Harlem Suitcase Theater, The Negro Playwrights, American Negro Theater, and the Rose McClendon Players.
The Apollo Theater opened on 125th Street on January 26, 1934, in a former burlesque house. The Savoy Ballroom, on Lenox Avenue, was a renowned venue for swing dancing, and was immortalized in a popular song of the era, "Stompin' At The Savoy". In the 1920s and 1930s, between Lenox and Seventh Avenues in central Harlem, over 125 entertainment places operated, including speakeasies, cellars, lounges, cafes, taverns, supper clubs, rib joints, theaters, dance halls, and bars and grills. 133rd Street, known as "Swing Street", became known for its cabarets, speakeasies and jazz scene during the Prohibition era, and was dubbed "Jungle Alley" because of "inter-racial mingling" on the street. Some jazz venues, including most famously the Cotton Club, where Duke Ellington played, and Connie's Inn, were restricted to whites only. Others were integrated, including the Renaissance Ballroom and the Savoy Ballroom.
In 1936, Orson Welles produced his famous black Macbeth at the Lafayette Theater in Harlem. Grand theaters from the late 19th and early 20th centuries were torn down or converted to churches. Harlem lacked any permanent performance space until the creation of the Gatehouse Theater in an old Croton aqueduct building on 135th Street in 2006. From 1965 until 2007, the community was home to the Harlem Boys Choir, a famous touring choir and education program for young boys, most of whom are black. The Girls Choir of Harlem was founded in 1989, and closed with the Boys Choir. Harlem is also home to the largest African American Day Parade which celebrates the culture of African diaspora in America. The parade was started up in the spring of 1969 with Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. as the Grand Marshal of the first celebration.
Arthur Mitchell, a former dancer with the New York City Ballet, established Dance Theatre of Harlem as a school and company of classical ballet and theater training in the late 1960s. The company has toured nationally and internationally. Generations of theater artists have gotten a start at the school. Manhattan's contributions to hip-hop stems largely from artists with Harlem roots such as Big L, Kurtis Blow and Immortal Technique. Harlem is also the birthplace of popular hip-hop dances such as the Harlem shake, toe wop, and Chicken Noodle Soup.
Harlem is currently experiencing a gourmet renaissance with new dining hotspots popping up uptown around Frederick Douglass Boulevard. At the same time, some residents are fighting back against the powerful waves of gentrification the neighborhood is experiencing. On October 17, 2013, residents staged a sidewalk sit-in to protest a five-days-a-week farmers market that would shut down Macombs Place at 150th Street.
In 1910, 10% of Harlem's population was black but by 1930, they had become a 70% majority. The period between 1910 and 1930 marks a huge point in the great migration of African Americans from the South to New York. This point also marks an influx from downtown Manhattan neighborhoods where blacks were feeling less welcome, to the Harlem area. The black population in Harlem peaked in 1950 with a 98% share of the population (population 233,000).
As of 2000, Central Harlem had a black community comprising 77% of the population; however, the majority of African Americans moved out as more and more foreigners began to move in. Central Harlem is the most famous section of Harlem and thus is commonly referred to simply as Harlem. Central Harlem is home to the famous Apollo Theater.

Regular Member Program
The Regular Program consists of three terms and runs from September to June 1 each year. The program is rigorous both physically and academically.
All new first year members take part in the orientation program at the opening of the School year in September. Additionally, free modern Greek lessons are offered, and it is strongly encouraged for first-year Regular Members to enroll.
In the Fall Term (September-November), Regular Members are required to participate in the School's four extensive trips, which offer intensive introductions to the sites, monuments and topography of Greece. These trips run from 7 to 15 days each, and they take students by bus, boat, and foot, in all weathers, to sites and museums throughout Greece. The sequence and itineraries of the trips may vary from year to year, but normally include Central Greece, Northern Greece, Western Greece, and the Peloponnesus, with special attention to Delphi, Olympia, and Corinth. Delivery of an on-site oral report is required for each trip. In addition to the fall trips, School staff will offer courses, workshops, and seminars in their areas of expertise to Regular Members and other members of the School community. The Whitehead and Wiener Laboratory seminars will run from late November through mid-March; other offerings will be scheduled throughout the academic year.
The Winter Term (November-March) is devoted to the study of sites and monuments of Athens and Attica, seminars offered by School staff, and independent research. Students are required to participate in the course on the 'Topography and Monuments of Athens and Attica.' This course meets at sites and museums in Athens two mornings a week, while a third day is given over to trips at sites in Attica, including Marathon, Rhamnous, Sounion, and Eleusis. Regular Members normally attend one of the seminars offered by the Whitehead Professors or by the Wiener Laboratory. They may elect to participate in other mini-seminars, courses, and workshops offered by School staff. The winter term also may include trips to Crete, the Saronic Gulf, Corinth and other notable places.
The Spring Term (mid-March-June 1) is for independent study, travel, and research. In the spring, two optional trips are offered. The optional trips will vary each year, but often include Ionia, central Turkey, or Southern Italy. Central to the spring term are the training sessions at the American School's excavations in Ancient Corinth during May and June. Three-week training sessions, open to all Regular Members, are intended to introduce students to the methods and techniques of archaeological fieldwork. All students (including those whose interests are primarily philological or historical) are strongly encouraged to participate.
During the Spring Term, Regular Members are expected to participate in the excavations at Corinth and in at least one spring trip. Some students may instead opt to excavate a full season at Corinth. Others may choose to use the time to conduct a significant amount of research and writing, such as a chapter of a dissertation (to be submitted to the Mellon Professor). The spring term allows students to spend a fair amount of time on independent research. Regular Members will submit an outline of their proposed activities to the Mellon Professor for the spring by March 1st.
Students pursuing the Regular Program will not have much free time to prepare for PhD examinations or to work extensively on a dissertation.
Regular Members are expected to be in residence at the School in Athens throughout the academic year. For security and emergency purposes, Regular Members must inform the Assistant Director if they plan to leave Athens for the weekend or for a longer trip. In addition, members must seek approval in advance from the Mellon Professor for absences.
For more about the application process please visit the page for Application Details for Regular Membership.

A New Year, A New Blog
Yes, believe it. This is new. You have not read this. You have no idea what words come next.
First off, even if it's fruitless, let me apologize for my blogging moratorium. When I last spoke with you, I was feeling rather down, rather… outdone with film school. The production cycle grew much more demanding in the following weeks and I simply just didn't have it in me to sit down and write. In fact, I didn't have time to do anything. All I had time to do was concentrate on getting through it. And therein lies a downfall with film school: time. Now, when you inquire to FSU about the program, you are instantly hit with a HUGE disclaimer: "You will have no life. You will not sleep. We own you. etc." Ok fine, I pretty much knew what I was getting into. What I began to realize, though, was that when I'm consumed with "assignments" and "jobs," I feel absolute ZERO on my creativity scale. I mean, zero. I was the second to last person to shoot my short this past semester. By that time, I had been a production designer, Dir of Photographer, producer, and nine other little jobs on set.. so I was completely shot on creativity for my movie. I had a few ideas, but nothing I could even get excited about. My film turned out ok. It was rather short. It looks good, I'll say. My DP, Brian, did a great job. Everyone on set did a great job for me. My movie doesn't come across that well, and that's my fault. It was just hard to convey some stuff in 2 1/2 minutes. I'm trying to figure out a way to post it on here. Keep an eye out. It'll be compressed, but that's the best I can do now. So, I do apologize to those of you who wanted to see it (Mac, Randall, Nathaniel). If it makes you feel any better, I only showed about 5 people back in Marietta over the holidays.
That being said. Let's recap some things. Most importantly, there has been a major change in my life. Her name is Jennifer. She is the most wonderful thing to have ever happened to me and I'm so happy to be able to call her my girlfriend. Literally, the week I went to Panama City (as you saw in the pictures) I worked on set on some BTL positions ("Below the line," just a refresher). It was my turn to be gaffer, which means I'm in charge of setting up all the lighting on set according to what the DP has in his cinematographic plan. We were shooting at a local video store called Video 21. (Kinda like Tallahassee's version of Vision Video for my Athens crowd). As I was setting up the giant 2,5K HMI light, I was talking to myself in some stupid voice, because I messed something up. Suddenly, I heard a snicker behind me. There, was this redheaded girl laughing at me. She suddenly got embarassed when I saw her and said, "Sorry… I thought that was funny." And walked away. From there, throughout the day, I began talking to her more and more. I know it sounds really lame to say I "met one of the actress on set." But since I was the gaffer, I had to take light meter readings allllll day long, RIGHT in front of the actresses' faces. So, I mean, I had an excuse. I found Jen funny, interesting, beautiful, and friendly all at once. I shared some of my "Munchies" with her (for those of you who don't know, it's a snack food grand slam of Doritos, Sun Chips, Pretzels, and Cheetohs). She chose to eat the cheetohs beacuse she said when she was a kid, she liked them cause they "matched her hair." Here is a picture of me right after Jen laughed at me as I set up the HMI. I emailed this to some of my friends because I always wear tons of UGA stuff on set. Notice the sweet black and red Under Armour batting gloves.
Anyway, fast forward over two months later, and we are inseperable. She is the girl I always knew had to be out there. She does and says all the right things. I'm not one to talk about private things, but I figured my blog would merit a little mention of her… plus, she'll be involved in some things I mention in the future. She has made film school so much more tolerable. It's a wonderful escape from the insanity.
Moving on. I finally got to film my movie on November 16th. I chose to shoot at the house where David Bishop shot his film during the first week of production. The Cordero family was nice enough to let all of us back into their home again. I always knew Mac and Randall would be coming down to help out on set, but as I was working with my actors on the back porch, Steve and Whitney showed up too! It was awesome for them to come down. We even got to go to the FSU/BC game. Here is a pic of us tailgating.
My shooting day started early, 7:00am. I planned my short to be relient on 3 major dolly shots, with some close-ups inbetween. Well… the first dolly shot took FOUR HOURS to set up. I'm thankful my crew was willing to work to get it right. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, but I did get a few comments on my peer evaluations about how much we were waiting around. Whoops. But in all honesty, I think it's one of the best looking shots out of all the D1's. Just my personal opinion. It was a 50′ dolly shot, so I mean, it took some practice. Mac, Randall, Steve, and Whitney were good sports. I think it was rather boring for them though.
The premise of my movie was from a script I picked about a house wife who sings a song to herself about the ingredients she's going to use to kill her husband. Originally, I was going to put it to music, but I couldn't find a band in time. During my crew drill, I used a group of extras to pose as the band and repeat some of the actresses lines as a refrain. I decided to keep this concept and use them as sort of a "Greek Chorus" of sorts, reacting to the action but not being acknowledged by the characters. Anyway, that lead to me dressing them in either white or red & black to represent some sort of conscience. I also liked the concept of making it like a 50's style sitcom. In the film I added a laughtrack and some Americana sounding music. Akil was my production designer and he ROCKED IT. Every detail fit the theme. The wardrobe, the props, everything. Here are some screenshots below.
Once production was over, editing began. We were assigned to our editors and they were assigned to us. I edited Smitha's movie about zombies and a priest who doesn't let a woman in the door. It actually turned out to be pretty good. Smitha then edited my movie and did a great job. It was nice to hang out in the post hallway and just go at your own pace. The editors had 5 days to lock the edit before the directors came in to do sound design on their films for two days. Then, on the 8th day, you tweaked color and did a final lock down. We had our premiere on Dec. 12th and it was a blast. All the D1's pretty much turned out great. I was really impressed by some of them. We had an after party at a local bar and that was NUTSO. Bobby, Stephen, and Kate made up an award called the "Noley." They basically just took WWC wrestler action figures and painted them gold. It was great. They gave out awards for different aspects of the D1's.
I guess I'll quit for now. I plan on blogging again, so I'll have many more stories. I will say this: At the end the semester, we lost three people. Two were dismissed and one left on their own. Pretty crazy. It was a turbulent semester, to say the least. There are just certain things I don't want to publish on the internet. Now we're back, and divided into two tracks again. All the writers are off in the theatre department working on plays this semester. The 2nd year's have begun picking their crew for thesis. I'm in Track 2, so I start on thesis first. Track 1 has already started class. I'm kinda waiting around to hear when the thesis movies start. I basically don't have much to do, which is a rarity. It's good though, because I came down with Bronchitis this past Friday and am now on three prescriptions. It'll give me a chance to get on my feet again.
That's all for now. My new favorite quote is, "I don't know what's worse, my life or your blog." ~Chris Ward
Y'all behave.

In such an idea, if the #moving spot is in #Kolkata, one can pick #Best #Packers and #Movers for their awesome advancement.
Diminish relocating the articles
Picking which articles are to be relocated is an essential however moving from one region to decision? It is in light of the fact that moving of undesirable articles from one zone to substitute will get to an undesirable alliance #cost when the to be sure urgent ones. Subsequently utilizing in order to irritate can be performed movers, for instance, Packers and Movers in Kolkata while squeezing can be performed before without any other person.
|Kolkata Packers And Movers
Pick the nearest halting spot
Holding a halting spot in the locale of the segment of the development quarters is crucial. It is in light of the fact that if the ceasing place and the #relocation living game plan are found several more meters away, later the development Movers and Packers Kolkata can affirmation included dealing with charges for the same. From this time forward in order to avoid pointless or unintended expenses, yet to be reservation of ceasing space past the begin of the movers vehicle is vital. In appendage, if the extra development living course of action is arranged in a multi story working despite if the lift is hard to use, other than the movement bolster provider will affirmation supplementary #charges in the keep up of flight charges for in opposition to the stock to take responsibility for of entry numbers.
Pick the best season
It would be sensible and clever if some uncommon offers, for instance, refunds as for development workplaces are legitimate to the customers. Such discounts can deal with the customer to put on a show to have numbering stock at the organized utilization of the development convey sponsorship to. Regardless, such offers can't be seen reliably all on summit of the index. Just in the midst of the months of June July a couple including and clearing of understudies from rooms and lodgings happen. It is at such period of time, #relocation firms have enough bolster their workplaces at diminished rates. From now on it would be helpful for the clients if he/she are side by side of such seasons, for making it every single one within spending arrangement.
Check charges deliberately
Purulia Packers and Movers before paying the bills remain beyond any doubt of the total the charges which the relocation encourage provider has demonstrated as for the portrayal.

You won't dependence to see all. Just for the most part all undertakings will be effectively performed by master experts.

Sometimes it feels like a day doesn't go by without the release of another app in the over-saturated to-do list category. I've used Things to organize my life since it was first introduced, and I've stuck with it through the years, even despite the developers' embarrassingly long delay for proper cloud syncing. My loyalty to Things has always been shaky, which has kept me experimenting with it's many competitors.
I recently tried out Cheddar to see if it could replace Things as my go-to organization tool on my Mac. Here's how that worked out.
Getting Started
Unlike its powerhouse competitors like OmniFocus and Things, Cheddar was born as a web and iPhone app, and has since rolled out a Mac client. Consequently, Cheddar requires that you create an account to use it.
Fortunately, you won't have to enter any information beyond your account name, an email address, and a password. Once you have your account set up, it will automatically sync all of your activity across the web-version, your Mac, and your iDevice (should you decide to go that route).
Rather than have any complex tutorial slides, you'll be presented with a few pointers about how to use Cheddar in the form of individual to-dos. They are easy to understand, but are inherently less-effective than a tutorial that allows you to view again.
The window is a minimalism-enthusiast's dream: A side column that shows your lists and the main column shows tasks. That's it. To get started, you'll want to create a new list. There is a lot of room for you to decide how you want to use Cheddar, and lists are a fundamental part of that decision. As it doesn't give you pre-defined groupings like "Today" or "Next" or "Scheduled" or even a pre-sorting inbox, Cheddar starts to resemble the built-in Mountain Lion Reminders app.
It didn't take long to run into a roadblock as I tested Cheddar, as I couldn't actually find anywhere in the window that would allow me to create a list. This "problem" actually just reveals how the interface has been designed to heavily depend on shortcuts. While this is undoubtedly a selling point for power-users, it will result in some head-scratching for beginners. Shortcuts are nice but it still would have been better to have an icon that would allow the creation of a list.
Across the top of the main window is a text-entry bar that asks "What do you have to do?" Type in your to-do and it hit the enter key. I discovered that if you don't have any lists created, nothing happens when you create an item. It seems like an odd oversight to not at least have a prompt alert you to that fact, or allow you to create one on the fly.
Once you have completed an item, checking its box will gray it out. If you want to completely clear your checked items, you have the option to "archive" them. I put "archive" in quotes because the developers seem to have some completely different definition of that word than the rest of us. I assumed it meant that those checked off items went into some sort of folder of completed tasks. When I couldn't find where they went, I consulted the website, where the developers explain that "currently, you can't see the stuff you've archived." So, their version of an archive is actually a landfill full of irretrievable stuff.
Cheddar allows you to use it in fullscreen if you want, but that immediately negates the benefits of having such a pared-down design.
Cheddar makes use of tags to help you organize tasks. These tags work much like they do on Twitter; just throw a hashtag in front a word and it becomes a clickable link. I liked the idea of using tags on an app like this, but was disappointed at the implementation.
When you click on a tag that you've created, the results are limited to the list that you are working with. So if you tagged #broccoli in your grocery list and in your list of foods you want to eat today for your diet, clicking that tag will only show broccoli-tagged items from the list you're currently looking at. Furthermore, you can't search for tags, so you'll have to find an item that actually has the tag you need. Tags are yet another instance where not having access to your archived items negatively affects usability.
You have a few formatting options when it comes to your text via simple markdown language. For instance, if you want to make some text italicized, you just enclose it in asterisks. There is also full support for emoji, if that's your thing. Cheddar for Mac syncs with the web app, which you will automatically have access to using the same login information you provided to use the app. In my experience, syncing was lightning fast, and changes were pushed very quickly to both the web and my iPhone.
You can download Cheddar for free from the Mac App Store, but the free edition limits the number of lists you can create to two. If you are just planning on using this as a simple reminder app, two lists is probably one more than you need. But if you want more flexibility in organizing your items, you may want to upgrade to the pro version. You can either pay $2 monthly or $20 for yearly access. Comparing that pricing structure to other to-do apps is challenging, as most competitors are one-time purchases rather subscription services. Obviously, having the option to try out Cheddar for free can help you decide if having multiple lists is worth the decidedly modest fee of $20 a year.
At this point, it's rare that a new productivity app introduces a feature that's completely groundbreaking. Now, all that's left for developers seems to be improving the user-experience by finding the right mix of features to appeal to specific types of people. Cheddar doesn't do anything I hadn't seen before I tried it, and I honestly am not sure what sort of user it is marketing itself for. On the one hand, it is very dependent on your use of shortcuts, as the main window has no controls outside of the checkboxes and the ability to drag items up or down in a list or to another list entirely. This makes it speedy, but many users looking for a simple to-do organizer won't bother to learn shortcuts. It has a clean interface, but the lack of even the most basic features like recurring tasks and due dates makes it perhaps too simple.
It wouldn't be fair to compare this to apps like Things or OmniFocus, as their lists of features blow Cheddar away. I think a more direct comparison would be either to Clear for Mac or OS X's Reminders app. Cheddar does offer tags and markdown, which those two don't, but that is the extent of it's advantages. Clear has great gesture-support, and Reminders is free if you own Mountain Lion. Both Clear and Reminders also sync with the cloud, with Reminders even offering web access via iCloud.com. At $7, Clear costs as much as a few months of Cheddar, and I think that makes it a far superior choice.
A simple task organizer with markdown and tag support that syncs with a web app and iOS devices.
- Cheddar 1.0.1 |
- Free for first two lists, $19.99 per year for unlimited lists |

At this years Windaba in Cape Town, the South African Wind Energy Association (SAWEA) launched a new working group. Under the name Communities for Wind, the group is aiming to provide support to the industry to enable the best possible social and economic outcomes for communities. The development of good practice when it comes to working with communities, monitoring of the impacts and the support of positive relationships is the focus of the work content for the coming months.
Relationships with local residents as well as developmental benefits to local areas around wind projects are of great importance to the renewable energy industry and have been incorporated in the economic development requirements of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Process (RE IPPPP). SAWEA is the first industry association in South Africa to institutionalise a response to this challenge. The group includes private sector, academia and civil society stakeholders.

Newt Gingrich secured $200 thousand for a successful campaign by anti-gay groups last fall to oust Iowa Supreme Court justices who voted to allow gay marriage in Iowa, the Los Angeles Times reports.
"It wouldn't have happened without Newt," said David Lane, executive director of the group that spearheaded the campaign, Iowa For Freedom.According to the Times, Gingrich, who is launched the early stages of a presidential campaign on Thursday, has been courting evangelicals for some time. Part of that courtship included playing a pivotal role in removing three Iowa judges in the last elections.
Judges in Iowa are appointed, but the general population votes whether to keep them on at the end of a term. So in 2009, after the Iowa Supreme Court voted unanimously to allow gay marriage in the state, social conservative groups like the National Organization for Marriage, the American Family Association, and the Family Research Council started a campaign to boot three of them from the bench. They were eventually successful, and now the remaining four justices are under attack from a few Republican lawmakers who have drafted legislation to impeach them.
NOM and the AFA donated money to the campaign through Iowa For Freedom, which spearheaded the effort. But David Lane, executive director of Iowa for Freedom, told Tom Hamburger and Matea Gold of the Times that "It wouldn't have happened without Newt. Newt provided strategic advice and arranged the initial seed money, about $200,000, which is what got everything started."
Lane said that Gingrich arranged the contribution, from an anonymous donor.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to The Horn Book's July/August 2014 editorial ("Don't Speak!") regarding the ALSC Policy for Service on Award Committees that was revised during the 2014 ALA Midwinter meeting.
In response to the ever-increasing number of requests regarding the appropriate use of social media from conscientious award committee members wishing to respect the code of confidentiality that has sustained the stature of these venerable awards well, the ALSC Board of Directors established a task force (TF) to examine the current policies and bring forth recommendations. The TF was intentionally designed to include a range of member and stakeholder thinking, and consisted of a representative from the publishing profession and four past or current award committee chairs; one of whom is a reviewer and blogger of national reputation, another of whom has served as consultant to the award committees for the past three years and has grappled with the queries and concerns from circumspect members and chairs. The issue of confidentiality within the changing landscape of electronic communication and social media was carefully considered. Many colleagues, including children's librarians and publishers beyond those who actually served on the TF, were surveyed and consulted.
The TF and the ALSC Board absolutely acknowledge and respect the role that social media play in the professional responsibilities of librarians. We recognize their benefits and power in accessing, assessing, and promoting books and information to our colleagues and to our clientele. We value the dynamic discussion that they facilitate amongst passionate professionals. We appreciate the possibilities for enriching our service and our lives. However, we recognize that there are pitfalls as well. As former Horn Book editor Paul Heins observed in a School Library Journal letter to the editor from May 1972, "Twentieth Century life has become overorganized and overcomplex," and that was over forty years and several eons ago.
Privacy is a price one may pay for public dissemination of information and opinion. As information professionals we have always worked to balance the public's right to know with the individual's right to privacy. ALSC award committee members value the confidentiality that guards the privacy of all committee discussion and fosters an environment of candor, honesty, and flexibility. Indeed, the preservation of this policy has kept the awards, as noted in your editorial, "admirably if boringly scandal-free." Committee members are free to speak frankly, ask questions, and change their minds without worry that their comments will be repeated or even implied beyond that meeting room. If these confidences are compromised, and the effects compounded through global dissemination by electronic means, it could have a chilling result. This courtesy also extends to authors and illustrators whose work is under consideration. Many have heard Lauren Myracle speak of her public embarrassment when Shine was mistakenly announced as being on the short list for the National Book Award. When committee conjecture or inside information is released, it travels far and fast and can never be fully retrieved, much like the old folktale of gossip and feathers in the wind. Such a situation would undermine both the process and the perception of these prestigious awards. Committees of the present and future deserve the same protections and considerations as committees of the past.
A receptive atmosphere is also cultivated when members enter into the discussions with an open mind and without taking an official, public position on any title prior to discussion. Such a stance, whether endorsement or indictment, does have an influence on the ensuing deliberations, where every title should begin on level ground. While committee members are encouraged to discuss their opinions verbally (despite the title of the editorial), when commending or condemning an eligible title in writing via blog post, tweet, email, or signed review, a member is establishing a viewpoint from which the rest of the committee must then work. Readers of blogs and recipients of email are not under a confidentiality agreement and not constrained from forwarding on a committee member's opinion, thus increasing the influence exponentially. As Miss Cary exhorts Benji in Christopher Paul Curtis's novel The Madman of Piney Woods, "The written word is different. Once you commit something to print, you are, in effect, chained to it. It is always available to be looked at again and traced back to you." That is true more than ever these days.
Despite the assertions of your editorial, librarians (and editors of review journals) who serve on award committees are still "able to promote good books" and fulfill their professional responsibilities (and pleasures) in many ways:
• Members of all committees may write and publish unsigned reviews of any book.
• Members of all committees (except the Batchelder) may write signed reviews or discuss via social media any book previously published in other countries, or by an author or illustrator who is not an American citizen or resident.
• The Batchelder committee members may write signed reviews or discuss via social media any book that has not been translated.
• Books with no illustration provide a wide field for members of the Caldecott committee.
• Books with no text are available for Newbery committee members (and seeing that all three Caldecott Honor Books qualified for that category this year, it would seem a rich field).
• The Belpré committee members are welcome to write signed reviews or discuss via social media any books by non-Latino authors and illustrators.
• Members of the Sibert committee may write signed reviews or discuss via social media all works of fiction.
• Geisel committee members may write signed reviews or discuss via social media any books beyond the scope of a beginning reader.
• The wide and wonderful world of YA literature is available to all of us who value and evaluate literature for older youth.
The editorial calls for "more fresh air" in the awards program. Luckily, there is a plethora of blogs and discussion lists offering ample opportunity to follow the thoughts and insights of well-read colleagues who are not serving on award committees and to engage in communal speculation and promotion of worthy titles — combining electronic communication and professional expertise for the best possible advantage and allowing us to participate vicariously without jeopardizing the purity of the process and dissipating the distinction of the awards, as with the editorial's example of the Children's Choice Book Award, where too many voices can crescendo into cacophony.
I confess that I am perplexed by the comment that impugns the integrity of members who contribute unsigned reviews "and remain free to revel in the attentions of publishers eager to wine and dine them." The implication is that attending a publisher's event without making a public declaration about a book is somehow unethical. I know of no member, reviewer, or editor of a review journal, whether penning an opinion or not, who would be influenced in such a manner. While some committees and individual committee members occasionally do decide to forego such invitations, that is their prerogative.
I am indebted to award committee members for their dedication to service and for requesting clarifications that have led to examination of the policy. I honor their concern and commitment to maintaining the ethical standards that underpin the eminence of these awards, and their understanding that awards of distinction (e.g., the National Book Award, The New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Books, etc.) carry a commitment to a certain level of comportment. They have our complete trust and confidence.
I am proud to be a member of this passionate profession and am grateful to all those who have added their voice to this discussion. Even when we may differ in opinion on process, I know that ultimately we all agree in principle — we want the very best for children. I invite any interested parties to peruse the official documents.
Roger Sutton responds:
I also encourage Horn Book readers to examine ALSC's award guidelines and commentary at the link Starr provides, as well as to look at my editorial and the (sometimes heated!) comments it engendered.
From the September/October 2014 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette Review, Photos and Swatches
The Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette is available here for $52.00.
Any Urban Decay Naked Palette fans out there?
I'm pretty much OBSESSED with them.
Like so obsessed I haven't had very many conversations lately that didn't somehow involve me mentioning the Naked 3 palette or it's release hahaha.
Why "normal" aka non makeup obsessed people put up with me I'll never know :).
So anyway you can imagine how excited I was when I finally got mine in the mail last week.
Isn't she beautiful?
I named her Rose *wink*.
Yes, I name my makeup is there something wrong with that?
OK don't answer that….anyway….
I know what you're thinking right now….
You're saying another naked palette?
I don't really need anymore neutrals, but wait you do 🙂
Naked three contains 12 brand new shadows – three mattes and nine shimmers – all in a beautiful rose gold case that includes a double ended shadow brush.
The 12 shadows in the palette are below….
Left to Right: Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz and Trick.
Left to Right: Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside and Blackheart.
If you already own the other Naked Palettes I think you'll still want to pick this one up as it's different enough that you "need" it.
Naked 3 is more cool toned and contains pink shadows where as 1 and 2 were more about the warm bronze shades.
I have to say I adore all my Naked Palettes, but if I was forced to choose a favorite Naked 3 would win for me hands down.
What do you think?
Will you be picking up Naked 3?
Is anyone interested in seeing comparison photos of all the Naked palettes?
Let me know.

Guidebook Target Facebook Style Functionality in Event Apps
Event Technology company Guidebook have announced this month that they are to enhance their event app by including 'Interact' – their Facebook styled engagement. What is Interact I hear you say? Well, they claim it's a combination of features which attendees can use to connect, network and of course interact with each other. Sponsors can promote their wares through it and organisers can provide updates and personalise info for each attendee.
Guidebook today announced Interact – the next major enhancement to its industry-leading mobile app platform – designed to bring Facebook-like social engagement to events of all types. Interact's unique combination of features can be used by attendees to connect and network with each other, as well as engage with event content and activities. Sponsors can elevate their presence at events and gain meaningful insights into how attendees view them. And event planners can use Interact to keep everyone on the same page, providing updates and automatically personalizing information for each attendee. Interact is available immediately on all Guidebook paid plans.
CEO of Guidebook, Jeff Lewis said of the new features that "Improving attendee engagement is one of the most important goals for event planners and delivering innovative capabilities like Interact that help them achieve their goals is one of our most important objectives. Interact allows event planners to provide better engagement and subsequently improved ROI for their events. The more value an attendee gains from an event via networking and better recommendations, the more likely they are to repeat attendance and recommend the event to others."
Once the app is downloaded attendees can check in and engage with others. They can tag people just as you would on Facebook, tag event sessions or presentations, add photos and of course they can 'like' and comment too.

Ecuador prosecutors search polling firm following election
QUITO, Ecuador – Ecuadorean prosecutors and police have searched the office of a Gallup polling affiliate whose presidential election exit poll fueled protests by projecting a six-point win for the losing opposition candidate.
An exit poll by Cedatos and two other firms showed conservative banker Guillermo Lasso winning Sunday's race. Official results wound up showing him losing by two points to ruling-party candidate Lenin Moreno.
Outgoing President Rafael Correa accused people close to Lasso's campaign of hiring Cedatos to intentionally spread false results and sow confusion. But it's not clear why the firm's offices were raided Friday.
Cedatos accurately predicted the results of the eight-way first round and said it has nothing to hide.
Lasso has cited Cedatos' exit poll in his allegations that the race was stolen.

Let's start thinking beyond the enologist
The average wine consumer today is more educated about wines and winemaking than ever before, and as a result, the role of the enologist has evolved from manager of the winemaking process to chief marketer and brand ambassador. In many ways the enologist has become the most important person in the commercial ladder as the key communications and promotions figure in the sales of medium- to high-quality wines. The enologist has become, for better or worse, the "face" of the wine he or she represents, promoting their brand and driving sales.
While enologists no doubt occupy a crucial role in the wine industry, we risk ignoring the collaborative nature of winemaking by placing a disproportionate—and perhaps even irresponsible?—amount of attention, flattery, and accountability on this one position. It's time that we all begin to think beyond the enologist.
To consider the enologist as the de facto figurehead of any winery often undermines the work of numerous other people involved in the winemaking process. Among the unknown actors who you should thank for that bottle of wine you "loved" last night, consider the viticulturists, the pruners and the waterers (in some cases), the harvesters and the winery managers, the lab analysts, the bottlers, label designers, marketing analysts, purchasers and sales people, and administrators, among others. Winemaking, as we all know, is a collaborative enterprise, and to place all of the success or failure of a vintage on one position—the enologist—is careless at best.
This is not to take away from the important work enologists do, since without them the success of a wine would be a matter of a coin toss sometimes. For example, if 90% of the quality of the wine is grape and terroir, the 10% that the enologist brings in many cases is crucial for the outcome of a great wine. So when I open a bottle of wine that surprises me with its impressive quality, I ask the inevitable question "Who made it?" as if only one person was responsible. It's no wonder, then, that many enologists today have an overblown sense of importance or even entitlement, and their growing role in the marketing and commercial aspect of the industry is as much to blame for this kind of pressure as the consumer.
Enologists by themselves do not embody or control the success of a wine; instead, we should consider them as leaders of a team, as knowledgeable resources and managers who facilitate the collaboration of wine production.
There are many talented enologists out there who fit this description, who remain humble, diligent, and focused on effectively leading their teams through the winemaking process. Most of the time, these are the people you don't hear about or see. They are not known on the international circuit, and even locally they are often known only by their coworkers and the fortunate few that have the chance to meet them. I'm thinking here of great winemakers like the Demaria brothers of Piedmont, Italy, or Juan Chavero from Mendoza, Argentina, and so many more who don't waste their energy chasing celebrity status as enologist, but instead focus their attention on working with their teams to make good wine for our enjoyment!

I usually work on two pages at a time, but I'll only do one for this explanation.
Here is the drawing table that I work at.
The laptop on the desk is used primarily for reference. I've taken almost 1000 reference pictures on my trips back to Alabama over the past year. I will probably continue to take more as I go home. It's nice having all them right in front of me as I need them.
I have a general plot/script that I've written:
I've gone through and made notes that brake the script down in to specific scenes that I later intend to break apart in to flashback sequences.
I then work on a series of thumbnails for each page, working out pacing, composition, page flow and dialog. I carry this little blue American-eagle notebook (a x-mas gift to Kristie from her family) in my back pocket so that I can work on it where ever I go. I'm using a tiny Pilot pen that my dad ordered from Japan (Hi-Tec-C 025mm). Since this whole Moonshine book will likely be more than 200 pages, I'm trying to stay as far ahead of myself in thumbnails as possible. Some artists thumbnail the entire book before they ever get to work on the actual drawings. Craig Thompson did thumbnails for Blankets for 2 years before he started drawing. I'm not doing that.
After I choose the layout that works best for the story and what I want to convey on this page I then pencil out the page onto a 14"x17" piece of Canson Smooth Bristol board. This is my favorite paper. The total panel area is 10"x15". Standard comic book size. I've tried working smaller on some of my other stories, but I always find that I usually like working bigger.
After I'm happy enough with the pencils, I then rule out the panel borders using a Speedball B-2 nib on a dip pen. I know this is a little larder, but I tend to like thicker panel borders. For my Gobnobble stories I never ruled my panel borders, but for this book I think it looks much better. I'm using an ink mixture of of Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay Black India Ink and Winsor & Newton's 951 Black Indian Ink (the one with the little spider on the bottle).
I hand-letter the page using Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph tech pens. I primarily use the .08 for dialog and balloons. Once again this is a little larger or standard lettering, but I think it works best for me. I've upgraded to the Koh-I-Noor Black Drawing Ink for these pens because the standard ink that comes with the set is too thin and watery. These pens require a great deal of care and maintenance, but I've noticed that the Savannah humidity keeps the pens from clogging. Even when I was using these pens back home in Alabama, I had a heck of a time keeping them clean. I destroyed a set of these when I was in high school. Note that I'm using all-caps lettering for this book. I used mixed case lettering for my Gobnobble stories, but it just didn't feel right for this book. I think I might switch to all-caps on my other stuff when I go back to it. If I need more control for something specific, like on larger sound effects ("UNGH."), I draw out the word with a .60 and fill it in accordingly.
Once I start putting ink to the paper I being to make notes on the sides of the page regarding errors or other problems that I'll fix after all the inking is done. I use a red color pencil for this because it won't show up when I scan the page into Photoshop.
After I finish lettering the page, I move to a brush. I've been using a Winsor & Newton Series 7 No. 3 brush for a while. It gives me the line weight that I want while still being able to give a pretty thin line when I need it. I only ink the primary characters, black areas, and other prominent elements in the panels. This is the fastest stage of the inking process.
I then come back with my Rapidograph pens to build value and texture in the images. I've been getting much of my inspiration from Gerhard's background for Dave Sim's Cerebus. This takes forever sometimes. I rarely go below 0.6mm and never below 0.35mm. The largest pen I have is 1.2mm. These are all from the same pen set (40 bucks online!)
Once the inks are through, I erase the whole page. This is where the quality of ink is important. Many inks will fade or erase away during this stage.
Finally I will clean up the whole page using Winsor & Newton Permanent White Designer Goache. I fix all of the errors I have noted on the side of the page (those notes are super handy), clean up the borders and gutters, and given each panel a once-over looking for problems.
Once the correction fluid dries and any other fixes have been made, the page gets thrown into the pile.

Well. I got my computer back {after waiting 10 days for it...yeah.}
I paid the guy $300.
The system was fully restored, luckily he was able to back up all my photos.
That's really all I cared about- getting my photos back.
He told me I should put everything on an external hard drive.
Which I was going to do.
But then 2 days later, it broke again.
Same problem.
I don't know what to do.
So now I'm out $300 and somewhere between 2000-3000 photos.
Sure, I have some of them on Flickr.
But 80% of them are on my computer and not on Flickr.
I really, really, REALLY want those photos back.
But I just got off the phone with him and it sounds like he's not too concerned that I've already spent $300 on it all.
It makes me wish that I didn't support the local guy on this one.
If it was Circuit City, at least I could go to the manager or something.
Anyway, Joe is in Dallas on a business trip so I'm at my parents, visiting.
I almost didn't get to come down because on my way to the airport to drop Joe off, I drove into a median and took down a big sign that was cemented into a ground with a 4x4.
Luckily nobody was hurt.
It was snowing, the roads were absolutely terrible, it was 4:30 a.m.
I couldn't fit the giant piece that fell off my car (the front bumper) into my car at the time, so I had to drive back and look for it later on.
Which was an adventure in itself.
Since there was nowhere for me to pull over onto the snowy country road, I had to pretty much hold up traffic while I ran out out into the field to retrieve my bumper.
I had this great idea that I'd leave the car running and just take my trunk key off the ring so it would make the process faster.
It was a great idea...until I locked myself out of the car a few hours later.
I had to go find a police man to unlock my car for me, hoping that he wouldn't see my dented front end and hood and ticket me for a) not reporting it and b) not having a license plate on the front.
Luckily he didn't see it.
Joe was so excited to escape this cold, blustery Wisconsin weather...he called me last night when he got into Dallas and told me it was snowing there.
I had to laugh, because really.....isn't that kind of funny?
Okay well I'm painting a bunch of wood today, so time for the next coat.

We went on to more complicated looms. I made this scarf (below) on an ashford knitters loom.
Lastly we used the Ashford 8 shaft loom. This was my favourite as you could do lots of patterns on it. However, I think the knitters loom is more my level as I would not have a clue how to set up the Warp! Definitely a craft I would like to continue!

VIDEO: Rocky GoPro
ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — Ever wondered what it's like to be an NBA mascot? There are some parts that probably aren't so great — being inside that hot costume and running around for three hours at a time. But you also get to do cool stuff, like rappeling down from the arena ceiling, climbing impossibly tall ladders, and of course interacting with fans. In order to let us know what it's like inside the fur, Denver Nuggets mascot Rocky got his paws on a GoPro camera for a night and came away with this video.

An injury to Nam Phan has forced the TUF season 12 competitor out of his rematch with Leonard Garcia at UFC Fight Night 24 on March 26th.
As a result the UFC have had to make a last-minute switch, and Chan Sung Jung, Aka 'The Korean Zombie' will now fight Garcia at the event.
Of course Garcia and The Korean Zombie have already met once before in an instant classic last year at WEC 48. The two went toe-to-toe for three rounds in a 'fight of the year' contender that many claimed was reminiscent of the famous Bonnar Vs Griffin fight from the TUF season 1 finale.
Jung has recently been training at Urijah Faber's camp in California but did not yet have an opponent scheduled.

Handling The Workbook Beforeclose Event
Category: General VBA | [Item URL]
The BeforeClose event occurs before a workbook is closed. This event is often used in conjunction with a Workbook_Open event handler. For example, you can use the Workbook_Open procedure to initialize things, and use the Workbook_BeforeClose procedure to "clean up" things before the workbook is closed.
If you attempt to close a workbook that hasn't been saved, Excel displays a prompt asking if you want to save the workbook before closing. A potential problem can arise because by the time the users sees this message, the BeforeClose event has already occurred -- which means that your Workbook_BeforeClose subroutine has already executed.
Consider this scenario: You need to display a custom menu when a particular workbook is open. Therefore, your workbook uses a Workbook_Open procedure to create the menu when the workbook is opened, and it uses a Workbook_BeforeClose procedure to remove the menu when the workbook is closed. These two event-handler procedures (which must be in the code module for the ThisWorkbook object) are listed below.Private Sub Workbook_Open() Call CreateMenu End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) Call DeleteMenu End Sub
But, as I noted above, Excel's "save workbook before closing" prompt occurs after the Workbook_BeforeClose event-handler runs. So if the user clicks Cancel, the workbook remains open -- but the custom menu item has already been deleted!
One solution to this problem is to by-pass Excel's prompt and write your own code in the Workbook_BeforeClose procedure to ask the user to save the workbook. The code below demonstrates. This procedure must be in the code module for the ThisWorkbook object.Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean) If Not Me.Saved Then Msg = "Do you want to save the changes you made to " Msg = Msg & Me.Name & "?" Ans = MsgBox(Msg, vbQuestion + vbYesNoCancel) Select Case Ans Case vbYes Me.Save Case vbNo Me.Saved = True Case vbCancel Cancel = True Exit Sub End Select End If Call DeleteMenu 'Change this to your own subroutine End Sub
This procedure first determines if the workbook has been saved. If so, no problem -- the DeleteMenu subroutine is executed and the workbook is closed. But if the workbook has not been saved, the procedure displays a message box that duplicates the one Excel would normally show.
If the user clicks Yes the workbook is saved, the menu is deleted, and the workbook is closed. If the user click No, the code sets the Saved property of the Workbook object to True (but doesn't actually save the file), and deletes the menu. If the user clicks Cancel, the BeforeClose event is canceled and the subroutine ends without deleting the menu.

Global Roaming Distribution announced this morning that it is currently running a major national TV and print media campaign that is anticipated to continue throughout the summer months. Initiated in May, the campaign has placed full-page informational advertisements in USA Today and more than three hundred 30-second television ads on MSNBC, CNN, FOX Business, NBC Weather Plus, CNBC World Times and Bloomberg.
According to the company, the response has been extraordinary. Calls to its Miami-based headquarters, and visitors to the CelTrek website, have increased dramatically. According to several tracking sites, the CelTrek Website has increased 2,574.5% in people counts, 52% in average stay, 27.3% in pages visited, and is receiving 1,831.1% more attention.
Florian Y. Seroussi, CEO for Global Roaming Distribution, stated, "Our goal with this campaign is to spread the word as clearly as possible to a targeted market. Our message has been clearly defined, in no uncertain terms, that you do not have to pay huge roaming fees when you travel. The viewers of these stations care about saving as much money as possible, especially in today's economic world. Finally, they have a solution to break the stranglehold of cellular roaming charges from the major carriers."
"The response has been amazing. People call to say they had no idea that they had a choice in roaming fees and are disappointed that they hadn't heard about this before they went on their trips. The savings to the typical family of four during a vacation really adds up," added Aaron Glickman, customer support manager.

Hi again friends,
With yesterday being Stress Awareness Day, I figured I'd touch on a technique that might be easily overlooked. Hand massages. Yes, it's a thing, really.
Of course, you've heard of them, maybe you have had one, but do you know the depth of study that goes into it. Can't you just grab a hand, squeeze it, and pull a few fingers? Um...no. There's more to it than that.
For information on how to give a hand massage, check out these sites.
There are benefits to hand massages. For those who suffer with arthritis a regular hand massage may help to relieve the pain. Same goes for pain caused by repetitive tasks like typing. Regular hand massages might also improve circulation, and range of motion in wrists and finger joints.
Guess what? It goes deeper. According to studies in reflexology, each of your fingers can affect a meridian that impacts the performance of specific parts of your body. This idea makes a hand massage much more than a stress relief technique.
Below, I've mapped out a rough generalization of areas of the body that are linked to each finger. Remember, I said this is just a generalization, and I have avoided any specific detail, otherwise I'd end up with a 20 page dissertation. This is a nail art blog after all, not a medical research publication.
|Generalized Reflexology Chart
Ciao for now.
