Our world might be startlingly diverse and eclectic, but there a few standard features of society that are reliably repeated over and over again everywhere, from urban jungles to tropical jungles, from icy backwaters to humid, thickly populated lowlands. Here's one of them: in most societies, women are relegated to a subordinate position. And by "most," I mean "almost all" – the ones with egalitarian relations between the sexes are few and far between, and even then, it's debatable whether women are truly treated equally. Anthropologists have yet to find any society where women are dominant.
For most of human history, this was just The Way Things Were. Men made the decisions, ran the households, ran businesses, ran the government, ran the army, ran the schools, ran the temples, ran most institutions, wrote the books, got the best (or only) education, got the highest status, made the important discoveries, and got legal preferences. Languages everywhere reflect this (heck, in English we say you "man" a ship or an airplane to control it). Women were omitted from history (except for a few important queens or concubines here and there), partially because they didn't write it, but mostly because they were relegated to the background. Both genders accepted this as the natural way of the world – men were stronger and more assertive, so they had the right to do so.
Then in Europe, beginning in the 1700s, things began to change. In what should really be counted as one of the fundamental social upheavals of all time, educated women gradually came to realize how unfair it was. I think the education part of it was most crucial: girls were taught the same subjects and went through similar schooling as their brothers, and the flowering of a scholarly, bookish culture in salons and cafes in the 1700s drew women's interest – and made more men interested in smart women as companions. But even if they understood politics, steam engines, Immanuel Kant's central theses, the core precepts of the Catholic Church, whatever, women were kept out of the arena that actually decided these things. The new political ideas coming out of the Enlightenment also fueled their aspirations: if all men were created equal and allowed a voice in society, then why not women too? Why did they just have to rely on their fathers and husbands to make the best choices?
What happened next should be a familiar story: Women took to arguing their case in public, both in lectures and in print. As men ignored and belittled them, they grew more and more forceful and kept pressing the issue for decades. Over time more and more men were attracted to their cause by realizing how hollow old notions of women as intellectual inferiors were given the rise of women as smart and capable as any man. The women's rights movement spread around the West, and ever since, old barriers to employment, power, prestige, and status fell. Attitudes also changed, slowly but surely: women were infantilized and marginalized less and treated more and more as equals.
Of course, the story isn't done. It's doubtful if it ever will be. Men are still stronger and more assertive, and are unafraid to impose their will on women. Women have had to fight for their rights and made themselves heard, pointing out to clueless men how sexist or hypocritical their thoughts and actions are and exposing continued injustices in society. The pay gap between the sexes is one glaring issue right now in the West, but there are many: barriers to women in the army; an ongoing culture of rape and victim-blaming; male domination in politics, business, and science; an entertainment culture oriented around men and male interests; domestic abuse scandals; prostitution; rampant objectification and/or trivialization of women; a lack of guaranteed maternal leave from work; a continuing expectation for women to somehow take care of the kids and household chores while working full-time; a pronounced bias for men's sports. Some of the issues raised by feminists count as petty micro-aggressions (a current effort to stop segregating toys comes to mind), but they have a point too: By uncovering lurking, sometimes unacknowledged gender biases, they force society to confront the attitudes that continue to perpetuate sexism and that eternal bogeyman, The Patriarchy.
The West is clearly the vanguard of women's rights as the birthplace of the feminist movement, but women's status varies from place to place. Scandinavia is usually considered the least sexist part of the world, with its high proportion of women in politics, college, and the skilled workforce, long maternal leaves, lots of househusbands, and strict laws on buying prostitution. There is still work to be done – it's hard for women to advance to the highest ranks of the corporate ladder, and rape and domestic abuse still flourish in the shadows – but overall, Scandinavia's feminist-friendly reputation is hard to argue with. On the other side of the coin, Italy keeps on struggling with a culture that fetishizes and humiliates women, that values them more as fashion models and sex objects than as actual people, and that condones groping and harassment in public. To an extent, this is the fault of Italy's former prime minister, the lecherous Silvio Berlusconi, who enforced his preferences for sexy TV stars nationwide, but sexism in Italy has deep roots, and women in southern Europe have historically been a few steps behind in status compared to their northern sisters.
Sexism in the West is an ongoing and fascinating topic, but it's hard to argue with where the new frontier in feminism lies – the 83% of the world that lives somewhere else. The rest of the world is a mixed bag, and although it's easy to generalize it as a chauvinistic swamp, women's status there has more subtleties and caveats than might be expected. Still, it's obvious that the notion of women's equality is still revolutionary and controversial in much of the world, and it's given feminists a rich opportunity to spread their gospel.
Latin America – as befits a region so influenced by the West – is the second-best region to be a woman. Despite a deep-rooted culture of machismo (extreme masculinity) and a Catholic heritage, Latinas have made great strides in recent decades, with more and more women showing up at the heads of companies and female presidents taking the helm in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Laws against abortion and birth control are coming down; laws against sexual harassment and domestic violence are popping up. Latinas are increasingly well-educated, and the region has seen a greater rise in women in the workforce than any other in the world. That being said, machismo still rules; sexist attitudes are still commonplace, women are expected to stay at home and take care of the kids, and the brutal gang violence that afflicts many parts of Latin America take their toll on gender relations.
East Asia is another nuanced region. The area has also seen great strides recently, with more women in politics and business, more respect for women, more space for women in the public and cultural spheres, and a rise in female literacy and legal status. Bangladesh and South Korea have female leaders, and India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand have had them before. Southeast Asian societies generally accord women a higher status than their Northeast Asian counterparts. Frequent exposure to Western pop culture helps fuel a growing clamor for more rights and respect. But a Confucian and Hindu emphasis on male privilege and power keeps women sidelined; it is much more common for women to be housewives, farmers, or merchants than powerful figures. Legal recognition of women's rights doesn't always translate to respect for them on the ground level. Population control measures in China and India take a heavy toll on female fetuses, since couples almost always would rather have a boy than a girl. A thriving sex industry in Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia is a strong pull for young women, who can usually earn more money that way than in a more fulfilling line of work.
The most sexist regions are the Muslim world and Africa (which intersect – the Sahel and the Horn of Africa, where Islam meets the black African culture that dominates the continent, are considered the worst places to be a woman). Although making sweeping generalizations here can be unfair (as it is for a region as diverse as East Asia), it's hard to argue that women are second-class citizens. Islamic dress codes keep women covered up in varying degrees – from a bare head but conservative dress to a full-on body covering (the burqa). Women are treated more or less as their fathers' or husbands' property and are relegated to the house for most of the day. Many Muslim countries segregate the genders, either formally or informally; it is rare for someone to mingle with the opposite gender unless they're related. Girls are less well-educated than boys. They are often expected to help with the housework from a young age and are sometimes married before they even go through puberty. Old practices like female genital mutilation (cutting off the clitoris) and honor killings to wipe out the shame of rape linger despite the best efforts of activists to wipe them out. In public life, women are ignored and are barely even present. Saudi Arabia and Iran are particularly notorious for their laws enforcing the most traditional, sexist interpretations of Islamic law.
It's a varied scene, but one thing's for certain – work remains to be done. The non-Western world has a long list of things to do to bring women into the mainstream of society and make sure that it's reaching its full potential. This means an array of activists, NGOs, journalists, and a few politicians have dedicated themselves to publicizing abuses against women around the world and campaigning against them. Feminists have journeyed far and wide to contact their peers in foreign lands and urge them to take a stand against the many injustices and outrages they have to deal with every day. The UN has 3 different bodies tasked with advising countries on how to promote women's rights.
Yet here we get into an issue I wrote about recently – where do we draw the line between altruistic intervention in broken, unjust societies, and Western imperialism? Feminism can have a missionary impulse to it, with assertive, powerful women inspired by their own high status and the achievement of their foremothers to venture out into foreign lands to inspire other women to follow their lead. Men obviously feel threatened by a movement that undermines their privileges. Cultures everywhere are reluctant to adopt practices strongly associated with foreign cultures – and women's liberation is still mostly a Western concept.
It's a tough question to grapple with, and one I won't get into now, but even less zealous and less activist feminists can take heart with a few facts. As mentioned above, globalization is exposing more and more women to the Western example of women active in public life and unafraid to speak their mind. The same process that eroded the patriarchy in the West could (and in some places already has) take place elsewhere. Over the generations, men start to expect intelligent, well-educated wives; women grow bolder and more assertive. (Many of them already are active in their households and communities and dominate them from the background.) And countries that give more power and economic opportunity to women thrive – which should be obvious, since more women in the workforce means more people working and therefore more income. Banks that lend money to women tend to see more productive investment than when they lend to men. Women, with their (usual!) emphasis on consensus, harmony, and compromise, are more effective peacemakers than men, who often try to maneuver for the best possible position to resume their war or plunder. The experience of countries like Rwanda or Turkey, which have granted women greater latitude in public life than their neighbors, will undoubtedly have a ripple effect (if a gradual one).
Most of all, though, women make up half of the world. For too long, it has shunted them into the corners, consigning them to bit parts in stories, fond childhood memories, and sexual fantasies. Imagine how much more the whole world would gain if women were truly liberated, and allowed to pursue their dreams and fulfill their latent potential without the threat of marginalization or harassment.

Live in the moment, they say. Who is they, anyway, I have been wondering so I went in search of the they that are trying to help us all exist with less stress and more Zen. (http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200810/the-art-now-six-steps-living-in-the-moment) And that is how I discovered Jon Kabat-Zinn.
Now how can I trust a man who added the name Zinn to his own name Kabat, I thought. So I searched some more. Because if this is just a hook to trick me into believing I should buy yet another self-help book like that book that should have been called Hey Sucker Who Wants a Shortcut To Getting Skinny Without Diet or Exercise, I am not buying it. I did buy HSWWASTGSWDOE because if someone can do that I'll sure pay the price of a hardback…plus shipping! But HSWWASTGSWDOE didn't do a thing to make me thin, probably the opposite because I followed its advice and didn't weigh for a while…a really, really bad idea.
But back to Zen Kabat-Zinn. He has written many books and been on many TV shows and has a Ph. D and is the real thing. He's a professor at the University of Massachusetts and the founder of their Stress Management Clinic. Here is a really interesting radio interview he did on public radio (http://www.onbeing.org/program/opening-our-lives/138). I listened to the entire 51 minutes and I really enjoyed what he said. But he never said how come he added Zinn to his name. Being the suspicious, distrusting woman I am, I continued to look for evidence. I tried staying in the moment like he recommended on the radio, but my mind kept going back to his name. It was very distracting.
I learned he was born Jewish but was raised scientist/artist. I learned his upbringing forced him to try to find the commonalities between his father's beliefs (the scientist) and his mother's (the artist). That is what brought him to Zen back in his days as a student at MIT (http://newsoffice.mit.edu/2012/kabat-zinn-addresses-mit-medical-clinicians). So the Buddhists were the ones who really set him on his quest for mindfulness.
Now those Buddhist monks weren't out to trick me into buying a self-help book and I really have been thinking about how to enjoy my retirement to the fullest and so I read and listened and learned. I learned to be still (theoretically, anyway) and pay attention to my senses, all of which are pretty good, except for my sense of smell. My nose has long been a source of worry for me because it mostly just holds up my glasses, but on occasion it has stepped up to the plate and smelled things like freshly cut oranges or cinnamon. (You see a problem and the need I had for HSWWASTGSWDOE, right?) I also learned to feel my emotions, good or bad, for that is a moment of acceptance. And I learned to breathe –to be aware of how that act alone loosens knots in my shoulders and tension in my stomach.
I was on the way, thanks to the monks and Kabat-Zinn to a more present, mindful retirement. But still his name nagged at me. Finally I found it hidden halfway down an article about his books, hidden in a parenthesis as though it was an afterthought, hidden as though no one but doubtful Marie had ever wondered or suspected or questioned his sincerity. There is was: (www.publishersweekly.com/pw/print/20041206/27421-mindful-writing.html?subject=http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/print/20041206/27421-mindful-writing.html ) the reason he added Zinn to Kabat. He married a Zinn. That was her last name. He married Myla Zinn and this enlightened man, a man of the modern era, took his wife's last name, too. It wasn't a ploy. It wasn't a trick. It was an act of love and commitment.
Now that's a man I can trust!
And why all this interests so late in life (67 and counting) in living in the moment, you ask?
Well, at 67 it is what I remember best.

Getting ready for your next presentation? This article is designed to provide you with presentation planning tips that will help you make a great impression on co-workers, supervisors or prospective clients. Specifics may vary from person to person; however, the following information includes helpful and important guidelines from which everyone can benefit. Typically, most people think of a presentation as being delivered orally in front of a group. Yet, a presentation may also come in the form of a printed document that could be put into a report cover, a portfolio or a ring binder. What's more, today's presentations often take full advantage of digital capabilities, utilizing streaming video and other web-based applications to present ideas from one computer screen to another. No matter what form a presentation takes, the best ones are always well written. Whether it's a year-end review delivered in a huge room full of corporate executives, a departmental slide show, or a printed quarterly report filled with sales analyses... thoughts must be properly organized and the right words must be used to present key points clearly and convincingly. Here are five presentation writing strategies that can make your presentations powerful and impactful: Open with something interesting. You want to grab your audience right away, hopefully with something they can immediately relate to. One proven technique is to open your presentation with a famous quote that in some way is relevant to your topic. Another is to start with a short and possibly humorous anecdote, perhaps from personal experience. Yet another is to state some s
tartling wow facts or did you know questions that will seize the audience's attention and get them thinking. Use bullets wherever possible. If your presentation is oral, chances are you will be using slides to complement what you are saying. Do not put long, wordy paragraphs in your slide copy. Instead, use bulleted points that act as quick-read reference lists. The same holds true for presentations that are printed, or online, or in just about any other form. Avoid long, cumbersome paragraphs that may intimidate readers and cause them to miss the important points you want to convey. Stay away from jargon. It can be highly tempting to talk shop by using words and phrases that may seem very common to you but might not be familiar to your audience. What's more, the use of jargon or slang may undermine the credibility and/or seriousness of your presentations message. Refer to your theme often. Every good presentation has an overall theme...perhaps its to communicate the marketing opportunities for a new product, or, to introduce a new division in your company. Wherever possible in your writing, remind your audience what the main purpose of the presentation is by threading several mentions of the theme throughout the entire presentation. Leave your audience with a call to action. Studies have shown that the conclusion of a presentation, more than any other part, is what is remembered most often by an audience. Utilize the end of your presentation to its strongest advantage by stating what you want your audience to do next, i.e., stock up on this new product today and see for yourself how it can improve your sales and profits.

Posts for tag: oral hygiene
Keeping up your dental hygiene with daily brushing and flossing is essential to preventing disease and maintaining good oral health. But that doesn't mean it's all on your shoulders — the fact is, you have a strong partner in your dental hygienist. This valuable member of our staff provides a number of different functions that add a boost to your hygiene habits.
Perhaps the most important of those functions is semi-annual teeth cleanings. While daily brushing and flossing removes most of the bacterial plaque that causes dental disease and decay, harder deposits (tartar) will still form over time, especially in places your brush or floss can't reach. To remove it requires advanced skills and specially designed hand instruments or ultrasonic equipment. In the case of advancing gum disease, your hygienist may also assist with a procedure known as root planing to reach plaque and tartar adhering to tooth root surfaces below the gum line.
Dental hygienists are also on the lookout for abnormalities that may be a sign of disease. During teeth-cleaning sessions, your hygienist looks for gum inflammation or bleeding that may indicate the presence of periodontal gum disease, a progressive condition that, left untreated, could lead to tooth loss. We will be able to assess the extent of the disease by gently probing and measuring any detachment of the gum tissue that has formed voids known as pockets. They also look for signs of oral cancer — bumps, sores or areas of swelling or tenderness.
There's one other function your hygienist provides to enhance your oral health — educating and training you on dental care. They can provide you helpful information on risk factors for tooth decay or other dental diseases, along with helpful ways to reduce that risk. They can also help you improve your brushing and flossing techniques by demonstrating proper form.
Cleaning, monitoring and educating — these different "hats" your hygienist wears form a beneficial part of your overall dental care. Working together, you'll be able to keep your teeth and gums in good form and function.
If you would like more information on the benefits of a dental hygienist, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Dental Hygiene Visit."
When Olympic figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi wanted to help her kids develop good oral health habits, the gold-medal-winner made good use of a family connection: Her father Jim Yamaguchi is a practicing dentist in the San Francisco Bay area who treats her entire brood. As she said in a recent interview, when she suspects the kids may be spending a little less effort on oral hygiene than they should, she playfully admonishes them: "You've got to brush your teeth better than that. Papa-san is going to know!"
Not all kids are lucky enough to have a grandpa who's a dentist — but every child can learn how to help take care of his or her oral health with age-appropriate techniques, plus plenty of parental guidance and encouragement. What's the best way to help your kids develop good oral hygiene routines? We're glad you asked!
Through babyhood and the toddler years, parents have the main responsibility for keeping kids' teeth clean. But as they begin to put away pacifiers and cease sucking thumbs — around ages 2 to 4 — children can also begin to help with their own oral hygiene routine. By then, kids will probably be used to the feel of gentle brushing, and may be eager to try it themselves.
A soft-bristled brush with a pea-sized dab of toothpaste is all they need to get started… along with a good dose of parental patience. Show them how to wiggle the brush back and forth from the gum line, and all around the upper and lower teeth, both in front and in back. At first, they will probably need plenty of help. But after the age of 6 or so, as their manual dexterity increases, so will their ability to get the job done.
You'll still have to check their work periodically — but you can also teach them how to do it on their own: Have your child run his or her tongue over the tooth surfaces. If they feel smooth and silky, they're probably clean too. If not… try, try again. This test is a good guideline to brushing effectiveness — but if you want to know for sure, use a temporary dye called a disclosing tablet (available at many drugstores) to reveal unseen buildups of plaque bacteria.
What else can you do to give your children the best chance at keeping a healthy mouth and sparkly teeth? Set a positive example! Make sure you (and your kids) eat a healthy diet, get moderate exercise, limit between-meal treats — and visit the dentist regularly. The encouragement you'll get after having a good dental checkup will make you feel like a gold medalist — even if the praise isn't coming from grandpa.
If you would like more information on how to help your child develop good oral health habits, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Dentistry & Oral Health For Children" and "How to Help Your Child Develop the Best Habits for Oral Health."
One of the great benefits that patients with implants enjoy is their imperviousness to decay: unlike a natural tooth, bacteria have no effect on the materials in an implant's construction. That doesn't mean, however, you can become lax in your hygiene habits — although the implants may not be susceptible to disease, the surrounding gum tissue and bone are. If those tissues become infected you could start to lose the implant attachment and, as it progresses, the implant itself.
In fact, the gum tissue that surrounds the implant may be more susceptible to infection than those around natural teeth. Teeth maintain a connection with the jawbone through the periodontal ligament. Besides securing the tooth, the gum tissue has fibrous attachments to the tooth to help the gum tissue endure a lot of wear and tear and resist the invasion of bacteria and food particles. Implants are anchored directly into the jawbone (where bone eventually grows and attaches to the titanium implant surface) and don't develop an attachment with the ligament. Implants, therefore, don't have the benefit of resistance to bacteria and food particles that natural teeth receive through these fibrous attachments.
As a result, patients with implants need to establish a conscientious habit of effective oral hygiene. Daily removal of bacterial plaque from teeth surfaces through brushing and flossing (and semi-annual office cleanings and checkups) greatly reduce the risk of infection and subsequent inflammation. It's also important to monitor the condition of your gums, especially around implants. If you begin to notice bleeding, red or swollen gums, or other signs of possible gum disease, you should contact us as soon as possible for an assessment.
Proper care for implants and their supporting tissues is just as necessary, and perhaps more so, than it is for natural teeth. By providing that care, you'll help ensure years of effective service from your implants.
If you would like more information on hygiene practices with implants, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Infections Around Implants."
Kids do lots of changing in the teen years, as bodies and minds begin the process of becoming more "grown up." By now, parental reminders to brush teeth and go easy on sugary snacks might be met with rolled eyes and a groan. But there are still several ways that parents can help their teens to maintain good oral health.
1) Make sure kids get — and wear — a professionally made, custom-fitted mouthguard when playing sports.
The American Dental Association says athletes are 60 times more likely to suffer dental injury if they don't wear a mouthguard. These devices also protect the jaw, lips, cheeks, and tongue — not just the teeth. A mouthguard that's custom-made from a model of your child's teeth costs a little more, but offers greater protection than an off-the-shelf model.
2) Talk to your teens about the dangers of oral piercings.
Like tattoos and iPods, piercings are probably a sign of the times. But that doesn't make them harmless. Installing tongue and lip bolts creates a risk for the teeth and soft tissues that are nearby. Tooth chipping, sensitivity and pain, along with gum recession and infection, are some of the issues that may accompany an oral piercing. Remind teens that future dental problems may be a high price to pay for a fleeting fashion statement.
3) Get professional help if you — or your teen — develop an addiction to tobacco, alcohol or drugs, or an eating disorder.
Nobody wants to admit they aren't in control. But peer pressure, body image concerns and a host of other issues may lead teens into dangerous behaviors. The negative effect of various addictions on one's general health is well-documented; with respect to oral health, there are particular concerns. Tobacco not only stains the teeth, but causes changes in the mouth that can lead to oral cancer. Erosion of the tooth enamel is both a diagnostic signal of a potential eating disorder, and a problem that needs treatment. Don't hesitate to ask questions, particularly when an examination reveals a potential problem, and be sure to seek professional help when needed.

While she was pregnant with her son Camden Jack Cutler, 25-year-old Kristin Cavallari noticed an odd occurrence in her bathroom sink: "Every time I floss, my sink looks like I murdered somebody!" the actress and reality-TV personality exclaimed. Should we be concerned that something wicked is going on with the star of Laguna Beach and The Hills?
Before you call in the authorities, ask a periodontist: He or she will tell you that there's actually no mystery here. What Cavallari noticed is, in fact, a fairly common symptom of "pregnancy gingivitis," a condition that affects many expectant moms in the second to eighth month of pregnancy. But why does it occur at this time?
First — just the facts: You may already know that gingivitis is the medical name for an early stage of gum disease. Its symptoms may include bad breath, bleeding gums, and soreness, redness, or tenderness of the gum tissue. Fundamentally, gum disease is caused by the buildup of harmful bacteria, or plaque, on the teeth at the gum line — but it's important to remember that, while hundreds of types of bacteria live in the mouth, only a few are harmful. A change in the environment inside the mouth — like inadequate oral hygiene, to use one example — can cause the harmful types to flourish.
But in this case, the culprit isn't necessarily poor hygiene — instead, blame it on the natural hormonal changes that take place in expectant moms. As levels of some female hormones (estrogen and/or progesterone) rise during pregnancy, changes occur in the blood vessels in the gums, which cause them to be more susceptible to the effects of bacterial toxins. The bacteria produce toxic chemicals, which in turn bring on the symptoms of gingivitis — including painful and inflamed gums that may bleed heavily when flossed.
Is pregnancy gingivits a cause for concern? Perhaps — but the condition is generally quite treatable. If you've noticed symptoms like Kristen's, the first thing you should do it consult our office. We can advise you on a variety of treatments designed to relieve the inflammation in your gums and prevent the harmful bacteria from proliferating. Of course, your oral health (and your overall health) are prime concerns during pregnancy — so don't hesitate to seek medical help if it's needed!
How did things work out with Kristen? She maintained an effective oral hygiene routine, delivered a healthy baby — and recently appeared on the cover of Dear Doctor magazine, as the winner of the "Best Celebrity Smile" contest for 2012. And looking at her smile, it's no mystery why she won.

The Joseph Meyerhoff Senior Center/Southeast Focal Point in Hollywood is holding a 35th anniversary brunch from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 15 at the center, which is located at 3081 Taft St.
The brunch celebrates the center's 35 years of caring for seniors in the community. The theme is "Remembering the Past, Celebrating the Present and Planning for the Future." Dr. Herb and Nancy Brizel, and Lou Brickman, will be honored for their longtime contributions to the center and community.
The brunch comes at a critical time for the center, which faces a shortfall of over $100,000 in 2014 due to cuts in federal funding.
Said Beth Allen, the center's executive director: "We wish you could see the happiness on the faces of the many frail elderly we've served on a daily basis over these past decades. If we don't make up this shortfall, many local seniors will lose their one hot meal a day. They will be left isolated in their homes — without purpose, connection and camaraderie. Many will live their days in frightened solitude, without a friendly face — or even any means to seek out one."
Added Elliot Zahler, a center staffer: "We are looking for a 'home run' through this event to establish a stronger financial footing for 2014, as well as attracting new potential senior clients. The center is actively seeking further funding from individuals, corporations and foundations to enhance programs and meet the needs of our growing senior population. Since most of our services are free, contributions for services are encouraged."

We're not "in this together," Hyundai. Americans are "in it" in large part because of you, Korea in general and because of all overpopulated nations like yours whose economies are so stunted by over-crowding that they're incapable of consuming their own productive capacity. So you resort to feeding on the American market and American jobs, like tapeworms in the belly of America's economy. You sell us 100 cars for every one that you import from us, and then act like you're doing us a favor with your voluntary repossession program when we lose our jobs to your predatory trade practices.
I don't often resort to such inflammatory rhetoric, Hyundai, but you drove me to it with your disingenuous "all in this together" thing, as though you're one of us and bear no responsibility for America's economic decline. So go home, Hyundai. We can build our own cars, thank you. And take your Kia and LG friends with you.

Peter is an awesome person in Scripture. I think part of my attraction to this hero of the faith is his "reality." He's so much like us. One minute he's bold and brash, proclaiming truth for the world to hear, the next he crumbles and struggles just like the rest of us.
Jesus asked "Who do you say that I am?" Peter (AKA Simon) said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." Jesus blessed him and changed His name to Peter, which means rock. Jesus then went on to say on this "rock" I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
A few minutes later, Jesus is instructing His disciples on His impending death and Peter comes to the rescue. I won't let this happen, I will protect you. In that moment Jesus calls him Satan. What happened to the Rock? Oh, Peter is still the rock, but right now, he's off track and Jesus needs to set him straight. You see Peter wants to save Jesus, but it's Jesus' death will save Peter (and all the rest of us as well). Getting in the way of that plan would be the work of Satan, not God.
Another time, when Jesus is speaking of His death, Peter vows to stand with Jesus even if he has to die and Jesus informs him that before long he will deny three times that he even knows Jesus. Of course, Peter tries to rebut that, but to no avail because a short time later that is exactly what happens. Peter denied Jesus three times just as Jesus said. What happened to the Rock?
Peter is still the Rock…
Later after Jesus died and was resurrected, He met with Peter again. Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved Him. You can hear the pain in Peter's voice as he replies yes, over and over. It almost seems like Jesus is being cruel to the one who denied him. In actuality, Jesus was healing a restoring Peter, three denials cancelled out by three affirmations, and after each affirmation, the same command, some variation of feed my sheep.
It's clear what Jesus is doing. Peter is reinstated. He is still the Rock. He (and HIs proclamation of Jesus' Lordship) is still the foundation of the Church men like Peter would begin. The road will be a hard one, ending in death for Peter, but God's Kingdom will be advanced, the church of Jesus Christ will be built and Peter (like us) will receive his eternal reward.
In Acts 2, that church truly is born, and who steps to the forefront? Peter! It's Peter who declares truth. It's Peter who preaches the Word. It's Peter who brings the message, a hard message that includes the fact that the people killed their own Messiah. Yet that message draws thousands to repentance. So you know what that message is?
It's Peter feeding Jesus' sheep.
None of us have achieved perfection and we won't on this side of the grave. We will mess up. We will make mistakes. We may even sin. None of those things change who we are in Christ. Peter was still the Rock, even when he failed. When you fail, repent and return to your path. Don't give up.
Feed His sheep as we build on the Rock.

Assalamu 'alaikum,
If a non-Muslim asks you what the Qur'an says about non-Muslims, or asks if non-Muslims are going to Hell, what do you say?
Why, you tell them that we don't know about individual people but that the Qur'an indeed does say that non-Muslims are going to Hell. (Roll eyes here.)
1. Non-Muslims are going to Hell
Whenever I've come across this attitude, I've always put forth the opinion of Imam Al-Ghazali that I heard from Sheikh Hamza that this verse refers to three groups of non-Muslims, one of which is in the Hellfire and two of which have an excuse with their Lord. The first group is those who know about Islam in its true form, interact with upright Muslims and live in or near Muslim lands and who, despite knowing the Truth of Islam, reject it anyway–these are the ones he believes will go to the Hellfire. The other two groups are those who have never heard of Islam, or who have only heard of an Islam that is full of evil.
Another convert put forward an opinion of Jamal Badawi that the "Islam" referred to in this verse was meant as "submission to the Will of God" and that those who are submitting to the Will of God to the best of their understanding are included.
Those who disagree tend to think we converts are seeking out opinions that make us feel better about those in our families who may not be Muslim. How not true is this! I actually feel guilty much of the time, that now my family has had a chance to learn about Islam, see it in action, see the good changes it's made in me (alhamdullillah) and have now moved from category 2/3 to category 1, those with no excuse.
Someone once said that because the verse is clear, there is no need for interpretation or tafsir, period. Why do they discount scholars, first of all? Is it because a convert is saying it? Would someone dare argue with Imam Al-Ghazali were he alive today? Why try to argue with someone who says, "This scholar, so-and-so, said this." You're not saying "I think this." You're saying, someone with a heck of a lot more training and knowledge than I have said this." Then you are told that you are wrong and he is wrong. Scholars are human, after all, and make mistakes. Does the person saying that have more knowledge than a scholar, someone who has devoted their entire life to learning the Deen? Some seem to think so.
Another argument is that the whole world has heard about Islam, so there is no excuse left. Look, I am a firm believer in the fitrah. Where I came from, there were no Muslims, no black people, no Hispanic or Latino people, no Asians, no Jews, Buddhists, Hindus or anything other than white Christians. If you wanted to learn about God, you went to a church and maybe checked out a different denomination, which could be big news. There was no Internet. There were no books in the library about Islam. We didn't even have cable in my house and still cannot get touch-tone service on the phone. The only things I heard in association with Muslims were the typical stereotypical things you hear on the news.
Despite all that, I was able to find Islam, Alhamdullillah! But not in that town. I had to move to a city 3 hours' drive away to finally meet Muslims and find out what Islam was all about. I was lucky. I had a niyyah to learn about God and the True Religion, and it was a huge Grace from Allah that He lead me to Islam. That is why I firmly believe in the fitrah. But I knew many God-fearing, good people in my life. Am I prepared to say they're going to Hell because of the situation Allah put them in? I daresay I cannot do that. It's not just because I don't want to see them go to the Hellfire. Of course I wouldn't wish that on anyone! But Allah is Most Fair, and He knows peoples' niyyah. If they reject Him, then they deserve Hellfire! But that is for Him to decide. And it's not for me as a non-scholar to give fatwahs and start making up my own tafsir.
We have to ask ourselves, is it good Da'wah to tell non-Muslims our Book says they're going to Hell? I mean, you don't have to lie (and shouldn't), but why not deal with them gently, as the Qur'an also says? Why not say what Imam Al-Ghazali says? Oh, and please don't answer this type of question with a similar question: "Well, don't Christians believe that anyone who doesn't accept Jesus (alayhi assalam) as their personal Lord and Savior (audubillah) are going to Hell?" Not effective.
2. Apostates Should Be Killed
Muslims take one step forward, and then someone from amongst our ranks knocks us back at least two.
A lady wrote a letter to the editor of our local paper insisting that apostates must be killed in Islam. I guess that generated a lot of attention, and it came out that she's an active sister in the community and she teaches Sunday school. Now the masjid has started receiving threatening emails and phone calls.
Is this the best way to call people to Islam?
I realize that some scholars have indicated this to be the correct understanding. But let's look at history. Was this the example of the Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wassalam) and the Sahaba (radiallahu anhum)? Or was theirs one of gentleness, of understanding, and of trying to bring them back into the fold of Islam? Has this been a huge problem in the history of Islam? Or is this more of an obscure ruling with conditions and hikmah for certain situations? Is focusing attention on it a means to assert our control, to give ourselves a sense of dominance in this world of ever-increasing demonization and marginalization?
We must always remember, as Muslims living in a majority non-Muslim society, that we are the ambassadors of Allah, of our Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu 'alayhi wassalam) and of our Deen. People are watching us and listening to us, and drawing conclusions about Islam based primarily on how they view us and what they see us doing. Everything we do, say and write should be an accurate representation of Islam and an invitation. That means we have to behave in such a way as to make our Deen appealing to those who are not Muslim. Why think of non-Muslims as kuffar, when you can think of them as potential Muslims? Will that change the way you talk to them, interact with them? Why would you treat kuffar badly anyway? We hate kufr, not people who engage in it. It may be that you change someone's heart insha'Allah. Are you going to do it by telling people that they're gonna go to Hell and if they do decide to become Muslim they can get killed if they ever leave? Does that sound like a ride YOU'D want to take?
There's a fine line between speaking the truth (or some version of it) and being too honest. If someone hasn't had proper training in da'wah, I'd say the have no business even discussing these things. (PROPER being the key word here, which I'd say is sadly lacking in most circumstances.)

This whole article was good, even this objection, though I strongly disagree with it:
Still, despite its clean lines and long history, Platonism [about numbers and universals- ed.] cannot be right either. Since the time of Plato himself, nominalists have been urging very convincing objections. Here's one: if abstracta float somewhere outside our own universe of space and time, it's hard to imagine how can we see them or have any other perceptual contact with them. So how do we know they're there?
-Plato himself gives a clear answer to this in the Phaedo, sc. because we saw them before we had bodies. This might, however, be taken as proving the point – if our epistemology calls for pre-existence, it will certainly have a hard time convincing almost everybody nowadays.
-That said, Plato proves the pre-existence of soul from our intuition of abstract objects. The intuition itself is manifested from other sources. As odd as it seems to talk about "manifesting an intuition" (since intuitions must be, if anything, seen in themselves) it nevertheless has a clear sense in Plato. The sensible world is a cause of remembrance, but it is still a necessary cause. Plato's theory of knowledge requires that knowledge begin with sensation, but this sensation is a principle of recalling, not of abstracting.
-In a word: Plato denies that we now know universals and ideas by direct intuition of another world. We now depend on sensation, and know by sensation first. Plato does not have a theory of intuition of universals, but of recollecting them.
-So if Plato, just like the Nominalists, agree that the sensible world is the given starting point, how do we decide between abstraction and recollection? Plato's answer in Phaedo seems to be that abstraction requires that the thing we abstract the form from be like the form abstracted, but we do not always form ideas from things that are like the idea. We sometimes get a very clear idea of justice by witnessing at a flagrant injustice, a clear idea of the infinite from the finite, or of eternal things from contingent things. For that matter, we get an idea of the abstract from the concrete.
-Again, abstraction is, at the same time, an end result of a group of particulars and the governing concept that causes them to be grouped together in the first place. So is the universal initially just formed by chance? Is it implicit in sense knowledge alone? Even if the latter is true (and even animals have some rudimentary universals from sense alone) is it always so implicit?
-Plato's argument, considered formally, does not require the pre-existence of the soul but any transempirical intuition (though this intuition, as we now exist, is knowable only by recollection). It is extraordinarily hard to avoid these all such intuitions. At the bare minimum, it's hard to avoid them with respect our knowledge of our own selves, and if of ourselves, we have some knowledge of all that belongs essentially to the self- being, goodness, freedom, contingency, etc.
-Even if we pre-existed, this pre-existence does not account for transempirical intuition. The sense is that, without a body, mind would know in the way proper to it, as opposed to having to recollect.
-"Recollection" for Plato is just when, seeing one thing (whether alike or similar to another) we are caused to know that other. The parenthetical makes the difference between recollection and abstraction.
-I try to correct my students when they speak of "abstractions". This is a theoretical account of the genesis of ideas or universals.

On September 15 Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov received a delegation of the assembly of the Union of Western Europe, visiting our country, reported the press service for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
Informing the visitors about the priorities of Azerbaijan's external policy and directions of cooperation in the international arena, the Minister said that Azerbaijan takes steps to build a democratic, civilian society, economic welfare and a strong state.
Mamedyarov noted that Nagorno Karabakh conflict is a primary task for the Foreign Ministry, which should be settled, and this conflict poses a threat to stability in the region and impedes its development.
The visitors put some questions to Mamedyarov, mostly regarding Azerbaijan's relations in neighbor countries and cooperation in the framework of the international organizations.

[artist id="1190"]Raekwon[/artist] the Chef is keeping his raps right in the kitchen. The outspoken Wu-Tang Clan member has teased us for years, telling us about his almost mythical Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II LP. Over the weekend, Rae had two more records leak from the album, and the myth is starting to feel like reality.
"10 Bricks" hits so hard out of your speakers that it could chip your tooth, and Rae pours a fresh flow all over the Dr. Dre beat on "Catalina." Rae hasn't had a breakout radio hit, but his Wu bangers might just be enough to sneak him on our 2009 Hottest MCs in the Game list. (To see what it takes to make the list, check out our Hottest MCs criteria.)
If the MTV News Hip-Hop Brain Trust factors in the quality of music first when coming up with the list, Rae has to be in the convo. He's delivering. It will be interesting to see the argument for or against the Chef if it comes down to him and a more commercially viable artist. (Don't forget his mixtapes, such as Blood on the Chef's Apron.)
Rae said he's cool with his underground status and isn't focused on mainstream kudos.
"This one ain't like that," he promised of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II. "This one is underground all the way. [I'm] going for the underground award right now. It's going back to favoring nothing positive. This whole vibe is negative. And it's a story line. You gonna see many different stories of crazy stuff happening. It's a movie. The only jewels you may get is Pap Wu. Because how we started the second [album], how we ended the first one — it's gonna be a memory-lane lesson where you gonna really take time to listen and grab you whatever you need. Grab you a refreshment or get the right headphones. I'm recommending everybody to go out there and have the right system ready for this. If you want it the way you want it, you gotta really study it. Sometimes people don't get it the first shot. They gotta sit and really vibe with it. Like I said, this is a straight concept album."
Everyone wants to hear Rae's LP — especially his peers. He's having a huge album-release party September 8 at Santos Playhouse in New York. Tickets are only being sold in advance. Diddy has signed on to host the event, and the LOX, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Jim Jones, Talib Kweli, the Roots and members of the Wu-Tang Clan are slated to perform.
"September 8, we gonna tear n---as' heads off," Rae told us.
Who do you think is the Hottest MC in the Game? Don't forget to vote from now through September 21 to have your voice heard.

Here's a bit of cool trivia for you. The Top Gear introduction music that we know and love is a song called Jessica by The Allman Brothers Band. If you've been watching TopGear for years, or even just here and there, you know it's fantastic, and it works well. But what if it was different?
This was a potential replacement when the show had moved to its new and current studio while improving things a bit. Thankfully, Jezza killed it off before it ever had a chance.

Friday night is a bit hectic as the Wrigglebottom swims at 6pm and I generally don't get home to 5:20. By the time we're home from swimming it's after 7 so whatever I cook needs to be quick. If the Outlaw Granny has give her her dinner I can be a bit adventurous but she's currently suffering with her back. I had planned to do Ginger & Chilli Salmon by Levi Root on his app but the internet was down again and I couldn't find it on my iPhone so I made it up instead!
Heat the oven to 200C
1) Chop 2 spring onions. Place in a baking dish just big enough to squeeze the salmon that you're cooking in;
2) Add about 2cm root ginger. I keep mine in the freezer so that it doesn't get all wizened and then grate it finely. It stays fresh goes a lot further, doesn't need to be peeled and doesn't give anyone a nasty shock because there are no big lumps.
3) Add the rind and juice of 1 lime. Roll the lime on a hard surface before you grate it and it will be a lot easier to squeeze.
4) Add a tablespoon of dark soy and about 50ml of shaoshing rice wine or sake if you have it.
5) Put the salmon fillets in skin side down;
6) Cover with foil or baking paper and put in the oven for 10-15 mins depending on the number of salmon steaks. You want the salmon to be just cooked.
Serve with plain boiled rice and steamed veg. That's got to be the healthiest thing I've cooked since Christmas day!
Ease of prep 5; Bonzo 7 because he doesn't like soy that much; Wrigglebottom 9 because she loves fish, rice & veg even if she could taste the lime and an 8 from me. I left it in about 2 minutes longer than I would have liked and it would have benefitted from chilli but then the Wrigglebottom wouldn't have eaten it. Total score 14/15 so will definitely work on this one.
Bon appetit!

Where is the Decider President? He sent his creepy surrogate, Dick "Rasputin" Cheney, slinking around to urge members of congress to support the bailout plan, but where is George?. I suppose Bush II is lying low to avoid casting the long shadow of the GOP on this banking train wreck.
But it's just so striking; in the run up to the largest business bailout in the history of the solar system, Secretary Paulson's boss is strangely absent. No frank and heartfelt talk with the American people. All the Bush administration can do is to attempt to hustle congress into a mysterious plan. Take our plan on faith- we know what we are doing.
No details have been released to the citizens regarding how this number, $0.7 trillion, was arrived at. Is this large sum actually large enough? How does the country recoup this outlay? Is the stated urgency related to the election?
Citizens must learn to save more cash and be smarter about the terms of the mortgage they sign. We must consider that our banking system is much like the municipal water system- it's integrity must be scrupulously maintained and those who manage it must be held accountable for its operation.
Update: Bush II will make an announcement to the nation this evening. I wonder if there will be any folksy anecdotes?

Well I've been busying away with my Christmas game for a while now and I'm slowly getting it to something that I'm happy with. Also we've been given the Concept Art class time to further work on the Christmas game so there's no Concept Art class blog. Next week its back to normal though.
Following on from my concept art of how I wanted it to look I've managed to transfer my imagination onto screen with results I'm impressed with. A very small portion of the code is in place which makes the elves move behind their snowforts and the Santa hand to scroll across the bottom of the screen.
While the original idea was to use the mouse cursor to aim and then click to throw a snowball, upon advice from my lecturer I've changed it to having Santa's hand scroll across the bottom of the screen then clicking the mouse button to throw. I do think this is a good idea as now the game isn't so predictable and your reflexes won't completely allow you to beat the game.
What I have been struggling with is adding snow to it. I've tried and tried to get some snow falling in the game its unreal and to make matters more frustrating, once I've finished typing in the code I've had errors display and the code hasn't worked. Now being honest here, I don't know how to code anything so I've been looking at YouTube tutorials on how to make snowfall where they've either showed the script as a whole or wrote it as the video progressed. I've tried both methods and nada, errors galore and I have no idea how to fix them. That was until I found this tutorial on YouTube….
and someone else in my class very kindly helped me getting it up and running. After many exhausting hours, multiple failed attempts and stress like you've never believe, I have snow!!! WOOOOP!!!!
I know that this will be part of a compilation of mini games that the whole class will present but I do have ideas on how I'd like to flesh this out into a game in its own right. Ideally I'd like to know and be able to add features like the elves throwing snowballs back at you with a life system in place where any hit on you results in a loss of one life. But to be able to counter-act that you could throw a snowball at their snowball to save yourself. Those actions couldn't be done with the scrolling hand, instead the game would revert back to pointer control where you'd have free movement of where you want to throw, but to compensate against that the elves would get quicker and quicker with their throws otherwise the game would be too easy. I'd also like to add some secret things too, like being able to knock the head off the snowman for bonus points for example.
Above is the code that makes this all work, so far. I'd love to say I understand it but I don't. I can kind of get parts of it; the mouse click for example is an event because it can happen at any time and is player controlled; the timeout is the time it takes the Santa hand to move across the screen in milliseconds; the snowflakes are children of the stage (which itself is the parent) and the maths of the snowflakes (size and falling speed) are calculated at random by the computer. Beyond that I have no clue of anything. I'd like to I really would, I'd like to learn how to code and how coding works in Flash but finding tutorials on it is unbelievably hard. Like with most things I'm hoping that if I continue on and keep looking and trying things something will click. That's my plan. I can't possibly go through the entire year and still be none the wiser at the end, can I?

BOSS BV9976B Price Car audio experts are incredibly familiar of what's in and what's for the industry. Similarly, they can be aware of what people mostly need and demand for their own own leisure and expediency. But speaking to them by using a number of experts unfolded my mind on endless possibilities of car audio innovation, which mainly benefits vehicle owners who will be yet getting ready to experience relevant transformation in in-car stereos. Have a look as well as ideas!
AUX-in plug
Of every car audio upgrades, this is probably the least expensive. Jacks are usually present in most car stereo systems there's available, but more often, they aren't used to their largest potential. Some automobile owners disregard the undeniable fact that these jacks can be used to supply music or sound utilizing external sources like Walkman, an mp3 player, an iPod, etcetera. By making use of an AUX-in plug, sound is transmitted from these portable gadgets to the main stereo for release. The good things may be that, you really are just definitely going to invest in a set of wire with expected specifications. It's certainly something you can pay for!
BOSS BV9976B Price
Overhead DVD player
Your car audio system is not only limited to audio producing features, but also to video too. Yes, video becomes an essential way to obtain entertainment inside vehicles as it pairs issues audio. While music is most certainly method to obtain leisure during long hours of road trips, movies do the same thing thing as well. Typically that, it allows people to use just not only their sense of hearing, but in addition their sense of sight. What's nice about having an overhead DVD player is the idea that it may also acts as a watch combo for practically any AV files available. Convenient, isn't it?
Speaker wire upgrade
Most car owners check on their amplifiers and speakers utilizing a thought in mind that a of such car audio features may very well be the reason behind of an unlikely and dissatisfy sound provided by your car audio system. Don t assume all the amount of time, though. Little did everyone know that such problem will often originate from poor old speaker wires that become incompetent of transmitting audio signals from the amplifier into the speakers over the years. Heavier gauge speaker wires able to do to your house providing you that crisp and clear sound that have missed for an extended period of time! It can be an investment everyone should not hesitate on taking.
High-cost head unit upgrade
BOSS BV9976B Price Embrace what technology offers and if you take benefit for getting a "connected" car audio system which is very effective at handling multi-tasks from iPod and Bluetooth connectivity to voice recognition to audio or video accessibility through AUX-in jacks, and many more. If you happen to be living a fast-paced life, it's most definitely according to your needs! Allow up to emerge in updated innovations that improve the car's musical value. The useful thing is that a high-cost head unit upgrade is not like a expensive as its first release. Indeed, technology evolves amazingly quickly. Try not to get left! Take part in this trending phenomenon among vehicle owners. Do the tapping into your own vehicle.

It's been quite some time since I posted anything about my current figure project, so i thought an update is in order. Luckily, she hasn't stalled yet!! They say that preparation is half the battle. That certainly would be the case here…
When we last left Mina, her preliminary fitting was done and excess flash was removed but that was about it. After that came the cleaning. Obviously, you couldn't leave the flash marks and seam lines as they were, otherwise they would show up really badly when you came to the painting phase. (more after the jump)
I used 2 methods to tidy up the kit. First, There's sanding or you can use a modelling knife to scrape the offending parts to make them smooth. The Sanding option is more universal but relatively slow. The scraping technique is pretty quick, but can only be used on seam lines. For sandpaper, I use 150 grit sandpaper (pretty coarse) to remove the large problem resin and then 400 grit for smoothing out. The pic below shows Minas elbow before and after I sanded it down. Pretty big difference, right?
The sanding is probably the most important and time consuming part of the preparation. If it's not done right, the imperfections show up when you apply the undercoat/primer and then you have to start all over again.
The other thing you need to do aside from sanding down the imperfections is to do something about any gaps from poorly fitting parts. This is a bigger problem with recasts but originals are far from immune. Most of the parts for Mina fit really well, better than any kit I have previously done, but there were still problems with the hair parts. Small but visible gaps could be seen between the various hair parts. In those cases, you will need to break out the modeling putty. I use games workshop brand stuff cos I still have tonnes left over from previous kits. Standard model shops sell milliput but they work in the same way. Basically, they work on the principle of "red light/green light" from Mission: Impossible. By mixing the 2 different putties together, they start to harden so you apply them into gaps while they are still soft and then wait until they are dry. Applying vasaline to one of the surfaces prevents the putty from sticking for easy removal later. below is a pic of Minas head with the putty applied.
After a little wait to allow the putty to harden, you then have to sand off all that excess to leave just enough to fill in the gap.
Another alternative to putty is filler. That's a white powder mix which is a little moist to allow the particles to stick together. I tend to use that for pinholes and really small gaps. You can use it on large gaps like the one above but because the substance is powdery, you end up leaving little grains in various areas and they are very hard to remove. I learned my lesson when I tried using that stuff for ren's hair…
Also, last time I mentioned Pinning. Pinning is the technique of drilling small holes in the parts where they will connect to eachother. You then stick a metal rod into the holes and they provide a peg to hold the parts in place while glue dries as well as provide greater strength to the connection. Below is a pic of a part which has been pinned. Generally speaking, I use brass rods of 1mm diameter, though a simple paperclip would do for the most part.
Another advantage of pinning is that it allows you to connect the parts to longer rods which makes it easier to apply paint to the part as you don't touch it directly. Once the parts have all been sanded, before sticking in the metal rods for pinning, it's a good idea to give them a quick wash to remove any resin powder which may have gotten into the small areas. A mix of water and dishwasher powder will do the job. Just have an old toothbrush handy for some scrubbing!
After that has been done, you are ready to prime the parts. Priming is of the utmost importance in figure painting as the primer allows the paint to stick to the resin. Without it, the paint will not stick! For Mina I used 2 types of primer.
Normally I would just use the games workshop white for all the parts but I've had a few issues with it in the past so I thought I would try a different one this time. You can also get black primer, which is very good if you plan to paint your kit a metallic colour but not really for anything else. If you use white primer, your colours will look brighter and very few coats of paint are needed. The colours will get darker as you use darker primer and more coats of paint are needed before you cannot see the primer underneath. However, dark primers are best for showing up any imperfections.
For Mina, I though I would try out Grey primer as an inbetween while using the white primer for the base, since it's going to be white anyways. There were some advantages to using the grey primer such as:
- Really smooth finishes. The GW primer never did quite give a perfectly smooth surface to work on. Chalk it up to the different paint type.
- Easier to see parts which needed more sanding
- Because the grey primer is a lacquer paint, You can wipe out any mistakes made with Acrylic paints with paint thinner and the base coat will not be affected! Previously, if I wasn't careful, I would accidentally end up removing the base coat as well as the paint so I would have to reprime the part.
- Really, REALLY fast dry time!!
- The grey primer is more expensive than the GW stuff. The sprays are also smaller and don't last as long.
- The paint is really toxic. You should do all your spraying outside, but it's doubly important for this stuff!
- It's easier to overdo the spraying and apply too much of a base coat which ends up covering the details if you are not careful. Also, because the paint is thicker, it's harder to tell when you have applied too much.
To prime the parts, I stuck the parts to long brass rods, applied 1 layer of grey base coat and then allowed them to dry outside on a "drying rack"
(*note: do NOT take the parts inside until they are fully dry. The fumes are pretty strong!)
By doing the above to the parts, there is little worry of marks appearing on the surface while it is drying. The brass rods can help with the actual painting process too. If any pinholes appear during drying, wait till the paint has dried and if it is very small, you can use very fine sandpaper to remove the problem (800 grit). For larger areas, you will need to use some white spirit to remove the paint (or paint thinner if you use the GW stuff) and reapply.
Once you are happy with the base coat and there are no marks or imperfections present, then you can start the painting process, which I will leave for another time. The kit has currently stalled since I ran out of a certain colour. The project will resume after I get some more. But in the Meantime, here's what I've done so far.
I still need to do some shading on the legs and then I can start work on the body. I decided to go for the original Densha otoko colouring instead of the more recent anime work, which means that the hair colour is going to be annoying…
Next update should, hopefully, cover the painting of the limbs and body. And maybe the carrot weapons…
