If you don't vote, you can't complain.
But, if you do vote, you can be blamed.

I won't be publishing anymore political posts. I wouldn't want the ruling class to notice me and do to me what they have done to Joe the Plumber.
Nothing to see here.

It feels like the world is racing off a precipice. I know this is just emotional venting, and of little rational value, but we run into economic trouble (brought about by market intervention, not by lack of regulation), and everyone is eager to socialize the economy.
There is no conservative party. There is a socialist party that advocates abortion on demand, and a socialist party that doesn't, at least not as much.
My wife works for a bank; I hope she will get civil service benefits.
Well, since this is a rant, I feel no need to tie it all up into a coherent essay.

Baseless Geopolitical Speculation
How long will it be before oil-producing states need to fear invasion and conquest by oil-importing states?

A confirmation of the Theology of the Body at the local library
My local library has a little room full of books for sale, various cheap paperbacks and no-longer-important political tracts. Sometimes one finds bargains--I just picked up _The Origins of Tolkien's Middle-earth for Dummies_, for example--but generally it is not too worthwhile. But, today, the book room itself was worthy of notice, because the cheap paperbacks were no longer arranged into romances, mysteries, and sci-fi, they were arranged into "Male Authors" and "Female Authors."
Why would one want to know the sex of the author (or authoress) of a book, unless there really was some sort of deep difference between man and woman?
I think I am doomed
I just had a vision of my life as a parent, given the recent California Supreme Court decision about marriage and who is eligible for entering into the matrimonial state:
For the rest of my life as a father, I am going to have to fight my nation's culture tooth and nail, for the good of my children, and I am likely going to lose. Everything that I say about things that really matter, about God, family, love, friendship, even about education and thinking well, will be contradicted daily by the bright, shiny, prosperous, but rotting Western world. My little girls will learn, slowly but surely, that Daddy is a crackpot, a crank, a dinosaur, and a religious fanatic.
Maybe if I read them Chesterton at bedtime. . . .

I really have no interest in politics anymore
having shifted my sights down to the level of the family and away from the international or national. I will vote for someone, somehow, but without any thought of good things resulting from it. But enough of that. I wanted you to notice something: almost every picture of Barack Obama is done in the style of a religious icon. A short web search reveals this one:
Notice the pleroma behind him, the glowing oval of light that reminds us of another image:
For more examples of this sort of thing, the most blatant deification of a candidate I can remember, check out ObamaMessiah.

A Distributist Summer?
With gas prices likely to hit 5$ a gallon, we in the Casa de Karl are going to be driving very little this summer. Once or twice a week to go to church, I think. I really want to try to see how little we can use the cars. Fortunately, we live in a community with some shops nearby, within walking or bicycle riding distance. There are even a few bike paths.
Which brings me to my next topic: a good use for GoogleEarth: finding bicycle routes. I don't like to ride on the street very much, since drivers of cars don't really expect bicycles to be there, and therefore don't look for them. Via Google Earth, I can plan out a route to the shopping areas. I could even tow a kid trailer to carry the parcels.
We'll see how it goes.

The hearts of many will be laid bare
if the current food crisis continues. It looks like famines are going to result from a commitment to "biofuels". The developed countries will assuage their consciences by putting their crops into their cars, while the developing countries will starve.
Someone should ask Gore how many people should die in Bangladesh for the sake of an ethanol mandate.

Concerning music and taste
Criticisms of some of the music at the papal liturgy have raised the cry of smallness against the critics. After all, isn't music a matter of taste?
I don't think it is. I think music is a matter of math and physics, and has a reality that we can't easily evade. I wrote up a handout for my students on this topic, and demonstrated musical concepts with a guitar and with the wonderful Scala microtonal program.
Perhaps you will find it interesting. I tried to post it here, but Blogger doesn't like math formulas. Here it is.
It's great that the Pope is here
but who picked out the awful responsorial psalm at the liturgy in Washington? Parellel whole tone scales? C-D-E-F#, repeated over and over, all for Psalm 104? If the Lord sends out his Spirit to renew the face of the earth, and it results in such cacophony, why would one want it?
An unfortunate choice, I think.

If you want to read Homer
but, like me, don't know Greek very well, there are two resources for you:
The Perseus Project under Philologic at the University of Chicago, which has a lot of Greek and Latin texts linked to lexica and morphology analyzers. Just select a word and press "d", and a definition window pops up. This is a wonderful resource, and is working much faster these days than the Perseus servers at Tufts.
The Chicago Homer, which gives you an interlinear Homer, with Greek on one line and the English on the next. It's good for when one is puzzled, but it is also a great temptation to cheat.
If you don't want to read Homer, then there's no helping you.

A hypothetical question
If using ethanol in my car caused starving in India, should I still use it?
How many deaths would be acceptable in order to promote biofuels?

The Difference Between Me and God
When I see suffering, I try to fix it. Well, that's not quite true. I don't try to fix it, but I stand around wondering why someone doesn't fix it. The upshot is that I think of suffering as a problem to be solved.
In my worst moments, I look to God and say, "Why haven't you solved suffering?" Sometimes I get angry, especially after reading the newspapers. How could people do such things? Where is God?
God, being a gentleman, does not point out to me that I haven't solved suffering either. Rather, God does things in a way I never would have. He doesn't get rid of suffering at all; God becomes man and goes to a horrible but completely voluntary death. He sanctifies suffering by undergoing it. Suffering is no longer an evil---no, that's not right: it still is an evil, but an evil which God has made good.
Think about that for a minute. How is it that God chose to act in the world? He chose the lowest, worst, most evil part of human existence, namely the suffering that we inflict on each other, and made it the means to the highest thing imaginable, the participation in God's very nature. The cosmic irony is that Pilate and Caiaphas at their worst were bringing about the best, a superlative good beyond comprehension.

Trouble at St. Xavier
A threat causes a closing.
I have some experience with St. Xavier and with the people there. I cannot quarrel with Dr. Dwyer's decision to close the school in the face of threats, but I wonder what will become of higher education when anonymous threats can cause a place to shut.
Once again, I do not fault SXU. I think it is the right decision, but I am sure there will be many copycats.

Smiths in Homer
In book 18 of the Iliad, we have the shield of Achilles presented to us, a marvelous work of craft, a presentation or imitation of the life of two cities on a shield. There is a city of war and a city of peace, and Homer spends many lines describing it. The shield seems like a discordant note in a symphony, or rather like a chordant note in a cacophony. Amidst the horrors of war, it appears. It is like a poppy growing on a dungheap.
Interpretation varies on the meaning of the shield, and it is a mark of Homer's genius that the shield can bear all the interpretations. Homer's poem, his making, is rich enough to bear it. But I want to talk about it as a construction of a smith.
Chesterton remarks in _A Short History of England on the remarkable poetry that lies below that most prosaic of names. Smiths take earth and make artifacts, implements, and beautiful things out of it by commanding elemental forces. It is as if the gods have inspired them. I think there is something to be said about the mere craft of smithship, as there is a convergence of themes in this book.
Hephaestus, the smith, is ugly and lame. As a result, he is thrown from the heavens and abandoned by his mother, only to be taken care of by the goddess Thetis. Nevertheless, despite his lameness, he is the one who makes the halls of Olympus where the gods dwell in splendor. It is Hephaestus, more than any other god, who makes the glory of the gods possible.
Thetis, during her visit, reveals to the reader the conditions of her marriage to Peleus, the father of Achilles. It was not a happy marriage, but rather one to which she was forced, being yoked to a mortal doomed to grow old and die. This was planned by Zeus. Achilles is the result of an arranged marriage, and therefore one could reasonably say that Achilles, son of Thetis, is arranged, a work of craftsmanship.
But there is more: Hephaestus is attended by female robots, cast in gold and silver, who do his bidding and by extension that of the gods. He is called upon to make new armor for Achilles, and he makes it and the splendid shield out of gold and silver. Achilles is a robot of the gods, an automaton created so that the will of Zeus may work towards its end. All of his glory comes only from the gods, and it is no credit to himself. Furthermore, the god his glory ultimately depends on is the lame smith, Hephaestus, who creates armor (and hence the persona) for his last battles.
What does this mean? The greatness of the hero lies in the gods, in particular the artificer god. But from the parellel with Homer the blind poet, we can see that the greatness of the hero also lies in the human artificer of words, the poet. It is not his own. The most melancholy part of the story of Achilles is that he seeks an immortality based on martial glory where none of it really belongs to him. The only thing he is really responsible for is the death of Patroclus. Like the Christian who can say that all comes from God except his sin, for Achilles all comes from the gods and poets except for his shame and sorrow, which belong particularly to him.
Let this end the Homeric ramble.

Atonement and incarnation
Warning: this post contains spoilers about the movie Atonement.
Fr. Edward Oakes presents an analysis of the recent Academy Award winning movie, asking the question "What sort of atonement is available for the atheist?" The gist of the novel is that the character Briony accuses another character of rape on flimsy evidence, ruins his life, and then spends the rest of her life attempting to atone. She becomes a writer and writes a novel about her evil deed, giving those whose lives she destroyed a happy ending in order to make up for or atone for her misdeed. Oakes says:
What struck me in reading this intricate work of metafiction was the implicit motor of the plot: Briony knew the devastation she wreaked and knew equally she had to atone for it. Lies that consequential demand atonement, as the title of the novel already tells us. But Briony lives in an a-religious world (religion never comes up in the novel, even as a topic of conversation), and so her only way to expiate her lie is by living a life of yet more lying.
The atheist has no recourse in attempting to make justice in an unjust world except by lying, by creating a fiction where happy endings can happen. It is an interesting point, but I think there is a different way to read it: The device of the author within the book, who writes herself into the book, is a sort of mini-incarnation. Briony, who reveals at the end of the book and movie that she has falsified the ending to make up for her misdeeds, has put herself into the fictional reality she has created. She has entered into her own creation to make things right for her characters. This, to me, suggests the Incarnation. Briony so loved her sister and her love that she enters into her own novel. In her case, it is ultimately a lie. She can't change what has happened, but only her representation of what happened. The Incarnation is the same sort of story, except that God can in fact reshape reality, making all things new.
Or so it seemed to me.

I know it is my own fault
that nobody reads this any more. Somewhere along the line I lost the will to blog. Maybe I should say something controversial to see if anyone is out there. Here goes:
You can't be a good Catholic and a good American. By this I mean that the secular culture and the ways of thought that are required to be a good citizen are quite contrary to those required of a good Christian.
Anyone out there want to pick a fight with me on this?

That he may bring forth bread from the earth
… and wine, to cheer man's heart;
oil, to make his face shine
and bread to strengthen man's heart.
I baked this bread today. This seems a very common thing, but I wonder if you have ever stopped to wonder about how the strangest and most unusual things make man happy. Bread comes from grass seeds, ground, moistened, rising from the cooperation of yeast, and then baked. Who would have ever thought such a thing could be one of the glories of the world? It is no wonder that Christ chose bread and wine to become his Body and Blood—they are already sacramental.

Nerdus sum
I make fun of a friend of mine for his geek chic (making jokes about tertiary characters in Tolkien, quoting G'Kar, or wearing shirts that say "There's no place like 127.0.0.1"), but the fact is that I always get his jokes. So, what does that make me? After all, I am writing this post on Vim, using Markdown to code the HTML, and using MultiMarkdown to transform my Markdown docs into RTF, LaTeX, or HTML.
I think my pot is pretty black.

The Sin of the Age
An interesting thought, well expressed, in John Erickson's The Challenge of Our Past: Studies in Orthodox Canon Law and Church History:
Apostasy? Fornication? Is not the besetting sin of our time rather that miserable schizophrenia according to which the Church occupies one compartment of our lives, while all our values and expectations are formed by the increasingly non-Christian world?
Yes, apostasy and fornication still occur, but we are generally too busy with the cares of the world even to notice that we are apostates and fornicators. By that I mean that we have put the things of God into such a box that it doesn't enter our consciousness that God could make any demands on us, at least not in our real life, the life from Sunday to Sunday. One can preach against more concrete sins all day long, but until the audience realizes that there can be such a thing as sin, that preaching will be worthless.
There may be a God, the modern person says, but what does He have to do with me?

I know it's the normal state of the world, but it seems like war is breaking out everywhere. No news but bad news.
Anyone got any good news? I'll start. My kids pretended to be puppies for a few hours today, crawling around and barking. It was very enjoyable to watch them.
Lord have mercy.

Why you should read Gene Wolfe:
You should read Gene Wolfe because he does things to you. He plays tricks with you soul. Neat tricks.
I am currently reading the Soldier in the Mist series. In it, the soldier called "Latro" has suffered a head wound, losing his memory daily. His experience is thus compressed to day-sized chunks, and his memory is stored on scrolls that he writes at the end of each day. He takes part in the Persian War around 480 B.C.
So much for the plot.
What makes the book so interesting to me is the use of creative dislocation. This is a term I've just coined to refer to the way Wolfe makes the everyday, in this case the everyday of pre-classical Greece, mysterious. Latro is a foreigner with some knowledge of languages, and so hears Greek words not as names, fossilized in their meanings, but as descriptions. Thus Athens becomes Thought, the Spartans are the Rope Makers, the country of the Spartans is called The Silent Land., and so forth. Familiar geography that became crusted over in high school history text books becomes strange and unrecognizable, and therefore fantastic. Characters that one becomes accustomed to are forever new to Latro, and though he may have an inkling of who they are, he needs to meet them again every day. Loves are continually rediscovered.
Also, Latro can see the gods.
He sees the gods when no-one else can. This is because of his forgetfulness, or so the gods tell us in the story. I think it isn't so much because of the forgetfulness, but because of the state of perpetual newness into which Latro is thrust. The whole world is full of gods, as Thales said, but most of us don't notice because we are so used to it. Or, to put it in Aristotelian terms, all love of wisdom begins in wonder. Most of us don't love wisdom because the world holds no wonder.
It's good stuff. Not an easy read, but well worth the effort.

The Rogue, a seemingly timeless and ubiquitous figure – has seen many iterations – the cowboy, archeologist, space-smuggler, but seldom as a trader. Why is that? Probably because the world of financial markets is a world of rules and regulations, no place for a rogue. But they're still out there, the loose-cannon traders that within a proverbial New York minute manage to lose millions of dollars. Gun-ho taylored-suit-wearing rebels, haphazardly investing in risky assets in the hopes of huge payoffs. Usually rogue traders will work behind the scenes making trades with impunity – until they lose…everything.
Here are eight of the most memorable traders gone rogue.
Nick Leeson
Nick Leeson is likely to be on most rogue traders list as he managed to bring down an entire bank. Barings Bank, one of the UK's oldest merchant bank at the time, was brought down by a series of sour trades that combined reached £827 million. Leeson even managed to turn a profit while trading under Barings' name, including 10% Barings's net profit in '93.[1] After serving five years he became CEO of Galway United an Irish football team.
Jerome Kerviel
Jerome Kerviel, a French trader, was arrested in the beginning of 2008 after the French authorities discovered a huge scheme at the cost of Societe Generale Bank, one of France's biggest banks. Using arbitrage, which means Kerviel would buy and sell the same instrument on different markets, taking advantage of the price difference. The problem is that he used the bank's assets and didn't really tell anyone. He was sent away (to prison) for three years.[2]
Yasuo Hamanaka
Yasuo Hamanaka was a criminal polymath with skills including price-fixing, fraud and forgery. His call to glory – or more appropriately disgrace – was copper. When everything was said and done, Hamanaka cost Sumitomo Corporation, the firm he was employed by, a whopping $2.6 billion. He received eight years in 1997. His rogue trading even earned him a cool nickname – "Mr. Five Percent" – because it is said that that is how much of the global copper market he once owned.[3]
Peter Young
Peter Young is one of the rogues that story are written about (not only because I'm writing about him right now). He (kind of, you'll see later) held on to 10% of the assets to be used for investment – while being employed by Morgan Grenfell Asset Management. Here's where it becomes weird – he showed up to the hearing in a dress and revealed that he attempted a self-administered sex-change…he was found not guilty due to insanity. Obviously.⁴
Toshihide Iguchi
This ex-Daiwa Bank exec, unlike other self-administered sex-changers, actually confessed with an comprehensive 30-page letter. His confession admitted to bond trading without authorization, ultimately costing Daiwa Bank $1.1 billion. Iguchi managed to keep his trading up for decades, forging an admittedly impressive 30,000 trading slips. In 1996 he received a four-year prison sentence and a handsome fine of $2.6 million.[4]
Bruno Michel Iksil
Yet another rogue trader with a cool nickname or a hurtful insult depending on Bruno Michel Iksil's body mass index – "The London Whale," caused $4 billion worth of damage to finance giant, JPMorgan in 2012. Using credit default swaps he committed a series of derivative transactions. The investigation launched against Iksil, involved 1000 people and even got JP Morgan in trouble, due to their lacking internal control systems.⁵
Brian Hunter
Brian Hunter is credited with causing the largest hedge fund implosions in history, resulting in $6.5 billion worth of damage to his firm Amaranth Advisors in 2006. Trading on natural gas spreads over a span of several years The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and CFTC accused Brian of conspiring to manipulate natural gas prices. The huge magnitude of his natural gas positions as part of his hedge fund, which main intent was to deliver frequent and consistent returns to his investors is that makes Brian a rogue.[5]
John Rusnak
There are a lot of stories where people disappear, there are even more stories where people disappear with money – but few people disappear with an astounding $700 million. That's exactly what happened to John Rusnak in the beginning of 2002. When the investigators started digging they found a decade of shady trading covered up, hundreds of millions lost traded against the Japanese yen. They way he tried to cover his indiscretions was with falsified options. When everything was said and done Rusnak had surpassed his $2.5 million limit for trading a jaw-dropping 3,000 times. Was sentenced to seven years for these slight indiscretions.[6]
Keeping on the straight and narrow might not be exciting or result in mind-blowing profits, but it will keep you out of jail and will also allow you to continue working. So as all those famous shows say at the beginning "Don't try this at home".

It seems that Newcastle United are aggressively pursuing 21 year-old Manchester United and England Under-21 striker, Fraizer Campbell.
Fraizer Campbell – Red devils striker could prefer Newcastle over Hull
While Newcastle United have been relegated to the Championship the Tyneside club, with their legendary fan base – the last two home games of the season were sell-outs at 52,000 – and the high probability that Alan Shearer will be given the opportunity to transform the club, are still a big draw for players.
And reports say that sources in the North West, who are close to the talented 21-year-old, have said that Fraizer may be interested to wait awhile to see if Newcastle could come after him, following his participation in the European U21 Championships in Sweden.
Campbell is delaying any decision on his future until after that tournament, and he is part of the England squad, and the Huddersfield-born player replaced Theo Walcott in England's win 2-1 against Finland in Halmstad last night.
Unfortunately our own Steven Taylor had to pull out of the tournament injured, probably due to the lad playing while he was injured, in an attempt to help save his home town club.
That decision to delay any decision on his future, is not what Hull manager Phil Brown and his chairman Paul Duffen, wanted to hear, but with Alan Shearer potentially becoming Newcastle manager, even before the end of this week, Fraizer isn't the only Under-21 International Shearer could be pursuing.
And for a young striker, what better manager to help you in your development than one of the greatest strikers England has ever produced, and the greatest striker in Premier League history with 261 Premier league goals – Alan Shearer.
While on loan to various clubs over the last 3 seasons (see information at end of article), the 5'11" striker has 37 goals in 77 first class club appearances. That's nearing Shearer's goals per game record, although not as good as Alan, who scored 379 goals in 733 first class appearances. 😀
The North West source told the Newcastle Evening Chronicle today:
"Fraizer has heard that Newcastle United are sniffing around. And he is intrigued to see how things pan out up there."
"He is well aware that there is some uncertainty at Newcastle at the moment. But he is waiting to see what the outcome of that is because this is such a crucial move in his career."
Hull City are also forced to play the waiting game, and will no doubt be keen to understand what the youngster wants to do once the European U21 Championships are over.
But Hull may find that even though they are a Premier League team and Newcastle are not, the youngster could still plump for the Newcastle Club, and that wouldn't be too surprising, especially if Shearer is in charge and goes after the youngster aggressively.
The Hull City Chairman Duffen said:
"We have to convince him coming to Hull City is the best thing for his career."
"I believe the next step for Fraizer is to be at Hull, where he'll get a start every week and the opportunity to score goals in the Premier League."
"That's what he needs on his CV, in my opinion."
But even though the Newcastle club has been mauled through the gutter – again – over the last 3 weeks, Alan Shearer can very quickly put the Newcastle house in order – always assuming not all the rooms have burned down.
And simply by the remarks made by his players over the last 8 games of last season, Alan seems an inspirational manager to play for, and youngsters will be attracted to that.
Campbell is said to be available for around £6M.
Comments welcome.
Some information on Campbell:
Campbell signed for the Manchester United Academy in July 2004, and scored 14 goals in 22 starts for the Under-18s side. His excellent performances led to him playing five times for the Reserves, for whom he scored once.
And in the following season, he made a further 13 appearances for the Under-18s, scoring nine goals, but his major impact came for the strong Red Devils Reserve side.
Campbell was the Reserve team's joint second-top scorer with nine goals (behind former Newcastle loan player Giuseppe Rossi, who scored 26 goals in 25 games), helping the team on their way to a Reserve Treble of Premier Reserve League, North/South Play-off Shield and Manchester Senior Cup.
Campbell was named in the squad for the FA Cup Third Round match against Burton Albion in January 2006. He scored his first goal for the club in 2006 after he had come on as a substitute for Wayne Rooney in a friendly against Macclesfield Town.
He has been loaned out to Royal Antwerp in 2006-2007 where he scored 21 goals in 33 appearances, and then to Hull the next season, when Hull were promoted, and he scored 15 goals in 34 appearances. Last season he was at Spurs where he scored a single goal in 10 games for the London club.
Fraizer has played 11 times for the England U21 side scoring 3 goals.
77 comments so far
Who would want to play for that complete knacker Phil Brown, i would love to see Hull take a pummelling next season just to watch his antics on the touchline. There will be a lot of managers looking for revenge after their deplorable unsporting behaviour last season, even Gary Megson commented on it and i have never heard him say a bad word about anyone.
This lad would be a good buy, could be very similar to Andy cole (Disregarded by arsenal only to turn out to be one of the best strikers in the game). I think Shearer has already contacted players and sounded them out about moves to Toon. Obviously he cant really do anything else whilst fat boy leaves the club in limbo but if new owners are nearly in & Shearer in as boss things might get better very quickly. I think this statement from campbell (If true) only illustrates the pull that shearer will have in the transfer market, playing for Shearer will be a dream come true for most of these young players who grew up watchin him bang in goals week after week in the prem. I would love to bring in Darren gibson, Kris commons & possibly get some loans from Arsenal like whiltshire or Vela.
Well said rangerman. Still cant understand some comments on previous article saying "dont rate dont want him". We were BUM last season & ou strikers were BUM. So lets get in some young hungry strikers with a point to prove & reputations to make like beckford & campbell & possibly cox if he's got potential. We also desperatly need some creativity in mthe middle of the park & service from out wide.
Campbell or Martins up front in the championship will be too much for opposition defenders. Any two of Skjelbred, Guthrie or Barton in midfield will be far superior to whoever our opposition has in the middle.
If we can somehow hold on to Bassong then he will have any championship striker in his pocket.
Still dont think Bassong will stay but l agree if he did no striker will get past him, imagine this team
Backed up with people like Guthrie, Kadar, Carroll, Ranger, R.Taylor, butt (unfortunatly), Beckford etc
I think Campbell would be a cracking signing, along with skjelbred – although i doubt the credibility of the "sources", weve heard more sources than heinz in the last few weeks.
Another problem is cash, these 2 players would be "reportedly" 11 million between them. We could do it, if we can keep hold of Bassong, Taylor and other key players as then they wouldnt need to be replaced.
If he was any good why would Man u be trying to sell him?
The same reason they sold Rossi and Pique perhaps, they can't accommodate them all.
We did get relegated last season by the way in case you missed it so to turn down a player on the basis of him not being good enough for Man Utd is ridiculous .
we dont need capmbell tho? dont no why every is banging on about him, hes not that good! there are better and cheaper options elsewhere. plus we still have bambi, and altho he may get alot of stick i think hell prove to b a gd ccc striker.lets focus on bolstering the midfield as we hav plenty of strikers ready who are going to be useless without a gd midfield as we saw this year.
I'd make a straight swap: Martins for Campbell & Gibson + take Fabio da Silva on a 1 year loan.
Subs: Krul,Lovekrands,Ranger,Kadar,Butt,Edgar,Lua Lua.
Manure will be getting rid of him because having sent him out on loan and seeing performances from the likes of macheda and welbeck whilst he was away, they've merely realised he's not one of their main young strikers-they have enough talent in said department im sure. I dont really understand how people can question why we'd take him when one of the top two teams in the world have realised he's surplus to requirements-i'd still snap him up because he's clearly still a very good young striker.
Agree with you also Rangerman, i think he could play very well with a target man in an agbonlahor esque roll.
I'm well aware its most probably paper nonsense but if there's even an ounce of truth in the claims that the likes of campbell and beckford are willing to wait to see what happens with us then thats encouraging for me. (i'd take both campbell and beckford, given the chance).
Can also see Nile Ranger breaking into the first team next season. If we had Ranger, Carroll, Beckford, Campbell (oba?) to pick from, we'd be laughing i reckon. Keep bassong, bring in the likes of that skjelbred (havent seen much of him, but he seems a die hard toon fan and is attracting prem interest, he must have something?) and things would look ALOT rosier.
partizan, what! martins is our best striker? i appreciate ur opinion but is swappin an experienced good striker for two youngsters a good option? yes it adds numbers but takin both those on is a risk. specially since we need to get the team all workin the same page. buy cox and our strikeforce should b f9.
ranger i agree a carrick role would suite guthrie, i jus feel he lacks the defensive skills enough for such a role.
guthrie butt duff
do u think that would b gd?possibly change it around with sjkelbred/nolan/lua lua etc.
Also, whats the deal with Haris Vukic?…has there been any indication that he might see first team action next season?..i know he's still a young'n but should big Al take the reigns he has said if you're good enough you're old enough. Am i wrong in thinking someone (maybe Money?) a while back said he thinks he is more than ready for a taste of championship action?
Xisco could stay lads.
He doesn't wanna leave.

Last May 8, Brazilian flip-flop brand, Ipanema showcased their newest collection inspired by jungle creatures, bringing fierceness to today's modern style.
From Ipanema's PR:
The runway event witnessed the gathering of fiercest go-getters of the land. Popular celebrities and top models in the name of Enchong Dee, Phoemela Baranda, Ornussa Cadness, Mia Ayesa, Peter Norrdell, among others, graced the occasion and spiced up the night channeling their inner fashion animals. No other moment seemed more apt as the night was dedicated to unraveling the fabulous "fauna" of new IPANEMA flipflop styles through a numinous, story-telling fashion show featuring jungle creatures that embodythe diverse tastes and characters of today's stylistas.What exactly unfolded during the roaring runway show? A jamboree of mystical animals which included the playful and graceful dolphin; the sleek and agile "Jacob" of the land: the wolf. Also making his regal presence felt was the king of the jungle, lion with its powerful and intimidating stance. Completing the fashion soiree was the vibrant and sophisticated peacock; the soaring eagle with its potent sexual energy; the meek and mild gazelle that represents those with laid back taste; the sexy and imperial snake; the eye-catching ostrich; the zebra which dons its uniqueness in every possible way; and the funny and quirky caterpillar, which transformed into a glamorous butterfly as its fellow animals strutted their way into the urban jungle, a place where there is boundless freedom to express one's definitive flair and need for comfort. Indeed, it was a runway spectacle like no other.
I loved how they made the show very interactive, very fun, and very creative. The costumes and makeup of the dancers/ models were fantastic, and the dancers were all in character as they embodied the jungle creatures that inspired the collection. It was such an awesome show, kudos to the organizers and to all those who took part in the fashion show.
Featuring the newest flipflop designs by Ipanema, inspired by jungle creatures:

Meeting Mega 64 or Dancing like a Whore..
I went to San Diego for a top secret reason involving video game goodness. My arch nemesis (if you still don't know about this, click here) Mega 64 was also in this location.. and they invited me to their podcast for tea and crumpets.
It was my last day there and I had to make a choice.
Meeting Mega 64, or dance like a whore?
If you need video proof.. read on..
Truth is their invitation was great as I really wanted to meet these guys, they bring me to my happy place.. n' stuff.
Here's a bit of our wonderful conversation from the podcast:
^^ pro-tip: My conversation with them starts at 38:30 but you have to wait for the movie to buffer before you fast-forward to that time, sillypants. 😛
Wallowing in my emoness, I decided to dance like a whore anyway with a muscle-bound midget, see video below:
^^ pro tip II: Double-click to access 1280 res.. =)
Well, okay.. maybe he wasn't a midget. However, still completely ineligible (gay) gah.. I need my coping mechanisms too! Don't judge me.
p.s – Rocco called me after the podcast and apologized and gave me aural love. =D

The Head of the Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies Yerlan Karin stated this to Report, speaking about the role that Kazakhstan could play in solving the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.
According to him, the parties themselves must make an effort to resolve the conflict: "Kazakhstan's efforts are aimed mainly at reducing the impact of any extraneous factors".
Karin also said that Kazakhstan could become a place for dialogue between the West and Russia, "I have made a research and it was found that after the escalation of the tense situation between the West and Russia, the President Nazarbayev held telephone conversations with Putin in connection with the Ukrainian crisis and then with Minsk, Ankara and Brussels".
He also noted that, despite the efforts of Belarus in this regard, the official Minsk had no access to Western partners: "We need this conflict to be resolved peacefully. We have a relevant position in this regard".

We compile our timetables with great care and experience and look to make as many connections as possible. There are a huge number of potential connections on our routes. Where we can't schedule them all, we prioritise them according to greatest demand, greatest potential demand and alternative connections. We also seek to make them achievable and dependable, so we won't timetable very tight connections out of long distance services in some circumstances. We talk to all the other train operators, and we all make changes regularly to make connections. We are always mindful of our regular local passengers. We'll judge each case individually: it's very often impossible to please everyone, so we try and please the largest number of passengers.

The Blind Horse Restaurant and Winery will launch its first Run With Angels 5k Run/Walk on June 18, as part of their Annual Art & Wine Festival. Proceeds from the run/walk as well as other events throughout the day will benefit the Sharon S. Richardson Hospice Community.
"We wanted to do something truly unique and special to enhance our support of Sharon S. Richardson Hospice," says General Manager, Thomas Nye. "In my opinion, this new run/walk is not only a perfect match for the hospice community, but an opportunity for all of us who have lost loved ones to come together in their honor and in their memory."
Run With Angels 5k Run/Walk was created and inspired by the loving memory of those who have passed, who continue to touch our souls as angels among us. This event is dedicated to their life and spirit. The event also honors life, by creating this opportunity for all those who have lost someone to join together and unite for this moving experience.
Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. and the 5k will begin at 9:30 a.m. on June 18 at The Blind Horse. Participants are asked to bring two printed photos of their loved one; one for the memory wall of dedication and one for participants to carry on their person for the race.
Additionally, each participant will be given the option of uploading a photo of their loved one upon registration and The Blind Horse will use it to make a custom label for the bottle of wine they will receive.
Entry fee is $50 which includes race t-shirt, custom labeled bottle of wine (for participants 21 and over) and a Blind Horse Wine glass. Full details and registration at www.runwithangels.org.

text: I have been suffering with lower pelvic pain, heavy periods, irregular periods, stomach problems and many other symptoms since i was 14. I had been back an forth to the local hospital with no results and just getting constantly put on loads of different tablets. I finally decided to pay for a consultation and was given news of Mr Rowland in the Wirral hospital, he operated after my first appointment and fitted the marina coil. It worked for the first few months and now my symptoms are creeping back, i now have to have another pill along side the marina and ibs treatment. I still have all the pain in my joints, hips locking, swollen stomach, fatigue and generally feeling unwell. I just hope these are going to start working.

2015 Reading StatsNumber Of Books You Read: Not quite sure . . .
Number of Re-Reads: Umm not too sure either . . .
Genre You Read The Most From: Probably fantasy
Best In BooksBest Book You Read in 2015?
Most Memorable Character of 2015?
- Levana from The Lunar Chronicles I guess, like I mean there is absolutely no forgetting that women.
Book You Were Excited About & Thought You Were Going To Love More But Didn't?
Best series you started in 2015? Best Sequel of 2015? Best Series Ender(s) of 2015?
- THE WINNER'S CURSE (THE WINNER'S TRILOGY #1) hands down, it's the best, such great world building and characters + the lovely covers.
- A WORLD WITHOUT PRINCES (THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL #2) Really really enjoyed this one, Soman's writing blew me away.
- I couldn't decide which was the best series ender so I have two of them . . .
- HOW TO FIGHT A DRAGON'S FURY (HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON #12) Tears, many many tears. This was probably the most tear jerking book of this year.
- WINTER (THE LUNAR CHRONICLES #4) This was a final stop on a marvelous adventure. I really adore these series, everything about them is fabulous. {Well maybe not Levana}
Shortest & Longest Book You Read in 2015?
- THE MAN WHO REMEMBERED THE MOON At 87 pages this was by far the smallest.
- WINTER At 827 this was undoubtedly the gargantuanest. (and if you can't tell I absolutely loved this book)
Book That Shocked You The Most (because of a plot twist, character death, left you hanging with your mouth wide open, etc.)
- HOW TO FIGHT A DRAGON'S FURY Cressida Cowell is thee plot twist queen. I don't know how she does it she just does.
Book That Made You Cry Or Nearly Cry in 2015?
Levana & Evret ha ha noKai & Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles) will be my doom these two cuties are just so insanely adorable together, and they just need to get married already.
- Kestrel & Arin (The Winner's Trilogy) angsty love, my favorite. Something about two people hating each others guts then falling in love makes me happy.
My Blogging/Bookish LifeNew Favorite Book Blog(s) You Discovered in 2015?
Okay, I'm cheating on this one. Since I'm like really new to the blogging world I've discovered like a bunch of new favorite blogs so I am not choosing, they are all too great to pick just one.
- NOSE GRAZE Ashley is thee coding queen. Like I mean her stuff just blows me away + her website is super gorgeous. And her post are amazing.
- PAPER FURY Cait has an amazing sense of humor and her posts are always entertaining + she adores dragons too! Also her blog is really pretty (as you can see I can't resist a pretty blog design)
- THE DAILY PROPHECY I adore Mel, she is just perfection. I love her Let it Go feature and I need to participate in her Retelling Challenge + her blog is fairytale themed I can't help but love it.
- THESE PAPER HEARTS Stephanie's reviewing style is so unique, I just love it. Like I mean all those fancy graphs and charts + she's a coder and all of her tutorials yield very pretty things!
- WORD ELIXIRS Who doesn't love this name? Lara is a naming genius {her blog name used to be The Paperback Princess, isn't that pretty?} Also GIFs, I for one probably will never use GIFs in my reviews but they're still fun to see in other peoples posts + her tumblr is bae.
Favorite Review That You Wrote in 2015?
- WINTER Writing this review was a ton of fun (and I had a lot to say, this is my longest review yet) Since my very first post was about Winter's cover reveal this review was extra special. And even though I haven't technically posted the review yet, it's still my favorite.
Best Event That You Participated In? (author signings, festivals, virtual events, memes, etc.)
Best Moment of Bookish/Blogging Life in 2015?
- Probably when I finished the post footer for my blog. It's basically the only thing I did without a bunch of help from tutorials and whatnot (though the code for the social media share buttons and similar post stuff were from tutorials) It was my first actual time writing CSS so I felt a teeny weeny bit proud, there's just something about accomplishing something yourself that feels nice.
Best Bookish Discover? (book related sites, book stores, etc.)
Most Challenging Thing About Blogging Or Your Reading Life This Year?
- Probably the confusingness of HTML/CSS and don't even mention Javascript *cringe* I never did any real coding but I did have to play around with it when designing my blog (there's only so many tutorials on the web) just the other day I was struggling with a jQuery script conflict. Though it's not all bad I've gained some knowledge concerning HTML code and I've discovered I really like web design.
Looking Ahead
One Book You Didn't Get To In 2015 But Will Be Your #1 Priority in 2016?
Book You Are Most Anticipating For 2016?
Things You Hope To Accomplish Or Do In Your Reading/Blogging Life In 2016?
- I'd like to for own get some more readers, right now QuartzFeather is a rather small blog and I'd like to gain a larger audience.
- Take more book photo's. I just started with this and it's pretty fun but I'm a little scarce on props and books.
- Buy more books, before moving this year I didn't have that much space for books so in result I didn't have many books, but now I do. More books!
- Get better at blogging, there is always room to improve, but being such a newbie I have a lot of space to grow.
- Mayhaps become a booktuber, I've considered this for a while but to do that I'd need to get a better camera.
- Read more physical books, I've been mostly an audiobook person this year but I miss reading books with pages, but with how busy I've been audiobooks have been the better choice since I can multitask.

Your thoughts?
Had one to say. Vitafilm say you can soak your films. Reels are a different type of plastic. Not had a problem yet! Any super 8mm with paste stripe now that could be a major problem.
I used to use 2.22 and found this OK. If you wanted to tape splice they made a solvent to remove the cleaner, used to leave brown marks on the first clean, I then rewound, nothing on cloth. Years later the films I used it on are still well lubed. DCR Films were always treated with 2.22 so ran smoothly.
I still love the smell of film in the morning
|Date registered
Hi David and Vidar, 2.22 was the best of the lot, sadly now gone, FilmRenew is very good, it is great on brittle or warped film and doesn't harm it, but like Vitafilm can't be imported to the UK, Cresclene can't be sent through the post either, so backed into a corner, I now use WD40, I purchased a gallon container for less than £25.00, so it should last a while. I had been using on 16mm with no adverse effect, so it will be my cleaner come wax of choice from now on. It has the ability to hide light marks and prints just glide through the machines.
Hugh would I be correct in assuming you have to apply WD40 very sparingly ?
I just give it a wipe through as I used to do with 2.22, any residue seems to disappear after showing, but it does leave the print feeling very smooth. I should have used it years ago, it does as good a job as any of the others, at a fraction of the price. Give it a try David, if
it was in any way harmful to the film, I wouldn't use it, but there are no side effects, just a nice rock steady image.
Is it okay on striped prints though ?
It doesn't seem to do any harm, I was a bit hesitant at first, but I cleaned a grubby film from ebay recently and it is fine.
I've heard WD-40 can leech the dyes in color film. maybe cut a small piece of film off into two different jars with WD-40 and real film cleaner to see how it reacts between the two. I saw some old posts by John Pytlak from Kodak warning people not to use it.
No offence Jacob, but where were the experts from Kodak when they gave us Eastman?
good one Hugh. & Kodak invented the digital camera in the 70s but didn't go through with it, instead they let everyone else do it and it all but wiped them out
Have to say i use film guard, its harmless,(or i think it is) and now ive finally learnt to stop over doing it i dont get any problems with wow and flutter when it use to slide through the projector without touching the side.

Different people different time? http://www.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ult...t=003009#000012 There's the post to one of John Pytlak's posts on Film-Tech. (If posting links to outside forums isn't allowed I'll removed it)
NEVER use WD-40 on film! - It will leach out the color dyes in the image. WD-40 will also cause visible "mottle" in the projected image, and hold dirt particles on the film. The damages may not immediately be noticeable upon projection, but does damage the print over time.
Here's a link to the US MSDS for WD-40:
No problems linking to other forums, but maybe not all will see it, if the other forum is locked for guests
I quoted it just in case something ever happens to it. One thing I really like about there is the rules on never posting outside articles or pictures without also posting to the forum itself so if that link ever dies people who search old posts can see what they're talking about.
Just like that WD-40 MSDS PDF... Here's an updated link if anyone cared to see it: http://www.wd40company.com/files/pdf/msds-wd494716385.pdf
Hmmm ... Eye tearing it says

Scary stuff
I like the smell of WD-40. Maybe I shouldn't stick my nose so close to it anymore.
I take the point Jacob, but the powers that be obviously don't want us to import known good film lubricants, they might
be hazardous, but like to import all kinds of terrorist wannabe's, that is much safer than a bottle of Film Renew obviously
As for WD40, well it isn't as though its immersed in the stuff, just a brief wipe to lessen friction. There is another site where
the guy says that Filmguard is basically WD40. I know it is was used by the professional cinemas, but all their films were destroyed after theirrun, so where is the proof of Filmguard being any better than WD40.
I can't prove to you Filmguard is better but it's been used for many, many years by professional cinemas and film collectors and proven itself to be a safe way to clean films. Why risk it with at least not testing first? I'm sure you can find a dealer where you're at for filmguard and it isn't toxic like other cleaners so you shouldn't have trouble importing it if you have to. I'm all for trying new things so that's why I said soak film strips in a jar of WD-40 and a jar of FG or other legitimate and proven film cleaners and at least see how the two affect the color dyes. After that you can start by testing lesser valuable films and see how they do in the long term. A while ago there was a company named Cinema Products International (CPI) who was selling knockoff Filmguard and costumers were complaining on how the cleaner was causing color dyes to smear on screen and causing a bubbling affect on the film. Could have been a bottle of WD-40 for all we know. I have a few cans of WD-40 and Filmguard and some other photographic film cleaner so maybe I'll do some tests on some scrap film that I have.
I also remember hearing about in another forum how in India some cinemas used oil to lubricate the film to prevent tearing from the bent metal reels they were using back then. The only problem they had in doing that I think were added dirt I think.
I see people trying WD-40 often so maybe hopefully someone who actually had experience with it will post.
I love Filmguard and since I began using it, I realized very early on that I would never need use any other film cleaner ever again.
My old Derann stock just sits on a shelf by and large now from one year to another.
See how everyone who uses Filmguard sounds like a salesman or cheap commercial? It's just THAT good! I'm willing to try out Vitafilm or others to treat twisty film (I know it doesn't "cure" it) but with my Christie film cleaner and 16mm I'll stick to FG for a standard cleaner/wax. Rubbing alcohol is OK to use for film spot cleaning, it's even recommended by Kodak but it can also dry out the base if you apply too much. I have some PEC-12 photo emulsion cleaner that I've used for slides and stuff but I haven't tried it on motion picture film yet. Might be good for cleaning tape residue.
Andrew you could sell the derann cleaner on e bay "Ultra rare" £99 Nothing to test it on.
I still love the smell of film in the morning

LoL David. Indeed!
I can understand that the pro cinema used this stuff,Filmguard, but like I said, it is only on the print for a short time before it is destroyed, also the price is prohibitive, I could buy 7 pints of FilmRenew (the USA gallon ) for much the same price before it was banned. Some collectors extolled the use of Thermofilm, which actually didn't have time to do anything except evaporate as soon as it touched the film, if ever there was a case of "the Emperors New Clothes", this was it, it used to be good, but it just became a very volatile expense.
The film was as dry as it was before use, any benefits were to the sellers of this rubbish.
Then we had the "pro" stuff called "Liquid Blue", that damaged some filmstocks and plastic spools, sold by Derann who should have known better. So for the present, WD40 does the job, its only a wipe to ease friction, I've used it on 16mm for a few years now and
so far no ill effects, it tidied a striped s/8 print okay, there are quite a lot of collectors using it still.

Findlay, OH (PressExposure) February 10, 2011 -- New Life Assembly of God in Findlay, Ohio, has launched a new website,www.discovernewlife.com. The site is designed primarily to assist people who are using the Internet to find a Findlay church.
"Our first website was created primarily as tool for members to learn about church activities and communicate with one another," explained Pastor Dutch VanderVlucht, New Life's pastor. "However, once we learned that the chief complaint of people searching for a church on the Internet is insufficient information for visitors, we decided to expand and retool our site."
In addition to providing information about New Life services, activities, and doctrine, the new website features a "New@New Life" page that tells people what to expect when they visit. There are also FAQs, a map, floor plan, a video message from Pastor VanderVlucht, and details about the church's mission, which is to help people discover and walk the pathway of new life in Jesus Christ. In the near future, website visitors will be able to listen to sermons live at 9 and 11 am on Sundays.
New Life was founded in Findlay in 1976 by a small group of dedicated Christians who wanted their children raised in a church free of gossip and interpersonal politics. Located at 3120 Norcrest Street, the church is affiliated with the Assemblies of God, a Pentecostal denomination headquartered in Springfield, Missouri. Nearly 900 people identify New Life as their church home.

- Main Article: Ryan Brigg's Wonder Meat
In this unmarked quest you meet Ryan Brigg in this metro station a long with his Raider friends. They are all hostile and will have to be killed.
Ryan Brigg successfully invented a new type of Mole Rat Meat, Mole Rat Wonder Meat (like said above), with his Wonder Meat Maker. The machine that makes the special meet can be found in the Jury St. Tunnels.
[edit] Notable Loot
- Items on the Raiders and Brigg.
- A work bench.
- Dean's Electronics, on the bench.
[edit] Notes
- There are 7 or 8 Raiders in the metro, but more are in the Jury St. Tunnels. The player should be cautious.

Photography For Babies, Children & Families Across Sussex
I offer wonderfully relaxed & natural photography experiences for babies, children & families.
All my family lifestyle sessions are fun and informal. I'm always looking to capture natural interactions between children and their parents whether you're having an adventure in the garden or having a quiet story time, reading snuggled together.
Your photographic session can take place around your home or at a favourite location like the park, woods or beach. If you are stuck for a location, don't worry as I have a number of beautiful places that I can recommend including the exclusive use of a tree lined long grass meadow. I've created this behind the scenes video from one of my family portrait sessions to give you an idea of what happens when we shoot on location.
Being a parent myself I understand that working to a schedule with young children & babies can get a bit tricky. I only book one family portrait session per day as it allows complete flexibility for your portrait session.
Enjoy the slideshow!
I hope I've inspired you with the images in the slide show. If you would like me to create a beautiful set for your own family I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch

Is an HSA Right for You?
President Proposes Sweetening Tax Incentives As More Companies Offer Latest Health Benefit
As President Bush moves to encourage growth in health savings accounts, more consumers may soon have to decide whether HSAs are the right option for them.
Mr. Bush is seeking a number of changes -- outlined in his State of the Union address this week -- meant to make HSAs more appealing. Among them: significantly increasing the amount of money people can deposit in their accounts each year, and offering tax incentives to people who get an HSA on their own, rather than through employee benefits. If these changes, which are expected...

#UCLABound ayeeeee das what's up! Haha, don't mind my improper my english :) If ya'll are UCLA students too, let me know! I'm going to be living on campus this coming fall and I would love to meet with you and become friends!
Now it's time to get to know me!
I also absolutely love playing the guitar. I like being able to recreate music to make it sound like my own. I'm also a singer. I love singing. I'm both tomboy and girly. It depends on how I feel on the day. I like wearing dresses and skirts but I also love playing sports and I can sometimes really act like a boy. I am also very random. Sometimes I sing some weird melody that pops into my head just because I'm bored. Or I would start dancing for no reason. I know... I'm weird.
Anyways, my favorite song changes almost everytime I hear another song that I like better than the old one. Right now it's If You Don't Know by 5 Seconds of Summer. My favorite bands/singers would have to be Paramore, 5 Seconds of Summer, He Is We, The Script, Hunter Hayes, Cassadee Pope, Avril Lavigne, Ed Sheeran, Andy Grammer, Bridgit Mendler, Christina Perri, Demi Lovato, and so many others. Music is a very huge part of my life. Without it, I am nothing.
And books make my world go round :D Without them, I am also nothing. I started writing about four years ago. October 7, 2009 to be exact. I've evolved since then. It's already four years and counting and I will be continuing to write for the rest of my life.
Back to music. Most of my story inspirations come from music that I hear. Hearing the story behind a song makes me think about stuff. So, yup. That's how I usually get my stories. I also get them from real life experiences and sometimes, they just pop up to me. Since we're talking about that... I hate it when I have so many story plotlines running in my head but I can't write them all! I try to focus on one story at a time. I've learned from previous mistakes that writing more than two stories at once can cause you to lose interest in one or the other. So, yeah :)

MILAN (AP) — An Italian doctor who has been working in Sierra Leone has tested positive for the Ebola virus and is being transferred to Rome for treatment, the health ministry said Monday. It is Italy's first confirmed case of Ebola.
The doctor, who was not identified and who works for the non-governmental organization Emergency, is scheduled to arrive overnight in Italy for treatment at the Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases in Rome.
Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin said in a statement that the doctor experienced a fever and other symptoms overnight, but he was well enough to eat breakfast and drink beverages. The ministry said all measures are being taken to ensure the safe transport of the patient following biohazard protocols.
Emergency, which is operating a center for Ebola treatment in Lakka, Sierra Leone, said in statement that the doctor was in good condition, and that its staff in the country is following protocols aimed at avoiding contagion. "Nonetheless, no health intervention of such a serious epidemic can be considered completely without risks," Emergency said.
It noted that the epidemic in Sierra Leone is continuing to spread, with more than 100 new cases a day for an official total of 5,000 people infected in the country — although the number could be much higher.

Distance with Playability
This is Callaway's first face cup in a forged players iron. They've taken their industry-leading Cup 360 technology that's redefined ball speed in fairway woods and irons, and precision engineered the face cup to give you consistent ball speed across the face in a forged Apex design.

Hello, I'm Susan Rossdale, and I am a print manufacturer, artistry professor, and the founder of Akua waterbased inks. I have developed two paths of Akua inks. One is Akua Intaglio, and the other is Akua Kolor. Today I will be working with Akua Intaglio. Akua Intaglio is established with artist point pigments and a soy based ring-binder. The soy petroleum affords it a feel of petroleum-based ink, whereas it cleans up with soap and water.
This unique formula offering dark, rich, coloring. Akua Intaglio can be used for calligraphy, monotype, solar plate, Intagliotype, wood block, and Lino slice. This is a print done by Scottish print manufacturer Hugh Bryden. It's a hard point. A hard end plate is made by scratching into a sheet of plastic with a sharp-worded tool. This is how it appears unless it is just printed black and white. This edition was printed with a combination of monotype techniques and hard point. I'd like to show you how it was made.
I ever start by putting gloves on to protect my hands from the ink, and Akua Intaglio never scalps or hardens, to be allowed to put your ink bayonet right in the jar and mix it up and remove some, and set it on your ink slab. It will not dry on the ink plate or the pot, so you never have hardened ink that has to be thrown away. This is a plastic squeegee that I'm going to use to applied the ink to the plate. You can almost hear the plastic grabbing the ink.
Now I'm going to start to lift the excess ink. And for the final wiping, I'll use a soft cloth. And wipe off the surface. The ink is catching on to the inside paths, and that is the field that will be printed, and that's it. I'm going to set this aside underneath the plastic, so when I get to do my colors, I'll know where to line up my monotype plate. This is a plastic sheet that I'll be using for applying the coloring.
This'll be our monotype plate that will be printed underneath the drypoint plate.First I'm going to use some coloring with a roller. Akua Intaglio rolls up beautifully right from the jar. And we'll roll the yellow-bellied in the following areas below. The more ink that's applied, the darker the coloring, so we'll give the field a nice pitch-dark yellow-bellied at the top, and a lighter yellow-bellied at the bottom. I'll apply the blood-red with a brush. It's a little too thick-skulled for brushwork, so I'm going to add a little bit of Akua Kolor blending medium. The mixing medium will tighten the ink, giving it a sweet, smooth brush stroke. Could use a slightly more blending medium.
I'm going to apply the blue, which I already added a little mixing medium too. I'll utilize the color with a sponge brush. Once I have the coloring on the plate, I'm going to be using a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe away the zones where I'd like for the lily-white of the paper to depict through. Mixing colors right on the pallet, or mingling colors right on the plate. Once I have the coloring down, then I can go into it with a fastening, or the back of a pencil, or a brush, and create linear marks. Q-tips work beautifully. Cut parts of cardboard all make really nice marks.
Areas can be patted to blend in and lighten up certain colors. Okay, one this is ready, I'm going to clean up my table, and prepare for printing. Akua Intaglio mops up so quickly I'm just using child mops or wet mops to remove the ink from the surface. I'm going to take away my hard point plate and established that aside. Now that I have the surface all cleaned up, I can remove my gloves, and get ready for printing. Monotypes print beautifully just by hand, so I'm going to write the first plate with my hands. You could use a bean or a spoon, but in this case, just the pressure of my hands I think will pick up enough ink from the plate onto the paper. Okay, perfect. I'll give this aside now, and we'll be prepared to print the drypoint plate on top of this. For the drypoint plate, I am going to use the inscribing press. For a quick, easy enrollment I'm going to set the plate on top of the print, and then flip it over. Okay, let's see how it appears. Perfect. Great answers, and now it's going to be so easy to clean up.

I love the piece so much! How well it works in my whimsical blue garden! I just did not know to depict the rabbit hole in the Alice in Wonderland area that this is the perfect conceptual representation. It is beautiful and whimsical. As I had to place it on a stump where a branch had been sawed, I hired a one skilled with a jigsaw to round the edges a bit for visual believability and, after attaching it to the stump, added tiny pieces of bark around the edge to help it blend with the stump. Great discovery!

Born 1976 in France, Jessica took interest in photography 20 years ago while working in a photo lab. She learned and experienced the technical aspects of photography with an old manual camera, and began processing black and white pictures at home. What she likes in photography is the power of stolen images, fleeting moments, the truthfulness of natural portraits and the emotion captured by her camera. She relies on her feelings, on the magic of moments, people, places to take her pictures.
