As a software engineer for Genability, I designed and built a suite of composable data visualization components in Angular and D3, enabling rapid creation of novel data visualization interfaces to Genability's API. The components allow code reuse across visualizations, and gracefully delegate responsibility - Angular is used for rendering, while D3 is used for scales and measurement.
As editor of Street Sheet I implemented a re-design of the newspaper and an advertising and media campaign to promote it. I co-wrote a succesful grant application, led a committee of seven people, worked with a designer to create a new logo and visual design, created an ad concept and wrote copy, gave media interviews and organized a succesful launch event.
As managing editor for the Spartan Daily, I lead a move from a proprietary CMS to an open source software stack, including conversion of 10 years of archives. I also co-lead a complete redesign and unification of user experience and brand identity across print and web properties
I was part of the award-winning team behind WeAllNeed, a journalism and mapping project created for the Great Urban hack in San Francisco.

On my 3rd pair of Freeform 360 jeans! They are by far THE BEST jeans ever created!!!!!! Easy to move in, so great to boogy on the dance floor, and even though they are stretchy they don't lose their shape! Please don't stop making these!!!
I love these jeans they are a great fit and are so comfortable!
I really liked them, they are distinct in material quality and flexibility. Keep up the great work guys!
Most comfortable jeans I own! I purchased the black Curve Embracer 7/8 hoping they would fit after putting on some weight recently. Not only do they fit perfectly, but the comfort is second to none. I've been a long time JW denim fan, and this style is amazing!

Monica Vernon has pulled the plug on her thought to take on mayoral candidate Ron Corbett and any other comers in this year's mayoral race.
District 2 council member Vernon, founder and president of Vernon Market Research, on Tuesday afternoon said running for mayor calls for a "huge commitment" at a time when she is heavily committed to her business in a down economy and to her City Council post a year into flood recovery.
"It's true that a lot of people have asked me to consider running for mayor, and I've spent some time exploring that," Vernon, 51, said. "However, I've concluded that I don't have the time to run my business, provide a high level of service as a council member and run for office."
Even so, Vernon sounded a little disheartened even as she was setting aside the thought of a mayoral run.
In truth, there has been something of a behind-the-scenes mayoral run going on for many weeks, with formidable prospects like Vernon — business owner, past chair of the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, past president of Junior League and past chairwoman of the City Planning Commission — trying to assess the political winds.
Linn County Supervisor Linda Langston, a Democrat, toyed with the idea of a mayoral run only to set the idea aside in recent days.
Gary Hinzman, one-time Cedar Rapids police chief and longtime head of the Sixth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services, also has been exploring a mayoral run in recent months, but it's unclear if he will run for the post.
The one candidate expected to take on Corbett now is council member Brian Fagan, a local attorney.
In the course of sorting out if she would or would not run for what is officially a non-partisan job of mayor, Vernon changed her political affiliation from Republican to Democrat.
In the end, Vernon on Tuesday said she concluded she is more interested in governing than in the politics of running for office.
She said, too, that she remains committed to making sure the council "can flex its muscle" and can be as strong "as it needs to be."
Announced mayoral candidate Ron Corbett — who was president/CEO of the Cedar Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce when Vernon was chairwoman of the Chamber's board of directors — had only good things to say about Vernon on Tuesday.
"Monica has certainly been a leader on the City Council and that will continue," said Corbett, vice president at trucking firm CRST Inc. "As a small business person her perspective has been extremely valuable. I hope I have a chance to work with her on the council next year."
Vernon's current council term runs through 2011.
She said she hasn't decided if she will support another candidate for mayor or not.

Hey, James here,
If your looking for a solution to fighting acne that actually works, then I'm glad you've found this website, and I hope you'll keep reading my story of struggling with this obnoxious problem.
Not interested in my personal experiences? You can just click here to see the program that has worked wonders for me.
Seeing as your at my website, I'm just going to assume that you are suffering from acne. I'm also going to guess that you already familiar with the fact that…
Acne Sucks!
I know how you feel! I remember the terrible and crushing feeling of knowing that my face is covered in zits. Scratching your face in class and having blood immediately start streaming down your cheeks really brings down the self-esteem.
I've been there, and for a long time too. Way too long.
I would give just about anything to go back and be able to show my pre-college self how to keep my face clear.
The Prescription Drugs Make Things Worse
I've dealt with acne for seven years and have been to 4 different dermatologists. I've been prescribed everything from tetracycline to accutane.
Accutane did help my acne for a while but its got some serious side effects that must be considered when using it for fighting acne.
Check out those symptoms on the right, looks like it could be worse than having acne, right? I consider myself lucky to have just had the "dry skin and itching part."
I mean seriously, this is straight from the FDA website:
"All patients treated with accutane should be observed closely for symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts, such as sad mood, irritability, acting on dangerous impulses, anger, loss of pleasure … mood disturbance, psychosis, or aggression."
Why take a chance on that?
For seven years I had been fighting acne using prescription and over the counter products. Sometimes they did eliminate the acne already apparent on my face, but would leave huge, itchy and ugly rashes.
I finally reached the point where I no longer wanted to take antibiotics, prescriptions or harsh chemicals… I was over it!
They didn't seem to do to much for me, had some pretty nasty side effects, and were hard to follow. I was tired of my face always feeling dried out and flaky.
Searching for Something Better
I finally cut off all of my prescription products that I had been using unsuccessfully for the years. I began the search for a more effective, gentle and natural solution for fighting acne. Acne No More is the system that I consider myself lucky to have found.
This is a complete program that addresses all of the underlying causes of acne, you won't find a quick fix here. And let me tell you a quick fix does not exist! Believe me, I tried one of the "quick cures" thats out there, 'acne free in 3 days.'
I'll just go ahead and give you the acne free in 3 days "system"
- Eat nothing but apples for 3 Days
- Give yourself an enema every day (gross)
- Drink 2 ounces of grape juice on the third day
I laughed when I read that part. Even if it did work, which it didn't, are you just supposed to do that every couple weeks? Ridiculous.
Fortunately, you wont find anything like that in Acne No More.
You will learn to practically and systematically approach the condition from the inside. Instead of, as I had done for years, relying on all kinds of prescription chemicals to attempt to treat the external symptoms.
The book is quite extensive, weighing in at 223 pages! A large portion of this is a detailed account of all the underlying causes of acne.
You could just skip to the step-by-step method if you want to. Which, by the way, are divided into 5 sections, each complete with checklists so you don't forget anything.
I hope you found this information useful and that it helps you enjoy more years of being acne free. It's a great feeling!

I have got the photo from the Internet (where else?), no idea where this placard was used originally.
But that doesn't really matter. What matters is what's written on it.
Whilst we Dutchies have won yet another 5 medals for ice skating yesterday, the news brings me images of a burning Kiev. The contrast couldn't be any greater.
I wish we could take that placard and hang it up, high in the sky, above our poor, stricken, confused, fucked up world.
And mean it.
Whatever religion you bow to, I'm certain that somewhere in your holy books there is a line which goes something like this: treat others how you would like to be treated yourself.
I would like to add this: treat others with kindness.
It's very fashionable to be mindful, over here in the West. Hence the title of this post.
But how can you be mindful, happy, fulfilled, content, when there is a lack of kindness in your life? Or, to turn it around: how can you NOT be kind to others and yet expect to be happy?
So, I'd like to amend the title:
Kindness is not a state of being for wusses - it's a way of life
Right. Frightfully righteous lecture over. Next time I'll post something comfortable again, I promise!
I'll leave you with a link. Lyn Collins - Think (about it) :-)

Using a Breadboard
A breadboard is a plastic board with holes in it that we can push wires and component legs into in order to connect them together and build a circuit without using a soldering iron. This makes breadboards very hand when we are prototyping and trying out ideas or just mucking about and experimenting. We can easily pull cables and components back out of the holes and reconfigure our circuit as we please.
The images above show how the holes are connected together under the surface of the breadboard. The yellow lines show holes connected together, and the red and black lines show holes that are connected together and usually used for power / positive voltage (red) and ground / zero voltage (black).
As a quick intro to using the breadboard and here is a quick project simply powering an LED with a 9V battery.
- an LED
- a 9v Battery and battery clip
- a breadboard
- some wires / breadboard jumpers (jumpers have stiff metal cores that are easier to push into the breadboard)
- a resistor (i brought a 220ohm and a 1kohm in case we sant to play it extra safe.
First connect the red and black leads of the battery clip to the power and ground "rails" of the breadboard:
Then, using two jumper cables we can connect the power rails to to rows on the middle of the breadboard.
Now lets connect one leg of our current limiting resistor to one of the other holes on the same row as we connected our power rail. Look at the pictures at the top of the page showing how the holes are connected inside the breadboard f you are confused.
Now its time to connect the LED. If you have allready read the section on LEDs then you might remember that its important to connect it the right way around. The current wants to flow from the long leg to the short leg- So we connect the long leg to the other end of our current limiting resistor, and the short leg to one of the holes in the same row as we connected ground earlier.
Now once we connect our 9V battery to the battery clip, the LED should light up.
If not, check all the connectrions again before you stat crying.
PS, if we for some weird reason hate breadboards, we can make the same circuit with crocodile clips:
clicky clicky for big piccy.

Pasadena family accuses school officer of 'brutal and excessive' beating
Parents claim excessive force used against son by school police officer
Cesar Suquet went to the principal's office at his Pasadena high school with a simple request: He wanted teachers to return the cellphone they had confiscated earlier in the day.
After an argument in the office, Cesar, then a 16-year-old sophomore, uttered a profanity in the hallway, was arrested and struck 18 times with a metal nightstick by a school police officer, including nine blows while he was on the ground, recorded on school security cameras.
The incident - described in a $1 million civil rights lawsuit filed Wednesday - is not the only one in which a Pasadena Independent School District officer used force against a student.
In May 2012, another Pasadena ISD officer shot an unarmed eighth-grader in the chest as he fled a school building in what the district described as a midnight burglary attempt. The 14-year-old, who survived, was shot after being ordered to stop. A Harris County grand jury declined to bring criminal charges, records show.
Pasadena school police have used force 129 times since 2012, drawing and pointing their firearms 24 times, and using pepper spray twice, according to statistics released to the Houston Chronicle. They have used nightsticks four times, with three of those incidents involving Michael Y'Barbo, the officer who struck Cesar.
Y'Barbo and the Pasadena ISD were sued in U.S. District Court by the student's parents, who contend their son was "a victim of a brutal and excessive police beating." The Suquets allege school police didn't properly supervise or train Y'Barbo, and are seeking reimbursement for the ongoing medical and psychological treatment their son is receiving.
District officials said Thursday that they had not seen the suit and would not comment.
They had previously stood behind Y'Barbo's actions, but declined to say how many times an officer is allowed to strike a student with a nightstick before trying other tactics to make an arrest.
"Based on what's in this report, the officer used the amount of force he thought appropriate to respond to noncompliance," said Renea Ivy, associate superintendent of communication and community relations, in an interview before the lawsuit was filed.
Licensing requirements
Many of the largest school districts in the Houston area, and across Texas, have their own police departments. The Houston Independent School District has about 200 officers, and other local districts with their own departments include the Katy ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, and Pasadena ISD, with about 35 officers.
In Texas, school police officers are required to be licensed by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, and new recruits must attend a state-approved police academy before they can be hired. Officer Y'Barbo's 14-year law enforcement career began with the Deer Park police department. At the time he arrested and struck Cesar, he had undergone 2,640 hours of state-approved training, according to the IAD report.
The beating took place after Cesar had argued loudly and persistently to get his cellphone back and was told to leave the office or face arrest for trespassing.
As an assistant principal and a police officer escorted him down the hall toward the front doors of South Houston High, Cesar uttered a single profanity.
The officer told the student he was under arrest, and attempted to handcuff him. Cesar, who claimed he never heard the command, said his hand was grabbed from behind and he turned to see the officer swing the nightstick.
The officer arrested him for disorderly conduct, although other school employees said the teen had not demonstrated any physical aggression. Photographs taken by his parents that night document cuts, bruises and swelling on the back of the boy's arms, legs, elbow and neck.
"It hurt, it hurt to the point that I couldn't feel it anymore," said Cesar, who still complains of limited arm movement from blows to his elbow. "I mean he wasn't gonna stop, and I was getting ready for the worst - I didn't know what was going to happen.''
His parents say they brought suit because the school district's in-house investigation cleared the officer of using excessive force and found that the May 29, 2014, arrest, as well as the repeated blows, were lawful.
The family is represented by attorney Mark Montgomery, a Houston Police Department veteran whose 25 years on the force included assignments in internal affairs and on the legal staff. Montgomery doesn't believe school police should have found Y'Barbo's use of force justified.
The attorney said the police IA investigation confirmed Cesar did not threaten or advance on staff or the officer, and noted that he was struck after complying with the officer's order to lie on the ground.
"For you to take your nightstick out and start whacking on a 16-year-old kid is just offensive to me, and to continue to whack on him when he was down," he said.
Montgomery characterized as "overkill" the officer's decision to immediately deploy a nightstick instead of pepper spray or other tactics to make an arrest.
"You don't start out with a lethal weapon, and that's what a baton is," Montgomery said.
Involved in earlier incidents
Y'Barbo also used his nightstick against two other students, in 2012 and 2013, but no details were provided in the internal affairs investigation. He did not return a call for comment.
"When I sent my son to school, I expected them to keep him safe," said Cesar's mother, Guadalupe Suquet. "I never expected he would be attacked by someone who was supposed to be keeping him safe."
The internal affairs investigation determined the officer failed to arrange for medical treatment, despite telling Cesar's parents that he had been examined by the school nurse.
Ivy said the officer had assumed the school nurse had examined the teen, and the district now requires officers to directly meet with medical staff to describe injuries a student receives.
Concern over concussion
Guadalupe Suquet, who teaches kindergarten at Williams Elementary in the Pasadena district, said that while her son was wrong to use bad language, she had heard that profanity - and worse - from students at school. But violence against a student shouldn't be permitted, she said.
She also is concerned that neither district police nor administrators, when they called to say her son had been detained, informed the family that he had been hit repeatedly with a baton. That evening, after seeing that the baton had caused lacerations severe enough to draw blood, they took their son for treatment at a medical facility.
"I don't want this to be hidden," Guadalupe Suquet said. "I want them to take this matter seriously and for parents who send their kids to school to be sure they're safe there, at least from their officers at the school."
Cesar's parents worried that the officer's blows to their son's neck could have aggravated a concussion he suffered two weeks earlier. Their doctor had notified the school in a May 15th letter that Cesar was recovering from a mild to moderate concussion, could not attend football practice, and asked that the boy be given special consideration because he was having difficulty understanding and following commands.
"My first reaction was this wasn't only a punishment, that he was trying to kill him," Cesar's mother recalled.
The Use of Force Policy followed by the Harris County Sheriff's Office, adopted from nationwide standards set by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, allows officers to use their batons only in certain situations.
"Deliberate strikes to the head, neck, throat, clavicle, groin and joints shall be considered deadly force and will only be used in response to overt, physical force where the subject is assaulting the Deputy or another person with a weapon, and/or uses techniques or objects which could result in death or great bodily harm to the confronting Deputy or another person," the HCSO policy states.
Beating 'an extreme reaction'
Pasadena ISD has no policy that addresses the use of batons, their internal affairs investigation noted, but the department's Use of Force policy states "an officer shall use only that force that is reasonably necessary to effectively bring an incident under control …" The internal affairs investigation included only one other interview with a student, who stated he saw Y'Barbo striking Cesar on the shoulders as he lay on the hallway floor.
"Y'Barbo stated he continued to strike until he felt Suquet was no longer a threat," according to the internal affairs report by Detective Trae Morris, who reviewed the surveillance video and counted 18 strikes, including half that appeared to hit Cesar while he was down.
Morris noted that Y'Barbo told him that he interpreted the teen's "vacant stare" during the encounter as a sign "it might be internal thought process contemplating an attack."
Today, Guadalupe Suquet still can't understand how the school district's officials can condone the force used on Cesar.
"My son never retaliated or acted in a violent manner; what he went through was an extreme reaction to a minor offense," she said. "I would expect him to get detention, not gotten beaten up for it."

Shawna and Caesey are getting married next year in Christina Lake, on an organic blueberry farm where Caesey's mom also raises standard poodles. FUN. I love standard poodles. They are like mini horses, and they rally for a spot on my favourite things list above actual horses (but just below real mini horses). And blueberries are my favourite fruit. Let me also point out that my photography requires couples who have a certain sense of adventure. Shawna raised the bar and did this mostly in her bare feet. They even walked in Devil's Club. And it is looking gnarly this year.
The fact that this is going to be a super wedding was further solidified when Riggs, Shawna's awesome dog who joined us on the engagement session, took a bullet for me. Not an actual bullet, but a striped flying one. I like to think Riggs ate some oncoming wasps on purpose, because I am allergic to the wretched things and he wanted to save me.
Thank you for finding each other, Shawna and Caesey. Please give Riggs a hug for me.

So, I apparently took a long, unintended hiatus from this blog. I wish I could say it was because we magically got pregnant. We did not.
In fact, I'm feeling pretty darn hopeless. But, in an effort to keep myself going, I'm posting this update. If anyone is still reading!
1) We got a few results from the RE. It's likely a combination of things – the tube blockage (he thinks it's about 80% likely that it's real), mild PCOS (mostly physical symptoms, my bloodwork was either normal or on the higher end of normal), and potentially some kind of polyp/fibroid. He couldn't get a good look with the saline sonogram he did in August, and then we got busy and then it turns out we're changing REs. I expect that a new RE will look through the bloodwork, and hopefully actually give us some steps forward.
2) I got a job. While this means we have more money to pay for treatment, it has also made actually starting treatment harder. Added to this, my RE did a couple of things that my DH, in particular, was not happy with, so we're looking for a new doctor. My insurance from work kicks in in January, so once that happens we'll do more.
3) I switched acupuncturists. I found one through a friend who works more specifically with women and women's issues, and it seems to be helping. She, in particular, thinks it might be an issue with my thyroid so I've been taking some vitamins specifically for that. We'll see how it goes, but they seem to be helping at least a little bit. I also have gone about 99.9% gluten free and about 90% dairy free. It seems to be helping me feel better, if nothing else.
4) I started going to a therapist. I needed someone to talk to about all of this crap plus other crap going on that isn't related to this. It's been good so far, after about five or six weeks, so I'm going to keep going until we either decide that it's not helping or I'm okay in my life without it.
5) Thanksgiving was great in some ways, and really rough in others. Mostly, it was the social media effect – everyone posting about "baby's first Thanksgiving" or "baby's first Hanukkah" or "it's my due date!" (seriously, two friends were due on Thanksgiving!) So it's been rough. I try not to dwell, but it's hard – I know it's cliche to be depressed by social media. But seriously, people.
6) Hopeful for a new year. I'd love a 2014 baby. Really, truly. Please.

"Hogan is a tool that is easy to understand, well applicable, and more equitable than other methods in terms of a person´s individuality. It should be emphasized that Hogan not only captures identity, but also reputation: how am I likely to be perceived by others in calm and tense times? This has a high relevance for the increasing rate of change in companies. Overall, the Hogan provides a very good basis for providing practical advice to executives.
The certification by René Kusch was conducted in a very sound and practical way. The examples were very catchy and repeatedly referred to current topics of Generali in Germany, so that we were well prepared for the Hogan use in everyday life. My team and I are enthusiastic about Hogan and RELEVANT and would recommend him at any time."

As with any of my stories, this one will likely be long. No detail spared. My last post mentioned an airbrush job that i was working on that required re-doing because the frisket mask i used had left adhesive residue on, around and under the freshly applied paints. Removing the residue effectively meant starting over; which thankfully was ok with the customer. I started by doing a ridiculously thorough cleaning job on the airbrush, and starting fresh with all new materials. New frisket, new paints, new exactos, new stabillos, and new stencil material. It's quite difficult to find opaque frisket... which would have been really helpful since the base color of the fender i was working on is black. I did not find any and i made a lot of trips to look. What i ended up using was a matte clear frisket. The idea of using an opaque masking material is so that you can transfer the design easily to the mask, then transfer the mask to the painted surface. Like drawing on paper, then using that drawing as your mask. The black just just made it challenging- not impossible. So instead, i taped the drawing i did onto a table, then taped a piece of wax paper over top that (since it's fairly transparent), then took a sheet of frisket off it's backing and applied it to the wax paper. This way i could see the drawing thru everything. Next step is to trace out the millions of lines... and the more accurate, the better. The best thing to use for this is either a white/red Stabillo Pencil, or a white/red Sharpie Mark All Pencil. I used red because the contrast was easier to read then the white (found this out by testing it several times). Also i misted a light coat of rattle can fixative to the frisket so that the lines would not smear. Next step was to position the mask where it would stay for the remainder of the process. It's low tack, so repositioning it is simple enough. What was difficult was getting the mask to conform to as many of the contours as the fender had. It didn't really conform, but i decided that since i was only working on one section at a time, i could address each area or re mask each area as needed. All this work and i haven't even got to mixing color yet! Once the mask is layed out, each piece can be cut from it individually. I try to work top - down, or in pairs (no pun intended). For example, i did the gloves together, the arm and leg together, the wings together... this ensures that the tonality will come out close to the other. Especially difficult when pieces are done individually, but it works. Working from dark to light is also a little different, but i like it better since it allows you to build up color slowly. I started by shading from black up to gray (using opaque gray) in areas that were going to be lighter, then switched to white and followed the gray as a guide. Using gray also helps transition from dark to light rather then relying on the transparency of the white since it white itself will quickly and accidentally become to strong. Later the shadowed areas would be hit with a transparent black. Many many parts and pieces make up just the knight guy... the shoe alone is made up of about 30 stenciled sections. Once he was done, i got started on the snakey dude. First i lightly dusted the entire thing with gray so that i could come back in with a pencil and draw out all the scales. Although faint, i used them as a guide to color all the scales first with gray then highlighting the necessary ones with white. Once that was all done, that side of the design was covered and the lady part cut out. I also cut out a set of acetate stencils for the lady part since i didn't want to shade her like i had with the knight guy. The acetate stencils served as free hand stencils as opposed to masked out pieces. This would allow for a softer transition from part to part instead of trying to paint her like a robot. I'm still new to a lot of this so don't judge too harshly... i understand that with practice i will hopefully be better at doing people, faces, and portraits, but this is what I'm capable of at this moment. I'm not saying it's the best, but i don't think it's bad either. The theme was 'fantasy', so i think that gave me a little more space to practice without having to be photo exact. Making form and skin out of shades of gray is a little challenging as well... i can already see where i would do some things different in the future. And that's how we learn, right? By doing. Once the lady was all shaded up, next i did the details of the face. Mind you that the face is the size of a nickel. I don't find it entirely necessary to do everything with an airbrush- so the eyes, lips and hair were all done using a paint brush. This certainly adds to sharpness (a little too much sometimes) but makes the application of small things a whole lot easier. Each strand of hair was done individually with a paint brush... first with gray, then white, then shaded with a little transparent black, then white again in a few spots (using an airbrush to offset clarity). The original concept called for her to have blonde hair, but after everything was applied i thought that that would be the thing that would divide this picture. Keeping everything in the black-gray-white realm really holds the fantasy feel, i think. Especially since the effect of transparent white over black gives you a slight blue hue. Once the entire thing was unmasked, i went back and added highlights to some of the metal surfaces as well as softening the feathers in the wings. Since my deadline was this morning and i was just finishing up, i didn't want to get too carried away... but i think i could have worked on this piece another full day and really gotten more out of it. I really like the way it came out tho eventually we have to stop and go 'ok, were good'. Last but not least is the signature under the snake and then bam, it's done. It was a 3 day bam tho. With little sleep. Ohhhh sooo mush typing... and it's not over. I would also like to mention that i used a different kind of paint for this piece and i highly recommend it. I have found that with automotive basecoats when you go back in to do another layer of shading on a previously worked area and you mask it off you will pull the most recent layer off the previous one. Scuffing in between layers is out of the question since your barely putting any paint down anyways.... adhesion promoters work, but will help build the edge on your graphic. I found both these to be problems on the 1st attempt at doing this piece. The 2nd time around i bought Golden brand Fluid Acrylics along with the same brand Airbrush Medium and Transparent Extender. This stuff works great- very sprayable, the colors are great, and they are very permanent. Acrylics are usually water based, but when dry they cannot be reversed with water (like basecoat with reducer). Acrylics dry with a shell to them rendering them quite durable for masking and remasking. They also adhere very very well to themselves in multiple layers even after dry for a few days with NO unmasking problems at all. The tendency to use water to dilute acrylics is where you run into problems. The paint is designed with color and adhesion in mind... like anything else when you add water to it, you dilute its' properties thus effecting it's adhesion and vibrance. I spent a lot of time researching the product before i committed to it and in that found that using the Medium and Extender allowed for proper sprayability and adhesion without any sacrafices. This stuff works great and the line of colors are excellent. I will definitly be using them again.
Well that's enough blah blah blah for one day!
Now ask me why a knight has wings, is killing an anacanda and is staring at a naked chick next to him... where did her cloths go anyways?
Pics: The first 2 are finished pics before clear, the 3rd is part way thru the knight, the 4th is part way thru the first time around (so you can see the mess of stencils and tape), the 5th is the drawing i did to work from.

We had a great time in P-Town (local speak for Provincetown) today! It's a great place – friendly people, lots of eclectic, unique shops, various restaurants, beautiful views. It is definitely a walking town with lots of locals and tourists – we enjoyed visiting a variety of stores and had a nice lunch at The Lobster Pot – Brad enjoyed some yummy New England Clam Chowdah!
Trivia question ~ Where did the Pilgrims first land when arriving to the New World? Provincetown! Yup - P-Town first, then Eastham, then Plymouth Rock where they finally settled.
And where else can you get your photo taken between two orange bears wearing tool belts?
Easy and affordable - no matter where you are!

Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) claims that US consumer is under buying so they are under-performing. You see it's the IRS's fault. Tax returns are not as big as expected so the consumer is not spending.
Really. Wal-Mart it's a coincidence that the interim head of the IRS had to resign because of over zealous treatment of Tea Party tax status. So when Q1 comes out flat blame the tax man.
Hope investors forget that there are huge markets besides the US. Whats happening there. Hope investors forget that Macy's seems to be on the rebound. Hope investors forget that the US economy has been on shaky ground since 2008.
What we are probably seeing is the end of Wal-Marts simplistic business model. Cut throat price slashing. The consumer who can only show up if the price is very low is tapped out. There are no other reasons to shop at Wal-Mart other than low price.
Wal-Mart branding is 200% cheap price and no other business input. Other retailers have not followed to the same extent as they felt they had something to offer. Service, selection, shopping experience.
Yes Wal-Mart obliterated many traditional competitors. But that play is coming to an end. This may be the high water mark for Wal-Mart. Anyone in business realizes your customers need a capacity to pay. Otherwise they are not customers.
George Gutowski writes from a caveat emptor perspective.

In the meantime in
about:config you can set
media.autoplay.enabled to
false which seems to work for this site, I guess it may not always be effective, but well :)
Reminds me of ProgressQuest.
Someone on HN pointed out:
This is basically a pay-to-win game simplified down to the leaderboard.
I (and obviously also the author of the page) like this categorization ;)
I'm glad I never got into this game. It's really disappointing to see how much I see my friends spend on it.
Why is this here?
This is just a leaderboard of disposable income, and probably isn't very interesting from a tech standpoint.
You can put your site link on the page, so it's actually auctioned advertising disguised as a game.
Ah, so now we're a clearinghouse for marketing hacks? :|
EDIT: Thank you for your elaboration, though. Didn't mean to come off as a crank.
That said, anybody have any goatse mirrors and about a few hundred to spare? No reason. <_<

hi, am currently working on a hack for the rs media to make it voice controlled, phone controlled, bluetooth controlled, and wifi controlled. ( making the remotes a bit usless )
you need a raspberry Pi ( £ 30 )
sound card ( £ 5 ) ( for the mic, )
optional usb to serial converter ( RS V1s , V2s may be doable differently )
BT modual ( £ 1 ) ( pound shop special
wifi dongle ( 10 ) optional extras for fun IR dongle ( or build one from the PI GP0s, ( easy enough ) .
We have it all tested ( individualy ) working, althoug i have not wired up the internal mic yet, using a spare. we have looked atr 2 voice options, one online, one offline. both are functional, but the online one, does not need any training and is very accurate, and easy to set up, the offline one is a bit more trick to set up, but it works. offline, you can command the robots movments, fuctions and any sensors/triggers, allows yo uyto play songs ect.
The online one uses the net as a brain ( google servers ) and is outsandingly good and understanding questions. even the most oddest of questions, anything it interprits as math or sience, it asked wolf=alpha, ( its not allowed to be switched on whiles my daughter does her homework )
Still to do, power the PI direct from Bot, ( very easy ) trying to interface the camera and sensors from head, directly to PI ( i may replace the cam to make it easyer, but it should only cost £ 10.
battery charging ( near field charging if possible, if not a charge circuit ) Scratch interface for the PI, for macro and bodycons
chatterbots, ( OMG, scary, 2 rs medias, different CBs, you just mention religion, they start arguing, its funny but a bit freeky, ) For rs media V1s, you will have to do the serial hack, for v2s, there may be another, none hacky way to do it.
some usage examples
Me "hello robot" ----Robot realises am talking to it, not asking a question or movment command,
---- Robot uses track human to locate you ( easyer than the DIR mics in the head )
Robot responds " Hello ", and waves its arm ( only first time you say hello it waves ) Example
2 Questions
me " robot, question, how far away it the moon "
------ robot looks up wolf-google-wiki,
Robot responds " approximatly 240,000 km , would you like further details ? "
----- robot looks at what devices it can connect to, TV, Tablet phone, and will send it if asked. With the IR dongle, it can switch the devices on first.
Lots of ideas, not lots of time, always the same with projects like this.
My current task, set by my daughter, get both rsms doing a version of Daft Punk, better harder faster stronger. On youtuble, the term Daft fingers, or daft bodies, gives yo uyan idea of what she expects,

How to Tell if Your Bird Needs a Vet
"Polly want a doctor?"
As intelligent as birds can be, there's little chance that your pet parrot or other breed will be able to answer that question. When it comes to pets, you need to look to their appearance and behavior to determine if they're having a health problem. Read on to learn about common symptoms that your bird needs an experienced exotic pet vet.
Is Your Bird Off His Feed?
Lack of appetite is probably the number one sign of sickness with any pet, so when a bird stops eating, it's time for concern. You can tell if it's more than just your bird being picky by offering a favorite treat. If he or she still turns up their beak, a checkup is in order. Any bird that stops drinking water needs immediate medical attention.
Is Your Bird More Moody Than Normal?
Birds can be squawky and particular even when they're feeling well. If you're annoying them and they want to be left alone, they'll have no problem showing you that you need to back off. However, if they become extremely aggressive or seem overly agitated, it may be a signal that they're in distress. This can also be a sign of hormone fluctuations of you have males or a breeding pair, but it's better to have your bird seen just to be sure it isn't something more serious.
Is Your Bird Less Active Than Usual?
Birds are flighty to say the least. Occasionally, they'll become less active and look kind of raggedy when they're molting. But, when you notice that your bird seems tired, if he or she isn't hopping around their cage or singing, it's a sign that they're not feeling well. It's especially important to get immediately medical attention if you find them lying on the bottom of the cage or nest, or if they cling to their perch even after prodding.
Do You Notice Signs of Favoring or Protecting Certain Body Parts?
It's easy for birds to become injured even in the relative safety of their cage or enclosure. Although many birds have an ingrained habit of masking symptoms of injury to discourage predators in the wild, favoring one leg or wing over the other is a definite sign of trouble. Does your bird shy away or nip you if you try to pick them up or approach them? That's another potential sign that they're in pain.
Is Polly as Bright-Eyed as Usual?
You'll often notice your bird sitting with it's eyes closed, just chilling. But, if they are constantly squinting or keeping their eyes closed, it's a symptom of a sick bird. This is especially true in combination with other symptoms like lethargy and lack of appetite.
Sudden Lose of Plumage or a "Rumpled" Appearance
It's normal for a bird to slow down a little and look kind of ragged just before molting. But, if it isn't his regular molting season or you notice feather picking and bald patches, this can be a sign of distress. Common causes are skin irritations, mites or anxiety.
The Importance of Regular Checkups
Most 'traditional" pet owners know that puppies and kittens need vaccinations and annual checkups. But exotic pet owners are often clueless about preventative health care for their birds, fish and reptiles. Usually, they only look for an exotic vet vet when they notice signs of sickness or injuries. Before purchasing any exotic animal, learn about proper care and health maintenance. Many species require specific environments and room conditions to stay healthy and active. Once you bring your pet home, make an appointment for a first checkup with a vet who has experience treating birds.
Bird health can be very fragile. In addition to regular well animal checks, you can help maintain your pet's health with good nutrition. Plenty of water and a seed mixture that's formulated for your breed are a good start. You can also visit Vet Products Direct for supplements for birds to round off your care regimen.
