You must be registered for see linksbefore making a submission.
±±Custom Element Techniques±±
Once you have an approved Custom Element (which is submitted and checked in
You must be registered for see links), you can make techniques for that element and submit them here to be checked.
±± How to submit a Custom Technique? ±±
1. Step One: Pick the Name and Japanese Translation. Use this
You must be registered for see linksto help you. Be sure to name the techniques correctly by stating the skill/element/area to which the technique belongs. Don't use Japanese in Kanji form; use standard Romanji instead.
2. Step Two: Chose the type of your Custom Technique.
3. Step Three: Rank The Jutsu According to Power and Effects.
4. Step Four: Put a Range in your Jutsu.
Short Range
Mid Range
Long Range
5. Step Five: Fill in the correct Chakra and Damage points for the rank of the technique
E Rank: 05 Chakra / 10 Damage
D Rank: 10 Chakra / 20 Damage
C Rank: 15 Chakra / 30 Damage
B Rank: 20 Chakra / 40 Damage
A Rank: 30 Chakra / 60 Damage
S Rank: 40 Chakra / 80 Damage
Forbidden: 50 Chakra / 90 Damage
Note: In certain types of techniques, some of the fields (either Damage or Chakra) may not be required to fill, like with the damage of a defensive technique . If that is the case simply put N/A (Non-Aplicable).
6. Step Six: Describe the Jutsu.
Make a brief description of your jutsu and its effects. Don't forget to make it clear and understandable by using proper grammar. Keep it simple and clean. Also, you are required to make a logical explanation of how you achieve the effect of the jutsu. For example, if you have a technique that states "can detect enemy's location" you are required to explain how that is achieved.
7. Step Seven: Resctritions.
Add any restrictions that are deemed necessary for the rank of the technique and its correct use. Usage limit, duration limit, etc. Don't forget to make it logical and simply don't add restrictions in an attempt to make your technique more approvable. Restrictions won't change the fact that your technique may be OverPowered. In terms of logic, it pertains to the correct comprehension of the RP and its skills. For example, a high rank Lava technique would affect your use of Lava and to a minor extent, Fire and Earth but it wouldn't affect your use of Water.
8. Step Eight: Post and Wait for Approval!
±± Template for Custom Techniques ±±
±±Formatting Restrictions±±
-No submission that uses font or formatting alterations such as underline, bold, allignement, color, size, spoilers, etc will be checked. The only exception is that you are allowed to Bold or underline the title of each technique you submitt and you can use spoilers for videos or images you need to post for references.
-An exception to the above rule is the requirement to bold the alterations on re-submissions. Its required that every altered or add part is bolded. If you simply take out something, write beneath the jutsu stating "I took out the part where...".
-When resubmitting a custom that was previously declined, you need to quote the original submission and bold the parts you changed in your new submission.
±±Declined, Do Not Resubmit±±-When one of your techniques was declined with a "Do Not Resubmit" note, you can't resubmit that technique without the permission of the Staff member who checked that technique.
±±Submissions and Amount of Customs±±
-Only the Creator of the Custom Element can submit techniques for it. In case the Creator becomes inactive for an extended period of time, the Co-Creator can contact the RP Administrator and ask to take over the submissions.
-You can submit up to 12 custom element techniques for each element you own.
-You can submit 4 custom element jutsu per cycle in total, this goes for all your c.e cj as a total. For example, 3 jutsu for element X and 1 jutsu for element Y.
-You may only make one post per cycle
-Each cycle will last for two weeks. Customs may be checked while the cycle is ongoing, so on make your submissions when they are ready. You will no longer be able to edit once a moderator has checked your customs.
±±Custom Jutsu Users±±
-Once you get your custom techniques approved you are required to post them in your own custom jutsu thread in the
You must be registered for see links
-You are required to post every jutsu you made and all jutsu that others allow you to use.
-Each and everyone of your custom techniques posted in your thread needs to be numbered(from #1 to #12) for each of your own Custom Elements.
-When posting your technique, you are required to post the link to the techniques approval, by copying the link to the individual post in which the technique was approved.
-You are forbidden to use any custom technique that isn't posted in your own custom jutsu thread.
-The custom jutsu thread is your responsibility and its your duty to keep it up to date, clean and complete.
-"Markers", or empty posts (with no actual custom jutsu being submitted) created for the sole purpose of being edited later on, are strictly forbidden and shall be considered as nothing more than spam.
-Any post that does not contain a custom technique submission is considered spam and thereby falls under the violation of the
You must be registered for see linksof Narutobase.
-Posting a technique that has requirements such as bios or tests and that are pending approval or verification is considered posting a marker. When you post a technique you are required to make sure you fulfill all the conditions needed to do so. That includes training, bios, permissions, etc. Posting them ahead of having the requirements to do so to get your submission checked faster is considered posting a marker and is punishable.
±±Ripping and Copying±±
-You cannot copy or bluntly base your submissions in another members submission without his or hers permission. This is strictly forbidden and is a severe offense.
-If you find a submission that you feel is too much like yours or that is clearly and bluntly a copy of any of yours, please contact one of the RP mods with the link to your technique and the one that supposedly copies yours.
-The RP Mods may require you to prove you have traded a given jutsu. Be sure you can provide such proof if required.
-No one is allowed to edit his/her post after a moderator has already edited it. Resubmit if you feel that your technique needs to be altered in some way.
±±Alternate Accounts±±
-You are hereby forbidden to submit techniques from your alternate accounts in the same cycle you submit techniques with your main account.
-You cannot exchange techniques between your accounts, allowing techniques from your main on your alternate account and vice-versa, bypassing the limit for custom techniques.
-Failure to abide these rules may lead to infraction and in some cases, to a temporary/permanent ban of your alternate or main accounts from the RolePlay.
±±The Red Rule±±-The red rule exists and you should check it if you don't know what it is. Bugging any RP mod regarding CJs that were declined and to which you weren't required to contact the given mod, is breaking said rule. The techniques are declined for a reason which is most of the times explained even if we are not required to do so. This is never respected but I urge you to start taking this seriously.
±±The Blue Rule±±-You aren't allowed to direct us into how to check your customs or tell us to make edits on the submissions to make them approvable. Also, providing expressions like "I talked to X senior sensei and he said its possible" or any variation of such expressions is forbidden. Adding explanations outside the technique's description (or, by that matter, any expression or sentence directed at us) is also forbidden. Anything you wish to explain you need to do so in the technique itself, using the correct template, as it needs to be perfectly understandable by anyone if its to be approved. The necessity to explain or justify things outside of it renders such premise invalid and thus makes the technique unapprovable.
-NB's moderators have every right to deny any move we wish without true explanation, because some techniques submitted do not reach a certain criteria that we feel should be accepted. Please do not complain, please do not argue, just take it as it is and please move on by creating something else. Most Jutsus however will state a reason why a technique or custom will not be accepted.

1/5/2015 - UPDATE!!!!!I've learned a lot more about the elusive William Green since writing about him in 2009, but today has been a banner day because I've positively identified a PICTURE of William! Here he is!
|Sargent William Adam Green
(October 1874 - February 21, 1940)
Yesterday, I returned to the home of my cousin, H, in Louisburg, NC, where this picture, along with several others of the white-looking ancestral members of my family, hangs in a private room, which few people even know about. I convinced my aged and ailing cousin to allow me to go back into the room (escorted by his wife) to compare a picture of another mystery ancestor, to a baby picture that I remembered being in there. He obliged my request, and so, while in there, I quickly took new photos of each of the pictures in the little room. All of the pictures are framed, and most are hanging on the wall. The ones that aren't are sitting atop an antique piano, which belonged to the home's original owner.
When I returned home from my trip, and looked over my pictures, I immediately noticed that the military-looking insignia was much clearer than it had been in the first shot, and that the was a unmistakable number "3" above the crossing of the two rifles. I began to get excited, because I knew that I'd found William Green, some years ago, in the THIRD NC Volunteer Battalion, during the Spanish-American War! Could this be him? But, what was on the little medal under the guns? I studied it and studied it, trying to determine if it had the letter H on it, since that was William's company. But, all the blowing up and starting at it couldn't clarify that part of the picture. So, what did I do? I turned to the genealogy community on Facebook! :) Posting the picture and query instigated lots of discussion. In the end, although no one could make out what was under the rifles, everyone agreed that the rest of the insignia definitely represented the Third NC Battalion. Because there was no one else in my ancestral family who served in the SAW, and no one else who would have have been age-eligible and who would fit the physical description of the young man in the picture, I knew I had William!
|Close-up of insignia
So, there you have it! I am now able to look into the eyes of the youngest son of my great-great grandparents, Nathaniel Hawkins and Anna Green, whom I've never seen photos of. Looking at William allows me to look at the two of them - or at least to imagine what they may have looked like. I see William, and I think about what it must have been like for him to have served in this particular military unit - an all black battalion, which was subjected to the worst kind of racism, in and around their camps. I imagine for William, looking WHITE in this segregated regiment must have presented a multitude of additional challenges, both from within, and from outside of the "protective" walls of his encampments. I wonder, for William, what it was like to (presumably) for the first time in his life be immersed in an all-black world, especially since even the officers in this regiment were black? I wonder if he got bullied? I wonder if he got called, "white-boy" - if he was beat up, or teased for his appearance? I wonder if he was the only one in his company who was like this? I do know that he mustered in as a Sargent, and that was probably due to the color of his skin. But, why wasn't he one of the "officers"?
In William's eyes, I imagine I see the painfully-gained, growing wisdom of a young man, who has had his first venture into a harsh world, away from his family. I feel as though I see the contemplative wheels a-turning, and he considers his next move(s), knowing that he will never see himself the same way he may have before he enlisted, and understanding in even greater depth than before, the juxtaposition he would face as a white-looking black man in the Jim Crow south. And, for the first time since I learned of William Adam Green, who moved to New York, not too long after this picture was made, and lived out his life "passing" as white - I understood, and I forgave him.
August 9, 2009 (Updated on 1/5/2015)
Last week's mystery was about my gg grandmother, Anna Green. Today I'll introduce her son, William. William Green was born in
Florine tells a story of going with her aunt, William's sister, to New York for his funeral, but not being able to attend because she was "too brown" and would have given away the "secret". (Interesting, because Florine is very light, but not light enough to pass.) So, she stayed at the house - which I'm assuming was her Aunt Betty's (Elizabeth GREEN Miller's) house. Betty was also living in New York and passed for White. This was sometime in the 1930's. (She, along with her sister, Ruby, were the two, mentioned above.)
What I know for sure:...
1. William's middle name was Adam. Now, this is complicated, but I have a Family Group Record from familysearch.org that shows William's 1904 marriage in Manhattan. This marriage was to Sally Lou Johnson, who was also from Louisburg. (Florine says this is not the white woman, but a first wife, and I'm guessing she was Black.) On this document, William lists his parents as Anna Perkins and Nathaniel Green. If this is my William, which I believe it is, this document corroborates the oral history that Anna was originally a Perkins before she came to Louisburg. Nathaniel also matches the first name of the person I was told was Wm's white father, but I have a different surname. I'm assuming that William may have been guessing at this, because his father died when he was six and he was just probably assuming that his mother got her last name (Green) from him, but she didn't. They were never married. The other thing about this document is that I can no longer find it or pull it up on Family Search! Thank goodness I printed it out when I originally saw it, but it's a mystery as to why it no longer seems to be there. The middle name, Adam, was also confirmed on William's WWI Draft Registration (see below), and on his service record from the Spanish-American War.
|William's WWI Draft Registration
2. William died in New York. William died on February 21, 1940, in the Bronx, NY. He is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery, Hastings-on-Hudson in Westchester County, New York. His niece, Ruby Green, was the informant on his death certificate. William's wife, Margaret Boyle, had long predeceased him, having passed in 1929. I have not found evidence of them having any children, but I'm told that they may have had a son.
3. William's sister, Betty, also lived in New York and was passing for White. She was a "hairdresser to the rich folk", according to Cousin Florine, until William's wife found out that they were Black and went and told everyone. Then she lost all her clients. Florine says she lived in the Riverdale section of NY. Bettie married Roy Miller, a postal worker. According to Florine, my cousin H, and my cousin Virginia, Betty was also Doris Duke's personal stylist, and "traveled with her everywhere she went". I do have a picture of Betty relaxing on a ship deck, and others of her wearing furs, so perhaps this is true. I tried to verify this a few years ago, but I'd gotten the name wrong, and ended up writing to Doris DAY's people, instead of Doris DUKE's. A followup is on my to-do list. :)
William names his father as Nathaniel Green on the fs.org document. Our oral history gives the name Hawkins. (What the heck - that's the name. Nathaniel HAWKINS.) Well, this goes to show what a short time it's been since I discovered and uncovered my Hawkins ancestry! There's no further conflict on this. William's father was Nathaniel Hawkins.
1. Did William ever have any children, either by Sally Lou, or by his white wife? If so, what happened to them, and how can I find them? The whole Sally Lou thing is still a mystery, although I have a few suspicions. However, I don't find her anywhere else, in Louisburg, where it says she was from, or in NY. Florine insists that William had a child, but I'm thinking that if that child was in Louisburg, we'd know about him/her, so I don't know.
4. Did William maintain any type of communication with his mother, Anna? (Was she even still living, when he left NC?)
5. Did Anna ever visit William in New York? Could she have gone to live with him? (Perhaps as a servant? Remember, Anna disappears from my census findings after 1880.)
Today's mystery question: How can I find out more about William Green? The work continues...
*The picture of William A Green is the explicit property of this writer, and should not be copied without my permission. You may, though, feel free to share this post, in its entirety. :)

What is Social Media Marketing?
Social Media Marketing, otherwise known as SMM, is the process of marketing via social media sites such as:
- YouTube
- Google+
Taking advantage of the social aspect of the Internet, social media marketing can connect and interact on a more personalized and dynamic level compared to traditional marketing.
You can use simpler marketing strategies like having a Facebook or Twitter account or a company blog. You can attach phrases like "Tweet This" or "Share This" at the end of your articles.
But there are also complicated but effective strategies for a full campaign that includes viral videos through YouTube, social networking, blogs and Twitter.
- Social Networking gives you a venue to tell your story. It also provides a place where you can actively interact with your customers and allow them to interact with each other. If your content is valuable, interesting and engaging, your customers will spread it by sharing it with friends and family. It will go viral with very less effort from you.
- Twitter is very similar to a company blog. It is picking up a lot of stream as it is a great place for social media marketing. When you share exciting and timely posts in Twitter, this will significantly increase the number of your followers who will eventually become your regular and lasting customers.
- Content is not only limited to readable texts. We cannot deny the fact that many audience are not so fond of reading so they usually skip long articles. That is why businessmen have to be creative and come up with a strategy to reach out to this kind of audience. One of the most effective social media platform you can use to do this is YouTube. It is often time-consuming and expensive, but YouTube can easily become the centerpiece of your larger social media campaign. It is a great way to interact with your customers. You can involve them with the marketing, as well as your product or service.
Customer interaction is the core social media marketing and the cornerstone for building an effective marketing strategy. The more interactions with your customers, the more you build brand loyalty.

Being Active in Social Media Enhances Your Social SEO
Search Engine Optimization is associated with getting high rankings on Google and driving traffic to your website. Social SEO is specifically associated with communicating and interacting with others on social media platforms, such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other digital marketing social sites to boost your business' search engine rankings. When the two areas meet, you then have Social SEO. This new-found crossover in the digital marketing space makes getting higher rankings even easier than before and a lot faster too. It has several components that work together to contribute to the overall SEO rank building efforts.
- Website share
- Facebook and YouTube Likes
- More responses to hashtags
- More Tweets by reputable companies
- An increase in Google+1 received by your websites and Google+ circles that you are a part of.
At the end of the day, these types of positive social signals will further increase your search engine rankings due to very high exposure that your site will be receiving. Optimization of targeted keywords in these social environments will add mileage to the overall marketing process.
However, all these processes can be far too overwhelming to manage alone, especially for entrepreneurs who are new to Internet marketing. That is why hiring the services of marketing experts with Social SEO experience may be the marketing solution for you.
Businesses can be assisted with developing a Social Media Marketing process that is designed specifically for them, one that will be suitable for the company based on their particular industry.

I absolutely love the 1945 "V-J Day in Times Square" photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt.
It is a beautiful, historically significant image that captures an explosive release of pent-up emotions. It shows that the pain of war was passing and healing was beginning — all expressed by a sailor's impromptu and strong embrace for freedom, future and life. A plethora of emotions were all captured in the best of four shots, by a World War I veteran who died in 1995 at the age of 96.
Eisenstaedt's artistic ability has been recognized internationally. His photograph was published by the most widely read magazine in our country, amid our celebrations of the end of the war.
The "V-J Day in Times Square" photograph always makes me take a good, deep breath. Surely the donor offering to purchase "Unconditional Surrender" is similarly, deeply moved by Eisenstaedt's famous photograph, loved by so many for 64 years.
I detest, however, the computer-generated, oversized, horrendously painted, uncreative mass of materials by Seward Johnson called "Unconditional Surrender" that pollutes Sarasota's most important visual landscape. Without the slightest professional integrity or personal respect for the art form and quality the original photograph exudes, Johnson's imitative piece takes as hostage the emotions that are generated by viewing the original Eisenstaedt photograph.
"Unconditional Surrender" victimizes the iconic "V-J Day in Times Square" photograph and the artist, Eisenstaedt. Johnson never received (nor asked for) authorization from the Getty Museum, which now owns the rights to the image. Johnson tends to copy the works of dead artists and probably would never risk the same arrogant disregard of well-defended rights, such as those of the Walt Disney Co., for instance. Disney closely protects its images, packs a powerful threat to infringements and can afford a copyright battle against a multibillionaire. Also, let's face it, Disney already has oversized Mickey Mouses. It has been doing things in a big way for years, appropriately and in the right context.
Many fundamental questions about Johnson and his factory-created statues exist: his lack of artistic credentials, his lack of integrity regarding the art of another, the failed quality while executing the concept, the outrageous price tag for what is just mass-produced kitsch. Is this the type of artist or item, Sarasota should support — morally?
Sadly, the piece seems to be challenging judgment about what is or is not appropriate to support.
Supporters seem to feel insulted that many point out that this item does not qualify as "public art."
I feel that the donor and supporters, on a subconcious level, are emotionally blackmailed and blinded, possibly because of their love of the Eisenstaedt photograph, their country and personal military service.
Feelings that are a result of the original photograph do not justify placement of the "Unconditional Surrender" statue, and asking our city leaders to be ignorant to the facts is ludicrous.
Please send the message that integrity, execution and creativity matter to Sarasota by shipping that mass of material called "Unconditional Surrender" back to its maker, who clearly believes big is the only grading criteria.
Denise Kowal is a longtime Sarasota resident and retail merchant.
I absolutely love the 1945 "V-J Day in Times Square" photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt.

And to you, no amount of hand-wringing will make up for what you neglected to do... so don't dwell on it, see if some of his friends are still around and talk to them.
My condolences to you both.

Grilled Five-Spice Chicken Recipe
You can use the same marinade on chicken parts, but a whole butterflied chicken is less trouble to maneuver on a grill. Because the marinade contains sugar, the chicken skin will char easily if placed directly over the coals or gas flame, so cook the bird over indirect heat the entire time. The exterior will still develop a honey brown gloss thanks to the soy sauce and five-spice powder.
1 whole chicken, 3-1/2 to 4 lb.
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp minced lemongrass
1 tbsp peeled and minced fresh ginger
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp light brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
1 tsp five-spice powder
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Step 1: To butterfly the chicken, you need to remove the backbone. You can do this with poultry shears or a chef's knife. If using poultry shears, turn the chicken, breast side down, on a cutting board and cut from the neck to the tail along both sides of the backbone to release it. If using a chef's knife, turn the chicken, breast side up, on a cutting board. Insert the chef's knife into the body cavity and cut along both sides of the backbone to release it. With the breast side up, press on the breastbone with the heel of your hand to flatten the bird. Cut off the wing tips and discard.
Step 2: To make the marinade, put the garlic, shallot, lemongrass, ginger, and sugar in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. With the motor running, add the soy sauce through the feed tube and purée until the paste is as fine as possible. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the fish sauce, five-spice powder, and pepper.
Step 3: Place the flattened chicken in a large baking dish, pour the marinade over it, and turn the bird to coat on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Alternatively, you can put the chicken and its marinade in a 1-gallon heavy-duty resealable food storage bag and refrigerate. Marinate for 6-8 hours.
Step 4: Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 1 hour before you plan to grill. Prepare a moderate charcoal fire for indirect grilling or preheat a gas grill to medium (375°F), leaving one burner unlit for indirect grilling.
Step 5: Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Brush the skin side of the chicken with some of the marinade. Place the chicken, skin side down, over indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook until the skin is richly browned and crisp, 15-20 minutes. Brush the flesh side of the chicken with the remaining marinade, then turn the chicken, skin side up, cover the grill, and continue grilling over indirect heat until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced, or an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh away from the bone registers 165°F, about 15 minutes longer. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving into serving pieces.

I thought the video was rather cute
Sounds - Describe any sounds that take you back to your childhood. These could be familiar songs, jingles, children playing, or something entirely different.
Hearing Barry Manilow not only brings me back to my childhood, but it takes me to a very happy time in my childhood. A time before my parents' divorce began. My mother would play her "Barry baby" records and clean the house or bake, singing the whole time!
My dad hated Barry...although part of me thinks he only hated him because he was a handsome man with talent that my mother adored...or perhaps just because my mother found enjoyment in his songs. That's just the man my father was and is. Sadly, because of my father's berating of Barry I grew up feeling as though I too did not like "the songs that make the whole world sing". As I matured and entered college I realize upon hearing him once more that not only did I enjoy his music because he was talented, but because it reminded me of a happy time in my childhood.
I took to listening to Barry Manilow quite often through college. I remember a time when my roommate, some other friends and I were sitting in our room listening to Barry, singing aloud and drinking root beer from bottles when our Resident Assistant banged on our door in an attempt to bust us for having alcohol in our room. How foolish she looked! How silly the write-up would have been if we had been boozing it up to Barry! :)
So I've come full circle. I have my own children and I enjoy torturing them with my bad sing-a-longs to "Copacabana" and "Weekend in New England". They don't generally fight with me when I play Barry. They get a laugh out of mommy dancing and singing when she cooks or cleans. While my husband does not share my appreciation for his music, I can say I married a better man than my father because apart from a kind teasing about it, he tolerates it very well!

So I sent them a payment for $400.
On Saturday I received a box containing the last 3 years of issues (which I already have), and a letter asking me if I'd like to subscribe to the next 3 years for another $400.
Needless to say, I'll be calling them this morning.

Jem Rayfield wrote a very interesting post on the technologies used by the World Cup BBC web site, which also got covered by Read Write Web.
All this is very exciting, the World Cup Website proved that triple store technologies can be used to drive a production website with significant traffic. I am expecting lots more parts of the BBC web infrastructure to evolve in the same way :-)
There are two issues we are still currently trying to solve though:
- We need to be able to cluster our triples in several dimension. For
example, we may want to have a graph for a particular programme, and a much
larger graph for a particular dataset (e.g. programme data, wildlife finder
data, world cup data). The smaller graph is used to make our updates relatively
cheap (we replace the whole graph whenever we receive an update). The bigger
graph is used to give some degree of isolations between the different sources
of data. For that, we need
graphs within graphs. It can be done with N3-type graph literals, but is impossible to achieve in a standard quad-store setup, where one single triple can't be part of several graphs.
- With regards to programme data, the main bottleneck we're facing is the number of updates per second we need to be able to process, which most of available triple stores struggle to keep up. The 4store instance on DBTune does keep up, but it has a negative impact on the querying performances, as the write operations are blocking the reads. We were quite surprised to see that the available triple store benchmarks do not take the write throughput into account!

Orangism in all its forms must be stamped out, whether it involves bowler-hatted lunatics marching down the Shankhill Road or fish-lipped bints rolling down the High Street exposing their badly plucked crevices to doormen and taxi drivers.
A natural light tan can look rather fetching on a lady but I find that an exceptionally pale shade of blue looks rather alluring, especially with expertly applied mascara and sheer nylons.
I never understood the hype around tanning in the summer. I am myself a rather pale type who, if anything, gets a sunburn rather than a light tan. Meanwhile I really like my pale skin although I sometimes stand out in a crowd, especially in summer. I personally think that a person shouldn't try to tan if she/he is naturally a pale type.
Living in the North-West, I tend to see lots of "orange humans" and everytime I see it it makes me cringe. I do agree that the tan, either being natural or artificial, if done in moderation!!!, can look right or improve someone's skin-tone. But that's on certain individuals, NOT everyone.
I am olive skin, therefore I love my skin tanned because it brings out the skin pigments of my flesh and undermines the yellowness of it.
However, someone who is clearly the anglosaxon type or "english rose" or, to be more extreme, red-head; WILL NOT look good with it, regardless of the clothing they are wearing, their age or the season. I truly applaud Nicola Roberts in ditching the bloody things. Not only it makes her look good (because that's HER natural skin-tone) youthful and it gives her an edge.
Hope not to have bored you all with my loooong comment. I am truly passionate about this matter.
Great blog, by the way.
Handmade Gothic and Vintage inspired clothing and accessories.
Hi, found your blog today ( vintage gal as I am). Anywho I am pale or should I say fair and have always been. When I was younger I did not use sun screen and I'm guilty to have used a tanning boot a few times. But I like myself fair. As opposed to my 2 yr older sister, she always tan and wants to be tan etc, when I visited her last weekend she said something about me always being pale and I said yes that's a choice I made, wear SPF 50 when it's really sunny out. she went on in a sort of mocking manner, that even f I do try to get a tan I get just red etc. I said that's not true. I don't know why she has to still put me down, she's 32 yrs old now, LOL. Then I got a compliment from her friend saying that I looked really good fair and that I had the right kind of skin for that, classic beauty etc. So yeah I'll stay fair among orange people!
Thank you for the comments, I must admit the pale = unhealthy attitude is understandable but wrong. I am flushed when drunk,embarassed or out of sorts.
WDI - so a nice spray tan for RR is a bad idea then? surely it would make me more photogenic?!
Ah, but as black and white photog is best, a spray tan will only muddy the contrast.
Stick to alabaster.
My legs haven't seen sunlight since 1980 and are now almost transparent. They resemble jellyfish tentacles, I'm proud to declare.
I hate fake tan, to me it looks ugly and cheap, the orange craze with ultra thick, beige make up on top makes me want to scream. If one has the sort of skin that tans naturally then it will look fine because it will suit the skin tone etc. A couple of my friends go the lovliest shade of honey brown in the summer but they are dark eyed and dark haired and it looks great on them.
I'm a reddish/brown haired, transparent skinned Celt, I will burn badly at the least hint of sun
and I have the whole blue vein thing going on. I have to say, I don't like it, especially the very obvious one that runs across my chest to my arm, it gives me the creeps. I'd have been so fashionable in Edwardian times, no need for me to crayon them in!
Unless one is naturally dark skinned, just go pale and interesting, I say.
I hadn't seen this one when I wrote my post (so behind on my reader, sorry!)
I think some people really suit a tan and others don't, as ever there's no "one size fits all" way to look, and as long as you look after your skin and do daft things like cook yourself on a sun bed then whatever skin tone you like is fine!
I've just downloaded iStripper, so I can watch the best virtual strippers on my taskbar.

Circadian clock may impact organ transplant success
Health care providers assess blood and tissue type as well as organ size and health to enhance transplant success. New research indicates that checklist might also need to include the circadian clock.
While some human studies have shown the time of day transplant surgery is performed can influence the outcome, this study of mice with dysfunctional internal clocks is the first correlating circadian clocks with transplant success, said Dr. Daniel Rudic, vascular biologist at Georgia Health Sciences University and corresponding author of the study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The GHSU researchers found that arteries of mice with circadian clock dysfunction became thick and diseased within a few weeks of being transplanted to healthy mice. Arteries transplanted from healthy mice to the mutant mice remained healthy.
Blood vessel disease, and resulting blood loss to donated organs, is a key pitfall for transplant patients, potentially leading to organ failure and rejection.
"You take an organ out of a human, you don't think about it having a bad clock," Rudic said. "But the fact is the time at which you do the organ transplant may influence overall success and, if you have a donor who has a sleep disorder or is a night shift worker, it may affect it as well."
Since even healthy clocks produce variability in tissue function across the span of a day, transplantation might be best performed during optimal organ function, he said.
In addition to enabling sleep/wake cycles, circadian clocks are found throughout the body and involved in a lot more than sleep. "The clock is expressed not only in the brain but everywhere in the body and can function autonomously in different areas," Rudic said.
"Our research shows it's the clock within the blood vessel that is key to conferring the disease response in this case," said Dr. Bo Cheng, GHSU postdoctoral fellow and the study's first author.
While the researchers can determine whether clock gene expression is up, down or mutated, there is currently no way to do the tests in humans. Until screening tests are identified, donors could be screened for signs of dysfunction such as a sleep disorder or even aberrant behaviors that can impair healthy clocks, such as shift work, Rudic said. "Ideally this will open up some new research avenues," he said.
Interestingly, when blood vessels from the mutant mouse stay in that mouse, disease progression is much slower. "We believe that bad clock function worsens when it intersects with disease, so if you are eating a high-fat diet or if you undergoing a serious surgery like a transplant, and you have a bad clock, disease may occur and may occur quickly," Rudic said.
In 2009, he reported in the journal Circulation that mice with mutated or missing clock genes were prone to vascular disease similar to smokers and people with high blood pressure and cholesterol. That study showed the blood vessel clocks regulate key signaling that enables blood vessel dilation and remodeling.

Q: How can a Wowplane model be finished?
A: The core of
a Wowplane model is made from precision cut CNC EPS foam and usually consist of between 10 to 15
pre-shaped foam parts. The model can be assembled as a foam only and painted
with water based paints. Sheeted
with balsa. Fiber glassed over bare foam or after balsa sheeting. Or painted
with Wowplane's revolutionary Liquid Sheet. A 2 part liquid that is brushed on,
and provides a hard glossy skin that can be painted with most paints.
Q: Are your planes ARFs or Kits?
A: They are a BUILDER'S KITS. We use a quick
build technique that takes a lot
less time than a built up balsa frame kit.
Q: What else is included?
A: Everything that you cannot purchase at a Hobby Shop or can easily fabricate is included. Between 10 to 15 pre-shaped foam parts, and a complete set of quality
vacuum formed plastic parts. Some models also include a set of pilots and
Q: What power set up do you recommend or
A: We have tested power setups specified on the spec page of each model
we sell. This setup will fly off grass and will provide good performance
and speed as shown in the flight videos on the spec pages.
