found in mom's basement
the non-blond
quirky finds
How do you tell if the bottle is the original or the reformulation?
womo531: my bottles are marked 'Made by Cosmair', and 'Made in USA' right on the labels. They are 1980s vintage and smell great, so that's what I'm going by. That's not to say my method is completely fool proof- it's a place to start, though.
Also, anything sold as 'new', or sold by someone who has say, ten bottles, all in their boxes and looking factory fresh is likely to be the new reformulated version, as are things coming from overseas. Look for single bottles from garage sale type sellers, 'home-made' photographs of the actual item versus a stock photograph. Those are some ideas to get you going. Check Ebay, Quirky Finds, and other places like that.
good luck!
It makes me sad every time I read about another great scent reformulation. Sometimes it feels like it's better if a perfume is discontinued altogether.
Undina: You are right- I think it comes down to greed in the case of bringing out poor reformulations like this one. Once the parent company realizes there is still demand for something they've killed, they resurrect it but only as a ghost: the same bottle, same name but the juice, they just make something up from whatever they have on hand. I'd rather have the real juice in a waxed paper cup-
If the regulators continue to have their way as they are now, perfume is changing into something else- apparently we can't be trusted to handle or apply such toxic substances to ourselves! Some people, like Octavian at 1000fragrances, think that in the future we will all be on the hunt for vintage fragrances, especially those from 1980 to now.
Who knows?
I would love to try the original TUXEDO! I only have the Irma Shorell version and it was love at first sniff!! It reminds me a little of YSL Yvresse but without so much over-ripe fruit. The dry down isn't the "butch" leather of the original but it's there. And I agree with the creamy part. The best part is that I got a 4 oz. EDT of this version for a whopping $4.99 so I get to spray with great abandon!!!
Melissa: Thank you for weighing in on this one and letting us know about that IS version- RL Tuxedo doesn't suggest Yvresse so much to me so I'm interested to see about the Shorell. I will probably pop for the IS version in the near future. I can always layer it with something leather. You did good on the price, btw!

Wis. House members vote along party lines on health care repeal
Wisconsin's House delegation split 5-3 along party lines as the chamber voted to repeal the 2010 federal health care reform law.
The final vote in favor of repeal was 244-185; only five congressional Dems voted with Republicans to support repeal, while no Republicans voted against today's measure.
"We should be choosing approaches which give consumers incentives to use their health care dollars wisely," said U.S. Rep. Tom Petri, R-Fond du Lac, in a statement. "Instead, we are going in the opposite direction by turning decisions over to the government."
U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, D-La Crosse, called the vote a waste of time.
"Enough is enough," Kind said in a statement. "The Supreme Court found the Affordable Care Act constitutional."

This Author Spotlight
novelist Mark Stone
author of
and the sequel
1. How did you get into writing?
Like most people, I guess, I found out I had an aptitude for the craft. Even better is the fact that I enjoy it. It took several years of maturing and acquiring discipline for me to actually produce something.
2. What do you like best (or least) about writing?
What I like best is being in the zone, when the words come so quickly to mind that your fingers can hardly move fast enough across the keyboard.
3. What is your writing process? IE do you outline? Do you stick to a daily word or page count, write 7 days a week, etc?
I write 7 days a week, about 3-4 hours a day. Sometimes I don't write, I merely ponder the storyline and jot down notes, but I try to type about 3k words a day.
For anyone who may be a wee-bit innumerate, that's 90k words in 30 days. Or, more aptly, that's a book per month. That's prolific.
4. Who are some other writers you read and admire, regardless of whether they are commercially "successful?"
I have just discovered Steven Montano and I love his wordcraft. I think the man has serious potential. If I don't mind my Ps & Qs, I could become seriously jealous. The others would be Larry Niven, Tolkien (of course), Dave Duncan and Julian May.
5. Should the question mark in the above question be inside or outside the quotes?
On the outside, I believe.
6. What's your stance on the Oxford Comma?
About two feet to the left.
Ha! Good one, Mark.
7. What is your book 'Things to Do in Denver When You're Undead' about and how did it come to fruition?
An emotionally damaged man who belongs to a secret government agency tasked with policing the supernatural world. While watching the Andy Garcia movie ("Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead"), the title just hit me, then the story. I knew exactly how the story would progress before I wrote a word.
8. What's your current writing project?
I have decided to join the mainstream and write a vampire book. I am somewhat ashamed at my willingness to follow the crowd, but I had a good idea and I want to see where it takes me. It is called 'The Catholic Vampire'.
9. What book(s) are you currently reading?
'After America' by John Birmingham. 'Black Scars', 'Age of Odin', 'The Zombie Bible', and 'Redlaw'. My TBR pile is off the chain…
10. Who or what inspires your writing?
My kids provide the motivation, my wife the inspiration while I provide the perspiration.
Finally, is there anything you'd care to add? Please also include where people can read your published stories, buy your book, etc.
To would-be writers: Discipline! Stick to a plan and don't hold back. If the product sucks, don't be afraid to stop and start something new. It has happened to all of us.
As for my books, you can purchase them at any e-book seller. The sequel to the 'Denver' is out. It is called 'What Happens in Vegas, Dies in Vegas'. The third book in the series-'I Left My Haunt in San Francisco'- will be released nationally this Sept. My fourth book, 'The Judas Line', will be released May 15. All are published by Camel Press.
Thank you for sharing with us, Mark.
Let's chat again in May in order to help spread the word for THE JUDAS LINE.
If you are a writer and would like to be featured in an Author Spotlight, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hello ladies. I have been searching YouTube for some inspiration and I have ran across a few really talented ladies that I really enjoy watching. One is RachO113. She did a beautiful tutorial on a vintage tag and so I thought I would give it a try. I probably shouldn't tell you that I made this from her tutorial as she may see it and think "OMG what was she thinking in making this". LOL. Well Her things are soooo much more beautiful than mine, but with a little work and a little luck that I might be able to get some supplies I hope to some day be able to make mine as beautiful as hers. Here is her link if you are interested in seeing her tutorial. glimmer vintage tag tutorial .
Well here is my attempt at a vintage tag.. I don't have hardly any supplies since moving across country and alot of things have been going on in my life but I tried to make due with what I had. The paper I created using different inks and a embossing folder. I then distressed the edges and used gold Rub N Buff lightly over the embossed area of the paper and around the edges. I glued a small white feather behind the image and I dyed the only lace I had in matching colors however the picture didn't pick that up too well. I then used some odds and ends flowers I had from my stash to embellish the corner and finished it off with a small amount of fibers someone had sent me in a RAK a few years ago. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Have a wonderful day.

No doubt about it: Pizza is a very guilty pleasure.
But it's one that we often rationalize. After all, it's vegetarian (and there are plenty of cheeseless, vegan versions), and with that old "four food groups" argument kids are so fond of, it's easy to make pizza sound pretty healthy.
The vegan versions you can buy are alright, since you skip all that cheese. But they're usually little more than flatbreads with a few vegetables on them, and even then, brands like Amy's will run you five to seven bucks for a pie I could eat with half a stomach.
As for the pizzas from Thrive, they're nutritional powerhouses, and tasty ones at that. But if you're going to call them pizzas, you'd better surround the word with three or four protective layers of quotation marks to avoid defaming the character of the real thing. Even Brendan Brazier will admit that.
But yesterday, I discovered the solution to our pizza woes.
White Bean Pizza from Vegan on the Cheap
The most recent cookbook Wiley sent me is the newest from Robin Robertson, author of the outstanding 1,000 Vegan Recipes. (And far more famously, NMA interviewee.) Her new book is called Vegan on the Cheap, which is right up this graduate student's alley. If I need to explain to you what the concept behind the book is, maybe you should go back to bed.
The pizza is a little bit backwards: A white-bean mixture, which looks kind of like cheese, makes up the first layer. Then tomatoes, which ordinarily would go under the cheese, top the pizza. And they sort of look like pepperonis, which adds to the confusion.
Pizza You Can Feel Good About
But confusing as it is, this pizza is athlete-approved. The white beans provide a healthy dose of protein and complex carbs, and you can, of course, add whatever other vegetables you'd like.
I'm sure you'll notice that the recipe calls for white flour. To be true to the recipe, I went ahead and used this the first time. But I've made pizza dough with whole-wheat flour plenty of times, and it always turns out just fine. So that's what I'll do next time.
As far as taste goes, this one was almost a huge hit. The crust was crunchy-but-chewy, the white bean topping garlicky delicious, and the tomatoes, basil, and olives classically flavorful. But the pizza was lacking one thing—acidity. Perhaps some lemon juice would have done the trick, maybe a side of tomato sauce for dipping, or even some vinegary carmelized onions. (We opted for buffalo sauce, just like countless other times.)
If you decide to try this, notice that the recipe has you make your own dough, which requires about an hour and a half of rising time.
But I'd really like to hear of what you guys come up with to jazz this pizza up a little; feel free to link to your recipes in the comments. It's the perfect start to making pizza something you can feel good about.
Tuscan White Bean Pizza
From Vegan on the Cheap, by Robin Robertson, Wiley, 2010
Makes 1 (12-inch) pizza. (< $1.00 per serving)
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 1/2 cups cooked or 1 (15.5-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/3 cup water or vegetable stock
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 medium ripe roma tomatoes, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Stir in the water until combined, then use your hands to knead it into a soft dough.
2. Tranfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes, adding additional flour as needed so it doesn't stick. Shape the dough into a smooth ball and place in an oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature in a warm spot until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
3. After the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured work surface, punch it down, and gently stretch and lift it to make a 12-inch round about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the round to a floured baking sheet or pizza stone. Let the dough rise in a draft-free place for 20 minutes. Adjust the over rack to the bottommost position of the oven. Preheat over to 425 degrees F.
4. Make the topping: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the beans, salt, and pepper.
5. Mash the beans to break them up, then stir in the water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is creamy, about 8 minutes. Stir in the basil and set aside.
6. To assemble the pizza, spread the bean mixture evenly on top of the dough round, to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Arrange the tomato slices on top and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake until the crust is browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve hot.
Splurge a little: Add sliced pitted kalamata olives when you add the tomatoes. Garnish with thin strips of fresh basil leaves.

Above is the logo, taken from an advertisement announcing the movement of the club to a new address, of the Emanuel Lasker Chess Club in Tel Aviv. It should not be confused with the club of the same name that operated in Jerusalem. The banner in the middle of the board says קלוב שחמטי -- chess club -- while the motto on the bottom says עמנואל לאסקר -- Emanuel Lasker. On the right the writing says, 'THE CHESS CLUB "Emanuel Lasker"'.
P.S. In Hebrew, unlike in English, the noun tends to come first and the adjective or possessive later, e.g., 'house red' (bayit adom) or 'club Lasker' (moadon Lasker) instead of 'red house' or 'Lasker's club'. Also, surprisingly, the official logo of the club had not often been seen in print.

The dragon boat is traditionally a long thin canoe type boat powered by the people who paddle onboard. Boats are decorated with distinctive Chinese dragon heads and tails and the boats carry a drum to lead the crew
The 40-foot boats can hold up to 16 paddlers (plus one drummer at the helm). Each team will compete in three heats along the River Aire from Crown Point Bridge to Leeds Bridge, passing Brewery Wharf, Centenary Bridge and The Calls.
The Dragon Boat festival originated in China to honour the poet Chu Yuan, who drowned himself in the Mi Lo River in a protest of the political injustice during the third century. Legend says that as the locals tried to rescue him they beat drums and threw dumplings into the river to prevent fish from eating him

When this is a real-time game with levels you showed in those great and absolute fantastic artworks, then remember the following: "Shut up and take my money!"
It would be cool to see some surreal appearing levels, too. For example you could use this fantastic artwork (https://www.moddb.com/games/out-there/images/encounter#imagebox) in which you have to clear/free your mind from your thoughts, insanity, unconsciousness or, as the name suggests, the encounter of a weird or ancient galactic power. A dream level would also be a blast! It should be a visual journey like in The Journey, Another World or this level of Uncharted 3 where you crash landed in the desert and just walk around and later seeing hallucinations. I hope this is not going to be a point'n'click game because that would destroy much of the great atmosphere. I want the freedom to move around and see all the nice backgrounds and images. However, I can't wait to see more of this!

New Publication: Water Quality Index as a Simple Indicator for Sustainability Management of Rural Landscape in West Java, IndonesiaPosted by Hadi Susilo Arifin under Paper's Abstracts
1 Comment
Regan Leonardus Kaswanto, Hadi Susilo Arifin, and Nobukazu Nakagoshi. 2012. Water Quality Index as a Simple Indicator for Sustainability Management of Rural Landscape in West Java, Indonesia. International Journal of Environmental Protection. Dec. 2012, Vol. 2 Iss. 12, PP. 17-27.
|Water Quality Index as a Simple Indicator for Sustainability Management of Rural Landscape in West Java, Indonesia
|Research on water quality in rural landscapes in four watersheds was conducted in the dry season period. Twenty four villages in the west part of Java Island, Indonesia, were selected as the study sites. Water samples from springs, ponds, paddy fields and rivers in each village were analyzed. The water quality index (WQI) results showed that the water samples were in "good" and "medium" level. This condition proofed that rural landscapes have the ability to absorb and clean the water pollution through the natural process. Further analysis shows the negative correlation between WQI and TIN (sum of NH4-N, NO3-N and NO2-N), which indicated the deterioration in water quality due to the addictive effect of inorganic nitrogen compounds. Furthermore, the negative correlation between WQI and dissolved oxygen (DO) indicates the water quality is still in low level which complies with the standard. In conclusion, as a useful method for water quality classification, the WQI is effectively applicable for the assessment of water quality in the rural landscapes. In addition, the results were easy to understand for the non-scientific public and decision-makers. The WQI is suitable for the water quality assessments for monitoring pollution control strategies, particularly in developing countries with limited budgets.

#SpendlessSeptember: 5 Tips for Shopping your StashMonday, September 22, 2014
We've all been there - an 'innocent stroll' into your local Boots and, before you know it, you're £50 lighter in the wallet and carrying a tiny loot home to be popped into those make up drawers. It's a slippery slope, guys and gals, take it from someone who's been there. So in the spirit of #SpendlessSeptember, I wanted to talk about the 'make do and mend' ethos of the beauty world - shopping your stash.
I have to say, embarrassingly, I didn't even know how much of a 'stash' I really had until we were packing up to move. Moving will put a lot of things into perspective (aka black bin bags) for you - but more about that on Wednesday. Here are my top tips for being a little more mindful about your make up manifest:
1. The Seasonal Edit/Refresh - I try to do this even when I'm not cutting back on spends, because two clear Muji drawers do not accommodate for an empire of beauty booty. Keeping things fresh, often-rotated, and as seasonally relevant as possible helps you stay clutter free and reveals any 'gaps' you might have in your collection. Just like your wardrobe, your make up collection needs refreshing for the winter months too. I love me a coral lip, but am I really going to feel like rocking that out when it's minus temperatures outside? Probs not.
2. Check your dates - I swear by Meg from LipsSo Facto's beauty product expiry cheat sheet, which is probably one of the most comprehensive guides on the internet, and who doesn't love an excuse to crack out the label maker? Expired products, particularly mascara, lipstick, any pots that you've dipped into with fingers (I'm looking at you, lip balms), that have seen their time in the sun? Straight to the bin.
3. Get creative - So your skin type has changed a little, and the foundation you used to LOVE is gathering dust because it's too full coverage? Why not mix a few drops into your favourite moisturiser? Or soften that bold lip you-thought-you-could-but-you-couldn't by blotting it down with a tinted lip balm? You get my drift. Get your Nutty Professor on! Make up mixology is some of the most fun you can have with products that have fallen by the wayside, and seeing your old things in a new light breathes life into what might otherwise have been 'wasted' purchases.
4. Document - When I was younger, all I wanted was Cher Horowitz's closet organizer on her computer. It was genius, and why no one has invented it is still a puzzle to me. For those that haven't seen Clueless - a) what are you doing with your life and b) proceed here for reference. Well, for you Type-A organizational freaks like myself - there's no better time than the present. Create a folder on your iCloud, get busy with your iPhone for an afternoon - heck, you could even make subfolders by shade - but let's not get too crazy up in here.
5. Set a goal and name your reward! YES. WE REACHED FIVE TIPS AND I DIDN'T SAY 'ONE IN ONE OUT'. Obviously, 'one in one out' is a great way to stay on top of your beauty stash, and a really sensible practice to live by. But sometimes, it isn't practical! Sometimes you have a nicely edited selection, but you just want to cut back a little - and that's great too! So what IS important, is to keep in perspective what you're saving for, and when you'll be able to reach your goal. Even if your goal is ANOTHER lipstick. It's probably Charlotte Tilbury isn't it. It's totally worth it. I feel you.
What are your favourite hidden treasures you've uncovered from shopping your stash? How do you keep yourself disciplined?

FFA DEATHMATCH: Digital vs Watercolor vs Oil
81 comments:
Oil, definately.ReplyDelete
All beautiful, but I think oil edges it...ReplyDelete
Great stuff!ReplyDelete
I think you get the best read with the digital one. The contrast there seems the best to me, and it has a nice saturation pop.
I personally like the watercolor one and it's palette, but I think it lacks the contrast/focus of the digital one.
Dig the oil one. good job. I think the texture of it is nice, but i think you lose some of the definition and it looks like your values have darkened up...especially on the robot/smoke. That's where I find the digital one more successful.
awesome comparison. thanks for taking us on the ride with ya!
While the contrast is better on the oil and digital, to me, I think watercolor has more personality.ReplyDelete
It would be interesting to see all three in the same palette but I realize that's not possible.
Great job on all three!!
I'm all for traditional media so my first knee jerk reaction is to vote for the oil, but in this case I think that the mechanical nature of the robot lends itself a bit more to the crispness of the digital version.ReplyDelete
Thanks for doing this I've been curious to see your results.
If you were to ask me without seeing the pieces, I would say I prefer the the human hand, the variations and flaws and brushstrokes of an oil painting or the controlled "accidents" of a watercolor. There's something beautiful about the simplicity of brush and color. However, viewing the three examples I am going to have to choose the digital. Fortunately the presence of brush strokes and hand hewn linework give a very touchable, human feeling to the piece. The base artwork is beautifully enhanced by the digital work whereas many times an artist will overwhelm the hand process with digital bells and whistles. You've achieved a near perfect balance. Kudos.ReplyDelete
Hi Justin,ReplyDelete
I'd say you need a fourth option - a digitally completed oil painting.
Also, there is a temptation to try to like the traditional media, I think. You should have just asked which was batter, without telling which was which, or what criteria we should be using, methinks.
I like the oil painting best.ReplyDelete

I like the lighting details on the digital best, but the smoke details in the oil. They're all beautifully executed, with their own strengths, but which one is best for the feeling the piece is trying to convey? I think the watercolor has the least impressive details, but its pallete to me seems to best convey the gritty mood.ReplyDelete
I swithered, I really did, because they all have their own strengths. The oil has a really dark, night-time atmosphere. The watercolours are great: the perfect evocation of a grey, miserable, run-down, crime-ridden urban environment. But I'm going to choose the digital, because I love the lighting - it draws the eye in, and it points up the contrast between the tiny human leaping from the safety of the shadows towards the shiny, lethal, inhuman machine.ReplyDelete
I love them all. It is hard to choose, but I do agree that the digital is more vibrant. Perhaps I can say it best that if I was to buy a print I would go for the digital.ReplyDelete
I think that the digital has the best pop to it, definitely the digital.ReplyDelete
Yeah, feelin' like digital has the most impact at a glance. While the texture of the oil piece is nice, it just doesn't jump out at me like the digital one does.ReplyDelete
I have to agree with Wonders for Oyarsa's comment. You need to digitally enhance the oil. I love the strokes and variations in the brush work used in the oil painting, but miss the warmth in the smoldering rubble and smoke.ReplyDelete
The relationship between the crazy guy jumping down to assault the mech is slightly lessened in the oil as compared to the digital watercolour.Due mostly ,in my opinion to the over all cool colors surrounding him. Where as in the digital you have the warmer smoke that helps energize the Conflict between them. Granted, i know our crazy boy doesn't stand a chance going solo against the mech and this emotion is further driven by the color scheme, which is much bleaker in oils than the digital conterpart, which has a hint of hope for our crazy's effort. All that said you could probably warm the oil up with some wonderful glazing.
Blah blah blah...
Thanks for posting all of these. They truly are inspiring!
I've been following this piece since you first started it. I never thought I'd say this but I like the oil so much better. It has so much life and really drives home the idea of a David vs. Goliath story.ReplyDelete
But... I also think it would be cool if you combine the sharpness on the edges of the digital piece with the oil piece.
Hm, I love the textures in the oil one, but I think it's missing some of the great value range of the digital piece. I also really like the bits of orange in the digital one, so I'll have to go with that. :)ReplyDelete
I was expecting to prefer the oil, but the digital gets my vote as the most effective illustration.ReplyDelete
The watercolor seems a little soft for what is being conveyed in the picture, but on second thought it does have a little more grittiness as sirvalence pointed out. I like the digital for the contrast, but I have to go with the oil because the detail is beautiful.ReplyDelete
They all look great, but I prefer the digital version. The colors grab me the most.ReplyDelete
Nice to see them side by side like this. I like aspects of both the digital and the oil just as others have commented.ReplyDelete
I think with such a mixed bag for the reaction you should experiment with executing the piece mostly in digital, print it out large and mount it on panel, and finish it up in oils. That way, you can let the digital show through where it shows it's strength, such as in the mech character, and use oils for the more textural parts like the smoke, etc. Plus you will still have an original oil painting... which I think you could still call an oil painting since you will be covering the majority of the surface with paint. That is how this whole comparison started anyway, right? What to label the medium?
I've tried this method and it tends to speed up the whole process as well.
They are all wonderful. But I would give the edge to the oil. It has more depth and a human element the others lack. It's more "art" than the others.ReplyDelete
Love the light in the digital - the most attractive feature of the three for me. Contrasting light and dark. The other two seem dull by comparison.ReplyDelete
Also, there seems to be a spark being kicked up by a bullet hitting the mech's left shoulder, a nice touch absent from the other versions.
digital does it for me.ReplyDelete
Digital. It seems to take the elements of the watercolor that I like, and that of the oil, to make one successful piece.ReplyDelete
The contrast in the digital makes it edge out the oil for me.ReplyDelete
Oil, hands down. Not only is it the most beautiful of the 3 (and all three are beautiful), it's the most eloquent. In terms of color dynamics it stands up to the digital piece, but it retains a sense of its organic origins. In other words, its more human. Translation: you win.ReplyDelete
I went back and forth between all three for a long time trying to figure out what of each of them I liked. I like the looseness of the watercolor, and would have been interested in seeing a completed watercolor, rather than just an underpainting.ReplyDelete
I like the glowing details of the digital and the saturation, but overall depth to the piece is strongest with the oil. This is particularly noticeable when you see the three pieces in the small shots, rather than zoomed in. I'd like to see what a merging of the oil and digital would look like.
Digital. The contrast is similar to oil, but it was the tiny amounts of red, orange and yellow in the digital that did it for me. I wouldn't have been able to choose if the oil had those as well. Great job!ReplyDelete
Digital for me.ReplyDelete
While I bow down to your traditional techniques - recreating that scene in oil in that way is amazing - the subject matter is suited to the crispness and polish of your digital hybrid.
The watercolour version, on the other hand is so suited to a graphic novel it has me drooling at the prospect.
There is a texture with oil that is very difficult to capture with digital work. It is that touch of reality.ReplyDelete
My vote is by far for the oil.
There's a richness to the oil that is missing in the other two, although I wish the texture in the steam clouds behind the figure was less pronounced, sharpening the edges of the figure. I also would like to see you add the touches of orange and yellow sparks that you put in the digital piece.ReplyDelete
What a great experiment. Thank you for sharing your work. Such wonderful art.
You surprised me. I was so sure that your digital would just win out.ReplyDelete
The oils contrast is really good - a solid level. Watercolor feels a little washed out. The digital feels a little too dark. But the digital has the perfect balance of warm and cool tones. The subtle warm tones amongst all of the cold blues in your digital work is what makes it for me.
In this case I like the digital best because of the lovely contrast of the light. Very often though I prefer your watercolors. Either way, all of your artwork is great.ReplyDelete
I think digital one is a more powerful image, but oil's piece supports a longer observationReplyDelete
again I say, the subject matter has dictated which medium works best in this case. I like 'em all, but the digital just works the best for this one. If I were a client commissioning a mech piece, I would go with the digital one.ReplyDelete
First of all I have to say that I'm impressed of both pieces, I just keep learning from your work process every time you publish stuff like this.ReplyDelete
Even though I like the textures and brushstrokes in the oil painting, I prefer the digital version most.
In the oil version, I really like how the background elements look out of focus and that adds depth to the whole scene. But colors look a bit flat, or it may be that you should have waited to the oil to dry-up a bit more. For me it just matter of working a couple of hours more on the details around the focal point.
On the digital version the color scheme is richer and the details are sharper. All textures are more defined, metal looks like metal, smoke looks like smoke and so on.
Great work!
Yeah each medium is fantastic in it's own way. But I think digital takes the cake.ReplyDelete
I am probably biased but its great washed out tone really works for the piece.
I hate to tell you this man, but I think my vote is going for the Digital, don't get me wrong you got a great piece with the oil, but you still set the bar with the crispness and color you pulled off with the digital method you use.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 5, 2010 at 11:11 PM
There's something so pure about the watercolor. However, at the end of the day, being able to pull and push digitally the value and color begun in the watercolor is what puts the digital on top for me.ReplyDelete
Inspiring as always Justin!
Hey Justin,ReplyDelete
I have always liked your watercolor work, but I'm going to have to say digital won this time, with oils as a second place.
The digital has those few sparks of color that draw in the eye around the ends of the gun barrels and the cockpit. The oils did well, but they just needed that something extra.
I think the best thing about this one is the composition - the perspective is awesome!
Absolutely incredible display of process. Thanks. I like them all! The oil has some amazing texturing, but the digital looks like it was done overtop the watercolor so it has a nice feel too! So happy I found this blog.ReplyDelete
Initially I wanted to go with the digital version because of the warm orange glow but the oil has so much more texture and personality. Oil it is!ReplyDelete
Awesome job Justin! Personally I prefer the digital over the oil. i figured it was because it was lit more dramatically and had cleaner lines. however, the oil does have a more organic look to it that I do like, and the darker lighting does alter the mood a little. the watercolor is great for a sketch to final comparison page.ReplyDelete
speaking of which, are you planning on releasing any more books soon? keep up the fantastic work!
Better contrast and lighting.
This is quite frustrating actually. I really like the Oil version, it has a fantastic texture that is lacking on the digital piece (especially in the smoke and pillars), but I can't resist the color of the digital.ReplyDelete
If the Oil version had the warmer colors (from the fire, guns, sparks in the air) that make such a contrast in the digital version, it would get my vote hands down.
Have to say I like the ink/digi combo the best. The oil looks like a thicker-stroked rendition of the same thing, but lacks the punch of color that the digital has, somehow.ReplyDelete
Great work!ReplyDelete
I am truly torn between the Oil and the Digital.
I think for this whole exercise to be completely fair it would've been nice to see a digital piece done almost completely in the computer. I know that your favored process lately is to digitally enhance your watercolors, which is great, but in the end I think it gives an unfair advantage to the Digital.
Basically, the digital has the best of both worlds. It has all of the free-hand expressiveness of the watercolor and all the vivid color and clarity of a digital painting.
So, for me the digital wins. But, as many have uttered before me, if you went back into the oil and added the missing elements (bullets, ricochet, warmth, a few hard edges, and some smoke simplicity) I'm sure it would win hands down!
As a side note, I don't think that guy has a chance! :)
Thanks for sharing... always an inspiration.
I like the oil best.ReplyDelete
At this point I can't really say much more than what others have said but I will add my 2 cents anyways. I really love some of the textures you get in the oil, especially in the foreground elements. What is missing (like everyone else said) is the contrast and warmth. Also- in your digital I think you have a greater variety of stroke and texture that you could have brought into your oil piece. Especially on the smoke. All in all, I don't think there's any really important difference in the mediums (oil vs. digital), but only how you handled certain elements in them which could have easily been brought over to the oil. Still- they are both stunning. Thanks for sharing the process!ReplyDelete
Digital. I love the oil, but the digital has more life to it somehow.ReplyDelete
I think they are all successful for different reasons. The watercolour offers a nice colour palette. I like the feel of it. It has an earthy atmosphere, which I think handles well with the concept of man vs. machine. even though the machine is very large, the man almost seems to have nature on his side, by your colour choice here. It also has a romantic feeling, which is very closely tied to the idea of machine and man. An epic battle.ReplyDelete
The oil I think is a nice colour study. I like this exploration of tone and contrast but I think it lacks the punch this piece needs, namely some saturated warms in the machine, contrasting hue rather than value. It reads better than the watercolour, however. But I like the atmosphere here better than both the watercoour and the digital piece. It has the contrast the watercolour is lacking, and carries a character of mark making the digital piece lacks. I think you should stick with the oil piece but punch up the warms, which may lead to some other changes, not sure, everything's relative.
The digital one, though it reads better than the rest of them, seems almost too polished to me. I like them all, don't get me wrong, they are all successful;, I think. They tell the story clearly, yet I would like to see the final digital and watercolour piece translated into oils simply for the element of tactile inclusion for more character.
Awesome process, very inspiring.
Hey man, first of all amazing work dude, i really like your work! Secondly i tried to get your email on your website but couldn't find it. Im interested in buying if still available the battle of the five armies. If its not available i would like a large print of it. The reason is that i am going to use it so i can get a tattoo of painting on my right arm. Just thought you would like to know that. :) ill be waiting for your reply :)ReplyDelete
Sorry man, oils.ReplyDelete
I can´t decide...! LOLReplyDelete
I agree with the general sentiment that they each have merit and it being difficult to choose. I would say that it would require a context to pick one over the other.ReplyDelete
For example, on the cover of an anthology of short stories, I would say the digital, but I would love to see internal illustrations in a novel all in the style of the watercolor - the faded, archaic feel contrasts nicely with the futuristic subject matter. But if I had to choose one to put in a large frame on my wall, it would be the oil.
For me, the digital emphasizes the action, the watercolor emphasizes the setting, and the oil synthesizes the two.
I would agree with Rick that tinges of red and orange in the oil would lend it an even greater strength.
i love lamp... I mean, er, digital.ReplyDelete
They all rock but I think the contrast is better in the digital piece, its a little more dramatic.
Okay...it's all been said by this point...what's the grand total? And when are you gonna post another masterpiece?ReplyDelete
Oh...and I vote for "digitally enhanced watercolor".
Hate to say it man, but my vote is still for the Digital stuff. Your oils are getting better and closer, but I feel that until you have that crisp value structure and color intensity you are able to get with the digital, its no competition. When I look at the two side by side, The first thing i think of is "is the mech. suit powered down in the oil painting?" For now I think its still a make or break situation.ReplyDelete
less plastic.
more drama than just the watercolor.
oil.... no... oil with digi highlights, the highlights make the digi, but the oil holds the... touchy touch ... and then some.ReplyDelete
Insanely cool!ReplyDelete
oil! really nice!ReplyDelete
Tremendous!! The Oil version it´s the best!ReplyDelete
My answer would depend on what sort of use or project this was for. If I were buying to hang on my wall, oil. If I wanted interiors for an illustrated book, watercolor. If I wanted a cover for a book, digital.ReplyDelete
Brilliant study :)ReplyDelete
I'm going to say digital this round!
I think i prefer the watercolor version.ReplyDelete
Although the oil and digital versions have more details.
I like the watercolor tonality.
But all of them are great, as all of your works.ReplyDelete
wonderful! i'm a sucker for the oilReplyDelete
All three are great. The watercolor has a lot of promise, but you have yet to push your values as you seem to do so readily in the other media. Getting your darks dark will give a lot more life and glow to the watercolor piece.ReplyDelete
I think this is an unfair comparison. First, oils here, as many pointed out, aren't explored to their full potential (you could use more glazing, add some warm colors, and so on). Also, I compared the watercolor painting and the digital one side-by-side and it seems the watercolor piece was used as an underpainting for the digital one (you can even see the borders are there) - naturally, this borrows digital art the texture and some depth it lacks.ReplyDelete
Also, no color correction with your oil painting... it doesn't seem like a wise idea to me. Oil has a certain glare that distorts colors when scanned, and I'm sure the original oil piece is much brighter than the one you scanned.
I know this post is nearly a year old, but I wanted to add my two cents. The texture of the brush work in the oil is too good to pass up. It adds a grittiness to the work that enhances the feel of the setting. I feel that the digital feels too polished. It needs more. The watercolor has beautiful line work, in the mechanical robot, and better contrast than the oil. I hope you don't mind, but I played around with combining the watercolor and oil paintings in photoshop using blending modes and added a dodge/burn layer over the top for contrast adjustments, and I think it marries the two beautifully... I sent you an email with the result. What do you think?ReplyDelete

they all have a charm of there own. But Im a water color man. Plus oil paintings nice as they look have there durability problems. Half the artist doing mtg cards are working digital. The time difference is astounding. But no real painting to hold.

ToGoSpa Society March 2015 Review and Unboxing!
8 comments:
omg - thank you for this! I love those eye gels and have swapped for them. This is a cool sub! LOVE IT!ReplyDeleteReplies
You're so welcome!! Their products are absolutely outstanding!!Delete
Waah! This looks fun!ReplyDeleteReplies
It is!! HAHA :) I love that they include a realy nice value "gift" product each month- the face masks retail at $35 for a package of 3, so to see them as the free gift in the march box was really impressive!Delete
I just looked up this company after seeing the ToGo eye gels on a blog. So nice to see a positive review about them & what a great deal with the extra masks!ReplyDeleteReplies
I totally agree! I was so surprised to see the masks packaged that way, but they are a pretty thick gel-consistency just like the eye gels, so there would be no way to fold them. I thought the masks would slide right off my face but they stick amazingly well! I would defnitely recommend at least trying a month of this service due to the fantastic products and the generous free gift each month!Delete
I've never seen a facial mask packaged like that before - very intriguing. I love eye gels like this! Want! Ahhhhh!ReplyDeleteReplies
hahah you should totally get a month and try it or yourself! They make it super customizable so you know what you're getting, but the free gift is always a great value and leaves a little mystery as well!Delete

Did you go to One Spark? What did you think? How many projects did you see? Did you take the Skyway? Did you eat at the One Spark Food Village or try out a Downtown restaurant? Did you check out the Entertainment District?
Tell us about your experience. Then read our blog with coverage from the festival.
I had the pleasure of being a co-Creator in the first ever One Spark in Jacksonville with Beach Life Rentals. I went with no expectations of what it would be like. I was raised right in Atlantic Beach and One Spark absolutely blew me away! I cannot say enough amazing things about the experience and the event as a whole. I made many great connections and I left with even more friends. I was located on the Riverwalk, just West of The Landing; all of the vendors were so very freindly, by the end of the weekend it was they were our family. The volunteer staff were a wonderful help, they were very knowledgeable about what was going on and were very quick to lend a hand. I especially want to thank the men and woman of law enforcement and to everyone involved in making One Spark the success it was. JSO was spectacular, they were very professional and really cared about the city, the people and the event taking place. Officer Read (Reed maybe) was an especially great help to us and I feel an asset to our reviving city and community, he provided many people, including myself with helpful information and a friendly smile. The enitre JSO force felt as if they were there to provide us with security and order, not as a force of Marshall Law, furthermore their professialism and their apparent love for The Bold New City of the South was very comforting as a long-time citizen of Jacksonville.. Officer Read was stationed on the South end of the Water St and S Hogan St intersection.
Due to me being a creator I did not travel much and did not see too many other exhibits, though what I did see was a downtown that looked brighter and more beautiful than I have ever seen it. The entire event made me extremely proud to say this is my Home and We Are Jaguars (Son of a Jags season ticket owner since Day 1) Thursday, May 2, 2013|Report this

I've somehow managed to gather a collection of kitsuke photos from this summer that I haven't posted, so how about I'll just slap them all into one blog post rather than clog your blogger feeds by making separate posts each? Nothing special here - I have very few summer items so coording them means you'll see the same items over and over again (on the other hand it's always fun to try to coord the items in a new way so that it makes me feel I'm wearing a fresh, new outfit). :Þ
Having some fun accessorizing this otherwise plain yukata + green obi combo...
Not very visible, but I'm wearing that white + yellow polka-dots han-eri with it.
A more toned-down look.
Front detail shot.
Another simple look, regardless of the messy kitsuke I like this coord a lot.
Dun dun duuunnn - pink leopard pattern han-eri!
This is a kitsuke I put together for a summer kitsuke competition! I did not win - nowhere near - but then again it looks kind of non-summery, now that I look at it... plus I'm beginning to see lots of things I'd rather do differently.
I want some summer weather please! For inspiration purposes! XO
Front details. I love this han-eri but it's difficult to coord so that it doesn't steal all attention from the rest of the outfit.
Yukata + puffin obi. This may be my most worn combo of the whole summer. :D
As for my most worn item, I think those lace socks would be it. :D
Detail shot.
I'm eyeing another kitsuke competition at the moment, but I'm not sure if I actually have anything to send there... now the theme is free style which, although it sounds easy, kind of makes me re-think every single idea I get. Is this good enough - is it worth sending in - should it be more summer-y, since it's August and so on and so on. Can I wear the puffin obi since self-made kimono/obi are not allowed in the competition and does self-embroidered even count as self-made? Maybe I'll just wait until the autumn competitions instead...

After i finished recording that i decided to make another video for a "Whats In Your Bag" i think originally that was a tag video, but hey i thought i'd just make one regardless of being tagged. : )
The quality of the vids are quite bad due to me recording them on my webcam, i have got a camera but i've lost my charger for it >.< BUT i'm gonna a brand spanking new camera tomorow, so expect high-quality vids from now on! If anyone has any reccomendation for a good camera for vids and photos then please let me know.
One more thing, this morning i logged into my email account and for some reason i checked my spam folder even though i hardly ever check it because i usually get a load of crappy junk emails in there, anyway i saw an email off the HM Revenue and Customs people so i curiously opened the email and they said there going to do a tax refund for me for £344!

Classic contemporary icons such as the Tulip table designed for Knoll by Eero Saarinen and the Noguchi Coffee Table redefined an item of furniture which can all too often be taken for granted, but whatever the piece all top-quality vintage tables provide far more than just something to put things on.

I Can't Believe This Happened
Many, many years ago I made a commitment to be with my mother for her birthday for the rest of her life. Although I wasn't really expecting her to live this long, I have been able to adjust my schedule and be there on September 13. And because my sister from Omaha agreed to be there at the same time, we have been having a special sister's outing at the same time. My boss in my old job knew it was not negotiable - I had to be in ND on 9/13. Then I started a new job. I told my boss right up front that I needed to be with my mom for her birthday. No problem, she says. Even though the Medical Director's meeting is scheduled for that weekend, I could leave Friday night or early Saturday. So we're cool. Then I get the agenda for the medical director's meeting from our CMO (Chief Medical Officer). And guess what - I am on the agenda for a presentation to all the docs - on September 13. I never expected this and it was too late to change. Now, if the meeting was at headquarters (in Denver), I could still hop on a flight and get to Devils Lake late on 9/13. But the meeting happens to be in Virginia - an hours drive from Richmond, the nearest airport. Connecting flight. Can't leave until noon. Can't make it. Okay - Plan B - I'll fly out Monday and be with Mom all week. I told her, "I'll be there Monday night". But wait, I get a call from my boss a couple days ago and she says she arranged for us to meet with the physician team at Texas Tech University in Midland, TX, on Thursday 9/17 at 3:00. I can come right from ND, she says. Umm, let's see. Spend all day Monday getting to Devils Lake, spend time with Mom on Tuesday and spend all day Wednesday getting from DL to Fargo, to Denver, to Dallas, to Midland. Believe it or not, there are no direct flights from Fargo to Midland. I finally threw up my hands and said, "I just can't do it". I'm sorry, Mom! I'm sorry, sisters! I'll try for October, but it won't be quite the same because Evie won't be there, there will be no birthday party, and September is the very best month to be in ND. Next year I will do my best to get back on schedule. I just hope Mom makes it another year!

This Thai recipe for grilled halibut is easy and delicious. Other types of fish work with this recipe as well, whether steaks or fillets, sole or salmon. Grilled fish isn't as difficult as it seems, especially halibut, which cook easily on the grill without falling apart. The Thai marinade is put together in a matter of minutes, and as a bonus, it doubles as a glaze/dipping sauce. This fish recipe makes a quick and easy meal for everyday, but is also elegant enough to serve at your next barbecue or cookout. Enjoy!
- 2-4 halibut (steaks or fillets, or another type of white fish)
- For the Marinade Sauce:
- 1/2 cup chili sauce (Thai Sweet also see my Homemade Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe)
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 6 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup coriander (fresh chopped)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4-6 garlic cloves (or 1 tablespoon bottled pureed garlic)
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (brown or 1/2 tablespoon white sugar)
Steps to Make It
Combine all marinade/sauce ingredients together in a bowl, stirring well to dissolve the sugar.
Rinse the fish and pat dry. Place in a flat baking dish (like a glass lasagna-type casserole dish), and pour 1/3 of the marinade/sauce over. Reserve the rest for later.
Turn the fish several times, making sure all surfaces are covered in sauce. Allow to marinate at least 10 minutes, or up to 24 hours in advance (covered and refrigerated) if preparing for a dinner party.
Prepare the grill by brushing with a little oil - this will help prevent sticking. If using a fish cage to barbecue, be sure to also oil the interior surfaces of the cage.
Grilling Tips: Grill the fish for at least 3 minutes per side before attempting to turn it - this will also prevent sticking. To check whether your fish is cooked: Insert a fork into the thickest part of the steak and gently pull the meat apart. If the inner flesh is still translucent and dense (not flaky), the fish still requires a few more minutes of cooking time. When done, the inner flesh will be opaque and will flake easily.
To serve, warm up the extra marinade/sauce you reserved earlier. You needn't boil it - just warm it up (5 minutes over medium heat is enough). Serve the fish hot off the grill with the extra sauce as a dip on the side. Or, plate up the fish and spoon the sauce over. If desired, garnish with a sprinkling of fresh coriander and serve with jasmine-scented rice. ENJOY!

This interview ran in the most recent issue of Famitsu. It's about Twilight Princess HD, but there's also a couple mentions of Zelda Wii U, which I've put first, and then have the rest of the interview here as well.
We asked some questions about Zelda Wii U
–We've heard that you can use save data on the Wolf Link amiibo with Zelda Wii U…
Aonuma: It's not save data, but rather that some of the data on the Wolf Link amiibo can be used on Zelda Wii U as well. Some people who play Zelda Wii U might want to play Twilight Princess HD again, after all.
–How is development going for Zelda Wii U?
Aonuma: We're quite busy. When we were developing Skyward Sword for the Wii, during the final stages of development I was responsible for the text that would appear as spoken dialogue, and currently I'm in a similar situation. I was typing up text for the game today, actually (laughs). But we've made progress with the final product and it's working well, so it's gotten much easier for me. So in that sense, things are moving along smoothly. If I were to reveal one key idea, it would be that we've made something "new." I've been making 3D Zelda games since Ocarina of Time, and so using that game as our base has kind of been our secret ingredient, until now. But what we're making now is so different– it's like the difference between Western cuisine and Japanese cuisine. I think what we're making is something "new," just like Ocarina was when it first came out, so I hope that everyone will be shocked and surprised, and I hope you look forward to it.
Translator's thoughts: I know some people might take this to mean that Zelda Wii U is nearing the final stages of development, but I'm not so sure– I think Aonuma is just saying that what he's doing now just happens to be similar to what he was doing towards the end of Skyward Sword's development. That being said, I'm just being cautious– maybe he really does mean Zelda Wii U development is nearing an end. Also, to be clear: I don't think Aonuma is trying to say it's being Westernized, he just picked two contrasting types of food. But read into it what you will, I suppose.
Twilight Princess HD Developer Interview
We sat down with the Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma, and Twilight Princess HD assistant director Tomomi Sano to talk to them about some secrets and other hidden tidbits regarding the game.
Remaking the game to make it as fun as possible
–Please tell us the story behind how you decided to create a full HD remake of Twilight Princess.
Aonuma: Before we started development on the new Zelda game for the Wii U, someone had actually suggested that we experiment with remaking an older Zelda game in HD at the same time, and so we decided to do that with Twilight Princess. And going in chronological release order, after things had calmed down after Wind Waker HD, we started work on a Twilight Princess remaster. But, as you know, development on Zelda Wii U had started, so the Zelda team was already busy, and so the remaster project went over to the Australian development studio Tantalus (creator of Mass Effect 3: Special Edition, among other games), and with Sano handling most of the correspondence, we started development.
–Sano-san, is there a reason why you've been involved with a lot of the remakes recently?
Aonuma: She started playing the Zelda series, so she gives us a lot of suggestions based on her memories and experiences of playing the game. She can look at the games from a player and developer perspective, and her directions are usually very precise and on the money. So I've left a lot of the details to her.
–Did you give any thought to making the remaster compatible with the Wii Remote?
Aonuma: We did debate having Wii Remote capabilities for a while into development. But having the map on the Wii U Gamepad screen is so helpful, and using the Gamepad's gyro sensors to aim is like a substitute for aiming with the Wii Remote, so we decided to just focus on making the game work with the Gamepad as best we could.
Sano: Twilight Princess has a lot of open fields, and the dungeon design is pretty elaborate, so having the map open all the time and being able to look at it whenever you want is a much smoother experience.
Aonuma: Zelda games have historically required you to switch to a map menu if you wanted to look at the map, but sometimes when you open the map, the direction you're facing doesn't align with the direction of the map, and it could get confusing for people who aren't good at reading maps (laughs). Twilight Princess has a lot of "three-dimensional" dungeons, so if you can display the map on a separate screen (like Wind Waker HD or Ocarina of Time 3D) then it's a lot easier to see where you're heading, and it's a better gameplay experience.
Sano: I remember playing the original and not knowing where I had to go, and getting lost for two hours (laughs). But the puzzles I'd have to solve were so much fun that I knew it was worth it, so I knew I couldn't give up. So to get you there quickly, in Twilight Princess HD we've worked on adding a lot of subtle changes that players might not notice, but make the game better.
–Have you changed the directions and tips in the game as well?
Sano: Yes. Although I'm not sure if many people will notice (laughs). But every character is very unique and has a lot of good lines, so we were careful to keep the personalities of the characters intact, while making navigating your way across the world a bit better.
Aonuma: We want it to be easy to understand, but there's still a little resistance, or obfuscation. We wanted to preserve the feel of the game for those who have already played it, but to also make it fun for first-time players, so we worked hard to fix the parts that were hard to play.
Making Hyrule look "real" doesn't make it look good
–I think one of the unique things about the Twilight Realm is that there's a coarseness, a roughness to it, so did you have some problems preserving that aesthetic while making everything much sharper and clearer in HD?
Sano: It was difficult for us to resist making it look too photorealistic. Tantalus is really good at making games look photorealistic, but at first it looked too real, and I thought it wasn't really the look we wanted to go for…(laughs).
Aonuma: The original Twilight Princess isn't a realistic looking game. The aesthetic of Twilight Princess emulates "gekiga," not real life, and that was what we were aiming for. That's why we didn't really look at Link as a human being, really, but more as a character, we wanted to bring out the realism of that character, in a gekiga-style way.*
Translator's Note: The Wikipedia article is pretty good, but basically it's a type of Japanese manga that's much more realistic and serious compared to manga at the time.
Sano: The balance of that "realism" is pretty hard to put into words. So we had the original art director Satoru Takizawa oversee all of this stuff, communicating to Tantalus, "Let's make this look sharp," or "let's put a little more bokeh on this," for example. But there's a language barrier…
Aonuma: In English, bokeh has a very specific meaning, compared to its more flexible meaning in Japanese. So they interpreted it as "make it less focused," which is of course accurate, but didn't really have the nuance that we intended. It made me think, "Wow, Japanese is so convenient" (laughs).
Sano: Because of that, we'd have video conference calls with the people at Tantalus, and when our words failed we'd just draw pictures for each other.
–Is it easier to communicate with drawings?
Sano: A picture is worth a thousand words, truly. But there were times when words were more effective than pictures, so even though it was hard to communicate, it was also fun.
The "Cave of Shadows" mini-dungeon– a test from Aonuma to Sano?
–Can you talk about your intent and the story behind creating the Cave of Shadows?
Aonuma: Well, it's actually a pretty awful story on my part (chuckles). Because it's a remake, I said "let's add something new to go with the Wolf Link and Midna amiibo," but I couldn't come up with a good idea. So I just told Sano to "go think of something."
–You passed the responsibility straight onto her?
Aonuma: Basically (laughs).
Sano: It was like someone had thrown a 100mph fastball at me, so I felt like I couldn't say anything but "yes, sir."
–It was quite sudden, after all.
Sano: I was thinking about what to do, and replaying the original at the same time, when I realized that even enemies you only encounter in human form were designed so that you could fight them in wolf form as well. Then I thought, if we starting making some new combinations, we could make a challenge where it would be fine to fight enemies only in wolf form, and I talked to the people at Tantalus. They were very fired up, and told us "we'll make something really fun that even people who are die-hard Zelda fans will enjoy!" And then I played it, and it was really hard (laughs).
–So it's really for the die-hard fans, then (laughs).
Sano: The foundation was really solid, though, so we adjusted the difficulty a bit so that even people who aren't great at action games could complete it while using the Wolf Link amiibo to get their hearts back.
Aonuma: This is pretty rare for me, but I actually beat the dungeon too, before the game was released. Although I used amiibo and had a lot of other help (laughs).
Sano: On the other hand, if you use the Ganondorf amiibo, you take double the damage, so people who are looking for an even harder challenge should do that. When you clear the dungeon, it'll record how long it took you, along with data on which floor you used an amiibo and how many times you did so. If you use it on the first basement floor and then clear the dungeon, please post your results on Miiverse.
–Finally, do you have anything you'd like to say to our readers who are looking forward to this game?
Sano: Regardless of whether you last played Twilight Princess 10 years ago, or are going to play it for the first time, I feel like we've made a game that lets you explore Hyrule in a new way, so please have fun and enjoy it at your leisure.
Aonuma: When I look at this game while developing Zelda Wii U, it really makes me feel like a lot of the things we're doing in the new game have their roots here. I think that if you play Twilight Princess HD and then Zelda Wii U, there will be parts that make you think "Oh! I remember this!", so please enjoy Twilight Princess HD while waiting for Zelda Wii U to come out.

2013 brings the second annual #Giving Tuesday, observed on the Tuesday after the overblown consumption of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Find a way to give something back to family, friends, community, the world.
Make a Gift Day gets to a basic sentiment of the holiday season. A homemade gift comes from the heart. Cookies, crafts, personalized coupons - the choices are endless.
National Roof Over Your Head Day is a time to be grateful if you have a roof over your head, and an opportunity to help those who don't.
International Day of Persons with Disabilities was founded in 1992 by the United Nations, "to promote an understanding of disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities."

Hootsuite's Social Profile Picker is a powerful tool for efficiently sharing messages with your social networks. You'll find it in the top-left corner of the dashboard beside the compose message box.
Note: YouTube channels don't appear in the Social Profile Picker, as YouTube video uploads are done separately, and then shared out to other social profiles afterwards.
Search social profiles
Quickly find the social profile you want by type-searching the username.
Start entering the social profile username, and then select the profile from the results that populate. The number count in the right of the box increases as you select more social profiles.
Pin social profiles
Try pinning the social profiles you use every day. This auto-selects the profiles each time you compose a message.
Hover your mouse over a social profile, and then click the pin icon . An upright pin means the social profile is pinned; an angled pin means unpinned.
Temporarily deselect a pinned social profile by clicking it in the list, when you want to send a message to only a few social profiles.
Mark social profiles as favourites
Boost messaging efficiency by marking commonly used social profiles as favourites. This reorders your social profile list to display the favourites at the top for quick access, and eliminates having to scroll through the list.
Hover your mouse over a social profile, and then click the star icon . A yellow star means favorite; a transparent star means unfavorite.
Select all your favorites at once by clicking the Select arrow and then clicking Favorites.
Select social profiles by team
Members of teams in an organization can easily select all social profiles managed by that team in just two clicks.
Click the Select arrow and then select the team from the list.
Add social networks
You can add social networks to your dashboard from your streams, your user profile and from the Social Profile Picker.
To add a social network
- Scroll to the bottom of your social profile list, and then click Add social network.
- Organization members: Click Select Destination to add the social network to an organization or your Private Social Networks.
- Select the social network.
- Click Connect, and then authorize the account.
To quickly find the Add social network button, enter a series of letters (aaa) into the Social Profile Picker so that only Add social network appears in the list. Then press the Down Arrow key on your keyboard, and press ENTER.
Seamlessly toggle from the Social Profile Picker to the Compose Message box by pressing Tab on your keyboard.
