Protecting Trees and Shrubs
During winter, the threat of snow or ice damage is always near for trees and shrubs, warned Sharon Yiesla, a University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator.
"One way to prevent damage to trees and shrubs is by removing snow after each snowfall," said Yiesla. "This helps to prevent snow from piling up to dangerously heavy loads.
"When removing snow, try to gently brush it off. Don't shake the branches as this may cause them to break. This is especially true for evergreens which can collect excessive amounts of snow."
Yiesla noted that if snow is frozen on the branch and will not brush off easily, it is best to let it melt naturally, to avoid damage to the tree or shrub.
"Relatively little can be done to prevent ice damage," she said. "On small-to-medium evergreen shrubs, pour warm--not hot--water over the ice to attempt to loosen it. This will not always be effective. It can also be a messy process since the water will freeze below the plant and may become a safety hazard if people are walking nearby."
If tree limbs break due to the weight of ice or snow, it is advisable to have the broken limbs removed as soon as the weather permits. Hanging branches can be a danger to passing pedestrians.
"The tree will be able to heal the wound better in spring, if the wound has clean edges, instead of ragged tears," she noted.

Here are some of the links to other Cyrano-related sites. Like I said, there's not a lot of them, but some of these might interest you . . .
Voyage dan La Lune (a real book written by the real Cyrano!)
Cyrano de Bergerac starring Jose Ferrer (1950)
Cyrano de Bergerac TV show (1985)
Cyrano de Bergerac starring Gerard Depardieu (1990)
(the movie pages change dynamically, so I can't offer links to them!)
Movie review by Roger Ebert (12/25/1990)
Cyrano de Begerac, like most good plays, has been made into numerous movies. The original movie came out in 1950, and garnered Jose Ferrer an Academy Award. This version of the play, by far, is the most true to Rostand's Cyrano. A must see!
Other versions followed, the latest being Gerard Depardieu in the 1990 version of "Cyrano de Bergerac", but this wasn't nearly the film that Jose Ferrer did. While it might be said that the 1990 Cyrano had more accurate costumes and dialog (with the 1950 version being somewhat on the campy side), Depardieu as Cyrano was somewhat lacking.
(aside: You wouldn't believe how much email I get on this - people seem to really like the Depardieu version!)
Although I initially thought they didn't "enhance" his nose, I've been told they did make it larger. And although I've had several people email me to say that his nose was large enough, I don't feel it was.
As minor as this might seem, the nose of Cyrano was the prime physical characteristic of the play. While Depardieu's nose is on the large side, one can hardly consider it to be the same as the "grotesque protuberance" that Cyrano possessed. Would children run away from Depardieu's nose? I think not!
Despite these drawbacks, after viewing the film again recently, I found myself enjoying the Depardieu version. While I don't think he quite captures the wit that Ferrer does, his passion and delivery of the lines is quite good. The Roxanne in this version is perhaps more true to the original text as well (I'm not sure how many blonds there were in France at that time, as the Ferrer version would suggest!)
A contemporary remake of this film can be found in the movie "Roxanne", starring Steve Martin and Darryl Hannah (for which Martin received a Golden Globe nomination). This movie was quite good, casting Martin as fireman CD Bales, Hannah as aspiring astronomy student Roxanne, and Rick Rossovich as Chris, a fellow fireman who is big in the brawn, but bereft in the brain. Martin also wrote the movie version, and his comic wit shines nicely in this film. Here is a short review of the film from a Steve Martin site that I found. Take a look!
"Comic genius Steve Martin delivers an incredible performance as an engaging small town fire chief who has only one tiny flaw - no, make that one HUGE flaw - his astonishingly long nose. Although he considers it no laughing matter, the hilarity never stops as C.D. Bales (Martin) contends with jerky nose jokes, a bumbling crew of firemen, and his secret love for gorgeous astronomy student Roxanne (Daryl Hannah). Unfortunately, she's attracted to fireman Chris (Rick Rossovich), who's tall on looks and short on conversation. And when C.D. agrees to coach the dumbstruck Chris in his pursuit of the fair maiden, this ticklish triangle dissolves into a hilarious series of rib-tickling romantic misadventures. A contemporary love story of mistaken identity and unrequited love, ROXANNE is an unforgettable comedy that Siskel & Ebert & The Movies calls 'A comic masterpiece.' "
Perhaps one of the best parts of the film is Martins re-working of the classic "nose jokes" from Cyrano. Observe...
The 25 nose jokes from the movie Roxanne
1. Obvious: "Excuse me, is that your nose, or did a bus park on your face?"
2. Meteorological: "Everybody take cover, she's going to blow!"
3. Fashionable: "You know, you could de-emphasize your nose if you wore something larger, like Wyoming."
4. Personal: "Well, here we are, just the three of us."
5. Punctual: "All right Dellman, your nose was on time, but you were fifteen minutes late."
6. Envious: "Ooh, I wish I were you, to be able to smell your own ear."
7. Naughty: "Pardon me sir, some of the ladies have asked if you wouldn't mind putting that thing away."
8. Philosophical: "You know, it's not the size of a nose that's important, it's what's in it what matters."
9. Humorous: "Laugh and the world laughs with you; sneeze and it's good-bye Seattle."
10. Commercial: "Hi, I'm Earl Scheib, and I can paint that nose fo Thirty-Nine Ninety-Five."
11. Polite: "Ah, would you mind not bobbing your head? The, ah,orchestra keeps changing tempo."
12. Melodic: (Everybody) "He's got the whole world.. in his nose."
13. Sympathetic: "Ooh, what happened, did your parents lose a bet with God?"
14. Complimentary: "You must love the little birdies to give them this to perch on."
15. Scientific: "Say, does that thing there influence the tides?"
16. Obscure: "Hoo, I'd hate to see the grindstone."
17. Enquiry: "When you stop and smell the flowers, are they afraid?"
18. French: "Sir, ze pigs have refused to find any more truffles until you leave."
19. Pornographic: "Finally, a man can satisfy two women at once."
20. Religious: "The Lord giveth, and he just kept on giving, didn't he?"
21. Disgusting: "Say, who mows your nose hair?"
22. Paranoid: "Keep that guy away from my cocaine."
23. Romantic: "It must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee ... in Brazil."
24. Appreciative: "Ooh how original, most people have their teeth capped."
25. Dirty: "Your name wouldn't be ... Dick, would it?"

Know-how: General: Acquired by holding company
A holding company may acquire know-how for use in trades carried on by its subsidiary companies. If this happens the holding company may qualify for capital allowances as the know- how is also used in its trade of providing management services to its subsidiaries. The standard definition of know-how in CA70010 must be satisfied and so expenditure on commercial know- how will not qualify.

Good luck to whoever "bought" the Ventura! I hope the price was extremely low. She was pretty much a wreck when dad had his boat at the SBC 40 odd years ago. I'm extremely surprised she's still floating. If I remember rightly she had a new back end put on her at some stage.
No luck with the dinghy on our berth?

Mini Dioramas off to Illinois
This little lakeside scene makes use of the impressive Solid Water two-part resin that can be formed into undulating shapes as it hardens. Then, using Making Waves, ripple and wave effects can be created on the surface. They're both really easy to use and give terrific results when fully cured.
I've been using Glue n Glaze for a while now, on all manner of projects, but this industrial-style window frame (from a Wills kit) is a good platform on which to show off the product's potential.
Scenic Rust has also been around for a few years now and it's a great resource when carefully applied, such as on this Bachmann boiler barrel, set into a scrap yard scene. The real rust particles give the surface not only an ultra-realistic colouring but also a welcome texture. Some extra weathering has been added to mix a bit of dirt and grime onto the surface for that final touch.
You may have noticed that each scene has been created using the plastic packaging provided with Oxford Diecast road vehicles (with the clear lids in place, they are perfect for storing and transporting the scenes), rather like the small veg patch scene that featured in the pages of Model Rail a few months ago.

Unit Shifter
The past week has seen much progress on a couple of modern DMU projects, most notably the Network Rail Class 150 conversion. All new parts have been added and a priming coat applied and a little extra work with filler and abrasives is now needed before a white undercoat follows prior to the bright yellow livery.
So far, it's been a joy to fit the various bits of brass and, once the painting's over with, the small cameras and equipment boxes can be built-up and fitted to the cabs. Things are getting a little 'tight', however, as press day is not too far away and I do hate to rush...
Also on the go concurrently is a Bachmann 2-car Turbostar that has been completely stripped and rebuilt due to 'accident damage'. It used to be in Porterbrook white/purple (as featured in Model Rail a few years back) before it's misadventure, but will soon be transformed into a fictional livery. Well, not entirely fictional.... watch this space!

Network Rail Class 150 to begin
Now recently returned from a week away in sunny Devon, I feel refreshed and reinvigorated to get cracking on a number of practical projects that have been awaiting my attention for a while. First up is a conversion kit for the Bachmann Class 150 DMU, to turn it into the Network Rail track testing unit.
This is another superb offering from PH Designs and it looks to be an enjoyable, if potentially labour-intensive, project. For a start, the model will need to be stripped and fully prepared before any of the cutting and filling can commence and that is what will be filling my first day back at 'the office'.
Although I'm not keen on the livery, it's always a shame to strip away a finely-applied factory finish, as is sported on this Central Trains 150.

Masahiro Tanaka demands your full attention. I don't care if you're glued to the TV watching the Rangers march through the playoffs. It doesn't matter what golf tournament is on (Tiger isn't playing yet anyway). Your basketball season has been over for months if you're a Knick fan (and for weeks if you're a Net fan, or anyone else not Miami and San Antonio). The World Cup hasn't started yet and football is still in hibernation. Masahiro Tanaka wants you to watch baseball now.
I remember feeling like this before. In 1978, Yankee fans watched as their defending champs stumbled through the beginning of the season with the exception of every fifth day. That was when Ron Guidry took the mound and created a dominant pitching performance that compelled you to watch. He didn't lose a game until July that year (he ended up losing three); finished what he started 16 times with nine shut outs and an absurd 1.74 ERA. Lots of luck finding a starter that can begin 16 games without a trip to the DL now.
(Post Break: Beth Aaron's Sweet Sixteen, held on June 17, 1978 coincided with a Guidry start against the Angels. At the party, all the Yankee fans were anxiously kept in the dark (in those pre-internet days) until we got home and found out that Guidry struck out 18 batters. That Saturday night was the first time Yankee Stadium fans started clapping when a batter had two strikes. I was not happy I missed that game.)
Tanaka, has taken baseball by storm this year, going 10-1 with an AL leading 2.02 ERA and making Yankee fans remember what it's like to watch a pitcher at the top of his game. In this era of relief specialization, Tanaka has shunned the bullpen, twice completing games and going as deep into the game as Yankee Manager Joe Girardi's binder will let him. He's averaging over seven innings an appearance and averages over a strikeout and inning. But it's his aura, like Guidry in '78 that compels you to tune in. Something special can happen any time he's on the mound and you don't want to miss a thing. Yankee fans can only hope for a 1978 redux (maybe without the 14 1⁄2 game comeback).
At a time when the Yankees are sliding their way back to pre-1995 mediocrity, Tanaka could be the bridge between the Jeter Era and whatever comes next. But for now, we'll just watch.
Just Sayin'
Who is making Rangers D Dan Girardi's sticks – ACME Toothpick Company? If I'm Derek Fisher, I'm pumping up that Carmelo-to-Miami talk so Melo opts out. There's no room for a 30 year-old ball hog in the triangle.
Jon Beason, we hardly knew ye . . .
Fantasy Football Update: I'm trying to get over the fact that I'm still watching hockey and I've already received my pre-season projections email. I can't be behind in preparing already – can I?
World Cup Update: Fearless prediction is that someone not ranked in the top five will win this year, so farewell Spain, Germany, Brazil, Portugal and Argentina – hello Italy? Belgium?

Too much on my mind lately.
*5 mins*
I don't know where to start. I miss talking to you. The times when I could just pick up the phone and call without having to think that I'm disturbing. A place to leash out my anger, frustrations or just share stories. I feel myself closing in, confining my thoughts to myself more. Or maybe, I've been thinking/hoping too much lately.
Happy Holidays :)

A wonderful BRITISH FILM LOCATION for "HOUSE STYLE: FIVE CENTURIES OF FASHION AT CHATSWORTH", EXHIBITION sponsored by GUCCI.
"This is the most rock'n'roll place I have ever been," said Alessandro Michele, designer of Gucci taking his place as guest of honour at a lunch in the Chatsworth sculpture gallery.
Sponsored by Gucci, Chatsworth House Style is an exhibition exploring five centuries of the fashion worn by the aristocratic residents of stately home Chatsworth in Devonshire. The show runs until October 22, 2017.

As we continue our recovery and cleanup efforts, please visit the Emergency website for the latest information on openings and closings in Miami-Dade County.
Reading a Water Meter
If you receive a high water bill, or think there may be a leak in or around your home, a good place to start the leak detection procedure is at the water meter. View the video below:
Typically, the water meter is located in the front yard, near the street or sidewalk. Use a screwdriver to remove the meter-box lid. Then flip the meter lens cap to expose the meter face.
Dirt may need to be removed to expose the meter dial. The meter face will look similar to the diagram below.
To determine if the meter has been misread, copy down the numbers on the meter's register. (The register looks similar to a car odometer.)
Compare the numbers on the register to your "Current Reading" on your utility bill. The reading from the register should be equal to or higher than the "Current Reading."
If the reading on the meter is lower than the reading listed on your bill, the meter may have been misread. Please contact Customer Relations at 305-665-7477 for a re-read and corrected bill.
If the meter reading is substantially higher than the reading on your bill, there may be a water leak.
Locating the leak
Most meter faces have a flow indicator (small in size, red or black in color, triangular in shape - see graphic above). If there is no water being used at the time of inspection, and the flow indicator is moving or spinning, there may be a leak somewhere in or around your home.
Not all leaks are big and clearly noticeable. If the meter does not have a flow indicator or the flow indicator is not moving, continue with these steps to further evaluate the situation:
1. Write down the numbers on the meter's register. Do not use any water for two hours, then take another reading from your meter's register. Compare it to the first reading. If the second reading is higher, there may be a leak.
2. To pinpoint whether the leak is coming from inside or outside the home, close the house valve (generally located on an outside wall where the water line enters the home, or near the water heater).
3. Repeat Step 1. If the meter continues to move, the leak may be outside the home in the service line that leads from the meter to the home, or in any water-using device that may be hooked to the system outside the home.
4. If the meter does not move after your second test, the leak may be inside the home.

LANSING, Mich.—The state Senate approved legislation Thursday that clarifies procedures for properly disposing of deceased fetuses in Michigan, Sen. Mike Green said.
Senate Bill 25 establishes requirements for the proper disposal of fetal remains. Under SB 54, physicians would be required to inform parents that state law mandates them to authorize the final disposition of their baby.
"It is unconscionable that babies are being thrown in dumpsters like pieces of trash," said Green, R-Mayville. "Human life is sacred and should be treated as such, and these bills will make sure those who disrespect fetal remains are punished accordingly."
Violators of the proposed laws would face a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for improperly disposing of fetal remains.
The measures stem from a case in 2010 where human baby remains were found in the dumpster of an abortion clinic in Eaton County. The case is still under investigation, but based on current state law no charges have been brought against the clinic.
The bills passed by a vote of 33-5 and now go to the state House for consideration.

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's lead over Republican Donald Trump in Virginia has narrowed to five points, according to a new poll, despite the fact that Trump is no longer actively campaigning in the state.
The poll, conducted by Winthrop University, found Trump leading Clinton 44 to 39 percent. Five percent of respondents favored Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson, while the Green Party's Jill Stein and independent candidate Evan McMullin each managed 2 percent of likely voters.
"With several negative 'October surprises' coming out and affecting both candidates, we have seen a tightening of the race in national polls," Winthrop University Poll Director Scott Huffmon said in a statement. "However, while Clinton's lead in Virginia has shrunk from its highest point, she still leads Donald Trump in the Commonwealth."

Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, is a Virginia senator and former governor of the state.
The Winthrop poll surveyed 712 likely voters by cellphone and landline telephone Oct. 23-30. The poll has a 3.6 percentage point margin of error. The results of the poll are consistent with the RealClearPolitics average, which also shows Clinton clinging to a five-point lead.

In the past few days, the Clinton campaign has witnessed even its largest leads dwindle away, and some polls even show Trump pulling ahead.
For the first time since May, Trump leads in the ABC News/Washington Post national tracking poll, 46 to 45 percent. For reference, Clinton held a 12-point lead, 50 to 38 percent, in the poll just more than one week ago.

Trump's lead is especially telling given the national poll's disparity in the sampling between Democrats and Republicans. Some 38 percent of those polled identified themselves as Democrats while 28 percent said they were Republicans. The poll even included more independents than Republicans, with 29 percent.
In addition to the disparate sampling, the poll is telling for a few other reasons. For one, the methodology of the poll shows that the number of self-identified Democrats who intend to vote for Trump continues to increase.
In May, Trump garnered the support of 5 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning voters, but in the most recent poll, his support almost doubled.
Trump has gained an advantage in five designated toss-up states — Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Utah — with an edge of 48 percent to Clinton's 41, though ABC News dismissed the lead as "not a significant difference given the 5.5-point error margin at this sample size."
The ABC News poll also shows enthusiasm among Clinton supporters has declined 7 percent, most notably after FBI Director James Comey reopened the investigation into her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state. Only 45 percent of Clinton's supporters are strongly enthusiastic about voting for her, compared with 53 percent of Trump supporters who say they are strongly enthusiastic.
Advertisement - story continues below
In Virginia, voters appear deeply divided between Clinton and Trump, though Huffmon seemed to imply that more Democrats are likely to vote Trump than Republicans are to vote Clinton.
"Virginia voters don't have a particularly favorable view of either Trump or Clinton. While Clinton's favorability with her base is stronger than Trump's, Republicans aren't likely to cross party lines to vote for someone who 93 percent of them view unfavorably," he said.
According to data from the poll, 95 percent of Virginia Republicans and 60 percent of all the state's voters believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, suggesting that Clinton may be in for a surprise in Virginia.

Cool vid, always like the non football and basketball sports getting love.
On the subject of hype videos, anyone (Brian, Tim/Paul) know when the official 2010 MGoBlog hype video will be premiering?
and the volleyball team, but didn't the non-conference winning streak come to an end against Oregon State in Crisler last season?
August 4th, 2010 at 10:04 PM ^
Yeah, OS had this huge hitter rack up like 50 kills (slight exaggeration but not really) in the match. We head to OS this year as a return trip.
August 4th, 2010 at 10:17 PM ^
In the video, they reference their 52 game non-conference unbeaten streak and I was wondering how they could say that after the OS loss. But then I realized they didn't say it was alive and it did reach 52, so it's technically correct I was just interpreting it wrong.
August 4th, 2010 at 11:02 PM ^
College volleyball is the only watchable womens sport as far as I'm concerned.They look like women(as opposed to little girls or men)...Hot ones(more often than not).Especially when they're in M gear.
...Love those shorts!
August 5th, 2010 at 12:48 AM ^
We have one of the most attractive, and talented, vollyball teams in the country, as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to miss Paz and Bower, for many reasons!

This is a great website to utilize for all your nutrition needs. MyPyramid.gov
I felt that since the Dietary Guidelines are soon to be revised in 2010 (they are revised every 5 years by the Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services.) why not provide some helpful info to get you acquainted with the Guidelines in the first place.
A great tool is to go to the MyPyramid Plan and find out the amount of each food group you need daily. You will most likely be amazed how little you consume vs. what you think you consume daily.
Also worth checking out, MyPyramid Tracker.
The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee just met in Washington D.C during the end of April and the meeting was held via Webinar if you would like to watch.
Keep in mind that these are just "guidelines" and that you may need to adjust according to your activity level, or specific health condition.

This is real Hillary Clinton.
Oppenheimer alleges that Hillary Rodham — then Bill Clinton's girlfriend — called adviser Paul Fray a "Jew bastard" to his face on election night. Bill Clinton lost the race for Arkansas' 3rd Congressional District to incumbent Rep. John Paul Hammerschmidt by 6,000 votes out of 190,000 cast.
Oppenheimer stood by his account on Sunday. "Three witnesses have now publicly acknowledged that she said it," Oppenheimer said.
The three people identified by Oppenheimer told CNN that Rodham uttered the slur.
Source : CNN Archives.
In one particularly shocking passage in the book, Oppenheimer quotes a campaign official who describes an angry attack by Hillary in which she screams at him, "You fucking Jew bastard!"
Two sourced eyewitnesses confirmed to Oppenheimer that they heard the verbal assault.

Are you keeping everyone HAPPY?September 6, 2008
1. Treat your attendants like the friends they are and not like servants.
2. Trust your mom with at least one major job(working with the florist, tracking RSVP's.
3. Ask your dad's opinion about something important – the menu, the wine, whether Aunt Velma will be offended if the band plays heavy metal, whatever – so he knows he is a vital part of the day and not just a check writing machine.
4. Let your vendors do what they do best; resist the urge to micromanage.
5. Create a registry that fits everyone's budget; include some group gifts.
6. Choose outfits that all of your bridesmaids can afford.
7. Limit the break between the ceremony and reception to no more than one hour.
8. Arrange pre- and post- reception transportation for guests who can't- or don't want to- drive.
9. Personally greet every guest at the ceremony or reception.
10. Make sure the music isn't so loud that it drowns out conversation.
11. Have cool drinks, fans, and shade ready, if hot weather is in the forecast.
12. Offer a vegetarian entree choice if you know several guest are not meat eaters.
13. It's a long day for everyone, so start on time and keep the toasts to a minimum.
14. Don't forget to feed your photographer and the band; sandwiches are just fine.
15. Be kind to the singles. Don't throw them all together at one big table – being unmarried or dateless isn't a conversation starter. Instead, seat them with people, unaccompanied or not, who share similar interests or backgrounds and with whom they'll be compatible.

Greetings, my first post (moved from NEC, got zero responses):
We have a CL1 DIV2 space with a 480V, 3-phase, ceiling mounted heater, which contains a 1/2HP 480V 3-ph fan motor. The heater was not ordered with the on-board disconnecting means (it is a 15 kW Ruffneck FX5-480-360-150-WT). NEC 2017 sections 424, 422 and 430 are all cross-referenced when you try to decode this.
The heater branch circuit originates in a control panel outdoors, outside the hazardous area. The incoming 480V line to this panel hits a distribution block, then feeds the control transformer, a starter, and the correctly-sized, panel-mounted, 25A 3P breaker that serves this heater.
My question is, may I put the disconnecting means outside the hazardous area to avoid the expensive explosion proof disconnect? Is there any chance this 25A breaker in the control panel can serve as the disconnecting means? My thinking is no, as below. I think the disconnect has to be within sight, and therefore explosion proof, but it's confusing.
Since the unit does not have the on-board disconnect, and no supplementary O.C. protection, I think you end up at 424.19 (B) (2), which requires a disconnecting means within sight, or compliant with 424.19 (A) (2).
Then 424.19 (A) (2) allows either (1), a disconnect within sight and compliant with 430 Part IX,
Or (2) "Where a motor(s) of more than 1∕8 hp and the heater are provided with a single unit switch that complies with 422.34(A), (B), (C), or (D), the disconnecting means shall be permitted to be out of sight from the motor controller."
But 422.34 (D "other occupancy") only applies if the disconnect (unit switch) is part of the appliance.
It is like being led with an imaginary carrot, but I think the only remaining option is the XP disconnect, within sight. Anyone see anything else?
Thanks, looking forward to being part of this community.

Join the chat on our Facebook page (Yummy Yorkshire) and our twitter account @yummyyorkshire for all the latest comings and goings.
We are celebrating this month after bagging our tenth Great Taste Award in just seven years.
Tipping our accolades via the well-known culinary scheme into double figures, we can add the one-star award – given to us for our innovative Carrot & Cardamom ice cream – to our ever-growing collection.
We joined forces with fellow Yorkshire food producer Puckett's Pickles to create the innovative ice cream, which uses the aromatic spice of cardamom.
The flavour – said to be an aphrodisiac due to cardamom being high in cineole, an ingredient which increases blood flow around the body – was picked up by The Mail Online and championed by Alan Titchmarsh and guests in his TV show earlier this year.
It seems the judges at The Great Taste awards were big fans, too, with comments taking into account the 'lovely cardamom aroma and delicate flavour'. The judges went on to say the ice cream had a smooth base free of crystals, the sweetness was 'well-balanced' with a 'delicious, inviting aroma' and a 'superb appearance'.
Sarah Puckett of Puckett's Pickles said of the recent ice cream collaboration: "It was great fun working with Louise and seeing my chutneys being made into ice cream. Who would have thought you could combine the two? And my goodness the resulting ice cream tastes so delicious."
Acknowledged by producers, retailers and consumers as the definitive, independent benchmark for speciality food and drink, The Great Taste Awards have been dubbed 'the Oscars of the food world'.
Our founder Jeremy Holmes says: "We're thrilled we've won yet another Taste award; we think it's a great achievement for such a small business like ours. We're always working to create unusual flavours and we're pleased the people behind Great Taste loved our Carrot & Cardamom ice cream as much as we do."
It's been a successful month for us; we've recently discovered Yummy Yorkshire has also been shortlisted in the Lunch Business Awards as Best Independent Outlet.

The summer before Ben Goodman left for Kansas, he made a pact with his father. For four years, he would dedicate himself to football, to the simple joy of sacking the quarterback and blowing up opposing running backs.
But first, before he had to report to campus, he wanted one more run on the rodeo circuit. Life only gives you so many chances to wrestle a steer or rope a calf, you know?
"I know I'm not gonna be able to do it for four years," Ben Goodman told his father, Ben Sr.
So off they went, making stops in Biloxi, Miss., and Caldwell and Livingston, Texas. This was the rodeo life, the life Goodman had grown up in. And one last time, Goodman went head first into the seemingly insane sport of wrestling a live steer. He also competed in calf-roping competitions — his specialty event.

"He wanted to get it out of his system," Ben Sr. says.
More than two years later, Goodman, a sophomore linebacker at KU, will take the field for Kansas against TCU in Fort Worth at 11 a.m. on Saturday. In his first year starting, Goodman has sparked a rejuvenated pass-rush that has produced nine sacks.
Earlier this week, KU coach Charlie Weis has promised that this matchup with TCU could be the Jayhawks' most physical test of the season. But what's so scary about meeting a running back in the hole when you grew up watching your father steer wrestle in events in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. His father would jump off a horse at 35 mph ("You gotta have a good horse," Ben Sr. says) and grab the beast by the horns, flipping him to the ground.
"The rodeo life just makes you physical," says Goodman, who grew up in Beaumont, Texas, near the Texas-Louisiana border. "It makes you so physical and tough-natured already. And just being around that, I just grew up physical and faster than the average kid."
For Goodman, the rodeo life is a family tradition that goes back generations. His grandfather, a man known as Little Henry, was a bull rider, competing in rodeos all over Texas. Ben Sr. would try bull riding, too, but after cracking a few ribs, he thought better of it. Football was his first love, anyway, and he went off to play safety at Cameron University in Lawton, Okla.
"I always said that rodeo would be there when I got back," Ben Sr. says.
By the time his children, Ben Jr. and Jasmine, were growing up, he was competing in maybe 50 rodeos a year. It could have been more, too. But Ben Sr. didn't want to miss any of his kid's football games or events back home.
"He was good enough to make it," Goodman says. "But he always had a family to come back to."
The family, including his mother, Reecie, spent their days at a local rodeo arena owned by Little Henry, tending to horses and working on the family hobby.
When he was growing up, Goodman always wanted to go play football during the fall. But he was too big to make the weight limit in the local youth league. So he took up calf-roping, becoming one of the best local calf-ropers in the Anahuac Saltgrass Cowboy's Association. His specialty event was the junior breakaway, and in one contest at the Mesquite Rodeo in Dallas, Goodman competed neck-and-neck with a future professional.
"He roped both of his calves that day," Ben Sr. says.
And in some ways, his father believes those days prepared him for playing rush-linebacker in the Big 12. The speed, and the coordination, and the angles. The skills all translate to the field.
"If you gotta calf in the arena, you gotta take an angle," Ben Sr. says. "The calf is just so fast, it's just like a running back. Except he's got four legs, and you've only got two."
Someday, after his football career is over, Goodman may go back to the rodeo life. But that's in the future. He still has this season and three more to help the KU football program get back on solid footing. And he enters this Saturday with a sack and 3.5 tackles for loss in four games, one of KU's most important players in an aggressive scheme.
Ben Sr. says his son could probably be a successful steer wrestler or calf-roper someday. He has the tools and the athleticism. But if you listen to Goodman, there's one event you won't see him doing anytime soon: Bull Riding.
"No," Goodman says. "That's for the crazy people."

Greeks celebrate country's win over Russia
Amid the gloom of a political and economic crisis, Greece's
gutsy 1-0 win over heavily-favored Russia to advance to the Euro
2012 quarterfinals has at last given the country's crisis-weary
citizens something to cheer about.
Thousands poured into Athens' central Omonia Square on Saturday
waving Greek flags, lighting green and red flares and setting off
firecrackers amid the din of hundreds of honking cars and
renditions of the national anthem in a spontaneous outpouring of
patriotic fervor.
Clouds of acrid smoke wafted through the square as motorcyclists
spun their tires. Shirtless revelers danced in the street, halting
traffic, but motorists caught up in the celebratory atmosphere
weren't all that bothered, blasting their horns in approval.
On the eve of pivotal elections that could decide their economic
fate, the win gave ordinary Greeks a chance to exhibit a little
in-your-face swagger, thumb their nose at Europe and push back at
being painted as the continent's deadbeats.
The victory was all that much sweeter because it came in true
underdog style, bringing back memories of Greece's improbable run
eight years ago, when they won the European championship.
"The result is a message to politicians, to everyone that
Greece won't die and never bows to anyone," said Chris Mbogosian,
"Greeks have heart and they show it when things get tough, we
pull together in times of crisis," said 29-year-old Vasilis
Papaspyliotopoulos, standing amid the crowd with the Greek flag
draped across his shoulders.
Revelers broke into chants of "bring on the Germans",
relishing the prospect of meeting the country footing most of the
bill for their multibillion-euro bailout – and being their most
outspoken critic – in a quarterfinal showdown with political
"It's a result that shows our country is strong," said Stavros
Helmis, 26. "Sport may not be the most serious thing, but it lifts
our spirits."

I downloaded an update for shockwave when prompted last night, and now when my child plays on Neopets various areas don't display on the page, making navigation nigh impossible, and games won't download.
IE works fine, but we'd rather use Firefox (1.0.7)
Short of uninstalling and reinstalling Shockwave Player is there anything I can try first?
Any help would be appreciated.
NB I switched to 'HTML' and all seems to be well. I wonder why the 'Flash' option doesn't work? I had a look in my registry as per the advice in this thread http://www.geekstogo...-IE-t76345.html but I don't have an entry when I right click 'Default'. I'm presuming there should be something there? Should I add it? I'm hesitant to play in the registry.

A point of personal indulgence. My hometown Louisiana newspaper has full coverage of a big sporting event in Arkansas this weekend -- the inaugural Red Beans and Rice Bowl. Read on for details. But let me say first that, though you can take the boy out of Louisiana ....
"Hot boudin, cold coosh coosh. Come on McNeese, poosh, poosh, poosh." I hope to hear many choruses of "Jole Blon" before the night is over.
No offense, UCA fans, but my dad was a member of the then-juco's first graduating class and played tuba in the McNeese band. His college best friend, who became a near uncle to me, was a halfback on the first Cowboy team. My dad always bought season tickets, even when the crowd numbered in the hundreds and you could walk in free at halftime.
We traveled near and far for Cowboy road games, generally with me dozing on my dad's shoulder as he drove home in the wee hours. Games were always at night in Louisiana. What a memory. Cocooned in a big V-8 Pontiac, the heater cranking against the chill, we coursed through the piney woods of North Louisiana accompanied by the radio sounds of Ace Ferguson in the LSU wrapup show and the college football scoreboard, fight songs blaring. A Pitt Grill hamburger stop in Alexandria was always in order.
Names like Don Breaux (Arkies should remember him) and Tom Sestak still thrill me. The current Cowboy coach is son of a famed Cowboy QB and his wife, my high school speech teacher. I spent many an hour during summer programs at The Ranch, the McNeese student center.
In short: Sauce piquante is thicker than water. Go Cowboys.
On Saturday, the McNeese State Cowboys will not only be playing for a Southland Conference championship and playoff berth but also for the inaugural Red Beans and Rice Bowl Trophy.
The game, scheduled for 4:05 p.m. Saturday, will pit the 14th-ranked Cowboys (7-3, 4-2 SLC) against No. 13 Central Arkansas (9-2, 5-1). The SLC match has been designated the Red Beans and Rice Bowl by the schools' administrators.
The winner of the game will receive the trophy — a bronzed bowl — at the conclusion of the contest in a midfield presentation and will have custody of the award for a full year. It will be a revolving trophy, going to the winner each year.
The game will be played in Conway, Ark., and will be televised by the Southland Conference Televisoin Network and broadcast in the Lake Area by KVHP, Ch. 29.
Central Arkansas announced that it will partner with the Arkansas Rice Depot, a statewide hunger-relief organization, in an effort to increase awareness of hunger in Arkansas. The Rice Depot distributes over seven million pounds of food annually to hungry Arkansas.
Game day gate tickets will be discounted $1 to everyone brining a non-perishable food item for donation to the Rice Depot. Gumbo will be sold before to the game and UCA will host a red beans and rice cook-off with all proceeds supporting The Rice Depot's efforts to end hunger in Arkansas.
NOTES: It will be the second time in McNeese history that a regular-season game has a trophy tagged to it. The first was the clash between the Cowboys and the Ragin' Cajuns of USL — now Louisiana-Lafayette. The throphy was called the "Flag" and the winner of the game kept it for a year.

In a disturbing video, a Palestinian father called for Israeli soldiers to shoot his son. Arutz Sheva reports on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's video response, one that calls attention to the culture of death facing Israel:
"I've just watched a video that shook me to the core of my being. In just a few seconds, it shows why our conflict persists," opened the Prime Minster.
"A Palestinian father holds up his 4-year-old son. He pleads with Israeli border police to kill his own child. He shouts, "Shoot this little boy!" His boy. He pushes his young son forward toward the soldiers and screams, "Kill him! Shoot him!" The boy pauses. He is scared. Any child would be. He turns back, looking at his father for guidance.
"With his shirt tightly tucked into his bright red shorts, the boy ambles forward towards the soldiers. One of them extends his hand in friendship. The boy gives him a high-five.
"It's hard to make a four-year-old hate."
Netanyahu then turned to address the parents of the world, urging them to think of their own children in this child's place...

Leave me alone
I'm in a bad mood today and, crazily enough, it has nothing to do with the male species and everything to do with the female: the ones who are supposed to be the nurturers, the healers, the nicey-nicers.
To be more specific, I'm pointing my finger at the women in their forties and fifties who stayed home with their kids and are now back in the workforce a mere 20 years later for the sole reason of driving me insane with their f*&^ing questions.
"How aaaaaaaare you?"
"How is the baaaaaaaaaaaby?"
"Who is watching him?" (Instead of explaining the work-from-home dad/babysitter/grandma arrangement, I am going to start saying, "I'm not sure" and shrug my shoulders).
Look, my issue is not with the questions themselves. I remind myself that they come from a place of concern. It's the way they're posed—it reminds me of those bottomfeeder reporters on the news who ask a murdered victim's family how they feel:
"How does it feel to see your slain brother lying on the sidewalk, knowing that the killer is probably sitting at Friendly's right now eating a Jubilee ice cream roll while you and your family struggle to pick up the pieces?"
The absolute worst are the women who ask you the details of your workweek under the pretense of empathizing. Cut the shit. You don't give a shit about my workweek. You just want to hear the dirty details so you can pat me on the shoulder and say, "I could never do what you do"—like I'm some kind of vigilant out there fighting for the greater good while you sit on your ass eating S'Mores and Spam, cuddling the wee ones by the fire.
I'm so brave. So tough.
Well screw you.
Who said having a child meant surrendering your entire self? Forgive me for liking adult interaction. For deriving a sense of purpose from professional accomplishments.
What happened to "Live and let live?" Or "Give me liberty or give me death?" (that was Patrick Henry and no, I'm not a history buff, I'm trying to lighten the mood—is it a little, um, hot in here?).
Can't we all just hold hands and sing Koombaya?
More importantly, can't we all just stop asking each other how we are?

Amen, working sister!
My older one is 3 1/2, and the other is 11 months, and I still get the "it must be so hard" b/s from people! What's ironic, is that it's oftentimes from people at work!

<< -- 3 -- George Balcombe BREATHTAKING BREVITY
Since the music around 1600 owed its existence
to counterpoint, quite appropriately, the recording technique of this
disc is to make the composers' contrapuntal ingenuity loud and clear.
But this has been done at the expense of an aural sensation of
three-dimensional space. Reverberation is doubtless the enemy of
contrapuntal clarity. An organ is not only the instrument
itself but also the acoustics of the architecture around it.
Sweelinck and his pupils, who went from him to play fine organs in
beautiful churches across the whole of northern Germany and beyond,
during the metamorphosis of Renaissance music into the Baroque,
would have been among the first to agree that the magnificence of the
organ derives from its own sound heard in the context of the built
space around it. Deprived of that space the music sounds sparse.
However, Gail Archer, with this method of recording, is consistent
in the emphasis on the counterpoint. She gives a brilliant performance
culminating in the astounding outburst at the end of the recital
with Sweelinck's Ricecar

I am rather new to computer building, and I am making my first rig... or planning it out, at least, right now.
I am the kind of person who wants a good machine, but has a budget.
I would like to know how RAM (memory) is measured in speed, and if, and if so, how much, impact it has on performance of the actual computer.
Thank you!

Holidays on Ice Summary & Study Guide Description
Holidays on Ice Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:
This detailed literature summary also contains Topics for Discussion and a Free Quiz on Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris.
David Sedarisappears in The SantaLand Diaries; Dinah, the Christmas Whore
David Sedaris is the narrator and main character of the stories, "The SantaLand Diaries," and "Dinah, the Christmas Whore." A pithy, sarcastic, and borderline sado-masochistic man, he is a sharp observer of humanity and a big fan of soap operas. While he notices every person around him and notes their affectations, style, and phobias, he does not openly judge them. He may not like them or may find them annoying, but ultimately he is a benevolent narrator, willing to forgive nearly any trespass so long as the trespasser is entertaining.
In "The SantaLand Diaries," Sedaris is in his forties and attempting to pay his student loans as he works his way towards his dream job as a writer on "One Life to Live." He agrees to play an elf at the largest department store in New York, characteristically neurotic about the possibility that someone will see him in his costume outside of SantaLand. He is a good employee, punctual and enthusiastic, if he lacks the manic zeal and sense of appropriateness that the other elves possess. For example, he signs a Christmas carol, but he does so in the voice of Billie Holliday. A grown man however emulating a female jazz singer does not reinforce good and clean family fun, no matter what the song.
In "Dinah, the Christmas Whore," Sedaris is a high school student working after-school in a Piccadilly cafeteria and growing steadily more disillusioned with the Christmas season. He envisions himself as a great, poetic outcast whose future lies in traveling the world with a mischievous monkey named Socrates.
Jocelyn Dunbarappears in Season's Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!
Jocelyn is the narrator of "Season's Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!" Doggedly merry, even in the face of family tragedy, Jocelyn's letter is a thinly veiled cry for help to her loved ones. Jocelyn believes that her life has been blessed. She has a husband, a house, and three children: one in college, one in rehab, and one who stays in the bathroom to carve soap figurines. This slightly mutated idyll is shattered one day when Khe Sahn, an illegitimate child fathered by her husband during his tour of duty in Vietnam arrives. Jocelyn immediately hates the girl. She resents that the girl has gotten a free ride, and that she can simply barge into Jocelyn's family and make herself at home. She is also threatened by Khe Sahn's demonstrative physical overtures towards Clifford and Kevin. Jocelyn is desperate to get Khe Sahn out of her life, so desperate in fact that she may even have killed her own grandchild to ensure the Vietnamese girl's departure and punishment. Sanctimonious, bitter, and protective, Jocelyn is the inner voice of a suburban wife and mother whose life spirals out of control. Unfortunately, for Jocelyn, she spirals downwards with this negative energy.
Khe Sahn Dunbarappears in Season's Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!
Khe Sahn is the illegitimate Vietnamese love child of Clifford Dunbar and a Vietnamese woman. She arrives at the Dunbar home speaking almost no English and spends her time there shopping and doting on the men of the house. She is a suspect in the murder of Jocelyn's grandchild, Don. Hated by Jocelyn, Khe Sahn returns the vindictiveness and spite in her own quiet way. Obsequious to wealthy men and apathetic to her new mother-figure, Khe Sahn knows how to get what she wants.
Clifford Dunbarappears in Season's Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!
Clifford Dunbar is Jocelyn's husband and the father of Khe Sahn. He appreciates Khe Sahn's presence in the house if only for her constant offers of five dollar massages and unending flattery. Otherwise, Clifford remains silent and absent from Jocelyn's narrative.
Kevin Dunbarappears in Season's Greetings to Our Friends and Family!!!
Kevin Dunbar is Jocelyn and Clifford's son and a successful college student with bright prospects for the future. He is the apple of his parents' eyes, and once Khe Sahn meets him, he immediately falls for her. After they spend some alone time in his bedroom, he must depart again for college, but he calls Khe Sahn daily. Jocelyn fears that Khe Sahn will destroy her son's future.
Lisa Sedarisappears in Dinah, the Christmas Whore
Lisa is David Sedaris's sister. She works at a cafeteria in Raleigh, North Carolina, and befriends a prostitute named Dinah. David has always considered his sister to be normal to a fault: boring, predictable, and painfully practical. However, one night she takes David along on a trip to rescue Dinah from her boyfriend. Lisa fearlessly charges through the slums of Raleigh and punches out a full-grown man before grabbing the prostitute by the hand and taking her home to meet her mother. Surprising and bold, Lisa becomes a heroine to David.
Socratesappears in Dinah, the Christmas Whore
Socrates is David's imaginary companion and a well-trained proboscis monkey with whom he will travel the world and gain enlightenment on the nature of humanity. Socrates is trained in the fighting arts.
Dinahappears in Dinah, the Christmas Whore
Dinah is a prostitute who works at the K&W cafeteria with Lisa Sedaris. On the night of Lisa's birthday, Dinah calls Lisa for help because her boyfriend has gotten drunk and mean. She dreams of staying clean and graduating from the cafeteria's steam counter to the meat-carving station. Grateful for the Sedaris family's attention, Dinah spends the evening of Lisa's birthday in their kitchen, telling stories, and enjoying the company.
Thaddeus Bristolappears in Front Row Center with Thaddeus Bristol
Thaddeus Bristol is a discriminating theatre critic who abhors the Christmas season and the scads of rote middle and elementary-school pageants that the season brings. He is perfectly willing to skewer the efforts of preadolescent actors and directors, because he believes that too many parents encourage their children to pursue interests for which they have no talent. Bristol will notify the children of their lack of talent, and seems to enjoy thoroughly dissecting the flaws and shortcomings of multiple amateur productions.
Bristol's own defect is in his inability to discriminate between amateur theatre and professional theatre. He judges a child's pageant on the same scale as he would a fully professional theatre production, and is therefore doomed to disappointment in every folding chair-packed school gymnasium and lunchroom.
Jim Timothyappears in Based Upon a True Story
Jim Timothy is a television producer who travels to rural Kentucky in order to track down a true-life story about a miraculous organ transplant. Impeccably dressed and unrelentingly paronizing, Timothy calls his audience ignorant, dirty, and squalid at every turn. A serial divorcee, he believes that every person can be bought and that every person's foremost priority ought to be material success at any cost. Although he considers himself to be an adept communicator, his success is due only to his financial resources.
The Womanappears in Based Upon a True Story
A Christian mother who sews her own kidney into her ailing son's body, the unnamed woman is the focus of Timothy's mission to Kentucky. She has refused to sell her story to tabloids and television studios alike and gives God credit for the successful surgery.
Phil Beckyappears in Based Upon a True Story
Brother Phil Becky is the preacher at the Jasper's Breath Pentecostal Church. He agrees to allow Jim Timothy to speak to the congregation in return for a brand-new church funded by Timothy's studio. Becky reinforces Timothy's theory that all people can be bought for the right price.
Narratorappears in Christmas Means Giving
The narrator is a wealthy and material-obesessed husband and father living in an affluent suburb. He prides himself on his ability to consume massive amounts of consumer goods and food, and competes with his neighbor to ensure that he is the most extreme consumer in the neighborhood. That competition turns dangerous when the narrator shiftys his focus from gaining to giving, and, in competition with Doug Cottingham, gives up his sons, his posessions, and several internal organs before he is certain that he has won. To this man, winning is more important than any of his other valuables or loved ones.
Bethappears in Christmas Means Giving
Beth is the narrator's wife and another fervent consumer. She supports her husband's competition with the Cottinghams and herself gives away several pieces of her body in order to show up Doug Cottingham's meager lung donation. She dies in a cardboard box with her husband, blind and toothless.
Doug Cottinghamappears in Christmas Means Giving
The new man in the block, Doug Cottingham wants to become the neighborhood alpha consumer, and therefore most supplant the narrator and his family. First he expands his home, and then, once he realizes that charity is far more jealousy and awe-inducing in his neighbors' eyes, he gives away most of his material wealth and parts of his body. Unfortuantely, he cannot compete with the narrator and ultimately dies with his wife, Nancy, of pneumonia in a cardboard box one winter.
The Beggarappears in Christmas Means Giving
The beggar precipitates the shift from hoarding wealth to giving it away. When Doug Cottingham gives him a dollar, he sets the trajectory of the rest of the story. The beggar, unfortuantely, does not value the material donations as much as he does the young sons of the narrator until he kills them and leaves them in the traveling sauna given to him by Cottingham.

Fount Magazine invited Special Edition Co. to participate in an international artist mash-up exchange. Under the theme "plant a mountain", artists from all over the world explored the theme of starting something new and forgetting the fear of failure. We were paired an image created by Polish artist Marta Wlusek and asked to create a composition based on our reaction to the piece.
Other artists and designers in this first issue include: Stefan Sagmeister, PutPut, Hort, Erwin Olaf, Frank Höhne, Tony Futura, Stefan Kiefer, Frank Berzbach, Götz Gramlich.
Fount had shows in Berlin and Dortmund for the magazine release and displayed prints of the work.

Objet reached out to Special Edition Co. to create a visual campaign for the workshops. We designed posters and handbills focused on the nature of the workshops. We also created social media promos for the workshops. Shortly after the workshops, we also created an additional poster for an Objet pop up shop.
Graphic Platters
Lea McCormick Griggs
Trent Roach
Featured in Here & Now:
Red Star Studios Artist
in Residence Annual Exhibition
Special Edition Co. collaborated with ceramicist Lea McCormick Griggs on these graphic ceramic platters. Lea uses ceramic decals regularly in his work, offering opportunities for graphic and photographic application directly to ceramic pieces. We designed the graphics, printed them on ceramic decal paper and collaboratively placed the elements on each of the four platters.
Each platter measures 11" x 22" x 2".
Double Decker Poster
Trent Roach
A poster I collaborated on with Trent Roach for Special Edition Co. We designed the poster with themes of fluidity, creation and observation in mind. The poster is an 11″ x 17″ Risograph print on 80# Speckletone Madero Beach French Paper and was printed by the very talented Oddities Prints right here in Kansas City. We printed a small run of 50 posters.

Select designs from the Special Edition Co. Print All Over Me web shop. We experimented with analog and digital means of pattern making and tailored overlays with different apparel and objects.
Personal Branding: V1
AIGA Member Portfolios
A previous version of personal branding for myself as a designer. I utilized this branding in a full collateral set featuring a resume, cover letter, business cards, thank you cards and custom envelopes. The identity was intended to be flexible enough for various applications. - I designed a heavily patterned set and a separate, more reserved set to satisfy different occasions.
Monument to
the Synthesizer
Trent Roach
Edwing Mendez
A concept for a dimensional monument which allows the user to physically interact with and commemorate the synthesizer. The monument offers the opportunity for collaboration of multiple users to experiment with lifesize representations of all of the elements of a synthesizer. They can change wave forms and work together to create one sound. The overall focus is the synthesizer's influence on music over the years and honoring the shift from analog to digital forms of creating audio. We proposed Asheville, North Carolina, next to the Moog Factory and Studios as the build location if this project were implemented.
Foam Letter Collective
Foam Letter Collective began as an experiment with textures and materials interacting with typography when printed. I cut out multiple sets of letterforms out of materials like MDF and pink insulation foam with a CNC router. I manipulated the letterforms in various ways and printed with the letters on a proof press. This gradually led to shipping out foam letter kits all around the country to texturize however they wanted. They sent the letters back to me with their own custom textures, along with documentation. I printed with the letters and documented the process and results on a case study website.
Forrester Branding &
Merchandise Design
I designed the visual identity for Lawrence, Kansas, band Forrester. Their sound is spontaneous and ranges from ambient to hip hop to trance rock. I wanted to represent this sound with a vibrant, impactful mark with opportunities for variation in use. I also designed several shirts and stickers for the band.
Promo Materials
Kansas City Art Institute
I designed promotional posters and programs for MicroChromatic, an interactive performance installation exploring the relationship between various modes of sensory perception. Participants experienced fifteen minutes of total sonic and visual immersion inside the optochamber – a compartment specifically designed to merge the separate senses by attempting to nullify the boundaries between them.
Kansas City Art Institute
Commencement Invite
Anna De Sando
I collaborated with Anna De Sando on the design of the 2014 Kansas City Art Institute commencement invitation. The design utilizes two of the school's colors, the core graphic and brand typefaces. Graduating seniors were given the invitations to send out for the graduation ceremony.
How to Hem Denim
Trent Roach
How to Hem Denim is a brief instructional video featuring Daniel Cummings of Baldwin Denim. Informational motion graphics and typography help guide the viewer through the process of hemming denim.
Sound Haven Studios
Trent Roach
Zac Cobos
Design Ignites Change
A project focused on enriching the lives of the youth of the Manheim Park neighborhood of Kansas City. We conducted a series of case studies, attended neighborhood meetings and surveyed youth within the community. A common theme was an interest in being seen and heard creatively. We developed the concept of a neighborhood recording studio which would promote structure and offer an outlet for the youth to record and collaborate with guest Kansas City musicians. We designed the full identity system and developed the concept for the studio, along with a potential website for tracks to be promoted on artist's profiles.
McDonald's x KC Chiefs
Blitz Box Advertising
Kansas City Chiefs /
Nick Wassmer
At Bernstein-Rein, I had the opportunity to work with McDonalds and the Kansas City Chiefs on a collaborative project. McDonalds released the exclusive Blitz Box at the start of the Chiefs season. It was a massive box of food for $14.99 for fans to eat on game day.
I designed car flags which came in the box, promotional gift cards, an outdoor board and several promotional animated web banners for the campaign. I also ate a Blitz Box.
