Tide TIPS: Volume 17
You are reading Tide TIPS, a weekly round-up of all things Technology, Innovation, Patent, and Startup related.
Your Vote Doesn't Count*
*IF the whole system is hacked (not rigged). 31 of the great states use the Internet to collect votes, and like everything on the Internet, these processes are vulnerable to hacking. Why allow Internet voting at all? Most of the states only rely on it in order to receive military and overseas voters. However, this doesn't secure the votes. Since these states use several different systems however, such as allowing voters to return absentee ballots via e-mail, Web portals, or fax machines. This makes it nearly impossible to guarantee the security of online voting with one system, and instead requires several moving parts. The problem is hopelessly complex, unless the election returns to the Stone Age of no Internet. (MIT Tech Review)
The Good News
Although the online voting system is vulnerable to an attack, the government isn't all that worried one will happen today. One cyber intelligence analyst for Flashpoint, (which has been monitoring and mitigating cyber attacks) says there is no evidence the election is at risk. Additionally, government official do not believe attackers have the ability to blackout the Internet to the point of no return. Still, law enforcement, intelligence, and military teams are on standby in order to defend the Internet infrastructure tomorrow. Web traffic will be closely monitored by several different cyber command centers, and all resources of cyber operations have been engaged. Hackers don't have a way to break the Internet, especially since Kim Kardashian probably isn't on their side. (Wired)
Candidate Comparison: Innovation
If supporting and advancing technology and innovation policies is high on your to-do list, I'd like to not only be friends, but also lend insight as to each presidential candidate's stance on this matter. Secretary Clinton introduced an "Initiative on Technology and Innovation" that promotes intellectual-property based industries. This initiative includes employing a greater focus on STEM coursework in public school curricula, a financial commitment to startups, and a deferment of student loans for entrepreneurial students. Trump, on the other hand, has no official innovation plan, but has called attention to innovation issues during his speeches. In one speech, Trump promises to enforce intellectual property rules in order to end China's "outrageous theft of intellectual property". However, one could question the legitimacy of his anger against intellectual property theft, after several artists including Queen, Adele, and the Rolling Stones have condemned the Trump campaign for using their songs unauthorized. In terms of straight answers during this election, I suppose You Can't Always Get What You Want. (Forbes)
Dear Mr./Madame President:
A few tips regarding how to repair "Brand USA". Very few products are truly made in the USA anymore, and the largest contribution to this fact is the lack of good jobs in manufacturing. Government policies are extremely friendly to large globalized businesses that deliver low costs at the expensive of Brand USA. The United States has amongst the highest business taxes in the world, yet they are predominately paid by small businesses. A progressive business tax would make more sense, along with the enforcement of anti-monopoly legislation so larger businesses can't buy out smaller businesses. Additionally, products created through slave labor or forced labor must be outlawed. Consumer goods might become more expensive, but jobs would return to the U.S. and boost the brand. You can thank me by lending me AirForce One a few weeks after you take office and get comfortable, right around January 9th. I just need it for a quick trip to Tampa. (Inc.)

When Nikon announced the entry-level 24MP D3200 back in April 2012, it seemed only a matter of time before the rest of its DX SLRs were upgraded to the same resolution. In reality it's taken rather longer than we expected, but finally the 24MP D5200 has appeared to replace the D5100 - just in time for the holiday season.
It would be tempting to assume that the D5200's 24MP CMOS sensor is the same as the D3200's, but Nikon very specifically says this isn't the case, and the two have slightly different specifications. In practical terms, the D5200 offers a higher extended ISO range compared to it's little brother - 25600 vs 12800 - and faster continuous shooting (5 fps vs 4). For video shooters the D5200 can record Full HD 1920 x 1080 movies at up to 60i or 50i (when set to NTSC and PAL respectively), although this uses a central crop of the sensor area (~1.25x). More conventional 30p, 25p and 24p modes use the full width of the sensor.
Nikon D5200 key features
24.1MP DX format CMOS sensor
EXPEED 3 processing
ISO 100-6400 standard, up to 25600 expanded
5 fps continuous shooting
39 point AF system, 9 sensors cross type
2016 pixel RGB metering sensor
1080p30 video recording, built-in stereo mic
921k dot 3" vari-angle TFT monitor, 170° viewing angle
Have you tried to import your clips from Nikon D5200 to FCP X or other video editings? Well some Nikon users may have tried this before. But they may have met more or less problems.
In fact, H.264 MOV video format from Nikon D5100 is a long GOP format that is highly compressed. To be frankly, it is not a friendly format for FCP X editing. Thus it is difficult for the Nikon users to import these videos to FCP X for editing smoothly.

British scientists to investigate Caribbean deep-sea hydrothermal vents 10 August 2008Posted by admin in Caribbean, current research, geoscience, submarine volcanism, volcanology.
Tags: geoscience, oceanography, volcanology
Using the latest in deep-sea exploration technology, British scientists are to investigate the world's deepest undersea volcanic ridge, 6000 metres down at the bottom of the Cayman Trough in the Caribbean. The United Kingdom's newest dedicated scientific research vessel, RRS James Cook, will devote two month-long cruises to exploring the Cayman Trough, employing the remotely-operated Isis submarine and the autonomous underwater vehicle Autosub6000.
The scientific team is led by Dr John Copley of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, where RRS James Cook is based. The primary focus of the project is the study of the geochemistry and biology of undersea volcanic vents, and the investigation of hydrothermal processes where the Earth's mantle is directly exposed to seawater. Hydrothermal vents in such cases, says Dr Copley, 'could be hotter than 500C (930F), and if they are that hot, they will probably have quite different chemistry and life forms – we expect to find new species'.

On Day 13, we packed up and left the spectacular Monument Valley behind.
I recalled from my last trip to Moab, nearly 20 years ago, that it wuzz right sum purdy. The closer we got, the more I began to think that this was one of those times when memory out-strips reality. Y'know, like how everything just seemed bigger when you were a kid. I was just thinking that maybe I shouldn't have made such a big deal out of coming here when…WHAM! We came upon this just sorta hanging out beside the road:
After doing a wee bit of research, I've learned that this is called Church Rock, and that little thing on the bottom that looks like a door, is a man-made hole. Yep, some genius spotted this giant ROCK and thought it might be a really cool idea to burrow into it. The aforementioned genius only got…

Applying to school can seem like a daunting process, but is not difficult if you take it step by step. Once you have decided where you want to go to school, it is really just a matter of submitting an application, sending in a list of other documents if necessary, and filling out forms for financial aid.
- Find out when you can apply
Once you have decided where you want to go to carpentry school, you need to figure out when you can submit an application and start taking classes. If you are impatient to get started, you might use different schools' starting dates as a way to make your decision about where to go. Some schools have classes that start all throughout the year, and other schools only allow students to start at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters, which generally correlates with the end of August/beginning of September and the end of January/beginning of February.
- Fill out an application
Most schools allow you to access applications online via their website. You can usually submit this application electronically, although some schools also give you the options of printing it out, filling out the information, and mailing or faxing it to the admissions department. When you fill out the application, you will have to provide details regarding your contact information, high school or previous college grades, and extracurricular activities. What exactly you are asked, however, will in part depend on what type of school you are attending. If you are applying as part of competition for a spot, the application process will likely be a bit more rigorous. If instead you are applying to a school or program with automatic acceptance, you will simply be asked some basic information to get your enrollment started. Some schools have "rolling admissions," which means they read application as they receive them and let you know shortly after you have applied. Other schools have standard admissions, which means they review all applications at a predetermined time of year and let all accepted students know at the same time.
- Send in all other required documents
Some schools ask that you submit additional information not listed on your application. This usually includes sending in copies of all your high school transcripts or grades from previous colleges. Some institutions also ask for letters of recommendation (from previous teachers or employers) and a description of your past work experience. There may be other requirements specific to the program to which you are applying, or that only apply to international or out-of-state students. This might include a statement of purpose (why you want to attend the school) or tests to assess your knowledge in areas like math or English.
- Sort out financial aid information
If you cannot afford to pay tuition at the school which you plan to attend, you should inquire about financial aid options. You should fill out the FAFSA, which is an application for financial aid from the government in the form of grants and loans, as well as any school documentation that could help you win private scholarships. Most schools will inform you of any funds or tuition discounts you will receive from them with your acceptance letter.

Hello, I work at Spotify and my name is Oskar Stal (Oskar Stål in Swedish). I'm just popping up here to tell you who I am. I was born and raised in a suburb east of Stockholm in Sweden, so yes I am a burb-guy like most of the people I know in Stockholm. My burb is in the archipelago (see below) so I very much like the water, ocean and boats.
I have lived in Stockholm all my life but one year (1998-99) when I lived on the Balboa peninsula in southern California.
Today I live in a loft apartment in the center of Stockholm together with my beautiful wife and lovely little daughter. She is a blond little wild one who just runs around the apartment making a mess, currently I call her the flea. (Update: I now have 2 little lovely daughters)
I work close by the office in the center of Stockholm so during most days I stay within a 15 minute radius in the center of Stockholm. (Update: we have moved office but we're still in central Stockholm. Will change the picture soon)
During the weekend we spend a lot of time out in the countryside. My wife's parents has a lovely place south of Stockholm named Tradgardsnaset. It's by the lake with sauna, horses and lot's of trees.
Other stuff that might be worth checking out.
Here more stuff related to me from other web-sites.
Yesterday my little angel got her first tricycle and she was peddling like crazy all over the lawn. We spend considerable time practicing how to drag it up and down the stairs. On of many important things you must learn in life...
Right now it's summer in Sweden and I just need to talk a little about why the Swedish summer is soooo nice. The main thing is the temperature. It's really nice and warm and you can walk outside wearing just a t-shirt, no freakin jacket or thick sweater. At the same time it's not as hot as most places around the globe, meaning it's actually nice to be outside. No need to find the closest AC, no need to spend your time hunting for a cool shopping-mall. You can just calmly walk the streets and enjoy the sun!
You can reach me on email at the large Google email service. My user name is my first name, dot my second name with the english spelling.
October 2013 and I'm visiting San Francisco. This is a really amazing city, definitely one of my most favorite place.
The above is a view from one of my friends place, really amazing. Thanks for the lovely dinner. I have been here for a week and during that week I have visited the following technology companies: Netflix, Google, Square, Palantir, Salesforce, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
The above is the painting from the main lobby at Facebook. The office is filled with these amazing graffiti's.
This flamingo eating dinosaur is from the park at Googleplex Mountain View.
I also spent some time in our own San Francisco office. It's a small office with about 20 people. But the office is really cool. In fact, I think it's our coolest office among the once I have visited. We have a great team working there and they have a nice vibe going in that amazing office. Below is the office building which by the way is above the Warfield Theatre.
During the weekend I had an amazing time. On Saturday I hung out with my colleagues and we drove to around north of the city. Among other things we managed to catch this beautiful sunset.
On Sunday I was walking around town with my friend Krille. It was sunny, hot and really nice. All and all an amazing weekend in San Francisco...
The last couple of months was pretty rough both at work and in my personal life. As you can see in this picture it was too much at times. At this particular occasion I found myself wearing different socks...
The weather has been awful. No snow in sight only rain rain and rain again. It's been very warm for being X-mas and it's all just weird. Because of the rain and lack of snow it has been very dark. We have had really nice sunsets but it rarely gets light outside.
During the break I have been taking a long walk almost every day. This is likely just a sign of me getting old... But it's really nice to get out and about and it's also really nice to get some slight exercise every day. Below is one of the destinations I have been walking to a couple of times.
Hey, it's Oskar Stal (or Stål) and I'm having a wonderful summer! It's very hot and my two little princesses seem very happy. They play all the time - with toys - with each other - with friends and with me. The only time they are not happy is at bedtime. Trying to get them to sleep hasn't been easy this summer...
We rented a little lovely boat for two weeks. Unfortunately we just returned it so I'm not sure how to spend hot days without a boat. But during the two weeks we went on a lot of nice day-trips to various restaurants, islands and friend's country-houses. Some time in the future we will own our own boat I'm sure...
One evening we packed the kids in blankets and took the boat out to the very outer archipelago by the ocean. You can see the horizon in the background. The water was all calm and we cruised between rocky islands in the sunset. These waters normally has rough sea but this evening it was all calm. It was the most beaitiful evening experience.
The sunset was very special that evening on the sea.
One of the most fun things this summer was our visit to Vimmerby and Astrind Lindgren. We went there with two other families and the kids really loved it. My oldest daughter kept chasing Pippi Longstocking for hours. So I can really recommend going there with a four-year-old. We also went to the farm where the Emil movies were shot. The farm was really beautiful and below you can see Emil's house.
Oskar Stal (or Stål) just have to show you the picture of this crazy old oak from Smaland. They say it's 1000 years old and that it's the oldest tree in Northern Europe. It really looks like a crazy old lady and I can just imagine it coming to life during dark nights...

Dear Marmee,
Happy New Year.
Your photographs show the beauty of your snow. The male Cardinal is perfect!
I am looking forward to having a cup of tea and catching up with you this evening. It is bitterly cold here. Our blanket of snow is about 12 inches deep.
I am off to enjoy your posts and your other blogs!

No snow here Marmee, but there was ice falling from the sky yesterday when I was trying to cover my plants. AND the birdbaths were iced over this morning. The garden is beginning to look pretty bleak and tonight will be the worst yet... 25 degrees for several hours. Crazy for central Florida.
The depiction of snow on the evergreen and the garden accessories is delightful. Abbey has a promising "eye" for seeing through the lens. Mult-talented little one! Hope you all are staying cozy...

Lovely photos, Marmee! The red cardinals are such a welcome sight in this weather--they stand out in contrast to all the white. We had quite a snowfall, too, this past week--about 6 inches--which closed all the schools for two days. And it has been extremely cold; just filling up the bird feeders requires a major bundling up. Stay warm!

Hi Marmee, good news on the weather. The whole eastern 2/3 is in for a warm up. I'm ready!!!

Premarital Agreements
Do I Need A Premarital Agreements?
Getting married is a beautiful thing, but in the eyes of the law, marriage is little more than an agreement between two people to live together as a family. To protect your assets, you will need to draw up a premarital agreement between yourself and your soon-to-be spouse (who may also have assets that need protection, as well).
Due to the complicated nature of marriages, and finances, you will need an experienced attorney like the one you will find at Howe & Garside to draw up a professional premarital agreement. While protecting your assets and your investments, will also be mutually agreeable with your soon-to-be spouse and his/her assets and investments.
What does a premarital agreement cover?
While there are many things that a premarital agreement cannot cover, there are some things that can be addressed in such an agreement.
Pre-marital Property
It is not uncommon, these days, for people to have investment properties and primary residences that they bring into a marriage. If one, or both, spouses have pre-marital property, it can – and should – be protected under a properly drawn up agreement between the two soon-to-be newlyweds.
Children From Previous Relationships
If one, or both, of the parties involved in the marriage, have kids from previous relationships or marriages, it is the legal duty of said parent to provide for the children appropriately. This matter can, and should, be addressed in a properly drawn up and executed, agreement.
Financial Obligations
It's common for both parties in a marriage to work – in whatever capacity – a properly written and executed premarital agreement can, and should, outline the financial responsibility of each party during the marriage. For example, who pays the mortgage? Who pays the household bills? Who provides for the children, and what's considered a reasonable provision for the children in question?
For more information on how Howe & Garside can help you execute a proper premarital agreement contact us today for your free, no obligation consultation.

Destiny shares the eyes of the young genocides
Suicides that are still alive
Their success has been so well disguised, yeah
And on their face, is a razors blank stare
As if to know their destiny is going no where ??
But no where is not so hard to bare
Where their parents can decide
Hand and hand they walk together
With their broken pride
Mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers
And the whole world to decide ??
Desperately searching and dangerously.....
I deserve ....
Not much worse than they are, of the young genocides
Facing the world with your back to the wall
Its hard to feel important at all
The Grand Illusion that'll never come
Its disguised itself as tomorrow

Call it the Andy Slam.
The Vans Triple Crown of Surfing is a series of three major events on the North Shore, and Kauai's Andy Irons has the chance to hold all of its winner's trophies at one time after winning the series-opening 22nd annual men's Op Pro Hawaii yesterday at Haleiwa.
Added onto the individual contest titles, the Triple Crown also awards its own championship title to the best overall performer in the series. Irons won the series-ending Pipeline Masters last year on his way to taking the 2005 Triple Crown championship. If he wins the upcoming second jewel this year -- the World Cup at Sunset Beach -- he will become the first in the series' 24-year history to possess all four Hawaii majors at one time.
If not for a slim runner-up finish at the World Cup last year, Irons would already have the Slam. And, he won the event just the year before that. He is also a former three-time world champion, and won the Triple Crown in 2002 and 2003 as well.
"I've followed the Triple Crown since I was 8 years old. I know every single winner," said Irons, 28, sounding like Tiger Woods, who pulled off the Tiger Slam by winning all four of golf's majors consecutively from 2000 to 2001.
To hold all the Triple Crown titles "would be a dream come true. I've got a shot, and I'm definitely going to go for it. That's the ultimate dream."
In 4- to 8-foot-face waves on the last of four competition days for the event that began with an international field of 160 surfers, Irons surfed in three earlier heats to qualify for the 35-minute, four-man final.
With the swell declining and waves harder to come by as the day progressed, Irons quickly posted a 7.50 (out of 10) wave score and then a 5.50 in the decider after nabbing two solid rides before 8 minutes had expired.
The first wave was a right-handed set on which he executed two big off-the-top carves. The second was a smaller left on
which he strung together five consecutive backside hits. Though Irons and the other finalists all rode multiple waves after this point, they sat through a 7-minute lull that started about halfway through.
Irons' early scores proved to be his two best, and gave him a winning total of 13.00 points, the $15,000 first prize and the pole position in this year's Triple Crown race.
"It was tough in the dying swell, but the 7.5 got me in the door and the 5.5 kept me there," he said. The three other finalists "didn't need a real big score (to overtake the lead), but luckily it went flat for as long as it did."
Two spots ahead of Irons' current world ranking, No. 3 Taj Burrow of Australia finished less than a point behind with a 12.63 total and in second place. Makakilo's Joel Centeio (9.90) finished in third, while No. 37 Mikael Picon (8.50) of France took fourth.
The Op Pro was Burrow's first Hawaii competition in two years, as he was forced to sit out last year's Triple Crown with a broken foot.
"I had fun, even though the waves kind of slowed down there at the end," Burrow said. "I missed out on all the action last year, so it feels great to be back in the water in Hawaii."
Besides being the Triple Crown opener, the Op Pro was the penultimate event on the World Qualifying Series, a lower-tiered tour that surfers use to qualify for the World Championship Tour, which is generally reserved for the world's top 45 surfers.
However, because it is held in Hawaii's famed surf and considered a major event as part of the prestigious Triple Crown, most of the WCT surfers participate each year.
Centeio was the only WQS surfer to qualify for the semifinals, and his finish in the decider was the biggest result of his career. Though he must still be considered a dark horse, if he earns another similarly huge result at the Triple Crown's second jewel -- which also serves as the WQS finale -- he could potentially qualify for the first time for the WCT (the last jewel is the WCT final).
"I'll take a third place, for sure," Centeio, 23, said. Practically "from the quarterfinals, on, I was challenging only WCT guys. To beat some of the best, I'm so stoked right now."

- Not really having spare money to buy Joshy a present :-(. But hey! It means I get to be creative!
- Spending three and a half hours in the library trying to get Josh's surprise gift printed (for 25 cents a page) and the darn printer just will not cooperate!
- Josh texting me from home when he gets home from work all like, "Where's mybaby and the dinner she was supposed to make me?" Fail. I'm thinking he would have been more blessed by me remembering to feed him than by his birthday present that totally didn't work out.
- No present + no dinner = not the super awesomest birthday ever
- I got him Taco Bell and a muffin with seven bucks my mom gave me, so he's pretty sure I still love him.
- Soul Calibur IV date! It was only fun because we're pretty evenly matched. There's no way I would have let him win just because it's his birthday . . .
- I am so conquering that printer tomorrow.
- Party this weekend with old and new friends 🙂
- My grandma is coming up from PA to visit!
- Family is coming from far and wide next week to spend some time on the lake.
- The only job I've gotten an interview for so far is for the position that I want most of all! It went well, too! Please God, this is all in your hands . . .
- Feeling hopeful about my IC symptoms after a routine appointment today.
- The man I love said "Hey world!" 23 years ago today. Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Thurston!
- Josh is no longer the only one around the house that I call "baby." Think a little bit about what that means . . . 😉

Here are a few elements that never saw the light of day from the past couple weeks.
Illustration, Design, and Motion Graphics
Here are a few elements that never saw the light of day from the past couple weeks.
I'm not usually one for posting videos, but hot damn this was a lot of work. This is a general sampling from jobs I've done in the last year. Watching this for me is just a rush of memories.
While for the most part I only selected things that could fit in smoothly, there is one spot where the music stops and there's a little segment of two icons talking. Though it breaks the flow, I really wanted to include that because that job took just over 250 hours on its own. All the speaking bits were animated with facial motion tracking and tons of key frames. For doing the motion tracking, I ended up over at my parents house at 10pm lip syncing the commercial several times in front of a camera. Even just getting that job, I had found a neat AE expression for attaching puppet pins to nulls about half an hour before I got word of it. When my intermediary client came through the door, and asked if I could make animated talking icons, I had just thing I wanted to try! That job also had about a million rounds of changes and change backs.
For me, most of the brief clips in that video have stories, ideas, trials, and solutions attached to them. Some funny, some arduous, some otherwise. This is the first time that I've cut together an actual reel, (I've made just graphic demos for clients in the past) and it's certainly strange to see a year summed up into just over three minutes.
This is from a project that I was working on a couple weeks ago that got canned midway through. Although the actual project will never see the light of day, I'm still fond of the icons that I build for it and want them to at least get a flashlight on them. If I find enough time, I may even finish it on my own time.
I was instructed to make a DRTV info graphic. I was given a little quick breakdown of how the market worked, then I was set free to more or less do as I pleased with it.
These were the core icons that I came up with. The colors used are the company's logo color. Making icons and small simple illustrations is one of my favorite things to do. In part because I find it immensely enjoyable to add in details that no one will ever catch.
Even just the process of building and working through to figure out which solution will work the best is enjoyable. One of my favorite things with the projects, is after it's complete, go back and look at all the things that didn't work.
Unfortunately this project didn't make it to much further that this stage. I had only started laying out the graphic for a rough proof of concept when I got the call that that project wasn't going to go through to completion till there was more purpose for it. Here's the little bit that I did on the layout before moving onto the next thing. Click through to view the full size.
I've been busy, but I've gained some new tricks and skills. Super busy. 7 days and 70 some hours a week busy.
The upside is now I have a solid working knowledge of tracking 3d into video! Plus all sorts of other useful stuff!
I'll have video's with fun 3d integration up in the next week, also a 30 second cartoon called "detective dog," as well as some photos I've been sitting on for awhile.
The last month and a half in a nutshell for the curious, I got picked up by a production company to do design full time, still working weekends at the bicycle shop, and still working with all of my freelance clients to make sure they're all covered. Out of the last 40 some days, I've had 2 off, the 4th of July, and the saturday following, mostly because I had to locate my stolen phone. All in all it's been a lovely, if a little hectic time. Though, I did just put in my two weeks at the bike shop so soon I'll be able to work on my personal projects (see: anything posted here) while the sun is still up! Cheers
Designed this yesterday for a friend who's involved with NorthWest Vinyls.
For the moment I might not be posting quite as regularly as I'm watching tons of tutorials and teaching myself you to use AfterEffects and Premier Pro proficiently. Though, this has promise for much cooler things in the future!
Printed freshly today! The Dead Girl shirt! The folks over at fingers Duke were printing these late into the evening so they could have them ready for a new t-shirt Tuesday.
Plus, it's GLOW IN THE DARK. I'm going to turn out the lights where ever I go just so I can use it like a flashlight to see. I'm sure that I'll have to be careful not to aim it directly at people so I don't blind them (with awesome).
I'm excited to see this design printed, or at all for a few reasons. This design was one I had done a couple of years ago (2010), and to have it show up again was quite my hearts delight! I was 100% sure that this was one of the designs that had gone up in smoke in the great 2011 digital fire and computer crash. So to get have it printed now, well, I did a merry little jig!
The initial conversation went sorta like this is a nutshell.
Fingers Duke, "Hey Joe, you remember that day of the dead girl that you designed a couple years ago? We were wondering if we could print those?"
Joe, "I wish you could my friends, but alas they have left the digital realm and only exist on a higher plain now."
Fingers Duke, "Come again?"
Joe, "They got deleted when my computer and backup went down."
Fingers Duke, "Oh, weeellll, we just found a copy of the files on one of our computers, so we can just print from that."
Joe, "…….Awesome…." Then the single tear rolled down my cheek as I realized that maybe life was more like the movies than I had acknowledged.
All that aside they're a very cool shirt that is very appropriate for the halloween season. Also they are printed in a verity of styles ranging from tee to hip loose sweatshirt type deal.
You can also see them on the Fingers Duke blog or even purchase one (or all of them) here!
You can find these at the Fingers Duke store in the Kitsap Mall or in their online store right here!
A little while before my computer took a dive, I had the opportunity to do this show flier for Zoe Muth and the Lost High Rollers.
And just today I finally got around to actually shooting in a couple snaps of the flier.

Deciding on continuing your education after college is a responsible step. You dedicate yourself to science and make it an important part of your life hence. In order to plunge into the things of significance and not to distract on trifles, contact the reliable paper editor online. Check the wide range of the editing services, going from the simplest tasks of revising college essays, to the fundamental ones of performing the editing of the dissertations. The experience of the English native speaker linguists will make your academic papers the chez-d-oeuvres of writing, while the underlying ideas will be presented clearly and comprehensively. If there are any questions on your part, enter our live chat to get the reply within the online mode!
How to define the optimal proofreading rate PhD thesis
Writing and executing your PhD thesis is an enormous task requiring concentration and ingenuity. It is a long work, too. You deal with the notions of the high level of abstraction, such as logical conclusions, arguments, philosophical backgrounds and so on. You also have to be precise in detail. Each line of your text must be confirmed and reconfirmed by official sources. See the tips on how to select the theoretical sources for your academic papers. If you are not a native English speaker, see how to learn English speaking with fun.
Meanwhile you will also have to get prepared for your postgraduate exams as well as fulfil the plan for your practical work. In such circumstances, you will definitely have no spare time at all. Lest you are an experienced linguist yourself, or you have written your PhD thesis long before you even started your postgraduate course, the help of the quality editor will be of a great use. Meanwhile see the tips and tricks for the successful preparation and passing of the exams, described in our blog for English grammar and editing.
Though proofreading a thesis is usually less difficult a task than, let us say, checking an essay of the first-year student, it is certainly much more voluminous. The volume of your PhD thesis may reach and exceed 100 pages of typing. Just to read it superfluously will take no less than half an hour. Let alone a thorough study aiming at spotting petty details and insignificant typos. That is why the assistance of the knowledgeable editor can be very helpful. Clarify the means and ways the professional linguist – English native speaker – can help in correcting the mistakes in your academic paper http://essay-editor.net/blog/dont-you-need-a-dissertation-editor.
However, though many of the editing companies hire the experienced professionals, they all offer different rates for their services. Even the principle of charging the work may vary. Let us examine the most frequent ways of charging the proofreading for a PhD thesis:
The rate for any of the editing tasks may vary depending on its volume, complexity, time deadline and so on. When choosing the editor, make sure you understand the system of the services' rating and cost charging. However, you must certainly look for the quality first and then look for the price. We have many interesting articles for you on our website, see some of them below:
How to write and edit a PhD thesis
Having talked about the rates, let's talk about the performance. Preparing the thesis for proofreading is also an important task, not sparing which may save you considerable time and funds. But first, let us determine what kind of dissertations are there and what is the difference between them. Remember, you can address any question to the top dissertation editors on the Internet 24/7!
The theses can be written in two different manners:
Preparing your thesis to professional proofreading is the task that can be skipped. Meanwhile attending to it will grant you additional benefits if not in the price, then in the time of the proofreading performance. Besides, your own linguistic skills will be strengthened. Here's an overview of what a professional proofreading must be http://essay-editor.net/blog/we-provide-only-excellent-proofreading. In order to perform a preparation you will need to fulfil the following steps:
Performing these steps will allow to reduce the influence of the editor, and also to save your funds. Yet this also depends on the type of the services' charging: if it is per word or per page, there is no use in doing the part of the work yourself. However if the individual approach to the services' rating is adopted these steps will allow you to minimize your expenses on the professional editing, yet receive the precise and straight text.
Even if your paper differs from a thesis in volume and level of difficulty, as well as in scientific methods, you still can apply the same editing techniques to it. For example, see the basics of the term paper editing service on our website. The diligence and skills applied by our editors are the same independent of the complexity of order and the academic level of the paper.
Another aspect to be discussed with regard to the thesis proofreading is the choice of the editor. Apart from the range of the rates and the principle of its charging there are several important factors that must be taken into account before placing your order with some particular company:
There are many aspects to be taken into account when selecting the right editing company for your thesis. Do not hurry making a final choice, consider all the alternatives and analyze them thoroughly. The dissertation is a highly important document for your scientific career and is a pass to your real scholarly activities. That is why there is no compromise accepted for its proper execution.
Make no compromise with the gaps in your knowledge of the English language, by signing up for our blog. Constant supply of the new articles on the most acute issues in the English syntax and grammar, followed by the set of posts on the most recent technologies in the editing field. You will also find all the needed support on our website, as you can contact us via the contact page or by means of a live chat. With the latter, you'll receive a professional consulting without any delay!

House In The Trees - Night
Photography : Steven Wooster
Located in the heart of London, the property runs parallel to and within short-walking distance from one of London's largest and most spectacular Royal Parks.
Once the entire site was cleared to a blank canvas, careful planning and accurate planting was used to obscure the surrounding buildings on three sides of the property's boundary walls.
An "L" shaped new build house was constructed on two levels, transforming a derelict and overlooked site into a contemporary home with a series of garden spaces.
The footprint of the house and layout of the garden was carefully positioned to enjoy a south-west facing aspect, whilst the intention of the planting was to obscure overlooking buildings. This "garden of trees" incorporates light-open branched species with light and airy-feathered foliage, allowing light to flood into each area of the garden whilst obscuring the view of the surrounding buildings.
A home and garden was created; by planting vertically with "layer upon layer" of impressive 6-10 metre high trees, together with boundary planting of 4 metre Pleached Acer Campestre (Field Maple) trees and a 3 metre-tall Taxus baccatta (Yew) hedge – forming a dense vertical green screen which develops into a "wave-formation" running parallel with the curves of the drive, creating a habitat for an array of wildlife.
Beyond the electronically operated Main Gate, which slides effortlessly open to reveal the house, the 'endless' garden and a pleached-tree-lined resin-bonded-gravel driveway to the garage. One-point perspective (dating back to Renaissance design) was used to create a strong visual effect. The overlapping of "semi-transparent-shapes" in the form of Birch, Oak and Honey Locust trees, draws the onlooker's gaze up the garden (like a stage set – low in the foreground and "climbing – level by level") into the distance.
The dynamic use of water adds impact and dramatic perspective :
The reflective pond, an impressive central element – cuts it's way through the levels of the garden, providing continuity, tranquility and calming sound. Water bubbles-up from its source at the highest level (midway in the garden) running "downstream" towards the main living area – the heart of the house, creating an air of serenity. A sense of flow is achieved through the use of a sequence of cascades, utilising and enhancing the changes in level within the garden.
This extensive city garden space combines simple and minimalistic style with energetic and bold planting. The local ecological bio-diversity is enhanced by "wildflower meadows" – featured throughout the entire project, providing a "blanket" of colourful wild flowers and grasses at Ground level and at First Floor Roof level where a modular green roofing system not only "greens-up" the area, but increases natural diversity – enticing bees, butterflies and insects to boost the local ecology.
The garden not only boasts a sophisticated cocktail of mature specimen trees – a statuesque Cornus controversa (Handkerchief Tree), Quercus phellos (Willow Oak), multi-stemmed Betula Nigra (River Birch) and Gleditsia triacanthos (Honey Locust Tree) – but also the project brings together formal and informal planting incorporating an "evergreen-backbone" of Taxus and Buxus and an abundance of perennials blended with grasses.
An intimate entertaining area with a large contemporary oak dining table, bordered by tall terracotta pots, is located in a sheltered "courtyard space" adjoining the Kitchen. Partly shaded, and obscured by the feathery leaves and open branches of the largest Gleditsia (Honey Locust Tree), a specimen Espalier Morello Cherry tree features as the main focal point at the heart of the space.
Hard landscaping incorporates massive slabs of textured fossilised honed limestone with "stepping stone" path details of the same material complimenting the resin-bonded gravel drive.
At the rear of the house, two limestone-paved Courtyards – a pair of external vertical spaces, planted with tall Gleditsia trees – can be viewed through glazed panels on all three sides of the Ground Floor living and entertaining spaces, adding dramatic effect to the view from the First Floor Gallery above.
When night falls, a sophisticated lighting system adds drama and tone, illuminating the trees and the movement of water, highlighting planting in pots as well as the main architecture of the building, whilst creating magical shadows and making this project a space to be enjoyed at all hours of the day – a retreat from city life.

Are you struggling to get your sex life back on track after having a baby?
Are you struggling to get your sex life back on track after having a baby? Are you left wandering where the romance, intimacy and connection with your partner has disappeared to since your baby arrived? Do you feel overwhelmed by the demands of your partner and now your new baby on your time and your body and sex is the last thing on your mind?
You are not alone! Three is a crowd..
Having a baby and the physical, emotional and psychological change that affects women and ultimately the couple is life changing and not always a positive and easy one. Even in the healthiest of relationships just the simple fact of a third person arriving in such an intimate and all-consuming way is a trigger for conflict and it's inevitable that this will affect your sex life. Sex in a relationship is always an expression of the emotional state and connection between the couple and so in order to get your sex lives back on track you need to address any underlying issues between you first. Once you do this and add a few of my tools for creating a sensual connection the sex will follow naturally.
Communicate Honestly
The addition of a baby to any relationship – no matter how wanted - is a huge change and change is always challenging. The connection between the couple is altered forever and it is something that is rarely talked about beforehand. Most people feel that they don't want to bring negativity to what is perceived as a joyous event. Talking honestly about how the addition of another person into your lives, and your bedroom will affect you both is very important and sharing the bad feelings and your fears, as well as your excitement is crucial to sustaining intimacy as a couple.
It is very common for women to go off sex completely after having a baby and this often leaves the man feeling frustrated and rejected.
Be a Team
The most common problem that occurs is when the couple allow their new baby to come between them and it can be almost immediate that both partners feel neglected by each other. Jealousy and a feeling of being taken for granted, left out and pushed aside are all very common feelings that are aroused in both partners but especially the man. This is nothing to be ashamed of and so try to accept that this is a normal part of the adjustment and never stop working together as a team.
Make a Plan
Ideally before you get pregnant sit down and work out both the practical and the emotional consequences of the new baby arriving. It is important to make a distinction between these two areas and you will find that once you are clear as a couple who is responsible for what in terms of child care, finances and running the household then the emotional stuff can be dealt with much more easily and with less conflict. Talk about sex, be honest about your fears and tell your partner directly what you need from them.
Get support
Men and women have different reactions and feelings after childbirth so try to have empathy with your partner, even if they have very different needs and desires from you. It is very common for women to go off sex completely after having a baby and this often leaves the man feeling frustrated and rejected. Agree to get outside help if needed, having a safe space to go and talk to someone and get everything out in the open can often resolve the situation in only a few sessions.
Make time to Connect
Make sure that you set aside time to connect in a sensual, rather than a sexual way through massage, touching, hugging, talking, spending time alone together without your baby and going on dates to remember what it was that you shared as a couple before the baby arrived. Get in touch with what you like about each other and this will emphasize a feeling of unity and connection.
Avoid Blame
Overall the main thing is to avoid blame. Try to be understanding if your partner is unable to meet your needs temporarily and don't take it personally. Make an effort to do small things for each other that show how much you care; buy each other flowers or gifts and give each other compliments and try to accept that if you want your relationship and sex life to get back to how it was at its best you will have to extend yourself.
Prioritise the Relationship
Putting the relationship first above everything else will provide a mutual feeling of love, security and a solid foundation for both of you to rebuild a satisfying sex life as well as making it easier to enjoy rather than resent your new bundle of joy!

There seem to be only two broadly viewed mechanisms of control of populaces by elites: government by force and government by fraud. In either case, the ruling elites always take care of their own interest and perpetuation first, regardless of long-term interests of their polities, well-being of their subjects or any notion of allegiance to their own stated ideologies. With the latter method — as it is practiced in much of the world — it would be dissembling, hypocrisy, and division of natural allies by carefully rationed patronage that are the most important tools of the elites' perpetuation. In the rare instances when ideologies trump interests, the elites in question merely self-destruct, and all too often take their polities along into perdition.

For Roxette's 30th anniversary world tour, five sets of slatted blinds formed the feature of this deceptively simple stage set. Each set of blinds was individually controllable, where the blades could be raised and lowered, and tilted open and closed. Throughout the show the slats were repeatedly rearranged to create a broad range of different looks.
When closed down, splashy colourful graphics could be projected onto the panels, reflecting Roxette's pop aesthetic, or blinds could be backlit to create distinctive silhouettes. When opened up, the slats caught both front and back light from above and below, breaking up the geometry of the blinds in different ways. Throughout the show, the staging could suggest both abstract and more figurative looks, a starry sky through blinds at night perhaps, or the horizontal bars of an analogue graphic equalizer. Additional depth was achieved by lighting the backdrop star cloth independently to the blinds in a range of complementary colours. Under strong direct light, the satin finish of the blinds gave a colder metallic look, for a harder, gleaming rock and roll feel.
The sets of blinds could also be individually deployed and retracted to form staggered, flying V, mid height, or asymmetrical arrangements across the width of the stage. This highly adaptable capability allowed for an extensive range of distinctive and bold looks, to accompany Roxette's wide ranging catalogue of songs.
