The kanji on the front reads "Tan Ren", and was created just for Scramble by a calligraphy artist in Kyushu, south Japan. It's a word that can be applied to your training - it means "forging", and invokes the same feeling as when a blacksmith forges a sword - intense heat and endless reworkings with the hammer.

OTHER COLLECTIONS BY: Ruffian
2010 September 10
Runway Reviews: Ruffian, Richard Chai Love, Cushnie et Ochs
Getty Images View Gallery
"It's kind of a serious collection, in a way," explained Brian Wolk backstage before the Ruffian Spring 2011 show. Inspired by Susan Travers, who was the only woman to officially serve with the French Foreign Legion, the duo delivered crisp, sophisticated frocks and skirts in golden and olive tones. Shocks of sapphire blue breathed playful life into the designs, imbuing them with a sense of modernity. "This is Travers' dream wardrobe, as we imagined it. We were really inspired by the notion of diplomacy," noted Claude Morais. Teeming with feminine elements like digitized leopard, bright blue ikat and silk jacquard jackets, the collection was at once demure and dramatic. Morais continued, "It's updated and very modern, but there is a bit of history. That's a Ruffian show! You have to learn something if you sit front row."
Dreamy and feminine from first look to the last, Richard Chai presented a bounty of fresh and light delights in soft hues of gray, nude and blush. Shocks of indigo and cobalt blue lit up the collection, and, true to form, Richard Chai Love was not light on layering. While least season was all about prints, color and embellishment, this season was comparatively minimalistic. "I wanted this season to be a really pure approach, and have it be about the cut of the clothes and the idea of proportion," Chai explained. Voluminous separates fell gracefully over long, translucent pieces and delicate, airy blouses were paired with resin-coated trousers, adding depth and texture.
After a mosly exclusively noir effort full of fur and spiked gloves for fall, Carly Cushnie and Micelle Ochs brought the draping and volume to go along with their usual edge. "The collection progresses from being very tailored to almost intentionally falling apart," said the designers. "Our girl's pleats fall apart, things peel, and drapery takes over." The designers' strength in their spring showing indeed continued to be their peel and shoulder wrap numbers, full of perfect peeks and tricks. Their nude lime looks were inspired, as were twisted floral numbers. The collection gave the designers' number of signature dresses to covet with a newly added splash of fluidity.

Solar power from your roof
Electricity rates historically rise - they could double in ten years. The sun, however, never sends you a bill. That means ten years from now, the solar energy you are collecting at your own home will still be free, while the cost of electricity from your utility will have most likely doubled in price. The amount of money saved with a solar installation varies based on your electricity usage and the solar resource available to you.
In addition, investing in your own roof combats economic crises and opens a 'roof savings book' under favourable conditions: with a solar power system you produce clean energy and thus receive guaranteed returns thanks to the feed-in tariffs specified under the German Renewable Energy Law. Whether you consume self-generated electricity directly on site or feed into the public grid, you will receive payment. Your solar power system thus becomes a 'roof savings book' – assured for over 20 years.

Comments about Triple Eight Sports Triple Eight Wristsavers Wrist Guards:
The velcro is not the best quality. I bought these for my son who is just starting out with rollerblades. On his very first ride, he fell and the wrist guards saved him from scratching his hands, so they work. They are good for kids starting out. I don't about kids/teens/adults who go crazy on skates in halfpipes etc.

About Washington
The nation's capitol isn't all politics: DC grooves at Adams Morgan clubs, dives into US history at the Smithsonian, kayaks through Georgetown, hits art openings on Dupont Circle and tries not to drift off during bill amendment votes on Capitol Hill.

About Boston
American revolutions and witch hunts happened here first, as historical sites ringing Boston Commons are sure to remind you. But down at the "bah" (Boston-speak for bar) the current talk is what's on at the Boston symphony or Isabella Stewart Gardener museum, what scientific breakthrough happened today at MIT, which band playing TD Garden got its start playing for change in Harvard Square, and when the Red Sox will ever win another World Series (sore subject).

The 101 Guide To Marketing For ArtistsSlowly I get to catch up with deviations on here, now I just need to make use of the journals more often
There are some things I would be glad, someone would have told me earlier...
Marketing is such a thing - since I´m freelancing 5 years now it is save to say that is no accident that I´m happily blessed with the "just right" clients and it all boils down to be due to authentic marketing. Honestly- I embrace everything that has to do with it, below you find my write up to get a better understanding of what it is all about.
I always found interest in psychology and marketing but when I jumped on the freelancing train 5 years ago I especially embraced anything that I could find to help me understand, use and practice marketing as a way to keep myself busy with work that I love to do and to collaborate with people who respect what I do.
In the process I learned much from many different experts and in this post I will forward what I´ve learn

The Essence of FursuitingHello FotoFriends!
It's been a long time since I wrote a journal… it's been quite a while since I was active anyway! It's about time I tried and change all that laziness into something productive!
Now this journal is not so much an update on what keeps me busy these days but more of an extended story of a very, very special photo submission of a moment in my life that I'll never forget.
The moment I am talking about is the life-changing hug you can see below.
Now let the story begin;
Little more than a year ago I was taking on the challenge of getting my drivers license. My instructor was an awesome guy and was interested in photography just like me! During the many hours we spent driving around we also spoke of fursuiting a lot because I just love to tell people about what keeps me busy and the things I enjoy doing.
During one driving lesson I spoke of the idea of fursuiting in the local zoo "Diergaarde Blijdor

Cherry Blossom Festival and Sakura Con!Hey guys! It's con season again and I'll be at the Cherry Blossom Festival in San Francisco's Japantown this weekend (April 12-13th), and at Sakura Con in Seattle Washington the weekend after (April 18-20th). As usual, I'll be there with all of my prints, books, buttons, and cards!
My table location for the Cherry Blossom Festival is on the lower floor of the Japan Center, right outside the Kinokuniya book store entrance. For Sakura Con, I'll be in the Artist Alley at table 411. I was actually unable to get a table in time for this con, but a kind artist, mind-crash offered to share his with me We both look forward to meeting everyone and making new friends so come by and say hi!

BUT PLEASE. Let me know if the design I make for you is not going to be used.
I would rather keep the design rather than give it away and let it gather dust forever. That's what made me stop last time...it was too sad. I will not be insulted if it is not to your tastes, so please let me know. ♥

Promotional key chains are practical products that are great marketing tools because they keep your company's brand in front of their users every single day. Essential items for automobile drivers for decades, they provide an attachment to keys to help avoid loss and make them easier to find among other items in purses or pockets. And because they have such a high level of functionality, they make excellent promotional products to market your brand. You may think that more fun or unique items like toys and games would attract more initial attention for your brand, but they do not tend to provide a lasting impact. If you are looking for an item with a longer life span, invest in a product that provides a practical use to the recipient like custom key chains.

It's a good kit but there isn't a wider polepiece spacing option and would like the Maple spacer option.
For me a very good kit
A very easy to use kit, but would like the option to buy other types of bar magnets , such as an Alnico 3
Great kit, but fits neck position mainly. I miss one for the bridge position pickup too.
Great kit, but no wider polepiece spacing opiton for bridge position pickups.
Just wound, potted and installed one of these. Very impressed with the quality and historical accuracy. Will buy again for sure!!!
I wound the pick-up (Alnico V magnets) as per the instructions and it sounds great. I wound it at 7.7K ohms, slightly mis-matched coils, about the same as the '57 classic. I have several gibsons and other guitars and I like the sound of vintage pick-ups. I also used a wooden spacer instead of the supplied plastic. I used an electric drill to wind the pick-up. The only thing that is odd about this kit is, all the other ZEBRA pick-ups I have (PRS and Seymore Duncan) have the cream coil as the adjustable coil, these have the cream coil as the slug coil. So it would look a little odd if I just replaced one pick-up. I'll write another review when I try the alnico II magnets. I think this is a very reasonable price for a great sounding pick-up.
I recently bought 2 of these kits, and the quality was great. the slugs DO go into the bobbin, but you need to press them against a solid object with quite a bit of force. there is no need to drill them as someone commented.
overall, I would suggest getting this if you are interested. I had no issues with the wiring, and was a great experience.
will definately buy these again.
I picked up a few of these to put in a flame top LP copy I was making. I had mixed feelings on these. first the good, the quality of the parts were the best, no complains there. it came with instructions that were easy to follow, but a few minor things were left out.
now for the bad. this kit did not include a pickup cover, which to me it should have been better disclosed that it was not part of the kit. the hook up wires included should have been longer. I recommend that anyone making these buy your own 28 gauge hook wires to use, because the kit does not come with enough. same story with the 2 and 4 conductor wire. the cost of leaving an additional 2 inches or wire would cost pennies and would make this kit rake much higher for me. also the metal rods do not go into the slug coil and there's no information in the instruction why this is.
you will need to drill it out gently to be able to push the slug coils inside the coil. Make the slugs sit flush with the top of the coil (BEVELED SIDE GOING TOWARDS THE BASEPLATE) and add a very small drop of super glue on the underside of the coil to keep them from moving once they are in place and allow proper drying time. also the screws fit a bit too snug on the adjustable bobbin. I had to use an screw from an old gibson humbucker the work out the bobbin first to make sure the new screws weren't too tight. Also old gibson bobbins were segmented on the inside of the coil, and these are smooth. I have no idea if this would do anything for tone or not, just sayin…
another thing is I wish this kit came with options like gold hardware for example or double cream bobbins, different lengths for the bobbins (just in case someone wanted to put one of these in a strat for example) and more magnet options. according to seth lover most 50's PAF's came with alnico 4 mags, but 2 and 3 were also used, but NEVER 5's. alnico fives were used later in the 60's versions almost exclusively and earlier on the 50's P-90's. GE was the company that provided gibson with these magnets, but you can find the 50's correct magnets pretty easily with a google search.
the plastic spacer on these should have stretched the whole space of the baseplate fence in my opinion, even if it's not necessary, it just looks better. The 50's PAF's didn't use a plastic spacer like in this kit, they use a maple wood spacer. I just made my own out of a square shaped dowel I had in my workshop. This will add a wee bit of treble to the pickup. 50's PAF's also only used plain enamel 42 gauge copper wire, which I'm sorry to say stew mac does not currently stock. Despite my complaints here, I will order these again, the price is right and like I said before the quality is great.
Great kit, and fun to make! Great sounding, and its so easy to buy this since all the parts are here! However, the instructions left me wondering... I tried to follow them, but I think the instructions are not ment for first time builders.
It was too difficult to get the finish-end of the coilwire through the hole. I now make my own custom wiring for this, but I still use this kit! Would love to see some extra magnets.

College of Lockpicking Workshop
Tuesday, 4/24/2012
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
TechShop Mid-Peninsula
You can pick your friends.
You can pick your beer.
But can you pick . . . a lock?
Join us on Tuesday, April 24th, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. as we embark on an ancient mechanical adventure to explore the inner workings of a modern lock, first developed by the Mesopotamians and Egyptians over 4,000 years ago. Led by lockpickers Eric Michaud and Jamie Schwettmann, this workshop will cover – soup to nuts – everything you need to know about how common locks work . . . and how to pick them open.
Whether you're a complete novice curious to find out what "pin-tumbler" really means, a homeowner protecting your family's treasures, or a veteran lockpicker with questions about advanced locks and techniques, this event is for you! With two solid hours of history, mechanical diagrams ("lock pr0n"), and hands-on lockpicking instruction, first we'll open your minds, and then we'll open some locks!
To properly learn this ancient art, you'll need the proper tools. By registering for a ticket with a lockpick set, this guarantees you a seat at the workshop, and reserves – all for you – a brand-new 10-piece custom lockpick set by Southern Specialties, hand-picked by Eric and Jamie to maximize utility for beginners and locksport enthusiasts alike, and offered for only $30.
If you already have some picks you're itching to practice with, you can bring them along, and your workshop cost is only $50!
Space is limited so make sure to
register today!

Cellar/Tasting Notes Between 900 and 1,000 cases are normally made of the luxury cuvee, the Hermitage Les Bessards. An astonishing wine for the vintage, the 2011 is a candidate for the wine of the year in the entire Rhone Valley. Its black/purple color is accompanied by copious aromas of pen ink, licorice,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is utter perfection in the glass – an awesome wine both comparable to and eclipsing the otherworldly 2003. Saturated purple to the rim, with an extraordinary nose of incense, fruitcake, blackberry and black cherry notes with some subtle roasted herbs,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted, the monumental 2009 Cos d'Estournel has lived up to its pre-bottling potential. A remarkable effort from winemaking guru Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot (33%) and a touch..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 is one of the greatest Leoville Las Cases I have ever tasted, which is saying something given the many compelling wines that have been made at this estate. A final blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc has resulted in a wine that appears to be a hypothetical..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A monumental wine, this historic La Mission-Haut-Brion was the last vintage made by the descendants of the Woltner family, who had owned this estate for decades prior to selling it to their neighbors, the Dillon family (the American owners of cross-street rival, Chateau Haut-Brion). The 1982..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 1982 Lafite possesses a dark, dense ruby/purple color with only a subtle lightening at the rim. Spectacular aromatics offer jammy cherry and black fruits intertwined with lead pencil, mineral, and smoky wood scents. Powerful for a Lafite, this wine unfolds to reveal extraordinary richness,..
