PARTYCITY.com Halloween skin
PartyCity.com uses gateway pages to house various categories for the consumer to click on. I would composite imagery as needed, using limited imagery provided by the vendor to create a scenery or a collage of products. During the various seasons, I had to design specifically for that season, example: Halloween. For Halloween, I had to skin the entire Halloween experience to match store signage and catalogs.

Tides and friends Part I: Canada's sovereignty under assault
Winningreen Issue Alert
Tides and friends Part 1: Canada's sovereignty under assault by wealthy U.S. liberal foundations
By Gretchen Randall
Date: February 22, 2012
Issue: The issue is not simply that President Obama is kowtowing to his far left base by rejecting plans to build the Keystone XL pipeline to bring oil from Canada to the U.S. Now Canada has a fight over building a pipeline to carry the oil from Alberta to its west coast as well as over whether oil production from tar sands should be allowed for environmental reasons. The campaign against these issues is being funded by millions of dollars from American foundations such as those started by the Hewlett and Packard families, the Pew Trusts, the Ford Foundation and of course, the Tides Foundation.
Tar sands or oil sands are a combination of bitumen, water, clay and sand. This involves mining rather than the conventional oil drilling to get the bitumen which contains a thick oil. A separate process is then needed to separate the sand, clay and bitumen to get to the oil and then refine it. Alberta happens to contain the largest oil sands deposits in the world outside of Venezuela with little production being conducted in the U.S.
The opposition to tar sands began in 2008 according to a report from the Daily Caller when the Rockefeller Brothers Fund suggested funding several environmental organizations to begin fighting both tar sands and the Keystone XL pipeline. In addition, Vivian Krause, a reporter for the Financial Post, a Canadian newspaper, has found that, "since 2000, U.S. foundations have granted at least $300 million to various environmental organizations" to fund several campaigns in Canada.
Here are just some of the foundations started by American entrepreneurs which have funded these campaigns:
• Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (founder of Intel) $92 million
• William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and David and Lucile Packard Foundation combined gave $90 million
• Pew Charitable Trusts (founded by owner of Sun Oil) $82 million
One of these campaigns is to allegedly protect the Great Bear Rainforest which encompasses about 21 million acres along the Pacific coast from Vancouver to the southern tip of Alaska. Their effort is to stop oil tanker traffic in the coastal area which would end Canada's oil exports to Asia. Other campaigns include the Tar Sands Action campaign and the Boreal Forest Initiative to stop oil and gas development in Canada. This effort to stop logging, road building, mining and oil and gas exploration in half of Canada has received $57 million from Pew Trusts.
In Part II we will explore how Tides USA and Tides Canada are supporting similar efforts often with money from donors who wish to be anonymous and thus have no fingerprints on the groups they are supporting.
Comment: Vivian Krause, in the Financial Post, "As I see it, the campaign against Canadian oil, put on steroids by U.S. foundations, has created a negative foil, a background of bad press and fear without which it would have been more difficult to push through the billions in U.S. government grants, loans and subsidies that were made in the U.S. in order to develop renewable energy."
Comment: Note that each of the donations mentioned above is many times the entire budget of Chicago's Heartland Institute, the organization which was recently maligned for efforts to bring rational debate to the climate change issue.

Marvellous Modernism in Moscow: Apartment in Russia is light, spacious and incredibly well designed
As you walk into this modern apartment located in Moscow, Russia, it is clear to see how much thought has gone into the design and execution of this interior. As soon as you walk into the apartment, the sheer amount of light that bounces off the white walls is astonishing and really opens up the whole place. Designed by local company SL Project, the apartment oozes contemporary living and has some rather amazing and elegant design features. The designers skilfully diluted the white flush of colour with black accents and other neutral colours that can be seen in the furniture. Despite its relatively small construction, the apartment consists of an open living room where there is a kitchen and dining area, a bright minimalist bedroom with corner window, children's room and bathroom, which overlooks the city.

Grandmother and her family lived in Missouri between the North and South. Soldiers from both armies would come by and eat everything they could find in the house. They would kill and eat a cow or calf, and what they couldn't eat, they took with them. The bushwhackers were worse than the soldiers. They had killed all the livestock and chickens except one old hen that managed to escape.
My aunts and Grandmother decided to have her for Sunday dinner before the bushwhackers could get her. The dinner was nearly ready when they saw the bushwhackers coming down the road. They grabbed the old hen and buried her in the garden. The bushwhackers searched the house, but the dinner was safe.
My uncle was with the Union Army, and when they were camped close to home he would come home. They were camped near Chillhowee, and one cloudy night he walked home. Some of our close neighbors were bushwhackers and were waiting for him. Grandmother had a one and a half story house, and part of the family would keep watch from the upstairs window. During the night they saw the bushwhackers coming, and my uncle climbed out one of the upstairs windows onto the roof. He hid behind a large fireplace chimney. They watched the house for a long time before they finally gave up. He got back to camp safely.

Back in 1955 a call went out from the editors of the then CAPPER's Weekly asking for readers to send in articles on true pioneers. Hundreds of letters came pouring in from early settlers and their children, many now in their 80s and 90s, and from grandchildren of settlers, all with tales to tell. So many articles were received that a decision was made to create a book, and in 1956, the first My Folks title – My Folks Came in a Covered Wagon – hit the shelves. Nine other books have since been published in the My Folks series, all filled to the brim with true tales from CAPPER's readers, and we are proud to make those stories available to our growing online community.

The Beginning
The history and development of Indian Ordnance Factories is directly linked with the British reign in India. East India company of England for their economic interest in India and to increase their political hold considered military hardware as vital element. During 1775 British authorities accepted the establishment of Board of Ordnance in Fort William, Kolkata. This marks the official beginning of the Army Ordnance in India.
In 1787 a gun powder factory was established at Ishapore which started production from 1791 ( at which location Rifle Factory was established in 1904). In 1801 a Gun Carriage Agency at Cossipore, Kolkata (presently known as Gun & Shell Factory, Cossipore) was eatablished and production started from 18th March, 1802. This is the first Industrial establishment of Ordnance Factories which has continued its existence till date.
Growth of Indian Ordnance Factories
The growth of the Ordnance Factories leading to its present setup has been continuous but in spurts. There were 18 ordnance factories before India became independent in 1947. 21 factories have been established after independence - mostly, in wake of defence preparedness imperatives caused by the three major wars fought by the Indian Armed forces. 40th Factory is under establishment at Nalanda, Bihar.
Main Events
Main events in the evolution of Ordnance Factory can be listed as below:

The following information from GF Data highlights data regarding private equity-sponsored M&A transactions with enterprise values of $10 to 250 million. It is based on information from 223 private equity firms.
- M&A activity in the second quarter of 2014 continued to be driven by a scarcity of quality middle-market businesses for sale and an abundance of debt financing available to their potential buyers.
- Valuation multiples have remained virtually unchanged form 1Q – averaging 6.4x for the quarter.
- The number of deals for companies in the $10 – 250 million range in 2014 compared to 1Q and 2Q of 2013 has increased 41 and 70 percent, respectively.
Debt Levels
Debt levels, especially on larger size transactions, have never been higher. From 2011 to 2013, total debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) sat at 3.4x every year. As of 2Q 2014, total debt averaged 3.9x, an increase from 3.6x in 1Q.
Add-on Acquisitions vs. Platform Deals
Over the course of the year, add-on acquisitions have been more highly valued than platform deals, with add-ons trading at an average of 6.8x and platforms at 6.1x in the past two quarters. Typically, platforms are valued at .2 - .3x more than add-ons. This is especially true in the $10-25 million tier.
Prevalent Industries
Manufacturing, distribution, health care services and business services dominate deal volume, comprising about 80 percent of all activity. Distribution and health care services in particular are being valued above historical averages.

The Design and Manufacturing Technology fields provide a variety of employment opportunities for trained individuals. For every manufactured object, from a rubber shoe sole to the gears in a car, there are technical drawings or computer models that describe the physical shape of the object. Designers and engineers research, develop, design, manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices, including computer hardware. CAD systems are used to create and store the component and assembly 3D models and generate 2D drawings and plans.
The 2D and 3D drawings produced in CAD systems are then converted into models and prototypes by production engineers or others working in manufacturing including computer numerical control (CNC) machinists and machine operators, CNC programmers, research & development machinists, and mold makers. Manufacturing professionals use the computer models for guidance in configuring and operating the machinery used to produce the final object. Many of these final processes are completed by using sophisticated computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines or 3D printers.
Employment Outlook
The California Employment Development Department (EDD) collects data about the state's workforce. These data include information about the number of people employed in the field, job outlook, and wage information. The California EDD predicts for the period 2008-2018 the number of openings for computer-controlled machine tool operators to increase by nearly 6% and industrial engineering technicians to increase by 12%. In addition opens due to growth, there are predicted to many replacement openings as the result of an upcoming wave of retirements. For more detailed information about positions in the manufacturing and CNC technology fields, check the California Occupational Guide for the occupations listed below: http://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/occguides/Search.aspx.

This evening Caylee Hammack and Zach Dubois will be performing at an ASCAP show at the Country. Another early, happy hour show convenient for those at Vandy or working in Midtown. Two-for-one beers until 7:00 and a solid selection of drafts.
Caylee will kick things off at 6:00 with her full band. She classifies her tunes in the Americana / Folk-country arena with a focus on complex lyrics and story telling. She's been with ASCAP since she was 16 and made the move to Nashville from South Georgia three years ago. She is currently working in the studio on a new album, playing a couple one-off shows around town, and planning a tour to support the album upon its completion.
I first met Zach five years ago. He crashed on my couch for a week on his spring break from Notre Dame, trying to decide if he should get a "real job" or go on tour after graduation. Several tours and a few real jobs later, he has a video for the song "Work Harder" on daily rotation on CMT now. Growing up on in farming country in Elkhart, Indiana this has been Zach's motto for some time now and his hard work has certainly paid off. He's also in the early recording stages of his next project.
Looking forward to listening to Caylee for the first time and catching up with Zach this evening. Hope you can join us!

Wisdom comes all kinds of resources but sometimes, none is better that the wisdom that comes from older people. The thing that makes wise people wise…is their ability to take the nuggets of wisdom that they learn throughout their lifetime and apply it to their own lives.
The following short story, illustrates this my point perfectly.
An old country doctor was celebrated for his wisdom. "Dr. Sage," a young man asked, "how did you get so wise?"
"Weren't hard," said the doc. "I've got good judgement. Now, good judgment come from experience," he continued. "And experience – well, that comes from having bad judgement."

The Other Other Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel is a robot who was created on another planet. His mission is to help others avoid the wars that destroyed his homeworld:
So you might say that he was a strange being who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men....
His origin is told in flashback like that, because his memory is faulty. In a robot? He has to recharge his powers every day by passing his hand over that M-shaped medallion on his chest. It turns out that he has a young friend:
We learn that he's a writer for an important press service, and that his next assignment is to cover a revolution in the Caribbean. His flight crashes en route in a jungle. Captain Marvel investigates the area and discovers:
Inside the computer are some giant heads, who initially seem like villains, but then it turns out that they just need Captain Marvel's help getting enough power so they can return to their normal dimension.
Comments: A padded, silly story, although I enjoyed the cartoonish artwork and the insane gimmick of him separating his body into multiple pieces. Like many superheroes, Captain Marvel picked up abilities as needed by the plot:
The second story is pretty much more of the same. Aliens (from Venus) who seem like villains but are really kind of ambivalent:
And how can Captain Marvel prove to them that humans deserve to live? Why by defeating the Venutians' nemesis, the Gronks. And the Gronks are the "Bonus Feature" shown on the cover, Plastic Man. But not that Plastic Man:
Captain Marvel defeats him by using another yet-unrevealed power:
So the Venutians decide that the humans are indeed worthy of living, and head back to their own planet. Plastic Man escapes, setting up a return match with that villain in the next issue. But is he really a villain, or yet another ambivalent antagonist?
Comments: I get the sense that the publisher was intentionally pushing the envelope on copyright/trademark here to find out what they could get away with. Captain Marvel was a former Fawcett character, who had been retired after he was ruled a violation of DC's copyrighted Superman. But DC had not perfected their rights to the character by trademarking the name, so it was apparently out there in the public domain. On the other hand, Plastic Man had definitely been purchased by DC, and so by the next issue he was renamed:
Note that the envelope is again being pushed by that issue with Atom-Jaw clearly a swipe of the longtime Lev Gleason character Iron-Jaw (also a mid-70s Atlas-Seaboard protagonist), and Dr. Fate a GA DC hero.
BTW, I found out about the Silver Age Captain Marvel at one of my regular blogs from the sidebar, but I can't remember where; somebody wrote about him within the last two months or so and intrigued me enough to track down this issue. I'd be happy to link that blog, but I really can't remember where I heard about him. Anybody? Bueller? Update: Jim pointed me to Gorilla Daze, where Allan wrote about the other other Captain Marvel a few months ago. Update II: Booksteve also covered the faux Captain Marvel just last week.
6 comments:
Pat, I think you might have read about him at Gorilla Daze. -- Jim
Does anyone know why Marvel got the Capt. Marvel name first? Does Marvel own the name? I assume they do, because the name is never used on the cover...Thanks
- Pat said...
Thanks, Jim. TMdess, I assume it's because Marvel went out and trademarked the name Captain Marvel. Of course, they also had the plain old Marvel name trademarked as well. DC didn't buy the rights to the old Captain Marvel until sometime around 1970, by which time Marvel's version had already hit the newsstands.
- Booksteve said...
Much fun! Always loved these. Did a brief piece on 'em for my new 1966 blog last week. Somewhere at Booksteve's Library I once posted a sixties newspaper clipping that explained how Marvel eventually locked down the rights to the name but I can't find it now.
As far as I know, by U.S. law you cannot copyright the title to a book or magazine. Neither can you copyright a name, but you can trademark it, if it is original (such as Tarzan).
Under those rules Marvel does not own the title "Captain Marvel", but Martin Goodman (the owner of Marvel Comics at the time) was smart enough to know that if he published a comic with that title it would prevent DC from doing it, since if they did there would be confusion with the distributors and DC's sales would be hurt.
As for this particular comic. I remember seeing it when it came out (reading it in the grocery store) and thought it was one of the stupidest things I had ever seen. Since it got quickly cancelled I can only assume other kids thought the same way.

I believe I read about him in Roy Thomas' Alter Ego Magazine.

Darunavir Ring
Fast facts
- Acts against: HIV-1
- Delivery method: Vaginal ring
- Active ingredients: Darunavir, an antiretroviral (ARV) drug; second ARV (TBD)
- Length of action: Three months
- Status: Preclinical development
Why is the darunavir ring important?
Darunavir is a protease inhibitor, a mechanism of action that has not been used for HIV prevention. Combining darunavir with other ARVs that use different mechanisms of action against HIV in a single product may help increase the breadth of protection and reduce the chance of acquiring drug-resistant virus.
How does the darunavir ring work?
Building on previous work in the field on combination rings containing darunavir, IPM is exploring the development of a flexible, long-acting ring designed to slowly release darunavir, a protease inhibitor currently used for HIV treatment, and another ARV into the vagina over the course of 90 days. Women would insert it themselves and replace it every three months.
What is its development history?
Darunavir is currently a marketed drug for oral HIV therapy. After negotiating a license to darunavir from Janssen in 2015, IPM is studying the drug and its properties to design a robust strategy to formulate darunavir as a long-acting vaginal ring.
What are the next steps for the darunavir ring?
IPM is currently conducting pre-formulation and characterization studies on darunavir to inform the design of a ring development program to be launched in 2017.
Who is IPM currently partnering with to develop and test the ring?

Product Description
The CargoBear is the new modular roof rack system by Nakatanenga. The beams are exclusively made in Germany from Aluminium-Magnesium Alloy with high-end powder coated finish. The system can be taken apart completely and is endlessly flexible!
It is the flattest roof rack on the market with only 60 mm above standard vehicle roof height.
The beams are designed to work with the movement of the vehicle despite the high stability.
The rack contains incorporated lashing rails to enable the fastening of the cargo wherever you need it. Please use double-studs only!
Every module comes with 3 powder coated chequer plates; you can fit them but don't have to if you don't need them.
Whether you need a roof rack in full length for your Defender or only a short platform, the CargoBear is an optimal reconciliable system.
Please note that the "extension module" is not a fully adequate roof rack, they are only extensions for the roof rack.
This is just the beginning of the CargoBear roof rack system. During the year an extensive range of accessories will be developed such as awning brackets, mounting material for LED rails, spare wheel carrier, jerry can holder, etc. the possibilities are almost endless.
The CargoBear roof rack is also available powder coated in RAL colours – since this would be a custom-made product against charge it is excluded from redemption or replacement
Material: Aluminium-Magnesium-Alloy (AIMg3)
Length short: 1005mm - comes with 3 chequer plates
The quick assembly tent frame pictured is not included in the delivery.

Once again, I'm participating in Reduce Footprints' Change the World Wednesday challenge. This past week's challenge was:
This week only use reusable mugs/glasses. Yep ... for seven whole days, refuse anything that isn't reusable. Bring your own mug to your favorite coffee shop ... haul your own glass to the soda dispenser at the corner convenience store ... carry your own mug/glass to fast-food restaurants. If a drink comes in something that will be tossed out ... either don't buy it or use your own vessel.
Oh, I thought for sure I had this one in the (reusable) bag! We rarely eat a fast food restaurants. I gave up going out for coffee a few months ago (read about how I broke the habit here). My biggest problem is that most restaurants serve kid's drinks in plastic cups that get thrown away after one use. But I've long been taking those cups home to recycle or reuse, and try to bring them back if we're going to the same restaurant. I also got some good ideas here.
Then my husband and I decided to take the kids to Moe's for dinner one night this week. It was a special treat...we all like their Mexican food, and it's fast enough that the baby usually doesn't get upset and we can make it home in time for bedtime. I even brought the kids' cups from last time we were there. But Moe's is a fast food restaurant. The cups for adults are disposable. As a nursing mom, I'm thirsty CONSTANTLY. Skipping a drink just wasn't an option. So I got one. Challenge--FAIL.
Oh well, part of why I like these challenges is that they open my eyes and make me think about things. What did I learn this week? I'm a nursing mom, and it's irresponsible to go out without a drink. I have a reusable water bottle, and I need to be better about bringing it with me where ever I go. That way I won't be stuck somewhere, thirsty, needing to stop to buy a drink. Not only will this help me reduce the amount of garbage I generate, it will also help me save money so I'm not tempted to buy a drink whenever I get thirsty.

Senators-Devils PreviewNHL.com @NHLdotcom
GAME: Ottawa Senators (34-11-4) at New Jersey Devils (26-20-6).
TIME: Wednesday, 7:30 p.m. EST.
A pair of standout goaltenders are expected to face off in Ottawa, where Dominik Hasek and the Senators host Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils.
Brodeur, an eight-time All-Star, is second among active goaltenders with 427 wins and recorded four shutouts in January. Hasek, who has been an All-Star on five occasions, is fourth among active netminders with 322 wins and has two shutouts in his last three starts.
Brodeur has been idle since Friday, when the Devils lost 4-0 to the Florida Panthers for their second straight shutout loss. New Jersey also lost 1-0 in overtime Thursday at Tampa Bay and has not scored in more than seven periods.
"When you don't score a goal in two games it's disappointing," Devils general manager and interim coach Lou Lamoriello said. "We just weren't sharp, it's as simple as that."
The last time the Devils were shutout in consecutive games was Dec. 20-22, 1983. New Jersey runs the risk of getting shutout three straight times for the first time in franchise history when they face Hasek, who has five shutouts this season.
The Devils gained just three points on their four-game road trip, but Brodeur posted a 1.74 goals-against average and had a shutout. He has won five straight home games and is 14-5-2 with a 2.38 at Continental Airlines Arena this season.
Lifetime, Brodeur is 23-14-4 with a 2.03 GAA against the Senators.
Offensively, Devils center Scott Gomez has five goals and nine assists in his last seven home games.
Hasek watched his backup, Ray Emery, lose 5-0 Monday to the Boston Bruins. The Senators, who lead the league with 200 goals, had 44 shots but were unable to avoid their fourth shutout loss of the season.
Emery made his first appearance since Jan. 7, and made 19 saves. He is 2-4-1 since setting an NHL record Nov. 29, when he won his ninth straight win to begin his career.
Daniel Alfredsson had a six-game point streak snapped by the shutout, recording five goals and six assists in that span.
Center Jason Spezza has three goals and eight assists in his last eight games, and leads the team with 40 assists.
Hasek, who turned 41 Sunday, had started each of Ottawa's eight previous games (6-1-1) before Monday's loss. He leads the league with a 1.97 GAA, and is 6-1-0 in his last seven starts against the Devils with a 1.29 GAA and three shutouts.
Hasek's last game against Brodeur was a 4-1 loss on Dec. 1, 2001, when he played for the Detroit Red Wings.
STANDINGS: Senators - 72 points, 1st place, Northeast Division. Devils - 58 points, 3rd place, 12 PB, Atlantic Division.
TEAM LEADERS: Senators - Alfredsson, 32 goals and 70 points; Spezza, 40 assists; Chris Neil, 113 PIM. Devils - Brian Gionta, 29 goals and 50 points; Gomez, 28 assists; Colin White, 53 PIM.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Senators - Power play: 20.8 percent (64 for 307), 3rd in NHL. Penalty killing: 85.1 percent (263 for 309), 5th. Devils - Power play: 17.0 percent (51 for 300), 19th. Penalty killing: 81.9 percent (190 for 232), 16th.
GOALTENDERS: Senators - Hasek (26-7-3, 5 SO, 1.97 GAA); Emery (8-4-1, 1, 3.23). Devils - Brodeur (24-16-4, 4, 2.58); Scott Clemmensen (2-4-2, 0, 3.83).
SEASON SERIES: Senators, 1-0.
LAST MEETING: Nov. 19; Senators 5-4. At Ottawa, Mike Fisher scored twice and Emery made 25 saves for Ottawa.
ROAD/HOME RECORDS: Senators - 14-6-3 on the road; Devils - 15-7-3 at home.

Verizon's Samsung Droid Charge caught in the wild
posted by FAUguy / Mar 09, 2011, 6:41 PM
Other than the Samsung Stealth coming with 4G LTE, it features an impressive 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus with 480x800 WVGA resolution, a newer 1GHz Hummingbird processor (but still a single-core), an 8MP autofocus rear camera with 720p video recording and a 1.3MP front camera for video chat, HDMI output, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth v3.0, 828MB of internal storage, and microSDHC memory card slot. It will come with Android 2.2 Froyo and with a new version of Samsung's TouchWiz interface, through the person who took these pictures says they installed LauncherPRO on the phone because they like how it looks better.
So which Verizon 4G smartphone do you want, the Samsung Stealth, HTC Thunderbolt, Motorola DROID BIONIC, or LG Revolution?
We recieved a tip today from a person who claims to have some more info about this device. They say the phone will actually be called the Droid Charge, as the name "Stealth" is already trademarked and owned by another company. The included battery will actually be a 1600mAh capacity, not 1500mAh, and the camera will be able to record videos up to 1080p. Naturally we here have no way to verify any of this, but we're not crazy about the name "Droid Charge" and think "Stealth" sounds better.

it's only between the Bionic and the Revolution for me, however if a Droid 3 gets announced i'll probably go for that.

Completely on par with your comment. Droid 3 does sound like it will wait for the initial crazies to grab up the 4G devices as guinea pigs and they'll most undoubtedly drop the uber phone as soon as they feel they need a new carrot to wave. Until then...Enjoy

its not so much samsung not releasing android updates, as most are well aware, but the carriers adding and removing features that MUST work before they are released.

Samsung makes good phones no doubt but waiting for an update to a device is like watching paint dry. I am more prone to purchase a device like a variant of the Google Nexus S where Google shoots you the device updates directly with no crappy bloat-ware slowing down your device. Just give me what I need and I will buy the bag to match the outfit later.

Been waiting for the Thunderbolt since Feb 6th. I even did the pre-sale on it. Since it has been delayed so long I have lost interest in the thunderbolt and it's 1400 mAH battery. Since it looks like all 4 will be released in a few months I think I will wait and consider the Droid Bionic.

I believe being released with the "Droid" moniker on Verizon means no Bing on this phone. Seems to be the way they go with it.

Motorolla better hurry there asses up with the BIONIC or it will come out to late for the race. The physical buttons are nice on the Stealth though. we are seeing less and less of that now a days on phones. I would like to see something come out as sturdy as the Droid X and have physical keys. verizon is laggin i need a new phone haha

Each of this first wave of 4G phones will have something unique to offer: Tbolt: first to market (or so we thought!), Sense Stealth: AMOLED, physical buttons Bionic: dual core, qHD screen Revolution: .... I'm waiting for a 4G Droid 3 w/ improved keyboard this fall.

well it has the next generation snapdragon which is the only one certified to get Netflix streaming on an Android device (even though there's plenty of other ways to get your fix) and so far it's running stock Android 2.2 Froyo and it's watching it's delicious stock Gingerbread cookie bake in the oven, it might also be the first one to have voice over LTE too.

The specs of this phone are looking real nice. If it is true about the battery life, I will probably be picking this phone up. Although the qHD of the bionic sounds pretty good, I think the AMOLED from the fascinate is gorgeous and would settle with that. I think the Stealth is ugly, but I really don't care that much about appearance of the phone so long as it does what I need. Physical buttons are a good implementation as I hate accidentally touching the touch sensitive "buttons" on my incredible while playing a game or doing anything else. However, I am probably still going to wait until at least summer to see what comes out then. I really want something with decent battery life as the Incredible has sucked. I think if the Bionic has as good of a battery life as the Droid X it may be my choice, but as of now the Samsung Stealth is the best option in my opinion. Other factors that will persuade or dissuade my decision will be whether the Bionic has a locked bootloader or not. Also, since I may wait until summer I am considering waiting for the second batch of LTE phones (even if I have to wait until the end of 2011) as I know the second batch of Droid phones were significantly improved from the first batch (the original Droid and the HTC Eris v. Droid 2, Incredible, and Droid X), so I have a hunch that the second batch of LTE Droid phones will hit my sweet spot. I don't like to be an early adapter that jumps on the very first of anything as I know many bugs and issues are worked out in later releases. On the other hand, waiting 'til summer could be a bad choice on my part, as Verizon has stated that they plan on capping data. One of the best parts of Verizon is the unlimited data for smartphones. This would be especially nice on a rooted LTE phone as the wireless tether could potentially replace a land-based internet connection (for me anyway). All of these factors considered just make my decision more and more difficult. Patience is a virtue, but waiting too long could end up kicking me in the ass.

It's a pretty safe bet Verizon will eliminate its unlimited plans to coincide with the iPhone 5 release. At the very least they'll need to offer a lower priced data plan to better compete with AT&T's tiers. We'll see what happens when the first 4G phone arrives and if the unlimited plan applies to both 3G and 4G data, but I think in the meantime they should keep it available as a selling point. For myself, I won't buy a smartphone until something in the $15-20 range is made available again.

On the one hand, this is one of the sexiest-looking phones I've ever seen, and it has a great camera and a big, SUPER AMOLED Plus display, and a surprisingly good battery life on LTE considering it only has a 1500 mAh battery (the update said 1600, but is that just what it will ship with, or is that what this tipster's phone is using too?). On the other hand, it is single core, has minimal internal storage, and is only running Froyo (extra depressing considering it is coming out in May-June. Agreed, Stealth is a way cooler name than Charge, and Stealth fits perfectly, considering this phone's design is vaguely reminiscent o fa stealth plane in its curves. Didn't see any mention of the RAM on the phone, is that spec known? Though I live in Canada, so my money is essentially a non-factor when it comes to Verizon's 4G lineup, my favourite is definitely the Droid Bionic, simply because in terms of hardware, it is head and shoulders above the other three.

It's coming out mid April... and it will probably have Gingerbread on it's release. As for the specs, they're fine for 99% of users - don't be fooled by marketing. Single core is more than enough and same with it's internal storage since you can easily expand it with a microSD card (unlike the iPhone).

The only thing that I am worried about is this happening: the thunderbolt gets updated to 2.3 and samsung keeps telling us this phone will get 2.3 soon. 2.4 comes out and still no 2.3 for samsung. Samsung just says screw it and we get galaxy s 2 devices with 2.3 and dual core processors. That is why I won't buy this phone.

I don't really think that it'll have the "Droid" branding because that seems to be exclusive to the Motorola Android phones, with the exception of 2 HTC phones. I like "Stealth" and think that they could get away with calling it "Samsung Stealth 4G" I say that we'll just have to wait until it is officially announced and released to find out what this phone will be called and what specs it'll have.

I love Samsungs SuperAMOLED screens. They are awesome! But the support (ie promised, but never delivered Froyo 2.2) for their devices are horrible. They will lose business from me as well as many others because of this issue. Thank goodness for the other Korean phone maker, LG! I hope the LG revolution doesnt disappoint. From the specs it looks to be an awesome phone. I might, however, have to make the switch to whatever carrier comes out with the LG Optimus 3D. Dual core, Dual memory, and Dual channel, stereoscopic camera that take 3D stills and video...it definitely sounds enticing!

So they took the fascinate and made the screen bigger, tossed in a little extra ram and upgraded the OS.....doesn't sound like a worthwhile upgrade to me, especially when there is going to be much more powerful devices available when this is available.

Articles 1
There are lots of rules about the use of articles. Here we'll concentrate on 3 golden rules. Most mistakes with articles are made through breaking one of these rules.
1. When we say what people's jobs are, we use a/an
- She's an architect.
- He's a doctor.
- My grandfather was a teacher.
2. Singular, countable nouns always have an article – a/an or the – or another determiner (my, your, this, that etc.)
Remember that we use the indefinite article - a/an - when we talk about something that is not definite.
- I saw a good film yesterday. The listener doesn't know which film.
- There's a man at the door. We don't know who the man is.
- Do you want a drink? It's not a particular drink.
… and we use the definite article - the – when we talk about something more certain.
- I'm going to take the dog for a walk. The dog is a pet – it's not just any dog.
- Have you seen the car key? Speaker and listener know which car. It's not just any car.
- They live in the house opposite ours. There's only one house opposite. It's not any house.
3. When we talk about things in general we usually use a plural noun or an uncountable noun with no article.
- Birds eat worms. NOT
The birds eat the worms.
- Water flows downhill.
- Kangaroos live in Australia.
BUT We went to the zoo and saw the kangaroos. These are particular kangaroos – not kangaroos in general.
There are many other rules about articles but remembering these 3 golden rules will reduce the number of mistakes you make.

I don't tend to read short story collections very often, generally gravitating towards novels, but an intriguing recommendation from a friend led me to pick up Aimee Bender's The Color Master. And I am glad I listened to her, because her recommendation led me to one of my new favorite books!
I think what drew me into this collection more than others was the sense of fairy tale that ran throughout the stories. Aimee Bender writes in a clear, engaging way and has a brilliant imagination that enchants the reader. While at first glance each story is about ordinary people living ordinary lives, there is a spark of magic in every story that makes them something special. In one story, a talented seamstress is hired to mend tigers; in another a girl meets a stranger who happens to have a ring exactly like the one she threw in the river years ago; and in the title piece, the workers at a tailor shop strive to create the perfect blend of colors to make dresses the color of the moon, sun, and sky.
I look forward to checking out Aimee Bender's other work, and while I was not a fan of short story collections before, after reading The Color Master I've been converted, and I certainly am now!

Here is a summary of 14 articles related to best practices in leadership development (LD). I'm using these summaries to see what's out there, benchmark my work, and learn a few new things.
There are many good ideas here for LD, coaching, and training. How do your LD practices compare? Where are your opportunities for improvement? Which will work best for you and your organization?
I have listed the titles and authors so you can read them for yourself in full if you so choose. I hope you find these summaries thought-provoking, and that they help you move toward some of these best practices in leadership development!
Article Summaries – Best Practices in Leadership Development
Leadership Development Should Focus on Experiments
Ashkenas & Hausmann (HBR 2016)
[read it here]
- OLD: Give leaders new skills and hope they will change their behaviour
- NEW / BETTER: Give leaders real business challenges to solve and coach them through it
- RESULTS: This generates both learning and real business results—on real business issues
- "Leadership lessons become more real when you test them on an actual challenge"
Why Leadership Development Has to Happen on the Job
Melissa Daimler (HBR 2016)
[read it here]
- Pay attention to the evolving context your business is operating in
- Shift from workshops to continuous learning on the job, learning from your environment and from one another
- Helps employees be part of something bigger
Leadership Trends in 2016
Predictions: Executive Forum
[read it here]
- Boomers retire & millennials take over
- LD needs explode
- Flexibility becomes key: Millennials believe in personalization & results over structure
- Shift in office design: mix of collaborative space, personalized work stations, and telecommuting—affects leadership communication styles
- Employee engagement and retention
- Shift in benefits, e.g., paid maternity leave
3 Trends in Leadership Training & Development for 2016
Darleen Derosa, Business2Community
[read it here]
- Blended learning: combining training, coaching, and e-learning
- Gamification: using games and simulations for learning and engagement
- Mobile learning for learning anytime, anywhere: short spurts (micro-content) between other tasks; can involve social elements
Why Leadership Development Programs Fail
Gurdjian, Halbeisen & Lane (McKinsey Quarterly, 2014)
[read it here]
- Tie LD to real on-the-job projects that have a business impact and improve learning
- Make major business projects an LD opportunity as well; integrate LD components into the projects
- Overlooking context: Success in one situation doesn't guarantee success in another. One size doesn't fit all. Be clear on what your program is for—and focus on a few key/strategic/targeted competencies.
- Decoupling reflection from real work: Tie LD to real on-the-job projects that have a business impact and improve learning.
- Underestimating mind-sets (why leaders act the way they do): Identifying "below the surface" thoughts, feelings, assumptions, and beliefs is usually a precondition of behavioral change.
- Failing to measure results: Metrics enable you to track progress, make improvements, and validate your LD programs. You can monitor behavior (360 feedback), career development after training, ROI on action learning projects, departmental or regional results, business impact, productivity, etc.
Nine Best Practices of Leadership Development
Patricia Dammann (instituteod.com, 2014)
[read it here]

A New Era is Needed for Leadership Development
Howard Prager (www.td.org, 2016)
[read it here]
- LD needs to be accountable for identifying & developing successors; track, validate, improve
- LD needs to be a long-term business imperative and a consistent investment (vs periodic or episodic)
- Clarify the 5 W's of LD: rigorous, integrated plan
- Consistent / high expectations for leaders
- Align LD with strategy and organizational needs
- If you work in teams, learn in teams
- Leaders: care for your workers and for results
- Use your leaders as teachers: coach, mentor…
- Just in time learning—where & when it's needed

Developing the Next Generation of Leaders: Trends & Truths about the Future of Leadership Development
Ian Ziskin (hrps.org, 2015)
[read it here]
- It's our job to ensure leaders are prepared and have great opportunities for development
- All leaders are talent managers and work to connect talent across the organization
- It's not enough to know the business anymore; have to understand the external environment
- Hero leadership gives way to collective leadership: leadership is a team sport; it's all about collective leadership capacity
- LD must focus on cross-functional collaboration; integrated, multi-disciplinary, cross-functional perspectives and solutions
- Cross-company LD; moving leaders from one company to another for development
- Use coaching to prepare leaders for new situations in advance, rather than only learning from experiences and fixing mistakes after they occur
- Mass Customization: segmentation of pivotal roles, people, and learning opportunities: selectively differentiate LD experiences based on each leader's unique capabilities and role
- Focus on "whole person": where performance, purpose, community, and meaningful values align; develop healthy, balanced, well-rounded, purpose-driven leaders
- LD in smaller more digestible bites: developmental assignments and LD programs that support more agile, quick-turnaround, quick-hit, on-demand, and technology-enabled design & delivery models
- "Past track record is only a valid predictor of future success if the past looks anything like the future." Develop leaders who are "ready able": flexible, adaptive, savvy, and situationally aware
5 Trends for the Future of Learning & Development
Wentworth & Lombardi (Brandon Hall Group, 2014)
[read it here]
- Mobile learning is a small but growing method of LD: mobile learning apps, performance apps, Web-based sites…
- Growing importance of social media and social collaboration tools to foster a learning culture
- Adaptive learning (learning at your own pace) with just-in-time teaching & coaching
- The learning of the future must be closely aligned to overall corporate strategies (strategic focus)
- Focus on both business needs and individual development needs
- Metrics: include both business metrics and learning/HR metrics.
6 Leadership Development Trends for 2015
Isabel Williams (switchandshift.com)
[read it here]
- Need to learn how to mitigate generational differences. Millennials are team-players, high achievers, independent but not against authority, and grew up fully immersed in technology
- Globalization: leading across countries & cultures and in new environments & situations
- Building the leadership pipeline at every level
- Moving from the heroic leader (Lone Rangers) to collective leadership [teams of leaders & leaders of team; collaborative practice; emergent solutions]
- Moving from competency based development to "vertical" development, i.e., the stages that people go through as they grow mentally [and career progression up through the levels of leadership]
Leading in the 21st Century
Barton, Grant, and Horn (McKinsey Quarterly, 2012)
[read it here]
Six global leaders (CEO's) confront the personal and professional challenges of a new era of uncertainty.
- Leaders are operating in a bewildering new environment in which little is certain, the tempo is quicker, and the dynamics are more complex — a volatile, globalized, hyper-connected age.
- View the world through two lenses: a telescope, to consider opportunities far into the future, and a microscope, to scrutinize challenges of the moment at intense magnification—and shift back and forth with speed & ease
- Like "tri-sector athletes," leaders must able to engage & collaborate across the private, public, and social sectors
- Stay grounded during a crisis: coping with stress, chaos, crises, pressure, change…
7 Rising Trends in Employee Training & Development in 2016
ERC, Highland Heights, OH (2016)
[read it here]
- The 2016 Deloitte Human Capital Trends Report states that executives and HR leaders are "focused on understanding and creating a shared culture, designing a work environment that engages people, and constructing a new model of leadership and career development"
- The biggest portion of T&D is on LD
- More than half of all issued training and learning hours are instructor-led classroom training. Self-paced online is 19% and instructor-led online is 9%
- An ATD study noted that humans crave interaction, and tend to learn better in live environments. Behaviour & body language enrich the learning process with information and memorable experiences
Leadership Development: The Six Best Practices
Josh Bersin (joshbersin.com, 2008)
[read it here]
- Develop strong executive engagement in and commitment to LD [make senior leaders part of the solution]
- Define tailored leadership competencies: foundational (new leaders), advanced (mid-managers), mastery (executives)
- Align LD with strategy: design LD to support strategy and when reviewing LD discuss it in terms of its impact on the business/on business issues
- Target all levels of leadership
- Use a comprehensive, integrated learning approach, e.g., 360 feedback + workshops + coaching, etc.
- Integrate LD with talent management: LD has to be aligned with and supported by succession planning, performance management, recruitment, and selection
A Few Key Stats on Leadership and LD
These stats came from the articles cited above:
- Research has shown that when companies spend more time and money on training they have lower turnover rates, more top-performing employees, higher promotion rates and overall higher engagement and satisfaction. (Darleen Derosa, Business2Community, 2015)
- DDI research found that companies with high leadership qualities were six times more likely to be among the top 20 financial performers of all organizations, and those boasting high levels of leader engagement and retention, and strong leadership qualities, were nine times more likely to outperform their peers financially. (Isabel Williams, switchandshift.com, 2015)
- Companies spent more than $24 billion on leadership and management training worldwide in 2013, an increase of 15% from 2012. What's the ROI on that investment? (Ashkenas & Hausmann, HBR, 2016).
- According to the Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends 2015 Report, only 18% of programs are held accountable for identifying & developing successors. (Howard Prager, www.td.org, 2016)
- Technology-based training is up to 90% less expensive than traditional classroom based training. It cuts down on the time employees spend traveling as well as travel expenses (airfare, gas, mileage, hotel rooms, food). (Darleen Derosa, Business2Community, 2015)
- US companies alone spend almost $14 billion annually on leadership development. Colleges and universities offer hundreds of degree courses on leadership, and the cost of customized leadership development offerings from a top business school can reach $150,000 a person… Only 7% of senior managers polled by a UK business school think that their companies develop global leaders effectively, and around 30% of US companies admit that they have failed to exploit their international business opportunities fully because they lack enough leaders with the right capabilities. (McKinsey 2014)
- A 2012 poll by the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University showed that as many as 70% of Americans blame leadership crisis as a factor in the national economic decline. (Isabel Williams, switchandshift.com, 2015)
- The 2016 Deloitte Human Capital Trends Report noted that 89% of executives "rated the need to strengthen, re-engineer, and improve organizational leadership" as important or very important. (ERC)
- ATD's State of the Industry Report stated that the average direct expenditure on T&D per employee per year is $1,229 (32.4 learning hours per year), and high-performing companies spend more. (ERC)
- Post-training practice (practicing and using what you have learned) can improve learning effectiveness by 917%. (Mark Forman, Decisive Performance)
A Few Key Quotes on Leadership and LD
These quotes came from the articles cited above:
- "The only thing worse than training employees and losing them is not training them and keeping them" (Zig Ziglar)
- "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity" (Seneca) – LD is all about living at the intersection of preparation and opportunity. It's our job to ensure leaders are prepared and have great opportunities for development. (Ian Ziskin, hrps.org, 2015)
- Resilient leaders are those who have ambition for a cause greater than themselves. (Shimon Peres)
- "Learning is part of economic survival for most of us", and if businesses don't make an effort to continuously re-skill employees, they will fall behind. (Josh Bersin, Forbes)
I am not claiming any of this material for my own. I encourage you to read these and other articles on the best practices in leadership development for yourself. I also did some editing to make it easier to read in this format.

Hi Eds, enjoying your output in the silly pre-season before the window silly season. Will Woodburn be loaned out next season? My worry with him as regards making it to be a really great Liverpool player, is his lack of pace. He's unlikely to figure too much I'd have thought if we make 2-3 more signings.
{Ed001's Note - right now he is not set for a loan move, but that may change. A lot depends on what offers we get for him and if any would offer him the football he needs.}
1.) 28 Jun 2017 15:08:30
Cheers Ed, what I expected I guess. Like all young players who show early promise you wanna see what they can actually do away from that crazy "he's amazing; he said awful" hyperbole we fans can get caught up in.
{Ed001's Note - agreed. However it only takes a few games where they are not looking amazing before fans are ready to give up and move on to the next bright young thing coming through, see Origi for an example.}
2.) 28 Jun 2017 15:41:34
I love Origi have done since we signed him!
3.) 28 Jun 2017 17:14:58
Agree, JT but you will be shocked how many Liverpool fans on social media want him sold. It is mind-boggling.
01 Jun 2017 19:20:38
Hi Eds, top work as always. I'd say, rationally speaking, we are not going to get VVD are we? But are we actually trying too?
{Ed025's Note - imo no fabcrusoe, others think different but we will have to wait and see mate..
1.) 01 Jun 2017 19:35:52
Thanks for the swift reply. It looks like we may miss out on all our rumoured 1st choice targets; Sessengnon; Kieta and Brandt? But I guess that's usual even for wealthier clubs?
{Ed025's Note - the greedy scum bag agents are rubbing their hands together with all this interest in their players mate..
2.) 01 Jun 2017 19:37:50
It's not going to happen. It's painfully obvious we're short of quality at centre back (given that Lovren is too prone to brain farts, Klavan isn't good evolved the, Gomes is too raw and has suffered consecutive bad injuries and. We've no players in our u23 capable of stepping up), so it looks like we're going to either stick with what we've got (and struggle again) or waste money on the likes of Keane, since VVD will go to City or Chelsea.
3.) 01 Jun 2017 20:34:10
@Frankly, is VVD really that great? 🤔.
4.) 01 Jun 2017 21:06:11
If the choice was Keane, Gibson, Maguire or VVD he's miles better than all three of those and he's better than Lovren, Klavan and Gomes so it would be a setback.
Fabcrusoe's banter posts with other poster's replies to Fabcrusoe's banter posts
08 Aug 2017 21:43:36
Hi Eds, getting nervy out there it seems! If, as seems quite, not entirely likely, Phil goes and VVD doesn't come, it will be rightly considered a very bad window, with damaging implications to our ambition as a club added to that already done to our rep! But if those 2 transfers mentioned above happen/ don't. Do you see a last minute spending spree? Who the hell for I'd wonder?
{Ed025's Note - i dont think they will panic crusoe..
28 Jun 2017 15:11:28
Another question Ed (my boss has gone out so taking advantage) seeing as Kieta and VVD unlikely to happen this season, do you think we'll still get 2 in, in those positions? And is Ox the alternative to Kieta or was he in "addition" to Kieta?
{Ed001's Note - it is unlikely we will sign others instead of them, Ox is not really a direct alternative, Klopp would have liked both, but he is not going to just go and get a n other midfielder when the one he wants is not available. Unless another one with the right skillset is identified there will not be another. It is not likely this summer.}
1.) 28 Jun 2017 15:25:44
Ed would you be more inclined to thinking klopp would have another central defender lined up? Keita seems to be a rare breed, there won't be many alternatives and we have decent midfielders as is. I don't see VVD as someone all that different to many other quality defenders out therearly so surely klopp could unearth another. Although before he was mentioned we all believed and accepted klopp was happy with our cbs.
{Ed001's Note - possibly, though I think it is more likely that Klopp has yet to give up on VVD.}
2.) 28 Jun 2017 16:55:52
A lot of conflicting stories re VVD and I tend to agree with Ed regarding Naby Keita. I do think though that we will look for another CB if VVD is not available. Looks like Gomez is off to Brighton on loan with a guarantee of first team football.
3.) 28 Jun 2017 18:46:16
Tend to agree on VVD. Let's just hope that whatever way it ends up it doesn't get messy again. All dealings kept behind closed doors and only going ahead with it after Southampton accept he wants to join us. Unfortunately Southampton are highly unlikely to do that and it will probably take VVD to push through the deal.
05 Jun 2017 19:53:10
You're probably more than aware Eds that several media outlets are claiming that we are likely to get VVD, as we are his preferred destination. Do you believe this to be the case? He's ridiculously over priced (as I know you've alluded too) but nevertheless feels like a coup.
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what his preference is.}
09 May 2018 13:47:00
Sorry if it's been covered and I missed it, but; Klopp clearly wants him back from what Ed's saying, so did he resign to pursue his own ambitions, or because of a fall out Klopp hopes to resolve?
{Ed001's Note - it is not that simple.}
30 Aug 2017 18:04:28
Sad that we won't get to see him in our Red again, but it feels the right call, especially if the other 2 are coming in. His conduct has been disappointing but not by any means unique, I thank him for the good times and I'll applaud him when he's on the losing side in the CL decisive semi final 2nd leg!
30 Aug 2017 18:01:19
Gini isn't a hopeful, O-C has to try to get his spot, not the other way around.
17 Aug 2017 21:24:28
Huddersfield's result has no baring on how we'll do. Why do fans always go "oh so and so thrashed them so we will"?
08 Aug 2017 21:45:50
Mate there is NO CHANCE of that happening! Leave Madrid for a team that sell their top players every couple of seasons! Plus he's on fire in the last 6 months he'd be obscenely expensive in fee and wages.
29 Aug 2017 14:17:21
I 2nd that. The most remarkable thing being that it is free. Bullshit free too. Extra info always provided about players too; e. g. No we're not interested but West Ham etc are. Great stuff.
20 Aug 2017 00:43:50
That was pathetic.
19 Aug 2017 22:21:51
We kept a clean sheet!
18 Aug 2017 23:12:36
What's the profit on him got to do with it? Plus maybe the club shld learn when you sell a star for lots of money (Suarez) they're not easy to replace and can be replaced by shite! I'd be looking to get Mane on a new contract with a HUGE exit clause!
17 Aug 2017 21:30:33
Agree with Ed's. Firm is essential to the way Klopp wants to play; leads the press, can tackle; good movement and touch; plus, as Ed said, brings the other 2 in to it and creates space for them. He's an intelligent player and it takes an intelligent fan to see it.

Tommy Dorfman earned celebrity after starring in the controversial Netflix show 13 Reasons Why. In an interview with OUT magazine, the 25-year-old actor admitted he was reluctant to come out as gay in Hollywood.
"I've had a lot of insecurities about being gay in this industry," he told OUT. "I only wanted straight roles — just to prove some false masculinity. But when this came I was like, I get this kid, and he needs to be seen."
Since coming out, Dorfman clearly found his confidence. He regularly sports gender-nonconforming clothing on red carpets, and frequently exposes almost everything on social media.
Over the weekend, Dorfman allegedly shared a particularly revealing clip to his Instagram story. In the video, he's clearly seen showing off his toned bod and a cute pair of Y-fronts. If you needed a reason to follow him, this could be it.
Thanks for killing me with this @tommydorfman pic.twitter.com/FWNe7mNWem

Alex Wijnen – 'Proclaim Your Love'
Illustrator and designer Alex Wijnen always loved birch trees with their graphic white bark and black markings. When creating her new illustration "Proclaiming My Love," she added a tattooed heart on the tree trunk instead of the more traditional carving. After receiving several requests for personalizing the tattoo, Alex is now happy to oblige! You can find a special listing in her Etsy shop for ordering a customized print (all prints use archival quality inks and acid-free, artisan papers and rag mats).
