Get The Look – ROAR Distressed Embroidered Men's Shirt
We've got a new edition of our "Get the Look" series, and this one is all about the fellas! I feel like sometimes they get a little neglected in the embroidery industry. So today, we have this slick distressed embroidered men's shirt with contrasting detail from ROAR. I'm loving the slightly tribal and light stitching look of this piece. How to get something similar? Easy!
First, find yourself (or your fella) a similarly fit button down. Take a look at some of the colors already offered on the shirt. This can often be a great place to start in choosing colors. For instance, the deep reddish buttons on this piece inspired the color of the designs, which helps make the whole thing look more cohesive when you stitch it.
To get the look of the previous tribal-y cross-inspired design, you can combine the Lucky 7 Cross with the lighter stitching Tribal Swirl. These designs are perfect for layering, not unlike we did in this tutorial using the same Lucky 7 Collection.
Using a similar placement, open the shirt and hoop up the upper left shoulder. Stitch two mirrored tribal pieces first, then finish it off with the cross design on top. A little bolder, and a little less light stitching than the original, but still doable on a men's shirt that's not too light. Worried it's too dense? Try a smaller version of the cross or go with an applique version. Either way you'll still get a similar look.
Easy! From a thrift store find to a hip new shirt for him, all it takes are some light stitches and so special hooping techniques. Just remember to keep your colors in harmony with the colors already present on the shirt, and it will look like it came off the rack just like that!

Here's my version of all about my hair-
My dd took the pics and I can't say they are the most flattering, but it is the memory that counts. It's so much fun taking time to play with my kids, swinging in our backyard.
I used Erica's Rock n Roll and Wild Child collections
My Happy Kids embellishments and Quirky font
this is too much fun, so wild and kid like, it all works together beautifully, love these photos
You look like you're having so much fun. I love the "Hair down" title and your journaling.
Super photos!! love the papers!!
Love it! Oh, so fun!
Great job on the challenge!
I think the photo's are wonderful, . Sure looks like you had a great time. Love the way you did the journaling.
How fun! I love the collage look of this layout.
Now, I'm bumbed. I totally missed out on this crop. Somehow it just flew over my head and I didn't know about it.

My Dad was a union man through and through, so I was raised that Unions would take care of the working man. Today Dad see's them for what they really are and so do I. Money sucking, brain washing worthless crap. They force people to pay them, in my eyes stealing peoples money and waste it on worthless investments like trying to recall elected officials.
They are past their prime and need to be put down.
The people in this video are blind. They really don't see what good is coming from the way their governor is running their state.
I guess these are the same people that still blame GW for our current mess and voted for the current POTUS
Great video! Lily-white union thugs bussed in to protest the fact that some black children are actually being educated. Racists.

Police recommend charging former prison therapist for sex with inmate
AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash, - Police are recommending a former therapist for sex offenders at the Airway Heights Corrections Center face sexual misconduct charges for having inappropriate contact with an inmate.
The Airway Heights Police Department has forwarded a recommendation to authorities that Sarah Brooks face three counts of custodial sexual misconduct for her actions while working as a sex offender therapist at the corrections center.
Brooks resigned her position at the corrections center shortly after she and an inmate were caught in the sexual treatment area of the prison in a compromising position on April 4. Court documents indicate Brooks was found with her shirt up, exposing her bra to the inmate, and her pants were unzipped.
Brooks confessed to showing her breasts to the inmate but initially denied anything else happened. She later amended her statement to say that on several occasions she allowed the inmate to touch her and that on one occasion she performed oral sex on him.
As the interview progressed she confirmed, she had been having an ongoing affair with the inmate. The inmate, who is the victim in this case, confirmed he and Brooks had been having an affair for three months and corroborated Brooks' statements about the sex acts they participated in.
Authorities also seized love letters, written to the inmate by Brooks using an assumed name and phony return address, from the inmate during their investigation into the incident.
The inmate, who Brooks had planned to have an affair with after he was released later this year, is considered the victim in this case and was subsequently transferred to another prison.

hey hey isn't there some rule about comparing iems to headphone is a total no no??? Seems like that old school mentality is out the window with these micro CTN drivers and 3x dynamics/ multi chambers etc, tech used in IEMs. It is a fair comparison nowadays between the two, just crazy how fast iem tech has evolved.
I think that's why the S500s are still better to me. If only these CKN70s were full sized headphones.. :O After some burn in these might be better, we'll see.

Ever experienced an urge to over shop for your baby?
My son is 1year and four months old but i have realized that when i go shopping i have to hold back on what i buy for him . When i walk to a clothes store all i can think of is " This Will look good on my son"' Or " this is a must have for my Baby". Seriously sometimes i end up doing impulse buying to fit him in the budget then later in the week/month i realize that i shopped more clothing or shoes than desired. I think it comes naturally when you hold the baby in your arms and nothing else matters, Just the wonderful Bundle of Joy.
17th February 2012 04:24 AM #2
I haven't experienced this, but it could have something to do with your temperament. Are you normally impulsive in other areas? Or are you calculated? Do you tend to be spontaneous or do you prefer to plan things in advance?
You may find the thread on understanding personalities interesting, and if your husband tends to resent when you overbuy for your precious son, it might help him to be more tolerant as well.
As for something that might be helpful... I did a lot of shopping at second hand stores for my children's clothes and other needs. If you purposefully avoid the stores or departments that tempt you to spend more than you should, and then tell yourself you'll go to the local children's second hand store and see what they have, this might help. It's a thought.
19th February 2012 09:25 AM #3
I guess I have felt this way from time to time. If I had unlimited money, I would probably do nothing but shop for my little ones. We are on a very tight budget, since we are both students and have four small children, so we have to keep things in perspective.
I agree with Kate on the idea of shopping at second hand stores. Children tend to grow out of clothes faster than they have time to wear them out. You can find some really great deals and get so much more for the same amount of cash. It can also help to reduce your temptation to overspend, as you might at a department store.
You could also try setting a budget before you head out and only taking that amount of cash along. Leave those credit cards at home

I think the above ideas are excellent. It would probably be beneficial to only bring a certain amount of cash and to look at second hand stores, as well. Do you have any friends or family members with young children? I have a family member that has children older than mine, so she gives us a lot of clothing for our children. It is so fun to look through everything they give us, and it is almost like buying something new. You could ask friends or family members if they want to do clothing swaps, and everyone can bring items their children have outgrown and you can all share with each other.
27th February 2012 05:42 AM #6
Jessica - another great idea! Clothing swaps with friends.
I've heard for people doing "all things baby" swaps in their neighborhood. One person heads up the effort, sets the date and time, and then everyone brings anything they no longer need (related to children) including clothes, baby items like high chairs, toys, etc.
Here's a geat post which explains what a "baby swap" is and how to go about planning one. You can make it into a really fun party/get-together complete with refreshments.
I've also heard of doing a home-grown food swap (I know that's not related to babies, but in this economy, it's definitely worth considering, in order to save money).

Hi RachaelM,
Yes I can relate with you. Sometimes it just feels good to give your baby (as for me I have a baby boy) those nice stuffs, When I see something nice whether in the mall or an online shop, I can't help but think about my son then buy it. But of course I don't do this very often. But when I'm on it also, I tend to really spend. Now that I have a baby, I focus more on him. And I buy less for myself, lol.

Not really. But when there is sale at the mall, can't help but to buy a pair of clothes for my 2 boys. But 1 set of pair is enough just taking the opportunity of low prices.
But there was an instance that I over shop for my baby, when I was pregnant with my eldest. I bought things and never thought if it would be useful- I just get this and buy, get that and buy. I was just excited mum.

How can you beat the nutrition of broccoli? Broccoli sprouts! Broccoli sprouts can contain up to 50 times the amount of certain antioxidants found in full grown Broccoli. Broccoli sprouts are an excellent source of sulforaphane glucosinolate, a natural compound found in broccoli and other cruciferous plants, that provide antioxidant protection. When it comes to basic nutrients, broccoli is the king. Ounce for ounce, broccoli has more vitamin C than an orange and as much calcium as a glass of milk. Broccoli is also one of the richest sources of beta-carotene in the produce section.
Broccoli has a strong, positive impact on our body's detoxification system, and researchers have recently identified one of the key reasons for this detox benefit. Glucoraphanin, gluconasturtiian, and glucobrassicin are 3 glucosinolate phytonutrients found in a special combination in broccoli. This dynamic trio is able to support all steps in body's detox process, including activation, neutralization, and elimination of unwanted contaminants. Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are the detox-regulating molecules made from broccoli's glucosinolates, and they help control the detox process at a genetic level.
In recent years, broccoli has made the headlines regarding three components found in the vegetable. For instance, indole-3-carbinol has captured the attention of those looking for protective effects against hormone-related cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. I3C promotes "good" hormones, while working against destructive ones. I3C supports healthy cellular replication and interferes with the life cycle of abnormal cell growth by inhibiting an enzyme important in the cell's growth cycle. The sulforaphane in broccoli also helps to increase the level of enzymes that block abnormal cell growth, while the beta-carotene in broccoli transforms into vitamin A within the body, providing an effective antioxidant that destroys free radicals (responsible for weakening the defense of cells). Indole-3-carbino and sulforaphane are found in much higher levels in broccoli sprouts than the mature vegetable.
Suggested Use: Soak 3 tablespoons of seeds in cool 70°F filtered water for 8 to 12 hours. Then rinse and drain well. Keep seeds out of direct sunlight and rinse and drain thoroughly with cool water every 8 to 12 hours for the next 3 days. On day 4 relocate your sprouts if necessary to get indirect sun light. Continue to rinse and drain every 8 to 12 hours. On day 5 or 6 when sprouts have reached the desired length, remove seed hulls, rinse and dry with a paper towel. Once dry, put in a sealed container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Yields approximately 2 cups (8 oz) of sprouts.

Park Service OKs immigration reform rally on 'closed' National Mall
A planned immigration reform rally will take place on the National Mall on Tuesday even though the site is closed due to the government shutdown.
Organizers for the "Camino Americano: March for Immigration Reform" were spotted Monday setting up a stage and equipment on the National Mall for the rally which will take place on Tuesday.
Nice huh? Deny WWII vets and allow illegals. How much lower can Obama and crew go?

Airsnare -wifi intrusion detection
This is a nice wifi intrusion detection program that works on windows. What makes it nice is that's free! Actually it does a decent job, its only weakness is it relies on mac ID filtering. If someone grabs your mac address and spoofs it, it wont warn you, but you will see them on your network at least.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: The text featured on John Baldessari's canvas comes from a series of works featuring formulaic advice from "how-to" art manuals. The artist explained in a 2010 interview:
JOHN BALDESSARI: The subject matter is coming out of people's ideas of how art might be taught. And I think that's what I'm getting at. I mean, you can follow all kind of rules, and they're probably all right, but it doesn't mean you're going to come up with anything that we can call art.NARRATOR: Baldessari's paintings point out the absurdity of prevailing aesthetic attitudes. He follows the painting's advice to "break all the so-called rules of composition," which, ironically, actually means following the rules. And in another twist, by following the rules, Baldessari has also broken them—since these results certainly aren't what the teaching manuals are calling for.One of the founders of conceptual art, John Baldessari uses words, images, video, paint, and photography interchangeably in works of art that are witty and self-referential. JOHN BALDESSARI: Probably in the mid-60s, I was really getting a little bit anxious, discontent, or disillusioned about art. I began to think that art might be more than just painting. You know, certainly painting is a vital part of doing art, but there might be other ways to do art.NARRATOR: As a revered teacher at both the California Institute of the Arts and at UCLA, he and his work have profoundly influenced generations of younger artists.

In such a varied show, starting points are rendered arbitrary, but surely the U-Haul trailer stationed in the center of the gallery's large back room captures the attention first. It's part of a "Portable Nature Restoration Unit" assembled by Edwin F. Bennett, who manipulates natural ecologies and stages them as interventions in the social world. Using clay, paint, canvas, wood, burlap, and more in the bed of the six-by-eight-foot storage unit, Bennett has fashioned a synthetic copse, an immersion lab of woodlands that might be described as a conceptual inversion of Andrea Zittel's modular living units. I naturally wanted to crawl into Bennett's model, but some of its stagier elements — the exposed plywood, for one — dulled the fantasy a little, making the piece seem more sanitized than it might have been. On the other hand, it's an irony probably not lost on Bennett himself, and could equally have been by design.
More transparent are the processes of Robin Koss, who approaches nature and labor through iterations of verdant, vinelike collage. Layer and texture are fundamental aspects of each piece, whether an etching or video, and the repetitions of her craft find a resonance in her subjects, such as the multiple digital film scenes of people methodically raking and gardening, which Koss has crossfaded into a warm, glowing haze.
Julie Gray's artist statement frames her treated photo and fabric work as an exercise in self-actualization, but their subtle, postmodernist statements about various cultural signposts are even more articulate. All twelve of her 20-by-20-inch frames depict some clashing of cultural aesthetic: in the cross-stitch "American Flyers," the renderings of various aircrafts guide a granny square textile pattern; in "Assembled Self Portrait," a black and white portrait photograph features a young woman in a spotted summer dress — obviously stylized to a '50s aesthetic — though the tattooed script across her clavicle is incomprehensible to the era.
Shirah Neumann's oils are oddly piquant, five canvases of impressionist settings in bold, spotty colors painted with a loose, impassioned brushwork. It's the show's murkiest conceptual terrain, yet Neumann's works are welcome and lovely. The meadow-set pinks and blues of "Storm Cycles" can feel a little tart, but it's almost a primal instinct to want to know more about the world behind the haunting and ceremonial diptych "Protector 2."
The fantastic installation by Kim Vose Jones transforms a gallery corner into an enigmatically uterine playhouse, the walls teeming with a spore-like cluster of airplane neck rests and dryer lint. Opposite is a pattern showroom by Jessica Van Swol, who endeavors to transform an articulated toy snake into workable, domestic textiles. She leaves blueprints and an instruction manual to describe her process, handy to those who get a charge out of deep, multidisciplined design theory.

ACHICA > Anna Hymas
Sale closed
Anna Hymas
Anna Hymas is a multi-talented artist with work that spans painting, illustration, fabrics and interiors. She studied at Central St Martins and has since shown her paintings in New York, London and Paris. She has also published her own children's books including Lighty Faust the Lion and Wanda & Dragonfly. Her paintings are not only bright and colourful, but also have a depth and a sense of abstraction that come from the process of her work, where one image is often layered on top of another, giving them presence in a room and a sense of energy and vitality. Anna's work is continually appreciating in value and it is with this in mind that ACHICA are delighted to be showcasing these paintings at a price exclusive to our members and for a very limited period.

Camel racing is not to be missed if you're here in the camel racing season, September to March, when races are held three or four days each week. In Dubai, camel races start at about 0730 and are over by 0830. It's quite a spectacle, as countless camels thunder down the tracks at amazing speeds. During the summer there's still plenty to see on the tracks, with daily practice sessions at no fixed hours, although 0630 is a good time to come, before it gets oppressively hot.

Shares of data center REIT and co-location/hosting business Digital Realty (DLR) are down 76 cents, 1.4%, at $52.06, in late trading, after the company this afternoon said its CEO, Michael Foust, will step down immediately, being replaced by A. William Stein, its CFO, on an interim basis.
Chairman Dennis Singleton thanks Foust "for his many years of dedicated service," noting accomplishments such as building the company's assets "dramatically," and a quadrupling of the share price.
"The board and mike mutually agreed it was an appropriate time to find the next leader to help guide Digital Realty to the next level and scale of operational sophistication.," said Singleton.
The board intends to retain an executive search firm to find a permanent replacement.
Digital Realty competes with a variety of companies, including fellow REIT Dupont Fabros Technology (DFT), Rackspace Hosting (RAX), and Equinix (EQIX).

Anytime 8,000 people show up to a party, you know it's going to be good. The annual Lowcountry Cajun Festival was no exception, and partygoers turned out in droves to James Island County Park for an afternoon honoring The Big Easy.
Zydeco music sounded throughout the park, getting guests in the festival mood as they made their way in to the party. The scent of delicious and spicy Cajun and Creole food wafted on the breeze, and long lines quickly formed at all the food booths - which respectively offered everything from gourmet popsicles and jambalaya to fried gator tail and donuts. The beer line was only slightly shorter, and partygoers prowled the green for a spot to set up their lawn chairs.
The afternoon was warm but breezy, and band after band took the main stage while guests perused the various good available for sale or gravitated toward the carnival rides on the far side of the green.
Soon it was time for one of the afternoon's main festivities: a crawfish eating contest. Competitors had 30 seconds to eat as many crawfish as they could, and the contest featured 8 heats of 6 people. The sight was both entertaining and slightly terrifying, as some contestants resorted to eating the crawfish whole, shells and all. A large crowd cheered them on, however, heckling the slower and more dainty eaters.
The party went on late into the afternoon, with Charlestonians and visitors alike basking in the sun after eating their full. Partygoer Jackie Grisaffe, a Louisiana native, announced, "I came all the way in just for this festival. I come every year, and it's amazing!"
The Lowcountry Cajun Festival benefits the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission, which was founded in 1968. The Charleston County Parks and Recreation strives to improve the quality of life in Charleston County by offering a diverse system of park facilities, programs, and services.

Looking for a hint of where the market might be heading today? Don't look to the futures market.
Both S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are little changed this morning.

Men's Wearhouse (MW) has fallen 8.7% to $42.50 after Jos A Bank (JOSB) said it would buy Eddie Bauer. Shares of Jos A Bank have declined 4.4% t0 $52.51.
VF Corp (VFC) has dropped 6.3% to $59.89 after it reported a profit of 82 cents a share, in line with forecasts, and offered guidance that was below analyst expectations.

How is even a malicious javascript code on one web page going to see the the content of a page that I have manuallly opened up in an entirely separate window?
It can't, but it can load that same page's URL in an iframe, and it will contain the same confidential information. Browsers try to prevent pages from reading the contents of cross-domain iframes, which is extremely difficult to do in a completely airtight manner. A much better solution would be not sending cookies on cross-domain requests and thus making it impossible for one site to load the secrets a different site is storing for you, but so far everybody is focused on treating the symptoms and not the disease.

Has anyone seen this movie yet?
I finally went to see it last night. My friend loved it, and I read many great reviews on it. I must say it was a very good film.
It was very funny, and the story was very good. I can't think of anything about it that I didn't like really.
I highly recommend it.
Anyone else?

04-13-2014 - I finished the short Norm and Cory, posted it on my Vimeo account, and it has already been submitted to some festivals! So far it will have its world premiere at the first Animation Torrent in Park Ridge, Illinois on April 17th! Also, it played in the independent shorts jury screening for the 45th ASIFA East Awards in May, so cross your fingers! I was elated to see it on the big screen for once, and I can't wait for it to play in front of a festival audience! Special thanks to Taylor Armstrong for managing all the Animation Torrent entries!
Toons These Days has ended early because Alex Dudley wants to move on to other projects. But I am pleased with all the finished episodes on Blip and YouTube.
09-21-2013 - It's been over a year and I have an excuse. Not only does an animated short like this take a long time to make especially when you're the only one heading everything involved with it, but the full-time job I have actually restricted me in working on it until over the weekends, and I had misc. smaller projects pop up that I was a part of in the meantime. Norm and Cory the animated short is planned to be finish very soon, and it will be posted online on November 20th, my birthday! I will link to it here!
Over the end of the summer, I had the priviledge of co-writing the second season of a web review show called Toons These Days. The show is created by Alex Dudley, and is based on a comic he made about 4 years ago. The second season premieres today! You can see the previous episodes of Toons These Days by going to DToons Productions' website, and its YouTube channel! Or by simply watching the entire season in one video. Premieres will go live on his own website first. Follow him on Twitter and Facebook!
At work, I made some development art for a Sarbakan game that has yet to go live on iTunes due to our client dealing with financial issues, but I DID design monster characters for an online Pepperidge Farm's Goldfish game, Monster Mayhem, which you can play now!
08-27-2012 -I give you the Ultra Reel, the 2012 edition! This is the first reel edit I made since 2009 and I was due for a new one. I actually completed this edit in July but legal red tape made me wait a long time for approve rights to all these clients I did work for at the ad agency I work at, so I just decided to take those out. It makes the reel shorter this way anyway. I will get around to posting this on this site instead of linking to it.
Personal content is (C) me, and studio work is (C) their respective owners. Do not use for your own unless by legal permission.
04-26-2012 - After Orbis Park was completed, I started on development for my next short, and have since. But not before some happy news came this week! Orbis Park will screen at the 43rd Annual ASIFA East Awards this Sunday the 29th. Yes, this also means it's getting an award! This would be Orbis Park's first actual public premiere.
Now that The Productive reached their goal on Kickstarter to fund starting it, I have made good use of the co-working studio. I will produce the short to follow Orbis Park there, as well as work on some freelance animation for an upcoming series that I can't tell you about yet, but I am excited about it. If you're a digital animator/artist/programmer in or near Manhattan, check out the site and see if it's a fit for you.
AnimationInsider interviewed me. The interview is, to me, "brutally honest", but no worse than what, say, John K would say to you lol. The last part is supposed to be formatted into a list with margins, but you can otherwise recognize where they're divided by looking at which sentences are bold. Some never-before-seen concept sketches for my next short are included.
12-14-2011 - You can view Orbis Park only on Vimeo in its entirety. http://vimeo.com/32943938
The ASIFA East Viewseum blog, by Emmett Goodman, has some information about how I concieved the idea for the short, and some things about the production process. http://asifaeast.com/aNYmator/2011/12/12/orbis-park-by-andrew-kaiko/
Cartoon Brew even posted it not too long after it was posted online. http://www.cartoonbrew.com/shorts/orbis-park-by-andrew-kaiko.html
11-17-2011 -
10-10-2011 - Well, the animated short I been plugging is nearly completion. I just need to wait for the composer to finish his work, edit it in, and render everything together! Now, a behind-the-scenes development reel has been edited! And it was screened at the ASIFA East Open Screening on September 29th (go to the organization's blog here), the first time any kind of work in this short was publically premiered! You can view it on YouTube or on my new Vimeo account!
Look forward to the completed short soon.
I also plan to eventually put it on DVD with bonus commentary.
04-20-2011 - With the short underway, I thought I'd share some work I been doing for G2. I was put in charge of animating Xtreme, the energetic, awesome goldfish cracker, for Pepperidge Farm's Goldfish brand official website! I only animated him in the Team Xtreme sections of the site, as the animation on the other sections were finished beforehand. He takes kids around the world on 20 different locations, 15 or so of which have been finished now, as part of the NBA All-Stars 2011 sweepstakes! Check out the animation, and see what kind of excuses I had to make from not updating this site enough! I also worked on projects from various other companies at G2!
Note: The section above includes large videos. You may need to wait between loading to see every page, and some may skip.
04-04-2011 - Since getting hired at G2, I have never touched this site, since I been pretty secure financially, and all my time as been invested in the day-job,... until several months ago! I decided now was the right time to make my first full animated short since graduating college! It's called Orbis Park, and will be finished by December 2011! I will post pics and development sketches of it shortly! Laters.
05-25-2010 - Man it seems like such a long time since my last entry, when in fact it was only two weeks... I now have a new full-time job at G2, an ad agency in New York City. In fact, it started on May 3rd, but I wanted to hold off on adding this news to my site in case any turn of events happened that would change it. But now I am waist-deep in a tight deadline for a involved project with a big team collaborating with a mirror studio in Pennsylvania... and I am now permenantly settled in! This is the first full-time job I had since the company for my last full-time job had a massive lay-off in 2008, and am grateful for this! :)
05-09-2010-Happy Mother's Day! In the Animation section, I just added a new fan animation I made based on the graphic novel BONE, by Jeff Smith, in response to the recent news of the first volumes becoming a CG feature film! I plan to email him this video once I find a way to contact him, and propose a suggestion.
Now that I got this out of the way (and this video took a LONG time to do!), I should do something completely original for my next personal project, as the last two projects were adaptations of something else (see entry below). I DO have a new full-time job though, and we'll see how much time I have to work on my own things...
04-01-2010- Added a new image to the Portfolio section. It's a pretty in-depth result of something I had been speculating for a while now... what would it be like if Kappa Mikey were to become a feature film or television movie? I wrote an entire storyline, made some mock screenshots, and compiled them all into a mock movie poster! :) Considering I used to WORK on this show, it's not really fanart, and I am in good graces with the studio. I even made an entire trailer of it on YouTube. It was a good conceptualization, and it inspires me to one day write my draft on hard copy sometime in the future!
This is not an April Fool's joke!
03-22-2010- A client of mine prohibits me of posting a new animation online, as he wants to use it for specific purposes. So... I am still working on stuff guys... we just can't see it on the net.
03-16-2010- Updated the Portfolio section with a new traditional painting I made for my family's lakehouse in Vermont. It's not something they decided on quickly- it's a very involved and slow process- this house took 4 years to complete from planning up to now, and I took my time finishing this up for the house! I may sell it in the future after it stays in the house for a while. Check it out!
In other freelance news, Queer Pets Adventures will make it's world premiere at the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale Gay and Lesbian Film Festival on April 23rd to May 2nd! I'm not sure if only 5 or all 10 episodes will premiere. Keep yourself up-to-date on the schedule on their site! Also, I just completed the first real episode of Charles the Chef, and it will be online shortly!
2-27-2010- So February's been pretty unproductive, as freelance jobs have been slow due to waiting for replies from clients, and rates have been delayed for all sorts of reasons, but things will turn around! I am learning Maya and HTML, and am doing some voice acting practice with my own mic that you can see on YouTube. In fact, I should link them here too.
I also completed animation for the intro to a series of books called 'Let's Get Cooking!' with Charles the Chef. You can see them here too!You can find out more about this series at their official site!
2-2-2010- Over the holidays I helped to clean-up and animated a 30-second commercial for New York's United Federation of Teachers in time for Martin Luther King Jr. Day! It's been airing on basic channels all across the nation (even during Obama's speech!), and only now has it been uploaded to YouTube! You can view it here, and I also added a link to it in my Animation section!
01-02-2010- 2010 already! I added new observational drawings in Observational Drawing section of the Portfolio page, as well as a new Jack Magic one-shot comic, "Pere Noel Day", on the same page!
Coming to festivals this year, through Casque D'Or Films, will be a series of 1-minute animated shorts called Queer Pet Adventures. Like the Flash series Queer Duck, this will aim to share appreciation for the gay and lesbian culture, while still being universal in its story, humor, and message. I designed, animated, and edited the entire series myself, and worked closely with the head of the company, Veronique Courtois, through to completion! Be sure to check on her website often to hear new updates and schedules for venues! :) Also, stop by my Portfolio page to see never-before-seen screenshots from the series right now!
Queer Pet Adventures, characters, names, and related are (C) 2010 Casque D'Or Films. Do not reuse images without permission from the owner!
12-28-09- I suppose there won't be a new update past New Years', so Happy New Year! Go 2010!
Want to know what I've been working on behind my secluded room for the last six months?! A new series of shorts for a California studio that will be submitted to festivals! It's being produced by Casque D'Or Films! More news to come...
12-14-09- I know my site does not have a links page, but I think it's time I mention my brother Erik here. Erik is currently working just outside Chicago, IL as an actor and teacher with his girlfriend Megan. You can read his site here and his blog here!
12-9-09- Happy Holidays! :) I worked on this for the past month on my freetime.
I attended a John Dilworth presentation planned by ASIFA East held at the School of Visual Arts' theatre yesterday. John, as some of you may be aware, created and executive produced CN's Courage the Cowardly Dog years ago, and he has not lost his touch ever since. The presentation was among the most colorful and involved ASIFA has ever planned, complete with a guy in a Courage costume, an SVA band, many many animator cameos, and even the voice of Courage himself. His latest shorts 'Life In Transition' and 'Rinky Dink' were screened.
I also finished a freelance project that last SIX months just yesterday, and I will announce it here very soon!
11-23-09- Added new piece of character design and concept for another story idea I have. I may flesh these characters out more as the days go by.
I made some Holiday cards that I linked to on my other sites, and which you can buy on both Cafepress and Zazzle! :)
In other news, I have been pretty busy with job searching... and for my birthday, I had to cope with the new operating system I decided to get for my birthday, and all the problems that came along with it. I have wanted to use this form as a way to talk about animation news, but I have fallen back on that. In short, I saw Where the Wild Things Are, and Fantastic Mr. Fox, which were both very good. The Cat's Piano I mentioned earlier became an Academy Award nominating runner! :)
Get ready for an original animation featuring my Jack Magic characters in a holiday greeting soon, as well as a Christmas comic!
10-29-09- I realized that companies usually look for ONE SINGLE REEL to get a picture of your best work, while I always had several reels by studio or personal project. To remedy the situation, I give you the Ultra Reel 2009! :) It covers both my best personal projects, as well as the best of my studio work!
10-26-09- Animation Collective, the independent animation studio in New York City that I have been working with for a long time, is in a deal with Handmade Films to be acquired by them for a $12 million backing, according to AnimationMagazine.com . What this means about my current employment relationship with them is yet to be revealed- I don't even know if I'm going to return. But I wish them luck with this new venture.
In other news, I updated my old Cafepress account with more holiday cards. Buy em now while it's still that time of year! :) I know I don't have a section on this new site for a Store link, but one day, I may even revive the account with new stuff and add a link. I am also trying to find other services that will also use my designs, and create more exposure!
10-12-09- Follow Derrick Fish's Dandy and Company this entire week for 5 daily strips I created for his Total Chaos Guest feature! It's starting today!
10-11-09- I've added a brand new video: The Foxy Scrambler, which is my entry into Nickelodeon's '15-Seconds-To-Fame' Animation Contest. This version on my site is actually 20 seconds, to make the text appear clearer. Now that the date for Nick's finalist list has come and gone, it's a good bet that I didn't get in, but that means I can upload it online! It's also on my YouTube account!
9-22-09- That was quick! The open drawing slides work after all!
My 2006 Senior thesis Mime For A Day has been uploaded to the brand new animation community called AnimationHut.tv (similar to YouTube, but WAY smaller), established by long-time animator Bill Pressing. Many have already joined the site and uploaded videos. Unlike YouTube, it is only for animation, JUST started, is NOT backed by a major company, and is personally monitored by the administrator. I hope it grows into a healthy community. Mime For A Day is covered on the site's blog too!
9-21-09- Some observational figure drawings were added to the Portfolio section. Check them out. So far, I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with the coding, because you can only view the first one, after which follows the Norm & Cory comic 'Torn A' Plenty', instead of the succeeding drawings, so hang in there.
9-11-09- I observe the 8th anniversary. ...of 9/11.
Okay that's that!
My friend James Sugrue spent the past year making a holiday-themed short that he entered into FOX's Aniboom Holiday Contest! You can vote simply watching the short, which automatically count as one vote! Git him up the list!
Back in August, I decided to enter Nickelodeon's 2009 '15-Seconds-of-Fame' Animation Competition on a whim. You can see the entry here. Entries were closed on September 8th, and they are in the judging stage now. I may delete it if Nick actually selects it for the next round.
9-04-09- I made a painting for my brother Erik's 24th birthday TODAY! He's getting by as an actor in Illinois, and his last job JUST ended, so visit his site!
In other news, as you all know by now, Disney bought Marvel Comics for 4 billion dollars! I see this as something pretty unimportant, but it was quite a shock when first hearing about it. Crossover jokes are too tasty to ignore, but they are just that: jokes.
Also, I recently saw "The Cat Piano", a short film directed by Eddie White and Ari Gibson, which blends beautiful hand-drawn animation to a very definite mood. The other is the non-budgeted "Santaman" project, which is basically a Santa version of Batman, and was entered into the 2009 FOX Aniboom Holiday contest! Both are well worth your time!
8-27-09- This main page has replaced the old one, making this site officially live! I also just added a account for my videos as an alternative for viewing the Quicktimes files, which need to be loaded before playing. Explore, make suggestions about how to improve the site, and don't forget to read the resume for hiring!
The Hooked-On-Phonics animation I helped to complete at Flickerlab has now been publically announced on AnimationMagazine.com . Funny, in that I personally never knew their Learn To Read lessons weren't being produced anymore before approaching Flickerlab!
8-22-09- I added a few new still pieces in my Portfolio page above, one of which is fan art. I also added my first personal storyboard, 'Overdue'.
8-22-09- Welcome to the new layout! This is a test to see how the new format works. It will take me some time to get used to editing the site this way, but I will get it eventually. In the meantime, look around and explore. There are many places that need work, so don't worry if you run into a dead link or an awkward-looking page. This format is brand new.
I have to thank Neil Orians for the hard work in designing the new look for the site! The link to his own site and his work are below in the disclaimer.

And since we have said in this thread, that each dogs flyer is independent of the others , would judges have to generally give a predetermined size to where the bird landed?
And since we have said in this thread, that each dogs flyer is independent of the others , would judges have to generally give a predetermined size to where the bird landed?
I don't think you get it... Consider trying to place 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc when one dog ran first (and only 2 flyers comprise the "popular" area below), vs the 75th dog who's flyer fell at "x" or "y". If the wind is straight from bottom to top of the page, is "y" easier or harder? Isn't the 75th bird that fell the 90-percentile area more likely to produce a disciplined hunt? Is a young dog likely to run straight through 75 falls to "x"? Do you factor all this in when placing dog #1 vs dog #75?

And oh hell yes, before I'm ostracized, I do understand that this one mark does not determine the winner,,, jeez

It has always been my experience when judging you visit with your co-judge about where you would like the bird to fall and then discuss what may or may not be a no-bird. Now that being said you always have a ton of factors to consider, shooters, wind, throwers etc. that can affect your flyer. The guys judging in a couple of weeks could probably say we want the flyer thrown behind your back and we want it to land in the area of a cowboy hat 50 yards away and the folks throwing and shooting could pull it off with ease I tend to write a lot of notes on flyers on the judging sheet so I can recall the action in my mind later.

Because of the ever changing conditions, would or should the rationale that is used to design the curve be in a state of flux during the entire trial so not only would you have a curve for a hunt on a disident flier...you would customize it on a flier by flier basis.
Perhaps that perceived unfairness is what the "no bird" is supposed to be used for.

"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
I judge the flyer. I think that a flyer mark like other marks involves a dog's using its eyes to get to the AOF and then using its nose to find the bird. It is more variable than a dead bird, yes. But, I like a dog that can problem solve a flyer. I think that dogs that are trained on lots of flyers are better at the problem solving than dogs that are not trained on them - imagine that.
I will note if the fall is unusual - long, in, etc. - and will note if a dog does an exceptional job on a difficult bird. I will also note if I think a dog does a poor job on the flyer - for example, setting up camp behind the guns when the bird was visible and clearly flighted away from the guns. In my book, I will draw the path of the dog, but more importantly, where the dog begins its hunt, which direction its first turn is, etc. Like all things when you judge, the more notes you take, I think the better you can recall what a dog does.
I think that judging is both an art and a science. Science provides the framework for judging. Art is the application of performance within the framework. It is not a precise calculus, no statistical bell shaped curve is drawn. And that is why different judges approach the task differently. But, I don't think you can - nor to I think you should - program a computer to analyze the factors and plot a algorithm for analysis.
Competition does not build character - It reveals it.

Really some people need to move away from the edge. Dallas, the Jets, Dolphins and many other teams didnt look that great. That means nothing until the real games begin. I am not worried. We will compete in this division.!

Really some people need to move away from the edge. Dallas, the Jets, Dolphins and many other teams didnt look that great. That means nothing until the real games begin. I am not worried. We will compete in this division.!
Completely agree. People get way too involved in preseason (not just Dolphin fans, but NFL fans in general. It's everyone's first taste of football since February and we're all way past due on our football fix). I'm a die hard Dolphin fan and I have been for as long as I can honestly remember. I want us to win every game (preseason included). However, we have to realize that preseason, for the most part, is meaningless. We can't get upset and worked up over losses and poor performances.
Remember a few years ago when the Lions went 0-16? Anyone care to take a stab at their preseason record?...4-0.
The only thing that matters to me in preseason is that we escape injury free.
I think there are areas the Fins do need to work on that have been shown in preseason. I trust the coaches are doing their jobs...
I just look for our rookies to show something and our offense to gel. the only thing that worries me is the dropsies. Koa Misi is the real deal. Just wait til next year!
The offense and defense will play much better once the season starts. They know what they have to work on and I'm confident they'll play well in the regular season.
The only thing I look for is Rookies & 1st time starters (i.e. Clemons), & so far no rook or Clemons has really disappointed me.
All I look for is for Miami's bench players, new players and Rookies to show something. #s 40 and 41, for example, looked HORRIBLE. So did GARDENER. And also, nothing much from FOLSOM, WALDEN, #71 (whoever he is). And #28 better excel at returning punts and/or kicks, because he was terrible in the "slot" again--NESS looked a whole lot better. GROVE is noticeably more powerful, and better, than BERGER, although BERGER (honestly) is good as well. WALLACE looked good and appears to be a very promising young big and fast WR. TURNER used his body (size) a little more like O GADSEN, but MOORE fell back down to Earth. COBBS looked erratic, and mediocre or worse most of the time. PENNINGTON looks to be about 100% already. WHITE didn't impress overly.
I attach little importance to the final score, or even the performance of the various "units". For some teams, Game 3 is a "dress rehearsal" for the regular season. SIP, however, sprinkled 2nd, 3rd and 4th String players into the lineup long before Halftime! I think that SIP prefers ANSWERS to the questions they have. And i/m/o, they got quite a few! For example:
1) DANSBY--can cover a TE, and force a QB to make a perfect throw even for a simple short "out". Besides everything else, DANSBY "takes away the angle" as well as anyone I've seen for a long time. If you can do well against freakin' TONY GONALEZ, you can do well against anyone.
2) THE SLOT/NICKEL CB--Sapp supposedly was good on S/Ts, pretty good in coverage, and a good tackler. It looked to me like he's "as advertised". CARROLL isn't.
3) THE FS POSITION--CLEMONS looks pretty solid. I'm a lot less worried, now, than I was 3 weeks ago.
4) PENNINGTON--looks better and better, as far as being healed is concerned. And as it was when he first got here, it doesn't take him long to round into mid season form. WHITE played better, but what does THAT mean!?? He still hasn't impressed me, and time is running out.
5) OLMEN--I like what I'm seeing from "the usual suspects". Beyond those 7 or so, A HARTLINE flat-out sucks, as does GARDENER. As to MURTHA, he confuses the hell out of me by his inconsistency. Against TB, he looked pretty solid at LT. But against J'VILLE, he was...lousy. Against ATLANTA, just to confuse us all, he ALTERNATED between pretty good and mediocre-at-best. I hope that they can "coach him up" a bit, so that at least he's consistently decent, because he seems to have the physical skills, and he's needed.
6) DLMEN--A "strength". MIAMI could end up being 3 deep at NT, w/3 different kinds of NTs. We know about STARKS. But SOLIAI continues to be unmovable even when double-teamed, and that kid who plays DE and NT--he wears #90, and his name always escapes me--looks better and better too. In fact, he's reminding me more and more of JIM BURT, out of the U, who anchored PARCELLS' 3-4 w/the GIANTS. As to our DEs, I liked all of them, except #71 and 73.
whos turn is it next to start a "its only preseason thread"? i think im 4th in line.

Budget constraints meant looking for a home on Auckland's North Shore instead of the central city, but Clayton and Heidi Elsmore haven't looked back since buying their Beach Haven cottage.
"We'd been living in London for a couple of years and when we returned in 2009 we were blindsided by the prices," says Heidi.
So the high school sweethearts chose a tiny one-bedroom 1920s worker's cottage because it was affordable, had character and could be easily extended.
Improving it was a breeze: Clayton is a builder and Heidi has a knack for interior design on a shoestring. "I loved the claw-foot bath and the kauri floors," says Heidi, "but the kitchen was like a modern kitset that didn't really fit with the age of the place."
She and Clayton redesigned the layout of the original home to give it three bedrooms (one with an en suite), and sketched out an extension including another bathroom and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone overlooking their patch of lawn.
If the renovation wasn't enough in itself, they also had a deadline to meet, because the just-married couple had their first child on the way.
Clayton spent all his spare time getting the house ready for the new arrival. He had a head start, because for years he had been collecting leftover timber from jobs he'd worked on.
The couple saved thousands of dollars by building with recycled timber, reusing windows from the original part of the house and buying second-hand materials online.
One of their online buys was a load of kauri planks from a demolition yard in Tauranga. "They weren't cheap, but they were once part of an old church, so the width of the boards was exactly what we needed," says Clayton.
When it came time to tackle the kitchen, they had a bit of a rethink. "We'd wanted concrete floors, but we realised they didn't fit the style of the house, so we compromised and made a concrete bench instead," explains Heidi.
Once Clayton had finished all the building tasks, Heidi took over.
"We'd agreed from the start that he'd do the building and I'd be the decorator," says Heidi, who enjoys buying worn-out objects and then painting or reupholstering them to fit with her decor.
Her design aesthetic revolves around random discoveries and no single style. "I love spots, florals, stripes - a bit of it all."
Style tips
Use it again: In the kitchen, second-hand bricks complement the recycled-timber cabinets. Clayton waterblasted each one, then sliced them in half with a grinder. "That meant we got two for the price of one," he says.
Personality plus: Heidi used a mixture of knobs to finish the kitchen cabinets. "I'd been collecting them from little shops for ages," she explains. "I didn't want everything to match."
Theme scheme: Collecting objects with a theme gives
character to a home. Heidi goes for skulls. "I have skulls that are a salt-and-pepper set, little herb planters, skull candles, a skull blanket and skull plates."

Toasted sesame seeds, sweet apricot preserves, and fresh gingerroot add depth to a classic salmon dish.
*To toast sesame seed, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
Continue the Asian theme with two salads: one of melon chunks drizzled with a citrus dressing, the other a pasta salad tossed with Thai peanut dressing.
Place the thickest fillets on the outside edges of pan.

Part of the new stimulus package has 200 million set aside to repair and sod the national mall. Nothing like a good pork project to bring the economy back.
BTW this just adds to to coronation debate of who spent more money.

"Communism only works in Heaven, where they don't need it, and in Hell, where they already have it" Ronald Reagan
LMAO...$200 million to sod the Mall? I've no doubt it needs it after the coronation, but $200 million???? It's only about 10 acres! Add that to the cost of giving all the federal workers a holiday plus the lost tax revenue from the private sector businesses that had to close and I bet that party cost 5x what the media is reporting. Can you imagine the MSM furor if it was a white Republican that had the world's biggest party as the country heads into the biggest depression of the past 50 years?
Don't forget the $300 million for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
Actually it is 309 acres, but I bet it can be done for just a bit under 200 million. I think that is about 600K per acre! I know a number of sod farmers down here that would be glad to biring it up and lay it for that! Of course the argument is going to be that it is to "repair" and sod the mall

Our new Federal Gooberment is getting ready to spend a TRILLION dollars to try and stimulate the economy. There is no "change" in throwing money at a problem that money can't fix!
If you think it is bad in your part of the world, just give it another year or two because it is going to get alot worse. I'm just glad our economy is still good and hope oil stays at around $50, per barrel.

Haven't done any extensive research into it, but near as I can tell that state is no longer part of America. They have all gone along with the socialists of Europe. Too bad, that state was at one time a great place to live and visit, but much like California and New York, the Democrats and Marxists will continue making it into a total shambles of what it once was.
But that state's capitulation for the gun control advocates, got me to thinking about what is about to happen in this country. Anarchy can't be very far off, and I wonder what I'm going to do??? I suspect I will be in the same ball park as this writer when he postulated back in January:
Dean Garrison(born 1955) is a contemporary American author and crime fiction novelist. He was born in Michigan , grew up in the Indiana , Illinois and Texas , and received his B.A. degree from Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan . Garrison is a Crime Scene Technician in West Michigan . His research in the fields of crime scene investigation is widely published in forensic journals under the name "D.H. Garrison, Jr."
Subject: If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight?
Posted on January 3, 2013 by Dean Garrison
I feel a tremendous responsibility to write this article though I am a little apprehensive. Thinking about the possibility of rising up against our own government is a frightening thing for many of us. I am not Johnny Rambo and I will be the first to admit that I do not want to die. The reason I feel compelled to write this, however, is simply because I dont think the average American is equipped with the facts. I feel that a lot of American citizens feel like they have no choice but to surrender their guns if the government comes for them. I blame traditional media sources for this mass brainwash and I carry the responsibility of all small independent bloggers to tell the truth. So my focus today is to lay out your constitutional rights as an American, and let you decide what to do with those rights.
About a month ago I let the democracy word slip in a discussion with a fellow blogger. I know better. Americans have been conditioned to use this term. Its not an accurate term and it never has been a correct term to describe our form of government. The truth is that the United States of America is a constitutional republic. This is similar to a democracy because our representatives are selected by democratic elections, but ultimately our representatives are required to work within the framework of our constitution. In other words, even if 90% of Americans want something that goes against our founding principles, they have no right to call for a violation of constitutional rights.
If you are religious you might choose to think of it this way Say that members of your congregation decide that mass fornication is a good thing. Do they have the right to change the teachings of your God? The truth is the truth. It doesnt matter how many people try to stray from it. Did I just compare our founders to God? In a way I did, but please note that I am not trying to insult anyone. For the purpose of the American Government our constitution and founders who wrote it are much like God is to believers. It is the law. It is indisputable.
Our founders did not want a democracy for they feared a true democracy was just as dangerous as a monarchy. The founders were highly educated people who were experienced in defending themselves against tyranny. They understood that the constitution could protect the people by limiting the power of anyone to work outside of it much better than a pure system of popularity. A system of checks and balances was set up to help limit corruption of government and also the potential for an immoral majority developing within the American People. We have forgotten in this country that we are ultimately ruled by a constitution.
Why is a democracy potentially just as dangerous as a monarchy? Lets look at something that Benjamin Franklin said because it answers that question more fully and succinctly than I can. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -Benjamin Franklin Even 230+ years ago our founders were perceptive enough to realize that democracy was a dangerous form of government. How so? Because the citizens of a country can become just as corrupt as any government. We have seen evidence of this throughout history. Ask Native Americans and African-Americans if this population can become corrupt.
I think in 2012 we are seeing evidence of what Franklin was trying to tell us. Just because a majority of people may support certain ideas it does not mean that those ideas are just. In simple terms, just because most Americans love our president and voted for him, it does not mean that he has the power to go against our constitutional rights.
Next Id like to review the text of the second amendment. It is very clear. This is the law of this land. So when Senator Feinstein or President Obama talk about taking your guns, you need to think about something. Are they honoring their sworn oath to uphold the constitution?
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State , the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. This is a pretty clear statement. The fact is that it took 232 years for the Supreme Court to even rule on this amendment because it has never been successfully challenged. In 2008 a case of Columbia v. Heller the Supreme Court ruled that a handgun ban in Washington D.C. was unconstitutional. One also has to take this into consideration. The Supreme Court supports your right to own guns. If you want to research this decision further you can start here.
For those who try to debate the spirit of the 2nd amendment, they are truly no different from people who will try to take Biblical quotes out of context to try to support their immoral decisions. The founders were very clear on the intent of the 2nd amendment. Let me share a few quick quotes here: The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. -Thomas Jefferson
Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American peoples liberty teeth and keystone under independence From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. -George Washington
The Constitution shall never be construed .to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. -Samuel Adams
I could find hundreds of quotes like these. This country was built on the right to bear arms. It was built on the rights of an individual to bear arms, regardless of what his government or neighbor happened to think. This is crystal clear. Ironically the people who voice their opinions against this right have their free speech protected by your guns. Without guns in this country, all other amendments become null and void, simply because We the People will lose our power of enforcement.
We need to keep this in mind as our representatives try to push gun bans. I dont care if 99% of people are in support of gun bans (which is far from the case), it is a violation of our constitutional rights, plain and simple. A constitutional republic protects the rights of the individual even when their ideas are very much in the minority. If I were the only person in America who believed in the 2nd amendment, I would still be within my rights to call upon it. You would all think I was insane and possibly celebrate if I was gunned down, but in the end I would be the only true American among us.
