|More information:
The collection includes family, business, historical, and genealogical correspondence and other items of Robert Brent Drane. Early correspondence is of Drane's parents, Catherine Caroline Parker and Robert Brent Drane Sr., and of Robert Brent Drane with friends and family while studying theology in New York. Correspondence, 1877-1932, reflects Drane's genealogical and historical interests, including his involvement with the Roanoke Colony Memorial Association and the proposed construction of a memorial at Fort Raleigh, N.C. There is corrrepondence with his cousin, North Carolina bishop Joseph Blount Cheshire, as well as letters to Drane from his children, including some from his daughter Marian while at Saint Mary's School in Raleigh, N.C., and some, 1915-1925, from his son Frederick Blount Drane, serving as a missionary and later Archdeacon of the Yukon among the native peoples in the Yukon and Alaska. Later correspondence includes letters to Frederick Blount Drane from American soldiers serving in World War II and the Korean War and letters from prominent alumni of the University of North Carolina Class of 1912. Notable correspondence includes letters relating to the Wright brothers' flight trials: two letters, 1908, addressed to Eliza Drane from Collier's Weekly editor Arthur Ruhl describing his attempts to photograph the trials at Kill Devil Hills, N.C., and one 1929 letter mentioning Frederick Blount Drane's having taken a piece from one of the Wright gliders. The collection also includes original and transcribed copies of wills, indentures, and deeds; church records; financial records; historical research materials; genealogical notes, charts, and sketches; printed material; and clippings relating to Drane and Webb family members and to ecclesiastical history in the American colonies. Some papers relate to Josiah Collins and Josiah Collins Jr. of Edenton, N.C., and their mercantile endeavors and involvement with the North Carolina Diocese, Saint Paul's Church, and the establishment of the Edenton Academy in Edenton. There are also some records of religious services performed by Frederick Blount Drane at Monroe, N.C., 1925-1955; sermons of Robert Brent Drane and others; blueprints and architectural plans, chiefly relating to the Fort Raleigh monument; and photographs, including a set of portraits, circa 1910, of University of North Carolina athletes in uniform.

Many of the troops are on their third or fourth tour of duty, and 40 percent of them are reservists whose training and discipline are not up to the standards of their full-time counterparts. Trained for combat and gaining and holding territory, equipped with superior firepower and technology, they are unprepared for the disorienting and endless rigors of irregular warfare. The Marines, in particular, are trained for "kinetic" warfare, constantly in motion, and imbued with a warrior culture that sets them apart from the Army. Marines, however well disciplined, are especially susceptible because of their perpetual state of high adrenaline to the inhuman pressures of irregular warfare.This only re-convinces me that the War in Iraq is an unmitigated disaster of epic proportion. I'm not a total pacifist; I do believe it's really, really bad to use force and violence, and it's something that can't be controlled in the end. However, war seems to be part of our human condition, part of the general mistake of humanness. From this position, I can say that one could conceive of a good war, started for the right reasons and run efficiently for the quickest, least destructive end. Bush's Iraq, the definitive war of choice, misses on both counts. We are dealing with delusions of grandeur at the top of our chain of command.
There can be good "colonialism." Medical and sanitation infrastructures can be developed for places, like rural India, where only 15% of people actually shit in toilets (I read that in the paper today). People aren't necessarily happier when their country is "developed," but there's a level at which a country like the US has a moral obligation to address an issue like HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.
These are all problems best addressed by legions of idealistic, smart, motivated, educated, and critically thinking young men and women, much like the Civil Service workers in the British Empire of yore. For, as Jesus said, the poor will always be with you, and it seems right to me that those in the developed world would help those in need, as a way to address global inequality. Iraq once seemed to be ripe for this kind of humanitarian experiment for the Pax Americana. It's now in utterr disaster, as Abu Ghraib and Haditha show. And the majority of our young people serving in Iraq, I am forced to assume, have their motivations in places other than "colonial" idealism. What smart person would volunteer for a floundering, dangerous and protracted occupational war? The kind of boot on the ground willing, or even having the capacity, to learn Arabic, deal with children in a way other than handing them candy (how about teaching them how to read?), the type of person who would read Rousseau's Du Contrat Social, have the necessarily training for building, not just killing?
The Iraq War is such a harrowing disservice to our nation's young people. While the best move to Manhattan, the others die hopelessly in Iraq, 2,486 Americans right now? Some must starve so others may play golf.
Today I will enjoy the sun, and work at GNC.

If you've never had a sushi, then you probably have asked yourself or anyone this question, "What does sushi taste like?" Like yourself, I wanted a definitive answer of what sushi really tastes like before I can give it a try. However, its many varieties can be somewhat intimidating.
I met a lot of people who told me contrasting answers about the real taste of sushi. While some people find the taste really delicious, others just abhor it.
To get a concrete answer, I researched hard and discovered a lot of information regarding sushi. You can check the results of my research in the context below.
As people become more and more conscious with what they eat, the demand for organic food arises. While there are many agricultural products still grown in farms and rural areas, finding organic food when you are living in the city does not allow you the option of growing your own produce, and meat.
If you are pasta and burger lover like me, knowing whether your food is purely organic or not is going to be a point of great interest. Find out whether the popular Kirkland organic ground beef brand will be the answer to your organic recipe prayers.
Would you like to make a good headstart on your pizza recipes? Then, you need to have a pizza dough always on the ready. My culinary friend told me that freezing pizza dough can keep its texture and quality for up to three months.
Though I was apprehensive at first, I decided to give it a try because it would mean I can stock more pizza dough in my freezer for faster homemade pizza dinners. To freeze the pizza dough properly, read on below to learn some very interesting facts and tips you can follow at home.
What better way to hydrate yourself in the middle of a hot day, than to drink a glass of watermelon green smoothie. I have grown to love it as my friend introduced me to the world of green smoothies. Unlike other commercial beverages, a green smoothie is all natural and it can be a great source of vitamins.
For starters, the right combo for green smoothies is healthy greens, fruits, and a liquid base. As I want to make a variety of green smoothies, I tried to look for a perfect combo of my favorite watermelon with other healthy greens. I have tried all recipes online and what I'm going to share with you are the top 3 best recipes I have tasted.
Do you always have a lot of biscuits getting wasted in your fridge? I do sometimes and I just can't throw them away because it will be too wasteful. This prompted me to search for ways on how to reheat biscuits properly so they can still be enjoyed by my family.
My research has generated me not one, but three amazing ways on how I can reheat them in the oven, microwave, or stovetop. If you would like to know more, continue reading below.

Title: Message
Sorry if I have said this before on this list, but my worse experience as an CE was a direct result of pour masonry construction........
If your drawings or specs do not require cleanouts at the bottom of every cell they should. If your wall is going up 20ft or so, I would put at LEAST 2, one at mid height. Also require pre-fabricated positioners at designated vertical heights to properly hold the bars in place before and during grouting.
Now I don't think ACI 530 is an "enforceable construction document", but it requires cleanouts at the bottom course for each grout pour height over 5ft (S-20, 3.2F). Our drawings are very specific on masonry construction and what is allowed, because masons in FL run the gamut of knowledge and skill level. Even in my short career I have had some nightmare CMU jobs, not due to our drawings either. Especially with 8" block, and depending on the size and amount of reinforcement, it is pretty easy to have some voids in a filled cell even if the cleanout tells you otherwise. Not all masons are out their rodding and vibrating to consolidate. Grout can get hung up on debris, horizontal reinforcement, etc. resulting in void pockets. How good is your CMU wall if all the grout is at the bottom and top of the wall, and the middle of your flexural element is a bar in a hollow cell?
Some large retail customers REQUIRE that an infrared camera survey be performed after the CMU is grouted. This will clearly tell you where the voids are. If there is a lot of doubt as to the quality of the consolidation, I highly reccomend it. If I was king for a day, I would highly reccomend to the owner it be done on any CMU job of significance. Imagine the built in QC you get if the mason knows all the CMU will be shot after grouting. Depending on the size of the building, these surveys can cost $1000-$2000.... If you want more information in general check out Stocktoninfrared.com , and if you are in the eastern US I highly reccomend these guys, they do great work and produce great documentation. And no, I do not get a kickback for reccomending them......

J. Rosie Tighe, Ph.D.
J. Rosie Tighe is an assistant professor in the department of Urban Studies in the Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University. She was previously an assistant professor in the department of Geography and Planning at Appalachian State University. She holds a PhD in Community and Regional Planning from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master's Degree in Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning from Tufts University. She has published research on affordable housing, gentrification, segregation, "shrinking" cities, as well as co-edited The Affordable Housing Reader. Dr. Tighe's work focuses on issues related to affordable housing, social justice, and equitable development, and attempts to achieve two main goals:
Producing and Preserving Affordable Housing in Shrinking Cities: Challenges and Opportunities
The national conversation about housing affordability has not sufficiently addressed the unique needs of shrinking, or "Legacy" cities. Federal programs to combat the affordable housing challenge in the US are designed primarily to produce new housing at an affordable price. These programs have been designed to address severe affordability crises in high-growth, strong-market cities such as Boston, San Francisco, and New York. In Legacy Cities – cities that have lost population and jobs year after year since their peak in the mid-20th Century – the problem is different. Where strong-market cities require subsidies aimed at low and moderate-income households, Legacy Cities like Cleveland, Buffalo, and St. Louis have adequate supply at those affordability levels. Thus, the challenge in Legacy Cities is not necessarily one of affordability, but one of housing quality and preservation of affordability. As land banks and city agencies in declining urban areas use targeted demolition to reduce vacancy and abandonment, low-income households find the supply of quality affordable housing dwindling. This presentation explores the policy and planning tools available to "shrinking" cities as well as some creative solutions to their unique housing challenges.

Maintenance records
Is there a website where you can check all
work done on your vehicle by your car's
vin numbers, like dealers when they did the
repair s and what was exactly done? I want
to see if my timing belt was ever changed
on my 98 es300 lexus
2 Answers
There is www.carfax.com, but not everything will be listed. If it is a local car, call a few Lexus Dealers to see if the car was in for repair. you might get lucky.
Just get the belt changed- it is probably time for a new water pump too- this is just regular maintenance, and it is SO much better to err on the side of caution- a LOT better than bent valves- and why wait for the water pump to go out before you replace it?

08 February 2014In Course of Arrangement
Peter Saville continues his collaborations with Anna Blessman with a new series of works which playfully subvert normal ideas about what constitutes a work of art. Small signs with legends such as "This exhibit has been temporarily removed and will be returned as soon as possible" and "Object removed for photography" become the artworks themselves.
Saville and Blessman's Art Accessories (along with some Saville solo work) will be exhibited in the upcoming Art 14 show at the Olympia Grand Hall in London from 28 February until 2 March 2014.
More info at paulstolper.com.
Labels: Anna_Blessman, art, Peter Saville
Post punk cult band The Names emerged in the winter of 1977-1978 as The Passengers, gathering immediate attention on the local Brussels scene. In 1979, after a series of successful gigs and a crucial step forward opening for Magazine, they recorded their first E.P. ("Spectators Of Life") and attracted the interest of prominent label Factory Records in Manchester.
Their first British studio session (at Stockport's Strawberry Studio) produced the single "Nightshift" / "I Wish I Could Speak Your Language (Fac 29). Receiving enthusiastic reviews in the UK and abroad, it marked the start of a long and fruitful collaboration with producer Martin Hannett. The album "Swimming" followed as well as more singles, including "Calcutta" and "The Astronaut".

We build new worlds
The new hypergrid at 2worlds2go. Some help for the grid admin.
The new hypergrid is up and I finally have some time to write something. All the islands are stable now and I can jump in and out to other grids. But it was 5 days of hard work to figure out how to set it up. There is not much documentation to help. The grid is of course behind a router and firewall and is a local grid connect to internet. This creates a lot of problems if you want to connect both inside the network and outside.
Helpful things I have learned.
-- You need a router that can transfer the communication to the different Sims and you need to know how to setup port forwarding.
-- I think you need a domain where you can setup subdomains. Anyway this is how I got it to work. The subdomains do not do much on the internet its for the internal network. The big problem is that a internal network and the internet works the same way but the computers in the internal network do not have any internet IP addresses. And you want to be able to do stuff on the islands even if you are behind the firewall. With a subdomain it is possible for the internal workstations to find for example the sandbox. Then its address is http://sandbox.2worlds2go.eu not much use on the internet for that there is the routers port forwarding.
-- Inside the network you need your own DNS server to solve the network addresses in the internal network. I do not think this is necessary more than for the internal network. If your not working with computers setting up a DNS server is like running in to a wall. Ask someone who knows.
Well, well.
As I said it took me a week to figure it out. Setting up a single island really work right out of the box. But when you get it going it is easy to ad more Sims.
Of course this is a working grid so most of the Sims are only up when someone is working on them. The grid address is http://hg.2worlds2go.eu:8002 But there are some restrictions because we have a terrible internet connection being all out in the Swedish landscape. You can see more on http://2worlds2go.eu. Sometimes the High Fidelity server is running on the sandbox and slow things down it is a Alfa you know.
Getting to the bottom of Second life. This world will live on.
To be honest I have not been around Second life much the last year. My 2worlds2go virtual company have been doing other stuff and I have a art and design company in RL that takes up my time.
I try to get inworld and check out some new place everyday but it is often only for fifteen minutes and then I have to do other stuff again. So today I decided to read and look at video and try to get updated on the world again.
So I went inworld to play some games and see if things have changed. After a few hours and stuck in a maze I think Second life is really well and will be around for a long time. More stable and a lot of new functions to build new experiences. I have done some driving and it is soon at the same level as it was when I first came to SL. Strange nothing can be done about this.
I have been testing a lot of new software the last months and I think I know why Second life will be around.
1: Content. There are some many talented creators and the new places are really good. When you see them thru the Oculus Rift you are amazed. No place have so much content as Second life. You can buy almost anything your avatar needs. No other world comes even close. Does Linden lab really think people will start all over again.
2: The tools are easy to use. Anybody can get in to creating. I was wrong about mesh. It looks great but make less people get in to virtual designs.
3: Standardization. You have a basic avatar that can be modified as you like. This makes it so much easier for content creators to do add-ons and clothes. Yes you can look like anything but people tend to look pretty much the same with a few personal alterations. If i buy a mesh avatar there will be others that look the same. We do not like that.
4: It is a world. You can walk on the continents. There are city's and beaches but it have the feel of a complete world. Yes you can fly, I think that's overrated by the way, and teleport but the world is a place you understand. The most successful games and worlds looks close to RL. In WOW there is magic and monsters but the world is much like ours. It have also been around for a long time. Look at Active worlds, Blue Mars and Cloud party. Nice ideas but not worlds I want to spend a lot of time in.
5: People wants to have fun not be sys admins and run servers. This is why I think that Opensim and High fidelity got it wrong. I will pay to not run servers on my spare time I just want to go inworld and not care about the tech. There is money here.
If Linden lab is going to have any success with the new world they have to do some pretty amazing stuff. High Fidelity is far away from creating a world that is a contender. Opensim needs a central company to bind all the grids together. Unfortunately hypergrid is not enough.
No Second life is in good shape and that's good news.
High Fidelity is like the space program. Not for everybody but there could be spinoff effects.
Got the server up and made some stuff and uploaded it to the my 2worlds2go place. Works fine. What I really like is the possibility to use several servers for the conten…
Read more: High Fidelity is like the space program. Not for everybody but there could be spinoff effects.
And so we recreate our self.
I needed to write something new to present my virtual company. Many things have happened since I started in 2007. With my work and in virtual. Not the same business anymo…

Loving everything you see?
Want to save a ton of money?
When you grab The I Want It All Kit you'll get our entire catalog of products for the stupid low price of $457.

Early Bird Special: Grab The Mid-Century Print Pack Mega Bundle for the special price of $49 for a limited time!
Design products tend to fall under one of two camps.
There hasn't been a class that gives you the tools you need as well as the knowledge you need to achieve specific results in your work (especially retro effects) - except The Mid-Century Mega Bundle.
The Mid-Century Mega Bundle is our popular Mid-Century Print Pack on steriods. You'll get actions, videos, brushes, textures, authentic retro stock art, and more. All in one pack!
Typically lifetime access to this pack would cost $254 (including the actions, videos, and clip art at retail price).
But today we've got something special for you. You can get this entire collection for just $49.
The Mid-Century Print Pack has been one of our best-selling products (just check out the 37 reviews below) - but with the 10 video bonuses and bonus stock art it's an absolute steal.
This collection is great for anyone trying to:
RetroMatic is a Photoshop action that gives you one of the most classic effects of mid-century print work, registration errors.
Registration errors occur when two or more colors are printed in separate passes. The result is the colors not perfectly matching up. The result is slight gaps between colors and lines and happy mistakes where the inks overlap.
SparkPrint is a Photoshop action that let's you achieve another classic mid-century effect in your work - monotones.
Monotones were an economical way to add different tints of a color to print work without using different color inks (every color cost extra money - so it was in printers and advertisers best interest to use the same color to save on printing expenses).
The InkChamp Photoshop action reproduces the subtle ink starve you see around the edges of color inks. It's a subtle but powerful effect that adds a great finishing touch to colored areas.
Remember those photograph/painting style pieces you see so often from the 50s? PhotoBaker makes it easy to achieve a similar effect.
Most halftones used in design work in Photoshop use a filter.
Perfect-O-Tone utilized a technique I learned from a designer friend who had some of the best halftones in his work I had ever seen. It works by converting your chosen layer into bitmap halftones that behave exactly like real halftones.
One of the first actions we ever released. RetroPrint recreates the look of newsprint including ink viscosity, roughness, and texture.
The Blacksmith Photoshop action was designed to simulate the subtle rough edges of ink on paper. Particularly when printed on cheap paper stock that was used in newspapers and magazines.
Includes videos that walk you through using each action. Plus, you'll get additional videos that teach you how to create the effects in the actions manually (so you can create these effects on your own if you want).
I bet you didn't know we have a sister stock image site. Yep, true story. In this pack, we'll give you 20 surprise pieces of authentic retro vector art from the 1940s and 1950s. These images took nearly a year to find, have researched by IP attorneys and get vectorized!
Most of the individual packs in the set come with suprise extras including subtle texture brushes, paper textures, and more. So when you download the pack expect some surprises!
The amount of tools and information you get in this product is insane.
I don't think there's even anywhere you can get a pack that provides such a comprehensive collection of retro resources.
Whether you're a professional designer or just starting in Photoshop this pack would be a disservice to your work not grab at this price.
Grab this pack now for $49 and rest easy knowing you got everything you need to create mid-century effects in Photoshop!
If you're an illustrator I'm willing to bet you love illustration work from the '50s and '60s.
There's just something about classic illustrations from that era.
Sketching with real pencils, building up dry brush work, using masking fluid, and adding text by taping on typed sheet.
It added soul and character to the work.
Programs like Photoshop and Illustrator save us a ton of time. But they also make it hard to capture the subtle nuances of traditional illustration techniques.
Today if you want to bring those subtle nuances to your work you have to work pretty hard.
Most illustrators and designers have developed their own unique process. It typically involves some mix of Illustrator, Photoshop, searching through tutorial websites, scanning, Photoshop brushes, filters and a little luck.
Some designers get amazing results this way. But when you're on a deadline (or just want to have fun and not think too much) it can be overwhelming.
My friend Brad Woodard and I thought it would be cool if there was a product that took some of the work out of the process.
So we decided to make a natural media brush and tutorial pack (so you can get everything you need to make natural looking illustrations in one place).
Step 1. Spent a ton of time collecting and sharing illustration work we loved
We used Pinterest to build a collection of illustrations we loved. This included a lot of 1950s children's book illustrations. It also included work from current designers that achieve a great looking hand drawn look in their illustrations.
Step 2. Create 100+ brush presets and test them with Brad
I'll be the first to admit I'm not the best illustrator. But Brad Woodard is one of my favorites. What I love so much about his work is that it seamlessly mixes mid-century inspired illustration with modern touches.
So we spent hours on Skype working together. I'd make brushes, try them myself and then send them over to Brad via Skype chat.
He'd try them in his illustration work. Then give me feedback (for example, "This brush sucks, Dustin. Don't ever make one like that again").
After early a dozen hours working, refining and testing we had a set of 20 brushes we both loved. For every one we kept, we threw away 5.
Step 3. Create a set of tutorials to compliment the brushes
Early on in our conversations Brad mentioned something really interesting to me. Normally, when you buy brushes you're kind of left hanging. You have to download them and just start messing around. Eventually you might find a few you like.
We thought it made more sense to include tutorials with a REAL project. That way, you can download the brushes, install them and start working on something right away.
That way you get way more value. Not only do you have the tools, but you also have someone helping you get the most out of them.
Step 4. Add lots of little touches to make the pack as awesome as possible
It would be easy to make a pack of brushes, put it in a ZIP file and offer it for sale.
But if you've bought RetroSupply products before you know we never do that. We want to make the products as friendly and enjoyable to use as possible.
So we did what we always do with RetroSupply products. We thought out the little details to make the product the best it could be.
Here's some of the little details we added:
The result is a brush/tutorial pack that we're both proud of. It's helps you improve your illustration work with great tools and great tutorials.
This pack is the first in a series of "dream brush" packs that Brad and I are making together.
Each one explores a different style of mid-century illustration work. This first pack is all about illustrations that use pencils and dry brushes.
Here's what's included in the SpaceRanger Pack:
If you were to take a class and get supplies to learn this kind of stuff at a real school (even an affordable community college) you'd be set back over $100. And that's low-balling it.
But with the SpaceRanger Brush and Tutorial pack you acquire some incredible tools and skills for about the price of a take-and-bake pizza. Plus, you don't have to drive across town for 12 weeks taking the classes.
The only way we could make this easier is if you could download the knowledge into your head (and that technology simply doesn't exist yet).
The SpaceRanger Brush Pack requires Adobe Photoshop CS4+ as well as a pressure sensitive tablet (for example, a Wacom Cintiq). File size is approximately 19.5 MB.
Product includes:
Diet Textures Product Tour from RetroSupply on Vimeo.
(Note: We used the VectorHero brushes to create the illustration you see in the video. Grab 'em here.)
I love working in Illustrator.
But I HATE adding textures in Illustrator.
Yeah, you know why... Because of this spinning wheel of death! It pops up when I least expect it and totally ruins my flow.
And it always seems to happens when I forget to save my work!
So after a particularly traumatic Illustrator/texture/crash event I had enough. So I started racking my brains trying to think of a way to solve this problem.
I searched all over the web for different solutions and found one that I loved. I saw a lot of screen printers using it and it just eliminated the whole issue of Illustrator crashing.
So I made a the flagship pack and called it Diet Vector Textures. Diet because, you know, the textures are super-light and won't bloat (or crash) Illustrator.
It includes 15 high resolution TIFF files that you can easily drop into illustrator and change the color with the click of a button. These files are super-lightweight, guaranteed not to crash Illustrator, and look great in your work.
Here's some cool stuff I love about this pack:
This pack will become a reliable friend. You can come back to it again and again to use in your illustrator projects.
Plus, by combining even two different textures, resizing, and layer you can make millions of unique textures. Not to mention they're 4000x4000 pixels so they work on big projects.
Just check out the Five-Star Reviews we've received so far. This pack is not fancy or hard to use. But it works like a dream.
Grab it now for the low price of $39.
Six months ago we partnered with Von Glitschka to release the DragStrip Vector Brush Pack.
The pack instantly became a best-seller... and ever since then we've received requests almost daily for another pack.
I can honestly say this is the most comprehensive and well-made pack of paint-style vector brushes ever made (wait until I tell you what's included in the pack).
Between the 40+ DragStrip vector paint brushes, Painting with Vector Brushes ebook, example files and the 24-minute step-by-step video training, you can't go wrong.
Just check out the preview images. The results are so realistic it's nearly impossible to tell if it's vector or real paint!
The original DragStrip pack got 100% 5-star ratings. Here's what customers had to say about the original pack.
Really surprised by the quality of these brushes. They do not look like your typical vector brush sets. Having fun just playing with them and layering them to see the effects that are possible.
Damon M.
Its tough finding great looking realistic Illustrator brushes, but these are exactly what I've been looking for. Very versatile, pressure sensitive, the whole 9 yards. Well done!
Kevin S.
These brushes allow vector artwork to have the texture and quality of paint. We all know how good vector art is a being precise,clean & defined; these brushes are loose and messy allowing you to take vector work in a different direction that is still infinitely scaleable.
Simon W.
I tried these brushes right away because I was so excited to put them to use. They are fantastic and easy to use, thanks so much for providing original example work by Von Glitschka to examine exactly how this genius illustrator uses his one of a kind brushes.
Chris R.
Von is principal of Glitschka Studios a small boutique design firm located in the Pacific Northwest. Their diverse range of illustrative design has been used by some of the most respected global brands. We creatively collaborate with ad agencies, design firms, in-house corporate art departments, and small businesses to produce compelling illustrative design.

What makes this pack different from DragStrip 1?
DragStrip 1 and 2 definitely share similarities. But DragStrip 2 includes 35 new paint brushes (made with different brushes) as well as 7 vector brushes for linework that are specially made so they don't distort with length. Plus, you're getting a step-by-step Vector Painting ebook and a 24-minute Vector Painting tutorial video by Von. Lastly, you get example files and textures.
In a nutshell, you're getting lots more fresh new goodies and training!
Do I need to be an Illustrator genius to use this pack?
Absolutely not. This pack gives you tons of brush and learning resources so you can become a better illustrator! Of course, if you're already strong in Illustrator your results will be even better.
What version of Adobe Illustrator do I need?
We've saved versions for both Adobe Illustrator CC and CS6. However, you're welcome to try it with a lower version. If you run into any problems just let us know. We'll refund your money promptly.
How did you make the brushes?
The brushes were made from real brush strokes. Then scanned at 800 DPI and imported into Photoshop for careful and extensive touch-up work. Often multiple brushes were combined to capture the best traits of each stroke. Then the brushes were converted to vectors. We struck a careful balance between detailed brushes while paying close attention to processing requirements.
Why does DragStrip 2 cost more than DragStrip 1?
If you count all brushes, tutorials and guides you're actually paying less. DragStrip 2 has nearly twice the brushes. Plus, you get extensive tutorials and training not included in DragStrip 1.
Are any of these brushes recycled from DragStrip 1?
Nope, we would never do that. Each brush is new and unique. Plus, you get the fine line pattern brushes that maintain stroke integrity no matter how long the line!

Finally, Charcoal Brushes for Illustrator!
Traditionally, if you want to create authentic charcoal and pencil effects digitally, it happens it Photoshop.
The only problem is then your stuck with artwork that's hard to resize. Or worst yet, you send it to the printers, and you get back fuzzy (or pixelated) work!
Blech! Embarassing and annoying!
That's why we created VectorSketch. It's a deluxe package of 40 charcoal and graphite based brushes.
Now you can stay in your safe place and do all your work in Illustrator. And of course, get beautifully scalable results.
Here's exactly what you'll receive when you click the Buy Now Button:
If you were to buy all these supplies, create hundreds of samples, vectorize, clean and minimize points and package them as beautifully as we did you could easily spend over $400 (including the cost of supplies and the dozens of hours it took to make).
Luckily you don't have to do that! We've done all the work and created a set that will hold a place of honor among your Illustrator brushes for just $15!
Yep, $15. Less than the price to get a pizza delivered!
Click the Add to Cart button and get your copy of VectorSketch now!
Get a new pack of grungy grimy brushes each week (four packs in total). A new pack is added every Thursday. But grab it fast – there's only 47 packs available!
The Garage Grime Vector Brushes are a set of four packs, each with 15 unapologetically gritty Illustrator brushes (including some no-stretch vector brushes) that will make your work look as though it was drawn on paper.
So we dug around in the grimiest, most rugged place we know: our garages. And it was there that we found 65-year-old old wax crayons, oil stains, grease drips and everything we need to make this vector brush pack.
Inspired by a pack of 1950s wax oil crayons we found just sitting in a garage – hence the name – these brushes recreate the rough, unfiltered sketches made by commercial artists in the mid 20th century, and will add that vital human touch to your designs and illustrations.
Click here to go behind the scenes and see how we made the pack
This was my first time buying a brush subscription pack and I'm glad I did. The brushes are easy to install and start using immediately. For me, these brushes make illustrator feel more organic. Thanks a lot. Can't wait for my next three packs!
Daniel M.
Every week for the next 4 weeks you'll receive 15 new vector brushes (total of 60). Each pack will be unique and different, but they will all be garage grime inspired.
One of the packs will come with a limited set of bonus no-stretch versions of some of the brushes. That means no matter how long or short you make the stroke it won't look distorted.
The no-stretch brushes will be in addition to the 15 you get. For example, in the first pack (The Wax & Oil Vector Brush Pack) you'll get 7 no-stretch brushes in addition to the 15 standard Wax & Oil Brushes.
Each pack comes with an inspiring and beautifully designed brush reference guide. This makes it easy to see what each brush looks like. Plus, each reference guide includes the history behind the set.
We want you enjoy these brushes right away, so we've made easy to follow instructions with pictures. That mean's less time worrying about installation and more time creating!
If you use Illustrator you've experienced the frustration of finding high quality Illustrator brushes.
Today I have something really special for you. It's called the Dragstrip Illustrator Brush Kit. This set of brushes will make your vector work look like it was made with a paint brush.
Did I mention these brushes were created by Von Glitschka? The guy who literally wrote the book on using Illustrator?
Von's has done incredible work for brands including Nike, Wendy's, Capri Sun and he recently created the new Dungeon & Dragons brand!
In fact, Von's work has made such an impact on the design world that some versions of Illustrator come loaded with his work as examples!
Here's what's included in the Dragstrip Illustrator Brush Kit:
Take a look at the example images. Von's included some amazing artwork showing just how realistic these Illustrator brushes look.
In fact, when Von first sent me the email artwork I couldn't believe this was made in Illustrator! I was sure it was Photoshop. Until I opened the AI file... then my mind was blown.
I asked Von how he suggests using the brushes and he had some great tips:
"You start with simple shapes that have a fill color and a matching stroke color. Then it's all about experimenting by drawing other lines and applying brushes to them. If you deconstruct the usage sample files you can discern how I compiled the elements and how they work together to achieve the look and feel."
"Controlling a brush comes down to the shapes of the path, picking a stroke color which sets the brush color, selecting size of path which determines stroke width, setting the opacity and using blend modes to interact with other colors and create the illusion of painting."
Okay, so to summarize you're getting the entire set of 26 Illustrator brushes, 26 TIFF versions of the brushes, 2 example usage files you can deconstruct and the Dragstrip Quick Reference sheet.
All made by one of the world's leading vector artists!
I can tell you from using this pack – the example files alone are easily worth $15. You'll learn so much just by deconstructing these examples.
It's worth grabbing this kit now, so you have it on hand when you need it. I know you'll be thrilled with the results you achieve!
Want to try it before you buy it? You can download the sample back below. Remember, the sample pack contains 5 brushes NOT in the Dragstrip kit.
All we ask is if you love the sample pack you consider purchasing the premium pack.
When you purchase the Dragstrip Illustrator Brush Kit you'll get 26 additional Illustrator brushes, the high-resolution TIFF files, example images and the Quick Reference Guide.

Get 19th Century American Wood Cut Type Effects Instantly (Innovative Photoshop Action)
Product Specifications
The Story
In the early 19th century breakthroughs in printing technology transformed print forms away from hand lettered script styles and into industrial, hard edged blocks of type.
For over a century print companies like Hamilton Manufacturing, Empire Wood Type Co., American Wood Type Mfg Co. and Eastern Brass & Wood Type created beautiful type for mass consumption. A huge variety of gothic, antique and slab fonts were used to create gorgeous advertisements, notices, posters and more.
In the 1920s wood type product began to decline due to faster due to offset printing technology. But wood type still lives on through a handful of printers that still practice this tradition.
How It Works
American Wood Type is directly inspired by this history and manufactures. Using common woods and inks we've done our best to recreate these print effects digitally using textures, patterns and a powerful Photoshop action.

You know how in Illustrator it's a total pain to shade your work or add textures?
Especially when you need to get in tight corners. It always ends up being an elaborate process. I know when I do it I feel like I'm trying to be the MacGyver or Illustrator to make it work.
This pack totally solves this problem (and solves it well).
This pack was made by Von Glitschka (author of Vector Basic Training, most-viewed instructor on Lynda.com, professional illustrator for clients like SXSW, Adobe, Nike, Planters, Wendy's, Dungeon & Dragons, and tons more).
Von spends 50+ hours a week illustrating (and a lot of that times is in Illustrator). Being the smart designer that he is, that means that he's invented time-saving tools for himself.
And The Awesome Organic Vector Brush Essentials Bundle includes three of these tools (and so many extras your head is going to spin).
These are hands down my favorite brushes in the pack. You get 15 shading pattern brushes. These brushes give you that rich textured shading look.
But the best part is that they're only textured on one side! That means you can easily use them on edges of shapes and not have to deal with trying to mask the texture on the other side.
This alone is going to save you a lot of time, trouble and frustration. Imagine no longer having to use clipping masks to hide the textures in your illustration.
Another huge challenge of keeping your work in Illustrator is adding a subtle distressed texture to your work. You can overlay textures (this actually works pretty well). But sometimes you need more control.
For example, what if you want to add texture to your work but you need it to be less intense around your typography to keep it readable?
The Organic Shader Scatter Brush Set makes it easy to solve the problem. Just choose from one of the 15 scatter brushes and paint the textures on exactly where you want them.
One of the beautiful things about Illustrator is that it gives you crisp scalable graphics. But sometimes your line work can look too crisp and clean.
For example, look at the tribal illustration in the before and after image. It looks pretty good with clean crisp lines. But being that it's a tribal design it would make sense that the lines aren't so sharp and crisp.
Choose one of the 15 organic linework brushes and your work instantly takes on a more rugged, illustrated style.
Plus, since each of these packs includes 15 brushes you can try out all sorts of different variations. It's literally as easy as flipping through channels on tv.
Studies have shown that when people physically do things they learn better. That's why we've provided Ai files of the artwork. By giving you access to professional illustration work you can "look under the hood" and quickly understand how stuff works.
You'll be amazed at the kind of tricks you'll pick up in minutes (not hours) of look through these files.
By the way, these aren't simple illustrations. We're talking about full blown complex illustrations with shading, textures, gradients, blending modes, and more.
Want to learn step-by-step how a pro uses these kind of brushes. Than you're going to love these 3 tutorials from Von.
In each tutorial Von shows you the EXACT way he uses these brushes in his work. I think you'll be amazed by what you can learn from the tutorials.
What makes these tutorials so great? Well, first of all you're learning from an illustrator that produces world-class illustration work for some of the biggest companies in the world. But more important you're learning from someone who is a fantastic teacher.
Create Beautiful Vintage Work Like Your Favorite Designers
Have you ever stared in awe at the rich & worn textures of your favorite designers? This Photoshop pack makes it easy to achieve these beautiful textures.
This product doesn't use any actions. Just place your design in a folder and save. Then adjust texture levels to build up your own unique worn effects.
SuperGrain is inspired by 70s t-shirts, classic album covers, and high school art class (no computers, pencils and paint, y'all) : )
"Amazing product. Incredibly quick and easy to do. I love the subtle textures and variety of options, and it best of all - it makes designs look cool! You'll be glad you got this one." Nicholas M.
"Made my job way faster and honestly better than what I was producing." Douglass C.
"The setup of the PS layers and smart-filters gives some nice control over the detail and smoothness. I usually do more detailed renderings, but this pack has given me an opportunity to try some things I might not have thought of otherwise. It rocks." Steven O.
What versions of Photoshop is SuperGrain compatible with?
SuperGrain works Photoshop CS4, CS5, CS6 and CC.
Do I need to be a Photoshop genius to figure this out?
Not at all. If you can paste your work into a file you can use SuperGrain.
How much control do I have over these effects?
You get 100% control with SuperGrain. Choose textures, intensities and layering with the click of a mouse.
Are these textures high quality enough for printing?
Of course, we pride ourselves on creating the best textures in the industry. Like all print projects we recommend doing a test print to see for yourself before sending it to the printers.
What if I'm not satisfied with my purchase?
We love SuperGrain and think you will too. But if for any reason you're not happy just contact us using the contact form on our site. We'll happily give you a 100% refund, no hard feelings.

The Awesomely Organic Vector Brush Essential Pack, DragStrip and DragStrip 2 instantly became best-sellers, so we decided to make it easy for you to grab all of them at one time. What's even better is that we included Von Glitschka's typeface, Nincompoop, and his two vector art packs as free bonuses, so you have everything you need to take your vector illustrations to the next level.
I can honestly say these are the most comprehensive and well-made packs of paint-style vector brushes ever made, so it was obvious that we needed to bundle them all together to make one vector brush super pack. But the pack is called Everything Glitschka, so we had to throw in his typeface and vector art packs to make the pack complete!
Did I mention these brushes and bonuses were created by Von Glitschka? The guy who literally wrote the book on using Illustrator?
Von's has done incredible work for brands including Nike, Wendy's, Capri Sun and he recently created the new Dungeon & Dragons brand!
In fact, Von's work has made such an impact on the design world that some versions of Illustrator come loaded with his work as examples!
Von spends 50+ hours a week illustrating (and a lot of that time is in Illustrator). Being the smart designer that he is, that means that he's invented time-saving tools for himself. We've collected all of those tools and made one awesome toolbox just for you.
Between the 61+ DragStrip, DragStrip 2, and Organic vector paint brushes, Painting with Vector Brushes ebook, example files and the 4 step-by-step video tutorials, bonus Nincompoop typeface, and 2 bonus vector art packs, you can't go wrong.
Here is a breakdown of what you'll get:
Dragstrip Vector Brush Pack ($15 value)
DragStrip 2 Vector Brush Pack ($29 value)
The Awesomely Organic Vector Brush Essential Pack ($45 value)
The original DragStrip, DragStrip2 and Organic Vectors packs got 100% 5-star ratings. Here's what customers had to say about the original packs.
Really surprised by the quality of these brushes. They do not look like your typical vector brush sets. Having fun just playing with them and layering them to see the effects that are possible.
Damon M.
Its tough finding great looking realistic Illustrator brushes, but these are exactly what I've been looking for. Very versatile, pressure sensitive, the whole 9 yards. Well done!
Kevin S.
These brushes allow vector artwork to have the texture and quality of paint. We all know how good vector art is a being precise,clean & defined; these brushes are loose and messy allowing you to take vector work in a different direction that is still infinitely scaleable.
Simon W.
I tried these brushes right away because I was so excited to put them to use. They are fantastic and easy to use, thanks so much for providing original example work by Von Glitschka to examine exactly how this genius illustrator uses his one of a kind brushes.
Chris R.
Von is principal of Glitschka Studios a small boutique design firm located in the Pacific Northwest. Their diverse range of illustrative design has been used by some of the most respected global brands. We creatively collaborate with ad agencies, design firms, in-house corporate art departments, and small businesses to produce compelling illustrative design.

Do I need to be an Illustrator genius to use this pack?
Absolutely not. This pack gives you tons of brush and learning resources so you can become a better illustrator! Of course, if you're already strong in Illustrator your results will be even better.
What version of Adobe Illustrator do I need?
We've saved versions for both Adobe Illustrator CC and CS6. However, you're welcome to try it with a lower version. If you run into any problems just let us know. We'll refund your money promptly.
How did you make the brushes?
The brushes were made from real brush strokes. Then scanned at 800 DPI and imported into Photoshop for careful and extensive touch-up work. Often multiple brushes were combined to capture the best traits of each stroke. Then the brushes were converted to vectors. We struck a careful balance between detailed brushes while paying close attention to processing requirements.
Are any of the brushes from DragStrip 2 recycled from DragStrip 1?
Nope, we would never do that. Each brush is new and unique. Plus, you get the fine line pattern brushes that maintain stroke integrity no matter how long the line!
This do-all texture pack adds subtle grain, rough edges, ink textures, heavy grunge textures with ease.
This 40 piece set contains easy-to-use brush presets that are always just a quick cursor sweep away. Pressure sensitive brush presets made from real ink and print samples makes adding final touches t your work a breeze.
The ultra-sharp grain textures are created from real ink and print textures. Each one scanned in at 600 DPI. Then refined for 20 hours so each brush responds to pressure to give you the precision you require when adding textures.
Plus, you'll love all the time you save putting the final touches on your work. Get projects done faster. Enjoy results that clients love and designers envy.
Don't spend a minute longer wasting hours trying to add perfect textures to your work. Start achieving stunning textures instantly today!
Click the "Buy Now" button in the upper right corner of your screen and start enjoying Turbo Textures right now.
Do these brushes work with a Wacom tablet?
Yes! In fact, they were specially designed for a Wacom tablet (or any other brand of tablet). You'll find the brushes are pressure sensitive and adjust in intensity and size.
What type of files does this pack include?
The main brushes are Brush Tool Presets (AKA .tpl files). But we've also included 10 .abr brushes.
Do I need a Wacom tablet to use these brushes?
The short answer is no. You'll get some great looking effect with these Brush Tool Presets and Brushes with just a mouse. But we've built a lot of goodies in for designers and illustrators using tablets.
Why should I buy this now?
Of course you don't have to buy it now. But if you ever add ink, screen, grain or grunge textures to your work they'll come a time when you wish you had it. Probably sooner than later. So might as well grab it while you'll remember!
What if I try it and don't like it?
Every product from RetroSupply is backed by our Risk-Free Guarantee. If you don't love it for any reason, hell, if you see a picture of me and don't like my hair. Just send us an email within 60 days and we'll happily refund your money. No questions asked.
Let's face it. It's basically impossible to find good ink textures for your work. You can search all over the web for brushes and end up wasting hours (and still have no good tools to show for it).
I'll let you in on a little secret (and this is exactly why they're so hard to find)...
Most of the people making these brushes are getting other people's free resources (and poorly made low resolution ones at that) and creating their own brushes or textures from them.
Plus, the original brushes and textures weren't even made from real ink textures in the first place!
The result is a disappointing set of tools that make it seem impossible to get these effects.
I've always wanted a pack like this (and always been majorly disappointed and the products on the market).
So while on sabbatical in Florence, Italy I discovered a little art shop on a cobblestone side street. I couldn't resist going in (especially when I imagined that guys like Michelangelo had probably walked down these same streets).
Inside I found a little shop packed from floor to ceiling with paint, ink, brushes, rollers and paper. I decided that I wanted to take a little piece of my journey home with me (in the form of some amazing ink textures).
So I bought a bunch of ink, rollers, brushes and paper and went back to my apartment for the weekend to make the best ink pack that I could.

[WARNING] These brushes are stupid easy to use. All you need to do is open the file, save the brushes, and start swiping some InkWash goodness on your work!
Illustrator User? You're Going to Love This
I've always loved the way commercial artists from the mid-century used watercolor.
Mix water, add a dab of India ink and soak the brush. Then spread deep, textured shades across your sketches and pen work in one quick swoop.
The only problem is until now watercolor sets have been too complicated and just plain crazy.
Personally, I love to make things stupid simple whenever possible.
That's why we created InkWash. It's a set of 30 watercolor brushes made by hand in the RetroSupply studios with India ink and water.
You don't need to upload any swatches, or read a 2000 word manual to use these brushes.
Here's exactly what you get when you buy the InkWash now:
But don't be deceived. You can still add colors to these brushes and mix them up just like real watercolors.
Just click on a brush, select a color and you're good to go.
I've shared this set with a handful of my designer friends. They've all told me almost the same thing:
They had to buy 3-4 kits to get as many useful brushes as they found in this kit. And those other kits were more complicated to use!
Grab this pack now for just $15. That way you have them when you need them (instead of searching all over or hoping this one is still available).
P.S. When you buy now I'll be sending you a FREE email with tips on how to get even more out of the brushes. Including layering colors, creating masks and more!
Note: These chalk brushes were made using our 5-Step-Vectorization Method. The result is extremely realistic chalk brushes, so real, they're hard to tell from the real thing!
Drygoods refers to dry food and other miscellaneous household goods. The term was often used during the late 19th and early 20th century.
The DryGoods | Chalk Brushes for Illustrator Pack is a throwback to these stores.
Due to the ever-changing assortment of goods chalkboard signs and A-frame signs were used to advertise the days specials.
The DryGoods set equips you with 23 chalk Illustrator brushes. These brushes were created by using a variety of different chalks. Each with different amounts of wear and tear (for maximum diversity in your work)
Finally, we scanned them in at 600 DPI, post processed the scans in Photoshop, used premium auto trace software to convert to vector, and then minimized as many points as possible.
Admittedly, with something like chalk you still end up with a lot of points.
The result is a set of chalk brushes that look extremely real. Even though they're vector (as you can see from the examples) they look just like real chalk!
Be sure to view the Product Details tab for everything you get!
Here's what you get when you buy the pack:
Do these brushes include fills or layer styles?
Nope. These are just standard brushes for vector artists. No fancy do-it-for-you stuff in this pack. We're going old school on you ; )
Are these brushes pressure sensitive?
Again, no. They work great with a Wacom but they also work equally well for adding a chalk sign look with a mouse.
How did you get the effects in the example?
Just using the chalk brush set! I used the chalk brushes to add outlines to text, scribbled with thicker chalk brushes for fills, and then contained them in clipping masks (if you're not familiar with clipping masks look it up now! They are crazy awesome!)
I got an email from a RetroSupply customer the other day. Here's what he said:
I'm editing the email for length FYI. The awesome thing is that I've heard this a few times – and I love it!
Don't get me wrong. RetroSupply is in the business of making money (we have to pay our bills!) - But it absolutely thrills me when a customer finds something that makes them feel like they have an edge.
Did you know that when you make subtle brushes you have to carefully sharpen the edges of the brush texture? That way you don't get blotchy fades. That's just one of dozens of little extra steps we take to make sure you're getting the best textures you can find anywhere.
This is stuff we've learned from trial and error, carefully studying other products, and getting insider tips from other designers.
We know that it can be frustrating to get a product and then have to guess how to use it. That's why we create guides, videos, and reference sheets to help you get 100% out of every product you buy.
I'm good friends with a designer who has been my hero since I took my first design class. He's a fantastic illustrator. But he always had the best textures. Every time the dude put a Dribbble shot up people were commenting on these textures.
So one day I asked him how he did it (I didn't even try to ask for like a year). He graciously shared his secrets with me. I took those ideas and then slowly added my own tricks to it. This ended up being The 3-Step Texture Formula.
It's simple but I'm surprised how many people don't do it!
Some packs of textures are over the top. They're impossible to use because they're so intense and crazy.
So we focused on creating these texture packs so they enhance your work (instead of stealing your glory). These packs will add a little something to your work without drawing attention away from your designs.
Nothing is worse than getting a set of textures or brushes and then finding out they're so small you can't use them.
We make our packs big and high-res. That way you can use them on all sorts of projects. From big posters to tiny matchbooks.
This is a set of 100 overlays. Super-convenient. Just drop them on top of your work and adjust the blending mode and opacity. You'll be amazed at the different results you can get.
These have been insanely popular. My guess is because they add a subtle texture to your work without dominating it.
Plus, they've been carefully made to give you crisp yet subtle textures that don't have awkward blotched edges like other subtle brushes.
Honestly, vector textures can get crazy. It just takes a lot of anchor points to make textures in Illustrator. But I also know that some customers love them. And there are situations where vector textures are the best option.
This pack includes 60 vector ink textures for your work. You'll find halftones, paint textures, subtle textures and ore. Plus, we threw in some 19th century vector engravings for the fun of it!
These really should be called magic textures. These bitmap textures let you add super-detailed, rich and realistic textures to your vector work in seconds. Plus, they don't eat up your CPU.
Because they're bitmap textures. Just place them on top of your work, select the eyedropper tool and then select the color you want the texture to be.
It works fast and is easy to adjust, resize, and layer your textures. All in the comfort of Adobe Illustrator!
Note: This pack is brand new and only available in this bundle. But if we were to sell it it on it's own it would cost $15.
Choice #1 is to forget about this pack. Next time you're working on a project you can make your own textures (which is awesome - just time-consuming and it helps to know a few tricks). And of course,
And of course, you can take your chances playing Google roulette and see what textures come up for free.
Or you've got choice #2. Grab the Standard Issue Brush and Textures Bundle and have a heap of well-organized textures at your disposal next time you need them.
You'll save a ton of time searching the web or making your own textures. In fact, we've had customers say the pack pays for itself in one use.
Plus, you can shock your client or boss when they ask you to add texture to your work and you do it in like 3 minutes.
We're offering the pack for $29 today. But once we add more bitmap textures (and a PDF guide for the Bitmap Texture pack) the price will definitely go up.
The key to mastering any skill is understanding how to adjust and adapt techniques to fit your needs.
The same goes for adding textures to your work. If you don't know all the ways you can use the resources you're working with one hand tied behind your back.
Knowing EXACTLY how to use textures whether you're in Illustrator or Photoshop is a major key to working fast and creatively.
That's why we partnered with Von Glitschka to offer you The Awesomely Organic Texture Bus.
This huge pack of textures and brushes lets you give your illustrations high-quality textures with 100% control of how you use them (whether you're working in Photoshop or Illustrator).
Plus, Von's included everything you need to UNDERSTAND all the ways you can use these tools including two in-depth videos, one professional final Illustrator file, and one professional final Photoshop file.
The Awesomely Organic Texture Bus allows you to:
If you want to learn how to use textures in your illustrations, this is one of the best resources out there.
Grab it now for just $29 and become a texture ninja today!
P.S. Don't forget. The first 25 buyers get Von's best-selling book Crumble, Crackle, Burn in PDF format (including 70+ textures). This book retails for $35 new so it alone makes the pack a great deal!

"Boy loves girl, girl captured by bad man, girl restored to boy by god" was Frederick Ashton's summary of Sylvia, his second full-length ballet - hardly compelling reason for the Royal Ballet to break its neck to revive the piece half a century later. What's more, this long-forgotten vehicle for Margot Fonteyn struck audiences as old-fashioned even in 1952. Pinched by post-war rationing, ballet fans craved modern glamour. What they got in Sylvia was a 19th-century pastiche complete with nymphs drinking from painted pools and firing toy arrows from bits of elastic.
Daft plot, dodgy reception, and hardly anyone left alive who remembers it... so why revive Sylvia now? One reason is that the Ashton style risks being lost to the current generation of dancers. Another reason is Darcey Bussell. Newly returned from her second maternity leave, the company's longest-serving current principal and most athletic beauty is on resplendent form - but for how much longer? Add the incentive of Zenaida Yanowsky and Marianela Nunez in alternate casts, and you have a crack trio of Sylvias such as a company is rarely able to muster.
This ballet belongs to its ballerina, and it's a marathon test of her stamina and technique. Bussell breezes through the twiddlier steps despite being taller than Fonteyn, and looks positively heroic in Act I's fresh-air poses and soaring leaps devised to show Sylvia's power as a huntress. Where Bussell doesn't quite convince is in the emotional range of the role. Sultry seductress she isn't, and the middle act, where Sylvia fakes compliance with her abductor, is the weakest. Bussell's authority returns in Act III when Sylvia assumes a princessy air and Ashton's choreography references Petipa's. There's even a Sleeping Beauty-like wedding divertissement, including a duet for a pair of goats. In all, it amounts to a brimming eyeful of decorative solo dancing, which, for Darcey fans, is a treat.
Elsewhere, the pleasures are flimsier. Jonathan Cope's Aminta partners well but uninspiringly; Martin Harvey's Eros stands miraculously still for half an act as a statue; Thiago Soares threatens sexily but all too briefly as the villain Orion. Delibes' score, under Graham Bond, is as pretty as one remembers it (prime Classic FM territory, this), and the original Ironside brothers' sets - all painted billowy clouds and classical ruins - have been sensitively restored. Biggest credit, though, must go to Christopher Newton, the ex-ballet master who pieced the steps together from scraps of sketches and old dancers' memories. As a labour of love, Sylvia is a major achievement. As dance history, it's intriguing. In the end, though, it's ticket-buyers who'll decide if it was worth it.
Upstairs from the main house, in the Clore Studio, Sylvia's antique charms find their polar opposite in a spare, near-silent performance by two bald men in baggy jeans. Both Sitting Duet is what it says - a work involving two performers, two chairs, a score, and no audible music. The prospect seems grim until you see the potential for humour. It's of the dry sort, certainly, but there's plenty of it.
Both Sitting Duet arose from the mutual desire of choreographer Jonathan Burrows and composer Matteo Fargion to create something together on equal terms. Burrows doesn't read music. Fargion doesn't dance. But in this droll two-hander they transcribe a piece of modernist music into a fantastical gestural aria, note for note, bar for bar, and it's riveting. Deriving motifs from the nervous tics performers present before going on stage - flicking imaginary dust, flexing elbows, and a complicated kneading thing that is no doubt the secret of strudel pastry - their neat visual parallel becomes something else again: a subtle, rhythmic symphony of pianissimo sounds - the whoosh of palms on denim, the click of fingernail on shoe leather, and, even, occasionally, the stifled yelp of one of them getting it wrong. Seeing is believing, and hearing, in some peculiar way, set my nerve ends dancing in sympathy.
'Both Sitting Duet': Clore Studio, Royal Opera House, London WC2 (020 7304 4000), 17 to 19, 24 to 26 NovReuse content

Orthodox Bishops Kidnapped By Terrorists
Two Syrian Orthodox bishops have been abducted by terrorists in a suburb of Aleppo in Syria as they were returning from Antioch (Antakya, Turkey). While both clergymen are believed to be alive, their driver was killed during the attack: Syriac Orthodox bishop Yohanna Ibrahim and Greek Orthodox Archbishops of Aleppo Paul, who also happens to be the brother of Patriarch John of Antioch and All The East were abducted en route to Aleppo from a town on the Turkish border where they were carrying out humanitarian work.
