when i sat down to reimagine the new d*s one of the first things i wanted to add was more diy and craft-based content. i love weekend projects that add character and personality to a house but sadly i don't have time to do them as much as i'd like these days. rather than give up on the idea entirely i thought that it might be time to introduce a new editor (or two) to the site. i'm certainly not an expert on diy so i thought it might help to bring in two people who are.
it's my great, great pleasure to welcome lauren smith and derek fagerstrom of the curiosity shoppe to d*s! derek and lauren will be serving as design*sponge's craft editors and will join us every wednesday afternoon for a new diy project.
before moving to san francisco and launching the curiosity shoppe in october of 2006, lauren spent the previous 7 years working for designer todd oldham in his nyc studio. there she managed his PR department and helped produce photo shoots, television segments, magazine articles and events. she was also involved in the design and production of his book handmade modern, and managed the art department during the production of the accompanying television series for hgtv, where she appeared as todd's helper on a number of episodes. a dedicated do-it-yourselfer and lifelong crafter, lauren enjoys knitting, crocheting, weaving, sewing and making things out of paper.
derek is a san francisco-based editor, curator, and designer. he recently returned to the bay area after an 8-year stint in nyc where he worked at a variety of magazines including esquire and interview. when he's not helping lauren out in the shoppe he can be found tinkering around at ReadyMade magazine where he is their projects editor.
i'm so thrilled to welcome lauren and derek and their first DIY project: wine crate display cases! for the full instructions and their post please click "more".
Hello design*sponge readers! Wow, it's such a thrill to be posting our crafty DIY projects on one of our very favorite spots on the whole world wide web! We really hope you'll enjoy our weekly episodes, but our biggest wish is that they're a little creative kick to inspire you to do some projects of your own.
We thought we'd start with a very timely post. See, we recently moved to a cozy little apartment right above our Shoppe. It's quiet, clean, has nice floors, there's even an avocado tree right outside our window, but there isn't a lick of storage. We need storage. So we whipped up these wine crate display cases to house a few of our favorite knickknacks and doohickeys.
A quick trip to our local wine shop provided us with the majority of the necessary raw materials (wine crates) as well as a bottle of a little something with which to christen the project. We loved the rough hewn look of the wooden boxes, and decided the (literal) branding on the sides only added to their charm. To contrast the raw wood, we chose a rich and elegant print we felt would elevate our objets to museum worthy status.
Here's what you'll need:
Metal ruler
Giftwrap or other famcy paper
X-acto blade
Bone folder
Spray adhesive
Sawtooth hanger
Small nails
Rubber bumpers
Hanging hardware
First, use a metal ruler to measure the interiors of each crate to make sure you have enough fancy paper to line all of them. Next, draw out the measurements in pencil on the backside of the paper. In order to avoid any potential gaps along the interior edges, add a 1″ "allowance" as follows:
Long pieces: add 1″ to each of the three sides that border the interior of the box.
Short pieces: add 1″ allowance to the side that borders the back of the box.
Back piece: no allowance necessary
Using a straight edge and an X-acto blade, carefully cut out each piece of paper (five per box). Create fold lines by scoring along your pencil marks with a bone folder. Finally, miter each of the interior corners by cutting a 45 degree angle from the outside edge in, along the 1""allowance.
Now it's time to glue. In a well-ventilated area, apply spray adhesive to the back sides of each of your long pieces. Carefully place them carefully inside the box, lining up the folded edges with the edges of the box and smoothing out any air bubbles that may appear in the paper. Next, spray and apply the short pieces. At this point, all four sides of the box will be lined, and the back will have a 1″ border all the way around it. The last step is to spray and apply the back piece to the box. Smooth out bubbles and let dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
Decide which direction you want to hang your boxes, and attach a sawtooth hanger along the top edge of each box using a hammer and small nails. Apply peel-and-stick rubber bumpers along the bottom corners of each box, to ensure that they hang straight against the wall.
Mark the position of each box on the wall with a pencil, and attach them using the appropriate hanging hardware for your wall.
Welcome aboard Lauren and Derek! I love this project, thanks for sharing :)
hey, how cool is this!
so AWESOME!!! love this!

looking forward to the shoppe grand opening tomorrow, too! :)
Yay DIY – this is the perfect edition to your blog :D
What a wonderful addition to your blog. Love the first project too! I'm a big fan of ReadyMade.
Great idea! I love wine crates and have quite a few of them in use all over my house!
Oh, I love it! I even have a wooden wine box kicking around that cased a wine wedding gift. I couldn't bear to get rid of it, but haven't done anything with it either. This looks great!
ha. worked with derek at readymade. nice guy. lauren is adorable.
Cool feature, can't wait to see what else you come up with!
btw, if anyone knows anything as to what paper/brand was used, that'd be awesome.
super duper cool. we love them!!!
I am way excited about DIY Wednesdays.
I love everything about this section, what a great idea. For me, this is like the feeling I used to get when it was "craft time" on Mr. Dressup. Just love it. Thanks Grace, way to make "hump day" a day to look forward to!
so cool, welcome you two! you are officially invited over to my house to decorate :) see you tomorrow at your opening party!!!
wow! very cool indeed.
The perfect addition to your blog! As if I don't already have a long list of DIY crafts to complete..what's one more!!? And a great one at that..thanks! :)
I'm so excited about this new feature! These look wonderful & I can't wait to try it out myself. Yippee for the new Design*Sponge!!!!
Kudos Lauren and Derek, looking forward to next week :)
Can anyone tell me where to get the log vase in the pic. I love it!
sure emily! it's right here:
The paper used can be purchased from Paper-Source at this link: http://www.paper-source.com/cgi-bin/paper/100975.html?cm_id=3140.080.
It's called "Silver Blossoms & Blue Vines on Black." I just made wedding invitations with it, and it is gorgeous, with a nice texture and quality! $3.50 for a very large sheet.
Good luck on your project!
awesome x 100. Already thinking where to do something like this at home. Can't wait to see more projects.
Bring it on! Glad you are contributing. Lauren as a fellow weaver (& various crafter) I'm really proud to see you strut your crafts!
Nice work, guys! Sidenote: Isn't one of the books in your shelves 'LaPorte, Indiana?' It's in my bedroom on display as well… BEAUTIFUL photography!
Yay, I love their smarts and crafts blog and I am excited to see them all over at the design sponge blog. :)
Can't wait until they open their shop in SF.
Funny, I just read this in a DIY design book. Recently moved from NYC to SF myself. Fun project, especially with Sonoma and Nappa County making excellent wine crate suppliers.
I love the new web design and diy wednesday is surely something I will look forward to each week. I just have one complaint (and I truly am sorry to complain at all on this wonderful site!)—the ads on the right that jump all over make my eyes sooo tired and it is hard to read the very words you took the time and thoughtful care to write—I wish they could just be still. Is there any way?
i feel your pain. flash ads definitely aren't my favorite thing on the site. unfortunately in order for me to keep up the site and pay for the redesign i have to have an advertising program. most advertisers use flash ads because they're more effective so they seem to be a pretty popular choice.
i'm looking into flash options that are less abrasive and have a lower rotation speed that won't be quite as well, flashy. ;)
I adore the new design – kudos to the team!
hooray for derek and lauren. i'm psyched to see more of their projects on ds, as they are THE coolest. i miss them since they moved out west.
Thanks, Grace! You crack me up. :)
These are beautiful. They really remind me of the work of the artist Joseph Cornell, who made boxes full of objects he found while wandering around NYC.
This is exciting!!
Your new blog design is really fabulous. Love the three dimensional and layered look. And the little bit of lace peaking out is so unexpected. All the elements of really great design. And I will look fprward to your DIY wednesdays. Best of luck with your new site. k
What fantastic resumes these two have! I do not doubt great diy projects will come from them!
Excellent idea, Grace! This is a very do-able and desirable project– I'm looking forward to more! :)

Oceans Away
This is from the same site as the Skyline tut. I used Squirlz to animate, I was just playing around with it and came up with this, I'm sure someone else could improve on it. It was a little tricky because I had to save it six times(6 different selections) to make the flow different with the different water. I'm not too happy with the waters edge, as I couldn't figure out how to do an ebb and flow. I'm sure maybe with more playing, or maybe another save it might look better.
Here it is Sue, it is the second one.
Here is a link that might be useful: Only an Ocean Away
Yes, you started the whole thing with telling me about the instructions for the tut at Vic's. Now I'm hooked! Trying to get it right.
Yes it is possible( to do it better) you are usually up for that kind of challenge, but I remember you said you do not have Squirlz downloaded. There is always the wave effect in AS. C'mon I dare you!
Carol, I really like how your "ocean motion" turned out, but you're right, the water's edge needs to move in and out. Just to see if I could do it I used PSPX and AS using the Morph transition. The image is 252KB so rather than post it here I'm using a link. Whadda' ya think...
What I did was isolate the lower part of the water (from the rocks down) on a layer by itself, duplicate that layer and deform one of them to make it look like the water had ebbed. From these parts (blurred background, upper image, water flowing in, water ebbing out) I created 2 complete image frames, one with the water flowing in (original water) and one with the water ebbing out (deformed water). Took those 2 frames to AS and used the Effects / Insert Image Transition... / Morph to create the inbetween frames.
As this is just a sample I only created 2 transition frames, but to make a smooth ebb and flow sequence I duplicated the 2 trans. frames and reversed them so it goes Flow, Trans1, Trans2, Ebb, Trans2, Trans1.
Now, tell me about this Squirlz you used, I don't think I heard of it. I'm thinking a patchwork from the Squirlz frames and the AS Morph frames would make an awesome animation.
P.S. If you want to really make yourself crazy, add a gentle bobbing motion to the boat. :D
Wow Jill, that is perfect! Going to put these instructions in "Jill's PSP tips" folder.
I'm attaching the link for Squirlz Reflect Program. It is such a great little program, I've had it for over a year and love it. It does most of the work for you. The newest version will save to .gif it used to only save to AVI. Try it you will love it.
Thanks for your help in the ebb and flow.
Here is a link that might be useful: Squirlz Reflect Program
I'm new here, but have been playing around with squirlz reflection program for some time. I have finally figured out how to do what I want to, but I can not get it to save; not in AVI nor in .gif! When I go to save it, it does funky things: locks up the computer, saves it into a file with no data, saves it but I can't retreive it, saves it in a format the program/computer can't read... I'm so frustrated!
I do have one copy saved as AVI, but when I try to open it with the 'open avi' button, a pop-up tells me it can not successfully open that file, but doesn't tell me WHY it can't.
Any of you who are more familiar with the program have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks !
Hi Danielle
I have used the program off and on for about a year. Never had that happen, wish I could be of more help, but believe me I am no computer genius and have no idea what to tell you. I think Sue's suggestion is right on target, let us know how you make out. There is a new version, I had downloaded it for this tut. It used to be you could only save it as an AVI, this one has a save as a gif button right up top on the tool bar

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
Jennifer Chang | 29 Sep 2012 07:14 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, North Korea, South Korea, United States
Imjingak, South Korea - One could say propaganda is ballooning on the Korean Peninsula.
At the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) - the world's most heavily fortified border - North Korean defector Lee Ju-seong organises the launch of six large, helium-filled balloons loaded with "good-will" messages that will float back into the country he escaped from.
Millions of messages are delivered on thousands of balloons this way each year across the DMZ.
The balloons soar from the South deep into the impoverished North, where they crash to the ground, dispersing what some call messages of hope, and others deem propaganda.
While living in North Korea, Lee was inspired by a similar balloon drop with a message that urged him to flee the communist state in 2006.
"When I came to the South and saw how rich it was, I was very angry at the Pyongyang regime and decided to try to bring change to the North through the ballooning campaign," says Lee.
North and South Korea are still technically at war since the 1950-53 Korean War ended in an armistice, rather than a peace treaty. While the South prospers with Asia's fourth-largest economy, North Korea's 25 million people flounder in poverty and hunger.
"One pair of South Korean-made socks could sell on the North's black market for enough corn to feed a North Korean child for two months."
- Lee Ju-seong, North Korean defector
Soaring socks
During a launch on September 15, Lee and his team headed to Imjingak, a DMZ-area tourist park, to float messages ahead of the Chuseok holiday, Korea's Thanksgiving.
"Brothers and sisters: We haven't forgotten about your suffering," read one.
"Until unification, please stay alive. People around the world love you," said another.
Along with the good-will leaflets, the Koreans also sent socks, which are "as necessary as food in North Korea", Lee explains.
He has ballooned good-will leaflets for the past six years. But the socks are a relatively new payload.
"There's a dire shortage of socks in the North's countryside, resulting in frostbite and gangrene in cold weather that can lead to the loss of one or both feet," the defector says. "One pair of South Korean-made socks could sell on the North's black market for enough corn to feed a North Korean child for two months."
North Korean defector Park Sang-hak is one of the founding fathers of the balloon-propaganda movement. He floats leaflets highlighting the regime's abuses - a harsh reality carefully hidden from the isolated public.
Park's group sends an average of five million propaganda leaflets into North Korea every year, along with cash and DVDs.
So effective are his efforts that he's received threats of North Korean military strikes against his launch sites along the DMZ. When that failed to deter Park, Pyongyang reportedly sent a secret agent to kill him.
The spy was caught by South Korean authorities with a poisoned needle at a subway station where he planned to assassinate Park.
The other main player in the balloon movement is Lee Min-bok, who sends pro-Christian leaflets to the North, along with searing anti-regime sentiments. Lee's group also floats over money, small radios, noodles and medicine.
He launches about 1,500 balloons a year, a number he plans to double.
Anti-North Korea leaflets released from balloons [Reuters]
Not all South Koreans support the practice. Opponents say it causes the North's military to open fire on the balloons, which could spark a conflagration, as well as leading to civilian deaths from wayward artillery shells.
The North strikes back
In his late 20s, Kim Jong Un became North Korea's supreme leader in December 2011 after the death of his father, Kim Jong Il. But relations have yet to improve between the South and North under one of the world's youngest leaders.
Some analysts say inter-Korean relations have worsened since his takeover.
It remains to be seen whether ties will improve once South Korea's conservative President Lee Myung-bank - who has taken a hardline approach with Pyongyang - steps down early next year. A new South Korean president will be chosen in a December election.
"The North Koreans have intensified their attacks on Lee Myung-bak's administration under Kim Jong Un," says Scott Snyder, a senior fellow for Korean studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
After a 12-year hiatus, North Korea hit back in the balloon-propaganda war in July, sending 16,000 leaflets into the South. One warned of war on the Korean Peninsula if Seoul overlooked the "big terror" - a possible reference to its sworn enemy the United States.
The two Koreas had agreed to stop psychological warfare against each other at a landmark meeting in 2000. Seoul banned the balloon launches, but rescinded after a March 2010 torpedo attack on a South Korean warship killed 46 sailors.
"The US and the South Korean regime are vicious bellicose forces disturbing peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and bringing the danger of a nuclear war."
- Korean Central News Agency
Pyongyang's main propaganda weapon is the state-run Korean Central News Agency, which pulls no punches in its colourfully worded reportage.
A September 24 article, for example, blasted the "South Korean puppet brass hats and their American masters" over joint military exercises.
"The US and the South Korean regime are vicious bellicose forces disturbing peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and bringing the danger of a nuclear war," KCNA reported.
From air to airwaves
Both countries have in the past set up large speaker systems along the DMZ to blare messages at each other. The North threatened to attack the speakers with artillery after the South set up dozens in 2010.
Radio waves are also employed in the game of psychological warfare. Two independent stations in South Korea - Open Radio North Korea and Radio Free North Korea - target North Korean listeners.
The stations say paid informants inside the communist country communicate "news" using Chinese-made mobile phones that is later broadcast.
"Run on shoestring budgets by North Korean defectors and South Korean and Japanese activists, these groups walk a line between journalism and advocacy," writes Robert Boynton in The Atlantic magazine.
Owning a radio in North Korea is an offence punishable by death.
Conversely, South Korea blocks access to North Korean broadcasts and websites. Long jail terms can be imposed under its harsh National Security Law for possessing pro-North Korean material.
South Korea's supreme court upheld a two-year sentence for a woman convicted of possessing music with titles that praised the North Korean regime in November 2010. It ruled the songs contained "enemy-benefiting" expressions that threatened the country's security.

Dear Reps. Coble and Scott:
On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union's nearly 400,000 members, we write to explain our opposition to H.R. 3179, the ""Anti-Terrorism Intelligence Tools Improvement Act of 2003.""
While we welcome Chairman Sensenbrenner's decision to delay consideration of this bill until legislative hearings can be held in the Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security Subcommittee, we remain concerned that without substantial modifications, H.R. 3179 could have a serious impact on the civil liberties and privacy rights of ordinary people.
H.R. 3179 enhances the government's secret power to obtain personal records without judicial review, limits judicial discretion over the use of secret evidence in criminal cases, eliminates important foreign intelligence wiretapping safeguards, and allows the use of secret intelligence wiretaps in immigration cases without notice or an opportunity to suppress illegally-acquired evidence.
If passed without substantial modifications, the bill would be a major and unwarranted expansion of the government's secret surveillance powers under the USA PATRIOT Act and would have a detrimental impact on the ability of the federal courts to oversee government powers. H.R. 3179:
Six weeks after September 11, 2001, the Congress passed the complex and highly controversial USA PATRIOT Act without holding any public hearings at which organizations from across the political spectrum could explain their concerns about the Act. Many members of Congress, noting public anxiety about the erosion of basic civil liberties, have urged searching review and oversight of the law.
Instead of engaging in such oversight, the House Judiciary Committee is pressing forward with expanding the USA PATRIOT Act. While we welcome the decision to hold a legislative hearing on H.R. 3179, we still urge you to defer consideration of H.R. 3179 until the House judiciary and intelligence committees have undertaken comprehensive oversight of existing USA PATRIOT Act powers.

[1] The new, much longer, list of ""financial"" institutions - which can be expanded at the discretion of the Treasury Secretary - was enacted without hearings or debate as section 374 of the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY2004, Pub. L. 108-177 (amending 12 U.S.C. § 3414).
[2] The Joint Inquiry found that the government could have obtained a warrant to search Moussaoui based on his connection with a Chechen rebel group, which was plainly a ""foreign power"" under FISA, and that the efforts of FBI investigators to connect the Chechen rebels to Al Qaeda was based on a mistaken belief that FISA required a connection to a ""recognized foreign power,"" which is not the case. The Joint Inquiry also faulted the FBI for failing to revisit the idea of seeking an ordinary criminal search warrant. Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, Report of the U.S. Senate Select Comm. on Intelligence and the U.S. House Permanent Select Comm. on Intelligence 321-323 (December 2002).
In a February 2003 report on FISA oversight, Senators Leahy, Grassley and Specter noted, with respect to this proposed change, that the Department of Justice was unable to provide even a single case, even in a classified setting, that explained why new wiretapping power was needed. As the report states, ""In short, DOJ sought more power but was either unwilling or unable to provide an example as to why.""
[3] See In re Sealed Case No. 02-001, slip op. at 42 (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Ct. of Rev. Nov. 18, 2002). The ACLU, which argued that Fourth Amendment challenge to FISA as amended by section 218 of the Patriot Act, does not believe the case is correctly decided insofar as it upheld FISA surveillance even if the ""primary purpose"" of the surveillance was criminal investigation, but agrees that the ""foreign power"" standard is a crucial limitation on national security surveillance.

What more can be said about The Hacienda (and Factory Records) that hasn't already been written? Well, pretty much nothing, so why not leave it up to the music to do the talking for once...and then some. This album sums up everything that was great about dance music back in the day and ebues the euphoric feelings created by this music and some other extra-curricular activities that made "Newsweek" magazine vote The Hacienda "Most Important Cultural Space 1990". The legends are many, the myths just as plentiful, but when it all came down to it, it was the magic of Messrs Park, Pickering, Haslam et al that really gave The Hacienda it's fame. The first club to really cotton on to the new and exciting sounds coming out of Chicago and Detroit back in 1986, The Hacienda was at the forefront of the house revolutuion. Funky beats, accompanied by equally funky piano breaks, this was truly groundbreaking. I only experienced FAC 51 in it's death throes in 1997 but studied it at length for my History dissertation at University interviewing over 200 people. My ex-girlfriend and many of her friends were there in it's hey-day and all of them to a man talk about The Hac with a passion and fondness that's rare in this day and age. I own many DJ mixes live from The Hac and so this was just an addition to my Manchester collection. However, I implore you to check this out whether a newcomer to the dawn of house music or whether you're a seasoned collector...hey it's worth it for the case and sleeve notes alone! If you are new (which surely, can't be many of you) then you will find a treat in store. All I can do is quote from a well known film about Manchester "This is where it starts. You notice, they're not applauding a band, but the medium. The DJ and music. This is the beatification of the beat. This is where even the white man starts dancing. Welcome to Manchester!!!"

Hey Tiny-dancer... my name is Luke Cullimore.
This might seem strange, but I am going to be writting my dissertation on a similar topic, I will be writting about the nostalgia that surrounds the hacienda.... However, I have been having difficulty finding some primary sources. This may seem very forward, but do you still have any of the interview transcripts? I would love to see them and possibly use them in my dissertation. From one history student to another, I would really appreciate the help.
If not I still want to thankyou for your help as I will be using your review as a source in my dissertation.. so I already owe you one.
My email is email@example.com
Hope you can get back to me. t
Thanks all the best.

"We had been looking for invitations that had an old tree on it and a antique style. When we saw this one, we knew it was perfect. We used 'azaela' as our color, but I didn't want it to be too bright a hue. Fortunately when we received these in the mail, the colors were exactly the way I wanted them. The print looked just like it did in the digital proof and the paper had this old yet thick texture which was so great. My fiancé and I were 100% ecstatic about how these turned out. We loved them!"
"I was able to customize our enclosure card to include not only our Ceremony and Reception information but also our Accommodation information such as which hotel we blocked rooms at for our guests. We were also able to squeeze in our Registry information. It was nice to be able to utilize both sides of the card to save money but to also have all the information for our guests conveniently on one card."
"I loved this design from the beginning. It was perfect for our wedding theme; it has a nautical nod, which is what I was looking for. I was so excited for it to come and was even more impressed with it's timely arrival. These invitations, rsvp cards and enclosure cards exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with the final result. Worth every penny!"
"These invitations are beautiful. The paper weight is very nice and feels very expensive. The print is very pretty and I was very happy with my purchase. I ordered the gold lined inner envelope with the invites. They look so much more expensive than they really are."
"I had these invitations personalized and a few additional lines added to the top. They sent me a proof quickly and it was just what we wanted. The turn around was quick and the invitations were perfect! Amazing quality and honestly better than I thought. I initially had chosen a cheaper card but after reading reviews for this one, I switched. I'm so happy that I did. Very classy and elegant card, arrived sooner than they had initially projected. Perfect for my gold and black wedding!"

|Finger Cracks/Hep B
Dec 6, 2001
Dear Dr. Dieterich,
I had very minor surface skin cracking on my finger (from dry skin/weather)which was 24 hours old and I had put Neosporin on it as well. The cracks NEVER hurt or appeared to be deep at all and only visible when I pulled the skin on my fingers tight. Otherwise the cracks are not really noticeable. If I did mutual masterbation with a man and got an extremely small drop of precum on these day old cracks would I be at risk for Hep B? Would you recommend an Immune Globlin Shot immediately as it has only been 5 days? Please advise.
Thank you.
| Response from Dr. Dieterich
This is a very low risk exposure. However you should get vaccinated for hepatitis B and you can start that right now while you are thinking about it. DTD

A head made for poking
It starts with the head. The simulated head of a Labrador, that is.
It's SimPooch, designed to let canine acupuncturists at Colorado State University's College of Veterinary Medicine appreciate the differences in sensation when the needles enter various tissue layers. Dr. Narda Robinson, director of the CSU Center for Comparative and Integrative Pain Medicine, collaborated with the school's Engineering department to design it. They're now hard at work on virtual reality software that will let students feel the pressure of inserting needles with a pen-like device with or without the use of the head. Dr. Robinson says SimPooch is just part of her larger research into producing evidence, "not talk of invisible energy," to support the study of acupuncture. She also hopes projects like SimPooch will lessen the demand for animals used in teaching labs at universities.
"Once people get to the real dog, they'll be much more practiced, not just novices," she says.
The project has been a win-win for the two departments, according to Dr. Robinson. The veterinarians love going to the Engineering department, where "nothing's dying and we don't have the worry of what to do or whether a client can afford a procedure," she says. The engineers love seeing the acupuncture in action when the veterinarians visit them with animals to film for the project.
The compassionate, animal-focused project also helps the Engineering department recruit a type of student that veterinary schools don't have trouble getting these days: women.

It's 1983 in Berkeley, California. Twenty-year-old Allie Dodgson is a straitlaced college student working part-time at a dress shop to make ends meet. But when the shop turns out to be a front for a dangerous drug-dealing business, Allie finds herself on the lam, speeding toward Los Angeles in her best friend's Prelude with a Wonder Bread bag full of cocaine riding shotgun and a hit man named Vice Versa on her tail. You can't find a more thrilling summer read!

Critical Praise
"Raunchy, poignant, and triumphant in turn--and sometimes manages to be all three at the same time." —
Blau's madcap chase through 1980s L.A. is over-the-top and...a liberal dose of dark humor and an oddly heart-warming ending add to the twisted ride. —
"A fun read! Even before the buzzard hits the windshield, THE WONDER BREAD SUMMER will make you feel better about your worst summer vacation." —
"A rollicking, irreverent, sweep of a novel. Blau has written another shining, no-holds barred California heart breaker." —
"Jessica Anya Blau has taken the story of a young woman's search for self and rendered it into a hilarious, cocaine-fueled thrill-ride. From its Tarantino-esque opening scene to its twisty final pages, THE WONDER BREAD SUMMER is an unrelenting delight." —
"It's hard to recall a debut as warm, charming and comically satisfying as The Summer of Naked Swim Parties . . . Blau conveys Jamie's world with compelling insight and wit . . . [Blau's] sharp observation and affectionate humor [give] surprising depth to this shimmering novel." —
"This book will make you laugh and cry in public. Jessica Anya Blau has written a soaring teenage lament, perfectly pitched, containing the single saddest and funniest line of seduction ever uttered." —
"A book by Blau would be disappointing without pot smoking, hilarious and sometimes grungy sex, and bickering relatives." —
"Jessica Anya Blau returns with all the comedic powers of a master trickster." —
"Often hilarious and lewd, and also sincere and moving, like the naughty Southern Californian soul mate of Nick Hornby." —
"Blau has crafted a totally uniqu coming of age story, wrapped in a road trip, with a drug caper center. It's a wild, exuberant novel, full of humor, heart, and a solid dose of bad behavior. I loved it." —
"No one writes like Jessica Anya Blau. Funny, tender, and outrageous." —
"Jessica Anya blau has the gift of creating people we feel and know as familiar, and then showing us how much we don't know them at all." —
"This novel is addictive! I was hooked the moment straight-arrow Allie steals a bread bag full of blow...You won't be able to look away." —
"Jessica Anya Blau's The Wonder Bread Summer is a lightning strike of a novel, sexy and dangerous and aglow with adventure. Allie is a tenacious and deliciously complicated heroine, and it's impossible to resist the ride she takes you on." —
"This is as fast, fun, and outrageous a book as I've read in a long time. But beneath all the antics is a poignant story about racial identity, fathers and daughters, and coming of age in one totally messed-up decade." —
"In The Wonder Bread Summer, Jessica Anya Blau sends us tumblin down a rabbit hole of youthful mistakes and heartache, alongside the unsinkable Allie Dodgson. Coming of age has never been so wickedly thrilling." —
"The Wonder Bread Summer is the best ever! It even made me a little jealous and that doesn't happen often." —
"Picaresque, properly funny, unpredictable and altogether irrepressible...[Blau] reminds me of [Charles] Portis in a lot of ways . . . [S]he has a steady nerve, as well as a wicked imagination, and she takes her craft seriously... Top-notch comic writing." —

Has a Nobel Prize ever been awarded before for an achievement that was specifically software-based?
i don't know, but I have met Martin at a few meetings over the years and his code(s) (CHARMM etc) really did change the way things were done. Bear in mind the classical physics hasn't changed in 150 years but the quantum mechanics was a relatively new 50 years old!!!
And being software, ANYONE can use it....!
Well not since I hacked their computers to grant the peace prize to Obama.
"One day, computers may be able to simulate exactly how enzymes, ion channels, viruses, DNA and other complex biological molecules react with each other inside a cell. "
An exact solution to a system of non-linear equations with no closed form solutions. You can optimize the functions but there is no way, except empirically, to verify them. And then your solution may be very fragile, if boundary values change your solution may no longer work. The are not even solutions but approximations.
BTW, I did a project in Groundwater Modeling. Chemical Modeling is even more complex.
While true, it should be stated that the problems are a bit different. In quantum chemistry we are trying to solve the Schrödinger equation which we know, the problem lies in describing certain terms (many electron interactions) and then the approximations made to make the calculation time still reasonable. The bigger the system, the more compromises must be made, but there is an idea of what information we lose: upper bounds, lower bounds etc.

Tommy Rees started for Notre Dame at quarterback for the first time all season after Everett Golson was benched for a violation of team rules.
Irish Illustrated reported that "Golson's team rule violation pertains to attendance at team meetings, or a lack thereof."
The benching was relatively insignificant as Golson quarterbacked the Irish for the offense's second series of the game against Miami after Rees led the offense to a three-and-out in their first series.
Golson, a sophomore from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has been replaced by Rees in two games this season. NRees led the team to victory in the fourth quarter against Purdue, and he came in to the Michigan game in the second quarter to lead the Irish to victory.
The measure of discipline seemed to be nothing more than a reminder to Golson to follow the rules.

It was 2003 and Ashanti was riding high off of the success from her debut self-titled album, Ashanti. We here at ESSENCE were gearing up for our annual ESSENCE Festival and wanted to put together an all-star line up to honor one of music's best vocalists, Luther Vandross. To tribute the "Never Too Much" singer, we invited newcomers to join seasoned artists. Ashanti graced the stage with Usher, Patti LaBelle, Faith Evans, Gerald Levert, Ron Isley and Kelly Price. To say the tribute was amazing would be an understatement.

Wow, that's a lot of colour! I take it the saturation is pumped up a lot? It looks superb. I really like your landscaping, it is simply gorgeous with all those colours. I was waiting for this build for a while after the WIPs, and it was well worth it! The fairy is fantastic, what an evil spell. The castle looks brilliant, just the right level of detail. I am looking forward to the interior shots. Great build!

Does Cambria Quartz have to have extra support under it?
marti8aAugust 25, 2012
At Lowes, the standard size is 2cm for quartz and 3cm is special order. He said they sell mostly 2cm. Does that require plywood under it? What about the 3cm?
Why the switch? Dh talked to someone who raved about Cambria, and he saw theirs. It was Cambria Buckingham. I still like the look of granite better, but the fabricator did tell me that they are able to get a tighter seam with quartz.
That's right, I had. The fabricator dh talked to said that he has some that compare to the lower grade of granite I picked. I'm afraid it's the kind of quartz that looks like a polished aggregate patio. But it's the first interest dh has shown in looking for counters, so I'm letting him run with it.

Every year, we showcase 12 amazing alumni in the HugABull calendar. Working with a fabulous team of photographers, designers, and sponsors, we are proud to create a stunning piece of pittie pride every year. It also happens to be one of our most successful fundraisers!
We will be partnering with Tisol Pet Nutrition and Supply stores this year - calendars will be for sale in all their branches! We are excited to be working with a great local company that will provide us with additional exposure and sales.
For maximum fundraising impact, we are opening sponsorship opportunities to our community members. For your donation of $25 or $50, your pet's "headshot" will be placed in the bottom section of our calendar. All proceeds from headshot sales cover our printing and shipping expenses, so that 100% of sale proceeds can benefit the dogs in our program. These donations are tax-receiptable as well!
Want to see your bullie shine with the others? Here's how it works:
1. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to reserve a spot. Indicate the size of headshot you want, and your pet's name.
2. Send the photo to firstname.lastname@example.com. High resolution photos are ideal (at least 1MB in size). Close-up photos of the pet's face work best for the space available.
2. Provide payment. Use the link below to pay by credit card/PayPal, or send an email money transfer to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you wish to pay by cash or cheque, send us an email and we can provide drop-off options.
Payment and photo must be received by Saturday, August 30 to secure your space in the calendar. We look forward to another year of gorgeous close-ups!
