Eventually we settled on printing and debossing, as per the Great Ideas series [Why I Write shown, above], with the difference being that the title and author name were then blocked out using matt black foil. This had the effect of partially flattening the debossed letters, leaving just enough of a dent for the title to be determined – though I can't vouch for it's success on Amazon."Orwell, covered up (Thanks, Matthew!)

Robert Harrison says:
Relative to my personal tastes it looks like complete ass
pickledbeatnik says:
Complete ass? It mocks SOPA in a brilliant way, how is it complete ass? Also, I don't think your opinion really holds up if that's all you have to say.
Robert Harrison says:
I did say "relative to my tastes". And to be honest, my tastes are a bit low brow. I like stuff that "looks pretty".
crnk says:
Sorry but I don't see any bit of relation to SOPA… If black bars across a visual object is a mockery of SOPA I think your standards are abysmally low. Yes it is a commentary on censorship (but artistically I find it lacking in creativity while boring and predictable…execution is the only mildly redeeming quality) but I think SOPA is a huge stretch. I find the internet 'blackouts' more creative anyway…sites retained branding while making a statement.
Mark_Frauenfelder says:
You mean you don't like the look of ass? WTF is wrong with you?
niktemadur says:
Like a guy I knew twenty years ago, he hated "sex lies and videotape" because there wasn't a single exposed tit in the whole movie.
robuluz says:
Its because we can't read tone. He's actually saying it sexily with a little silent "Meowww!" at the end.
Smash Martian says:
New edition? There has only ever been this edition.
Jeremy Hughes says:
Reminds me of the cover of Bowie's new album. In the zeitgeist…
Ladyfingers says:
Penguin's cover art strategy is genius. Almost no designer fees, and gives readers an easy way to show off how clever they are in the café from right across the street.

Oh! A tablet that displays the book's cover on its back!
Ian Wood says:
Speaking of █████ ██████, I am particularly impressed with ██████. Almost smug, in fact.

These are nice options, too.
Donald Petersen says:
I love it. If left in charge, I might have also blacked out the Penguin's eyes, a la Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. But that's why I'm never left in charge.
Timothy Krause says:
Why not just go all the way?
niktemadur says:
…and replace the guy on the bottom with this one?
chris jimson says:
You should see their cover for "Fahrenheit 451″– it's HOT!
Izzy Jaecks says:
16 years ago I had the chance to buy a special edition F 451 that was bound in an asbestos cover….
Gerel Gruber says:
Why print obliteration at all especially for a book with words and stuff? Makes no sense to me. AND yes I have read this book several times thank you.
chgoliz says:
You might like to read the book. In fact, you probably should.
Ben Burger says:
I think it's pretty bad. I can hardly make out the writting (I know that's the point) To me it looks more like a history of penguin publishing.
sam1148 says:
There was a limited edition of Fahrenheit 451. 200 Signed. Bounded with an asbestos cover. Also a similar binding for Steven King's Firestarter. Limited edition.

See also the Zero Dark Thirty poster and new trailer.
numpty says:
However, in Zero Dark Thirty's case, they may just have scribbled over the posters in embarrassment. On a par with Titanic for being a true story you already knew that really didn't merit a Hollywood version.
hacky says:
The photo is a neat test for correct laptop screen angle.
Jean Baptiste says:
I bet we'll be finding copies of this stinkbomb in various book store discount racks for years to come…

I like it but I wish they had made it more obvious who the publisher was.
Donald Petersen says:
Good point. They could have been quite a bit subtler about that.
Dove Tail says:
I'm a bit concerned about the designer's grasp of the English language though.
Kang Dian says:
Here's the one showing the title… http://chipkidd.com/journal/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/1-book-covers-George-Orwell-1984.jpg
orwell says:
since most, if any, will be purchasing this hard bound version online, i think the effort put into deboss, matte foil, etc., is pretty much lost. don't think they gave alot of thought to how it would communicate "on shelf." (meaning, online in today's virtual bookstore world) and seriously, how many iterations did they go through to get this version? doesn't seem very "1984," to me, but what do i know…
SamSam says:
But even after they buy it online, they still have it, debossed, matte foil and all…. right? Unless you are saying that most people will be buying it for ereaders, in which case you're wrong because ebooks are still well under a third of the book market.
UncaScrooge says:
This cover is doubleplusgood, but I can't wait to spend a dark eternity on the moon after absorbing their new design for Brave New World.
Robert Sinclair says:
I actually think this would have been a much more brilliant cover design for Animal Farm.
"Some are more equal than others."
Dean Kielpinski says:
The idea is great but execution fails, without other text there's no clue anything's been redacted, and if you don't know about redacting it's just some black boxes on the cover.
Antinous / Moderator says:
It's hard to tell from the photo, but you can read the title and author under the black boxes.

Off the Map
J. K. Simmons, Amy Brenneman, Joan Allen, Valentina de Angelis, Sam Elliott
Directed by Campbell Scott
The funny and heartbreaking Off the Map, directed with a poet's eye and a keen ear for nuance by Campbell Scott, resonates with something rare in today's movies: simplicity. It respects the New Mexico desert setting where Charley (Sam Elliott), his wife, Arlene (Joan Allen), and their eleven-year-old daughter, Bo (Valentina de Angelis, a genuine find), have decided to make their home away from modern conveniences like electricity and running water. And the deft script, which Joan Ackermann adapted from her play, never exploits Charley's untreated depression, Arlene's earth-mother tendency to garden in the nude or Bo's frustration about a life without friends. The entrance of an IRS man (the excellent Jim True-Frost) into this fragile Garden of Eden allows Scott to observe changes, subtle and seismic, in this maverick family. Allen and Elliott perform acting miracles in a quietly devastating spellbinder that sneaks up and knocks you flat.

A data center cooler failure has contributed to a data loss for Contacts by Ovi, a beta service that's part of Nokia's Ovi personal portal. The outage led to the loss of all contacts and photos stored on the service (previously known as Nokia Chat) since Jan. 23, the company said [1].
"A cooler broke down in the hosting center that we run the Chat service in," explained Kristian Luoma, product manager for Contacts on Ovi. "This event lead in to two catastrophic consequences from our point of view. Firstly we had to ramp down the service down for a very long period, in fact most of the yesterday morning and afternoon we had a service break. Secondly, our database broke down. Despite the fact that we had regular back-ups, we were not able to set it right."
Ovi [2]is similar to Apple's MobileMe, which experienced repeated problems [3]during and after its launch. Contacts by Ovi was a beta service, but is coming under some scrutiny for its backup practices (or lack thereof). See additional coverage at The Register [4] and SlashGear [5].

Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I would have finished high school.

Middle-class women who entertain the hope or fancy of being something in the world, lose Nature's happiness and miss Society's. They are the most unfortunate creatures I have known.
Nicolas Chamfort
The welfare state disempowered working class people people by taking away their ability to self-organise, by taking away their ability to work with each other. It atomised working class communities and also prevented innovation and aspiration for those at the bottom.

There is nothing to which men cling more tenaciously than the privileges of class.

a few philosophers really do important work. This applies to the so called critical philosophy and to the theory of knowledge or epistemology. This class of workers I call epistemologists to avoid the disagreeable implications of the term philosopher.

Some of the dialogue online reaches levels of sophistication you'd never hear in class.
Greg Hodgson
There is one class of men who from time to time have taken a keen and practical interest in the constitution of the Family, and they are the Statesmen. They have realized how intimately the welfare of the State depends upon the influence and nature of the Families from which it is constituted; and they have endeavoured that the State in turn should mould and influence the Family to its own purposes.

The old notion that children are the private property of parents dies very slowly. In reality, no parent raises a child alone. How many of us nice middle-class folk could make it without our mortgage reduction?
Marian Wright Edelman
The folk thing was about civil rights... ... Folk music is the music of the working class, the music of the folks. Blues is folk music.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
Frederick Douglass
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
John Madden
The human story does not always unfold like a mathematical calculation on the principle that two and two make four. Sometimes in life they make five or minus three; and sometimes the blackboard topples down in the middle of the sum and leaves the class in disorder and the pedagogue with a black eye.
Winston Churchill
I know no class of my fellowmen, however just, enlightened, and humane, which can be wisely and safely trusted absolutely with the liberties of any other class

Medic Alert Feedback and What Can We Do?
Since my dLife article hit the page I have been getting e-mail after e-mail about people who have had their medic alert jewelry completely ignored, or reports of their loved ones being put in harms way due to their information being ignored, even when very clearly displayed.
It scares the crap out of me.
How can we protect ourselves? How can we be sure that we won't be put in harms way by the very people we are depending on to save us?
We have a lot of scenarios to think about.
1) We are unconscious – in this case I don't know what more we can do besides wear our medic alert type jewelry or tattoo, and pray that we'll be able to communicate when we wake up.
2) We are pulled over while driving – This is what happened to the poor chap I wrote about (video from CNN). In his case his medic alert jewelry was not visible, which is a very likely situation for many of us (I wear my own necklace under my shirt, just like he did). To help this I ordered some stickers (from D.A.D. Innovations) and applied them to a couple strategic places on my car (remember that your driver side front window may very well be rolled down to speak with the officer right?).
We have a tough problem to solve here. There is a real conflict between our right to privacy and our possible need to let the world know we are diabetic when we're unable to communicate for ourselves.
I'm sure there are many of you reading that would be quite uncomfortable putting stickers on your car, or wearing medic alert jewelry, broadcasting to anyone who can read that you are diabetic. It is a very valid concern for those that don't wish to be identified!
I guess I'd rather be identified at a glance than be blasted with a taser gun (or worse…). But that's just me, and I'm pretty "out there" with my diabetes anyway.
How can we protect ourselves?
This is a real problem that could make anyone who solves it both a hero and an instant millionaire.

deanusa says:
sigh.scott when i was younger i was found unconsious by my mother who called the police who sent paramedics and then proceed to tell her that i was just drunk and passed out.needless to say she kinda went nuts on them until they did something.
in my mid twenties i went "out" at work and was wearing a bracelet which they never looked at.it took my boss and another
fellow diabetic to convince them that i just needed some of the good stuff!!
other times they were perfect
i dont think there is a easy answer.luck,skill,happenstance,knowledge,awareness who knows. -
rainbow_goddess says:
I don't have any problem letting others know I have diabetes, nor do I have a problem wearing Medic-Alert jewelry. My only problem is AFFORDING the jewelry. My bracelet broke months ago and I haven't been able to afford to replace it.
Jo Clutterbuck says:
check out these guys, they make great bands that are cheap enough to buy in bulk and you can wear them in the water. -
Jill says:
I got this from another blogger and I bookmarked it for future reference! I'm really thinking about ordering Kacey one or even making one myself with some velcro !

Rachel says:
Wow, that is very scary! Tristan has a bracelet but if we were in an accident, would they even think of checking him for a bracelet?
I hope that when Tristan is older, he will advertise that he is diabetic so that emergency personal will not have a problem knowing that he could possible need medical assistance. But I can also understand the need for privacy.
I was actually aware of this problem after I read the story about the former Mr. Universe and a diabetic episode…http://www.diabeteshealth.com/read/2008/12/17/5081/mr–universe-assaulted-by-police-during-low-blood-sugar-episode/
Hopefully, somebody will come up with a great idea to make these situations disappear! -
Tim McClintock says:
Scott, see this discussion about "ICE" numbers in our cell phones I started here:
It's one small thing we can do to potentially help with the unconscious issue. -
Sara says:
I had never see the seatbelt tag that Jill linked. That looks like a good idea. They are pretty cheap too. I am ordering one now.
Thomas Donald says:
approx 18 mnths ago i was arrested by two of scotlands finest police (nazi) officers on leaving my local bar which is less than 100 mtrs from my flat .their reason (excuse) was that i was drunk and incapable.i had only nipped out to my local in my slippers for 2 or 3 beers and on my way back home i was arrested less than 50 mtrs from my home.iwas taken to a police station almost 12 km away instead of a local station.i tried to explain that i was diabetic and was way overdue my medication and that would explain why i was so unsteady on my feet while walking home from my local bar and was in no way drunk and incapable as the 2 policemen had claimed.all this fell on deaf ears and i was locked in a cell overnight and released early next morning, wearing only a short sleeved shirt and carpet slippers i had to get 2 buses to travel the 12 km home. THIS IS 1 OF MANY REASONS WHY THE PUBLIC HAVE SUCH A DEEP MISTRUST OF POLICE.

Out of the Rough: DNA Test Proves Tiger Woods NOT Devon James' Baby Daddy!
by Hilton Hater at .Tiger Woods may have stuck his driver in one too many open bags (if you know what we mean!) - but new evidence proves these extra practice rounds did NOT lead to the one result for which a golfer can never take a mulligan:
A baby.
Over the last couple weeks, Devon James - mistress number... who the heck knows at this point?!? - has claimed to anyone with a microphone that Tiger is the father of her nine-year old son.
She stuck by this statement even after sources confirmed the existence of a DNA test that disproved Woods' paternity. Now, that test has actually been made public.
Giving credit to Kikster.com for breaking the news, TMZ has in its possession documents that say Devon was made aware in 2002 that her son is the child of some dude named Pele Watkins.
If there was ever a reason for a fist pump...
In fact, according to science, there's a .001% chance that anyone other than Watkins is the dad. So you can breathe a major sigh of relief, Tiger.
To understand how low those odds are, consider: they are the same as Elin ever taking you back.

All the mis information is in the name of destroying his future mainly so that even if he has been such a hit with golf everything is destroyed by his straying from his wife which could have been a mistake now it is a deadly sin, there is no man alive who has been as dirty as Tiger he should be castrasted etc, there is no forgiveness in this world. As for Elin i feel sorry for you i hope God helps you to rise above this , keep you focused on your family and your own good because i think even if you decided to fall after someone else you will still continue to live a life of hell. Nothing lasts forever they will soon find someone elses life to ruin
I live in her hometown. She is a total fraud. Been convicted on drugs and prostituition charges. Doesn't have custody of her kids and won't pay child support. Also arrested for fraudulently using her parents credit cards. Her husband/boyfriend by no surprise is the scum of the earth.
Please don't give this piece of trash anymore free PR.

Summer at C Lazy U Dude Ranch
It's 6 am and it's rush hour – C Lazy U style. There are no cars, traffic jams or exhaust fumes, just horses coming in from the pasture to start their day on the ranch. It's an amazing sight: a thunderous parade of horses lead by skillful wranglers who corral the horses and saddle them for another day of horseback riding vacations.For guests, the day starts with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Families sit down for a hearty breakfast together to prepare for an exhilarating day of outdoor activities. Breakfast includes ranch specialties with a western twist, including pancakes, trout, eggs, sausage, and hash browns. Once fortified, the kids head out to enjoy a complete, camp-style agenda filled with adventure and discovery.
The counselors group children by age for journeys guaranteed to keep them wide-eyed and laughing. All activities are magical and educational: horseback riding, treasure hunts, games and more. The exuberance of our kids' counselors is contagious. Their ceaseless energy and unlimited imagination keeps the kids busy from sun up to sundown. Even naps for the little ones are supervised…so parents can truly relax on their own dude ranch vacations. Adults can take off on horseback knowing the kids are safe and fully-occupied, or relax in the hot tub, take a tennis lesson, or simply unwind.
In the evening, adults enjoy a pleasant and leisurely dinner, while teens and kids have their own special dinner with their counselors. Then families reunite to catch up on the events of the day or sing around the open fire. Families grow closer. Enduring friendships are formed with other guests from around the world. Lifetime memories are made. Each day is a perfect balance of family time, adventure, socializing and relaxation…creating truly perfect Colorado family vacations for everyone!

From eating Reese's Pieces to pulling guns out
For that Little Caesar's Pizza
from Game – Blood of Christ Lyrics on Rap Genius
Shows just how fast the youth and their innocence is shattered by the introduction of violence growing up in tha hood. They are drawn to that type of lifestyle in part by the media and the people who influence them most or the lack of one, i.e. a father figure. .
The harsh reality is that many of them have no choice. They have to do what they have to do in order to survive. .
For poor kids living in the ghetto, Little Caesar's is the best and most affordable way to feed they fam until they make it (only $5 for a pepperoni or cheese pizza!). They need to resort to pulling guns out to sustain their family and by extension community. .
This line plays on that pizza is a favorite for many children so it serves as an incentive for doing the things they do. The metaphor is comparing that to an adults material pursuits of wealth and power. They will attain that by the same means as chasing the pizza. .

In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system representation subject to constraints associated with concepts of causality, memory and stationarity; methods of system representation with an accuracy that is the best within a given class of models; methods of covariance matrix estimation;methods for low-rank matrix approximations; hybrid methods based on a combination of iterative procedures and best operator approximation; and
methods for information compression and filtering under condition that a filter model should satisfy restrictions associated with causality and different types of memory.
As a result, the book represents a blend of new methods in general computational analysis,
and specific, but also generic, techniques for study of systems theory ant its particular
branches, such as optimal filtering and information compression.
- Best operator approximation,
- Non-Lagrange interpolation,
- Generic Karhunen-Loeve transform
- Generalised low-rank matrix approximation
- Optimal data compression
- Optimal nonlinear filtering less

Grazie Mille, Firenze!
... got ready, met up with everyone in the lobby, and ordered our taxi cabs.
We got dropped off around the corner from the restaurant, and right when I saw it, I noticed a mob of people waiting to get in. Always a good sign! Luckily, since we had our reservations, we didn't have to wait for a table. We sat down and the first thing I noticed was that we weren't provided menus. The waiter simply asked us what we wanted: antipasti, wine, pasta, ...

There were also a couple of Accordion players who played for a few minutes and then came around with their hand out. I told one of them "I'm occupied" as I was in the process of putting food in my mouth at the time, and I was quite annoyed at being interrupted.

Vast humanitarian crisis in Sudan – again
Hillary Rodham Clinton's brief visit to South Sudan provided an opportunity for the United States to show leadership in countering a vast humanitarian crisis in the border region between Sudan and South Sudan. Once again, the world is looking away.
(Page 2 of 2)
The constant targeting of arable fields has disrupted two agricultural cycles, leaving people without food. The failure of this spring's planting ensures that there will be no new food in the fall, and malnutrition indicators – where they can be registered – are already terrifyingly high. As they did in Darfur, Khartoum's regular and militia forces have torched and destroyed the villages and food-stores of the African Nuba people who live in this border region.
Skip to next paragraphWhy does Khartoum persist with this cruel counter-insurgency strategy in confronting the banned rebel movement in Sudan, called the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army-North? Because it's cheap, and within the Nuba Mountains the rebels are trouncing Khartoum's military forces. I know from my own time in the area just how determined the Nuba people are: Having faced a jihad extermination in the 1990s, they are not about to acquiesce before Khartoum's present aggression.
Khartoum also persists because to date it has paid no price for its aerial assaults – or its equally barbarous denial of all humanitarian access to civilians in rebel-controlled regions. Indeed, even when Khartoum deliberately bombed refugee camps in November 2011, international response was barely more than perfunctory. Humanitarian access continues to be completely denied, compelling more people to flee.
Sudan's long-suffering people have begun their own "Arab Spring," and we must hope that they succeed in their announced goal of regime change. But given the urgency of the vast humanitarian crisis that is growing at terrifying speed, the international community cannot wait on the sidelines. Tens of thousands of people have died or will die soon; the question is whether the world will act decisively in confronting Khartoum before the number grows to hundreds of thousands.
The UN or a multilateral alliance must be prepared to open humanitarian air and ground corridors to Blue Nile and South Kordofan on an urgent basis. If necessary, armed protection for humanitarian relief efforts should be provided.
International moral and political leadership, as well as a commitment to provide the necessary protective military resources, are of the essence, given the many challenges of such a large and difficult operation. Today's visit by US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's to Juba, the capital of South Sudan, provided a prominent opportunity for the United States to show leadership that has been sadly lacking during the current crises.
More broadly, the UN "responsibility to protect" is a doctrine that has been widely touted by a range of international actors; now is the time to see whether doctrine and reality have anything to do with one another.
Eric Reeves, a professor at Smith College, has published extensively on Sudan, nationally and internationally, for more than a decade.

How to Deal With His Random Mood Swings
Edited by KnowItSome, Flickety, Foxglove, Adam and 9 others
You're hanging out with your partner and cuddling when suddenly he gets up and leaves. You don't know why but it seems as if something you did made him go. When you ask him about it later, he says it has nothing to do with you. So how do you deal with him when he ignores you?
1Ask him what's wrong. This should always be your first response. If he tells you, then he's willing to be open and allow you to help him with whatever is bothering him. If he doesn't say and tells you it has nothing to do with you, try not to get offended. Creating more drama will not help him in this situation. Back away and give him his space for a while.Ad
2Understand that very often, people have no idea what it is that is bothering them. So naturally it is impossible for them to tell you something they do not know themselves.
3Give him space as long as he needs it. Sometimes a few hours and sometimes a few days is all it can take.
4Let him know if it's getting to be too much. Escalate your attempts to break through if this behavior continues despite your efforts to get to the bottom of it. Tell him you care for him, but this is confusing and demoralizing to you, and you are approaching the end of your ability to deal with his issues.
5Break the silence by throwing your arms around him and holding him close to you. Tell him that you care even if he doesn't want to talk, that you will still care and will be there for him if he changes his mind and wants to talk.
6Get counseling. It may be that your partner has a clinical mood disorder. If you can get into a counseling situation, this will be recognized and help will be close at hand.
7Leave the relationship. This may be necessary if things do not improve. Don't sentence yourself to a life of misery in which you never know what's on your guy's mind and can't depend on him to be there for you at some point. It should be a two way street, it shouldn't always be about him - or you.Ad
- If you stay calm when he is upset and he stays calm when you are upset, you will both get over your grumpy moods more quickly and get back to the fun stuff. Try to balance each other's moods out.
- Don't press his friends for information to see if they know what's up. It will get back to him and he might think you don't respect his privacy.
- Don't take it personally if he continues to ignore you - it may really not have anything to do with you. Just relax, and if he does happen to look your way give him that small smile that lets him know you still care. Remember that this is his problem, not yours. You're there and offering to help him carrying whatever is burdening his heart, but you can't take the problem from him, and you can't help support him if he doesn't let you in.
- If he hurts you emotionally by pushing you away, don't take it out on yourself and don't explode all over your friends and make him out to be a monster, you'll regret it later.
- No matter how much he rants and raves, don't lose your cool. It doesn't help matters if both of you are participating in a shouting match.
- Remember that love hurts sometimes, it's all up to you to decide if it works the way you want it to. You can't make anybody be a certain way or treat you a certain way.
- Don't allow yourself to stress out over this situation. If you stay calm, cool, and collected during this dry spell, it won't come back to haunt you later on in your relationship.
- If things get bad then try counseling, he may be suffering from something that could be treated
- If there is any hitting or other physical abuse occurring, you must leave the situation.
- If you are always finding yourself in the position of trying to help him, rescue him, save him - leave. This is a classic way of establishing control and dominance; remember that dating someone is not just immediately playing at being married. Dating is where you audition the guy as much as he auditions you. If you don't like who you have to be when you're with him, it's not a match - date someone else. It doesn't mean this is a bad guy, it just means he's deep into a state of being that you don't want to live in. Know when to fold them.

Graphite doodle during meetings
new pieces I've started on. I wonder what they'll turn into….
At least for now. But I do have a working sheet for the concepts of my next projects but for now here's a list - Alice in wonderland alternate movie poster (my own design) - Pinocchio storyboard draft/sketch (I might do this one in ink, we'll see) - scene with maleficent in dragon form in front of her castle and the rose forest - beauty&the beast: not sure what yet. But belle's dress WILL be in there somewhere - mulan/mushu/cricky
Any other suggestions?
Bambi coloured storyboard style. I finished it in less than 24 hours. Whoo!!!! The last pic is from Instagram so the colour is lighter due to the filter, although I kinda think it looks better :/ This was also requested by drea :) my friends feed my obsession and get gifts wayyyyyy late lol
Progress from start to finish of the UP scene. Started it in late march and finished it June 27-ish and is currently the largest piece I've ever done. So I'm proud of myself since I designed and drew the thing from start to finish. Also I'm OCD so every, single balloon has its own string ;) Requested and done for drea.
Progress and (mostly) completed shots of the jungle book poster. Again the design isn't my own for this one. But the drawing was all free-hand
Finished little mermaid poster. This is ash's present that I finished over spring break and never put pics up XP It also took me like a year and a half to actually finish it….oops! But happy 21st babe!
And since I'm back home and reallllly enjoy having excuses to not deal with my family I've been catching up on paintings and starting (AND FINISHING!!!!) new ones. Enjoy below! This tumblr may also turn into my rants that are too long for twitter or away from Facebook if I get the urge
Finished product
Initial concept drawing
I did finish the little mermaid poster painting. I promise to post it soon, but the intended needs to see it first! And started the sketch for the UP one. But I need a new big canvas to paint it on so I can give it to drea. Up next will be a bambi I think :)
normajosh777: I would have these all in my room I haven't seen the two bottom ones before. They're cool.
I would have these all in my room
I haven't seen the two bottom ones before. They're cool.
Ahhh this is where I got the designs from for the Peter Pan and little mermaid paintings, but I sketched them freehand
Sketch of tonight. Will try to finish them in ink or something and do chimchar later.

Agree with this, mostly. We were not promised Robin, but there was a hint in one of the trailers- a shot not seen in the actual movie- where at the football game people were holding up posterboards spelling out "ROGUES" and the "R" was totally the symbol seen on Robin's costume. Most thought that was just a little shoutout to comic fans, though. In retrospect, "Blake" rhymes with "Drake" and I think that was a deliberate nod too, but not one likely to have been seen as one by people before seeing the movie.
With the Mandarin, yes, bait and switch is exactly what he was. And if that was the approach they wanted to take, I just wish they hadn't used Sir Ben Kingsley to do it. Actors don't come any bigger or classier. I think he was wasted in "Iron Man 3." By the way, I think there were some comments about how he didn't have rings? He did- there was a quick view of them both in the trailers and in the film, but they were just bling.

Tesco Value Kitchen Cloths
Date: 06/10/12
Advantages: Cheap, good quality
Disadvantages: None
I have a huge stash of different cloths and scourers under my kitchen sink. They are so cheap, I tend to just chuck a packet in my trolley whilst shopping. Some of the dishcloths I have are these ones from The Tesco value range.
The dishcloths come in a transparent plastic bag and have the usual details listing on the packaging. Thy can be purchased from Tesco in store or online, whatever way you do the shopping. I think these cost me around the 75p mark when I last bought them. Each pack contains five individual dishcloths.
They look exactly as you would expect being white in colour and of a mesh material. The dishcloths have a nice size for what they are at approximately 22cm x 25cm. As they are so cheap and part of the Tesco value range you would think that they are lacking in quality and that really isn't the case with these. The thickness is ok, granted it's not the most thick dishcloth I have come across but at the same time it isn't the thinnest either. It feels snug in my hand when I'm holding it and doesn't feel like it's going to rip or tear when I am doing vigorous cleaning with it.
Although the main use for dishcloths is the washing up, I prefer a microfiber cloth for that chore so the dishcloths get used for other daily cleaning tasks such as wiping down the worktops, cleaning out the microwave, wiping over the hob etc. The dishcloths do these jobs well and I haven't encountered any problems so far. I do tend to fold the cloth over once just to give it a little more thickness, the area of dishcloth is then reduced but it's still easy to clean with.
The packaging states that the dishcloths can be washed in the washing machine on a 40 degree wash, as long as there isn't any other washing in there. However, I'm yet to test the dishcloths in the washing machine as they are so cheap I just throw them away. I have a huge stash in my cupboard so I'm never desperate to wash these.
I'd definitely recommend these dishcloths from the Tesco Value range, not only are they so cheap for the quantity you receive but they have a fantastic quality to them too.

Public Options and Altruistic Firms - Antitrust Targets or Tools? The Welfare Impact of a Mixed Oligopoly With Managerial firms
I analyse the welfare impact of a mixed market with a public or private firm with some degree of altruism, in the presence of an agency problem. Contrary to some earlier findings, the total surplus turns out to be increasing in the degree of altruism. This impact is stronger than if there is no agency problem, despite more stringent conditions for the market to remain mixed. The altruistic firm is more cost-efficient, and viable if the market can remain mixed. A competition policy that encourages entry may increase welfare, but its scope is reduced by higher altruism.Download Info

Slave SkillsOur image of a "slave" may be of someone who had only physical strength. But according to William D, Piersen, historians have noted that there was a wide range of skilled and unskilled labor roles filled by northern slaves in addition to agricultural and domestic work. A suggestive listing of such jobs would include: anchor maker, baker, barber, blacksmith, btoonw, bookbinder, brick maker, butcher, carpenter, chairmaker, chimney sweep, cook, copper, ditch digger, distiller, doctor, dye maker, ferryman, fisherman, fox hunter, grocer, iron maker, joyner, mason, miner, nailor, porter, potash maker, pressman, rope maker, sailmaker, sawyer, seaman, sexton, shipwright, shoemaker, stam maker, soap boiler, spinner, tailor, tallow chandler, tanner, teamster, tinker, type setter, washerwoman, watchmaker, weaver, whitesmith, woodsman, and worsted comber.

Pomp's WallA slave called Pomp built this wall--now known as the "slave wall"--on Grove Street in 1765 for slave owner Thomas Brooks. The wall formed part of a decorative entrance to Brooks' house. This site was part of the estate of the Brooks family, which was first occupied in 1679 and once included some 400 acres of land. The park behind the slave wall was donated to the City of Medford in 1924 by the Brooks family. The first African-Americans arrived in Medford as slaves in February 1638. By 1765 Medford's population included 49 slaves, many of whom were tied to the infamous Transatlantic Slave Trade. A portion of the original wall still stands as a testament to Pomp's masonry abilities as well as the efforts of the other unsung individuals who made Medford's prosperity possible. |

Five women ditch their ill-fitting jeans for new pairs—all under $100.
O, The Oprah Magazine | From the February 2010 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine
These bootcut jeans (Shape fX) are like a push-up bra for your butt. Cut high in back for coverage, they also feature built-in mesh shapewear that flattens the tummy, prevents muffin top, and reapportions the bottom into a round, compact shape. "I love how they firm you yet feel so light," says Ruby, an event coordinator. A feminine blouse is long enough to tuck in. Jeanious Idea: Thighs look leaner in darker denim with minimal distressing.
