If not you…
Fear and well-meaning friends say it can't be done. Say you have to have connections. You have to have money. You have to have an agent. You have to have _________________.
Who says?
There are things you DO need to have to succeed in art licensing. Here three basic must-haves…
ART. If you don't have art that will work for commercial products, and art that is in collections, it will be very, very hard. This is the very first step… build all the relationships you want but if you don't have the art for them to choose, it won't matter.
GUTS. Being in business takes guts. It takes dedication. It sometimes takes tissues because tears may be shed… but it can be very rewarding. You need to have the guts to try. To create the art – in collections – and then see what the market says about it. And then be willing to do it again, and again, and again…
MONEY. Yes – I said it. Money. You don't have to have $100,000, but you have to have some money to invest to get started. You need a website, art supplies, computer software. You might invest in a trade show booth when you are ready… there are costs to any kind of business and art licensing is no different. For the first few years I regularly had $10-20,000 of my own money invested in my dream. I did shows. I hired coaches. I did what it took to learn the business, adapted my art and made it happen. It's true what they say – it takes money to make money.
Here's to your creative success!

P.S. If you need help – don't forget about all the eBooks on a variety of topics available at ArtLicensingInfo.com
Feel like you are on a roller coaster with your dreams and aspirations?
I know I do – OFTEN!
You get excited, fired up, you make a plan… then you start to work and it feels daunting. Then you talk to someone who questions your ability to make it happen… or you read a negative thread on social media, or something else happens that leaves you disheartened.
But you aren't a quitter! You pick yourself back up, change your attitude and start over… let's just say this, "Art licensing isn't for sissies!"
Darren Hardy, publisher of SUCESS magazine has just released a new book that speaks to this very issue. I ordered a copy and can't wait for it to arrive! His work is always positive, uplifting and HELPFUL. It's not fluff – he always presents concepts and strategies that work, both in the magazine and other books I've read. (The Compound Effect [affiliate link] being one of my other favorites.)
Here is a video from his newest release, I will be surprised if this doesn't have you nodding your head in agreement with a "been there, done that!" feeling!
And here's a link to learn more about the book (and this isn't an affiliate link – it isn't available on Amazon just yet!) https://rollercoasterbook.success.com/

US Copyright Office Ask Call replay is ready!
In our call we had attorney John Asley, Esq – also a photographer! – of the US Copyright Office on the line. He is the chief manager and supervisor, visual arts division, which is a part of the Office's Registration Program. All copyright claims based on visual arts are examined and decided in his Division. John manages a staff of about 30 experts on visual arts copyright. His entire federal career has been with the Copyright Office's Visual Arts. He teaches copyright law.
It was an amazing and information packed hour! I came away with a much better and clearer understanding of the copyright process and why we need to register our work.
In a nutshell, get your free copy and listen to it. It will be the best hour you invest in your business.
If you want more than that "trust me" recommendation, here is what we covered.
Mr Ashley mentions the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices, Third Edition frequently in the call and is very helpful in giving us chapters and page numbers to reference for certain topics. Here is the link to the page with the document: http://copyright.gov/comp3/ I will put chapter and page numbers in parentheses after subjects, when applicable.
- WHY do we need to register with the Copyright Office – don't we "own" the copyright by simply creating the art? (Compendium,Ch 200 pages 5-6.)
- Do you recommend people register copyrights under their name or under their business name?
- Dispelled the myth of "if you change something 15%, 25% etc it's ok to use someone else's work" – NOT TRUE.
- Is it ok for an artist to have their agent register their copyrights? What should we be aware of if they want to do the registrations?
- Do artists from other countries need to register with the US Copyright Office?
- CORRECTION to the info if you listened live: one mistake – the Foreign copyright owner does not have to register in Office in order to get into federal court; a US copyright owner is subject to this requirement, but not the foreign author. Why difference? Because a major treaty we joined in 1989 (Berne Treaty) forbids applying this requirement to foreign-Berne copyright owners.
- Do you recommend people register copyrights under their name or under their business name?
- How important is it that a copyright notice be placed on all work – if the notice isn't there, does it lessen our claim if someone infringes on our work? (Compendium ch 2200 p 5&6)
- Can you clarify what makes a work "published" or "unpublished"? (Compendium, ch 1900, p. 4 / ch. 1000 p 18-23)
- Can you help clear up confusion about what constitutes a "collection" of art for group or bulk registration purposes? What types of registrations are available for visual works of art? (Compendium ch 900)
- Does registering in a collection affect statutory damages that could be awarded during a lawsuit?
If you didn't get an email with the links to download the audio or to listen online, register below to claim your free copy.
Next Up…
You get two for one! Maria Brophy and I will be teaming up to answer your questions on Wednesday, January 21, 2015. Submit your questions as soon as you think of them so I don't have to beg when it gets closer, ok?

FAQ: the difference between trademarks, copyrights & patents
There have been a lot of questions and confusion lately about copyrights vs. trademarks. Domain names, business names and more. I found this video from the US Trademark & Patent Office that provides a quick and easy breakdown of the three main types of intellectual property: trademarks, patents, and copyrights. You'll learn how trademarks differ from domain names and business names. By the end of the video, you'll understand how to use each type of intellectual property to protect a different aspect of your business.
Hopefully listening to this 8 1/2 minute video will clear up some of the confusion for you!
Don't forget to join me on Wednesday, November 12, 2014 for an hour long Ask Call with an attorney from the Copyright Office. They will be talking about registration procedures, infringement protection and more. If you aren't on the Ask Call list, be sure to register at AskAboutArtLicensing.com/ask-copyright-office/

The great gift of NO…
In William Ury's book, The Power of a Positive No [affiliate link], he begins with a quote I want to share: "A 'No' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble." – Mahatma Gandhi
How many times have you said YES because you were afraid to say NO? Or you weren't sure how to say no without potentially hurting a relationship or someone else's feelings? Does YES instinctively fly out of your mouth? Do people compliment you into a YES by saying things like "You are so good at this…" or "I know it would barely take you any time…"
Beware of the word YES! YES to others is often the same as saying NO to yourself. Putting your dreams, goals, plans and business behind the needs of others… did you even stop to look at it that way?
I challenge you to consciously say NO more than you say yes for at least a day.
Engage your family and friends – tell them to bombard you with questions so you can practice saying no. "Will you do the laundry?" NO. "Can I borrow $5?" NO. "Can I have your house?" NO. Have fun with it! The more you practice, the easier it will get.
Here's to your creative success – and your comfort with the word NO.

Comcast's Business Services unit not exactly growing Slowsky
Send this to a friend
The Comcast unit that provides voice, data and video services to businesses is continuing to grow like a weed.
Comcast Business Services on Wednesday launched Upware, a website where small to midsize businesses can buy and use cloud-based software, as well as order Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA,CMCSK) products and services.
The site has nine cloud-based applications organized in three categories — data backup, data security and collaboration. Comcast plans to add more products and categories, including marketing and customer relationship management.
In my blog on Comcast last week, I said that Business Services had the highest growth rate — 34.2 percent, pushing it to $2.4 billion in revenue — of any of Comcast's cable businesses last year.
So far this year, it doesn't appear to be slowing down. Upware is the latest of a series of announcements it's made this month.
Comcast Chairman, President and CEO Brian Roberts said in last week's earnings call that Comcast is expanding its network to more "business-rich" areas to go after more potential Business Services customers and expand the reach of its Metro Ethernet service.
It made a move in that direction in the Philadelphia region earlier this month when it announced a partnership with Philadelphia Technology Park, a data center based in The Navy Yard that I mentioned in a January 2012 article on cloud computing.
The partnership allows organizations that have equipment in the data center to use Comcast's network to connect it with their other locations.
PTP will benefit from the partnership because the reach of Comcast's network will allow it to expand the geographical area from which it draws customers, said its president, Corey Blanton.
Peter covers education, energy, labor, technology and venture capital.

Here's something to quack up about: Duck Dynasty could become a big Las Vegas show.
The Robertson Family, the stars of A&E's hit series Duck Dynasty, are in talks to create a musical for the Rio Hotel and Casino, PEOPLE confirms.
The plan is to stage a 90-minute show called The Duck Commander Family Musical, which would be based on the book, The Duck Commander Family: How Faith, Family and Ducks Built a Dynasty, by Willie and Korie Robertson.

Case reopened after Volusia County teacher arrested on child porn charges
Published On: Aug 06 2014 10:44:36 AM EDT
Updated On: Jul 16 2014 06:46:08 PM EDT
Updated On: Jul 16 2014 06:46:08 PM EDT
A decade-old allegation accusing a local teacher is being re-investigated after the teacher was arrested for similar charges.
Matthew Graziotti, who works at the Warner Christian Academy in South Daytona, was arrested on Monday for producing and distributing child porn.
Graziotti had been accused of misconduct with minor children in 2004, according to Edgewater police, but no evidence was discovered at that time. With this new arrest, the past allegation is being re-investigated, police told Local 6.
The school says it's cooperating with the investigation and providing counseling to students.

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla.- The 76-year old Shell Factory celebrated Labor day with events for families, as it moves ahead after a financial scare a few months ago. The iconic attraction hopes it's found a niche with locals and visitors.
"I am ecstatic. I mean, we have new things all the times here, new exhibits and things for our customers," says general manager Anne Sheridan.
The place on U-S 41 opened in 1938, and offers free admittance to the grounds. It has thousands of shells, plus museums and a nature park. The new zip-line has given rides to more than 7000 people in recent months, at a cost of $8.50 each.
In many ways, it's a throw-back to the 'roadside attractions' that were so popular in this country in the 1950's and 60's.
Charlie Sharp says he loves the place. "I remember these sorts of places when I was chilld and we travelled. There were a lot of these places. Now it's all Disney and the big money places. I am glad this place is here, it is part of Americana," he tells WINK News.
The place faced foreclosure a few months ago, but local investors kicked in 2 and a half million dollars to pay off a bank note, and give the attraction some extra cash cushion. The Shell Factory says visitation is not a problem -- it claims it had 500-thousand visitors in the past year, up 20 percent over the year before.
Mary Jane Wagner of Punta Gorda summed up the attractiveness of the place: "It's convenient, affordable, it is friendly, and there are no big crowds of waiting in line!"
The Shell Factory says it is pushing for locals to visit, to supplement the many seasonal people, the 'snow-birds', who come in the winter months.
"We are one of a kind. There isn't that much that is like us, going on around here," says manager Sheridan.

Politics: The hippie horde attempting to mob and "occupy" Wall Street this week has a method to its madness. It's all about getting President Obama re-elected by employing classic Alinskyite tactics.
At first glance, the latest protests staged by left-wing rent-a-mobs in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and elsewhere don't look terribly different from the World Trade Organization and global debt-amnesty spectaculars of a decade ago. Radicals swarm against some hated totem, chant, break a few Starbucks windows and leave scads of garbage for someone else to clean up.
But the "Occupy Wall Street" mob that shut down the Brooklyn Bridge last weekend and drew 700 arrests bears all the earmarks of a professional political machine effort to keep Obama in the White House.
This time, banks were the target, as mobs bore down on Wall Street and posted demands on their Twitter feed to tax and arrest bankers. They knew a soft spot when they saw one.
Polls show the public continues to blame banks instead of administration policies for the economic downturn and widespread joblessness. Singling out banks is a tactic torn right from the playbook of Obama's political mentor, Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky.
"The goal," wrote David Horowitz's DiscoverTheNetworks.com of Alinsky, "is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels and Lenin predicted — a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and unworthy of salvation."
"The key to radical social change," wrote Stanley Kurtz in his Alinsky biography "Radical-in-Chief," "was to turn the wrath of America's middle class against large corporations."
To some, it may be a stretch to see the hand of the Obama political machine in what is claimed to be a grass-roots effort. But the facts on the ground point to it.
For one thing, the organizers of these protests are the same ones who got Obama elected in 2008.
Last Aug. 11, former Obama "green czar" and community organizer Van Jones sent out an email to supporters calling for a new plan to "Rebuild the Dream." It called for infrastructure jobs to "rebuild our crumbling bridges" — exactly the line Obama presented in subsequent speeches.
In the same email, Jones — a self-described communist — called for jailing big bankers and instituting a "tiny fee" to siphon billions from bank transactions "to spend on Main Street job-creation," which are also things Obama favors.
Lying With Statistics: In April, we doubted that the surprisingly high ObamaCare enrollment numbers could be trusted. Turns out, we were right to be skeptical. The White House had been vastly inflating the figures all along.This week, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell admitted that ...
Corruption: Smoking-gun emails show how the administration sought to derail a CBS reporter's investigation of its "gun-waking" operation — a reporter whose computers were mysteriously and mercilessly hacked.Fast and Furious, along with Benghazi, is one of the two "phony" administration ...
Cyberwar: The director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael Rogers, has warned a congressional panel that China has the capability to knock out the entire U.S. power grid. This is a first-magnitude threat.As severe as U.S. national security problems are with the militarily resurgent Russia ...
Amnesty: Now that President Obama has made the Constitution a welcome mat for illegals to wipe their feet on, Republicans can make a series of moves. This should be treated as the national emergency it is.For the president to shield up to 5 million aliens from the deportation that statute requires ...
In his immigration speech Thursday night, President Obama announced his intention to sign an executive order that "temporarily" (or until his term is over in January 2015) allows an estimated 4 million illegal aliens to remain in the U.S., he merely formalized what he was already doing. He never ...

Fred Dupriest
Professor of Engineering
Texas A&M University
Retired Chief Drilling Engineer - ExxonMobil
The Real Causes of Borehole Misbehavior and Operational Practices to Eliminate Them
Drilling performance in most contemporary wells is dominated by borehole behaviors, more so than the rate at which we can get a bit to cut rock. The root cause of most control-drilling is usually some aspect of borehole misbehavior, though it is often not recognized as such. For example, a driller will increase WOB in a horizontal until he sees pressure spikes indicating he cannot clean the hole adequately to drill faster. But, in fact, these packoffs are usually associated with transient events around small sections of enlarged hole. The operator, who is control drilling at 200 fph, might be able to achieve 300 fph if they understand the issue as an instability problem, rather than simply as a cuttings transport limitation. We'll discuss the top four types of misbehaviors and how they constrain footage per day, the real time recognition and response practices, and the potential engineering redesign practices. There are also significant implications for well productivity, zone isolation, and other production limitations.
Fred Dupriest retired as the Chief Drilling Engineer at ExxonMobil in 2012, and he is now a Professor of Engineering practices in the petroleum engineering department of Texas A&M. He graduated from Texas A&M with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1977. He spent his first 24 years as an operations engineer in various projects around the world, followed by 12 years in a central Technical Support organization as a global operations advisor. During this time, he supported the drill teams in well planning, trouble response, real time performance management, and the development of new practices. As Chief Engineer he was involved in development of research and training strategies and he also represented ExxonMobil in numerous industry engagements. Fred has published 20 SPE papers on subjects ranging from Fracture Closure Stress practices for building integrity, the operational use of Hydrostatic Packers, Stuck Pipe Avoidance practices, practices to utilize Mechanical Specific Energy surveillance to maximize performance, and the Limiter RedesignTM drilling performance management workflow. He is an inductee in the AADE Drilling Fluids Hall of Fame, and the recipient of the SPE 2012 International Drilling Engineering award.

Come on Jets, get your head out of your ass!
[CENTER][B][SIZE="5"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]NEW YORK JETS (9-4)[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE="3"]versus[/SIZE] [SIZE="5"][COLOR="Black"]PITTSBURGH STEELERS (10-3)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]

Heinz Field - Pittsburgh, PA
So here we are, late in December, in an almost-must-win game. Not from a standings standpoint but from a morale standpoint. After a 9-2 start, the Jets have slipped to 9-4, in hideous fashion. The Jets have not scored a touchdown since the month of November. It doesn't get any easier today. New York travels into the always difficult Heinz Field to face the Pittsburgh Steelers. Facing an elite defense, Mark Sanchez and Brian Schottenheimer must figure out a way to right the ship on offense. Defensively, the Jets must continue to build on the momentum they had last week when they harassed the Dolphins offense the whole day. Look for a tough, low-scoring defensive struggle that will be winnable in the fourth quarter.

99.9% Jets aren't winning this game. Sad that the Jets were once 9-2.
Lets go Jetssss

I did the same thing last week, except it was shots
This board needs a win like whoa, but its not coming today friends. I hope I am wrong
Some things on twitter from Michael Smith...
[QUOTE]As I mentioned on Countdown, Sanchez very at ease when I saw him last night. Said a convo with Brunell helped him put things in perspective.
Brunell told him not to try to hard, take care of the football, don't be afraid to take off and run. Sanchez said he watched Brees and Brady
have success against Steelers getting rid of ball quickly into hands of playmakers. Said Jets had been throwing +15 passes too much lately
Santonio Holmes was locked in when I saw him. Said he isn't here to be friends. Said he's thinking of doing his first-down drop in direction of Steelers bench or while staring at Mike Tomlin. He really had a focused edge, if you will, to him last night.
[B]Rex installed a special play this week designed to send a message to the Steelers.[/B]
Bart Scott talked last night about veterans needing to step up their play around Sanchez. Said defense needs to play with more enthusiasm
Scott said nobody's panicking but sense of urgency is there because guys realize (or need to realize) this group unlikely to stay together.
Jets will try to use passing game as extension of running game. Spread Steelers out, try to exploit matchups against Steelers linebackers.[/QUOTE]
Interesting...wonder what that might be.
Last edited by MDL_JET; 12-19-2010 at 04:39 PM.
Next home game the whole crowd should chant SCHOTTY SUCKS! SCHOTTY SUCKS! all day
How's Schotty gonna start this game you think?
Coming out throwing? Comin out running?
I usually like to run first, but Polamalu out and their season needing a jump start, I'd say go ahead and pass early. Throw it to Keller, and to Greene. Start Greene. Keep LT for 3rd downs.
[QUOTE=MDL_JET;3869691]Some things on twitter from Michael Smith...

We punt on 3rd down instead of waiting until 4th down because we know Schotty is worthless.

"4/10" Oh... How unexpected...

"4/10" Oh... How unexpected...
United States
"4/10" Oh... How unexpected...
(note: add sarcasm)
So, it's a 10 pending on the online service, I'm guessing.
I can't imagine the online will be a flop. Nintendo's recent track record has been pretty great in that department.
Time for Nintendo to introduce a new 128/256 GB model.
It's kind of a drag having a separate piece of hardware hooked-up to my Wii U.
All themes should be free. It's ridiculous Nintendo charges the same amount for these wallpapers as they do for a number of actual games.
(Also, I want a new Excitebike game that looks just like the DLC's design)
This game charmed my pants right off last E3 (...I was immediately escorted off site, of course).
These themes really should be free, Nintendo, or at least bundled together with several different themes for the kind of money you're charging for a simple background image.
I loved this little system and still happen to have mine. System, box and manuals all in mint condition!
The screen's refresh rate was always a little disappointing, which tended to blur fast-scrolling games, but other than that issue, it was definitely ahead of its time.
Never understood the underground elation for this little game. I gave it a go in the early 2000s and I tried to like it. I really, REALLY tried to like it. Lord knows I tried, but it just never seemed to "leave the runway".
It was okay. Fine, in fact. A solid 7. But a perfect 10? That's just crazy talk.
Shame no 3DS option.
I'm buying this based on the corny infomercial, alone.
Why is the 2001 GBA package of classic Namco arcade games the ONLY collection Namco is capable of releasing?
And why do they still insist on dividing these games into 2 different releases??
Namco's obsession with these 2001-based packages is truly bizarre.
If only there were 55 must-see-things, then I might be interested.
Is there no such thing as school or parents anymore??
Is that all you kids do these days? Play vidya games???
That Donkey Kong design is wonderful. I don't recall ever seeing a brown controller in all my days.
Seeing all the Shantae love warms my cold, dead heart.
No Pinball? Boooo, no pinball!
Ha! Jeans, t-shirt and sneakers. Aside from the occasional lapse in judgement, I've been dressing the same way since I was a 2-year old.
@FritzFrapp Not yet (46 next month) but old enough to know a thing or two about fashion regrets.
LOL this hat style; destined to be an embarrassing fashion fad.
(Yeah... I'm definitely the oldest guy here)
That Spinner Bowser will be mine.
Of, course, none of these themes should be more than $1 / €1 / £1 (actually, they should really just be free, Nintendo) but them's the breaks, I suppose.
Also, what is the BGM for the new themes and when will we have a BGM-off option?
Charm levels are off the charts in this great little game!
Nintendo, it really is time to bring SNES games to the 3DS.
At last on the 3DS where it truly belongs.
Well, dispensable income, looks like you're safe this week...
Here's hoping your reviews are stellar, Shantae!
Nintendo has the best indy games of all portable and home consoles.
Skipped straight to the Mega Man screens.
Background music volume options, please!!
Specifically: on/off.
So long, money... Perhaps we'll meet again some day.
I spent WAAAAAY too much time on this game at last E3.
Poor, Donkey Kong Jr. Sentenced to brief appearances and rare cameos.
Why, Nintendo? Why have you abandoned your little, tank top-wearing monkey?
Will any of these themes help me be any less terrible at SSB?
Oh, Ubisoft. Just when I think you can't get any douchier...
@Ebitwomaru Planking??
So happy to have the promotional freebie version of this game from last year. Love this game and have always thought it was crazy how Nintendo has considered the home version of Donkey Kong a 3-level only game for the better part of 30 years.
And, Nintendo... where's Popeye, already!!??
@FritzFrapp Good catch.
@Nintenjoe64 They basically did. It's called: "A Link Between Worlds".
Sears; Talking crazy since 1893.
Weak week.
Shouldn't this already have come out, flopped and been forgotten by now?
Wait... What?
That... is not Mother 4.
I'm a sucker for the G&W series. Wish Nintendo would release Donkey Kong G&W for 3DS, as it's dual screen setup is the perfect platform. Strange it hasn't yet been done.
Isabella running on all fours is something I didn't need to see.
By this point, Wii U and 3DS really should share all VC titles, one-to-one: Same library, and multi-platform sharing.
Drives me a bit nutty trying to remember which VC games are on which system.
And while I'm on a rant, where on Earth are TGX-16, NEO-GEO, Genesis and (for goodness sake) SNES on 3DS???

Turkey Burger seasonings and moisteners
Many non red meat eaters coming to annual Memorial Day grill fest. I want to make turkey burgers bit want them to be tasty and not dry, if possible.Your thoughts?
We like rosemary, cracked pepper, dijon mustard and a little red wine vinegar. Never add salt. Tastes great on a toasted bun with dill pickles and garlic mayo.
re: blackpointyboots
Another vote for finely minced mushrooms -- the meaty texture doesn't detract from the turkey, and it adds a lot of flavor and moisture.
re: blackpointyboots
+1 on onions and mushrooms for moisture. And Worcestershire.
re: blackpointyboots
+1 on the onions and mushies.
The trick I discovered in an Italian cookbook for meatballs and the like was to use breadcrumbs (or stale bread) soaked in milk and mixed into the ground meat, to produce very tender moist results.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I think I'll go with the onion, and maybe the chipotle. Thanks!
My best friend's teenage daughter made turkey burgers for dinner the other night. and mixed the ground turkey with turkey sausage. Not sure of proportions since I wasn't there when she made them, but she said she didn't add any other seasonings or binders. The fat in the sausage helped keep them moist and I loved the flavor.
re: JoanN
I'll second the idea of incorporating some turkey sausage or turkey bacon. Garlic and onion are essential, and adding coleslaw helps with moisture and texture. It is better to use shredded rather than chopped cabbage, and to slice onions into paper-thin rings with a mandoline. The reason for this is that the strings of cabbage and onion form a matrix that helps keep the meat from falling apart.
re: greygarious
cole slaw with mayo? no cooked mayo for me!
re: magiesmom
Yes, although there's not all that much mayo in the cup or so of slaw that I'd add to 2 pounds of meat. There is no greasiness in the burgers, just moistness. Oil, eggs, and vinegar - those get cooked into all sorts of foods and sauces. Guess you don't like hollandaise or bearnaise either.
To make turkey burgers for outdoor grilling, try to find the type that has some dark meat mixed with the white. It will be marked as about 90% lean. That all-white, 98% lean, will take a lot of work to hold together and will easily dry out if cooked at too high a heat. I like to use finely grated zucchini and onion for moisture. Add about a half cup each plus 1 egg per 2 lbs of ground turkey.
re: VelvetRose
me too on the zucchini, and you never know it's there. I use it in turkey meatloaf, it's a WW recipe my daughter gave me.
re: VelvetRose
I like the zucchini idea, and I use all dark meat ground turkey.
I must admit, I'm a little confused. Dry? My biggest problem with turkey burgers always seems to be too much moisture, to the point where they don't hold together. I usually season with S&P, cumin, smoked parika and a dollop of GP mustard. When they are about ready I might splash a little Worchesterchire sauce or Sriracha if I want a little spice.
re: jhopp217
If you're having a problem with your turkey burger patties being too moist, form them a few hours ahead of time, separate them with some squares of wax paper, & stick them in the fridge. Firms them up nicely.
re: jhopp217
Mine hold together fine, they just tend to taste dry when cooked. This is in part, I am sure because we eat beef burgers rare and tb's have to be cooked more.
re: magiesmom
I make my TBs medium rare. I can't eat anything that is bordering on well. Probably not the safest thing, but I've never gotten sick, so I stick with it
I make Turkey Burgers unbelievably frequently - we LOVE them. Have never had a problem with dryness - just pay attention while you're grilling them.
All I add to the meat (1 pkg. - about 1 to 1-1/3 pounds depending on the brand) for "regular" (not "specialty") burgers is about half a palm-full of McCormick's Monterey Chicken Grilling Seasoning, a few dashes of granulated garlic, some freshly-ground black pepper, & several good-size dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Form into 4 patties. That's it. Always juicy - even when thoroughly cooked as they should be. Remember - no "rare" or even "medium rare" allowed for turkey burgers, unless you want your guests to possibly develop an intimate relationship with their bathroom later on. . . . .
I make this at least once per week at the place where I work (a residential house for people with mental illness). I vary things each time, but the basic idea is finely chopped red onion or scallions, ground cumin, paprika, ground anise or fennel (tiny amount), salt and pepper, and a finely diced apple or pear. The fruit is what makes it moist. Sometimes I top with a simple tomato, onion, oil and vinegar salad with fresh thyme or basil, and some homemade mayo with lots of garlic and lemon, and more fresh thyme or basil. Or mayo with rooster sauce stirred in.
Tasty? Just mix in some Old Bay, to taste. I don't measure it, just sprinkle it in. As for moistness, I haven't had a problem as long as I don't overcook, but you could try the meat loaf trick of adding some bread crumbs or some bread softened in milk.
I use a ton of dijon mustard and a good amount of soy sauce (not sure of amounts). It's good topped with mayo mixed with lemon juice & rind & whatever other toppings are on hand.
Recently made turkey burgers with chopped fresh spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomatoes mixed into the patties. Yum. Good with a yogurt sauce.
I don't know if calories are part of the considertion, but if not, cream's a good binder, along with plenty of herbs. It will also help them brown beautifully.
I have a recipe somewhere at home that blends a little ricotta cheese into the burger patties. I like it. A lot!
As long as this thread is being revived, let me add a shoutout for, and a link to, the Southeast Asian Turkey Burgers from "Gourmet Today" that have become an oft-repeated favorite for many of us COTM participants.
Martha Stewart's turkey burgers have changed my life - I almost prefer them to a regular burger now. I tweaked the recipe and add worcestershire, siracha and grated onion instead of spring onions. I use panko breadcrumbs and I also add more grated cheese, any kind I have on hand, but the gruyere is tasty! I think the cheese inside keeps them really moist. Here is the basic recipe.
I add some olive oil, garlic powder and a package of the Lipton Onion Soup Mix to the ground turkey and it was the best burger i'd ever eaten...VERY flavorful and not too dry.
I make burgers from highland cattle/moose/venison/Canada goose all the time.
All really lean meats.
My tip is to have the ground meat cold. gently with your hands mix in a couple of T's of cold unsalted clarified butter and whatever herbs you want.
I use a white plastic 4" collar used in plumbing to gently form the patties about 3/4" thick.
Make a little indent in the center of the patty.
Hot but not screaming hot fry pan. T of coconut oil. Gently turn burgers every 30 seconds. This will allow even cooking faster.
I like to add sautéed onion that's chopped fine, along with your favorite seasonings, it gives it flavor and moisture.

A solid imaging apparatus and method employing sub-pixel shifting in multiple exposures of the digitally light projected image of a cross-section of a three-dimensional object on a solidifiable liquid medium. The multiple exposures provide increased resolution, preserving image features in a three-dimensional object and smoothing out rough or uneven edges that would otherwise be occur using digital light projectors that are limited by the number of pixels in an image projected over the size of the image. Algorithms are used to select pixels to be illuminated within the boundary of each image projected in the cross-section being exposed.

The present invention is directed to a pixel shifting technique to achieve high resolution and preserve image details in an image projection system limited by the projected size of the pixels, such as occurs with light valve projectors using DMD or LCD based projectors, for use in an apparatus for forming three-dimensional objects on a layer-by-layer basis. More particularly, it is directed to an apparatus and method having the ability to shift a projected image a small amount to either project the image in the correct feature position or to permit multiple exposures in the same cross-sectional plane to obtain edge smoothness in the three-dimensional object being formed from a liquid medium solidifiable in response to exposure by UV or visible light.
In recent years, many different techniques for the fast production of three-dimensional models have been developed for industrial use. These solid imaging techniques are sometimes referred to as rapid prototyping and manufacturing (�RP&M�) techniques. In general, rapid prototyping and manufacturing techniques build three-dimensional objects layer-by-layer from a working medium utilizing a sliced data set representing cross-sections of the object to be formed. Typically, an object representation is initially provided by a Computer Aided Design (CAD) system.
Stereolithography, presently the most common RP&M technique, was the first commercially successful solid imaging technique to create three-dimensional objects from CAD data. Stereolithography may be defined as a technique for the automated fabrication of three-dimensional objects from a fluid-like material utilizing selective exposure of layers of the material at a working surface to solidify and adhere successive layers of the object (i.e. laminae). In stereolithography, data representing the three-dimensional object is input as, or converted into, two-dimensional layer data representing cross-sections of the object. Layers of material are successively formed and selectively transformed or solidified (i.e. cured) using a computer controlled laser beam of ultraviolet (UV) radiation into successive laminae according to the two-dimensional layer data. During transformation, the successive laminae are bonded to previously formed laminae to allow integral formation of the three-dimensional object. This is an additive process. More recent designs have employed the use of visible light to initiate the polymerization reaction to cure the photopolymer build material that is commonly referred to as resin.
Stereolithography represents an unprecedented way to quickly make complex or simple parts without tooling. Since this technology depends on using a computer to generate its cross-sectional patterns, there is a natural data link to CAD/CAM. Such systems have encountered and had to overcome difficulties relating to shrinkage, curl and other distortions, as well as resolution, accuracy, and difficulties in producing certain object shapes. While stereolithography has shown itself to be an effective technique for forming three-dimensional objects, other solid imaging technologies have been developed over time to address the difficulties inherent in stereolithography and to provide other RP&M advantages.
These alternate technologies, along with stereolithography, have collectively been referred to as solid freeform fabrication or solid imaging techniques. They include laminated object manufacturing (LOM), laser sintering, fused deposition modeling (FDM), and various ink jet based systems to deliver either a liquid binder to a powder material or a build material that solidifies by temperature change or photocuring. Most recently a technology using digital light processing technology has employed visible light to initiate the photopolymerization reaction to cure a photopolymer build material, commonly referred to as a resin. Each of these additive technologies have brought various improvements in one or more of accuracy, building speed, material properties, reduced cost, and appearance of the build object
During the same time period that solid imaging or solid freeform fabrication has evolved, the two-dimensional imaging industry evolved ways to displace the projected image on a screen or, in the case of the printing industry, on a receiving substrate. These approaches addressed the basic problem that digital light projectors produce images with coarse resolution. Digital light projectors typically project only 100 pixels per inch for an image size of 10.24 inches by 7.68 inches. The photographic printing industry especially has employed techniques to shift a two-dimensional color image to improve resolution by a variety of techniques, including moving the light source or light valve. Other approaches have included moving or shifting the photographic paper, using polarizing and double refracting plates, and, in the case of image projection systems, using multiple spatial light modulators. All of these systems have addressed the inherent limitation of image distortion when projecting resized digital images or the problem of light valve projectors, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a digital micro-mirror device (DMD), having a fixed number of pixels. Attempting to utilize image displacement techniques with digital image projections in solid imaging applications presents unique problems because of the three-dimensional aspect of the object being created. The problems of two-dimensional digital image projection, when applied to three-dimensional solid imaging, cause inaccurate feature placement, potential loss of feature details, and smoothness of curves or edges on objects being built to be roughened or uneven and poorly defined.
Additionally, none of the prior solid freeform fabrication approaches, while making substantial improvements, have yet to achieve a truly low cost system that produces highly accurate and visually appealing three-dimensional objects in a short build time.
These problems are solved in the design of the present invention by combining a low cost solid imaging technique with the use of digital imaging projection in a manner that preserves object features and achieves object edge smoothness in three-dimensional object fabrication.
It is an aspect of the present invention that an apparatus is provided that achieves high resolution imaging in three-dimensional objects built using UV or visible light and a photopolymer material.
It is another aspect of the present invention that an entire image cross-section is projected onto a solidifiable medium so the projected pixel image is aligned to the correct feature position of the three-dimensional object being built.
It is still another aspect of the present invention that multiple different image exposures are projected onto the solidifiable medium to form one of multiple cross-sections comprising the three-dimensional object being built from the same CAD and sub-pixel displaced sliced image data.
It is a feature of the present invention that an algorithm is used to control the image projected by the digital light projector onto the solidifiable medium in each cross-section of the three-dimensional object being built.
It is another feature of the present invention that the projected pixel image is moved a fraction of a pixel in the multiple different exposures of each cross-section of the three dimensional object being built to obtain correct feature position and edge smoothness.
It is yet another feature of the present invention that the image projected onto the solidifiable medium can be moved by one of several techniques including rotating a transparent plane or two transparent planes about one or more axes placed between the projector and the target area of the cross-section, moving the digital light projector, rotating the mirrors that project the image or moving the cross-section being built.
It is an advantage of the present invention that a low cost solid imaging device is obtained that provides high resolution.
It is another advantage of the present invention that accurate feature placement in each cross-section in a three-dimensional object being built layer-by-layer is obtained so that accurate feature placement is not lost due to the fixed number of pixels that can be projected in a single image projection by a digital light projector.
It is still another advantage of the present invention that edge filling is accomplished to provide smooth edges in each cross-section in a three-dimensional object being built layer by layer using a digital light projector.
These and other aspects, features, and advantages are obtained by the present invention through the use of a solid imaging apparatus and method that employ a pixel shift in successive exposures of a cross-section and an algorithm that controls the exposure of multiple images projected onto a solidifiable liquid medium in each cross-section of a three-dimensional object being built to create an object with high resolution and no lost features or uneven or rough edges.
These and other aspects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following detailed disclosure of the invention, especially when taken in conjunction with the following drawings wherein:
Flexible transport solid imaging of the type disclosed herein involves the layer-by-layer build-up of articles from a visible or UV liquid photopolymer material that is delivered by the flexible transport endless belt or reciprocatable sheet of film. Liquid photopolymer material is applied to the endless belt or reciprocatable sheet of film from a cartridge employing a gravure wheel that picks up the photopolymer and transfers it to the flexible transport device to provide a fresh material to create new layers as the object is built. The photopolymer is imaged by radiation projected from either a digital UV projector or a digital visible light projector. The projector includes spatial light modulator, such as a digital micro-mirror device (�DMD�), that selectively illuminates pixels for imaging. Visible light projection is a preferred approach.
Solid imaged parts are preferably built on an elevator platform that moves the build object or part up into contact with the liquid photopolymer and, after exposure, down and out of contact with the liquid photopolymer as successive layers or laminae are formed during the building process. The build object can be built on structures known as supports rather than directly on the elevator platform. Supports are used for more complex three-dimensional objects being built that have unsupported or partially unsupported surfaces.
Commercially available digital light projectors, optionally modified to have a shorter focal length, may be employed, such as those available from InFocus Corporation of Wilsonville, Oreg. and BenQ America Corp. of Irvine, Calif. However, digital light projectors inherently have limited resolution. For example, if a 1024 by 768 pixel image is projected over a 10.24 inch by 7.68 inch area the effective resolution is 100 dpi (100 dots per inch). In this case the minimum feature size is 0.010 inch, part features may be located as far off their correct position as 0.005 inch, and a wall drawn at 45� to the X or Y axis will have a peak to peak roughness of 0.007 inch. Also, walls along the X and Y axes will exhibit roughness.
Sub-pixel image shifting is a way to improve accuracy and edge smoothness in three-dimensional objects crated by solid imaging. This approach is based on exposing a full sized image, and then shifting the image plane half a pixel or less, adjusting the projected image to match the new image position, and then exposing again. With this technique, and shifting half a pixel in the X and Y planes, the 10.24 inch by 7.68 inch area described above would look like it had an effective resolution of 200 dpi. If the image is shifted twice at one third of a pixel, and exposed three times, it has an effective resolution of 300 dpi, etc. In these cases the accuracy and the wall smoothness of the solid image or three-dimensional object built are improved.
In one application of the present invention, the photopolymer material is delivered to the imaging area via a transparent flexible transport film such as polypropylene or polycarbonate. The photopolymer is applied in a thin layer to the flexible transport film in the embodiment shown in
As seen in
Looking now at
Data is sent to the solid imaging system from a CAD station (not shown) that converts the CAD data to a suitable digital layer data format and feeds it to a computer control system (also not shown) where the object data is manipulated to optimize the data via an algorithm to provide on/off instructions for the digital light projector. The solid imaging layer data is attained by the CAD data being processed by a slicing program to create cross-sectional data. The algorithm is then applied to the cross-sectional data by a suitable controller, such as a microprocessor or computer, to create the instructions for the digital light projector to illuminate selected pixels in the image within the boundary of the three-dimensional object in the cross-section being formed. The algorithm can select pixels for illumination that are only full pixels within the boundary of the image in the cross-section being exposed as seen in
As seen in
As previously stated, either an ultraviolet (�UV�) digital radiation projector or a visible digital light projector system may be used to cure the photocurable solidifiable liquid medium. With either type of a digital light projector, an algorithm that selects out pixels in a cross-section that have previously been exposed can be employed to prevent overcuring of the resin in those areas. Such overcuring can cause part curl, shrinkage and part distortion. Additionally, it is possible to convert the image boundaries to a bit map and then shift only those pixels that contain the boundaries to obtain the required sub-pixel placement accuracy edge smoothness.
Any suitable fluid medium capable of solidification in response to the application of an appropriate form of energy stimulation may be employed in the practice of the present invention. Many liquid state chemicals are known which can be induced to change to solid state polymer plastic by irradiation with UV radiation or visible light. A suitable visible visible light curable photopolymer that may be employed in the practice of the present invention is shown in Table I below. This formulation exhibited excellent resolution and photospeed when utilized with a BenQ PB7220 projector. The parts created displayed outstanding green strength with balanced stiffness and toughness.
Alternatively, the image projected onto the solidifiable liquid medium for solid imaging an object can be shifted by rotating or otherwise moving the image shifting mirror or by physically moving the cross-section being built.
While the invention has been described above with references to specific embodiments thereof, it is apparent that many changes, modifications and variations in the materials, arrangements of parts and steps can be made without departing from the inventive concept disclosed herein. For example, the sub-pixel image displacement technique could equally well be employed in a modified stereolithography apparatus having a vat employing a UV or visible digital light projector in place of a laser. An example of such a stereolithography apparatus that could easily be modified is a Viper si2� SLA� system available commercially from 3D Systems, Inc., the assignee of the present invention. The sub-pixel image displacement device employs at least one rotatable transparent plate as described herein, rotatable mirrors, shiftable digital light projectors or a shiftable support platform to displace the pixels in the image of a projected cross-section of a three-dimensional object being formed from a solidifiable liquid medium. The liquid medium forms a fresh layer to be solidified either by a deep dip technique or by use of a recoater that places a fresh layer of liquid material onto an already exposed and solidified cross-section of the three-dimensional object being formed, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,902,537 and 6,048,487 both assigned to the assignee to the present invention. Accordingly, the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims are intended to embrace all such changes, modifications and variations that may occur to one of skill in the art upon a reading of the disclosure. All patent applications, patents and other publications cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
