Friday In Music + Dance: Andrew Bird
Since age four, Chicago-based songwriter / performer Andrew Bird has been playing music ranging from classical to early country blues, but has spent the past 13 years writing pop music infused with unconventional violin, glockenspiel, guitar, and his trademark whistling. He's released 11 albums, most recently the widely lauded Noble Beast(2009) which has won praise from Esquire, the New York Times Magazine, and NPR, among others. Amazon.com recently named Bird's Mysterious Production of Eggs, including original artwork by print artist Jay Ryan, one of the "100 Greatest Indie Rock Albums of All Time."
What is interesting about Andrew Bird is his effective use of loops. When closing your eyes and listening to one of his records you may think, 'there MUST be a full band behind him', but what makes the magic is his art of loops.
Most of Andrew's equipment went missing before his show, so he played an all acoustic set with instruments contributed by Kaki King, Jenny Lewis, Broken Social Scene and others. This is the "Water Jet Cilice" which he is looping each particular part. Check it out and see if you can catch each loop as he goes along. What begins as a simple whistle and strum becomes a beautifully composed piece.

There is a right way and a wrong way to express the units associated with a given quantity. Good examples include:
To a good approximation you can make a yardstick by gluing three one-foot rulers together end-to-end, as shown in figure 1. This gives us a concrete, physical basis for saying that 1 yard "equals" three feet.
This physical interpretation is captured in the algebra, if we do things right. For example, if we multiply two quantities together, the numerical magnitudes get multiplied and the units get multiplied. For example, if the length L is 30 feet and the width W is 2 feet, the area A is given by:
| (1) |
It would be quite improper to say «the area was 60», or that «the area was 60 feet». The area is 60 square feet.
Let us now consider an example of what not to do. This is taken from page 13 of reference 1.
In this document, we put equations and tables on a red background to warn you about things that are not recommended. Similarly we use «⋯» as scare-quotes around improper expressions.
This equation uses the unit of measurement (C or F) as a stand-in for the thing being measured. This is a Bad Idea. It is diametrically inconsistent with modern notions of unit-analysis.
There is a very important difference between the thing being measured and the unit used to measure it, as discussed in section 2.2.
Here's another example: Recently I was looking at the data plate on an electric motor. It said:
The colons on the data plate were meant to be interpreted as equal signs; that is:
Using this approach, it is possible to write equations such as
If you find this confusing, good for you. This usage is very old-fashioned and not recommended, as indicated by the red background. This usage is exactly backwards relative to modern usage. However, you still see it from time to time, so it is worth learning to recognize it, and to appreciate just how different it is from modern usage.
Modern usage would say "input frequency = 60 Hz" instead of «HZ = 60», and would say "rotation rate = 1725 RPM" instead of «RPM = 1725», et cetera. Instead of equation 3 we would write the conversion factor in the form:
| = 28.75 |
| (4) |
There is quite a stark difference between these two equations. In equation 4, Hz appears in the denominator of the RHS, whereas in equation 3 it appears in the numerator. These two equations are using the same symbols with essentially opposite meanings. Since equation 4 is consistent with our policy of attributing physical reality to units (as depicted in figure 1) and equation 3 is not, we accept equation 4 and reject equation 3.
If you are going to use the modern system, you must strictly avoid mixing it with the other system. This leaves us with the question, what to do if you encounter something expressed in the bad old system, such as the motor data plate mentioned above.
The answer is to consider the RPMs mentioned on the data plate, and in equation 3, as being essentially the inverse of real RPMs ... and similarly for the other abused units on the data plate. The rationale for this is as follows:
| (5) |
which we see is the same as equation 4, as it should be.
Here's a trickier example,from page 190 of reference 1. For a steam engine:
I wish to make two different points about this. Please let's not confuse the two points.
1) First, I call attention to the LHS, which is "indicated horsepower". This is another an example of using the unit of measurement as a stand-in for the thing being measured. This is a Bad Idea, as discussed in section 2.2.
The thing that is really interesting here is that the way units are used on the LHS of equation 6 is inconsistent with the way units are used on the RHS, and in particular with the way the quantities P, L, A, and N are defined on the RHS of equation 7.
This is relevant because if the people who use backwards units would use them consistently backwards, we might chalk it up to a difference of taste, not worth arguing about. But when they are inconsistent about it, it's more than a question of taste; it's an out-and-out blunder.
The best way to remove the inconsistency is to standardize on the modern approach.
2) Secondly, let us turn to the RHS. The book says:
which is interesting because in some sense those four statements are dimensionally correct, if we consider P, L, A, and N to be "pure numbers" (unitless and dimensionless) standing in front of explicit units.
This is, however, still not recommended. Even though it is not wrong in any deep sense, it is not recommended. The problem is that the numerical value of (say) A is tied to the units in use.
In contrast, modern practice is to do algebra using variables that have not had units factored out, for example
| (8) |
At this point you may be wondering about an interesting issue, namely that when doing a practical calculation it has always been necessary (with rare, recent exceptions) to calculate using pure numbers.
(Nowadays you can find software that will keep track of the units while doing algebra, but this was not the case in 1948, and is still quite rare today, and in particular not widely available in the physics classroom.)
So you could argue that a formula involving pure numbers has value for practical computations.
That is a valid argument, but there is a stronger counterargument. The need for pure numbers can be accommodated within the formalism of modern unit analysis. One could write:
indicated power/HP = |
| (9) |
(where spm means power strokes per minute).
which has the advantage of being absolutely true no matter what units the variables are measured in. If L is measured in some units other than ft, then the problem is obvious and more importantly the solution is obvious if you follow the factor-label method.
Units are not the same as dimensions. A foot and a yard have the same dimensions, namely dimensions of length. But a foot and a yard are very different units; one is smaller than the other by a factor of three. Length and width have the same dimensions. Sometimes length and width are measured in the same units, and sometimes in different units. The distinction between units and dimensions comes into sharp focus when we consider dimensionless units, as in reference 2.
See reference 3 for an introduction to dimensional analysis. All notions of units and dimensions rest on deeper notions of scaling, as discussed in reference 4.
There is a profound difference between the unit of measurement and the thing being measured. For example, if you are measuring a piece of fabric with a yardstick, the fabric is not to be confused with the yardstick. The fabric is the thing being measured, and the yardstick embodies the unit of measurement.
Another example can be found in equation 2. Temperature is the thing being measured; degrees C or degrees F are the units of measurement.
Yet another example is the frequency in equation 5. The frequency is the thing being measured, and the hertz (denoted Hz) is the unit of measurement. Just as the rulers in figure 1 have physical significance, the Hz has physical significance. If the frequency changes from 50 Hz to 60 Hz, the Hz is not what changes; it is the frequency that changes.
Sometimes, the thing being measured is named after a unit. Examples include
It must be emphasized that the physical quantity is not required to be measured in the named units.
Note that mileage (as a measure of fuel economy) is exceptional because it measures distance per unit volume, even though the name would suggest plain distance.

Design Dilemma: Finding Modern Outdoor Furniture
Homeowners with rigorously modern interiors sometimes find it hard to carry on the modern look when they turn their attention to the outdoors. Yes, it's easy to find the traditional styles of wicker, plastic, teak, or wrought iron furnishings for patios, verandas and terraces. But what about the cool modern stuff? Well, we've got some ideas for those tired of plastic fold-up chairs. Take a look:
Hemisphere by Dedon. Tables and chairs are fashioned of synthetic platinum-colored fiber. Club chairs run about $2000 without pillows. The footrest is about $1500.
Brasilia designed by Ross Lovegrove for Zanotta. In rigid polyurethane, varnished with an anti-scratch coating. The chaise is about $2644. The footrest is about $950. Both are available in various colors.
Stools from the Tokyo-Pop series designed by  Tokujin Yoshioka for Driade. Stools come in white, sand and orange and cost about $370.
Vintage by Tribù. Chaise lounge in polypropylene with glass fibers, about $3,260.
Other great sources to check out for interesting outdoor furniture include:

Ben Says:
July 23rd, 2011 at 1:09 amThanks for sharing the information. Love all of your wonderful photos. I practically live outdoors, so here are a few thoughts you need to think about. Wood deteriorates and falls apart with time. You'll want to treat it yearly, which is no fun. And you must treat every nook and cranny on each piece, because moisture will find a way in. Resin will stain and have to be bleached to clean, but it is [reasonable. It can be kind of uncomfortable. The right patio furniture is wrought iron. And if you get a quality set. It's worth the investment. I'm a long time reader and first time commenter!

A Step by Step Guide to Success
For someone out there on the fence, especially someone young and single, mulling over the idea of starting their own eCommerce business, Andrew Youderain has some ready advice: "I would strongly encourage them to do it," he says. "It could change the trajectory of your whole life."
Andrew speaks from experience. Four-and-a-half years and several succesful eCommerce businesses later, his life's trajectory has evolved from trudging through 14-hour workdays at a small investment firm, to having the freedom for a seven-month global trek that included hiking across exotic landscapes, sailing through crystal clear waters, and volunteering his time to teach basic English to Indian children at a slum school. But don't get the wrong impression. Success came only as a result of a strong commitment, research, saving money, and putting in the time. This hard work, however, brought fast rewards for himself and his family. Using a mountain euphuism befitting his Bozeman, Montana home, as well as the freedom found in the entrepreneurial world, he jokingly remarks, "Whatever I kill and drag home is what I eat."
Kidding aside, Andrew's now ready to give back to the aspiring entrepreneur still searching for his or her way. He's put together a step-by-step guide, "How To Build A Profitable eCommerce Store", which is available on the website, StartupPlays.com. He also writes an informative blog on his site eCommerceFuel.com, and he has written a free eBook available titled, "Profitable eCommerce."
"I think the Play would be helpful to anyone who wants to follow a methodical approach to start an eCommerce business," he says, adding that he's happy to feature it on StartupPlays.com because, "I know they have a good team over there."
Andrew grew up in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and went on to get a Finance Degree from Montana State University. He chose finance because he's "always had an entrepreneur streak." Finance, he says, blends the softer skills of Management with the harder skills found in Accounting. Or, as Andrew puts it, "How business works under the hood." After briefly flirting with other business ideas, he chose the eCommerce model and soon had his first online store, which sold radio equipment, up and running for a capital investment of about $1,500. Within six months he was paying his expenses. Within a year he was supporting himself and his wife. Still, in the beginning, it took 60-hour work weeks in a cramped bedroom, and holding on to his college car that he describes as a "beater."
"Ninety-five percent of the time you hear about the end result," Andrew notes. "It takes a ton of work. It takes a lot of effort and commitment."
Before choosing radio equipment, Andrew researched several factors, such as finding a product that people wanted, as well as a product in which he could add value. He went online to find out what people were searching for; he considered whether there was confusion on what to buy, what products work best together, what is the customer's application. Then he got to work and created an online store, launching a website that by his own description would not, "win any awards."
Whether or not a person already has an idea or product in mind for a business, Andrew's Play would be a good place to start their quest for professional freedom. If someone has a strong desire to be an entrepreneur but has no idea how to go forward, "How To Build A Profitable eCommerce Business" will take them by the hand and, if they're willing to put in the time and effort, give them a good shot at success. If, on the other hand, someone is starting with ideas but is not sure how to proceed, Andrew's Play could help them sort through their ideas to get on the right track. They might, Andrew says, "Realize that their idea isn't the best way to go forward. It's a heck of a lot better than spending thousands of dollars."
Today, back home in Montana and going strong with his growing eCommerce businesses, Andrew has a newfound admiration of his country, saying, "It's given me a real appreciation of the entrepreneurial environment that the U.S. embodies and encourages, as well as other western cultures. It really makes business possible. There's no stigma on failure or not knowing something. Going out and trying and failing is not seen as a weakness."
On that note, going out with the benefit of Andrew's advice and experience couldn't hurt, either.

John Banner
Jan. 28, 1910
Vienna (Wien), Austria
Jan. 28, 1973
Vienna (Wien), Austria
Actor. Fondly remembered for his role of 'Sergeant Schultz' in the classic 1960s television sitcom "Hogan's Heroes" (1965 - 1971). An Austrian actor of Jewish descent in his hometown of Vienna, he was forced to leave when Germany and Austria unified in 1938, at the age of 28, during the Anschluss (union) between the two countries. There are reports that he spent time in a German Concentration Camp, but these are unconfirmed. At the time of the Anschluss, he was touring Switzerland with an acting company, and with Hitler's anti-semitic policies, he decided to immigrate to the United States. Rapidly picking up English, he obtained work in the early 1940s in Hollywood, oddly enough playing Nazis or Germans in war films, often uncredited. His trim Nordic look and accent typecast him in the roles of the very villains who would murder his family that had been left behind in Austria - all of whom perished in the Holocaust. His first Hollywood role was in the 1941 film, "Accent on Love," but he more often than not was uncredited in his roles. He regularly found work in such films as "Desperate Journey" (1942), "Immortal Sergeant" (1943), "Tonight we Raid Calais" (1943), "Tangier" (1946), "Rendezvous 24" (1946), "My Girl" (1948), "King Solomon's Mines" (1950), "The Beast of Budapest" (1958), "Operation Eichmann" (1961), "The Interns" (1961), and "Bedtime Story" (1964). He would also play guest star roles on television, finding steady work in such shows as The Lone Ranger, Fireside Theatre, Hallmark Hall of Fame, Father Knows Best, and The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. By 1965, he had gained an additional 100 pounds, weighing 280 pounds, and had won the role of Sergeant Georg Schultz, on the comedy series "Hogan's Heroes." In a 1965 interview with TV Guide Magazine, he viewed his Schultz role as "the representative of some kind of goodness that is in every generation." Portraying Schultz as an inept guard, he would become known for his character's ignoring of the shenanigans going on in the camp with his signature "I know nothing! I see nothing!" After "Hogan's Heroes" was cancelled in 1971, he signed on for another television sitcom, "The Chicago Teddy-Bears" (1971), set in the 1930s Chicago of Prohibition, with his character, Uncle Latzi," becoming a lovable bumbling gangster similar to the earlier Sgt. Schultz character. However, the "Chicago Teddy-Bears" flopped and was cancelled in the middle of the first season. After that, he retired to his hometown of Vienna, Austria, where he died from an abdominal hemorrhage on his 63rd birthday, in 1973. The grave shown in the photo is the original site of the Banner grave, but since grave space in Germany and Austria is tightly controlled, the space was rented to the H�bner family. The small grave sign translates as: "Here is the last resting place of the actor, John Banner, known as 'Sergeant First Class Georg Schultz' in the comedy show, 'A Cage Full of Heroes' (in English, 'Hogan's Heroes'). You have provided us with many rememberable hours; you will live forever in our hearts. We, your family, will never forget you."

Two years ago, Oklahoma State produced the phenomenal talent known as Dez Bryant, and they're back at it this year with wide receiver Justin Blackmon. Blackmon's not as big, and likely isn't as fast as Bryant, but he has a significant amount of talent, and he could come off the board quicker than his former teammate. Blackmon is viewed as the top wide receiver by many, and it's hard to argue with the tape.
When it comes to evaluating draft prospects, it all starts with the size and weight. If their size doesn't suit the position, it can significantly knock their draft stock down. Fortunately for Blackmon, he checks in just fine. Blackmon was measured at 6′ 7/8″ at the Combine and 207 pounds. While this is not the great stature that is often seen with top picks at the position, he plays a lot bigger than his size because of his vertical ability and arm length.
The scheme in which Blackmon operated in was one that has drawn criticism in the past for producing astronomical statistics and making players appear to be far better than their true talent level. However, while the majority of the criticism is geared toward the quarterbacks in the Air Raid system, the pass catchers have had some success, such as receivers Wes Welker and Michael Crabtree. The Air Raid scheme is heavily based on quick, short passes that horizontally stretch the defense through spread formations, which leads me to my next point.
Route Running
Blackmon was mainly asked to run short pass routes, such as slants and screens, but he still showed some ability to run other routes like comebacks, corners and seam-reads. These routes are important to note because the route tree is generally bigger in the NFL, and the receivers have to run the latter routes more often.
Blackmon has also shown that he has the foot quickness to win battles at the line of scrimmage and separate when breaking off his route, skills that he used against Stanford during the Fiesta Bowl when he ran a 15-yard Dig route that broke back toward the middle of the field.
Arguably one of the biggest questions about Blackmon is his speed. Just how fast is he? He didn't run the 40-yard dash at the Combine, but on tape–which is most important–he doesn't show elite speed while running down the sideline. However, he has demonstrated very good acceleration on numerous occasions, which allows him to run away from defenders.
While speed tends to be overrated, it's still a factor in controlling the defense and how they play the offense. A fast receiver can threaten the defense vertically, thus forcing the secondary to respect the possibility of a deep ball and creating space for the other pass catchers.
By far the most important aspect of a receiver, the ability to not only catch the ball but catch it consistently is key to the success of a player at the next level. Blackmon does an exceptional job, as he's able to catch the ball away from his body and snatch it when it's in flight, and he also attacks the ball aggressively down hill.
He displays very good concentration when the ball is coming in his direction, and he can adjust to the ball with his quality body control. I believe that his hands are the strength of Blackmon's game along with his ability to pick up yards after the catch.
Yards After Catch
Picking up yards after the catch has never been more important in the NFL. It showed this season, with teams like the Patriots and Saints going far into the playoffs because of it.
Blackmon's lower-body strength, particularly in his thighs and ankles, stands out once he catches the ball, as he's able to break would-be tacklers and pick up yards after the catch. He also shows very good balance in the process, which compares favorably to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
The last characteristic I look for in a wide receiver is his blocking ability. It doesn't always have to be about technique in this department, especially in college, but as long as there's intensity and willingness, I'm satisfied. This is an area in which I believe Blackmon is, at times, mis-evaluated by some because of what he shows on tape in comparison to what's asked of him. He doesn't always appear to execute blocks when the play is away from him, but that's part of his coaching.
On the other hand, when the play is in his direction, he has shown that he's willing to block, but not consistently. He's got a strong lower body, as previously mentioned, and he's able to latch on to defensive backs in the process of driving them toward the sideline to help create an alley for the ball carrier to run through.
Blackmon dominated the college scene the last couple of years with overpowering strength that culminated in eye-popping touchdowns. While he has received some criticism (and deservedly so) recently for his lack of performance at the NFL Combine, his tape from the last two seasons shows that he's a top-tier prospect and one of the top, if not the top, at his position, and he'll likely be selected in the top 10.

Entering a new season...
We are feeling super sentimental about our last couple weeks (days?) with just this little guy in the house- I know things will be amazing with our new baby girl finally here, but it is such a bittersweet transition. I have enjoyed the past two years so tremendously- at times it is so difficult to balance working from home and a chasing little one around, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm grateful every day for this sweet season of life and for the new changes right around the corner...

Baby news!
I guess it is about time I share the news here that we are expecting our second babe, a sweet little girlie, at the end of November! We are beyond excited and feel so completely blessed. We can't wait to meet her.
Some of you also know that we were involved in a car crash this past weekend, and I spent much of the day in the hospital Sunday, with the doctors busy slowing contractions that were brought on by the wreck. Prayer would be so appreciated- that our little girl would keep cookin' for two more months and arrive safely. We are so thankful for God's protection and provision, this past weekend and always.

Howdy there! I can't even believe it has been eight months since I've checked in here- see the photo above, if you are wondering why I've been so quiet- taking care of this little one gobbles up most of my time. And its my favorite thing I've ever done in my life! That hair! Can't even count the number of times a day I run my fingers through it, and will it to stay whisper-soft and baby-like and sticking-straight-up-ish forever.
The transition to motherhood has been such a sweet and amazing time for me. I get emotional trying to even grasp at words to describe it. I know everyone always says this, and I never could have understood it until he arrived- the depth of love I feel for him is so incredible and overwhelming there is no way I could have anticipated it. It is almost as if it starts to touch everything in its vicinity, like a spreading vine with little tendrils. I'm so awed and honored to be Silas' mama. Our family is so blessed.
And I'm still working on calligraphy. And loving it. Just fitting it into naptime and bedtime and whatever other time I can squeeze out of the day. I've been working on lots of tattoos and hope to be able to start sharing more work soon in this space. I also have an exciting little collaboration with Kathryn from Blackbird Letterpress which I am thrilled to share with you super soon.
I hope you are well, too, friends! Tell me how you have been. xo

Little Silas.
We are so thrilled to announce the birth of little Silas Nicholas! 7 lbs. 11 oz and 20.5 inches of sweet perfection. There are really no words to express how thankful we are to have him here with us- what a gift straight from our Heavenly Father! These pictures are from the day he was born, and I can't believe almost three weeks have passed since then- it has flown by at a surreal pace. We can't imagine life without him.

walk it off....
Hey there! It has been so long since I posted in this space, so I just wanted to pop in with a little image of a recent project and say a quick hello! I am constantly working on tattoos, in between all my other jobs, but I rarely find the time to post pictures of them. Just wanted to share this recent image- I love the sentiment behind it, and that it is literally tattooed on her foot.
I'm busy wrapping up lots of projects, as we are expecting our baby to arrive in just a couple weeks- so exciting! I have a lot of inspiring, beautiful jobs I've been working on lately, so I'll try to post again soon with some more images. Hope everyone out there is well!

Litterae + Valentines
I'm so ecstatic to share some big news with you! Today I have launched my own little online shop called Litterae, which means "letterforms" in Latin. As my husband teaches Latin, this seemed like the perfect name! I will be selling custom valentines until February 7th, and then will be adding an edited line of stationery products later in the spring. I'm beyond excited about this new venture, and was so thrilled to be able to finally share it here on the blog.
More about the valentines! My darling friend brought me back a stack of old french letters when she came back from visiting Paris this winter, and that is what inspired the theme for the valentine project. The custom valentines include a note scribed in jet-black calligraphy on the back of vintage 1920s postcards from Paris. They are mailed in cream-colored envelopes, lined in handcut, handmade, marbled yellow paper from Bangladesh. The envelopes are sealed with a swath of gold washi tape, and then the whole thing is mailed to the recipient with vintage postage stamps. If your handwriting leaves much to be desired, or you just want to forgo the traditional card route, this is a wonderful solution for you!
The valentines will only be on sale until February 7th, so don't hesitate to snap one up because quantities are limited.
A big thank you to Grace Bonney for her post on Design Sponge this morning!

Happy New Year to you, a bit late! I am so excited for the unfurling of this year; I have high hopes for the many good things that will come out of it. We are so blessed in so many ways- too many ways to count, really! My heart is feeling so full of gratitude for the many blessings in my life as I enter 2012.
Something I'm looking forward to most most most of all is the trip to Italy that Nick and I are taking later this year. We are out of our minds with anticipation, and been listening to Italian tapes to try to learn a bit of the language before we leave. Do you have any recommendations of anything we shouldn't miss? I'd love to hear!

Born With It is my personal fave. Lips actually look fuller and softer. Great stuff and gives just the right amount of burn. Unfortunately, it doesn't last very long and I have to keep replenishing the supply. Still worth it though.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
3 words: i love it!
it's a gorgeous glossy lip gloss and your lips look like it just came out of water and it has this kinda of a 'wet' look to it, (if you catch my drift).
I have this in seductively nude which is a medium-toned nude colour and it's perfect as an 'everyday' gloss.
As for the plumping effect, i didn't really notice much difference in making my lips literally bigger but it did give an illusion of a more voluptuous lip (maybe because of the sheen and glossiness).
I also adore the packaging, where you twist the bottom and droplets of the gloss comes out through a number of 'sifter' like holes. It gets just the right amount of gloss you want therefore, not getting product everywhere.
2 thumbs up! :D
I love this stuff! The plumping effect isn't horribly fake looking, nor does it hurt. The color I have (405, a peachy color) is beautiful and looks great on. The applicator is great, and it's not horribly sticky. It smells yummy, too. Two thumbs up.
More reviews by alittlebitofeyeliner
i have this gloss in four colors: 100 (a shimmery sheer white), 105 (a soft, pale pink), 110 (a sparkly medium pink), and 605 (a lip-toned, shimmery nude). these glosses are my new HG products. they plump a little bit and have a tingly, numbing feel to them, which i actually kind of like. for $8 at wal-mart, this is a pretty good buy.
I was in CVS last week waiting on a prescription and was, of course, tempted by the cosmetics aisle. This was one of the new products from Maybelline and is in a container similar to the regular Shine Seduction glosses, except this one is a dark shiny gray rather than the bright silver, and the clear band where you can see the color sort of "pops out" (I guess to emulate a "plump" look.)
They had a good color selection, ranging from light to dark. The color that I picked was #605, which is called "Nude" something... it's the color that Adriana Lima was wearing in the ad.
Anyway, the color is very nice - more opaque than the regular Shine Seduction glosses, and the formula is a little thicker. It's the same click-pen style and hard slanted plastic applicator, though.
As for plumping, I did notice that my lips tingled after application, though there was not significant plumping. It wasn't a bothersome tingle, though, and the scent of the gloss is sort of like an orange creamsicle (very similar to the scent of Lipfusion glosses).
Overall, I would purchase again, though for serious plumping, I would stick with Lipfusion. For a nice drugstore gloss, this is good.

My group has debated this for a year, and the section in the book is extremely back and forth and not extremely clear. So can someone with experience PLEASE explain to me the combat turn step by step? Thank you.
Ok, how does initiative work in Anima?!
Posted 31 July 2012 - 12:16 PM
Posted 31 July 2012 - 07:41 PM
1). Everyone has a base initiative, which is modified by their Agility and Dexterity modifiers, their weapon choice, armour, situational modifiers, any states they might be in, and any supernatural abilities they're using that might affect it.
2). Each character rolls for initiative and adds the dice result to their starting initiative, to establish their final initiative for that round.
3). The character with the highest initiative decides if they want to act first or hang back (which can be tactically useful). The rest of the players then also do so in order.
4). If any player has beaten an opponent's initiative by 150 or more then he is considered to have Surprise. In that case, if he decides to act as soon as it is his turn, his opponent suffers a -90 penalty against the first opposed active action that the player with Surprise makes (eg Attacking, or using Acrobatics to try to leave the battle etc). If he decides to hang back, he loses that benefit, but gains the benefit of being able to intercept another action at any point in the turn, even after the dice have been rolled (eg if an opponent attacks an ally, and it looks like being successful, he can choose to do the Push Aside manoeuvre to protect his ally).
5). Counterattacks are not affected by initiative, as you can counter as soon as you have successfully defended against an opponent's attack.
6). Any character who fumbles their initiative roll will automatically go last in the turn, and suffers a further penalty to initiative dependant on the level of fumble (which is only used for calculating Surprise).
Hope that all makes sense.
Posted 03 August 2012 - 11:35 PM
Ok, that's the way we were doing it, but the book states twice that you ask for player actions before rolling initiative, once in the table and once in the text i believe. However, it also contradicts itself more than once at the same time in the text. So is the table wrong? Do you roll then ask?
Posted 04 August 2012 - 12:08 AM
The players must declare the number of actions, not the type of actions, before rolling for initiative. But it is a little bit … stupid, because: A player could always declare his maximum number of possible active actions, but only doing less actions (he doesn't get a malus for this).
There are some other cases, which must be declared before rolling for initiative, for example the "charging" maneuver or change of weapons. Usually: Everything which changes the initiative must be declared before rolling for initiative (for example: changing weapons). And everything, who is stated, that it must be declared before rolling for initiative ("charging" for example) must be declared before hand.
Some examples:
- Ki-Techniques which change the initiative (Initiative + OR armor with slowness disadvantages)
- To draw a weapon or change weapons (also to draw a shield)
- Flying with a flight value of 10 or more
and so on.
So long,

On one hand, this is hilarious. On the other hand, it's really, really terrible. I'm conflicted.
The fourth episode of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," TLC's reality show about a self-proclaimed "redneck" family, drew more viewers in a key demographic Wednesday night than vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention drew on Fox News, the nation's biggest cable news network.
Among adults 18-49, the show pulled a 1.3 rating with 2.9 million viewers, according to Nielsen.
The half-hour series is a spinoff from TLC's hit "Toddlers and Tiaras."
Sure, the number of lies in Paul Ryan's speech outnumbered the number of facts 100:1, but the good news is more people were watching Honey Boo Boo than him.
Maybe that's not good news. I'm not sure.

World's-most-famous-twitterer Stephen Fry has a system for handling follow requests: you tweet using the #followmestephen hashtag, and he wades diligently through them, manually following people.
This seems an odd sort of thing to do – most people choose whom to follow based on whether they know them or like what they say, rather than on request – but I suppose when you have over a quarter of a million followers things work a little differently. It also creates lots of work , and looks like an ideal candidate for automation.
I thought I'd have a quick play with the Twitter API this morning (no doubt I'm not the only one), and cobbled together the script below, which you can also download as follow_me_stephen.rb (although if you're not Mr Fry I'm not sure why you would want to). Save the file, and run using ruby follow_me_stephen.rb
I wanted to avoid having too many dependencies, so I didn't use the twitter gem, or the excellent httparty, but I was too lazy to figure out all the XPaths to handle the Atom version of the API. This means you need to have the JSON gem installed, which is as simple as sudo gem install json
(omit the sudo on Windows).
The script's pretty dumb, in that it grabs the whole set of search results every time, and blindly requests to follow everyone, regardless of whether you're already following them.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'net/http'

The Man Who Sold the World: David Bowie's Movie Career Through the Criterion Collection
Criterion Files By Landon Palmer on March 13, 2013 | Be the First To CommentLast week, David Bowie released The Next Day, his first album of entirely original music in a decade. That the seemingly retired former glam-space alien suddenly revealed himself to have laid down a full album's worth of studio sessions in complete secrecy shocked rock journalists and fans of the shape-shifting pop star, inspiring many assessments of Bowie's career at large and what this album means with respect to it. The Thin White Duke himself seems to be engaging in that exact same conversation, as promotional materials around the album incorporate Bowie's past iconography: the cover for The Next Day appropriates the 1977 cover of Heroes with a block of white text over it and the word "Heroes" marked out, and the video for the aptly-titled single "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" features a model imitating 1976-era Bowie and a magazine cover featuring a still of Bowie from the film The Man Who Fell to Earth from the same year. Bowie's multifaceted personae have become manifest through album covers, live performances, and, of course, his diverse and shifting musical stylings. But Bowie, while hardly a traditional rock star/film star hybrid, has also exercised much of his persona through his selective cinematic appearances, which exhibit his chameleonesque performance capabilities across media. Whether playing a WWI veteran in David Hemmings's Just a Gigolo, a vampire in Tony Scott's The Hunger, the Goblin King in Jim Henson's Labyrinth (my childhood introduction to Bowie), Andy Warhol in Julian Schnabel's Basquiat, or Nikola Tesla in Christopher […]

Manjima Chatterjee
"There was food in the fields, babu. There were fruits on the trees. Why didn't they snatch it and eat? Because they really believed in their society, babu..."
Manjima Chatterjee's The Mountain of Bones is a grim commentary on the attitude to food, the deprivation of which is not so much a result of depleted resources as is a combination of misguided policies and misplaced priorities.
The narrative simultaneously occurs in three spaces — a village in which an old woman is telling a young girl a strange fable; a flooded area where a man stranded atop a tree with a young boy awaits rescue; and another where the whole theatre of State machinery, bureaucracy, well-meaning Communists, yes-men and the large, faceless entity called the 'The Hungry Crowd' plays out. There are no speeches, and truths are cloaked in the exaggeratedly ridiculous.
"The State is made up of us; we are the State. This blindness towards something that is so vital to us is something that I find very frustrating, something difficult to deal with or understand. Perhaps that is what's reflecting there," says Manjima. There was another ironic angle that she sought to explore but finally chose not to include — the directly proportional relationship between wealth and disdain for food.
Manjima, who is based in Noida, where she teaches theatre, was previously shortlisted for the MetroPlus Playwright Award 2010 for Limbo , where she looked at marriage through the interactions of three couples. For The Mountain of Bones she says P. Sainath's articles on famine and the farmer suicides in Andhra Pradesh set the course. Research on the subject led her to Bengali writer Manik Bandhopadhyay's short story Chhiniye Khaynee Keno ? (Why didn't they snatch and eat?) from which the concept of 'The Hungry Crowd' originated. The old woman's story about the blind prince and the mountain of bones (from which the play draws its name) is the playwright's interpretation of a tale from Thakurmar Jhuli (Grandmother's Bag), the collection of Bengali folktales.

Primary Color — A Change of Scenery
March 2007 By Erik CagleSenior Editor
For Primary Color, the addition of new "furniture" when it relocates from the California towns of Culver City and Irvine to El Segundo and Costa Mesa is not intended as a cosmetic enhancement. The company has opted to pick up stakes due to a growing problem, which is not a problem as much as it is an opportunity. Primary Color saw its growth skyrocket by 20 percent to nearly $50 million in sales for 2006 and anticipates a similar swell in 2007.
Thus, the "growing problem" was really Primary Color needing more space in order to accommodate customer needs. According to Dan Hirt, company president, it is a measuring stick of success.
"There are two measures of success for Primary Color," Hirt says. "The first is sustained profitable growth, which we encourage by institutionalizing continuous process improvement. The second measure—customer satisfaction—cannot exist without the first."
The company, founded by Walter and Elizabeth Hirt, debuted in 1985 as a prepress operation addressing the needs of the Orange County, CA, market. That was also the year that Dan Hirt, along with brothers Ron (vice president of sales and marketing) and Mike (vice president of production) took the helm from their parents.
Eight-Color Capabilities
Primary Color has since widened its scope to provide a wide range along the product and service spectrum, including eight-color, 40˝ sheetfed work, very-large format output and variable data digital printing.
Its core vertical targets include advertising agencies, major entertainment companies, the automotive sector and corporate marketing communications groups.
With 280 employees operating in a total of 67,000 square feet, Dan Hirt felt the company needed to reevaluate its plant production space. Thus, the decision was made to transfer assets from Culver City to El Segundo this August, followed by the Irvine to Costa Mesa migration in early 2008. The net is a near doubling of manufacturing space, which will burgeon to 120,000 square feet when completed.
"Increased demand for our products and services, coupled with our commitment to providing state-of-the art technologies and workflow processes, led us to the decision to relocate both of our facilities," he explains. "Our El Segundo operation will house sheetfed printing and prepress, while Costa Mesa will focus on digital printing and our large-format group. Costa Mesa will also feature prepress systems that mirror El Segundo. Both facilities will also have fulfillment and distribution capabilities.

Guys, So I tried a plan B version of gritty mix. Turface was/is hard to come by around here. So I tried to replace it with the Napa oil dry. Seemed OK at first but fast forward a month... let's just say I have one heavy bag of trash to take out. So what's a good alternaive? For now I cut MG Cacti with pine bark fines and perlite (thirds). Seems OK but I have feeling I'm in for an education of sorts. Also, even though perlite is airy doesn't it also hold a lot of moisture? Is that OK because it's course? Should I cut in some of the Chicken Grit/granite? I promise I read a lot of Al's work on here and read a lot of posts too. Part that is really making me mad is my plant's I could really care less about are thriving still in store bought or original soil. See I did nothing with them, but ones like my Crassula Tricolor seem weak and spongy to the touch. When I really got to looking the dang thing was holding water toward the bottom of the pot like crazy. Promise I am not a serial waterer. Plant's indoors and get water every 7 to 10 days. It's not getting too much light and the plain Jane Jade sitting right next to in it's original soil is doing great! OK here goes, I can take it! John |
Follow-Up Postings:
Dry stall: found at farm feed and supply stores Sifted course sand: A low % useable after sifting found at lowes or HD near play ground sand labeled as all purpose construction//builders sand Pumice stone: maybe as difficult to find as turface for you I find usually at a bonsai shop For grits like chicken grit : Yes you could Perlite info: Face mask on and rinse the dust then sift it when it's still damp. It does retain moisture to it's highest saturation point is soft enough to expand to the point of saturation but at this point the water will also flow. Is also micro porous allowing its retained moisture to move more freely until completely dry.. Just for an example to briefly describe |

Your plants are indoors you say? Maybe other things are to blame, not the substrate. Poor light, poor ventilation, too warm at night... Also, you say some plants are "thriving". How do you define thriving vs. surviving? Big difference, not always easy to tell though. x |

Hi...I have tried this mix and the plant that I put it in die, it seem to me that the mix suck all the moisture out of the plant...it was a jade about 2 inches round..... I guess I don't understand the mix or how to use it..... good luck with it....linda |

John, Al's Gritty Mix is an excellent base to start with, or one of 1800 known (and there are more being discovered even as we speak about this) soil mixs. So many things can play a part in this, so many ways to achieve growing satisfaction, so there's no one right way, but plenty of wrong ones. I'll write more when I have the chance today, but there are a lot of directions to go. JTLYK, AGM for me makes the plants too thirsty in too short a time, but it is a way to achieve the desired porosity factor. There are others. |
X, You make a great point, environment isn't ideal. All the same top of the pot was bone dry (almost duty) and bottom held a lot of water. Thriving I guess is relative so I'd just say in comparison to similar plants in exactly the same environment. Jeff What is dry stall? Another absorbant? I'm learning guys I appreciate the info! |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, May 13, 13 at 19:02
Hey, John, if the top is bone dry and the bottom still wet, then clearly there was something off with the particle size or the distribution of those particles throughout the container. When I first started making these mixes, I didn't realize how important the screening of the ingredients is. Screening and rinsing Perlite, Turface, Pumice, Scoria, et cetera, has had a marked difference in the way my mixes behave. Any chance you could post a pic of the mix in question, along with a coin or something for scale? I'm most curious about the bark and the difference in size between the ingredients. |
OK so here is the mix. This soil actually had 2 small Kalanchoes in it. These were left overs from a plant that I potted into a nicer pot. I had 2 stems/plants left over so I stuck them in some of my left over mix and put them back in the little 3" plastic pot. After about a week they fell over. Like I said they were left overs so I really didn't care. Eventually (about 3 weeks) they bent back upwards, had lots of new growth up top. Where they had laid down against the ground they put out roots. BUT the roots it already had that I put in the soil did not grow a lick. Also no new roots showing at all from under ground level. I will post a picture of them so you can see what I am talking about. FYI - I know the mix looks off color but I promise you I rinsed and rinsed and rinsed the oil dry and the other components as well. John |
OK here is the plant that came out of the soil above. You can see how it laid down soon after potting then popped back up, put on a little growth every where but the roots. Sad plant I know! |
JG-- The cuttings you show above that you put into your mix are normal, in my opinion. The roots you had previously are too mangled and stuck together to do much more growing in gritty mix, in my opinion. I've had some like this coming out of peat mix soils and for those, whereas others, I was able to cleanly pull apart, prune and plant as is. For yours, I'd have snipped off the roots, pulled off the leaves below the new roots and stood them in gritty mix. As you can see, forming roots in GM is not an issue, as shown by the new roots you have. A month or two like this and you have a fully established cutting. I have not used anything but Turface with GM since reading Al's posts, but it seems a lot of people claim the Napa product works just as well. Screening Turface, in my opinion, is THE most important step as those small bits can really make for a mess. The gritty mix will hold water, and despite how gritty it is, you still need to control watering. I don't think I can overwater to the point of drowning a plant to death like I could in regular potting mixes but I am certain I could overwater some succulents still, to the point of them not being at their best. Case in point: these were from two different small pots I bought where these particular cuttings were really hopeless as far as roots go. Just one small blob that I couldn't separate, so I chopped them off and put them into gritty mix with a couple other cuttings I took. I must water these once a week indoors or so and they look happy, as happy as plants can look anyway. Lol. FWIW, the mix is fir bark, screened Turface and small pebbles as I could not find chicken grit to save my life. Apparently, raising chicken is not popular in SF, haha. :-) I did find crushed granite but it was way too much dust for my liking. Good luck and I wouldn't toss the Napa stuff just yet! :-) Grace |
They look very nice in my view Grace. What is dry stall : in comparison to NAPA dry it's a ticker more stable absorbent that's also micro porous. It's visually chunky and square as well in size but not dust free. I'm still side by side testing stage for Turface VS Dry stall breaking down completely non conclusive IMO but Turface seems to hold and remain longer or Size VS. size turface would be better by size Something is/ was clogging drainage in the older potting mix. Sift and rinse, rinse and sift. As Josh suggested is also urged sometimes this step cant be expressed enough. Wants you to believe I was testing it for it's drought tolerant abilities ( which it is very drought tolerant) but often one does get busy,watering can also be forgotten. |
This post was edited by mrlike2u on Tue, May 14, 13 at 21:55
So what are you guys using to sift the turface, oil dry or dry stall? I'm thinking some old window screen material maybe or do I need something more coarse? I used a kitchen colander to rinse everything last time. Now another question. The Crassula Tricolor in question was really root bound in a 2" square plastic pot. The plant is very full and probably 10" tall. Wouldn't stand up in the pot on its own. I had to lean it up against something. How much of that root ball should be kept? I am thinking that maybe getting rid of some of that is my answer so that I can promote root growth... Oh right you all need a picture right? But it's totally clear in my mind! LOL! John |
OK and this is the plant today. It's looking a good bit better since the other day when I took it out of my poor attempt at gritty mix. You can see how it still kind of looks a bit on the wilted side. I would say it's 50% less wilted today than when I originally posted, should of snapped a picture for the folks in know then. Sorry. I almost forgot. Thanks everyone for such great advice. Having this forum makes this hobby a little more fun! John |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Wed, May 15, 13 at 22:31
It looks fantastic! You are correct about the window screen...aluminum window screen is what I use to sift Turface. Josh |
Thanks Josh! Also thanks to everyone else for the great tips advice and sharing with me. So I guess in the end my mix wasn't all that bad. The missing link seems to be my error of not sifting the oil dry enough. I'm pretty sure it doesn't take much to wash the fine stuff down to the bottom where they start to clog everything up. Back to the drawing board for John. |
John, Attached is what I use. I just happened to have it out right now because I wanted to put one succulent I have in all Turface. :-) The screen was something I bought on Amazon under "bonsai sieve" that I feel works perfectly. I had this one mini window screen I was attempting to use but (1) this particular screen was too fine and would have gotten less than half of what got screened out here; and (2) other people on this forum have some really nifty screening concoctions they made (or had husbands make, haha) that stretched screening over a nice wooden structure to make sifting easy. This bonsai sieve came with four panels that can be interchanged into this round metal holder; shown is the smallest one it offered. Hope that helps, if you should try again. :-) |
Sugi, I have seen those. As a matter of fact Brussels Bonsai is about a half hour from here and I saw it there. Id have to say that's about the simplest and most effective way I can think of. But, being I'm a guy, I'm stubborn, and I think I'm Bob Stinkin Villa I will probably make my own before I break down and buy one in the end! LOL! FYI anyone making a trip to Memphis area should go check out Brussles its awesome. They have some really big money tree's in the green house. Thanks for the advice, |

Hi John! My DH made some screens to use when I make my Gritty Mix and the 5-1-1. They work really well for the large particles, but for the fines from the Turface I use a simple strainer ( kitchen department ) purchased from Target. Thought this pic might help... Good luck! |

I originally got this lipstick to round out my order to get free international shipping from benefit's US website and it was on sale so it was only $10. I love this lipstick, it is a nice nude pink colour but is also for me a great 'my lips but better shade'. It was discontinued but this is probably my favourite lipstick I own. It is also nice and moisturising on my lips and has no fragrance to irritate me with. It'd be nice if it had a bit more staying power but that is only a minor issue really. Such a shame this line has been discontinued.

I initially got this in a sample size, then went and purchased the full size when that ran out. I am very pale with pink undertones and I like how it looks on my lips. I reach for this if I'm not wearing a lot of makeup and i want to look more 'finished' or if I have a bold eye and want a nude lip. It's pretty much always in my purse and I'd be very upset if I lost it. It feels moisturizing, as some others have said. My only issue with it is that I wish the lasting power was better. While it feels moisturizing, it also feels kind of slippery on the lips and needs reapplying maybe once an hour, for me.

Purchased this as part of the "Lip Lotto" set that Ulta was offering for Black Friday and I absolutely love it. I got 3 full size BeneFit lipsticks for $18 and all 3 colors are gorgeous, smooth to apply, well pigmented, moisturizing and wear like a dream. Stay power is about 3 hours before reapplying becomes necessary, sooner if you eat or drink. I really like this color, it is a beautiful beige/brown toned nude without pink or peach undertones, just very neutral and I love it. I can't get over how moisturizing this formula is and now I am kicking myself for not trying BeneFit's lipsticks earlier!

I bought this lipstick a long time ago, but I wasn't using it because it looked to brown on me. I know use it as a blush and it's a perfect color!
I swipe the lipstick on the back of my hand and I tap a small stippling brush in it. It looks so good. It gives a perfect dusty rose colour to the cheeks!

I've had all kinds of problems trying to find the perfect nude lipstick. Usually they are either too light and corpse like or too brown. This is the perfect shade of pink with a hint brown. It's a mlbb for me. It's not too dark for my fair skin and not concealer light. I love it. As for the formula it's nice and glossy, definitely not matte like some reviews are saying. It's somewhere between a gloss and a lipstick on the lips. It's not drying and has reasonably good staying power.

Ohh... I soooo wish I had the right skin color to pull this color off.
When I tried it on my hand, it looked like an amazing color. The texture is really creamy too. Unfortunately, after I bought it and tried it on myself, I looked really sickly. I thought I could pull the color off as I have fair-ish skin.
And because the lipstick is considered a little more expensive than usual to me, I've taken to applying a Nivea lip balm that gives off a sheer-but-strong-enough red as a base before applying Lady's Choice over it. Works like a charm, and the shade is now perfect!

This lipstick is amazing. It has a really nice shine (but is not overly glossy), is really creamy and goes on amazing. It makes my lips look really full and nice and is great to wear if you've done up your eyes. This colour is gorgeous because it is nude but doesn't look too browny or yelllowy, it has a nice pinkish shad and i LOVE it.

This is my favorite nude/neutral lipstick! I first got the sample and then just HAD to have a full size. It is not super pale, so I don't look sick. It seems to have a hint of a rosy tone to it. The formulation is a little heavy, but non-drying. I love the feel of it when I put it on.

I am not planting a garden this year because I am sick all my hard work going to keep the deer nice and fat!
I am wondering about this http://bluebarrelgarden.weebly.com/ If I put these up on my high deck it would keep the deers out and I could still have a few home grown veggies. I have access to lots of these drums, but have a few questions. How do you know if the plastic is safe? What is timothy? Do I need to drill drain holes, and should I put gravel for drainage in the bottom? Thanks for all your help. |

First off GOOGLE timothy. Do not put rocks/gravel in the bottom, as this does absolutly nothing to help drainage.Yes,you need drainage holes . Probably best to cut drums in half as this will give you two planters able to hold twenty gallons or so of potting mix each. Or you could try these deer deterents. Hot Pepper Wax used in conjunction with Coyote Urine seems to be the most effective. also Irish spring soap in the garden |

Better calculate the total weight on your deck and determine it will not damage it over time. Al |

Best Place to Dance the Night Away Denver 2001 - Mercury Cafe
From swing to salsa, dance crazes come and go with an almost Swiss precision. (We're still awaiting the return of the Freddy.) At the advance of each new wave, the Mercury Cafe is ready, opening its funky doors to dancers of all persuasions. While swing and lindy hop are still going strong, tango currently reigns supreme in Marilyn Megenity's luscious eatery/bar/cabaret on California Street, with weekly milongas, classes for dancers of all levels (from beginners to very advanced) and the occasional opportunity to learn from a visiting Argentine master. The Merc still shines brightly in the firmament of local nightlife.

Homeland Security trains thousands of Americans at this facility each year to enhance the ability of communities to manage significant emergencies and disasters, both manmade and natural.
Clark completed the Emergency Management Institute's Advanced Public Information Officers Course in Emmitsburg, Md., on April 4.
This advanced course builds on the foundations established in Basic Public Information Officers by focusing on public information responsibilities in large-scale emergencies.
This is accomplished through a series of lectures and simulation exercises. Lecture topics include legal issues, risk communication, interpersonal skills, effective communication in emergencies, media relations and use of the joint information system. Participants participate in a simulation exercise.
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages Citizen Corps, the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.
Clark has served as the public information officer for The Bradley County Emergency Medical Service for the past six years.
He is also a paramedic and has been in the emergency business for 29 years.
"Our local media does an outstanding job. I have been fortunate over the past few years to have developed great relationships with our local newspaper and all of the Chattanooga television news outlets," Clark said.
