Ordering for a Team? Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
I swim 1 mile a day. On average i could make it 3 laps/6 lengths before my goggles would fog slightly and at about 10 laps/20 lengths they would fog to the point where i can barely make out the markers on the pool bottom(just see enough to do my laps).I received the defogger. Did exactly what the directions said to do one drop on each lens and wiped them down with a microfiber towel. I swam 33 laps/66 lengths before even the slightest bit of fogging. At the end of the mile there was only a tiny bit of fog at the outer edges of the lens.I swim in 1/2 mile sets and only took the goggles off once for 1 minute and dunked them before putting them back on then finished my workout.I am in LOVE with this product and will definitely buy more as long as it continues to perform.
Amazing.I put a drop in each cup just before I leave the change room. Buff it with the corner of my towel (takes all of 25 seconds). BAM.No fog the entire 1-2 hours in the pool. I usually don't take them off during kick, though I don't remember them fogging up when I do. As long as you don't get the insides wet, it is perfect. Plus who needs to take their goggles off when you can see through them?!?!This stuff. Is actually worth it's weight in gold. If I forgot it at home, I'd actually be tempted to just not go swimming, that's what a difference this stuff makes!3!!
These are the best de-fogging drops I have ever used
I use one drop on each lens of my swim goggles when they're clean and dry spread the gel out and let dry then buff with a soft cloth the night before swimming I get 2-3 days with one application fog free, its nice to see the end of the pool or another swimmer while lap swimming often sharing a lane
It works great - even in the coolest water. One application lasts at least a week for me. Love it.
- You can apply this anti-fog the night before whatever it is you need anti-fog for. For example, if you have swim practice the next day, applying it the night before works perfectly, dry by the time you use the goggles.- What's really nice about this anti-fog is that it can last 2 days instead of the typical 1-day use.- Instructions are on the back of the bottle so you don't have to worry about that. You just put one drop of this thick stuff onto each of your lens and spread it.- See other reviews about applying it right before your event. I'm not sure about eye irritation or quick effectiveness because my applications are always dry by the time I use them.
Worked as advertised. Very satisfied.
I use this defogger after every swim. It works perfectly. No complaints at all. Just takes a drop.
works well ,I use it every time.
I can't believe how well this works! It keeps the fog away through long workouts. You do have to reapply every time you swim.

Accessories and Documentation
In that black box of hardware found in the HDD bays you get this as part of what is included. You are given an adapter for the 5.25"Âť drives for a card reader, solid plugs to replace the water cooling grommets and an 8-pin EPS extension cable.
You are also given five tie straps, four thumbscrews and a set of standoffs on the left. In the middle are four fan screws, bay adapter screws, PSU screws and HDD screws. On the right you are given screws for mounting SSDs in the HDD trays and the motherboard screws.
This is the 5.25"Âť to 3.5"Âť adapter that Nanoxia sends in the lowest of the ODD bays. The large holes on the outside allow you to pass the screwdriver through to mount the device, then with either the tool-free clips or screws to secure the adapter into the bays.
To mount the 3.5"Âť drives you need the screws with the threads cut at the end of a blank stud. This will allow the blank part to ride in the rubber grommets and also make sure you don't over tighten them. The four small holes drilled into the steel are what you would use for 2.5"Âť drive mounting.
This full set of instructions with color photography to help you along has got to be the most detailed set of instructions to come with any case that I can recall.
The manual starts with an introduction, gives the specifications, offers an easy to follow accessories guide, goes into the features, and even explains about the noise absorbing measures taken in the DS1.
Now the first half of the thick manual is in German, but in the English section you can see that they cover every little detail about how the DS1 works. Great images always help, but the long detailed text will answer any questions that the images may bring.
They even go as far as to show how all of the options work, even explaining a bit about the fan control wiring, optional fan placement, and even how to work the I/O panel if pressing on the raised marker on the top of it doesn't come to you.

Version and / or Patch Used: 1.00.1035BETA
Developer Homepage: http://www. aida64.com
Product Homepage: http://www.AIDA64.com
Replacing Everest in our labs is AIDA64. This new testing suite is from the core development team from Lavalys and continues that tradition. The guys have thrown in better support for multithreaded CPUs as well as full 64 bit support. We use this to test memory and HDDs for now, but may find ourselves opening this up to other areas of the motherboard.
Thanks to the XFast technology that ASRock offer, USB 2.0 performance is extremely strong. Looking at the SSD side of things, we can also see strong performance, but in this case it lines up more with the other boards than standing out like the USB 2.0 performance.

I'm writing a book on magic, I explain, and I'm asked, Real magic? By real magic people mean miracles, thaumaturgical acts, and supernatural powers. No, I answer: Conjuring tricks, not real magic. Real magic, in other words, refers to the magic that is not real, while the magic that is real, that can actually be done, is not real magic.
― Lee Siegel, 'Net of Magic: Wonders and Deceptions in India'
I can only assume he was overshadowed by his peers due to their personalities and styles of bowling
Oh for a strong arm and a walking stick
Do you guys try too hard to appear cool when you leave out widely accepted ATG players with gun stats in favor of lesser acclaimed cricketers with decidedly inferior stats, typically from many generations earlier? Srs question.
RIP Phil Hughes. Forever 63*
Not everyone can be in the top 5. And if I knock off, say Hadlee, to make room for Garner then the pro-Hadlee brigade will start to jump up and down.
The truth is - these lists are arbitrary and cannot be set in concrete. One of the obvious reasons is that the actual and real difference in strength between the ATG bowlers is so small as to be almost meaningless.
And on that note, I've changed my mind - Snow into the top 15 and Larwood out.

Hobbs | Hutton*^ | Hammond^ | Compton | Barrington | Botham5^ | Knott | Trueman1 | Laker4 | Larwood2 | Barnes3
some bowlers are really under rated for some reason. Alan Davidson for e.g. Tbf I never saw him bowl but he seems to come quite low down the pecking order than his stats would suggest. Richie Benaud and Bradman both rated Wasim Akram as better than him IIRC
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
I am humbled that my opinions are sought, so feel obliged to express them (although I would have done anyway )
First question is are we picking the eleven greatest players or the greatest team - for me its the latter so
1.Jack Hobbs
Wonderful record and reputation, of course, and noted for his skill against good bowling or in unfavourable conditions.
2.Len Hutton
I'd rate him the best English batsman ever, for reasons I've articulated elsewhere, but can't find
3.Douglas Jardine
As an Englishman I pick the best captain and then ten to play with him - the fact that Jardine's batting is massively underrated is just a bonus - he'll marshall this bunch superbly. He'll bat at three if one of the openers goes early, but lower down if they see off the new ball OK
4.Wally Hammond
Another genuine ATG and a top slipper - can't be putting too many down at this standard - will also lead England's challenge to Warne and Miller in the Lothario stakes
5.Denis Compton
So many reasons he has to be picked - a bit like a likeable and stylish version of KP - he'll be able to score runs off the likes of O'Reilly and McGrath when the others are tied down, will bamboozle the occasional batsman with his chinaman, terrific right wing and will be Hammond's wingman in the shagathon
6.Ian Botham
Version 1977-1981 - peerless batsman, bowler and slipper - what's not to love
7. Alan Knott
Best wicketkeeper I've ever seen by a distance - wonderful unorthodox bat too, at his best in a crisis
8.Harold Larwood
Finest quick the game has seen, and Jardine wouldn't go on the field without him
9.Jim Laker
Give him a bit of help and he's irresistable - best off spinner ever - never needed a doosra - spun the ball prodigously and batsman could never relax
10. Hedley Verity
Same as Laker but the other way round and, perhaps, just a tad tighter.
11. Brian Statham
Like Glen McGrath only better, and he's a Lancastrian as well - possibly the most underrated bowler in the history of the game - will be a perfect foil for Larwood's expresses and Botham's variety
Spare man - Derek Randall - if you've got spinners as good as Laker and Verity you don't mind if its essentially a seamer's wicket so twelfthers has to be the best fielder I have ever seen
Yeah if you think they are the two best individually I don't have any concerns with anyone picking them, it just felt like some players were getting picked as a combo at the expense of other greats who might be better. Its like including Haynes in all time Windies XI to bat with Greenidge.
Last post or two I was talking about Crickets lack of individualism, but I wonder if Simpson helped make Lawry better? Did Hayden made Langer a better batsman? I think Taylor was a great foil for Slater too.

Reading cookingrvc's list of appetizers for the cocktail party for 60, the Mini Mac and Cheese bites caught my eye.
Every year I host a winter party with Turducken as the main course and every year I look for a new appetizer to try. When I saw the Mac & Cheese bites I thought they'd be a perfect fit for my meat and potatoes crowd but I'd like to make them with a twist. I'd like to make Lobster Mac & Cheese bites. My concerns/thoughts are:
Here's the recipe cookingrvc posted: Mini Mac and Cheese Bites
Any thoughts? |

This reminds me that you said you'd try to take and post step by step photos next time you make it. Hint, hint! As for the lobster, just a guess but I'm thinking I'd slightly undercook the lobster, say steam 10 minutes instead of 15, chop pretty small and I think you'll be fine. |
FOAS, Thanks. That's right I did say I post photos next time I make a Turducken. I have some bad news though...my husbands's nephew is the general manager at a large butcher shop. I taught him how to make them and all their stores sold out during the holidays. Since he is attending the party, he volunteered to make one at the butcher shop for me. Hence I won't have any pictures for you this year. Sorry! Since he's using my recipe, it'll be just like I made it. I hope... |
Hi All, Thought I'd share an update: I did a couple quick half batches for yesterday's football group. The first batch I stuck to the recipe except I added the lobster. The second batch got the thumbs up, I made the following changes: Brushed the muffin tin with melted butter instead of spraying with PAM. Dusted with Progresso Parmesan bread crumbs instead of grated parmesan. The bites held up better. Used 3/4 cup of diced lobster plus more for garnish. Added a tbs. of very finely minced onion sauteed in the butter before I added the flour. Added just a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the cheese sauce. Topped each bite with extra diced lobster before baking. Cooled bites 10 minutes instead of 5 before removing from the pan. I wish I had thought to take pictures... FYI-A whole recipe makes 48 bites using a mini muffin tin. |

Moosemac, Thanks for sharing the results. If these make it back in the menu I will use your changes. Sue |

My only incredibly minor thought is that smoked paprika is amazing and does not compare to regular. It's become my favorite spice recently and I can't say enough about it. |
I have to admit, I used regular paprika...that's probably why it needed a little extra flavor from the worcestershire. I'm going to see if I can find some smoked paprika locally so I can use it. I forgot to mention but the lobster is cooked lobster. I did as FOAS suggested and steamed it until just cooked. I dried it very well before dicing and patted it dry again before I folded it in. |

I've bought it locally, McCormick's fancy, glass jar brand. Spanish paprika. |

Hi everyone,
I posted some photos of early blooming irises on the AIS blog today. If you have any interest, the link is below. Happy Spring! Renee |
Here is a link that might be useful: World of Irises
Follow-Up Postings:
Renee, all I can say is W-O-W!!! Your Iris are amazing, and your garden is absolutely beautiful: I love the lines, the river rocks by your pond, the positioning of plants - just gorgeous! I know purple Iris is dominant one, but purple and black are my absolute favorites. So, lets see which will dominate - purple or back (I have started adding Iris to my garden recently). Thanks for the pictures - I feel like placing another order through Schreiner's :). |

Your garden is spectacular! I love everything. OT: I see the Yuban coffee cans that you have the Irises planted in and that reminds me of home -in So. California. My Grannie drank Yuban. :) Your garden is so neat and tidy. I like the combo of the Pinkish-Red and Blue-Violet irises myself. Stunning! Wish I could plant my Agaves in the garden and see them grow to full size like yours. I have to keep mine in pots and take them in in the Fall here. But, I am glad to have them, just the same - a little bit of home to enjoy in my Oklahoma garden. :) Everything is picture perfect. |

Today, I discovered several of my Irises making blooms - it was overnight! I can't wait! They are so beautiful, but I also adore their fragrances. Please post when your new ones open. ~Annie |
Renee, each time you post photos I drool and wish I lived in California so I could see your garden regularly. Your garden is so inspiring and always gorgeous. Some day you may just see me standing on your doorstep begging for a tour! LOL!! |

Everyone at work is talking about the lottery and saying what they would do if they won. They can't believe I would quit my job, pack up my family, buy a motorhome and go across country to visit all your gardens! There are so many place I'd love to visit and what an extra treat if there is a GW friend's garden along the way. A person can dream, can't they?!! |
What a beautiful yard. I like how wild it looks. |

Good Flavor
We ate these straight out of the can. I have not had the opportunity to re-hydrate them because they never made it that far. The can was gone in days. It is obvious by the taste that it will make a good pie filling or a good crumble with a little corn starch to thicken the juice you get from re-hydration Not sure if you will need sugar at all these were pretty sweet on their own. I will say that there are peels on the apples. Some things would be better to fix if there were not any peels. All in all excellent to put into food storage.

Great tasting healthy snack!
I just received my order today and couldn't wait to open a can of these cinnamon apple dices. They are super crunchy, light and sweet, with the perfect amount of cinnamon. These will be perfect for snacking, adding to trail mix, or to make deserts. I'm so glad I went ahead and bought 12 cans for the sale price!

Comfort in a Can
Great by itself and good for you. Cinnamon brings many health benefits as well. I am planning on cooking for a chunky applesauce side dish or in a crumble for a dessert.

Pulitzer Prize-Winner Charlie LeDuff Plagiarizes Himself
Pulitzer Prize-Winner Charlie LeDuff Plagiarizes Himself
Charlie LeDuff is a former New York Times writer, a current Detroit News writer and the type of person who puts his ethnic heritage in his bio. He's also a Pulitzer Prize-winner, which pairs nicely with his newest title: goddamn plagiarist.
In a borderline-racist video piece accompanying his new article, "To urban hunter, next meal is scampering by," which profiles a Detroit hunter and peltmonger whose game of choice is raccoon, LeDuff makes sure to put on a grand show about how silly and gross he finds the Coon Man's life. After demanding that the hunter kiss the skinned carcass of his latest catch, LeDuff then sits down to a freshly prepared coon meat dinner with the old gentleman. "Do you like it?" asks the kind hunter who generously invited LeDuff into his home and cooked for him. LeDuff will only reply, "This is…something," before making secret, dramatic, terrified eyes to his cameraman. Ha ha ha! Educated people are repulsed by that poor black guy's food! Isn't that hilarious?
We understand the classist bullshit far too well, but one major thing confuses us: shouldn't LeDuff have known he wasn't going to like raccoon after eating in pursuit of an eerily similar story about a decade ago for the Times?
On the coon mens' homes
NY Times:
Nestled among the million-dollar homes of this old Victorian whaling village is Mr. Dam's suburban Appalachia, filled to the gunwales of its four acres with motors, mounted animals, whale oil lamps, wine casks, beehives and berry bushes.
Detroit News
His little Cape Cod is an urban Appalachia of coon dogs and funny smells. The interior paint has the faded sepia tones of an old man's teeth; the wallpaper is as flaky and dry as an old woman's hand.
On the taste of coon
NY Times
For the curious and coon connoisseur alike, one of the few places to procure this meat, which tastes something like a mix of pork and mutton, is from Hank Dam the trapper man…
Detroit News
He believes coon meat tastes something like mutton or pork [Ed: So do you; you said so 10 years ago.], but to the uneducated pallet, it has the aroma and texture of opossum.
On coon meat fans
NY Times
His clientele ranges from bristle-faced outdoorsmen to transplanted Southerners who consider the meat something of a delicacy.
Detroit News
…Beasley says he hunts coons and rabbit and squirrel for a clientele who hail mainly from the South, where the wild critters are considered something of a delicacy.
The part where crazy rambling doesn't seem so crazy
NY Times
"With the bunny huggers making a squawk about the business and the destruction of natural habitat, I'm about what's left," says the 77-year-old Mr. Dam, who now earns most of his income removing nuisance critters from attics and chimneys. "Can't make a living off the land if it's covered in blacktop. … It don't make a lick of sense…"
Detroit News
"Coon or rabbit. God put them there to eat. When men get hold of animals he blows them up and then he blows up. Fill 'em so full of chemicals and steroids it ruins the people. It makes them sick. Like the pigs on the farm. They's 3 months old and weighing 400 pounds. They's all blowed up. And the chil'ren who eat it, they's all blowed up. Don't make no sense."
We guess LeDuff's operating under the motto "Once you win the Pulitzer, fuck it."
I've never heard of this guy until this morning but it's a bit appalling that, being in the business of the written word and all, he can't spell. An 'educated pallet'? Really? I tried to educate my pallet once and it just layed there like a small platform begging to be loaded up. Where did I go wrong?
I used to kind of like LeDuff's writing in the Times. But then he got caught plagiarizing a story about the Los Angeles River and came off as a world-class douche bag on Colbert and now he's dead to me. Good to see he's still up to the same old games.
leduff has quite a resume: a proven instance of actual plagurism acknowledged by the NYT, a close friendship with Jayson Blair when they were both part of the NYT affirmative action internship program, and here in detroit he's been caught in several scandals (including several notable falsehoods in a story about a dead body in a warehouse that he tried to turn into a Pulitzer series on the homeless a la Scott Templeton on the last season of The Wire).
in this instance, he poached the story of the "coon man" in question from a local blogger who featured the guy just a few weeks before leduff (the blogger's story was published in the local alternative weekly):
He's your typical suburban detroit douchebag reporter, in this case trying to stage a comeback as a hardboiled gonzo Charles Kuralt swooping down from his safe white suburb into the dark, black city to write about all those crazy colored people and their hilariously offbeat ignorance.
they should award fanofgrendel a lifetime pulitzer price and one of those nobel prizes two cause hes the best
him and me got some stuff to discus smore moremoremoremore
my head hurts real bad on fridatys

I didn't plant enough filler flowers last year, so I started cutting some of my smaller broom corn and put it in my mixed bouquets. I planted my broom corn pretty close together so it didn't get very big and bushy anyway. Everyone seemed to really like the way it looked, because I sold 14 bouquets in about an hour. Have any of you tried broom corn as a filler? Here is a picture of how it looked.[IMG]http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g343/gardengirl7/fashionshow114.jpg[/IMG] |
Follow-Up Postings:
I used it last year. Like you, I planted mine close together (in pots, no less!) so it was smaller. I really liked it in the fall bouquets with sunflowers, zinnias, and dahlias (well, the few dahlias I got last year!). I'm growing it again this year and will give it more room to grow! BTW, I can't see your photos. Can you try to repost them? I'd love to take a look! :) |

Dido here, planted too close = small stems. I plan on growing black and red along with the yellow this year. It may work out easier than growing amaranthus. |
You did a really nice job with the bouquets, gardengirl. I saw a sorghum bicolor called broom corn in Johnny's catalog and also something they call colored uprights. I ordered the colored upright seeds and hope I can use them as effectively as you did the broom corn. I would enjoy seeing more of your bouquets sometime. ThinMan |
- Posted by gardengirl77 5 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 10, 11 at 22:47
Thanks for the compliment on my bouquets, ThinMan. I saved out several stocks of my Broom Corn last fall so that I can use the seeds off them for planting more this spring. The seed is so easy to harvest by hand....and it is always nice to save some money on seeds by using your own instead of buying them. I will have to get some more pictures this year to share with all of you. I always enjoy seeing what other farmers do with their flowers too! |
Yes, Gardengirl, I agree with ThinMan - your bouquets are beautiful! Nice job! Thinman, I think (can't quite remember, lol) that I ordered the colored upright seed too - at least I had it on my list. I really need more space. Sigh... :) |

Cyprus has 4 days to find bailout solution
By MENELAOS HADJICOSTIS and ELENA BECATOROS Associated Press March 21, 2013 9:42AM
People queue at an ATM outside a closed Laiki Bank branch in capital Nicosia, Cyprus, Thursday, March 21, 2013. The European Central Bank says it will keep emergency aid for Cyprus' troubled banks in place at least until Monday but will have to cut it off after that unless an international rescue program is drawn up.

Updated: March 21, 2013 9:42AM
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — Cyprus has four days to agree on a new plan to raise funds to avoid bankruptcy, with the European Central Bank warning Thursday it will pull the plug on the country's banks at the start of next week if no solution is found.
Facing the ultimatum, the Cypriot government was racing to cement a new package that will please both Parliament and the country's potential international creditors.
Amid indications that the new plan will include restructuring Cyprus' troubled second-largest lender, Laiki, long lines of people formed at the bank's ATMs in the center of the capital.
"We need cash. We have families, children, grandchildren and expenses, and the banks have been closed since Saturday," said Andri Olympiou.
Banks have been shut since an initial bailout plan last weekend proposed raiding bank deposits, raising howls of outrage. They will remain closed until Tuesday to prevent a run. Although ATMs have been functioning, many often run out of cash.
"I've been to five ATMs, looking for the one with the smallest queue. The others had really long queues, at least 40 or 50 people," said Peter Larkin, a Nicosia resident waiting in line with his 5-year-old daughter.
Leaders of Cyprus' political parties met with the president to consider a range of measures that could raise the 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion) needed to qualify for 10 billion euros ($12.9 billion) in rescue loans from the eurozone partners and the International Monetary Fund.
The "Plan B" will likely include restructuring Cyprus' troubled banks, some form of Russian help, dipping into pension funds and taking up an offer from Cyprus' wealthy Orthodox church to contribute. Some form of tax on bank deposits is also possible.
Another measure agreed on Thursday was the creation of an "Investment Solidarity Fund" that would appeal for donations from ordinary Cypriots, businessmen and foreign investors, said Demetris Syllouris, head of a small right-wing party who was in the meeting with the president.
The legal and technical details were still being worked out, and the bill will be reviewed by the Cabinet Thursday evening, government spokesman Christos Stylianides said.
A "Plan B" is needed after lawmakers soundly defeated the earlier proposal to seize up to 10 percent of all domestic deposits to raise the 5.8 billion euros.
"We will have a program of support for Cyprus by Monday," central bank governor Panicos Demetriades said as he left the meeting with the president and political party leaders.
However, it seemed unlikely a deal would be reached in time for a vote during Parliament's regular Thursday session.
"Today, no, I don't think so," said Averof Neophytou, deputy head of the governing DISY party, when asked if a deal could be reached and voted on by the evening.
Russia is likely to pitch in, though its contribution will be smaller than originally hoped for, Cypriot officials have said. Nearly a third of the 68 billion euros ($88 billion) in deposits in Cyprus' oversized banking sector are held by Russians.
Cyprus' finance minister, Michalis Sarris, has been in Moscow since Tuesday seeking to forge a deal.
Russia's help would not be a loan, but rather some form of an investment, Sarris told Cypriot state broadcaster CyBC on Thursday. He is due to meet with his Russian counterpart, Anton Siluanov, and the Russian energy minister later in the day.
Russia news agency ITAR-Tass quoted him as saying that "we are discussing the subjects of gas, bank cooperation and other subjects." Cyprus has recently discovered significant off-shore gas deposits, and major energy companies have shown an interest in tapping those resources.
Cyprus' troubled banks have enough money until Monday after the European Central Bank said it will switch off its lifeline on Monday unless an international rescue is in place. The ECB is keeping the Cypriot banks alive by allowing them to draw on emergency support from the local central bank.
In Brussels, the head of the 17-nation eurozone's finance ministers Jeroen Dijsselbloem, said the ECB was doing "as much as they can within their mandate."
He also told lawmakers at the European Parliament that a one-time tax on bank deposits was "inevitable" given Cyprus' oversize financial sector, though said the burden should be shifted toward taxing big bank deposits of about more than 100,000 euros.
An amended bill that would have exempted deposits of under 20,000 euros in the bank was turned down by lawmakers Tuesday.
Petros Giannakouris in Nicosia, Juergen Baetz in Brussels, David McHugh in Frankfurt and Jim Heintz in Moscow contributed to this report.

The Advantages of Home Health
If given the choice of recuperating at home or in the hospital, most people would choose the familiar surroundings of their own home. Studies indicate that the comfort and security a patient finds at home maximizes the healing process. Home Health care gives patients the opportunity to remain at home and receive treatment under the supervision of their physician.
The patient's recovery depends greatly on the family working together with the health care team to promote a return to optimal health and/or independence.
Home Health care begins with a qualified medical professional evaluating and coordinating a plan of care.
Augusta Health's Home Health program has many years of experience providing care in our community plus a dedicated, highly skilled staff ready to meet your needs.

This past weekend saw the opening of the Graphic Design: Now in Production—an extensive new exhibition that examines the remarkable growth of the field over the past decade—at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN. "This major international exhibition explores how graphic design has broadened its reach dramatically over the past decade, expanding from a specialized profession to a widely deployed tool."
Peter Buchanan-Smith - Best Made American Felling Axes (2009)
This phenomenon is attributable to several factors, from the advent of Web 2.0 to the accessibility of software tools to "innovations in publishing and distribution systems," which has enabled "people outside the field... to create and publish visual media." Conversely, "designers are becoming producers: authors, publishers, instigators, and entrepreneurs employing their creative skills as makers of content and shapers of experiences."
Graphic Design: Now in Production explores design-driven magazines, newspapers, books, and posters as well as branding programs for corporations, subcultures, and nations. It also showcases a series of developments over the past decade, such as the entrepreneurial nature of designer-produced goods; the renaissance in digital typeface design; the storytelling potential of titling sequences for film and television; and the transformation of raw data into compelling information narratives.
Daniel Eatock - Felt-Tip Print (2006) & Pantone Pen Print (2006)
The curatorial team consists of Ian Albinson (artofthetitle.com), Andrew Blauvelt (Walker Art Center, Jeremy Leslie (9magCulture.com), Ellen Lupton (Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum) and Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez-Palacio of Brand New. Together, they've selected works from over 200 designers, dating to no earlier than 2000, for the massive exhibition, which runs until January 22, 2012.
Graphic Design: Now in Production is the largest museum exhibition on the subject since the Walker's seminal 1989 exhibition Graphic Design in America: A Visual Language History, and the Cooper-Hewitt's 1996 comprehensive survey, Mixing Messages: Graphic Design in Contemporary Culture. Appropriately, this exhibition is being developed jointly with the Cooper-Hewitt.
Sarah Illenberger - Infographic for "The Truth about Sex" for Neon Magazine (2008)
Jop van Bennekom - Fantastic Man #1 & #2 (2005)
Christopher Doyle - Christopher Doyle Identity Guidelines 2008

Metahaven - Uncorporate Identity (2010)
The Walker has also done a nice job documenting the exhibition on their blog, including a series of preview posts and installation shots.

Rules of the Jungle
The Rules for Mists of Zanaga are Now Available for Download |
Runebound | Published 24 June 2010 |
"You are a stranger to these lands," the mahkim said, his eyes narrowing. "You must learn the ways of the jungle before it swallows you. Many of my people will not hesitate to end your expeditions should they interfere with our rituals. But, should you aid us...we may just be able to cleanse Zanaga of Tarakhe once and for all!"
Welcome to the jungle!
Mists of Zanaga, FFG's newest Runebound expansion, will be in stores soon. Runebound players can now prepare themselves for a whole new world of adventure! Stop by the Runebound support page to download the rules (pdf, 2.8 mb).
Tarakhe is corrupting everything on the forgotten continent of Zanaga, from native tribes to once-docile beasts. It is now the most savage of wilderness. To survive, you must first learn the ways...
Runebound is a fantasy adventure game for 2-6 players in which heroes race about the lands of Terrinoth in an attempt to prevent the resurrection of the evil Dragonlord, Margath. As they encounter the various creatures and traps about the countryside, they will gain new skills and may acquire an exciting array of allies, weapons, and armor to assist them.
Yep, those rules give us a nice preview of whats in the box. I must say - those new minis are looking cool.
Yay, that means the game is coming soon!
The new mechanics are innovative and fresh! A similar mechanic to this that would keep the AO hidden for a while in Arkham Horror would be great too.
The encounters include some interesting twists too. I hope this breathes new life into the franchise.
The only downside is that all the small box encounters won't be compatible (unless FFG decides to go back and add terrain markers to those cards), but any items or characters should still be compatible, I believe.
Those rules are well written, I like the new mechanics ALOT!
Looking forward to buying it!
Cool. I wish I'd kept my Runebound collection. :(

I have quite a few plants kept indoor because of frost advisory for my county. Some are veggies (newly planted and seedlings) and some are just house plants (that has been indoor all through the winter). My question is----do these plants cause allergies, because I see that I have allergy symptoms. To be clearer, these house plants do not cause any allergies during winter. And in early spring and early fall I do get allergies when exposed to outside. Any advice? Thanks

I suspect that the plants that you brought in had a lot of tree pollen that had fallen on them. Maybe, maybe not??? Another thought is that sometimes allergies develop unexpectedly. With house plants, it's usually the mold that grows in the dirt, not the plant itself. I can't have house plants because it's almost impossible to keep the soil free from the mold spores and I am very allergic to it now. I didn't used to be. It just started and gradually got worse. |
Sounds like you might be allergic to pollen and/or ragweed. My daughter gets allergy symptoms in the spring until all the leaves are on the trees. |
