S-P-O-I-L-E-R-S!! (for practically the whole series)
Hoshino has thrown us again. At first, we thought Allen was a very open person. The way he talked, acted and reacted all pointed towards him being the sort of person who was very open, very reactive and interactive with other people and willing to pour his heart out to anyone. His revalations and changes in personality were very rare, and usually caused by great stress, and thus, we hardly ever noticed them, and like Kanda, we pinned him a a relatively passive, halfway naive boy. We decided subconsciously to ignore how odd it was for a fifteen year old to act so fixed and in place, ruling it out as the trauma in childhood forcing him to grow up too quickly
Later, after Crowned Clown awakened, we all got the feeling we didn't know him at all, after all, never before had be expressed fear of death and panic about anything, only suprise and maybe a rising sense of urgency when the need was presented. After Crowned Clown, we noticed we hadn't really been able to pin why exactly Allen acted as he did. We got clown and mask references and started realizing he had been hiding a bit of himself from everyone, including us. Because in manga, we are used to having everything about a character revealed almost immediately, and more importantly, all at once, we automatically thought that we had seen every sight of Allen that he had, savior, destroyer, scared, angry and hopeful. Deceptive, playful, and, of course, clownish.
When the 14th arc first came around, we still believed to know everything about Allen, despite only seeing about once full scene from his past. We brushed all that off and so, were surprised at learning he and Mana had written another language. We had it adamantly in our minds as the trial grew nearer, that Allen's soul was ' pure' and his love 'completely unconditional'. However, we had already gotten a frickin' huge hint of what was going to happen to him.
It's as though like the light, one day, you're going to disappear.
Lavi fans? This ring any bells? Well, Lavi got it dead on. Light doesn't last forever, and as we were then, Allen was all light. All light and horrible sadness.
As the trail approached, we saw a scene from Allen's past, where he meets a clown. All signs point to the clown being Mana, but they never said any names, and so, this cant be confirmed. It's equally likely that it was the Fourteenth or just a random clown. We may never know, but in this chapter (173), the clown's face was shown with Mana's name, and so, we can safely assume it IS indeed Mana.
However, the clown/Mana, is not the main attraction in the circus. It's Allen, whom many people apparently mistook for Kanda or a new character at first. And we see in this chapter, the younger version of Allen was certainly not as polite as the current Allen, but did display much of the determination and loner-approach to problems as our current Allen does. This surprised a lot of people, most of which apparently assumed that he had been raised by Mana from a baby. I personally thought he lived in an alley until Mana happened to find him, so naturally, I cant be one to talk. The fact is, however, that the older Allen is simply a much more refined version of the younger Allen.
Yes, birdie got his feathers ruffled and flattened down is what I'm saying. The younger Allen is simply a lost child no one seems to care for. He gets beaten up as a way for others to exert anger and does any work he can find. He doesn't complain much, and has his likes and dislikes. He is supposedly practical, given as he seems to have enough to get by. He's not exceptionally skinny like you would expect an orphan in 1800s england to be. He has clothes (several sizes too large) to help him keep warm, as everything hints that the weather is cooling down, coming closer towards winter. He has a clip to keep his hair out of his face, and he seems to know how to speak fluently and must have something of a steady business with his work.
The older Allen is also practical. He survived three and a half (I'm not sure exactly about the time, but I think it was about that long) years with Cross Marian making his own money and still finding time to learn how to fight. He was able to gambol his way out of most situations and my guess is the ladies didn't hate him so much because he was able to sweet talk them (you notice he was actually able to seduce a robot, right? Arent those things supposed to be as emotionless as a Bookman? Well... not a Lavi, but an official Bookman??)
He obviously has his same fashion preference as when he was younger (long sleeves, obviously, long pants, swept hair, and a ribbon), which suggests that it was a good style for him, and kept him warm as well as allowed him to move. He prefers shorter trench coats, like his old check coat, which I assume was given to him by Mana.
Allen is quite willing to express his dislikes, including his clothes being too large (Ne? That not work out for you Allen? Slip off once or twice in mid-winter or something? Kakaka....), and people calling him cursed.... and Cross, definitely disliking Cross more than clowns when he was younger.
These are just some spots where they overlap. The biggest difference is definitely the dialect they use. Older Allen is polite and overly careful with his words, while the younger Allen simply tells it as he thinks it in his mind. If Allen was more like his younger version when LouFa looked at him the first time, he most likely would have said something along the lines of the 1800s version of Ew, girls have cooties, you're going to get me infected. Freak.
Naturally, present Allen, being slightly more refined, was just wondering why the hell a girl had fallen in love with him at first sight.
Also moving on, judging by the independent personality that Allen had adopted when he was younger, which carried on to his teenage self, Allen was not Mana-worshiping and completely dependant on him after being 'adopted'. Actually, we don't even know if Allen EVER was given the Walker name, or if he just took it after Mana's death, wanting to be thought of as Mana's son, whom Allen saw as the ideal person.
Yep. Insane clown-man who pretended to hang himself when he and Allen first met. Allen probably saw his as the idea person. His personality, Allen's, has not yet been fully shown. He's been wearing that mask of Mana as Cross's voice-recording puts it. We havent been watching Allen as much as Mana with Allen's face and thoughts.
Allen is still Allen in his mind and body, but Mana has ultimately become Allen's 'performance'. He acts as he remembers Mana to act and talk like Mana talked. He may not be wearing a mask, but he certainly knows how to perform.
But, Allen's still living to Allen's ideals. As far as he knew, Mana didn't have any knowledge of the Akuma or Noahs. That information has only come out recently, so Allen had never gotten the chance to create a Mana who thought of these things, so, he's still Allen in his mind. Allen who loves both humans, demons, and everything cursed in between. Don't expect that to be changing any time soon, unless something really drastic happens, which I hope wont just yet.
The Allen we saw in this chapter has a personality I don't think we've ever seen on him before. We might have once, however, at the time, there was a pumpkin head on him, so we cant know for sure *sigh*
Allen in this chapter... well, let's just say I was thinking Omg, it's a bobcat! Really! He had the chesire-cat grin on page 15, and right before that, he literally jumped onto the roof of a building (a very tall museum, actually), kicked a mythological bandit in the head while he was holding something akin to crowned jewels, and then promising to protect it with his life, simply because it costs more than all of Cross's debts and then making the dets look like nothing (okay, well that's not so hard to understand when it's Allen...)
Honestly? When have we ever seen Allen act like this? Also: Sorry about that! <-- dude... flying kick to the head! I mean... wow... I'd be expecting Allen to say something like I am really, really, sorry, but I had to! Please don't hold it against me, or something similar. Adding on to that... he cracked his knuckles... just that gives me the impression that he's not going to let this guy off so easy, even if he has that awkward little smile on his face. He got his friends in jail, and he's going to get his face messed up for it.
This Allen we only recently met was also the one who thought She's cute back in vol 3. He unrefined, a slight dare devil, ready to go, calm when unprovoked, fully thinking things through and focused with a way that reflects in his face. If no one noticed, his eyes are also much more alive than they ever were way back in the beginning.
There were a few things I noticed with Hoshino's style early on. It could be just coincidence and Allen had to develop over time, but that's unlikely, as Robin from Zone had been around a while. It's very likely Hoshino had Allen's personality thought out very fully already. Back in the beginning, Allen's eyes were simple, maybe a little clouded and dark looking. Now, his eyes have a very clear look to them, and are much more expressive. I don't like looking at the first volume after this chapter.
The places his eyes look clearest in the first volume are when he's destroying Akuma (specifically Clare and Mark) and when he's facing the Earl. As well as several spots here and there, mostly when he's being attacked. The action and interaction with Akuma and the Earl... and Kanda.... all bring out his life a bit more than anything (including a police investigation) ever could.
Meanwhile, in this chapter, where we see Allen for, once again, what feels like the first time, his eyes seem much deeper, even though Hoshino has gone back to what seems like the original style. Like I said, there's something that seems much more authentic about this 'Allen', rather than all the others.
He broods over his path and the way fate shapes us, fearful of losing his dreams and losing control of his life, like our old Allen, but at the same time, there's a lighter hearted feeling to it. His mood is pulled up easily by a little bit of food (glazed doughnut with chocolate frosting and sprinkles... hmm... sugary and headache inducing...), as well as the promise of seeing something he's never seen before (a phantom thief in the flesh, haha). He's protecting his neck and wallet as well as working to complete his mission, and he's been working rather well with Kanda lately... as seen in the last chapter and in this one.
I think that in aid to us needing to notice Allen's personality change, Kanda has been sent on missions with Allen a lot lately. In the previous mission, Kanda was angry with Allen for being a 'traitor', however, in this one, it's two months later. Plenty of time for Kanda to cool off and accept the fact that Allen didn't ask for this, and more importantly, he's not pretending to be someone else anymore.
Remember long long ago in vol two? Kanda said he hated naïve idiots and people who broke promises. Allen was both at the time, or at least acting it. He certainly wasn't naïve, but he acted it, and so in a sense, he was a liar. Liars broke promises. Kanda hated Allen more than any other person currently probably because he couldn't get Allen to show his true face. Now that the real Allen is out there, he's more comfortable being around him and not trying to skewer him all the time, or more accurately, scare the real self out.
Allen has really done the 360 on everyone, apparently. Link even seems to be regarding him as more of a brother from what we've seen so far, more than a charge. Lenalee and Johnny said that Allen had stopped with formal speech altogether, and though we havent seen Lavi yet, most likely, he's seeing Allen differently. In fact, over the series, Allen has changed over and over as constantly as his appearance.
As we have seen him, he has gone from self-sacrificing sad boy wearing carnival masks to hide himself to the boy who speaks roughly and refuses to give up for someone he doesn't know and doesn't want to, even if he is technically his uncle.
Most people would not regard this change as something that is certainly not a good thing, however, when you look back from the absolute beginning of the series to now, you definitely see a drastic change in him. And it's not bad. He went from saving them with hushed and sorrowful whispers before carrying on to the next to saving them with a bright grin and friends at his side to catch him when he trips.
And I can only image what he will be next.
Allen Walker.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee announced this week that it would run a TV ad urging President Obama not to "cave" on his promise to let the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans expire. The ad, to run on cable in Washington DC and in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, uses the words of then-candidate Obama saying he would "allow the temporary Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans to expire," a pledge he made on May 29, 2007 in Iowa City.
The ad then uses the September words of House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, when the incoming Speaker told CBS "if the only option I have is to vote for some of those tax reductions, I'll vote for them…If the only option I have is to vote for those at $250,000 and below, of course I'm going to do that."
Urges the PCCC: "If President Obama dares Republicans to oppose him, he will win….Tell President Obama: Keep Your Promise. Fight, Don't Cave, On Tax Cuts."
PCCC's director, Adam Green, called "spectacular," the $50,000 his group raised from 3,000 people to run the ad thus far.
It should be noted, of course, that House Democrats are doing exactly what PCCC wants Senate Democrats to do: only offer a vote on extending the Bush tax cuts for the middle class, and letting those for taxpayers who make over $200,000 a year/$250,000 for a family to expire, and Boehner today called the move "chicken crap."
"The election was one month ago," Boehner said. "We're 23 months from the next election and the games have already started to set up the next election."

I had to save my cat from three large ravens that were trying to kill him. The ravens in the area have eaten all the feral cats that used to roam around. Today, 14 ravens attacked, killed and ate an injured roadrunner that had wondered into the neighborhood.
These birds have chased off a young golden eagle that took up residence in a pine tree that the ravens consider their territory. These extremely large birds aren't afraid of people or any other animal. They are smart and have a gang mentality they hunt and kill as a group. I wish I had a way to get rid of these noisy, destructive, messy birds, but nothing works!

Father of British jihadist 'wants to cry' over online video
Published on Jun 21, 2014 5:39 PM
LONDON (AFP) - The father of a British man who left to fight in Syria said on Saturday that he "wants to cry" after his son appeared in an online video aimed at recruiting jihadists.
Mr Ahmed Muthana identified the man in the 13-minute video, entitled "There is No Life Without Jihad", as his 20-year-old son, Nasser Muthana, from Cardiff.
Speaking to BBC Wales, Mr Muthana said seeing the video made him "want to cry" and asked his son "why did you do this?"
"Is he going to kill?" he asked. "He didn't think of the children, the women, elderly people. Someone is driving these kids to do this."

iGate, the Integrated Technology and Operations company, on Thursday launched the phase four of its global delivery facility at its corporate campus in Whitefield area of the city.
The facility which provides 1,15,000 sq ft of additional workspace in the company's green 13.5 acre campus is part of the firm's green initiative aimed at bringing down its carbon footprint and conserving power and water.
The company has pumped in a Rs. 65 crore initial investment in developing the facility out of which five per cent was towards the green initiative, Phaneesh Murthy, CEO iGate told reporters.
Another Rs. 50 to 69 crore would be invested in phase five and six of the facility, he said.
The facility, which could house 1050 employees, has LED and solar-powered lighting, an ozone-friendly air conditioning system, organic waster convertor, wastewater recycling system, aimed at bringing down the carbon footprint by 160 tonnes annually.
The energy efficiency was targeted at ensuring power saving of 55 kw per hour, he said.
The salient features of the green facility also include reduction of air-conditioning load by optimising use of glass, creating a water harvesting pit that could store 20,000 litres and treatment of 40,000 litres of water a day, he said.
"Being environmentally friendly is a responsibility that we take seriously and we are proud to push the envelope with this new state-of-art one kind of building in the world", he said.

Exactly, Duffy.
Or you could ask yourself, "What would Jesus do? I believe he said, "Do unto others before they do unto you." Or something like that.

Most people have sweet tooths. They like a little ice cream or some kind of sweet baked good. My dad's favorite snack is M&Ms. Somtimes he'll dump a bunch into a small amount of peanut butter and eat it with a spoon.
But not me. I have savory taste buds. Our family's schedule is a little backward with me working days and my husband working nights. I often stay up later than I should just to get 30 minutes of alone time with him.
All that time from when The Girl goes to bed to when he gets home, makes me a little snacky. I don't typically snack on the normal stuff like potato chips and popcorn, though I've been to include them in a late night snack.
So tonight I wait for husband to get home, and while I'm watching an inspirational episode of Iron Chef America (they are cooking with olives tonight), here is a list of my favorite late night snacks, starting with what I'm snacking on now:
* Pita chips with a small cup of spinach-artichoke-jalapano dip. This dip is so awesome mixed with a little garlic and dill. Simply Naked pita chips are the best, hands down.
* Cheese quesadilla with corn tortillas and whatever kind of cheese is in the fridge. Feta, tomato and olives are great; or sharp cheddar and a meat, like shredded chicken or a thin slice of ham or deli turkey.
* Mini nachos with the works, salsa and a dollop of sour cream mixed with taco seasoning.
* Apples and peanut butter. Doesn't get much simpler than that, though celery is good too.
* Shrimp scampi. Yes, you read correctly: shrimp scampi. I crave this easy-to-whip-up dish when I'm PMSing. Husband kindly makes it for me sometimes when he gets home at 11 p.m. Four to eight shrimp is a perfect late night portion tossed with olive oil, garlic, chives, white wine and a touch of butter. Yum yum yummy yum.
* Taquitos. I buy them at Costco, they rock. I only need two or three with a dollop of sour cream mixed with taco seasoning and some hot sauce.
* Bowl of fresh strawberries in milk, sprinkled with sugar.
* Small bowl of purple grapes mixed into cottage cheese. Weird combo, I know. But the tart skin of the grape, the sweet flesh of the grape and texture of the cottage cheese is really satisfying and quite filling.
* Refried beans mixed with scrambled eggs and a flour tortilla. I grew up on beans 'n' eggs for breakfast. My mom and sister love it too.
* Slice of Swiss cheese topped with a slice of dill pickle and a dollop of mustard on top. The flavors of this slittle stack are surprisingly awesome.
* Columbus hard salami and a good crusty bread spred thinly with mayo.
That's all I can think of right now. It really just depends on what I've got in my fridge at 11 p.m., and I try to make the most of it!
And isn't naked always better? I'm just saying.
How about a martini?
I'm also of the hard-salami-and-good-cheese school of snackage. But mostly I'm a nonsnacker. Lord knows what would happen if I actually ate every time I'm hungry--I'd certainly outgrow the rest of my wardrobe right quick!
,,Bowl of fresh strawberries in milk, sprinkled with sugar."
I really have to try this.
And the picture above your entry is just too cute.
I make quesadillas most often :)
Otherwise - I may have to try some of the things you've mentioned, as they are making my mouth water. Usually, I'll just go for whatever delicious cheese we have hanging around, edamame with sea salt, or sugar snap peas with onion dip.
1. Scrambled eggs with capers, olives and feta.
2. Fried egg with slide of swiss chesee, on toast with aioli
3. toasted english muffin spread with tomato paste, topped with black olives and feta, broiled for 2 minutes
4. popcorn with garlic butter (smash and juice cloves fresh) and parmesan
4. thick rounds of summer sausage topped with jalapeno cheese
5. blue cheese and feta quesadilla
I could go on but my stomach is growling....

Devon's NHS 111 health line postponed until September
The launch of the NHS non-emergency 111 number in Devon has been postponed until September, health bosses say.
It was first set to be launched on 1 April and then on 18 June.
The helpline, which replaces NHS Direct, has been dogged by problems elsewhere in England with calls going unanswered and poor advice being given.
Service commissioners said they wanted to "learn from the issues in other parts of the country to get things right for patients in Devon".
'No deadline'Last month, the head of the Devon family doctors' organisation, the Local Medical Committee, said it had "huge anxieties" about the phone line's launch.
In some areas of England where the service has been introduced - run by a variety of organisations, including private firms and ambulance crews - high demand has left thousands of callers unable to get through.
Critics also said inappropriate referrals by 111 staff had put huge strain on ambulances and hospitals in some areas.
Dr Tim Burke, chair of Northern, Eastern and Western Devon Clinical Commissioning Group, said health bosses wanted to "fully scrutinise our service so that when we launch we are assured it has been thoroughly tried and tested".
- The free number is for patients with urgent, but not life-threatening symptoms
- This includes people needing fast medical help, but who are not a 999 emergency
- Trained advisers who answer the phones offer basic health advice and direct the caller to the most appropriate service for their needs - A&E or GP out-of-hours services, for example
He said: "We are not working to a deadline. We are working to getting it right and taking the time to ensure it offers the best service to our population."
It is due to be operated by the South Western Ambulance NHS Foundation Trust.
The Devon Local Medical Committee said the postponement was "highly responsible".
It said: "There is very strong evidence that the premature launch of NHS 111 elsewhere has helped to fuel the recent perception of a surge in demand for A&E."
Neighbouring Cornwall has had difficulties starting its 111 service.
It was due to launch on 23 May, but there is currently no confirmed date for its introduction.
NHS 111 has been running in Dorset and Somerset since February, but high demand created some problems.
Over the Easter period, 32% of callers in Dorset and 12% in Somerset could not get through or abandoned their call.
The NHS in both counties said the situation had improved.

Why are there no "Executive MFA / IxD" programs? (response to RPI online HCI program phase out)
Interesting, I didn't know online HCI grad programs even existed.
On a related note, I do wish that a premier design school (e.g. RISD, Art Center, SVA, New School, CMU) would step up and address the need for online / part-time IxD "executive MFA" program for practitioners, along the executive MBA model with a mix of online learning and on campus sessions. Forgive me if I've overlooked an existing program, but it seems (just based on this discussion list) that there is a significant demand for this option, particularly with the current economic pressures. Employed designers could leverage company sponsorship to work towards their "executive MFA" using online materials with infrequent on campus (2-3 all weekend sessions per semester) crits / intensive workshops to address the need for face-to-face interaction. It seems like the field has matured to a point where programs like this should exist, does it not?

Subject: Re: [IxDA Discuss] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute phasing out online HCI program
I wonder how much of it goes back to findability and information architecture (but I can be a little biased thinking most problems come back to these things).
Placement in search engine isn't really high (and didn't even seem them for "online hci program" and the like) and then the description provided seemed accidental and had an odd subdomained URL that didn't give you the university's name or program in it.
When you go to the program site you arrive at from some of the more obscure search terms, I didn't see a mention of format (online vs oncampus). There was a link for "working professionals". Mmmm...here's the mention: "live on-campus and, by electronic means". I guess in the months I spent searching for an online program I never Googled for "masters program HCI electronic means".
In my experience, disambiguating on-campus only programs from distance ones was a challenge. Trying to winnow them down via search engine alone was impossible and even as noted above...it was kind of a treasure hunt on their program sites.
I went with an barely online Human Factors program through U of Idaho last year and would have certainly looked at Rensselaer's HCI program as I could have taken it "by electronic means".

Why is noone interested in this program?
There are only two online HCI programs to my knowledge - Rensselaer's
and Brigham Young University.
RPI's name has cachet and prestige. I know some nuclear engineers who
graduated from RPI - smart school for smart people.
I think they are phasing the online HCI program out because they
didn't have enough applicants.
Does no one have an interest in working while getting a degree remotely?
Just checking the temperature here...

EOS Bodies / Re: 6D or 5D Mark III. For video. Which one?
« on: December 28, 2014, 09:42:58 AM »
I currently use a 6D as my main video camera. I've used a rented 5DIII and have a little experience with that. I'm not sure how you're covered for audio, but I use a Tascam DR-100 for audio. I keep it separate from the camera and sync in post (FCPX). I'm very happy with the 6D. Every now and then I run into aliasing issues, but usually not. And you can learn how to minimize them with practice. I use the kit lens (24-105 f4) for a surprisingly large percentage of shots. I wasn't planning on using the lens much, but it's extremely useful in documentary and fast-shooting situations. When I have time, I'll use a 70-200 2.8, a Zeiss 50 1.4 and the 17-40 to complement its range (the 50mm 1.4 is magical). I'd get the 6D and put any leftover money into a solid rig, sound system, slider... pieces of kit that otherwise add production value to your video that your camera cannot.

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee said on Friday that she would not deviate from her stand on the Presidential candidate and that the game was not over yet.
Reacting to a flurry of questions from the media just as she was leaving the State Secretariat for the day, Ms. Banerjee said : "Whatever I have to say, I will say tomorrow, this is not a press conference. I will not speak a word more, but none should think that the game is over."
Ms. Banerjee added that whatever had been announced, the party would stick to it.
"The President's office is an important post. Don't divide and rule. All should support Kalam. He is our candidate," Ms. Banerjee said in New Delhi.
Ms. Banerjee claimed that Mr. Kalam announced on Friday morning that he would be contesting. "It is good. We thank him. We congratulate him in advance. Kalam is an asset. He can glorify India. He is a popular candidate. If there is a direct election to Presidential office like in America, he will be number one," she said.
Asked if she thought Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav had done a U-turn and she felt betrayed, she said: "He is a political leader and I cannot make any comments like this."
Earlier, on her arrival at the Secretariat after camping for two days in New Delhi, Ms. Banerjee had told her aides that her party would stick to Mr. Kalam as the party felt that he was the fittest candidate for the post. The party would not be shifting from its earlier choice of Presidential candidate, as he was a man of high stature and respected internationally, she added.
On reports of the Samajwadi Party chief extending his support to Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, she said that she could not comment on that as the party had not got in touch with her.

Hi! I'm Laurie Cinotto and I'm artist/crafter/DIY writer living in the lovely and lush Pacific Northwest.
My area of specialty is paper flower crafting, and I make and sell paper flower creations – mostly corsages, boutonnières and bouquets - on Etsy and at arts and craft fairs.
I also write DIY projects for craft and wedding websites and magazines. In March of 2011, my very first book/craft kit, Making Paper Flowers, was published.
Currently, I'm on the Hambly Screen Prints and Fiskars design teams.
I experiment with a lot of materials, but I find myself always coming back to paper. I love the versatility of paper. It's so exciting to see how the craft industry has boomed, making the most lovely and amazing papers and paper-crafting tools available.
Besides making things, and writing about how to make things, I foster kittens. Truth be told, one of the main reasons why I turned into a full time, work from home crafter/writer was so I could stay at home and take care of the kitties.
Crafts, cats, repeat. I feel lucky living the life I do.
To see more of the things I make, visit
To see the kittens I foster, visit
1. How long have you been crafting?
As far back as I can remember, I've enjoyed making things. Art was always my favorite subject in school, and my favorite after-school activity too. I loved trying craft kits and toys - like paint-by-numbers and latch-hook rugs. Shrinky-Dinks, Spirograph, Spin-Art, Fashion Plates, and my Holly Hobby Sewing Machine were favorites, too.
As I grew up, my interest in crafting grew stronger, and now I'm quite lucky to call it my career.
2. Why did you start crafting?
I think I started crafting because I always loved being creative. There are many ways, shapes and forms to express yourself creatively, and crafting is something that felt right, and came most naturally to me, so I explored it.
3. How long have you been on the Fiskars design team?
I joined the team in May of 2011.
4. What are your favorite craft activities?
More than anything, I love exploring the possibilities of paper – both two and three dimensionally
5. How do you define your crafting style/aesthetic?
I would describe my style as vintage inspired, but with a clean, modern spin.
6. What is your favorite time of day to craft?
I do love crafting in the wee hours of the night. I feel like that's the time when I am most productive.
7. What motivates/inspires you?
I take inspiration from vintage, handcrafted things– like embroidered pillowcases and dishtowels, quilts, and crocheted doilies. I appreciate the time and skills it took to create these works, and the thought that went into making something both practical and beautiful.
Also, I love looking through vintage craft books and magazines and placing a new spin on an old idea.
Even though I mostly look back in time for inspiration, I'm equally excited and inspired by all the new craft products on the market today. I'm so happy that the craft industry has flourished and made so many amazing papers and paper-crafting tools available.
8. If you could only have one Fiskars® tool, what would it be and why?
I guess if I had to pick just one, it would be the Original Craft Rotary Paper Trimmer (12"). Out of the Fiskars products I use, that's my go-to gadget. I've had it for years, and have put more millage on it than any other tool in the craft room. It never fails me, and cuts as precisely as it did the day I took it out of the box. A very close first runner-up prize goes to the No. 5 Micro-tip Easy Action Scissors.

Justin Hoyer under rotated his double backflip attempt in Snowmobile Best Trick.
ASPEN, Colo. -- Heath Frisby was unfazed after seeing his friend and competitor Justin Hoyer crash spectacularly on a double backflip attempt in the Snowmobile Best Trick competition on Sunday night. Just moments after Hoyer was carried out on a stretcher with right arm and right leg injuries, Frisby made history with the first-ever frontflip on a snowmobile.
"Guys, it's all right, I've been waiting a year to do this," Frisby said after watching a replay of Hoyer's crash and before taking his own run. "I am my own deal. This is a totally different trick and I'm ready."
Frisby managed to keep his plans for Best Trick quiet until arriving in Aspen on Wednesday, but after word of the frontflip got out, he posted YouTube footage of himself completing the rotation into a foam pit during training. He took it easy during the Snowmobile Freestyle competition on Thursday, settling for a fourth-place finish while focusing on the frontflip.
"I set a goal for myself and I've always told myself, 'I can't do two things at once, but if I focus on one thing I can do it,'" Frisby told ESPN.
He nailed the trick in his first of two runs in the Best Trick final on Sunday, for a nearly perfect score of 96.66, beating out Colten Moore's tsunami Indian flip (89.66) and Joe Parsons' no-footed can-can backflip (88.00).
"This has been everything to me, really," Frisby said, moments after landing the frontflip. "My whole family, everybody, all my friends have been behind me through all this. I know my grandma is watching -- she must have gotten a little chill there. Grandpa, I love you, man. We got it. We got it."
After his double backflip accident, Hoyer left the venue on a stretcher as a precaution and was transported to Aspen Valley Hospital for treatment, according to X Games medical staff. He reportedly called his mom before leaving the venue to tell her he is OK. Hoyer is currently getting X-rays of his right arm and lower left leg.
Asked how he was able to refocus after seeing the horrific crash right before his run, Frisby said, "No one can explain the feeling athletes get. When we go out there it is the worst feeling in your stomach, in your head, everything, and I just knew that I had to stay focused. I knew that I trained for this and I knew what to do."
This is Frisby's second gold medal in SMB Best Trick, following his win in 2010. He now has a total of seven Winter X Games medals.

10 Christmas Fetishes We Need to Get Over
See why simple is good for the holiday season
By Diane Oatis
Special Offer
We don't mean to be Scrooge here, but what ever happened to modest Christmases? Holidays should be small and special, not victims of overkill. 'Tis a gift to be simple, the song says. So let's see which of these we can do without:
1. All Christmas music, all the time, starting in November. How many times will you hear the words "pa-rum-pa-pum-pum" in the space of eight weeks? Think about it. Somewhere in there, you could use a silent night.
2. Mountains of presents for kids. Don't plant that seed now, otherwise your daughter will expect a Kardashian-like wedding later.
3. Novelty jewelry. Anyone who wants to pull the string on your pin to see Santa's nose light up has to get awfully close to your chest. Is that where you want a stranger's hand?
4. Bad chocolate. Beware of that cheap foil-wrapped chocolate that comes in little shapes. You eat it, you feel lousy, and for what? Hold out for the good stuff.
5. Pungent candles. Think pine forest, not Vicks Vapo-Rub. Or better yet, think nothing at all.
6. Bizarre food traditions. Someone, once upon a time, liked the cranberry-mayo jello mold. Does anyone remember who it was? No? Then cross it off the list, now and forever.
7. Light displays that look like Times Square. So non-eco. Enough said.
8. Making popcorn-and-berry strings for the tree. This one actually does come from a simpler time, but we don't know how they did it without Band-Aids. Have you ever tried to push a needle through a cranberry? Don't.
9. Overdressing the little ones. Mommy, we know you think the three-piece suit and tie are adorable, but he's only 3. Put him in something stretchy, then let him roll around on the floor with his cousins and end the day with candy cane juice all over himself.
10. The mandatory bake-athon. There are bakers, and there's everyone else. Bakers, start your engines. Everyone else, just give a terrific gift instead.
