Top Ten Reasons to Pre-Order The Primal Blueprint Cookbook
Posted By Mark Sisson On April 19, 2010 @ 9:59 am In Announcements | 101 Comments
UPDATE: The 72 Hour Pre-Order Offer has expired. If you didn't make the cut off, don't fret! Pre-order a copy of The Primal Blueprint Cookbook [7] today and you can still get a free Primal Blueprint Poster and free domestic S&H (international S&H is now $9.95). Grok on!
I'm very excited to announce that in just a few weeks' time The Primal Blueprint Cookbook [7] will begin shipping! Since the release of The Primal Blueprint last year countless readers have encouraged me to write and publish a cookbook. Not one to disappoint, I teamed up with professional chef Jennifer Meier to put together the definitive Primal recipe book. This perfect companion to The Primal Blueprint includes over 100 all-new (never before seen on MDA), mouth-watering recipes with easy-to-follow instructions and nearly 400 brilliant, full-color, glossy photographs to guide and inspire you to cooking and eating Primally.
To mark this occasion and to thank loyal Mark's Daily Apple readers I've put together a special 72-hour limited-time pre-order offer for you. Continue reading to learn why you should pre-order your copy of The Primal Blueprint Cookbook today!
Pre-order The Primal Blueprint Cookbook [7] in the next 72 hours (offer expires at 10 am PST, Thursday, April 22) and you'll save 6 bucks off the regular retail price.
Released just a few weeks ago this 24×30 inch PB Poster (click the thumbnail to zoom in) illustrates the core Primal Blueprint fitness, diet and lifestyle behaviors, with sections devoted to the 10 Laws, the Primal Blueprint Fitness Pyramid, Food Pyramid and Carbohydrate Curve.
You can get one for FREE by pre-ordering a copy of The Primal Blueprint Cookbook [7] within the next 72 hours (offer expires at 10 am PST, Thursday, April 22).
In the interest of avoiding carpal tunnel I'm going to have to end the autograph offer. The 20% discount, free poster and free S&H offer will still stand until Thursday, 10 am PST, but if I don't cut off the autograph offer now I'm going to end up with a frozen hook of a hand.
Shipping and handling is a pain, isn't it? If you pre-order now [7], you can avoid the shipping costs and get the book for a flat fee. (Disclaimer: Free shipping to US customers only. Reduced shipping and handling (only $5.99) for all international orders.)
With years of Primal recipe blog posts [8] behind us we've gained some valuable insight into how to create simple meals that taste great and are good for you. We took this experience to the kitchen and then spent innumerable hours designing, testing and distilling the best that Primal Blueprint meals have to offer. With chapters devoted to each of the following categories we're sure there is something for everyone: Meat, Offal, Fowl, Seafood, Vegetables, Eggs, Primal Substitutes, Marinades, Sauces and Dressings, Desserts, Beverages. The book includes delicious recipes like Roasted Leg of Lamb with Herbs and Garlic, Salmon Chowder with Coconut Milk, Tomatoes Stuffed with Ground Bison and Eggs, and Baked Chocolate Custard to name just a few.
And to be clear, The Primal Blueprint Cookbook is not the same as the Reader-Created Primal Recipe Book [9]. The PB Cookbook is filled with exclusive, never before seen recipes, while the Reader-Created Cookbook will be comprised of recipes featured on MDA and likely won't be available for at least 6 months.
You're ready to lose weight, get fit, and improve your health, but you don't know where to begin! This book tells you exactly what to eat and how to prepare it in easy-to-follow instructions and with step-by-step photos. No more guesswork needed. Just flip open the book for Primal-certified breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes.
Until now, high-quality, full-color cookbooks written for the growing Primal/paleo communities have been difficult to come by. Where else can you find grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, high-fat/low-carb recipes that would make Grok proud? If a cookbook without pasta, bread, rice and beans makes sense to you (and even if it doesn't!), this book is for you.
Just try the recipes for a month and I'm sure you'll be hooked. If you don't notice an appreciable improvement in body composition and health, or don't find this to be the best Primal/paleo/low-carb cookbook on the market return it and I'll refund your money. Just one taste of any recipe and I'm absolutely certain you'll love it.
The Primal Blueprint Cookbook is scheduled to begin shipping in May, and will not be available in stores or online retailers (including Amazon.com) for several months. You can only get it from PrimalNutrition.com [7]. So grab your copy today to avoid the wait, and to get the official early adopter badge. (Disclaimer: The early adopter badge doesn't really exist. Reference to the early adopter badge was only inserted for the purpose of eliciting a few chuckles. Please don't email me about not receiving an early adopter badge with your cookbook.)
Even before the release of The Primal Blueprint last year I was receiving requests for a cookbook. Once I announced my intentions to write one, every week people would ask me when it would be available. Well, it's nearly here. Jennifer and I spent many long nights writing the best book about Primal food we could. Now it's all yours [7].
So pre-order today [7] and get a first edition, hardcover, autographed copy of The Primal Blueprint Cookbook [7] at 20% off the cover price with a FREE Primal Blueprint Poster and FREE shipping and handling. Thanks, everyone, and Grok on!
P.S. Tell your friends about this offer by clicking "ShareThis" below. They'll thank you for the heads up.

These were really simple to make and very flavorful! I was looking for a more nutritious and filling muffin for everyone to grab a quick breakfast and these do just that. The only change I made was using 1/4 cup of natural agave syrup in place of the sugar. These smell great while baking and I will make these again!
Good muffin, if a little gooey. Great basic recipe. I used whole wheat flour and added 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt, only 1/2 c sugar and closer to 2/3 c applesauce (probably why a little gooey)....the magic happened on the second batch when I decided to add 2/3 c wheat bran, and used 2/3 c (scant) dark brown sugar rather than white...mmm mmm good :-)
I tried this recipe with a few modifications 1/2 cup of all purpose flour & 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 tsp of salt.

Kim Kardashian Files For Divorce After 72 Days of Marriage
POSTED: Monday, October 31, 2011 - 2:51pm
UPDATED: Monday, October 31, 2011 - 8:09pm
LOS ANGELES- A whirlwind courtship, a high profile wedding, and now, rumors of an impending divorce are no longer rumors.
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian filed for divorce today from her husband, NBA player, Kris Humphries.
Mark Barger has details.
What started in a made for TV, fairytale fashion in August met the harsh Halloween reality of court documents this morning. Reality TV star Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from husband Kris Humphries, citing irreconcilable differences. That's 72 days after their $10 million wedding.
"A lot of people are skeptical about Kim, a lot of people are skeptical about the entire family. And I think this quickie wedding and even quicker divorce isn't going to help that," says Justin Ravitz, Senior Online Editor, US Weekly.
Kardashian is one of reality TV's highest paid stars. She also has numerous product endorsements, including a perfume line she was promoting earlier this month in Dubai, where she spoke in positive terms about her marriage.
"I really want to spend a little time with Kris before we start having kids, so, I say give us like a year before we try to have kids," said Kim.
But US Weekly reports Humphries' absence from that Dubai trip increased already existing tensions between Humphries and Kardashian, as well as her family, who star in a reality TV series, "Keeping up with the Kardashians".
"It wasn't just the marriage between Kris and Kim Kardashian that failed, it was the marriage between Kris and Kardashian family that failed," says Ravitz.
Kim Kardashian released a statement saying the divorce filing "Was not an easy decision. I hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned."
The divorce filing in Los Angeles County Superior Court indicates the couple has a prenuptial agreement that will dictate how they divide up their respective assets.
Comments News Comments
This woman clearly does not deserve to get married to anyone - ever. She is obviously only in it for the glamour of being married as well as for the publicity and gifts she gets from her friends, family and guests. Anyone that proposes marriage to her is simply as "dumb as a mule". She might be attractive but to seek something long term with her - or any sudo celebrity like her is ...

A network performance tool using LAM MPI
NetPIPE is a protocol independent performance tool that encapsulates the best of ttcp and netperf and visually represents the network performance under a variety of conditions. By taking the end-to-end application view of a network, NetPIPE clearly shows the overhead associated with different protocol layers. NetPIPE answers such questions as: how soon will a given data block of size k arrive at its destination? Which network and protocol will transmit size k blocks the fastest? What is a given network's effective maximum throughput and saturation level? Does there exist a block size k for which the throughput is maximized? How much communication overhead is due to the network communication protocol layer(s)? How quickly will a small (< 1 kbyte) control message arrive, and which network and protocol are best for this purpose?
This package measures network performance using the MPI protocol, a Message Passing Interface frequently used in parallel processing, and which uses in turn TCP as its underlying transport. The implementation of the MPI standard used by this package is that provided by the lam set of packages.

In my experience, you get what you pay for with tweezers. The cheap ones are garbage! I have these in pink and they work great! You don't end up plucking more than one hair at a time. Bought the mini version for in my purse, too.
I was pretty excited about these tweezers after reading all the rave reviews, but found they snap the hairs rather than plucking them out.
I finally broke down and bought a pair of these when I saw them on clearance in Ulta in a shimmery silver color for Christmas. I love them. So sharp and precise. I have never owned a pair of tweezers this precise before.
They are sharp though so beware. They grab every little hair. If I had known this before I probably would've purchased it long ago, I just couldn't imagine a set of tweezers would be any different than the cheaper ones I had. WRONG. Worth the $20 they retail for. I paid $10. VERY happy with them and would buy them again in a heartbeat. They also came with a nice case.
I have the mini version of these and they're hands down the best tweezers I've ever owned. It's very easy to pluck one hair a time with these, and they rarely pinch my skin like other tweezers did. They do seem a little pricey at first, but trust me it's worth it!
I have purchased plenty of tweezers -- but this one is the best. It grabs little hairs like no other. I like that it comes with a cap so I don't stab myself. It's worth the splurge. I actually bought the mini when it was on sale at Ulta (and used my $3.50 off coupon) and it works just as well as the larger size. Because the mini is smaller, I would suggest getting a bright color so it doesn't get lost in your drawer/bag.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is worth every penny. I purchased mine for about $20 a year ago and they're still sharp. It's great for tweezing out those stubborn short hairs.
This tool will definitely go a long way if you take care of it properly!
My HG can't live without tool! Worth every penny! Other cheap tweezers don't always grab the hair. These get the shortest hairs every time. Lifetime sharpening...amazing!!
The price for these tweezers may be intimidating but they are worth EVERY penny. I always found I was replacing my tweezers because they lost their grasping ability. Not these ones. They get every single hair and are so precise. My dad bought them for me so I tech. Didnt purchase them myself but if I lost them i would def re buy. My dad borrowed them one day and then went to sephora and brought home 4 pairs. One for my brother ane for my dad and another for me. Lol its a household name here. I also reccomend the other tweezerman tools they work wonders. And i dont know about all of them but mine came in a plastic case which are perfect so i dont lose my tweezers, which used to always be a problem.

Plan.Do – the social action app launched in March 2014 and you can take a look at it here:
Whether you are a young person wanting to plan your own projects, a teacher looking for a project management tool to engage students, a charity setting up your own social action projects or a funder wanting to commission social action programmes, Plan.Do has something for you.
Social action programme management
Alongside the free web app for young people there is an admin dashboard available to those delivering social action programmes, which provides an overview of young people and projects. The dashboard:
- is available on any platform (pc, phone or tablet)
- makes it easier to communicate with young people through an in-app messaging system
- saves time with at-a-glance monitoring of young people and projects
- includes a simple reporting functionality.
Download our one-page pdf for everything you need to know about Plan.Do.
Working in partnership to develop the social action app
Catch22 is committed to developing and delivering user-led services. We worked with groups of young people to design and build Plan.Do, giving them a unique work experience opportunity and ownership of the project.
We also worked with our corporate partners to make sure Plan.Do highlights the employability skills they are looking for. They told us how to make it easy for them to recognise the employability value of social action, be it, team work, communication or problem solving.

Mancini - United Are NOT Better Than Us!
Roberto Mancini wants to take a leaf out of Manchester United's book to ensure Manchester City bounce back from this season's disappointing title defence.
Roberto Mancini: "I think we know we can beat them because they are not better than us.
"This is sure, 100 per cent - although they deserve to win this title.
"Last year United didn't win anything - Community Shield, yes - but they continue to improve their team.
"This can happen, you can't win every year. This is impossible in England.
"For this, I think we need to do better next year.
"This is important for the club, it is important that they sign new contracts.
"We know that we should buy important players for next year if we want to improve.
"In football you can buy good players and afterwards you don't win - this is football, it is incredible.
"But I am sure we can do well this year, we can do a good job in the market.
"I think we need to improve as a team, as a club, but for this we need more years.
"We can't do this in two years. For 10 years, if we improve, if we win every year, probably it will be the same also for us.
"I don't know, it is difficult to say this.
"You may want one player, but maybe two or three teams want the same player and after you can take this or take another player. It is difficult."

But everywhere he turned there seemed to be more questions�or people too willing to hide the truth behind a smoke screen of lies. He had only the name he had been told was his own, his mysterious skill with a gun, and a link to a half million dollars� worth of buried gold as evidence of his past life. Was the treasure his? Was he a thief? A killer? He didn�t have the answers, but he needed them soon. Because what he still didn�t know about himself, others did�and if he didn�t unlock the secret of his past, he wasn�t going to have much of a future.

Dan's Auto Repair: Blue Ash body shop has staying power built on trust, customer service
'An example of what businesses need to do'
When Dan Fluker started Dan's Auto Repair in Blue Ash 39 years ago, there were lots of businesses owned by African-American entrepreneurs in the TriState.
What sets the business apart is that it has survived and thrived under the Fluker family's ownership for all these years.
"This is an example of what businesses need to do – especially black businesses – in order to increase our economic empowerment," said Jim Clingman, author of the syndicated newspaper column, Blackonomics, and a founder of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky African American Chamber of Commerce. "The unusual part is how they've been able to keep it going."
The body shop is located on Vorhees Lane between Blue Ash Road and Sycamore Road, where it has been from the start. Dan Fluker started the shop in 1975. Johnnie Brown, his wife Lillie's brother, joined him at the business the next year.
The two men had worked together at the former Kenwood Chrysler-Plymouth dealership's body shop, which Fluker had managed for 15 years before launching his own place. Lillie Fluker managed the office, kept the books and handled payroll for the shop.
Brown, now in his 70s, still works at Dan's full-time.
That doesn't mean the business hasn't changed over the years, said Danzivor Fluker, Dan Fluker's son. He has been running the business since 2006 when his father stepped down from the CEO role for health reasons.
Insiders can read about how Dan's Auto Repair has changed over the years and what customers have to say about why they keep going back to the family-owned shop.

Businesses come together for expo
Published 5:52am Saturday, September 29, 2012Anna Miller waited patiently in the chair while the blood pressure monitor did its job. At the Atmore Business Expo held at the Atmore YMCA Thursday morning, attendees like Miller had the opportunity to get readings of their blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation.
The expo brought a bevy of vendors, from Gentiva to Atmore Community Home Care LLC to the event's co-sponsors Amedisys and Express Healthcare.
Felicia Graf, the director of operations for Amedisys Home Health, said the goal of the event was to raise awareness in the Atmore community.
"It's mainly to get our name and some local businesses names out into the community," Graf said.
For those unfamiliar with the company, they provide home health service, including nursing care, physical therapy, speech therapy, psychiatric therapy, and home health aides to home-bound patients unable to make trips to their doctors.
"We provide services to the local community with staff from the local community," Graf said. "Even though we're a national company, we try to keep it local."
Likewise, Jonah Polansky of Express Healthcare believes having a local connection is helpful to a company's success in Atmore. Express Healthcare's owner Ken Miller was born and raised in Atmore and the company has been in Atmore for nine years now.
"We have such a connection with family and friends through referrals," Polansky said. "That definitely helps, especially with business. If you're from here, you'll do well here."
The company provides home service for any type of medical equipment with the goal of assisting those in situations of need.
Also on hand for the event was AseraCare Hospice, a group aiming to provide holistic care.
"As far as services, we try to take care of the whole body," Vickie Carrier said. "It's not just medical—it's emotional, spiritual, social and physical. We have a lot of seasoned caregivers."
Sissy Cunningham added that the group's goal was to raise awareness.
"We just want to educate the public that we're here for the terminally ill," Cunningham said. "We're a very passionate team."
Carrier confirmed what others had said regarding local ties being appreciated by Atmore residents.
"A lot of agencies can't say that, but we've been involved in the area for a long time," Carrier said.
One of the more popular vendors at the expo was the Atmore Community Home Care LLC, the group that offered blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation readings.
Diane Fitzpatrick, the group's director, said they offer services that include skill nursing, home health aide, physical therapy, and occupational therapy.
Also present for the group was Robbie Cale, who has been in the area for 11 years. Likewise, Atmore Community Home Care LLC has been in Atmore for more than 10 years. Long-time residents may remember them as Atmore Home Health, which was their name until 2006.
"We're actually part of the hospital," Cale said. "We try to do blood pressure once a month."
Cale said the Atmore health community is a close-knit group, no matter which business they work for.
"We're all friends," Cale said. "There's enough business to go around. It's a small community."

I let the sliced turnips and potatoes soak in the well seasoned cold milk and water mixture for an hour (I believe the salt seasoning and the pepper flavour then infuses into the veg more) before putting on the heat to come to the boil relatively slowly (due to cooking on a Rayburn). Once boiling I take off heat and drain....

Florida public library holds mock debate on banning books
(Read article summary)In honor of Banned Books Week, a county that made headlines for banning books held a mock school board meeting to demonstrate both sides of the debate.
For Banned Books Week, some schools put books that often top banned lists on prominent display. Others host readings from frequently banned novels.
The Bay County Public Library of Panama City, Fla., went one step farther, holding a mock school board meeting in Panama City to simulate discussion that would occur if a parent wanted a book banned. [This article originally mistakenly identified the Bay County public school system as the sponsor of the mock school board meeting.] The county made headlines 25 years ago when the district superintendent banned more than 60 books from classrooms and school libraries after parent complaints.
Gloria Pipkin, who was teaching in the district when the famous bans took place, led the meeting and told the News Herald that she wanted the meeting to give participants a "fair sense of both perspectives" in the debate over whether books should be banned.
The book under mock discussion was "Fade" by Robert Cormier, which tells the story of a teenager who discovers he can become invisible. The novel is often banned or challenged because of sexual content. Pipkin told the News Herald that she chose "Fade" because one of the books that began the controversy decades ago was Cormier's book "I Am The Cheese."

Kobe Bryant quietly shifted to his eighth Nike Basketball signature sneaker, showing off a couple of upcoming styles on-court as we approach the December 20th release date. They only represent a small portion of what to expect from the Nike Kobe 8 System, based on precedents set by both the past few years' copious colorway selection and the fifth straight year of NIKEiD customization. The Kobe 8 System iD also arrives on Thursday, and judging by the array of green tones at play on the sample of which you can see more below, you could be busy tinkering with different color combos until the end of time. Sneaker News will keep you posted with all the latest updates and release info; will you make an iD pair or stick with the 'Sulfur' edition?

This is a sturdy man garnet ring with an oval garnet gemstone in the center. Notice the solid mounting of the gemstone with the entire garnet bordered with gold. These garnet rings have a nice 'whirl' type design on the band and can be ordered as a white gold men's garnet ring or as a male garnet ring in yellow gold. The choice is yours and you can also choose a plain band without the 'whirls' texture. The center gemstone can be selected as a 10x8mm oval gemstone or as a 12x10 oval gemstone. For rings that are above size 10, we would recommend the 12x10mm gemstone size, as it would be well proportioned with the large ring size. Like all the other jewelry on our website, this men's garnet gemstone ring can be ordered in 14k or 18k white or yellow gold, with all gemstone options. These rings are also available in all sizes. |

A superb design for this well built man garnet ring, a handpicked stupendous custom cut garnet gem stone in the center. The majestic look on this ring is partly because of the two tone gold used for the ring. The portion around the gemstone is yellow gold while, the rest of the ring is white gold. You can decide to put your initials or name around the gemstone or just leave it blank. The sides of this garnet men's ring also has some etchings that can be custom made as per your requirements. The ring would look equally smart without any etchings too. Once again, solid gold weight and high end craftsmanship make this ring a genuine high end masterpiece. The center gemstone can be made with a size of your choice and the gemstone can be smooth, as shown in the image or have the conventional faceted cut. These man garnet gemstone rings would ideally be made in 14k gold because of the hardness. While 18k gold is also available as an option, we would recommend 14k gold to increase durability of the ring and also make it more sturdy. The final choice is ofcourse yours. |

Bristol City Council: Labour members join mayor's cabinet
Bristol's Labour party is to join the mayor's cross-party cabinet.
The party turned down an offer to take part after the mayoral elections in November but will now fill two posts.
Councillors Mark Bradshaw and Brenda Massey will take on portfolios which are yet to be confirmed.
Mayor George Ferguson thanked Labour leader Helen Holland for the "maturity of their actions" for putting the interests of Bristolians "ahead of confrontational party politics".
'Passion for Bristol'Analysis
Bristol's Labour party has been wrestling with the issue of whether or not to join the mayor's cabinet since the day he was elected.
It has caused deep division. Some Labour candidates for the recent elections threatened to stand down if the party went in. Councillor Hammond, the then group leader, resigned when Labour's governing body overruled him and ensured the party stayed out.
Councillor Bradshaw is destined for the key and contentious brief of transport which will act as a test of just how much the mayor is willing to delegate decisions to his cabinet members.
"I have always wanted to reflect the plurality of Bristol's voters, as far as it is possible, through the make-up of my cabinet," he said.
"Equally, the real challenges that our city face and the great opportunities open to us means it is important I can draw on the full range of talent, experience and passion for Bristol on offer from amongst the 70 councillors from whom the law requires that I draw my cabinet."
Ms Holland said the Labour group welcomed the mayor's agreement to its conditions for participation in the cabinet, recording votes, and the use of scrutiny to develop and review options for the city's future.
"We also recognise his stated commitment to cabinet members being able to develop policy options, as well as our wider role in holding the mayor accountable," she added.
Following the recent local elections Mr Ferguson said he hoped all four parties would let their members join his cabinet, but insisted he would continue to take personal responsibility for all major decisions.

Berenice Abbott was one of the most versatile photographic artists of the twentieth century and her work has been published and publicized since the beginning of her career in 1925. She is best known for her Paris portraits of the 1920's and her documentation of New York City in the 1930's but, like most great artists, Abbott's reputation has rested on a small portion of her life's work. For every time one of her most famous photographs has been published there are many others that could have served the same purpose but were not used because they are less well known. Many of the photographs she did manage to create in those years were not sufficiently commercial to attract a publisher and she was financially unable to publicize them on her own, develop a project to its natural conclusion or, in some instances, even undertake a project of interest. The Unknown Abbott attempts to correct this situation and make some of Abbott's outstanding but largely unknown work available to a wider public. The Unknown Abbott is a very ambitious project that will present hundreds of outstanding Abbott images for the first time.

Chef Christian F. Puglisi opened restaurant Relæ in 2010 on a rough, run-down stretch of one of Copenhagen's most crime-ridden streets. His goal was simple: to serve impeccable, intelligent, sustainable, and plant-centric food of the highest quality—in a setting that was devoid of the pretention and frills of conventional high-end restaurant dining. Relæ is Puglisi's much-anticipated debut: like his restaurants, the book is honest, unconventional, and challenges our expectations of what a cookbook should be. Rather than focusing on recipes, the core of the book is a series of interconnected "idea essays," which reveal the ingredients, practical techniques, and philosophies that inform Puglisi's cooking. Hardcover.

Fanny is an extended portrait of a young girl's transition from child to woman. Made over a period of 23 years, the images are at once beautiful in their detail of light and identity, as well as frankly anthropological in their descriptive effect.

His access to the girl's and woman's character is direct and fascinating. Long known for his extended portraits of children and adolescents, this book is strong evidence of Sturges' permanent commitment to the people in his work. Hardback. 36,4x28,7 cm. 200 pages.

The definitive monograph on Jeremy Scott, one of the most creative and influential American designers working in fashion today. Jeremy Scott is an American designer whose sensibility has brought elements of humor, rebellion, and fantasy to the elevated culture of couture—from his earliest collections in Paris to the outrageous runway shows in recent years that led the New York Times to call him "fashion's last rebel." Creative, original, and iconic, Scott is the voice of his generation, his work a colorful marriage of the ubiquity of cultural reference with the refinement of high fashion. Referred to by Karl Lagerfeld as the only designer worthy of taking over at Chanel, Scott also dresses the icons of pop, from Madonna to Rihanna, and alongside his eponymous collections he is creative director of Moschino and designs streetwear for Adidas. This book reflects all the style of Jeremy Scott's world, from snapshots of fittings in his studio to Polaroids taken backstage at shows and editorial work from Inez and Vinoodh, Steven Meisel, Ellen von Unwerth, and Terry Richardson, among others. With an introduction by Jeffrey Deitch, this is a lavish survey of one of today's most iconic designers. Hardcover
A continuation of Silvana Editoriale's Posters series, this volume presents the most significant examples of advertising graphics produced by Italian shipping companies between 1885 and 1965. The graphics range from those produced for the first steam ships of the 1880s to those for the ocean liners of the 1920s, cruise liners of the 1930s and, finally, those for the last transatlantic lines in the 1960s. Posters: The Sea Voyage collects placards, posters, announcements, advertising leaflets, brochures and pamphlets produced to promote passenger ships, cruises, sea journeys and Atlantic crossings. In addition to identifying these graphics, text by architect and scholar Pablo Piccione contextualizes and historicizes the development of Italian graphic styles and tastes. Hardcover, 240pp., 280 color illus. Italian-English text.
This book is Carine Roitfeld.

This book shows the astounding versatility of Chanel's vision in Lagerfeld's hands, and ensures the little black jacket's future as a timeless classic.
Original Man is a compendium of the stories of extraordinary men. From household names including Andy Warhol, Freddy Mercury, and Yves Saint-Laurent to lesser-known personalities, the men presented here are incredibly diverse, yet all share entirely original lives. This book is the brainchild of UK men's fashion maven Patrick Grant. As Grant set about re-awakening the traditional Savile Row tailoring house of E. Tautz after a thirty-year slumber, he wanted to define the kind of man he aspired to be and to clothe. These are not the biographies of those the world considers to be the best writers, thinkers, or adventurers (though undoubtedly some arguably are). Rather, this book celebrates those that have lived lives that are genuinely different. Whether in the life of a stylist, a libertine, an artist, or a hero, originality and historical precedence trumps prowess; the manner of their endeavors is what counts, not the end result. This book showcases more than 80 original men who will inspire readers to lead a less ordinary life.
Features: Full color, hardcover, 240 pages. Language: English

This book chronicles the work of this young figurative painter, whose moody portraits reflect the youth of contemporary culture. Hernan Bas is known for his overgrown landscapes and intimate figurative portraits of beautiful boyish and hip young men. With a style that is energetic and gestural, his work nods to abstract expressionism yet remains contemporary in feel. His pieces are romantic and often uncompromisingly sexual, with dark narratives or open landscapes. A soft palette is met with the gorgeous contrast of unpredicted dark hues and vibrant colors, while his loose brushwork creates intricate textures. This lavish monograph is the most complete book devoted to Bas's career thus far, focusing on his paintings, film stills, and illustrations. 274 pages. 9.5 x 1.4 x 12.4 inches.
Influential and inspirational to professional hairstylists and kids on the streets alike, this is Guido's visionary view of hair in the new millennium.

Revered by his peers and followers as the leader of hair design, Guido is an artist in his own right. On the runway, his hair creations generate such buzz that his styles often turn into that season's look. His avant-garde creations have led him to work with the world's most important designers, photographers, magazines, and brands, and his styles have turned into fashion focal points equal to that of the designer dress being worn.

Written by Halston's niece and confidante, this is the first monograph to chronicle the designer's life and his glamorous, minimalist aesthetic that personified American fashion in the electric 1970s. After rising in the fashion world from his beginnings as a milliner for Bergdorf Goodman, Roy Halston Frowick (1932–1990) launched his eponymous womenswear label in 1968, buoyed by his connections with socialites and celebrities. As the creator of Jackie Kennedy's signature pillbox hat and as Liza Minnelli's fashion guru throughout the 1970s and '80s, Halston was synonymous both with American style's modern, glamorous look and an A-list clientele. The Halston look continues to be revered today as a marker of American fashion at its peak. This book chronicles the ultrachic Halston's journey from his homespun roots to the acme of urban fame, illustrated through the lens of the author's personal archives and early sketches, as well as unseen Joe Eula and Stephen Sprouse drawings. Hardcover.

just a quick update, the skipjack had its maiden voyage today at the Colorado Crew regatta, got video and pictures of it running on the surface, and submerged. I also took a bunch of photos of its WTC, i will be uploading them here on monday. the maiden voyage went great, only problem was the throttle setting needs to be dialed back to about half of what it currently is, max speed is about a scale 80 knots. ran it for 30 minutes with no leaks.
Jun 23, 2013, 08:56 PM | |||||
okay, so i lied, the photos wont be uploaded monday...
i have a couple of really short videos of the maiden, and a few photos, as well as some links to parts that i used for the build. if you have any questions, ask. videos:
photos: |
Jun 23, 2013, 09:05 PM | |
okay, so now the photos of the WTC:
basically what i have done is taken some major replacement parts from the thunder tiger neptune and adapted them to work for me. by buying these replacement parts i was able to save a ton of money versus buying from the germans. ImagesView all Images in thread
Jun 23, 2013, 09:15 PM | |
finally a parts breakdown, and methedology, again ask questions:
the moebius sub kit itself retails for around $90.00, i bought mine from freetime hobbies. I also bought the g-factor brass prop from them: http://www.freetimehobbies.com/GFM17204/ it took a lot of finesse to get the prop and prop shaft aligned nicely, i ended up using JB Weld to bond the prop to the propshaft, after machining the shaft to fit the prop. i bought a 4mm propshaft and stuffing tube from cornwall model boats, not sure which length, but the stuffing tube is about 5"... maybe $10 plus shipping. i bought the u-joint for the main shaft from cornwall as well (4mm to 4mm): http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/...ar.html#aC8000 polycarbonate tubing, 2 feet at mcmaster carr, $16 per foot for the 3.5" tubing four endcaps, molded by me, from my "inventory" of available sizes. 2 1/8" shaft seals from mikessubworks.com the motor and esc are hobbyking parts, designed originally for 1/10 r/c rock crawlers: esc: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=17228 motor: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=21954 (mine is silver, but the new version is anodized red) and the programmer: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...dProduct=10458 by getting the programmer, i am able to set the max speed of the motor to a more reasonable 6000 rpm at the prop, rather than the 15000 that the motor/esc/battery combo actually produces. subtotal of parts: $60 then the thundertiger neptune motor mount/shaft seal, as well as the shaft, and u-joint: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAJRY&P=Z http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAJSK&P=Z http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAJPG&P=Z i bought the shaft and u-joint, knowing i already had the cornwall part, but this allowed me to make it so that i could have a short stub shaft coming from the WTC, and a solid mounted shaft in the boat, connected together with the u-joint all three of these parts total about $30 then the pump: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAJSN&P=Z ($10 at tower, as much as $60 elsewhere) pump motor: http://www.hobbypartz.com/86ma60-2210-1650kv.html pump esc: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXURW9&P=7 the pump esc is the most expensive individual part, and i had it sitting in my parts box, otherwise i would have tried a 1/18 esc from hobbypartz or hobbyking, something to look into later, the ESC is overkill for the specific situation. and finally the battery: http://www.hobbypartz.com/77p-sl2200-2s1p-30c-2222.html i will be recharging this tonight, i ran the skipjack for a total of 45 minutes over the weekend. the single battery runs both the main motor and the pump, i really want to know how much juice i used. last but not least, i built the tech rack out of 1/8th polycarbonate sheet, as well as 4 "brackets" that i have moulded out of the same resin as the endcaps. this all works because of the sombra labs SL8 and its failsafe programming capabilities, without it, i wouldn't have done the brushless motor on the pump. |
Jun 24, 2013, 08:16 AM | |
pump esc url has been fixed.
the basic functionality of the sombra labs receiver allows me to set the failsafe position for the pump esc so that the bladder is emptied when the receiver loses signal (Program Value 96). this isn't as nice as the brushed pump controllers that norbert and engel sell, they also have low battery and pressure failsafes as well, but for 90% of the failure scenarios, the simple signal failure is enough. this receiver programming mode allows all 8 channels to be set to a user defined value, so along with the pump being set to "empty", all other channels are set to equally useful values (neutral dive planes and rudder, no throttle) |
Jun 24, 2013, 07:36 PM | |
two escs: 1) sensored hobbyking ESC for the main motor, programmed with the programming box to give it max forward and reverse speed of 40% of original max speed (roughly 6000rpm), as small a deadband/neutral range as possible, low startup speed, and very low motor timing. basically setting it up opposite to how it would be setup for a fast car. the sensored setup is how i am able to get such nice slow speed capabilities. max throttle is a little over scale, giving me a "panic" get out of harms way capability. 2) castle sidewinder micro ESC, used for the pump motor, and the only programming i have done for it is to give it zero brake, zero delay and 100% forward and reverse so when dealing with the pump, fill and empty take the same time. like i said, the castle esc is way over kill for what it is doing, but it was sitting on the shelf. programming was done with a castle link. I would not use the castle if i had to buy a new one. if i were to buy a new one, it would probably be this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html , and whatever programmer card it needs to set it up with 100% forward and reverse. |

Tech Weekly: Apple's iCloud Takes Shape
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple (APPL) was the week's biggest headliner, launching its iCloud service and a host of other software products at its Worldwide Developers' Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco on Monday.
CEO Steve Jobs was the star of the show in just his second public appearance since taking a medical leave of absence earlier this year. Jobs' keynote speech focused on the new iOS 5; Lion, the new Mac OS X; and iCloud, Apple's hotly anticipated cloud-based service aimed to streamline access to user files on all Mac devices.
Among the more interesting tidbits: iMessage, or integrated messaging across all iOS devices that includes the ability to share text, photos, videos, contacts and group messaging.
Much to tech watchers' dismay, there was no word on an iPhone update -- WWDC usually serves as the launchpad for Apple's latest phone iteration. Developers attending the event, however, were unperturbed by the absence of a new iPhone, and were keen to show off their latest apps.
> > Bull or Bear? Vote in Our Poll With investors largely underwhelmed by the company's WWDC announcements, Apple shares ended the week down 1.69% at $325.90.Elsewhere in California on Monday, Microsoft (MSFT - Get Report) announced plans to turn the Xbox into an entertainment hub for the living room. At the E3 video game show in Los Angeles, the software giant revealed plans to launch voice search capabilities for its Xbox 360 gaming system with the Kinect motion sensing device, giving users the ability to control live television, music and watch YouTube through verbal commands. Microsoft plans to bring its live television offering to the U.S. sometime next year in an attempt to keep up with rivals Google (GOOG) and Apple, which also have TV offerings. Xbox users will be able to access movies and TV on demand from Hulu. Netflix (NFLX) and YouTube will also be available with the Kinect through the Xbox service. Microsoft's stock closed down 1.06% at $23.70 on Friday.
