Depending on who you listen to, Los Angeles Unified's high school dropout rate is as high as 50 percent, as low as 25 percent - or somewhere in between.
Whoever you believe, the district's poor graduation rate has become one of the central issues raised by critics - including Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa - who say the city's economic future depends on improving Los Angeles' public schools, and that means producing a better educated generation of young people.
In bolstering his efforts to reform the city's education system, Villaraigosa has used figures from a Harvard University study that found that more than half of the high school students in the LAUSD drop out before getting a diploma.
That has prompted a sharp rebuttal from LAUSD officials, who maintain that the dropout rate is 24.6 percent - and certainly no higher than the 33.1 percent figure determined by the state in 2003-04. But even that, educators say, isn't good enough.
``Anytime you have 24 percent, that's a big problem; you want to reduce that. It is kind of like you're producing something and you had 24 percent of your product that you can't use, and that's not good,'' Superintendent Roy Romer said.
``Our whole acceptance of this for a period of years is wrong, and we ought to aim at every one of these individuals and say we want to give you an opportunity to continue to educate yourself and make sure you find good employment.''
Educators say the difference lies in how the rates are calculated - a process made even more difficult by the LAUSD's massive student body, 727,000 students.
In addition, a large number are immigrants, who are more difficult to track, which raises questions of whether they dropped out or simply moved elsewhere - an issue that is critical to determining the district's success and the need for reform.
``The difficulty is in finding and locating kids who have left the school - especially in LAUSD - when you're talking about hundreds of thousands of kids in the district and there's a lot of mobility in and out of schools and in and out of the city,'' said Donna Rothenbaum, education programs consultant for the California Department of Education.
``The dropout guidelines require you to really take time to find out what happened to those kids to determine if they really dropped out. It's really resource-intensive.''
The district's efforts to improve its dropout rate could be impacted this school year, when all high school students must pass the California High School Exit Exam, which tests language arts and math proficiency, in order to graduate.
Some 7,500 of the 36,000 students in the Class of 2006 still need to pass one or both parts of the exam, with just one more chance to take it this spring, officials said. If they still fail, they can attend summer school and take the test in the fall.
The district is pouring resources into after-school and weekend tutorial programs for students who have not yet passed.
It is that kind of targeted effort that prompted the district to calculate an 8 percentage point decline in dropout rates. In the past year, officials have pushed increased counseling, monitoring of students and personalized attention, especially in the ninth grade, the point where the district loses the bulk of its students.
It targeted high-risk students such as Sara Ramos, a student at Will Rogers Continuation School who seriously thought about dropping out last year until her teachers and principal took the time to persuade her to do otherwise.
Ramos, 17, said she's been able to take classes at Pierce College, attend a UCLA summer program and get work experience at a hospital.
``They give you more attention and they listen to you and there are a lot of opportunities,'' said Ramos of Pacoima.
The district's long-range plans include offering more vocational education classes and improving middle school programs to ensure that students are able to handle high school work by the time they get to ninth grade.
Los Angeles Unified School District officials maintain that even though they have successful programs in place to curb the dropout crisis, their inability to accurately track students makes the dropout rate appear worse than it is.
Currently, California schools use the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Educational Statistics calculation: high school graduates and high school dropouts aggregated over a four-year period.
But the state is in the process of collecting information for a statewide student tracking system that officials say will be able to track students wherever they move in California.
``All the kids have already been identified. Hopefully we'll finally start getting realistic counts of dropout rates and graduation rates,'' Rothenbaum said.
In the meantime, those who want to see the LAUSD broken into smaller districts or controlled by the mayor are using the most damaging numbers available to prove their case.
Former Assembly Speaker Bob Hertzberg, another advocate of reforming the LAUSD, defended the figures in the study by Harvard, which used enrollment and diploma data to calculate the dropout rate.
``This is not just politicians saying something. It's the No. 1 university in the world and they said it was 54 percent,'' he said. ``I think if they would not be so defensive and just focus on educating kids, I think they would do much better.''
But, school board member Julie Korenstein said, it harms students as well as the district when politicians use inflated and inaccurate figures.
``It's important to give valid information and, secondly, it's very demeaning to the people at our schools who are working so hard, because they're being told they're failures,'' said Korenstein, who two weeks ago stormed out of a luncheon at which Villaraigosa cited the 50 percent figure during a speech. ``To say a 50 percent dropout rate and, in fact, it's 24.6 percent, is a real disservice.''
Romer emphasized that contrary to the perception being perpetuated of a failing district, its progress has been faster than the average school in California's for the past six years.
It's working on increasing the graduation rate one student at a time, and Romer said he's certain the numbers will grow as it continues to improve student tracking accuracy, grow the small-school movement and target students at risk of dropping out.
``It's not a failing district. The district is succeeding rapidly, but we have so much more yet to go,'' Romer said. ``That doesn't mean we don't have a lot of work to do.
``Unfortunately, people are throwing around gross generalities, so we hurt children when we are not using accurate information.''
Ramos is one of those students the district was able to keep on track to graduation. She's planning on attending Pierce College for two years and then transferring to UCLA to study medicine.
``My principal said something that stuck. She said, picture yourself 10 years from now if you're a dropout,'' Ramos said. ``I thought, uh-uh, I don't want that to be me. I'm going to be home. I'm not going to have a job, an education, a college degree and I want to be someone in life.''

- Reinvented memories
- A beautiful winter day, with frosty smiling trees; a foggy and tender morning, with the smell of the day that is yet to come; a peculiar chair, just sitting in the window – all of these are simple and sweet memories of mine, my glimpses of life.
But all my memories and rememberings take a life of their own when they become images, colors, forms, textures and dimensions. They evolve, they change, they get transformed and lifted into a whole new world where their very essence and scent are the main characters.
This project, is exactly about that: reinventing things, situations, gestures, mimics, smells, places, feelings, looks, glances, and viewing them in another light, by focusing on their essence, on the intensity and understanding of one genuine little or large, big or small, thing, that once caught our attention.
I have changed my Behance address. For more projects, please visit my new Behance profile: http://www.behance.net/iuliaburlac

"I loved the quality of this card. I ordered it in the extra thick paper and it is great quality. As far as the design though, I really wish I would have taken out the "//" (two slashes). The slashes mix in with out actual date and it doesn't look right. Other than that, no complaints!"
"I was extremely happy with the service. They contacted me quickly and continued to work with me until I was happy with the product. Loved working with them."
"Very happy with our Save the Date postcards. I was able to use our photos and upload easily. They arrived faster than expected. If I could offer one bit of advice it would be to pay extra for the better paper. My cards were beautiful but I wish I would have opted for the higher quality paper, it would have been just a little more money for a richer look."
"these save the dates were great, simple and beautiful. We are having two receptions in two states: we went ahead and ordered the same exact ones just changed the date and location on each of them!! Really great price for the 150 we ordered, and such great discounts available if your timing (or online sleuthing skills) is just right."
"Perfect selection for our taste. Paper quality was great, however I would have liked more choices rather than super thick and shiny. Printing came out great, as well as font choices. I loved that I could personalize as much as I wanted but not too much and become overwhelmed. All my requests were met. Cannot wait to hear what my family says!"

Quantal is now open for development.
Matthias Klose announce: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...il/035152.html
"Quantal is now open for development, with syncs from unstable starting shortly.
The development version starts with updated versions of GCC and OpenJDK, some
soname changes (boost, hdf5), and some changes with setting the build flags for
package builds. We are finally targeting Python3 as the
only Python version on the ISO/installation images.
- GCC 4.7 is now the default, introducing some build failures caused
by unknown compiler options, and more C++ strictness. Hints how to fix
packages can be found at [1]. Bug reports for packages are not yet
filed directly in Launchpad, but can be found on the Debian BTS instead [2].
- OpenJDK 7 is now used as the default, replacing OpenJDK 6, introducing
some build failures. The build status can be tracked at [3], open issues
are tracked at [4].
- Removing build flags exported from dpkg-buildpackage for quantal will
get us in sync with Debian. Implications and fixes are discussed
on the ubuntu-devel ML [5].
- Python 3 is now again part of a minimal chroot on quantal, and will
be the only Python version provided on the ISO/installation images
for quantal. Packages which need updates and ports for Python 3
are tracked at [6]
Please check your uploads in a quantal chroot, don't just test in a precise
environment. See [7] how to setup such a development chroot."

"Our family of friends totally enjoyed this home over the break. We had gathered in the islands to spend time together in memory of a great husband and friend. It was a little bit of an emotional gathering and your home was the perfect environment for us. It seemed to have good energy and put everyone in a happy and relaxed mood. With 5 adults staying together, there was plenty of space for us. We all had our privacy while staying in luxurious accommodations. We also were able to invite a few local friends and family to spend time on property during the day and everyone loved the house! We spent the majority of our time outside. The huge patio and backyard surrounded by shady areas with lush trees, flowers and other plants were perfect for gathering, relaxing and visiting. We also really enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings, under the stars. Plus the beach was just a 2 minute walk away! Inside, a beautiful yet comfortable and homey environment again perfect for gathering and visiting. The owner was very hospitable, attentive and accommodating. Almost every aspect of the home from decor, furnishings, linens and appliances were of high quality and worth every penny! So glad we decided to stay here instead of a hotel! This was a little slice of heaven in paradise. And we can't wait to come back soon."Guest: CK L. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 21, 2015View listing

Contrary to how we traditionally think about organizations, leaders are developing strategies and shaping culture across all levels. And, contrary to the myth of the "all-knowing-all-powerful" leader, inspired leadership requires vulnerability: Do we have the courage to show up, be seen, take risks, ask for help, own our mistakes, learn from failure, lean into joy, and can we support the people around us in doing the same?

Halo: Spartan Assault is the next project from 343 Industries, a top-down twin stick shooter for Windows 8 powered phones, tablets, and PCs including the Surface. It's an exclusive to Windows 8 devices designed for touch controls but it will support mouse and keyboard controls plus the wired Xbox 360 controller (via a title update post release).
Yes, it's obviously an attempt by Microsoft to drive more Windows 8 sales using the Halo branding, but I don't think even a Halo game can pull that off. That's not to say Spartan Assault isn't fun. In fact, I really enjoyed playing the game on both a Windows 8 phone and tablet.view full story + comments

343 Industries will be bringing a new Forge World map to Halo 4 on April 11th. Titled "Forge Island," the map will allow players to use the in-game map editor to create something using this island themed map as a base for their creation. It'll also come with new Forge pieces.
There's some gameplay footage of Forge Island above if you're interested (the best footage starts at 47:00). Even though it's a pretty small token, I've really enjoyed the post-launch support Halo 4 has gotten -- between Spartan Ops, map packs, and playlist support, 343 has done a great job keeping the game relevant.
The final map pack (that's been announced so far, at least) will drop on April 8th.

Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, IN
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Eastern Conference became a lot more interesting after Derrick Rose's successful return to the Chicago Bulls.
The former MVP scored 13 points in 20 minutes in an 82-76 exhibition victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.
"Same old Derrick Rose," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "He looked great."
Rose led the Bulls to the No. 1 seed in the East two seasons ago before he tore his left ACL during the playoffs, then missed all of last season while recovering. He said he had some nerves Saturday that quickly went away.
"I felt great," Rose said. "I felt normal, I felt the way I've been playing in practice. I'm just trying to get my timing back."
He was at his lightning-fast best against the Pacers in the preseason opener for both teams, breaking away for several layups and converting a steal and dunk in the third quarter. He appeared unafraid of contact, constantly challenging Indiana's large front line.
"That's the way he played before the injury, and he's back to playing like that," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "And for him, that's his game. The speed, the quickness, the power to go along with it -- that's what makes him so special and unique. There's no one like him."
Rose misconnected with his teammates several times and committed four turnovers. Rose said he was going too fast, and his coach agreed.
"The speed at which he plays, you've got to get accustomed to," Thibodeau said. "His teammates have to get used to it again, and he has to get used to it, but overall, I thought he played very, very well."
Indiana's Danny Granger also returned after missing most of last season with a left knee injury. He finished with six points on 2-for-10 shooting in 29 minutes.
"He was a little rusty, and I wouldn't expect anything but that," Vogel said. "His game condition is in the final part of his recovery."
Taj Gibson had 18 points and 12 rebounds, Luol Deng scored 15 points and Jimmy Butler added 11 for the Bulls. Paul George and David West each scored 14 points and Roy Hibbert added 11 points and nine rebounds for the Pacers.
Rose sat on the bench praying in the moments before the opening tip. A large contingent of Bulls fans made the short trip, and they cheered loudly the first time he touched the ball. On his first shot attempt, he challenged the 7-foot-2, 290-pound Hibbert. Rose missed, but got the offensive rebound and scored.
"They hit me in practice," Rose said. "I'm used to getting hit now. Falling, slipping -- I got that out the way."
At 7:17 in the first quarter, Rose stepped in to try and take a charge from Lance Stephenson, but he was called for a block. He played the first 7:02 and went 1 for 4 from the field with an assist. Rose sat on the baseline and rolled a softball under the back of the previously injured knee while he was out of the game.
He returned with 8:31 remaining in the second quarter. He showed some of his speed with a breakaway layup with 7:45 left in the second quarter, though it might have been a dunk in his pre-injury days. Later, after a steal, Rose came up stretching his right leg out.
Then, it happened. Carlos Boozer snagged a rebound and swung the ball out to Rose, who ran the length of the floor in seemingly no time, scored an up-and-under layup and was fouled. He made the free throw to give the Bulls a 34-31 lead with 4:32 left in the first half.
Rose scored another fast-break layup less than a minute later, then hit Deng with a perfect setup for a 3-pointer to push Chicago's lead to 39-33. Rose took a hard foul from Hibbert with 1:34 left in the first half, but quickly got up and walked away, maintaining the calm demeanor he was known for before his injury. He made both free throws to give Chicago a 41-36 lead.
Rose had 11 points on 4-for-10 shooting in the first half. He had four turnovers in the second quarter. Early in the third quarter, Rose stole the ball and finished with his first dunk, a two-handed jam. He sat for good with Chicago holding a 50-49 lead, and Indiana immediately went on a 9-0 run to take a 58-50 lead and force a Chicago timeout.
Granger played in five games last season. He has a career average of 18.1 points and was an All-Star in 2009 who averaged 25.7 points per game that season. In his absence, George emerged as an All-Star and recently signed a lucrative contract.
Granger entered the game with 6:02 left in the first quarter. He made his first basket, a 3-pointer, with 10:54 left in the second quarter.
"It was a good first step," Granger said. "My second wind didn't kick in during the first half like it usually does, but it was good to get that under my belt."
Game notes
Rose turned 25 on Friday. ... Bulls C Joakim Noah missed the game with a right groin strain. ... Granger doesn't practice more than two days in a row and only participates in one practice during two-a-days. ... Former Pacers Dahntay Jones and Mike Dunleavy now play for the Bulls while ex-Bull C.J. Watson is with the Pacers.

A Long Time Coming.
I had this pole barn built about 3 years ago and promptly filled it with projects. I became the guy I used to make fun of when I was much younger. A bunch of projects, and not really working on any of them, not really getting anything finished. Its not like I work for some spoiled son of a wealthy dad, who can piss money away paying me a weekly paycheck to build his pipe dream junk, to impress his fake friends. I had too many incomplete possessions, and not many quality completions. The funny thing is, I had the barn built so I could have a bitchin shop to build these projects, that were now in the way of that dream. Many factors come into play at the same time here. My day job that I loved was literally in a cave, an underground shop that was great, but due to my health and continuing sinus problems (body shop guys know what I'm talking about) I had to leave. I started another dream project the "Beatnik Bandit" clone, while some other things I have started still sat stagnant, waiting to be finished. While out of work, and with a lot of time on my hands, I did some hard thinking with star trek "Vulcan" logic, and the clarity of mind like a Kung Fu Shaolin Priest. In October my brother from another mother "Poncho Bill" dropped off his 57 Starchief for me to go through and give a make over. Bill was the final piece to the "get your ass in gear" puzzle. I didn't want to let my friend down, my wife, or myself. So, while fishing in the pond, sipping a few beers, chatting with Poncho, the harsh truth that came was the fact that if I cut loose those projects, that I have not yet started or was not really into, I could make room and money to build the shop I wanted, and finish up the projects that I love, and Bill's Pontiac. I took it several steps further and cleaned house of everything, old magazines, extra car and motorcycle parts, if it wasn't for a project I was working on, it had to go! I had a stack of old Barris "how to do it" books from the 90's sitting in my closet, that I had not looked at since I moved to Missouri six years ago. I sold them all, and got over $300.00 bucks! and that was just some old books sitting on the closet floor. I am still going through the many boxes of stuff I have in the basement of my house, and getting rid of it on ebay, Facebook and Chop Cult. To be honest, I have cleared just about $10,000.00 grand in my clean up (as a side note a good chunk of that went on the side for Mrs Fritz's new car) but I've spent well over five grand in the barn, and now have a 16 by 30 paint booth, a 24 by 30 machine shop and tool room, and a 30 by 30 work space. It feels good! It feels even better, mentally, to have unburdened my self of life's extra crap that accumulates as time goes on. I haven't posted much because I have taken my own advice. I got out in the garage and built something "A GARAGE" !!!!!! Do some early spring cleaning and clear your head, mind and soul, and a space in the garage for that project you have always wanted to do. I did it, and you can too! Qui Chang Fritz

Bandit Post Nov.23, 2014
Yah you noticed huh? I haven't posted on the blog for a long ass time. I had nose sinus surgery. My sinuses were clogged, as in jam packed with polyps, to the point where I could not really breath out my nose, it was horrible. I had a hard time bouncing back from the surgery, a real hard time, to the point where I had to quit my job 'cause I just can't be around the dust and paint fumes too much for a while. At least at home I can control my body shop style environment, and get away to breathe some fresh air when I need to, or have to. That's it in a nut shell. I don't wanna bring you down with my silly shit. I have been working on the "Beatnik Bandit" clone a bunch! My friend Ellis Kendrick has even been helping mix the Plaster as I goop a body out of buckets! I am still waiting for the radiator shop to do what they have to, then I take it, and work on it, and give it back. Time . . . its all just time, but I can't work on the nose of the car until I get the radically shortened radiator back and mounted. Its a childhood dream really. I hope to share it with all you crazies when its done. Get out in the garage and build something! Fritz

The beginnings of the "Beatnik Bandit" clone
I've been busy in the garage for the past few weeks working on the "Beatnik Bandit" clone. I have all my reference stuff spread out on the work bench, a Revell model kit, pics and notes I took when I was at a show with the real Bandit, and the hot rods by Ed Roth book! I want to get to a point, and then I will put it aside for a bit to work on the Knuckle chopper project. I want to get that on its two wheels and kickstand so I can roll it around. As you can see from the pics of me holding the model kit instructions up next to the rolling frame, its looks just like the plastic kit gang! I also will be doing some straight body work on my pal Poncho Bill's 57 Pontiac Starchief over the winter. Lots of good stuff guys, shoot me an e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com, lets see what you guys have going on this winter. Get out in the garage and build something! FRITZ

Winter Projects/Getting Ready
I have had some stuff sit for far too long, things happen, life gets in the way, you know the deal. I have had this twin Carb Knuckle, chromed and polished, sitting in the corner of the garage, for the last 5 years, longer if you count the time it sat when I lived in Long Island New York. It is now covered in body shop dust and paint overspray. I am a very bad person. This never should have happened. it will be a dust collector no more. I pulled it out, and It will be one of my winter projects this coming season. Another project I have been collecting parts for, (and I am gonna spill the beans here gang), is "The "Beatnik Bandit" I bought the 1950 Oldsmobile frame from flat top Bob In Wellington Texas about eight or so years ago. Same thing with the olds V-8 engine. I drug the motor home to long Island from Door Michigan, and the frame from Texas, and then five years ago I moved it all to Kansas City. I never give up "NEVER". So, check back, it will be a slow couple of projects, I wanna enjoy them. I have gotten a few e-mail with pics of the stuff you guys are building. I'll have to do a blog post with them all. Quite a few of you guys have bought my "How to build a fiberglass body at home" DVD and put the info to good use. I think I can Honestly say that I single handily started a new show rod movement! One of you crazy guys is even building a custom one off nose for their Model A, very neat indeed. Get out there guys, turn off the TV it sucks any way and get out in the garage and build something !

"6th Street Specials"
"6th street specials", a freaking landmark in New York City's lower east side. If you ride an English bike you know this place. When I worked at "Iron Horse Magazine", we were there a lot, Indian Larry and Paul Cox both worked there in the mid 80's. Hugh, who runs the shop, was featured on the TV show "Cafe Racer". Since 1986 Hugh and Dimitri (RIP) ran the shop. Now Hugh and his trustee wrench "Fumi" keeps all the cool kids up and running on their Triumph's - BSA's and what not. This is not some designer motorcycle shop like a Harley dealer, this is a knuckles down, bare bones bike shop. You will not see leather chaps and fingerless gloves for sale here. They work on bikes "THAT'S IT". You can buy parts and maybe a shop T-shirt. If you are ever in NYC, you should stop by and see what a real bike shop looks like. bBy a T-shirt so Hugh can have some pocket money for tea and cookies, and don't wage to much of the man's time, he has a shop to run for Christ's sake! You can find "6th Specials" at 703 East 6th Street, New York, NY 10009 My wife Carrol being patient while I chat with my pals. Hugh hard at work during my visit. That's how he rolls, he worked through our whole conversation The Amazing Fumi spinning wrenches in the basement on a customers bike. A fixture at the shop, Greaser Mike, a lower east side legend in his own right!

A Day with Paul Cox
A lot of you might not know it but Paul Cox and I go back a long way. In the late 1980's, when he was over at 6th Street Specials with Indian Larry (Sportster Larry at the time I think), I would stop by with my riding pals and not say too much. Later on I was a staff writer and Assistant Editor for "Iron Horse Magazine". We all got to know each other better in those days, and as time went on we all sort of stayed in touch. I lived out on Long Island, so it was hard for me to get into New York City, especially as my painting business "Spritz BY Fritz" grew. A few weeks ago I stopped by Paul's new shop to say hello, catch up on life, and share stories about the old days in the Lower East Side, when we all worked together at Psycho Cycles. Paul is a real artist, bikes, leather, knives, paint on canvas etc. If I had to compare him with a historical counter culture figure it would be "Von Dutch", only without all the hate. Paul is still building beautiful bikes! I took a few pics to share with you cats of the work and awesome detail that was going on during my visit. Also, a few pics of the paint job he gave me to do for a new build. What are you guys up to? Lemme know. Get out in the garage and build something! FRITZ

On the road to NYC via Carlisle and Oley, PA.
I spent quite a few days on the road the last week or so with the great "Johnny Sparkle" as my co pilot. We met up with Greaser Mike and Poncho Bill from NYC, at spring Carlisle in PA, and had a blast. I didn't buy much, some old tech books, a busted Mac air ratchet that I will hand in for a new one, and a dozen pair of socks for 10 bucks! Around the corner from our hotel was a fantastic arcade place where we loaded up on tickets playing skee ball, and ignoring the "do not bump" stickers on the motor go karts! That was two days of good fun. We then moved on to to Oley, PA for the antique motorcycle meet, that was better. Even though I can't afford anything at these meets, I love walking around looking at all the history, guys riding around on old 8 valve factory Harley race bikes, pre unit Triumphs, 4 cylinder Indians & Henderson's, belt drive Popes, you get the idea. I took a bunch of pics and will filter them onto the blog a bit at a time for you guys to enjoy. In my honest opinion, the Oley meet was way better then Davenport, there was just so much more stuff around. Davenport does have the flat track races, so maybe its about even. Get out in the garage and build something!

Hungry? Scare those fridge-bound famished food foragers with a head in a jar!
Using a photo editor, two pictures are blended together to create flat image of a head, which is then laminated and submerged in a jar. When the flattened image in inserted into the curved jar, along with the distortion from the water, gives the illusion of a decapitated head in a jar of preserving fluid.
Here's what you need to make your own:
- Photo editing software
- Large jar
- food colouring
- printer + access to lamination service (local print/copy store)
Making your own head in a jar is easy, but requires some photo editing skills. I've included a tutorial on how I made mine, and took me about 30 minutes to compose. Personalizing this prank will make it more effective. But, if you're not a pro with photo editing, you can download my flattened head image below.
Step 1: Take photos + import
To make the head printout you'll need 2 pictures of a head, a profile and a portrait. With the camera at eye-level, take a picture straight on and one from the side. Ensure your subject is well lit. Also, ask them to make a face.
Next we'll import these images into a photo editing suite. Since the final output will be on a standard A4 / 8.5" x 11" printer paper, start by opening your photo editing software and opening a new document set to your printer paper size. Then, import the profile and portrait pictures of your subject onto new layers and resize them to fit your workspace. We'll resize them again after merging the faces together.
Step 2: Adjust levels + align images
Using your photo editor trim away any background so that you are left with just the face.
After trimming, if your two pictures have different lighting adjust the lighting levels (ctrl+L in most applications)
Using the eye as a level, align the two images so the features match up from the profile to the portrait (eyes, mouth, nose all aligned). Almost all photo editors have a ruler function, these help keep things true.
Worked pretty well for a headless man costume! People kept stopping to take pictures.
This is really cool! Great idea :)
Great stuff! Love that eerie glow.
Enjoy the 3-month Pro Membership!
Thank you for the brilliant tutorial, my daughter and I decided to take it to a different level...
Ha! This is the best version I've seen yet. Very clever, thanks for sharing such a fun video. Enjoy the Pro membership!
That is awesome
oh Gruesome!
How freaky is this! that man looks like me! great job though!
Here is a couple pictures from pre-Halloween night of my head in a jar. I put it on the "floating table" next to where I was handing out candy.
I made a table top from scrape wood and held it up with a single black post. The post inner layer is a pipe that is buried into the ground to provide the structure and the outer layer is to directs fog up to the table top and falls out around the edges. It looks good in the dark.
Yikes, that looks good on the table.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the 3-month Pro Membership!
Thanks, Mike! This was an awesome project for me and my daughter. This is what my wife will see when she gets home today (see photos). Thanks again!
You should film your wife's reaction, and upload it to http://www.iprank.tv. A lot of people will like this.
This looks so good, both in and out of the fridge!
I hope your wife is spooked when she comes home. I'd love to see pictures of the reaction if you can get them.
Enjoy the 3-month Pro Membership!
Hi, Mike!
She was certainly spooked. In fact, she said loudly, "That's Creepy!". Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera in my hand to get her reaction. Thanks again for the great project, Mike!
Great idea! I made it for this past halloween and it came out great. I wish I had used a slightly smaller jar, mine was just a little too big but it managed to pass. Next years will be perfect! :)
Thanks again for sharing.
That looks great! Thanks for sharing, enjoy the 3-month Pro Membership
I telecommute, so was able to set up a pretty sweet background for conferences. Canned the whole family and used them at various Halloween events throughout the day. Was also able to coordinate with a co-worker to get my head into the office.
This was a fantastic idea and made my Halloween! Thanks!
Ha, great idea for a conference backdrop. The axe is a nice touch!
Thanks for sharing your version. Enjoy the 3-month Pro Membership.
Wow, that's awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Good luck with your album, I'm listening to it right now.
Enjoy the 3-month Pro. Stay awesome!
This is really awesome. I will do this next Halloween!
I made this and put it in the fridge and when my brother whent in there he screamed like a girl. LOL!
My god, Man, that's Brilliant!!
I was out of the office on Halloween but still managed to win the costume contest with the help of this Instructable! I was short on time, so I used two sheets of clear contact paper instead of getting it laminated and sealed the edges with my heat gun. I think the addition of a wig that another user suggested went a long way toward the realism. Today's my first day back in the office and I have had a dozen people stop me to talk about how creepy it was.
Whoa. Creepy! That hair is a great touch, and your expression totally puts this over the top!
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the 3-month Pro Membership.
Here is my contribution! Including hair for added authenticity, and a equally authentic creepy environment.
Good staging with your head in a jar.
Enjoy the 3-month Pro Membership!
Hey Michael,
I tried reaching out to you by email. Came back as not a domain, I have a few questions for you if you have the time on this particular project. PM me on FB whenever you have the chance please? Thanks again for sharing this
This was GREAT instructable for a quick to make prank since u were soooo nice to share ur pic. I put my work at eye level and in your face when u open the left fridge door. Sorry about the glare from interior light-photographer I'm not. Thanks again!!!

You can use any monochromatic color scheme for this bracelet from Katie Hacker. Try shades of red, purple, turquoise or green for an equally dramatic effect.
- .018 diameter bright Beadalon 19 Strand More Flexible Bead Stringing Wire
- About 30 assorted black/metallic mixed seed beads
- About 180 assorted black/metallic 8mm glass beads
- Six 2mm silver crimp tubes silver toggle clasp
- 24-gauge Silver craft wire
- Designer Crimper
- Nipper tool
- 18 assorted black/metallic 6/0 seed beads
- Six 1 1/2" silver head pins
- 2 silver ear wires
- Two 8mm jump rings
- Beadstorm™ Round Nose Pliers
- Beadstorm™ Chain Nose Pliers
- Nipper tool
- Cut six 9 1/2" lengths of Beadalon 19 Strand More Flexible Wire. Hold two strands together and string a crimp tube 1/2" from the end. String the Beadalon wire through half of the clasp and back into the crimp tube to form a small loop. Use a crimping tool to crimp the crimp tube. Repeat for the other sets of two strands.
- Working with one strand at a time, string sections of 1/2"-1" of mixed seed beads alternating with 8mm beads. The look is very random, so don't spend too much time on bead placement. Place a piece of tape over the last inch of beading wire to prevent the beads from sliding off while you work on the next strand.
- When you've beaded each strand, use crimp tubes to attach the clasp as in Step 1. Cut a 1" length of craft wire. Hold the crimp tubes together and wrap the wire tightly around them to create a decorative coil. Repeat for the other end of the bracelet.
- String a black bead and three 6/0 beads onto a head pin. Use round nose pliers to make a loop above the black bead. Cut off any extra wire and attach the beaded head pin to a jump ring. Use two 6/0 beads, a silver bead and a 6/0 bead to make a beaded head pin and attach it to the jump ring. Use three 6/0 beads to make a beaded head pin and attach it to the jump ring. Attach the jump ring to an ear wire.
Tip: Follow the instructions on the crimp tool package to crimp the crimp beads or tubes.

(The online version of this story has been corrected to reflect, as indicated in the second paragraph, that "...the explosion resulted in the release of chemicals..." and not "from the release" as published in Wednesday's print edition of the story. The C-I apologizes for any confusion.)
A fourth grade Pine Tree Hill Elementary School (PTHS) male student faces disciplinary action after allegedly bringing a small BB gun to the school Thursday. Kershaw County School District (KCSD) Director of Communications Mary Anne Byrd said the incident occurred at dismissal time.
A small vessel, or container, "over-pressurized and ruptured," at WeylChem US Inc.'s Elgin plant Friday causing "a very loud noise." Several Elgin residents called the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office after they heard the explosion around 3:45 p.m.
Two women close to Adriana Laster hope she is found soon … and have a warning about the man who may be responsible for her disappearance. Her aunt and legal guardian, Dorothy Forston, of Alabama, and Phyllis Horn, the grandmother of Laster's daughter, described the missing woman as a "sweet, little kid" who grew up to be an attentive, if not always present mother. Laster disappeared last September while living with Freddie Grant, 52, who is being held in connection with the disappearance of Columbia teenager Gabrielle "Gabbie" Swainson.
An Elgin man and his girlfriend came home to find a man sleeping on their couch. The victim said the man ate about $20 worth of food from their home and left the kitchen "a mess."
A woman whose Greyhound ran off during a walk has Camden's top cop to thanks for helping reunite her with the dog. Camden Police Chief Joe Floyd helped Barbara Loury find her missing Greyhound this week after it got loose from its collar on East DeKalb Street.
In mid-June, Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) investigators arrested 36-year-old Michael Browning for allegedly sexually abusing his own daughters. Browning pled guilty Wednesday and will spend the next 25 years in prison.
A 52-year-old man charged with kidnapping a missing northeast Richland County teen is now a person of interest in the 2011 murder of an Elgin man.
Freddie Grant was married, baptized and elected as a trustee of Ft. Clark Baptist Church, in Elgin, long before he became a suspect in the kidnapping of 15-year old Gabrielle "Gabbiee" Swainson.
Richland County Sheriff's Department (RCSD) deputies charged an Elgin man Tuesday with kidnapping in connection with the disappearance of a 15-year-old Richland County girl. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott identified the man as Freddie Grant, 52, of Kelly Road, in the town of Elgin.
Three men held a woman at gunpoint and hit a man so hard that several of his teeth were broken after they "forcibly" entered a home on Marion Street in Lugoff early Monday morning.
The Camden Police Department (CPD) is looking for a man who allegedly robbed a convenience store more than a week ago. The store is identified in a CPD report as being at the corner of U.S. 521 South and Black River Road.
Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) investigators arrested a 35-year-old county man for allegedly sexually assaulting his 17-year-old daughter. In order to protect the victim's identity, the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) is not releasing the suspect's name.
An Elgin man ended up in the hospital after being shot the morning of Aug. 14 by S.C. Highway Patrol (SCHP) troopers in Columbia following a chase on I-20 that ended in Columbia's Five Points district.
(The online version of this story has been updated to correct three errors. A quote in the 22nd paragraph, regarding the support of life partners is now correctly attributed to Gary Parnell and not his father, Gene.
