Teach a man to Fish (Fark Board Beginner Questions) Posted by timdallinger on 12/13 at 12:52 pm Ladies and Gents of the Fark board, The Fark board is a unique place on this message board and the internet in general. It gives artists a place to post their creations. Board contributors might create jokes that a requestor did not anticipate. However, if the poster is good-natured (and the request is possible and not too labor-intensive), one of the talented artists will generally grant their request. People have claimed that this particular board has some of the best image-manipulation posters on the web. Fellow Farkers, let's try to help others learn the process and increase the list of regular, quality contributors. All of us who edit photographs and create digital art started somewhere. This thread is designed as a place where the experienced members of the Fark board can help beginners with FAQ's. Getting started: The prospective artist will need software. most individuals here use Photoshop, Corel Paint, GIMP or Paint.net. Some people even use Microsoft Paint. Photoshop is generally considered the gold standard. It is very powerful however, it is expensive. GIMP is freeware. It can be dowloaded here: GIMP Download It is has a lot of capacity as well and best yet, it's free. It can be difficult to learn. Paint.net is another option. It can be downloaded here: Paint.net Download It is also free and quite intuitive. However, it lacks some of the capabilities of the previous programs. There are additional free plug-ins that add functionality. Microsoft Paint is already on most computers with Windows. It is widespread but very, very basic. Still, some can create incredible drawings with practice and patience. If anyone has a question about how to create a specific effect, feel free to post here. Also posters can link tutorials that are especially helpful. Remember, image manipulation is a skill. Practice will really improve anyone's ability. New digital artist, good luck! Reply Back to Top |
Posted by timdallinger on 12/13 at 1:06 pm to timdallinger Signature Pics and Avatars Sig pics are a great place to start. The TD legend, Stout, created a location for people to make their requests on the Help board. Sig Pic Requests Some individuals who like to change their sigs often might be better suited to learn how to make them themselves. Also, as the format is small, it is quite forgiving of mistakes. It's a great place to practice important techniques. When I began digital editing, I looked through the entire thread to see what was possible. It also gives you an appreciation for individual artists' style. Sig and Avatar requirements from the TigerDroppings FAQ board: Images should be approximately 30 Kbytes in size. Anything larger than that causes threads to load up slowly. Avatars should be no more than 150 pixels in height and 150 pixels in width. Signature images should be no more than 150 pixels in height and 400 pixels in width. To view an image's pixel size, right-click on the images and go to Properties. The dimensions are shown as width by height. Animated .gifs may be removed as well. Let's begin. Start a new design in your image editting software of choice. Be sure to note the size requirements. The final product can be no larger than 400 pixels wide by 150 high. This area is quite small with which to work. For sigs, I usually start with a 800x300 size (and resize by 50% when I am finished) so I have plenty of workspace. Begin your creation. Use different tools to create your desired effect. Layers are a very important concept to learn. It is exactly how it sounds; different "layers" within an image. So you can edit one layer without affecting the rest of the image. Be sure to save the document in the required format to maintain these layers. When you are finished creating, you need to save (or print) your image to JPEG or PNG format. This will flatten your layers and you will no longer be able to edit them individually. So be sure to save another copy in a format that can be edited or know that you are completely done. Be sure that the file size is lower than 30k or it will likely be removed. You will lose some resolution by going with a smaller file size but it is the requirements.

Posted by timdallinger on 12/13 at 1:10 pm to timdallinger Vectors Vs. Raster Images I get this question often when I post my Vectors. How to create Vectors is a much longer post and I am still learning myself. I have previously written how I create them and will elaborate more on it later. My method is very labor-intesive. Generally speaking, there are two types of digital images: raster and vector. Most images you see are raster. They are made of pixels. The more pixels, the higher resolution. Zoom into any raster image and you can see the individual pixels. When you change the size of the image, a computer just resizes those pixels. That is why most enlarged images appear fuzzy. Vectors are different. They are "lossless." That means they are saved in smooth lines. If you zoom in very close to a vector, the line remains smooth. Vectors are characterized by clean, solid lines. They don't have gradients. For this reason, they are good choice for logos. Here is where things get a little a complicated. The files I posted are raster images exported from vector files. I create a vector illustration but to post it, I have to export it as a bitmap. So you are truly seeing the vector. The type of image I create is like a rotoscope (think Scanner Darkly). They are vector traces of photographs. Their complexity depends on the detail and the number of discreet colors used. There are filters that can create vector images. I use these to help. However, a design done by hand will look better than a filter. For example, there is a specific rotoscope filter that was used for A Scanner Darkley. It is not available for purchase though. Anyway, even with that incredible digital tool, it still took 50 artists over 500 hours to create that film. This post was edited on 12/13 at 1:42 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by timdallinger on 12/13 at 1:24 pm to timdallinger Fonts Fonts are a great way to add to an image. Your computer comes loaded with certain ones. However, you can add to this list. I use the website called dafont: DAFONT Their fonts are free for personal use. For commercial use, there are ways to contact the individual authors. It should go without saying but if you choose to use these fonts for commerical projects without compensating the designer, it is essentially stealing and there are likely legal consequences. I don't know; I'm not a lawyer. Using that website, find the font you want. Download it and save it to your computer. It will be a zipped file. Unzip and retreive the TFF file. This is a font file that contains a vector design for each letter. Go to My Computer> Local Disk (C: Drive) > Windows > Fonts Put your TFF file in the font directory. Now, your photo editing software (as well as Microsoft Office programs) will include that choice. I am unfamiliar with the procedure for Mac users. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by DawgFARKer on 12/13 at 9:03 pm to timdallinger Hosting/Posting an Image So you have created your first Fark masterpiece and you're ready to share it with the online world. The next step is to save the image in a format (typically JPG or GIF) that is recognized by an online image host site. The below text explaining this process is (mostly) excerpted from NC_Tigah's excellent Farkitecture - The Basics in Fark Construction topic quote: Reply Back to Top |

Posted by SCUBABlake on 12/14 at 3:39 pm to Rattlehead Played around with Gimp a bit last night... and quickly realized I'm gonna have to get a wireless mouse for my laptop. Some of it came back to me from using Photoshop a bit in college, then I couldn't get my layers to do what I wanted them to and subsequently hurled my week old laptop into my pool. Ok, not really, but I abandoned my fark idea for the evening and had a beer. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by HBTD on 12/14 at 9:21 pm to Rattlehead Okay. So you can tell what a beginner I am. Where should I start trying to get better? Obviously everywhere, but how do I make my images look slicker and more seemless? This post was edited on 12/14 at 9:35 pm Reply Back to Top |

Posted by HBTD on 12/15 at 6:44 am to LSU Fan SLU Grad quote: Thanks for your advice. I was looking for a bit more technical advice. So there is no way to "darken" the skin of the face to match the tone of the rest of the skin? Also, how do I clean up the edges of a cut out without looking like I took a 2nd grade eraser to it? Reply Back to Top |
Posted by HooDooWitch on 12/15 at 9:21 am to HBTD Best advice I can give anyone is to watch the GIMP tutorials on YouTube and practice at the same time. To select an image: 1- Use Zoom Tool to enlarge image to fit the screen 2- Use Free Select Tool or Paths Tool to outline image. 3- Once image is Copied go to the image you would like Past it on and Add Layer. 4- Paste image on New Layer and click the EYE on the right pallet to turn off the lower layer. 5- Use the Eraser Tool and Zoom Tool to get in close on your pasted image and clean up the edges. 6- Where the skin areas need to blend I Select Eraser, and use the Fuzzy Brush under the Brushed menu on the left pallet. This softens the edges a bit and I think helps in blending skins. 7- (I got this tip from KingHippo) Click on the EYE on the right pallet to view the lower layer, then Click on the Colors Tab and click Brightness-Contrast. Use this to tweak the skin tones on one layer to match the other layer. You may select each layer and play with tones in both till they are as close as you can get them. 8- Then Merge both layers to together and use the Blur/Sharpen Tool to blend the edges where the skins for both images join. I also use this around the edges of the entire pasted image to soften it a little. This post was edited on 12/15 at 9:24 am Reply Back to Top |
Posted by timdallinger on 12/15 at 9:57 am to HBTD Once I have masked (cut-out) an image, I feather the edges. Feathering is a process that makes the edges of an image transparent by pixels. This will soften the rough edges. I use Paint.net but I know this technique is possible using the other programs. Someone else can describe the process. Feather Technique in Paint.net If you are using Paint.net, you will need to download and install BoltBait's Plugin Pack. BoltBait Plugins This is also free but you have the option of donating to the author. Paste your render (cut-out image) in a new layer, on top of your background layer. Go to Effects- Object- Feather. Select the number of pixels effected and the feather strength. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by vtdad on 12/15 at 2:17 pm to timdallinger I'm gonna try to see if I can do this. I really want to. I downloaded Gimp again and I selected a pic from my Photobucket. I was just gonna put some test on the pic and toss it up on TD to show you all that I am serious about trying. I didn't quite get the hang of using text I ran outta space for what I was typing and then couldn't erase it or remove it. I just need to experiment and use the tools...get acquainted with them...and biggest thing for me now is figure out what tools to use and where that are!! I have a few days vacation days coming up and I'll try and get something done. later. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by timdallinger on 12/15 at 2:43 pm to vtdad quote: This is good example of why you need to use the "Layers" function. Add a new layer to your photo. Then you can add text without 'writing over' your image. If you don't like it, or doesn't look how you anticipated, simply delete the layer and you have not affected your original source.

Its best to let the authority having jurisdication in this case to do the investigation. Having two entities doing the the same investigation at the same time creates a burden on the Tesoro staff that in some ways creates distractions. I think the CSB should be afforeded date at a later (timely) time to also complete their investigation as they too serve an important function for the rest of the Chemical Community

Beyond the rational argument, there is also the ironic context: This is the plant (not company) who blew out their Hydrocracker in 1997 and caused the CSB to get funded (authorized since the 1980s).
Tough call -- maybe this does belong to Cal-OSHA. Was there potential for BLEVE?

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Serperior first appeared, as a Snivy, in BW001: The Shadow of Zekrom!, as one of Professor Juniper's starters to be distributed to the beginner trainers in Unova. Now belonging to Trip, Snivy battled Ash's Pikachu and won due to Pikachu being unable to use any electric attacks.
Snivy appeared again in BW010:A Rival Battle for Club Champ! during Trip's second battle with Ash, where it was revealed to have evolved into a Servine. He battled Pikachu and easily defeated him with Cut, before losing to Ash's Snivy after being hit by Attract.
In BW034:Ash and Trip's Third Battle, Servine battled Snivy again during Ash and Trip's third battle. Using Leaf Tornado, he managed to block Snivy's Attract before defeating her with a powerful Cut.
In BW092, it is revealed that Servine has evolved into Serperior and he will compete in the World Tournament Junior Cup and his first opponent was Burgundy and her Darmanitan. Serperior was quickly able to knock out Darmanitan with a Leer and SolarBeam combination.
In BW093, Serperior was seen having a battle with Manning's Heatmor and Cilan's Crustle. In its battle with Crustle, it wins with a combination of Leer, SolarBeam and Frenzy Plant.
In BW094, Serperior was seen battling Ash's Pignite. Pignite attacks with Tackle, Flamethrower and Flame Charge. Serperior lands a powerful SolarBeam and finishes it with Frenzy Plant. It was Sionara, Pignite after being hit by 2 thorns.
Serperior also has a battle against Alder's Bouffalant. After Leer, SolarBeam, and Dragon Tail, Alder's Bouffalant comes in with a finisher Head Charge. In BW105-BW106, it battled its rival, Ash's Pikachu. After dodging Quick Attack, Iron Tail, and Electro Ball, Serperior strikes with a mirage of Dragon Tail, as well as using Energy Ball and Wrap. Serperior lost after a collision between Dragon Tail and Iron Tail/Electro Ball.

How the Media is Trying to Spin the Debate
Did Mitt Romney win the debate or did President Obama lose it? To those who watched, the answer is obvious: both. But in the media we hear endless explanations of why Obama lost and few comments on how effective and articulate Mitt Romney was.
Bob Woodward hypothesizes that Obama was, somehow, distracted — perhaps by some personal issues or maybe by a big international crisis we don't know about yet. Al Gore, ever focused on climate issues, posited that the high altitude in Denver had enervated the president, as his handlers brought him out to the mile high city only a few hours before the debate.
These reasons may or may not have had anything to do with Obama's terrible performance. But the point in floating them is to focus attention on something that may be repairable: Obama's debating skills. They want to avoid having to zero in on Romney's ability, knowledge, charm and charisma. These qualities are not likely to change and pose a permanent challenge to the liberal establishment.
Here's my take on what Obama did wrong:
??He isn't good at extemporaneous speaking, having gotten used to either speaking with a teleprompter and memorized script or delivering a well worn and frequently practiced standard stump speech. At his press conferences, Obama is without a script or a teleprompter but his halting performances in those venues are discounted as reasonable caution while facing tough press scrutiny. He also avoids holding press conferences as much as he can.
This man is simply unused to standing on his own two feet and relying on creativity and intellect to generate content. He is like an actor in search of a script.
??Like Reagan in the first debate of 1984, Obama was so muscle-bound by government details that he could not shape answers into attractive sound bites. It requires something of the outsider to approach these issues and speak about them succinctly and comprehensively. It is very hard for a president to back away from the details and speak like an outsider.
??Obama is so arrogant that he probably did not take kindly to correction or even counseling during the debate preparation. He won the last election, remember? He handled McCain easily in debate. He even bested the formidable Hillary Clinton. Don't bother me with advice, one can imagine him saying, I know what I'm doing. It is easy to see advisors shying away from criticizing him during prep sessions for fear that they would be out in the cold afterwards.
Can Obama clean up his act? Can he do better in the next two debates? He won't learn the key to extemp speaking, but he can learn to speak in pithy sound bites which he can easily memorize. He probably will be more open to coaching and criticism in light of his dismal maiden debate of 2012.
But Romney's abilities — the real highlight of this debate — will not diminish. He will handle whatever Obama dishes out and will be his usual fluent, well prepared self.
Are there parallels between this year's debates and those in 1984? In the first debate Reagan appeared disjointed and distracted; everyone blamed it on his age. Yet he came back during the second debate with a rejoinder that won the election: "I will not use my opponent's youth and inexperience as an issue in this campaign." No quip will save Obama next time. He's up against Mitt Romney. That's no John McCain!

Carbon footprint dairy researcher returning to England
Carbon footprint dairy researcher returning to England
Judith Capper accepts key position at U.K. equivalent of Dairy Management, Inc.
The Washington State University researcher, who brought facts and widespread attention to the declining size of the carbon footprint of the dairy industry in the U.S., will return to her native home of England in March.
Judith Capper (pictured) came to the U.S. in 2007 to do a postdoctoral study at Cornell University on lipid metabolism. Her focus quickly shifted, however, to measuring the environmental impact of a total dairy production system. She joined the WSU faculty as an assistant professor of dairy science in 2009.
Her research used hard facts to counter negative public perception about cows' contribution to global warming. Among them, that advances in feeding, breeding, and dairy management since 1944 have reduced the carbon footprint of producing a gallon of milk by two-thirds. Another is that, in terms of cheese production, Jersey cows have a 20 percent smaller carbon footprint than Holsteins.
Capper has accepted a position as senior manager of research and development at DairyCo, the check-off organization for the dairy industry in the United Kingdom that is equivalent to Dairy Management, Inc., in the U.S. Her last day at WSU will be February 29.
"The opportunity to work with dairy producers in the U.S. of all sizes, from 50 cows to 10,000, has been a fabulous experience," she said. "It made me much more aware of how important it is to look at everything in a production system, not just one or two specific bits. It's an experience that has changed me and will definitely help me in my new position."

1. That's a very minor "rant". This is a major rant:
2.Like what? You seem to have forgot to say what's actually wrong...if it is something like this
I bought a usb headset to use skype. Wow. Sound in Linux is a disaster.
It's $20 and I am sure in Windows, it would take about 10 minutes and then good to go. But, in Linux. Nope. Google sound, usb headset, ALSA and/or pulseaudio.
It doesn't matter which distro. But, since I use Debian and derivatives, just googling anything related finds nothing of use. Unless you just play music through some speakers, anything with sound in Linux is a major PITA. It's about as bad as trying to use video drivers.
The Linux community gets praise for DIY and helping but really, if it is something like this, there is no feedback. If it is something like wireless, tons of people respond. It's really telling. I find it hilarious when people post about what Linux needs to do to compete or replace Windows. It's really obvious.
1. That's a very minor "rant". This is a major rant:
2.Like what? You seem to have forgot to say what's actually wrong...if it is something like this
2. I can't get sound through the usb headset when I use software. Although, I could when using audacity but that's about it.
Anyway, I tested on a live medium (usb stick) Kubuntu 12.10 and after fumbling with installing flash on Firefox and needing to add x386 architecture package, Skype also installed. At least, I had sound with Youtube, Movie Player etc. I feel fairly confident that I'd have sound across the board. Well, I would like to reserve judgement on that!
I don't like the *ubuntus but I have to say the experience with the usb headset and sound was way less frustrating than Debian and the derivatives I tried that were actually installed (siduction and Mepis 12).
I spent, maybe, 20-30 mins with the live medium (live Kubuntu 12.10) and hours with the installed OS systems.
I can't edit now? LOL! Nevermind. Skype didn't work (no sound). Linux is a failure as usual.
It doesnt work because you have got no clue about pulseaudio. That's not the fault of Linux. For Debian wheezy+ the correct way to install PA (for KDE with vlc backend) is:
You should restart the DM or reboot after that.Code:apt-get install --yes pulseaudio-module-x11 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth libasound2-plugins pavucontrol vlc-plugin-pulse [ "$(uname -m)" = "x86_64" ] && apt-get install --yes libasound2-plugins:i386
2/10 for the troll attempt. Pretty weak.
I can't really comment on usb sound cards / head sets since I don't have one here at the moment but I don't really know why skype shouldn't work with one. At least skype worked with pulseaudio and the internal soundcard with zero configuration whatsoever so it should just be a matter of choosing the correct input...
Ok, I use google hangout to video call various linux and windows machines, used both webcams - techsolo 0.3Mpix crap and Logitech c905.
Both work very good and with "guvcview -o" I can modify settings on-live. Just saying, it works.....!
Go to google.com. Create account. Go to email. On left bottom side open the contact list. Plug in your headset or camera. Now call anyone. A browser plugin will be installed and from now on you can call via any google mail account to other one.
You have driver problem. Driver != Linux. Linux problem is this: when you have very old hardware and you want to cut exactly initramfs modules for the hardware, ie something that microkernel OS can do, you can't without manual approach.
The hardware autoloading should be improved after systemd is done.
Something like "step 1. detecting hardware - step 2. autoinstalling packages and kernel modules for system - step 2.5.. and maybe even offer apps if connected to package manager.. - step 3. and starting ONLY them" should be really done. That would bring hell of experience!
Please post "lsusb" string of your device and uname.

I love it and was waiting for ur post
so pretty. love this.
Oooh, this is so pretty! I wish I could get as much volume as you do. My hair is just so fine and limp
Looks great! I need to try this at home.
I love this look! Is it bad that I pinned this based on the first picture alone? I have faith that your video will be easy for me to follow later when I have all the supplies handy.. and I'm not at work =)
With Luck-
haha, not bad at all!
Silly question but, what brand of clear elastics do you use? Love your tutorials.
I like Conair Polybands!
What size are the elastics? Thanks!
I so look forward to Tutorial Mondays!! Thanks for taking my hair out of Frumpyville! You're the best!
Very cute! Love the earrings!
I have only been a Paula customer for 6 mnohts. Before noticing that I could order a color swatch, I ordered many wigs in different colors and had to return alot. I NEVER had one problem with returns!!! Thank you Paula!!! Great service!!! Yes, like some of you, I would like to see changes in some areas, however I beleive like any business there are pro's and con's and when we share what we would like to see different and those ideas are implimented or takin into consideration to meet our needs it's worth staying devoted to that business. I think Paula is one of those businesses that wants to meet our needs, so over-all I will continue shopping with Paula because I LOVE your wigs!!!!!
Hey, found my way here from Pinterest as well (what did we ever do without that site?) and thank you so much for this taiortul. I can't wait to try it, it looks gorgeous. I also am super jealous of your hair color (beautiful), but I had a weird question. I love the plaid shirt you're wearing in some of the photos can I ask where you found it? I love the colors. Thanks!
so pretty!
I would have never guessed it was as easy as you make it sound!
I'm sneaky like that.
That is amazing! I'm so excited to try this! My hair may be too long, but it's worth a try! =) Thanks! Also, do you know any good hair blogs that do styles for really long hair? Like mid- low back length? That's how long mine is, which I love, so I can't always use your tutorials. =(
Alesha <3-
here you have some ideas for your long hair. I think you'll love it. enjoy! I'm sorry, it's in spanish but you'll see that it is easy to understand.
Cannot wait to try this out! LOVEEEE! Good thing I don't have anything fancy for a couple months so I can give my hair a little time to grow. It's RIGHT at my collar bone right now, so another 1/2-1″ more would make it easier for me to try (at least somewhat successfully!)
Nicely done
I love your tutorials each Monday! I know it's a formal undo but I am trying it today then going shopping! I can't wait for a formal occasion…
I meant "updo" (darn autocorrect).
This is so pretty! I love it!
Beautiful!! Can't wait to try it!
Wow, this is gorgeous. Our hair is very similar length and texture, so I can't wait to give this a try!!
Kate, would you have a suggestion for a dual voltage blow dryer? There are so many on the market, I would appreciate your advice if you do not mind. Thanks so much!
What a great tutorial! Love the up do.
http://magsmind22.blogspot.com/ -
Awesome tutorial Kate! Can't wait to try it out.
My Polished Side Blog -
PERFECTION! YET AGAIN!!!!!!! You are amazing and make it look SO simple! Thank you!
What color nail polish are you wearing in the video? Love the gray!
It's Master Plan by Essie
Super cute! Love the hair style!
Cute – donut, I love it! I have a work party this week so I think I will try this then! What color is your polish – super cute!
Beautiful up-do!
thehartungs.blogspot.ca -
Thank you so much for this! We have military balls and family weddings coming up, and with our second child just weeks away this is exactly the easy yet chic kind of look I need to have on hand!
On a side note my 2 year old son LOVES watching your tutorials.
just gorgeous — you always have the best updos! xo
I think I'm going to attempt this for an upcoming military ball! Do you think finer hair can hold this look?
http://lessonslearnedfromwifeofwounded.blogspot.com -
I can't believe that those steps created that. When you got to the end I thought, "that can't be it," but then it was. Love it!
Cute & Different. I Likey!
The How to Guru
This is amazing! I would love to see more updo's!
<3 Rubiiee
Wow! Absolutely love this!!! Thank you!
I LOVE your tutorials! Thanks!
this is beautiful! you are beautiful. it's all beautiful. thank you so, so much for sharing your talents with us!!!
Love, Love, Love!!! Perfect for the formal Army functions I have to attend!! Love the nail polish too!!
Very pretty, and more importantly, very simple to do!
I think donut IS the only word for it
I have hair extension and I cruelntry sew clips onto the track for easy application. However, it's a pain in the butt and they're difficult to keep in.Has anyone here used the hair extension glue? How long do the extensions stay on with glue? And can the actual extensions be reused after glue has been applied? Will my hair become damaged from the glue?Thanks in advance!
Oh my gosh! Just found your blog on Pinterest and I absolutely love it! This hairltyse was so easy and it made me so happy to find one that does justice to my hair! Can't wait to check out the others! Thank you!!!
I need to go out and get some clear elastic bands…back to Target I go. Thank you for the great tutorials!
Amazing tutorial! You always make it look so easy. Silly question, but what kind of teasing comb do you use?
I absolutely love this hair style! Thank you so much for sharing. You always are so great at explaining difficult looking styles in an easy to comprehend way! I would love if you would do a post about how to tease your hair. I know that for some this is an easy concept, but I have the hardest time with it!
that was a great tutorial!! i usually hate video tutorials because they drag on and don't get to the point but you've done an amazing job and i love the updo!! it's funny that you use clear elastics because i just had a wedding hair trial and that's what she used too. it really makes your hair stay a lot better than just using pins.
I love our tutorials and am growing my hair longer so I can try even more. Thank you for doing this blog. I do have one question though…. I have dark hair and I worry that using dry shampoo for more body and texture would not look right because it is like a white powder. Do you think it would work for me?
So cute! I'll have to try it, thanks for sharing
This is exactly the wedding hair I am looking for!! Yay!
I love your hair tutorials. I just wish I could do them and have them look good! My hair is really long and super thick. I always feel like bobby pins are pulling my hair when I'm finished. But I keep trying! Thanks so much for the tutorials!!
You always amaze me!
You always amaze me!
YOU ARE A HAIR MAGICIAN! I am running to try this right now!!!
Wow! I love this look! And, from the video it seems easy enough that I'll hopefully be able to do it! I'm going to give it a try this morning!
You are so sweet and adorable. Love watching your videos and so nice of you to share how to to do these easy, pretty styles. Thank you!
Just did this for my birthday party and it was so cute! Thanks for the awesome ideas, as always!
Yay! Thank you! I need new ideas for my fine hair. I'll be perusing your site for more…
Just FYI, this isn't on your hairdo button yet.
This was such a great tutorial! I'm going to try this tomorrow for a Valentines formal I am going to. Thanks for sharing!
I've tried this, and I luuuuurrvveeeeee it! One thing… It seems to not be appearing on your main "Hair Tutorials" page. Am I blind?
This best hair tutorial I've seen! I used it today for a wedding- it was absolutely fabulous!
This is amazing! I have super thick, stick-straight hair, and I used this tutorial for a wedding I attended a few weeks ago– everyone thought I had gone to the salon! I'm going to an evening fundraising event/dinner tonight, so I plan on doing it again.
just saw this tutorial on youtube looks so nice! i have realllllyyyy long hair, like down to my butt! and it's always a pain to get a nice bun because i have so much hair going on. but i'm gonna try this for the summer to get all my hair off my back in the heat
just followed you on bloglovin' 😉
I came across this tutorial on your Youtube channel and had to share it on my blog. I can't wait to try it out!
Oh my gosh, this helps so much! I've got a masquerade ball to go to this weekend and was panicking because I didn't know how to where my hair! And it's a legitimate ball – tuxedos and ball gowns only, no suits or banquet dresses. So I was worried that I wouldn't have my hair done and they would kick me out (which they did to my friend's last year, but they should really have read the rules), but this is absolutely perfect! I just tried to put my hair up like this and it works so this weekend is going to be so amazing, thank you!

I can't wait to try it….I ALWAYS have a problem since I'm 53 and my hair is getting thinner and thinner…I seem to have so much trouble making my messy bun and messy pony look full and full of body….but your video gives me renewed hope. I can't wait to try it…nothing sexier than a messy bun or ponytail I think, and I have to wear my hair up at work since I'm in the field. WOO! Thanks so much!
I totally did this today! Mine didn't look quite as together and clean as yours but it got plenty of compliments. "That must have taken a while" they all said…little did they know!
I did this last night! My "doughnut" was more of a messy bun, but it still looked really good. Thanks so much for your tutorials, they help so much!
your tutorial is so well done that I just watched it on mute, and understood perfectly!
Perfect for my Mother of the Bride hair. The best one I've seen…. thank you!
Thanks for this! Best tutorial I've seen so far. Using this weekend!
Very happy I stumbled on to your fantastic 6 minute video. It turned out to be quite easy to do. I practiced on my daughter's very long hair and it looked outstanding and then did my own hair for a wedding I attended this past weekend. I received lots of complements – thank you!
Love this up do! You make it look so simple and can't wait to try it! Btw… What's the brand name of the dry shampoo?
heyy i put this in fashion bueacse nobody answered this when it was in the hair categoryHow much $ for Hair extensions?????Hair extensions??????my hair is not that long it is like to my neck it used to be longer until it got cut. but i want hair extensions that are at least 15 in. do you guys know how much it would cost for it to be professionally done and if i did myself how much would the hair be and my hair is dark brown what color highlights would go well with that color please no blonde and i want a streak of a color what color would look good. and wear can i get feather hair extensions??? please answer thanks please no rude comments!!
Amazing and so simple, I've just done it sitintg here and I only had one pin to hand. Love the look so chic. Found you randomly through Pinterest and will keep following now as you have some great ideas thanks for sharing them x
Thank you for the fabulous tutorial! I brought the laptop into the bathroom and followed your easy steps and received tons of great comments from family and friends at an elegant wedding in Vermont last night! It is easier than the finished do looks. I watched the video, practiced once, and then revisited it again the next day and all made perfect sense. I can't thank you enough!!!! Patti P
It is not! I use a color that has been discontinued (though I still have some boxes left), but my next color I'm going to try is going to be Strawberry Blonde 7R #72 by Revlon.I've found the trick to hvnaig this type of hair color is to avoid colors that say "red" or "auburn" and to go with colors that say, "copper" or "blonde". My old color was "strawberry blonde" and I've heard of people successfully using "copper penny", and other such names! I get this question a lot so as soon as I have my new color I will share it!
Your tutorials are great ! My son was married Sat, July 12 and I did my on hair ! It was great. I had to modify just a little because of layers, but you explain it so well and make it easy. AND yes, people asked "Who done your hair?"
Pretty great post. I simply smbtuled upon your blog and wished to mention that I have really loved browsing your weblog posts. In any case I will be subscribing for your rss feed and I hope you write once more very soon!
Prachtig!! = Lovely!
from the Netherlands -
I love this hairstyle and the wunderfull tutorial.
Used it as my wedding hair style. However, as I usually don´t do such beautiful hair styles it didn´t look as good as yours, but still looked very nice and everyone liked it as I had the same flower in my hair as in my wedding bouquet.Thanks so much.
Silly Question: I never find this tutorial on your hair page, only via a search engine. Did you change the name of it? Or am i just blind, which is the most probable answer.

1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set. The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada. TOP ROOKIE: Steve Garvey TOP STARS: Nolan Ryan, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Ted Williams, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson, Don Baylor/Dusty Baker RC & MORE !!!

Martin makes big league debut as NL East rivals meet
Medlen aims to vanquish troubles in Philadelphia to keep Braves hot
This isn't where the Phillies wanted to be with two months left in the season.
Just a few weeks ago, Philadelphia thought its weekend series against the Braves would be the boost it needed to make a move in the National League East. Instead, the Phillies sit 13 1/2 games back of Atlanta.
Losers of 10 of their last 11 games, the Phillies will try to start off on the right foot in Friday's series opener against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park.
Ethan Martin will make his Major League debut for the Phillies, hoping to beat the team he rooted for as a kid growing up in Athens, Ga.
"I really didn't have a clue. I called my parents and told them I was being called up. My mom actually called about 30 minutes later, and she goes, 'Do you realize who you're pitching against?' I go, 'No, not really.' She goes, 'The Braves.' I said, 'Oh wow, that's going to be sweet.'
"I don't really think it's set in yet. Hopefully, it doesn't until afterward. But we'll go from there, walk out on the mound and see how it goes."
Rated as the Phillies 10th best prospect in MLB.com's midseason rankings, the right-hander is 11-5 with a 4.12 ERA in 21 Minor League starts this season.
Meanwhile, the Braves are sitting pretty with Kris Medlen set to take the hill and reverse his fortunes at Citizens Bank Park. In five appearances (three starts) in Philadelphia, Medlen has a 6.05 ERA, most recently allowing six earned runs in 5 1/3 innings on July 7.
Thanks to improved mechanics during his last start against the Cardinals, Medlen snapped a three-game losing streak, allowing two runs on eight hits in six innings for his seventh win of the season. Before that, he'd had a tough July with a 1-3 record and 7.40 ERA in four starts.
Medlen said his success came from keeping the ball down and not thinking too much.
"I think when I can locate away to righties and lefties, it opens up the inside because then you have them thinking which way you're going to go," Medlen said. "It's just the chess game that you play as a pitcher."
Braves: B.J. Upton plays in first rehab game
B.J. Upton went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in his first rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday. He'll play in two more games before rejoining the Braves.
"I got a little sideline [update] from [Gwinnett manager] Randy Ready, and the at-bats were OK," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "For the first time in two weeks facing live pitching, the at-bats were good."
Upton has been sidelined since July 12 with a right adductor muscle strain after diving for a line drive in the outfield. He tracked down four fly balls over five innings in center during Gwinnett's 2-1 loss.
"The No. 1 thing for us is to make sure he's healthy and make sure he's ready to come back, that's the No. 1 thing," Gonzalez said. "When all those things are in place, then we'll figure something out. Something will happen, you know how that is."
Phillies: Brown planning to return next week
While Domonic Brown missed his eighth consecutive game on Thursday due to a concussion, the Phillies left fielder plans to be back on the field next week.
Brown sustained a concussion July 23 when he dove for a fly ball against the Cardinals. He said he hasn't had symptoms for the past four days and has passed every test needed to get back on the field.
Brown, who leads the Phillies with 24 home runs and 69 RBIs, took about 60 swings in the batting cage and made a few throws on the field Thursday.
"I'm not missing that much time," Brown said. "And I feel great, that's the biggest thing."
Worth noting
• Outfielder Steve Susdorf, whom the Phillies designated for assignment Monday, cleared waivers and was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday.
• Since moving into the leadoff role in the Braves lineup, Jason Heyward is 8-for-24 with two home runs and seven RBIs.

Back Yard
Yard is on a slope down from the house to a pond. I have several ideas, just waiting for spring! I would like to terrace out about 5 feet, then put in a small retaining wall with the rocks that were dug up when the house was build last fall. I have drains from the downspouts that I would like to use as a dry creek/pond that come out of the terrace wall. More to follow!

"Scientific Progress Marches On."
This is a Great Look at how Scientific Progress has Made the World a Better Place in the past and will do so in the future.
The authors have a real grasp of the science of the 21st Century and provide and interesting narrative for science and non-science aficionados alike.
I'm not sure the immediate future will be as rosy as the author's think, but they provide a compelling case that over the long run science raises living standards for everyone.
"A Cautionary Tale, to how Democracy Gets Hijacked"
Most Americans suspect that Putin is a thug. Troops with unmarked uniforms, face masks, and Russian accents, that populate break away Ukrainian territories are displayed on the nightly news. But like an iceberg, the majority of Putin's deviousness remains hidden from popular view, that was until this book. Whether Putin was an accidental prime ministerial candidate pushed forward by the oligarchs desperate to replace an ailing Yeltsin, or part of a deliberate plot by KGB and organized crime as advocated in this book, remains speculative. What is clear is that Putin, a man of mediocre abilities, reactionary tendencies, a crook, and probably a murderer, (can you say plutonium poisoning kiddies) now has a stranglehold on Russia. Now, the Russian mass media is merely a propaganda arm for Putin spinning the virile, shirtless myth, that some people are stupid enough to believe, and creating two star Audible reviews, to what is a well written book.
"More hypocrisy in the McCarthy Era."
The seamy side of America's war on Communism, is that the CIA let thousands of Nazis settle peacefully in the U.S. Lichtblau provides ample evidence of this premise. He does so in an interesting, and sometime sarcastic manner, that the reality of this situation would engender.
His research indicates that the right wing Foster Dulles was the architect, of this policy. In addition to (overthrowing a few elected governments in Costa Rica and Iran,"info not included in this book") pardoning a few ex Nazis was on his to do list.
After all, weren't the Communists our real enemy, and what's a few dead Jews, gypsies, and partisans between friends?? Yea, and I personally hate the airport named after him in D.C, and then there was the 'successful Bay of Pigs operation', (What, politicians with irrational fears making them do crazy things,- this could never happen, again ?) .but I won't let that get in the way of a good story. And this is an interesting and well authored book.
"Great Stock Mkt. Analysis with Timely Trends"
I take Cramer's advice with a grain of salt. The reason is, I'm a mutual fund guy, and I don't buy a lot of stocks. That said, I always pay attention to Cramer, because he's the smartest stock mkt. pundit out there, he doesn't follow the crowd, and he's not afraid to stick his neck out, by making recommendations that could easily come back to bite him in the ass, as some inevitably do.
The book analyzes some new trends that most people aren't aware of like stealth technology, which is how non tech companies use tech to revolutionize their companies. Examples are Amorall's use of clothing that wicks sweat, dries fast, and stays warm, Doninos Pizza's use of online ordering, etc He also discusses which companies should break up, and why. And the notable 20 best CEO's.
Cramer does a good job of reading his book, although he has an annoying habit sometimes of talking too loud, which probably helps hold interest on TV, but hey I've already purchased the book so I don't need someone shouting in my ear to hold my interest, like that right wing gadfly Rick Santelli.
"Takes you Inside the World of a Jazz Legend"
Miles wrote a brutally honest autobiography. You see the man's faults, as well as the tremendous drive that made him one of the most renowned Jazz greats of the 20th century. The book answers some of the questions that made Miles such an enigma, such as: why did he famously turn his back on audiences on stage? And why was he known for having a sometimes contentious personality?
Miles was very sensitive to patronizing, and racist comments by whites, partially because he came up at a time when blacks were excluded from some night clubs and hotels that he traveled to, and because he grew up in East St. Louis which had a terrible race riot in the early 20th Century, where many blacks were killed.
He tells of an incident where he was at the white house receiving an award when he took offense at a patronizing racial comment from one of the guests. "I bet your Mammy would be proud of you." After he told the lady off, the insulted woman asked, "what did you do to deserve this presidential award?" "I changed the music 6 or 7 times," Miles said. And he did, from his groundbreaking Sketches Of Spain in the fifties, which is unlike any other jazz album, to his rock fusion in the 70's, 80's and 90's.
Miles was accused by some of pandering to commercialism when he combined his jazz with rock. I saw Miles shortly before he died, when he did a free concert at Penn's Landing in Philly. I saw a little baby dancing, and the music was just that natural and spontaneous, which was what Miles said about it. He also said that the young people get addicted to the electronic sound, and then it becomes hard to listen to acoustic music. - and I find this true with my own listening. Miles just had that inherent knowledge about music - which made him the legend he was. He also sacrificed everything for his music.
If you're interested in jazz, or what it was like being a jazz celebrity in the 20th Century you'll like this book.
"The Best of the Recent Rock Biographies"
After listening to Keith Richard's and Clapton's bios in addition to Billy Crystal's, I liked Nash's the best. Nash was always the most articulate of Crosby Stills & Nash. Which is remarkable for a guy who never completed high school. He doesn't waste lot of time discussing his drug use like in Keith Richard's bio, nor does he spend a lot of time bragging about his children and worrying about his imminent demise like Billy Crystal. lnstead, Nash gives us the condensed version of what we came for, which is his rise to rock and roll stardom 1st through the Hollies and then with Crosby Stills & Nash. It's a remarkable story. How the Hollies 1st big U.S. hit Bustop was written by the 14 yr. old Graham Gouldman, and how Nash was blown away when the kid performed it for him. And the 1st time he sung together with Crosby and Stills at Joni Mitchell's house. He also brings us up to date with his current pursuits.
What made the audiobook for me was that it was read by Nash himself, a really nice personal touch.
"Where Does Our Food Come From?"
Coming on the heels of "Where am I wearing?" Kelsey Timmerman bestselling book about where our clothes come from, comes this new book, in which Timmerman visits the countries where coffee, cocoa, bananas, lobster, and apples juice, are sourced from. Kelsey Timmerman actually works along with the farm workers, harvesting bananas, and coffee, and goes to sea in a boat with lobster divers, in Nicaragua. So, he does painstaking research on the subject, visiting with countless people involved.
The book is more of an adventure tale, than a dry study. The downside of this is that the book becomes more about Kelsey than where our food comes from, in parts. Like when Kelsey becomes involved in trying to free an indentured servant who works on a cocoa plantation in Africa. He goes on a wild goose chase, which should have been edited down to a couple of paragraphs. However Timmerman is a good writer, and the technique works for most of the book, giving the subject good emotional appeal.
The important fact is that most Americans have no idea that most of the lobster at places like the Red Lobster comes from Nicaragua and not from Maine, including myself before reading this, or that a good amount of our apple juice is concentrate sourced from China. So we are sublimely ignorant that the U.S is importing a good amount of our food. Timmerman is also an activist, trying to raise awareness about the terrible conditions for some of these foreign workers.
This was an enjoyable book, raising awareness, in addition to being a good adventure tale.
"How the Corporatocracy is Gouging U.S. Citizens"
Ever wonder why your cable and phone bill goes up every year while your wages are stagnant here in the U.S.A. Or how people's pensions ended up in the pockets of millionaire CEO s after working for a large corporation for 30 years?
This is an interesting and important book written by a veteran reporter about how the corporatocracy is ripping everybody off here in the USA. That's if you would rather know the truth about what goes on, then see the latest photos of Anthony Weiner's peter, or who the Kardashians are sleeping with.
"A Subject Under the Radar, Revealed Here"
This is a well written, well researched book, about how many large corporations have rip-offed their workers retirement funds. The author Ellen Schultz is a former Wall St. Journal reporter, where some of this story is published. This lends credibility to her book, since WSJ has generally been a pro big business paper with an editorial staff that leans to the right.
The laws defining retirement funds can be complicated, no matter how good the writing. So the book took an extra effort on my part to pay close attention, and I had to listen to a few parts twice. But it was well worth the effort. However, this book will require more effort on the listener, than a less dense subject like a breezy novel. So if you're looking for an easy read, or a distraction this probably isn't it.
If you're a policy wonk like me you are probably aware that many well intentioned laws meant to protect workers and such are watered down by the federal and state bureaucracies that are supposed to administer them. - such is the case with retirement funds. This is the how and why of this book. I commend the author for making a difficult issue accessible and layering on a human touch. If you're concerned about this issue, this is the book to read.
"Big Thirst - Well Written - Some Flaws"
The Big Thirst is a well Written and interesting treatise on the world wide water situation. There are some minor flaws in the writing. The book could have been shorter. The author spends some time redundantly haranguing that Americans and developed nations waste a good deal of water and that we don't have coherent policies in place to deal with water shortages and droughts. Yes, I get it. That's why I purchased this audio-book. So there's little need to repetitively convince me. Otherwise and interesting book about an important issue, seldom discussed.
"A Practical Blue Print for Healthcare Reform"
The book is a fairly non-partisan look at what is already working and what should be done to lower costs and provide better outcomes. The info is easy to understand and flows in an interesting manner. It;s obvious that Joe Flower is an expert in the field after studying and writing about healthcare for many years.
The author has an optimistic view that U.S healthcare consumers can and will get better outcomes and pay less in the future. Yes, but how long will it take, and how much suffering will transpire before that? Even the relatively benign Obamacare is decried as socialized medicine by the right.
