Heat's Wade continues to fade
Professional athletes talk about respecting the game.
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade could do that by taking less than the $20.2 million he's set to make next season to acknowledge that folks are beginning to mistake him for Father Time.
The dough Wade's due could get the Heat something like a Manu Ginobili, a Kawhi Leonard, a Danny Green and a Patty Mills, and there'd be change left. None of those guys entered the season as superstars but without question helped the San Antonio Spurs beat the Miami heat in the NBA Finals.
Actually, the Spurs beat LeBron James, because Wade and those other guys didn't give him much help.
NBA general managers fretting free agency can learn a lot from the Spurs, who not only share the ball but, obviously, also share the money insofar as guys taking fewer dollars to get their hands on something not necessarily bought.
Think about something: It's understandable that schoolteachers would go from county to county pursuing classroom jobs that pay a little more.
And any reasonable person would understand the argument to be made about pro ball players leaving some money on the table so that the sort of schoolteachers who taught them can afford tickets to come see games featuring primed players sprinting up and down the floor, not some contest with greedy, stubborn guys hobbling around on the floor.

Jam = Canning = Equipment = Complicated = Too many steps
Right? Wrong! There's no need to can fresh preserves. Of course, the benefit is you can save them and eat them in the middle of winter, but you can also enjoy them straight out of the sauce pan.
I have always wanted to make some type of preserves. Last fall, after going to the apple orchard I made my first batch of apple butter. It was so comforting, perfectly spiced, a great addition to oatmeal or on a grilled cheese that I'll definitely make it again this year. It inspired me to branch out and make this raspberry jam.
The whole canning process is a little daunting to me, maybe I'll try my hand at it next summer, or this fall. But there's another way to preserve your jam, you can freeze it! Or give some away to friends. I just made a small batch with the beautiful little gems below, raspberries and a few blackberries.
I was very surprised how well it turned out and I can't stop eating it!
As it was simmering and I had the first taste, I thought it was too sweet and I tried to come up with something that might tame the sweetness a bit. Balsamic vinegar and salt! They took it down one notch to give it more of a rich, luscious flavor. There's just a hint of the chardonnay, which tops off the taste. This jam would be good on toast, in cake layers, in yogurt or simply by the spoonful. You can get creative with the flavors you put in. I'd like to try adding some black pepper and thyme in the next batch. Or maybe some rosemary. I have to try different fruits, too. Maybe I'll go for some blueberries next time around as it's peak season for them.
I hope you try to make some of your own jam, especially if the only reason you're not is the canning process. Skip it! The jam will still be good for a month or more in the fridge, and really who needs more than that to finish a few jars of delicious home made jam? Invite your friends and have a party, and don't forget you can freeze it, too!
Raspberry Chardonnay Jam
Adapted from Kate's Short and Sweets
Time: 45 minutes | Yield: 3 cups
3 1/2 cups Raspberries
1 1/4 cups Blackberries
2 cups raw sugar
1/2 cup Chardonnay
1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 tsp Salt
Muddle the berries and sugar in the pot. Add the chardonnay.
Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Add the salt and balsamic vinegar.
Leave the mixture to simmer uncovered until it's reduced and the consistency is to your liking. I reduced mine for about 35 minutes. You can test for consistency by keeping a spoon in the freezer, then when you want to test the jam use the cold spoon to scoop a bit out and place it back in the freezer for a minute. See if it's jelly-like and spreadable. If it's still too runny, reduce a bit more.
Once it's to your liking, leave to cool and then pour into jars to enjoy, or plastic containers to freeze and enjoy later.

GT240 problems playing Darksiders
I'm having really weird glitches in this game, here's 2 screenshots:
Now, i don't think these are caused by the GPU overheating, as i use HWmonitor and EVGA Precission to monitor temp on my system, and the max temp of the GPU after 4-5 hours of load is 71º playing Assassins Creed 2 or Arkham Asylum.
Tried with many drivers, from 197 to the latest Beta, and the problem persist with 2 games Darksiders and Dead Space, Darksiders starts normally, but after 10-15 minutes, glitches start to appear, sometimes even freezing my system to the point that i have to do a hard reset, other times changing the resolution in the game's options does the trick... for another 10 minutes until they appear again¡¡¡
Whereas in Dead Space i had this problem in just one particular area of the game with lots of flashing lights but it didn't crash, i could fix it by just changing the resolution.
So.. as i'm having these severe problems only with this game, a faulty PSU is not an option i guess, also never had any errors pointing to a faulty Ram either, it just happened with these 2 games, and in Darksiders is so severe it renders the game unplayable (pun intended).
My card is a EVGA GT240 Superclocked 512 Mb DDR5
I'm using Xp SP3 32 bits, 2 gigs of A-DATA RAM, and a C2D, PSU 500w, not a fancy one but i don't think it could be a problem since this card is not power hungry and i don't have anything else leeching voltage, just the Videocard and HD.

Re: GT240 problems playing Darksiders
try updating directX and using the latest WHDL drivers for your card.
Try using MSI Afterburner to monitor the speed/temperature of the card.
It is a superclock card, try lowering its frequencies a bit using afterburner and see how it behaves.
As the universe is curved, there cannot be a straight answer...

Rumours of hook-up between two tech titans abound.
Apple and Canon are said to be prepping a tie-up, which could see the two work on new products. Details remain scarce, but a hook-up between the two could be mean some seriously smart new tech.
The gossip comes from Canon Rumors, where the site's Alex Johnson says, "I've received a few pieces of information about an upcoming collaboration between Apple and Canon. What that collaboration is hasn't been spelled out to me. It could be with the upcoming Final Cut Pro 8, or maybe something more."
Final Cut Pro would be a good fit for Canon's top end camcorders and HD-loaded DSLRs. How this would work in practice though is unclear.
For more on this and the rest of the day's gadget news and gossip, stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Are you a man that likes to follow or woman who likes to lead? Queer Tango events are a great place to learn an alternative role; to lead or follow and/or switch.
"Queer Tango is a global movement to create inclusive and diverse space for Argentine Tango dancers. This means celebrating gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender dancers. It also means celebrating any dancers who want to experiment with different approaches to gender and roles while dancing Argentine Tango, such as women who want to lead, men who want to follow, and dancers who want to change roles while dancing. Queer Tango is inclusive, which means that people are welcome to dance tango in any roles they want, including the traditional ones." Definition from Rainbow Argentine Queer Tango

Reality-show contestants come a dime a dozen, and once their shows are off the air, we're so busy watching the next competition, we often forget to see whether the winners go on to make it in their chosen profession. For every Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks, there are dozens of Taylor Hicks and Nikki McKibbins. But one show seems to be the exception to the rule: The alumni (not just winners) of So You Think You Can Dance show up everywhere: In music videos, on Broadway, on tour with pop stars, on Glee and, this weekend, in Step Up Revolution. When VH1 caught up with the movie's star, Kathryn McCormick (third place in season 6) and co-star Stephen "Twitch" Boss (season 4's second-place dancer), we asked how the show contributed to their success.
"[SYTYCD alums] have the mindset that just because they've been on the show, nothing is going to be handed to them," explained freestyle dancer Twitch, who also appeared in Step Up 3D. "They still have to create their opportunities. And for the things that are presented to them, you still have to deliver. So no matter what, even with your exposure on the show, you still have to put your work in it. You still have to continue to pay your dues. The show gives you a rep, yes, it does. And it gives you that exposure, yes, but you still have to deliver on your end of the deal."
Kathryn certainly felt the need to deliver, especially since she'd never acted before. "I think there's pressure a little bit, having a fanbase from So You Think You Can Dance, where they're a fan of my dancing," the contemporary dancer said. "But now there is a pressure where I had never acted before, and my first time doing it, everyone gets to judge it. It's like, 'Yeah, we like your dancing, but can you act? I don't know!' I know there's a high expectation for me as a storyteller, vocally."
Step Up producer Adam Shankman, also a beloved judge on SYTYCD, says the show's alums know that as dancers, they can never take anything for granted. "Dancers have to get back on the chorus line; they have to get back in line to get jobs," he said. "But as I said to the So You Think kids, if you keep your nose clean and do good, you're going to be at the front of the line."
And according to Twitch, most of the dancers he knows take that advice to heart. "Those that were on the show that are in this movie, you never saw them slacking off," he recalled. "They were always practicing. They were always going over steps. If anybody needed help, they were reviewing with someone."

Crocheters, are you craving more ways to add texture to your projects after last week's post on crochet cables? The options for adding texture to your crochet work are seemingly endless, but I've rounded up a few good options here for this week's advanced crochet techniques feature.
For starters, have you used our StitchFinder in the Learning Center? It's a really awesome tool for when you want to learn a new technique or motif without necessarily tackling a whole larger project. Some of the sampler squares and motifs even make for perfect practice projects that can ultimately be stitched together in a sampler throw or pillow. I rounded up four of the best StitchFinder tutorials for adding texture to crochet.

Okay, so maybe you haven't heard of National Ear Muff Day, which just passed yesterday, but if you've been anywhere near a secondary school math classroom in the last decade–or have math nerd friends like I do–you've probably heard a thing or two about Pi Day. The Reader's Digest Version? It's March 14–3/14–and Pi, the irrational number that is related to the circumference and diameter of a circle, is approximately equal to 3.14, though the decimal places are though to go on forever. You can learn a little more about Pi here, or you can just dive in to some of the fun mathematical-themed knitting and crochet patterns I found on Ravelry to celebrate Pi.

Every day is some kind of holiday, and I'm not talking about the big ones with leprechauns or bunnies. It turns out, today is National Earmuff Day, which obviously means I need to share some of my favorite ear-warming patterns with you. The good news is that all of these patterns are quick to knit or crochet, so you can whip them up in an evening and use them to keep your ears warm in the last dwindling days of cool winter and early spring weather. What do you say?

In celebration of National Crochet Month, I'll be featuring advanced crochet techniques each Monday on the Notebook. Missed last week's feature on Tunisian crochet? Check it out here.
No matter what you call it–colorwork, tapestry crochet, fair isle, intarsia, jacquard or otherwise–the art of working a design into the fabric of a crocheted product simply by changing colors is a skill that never gets tired. Though intarsia has long been popular in Scandinavian-inspired knitwear, especially sweaters in rich neutrals, it is a method that lends itself to nearly any personal style, from formal and traditional to the fun, "geeky" project a friend is doing with the logos of favorite video games. Whether you seek to create a colorful abstract jacquard pattern or really want a blanket with your favorite sports team's logo stitched in, learning colorwork is the way to get there.
As difficult as it may look, the great news about colorwork–which is most typically called tapestry when talking about crochet–is that it's a relatively easy skill to learn, and only requires the patience of changing colors multiple times and following a chart as opposed to a typical pattern.
|All you have to do to change a color mid-row is to crochet your stitch except for the last yarn over and pull through.
|The last yarn over will be with your new color, and you'll pull that color through the two loops left on your hook from the previous color.
|Once you've linked that new yarn in, you'll continue crocheting as you had previously.Just don't forget to weave those ends in as you would any other end to ensure your treasured project doesn't unravel!
Now that you know the basics of how to change colors in crochet, take a look at some of these crochet blocks from stitch finder that will put those skills to work!

It's National Crochet Month, and I'm going to be highlighting some advanced crochet techniques on the blog every Monday in March. Today, I wanted to take a look at some great patterns that utilize the afghan stitch or Tunisian crochet. If you've never heard of Tunisian crochet before, you might be surprised by the technique. Like knitting, you'll keep all of your stitches on your hook at once while doing Tunisian crochet, which is why you'll generally use a longer hook that's specific to this style. It looks like a hybrid knitting needle and crochet hook, with a long shaft, an end-cap on one end and a hook on the other. The simple Tunisian stitch creates a sturdy, dimensional canvas that's perfect for embroidery or crocheting on top. To learn more about Tunisian crochet, check out the About.com guide.
Once you're ready to get started, you can try your hand at some small, simple projects, like cuffs or a headband crocheted in Bonbons, or you can dive in to an entrelac afghan or sampler stitch throw in the beautiful colorways of Vanna's Choice to practice all of your newly-learned stitches.

So break out some green yarn and get a head start on some small projects for the festive holiday!

I've gotten to those years in my life–my mid-twenties–when it seems like everybody I know is about to get married or have a baby! I've been busy crocheting baby blankets for every new arrival among my friends and family for at least the last year and a half, trying out a variety of patterns, color schemes and yarn choices. Pound of Love is often my go-to, because I know just one skein will make me a beautiful, soft and delicate blanket. Sometimes, I end up buying an odd skein here and there, to finish a project or just because I like the color. That's how this blanket came about.
When I heard about the arrival of baby Adriana, I saw I had skeins I had picked out while planning my creations for baby Mitchell, born just a few weeks ago, baby Kiera, born in 2012, and Mackenzie, who would definitely be mad if I called her a baby, since she's already about to turn six! I pulled together this palette of Babysoft in pastel pink and pink lemonade and Pound of Love in pastel green to create this blanket that looks to me like a field full of strawberries. The pattern I used, our Ocean Waves Baby Afghan pattern, originally called for Cotton-Ease, but given that gauge isn't as crucial for a blanket as it is for a garment, it was an easy substitution for my stash yarn. I wanted to add some frills to the border and make the bright pink pop, so I improvised a simple, lacy V-stitch border for a few rows until I was satisfied.
Do you have one type of project that you make over and over again? For yourself, gifts, or the local craft show? Share your favorite projects to make over and over again in the comments!

Has crafting ever brought you out of a tough time? Often, the meditative and creative aspects of yarn crafts can be just what the doctor ordered when it comes to coping with grief, depression, or that funk you just haven't been able to emerge from. Though knitting and crochet are often looked at as lighthearted, serene crafts, the emergence of many crafting social groups over the last several years speaks to the release of both the craft and the social component that frequently comes along with it. A new book highlights the healing that can come from crochet.
Crochet Saved My Life chronicles the journey of a college freshman coping with the usual suspects–new school, new state, new friends–as well as the far less familiar, including the surprise diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumor. Author Kathryn Vercillo describes how she found release from her anxiety and stress in the therapeutic nature of each repetitive stitch.
More than telling her own story, which includes the profound motion of dropping a knife from her wrist and picking up yarn instead, Vercillo also shares the stories of other men and women who have found solace in crochet and knitting, as well as the effects these crafts have on those with various mental and physical conditions, including anxiety, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis.
To learn more about the book, click here.
So many of us have found comfort in the stitches of knitting and crochet. Have these yarn crafts gotten you through difficult times in your life? Share your experiences below.

Lion Brand has a huge variety of yarns spanning the spectrum of colors, fibers and textures, but the one that is the most intriguing to me is our LB Collection Wool Stainless Steel. It's about what you might expect it to be from its name: 75% wool, 25% stainless steel. In a yarn! Crazy, right? It's lace-weight, so you can make really intricate openwork, but the tiny steel thread gives it dimensional body and weight you wouldn't find in a different fiber makeup. It's an obvious choice for crocheted jewelry or knitted lace shawls, but the options are truly endless, especially when used double-stranded or in conjunction with other yarns. Take a look at some of the inspiration I've found on Ravelry!

CENTRAL MASSACHUSETTS - With more snow expected to hit the central Massachusetts area, State Police are warning of difficult commutes during rush hours.
Police are reminding motorists to take the following precautions:
• Don't panic, its New England and we've been here before and remember to be patient with those operators with less skill driving in these expected conditions.
• Plan on budgeting extra time for your commute.
• Slow down. Snow and freezing rain can create icy road conditions.
• Leave plenty of distance between your vehicle and the vehicles around you.
• Don't be lulled into a false sense of security -- your four-wheel drive vehicle does not ensure you have better stopping or steering capabilities.
• Give the plows and sanders a wide berth.
• Texting while driving is dangerous and unlawful. Only the use of one earpiece for your cellphone is permitted.
• Take the time to clear accumulated snow off of your vehicle. Heavy chunks of snow coming off of buses and trucks can cause heavy damage to other vehicles. Don't just clear off just enough snow to barely see out of a small cleared spot in your windshield doesn't count.
• Don't engage other operators in aggressive driving. Note your location and call 911 if you observe road rage behavior.

Kirby police searching for Gary Weise's killer
Victim found stabbed to death behind his automotive repair shop
The body of Gary Weise, 43, was found sprawled behind his automotive repair shop in Kirby on Wednesday.
His throat had been slashed and he had been stabbed repeatedly, investigators said.
His body was discovered by his brother, who had become concerned when phone calls to Weise went unanswered.
Fred Weise, the victim's brother, said he went to the shop to look for Weise.
"As I was leaving, we saw a body behind the shop – it was his," Weise said.
Kirby police say they have some good leads and hope to make an arrest in a day or two.
"We have a person of interest but we have to rule everybody out," said Kirby police Sgt. Mike Alonzo.
As for a motive, Alonzo said, "We found some evidence that leads us to believe it wasn't a robbery."
He said the victim's wallet containing what he described as "a large amount of money" was left at the scene.

DETROIT (AP) - Ford Motor Co. says it will add 4.5 million older-model vehicles to the list of those recalled because a defective cruise control switch could cause a fire.
Ford says 1.1 million Ford Windstar minivans will be recalled for repairs due to a small risk of fires.
The company says another 3.4 million Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles with the same switches also will be recalled even though there have been no reports of fires. Those vehicles mainly are trucks and SUVs.
All vehicles covered by the recall are from the 1992 to 2003 model years.
Sherwood says this is Ford's seventh recall due to the Texas Instruments speed control switches. The recalls cover a total of 14.3 million vehicles and combined are the largest in Ford's history.

Need to try it again
I used a bottle of this last year on an old bike with an old chain. It seemed pretty good, but the results I'm sure, were hindered by the application it was used on. It was really easy to use. I want to try it now on my newer bikes with good chains.

While our Facebook group was a great effort of all our supporters (over 4000 members since we launched in the spring), we've come to realize that the best way to interact with members on Facebook is through their "pages" feature. It allows you to share links and videos, see additional content and more. Plus, it all gets indexed by Google – and the group does not.
So, on Tuesday we created a new Facebook page for the Center. My goal was to get our first 500 members by the end of the month, and 2000 by October 31st. Well, the first goal was reached in less than 24 hours, and we hit 1000 in under 2 days. Please stop by and join us – there's some lively discussion every day!

butter, softened
2 1/4 cups
white sugar
1 tablespoon
vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
almond extract
5 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon

1 cup
slivered almonds, chopped
1 cup
white chocolate chips
1 (6 ounce) package
cherry-flavored sweetened dried cranberries (such as cherry-flavor Craisins®)
Yesterday, my 7 year old grandson told me that he loved Craisins. I had just seen this recipe and decided to make it for him. The cookies are awesome! It's a large recipe and that's good. By the time I distribute bags of cookies to my grandsons and a few friends, I'll have some left for me too. The only changes I made to this recipe was that I used regular Craisins instead of the cherry flavored and it was fine. I love the buttery taste of these cookies and I'm sure my family and friends will too. Thank you for sharing this recipe!
These cookies are wonderful!

Audio: VALERIE VON FANGE (MP3, 26.03mb) Download Now
By: SHRN Website
Genre: Music
Tags: Catholic, Christian, Music, VALERIE VON FANGE
www.valvonfange.com Today, music has certainly made its mark in Valerie's career path. She has been honored to perform at the Lincoln Memorial Center and Catholic Marketing Network Showcase in King of Prussia. She is comfortable in front of 10 to 1000 people, playing styles such as folk, country, classic rock, big band and inspirational. Valerie has been able to combine her years of classical training with a contemporary sound that tantalizes the ears. Her typical venues include church services, concerts, festivals, restaurants and retirement homes… yet still she finds time to dabble in song-writing. As a songwriter, Valerie Von Fange taps into the fullness of Christ's teachings, with themes such as Our Lady, purgatory, the Eucharist and the Saints. In 1993, she released Thy Kingdom Come, a project inspired by a religious pilgrimage to Medjugorje, Bosnia. In 2001, she helped arrange and sang vocal backup as well as played keyboard on Rachel, a pro-life song that was aired on EWTN's "Life on the Rock." In 2005, Valerie co-produced and released her latest CD, Steadfast Love, an eclectic mix of Latin, bluegrass, country, folk and Celtic songs that reinforce the richness of committed love. Steadfast Love (recorded in Nashville, TN) has been receiving nationwide media attention from sources such as The National Catholic Register (Issue: Feb 2006), Faith & Family (Issue: Fall 2006), Sacred Heart Radio and EWTN Radio (AKA: Catholic Jukebox).Published on Tue, 15 Aug 2006 07:26:21 500 Comments | Post a Comment

I approach a new Google Maps mashup I've been tipped off about called Ask500People that greets me with the following message that reads:
In 1 Minute we'll be asking 100 random people on hundreds of websites around the world, "Should music be free?"
..I wait for the countdown to conclude and a Google Map appears with the question posed as the title and a poll indicator to the top right. As I watch the map it immediately auto-centers on a voter in France who votes Yes. Then the map quickly shifts to the Philippines, up to Japan, races across to Canada, then down to the US. As I watch in real time Ask500People is actually mapping the live locations of people as they vote on this particular question. This is cool.
60/100 Votes are in and the Yes is winning by a narrow margin - 53%.. China, Mexico, New Zealand....
As I wait for the 100 votes to continue to come in from around the world I decide to check out the "About Us" section of the site:
"..Diverse, decentralized people voting independently are better at predicting future events or trends than individuals, small groups or even domain experts. There are tools for surveying groups of independent voters, but they're either slow, expensive or both. We built Ask500People to gather input and opinion data in minutes instead of days, and to create a platform that other applications can integrate."
A Korean voter says No, as a US voter says Yes....
Ask500People does require you to be logged-in to vote but this takes just a few seconds - Once you've done this you can vote, as well as pose questions. Take a look through recent polls under the "Recent Questions" box..
The Poll wraps up and a "Done!" flashes up beside the title question. Of the 100 worldwide voters - 54% say Yes and 46% say No to music being free!
This entire poll took as long as it took a few songs to play on my headphones and about as long as it took me to type the above text. Pretty quick and entertaining to watch. Color coded pins let you glance at the map and notice concentrations of voting and see what countries collectively feel a certain way. This is a fascinating mashup that gives you the opportunity to find out how the world feels on various topics in real time! Go ahead and pose your own question, then watch the map!

State v. Holdorf
Criminal Law: An officer who stops a defendant can rely on factual information provided to him by other officers to establish "reasonable suspicion."

Whether they help in an office, a clinic, patient transport or a patient unit, volunteers play a part in the overall care of our patients and in the delivery of quality healthcare services at Queens Hospital Center.
Among the departments where volunteers can work include:
Additional special programs include Chaplain's Aides, Foster Grandparents, the After-School Program (tutoring children and adolescents on our Psychiatric Inpatient Units), ACES (Patient Entitlement Counseling), Healthy Outlook (an activity and companionship program for geriatric patients), Diabetes Care Management, The Auxiliary, Patient Care Volunteer Program, Discharge Assistance Program, and Volunteer Medical Interpreters.

Wan Acceleration and Cost Saving
Economic slowdown and devising cost saving measures went hand in hand especially in IT organizations. Wan acceleration is a technology for business enabling. It is powerful and effective. Almost all organizations in IT sector either have implemented it or in the process of doing so. It is a comprehensive measure which covers the entire operations of the industry. The operative expenses include maintenance as well as business. Wan acceleration takes into account all the parameters for operation and if implemented helps improve efficiency level and at the same time reduces expenses.
Wan acceleration firstly helps the consolidation of server and its storage. When it is done the entire data base and operating servers get centralized. This enables the IT organization to have better control over the company's data. It has helped to perform better at reduced cost. This technology has helped in managing any disaster in the data management. It has ensured resilience and smooth continuity. Wan accelerator has helped reduce the band width or wan bandwidth optimization which helps better delivery of applications and allows easy deployment of newer applications. Backup consolidation and data replication is another area where it gives complete protection. It is able to meet all the regulatory requirements. On the whole it increases productivity resulting in financial saving.
Since most of the employees who travel or who are mobile would like to use data communicating devises, wan acceleration can provide simple solutions with centralized management. No single solution is able to offer so many benefits in a comprehensive manner to the organization. When implemented not only the company gets equipped to face competition it gears up to face any crisis. This has helped many IT organizations increase their operations with reduced budget. It has provided better environment even during troubled times.

Hybrid Prints
Printmaking Handbook
written by Megan Fishpool
A & C Black Publishing | ISBN 9780713686500
Paperback – 144 pages
Member's price: $33.30
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
This book reveals the secrets of hybrid and combination techniques. Combined techniques are often used by printmakers as tricky ways of achieving particular results, and then not fully acknowledged or detailed in the information that accompanies the print when it is exhibited. Combination printmaking has a long history, but the explosion of media now available to printmakers has opened up many new possibilities. Learning the techniques associated with creating hybrid prints is, at the moment, a case of trial-and-error for most printmakers, unless they are lucky enough to have a tame and generous printmaking friend who will share their secrets; most printmakers closely guard the secrets of how they make their unique prints. This book will explain a lot of these 'secret' methods and techniques.

Lupita Nyong'o Becomes Lancôme's First Black Celebrity Spokeswoman
Gorgeous girl Lupita Nyong'o continues to make history. This is definitely her year!
Fresh off the heels of taking home the Oscar, the actress just landed an endorsement deal with Lancôme, making her the French beauty brand's first black celebrity spokesperson! And we can't say we didn't see it coming. That beautiful face needs to be everywhere!
In a statement made shortly after the deal was announced, Lupita expressed gratitude and excitement over the partnership:
I am truly honored to join the Maison Lancome, a brand with such a prestigious history that I have always loved. I am particularly proud to represent its unique vision for women and the idea that beauty should not be dictated, but should instead be an expression of a woman's freedom to be herself.
This is an awesome look for Lupita. Back in February, while being honored at Essence's 7th Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon, she revealed, during her incredible acceptance speech, her early struggles with embracing her beauty.
I remember a time when I too felt unbeautiful. I put on the TV and only saw pale skin, I got teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin. And my one prayer to God, the miracle worker, was that I would wake up lighter-skinned. The morning would come and I would be so excited about seeing my new skin that I would refuse to look down at myself until I was in front of a mirror because I wanted to see my fair face first. And every day I experienced the same disappointment of being just as dark as I was the day before.
Now there will be a young girl out there, like young Lupita, who will be able to turn on her TV and see someone who looks like her representing the standard of beauty. Cheers to diversity!
Lupita's ads will begin airing in September, but in the meantime, you can check out this video of her announcing the news below.
