Achievement Guide and Roadmap
-Estimated achievement difficulty: 3/10
-Offline: 50 (1000)
-Online: 0
-Approximate amount of time to 1000: 17-20 Hours
-Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 4
-Number of missable achievements: 0
-Do cheat codes disable achievements ? None
-Does difficulty affect achievements? There is no difficulty setting.
-Glitchy achievements: No
-Unobtainable achievements? No
-Extra equipment needed? No
This game is rather basic. You go on short missions, most lasting between 5-10 minutes. There are a few different types but it all leads back to flying around, locking on to things, and pressing buttons. You'll have to play the game 4 times total.
Step 1: Playthrough 1
In this playthrough you are going to focus on getting achievements and not worrying about gold rankings at all. Follow the guide to see what is in store during this playthrough. You should get almost all of the achievements in this playthrough except for a few which will be on the next playthrough. You will want to skip the bonus missions entirely. Now that you have beaten the game once, create new games on each save slot (each different owl on each remaining save slot). You should get the new game+ achievement for this as well. I would suggest highly picking any owl but the Spotted Owl, as it's the weakest of the owls. Even though it's the fastest, you will take much more time killing enemies.
Step 2: 2nd Playthrough, Gold Medals, Bonus Missions
Now that you've played through the game, you'll have a great understanding of the mechanics and how to chain attacks and complete missions faster. Use this knowledge and your Battlesets to finish off all the gold medals in the game on this playthrough. Then, go to the bonus missions and find all of the scrolls and get golds on the seperate missions within. For the scrolls you have help from a changing green to red indicator on your screen telling you if you're close or not. On this playthrough you should be able to get almost every level done with a gold ranking except maybe 2 or 3. If you have a lot more to get, just move on to a third playthrough and afterwards, pick whatever playthrough you had gotten most golds on. Replay the ones you don't have gold rankings on to get them.
Step 3: Last Playthrough/s, Mopping Up
If there's any reason you haven't gotten an achievement, just replay whatever mission you need to get it. Look in the guide for a proved method to obtain what it is you're missing. Now you just have a playthrough or two left. You should be able to soar (literally) through the playthrough in just around 3 hours or less.
This is one of those games you can play for easy achievements. Though there is a good amount of replaying levels which could be somewhat tedious. Other than that, it's a straight forward game with decent flight mechanics and average graphics. The playthrough time depends heavily on how much you replay missions and how long it takes you to find the hidden scrolls. Sometimes you'll find the first 4 scrolls in only 10 minutes, then the last one might take you 45 minutes to find. Hopefully the scroll video will help make this a lot easier. After you have done your last playthrough you will be awarded the last achievement.

Ready for Battle5
Complete the Tutorial Missions
Before you begin the game, you must do a tutorial. The tutorial is divided into two areas and teaches you basics on how to play the game. While in this tutorial, you will not be able to gain any achievements.
Defeat an enemy in a mission
You will get this in the first mission. To defeat an enemy, press to lock onto them, then to attack when the reticule is red.
C-C-Combo Breaker5
Perform a chain attack on a single enemy in a mission
To perform a chain attack, you must hit the same enemy at least twice in a row during a combo. When fighting an enemy, press to attack them while locked on with . Right after the attack, you will notice your reticule will turn red again giving you another opportunity to attack. You should get this in the first level.
Note: If you attempt this in later levels, you will have to take different approaches towards enemies with armor. Instead, you would use a combo.
Counter Culture 10
Successfully counter attack an enemy in a mission
Countering is learned in the tutorial. To do this, let an enemy get close to you while you fly head on towards it. The game will give you plenty of time to counter, as well as give you a prompt to press a specific button. Once you press the button, the achievement will unlock.
Do a Barrel Roll! 5
Do a barrel roll in a mission
To do a barrel roll, press the either to the left or the right. Remember, you cannot get this in the tutorial.
Top Speed 5
Reach maximum speed in a mission
To reach maximum speed, hold the while flying. While doing this, you may go into a glide which makes you go even faster. If you have prowess built up (the yellow meter on the top right of the screen) then press up which does a corkscrew to bring you to top speed as well. Maximum speed is a calculation of the fastest the specific owl you have is going, and if you have a Battleset on which increases speed, it will factor in the new maximum.
Upgrade your Flight 5
Unlock a new combat attack
You will automatically unlock this in the first mission while fighting enemies. The game will tell you what you unlocked, and how to use it. Continue to play missions and defeat enemies to unlock more.
Team Attack 10
Use the Team Attack Combo to help out a wingman in trouble
Lock onto an enemy with then press to use your wingman (must have enough prowess, at least one bird icon on top must be green). He will be sent to attack that enemy, but you're still locked on so press to attack it and unlock this achievement. It registers as you both attacking the enemy as a team.
Seven in One Blow20
Defeat seven enemies without being hit in a mission
There are enough enemies to get this in the first mission. You should have no trouble attacking enemies by spamming the while locked on with . If you are being attacked, you will be prompted to press to counter the attack. Just make sure you don't get hit during these attacks or you will be at zero again.
No Flies on Shard 20
Complete all objectives in a mission successfully without dying
The first level is quite easy, and you might not lose any health at all to begin with unless you hit something while flying. Just defeat the enemies you encounter and try to get used to countering attacks.
Fly Safe 10
Complete An Ally in the Sand without touching a twister
This is the first level in the Desert of Kuneer levels. It's very easy to avoid the twisters since they are spread very far apart. You should have no problems navigating around them.

O Rly?5
Replay a mission
After your first mission is over, select "replay" and you will unlock the achievement. You can actually replay it if you want, or just quit out.
Take That, You Fiend! 10
Hit an enemy with the Corkscrew in a mission
To hit an enemy with a corkscrew, fly straight towards it. Lock onto it with . When the game prompts you to counter the move, instead press the up and try to fly into the enemy.
Make some Noise 5
Hoot 108 times
To hoot, press . While flying and playing missions, just keep pressing it until the achievement unlocks. It doesn't actually do anything, besides make noise.
No Witnesses 20
Defeat every enemy in a story mission
The first mission this can be accomplished on is the second mission and can almost be considered story related. A decent amount of missions will require you to defeat all enemies.
A Bird in the Hand 5
Upgrade your owl with any Battleset
You will be notified when you unlock a new Battleset. Once this happens, finish your mission and return to Shard's Hollow. Now select the armory. The first one you can buy is called Swift Steel. It will cost you 150 Shinies (the currency). You should have enough to buy this by the time you unlock it. Once bought, it will be equipped and you will unlock the achievement.
Great Shot 10
Hit an enemy with a flaming coal
There are flaming coals that you can pick up with when prompted on specific levels. The game will usually point out these areas for you. You will hold 2 coals at a time. Lock onto an enemy and press to throw the coal. You must do this to the first boss.
That Was Close! 10
Narrowly avoid colliding with an enemy in a mission
You'll most likely get this while fighting enemies. Narrow means extremely close. The more enemies on the screen, the better. This should come natural, but if it doesn't then you're going to have to pull some maneuvering while flying, using the . Right when an enemy is coming in for an attack (and you ignoring the counter warning) barrow role to the left or right and you should see a slow motion scene take place.
Gliding with Style20
Complete a mission without losing your armor
This should come along with normal play. Your armor is whatever Battleset you have on. On the top right of the screen is your health (a green bar). When you have a Battleset on, it shows an armor type design on it. As you take damage, it starts to chip away. You must have some left by the time the mission ends.
Easy Method: You can also gain these in bonus missions. Doing a Speed Flying objective for example could grant you this achievement very easily since the only way you can lose armor is to accidently fly into the environment.
Kuneer or Kufaar 10
Complete the Desert of Kuneer Missions
These missions are the first set and there are a total of 5 you must complete. The missions revolve around battles with bats and finally a boss at the end (the Chieftain).
1. An Ally in the sand
2. Desert Eagle
3. Thieves in the Night
4. Into the Hideout
5. The Chieftain Strikes
After beating these missions you will gain the achievement as well as being able to play the Kuneer Bonus Mission, located at the bottom of the mission list. These levels should take you around 35-40 minutes to complete.
Fly like the Wind30
Use 50 Wind Currents
A Wind Current is a way to boost speed while flying through missions. They are in various spots while playing a level, and are shown as swirling wind. You should get this along with your playthroughs of this game.
Alternative Method: If you want this fast, load up the bonus mission on The Island of Hoole and just keep pressing back on the right stick so you flip around and can flip around again to go through it.

As the Crow Flies 20
Defeat 20 Crows
The crows appear in the story mode as well as the survival mode in the bonus mission located on the Island of Hoole. You have to do survival mode anyways for a gold medal, so you'll get this while playing the game naturally.
That's Got to Hurt 10
Successfully perform the Fall From Grace
You must unlock this move to be able to earn it. You unlock moves by killing enemies in levels. Once you have earned it, the game will tell you what it is and how to use it. You must press and at the same time when prompted on an enemy. Remember to press the buttons again when prompted during the move so you don't crash into the ground.
Lucky Number 20
Achieve a 15 hit chain in a mission
You should be able to get this when there are at least 5 enemies on the screen at once. Using only the helps because you do minimal damage to enemies, therefore have more of a chance to land more attacks. This cannot be done on a bonus mission. By the last level you should be able to do up to 20 chain attacks at times.
Feeling Shattered5
Break an enemy's armor
The game will eventually introduce you to an enemy who has armor (like your Battleset). It will explain how to break it. Press to do an armor breaking move. You will be able to include this into combos. An enemy with armor must have it removed before you can do any other attacks, and your Wingmen will not attack until the armor is gone.
Make a Splash 10
Throw an enemy into the water
To do this you must use the grab attack by pressing when an enemy is targeted and locked onto. There must be water below or around you. Use the when the enemy is grabbed, and press it downwards to throw the enemy down into the water.
Light'em up10
Complete Lighting The Way without a torch going out too early
This mission is in the Forest Kingdom of Tyto (third one on the list). You must light all of the torches as fast as you can so that the game moves you to the next set of them. You'll have to ignore all enemies to be sure none of them go out. Lighting the last ones will end the mission.
The Journey 25
Fly 100 Kilometers
This is cumulative within all missions. You should gain this about midway through The Forest Kingdom of Tyto.
Dodge'ems 20
Complete Pure Retaliation without being hit by a turret
This is the 5th mission in The Forest Kingdom of Tyto. There are turrets in the level that shoot slow and none of them really seem to be targeting you since you're on the move a lot. Grab the hot coals from the green allie flying around with the and then target a turret. Press twice to throw both coals to destroy a turret. Repeat this with the rest of the turrets. Now just complete the level to unlock the achievement.
Tyto is Righto 10
Complete the Forest Kingdom of Tyto Missions
This is the second area with missions, and there are a total of 5 of them. Complete the missions below and you'll earn this achievement along with the bonus mission for this area. These missions should take you around 45 minutes to complete.
1. Pure Ones Pursuit
2. Resistance Evacuation
3. Lighting the Way
4. Fire Fight
5. Pure Retaliation
Fashionable Owl 15
Wear 4 different Battlesets in missions
You should have 4 different Battlesets by the end of Forest Kingdom of Tyto. To get these quick just enter into a bonus mission with one on, then exit. Switch your armor out and go back into the mission. You can also just complete missions with them, but for getting more gold medals on missions you may want to use the above method to stick with speed based Battlesets.

Owls of Derisive Laughter 10
Complete Race to the Retreat in 4 minutes or less
This is the first mission in The Glauxian Brothers Retreat. You must race through rings in a set course. Missing 6 rings will fail you the mission. It might take you one or two attempts to get good and used to it. You really should have the Diamond Dash Battleset equipped to go through this as fast as possible. There is a gold medal to beat this in under 3:00 minutes, but you should be able to do it in at least 2:45.
Max Power 30
Equip a top quality Battleset
There are two top quality Battlesets. The first one you will earn is called Burning Spirit. It costs 400 Shinies and you should gain this by the end the missions "A Curious Convoy" during the Glauxian Brothers Retreat area. The achievement will unlock when you purchase it (since it auto-equips.)
Passive Aggressive 20
Complete a mission using just wingmen
After gaining the Burning Spirit battleset, feel free to revisit the first level in The Desert of Kuneer. There aren't many enemies here and it's a short mission. Anytime an enemy is going to attack you, follow the on-screen counter so that you can build your prowess meter. Once you can use a wingman, use it against the enemy you have targeted. Just make sure you don't actually launch an attack. Counters are okay, as they don't damage an enemy.
Put the Win in Wingman 20
Use your Wingmen 20 times
You should play a mission with a good amount of enemies to use your wingmen against. You need to use them 20 times throughout one single mission. This is not accumulative within separate missions. To gain prowess to use the wingmen, defeat enemies, collect coins, and successfully counter attacks. With the Burning Spirit Battleset equipped you should gain this really fast. Just use the Battleset on the following level after you gain and equip it. Get the bar full to all three yellow bars with the icons green instead of red. Press the three times while targeting an enemy. This will count all uses and does not have to be on separate enemies. If you fail a mission and have to use a life, the amount of times the wingmen used will carry over to the next life, even if dealing with the same enemies.
Defeat the Hagsfiend Queen 10
Complete the Glauxian Brothers Retreat Missions
The third area in the game is called Glauxian Brothers Retreat and has 5 missions to complete for this achievement.
1. Race to the Retreat
2. A Curious Convoy
3. Shard to the Rescue
4. Battle at the Mine
5. The Queen's Game
Love the Smell 20
Bomb 20 Turrets
A turret can be any stationary weapon firing at you. Catapults and ballistae both count towards this. The bombing doesn't have to completely destroy the turret, just has to have hit it once to count. You will get this while plaything through the story if you attack every turret on every level.
Sold Out 50
Buy all the Battlesets
There are a total of 6 battlesets you must buy. Battlesets are earned as you beat missions and progress through the main storyline. Below is a list of the 6 battlesets that you will be earning and buying throughout the game. The training claws are automatic and do not have to be purchased. All sets will cost 1825 Shinies. You unlock all the last Battleset by the end of Glauxian Brothers Retreat Missions. You may not have enough to afford the last piece, so play through more missions and you should have enough by the end of the game.
1. Swift Steel: 150 Shinies
2. Valore Rose: 200 Shinies
3. Diamond Dash: 275 Shinies
4. Golden Heart: 300 Shinies
5. Burning Spirit: 400 Shinies
6. Iron Fortitude: 500 Shinies
Boy Are My Arms Tired 50
Fly more than 200 kilometers
You should have flown enough and have gotten this within the final level. If for some reason you, because you never died or never replayed missions, then move on to the bonus missions after the game is complete to earn this.
Vanquish the Evil 50
Complete the game
After you defeat the last boss, you will get the achievement for completing the game. The last area "The Beaks" has 5 levels which are the last missions in the campaign. Completing this set will also unlock the last bonus mission in the game.
1. No Owl Gets Left Behind
2. Defense Destruction
3. Breaking the Signal
4. Clawing Towards the Forge
5. Allomere's Fury

Boss Rush 20
Defeat any boss without losing a life
There are 3 bosses in the game that you can get this achievement on.
1. The Chieftain Strikes (The Desert of Kuneer)
2. The Queen's Game (The Glauxian Brothers Retreat)
3. The Beaks (Allomere's Fury)
The easiest boss is Allmoere, which is the last boss in the game. You should have the best battleset armor in the game, as far as health and defense go. Chase him after the initial portion of the mission, throwing hot coals at him to break down his armor. When you're fighting him, just keep attacking him. Whenever he throws you backwards, be prepared to hit either or when prompted. Follow up with attacks of your own. You will most likely not get hit much at all in this battle. You will have to beat every boss without dying in order to get all gold medals in missions, but this is the easiest fight to get the achievement.
Owlage 20
Use the corkscrew on 20 enemies
To use the corkscrew, you must press up on the . To actually hit an enemy with this move, it's easiest to use it as an enemy is lining up to attack you. Do this instead of countering. Also this will use prowess, so you'll only be able to use it when you have that built up. This might be one of the few achievements you don't get by the end of the game, but can get it while you play the bonus missions.
Free Flight 20
Explore all five environments in the Bonus Missions for a short time
Once you have completed the game, you will have unlocked all bonus missions, one per area.
1. Hoole Bonus Mission
2. Kuneer Bonus Mission
3. Tyto Bonus Mission
4. Retreat Bonus Mission
5. Beaks Bonus Mission
You won't get this just by visiting each bonus mission, you must be participating in each of the tasks within them. You'll get this as you go for the scrolls and gold medals.
See a Penny 50
Collect 4200 Shinies
You collect Shinies by defeating enemies and finding them throughout the level. The game wants you to collect 4200, though you will only need 1825 of that amount to buy the Battlesets. You do not have to be carrying all 4200 at the same time, though it has to be on one save file (aka obtained with one owl). After completing the story you should have collected around 2000 or so. After playing all of the bonus mission challenges, you should have gotten the achievement. If not, replay a survival mission.
Art Appreciation 30
Collect all the artwork
There are a total of 25 pieces of artwork, 5 per bonus mission in the form of a scroll. While in a bonus mission, on the lower right side of your screen you'll notice an indicator as you fly around. It will be red and turn greener as you get closer to a scroll. Go through each bonus mission collecting these to get the achievement. Hit whenever you want to check how many scrolls you have while in that specific bonus mission.

How To Style A Pompadour – The Good Kind Of Grease
Personal appearance takes up the mouth portion of the Pac-Man pie chart for personal geek equity. Some geeks prefer the low-key approach to fashion. Some geeks have a closet full of band tees. Some geeks rock the full print Dragonball/Spider-Man/Batman/Naruto short-sleeved button up (not that there's anything wrong with that). Some geeks have the long hair. Some geeks have the short hair.
Just close your eyes and imagine geeks worldwide, of every color and shape and walk of life.
Everyone holding hands and singing in unison, celebrating our diversity and our physical differences and limitations. And the food... my God the food we all brought to the feast was of the most succulent varieties. And there was peace, love and goodwill all across the land. And the clouds, they rolled warmly in glorious technicolor. Where the hell am I going with this... oh right... the hair.
I've been doing my hair pompadour style for a few months now, and I want to show you how to do it.
Pompadour For Dummies
The Pompadour, or "pomp" was an incredibly popular hairstyle in the 50's among rock and country musicians, actors, and residents of Hill Valley. The style is characterized by its clean, slicked and combed sides and back and coiffed, full front and top. Think Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Morrissey and Silvio Dante.
The Cut
Although the pomp is very simple in design, it is a rarity to find a barber or stylist that can properly cut one. Having a precise cut is imperative to the structural integrity of the pomp. The nature of the pomp is short on the back and sides and long on the top, but if you get the wrong cut, you could end up with some renegade hairs once the grease is in. Finding a seasoned pomp veteran is key. Here's a picture of what mine looks like sans product. Hold your applaud ladies, it only gets better.
Pay close attention to the length on top – you cannot, I repeat CANNOT have a pomp with short hair on top/front. It should go at least to your eyebrows, even longer. The sides and back have a bit more room for length. Some people like to have more length on the sides to slick back, some like it close cropped. You know, to make the top look bigger.
What You Will Need
Contrary to belief or what a lot of modern fancy stylists will tell you, one does not need a lot of products to get a good, high pomp going. You don't even need a blow dryer or hairspray. All you need is one comb (or brush) and a few finger tips of the proper pomade. And folks, the pomade is the most important part.
These drug store pomades? Don't work. Stuff from the salon? Won't cut it. You need the real stuff, the good stuff, the stuff they used in the old days. There are a few brands sworn upon by rockabillies and greasers everywhere, like Dax, Black & White, Royal Crown (the one Elvis used) and the ever popular Murray's Superior Pomade. These brands are the true stock for any pomp, but I'm telling you they are a killer to get out of the hair. You see, they are meant to be left in the hair for the short-term. My first time with Murray's left me a weepy mess on the shower floor until it eventually came out after three washings with liquid dish soap and olive oil.
I'm the exception as I like the full wash daily, which is why I swear by Layrite, a pomade created by the "World Famous" Hawleywood's Barbershops. This stuff is water soluble, meaning it will rinse out easily with water alone. But if you're in it to win it, any of the aforementioned pomades will do the trick. For the true hardcore to the pomp scene, even beeswax or petroleum jelly will work in a pinch. But there you go, you can put the myth of drawers full of products and procedures behind. Now all that's left is time, a little patience and a bit of finesse.
Step I – Butter It Up
Now you're ready to take the plunge into the sexy end of the pool. With DRY hair, get about two fingertips of the pomade and run it through your luscious mane. You will no doubt end up using more than this, but you don't want to put too much in at one time as this will weigh down your hair making the pomping process a bitch. Its a lot easier to add then to subtract when it comes to the grease.
Step II – The Slick Back
So far, pretty easy... grab your comb (I prefer red ones, they go faster) and thoroughly comb your hair back. If you feel the need to add some more pomade at this point, go ahead - I find that generally I use 2-3 small applications in total. You can use a brush if that's what you prefer, but I find a finer toothed comb will yield the best results when you get to the next step. A pomp will work with a part or without, its entirely up to you. Experiment like you're in college and see what works best. I prefer no part, because otherwise I look like a life insurance salesman. But, different strokes...
Believe me, it is much easier performed than written, so you're going to need some practice. I find that if you loosen up your wrists and relax you get much better results. When I first started I was so paranoid about every hair getting out of place, but in truth if you haven't used too much or too little pomade, you can refine it once the general shape is to your liking.
The biggest problem area here is the corners of your hairline. More often than not, when you get that lift in the front, these two spots above your temple don't cooperate and you get a chink in the armor. If you get this space between your sides (which are still slicked back) and the pomp in the front, with a delicate hand use your comb to blend these sections in. One little trick I've learned, is to go back and comb the upper sides of your hair, right below your part area. Comb them back but swoop the hair near the back of your head up. It sounds incredibly confusing I know, but think of the way a duck's wings meet its tail. Having your sides gradually coming up will often provide some support to help anchor those problem front corners and keep them up. All heads and hair are different though, so you will need to take some time to figure out whats best for your hair.
Step IV – The Once Over
You're pretty much done at this point, but if you're like me, you gotta have it perfect. You don't want to be doing any drastic resculpting at this point – though believe me you may be tempted. Giving your sides and back one more slick back will make sure that your wings are tight, making the pomp that much more glorious.
Depending on the caliber of your barber or stylist, you may get some renegade strands popping out near your crown or sides. If a few flicks of the comb doesn't put these punks to bed, wet your hands with a little water and softly smooth it out. You don't need any hairspray. Put that down.
For more reference, Murray's website has a great pomp gallery, as does Hawleywood's.
Step V – Find A Brick Wall... Lean
Step back and take a long look at yourself. Good God you're handsome. If you've used one of the aforementioned brands of pomade, after ten minutes nothing will take that hair down. Wind? Forget about it. Hoody? Laughable Man. Bullets? Yeah, these will cut through the hair, you're not Superman.
So there you have it, Daddy-O. Meet you at the malt shoppe. You want a Pepsi kid, you're gonna have to pay for it.

Outstanding Brutha!! Excellent pictures and instructions, now if I could only find a barber in OK who knows how to cut a pomp. I use the Super Layrite, it is awesome stuff.. The pomp is a keeper, don't cut it off.ReplyDelete
Great pictures and wonderful walk-through, thank you so much! And I agree with Molly, you really rock that pomp. Gorgeous!ReplyDelete
The pomp suits you well, and so does that Dr. Manhattan tattoo.ReplyDelete
haha, very good! =DReplyDelete
Alright boss, this nerd has sported the pompadour for a while now after dropping the Javert look.ReplyDelete
One thing I gotta ask: how the hell do you clean your comb? I eventually throw them away and buy another cheap one.
Which Dax do you use?ReplyDelete
ryan, thanks so much for this. i just joined a rockabilly band and needed to get the requisite haircut. yours is the only page I've found that really showed me not only how to style my hair, but how to get it cut.ReplyDelete
well done, you!
Nice post! You have no idea how much you have helped me....now to find a better barber!ReplyDelete

Good guide! My hair is really just above the eyebrows right now, but I still slick my hair back, sometimes parting it a bit, and raise the front to form the pompadour "quiff." I'm nearly there, just got to have a bit more length.ReplyDelete
I use Dax Wave & Groom, Royal Crown Pomade, and Brylcreem, often in combination.

Post a youtube video! I've seen some of the pomps on youtube, but none look as clean as your's :DReplyDelete
Thanks for the Dax mention! Many people use Dax Pomade to make thier pomps. We also have a shampoo that was formulated to take wax out of your hair. Dax removing shampoo and restoring conditioner. Look us up on Facebook or our website.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the article, always wondered about the secrets behind the awesomeness of pompadoursReplyDelete
I just ran across an email I sent to all my rockabilly friends that had the title "Pomp tutorial from a HI-larious guy. Read it is a riot!" With a link to this article. The other day, by happenstanceb I was telling a story about awesome writing style since I blog and I was quoting this article because I think the subtitle sarcastic humor is to die for. Anyhow, I would love to read more of your stuff but I am not even 100% sure of the name of the author. Help a sista out! Please comment me at my blog and let me know so I can entertain myself with some more of your word-smithing! My public blog is Theadventuresofcharliedomme.blogspot.com It is the only way I can think of getting in touch. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the Support - GREAT BLOG!ReplyDelete
Layrite Guys....
You could be the coolest guy ever. Great walkthrough, I think I'm going to go to the hairdressers sometime next week and ask them to cut my hair for the ideal pomp! Can't wait to get my hands on that wax.ReplyDelete
Awesome tutorial. Really like your humor. Btw, you look sexy in glasses ;)ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing the product info and techniques. Brylcreem alone was leaving me a bit too dapper/businessy. The addition of Murrays and your instructions made all the difference. It only takes three washings (bar soap and 2 diff shampoos) to get back to clean hair, but that's a small price to pay.ReplyDelete
Best wishes on your life' journeys.
Haha! You're so cute! Thanks so much for this! I'm in hair school and I really want to get this look down and this was extremely helpful and easy to follow.ReplyDelete
youre wonderful im in loveReplyDelete
Excellent tutorial. American Crew Grooming Cream (blue label) is an awesome product with high hold and shine that is also water soluble. No problems washing it out, and it does everything for my pomp that Murray's did. It's the only product my barber recommends.ReplyDelete
THANK YOU!! I have been searching for ANY helpful info on how to keep my hubby's pomp last all day, and I found it. Plus, you're humorous! Thanks!ReplyDelete

Shooter's Ridge Deluxe Rifle Rest
Product Number: SE40804
Our Price: $100.49
Availability: In stock
Shooter's Ridge
Details & Specs
Shooter's Ridge Deluxe Rifle Rest is rated out of 5 by 6.
Rated 5 out of 5 by tonebone from Heavy & Stout I have been waiting for a good deal on a bench rest for a LONG time. This is IT. It's heavy, sturdy, nicely appointed with elevation & windage adjustment and, a platform to carry 2 - 20lb lead sacks. The butt-stock has been dipped in a rubberized plastic, not unlike the handles of some tools. The rubber feet do not allow the unit to move at all. A few things to be improved on would be to open the leather "sandbag" and fill it with... well, sand or, memory foam pieces. It's a deflated leather bag but, will work as is. Not a problem... A few minutes with a needle & thread, some sand... done and done. The windage platform does wiggle a bit but, again, to remedy this, a thin piece of plastic, nylon, teflon to create a bit of tension between the moving platform and the base will fix that. For $50, it's a real score! Thanks for lowering the price Natchez.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Buddyroe from The most adjustable rest I have tried I had a chance to use the Shooter's Ridge rifle rest at a rifle range and decided to buy one for myself. I had a heck of a time trying to locate one until I happened on the Natchezss web site. This is the most adjustable rest I have used and the price and fast shipping at Natchezss was a plus. The only thing I would beef up is the front stock rest.
Date published: 2015-11-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by JRP556 from Fantastic deal! I have used this a rest a few times now and it is exactly as advertised. It makes a solid adjustable platform for sighting in a scope. This only thing I wish it had was some kind of bag for the buttstock. I used a piece of rubber I had and it seems to be working.
Date published: 2015-08-15
Rated 5 out of 5 by TYCAM from Solid I mount scopes and bore sight rifles for friends and relatives. I've already used this rest when making final adjustments at the range and it's definitely going to be an ammo saver. It's a great value and easy to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bullseye from Great product This is the second rifle rest i have purchased. Same model. Liked it so much, had to have two. Very convenient and easy ro use at the range.

Rated 5 out of 5 by eyegore from Fantastic - my first rest I have used this rest with my 30-06 to put two bullets through the same (almost) hole on a 100 yard target. Never done this before.

Does this product come with the sandbags or can you buy it separately??? And Where please. Thank You.

Epigenetic engineering of human pluripotent cell fate
Virtually all cells in our body possess an identical genetic code. However, the expression of this code is regulated by a multitude of factors that coordinate which portions of the genetic code can be read and interpreted. We further know that these so called epigenetic factors change drastically through development, and patterns of epigenetic marks control changes to cellular identity. The proposed research aims to site-specifically change key epigenetic marks, altering which DNA instructions are available to pluripotent cells and changing their behavior during cell fate commitment. We describe a technique to bind custom DNA binding proteins (TALES) to critical regulatory regions of known cell fate determining genes. TALE binding changes local DNA chromatin structures and implants instructions for becoming desirable cell types when given an appropriate environmental cue. This novel and potentially transformative approach, termed "epigenetic engineering" (EE), is proposed here to improve stem cell differentiation towards more pure and functionally mature cardiomyocytes. This will not only be the first example of guiding cell fate through gene-specific epigenetic manipulation, but will improve the generation of necessary cardiomyocyte types for cell replacement following heart attack. Lastly, EE also is likely to be adaptable to numerous differentiation strategies for routine production of many regenerative medicine cell types.
Heart disease and myocardial infarction represent the primary cause of death in industrialized nations. In California, greater than 1 out of 4 deaths are due to heart disease. The health and financial burdens are enormous. Currently, the most promising new strategies for heart regeneration involve replacement of dead or damaged tissue with cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from pluripotent stem cells; however, the control of pluripotent cell fate is problematic. Pluripotent-derived-CMs are typically impure and functionally immature, so they may not contribute to heart contractility effectively or safely. We propose the development of a novel technology, termed "epigenetic engineering (EE)," to control cell fate and improve yields of mature CMs. EE involves the stable manipulation of stem cell chromatin structures, without DNA breaks or mutations, so as to "set the stage" for correct differentiation. When given an appropriate environmental cue, the engineered stem cells can then interpret these instructions to guide their cell fate commitment. This technology will improve the routine production of pure and functional CMs for cell replacement strategies that could significantly augment the current standard of care. Also, and highly important, EE is likely to be adaptable to alternative differentiation strategies (e.g. insulin producing beta-cells) and therefore potentially transformative for regenerative medicine.

May 28, 2009
CLEMSON, S.C. - A trio of Alabama baseball players – Kent Matthes, Austin Hyatt and Jake Smith – were named to the 2009 Collegiate Baseball Newspaper/Louisville Slugger All-American team on Thursday, according to long-time publisher and college baseball historian Lou Pavlovich, Jr.
Matthes was named to the 17-man first team squad, while Hyatt and Smith were both third team selections.
"All three players had tremendous years for us and are very deserving of this honor," Alabama head coach Jim Wells said on the eve of the Tide's 20th NCAA Regional appearance. "Matthes had an incredible year on offense with all the home runs and Hyatt set the tone each weekend as our Friday night starter. Smith had a great year and we will miss his presence in the lineup after his injury. It was an unfortunate injury, but he is a very tough competitor."
Matthes was named the 2009 SEC Player of the Year and is a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy, presented to the top player in college baseball.
The Orlando, Fla., native was the unanimous SEC Player of the Year, after hitting .365 with a 28 home runs and 81 RBI for the Crimson Tide this season. He led the SEC in home runs, RBI, total bases (174) and slugging percentage (.883). He was also third in runs scored (65) and sixth in hitting this season.
Matthes set the Alabama single-season record with 28 home runs, which ties him for the national home run lead with Middle Tennessee State's Bryce Brentz. Matthes broke the school record with his 28th home run against South Carolina on May 20 at the SEC Tournament. He slugged his 27th home run of the season in the Tide's regular season finale at Auburn on May 16 to tie Doug Duke's single-season home run record set in 1986.
He has four multi-home run games and one walk-off home run this season. In addition, 16 of his 28 home runs have tied the game or given Alabama the lead, including 10 go-ahead home runs. He also has nine game-winning RBI.
Hyatt posted an 8-2 record and 3.14 ERA in 14 starts this season. Alabama was 9-5 in his 14 starts and he left with the lead in 13 of the 14 games. He led the SEC in innings pitched (100 1/3) and ranked second in ERA (3.14), third in opponents batting average (.220) and wins (8) and ninth in strikeouts (86).
In SEC play, the Marietta, Ga., native led the league in innings pitched (78 1/3) and starts (10) and ranked third in ERA (3.22), opponents average (.210) and fewest walks (9). He was also fourth in wins (5) and eighth in strikeouts (69).
Smith, who suffered a season-ending injury at the SEC Tournament, was having his best season with the Crimson Tide. The junior is was hitting .359 with 18 home runs and 53 RBI in 49 games. He is fifth in the SEC in slugging (.728), sixth in total bases (142), eighth in home runs (18) and batting average (.359). In SEC play, he is fourth in slugging (.687), sixth in home runs (9) and eighth in doubles (9).
Smith was named to the SEC All-Defensive Team for the second year in a row after making only five errors (.955) in 112 chances at third base.

Hard campground to find, make sure you get good directions. We had a very nice pull through site. The campground has a very nice woods feel to it. The facilities are a little aged but clean. - JG Houston
Sep 2009 - $34.00
Following directions in the Trailer Life Directory left us lost. A phone call advised us one of their campground signs was missing causing us to miss a turn. This is all on very narrow, hilly back roads and now we needed to turn around, to get on the correct dirt access road and find the campground. Registered (see below) and then down a narrow steep dirt/gravel road that was less then fun; although backing into our site was a snap. Most all sites are in heavy wooded areas with little to no natural light. Had to use our trailer lights during the day. All services are back up this steep dirt/gravel access road including the pool, rest rooms, showers, laundry (1 washer/dryer) and garbage site. The garbage site had stuff all around and not a clean or attractive area. Trailer Life says this is a Good Sam park, but no signs posted either on the road or in the office area that I saw. Did not receive an itemized copy of my registration. Will not stay here again. - skihoser
Jul 2009 - $34.00
Stayed for three nights in a pull through site. Office staff polite and helpful. Pool was clean and opened early when attendant done with testing/setup. WiFi only available at Office area. Cable TV would be nice since the over the air digital signals go in and out on most of the networks. Would consider staying there again when visiting people in the Scranton area. - GordonR

We camped here over Memorial Day weekend. We had a back in site next to the restroom. They have large deep sinks outside of the restroom so it is easy to wash dishes there. Sites are very shaded and tend to be narrow but no problems to get slides out. Very quiet campground for a holiday weekend. The lake is large and has easy access if you have a boat. Pool was closed at our visit because they are doing repairs to it. This wasn't our first visit here and we will be going back again. - joinpa
Jun 2014 - $33.00
This rate reflects a Senior discount (appreciated!) and a $10 change fee when we had to change dates. We were in the loop numbered 1-50, and there were cabins and a yurt. The electric was good, but we would have appreciated water and maybe sewer. The bathrooms were clean. The roads were pretty tight, but they were paved, as were the sites. The sites were heavily wooded, not too level and our loop was not big rig friendly at all. Travel trailer or smaller class C would be OK. TV antenna reception was OK. The park is beautiful, but the campground was pretty empty. but I think they would be busier with water and maybe sewer at the sites. It was good for our overnight and we would stay there again. - R&S
Jun 2013 - $24.00
The rate reflects senior discount. This is a nice clean Pennsylvania State Park, with paved roads and wide paved sites. There are 3 camping loops, pets are prohibited in the first loop but are allowed in the second and third loop. There are a limited number of 50 amp sites, but the park is heavily wooded likely allowing you to get by with 30 amp service. Your our choice of sites will be greatly enhanced if you can get by with 30 amp service. The sites in the second loop are much more level and more easily backed into than in the third loop. We were placed in site 81 where backing in was not for the faint of heart, and leveling was almost impossible. We did not evaluate the first loop as we travel with pets. As noted, the park is to heavily wooded for satellite access, but we were able to get more than 20 digital HD sites over the air with our small roof top antenna. Recycling bins are available for those who care about the environment. - Johnson's

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Shipman is a name that was formed by the Anglo-Saxon society of old Britain. The name was thought to have been used for someone who once worked as a person who worked as a mariner or as a ship-builder. Occupational names frequently were derived from the principal object associated with the activity of the original bearer, such as tools or products. These types of occupational surnames are called metonymic surnames. The most common suffixes for occupational names are maker, herd, hewer, smith, er, ing, and man.
The surname Shipman was first found in Herefordshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest in 1066.
Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Shipman include Shipman, Shippman, Chipman, Shipham and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Shipman research. Another 111 words (8 lines of text) covering the years 1664, 1662, 1664, 1639 and 1712 are included under the topic Early Shipman History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 149 words (11 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Shipman Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Shipman were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records:
Shipman Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Shipman Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Shipman Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Shipman Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
The Shipman Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Shipman Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Guest Post: The Upside Of The Fiscal Cliff
Submitted by Charles Hugh-Smith of OfTwoMinds blog,
Facing reality is positive. That's the upside to the fiscal cliff.
Now of course, retirees are also dying, so you might think this is only half the story. However, the people who die are, on the average, 15 years older than the new retirees. So when the number of retirees surges in 2011, the number of deaths is still from the pre-boomer group, and stays roughly constant.In other words, Social Security and Medicare outlays continue to increase for 15 years, until the number of retirees dying rises to match the number of new retirees.

There are many reasons for Gold. First and foremost: Preservation of Wealth. The illusionary paper wealth will implode in the next few years. The initial trigger will be the collapse of the world's reserve currency – the US dollar. The financial system is unlikely to survive in its present form. Gold has been money for 5,000 years and will continue to be the only currency with integrity.
If you say "reality" and "fiscal cliff" in the same sentence then I'm going to excercise my right to print this out and wipe my ass with the whitened cellulose.
There's nothing real about fake debt incurred by a fake government generated by fake money printed by fake people (organized crime cartel called the Federal Reserve).
"We are at last starting to (grudgingly) accept there is no free lunch"
by "we" are you including those with Obama Phones?
Nah ~ We're working on the Echo [Chamber] Boom at the moment...
I am by nature an optimist, but in this regard I feel as if I have advanced flesh eating disease, all my limbs must be amputated and my face reconstructed without anesthetic, and it is not at all certain that I will survive to live a disfigured, limbless life of pain and struggle.
Outside of that, now that I have faced up to the situation, I am pretty upbeat.
"Facing reality" in this instance is the regular people having to pay the consequences of the upper class living in a economic fantasy. The only people who can find something positive in that are those who aren't going to have to struggle to feed their families. Thanks, Sir Charles, for helping us to have a happy holiday, even though we know that the "Fiscal Stiff" is just for the little people.
The reality is the upper class no longer want to abide by the bargain they made: in exchange for paying more taxes to support the bottom, the bottom would be content with Lohan stories and plastic chinese trinkets while the upper classses could rule. If the bargain is being re-negociated, I vote for making the upper classes bacon. Everything tastes better with bacon.
"[T]axes for upper-income wage-earners will revert to previous levels while those drawing Federal dollars must accept reductions in spending."
Correction: "Those drawing Federal dollars must accept reductions in the increase of spending."
The government will, of course, increase taxes on the so-called "upper-income" wage-earners ( "upper," by political definition an arbitary term; thus, quite flexible in terms of parameters ). That said, when was the last time there was enacted a veritable, genuine baseline reduction in any governmental budget: No increase whatsoever in spending from the prior fiscal year, but an actual reduction from the prior FY's level of spending ? What is currently being deliberated is simply a reduction in the rate of increase in spending, as opposed to a reduction in the level of spending itself -- that, a foregone conclusion as it is, will continue to rise in absolute terms.
The current activities in Washington are but a dress rehersal for that which is to come a decade or more hence, when the financial liabilities coming due will be of a far greater magnitude.
Despite all the screaming and shouting; going over the 'fiscal cliff' would actually be the best thing for the USA's future fiscal soundness...
That's why I call it a Fiscal Ravine.. and warning it's getting dark soon and the wolves and coyotes are coming out. So raise taxes and cut spending .. and stop importing so much crap and make more things here in America again.
What Britney wants... Britney gets...
There is no such thing as "the USA's future fiscal soundness". The belief that there is some sort of "solution" that exists to create fiscal soundness shows a lack of understanding of our monetary system. Timing of the collapse and "what comes next" are valid questions to consider, not "how do we fix this".
You are probably correct.
I don't know who advises the 2 chief clowns but working out 2 trillion over 10 years leaves them 1 trillion per year short.
My understanding of the "fiscal cliff" is a "hit" of about $600 billion leaving a deficit of about the same. Seems more of a fiscal challenge as opposed to cliff.
Is it possible that the political theatre we are witnessing is only and exactly that? Is it possible that it has been realized that trillion dollar ++ deficits cannot be financed anymore?
Has it finally been decided (by whom?) that the runaway debt of $16 T, that no one wants part of anymore, with rising interest rates, is the REAL "fiscal cliff"?
Now that the elites have everybodies attention squarely focused on gun control and the fiscal cliff I have one question.......what are they doing while we are distracted?
Prepping the pleb virus. The issue with the virus is getting the people out of residental areas to die, so clean up is easier.
We have been told for a decade - "Clinton tax rates good, Bush tax cuts bad"
So let ALL Bush tax cuts expire. It is the only way to get back to the coveted Clinton rates. The left will scream bloody murder, the right will just scream.
Then let's get federal govt spending back just to 2008 levels (which is what every American is doing individually - so government can do the same)
Deficit problem solved. Entitlements to be dealt with in 2013.
I used to care about the deficit and the debt... until they both became to large, to unwieldy, and blatantly unsustainable. to see the gov't use their unlimited borrowing and taxing power to target our constitutional freedoms and liberties all to bring this country under the rule of the fascist kleptocracy and politically connected cronies, makes me wonder who I should be rooting for when I watch the news.
The fiscal cliff will not be solved in any way that will bring the required austerity and reduction in the size, scope and power of the federal government.
So I say, let it burn. Let the politicians borrow more enormous sums of money for more freebies for the moochers, parasites, and policital cronies. Borrow more money, and keep borrowing, the bigger the implosion the better... maybe at that time we can repudiate our debt and start over.
Always there has to be some optimist looking for the upside. Shit. Me, I am sticking wih Plan A.
Nice little trough in the early thirties....seems people had other things on their minds like lunch and shelter. Children can be expensive........
enjoy yourself bitchez!
We should be having a national discussion on the evils of taxation altogether. The fact that we are talking about rates reminds me of the old joke about prostitutes,
Man to woman, "Will you have sex with me for a million dollars?"
Woman, "Sure!"
Man, "Will you have sex with me for one dollar?"
Woman, upset, "What do you think I am, a whore?"
Man, "We have settled that question. Now we are just haggling over the price."
Well, we know we are all whores.
Hey, Tarzan: we only need one freaking law, the LAW OF THE JUNGLE.
Right. How about a 72,536 page tax code that even the people hired to enforce do not understand. That working out for you okay, champ?
Hey Rex are you picking fights? I thought you were a Catholic South Park watching pacifist. ;->
Nah, I just love ridiculous extremes. And Tarzan.
The Treasury can mint unlimited coinage without the Fed. Pay the seniors in change!
Excellent post. Could not agree more. The cliff is the best of all the options on the table. It would be a step in restoring faith in our government and our currency.
I think our socio-economic system and its associated government are very faith based.
Why do we all have to go over the cliff? Can't we just throw a few over and the rest of us divide up their stuff? I think that is basicly Obama's plan.
and that is why the politicos are furiously trying to avoid it with some sort of compromise. how absurd is that?
\sarc because i believe that this is all kubuki and we're going over the so-called cliff and even then, the changes going into effect will not do squat to stop the economic and fiscal implosions. just as planned.
oh and why they are distrzacting us with gun and cliff debates, they are positioning troops and hardware. war is coming.
It only restores "faith" in those who don't understand how the system works. The same thing is happening everywhere. And it's all we got, really... Faith. Faith takes many forms: blind optimism, normalcy bias, American exceptionalism, stupidity. I'm guessing that faith will be restored a few more times as we continue to circle the drain.
Best thing to happen, IMHO, is to go right over and into sequestration. The MIC will never loosen its grip unless forced to. Same for entitlements.
There is no critical thought when all energy is spent defending an entrenched position.
Defense spending cuts tend to get suspended during wartime and/or expansion of wartime. Just sayin'.
Next Few Days Particularly Crucial: 'Plan B' Collapses, Hope Fading, Consumer Confidence Plunges Sharply, And Unemployment Checks Stop Dec. 29!!
Why the desperation to raise taxes on ANYONE???
CUT SPENDING - period.
Old folks vote. Hard to take away their candy without paying the price come election-time.
Delusional. If you replaced "US" with any country in Europe it would be the same situation and it would make you laugh out loud: "At least Greece/Spain/Italy/etc is now talking about its spending and debt." Yeah, OK.
"We will pay more taxes and we will get fewer benefits ..."
How about this. We give the finger to FedGov and tell them to default. We're all going to get fewer benefits, but I'd rather not pay more for less.
"The Fed can play around with yields… , but these Operation Twist manipulations also have limits."
Have limits ??? The line in the sand keeps being redrawn since 2008 !!!
When they get cornered the slimy little weasels change the rules of the game on everyone…
The real cliff has already been gone over. It's like Wile E. walking on air momentarily with the ACME weight in hand, and then he chucks that so he doesn't weigh so much, stupidly thinking he'll be able to not fall, but he's going to fall anyway whether he has the weight in hand or not.
Social Security is in surplus until 2036. Then you just require the rich to pay as much as the middle class (flat tax) and it is solvent for hundreds of years. (At the moment, the rich pay a lower rate than the middle class)
Everyone pays the same rate. Up to the cap, which coincides with the benefit cap on the other end. If you want to have the high income people pay the tax on all their income, then they will get a much, much larger benefit too.
But you probably already knew that.
Big business and financial elite shills always mention the drain on Social Security, because of the Baby Boom generation, to scare us into cutting entitlements. President Reagan and Speaker O'Neill fixed the Social Security Baby Boom problem, with the Social Security Reform Act of 1983. Period.
The real problem is President Obama's unprecedented US sovereign-debt spending over the past four years—including, massive federal budget deficits of -8% to -10% of GDP, and the Fed monetizing debt by electronically printing money, to save the TBTF insolvent banks—TOTALING OVER SEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS!
The financial elite and big business have eaten everyone's lunch. To learn more, please read:

I am trying to plot the poles and zeros of a transfer functionin matlab for an RLC circuit. When I run the simulation with thecommand pzmap(H), (where H was defined as the mytransfer function (num)/(dem) and num=[R (1/C)] anddem=[L (1/C) R]), it just shows a blank screen. Itsable to find the zeros and poles but it just wont plot them.
I was thinking that I needed to define the range of s so Idefined it as s=[0:.01:1], but that didnt help.
I dont understand the matlab help. What are the arguments ofpzplot and pzmap, and what is the difference?
Thanks for any help!

Please help keep this bumped!
I tried BF & failed at it...but plan to give it a try again with the next LO one day. I feel so lucky that I have a great boss and work for a company that respects a mother's decision to breastfeed, as they offer whatever time you need (paid) to go to a specific, private lactation room to pump.
Other mothers are not so lucky. I read an article just now that a NJ judge ruled that "breastfeeding is unrelated to pregnancy and childbirth". Yeah, about as unrelated as my va-jay-jay is. Seriously dumb. He made this declaration because a woman was suing her former employer for firing her because she insisted on having unpaid time during the day & a clean place to express breastmilk. And the employer won after the judge's decision.
The Breastfeeding Promotion Act would protect women who need time during the work day to pump. Whether you BF or don't, this is a right that we should all stand up for. Please go to this link and sign the petition to Congress.
Here is a link to the article I read, if you wish to read too:

Brandon man charged with illegal tattoo operationNovember 13,2012A Brandon man who police say was tattooing people at his kitchen table denied criminal charges last weeks of running a tattoo business without a license.
Police arrested Adam J. Collis, 24, in September after receiving multiple complaints from people who allegedly received tattoos from Collis, Brandon police said in a court affidavit.
There were no complaints of illness or infections related to the alleged operation, but police said customers who went to Collis told stories about being tattooed in unsanitary conditions.
During a search of Collis home on Carver Street, police said they found tattoo guns, new and used needles, ink and marijuana.
Collis was charged with two misdemeanor counts of tattooing without a license from the state of Vermont. He also faces a misdemeanor charge of possessing marijuana.
Collis pleaded innocent to those charges last week in Rutland criminal court and was released on conditions that included he not purchase or possess any tattooing equipment.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

Have questions about this product?
footprint does not fit 2013/14 Eos 1P
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Backcountry is selling footprints manufactured in 2012. Marmot changed the dimensions of the Eos in 2013. So, if your tent was manufactured in 2013/14, this footprint WILL NOT FIT. Note: Manufacture dates can be found on all of Martmot's tents and footprints (on a little tag, sewn into a seam of the product). Details below...
After setting up the tent + footprint, it was clear that the footprint was wider than the actual tent, specifically at the head. When you place the footprint's grommets into the tent pole structure, the footprint is loose and the grommets slide off the pole structure. I contacted Marmot about it and they explained that the shape of the tent changed from 2012 to 2013/14. The head of the tent was 40" wide in 2012, but changed to 37" wide in 2013/14. This would explain why the footprint was wider than the tent at the head.
I actually purchased this footprint from another retailer first, had the same problem and returned it. So, before ordering this footprint from Backcountry I contacted them to explain the situation. They assured me the footprints they were selling 'came in on a shipment just a few weeks ago,' and so should be ones recently manufactured. Footprint arrived and it was again the wrong size (with a manufacture tag of SEP 2012) .
After talking with Marmot reps again, they thought it possible retailers might just throw all Eos footprints into one bin in the warehouse (regardless of manufacture date). So, I contacted Backcountry again and they offered to call down to their warehouse to check manufacture dates. No one ever got back to me (after contacting Backcountry multiple times via phone and live chat).
P.S. Marmot themselves also do not have 2013/14 footprints in stock, so take warning when purchasing this tent.
P.S.S. If you're only ever doing a footprint/fly set up (no tent), this footprint will work just fine.
I noticed that other retailers have the Sand colored footprint for sale as well as a Orange colored version. Do you happen to know which color matches which version (2012 or 2013/14)?
So I just checked our current inventory of this footprint and they are all the new model, Marmot style #28400. The date of that the footprint was made will be late 2012 since they have to have them ready to ship to retailers come the spring of 2013, when the new tents were going out as well. The footprint with style 28400 measures 27"x 85" x 35" and matches the Eos tent with Marmot style # 27600. The new tent (27600) has floor dimensions of 30" x 87" x 37".
The old style of footprint for the Eos was #2999 and measured 30" x 87" x 35" and was matched with the Eos tent #2806
Does backcountry still have the older model footprints in stock still?

About Me
Whatever Suits You:
I'm shooting all kinds of women in suits, shoes (preferably heels or something feminine), accessories. The undersuit wardrobe is up to the model. For some a shirt and tie will work really well - others may want to do just a bra or nothing. I am about collaboration. No pressure. These shots will be in the public spaces. This will include streets, rooftops, abandoned buildings, subways etc.
The point is the juxtaposition of feminine beauty with something that is uniform (in it's way) and a symbol of masculinity in general.
Beautiful Women in dilapidated spaces. The gorgeous vs the gritty so to speak. Basements, buildings, empty lots, all over. Some public, some less so.
Taking what I consider normally boring studio shots and doing them in the street just for the sake of making them more interesting. I'd love to hear your ideas for locations. These shoots can be very fast so if you have a few minutes and you want to create a few images that will be fun, flirty, sexy, or cool then get in touch and I'll swing by....
I shoot TFP for these three projects. I collaborate. I get work back insanely fast. I won't hit on you. If I photoshop you, you probably won't notice. Most of the time I won't. Women are beautiful. You can use the images anywhere you want. Just keep my watermark on and show me some link love. thanks.
Also - I won't chase you down. If I email you or you email me and I give you my number and say "Lets set something up" then the ball is in your court... As a male photographer I am going to try hard not to be the cliche and border on stalkerdom.
If I send you a friend request it means i think you are amazing in someway and we could create images that would make people stop and say "wow - that's cool!" If you like what you see accept the FR and write me to let me know you'd like to do something.
If you like what you see lets do something....thanks. Like wise - I'm not here to collect "friends" - If you don't like what you see I won't be hurt if you don't accept
I specialize in location shooting. From head shots to complex concepts lets talk and make something magical. I believe in collaboration and want to hear your ideas as much as I want you to hear mine.
Looking forward to hearing from you and making something phenomenal with you.

With Guest Host John Harwood.
We'll travel to the jungles of Burma for the remarkable true story of Billy Williams—aka "the elephant whisperer"—and his World War II heroism.
Anyone with a pet understands the special relationship between people and animals. But the story of Elephant Bill is on another level – the tale of British soldier Billy Williams, who used his intimate connection to the largest animals on earth to help the Allies defeat the Japanese in World War II. Vicki Croke, a present-day journalist whose beat is animals, has told it in her new book "Elephant Company." Are there 21st century lessons for us? Can we even be sure that elephants can survive the relentless assault of poachers? This hour On Point: how the elephant whisperer did it.
— John Harwood
Vicki Constantine Croke, author of "Elephant Company: The Inspiring Story of An Unlikely Hero And The Animals Who Helped Him Save Lives In World War II." Animals and wildlife reporter for WBUR Boston's "The Wild Life" blog. (@VickiCroke)
Paula Kahumbu, CEO of the conservation group, WildlifeDirect. Writes the Africa Wild column in The Guardian. (@paulakahumbu)
From The Reading List
Boston Globe: 'Elephant Company' by Vicki Croke — "Blending biography, history, and wildlife biology, Croke builds her story around Williams's exotic adventures. As the book opens, Williams, an English World War I veteran, is just arriving in Burma in the 1920s to work in the Bombay Burmah Trading Corp.'s teak-harvesting operations."
New York Times: Unlikely Warriors — "Croke is a natural storyteller, and she deftly evokes Williams's tale. He was a man with a capacity for forgiveness so remarkable it verged on being a flaw, a man who was constantly re-evaluating his reactions to situations and people and, when push came to shove, remained true to his values."
The Guardian: Kenya's First Lady takes the helm in the war on poachers — "I wonder how British people would feel if King Mswati III of Swaziland ran a campaign to mobilize Africans to end the British badger cull. The people of Africa have to be inspired to lead on African issues."
