I have been engaged in creating the future of science from the start. As
a young child, I was fascinated by futuristic stories of science in
Omni Magazine and Wired, leading me to get my PhD in the cutting edge
field of stem cell biology. My first-hand experience with the
inefficiencies and antiquities of "modern" academic research led me to
join the team at Mendeley where I work on bringing modern network
efficiencies to academic research.
I currently serve as the Head of Academic Outreach for Mendeley, a research management tool for collaboration and discovery.
Most recently, I did assay development for Genalyte, a molecular diagnostics startup. My work involved developing protein, DNA, and small molecule assays on their novel high-throughput assay platform.I received my PhD from the Tulane University, where I studied under Dr. Darwin Prockop at the Tulane Center for Gene Therapy. My dissertation is entitled "Investigating the Role of Human Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in the Repair of Bone", in which I developed a model of multiple myeloma in mice and used it to test small molecule inhibitors of the interaction between multiple myeloma and bone precursor cells, promoting bone regeneration and repair of osteolytic lesions.
My work at Tulane involved self-guided experimental research on the relationship between Human Adult Stem Cells and cancer. My areas of expertise are bone biology, multiple myeloma, adult stem cells, and development of disease models.

I'm doing a winter project to keep myself busy. I've run into something that hopefully someone has a solution to. A picture is worth a thousand words:
I'm unable to get a screw driver or knife under the dust caps to pop them off, when I spray it with wd-40, it seeps inside, so I'm know it's not a screw top. Before I drill a hole in it to pop them off, does anyone have some sound advice?
I'm hoping to not have to go into the local bike shop with a frame under my arm and my tail between my legs.

Jesse Michaels: the man, the myth, the legend. A man? Well, that's a given. The myth? Quite a few surround his whereabouts and doings during hiatuses over the course of his 20 year career. A legend? Most certainly. And while most are quick to remember him as the front man of the widely influential Operation Ivy, Jesse has amassed a healthy body of work with other projects over the years (including Big Rig, Common Rider, and occasional acoustic work).
But, to let Jesse tell it, he's always been more of an everyday man than a legend. On a recent tour date with his latest project (Classics of Love) Punknews.org's own journalistic miscreant Dorian "Big D" Wolak found that out firsthand and took the opportunity given to dispel some of the rumors.
Sometimes interviews leave me (Dorian Wolak) feeling flat out disappointed. I meet someone who I've held in the highest regards for what seems like forever only to find they just can't live up to those expectations that I've built around them . Over the years, I've seen some of my heroes reduced to assholes, "rock stars", drunks, addicts, rich guys and out-right idiots. With each one of those interviews, a little piece of my adolescent "punk rock" naiveté slips away.
But not all interviews are so discouraging; more often than not I come away with at least a little something that is somewhat intriguing. And every so often I'm treated to a conversation w/ one of those childhood heroes who are exactly how my mind's eye perceived them to be. Jesse Michaels is one of the latter. After catching his latest musical endeavor (Classics of Love) recently, I decided to press my luck and ask for an unscheduled interview. To my surprise he took me up on the offer. And although the interview was brief, I went home that night feeling vindicated in not only my investment in Jesse and his music, but vindicated in my devotion to punk rock as a whole. Here's how the interview went.
A lot of kids wake up one morning and decide "Hey, I'??m going to be a rock star" which I realize you tend to shy away from the whole "rock star" image and mentality but, how and when did you decide you were going to pursue a career in music?
Well, I'??ve never really pursued a career as a professional musician. I'??ve just sort of played music because I enjoyed it. Most of the time when I played there was very little possibility of making any money; and still, it'??s not really likely to make any money today. So it'??s something I do out of love, and if success comes that'??s great. If not, no regrets because I enjoy it.
But how and when did you get into music?
When did I decide I wanted to start playing? I'??ve really always loved music. Even before I was in a band I used to pretend I was a singer for a band, you know like listening to other records and I would pretend I was a singer, just as a little kid; like 11-12 years old. Very young I had the urge, even though it wasn'??t defined in any way. As soon as I got the opportunity to actually play with other people I did it. And you know it was great. And that'??s the cool thing about punk, there'??s less limitations in terms of how much you actually have to know how to play, you know the "anyone can do it" thing applied. So, I was able to do it because of that.
Some consider Berkley, California circa 1985-1989 to be the pinnacle of America'??s punk rock revolution or a punk rock wonderland (if you will). Can you paint us a picture of that environment?
When I was started getting into punk in Berkley things were actually dying out. Before I was involved with Berkley punk, there was a huge hardcore scene (in the original sense of the word); bands like Government Issue, Bad Brains, early Agnostic Front and Negative Approach. That scene was kind of dying down and there was a little bit of a void there. So actually, when I was into it things we'??re a little bit dead and they picked up with the local bands. So, the best way to describe it was just a bunch of kids playing music and having fun. It never seemed very epic it, just seemed like garage stuff'?¶ garage kicks you might say.
Looking back, does it surprise you in regards to how much attention that scene has garnered over the years?
It has surprised me; but, it doesn'??t surprise me anymore because I know different things mean different things to different people. For me, the scene that really seems legendary is the late 70'??s punk scene. Bands like The Weirdos, The Dils and stuff like that. But everybody has their own thing that they refer to which means a lot to them. I'??m just glad to be a part of the whole'?¶..process, I guess.
Your lyrics have always been socially and politically motivated. What molded or formed your social/political sensibilities?
Well, I grew up in Berkley and am basically left leaning, although I don'??t agree with everything about left-wing politics. I basically believe in human rights and social justice, but I'??m not really political. I'??m mainly into art. My personality is that much more of an artist than a political person. It'??s just that politics have a spirit of truth in them or saying something about the world has the spirit of truth in it and that makes for good art. Or you know, in more down to earth terms; it makes for good rock n'?? roll. So, that'??s just the best source for me to write good songs. And not all the songs are politically based but I find a spirit of truth in that subject matter.
How do you approach song writing? Do you carry a pen and pad around 24/7 or actually sit down with the intent to write a song'?¶'?¶?
I usually start with a guitar riff and then build lyrics on top of that. So you get a groove that doesn'??t necessarily have '?¶ it'??s not mental yet. And once you have the groove or the feeling, it builds from the feeling rather than a mental idea. So it'??s a very instinctual process and it'??s very natural. Then once you'??ve got a good riff and good little vocal pattern, then the words'?¶. I struggle for days and days and days to get the right words to it. It'??s a lot of work; I mean hours and hours of work. But, when it pays off (like when you get a good song), it'??s a great feeling so it'??s worth it.
In the past, the music surrounding your lyrics has often been reggae/ska inspired. I'??m interested to know where you came into contact with reggae/ska initially and who you hold as influences and possibly inspirations.
Definitely The Specials, when I was growing up I was listening to punk records but I was also listening to The Specials and English Beat and also a local band called The Uptones. They were from Berkley and were one of the first two-tone ska bands in America. People stage dived at their shows, I mean they were wild. And all of us in Op Ivy grew up seeing them, so they were a huge influence and they were definitely our predecessors. In fact, Rancid even covered an Uptones song.
Oh yeah, which one?
"Get Outta My Way", I believe it was on their first self-titled album.
Being that Op Ivy is widely regarded as one of the innovators of the ska-core sound that enveloped the 90'??s, I always wondered about your opinion about that trend. Did you take it as a compliment or did you feel like a plagiarized artist?
No. not at all. I mean I didn'??t feel we were plagiarized at all. I feel like we were at the right place at the right time. That whole thing that took place is much bigger than anything we did and it took on a life of its own. I just feel like I did my part in it and I take my hands off of it. I don'??t really feel like a predecessor. More like just sort of a link in a long chain. You know the Clash and the Uptones were doing it before us. There was a Spanish band that was doing it before us called Kortatu. Overall, I think it'??s a cool thing. It'??s really fun and young kids tend to like it. That'??s cool you know. I'??m not all that familiar with most of the bands but I dug Suicide Machines, Against All Authority and Leftover Crack is pretty raw. So from what I'??ve heard, there'??s some good stuff out there and I'??m happy to be a part of it.
You'??re back with your new band Classics of Love, which is a relatively new endeavor. For the unfamiliar world, can you give us some insight into the band?
We'??ve been playing together for about six months. Mike Park hooked us up, basically. I was doing solo stuff and I was talking to Mike and he was helping me record some demos and then I just asked him "do you know anyone who might want to play?" and he hooked me up with these guys The Hard Girls, which is the band I now play with. You know, they have their own band called The Hard Girls also.
How would you describe the sound of Classics of love? Is it stylistically similar to Common Rider or Op Ivy?
It'??s hard to define exactly because I really do it song by song and the songs are somewhat different from one another. But I would call it melodic punk rock with rock n'?? roll influences and thoughtful lyrics. I put a lot of effort into the lyrics and try to give them meaning; whether or not that'??s successful who ever listens to them can be the judge.
I know you cited one of the reasons for the demise of Common Rider as geographical constraints; I take it the members of Classics of Love are all relatively local to each other?
Yeah. It'??s really hard to find the perfect set up. There are always problems in bands. There are personalities, you often have drug and alcohol problems, you often have flake problems, you often have geography problems. You know it'??s difficult to get 4 people together (especially 4 young men, because young men are usually a big pain in the ass). But this time around I met some people who were local and that'??s part of the reason I'??ve really jumped into it, because it seems like a pretty solid set up.
After Op Ivy split up there was an extended hiatus before fans reconnected w/ Common Rider, instigating rumors that you had died, became a monk, a Mexican wrestler, etc. What were you up to in those days?
At times I was going to school, I did study Buddhism for a while but I wasn'??t really a monk. There was a lot of fucking up and drinking and stuff. I wasted a lot of years doing that; I wouldn'??t say wasted because I don'??t regret it, I learned from it. But a lot of bullshit, just this and that and living life. I just wasn'??t doing music; I didn'??t feel like it for some reason. I don'??t even know why I didn'??t. Life has cycles, you do nothing for a while and then you get active and right now I'??m active.
You'??ve had successful jaunts in two highly influential bands, and to a certain extent it'??s almost like you'??re starting over again, what keeps you coming back to the table?
Well, in a way the thing I wonder is what kept me away from the table. Like, why didn'??t I just do it? But I didn'??t, I just didn'??t feel it. But now I do. And basically what keeps me coming back is I just enjoy it. I love it. And also, the opportunity to just enjoy it, you know? Right now I'??m playing with people with good instincts and that are nice to play with. So that makes it really fun.
I read in an interview where you said you once waited outside a venue for two hours to meet Joe Strummer, how do you feel about the same attention being bestowed upon yourself by adoring fans?
Well, I try not to think about it in terms of attention or in terms of adulation or like being in a position higher than someone in the audience. The reason I don'??t think that way is because it makes me fucking nuts. So if someone comes up to me and tells me they like the music or that it meant something to them I just listen to what they have to say and I'??m grateful for it. But, I never think of myself in the third person, if you see what I'??m saying. That'??s when you start tripping and it'??s not healthy. I'??m just trying to stay down to earth.
Back in the '80s, America electing a black man as president was unfathomable, now it'??s become a reality. What is your reaction to the air of social change that we find ourselves in these days?
In America the government is based on, and this may seem simplistic, but the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Having a black president doesn'??t really change that. But, at the same time I think he'??s doing good things. To me it'??s not so much that he'??s black, although that'??s wonderful and it represents a big change. I don'??t think that could have happened in 1990, much less 1980 or 1970. What I do think is good is that he'??s doing some good things, regardless whether he is white or black or whatever. You know he released the "torture memos", that was courageous. And he'??s done other things where he has taken risks. I don'??t think he'??s perfect. I don'??t think having a good looking and articulate president is really going to change the status quo or the billionaires having way too much influence on things. But at the same time I voted for him and I think he'??s doing some good things.
Along the same lines of social change, what'??s your take on the gay marriage debate? I'??m for it. I have a lot of gay friends and to me it'??s like the only person who could possibly object to that would be a person who is religious. I'??ve never met a person who has objected to it on a nonreligious basis. I have a lot more problems with conservative religion than I do with anyone'??s sexual choices. I don'??t want to say anything against Christians or any other group but basically I think the institution of marriage based on a bible scripture written by someone who never even met Jesus is incorrect. I think it'??s a misreading of the very scriptures that they adhere to. And even though it'??s predominantly a Christian thing (to be against gay marriage), I have nothing against Christians. But, Jesus never talked about it and I don'??t think St. Paul is the same thing as Jesus. I don'??t want to get into a religious discussion, but to me the argument against gay marriage is ridiculous.
Let'??s lighten things up a bit before we end this thing: How'??s about one thing most people don'??t know about you?
I'??m really into metal. Some of my favorite bands are High on Fire, Black Sabbath and I dig Slayer… At the Gates'?¶ so I dig metal, that'??s one little thing.
I never would'??ve guessed. Punkers tend to get banged up for one reason or another over the years, what is your most gnarly scar and what'??s the story behind it?
Let'??s see'?¶.. What'??s my most gnarly scar that I can talk about publicly? Right now, I'??d say my gnarliest scars consist of burns all over my arms from being a cook. Right now they'??re starting to fade because I'??m on tour, which is like a vacation; but normally I'??m all burned up.
Is that what pays the bills?
Jesse: Yeah, That'??s my 9 to 5. I cook breakfast 4 days a week and dinner 1 day a week. I would cook dinner more because it'??s much more interesting but I have to practice you know. '?¶gotta go to band practice.
When you say breakfast you mean like bacon and eggs and that sort of thing?
Jesse: Bacon, eggs, potatoes, breakfast burritos, the standard breakfast. So that also might qualify as something people might not know. I know much more than any person should know about eggs.
I have an Op Ivy tattoo, I'??m just wondering if you have a "Big D" logo tattooed on you?
Yeah, I do but I can'??t show it to you it'??s in a weird place.
Whoa! I knew it!
No, I'??m just kidding.

I've got my Trek 4300 setup for road, with dropped and reversed stem for lower positioning, and true slicks (conti sport contacts). I'm also still on platforms. Some friends are doing relatively light DH/single trails next wkend, and I'd like to change my setup to suit, but on a budget.
First thing I need is tires, I'm going to go for something relatively cheap. I might need new tubes (contis come with thinner than normal presta tubes). I'll eventually get a complete new set of rims and good tires, but not for the moment if possible.
Do I really need to get clipped-in? I will do eventually, but it's not the best time financially, and I'm wondering whether I'll get enough time to get use to 'em.
If I do, there's a BS near me which deals in Specialized. I want to get some Specialized Rockhopper shoes. I'm choosing them as I need something I can wear at work, and they're pretty acceptable & have good reviews.
And for pedals, I'm thinking the entry-level Shimano MTB spds. Can't remember the model number, but they looked ok in reviews. Next year I can get some chrome egg-beaters or see what else is out there.
Do I need a new stem? When flipping it to get the better angle, I noticed that there was a warning label on it saying it shouldn't be used for DH/serious XC. Are they just covering a$$ with this, or should I be concerned about using this stem on DH? (it's a stock 4300 stem). I also plan to swap the stem back right way up before heading out. (less painful if I hit it for one thing)

Oklahoma's income tax cut proposals have Republicans battling themselves
Republicans who clawed for years to get control of Oklahoma's statehouse are fighting among themselves over cutting the state's top personal income tax rate.
A key part of the battle is over whether a cut should take place next year or should be postponed for another year.
House Minority Leader Scott Inman, D-Del City, recalling last year's impasse over cutting the personal income tax, said the disagreement on when a cut to the top personal income tax rate of 5.25 percent would take effect could spell doom for getting tax-cutting legislation passed this year.
"The state Senate Republicans, while they were supportive of a tax cut, did not want to cut income taxes last year and if you look at their bill this year … they don't want to cut income taxes this year either," Inman said. "With just a month and a half left and to be this far apart in how they cut it … that is significant. It really is in terms of whether they can get the sides to agree.
"Right now it doesn't look good for a tax cut," he said.
Sen. Tom Ivester, D-Sayre, said, "We are seeing political infighting among Republicans in the Senate, Republicans in the House and the governor's office affect our ability to make good public policy. We're being forced to debate political talking points — whether a tax cut should be implemented before or after an important election year in 2014, whether the rate should be at or just below 5 percent … Drama about what is politically expedient is overtaking our ability to do what is best for Oklahoma."
Republican legislative leaders, however, said they are determined to deliver an income-tax cut before the session is scheduled to end in late May.
"We have open dialogue with the governor and the speaker," said Senate President Pro Tem Brian Bingman, R-Sapulpa. "We've still got two months in session."
A mantra for decades
Cutting taxes has been a mantra the past 20 years for Republicans while their numbers gradually increased in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The GOP gained control of the House after the 2004 elections and the majority in the Senate after the 2008 elections. When Gov. Mary Fallin took office in January 2011, Republicans for the first time in Oklahoma history had a GOP governor while they controlled the House and Senate.
House Speaker T.W. Shannon and Fallin backed legislation this year calling for a cut in the personal income tax to take effect Jan. 1. House Bill 2032, authored by Shannon, R-Lawton, originally called for reducing the top rate to 5 percent; it would have been paid out of existing revenue.
A Senate committee last week scrapped their proposal and replaced it with language that delayed the cut from taking effect until Jan. 1, 2015. It also would reduce the top personal income tax rate from 5.25 percent to 4.95 percent, and end the practice of five popular economic tax credits from being sold to others who need to reduce their income tax liability to the state.
Democratic lawmakers oppose a cut of any kind, saying legislators need to first adequately fund key services such as education, roads, public safety and human services before cutting personal income taxes, the top revenue source for the state's coffers. Personal income taxes bring in about one-third of the state's legislatively appropriated budget. For this fiscal year, personal income taxes are estimated to bring in $2.1 billion of the $6.8 billion budget.
"This is simply not the year to cut the income tax," Inman said. "We need to invest in our core functions of government."
Senate Minority Leader Sean Burrage, D-Claremore, said the numbers behind rate decrease could be troubling.
"Senate Republican leadership says that the average Oklahoman could save $80 a year with this tax cut," Burrage said. "That's just $1.50 per week. But, when you add it all up, it means millions of dollars that could be used to restore funding cuts to our local schools, give our teachers or our Highway Patrol a raise, fix our roads and bridges, and restore our state Capitol, which is literally crumbling around us as we debate these bills."
Sen. Mike Mazzei, R-Tulsa, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, inserted the new language in House Bill 2032 three days after a House budget subcommittee voted down his measure to reduce the personal income tax.
His measure, Senate Bill 585, would have reduced the state income tax to 4.75 percent; some of its cost would have been offset by eliminating some exemptions and tax credits with the rest coming out of existing revenue. It would have taken effect Jan. 1, 2015.
Shannon said a House budget subcommittee rejected Mazzei's bill because it would have raised taxes on some taxpayers.
'Tax relief now'
Shannon said House Republicans favor a tax cut taking effect Jan. 1.
"We need to provide tax relief now, not delay it another year," he said. "I know the Senate is committed to working together on this and I'm confident between the governor's office and Pro Tem Bingman we'll have a really comprehensive tax cut bill."
Asked if the Senate would insist on a tax cut not taking effect until 2015, Bingman said, "We're trying to look at various ways to make sure we can pay for it and being responsible when we look at tax cuts."
Proponents of a personal income tax cut fear the rejection of both bills this year could derail efforts to get a personal income tax cut for the second year in a row. Five bills were considered last year; lobbyists contested them to protect tax credits identified as targets for elimination.
The Senate in the last days of the session came up with an alternative plan, but it ran in trouble when it was determined some middle-class families would have to pay more in income taxes. The House came up with another plan that the Senate didn't like. The session ended with the Senate not taking up the House bill and the House not hearing the Senate plan.
Input from lobbyists?
If an agreement can be reached on when an income-tax cut should take effect, HB 2032 still faces being opposed by lobbyists working for companies affected by the legislation. It calls for eliminating the ability of those receiving economic credits for coal mining, wind power, rehabilitating historic buildings, energy-efficient construction and railroad modernization to sell them. Instead, they would be allowed to get a refund of 80 cents on the dollar on the tax credits they couldn't use.
When companies receive more credits than they owe in state taxes, they use the transferability feature, which allows them to sell their surplus credits to other corporations, usually insurance companies, or individuals, usually for about 80 cents on the dollar. The buyers use the credits to reduce their own tax bills.
"Any bill as it's currently fashioned may find an uphill battle with the lobbyists out here," Inman said.

GEAR UP, TRIO Officials Mobilize Support to Save College-Access Programs
Powell, Tracie, Black Issues in Higher Education
With an older brother in prison and a father he hardly knew, the most Ronnie Rice had hoped for was a spot in the military or a job at one of the factories in his hometown of Mobile, Ala. For this borderline high-school student, college wasn't really a consideration.
"If it weren't for Upward Bound, I'd be working at the air-conditioning plant," says Rice, who participated in Upward Bound's Math/Science program while in high school. Now a sophomore psychology major at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Rice is among a coalition of alumni fighting to save federally funded college and career preparatory programs like the one that showed him the importance of an education.
President George W. Bush's proposed 2006 budget calls for the elimination of 48 education programs, including Upward Bound and Talent Search, two programs that for nearly 40 years have helped low-income students prepare for college. Also slated for elimination are GEAR UP, an early college awareness program that usually begins in middle school, and the Carl D. Perkins Act, a $1.3 billion federal program for career and technical education.
The Bush administration questions the programs' effectiveness in steering student-participants to college. Officials also say the cuts will help eliminate duplication of services.
Created by the Higher Education Act of 1965, Upward Bound, Talent Search and four other programs were created to give disadvantaged students necessary tutoring in high school and access to higher education. Over the years, the programs have faced down the budget-cutting ax.
"This isn't the first time we've had to fight back attempts to cut these programs," says U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah, D-Pa. Fattah says he's successfully mobilizing bipartisan support to fight the cuts and notes that the latest assault upon the programs is likely to fail.
Adding that he anticipates Bush will come after the programs again, Fattah rebuffs assertions that the programs may be duplicative and wasteful. "Those statements simply don't deal with the facts," said Fattah, explaining that Upward Bound provides intensive assistance to select high-school students, while GEAR UP--a program which he helped create--works with larger groups of students at the middle-school level.
"These programs, both Upward Bound and GEAR UP, as well as the others, provide important access for our young people to go to college. Many congressional leaders, Republicans and Democrats, know this," Fattah says.
But while Fattah says he is optimistic about beating back attempts to do away with the educational programs, other supporters said this time is different.
"There is something insidiously different this time," says Dr. Arnold Mitchem, president of the Council for Opportunity in Education, which is organizing national opposition to the cuts. …

Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on May 21, 2013.
First created | 2 backed
A couple of years ago I unearthed my old LEGO bricks from my parents' attic to give to my two young sons, but I didn't fully realize just how many happy memories of building would surface from my childhood as I watch them build.
This is my tribute to the toy that inspired me, and continues to inspire my children.
Cast as 8 pieces of solid .925 stirling silver, this kinetic sculpture came about as a combination of my experience with 3D printing, my obsession with the permanence of metal, and my healthy addiction to LEGO®.
I've taken this project as far as I can on my own, but now I need your help to fund the mold creation and the first run of full metal, fully functional minifigures. When this project is fully funded, I will have an inventory set up and be able to offer this kinetic sculpture on a continual basis.
"Be sure not to step on any LEGOs as you run over to Kickstarter to get in on the project before it closes." Paul from Technabob
"...but divide that hunk of sterling into 8 separate pieces, and then rejoin them as fully moveable and poseable parts, and suddenly the possibilities are nearly limitless" - dude I want that.com full article
"These would make great collector pieces" - KixBlogger
These rewards will be unlocked at $25,000 - see update #2 above for details. I'm not planning on producing more of the bronze Metalfigs after this project is over, so now is your chance!
Here was my process for designing and making this piece: the LEGO group was contacted to see what they thought of my idea, and then an original minifigure was reverse-engineered in a CAD program, and all of the joints were modified to allow for assembly as well as full range of movement, including the hands. (Fun fact: The original minifigure relies on the elastic deformation of the ABS plastic for assembly. As older figures age, they will develop cracks along the bottom of the arms and the sides of the torsos from repeated expansion.) Since the fitment relies on friction alone, each figure will come with permanently attached heads and torsos.
Being that I couldn't rely on deforming the metal, I had to come up with a different way to assemble the figure - I briefly entertained the notion of heating one part while cooling the other, causing one to expand and the other to contract, but after I saw the temperature difference needed (~3000°F!), I figured I would save my poor extremities and come up with a different plan.
While working on something completely different, my subconscious mind came up with a solution - I found the smallest retaining rings I have ever seen and 3D printed a tool to hold and insert them. You can see them below, along with a US quarter for scale.
I then scaled all of the pieces to account for shrinkage after casting (Silver ends up shrinking around 1-2%, depending on the process). With the design squared away, I began looking for a reliable lost wax casting company that could work with my many requirements. A few scoffed at the tolerances involved and others couldn't deliver the surface quality that I was looking for from a 3D print. Luckily, I found a US based business that was able to deliver on all accounts. A few weeks later, I received the final pieces in the mail, and after I assembled them, my boys helped me set up a little photo shoot.
I was pleasantly surprised by the little guy's heft - but I should have expected it since sterling silver is 10x as dense as ABS plastic.
This project will succeed if it can get in front of the right audience, and I need your help in sending it around the world. Please click the like button on my video above, and then:
So what can you get out of this? Well I'm glad you asked.
Everyone who supports at the 1st level will get a link to a high resolution digital drawing that follows the style of the old patent drawings. I can also include the vectorized format for your personal use. You'll have access to backer only updates and your name will also be forever enshrined on my site for all to see. This will be set at a low level, so please spread the word!
For the second tier rewards, you will receive an 8"x10" high quality photo print of either A - "Meet the Family", B - "On a walk", or C - "Standing Sentinel". There will be no watermarks on the prints, and I'll take the time to write a personal thank you note on the back.
For the lucky third tier supporters, I will send you a set of 1/3 scale minifigure earrings in a quality earring box. Elegant, yet playful at the same time.
A custom display case with a flush mounted 2x4 brick. #1 would be painted black in mdf, while #2 would be an exotic wood chosen by the backers hand polished to a high sheen. Both will have a thick polystyrene cover. If desired, a larger (or smaller) brick could be used instead of a 2x4. This reward can be added on to your existing order by upping your pledge amount.
The 4th tier will be a single solid casting of a 2/3 scale (1" tall) minifigure in .925 sterling silver (This will not be movable). It will come with two jump rings to attach to just about anything - use both to use on a necklace, or one to put on a keychain. Will be shipped in a quality pendant box.
The 5th tier supporters will receive a full scale, one piece minifigure in .925 sterling silver (Will not be movable). This will be compatible with standard bricks, and will ship in a quality container that can also be used for storage.
For you superb 6th tier supporters, you will be some of the lucky few to have a full metal, fully pose-able minifigure in your possession. Included are a posing brick, and a high quality container that can also be used for storage. Show off at work, impress your friends, and pass it down to your grandkids.
Ready to get serious? The exclusive 7th tier supporters will receive a fully pose-able, solid gold minifigure, lovingly polished. This would be available in 14kt yellow, white, rose, or green gold. I will also include a posing brick and a quality container that can easily double as storage. Gold bars are boring and lifeless, get a gold minifigure instead!
Did you think the last tier was exclusive? Well forget about that, because there will be one of these made. The singular 8th tier supporter will be the proud owner of the only Platinum minifigure in existence. Included will be a minifigure posing brick, a quality container for storage, and the envy of the other 6 billion members of Earth.
New to Kickstarter? There is an official rundown of the process here.
Designed and Made in the USA.
LEGO® , the LEGO® logo, the Minifigure, and the Brick and Knob configurations are trademarks of The LEGO Group which is not overseeing, involved with, or responsible for this product.
Since the design and process are proven, the only major risks are on the logistics side. Should the demand be higher than I'm currently equipped for, then I will tap into the reliable partners I have waiting in the wings - most of them are certified experts in lean processes, so we'll be sure you get what you ordered at the right time. At the very worst, I would implement a batch system to get most of the orders out the door on time.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
I wish - my tribute is not licensed or involved with LEGO.
I contacted the LEGO group before I began this project, and they had no problem with me selling metal minifigures, in fact they thought it was creative. Their constraints were that I couldn't use the LEGO logo or infer that they endorsed the metalfig.
I think this happened because of 3 reasons. 1 - I'm not marketing this as a toy, but as art. 2 - The material and how the joints are assembled are completely different. 3 - This is a small production run.
If you want to add earrings to your pledge (or any other reward for that matter), then add the lower reward dollar amount to your current pledge. For example, if you wanted both the full size minifigure ($475) and a pair of earrings ($70), you would submit your pledge for the full size and add the $70 to that. Shipping would only apply once.

"Visit Mont Dol" Dol-de-Bretagne Off The Beaten Path Tip by hquittner
Dol-de-Bretagne Off The Beaten Path: 3 reviews and 7 photos
The Dol Mound is 200 feet high and is about 4 km from Dol de Bretagne. The narrow road is safe and will allow a car to pass in either direction. You easily ascend to the end of the road near a monument (Notre Dame de l'Esperance) which is a bell-tower for the little church of Mont Dol nearby. The tower was originally a semaphor (built in 1802). A little climb leads to a rocky plateau with spurs projecting in various angles. There are fine views and the footing is easy. On good days Mont St.-Michel can be seen east as well as many places west. All around are the Dol marshes (marais) that have been recently much reclaimed and have productive farms. A farmstead nearby has an old windmill from the first attempts to use alternate energy long ago. To the north toward Vivier-sur-Mer and the coast there is more marsh. The rocks on the Mont give mythical evidences of the Great Battle between St.-Michel and Satan (See Our Customs Tip under Bretagne) which requires a diagram and imagination to discover (the sites are not marked;try it).

South Central Rain (I'm Sorry)
Did you never call? I waited for your call.
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away.
The trees will bend, the cities wash away
The city on the river there is a girl without a dream.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Eastern to Mountain, third party call, the lines are down
The wise man built his words upon the rocks
But I'm not bound to follow suit.
The trees will bend, the conversation's dimmed.
Go build yourself another home, this choice isn't mine.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Did you never call? I waited for your call
These rivers of suggestion are driving me away.
The ocean sang, the conversation's dimmed
Go build yourself another dream, this choice isn't mine.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

The City of Missoula says a fight that could take years and cost millions will be worth it, if taxpayers can own the city's sole source of water.
Mountain Water is owned by the private investment firm the Carlyle Group.
Wednesday, city officials filed a complaint against Mountain Water to condemn the company through eminent domain. The move is not unexpected and comes after the city made several offers to purchase Mountain Water from Carlyle.
Carlyle turned down the city's last offer for $65 million.
Now, Mayor John Engen says the city has no option but to seize control by force and he says the risk is well worth the cost.
"We believe we are risking dollars we can recover for a reward that is pretty dramatic," Engen says.
Estimates are the city's legal fees could top $800,000 and that's if the city loses the condemnation fight. If it wins, acquisition costs would be at least $4 million, on top of the court-determined price for Mountain Water.
And, if you think a buyout means lower water rates, think again.
"The reality," Engen says, "is those rates will go up. What I believe is, our rates will go up more slowly."
The mayor promises that money will be reinvested in Mountain Water instead of spent appeasing foreign investors.
"Having a company that's owned by investors from around the globe, with much different interests from the folks who live and work here, is scary to me, frankly," says Engen.
In the best-case scenario, Engen says Carlyle will reconsider and sell.
We're told the city will now put engineers into the field to provide a detailed assessment of Mountain Water's infrastructure.
Engen says if the city wins, Mountain Water employees will keep their jobs and their salaries.

Call it the Scandal effect. Or the Homeland effect. Or the Veep effect. Or the Parks and Recreation effect.
There's no denying that "women leaders in government" is a TV trend right now. Katherine Heigl even combined two of the shows above, Scandal and Homeland, for her comeback vehicle, NBC's State of Affairs.
Women might get two more opportunities to prove their small-screen patriotism this fall. Joining Veep's Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Scandal's Kate Burton in the VP chair will be Sharon Stone, who will star as Madame Vice President Natalie Maccabee in TBS's pilot Agent X. The series has a "National Treasure meets The Bourne Identity" cast of characters and will include a mysterious and dangerous "Agent X."
The Hollywood Reporter describes the show as centering "on an unseen person who works to protect the country and its citizens from all manner of threats by any means necessary in times of extreme crisis when traditional law and government aren't in a position to help. Created by the original Founding Fathers but hidden from the view of the public, there is an agent of unknown identity that is trained and ready to serve -- deployed only at the careful discretion of the vice president."
On the network side of things, CBS is considering Madame Secretary, a drama created by Homeland writer Barbara Hall. The series looks much less high-concept than Stone's vehicle, focusing instead on the "personal and professional life of a maverick female Secretary of State as she drives international diplomacy, wrangles office politics and balances a complex family life," according to THR. No star has been announced.

Welcome Glimercat! In addition to joining in discussions around the community I suggest you also join your Due Date Club here at Mothering so you can get to know the other Mothering moms who are due the same month as you. They offer you support and share their experiences through their pregnancy and birth. Also, we throw a baby shower for each due date club. Lots of fun!
