Jeff Zornow (ZORNOW MUST BE DESTROYED!) is a Comic Book artist and Illustrator, who also works in underground metal/punk art, and creates lots of art for the Horror genre.
Working professionally since 2005, Zornow is best known for his Horror T-shirt designs at FRIGHT-RAGS.com as well as Cover and fill-in artist for GODZILLA:RULERS OF EARTH at IDW publishing, and the '68:Jungle Jim and '68:RULE OF WAR zombie/Vietnam war series from Image comics. I had the privilege of interviewing this great artist about his career.
Michael Garone: So tell me how you got started as an artist? Who inspired you?
Jeff Zornow: Boredom inspired me at first when I was 6 or 7 yrs. old in school. I wanted to watch Godzilla or the cartoons I loved at the time. So, I took to drawing the characters during class to entertain myself. My first grade teacher scolded me for not paying attention, but then admitted my Road Runner was pretty good and asked "Do you want to be an artist when you grow up?"
I then realized an artist was actually a thing… and I said "YES!" from that moment on. I've dedicated myself to being an artist. Specifically a comic artist, but over the years I have also evolved into a full-fledged Illustrator.
After High school, I took two years off to party, work at a car wash, play in a band and then incidentally started getting some work published in G-FAN (the Godzilla Fanzine) which lead me to write and draw my own Giant Superhero/Daikaiju comic DIMENSION FIGHTER for 4 issues of MONNGA: the manga of monsters and fantasy (from the same publishers of G-Fan). Then decided it was time to take my life and art serious and moved to NYC. Attended The School of Visual Arts Illustration/Cartooning program from 1995-99 where I learned from great comic artists such as Joe Orlando, Carmine Infantino, Gene Colan, Klaus Janson, Walt Simonson, Sal Amendola and Mort Todd. Also, got to intern at Marvel and DC comics while there which was eye opening and a great crash course on how the industry works.
MG: What was the first comic you read\purchased?
JZ: WEB OF SPIDER-MAN #17 drawn by Marc Silvestri. I bought it because Spidey reminded me of Ultraman who had not been on TV for several years at that point.
Took it home, read it and was INSTANTLY hooked on Spidey. And then instead of wanting to draw newspaper strips I wanted to draw comic books! I was about 11 or 12 at this point. And was also already becoming a hardcore 80's splatterpunk kid. Renting every gory horror I could from the local Video store, and collecting Fangoria & Gorezone magazines.
MG: First gig as an artist? What did you draw? Was it a tough job or does all your art come easy to you?
JZ: First major paid gig in comics was VAMPIRELLA! A 10 pg. short story that I penciled and inked (was also great to debut inking myself!) It was a fun job but I definitely put a lot of hours into that first gig.
MG: Name one character you have drawn that you connected with the most?
JZ: Godzilla or any version of the Wolfman/Werewolf and Incredible Hulk because I have epilepsy which is a neurological brain disorder that causes seizures and something that can be triggered by stress, lights, physical exertion, etc. Developed Epilepsy when I was 11. So, I feel like I have a legit monster in my brain which sometimes takes over my body and there is nothing I can do about it.
MG: Who of all the characters you have ever drawn is your favorite? Why?
JZ: GODZILLA…because he's my favorite. I can't explain my obsessive love for Godzilla because how I got into it goes back further than my memory allows (and I remember stuff from when I was 2) so it happened before that… somehow. I just always have known I love Godzilla over all other characters.
MG: Who or what character that you have loved to draw on your spare time but were never published? Such as a Spider-Man or Superman.
JZ: Ultraman, Gatchaman, Spider-Man, Incredible Hulk.
MG: Favorite Godzilla film? Why?
JZ: Either GODZILLA vs GIGAN (1972) because it is about a comic/manga artist teaming up with some hippies and Godzilla to rid the planet of alien cockroaches that control King Ghidorah and Gigan one of my favorite Daikaiju. And TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA (1975) because that one is such a hauntingly cool Godzilla film.
MG: Favorite version of Godzilla in his 60 year history? Not the suit version but the attitude he portrayed in the film. Such as his ruthlessness in GMK 2001 or his heroics in the 1970's films.
JZ: I sort of take Godzilla as the total package. There isn't a version I don't like (though the '98 GINO doesn't count) But, overall I do love the 70's period the most.
MG: What is most challenging when you draw Kaiju for IDW's Godzilla series?
JZ: Making sure I don't miss small details. MAN! Taking on this project I've found more little details in the monsters that I've never noticed before watching all the movies, collecting toys and books etc. I'm Still discovering new things about these creatures which is cool.
MG: Any future projects that you can reveal and discuss now?
JZ: Well as of writing this I'm drawing most of GODZILLA: RULERS OF EARTH #17 and will follow that up with the variant cover for GODZILLA: RULERS OF EARTH #19. There is more '68ZOMBIE comics in my future. Definitely some more Metal/Punk art coming down the tube and working with the MISFITS right now for something this Halloween season!
MG: Thanks Jeff!

- 900g russett
or mashing potatoes
- 1 ½ cups plain
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 large egg –
lightly beaten
- 400g can
chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 small onion,
finely chopped
- 2 garlic
cloves, finely chopped
- 1 sprig thyme
- Pinch of
crushed chilli powder
-Mesclun lettuce
Place all pasta
sauce ingredients in a pan, combine them together and then leave the sauce to
simmer, stirring occasionally, until
it begins to thicken up.
1.First you need to cook the potatoes.Pierce the skin a few times with a fork, then
bake in the oven at 200g for about 45 minutes, or if you're short on time you
can microwave them for five minutes.Don't boil them, because you need the potato to be as dry as possible
for good gnocchi.
2.Once the potatoes are cooked, allow them to
cool completely.
3.Cut each potato in half, then scoop out all
the flesh from the skin with a spoon.Then you need to push all of the potato flesh through a sieve. This is a bit trickier than mashing the
potato, but it's best to do it this way because it makes the potato nice and
airy which makes for perfect gnocchi.
4.Once all the potato flesh has been pushed
through the sieve, add the lightly beaten egg and the salt to the potato and
mix it all together.
5.Start adding the flour, just a little at a
time.Add small amounts of flour, mix it
in, and add a bit more – keep going until you get to the stage where the dough
won't stick to your hands.You may not
need to use all of the flour.
6.Next, you need to knead out the dough.Bring the dough together with your finger
tips and knead it out over a very clean, floured bench for about 3 – 4 minutes.
7.Divide your dough into six pieces and roll
each piece out into a long snake shape about 1 ½ cm thick.Then chop your dough snakes into 2cm
pieces.You can cook your gnocchi just
like this, but gnocchi traditionally has little ridges on it which helps grab
onto your pasta sauce.You can achieve
this by rolling each piece of gnocchi along the back of a fork – the fork
prongs will create the ridges.
8.To cook the gnocchi, have your water at a
gentle simmer rather than a boil –
if there are too many bubbles in the water it might break your gnocchi
apart.Cook the gnocchi in batches.When the gnocchi rises to the top of the
water, leave them in there for an extra 30 seconds, then remove them from the
water with a slotted spoon and carefully place the next batch into the water,
until all of your gnocchi is cooked.Grab an oldie to help you out here.
your gnocchi on a bed of mesclun lettuce, topped with pasta sauce.

WASHINGTON (May 31, 2011)--President Barack Obama will award the Medal of Honor to Army Sgt. 1st Class Leroy Arthur Petry, 31, of Santa Fe N.M. for courage on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
The White House said Tuesday Petry will receive the nation's highest military decoration in a ceremony on July 12 for courageous actions during combat operations against an armed enemy in May 2008 the eastern Afghan province of Paktia.
Petry, who, is currently assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment, lost his right hand and suffered other wounds after he threw a live grenade away from other soldiers.
At the time, Petry was serving with Company A, 2nd Bn., 75th Ranger Regiment from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash
The White House said Petry will be the second living, active-duty service member to receive a Medal of Honor for actions in the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.
Last year, Mr. Obama awarded a Medal of honor to Staff Sgt. Sal Giunta, also for actions in Afghanistan.

LAWRENCE, KS -- The University of Iowa baseball team lost to Kansas, 8-4, Saturday afternoon at Hoglund Ballpark. Despite knocking out ten hits, the Hawkeye offense came up short in the loss.
Iowa starter Zach Robertson got the loss, going three and one-third innings. Right-hander Zach Kenyon provided four and two-third innings of solid relief for the Hawkeyes. Kenyon allowed only one run on four hits with three strikeouts.
Six players recorded a base hit, and four different Hawkeyes drove in a run. Mike McQuillan, Trevor Willis, Mike Corbeil and Sean Flanagan all knocked in a run each. Kurtis Muller recorded his 19th straight game with a hit, dating back to last season. He went 2-for-4 with a double. Tyson Blaser went 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a double.
Kansas (6-3) took an early 2-0 lead in the first, taking advantage of two Iowa errors. The Jayhawks never trailed plating three in the third, two in the fourth and one in the eighth. Leading the Kansas offense was senior Brett Lisher. The five-hole hitter went 4-for-5 with a run scored, a double and three RBI.
Iowa (4-4) recorded its first run in the third, to trail 2-1. Kurt Lee singled to short, stole second and advanced to third on a Muller infield single. He scored on a McQuillan single to center.
The Hawkeyes added another run in the fourth, to trail 5-2. The inning featured a Blaser leadoff single and Willis RBI groundout.
The Black and Gold plated two in the eighth. Dallas Burke led off with a single and advanced to third on a Blaser double to right. Pinch hitter Flanagan drove one in with a sacrifice fly and pinch hitter Corbeil picked up his second RBI of the season. Iowa's offense fizzled in the ninth--the inning featured two walks and two left on base.
Iowa will conclude its four-game series against the Jayhawks tomorrow. First pitched is set for 1 p.m.
GAME SUMMARY IOWA 001 100 020 - 4 10 2 KANSAS 203 200 01x - 8 10 1

After Romney's trifecta today, the calls for Santorum to drop out are becoming stentorian. Should Santorum drop out of the race?
It's his call. He is the candidate. He has to make that decision. But let's look at what he has to be concerned about.

Both Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are now effectively out of the race for the GOP nomination. But they stay in the race, for the sole purpose of attempting to deny Romney the nomination.

It's effectively "Game Over."
The numbers tell the story.
After today's vote (March 10), baring a cataclysmic change in the principles of mathematics, there are just not enough delegates left for any candidate but Romney to win the GOP nomination. Oh sure, "technically," Santorum or Gingrich "could" pull off a miracle. But the numbers are so overwhelming that it really would take a miracle.
Consider that after today, there 30 more contests yet to be held, representing a…Continue

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Small Fruits & Berries
Market Gardener (page 3 of 3)
by George Thabault
Keep it Simple
Don't try to do too much at first. We discovered it was hard to sell both flowers and vegetables. We tried tricky crops like lisianthus, which failed in our unheated "hoop" greenhouse. Most of our celosia fell victim to damping off, and the larkspur and other flowers were late. Statice, even the newer pastel colors, sells better after Labor Day (as garden flowers become scarce, perhaps-- ), but ours bloomed in July. After a few frustrating weeks of selling both blooms and veggies, we decided to stick to veggies and offered only a few bouquets.
Weigh the Costs and the Benefits
Our market space was 7 feet long; a permit to sell there for 26 Saturdays cost $120. Market hours are 8:30 am to 2 pm. We missed about eight or nine weeks, some because of rain, other times because we didn't have enough produce, or the family had other plans. We grossed about $2,700 with a one-week high of $210. We learned that a carpenter's nail pouch full of cold cash feels great. Our expenses for seeds and seed-starting materials were about $1,200. Our goal was to pay our town property taxes of $2,100. With some start-up costs already paid, we'll probably hit that goal next year.

Gateshead 2-2 Braintree Town
Two goals in injury time brought a largely mundane cup-tie to life, Gateshead ultimately suffering last gasp heartbreak.
The game looked set to finish 1-1 when Jamie Chandler, signed from Darlington the day before, forced home what should have been the winner.
Chandler's close range tap-in came in the first of two minutes of extra-time but the Iron still had time to force a replay in Essex on Tuesday.
As Gateshead switched off Aswad Thomas swung in a ball from the left that saw unmarked captain Kenny Davis head superbly into the far corner from 12 yards.
It was an explosive end to a disappointing tie on a cold day on Tyneside with the pitch very firm.
Three of the four goals were indicative of a scrappy game which Gateshead dominated in terms of possession.
The Tynesiders, however, were unable to get anywhere near the heights of Tuesday's impressive win over Kidderminster.
The opening goal on 15 minutes was a fortuitous one as Jon Shaw looked to be offside and then had a huge slice of good fortune.
His close range shot was blocked by Nathan McDonald only for the ball to ricochet over the line off Shaw's legs.
Craig Baxter, played in by Chris Moore, shot just past the angle from inside the box and then Josh Gillies got behind the Town defence.
The young winger's pull back from the byline was cleared by Matt Paine straight to Sam Rents whose goalbound shot was superbly blocked by Paine.
Braintree's first effort at goal came ten minutes from the interval and manager Alan Devonshire made a double substitution reverting to a 4-4-2 formation.
Phil Turnbull struck a 25-yard shot over the bar and a Yemi Odubade shot on the turn was comfortably saved by McDonald.
Odubade then put in strike partner Shaw whose shot was saved at the second attempt.
Braintree were level three minutes from half-time when Sean Marks dragged the ball past Tim Deasy from near the byline and sub Jai Reason scored from close range.
Micky Cummins' near post flick from Gillies cross was held by McDonald after the break and Adam Bailey-Dennis volleyed over after Deasy had flapped at Ben Wright cross.
Gillies' ball into Shaw near half way saw the front man's flick send Odubade racing clear but, under pressure from Dean Wells, the former Oxford man shot well wide.
Cummins headed over from a Rents free kick before Shaw had to limp off due to a recurrence of a groin injury.
A low key tie continued to meander along though sub James Marwood found Odubade whose angled shot flew wide of the far post.
Braintree had created little but a slide rule pass from Paine saw Davis twist and turn in the box but his shot was dealt with by Deasy.
Odubade's headed flick on to a cross from the right gave Cummins a chance but the midfielder failed to react, Chandler's follow up blocked.
Thomas blazed over from 16 yards at the other end and then Turnbull was horribly wide from distance.
The lively Chandler looked to have won it in the 88th minute when he showed his marker a clean pair of heels from Odubade's flick.
His powerful angled drive, however, hit the underside of McDonald and whistled past the far post.
That appeared to be that until Chandler prodded home only for Davis's header to ensure both clubs are in Monday's 3rd round draw.

College Hockey:Buffalo State Rallies To Tie Brockport
Hill Nets Six-On-Four Goal To Force Draw
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Two years ago, Brockport and Buffalo State were the only two teams that did not make the SUNYAC playoffs. This year, they met in a battle for third place. After a wild finish with a slew of penalties and two-man advantage power plays down the stretch and in overtime, nothing was settled. The game ended in a 4-4 tie in Buffalo.
"All points are crucial." Brockport coach Brian Dickinson said after his team blew a 4-2 lead, but with the tie, remains one point ahead of the Bengals.
With under five minutes to go, Anthony Lecesse and John Gleason took successive hooking penalties. Gleason also got a 10-minute misconduct for acting out the play to show the ref he didn't do anything.
Dickinson wasn't happy with the call either: "I thought the call on John Gleason was ridiculous. Two strong guys battling for the puck and two guys sticks go up, and we get the penalty for that."
At one point during the 5×3 power play, Buffalo State had an open net as Todd Sheridan was caught out. However, a defender got in the way at the last second to stop the goal.
It turned out that gallant play was for naught as Buffalo State did end up scoring the goal. Joe Curry found the back of the net as the Bengals pressure was just too much for Brockport to handle. The goal came with 3:18 left.
Brockport still had an opportunity to hang onto the win, but then they committed the ultimate sin down the stretch — a penalty for too many men on the ice.
With their goalie pulled, Buffalo State once again had two extra skaters, and once again they took advantage of it. Both teams congregated along the left boards fighting for the loose puck. Finally, it came loose and sent across the ice to a wide open Jeff Mok at the right point. He quickly skated in a bit and let loose a slapshot. Jason Hill came out of that scramble along the boards and got to the front of the net in time to deflect it in. With 27 seconds left, the game was tied.
"We didn't do a good job of tying up the front and allow them not to get to the puck, and they were able to get guys to the front, and get the slapshots and deflect some in," Dickinson said.
"We try to play a pretty simple game plan," Buffalo State coach Nick Carriere said. "We try to get pucks to the net. Crash it. Create traffic."
"It was frustrating that we couldn't finish it off," Dickinson said. When we were up 4-2, I thought we were in total control of the game. Unfortunately, penalties caught up to us. When you give a team that has guys that they have, you're giving them chances to get it in. We have to continue to work hard and not put us in a position where the officials can make calls against us."
The Golden Eagles did have a golden opportunity in overtime when Buffalo State committed two successive penalties — Travis Whitehead for hooking and Dennis Sicard for tripping. However, despite some close calls, the Bengals defended the power play according to plan and hung on for the tie.
"We try to give them shots on the outside and take away everything on the backdoor and take away any kind passing option and allow them to shoot from the outside," Carriere said of his penalty kill.
"It would have been nice to get one in on the last power play, but a point on the road, we'll take it," Dickinson said.
Brockport got the 4-2 lead with an early third period goal. Geoff Schweikhard, after multiple efforts, finally knocked the puck past Sean Sheehan from a scramble in front.
Brockport never fell behind and twice had two-goal leads. They initially took the lead in the first period on a power play. Sheehan made an excellent save through a screen on a Chris Koras shot from the point. However, the rebound went right out to the slot area. With a defender draped all over him, Gordon Pritchard was still able to take a turnaround shot that stayed on the ice and nicked the post on it's way in.
Buffalo State tied it late in the first on a shot that also nicked the post on the way in. D'Arcy Thomas put it in from a close range scramble.
Brockport took the lead again midway through the second period after initially missing a chance when they smacked the post. After a Buffalo State giveaway, Tim Crowley went in on a breakaway right up the middle. He made three moves before finally backhanding it over Sheehan. Shortly afterwards, Brockport again hit the post.
Penalties continued to be called throughout the game. In total, each team took 14 minor penalties. Buffalo State went 3 for 11 on the power play with Brockport 2 for 12.
"We took a lot of penalties," Dickinson said. "Some frustrating penalties. Some lazy penalties."
"The stick penalties are what burn me," Carriere said. "Those are due to lack of effort."
The Golden Eagles took their first two-goal lead with a two-man advantage, though technically the first penalty expired just as the puck went into the net. This caused Brockport to lose the second power play as well.
The goal was scored thanks to some nice puck movement, taking advantage of the undefended ice, forcing the Buffalo State defense to chase the puck. Steve Seedhouse scored on an easy one-timer from the backdoor.
Buffalo State got one of the goals back late in the period on, what else, a power play. Again, off a scramble in front with lots of opportunities and lots of saves by Todd Sheridan, Hill finally put it in.
One of the Bengals' top players, Jason Hill scored two goals and one assist, but also got three penalties, two of which resulted in Brockport goals. Nonetheless, he was the first star of the game.
"He's a skilled hockey player," Carriere said. "We have to keep reinforcing that if the penalties he's taking are lazy stick penalties then we have to address that. If their effort type penalties, like a charge or late hit, then I have no problem."
Sheehan made 31 saves, and Sheridan made 25 saves.
With Fredonia beating Geneseo, the Blue Devils are now tied with Brockport for third place as they face off next at Fredonia. Thus, once again, Brockport (2-2-2,4-6-3) gets to play for third place, and an opportunity to move into a tie for second place.
That will be determined when Buffalo State (2-3-1,3-7-1) hosts Geneseo. Buffalo State could wind up anywhere from third to seventh place when the night is out.

Shep Smith and Fox Nation Split on Obama's Gay Marriage Announcement
Fair and balanced?
Upon the occassion of President Obama's gay marriage news-making today, the always reasonable Fox Nation essentially put out a call to arms, declaring in an all-caps headline, "OBAMA FLIP FLOPS, DECLARES WAR ON MARRIAGE." But so much for brand unity, because Fox News anchor Shep Smith was not shy on-air about his agreement with the president's stated belief that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry. "The president of the United States, now in the 21st century," Smith said dryly after airing Obama's historic announcement. He then asked Fox host Bret Baier, with some attitude, if the Republicans would dare make marriage equality a campaign issue "while sitting very firmly, without much question, on the wrong side of history on it."
Baier responded soberly, "I don't know about that, Shep," pointing to close opinion polls and state referendums banning same-sex unions. Smith went on to note that Obama's position "makes no legal change for now, which may sound familiar to a couple of generations ago, but that's where we are," while Fox Nation pretty quickly changed their headline to remove the "WAR ON MARRIAGE" part, and leave it at a "flip flop." Progress.

The horror genre continues to bring some of the most interesting takes on the genre. When you think of a slaher film, one of the last things you think of is musical, but that is exactly what the latest film Stage Fright is bringing to the mix. While it has Minnie Driver in a small role and Meat Loaf in the cast it sticks to the usual lesser knowns, but does it manage to bring something new and different to the genre or will it miss the note all together?
Stage Fright follows a snobby musical theater camp that is terrorized by a blood-thirsty killer who hates musical theater. This is one of those films that tries something new out and is hit and miss. It will likely work for some just due to the quirkiness of it all. Make no mistake, this is a full on musical with numerous musical numbers throughout but with most of them being pretty funny manage to make it entertaining. The slasher side of the story is pretty generic with the usual clichéd storyline, but works well keeping you guessing as to who might be the killer. One of the most important things about a slasher film is a good killer and they have a fun one here. The performances were actually better than most you get out of this genre, but still nothing that will be tearing up the industry. A lot of the movie is just plain silly, but you can let some of that go thanks to them pulling no punches with the kills and letting the blood flow and showcasing gore a plenty. At times it is almost like two films are running side by side with the musical teen comedy on one and the slasher on the other and somehow they crash into each other. Surprisingly they mesh fairly well, but won't be for everyone.
This is one of those strange quirky films that if you get it and just let it do its thing is pretty fun, but is only going to engage a select few. Make no mistake there is plenty of songs for the musically obsessed and enough spewing blood to keep the gore hounds happy, but are these both the same fans and can they co-exist to enjoy this film? Thankfully these types of films are subjective so check it out for yourself and you decide, either way you decide and prepare to not only break a leg, but cut it completely off with Stage Fright.

Creating Embroidery Through Computerized Embroidery Machine
Most embroidery prints and designs today are made through computerized means instead of manually. Creating embroidery through computerized embroidery machine is actually sometimes preferred by many because the job is done in no time and with precision.
There are basically five steps in digitizing and making the embroidery design through computerized embroidery machine.
Designing the Embroidery Files: Many small companies are offering embroidery digitizing these days and we can buy or create embroidery design files from them. There are also designs that are ready to be downloaded from web sites. Embroidery digitizers, or embroidery punchers as known to some, make the designs by using digitizing software, which will allow the digitizer to create the design in the native file format and make it easy to edit and reshape later on. Different embroidery machines use different file formats so we should know the file format of the embroidery digitizing software to complete the task.
In embroidery digitizing, it is important that the digitizer keep the original file of the design. This is because converting the design file to a stitch file might lose important information and make it hard to either change or edit the design in the latter part of the process. Among the important information of the design that should be preserved are the object outlines, the thread colors, and the original artwork used to make the design.
Editing the Design: After the digitizing process, we will have the option to edit the design. Embroidery software can help us to move, sketch, rotate, split, crop, or copy the design. We can also add some text or change the colors.
Loading Design Into the Embroidery Machine: After the designing and the editing, we can now load the final design into the embroidery machine. As stated above, different machines use different file formats so we should first be sure that the design we created is compatible for the embroidery machine. The most common file formats accepted by many machines are ART, VIP, JEF, SEW, HUS, and PES.
Stabilizing the Fabric To Be Used: This process will again depend on the embroidery machine. In stabilizing the fabric we have to consider the machine, the design and its density, and the type of fabric to use. We need to stabilize the fabric to avoid wrinkles and other problems. We do this by either adding one or more additional pieces called stabilizers or interfacing to the fabric, or by using a hoop which is attached to the machine.
Starting the Embroidery: As soon as the fabric is stabilized and the design file is well settled into the embroidery machine, we can start with the embroidering. Monitoring the machine is needed, of course, since there is a need to make color (thread) changes and add special effects and such. We also have to look that the machine goes into the right stitching path as was detailed in the digitizing process.
Embroidery isn't as difficult as it was long ago. With embroidery digitizing and computerized machines, embroidering designs and patterns can be done by just about anyone. This is the real advantage of creating embroidery through computerized embroidery machine.

Embroidered Patches: How Computerization Is Working Its Magic
Have you ever stopped to wonder how embroidered patches are actually made? I have, especially when I've seen some of the newest creations involving complex embroidery and a multitude of colors. It really does seem as though manufacturers can create patches from the most intricate designs these days. All you need to do is take a look around the Internet to see what I'm talking about. So what's the secret?
When it comes to how patches are made these days, computerization has played a big role in changing things just like it has with many other products. Years ago, patches were hand embroidered by someone who was following a simple design. So when it came to patches being created for commercial purposes, there was never much in the way of variety or detail. But when automation was introduced to the industry things got a bit easier with embroidery machines that could produce multiple copies of the same patch – from a single template. Yet even as little as 10 years ago, automated embroidering machines were still not capable of the complex designs we're seeing today.
Computerization has enabled the industry to create intricately designed patches with extreme precision even on a very small scale. The same precision used by machine shops to create pieces within 1/1000 of an inch of tolerance is now being used to embroider patches. So now things that used to be considered impossible can be done such as fine outlining, shading and detailing. So nowadays patches are something that a lot of people would see as fine works of art.
The only limitations on patches these days is the imagination of the designers. As long as they have an idea, they can create that graphical representation on the computer and then the software they are using can convert that into an embroidery pattern. The pattern will then be saved as a file which will then be put into the embroidery machine and then transferred onto a black patch. Furthermore, one of the added benefits of computerization is that it's now also possible to do short run jobs and still remain profitable.
No matter how you slice it, computerization has been good for embroidered patches. Which really is great. It also has its advantages when it comes to wholesale motorcycle patches.

The Vital Tasks That Leveling Jacks Perform For Your RV.
When you go on a trip in your RV, you certainly do not want to become nauseous. It can eventuate no matter how smooth your journey may be and no matter how opulent your trailer may be. If your motor home is unbalanced due to a rough floor, a leveling jack can be used to adjust your vehicle. This is an accessory which jacks up the mobile home to compensate for any unleveled ground. You can find many genres of these jacks at the retailers. From manual to automatic and with simple to complex designs, you'll find that they'll all serve their purpose. Are you thinking that these RV leveling jacks are really just a waste of money? The most beneficial function of these tools is to help provide your vehicle with a horizontal floor. Patently you want a compact, immoveable floor in your mobile home. You don't want your RV to be lurching every time you move, threatening to topple over onto its side. This may seem to be embroidery but it can happen. For this reason the jack is necessitated to stabilize your camper. Some people contend that large, heavy objects are just as effective to deal with rugged ground, but that is not thorough. Stones and wood can easily be removed by torrential rain and strong winds, as can your un supported camper. Are you willing to gamble with your family's security? The leveling jacks will enable you to walk on a firm floor and will give you a sense of invulnerability. For those with older trailers, you will no longer experience difficulties with your refrigerator. All of these benefits translate into a wonderful camping adventure. Has that convinced you to get one? It is not necessary to pay for a complicated and valuable jack. These machines have more or less identical controls. Be mindful however that leveling and stabilizing tools each have distinguishing features. Relating to recreational vehicles, these two sorts are radically disparate. You use leveling jacks to make your RV level and you use stabilizing jacks to "stabilize" your RV and make you feel like you're walking inside a real house and not a vehicle. Using a stabilizing jack to balance your vehicle can spoil the frame if done a regular basis. In contrast, a leveling jack is invaluable in that it safeguards you and also helps you economize. A good leveling jack will serve its purpose and will save you lots of dollars in the long run. Avoid all of the worries and significant maintenance costs. Forget about your dilemmas once you have bought a leveling jack. All distinguished trailer owners are worthy of these leveling jacks.

Start Your Own Business: Sell Baby Quilts
If you have made and given baby quilts as gifts, chances are that you have given some thought to selling baby quilts.
Making and selling baby quilts is a legitimate business and it can be as big or as small, as part time or as full time as you would like. If you have had some complements on your baby quilt creations and want to turn those kudos into profits, you have some options.
If you want to customize baby quilts, place inexpensive classified ads in your area newspapers. It doesn't need to be wordy, just enough to get customers to call you. Something like: "Your nursery. Your colors. Your custom baby quilt. Phone #." Then, you can quote customers on a personalized theme. Advertising does not have to be expensive. Take advantage of free online ads and free community bulletin boards in your neighborhood stores.
Another way to start selling baby quilts is to make your creations and sell them as is. So, you will not work with a customer to design a theme or color scheme…and there's nothing wrong with that! You will make the quilts you want to make, then offer them for sale.
To create truly marketable products, you will need to know current trends in colors and themes for nurseries. B ready to change to the next trend. It might be brown and turquoise for girls and camo and black for boys instead of traditional pinks and blues.
You could sell your pre-made quilts several ways. Try selling at a craft fair or baby expo. You could rent space at a flea market or consignment shop, and could even set up a roadside stand as long as it's not infringing on local solicitation laws. Think about working out a selling agreement with local hospital gift shops.
If you want to sell baby quilts in a craft fair type setting but there isn't one scheduled for ages, put together your own mini craft fair. Invite other craftspeople from your area to join in (maybe even charge them a small rental fee to have a table or booth). Advertise it and wait for the customers to show up! If you plan this type of selling arrangement shortly before holidays or as part of another community event (like a local festival), you should receive good traffic.
You can also sell baby quilts through online auctions. Some auction sites, like eBay, allow the seller to establish a "store." With an eBay store, you could sell ready made baby quilts or advertise your custom baby quilt creations… or both.
Once you see your baby quilt business taking off, consider expanding to sell quilted other accessories, like quilted roll-up nap mats, small pillows, matching quilted wall hangings and other quilted décor. No matter how you choose to start selling baby quilts, consider adding the possibility of personalizing them. An embroidered name in the corner adds an extra special touch and gives you another income opportunity as long as you have an embroidery machine. Charge an additional $10 to $20 to add a name. Small embroidery machines do not have to cost much. If getting one is out of your budget, connect with a local embroiderer to have the work done for you.
Package your finished product by rolling or folding and securing with ribbon and a simple bow. Now, you are ready to start selling baby quilts.

At first examination, there seems to be an incompatibility between a stock car and a motorcycle engine. Motorcycle power in a bodied race car? As strange as it seems, you might be surprised how common it's become in the past 10 years. Granted, we're not talking about a full-size machine here, but the models that use this power have authentic race car looks.
The engines used are mostly Kawasaki and Yamaha with 600cc-1,300cc displacements, depending on the type of vehicle used. A common assumption with these beginning classes is that there is not enough power for wheel-to-wheel competition. Yet with capabilities up to 135 hp, and vehicle weights in the 1,000-pound category, these mini-racers are real movers.
Powertrains for these types of bike-powered mini-racers are of two distinct configurations. First there is the long-standing chaindrive setup; others use a standard automotive driveline arrangement. There are also a number of mini-open-wheel vehicles that have been around for several years, but we won't examine those here. The winged Mini-Sprints and the more recent Kenyon Midgets have both used motorcycle power with excellent results.
The concentration here, however, will be on six different motorcycle-powered full-body race machines-Dwarf cars, Legend cars, Baby Grand cars, Pro Challenge cars, Challenger Dirt Late Models, and Thunder Roadster race cars.
Each is unique in its own way, offering race experience to all ages, male and female, at amazingly economical prices. As all these models have suspension systems, racers actually get to learn how to set up a race car. Not all of these cars are available across the country, though several of them have almost nationwide distribution. All carry significant safety equipment.
Here's a look at each of these motorcycle-powered race cars. One might be exactly what you're looking for:
Dwarf CarsDwarf cars are popular across much of the country. Stepping back in time for their body designs, these 51/48-scale models are based on '28-'48 vintage American models, in coupe, sedan, and even pickup truck styles. Often confused with Legend cars, these models are more of a modified style with the front and rear fenders omitted. The cars have sheetmetal bodies, use a steel-tube frame with a sturdy rollcage, and run on short oval tracks.
With an automotive-style powertrain arrangement, the three most popular motorcycle engines used are Suzuki, Kawasaki, and Honda. They range in size from 1,000 cc-1,250 cc. The engines are both air- and water-cooled, burning both alcohol and gasoline. They also use five- or six-speed motorcycle transmissions and a modified Toyota-type rearend.
The 1,000-pound Dwarfs use 13-inch tires and compete on one-fifth- to three-eighth-mile tracks. Handling is excellent with coilover shocks on all four corners. With only slight changes, the Dwarf cars can be modified for dirt or pavement.
A new car, minus the engine, can be acquired for $6,500 and up. But a used roller can be acquired for $3,000-$5,000. New engines cost in the $2,000-$3,000 range, while used engines can be bought for one-third to one-half that of a new engine.
Legend CarsLike the Dwarf cars, the motorcycle-powered Legend cars have a '30s and '40s aura, also with 51/48-scale designs. The major difference between the two body styles is that the Legend cars have the total factory appearance with the stock-style fenders. The Legends also have more of a modern twist with full fiberglass bodies.

Blunderbuss Replaced by Peashooter
So now we broadly have it from Europe: the general outline of things to come. What's not clear is whether the euro zone has been rescued. Or not.
First off, from the European Central Bank. There will be no unsterilized buying of peripheral euro-zone sovereign debt. What's more, there will be no roundabout routes to debt monetization such as through loans made to the IMF so that the IMF would buy the bonds instead. There will be no support operations to put a lid on yields of debt from countries at the periphery.
But there will be plenty of support for euro-zone banks, which now have access to if not unlimited ECB liquidity then even more of the stuff than they've known what to do with so far. Maybe commercial banks could be persuaded to buy vast amounts of sovereign debt, doing the ECB's job for it. Set against that is the need by Europe's banks to raise capital–or deleverage–in order to meet stricter minimum capital rules.
By and large, though, the ECB left the hard decisions to Europe's heads of government. And here, the deal struck in the small hours of last night looks, smells and squashes like freshly made fudge.
The deal looks a lot like the original stability and growth pact that proved to be such a weak foundation for the single currency anyway. Countries will be bound by harsh deficit rules. Unless other member states say they aren't. This will be policed by EU institutions.
Meanwhile, private investors won't be made to share in any losses stemming from bailouts.
Much attention has focused on the U.K.'s use of a veto on grounds that it didn't want the EU to interfere even more than it already does in London's financial services industry. Never mind that the U.K.'s new banking authority is about as hard line as they come.
Why then are equity markets doing reasonably well Friday after rallying sharply in the week leading up to the summit?
Maybe it's because no countries actually withdrew from the euro zone. Or because the politicians showed commitment to the project, a willingness to do–or at least say–whatever it takes. Or maybe it's just because markets are eternally optimistic that everything will turn out fine if you can just manage to buy enough time.
What seems clear, though, is that the euro is no more fit for purpose now that it was a couple of weeks ago, that smiles and handshakes don't hide the ugly truth that Europe's periphery has been condemned to many years of painful austerity and that Europe's voters will grow increasingly disenchanted with the single currency project so that when the rift comes between them and their politicians, extremists will work their way into the gap.

Experience with a Sound Enhancement System Based on Wavefront Synthesis
At a previous AES convention, the theory of wave-front synthesis was introduced as the basis for enhancement of sound with full preservation of its natural properties in space and time. Since then, systems based on this theory have been built and tested, under laboratory conditions as well as in real auditoria. In this paper, the performance of these systems is discussed in terms of physical and perceptual criteria.

LG announces Quick Voice for Android to take on Apple's Siri and Samsung's S Voice
There's no doubt about it: Apple's Siri is a feature that many want on their smartphones. Samsung knows this, that's why it introduced a similar technology (called S Voice) with the new Galaxy S III. And LG knows this, too, as the South Korean company has just announced "Quick Voice", which – you've guessed it – is its own take on Siri and S Voice.
Quick Voice will allow LG Android phone users to interact with their device by voice only – making calls, emailing, searching maps, searching the web and so on.
LG's Quick Voice will be available to South Korean Optimus phone owners starting late June (not all Optimus models will support it). For the moment, there's no word on when the new feature will be released in other markets.

The Pros Closet - Bigger than you think
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Owners Nick (left) and Pete pose in their "lobby"
Seven years ago, while living in a Volkswagen Van and training to make it as a professional mountain bike racer, Nick Martin planted a seed. A seed that today
has grown into the world's largest online used bike store. Nick combined his deep knowledge of auction science with his industry contacts and started down a path that has expanded beyond the simple life inside that old Volkswagen Van. While Nick was successfully selling for his mountain bike peers he met Pro Roadie, Pete Lopinto. Pete and Nick combined forces and brought their road and mountain bike contacts together to form The Pros Closet. Within a week Nick's one bedroom Boulder apartment has filled with teammates old kits and used parts. At that point they knew this was a business model that was going to work.
The Pros Closet is a bike shop unlike any you have seen before. Their knowledge of auction science and eBay's market place has allowed them to turn over 60% of their inventory every 7 days. By opening your auctions up to a worldwide marketplace and using their proven auction strategies, they can put more money in your pocket than you can selling your own gear. Their deep inventory comes from bike shops, companies, professional athletes, industry reps, and riders like you.
Click to Enlarge How they operate
Here is how they work.
- STEP 1: Bring in the contents of your garage and dresser drawers
- STEP 2: Watch the action. Once your item(s) are listed, they e-mail you a link to
your online account so you can view the action as your auctions unfold. They also
assign account manager to your account to answer any questions you may have
throughout the process.
- STEP 3: Get Paid: After your auction ends, the collect payment and professionally
ship your item(s) to the winning bidder
60% of this will be gone in 7 days!
They can also make you an offer on the spot, walking out of their door with a fist full of cash and a cleaner garage.
The Pros Closet has thrived in a struggling economy. Customers have been shying away from retail and taking the time to find better deals on line. Not only has this increased traffic has allowed The Pros Closet to get top dollar for their inventory but their inventory has grown as their clients are looking to free up capital by selling their old gear.
This success has not gone unnoticed. Spin off businesses like The Gear Movement and Boulder Sports Recycler have been popping up. With all these re-sellers in Boulder it makes me wonder why anyone like myself would sit on their old stuff and not try to sell it. You don't have to lift a finger and they will put top dollar in your pocket.
This store is for me!
I gave craigslist a try once and found it to be time consuming and not worth my while. I have a family, a job, this news site and training so I don't have time for the hassle and detail that goes into selling online. I practically would give my stuff away to friends because I did not have the time or energy it takes to "deal with it". Follow my lead and fill up a couple boxes, swing by The Pros Closet's warehouse and get a tour of what has become Boulder's most unique bike shop.

Boulder Sports Recycler
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Boulder Sports Recycler may have "been around for 20 years" and be the oldest business in this industry in Boulder, but dealing with their employees as a client is far from enjoyable. Their customer service is at the least infuriating and at most downright nonexistent. I am not someone who usually either needs or wants much help in a retail environment. But even if you come in with a laid back attitude and the willingness and knowledge to "do for yourself", the service at this place is abhorrent.
Meanwhile, the Pros Closet is friendly, professional, and actually fun to do business with.

The fact that they hang a sign that says "No Cell Phones" should tell you right there. Now even Subway will ask you not to converse will in the check out line but c'mon, get real. There are a few nice folks (the lady has always been nice and friendly when I've been there) but a few bitter ones too enough to leave a sour taste. I dont much care, I just get in, get out, and nobody gets hurt.

I like to pop in too the Sports Recycler from time to time just to check out some used gear. I agree that the experience is uncomfortable. Almost of feeling they are annoyed you are there touching stuff. I am always treated like I don't know anything about anything. My girlfriend had the same experience. And yes the lady was really nice.

They are only telling you
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
They are only telling you half the story. You pay them their fee, then you pay them the ebay fee and then you get to pay the paypal fee as well. I am not saying it is a scam and I use them all the time myself. I am just saying the way the fees are presented above is a gross understatement of what it will cost you. They are only quoting you the fees they charge you, not all the other fees you will pay. On smaller items I have had the total fees come to over 50% of what the item sold for. However I will also add that on item over $1,000 the % gets much lower and easier to take.
One question I have for these guys, are they making money of the ebay fees and paypal fees? Or are they just passed on to the customer without any mark up? I have no idea and just wondered.

"They Call Me A Cockeyed Optimist.â€
I was a child of the '40s, when uplifting musicals — ah, Fred with Ginger, Cyd, Eleanor or whatever lucky lady he chose for a partner — were popular and let me believe unconditionally all would be fine, even though our country was just recovering from the devastating crash of '29 and a world war. I have no idea how people managed to keep up their spirits, but doing so was the watch word back then.
"Whistle A Happy Tune.â€
However, even though the movies made us feel good, it was unrealistic to think we had nothing to fear. Criminals were powerful, their names were almost household words, but in many ways they existed in a competitive underground world of their own. We so-called average people remained confident we could rebuild our own lives away from the shadows of organized crime.
"On the Sunny Side of the Street.â€
As a young kid I was pretty sure that taking a contemplative walk in the sunshine would cure all things and provide sought-after answers to puzzling questions.
"Pennies From Heaven.â€
But even when the sunshine remained elusive (this is Ohio, you know), I could find something positive about the rain: it would make crops grow for the big farmers and backyard gardeners alike, and cool off steamy hot days when the only relief came from a small oscillating fan. Air conditioning? As yet a relatively unknown luxury.
"Singing in the Rain.â€
When not bent on the economic and physical benefits of rainfall, I could always revert to amateurishly dancing my way through puddles, real or imagined, with or without the rain. Gene and Debbie gave us hope for a bright future.
"Swinging on a Star.â€
I always laughed as I listened to Bing sing that amusing ditty. It was entertaining, but I surely would not settle for being a mule or a pig. My sights were set on shooting for the moon — if I fell short, I somehow knew I might at least land on a star.
"Catch a Falling Star.â€
But if that failed, Perry said I could catch a falling star and put it in my pocket, save it for a rainy day. I believed Perry.

"Look for the Silver Lining.â€
There were, and still are, many ugly things in the world, there always will be, yet I am unwilling to give in to all the doom and gloom.
