Awarded the 2015 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)/Teen Vogue Scholarship, the collection of streetwear designed by Savannah College of Art and Design sophomore Sang Lim Lee exists somewhere between urban Korea and the untamed Serengeti.
The men's line evokes the vibrant color, textures and details of the streetwear that Sang grew up seeing in Seoul, and was inspired by a documentary she watched on the Serengeti.
Majestic desert views gave her the idea to stylize the patterns in the desert animals' coats. The results are youthful prints that are lighter than classic animal patterns and, as applied to Sang's garments, create streetwear suited for performance and style.
I like the wildness of the Serengeti. It's kind of like a man's life. – Sang Lim Lee

It wasn't just the aesthetics of the environment that informed her design, but the ranges in desert climate. So Sang chose synthetic materials over natural fabrics to provide suitable protection from the elements: cold, hot, rain, sun. Fabric, says Sang, is something that distinguishes Korean fashion from American fashion.
Koreans really focus on details, fabrication and the texture of clothes. I went to a lot of Korean fabric stores, which inspired the look behind my collection. I think that fabric is as important to fashion as silhouette. - Sang Lim Lee

Ultimately, Sang wants to be a designer who is relevant in both Korean and American markets. One of her biggest influences is designer Choi Bum Suk, whom she admires for overcoming humble beginnings to prevail in Korea's fashion industry, while establishing a studio in New York. "It's hard to come to the U.S., but he did it. He didn't give up," said Sang.
Being mentored by Choi Bum Suk in Seoul and then reuniting with him in the U.S. were key moments in Sang's developing fashion career, the origins of which took place in the shadows of silk screening machines. She was greatly influenced by her family's silk screening business and their expertise matching color, graphics and fabric.
Another milestone for Sang was leaving South Korea to study fashion at SCAD, which led to the $25,000 CFDA/Teen Vogue Scholarship and becoming a Target Fashion Scholar. The honor carries a host of opportunities for exposure, starting with a spring break adventure to visit Target's design team in Minneapolis.
It's a great start for Sang, who endeavors to learn more about American fashion. But maybe in the process of absorbing the intricacies of a major brand, Sang's penchant for combining texture and multiple fabrics will rub off on the established designers who teach her.
How does an improv comedy troupe warm up? There's laughter, as one might expect. But, in the case of 6Chix, there's also a dance party, spurred on by some of the best female empowerment anthems of all time.
The anthems are working. 6Chix is the first all-female troupe to ever compete in the College Improv Tournament National Championship (March 14). In addition to Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Tyler and Beyoncé, 6Chix has a cheerleader in David Storck, the troupe's coach and professor at Savannah College of Art and Design, which sent three teams to the finals of regional college improv competitions this year.
David was trained by improv maven Amy Poehler at Upright Citizens Brigade. He took her class three times in order to master the techniques of improv comedy, and then ran Gotham City Improv. Now he teaches performing arts students like the members of 6Chix: Rebecca Huey, Lucy Groeber, Gabrielle Hespe, Sawyer Greenberg, Caroline Huey and Emily Updegraff.
According to David, the tools of improv comedy are more essential than ever to film and television.
Hollywood has finally figured out how to use improv and it's taking off. – David Storck

At their final rehearsal before departing for nationals, David picks two topics for 6Chix's next warm-up: brunch and flowers. Gabrielle sits between Caroline and Emily, holding simultaneous conversations about each topic. The exercise keeps the players agile and improves their focus and ability to listen. It also keeps them chuckling, but these games build serious skills.
Improv artists are now highly sought after for writing and acting jobs in the entertainment industry, yet most colleges only teach a traditional approach to performing arts. So college thespians possessing well-honed improv skills are as rare as breakthrough female comedians. Indeed, the members of 6Chix had not experienced the benefits of improv until they came to SCAD.
The 6Chix are in a position to possibly be trailblazers and pioneers from the college world for women in comedy. – David Storck

The 6Chix want to be known first and foremost for their craft, and emphasize that forming an all-female troupe was more a matter of availability rather than a decision to exclude men. But they cite the success of talents like Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Kristin Wiig and Maya Rudolph, which encourages them to challenge the notion that women aren't as funny as men.
Watching where Amy Poehler was a couple of years ago, and knowing where she has been, it's amazing to see she still kept with it. She stuck in there and kept driving forward and now they've all opened this great door for us. – Caroline Huey

Though recently formed in fall of 2014, 6Chix will disband after nationals. Three of the members, including Lucy Groeber, who will spend her final quarter in an internship with The Groundlings, will graduate this spring. Regardless of where they land, it's certain their connection, forged through the power of saying "yes" to improv and one another, will remain strong.
Watch 6Chix perform in the College Improv Tournament via livestream at 5 p.m. EDT on Saturday, March 14.
"Can I tell you the story of The Breakfast Club?"
When one of two surviving members of the creative team behind The Breakfast Club offers to tell you how the enduring teen flick got made it's not an offer you refuse, especially on the eve of the movie's re-release in over 400 theaters this month for its 30th anniversary.
Maybe it's the band Simple Minds pleading "don't you forget about me" during the open and close, but something about the movie just stays with you. I was 9 when The Breakfast Club opened, but at least twice a year I think about Ally Sheedy shaking dandruff over her desk. It's one of many scenes that grabbed me and it captures what the 1980s classic is all about: 'It's ok to be different.'
By setting up stereotypes embodied by actors like Molly Ringwald and Emilio Estevez, and then deconstructing them in the setting of an all-day high school detention session, director John Hughes broadcasts a message of acceptance to teens long before #stayweird.
The art student could have a place at the Breakfast table with the rest of the movie's archetypes — the criminal, the basket case, the brain, the princess, the athlete — which is why it's ironic that for 10 years executive producer Andy Meyer has been using the script to teach screenwriting at Savannah College of Art and Design, down the road from where he produced another little movie called Fried Green Tomatoes. He also produced Better Off Dead, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in February.
Then the president of the newly formed A&M Films, Meyer landed on Hughes' doorstep in Chicago after reading his script National Lampoon's Vacation.
I said, 'That's a really funny script, do you have anything else?' He said, 'Well I do, but there's a problem, because I have to direct it.' Red flags are going off in my head, because I don't know if he knew which end of a camera to use. – Andy Meyer

Andy Meyer: I went back to my hotel room and read The Breakfast Club. I said, 'This is amazing.' I called the guys in LA and said, 'We should buy it and make it for one million dollars, low budget.'
SCAD: As the story goes, Universal entered the picture and gave A&M $12 million to make the film. Now, 30 year's later, the movie is set to open again. What's behind the re-release?
AM: Breakfast Club is one of the most iconic films of all time. There are still Breakfast Club parties and wardrobe sightings and the music still plays on the radio and in clubs.
It has never quite left the culture, so bringing it back after 30 years was a pretty easy decision to make. – Andy Meyer

SCAD: What was it like on the set of the film?
AM: The picture was the easiest picture I ever made because everybody went to work at the same place (the entire movie takes place in a library that Universal built in an old high school gym). The best people in the business were around John and the actors. We had them in a hotel for about two weeks prior to shooting and they were all together, so by the time they got to the set it was like they were in high school together. They finished each other's sentences. It was fantastic.
SCAD: What scenes were left, or almost left, on the cutting room floor?
Universal was really nervous about the 12-minute talking head scene where the kids sit on the floor and reveal why they're in detention. – Andy Meyer

AM: It was a more serious film than studios were used to and they didn't know if kids would like it. So we said, 'Test it, see what happens.' The audience liked that scene the most, so we didn't have to reshoot. That's why I think it has lasted all these years. It has all these levels to it and kids can all relate to it, being the stereotypes that they are.

SCAD: Whose character do your students identify most with?
AM: When the movie came out the most popular kid was Judd Nelson, the bad boy. Now, I would bet that Anthony Michael Hall is the most popular kid. The nerds rule, basically. There is a cartoon going around that if The Breakfast Club were made today they'd just be tweeting at each other instead of talking because we are a digitally connected society. Anthony Michael Hall's character is closer to that than the tough guy.
SCAD: Do any contemporary teen flicks measure up?
AM: I think it's safe to say that there still isn't another filmmaker who understood teenagers like John Hughes. If you look at all his movies and the theme of kids against their parents, I have never seen another filmmaker who relates to them better than John. He consistently got into the skin of the kids with Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles. When he was hot, he was hot.
Andy still works on film and television projects while teaching at SCAD, but his next great production might be the young filmmaker in class whose voice and vision deliver something as original as The Breakfast Club. Meyer will join Ringwald and Sheedy at SXSW's premiere of the remastered version on March 16.
Trust us, you'll want to know this dirtbag. In this case, the dirtbag isn't a person but a campaign designed by students Rebecca Antonucci (B.F.A., advertising, senior) and Stefanie Gomez (B.F.A., advertising, senior) to increase awareness and adoption of composting in Detroit. The Dirtbag Project is their answer to this challenge posed by advertising agency Team Detroit: create a 'trashvertising' campaign to boost urban farming and compost supply. Rebecca and Stefanie are one team of three finalists who will pitch their project at SXSW in hopes of actually getting it made. Vote here by March 13 to help get their dirtbags to Detroit.
SCAD: Give us the fast version of the pitch you'll make at SXSW?
Rebecca Antonucci: Using the paper bag as a medium really has potential to be adopted by Detroit because it doesn't complicate things, but rather just puts something people already use to a better use. The bag allows us to put all the composting info they need directly into the hands of the target audience. Most grocery stores already have this option, so all we would need to do would be to replace their existing bags with the dirtbags.
S: The word dirtbag conjures all manner of images. Is there an association there that you believed would draw a reaction?
RA: We got pretty lucky with the dirtbag concept. As the copywriter, I loved the idea of using the word to get people's attention and create an irony in having people with a negative connotation do something positive for the world. Stefanie, the art director, came up with using compostable brown bags as our media, and to put all the info someone needs in order to compost right there on the bag. It allowed us to pair attitude and intrigue with a solid, simple, and doable idea.
S: It really is such a simple idea. Did it start that way? How did you winnow it down to this?
RA: It did not start there, but we knew we had to do something simple since the brief required it. We researched, talked to urban farmers, and constantly asked ourselves, 'How can we make something different?' We wanted to find a media that hadn't really been used to promote composting, but that didn't drastically change our target's daily routine. Then, when we both had our dirtbag ideas, it just clicked.
Professor of design for sustainability Scott Boylston:
The Dirtbag Project is effective because it's fun, easy, informative, engaging, and viral. This is a great example of design's power to help us all lead more sustainable lives. - Scott Boylston

S: What advertising trends did you tap into to come up with the creative?
RA: We tapped into satirical work, like Droga5's Newcastle campaigns, "Dumb Ways To Die", and "The Onion." We also found examples of agencies using things like grocery receipts in new ways to help us find a new media to use for the campaign.
S: What are some of your favorite cause marketing campaigns and what have you learned from them?
Stefanie Gomez: "Dumb Ways To Die." It's just a funny way to talk about train safety. Instead of saying 'STAY BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE', they said, 'It's just as dumb as poking a toaster with a fork.' Even though I don't live in Australia, after seeing that, I pledged to be safe around trains.
RA: I really enjoy Chipotle's "Cultivate a Better World" campaign. Sometimes it's easy to take an emotional route with a cause campaign and kind of hit the target in the gut, but I feel like this campaign gets an emotional concept across in a way that actually makes a statement. It's not just meant to make you tear up, but to change your habits for a better purpose, and you want to after watching the spots.
S: What did you notice, good or bad, about other composting campaigns out there?
RA: One, there aren't many. Two, most involve a lot of statistics used to "scare" us into composting. Three, they seem to cater to people who already take actions similar to composting, rather than going after people who don't consider it at all.
Maybe the tone of their campaign is rubbing off on us, but we feel pretty confident that Stefanie and Rebecca 'have this one in the bag.'
Some of the best advice we've heard for future filmmakers is that if you want to direct, start directing. Jason Rayner (B.F.A., animation, 2014) and his animated short, My Big Brother, about a boy sharing a room with his twenty-foot tall sibling, are proof that you don't have to wait until you graduate to begin your best work. Jason produced and directed My Big Brother, winner of the 42nd annual Annie Award for Best Student Film, while studying animation at Savannah College of Art and Design. The film debuted in Cartoon Brew's Student Animation Festival and recently screened at aTVfest in Atlanta. The Pennsylvania native spoke to us from San Francisco, where he has worked as an animator and illustrator since completing the film in May 2014.
SCAD: What does winning the Annie Award mean to your career?
Jason Rayner: The Annie Awards were a fun, great experience. It meant a lot to me, as I'm being introduced into the animation industry. To be in the presence of such great talent and with animation leaders was so significant. Receiving the award made me feel like I was truly welcomed into the industry.
SCAD: How will it affect your future work?
JR: It was a motivating experience, definitely raised the standards I set for myself, and encouraged me to work more. I am hoping it will be a boost to my confidence.
S: What was the inspiration for the film?
JR: I grew up with two older brothers, and I tend to think about the past a lot. I immediately thought about what my family meant to me and growing up. My artistic inspiration was Ronald Daul's book, BFG, and I love the dynamic of the characters. I reflected about what my artistic voice would be, dreaming about the future while thinking about the past. I wanted to create a character that I could relate to. I gave the little brother the personality of being in the background at times and coming to a point where he had to accept his life with a "big" brother."
S: How did you combine fantasy and reality into a coherent storyline?
JR: Since this was my first time writing, I talked to professors quite a bit about it. I am fascinated with the idea of a story that has one premise and then the rest of the story is true, with no questions asked. I then asked myself, "How does that one premise change his life, and how does it connect with a real person's life and how it's relatable?" I was trying not to make the big brother a metaphor for something else, though it can be interpreted differently, depending on the viewer's perspective.
S: Did you encounter any unexpected challenges?
JR: I didn't expect that writing a story would be so hard. I had a lot of help with it from my friends and professors who helped me work on the structure and narrative of the story. I couldn't believe how long animation takes. The short film project took three quarters of the year, which included the initial writing over the summer. Students all gathered together twice a quarter to present their progress on the project and we also received faculty and peer feedback.
S: What are some of your top lessons learned from the project?
JR: Not to stress about the project result, but to make the process enjoyable. Also that I couldn't do it all alone. The support I received on lighting and music were a huge help. I found it hard to ask people to work for me, especially for free. I also had to be able to be gracious and understanding with people.
S: Which SCAD courses helped prepare you to make this film?
JR: I enjoyed taking an etching class, which got me away from the computer. I also liked the humor writing class and poetry classes. The concepts class, taught by Louis Cook, a requirement for all animation majors, was extremely helpful, as were the character animation courses. Those were crucial to my development.
S: You used the animation software Blender to make this project. How and when did you learn it?
JR: I was 11-years-old when I starting learning Blender. It was a long, slow-moving process. A lady at church who was an animator gave me a CD with Blender on it. I had just started using computers, so I initially tried to make games with the program. I experimented with it throughout high school, using it as a hobby. Blender has a great online community for learning through its forum posts and tutorials.
S: Are you still using Blender?
JR: Yes, I use it mostly for modeling, and it's still the program that I'm most comfortable with. Because it's an open-source program, it has an awesome set of features that continue to grow.
S: What are you working on now?
JR: I am currently a freelance project-based animator in San Francisco working on an encyclopedia picture studio. This project includes working with group of directors on music videos and a virtual realty film. I'm also working for two directors on musician Panda Bear's interactive music project.
S: What direction do you see your career taking?
JR: I really enjoy the place I'm at now, where everyone is able to speak in their own artistic voice. I'm part of a team of 10 people, and I work with one person in particular who was a big influencer on the style for My Big Brother. It's hard to believe that now I'm working with him. I really like that I'm on a pioneering track of embracing all forms of media, such as using different mixing techniques on the Panda Bear music videos.
Whether on the screen or behind it, above the line or below it, Savannah College of Art and Design alumni are making their mark on television. In honor of aTVfest (Feb. 5 – 7), we scoured our research to show you where. As producers, post supervisors, actors, DPs, art directors, visual effects artists, writers, and more, SCAD alumni are employed by the networks, or productions by the networks, on the map below. Just a snap shot, so that next time you're watching Game of Thrones, for example, you can say, "Hey, a fellow SCAD grad did that."
Here's what a few current students are up to. They screened their projects at the aTVfest Student Showcase, a juried show of assignments completed for visual effects, motion media, TV production and animation classes.
Drag it Out of MeBrad Schweninger (B.A., TV producing, junior), Producer and Director of Photography
"This documentary short, exploring the drag scene in Atlanta through the eyes of Steven Glen Diehl AKA 'Biqtch Puddin', was for a field production class. Drag it Out of Me highlights Steven's return to drag after being diagnosed with a rare heart condition. This project represents my interest in being both a producer and director of photography. I want to utilize the skills I learned in the photography department at SCAD and translate them to video production."
Thread: What do you watch?
Brad: True Detective. I love the cinematic look and editing, absolutely amazing. Plus, who doesn't love Woody and McConaughey?
Man on the MoveDavid Kim (B.A., TV producing, freshman) Director of Photography
"A professional skate boarder by the name of Preston Pollard shares his story about what he does, what keeps him on the move, and why he loves suiting up. The short film was shown at Benjaminbarker.com and represents my creativity and passion for the world of television. People view television differently because of the lack of control and creativity, compared to film. Through my camera shots, I want show that TV is still a creative job and contribute my unique style."
Thread: What's your dream job?
David: To work for National Geographic or Discovery. I want to travel the world and film life events that people normally do not get to see.
David: Frozen Planet, Life, Storm Chasers. These shows inspire me because the effort and time spent filming these animals or storms are incredible. It's amazing how we get to just simply turn on our TVs or computers to watch something so incredible. By watching these shows I try my best to imitate the shots they get and put my own pieces together.
Upstream Color
Reggie Harrison (M.F.A., advertising, candidate), Cinematography, Editing, Title Design and Color GradingMusic: "That You Would" by Dear Euphoria
"Upstream Color is a science fiction film revolving around a man and a woman whose lives mysteriously become drawn together. The project was completed for the graduate course, Motion Media Cinematography and Editing. The assignment was to re-design the opening titles for the film and defend why the creative direction was taken. My approach for the opening film title sequence was to capture the parasitic aspect of the man and woman's relationship. I believe in smart storytelling which, to me, means having both a perspective and a curated delivery. This work demonstrates my ability to craft a project that, when given creative freedom, still maintains the integrity of "the ask"; a dynamic that will bode well in the demanding environment of broadcast television."
Thread: What's your dream job?
Reggie: I would like to lead the creative direction of a company's video production efforts - either as a director or a hands-on executive producer. Those roles allow me to identify an audience and use my talents deliver a message that will resonate well with them.
Reggie: I enjoy watching films (independent and mainstream) and shows where the cinematography lends itself almost as a character on its own. Shows like Game of Thrones, Gotham, and True Detective have amazing visuals and shooting techniques that definitely inspire me. Well-executed cinematography generally helps me suspend my disbelief, which makes me that much more invested in the story. That's an effective tactic and, as an advertising major, strategy is an area where I'm most fluent.
Stay tuned to see where Brad, David and Reggie land on the map.
The resurgence of TV is attracting a new generation of talent. Students are increasingly interested in jobs for the small screen, whether they are above or below the line. I tell them it's a great time to get in, and that chances are good they'll one day work for the same shows they binge watch. It seems that people used to get into the business because they were well connected, starry eyed, or gluttons for rejection. But the reasons why TV is a great career to shoot for are now better than ever. Here's a few:
1.) There are more shows than there are staff to produce them.
When I was starting, jobs were scarce, and they were mostly limited to network. Not so today. For example, there are more than 60 network and cable TV shows and films now shooting in New York. This past summer there were 80. In Atlanta, there were 158 film and TV projects shot in 2014 alone, with frequent reports of new productions opening shop. Attached to each of these productions are a myriad of roles and responsibilities that show runners need to fill.
2.) You don't have to move to New York or Los Angeles.
Seventy five percent of my graduate class moved to LA or New York for work. Now I tell my students to go wherever they have contacts, especially Atlanta, where the opportunities are equal to those in New York and LA. There are big incentives for shows to hire locally, and tax credits aren't the only ones. I like to hire local crews because they know the area, are well connected and help a show run efficiently. If you build the labor force, the productions will come. Banking on this trend, I recently changed my DGA residency to Savannah believing that more production work will come to the city as the talent pool grows.
3.) New talent can grow with new platforms and content.
Viewers have an appetite for fresh content and for new ways to consume it. With original productions streaming on the likes of Amazon, and cable networks increasingly supplementing unscripted content with scripted, new talent can get in on the ground level of new shows with new forms of distribution and grow with them. Ratings buster Empire or Golden Globe-winning Transparent anyone?
4.) TV teaches on the job.
TV is still an industry that's willing to teach on the job. We bring in students with little experience, train them in the strange and technical nuances of our business, and hire the promising ones. I placed recent SCAD grad Gabe Gilden as an intern on a Comedy Central pilot. That internship turned into a job as a set PA on Broad City. Now he's in the process of joining the DGA Trainee Program. To get there, Gabe had to experience a set and learn what the other 100 crew members do. The beauty is that because he was taught that way, one day Gabe will create opportunities for students, too, and keep the pipeline going.
TV will thrive with a well-trained work force, which will result by expanding pathways between the classroom and the set. The sooner students know what they want to do, the sooner faculty can train them and place them on shows for course credit and real world experience. Such is the case of senior Allie Schultz who, beginning in sophomore year, spent early morning classes repeatedly setting up and breaking down tripods. Her active interest in cinematography landed her at the top of the list we handed the The Walking Dead when producers called SCAD for interns. Later on set, when a camera op threw her the sticks, of course Allie put them up rapidly and evenly, much to the surprise and delight of the harried crew. There are dozens more like her ready to be tested; ready to show the industry that its future is in good hands. And with job prospects looking better than ever, their ranks will grow, starry eyed and business-minded.

What does Savannah have in common with Hong Kong, Cartagena, Venice and Mumbai? As a port city, it has long been connected to global trade networks that have existed as long as the oldest human civilizations. Consider a lowly piece of Savannah pavement – a remarkable cobblestone etched with Chinese characters that began its life as a tombstone in China in 1798, became ballast in a ship in the 19th century, and ended up in Savannah as a cobblestone. The story of Savannah's Chinese cobblestone aptly illustrates the global forces that have directly shaped cities throughout history and around the world.
The cobblestone is the perfect symbol for the 9th Savannah Symposium (Feb. 5 - 7): "The Architecture of Trade." Since its inception in 1999, the biennial event, presented by Savannah College of Art and Design's architectural history department, has attracted almost 400 speakers from over 30 countries worldwide, bringing together historians, anthropologists, economists, and sociologists with architects, planners, designers and preservationists to connect history to issues that are relevant today.
Issues of trade increasingly dominate the news as the forces of globalization, shifting economics, and even the spread of diseases and political radicalism define our lives. Exploring the complex relationship between trade, architecture and cities, "The Architecture of Trade" is particularly timely given Savannah's rising profile as the nation's fastest growing port, now the fourth busiest after Los Angeles, Long Beach and New York City.
The 9th symposium will bring 50 speakers from around the United States and from Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Germany, Israel, Italy, and South Africa to Savannah, which shares the history and experiences of other trade centers, but is also an anomaly. Like other port cities around the world, Savannah is preparing for the arrival of the gigantic "post-Panamax" cargo ships in the coming years that will dwarf the current freighters. Yet Savannah also boasts one of the best preserved historic waterfronts, with most of its 19th-century warehouses intact, along with the unique network of masonry retaining walls, terraced lanes (called Factors Walk), and iron bridges.
The symposium leads off with a walking tour of this most extraordinary urban landscape. Also opening the event is the keynote lecture, "Cities of Incense and Myrrh," given by Dr. Nasser Rabbat, director of the Aga Khan Program in Islamic Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Thematic paper sessions will follow on subjects ranging from the impacts of vast trade networks in past centuries to how trade shapes the built environments of today. The symposium closes with the keynote lecture, "How Capitalism Shaped the Built Environment," given by Dr. Joyce Appleby, professor emerita of history at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The Savannah Symposium showcases the role SCAD plays in supporting scholarship and contributing to the broader understanding of our world. The lectures, receptions and tours provide valuable opportunities for students, faculty and community members to interact with leading academics and practitioners. Beyond the events, representative papers from the 3rd and 6th symposia have been published as books edited by the department's faculty – Commemoration in America: Essays on Monuments, Memorialization and Memory, edited by David Gobel and Daves Rossell (University of Virginia Press, 2013), and World Heritage and National Registers: Stewardship in Perspective, edited by Thomas Gensheimer and Celeste Lovette Guichard (Transaction Publishers, 2014). Papers from the 8th symposium will be published in late 2015 in Modernities Across Time and Space: Architecture and History in Context, edited by Patrick Haughey (Cambridge Scholars Publishing).
We invite you to participate. Keynote lectures are free and open to the public, while paper sessions and tours require conference registration.

The rise of the Asian fashion market means up and coming designers no longer exclusively eye New York or Paris as launching pads for their careers. Nor does the industry expect that the next generation will hail from one of the traditional fashion capitols. Think Hong Kong's Henry Lau. In addition to its proximity to the juggernaut of the Chinese market, for example, Hong Kong is home to major brands like Gucci, D&G, LV and Prada – all of which need new talent to thrive and evolve. And so, along with Henry, executives from giants like Polo Ralph Lauren, DKNY and Shanghai Tang attended Savannah College of Art and Design's inaugural Hong Kong fashion showcase to see what students there have in store for the industry.
With perennial fashion mentor and "America's Next Top Model" staple Miss J Alexander working alongside them behind the scenes, students sent 30 original designs down the runway.

Hong Kong native Janet Wong and Singapore native Dawn Bey, both SCAD Hong Kong fashion students, showed pieces from their collections and worked as dressers backstage, assisting models with fitting and changing garments, accessories and shoes.
Dawn showed a dress from her "Detour" collection, designed to send the message that women can do any job. In this garment, the road worker's vest was transformed in to a dress, and touches of neon pink pop against a yellow mesh vest and gray skirt that's reminiscent of cement.
[W]hen it comes to being a designer, you have to think about how your customer will eventually wear your clothes. The show also taught me about styling and how to communicate with people. – Dawn Bey

This look by Janet resulted from an assignment to create a collection that combines sportswear and an ethnic group. Janet merged the sport of hunting with a Scottish theme to create garments made of jersey.
As a fashion designer, it is important to know how runway backstage works. From styling, rehearsal, to the final presentation, each step is indispensable for a good fashion show. – Janet Wong

Referencing standards of beauty in China and Western cultures, her second look was inspired by foot bindings, corsets and Greek sculpture.
With history and culture serving as the basis for her collections, young designers like Janet will inevitably perpetuate the mounting East to West transfer of influence and style.
Furniture design is the latest addition to the competition TV landscape, with "Framework" on Spike TV and "Ellen's Design Challenge" set to premiere on HGTV (and screen at aTVfest, Feb. 5 – 7 in Atlanta). Far away from the Hollywood sets of these shows, Lacey Campbell (B.F.A., furniture design, 2008) was quietly making a living as a concept designer at Sauder in Ohio when the producers of "Framework" auditioned her to be one of 13 contestants competing to win $100,000 over the course of ten challenge-driven episodes.
A look at Lacey's approach to designing and building furniture – sustainable, youthful and effortless for the user - makes it easy to understand why a network would want to bring the craft to the screen. She welcomes the opportunity to teach others about her passion and that, yes, one can pursue furniture as an academic endeavor. Hers is one of more than 300 furniture design degrees that SCAD has awarded since launching its program in 1993.

Thread: What is causing audiences to look closer at how their furniture is made and who's making it?
Lacey Campbell: We are in a maker-focused age. Customers want custom, handmade, homemade, thoughtful things. Clothes, tattoos, food, makeup, and home decor have been done. It was only a matter of time. Although, we're a rare breed. Because wood workers and metal workers want to take their time to build something, it doesn't surprise me that television hasn't taken on their timeline until now. It's nice to be noticed.
T: What have you learned from your "Framework" competitors and the fast-paced nature of reality TV?
LC: I've learned to let it go. When the pressure is on, some details just won't make it. Being time conscious was a killer. Things would happen that were very hard to spring back from. 'Let it go' became the mantra.
T: Describe the design challenges and how you approached them.
LC: The first challenge was about overall ability.
The judges wanted to see what we could do. It was a wild set of rules and materials, and man was it hot. Fighting for materials in the sun with power tools for two hours was stressful.
The judges wanted to see what we could do. It was a wild set of rules and materials, and man was it hot. Fighting for materials in the sun with power tools for two hours was stressful.
Challenge two was filmed at Spin Standard, a ping pong club in downtown Los Angeles. We had to design ping pong tables that showed style. After a concept review with the judges, we were paired up with another builder. I was paired with Nate Hall. We decided to use my design because of the overwhelming feedback from the judges. Of course, the viewers didn't get to see much of the critiques. As a team we were unable to complete the table and so we were up for elimination. We had to defend our individual performances and Nate was eliminated. It was the most stressful moment standing there, undercutting my opponent after we worked so hard to accomplish something together.
T: Has the show opened up any new opportunities for you?
LC: I was really inspired and motivated when I returned home.
Being around such an amazing group of designers and builders really made me look within myself.
Being around such an amazing group of designers and builders really made me look within myself.
When I returned home I decided to make a risky move, even more risky than quitting my job to be part of the show. I decided to do whatever it took to start my business. I had been thinking about it for years, dabbling in freelance here and there. But when I got home it just made sense to fight for that, too. I have a refinishing business paired with a design and fabrication studio. I work from home and turned my garage into a shop. But I still have a job working at Lowes part time to support my crazy endeavor. Something else I'm working on is showing at ICFF or Wanted. I plan on taking three to five prototypes to a show during the design week in hopes of launching my brand and products.
Concept design for Sauder Furniture by Lacey Campbell.
T: How did SCAD prepare you to launch your own brand?
LC: SCAD taught me how to be a talented, aggressive designer.
T: You focus on furniture for young adults. What are some trends in this niche?
LC: Millennials are the most diverse group because of their upbringing and technology. Plus, they are the largest generation since the baby boomers. Their needs are interesting and unique, being so connected has changed how they shop. It's the perfect problem to solve.
Concept design by Lacey Campbell for Sauder Furniture.
T: What designers and materials inspire you?
LC: Charles and Ray Eames will always be near and dear to my heart. More recently, I'd say Nervous System. The work they are doing with kinetic 3D printing is amazing. I'm working with reclaimed materials right now, with the trend focus being on Industrial Chic. There are a lot of materials that inspire me, currently it's mixed materials like walnut and woven knits.
T: Describe the design scene in Toledo.
LC: There are great opportunities here as a maker and DIYer. The arts community downtown is growing and fostering the arts. I hope to own a warehouse downtown someday that can be made into 3D design studios, maker shops, residential living, community space and a local hangout. I have big dreams for Toledo.
Watch "Framework" Tuesdays at 10 p.m. to see Lacey in action.

What Is Global And What Is Local? A Theoretical Discussion Around Globalization
This paper develops a new sociological understanding of the difference between global and local relating to the phenomena of globalization. Globalization itself is redefined as one of society's self-description insofar as, following Niklas Luhmann's theory, society is conceived as a cognitive system that can only handle information (about the world, about itself) only through its own specific operation (communication), so that globalization affects society solely when the later communicates about the former. This effectively happens, it is argued, because communications about globalization convey an account of society's current state, i.e. a description of society within society, hence fulfilling the system's need for self-knowledge.

Released: Apr 01st, 1996
Running Time: 56
Director: Josh Eliot
Company: Catalina Video
Cast: Dane Tarsen, Mike Nichols, Brandon Wells, Justin Syde, Tony Brocco, Eric Marx, John Cruz, Kyle Brandon, Kyle Beardon
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
After a strong start, this oral feature stumbles across the finish line. Narrator Dane Tarsen is hard to understand, due to a thick Danish accent, as he presents the scenarios. Mike Nichols delivers quite a big package to mustached blond Eric Marx. They trade sizzling slurping and spurt hot two-camera cumshots. Next, Joe Romero and Kyle Brandon blow their boners into hot eruptions. Boyish brunette Justin Syde does a mild J/O and streaks a window with his jizz. Tony Brocco and pool man John Cruz have trouble getting rigid together. Tarsen suckles lover Brandon Wells' softie, then presents his huge uncut (mostly) swelled hose. Swallow should fit the bill for customers looking for nice oral-only action.

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a "Splurge" item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Arrant
If I had $15, I'd reverently pick up the big release of the week: the final issue of DMZ, #72 (DC/Vertigo, $2.99). Wood and Burchielli have done something special here, and I easily see the series taking its place next to Preacher and Transmet as Vertigo (and mature comic) staples. Next up I'd get a dose of a new Vertigo series, Spaceman #3 (DC/Vertigo, $2.99); Azzarello and Risso definitely zigged when most thought they would zag, and in this shaking off of the long shadow of 100 Bullets they've created something decidedly unique and spellbinding. Next up I'd get another DC book, this time All Star Western #4 (DC, $3.99); I've really enjoyed Palmiotti and Gray taking Jonah Hex into the big city here and opening up the world and heroes of these tumbleweed times, and I'm excited for the new back-up featuring a literal firebrand of a female. Finally, my last book on a $15 budget would be Avengers: Children's Crusade #8 (Marvel, $3.99); I could write a whole article on how the schedule's affected this book, but despite all that what we've got is a great story. Despite all the delays, I'm apprehensive about the final issue because it'll probably be the last we'll see of Allan Heinberg in the Marvel U for a long time.
If I had $30, I'd thank the yuletime gods and pick up the vibrant new issue of Haunt, #20 (Image, $2.99). I don't know what's in the water at Image, but they've orchestrated a series of recent inspired and left-field revamps of their books: Casey/Fox on Haunt, the upcoming Keatinge/Campbell on Glory, Graham/Roy on Prophet. Next up I'd get Top Cow's Artifacts #12 (Image/Top Cow, $3.99); I admit coming onto this series late, but thanks to a plush assignment I was able to tear through the past two years of Top Cow comics and found I really enjoyed their current event book. After I read and re-read that book, I'd get a double-shot of Marvel with Captain America & Bucky #625 (Marvel, $2.99) and FF #13 (Marvel, $2.99); love what the writers are doing here, but the recent choices by editors for their new artists have made both these books even more enticing for me. Juan Bobillo drawing Hickman's scripts on FF especially gives it a creepy vibe I'd love to see more of. Speaking of art, my final pick for this final week of the year would be the artistic tour de force of Flash #4 (DC, $2.99); Manapul and Buccellato are really showing their stuff, providing story to enable Manapul to do some of the most dynamic and heart-wrenching work of his career. In the back of my mind I'm worried what happens when Manapul needs a break from drawing: much like finding an appropriate artist for J.H. Williams 3 to rotate with on Batwoman, a suitable second for The Flash will be hard to come by.
My splurge this week is the under-the-radar collection Broadcast TV: Doodles of Henry Flint (Markosia, $19.99). I'd buy an art book by Henry Flint on face value alone, but from the limited previews I've seen of the book online it's something far, far more unique. These are off-hand doodles Flint's done in his spare time over the past five years, but I'm not talking about quick sketches: "doodles" as in ornate mind-benders where Flint literally doodled his heart out. Once I get this in my merry hands, I'll be going over it with a fine tooth comb, magnifying glass and anything else I can find.
If you've seen Jordan Crane's elegant webcomics hub What Things Do — or better still, if you're one of the lucky few who have a copy of his hand-silkscreened, die-cut, three-books-in-one anthology NON #5 — you know that the cartoonist behind Uptight and The Clouds Above is one of comics' best designers. But I think that with Keep Our Secrets, his new comics-style children's book for McSweeney's kids' imprint McMullens, the man has truly outdone himself. This sucker is partially printed in heat-sensitive, color-changing black ink that disappears when touched to reveal a picture hidden underneath. Check it out in the video above, as two adorable tykes help demonstrate. If I were a little kid, I think being able to touch a book and suddenly see hidden stuff appear — like an accordion stuffed with cats, say, or a guy with banana hands under his gloves — would be something close to magic.

Former Illinois wide receiver Arrelious Benn doesn't agree with ESPN NFL draft analysts Mel Kiper and Todd McShay.
Benn believes he will be drafted in the first round on Thursday; Kiper and McShay don't.
"Yeah, I feel I will end up going in the first round," Benn said on Wednesday. "I have a lot of confidence in myself. I put myself in a position to do it. The team has the say so. It's out of my control. I hope for the best."
Kiper and McShay believe it's more likely that Benn, a 6-foot-1, 219-pound wide receiver, will be selected in the second round on Friday. Benn is ranked the 36th overall prospect and the third wide receiver in the draft, according to ESPN Scouts Inc.
"It'll be a little bit disappointing if I'm not picked in the first round," Benn said. "There's a competition. But at the end of the day, I'm doing what I love to do. I'll move on.
"I've been dreaming about this since I was little. I was 6 years old. I'm going to continue working hard. It's just the beginning."
Benn is willing to go play anywhere, but he especially enjoyed his visit with the Denver Broncos, who have the 11th overall pick in the first round and 43rd and 45th picks in the second round.
"I really liked Denver," Benn said. "They stood out a lot. Hopefully they make a good decision and pick someone who can make plays for them, a guy who will give them everything they need.
"I'm a guy who's going to put on a hard hat, a guy who's going to be great on and off the field, a face-of-the-franchise guy."
Benn didn't have the junior season he had hoped for at Illinois. After catching 67 passes for 1,055 yards as a sophomore, Benn had just 38 receptions for 490 yards and was hampered by an early-season ankle injury.
Benn doesn't believe his junior season will affect his draft outcome.
"Stats don't make a guy," Benn said. "Teams know that. Everything I deal with at Illinois, teams know that. At the end of the day, you got to look at my body of work, what I did over the years, and who I did it with."
Benn plans to watch Thursday's first round with his family in Washington D.C.
"I'm not nervous right now," Benn said. "I know a team is going to make a good decision if they select me."

An on duty Neosho police officer received minor injuries in a two-vehicle crash Thursday morning near the intersection of Gateway Drive and Missouri Highway 86.
Riley Schroter, 17, was traveling southbound on Gateway Drive in his 1991 Dodge Dakota at approximately 7:30 a.m. Thursday morning, when he allegedly stopped at the southbound stop sign then pulled into the path of Officer Andrew Snider's patrol car, causing the two vehicles to collide.
Snider was transported by police car to Freeman Neosho with minor injuries, while Schroter reported head pain from hitting his head on the side window of his vehicle.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to the crash.

There are more than 550 miles of sidewalk in the City of Lansing. Although, by City Ordinance, property owners are responsible for maintaining their sidewalks, including snow removal and repair of the sidewalk, the City has historically taken the lead in repairing sidewalks. The City of Lansing is looking for ways to make sure sidewalks are properly maintained in the most cost effective manner and that residents are engaged in the process.
To report a sidewalk issue, please contact the Public Service Department at 517-483-4455.
There are several approaches to addressing sidewalk issues in the City:
- Gap Closure: The City developed a prioritization list (based on presence, or absence, of sidewalk or other pedestrian facilities on the roadway, the projected number of pedestrians the sidewalk will serve and the cost of construction), for closing gaps in the major street sidewalk network. Current funding allows the City to construct approximately 4,000 feet (¾ miles) of new sidewalk each year.
- Trip Hazard Repairs: Residents can call the Public Service Department at 517-483-4455 to report an issue with a sidewalk. An inspector will visit the site and, if appropriate, the City will install an asphalt wedge or overlay to address the issue until a permanent fix can be put in place. The cost for this temporary fix is not charged to the property owner.
- Cutting/Grinding: This process is used to create a smooth transition at the joint and eliminate the trip hazard. This technique is only appropriate for addressing tripping hazards where the sidewalk section is otherwise intact (not cracked or broken).
- Replacement: To address entire areas, the City manages one or more sidewalk repair projects each year, in which a very poor quality sidewalk in an area, including intersection ramps, are repaired. Sidewalk repair costs are generally split between the City and the property owner (50/50). Intersection ramp installation and upgrades/repairs as well as sidewalk damaged by City trees (those in the public right of way) are not assessed to the property owner. The City currently has funding to replace approximately one mile of sidewalk a year.
- Owner-Initiated Repair: A new approach the City is investigating is the owner-initiated sidewalk repair. With this approach, property owners wishing to repair their sidewalk, either individually or as a group can approach the City with this request. The benefit of this approach is that property owners can address sidewalk issues in front of their property without having to wait for the City to come into the area with a repair project.
The broadly followed order of events:
Step 1: Homeowner contacts City for a condition assessment of his/her sidewalk.
Step 2: City develops scope of work and determines homeowner's share of the work.
Step 3: Homeowner solicits a minimum of two bids for the work from qualified contractors (must be licensed, bonded and insured).
Step 4: City reviews bids and authorizes homeowner to proceed with construction. The relative cost shares are also established.
Step 5: City inspects formwork prior to placing concrete and follows up to document work and confirm proper restoration.
Step 6: Costs are allocated based on City/Property Owner share of the work determined in Step 4.
For questions and comments, or to report a sidewalk, please contact the Public Service Department at 483-4455.

Two Long-Distance Cruisers Find the
Upside of Downsizing to a Trailerable Trawler
Jim and Lisa Favors have been avid boaters beginning in the Great Lakes region for over 20 years before they bought a trailerable trawler. They spent the first year of retirement cruising the 6,000-mile Great Loop route on a 40′ trawler. One year turned into five years of cruising as liveaboards and another Loop trip under their belts. Their mission soon became a desire to share with others the joys of cruising USA and Canadian waterways.
"We want to help people discover this rewarding lifestyle! We're excited to continue our boating adventures on a trailerable trawler, Kismet, a Ranger Tugs R27."
Flexibility, mobility and affordability – trailerable boating is the wave of the future. We use our tug as an RV when traveling to a cruising destination, staying at RV campgrounds all over the country. With the flexibility of a trailerable trawler, one can travel all over the United States and Canada experiencing waterways unavailable to a bigger boat. Our initial concerns of downsizing were easily set to rest once we headed out on the water in our new and improved, Kismet" – Jim & Lisa Favors Read More

Publisher's Description
When your life is over, everything you did will be represented by a single dash between two dateswhat will that dash mean for the people you have known and loved?
As Joseph Epstein once said, We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents, or the country of our birth. We do not, most of us, choose to die. . . . But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live. And that is what The Dash is all about.
Beginning with an inspiring poem by Linda Ellis titled The Dash, renowned author Mac Anderson then applies his own signature commentary on how the poem motivates us to make certain choices in our liveschoices to ignore the calls of selfishness and instead reach out to others, using our God-given abilities to brighten their days and lighten their loads.
After all, at the end of life, how we will be rememberedwhether our dash represents a full, joyous life of seeking Gods glory, or merely the space between birth and deathwill be entirely up to the people weve left behind, the lives weve changed.

Dear Heloise: Would you please print the recipe for Heloise's Pistachio Ambrosia? I did cut it out, but I lost it. Thank you. - Helen, via fax
This is one of our most popular recipes. It's easy, quick and yummy.
1 (16 ounces) can chunky pineapple
1 (8 ounces) can crushed pineapple
1 small box instant pistachio pudding mix
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
12 to 16 ounces nondairy whipped topping (thawed)
1 cup miniature marshmallows
Combine the cans of pineapple (including the juice) in a medium bowl, sprinkle the pudding mix over the pineapple and let sit for a couple of minutes.
Gently fold in the coconut and nuts, and then blend in the whipped topping and marshmallows. Place in the refrigerator for at least two hours before serving. Enjoy. - Heloise
Dear Heloise: For your coffee recipes, I put the recipe on a 3-by-5-inch label and put the label on the outside of the container the coffee mix is in. I got tired of hunting for the recipe when it was time for a refill. I use empty, well-washed spice containers. - Rita Gagnon, Dover, N.H.
A quick sprinkle of nutmeg also will perk up regular coffee. - Heloise
Dear Heloise: What is the shelf life of cornstarch? The container doesn't have an expiration date on it. What is the best way to store it? - Janie Horton, San Antonio
Guess what? As long as cornstarch is kept dry, it has an indefinite shelf life. The best way to store it is in a sealable container, or a sturdy plastic bag. Isn't that nice to know? - Heloise
Dear Heloise: When I make bacon, I save two or three strips, cut them in half and roll each in plastic wrap and freeze. When I make green beans or anything that needs just a piece, I just take one out of the freezer and toss it in. - Alyssa Shaw, Columbus, Ohio
Dear Heloise: I once observed an adult as she opened a quart jar of mayonnaise, sniffed into it, closed the lid and replaced the jar back on the shelf. I, for one, would rather struggle to remove seals from containers than purchase a once-opened one that was touched by a stranger's nose. - Shirley Bauer, Black Hawk, S.D.
Oh my gosh. I guess this does give you another perspective on hard-to-remove seals - you do know for sure that the item has not been opened. I hope you made a store worker aware of the situation. - Heloise
Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or e-mail it to email@example.com.

Seems like when my friends and I cut down on meat, the first question is "but where do we get our protein?" I wanted to do a little research to make sure my family and I were getting enough protein. We still do some fish, local chicken and some (very little) grassfed/grass-finished beef, but the majority of our diet is from plants. I worry that I am not getting enough protein, but after some of this research, I think you and I are doing pretty well!
In America, there's been a trend since 1950′s where animal protein has increased. Back then, more than 40 percent of the protein in the American diet came from grains, bread, and cereal. Yet today, only 17 percent comes from these sources, along with another 15 percent from legumes, fruits, and vegetables, while two-thirds is from animal products. This trend, also happening in other industrialized Western countries, has been accompanied by a steady increase in heart-disease and cancer deaths.
Protein in the average diet has become excessive. The average American child's diet contains excessive protein, far exceeding the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) established by the National Research Council.
A 4-year-old needs about 33 grams per day;
a 12-year-old, 45 grams;
and an adult, 50-65 grams.
Children actually consume 50-60 grams and adults up to 100 grams, mostly from meat and dairy products. The rural Chinese adult diet consists of an ideal 55-60 grams, mostly from plant sources.
Of course, if you're doing intense workouts, you need to increase this by at least 20%.
There is much talk about "complete proteins". Most animal proteins are considered "complete". Basically, protein is made up of 22 amimo acids. Of the 22 standard amino acids, there are eight that the human body cannot synthesize from other compounds: we must get these directly from our diet, so they're called essential. The infamous eight are: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
If you're doing a plant based diet, don't struggle with combinations to create the complete proteins. Just enjoy a variety of fruits, grains, and veggies each day…as raw as possible…and enjoy the glow of eating well!
I am not a full-fledged vegan (yet), but here's a basic pyramid as a guide to plant-based eating:
Here are some plant based foods that contain lots of protein!
Soy Proteins and "Meats":
Veggie Burger – 51.4 g in 6 oz.
Tempeh – 41 g per cup
Plain soymilk – 11 g per cup
Edamame – 20 g per cup
Seitan – 19 g per 3 ounces
Tofu – 20 g per 1/2 cup
Fruits and Vegetables:
Peas – 9 g per cup
Cooked broccoli – 4 g per cup
Cooked spinach – 5 g per cup
Avocado – 4 g per cup
Orange – 1.7 g in 1 large
Banana – 1.2 g in 1 medium
Green Beans – 1 g in 1/2 cup
Carrots – .8 gram in 1/2 cup
Asparagus – 3.08 per 8 spears
Cauliflower – 2.28 per cooked cup
Kale – 2.2 per chopped cup
Beans and Legumes:
Mung beans – 23 g per cup
Black beans – 15 g per cup
Lentils – 18 g per cup
Split Peas – 16 g per cup
Kidney Beans – 15 g per cup
Green Peas – 8 g per cup
Nuts and Seeds:
Pumpkin seeds – 9.35 per ounce
Hemp seeds – 7.5 per 1/4 cup
Sesame Seeds – 7.5 g per 1 oz
Sunflower seeds – 6 g per 1/4 cup
Cashews – 5 g per 1/4 cup
Chia seeds – 5 g per 2 tablespoons
Flax seeds – 4 g per 2 tablespoons
Peanut butter – 8 g per 2 tablespoons
Almond butter – 7 g per 2 tablespoons
Sunflower seed butter – 5.5 g per 2 tablespoons
Baked red potato – 3 g per cup
Barley – 3.5 g per cup
Bulgur – 5.5 g per cup
Quinoa – 9 g per cup (COMPLETE)
Amaranth – 9.35 per cup (COMPLETE)
Oats – 6 g per cooked cup
Brown rice – 5 g per cup
White rice – 4 g per cup
Cooked semolina pasta – 8 g per cup
Whole grain bread – 7 g in 2 slices
As you can see, there is protein present in so many of the foods we consume and we don't even realize it!! If you're trying a pant-based diet, just focus on some of the more nutrient dense foods. While writing this post, I enjoyed a hand-full of raw pumpkin seeds! Enjoy your journey!!!

Talk:Chickenpox (South Park)
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
ookie-mouth in real life?[edit]
Looks like Ze Germans are taking this seriously... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) 16:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC).

another goof[edit]
When Kyle, Stan, and Cartman are on the way to Kenny's house and Cartman sings "In the Ghetto" Cartman does not have his sleeping bag but when they get to the front porch he has it.
Information on Different Herpes[edit]
There's a huge distinction between the chicken pox the kids go through and the herpes the parents later get. Among other things, chicken pox you (usually) get over, but herpes (e.g., in the form of cold sores) is incurable. I think this information is obvious to anyone who's generally familiar with infectious diseases -- but may not be obvious to many people who watch the show and/or read this article. Therefore I request some note to this effect put into the article. It might also be useful to have a note that it used to be common for parents to expose their kids (in particular to make sure the kids don't get chicken pox as adults, when it could make them sterile) but that now this is understood to be both unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Kilyle 15:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Unreferenced claims[edit]
Cites and/or relevance;
- This episode makes extensive use of The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" in the montage of Old Frida infecting everything with herpes and also in the ending credits.
- When the doctor is explaining to Stan's parents what will happen if Stan (who has contracted chicken pox) does not return to the hospital, the doctor tells them that "As he chokes for breath, the pox will move into his inner ear, making him think he's David Duchovny!".
- On the way to Kenny's house, Cartman sings "In the Ghetto" by Elvis Presley.
- In the shot of Kyle being the only student in class after Garrison concludes his lesson on how to tell a police officer from a prostitute, a still from the animated short "American History" (done by Trey Parker when he was in college) can be seen on the wall.
- After arriving at Kenny's house, Cartman wonders if they have a Nintendo system. Kenny's father states, "We don't have a Nintendo. We got a ColecoVision hooked up to the black and white TV"; to the puzzlement of his friends. Kyle went far enough as to say: "Oh my god, this is like a third-world country."
Alastairward (talk) 12:32, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Calamine lotion[edit]
Cartman used calamine lotion to treat the iching. It could be mentioned in the article. Coasttrial1 (talk) 22:21, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Warm Winter Dinner: Pasta with Make-Ahead Roasted Vegetables

Bewitched by Brussels Sprouts
Last week a friend and I were having a conversation about the Thanksgiving side dish we're most excited about making for the big day. My answer: Roasted Brussels Sprouts. I know. Many people's eyes glaze over when I tell them how much I adore the green, good-for-you veggie--they're thinking only of the tasteless, mushy blobs they were forced to eat as kids.
Delicious Nutritious Brussels Sprouts: Real Healthy
Like many of you, I was no fan of Brussels sprouts as a kid; they were invariably gray, mushy, and over-cooked. But they've since become one of my all-time favorite vegetables. Apparently I'm not the only one!
Healthy & Delicious Brussels Sprouts: Leftover Logic
Brussels sprouts are one of the best things about fall, mainly because they keep going in many parts of the country all the way into winter. And are they great! But, let's face it, these nutrition-packed "little cabbages" can be a bit of work to prepare.
Brussels Sprouts -- Easy Thanksgiving, One Recipe at a Time
Cute little Brussels sprouts look like miniature cabbages, taste great, and are packed full of Vitamin C. What's not to like? If you've only eaten overcooked, boiled Brussels sprouts, you might not like them as much as I do. And that's a shame, because they are one of the easiest vegetables to dress up without going to a lot of trouble.

Genre: Vignette
Everyone loves a massage, letting someone's hands work your entire body. And it's always easy to fantasize about a little more happening. Malibu Massage Parlor pampers big-butt women head to toe in an oil massage and gives guys happy endings they'll never forget.
The raw physicality and unflagging enthusiam that Evan Stone brings to his sex scenes finds another outlet here in the art of massage. In the opening scene of Malibu Massage Parlor, Stone's bravura body work is so evocative that female viewers may find themselves closing their eyes to better imagine his hands roaming across their bodies.
The formula concocted by director Jim Powers for these five scenes is straightforward and appealing. Some clients are drawn by a flier promising a free massage, others by the need to heal an injury—whatever the ailment, they get a facial thrown in for good measure. And no matter how the session begins, the ending is the same: happy.
The scene with Rose and Stone is long, intense and memorable, seemingly delivering as much pleasure as any one woman could endure. And though it doesn't reach the same level of fervor, Stone's session with slender, nubile Emma Mae also stands out; it ends with a cream pie in her tight young twat, after which Stone sets her back down on the massage table like a delicate little doll. And Jack Lawrence has great deadpan delivery as he takes liberties with client Kelly Divine. "This is the deep tissue treatment," he murmurs as he drives his rod up her pussy.
In addition, there's a scene with Ryan Driller working over Katie Summers, and one in which a chatty Nina Hartley rubs one out for Dane Cross. And the disc is generously equipped with extras: BTS, slide show and an option to view wall-to-wall.
