My wife got invited to the launching of @beyondtheboxph 's launching of Beyond comic book. I'm so happy for @sisigboy @harveytolibao and @manix_abrera collaborated on a book using iPad Pro. They are among my most favorite humans. I have been friends with Mervin for a long time. He gave me my first paid motion-graphic work almost 10 years ago. I have witnessed his struggle and I'm so happy that he is finally getting recognized through his work. I'm also very happy for @harveytolibao because his studio is finally producing their own story. I'm hoping that this could lead to more amazing projects. It's impossible not to root for this guy if you meet him ;) It was also awesome to hangout with Manix after a very long time. I met him trough my wife and I think he is the only one who ever visited in our first condo. I've been a big fan of his work and his humor. I love these guys to bits and I hope you could get a copy of their work at Asia Pop Comic Con. I am really considering getting an iPad Pro.
I always wanted to design a chair after I saw #konstantingrcic 's #chairone . I was in love with his design. My wife and I would often pass by @dimensioneph just to check it out. It's the one chair we promised to buy when we got rich. I watch a lot of his videos along with Ray and Charles Eames' . Had I watched any of their videos, I might have taken a very different path. I went to a technical vocational school and I majored in civil carpentry. It's funny how my goal then was just to sell my projects for around $25 . If you sold any of your piece during the foundation day , you will surely get a higher grade. We were taught a lot about craftsmanship, but I think it could have made a lot of difference if we were exposed to more modern designs. I made some designs that are heavily inspired by Konstantin Grcic that I just keep on my hard drive. This time I decided to design something that is polar opposite of chair one ... I call it "the chair" ;) I've been really obsessing about 3D printers for the past week. I watched a lot of YouTube videos in order to learn what is the best 3D printers out there. I've emailed a lot of them for collab but only one managed to get back to me who promised to put me on the wait list of their loan unit. So if you know any good 3D printer manufacturer who would be willing to collaborate with me ... Please tag them in the comments. I want to design something that will be hard to produce by traditional method. I realized that everyone is already doing the minimalist design. I want to create something that looks like a sculpture. I always attempt to create a looped design, something that has no beginning and has no end. I's also one of my obsession. As a kid I read about how Da Vinci was obsessed with Celtic knots. The article doesn't have a picture so I imagined what it's like to make something that you will not be able to tell which is the beginning and which is the end. If I have to shift career to furniture design in the future, I thought I should be doing something that hasn't been done before, otherwise what is the point? Also if you know anyone who could turn this into an actual product, please tag them below :)
So I've been wanting to make a Giger-inspired topography/typography pieces. I thought I could hack it using displacement maps that I made through #adobeillustrator. I was so hopefult because I already made a bunch of custom #illustrator brushes that mimics curved insets, but when I rendered it in 3D it's looking bumpy AF! Oh well back to the drawing board. I might have to learn how to do this in ZBrush. I tested it with letter S. It's ok in small scale but I want to make an actual 3d printed pieces.
@carligraphy made this video when I made an impromptu embossing for the people who went to @heykessy 's partey. I love black on black. I think this one I made for Gabie. The music is perfect for rainy afternoon. Man I just want to sleep today. Music: "Everyone is here, Where are you?" - Snow Fox Apprentice
My favorite color (or absence of it) . I used to buy all things in black. Not even that, I always have uniform. I am so clumsy and sometimes I would buy white shirts only to spill ketchup on it. I always end up wasting money buying white clothes. I always have uniforms. If I like something, I would often buy 3 pairs. I have 3 pairs of my favorite shirt and pants. And most of the time I buy things that are too identical. I don't want to spend so much time trying to make a decision on what to wear or what to eat. I can just eat spaghetti everyday. When my wife used to work in Indonesia, I would just buy a big order of spaghetti and just reheat it. I also like jumping from one topic to another. Like I just started to talk about black and I ended up talking about spaghetti, which is red. I also like red a lot :)
A there! Step 1: draw your shape with magic ink. Step 2: sprinkle it with fairy dust. Step 3: apply heat and wait for the magic to unfold. It's amazing that I get free art materials now. I can just make whatever I want without really thinking how much it would cost me. Life is good! Thanks @zigphilippines! I'd don't know how many fairies and unicorns you killed to make these magic art materials happen :)
Believe! I had loads of fun playing with this @zigphilippines emboss thingmajig. I believe in a lot of silly things growing up. We had a neighbor and they have this book from Reader's Digest called "Into the Unknown" . I first read it when I was around 9 years old. I was so amazed by all the mysteries that I read in that book. I remember they have this show called "Knowledge Power" on our local TV channel where the episode were lifted from the book almost page by page. The book became my bible. I swear my mom got really worried because it was also about the same time that I was an altar boy. One moment I was holding the Holy Bible, and then she would see me reading the book. I began to question everything. The book talks about magic, MIB, UFO abduction, pyramids, astral projection, witchcraft and a lot of amazing things. When I first learned learned how to use the computer, the first thing I asked Mr. Clip was if the magic is for real. Silly me I know :) I have so much faith on Microsoft to answer my questions. When I first learned how to use the internet, the first thing I researched was Men in Black, it was right about the time where they are showing the first Tomb Raider. I was so convinced that her enemies was the men in black, only to find out that there are actually a lot of mythical secret societies. I was wrong, it was the Illuminati, but who knows? Maybe they are one and the same. When I had my first work from home job almost 10 years ago, the first things that I bought were magic equipments :) I downloaded a bunch of magic tutorials. I would test my magic skills to my then 7 year old sister and would often get a very positive reaction. The first TV series that I downloaded where of X-files, Twilight zone, Outer Limits etc. I still believe in a lot of things. Believing in magic and mystery exercises the mind and trains your imagination. Even if most of the things that I read from my favorite book proved to be a hoax, I still believe in aliens and I want to live long enough to witness our first contact :) 👽👽👽 . How about you?

Fear regret more than failure. I've been seeing post on why you should not quit your job and do what you love. When I decided to to quit my job it's because l don't feel like I'm using my full potential. For 10 years that I have been working as a web-designer, I don't have anything that I can really call mine. It's like everything that I do is just a small part of something bigger. It's like those who sing national anthem on boxing events, yeah you sing very well but people are not really there to watch you. I'm pretty sure they would like it more if it's their concert. So that was me, I want to have my own concert :) I always feel like I can do more, and my fulltime job is preventing me from doing it. Almost 4 months ago my wife decided to quit her job to pursue arts. I have never seen her so happy. I am happy too because I don't want to hear her complain about work. For some reason, her decision to be a fulltime artist attracted more opportunities for her. When I decided to concentrate more on my personal projects almost 3 years ago, we were so afraid of our finances. Over time you develop a skill of not worrying too much and to trust more on your skill and karmic effect of the work you put out. When you put yourself on utter chaos, that's when you really see if you have what it takes. Other people wallow in self-pity, but winners hustle. When I started doing more of my personal project, my work from before doesn't really count. I can give a lot of names who makes far more better curves than me. Who chose better colors than me. The only thing I have really is passion to learn and I want something for myself. I would also admit that I don't really have people who are depending on me anymore other than my wife (who I also depend on). This could have been a lot harder if I have kids. So to those people who want to pursue this lifestyle, choose your priorities wisely :) I have met a lot of people specially women who regret not following their passion. I don't want that for my wife. So whatever we are doing right now is really just a preemptive measure to not live with regrets.
So the pen wasn't able to absorb the ink that I used last Saturday so I was asked to recreate it again. I used @origamidreamer 's Leather paint on this one. I think the paint will finally stick. Send private message to @thecuriousartisan to buy/bid for this pen. The proceeds of this one will be donated to charity.
I know a lot of people didn't like the film "Lucy" as much as I do. Luc Beson gave us "The Fifth Element", my most favorite movie of all time, so I would watch his movie even if it's about a guy watching a paint dry, out of gratitude :) What struck me the most was when Lucy asked Morgan Freeman about the meaning of life, and he responded by saying "to pass it on". I was so inspired by that quote that I vowed to share what I learned for the benefit of mankind, and hopefully have the time to do so :). I think we are all a protector of knowledge, and we have the responsibility to add to those knowledge to ensure the survival of our species. We have come a long way from being hunters and gatherers and our collective strengths has prevented ourselves from extinction. I don't really believe in patriotism. Any form of groupings, be it race, gender, religion, country etc. promotes division. It prevents people from sharing knowledge to those who are not part of the group. We are supposed to be stronger now because of all the knowledge that we have, but we are also still very fragile. If you elect a warmonger into power, suddenly all these accumulated knowledge will be gone in touch of a button. Someday we are going to be a super advanced civilization, I hope we can all say that we had contributed to a higher purpose. My most favorite people in the world are those willing to share their knowledge and who would only ask in return is just to pass it on.
Sometimes accidents do happen :) I don't want to throw it because this quote is really close to my heart. I'm a huge fan of the TV series Cosmos. I watched the entire new series 3 times now. I could have been a scientist had I watched this show as a kid. I remember telling one of my teacher when I was in elementary that I want to be a scientist but she responded with "what kind of scientist? Science is very broad and you are really bad in math". In college I was told by my physics teacher "how do you manage to cross the road without getting ran over by a car when you are really bad in Math?" In my head I was thinking, "well we have instincts which kind of like a natural calculator". I think science has the most interesting stories. I'm a huge fan of Joseph Fraunhofer, Michael Faraday and Nikola Tesla. All were born to poverty but managed to change their trajectory by asking the big questions. When Einstein talk of his genius, he rarely talk about math, but more about creativity and imagination. In high school my teacher in elective told us a story about when Thomas Edison was trying to find the material for the filament of a light bulb, he tested thousands of materials, even a bamboo fiber. I know it's a bad example because later on I found out that he's a hack. But every time I was trying to learn new stuff, I do the same steps hoping that I might stumble into the right filament. When I was learning how to code. I would study codes by removing one line of code and see what would happen. It's a time consuming task but it's nothing compared to Edison trying to find the right material for his light bulb. Sometimes I wonder that maybe a lot of humans are too jaded now because we don't look at the stars like our ancestors. We can just google what's out there and our stars are drowned by the city lights.
The reason why I demand a lot from people around me and people that I work with is because of this. How can you trust someone that they love you/something if they don't make an effort? I put more value in the quality of work more than anything else. The quality of work you put out shows how much you value something. I have seen people who succeed because of solid hard work. And that's what I aspire. To always make something that I will pour my heart into and let it speak for itself. This is also the reason why I always try to learn new things. Because once I master something, it becomes mechanical, there's so little work to put out, it becomes less consuming, it takes little love.
Thank you to all who greeted me on my birthday. This has been the best year of my life so far and it keeps on getting better. I'm so lucky that I have the most important thing in life that a man could have. I am pursuing my passion, I have friends who support my passion, an I am lucky that I have love to whom I share all these blessings. I can't thank you enough for being a part of this awesome life. I want to thank my friends and family who celebrated my birthday with me. I want to invite more but we have such a tiny house :) lastly, I want to thank my wife @origamidreamer for giving me all the love and support that I need :)
I'm lucky because I have an awesome dad. My dad has been working since ha was 11. I'm sure he was quite disappointed when he came back from working abroad when none of his boys knows how to work. I really hated it then when most of my classmates were playing and my younger brother and I were helping on the construction of our first talyer . Those were among the longest days of my life. One summer he's tasked us to make a bahay kubo on our yard. It was hard labor. You don't know how long it's going to end. You can't be on auto-pilot because it can get dangerous :) You just got to think one foot in front of the other, one step at a time. My dad doesn't really taught us with words but by showing us how to get the job done. He is a really good example. I didn't have a problem when I started working as a designer because I don't really consider it a big deal when clients ask for multiple revision and make that logo bigger while I'm inside an air conditioned room... I know what hard labor is and it's far from those... And it was all thanks to my dad. Talent can only get to you at a certain point but understanding how to really work makes a whole lot of difference. Few years ago my dad started to make skull rings when I picked up the same hobby. I realized that he could have also been an artist, but I'm sure he chose to provide for us and took all those passions on the backseat. We share some common passions and I am luckier that he provided me a life and experiences where I can really pursue these passions. There are only very few people that I try to impress and he is on top of that list. I'm very lucky to be your son and thank you for this awesome life that I am living.
Marhaban! So this is how you say "Hello" in Arabic. This was suggested by a friend who works in Qatar. It also occur to me that hello has many different translations in one particular language. So for this project, I'm choosing the ones that people normally use when they pick up the phone. I'm also inviting everyone to join this small project. tag me or use #hellography2016 so I can see your work. How about you? How do you say hello in your native tongue?
I'm starting a new series where I write the word hello in different language. I decided to write it in French because it's my favorite although I barely understand a word of it :) Let me know how you say "Hello" in where you are from. I'm also making very small pieces because my time is consumed by my other personal project. This is inspired by @origamidreamer 's @tinypostitstories
If only there's a card that I can give to my artful-payment-dodger clients. I just hate it when clients are like "we can't pay you yet because our client haven't paid yet". Well your client is not my client, you are. I also do app development on the side. I learned how to code not because I like to torture myself, but because I don't have the money to pay other developers. Whatever service that I don't have the money to pay for, I try to learn on my own. It's also about respect. A decent human being should not expect free labor from others. This experience really motivate me to finish my app, so I can make something that makes money on it's own and I don't have to work with people who has no respect for creatives. It's crazy when you have clients who expect you to submit on time but doesn't pay on time. This is why I really try to enjoy the process of making art. Because 50 percent of the time, asking for payment will give you a lot of stress afterwards.
Are you rich and wants this as a backdrop for your wedding? CALL NOW ! (We also accept Cristening and Birthday parties :)) On a serious note. This is one of my favorite project to date. It's been a struggle trying to deal with the client. I'm so used to clients that I don't have to meet in person. Local clients are still warming up to analog arts and it's hard to push for an artist's own style. I think it's still good because this can be done on a tarpaulin and they don't have to deal with hard headed artist like me. I haven't done a composition like this so it's hard sometimes to explain my vision to the client. My jeepney art last week also helped a little because that's where I got the idea of enclosing texts on minimalist frames, which not only made the execution of the details easier but made the overall design look modern. I am so used to doing my murals freestyle but this one I submitted 3 designs. One of which i thought was already good, but for some reason the client want more text. In the end we found a middle ground, or maybe there's no time left for another draft that's why they relented. Whatever the reason is, client is very happy. I still can't believe that I am doing murals on regular basis now. One of the very first artist who managed to impress me was this guy named Jovs who was doing murals of rennaisance artist on the walls of my elementary school. Most of the early decision I made back when I was a kid was patterned to this guy. I went to the highschool where he went because I want to be like that guy who made signages and murals from my small town. I have worked as a designer for over a decade but I managed to circle back to that one thing that I really want to do. Dreams do really come true! With that, I wish for you the same. May you have the opportunity to live your childhood dream. Today is a good day.
So on my last post I was asking for suggestions for phrase to write on the final frame. "Himig Natin" (Our Song) is a Filipino Song. The DJ was quick because he played the song while I was finishing this. He was also playing songs from Eraserheads and Apo Hiking Society the whole day. 2 of my most favorite band growing up. I know all the lyrics to their song by heart. This phrase was suggested by one of my very first local design idol @jlucasreyes . I saw this his work on a design competition that I also joined back in college. He is one of people that I admire where every once in a while I would google to see what they are doing now. This is very nostalgic not just because of the message of the song but it reminds me how my work were able to connect me with people I admire. I'm not really the type who would bug my idols so they would notice my work. I admire my idols in silent . I only have 2 factors when I choose my influences. 1 work an 2, character. I don't follow famous people who are dicks. It was amazing that my type work led to collaboration with people that I respect. One of the joy of having this social account is somehow people that I look up to were able to find my work. You just don't know how many times I woke up my wife when only to show her that one my idol is following me :) So kids, if your idols didn't follow you back, don't fret. Keep improving your craft. And one day, luluhod ang mga tala :)
Almost done! Good thing they put a red carpet. I was mopping the floor with my pants yesterday. I'm getting used to this live painting thing. I made this in the middle of the mall with the most foot traffic. The client wanted to incorporate a lot of illustration but I decided to fill it with dots :) I mean how am I going to make a nipa hut work with this layout? Now what to put in that final square?
I'll be painting in tandem with @battery_full this week for @nayongpilipinoofficial . I hope to see you there on May 28-29. I'm always intrigued every time I read about Nayong Filipino in books while growing up. I'm excited to be a part of this effort. I can't wait to collaborate with my art friends and hopefully we can bring new life to this park. I'll be giving away some artworks and art materials to help promote this event. To qualify you only need to do the following: 1. follow @Parkfest_ph on IG and FB 2. repost this photo and tag 3 of your friends! 3. Don't forget the hashtags #ParkfestPHGiveaway and #ParkfestPH. Please make sure your account is set to PUBLIC so we can check all those who joined.
So let me tell you a story about power. Back in high school we had this terror English instructor. Terror is an understatement because you can be terror and not be a total d-bag. But this guys is both :) I hated him so much that I also hated my english subject. This guy would play this game where someone who is good on his subject would get the front seat. If you failed to answer his question, you move one seat farther and at the same time he would embarrass you in front of the class. Everyone tremble at his presence except me, I guess I got so used to his words and I was the first student he punished when he caught me giggling with my seat mate. He ordered me to do a squat on top of my chair. Any embarrassment after that feels normal to me :) I remember one time I got even when somehow he steered on the topic where he criticized Gay Santacruzan (google it) which he called "Hermaphrodite Santacruzan" I laughed because hermaphrodite and gay are not the same and I corrected him in front of the class. Yeah he's the type who would use big words that he doesn't even understand to further his homophobia. That puts me on his crosshair but it was worth it. This guy was also our school Commandant. Prior to him being a Commandant, the school never won at any school competition in fancy drill. Our school was so small that even freshmen were forced to join the CAT so he can complete his platoon. I would admit that it was fun when we won the competition because we were a total underdog. At one point we even borrowed rifle from a competing school, which they lent because the never thought that we would beat them. I joined the officership because the girl I like back then joined too. Suddenly most our senior officers, boys who I grew up with, went to boyscout with became d-bags like the commandant. Until now it left such a bad taste that I question why the rest of the faculty turned a blind eye. Half of my batch mates has fond memories of winning in these competition. If you were to ask me, yeah we won a lot of awards, but it's a chapter of my life that I don't mind skipping. Multiply this experience a hundred times, then you can call it Martial Law.
If I was Oscar Wilde, I'll have the wildest signature, geddit? ;) I was trying to figure out how to mix handwriting with pre-rendered types. It took me a while to code the feature that turns drawings into Bezier paths. Through this method, I can control the speed of the animation. You will also notice that the type has quite little variations on similar letters, mimicking actual hand-writing. I'm also trying to figure out how to implement preset animations, but for now I'm happy that I was able to figure out the write-out effect(which @origamidreamer call "the disappearing act")
Last year I had a very bad health scare. I thought I lost the ability to sleep because I wake up 10 times at night. I have sleep jitters and sleep apnea and I would often wake up gasping for air. I was so sure that I would not last long. And being a developer, my first thought was to create an app that mimics my habit when I do my lettering. I'm super close to finishing my app. My only problem now is how to improve the UX. It's extra hard for this app because it has layers and it should also support mixing typography styles. I want the app to be a mass-market app and not just a designer app. There are still few glitch but I think I'll be able to launch it very soon. This app is a combination of a lot of skills that I gained in the past. It still has some glitch on 1080p videos but I think it kind of give it more of those. "Indie film" vibe. I learned how to create fonts and pushed my coding skills while working on this project. There are time that I'm close to giving up because of some features that still doesn't exist, only to find it on new iterations of iOS. This is part passion and part mission. I somehow believe that nobody will try to do this unless I do :) I know people will be okay with text that fade-in and fade-out, but not me. I want it to write :) I want that when robots learn to write, they would use my writing sensibility :) They would flourish the way I do my flourishing. Crazy I know, but in the world where people are doing almost the same thing, this is my attempt on a contribution to the human race. My attempt for my work to outlive myself. I want to open a shop inside the app where artist can sell their artworks as backgrounds and hopefully in the future invite other typographers to create animated fonts. I want to collaborate with mathematicians in the future to help me with the auto layout and auto flourish feature. I don't own the image, I used some of those cool wallpapers to test the app, so if you own it please let me know so I can properly credit you.
I'll be at the Zig Pen Meet Cebu tomorrow. I'm excited to see our Cebu friends. Check out @zigphilippines for more details! Cebu is definitely one of my favorite place to visit. I made a lot of friends there over the years. I'm also super excited to see @janooooot @ajteee @chan.cane and @hvnsoy . Please don't hesitate to say Hello!
Gawa Hindi Puro Salita (Deeds Not Words) in modern #baybayin, the pre-colonial writing sytem of the Philippines. I made this piece for an art exhibit. We were asked to write a message for the Philippines. I think it's quite fitting since it's almost election. I'm voting for the man of action :) The style is also quite representative of my country which is an archipelago (meaning cluster of islands :) It made it harder for us to be conquered, but I guess it also made it hard for the leaders of the country to manage it. Not to mention that we also have hundreds of local dialects. We have neighboring town in the province that uses different language that until now I wasn't able to learn. I used 300gsm Arches watercolor paper that @lifeafterbreakfastph gave me on this one. It is the best paper that I used so far! Hello @ifexph , sponsor me? :D I also want to add that it's so hard to find the perfect paper here. I had to dig through divisoria to find the best construction paper because the big stores just doesn't sell it.
I was saddened when I heard about the news of Zaha Hadid passing. Part of the reason why I was doing papercuts for the past week is to create something that could exist on her universe. Most of my personal projects are inspired by people that I want to collaborate with. I even have a plan on how I could get her to collaborate with me. I would make more art like this. Start out on paper because it's the cheapest. Maybe I can sell few pieces then later on I would do this in plywood and lasercut. Since I am back at using wood again, I can start with furnitures. Maybe she'll see my work and comission me to make some for her architectures :) Silly I know, but a man can dream ;) I have been a fan of her for a long time but it was only around 2 years that I was really obsessing about it. I have a huge pinterest catalog of her work. I even tested a game that has parametric elements. I first learned about her when I was in second year college. I was taking Engineering then and thought it was late to shift course. I would often fantasize that maybe in a parallel universe I am an Architect working on her company. I would have braved the maths needed to graduate as an Architect. I always like the word Architect. I like her work even more. It looks like it's inspired by design that you can see in nature but without the chaos. Rest in peace Zaha Hadid.
Version 2 of Craft. I bought a frame today. This has around 9 layers of papers now. I added thin layers of black lines on top of the dark violet layer. I changed the blue and pink layer to a more vibrant color. I always try to perfect every detail of my work. It's been habit ever since I was a kid. It's ok if you have a deadline because you have no choice but to finish something even if it's not perfect, but for projects without deadline, you'll spend a lot of time iterating. I remember my drawing teacher back in highschool would always give me a disappointed look everytime I would submit late. He knew that I finished around five of my classmate's project, but he was baffled why I would submit late. I would say that because the previous ones has errors. He would motivate me to submit on time by saying that he would give me the best in arts awards in both artistic and mechanical drawing if I submit on time. But I never really care for man-made awards :) What's important is how I perceive my work. People would say that small errors are hardly noticeable and it's just ok... But still I know it's there. I think as long as we know that we can do better (which trust me is always the case), we should not settle for anything less.
Recently I've been invited to judge the Adobo Design Awards. I keep on hearing 2 particular keywords "craft" and "encourage". These two word reminded me why I pursue a profession in design. Before I am designer, I am a craftsman first. I've been doing crafts even before I know of the words "art" and design" . I went to a technical-vocational school in highschool and we were taught a lot of skills in craftsmanship. It's the kind of school where parents who can't afford to pay for college send their kids. We did everything from basket weaving, cross-stitching, dress-making, sculpting, welding , t-shirt printing and drafting. You will be a big disappointment if you are not skilled with your hands. More so in my family because both my parents never graduated from college and learned to fend for themselves at a very young age. My most fond memory with my dad is when I visit our machine shop during weekends and he would encourage me to build something. I would make mechanical retractable claws inspired by Wolverine, balancing wire sculptures, mechanical eraser inspired by Men in Black, which eventually I find out was actually inspired by Dr. Who. He would even ask me to design some of his client work. Even as a grown up, most of my personal project are basically grown up versions of what I create as a kid. I am driven by my passion for crafts. I am thankful that I am surrounded by people who encourage me to follow my passion.
So I finished working on this papercut. It was inspired by word that I keep on hearing when we judged the Adobo Design Awards Asia. I was so lucky that I got to observe how @sandoz head the jury. I learned a lot and was very inspired by the rest of the Jury. I got to meet @leighpod in person. I never really had a mentor. I could have been an ad man had I met her early in my career. She is definitely one of the most inspiring creative I have ever met. For some reason I have accidentally unfollowed you, probably one of those momement when I was scrolling my feed. I also got to meet @melvinmangada , now I know why he is one of the top Creative Directors out there. It's very rare that I feel so amateur but it was an awesome experience nevertheless . So about the artwork, I had fun doing it but I'm not really keen on the end result. It looks better in person but I have yet to lit this proper to enhance instagramability. I think I rushed some of the part. I really want to finish this as fast as I can to see if it would work. Thank you @angeladobo for inviting me!
I made this logo for @arnoldarre 's book After Eden. I like working on projects for people that I really like. Arnold is one of the nicest creative out there and I have been a fan of his work for a long time now. You can pre-order the book at www.chambershell.com today. Follow @afteredengraphicnovel for updates.
Welcome to another edition of Fun with #AdobeIllustrator. Today I will be teaching you how to make those sweet smooth curves. Step 1: Double Click on the Paint Brush tools. It will show you the Paintbrush tool option. Check the "Keep Selected" Option and "Edit Selected Paths". This will keep the last path you draw selected. Step 2: Use the Paintbrush tool or press "B" key (Always memorise shorthands) Step 3: Choose a calligraphic brush on the Brushes panel (hit F5 if the panel is not visible). You can use any other brush but calligraphic brush seems to be the one that doesn't cause a lag. Step 4: Draw something (of course :)) Step 5: Select the already drawn lines. Once selected it will show you the nodes(it's those tiny yellow boxes on this video). Brush those nodes. You immediately see that it already smoothens out those rough curves. I call this step "Massaging the line". Always remember to select the line first, or else the spell won't work ;) Step6: Try to zoom-in/zoom-out on your drawing. It's easier to smoothen big curves when it's on smaller scale and easier to add more details when it's bigger. Step7: Enjoy! Have fun massaging those lines! #goodtype #calligraphy #lettering #adobe #illustrator #typegang #typeverything #hellokitty
I want to devote this year on making 3d pieces. This would be much easier if I only have a @glowforgelaser (hint hint :) . So instead of diving right in, and because this piece will consume a lot of time, i tried to make a proof using #adobeillustrator first. I'm preparing my hand and the house for yet another mess :) The inspiration of this is unicorn's vomit on a termite's nest :)
I made this yesterday while listening to the talks at Calligrart Fair. I must say that I still got it. I remember spending a lot of time trying to master X-acto knife. I remember the first time I started playing with a scalpel when I was in grade 4. I almost cut one of my fingers because I was copying a scene from Aliens :) My mom was a member of a co-op and one time she volunteered to be the one in-charge of printing the flaglets. I was in grade 5 then and I don't know why my mom would think that I know silk screen printing, but I don't blame her because I am always confident that I can do just about anything. I remember failing so hard at making stencils the first time. I already used up all the green films but I still wasn't able to make it stick to the cloth. I was using lacquer thinner and it always burn the film and the tip of my fingers. I can still remember liking the smell of lacquer thinner :) I always imagine myself dying because I inhaled a lot of harmful gases trying to work on projects. I remember that I ended up using the film that we used to have to cover our old TV as a stencil and somehow I was able to print the name of the co-op to those flaglets. It was the first time I ever felt real stress. I think cutting stencils is the very first useful skill that I got to learn. I also learned silk-screen printing very early. I can still remember the times that I get in trouble with my mom because I'm always making a mess. And don't get me started on how I learned photographic printing. Now you can learn everything on youtube. Before you have to fail so hard in order to learn something :) I cant wait get rich so I don't have to worry about money and I can just spend the whole day cutting papers.
I made this mural for @zigphilippines Calligrart Fair yesterday. The inspiration was @underarmour 's new tagline. I saw a video of @m_phelps00 's training a day before, and I can say that I can relate to his passion. I put the same effort on my craft like an athlete. I am lucky that I get asked to do a lot of murals these days. I use it to explore new styles and to hopefully open doors to new collaboration. I think most of my work are very personal and selfish :) I make things that personally make me happy. Sometimes my happiness intersect with other people's happiness, but at the end of the day the goal is to follow my passion and to be authentic. That is why I like this new campaign of Under Armour so much. It would be awesome to make something for @underarmour . #ruleyourself
I'm celebrating the birth of my wife @origamidreamer today. I think having you in my life is my greatest accomplishment. You are the best. I still can't believe how I can be so lucky. You are the most pleasant person I know. You always cheer me up. You always have a smile on your face when you wake up. I always say that you are a better person than me. You keep me grounded and inspired. I can't wish for a better life and it's all because of you. I love you!
If there's one show that you have to go to in Manila, it's @galaxie88 's first solo show entitled "Bad Dates and Brave Freaks" this Sunday at Ronac Art Center in Ortigas . I think she is one of the most talented artist I know. I witnessed how she struggled to pursue her passion for arts. I am so happy that she is finally having her show. I have huge respect for people who chose to follow their passion and risk everything. It can get really really hard and people don't really understand why you choose to be broke than have a fulltime job :) It takes a different kind of courage specially for those who are not living off trust funds. Sometimes it's really hard to even work if you consistently worry about making rent and paying the bills. I consider it a huge success once someone overcome all these hurdles. Cancel eveything tommorow. See you there!
Made this name for this little girl during @nbsalert 's love calligraphy event last weekend. What a cutie! The Calligraphy crowd in Manila is getting younger. Made using @zigphilippines 's Artist Twin Brush pen. Eanna also showed me some of her work and I was really impressed. I can't wait to see where she is going to take her craft. It's always an honor to be a part of these events and to be an inspiration to the younger generation. I want to thank @zigphilippines for pioneering this sort of event that shines the light to other calligraphy enthusiast.
It's the first time that @origamidreamer and I are busy on Valentines day. We were approached by different people for this project. We are not even aware that we are working on the same project becuase I was commissioned by @bucketfeetph . I don't really ask a lot of things when I work on a project except for the basics (dimension and concept) . If it's a group exhibit, I don't want to know who else are contributing prior to the launch so it would not affect my work. I was surprised that some of my friends are also involved. I was really proud of my wife during the launch because some artist were asked to create 10 small hearts to be given away to the press. Her work were the ones that people picked first. It's been a struggle for her to have this art thing going. I want to thank @kayocosio for getting her involved. I am twice as happy when I see my wife super excited on the project. I am a big fan ever since and you can see some of her influence on my work. I am also very thankful for @bucketfeetph for providing food and transportation. You must have heard how crazy the traffic is in Manila and I would just choose to stay at home all the time :) I also want to thank @iloveayalamalls for organizing this event. @origamidreamer and I are loving these big artworks. We would love to create more. If you want something made with passion, don't hesitate to email us. I want to thank everyone for supporting my work. You guys make me look like a totally legit artist that people are actually paying me for my "art" :) #lovemall #lovemhearts #LovemConnections #Lovemexpressions #iloveayalamalls
I stopped doing the artwork at 1am. Stopped becuase I don't think I ever finish a project :) i feel like an artist today. I only made a sketch on around 1/4 of the artwork. The rest I have to trust my hand. I always envy my wife because she draws with passion while my work always feel so calculated. I want to thank my team for today. Ms. Thea of @bucketfeetph and @origamidreamer . I want to thank my friends who dropped by to say hi brought foods. I love you all and I thank you for supporting my art. And lastly, my wife @origamidreamer for being so supportive and proud of what I do. She have to paint a 12ft. Heart tomorrow but she stayed until I have to submit :) I love you and I can't wait to see what you will create tomorrow.
Hidden within these artwork are names of my wife. First 3 that can send me a picture of the name(s) in private message will get a framed hand-lettered name along with their significant other. Post a selfie with the heart using #LovemConnections #Lovemexpressions #iloveayalamalls #lovemall #bucketfeet #lovemhearts . I will announce the winner on Monday. Let's see if @bucketfeetph and @alabangtowncenter can give some incentive :) Note: The names are not visible in the picture. You have to see it up close IRL.

Dear Marc, thank you very much for this excellent House in Miami. This house is located in a very nice neighborhood with directly access to a small river. We had some nice evenings - made BBQ with this good grill, having fun in the pool and in the own Jacuzi. The furniture is very good and high quality and there is all you may need in the house already. We would book your House everytime again...next year we will have a Miami visit in the same time and look forward to book your house again in Dec 2016. We can recommend your house and the very good communication and best service on site to all Windu Members! Thank you very much, Marc!
The house was very nice and in a quiet neighborhood. Not a ton of stuff in the area so I would definitely recommend having a car. Miami Beach is approx 20 min drive. We had a wonderful time and the realtor was very kind to accommodate our late arrival and crazy schedule.
A few things that I feel could be improved on:
We rented the house for the back yard and it was a bit messy upon arrival. Some trash in the yard, grass needed to be cut and there were beer cans / cigarettes left around the jacuzzi.
The jacuzzi was not set up once we arrived so we spoke to the realtor the following morning and she arranged to have it cleaned and ready. Unfortunately, the guy that did this didn't make it to the house until around 7:30pm on our 2nd day. We were out to dinner and when we returned he had prepped it as promised, but not turned it on. It takes about 4 hours to heat up so we had to wait to use until the 3rd day of our 4 day trip.
By no fault of the company, but the next door neighbors were gone for the weekend and their German Shepherd barked all hours of the day and night until the last day of our stay when they returned home.
Finally, no one told us we needed to provide our own supplies. If you are staying for only a short time (less than 2 weeks) you are made to supply items that I am used to receiving from other vacation rentals...such as toilet paper. Just be prepared and bring it with you.
Again...we enjoyed our stay and would rent the house again. Great for families or large groups.

Slow Food: Learn to Love Leisurely Dining
Replace mealtime meltdown with relaxation
By Pamela Donegan
Reviewed By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD
To the uninitiated, "slow food" sounds like the punch line to a joke about tardy pizza delivery. But slow food is no joke. It's an international movement devoted to sustaining the environment, promoting cultural diversity, and preserving "endangered" local cuisines.
The slow food movement also has a more down-to-earth mission: to teach people to appreciate the taste, presentation, and preparation of food and drink, while taking time to enjoy life with family and friends.
"Our objectives are simple," says Cerise Mayo, program director for Slow Food USA. "Enjoy what you eat. Come together and savor the pleasures of the table while taking the time to learn where your food comes from so you can experience it in a new way."
Whether or not you agree with the movement's political agenda, nutritional experts who spoke with WebMD say most everyone can benefit from slowing down the pace at mealtimes. Taking the time to savor lovingly prepared food in the company of friends and family is good for your outlook -- and maybe your waistline as well, they say.
The Movement's Beginnings
As the name suggests, slow food is intended as an antidote to fast food. The movement's founder, Italian gastronomist and journalist Carlo Petrini, wrote "The Slow Food Manifesto" in 1986 to protest the opening of a McDonald's restaurant near Rome's famous Piazza di Spagna.

The stage is now set for Denis "Son of Drago" Grachev to battle Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez for the super middleweight "Million Dollar Super 4" crown. Each fighter claimed respective victories earlier this afternoon at the Salle des etoiles in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
Grachev (13(8)-1-1) of San Diego, CA by way of Chaykovsky, Russia earned a split decision win over previously undefeated and former light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion Zsolt Erdei. Denis gained boxing notoriety last year when he scored an eighth round TKO victory over Ismayl Sillakh in Austin, Texas.
Grachev and Rodriguez were participants in the undercard of today's Gennady Golovkin versus Nobuhiro Ishida contest in Monaco.
Edwin Rodriguez (22(15)-0, Worcester, Massachusetts) prevailed over Ezequiel Maderna by way of unanimous decision despite having two points deducted (low blow in round eight and a blow behind the head).
Denis Grachev and Edwin Rodriguez will return to Monaco to face off on July 13 in the Super 4 Final.

This is something I'd like to be able to do in general, however, here is an example using the Featured Content Gallery.
I placed this line of code in the right spot of my template's index.php file:
<?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
(shows the gallery)
I know the WP funtion/logic to use:
But, I don't know how to combine them to say:
If the user is not logged in, then show the gallery.
I could try to do something like this:
$RandomNumber = rand(1, 2);
if ($RandomNumber == '1') {
echo 'The number was 1';
} Else {
echo 'The number was 2';
and try to say if user not logged in, then string, if not, then do nothing...or, can I somehow only tell the include statement to include, if the user is not logged in.
Assistance would be warmly appreciated, and I am willing to plow through some tutorials too...as long as they take me to the right goal :-)

I have told Dave I would send him a care package when he's deployed.
For those who've never been in the military, receiving mail alone, and especially goodies, is a high point beyond description. It is a piece of the "real world" back home.
Having done this for US military personnel, the shipping fee is minimal.
It is another matter sending to a (here it is a APO/FPO address) foreign country as they/I do not get the benefits of regular mailing price to a US command.
Is there anyone here from the UK to which I could send monies (paypal or you name it) and you would purchase/ship to Dave. He could easily receive twice the goodies if I'm not paying $50-100 to ship $20 worth of care.
I'll provide the list, you can add as you see fit (with OK from me - I'm not buying Dave a camel or camel toe).
PM me please if you're interested. Otherwise, I eat the shipping (you cheap bastards) (-;

First, in the San Diego airport before the flight to Las Vegas, the woman at the baggage check-in counter was EXTREMELY unfriendly and rude and did not smile once or offer ANY ounce of appropriate customer service. When we walked up to the counter to check our bags, she offered no pleasantry or greeting, not even a simple hello before quickly telling us that our suitcase was overweight and we needed to take things out of it, even when I asked about paying an additional cost for the overweight bag. I have been on PLENTY of other airlines that offer an additional fee for heavier bags, and do not make their customers stand in the middle of the airport emptying their personal belongings and stuffing them into any open pockets and containers they have. It was humiliating. Still, not even a smile from the woman at the counter.
During the flight from San Diego to Las Vegas, the airline staff (flight attendants and even the pilot!!!) were EXTREMELY unprofessional. I can expect a small amount of joke-telling from the flight attendants, but during the safety procedures and explanations, is not ok. And, it is DEFINITELY not ok (nor does it make me fee very safe) to hear the pilot join in on the joke-telling from the c**k-pit. This does not seem like a very professional or even safe way to run an airline.
On the flight back to San Diego, our plane was delayed 5 hours!!!!! I can understand a slight delay, even 1-2 hours, but 5 entire hours is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. What made matters worse, was again the ATROCIOUS customer service. The woman at the counter when we checked in for our flight an hour early did not even offer a reason for the delay (which at the time was only supposed to be 1.5 hours) or as much as an apology. Later while waiting for the flight to arrive, other passengers said they were given vouchers to purchase food, but we were not even offered ANYTHING, not even an apology! The delay required us to purchase food that we had not planned on spending or budgeted for, as well as a cab fare home because our ride was not able to pick us up so late at night because of the 5 HOUR delay.
Because of these HORRIBLE experiences, I will NOT be returning as a Sprit customer. Additionally, I have already started and will continue to tell everyone I know that Spirits low prices are NOT worth the HORRENDUS service they provide.
I have contacted Spirit Airlines on several occasions by email and phone to voice my complaints and have only spoken to people in other countries. Every time, there has not been one satisfactory answer or response to my complaints. I was refused a refund for the $60 I paid to join their fare club, as well as any reimbursement for ANYTHING, including the food and cab fare I was FORCED to pay due to the 5 HOUR delay. I have received nothing but empty apologies and no action, especially from the so-called customer relations representative, Mindy 63133 by email.

AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, October 27, 2011POSTED: Thursday, October 27, 2011
Perhaps the people that got meal vouchers got them because they were professional when they complained. Or is it a case where you didn't even ask and figure the voucher fairy would come around and give you a voucher?
I don't mean to make light of this but this airline is not known for it's customer service. The only reason(IMO) people fly it is because it is cheap because they are willing to accept that in exchange for less customer service.

Books I Wish I Wrote: On Writerly Jealousy 6
I'm jealous of every writer who's written a feature for The Atlantic and of every Paris memoir that's ever been published, especially the ones that involve a lot of food. I am full of unthinkable jealousies.
A Year in Reading: Margaret Eby 0
It's a fascinating piece of work, bleak and weird and unafraid to question the assumptions of American mythology.
A Year in Reading: Jaquira Díaz 1
I finished it and then texted a bunch of friends to tell them about it and then immediately re-read it because DAMN it was just that good.
A Year in Reading: Meaghan O'Connell 0
My initial reaction was something like, "What is this shit, enough with these dolls!" But then I got sucked into what was one of the most satisfying reading experiences of my life.
A Year in Reading: Leslie Jamison 2
The book made me feel -- in the smartest, most graceful way -- like it was a lantern held up to deeply interior recesses of my own soul.
A Year in Reading: Haley Mlotek (The Hairpin) 0
I read and re-read my favorite books like it was a guilty pleasure, ashamed to be shunning all the new books that had come out, books that probably would've expanded my worldview or taught me something useful, but fuck it, Ali Smith gave me permission to take some time to understand the book in front of me.

I spent July 23rd going to local trans shops for diagnosis, and found out that the parts I bought couldnt cause this problem and the other part they suggested wouldnt fix it either, that the problem was internal (3 shops( 2 local 1 online)).
On Jult 25th I told Josh ( the sales manager) what I found localy and asked him if he was intrested, Hew said that they dont call people at that point the convessation went down hill,So from the 6th till the 25th was just a run around with these guys ie having me purchase other parts and advising me of other parts not ruturning call or emails. [continued below]....
One of the questions I had for Josh was Why he with held valuable warrenty info at point of sale.
This whole ordeal would not have happened if he had given me this info at point of sale and they would have had another chance at it
on Augest 8th i called and left message for shipment instructions . no return call. On the 9th I called again at 9am and left message at 4:30 pm I called again, this time I was informed that it was going to cost $350 for shipping prepaid ( wich there warrenty states that they pay shipping). On the 12th Josh called me and wanted to now what I wanted to resolve this issue. I told him to come get hes tranny and refund money. he said he will get back with me in 24 hrs again. I told him he had till 5.
This was the only day that i had a way to get tranny from my shop 10 miles away to a tranny shop and give them 1 week to fix befor I return to work on August25
What the tech found when he tore tranny down for estement was not what I wanted to hear, monster had used worn out parts and bad hard parts that caused this tranny to fail with >50 miles on it. they used infearior parts for a performance build that this tranny would never hold up to 400 horses let alone the 650 that they advestise ( this was supposed to be a $1800 performance tranny compared to what a stock 700R4 would cost $700)
I do have picturse video and testamony from tech who has rebuilt trannies for 30 yrs who does trannies for a major stero manufacture here localy and for a car builder whos cars have been showcased in magivines scence the 70's
Repair bill to bring this tranny to the standereds that monster promissed is at $1390 + $350 R&R+ plus $300 for another new torque, because this one is now full of Monster junk.
You should always replace new TQ with new tranny. My TQ was new from TCI a very reputable TQ manufacture.

So lets begin with a question.
Have you ever had somone you despise so much that you would like to destory them to thier fundemtal atoms there are made of and erase thier existence from fromt he universe? no? me neither, till i watched this show.... Now i don't want to come of as negative and I didn't go into this show hating, actually I quite liked the first episode but then our main protaginsist started to speak.... gosh what a mistake, I would have gladly stopped right there and preserved my good impressions about the show before our protagist opened his mouth and we had to listen to the mindless drivel that spewed from his mouth, If this show was redone without our "heroic" protagonist I think the show might have actually lived up to at least half of the animation it managed to get, I really want to march into thier studio and ask what the hell they were thinking when they gave this show shuch awsome animation, anyway onto my review.
If we just focused on Gai and co. I think the story would have been awsome but nope couldn't do that could we..... so i have to do a mix in so this doesn't score as strongly as it should have done. i really like taking over the world and rebllion stories but it doens't feel good when one of the secret wepons is in the hands of annoying boy who can't decide whether to take the right way to school or the left and his testosterome levels would be lower than evey girl in the series and a mouse would have alot more courage. I heard from some people that this is suppose to have a higher priority on romance well let me tell you somthing, the romance isn't intresting at alllll, you may sa that's becaus i'm a guy well no, I do read shojou manga to as well so you can't say that I don't get it. well main point is that the main point is suppose to be intresting and it wasn't so, I demand more action, but i guess that's impossible now. Well in the parts ingoring Mr. stupid and the aprts where i was unconious in a pool of my own blood (explained later ) it was okay...
Nothing much to say here amazing but wasted on a waste of potential of a anime.
Good but what's up with the nice music IN THE WRONG PLACE? i didn't get it did they get the timing of???
Most our char development goes on around Mr. Guillible our protagonist what we see him going from crybaby too you guessed it stupid crybaby. Well 12 episode you gotta get somwhere you know. It's hard to give a damn about whats happening on screen when he was there, i found myself trying to down out his annoyignness with anything I could do e.g. like banging my head on the wall repeatdly. a trip to the hospital later and I still think it was more fun than listening to him. Inori goes from a person who listens to gai without question a person who listens to shu because of spoilers. and yea so stuff happend, was it intresting then? no.
Overall If you can ignore the bloody protag it's okay still watch at your own risk, mabye make sure you got the ambulance on speedial to. and unfortunatly it's still not over aprently.
No matter how much people complain that its like code geass is still way different, iv seen both and im enjoying this show alot. Sure there are hard core similaritys but thats like that with alot of anime there not really such a thing as origional anymore, everything has pritty much already been done
I actuallty enjoy this anime... then again I've never seen Code Geass
Hahaha, good review. I like how you tell it like it is, no sugar coating :)) I lol'd.

The same stuff about forcing and pressuring you into buying unwanted accessories or other items at greatly inflated prices and being rude or hanging up on you and canceling your order happened to me. I investigated and re-ordered again and the same thing happened. I also got a friend involved and he ordered using hid credit card. No luck, same thing happened.
Beware. Stay away. These crooks should be locked up. God I wish I knew where they ran their business from. That indeed would be priceless.

Cancer Health Center
Last Days of Life (PDQ®): Supportive care - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Symptom Management
The etiology of dyspnea is usually advanced malignant disease, although other risk factors include ascites, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, deconditioning, and pneumonia. Dyspnea occurs when more respiratory effort is necessary to overcome obstruction or restrictive disease (e.g., tumor or pleural effusions), when more respiratory muscles are required to maintain adequate breathing (e.g., neuromuscular weakness or cachexia), or when there is an increase in ventilatory need (e.g., hypercapnia or metabolic acidosis).[46]
Opioids decrease the perception of air hunger, regardless of the underlying pathophysiology and without causing respiratory depression.[47] This relief is dose related and, experimentally, is reversible by naloxone, an opioid antagonist. Very low doses of opioid, such as morphine 2.5 mg orally, may provide relief in opioid-naïve patients. Higher doses may be indicated in patients who have more intense dyspnea or in patients who are using opioids for pain. As with pain control, gradual upward titration may be needed to provide relief, particularly as symptoms progress.
The use of nebulized opioids for control of dyspnea remains controversial. Nebulized morphine has been administered in the belief that this route would deliver the opioid directly to opioid receptors isolated within the lung.[48] Initial uncontrolled clinical trials and case reports described efficacy using this technique.[49] However, controlled trials have not confirmed these positive results, and as a result, nebulized morphine is generally not indicated.[50] Initial trials of nebulized fentanyl, a lipophilic opioid, suggest efficacy.[26][Level of evidence: II]
A randomized controlled trial of oxygen delivered versus room air, both delivered by nasal cannula and worn at least 15 hours per day over a 7-day period, demonstrated no differences in breathlessness, with no difference in side effects between the two groups. In light of the lack of benefit of oxygen therapy, the investigators recommended that less burdensome therapies be selected.[51] Supplemental oxygen appears to be useful only when hypoxemia is the underlying cause of dyspnea and is not effective in relieving symptoms of dyspnea in people who do not have hypoxemia.[52,53] Alternate strategies include positioning a cool fan toward the patient's face and repositioning the patient into an upright posture. Cognitive behavioral therapies such as relaxation, breathing control exercises, and psychosocial support may be effective in relieving dyspnea, although patients in the final hours of life may have limited capacity to participate in these techniques.[54][Level of evidence: I]

The Sydney Roosters back-rower has been in strong form over the first three rounds since rejoining the NRL following his five-year stint in rugby union. While admitting he is still finding his feet back in the 13-a-side code, Williams has expressed a desire to get back into the New Zealand Test side this season.
He said: "I'd love to say yes and put my hand up but it depends on whether my form warrants it. But at this stage it's about keeping my place at the Roosters and taking it from there."
The Kiwis play Australia in their traditional early-season Test match in Canberra next month and the 27-year-old hopes coach Stephen Kearney has him in his plans.
Williams, who has an option for a second season at the Bondi club, could also find himself in contention for a berth at the World Cup later this year if he decides to remain in the NRL.
The 27-year-old has impressed many with the way he has settled straight back into the rigours of the NRL since his successful stint in union.
Asked the biggest difference in the game since his controversial exit from Canterbury is 2008, Williams said: "There is a lot more wrestling.
"We work with a wrestling coach full-time but everyone is doing it. It's vital those extra few seconds you get on the ground.
"The game's still good to watch and I'm loving being back.
"I've come back to league as a union player and (I am) facing new situations. Sometimes they're big hurdles but good players can overcome them."

To the Editor.—
The recent COMMENTARY by Alan Blum, MD (243:739, 1980), "Medicine vs Madison Avenue," gave some enlightening perspective to the problem of the marketing of the number one preventable cause of human cancer.Because they are so dependent on the income from cigarette advertisements, many popular magazines downplay the impact tobacco has on health. Having reviewed a number of major women's magazines, I have not found one important story on tobacco and health.I have had a great deal of personal experience with the problem of editorial suppression of tobacco stories. For example, recently a widely read woman's beauty and fashion magazine asked me to write an article entitled "Protect Your Man From Cancer." I prepared it and by necessity emphasized the contribution of tobacco to cancer of the lung, prostate, oral cavity, and other sites. I was paid in full for the piece, but the editor frankly

Fair enough, but do you think that people who wouldn't be able to make that distinction would care? I don't.

Best Uses
I knew I was going to be spending a lot of time outside in the last week of January 2014. It was time for a new coat. The daytime highs in St. Paul, MN were below zero (F) and the wind chills were -20 to -40. My Goose Down Whaleback Snorkel Parka exceeded expectations. It was truly wind-proof. The wrist seals and draw strings kept the breeze out, allowing me to stay warm without layering up beyond street clothes and a light vest. The pockets are functional and plentiful and the lining is warm without being bulky. The coat is easy to wear and does not ride up or restrict movement when driving a car. As others have mentioned, the double zipper can be tricky at times but this is totally manageable. This is now my go-to coat when the temperature drops below 10F.
Best Uses
A good coat but not great. The hood and collar are great. The heavy duty fabric is great. It fits great and looks great.
HOWEVER it is not good for anything below about +20F, because it does not have enough down, it does not have true hand warmer pockets and you loose too much heat through the under arm vent zippers.
The hand pockets are TERRIBLE. If this coat had true hand warmer pockets it would be fantastic.
Hand warmer pockets must be cut through the insulation so you get body heat to your hands and must be very large and cut at the right angle so that your cuff seals up against the pocket opening. NO coat can be rated for -20 without true hand warmer pockets.
Best Uses
I bought this jacket for my niece's Christmas gift. She's a farm kid from northern MN who spends her days out in the barn taking care of a menagery of critters. Winter chores are especially cold and miserable on the farm. She's been describing her dream work coat for years: tough, weather proof, plethora of utillitarian pockets, great adjustments for a good fit. After a long search online, I wasn't certain I'd ever find her ideal coat. A friend turned me on to Duluth Trading and sure enough, here it was! When my niece opened her Christmas gift, she was so thrilled. It was perfect. She finds something new to love about it daily. It's everything she hoped it would be and more. But there is just one problem with the coat... she's says it's just too nice to wear in the barn! :)
Best Uses
Wore once in very cold--low teens--temperature with wind, with a sweater, and I was comfy. Lightweight (with goose down and feathers) is a big plus for me. Only quibble: the outside slant pockets have an opening that is a tad too small for large gloved hands.
Best Uses
Bought parka in my size and the fit was tight. Problems with zipper, hard to start into slider and to zip up. Out in 20 degree weather and I felt cold. Returned for larger size. Replacement still had problem with zipper. Might consider another parka.
