Ideas, Information, and Links
Prairie Loft's mission is to teach agriculture appreciation, outdoor education, cultural traditions, and the wise use of natural resources. We love sharing ideas with all kinds of people with all kinds of interests.
This page offers some of the links, tools, and resources that we have found useful in our programs so far.
Too see our education programs in action, check out the Prairie Loft YouTube page!
The Growing Season: A Story in Pictures (below)
These photos show a dry land field (no water used for irrigation) just west of Prairie Loft's property. It is farmed with a method called no-till where seeds are planted right into last year's residue. No-till increases soil tilth and water infiltration, suppresses weeds, and conserves moisture because the ground cover captures & holds snow and rain. It also leaves residue where wildlife can find shelter and food.
This corn is commercial yellow corn that will be used for livestock feed, ethanol, or even corn-based plastic. It could also be used to make corn starch, corn syrup, cosmetics, medicines, or even textiles.
This field is maintained by Weeks Enterprises.

FOOd can capability
Your choice of options all designed to lock in flavour, quality and nutritional value from the day they're packed
The variety of cans (and their ends and internal coatings) offered by Visy have been created to accommodate a wide range of products including:
- Pet food
- Processed fruit and vegetables
- Infant formula and nutritional supplements
- Dried and powdered beverages
- Processed fish and meats
- Canned dairy products
- Baby food
Adding convenience
Easy-open ends add convenience for consumers; the ring-pull feature eliminating the need for a can opener. It also ensures a safer-to-use, tamper-evident product.
Visy supplies a range of easy-open ends, including locally manufactured 65mm, 73mm, 83mm and 99mm diameter sizes, as well as decorative lithographic solutions for printed ends which maximise brand impact.
Visy produces sanitary ends ranging in size from 52mm to 153mm diameters and specific rectangular format tapered cans.
Cost-effective and available in many different sizes
Three-piece cans consist of a welded body, a fixed sanitary end and a loose end applied by the can filler. They're cost-effective and are available in many different sizes, from 52mm to 153mm in diameter. Visy offers three-piece cans with and without beading on the side (the ripples in the can add pack strength). Visy has its own integrated lithographic printing, or can sell plain silver cans for subsequent paper labelling. Standard can diameters are 52mm, 65mm, 73mm, 83mm, 99mm and 153mm, and a number of different height options are available in each standard can size.
Ideal for single-serve and multi-pack applications
Visy is the only Australian manufacturer of two-piece food cans. The two-piece can eliminates the need for a one-end closure and therefore uses less material, making it ideal for single-serve and multi-pack applications.
Like a three piece can, two-piece food cans can be decorated with lithographic printing and include necked-in features to make a product stand out. With more than a decade of experience, Visy has proven credentials in two-piece manufacturing technology, product specific coating specification and distortion printing capabilities.
Two-piece cans are available in 65x39.5mm, 73x35mm and 73x56mm formats.
easily stacked, reduced costs in transport, storage and handling of products and easily displayed on-shelf
By "necking-in" the top, these cans can be easily stacked, and offer significant benefits including reduced costs in transport, storage and handling of products.
This feature also ensures that the product can be easily displayed on-shelf, and makes storage at home more convenient for consumers. The range of necked-in cans includes 65/62mm, 73/70mm, 83/80mm and 99/96mm can formats.
Visy produces traditional tapered cans with an open format, sized at 79mm x 61mm x 92mm high.

"Karen Sisco" star Carla Gugino has been appointed to portray Sally Jupiter, the first Silk Spectre and mother of Laurie Juspeczyk, in Warner Bros.' superhero flick "Watchmen."
Following the inclusion of Malin Akerman, "Watchmen" filmmakers appear to be quick indeed in finding another female figure for the flick as Carla Gugino has been announced to join the cast as Sally Jupiter, the first Silk Spectre also the mother of Laurie Juspeczyk aka the new Silk Spectre played by Akerman.
A former frizzy haired red head waitress and burlesque dancer, Jupiter is part of the Minutemen, a group of superheroes formed before the events of Watchmen. It is expected for Gugino to portray the character in varying eras, playing different ages throughout the movie.
"Watchmen", slated to enter principal photography this fall in Vancouver, Canada, has been known to be one of the long-gestating film projects Hollywood ever has, being developed since 1986 by 20th Century Fox prior to Warner Bros. Pictures. For two decades, the film has undergone changes of directors as well as screenwriters with names like Terry Gilliam, Charles McKeown, Darren Aronosfky, and David Hayter attached before Zack Snyder and Alex Tse ultimately got on board to fill in the respective positions.

This post is usually Monday Musings – but today I'm in a "muttering" sort of mood…
1) Sadly, I have become a Twitter addict. In the last few weeks, I've enjoyed reading agent posts and query tips etc…That was all good and well until I read the following tweet which gave me serious pause….http://ladybugsroar.blogspot.com/2012/10/these-things-happen.html. Anyone else want to go back to the boards now and erase every single mention you've ever made of your WIP?
2) Ever had a gut check kind of writing day where everything you've written sounds like cr*p and then your CP confirms it for you?
3) I'm a serious comma offender – I either use too many or not enough. Could we just outlaw comma usage all together? It would make my life so much easier – (Yeah, but I know, reading much harder) *sigh*
And on a MUCH lighter note – I want to make all writers aware of an amazing opportunity to get critical feedback on their query.
Mindy McGinnis, who has been featured on this blog several times here and here…has a great feature on her own blog called, "The Saturday Slash." In "The Slash," she offers up critical feedback on what is working and what needs further attention in your query. I've actually been a willing victim of Mindy's "slash," and came out of the process virtually unscathed with many new ideas on how to improve my work.
If you're looking for feedback on your query, I highly recommend you get in the queue for Mindy's "Saturday Slash."
One last thing – check back this Friday for an enlightening installment of the F3 (First Five Frenzy ) – as a "super agent" shares her insights on what she wants to see in a writer's first submitted pages!

Hearts overflowing
Our hearts are just filled to overflowing with gratitude this morning - grateful to Bluffton Today for sponsoring the Shelter Pawty and to Stephanie Ingersoll, Cindy Brown and Rob Holquist for devoting so much work to it. Grateful to Bobby Glover for donating the land and the concrete to give us a quarter-million dollar start, and to all the people who came out yesterday and stuffed the donation cans to bursting. Your animal shelter is going to be a reality, and it's going to be the best we can possibly make it. Ever since Amy Campanini formed this dream of building a no-kill community, the public response with very few exceptions has been positive. One businessman I approached last week about donating an old furniture truck he had for sale told me "It will be a cold day in Hell!" That did propel me from his office like I'd been shot from a cannon, but it didn't discourage me. Too many people here are generous when it comes to helping the homeless animals. We need a truck for them and I know the Lord will provide one, just as He provided picture-perfect weather for the Pawty yesterday. I am so grateful to Wiley for giving up her own fun yesterday so she and her crew could handle trash disposal. They left the center of Bluffton looking cleaner than before we started. Mark Robertson, the ladies who handled the silent auction, the vets and their staffs who were slammed giving shots and microchips, everybody at the Pawty gave their very best. There will be some stiff backs this morning. If you have some aches, please know that it brings you a blessing from the little critters. Thanks to you they have a warm blankie and a hot breakfast on this cool Fall morning, instead of a muddy ditch and an empty belly. With foster care we can't reach every animal that needs us but we're doing the best we can. And your new shelter is now becoming a reality. With public support such as we saw on Saturday I know we will raise the money to build it. As I look around my home this morning at the dusty, still tired mutts sleeping in every corner, all I can say is God is amazingly good to us. "Thank you" Bluffton, from the bottoms of our hearts. Karen Wilkins

Updated: June 1, 2011 — 10:22 PM EDT Facebook icon 1Share Twitter icon Tweet Tumblr icon Tumblr Mail icon Email Popular Stories Collegeville woman dies on hiking trip in Colorado Aug 22 - 6:22 PM PR exec saved by human chain in Cape May: "It was a herculean effort" Aug 22 - 5:09 PM by Will Bunch, STAFF COLUMNIST Twitter icon @will_bunch | Mail icon firstname.lastname@example.com Maybe somebody should do something? The recovery has stalled. It is unlikely that America will find itself back in recession but the possibility of a double dip cannot be dismissed. The problem is not on the supply side of the ledger. Corporate profits are still healthy. Big companies continue to sit on a cash hoard. Large and middle-sized companies can easily borrow more, at low rates. The problem is on the demand side. American consumers, who constitute 70 per cent of the total economy, cannot and will not buy enough to get it moving. They justifiably worry that they will not be able to pay their bills, or afford to send their children to college, or to retire. Banks, with equal justification, are reluctant to lend to them. But as long as consumers hold back, companies remain reluctant to hire new workers or raise the wages of current ones, feeding the vicious cycle. There are things that could be done! Under normal circumstances, this would be the time for the federal government to take bold action to ward off a double dip. For example, it could put more cash in peoples' pockets while giving employers an extra incentive to hire by exempting the first $20,000 of earnings from payroll taxes, for a year or two. It could lend money to state and local governments. It could launch a new Work Projects Administration (modelled after its antecedent during the Great Depression) to put the long-term unemployed to work on public projects. It could amend the bankruptcy law to allow people to include their prime residences in personal bankruptcy, thereby giving homeowners more leverage to get mortgage lenders to mitigate the terms of their loans. But these are not normal circumstances. No, they're not. People need to realize that the rules have changed. Republican policy is that by continually cutting taxes (and doing nothing else), happy and profitable businesses would use that excess cash to hire people. And once upon a time, the more workers you hired, the more money you could make, but that's not true anymore. Today, companies with excess cash -- which is the current situation, by the way -- could use that money to hire American workers, or they could buy rows and rows of dill pickles. Both are about as critical to their main mission of making as much money as possible for their shareholders -- now that they can replace workers with automation or with much cheaper labor abroad. Getting millions of Americans back to work is only of interest to the public -- you and me and the officials we elect -- and not to the private sector. So there needs to be public solutions, like the ideas mentioned above. It's just common sense. But these are not normal circumstances.

Back to the Future
Kendrick Earns Fifth Starter Position as Blanton Injured Kyle Kendrick started 6 games in the Grapefruit League for the Phillies and posted a 1.66 ERA in 21 2/3 innings. But, that wasn't good enough to earn the fifth starter position. Jamie Moyer, 47, was announced yesterday by loyal manager Charlie Manuel as the Phillies fifth starter. This was the spot that Moyer lost last year when Pedro Martinez came to town and Moyer reacted with a surprisingly vocal criticism of the Phillies organization. Moyer, whose health was a concern after three off-season operations, pitched mostly in B games early in spring training before posting a 1.53 ERA and 0.68 WHIP in 3 starts, including 15 K's in 17 2/3 innings and an exceptionally strong outing against the defending champion Yankees. So, Kendrick, recently engaged to Survivor star and Baseball's...Read More
Budgeting for Fantasy Baseball Auction Drafts
Editor's Note: This article is written by Todd Lammi. Todd's been playing fantasy baseball for 20 years. He has won numerous auction and draft leagues in multiple formats. The latest craze in fantasy baseball is the 15 team mixed auction draft. This combines players from both the American League and the Nation League into one player pool. It seems like 15 team leagues are gaining in popularity due to the outbreak of high stakes fantasy baseball leagues that are emerging thanks to the continued growth of the sport. One thing to keep to remember when viewing auction dollar values in a magazine is what is the league size that is being used. Some magazines will use 12 teams, some use 152, while others only post dollar values for a AL or NL only format. You have to be sure...Read More
2010 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers: Hitters
A few days ago, we analyzed the 2010 fantasy baseball pitcher sleepers to watch in 2010. Today, we take a look at the more important side of the equation–fantasy baseball hitters sleepers. Unless you like to mortgage the present for the future, or play in a deep keeper league, most of us don't want to pick sleepers who won't be up in the majors until September. Hence, the players you see in all italics below will be definites for starting the 2010 fantasy baseball season in the majors and with starting roles. Keep your eyes on these guys as your 2010 fantasy baseball draft comes closer to see if they are going to stick in the bigs to start the season.

Week 1 Spring Training Cheat Sheet
Below is our first 2010 review of the top three hitters and pitchers in each standard 5×5 fantasy baseball category during 2010 Spring Training. Judging a hitter or pitcher on Spring Training performance is difficult because both hitters and hurlers tend to face some competition that won't make an Opening Day roster. Spring Training stats can be useful in discovering, however, in discovering who might breakout in the upcoming season or which rookies can make an impact when they are called up later in the year. In the case of sluggers like Ryan Howard, Spring Training numbers just reinforce the notion that they are warm weather superstars – guys who dominate during the summer months and are notorious slow starters because they play in a four-season climate. Any thoughts on how spring training can positively or negatively affect a...Read More
25 Fantasy Baseball Auction League Tips
Fantasy Baseball Auction Leagues take fantasy baseball to a higher level than traditional draft leagues. There's an extra degree of strategy that doesn't exist in a traditional draft league. In auction leagues, you can't simply grab one of the magazines at your local newsstand and follow its recommendations, because there is no upfront, defined strategy. There are too many variables; too many moving parts. It's the difference between checkers and chess. Auction fantasy baseball formats continue to increase in popularity, mostly because they are more fun. If you are an advanced fantasy baseball player who has been playing for several years. the conventional snake draft format starts to get old. In fact, Yahoo Fantasy Baseball has even introduced an auction format this year, including apps to make your life easier. Here are some tips that will help you win...Read More
2010 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper Pitchers
by BallparkBob Everybody is looking for a sleeper in their fantasy baseball draft. Whether you win the fantasy baseball league or not, having bragging rights for finding that rookie sensation is a nice consolation prize, even if you don't end up winning the pennant. While finding that unknown diamond in the rough is great for your ego, you're more likely to find a dud than a stud. Here's a look at some of the top 2010 fantasy baseball pitcher sleepers and fantasy baseball pitcher prospects for your 2010 fantasy baseball draft. Stephen Strasburg, SP, Nationals — Its hard to say Stephen Strasburg is a sleeper, but he is a newcomer. Probably the most highly-touted pitcher to ever put on a uniform, Strasburg will likely start the season in the minors, although the hype has never been higher for a...Read More

A 65-year-old rock climber was found dead Wednesday afternoon dangling from a rope off rocky terrain on Mount Lemmon, officials said.
The climber was identified as David Webster.
A hiker in the area, who knew Webster, saw him earlier in the day and they greeted each other, said Deputy Tracy Suitt, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
When the hiker returned to the area, he saw Webster "dangling from a rock," Suitt said.
He called 911 shortly before 1 p.m. and reported the incident, Suitt said.
Fighters with Rural/Metro Fire Department responded to reports that the victim "appeared not to be breathing or conscious," said Battalion Chief Willie Treatch, a Rural/Metro spokesman.
In addition to Rural/Metro, Mount Lemmon firefighters and deputies of the Pima County Sheriff's Department were sent to the scene and found Webster's body at milepost 15.8 off the Catalina Highway, near Willow Canyon, Treatch said.
It took rescue crews several hours to retrieve Webster's body.
Webster was an avid rock climber who rappelled often in the area, Suitt said.
His body was turned over to the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office. An autopsy will determine the cause of death, said Suitt.

Bari Bari BBQ Closes in Tustin After Four Months, Now to Be a Gyu-Kaku
Bari Bari BBQ
Edwin Goei
I should've seen it coming. There were hints. Though the food was great, the restaurant was often deserted. Bari Bari BBQ, the mom-and-pop yakiniku that opened barely four months ago in Tustin after a long delay, has gone up in smoke. It is now replaced by one of the giants of yakiniku, Gyu-Kaku, which boasts something on the order of 800 restaurants in Japan and eight in California, including one in Huntington Beach.
This Tustin branch will be the ninth in California. The switchover is happening as we speak, and details are still sketchy. But methinks there's really not a lot of work to be done to the place, and the food will be almost identical.
What will be interesting is whether they will replace the grills. Bari Bari used a solid-metal cooking surface, while Gyu-Kaku's signature yakiniku grills feature metal-wire lattice grates.
Will the instant name recognition of Gyu-Kaku overcome the awkwardness of the location? We'll see.

Get your message across to dog walkers with this polite, but straightforward yard sign. Its a bright, attractive lawn ornament and a gentle reminder to pet owners.
The approximately 8.5-inch wide diamond-shaped sign is crafted of high-quality ceramic. The red background is painted with a black border and the words, NO DUMPING in bold black freehand letters. Its a subtle, but direct, statement to remind pet walkers that youd rather not clean up after their companions. The bottom point of the diamond is painted with a paw print and heart design that says you love pets, too.
The yard sign comes with a 21-inch stainless steel stake that resists rust and flaking. Simply push the stake into your lawn and a V-shaped stabilizer at the bottom keeps it from rotating. Use the pre-drilled hole to hang the sign from the hook built into the stake and your message is there for all passersby.

Indianapolis Zoo hosts recycling event Wednesday
Did you get a new computer for Christmas, or maybe a Blu-ray player or TV? The Indianapolis Zoo is giving you an opportunity to recycle those old items and get $2 off admission.
Zooper Bowl, as it's being called, is part of the Super Bowl's "First and Green" program which promotes environmentally friendly events around the city.
Recycle Force will be at the Zoo Wednesday from 2:00pm until 7:00pm. They'll take just about anything with a cord that you'd like to recycle.
Old computers have valuable metals like gold and copper that are in very small concentrations. But with hundreds, even thousands of devices, the metal adds up to cash and prevents an environmental hazard ending up in a landfill.
"Instead of throwing it away, and it creates this hazardous waste when it breaks down, you're giving someone a job and you're keeping the earth clean. It's kind of a win-win situation," said Andrew King with Recycle Force.
Another benefit is jobs. Recycle Force employs parolees who learn job skills and are paid an hourly wage.
The $2 discount for zoo admission can be used until April.

Kevin Hart coming to the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa
It was only one scene, but we feel no shame in saying it: Kevin Hart was the funniest part of The 40-Year Old Virgin. "You're throwing too many big words at me. Because I don't understand 'em, I'm gonna take 'em as disrespect." (Click here for the full, very NSFW scene.)
At some point in the last five years, thanks to that scene, plus roles in the Scary Movie franchise, Soul Plane, Death at a Funeral and Little Fockers, Hart managed to parlay his "Little Dude With A Funny Voice" schtick into becoming arguably the biggest young urban comic in America.
Now his tour itinerary is filling up with dates that suit his rising status. Hart is booked to perform March 1 at the St. Pete Times Forum, joining Jeff Dunham and Steve Harvey on the Forum's comedy slate for 2011. Tickets go onsale at 10 a.m. Jan. 14 for $37-$47 (but we're going to need 'em for the price of ... on the house). Click here.

Industrials: A.O. Smith
What's a house without a water heater? A.O. Smith (NYSE:AOS) makes them — with and without tanks — in the U.S., Canada, China and India.
I love Smith's business model because it manufactures its products primarily for domestic consumption. That means most of its manufacturing in China is meant for Chinese customers, and the same is virtually true everywhere else it does business — including the U.S.
In October, AOS announced excellent third-quarter results and raised its full-year earnings forecast to between $2.85 and $2.95 per share — a 19% increase over 2011. Its Chinese business is really booming, growing 22% in the quarter thanks to new products, additional distribution and market share gains. Its profitable growth in China helped increase operating profits in the rest of the world (outside North America) by 41% in Q3 to $12.7 million. North America, which represents 73% of its revenue, saw operating profits increase 64% to $50.7 million.
It's a great business that you can own for far less than General Electric (NYSE:GE). This is my second-favorite pick of the bunch, only behind …

Welcome to dating site

Under The Knife
Finding the Middle Ground
I spent about a half an hour today talking with a professional pitching coach about pitching. It was a great experience and he left with my book, but I left with something better. As I meet more people in baseball, I find more who want to make the game better, who are willing to be open-minded about new approaches, new research, and new possibilities. Stories like Dayn Perry's Beer and Tacos article and Steven Goldman's on Moneyball started to articulate a foundation for this new school of thought. Instead of the tired old school/new school debate that has become more holy war than revolution, there's a "middle school" that is actually making inroads in the game. I'm firmly planting my feet there in the median.
On to the injuries ...

Movie Review: Sunshine Cleaning
Sunshine Cleaning: A Cloudy Comedy
Critics may draw comparisons between this year's Sunshine Cleaning and 2007 Best Picture nominee Little Miss Sunshine. Both were Sundance darlings, both star the wonderful Alan Arkin, and both have optimistic-sounding titles. And despite each film's light-bright disposition, both skew closer to comedy of the darker sort. This intriguing juxtaposition worked quite well for Little Miss Sunshine, and, to a slightly lesser extent, it works for Sunshine Cleaning, too.
The off-kilter premise is what first drew me to the movie when I previewed it for last year's Sundance Film Festival. I loved that the film focuses on the dirty and demeaning task of cleaning up crime scenes, yet didn't seem as gloomy as the description suggested. By the time I saw the trailer, it was clear: No CSI confusion here. Luckily the film delighted me as much as I had hoped, mostly because the two lead actresses, Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, are so compelling to watch.
To hear a little bit more about the plot and what else I liked,
In the lead, Amy Adams is Rose Lorkowski, a former hot-shot high school cheerleader who has settled into a low-paying career of cleaning houses. Emily Blunt plays her sister Norah, who, as a failed waitress, is even more down on her luck than Rose. It seems that the strapped-for-cash sisters may have inherited a touch of fiscal bad luck from their father Joe (Alan Arkin) who is constantly searching for ways to get rich quick. And while Rose disapproves of her father's shenanigans, she, too, finds herself scheming to pay for her son's pricey private school.
Enter Sunshine Cleaning, a biohazard removal service that Rose starts with her sister when she discovers that the field is rather lucrative. What follows are oddly hilarious scenes of Rose and Norah learning the ropes of the business and navigating the truly messy world of crime scene clean-up. Picking up chunks of brain matter and bleaching out blood stains sounds like your typical horror fare, but in the hands of these two ladies, there is a sense of down-iness that comes from their "we're in this together" camaraderie.
Despite the more comical moments, there are touches of genuine grief, especially when we hear about the suicide of Rose and Norah's mother, and view some of the sisters' failed relationships (Steve Zahn and Mary Lynn Rajskub are lovely in their respective supporting roles). These parts add a melody to a movie that could otherwise be somewhat one-note.
Bottom Line: The film doesn't reach the fever-pitch fun that Little Miss has at the end, but it's still a worthwhile journey, especially if you're a fan of Blunt or Adams.

andreas uebele interview
andreas uebele interview
top photo: jim rakete
andreas uebele, the founder of büro uebele explains why it's important for graphic designers to be able to draw and not to research a brief too much.
DB: please could you tell us how you came to start your own graphic design studio?
AU: I studied architecture and urban planning at the university of stuttgart and art at the stuttgart state academy of art and design. after my diploma, I worked as an architect in the office of günter behnisch, who built the great tent stadiums for the 1972 olympic games in munich and the german parliament in bonn. during my studies and the five years in the office of behnisch & partners, where I realized books and a huge exhibition about the work of behnisch among architectural projects, I did many small, self-employed graphic design jobs like stationary and posters. after being an employee, I tried to run my own office as an architect, but after some weeks I found out that architecture is not my business. I threw away all my business cards reading 'andreas uebele architekt' and had new ones printed, reading 'büro uebele visuelle kommunikation' set in rotis.

DB: what were some of your first projects?
AU: the first years of self-employment were very hard. in the first months I did not know how to pay the rent. so I took the telephone book, starting with 'A', and called all 7000 architects in stuttgart, asking if they needed any stationary or a book. it took some weeks until I reached 'F' and was lucky. it was a friday afternoon and the architect I called had just realized, that he had to present a signage proposal for the building he was working on the following week and hired me.
my first significant projects after that were a catalogue for VS-möbel (a manufacturer of school-furniture), the corporate design for 'night on earth' a film by jim jarmusch, and, a few years later, the signage system for the parseval school in bitterfeld.
the catalogue for VS was very systematic, the logo for jim jarmusch was boring and generic, but the process was a funny story with a little dog. the signage system for the parseval school was important, as it was the first time we left the wayfinding display level and added an additional layer of identity and atmosphere to the place.

DB: several years later, how has the experience of having your own studio been?
AU: work is an important part of life and with designing things you can express thoughts about life. to decide what is right or wrong can be a playful way to develop your own world and a certain attitude. I like to create – even if that means to give a special mood to the office where the employees and I feel comfortable: the office space, the light, the furniture, the way we work. you can only realize that if you have the possibility to make decisions. when I worked as an employee, even when I appreciated my boss, I always felt like a stranger.

evangelische stiftung alsterdorf, letter logo, hamburg 2007
DB: what is the attraction of designing identities for you?
AU: it's a resolution. to find a simple, visual translation for the complex identity of a client or a company is a purifying process. it is like zen meditation – if the visual identity suits to the object, all persons involved are happy. by the way: the process of finding an identity does uncover all conflicts between partners or weaknesses of a company. in order to develop an identity, you need sensibility: a suitable logo needs to have the right amount of power, a bit of silence, the right balance between striking and timeless.

DB: given your experience, are you able to design a logo or identity much quicker than before?
AU: it remains a matter of trial and error. maybe this is an advantage – designing should always be a process. it protects you from walking into the style-trap. being able to finalize things much quicker will lead into the dangerous temptation of repetition.

DB: what mistakes or 'traps' should a young designer avoid when working on an identity system?
AU: do not execute the exact brief of the client. as a designer, you need distance. don't research too much, it makes you prejudiced.
DB: what drew you to wayfinding projects and what do you enjoy most about this line of work?
AU: it was one of my first jobs and it came by coincidence. if you have done it once then everybody wants you to do it again … signage systems can be among the most complex communication design projects. you have the opportunity to work with architects, artists, interior designers and many other disciplines. with every project you will find new circumstances, architecture, landscapes and the field of activity of the company you are working for will be different every time.

DB: do you think it's important for a graphic designer to be able to draw?
AU: yes. drawing by hand is like a daily workout: the hand, holding a pencil, reacts to the eye, which gives a feedback to the brain, telling that the line you have just drawn is not nice. the muscle of your hand contracts while your eye judges the result again. it is a closed circuit that allows you to form an opinion if things are good or not, trained by your own system of values.
DB: what are your thoughts on specialization vs generalization?
AU: if you are too specialized, you will get problems if the market changes. if you are too generalized, you will it hard to do one thing extremely well. identity and signage projects make the biggest part of our gross income. but we try to do books, websites etc. too, even if the job is not paid very well just to avoid too much specialization. trying your hand at different things can help you find new approaches to the type of work you do most often.
DB: besides design, what are you passionate about and why?
reading books, it is education and culture.
DB: what is the best piece of advice you have ever been given?
tell the truth.
DB: what is the worst piece of advice you have ever been given?
tell the truth.

The Killeen Independent School District spends considerably less on school construction costs compared to most state school districts, according to a report released Monday by the Texas Comptroller's Office.
Of the 865 districts analyzed, the average construction costs for districts statewide was $154 per square foot. The compared data, which was collected for all school facilities built since 2007, showed prekindergarten and high school facilities were the most expensive to construct, averaging $167 and $163 per square foot respectively.
KISD officials spent around $125 per square foot on school construction. The district has built six schools since 2007. Pathways Academic Campus, which was built in 2011, tops the scale for the most expensive construction project, averaging $186 per square foot.
According to reports, the building spans 40,303 square feet and can hold 500 students.
Pathways Academic Campus is a high school campus designed for students who are behind in academic credit and offers individualized instruction, according to its web site.
The cheapest building constructed since 2007 was Haynes Elementary School, which cost $101 per square foot. The 121,531-square- foot building was also built in 2011 and holds 974 students.
Copperas Cove Independent School District averaged above the state average, spending $189 per square foot for construction.
Lampasas Independent School District beat the state average as well, spending $194 per square foot.
KISD officials were not available Monday for comment.

And, the hot weather was felt around the state with 12 of the top 15 hottest places in the world on Monday in WA including Marble Bar [45], Pearce [43.6] and Rottnest Island [42.2]. South Africa made up the remaining three spots.
The Australian state out-sweated renowned global hot spots such as Ethiopia and Iran that experienced cooler winter temperatures around the low 20s.
Canada was the coldest place on earth on Monday with a chilly minimum of -46.4 degrees recorded.
Despite the heat in WA, the mercury did not get close to Australia's hottest December day on record of 49.5 degrees, recorded at Birdsville, Queensland in 1972.
Across Australia on Monday, Perth was the hottest capital city, reaching a maximum of 41.6 degrees, making it the city's second hottest day of the year.

R.I.P. Milk Mustaches
The Milk Processor Education Program announced Monday that it's retiring its iconic "Got Milk?" slogan and ad campaign after 20 years. The adverts — which have featured slew of celebrities including Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift — have been running since 1994 when model Naomi Campbell posed with milk mustache, asking the famous question.
"The reason why we used celebrities at the time was to help improve milk's image," said Sal Taibi, president of Lowe Campbell Ewald, the ad agency behind the famous campaign. "The idea was to convey the message that everybody drinks milk, even successful cool people."
Now, new ads bearing ordinary people doing activities amongst a wave of milk will be the the sole focus. Though the California Milk Processor will continue using its old tagline, "Milk Life" will act as the new slogan for the majority of the ads.
"All the ads will use special effects to show the energy you get from milk," said Taibi. "It could be through wings, a parachute or even propellers."
Sure, but there's still nothing like opening up an issue of YM and seeing your favorite pop star with a mustache.
Launch the gallery above to relive some of our favorite "Got Milk" moments.

Axton and brother Jim Stewart began the label in a former cinema, combining the first part of their surnames to create the Stax name.
Memphis-based Stax was home to artists such as Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, Isaac Hayes and Booker T & the MGs.
Axton helped give Stax its reputation for racial harmony, as black and white artists came together there to record.
The Stax studio, which became known as "Soulsville USA", was second only to Motown in its production of soul hits during its 1960s heyday.
Axton and her brother were white, while most of their hitmakers were black. "We never looked at colour - we looked at people," she once said.
Axton grew up in Middleton, Tennessee, and trained as a teacher before going into business with her brother in 1959.
They originally began as Satellite Records, about 30 miles outside Memphis, but struggled to attract artists to their studio and looked for a city location.
The first singers to record at the studio were father and daughter Rufus and Carla Thomas.
In 1969, after disagreement about the label's direction, Axton quietly left the company.
It went bankrupt in 1975, and the old Stax headquarters was demolished in 1989.
Last year, a new building opened on the site as the Stax Museum of American Soul Music and the Stax Music Academy.
Axton, who died of natural causes on Tuesday, is survived by a daughter, Doris.

Almost every study that has investigated the topic has suggested that synesthesia clusters within families, consistent with a genetic origin for the condition. The earliest references to the familial component of synesthesia date to the 1880s, when Francis Galton first described the condition in the pages of Nature. Since then, other studies have supported this conclusion. However, early studies (Baron-Cohen et al., 1993; 1996) which claimed a much higher prevalence in women than in men (up to 6:1) most likely suffered from a sampling bias due to the fact that women are more likely to self-disclose than men. More recent studies, using random samples find a sex ratio of approximately 1:1 (Simner et al., in press).
The observed patterns of inheritance have suggested an x-linked mode of inheritance, although research into the genetics of synesthesia is still very preliminary. For example, father-to-son transmission is rare, while mother-to-son and mother-to-daughter transmission are quite common. Pairs of identical twins have been identified where only one member of the pair experiences synesthesia (Smilek et al., 2002; 2005) and it has been noted that synesthesia can skip generations within a family (Hubbard and Ramachandran, 2003), consistent with models of incomplete penetrance. Additionally, Simner et al. (in press) note that it is quite common for synesthetes within a family to experience different types of synesthesia, suggesting that the gene or genes involved in synesthesia do not lead to specific types of synesthesia. Rather developmental factors such as gene-expresssion and environment must also play a role in determining which types of synesthesia an indivudal synesthete will experience.

Fatal Pasadena Crash Highlights Lessons for Parents During Special Enforcement Period
The fatal crash Wednesday, in which an Altadena mother and her 9-year old daughter were killed and two younger children severely injured, marks a tragic wake-up call to parents, according to an Altadena-based non-profit.
"Our hearts go out to the family impacted by this crash," said Stephanie Tombrello. "Unfortunately their story is all too common. Traffic collisions remain the number one cause of death and severe injury to children in our country. Safety Seat Checkup Week is all about getting parents' attention to the risk that they run every day, and what they can do about it."
To offer the best protection, parents should heed some key safety messages: All kids ride in the back seat, until age 15, as the back is 40% safer than the front; Use a booster seat until the child fits the safety belt properly – usually about 10-12 years old; Attach the top tether whenever using a forward-facing safety seat; Keep children rear-facing until at least age 2, or 30-35lbs.

Herman Miller and MASS Design Group Partner for a Better World
October 25, 2011
Author and former Herman Miller, Inc. CEO Max De Pree once said "We can not live our lives isolated from the needs of society." And the world and the welfare of people, culture, and societies have never been more connected than they are now. What happens in remote corners of the world can now have global impacts. Though we may be separated by thousands of miles we are all neighbors in this shared global 'hometown'.
In this spirit, Herman Miller has announced a collaborative partnership with MASS Design Group (MASS). The partnership includes an employee volunteer program where Herman Miller lends resources and employee support to MASS projects in Rwanda and Haiti. Herman Miller will also sponsor a fellow in an upcoming MASS Design Group fellowship program.
"This partnership is an ideal way to support an exciting organization that shares a similar philosophy on how space can contribute to better health" said Beth Nickels, President of Herman Miller Healthcare.
With emphasis on human-centered design grounded in immersive understanding of human-behavior and local and spatial context, the MASS partnership with Herman Miller and Herman Miller Healthcare is a strong fit. Herman Miller Healthcare understands that the power of space contributes to positive patient outcomes and healthier communities. That understanding has led Herman Miller Healthcare to design spaces and products that respond to the realities of caregivers. And with Herman Miller's commitment to building a better world around you, partnering with MASS Design Group is a clear opportunity to leverage the company's skills, knowledge, and collective spirit, to help meet the needs of others in communities and societies all around the world.
"Call it serendipity, fate, or perfect timing, but shared values and a shared approach to human-centered design have brought MASS Design Group and Herman Miller together...the partnership feels very right" said John Kim, Herman Miller's Better World marketing manager.
MASS co-founder and Executive Director, Michael Murphy said, "we're thrilled to be partnering with Herman Miller which has an incredibly rich history in design and genuine commitment to working for a better world."
MASS Design Group, started by alumni of Harvard University Graduate School of Design, has in a very short time become a leading organization pushing the boundaries of how design and architecture can contribute to improving the health outcomes and lives of people in some of the world's poorest and most resource-limited communities. In collaboration with Partners in Health, an international global health NGO founded by Dr. Paul Farmer, MASS has designed innovative, inexpensive, and effective healthcare facilities in places such as Rwanda, Haiti and Liberia. Through their approach, they have boosted economic empowerment by engaging the local communities in the construction and maintenance of these facilities, and reduced the risk of disease transmission by completely rethinking the typical layout of a healthcare facility.
Herman Miller invites other industry leaders to support MASS Design Group's efforts themselves by donating resources or engaging MASS Design Group for their innovative problem solving expertise.

Yesterday, I was talking with a coworker, Justin, who was musing about how he goes to the corner coffee shop each afternoon to get a fix. And it hit me – I've heard "if you just avoid buying coffee each day, you'll save millions of dollars" countless times. That's wrong (and annoying).
Beyond being a bit too preachy for me, it's wrong because buying coffee, like most other things we buy, isn't usually a conscious choice. We aren't making a cost/benefit decision, and so "millions of dollars saved" is irrelevant.
Here's the logic (see the footnotes for all the behavioral science behind it):
1) Buying coffee probably isn't the most cost-effective use of our time anyway.
And neither is anything else we do.
When you're ready to take a little break at work, do you stop and think about the all of the possible things you could possibly do, the effort you'll have to expend, the probability-weighted distribution of rewards, etc.? No, usually you don't.[1] You don't take out the calculator to decide if you want coffee.
2) Instead, we're on autopilot for most of our small daily decisions,[2] including the stuff we buy.
That autopilot is driven by our gut reactions. We might think a little, but we quickly find something good enough, and move on.[3] Our intuitive minds just think: "Hmm coffee sounds good. Done."
3) Our "autopilot for buying stuff" likes things that are vivid, pleasant, and related to the other things we're thinking about.
We're likely to act on the first thing that comes to mind – things that are easy to remember and subtly "feel right" to us.[4] Things that we've associated with "good things" in the past also feel right intuitively, even without our consciously thinking about whether we liked them or not.[5]
So, telling someone that not buying coffee will save them oodles of money is likely not going to be effective. Buying coffee is vivid, pleasant, and intuitive. It can also be a "habit" in the strict trigger-routine-reward sense, though in this case Justin didn't have a real "habit" of buying coffee on the corner (habits are a huge and fascinating topic; I'll discuss them in a later post).[6]
Our conscious minds can override our autopilot with sustained attention. But, that takes work, it can't be easily maintained over-time, and isn't fun. Instead, to change behavior (if you wanted to spend less on coffee), look to the source of the behavior. Can you crowd out the vivid recall of coffee-buying with something else? Can you find something that's more pleasant to fill the break times at work? Can you make it difficult for the autopilot to act, without requiring sustained attention (like leaving the coffee-shop loyalty card you love at home)?
Lots more to think about in future posts. For now, what do you think?
[1] We don't do this for many reasons. One of the major reasons is that our "implicit cognitive system", aka our intuitions or gut reactions, tell us enough is enough. Damasio (1994) has shown that people with brain damage that lack those intuitions actually DO endlessly consider costs and benefits. Yeah, cost/benefit analysis in daily life can be a product of brain damage!
[2] See Kahneman (2011) for a detailed and very thoughtful look at this "autopilot", or implicit system. I referenced the related body of theory called Dual Process Theory in an earlier blog post.
[3] Otherwise known as satisficing = taking the first option that is "good enough". This is Simon (1982)'s critique of the common assumption in economics that we optimize for the best possible outcome.
[4] Aka, cognitive ease or "fluency" makes things feel true and good. See Kahneman (2011, p60) for a concise summary of that literature.
[5] This is one part of Slovic (2007)'s affect heuristic. Also, "related to the other things we're thinking about" refers to priming and framing effects.

Gallery: Show and Tell: Cookie Cutters
A Cookie Gathering
Springerle Boards
The Whole Collection
Home State Pride
For Every Occasion
"This is just a fraction of my cookie cutter collection. I also have a variety of cookie stamps which just leave impressions and can only be used for select recipes. I'm not sure I have cutters for a gymnastics match, but there's an elephant and donkey suitable for a presidential debate and several varieties of cats for a cat's birthday. I don't think I have a mouse for the cat's birthday, but there's a groundhog, which of course has its own celebration day, and a rabbit and a songbird, so the cat's birthday is covered. There is a salt water taffy, palm tree, sail boat, seal, cruise ship, and train. You can have a Charlie Brown Christmas, or a more traditional one plus more modern takes on stars and trees. There are barnyard and zoo animals. You could have a card party. They aren't in the photo, but I have cutters like a high heel shoe that can be used for a bridal shower. It would probably take me the next two days to organize more.
It's hard to choose favorites as it depends on what you're making, but I like the gingerbread cutter as it can be decorated as both a gingerbread man or a reindeer. I also love my springerle mold which dates back more than one hundred years. If you haven't made them, you should try Maida Heatter's 8-Layer Cookies. They are layered icebox cookies which can actually just be sliced and baked, but you can also slice them, use your cookie cutters on the slices, then bake them. The cookies are striped with multiple almond stripes and chocolate stripes."—Louise M.
