This subject has never made any sense to me whatsoever. And it may not sit well with everyone else what I am about to say, but you know, I think it's time this planet grew up. Well at least the human beings on it, because we surely need to.
All my life I've heard of shaming groups of people based on their color, their race, their body size or physical traits. In my situation I am considered a full figured lady, but according to full figured pictures I must be something else because I passed what the pictures look like quite a few years back.
And then I've seen the other side of it, like where we shame people for not being fat. We have stores especially for fat people. Let's label them full figured because it sounds better, and charge 3 X more to sell them, probably because they need more material to make them, right? Let's make sure we exclude people under size 12 because they have excluded us for so many years. I'm tired of the "you are wrong and I am right" syndrome.
I have (as a younger woman) always limited my thoughts on the fact that I could never be a singer (my childhood dream) because I did not fill the non-fat mold (this was in the 1980's). That even when I had dreams I would stop myself because I did not fit the mold. I would have to be taller, skinnier, and prettier to do what I wanted. To be treated with respect. I figured I would have to settle for just any guy who wanted me because I was not as pretty or skinny as some of my counterparts. The saddest part of that was by lowering my own value which then limited my space and resources by setting up mental barriers that became real. I have since changed my way of thinking and shut off those negative reinforcements whenever I get the chance.
I don't care much about my physical weight now, to tell you the truth. I am more concerned about my physical health any day much more then what dude or the media thinks of me. There is a very good reason for that. I have a fabulous husband (who even with my own sabotaging) lusted and still lusts after me whether I was a size 14 or 24. After kids and life, he still looks at me like a man looks at a 5 course dinner after being starved for a week.
I have questioned his sanity over the years (because of my own insecurities fed by society and media), for him to basically tell me that he has always found me sexy and did not find he needed to explain why. He wanted me, plain and simple. He would then pat my butt, cop a feel, give me a breathtaking kiss and move on a happy camper. Thank God for that man. I never felt sub-standard or never suffered from derogatory comments about my weight from him even in arguments. It's like it does not exist for him. It's always been a non-issue.
And this is the topic of my subject today. Why do we have to make being a bigger person stand out to everyone? Why do others feel they have to make us so ugly with comments about our size?
The #1 point I am trying to make is this. Drop the labels. Drop the tags. Drop the categories. And I am talking to mostly news makers (also known as hate spreaders) and anyone who makes money spreading nastiness in this world or segregating us. They are the number #1 reason some of the people on the planet stay in the dark ages. They feed the hatred of people and then let the less enlightened ones spread it across the world to then make money off of it.
I want to let you know that I know what you are doing as most of us do. You may claim freedom of speech, and feel you got away with it, but I promise you that karma won't care when you get what you deserve for being so nasty.
Can we just be human beings? Can we just be a non-issue? Why do we have to be only our race, our differences etc. Can we just be who we are without having labels and tags attached to us? Do we need to be singled out for every little thing? Why do we need a "this only" and "that only"? Can we not just have everything for everyone? Why do the clothes that fit me have to be in a different part of the store instead of on the same rack as the other clothes. From size 0 to 28 with a sign that says "Clothes" not "plus" "petite" "regular" etc.
Why are the nicer shirts with the beautiful colors always on the regular size racks and moo moos with humongous flowers on the plus size racks. Can you not work it that we could have something similar in all different sizes, so everyone can enjoy it. Hear what I said. EVERYONE.
I saw a thing about Pierce Brosnan and his wife just today. Why does he have to defend loving her? Why is this even a topic or issue? Why do the ads I have seen on the side of webpages for months have to denigrate her because of her size, calling her ugly? Why do we have to make people defend their choices when it comes to differences?
For this reason I am going to make this important contribution for my space and planet.
I have decided as of today that I no longer support anyone who will make me stand out for my weight or anything else, either good or bad. I promise to not even acknowledge any group that splits people into categories. We don't need an only fat group or any group that segregates us as separate entities. We live on the same planet. We are all human beings on a beautiful planet with a diversity of everything. Just look around and you will see that is the truth.
Take a note from the planet and notice how one tree does not hate another for being different. It shares the same soil and bloom their different flowers and offers their own beauty in their own way. They don't care about names or descriptions. They thrive on what they need. Animals do the same. They know no discrimination. They don't hate another animal for their colors or their size. This doesn't exist.
If you are attracted to someone and then fall in love with them, why do you have to justify why when it comes to their physical characteristics?
I believe it's high time that we just stop listening to the media that hates and the generations that teach that different is bad.
And don't you think we should be allowed to love, live and be friends with who we want regardless of what anyone else thinks? I think I've always done that. I just wish the rest of the world would stop listening to what everyone else thinks and just make up their own minds, and most important to stop acknowledging the differences when it is mentioned. There is no need. We are all just mere human beings living on a tiny planet in this universe.
If I had a wish, this would be the best one I could come up with! What do you think? Imagine how wonderful life would be if you didn't have put yourself in a category and just shine for who you are. No lines drawn, no categories, no tags and no labels.

Mario is Missing!

Pac-In-Time is an SNES game played by Arin and Danny on Game Grumps as a one-off.
Episode Edit
Game Information Edit
Pac-In-Time (パックインタイム?) is a video gamedeveloped by Kalisto and published by Namco, featuring the popular arcade character Pac-Man. It was released in 1994 forMS-DOS, Macintosh, Super Nintendo and Game Boy. It was released shortly after Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, which brought about the change from the classic arcade versions of Pac-Man to the development of more complex and adventurous games.
This game was an offshoot from the normal variety of Pac-Man games, in that it does not confine Pac-Man to a maze-like board. Rather, the player controls Pac-Man through various side-scrolling levels, obtaining many different items along the way; the plot does take elements from the earlier Pac-Man games, such as the objective to collect a certain number of pellets before exitting a level. The game allows the player to access completed levels via passwords that are given every five levels.
The game is a rebranded version of a 1993 game, Fury of the Furries, also developed by Kalisto. The PC, Macintosh and Game Boy versions are almost identical to the original, while the Super Nintendo game, despite using the same basic gameplay mechanics, is an entirely new game using a different game engine and aesthetic.
Pac-In-Time was originally supposed to have a Sega Mega Drive / Genesis version and a Game Gear version, but both versions on Sega consoles got cancelled (however, a Game Gear prototype was leaked, which played similar to the Game Boy version).The player controls Pac-Man as he must find his way through five different worlds, each with 10 different levels. Each level contains about 30 different Pac-Pellets that must be found in order to complete it. The end of the level is marked with a door that is only opened once all of the required pellets have been collected. Along the way, Pac-Man will run into many enemies — most of which are just native to the environment of the level, such as bats, birds, rats, worms, carnivorous plants, ram-like creatures, etc. Pac-Man also runs across his long-time enemies, the ghosts, who appear frequently in every level and chase after Pac-Man. Fortunately, there are Power Pellets along the way, and Pac-Man can use these to devour the ghosts in his typical fashion.
Unique to this game, Pac-Man can also acquire four different abilities that will help him finish his quest and defeat his enemies. Each of these abilities can be obtained by jumping through one of four different colored rings. Although Pac-Man can hold all four abilities at once, he can only use one at a time by rotating between them. This game style was used in Kalisto's earlier game Fury of the Furries.
There are many other items that help Pac-Man out in his quest. He can find many food items that replenish portions of his health, as well asextra lives along the way. There are also the Power Pellets to use when there are approaching ghosts. Certain elements and levels vary slightly from system to system.

Proudly presenting Making Norway - a series of films for the prestigious Frankfurt Book Fair, in partnership with Einar Films and Willy Nikkers on behalf of Visit Norway.
A country is much more than the borders that define it. A country is the sum of its culture, traditions, stories... its people. This series explores the people that Make Norway, and how Norway has shaped their creativity. Because just as people make a country... a country makes its people.
Slow TV
In the first film of the series, we examined Norway's love affair with slow TV - a phenomenon which, at its peak, has seen a quarter of the population tune in. Make yourselves comfortable!
Taste The Picture
This film examined the country's rich food heritage and features a new wave of forward-thinking chefs that refer to the past to innovate an entirely new approach to food and food production. Warning: this film features scenes that some viewers may find delicious.
A Keyless Society
In Norway, nature belongs to everyone. They have a word for it: Allemannsratten. In this instalment of Making Norway, we examine how this philosophy runs through society, informing attitudes towards nature and public spaces.
The King's Speech
The final film in our Making Norway series celebrates a royally good speech and examines how a King's vision for a more inclusive society is fairing some three years later. Tissues at the ready!

When it comes to moving oversized loads, the railroads are hard to beat. But even railroads still have to contend with clearance issues. To maximize capacity, railroads will often use special cars like depressed-center and other heavy-duty flatcars to haul the largest of loads.
The car type has been around for more than 100 years. Although never needed in great quantities on the railroads, they have always been popular for modelers both for their own unique look and the awesome loads they carry.
Size, design and capacities for these cars vary greatly. Small cars ride on a pair of conventional trucks and have a carrying capacity of about 90 tons. Larger cars may ride on 16 or more axles with 200+ ton capacities.
The need for cars this size is slim, but each move can mean big revenue for the railroads. Railroads that serve customers that ship oversize loads regularly often have their own fleet of cars. Many more are owned by heavy industries themselves and leasing companies like TTX (Trailer Train) and Kasgro Rail. These cars can be used for moves anywhere in the country.
In addition to big revenue, oversize loads mean big operating headaches. Double-checking clearances, planning passing locations, speed restrictions and other limitations often put special loads in their own trains. Sometimes a single load becomes a train all to itself. If there are multiple restricted loads to move, they may be consolidated into a single train to save cost and avoid schedule disruptions. These trains can bypass switching yards to reduce the chance of damage. Loads that fit within normal operating parameters can be included in regular freights, as can empty moves.
A high and wide load is a great addition to any layout. And there are many great potential modeling projects out there for interesting loads. Don't have the talent to build your own heat exchanger or turbine? A tarped load can be as simple as a block of wood, a plastic bag and some string or scale chain. Let your imagination do the rest!

Waxing Poetic (farm blog)
Jason moves the chicken house out to pasture
The first brave chickens to leave the house for pasture in the morning
The first egg!
On Saturday, we added a few chickens to our livestock mix. Livestock seems to have taken over my camera. It has Jason shaking his head and muttering things about "childless couples." It's true, isn't it. I've begun collecting substitutes for children. Not in the literal sense, of course. I rationalize it because they all have farm jobs. Still, critters need me in a way that plants don't. Plants need care, attention, and perhaps even love and sweet talkin', but they just grow up too quickly. Once we've planted them in the ground and given them their best shot, they're likely to survive without us. Maybe not thrive, but survive. With critters, it's just not the same. The pigs crave our attention. Whenever we come around, they get up from their lazy stupor, do a couple of happy tail spins, then follow us around in perpetual curiosity. So far, the chickens seem to depend on us to remind them where their roosts are and where they're intended to lay their eggs. I swear the chard doesn't even notice when I wander over to check out its progress.
"skinning" the tomato umbrella
I attended a workshop on meat production last Friday. You may have noticed from the full takeover of my photos that we've taken on some hog production the season. There is a potential expansion of Tumbling Shoals Farm on the horizon and we're considering adding more livestock to the mix. But that's a whole different train of thought. At the end of the workshop, Chef Jay (I can't remember his last name) from Lucky 32 in Greensboro got up to speak. I found myself in that awesome state of head nodding validation as he pontificated on integrity drawn in by knowing who you are feeding. Some of you might remember me expounding on the same thing a couple of years back. The federal department of ag did this whole "know your farmer, know your food" thingy. Tom Vilsak standing there in his suit and tie—the whole bit. I believe in that too, don't get me wrong, but it had me waxing poetic about the benefits of knowing who you are feeding. Like chef Jay, I believe that knowing the families you grow (or cook) food for brings a whole other level of integrity into the system. It makes us want to go that extra mile to bring you a special quality product. Different, I suppose, from boxing it up and sticking in on truck to be mixed in the vast wholesale market to end up on some anonymous plate.
Pigs telling secrets
A pig with "pants"
I know I don't need to mention that it was snowing and sleeting only four days ago. It's all the rage in the small talk circles. But how can I not??? As farmers, we are so completely at the mercy of the weather that it's hard to leave the craziest weather changes unmentioned. We were preparing a hoop house for tomato planting while it was snowing and sleeting. Said tomatoes were actually scheduled to go into the ground three weeks ago, but after last year's damage, we're erring on the "precious little baby tomatoes" side of things. So we planted them finally today, three weeks "late." That's kind of the thing on the farm. There's not really a "late" per se. It's a little loophole that we live in. There's "early" and "right on time", but never late. So I hope you'll understand when we show up "right on time" with our crops a few weeks later than planned. As it turns out, you just can't plan on the weather.
Lettuce in the hoophouse, just waiting to be put on a list
Although the nights still bring a bit of a chill, the sunshine of the days brings enough warmth to shed the top couple of layers of clothing and lessen the dread of sticking fingers in the soil. Nathan and Shannon began work on Monday and we are settling into the rhythm of the daily farm work and crossing things off lists. I am an obsessive list maker. I've got lists for every aspect of life, hanging about in every corner of my world. And there's no glory like the glory of crossing things off from said lists. I guess that sort of make Nathan and Shannon gladiators. Since their arrival, there has been carnage of the lists. Beautiful scribbles everywhere. With the settling in of the rhythm, comes a deep satisfaction of shrinking lists. Now if Mother Nature would get on board, there will be harvest lists to add to that satisfaction.
We are going ahead with our Lenoir drop point and have just a few harvest shares left. You can get more information at www.tumblingshoalsfarm.com. Please pass along this information to your friends in Lenoir who might be interested. Also, we are planning our fashionably late but grand entrance to the downtown Hickory farmers' market Saturday, April 13th when we are predicting our crops to catch up from the cold spell we've been surviving. We'll see you there!
Lee from visitwilkesboro.com came out to the farm and made this cute video.
The farm under blankets (which really love the wind, I might mention;))
You may have noticed that I sort of disappeared from the virtual world for a bit. It's just that the real world grabbed me for a whirlwind dance for a while. The weather whips around our heads (sometimes quite literally) like an angry insect and we get dizzy attempting to plan around its whims. The day's plans change quickly and we're constantly in motion. Every March we reach our management capacity. Inevitably, something gets neglected. This year it was the pho. Pho is a delicious Vietnamese brothy soup that involves boiling bones for a long time. We started it in the morning. While we were scrambling to get plants in the ground, row covers on baby plants, fields prepared for further planting, new plants seeded in the greenhouse, etc., somehow, we forgot about the pho. The light began to wane and we headed up to the house in anticipation of our delicious supper, only to find the house filled to the brim with smoke. Indeed. In the madness of March, we burnt the soup. A night out at the local taco joint, a few days of open windows, a virtual ton of laundry, and a deep cleaning and the house is fine. We have only a couple of more weeks of the whirlwind dance until the first of our seasonal employees arrive to rescue us from the madness. We are counting down the days until we are four rather than two.
Tully can hardly contain her excitement over the arrival of pigs on the farm today
I feel lethargic in winter. I find it easier to do less work each day and over more days than to experience a true "weekend." Some days I even get downright snuggly. A warm fire, a warm beverage. This is comfort zone extreme. I crave heavy, hearty foods like stew and gravy and dough. I trimmed the extra plants out of the greenhouse tray cells the other day. I call it giving the greenhouse a "haircut." I saved the tiny greens for a salad. The first fresh of the year besides the kale and collards and carrots we've been milking out of the last year's fall field. It felt so good, eating fresh again. I felt so good. So good that the next day I felt so energetic that Tully and I decided to hike up the ridge behind the house. I've never seen her so happy, I swear. The neighbor's motion activated wildlife camera must have gotten some hilarious shots of her as she ran up and down and jumped around in full puppy mode. I guess that's how I felt too: like laughter beneath the eyes of the long awaited sunshine. The rest of the day was spent hanging out with the baby plants—getting back in touch with a part of this lifestyle that I love. Watching things grow into plants from those tiny seeds never ceases to amazement. Welcome to spring!

7/3/20 (5 Stars)
We visited Grand Haven for 4 days for a long weekend. After a quick search online we decided this was one of the dinners we just HAD to make a reservation for and we are so glad we did. This was the best meal and experience of the trip. Due to COVID guests were seated at their own table spaced 10 ft apart from other tables and all tables were in the shade. Even at 83 degrees it was all shaded and felt wonderful. It's a 3 course meal for $45 per person, which is moderately priced. On our reservation they asked if we had any food preferences and we specified that we strongly prefer low carb options. I was so impressed that they went out of their way to prepare our meal with low carb options (cucumbers in addition to the standard chips for example) even though it was not a true food limitation and was simply our preference. The amount of food was generous and of very good quality. Both of us were so impressed with the service, quality and general environment and should we come visit Grand Haven again we will definitely be making a reservation at Artisan again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wanted you to know that everyone was wowed by the lunch you prepared for us. All of the wonderful flavors made for a fantastic Christmas luncheon! Several of our employees live in Grand Haven and know of Artisan, but thought it was a cooking school, so this may bring you some more catering offers. You were so right, the yule log was very festive and enjoyed by all. I hope you will be able to work with us next year, you are a tough act to follow.

Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. All the sides were done perfectly. The serving amounts worked out and was enough for everyone. The tin/aluminum serving containers were also nice. That made it so easy to set out on our table and people to help themselves. And your pickup time and having it boxed and ready was nice. Each of the sides tasted wonderful. I love sweet potato casserole and yours was very good. The green beans were also a hit. Everyone absolutely loved each item. Also the salad was awesome. Everyone loved the salad and dressing. That went over really well.
Again thanks for all you did. It was done so wonderfully and tasted GREAT!!!

Both was the best answer. We have eaten here fairly often and have always been very satisfied. This dinner was an all time memorable moment."
Artisan Staff,
Thank you all for the wonderful food, my friends and family are still talking about how great everything was. The service was great. We did not have to ask for anything. What a great team you all make. Hillary, from the appetizers to the main course, and I am still blown away by that salmon, right to the desserts, I loved every bite. You are amazing.
Thanks again for everything. Pat D
Another wonderful meal 9/25. All dinner courses were remarkable. The pear for dessert was out of this world. I did not know a pear could taste so good. We had friends with us that continued to rave about the food and service. We spent a very leisurely three hours and we all enjoyed every minute.One couple are coming next weekend with relatives from San Diego. They can't wait to show off Artisan of Grand Haven. Jim
We wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our visit with you this evening. From the initial welcome…the attention to detail…great interaction…and friendly banter…we were certainly pleased to have found you on our visit to Grand Haven. Oh…and did I mention the wonderful fare…including cooking hints and secrets…was all really, really good!!!

I'm old, I'm cranky and I like it!
This elderly gentleman may "brighten up" someone's Christmas this year, though it won't be because he's filled with goodwill toward men. He's a curmudgeon and he's hoping to find someone who will listen ad nauseum to his many complaints this holiday season. He'll be for sale on my website's "In-Stock" page. He's 42" tall, has moving mouth, raising eyebrows and self-centering side-to-side eyes.

A grinch in time for Christmas
I guess he's mad about seeing all the holiday decorations, ads, commercials and pop-ups so early in the year. Or maybe he's upset because I've only painted him with a primer coat so far. Or was it the election? Whatever it is, I don't see him changing his attitude any time soon.

Change of plans
This is the same "Alfie"...just dressed up for Halloween. Actually what happened was a client bought him from my "In-Stock" page on my website, but she had admired my "Norbert" nerd figure before he was sold. So she asked if I could re-costume Alfie to be a nerdy little fellow. I parted his hair in the middle, changed his clothes and added the bow tie and oversized nerd glasses. Now he's off to his new home in Nebraska.

What's it all about, Alfie?
I've been working mostly on conversion figures lately. Which is okay since I enjoy making them, too. This one I've dubbed "Alfie" and he's for sale on my in-stock page on my website (kennycroes.com). Check out his red lace-up shoes!
I've started to build a 40-inch Mr. Winkle. Hopefully I'll finish in time for him to end up under someone's Christmas tree.

It must be close to Halloween
However, no matter how much I darken the eyes, narrow the eyebrows and tweak the widow's peak hairline, Charlie still looks kinda cute.

The collector
Braylu Creations.
Wayne is decorating his store for Halloween. He displays all of his figures (including many made by other well-respected figure makers). They will share space with scary dolls Chucky and Tiffany. As Wayne said, "After all, it IS Halloween!".

It's always fun to see figures built from my head designs. The castings are sold by Braylu Creations for do-it-yourselfers. These figures were constructed by Michael and Toby Fisher. Looks good, folks!

Change in complexion
Occasionally I get an inquiry about a figure I've never built before. Such is the case today when I've been asked to send a photo of an Afro Uncle Earl. Every Uncle Earl I've built so far has been a Caucasian figure. So to reply to the inquiry, I used some Photoshop tricks to revise a photo of a previous Uncle Earl figure to show an Afro skin color with dark brown eyes. We'll see if his new look generates an order.
Friday, August 29, 2014
I've completed a Mr. Winkle for my British client. The order came with a request for bare feet instead of the typical stuffed muslin. I purchased a pair of feet from Mike Brose. The down side is that I didn't have any shoes in stock that would fit Mr. Winkle's big feet. So he's barefoot for now.

It's been awhile since I've built a 2T Mr. Winkle. The mold is getting old and the castings require more TLC to get them ready. The dark marks on the castings (other than the eyebrow tube holes) are pencil marking slight depressions in the casting that I'll fill with wood filler. Then he gets sanded down.
The other photo shows the PVC pipe headstick I'm making for Mr. Winkle, who will eventually entertain audiences in the United Kingdom.

The word is "Nerd"
No doubt this intellectual dummy is hoping to stump everyone on "Jeopardy". Until then, he'll take pleasure in showing off his IQ in public with a ventriloquist partner. His name is "Norbert". Oh...and he's for sale.
Tuesday, July 22, 2014
Wow. Two days in a row...
Braylu Creations. It's nice to have a fan.
At Wayne's request, I built the controls using a rod-and-tube control system rather than the rocker-style. And as I do with all of Wayne's figures, the eyes are different colors.

Sadly I missed this year's Vent Haven ConVENTion, but I enjoyed the photos posted on Facebook. Of all the performers scheduled, I'm most sorry to have missed Jim Barber. He's one of my favorites.
I'm finishing up a Nerd figure for a client. Photos will be posted.

Sunday best
Liz also mentioned Danny will accompany her to the local children's clothing store when she buys him additional outfits. That should cause quite a stir. But he'll need to look his Sunday best!

New Cheeky
The process is to sculpt, then sand. Then adjust and sculpt some more. Then sand some more.
In the past, I've opted to sculpt a separate jaw right from the start, and leave the jaw off of the head sculpture. This time I'm sculpting the entire head. Then I'll have the mold made, then a casting generated from the mold. I'll cut the jaw out of the first head casting, then use the jaw's cut-away chin to build a complete jaw. After that, I'll have a mold made for the completed jaw piece. And the casting from that separate jaw piece will be used to build the first figure.

Point and shoot
Just back from a trip to Northern California for a family visit.
The threads stripped on my Nikon point-and-shoot digital camera so I could no longer attach it to a tripod. My Canon FS-10 video camera's battery pack died, too. I took advantage of both minor annoyances to purchase a Samsung MV800, a point-and-shoot digital camera that also shoots excellent HD video...all in one.
Now that I'm back, I shot photos and video of my Mortimer Snerd conversion figure and put him up for sale on Ebay. Hope someone gives the little guy a home soon.

I did a bit of touch-up on my "Jack" figure and recorded a new video.

All done
Otis is ready to take the stage. Well...he needs a body. His new partner is providing that. I just had to make his head.
Tuesday, May 06, 2014
Goof proof
Here's the most recent look at Otis. He's going through the paint touch-up stage and getting the last of his mechanics installed. Tomorrow he'll get strings and triggers for the animations. After that, the trap door gets sealed and he'll be fitted for his wig.
Won't be long now.

Wong done right
I'm building two figures using my full-size Otis head for my good customer, Wayne. But he's been bitten by the "do-it-yourself" figure-building bug. He purchased my "Mr. Wong" head design from Braylu Creations and built the character pictured above. He named him "Bill". I think Wayne did an absolutely splendid job. I love what he did with the mustache and eyebrows. Beautiful subtle shading on the figure, too.
Take a bow, Wayne. Nicely done!
Monday, April 21, 2014
He needs a shave
My second full-size Otis is now at the point where he needs a shave...permanently The jaw and eyes are in place temporarily just for the photo. He actually needs another coat of paint before we move on to the shading. That's always a fun task. He really comes to life after his "stage make-up" is applied.
The final mechanics don't go in until all the painting is completed.
Thursday, April 17, 2014
One of my most loyal customers who has purchased several complete figures from me has been bitten by the "do-it-yourself" bug. He's made his own full-size Mr. Winkle (re-named "Al"). The figure is pictured here with a Lovik figure I recently repaired for him.
My only caution to the DIY folks out there is that once you've built one figure, you may not be able to stop (as in my case).
Thursday, April 10, 2014
My full-size Otis figure is almost ready to paint. I have just one more head-prep task to do. And that would be to form his eyelids (non-blinking). I like the eyes set in place before I make the eyelids so I can mark the right spots. I want them to cover the very most upper portion of the iris so he looks a bit sleepy, dense (or intoxicated with white lightenin'). I'll use Magic-Sculpt to make those drowsy eyelids.
And yes, I do know that each eye is a different color. That's the way Otis' new partner wants him.

I dig the wig
This Mortimer conversion figure got some hair today. I used a faux-fur wig sent to me by Braylu Creations, sewn from a new wig pattern for 2T figures. It worked great. I have been using a wig pattern of mine that required hand-sewing nine darts. The wigs worked really well, but took a lot of time to sew. This pattern has only two darts. By folding and trimming, you get the same good result, but with a lot less hassle.
Saturday, March 29, 2014
Flappin' his jaw
Moving right along, I installed Otis' jaw today. I like to get that set so I can tend to any gap correction before I start painting. His jaw swings open and closed freely, but I'll need to close up a small gap between the jaw and neck area. Overall, though, the initial fit was pretty good.
You may notice the jaw's interior has some Magic-Sculpt around the tongue. That's because I sculpted the jaw with a full set of lower teeth in case I wanted to use the Otis castings for different characters. But Otis only has one lower tooth, so I had to convert his teeth to gums.
Friday, March 28, 2014
A while back I mentioned that I still like making conversion figures from to time. I had a couple of Goldberger Mortimer Snerd dolls in stock, so I thought I'd put them to good use. This fellow has moving eyebrows, side-to-side eyes and moving mouth. Conversion figures are fun because it gives me a chance to try out new approaches with mechanics and painting. Eventually this toy Mortimer will be become a fully-professional working figure at an affordable price for a ventriloquist.
Thursday, March 27, 2014
Head on a post
Yesterday I drilled a series of holes around the perimeter of the area on the neck where the headpost will go. Today I drilled more small holes around the opening I created. That's so the Magic-Sculpt I use to secure the headpost will seep into the tiny holes for anchoring the post (a PVC pipe). Now that the Magic-Sculpt is dry, the headpost ain't goin' no place.
Otis got some holes drilled into his forehead, too. (Sounds downright barbaric). Eventually eyebrows will flip-flop in those openings.
Wednesday, March 26, 2014
Cuttin' up
Yesterday I began slicin' and dicin' the urethane Otis casting. I drill small holes around the perimeter of the areas I want to remove. Then I use a pair of small wire clippers to cut an opening on each side large enough to accommodate a hand saw. I use a hack saw to cut the trapdoor in the back of the head. I drill large holes in the eye sockets, then use the wire clippers to cut out more plastic. I smooth the edges of the eye sockets, mouth cavity and headpost hole with a Dremel grinding bit. I also round the edges of the trap door opening. I found that the edges are really sharp otherwise, and as often as I'm sticking my hands in there, it's safer to smooth the sharp edges.
Lastly I use a round Dremel cutting bit to rough up the head's glass-smooth interior so the Magic-Sculpt I use to secure mechanics will firmly bind to the head.
And of course, I sign my work.

Is a movement to reform Islam from within already here and some of us don't even know it?
On October 27, 2009, the well-known Muslim peace activist from Bangladesh, Shoaib Choudhury, arrived in New York City to give talks on the problem of jihad at several prestigious institutions in the area. Shoaib, as he likes to be called, has gained the respect of much of the world, especially among Jews, for his heroic efforts to stop the Muslim persecution of Jews and other religious minorities in Muslim countries. For this he was accused of sedition, imprisoned, and tortured, and his life has been threatened several times since. He still is at risk of being hanged by the state for his supposed crimes Relaxing on a rainy evening after a long flight from his native Bangladesh, Shoaib met with several counter-jihad activists in midtown Manhattan. The plan was to see how mutual support and alliances could be developed.
However, that plan was aborted by the truculent attitude of some of the activists.
They tore into Shoaib as a supporter of Islamic intolerance regarding other religions, as a wife-abuser who forces his spouse to veil herself, and even as a liar. None of this was grounded in reality, but the "activists" deemed Shoaib untrustworthy. Why? Because he would not join them in publicly bashing Mohammed and the text of the Qu'ran.
No, Shoaib has chosen not to do that. Instead, he spends his time and uses his journalistic skills to dig out buried information about al Qaeda's infiltration of his country's government and schools. He publishes his findings in his online journal and in his publishing house. One new piece of information, for example, is the discovery of wide-spread sexual abuse of children in the madrassas, resulting in an epidemic of venereal diseases among these unfortunate children.
Shoaib's goal is to expose evil to the light of day so that public outcry can bring about needed reforms. He attacks the broad central branches of self-serving and sadistic Islamic practices rather than taking an axe to what the American counter-jihadists consider to be the main problem: the trunk of the tree, or Islam itself.
Why does Shoaib do this? He reasons that if he were to criticize Islam per se, he would lose all credibility in the Muslim world. He would be seen as an outsider, an apostate, somebody to be automatically despised -- and his voice would be lost. Since he is a native of his country and has taken life-threatening risks in it, why should he change his strategy to reflect the approach of his armchair counter-jihadist critics?
Moreover, Shoaib is not the only one disdained in this way. Other Muslim reformers work more or less undercover to bring Islam out of its convulsive cruelty and into a calmer, more peace-loving practice. In addition, there are some Muslim sects, like the Ahmadiyya movement, that make a point of turning their backs on all violence. They have been around for over 100 years.
The handful of critics noted here are part of a larger problem. Many American counter-jihadists become rigid, even fundamentalist, in their thinking. They demand a kind of theological purity from those they would describe as "not enemies." In a way, this is understandable, since fellow Americans not in the counter-jihad movement have proven so dense about the core issues of jihad that frustration is bound to grow. Having the deceiving phrase "Islam is a religion of peace" bandaged over the national consciousness by presidents adds rage to the frustration.
However, it is my opinion that giving in to that rage and frustration will not help defeat jihad. Instead, we must be flexible and committed to finding effective ways to drive back the twin devils of obvious terrorism and stealth infiltration. If that means emphasizing concrete practices of infiltration rather than the abstract theory/theology of Islam, so be it. We may be better understood by our countrymen who have so far been somnolent.
In the interest of promoting a worldwide partnership of resistance to global jihad, it would help if we honored the work of freedom fighters in other cultural contexts without jumping to conclusions.
Madeline Brooks is the head of a counter-jihad group in New York City. She writes occasionally about jihad and domestic politics, sometimes under the pen name of Brenda West.

This animated story opens with Emilio being dropped off at a nursing home. His son tells him that he will be happier there and leaves with a short goodbye. Emilio was a banker in life and has early Alzheimers. Miguel is his talkative roommate who gives him a tour. Miguel is truthful about getting old and how the place works. There is a pool that nobody uses but it looks good and makes the families feel better knowing it's there. Miguel cons residents out of small fees for things they will never need or use. He charges a woman for the phone so she can call her son to come and pick her up. She will forget that she intended to call. He makes a little money and she feels a little better trying to get home.
Miguel is a single never married man without children alone in old age in the nursing home. He warns Emilio to avoid the top floor. People who cannot care for themselves end up there. Some are restrained in their beds or controlled with medicine. Dolores cares for her husband Modesto and keeps him off that floor. They lock them up there when the family no longer cares. Antonia protests that view and says that she is here by choice to not be a burden on her family.
One morning Emilio wakes and seems to have lost his wallet. Miguel tells him that they'll look for it later since that day is gym day. The guys really like Wednesday for the therapist is well built. They drop the ball on purpose so she has to bend over. Another day Emilio loses his watch and accuses Miguel of stealing. Emilio searches the room and finds Miguel's cigar box filled with money and a stash of pills. Miguel returns angry over the mistrust. The money is for independence and the pills for self-deliverance. Miguel offers to share the pills if Emilio finds his memory loss too difficult, but Emilio says he would never do that.
Seasons come and go and one day Emilio has had it and decides to leave. Miguel agrees to help and the two along with Antonia escape one night. The three crash their car and the escape fails. Emilio's injuries and loss of memory put him on the upper floor, Antonia has a broken arm, and Miguel returns alone in his room and opens his bag of pills. They spill on the floor. As he is picking up the pills, he sees a black sock stuck under Emilio's mattress. He finds the missing watch and wallet and begins to cry. Miguel has a new outlook on life. Instead of using his fellow residents, he begins to help them.

The film was produced through Perro Verde Films and co-produced by Cromosoma. The budget was two million euros. 75% of the animation work was done in Spain; the rest was outsourced to the Philippines.[2]
Wrinkles premiered on September 19, 2011 at the San Sebastián International Film Festival. Neil Young of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "a genuine crowd pleaser deserving of the widest possible exposure" and "one of the most accomplished Spanish films, from any genre, of recent years." Young wrote: "Wrinkles takes a commendably unsentimental and nuanced approach to a complex subject, one that avoids melodramatic situations and simplistic characterizations while adhering to certain conventions of this particular subgenre.... There's no shortage of genuine poignancy here and though Nani Garcia's score largely hits conventional, predictable beats, each tear is hard earned and never simply 'jerked.' Ferreras' animation style is realistic and direct with close attention paid to tiny specifics of decor, clothing and gesture."[3] Fionnuala Halligan wrote in Screen Daily: "Ignacio Ferreras worked on Sylvain Chomet's Oscar-nominated The Illusionist and he carries the flame forward here with the moving cel animation Wrinkles (Arrugas), easily one of the better films to emerge from San Sebastian this year." Halligan praised the characterisations of the two main characters and their relationship and wrote: "Some of the story's other aspects are more broadly sketched, however, and they could occasionally be accused of labelling out the pathos too liberally ... There are nicely-judged moments of humour, however, and Wrinkles restrains itself in a most dignified manner when it comes to the inevitable, but tender, denouement."[4] The postscript to the film is "dedicated to all the old people of today and of tomorrow".

Benefits of Picking the Best Commercial Office Cleaning Company
As a business owner, getting constant visitors to your place of work is normal. There is also a lot of movement from your employees around the office. What this means is that you need to make sure that your office is a place people look forward coming to. You can get a professional cleaning service that will make your office space look spotless.
Personal image of an individual says a lot about the person. It's also cheaper to find the cleaners to come together with their machinery as opposed to renting one. When an office is clean, it tells the customers that "we care how you see us and doing business with you is of importance to us". The more people are aware of this, the more they will want to do business with you and will refer even their friends who mean more revenue to the company.
You will save money because you won't have put in house cleaners on your payroll. You won't have to acquire cleaning services in a long time considering that the cleaners do a good job. They aim to provide quality services to their clients and make sure the customer is satisfied.
If you want your customers to take you seriously, you have to maintain your image, both on a personal level and on your working space. First impressions matter. You need always to make sure that your office space is clean to give a good picture to both your clientele and your employees.
You want your employees to be at their best when they are doing their work. You don't want to have more than one staff member out of office due to health problems which came about because of the cleanliness of your office. A clean office environment is conducive for working. Subsequently, this translates to productivity because there won't be many workers away from work because of illness.
When you're running a business, time is a crucial aspect. You will need to get as much work done as possible. Getting a corporate cleaning company to clean your office will help you focus on what is important to you. They will do it in the shortest time possible early in the morning before official working hours begin.
Nowadays, these companies have modern equipment which dries up an office quickly. Another method you could use does online research. Just make sure that you read the reviews and ask for previous work done. Your cleanliness standards should be met by them and get ready to perform the job over again if you're not happy with the outcomes. A good source of finding the best commercial cleaning service company is by asking someone who has used their services previously.

The six points of Calvinism
Many people have heard of the "five points of Calvinism," summarized in the acronym TULIP. Here I present the same ideas restated in somewhat more modern language. The problem with the old TULIP phrasing is that many or most of the words used in that acronym are difficult for people today to understand accurately—those of us who hold to a Calvinistic interpretation of Scripture have to spend a fair amount of time explaining away wrong understandings of those words. So here is my updated version, which is also slightly expanded to include elements I think are crucial in all modern Calvinist thinking. I even was able to make a cute acronym, which is quite appropriate: CALVIN.
Comprehensive brokenness. This used to be called "total depravity." In many people's minds, that means "as wicked as possible." That is not what that Calvinism teaches. The correct…

Learn how publishers can capitalize on the marketing services boom at the Publishing & Media Lab, Sept. 11th.
For about a decade, technology has been viewed as the death knell for traditional media. Newsrooms are laying off staff in droves, and local news bureaus are shutting down. During the years of this turbulent transition, traditional media outlets have struggled to find business models that work. They've established paywalls, experimented with native advertising, built mobile apps and watched as social media absorbed their loyal readers.
Traditional display advertising on the web is in trouble. Fewer people are clicking on banners, yields for publishers are static or falling, and many users shut off ads completely. YouGov's research for this report shows that in both the US and UK between a third and a half of online news users use software that blocks the most popular forms of display advertising.
Against this background it is not surprising that content providers, brands, and platforms are looking for new and better ways to reach and engage audiences.
Publishing Executive is excited to announce that it has partnered with the leading authority on content marketing to launch an educational lab to help publishers capitalize on the content marketing boom. In collaboration with the Content Marketing Institute, Publishing Executive will lead the Publishing & Media Lab at Content Marketing World in Cleveland on September 11th.
Washington, DC, New York, NY; June 3, 2015 -- James R. Gaines is joining The Atlantic as director of content for Atlantic Re:think, the company's creative marketing group, Publisher Hayley Romer announced today. A newsroom leader with decades of experience at some of the most prominent titles in America, Gaines will oversee all content for the group, which creates native advertising and branded content campaigns in the spirit of The Atlantic's mission to publish ideas-rich journalism.
Oslo, Norway - Jun 2, 2015 - Global data and personalization technology company Cxense ASA (OSLO: CXENSE) has announced its intention to acquire leading ad optimization company Maxifier from Dentsu Digital Holding, Eurovestech, and Fieldhelm.
Politico has hired aDell marketing executive to help build and run a department called Politico Focus that will create content for brands -- a first for the political news organization.
Stephanie Losee, who helped build Dell's content-driven marketing and held the title of managing editor, has joined Politico as its executive director of brand content. Her career began as a tech reporter with Fortune magazine.
Viewability is an increasingly important term in the media industry. It is an advertising metric that attempts to track only impressions that readers actually see. Measuring impressions alone does not indicate that a reader scrolled down the page see a particular ad. Understandably, more and more advertisers are beginning to expect viewability metrics before they partner with a publisher. In the following Q&A Denise Colella, former CEO of Maxifier -- an ad performance optimizer for publishers and advertisers -- explains why publishers need to pay attention to this metric and how they can integrate it into their analytics.
Anyone who's worked as a magazine writer will tell you that while a significant number of women read men's magazines like GQ and Esquire, which have a reputation for publishing authors now canonized in the annals of American 20th century literature, far fewer men read women's magazines like Elle and Cosmopolitan.
So where should female magazine writers get their work published if they want to be read by as broad an audience as possible? General-interest magazines offer them limited space, publishing articles largely written by men; according to the 2014 Vida Count,
Some felt it would revolutionize journalism. Others thought it might be the beginning of its destruction. But on Wednesday, what readers mostly saw in Facebook Instant Articles, the new format by which news organizations are publishing directly on Facebook, was an eclectic mix of articles rather than a clear signal of what is to come.
BuzzFeed's first offering was a list titled "13 Steps to Instantly Improve Your Day." National Geographic presented an article on breeding a hardier bee, with pictures and videos that revealed the insects in minute detail.

*work/personal question buffer*
I never know what to do when getting hit on at work. Whether by a male or female, I just try to be friendly and not flirt back. It is just such an odd sensation to me. I think I feel weird about it because I would never purposefully do that to anyone while they were working because it is neither the place or the time to do that in my mind. Because you are at work and that isn't a social kind of place, if you get what I mean.
For example this somewhat attractive guy my age was just in getting a tail light socket for his Outback and I could feel and see the "look up and down" eyes and there was body language there and even though I was the only one here today, I still felt the need to not flirt or anything back. I guess it is also I just don't discuss my orientation at work, especially since it is the automotive field and a conservative area I just prefer not to have the judgment if there was going to be any. But it isn't that I hide it. I brought my significant other to every work Christmas dinner and a couple other functions for four years while he and I were dating.
I guess I just sometimes feel like I am wrong to want to keep my private life and feelings separate from work when there are so many people that fight for the right to be whoever you are, wherever you are. Am I wrong?

Tweety Bird Diaper Cake
I wanted to make my little cousin's shower special, and as hostess, I wanted it to be well-remembered as well. I searched the net for new ideas and games and decorations. I just so happened to have stumbled upon this site and decided to try my hand at a diaper cake.
My cousin is having a girl, and she loves Tweety Bird so I used the character as a theme. I knew my cousin would want something elegant and pink, so I used different tones of the color in the ribbon.I also added roses, baby's breath, and leaves. I used ribbon, wire ribbon, yarn to attach the diapers, a bottle of lotion, and a bottle of baby oil, (because I fanned the diapers, instead of rolling them)this gave me a nice, tight foundation.
I also decorated the cake with mini carriages, baby blocks, baby bottles and safety pins! Needless to say, it was a big hit, and I had orders pouring in...off my first attempt. It CAN ONLY GET BETTER!! Will keep you updated!!
