Miniaturized satellite
The lead section of this article may need to be rewritten. (June 2011) |
Miniaturized satellites[citation needed] or small satellites are artificial satellites of low mass and size, usually under 500 kg (1,100 lb). While all such satellites can be referred to as small satellites, different classifications are used to categorize them based on mass (see below).
One reason for miniaturizing satellites is to reduce the cost: heavier satellites require larger rockets with greater thrust which also has greater cost to finance. In contrast, smaller and lighter satellites require smaller and cheaper launch vehicles and can sometimes be launched in multiples. They can also be launched 'piggyback', using excess capacity on larger launch vehicles. Miniaturized satellites allow for cheaper designs as well as ease of mass production, although few satellites of any size other than 'communications constellations' where dozens of satellites are used to cover the globe, have been mass-produced in practice.
Besides the cost issue, the main rationale for the use of miniaturized satellites is the opportunity to enable missions that a larger satellite could not accomplish, such as:
- Constellations for low data rate communications
- Using formations to gather data from multiple points
- In-orbit inspection of larger satellites
- University-related research
Classification groups[edit]
The term "minisatellite" usually refers to an artificial satellite with a "wet mass" (including fuel) between 100 and 500 kg (220 and 1,100 lb),[1][2] though these are usually simply called "small satellites". Minisatellites are usually simpler but use the same technologies as larger satellites.[citation needed]
Examples: Demeter, Essaim, Parasol, Picard, Microscope, Taranis, Elisa, Smese, SSOT, Smart-1, Spirale, Jason-1, Jason-2.
Microsatellite or "microsat" is usually applied to the name of an artificial satellite with a wet mass between 10 and 100 kg (22 and 220 lb).[1][2] However, this is not an official convention and sometimes microsats can refer to satellites larger than that. Sometimes designs or proposed designs from some stats of these types have microsatellites working together or in a formation.[citation needed] The generic term "small satellite" or "smallsat" is also sometimes used.[3]
Except the mass,[clarification needed] the size of satellite is important too.
Examples: Astrid-1 and Astrid-2,[citation needed] as well as the set of satellites currently announced for LauncherOne (below).[3]
Microsatellite launch vehicle[edit]
A number of commercial and military-contractor companies are currently developing microsatellite launch vehicles to perform the increasingly-targeted launch requirements of microsatellites. While microsatellites have been carried to space for many years as secondary payloads aboard larger launchers, the secondary payload paradigm does not provide the specificity required for many increasingly sophisticated small satellites which have unique orbital and launch-timing requirements.[4]
In July 2012, Virgin Galactic announced LauncherOne, an orbital launch vehicle designed to launch "smallsat" payloads of 100 kilograms (220 lb) into low-Earth orbit, with launches projected to begin in 2016. Several commercial customers have already contracted for launches, including GeoOptics, Skybox Imaging, Spaceflight Services, and Planetary Resources. Both Surrey Satellite Technology and Sierra Nevada Space Systems are developing satellite buses "optimized to the design of LauncherOne."[3] Virgin Galactic has been working on the LauncherOne concept since late 2008.[5]
In December 2012, DARPA announced that the DARPA ALASA program would provide the microsat launch vehicle booster for another DARPA program that is intending to release a "constellation of 24 micro-satellites (~20 kilograms (44 lb) range) each with 1-meter imaging resolution."[6]
In April 2013, Garvey Spacecraft was awarded a USD$200,000 contract to evolve their Prospector 18 suborbital launch vehicle technology into an orbital nanosat launch vehicle capable of delivering a 10 kilograms (22 lb) payload into a 250 kilometres (160 mi) orbit to an even-more-capable clustered "20/450 Nano/Micro Satellite Launch Vehicle" (NMSLV) capable of delivering 20 kilograms (44 lb) payloads into 450 kilometres (280 mi) circular orbits.[7]
The Boeing Small Launch Vehicle is an air-launched three-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle concept aimed to launch small payloads of 100 pounds (45 kg) into low-Earth orbit. The program is proposed to drive down launch costs for U.S. military small satellites to as low as US$300,000 per launch ($7,000/kg) and, if the development program was funded, could be as of 2012[update] be operational by 2020.[8]
The Swiss company Swiss Space Systems (S3) has announced plans in 2013 to develop a suborbital spaceplane named SOAR that would launch a microsat launch vehicle capable of putting a payload of up to 250 kilograms (550 lb) into low-Earth orbit.[9]
The term "nanosatellite" or "nanosat" is applied to an artificial satellite with a wet mass between 1 and 10 kg (2.2 and 22 lb).[1][2] Designs and proposed designs of these types may be launched individually, or they may have multiple nanosatellites working together or in formation, in which case, sometimes the term "satellite swarm" [10] or "fractionated spacecraft" may be applied. Some designs require a larger "mother" satellite for communication with ground controllers or for launching and docking with nanosatellites.
With continued advances in the miniaturization and capability increase of electronic technology and the use of satellite constellations, nanosatellites are increasingly capable of performing commercial missions that previously required microsatellites.[11] For example, a 6U CubeSat standard has been proposed to enable a constellation of 35 8 kg (18 lb) Earth-imaging satellites to replace a constellation of five 156 kg (344 lb) RapidEye Earth-imaging satellites, at the same mission cost, with significantly increased revisit time: every area of the globe can be imaged every 3.5 hours rather than the once per 24 hours with RapidEye constellation. More rapid revisit time is a significant improvement for nations doing disaster response, which was the purpose of the RapidEye constellation. Additionally, the nanosat option would allow more nations to own their own satellite for off-peak (non-disaster) imaging data collection.[11]
Nanosatellite developers and manufacturers include NovaWurks[12] and Dauria Aerospace[13]
Nanosatellite launch vehicle[edit]
With the emergence of the technological advances of miniaturization and increased capital to support private spaceflight initiatives in the 2010s, several startups have been formed to pursue opportunities with developing a variety of small-payload Nanosatellite Launch Vehicle or NLV technologies.
NLVs proposed or under development include:
- Virgin Galactic LauncherOne upper stage, intended to be air-launched from WhiteKnightTwo similar to how the SpaceShipTwo spaceplane is launched.[14]
- Ventions Nanosat upper stage.[15]
- Nammo/Andøya North Star (polar orbit-capable launcher for a 10 kg (22 lb) payload)[16]
- The United States Army is developing the SWORDS launcher, aimed to deploy nanosatellites into "precise orbits from almost any location at an ultra-low cost."[17] SWORDS is an acronym for Soldier-Warfighter Operationally Responsive Deployer for Space. Design payloads could be as large as 25 kg (55 lb). The Army expects to make the initial orbital test flight during the summer of 2013.[17]
- As of April 2013[update], Garvey Spacecraft is evolving their Prospector 18 suborbital launch vehicle technology into an orbital nanosat launch vehicle capable of delivering a 10 kilograms (22 lb) payload into a 250 kilometres (160 mi) orbit.[7]
- NASA launched three satellites on April 21, 2013 based on smart phones. Two phones use the PhoneSat 1.0 specification and third used a beta version of PhoneSat 2.0[18]
Picosatellite or "picosat" (not to be confused with the PicoSAT series of microsatellites) is usually applied as the name of an artificial satellite with a wet mass between 0.1 and 1 kg (0.22 and 2.2 lb).[1][2] Again designs and proposed designs of these types usually have multiple picosatellites working together or in formation (sometimes the term "swarm" is applied). Some designs require a larger "mother" satellite for communication with ground controllers or for launching and docking with picosatellites. The CubeSat design, with approximately 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) mass, is an example of a large picosatellite (or minimum nanosat).[citation needed]
Picosatellites are emerging as a new alternative for Do It Yourself (DIY) kitbuilders. Picosatellites are currently commercially available across the full range of 0.1–1 kilogram (3.5–35 oz). Launch opportunities are now available for $12,000 to $18,000 for sub-1 kg picosat payloads that are approximately the size of a soda can.[19] as well as for the much smaller "Sprite" picosatellite whose builder, KickSat, plans to launch 250 of the "cracker-size satellites" into low-Earth orbit (LEO) on a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicle in late 2013.[20]
Femtosatellite or "femtosat" is usually applied as the name of an artificial satellite with a wet mass between 10 and 100 g (0.35 and 3.5 oz).[1][2] Like picosatellites, some designs require a larger "mother" satellite for communication with ground controllers. KickSat Sprites "chipsats" would be in this weight class.
Three prototype "chip satellites" were launched to the ISS on Space Shuttle Endeavor on its final mission in May 2011. They were attached to the ISS external platform Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE-8) for testing.[21]
Technical challenges[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2013) |
Micro/nanosats usually require innovative propulsion, attitude control, communication and computation systems.
Larger satellites usually use monopropellants or bipropellant combustion rockets for propulsion and attitude control; these systems are complex and require a minimal amount of volume to surface area to dissipate heat. These systems are used on larger microsats, while other micro/nanosats have to use electric propulsion, compressed gas, vaporizable liquids such as butane or carbon dioxide or other innovative propulsion systems that are simple, cheap and scalable.
Microsats can use conventional radio systems in UHF, VHF, the S-band and X-band, although often miniaturized using more up-to-date technology as compared to larger satellites. Tiny satellites such as nanosats and small microsats may lack the power supply or mass for large conventional radio transponders, and various miniaturized or innovative communications systems have been proposed, such a laser receivers, antenna arrays and satellite to satellite communication networks. Few of these have been demonstrated in practice.
Electronics need to be rigorously tested and modified to be "space hardened" or resistant to the outer space environment (vacuum, microgravity, thermal extremes, and radiation exposure). Miniaturized satellites allow for the opportunity to test new hardware with reduced expense in testing. Furthermore, since the overall cost risk in the mission is much lower, more up-to-date but less space-proven technology can be incorporated into micro and nanosats than can be used in much larger, more expensive missions with less appetite for risk.
Some manufacturers[edit]
Manufacturers of microsatellites include SpaceDev and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.[citation needed]

They -- nomination battle is looming in Washington President Obama getting -- to unveil the rest of his new national security team.
The White House saying the president will nominate former Republican senator Chuck Hagel to be his next Defense Secretary.
And counterterrorism advisor John Brennan to run the CIA both considered somewhat controversial -- -- will face a tough confirmation process but.
What challenges will the new national security team face general Jack he's a retired four star general former.
Vice chief of staff of the army also Fox News military analyst -- -- in general and good morning to you.
-- to go to some of the controversy apparently stems from some Republicans and some Democrats who.
Who don't like -- goes record on Israel with regard to Brennan of apparently has supported enhanced interrogation techniques.
During the bush years and so that will be focused during this.
But when you look at the world.
But this is an entire -- do agree national security team with John Kerry possibly.
John Brennan and Chuck Hagel that I just mentioned.
Know what what what it would do you believer what do you lists is the greatest challenge.
Facing this -- and national security now John.
Well first of all we have a war that -- federation in Afghanistan is a couple of key decisions that the national security team will be advising the president on.
One will be what's the size and scope with a force we're gonna leave behind and will we leave behind -- force.
And and not do what we did in Iraq which is remove the -- -- in two.
How much support we're gonna provide to the Afghan national security forces so they can sustain.
Their operations without us and and I think that the major issue.
Is the Middle East itself.
And and that is clearly the rise.
Radical Islam in the Middle East -- taken advantage of the contours of revolutionary change that are unfolding right before arrives as governments in transition.
There's others -- -- -- -- destabilize then there's a couple of them that are on the precipice.
Jordan possibly -- And even Kuwait we're very much aware what's happened in Libya and Egypt no -- got got a major challenge unfold in front of our -- in Syria.
And they have to make up their minds whether they're gonna still continue to sit on offense in Syria.
Or take a hand in it and and try to influence the outcome that you mentioned you.
-- in Kuwait you're the one of the few they even talks about Kuwait -- something really have not consider you do not know the outcome in Syria.
But but but but do you have a sense based on the list of nominees.
About how they would handle those.
No I think they'll execute.
President Obama's -- -- policy which I -- I believe on stated is to disengage from the Middle East.
And it'd be as minimally involved as possible -- no troops left behind in Iraq how we handled the situation.
In Libya.
How -- now -- in the situation in Syria there's a stalemate in Syria.
The rebels and not have enough forces.
And they do not have enough supplies to sustain major combat operations deceased Damascus.
And as long as -- -- Scott air supremacy.
In other words whose fighter airplanes and his helicopter gun ships.
They're gonna maintain and an upper hand for some -- become the sad thing bill is that the casualties will rise during this period of stalemate.
Because the fighting -- going to continue during this period.
And it right now such 60000 -- it'll probably climb -- well in excess of -- 100000 as the world continues to watch.
-- I thought the asides features a signal that his side is winning and that that's why he went public for the first time in weeks if not months.
Back to the issue President Obama you believe he wants to be disengaged.
From the events of the Middle East explain that.
Well I think I think.
Does -- I I think he looked at the war in Iraq in a war in Afghanistan.
And said.
Never again wars in the Middle East and as a result of that his his policy has been very timid.
And we've walked away from many of our friends in the Middle East as a result of I've never seen the level of frustration with America.
With our friends in the Middle East that's present there now really the strategic surprise that Obama has had much like bush had 9/11 -- And Clinton had Milosevic and and bush won the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The fact of the matter is his strategic surprise -- the Arab Spring.
And a note and a revolutionary change that a sweeping across.
The Middle East and we have decided to sort of sit on the fence and watch it not a radicals while they're not the reason for the change -- up the catalyst for a there -- all live and it trying to take advantage of it and up.
And power shifts to take -- places results of that as the United States does not take an active role.
And stands back and watches this unfold because we do not want to be involved -- potential conflict so a lot of that is behind us now.
And we can't reverse the course that has already been set.
But we might be able to influence what is coming our way now.
What should we do.
Well I I would hope that the new.
National security team will reassess our policy.
In the Middle East and to see if that is actually working and talked to our -- in the region.
And I think they would they would given and fearful about some of the things that.
That we can do clearly the rise of radical Islam and al-Qaeda is not in.
In the interest of the stable.
Nations in the Middle East it's not in our national interest as well out of those.
Out of those regimes and bases will grow very aggressive behavior for the region and for outside the region as well.
And the other thing looming on the horizon for this and the -- national security team is -- wrong.
And the decision still have to be made about Iran this year.
You need to Ronnie and stop the development of nuclear weapons at that does not take place.
I think we can all make up a pretty simple assumption that the Israelis will consult -- about it.
This year.
General thank you Kerry -- -- -- if all approved a lot of responsibility.
Not just here but around the world and every corner -- you can find today Jack -- thanks in Washington.

The hold of the cavernous black ship is stuffed full of people, creating an immense body heat that permeates everything. Despite the psykic shielding stopping any of the dangerous and unstable cargo from lashing out with their minds and hurting the others around them, a psykic sense of depression permeates the entire ship. The thousands of helpless men and women shoved into the cargo hold like farm animals. Most of them are dirty, unwashed and smelly. All of them are underfed. One man dangerously close by his coughing into a bloody rag, sending goblets of red flying across the room near him. Servo skulls and cherubrim hover over their heads, keeping the human cargo calm and making sure that order is kept. On the gantries above storm troopers move, looking down at them. They are to small to truly see at this distance and in the darkness of the high ceiling, but the lights on their guns shine from the gloom.
A man is looking closely at Fallin, he is big and unwashed and ugly, just like everyone else around her. He looks like he just really wants to hurt someone, the frustration that these people feel as they are shipped sometimes for decades at a time through the void is immense.

Did 19 Muslims burn Korans on 9-11-2001?
by Jacques Ditte As the threat of a "Koran burning" turned into a Category 5 media-hysteria storm, I suddenly wondered about the protocol regarding the disposing of a Koran. Being a devout Judeo-Christian ( aka "infidel") and not being versed in the rules regarding the destruction or disposal of a Koran, I wondered if there was a precedent regarding instances of Koran burning, and wondered | Read More »

Alumni Profiles
Want to know what Watkins alumni are up to? Read below for more details.
Amanda Dillingham - Fine Arts - 2005
Why did you choose Watkins? I originally attended the Art Institute in Atlanta. It didn't really fit what I wanted in a degree program so I transferred to Watkins to stay in school until I figured out where I really wanted to go. After my first semester I knew that Watkins was exactly what I was looking for. The classes were small and the professors all wanted you to succeed. It was a really supportive environment.
How did your education here prepare you for your career? Watkins definitely prepared me for graduate school. I came into my graduate school program with a strong theoretical and studio background. It really allowed me to be pushed because instead of having to start with rudimentary readings I was able to skip ahead to read and write about theories that pertained specifically to my practice. Also, while at Watkins the former head of the program encouraged my friends and me to put on our own art shows with work we were doing for classes. This gave me experience for my current job as a gallery curator. The professors also gave us knowledge to apply for other shows. I just had a show here in Nashville but have also applied for shows most recently in Los Angeles and New Jersey. Having lots of exhibition history also helps with getting jobs as well as into graduate school.
What are you doing now? I currently work as the Gallery Curator at the Renaissance Center in Dickson, TN. On the side I freelance write for the Nashville Scene about art events around town. Finally, I am still pursuing a career as an artist, entering shows, as well as conferences and maintaining studio practice and research.
What did you like best about being a student here? I loved the community Watkins offers. Everyone in my class got along really well. Everyone supported and encouraged each other. Also, it is great how the faculty treats students more as peers. I think it encourages a level of dialogue that is really unique for an undergraduate school.
What was your favorite project that you worked on here? Doing the secret shows was the best project I was involved in. We had so much fun putting on these shows. The relaxed atmosphere made it a big event that people didn't want to miss and taught us tons about how to exhibit our own work, write statements and resumes, and how the audience would perceive it.
Why did you choose your particular field as a career? I had chosen graphic design, knowing that I really wanted to be a fine art major, because my parents were worried I wouldn't be able to get a job. After a semester at Watkins and many conversations with the professors I decided to change my major to what I loved. I knew if I put my mind to it, I could make it work somehow!
Lisa Stevens - Interior Design - 2009
Why did you choose Watkins?
I transferred to Watkins from Kendall College of Art & Design in Grand Rapids, MI. My biggest reason for transferring to Watkins was to be in a potentially better job market than Michigan and have better opportunities after graduation. Nashville is known for having a thriving economy and great appreciation for creative professions. Watkins had the accreditation I was looking for, and I was drawn to the small class sizes and convenient location to Downtown Nashville.
How did your education here prepare you for your career?
Watkins gave me a great foundation of knowledge that I gradually built upon in the professional world. I began interning very early in my education at Watkins, and had tons of professional work experience behind me by the time I graduated. Watkins also gave me opportunities to be a leader through orientation sessions, open houses, Student Government, and Student ASID & IIDA Chapters. Those experiences helped develop strong leadership skills that I now use professionally.
What are you doing now?
I am an Interior Designer at Thomas L. Anderson Architect, where I specialize in designing sacred space and commercial buildings. As a side project, I recently teamed up with a group of developers in Nashville to restore historic homes around Nashville and revitalize the neighborhoods. I became LEED-accredited in June '09 and enjoy designing LEED-certified buildings in the Nashville area. I love giving clients the opportunity to have a more sustainable story. Outside of my design profession, I recently opened Paper Finch Studio, a small fine art studio where I create and sell affordable, sustainable fine art.
What did you like best about being a student here?
I really enjoyed all the opportunities for involvement that Watkins offers. While there, I had opportunities to be a leader in several areas of service, volunteer work, and community involvement. Playing a major role in events and leadership at Watkins strengthened social networking and problem-solving skills that I would come to rely on professionally. Watkins also opened my eyes to a lot of issues facing our world today through various lectures and events, and gave me a broader perspective.
What was your favorite project that you worked on here?
I really enjoyed working on a hotel design in my Advanced Commercial Design class. Lajuana Gill was a fabulous professor and taught us so many valuable things about how contract documents are to be set up, how to organize a project binder, and so many technical aspects of a design project that has proved very useful professionally. I also got to experiment with color in texture in a way I hadn't done before. Another memorable project was my involvement with the annual "YArt" sales. I got to be involved with the early attempts and later to see the event become stronger and more widely publicized. It really helped me learn what the public is looking for when purchasing art.
Why did you choose you particular field as a career?
I chose Interior Design because I've always had a great passion for the spaces that surround us, and how they affect us. I love problem-solving and brainstorming creative solutions to design constraints. I love working out a design as a sketch on paper, and then watch as it transforms into a real space, occupied by real people whose lives can benefit from a space that functions better, and improves their quality of life. I love working and collaborating with clients to achieve spaces that go above and beyond their expectations. It's a really rewarding career!
Bill Cornelius- Film - 2005
Why did you choose Watkins? I chose Watkins because I was looking for a film college. Film had always been my passion and I didn't want to waste years at a regular college that didn't allow me the opportunities to learn and pursue my passion. Nashville is also close to my extended family in Kentucky, so it was nice to have them near.
How did your education here prepare you for your career? In addition to what I learned in class, I learned from working on various student film projects. In doing film at Watkins I feel like I was able to make all of my major mistakes before getting out into the professional world where making a big mistake could cost me a job. I also learned a lot about the film business in-general and the importance of networking.
What are you doing now? I started my own production company called Lavorsia Pictures Entertainment, which is named after my senior film at Watkins. I've been doing a lot of free-lance work, mostly directing, shooting, and editing music videos for various musicians around Nashville. I recently finished work on a documentary about the Bell Witch with fellow Watkins alum Zac Adams. I'm also in the midst of production on my first animated film. I try to keep myself continuously busy with no shortage of film projects.
What did you like best about being a student here? I was always overjoyed that I was actually going to a college for film. I'm glad I spent 4-years of my life learning about what I love, rather than wasting it somewhere else.
What was your favorite project that you worked on here? Probably my senior film "Lavorsia". It was the first film that I had written from the heart. Despite some trials and tribulations, I was very satisfied with the end product and felt a great sense of accomplishment being that it was my last student film.
Why did you choose your particular field as a career? I have been actively pursuing film since I was 8-years old. It's a joyous feeling for me to share my imagination with other people by way of film. I feel it was something I was born to do and will continue doing until I die.

Shaun Slifer - Fine Arts - 2004
Why did you choose Watkins? It was close to home (Memphis)and I could afford to go there, had a friend there from high school who was enjoying it. Turned out to be a good call.
How did your education here prepare you for your career?
I learned a good combination of discipline and craftsmanship, but most importantly my teachers changed the way I thought about art by being fully engaged with what I was doing and encouraging me to follow the ideas I dreamed up, guiding me to make them better. Much of that has stuck with me and I'm still in touch with many of the instructors.
What are you doing now? I am a working artist in Pittsburgh, holding down several part-time jobs and a full time vegetable garden. I am employed as an Artist Educator at the Andy Warhol Museum, I am integrally involved in several artist collectives, and I regularly produce and exhibit work in whatever media I can get my hands on.
What did you like best about being a student here? The instructors, the encouragement. The lake was nice too, especially when we had that canoe.
What was your favorite project that you worked on here? That's impossible to answer, come on! I had a blast on my thesis project though…
Why did you choose your particular field as a career? It dawned on me late in high school that I was never going to make it as a marine biologist. Best to recognize your strong points and make clean moves where possible, follow your gut, and no walking under the eaves when it's raining.

Lee Gilmore - Film - 2001
Why did you choose Watkins? I chose to go the Watkins because of it's location and it's affordability. I wanted to stay in the South during college and Watkins was my first choice. It had a good film program as well as other fine art classes I could take on the side.
How did your education here prepare you for your career? Watkins gave me a really great overall knowledge of the film making process, from all aspects of production down to the theory behind it. The school gave me the chance to figure out what areas of film I enjoyed the most and then provided the resources necessary for me to delve further in and get my hands dirty.
What are you doing now? I spent the last two years working as a sound effects editor in TV, working mainly on Law & Order:SVU and House. After working as an assistant sound editor on Live Free or Die Hard last year I decided I enjoyed working on features more and recently made the switch. I'm currently a sound effects editor on The Ugly Truth and then move on to Underworld3 and Terminator Salvation this fall.
What did you like best about being a student here? I liked having smaller classes which allowed the faculty to have a more hands on approach in their teaching. I enjoyed all the editions classes and film history was a blast.
What was your favorite project that you worked on here? We had a project in my sound design class where we had to recut the entire sound for a movie trailer of our choosing. It was my first real taste of sound editing and creating a believable world from literally nothing. I was hooked after the first day.
Why did you choose your particular field as a career? I love how subliminal and manipulative sound can be. It allows for as much creativity as you can muster. It's one of the most under-appreciated parts of film, but also one of the most powerful. Picture tells the story. Music makes you feel it. But sound makes you believe it.
Katie Bean de Souza - Graphic Design - 2005
Why did you choose Watkins? I already had a bachelor's degree when I decided to go back to school for a degree in graphic design and I wanted a school where I could really focus on my studies. Watkins seemed like the perfect school for what I needed.
How did your education here prepare you for your career? At Watkins I was able to focus on graphic design.
Whatare you doing now? I am working as an art director at redpepper, a Nashville-based advertising agency.
What was your favorite project that you worked on here? The Belly Dancing Festival Poster. The assignment was to create a poster for an unusual festival using only type (no photos and no illustrations). So, I created the shape of a belly dancer with type that read "More hip shaken' than a roomful of Elvis impersonators". It was a fun project. And it won a silver ADDY at the National level which just happened to be in Nashville that year. My boss at redpepper took my husband and me to the event in a limo to celebrate my big win and we had an awesome time.
Why did you choose your particular field as a career? As I mentioned before, I had already gotten a Bachelors degree in Journalism and Advertising. I worked at an advertising agency, as the production and traffic manager and saw what the graphic designers did - day in and day out. I knew that with the proper education and training that I could do that - and could be damn good at it too.

Face Disc Makeup Before and After Pics
The below pictures were taken at Lauren's office and the women only used Lauren Hutton Good Stuff Makeup. They are all unretouched. Isn't it amazing what the right makeup can do?
"I am 59 and thought I was already looking pretty good, but when I used the disc and followed Lauren's personal use advice I was amazed at how much better I looked. My face has that youthful glow again. I was so happy that I ordered the new lights eyemake up. When you use Lauren Hutton's makeup you really do see that the less make up look as you get older really is the best way to go. Thanks. Marianne" Marianne, OH |
"Your products are amazing! I don't wear makeup often & I avoid the "clown face" that my unpracticed hand produced with other makeup! Thank you! My 24-year-old daughter has been using your products most days for years as well. She looks polished - yet fresh + natural. Her boyfriend loves how she looks. One of my daughter's PhD friends at university wished they could look the way she does with makeup + I referred her to your site in Canada. We are amazed how well a product created for the older woman suits a younger woman so well. Every young girl wanting to start to wear makeup should be given your Face Disk + its instruction DVD. Genius! Pure genius! Thank you! My daughter is beautiful wearing the pink products + I thought I wore yellow until I saw photos, so I'll be ordering pink products from now on too! Thanks again..." Susan, Canada |
"Lauren a I have order from you before just because I have always been a fan. This time when I ordered I actually did each step with you and the cd. Oh my god the makeup is great my face looks great and it is so natural looking. I hate to wear makeup and I'm 53 and you made me look so great. Thank you so much." Alice, CA |
"I just wanted to let you know that the face discs rock. I'm 37 and my mother is 68 and we ordered the face discs for pink and yellow undertones. We even watch Lauren's instructive video and were both amazed with her tips. Lauren, thank you for coming up with this invisible make-up. I plan to tell all my friends about your make-up that is designed for us." Mary. London, Ontario Canada |
"I am forever addicted to the sheer concealer and the pooch cover, they have made all the difference in the world. You couldn't get this makeup away from me at gun point. I don't mind getting older, just don't want to look it!" Suzanne. Virginia |
"This is the best makeup I have ever worn, I have used it for over a year now. My make up always looks fresh, and moist, plus it really does not emphasize my over 40 skin. Now you have the mineral makeup, and I just requested it for my birthday present. I can't wait to try it. All the other mineral stuff on the market shows off enlarged pores and lines. It really looks ugly on older skin. Thanks Lauren for all your great products." Kay. Florida |
"This product is perfect in every way. Lauren's brushes are the best you can find. Following tips from the video and you can become an expert of wearing make-up to achieve a natural look. The result is you look great wearing make-up rather than your make-up looking good." Cynthia. South Carolina |
"I love this product! It makes putting on makeup so easy. You can hardly tell you have it on, and it looks great. It gives great coverage. I tell everyone I know about this product. At age 41, I look better than when I was 30." Dixie . Ohio |
"Absolutely Wonderful! I believed the commercials and when I received my disc and used it the first time, I was shocked. So was my mother. I am 47 years old and I look pretty darn good. It fills in the wrinkles subtly and evens out my complexion, without a bunch of crap on my skin. I took it to work and showed a friend and my boss. My boss who is about 20 years older than me thought it was spectacular and she ordered her own disc. Definitely makes a difference." Valerie. Arkansas |
"I admit to being a makeup junkie and searching endlessly for the perfect product. Well my search is over and my life is forever simplified. "Good Stuff" is all that I want and all that I need. I am pleased with the quality, the colors, and the ease of application, and how the product feels on my skin. I feel great about how I look and I am amazed at how long my make-up looks fresh." C.S. |
"...I thought your face disk looked too simple, too good to be true, but the information you gave during the (HSN) show and the candor and sincerity with which you delivered your product spoke to me. I ordered it and gave it a try. At first I looked at the colors and thought they were too neutral to do anything really significant for me, but I had an open mind. I followed the script for application and was amazed and thrilled at the transformation that took place on my face! I had not felt that good about my appearance since I was a young girl! The bottom line is that you face disk is THE BEST THING on the market and you have to get more people aware of it's existence. I can see this product being used on my daughters as they begin to use makeup because it will give them just enough product to enhance their darling faces without an unnatural look. Every age group can benefit from the disk, but especially older gals who want to look great while still looking like themselves. You have done women a great service by developing this product. You should be so proud! I liked my disk so much, I looked into your other products and now use your shine free moisturizer and the AquaPress to help reduce lines and wrinkles. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE your stuff! It isn't just GOOD STUFF, it is the BEST STUFF out there." N.G. Creve Coeur, MO |
"For years my friends have called me the ambassador of beauty, as I have tried and tested most cosmetics on the market. I will turn fifty this year and was having a very difficult time finding any products that worked for me. Then I discovered Good Stuff. I loved it from the first application. (The pooch tip is unbelievably transforming). The results were brightness and clarity, not a made-up look. Now my drawers are empty except for Good Stuff and I intend on using your product until I can no longer see to put them on! As you said, it only takes about seven minutes to apply and that is the most important aspect of Good Stuff. I am continually working on simplifying my life and Good Stuff fits right in. Thank you Lauren!!" M.D. Prospect, KY |
"I'm a true believer that less is more! I've never used foundation because besides the uneven coverage and makeup residue left on shirt collars, it has always seemed to highlight my imperfections and lines rather than camouflage them. Your face disc provides the simplicity and essential products I was looking for in makeup. I often travel with my job and appreciate the fact that I have all I need in one compact disc. The face disc provides a quick and uncomplicated way to look natural and feel good about the way I look each day! My 24 year old daughter was home visiting not long after I received the makeup and she tried it and loved it too. I ended up ordering her the disc and brush set from your web site for an early Christmas gift. We've both had many compliments on our "natural look". Thanks for the makeup and making life easier for the both of us!" J.B. Geff, IL |
"Putting makeup on now is kind of a no brainer. I don't have to think about which color blush or which color lipstick, etc. My choices now are simple and I know that any color I choose from your makeup will be the right color. It's amazing how many people have asked me if I've lost weight. I think that is because of the contour colors that I have been using. They make my face look slimmer. I never realized that my eyebrows would look so much better with just a little color, now I know that is important. I have gained an amazing knowledge on applying makeup from watching you on TV and watching your Tape!" S.M. |
"Long story short: In the eight months I've been using the AquaPress system and the Face Disc, I've become a devotee of the Hutton line. Quick, easy to use, and effective and affordable. Who could ask for more? P.S. Your customer support system is, in the words of my students, "awesome!" Recently I had a technical problem placing an order, and a real person contacted me! Not a form letter, a REAL person!!" J.W. Minneapolis, MN |
"Since I have started using your makeup, I cannot tell you how many times I have heard "you are how old??" I am a grandmother of four, soon to be five. When I was younger I dreaded the day that I would turn 45. But let me tell you, it really doesn't bother me. Especially since I have your makeup to help me look as young as I feel." L.L. |
"Your AquaPress product is wonderful! My skin looks so youthful. Co-workers, customers and acquaintances think I am ten years younger than I really am. Personally, I was not going for the youthful look but I do enjoy the compliments. I was really looking for convenience, affordability, and a more natural look but the major reason for trying the AquaPress product line was that I was hoping for some repair of my weathered and sun damaged skin. I found AquaPress did just that!" M.J. |
"The Face Disc is great. I don't have to open jars and tubes, it's all right there. I have already replaced the Light Concealer, Lip Balm and Pooch & Nose, (which I use for eye shadow). The Light Concealer works better than the Chanel and Prescriptives I used previously, and the Spot Concealer is true magic! Being able to order each product as needed is a great advantage. I am a true face disc addict and appreciate how easily it travels." L.B. New York, NY |
"My grandmother was from the South and always used expressions for Black Women like Dark Brown Skin or Light Brown Skin...and she always complained that Black women do not have the different makeup color choices that will compliment all our skin tone. Lauren Hutton's Face Disc for Dark tone skin is the best I have ever worn, and that includes Fashion Fair, Mac or Bobby Brown. It has the best colors for the Dark Brown skin tone, my grandmother would have loved it." D.D. |
"I love this make-up! I just turned 45 and have tried lots of products. The one thing the others tend to do is make one look older. Plus you end-up carrying a ton of stuff in your purse. Your make-up provides the coverage without heavy materials that crack over the day, adding the correct coverage and coloring to my face in a light and non-drying fashion, which creates a more natural and youthful appearance. The convenience of the disk, is fantastic! It fits even in my smaller handbags. The amount of product one receives for the price is a real deal. And did I mention the brushes? The brush set is unlike any others I have. The precision that one can get with the brush set is amazing. I am extremely pleased with this product!" H.G. |
"I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for this make-up! It has given me my youthful good looks back to me. Everyone I know who has seen me since I've started using Lauren's Good Stuff, cannot get over how youthful I look, how fresh my face is, they are *astonished* with the results, and those who don't know me, are taken aback when they discover that I'm actually pushing 50 instead 35. I have spent thousands of dollars in the last decade alone on very expensive department store products -- I will never use them ever again. They cannot do for me what your product does. I am forever grateful and a confirmed, loyal client. :)" Dana - Idaho |
"This is a wonderful product! I have tried many products that are supposed to be light and hide flaws, but this is the absolute best. I am 66 years old and it feels like nothing on my skin. My skin feels so smooth. Thank goodness for Lauren Hutton!" Barbara - Texas |

Encod, the European coalition for just and effective drug policies, has presented a manifest for safe and healthy drug policies today, at a special hearing in the European Parliament. It contains ten recommendations to the European Council, made by the European Parliament in 2004, that have never been implemented.
And to encourage the government of Mr. Mujica to persevere in its efforts to bring the different prohibited substances under the control of society, the Drugs Peace Institute, PlantaTuPlanta (Collective of Uruguayan growers) and the Latin American Coalition of Cannabis Activists (CLAC), propose the candidacy of Mr. Jose Mujica Cordano for the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, and invite all those qualified, to nominate him, and call on the international marihuana users community to enlist these nominators.
The Legalizace.cz association will not idly sit by and allow this catastrophic violation of civil rights and freedoms to go on. For that reason it calls for A DEMONSTRATION AGAINST THE LIQUIDATION OF GROWSHOPS which will take place on Saturday, 9 November 2013 from 8pm at the Old Town Square in Prague.
"We urge all those who share our concern over this loathsome manifestation of power play and police despotism to show their support to the prosecuted growshop owners and to the legalization of marijuana by taking part in the event. While there is still time, let us SAY NO TO A POLICE STATE!" adds Michal Řehák, another member of the association.
The current head of our "drug enforcement agency" was loudly voicing his plan to fight all growshops. His name is Jakub Frydrych and he is Anslinger-type of person, doesnt have qualification or proper education in drug policies, but is more a hit-hard prohibitionist police officer. He was encouraged a few months ago by a supreme court ruling in one case saying that gshops cant sell growing equipment + books about growing + seeds because it qualifies for "spreading drug abuse" (we have a pretty special word in Czech - toxikomanie), so all the gshops had to split into three or stop selling some of these items.
The 13 members of the VOCM will temporarily take the market out off the hands of the illegal dealers by opening their doors for all, including non-residents, on May 5th, 2013, which is Annual Liberation Day in The Netherlands. The goal of this action is to reduce public nuisance and protect the health of every cannabis consumer ('regardless their nationality).

He was praised for his work, his philanthropy and his education advocacy. Judge Carl Colloms will officially hang up his robe as child support master today.
The Charleston native began his professional career in law in September 1966.
On hand Thursday afternoon at the Bradley County Courthouse for a small retirement ceremony were family and colleagues of the celebrated judge.
"He earned his retirement," said Assistant Justice of the Tennessee Supreme Court Sharon Lee.
Colloms served the community as an attorney, a Bradley County government leader, a developer of neighborhoods and health care facilities through partnerships and business ventures, and continues to be an advocate of education and the study of law.
According to Lee, Colloms has heard more than 60,000 cases during his tenure as the child support master — or referee.
She said he had a "calm judicial temperament."
State Rep. Eric Watson, R-Cleveland representing the 22nd Legislative District, and state Sen. Mike Bell, R-Riceville representing the 9th Senatorial District, presented Colloms with proclamations from the House, Senate and the governor's office.
Colloms graduated from Charleston High School in 1960 after attending Arnold and Charleston Elementary schools. He went to Tennessee Wesleyan College and earned a bachelor of arts degree, then to the University of Tennessee where he received his doctor of jurisprudence.
Colloms practiced law in his private business and then became the Bradley County attorney in 1969. In 1974, Colloms was elected Bradley County judge, a position that pre-dated what is now recognized as county executive.
Colloms then became the 10th Judicial District Child Support Master in 1988.
During his career, he continued to give back to his schools.
Colloms gifted a $1 million scholarship to the U.T. College of Law and committed $500,000 from his estate to Tennessee Wesleyan College in Athens.
In a quote to the Daily Post Athenian, Colloms said, "My church's Sunday school lesson a couple of weeks ago was about leaving a legacy and I want to leave a decent one. Tennessee Wesleyan is heading in an amazing direction and I wanted to be a part of that."
Judge Amy Reed said Bradley County had been blessed with a "generous man."
Colloms said during his busy career, he has not had the opportunity to experience a lot of things outside of his job.
"I am hoping there are a lot of good things out there to experience that we haven't got to experience due to such a busy schedule," Colloms said.

If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
..... and at this point I'm wondering if that was a good idea.
*** Spoilers ***
Obviously there's been sex, violence and horror in Season 1. But in the second season all three appear to have been ramped up.
Episode 2 contained back to back sex scenes at one point as well as Theon's horse ride with his sister.
Episode 4 definately moved firmly into horror bordering on torture porn, and not being a fan of that genre I found some of the scenes quite unpleasant.
I'm hoping the quality of the characters and story will keep them with it and that the sex and horror elements don't get any more explicit. I'm going to have to warn them again, Downton Abbey this ain't.
My mom loves it. She has read all the books after seeing season 1.
I had a conversation with my mum on the phone earlier on this topic among others. Seems my parents are loving it too (they're most of the way through season 1).
Since my parents are in their mid 70s I suspect they're closer in age to your gran than your mom.
Game of Thrones is fucking awesome.
And... that's all I can say.
It's up there with Deadwood and Breaking Bad as one of my all time favourite series. As you say, fucking awesome.
