We are just hours away until the Imaging USA Expo opens the doors. There is quite a buzz around San Antonio. The tweets are flying and the seminars are smoking hot.
We are excited about our new booth and finally unvailed it at the set up. After months of planning it is all coming together. If you were unable to make it here we hope you can be there at WPPI in Las Vegas.
It is a huge expense for the photographers, but it is a great way to develop your craft. The money you save on equipment purchase and the return on your investment in growing your business can ofset the expense of the trip. These trade shows are the perfect way to put your hands on the product before you buy and find new products to offer your clients.
We are happy to be giving away thousands of dollars of Gift Cards for Vision Art products. Check your registration bag for $50 and Gift Cards. Several attendees will find a $300 Gift Card in their bag! We hope this helps defray some of the cost and open an opportunity for you to try our beautiful museum quality art books. Not to mention one of our World Famous Cookies!
If you are not here at Imaging try to make plans for WPPI 2011. We have some other freebies planned and there are more opportunities to develop your craft there too. Even if you can only got to the show and not attend the seminars, make it there if you can. Here is a code for a Free Trade Show Only pass. Go to www.wppionline.com and enter the code: WP221 then in the drop down menu select Vision Art.
If you blog about us in connection with the show, please email me at [email protected]. I would love to post a link here.

Occupational Cancer Research Centre (OCRC) - Environmental sources of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants and associated risk of breast cancer in young women: Early results from a population-based Ontario study
Topics: Contaminants and Hazards, Surveillance Location: ON, Canada
In this seminar, an update of the Ontario Environment and Health Study (OEHS) will be provided. The OEHS is a breast cancer case-control study in Ontario women, aged 18-44 years. In this study, blood and urine were collected to measure biomarkers of exposure to PBDE and OP flame retardants. As part of the overall exposure assessment strategy, a database of PBDE in foods and supplements was developed to assess dietary exposures and a subsample of participants was selected to provide household (air, dust, and electronic products) and personal exposure measures. The development of the exposure assessment methods will be described and early results of the work presented, along with preliminary estimates of the associations between serum biomarkers and the risk of breast cancer.

I thought I'd start posting some pics of a project I've started. It will hopefully be a really cool looking urban battlefield. A war torn city/town with a river flowing through it. I'm not sure if it'll work for actual gameplay since it's only 2'x2' but if anything I can use it as a backdrop for photos. Ever since seeing what Rob Hawkins did for the RW diorama I've been wanting to start one of these.
Here's a first image. I did some sketches and lists of what I wanted to include and I think I've crammed most of what I want into this layout.

ESCAT 65 is a purified imidazole catalyst absorbed onto a silica carrier. The product is used to accelerate the cure of powder coatings that are responsive to imidazole catalysis. Example powder coating chemistries that can be catalyzed with ESCAT 65 include hybrids such as polyester-epoxy, carboxyl acrylic-epoxy, polyesters cured by GMA-functional acrylics, polyester-TGIC and polyester-PT-910. ESCAT 65 reduces the cure temperature of a particular system and shortens the required bake time at a given cure temperature when compared to non-catalyzed systems. In addition, this purified imidazole product may provide less yellowing and improved catalysis when compared to competitive imidazole catalysts on silica.
Recommended usage level of ESCAT 65 is 0.1 – 0.3% on total formula weight. Each application should be tested to determine the optimum catalyst level to achieve the desired cure time and coating properties.

Please check our website for the latest information.
March 12-17, 2015
share lessons learnt from fukushima
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster was truly unprecedented, particularly for the Japanese community who had believed that nuclear power is safe and clean energy. The disaster led to massive displacement, loss of communities and livelihoods, etc. Even after more than three and a half years, many people still cannot return. JCC2015 will highlight these ongoing issues, as learning from this disaster will enhance the world's preparedness towards the future.

Portrait design is a witty combination of photography and art direction. Back in the days, having a portrait taken by a painter, was a big deal: a lot of preparation was involved in styling the costumes and hair of each family member. So it was for the set : often the photo was taken inside the family house, the people being surrounded by familiar objects and, most importantly, their house pets. When I design a set, I carefully consider each single component of it: what clothes to style , which objects to include, what postures to suggest. My purpose is simple: each family is different and this must show from the images. To do so, I need to know the personality of the person portrayed, I dig into each family's own heritage. That is how a charming artist is depicted while boldly holding his ballerina daughter upside down, a beautiful Italian actress poses side by side with her dog mimicking Hollywood divas from the 50s and an incredible family of 14 proudly show their shared passion for golf. Each story is different while the leit motiv remains the same : I like to tell playful family stories where it is shown that a certain 'joie de vivre' brings together, despite time lapses and generational gaps.

Epic offers fix for Gears of War 2 multiplayer issuesBy Jose Vilches
Epic has released an update for its Xbox 360 blockbuster title Gears of War 2, intended to fix the long waits some players have been experiencing in multiplayer matchmaking. In order to get the update out as quickly as possible, the company focused just on immediate infrastructure issues and have left any potential gameplay issues for a future update.
Besides making public matchmaking faster, the update should also stop stats from being lost when playing online (which apparently happened frequently) and addresses an issue where some players were unable to start the story-based campaign if Xbox LIVE was down or unavailable. If you haven't already downloaded the update, next time the game is loaded you should be prompted to do so.

Bull's Eye Pest Control is ready to resolve your wasp infestation.
"We've been using Bulls Eye Pest Control for many years for our home in Temecula…They are very professional and really nice people!…I just give them a call and they come out. I have no reason to look elsewhere for a pest control service."
Dorothy W.
Click on the pest that's bothering you.
Stinging insects come in all shapes and sizes. Some of the most common in San Jacinto are paper wasps. They build nests in your eaves, playground equipment and dense vegetation. If left unchecked, their nests can grow large enough to house hundreds of individuals. Wasps will attack if you get close to their nest. They can release an alarm pheromone that will send the entire colony into frenzy. If you think that wasps are mean, yellow jackets make them look nice. Yellow jackets are just mean. They do not need a reason to sting you, they just will. Unlike wasps, yellow jackets prefer to build their nests underground. Sprinkler boxes and old rodent holes are perfect places. You might not even know you are near a yellow jacket nest until they swarm out in anger and attack with stingers and biting mandibles. If you want to reclaim the right to use your yard with hearing the noise of buzzing, you need to call the professionals with Bull's Eye Pest Control.
We know pest control. Our technicians have years of experience eliminating wasps and other stinging insects. We use the principles of Integrated Pest Management, which allows use to create a multipronged treatment approach that will stop wasps and yellow jackets in their tracks. When you want reliable, professional pest control that will listen to your needs, Bull's Eye Pest Control is your solution for a pest free yard. Call us today and schedule a free estimate.

Apple Crate Side TableWednesday 6 May 2015 • By kath
Say hello to the newest addition to our dining room!
In its previous life it was a pre-war apple crate, but with a bit of TLC it's been re-purposed into a 2-4-1 piece of furniture, providing us with a new side table for our settle as well as some overflow storage for my (allegedly excessive) recipe book collection.
I picked it up on eBay for a bargainous £16.95 including UK postage. They are sold pretty rough and ready, so they aren't washed or sanded and they show a bit of wear and tear, but it doesn't take much effort to get them looking pretty.
I gave this one a light sand down – enough to knock off the roughest edges, but not so much that it sanded away the original branding, or the rustic look and feel. Originally I was going to wax it, and I did use a clear Briwax on the inside (worked in with some wire wool), but I switched up to a couple of coats of clear varnish on the outside to give more protection from water marks and to seal some of the remaining rough, splintery bits.
All in all it was about £20 and an hour or so's labour to give this crate a second lease of life (and in a cider lover's home – very fitting!)
p.s. if you don't fancy the hassle of prepping them yourself, you can also pick some up here from Baileys Store where they pre-scrub them for you.

Morning Video: Senate NCLB Waiver Hearing ... & Then Reauthorization?
The hearing starts at 10. The above is just a screenshot. Here's a link to the committee site -- the video is not embeddable, far as I can tell (and according to the staff I talked to). One of the highlights may be EdTrust president Kati Haycock's critique of the waiver approval and implementation process, notes HuffPosts's Joy Resmovits, though I don't think it's anything particularly new she's saying.
Behind the scenes, some civil rights and accountability types admit that the waivers might end up being preferable to what Congress would have done in a reauthorization. Speaking of reauthorizations, DFER's Charlie Barone thinks that one might still happen (for better or worse).

BURLINGTON, VT. - The 2014 Champlain College's Distinguished Citizen award goes to Mary Alice McKenzie, executive director of the Boys & Girls Club of Burlington. McKenzie will receive the award from Champlain College President Donald J. Laackman and the Board of Trustees at the College's Convocation on Friday, Aug. 22 at 3 p.m. at Roger H. Perry Hall.
McKenzie will speak to the expected 662 members of the incoming Class of 2018 as part of the College's Orientation Weekend ceremonies. This is the 53rd year of the award, which honors community leaders in Vermont.
During her professional career, McKenzie has held leadership positions in both for profit and not for profit organizations in Vermont. She was President and CEO of McKenzie of Vermont from 1985 through 2000. Subsequently, McKenzie held the position of General Counsel of The Vermont State Colleges from 2001 through 2005. She also served of counsel to the law firm of Paul Frank & Collins practicing employment law until joining the Boys & Girls Club in 2007.
McKenzie has served on a number of for profit and not for profit boards of directors including Central Vermont Public Service, VELCO, Vermont Yankee, Vermont Federal Bank, the Associated Industries of Vermont and the American Meat Institute.
A Vermont native, Mary Alice Mckenzie attended Rice Memorial High School. She graduated from St. Mary's College in South Bend, Indiana, and Valparaiso University School of Law in Valparaiso, Indiana. She lives in Burlington with her husband, Allan Rodgers, and their five children.
In addition to McKenzie, the academic welcome at Convocation will include Dylan Cullen '17, president of the Student Government Association, and Professor Nancy Kerr, the 2014 Edward Phelps Lyman Professorship recipient for great teaching. Laurie Quinn, Provost and Cheif Academic Officer at Champlain College, will introduce Kerr, of Shelburne, Vt., as the most recent recipient of The Edward Phelps Lyman Professorship Award, which is awarded to a senior faculty member of the College community who has shown dedication to students and Champlain College through a record of service and excellence in teaching and advising and through work on faculty and College committees.
Founded in 1878, Champlain College is a small, not-for-profit, private college in Burlington, Vermont, with additional campuses in Montreal, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland. Champlain offers a traditional undergraduate experience from its beautiful campus overlooking Lake Champlain and over 90 residential undergraduate and online undergraduate and graduate degree programs and certificates.

Few would have bet against Spain reaching the semi-finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup South Africa 2009 but the identity of their last-four opponents has surprised everyone. Not even the most optimistic of USA fans would have tipped Bob Bradley's team for a place in the knockout phase after they lost both their opening games in disappointing fashion. Yet the Americans whipped up a perfect storm in the final round of games in Group B on Sunday 21 June to snatch second place in the section from Italy and Egypt.
The Spanish can be excused for welcoming USA's unexpected presence at this late stage. After all, before the tournament started the European champions were bracing themselves for a stern semi-final test from reigning world champions Italy. But now that the CONCACAF Gold Cup holders have negotiated their way out of a fiercely competitive group, Spain would be well advised to treat them with maximum respect.
The match
Free State Stadium, Mangaung/Bloemfontein, 24 June, 20.30 (local time)*
After making several changes for the final group game against South Africa, with every member of the squad bar third goalkeeper Diego Lopez having enjoyed some playing time, Vicente del Bosque will field his strongest line-up once more. Iker Casillas returns in goal, determined to chalk up Spain's fourth clean sheet of the competition, while Xabi Alonso and Xavi will reclaim the central-midfield reins. Up front the deadly twosome of David Villa and Fernando Torres will continue their private duel for the adidas Golden Shoe.
In contrast Bradley has plenty of selection issues to ponder. His decision to hand starts to goalkeeper Brad Guzan and forward Charlie Davies paid off handsomely and the US coach will surely be tempted to keep faith with them, while also considering the role of Clint Dempsey, who made a decisive contribution against the Egyptians as an attacking spearhead.
Key battle
Landon Donovan vs. Xavi
This pair of talented performers set the tempo for their respective teams and the outcome of this particular contest will go a long way to deciding the game. Donovan has been one of USA's most active midfielders in the tournament to date, completing 125 passes (a success rate of 65 per cent), firing in four shots on goal and scoring once. Xavi is the pass-master supreme, however, making 258 passes in all (an 89 per cent completion rate), though he has yet to provide an assist or score a goal in South Africa. Both sides depend heavily on their creativity and the two are sure to have a big say in who comes out on top on Wednesday evening.
Looking back

La Roja have never lost to the Stars and Stripes. The most important of their three previous meetings came at Brazil 1950, where Spain finished fourth, their highest-ever placing in the competition. This victory over the Americans came in the group phase, with a brace from Estanislao Basora and a goal from the legendary Telmo Zarra cancelling out John Souza's opener for USA.
The stat
0.66- The average number of goals David Villa scores every time he pulls on the red of Spain. The Valencia hitman is the second-highest scorer in his country's history, having hit 31 goals in 47 appearances. Leading the way is Raul, who nevertheless has an inferior strike rate of 0.43. Only two players who have scored over 20 goals for La Roja boast a better goalscoring average than Villa: Zarra, with 1.0 (20 goals in 20 games) and Alfredo Di Stefano with 0.74 (23 goals in 31 games).
Did you know?
Wednesday's meeting between Spain and USA will be a special occasion for Jozy Altidore, who signed for Villarreal last year but spent the second half of the season on loan at Xerez. The big American striker will be returning to the Yellow Submarine for the upcoming league campaign, where he will team up once more with Spain squad members Joan Capdevila, Santi Cazorla and Diego Lopez. Which of them will be smiling when the final whistle blows at the Free State?
The quotes
"It's always tough to win when you're the favourites. We'll need to work hard to reach the final," Spain defender Gerard Pique.
"We came up against Spain before EURO 2008 and we played a great game. We've been watching them during this tournament and we've been taking note of their style. We know how to stop them and we are very confident," USA coach Bob Bradley.

Fiercely You
We all want to be fabulous. But too often we let fear and self-doubt derail us from pursuing our passions and accomplishing our biggest goals. This was the situation Jackie Huba found herself in. At the lowest point in her life, she serendipitously stumbled upon the wonderful world of drag queens, and to her surprise, she found them inspiring and energizing. They were supremely confident, utterly fearless, strong, powerful, and unabashedly and completely themselves - no apologies, no compromises. So she immersed herself in the world of drag, eventually becoming a female drag queen herself, aka Lady Trinity.
Fiercely You is a creative, playful approach to the serious problems that women face regarding confidence and risk-taking. Drawing on her own experiences and interviews with the world's top drag queens, Huba offers five Keys to the Queendom that will help listeners ignore criticism and live life more fearlessly. This is not a guide to drag, it's a guide to life - but in a sense, all life is drag. As RuPaul, the most famous drag queen in the world, herself says, "We're born naked, and the rest is drag." Huba and her coauthor Shelly Stewart Kronbergs - who explains the psychological research that supports each of Huba's keys - help listeners become the amazing person they see inside their heads and feel in their hearts.

Longtime Muppet fans will undoubtedly have more fun than young ones, but for the most part, it's a witty, delightful romp, that shows you that you can still be funny, without ever being mean still in 2011. Good review Michael.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Dan! One of my colleagues watch it with his 8 years old daughter and 6 six years old son and they absolutely loved it. It proves that the charm of the Muppets is timeless!Delete
Michael, the early Muppet Show stuff is great. If you get a chance, I recommend the episodes. They're only 30 minutes long. You can find a lot of clips on Youtube. Like Brooks, they're well known for spoofing popular films and TV. Here's a fun clip of Vincent Price and the Muppets:ReplyDelete
I'll try to catch those. Thank you for the recommandation John!Delete

Pin It Now! Usually vegas trips are filled with endless partying, drinking and many sleepless nights, but not this time. This time around I went off strip and discovered amazing japanese food and cheap gambling (I know it's an oxymoron) and that bingo is stressful. And I swear the casinos pump caffeine into your rooms so that you can't sleep. This is the only time I've been to vegas where I actually got a decent nights sleep because I wasn't staying at a casino. I guess they want to keep you gambling.
The sweetest dog ever (after mine) but he sheds like crazy. My black jeans were covered in hair.
It was surprisingly chilly and windy in vegas..good thing I brought my furry coat (which shed almost as much as the dog).
Batwing dress from lulus.com. The white is completely see through and it ran about 1 size to big at least. I had to pin it in the back so the neckline wouldn't droop below my bust.
Tons of cuffs and rings worn with dress.
Pre dinner drink at the bar. Love it for the girlie color and the extra ginger taste.
A colorful menu.
Seared tuna covered in sesame seeds and skewered with raspberry gelatin.
Julian Serrano's favorite dish apparently (his mom used to make it for him when he was hung over). Fries smothered in sausage and topped with 2 sunny side up eggs. Definitely hang over food.
Seafood paella. Every since high school spanish I've always had a soft spot for paella, this certainly didn't disappoint.
Dinner is not complete without some churros for dessert!
Some amazing rice pudding with bits of passion fruit.
Techno colored bathroom tiles inside Julian Serrano's restaurant.
I'm a pretty light packer and this is pretty much what I wore all weekend with my jeffrey campbell boots and chucks.
Being the japanese food fanatic I am I yelped "izakaya" and came up with Ichiza. The also happened to serve ramen which as a double plus. I was surprised by the number of non sushi japanese restaurants in vegas. I've always read that there were quite a few good ones off strip but never had the chance to go until now. The menu was basically all over the walls so I ran around to look at the selection.
The house ramen delish with a hint of curry flavor. Get the half bowl, the full bowl is humongous.
Sea urchin w/ ponzu sauce. I cannot describe the simple elegance of this dish. I actually saw a picture of it on yelp and had to try it. The none english speaking waitress didn't understand me, so I showed her the picture on yelp. Moments like this make the exorbitant amounts of money I give to AT&T every month to have an iphone worth it.
Beef, almost raw soaking in sauce...enough said.
Copious amounts of honey, butter and ice cream top half a loaf of hollowed out toasted asian white bread. Yum, though my friend said she's had better in LA because they have different flavors. Shall attempt to make this one day.
Same pink sweater and leather shorts, though I consider it a different outfit since I'm wearing different socks. Yup I'm just that imaginative.
Monstrous portions at Hash House A Go Go (Man vs. Food). Not bad but a bit over hyped I think.
Bread pudding at the same restaurant.
That about wraps it up for vegas. Next time Bali and Hong Kong!

Sophie and Handy Litter
Gimli ......
Soph-is-Ta-Curl ("Sophie") and Handy had 4 babies on August 5th. Most of her babies have already gone to their new homes with the exception of Aragorn, who will ship in a few weeks and Gimli. Gimli is still available and can go to his new home anytim. You can see more photos of Gimli on his separate page by clicking the link below or the photo below.
Below is our Grand Premier Storm. I'm posting this photo of Storm so you can see what you can expect Gimli, and Aragorn to look like when they mature. Gimli may have more colorful tails when he grows up. I found a photo of Storm at this age... he had even less that Gimli or Aragorn. With the cream points, the red comes in slower than the seal color does. Storm didn't get this much color on his face until he was almost a year old. Storm is 2 yrs old. Sophie and Storm are littermates.
Grand Premier Curl Essence Withstanding the Storm ("Storm") in CFA
and Guadruple Grand Champion in TICA as of November 2016
We are currently showing Storm as a Grand Premier in CFA and in TICA. He earned his Grand title in CFA in 2 shows (WOW!) and his Grand title and Double Grand titles both in TICA in one show. At this 2nd show (Nov.2016), he jumped from Double Grand to Triple Grand and Quadruple Grand all on the first day of the show. In one of his last rings on Saturday, he won Best Cat. That clears the way for him to earn the title of Supreme Grand Champion. We will show him as an adult this year in both CFA and TICA. Storm is a 2 yr old cream lynx point. Sophie and Storm are littermates. We showed Sophie in TICA before we decided to breed her. Sophie's 3 boys will look just like Storm. Here's a photo of Storm from our last CFA show.

Is it real… or all make believe? People say that a lot about Matt and Jason but you might also place the burden of that question upon this episode's movie, 1935's Mark of the Vampire. With white faces and burning eyes, your handsome hosts occasionally interrupt their drinking to bring you film background, eating stale gingerbread houses, Hollywood orgies, completely unrelated movies, hissing in film, anger for the end of this flick, the attraction of villainy and more deadly cold breath on your throat. It might not end the way you think but it'll still be the hilariously debauched hell ride you crave.

Yay for makeup!
So far, I'm really into lipstick and eyeliner. Those are my jam - and serve me well on a daily basis.
I've always wanted to get into eyeshadow though. I just never knew how to make it work with my eye shape - I'm Asian, and though I have a double eyelid, it always felt too small to do anything cool. Eyeshadow just never looked right.
But! I found this awesome list of suggestions on buzzfeed (http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/awesome-…) and decided to try some of them out. So far, I've had moderate success with everything I've tried and I'm INSPIRED! But my tools are very limited. I have a brush for face powder and a couple for the eye - I have no idea what they're called, they were given to me, unused.
Here's where GT comes in. What are some of the face/eye brushes that make up a basic set? Should I just splurge on a set? I've watched my fair share of makeup tutorials on the ole youtubes but they all have so many brushes that it's kind of overwhelming. Any tips for a makeup newbie?
Here's a selfie with the evening's efforts that will destruct in a few hours.
ETA: If only it were so easy to apply makeup...
ETA2: Thanks for all the suggestions! I am going to browse while I'm drunk and watching Iron Man, buy when I'm sober.

Thunder calls the lightning break,
'Till my bowing knee start quake,
Answer back for His blood drained
That mourned the Son been slain.
Oh come you who lack faith!
He laid here for death to taste,
And three days death was faced,
But the tomb was not embraced,
Just our transgressions erased.

Some things just make no sense at all. A 23 year-old active duty soldier stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (above) near Tacoma, Washington is in custody and charged with murder after stabbing a fellow soldier to death in a senseless off-post incident last month.
Equally bizarre and disturbing is the way he was caught: Spc. Jeremiah Hill asked an Army medic for first aid for a knife wound on his right hand the day after the stabbing. When asked how he got the cut, he boasted to the medic that he'd gotten cut "stabbing a man to death." The medic immediately told his NCO, who immediately called Lakewood, WA detectives.
Hill was questioned and arrested, and two other active-duty soldiers at Lewis-McChord were arrested and charged with evidence tampering after the fact. Despite their alleged efforts to destroy evidence (including getting rid of the murder weapon) the police recovered piles of forensic evidence, including the defendant's clothes soaked with the victim's blood.
The incident was originally investigated as a hate crime because witnesses had described the attackers as African-American while the victim, Spc. Tevin Geike, was white. Police no longer believe that race was a motivation for the killing.
We can all be glad that Hill was an amateur knife murderer, although he was unfortunately proficient enough to take Gieke's life. A more professional killer wouldn't have cut himself, wouldn't have bragged about it, and might never have been caught.

I returned to my boarding school recently to spend a day as visiting writer, talking with boys about the writing process, the writing business, and my novel The Bookman's Tale, which some of the classes had read. The imminent trip made me go digging through a file of old high school English papers and I found that I still have a paper to which I frequently refer when talking to groups about The Bookman's Tale.
At Woodberry Forest I was talking to people who had read the book, but often—whether at bookstores, libraries, or schools—I'm talking to folks who have not (yet) read it and I have to be careful about spoilers. For this reason I usually read and discuss the opening scene, in which Peter Byerly discovers in an old book a Victorian watercolor that looks just like his dead wife. In the context of discussing this opening, I usually mention the assignment that led to this recently unearthed paper. We had to choose a work of literature and show how the opening passage encapsulated the entire work. I chose Twelfth Night (and I was pleased to find that I got an A).
It turns out that the opening of The Bookman's Tale fits this assignment nicely. All the main elements of the novel make an appearance in this four-page scene: the broken and grieving protagonist, the world of old and rare books, William Shakespeare, forgery, love, mystery, and crime. Furthermore The Bookman's Tale is told in three timelines spanning over four centuries, and even this multiplicity of time is hinted at in the opening. Peter makes reference to the death of his wife nine months earlier and his binding a book ten years earlier, he picks up a book printed in 1796, and he recalls reading another printed in 1623.
Of course the students asked me if I did this on purpose and the honest answer is 'No.' When I started The Bookman's Tale, though I had a general idea where I was going, I was feeling my way. But it's nice to know that the opening is, in a sense, honest. If you like the things you encounter on the first four pages, there's a good chance you'll like the book. And if you don't . . . well, at least you read my blog.

Customer Comments and Excerpts from Letters
Express Movers has been the best moving company I have ever worked with. They are clean, nicely dressed, courteous and reliable…I feel confident in referring Express Movers because I know that they will be careful with my resident's belongings, and have impeccable integrity.
Very professional, patient and helpful.
Wonderful guys! Thanks — We'll recommend you to everyone!
Excellent movers. I will certainly tell my friends about your courteous service.
Very very efficient, professional, and I would recommend them to anyone.
The team was a pleasure to work with. Great attitude through the whole move. Great job.
You were on time and on budget…I must say, I was impressed. Your equipment looked top notch and your staff was sharply dressed in uniforms. They were friendly, professional, efficient and above all, extremely careful with our belongings. Thank you again for an outstanding job.
Express Movers are the best movers ever!! Here's the story: Learned I was moving from Seattle on Wednesday before Labor Day. Had to be moved by Sunday. Searched for a mover who would take the job with such short notice and at a reasonable fee. Checked the BBB, and other review sites and found Express Movers. I explained to the owner that I had a LOT of stuff to pack and move. I was unable to help with the move as I had suffered a compression fractured vertebrae. She was able to schedule the move to take place over two days, Friday and Saturday. She gave me a quote that was within my price range. And, she locked the bid so that I would not be faced with additional costs. Come Friday Express Movers showed up on time with the contract that matched the bid. Three men worked for 12 hours and a fourth for 6 hours to do the packing and loading of everything into the truck. All of the men were professional, organized, courteous and not one of them complained about the amount of work to be done.
I would recommend these guys to anybody, hands down, they are awesome. Thanks again. They went above and beyond the call of duty!!!
Express Movers was recommended to us. And we highly recommend them as well. The service was superb starting from our first call to get a quote. They were comforting, honest, and took their time explaining how they work. They responded quickly and were very accommodating. They also sent out someone to our house to validate that their estimate was correct. We did a two day move and both days the team was on time, friendly, extremely hard working, careful, and conscientious. They were expeditious, yet took their time being careful with our fragile items. They also engaged in conversation to make sure they understood the logistics and any special concerns we had.
This is our second move with this company and once again they went above and beyond to make moving easy on us. The crew was different guys than before but the service was still good. All our furniture was padded, beds taken apart and put back together. The movers were outgoing and polite throughout. I hope we don't ever move again, but f we do we'll call Express for sure. I already recommended them to my coworker
I recently used express movers for a local move and was very impressed with their moving team and wonderful customer service! I highly recommend this company to all of my friends and family and will definitely be using them again if I need to move!
Excellent in every way! We highly recommend Express Movers
The moving went better than expected with nothing damaged. The team was helpful and courteous. I would definitely recommend Express Movers.
Service was excellent — my two times using Express Movers & I would recommend them to anyone.
Outstanding job! I would highly recommend your services to anyone.
…Very professional…above and beyond our expectations. Trustworthy and extremely hard workers. We would use you and recommend you in the future.
Fast, efficient, highly recommended.
I have never imagined such efficiency, courtesy and care as your employees applied to my entire move. I am recommending you to everyone I can find.
The team members worked very well together to solve the problems of my move. They were also friendly and good conversation! (sic)

How + why did you start playing/ Early Influences/ Musical training/ First piece of gear, etc:I had taken a few lessons for piano and guitar but nothing had really grabbed me yet. Then my mother read that hitting something was a good form of therapy, and since my father had just passed, she was concerned about that. I was 11 at the time and she asked if I wanted to get some sticks and a pad and I lit up at the idea. Then a cousin of mine told me he had a drumset sitting in his closet collecting dust and offered it to me, so of course I jumped on it. I had grown up listening to Stevie Wonder and bands like Earth, Wind, and Fire but by that time my main influences were Alex Van Halen and bands like Iron Maiden...but at that time I would also play to anything that came on the radio. I had lessons for only about 4 months and I was more interested in playing Van Halen songs than practicing my rudiments. That first set was a vintage Slingerland pearl black 4 piece.
Later Development / Main Influences:Then I discovered Rush and the world of progressive music while still listening to some heavier stuff as well....everything from Slayer and King Diamond to Zeppelin. A few years later I started getting into fusion and jazz also...Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chick Corea, Tony Williams, Frank Zappa, Miles Davis and the list goes on and on. As far as drummers I would have to add names like Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Simon Phillips, Terry Bozzio, Steve Gadd, Manu Katche, Steve Smith, Jeff Porcaro and of course Buddy Rich. Now I listen to all kinds of stuff depending on the mood I am in.
When I was 16 I found out that Sonny Igoe was living and teaching in the same 1 sq mile town I lived in so I started studying with him, which I did on and off for about 3 years. After High School I attended Drummers Collective and graduated the Certificate Program there.
How did you hookup with the band Symphony X:I had known our first singer Rod for about a year when he introduced my to Mike and Tom. He had been telling me "yeah I may have this cool thing you might be interested in, this guitar player might be putting a band together"...so eventually Mike called me at work one day set up a jam, and the rest is history as they say.
Important turning points in your musical career:The first was when I started taking lessons with Sonny, the next was one of my first concerts (Spyro Gyra) with the very talented Richie Morales on drums, which was when I realized I really had to make a life of drumming. After that I would say Drummers Collective, which took my playing and awareness to another level. Then it was the first show with Symphony X, which was in Japan. I think for the whole band it got us right over that nervousness and made us a real band. More recently I would have to say being named on the Modern Drummer readers' poll.

Learn about our editorial policy Elizabeth Quinn Updated on July 31, 2019 More in Fitness Flexibility Beginners Motivation Sports Nutrition Fitness Trends Running Strength Walking Workouts Cardio Yoga Pilates Tools and Equipment Health and Safety View All Snowboarding is a graceful but demanding sport that requires strength, agility, and endurance. Flexibility is part of that equation, and you can maintain the range of motion needed for hitting the slopes. Here are seven simple stretches you can do to improve the flexibility of not only your hips and lower body but your upper body, as well. You can perform these outdoors and repeat the sequence several times if needed. Hip Flexors Stretch Verywell / Ben Goldstein The hip flexors are one of the most important muscles use for snowboarding. They are responsible for bringing your legs and trunk together, whether by raising your leg towards your chest or bending your chest toward your leg. One of the best stretches for this is the standing lunge. To do it: Stand with your legs parallel.Bend your knees and step your right leg back as far as it can go, resting on the ball of your foot.Balance yourself by holding your left knee.Straighten your back leg, but do not lock the knee.Increase the stretch without overextending.Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.Repeat on the opposite leg. Standing Calf Stretch Verywell / Ben Goldstein The gastrocnemius muscle at the back of your calf helps you point your toes and make explosive movements in jumping. The standing calf stretch one of the simplest yet effective ways to warm up this muscle. To do this stretch: Face a wall or tree, standing 12 inches back.Extend the right leg behind you, keeping both feet flat on the floor and your rear knee straight.Lean toward the wall or tree until you feel a tension in the right calf.Hold for 10 seconds.Repeat with the opposite leg. Hip and Lower Back Stretch Verywell / Ben Goldstein This is an important stretch for snowboarding as it opens the hips while stretching the muscles of the hips, groin, and lower back. It also targets the hip flexors and psoas. To do an integrated hip and lower back stretch: Begin in a forward lunge position with your right leg forward.Drop your left knee the ground.Place your right elbow on the inside of your right knee.As you press right elbow into your right knee, twist to the left.Now reach your left arm behind you until you feel a gentle stretch. Hold for about 20 to 30 seconds.Repeat with the opposite leg. Standing Quads Stretch Verywell / Ben Goldstein The quadriceps (quads) do the majority of the work while snowboarding. These are the muscles at the front of the thigh which extend your leg while straightening the knee. Here is a simple yet effective quads stretch you can do while standing: Stand squarely on the ground holding a wall or tree for support.Bend your right knee and bring the heel behind you.Reach behind with your left hand and grab the right ankleStand up straight and gently pull the right toward the buttocks being careful not to overextend.Hold for 15 to 30 seconds.Repeat with the opposite leg. Seated Hamstring Stretch Verywell / Ben Goldstein This stretch can help maintain length in the hamstrings and lower back (both of which tend to get tight and short for snowboarders). The hamstrings are located at the back of the thigh and extend from your knee to your buttocks. They often work in opposition to the quads. To perform a seated hamstring stretch: Find a place to sit on the ground with both of your legs out straight.Reach forward with both arms by bending at the waist.Now gently extend forward, keeping your knees straight.Hold for 30 to 40 seconds. Standing Shoulder Stretch Verywell / Ben Goldstein This basic shoulder stretch can help open the chest and upper body and keep you from rounding forward. Be sure to keep your head up and resist the urge to bend your neck forward. To begin: Place your right hand behind your head.Keeping your elbow pointed skyward, reach your right hand as far down your back as possible.Grab the right elbow with the left hand.Gently pull the elbow toward the head.Hold for 10 to 15 seconds.Repeat with the opposite arm. IT Band Stretch Verywell / Ben Goldstein The iliotibial (IT) band are the tough fibers that run along the outside of your thigh that help stabilize the joints. Boarders need to keep these from tightening. To perform a standing IT band stretch: Stand upright.Cross your right leg behind the left leg.Lean toward the left leg, reaching up and over your head with your right arm.Now extend the right arm even further until you feel a stretch of the IT band.Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.Repeat with the opposite leg.

I. Overview of Catia Mold Tooling Design Software
Complete tooling process coverage for mold tooling injection designers
Mold tooling injection designers need to quickly design a tool based on their know-how. In addition, they need to ensure wall thickness uniformity and proper cooling of plastic parts as well as address issues such as shrinkage and mold removal. Product quality depends on mold design accuracy, so they can benefit greatly from a tool that specifically covers these processes.
CATIA Mold Tooling Design specifically responds to the needs of Mold Tooling Injection designers. A predefined Layout allows users to insert and manage several Inserts in a positioned Mold Base, which greatly enhances productivity. It also features a dedicated Live command that fits the dimensions of the tool to the prints. Standard plastic mold bases coming from suppliers (DME, HASCO, FUTABA, etc.) are created in one-shot by selecting the recommended configuration. Plus, designers can generate cooling circuits in the mold base, thanks to an ergonomic command, ensuring design productivity.
- Check validity of imported topology
- Reuse existing data extensively with powerful recognition tools
- Identify and define Slider Pulling Direction
- Detail molding areas
- Optimize and reduce cycle time with wall thickness analysis
- Check accuracy and improve quality of imported shapes
- Access to supplier equipped mold bases and components catalogs...
- ... or create standard or company-specific mold bases with ease.
- Increase mold quality and reduce cycle time
- Work faster with the creation of reusable tooling components
II. Catia Mold Tooling Design Software functions
1. Intrinsic validity checking of each surface
Healing Assistant checks the intrinsic validity of each surface, detecting self intersections in boundaries, wrong topologies, thin surfaces, etc. The surfaces to be repaired are moved to specific bodies for easier handling. It can also check connections between surfaces to find holes (G0 gaps in mm), sharp edges (G1 gaps in degrees), and curvature breaks (G2 gaps in %). Plus, surfaces involved in gaps can also be moved to specific bodies for easier analysis and repair.
2. Delete Impacts contextual command
To prevent users from managing too many links on impacts made by Tooling components, the new contextual "Delete Impacts" command allows users to quickly delete all impacts made by the selected components.
3. Automated tool to carry out global and local join operations
CATIA Healing Assistant provides an automated tool to carry out join operations. The Global Join feature can assemble curves or surfaces according to a specified topological tolerance (merging distance). The Local Join feature is available to join only selected edges of a surface, for example to close a gap, according to a local tolerance which can be user-defined or computed automatically.
4. Offers automated and manual part design feature recreation
This function is intended to recognize a Part Design feature from an Isolated B-Rep. This product is used to retrieve a comprehensive CATIA data structure (Product Structure) from an Isolated B-Rep Part. The user imports a part and can recover elementary Part Design features. It allows better downstream application integration to improve Part simplification for tool definition and flexible local design.
5. Associative core and cavity separation with parting lines and surface dedicated definition tools
The Core and Cavity Design workbench ensures that an accurate and associative core and cavity separation can be achieved. It builds robust parting lines and surfaces from the part skin in order to support last minute design changes and more design alternatives. The definition of complex shapes is flexible and allows easy and fast manufacturing dress-up of foreign geometry imported through neutral standards such as IGES and STEP.
6. Face Color Editor
Allows users to change the color of different groups of faces and to create a selection set from them in order to select them in one shot.
7. Main pulling direction definition, mold area management, and parting line extraction
This quick separation tool is provided to identify the Core and Cavity and undercuts from the main pulling direction. Once the right pulling direction has been easily defined with the compass, the Part is automatically divided in 3 sets. Thus, the Core and Cavity and undercuts areas are recomputed when the input of the main associative pulling direction is modified. The user can easily spot the divided parts due to the following color mapping: green faces can be unmolded, red faces can be unmolded in the opposite direction and blue faces need to be part of slider, loose core, or be split.
8. Generation of Bill of Materials
Mold designers can generate dedicated and customizable Bill of Materials (BOM's) including specific attribute of the mold (Material, Heat Treatment) and automatic Nomenclature from the configuration of the component. Textual format, HTML or XLS (Excel) formats can be generated interactively. BOM can be based on User-defined attributes. Attributes can be defined either externally via a file (.txt or .xls) or manually. Specific formats can also be defined (subset of user-defined attributes) and re-used for BOM generations. Listing Reports including assembly trees and attributes of each component can be generated.
9. Standard plastic mold bases
Mold base creation is a key step in mold design that helps to create, store and reuse standard and company-specific mold bases. The new "Create Mold Base" command is available and provides a user-friendly way for users to create mold bases. CATIA Mold Tooling design provides a user-friendly command that allows end-users to create mold bases for any mold designs.
10. Insert layout for multi-print
Users can insert and manage several Inserts in a positioned Mold Base thanks to a predefined Layout. Inserts are defined with the FormBlock from the CoreCavity Separation application.
11. Live definition of Coolant Channels
Users can benefit from the Coolant Channel command with a "Live" user interface. The V6 Coolant Channel command offers the new V6 look-and-feel. The Mold Cooling feature serves to dissipate the heat of the molding quickly and uniformly. Because cooling typically accounts for two-thirds of a product's cycle time and the quality of the molded part depends on uniformity, the Mold Tooling Design product offers the capacity to add cooling pipes and cooling components to a mold. It also provides contextual balloons and manipulators during coolant channels design. By using V6 balloons, users can benefit from context-specific modes and options.
12. Live dedicated "Impact by Components" command
Tooling component impacts are recreated thanks to a new command. For example, when a plate is replaced in a mold base, impacts must be recreated. The new Live, dedicated "Impacted by components,"command meets the need to recreate such impacts. All impacts made by Tooling components in a plate are computed in one-shot.

Fantastic news about further enhancements to the Prestatyn Men's Shed offering.
We are extremely pleased to announce the fantastic news that Artisans Collective have managed to secure funding to enable us to continue our social meetings at The Old Library in Prestatyn. This is in addition to the more practical activities at the "Shed".
A huge thanks to the team at the old library as they have funded everything themselves since we moved over from Seabank drive community centre a couple of years ago. We had an initial month or so room rental paid by Prestatyn Town Council. But since then the Artisans have fully supported us in many ways.
Prestatyn Dementia Friendly Community have also announced new dementia drop in sessions at the old library each Friday at 2pm starting on March 3rd.
More details about events at the Old Library can be found here.
We are planning to help raise our profile by having an open day over the Easter holiday, more details to follow soon.

Press Report 24-11-2010 - Bill McLeod & Mike Taylor
Wed 24th November 2010
Focus Interview Bill McLeod & Mike Taylor
Focus Interview: Bill Mcleod and Michael Taylor
Bill Mcleod conducted a very entertaining interview with Michael Taylor on his upbringing in Ellon.
Michael was born and brought up in Ellon. He lived with his parents in the grounds of Ellon Primary where his Father was the Janitor. His Father was also a Councillor in the old Town Council and a Youth Club Leader which amazingly had a membership of 81.
Michael admitted to hating school and said the Teachers were scary, he was battered on the fingers with a ruler frequently because he wrote with his left hand.
He said this is the reason he has a stammer. It was not until his own son was diagnosed as being dyslexic that he realised that this was what he also had lived with all these years.
Michael reflected on his teenage years being great, swimming in the Ythan and getting up to various tricks and pranks.
Michaels first job was as a message boy for a local Grocer and was a member of The Boys Brigade at the same time as Rotarians Brian Milne and Stephen Burnett.
His first job on leaving school was with a Granite Merchants cutting stones but this was not the job for him. He eventually got a drawing job with Scott Sutherland of The School of Architecture fame which proved to be the better choice of career.
Michael told us about his many hobbies including Ski-ing, Sand-Yachting and even enjoyed much fun with a Hovercraft he bought.
Michael set up Taylor Design Services in 1983 because of a lack of work in his job with Scotts due to the recession.
His first job was to be for local Joiner and Builder Alistair Simpson and Michael realised to his horror he didnt even have a clue what to charge him for an hourly rate. Over the years TDS has expanded and gone from strength to strength, the rest as they say is history!

Nod to business gets mixed reaction
The nomination of green businessman John Bryson as commerce secretary was greeted with cheers from environmentalists, a guarded reaction from business — and a whole lot of Googling.
White House officials cast the choice of the obscure former utility executive, who helped found the Natural Resources Defense Council, the influential environmental group, as part of President Barack Obama's ongoing effort to build a stronger relationship with business. That effort has included the appointment of former banking executive and commerce secretary Bill Daley as White House chief of staff and General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt to head Obama's competitive council.
Story Continued Below
The olive-branch strategy seemed to pay quick dividends Tuesday, in the form of a supportive statement from U.S. Chamber of Commerce Chairman Tom Donohue, a long-time Obama antagonist who praised Bryson's "extensive knowledge of the private sector" while adding, "[w]e hope Mr. Bryson will be a strong voice for American businesses."
The National Association of Manufacturers, another key industry group, echoed those sentiments, citing Bryson's apparent backing of pending U.S. trade deals in Panama, South Korea and Colombia.
But business lobbyists and executives were less effusive in private about the 67-year-old New York native, expressing surprise Obama would pick a relative unknown whose main claim to fame was his role in NRDC – and a tough tenure guiding Edison International through California's energy crisis a decade ago.
"He's more of a green guy than a business guy," one top business association official told POLITICO. "He's pro-trade, which is great. But nobody's blown away."
Bryson's low profile is a marked contrast to outgoing commerce secretary Gary Locke, a former Washington governor who is leaving to become Obama's ambassador to China, as well as former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and retired New Hampshire GOP Sen. Judd Gregg, who both passed on the job when Obama was first assembling his Cabinet.
But considering the Obama administration's turbulent relationship with private business groups, Bryson's cloak of invisibility might be an asset.
"How do you spell his name?" asked Daniel Griswold, director of a trade policy center at the libertarian Cato Institute – echoing other experts on international trade, a main focus of the department Bryson would run.
"The reality is that it doesn't really matter who the commerce secretary is," Griswold added. "[U.S. Trade Representative] Ron Kirk is really the point man on the free trade agreements, and the feeling in the business community is that he's been pretty good – for a Democrat."
On the other side of the ideological spectrum, one liberal think-tanker asked, "He picked John Dyson?" – a reference to the better-known former New York development official and current chairman of Milbank Capital Management.
"He's fine," the person added after reading Bryson's Wikipedia entry.
Environmentalists, on the other hand, needed no introduction. He's been one of the green movement's steadiest supporters in the business community for decades, most recently serving on an energy and climate change advisory panel for the United Nations' secretary general".
In late 2008, Obama transition officials interviewed Bryson as a possible energy secretary just in case things didn't work out with Nobel laureate Steven Chu, a Democratic official said.

Initiative Name:
Guides for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims
Greetings! Thank you for taking up this important issue. Many consumers believe any and all "green" claims placed on packaging and there is a large potential for a backlash against all things environmental once consumers realize the greenwashing that has gone on with these labels. As a professional working in the recycling industry, I am often asked "Should I purchase this item? The packaging states that it is biodregrable. Won't it break down in a landfill?" Well, the answer to this question is no as landfills are designed to keep items from decomposing. While I am not an expert in all aspect of "green" packaging, I do have a few requests: -Please require the use of the word "recycled content" on packaging to ONLY mean post-consumer recycled content. Pre-consumer recycled content has been used for years in items and does not support any of the recycling efforts done by the consumer. When they see the term "recycled content," they think that they are purchasing something made from the newspapers and water bottles they recycled. This just is not the case. -Please require that the term "compostable" means that it will break down in a home, municipal or commercial composting system, not that it will break down in a landfill. Thank you for your time and consideration. Tracy L. Artley Recycling Coordinator

Ever wanted to reel in a fish that seems out of this world? Averaging over 5 feet and 500 pounds, the Opah is as close as you will get (if you are able to find one). Only the luckiest of deep sea anglers have a shot at this warm colored and amazingly warm-blooded beast. Maybe this one piece can act as your lucky charm. Nicknamed moonfish, it may be found in temperate waters all across the Earth, so actually tracking them to catch is difficult. They are quite a rare. That's the reason they were originally just caught accidently in tuna fisheries' nets.
The Opah is similar to the Molidae or Ocean Sunfish but, it's a fraction of its size! The Opah is like the moon to the Molidae sunfish hence the nickname Moonfish. This fishing Romper featuring the otherworldly Opah is perfect to show off your fishing aptitude.
