As a professional realtor, I note things that get folks in trouble when they go to sell their homes. Crazy mindset is one. They think that since they paid a whopping price for their house (in a froth market,) others should, too. That's never going to happen. Instead, accurate pricing is critical. But you probably know that…
Furthermore, "what do you do?" if you want to sell but you've got a house that needs a boatload of work but you have limited funds? Well, it helps to consider how buyers act in home-purchase mode.
First, buyers note outward appearance, and if the outside of your home's a mess, they suspect bigger problems inside. If they don't want to "go there," it's understandable: There's a ton of inventory out there…Why should they take on tasks you never completed?
I've had buyer-clients tell me, upon pulling up to a home, "We're not going in." Even more damaging, they give their realtor a black eye for including this house on the list, wasting their valuable time. That realtor will then pass the poor reaction of his buyers to other realtors, further damaging that house's possibility of sale.
With that in mind, I offer the following for sellers of difficult homes, telling you things you probably won't want to hear:
#1–Outside appearance is critical and unforgiving (if bad.)
I've told my sellers "Take down the Christmas lights" strung up along the eves…repair gutters and carports, de-clutter the yard and trim everything back, clean windows, paint trim (f you're not painting entirety.) The outside is your home's face to the world; if corrective surgery is necessary, do it; otherwise, buyers will never step foot in your home.
#2–Inside the home, spend money judiciously. That means: Lay out cash on things that will deliver. A costly kitchen repair isn't wise. Instead, if the kitchen is truly 'awful,' put new facades on kitchen cabinets and new cabinet pulls to give the illusion of 'new.'
Inexpensive flooring and new countertops will improve appearances but avoid over-the-top choices. For instance, seasoned realtors refer to installing granite countertops in an ugly kitchen as "Putting lipstick on a pig." No one buys that maneuvering.
#3–New carpeting is a wise investment—all the more necessary if your household's been beaten up with kids and pets. Pick a neutral shade that's resistant to soil. For Open Houses, lay down a footpath of paper that construction folks staple onto carpeting of houses that are ready for customer visits (buy at Home Depot, Lowe's etc.) It's inexpensive and you can pull it up after showings, thus protecting that new carpeting.
#4–All clutter should be removed (tabletops cleared), toys stored in bins, preferably out of sight, all the more important if you have a small house. Install inexpensive closet doors, put in shelving with doors in small places, such as laundry rooms, to give illusion house has more space. You want horizontal lines of your home clean and clutter-free.
#5–Finally, your home's smell is critical. This is the #1 overlooked aspect that can ditch a home sale, and the homeowner often never suspects his house suffers from this (it's like bad breath that way.)
I once had a client whose home smelled of the pungent food he cooked every Sunday before his work week. Despite numerous showings of a condo that looked beautiful, we couldn't sell…
Oh, he'd followed my advice when he ripped up old carpeting (smells linger there) and installed new; he'd painted walls a fresh, neutral color; he'd replaced the small, mottled bathroom mirror with a large new one, trimmed in wood (from TJ Maxx); and he'd swapped out old toilets with new.
Still, the smell remained. How'd we fix? We sniff-tested the whole place, finally realizing the stove hood was the culprit (the most obvious place cooking odors lodge, but we'd missed that elephant in the room.)
Upshot? When he replaced it, we sold his condo in a record two weeks, at almost-full price.
He'd listened to me, his realtor and did his homework.
Finally, sellers: Skip the room fresheners and candles. Savvy buyers suspect them, just as they do outside disrepair. They wisely believe candles and fresheners cover up more serious problems.
To sell a tough house in a tough market, you've got to be a warrior…a well-prepared one, at that. Start suiting up.
***Now, are you selling a home soon or know others who are? Do them a favor and send this post to them (e-mail buttons to the side.) Some of the above topics even their realtors won't tell them…Why? It's like bad breath…No one wants to tell the person that has it.
Finally, if your plan is to sell in a couple of years, start working on that check-list of fix-up's, now, so it's not overwhelming when you do go on market…

Scott Ellis: Welcome to the Frisco Podcast. I'm your host, Scott Ellis and this week we are at Nerdvana Coffee. We finally have a coffee shop in Frisco Square.
I'm sitting here chatting with the founder of Nerdvana, Kristy Pitchford, and Chef Mike. Thank you guys for joining us in the show and thank you so much for finally putting a coffee shop in Frisco Square.
Kristy Pitchford: Thanks. We're super excited to be here.
Chef Mike Junio: Absolutely. Thank you.
Scott Ellis: How long has this been coming, because I know for me it's been waiting since about 2004. You guys probably haven't been working on it quite that long, but when did this process start and where did you get the idea?
Kristy Pitchford: You know, funnily enough, the coffee shop concept only started this last fall in, I think it as October. We've been working on the restaurant concept next door at Nerdvana Food+Spirits for four or five years. We've been chatting about it and deciding and thinking about it and Mike moved here from California to work on this and it wasn't until Gearbox moved into the building where they noticed there was a severe lack of coffee. We had an option on the space and we talked about it, Chef Mike and I, and we thought, you know what? We're not busy enough. Let's do a coffee shop. That's kind of how it started.
Scott Ellis: Awesome. Well first of all, I think most people in Frisco know who Gearbox is by now, but for anybody who doesn't, they are a game company that makes software and do video games. They are upstairs of the building that Nerdvana is in and if you know anything about geeks and software developers, there is just not enough coffee to keep them happy so I'm sure having this place downstairs is coming close.
Kristy Pitchford: Yeah, they've been great customers, for sure.
Scott Ellis: Well, they're not the only ones that are happy you guys are here. Chef Mike, tell us a little bit about what you're doing here. I don't think most people go into a coffee shop expecting to hear Chef Mike or chef anybody being there so talk to us a little bit about what you got going on.
Chef Mike Junio: Well I'm active director of operations here. I make sure that we are up to par on all of our quality and services. Most of my focus is of course next door in the restaurant, but when we decided to have this coffee shop it was time for me to research what it was that the Metroplex enjoyed about fine coffee shops. I researched around, found the best resources in the Metroplex and brought them here at Nerdvana Coffee including food, coffee, tea, and juice.
Scott Ellis: Wonderful. Did we manage to pull a few people out of Dallas up into Frisco, maybe, to come take part in this?
Chef Mike Junio: Well we did. We have all kinds of great partners in this. We have Oak Cliff Coffee Roasters out of Oak Cliff. We have Millstone Bakery who supplies all of our breads and pastries. We have Zakti out of Oak Cliff who provides all of our fine teas. We try to locally source as much of our dairy and produce as we possibly can from the local farms including Burleson Honey, local pecans, all of the things that we can possibly source from local sources as close to Frisco as possible.
Scott Ellis: Well that's good to hear because we're all about local and supporting local any way we can. It's why we're here and what we do.
Chef Mike Junio: Beautiful.
Scott Ellis: Glad to hear that.
Kristy Pitchford: Well, so Chef Mike is being modest because he actually put together a phenomenal Texas toast menu which is all him. We have savory toast, we have our ham and gruyere, we have sweet toast with our almond butter and honey. Really, that's what stands out with our food is our Texas toast menu.
Scott Ellis: Okay, so I haven't heard about the Texas toast yet, but it sounds like we have some good breakfast sandwiches. Is that the way you describe it?
Kristy Pitchford: Yes, and lunch. They're really hearty. It's a thick slab of bread, whether it's the pumpernickel or the brioche, or a cinnamon swirl toast. Then we have a variety of toppings for it. It is a robust toast.
Scott Ellis: All right. You are being modest.
Chef Mike Junio: I couldn't say that, but Frisco has had such a wonderful reception to our toast. It caught me off guard at first. All of a sudden I was expecting to sell maybe five or six a day and it turned out right now we're up to 30 a day and we're still two weeks new. Our ham and gruyere with a house-made dijon aioli is flying off the shelves. Our house-made pesto cream cheese on our veggie toast is also selling off the shelves. We are really enjoying the reception Frisco is having with our toast to the point where I had to create a new one to allow people a variety. As of today, we are actually going to unveil the caprice toast which is tomato, basil, mozzarella.
Scott Ellis: Oh wow. Well I know what I'll be having for breakfast on Saturday morning. I'll be back. I'm glad to know that you guys have that there. I don't think I'd heard about that before. Now Chef Mike, will you be the chef next door as well?
Chef Mike Junio: Yes.
Scott Ellis: So you're overseeing all of that, both restaurants?
Chef Mike Junio: Yes.
Scott Ellis: Okay, well you're going to be a busy man.
Chef Mike Junio: I am a busy man.
Scott Ellis: Not only was it welcome for you guys to open the shop here in Frisco Square, but it's nice to see that you have really exceeded expectations. I mean, by no means do I want to sound like I'm putting a damper on what you've done here, but I think if anybody would've opened a coffee shop, people would have been happy, but you guys have just taken that to a whole different level because there's, obviously the food is a big part of that but there's a lot going on here besides just coffee including all the games, and we're going to talk about that. There's clearly a tie-in, I think, to Gearbox upstairs with some of that. The space that you've created, the internet. For people that haven't had a chance in the first two weeks to come in and visit for themselves, Kristy, why don't you just describe to everybody what they're going to get when they come through the door.
Kristy Pitchford: Sure. One of the things that we want to do with at Nerdvana is we want to celebrate nerd culture because it's our culture. It's really who we are. We love whether it's tabletop gaming or video games or sci-fi, or any of that stuff. With the coffee shop we really wanted to celebrate tabletop gaming and we've partnered with Madness Games and Comics and Plano and so we actually have a retail element where we sell really their favorite games and some of the things that are the most unique and interesting, things that you're not going to find at typically the Target or a Toys R Us. These are more unique style games and what we've also created here, because we want to bring people together and create a community, sort of a nerd culture community, is we have a lending library where we have a lot of these games where you can come get a drink and a pastry or toast and sit down with your friends and family, pull a board game off the shelf and spend some time.
Scott Ellis: What are some of the board games people are going to find when they come in?
Chef Mike Junio: When we decided to venture into this project, I realized that I couldn't be a noob, if you will, so I had to delve into board games and do a lot of research so that I understood what it was we were getting into. I had some amazing help from some of the guys at Gearbox and the people at Madness to really get me into the culture and what we're doing here. Some of the amazing games that you're going to find here at Nerdvana are going to be classics like Ticket to Ride and Catan. We highlight great games such as Small World, Splendor. We have Five Tribes. We, unfortunately and fortunately, sold out of a great game called Cthulhu Wars which is one of my personal favorites, and we have Quadropolis. All of these games are available in our library and on our retail shelves. They are all fun to play with and mixed time range of how long it takes to play, how many people can play, what age groups people can play. We have quick games like Sushi Go and Geek Dice. We have some classic games like Uno and Friskopoly.
Kristy Pitchford: Friskopoly.
Scott Ellis: Friskopoly! I think I saw that downstairs.
Chef Mike Junio: Which it seems to be one of the …
Kristy Pitchford: That was actually, really a gift from the chamber that's been amazing and we're actually looking to start carrying it here. So I talked to somebody to do that.
Chef Mike Junio: That's one of the crowd's favorites, it turns out. We have a large variety of great games and we're planning on opening up one night a month a board game night for the public to come in and learn one or two new games that they will be taught, encouraged to play while they're here, and just given a free lesson on how to play a great game.
Scott Ellis: Well that will be fun. I'm glad to hear that's coming and as we're sitting here talking about games I'm looking out the window of the podcast booth and I see somebody playing Operation downstairs. Now most of the games you just mentioned I've never heard of before, so I've got some learning to do myself, but I'm glad to hear you have some classics that I'm going to know as well.
Chef Mike Junio: We do. We have to support the classics. The demand is high. People love what they're familiar with and one thing that we're trying to do here is we're trying to introduce people to a new style of game that has rose up over the last 20 years. The European-style games came out and answered to all of our old American games like Monopoly and Risk and Clue, and the Europeans answered back with a European-style game and Americans, in turn, decided to answer back to the European style games and come up with a new culture called Ameritrash. I did not coin this phrase but I surely love it. Now we have games like Cthulhu Wars where we have five inch figures with armies of 20 that fight against other five inch figures with armies of 20, and they clash. Our whole point here is to introduce people to a new style of gaming that might normally seem intimidating to the noob, if you will.
Kristy Pitchford: Yeah. I mean, one of the things that people find when they come in, especially when we have an opportunity for our staff to kind of tutorial a game for them is that the pieces may look intimidating, but there's a lot of familiar game style. There's a lot of familiar play and once they get in and they kind of get the rules, the get okay and then it becomes really comfortable and really fun. One of the things is when they see familiar things, like we have the Star Wars stuff which is a really robust game, but you're familiar with the ships, you're familiar with the … It feels more accessible and we really want to create a community of new people coming in and learning new games and expanding what they play.
Scott Ellis: Well good, so there's a whole lot more going on here than just some coffee and food. Plenty of things for people to do, particularly around the games. If you want to learn new games, maybe there are games that people haven't tried but they've heard of, they can come in and learn that. Do you have people on staff that are dedicated to teaching people these games? How does that work?
Kristy Pitchford: We're going to have some nights where we do tutorials where we'll have people from Madness, we'll have our own staff doing tutorials, we'll feature games. Absolutely if somebody comes in and grabs a game off the shelf and they're just, "I wish somebody could just at least talk me through it." Our staff will absolutely walk them through some of it.
Scott Ellis: Good. Good to know.
Kristy Pitchford: Yeah, absolutely.
Scott Ellis: The other thing I noticed is you guys went all out on the aesthetic and the décor. In particular, the tables that have games built into them. Now these look like they're not necessarily meant to be played, they're more decorative, but there are actual … There's a table down there that's got a setup from a classic chess match and it's under glass, kind of built in underneath, inside the table. What are some of the other highlights down here that just kind of add to that atmosphere?
Kristy Pitchford: Well one note is Chef Mike and our dad built every single table in the shop, so every single table, whether it's a game table or just the tables, they built every single one because, you know, not enough to do.
Chef Mike Junio: Little side [inaudible 00:12:37] just busy.
Kristy Pitchford: Right. The tables that you're looking at that have the game dioramas and the dice and stuff, so they built and then Madness took the tables and inserted the dioramas. We have a series of Monopolies on one of them. We have Lord of the Rings Monopoly and a whole bunch of different ones.
Chef Mike Junio: Doctor Who Monopoly.
Kristy Pitchford: Then the dice one, it's just a table full of dice which is so colorful and amazing. My personal favorite is the one that has, it looks like an old junk drawer at home where all your loose pieces go in. Your loose money and your loose tokens and game pieces, so that's my personal favorite.
Scott Ellis: That is good attention to detail because we all have one of those somewhere.
Kristy Pitchford: Right?
Chef Mike Junio: Now the big draw to most of our big gamers is the Dungeons and Dragons table and it brings people a tear of joy, both sadness and pleasure when they see that madness not only donated their first edition Dungeons and Dragons master books, but they cut them up to put inside the table and it actually displays a game in progress. You can actually look down in the table and see what it was like to be playing that game 25 some odd years ago.
Scott Ellis: I'm guessing that is the best seat in the house.
Kristy Pitchford: Yeah. It's pretty good.
Chef Mike Junio: It is voted that way, yes. Definitely a hard seat to get.
Kristy Pitchford: As far as the rest of the décor, we had a lot of help from Plan B. Plan B is also helping us do the restaurant. The did Whiskey Cake and Mexican Sugar, I mean, they're a really great design studio. That's been really great and then my assistant, John Martin, is an interior designer. He's helped with a lot of stuff. He did the lending library. We've had a lot of great design minds. My husband, who is the CEO of Gearbox Software, he's a designer as well. He actually did the vinyl piece that we have here which is, it's actually the game Senate which is the oldest known board game out of Egypt and he took a program where he took the words, the history of, and rules and made a mosaic into the art. We've been very fortunate that we've had a lot of great design minds that have been able to throw themselves into this and it's paid off.
Scott Ellis: Well you just answered one of my next questions since we're talking about décor and that is, what is the mosaic with all the words? I knew that had to be from something but I had no idea what. That's an interesting little back story. I'll have to go look that up. Anything else in particular you'd like to tell us about the shop? Maybe anything special or unique things that you want people to know?
Kristy Pitchford: Other than we're really, really excited to be a part of Frisco Square and a part of Frisco and we're super excited to bring nerd culture and the at Nerdvana culture here with the museum, the video game history museum, and with Gearbox here. We feel like Frisco has been so incredibly welcoming for us and it's felt amazing.
Scott Ellis: Well, we're glad to have you here. Glad to hear that. Chef Mike, thanks for all your hard work in helping to put this place together as well. I cannot wait to try some Texas toast. I will definitely be back in on Saturday morning. What time do you guys open on Saturday?
Chef Mike Junio: We are open 8am to 9pm Saturday and Sunday, and 6am to 9pm Monday through Friday.
Scott Ellis: Very good. Well I may be waiting at the door when you guys come in.
Chef Mike Junio: That's how we like to open.
Scott Ellis: For anybody else that is looking forward to a visit, Nerdvana Coffee is in Frisco Square. It is in the bottom of, the first floor I should say, of the Gearbox building. If you're not sure which one that is, it is just west of the main strip on Frisco Square, kind of behind the apartments. Between the apartments on Main Street actually. You can see it from Main Street but I think you'll want to enter off the backside, kind of drive around [crosstalk 00:16:47]
Kristy Pitchford: We have parking, well I guess it's the backside to us we'll call it. The frontside, but the southside. There's lots of parking there, yep.
Scott Ellis: Come on in, grab a cup of coffee, and if you really want to have a little extra fun, and I'll post a link to the one I did today, there's a little app out there called Ripples.
Kristy Pitchford: Coffee Ripples is the app.
Scott Ellis: Coffee Ripples.
Kristy Pitchford: Yep. What it does is you can order a foamed drink, whether it's a latte or a cappuccino or even our decadent chocolate, you can ask for it with the phone. If you're going to get it rippled, you just tell the barista, "I'm going to get that rippled," and you can actually print a picture onto your beverage and it's really, really cool.
Scott Ellis: It is cool. I was looking at my coffee and I'm staring back at myself. I'm having a little bit of a Hannibal moment wondering if I should drink my coffee. It was very good. That's a neat little thing. Coffee Ripples there's an iPhone app. Is there an Android app for that as well?
Chef Mike Junio: Absolutely.
Scott Ellis: There is. Very good. Everybody can go out and put your face on your coffee.
Kristy Pitchford: That's right, whatever you want.
Scott Ellis: And online, where should people go to find you online?
Kristy Pitchford: Our website is nerdvanafrisco.com and you can go there for now. You can see the coffee shop. We'll be posting progress about the restaurant as we go on that site as well.
Scott Ellis: Very good, and what about social media? Are you guys on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram?
Kristy Pitchford: Absolutely. We are NerdvanaCoffee on Twitter, we're NerdvanaFriscoCoffee on Facebook and we're NerdvanaCoffee on Instagram.
Scott Ellis: All right, there you go. We'll link all this stuff up in the show notes. Guys, we finally have a coffee shop in Frisco Square. Thank you so much.
Kristy Pitchford: Absolutely. Thank you.
Scott Ellis: Thank you guys for carving out a little time to join us and everybody out there listening, we will talk to you next week.

Politicians' Comments on Sunny Leone Ads Silly, Says Shilpa
Published: 04th September 2015 12:32 AM | Last Updated: 04th September 2015 12:32 AM | A+A A-
MUMBAI: Actress Shilpa Shetty came out in support of actress Sunny Leone by terming the recent controversy on her condom advertisement as "silly comments by a fringe".
"It's just some of the fringe who thinks like that. I don't think everybody thinks like that, it's very silly. These things happen everywhere. There are controversies everywhere and this is a really silly thing that you're giving too much attention to," Shilpa told media persons at the Indian Merchant Chamber's Ladies Wing Exhibition 2015 when asked about the controversy.
"I just think that all five fingers can't be like each other. You got to have all kinds that make the world. Just concentrate on the positives. I think India is a great country; I love it and feel very proud to be Indian, to represent my country anywhere in the world."
Communist Party of India's national secretary (CPI) Atul Kumar Anjan claimed that Sunny's condom advertisement will trigger the tendency among men to commit rapes and that it was developing sexuality and ruining sensibilities. Sunny is a former pornstar who is a full-fledged actress today, famous for her explicit scenes in films.
Shilpa has had her share of controversies including the one on the popular reality show "Big Brother" and the Richard Gere kissing incident.
Regarding the association of controversies with celebrities, she said: "Celebrities are always sitting ducks. So we just accept it. I've learnt to live by the philosophy that when you're a celebrity, you shouldn't complain and you shouldn't explain. That's it."

The multi-million dollar lawsuit against the City of Mission over a March 2013 incident at the Mission post office on Broadmoor has been ended, but the terms of the agreement that led to its dismissal are being kept secret.
Catrina Engle had sued the city, then police chief John Simmons and officers Timothy Gift and Michelle Pierce, asking for $1.75 million in compensatory damages and $1.75 in punitive damages. The suit was dismissed voluntarily in late June by both sides with each party paying its own attorney's fees. The city was represented by attorneys for its insurance company.
An open records request by shawneemissionpost.com for the terms of any agreement or any payments issued by the city were all met with the response that the information was "confidential and privileged per the insurance company's lawyer, Peter Maharry. Fisher Patterson Sayler & Smith." Maharry did not return a call Wednesday morning. The only substantive answer provided to the request said that the "City's deductible was $5,000." That was in response to a question asking for records that would indicate payments by the city or its insurance company to Engle under any agreement.
The Mission City Council held an executive session in June near the time of the dismissal, citing litigation as the justification for the closed meeting. A confidentiality agreement is reportedly in place over terms of any settlement. The insurance company's attorneys represented the city in the federal suit.
During the post office incident, officers handcuffed Engle and took her to the ground. She was charged with interfering with a police officer and disorderly conduct and found guilty by Mission City Judge Keith Drill in August 2013. She appealed the conviction and was found innocent on both charges in Johnson County District Court in November 2013. Mission City Attorney David Martin prosecuted that case for the city.
In her federal lawsuit, filed before the district court trial, she alleged that police threw her to the ground, searched her purse, performed a cavity search and took her driver's license without consent. Her children were nearby when she was taken into custody. She claimed a violation of her Constitutional rights and emotional harm to the children.
Simmons left the department the next month after the federal suit was filed. Pierce, the officer who initially interacted with Engle at the scene, also has left the department.

Coca-Cola Joins the Revolution in a World Where the Mob Rules
Adapting to a networked planet run by consumers
CANNES, France—Invoking the spirit and language of modern revolution—everything from the Arab Spring to the Occupy movement—Coca-Cola's top marketer on Tuesday explained how the company is adapting to a world of change led by the "mob" of consumers who are relentlessly sharing media across their large and growing digital networks.
In a session here at the Cannes Lions festival, Joe Tripodi, chief marketing and commercial officer at Coke, said the digital tools that are revolutionizing how people communicate require a parallel revolution from marketers trying to engage them. Mostly, he said, this means developing strongly sharable pieces of communication that generate huge numbers of impressions online—and then, crucially, lead to expressions from consumers, who join the story and extend it, and then finally to transactions, in Coke's case all under the theme of happiness and optimism.
Tripodi showed several videos of Coke content from around the world that has gone viral and created "shared value" for the company, its customers and its shareholders. They included Coke's Hug Me vending machine at a university in Singapore that dispensed cans of Coke when people put their arms around it and hugged it. The video generated more than 112 million impressions in the first seven days—high-impact results with low-cost delivery. Tripodi also highlighted the Project Connect initiative in Australia, in which Coke personalized bottles by putting common first names on them.
"It's not just about pushing stuff out as we've historically done," Tripodi said. "It's about participating in discussions with people. We have to provide a narrative that people can engage with. We have to create experiences that perhaps are only had by a few but are compelling enough to fuel conversations with many."
In addition to the company's traditional marketing—some of which is functional, and some emotional—Tripodi also gave an overview of what he called Coke's "cultural leadership" marketing efforts, its attempts to "authentically shine a light on a cause" to improve the world and thus organically embody the brand promise of provoking happiness. The major example is Coke's Arctic Home project to protect the habitat of polar bears—digital versions of whom have starred in Coke's holiday ads for decades. As part of that campaign, Coke turned its traditional red cans to white and, working with the World Wildlife Fund, committed $3 million to the cause. The first year of a three-year effort drew 1.3 billion impressions.
Tripodi spoke, too, of collaborative innovations it has been pursuing with companies like Walmart and Spotify. Coke's Dasani water had been losing shelf space at Walmart for some time, but Coke reversed that trend by developing the PlantBottle, a new eco-friendly packaging that Walmart endorsed and even helped to promote. With Spotify, Coke has set up a global partnership that will include a Spotify app, a Facebook integration and a marketing campaign next year. "Music is at the core of activation for so many of our brands," said Tripodi.
Not surprisingly, music is baked into the company's "Move to the Beat" campaign for the upcoming London Olympics, in which famed British music producer Mark Ronson took the sounds of five different Olympic sports and blended them into one song.
Coke isn't just hoping to hold on to market share. Its aim—what Tripodi called its "BHAG," or "big hairy audacious goal"—is to double its business by the end of the decade. And it clearly sees the social power of youth as a juggernaut of exploitable energy in this regard—particularly online, where young people, through content sharing, can transcend brand loyalty and become brand advocates. Coke already has 42 million Facebook fans—that's almost 5 percent of all Facebook users. And it already has the brand positioning of optimism, which young people zealously share. With this base, Coke feels well positioned perhaps not only to join the revolution sweeping the world but to lead it.
"Our culture today, as we know, is very youth driven and starstruck," said Tripodi. "It's music enthusiastic and media savvy, environmentally conscious, revolutionary and open to change. And youth culture is fundamentally optimistic. As a beacon of optimism, as an icon of happiness, Coca-Cola sees the world through the lens of the glass is half full, and ties this approach to culturally relevant and defining thought leadership and creative."

palabras auténticas
A couple years ago, it was brought to my attention that I frequently translanguage when telling stories. I continue to find myself filling my stories with the words of others in the language in which they were originally uttered. For example, if I am relating what a Spanish instructor said in class, I will reproduce exactly what he said in Spanish before providing an explanation in English. I do this irrespective of whether or not my interlocutor speaks the language of the characters who populate my stories. In reflecting upon this unconscious habit, I feel that doing otherwise simply wouldn't do justice to the story. A translation of all quotations into English is not enough. It somehow does not have the same impact as the original language. It's does not succeed in recreating the experience produced by the words when they were originally uttered.
Do you find yourself translanguaging in similar ways? Do you tell stories in multiple languages?

|Filling in the Spaces
|Chovanec, Anna; Haynes, Carl C.; Maust, Katrina
|Library and information science education
|This presentation will introduce the ongoing student-led program "Filling in the Spaces" (FiTS) at Syracuse University. This program treats the library school environment and experience as a human library in itself, responding to the immediate educational and informational needs of students in an "all-hands-on-deck" way. Organized and supported by the Library and Information Science Student Assembly at SU (LISSA), FiTS maintains a living document of student interests, informational needs, and gaps in the curriculum, matching them with other students who are able to provide instruction or support in each area. LISSA then facilitates an informal presentation or instruction session (live-streamed and recorded) for distribution to the rest of the student body and alumni. LISSA recognizes that, as library students, many of us have extensive backgrounds and personal passions in very diverse fields. We also recognize that library school is short and, sometimes, we need to divide and conquer. We converse with one another both across the classroom and across the world while maintaining full-time jobs and even starting from the ground up in a new profession. This makes taking advantage of the here-and-now particularly challenging. Working to establish each member of our student community as a resource, the FiTS program has helped us forge more meaningful, expertise-driven relationships with classmates, our de-facto professional network. We see the potential for this program to knit the fabric of our community a little more tightly, as well as help us engage with and mine the wealth of knowledge and experience among our online classmates. Given the limited opportunities for pre-professional opportunities, FiTS also provides a platform for students to acquire valuable presentation and instruction experience in a self-directed and impactful way. The value of a program like FiTS is in its unique ability to help bridge the gap between being classmates and becoming colleagues, while driving student inquiry, boosting engagement, and enhancing the LIS community at SU. Perhaps most importantly, FiTS provides us with an avenue for immediate educational enhancement on our terms, while faculty wrestle with making long-term changes to curricula to meet the transforming requirements of the LIS field.

The annual Korea Queer Film Festival (KQFF) in Seoul has a mission to increase the diversity of Korean films and promote the human rights and culture of the LGBTIQ community.
The 18th annual Korea Queer Film Festival (KQFF) has worked to make a space for queer creators to tell divergent narratives that disrupt longstanding depiction of the LGBTIQ community on screen.
Notably, this venue of representation was established alongside Korea Queer Culture Festival in 2001. Further, as one of the cornerstone LGBTIQ events in South Korea, where general awareness and acceptance of sexual minorities remains low, it plays a critical role in providing and supporting a wide range of queer content.
This year, the film festival will begin on July 7 and last for a reported three days, ending on July 10. Moreover, the current theme of the festival, "Dear Queer Lives" has taken an intimate tone with a letter that directly addresses the individual.
In a fantastic poem (link in Korean) titled "Dear Queers," the KQFF write that "it's (the film festival) a declaration to call out the beings that have been erased from society" and "the name we call each other, Queer/ We remember that name," "we remember you." While intimate, the festival's thematic poem is also direct and unapologetic.
As of the writing of this article, KQFF has not yet announced the venue's location nor ticket prices and date of sale. In the meantime, take a look at KQFF's official 2017 trailer below.

Gluten free Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Avocado Lime Frosting
Life is sweet.
So far gluten-free baking has been a lot of trial and error, a lot of disappointments and some minor successes. But this recipe has been a definite success! I gave a mini-bundt cake version made from leftover batter to a friend of mine and she told me "I hope you wrote down whatever you did, because that was amazing. I couldn't even tell it was gluten-free!" I thought I remembered what I did, so I made sure to make them immediately again the following day and write everything down.
I'm gonna let you in on a little secret that I've probably admitted before, but, I don't like measuring things, and therefore I'm much more of a cook than a baker. Sure, I can bake stuff, but my will to eyeball and guesstimate everything gives me a bit less than consistent results. That's why I'm much more of a cook, and furthermore why I don't have as many recipes as I'd like to on this blog – measuring is stifling to me, and sometimes it feels like I don't get the best results when I'm busy with teaspoons and measuring cups and pens and notebooks. Or maybe I'm just expecting an over-the-top spectacular mouthgasm since I'm putting all that "work" into making that food/recipe, when really it is totally yummy and I just need to calm down a little and enjoy tasty food for what it is. (This, among other reasons, is why I have a gigantic list of recipe ideas for the next zine, but very few actual recipes. I'm working on it ).
But now I've got this little gem of a gluten-free dessert recipe because I DID write things down (and I made it three times in the last week). I started with the Coconut Lime Cupcake Recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, which is very lovely and a favorite of many. However, it is glutenous and contains refined sugar, which I generally try to avoid these days in favor of agave, maple, dates, or brown rice syrup. This is less-sweet than the original recipe and perhaps a bit "healthier"-tasting, which is how I roll with baked goods (the last time I made something with the full amount of sugar called for I got a sore throat), and contains a couple other minor changes to make up for the differences in gluten-free flours. Though far from fat-free, I think using real, natural fats is super-okay, and these are meant to be treats, am I right?
While I imagine this might work with a different flour blend, my little experience with gluten-free baking goes to show that even minor changes can yield drastically different results, and I'd recommend trying out the blend given here. As a bonus, you need no pricey xantham gum to achieve these sturdy little cupcakes; they are "firm" like a traditional cupcake and won't fall apart on you once you've taken a bite. But most of all, they are really really tasty, especially when paired with the tangy avocado lime frosting (which is soy-free and refined-sugar-free too!). So if you're gluten-free or you've got a gluten-free friend in need of a special tropical treat, I really hope you'll give this a try.
GF Coconut Lime Cupcakes
(makes 12 cupcakes)
1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup agave nectar or brown rice syrup
1 1/4 light coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract (make sure it's gluten-free if you need it to be)
zest from two limes
1/3 cup millet flour
1/3 cup sorghum flour
3 tbsp tapioca flour
2 tbsp coconut flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly grease or line a 12-cupcake pan with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil and agave or brown rice syrup. Add the coconut milk, vanilla and lime zest and stir well.
Sift together the millet, sorghum, tapioca, and coconut flours with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the liquid mixture and combine with a whisk or rubber spatula. Stir in the shredded coconut.
Pour into prepared cupcake pan and bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the tops "spring back" under light pressure and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool slightly and remove cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
I'm not a huge fan of frosting, particularly "buttercream" frosting. It's always been like eating sickeningly sweet flavorless fat to me. And I know some agree with that and some don't, and if you don't, a limey buttercream frosting will be perfectly divine on this cupcake. But if you want to try something new, make friends with the magic of avocado! It's pretty and green and isn't salty like that certain popular brand of non-hydrogenated vegan margarine (which admittedly I do love on toast). This frosting isn't quite as stiff as a margarine-and-powdered-sugar frosting is, but it will retain its piped shape beautifully once it's gone through the chilling process…the key here is the addition of some liquid coconut oil which becomes solid when cold. This also makes a great raw mousse or pudding, too, if that suits your fancy!
Avocado Lime Frosting
makes about 10 oz.
2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
juice of one large lime
splash vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 cup agave or brown rice syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Blend the avocados, lime juice, vanilla extract and sweetener in a food processor or blender until smooth. With the machine on, slowly add the melted coconut oil and process until combined. Transfer to a bowl or container and chill in the refrigerator until set.
To decorate the cupcakes, frost or pipe with the avocado lime frosting and decorate with flaked coconut if desired.
This cupcake business has got me into a gluten-free baking frenzy, at least for someone who doesn't bake very often! Unfortunately my attempt at a muffin recipe resulted in a very tasty but very crumbly mess, though I'm having higher hopes for some hazelnut chocolate crisps (above), which I nibbled on with leftover frosting. Should further attempts prove successful, a recipe will be forthcoming later in the week. Hip hip!

A Landscape of Grace
Saturday, January 11, 2014
"This is the true nature of home. It is the place of Peace; the shelter, not only from all injury, but from all terror, doubt, and division." (John Ruskin)
Almost everyone has a place they call home. Emily Dickinson said, very simply, that "Where Thou art - that - is Home," and often that is true, and yet still for many there is a longing for something more, something more like what Ruskin suggests.
Just before six this morning, I went out walking. I thought as I walked that I am blessed to be walking from, to, and in something of what approaches that place of Peace that Ruskin suggests. This morning the landscape suggested something more than what appeared. It became a landscape of grace. Walking in the stillness of fog, with only a light dripping of rain, alone, I thought of what Adam must have felt like that first day of existence in the Garden, when God walked with him, his presence as palpable as rain. Water from heavier rain, rushing under the bridge, became one of the four rivers coursing through the Garden, a river with an exotic name like Pishon. I walked through trees I could not name and thought of Adam considering each animal and each tree and naming it. What a privilege to give something a name, to define it, to give it shape by our words. The gentle contour of the road suggested grace, a cul-de-sac an opportunity for repentance, for turning, a stop sign a simple command: "You shall not eat." I touched it and stopped, and then turned for home.
The best homes and places become for us huge multi-layered metaphors for our true Home in Christ. For the believer, all streets lead to Christ, even the ones with no name. The familiar rooms of our homes, our favorite chairs, our window with a view, remind us of the deep contentment that we will know in a New Earth. Every tangible thing in Creation becomes an icon, a window on a Triune God. They point beyond themselves. In Heaven, our God-senses perfected, perhaps we will then hear rocks cry out and trees clap their hands.
Yet this morning, I was content with the whisper of the fog, the holy mist that swirled around me, and the poetry of my heartbeat, that primal iambic pentameter. My prayers - inchoate, interrupted, and distracted though they were - were the baby-talk of a love language I'll master on that coming Day.
That'll be the day.

Walk-in ATM
Credit: Wikipedia.org
You might want to take special precautions for the ATM's that required you to come in a building. This forces you to get out of your car, therefore, possibly putting you in "harm's way." You might want to take someone with you when possible. If this is not possible, do you look around to see if other cars or people are around? When coming and going to your car be aware of your surroundings.
Walk-up ATM
When at this particular type of ATM, you should be observant of your surroundings. It is too open. Anyone can just walk up behind you. It puts you to a disadvantage, because someone could look over your shoulder or come up directly behind you and demand your money. Take special precautions at this type of ATM.
ATM - Drive Thru
Do you make it a point to use the drive through during the day time as oppose to the night? This is something that you might want to think about. Also, I have observed there have been those that are not in cars but are walking on foot to approach the ATM to do their banking. Are you observant to make sure they are only there to use the ATM and not to rob you?
After you receive your cash, do you discern your surroundings and insure that no one is following you? If you suspect someone is following you, call 911 from your cell phone? There are many unscrupulous robbers now. They will do anything to get your money and your identification. Be sure to check and be sure to lock your car door.
If you get locked inside a walk-in ATM do you know what to do? This happened to me once. If I did not have a cell phone, I possibly would be stuck there until another ATM customer came or someone in my family discovered I was missing. Somehow the door locked me in, but would not let me out. I waited for a few minutes, that seemed like eternity, and it did not seem that any ATM customers were coming anytime soon. I decided to call 911. The police came to my rescue in a matter of minutes and helped me out. To my surprise the police informed me that I was not the first person that this had happened to.
Remember to count your money in your car? If you are counting it and a robber spots it, you then become easy prey. I used to wonder my grandmother always said, "Fold your money up, do not carry it loosely in your hands." I saw a mock bank robbery where customers had their money in their hands before approaching the teller window. As the robber came in, he quickly grabbed the money from the customers hands and then jumped over the teller window. Until I saw this, I would have never imagined. This is something you probably need to think about. So in the future keep safe at the ATM.

Question on purines and gout: I just started the plant based, "face free" diet as advocated in Fork over Knife. During the past 10 years, while eating a typical American Diet (low fat, but with dairy and meat), I have experienced gout like symptoms in my big toe and ankle and can definitely associate it with eating lima beans (one of my favorites). Can I expect this issue to remediate with the new diet? Currently scared to eat limas, and tread carefully when trying new varieties of beans.

What kind of tea do you use instead of coffee?
I tried coffee once and got addicted for a year. Then I started getting insomnia, palpitations and other problems. I decided to quit drinking. I felt so much better after about a week and never touched coffee since. I believe the risks outweigh the benefits with coffee. I'd rather eat my veggies, beans, whole grains and fruits and use sunscreen to decrease my risks of getting skin cancer. I also read this article 2 years ago http://www.forbes.com/sites/travisbradberry/2012/08/21/caffeine-the-silent-killer-of-emotional-intelligence/ and through my own experience and what I see happen with regular coffee drinkers, I'm happy I quit drinking coffee.
Any thoughts/studies on the 'benefits' of medical marijuana? and, can a person O.D. on pot, as an article from Britian just suggested?
Michael and Staff, your work is the most significant right now in our country,(since we influence the world). You have certainly influenced my and husbands health. I tell everyone about this site. My birthday present from hubby will be a donation.
That is very kind of you to support this incredible resource!
I have heard that coffee can cause hormonal imbalance leading to the formation of ovarian cysts. Have you heard anything about this? Also, although you advocate green tea consumption, I have heard that it is very high in fluoride and that fluoride causes cognitive decline. Any thoughts on this?
does coffee really stunt your growth
How something so acidic can be healthy?
Why should an acid be unhealthy? Vitamin C is Ascorbic acid.
Please, lets look at this video about coffee

Hi Dr. Greger. I am a fan. I have a question. The last sentence says "Greens beat out beans (and pretty much everything else)" but didn't we learn that beans are the single determinant in global life expectancy?
Hold on, studies have showed that coffee raises cholesterol levels whilst green tea lowers them. If you are a cholesterol hypothesis fan as Dr Gregor appears to be then coffee could be a bad idea for some
I got the impression that he was a fan of green tea… Not coffee, you might want to watch the video again for clarity
I am trying to find some definitive answers on the bioavailability of Niacin in coffee. I've looked into some resources which confirm coffee should have enough Niacin on its own to meet daily needs (A. Carvalho 1962 | R.F. Smith 1963) . However I'm still not sure if one can rely (on a whole foods vegan diet) quasi exclusively coffee for Niacin ? (Carvalho says 3.5 cups of daily coffee only gives 1/3 of the RDA, not sure how)
I eat the exact type of diet you recommend: vegan, only non-or-little-processed plant foods, plenty of fruits and vegetables and whole grains & beans. I have recently noticed though that my eyesight sometimes profoundly sharpens after drinking coffee. And according to my knowledge about my diet, I know I get most of my Niacin from coffee (yes even on a whole foods plant based diet), so I was wondering could it be that my diet is missing some Niacin due to maybe bad absorption from coffee ? (which would explain the improvement shortly after drinking it). This is related to a chronic neck tension headache I have, and therefore I'm trying my best to elucidate all related problems.
What about green coffee beans? What does the research say? Is it just a fad?

I let my home insurance lapse. The bank went out and secured a new policy, and then notified me that I'm responsible for paying the premium. The new insurance is a lot more expensive. Can the bank do this?
Yes. Loan contracts usually contain a provision requiring that you properly insure the loan collateral. If not properly insured, National banks can "force place" insurance on your behalf at any time during the term of the loan. The bank can do this if it determines that the property securing the loan is not covered by insurance—or is underinsured.
Generally, your mortgage lender will notify you if there is an issue with your hazard insurance such as a lapse in policy or the need to increase the coverage amount. The lender may ask you to provide a copy of the declaration page from the policy as proof of coverage. If you do not have insurance, the bank can purchase the insurance on your behalf. The premium on this insurance will always be much more expensive than the cost of a policy you can purchase yourself.
The bank can charge you for the cost of the insurance premiums and any fees incurred in purchasing the insurance. It can do this in one of three ways:
- requesting an increased monthly payment
- demanding the full amount of the premium at the end of the loan
- adding the premium to the unpaid balance of the loan and extending the payment period

Then an optimal level of Nitric Oxide (NO) should become your number one performance priority.
Read on and then download our free report—The Secret to Unlocking your Personal Performance Potential—to learn how raising your NO level can give you a competitive edge.
Your nitric oxide level drives your physical performance potential.
The cells in a highly-efficient body use fuel (from the food you eat) and oxygen (from the air you breathe) for energy to power your heart, lungs and muscles. The latest research proves that when your nitric oxide level is low, your body will not be efficient at producing and delivering the energy your body needs for peak, athletic performance. And when the body's energy production capacity falls behind, all those early morning practices and hours of hard training can actually reduce—instead of improve—your athletic performance.
Here's the good news: When you raise your NO level, your personal performance results can sky rocket!
The effects of nitric oxide are fleeting but powerful.
Because nitric oxide is a short-lived gas that dissipates very quickly after being released, the pivotal role it plays in virtually every physiological function took even the scientific community by surprise. Now, almost 15 years after its Nobel Prize winning discovery and more than 120,000 scientific papers later, the health and performance enhancing benefits of NO are being realized...
As it's created and released, nitric oxide quickly and easily penetrates the cellular membranes initiating myriad signals that give an almost-immediate boost the body's energy production system. Most notably, it relaxes the smooth muscle lining of the blood vessels, promoting better blood flow (and therefore oxygen delivery) to the cells.
NO also acts as powerful antioxidant by neutralizing the free radical superoxide and promoting the formation of glutathione, a critical antioxidant. It facilitates the transmission of messages between nerve cells contributing to improved memory and learning capacities, better sleep, and a more positive mood. It supports the immune system by helping the body fight off infections and the potential development of cancer cells.
And as bodybuilders have known for years, it contributes directly to glucose uptake, muscle velocity, power output, gene expression, and muscle growth. You'll learn more about how NO supports the body's ability to build and maintain muscle when you download our free report— The Secret to Unlocking Your Personal Performance Potential.
An unexpected discovery.
Over the past few years, the health and performance applications revealed by NO science have been almost too numerous to count. New insights into how the body can convert certain foods to nitric oxide have provided us with an even greater appreciation for the vital importance of eating your greens (and your reds). And why supplementation with large amounts of sports supplements containing L-arginine are not effective for many athletes, especially those over the age of 40.
It turns out that the nitrates found in dark, green vegetables; and in beets, pomegranates, and berries are essential for NO production. If these foods are lacking in your diet—or if the health of your mouth and intestinal bacteria are compromised—your body will not be able to produce an adequate amount of NO. In addition, a lack of sleep, over training, aging, and the use of alcohol or certain medications can also lead to the performance-reducing depletion of your NO level.
Here's even more good news: Achieving and n optimal NO level is simple with the right action plan!
Download our free report The Secret to Unlocking Your Personal Performance Potential to learn more about how nitrate-rich foods can help to build and maintain an optimal NO level; what nutrients and nutritional supplements can optimize and activate it; and how to regularly assess and monitor your restorative results.

Punching holes in the child labour amendment bill in Lok Sabha, BJP member Varun Gandhi today described some of the proposed changes in the Act as "lunacy".
"It's not leniency, but lunacy", he said while referring to certain provisions relating to punishment for violation of the child labour laws.
Participating in the debate on the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Bill 2016, Gandhi wanted to know how the authorities would determine whether the parent violating the law was a first-time offender or a repeat offender.
Under the proposed amendment to the child labour law which has already been approved by the Rajya Sabha, there is no punishment for a first-time offender parent but there is provision for penalty for repeat offenders.
Gandhi also raised questions on the implementation of the law especially with regard to prosecution of offenders.
Observing that the Right to Education law provided for free and compulsory education up to the age of 14 years, he wondered what a child would do before he or she completes 18 years.
He also demanded that the list of hazardous industries for purposes of child labour laws be expanded to include construction where children are forced to assist their working parents.
Gandhi further said that the provision authorising the government to omit hazardous industries from the list should be removed and added only Parliament should have the authority to prune the list.
The nation should dream of a future wherein a child is seen holding a book in his hand and not agricultural equipments or a broom, Gandhi added.
Gandhi received support from the UN child agency, UNICEF, which too voiced concern
The UN agency, according to Times of India, said the provision will impact children from poorer families and legitimise family work, thus causing further disadvantage to them as there is a lot of outsourced work carried out from home.
The bill makes employing a child below 14 years of age in any occupation or process, except where the child helps his or her family, punishable by a jail term of up to two years and even provides for a penalty for parents.
"Under the new Child Labour Act, the more invisible forms of child labour and exploitation may go unseen and the most vulnerable and marginalised children may end up with irregular school attendance, lower levels of learning," said Euphrates Gobina, UNICEF chief of education in India.
Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) founder and Nobel Peace prize winner Kailash Satyarthi+ had earlier told Times of India that the changes would lead to further "victimisation of children" in their poverty.

Consolidating Super
Get organised and reduce fund fees and paper work
Many Australians have super funds from previous employers in a number of accounts. If you do, you could be paying unnecessary fees and insurance premiums. Combining these fees into one fund means you can easily track, manage and review your fund investment at a glance. Learn how to consolidate your super below.
Consolidate your super today
To consolidate your super, you can transfer your benefits to VISSF from another superannuation fund at any time. At the same time you can transfer any insurance you have and obtain the same amount of cover with our insurer without having to produce evidence of health. Any super amounts transferred are credited to your Member Account in the same manner as contributions.
VISSF does not charge an entry fee if you transfer a benefit from another fund. If you would like VISSF to help you transfer a benefit from another fund, simply follow these five easy steps:
1. Plan it out
Get a handle on where your super is currently held and where you want it to go. While this may take a little effort at first, the long-term rewards will make your hard work well worth it. After all, it's your hard earned money and future at stake.
2. Collect latest statements from previous funds
If you are unable to find previous statements, you can contact your previous employer to find out where your super was invested. If you still can't find your fund, it may be classified as 'lost'. You're not alone, currently 1 in 2 Australians have 'lost' super totalling more than 17 billion dollars. Visit the Finding Lost Super page for more details on how to locate your lost superannuation.
3. Check with previous funds
Before deciding to transfer a benefit from another fund, you should enquire with your previous fund whether any fees or penalties will apply. You should also ascertain what effect, if any, the transfer will have on any insurance cover you may have in your previous fund. If you have insurance cover and want to transfer it to VISSF you can.
Call our Client Services Team for more information.
4. Complete the transfer using Member Online
If you haven't already, register for Member Online so you can arrange your transfer electronically. It takes less than a minute and your password is emailed to you instantly - then you can log in to consolidate your super online in a few quick steps.
In as little as three days, your entire super will be working for you in the one super fund. You will have successfully consolidated your super. Well done.

About This Class
Welcome to another Jen Dixon Boot Camp class! This time, we're going to build up some killer skills with pen and ink drawing.
My very first class on Skillshare was a short one on Ink Hatching, and ever since publishing it I have wanted to do a more in-depth class on ink...
Here it is, and it will take beginners to new levels, and sharpen skills and discipline for experienced ink artists too.
My Boot Camp classes are about learning your tools and practicing techniques, and then practicing some more. There is no shortcut for hard work, and you might even leave your desk with a hand cramp. It'll be worth it though, as you're going to leap over creative ruts, learn new techniques, and build some killer skills.
Ready to do some serious practice and learn new stuff? Great.
To get started with this class, you'll need a pen and paper. If you want to practice with more specific tools, I recommend the following:
- Bristol board or other smooth art paper
- A range of fineliners, pigment liner pens, or other artist pens (dip pens are great too)
- Watercolour brushes
- Inks - waterproof or non-waterproof
- Paper towels
- Rinse water
- A pencil and eraser
Ink drawing is bold, creative, and a heck of a lot of fun. Whether you're a doodler of patterns or a sketcher of portraits, this class is for you.
Let's get started.

OP man remains missing after 4 days of searching
Search to resume on Friday
Crews have wrapped up a fourth day of searching for Jeffrey Bridge, who was last seen on Sunday night when he told his family he wanted to go look at flash flooding.
Crews spent the day searching an area west of Antioch Road to Nall Avenue, an Overland Park police news release said. Bridge was not located.
Police said the water level in the creek has dropped another foot, which is allowing searchers to access certain locations.
The search will continue Friday morning at 8:30 a.m.
Bridge, 36, lives in apartments near 105th and Conser Streets, which is close to Indian Creek. Family members said he went out Sunday night to check out flash flooding and never returned. His pants were found by searchers on Monday.
Officials said the search for Bridge has turned from rescue to recovery.

Longtime readers of this space may remember that in the spring of 2006 a certain movie reviewer went on and on (and on, then on some more) about her love for Rian Johnson's first film, "Brick," a near-flawless pulp mystery in which high-school kids jawed like a Hammett gumshoe. This same dame was totally unimpressed with Johnson's 2008 followup, "The Brothers Bloom," a preciously quirky adventure about lonely boys and sad dads that seemed like a long, tedious Wes Anderson outtake. Then, upon learning that Johnson's next movie involved futuristic time travel, our writer friend was just about crushed. Science fiction? Ugh. She's flummoxed enough by science fact, and to have to dissect what-if scenarios too often results in an automatic fail.
So I don't know if it was the low expectations, or perhaps the weeks of creeping dread, but "Looper" is nothing short of fantastic. Johnson reteams with his "Brick" star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, lately ubiquitous but here nearly unrecognizable — for reasons that will later become clear — with green contact lenses and prosthetics that give him a vaguely aquiline nose and thinned-out top lip. It's the year 2044, and Gordon-Levitt plays a hit man named Joe, whose job it is to off people sent back from 30 years in the future; he waits in a Kansas field, blunderbuss in hand, and blows away the hooded figure that materializes in front of him. Occasionally the future will deliver the gunman's older self, a killing for which he is paid handsomely. This bittersweet assignment is known as "closing the loop."
Joe has seen what can happen when a looper fails to close his loop (that's a manic Paul Dano in an ill-fated cameo), so when Old Joe shows up, Joe takes the shot. But, as played by the green-eyed, aquiline-nosed, thin-lipped Bruce Willis, Old Joe isn't quite ready to die, setting into motion an ultra-violent game of cat and mouse (or: cat and middle-aged cat), where Old Joe's goals go beyond staying alive; he's also out to prevent the rise to power of a crime lord called the Rainmaker, the one who decides to start furiously closing loops circa 2074. And chasing both of them is Joe's boss Abe (the ever-reliable Jeff Daniels, Gordon-Levitt's costar in a nifty flick called "The Lookout"), somehow both pitiless and understanding.
And when Emily Blunt enters the movie, it seems at first like one of those Hollywood-mandated romantic interludes that derails the action. Cast against type, Blunt is Sara, the axe-swinging single mother sheltering an on-the-lam Joe at her remote farm and trying to care for her resentful young son Cid, played by an astonishing Pierce Gagnon, only about 5 years old when the film was shot. (Quvenzhané Wallis, watch your back.) So while Old Joe combs the dangerous, scummy city for the Rainmaker, Joe cools his heels (and battles drug withdrawal) at Sara's retro-looking farm, which seems like it could be out of a Dust Bowl drama but for a few noticeable futuristic touches, much like "Looper" itself: unmistakably neo-noir, right down to world-weary voiceover, despite its sci-fi trappings.
A storyteller must keep a lot of flaming bowling pins in the air if he's gonna throw the plot-taxing conceit of time travel into the mix, and Johnson is mostly successful at either explaining away incongruities or at least distracting you with enough blood-and-guts action so you really don't care about the holes. Johnson even hedges his bets during the excellent diner scene, in which both Joes have a tense parlay about their unique situation. Not only do we appreciate the yeoman job that Gordon-Levitt is doing trying to channel Willis (even replicating the latter's cadence and slight Jersey accent), but Johnson basically suggests that we get over it, as Old Joe admits that time travel is "a fuzzy mechanism."
It might be too soon to declare Gordon-Levitt the best of his generation, but he is probably the most versatile. Playing an essentially bad guy and unable to traffic in his typical twinkly charm, Gordon-Levitt remains riveting, matched well by the eternally underrated Willis, who has always proven strong in these substantial character-actor parts. (Speaking of great character actors, watch for Garret Dillahunt — so good "Deadwood" cast him twice — in a small but pivotal role.) I totally can't wait to see what Johnson does next, and if we're lucky he'll bring Gordon-Levitt with him. As for Willis, he revives my favorite action franchise in early 2013, making Valentine's Day "A Good Day To Die Hard."
