Whoa. Just whoa there. Cool your jets people. It's ok. I am still alive. I know i've dropped off blog-dar for a while but now I am coming directly at you with a massive punnet of information.
Firstly, I had a cracking show last night at Light House Theatre in Poole. Thank-you to everyone that came along. I had a blast! That is all.
Ok, now for some of the info. We have a new ABC Tour video out! It's a good one too. I am going to go as far as saying that I think this one is my favourite. This may be down to the fact that I didn't film it, and I didn't edit it. Filming by Anton Mackman and Dan Edwards, and editing by Courtney Prokopas. Check it out here, and don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel whilst you are at it.
More news? Can you handle it? Ok then. We have another show to announce on the ABC Tour. Here we go. N is for Naturist Resort!!! This is going to be an interesting one.
We have some very exciting news with regards to O, P, Q and R. But I will let you know as soon as I get confirmation.
Next on the ABC Tour is L for Library.
This one is in Bristol and it is going to be a corker! This event is ticketed so you will to book in advance as there is very limited availability.
Book here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/an-evening-with-jon-udry-juggler-comedian-at-bristol-central-library-tickets-43167597446?aff=efbeventtix
The reason this show is ticketed is simply to cover the fee of the staff required to stay behind at the library. We don't get a penny. Which brings me neatly onto my next topic……
Donations! Please donate to the ABC Tour. I am funding this myself, I make no profit. We have done various collections for charity, but we do not earn a penny. We have had some very generous donations from a few people, but we could seriously do with some more. You can donate to the tour at www.jonudry.com/donate. Big thank-you to Void, Jamie, Ben, Emily and Eddie who have all donated so far.
I recently put out a letter suggestions invite for people to suggest some options for Q on the ABC Tour. Here are some of the suggestions and my thoughts on them…
In my opinion, a quarry only looks good from far away. So not visually interesting.
What did I ever do to you? I like this one actually. But the very nature of being in quarantine, would mean that no one would be able to come in! Not a show venue I'm afraid.
Love this one. A possibility
Quiz night
A strong possibility
In a queue
My issue with this one is that you can't see the queue unless you are not in the queue.
Good, but I think we can do better!
Quail Farm
Strong contender.
I had to google it. I'm starting to realise that if I have to google it, it means that most people don't know what it is, therefore it's not a good one. Sorry!
Q is a tough one, but we have some very strong possibilities. I'll keep you posted!
Let's stray from the ABC Tour for now. I have released part 2 of the Monkey Trick Series. IF you don't know what this is, then check out part 1 here
Here is part 2.
I have been reading Luke Wilson's book recently, Tactile. It is fantastic. If you are into juggling, and you have got this already, then you are missing out. Buy it now here http://www.gandinipress.com/product/tactile-by-luke-wilson-pre-order/
That's all for now.

The micro-series, which is a disconnected series of one-shots, highlight the individual characters. This time around Donatello gets the treatment.
For a moment I want to digress a moment and dip into Erik Larsen's interview and the December market numbers. When discussing projects past and furture, Larsen mentioned that retailers stocked non-Savage Dragon titles in drastically less quantities than his main character. This reveals a gun-shy attitude where the retailers don't want to be flooded with unsold books. The comic book shop is a game of numbers. Comparing that rough estimate to IDW's TMNT and it is noteworthy that the micr0-title is only 1,ooo units below the sells of the main title. At the moment the stories have not collided, like the tied together books in G.I. Joe, which makes the similar numbers even more impressive. When retailers have a chance to shy away they are ordering strong.
Still on my numeric digression, pondering the numbers, it is a good time to be a Turtle fan. The foursome is freshly back. Their main title run is still in the single digits. Including the one-shots this title is still in the single digits. It has yet to hit the long run stretch that test fans. G.I. Joe is in its second season and carrying on and on. The Joe/Cobra story is excellent but it tests the long-time buyers determination to keep going. Tying all of the titles together could help equalize the sales numbers, or turn off casual fans, and the lower Cobra numbers seem to suggest that some readers are missing part of the collected story.
It is a good time to be a Turtle fan, with the comics still new, tv show and movie on the way, and new toys coming.
Perhaps that explains the strong numbers.
Another rationale reading of the market numbers is more literary: this is a solid set of books.
Donatello is quickly becoming one of my favorite of the foursome. In the main title he is finally questioning the probability. Donatello is the first of the brotherhood to question their connection to their supposed father. Reincarnation is also setting uneasily with him. Splinter could just be nuts. Donatello has yet to rule out that possibility. I like that about him. They have re-imagined his scientific curiosity into a pursuit of truth.
Donatello has still been a fighter in this series.
His one shot highlights the action.
Flipping, jumping, and discovering.
The micro-series places Donatello in his element online and scientific. Those two realities collide as Donatello slips into the disguise and onto the world above. He finds a new world that he doesn't know but adapts too quickly.
Donatello meets his on-line arch-nemesis.
Donatello also meets up with Baxter Stockman and gains a new appreciation for the complexity of the situation.
One aspect that I wanted to see, but was missing, was more questioning of Splinter. That must be reserved for the main title. Stockman's connection is clear enough in recent weeks within the main title.
As a one-shot this issue did miss character development that I wanted but delivered enough character development to make it fun. Overall this is a solid book, which is what I expected from the IDW comics run.

Over the years, particularly the last 10, I've been ridiculed for my choice in internet browsing appliances (which is what a computer has become for me). It's been implied that I'm uncool or conservative - I've had to explain my choice to workmates, friends, and my kids. But, here's the deal - Steve didn't care. Because he knew better than anyone that eventually a device from Apple would make sense and I would purchase it.
As I look around my house filled with iPods and review my ATT phone bill that now has three iPhones on it, or check my email on my iPad in the morning, or trip over the MacBook that my daughter left on the floor in her room last night, it's pretty obvious that the genius of Steve's vision did indeed enter my sphere. He just focused on his vision and kept creating products that provided solutions for my life. Before I knew it, I was right where he knew I should be.
Don't get me wrong - from my earliest days in the tech business, Steve was my tech hero. So much so that after the birth of my first child in 1988, while job hunting, I didn't think about sending a resume to Apple. I wanted to work for Steve, so tried to get into NeXT. I wasn't successful and went to work for a bank (my job was to help bring down one system and bring in the IBM PC) and eventually dropped out of the workforce for several years while I raised our three kids. A PC has been all right for the contract jobs I've landed in the last 7 years, so I haven't bothered to switch. Yet.
I lost a very good friend to pancreatic cancer several years ago. The time between diagnosis and death was less than three months. As I saw pictures of Steve over the last few years, I couldn't help but feel that he was going to lose his battle soon. When my daughter's text announcing his death came to my iPhone yesterday, guess what I was doing? Waiting in my car for my other daughter to finish up school. And downloading an app.
Thank you Steve, for elegant design, for helping others create, for making my life easier. For caring about the big things. For your vision.

G20 nations are likely recycle old economic growth initiatives to meet a summit target to lift output, a global policy analyst says.
Leaders' summit host Prime Minister Tony Abbott wants the G20 meeting in Brisbane to set a goal to add 2.1 per cent or more over five years.
But Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) political analyst Bessma Momani says don't expect anything new from world leaders when it comes to infrastructure investment, jobs growth and other economic measures.
"I think we are going to see a lot of recycling of old ideas and initiatives even though the IMF and OECD have done a good job in trying to screen it out," she said on Sunday.
"The reality is when these leaders go back to their political capitals they are going to say 'we have committed to x,y,z' and if we dig deep enough there is probably a lot of replication to what they have already committed to.
"I have already seen that from the Canadian government."
CIGI is a Canadian based think tank on international governance.
However, Professor Momani said summit had potential to create peer pressure within the G20 to deliver growth.
"There is a sense of naming and shaming when you come to these organisations and groupings," she said.
"In a sense there is an upmanship, there's a 'I can do better than that.'"
Meanwhile, G20 Research Group co-director Dr John Kirton warned the conflict involving pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine could spark another world financial crisis due to a counterproductive merry-go-round of economic sanctions between Russia and the west.
"You simply can't generate growth in Europe unless you get Russian troops out of Ukraine and get Russia to give back Crimea to Ukraine over the next five years," he said.
"Unless Ukraine is solved the right way, you could get Russia canalising (or channelling) a financial crisis."
Dr Kirton also said tackling climate change would pay a big part in boosting growth.
While climate change isn't on the official G20 agenda, Dr Kirton will be looking for the words "green growth" in the summit's communique due on Sunday afternoon.

Visually impaired residents living in Christchurch during the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes were let down by support agencies, a study has revealed.
Two Massey University professors have completed the report, Disoriented and Immobile: The Experience of People with Visual Impairments During and After the Christchurch, New Zealand 2010 and 2011 Earthquakes, revealing gaps in the response for visually impaired Cantabrians.
Dr Gretchen Good and Dr Suzanne Phibbs researched the experiences of 12 people who highlighted key areas in need of work.
These included communication and technology, support systems, orientation and mobility and personal responsibility.
A key finding of the study noted radio coverage was a vital communication tool for those with a visual impairment.
"The information they were receiving from the news was very general but there was nothing specific, nothing suburb-by-suburb that let them know simple things like which businesses were closed," Dr Phibbs said.
"They also indicated the information they were receiving did more to create fear than give them practical information that would help them day-to-day."
Dr Good said being responsible for ourselves was crucial if you couldn't rely on support agencies.
" ... they could take days to get to you. You have to be prepared yourself and strengthen the relationships you have with your neighbours."
There have been calls to establish a Civil Defence register for those needing special assistance during an emergency but, Dr Good said this may also give people a false sense of complacency.
She said visually impaired people still needed to focus on being prepared as this is what would get them through a disaster.
During the Kaikoura earthquake, there was lack of urgency especially around the tsunami warning, Dr Phibbs said.
"There was ... nothing to say if you have a person with a disability in your home you need to evacuate now since it would take longer to prepare them for evacuation."
She referred to a woman in a wheelchair who, because of liquefaction, couldn't open her door to get outside. The power was down and she was unable to open her garage or access her car.
"She was isolated and sat there listening to all her neighbours leave. She felt sure there was going to be a tsunami and was sitting there thinking she was going to die. None of her neighbours had come to check on her."
The studies' participants also displayed an increased amount of resilience.
"By the time of the second interviews, they had lived through four major earthquakes in the region and had become incredibly resourceful," Dr Phibbs said.
"They got through them mostly on their own or, with very little help and, are great role models for other people with a visual impairment that they can do it too."
Be prepared
Research participants offered the following advice:
• Have a transistor radio and batteries at hand.
• Learn to communicate by text message and keep your cellular phone charged.
• Have at least two people organised to contact you following a disaster.
• Establish good relationships with your neighbours and be a willing contact for others.
• Register with local disability agencies and make sure you update your information regularly.
• Keep shoes under your bed, a flashlight on your door handle and have spare candles available.

Does Sifma's DOL Lawsuit Willfully Ignore its own Regulatory Views?
In the early 1990s, when brokers began marketing themselves as trusted financial advisors rather than salespeople, the question arose: Is the transformation real? If it is, why don't they have the same fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of their customers that applies to all other advisors?
If it's not, why are Finra and the SEC permitting this misrepresentation?
With final adoption of its conflict of interest rule last month, the Department of Labor came down firmly on the side of taking you at your word when you call yourselves Financial Advisors.
Accordingly, the rule imposes a legally enforceable fiduciary duty on the full range of services reasonably relied on by retirement savers as professional investment advice. Moreover, the DOL put its faith in the ability of commission- and fee-based advisors alike to act in the best interests of their customers once freed from an incentive system that too often encourages and rewards advice that is not in the customer's best interests.
In an odd role reversal, the major broker-dealer trade associations – including Sifma, the Financial Services Institute, and the Financial Services Roundtable – have taken the other side of the argument in a lawsuit they filed last week seeking to overturn the DOL rule. According to their complaint, no one in their right mind would believe that brokers are in the business of giving advice and are thus appropriately subject to a fiduciary duty when making investment recommendations to retirement savers.
This is an argument of expediency, designed to advance the position that the DOL has greatly exceeded its authority in defining fiduciary investment advice to include all personalized investment advice, including brokers' sales recommendations. In making their case, the industry trade associations repeatedly imply that the DOL should model its definition on the Investment Advisers Act, which excludes brokers when they provide only "incidental" advice, rather than ERISA's statutory language, which includes no such exclusion.
Their argument is undercut by the fact that Sifma itself has said on more than one occasion that they support a best interest standard for all personalized recommendations to retail investors. Indeed, the complaint reiterates the groups' support for rulemaking by the SEC to impose a uniform fiduciary standard for brokers and investment advisers. In other words, even as they argue for the DOL to exclude brokers' advice from its fiduciary rulemaking, they are advocating rulemaking to eliminate that artificial distinction under the securities laws.
Sifma and its allies would have us believe this is because an SEC rule would impose a uniform standard across all accounts, in contrast to the DOL rule, which applies only to retirement accounts. But this is simply not true. While an SEC rule would cover all securities accounts it would not apply to recommendations of insurance products or of other non-securities investments. As a result, retirement investors could receive different levels of protection not just for different types of accounts but for different types of investment products sold within the same account.
Sifma and its allies know that. And even if they didn't, the time is long past for arguments about which regulator should lead. The DOL has provided a fiduciary regulatory framework that others, including the SEC, can and should follow. Instead of turning back the clock to a time when brokers were mere salespeople, the DOL appropriately holds all "financial advisors" legally accountable for acting like the advisors they claim – and their clients expect them – to be. That's good for retirement savers and good for the professionalism of the industry.

Rahul Dholakia is returning into mainstream film business after a very long time and so is Ram Sampath. But the makers didn't seem satisfied with only Ram being on board, so they called Pritam for help. Pritam has provided his and India's only A&R Jam8, to encourage new talent in music. Under Jam8, Kaushik-Akaash have already delivered few songs in the past. Now the composers under Jam8 have got this grand platform to showcase their talent, and so does Ram Sampath.
Music Label: Zee Music Company
1. Laila Main Laila – Singer: Pawni Pandey; Music: Kalyanji-Anandji (Recreated by Ram Sampath); Lyrics: Indeevar (Additional Lyrics: Javed Akhtar) – With every film, there's a recreated song from any film that is more than ten years old atleast. Very few of those recreations come out to be really enjoyable and this, by Ram Sampath, comes under that. Pawni Pandey's exuberant singing adds an appropriate amount of zest to the track. Although she lands up sounding Alisha Chenoy at many places, she manages to pull the song on her own.
2. Zaalima – Singer: Arijit Singh, Harshdeep Kaur; Music: JAM8; Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya – A song by Pritam's JAM8 which sounds so much like Pritam himself. The style of composition as well as the arrangements are extremely similar. It has Pritam's footprints all over. Sunidhi might be a better choice, considering the low pitched singing. Arijit has already sung few of Pritam's songs that matches the similar style of rhythm and he perfects in this as well. Although this is not one of his best, Amitabh manages to remain stick to the mood and style of the song.
3. Udi Udi Jaye – Singers: Sukhwinder Singh, Bhoomi Trivedi, Karsan Sgathia; Music: Ram Sampath; Lyrics: Javed Akhtar – The Garba-ish rhythm is excellently placed throughout the song, no matter how predictable it sounds, it sets up the mood right there in the beginning. Sukhwinder's surplus rendition of do dil ude is one of the attractive elements of the song. Lyrics gets a bit cliched, particularly in the mukhda. Mandolin is well used and so is the vocal interlude of Karsan. A predictable composition with predictable lyrics but few vocal and musical arrangements make it appreciable.
4. Dhingana – Singer: Mika Singh; Music: Aheer (JAM8); Lyrics: Mayur Puri – So the moment it began, I got reminded of so many songs which have this similar style and feel. One of them was Satakli from Happy New Year. The song belongs to that genre which is fine but it lands up offering nothing new or appealing. Aheer, in that sense, fails to create his own individuality. With Mika and Mayur Puri behind him, he couldn't pull off a great start.
5. Enu Naam Che Raees – Singers: Ram Sampath, Tarannum Malik; Music: Ram Sampath; Lyrics: Ram Sampath, Hiral Brahmbhatt – The song has been made appealing with its percussion and few vocal sounds but that do not help much as it does not have a proper catchy tune that can be followed. When it comes to theme tracks, Ram is excellent, which has already been proven in Talaash and Delhi Belly among many. Here, he gets faded because there is not a single tune able enough to hold attention. Could have been way better.
6. Saanson Ke – Singer: KK; Music: Aheer (JAM8); Lyrics: Manoj Yadav – Aheer who manages to be quite better in his second attempt, creates a romantic number for KK, someone who has been strongly associated with Pritam. KK, with his midas touch, has given this song a much-needed feel which would have not been there otherwise. A nice composition, though Aheer seems to have preferred staying in a safer zone.
7. Ghammar Ghammar – Singer: Roshan Rathod; Music: Ram Sampath; Lyrics: Traditional – A traditional melody that Ram Sampath has creatively produced bringing Roshan Rathod on board who has a perfect voice for handling a song like this. Not much effort has been given in the track it seems, and the controlled effort has worked in favor of the song. Short duration is one such.
The problem with the album is the conflict between Ram Sampath's script rooted songs and JAM8's mainstream melodies.
Worth Listening: Zaalima, Udi Udi Jaye
The Final Verdict: 2.5/5

Expansion teams have it hard. Coming into a league of established teams and trying to carve out a space for yourself is difficult business. There's no denying that. Often comprised of younger, immature players and older journeymen, these squads struggle for a long time before really finding their footing. This year the FFBL's first expansion team "Relieving Myself" fits that mold perfectly. The team has struggled to post a score above 200 points this entire season. But despite this, it's difficult not to be dismayed by this squad's performance.
"Relieving Myself" has seemingly relieved itself from any motivation whatsoever. The best thing for a young team like this is to play with heart, to play against the odds, to perform above and beyond, even when above and beyond will not even be enough. But they haven't done this once. It's unclear who to blame. Obviously someone in the locker room needs to step up to motivate this team, but one can only wonder if this culture is entrenched all the way up to the teams management. Hopefully this team can start posting some strong performances over the next couple weeks and challenge their opponents, but right now it doesn't look that way. After another loss, this one at the hands of Atwells "Green Days Mookie", "Relieving Myself" looks increasingly less inspiring.
But let's speak about the other team in this matchup, "Mookie." Their huge win ties them for first place in the league with Mike Clancy's "Mikey Bombers," who suffered their second loss of the season at the hands of Grant "Greedo" Pitalia's "Benny Bombers." While Clancy's "Bombers" were the talk of the league after their hot 6-0 start, Atwell's squad has showed that a season is much longer than the first couple months. They've now tied the "Bombers" and have shown that a hot start doesn't determine the final standings.
In week 8, "Mookie" also benefited from a major loss for Alex Sniatkowski's "The D-Train," at the hands of "The Credible Hulk," helmed by Will Santonero. It was a huge win for the "Hulk", who needed this win to improve to .500, and an equally huge loss for "The D-Train" if they want to remain in the upper tier of the league. That being said, the "Train" took advantage of their week 9 matchup against "Macs Smelly Socks," owned by Luke Sniatkowski, to continue to be a close third behind the top two juggernauts of the league.
The middle of the pack still remains a mystery to predict. Take for example, Steve Mastros "A-Rods Girlfriends." Their huge week 7 win was followed by a second win the next weekend, putting the team at .500, only to see them lose at the hands of the "the Credible Hulk" in week nine to drop them below .500 again.
On the other hand, "The Benny Bombers" after dropping to 3-4 after week seven have staged two strong weeks, to advance to 5-4. They have tied themselves with "Meat is Murder" who had a tough loss to "Mookie" in week 8. This week they thoroughly dominated "the Golden Sombreros," a team that spent the early part of the season in the middle of the pack, but has recently found itself dropping lower and lower in the standings. There has been some trade talk surrounding some of the "Sombreros" big name pitchers. Its too early in the season to think that the "Sombreros" are selling house. I will be interesting to see where the team goes. Trade talks will bring some excitement to a team that is as unexciting as its name.
- Mikey Bombers (7-2)
- Meat is Murder (5-4)
- Benny Bombers (5-4)
- The Credible Hulk (5-4)
- The Golden Sombreros (3-6)
- Green Day's Mookie (7-2)
- The D-Train (6-3)
- A-Rod's Girlfriends (4-5)
- Mac's Smelly Sox (2-7)
- Relieving Myself (1-8)

In a decision that a plaintiffs' lawyer said "sends a signal to unions that violence and interference with the democratic process . . . will not be tolerated," a federal court jury found Thursday that a Los Angeles-area Teamsters local was partly responsible for assaults on challengers in a 1985 union election.
The Santa Ana federal court jury voted to award $570,000 in damages to nine dissident members of the 15,000-member Local 63 of the Teamsters Wholesale and Retail Food Distribution Union, who were seeking to challenge the entrenched union leadership.
Lawyers for the union local, citing unspecified trial errors, said they will appeal.
Jurors in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge J. Spencer Letts found that the union was responsible for a bloody attack on the dissidents as they attempted to enter a union hall in Montebello on Nov. 2, 1985, to participate in a nominating meeting. Most of the dissidents ended up in the hospital, instead of the union hall.
The dissidents' leader welcomed the jury's action.
"I'm very satisfied with the outcome," said James Bender of Fountain Valley. "But there's nothing that could compensate the people for what they went through that night, particularly those who were most seriously injured."

They had an incredible, magical day with the opulent backdrop of the Hilton in Cincinnati. In love since high school, it was great to see them enjoy every second together and so excited for their future. Big blessings to you both.

Great Idea to set up this market place
Thanks a lot↓
Thank you so much for this!↓
This is an awesome idea…and a great way to expand the HitFilm userverse!
Many thanks from a Hawai'i fan!!↓
This is awesome! I will definitely upload something soon.↓
Totaly awsome – thx for this, I love the idea of sharing. My HF4-Pro shot down when I try to load Atomic Particle FX – what can I do?↓
How do I know what add on packs are needed!? How can some of those work in express if express has no way of getting a particle simulator???↓
Great Job! Thanks to you! Hugs and Kisses!↓
Thanks for this great resource and inspiration! Particular thanks to Triem Visuals and TurtleView whose presets I used in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLDBZ6B1tPM↓
Wow, that's really a great bit of psychedelia! Really bakey/trippy visuals, awesome jam-bandy performance from Shom (the board/recording engineers did a great job)!
Glad you found the slideshow useful! That worked really nicely with the mandala as a 2D background.
So I built that thing way back in Hitfilm Ultimate 2–if you're using Hitfilm 4 or 2017 you can really smooth out the motion by converting the camera keyframes to "Manual" and playing with the Value Graph. Also remember you can change things up by just moving the 3D layers to new positions and then shifting the camera to match.↓
Wow I'm so glad that you found my preset to be helpful 🙂 This is actually a really good way to use it, that I've never thought about. Anyway those are great visuals!↓
a few things from here did not work at all↓
I don't have the ISD PRESETS on my Hitfilm 4 express. What is the solution ?↓
How can I get the audio spectrum?↓
Wow beautiful rain preset is cool, nice, good↓
Nice.. Great work↓
How to learn hit film in Hindi give me some idea's in fast↓
sir how to download doctor strange green shield effect for hit film 3 pro↓
These are all great! One suggestion which is a problem I have run into is there should be something that separates these into Mac and Windows categories as I have been unable to use the presets I want from here because they were made for mac. Unless I am just doing something wrong?↓
The Rune Shield and the Vortex are both downloading as the shield.↓
some feedback on using the Pointer Animations Pre-sets. A couple of improvements that will make it work smoother.
1. Make the Lower Text Mask keyframe fully up to cover the top text, as it stands if you have more than two lines of text it will show the third, moving the position of the box fixes this.
2. Make the Anchor point by default the middle of the circle, that way when you use a POINT as your position and you zero out your Pointer position it will put the circle smack bang on your point X,Y.
Otherwise it works nicely, thanks, saves me a bunch of work. Ill be sure to credit if I use.↓
I forgot my pass word etc. can i re set?↓
How can I download fonts on HitFilm↓
Thank you soooo much for all of this !!! I hope to learn fast on Hitfilm Express 2017 😉↓
I downloaded the energy ball preset, and i can't import it into Hitfilm Pro 2017. I don't know if this will help, but the file extension is .hfcs. Please help me.↓
I cannot anything to load into Hitfilm Express 2017. Is there an issue with the new version of Express?↓
Good job↓
Javert will make hitfilm level equal to the other famous software and hitfilm should proud on Javert↓
I am Using HitFilm Express 2017, i downloaded the project file but the extension hfcs is not supporting in my version, is there any other way i can use the project file.↓
hey buddy,
use xnview to compress your images with high quality and use handbrake to compress your videos with high quality!!↓
can these presets be used in H-F-3-Pro↓
Thank you!…↓
happy new year, dude↓
In your tutorial, you say that we should read the description to know what add-on is required to use the preset. But, you never show where that description is and when you click on the preset on this website, only a play button pops up, and a download button. No description on what add on is needed and when you click on the video to go to youtube to watch it, all your description says is "go to blah blah to download this preset"↓
The News Ticker from Abidal Sarraj opens in Express with the error
HitFilm Express 2017 cannot open News Ticker.hfp becuase it contains timelines which exceed dimension restrictions.↓
Hii bro i want more effect tutorials from hit film pro pls bro↓
It says you are on Demo
how to skip this and render↓
I just dowloaded 3 presets(projects) but i cant open them in hitfilm express. If this help… I downloaded it on my phone then transfered them to my laptop↓
Whenever I download a preset and try to use it, it says "This preset cannot be used. It may have been saved using a newer version of HitFilm.". I am using HitFilm 4 express, and I don't believe any updates have been released recently. Any ideas why the presets won't work?↓
A search tool for the market place would be great !↓
How do I get the presets to light streak-Particles↓
first of all, I apologize for the translation, I used the Google translator, I only speak in Spanish, the question that brings me here is that I would like to share a project that I made with hitfilm express 9, I imagine it would also work for hitfilm pro, since the safe effects that are also available
my project is about the way to create changing fireworks of color, including the trace of their ascension before the explosion, the truth is that it is a very simple project
I have seen that in existing projects are already created, but when downloading and unzipping the rar file, the extension ".xfpr" is not able to open the version hitfilm express 9, my computer does have it related, but the program does not load that extension, for this reason I can not see if it is the same effect that I have created, I would like you to tell me what is the problem for which my download of hitfilm express 9 is not able to open this type of files ".xpfr" , and also in what way I could share my project selflessly with the community, thank you for your patience and I await a response, a greeting from Spain↓
Hi Francisco,
which preset did you download? I tried Fireworks from Ledermarton and it was a ZIP-File with a HFPR-File in it and this can be read from Hitfilm. Are you sure it is xfpr and not hfpr, because the first time in your text you say "xfpr" and the second time you say "xpfr", so what is really the truth and from where did you get a rar-file?
I`d tried to open Neon Sign in hitfilm pro 4 and it said it was made in a newer version… please help me out here.↓
U don´t know how how thankful I am to you for these presets!↓

Artificial lift in North America onshore: evolution, not revolution
August 2017 | Dimitar Kostadinov and Brandon Stackhouse
Like most oilfield services, the artificial lift sector declined sharply during the oil downturn. From 2014 to 2016 new unit sales decreased by nearly 60% while repair and maintenance services decreased by ~25%. Although the market's exposure to an established base of producing wells allowed it to weather the past three years better than services like pressure pumping or contract drilling, the artificial lift sector faces changes to both technological preferences and business model that will determine its future growth. Here we examine the broad challenges affecting the market and how they apply to the three primary lift technologies.
Exhibit 1: North America artificial lift market1
1 Including new unit sales and aftermarket services
Source: McKinsey Energy Insights OFScope – June 2017
The first challenge is an operator mindset that often deprioritizes production phase services like artificial lift. Additional investment in more complex well designs (e.g. deeper wells, longer laterals), higher quality completions equipment, and larger volumes of proppant is viewed as a prudent expense that will increase a well's estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) and boost an operator's profitability. While outfitting a well with premium lift equipment can reduce intervention frequency and moderately increase production rates, the value of increased investment in artificial lift in a highly price-sensitive environment is less clear to operators.
This is reflected in the second challenge, which is the commoditization of artificial lift products. No recent technological advances have created differentiation within the market for the most popular lift methods: sucker-rod pumps (SRPs), gas lift systems, and electric submersible pumps (ESPs). This has encouraged operators to select equipment and services based primarily on price, prompting service companies to focus on developing low-cost offerings and placing sustained pricing pressure on the market. This continued trend has created uncertainty about the long-term recovery of the artificial lift equipment sector.
Taking a closer look at the three most used artificial technologies in NA onshore reveals different histories but similar potential paths forward:
- Gas lift: Although it has been around for decades, gas lift's popularity has only started materially increasing in the last 4-5 years. Several large independent operators, such as Pioneer, have shifted to installing gas lift on new producing wells, taking some of the market share previously held by rod pumps. The low operating costs and increased reliability make gas lift more attractive, despite initial hesitation due to a lack of supporting infrastructure (e.g. gas compression and available gas) and shortage of in basin experience installing the systems. The latter is of particular importance given the inability to optimize the systems once equipment is deployed downhole, a departure from other lift technologies. As a result, we estimate approximately a third of new wells in the Permian are receiving gas lift systems, and the number will likely continue to grow.
From a technological standpoint, the recent improvements to the gas lift system components and compression process have been largely incremental. Traditional OFS players primarily buy manufactured equipment from a handful of third parties and add a service component, such as installation, to complete their gas lift offering. The simplicity of the system is a double-edged sword for service companies; it leads to more sales as operators target cost-efficiencies, but it presents limited opportunities for service companies to improve profitability.
- SRPs: Easily the most recognizable pumping technology in the oil field, SRPs have seen a turbulent last three years. Prior to the oil price crash, industry heavyweights like Schlumberger and GE Oil & Gas (Lufkin) were struggling to manufacture equipment quickly enough to match incoming orders. However, with the new "lower for longer" oil price environment, operators have moved from buying pumpjacks in advance to just-in-time purchases, buying a refurbished model, or opting for a used unit instead. Furthermore, the production ramp-up of 2014 resulted in excess inventory, which has still not been cleared on either the OEM or operator side. Add to that the cost competitive gas lift option and it becomes apparent why SRP prices have crashed and are not showing signs of recovery even in the Permian. However, it has not been all bad news for service companies. OEMs have managed to decrease their costs, mainly by sourcing from countries like China, meaning that they do not necessarily need to go back to peak price levels to achieve similar profitability. Also, SRPs remain the most common terminal lift method, and there are many applications for which they are the preferred lift option (e.g. basins where winter temperatures stay at or below freezing, wells that do not produce enough gas, and wells that do not have access to gas infrastructure).
- ESPs: ESP usage has fluctuated throughout the years with significant declines in 2016. Given its relatively short run life and the high-cost of intervention and replacement, the ESP was the first technology to see a sharp waning in operator interest. The increased availability of E&P quarterly data has also not helped; investors have become less impressed with high 30- or 60-day well production numbers generated through ESP pumping than they are with the broader picture of each operator's performance. Still, recent deals like Halliburton's acquisition of Summit ESP and FET's acquisition of Multilift signal that the largest OFS players believe in the technology and its potential to be an economic alternative to other types of lift going forward.
ESPs have seen some technological developments, and numerous providers are now offering "rigless" ESP systems, as well as in-depth pump diagnostics and optimization. Pump components have also become more durable and able to handle deeper shale environments. The real innovation in the ESP space has been on the business side, however, with several large ESP producers launching a rental offering. In order to make ESPs attractive options, oilfield equipment and service companies are offering ESPs as monthly rentals, with replacement and refurbishment included. This has gained significant traction with some operators in the first half of 2017, and for good reason. Spending $200,000 on a new pump and having to replace it a few months down the line is a risk not many are willing to take in a sub-$50 WTI environment.
While the benefits for operators are clear, there are major questions around this model's long-term sustainability. To be economic, ESP providers need to rent out equipment at a monthly rate that would be close to the equivalent period purchase price. However, current rental prices are at a substantially decreased rate, mostly due to the rental pumps being lower quality than the ones for sale. These economy-offering pumps also have a higher risk of failure, leading to increased replacement costs for the ESP providers and reduced pricing power. This has the potential to give rise to a vicious cycle of increasing costs and decreasing revenues for providers, making change inevitable. Either rental prices will increase towards pricing parity with new purchases or the rental model will be deemed an unsuccessful experiment.
Overall, each lift system's share of the market has slightly shifted over the last few years with seemingly no groundbreaking technological changes foreseeable in the near term. With the chances for making radical technological advances fairly slim, what can an OFS company do to help prices recover and improve sales from its artificial lift segment across the board? In the past few years, large players have worked aggressively to strengthen positions in SRP and ESP, but new shale wells have begun pivoting towards gas lift in favorable basins, which offers the lowest profit pool on a per unit basis. Firms have responded by innovating commercially in ESP to try to claw back share but full-cycle economic sustainability of those new solutions is questionable.
Going forward, industry restructuring is expected to continue as artificial lift players strive for greater profitability amid a welcome but modest recovery in newly completed wells. Yet service providers may need to go further if they are to create additional value for their customers. One possibility is service companies integrating the lift selection method into the operator's broader strategy for asset development, helping to ensure that the right lift method is chosen for each well even if that method is outside the norm for the operator. Currently lift selection is largely driven by the production engineer's familiarity with a product and their personal preference, leading to well/system mismatches. In a low-oil-price environment where realizing efficiency gains across the well lifecycle is essential, engineers can no longer rely on choosing the method that's most familiar and will have to focus on making objective, data-driven choices.

Taking back Sunday.
Sunday. For the first 6 years of our business we were closed on Sunday. As the business grew, so did the demand to be open 7 days a week. It was Super Bowl Sunday 3 years ago that we opened on Sunday and continued to do so every week. At first we thought it was the greatest thing. Wow! Look at us go, open 7 days a week! And then this year it hit us, we were so busy making a living that we had not made a life.
So you may be wondering who the "we" is that I keep mentioning. "We" are the owners of East End Eatery: Mary, Eric, Rachel, and Dave. "We" also happen to be a family, Mary and Eric are fondly known as Mom and Dad, Rachel is the youngest daughter (also the one writing this blog!), and Dave is Rachel's husband. Being that East End is a family owned and operated restaurant, we found our family time was at an all time low. We were lucky if we saw each other on Holidays but other than that, the only quality time we had was at work! This just wasn't going to cut the mustard for the long run. And there you have the decision to close on Sundays.
Sundays were a very busy day for the restaurant, we did not make this very difficult decision because it was not beneficial to the business. We made this decision because we are taking back our Sunday and we encourage all families to do the same. In this day and age our everyday lives are jam packed, always in a hurry, constantly juggling work, school, family, recreation, etc. We have sacrificed a lucrative day of business to be able to spend time together as a family and we can only hope that it inspires you to do the same. There are very few things in life as precious as family.
We truly hope that you understand and respect our decision. The support we have received thus far has been heart warming to say the least. A big huge Thank You to all of our loyal customers, over the years you have become our extended family and without you we wouldn't love coming to work as much as we do!
Warm Autumn Greetings from our Family to yours 🙂
We will still be open for Super Bowl Sunday!

Several Stora Enso units located in Finland have chosen Fujitsu as the provider of IT support services for the next four years.
Stora Enso has previously outsourced IT infrastructure maintenance and development services to Fujitsu at its plants in Kemijärvi, Oulu, Pankakoski, Uimaharju, Varkaus and Veitsiluoto. Fujitsu service has also covered Kymenlaakso plants as well as the head office in Helsinki and the Imatra Havurinne office.
The new agreement is an extension to the previous collaboration between Fujitsu and the above-mentioned Stora Enso units, initially covering some 4,000 workstations. Along with the new agreement Fujitsu's Provia service will provide centralised and integrated management of the IT infrastructure of Stora Enso's units at 11 locations.
The four-year agreement includes workstation- and customer support services; server- and LAN-related management and monitoring services; application support and specialist services, as well as skills development services.
"Concentrating all IT support services and their development to one supplier is part of a wider plan to carry out an overall standardisation of our IT services and information management functions. By streamlining IT processes we seek efficiency and cost-savings. Our experiences with Fujitsu's service team are very positive; the distributed network is available to units around the country – wherever they are needed", says IT Manager Rauno Riekki of Stora Enso's plant in Oulu.
"There's been a lot of discussion in the Finnish media lately on the huge amount of office hours that is wasted on IT-related problems. Many a company is, however, aware of this flaw, and taking measures to improve their IT functions. With inadequate staff IT skills, state-of-the-art technology is far from supporting any organisation's operations, and IT investments go right down the drain", Director Heikki Koskinen of Fujitsu points out.
"One of the major benefits provided by our Provia operating model has for years been the development of end-user IT skills. Based on our experience, with appropriate user training it's possible to reduce the wasted time by 75 per cent", Koskinen sums up.
Stora Enso is an integrated forest products company producing magazine papers, newsprint, fine papers, packaging boards and wood products, areas in which the Group is a global market leader. In 2001 Stora Enso had sales of EUR 13.5 billion and approximately 15 million tonnes of annual paper and board production capacity. The Company employs some 43 000 persons in more than 40 countries and its shares are listed in Helsinki, New York and Stockholm.

We made this Noel for Christmas 2013 and photographed it with a winter wonderland background. If we remember correctly it was a sunny Alberta day but very cold.
Original design by Alee Soderman-Zurcher & James Zurcher with changes by Flory Wilkins
For the past 3 weekends we have had a big dump of snow, with melting and street snow removal in between.
We did manage to put up our Christmas lights on our home and the Colorado Green Spruce tree in our front yard during a few days of much warmer weather after the first 2 weekends of winter storms.
This weekend, November 16 we were once again hit with another winter blast, except this snow storm's snow was lighter, with less moisture, coupled with high winds, whiteout conditions and much colder temperatures. Our winter wonderland is no doubt here to stay till next April 2014.
For those of you from around the world who view our website and Facebook enjoy our outdoor festive tree.

In the last two decades, important knowledge has emerged about the present climate of the earth and its dramatic changes in the past. Indeed, new observations from field experiments, satellites and ocean buoys, together with theoretical calculations and powerful computer models, have helped in understanding complexities of the climate. In light of this complexity, there are several fundamental open questions, and quite surely, new discoveries on the horizon. With increasing demand for more accurate weather and climate forecasts, the prospects for young researchers are bright. The challenges of understanding and prediction of climate are multidisciplinary, we welcome science and engineering graduates to join us in this exciting endeavour.
Based on the expertise of the CAOS faculty, specific areas of study include aerosols and their impact on the climate, atmosphere-ocean-climate modeling, carbon cycle modeling, cloud physics, geophysical fluid dynamics, monsoon variability and prediction, physical-chemical-biological oceanography, spatio-temporal scaling in geophysical data, and tropical convection.
Several univerisities and government organizations such as the Ministry of Earth Science, the Indian Space Research Organization, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research and the Armed Forces require scientists trained in atmospheric and oceanic sciences. Further, as the economy has grown, there has been an increase in industrial applications of weather and climate information. Prominent sectors among these are : the agriculture industry, aviation, energy resources, insurance & financial services, oil & gas exploration and risk management. We expect this demand from the private sector to grow in the coming years.
CAOS alumni have gone on to work and/or study in reputed institutions within India and abroad. This includes ISRO, the National Aerospace Laboratory, IITM-Pune, INCOIS-Hyderabad, CDAC, TCS, TERI, Siemens, Intel and numerous universities and research labs in the US, Japan and the European Union. Details of our alumni placement can be found here.

University of Oregon administration ordered campus operations to remove a large sign Wednesday morning that the Divest UO campaign has kept outside Johnson Hall in recent weeks.
The sign, which said, "Off Fossil Fuels: We call on President [Michael] Schill to urge the UO foundation to divest from fossil fuels," had adorned the administration's lawn for 28 days.
Selena Blick, a member of the Divest UO movement, spoke with campus operations workers as they removed the sign on Wednesday.
"They were clearly just told to do their job," Blick said. "They didn't know what policies we were breaking."
According to Blick, the policies in question had to do with advertising and signs that were propped against structural elements of buildings.
"I think it's pretty clear that the administration just wants the sign gone, and they're trying to find ways to prove that we're not allowed to have it there," she said.
Administration officials disagree.
University spokesperson Tobin Klinger said the removal of the sign was a matter of consistency and practice and had nothing to do with content.
"We routinely remove signs across campus," Klinger said. "The university has a lot of locations where students are able to share their message and we [have] provided ample opportunity for the Divest students' message to be heard."
The sit-in is still taking place in the Johnson Hall lobby and is entering its fifth week. Discussion and debate about whether the UO should take steps to divest from fossil fuels continues.
Divest UO has responded to the removal by reaching out to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education to research its free speech rights in this case.
Klinger, on the other hand, praised the university for creating an environment that fosters discussion and debate about the issues of the day.
"It comes down to the concept of an active protest," Klinger said. "This is not an issue that relates to any kind of specific messaging. It has everything to do with facilities use."

This easy and delicious recipe is one of my favourites - and one of the few I've created from scratch. Testing out chocolate bliss ball recipes wasn't a bad way to pass the time :).
This version doesn't need a protein powder, although you could substitute the hemp seeds and maple syrup for chocolate protein powder if you wish.
1 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw almonds
2 tbsp cocoa
1 tbsp raw cacao nibs
1 tbsp maple syrup
4 tbsp hemp seeds
10 dates
5 tbsp almond or hemp milk
Blend everything together in a food processor. You may need to add more milk, depending on the consistency. Drizzle the milk into the food processor until the mixture starts to clump. Roll into balls and refrigerate before serving. Optional: roll balls in dried coconut, cocoa powder, or ground almonds

The Bass Bar
Where basses go for a drink after a long day in rehearsal.
I'm only halfway through a very long day in the shop.
I apologize for the attempt at a corny joke.
Setting a new bass bar into my Prescott project. I'll post some pictures in the next few days. This here is a picture of a bass bar that I put in an old Czech bass many years ago. That bass ended up sounding great! I'd like to write more about bass bars but that's going to have to happen later. Gotta get back to my project before I lose my light.
More to come!

On my recent appearance on NewsmaxTV, I was asked my opinion about a possible Republican-led government shutdown, and Obama's imminent executive amnesty for illegal immigration order.
I stated that Obama was indeed going to shove amnesty down our throats, as well as saying that any government shutdown would not hurt Republicans.
Remember, the gov't shutdown last year and Republicans were blamed for it.
The GOP still wound up trouncing Democrats in this year's mid-term elections.
Do you agree with my assessment? Tweet this story if you do.

As electrotherapy technology advances and is applied to healthcare and fitness, more and more people are accessing the benefits of this remarkable treatment. There are a number of conditions which subject the subject to intense and/or chronic pain, but the introduction of electrotherapy and TENS therapy in particular has offered unparalleled relief. Previously, subjects might never have considered the possibility of living a pain free life, but new advancements are now offering a realization to that dream.
What Is TENS Therapy And Who Can It Help?
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) is the most widely used type of electrotherapy, but, even so, there is still some mystery surrounding the treatment for those uneducated in its usage. Practically speaking, electrodes connect a battery operated device to the body via sticky patches attached to the skin. Once the device is activated, an electric current is delivered to the area of the body experiencing pain, stimulating sensory nerves.
The patient will feel a tingling sensation, as the treatment is administered and the pain will subside, or go away completely. The therapy is placed entirely in the subject's hands, literally. A handheld remote control device gives the subject complete control over the TENS unit and how the therapy is delivered. The individual may control the intensity of the current from a low frequency to a higher output. Additionally, the remote control also features options for changing the pattern of the current, which adjusts the way the sensory nerves are stimulated.
TENS therapy has been used to help in the relief of a variety of treatments.
Neck and Lower Back Pain – In treating neck stiffness and discomfort, this type of electrotherapy has proven effective in reducing pain for short periods of time. Low back pain has also been treated with TENS, though the effect has been different for different subjects.
Diabetic Nerve Pain – TENS has arguably proven the most effective on these patients, significantly reducing pain for subjects in three different studies. The effects lasted up to six weeks for participants, but had dissipated by the time the test subjects attended a 12-week follow up exam.
Fibromyalgia Pain – While studies are limited, TENS therapy has proven to increase tolerance for patients during physical activity. Considering the potential for fibromyalgia patients, more studies are likely to be forthcoming.
Do I Need A Doctor To Receive TENS Therapy?
Technically, the answer to that question is no, but most subjects are first introduced to the treatment through sessions with a physical therapist or a chiropractor. This is the most recommended first introduction to electrotherapy, because it enables the subject to see just how effective TENS treatments are in the relief of pain and discomfort.
Where the level of relief is significant, the subject can then purchase a unit for home use. As with any new technology, the first TENS models were larger and inconvenient for home use, but that has changed with newer advances and a wider interest in TENS therapy.
Today, there are even smaller, wearable TENS devices that administer the current directly through the battery powered device worn beneath the clothing. The devices can be attached via a strap or band to the knee, arm, or back and can be worn in a way that will make them undetectable to others. These portable devices make it possible to receive treatments without missing work, canceling social engagements, or putting off daily errands.
Depending on the patient's needs, TENS therapy can be done in 30 minute sessions or may run any length of time, even on a continuous cycle throughout the day. Some subjects reported using the unit while sleeping, eliminating the need to wear the TENS device during the day, when it might pose more of a distraction.
The effectiveness of TENS is still largely debated. While some chronic pain sufferers swear by it and make it a prime component of their treatment regiment, others have reported experiencing minimal relief. As the demand for this form of electrotherapy heightens, more studies will reveal the exact circumstances in which TENS therapy works best. In the meantime, accessing treatment through an experienced practitioner will help subjects determine if the therapy is right for them, before investing in a home unit for their own personal use.

*Mayor Cory Booker may doing his best to resurrect Newark, but it looks like he's fighting a losing battle, judging by Brick City, a riveting documentary focusing on the body count and wanton violence in the beleaguered New Jersey metropolis.
The root of the problem is black-on-black crime emanating mostly from the neverending, bloody turf war between the Crips and the Bloods as they wrestle for control of the lucrative drug trade.
The problem is that these youngsters without a functioning conscience don't really wrestle but rather resort to guns to settle their differences. And like the gang that couldn't shoot straight, when attempting to execute drive-bys, their ricocheting and poorly-aimed bullets tend to knock off as many innocent pedestrians and bystanders as intended targets.
The movie devotes a great deal of attention to a budding romance between a Crip and a Blood, as if that's some sort of step forward. However, in my mind, the couple would be a lot better off simply leaving both gangs behind for good, especially since they're expecting a baby. I suppose that's just not going to happen in a 'hood where you have to choose a side to survive, and you better know what color to wear as you pass from block to block.
Watch the trailer for Brick City:
Another theme addressed here is that Mayor Booker is still seen by many as an Ivy League interloper. Consequently, his Police Director, a political appointment from New York City, doesn't seem to have control of his own police force. There are constant rumors that he's resigning, and there's even an attempt to reduce the scope of his powers.
An eye-opening expose' about a godforsaken town long past its glory days and now in need of far more than an image makeover, if it ever wants to be considered livable again.

The Body in the Casket: A Faith Fairchild Mystery (Faith Fairchild Mysteries) by Katherine Hall Page
Reviewed by Vickie Dailey
This is the 24th installment in the Faith Fairchild mystery series. The third of which that I have read and reviewed. It is always a pleasure to read one of the Faith Fairchild mysteries. They are cleverly written and an enjoyable way to pass a couple of hours.
This story was quite intriguing as Faith is hired to cater a birthday party for a retired Broadway producer's 70th birthday party at an exclusive manor house. The invited guests were all involved in the biggest flop the producer had. Faith is not only hired for her culinary skills, but her sleuthing skills as well.
The producer believes one of the guests is trying to kill him. While Faith plans a delicious menu (recipes at back of book) she uses her sleuthing skills via internet as to who would be most likely the killer.
I will tell you that I didn't see it coming. I highly recommend this as a great read.

Sunday, October 26, 2014
When my students asked what I was doing this weekend and I started listing the activities George and I had planned, I realized it sounded like the most American Saturday ever. I guess since we're American and it was Saturday, it's acceptable.
We started off yesterday with a trip to my school's Homecoming football game (at 9am). This is the first year that we've ever had a team, so, needless to say, the kids are…still learning. I witnessed the first touchdown of the season, a touchdown on a kick off return. It was so exciting! Until we realized that we had too many players on the field. Oops!
Next stop was a park for early voting. Lesson learned, don't try to use your cellphone in the voting booth to help you remember all 1000 judges you're not supposed to vote for. Apparently, it's not allowed.
The next stop of the American Saturday was a pumpkin patch so we could wander for 45 minutes through a corn maze, pick out pumpkins, and pet fluffy chickens and baby goats.
When we got home, we put up fall decorations and carved our perfect pumpkins. It was definitely a perfect American Saturday.
And, I learned a few pumpkin carving tricks that made my pumpkin look slightly less like a 7 year old carved it.
- Step 1: Go to Target and buy a pumpkin carving kit. Seriously. You think you can use a kitchen knife, but you're wrong. The tiny saw thing makes all the difference in the world.
- Step 2: Print out the design you want to use.
- Step 3: Wet your design and place it on your pumpkin.
- Step 4: Cover the design with cling wrap.
- Step 5: Carve out your design using the genius tiny saw thing.
- Step 6: Admire your handiwork and wonder why you stubbornly never bought a pumpkin carving kit before.
