Link DUMPOctober 10, 2008
Alrighty…sorry for the late post, but I think I'll make up for it this time. I've got a whopper of a list tonight…tons of stuff I've been discovering over the past two weeks. So I'm not going to intro…here they are:
First off, Studio Daily sent out their newsletter recently, sparking my interest a couple of times, firstly with this free app that helps catalog footage. Excellent for any editor. Next up, also an excitement for editors, is the announcement of RED and Adobe's collaboration to make Premiere a native 2K editor for RED footage. This got me all warm inside…I can't wait to try working on that…:D. Another brief Premiere article I've yet to read but definitely will is how to make old plug-ins work in Premiere Pro 2. Great idea for an article.
Alrighty…since it maybe hasn't come to your attention yet, Adobe announced their Creative Suite 4 (CS4) line recently, and with it new and improved versions of everything. So, to celebrate, here's some Adobe product related links. Starting with tweaking colors in After Effects, followed by some tutorials, some more tutorials, some more tutorials and sample videos, and a new episode of Photoshop for Video on making cast shadows.
Next up, some cool application links. First, VLC got updated; MediaInfo looks like a nice utility for quick file info reference right from within Explorer in Windows; Digital Rebellion has a cool-looking bunch of tools available for free; I discovered Wings 3D, a freeware 3D package (speaking of which, Blender has some awesome sample videos and galleries and tutorials available online, making it a formidable-looking package); SIR1 looks like it might be a cool little audio app to play with for some audio effects on your projects; digilab came up with the wonderful idea of creating a freeware tracking program, which could come in hugely useful during the VFX part of your projects.
Lastly, but certainly not leastly, some resource sites…following with the application trend so far in this post, I found Plugin.com, a database of plugins for all kinds of applications; VFXtalk has a nice resource wiki with a tool resource list; I found this Movie Making Manual on wikibooks.org, which I haven't read yet but I'm always interested in moviemaking manual type stuff; I've been getting back into reading Stu Maschwitz's book The DV Rebel's Guide, (which is awesome), and found his blog and resource forum pretty sweet as well; Maschwitz mentioned Reel Stream in his book, and I had to check it out…look at the rig this guy made! And these anamorphic lens flares (which are pretty cool actually, by the way…I like the stuff about the way they happen in the lens while shooting).
Alright, that's it for this week. I'll try to be a little more on top of getting stuff up here, but I can't make any guarantees. For now, I've not gotten home before midnight once in the past 2-3 weeks, and it'll be the same for the next few months, so until school's out, I can't guarantee perfect punctuality. However, I'll do the best I can with what I have. After all, "when given an opportunity, deliver excellence and never quit" is the dv rebel's/amateur filmmaker's motto, right? Right. Happy filmmaking, and good luck!

Clayton Patterson — ex-teacher, artist, photojournalist, documentarian, as he describes himself — is a man obsessed. His first anthology, "Captured: A Lower East Side Film/Video History," published in 2005, took up 586 pages. His latest anthology, "Resistance: A Radical Social and Political History of the Lower East Side," weighs in at 624 pages.
No matter the volume, an overflowing crowd of 80 filled the tiny visitor center/bookshop at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum Tompkins Square Park.
Those political tendencies sometimes
seem like a distant memory, as luxury developments with
multimillion-dollar penthouses seem to proliferate like
pushcarts once did.
Jay Blotcher, a longtime AIDS activist who in 1989 moved into "a lonely, dark one-bedroom" on Essex Street that he rented for $485 a month, recalled the neighborhood of the late Koch-Dinkins-early Giuliani years.
"It was a magical, absurd time," he said. "Black and Latino poor were mixing it up with upper-middle-class gay people with AIDS — not as opponents, but as allies."
Mr. Blotcher became involved with Act Up (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), Housing Works and other advocacy groups, but it wasn't all serious work. "We would drink and carouse and proselytize and tell war stories," he recalled. "We'd dive into debates about gentrification, assimilation and anarchy, and usually snag a sweetie from a barstool to spend the night with us, because even activists out to save the world get damned lonely. Especially activists."
Al Orensanz, a sociologist and director of the Angel Orensanz Foundation for the Arts, contrasted the postwar political agitation of the neighborhood with the expansive social vision of two earlier activists, Emma Goldman and Dorothy Day. One was born in Germany, the other in Poland, but "what differentiates these two women is that they have a complete understanding and vision, they have a theory, they have another view of the whole society — Things that the revolutionaries of later years didn't have."
The final member of the panel, Michael Rosen, a former sociologist and activist who became a real estate developer for a time, explained the genesis of his famous project: the 130-unit rental apartment building at 250 East Houston Street that opened in 1989. It has long been nicknamed "Red Square" and has an 18-foot sculpture of Lenin on the roof.
The building opened during a slowdown in the real estate market, and "I really needed something that was going to stick in people's minds," Mr. Rosen explained.
The Lower East Side's reputation as a refuge for struggling newcomers, down-and-out artists and nonconformist agitators appears to be fading, perhaps for good. "What we knew here before will never be here again," Mr. Patterson said wistfully. Others were not so pessimistic. Mr. Rosen described local efforts to promote zoning restrictions that would prevent high-rise development in the area.
"Changing the zoning is not just a matter of how high a building goes, but it's also a matter of remembering our history, being able to see our history, and beyond that, being able to protect our communities," he said.

Gill was lucky enough to go on both of the tours at our Longstock event yesterday and here are some of her words and pictures to give you another taste of the day.
A fabulous tour of the Leckford Estate, owned by Waitrose, was conducted on a lively and informative tractor tour. The estate in the Test Valley covers some 4000 acres, with 11 miles of fishing along the chalk trout river.
The tour passed the mushroom farm producing chestnut mushrooms, where the compost is prized by gardeners, the orchards, the arable crops, the dairy and the new vineyard.
One of the resident barn owls was unfortunately not in residence as our tour passed the barn! The estate champions aims of producing new ways of farming to provide quality food, but also works in harmony with the environment.
During the tour the relationship between customer demand, the producer and the retailer was put in perspective. But what farmers, and gardeners alike are waiting for is some warm weather!!

Vision To Learn launched in the Aloha State in August 2015, with an event at Kalihi Waena Elementary School in Honolulu. Governor David Ige and Mayor Kirk Caldwell spoke at the event, which was emcee'd by former Hawaiʻi State Teachers Association President Wil Okabe. Vision To Learn collaborates throughout the state with Project Vision Hawaiʻi, a nonprofit which provides vision screenings at schools.
Vision To Learn's work in Oahu is supported by First Hawaiʻian Bank Foundation, Hawaiʻi Pizza Hut Literacy Fund, and the Pion Family. In Fall 2017, Vision To Learn will begin serving schools throughout the Windward Coast with a generous grant from the Harold K.L. Castle Foundation.
An estimated 15,000 students in Hawaiʻi need glasses.
Big Island
Vision To Learn's first visits on the Big Island happened in April 2017, supported by grants from Hawaiʻi Medical Service Association and Hawaiʻi Lions Foundation. In collaboration with Project Vision Hawaiʻi, Vision To Learn serves schools in low income areas of the island. This project demonstrates the ability of Vision To Learn to serve students throughout the State of Hawaiʻi, and sets the stage for a larger expansion of services.
In September 2016, Vision To Learn worked with Project Vision Hawaiʻi on a project serving students in Kauai. After initial screenings, Vision To Learn examined 99 children and provided 56 pairs of glasses. Kauai County Mayor Bernard Carvalho assisted with distribution of glasses at Kekaha Elementary School.
The project was made possible in part by funding from Kaiser Permanente Hawaii and Saltchuk Hawaii.

New Website! [under construction]
Well, they say up this end of the continent, there are two seasons: winter and construction. I'm not sure if websites have seasons, but mine is still evolving, thanks to the efforts of the beautiful and talented Holly Dean. The old one is gone, and sometime soon the new one will be a hub for this blog, social media, sign-up page for infrequent e-newsletters and a place to buy books and prints. What marvelous modern times we do live in!

All of a sudden, out of nowhere, like a lightening bolt out of the blue, I couldn't read certain news sites anymore since they had been "blocked by the EU."
This literally happened over-night.
I took some screenshots of it, since I was planning to write about how the European territory is becoming increasingly like some "Soviet-spin-off."
It is an interesting thing to experience since nobody really refers to themselves as "European" nor do anyone refer to their own territory as part of "Europe."
"This is the U.K., Europe equals everyone else."
"This is Scandinavia, Europe (again) equals everyone else."
Yet the E.U. has the power to decide what ought to be accessed and read by everyone who lives under their jurisdiction, which certainly raises the question of national sovereignty….
It is also of interest since we learn about the Soviet Union in school and how horrible it was that "people were spied on," that there was "limited freedom of speech," that "information was being controlled," etc;
In our "Western territories" we have "freedom of speech" as one of our "golden values," which is of interest when considering that there are other territories on this planet who have no freedom of speech at all officially, which sounds horrid, but at least give people clearer guide-lines. Maybe "freedom of speech" is an illusion to crack down on dissenters? It can certainly be used that way I'm sure … you think you have freedom of speech, but oooops, apparently you do not.
In the same spirit I was going to write about the social media site GAB, that was all of a sudden shut down and mysteriously removed. Just like the E.U. censorship, that too happened remarkably quickly. The reason given was that the Synagogue-shooter over in the U.S.A. had a profile on their site. For some strange unexplainable reason though, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube still stand, despite being linked to Islamic terrorists, drug cartels, ethnic cleansing and major data leaks. The list of extremist (and unethical) behaviour goes on, which naturally will make one wonder: what sort of extremism is considered less extreme or more acceptable than others? A good question indeed….
I myself, have been trying to watch some of Donald J. Trump's rally speeches via YouTube, but whenever I've tried to check out what he is actually doing and saying at his events, "the spinning wheel of doom" appears out of nowhere and I'm literally prevented from watching. If I manage to stream a speech, it doesn't take long before everything "hangs" which means that I have to refresh my window indefinitely, since the problem doesn't go away … mysteriously enough….
Yesterday I finally managed to watch my first rally, courtesy of my mother.
The energy level and the optimism could be felt all the way from America. It was a patriotic, enthusiastic speech that energised the huge crowd present.
There was nothing divisive, nothing hateful, nothing loathsome.
Since I've lived in the U.S. on several occasions I've seen for myself the derelict state of their country, it makes me happy to see that there is an effort in place to get America back on its feet. We need the same drive and optimism over here in "Europe" for sure; a country that looses faith in itself is a country that will cease to exist.

Briton Alison Chester came to Bali on holiday in 1982 and three years later returned to the island, this time meeting her future husband, Riyanto Samadi, whom she married in 1987. After settling down here, Alison started a fabric-manufacturing business at the beginning of a new life that would take on surprising directions, including running an orphanage in Bali and building kindergartens in earthquake-devastated Central Java. The 55-year-old mother of two girls – both now married, to Westerners, and living in Bali – shared her day with The Bali Times. The birds are chirping in the trees when I wake at 5:30 in the morning. I like to get up early rather then lying in bed doing nothing. With my head already full of plans for the day, I do some gentle stretching exercises before having a shower and a cup of coffee Yanto, my wonderful husband, has made for me. I feel really lucky to have a husband like him. It's great living in Canggu (North Kuta) because the air is so fresh and that's why I love the early mornings.
Yanto and I talk for a while about things, about the orphanage and what it needs and other things, like our fabric business. We have 60 staff now and Yanto's sister manages it because I can't be there every day. I'll do some emailing before heading to the office.
The first Bali bombings (October 12, 2002) changed my life. I found out at 4am the next morning and one of my daughters said I should go down to Sanglah Hospital and help out. I phoned BIMC (Bali International Medical Centre) and was told to go down, and that's what I did.
One of the victims I met there was Jodie O'Shea; she was from Australia. I took care of her in hospital until she was transferred to Australia for more intensive medical treatment because she was suffering from about 80-percent burns, and, I later found out, internal injuries. She was the most amazing human being. One night a nurse came in with a painkiller for her – there had been a shortage of painkillers up to then – and Jodie said to give it to someone else, someone more needy.
We talked and talked about everything: about her life; her family, and how she was especially close to her mother; her dog-grooming business – I've got dogs so we talked a lot about that. We didn't really discuss the bombing, because she was in such a bad state that I don't think she really realized what had happened to her.
Two days after Jodie left, my cellphone rang and I was told she had died. I just cried and cried. I still find it hard to talk about her. There were three people in her ward at Sanglah and all of them died.
Jodie's parents sent me her earrings and asked me to keep them. Friends of mine sent me money, asking me to do anything I could with it, and at first Yanto and I tried to give some cash to the bombing victims, but they already had so much from other people. It was around then that I came up with the idea of helping orphans. We helped some in Denpasar first and in 2003 set up our own place – the Jodie O'Shea Orphanage.
Jodie's parents were very happy to hear about what we had done and sent funds from their friends and relatives. Right now we have a total of 21 children, from 8 to 19 years of age. They're not exactly orphans because they have at least one parent, but they're from families that are so terribly, terribly poor that they cannot look after them. They've become our family, and we're very emotionally close to them, especially Yanto.
All the children go to school, and some to university. Each has their own sponsor, who supports them financially and who get progress reports from me. Sometimes the sponsors come to the orphanage and take their child out for a while.
Most of the children are from the island of Sumba; only a few are from Bali. Conditions in Sumba are not so good compared to here and that's why we decided to focus on kids from there.
Often my days are so busy I don't have time to stop for lunch, but I love what I do so I don't mind. In the last few months, in conjunction with Manusia untuk Masyarakat (People for the Community) and generous donors, we've started building four kindergartens in Bantul in Yogyakarta, where Yanto was born, and we're going to build more. The Czech model Petra Nemcova is involved in the project and has contributed funds. She was at the opening of the first completed kindergarten.
I don't mind if I'm stuck in a traffic jam or bouncing around the potholed small roads as I head home around 5pm – the magnificent views of the ricefields more than make up for any discomfort.
After a quick check of emails, Yanto and I sit down for dinner – I love everything except for shellfish but my favorite is Indian. Just before turning in for the night around 10, I'll do some more emailing – writing to friends and potential sponsors who want to help.Filed under: One Day

I came across the following error message recently whilst troubleshooting an SCCM Distribution Point;
There was an error while performing this operation.
Filename: ?C:inetpubwwwrootweb.config
Line number: <LineNumber>
Error: Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type '<XXX>' with unique key attribute '<YYY>' set to '<ZZZ>'.
Client's were downloading packages via SMB rather than over HTTP which prompted me to check if WebDAV had been configured… upon clicking on the WebDAV feature configuration page the error appeared.
Turns out this was quite a simple fix – WebDAV had been configured at the Server Level, rather than at the Site level which a) resulted in this error and b) seemingly broke WebDAV and was the cause of the issue with the DP. Simply delete the configuration at the Server Level, and set your configuration at the site level.

Is there such a thing as learner's block? If there is, I feel like my family has a very bad case of it right now. Maybe it's the cold weather/snow we've had recently that's kept us cooped up in the house (we live in a 900 sq ft apartment, being in the house for consecutive days is enough to drive anyone crazy). Maybe it's that Sponge has been sick. Maybe it's that Aaron has been spending a lot of time doing school work to gear up for finals. Maybe it's because we've been swamped with apartment complex business. Or maybe it's some combination of all of the above. I don't know. But we're stuck.
Scientist and Sponge are still really young, so we don't have a "curriculum" that we follow with them. But we do try to include learning into our everyday routine. Reading stories together tops our list of most popular educational activities; at least until recently. And maybe this is what's frustrating me the most, and why I feel like we aren't getting anywhere. Scientist has decided to assert his two year old independence and now insists that HE be the one to read when we do stories. He wants to read, fantastic! Only one problem…he can't. Which results in the three of us sitting somewhere, with Scientist holding the book turning random pages in any order, and me trying frantically to remember the story, even though I can't see the page to read it, and all of us getting frustrated, bored, or both within minutes and story time coming to an abrupt halt. We're having similar experiences with coloring, play dough, and singing songs.
My more optimistic self tells me that this is just a cycle. That at some point things will pick up again, or something new will come along. While I "wait it out", I'm keeping my eyes open for new activities, or a twist on some of our old activities. Something. Any ideas?

- Bea Binene wows netizens with her beach body in these photos
- The actress said that it was only one of the rare occasions she'd dare wear a two-piece
- However, fans were delighted that Bea is slowly being confident with her figure
After having several layers of clothing piled on her when she flew to Seoul a couple of weeks back, Bea Binene is ready to shed most of it when she hit the beach recently.
The actress bid a temporary good bye to her coats, scarfs, and leather jacket when she came back to the country given its merciless heat.

Nonetheless, Bea knows how to slay just the same without the pile of clothes sitting on top of her skin. In fact, she got rid nearly all of it and had only at least 2 pieces left.
And that was the reason why this Kapuso actress became the talk of the town – nobody expected her to sport a two-piece even though it was the season for it!
READ ALSO: Carmina and Cassy in swimsuits captivate netizens
Of course, KAMI is not complaining. Bea has all the reasons to showcase her beach body with still her conservative personality intact. Pretty hard to pull off, but with this lady, nothing is impossible!
Bea went ahead and poked fun on her photo by saying that situations like this are only rare and that she's still on her way to achieving that body she's been eyeing. She even joked by saying that her abs got stuck in traffic!
READ ALSO: Sue Ramirez flies to Japan just in time for the Sakura season
However, netizens and fans alike paid no heed to Bea being conscious of her body since majority of the web users were delighted that she is finally being more confident in her own skin.
A string of 'dalaga ka na' comments were spotted on her posts, while there were a lot of encouragement regarding her keeping fit and healthy.

The relativisation of abuse...
Child abuse is a very difficult topic to discuss because there is so much contention over what constitutes abuse these days. Apparently, breastfeeding a child past twelve months of age is often considered a form of child abuse, as is allowing a child to become overweight, but smacking a child as a disciplinary method is often not considered child abuse.
A couple of months ago Pink rocked a few boats by saying she believed children needed to be thrashed. Her own father apparently put her through a wall once, and not only does she feel she deserved this but she would do this to her own (as yet unborn) child if that child was bad. I was kind of surprised to find a lot of people agreed with her.
A cousin of mine put the following in her status update (I'm translating this loosely from Icelandic), "A small child ran up to his mother and exclaimed, "Mummy, I wrote a note for you on your new sheets with a crayon!", the mother flew into a rage and slapped her child so hard he fell to the ground unconscious. By the time she realised what she had done, his little heart had stop. Crying, she stumbled into her bedroom to find the following written on her sheets, "Mummy, I love you!"
The point of this status update was to remind us all how innocent children are, even when they're being "naughty". That story - even though fiction (I hope!) - haunted me for days!
Then, last week, the following you tube video made the rounds on facebook... WARNING! While this video doesn't contain smacking or swearing, I found it to be extremely disturbing (so much so, I've only ever watched it once, and that made me cry), but I'm posting it for people who might want to see for themselves.
This video disturbed me so much because this mother wasn't smacking her child, but she was still abusing him, physically and psychologically. I googled to see if anyone had discussed this video and it seemed plenty of people had but most people just wanted to say how this little boy was a "pussy" and didn't know "how good he has it:", compared to themselves when they were children...
Many people reported having been smacked, beaten with belts or other implements, burned with cigarettes and so on. They had no compassion for this child and felt more children should be physically deterred from "bad behaviour" such as lying and generally being "naughty"...
This morning, yet another discussion about the discipline of children was pointed out to me. Apparently, a mother of three has self-published a book about going back to traditional parenting, including smacking as a first resort.
I don't doubt for a minute this woman was smacked as a child.
The thing about physically and psychologically harming your child, even in "their best interest" is that even if they grow into a polite, socially acceptable person. Even if they don't turn into animal maming psychopaths, is that you diminish their capacity for empathy. The proof is in all the people who were smack, or beaten, or had Tabasco put on their tongue for lying, or were in some other way physically and psychologically threatened into behaving in the way that pleased their parents, or teachers, or other "elders", and then, decades later are incapable of connecting with the panicked screams of a 7 year old child who is confused, afraid, and in physical pain. Who says, "That NOTHING compared to what I had to endure, and I'm okay!".
Abuse isn't relative. Abuse is abuse. Your abuse cannot diminish or be diminished by, someone else's abuse. The need to diminish someone else's experience of abuse is, in itself, the evidence that YOU ARE NOT OKAY! If you believe for a second that just because you survived being smacked, it's okay to smack your child, you are not okay, and neither will your child be.
The inability to empathise is the strongest evidence that physical and psychological abuse impacts negatively on human beings.

Yeah, her religion is irrelevant and all part of sensationalising of the video (when really, it doesn't need it, the abuse itself is sensational enough). I find it particularly upsetting that this child was adopted, from Russia, apparently. So, the mother claims he has attachment issues because he was neglected as an infant, and therefore he is a very trying child - and THIS is her best planning for dealing with is pre-existing abuse symptoms???

Sif, you have said it much better than I ever could. That video is horrific, how cold anyone inflict that much distress and pain on their child, or any child, is beyond my comprehension.

A Promise Made is available now!
Even though my short story A Promise Ignited is in The Alphas of Sin anthology with a plethora of talented authors, this is only my second release and the nerves are still ever present. I keep asking if it gets easier, but many tell me it never does. It's not for me trying though. I've told myself to keep cool about things, but it's still scary.
The first book, A Promise Kept, (on sale right now for .99 cents…whaaaa?) was well received – despite the few flaws I now look back and cringe over. People loved Marla and Josh in that novel and asked for their story. This is it. The expectations may be high, or they may think this wasn't what they wanted, but this is how the characters spoke to me. I only hope others enjoy it the way I enjoyed figuring out their lives.
Marla Sullivan is a woman who knows how to take care of herself. She's independent and has gotten used to being alone. The idea of relinquishing control to a man like Josh McKenzie is something she's not willing to do with ease. Josh McKenzie is more of a gentle giant. He knows his power, knows what he wants, and is an alpha with heart. Neither of them is what they seem to be. That's what I love exploring in these characters. You see them one way, but peeling layers, you find them different than what they seem.
Acknowledgements have to be one of the hardest parts of writing a book because once its been done there are so many you've forgotten or so many others that helped out in the process long after the book has been written. Once again, on this writing journey, I couldn't have done it without the help of my family and friends. And by friends, I mean the whole spectrum of them. From my awesome beta readers, to my amazing group of girls in Anissa's Aces, and the readers, bloggers, my editor, cover artist, formatter, and authors… everyone has been so supportive and amazing. It's so hard when I have to ask for help. That's probably the roughest part of this author business for me. I'm not good at asking people for things, but the ones who have offered, who have helped, all my gratitude and thanks go out to each and every single one of you.
And since it's November, I will go and try out NaNoWriMo – where writers try to come up with 50K worth of story in the month of November. Not sure I can necessarily do that with Zach's story. He's complex, and writing his story will definitely be a challenge for me. But I'll give it my all, put my heart into it, and produce Zach's story. You see, you all deserve the best I can give, and I hope to earn your trust enough that you'll expect me to do that for you with each book.
Thank you to everyone who purchased, read and reviewed. It means the world to me.

Having a hoot . . . Chavez crafts designs by hand; (above) his suckling pig cake. Photo: Domino Postiglione For Christopher Chavez there's a fine art to designing cakes. He regards the dense mud cake on the kitchen bench as his canvas, the ganache and edible paints as his palette. ''Cakes are not just cakes any more -- they're more of a masterpiece and that's what people expect,'' says Chavez, who runs Cake Occasions, a bespoke cake design business. From his studio in Paddington, Chavez carves, sculpts and paints to create replica and sometimes life- sized novelty cakes that look too good to cut and eat. Among his collection are a three- metre-long Qantas 737 model aircraft for a pilot's retirement, a roast suckling pig for a Lady Gaga- themed party, ski boots and a one- metre-high Transformer for his son's fourth birthday, which took two days to make. ''He destroyed it in two minutes,'' Chavez says. Chavez thrives on the challenges each new commission brings -- including requests from his three sons -- and has had some bizarre assignments, such as a dungeon with a woman tethered to a pole for a dominatrix's 40th birthday, replete with whip marks and chain bikini. He outsources the baking of the cakes to a pastry chef, then spends hours -- up to two days -- designing and painstakingly decorating them. ''I do everything by hand,'' he says. ''I love doing cars because they're so technical and detailed.'' Chavez is among a niche group of Australian cake sculptors creating a buzz worldwide for their adventurous designs and strong skills. ''We're at the forefront when it comes to sophisticated cake designs and we're getting a lot of overseas chefs coming here, wanting to hone their skills,'' Chavez says. ''I think Australians are very innovative and unencumbered by traditionalism. ''We're not bound by the rules and we come up with our own way of creating designs.'' Chavez has clocked up more than two decades in the industry and remembers helping his Filipino- born parents bake and decorate cakes before school for the family's bakery in western Sydney. ''Typically, a birthday cake would be covered in lots of butter cream and you'd put a daggy plastic 'Happy Birthday' sign on top and then pipe the name on it,'' he says. Despite his reluctance for the before-school chores, Chavez found he had a flair for calligraphy and his passion for art and baking led him to work at the highly respected Sweet Art and Planet Cake. He branched out on his own in 2006 to open Cake Occasions but has started teaching at Planet Cake to amateurs and chefs on both the basics and more complex structures, such as cars. Students are taught how to hand- carve slabs of cake into shapes, rather than the traditional method of using moulds. Chavez then uses ganache to sculpt, icing to glue and edible paint for detail and markings. ''Even though you have stencilling tools, I still tend to do everything by hand,'' he says. ''For me, that's the art.'' As for the most important quality he possesses, Chavez is quick to answer: ''Patience.''

We celebrated Demi Lovato's very first NYLON cover the only way we know how: with a major party.
Last night we did just that. Alongside NYLON's Editor-in-Chief Marvin Scott Jarrett and Publisher Jaclynn Jarrett, Lovato was joined by friends like Joe Jonas (who himself is featured in the latest issue of NYLON Guys), Kat Graham, and more. During the event, guests enjoyed playing games using the brand new Xbox One console while snacking on McDonald's Premium McWraps, Quarter Pounders, and famous French fries.
Needless to say, it was an awesome time. But don't take our word for it--check out all of our party pics in the gallery!

LOL: Here's How Twitter Reacted To Cristiano Ronaldo's Hideous Bronze Statue
How Twitter Reacted To Cristiano Ronaldo's Hideous Bronze Statue
If you follow Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, then you already know that he is vain. The Portugal soccer star was recently honored at Aeroporto da Madeira in Portugal after an airport was officially renamed "Aeroporto Internacional da Madeira, Cristiano Ronaldo". To celebrate this, a new Cristiano Ronaldo statue was unveiled. Sadly for the footballer who loves to look like a pretty boy all the time, the statue doesn't look like him. Well, here's how Twitter reacted to Cristiano Ronaldo's hideous bronze statue.

Freedom of Speech, The Constitution. and Left Wing Liberalism!
Another deep thought from yours truly, Political Correctness, and Revisionist Liberalism is destroying this country. A great Chinese American Born actor, once said, "I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine." Bruce Lee, an American Citizen at the age of 18, utter those words, and I really take them at face value as an American Citizen. We enjoy the right to express our views wether you agree or disagree with them. We have that Right Of Freedom of Speech because it's in grained in our constitution, It's a right we all must cherish and protect for generations to come. Our constitution is what makes America Great! So, set aside for a moment political parties, and really take a serious look at that finely crafted document. It's really not what the liberal left portrays it to be, an old and antiquated document. Liberal pundits have voiced their discontent for years over the 2nd amendment to the constitution. They say such erroneous things like the founding fathers only put the right to bear arms in the constitution to form militias. Some others say, the founding fathers inserted the right to bear arms so we could have the right to hunt for food, and still other liberals say, it's ludicrous for us to believe that the right to bear arms was inserted into the constitution so every american could protect family and property. The recent school shootings have galvanized the liberal lefts attempts to take away or seriously restrict our rights to bear arms. For all the liberals out there I would like to offer this up for consideration, How many School Shootings do you remember when we had prayers in schools. The youth of today lack a moral compass, and unfortunately we reap what we sow as a society. So I submit to you that liberalism has unquestionably perpetrated this cancer on our young. Here my friends is a true fact, NO FAKE NEWS from me, nowhere in the constitution does it state you have the right to bear arms with certain restrictions and limitations. We unfortunately, have let politicians stomp all over our rights, and we need to let them all know in no uncertain terms that the erosion of our rights is over. This is our country and the politicians work for us, not the special interest or the liberal media. Every time we go to the polls we need to drive that point home, so they hear us loud and clear. WE THE PEOPLE own and pay to run this country, you work for us we don't work for you! So show your support and drive those self-centered politicians out of office. We need to do our part to drain that swamp. Because unfortunately, There is just too much shit in that swamp for one man to handle! Let's join together and take this great country back!

Which Toothbrush Is Right For Me: Electric or Manual?
When choosing between an electric toothbrush and a manual toothbrush there are certain factors to keep in mind. Both toothbrushes will do the job of cleaning your teeth, fighting plaque, removing bacteria and wiping bacteria off the gums. However, when it comes to efficiency and quality versus price and availability your decision may be a bit more difficult. In this article we will examine the two types of toothbrushes and the pros and cons of each.
Toothbrushes have been around since the early part of the 20th century. Those nylon bristles have not evolved much through the years, keeping the same general plastic handle and only really changing the length and position of the bristles themselves. It wasn't until the latter part of the 1980's and early 1990's did the electric toothbrush start to gain steam. They became a nice alternative to the manual toothbrush. But is the ease of use of the electric toothbrush the only reason for its popularity?
Pros of the Electric Toothbrush:
1) Ease of Use
Using an electric toothbrush allows the user to do less and clean better. The pulsating bristles allow the toothbrush to gently and efficiently scrub away plaque without the user over scrubbing and potentially harming your gums.
2) Timer
Most electric toothbrushes have the ability to set a timer, allowing the user to start and stop the rotating bristles for a certain amount of time. The recommended time dentists agree on to brush your teeth is 2 minutes.
Cons of Electic Toothbrush:
1) Cost
The cost of an electric toothbrush will range from about $30 - $150. A manual toothbrush will cost between $2 and $10.
2) Charging or battery operated only
Because the toothbrush runs on electricity, the toothbrush must be charged or run on battery. An outlet will be necessary and if its battery operated you will have to spend money on batteries.
3) Durability
If you drop your electric toothbrush you may break it!
A manual toothbrush may be right for you if you are less concerned about practicality. Lets examine some of the benefits and disadvantages of a manual toothbrush.
1) Inexpensive
Manual toothbrushes are cheap to buy and often given away for free when visiting the dentist.
2) Practical
No need to charge or change batteries. Easy to travel with or carry with you wherever you go.
3) Less stringent on gums
Sometimes the pulsating and revolving bristles from an electric toothbrush may be too much for your gums. With a manual toothbrush you control the pressure applied to you gums.
1) May not brush teeth correctly
When using a manual toothbrush you may not be as effective nor as accurate as when using an electric toothbrush. You will have to really do your homework on proper brushing technique.
2) Timing
Many electronic toothbrushes have a two minute time that starts and stops. Two minutes is the recommended time for brushing. With a manual you will have to use your judgment.
It will be up to you to decide which toothbrush is best for you. The important thing is to make sure to brush your teeth and keep up your dental hygiene. Either will accomplish that goal!
What To Do If You Have A Cracked Tooth
Although our teeth are durable, there may be instances that cause a tooth or many teeth to become cracked. Having a cracked tooth is in most cases curable, but still an annoyance to deal with. With proper care and a good dentist, you can have your smile back to its best.
First lets examine the most common ways that someone can crack a tooth. Cracking your tooth can occur in a variety of ways. Sometimes, if we are not careful, a tooth may crack from biting into hard foods such as candy, certain types of nuts, frozen foods or maybe an ice cube. Excessive grinding of the teeth or pressure when clenching your teeth may cause a cracked tooth. Finally, if you have had a filling, or some other type of reconstruction on your teeth, the overall wear and tear of these fillings can result in a crack.
Some people may not be able to determine that their tooth or teeth are cracked. There are signs to watch out for which include: a quick and sharp pain that results when you bite, pain when you eat or drink, periodic and sporadic pain throughout the day. If you think that your tooth may be cracked it is a good idea to visit your dentist. Your dentist will often times perform an x-ray which in most cases will show the crack. But, believe it or not, x-rays may not always be able to show if a tooth is cracked. Beyond performing the x-ray, your dentist will perform a full examination of your mouth and help determine if your tooth or teeth are cracked.
If your dentist determines that you do in fact have a cracked tooth he may recommend treatment. Treating the cracked tooth varies based on the area and the size of the crack along with they type of pain and other symptoms you experience. Here are the most common treatments:
1) Fill the cracked tooth. You may opt to fill the crack with porcelain, composite resin, or silver amalgam.
2) Perform a root canal if the crack has reached the pulp. The pulp is the soft tissue that contain the blood vessels and nerves.
3) Removing the tooth. If the dentist deems the crack to be too large and already infecting other areas then removal may be best.
4) Crowning the tooth to protect it from further injury. A tooth may be crowned with stainless steel, gold, porcelain, resin or ceramic.
5) Do nothing if the dentist determines the crack is too tiny. Tiny cracks that are not noticeable should probably be left alone as they are more common than you may think!
As with anything else, proper dental hygiene as well as education and regular trips to the dentist will help to prevent future cracks from occurring. However, if it does occur, make sure not to delay for fear that the crack may grow larger and more painful. Your dentist will most certainly be able to get you back to form.
How And Why You Should Whiten Your Teeth
When we smile we project a strong, positive vibe that can impact the people around you. That's why having a bright, white smile should be an important part of your dental hygiene. A brighter smile casts the impression of vitality, warmth, and good health. Your smile can also help in your career, in your social life, and in your relationships. Being confident in your smile should be a priority and one way to do so is by having radiant, white teeth.
Over years of extended use your teeth will start to become discolored and turn from white to shades of yellow or grey. Foods and liquids such as coffee and tea can discolor your teeth. Extended tobacco use from smoking or chewing can cause discoloration. Certain medications as well as genetics can also cause tooth discoloration. Finally, not having good oral hygiene, such as normal brushing and flossing of your teeth, can lead to tooth discoloration
Curing tooth discoloration and whitening your teeth can be accomplished both naturally and with the help of a dental professional. First lets examine how to naturally whiten your teeth. By the act of eating certain foods you can naturally whiten and strengthen your teeth. Eating healthy and crunchy foods such as apples, pears, carrots and celery, you may naturally be scrubbing your teeth. The acidity in those foods also helps to remove stains. The crunchier the food you eat the better it will be to scrub your teeth. Strawberries also can help with discoloration due to the high levels of Malic acid, which can remove stains on teeth. These foods will lose their potency if juiced so be sure to eat them whole. The way you consume food can help prevent discoloration as well. If you drink colas, wines, or colored drinks be sure to do so with a straw. Rinsing with baking soda can also help clean and whiten your teeth. Finally, brushing your teeth is probably the best and most efficient way to naturally whiten your teeth. Be sure to use an electric toothbrush if it fits into your budget.
If you opt to have a dental professional handle the whitening of your teeth you will find excellent results. The best and most commonly used teeth whitening system a dental professional will use is the use of a gel that is applied usually to the teeth directly. In just one visit your teeth can be brightened up to 10 times higher of a shade. Thereafter, the dental professional will provide an at home whitening strip or gel that is to be applied in the weeks to come. This type of whitening is the mose effective and will last at least a year but probably longer.
Finally, you can utilize over the counter tooth whitening strips, mouth trays and gels from your local pharmacy. While safe, the effectiveness of these systems pales in comparison to that of one your dentist can provide. Some can be even more costly. Consult with your local dental professional to examine your options in more detail.
Proper Flossing Technique
Learning the proper way to floss your teeth and finding the right technique is essential for good oral hygiene. The reason why we floss is to serve as a compliment to regular brushing of your teeth. Sometimes when we brush, we miss the plaque and food particles that get caught between our teeth in under the gum line. If these particles do not get removed by flossing, the bacteria that makes up plaque will attack the enamel in your teeth or reach deeper into the gums. This can lead to more serious problems such as gum disease and tooth decay. Flossing will also help to conserve and prolong the life span of your teeth. Proper oral hygiene doesn't just help with the mouth, but in all facets of your overall health.
To achieve the highest results when flossing it is a good idea to learn and study how exactly to floss. Below are the steps to proper floss technique:
- Choose your floss wisely. There are two major types of floss: Nylon based and Monofilament floss. Nylon is the more common and less expensive type of floss. You can buy it waxed and un-waxed. depending on your preference. The monofilament floss is a bit more durable and won't shred as quickly as nylon.
- Cut the right amount of floss and wrap correctly. The recommended length is 18 inches. That should be sufficient to wrap both index fingers to make the floss taut. Adjust accordingly for larger fingers. Make sure to hold the floss between your thumb and index fingers for a nice firm grip.
- Gentle sliding motions. Once you've designated an area to start, push the taut floss between two teeth and the gum line separating them. Make sure to do this gently. Push the floss up and down. When you reach the gums try to make a motion tracing the letter "C". When not hitting the gums, simultaneously and gently move your floss up and down and side to side
- Make sure you use clean sections of floss from tooth to tooth. You should have enough slack to comfortably move to each tooth using a clean section.
- Remove the floss the same way it went in. The up and down motion you used to get into the teeth, should be the same way you exit.
Be sure to keep this guide in mind when flossing to reduce the negative effects of improper flossing technique. Improper technique when flossing can cause soft tissue damage in the gums or even bone damage. It may cause your gums to be infected and lead to gum disease. For further information on proper flossing technique speak to your local dental professional.

Buying Your First Property? The Top 5 Things You Need to Do
Whether you want to rent out a new home, a commercial property, or a residential building, buying your first property can be an exciting endeavour. You will be investing a large amount of your hard-earned money so you can start getting a flow of resources. That is a good idea and all, but it is best not to rush the process.
Before you start looking for land and asking experts for a conveyancing quote calculator, you should do these things to ensure that your purchase goes as smooth as possible.
1. Crunch Numbers
Think about your financial resources, your budget for the property, the mortgage fees, taxes, and all other costs that come with buying property. Do you have enough to go through with it? Will you have enough left to maintain it and to continue living your lifestyle? If your answer for both is yes, then go ahead and proceed with your purchase.
2. Resolve All Possible Loopholes
All banks require clients not to have a shady background to be eligible for any kind of loan. This means you should not have missed or late payments on any loan, are not a probationary employee, have no traffic violations, and many others that count as having a not-so-ideal background.
3. Research Proactively
Do not rely on your agent to tell you everything. Though they can, it is still best you do your own legwork when choosing the location of your property. Do you need it to be close to a lot of traffic? Does it have the surrounding amenities that you need? Make sure that it is a prime location for whatever it is you plan to do with it.
4. Know What You Want
You cannot just go looking around for a property without a list of requirements. That is going to take you forever. Write down what it is you want in a property, but be flexible if ever you find one that does not completely meet your needs. Do not expect to find a place that has exactly what you need.
5. Know the Professionals Helping You
The agents, surveyors, financial advisors, and other professionals you may meet along this property purchasing process are crucial to make the right decisions. Know who they are, ask for their credentials, and make sure they are easy to talk to.
If you get these first five steps down, the rest of the process should come in easy. This could probably be your first major investment, so make it count by getting the basics right. You will never know when it could be an investment that can change your life.

23 Min Senior Cabin Model -
Quote: "Here is a full-size PDF format plan for the rubber-powered 23 Minute Senior Cabin Model, designed by Kenneth Lane and published in the December 1939 issue of Model Airplane News. This plan was apparently not accompanied by a construction article. I used the metric of 30.875" (5/8" + 23 1/2" + 6 3/4") as given for the overall fuselage length to scale this plan. The flat wingspan is given as 39.5". Given the name but lacking a conventional cabin, I assume the fuselage must have met the stipulated cross-section area requirements for a cabin model circa 1939."
Did we get something wrong with this plan? That happens sometimes. Help us make a correction

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.

Does Michael Jackson's new album honor his legacy?
The reviews are in for the superstar's album of previously unreleased material, "Michael." Is it a worthy coda to the King of Pop's career?
Fans may be ecstatic over the release of the posthumous album "Michael," but critics wonder if there is any of the real Michael Jackson to be found in its tracks.
Best Opinion: Entertainment Weekly, Wash. Post, LA Times
Nearly a year and half after his death, Michael Jackson has a new album out this week. The record, simply titled "Michael," is a collection of previously unreleased material, unfinished tracks, and B-sides, mostly from the latter stages of the megastar's career. But "Michael" has stirred considerable controversy, with critics saying the vocals have been manipulated so much that it's not clear it's actually Jackson singing, and fans and celebrities have expressed outrage that the material is even seeing the light of day. Is "Michael" any good and would the superstar have approved of it?
It is not bad, but leaves you wondering: "Michael" is "arguably stronger" than Jackson's 2001 release, Invincible, says Leah Greenblatt at Entertainment Weekly. It's a "solid" effort "as far as musical epitaphs go" the "airy, danceable" track "Monster" is a highlight. But Jackson was famously a perfectionist in the studio, and listening to the album, "it's hard not to not wonder what he would have done differently or if he would have wanted us to hear it at all."
This should not be part of Jackson's legacy: There isn't much reason to pick up this "10-track batch of Jackson leftovers," says Chris Richards at The Washington Post. Obviously, the King of Pop couldn't personally approve the album, but "many of these tunes are bland enough to make you wonder if he had any hand in it at all." To pass off these pale imitations as real Michael Jackson songs is "sickening stuff."
It underscores the mystery surrounding Michael: The album "can't help but feel like the work of zombie hands," says Margaret Wappler at the Los Angeles Times. The posthumous production process, which involves "many different creators," raises "as many questions as it answers." It's anyone's guess what Jackson would have done with the songs, and that unknowability reminds listeners that he's "still a mystery, the ultimate phantasmagoria of pop music."
From the snippets I heard of it..... No.

Whatever happened to this album? I'm pretty sure it was the one his "bought and paid for" white family members pieced together and put out. I saw them on Oprah (it was most sickening to see Michael taking the dayum
out for his pretend white family). The oldest boy, maybe in his early 20s, said that the songs were authentic Michael, but, well,
The gravy train that was Michael had died and they were sopping up the plate with whatever of his remains they found.

"The speed with which information is communicated exceeds our capacity for reflection and judgment, and this does not make for more balanced and proper forms of expression. … We need, for example, to recover a certain sense of deliberateness and calm. This calls for time and the ability to be silent and to listen."
