Pyrex® Glass Use & Care

As with all glass products, you must exercise an appropriate degree of care, especially when cooking food at high temperatures. There are three primary risks associated with using glassware for cooking: (1) breakage due to a sudden temperature change applied to the glassware; (2) breakage due to impact if the glassware is dropped or knocked against a hard object; and (3) burning when handling hot bakeware.

  • Avoid sudden temperature changes to glassware. DO NOT add liquid to hot glassware; place hot glassware on a wet or cool surface, directly on countertop or metal surface, or in sink; or handle hot glassware with wet cloth. Allow hot glassware to cool on a cooling rack, potholder or dry cloth. Be sure to allow hot glassware to cool as provided above before washing, refrigerating or freezing.
  • Oven must be preheated before inserting glassware.
  • DO NOT use on or under a flame or other direct heat source, including on a stove top, under a broiler, on a grill or in a toaster oven.
  • Add a small amount of liquid sufficient to cover the bottom of the dish prior to cooking foods that may release liquid.
  • Avoid handling hot glassware (including ware with silicone gripping surfaces) without dry potholders.
  • Avoid microwave misuse. DO NOT use glassware to microwave popcorn or foods wrapped in heat-concentrating material (such as special browning wrappers), heat empty or nearly empty glassware in microwave, or overheat oil or butter in microwave (use minimum amount of cooking time).
  • Be careful when handling broken glass because pieces may be extremely sharp and difficult to locate.
  • Handling your glassware without an appropriate degree of care could result in breakage, chipping, cracking or severe scratching. DO NOT use or repair any glassware that is chipped, cracked or severely scratched.
  • DO NOT drop or hit glassware against a hard object or strike utensils against it.

Usage Instructions
Pyrex® Glassware can be used for cooking, baking, warming and reheating food in microwave ovens and preheated conventional or convection ovens. Pyrex Glassware is dishwasher safe and may be washed by hand using non-abrasive cleansers and plastic or nylon cleaning pads if scouring is necessary.

Temporary Triumphs for the Totally, Indisputably, Extravagantly Wrong

September 17, 2000

Book Review
James Case

Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud. By Robert Park, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2000, x + 230 pages, $25.00.

In 1982, Robert Park agreed to establish---during a long-overdue sabbatical from the University of Maryland---a Washington office of the American Physical Society. Asked to serve as the eyes and ears of his profession, he quickly proved an effective voice as well, not only for physics but for all of science. Then, as no obvious successor had emerged by year's end, he agreed to stay on for a while, dividing his time between teaching at nearby College Park and minding the APS store in downtown Washington. He continues to stalk the halls of Congress and to report his findings in his sardonically informative weekly column What's New (available electronically at www.aps.org/WN/).

Persuaded that few if any of the major issues now confronting society can be productively addressed without input from the sciences, and that most elected officials are ill equipped either to identify or to evaluate such input, he determined to offer what assistance he could. Although prepared to suffer the agony of occasional defeat, he was amazed by the regularity with which it came at the hands of people whose scientific claims and ideas he describes as "totally, indisputably, extravagantly, wrong." As a result, many of his most memorable What's New columns have recounted disputes in which such ideas triumph---at least temporarily---over sound science.

The book under review draws heavily on those columns. The subjects include "star wars," cold fusion, the health dangers of electric power lines, silicone gel breast implants, homeopathic medicine, the Roswell event, infinite free energy via repeal of the second law of thermodynamics, and much, much more.

The term "voodoo science" is a catchall invented by one of Park's editors for the four separate and distinct categories of erroneous science that Park has identified: pathological, junk, pseudo-, and fraudulent science. The fourth requires no explanation, being the science of unperformed experiments and/or falsified results; when detected, it is deemed scandalous and often becomes headline news. The other three are more common, and are often presented favorably in the media. Absent allegations of fraud, they become useful for selling newspapers and filling air time on slow news days.

Error, as Park points out, is a normal part of scientific discovery. Scientists spend much of their time uncovering flaws in their own and other observations and reasoning. They go to extreme lengths---as Richard Feynman so memorably pointed out in his 1974 commencement address to the students at Caltech---to avoid attributing significance to spurious results by (among other things) repeating measurements and designing control experiments. Yet mistakes are made. That is why the scientific community tends to withhold judgment until experimental results have been replicated by independent investigators and/or published in peer-reviewed journals.

The term "pathological science" was coined by Irving Langmuir---winner (in 1932) of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry---to describe the "science of things that are not so." He became fascinated with such science when, not long after receiving the Nobel, he read about the work of Duke University psychologist J.B. Rhine on extrasensory perception. Deciding to investigate, Langmuir found Rhine to be commendably open and above board concerning the conduct and analysis of his experiments, which involved a special deck of cards designed to produce success rates of about 20% in various guessing games. Because his subjects consistently scored higher than 20%, Rhine concluded that they possessed a previously unidentified power---one that deserved a catchy name like ESP, as well as further investigation.

Langmuir soon discovered, to his horror, that Rhine had biased his results by culling certain low scores from the data he subsequently analyzed, on
the ground that the subjects responsible had deliberately guessed wrong. Langmuir attempted to explain the concept of statistical bias to a reporter but was unable to make himself understood---the reporter conveyed only the information that a Nobel prize winner was looking into ESP. As a result, Rhine was soon overwhelmed with new graduate students and offers of support. Not surprisingly, at least to Rhine, Langmuir had lent credibility to ESP merely by expressing interest in it.

Langmuir exposed Rhine not as a fraud, but as a victim of self-deception. Enamored of his ESP hypothesis, and fully expecting experiment to confirm it, he found confirmation where none existed. Although every investigator is mistaken from time to time, most are prevented from publishing fallacious results by their own mental discipline, by colleagues willing to play devil's advocate, and/or the peer-review process itself. And of those who still manage to err in print, most are guilty of nothing more than foolish, wishful thinking. Like the international dateline, however, the border between foolishness and fraud is less than clearly marked, making it possible to cross unknowingly, and making the precise instant of crossing impossible to determine. Most scientists agree that only those who willfully ignore or conceal evidence invalidating their published claims merit designation as fraudulent.

Junk science differs from pathological science in purpose, being intended to create doubt and uncertainty---particularly in the minds of jurists or legislators---where none need exist. It typically consists of tortured theories of what could be so, with little or no indication that it is so. Courtroom claims concerning silicone gel breast implants furnish outstanding examples. Soon after the devices became readily available, initially satisfied customers began to blame them for all manner of ailments. The experts called to testify on behalf of the alleged victims were quite unable to identify the mechanism(s) whereby the implants might cause the reported ailments, or even to demonstrate that women with implants were more likely than women without them to contract the ailments in question. Experts could confirm only that the alleged victims were indeed sick, and describe ways in which implants might have caused their illnesses. But that was often enough for the jury.

A few years later, with the gradual accumulation of sufficient quantities of data, it became increasingly clear that women with implants are no more likely than women without them to contract the ailments in question. By that time, though, at least one manufacturer of the implants---Dow-Corning---had been forced into bankruptcy by judgments as high as $25 million to a single alleged victim. The real victim, says Park, was Dow-Corning, which fell prey to junk science, and to the trial lawyers who suborn it.

In another instance of junk science, both the American Physical Society and the National Academy of Sciences were obliged to conduct lengthy reviews of the possible health effects of exposure to residential electromagnetic fields. Fears were first expressed in 1979, when an unemployed epidemiologist named Nancy Wertheimer obtained the addresses of childhood leukemia patients in Denver and drove around the city looking for common environmental factors that might have contributed to the children's conditions. Noticing that the homes of many victims were near electric power transformers, she wondered whether electromagnetic fields might somehow compound the risk of childhood leukemia. In collaboration with a local physicist, she wrote a paper concluding that children from homes with "high" magnetic fields from power lines were three times as likely to develop leukemia as children from homes with "low" fields.

The work was a pilot study at best---it was not a "blind" study, and field strengths were estimated rather than measured. But Paul Brodeur, a staff writer at The New Yorker, got wind of their findings and saw in them an opportunity to create public awareness of the possible health effects of Electro Magnetic Fields (EMFs) in the home. Farmers whose fields were crossed by power lines soon began to report declining milk and egg production; women who worked at computer terminals, or slept under electric blankets, were found to bear an increased risk of miscarriage; people living under power lines were found to commit suicide with unusual frequency. No mention was made of the fact that people living near power lines are also typically poor.

Robert Adair, a physicist at Yale, felt at once that the fears of EMFs were unjustified. For one thing, such fears had arisen among radar workers during World War II, and had been thoroughly investigated many times since by teams of both military and civilian scientists, who found no harmful effects. For another, all known cancer-inducing agents---including chemical carcinogens like benzene and tobacco smoke, ionizing radiation like x-rays and ultraviolet rays, as well as certain viruses---act by damaging DNA. The damage consists of broken or altered chemical bonds, which result in mutant strands of DNA. But microwave photons don't carry enough energy to inflict such damage. They can bend or stretch valence bonds, but lack the strength to break them. In time, Adair published an article concluding that there was no known physical process by which microwave radiation might bring about the reported health effects.

The hounds were by then in full cry, and any denial of responsibility was sure to be regarded as a cover-up. By the time the APS could complete a thorough review of the evidence---which it did in 1995---an entire industry had grown up around the power-line controversy. Armies of epidemiologists conducted ever-larger studies; activists organized campaigns to relocate power lines away from schools; courts were clogged with damage suits; newsletters were devoted to the issue; the measurement of 60-Hz magnetic fields in homes and offices had become a cottage industry; fraudulent devices were being marketed to protect against possible health damage; and Paul Brodeur's books were selling well. Only the massive APS study, followed a year later by a report from the National Academy of Sciences, could begin to limit the damage.

Pseudoscience is even more vacuous than junk science. As Park employs the term, it refers to no misreading of experimental data, nor to any misapplication of established theory. Rather, it refers to a purely linguistic exercise in which hucksters incorporate the buzz-words of science into their sales pitches. It happens when a health guru like Deepak Chopra, MD (several of whose books have remained for many weeks at or near the top of bestseller lists), asserts that his brand of spiritual healing is firmly grounded in quantum theory; it happens when devices placed on the market are said to offer protection from extraterrestrials who use their mastery of faster-than-light space travel to visit (with obvious intent to cuckold, enslave, or dessicate) earthlings; and it happens when the manufacturers of magnetic shoe inserts (doubtless employing the latest CD-ROM technology) claim that their products draw "energy" from the Earth. Pseudoscience is nothing more than age-old superstition dressed up in the language of science.

Park seems to possess an endless supply of "insider" stories. One of the more chilling concerns "star wars" and the Reykjavik summit, at which the U.S. failed to conclude a nuclear arms treaty with the Soviet Union, despite the reported readiness of then Soviet leader Gorbachev to sign. The treaty would have called for the elimination of all offensive nuclear weapons within ten years, on the sole condition that all SDI-type weaponry be confined to the laboratory. Somehow, the most promising opportunity of the entire Cold War era to conclude a verifiable peace agreement slipped away.

Park relates that, on the very eve of the summit, Edward Teller sent a telegram to Paul Nitze---the chief U.S. arms negotiator---informing him that something called Super Excalibur had been successfully tested and was "ready for engineering development." Nitze could easily have taken the message to mean that Teller's minions were on the verge of programming a single x-ray laser "the size of an office desk" to shoot down the entire Soviet land-based missile force. In truth, Super Excalibur was tested only once, almost a full year before Reykjavik, with unimpressive results. While it is impossible to know whether Teller's eleventh-hour revelation caused the breakdown of the Reykjavik peace talks, it is a matter of record that his funding for "star wars" research was promptly extended.

Park is a long-time member---and a recently elected fellow---of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP). The roster already includes scientists like Francis Crick, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Jay Gould, Murray Gell-Mann, Leon Lederman, Glenn Seaborg (now deceased), and Steven Weinberg, as well as writer/philosophers like Martin Gardner and Douglas Hofstadter, and other prominent citizens. The committee publishes---among other things---the bimonthly Skeptical Inquirer, which bills itself as a "magazine for science and reason." Its stated purpose is to "critically examine claims of paranormal, fringe science from a responsible, scientific point of view." Some of the most prominent fellows have contributed articles over the years. Topics of continuing interest include dowsing, alternative medicine, ESP, PSI, The New Age, vampires, Heaven's Gate, Bigfoot, astrology, the Roswell event, alien autopsies, Holocaust denial, and the madness of crowds. The purpose is not to have the last word on such matters--an obvious impossibility---but merely to expose claims concerning them to the light of reason. SI has published numerous proposals for the improvement of science education, as well it might in a nation where untold millions fear alien abduction, doubt the Holocaust, and patronize psychic hot lines.

Voodoo Science carries SI's mission to another level---the dizzying heights of Capitol Hill. It exposes the manner in which claims of the paranormal influence public policy and waste public funds. Claims made during and after the energy crisis on behalf of cold fusion, the Newman Energy Machine, and the Patterson Energy Cell figure prominently in Park's account. He traces their histories, with particular attention to the role played by the news media in generating congressional hearings. He also argues convincingly that, in more than a few cases, what presumably began as innocent pathological science seems all but certain to have crossed the line into outright fraud. His book is in turn amusing, informative, thought-provoking, and distressing. To educators, the emphasis must be on distressing.

How to merge two brands in six necessary steps

Share on:

When companies approach branding firms like Siegel+Gale for guidance on merging two corporate or product brands, the request is typically for us to develop a name, logo, endorsement strategy and story for the new merged entity. In many cases, however, it’s not the right move to simply create and launch a new brand identity overnight. The job is not done with the introduction of some new branding elements.

Merging brands is a process. It’s about transitioning equity, shifting perceptions and migrating customers. It must be done carefully, strategically, with the full support of business, marketing and brand management resources within a company. If not done right, companies can squander brand equity and lose customers. In addition, competitors can steal market share, company cultures can be destroyed, and, the value that the M&A deal was supposed to create can get undermined.

The problem is that, in most cases, companies lack a clear business and marketing migration plan and resources to support an effective brand migration. This is probably a result of the way mergers and acquisitions happen: executives who have little experience managing brands work behind the scenes to make an acquisition. The acquisition is announced and there is no qualified team in place to manage the transition. Merging brands is treated as an afterthought.

The truth is that proper brand migration requires the right people, planning, investment, measurement and commitment.

Here are six necessary steps for merging brands properly:

1. Establish a cross-functional team of three to five business, marketing and branding staff who will oversee the migration for 12 months.

2. Identify the synergies between the two brands and the ways each brand creates real value for customers. Don’t just slam the two brands together into something new and start advertising.

3. Architect a migration plan that outlines exactly what role each brand will play over the next 12-24 months, and how each will deliver value for customers. What exactly will each brand bring to the equation? Which employees will represent which brand? (Careful planning, in particular, is an area the few companies invest in.) Include metrics to measure the effectiveness of the migration.

4. Develop a name, logo, endorsement strategy and story for the new entity. (Note: It’s not just about a new name and logo. It’s about creating the right communicative relationship between the two brands in digital and print communications and across all touchpoints.)

5. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Make sure customers understand the role that each brand plays.

6. Manage the migration over time. Be prepared to evolve the identity as the relationship between the two brands shifts.

Lastly, there may be some cases where it makes more sense to keep two brands separate. Some companies have a tendency to simply swallow every brand they acquire without thinking things through. This is not always the best decision—but executives sometimes forget it is an option in the excitement of the merger or acquisition.

The option to keep brands separate should be kept on the table during the migration planning process and weighed carefully. Without a clear and well-grounded rationale for merging two brands, your company runs the risk of ignoring that old, but good adage: “first, do no harm.”

Mario Kart 8’s First DLC Pack Will Add Mute City From F-Zero, Zelda-Themed Course

By Ishaan . November 5, 2014 . 3:25pm

The first DLC pack for Mario Kart 8 will be released on November 13th, Nintendo said today. The pack will add new characters, tracks and vehicles to the game, which are highlighted in the trailer above.

Among this new content is the Master Cycle based on The Legend of Zelda. It looks as though a new course based on the Zelda series will be available in the game as well. Meanwhile, Mute City from F-Zero will be one of the new courses, too. The DLC pack will cost $7.99.

Additionally, Nintendo have announced what their Amiibo figurines will do in Mario Kart 8. When players tap a Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Link, Captain Falcon, Fox, Samus or Kirby Amiibo figure on the Wii U GamePad, they’ll receive a Mii racing suit themed to that particular Amiibo character.

Amiibos will begin rolling out on November 21st, alongside Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

  • 하세요

    The songs for these are just fantastic. That alone would make me want it.

  • Freakmasta

    I wanna drive through Mute City so badly… Speaking of which, WHERE’S MY F-ZERO Wii U?!

    • 하세요

      You’re looking at it |: The moment I saw the gravity in MK8, I knew F-Zero U was pretty much dead. These additions are just nails in the coffin, at least any time soon.

  • Feel like Captain Falcon got snubbed there. I would have liked him in alongside Link instead of one of the “clones” (I say keep Cat Peach cause most recent powerup).

  • Link has a big head here. Must be an allergic reaction from the mushrooms…

  • Nintendo proves why they don’t need to make a new Mario Kart every year.

  • IndigoRift

    Cool. Time to cry while playing F-Zero GX again. I don’t think I like my life right now.

  • Junko Enoshima

    Hyrule Castle stage AND F-zero stage? I need a Wii u now.

  • F-Zero is dead ;_;

  • LuluKoizumi

    To me F-Zero is alive, I feel like this is a hint to a new f-zero game I mean if fans keep saying they want F-Zero you will get it sooner or later. I mean nintendo said they would make a majora’s mask remake they can do something with F-Zero. OwO

    • I think F-Zero is much more alive with Ninty this gen, and that did feel like a giant amount of hinting. I really hope it’s so~. >u<

      • LuluKoizumi

        >:3 I think so! If we all stay positive and keep asking them for it they will tell us something sooner or later!

        • Agreed~! I have a good feeling about it! >uO

  • Namuro

    Link looks so happy! I bet he really enjoys his time off from saving the world! LOL

    Also, seeing the F-Zero stage kinda make me want Captain Falcon to be in the game, too. Ah well, at least you can dress up as him.

    Speaking of other characters… I’d love to see “Nintendo Kart”, rather than just “Mario Kart”!

  • Can’t wait to cruise around in the Blue Falcon kart.

    Maybe a hint that there’s a chance that we’ll get an F-Zero game for the WIIU? ;)

    • E.T.993

      Probably a downloadable F-Zero game using all the tracks from the previous era that’s also online, but Nintendo themselves said they ran out of ideas for the series and they don’t want to pull a ”Call Of Duty” on it.

  • Adrian Duran

    Don’t see why people think F-Zero is dead just because there where no F-Zero games on the Wii

    Using that logic, 80% of Nintendo series died during the N64 era

    • Altumn

      I would disagree. The series is dead until a new one is released, I would call all these references, or tributes.

  • RagingTiger44

    This is this the first DLC pack. Way to start off with a bang. If there’s a season pass, I want one.

    P.S. – Dat Saxophone…

    • there is its a £11 or $11.99 (dont know how Nintendo do currency exchange) for both announced DLC

      • RagingTiger44

  • Göran Isacson

    AaaaaaAAAAAH EXCITE BIKE STAGE. Or possible mode to design a stage like that? I have never seen this before, where can you get the Excite Bike stage/mode?

  • Yan Zhao

    ….sold just for the MUSIC of those DLC stages!

  • Kornelious

    Huh, Never would’ve expected a F-Zero stage (Though it makes a lot of sense) Though Link looks awesome! I might have to pre-order the DLC pack just for that :D

It's main competitor in the wireline division, Dresser Atlas, is a long way behind compared to the revenue that Schlumberger gets.

The Garden Party and Other Stories Audiobook

Written by : Katherine Mansfield
Read by: Lindsay Duncan

The Garden Party, read in this unabridged audio book by the great English actress Lindsay Duncan,  has often been held up as an example of the near perfect short story.

Virginia Woolf once said that Katherine Mansfield’s was “the only writing I have ever been jealous of”.  Mansfield’s short stories are some of the best examples of this fiendishly difficult from of literature.  Her style, with its seemingly haphazard stream of consciousness and deliciously funny surprises follows directly from that of Anton Chekhov, whose stories she admired greatly, but her own stories were to become just as influential in the formation of the genre.

The acerbic and startlingly accurate snippets of people’s lives that Mansfield shows us in these stories have many resonances in her own life.  Although a central member of the exciting and extraordinary Bloomsbury set at the turn of the twentieth century, Mansfield was born and brought up in New Zealand and The Garden Party first published in 1923, harks back to her time in Wellington with her socially ambitious parents and the society that surrounded them.  At The Bay follows this train of inspiration with Mansfield’s childhood beach home providing the back drop for this icy little number.  The Daughters of the Late Colonel with its exquisite and agonisingly wicked descriptions of the “old tabbies” dining off their terrified white blancmange, was the only story Mansfield ever professed herself satisfied with – “to any extent”.  The nail biting tension in Mr Hammond’s jealous insecurity about his oh-so popular wife in The Stranger reveals a side of Mansfield which must have made her somewhat varied sex life rather harder than it appeared.

These are a collection of wonderfully vicious portraits and seriously infectious emotions.

The Maid's Quarters

The ‘Maid's Quarters’ provides luxury accommodation for families, groups of friends or couples wanting extra space and privacy.

The old servant’s quarters at Silvermere were renovated in 2011 to provide spacious child friendly accommodation. Located within the east wing of Silvermere, there are spectacular views of the Sydney Plain and the lights of Sydney as well as the Blue Mountains National Park.

The 50 square metre apartment includes living and dining area with kitchenette, queen bedroom and separate twin bedroom. A dishwasher is provided in the kitchenette. The spa bathroom features original 1940s tilework. A 100 cm LCD television and a DVD player is provided. Free wifi access is also available. Cots and high chairs can be provided on request.

Furnishings include a mixture of antique and modern. The apartment is centrally heated with ceiling fans in the two bedrooms in case (unusually) we have a hot night.

The Maid's Quarters can be booked as self contained or on a bed and breakfast package. The latter includes a full country breakfast. Cheaper rates apply for stays of more than 1 night.

Stayed here one night over the long weekend in June with my partner and best friend. We chose the Maids Quarters which has two bedrooms. Lovely detail and very good quality furnishings and finishings. It was freezing that weekend (particularly for us Qlders) but the heating was adequate and I spent quite a few hours in the spa bath reading a book after a full day of hiking and sight seeing. Definitely would go back, just longer next time.

garden dreaming {2013}

December 3, 2012 001

I write this same post every year.  I simply have to.  You see, it is gray, dreary, and drab here in the deep south.  And it is cold.  Maybe not so cold to those who live further north than us but cold to my very deep south blood. The pansies give us little glimpses of colorful hope against the gray lifelessness of winter mud.  Sometimes the sun surprises us by illuminating the sky and showing us the blue instead of the dullness of the gray winter skies.  But most of January is wet, gray, cold, and drab.

It sounds kind of depressing, eh?

If I’m not careful, I can let the season of winter grab my joy and send me in a downward spiral of gloominess.  So every winter I find ways to combat it – colorful dishes in my home holding yummy, warm drinks; pansies in the yard; colorful, happy pictures drawn by my children that hang as bright decorations; cheerfully colored sweaters, shirts, and scarves; and planning the new garden.

January 10, 2013 011

I know the season of winter is short for us here.  (Really…who am I to complain…) And planning the garden helps me to remember that the return of colorful flowers, green plants, and blue skies are not so far away.

And as soon as it warms up a bit (we’re expecting freezing rain tonight and tomorrow), I’m heading out to start on some of our new plans for our 2013 garden so we are ready to plant when the time comes.

January 10, 2013 012 We’ve all ready started to remove the front beds because they were falling apart.  They will be replaced with larger beds to hold more vegetable plants.

Garden dreams {2013}

  • remove white fence
  • remove flower/herb beds along front of garden
  • build new beds along front:  2 for veggies, 1 for herbs & flowers
  • transplant blackberries to back of garden in front of privacy fence
  • fix broken beds inside of garden
  • draw up plans for planting, make seed/plant lists
  • fill boxes with compost and cover with newspaper & leaves
  • find new location for grow light to start seeds

Even though the only thing growing in the garden now is {very neglected} mustard greens and sweet peas, the garden seems to have plenty of things for me to do.  Like they say, the garden never sleeps!

And it won’t be long before those of us in Louisiana will be ready to start planting and starting seeds.

Here are a few resources that I use to help me plan when to plant/start seeds:

Are you dreaming up your new garden yet?

Preparing for 100 Day

It's hard to believe that the month has come to an end and that our 100th day of school will be on Tuesday.  Today my students began to start preparing for this special day.  During math time we decorated 100 strips of paper.  My goal is to link these together to make a paper chain to hang in our room.  I will be sure to post a picture of our final project.

Monday, January 23, 2012

It's official, I am back in the blogging world. I am so excited to finally start my blog again. The first time I started this blog it was to help communicate with my parents about things happening in our classroom. Now after becoming a true "blog hopper/stalker" I would like to give back to my teaching community. Everyone has been so wonderful about sharing such great ideas that I think it's time for me to jump in and give back.

I hope that you will be able to find at least one or two ideas on my blog or if you follow me on Pinterest that you will be able to use in your classroom. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon.

What Is A Blue Moon?

Recent decades have seen widespread popular embrace of the idea that when a calendar month contains two full Moons, the second one is called a "Blue Moon." The unusual pattern of lunar phases in early 1999 — two full Moons each in January and March, and none at all in February — triggered a groundswell of public interest. Countless newspapers and radio and TV stations ran stories about Blue Moons.

Rising full Moon
A rising full Moon lights the scene in The Fishing Party, painted by Fitz Hugh Lane after a visit to the coast of Maine in August 1850. That month contained a Fruit Moon, according to the Maine almanac's rules.
In an article entitled Once in a Blue Moon, folklorist Philip Hiscock traced the calendrical meaning of the term "Blue Moon" to the Maine Farmers' Almanac for 1937. But a page from that almanac belies the second-full-Moon-in-a-month interpretation.

With help from Margaret Vaverek (Southwest Texas State University) and several other librarians, we obtained more than 40 editions of the Maine Farmers' Almanac from the period 1819 to 1962. These refer to more than a dozen Blue Moons, and not one of them is the second full Moon in a month. What's going on here?

How Often Do Blue Moons Happen?

Several clues point to a strong connection between the almanac's Blue Moons and the four seasons of the year. All of the listed Blue Moons fall on the 20th, 21st, 22nd, or 23rd day of November, May, February, or August. These blue moon dates fall about a month before the Northern Hemisphere winter and summer solstices, and spring and fall equinoxes, respectively, which occur on similar day numbers.

Although the idea of a seasonal pattern suggested itself to us immediately, verifying the details required a lot of detective work. We found that the Blue-Moon definition employed in the Maine Farmers' Almanac is indeed based on the seasons, but with some subtle twists.

Instead of the calendar year running from January 1st through December 31st, the almanac relies on the tropical year, defined as extending from one winter solstice ("Yule") to the next. Most tropical years contain 12 full Moons — three each in winter, spring, summer, and fall — and each is named for an activity appropriate to the time of year (such as the Harvest Moon in autumn). But occasionally a tropical year contains 13 full Moons, such that one season has four rather than the usual three.

Seasonal tables from the Farmers' Almanac
These tables appeared in the 1939 Maine Farmers' Almanac and show that the beginnings of the seasons were fixed by the 'R.A.M.S.' (right ascension of the mean Sun). The almanac lists separately the 'Turns and Crosses' of the apparent Sun, which executes a 'turn' from northward motion in declination to southward (or vice versa) at the solstices and 'crosses the line' (the celestial equator) at the equinoxes. Click on the table for a larger view.
Maine Farmers' Almanac
Today we usually mark the beginning of the seasons when the Sun's celestial longitude passes 0° (spring), 90° (summer), 180° (autumn), and 270° (winter). The Sun appears to move along the ecliptic at a variable rate because of the Earth's not-quite-circular orbit, so the seasons defined this way are not equal in duration. Another approach uses the dynamical mean Sun or fictitious mean Sun — imaginary bodies that move along the ecliptic and the celestial equator, respectively, at a constant rate and produces seasons of equal length. The Maine almanac defines the seasons using this alternative method.

The almanac also follows certain rules laid down as part of the Gregorian calendar reform in 1582. The ecclesiastical vernal (spring) equinox always falls on March 21st, regardless of the position of the Sun. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, 46 days before Easter, and must contain the Lenten Moon, considered to be the last full Moon of winter. The first full Moon of spring is called the Egg Moon (or Easter Moon, or Paschal Moon) and must fall within the week before Easter.

What is a blue moon?
When is the Moon 'blue,' in a calendrical sense? According to the Maine almanac, a Blue Moon occurs when a season has four full Moons, rather than the usual three. This type of Blue Moon is found only in February, May, August, and November, one month before the next equinox or solstice. According to modern folklore, a Blue Moon is the second full Moon in a calendar month. This type of Blue Moon can occur in any month but February, which is always shorter than the time between successive full Moons.
S&T illustration
At last we have the "Maine rule" for Blue Moons: Seasonal Moon names are assigned near the spring equinox in accordance with the ecclesiastical rules for determining the dates of Easter and Lent. The beginnings of summer, fall, and winter are determined by the dynamical mean Sun. When a season contains four full Moons, the third is called a Blue Moon.

Why is the third full Moon identified as the extra one in a season with four? Because only then will the names of the other full Moons, such as the Moon Before Yule and the Moon After Yule, fall at the proper times relative to the solstices and equinoxes.

What Is A Blue Moon: Questions and Answers

During the period 1932 to 1957, under the editorship of Henry Porter Trefethen (1887-1957), the Maine Farmers' Almanac consistently listed Blue Moons derived from the convoluted seasonal rule just described. So where did the modern convention — that a Blue Moon is the second full Moon in a calendar month — come from? Sky & Telescope has, and is, the answer!

Laurence J. Lafleur (1907-66) of Antioch College, Ohio, discussed Blue Moons in a question-and-answer column in Sky & Telescope, July 1943, page 17, citing the 1937 Maine Farmers' Almanac as his source. It is clear that Lafleur had a copy of the almanac at his side as he wrote, since he quoted word for word the commentary on the August 1937 calendar page. This commentary notes that the Moon occasionally "comes full thirteen times in a year," but Lafleur did not judge whether this referred to a tropical year or a calendar year. More important, he did not mention the specific dates of any Blue Moons and never said anything about two full Moons in one calendar month.

S&T Cover March 1946
The cover of the March 1946 issue of S&T.
Some three years later, in March 1946, an article entitled "Once in a Blue Moon" appeared in Sky & Telescope (page 3). Its author, James Hugh Pruett (1886-1955), was an amateur astronomer living in Eugene, Oregon, and a frequent contributor to S&T. Pruett wrote on a variety of topics, especially fireball meteors. In his article on Blue Moons, he mentioned the 1937 Maine almanac and repeated some of Lafleur's earlier comments. Then, unfortunately, he went on to say, "Seven times in 19 years there were — and still are — 13 full moons in a year. This gives 11 months with one full moon each and one with two. This second in a month, so I interpret it, was called Blue Moon."

Pruett must not have had the 1937 almanac handy, or he would have noticed that the Blue Moon fell on August 21st (obviously not the second full Moon that month) and that 1937 had only 12 full Moons. But only in retrospect is his error so obvious.

Modern Folklore

Sky & Telescope adopted Pruett's new definition, using it in a note entitled "'Blue' Moons in May" on page 176 of the May 1950 issue. In a bizarre twist, the data on lunar phases for this note came from none other than H. Porter Trefethen of Winthrop, Maine, editor of the very almanac Pruett misread four years earlier! But Trefethen himself never called the second full Moon in a month a Blue Moon. The "'Blue' Moons" headline was likely added by Sky & Telescope's founding editor, Charles A. Federer Jr. Federer agreed that he probably wrote that headline with Pruett's then-recent article in mind and without consulting Trefethen.

As Hiscock explained in the March issue, widespread adoption of the second-full-Moon-in-a-month definition followed its use on the popular radio program StarDate on January 31, 1980. We examined this show's script, authored by Deborah Byrd, and found that it contains a footnote not read on the air that cites Pruett's 1946 article as the source for the information.

With two decades of popular usage behind it, the second-full-Moon-in-a-month (mis)interpretation is like a genie that can't be forced back into its bottle. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Rather than argue over whether to celebrate the dawn of the new millennium on January 1st in 2000 or 2001, those with the sunniest outlooks will celebrate twice. Why not treat Blue Moons the same way, marking both the second full Moon in a calendar month and the third full Moon in a season with four? Or watch the night sky for all kinds of astronomical events? "Even if the calendrical meaning is new," said Federer, "I don't see any harm in it. It's something fun to talk about, and it helps attract people to astronomy."

The Carrie Diaries: What the upcoming CW show should learn from Sex and the City.

Four Lessons The Carrie Diaries Should Take from Sex and the City

What The Carrie Diaries Should Learn from Sex and the City

AnnaSophia Robb as Carrie Bradshaw in The Carrie Diaries.

Mathieu Young/The CW. ©2012 The CW Network. All Rights Reserved.

The first trailer for The Carrie Diaries, the CW's adaptation of Candace Bushnell's prequel to Sex and the City that follows Carrie Bradshaw as a high school student, dropped on Friday. Thus far, it looks exactly like what you'd expect from a CW show: the clothes are fabulous, the cast diverse, the interactions moderately cutting. But if The Carrie Diaries wants to be more than a formula, and the CW wants to capture what drew its target audience to Sex and the City in the first place, here are four lessons the show's creative team should consider from the original.

1. Friendships are the real romance: One thing Sex and the City always got right was the idea that female friendships were something more than the home base a lady returns to for support as she continues her all-consuming quest to find a man. The relationships between Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte were as intense and as fraught as their relationships with men. They fought, hurt each other, made mistakes, had misunderstandings, told lies. The Carrie Diaries is going to focus on Carrie's senior year of high school and move to New York, and as such, it should generate its primary drama out of the strain that transition puts on Carrie's friendships. It would be awfully boring to see the show default to the standard high school drama that's plaguing the CW's medical drama, Emily Owens, MD, right now. Down with the bullying storylines, and up with genuinely complex looks at female friendship.

2. There is no such thing as a perfect man: Friendships may have been at the center of Sex and the City, but the show was more clear-eyed than it ever got credit for in its assessment of romantic relationships. The women of the show may have all ended up with their soul mates, but they did so after questioning their core assumptions about what they needed in a significant other. Miranda thought she wanted a white-collar partner but ended up with bartender Steve; after marrying the WASP of her dreams, Charlotte later learned that sexual heat can come in a bald, slightly paunchy Jewish package when she met Harry; Samantha discovered that monogamy has its own fringe benefits. And while Mr. Big made a grand journey to Paris to rescue Carrie in the series finale, he was still the same guy, with the same communication issues and a tendency to substitute flip wit for honesty. He wasn't perfect. The Carrie Diaries should remember that compromise and growth are always more interesting than Prince Charming.

3. Carrie's youth wasn't all tutus and fantastic heels: One thing I've been curious about with The Carrie Diaries is whether the show would have the guts to address the unplanned pregnancies Carrie and Samantha experienced when they were younger, and which they chose to terminate. Right now, it looks like the show will stick with safer territory for its big trauma: the network staple of dead moms. Let's hope the show at least presents a better version of young city living than the antiseptic artistic poverty of Glee or the faux-dangerous Brooklyn of 2 Broke Girls. Sex and the City may have been fantasy, but it also could be strikingly honest about how Carrie's dumb financial decisions—all those shoes—impacted her attempts at a more grown-up life, as when her building went co-op and she couldn't afford her apartment without a lift from Charlotte. The Carrie Diaries should be more honest than this trailer looks about what it takes to make it in New York.

4. New York in the eighties had specific glamour—and specific challenges: Carrie and Charlotte's gay best friends Stanford and Anthony played a major role in the original series, and she'll have another one, Walt (Brendan Dooling), in The Carrie Diaries. But The Carrie Diaries will also be a lot more interesting and specific if the show addresses what it means to move to New York City in the heights of the AIDS crisis, which had a huge impact on the artistic and fashion communities that Carrie would have gravitated toward. (All those condoms in the Sex and the City pilot must be as much a legacy of the safe-sex movement as of Carrie's desire to have sex like a man.) Given that Carrie's mentor in the show is meant to be an Interview magazine stylist, there would be something weird and dishonest, not to mention a sacrifice of excellent potential storylines, about putting Carrie in the heart of 1980s New York without acknowledging what was happening in the city at that time.

Diffbundle from 7.0.6 to 7.0.8 (updated)

UPDATE - so it is confirmed, 7.0.7 didn't fully fix the plasma panel, so 7.0.8 is on its way. Diffbundle available here: http://www.slax.org/upload/99-diff-706-708.sb

If you just downloaded 7.0.6 and noticed that new Slax 7.0.7 is released, you may download a tiny diff bundle. It is a 4KB big module for Slax which will add all newly changed files to your Slax. Download it and put it in /slax/modules/. The diffbundle is located here:

I didn't even test it, but it should work. It adds all the plasma-related config files so the panel no longer makes any problems. However I think you will need to remove changes.dat file in your Slax since most likely your existing Slax already overwrote the plasma*rc files and the diffbundle wouldn't have any effect (your changes would overide it). Alternatively you may unsquash the bundle to /slax/rootcopy.

For me, a 200MB download doesn't make any problem, so I would rather just download new fixed version in full. Now lets see if the fix really fixes the taskbar for all users. It is pretty tricky.
Maybe we will have 7.0.8 very soon :)

OK so I was able to reproduce it on one computer myself too. That is good news, since it will allow me to fix somehow better.

Just your average, run-of-the-mill crazy person. Did I mention I'm an impoverished college graduate? It explains a lot, I think...
YESSSS yes yes yes yesssss...I'm so proud of you. This looks AWESOME. And color? Dude, you got ambition! I'm looking forward to this. *sits back and quietly stalks from the shadows*
Woah, now, sailor!
@The Orange Cow: For this kind of quality, I'd be willing to wait. This is pretty close to print worthy, minus some technical issues I could see in actually trying to get it on paper... Hell, this is work I'd commission at a $12/hour rate. It's got the line work, the pacing, the panel work, and the pretty decent dialogue. That kind of attention to detail takes time. If you're used to works that are less quality-oriented and more about pumping out the updates as fast as possible, then this comic does not even LOOK close to your speed.

In short, no need to be snarky. It's either worth waiting for or it's not.
Shit's gonna get intense, yo...

Sorry this was late, yet again, but I'm trying to get Prometheus is Dead up and running again. :3 I got back in touch with the fabulous CherryInk and now I'm working on some extra pages. We had about a five page buffer. I don't want us to fall behind again, so we're hoping to have more than that.

Anyways, I'm still dealing with life. Trying to get through and figure things out. The cost of living keeps going up and up. @ m @ When is this recession gonna end??

In other news, I love you all. I'm trying to think of what to do for my next fan thank-you image. You guys are just too sweet, favoriting me and all that. What might you like to see in the next fan image?

I may just end up making a dildo joke...

Took me forever to get this page done. I decided last minute that I wouldn't go the color route, because I've been getting a lot of comments about sticking to the greyscale so I can produce more. I did, however, clean up the lines. I think I like the idea of having cleaner lines and then just touches of color, especially where the demons and powers are concerned.

What do you guys think? Was it a good experiment?

Also, if you like this comic, please support my patreon:

See you all again soon!

Sorry this took a while
Been feeling quite sick. I'm trying not to take time off work, and to do as much overtime as possible. My body is really taking a beating.

So we have one more color page to go...After that, back to the sketchy stuff.

What would you like more: frequent updates in black/white or updates more or less once a week in color?

I'm really curious to know.

Also, please support me if you want more comics:

Any support is deeply appreciated.

Thanks a bunch! See you again soon.

Don't ask me why... few pages are going to be color. Because DRAMAHS ARE BETTUR IN COLURS. 8U *derp*

Also, I really need some help guys. My paycheck is being slashed because I've spent a lot of time away from work. I got a really bad viral infection and it laid me low for about two weeks straight.

If you like this comic and you have a buck, please support my patreon.

I never thought I'd get this many fans so quickly. Thank you guys a TON for all of your support! I hope you don't mind me posting just a little bit of omake. I can never resist a laugh. I'm going to get the next page pumped out tonight. Because yeah, really, you guys are fabulous.

A million thanks!

I just finished two more pages. I'm going to do a double post for today, but only because I think this is a better ending point for this week.

Hello, everyone.

As you can tell, the updates for this comic have been few and far between. Well, if you've been keeping up with the news, I'm kind of dealing with a family situation. My art has slowly been coming back. I'm throwing myself into work as a way to cope. Things aren't going so well.

So what does this mean for the updates, Psy?

Well, I'm going to be starting up again with 1 page/week and try from there. It's a try-and-see kind of thing, because at any point I may need to work overtime to pay for the medical bills. Which means 12 hour days and no sleep and fretting and such.

Never grow up, my darlings. Adulthood sucks.

Hello, all!
Here's the post for today. I'm going to try to post another page later tomorrow night, because my internet is making it VERY hard to reach out to Cherry. She does all the bubble work for my pages, so it's frustrating when my internet decides that, though I have everything ready for her, I can't send it so it can get that finishing touch.

But such is life. It's what you get for living in bumfuck nowhere.

Also, this page was a nightmare to tone.

UK Budget 2015 – Election Acts as a Speed Camera on the Pace of Austerity

This Budget more than any of the Osborne Budgets that went before it had one eye on the election. Previous Budgets focused on protecting the older generation, and again we saw this today with the confirmation of more pension flexibility for those people with annuities. However the younger so-called ‘jilted generation’ also featured on two key fronts – first of all, with employers national insurance contributions waived for under 21s and an additional waiver for employers hiring young apprentices next year; and secondly with the Help to Buy ISA, through which first time buyers will receive a bonus of up to £3,000 for saving for a deposit.

While this is welcome and will undoubtedly be attractive to many first time buyers, in Northern Ireland it is perhaps less economically significant than in the South East of England, as the issue with the local housing market is that there are too many potential home movers in negative equity or with not enough equity to move.

Raising Personal Allowance

As in previous Budgets, the Chancellor has continued his theme of raising the personal allowance. Given that Northern Ireland has lower average incomes than the rest of the UK, an increasing number of individuals locally will be taken out of income tax altogether.

Over the next 24 hours, the media headlines around the Budget are likely to focus on populist measures like the beer duty reduction and the Help to Buy ISA. However, attention will quickly return to the public finances. While these are improving, as the Chancellor highlighted today, the challenges of reducing our debt burden and cutting public expenditure remain.

Indeed, there are an additional £12 billion in welfare spending cuts included in the Budget, which will bring further financial and political challenges for Northern Ireland in particular.

While the pace of austerity appears to have eased relative to the Autumn Statement back in December, people should be under no illusion – the UK faces a second Parliament of fiscal pain. Such a scenario was flagged five years ago by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). Day-to-day public spending is facing cuts in 2016/17 and 2017/18 that are more than twice what has been experienced on average over the last 5-years.

Effectively, the 2015 General Election has acted as a speed camera for the pace of austerity, and after May the austerity accelerator will have a heavy right foot on it again. It is likely that the most unpalatable medicine will be delivered at the start of the fixed 5-year Parliament.

Emergency Budget

Regardless of who wins the next election, a second ‘Emergency Budget’ is expected in June. Public spending growth is not expected to return until 2019-20. We also will face a Spending Review in the autumn. It is noted that in the first so called Parliament of pain, record low interest rates and a weak currency provided much needed tailwinds to the economy. Looking ahead into the second Parliament of pain, the public expenditure cuts for day-to-day spending will be deeper than experienced to date and the sterling / euro exchange rate is now a headwind not a tailwind.

Furthermore, it would be overly optimistic to assume that interest rates will remain on hold for another 5 years as has been the case for the last 6 years. Austerity may be easing and economic growth remains robust. Enjoy that combination while it lasts.

Fabrics detect dangerous gases

Researchers, from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute and Konkuk University in the Republic of Korea, coated cotton and polyester yarn with a nanoglue called bovine serum albumin (BSA). The yarns were then wrapped in graphene oxide sheets.

Graphene is an incredibly strong one-atom-thick layer of carbon that is known for its excellent conductive properties of heat and electricity.

The graphene sheets stuck very well to the nanoglue: so much so that further testing showed the fabrics retained their electrical conducting properties after 1,000 consecutive cycles of bending and straightening and ten washing tests with various chemical detergents. Finally, the graphene oxide yarns were exposed to a chemical reduction process, which involves the gaining of electrons.

The reduced-graphene-oxide-coated materials were found to be particularly sensitive to detecting nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant gas commonly found in vehicle exhaust that also results from fossil fuel combustion. Prolonged exposure to nitrogen dioxide can be dangerous to human health, causing many respiratory-related illnesses.

Exposure of these specially-treated fabrics to nitrogen dioxide led to a change in the electrical resistance of the reduced graphene oxide.

The fabrics were so sensitive that 30 minutes of exposure to 0.25 parts per million of nitrogen dioxide (just under five times above the acceptable standard set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency) elicited a response. The fabrics were three times as sensitive to nitrogen dioxide in air compared to another reduced graphene oxide sensor previously prepared on a flat material.

The new technology, according to the researchers, can be immediately adopted in related industries because the coating process is a simple one, making it suitable for mass production. It would allow outdoor wearers to receive relevant information about air quality. The materials could also be incorporated with air-purifying filters to act as “smart filters” that can both detect and filter harmful gas from air.

“This sensor can bring a significant change to our daily life since it was developed with flexible and widely used fibres, unlike the gas sensors invariably developed with the existing solid substrates,” says Dr Hyung-Kun Lee, who led this research initiative. The study was published in Scientific Reports.

Adventures in Laziness – Dirty Dishes

Oct 20th, 2009 | By | Category: snewz

Look at that sink! It's useless!

When it comes to committing yourself to a simple maintenance act in order to improve your home’s hygiene level, dealing with plates, cups, knives, forks, and sporks after you’ve eaten is not an overly difficult task, particularly when you consider the overall health benefits to maintaining a clean home. Who wants to get some sort of crazy disease from a mold spore in their kitchen sink? I know these things seem to be really curable on House, but they’re not usually so pleasant.

But what is the cure? How can I save myself?

How can you tell that your local newscaster is full of shit?

For a few weeks now, I have been relocated from NY to the middle of nowhere. This is a temporary change for me, but cabin fever is already setting in. Among the myriad other ways I have to cope with life, eating is a constant adventure.

The Wreck of the Rhone

A 15 minute ride takes you to the famous wreck of the RMS Rhone. This is a ship that sank in 1867 in a fierce hurricane. We snorkel the stern section of the ship that was torn in two by Black rock (locally known as the can opener).

The rudder post comes within 15 feet of the surface and below that is the 17 foot bronze propeller. We are also able to see the cargo deck, propeller shaft, mid shaft bearing and gearbox. Surrounding all this, is of course a spectacular reef system full of wreck loving fish.

Note: if the weather is too rough to visit the wreck of the Rhone, our alternative site is Blue Chromis a very colorful reef at Haulover Bay on Cooper Island. It is named Blue Chromis for the abundance of these electric blue fish that are a delight to watch as they eat the Pistol Shrimp you can hear popping in your ears, but are too small to see.

The reef is also host to Spotted moray eels, Four Eyed Butterfly fish, and schools of French Grunts.

Startup Branding Secrets: Keep It Simple

Mar 30, 2016

If you spent any time researching how to grow your business in 2015, you probably have a vague idea that  branding is something you should pay attention to. Branding is an essential ingredient to the success of any business — either you can go about it like a kindergartener finger paints, or with the precision of Van Gogh or Warhol. Startups, take heed.

Your brand is expressed through your visual identity (logo, colors, fonts, etc.), website, and social media. And the goal of any brand is to connect with a large number of people from very specific demographics (ie, your target market). With that in mind, it makes the most sense to keep things simple. Think of the most recognizable brands in pop culture  – Starbucks, McDonalds, Apple, Nike. While each of these brands has different markets and goals, they all have one thing in common: simplicity. A mermaid. Golden arches. An apple. A swoosh. The brilliance in keeping things simple is twofold:

  1. You make a clear and concise statement as to who you are and what you’re all about.
  2. You reduce the risk of alienating a portion of your market with poor design choices. (Remember, humans experience the world first and foremost with their eyes.)

Small businesses and startups can fall into the trap of wanting to be everything to everyone, and by doing so, they dilute themselves into nothing special. [bctt tweet=”When you can establish what your business is all about, who your target market is, and clearly communicate your message with precision, you become iconic.”]

Want to become iconic, yourself? You’re a mere click away, doll. Drop us a line, let’s do this.

Guess Who Has A New 'Do...

All my life, I've had straight black hair and a fear of dying, perming, or otherwise chemically processing it. I'm really lazy when it comes to grooming: I love clothes, but when it comes to hair and makeup, the former is more wash-and-wear than anything else, and the latter basically consists of a daily routine of moisturizer with SPF 30, lip balm, and mascara. Anything that could potentially damage my hair or require more maintenance than I was willing to put in was not for me.

I spent yesterday combing the pictures on Rasysa looking for a longish hairstyle with sideswept bangs that would complement my face shape and hairstyle. I never bother looking through conventional Western magazines for hairstyle inspiration because my hair is so much thicker than standard Caucasian hair that I have a hard time picturing how celebs' haircuts might work on me. Rasysa is great because 1) it's free, 2) it has thousands of hairstyle pictures, and 3) all the hair models are Asian. Rasysa was a serendipitous Google search find from a couple years back, and it's been one of my favourite bookmarked sites ever since. The picture below isn't what I printed off and brought to my hairdresser, but it's very similar.

I wasn't intending to perm my hair, but after 10 minutes of Q&A about how much maintenance a look like this would require and how damaged my hair might be when he's done, I decided to go for it. This was my first time getting a perm, and I was really surprised at how long the cut and perm and took; almost three hours went by before he was done! The process involved layering some of the bulk out of my hair, applying a relaxant and setting solution, blowdrying, more cutting, and finally a bit of styling. The result was a slight all-over wave that was subtle yet striking.

As he was working his magic, my hairdresser gave me tips for how to ensure the curly ends will look their best. As it turns out, less is more when it comes to curly hair and it would be even lower maintenance than what I was used to. Sweet!

The tips:

  • Conditioner is your friend. Apply conditioner to the ends and don't worry about rinsing all of it out; whatever's left in your hair after a quick rinse will help make it soft and define the curl. Or better yet, use a leave-in conditioner.
    Instead of rubbing your hair, grab a section of it and squeeze the water out with a towel. This will keep your hair from frizzing.

  • Blowdry the roots and let the ends air-dry. Don't comb or brush it because you'll break up the curl and create frizziness.

  • For added definition, smooth a bit of gel on the ends and finger-scrunch your hair.

I'm still getting used to the 'do because this is the first time I've ever had curly hair. It definitely turned some heads as I headed home, so maybe I'll get used to it quicker than I thought.

  1. Eeee you look so pretty! I think perming it was a great idea, b/c your hair is naturally a bit wavy so it should take to the perm quite nicely. If you condition your hair regularly, your hair should not get damaged at all; perm formulas these days are lot less harsh than before. I permed my hair once, then straight permed it a few months, and with lots of conditioning, my hair didn't get damaged at all.

  2. Unfortunately, I think some of the curl has relaxed and straightened a bit, and I can't get it to look as good as it did after the hairdresser. Sigh :(

  3. Looks fab, my dear! (prettier than the model pictured above).

Celebrating 10 years of Tiny Terror

21 January, 2016 in Gear, News

Orange's Tiny Terror 10th anniversary half stack

Orange’s Tiny Terror 10th anniversary half stack

Orange Amplification launches a 10th anniversary limited edition Tiny Terror half stack at this week’s NAMM Show in Los Angeles

Marking 10 years of the original ‘lunchbox’ amp – the Tiny Terror – Orange’s UK Custom Shop has designed and produced 110 commemorative Tiny Terror 10th Anniversary half stacks. Revealed at this week’s NAMM Show in Los Angeles, the limited edition head is a point-to-point hand wired recreation of the original.

The 10th anniversary Tiny Terror is housed in a polished mirror-effect stainless steel chassis, with its own bespoke open-back speaker cabinet finished in British Racing Green – a first for an Orange amp – and is fitted with a brace of 10-inch Celestion G10 Gold alnico speakers.

Described by Guitarist Magazine as “the most important guitar product of the last thirty years”, the Tiny Terror was credited for kick-starting the low wattage amp craze, by combining a compact design and all-valve tones. The 10th Anniversary edition half stack will come with a certificate of authenticity, signed by Orange founder and CEO Cliff Cooper.

“I like to keep things simple. The Tiny Terror is probably the amp I’m most proud of,” explains Orange Amplification designer, Ade Emsley. “The idea was to make a small amp that didn’t sound like a small amp – all valve, tight, punchy, springy – that didn’t have that ‘5 Watt single-ended amp sound’, which definitely sounds like a small amp! The Tiny Terror meant you could take a proper amp in a gigbag on the train or the bus to the show, borrow a 4×12″ cab from another band on the bill and blow everyone away.”
