Castle used for Independent Film

Created by Tobias Dawson
The castle photos were sent by Tobias Dawson. The model should be used in a small independent film. Here's what he had to say about the model:

"I am a production designer with a small independent film company Prometheus Motion Pictures. We are producing a micro-budget film entitled "folklore" that required me to build a small castle for a model Greenscreen panoramic shot. I had a little time and very little budget, and I hunt around online for a product that would allow me a good degree of flexability design and good looks and the capacity of our facility in a short time and budget frameworks.

I decided to give it a try and ordered mussels # 45, # 63, # 70 and # 201. I had a great time designing and building the model itself, which was created during about a month using your blocks and a variety of custom, I made molds. The castle is an exception in two sections, so that it can be modified to a sequence in which it must be first used, then ruinous. I thought that building a model that had removable "good" sections which can be replaced by "rubble" sections would be faster and simpler than the construction of two models.

The material was used plaster of Paris I, stuck with wood glue. As he was not going to be used in any kind of game situation, durability was secondary compared to the cost. I painted with some cheap craft acrylic paint that my friend had on, with and under spray on primer gray. I really have a great time building this thing (in fact, this is my first model stage ...) and since then I have always been tempted to buy more mussels and build more things ... It really is addictive. Very good product! "

the greener things in life

http://www.storyofstuff.com/

i heart green. I have always tried to be environmentally conscious, maybe moving to the US from Sweden made me even more aware. habits that were part of the everyday in Sweden, didn't even seem to occur to people here in America. and we've all hear about global warming and gas prices every day now, and we all know that there are things that we can do to help. but sometimes you need a little kick in the butt. and that's what I got last week, when a .lovely lady. at work introduced me to this short video.

it's called .the story of stuff.

you might have seen it already, but if you haven't, I encourage you to watch it and to share it with your friends and family. it's simple and easy to understand which makes the information accessible to everyone. it shocked me, but more importantly inspired me to do more. and in this case, doing more means using less.

I am sharing this with everyone because the environment and our current situation here on earth is a very important cause to me. and I have the power through this blog to influence others. so, I have made the decision to focus more of my blogging efforts towards .the greener things in life. as I set out to educate myself about greener options for my lifestyle, I look forward to sharing it with you.

below is a good list to start with. .10 things you can do. to save on energy and resources.

10 things you can do

10 Little and Big Things You Can Do

1. Power down! A great deal of the resources we use and the waste we create is in the energy we consume. Look for opportunities in your life to significantly reduce energy use: drive less, fly less, turn off lights, buy local seasonal food (food takes energy to grow, package, store and transport), wear a sweater instead of turning up the heat, use a clothesline instead of a dryer, vacation closer to home, buy used or borrow things before buying new, recycle. All these things save energy and save you money. And, if you can switch to alternative energy by supporting a company that sells green energy to the grid or by installing solar panels on your home, bravo!
2. Waste less. Per capita waste production in the U.S. just keeps growing. There are hundreds of opportunities each day to nurture a Zero Waste culture in your home, school, workplace, church, community. This takes developing new habits which soon become second nature. Use both sides of the paper, carry your own mugs and shopping bags, get printer cartridges refilled instead of replaced, compost food scraps, avoid bottled water and other over packaged products, upgrade computers rather than buying new ones, repair and mend rather than replace….the list is endless! The more we visibly engage in re-use over wasting, the more we cultivate a new cultural norm, or actually, reclaim an old one!
3. Talk to everyone about these issues. At school, your neighbors, in line at the supermarket, on the bus…A student once asked Cesar Chavez how he organized. He said, “First, I talk to one person. Then I talk to another person.” “No,” said the student, “how do you organize?” Chavez answered, “First I talk to one person. Then I talk to another person.” You get the point. Talking about these issues raises awareness, builds community and can inspire others to action.
4. Make Your Voice Heard. Write letters to the editor and submit articles to local press. In the last two years, and especially with Al Gore winning the Nobel Peace Prize, the media has been forced to write about Climate Change. As individuals, we can influence the media to better represent other important issues as well. Letters to the editor are a great way to help newspaper readers make connections they might not make without your help. Also local papers are often willing to print book and film reviews, interviews and articles by community members. Let’s get the issues we care about in the news.
5. DeTox your body, DeTox your home, and DeTox the Economy. Many of today’s consumer products – from children’s pajamas to lipstick – contain toxic chemical additives that simply aren’t necessary. Research online (for example, http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/) before you buy to be sure you’re not inadvertently introducing toxics into your home and body. Then tell your friends about toxics in consumer products. Together, ask the businesses why they’re using toxic chemicals without any warning labels. And ask your elected officials why they are permitting this practice. The European Union has adopted strong policies that require toxics to be removed from many products. So, while our electronic gadgets and cosmetics have toxics in them, people in Europe can buy the same things toxics-free. Let’s demand the same thing here. Getting the toxics out of production at the source is the best way to ensure they don’t get into any home and body.
6. Unplug (the TV and internet) and Plug In (the community). The average person in the U.S. watches T.V. over 4 hours a day. Four hours per day filled with messages about stuff we should buy. That is four hours a day that could be spent with family, friends and in our community. On-line activism is a good start, but spending time in face-to-face civic or community activities strengthens the community and many studies show that a stronger community is a source of social and logistical support, greater security and happiness. A strong community is also critical to having a strong, active democracy.
7. Park your car and walk…and when necessary MARCH! Car-centric land use policies and life styles lead to more greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel extraction, conversion of agricultural and wildlands to roads and parking lots. Driving less and walking more is good for the climate, the planet, your health, and your wallet. But sometimes we don’t have an option to leave the car home because of inadequate bike lanes or public transportation options. Then, we may need to march, to join with others to demand sustainable transportation options. Throughout U.S. history, peaceful non-violent marches have played a powerful role in raising awareness about issues, mobilizing people, and sending messages to decision makers.
8. Change your lightbulbs…and then, change your paradigm. Changing lightbulbs is quick and easy. Energy efficient lightbulbs use 75% less energy and last 10 times longer than conventional ones. That's a no-brainer. But changing lightbulbs is just tinkering at the margins of a fundamentally flawed system unless we also change our paradigm. A paradigm is a collection of assumptions, concepts, beliefs, and values that together make up a community’s way of viewing reality. Our current paradigm dictates that more stuff is better, that infinite economic growth is desirable and possible, and that pollution is the price of progress. To really turn things around, we need to nurture a different paradigm based on the values of sustainability, justice, health, and community.
9. Recycle your trash…and, recycle your elected officials. Recycling saves energy and reduces both waste and the pressure to harvest and mine new stuff. Unfortunately, many cities still don’t have adequate recycling systems in place. In that case you can usually find some recycling options in the phone book to start recycling while you’re pressuring your local government to support recycling city-wide. Also, many products – for example, most electronics - are designed not to be recycled or contain toxics so recycling is hazardous. In these cases, we need to lobby government to prohibit toxics in consumer products and to enact Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, as is happening in Europe. EPR is a policy which holds producers responsible for the entire lifecycle of their products, so that electronics company who use toxics in their products, have to take them back. That is a great incentive for them to get the toxics out!
10. Buy Green, Buy Fair, Buy Local, Buy Used, and most importantly, Buy Less. Shopping is not the solution to the environmental problems we currently face because the real changes we need just aren’t for sale in even the greenest shop. But, when we do shop, we should ensure our dollars support businesses that protect the environment and worker rights. Look beyond vague claims on packages like “all natural” to find hard facts. Is it organic? Is it free of super-toxic PVC plastic? When you can, buy local products from local stores, which keeps more of our hard earned money in the community. Buying used items keeps them out of the trash and avoids the upstream waste created during extraction and production. But, buying less may be the best option of all. Less pollution. Less Waste. Less time working to pay for the stuff. Sometimes, less really is more.

Exterior Design

When you are trying to build a home, most people have a tendency to focus on internal planning for exterior leaves the house design a simple late in the day. However, what the others are not easy to understand, is that the best exterior design is the first impression that a new home should turn their heads in their direction.

A number of home owners use huge amounts of money and time for internal planning and design of the floor. But what they forget is no matter how beautiful the house looks inside, it may simply be let down, which is attracted by the exterior. Some people, especially those who intend to build houses on places where there is an inherent unappealing around the reluctance to accept that there is quite a lot of anything else they can do than to accept a fact of life. However, the building exterior designs, which are well-landscaped garden and planned to reduce if not eliminate the bareness of the surrounding vicinity.

Okay, so we have already pointed out, that the exterior design is just as important as what is inside. But it is not at all easy as you thought that it would be. When you try to rehabilitate what's outside, there are more factors that must be taken into account, and more decisions to be made. How would you like to outside look like? What is the exterior design of the building Can you give? What motive would you rather have been in such a way that you can organise a oman outside the home color design? All of these are a few of the many judgments that you have to pass. However, most of the design would be based on how much time and money are you going to share. There are tonnes of exterior design of the components that you need to be considered, and here are a few of them.

Exterior Lighting Design

The outside of your home should always be well lit. If you believe that this is an easy task, think again. Conclusion external design should be careful planning, good lighting. In fact, a well-designed lighting plan is a very essential part of the outdoors.

Door Design

This would be a more or less supported by its own theme. If you want to choose a more futuristic ambience, you ought to be considered, glass and sliding doors. Established exterior design of entry by using the full suite of doors or gates would be the first asia, the visitors are coming from everywhere.

Texture Exterior Design

This refers to the type of models related to the usual panel encourages the natural fell from the tree. They may be smooth, deeply embossed, an open, wood grain, etc. And when you have selected the type of texture you want to work, you can then decide what to design exterior house paint would be most appropriate.

Exterior Architectural Design

This is by far the most important aspect that you've carefully. This serves as the plan is in the whole of the external models. Would you want the front porch or back porch overlooking the pool? This is basically full of design concept. All of the theme of the proposals and exterior house design ideas to be incorporated to make one stunning looking house.

When planning a complete outdoors, where there are so many resources that you may want to try to seek help. Internet plays a useful tool for checking the sample external emergency plan. And thanks for the eve of the technology, the exterior design of the software emerged that can help you visualize and see the finished product oman proposed the concept.

History, if the exterior design may be unknown, but the transition has been very clear from. More people are hooked with the aesthetics, only to find out that there are more coming.

Color and Harmony Home

Color and Harmony Home
Understanding Color Harmonies

Color wheel is a simple but effective tool that allows you to create the perfect color combination. Color wheel is divided into 12 parts. These colors are placed in a circle, so that it is easier to see how the combinations can be developed.

The following is the most popular color harmonies:

* Analogous colors are the colors next to each other, the color wheel. These colors work well together when you are looking to limit the contrast and create a calm, serene color combination. These combinations usually include 3 color.
* Complementary colors are directly opposite each other in the color wheel. The complementary combination of only 2 colors, for example, is a red and green. These colors, combined with the most contrast, especially when they are used to their sense of the most vibrant form.
* A Triad is the case where you have chosen the color, and instead used to supplement, when you use the two colors on both sides of complementary color, and the result is a 3-color combination, which is less contrast.

Even if there is more color harmonies other than these three, this will be the most powerful and most frequently used for exterior combinations. The relations to ensure a balance and it is pleasing to the eye. Keep in mind that not all the colors should be used as one, a single color should dominate, or to take a leading role, while others play a supporting role, while retaining the uniqueness of oman.
Warm vs. Cool colors

Colors are divided into warm and cool tones, which is based on their position in the color spectrum. Reds, yellows and oranges make up the warm side of the spectrum, while the blues, purples and greens cover the cooler tones.

Warm colors to bring the excitement. When compared to their responses to cooler, warm colors seem larger, more visible and more easily.

Cool colors are relaxing and comforting. Often, cooler shades used in more northern regions of the country, while warmer colors have become more prominent in the south. This is the result of the quality of the natural light of each region, and colors can be found in each of the natural environment.

PORTERSVILLE, Pa., May 28 (SEND2PRESS newswire) - With the price of oil rise, smart consumer buys resin furniture now, says Adams Mfg. Corp. Although stacking chairs are always a good value, next year the price of resin furniture will increase. "I'm buying my stack Adirondacks now", say those who want to experience savings.

Caption: resin furniture in pool settingThese consumers know that the seats in stores now bought last year, when the price of raw materials was low. These prices are all going until next year because the price of oil continues to grow.

Resin furniture is always a bargain. It does not need to be painted, not crack or split like wood, and not oxidize and rust like metal. And, it is 100% recyclable.

For the rest of this summer, resin furniture is cheaper than it ever will be. The benefit of these people are storing up for next year. It is the most intelligent thing to do, says Adams Mfg. As a result, resin furniture is moving from the stores faster than ever before.

According to the company: "If you see it, and you think you'll need it, buy it now, but it is cheaper." Alert consumers know a bargain when they see one.

Founded in 1981, Adams Mfg. pride in providing high-quality, safe products that consumers in the United States. In addition to casual furniture, Adams also produces Christmas decorating accessories, pads, and magnets. The company holds exclusive patents on many of its objects.

By Stephani L. Miller

On 2 May and 3, 2008, Cyclone Nargis roztrhaný across the southern part of the Union of Myanmar (also known as Burma) in Southeast Asia, destroying 95 percent of buildings, killing an estimated 127990 people and displacing more than 2 million people, according to the American Red Cross . In a few days later, the nonprofit Architecture for Humanity activated fundraising efforts to promote volunteer architects, engineers and other experts in the construction industry in-country as reconstruction begins.

In 24 hours, San Francisco-based organization had raised $ 10000, 48 hours after the collection started, the total doubled. "That tells you what is the design community can do when you together," says co-founder and executive director Kate Stohr.

As a follow-up to 12 May 2008, 7.9 earthquake leveled that a large part of the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, the organization calls for architects to help after the construction information, links to such information, and earthquake-resistant design strategies to its open architecture network to support the building of architects and experts on the ground China, the rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts. Post-disaster, these experts often work without immediate access to design libraries and technical resources that most architects working in the office available.

If the local professional resources are insufficient, Architecture for Humanity-supported teams to develop low-cost housing and more community-scale solutions that are regionally and contextually appropriate for the area in crisis-such as destroyed, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes or a grant engineering support for organizations working on reconstruction of communities. In the post-disaster situation in Myanmar, "our main objectives would be to provide architecture and design services in the ways they're most needed," said Stohr.

This means that schools, community rooms, hospitals and civic buildings, which will serve those who need it sectors of society are the first projects targeted. "This is the meat and potatoes of what enables the community to work," he says. "They often can not even begin to do large-scale housing works until you have the community room for meetings and effective delivery of services."

Architecture for Humanity began mobilization project teams, which will be paid their design services and expertise to Myanmar on the rebuilding effort. The body will then reach out to other relief organizations to offer in-country partnerships.

Stohr expects that the organisation of work in Myanmar will be far more complex than previous attempts because the country has concluded the government doors to foreign aid of all, but also other Asian countries.

Architecture for Humanity continue to raise funds to support efforts in Myanmar. Ideally, Stohr said its leadership would like to achieve the same level of involvement is controlled by the post-Katrina efforts, not only to promote professional designers, but the financing of construction work as well. This allows the organization to monitor the work and ensure that structures are built under the project.

The widespread destruction of houses and other buildings in Myanmar from the cyclone and the absolute devastation wrought by the earthquake and aftershocks in China may serve as a wake-are prompted to those governments and others around the world, that buildings should be constructed so as to better deal with extreme weather and geological events.

One way, the average architects can help them resolve their housing for the storm, flood, earthquake zones and the open architecture network (www.openarchitecturenetwork.org), which is available for those who work on projects of reconstruction in disaster areas around the the world.

Cambridge Chamber praised for "classic yet equipped high-tech design

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - January 8 (SEND2PRESS newswire) - A master bathroom designed and built by Charlie Allen Restorations for a 1853 Greek Revival house in Cambridge is called "Bathroom of the Year" in Boston Globe Magazine's "Dream Home 2007" competition. The new bathroom was praised for his "creative use of space and light," and a "classic yet equipped high-tech design.

The homeowners, a young, growing families, desperately needed the new space. Previously, the only bathroom in their three-story home was on the ground floor, on the other hand, and one word away from the master bedroom. Charlie Allen Restorations is responsible for the introduction of a master bath that would feature both modern amenities and a design that complemented the house of the 19th-century charm.

Working with architect Tom Downer, Charlie Allen Restorations team eliminated an existing bedroom and manufactured according to a functional and inviting master bath and dressing room in its place. The highlight of the new master bathroom has a large, glass-in shower that doubles as a steam bath. Radiant floor heating and an electric towel warmer add to the Board of Appeal-in particular the cold winter morning. Lichtbeuk mat glass windows and doors flood the bathroom with abundant natural lighting of the adjacent floor to ceiling windows.

In the dressing room, large cabinets, wall cubbies, and custom-designed, furniture-quality armoires have been introduced to improve the storage for the family. Carefully selected, period-appropriate hardware, doors, base molding, and wide planked, white oak floors were introduced throughout both areas.

In addition to Downer, other partners of the project includes the demolition and disposal company Mark One, Inc., HVAC specialists Keyes North Atlantic Ocean, Puccio Electric, Van Millwork, and the cleaning company Surfaceworks.

"We are very proud of this bathroom recognized by the Boston Globe Magazine," says Charlie Allen, founder of the award-winning company. "It is a great validation of our belief that-with careful planning new technologies and historical design and architecture can coexist beautifully."

Charlie Allen Restorations is an award-winning contractor specializing in the seamless integration of modern amenities in the period of housing while preserving original details. Charlie Allen Restorations combines expert-based traders and project management techniques to deliver exceptional customer satisfaction.

Design your own house

Would you like the design of your own home? Actually it is very simple that you think. Since you are going to use your house is quite clear that you have the designs themselves. I am not saying that you need to learn all the technical information about creating drawings and other structures, but you can easily visualize how the shape of your house looks.

Everyone is a dreamer, right? so you can make use of very simple sketches to explain the designer exactly what you want in your house. You can an architect in the design of your house when choosing colors, materials, planning environment as a garden or a patio.

Depending on your preferences / designer can not really the various alternatives of the actual home design plans for you. But to ensure that this happens you must have a very clear idea of you want your house like. You can ask yourself a lot, so that your ideas become clear.

Let us look at some of these factors in detail.

Factors affecting the growth of a house designs.

A good house design is a combination of many factors, such as the function, aesthetics, economy, services and maintenance. If you follow and respect each of these factors it will be easier for the designer to come up with a great house. You can yourself the following questions for the design of a house.

If a homeowner the following questions will have a much greater weight if the draft is concerned.

*

How many people will use the origin?
*

How many people in the house were members deserve?
*

Have you or any of your relatives have a special hobby like gardening. Are you looking for a way to use your own garden to get there?
*

What is the monthly income of all members combined?
*

Do you have a pet as a family member?
*

Do you have a special attraction of a certain form of color schemes? If so, it may be used as a "theme" for your house?
*

Are you an antique collector? if so, we can use it as an exceptional setting factor for home interiors.
*

Do you remember a house that you've seen somewhere else where you very much, for example, on your friends or in a movie? This can be used effectively for designing your own house.
*

And much more ....

You see, all these questions have one thing in common, they talk about you. We have still not on the details of the costs and materials and construction technology yet, because that is not really important. I try to clear your mind about what you want in your interior. Finally, a house has everything to do with your comfort zone, you are going to use. Therefore, much more needed to urinate in yourself and look at your likes and dislikes first. If you write the answers to this question na piece of paper, everything will start falling in the right place. The list of questions and answers that you provide will be a big help to create the final plan of origin.

Do not forget there is only one thing is true.

Home interior design Idea # 1

Just have to look at this 3d presentation of the window treatment. How can a simple window can be converted into an interesting feature of using the "arch" ad to changing the wall texture. In the last plain window, when changing the arched window will increase interest to the whole of the state. The texture of the wall will help to boost the form of the window.

Home interior design Idea # 2

Try adding small and medium-side statues home in selected locations, such as under a staircase or in corners of a living room. You'll need to immediately increase the humane treatment of experience at home and more space for the whole of the room. Depending on what the theme, using your home, you have a lot of choices available.

Here are some recommendations on Amazon.com

Patina Lady statue Copper Finish Samurai Warrior Archer Japanese statuette Martial Arts Gorgeous Silver Finish Figural Sexy Woman Statue 21 "

Home interior design Idea # 3

Try changing the flooring pattern of just one room to start and you can see immediately uplift, decorative style. This is due to the fact that the usual eye-level, always grabs the porch of the model have been standing in the normal position. Floors model can be changed by using the carpet to start. The best asia carpets is that you can remove them easily, if you do not like them.

Home Interior Design Idea

Home Interior Design Idea

Each design is at home two parts attached to it, the exteriors and interiors. Both exteriors and interiors are dependent on each other. external appearance of buildings is governed by what is inside the house. For example, if the home has a round plan will be reflected in the interior, as regards the shape of the furniture is concerned.

Best practice is to follow a "theme" proposal for both exteriors and interiors. The home interior can be easily fed through a simple architectural elements.

life happens

: : life happens and it's hard to predict what's coming next. I had visualized myself having lots of time on my hands these past few weeks to work on getting our home organized....but have only been left with a few hours here and there. i know I promised pictures, and these are not the ones I visualized, and there will be more, however I won't promise when.

these show some snapshots of our wonderful balcony at the front of the house [there's a second one in the back] where we are currently enjoying all of our evenings. a pretty rose, two lemon trees, a mango tree and some rocks from our favorite new england coastal town makes the balcony our own little garden haven.

below that are some pictures from my spinach risotto making the other night. my new favorite sauce pan, a white beauty, found at a flea market in Virginia. and the cooking mess in our kitchen. by the way, .jamie oliver. rocks! we use his cookbook almost every day .

life also comes with unexpected news every day. first the happy ones, that another one of my best friends is getting married in Sweden. I couldn't be happier for them! almost ten years of love to celebrate there.

then followed by the sad news that my wonderful grandmother [.mormor.] passed away. she was such a joy in all of our lives. I was far from her, but always felt close. we had become even closer over the past few years. she never let me run out of her homemade almond biscotti. they would come delivered in the mail or were brought over by family members. I feel so lucky to still have a whole box left!! I eat them slowly, one at a time, dipping them in raspberry lemonade [hallon saft], because according to .mormor. that was the best way to enjoy them, and I think of her. she will always be here with us, in all the memories we have of her.
