A gem of a design book
An excellent book on the basics of graphic design. One of the hardest books to find (despite the seeming abundance of them being published) is a well rounded book of design that is useful to both the beginning and advanced student of graphic design. This book provides a strong overview of topics ranging from the pragmatic (project briefs, client interaction) and the technical (grids, hierarchies, typography) to the elusive (intuition, conceptualization). It also provides specific information (anatomy of grids, use of em and en dashes, classification of typefaces) that I've had to go to separate books for in the past. As the title implies though, it does not cover issues that don't directly relate to graphic layouts (e.g. logos, signage, websites) though many of the principles can be applied to them. It also does not delve deeply into color systems, just looking at the role of color in hierarchies and compositions.I find the title slightly misleading in that it is not what...

Great balance
The Layout Workbook if not only thorough in covering the fundamentals of designing a layout, but in addition the second half of the book contains a gallery of examples of successful layout.Another of my favorite features is that the author not only addresses the topics like "grid" and "space" but they also cover the mental process behind design; there is a section just about intuition and creativity.Above all the book was enjoyable to read - not just informative.

Perfect product for the need
Dykem layout fluid is a must-have if you are building any prototype out of metal. It is difficult to hold tolerances of .001" (one thousandth of an inch if you are not used to reading a caliper/micrometer), but using layout fluid and an optical center punch, I am able to maintain that tolerance all day. The liquid dries incredibly fast too. It has a strong odor while wet, but if you are doing metal work, you already know to have good ventilation. I switch back and forth between the pink and the blue depending on availability and lighting conditions, but the product never lets me down. I hope this helps you in your decision to buy the product. You will not be disappointed.

Whats to say... It's Dykem and it's Layout Fluid
Dykem seems to be the name for layout fluid just as in a 'Kleenex' or a 'Crecent Wrench' or even 'Chan-l-locs'. Great stuff does what it's supposed to do!

Every shop has to have some of this stuff.
Bought this on Amazon and it arrived quickly. Dykem is essential to laying out your work. I use mine for cylinder head porting. The red is awesome too. I like the blue for aluminum.

Best keyboard cover for Macbooks out there
Pros--VERY thin, I hardly notice that it's installed. Unlike those silicone covers.-Keyboard lights up clearly, doesn't impede the light at all.-Takes 2 minutes to get used to. It definitely doesn't feel like a bare keyboard but it doesn't feel like it's a covered keyboard either.Cons--Kinda pricey for a very thin piece of industrial plastic. The price might be high due to the fact that its molded SPECIFICALLY for macbook keyboards. Because it's an EXACT fit.-DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT fold or crush this cover. keep the original box if you need to store it away. Unlike silicon this product WILL WRINKLE. I decided to clean mine because it does feel sticky after long term use. I cleaned it with soap and water and i decided to WRING it out. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE. the product had wrinkles that would not disappear. I was too cheap to buy a new one so i have to live with annoying wrinkles.Other than that..this is hands down the best keyboard...

Best one I've tried
I got one to try after three or so months of using a standard silicone cover that included the palm guard, so this is a direct pro/con of the two different ones.First, this one is much easier to type on. Not that it was difficult to type on the other, you just had to be a little more deliberate. Really the only trouble I had typing consistently was my password, which is 15 characters, and I can type it instantly on a normal keyboard, but moving that fast on the silicone sometimes didn't quite let the characters register right. The other downside to the full silicone one was that it didn't fit very well - the silicone hung over the sides and front, so it was easy to catch while moving my hands around, or my sleeves would lift the edge enough to make it start rolling up under me. And since I do touch type, sometimes the little bit of stick of the palms on the palmguard part of the silicone would keep the hand from moving quite where I wanted it to be. I adapted to it...

Almost perfect
I bought this for my 2.0GHz Unibody Mac. I have been using it for a week now. My thoughts:> It is NOT a perfect fit. But close enough. Does not fit perfectly near the function keys. But where you'd hit the keys frequently - i.e the letters and the space bar, it fits well.> Takes a while to get used to because if you push your finger over a key, chances are the CG will flip momentarily.> Does not stick to the aluminum surface. Which is good and bad. Good because it doesn't leave any sticky residue and can be cleaned. Bad because it flips like mentioned earlier. Because it is so easy to flip, I am not sure how protective it can be against liquid spills.> Have not noticed any heat issues so far.> Muffles sound when you type, which is a good side effect.> Is very clear. The silicone feels high quality. But I think it is over priced.And yea, it does protect your key board from dust.

High Speed Love
A really good episode near the end.This episode opens with Jeremy driving an Australian car around the track. He loves it, says it is a 30,000 pound cheaper BMW M5. It's sold in England as a Vauxhall.Jeremy and James go on a mission to find the first car in history that had all the controls in the place we have come to expect them. It's a really nice segment thinking that a steering wheel, accelerator, brake, clutch, and gear shift wasn't always where you know them. They actually drive all the cars, some really ancient. Of course Jeremy has to finally claim that a British car was the first car brought to the masses, an Austin; and that the Cadillac wasn't the first car.James Blunt is the star in the reasonable car. The interview is nice. James actually gives back the bashing from Jeremy, its fun to listen to the sparring.One of the best segments I'd say I've ever seen on British Top Gear is where Hammonds is sent to drive a real live...

Perfect Size For In The Home Fun
I bought this for my daughter's 21st birthday party (casino night theme).I built a cardboard enclosure and sat it up on a 3' X 6' table. Dropped in the felt and had an excellent scaled down version of a craps table. This was the biggest hit of the party. Felt seems to be of good quality and all markings were heavy and clear. Highly recommend for parties or just goofing around at home.

I don't do Facebook so if YOU do- go to EP's facebook page and tell them you heard about this email from 2Peas(cherrypicker)'s email and get YOURSELF entered. EP is doing another WIN it before you can BUY it giveaway again. If you win- you better tell me. . Wouldn't it be cool is 8 Peas won.

It's either going to be, go all out and buy the Power Palette OR buy the two sets of papers (solid/printed) and also the Cricut, so I can cut out which cut I want instead of having to use what's on the stickers. 2--Would you buy just the two sets of papers along with the Cricut to make the album or just buy the whole Power Palette. If I end up buying the papers to use with the Cricut cartridge how well would the brown papers/stickers match if I used some red accents. I'm going to be making a scrapbook album for my cousin who is getting married next month, she just doesn't know it yet But her bridal shower is Sunday and I'm giving her the scrapbook & explaining that I'll be making the album for her after the... I see if you buy the whole thing that all the papers, stickers, ribbon, etc match. Not sure if she's having a photo album done by the photographer or just going to develop the ones that she's likes. Nine out of ten times I'll probably use the photos that we're taking throughout the day in the album with maybe a few of the ones from the photographer. Just looking for some insight on what to buy.

Do I agree with recent decisions Best Buy has made, like redesigning stores to mimic Apple and Verizon storefronts, turning over software management to a third party (Anderson Merchandisers) and placing discs in the back of the store, where the... I tend to agree with a recent blog posting by NPD Group analyst Stephen Baker that maintains Best Buy, despite it's recent troubles, isn't headed for the scrap heap just yet. They visit a Best Buy store to get a close-up, hands-on look at the merchandise, and then head home to place their order from an online merchant with better prices and no sales tax. What Best Buy has working in its favor is a recognizable brand, reputation for quality and, quite, quite frankly, the fact it is the last major CE chain standing. Maybe they even place their order on the spot from their smartphone, while they're still inside the Best Buy store. First of all, as Baker correctly notes, the situation at Best Buy isn't nearly as dire as it's been made out to be in the mainstream press. As for Best Buy, it's already won, having triumphed over the weaker link in the CE world, Circuit City, right around a decade ago.

I tried to post the link on all mentioned threads, but wanted to start a new post containing it in hopes that those of you wanting it didn't miss it. So, here it is listed below and please invite all your scrappy friends to join too. I had mentioned in a few posts my Facebook group The Scrap Yard which I started to buy, sell and trade unwanted scrappy items and several of you wonderful Peas asked for the link.
