Unusual Typography

I love typography. I've been online lately searching for typography for MECCA's websites and branding. Here are some of my favorites, though not for the website. Check out this link for letters made from Google Earth images http://www.graphic-design.com/typography/fonts/delicious-typography-discoveries

For the website, I'm thinking sans serif and homemade looking, yet not decorative. Has to be super easy to read. Maybe this one:

Where Have You Been? Where Do You Want to Go?

I sometimes think about places I'd like to explore. Especially during Oregon's long winters, it helps me cope to have adventures in my mind. Really, there are too many places to list here, so instead I'll talk about some unusual vacation options for those who have the time and the money!

1. Quebec's Ice Hotel: Pay a lot of money to sleep on a bed made of ice! Use a toilet made of ice! Pay a lot of money to be very cold! But it looks beautful--all that ice.

2. For $200,000 per person, SpaceShipTwo (built by Scaled Composites in Mojave, California) will carry just six passengers in reclining seats for the 2.5-hour flight to the edge of Earth (about 60,000 feet). There they can gaze at the curvature of the Earth and the cosmos above.

3. Dubai: Mystery Island, the still-secret site will spread over 225 acres and comprise 24 underwater suites, each submerged in 40 feet of water. The facility will also include a revolving restaurant and bar, a spa, and 27 over-water bungalows with see-through floors. The price: $15,000 per person for seven days, which includes two nights in a beach villa, two nights in an over-water bungalow and two nights in an underwater suite.

4. Out 'n' About Treehouse Resort: Ah, one my daughter has actually been to (well, just to use the ziplines) & that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Located in Siskyou National Forest, close to Cave Junction. You can actually stay there--for family of 4--for about $200 per night! According to the website: There is an inherent risk associated visiting a total of 18 different treehouses and a host of platforms (a few almost 40+ feet up the tree), a few child size forts, seven swinging bridges (8' to 32' off the ground and 12' to 90' long), five swings plus the Giant Tarzan, 20 flights of stairs, four ladders and an unbeatable collection of zipline courses with over a mile of TreehouseZiplines.

Now, not to be outdone by lack of time and money, I will list 4 "out-of-the-box" things I could do in Eugene area really cheap!

1. Visit the Whiteaker Neighborhood with my camera and record a photo journey. Lots of creativity in this neighborhood. Have a late breakfast at Brown Betty's Cafe.

2. Hop a freight train at the train yard, get off in the Glenwood area, visit BRING recycling, then take the EmEx back downtown.

3. Go on a mural hunt: track down just how many murals this town has!

4. Bike to Springfield from Eugene, along the river. Explore Spgld's new and improved downtown area. Eat at the new Mom's Place Soul Food Restaurant.

Don't worry friends, I probably won't do the hop the frieght train one, although I am curious!

Fun Stuff from a 1953 Cookbook

The Modern Family Cookbook by Meta Given

I swear, if you want to know what life is about during any given era, just open up a cookbook!
The introduction to this one says, "Mrs. Homemaker, this book is written for you...in full appreciation of your problems of running a house." The Meal Planner's Creed includes: "My family's enjoyment of food is my responsibility; the health of my family is in my care; my family's health, security, and pleasure depend on my skill in planning meals." Remember, this was in the Eisenhower era, when women had a taste of the work world during the war but were strongly encouraged to go back to their "domestic sphere" and let the men have the jobs.

In the Candy section, Given writes that candy can be good for children as long as it doesn't interfere with them eating their regular meals, but she says to the women, "as for yourself, Mother--just take a good look in the mirror and make your own decision!" I only agree with the make your own decision part.

Check out the recipes: Under sandwiches (more commentary by the author, "Take women's funny hats and fussy party sandwiches out of the world and what would men have to laugh about?") there's bacon and peanut butter sandwiches, ham and banana sandwiches, and broiled sardine sandwiches. I'm gonna base on the broiled sardine sandwich, thanks much.

The soup section isn't bad--lentil, navy bean, onion, corn chowder, clam chowder, etc.--as is the dessert section--Dutch Apple Cake, Brown Petty, Old Fashioned Rice Pudding.

I love cookbooks and this one is fun to read both for its recipes and for the commentary by the author.

Vaux Swifts

In honor of seeing my first Vaux Swift roost last night, here is some info about the Vaux Swifts. Turns out Portland is the scene of the largest roost in the world--over 30,000 birds. The one I saw last night in Eugene surely had at least 15,000. Turns out not all of them could fit into the chimney and had to fly away (to find another roosting site?) ~Karol

Like film footage of a smoking chimney played in reverse, the Vaux’s Swifts begin to descend, first one, then a few more, then dozens, then hundreds in a continuous swirl. Each bird drops into the chimney with its wings held high, parachuting feet first, to catch the rough interior, where it will hang by its claws, upright for the night.These small, dark, streamlined birds are summer visitors from Central America. At first glance, they look something like small, dark swallows. One of the largest known Vaux’s Swift roosts in the world – over 30,000 birds – can be seen each September in Portland, Oregon, in a chimney at Chapman Elementary School. http://www.birdnote.org/birdnote-transcript.cfm?id=1680

Eugene, Oregon: While there are a number of sites (one previously reported) in the Eugene Area, the granddaddy and most likely second largest in the state is Agate Hall on the University of Oregon campus. The Lane County Audubon has been involved here for years. With the arrival of Nicole Nielson-Pinus and the guidance of Maeve Sowles this huge braced brick chimney should be in good hands.A serious and important estimate of 4000-6000 swifts on 9/13 was provided by UO Biology Professor Peter Wetherwax

OREGON STATE 2008 VAUX'S HAPPENING ROOST SITES

Portland, Oregon: Chapman Elementary School is likely the largest Vaux's Swift roost site in NA. Portland Audubon has developed and promoted this site into a month long September wildlife spectacle. Their 9/13/08 count was a conservative 10,500. Website athttp://www.audubonportland.org/local-birding/swiftwatch

All About Parades

In honor of the Eugene Celebration Parade, today's blog entry will feature misc. info about parades.

from wikipedia: The longest parade in the world is the Marksmen's Parade that takes place in Hanover every year during the Schützenfest. The parade is 12 kilometres long with more than 12,000 participants from all over the world, among them more than 100 bands and around 70 floats and carriages.

Parade floats were first introduced in the Middle Ages when churches used pageant wagons as movable scenery for passion plays. Artisan guilds were responsible for building the pageant wagons for their specified craft. The wagons were pulled throughout the town, most notably during Corpus Christi in which up to 48 wagons were used, one for each play in the Corpus Christi cycle. The name is derived from the first floats, which were decorated barges that were towed along canals with ropes held by parade marchers on the shore.

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade: Macy's is the world's second largest consumer of helium. The United States government is the first. Due to a helium shortage in 1958, the balloons are brought down Broadway on cranes. Santa Claus has ended the parade every year except 1933, the only year in which he led the parade. The parade was cancelled in 1942, 1943, and 1944 due to World War II. (http://www.nyctrip.com/Pages/index.aspx?PageID=161)

The Tournament of Roses Parade: The first Tournament of Roses was stagedin 1890 by members of Pasadena'sValley Hunt Club, former residentsof the East and Midwest eager toshowcase their new home's mild winter weather. In 1902, the Tournament of Roses decided to enhance the day’s festivities by adding a football game – the first post season college football game ever held.

Making Pancakes

Did you know that some methods of cooking are so easy now they will remind you of a Wallace and Gromit invention?

Check out the Chefstack Automatic Pancake Machine, which can make 4-inch size pancakes from no-mess batter pouches. And it only takes about 30 seconds as the flapjacks get cooked and stacked assembly style while you’re off doing something else. The machine is about the size of microwave oven and has already been proven quite popular with coffee shops, cafeterias, convenience stores, and other small businesses in Australia and New Zealand.

As if making pancakes was difficult, seeing as how we have so many great mixes in the grocery store. Even making it from scratch isn't that labor intensive. But cleaning up isn't fun!

So, in my research for this blog, I also came across a bit of information about pancakes from around the world. Pancakes take many more forms than we may think: they're really just cakes cooked on the grill rather than in the oven. Here are a few from Cooks.com

Calder's Circus

A

Alexander Calder (1898-1976) Calder's Circus, 1926-31Mixed media: wire, wood, metal, cloth, yarn, paper, cardboard, leather, string, rubber tubing, corks, buttons, rhinestones, pipe cleaners, and bottle caps, 54 x 94 1/4 x 94 1/4 in. (137.2 x 239.4 x 239.4 cm)

Karol's note: Calder is one of my favorite artists. I only learned about his circus creation a few years ago from my friend Susan. Since then, I've read the book about why and how he created it. I'm inspired by his creative vision. Maybe it's because I still feel like a kid at heart oftentimes that this kind of performance art appeals to me. Or maybe it's that he uses everyday objects to create a miniturized version of an iconic American event. Or maybe I don't even need a reason!

Adam Weinberg from the Whitney Museum: Alexander Calder magically breathed life into inanimate objects, using wire and recycled materials to create this army of circus characters. Beginning in 1927, Calder performed the Circus in Paris, New York, and elsewhere. He would issue invitations to his guests, who would sit on makeshift bleachers munching peanuts, just like the real circus. With the crash of cymbals and music from an old gramophone, the circus would begin. Many of the individual circus animals and performers include mechanized parts—Calder was originally trained as a mechanical engineer. It wasn't the tricks or gimmicks of the circus that appealed to Calder, but the dynamic movement of bodies in space. He first went to the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey circus in 1925. He was inspired by the mechanics of the circus and made hundreds of drawings of the equipment and the ropes and the guy wires for the tents. Later in his career, Calder turned his attention to more abstract work. In 1930, he visited the studio of artist Piet Mondrian. He was delighted with Mondrian's work, and later recalled, "I thought at the time how fine it would be if everything there moved." He went on to invent the mobile and other works of moving sculpture. http://www.whitney.org/www/american_voices/540/index.html

Alexander Calder (22 July 1898 – 11 November 1976), also known as Sandy Calder, was an American sculptor and artist most famous for inventing the mobile. In addition to mobile and stabile sculpture, Alexander Calder also created paintings, lithographs, toys, tapestry and jewelry. wikipedia.com

Ways to Get Around

Couldn't help it. Shelter made me think about transportation. Transportation made me think about...Big Wheels. Remember riding one of those when you were a kid? Those were the days. For a while you could get an adult-sized Big Wheel (see photo on far right). The company discontinued that model (remember how it used to tip over when going around corners? uh huh). The newer Big Wheel wannabees are like the one in the photo in the center. You can buy a Triker at http://www.bigwheelrally.com/store/adult.htm

And I'm still trying to find out what the human-powered machine I saw on the bike path a month ago was. Anyone see that goofy monstrosity? It's not a bike. It has a wheels but the guy stands upright and there is a horizontal metal pole about 7 foot from the ground connecting the two wheels. I can't find it on Google because I don't know its name! Anyone know?

Shelter

One of my favorite books is called Shelter. I know it's at the Eugene Public Library, but you may have to put in on hold as it's quite popular. The photographs inspire me to be more creative with my home furnishings. They also expand my horizons about what dwellings means to individuals and to cultures. Many of the people profiled in the book are craftspeople and artists. You'll be amazed at people's creative visions and that they can actually oftentimes make these visions concrete! I highly recommend this book. ~Karol

Here's the website, to read about or purchase the book: http://www.shelterpub.com/_shelter/shelter_book.html

Shelter, first published in 1973, but recently updated, has over 1,000 photographs of dwellings from around the world. here are some of the dwellings:

Funny & Strange Album Covers

C'mon, if you're of a certain age you probably remember funny & strange album covers like the ones below. Did you keep any? I had to keep some even though I don't have a turn table to play them on. I don't have any of the ones below, sadly, though I'd love to! But I do have a Beatle's album, Elvis Costello's Imperial Bedroom, a Nat King Cole one, and a few more I couldn't bear to part with. Include your own memories/cover photos in comments! ~Karol's comments

Spaghetti Sauce and Other Delights, from politically-incorrect comic Pat Cooper.
Pat Cooper was one of those ethnic comedians you might find performing in the Catskill mountains if you were an Italian from New York on vacation in the 60's. He specializes in the sort of politically-incorrect humor that you can't quite get away with today.
This is one of two albums I have that take-off on the ubiquitous Herb Alpert "Whipped Cream and Other Delights" cover art. The other is a disco album from the late 70's called "Sweet Cream", featuring an African-American woman striking a similar pose (similar to the original girl-with-whipped-cream, that is).

Upwards Lightning

not karol's comments: taken from BBC News---Judith Burns, reporter

Upwards lightning caught on film By Judith Burns Science and environment reporter, BBC News
Scientists have photographed "upwards lightning", a rarely-seen phenomenon where electricity from storms flows into the upper atmosphere.
During last year's Tropical Storm Cristobal, lightning reached more than 60km (40 miles) up.
Also known as "gigantic jets", these events are just as powerful as cloud-to-ground lightning bolts.
The US team of researchers also took radio measurements of the electrical charge.
The phenomenon was photographed from a field site near Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
Their work, published in Nature Geoscience, gives scientists a better understanding of this form of lightning.
Gigantic jets do not occur during every storm and scientists do not yet know what types of storm are conducive to their formation.
Substantial charge
Lead author Professor Steven Cummer, from Duke, told BBC News: "What we were able to conclusively show is that these are not just sparks that come out of the thunderstorm and travel upward and tickle the upper atmosphere.
"They actually deliver to the upper atmosphere as much electric charge as the very strong lightning strokes to ground."
The jets discharge a comparable amount of electricity to conventional lightning but the charge travels further and faster because the thinner air between the clouds and the ionosphere provides less resistance.
Gigantic jets are rarely photographed because they happen so quickly that cameras have to be trained on them exactly when they occur.
Professor Cummer caught the images of the event by chance. He had trained his camera on the sky above the storm, hoping to photograph another phenomenon known as "sprites". These are blue or red electrical discharges above storm clouds.
He is planning to install a low-light, high speed camera to capture colour images of gigantic jets, which could provide information about chemical processes and temperatures.
He said: "In fact, this one that we reported came from a tropical storm - not quite a hurricane.
"There is another hurricane bearing down on us that is about to hit the eastern seaboard of the US. You can be sure that we will be training our cameras on that, just in case we are lucky."

The second most dangerous sport...

after jumping off skyscrapers with parachutes is considered to be modern free diving, according to Alec Wilkinson's "The Deepest Dive" in this week's New Yorker magazine. "Modern free diving is a sport in which divers, on a single breath, descend hundreds of feet, into cold and darkness, and often pass out before they return....There are eight disciplines, three of which are conducted in a pool; the rest are called deep dives," Wilkinson writes.

Women's records: holding your breath under water Natalia Mochanova at 8:00 minutes

Sara Campbell holds the record for constant weight--divers must return to the surface with the weight he or she used to descend--96 meters, which took three minutes and thirty-four seconds. The men's record is 122 metres.

Who does well in this extreme sport? Well, after reading the article last night, I conclude that those who have set the records have remarkable physical talent-for instance, Sara Campbell does not feel the blood withdraw from her hands and feet, as many divers do on their way down. She feels no urge to breathe at depth, either, which is unusual. They also have great power of concentration. The most fatal danger is blacking out underwater--which happens to most of the long-distance free divers.

UNusual goings on at home

My mom had this

painting up on her wall when I was growing up. Then, years later, LeeAnn and I got two kittens who almost exactly matched what the kittens in the paintings looked like. Then my mom gave me this picture for my wall. A little unusual, I think.

UNusual pets

from http://www.petplace.com/reptiles/top-10-unusual-pets/page1.aspx

Piranhas live up to their Hollywood reputation as vicious fish that will not hesitate to chew off the hand that feeds it. This isn't a pet for the faint of heart – only experienced aquarists should take on the piranha.Tarantulas, contrary to popular belief, are not usually dangerous or even aggressive. These large, hairy, and frequently beautiful animals are gaining popularity as interesting, low-maintenance pets.The wallaby is a miniature version of the kangaroo. The Latin name for the wallaby is macropod, which means "Big Foot." They are affectionate, playful and mischievous pets.The Madagascar hissing cockroach is no ordinary roach. For one thing, it can grow to up to 3 inches long and over an inch wide – not something you would swat with a rolled-up magazine! They are hardy creatures that do not bite, and in fact make great exotic pets for children.The skunk was once the Rodney Dangerfield of the animal world. But the perception of the skunk is improving as more people adopt these native-born animals as pets.Sugar gliders are marsupials native to Australia, New Guinea and Indonesia that have been blessed with the ability to glide through the trees in their natural habitats. From a good height, they can take "flights" of more than 150 feet.The "Pac Man" frog is an apt nickname for the ornery ornate horned frog. Legend says that once it bites, it won't let go until sundown. Just like the computer icon, this frog is ready to gobble everything in its path, and will bite cage mates, siblings, even its human handler.The hermit crab is, curiously, neither a hermit nor a crab. As a pet, he's quite sociable and does well in groups of his own species. There are about 800 species of hermit crabs and can be found all over the world. However, there are only two species usually found in the pet trade: the purple claw crab and the Ecuadorian crab.Potbellied pigs were first introduced to the United States from Asia 15 years ago. They are easily trained and have an alert curiosity and affectionate nature. They're smarter than the smartest dogs, and just as appreciative of a good belly-scratch. But prospective owners should be aware that cute piglets can grow to be quite large pigs.Stick insects are one of the most popular insects to keep as pets. They can hide in plain sight with camouflage that is so perfect they are nearly indistinguishable from the branches of the plants on which they feed.
