Scab Bandages

By Thomas SmithSource: Scab BandagesWhen you need a bandage your options are rather limited - the traditional boring old band-aid or some embarrassing cartoon character-endorsed variation. Sometimes you just want something a little different and what can be better than these twisted scab bandages. They're gross, fun and are far better than having Hello Kitty cover your boo-boo.The design concept behind these bandages is pretty brilliant. The bandages are great for kids (probably more for boys than girls) and adults with a twisted sense of humor.

"Ouch! That smarts! Treat your minor cuts, scrapes and scratches with the incredible healing power of a designer bandage from Accoutrements. And if a fancy bandage isn't enough to dry up your tears, how about a FREE TOY! Each comes in a 3-3/4" tall metal pocket tin and contains a small plastic trinket to help make even the ouchiest owies feel all better in no time. The 3" x 1" Bacon Strips are cut to look like small slabs of bacon. Fifteen per tin."

Wrapped In...

Saran Wrap!What... thought I'd say "our love"... sheesh... Not that sappy! We got this stuff from Circuit City on their last day. 4 rolls of it. We tried being wrapped a few different ways and didn't even come close to using 1 roll. Guess we'll have to try again!Thank you Aaron for helping us with the shot and using your camera. It's kinda hard to press any buttons when you're stuck together.

Christmas Wrapping

No, not the Waitresses’ song of the same name. Every year AIGA New York asks a few designers to create holiday wrapping paper. Afterwards, they throw a big holiday bash and sell the wrapping paper. Proceeds from the event benefit the AIGA NY Mentoring Program and First Book, an organization dedicated to giving children from low-income families the opportunity to read and own their first new books. As you can probably imagine, I jumped at the chance to participate when they came knocking.

After blazing through about six alternate ideas (and even mocking a few of those up), I eventually landed on the concept of a multi-purpose wrapping paper comprised entirely of type. I tried to stay away from typical holiday conventions for color and symbolism, and instead decided to portray a bit of what the holidays mean to me. I come from a large Italian family, and we often meet around, or because of, food. The holidays bring out some of the best and rarely seen recipes of the year, so what better way to bring that to others than to share some recipes. Your gift receiver can now ditch the crummy gift you got them, and instead use the wrapping paper to create some festive treats! Hot mulled wine, pumpkin bread, and more! I even slipped in a personal Italian favorite, pizzelles. Mmmm. Check out the final wrapping paper here.
It was great to get back to some print design for a little bit (as it always is), but I really have to admit, this was rough. The project hit just as many other projects were in full swing, and I had to use every last day before getting this out to the printer. I also had a blast finally using the new Garamond Premier Pro I grabbed from Adobe as a gift for registering Creative Suite 2. It’s a gorgeous Open Type face by Robert Slimbach that contains numerous optical weights, ligatures, fractions, and so much more. It truly is a thing to behold. This combined with some good old Trade Gothic make for a simple and elegant solution. And it’s not coincidental that it also hints a little at a newspaper feel, that being another classic DIY wrap. Thanks very much to my new (and old) friends at AIGA NY for the opportunity!
If you are in or around New York this Sunday, the party is free to attend, is at Pentagram (!), and promises to attract some design luminaries we web people rarely see. Among those luminaries are 22 “virtuoso couples” whose creative collaborations will be silently auctioned off. You can join me in invading their personal space and making awkward introductions. If you do happen to drop by, please come and say hello!
On an unrelated note, I will be away the tail-end of next week as we make a quick trip back to Ireland. The Comhaltas site we are working on is designed and approaching completion, and we elected to head back over for some training. Realistically, only a few of us need to go, but the airfares were low enough that we all decided to go… including significant others. While there, we will be bopping around Dublin again, and taking in the Comhaltas Christmas party. There will surely be many pictures, as we tend to document everything like crazed paparazzi. Some friends will be taking care of the Daily Photos while I’m away.

Edward Hart (1847 - 1928)

Edward Hart was born on July 30th, 1847. His father, William Hart, was a taxidermist in Christchurch. He opened his first taxidermy shop in Bridge Street in 1834. The shop closed perhaps due to William's other manufactoring buisness: making watch chains. William Hart eventually opened a second taxidermy store in the 1850s which seems to have inspired his son's own fascination with taxidermy:
"In 1857 I shot three of three birds and afterwards mounted them, little thinking at the time that this attempt at taxidermy was to be the beginning of making my collection, which has been my fortune to accumulate principally from Hampshire." Father and son eventually went into business together which was advertised as "William Hart & Son, Preservers of Birds and Beasts."
Edward Hart continued accumulating his own collection and in 1866 he opened a museum in The Bow House (now the Portman Building Society) to display his pieces. The total length of the bird cases was 270 feet (82 metres) with a height of 10 feet (3 metres). The mammal cases extended another 30 feet (9 metres). The museum continued to increase in size, including upwards of 420 cases, containing 1350 specimens of birds, 2000 birds' egss, 1000 fossils and flint implements, moths and butterflies, and various horns, skulls, and antlers. The mammals included squirrels, rats, shrews, stoats and dormice. Hart arranged his birds and animals in naturalistic settings including painted backgrounds, rocks, and foliage. Hart also created several anthropomorphic tableaux which he termed "Grotesque Groups" including Prize Fight, Leap Frog and The Barber.

Prize Fight was first displayed by Hart at the Great Exhibition. Consisting of five cases, the Fight shows two squirrels in various stages of a bozing match until the squirrel on the right is knocked out. The piece was bought by Lord and Lady Bangor and is still displayed in Castle Ward, Country Down, Northern Ireland, which has since been taken over by the National Trust.
Most specimens in his museums were collected by Hart himself (he kept notebooks detailing where he found each specimen) although others were donated by local naturalists including Mr. T. Pike.

For further comments on Hart's conservationist tendencies (or lack of) and the legacy of his collection, go to the Hampshire County Council's website.

Pizza Hut has changed...its name to Pasta Hut

Pizza Hut has changed...its name to Pasta Hut
06/10/2008
For the first time in our 50 year history, we have changed our name.
We have changed a lot over the past few years – with huge investment in our restaurants, significant nutritional changes and the launch of a delicious range of 12 Tuscani pastas. To mark the dawn of a new era for the company and because we are confident in our new menu, we have decided to change our name to Pasta Hut.

Change Name

CEO, Alasdair Murdoch explains;
"We have made significant changes to every aspect of the business over the past few years and we wanted to create a moment in time for people to sit back and take notice. We are confident that people will like what they see when they come into the restaurants."

In an extensive six-year refurbishment programme, which began in 2004, we are investing £100 million in our restaurants. £17 million has been spent on updating over 100 restaurants this year alone, with a contemporary new look and state-of-the-art equipment and we plan to spend a further £24million in 2009, making your experience in the restaurant even more enjoyable.

As well as the introduction of the new pasta menu, we have also updated our popular salad bar and have made significant changes to the nutritional content across many menu items.[i] The company launched a salt reduction programme in 2004, when salt levels in some products were reduced by as much as 30%. We are also committed to a 10% reduction over the next three years with the intention of meeting the FSA's salt targets for 2010 for relevant items.

The children's menu has been revamped to include hidden vegetables[ii] and a complimentary side salad. All traces of hydrogenated vegetable oils[iii] have been removed from the menu, and there is also an ongoing saturated fat removal programme.

The name change will take place for a trial period, so let us know your thoughts about the new name by registering your votes in our online poll.

[i] Pizza Hut began a salt reduction programme in 2004 and has significantly reduced the salt content of its starters, pasta sauces, salad dressings and certain pizza toppings, in some cases by as much as 30%. Pizza Hut has committed to reducing salt levels, with the intention of meeting all the government's 2010 targets for relevant menu items.
[ii] Pizza Hut's children's menu now contains 'hidden' vegetables within some menu items.
[iii] In 2007, Pizza Hut removed Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils from its menu.
