labels asian american books children s books ya books young adult books wednesday june 20 2012 asians in the movies link to the larger image link 116 of hollywood s greatest stars on one stage at one time to celebrate paramount studio s 100th anniversary it s interesting to see which stars were actually chosen i guess in some respects you have to be happy to see at least three asian faces in the group from left to right tommy chong george takei and john cho the interesting part to me is the under representation of asian females in the group perhaps lucy liu and sandra oh were booked that day anyway photographically speaking it quite a feat to have such a large group together and apparently not that much photo shop trickery involved for those of you photo geeks out there like me here s the set up info the shot was taken by famous celebrity photographer art streiber the 40 foot stage 116 person photo needed flattering even light all the way across this setup used no light stands no c stands and no medium or high rollers instead art s crew of 10 assistants used 57 profoto heads and gridded 34 of those heads with magnum p50 dishes as the key light because the stage was so wide he couldn t use a big side light instead art would have to light from above he decided to mimic the broadway style stage lighting which is a fairly hard light source up high above the audience 63 frames on a hasselblad h2 camera with the new phase one iq 160 back and a 150mm lens provided by his digital tech eric vlasic at with technology he shot the photo in three sections and his retoucher angie hayes at the happy pixel project seamed the images together in post however it s important to note that all 116 people were on stage at one time nobody was stitched into the photo nobody was added in post thanks to fstoppers for the post posted by obiwanhavanese at 10 54 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday may 23 2012 how the cdc can help you shop for next winter summer is around the corner so the local sporting goods store is clearing out their children s winter gear at 50 off one of the things the kids will need for next winter is some snow pants but with kids growing so fast it s hard to figure out what s going to fit them next winter so even though we might be saving 50 on last season s gear there s no guarantee that what we re buying will still fit by next winter now thanks to these charts provided by the centers for disease control cdc you can take some of the guesswork out of buying seasonal clothes ahead of time and for a cheap ricedaddy like me that means i could buy the previous season s gear for half off and still be sure that the gear will fit next year if you ve ever looked through your kid s file at the pediatrician s office you will notice that their height weight and head circumference are all plotted on these same charts here s how it works find your child s height on the y axis in this example the child is 42 5 107 5cm tall find your child s age on the x axis in this example the child is 5 years 4 months metric equivalent unknown find out where those coordinates meet and find the closest percentile curve upon which your child s measurement lies in this example the child is on the 25th percentile the line right below the heavy red line which represents the 50th percentile since the child in this example will be about six years old next winter trace that age from the x axis up to where it intersects with the percentile curve your child is on on the 25th percentile in this case it appears that the child will be about 44 111 5cm tall by this coming winter that s a growth of about 1 1 2 inches note that there are different charts to track length height weight head circumference

mista cookie jar music ultramagnetic universal love revolution saturday march 24 2012 that s someone s child i m an avid road cyclist and my riding buddies fit the stereotype tough quiet spandexed before eliot was born i liked to soften these guys up by telling them how excited i was about my imminent fatherhood i remember one of them one of our team s tougher quieter more spandexed members telling me that after having his first child he could no longer watch law order or csi or any of those procedurals whose drama revolves around the killed and the killing or the dead and the dying that s someone s child he said i just can t handle it anymore it s a simple sentiment perhaps but the force of its generalization still moves me even if i felt then that it was somewhat overstated it feels considerably less so now that i ve made the transition from expectant father to father at the very least it s become far more difficult to handle stories about children dying and almost impossible to hear about them being killed there s nothing i can say about trayvon martin or his case that hasn t already been said ta nehisi coates and his atlantic monthly colleagues have been our best guides to his story s twists and turns bruce reyes chow at hyphen s blog has even tried to make sense of the overlap of asian american privilege and what he calls white privilege that he sees lurking beneath the lack of privilege that marked trayvon as a body to be targeted pursued and shot down numerous others have attempted to see themselves through the lens of trayvon s death and to mourn the persistence of racism but the voices that have affected me the most aren t the angry ones or the historical ones or the legal or political ones though each of these have played a crucial part in how i ve come to understand trayvon s death the most affecting voices have been the ones that see their own children in trayvon or even their own hypothetical children i m not in the habit of being moved by the emotional ploys of politicians but i really did believe in the pain obama was trying to convey when he said that if he had had a son he would have looked like trayvon trayvon s death hurts in many ways not least of them historically so of course the old divisions have been busy policing the authenticity of pain and identification black commentators have criticized white commentators claims that trayvon reminds them of their own children and confessionals of white guilt have flooded the airwaves and blogosphere these discussions certainly have their place and i think we owe it to trayvon to think through them as carefully as possible in all their uncomfortable complexity but the reason i m writing this post is not to add to any of that the reason is because well it s because i thought i d ask us to pause for a moment and look at trayvon s face i think most of us have already done this but there s something important in that pause there s a feeling i get that i think most of you get as well and i d venture to say it s the powerful feeling of the general and specific coinciding he belongs to us and that matters tremendously just look at him posted by chris fan at 12 00 am 6
