Roman shipwrecks

In 1986, two Roman ships were discovered in an archaeological search cut 50 m west of the Roman fort of Oberstimm near Ingolstadt, Germany. The site is located on the former bank of the now relocated Brautlach, a small tributary of the Danube. In 1994, both ships were excavated and recovered. Apart from the destruction caused by the excavator in 1986, ship 1 has survived to a length of 15 metres. The bow and stern are missing, but judging from the preserved hull shape, it can only have been a little longer. While the starboard side from gunwale to keel has been completely preserved, the port side is completely gone. Reconstructed, the ship is 15.70 m long, 2.70 m wide and 1 m high.

Dendrochronological examinations revealed felling dates of 90 AD +/- 10 and 102 AD +/-10 years for the oak wood. A further chronological delimitation was made possible by oak stakes that had been driven into the ground as bank fortifications and had penetrated both ships. They were felled in 118 AD. Both ships therefore belong to the Domitian/Trajan period

@thatdarnyeti /

The current (emphasis: current, I'm still chomping numbers and capability) plan is there are going to be 3 monthly zines.

Each zine is 1 sheet of paper folded in half, to make a tiny booklet.

Monsters / the Netherworld / fun stories or poems etc

Real world post office letter mail inspiration stuff

Real world Halloween (spooky, not scary, in line with everything else we do) essay

Each zine is $1 each + postage (in the USA, about $0.70). You're only charged once for postage, so your total will be $1.70 or $2.70 or $3.70 depending on if you subscribe to one, two, or three zines.

Each zine is going to be about a blog-post in length... because a few months after they mail out (probably 3 or 4 months), they become blog posts.

At that point, the PDF of that zine will be "pay if you want" to download, or you can buy a copy in the shop as a normal product, for $1 (then we'll fire up the printing presses and mail it to you).

The advantage of us printing and mailing -- we use commercial printing presses that have really great colors. The advantage of "pay if you want" is you can get it immediately and (if you want) free.

On social media, for the last few years, I've balanced

"here is monster stuff in a fun dimension, sometimes there is smooching"

"here is a love letter to the postal system, yes, a love letter... to.. the postal... system"

"Here is fanfic about Scooby-Doo, or a very specific Halloween commercial from the 1980s, or a love letter to Dunkin' Donuts Halloween donuts"

By splitting the zine into three options, people can focus on "I like THIS part of your work, but am less interested in THAT part of your work."

I want to serve people exactly what they are most interested in. I love making all three lines of stuff pretty much equally, and having 3 focuses to bounce between keeps me in a great flow state.

It works out great.

I am extremely pro-social media, it has given me an inordinate amount of advantages and benefits for many years.

And.

I'm in the classic business scenario of "what got you to where you are won't get you to where you want to go."

The above zine project is explicitly designed around "Hey. Like our stuff? Here is a physical copy priced as affordably as possible. You're getting a blog post / social media post, but in the mail. Enjoy!"

Each zine is going to be wildly experimental.

I look at them as a box.

"I have 1 sheet of paper, folded in half, so a booklet of 4 pages. What can I do this month with it?"

FOR THE MONSTER ZINE, I'm thinking "Okay. One month it is a love story (obviously). The next month it is a series of sketches of slime candy. The next month it is a day-in-the-life of a dragon."

FOR THE MAILING ZINE, one month it is going to be "You should write a postcard to your favorite independent restaurant and tell them exactly how you feel about them. You should share why you order what you order and how happy it makes you. Maybe you went there on a date and it went great, maybe you went there after a really hard day and their food made it a little bit better."

FOR THE REAL WORLD SPOOKY ZINE, I'll do a deep dive into my fan theories about magic in Hocus Pocus.

In the 80s and 90s there were tons of super cheap magazines and comics that were constantly shifting and experimenting and I love that.

It's the energy I'm bringing back.

I've spent too many words on this really simple response, I'm sorry, I'm full of words today.

There will be a giant post on the blog "this is how I'm doing it because I have access to commercial printers, if you do too, here is what i recommend. If you don't, check out how to print it at an office supply store, here are details. If you don't want to do that, here is what you can do at home with a cheap desktop printer."

Wow I am WAY over my word budget (laugh)

thank you sorry getting back to work

Sonic the Oz-Hog Act 4/12: Knux Readux!

Knuckles the Echidna Volume 2 issue 1 AU Publication Date: 14th April 1997 Price: $2.70

Spinoffs. No self-respecting media can live with them. No self-aggrandising media can live without them. And for those of us who lived through the space year that was 1997, corporations were chomping at the bit for a slice of those sweet spinoff dollarydoos.

Best place to start and witness such influence would be, arguably, the cinema. After Baz Luhrmann's blockbuster remake Romeo + Juliet spent weeks atop the box office, the majority of March was a bitter struggle between Wes Craven's thriller Scream and Cameron Crowe's football drama Jerry Maguire. A fascinating if ultimately pointless grudge match between two distinct genres. For all their efforts, neither claimed victory when by month's end, a film 20 years their senior blasted both off the map. The Star Wars Special Editions had arrived.

The promotion (and merchandise deals) was huge. A New Hope proved an instant hit, swiftly followed on 10th April by The Empire Strikes Back. Everything old was new again, and the re-hits just kept coming. Audiences pounded the pavements, eager to revisit Jurassic Park when its sequel The Lost World saw release on 29th May (only a week after its US premiere, a then-impressive feat). Superhero buffs ignored the winter freeze to watch Batman and Robin on 26th June, a film often lauded yet pulled respectable numbers and local reviews at the time.

Speaking of space, following a successful campaign through latter 1996, the Oddbodz were back. Smith's Chips and Glow Zone launched their second series of 61 collectable glow-in-the-dark cards featuring a myriad of wacky, wicked and occasionally controversial space-themed characters. If gross-out humour wasn't your speed, ripping into packs of Thins, Ruffles, Cheetos or Doritos chips instead offered adventures in a galaxy far far away with official Star Wars 3D Magic Motion and Techno Tazos.

After the toyline's initial launch in January, Beast Wars had successfully put Transformers back on the map, though kids would have to wait at least three more months to see their favourite characters in animated action. To Channel 7's credit, they at least gave the program a decent timeslot. More than can be said for Channel 9's decision that April to broadcast the all-new Star Trek: Voyager season 2 and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 4 at the ghastly time of 11pm weeknights.

In spite of the former losing 30 minutes off its timeslot, the rivalry between weekday morning children's entertainment continued between Agro's Cartoon Connection and Cheez TV. Both were banking on the spinoff craze, and viewers waking up 14th April could choose between the premiere of Power Rangers Zeo episode 'Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise', or the premiere of Earthworm Jim episode 'Darwin's Nightmare'. For the musically inclined, American rockers No Doubt had enjoyed 8 weeks atop the music charts with the third single on their third album, 'Don't Speak'. At least until April saw them bumped off by Aussie pop prodigy Savage Garden and their third single 'Truly Madly Deeply'.

But of all the spinoffs to arise and bedazzle locals, after three years of development and an exclusive preview party the night prior, SEGA World Sydney opened its doors at 4pm on Saturday 22nd March 1997. Touted in print and on TV as "Australia's Largest Indoor Theme Park!", it offered hours of unrivalled entertainment and programs for Sydneysiders and visitors alike. Anyone who could afford its hefty entry fee lost themselves in all the games and rides they could handle (except Mortal Kombat, which was pulled last-minute). An escape into pixilated fantasy guaranteed to forget their real-world troubles for several hours. Mundane adult things like Victoria and Western Australia's brief yet brutal summer bushfire seasons where 3 lives and some 59 homes were lost. Or how after one year into the top job, captain conservative John Howard faced international anger over comments at the United Nations General Assembly, and local anger over casual dismissing threats by extreme right-wing rival Pauline Hanson's One Nation party.

Be it stage shows, costumed cameos and all types of merchandise featuring their antics, fans of Sonic, Tails, Sally and Robotnik were in paradise. Unfortunately the same couldn't be said for a fifth member of the cast. For someone who enjoyed strong popularity and a species originating right there, SEGA World put the bare minimum effort into giving Knuckles the Echidna his own time to shine. A remarkable oversight undoubtedly leaving young fans wondering where that embattled echidna was hiding. As luck would soon have it, they needn't look far.

Nestled comfortably among the shelves between Sonic issues 45 and 46 came Knuckles: The Dark Legion. Sales had proven strong enough (or at least stronger than Tails and Sally's comics) to warrant the development of a second miniseries. Exciting in its own right, only amplified when exclusively announced through AOL in January 1997 it would evolve to a fully-fledged ongoing spinoff. No longer was trotting off to the newsagents exclusively a Friday end-of-month treat. Knuckles' arrival meant a mandatory Monday mid-month booster for us deprived of Mobian adventures.

Over the course of its 32 issue run, Knuckles the Echidna was, much like Endgame two months later, once praised as a pinnacle of Archie Sonic. Fans adored the series, giving ol' Rad Red his own unique mythos and adventures. While Sonic naffed around aimlessly in a post-Robotnik world, we saw Knuckles as the cool, 'mature' comic. He had stakes. He had drama. Quite a turnaround after the heavy criticism its writer took in late 1996 over Sally's leaked demise. Within months he was described as "a kewl writer!", or "one of the ONLY "good" and "balanced" writers Archie has", or how they're "so much better then sonic comics now its not funny." with "all the good villains and family members." Fans swarmed en mass to his WWWBoard, creating their own stories, characters and entire websites tied to the Brotherhood and Dark Legion. Not everyone agreed on the book's mission statement "Why does everybody liek it so much? All it is really is a bunch of Penders' characters running around with slight appearacnes by Chaotix and occasionally knuckles himself.", but it made a lot of other people happy. Enough for both The Dark Legion and Lost Paradise reissued as 'back catalogue' orders to selected comic book stores in late 2004.

And just like Endgame, those nostalgic memories have since dissipated when adults reflected on his tales with matured, scrutinous eyes. We grow. We learn. We reevaluate on what was once adored as adolescents, realising perhaps those good times weren't all that good. Maybe the series and characters were fine in concept but lacked competent execution. Maybe our childish expectations meant they were never good to begin with and the critics were right all along.

The youthful, creative glory days from the late-90's to mid-2000's of Knuckles of an Echidna, Kragok Comics, Echidna Gals, Dark Legion HQ, Echidnapolis, Knux Redux, Tisha-Li's Dark Legion Camp, Kensuke Aida's Julie-Su Shrine, Echidnoyle, Shattered Moonlight, Knuckles 9000, Kiri Megami's Chaotix Hideout, Darkest Mysteries, and of course True Red's mighty Knuckles Haven have long passed.

It's from learning said past our futures are forged, but do any of these characters have a future? Do they even deserve a future?

Or maybe it's just best they're all forever banished to the Twilight Zone of cultural irrelevance.

Next Time: For years I said it wouldn't be done. Yet promises, like the hearts and cheekbones of fictitious rodents, were made to be broken. Will May's hedgie rectrospect-y truly be worthy of such hate? Or have revisionists painted a far worse picture over the past two decades?

How long have you had your motorcycle license for now? What's it like having a bike VS a car? I imagine it makes shopping a bit of a pain - or do bikes have more storage on them than they appear?

1. I've had my learner motorcycle license for about 7 months now. I plan on going for my restricted after I hit 1000ks and do at least one Ride Forever course and/or one-on-one lesson to make sure I'm doing things correctly.

2. Motorcycle riding is a bit like riding a pushbike but no pedalling and the clutch is your Roman Empire.

I can't speak to personally owning or using a car since I have yet to get behind the wheel. Definitely better for all-weather use and there are different costs involved.

Vehicle registration (rego) for Despechá (Honda CB125F) is just over NZ$400 a year, compared to my dad's Ford Mondeo, which is a bit over NZ$100. This is due to the much higher ACC levy (about $300pa on mine, I pay more in GST than the actual license fee component of my rego) on motorcycles due to the increased risk of injury/death riding.

Fuel-wise, bike is far more economical. A full tank from empty would cost about NZ$30 (11L tank @ ~$2.70/L for 91 unleaded) at the current fuel prices and gets me about 700ks. Would be about $100 to fill the Mondeo for a roughly equivalent range.

Full coverage insurance costs for both vehicles is about the same at about $400pa.

Parking can be a lot cheaper for motorcycles (free dedicated on-street parking). Have to go out of your way for free on-street parking for cars in the city centre. Otherwise, paying at least $4 for an hour of parking.

Gear can be pricy too. Helmet is legally required, and gloves are the bare additional minimum for many, but ideally, you'd have a jacket and boots, and maybe pants. If not to avoid road rash, then to avoid hypothermia in winter. Though it's up to the individual and how much gear they want to wear.

You do get to use high occupany and some bus lanes if you ride here which can make some commutes quicker.

3. I've become a lot more mindful of how much I can carry on the bike. There isn't much stock storage on mine. Only enough space to store her toolkit and spare manual under the seat.

I don't use my bike for a lot of grocery shopping beyond picking up bread and milk so a backpack suffices. Planning on buying panniers and a tank bag but that's becoming less for shopping and more for future travel plans.

Some scooters do have a lot more storage under the seat or on the steering column. It depends on the model.

~.~.~

From Marvel’s link (Iron Man (Anthony Stark)) — Tony Stark would have been a Course 6–1 (Electrical Engineering). Given that he was a graduate in the late 1980’s [Class of 1987?] according to the movie (or in the 1940’s or 50’s according to the comic books). Let’s stick with the movie version, as I wouldn’t know the EE program in the 1940’s/50’s (I can see the course catalog or catalogue, I just don’t know what topics would be taught).

Key reference: Browsing MIT Course Catalogues by Issue Date (the 1983–1987 course catalogs) — this is the MIT Institute Archives by MIT Libraries

In the 1980’s, Tony Stark would have done his 17 GIR’s or more likely gotten Advanced Standing Exams on a number of them (back then, 18.01, 18.02, 8.01, 8.02, 3.091/5.40/5.41/5.11 i.e., the old 5.111 or 5.60 or 7.01). He probably did his humanities concentration or minor in Economics as there was no Management option (I can’t think of any other concentration that would fit his personality and interests better, although he may have done Science, Technology, and Society or Technology, Culture, and Development as his humanities concentration). Tony Stark would have also done 18.03 (Differential Equations) and 18.06 (Linear Algebra) (requirements for the 6–1 program) as well as 6.041 Probabilistic Systems Analysis and Applied Probability. I have no idea what Tony Stark would have taken as other humanities courses (back then, one would have had to take 3 humanities distribution subjects).

Stark would have taken the 6.001–6.004 series (6.001 Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is no longer offered in the current curriculum and has been replaced by 6.01). 6.002 = Circuits and Electronics; 6.003 = Signals, and Systems; 6.004 = Computational Structures.

Stark would have had to take at least one EECS lab (6.111 Intro to Digital Systems Laboratory or 6.101 Intro Electronics Laboratory or 6.115 — Microcomputer Project Laboratory or 6.114 or 6.141 or 6.142 or 6.151 etc.). I think Stark would have also done the rest of the EE program requirements at the time (6.012 Microelectronic Devices and Circuits, 6.013 Electromagnetics and Applications, 6.014: Electrodynamics, 6.017 or 8.211 Introduction to Quantum Physics)

Given that Tony Stark was highly mechanically oriented and very competitive, I’d imagine that he probably took a lot of the Mechanical Engineering core that didn’t have a Course 6 equivalent (2.01 Mechanics of Solids, 2.02 Introduction to Systems Dynamics, 2.03J Dynamics, 2.06J Mechanical Vibration, 2.20 Fluid Mechanics, 2.31/2.32 Mechanical Behavior of Materials I+II, 2.40 Thermodynamics, 2.51 Heat and Mass Transfer, 2.70 Introduction to Design [nowadays known as 2.007]). Actually, As Tony Stark (film) (on the Iron Man Wikia) indicates that Tony Stark won a robotics competition at MIT — the main one would have been 2.70 (which is now 2.007).

The two Master’s or SM degrees (graduate work) according to Sanderson, Peter (w), Candelario, Harry (p), Cheung, Jim (i). Iron Man: The Legend 1 (September 1996) were in Physics and Electrical Engineering.

For his graduate work in EE, there are way too many classes that would have interested him (i.e., EECS AAGS | MIT EECS [AAGS = Approved Advanced Graduate Subjects]). Like at least half of those classes …

On the Physics side, Tony Stark would have been most interested in the Solid State, Laser, Plasma, and Atomic Physics research area. He would have likely taken graduate Quantum Mechanics (8.321, 8.322), Solid State Physics (8.511), Plasma Physics (8.613J), Statistical Mechanics (8.333) — I believe these would have been the first-year SM requirements for Physics.

He would have written three theses: one undergraduate for EE, then one for each of his Master’s degrees (Physics, Electrical Engineering). Anne Hunter (the undergraduate course administrator for Course 6) has mentioned to me that the first person to graduate with the M.Eng. was in 1994, so this would have been after the time that Tony Stark would have graduated from MIT.

Additionally, Stark would have also passed his swim test and boat test, and probably taken martial arts Physical Education classes for the PE requirement (e.g., aikido, shotokan karate). He probably took sailing as well (didn’t he have a yacht in one of the comic books?)

As for grades, MIT does not award “valedictorian” or Latin honors of summa/magna cum laude, but inferring that Marvel says that Tony Stark was “summa cum laude,” I would assume he was a 5.0 GPA (straight A’s).

Chupe de Camarones (Chilean Cheesy Prawn Gratin)

To celebrate Los Cóndores' last game in this Rugby World Cup today --against fellow South Americans Argentina-- I made Chupe de Camarones. The Chilean recipe is a deliciously cheesy and spicy prawn gratin (not a stew like its Peruvian counterpart), a more-ish dish, as fiery and hearty as this year's World Cup debutants! Happy Saturday!

Ingredients (serves 2):

75 grams/2.70 ounces day-old bread, like Sourdough Bread 

1 cup semi-skimmed milk

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 large onion

1/2 large red Bell Pepper, rinsed

1/3 red hot chili pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 small garlic clove, minced

a dozen fresh prawns

1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

1/2 large lemon

1/2 cup double cream

60 grams/2 ounces Mature Cheddar

a handful fresh Garden Chives and Chervil 

Parmesan Cheese

Crumble Sourdough Bread into a medium bowl. Cover with milk, and allow to soak, half an hour; set aside.

Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F. Generously oil two oven-proof bowls. Set aside.

In a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

Peel and finely chop onion, and stir into the skillet, a couple of minutes until softened.

Seed and chop Bell Pepper, stirring into the skillet.

Thinly slice chili pepper, and add to the skillet as well, along with dried oregano and garlic. Cook, a couple of minutes more.

Peel the prawns, and add to the skillet, cooking until they turn bright pink and just start browning. Season with fleur de sel and black pepper. Transfer four of the prawns to a small plate for garnish; set aside.

Thoroughly squeeze the juice of the lemon halve into the skillet to deglaze. Reduce heat to medium.

Using a hand-held blender, process soaked Sourdough Bread and milk until smooth. Stir mixture into the skillet, until slightly thickened.

Then, stir in double cream and grate in the Cheddar. Give a good stir until the cheese has melted. Remove from the heat.

Finely chop Chives and Chervil, and stir into the skillet. 

Spoon mixture into each prepared bowl. Grate a little Parmesan on top of each. Place in the middle of the hot oven, and bake, at 200°C/395°F, 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown on top.

Serve Chupe de Camarones hot, topped with reserved prawns.

Recipe: Empty Your Pantry Burrito Bowls

Hey, guys! Here's another recipe I made very recently! There will be images included at the end of the post.

The entire inspiration for this recipe is to empty your pantry or freezer! I have a TON of beans, frozen potatoes, and instant brown rice, so I got some of it used up in this recipe! I will also say this is higher calorie, but I struggle to get all my calories in as most days I don't feel that hungry, but you can always cut the calories by removing rice and putting in WAY more veggies!

*This recipe is also fairly easy to make vegan or vegetarian, just replace the ground chicken with plant-based meat or lentils, and replace the beef broth with vegetable broth or stock!

Total Cost: $13.49

Cost per Serving (5 Servings): $2.70

Calories per Serving (5 Servings): 709

Ingredients:

1 LB Perdue Ground Chicken ($3.64)

1 Bag Bird's Eye Oven Roasters Sweet Potatoes Carrots & Red Potatoes ($2.97, was on sale)

5 Servings (1/2 cup dry) Great Value Instant Brown Rice: $.90

1 Can Great Value Chickpeas: $.78

2 Cans Great Value No Salt Added Dark Red Kidney Beans: $1.56

1 10oz Can Rotel No Salt Added: $1.24

1.5 Cups Great Value Unsalted Beef Broth: $.50

1 Orange Bell Pepper: $1 (got it in a pack of 3 for $3)

2 Servings Great Value Seasoning Blend Frozen: $.70

2 TBPS Great Value Classic Olive Oil: $.20

Seasoning for Rice: Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Cumin, Chili Powder, Paprika, a SMALL amount of Cayenne, Black Pepper, added Accent when finished.

Seasoning for Chicken and Veggies in Pot: The exact same minus Cayenne, but added Accent while it was cooking.

I HIGHLY recommend following the instructions on the packaging for any rice you use and if you plan to bake your veggies! (Or look up a recommended cook time.)

I followed the directions on the Oven Roasters, making sure to preheat my oven before I started prepping anything else. I lined a pan with aluminum foil (highly recommend doing that for easier cleanup! It saves me HELLA time.), tossed the veggies on, and gave them a light spray with canned olive oil. This is not necessary and does not add any calories, but I like crisping my veggies up a little so they hold their crunch when I freeze them.

After getting that into the oven, I put the broth and water for the rice on to boil (I counted the broth into the rice's needed water), then got my olive oil heating to medium heat in a large pot. You want a pot big enough to hold everything but the rice and oven veggies!

When the olive oil is heated, add the frozen seasoning blend (or onions, onions and peppers, etc) and give it roughly 5 minutes to cook and thaw the onions before adding the bell pepper. After adding the bell pepper, give the mixture another 5 minutes to sweat the vegetables.

When the water is boiling, get your rice in.

After the veggies have sweated, get the ground chicken in the pot. Season both the rice and the chicken veggie mixture. (I go pretty heavy with seasoning as I don't add salt to anything due to my diet.)

Set your rice and the oven veggies to the side, and turn your full attention to the chicken mixture.

When the chicken is about 3/4ths of the way cooked (most of it has changed color, there can still be some pink just not much), add in your chickpeas. This gives them time to soften a little and start soaking in all that seasoning. You can add the Rotel and beans in now as well, or wait till the chicken is starting to brown.

I believe I gave it an additional 15-20 minutes to let the flavors mix and merry.

When everything is done, either serve with the chicken mix on top of the rice and oven veggies, or if you meal plan like I do, I used those long rectangular bowls that have no sections, and put my rice on one side, the chicken mixture on the other, and the oven veggies on top of the middle area!

Hope you enjoy <3

Sims 4 Synchro Singing Animation (Full Song)

The Video is about a specific Topic, the Song lyric speaks for itself. These are themes that have accompanied me over the last few years, this Song is intended to give courage again and I celebrated it very much, when I first heard it. So I wanted to give it a fair Animation, I wanted an Animation that brings out the best parts of the Song, and I think I did quite well. Of course, the Character was also very important, as it should be someone who can express the otherness very clearly, and Tylor is best suited for that, as a Werewolf. In addition, the Voice suits him very well. The Song is also edited I've made it higher pitched to fit Tylor too. Sensitive topics and sensitive experiences, with this video I want to process my very own things. And what better way to process things as an Artist than to work with what occupies you. Personally, I still have a long way to go before I'm back where I used to be, but with this video I want to show myself and other people that no matter how long it takes, you'll eventually come back and above all, there is always a way. No matter how colorful my world is, I myself can no longer shine as brightly as my Characters do. That's why I wanted to let my Chacatere shine so that it reached me. That may sound like nonsense to you, but it was/is important to me. 

 The Animation comes in two parts, one part is 1:50 long, the first part will be published on my Patreon from Monday, the second part will follow later.

Hi, can you help me with a question please? How do you convert objects, please tell me how do you convert obj file to package? Because I modified a mesh in blender 2.70 and I don't know how to make it package and thus open it in Simpe, since it doesn't open the obj.

hi! i used tenlittlepandas' tutorial [1 | 2] when i first started out.

tldr: you're going to want to clone a similar package using the object workshop in simPE, then replace the GUID in the object data (OBJD), the mesh itself (.obj file) in the geometric data container (GMDC), and finally the texture image (TXTR). that's just the most basic explanation. again, refer to the tutorials listed for details on how to do so. the type of object matters as well, deco is the easiest place to start.

i have a list of tutorials i find useful under my resources page, in case you're interested. :]
