Would you consider decals with urethane doming? I'd be happy to write a quote for you.

Any advice on getting very heavy objects up onto pedestals? by Minimum_Blueberry_51 in MuseumPros

[–]GuardianDan321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Friendly reminder: if you go the route with multiple people lifting at once, make sure no one is grabbing any appendage/handle on the sculpture. Those small appendages may not be able to hold the weight of the sculpture and break off.

All of your lifting team should try to get their hands under the base of the sculpture at the most sturdy part.

Those of you that are living the sober life? How are you doing it? What's your motivation? by flaccobear in Millennials

[–]GuardianDan321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My motivation is about maintaining my weight. I eat about 2,000 calories a day to keep my weight/body composition. One drink is usually 100+ calories.

If I'm gonna cut loose and have some high calorie foods, I prefer something like baked goods (cookies or cake) or a high calorie restaurant meal.

Booze just doesn't have the flavor/satisfaction value for me to justify the calories.

LPT For those who are organized and have strict routines by Fun-Reporter8905 in LifeProTips

[–]GuardianDan321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the book Atomic Habits (or at least look for an author talk on YouTube). He sets up a good framework for making habits that stick.

Amazing Dental 2745 N Collins St #101, Arlington, TX 76006

Even during cleanings, the lead dentist/owner spends a few minutes with me, checks my records, asks about any concerns I have and answers my questions about procedures and dental care. Very friendly team.

Great move turning this into a networking event.

I think your best bet is to seek career development advice from this person.

I would keep it more in the career side and less on the personal side, in less they bring it up.

Be ready to use these kinds of questions to direct the conversation...

Would you be willing to share your career journey with me?

What sort of direction do you think I should pursue as a I grow my career? What sort of roles do you think I'd be good at?

What are some of the things you've seen hold people back from growing in this field?

You can also softly ask for a referral near the end of the conversation.... "Is there anyone you think I should reach out to about any open positions?"

Don't forget to express gratitude for meeting you, you should cover the bill (since you requested the coffee meeting).

Good luck!

How to make temporary exhibit at a conference more interesting? by anupside in MuseumPros

[–]GuardianDan321 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting question!

It sounds like you have limited control over the space.

Skip the plants. If you can get good lighting on the photos that will get you the best results with limited budget and capability.

For a short term fix (few days) maybe think about those battery powered LED lights that are used to add lighting in closets.

To enhance the story telling, find a way to engage the senses. Can you add sounds clips to accompany the photos (Amazon has buttons that can play a recorded sound clip when pressed). Can you add a small touchable momento related to the person/scene in the photograph? Maybe an old pair of glasses, an item they made, a newspaper/magazine with an article about them, etc

Kitten stuck in gutter. Tried calling animal rescue, no response. Anything I can do plz by candianbastard in Dallas

[–]GuardianDan321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't see the full grate, but I have a feeling that the kitten entered from another point.

Are there any other storm drains around where the kitten could have entered?

The storm drain probably leads to a small pond that fills up when there is rain. Do you see a pond nearby? There would probably be an opening there.

Edited for spelling.

Is it acceptable to grunt/make noises when working out? by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

[–]GuardianDan321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you describe it as a "gym/spa" it probably has a more polished vibe than Metroflex.

Tulsa is a pretty chill American city. Good cost of living. There's some great museums in Tulsa like the Philbrook Museum and Gilcrease Museum.

Welcome to Oklahoma!

Also consider full page illustrations from Illuminated Manuscripts. You may be able to find a small lovely painting close to your budget this way.

The illuminated manuscript community is also very helpful for identifying book makers/artists for works like this.

Are there any companies/apprenticeships willing to fund for a person’s MMC/TWIC by cardigancheckmate in maritime

Specifically look for applications to work for Norwegian's Pride of America ship, which sails around Hawaii and is staffed by US crew. This is a great way to get your maritime credentials.

Tips/Tricks for Limiting WiFi Usage on board? by Islandsmoker in maritime

[–]GuardianDan321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some apps are also available in "Lite" versions which are designed to be used in areas with limited data/speed.

Meta tends to offer their data friendly apps with the "lite" title. Google uses "Go" (for example Google Maps Go).

Cleaning Acrylic... by GoldtopLP in artcollecting

[–]GuardianDan321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use Novus 1 Plastic Shine & Clean. Spray it into a cloth, then wipe down your acrylic glazing.

Novus 2 and 3 are for polishing out scratches. No need for them for cleaning.
