Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Peter Gorman, President of the Uniformed Fire Officers Association (UFOA), today announced that a tentative contract settlement has been reached on a collective bargaining agreement covering the 50-month, 19-day period from January 1, 2003 through March 19, 2007 . The agreement includes a more than 17% wage increase and a modified salary structure for certain employees promoted on or after March 1, 2006 . The agreement is funded through productivity enhancements and other measurable savings consistent with the parameters of this round of bargaining and includes significant management and operational reforms. The Fire Commissioner will now have wider latitude in choosing the Chief of Department. The agreement covers employees in the titles of: Lieutenant, Captain, Battalion Chief, Deputy Chief, Medical Officer, and Medical Officer detailed as Chief Medical Officer, Supervising Fire Marshal (Uniformed) and Administrative Fire Marshal (Uniformed).
"The members of the UFOA lead the charge for New York 's Bravest," said Mayor Bloomberg. "I am proud that by working together, we have forged an agreement that both provides significant wage increases for UFOA members while maintaining the City's need to fund salary increases through cost-savings and productivity. This agreement provides the wage increases that the UFOA deserves and the management reforms and necessary flexibility to provide the safety and efficiency that the public demands."
"It's been a challenging round of bargaining and we believe we have reached an agreement that meets the needs of our members and protects our contractual rights," said UFOA President Gorman.
"We are very pleased with the terms of this negotiated agreement, which provides a significant wage increase for our deserving fire officers while providing greater flexibility that will improve management of the agency," said Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta.

TakeOn Productions returned to the Resorts World Casino for its 21st show last night with another great event for the New York fans. Several of the fights, including two of the three professional bouts, ended by TKO.
Jason Van Oijen (Dogen Gym NY) vs Georgui Smaguin (Pride Fitness & MMA NY)
An anticipated rematch after their first fight ended in a draw, both men came out hard, with Van Oijen, who had the distinct height advantage, getting the best of most of the exchanges, particularly in the clinch. After setting a very aggressive pace in the first two rounds, both men slowed considerably going into the latter half of the fight. Smaguin rallied in the 3rd round and threw several punches that sent the sweat spraying, but Van Oijen began unloading with kicks and hard combinations to the body in rounds 4 and 5, giving Van Oijen the win by UD as well as the 175 lbs TakeOn title.
Jay Matias (Sitan Gym NY) vs John Vargas (Valor Muay Thai, San Diego, CA)
The comain event showcased a beautiful technical performance by fan favorite, Jay Matias. Matias started slowly and looked very relaxed, holding most of his arsenal in check and striking mostly with his left side in Round 1. He unloaded with more power shots from his right side and increasingly complex combinations as the fight continued.
While the use of elbows in full rules Muay Thai bouts was only very recently legalized in New York, you wouldn't know it from the way that Matias put them to work on Vargas, particularly a vicious lunging lead elbow that penetrated Vargas's defense at will. Those watching closely may have recognized Monlit Sitpodaing in Matias's corner, who is probably in no small part responsible for the evolution in Matias style. To give Vargas credit, he showed incredible heart and was in the fight pushing forward and hitting back up until the moment that Matias ended it with a spinning back elbow that opened Vargas' forehead and prompted the guy sitting next to me to say, "Jay Matias wins by destruction." The fight was stopped at 2:35 in Round 4, with Matias taking the victory by TKO.
Cyrus Washington (Sitan Gym NY) vs J. R. Hines (Unlimited MMA KY)
Many fans were looking forward to watching Washington fight again in New York after catching his last TakeOn fight at MSG against Chike Lindsay. Sadly, it was over very quickly, as someone forgot to warn Hines that Washington has a really nasty spinning back kick. It's only all over his highlight reels, and last night we saw it again, landing flush on Hines' liver, ending the fight by TKO in Round 1.
Full Card & Results
Enfusion Live held another event in London, England today, with some more of their English talent on the card. The maine vent saw an Enfusion title on the line between Rittijack Kaewsamrit and Amine Kacem.
The main event went the full five round distance, with Rittijack getting a unanimous decision win. Rittijack clearly controlled the whole fight and didn't seem to have any trouble at all. Kacem was warned multiple times for throwing elbows and had two points deducted over the course of the fight.
After a number of opponent changes, Michael Wakeling faced Yassine Metiri and won quickly with a stoppage in the first round. Wakeling overwhelmed Metiri with punches, forcing two standing eight counts and finally knocking the Frenchman down to end the fight.
A grudge match between Andrew Tate and Marlon Hunt took place on the card at 85kg, with Tate controlling the whole fight, including scoring a knockdown in the first round and forcing a standing eight count in the second round.

Add a commentThe Hoost Cup went down this weekend, featuring a few interesting fights, namely Saenchai's first "Kickboxing" fight, which has sparked all sorts of speculation as to what his future might be and if he might be headed to K-1 as his sponsor Yokkao has insinuated at on Twitter. It doesn't hurt that K-1 head Mr. Kim has been seen visiting with Stefania, the mastermind behind Yokkao Extreme, either.
The results are as follows;
Yoshihiro Sato (R3 - Dec.) Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima
Saenchai (R3 - Dec.) Yosuke Mizuochi
Souta Ichinohe (R1 - TKO) Ryuya Kusakabe
Shu Ogawa (R3 - Dec.) Hiroki
Hukashi (R3 - Dec.) Yuto Tsujide
Satoko Sasaki (R3 - Dec.) Maria Pantazi
Now, as for Saenchai and K-1, it is no secret that K-1 is looking to re-establish itself with a new set of stars, and who better than one of the most famous Thai fighters alive today in Saenchai? Saenchai's flashy style has won him tons of fans all over the world and it would make for a perfect and entertaining fit for K-1. Seeing as though Saenchai's natural weight class is around 60kg and his tendency to fight up in weight it wouldn't shock me to see him at 65kgs.
As for Saenchai's relationship with K-1 right now it is still too early to predict what will happen, but LiverKick has been able to confirm that there have been preliminary talks between the two parties, although it is not clear how far these talks have gone.
Add a commentThere was yet another Road 2 GLORY USA event last night, this one featuring a Heavyweight tournament and a few familiar faces from last year's K-1 RISING in Los Angeles event, including James Wilson, Xavier Vigney and others. There were a few last minute changes in the tournament, but at the end of the night there was still one man standing, with that man being the relatively inexperienced Xavier Vigney who made his professional debut last year at K-1 RISING 2012.
Julian Walters (R3 - Dec.) Brian McVae
Xavier Vigney (R1 - KO) Jack May
Maurice Green (R1 - KO) Jerry Watterson
James Wilson (R1 - TKO) Steven Banks*
Semi-Finals: Xavier Vigney (R1 - TKO) Julian Waters
Semi-Finals: Maurice Green (R3 - Dec.) James Wilson
Finals: Xavier Vigney (R1 - KO) Maurice Green
*Banks was pushed over the top rope and out of the ring by Wilson, OSAC ruled it a TKO for Wilson as Banks was taken away in an ambulance.
Add a commentFormer French K-1 fighter Jerome Le Banner continues to fight past the age of 40 and continues to have success by carefully choosing his opponents, which for a fighter of his level and age is no shame, really. I don't want to see Jerome Le Banner fight against Daniel Ghita or Gokhan Saki at this point, I want to see Jerome Le Banner go out and put on a good show, which most people seem to agree with.
That isn't to say that his opponent yesterday, Roman Kleibl, is a "can" by any stretch of the imagination, but he's simply not experienced or big enough to really stand much of a chance against a fighter like Le Banner. It was a rough start for JLB in the first round, but some of his signature kicks were able to turn the tide during the second round, possibly breaking Roman Kleibl's arm and leading to a stoppage, giving JLB yet another victory.
The rest of the card saw Kharim Ghajji and Yury Bessmeryny go to a three round war with Ghajji taking the decision victory.
Add a commentFinal Fight 06 went down today in Croatia featuring a few big Heavyweight Kickboxing bouts, some of the bigger bouts that we'll see for a while it looks like, featuring Hesdy Gerges vs. Pavel Zhuravlev and Igor Jurkovic vs. Dzevad Poturak. This is on top of the whole rest of the card and we have your results for you. Hesdy Gerges picks up a decision victory over Zhuravlev in what was said to be a close contest that saw Gerges use his kicks to keep distance while Zhuravlev looked for the big knockout blow. Gerges walks away with the much-needed victory here.
The main event saw Igor Jurkovic live up to the hype that he's had behind him against a very tough Dzevad Poturak. Poturak, one of the better Heavyweights in the world, put up a valiant effort against Jurkovic, but Jurkovic cut off the ring and was able to dictate the pacing and control the fight, leading to the victory. Thanks to slash on Kakutougi.
Igor Jurković (CRO) (R3 - Dec.) Dževad Poturak (BiH)
Hesdy Gerges (EGP) (R3 - Dec.) Pavel Zhuravlev (UKR)
Laszlo Senyei (HUN) (R3 - Dec.) Ivica Trušček (CRO)
Miran Fabjan (SLO) (R3 - Dec.) Ivan Bilić (CRO), KB -81kg
Mladen Kujundžić (CRO) (R3 - Dec.) Nikola Dimkovski (SER)
Teo Mikelić (CRO) (R3 - Dec.) Samo Petje (SLO)
Add a commentEarlier today at Differ Ariake RISE held RISE 93, headlined by a 61kg matchup between 60kg champ Kosuke Komiyama and former 63kg champ Yuki. Also on the card was a matchup between Krush's Yukimitsu Takahashi and RISE #3 Lightweight Yuto Watanabe.
In the main event, Kosuke Komiyama was able to keep his distance and outpoint LiverKick #5 Lightweight Yuki en route to a 3rd round majority decision on scores of 30-28, 29-28 and 29-29. Yuki was unable to get inside and use his power while Komiyama exploited Yuki's weaknesses. This win is the biggest of Komiyama's career and could earn him a shot in a GLORY qualifying tournament next year, though I'm not so sure he'd want to move up to 65kg. Another intriguing matchup would be with Krush champion Hirotaka Urabe or SHIGERU, but he'll probably get an easier matchup as he is expected to fight again at RISE 94 on July 20th. Yuki was unable to bounce back from a one-sided loss to Masaaki Noiri, but put in a good effort here. He may not be a top 10 fighter for much longer due to his struggles against more technical fighters, but he'll continue to be a staple in the Lightweight division due to his power and heart.
In the co-main event, Krush veteran Yukimitsu Takahashi scored an upset just 16 seconds into the fight as he knocked out Yuto Watanabe with a head kick. Known for his flashy style, Takahashi had been more of a point fighter that put on entertaining brawls that rarely ended in finishes. However he picks up his biggest career win in impressive fashion, bouncing back from a loss to Shunsuke Oishi in a fight for the vacant J-Network title. Should he choose to fight for RISE again, I don't see why they wouldn't put him in a title match against Sun Hyun Lee or a #1 contender bout against Yuki. Watanabe had been on a tear lately, with the only blemishes on his record coming in a title fight against Yuki in which Yuki needed a huge comeback to win and against current 63kg champ Sun Hyun Lee, a fight that Watanabe lost in an extension round. This is a big step back for Watanabe, who expected a rematch with Lee if he had won this fight.
At 55kg, DEEP*KICK champ Seiya Rokukawa picked up a decision win over Masayosi Kunimoto. At Heavyweight, Hiromi Amada scored a decision over Kazuki Nojiri. At 60kg, 2012 RISING ROOKIES Cup winner Masanobu Goshu kept his undefeated record with a majority decision over KING. At 70kg, J-Network Super Welterweight champ Ichiro Morimoto knocked out Krush veteran Hareruya in the 1st round. At 55kg Hiroaki Mizuhara returned from a nearly year-long absence and was upset by Yu Kinjo, who scored a 2nd round knockdown and won a unanimous decision. At 63kg, Shohei Asahara snapped a 5-fight losing streak against 2012 RISING ROOKIES Cup winner Yuya Fujita. Finally, 2012 RISING ROOKIES Cup winners Yuta Murakoshi and Keisuke Niwa won their fights against Hikaru Fujikashi and Shunji Miyata, respectively.

directed by Jules
Adapted from the lowlife novel by Gerald Kersh, Night and the City is a baroque masterpiece of corruption, paranoia and doom that ranks among the true works of art in the film noir genre. Produced by Twentieth Century Fox, yet employing American, British and Continental personnel and filmed on the streets of London, it was directed by Jules Dassin, under suspicion in Hollywood for his political beliefs, who made it at great speed before he was blacklisted. Much of the filming was done in actual after-midnight hours, shooting night scenes in a London still shattered and skeletal from wartime bombings. Soho, Piccadilly and the Festival of Britain construction site on the South Bank were all locations. Richard Widmark delivers an indelible performance as Harry Fabian, a small-time American nightclub tout and desperate dreamer who tries to worm his way into the wrestling rackets of post-war London. In his path lie the formidable obstacles posed by a vengeful club owner Phil Nosseross (Francis L Sullivan) and the racketeer Kristo (Herbert Lom). The club owner's sultry wife (Googie Withers) schemes with him, and a long-suffering girlfriend (Gene Tierney) does her best to save Harry from himself. Like many a noir hero before him, Harry thinks he can outrun his fate. He's wrong. *** Deep within the bowels of shadow-infested London, two-bit hustler Harry Fabian (Richard Widmark) struggles to live a life of ease and plenty. Trailed by an inglorious history of go-nowhere schemes, Fabian stumbles upon a chance of a lifetime in the form of legendary wrestler Gregorius the Great (Stanislaus Zbyszko). But there is no easy money in this underworld of shifting alliances, bottomless graft, and sweaty, pummeled flesh and soon Fabian learns the horrible price of his overweening ambition. Night and the City is a crowning achievement of legendary director Jules Dassin and quintessential film noir. |

ADDITION: BFI - Region - 2 - PAL (October 07'): Firstly, it was hoped that this would be the British version of the film but I understand the rights for that are tied up somewhere. It would have made a poignant companion to the Criterion US version. Both of these DVDs are the US version. Surprisingly I feel the BFI dual-layered progressive image has a superior image (and feel) than the Criterion from 2005. This is only my opinion but I prefer the generally darker and sharper PAL edition in terms of image. Now it does exhibit more digital noise than the Criterion but I guess I am willing to acquiesce to that to see the DVD transfer that supports dark feel of the film more astutely (again my opinion). The BFI bitrate is higher. In regards to framing - there is some movement and zooming but overall I feel the BFI shows a shade more information (in many scenes) mostly at the bottom of the frame. I don't find this significant but if I don't comment on it I get emails. Audio is the same as far as my ears can tell - the 4% PAL speedup didn't seem to dramatically alter the pitch in my opinion. In the supplements - both offer an excellent commentary - I wouldn't dare choose one over the other but I really enjoyed Paul Duncan's' very professional manner. Glenn Erickson's is also wonderful and it's nice they bring up different points (although a few are duplicated). This could be reason enough to own the BFI! Both offer the same 1972 Dassin interview (excerpts) and 'Two Versions - Two Scores' featurette. Criterion go one step further with a 25 minute video interview with Dassin (another one). Both offer informative liner notes but between the two I might lean to BFI.
There you have it. If you love the film, as I, the BFI is
worthy if only for another commentary but you may also feel that the PAL
image is superior. Certainly the screen caps support them being sharper
(or at least the perception of being sharper). This film is a true gem
and I'm not unhappy to have both DVD editions and if I was going to
re-watch would probably choose the BFI.
RE: the Criterion - I don't think the image quality is up to par with
Siodmak's The Killers or
Fuller's Pick-up on South Street,
two other strong Criterion noir DVDs from the same period, but it is
very good nonetheless. Heavy contrast and a notch below on the sharpness
scale (for Criterion that is!). At times it shows excessive grain. Big nod to
Glenn Erickson's commentary - top notch stuff from a fellow DVD
reviewer. Great extras, great packaging, great subtitles - hey it's
Criterion!.. and we thank goodness for their existence everyday!

Michael Jackson and Madonna – Two Beloved 80s Stars
Michael Jackson costumes will be hot this Halloween. And I think that's great! It's totally acceptable to dress up as Michael. That's a fine tribute to his memory.
This is especially true if you consider "Thriller". Isn't this the ultimate Halloween song?
It's been 3 months since The King of Pop's untimely death and in another month "This Is It! The Movie" will be released in theaters across the country at the end of October.
I am saddened by all the sensational news coverage of Michael and his family over the last three months and glad it has started to die down.

The Legacy of Michael Jackson, The King of Pop
Michael Jackson died yesterday afternoon and the reality of this unexpected event is still sinking in around the world.
I watched the Jackson 5 on the Mike Douglas show in the 1970's. I watched, glued to the screen, Michael bloom into the King of Pop on the Motown 25th Anniversary special in 1982 and, like millions of others across the globe, I was blown away!
I listened to Thriller repeatedly in the coming years. I watched Michael's pioneering videos in the early days of MTV.
The Golden Girls Star, Bea Arthur Lost Her Battle with Cancer Early Today
Bea Arthur, star of one of our favorite 80s sitcoms, The Golden Girls, died earlier today.
Estelle Getty passed away last year. Both were loved stars of the 80s comedy, The Golden Girls.
We will miss them both very much, but thankfully both women left us a wonderful show to watch over and over again.
Sorry, but we could not find any full episodes of The Golden Girls, Maude, or even All in the Family.
That just goes to what classic 80s TV shows they are. Betty white has gone on to star in numerous TV specials and sitcoms well into the 21st century.
The US Festival Summer 1983 – A Day to Remember
As graduation approached in the spring of 1983, I began to plan, well hope is more like it, that I could attend the US Festival in Southern California.
This was four days of live music and entertainment from all those acts we saw on MTV (back when they used to play music videos).
There were very few artists who did not play at The US Festival.
From Van Halen to the Scorpions, to The Clash and Missing Persons, there were more than 100 bands and musicians at The US Festival.

80s Pop Culture is Represented Awesomely on Family Guy
Thank You Seth McFarland!
In 21st Century Speak, Peter Griffin lingo
This is Frickin' Sweet!
Just about every episode of Family Guy makes fun of the 80s.
This one is not only no exception, but from the Bryan Adams Rip-Off, and the Men Without Hats dance at the party, to the appearance by Megatron from The Transformers, this one is fully funny and an excellent example of what makes the 80s such good material for comedy!

Breakthrough role, playing ex-con man James 'Sawyer' Ford on the ABC ensemble drama series "Lost" |
Born in San Jose, CA on July 20, 1969, Joshua Lee Holloway was the second of four brothers in his immediate family, which relocated to Georgia when he was two years of age. Holloway grew up in the town of Free Home, GA, where he developed a fascination for acting and motion pictures at an early age. After graduating from high school, he attended the University of Georgia - funded according to him, by a brief but successful turn as a shoplifter - but left to explore a career in modeling. The job took him across the United States and Europe, but he eventually shifted his attention to acting. His debut as "Good Looking Guy" on the series premiere of "Angel" (The WB, 1999-2004) preceded a steady, if unremarkable, string of supporting roles and guest shots on television programs and in independent and low-budget features. His feature debut came in 2001 with "Cold Heart," which found him menacing Nastassja Kinski. He followed his less-than-auspicious debut with the comedy "Dr. Benny" (2003), the monster movie "Sabretooth" (2002), and appearances on the hit procedurals "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (CBS, 2000- ) and "NCIS" (CBS, 2003- ). He also appeared briefly in the Aerosmith music video for their single "Cryin'," as a purse thief who is caught and beaten after attempting to steal from Alicia Silverstone's vixenish heroine. All confirmed Holloway as a capable actor who could work in any genre, yet none were substantial enough to give him the boost his career needed. Frustrated by the lack of solid roles, Holloway received his realtor license to provide himself with a backup career option.
In 2004, Holloway's luck changed when he was cast on "Lost," though he nearly failed to land the part. In the middle of the audition, he forgot his lines and, in frustration, kicked a chair before completing the monologue. The producers, who initially envisioned Sawyer as a slick, well-dressed hustler, changed the part to match Holloway's rougher look, requesting him to add a Southern accent to the part. It was an amusing turn of events, given that Holloway had worked so hard to reduce his own real-life Blue Ridge Mountains accent after coming to Hollywood. In the early seasons of "Lost," Sawyer was an antagonistic character, hoarding valuables rescued from the crash and acting as a thorn in the side of the rest of the characters. Eventually, through flashback and his own actions, Sawyer shows his heroic side on more than one occasion; even a romantic streak in his affairs with fellow castaway Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and scientist Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell). Holloway's blend of roguish charm and wounded pride made him a favorite with viewers, especially women. Along with his castmates, the now recognizable actor received a Screen Actors Guild Award in 2006 for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. Less prestigious, but no less notable, were honors from various magazines that dubbed him among the most attractive stars on television.
Holloway's success on "Lost" did not immediately translate into stardom with other vehicles. The show's demanding schedule and Hawaii locations prevented him from taking several high profile projects, including a Western with Brad Pitt and the role of Gambit in "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006). He was able to star in an underrated supernatural thriller called "Whisper" (2007), which cast him as a kidnapper who discovers that his young hostage has dangerous psychic powers. He also lent his voice to a key character in the computer game, "Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars" (2007). That same year, he was chosen as the model for the men's fragrance Davidoff Coolwater. In 2008, Holloway joined the cast of the indie comedy "Stay Cool" (2009), as one of two deadbeat friends of a successful author who returns to his hometown to deliver a commencement address at his old high school. In 2010, "Lost" came to an end, giving Holloway more time to pursue other projects. Following a 2011 episode of "Community" (NBC, 2009- ), Holloway was called up to the big leagues to briefly play an IMF agent killed by a French assassin in the blockbuster hit "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" (2011). From there, he starred in the indie 3-D musical "Battle of the Year: The Dream Team" (2013) and was an FBI agent opposite Gary Oldman in the action thriller "Paranoia" (2013). Back on the small screen, Holloway made news when he was cast in the upcoming pilot "Intelligence" (ABC, 2013- ), where he played an intelligence officer implanted with a microchip that allows him to access the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

Notes |
"We lived in a trailer and had eight dogs, two horses, cats, a cow, a chicken. My dad put the trailer up for sale because he wanted to build us a home, but the sale closed before he finished construction. So my dad said, 'Boys, we're camping!' My brothers and I loved it. Every weekend we went to chicken houses for lumber. My dad once told me he built our entire house for five grand." - Holloway quoted in People magazine, May 4, 2005 |
Holloway was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" in 2005. |
"If I were single? Damn, I'd have one girl doing my laundry, one shaving me, one bringing me a cocktail and another one coming out of my tent all hungover." - Holloway quoted to Us magazine, May 1, 2006 |
"If you're a celebrity, people allow you too much leeway. I don't want to be that person. I want to be respectful and considerate of other people." - Holloway quoted in Playboy magazine, February 2009 |

Indagare member, T.H. spent the Christmas holiday in Marrakech staying at the Four Seasons and Kasbah Tamadot. Here are her impressions of the trip.
'Thank you for setting up our most delightful trip—we loved every moment of the experience. Our guide was terrific and the itinerary was a perfect mix of learning, history, relaxation and hands-on experiences. We especially loved the cooking class with the kids and the ceramics workshop was one of the highlights of the trip. The family who ran the ceramics studio was so lovely and talented.
'The Four Seasons (1 Boulevard de la Menara; 212 524 359 200) was so much better than I was expecting. It had a true Moroccan feel to it and the service was fabulous. It may be my favorite Four Seasons I've ever been to—including the George V!
'New Years Eve at Kasbah Tamadot was amazing. The communal dining, belly dancers and fireworks all made the evening very festive. We loved hiking in the Atlas Mountains and hanging out at the hotel.

A little starfield/spaceship loop with my music.
It's an amiga mod.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars July 4, 2012
Likes the song, but why not submit your music through the Audio Portal instead? It might be better off as such since the loop is not very interesting to look at. Maybe even use it in an actual side-scroller!
I love me some good chiptunes, so I hope to hear more of them from you, and keep working on those movies. 4.5 / 10

Lenses / Re: I have a weight limit....what would you bring?
« on: May 17, 2013, 12:30:07 PM »
It all depends what you want to shoot and your shooting style. If you are not into distant street portrait. 5D and 24-105 will handle most of the situation. Now you are down to one lens. With IS and f4 the lens can handle low light also. If you think that you will do a lot of low light shooting, get the f1.8 or 1.4 50. If you need something wider than 24, just use stitching.

The VeriSign Trust Seal which you have come to recognize as a symbol of trust on websites, is undergoing a rebranding and redesign.
The VeriSign Trust Seal will be renamed the Norton Secured Seal. This is expected to happen in April 2012. All VeriSign seals will automatically update to the Nortonâ"¢ Secured Seal at that time.
The design of the new seal follows the same form factor as the current seal with the circle and pill-shape, as well as the inclusion of the familiar checkmark. The main differences are in the color scheme and copy. The seal goes from the VeriSign cranberry to a golden yellow and gray.
Look for the new seal to morph its way onto a screen near you in April 2012.
To learn what it all means to you, visit...
Overview: The VeriSign Seal is an important offering for the company as well as a symbol of trust for many online. As we started to offer more ways customers could get the seal, it introduced some confusion. Customers can either buy the seal by itself or buy an SSL Certificate which includes the seal.
Problem: The VeriSign Seal page has two main goals - one, to help customers understand the two options for getting the seal and what the differences are; and two, to help them install the seal. The modifications we made the the existing page did not seem to be addressing this clearly enough. The first call to action on the page was to install the seal which seemed to suggest you could simply install the seal without purchasing it. And, the second call to action was to buy SSL Certificates which seemed to be divergent from the subject of the page as it didn't provide enough context as to why it located there.
In June of last year, the RapidSSL.com website got a new look and feel. What we did not change, however, was the RapidSSL Seal. Finally, the time has arrived and today, we have released a new, updated RapidSSL Seal.
Old RapidSSL Seal Design:
The new seal design follows the brand color scheme of the website - brown, orange, and yellow - in that order. Our goal was to create a fresh, sleek, modern, and easily recognizable seal that looks and feels like an...
There's a new "About Us" page on the site. This landing page was redesigned to reflect the changes we've recently undergone.
This section is very standard in that it provides information on who we are and what we do, provides in-links into the latest and greatest news about the company, awards we've received, our social media spaces to stay connected, and our global websites to serve you locally.
The page is designed to be clean, clear, and scannable. There are a few key messages which needed to be effectively communicated - about VeriSign Authentication, the acquisition, and the...
We've made some changes to the GeoTrust Website!
Cooler imagery + Multimedia + New messaging = New brand personality!
GeoTrust has always been an inexpensive, convenient, and reputable brand. And to further reinforce this, we've updated the site.
You'll now enjoy new content, new imagery, new lower pricing $$$, and more educational information such as in the resources section.
The imagery now reflects new photography integrated with hand-drawn elements. This new imagery strategy supports the content tone and personality. As well, the style is more real and puts a human face to the brand making it more personal and informal in nature.
We are happy to announce the launch of the redesign of the RapidSSL.com Website today. This launch marks the culmination of overhauls to the branding, information architecture, content, and look and feel. Like its namesake, the goal of the redesign is to make the site rapid - simple, quick, and easy for users to get in and out. Users will be able to quickly determine what their options are and get what they need. The site itself is flat by design to facilitate this quick and easy access - with success measured by users spending the least amount of time on the site yet still achieving their goals.
The new brand identity for RapidSSL is bold and distinct and includes, among other elements, a new color palette, logo, imagery, and typeface. In the case of RapidSSL, brown is the new black...
We recently rolled out the redesign of the VeriSign Internet Defense Network section of the site.
A key goal of the redesign was to enable users to learn about the service and ultimately, sign up for it. In terms of the look and feel, we wanted to make the pages visually rich and engaging. As a result, you will see the use of large graphics, some injection of color, over-sized text, and multiple videos. This is a good mix to play up or down certain elements, make the content more interesting, and allow users to consume the content in multiple formats - i.e. reading and/or referencing the graphics, and watching the videos.
Tim Callan, VP of Marketing for the SSL business, recently wrote about the newly redesigned Thawte Website.
We just launched the redesign of the watch.tv homepage last Monday. One of the elements that we had a lot of fun putting together was the digital media frenzy animation at the top of the page. There is a good amount of Web 2.0 features such as video, links to our social media spaces, integration of twitter and blog feeds, and an interactive carousel slideshow. The rest of the site will be catching up shortly. Check out the video below:
We have rolled out our new homepage redesign today! Select users will see the new page initially; some may see different versions of the new homepage as we are conducting tests. The final redesign will be switched over in the coming month when it will be available to everyone.
The goals of the redesign include improving the usability and usefulness of the homepage. Our hope is that it helps you to be more successful and productive as a gateway to accomplishing your tasks.
What hasn't changed on our homepage:
Here are the main changes you can expect to find:
Insights from the Symantec Design Community. We will keep you posted on what we are doing and look forward to hearing from you on how we are doing.

kraft ornaments
So this is I think my really truly favoritest thing. These are wonderful, they're called paper mache, they're not really, exactly. They're made in the Philippines, and they're really beautifully shapes, we have a whole bunch of different shapes that in it of themselves are quite lovely. We have ornaments and things that you can just hang in your windows, there are so many shapes, and you can see them all on the website. But then, wait till you see what you can do with glitter. Isn�t that just unbelievably beautiful? And here's a nice big flat star that is just magnificent. And then there�s the great big ones, and the little ones, and it goes on and on and on. And what I want to do is show you how easy it is to glitter them. And it can be a long afternoon project and you can do a whole bunch of them. You need a little drying time between colors, but let me clear off some of these wonderful big ones. I mean, picture this in a big window, it'd just be fabulous.
So, here are some ideas for some ornaments. And you can see on this one it's two colors and we did it unevenly, so two panels are one color, and one panel's another color. And here this one is where it was just down the ribs. It�s just amazing how much fun you can have. Let me show you this one again, this one is each of the triangles is a separate color, so it's tiny tricky to do, but not really. Maybe we should start out, let me show you how to do that one. what you need is PVA, how could we live without it, and you could use a big brush, if you're doing one of the big stars you're going to want a foam brush like this, but if you're doing something like this, you're going to want a little brush. And all you do is coat the piece that you want. And so I�m very carefully coating just the piece that I want. And if it goes off the edge, make sure you clear it off because you don�t want one color glitter where it doesn�t belong. And you can probably do two or three at a time, or you can do one at a time. Just make sure there's plenty of PVA on your surface. so there, I�ve got a nice thick coat and now I�m going to pick, I should have done this first, I'm going to color, here's one called fuchsia that is really bright, woo, my kind of Christmas. and I�m just going to put it on, you don�t have to use your fingers, you can use any device that you want, and you just bang it around, and you want it to really saturate and cover completely. Because once you do one color, you're not going to go back to that color. And I mean, isn�t that just insanely intense? And obviously I could have done so many more, but I want to show you some more techniques. and so here is a round ball and one of the things we've discovered is this wonderful little red tape, I�m not going to use this wide one, I think I�m going to use the narrower one. It comes in many different widths and if you were to paint your ball, if you were to paint your ball, come back here, you could paint it one color and you could complete it by putting a little layer or this tape right around the middle which you could then make into another color. And so what I�m doing is just this, and the trick is to have it line up at the end, and I did it, pretty darn well. I�m going to pull off the carrier, which is protecting it from being exposed. I always manage to look incompetent. I�m sure you can�t really see it much, but you get out another piece, uh oh, better to have had it done ahead of time. This is how I always do things. Get out another piece of paper and another color. And let�s just pretend I have painted this with gold paint. And now I�m going to put a red stripe around it. And so you can see this can be lots and lots of yummy layers on these things. And so here goes this. And because it�s a roll of tape it�s going to conform to a very straight line that I could have never painted. I could have painted a wobbly line just fine, but never this straight of a line. So again I�m just scooping this glitter up and putting it on the tape. It would have been darling if I had painted the ball white. And nice solution. Oh I see some spots I missed. Isn�t that amazing, the precision. It really looks like I knew what I was doing, and all it is a layer of tape. And obviously I could go down and around and I could make all sorts of designs with that. actually I don�t know why I�m treating that carefully, once it's on, it's on, it's quite excellent. So then there's one more technique before we finish all this. And that�s on this one, where you see it's all one color and then a fine line of another color. And all that is is another layer of again, either glue on the ridge or a real fine layer of tape. Either one would work. And here I have a swirly one, you can imagine that after a day or an afternoon of glittering what you want to do is take a nice hot bath. So that's pretty darn good, and I think you're also noticing how incredibly far the glitter goes. You think you're putting a lot on, but it's really a tiny tiny amount compared to the amount that's in the jar. Alright. Okay, maybe ill do fuchsia because I have this great big mess with fuchsia so that will be fun. Get my tape here. And so once again I�m going to put the fuchsia all over. And if you were to buy an ornament like this it would be so expensive and you would be stuck with red and green and gold and silver. And instead you can be creative and have some really wonderful looks. This is something that I think if you have a big bowl it'd probably be easier than having a piece of paper like this, especially if you wanted to do a whole bunch of them. Doing stuff like this really brings out the kid in you. And I think this is a great project for kids. You might want to do it outside with kids. So there you go, it's completely glittered, I need to bang all the excess, and if you don't bang it off, you�re going to end up with the glitter falling all over the floor when you decorate your tree. Isn�t that gorgeous all by itself? This is not so gorgeous, and there you are. Glittering on stars! By the way, you'll see it in our thanksgiving catalog, we did gourds, we just went to the grocery store and bought, you know gourds and glittered them. I can't tell you how wonderful they are. It's the kind of thing you can do a whole lot of, it's really really really really really fun and have a great day and do something creative the whole bloody day.

Parents, teachers, and other adults play an important support role in the National History Day process. You can help in many ways, while still allowing your child to have ownership over the final project. As a general rule of thumb, adult advisors can do things with History Day students, but not for them. Here are some ideas on how you can be involved:
Selecting a Topic and Doing Research
Creating a Project

City Of Miami Fails To Meet Its Own Financial Guidelines
A look into the City of Miami's finances this year shows the city failed to meet its own financial rules and benchmarks.
According to The Miami Herald, "Miami failed to comply with eight of its 13 financial standards in the 2010-11 budget year, according to an internal audit published late last month."
Among the shortcomings:
- The city did not keep $93 million in its reserves as it was supposed to.
- Its financial plans for the next few years did not properly consider the cost of city operations, the cost of repaying debts or setting aside money for reserves.
- The city's finance department did not put together reports at the end of every month as it was supposed to and it did not complete annual reports in a timely manner.
The city also faced problems putting together a budget this year. At first, it forced city union members to accept big cuts to their benefits because officials expected a budget shortfall. They later learned that they actually had a surplus.
For years, the city has been accused of being sloppy with its finances. However, a set of rules put in place in the 1990's was supposed to steer the finance department into better practices. However, the internal audit shows that many of these new rules have simply been ignored.

More On Frank Darabont's Departure from The Walking Dead. | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

Yeah, there was a lot of info in those links that you think would make the shareholders rise up and go all French Revolution on those in charge...but they won't. Simply because AMC is making money. They do not realize that quality=longevity=long term profit. So AMC cleans up on Walking Dead while riding the show into the ground creatively. HBO should be watching this story closely because there was a lot of talk from the Game of Thrones/Boardwalk Empire folks about diminished budgets. I have to point again to Fx. Always trying new things and they are willing to give a second chance to a show in order to let it grow an audience. Archer's ratings first season were not-so-good, yet fan word of mouth and critical raves bought it a second season. Now Fx cannot have enough Archer. Even shows they could not save(Terriers/Light's out...r.i.p.) the guy in charge did state of the union type apologies to the fans which came off very sincere. Say what you want, but thank God LOST snuck thru the cracks. TV does not reward creative ideas. There are at least 2 fairytale shows coming on...and I refuse to watch them until they get a second season. Which they won't. TV sucks...a simple rule of thumb to live by.
Jaysus I am in a ranting mood today.
**** you, AMC!Quote:
Not only would the show get a lower budget, but AMC also decided that "Walking Dead" would no longer reap the benefit of a 30 percent tax credit per episode that came with filming in Georgia. Now the network was going to hold on to that money.
**** you, Joel Stillerman!Quote:
Despite the show's success, AMC stuck to its original position on the second-season budget. When those involved with the show protested that the network was taking chances with its biggest hit, AMC's head of original programming, Joel Stillerman, is said to have declared, "Ratings have no bearing on this conversation."
It's hearsay, but if you're also pissing off Mad Men... **** you.Quote:
Darabont was editing the episode in an effort to fix it but by then, an insider believes, AMC was looking for a pretext. "Joel thinks he is responsible for the success of shows on AMC, and not the creators," this person says. This person blames Stillerman for the decision to fire Darabont. (Stillerman also has a strained relationship with Mad Men's Weiner, who declines to speak to him.)
It should have been obvious the way AMC repeated the original 6 incessantly and within a couple months announced a retread of the boxset that they were simply trying to recoup their investment instead of protecting the 'specialness' of their show. Do Not Buy new. I wish I hadn't already bought the first set.
Oh No They Didn't! - Kurt Sutter: 'Mad Men' Greed Hurting 'Breaking Bad' and 'Walking Dead'
Sons Of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter stirred up Twitter Thursday morning and it didn't have anything to do with the Emmy Awards. Sutter makes the compelling case that AMC spent so much money making Matt Weiner happy and renewing Mad Men that it is looking to slash costs everywhere else. Sutter thinks it's that which has led ultimately, to Frank Darabont being fired from The Walking Dead and all the chatter about Sony's negotiations with AMC for Breaking Bad not going well (reports of AMC looking to slash costs and episode counts).
