Wtb - 1911
Looking for a 1911. Better the quality, better the interest. Let me know what you have and if you don't want to post pics on here I understand. Give me a PM and I'll send you my # for pics. Thanks
January 11th, 2013, 05:54 PM | #2 |
Any particular budget or manufacturer you are looking at?
I have a Sig Ultra I may be coaxed into letting go. Just 30 PMC 230g FMJ through it the day I bought it. Have leather as well. Night sights, I added some VZ grips and screws to it. Leather is a UBG canute. Ive carried it a couple times, only for a few hours. It has also had the initial Frog Lube treatment and is lubricated with Frog Lube.

Potentially very interested. Have had contact for a couple Baer customs also. I'm not apposed to a couple/few different deals though. I like Sigs and own many but not 1911's. Please send some pics, specs and build sheet (if they provided it). Thanks man!
January 12th, 2013, 03:38 AM | #4 |
I will post pics here in the thread later today.
Its not custom other than the grips. Stock as the day I bought it. It came with 2 7 round magazines. Purchased from Total Firearms 2.5 - 3 months ago. I can verify the date when I get into the records. Here is the link to it from Sigs website... http://www.sigsauer.com/CatalogProdu...ra-nitron.aspx |
January 12th, 2013, 06:52 AM | #5 |
Here ya go. And yes, I am a slight idiot. Very slight though. I paid $970 cash out the door for the Sig. The grips and screws were $90 and the holster was $65. Make me an offer. I do have the stock grips and screws as well.
EDIT: asking price is $950. Last edited by opie; January 12th, 2013 at 12:22 PM. |

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A state program that pays unemployment benefits with prepaid debit cards is "problematic" because it hits jobless West Virginians with high transaction fees, according to a new report.
The National Consumer Law Center examined the 40 states that now contract with banks to issue debit cards -- instead of paper checks -- for unemployment benefits. West Virginia's program charges the highest fees in the nation for out-of-network ATM withdrawals ($2.75 each) and denied transactions ($1.75), the center found.
The NCLC looked at payment options, fees, and access to account information available to card users.
Since 2009, WorkForce West Virginia has contracted with JPMorgan Chase to provide the cards to people receiving unemployment. Today, about 87 percent of the state's nearly 97,000 unemployment claimants use the debit cards to get their benefits, said WorkForce West Virginia spokeswoman Courtney Sisk.
These cards can help people who don't have bank accounts, says the NCLC. People don't have to pay check-cashing fees, and they can use the cards to pay bills over the phone or on the Internet.
"Yet prepaid cards come with many fees that nickel and dime unemployed workers at a financially stressful time," the report's authors write. "Fees can drain precious dollars from families at the very time they need it the most."
The programs don't cost states anything, and they cut costs such as postage. The banks make money by charging transaction fees.
In West Virginia, the average unemployment payment is $266 a week, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
The NCLC had three ratings for states' programs: "problematic," "runner-up," or "best bet." It said the Mountain State could improve its debit cards by eliminating fees for balance inquiries -- currently 25 cents at out-of-network ATMs -- and offering paper statements.
"On the positive side, the [West Virginia] card offers unlimited free in-network ATM withdrawals, and the state recently added direct deposit, making it one of only three states to give recipients all three options: direct deposit, a prepaid card or a paper check," the report states.
WorkForce West Virginia started testing its direct-deposit program in April, and the service was ready May 10, Sisk said.
In 2009, state officials told the Gazette they would start a direct-deposit program by the end of that year because of complaints about the debit card program.
Dave McMahon, a Charleston lawyer who represents low-income people, said the state deserves credit for offering alternatives to the debit cards.

Microsoft: 68 percent of digerati use multiple devices at once
A new survey, paid for by Microsoft Advertising, found that 68 percent of computer users in five countries multitask on multiple devices at the same time.
The survey, conducted in Chicago, London, Toronto, Sydney, and Sao Paulo, looked at the different ways folks use multiple devices at the same time. The most common use of multiple devices is something researchers Microsoft dubbed "content grazing." Those folks, the 68 percent of computer users, will check email on their smartphone while watching television, for example.
The survey, conducted by research firms Flamingo Research and Ipsos OTX, found that 57 percent … Read more

Former Goldman quant strategies partners Ewan Kirk and Erich Schlaikjer's Cambridge-based Cantab Capital has assembled a robust systematic macro trading engine since starting their quantitative fund in 2007
The same is true of Cantab Capital Partners, the Cambridge-based systematic hedge fund firm led by CIO Ewan Kirk that manages the quantitative macro strategy – and which has thrived during a period of high market volatility, but one that has sparked fast-growing investor interest in systematic trading strategies.
In a few short years, and in the face of a major financial crisis, the firm has grown substantially. Assets aside, it has steadily expanded its headcount with an emphasis on hiring highly-qualified scientists from the University of Cambridge, with which it has a strong relationship. And Cantab has also branched out by offering its strategy...

It's amazing how much business comes in over Facebook. And I don't pay Facebook--or anyone--a cent.
It's amazing how much business comes in over Facebook. And I don't pay Facebook--or anyone--a cent.
I love Facebook. Maybe it's because I have a short attention span and a PR degree, but there's just something exciting about sharing news in small, informal tidbits with friends and colleagues. Facebook helps me stay on top of world events, popular culture, business trends and the personal lives of my friends and colleagues. And I'm very surprised how much real business my company gets from Facebook - without any paid advertising.
Here are six ways to do it.
In this day and age, putting up a firewall between your friends and your business associates--which many of us have done in the past--just no longer makes sense. Social media is designed to bring those barriers down, and they should come down. Your friends can help you in business, and your business connections can become your friends. That won't necessarily happen if you continue to compartmentalize both groups.

This USA made Craftsman 3/8 in. Drive Full Polish Stubby Flex Head Quick Release Teardrop Ratchet is a must have for everyone who uses ratchets. I bought this more on inpulse but now find that I use it more then I use any other ratchet I have. Another great thing about having and loveing thisCraftsman rachet is that with Craftsman Forever warranty I will have it forever! Great for small spaces. Ihave no Cons on this ratchet and believe you wont either.
Grinder marks above lever and polished over nicks and dings. "Made in Taiwan" printed on the back of plastic holder. Shame on you Sears. American citizens can't manufacture ALL Craftsman tools? Buyer beware!

I needed a short ratchet and this is the tool. This tool is solid and feels perfect in your hands. No rough edges. The gears feels smooth. I would buy another
via sears.com
so far its been smooth sailing. its perfect for ratcheting things fast. I always grease up my ratchets so that they can last me longer. the only con to my many pros is that craftsman didnt make a stubby ratchet that ISNT a flex head. if it was non Flex it would have been better.. Also, i do have a bit of a problem with ratchet # 44833 but i am waiting for the chance to give my review on that.

This is a good economical ratchet; very pleased.

I use this in tight places, mainly on small nuts and bolts from 10mm to 14mm, it's the right size. The stubby is easy to turn and use. For less than $25, it's a quality ratchet with lifetime warranty.

I love this ratchet, small, compact, easy to use and control, full of nice features and works great in tight areas, it has a flex head with quick release button to secure and release the socket. I use mostly on engine parts. It's a good tool you won't regret for under $25 dollars. Made in USA !

Freeport, IL
44834 Is another member of the 36 tooth ratchet family in the Craftsman Full Polished Line. At 5-1/2 inches in overall length and equipped with the adjustable flex head you will come to appreciate the ability to access tight areas. You will also find the easy-clean fully polished finish a plus as well. With the addition of a 3/8 inch to 1/4 inch adapter you may have just found your favorite ratchet for use with your 1/4 inch sockets. You need to remember that it is a 36 tooth ratchet and as such requires a 10 degree swing to engagement. For those of you concerned as to the Country Of Origin of the current offering of this ratchet, there is no need for concern. Prior to the submission of this review I took a close look and found it to be on par with the previous ratchet.

African American History RevisitedAfrican American Film Makers Explore Their Predecessors' Experience With Fresh LensFilm Event In SunnysideFebruary 17, 2014 / Sunnyside Neighborhood / Film in Queens / Queens Buzz. On Saturday evening, February 22nd, the East Coast premiere of Freedom Summer is being hosted at the Sunnyside Reformed Church. Emmy Award winning filmmaker, Stanley Nelson, will be on hand to discuss the making of the new film which premiered at the Sundance 2014 Film Festival in January. I spoke with Stanley via telephone about the documentary, which covers the summer of 1964 when Mississippi was burning. White Mississipians expected African Americans to bow their heads in deference and to step aside on sidewalks as white folks passed. Mississippi had a whole host of laws and customs set in place which denied African Americans their full rights as American citizens, and as fellow human beings. And anyone - white or black - who tried to question the norms; felt the wrath of the white supremisists who embraced the culture. About seven hundred students from around the nation [Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee] went down to Mississippi to help African Americans exercise their rights. Three of them - Michael Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Early Chaney - went missing. After intense media / television coverage and national outrage, the FBI began a manhunt. The victims' bodies turned up 44 days later. All three had been shot at close range. The photo above is a still from the film Freedom Summer. The documentary incorporates historical photos and media coverage and a little heard recorded telephone conversation between LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover. This report also includes background on film maker Stanley Nelson who runs a film making company / incubator in Harlem as he will be present to discuss film making at the event.

Flicks In Sunnyside Gardens ParkMore Fun Than A Barrel Of MonkeysSeptember 30, 2013 / Sunnyside Neighborhood / Film in Queens / Queens Buzz. Saturday night, in the neighborhood of about one hundred kids and about four hundred people in total, descended on Sunnyside Gardens Park for a soiree of food, fun and flicks in the garden. The event was hosted by Sunnyside Gardens Park and open to the general public. There was make-up, crafts, dance, food and flicks. The event was emcee'd by Ty Sullivan, the local tall, slim and very red mad hatter. Ty seemed to have a knack for getting the kids worked up over great cartoons like Betty Boop and Jack Frost. Like last years presentation of Flicks in the Garden 2012, Tommy Stathes provided the cartoon films. I arrived a bit after dark and had missed some of the fun, but quickly found a general willingness to share it post facto. Click here to read more about Flicks in the Garden in Sunnyside Gardens Park in 2013, including photo slide show. |
Jamaica: Queens Emerging Fashion DistrictJamaica Collection Showcases Fashion & Culture in QueensJune 1, 2013 / Jamaica NY Neighborhood / Fashion in Queens / Queens Buzz. I attended the Jamaica Collection Fashion Show Saturday evening at the Jamaica Performing Arts Center in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens. It was a beautiful summer evening as I approached the center, and people were standing outside, enjoying the calm cooling end of daylight. This is the second year that the Jamaica Center BID organized this event - designed to highlight the bustling business district of downtown Jamaica - the backbone of which runs from east to west along Jamaica Avenue. Jamaica is one of the more fascinating neighborhoods of Queens, rich in history as an agricultural and trading center dating back to colonial times; and rich in the modern multi-culturalism of 21st century Queens as well as being a significant metropolitan transportation hub. The Jamaica Center BID seems intent on nurturing the embedded community assets by showcasing them; and while they did a very nice job of it last year, this year they kicked things up another notch.

Queens World Film FestivalQueens Film Festival BeginsMarch 9, 2013 / Astoria, LIC & Jackson Heights / Film in Queens / Queens Buzz. I attended the 3rd annual Queens World Film Festival opening Tuesday night at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria. As I arrived, independent film producers, directors, writers, actors and actresses mingled in the lobby. A local TV film crew was interviewing one of the festival participants as I started mingling with the crowd. I met one man who has film showing Friday, another with a film showing Thursday, and a Belgian couple who co-produced a thirty second short that was to be shown at the opener tonight [they're shown conversing with City Councilmembers Dromm and Van Bramer]. It wasn't long before the festivities began, which included several speeches by sponsors [some are listed at the end of this report] and the Queens World Film Festival founders, Don and Katha Cato of Jackson Heights. |

IndieCade Comes To The East Coast
Video Games & Gamers Descend Upon MOMI
February 19, 2013 / Astoria Neighborhood / Film & Video Games in Queens / Queens Buzz. I attended the first annual IndieCade show at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria last Saturday evening. The show was an interesting blend of techno geek and techno cool, and most of the attendees were in their 20's and 30's. What struck me is that while the audience skewed a bit toward males, was far more balanced than I had expected. It seems the video gaming world isn't the predominantly male domain it once was.
I participated in a couple of the events, and spoke to some of the exhibitors and gamers about the show. Later this week we'll post a report, complete with photos, about the IndieCade show at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria.
Rise of the GuardiansAnimation Exhibit & Video at the Museum of the Moving ImageNovember 10, 2012 / Fashion Film & Music in Queens / Astoria / Queens Buzz. The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria just opened a new film exhibit about the soon-to-be released Dreamworks film, Rise of the Guardians. I'll tell you more about the exhibit, after I tell you about the film itself, which opens nationally, Wednesday, November 21st in movie theaters around Queens and the nation. In my mind, the movie is already a classic. The pop artwork is superb, the 3 D effects are the best I've seen [possibly in part thanks to MOMI facilities] and most importantly, the story is a well told tale - complete with Jungian archetypes and without any real violence. To a weather worn NYC public, this movie will be a welcome escape into a kinder, gentler, animated 3D world.

Persona Performa - Ming Wong At MOMIMuseum of the Moving Image Steps Out In AstoriaJanuary 21, 2012 / Astoria / Film in Queens / Queens Buzz. People were lined up outside of the Museum of the Moving Image [MOMI] on both Thursday and Friday nights. They were waiting to see Ming Wong's performance art production entitled Persona Performa. The production title tidily summed up its essence – an art performance based on an Ingmar Bergman film entitled Persona, which was being performed for Performa 11, the fourth biennial visual arts festival in NYC. Artistic director, Ming Wong, developed the piece during his residency at MOMI in 2011. He told us that the inspiration for the production came from the minimalist architecture of the museum and an Ingmar Bergman film, Persona, which is generally believed to be one of the ten best works of cinematic art.

Rock Concert Dampened By Weather… but the music played on …August 21, 2011 / Astoria / Live Music / Queens Buzz. The Astoria Music Now venue had to be changed early Sunday morning due to weather forecast predicting severe thundershowers similar to what we saw a week ago. To make matters worse, it didn't rain Sunday until after 4 pm, and even then it was only a quick light shower … but for those who followed the Astoria Music Now musicians into the Astoria performance venues around the neighborhood ... the music played on. Given that the venues were dispersed around Astoria, we saw far fewer performances than in prior years, so we'll link back to prior reports to give you a flavor of the concert musicians because there were a number of returning bands this year. We started at the Quays where we saw two new comers to the festival: The Sorely Missed and Jon Christopher who performed with two new accompanists - Jason playing bass guitar and Ben Nathan percussionist [see photo above].

Musical Saw Festival 2011 In AstoriaWhat's The Buzz – Tell Me What's A HappeningJuly 16, 2011 / Astoria Neighborhood / Live Music / Queens Buzz. I attended the 9th annual Musical Saw Festival this year. It was held at the Hellenic Cultural Center just off Crescent Street in Astoria. And while I had read about the festival for the past two years, and seen videos of it on the internet last year, I can now assure you that it's not nearly as good as being there. I arrived midway through the four-hour festival and many of the headlining talent had finished playing. But as a novice whose sole interest was to experience the festival, exactly who was playing didn't matter as much as it might to an aficionado. I had come to see, hear and talk to people who play music on their saws. Click here to read more about and see photos of the Musical Saw Festival in Astoria Queens NYC. |

Queens - The Home of JazzLouis Armstrong House Block Party & Jazz MobileAugust 20, 2012 / Corona Neighborhood / Live Music in Queens / Queens Buzz. The Louis Armstrong House hosted a block party last week, including one of the current jazz greats, Arturo O'Farrill. Arturo's work has been nominated for several Grammy Awards and he won the Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album in 2009 with the work entitled Song For Chico. The album is dedicated to Arturo's father, Chico, who worked with many of the NYC jazz legends including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman, as well as Latin jazz great Machito. Both Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman lived in Queens, and are said to have jammed with Louis at the Armstrong House in Corona. Arturo is shown above playing at the Louis Armstrong House Block Party in the Corona neighborhood of Queens. I also had the opportunity to speak with Robin Bell-Stevens, whose father played with Duke Ellington who was a friend of Louis'. Robin runs the Jazzmobile which was the sponsor of the event.

Queens World Film FestivalQueens World Film Festival 2013February 12, 2013 updated from February 29, 2012 / Jackson Heights / Film in Queens / Queens Buzz.

Check the March events calendar in the Things To Do section of this site [see top tool bar] - for films, viewing times and location - as the event approaches.

What's Playing At 78th Playstreet?Closed Street Quickly Becomes Intrinsic Part Of ParkAugust 5, 2011 / Jackson Heights Neighborhood / Queens Buzz. I went to check out Friday Night At The Movies, which spontaneously began the last week in July on 78th Playstreet next to Travers Park in Jackson Heights. Don and Katha Cato, organizers of the Queens World Film Festival, came up with the idea. And they implemented it with the help of a few friends, notably Elliott and Elena Madison of the Jackson Heights Green Alliance.

Fashionable Clothing in QueensCome To Fashion Show Features Local Designers & ModelsApril 30, 2012 / Jamaica NY / Fashion in Jamaica Queens / Queens Buzz. On April 21st the first annual Come To Fashion show stepped out into the fashion world in the Jamaica section of Queens. The fashion show featured local fashion designers, models and retailers doing business in Jamaica Queens. When I arrived at the Jamaica Performing Arts Center, I was pleasantly surprised by unique set design for the show. Jamaica Center, the Jamaica BID, had hired a designer to create an original venue through which to present the models and the designers' clothing.

Jamaica JAMSGood Music, Food, Variety & A Good TimeAugust 6, 2011 / Jamaica Neighborhood / Live Music / Queens Buzz. The folks in Jamaica sure know how to throw a party. I enjoyed Jamaica JAMS this year far more than last year, because the weather was much more comfortable and the streets weren't quite so crowded. This year I went in the late afternoon of the second day of the two-day event. Jamaica JAMS is a big Street Musical Festival and Shopping Fair. There were somewhere between a half dozen and dozen musical acts performing Saturday afternoon / evening and hundreds of vendors.

Queens Fashion Kicks Up Its HeelsSeptember 20, 2010 / Queens Buzz. I had the opportunity to cover Queens Fashion Week's second runway show. The event was held at NY Designs which is located on the campus of LaGuardia Community College in Long Island City. This was a nice change from their first venue, as NY Designs is in the business and has facilities to accommodate a runway show. There were six designers and some forty models, which was comparable to the first Queens Fashion Week show last winter. The diversity of the models and a wide range of designs, ranging from T-shirts to 1940's Hollywood, provided a flavorful spice to the evening. Click here to view the rest of the story including numerous photos of Queens Fashion Week Spring 2011. |
Irie Jamboree Reggae RocksJamaica / September 7, 2009. The seventh annual Irie Jamboree rocked Queens this past Sunday.

Thousands of Queens residents flocked to the concert to enjoy a great day of warm sun, great music and delicious food. The concert was held on the York College Campus in the Jamaica section of Queens ['Jamaica' does seem like a fitting place for a reggae concert]. Spice is shown on the big screen at the Jam.

The Astoria LIC Film FestivalFilm Festival Showcases Local Film & Musical TalentOctober 16, 2011 / Long Island City Neighborhood / Fashion, Film & Music / Queens Buzz. I attended some of the weekend long second annual Astoria LIC Film Festival. The Astoria LIC Film Festival presented 54 new films, including documentaries, comedies, shorts and super shorts; and thirteen music videos. Dennis Cieri and Bonnie Rush are the founders and driving forces behind the event. The opening and closing parties were held at the Z Hotel, which is one of the new hotels in Long Island City offering both a subterranean bar downstairs from the lobby, and a rooftop bar with a panoramic view of the city. The films were shown several blocks away, at the Secret Theatre and the E-garage, which are in the same complex; as well as at the Variety Boys & Girls Club of LIC. I attended the music videos segment of the festival, which was curated and hosted by an LIC musician, Gus Rodriguez, Sunday night at the E-garage. Click here to read the rest of our report on the second annual Astoria LIC Film Festival, including a review of many of the music videos, and excerpts from interviews with founder, Dennis Cieri and some of the festival producers, directors and actors. |
New York Irish Center In LICBrings A Bit Of The Old Country To The New OneJanuary 15, 2011 / Long Island City LIC / Queens Buzz. I went to hear Ashley Davis and Cormac De Barra perform at the NY Irish Center in Long Island City. It was my first visit to the center in a while, and the first time I'd attended a cultural event there. Harpist Cormac De Barra hails from Ireland, while singer, songwriter and guitarist Ashley Davis hails from Kansas. I became fascinated with the Irish harp, as this was my first experience listening to a harpist outside of a major classical concert hall. The Irish harp has long been a symbol associated with Ireland, along with pixies, fairies and Irish tales. The photo to your left shows Cormac playing the Irish harp.

1st Annual Astoria LIC Film FestivalOctober 24, 2010 / Long Island City / Queens Buzz. I attended the Astoria LIC Film Festival this weekend at the Secret Theatre in Long Island City.

They opened the festival Friday evening with a reception [BTW - you can always find these events posted before they happen in the Queens Events section of this site - updated weekly].

Sunnyside Shorts / Flicks In The ParkSeptember 10, 2011 / Sunnyside Neighborhood / Queens Buzz. It was a comfortable Saturday evening as I headed into Sunnyside Gardens Park. Upon arrival I met Sherri Gamilin, one of the four producers of the event. A small crowd had already gathered and a local blues band was setting up. In the photo to your right are members of the audience who came to watch Sunnyside Shorts and Flicks In The Garden in Sunnyside Gardens Park.

American Meat - Unfinished FilmDocumentary About Current State Of Food & FarmingFilm Making in Queens / Sunnyside Neighborhood / Food & Wine / Queens Buzz. I managed to obtain an invitation to a screening of American Meat, which is an unfinished documentary film, at Cafe Marlene in Sunnyside. The screening was sponsored by Queens Harvest Co-op, which is an organization working to build an organic food cooperative in Queens. The film is a rather eye opening look into how the economics of food / meat production in this country have taken us down an unsustainable path. A path which not only has significant health implications, but possibly even more dire consequences. The film provides an intelligent, behind-the-scenes look at how economics have been driving: 1) food production methods, 2) the composition of what's in the meat being sold at the grocery store, and 3) what we're feeding our children and ourselves. The film was envisioned and began production in the spring of 2007 and the producers are hoping to finish it in 2011.

After the festival there was animated chatter about the films which included a blend of comedy, drama, animation and documentaries. So I set about to interview members of the audience to see which film they liked best. And to my surprise everyone seemed to favor a different film - including me.

Fantastic article. Of course he is right in his Schumpeterian tone. One can only regret to see these days of Government helping banks & other losers. These banks deserve to die.
Well Mr Grove, I'm in the healtcare industry. I can understand that you would like us to have made more progress and can cure your condition. But we had to deal also with the programmed obsolescence of your products. We started to embed Intel microprocessors in 1980 with the 8085. It was already powerful enough , our customer loved the product. Then we were partially forced by your marketing to move to the 186 in the nineties. Again same success. Then again the 186 disappeared, and we would have had to redesign. And you know what happened ? We stopped manufacturing products with embedded processors. And we continue to sell the same product with "no Intel inside" "no software inside" like we did in the seventies, and our customer still love it.
I respect Andy Grove as a businessman highly. I agree with him that the banks and car companies should have been allowed to fail and other industries could learn from the tech industry.
However, it is a fallacy that the tech industry never received government help or support.
People forget that even the computer industry wouldn't have survived without government help. During the early days when hardware was expensive today's successful companies like Oracle, IBM , ... got a good chunk of revenue from government contracts when very few private companies or consumers good afford to buy them.
Even the Internet which most Americans now think is private was started with tax-payer funded government money, a DARPA project.
The world needs more people like Andrew Grove. Excellent article.

Lesley's new visual identity reflects a creative, collaborative community of educators, artists and counselors.
Friday, February 07, 2014
To do this we had to change not only what we say, but how we say it. The look and feel of our communications had to transform—to be bold, creative, exciting, and energized.
Lesley's new identity is the culmination of months of research and conversations with thousands of of university stakeholders. We spoke with alumni, faculty, students, and staff to understand Lesley's history and aspirations, and we used the information as the foundation for our creative approach.
As part of this complete overhaul of Lesley's identity, we seized the opportunity to take a fresh approach to the university's logo. At the outset of the process, more than 2,000 stakeholders offered feedback on initial options. Hundreds of sketches, concepts, refinements, tweaks and font choices later, the new logo came to life as a dynamic representation of the university.
The eye-catching logo captures the creative, collaborative community of freethinkers, educators, artists and counselors who make up our alumni, students, faculty and staff. It is designed to communicate Lesley's commitment to creativity and interdisciplinary instruction.
"Lesley's new logo and brand is consistent with the university's history, but also projects a contemporary and engaged institution," says President Joseph Moore. "The new messaging reflects our authentic identity as an organization that fosters creativity, learning and service of the highest quality, and in the Lesley spirit, the process was a true collaboration among faculty, alumni, students and friends."
The project, led by Lesley's creative team, was an exercise in collaboration. Designer Michelle Side, who earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in design from Lesley in 2011, conceived the original idea, and a team of designers worked alongside her to refine it, including Geoff Fried and Jim Hood, faculty from Lesley's College of Art and Design.
"It was an exhaustive process to add to it and tweak it, and then there was this magic moment when it all came together," Michelle recalls with excitement. "I've been doing branding work ever since I graduated college, but this has been a really interesting project to constantly consider all the audiences and incorporate what everyone is thinking. The community helped create it."
The university is proud to say that the logo was developed, from start to finish, as a collaborative, visual representation of the past, present and future of Lesley University. The intertwining "L" shapes speak to the interdisciplinary nature of the institution, while the imagery of interlocking links serve as representations of how four distinct schools fit together as one cohesive university. The font is Sentinel, a typeface that harkens back to the Enlightenment, evoking a sense of heritage worthy of Lesley's rich 105-year history.
At the same time, the dimensionality of the logo reflects the university's creativity — not exclusive to the arts, but across everything we do, from how we approach our curriculum, meet the challenges of the education system, tackle mental health policy, and more.

Battle lines are forming as Governor Brown prepares to roll out his proposal for the Delta
Good news, bad news for California: we're well-prepared but still vulnerable.
A controversial bill would ensure water for Central Valley farms — but at what cost?
A report pinpoints critical areas in California for protecting critters.
Thursday's snow survey found a Sierra snowpack that's 106% of normal statewide, prompting the DWR to increase its water delivery estimate for 2010.
A barrage of spring storms saves California from a fourth straight dry year–but still leaves a hangover from a three-year drought.
Both state and federal water managers make cautious upward adjustments to projected deliveries.
Everybody has an opinion about California's increasingly pinched water supply. Trouble is, according to a new report, most of them are wrong.
With key reservoirs hovering around half of the their "normal" levels, state water officials predict another summer of stingy allocations.
Does climate change spell doomsday for California agriculture? Not necessarily, say some growers on the cutting edge of water-saving technology. How do you like them apples?

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 373
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by PrimeTime Nice Hotel
Our family of four stayed for an overnight. The hotel property itself is well maintained and deserving of its AAA four diamond rating. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Check-in was one of the quickest and most efficient I've experienced.
The room had newer contemporary furnishings and was very comfortable and clean.
I would stay at the Intercontinental again and highly recommend it. It is conveniently located to the CN Tower, Ripley's aquarium and the subway.
My only complaint is that the valet parking rate was a bit steep at $45.00 a night.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Ricky Bobby Great Service from staff that go above and beyond expectation
I have stayed at this hotel as both a short and long stay client. I am always impressed by how friendly staff are and how they work to ensure you are happy and satisfied. The staff at this hotel make the difference. Vera, Todd, Charise, and all the staff on the Club floor are extremely accommodating and happy! The staff in the Azure restaurant all work hard to ensure you are satisfied and the food is excellent!
The only advise is to the hotel management regarding the club floor rooms - they are very clean, and spacious, however its time for an update and to consider replacing the beds to more modern.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Alicia0720 Excellent Hotel
My husband I stayed at this hotel for the first time this past weekend. It was in a great location (right next door to the convention centre) and there is a lot going on around the hotel.
The hotel is extremely clean - and up-to-date. I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the hotel rooms - and we received a complementary upgrade which was also nice. We enjoyed the view of the CN tower (especially at night) from our room. We did face the train tracks, but I didn't hear anything (and I am a light sleeper). The bed was extremely comfortable as were the pillows and we both remarked about the great sleep we had.
My only complaint is a small one - because it is attached to the convention centre, and the car show was on - we had trouble with parking. By the time we arrived (shortly after 12) there were no parking spaces left even for hotel customers - meaning that we either had to pay for valet, or find another lot. I was a bit disappointed because I felt they should have enough open spots for paying hotel customers. A minor detail - but perhaps something management could consider?
Overall I would highly recommend the Intercontinental - the rooms were great and very spacious and we truly enjoyed our weekend away! We will be coming back!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Br79 Recommended my friend and her family
During NYE2014 stay my friend was with me, she was impressed with the service, room and location. So she asked me if I can help her if they stay in this hotel with her parents.
Since my friend asks me for some hotel recommendation on where to stay with her parents visiting from Germany, so I organized everything for them.
I did everything for them and informed the staff that they were visiting, I also spoke with the Concierge, she was very helpful as well. Since my friends parents didn't speak English, she was able to talk and entertain them, this made my friend's parents feel a lot more welcomed. Excellent service!
They also had access to the lounge which they really enjoyed, food and coffee was great and of course the staff were very friendly.
Their room was perfect and spacious, they had a great view of the CN tower and walking distance to some of the nice attractions.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Adele55 Wonderful and considerate staff, very large room
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent weekend stay at the Intercontinental hotel. The staff went above and beyond their required duties to make us feel comfortable. Even though I have a gluten allergy, our server in the Azure restaurant, Paula, made sure everything was safe for me to eat. I was celebrating my birthday over the weekend, and the server brought me a complimentary bowl of mixed fruit and a "Happy Birthday" chocolate, which I found was very thoughtful. The room was very large and the bed was quite comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Bronte77 Comfortable bed and great service
Thank you for the wonderful stay at your hotel on February 8th. Your location is particularly convenient to many venues: we especially appreciated its easy access to the Path system, Ripley's Aquarium, Union Station and the Air Canada Centre on such a cold weekend. From the front desk to the Azure restaurant, the service was excellent and courteous. The newly renovated room, (2200) gave us a fantastic, constantly changing view of the city and waterfront, which we thoroughly enjoyed.

How Wired Jacked Mike Siwek's #1 Google Ranking
A lot of people linked to a Wired article earlier this week titled "How Google's Algorithm Rules the Web," by Steven Levy, calling it a must-read. If you're a search geek (and if you're reading this, your probably are), the article probably doesn't communicate much that you don't already know.
The most interesting thing about the piece, actually, is an example contained within the article, meant to illustrate how Google outperforms Bing on a pretty basic query. But the example doesn't work anymore—not how the author intended it to—only illustrating how little the average person (even the average tech journalist?) understands search engine algorithms. "The algorithm is extremely important in search, but it's not the only thing," says Brian MacDonald, ... > Read more
Monthly Blog Roundup: WordStream's February Highlights
February: Kind of a pathetic little month, isn't it? Cold, wet and short. Like a dog left out in the rain. I can't imagine anyone picking February as their favorite month. It would be like having taupe as your favorite color. Or oatmeal as your favorite food. (Cold oatmeal that is.) Luckily this dumb month is pretty much over and that means it's time for our monthly list of the WordStream blog's greatest hits!

A Balanced PPC Diet: Balancing Head Terms with the Long Tail
All too often we search marketers get overly consumed with the concept of long tail keywords. We read about it in blogs and articles and increasingly the long tail is preached as the solution to all your pay-per-click problems. Certainly the benefits of the long tail are undeniable; by targeting long-tail phrases we focus our efforts around more targeted search queries and generally find less competition among advertisers.
However, as with any diet, we need to remain balanced. By eating only lettuce and vegetables, we're sacrificing protein and other nutrients that come with fattier foods. Likewise, by only targeting the long tail, we sacrifice the valuable benefits that competing for head-tail terms may provide. So what are the benefits of head terms? First, these more genera... > Read more

38 Things You Could Do With the Time You Spend on Facebook
Nielsen reported this week that Facebook is now officially the web's biggest time suck (or time sink, if you prefer), with the average American user clocking in at over seven hours of Facebook use per month – which doesn't sound all that shocking compared to how much TV the average American watches: 153 hours per month, and that's just at home, not counting sports bars, the Internet and so on.
Holy crap, people, turn off the TV – you're probably missing something on Facebook! Nonetheless, it's a lot compared to other online activities – seven hours per month is more time than we spend on Google, Yahoo, Bing, YouTube, Amazon and Wikipedia combined. (Holy crap, people, turn off Facebook, you might be missing something on YouTube!) Occasionally we all make bad choices when it comes to h... > Read more

What Ever Happened to that Internet Meme?
Everybody loves an Internet meme. They come into our lives, entertain us and everyone we know for three minutes or so, and then as quickly they are gone. Some, of course, are more tenacious than others (ahem, Rickrolling). Do you ever find yourself wondering what happened to that one guy in that one viral video? Wonder no more! I did the bare minimum of research to find out what some of our favorite Internet memes of the past few years have been doing with their lives since.

Google Buzz: Is Google's Would-Be Twitter Killer Buzz-Worthy?
Google this week took another stab at social with the release of the unoriginally named Google Buzz, which was rolled out to Gmail users soon after Tuesday's announcement. As Matt McGee points out in a post on Search Engine Land, Google Buzz – basically a stream of status updates and shared items – is intended to compete with Twitter, Facebook, and even Foursquare, given its mobile features.
There's been a lot less hype surrounding Buzz (ironically?) than there was for Google Wave, which may mean that Google was wary of more buzz backlash. Hype or no hype, among non-tech-geeks I know, the initial "buzz" was very similar to the reaction to Google Wave: What is this? What is it for? So is Buzz really a threat? According to Marshall Kirkpatrick, yes – it's disrupti... > Read more

Do I think the days of easy manipulation via links are gone? You betcha! Do I think SEO will require more "marketing" knowledge, not link algo manipulation? Oh Yeah!! On that point I'm of the opinion that third-generation SEO ("the blogging linkerati") is dead; "on-page" algos are still important because they are tied to query relevance, and unwanted manipulation using text makes it easier for search engines to determine intent.

Is There Value in Blog Comments, or Are They All Spam and Trolls?
My friend Jessica, who has been blogging since at least 2006, warned me the other day that as my blog gets more popular, the comments will get progressively more annoying, truculent and even abusive. Though she is young and lovely, she said this with the tone of a knobby old seer. I chuckled nervously and tried to dismiss her prediction—I love my blog commenters—but I wasn't sure how to respond.
So my ears pricked up, or my eyes, or something, when shortly after this, Danny Sullivan tweeted that Engadget is turning off comments for a bit. In the announcement post, Joshua Topolsky wrote: Hey guys, we know you like to have your fun, voice your opinions, and argue over your favorite gear, but over the past few days the tone in comments has really gotten out of hand.

Getting Social with SEO and the Twitter Quandary
This is a guest post by Blake Bowyer. Blake is a social media marketing enthusiast and Media Program Analyst at D.C.-based EyeTraffic Media, a digital marketing firm specializing in top-notch online campaign execution and measurement. You can find them at eyetraffic.com and follow them on Twitter at @EyeTraffic.
Join the conversation, but don't try to dominate it for search's sake. The beauty of Twitter is that a 140-character limit allows anyone to chime in. You don't have to be composing bi-weekly novellas with flowery prose to get heard on the Web. All you need is a half-coherent thought and some shorthand at your disposal. Of course, that ease is also a curse for the many netizens who end up listening to people who have nothing to say. And now that social media messag... > Read more
Ten Ways to Improve Your AdWords Click-Through Rate (CTR)
One of the best ways to save money on your AdWords campaign is by improving your click-through rate (CTR), or the percentage of viewers who actually click on your ad. A higher click-through rate leads to a higher Quality Score -- a grade Google applies to your AdWords keywords and ad groups. When you have a high Quality Score, you pay less for better ad spots.
Here are 10 steps you can take to improve your AdWords click-through rate: Include promotional offers, attractive adjectives, and calls to action in your ads. People are more likely to click on your ad if you tout a special promotion, like free shipping. Also, words like "save," "easy," and "new," and calls to action like "buy now," "reserve today" and "call now," can prompt a click. Put your keywor... > Read more
Recommended Reading: PPC Blog, from the Folks Who Brought You SEO Book
My favorite way to find quality blogs (and books and movies, for that matter) is via recommendation. Towards that end, I thought I'd share a PPC Blog you might not be reading (every so often we share a list of our favorite search and online marketing blogs). Aaron and Giovanna Wall of SEO Book fame (see our SEO Book review here) have started collaborating on a sister site that focuses on PPC.
The content is really strong, offering a very similar level of high quality how-to and industry trend material. They recently launched a very clever AdWords tax calculator that can help give you an indication of how much you might be wasting on paid search. Here is some of the content they've churned out so far: A PPC Copywriting Guide A Post on Leveraging Search Query Reports (Though of course we a... > Read more

Looking for a way to somehow acquire 157 million yen before he is cut up by gangsters, he stumbles upon a rich girl whom he can kidnap and ransom. The only problem: he's a terrible criminal, and ends up saving her life from other would-be kidnappers and apparently confesses his love for her. In order to work off his debt, the girl, Nagi (who is convinced that Hayate is in love with her), and her maid Maria (who knows otherwise), allow him to work as a butler at their mansion.

(Actually, he's more like the tsukkomi in a world of boke.)
