Just wanted to show everyone my logo design that I just finished! Its similar to one that I showed on here a couple months ago but made a few changes and I think I'm finally satisfied with it (for the time being) But if anyone has any other ideas or critiques let me know!!!
The jaggies on the coal bother me. It looks really blurry compared to the crisp flames. Neat logo though.
Wow! I had never even noticed the diffrence between the flames and the coal!!! But now that you point it out it's really bothering me! Guess I might have to do some revisions after all.
As said before the coal looks low res, you want to make sure logos are all vector. The vertically stacked type is hard to read ("Coal Room" more than "Brewery), might try doing it horizontal along the bottom of the graphic. You could put the "Est 2011" in white in the bottom of the coal part with the font a tad smaller maybe in a San Serif.
Just my 2 cents. Keep it up!

U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri may seek a presidential emergency declaration in an effort to keep barges moving on the drought-riddled Mississippi River.
The Army Corps of Engineers on Friday began reducing the outflow from an upper Missouri River dam in South Dakota. That means less water coming down the Missouri and into the Mississippi River. The already-low Mississippi River level is dropping as a result and could get so low that barge traffic will be severely restricted or even halted by mid-December.
Nearly 80 members of Congress, three governors and many waterway operators have asked the corps to reconsider. Blunt said in a telephone news conference Tuesday that the next step is to evaluate asking for a presidential declaration that would restore the Missouri River flow.

Lafayette's Patrick Conner, who lost 55 pounds since joining
Patrick Conner is a hard-working, 34-year-old single dad to two kids who mean the world to him. After receiving the diagnosis of fatty liver disease in September 2012, he wondered if he would be around to see them grow up. "The doctor told me I needed to lose weight because I was unhealthy and this disease could threaten my life with cirrhosis of the liver," says Conner, who weighed in at 295 pounds at the time. He immediately headed to a traditional gym and tried dieting, but his hard work resulted in yo-yo weight loss. In December, he stepped foot into a local CrossFit. "My life was forever changed," he says.
After only three months, Conner now weighs 240 pounds and has reversed his fatty liver disease. In fact, his doctor has called him the poster-child for beating the disease as it takes many people years for this reversal. Without CrossFit, Conner believes he would still be overweight and sick.
I share Patrick's love for CrossFit. The daily physical challenges have not only helped lighten my load 30 pounds since last July but also opened doors in other aspects of my life. What began as a quest for physical health has also healed my spirit. When going to a gym, weight loss is expected, but I never thought I would gain so much confidence and just feel like a better person overall.
How could stepping outside of a comfort zone of "dread-mills" and a traditional gym setting lead to all this?
People see CrossFit as a craze that will fade like the sweat from my brow. A growing sport defined as "constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement," CrossFit is more than another trip to the gym. There are no true exercise machines; humans are the machines — a combination of gymnastics skills, Olympic weight lifting, pylometrics, sprinting and metabolic conditioning. CrossFit.com describes it best: "The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree, not kind. Our hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen. We scale load and intensity; we don't change programs."
But what it really boils down to is this: fitness, community and sport. It's difficult to define, but once experienced, becomes addictive to the core. And none of this would be possible here in Acadiana if it wasn't for some hard-working locals who had a dream and followed their visions for building a fitter community.
Each of these affiliates is unique but together complete. They are not franchises. They are the product of lots of hard work and determination by people who loved what CrossFit did for them and were willing to take a chance as small business owners in hopes that others would engage in their passion. All believe in a no-frills facility and that getting sweaty gets major results. What they offer is not time-consuming and can take anyone at any level and give them something to work for.
Wesley Sun Chee Fore opened the doors in December 2009 of CrossFit Lafayette on Ambassador Caffery, but there was a time before that when he was desperate to share the benefits of CrossFit with others. In the early days, he and a few other trainers did whatever it would take to get people fit: hauling equipment to local parks or homes of people willing to lend some space. "There wasn't a facility in Lafayette that could handle the workouts; it was an untapped market," says Sun Chee Fore. Almost a year later, Lafayette had another option across town on Cajundome Boulevard through the work-horse efforts of Jeremy Hohle at Ragin CrossFit.
"For the first six months, I coached all 10 classes every day and managed a bar on the weekends," Hohle says. "Having a second job and not paying myself [from Ragin] helped me survive the first eight months." When he debuted in November 2010, he had 20 members and now has 275. He attributes his success to not going into debt, starting small, and his knowledgeable coaching staff.
A big plus at CrossFit is the coaches who serve as mentors to push people daily to become a better self than yesterday.
Not even thousands of miles and the sands of Iraq could stop the vision of a box of their own for husband and wife owners Beau and Natalie Armentor. Beau was introduced to CrossFit by members of his troop in Iraq and instantly found a passion he couldn't wait to share with Natalie. While he was away, Natalie began to do the research and made a business plan, exhausting every option to bring their idea to fruition.
The Armentors knew not a soul in the Lafayette CrossFit community when they opened the doors of Ole Glory CrossFit in Broussard in May 2011, only a few months after Beau's tour of duty ended. The area seemed like a logical location with booming growth of the Broussard/Youngsville communities and oilfield workers near Highway 90.
"The community aspect attracted us to CrossFit," says Natalie, a former school teacher. "Our main goal was to build an atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable." She now knows all of her members' names and just about all of their children; 70 percent of the memberships are families. More recently, Natalie has shifted focus to the growth of expanding the CrossFit Kids activities. She's added a teen's only class and is planning Spring Break and Summer Camps for kids ages 4 and up.
Affiliates continue to expand in our area. CrossFit South Acadiana on Jefferson Street next door to The Juliet Hotel joins the ranks this month. Owner Jake Beebe knows he's the new kid on the block but is anxious to fill the need of Downtown's fitness community. He hopes to draw not only from local businesses in the area but also from UL Lafayette students living nearby. Even before opening, he received more than 30 inquiries to pre-register through online interest from people who stumbled upon his site. "I was determined to do this," says Beebe. "I was going to keep going until the last bank said no [on financing]." With the interest that's already been generated, he hopes to outgrow his current location and expand into an existing space next door. He will offer four classes a day but plans on expanding the schedule closer to summer.
CrossFit is on the rise not just locally; it's a national movement. And there really is something special about this concept of a CrossFit community.
I can attest to the fact that coming together for a common need of fitness nurtures the soul as friendships are built, families are strengthened and unknown needs are met. For this, I thank the owners of the eight CrossFit locations throughout the area for paving the way that will lead to a healthier Acadiana from the inside and out. And I know there are other owners just waiting to make their move.
Cracking the Code: Translating CrossFit-ease into English

CF: "New PR today; I love my box for cheering me on during that WoD."
Translation: A new personal best performance was achieved at the gym in today's workout. Most workouts last thirty minutes of less but require full-force effort in that short amount of time; it is as much mental as it is physical.
CF: "I hate Fran. She's awful. And so are thrusters."
Translation: A named benchmark workout part of "The Girls" series which includes pull ups and a series of Olympic lifts known as thrusters. But she really is awful.
CF: "OMG, The Games competitors are going to be fierce. #fittestonearth."
Translation: No one is about to play checkers. The CrossFit games are an annual final competition after a series of qualifying events worldwide where winners are crowned "Fittest Man/Woman on Earth." A true test of fitness. Football has the Superbowl, trathletes have Ironman and CrossFit has The Games.
CF: "Work hard, play harder."
Translation: All thehard work together in the gym is resulting in some fun times together. CrossFit is known for community. While we "go hard" daily, we also love tailgating, crawfish boils and family picnics. You know the saying,"all work and no play," holds true in the gym as well.

AUG 29 Everyone who cares about Louisiana should take time to peruse this story about coastal loss from Bob Marshall of The Lens. It's not enough to call it a story; it's an interactive experience packed with data and amazing graphics, timelines, history, photos and excellent writing. Set aside some time, because you can't go through this one in a few minutes.
JUN 29 This bizarre story from the Advocate on the shooting of a Baton Rouge television personality reads like the script of a soap opera - but not a good one. The allegations against him include sexual abuse of children, including the alleged shooter, and a sham immigration marriage involving his own daughter. The other side? He was a chaplin for the Sheriff's Office in Baton Rouge and preached in a local church.
AUG 29 Here's a story from CBS News about a killer amoeba found in the water system of St. John the Baptist Parish. The story made all three networks (CBS, ABC, NBC) as well as Fox "News," although they have not yet found out how it is Obama's fault. Seriously, the good news is that so far officials know of no one sickened by the water.
AUG 29 Huffington Post has a blog called Love Letters, which is grandly described as "an anthology of reflections on places the world over." This entry is from LSU Football Coach Les Miles, who, it appears, loves Baton Rouge. (Of course he does; he's a rich straight white man.) And certainly Baton Rouge loves him - unless he loses (ask Curley "Golden Flake" Hallman about that) or leaves (ask Nick Saban).
AUG 29 Blogger Bob Mann comments here upon Governor Bobby Jindal's federal lawsuit about Common Core. Mann calls it a "thinly veiled campaign document" and that might be the nicest thing he says in this post. Most troubling for Jindal and his aspirations, Mann has unearthed what Bobby said just a few years ago when he first decided to shove Common Core down our throats.
AUG 29 Blogger Tom Aswell has several developments here related to the so-called Edmonson amendment. The most entertaining one is possibly Tom's acknowledgement that a State Police official is (allegedly) calling the bloggers covering the story some colorful names. Listen up, cowboy: You really think two veterans like Tom Aswell and CB Forgotston care if you call them idiots?
AUG 29 Gotta love those journalists who write something with the enthusiasm that implies they're the first one to figure something out. Mostly, they're not. This is one of those times; the post on Slate Magazine says that Bobby Jindal's Common Core lawsuit is a political stunt. Well - Duh.
AUG 29 This story by WVLA tells us about a guy who got busted for speeding in Baton Rouge. Who cares? This guy took that infraction to new heights by going 129 miles per hour on Nicholson Drive. Poor fella - he probably has spent so much time sitting in Baton Rouge traffic he just had to cut lose.
AUG 28 As the controversy surrounding the Office of Group Benefits intensifies, blogger Tom Aswell gives us some background on the current problems. The OGB, which handles health insurance for current and retired state employees, is deep in the red since it was privatized by Jindal, and Aswell gives us the skinny: this great plan was designed by ALEC. The company handling it? Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana - a longtime member of ALEC.
AUG 28 Blogger CB Forgotston has a concept for a new reality show: the wives of the "Dork Dynasty." That's the name that some troopers have given to State Police Commander Mike Edmonson and his inner circle. The ladies CB has picked for his cast are not just housewives, however, and the connections here are pretty interesting.
AUG 28 Blogger Ian McGibboney is writing about the strife in Ferguson in this post, and articulating what many people down south are saying. There's a fairy tale about how there's tons of racism in the South, but it's all hunky dory up North. (Really? Look again.)

Emmanuel Mudiay v Sunrise Academy Highlights
Consider the puzzle: For nine straight years, Kansas has held at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season championship. How impressive is this? No team has done that in a BCS conference since UCLA in the 1970s. Bob Knight never did it. Mike Krzyzewski never did it. Dean Smith … Roy Williams … Rick Pitino … Jim Calhoun … Nolan Richardson … none of them ever won nine conference championships in a row.
The only Big 12 team we haven't beaten. Wouldn't want to be them Saturday.
I'll keep my political feelings out of this. I would love to see the match-up but I do think HCBS makes a good point here. My first Fanpost since the conversion...will anyone see it?
Interesting from Rush the Court. It's something we've discussed around here quite a bit so thought I'd put it up. Does anyone even scroll down to fanshots anymore? SBN burn.
Original videos and accompanying article chronicling Bill Self's and Mike Krzyzewski's appearance at a Minnesota high school hoops game this week. The two coaching greats were on hand to scout Tyus Jones, the nation's top 2014 recruit.
Sorry! Here's another try. Good luck to Kansas fans one and all...
Considering three of those guys will be in Lawrence for 2+ years I think it will end up the best class, but we'll see. Also, I'm not sure how the scholarship situation shakes down, but we are still in on a few of the top 2013ers, so we might not be done.

Thanks everyone! I called the company directly and they said you have to meet one of their four criteria. One being age- over 35. The others were family history, abnormal screening test...and I forget the last one.

The Secret Canon of MIchelle Vider
1. Harriet the Spy, Louise Fitzhugh
I read Harriet the Spy when I was nine and thought: YES! I want to write! Except I was nine and not so hot on picking up The Message, so I started a burn book about my classmates. It… did not go well. In the novel and its sequel, The Long Secret (an underappreciated beautiful weirdo of a book), Harriet has this tenacity and knowledge-lust that makes a reader dizzy with the possibility of how much you can know about people, about anything, while still knowing nothing at all.
2. Lady of Avalon, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Diana L. Paxson
A prequel to The Mists of Avalon where the Lady of Avalon and her lover meet, have some space-time-continuum-shattering sex, die in horrifying Rome-colonizing-Britain circumstances, then renew the cycle in their next lifetimes. I think I loved this book because the central struggle of the story was a woman trying to ~HAVE IT ALL~!! Can she live as the leader of her feminist separatist commune without her romantic relationship compromising and undermining her work? CAN ANYONE?
For the lonely and queer in high school, books are where we go to see we're not alone. Maurice captures coming-into-your-gayness isolation and longing so well, even though it was written by a wealthy white British guy at the turn of the 20th century who was light years away from my own urban Hispanic Catholic community. While Maurice and his love interest, Clive, ultimately aren't right for each other, Clive's awkward bookish overtures speak directly to the awkward kid as she reads a copy of Maurice: "I knew you read the Symposium," he says, just before he admits, "I love you." Maurice is all about the secret worlds and canons we build to define ourselves and keep ourselves sane.
4. The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien
I can't imagine a life where I didn't read Tolkien—for one thing, I met so much of my best friend tier through Tolkien fandom online. Middle Earth changes and grows with us; the answers we demand of its landscape are ones we weren't capable of asking five, ten years ago. I would make The Silmarillion my secret canon pick. The Silmarillion is Genesis and Exodus, from its serene beginnings to the bloodbaths that shaped the world Frodo saves in Lord of the Rings.
5. The Iliad, Homer (tr. Richmond Lattimore)
The Iliad remains one of those few books that I can open to any page and instantly fall into the story as if I never left. As a writer, the Iliad taught me about immediacy and memory, all the life and history and story that can be contained in a moment.
6. Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf
Speaking of combining immediacy and memory in every scene: daaaaaaaaamn, Mrs Dalloway. Strangely enough, it shares a lot of features with how I envision the Iliad, in that they're both stories where the events aren't as important as how the story itself is told. Worlds and characters discovered through the telling of stories.
7. I Capture the Castle, Dodie Smith
Castle is presented as the diary of Cassandra Mortmain, who starts writing to escape the bullshit facade of her family's quietly suffering genteel poverty. She and her sister fall in love with the Cotton brothers, their new landlords down the road, and money. complicates. everything. Cassandra's world shows how our circumstances shape our stories, something that more self-indulgent writers writing in vacuums of their own creation forget too often.
8. To Say Nothing of the Dog, Connie Willis
Connie Willis is the only writer allowed to write about time travel. Her novels build a hilarious world of academic bureaucracy around the science/practice of time travel, and To Say Nothing of the Dog is a charming as hell romcom set in that world. The story uses time travel to raise the stakes and showcase the eccentrics who would be crazy enough to study time travel in the first place. So fun. SO FUN.
9. Parade's End, Ford Madox Ford
The story follows Christopher Tietjens, Gentleman, who slogs his way through life being tactless, embarrassing, and full of integrity, but shh no one cares. His wife, Sylvia, and his lover, Valentine, steal every scene in the novel from him. It's difficult to care about Tietjens's existential crises when Sylvia and Valentine burst into a scene, each of them clawing at the eyes of the world to get more than Nice Young Ladies are allowed.
10. The Painted Veil, W. Somerset Maugham
What's magnificent about The Painted Veil are its selfish characters, their poisonous spite, and the heavy, heavy regret of a reconciliation come too late. It hits too close to the worst part of us that, when hurt, lashes out and wounds to kill. (Don't watch the movie.)
11. Sappho: A New Translation (tr. Mary Barnard)
Translation matters not so much for accuracy, but in the translator bringing that spark she sees in the original into the new work she creates. Barnard's 1958 translation reads modern, clear, and straightforward, illuminating the vivid scenes in the fragments left to us. Sappho herself? Here: "You may forget but/Let me tell you/this: someone in/some future time/will think of us."

Lake Garda - beauty and the beast
We were very uncertain about the weather as we set off to pick up our yatch. The drive along the lake was very pretty and we arrived at the port around 10.00am and it was quite windy.... The staff told us that this was normal and in an hour it would be calm.... After a coffee we drove up the lake, even more pretty and watched some amazing high wind sailing by the dinghy and kite and windsurfers. Have ...

We celebrated with a nice meal in a restaurant overlooking the lake drinking Prosecco Rose, very nice.
Tomorrow we have hired a yatch for the day and will go for a sail on the lake. It's due to rain again later so I hope we get lucky with the weather.
... the entire way for about an hour and half, climbing the old road around the lake. While that sounds terrible we strangely enjoyed it and it was fun coming down! When we got to the top there were just a few little villages with the roads not really going anyway and loads of cyclists.

Antonio Cromartie: Arizona Cardinals are 'on the verge of being a Super Bowl champion'
Originally published: Mar 20, 2014 - 5:20 pm
So, he landed in Arizona.
The Cardinals signed the cornerback to a one-year deal reportedly worth $3.25 million, with another $500,000 available if he plays in all 16 games. While being introduced to the media Thursday, the former New York Jet and San Diego Charger pointed to the team's competitiveness as a main reason why he signed on the dotted line.
"You're part of a team that's right where it needs to be," Cromartie said at the team's Tempe training facility. "That's a team been there, that's committed to winning. And also, a team that's right on the edge, on the verge of being a Super Bowl champion team."
Cromartie, who is about to enter his ninth season, said that is something he was looking for after the Jets released him on March 9.
The Cardinals, who just missed the playoffs last season but won 10 games -- one of which was a road win against the Super Bowl champion Seahawks -- believe they got a player who is primed for a bounce back season following a down 2013.
"The thing that's appealing to us is in Todd Bowles' pressure scheme, his ability to play press-man," Cardinals GM Steve Keim said. "And to have two corners like him and Patrick (Peterson) where they can play that press-bail and get in receivers' faces and reroute them, and not only have length but speed and athleticism, is a huge asset for us moving forward."
Cromartie will line up opposite Peterson and along with Tyrann Mathieu in a defensive backfield that appears to be growing evermore dangerous as the offseason progresses.
"You look at guys like Patrick and Tyrann and now Antonio, you have three ball hawks who have the ability to make big plays after the catch and guys who can do special things after the interception," Keim said.
Cromartie has 28 career interceptions, three of which he's returned for touchdowns. A 6-foot-2, 210-pound player, his combination of size and speed has made him one of the most tantalizingly frustrating players in the NFL.
Sometimes he's been great, other times he's been bad.
As the number-two cornerback, the Cardinals will probably settle for good, and they think that got at least that in Cromartie, especially now that he's healthy following a hip flexor strain that limited him for the majority of 2013.
"I'm grateful and I'm blessed for the opportunity to have a chance to come out and play the game I love for another year under my belt with the Arizona Cardinals," the cornerback said. "That's what I look forward to. I'm just trying to come in and try to be the leader that I can be and just go play football the best way I know and that this organization needs me to be."
The goal is make an already very good defense even better and to rebuild a player whose value appears to have plummeted a bit. Like Karlos Dansby last year, though, he could be a big season away from landing another big contract. And whether he would get it from the Cardinals or another team, no doubt that's a problem Arizona would like to have a year from now.
"The good news for him and my selling point to him and his agent are the facts that if you're going to come back and you're going to, some degree, resurrect your career, why not do it a place where you feel like you have a top-five defense, you have a team that is going to feature you on an island -- you're going to get a lot balls thrown your way, obviously, because of Patrick being on the other side," Keim said. "So your ability to create stats and to cover in a short amount of time and play in a good defense is beneficial to you."

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!
Beverly T. passed a background check on 12/6/12. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Beverly, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
I am a physician, recently retired, and I never learned how to draw. In fact I was terrified of drawing. Beverly has been an excellent tutor for me. She has patiently taken me through baby-steps in sketching. She has tailored the lessons to help me be more at ease with practicing, learning, making mistakes and learning some more. Beverly has encouraged me to be more fluid and less precision-oriented. I find I am really enjoying the whole process. She is nonjudgmental, encouraging and, when she sketches along with me, truly inspiring. I feel fortunate to have found such a talented, gentle teacher.;
Beverly is very nice. She is very positive and very supportive of the young artist (our daughter) and the creative process. She always had a learning objective for each lesson that helped our daughter learn new concepts. Beverly is highly recommended.;
Beverly has been working with my 9-year old daughter for about three months now, two lessons per week. She is patient, knowledgeable person, and is certainly a gifted teacher. What is very important, Beverly tries to develop in my daughter a self-determined approach to art, so that she can really express herself through drawing. In fact, this is a very mild approach that really fosters creativity. Over rather short period of time, my daughter's drawings became significantly more complex, and she likes to draw more. At times, I and my wife are surprised by the amount of detail she notices and puts into her drawings. Most importantly, we can see a very distinctive style, a personality in these drawings. We are happy with our tutor!;
Beverly is a very knowledgeable and patient tutor. She explains concepts, processes, basics and the fundamentals so they are easily understood. Beverly helps the student to learn and grow through real life examples. She teaches and shows the student "how to" and helps the student overcome any problems they may encounter. I very much appreciate the opportunity to learn from Beverly.;

Earful Tower
|Earful Tower
Earful Tower at Disney-MGM Studios (now Disney's Hollywood Studios)
|General statistics
|Attraction type
|Water tower
|Walt Disney Imagineering
|40 m (130 ft)
|Height (Paris)
|50 m (163 ft)
The Earful Tower and Earffel Tower are water towers located at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida and Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris in Seine-et-Marne. They are based on water towers often found on Hollywood studio backlots of the first half of the 1900s, originally a safety measure to douse fires on the film sets, and resemble the water tower found at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, with the exception of the Mickey Mouse ears.
The Earful Tower, constructed in 1989, is the first of the two water towers, and was the original icon of Disney's Hollywood Studios (then-known as Disney-MGM Studios). It is located in the park's backlot area, and can be observed by guests riding the Studio Backlot Tour. The Sorcerer's Hat was completed on September 28, 2001 and has since served as the park's official icon. The Earful tower still remains in the park and has a topiary of it nearby.
The Earffel Tower, a pun on the Eiffel Tower, is the icon for Walt Disney Studios Park, standing 163 ft (50 m) tall and including lighting along the outline of its ears at night.

The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center has more than 516,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, and 2.1 million square feet of flexible space, making it the largest exhibition space in the Northeast. It also has 80 carpeted meeting rooms for smaller, private gatherings or workshops. Since its debut, the center has hosted a wide variety massive of shows, including the New England Auto Show, eBay! Live, and several Health and Fitness expos.
The facility is two miles away from Logan airport and is owned by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.
The push to build an entirely new convention and exhibition space in Boston began in the late 1990s, when Boston's existing spaces were no longer large enough for some of the popular conferences and conventions. The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center opened in its current form in 2004, to great acclaim. Not only does the flexible space meet the needs of some of the largest exhibitions in the world, but it is beautiful and technologically advanced, as well, containing a grand ballroom with waterfront views, WiFi and cellular service throughout the space, and a video wall / media tower, all wrapped in a modern building designed by noted architect Rafael Viñoly.
Visiting the Center
There's plenty to do in the waterfront area surrounding the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. In addition to myriad shopping and dining options, the area boasts the historic Fort Point Channel and the Institute of Contemporary Art. The abundance of amenities makes this convention center hard to overlook.
The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center is located near the South Boston waterfront, directly across the harbor from Logan International Airport. This rapidly expanding area features a number of hotels near the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
The center is accessible by public transportation via Amtrak or commuter rail. Convention attendees can also take the MBTA Red or Silver lines to South Station and either walk or take the Silver Line to the World Trade Center. A diesel rail shuttle between the Convention and Exhibition Center and Boston's Back Bay area is planned, with service expected to begin in 2015.

Fascinated by Balinese Gamelan and Steve Reich, Elan Tamara makes music as uncategorisable, as heartfelt and beautifully otherworldly as anything you're likely to hear. She has carved out a space so unique and unclassifiable that people have fallen back on namechecking other female artists with a distinctive aesthetic and outlook – Kate Bush, Bjork, Joanna Newsom and their ilk. Needless to say, she doesn't sound like them, either. Her first two EPs were released on producer Kwes' Bokkle imprint, her third on Big Dada. With a voice that can be smooth and calming or raging and hurt, Tamara pulls long vocal lines and next level harmonies over the syncopated minimalism of her piano playing. As well as her own music, she worked in DELS' live band in 2011 and with Kwes live from 2012 onward.

Town Square
Some thoughts on GAS prices
Original post made by Oxymo Ron on May 4, 2008
Some years ago, my son sold his car and left for Europe. He came back understanding public transportation and the lack of need for the costs of a vehicle.
Today, I was at the Alamo Shell Station where a gentleman in a Jaguar, heading for Southern California, was concerned about the pump shutting off at US$75 and the fact that he had spent US$75 and did not fill his tanks.
I explained a lesson partially learned from my son. My cost of GAS never changes. I buy US$25 of GAS every two weeks and trust public transit for any exceptional travel beyond my gas budget.
Now consider that I sold a large luxury car that averaged 18 miles per gallon for a luxury sedan that averages 27 miles per gallon. That is a 50% fuel efficiency increase. Thus, my US$25 today is equivalent to $2.77 per gallon for equivalent fuel/mileage for my previous luxury sedan.
If I were to imply par value of the previous USDollar, now at 0.64 of par value, the gas I bought today has net present value at par value US$ of 1.77.
The oxymoron is how we hide inflation in the par value of currency and the choices of vehicles, including public transportation, that we choose to use.
Is that interesting?

On the Queen's Birthday Honours list, the name stood out from those of charity workers, teachers and civil servants: Angelina Jolie — Honorary Dame Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George, for her campaigning work "for services to U.K. foreign policy and the campaign to end war zone sexual violence".
This means that the Hollywood A-lister has become one of a tiny group of U.S. citizens to be honoured by the British establishment (though they can't use their titles).
It was an extraordinary accolade — doubly so when you consider that the demure Jolie, who recently hosted a London summit dedicated to ending war rape, in her capacity as special envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, is the same Jolie who, not long ago, was making headlines for her tattoos, hard-drug use and intimately kissing her brother in public.
Then she was a twice-divorced, self-confessed bisexual and self-harmer. But in just 14 years, Jolie, 39, has dramatically reinvented herself, from out-of-control starlet and apparent homewrecker to devoted mother and humanitarian powerhouse, travelling to war zones such as Congo with William Hague, the U.K.'s foreign secretary.
Her youthful recklessness has transmuted into selfless bravery. Her unauthorized biographer, Andrew Morton became intrigued after learning that she'd been working in Peshawar, Pakistan — "hardly a place for charity workers, let alone bona fide Hollywood movie stars," he says. "We now see her as a humanitarian and a substantial, solid and serious-minded citizen of the world, not the woman who broke up Jen and Brad."
Then, last year she underwent a preventive double mastectomy after testing positive for a gene linked to breast and ovarian cancers, which killed her mother at the age of 56. This gave Angelina a powerful voice in women's health.
Jolie is also estimated to be Hollywood's highest-paid actress, earning $33 million last year.
"What's remarkable about Jolie is she's the best at everything she touches," says Christina Hopkinson, author of The A-list Family. "When she was in her bad-girl phase, she was the baddest imaginable. Now she's a mother, she's the ultimate earth-mother of three boys and three girls — even her twins were the perfect boy-girl combination.
Born in Los Angeles, Jolie is the daughter of actors Jon Midnight Cowboy Voight and the late Marcheline Bertrand, but her parents split when she was a baby as a result of Voight's infidelities. Jolie and Voight's relationship has been stormy ever since.
She forged a possibly too-close bond with her mother, who treated her like a friend, allowing Jolie to have a live-in lover from the age of 14.
Living in modest circumstances compared with her peers at Beverly Hills High School, Jolie was bullied. She became anorexic and began cutting herself with her collection of knives. Wearing only black clothes, she aspired to become a funeral director, taking a course in embalming. She decorated her body with 14 tattoos, including the Latin proverb, quod me nutrit me destruit ("what nourishes me destroys me"). By the age of 20, she had tried "just about every drug possible," including heroin.
At her first wedding, to British actor Jonny Lee Miller when she was just 20, she wore black rubber trousers and a white T-shirt, upon which she had written the groom's name in her blood. Before they separated, Jolie had a relationship with an actress and has since confirmed her bisexuality.
Four years later, she married actor Billy Bob Thornton after a two-month courtship. The pair wore each other's blood in phials around their necks and for their first anniversary, she bought him his-and-hers cemetery plots in a Louisiana graveyard. Yet 18 months later they abruptly split.
But just as tongue-wagging about her eccentricities was peaking, Jolie — then 26 — began visiting refugee camps. Her first trip to Sierra Leone was revelatory. "I realized how completely naive I was to think I had a difficult life," she recalled. "It was as if someone slapped me across the face and said, 'Oh, my God, you silly young woman from California, do you have any idea how difficult the world really is for so many people?'"
The turning point, says Morton, came when she made Tomb Raider in 2001.
"It was her rehab role, the actress weaning herself off heroin in order to sustain the physical demands of the movie. During the filming, she decided to adopt a Cambodian boy named Maddox. The infant changed her life; she began focusing on him and her growing role as an international advocate for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees."
In 2005, she adopted Zahara from Ethiopia (Pax, from Vietnam, arrived in 2007), that same year making Mr & Mrs Smith. Within months, Jolie and Pitt were visiting Pakistan together to solicit aid donations after an earthquake, and within a year Jolie was pregnant.
Yet her new reputation as a husband-stealer had no effect on Jolie's popularity.
An executive on the Hollywood magazine Variety said: "She is perceived as somewhat saintlike — a woman who only wants to do good in the world. When you're in her presence, she's so serene, you'd feel like an idiot asking a dumb question, such as: 'So, did you break up Jennifer Aniston's home?'"
Dorie Clark, author of Reinventing You: Define Your Brand, Imagine Your Future, uses Jolie as a prime example of reinvention. "Because her negative brand attributes centred around too much predatory sexuality," she says, "motherhood and her clear devotion to her children showed a different, gentler side and balanced out her reputation."
The couple's fame rose as they travelled the world with their huge "rainbow family," alternatively making films or doing good — be it campaigning to help New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, or working in Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
Many suspect that Jolie has brilliantly manipulated her narrative so the husband-stealing/wild-child persona has been airbrushed by the human saint. Whatever the motives, for more than a decade she's travelled frequently to some of the most insalubrious corners of the world, bringing huge publicity to previously unfashionable causes.
"Frankly, if a celebrity isn't genuinely interested in poverty and is simply trying to get good press, there are better ways to do it. Travelling to Darfur or Congo is dangerous, expensive and uncomfortable, and the outhouses have bats, scorpions and camel spiders," says Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times, who spoke with Jolie at a 2008 session at the Council on Foreign Relations about justice in Darfur.
While she plays the celebrity game, it always seems to serve a higher purpose than personal vanity or greed. Pictures of her newborn twins were sold for a $14 million donation to her Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
Those who have worked with her say her behaviour is strikingly un-divalike and professional.
Still, a suspicion persists that her youthful eccentricity (her father once tearfully described her as having "serious mental problems") has never gone away, but that her restlessness is now being channelled to positive ends.
Now Jolie is reinventing herself again, as a director. Her latest, second film, Unbroken, about a Second World War hero, is hotly tipped as a 2015 Oscar contender.

Simple javascript not running in Firefox, Safari, IE?
Hello all,
The site in question is: Classic Car Gallery the beginnings of a responsive web site.
I have a simple Javascript:
Code JavaScript:
<script> $(document).ready(function() { // fade in content. $('.coming_soon').fadeIn(5000); }); </script>
The script works well in Chrome, the image "Coming Soon" with the class '.coming_soon' fading in nicely. Unfortunately it does not work at all in Firefox, Safari, and IE! I know I must be missing something simple.
Any help, guidance or code would be much appreciated.
Thanks again,

I'm writing you today to share with you images of a small stone carved head I have had in my personal collection for several years. I would like to know your thoughts on this.
A local college geologist who examined it says he thinks the stone is a type of porphyry - similar to granite -and that the carving seems to indicate that the artifact is of some age. I obtained it from a man in Iowa who inherited it from his grandmother. His older relatives told him the she had this in her possession since she was a young woman. It is not known where she obtained it, but she did do some traveling in her younger years.
The research I have done on native american traditional art forms suggest that the stylistic elements evident in the carving are consistent with some of the Pacific Northwest tribes - especially Bella Coola and Kwakiutl.
It measures approx. 3.5" tall by 2.5" wide by 3" deep.
My friend Kathy Strain and I showed it to the attendees of the Yakima Bigfoot Roundup in 2009 during her presentation regarding Native American evidence supporting the existence of Sasquatch, and there was a lot of interest.
Take a look at these images and let me know what you think. I have written to Scott Wolter in an effort to have him evaluate the carving - specifically the wear patterns evident inside the grooves - but I have not yet received a response from him.

Ankhesenamun - thank you for your input. There have been some people who saw the carving and thought it might be of African origin, possibly representing some kind of ape, due to the prominent brow ridge and the thin lips. I have not ruled out this possibility. However, the way the nose was represented seems more humanlike than apelike, and the stylistic features of the carving - the scalloped markings framing the face and the striations apparently representing hair on the head - do seem to echo the stylistic elements of many carved cedar masks from certain Pacific Northwest tribes.
Nevertheless, I am very curious about what you said about your ivory ring with a similar image, and I will follow up on the Bujumbura lead you provided. By any chance do you still have the ring? I would love to see the image on it.
Thank you! - Tony Plescia

I myself have not much clue as to what it could be a carving of..But it does remind me of the carved art from a place called "Bujumbura" This is one of the seventeen provinces of Burundi.. with this image on it..why do i say this? Well i had an Ivory ring carved with this image on it one time 30 years go....Given to me by a friend of my boss at work...She was from Burindi...I worked as a Communtiy Relations Officer, for the council for racial equality part of the CRE Commission,at the Home office in london..I had met lots of people that became friends over the years..This was one of the gifts.....Regards....

Music Review: The Buffalo Philharmonic
Date: March 24, 2010
by: Maria Amodio | Observer Intern
The Buffalo Philharmonic has a long tradition as a so-called "second tier" orchestra (first tier being the old "Big Five": New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Boston) with a history of important first-class conductors at its helm, including Steinberg, Krips, Foss, Rudel, Tilson Thomas and Bychkov.
A lot has changed over the years. The first-tier orchestras have grown to include several others around the country. And some regional groups (Sarasota Orchestra among them) have become first-rate ensembles.
But it's Buffalo that reached out more than a decade ago and named JoAnn Falletta, a woman and one of the world's premiere conductors, to lead. And, under her leadership, the orchestra is sounding better and better.
On Buffalo's visit to the Van Wezel last week under the auspices of the Sarasota Concert Association, Falletta gave us a sense of polish, musicianship and what really great conducting can be.
After a somewhat shaky start with Rossini's overture to "Semiramide," the ensemble demonstrated its accompanying skills in the Ravel G Major Piano Concerto. The soloist, Fabio Bidini, showed great flair with just the right combination of percussive and romantic playing to make this a memorable account of Ravel's nod to Gershwin, Stravinsky and Poulenc. Bidini's Chopin encore was stunningly beautiful.
After intermission, Falletta, without the use of a score, led her orchestra in a dazzling reading of Rachmaninov's Symphony No. 2. This lushly romantic work is almost too beautiful and sumptuous to endure with its extravagantly passionate, dense, rich and opulent harmonies and melodies. But Falletta has no rough edges, and her phrases are so smooth and clear, she opens the density of the harmonic structure, turning Rachmaninov into the polished glass of a Steuben sculpture. Best of all, her transitions (and there are many in this symphony) seem sewn together with invisible stitches. She is a remarkable leader, and Buffalo is fortunate to have her.

Light Source Options for Basement Recessed Lighting
Most basements have enough working against them. Don't make it worse with poor lighting
For a basement remodeling project, what are the pros and cons for recessed lighting options between a line voltage GU10 MR16 fixture and a PAR30 halogen fixture? I don't want to install something that could become outdated. Also, although this is a basement, I don't want it to feel like one.
Let's start with the design objective: If you don't want it to feel like a basement then you will need more than just recessed downlights. The space will feel cave-like since there will be no ambient lighting bouncing off the ceiling. This can come from sconces, torchieres or cove lighting. My strong suggestion is that the recessed fixtures should be adjustable accent lights, so that they can be pointed towards art, table tops and relatives that don't move. There also needs to be some decorative lighting, such as one or two close-to-ceiling fixtures to draw people into the space. These can serve double duty as ambient light sources as well. Plus, you will need some task light for reading, even if it is just finding the buttons on the remote control. ow that we have that out of the way, I will discuss the various lamps you are considering. First off, stick with an adjustable recessed fixture that takes a regular screw-in base. This goes for the other types of light fixtures in the room as well. This will give you the most options for now and in the future. I would have you take a look at a PAR20 or a PAR30 halogen for now, and then maybe upgrade them to LED versions in the future. Trust me — we both will have plenty of things to regret in the next five to 10 years. Lighting shouldn't be one of them.
