Millencolin is a punk rock band that was formed in October 1992 by Erik Ohlsson, Mathias Färm and Nikola Sarcevic in Örebro, Sweden. In early 1993, drummer Fredrik Larzon joined the band. The name Millencolin is derived from the skateboard trick "melancholy".[1]
The original lineup, consisting of Sarcevic (vocals & bass), Ohlsson (guitar), and Färm (drums), released their first demo tape, Goofy, in early 1993.[2] Soon afterwards, Larzon joined the band to play drums, allowing Färm to perform as the second guitarist.[2] In the summer of 1993, they recorded a second demo tape, Melack.[2] The band sent the tape to Burning Heart Records,[2] a new record label formed earlier that year.[3] They signed Millencolin to do a CD single, which culminated in the release of Use Your Nose in November 1993.[2] Success of the single prompted Burning Heart to sign the band to release a full album. In July 1994, the band released Skauch,[4] initially planned to be a single for their new album. However, the band decided to record four cover songs as well and released it as an EP instead.[5] They put out their first major release, Tiny Tunes, in 1994. The recording and mixing of the album took two weeks. Legal trouble with Warner Brothers over the title and cover artwork of the album led the band to re-release it in 1996 under the name Same Old Tunes.
Millencolin continued to tour and in 1995 brought out their second full length album Life on a Plate. This coincided with Millencolin beginning to tour outside of Scandinavia. At the end of 1995, the US record company Epitaph wanted to release Life on a Plate in the US, and the band agreed. They then toured further afield, touring Japan, Australia, Brazil and Canada, and played as part of the 1997 Warped Tour.
Further albums For Monkeys and compilation The Melancholy Collection followed, but the band's popularity really increased in 2000 with the release of Pennybridge Pioneers, an album with more of a rock influence than the band's previous skate punk sound. The recording took six weeks and they started their first major worldwide tour. Millencolin played in Wellington, New Zealand, followed by an Australian tour. This led to an early release of the album in Australia and New Zealand. Millencolin wrote on tour and brought out Home from Home in 2002. While it was not as well received as the previous effort, songs like "Happiness for Dogs" and "Afghan" showed a stronger and rockier sound which would greatly influence their next album Kingwood. In 2003 the band won the award for Best Swedish Rock.[6]
Kingwood, released in March 2005, marked the band's return to a faster and more traditional punk rock sound, collaborating it with their recently founded rock sound, and completed a world tour in follow up of the album. The album debuted at #2 in the Swedish chart.[7]
In mid 2007, lead guitarist Erik Ohlsson announced plans for a new full-length album, a follow up to their DVD Hi-8 Adventures and a new website, amongst other things.
On October 22, 2007 the band entered the studio to start writing and recording songs for their seventh album Machine 15 [8].
The band has hosted a skateboard contest at their own skatepark in Örebro, Sweden named the Millencolin Open. They say they started this annual contest because skateboarding is what brought them together and now they have the chance to make something good of their town and of skateboarding.
Sarcevic is currently promoting his second solo release Roll Roll and Flee, and Färm is currently promoting his new band Franky Lee.
In addition they will be playing a few festival dates across Europe, starting the August 26 and ending with the Fear & Fury festival in Bochum in early September.
Their new album is entitled Machine 15 and was released on April 7, 2008. The video for their first single "Detox" has since been released.
They wrote and released a single dedicated to their hometown football club Örebro SK titled Örebro in 2009. It was played in the stadium for the first time on May 11, 2009 in the home game vs Hammarby IF.

Griffith Baily Coale (1890-1950)
Commander, USNR
A native in Baltimore, Maryland, Coale spent three years studying art in Munich, Paris, Italy and Spain. Subsequent to his return to the United States, he resided in New York City and became nationally known through his many famous murals and paintings. Sensing the imminent onset of world conflict, Coale convinced Admiral C.W. Nimitz to establish the Navy Combat Art Program and in August 1941, he was commissioned in the U.S. Naval Reserve with the rank of Lieutenant Commander.
He immediately left for an assignment in the North Atlantic, where he witnessed the sinking of the USS Reuben James. Several months later, after the attack of Pearl Harbor, Coale traveled there to gather material for a mural commemorating the tragedy. In his six and a half years with the Navy, Coale witnessed action in every ocean, including the Battle of Midway and British operations in Southeast Asia. Life magazine reproduced the "North Atlantic Patrol" series which was later published in book form, and he also wrote another book based on his experiences, "Victory at Midway."
Coale retired from the Navy in 1945 with the rank of Commander. He returned to his home and studio at Stonington, Connecticut, and resumed private work until his unexpected death in 1950.
Farm, Naval Air Station, Newfoundland
Griffith Baily Coale #2
Pastel drawing on board, 1941
29 1/2h" x 27 1/4w"
Newfoundland is a bleak and violent place with comparative calm changing to roaring winds, with people struggling against horizontal rain and sleet in the half light of the underworld. With tact and diplomacy, the Navy bring their bulldozers, stone crushers, lumber, steel, and concrete, and create the miracle of a modern base on land that is a saturated bog thirty feet deep.
of Destroyer
Griffith Baily Coale #11
Charcoal and pastel drawing, 1942
21h" x 27w"
Before we are officially at war, destroyers escort convoys across the North Atlantic. A ship's roll from the bridge is unbelievable, screws racing out of water, and ship falling on seas like thunder. A message was received "Convoy being attacked three days astern of us" and the next day the Reuben James is torpedoed as the Nazi submarines are after destroyers this trip and not the convoyed merchant ships.
Search Lights, Pearl Harbor
Griffith Baily Coale #20
Oil on canvas, 1942
48 1/2h" x 42 1/2w"
Without warning, tall stilts of light vault into the sky, careening stiffly about as they cross and re-cross crazily, ships searchlights in practice for things to come, learning to stab aloft for the flying menace.
Convoy from 12,000 Feet
Griffith Baily Coale #21
Oil on canvas, 1942
40h" x 52w"
The sun sets below the billowed clouds, and twilight dyes them with deep violets and gray blues, against the flaming red of the western sky. A dark cavern appears, below and under the vast bridge of clouds above it. Down there, placed on the dull steel of the ocean, is a convoy of minutely reduced ships. Without movement, they are tiny models with painted wakes, as motionless as toys.

back stage — music notes
Amina Figarova
I have a crazy idea!
Next Tuesday night at Yoshi's Oakland, come to the Amina Figarova show, and if you don't like it, send an email to email@example.com, and I will put you on the guest list for another show. It's that easy.
This is a tight ensemble featuring some of the finest players from the Netherlands. The European jazz scene is full of innovative players putting an individual stamp on this great American art form. This group performs Amina Figarova's own compositions. The music is varied: some is swingin'; some is more cerebral. But it's all jazz, and it's a chance for you to hear some great new music.
The line up will be:
Amina Figarova - piano
Ernie Hammes - trumpet
Marc Mommaas - tenorsax
Bart Platteau - flutes
Jeroen Vierdag - bass
Chris " Buckshot" Strik - drums
It's music like this that brought me here. It's the music I love and I want to share it with you. Her show in 2009 was one of the highlights of the year, and I'd hate for you to miss them this time through.
So here's the deal: check her out at www.aminafigarova.com . If you like what you hear get a ticket and come to the show. If you don' t like the show, email me firstname.lastname@example.com and I will put you on the guest list for another show.
I hope to see you there!

NCIS Round Table: "Need to Know"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
Our NCIS review broke down the latest installment of television's #1 show in great detail.
Now, TV Fanatic staff members Steve Marsi, Matt Richenthal and Eric Hochberger have assembled for their weekly Round Table Q&A discussion of events from this week's episode, "Need to Know."
Join in below, as we analyze DiNozzo, McGee, Dorneget and much more ...
Describe this episode in one word (or two, or three).
Steve: Well-written, multi-layered.
Matt: Team-oriented, entertaining.
Eric: Fun throughout.
What was your favorite one-liner from the episode?
Steve: Any of McGee's many lines in which he tried to instill a take-charge air of confidence and seniority around Dorneget. That was a fun change of pace for our favorite Probie.
Matt: "This time." Guarantees we'll see Agah Bayar again, don't you think?
Eric: "The Buick's out of the garage, Dorneget." Classic.
Best scene?
Steve: Dorneget's "coming out" to McGee. It felt organic. Unlike some shows that would make this a huge focal point of a character or episode, Ned probably wouldn't have even mentioned it if it didn't pertain to the case (being accused of letting Baransky's gorgeousness distract him and all). Once he did, his sexual orientation wasn't a major issue, just a part of who he is, not something that defines who he is. I also enjoyed his subtle crush on Tony.
Matt: Gibbs and Tony's morgue-style interrogation. That kind of tag-team intensity - bad cop, borderline unstable cop - was vintage Gibbs/DiNozzo and added a bit of an edge to a lighter episode. They're tough agents, but rarely does the bone saw come out. I'd have gone out to get a cup of tea after seeing the interlude too, Ducky ... for a few days.
Eric: Besides anything with Abby (which we need more of, Gary Glasberg) ... I liked Gibbs telling Bayar to his face that he was going to take him down. Bad. Ass. With a little subterfuge thrown into the mix!
Do you like Dorneget?
Steve: Totally. I liked his rapport with Tim - who took the guy under his wing even after he thought he'd spent the night with Abby, it's worth noting - and he seems like a genuinely nice fella. He just needs a few post-it notes strewn about to remind him of minor details ... like packing a weapon or displaying his ID right side up.
Matt: Some of his bumbling incompetence was a little overdone - how could you even get to this point in your career if you're that clueless - but yes. He won me over a bit.
Eric: We've seen this guy here and there and he's always been a little incompetent (standing guard, if you can call it that, during Tony Sr.'s interrogation being one recent example), so I was skeptical about him having a significant role in this episode, but how can you not love the guy. I definitely laughed at him going about 0-for-5 in his attempts to impress Gibbs, or even act normal around him.
What, if anything, was out of place this week?
Steve: As some fans have pointed out, can a pacemaker even do that? Four hundred beats a minute? I guess if we accept that a satellite signal can disrupt them at all, why not? Still, a bit of a stretch, albeit as part of a mystery that featured the peeling back of one layer after another and made for what I thought was a top-notch episode overall.
Matt: This may sound nit-picky, because I realize these are not one-note characters (it's part of what makes the show so good). Tony is allowed by be his frat boy sophomoric self at times, and I love his one-liners, but sometimes it feels like we get a different DiNozzo from week to week depending on the writers. It's almost like he exhibits growth, then reverts back. Again, I know it's an ongoing process and totally realistic that he doesn't abandon his juvenile, humorous side altogether, but it feels like one extreme or the other. Just an opinion.
Eric: Ziva's scene at the school was out of place in that we didn't see it! I would've loved to watch her botch some idioms and throw out some Ziva-isms, while still making an inspiring speech, to a group of students!
NCIS team MVP of the week?
Steve: I'll give it to Vance by virtue of having to put up with the bureaucracy. We give him a lot of grief for clashing with Gibbs sometimes, but as Vance himself implied, Jethro has it easier in that he's unbound by politics. Vance tries to be a team player - within NCIS and the entire federal system - even when the conflicting powers that be make that impossible.
Matt: McGee. Yes, he almost blew the case in epic fashion, but it was his first time being a very special senior agent, or at least trying to act like one. Probie handling a probie? Gotta cut him some slack.
Eric: Two words: Ab. By.
Any additional observations?
Steve: McGee's Rule #1. Never lie to Gibbs. What about through omission?
Matt: Fun, complex, with each character playing a role ... despite my minor complaints and desire for somewhat more consistency, it was a solid episode and I hope we see more like it.
Eric: I thought it was going to be Jamie Lee at the restaurant at the end. What a disappointment to see the arms dealer instead ... but a cool way to end the episode with that quasi-standoff regardless.
What's your take on these issues of the week on NCIS? Discuss below!
Steve Marsi is the Managing Editor of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Google+ or email him here.Tags: NCIS, Round Tables
I enjoyed it, and for the first time in a long time, I was deeply into the plot!!! well done NCIS.
Loved it! BUT why is Jimmy Palmer the only character that's not in the opening?
I LOVED the interrogation scene! They did a bad job of casting, however, as that guy was NOT supposed to look like a kid that young. The guy had already been in the Navy, gotten a dishonorable discharge, worked for a private military contractor, and then gotten fired from that job. He was now freelancing. They mistakenly cast an actor who looked about 14 for a character that had to be in his mid 20's.
Anyway, loved the episode overall.
I pretty much agree with the entire round table discussion....... It's too bad we have to wait until March 20 to see what happens next....
I guess I'm in the minority, but I'm not liking Jamie Lee Curtis on the show.......
we need to get season 1 and 2 of Tony back when he was was funny but not stupid funny
I agree that Tony was WAAAY over the top last night; but, I think that was conscious on Tony's part, as he was trying to "Get into Ziva's head". She flat out told him that she wouldn't let him in --- and he (as he's blowing her a semi kiss from licking his papercut)gives her this look like , "just you watch!!". From that point forward in the episode he goes waaaay overboard in trying to make her jealous/get under her skin -- and it works. That's just my take, but I think it is totally plausible since Tony has *almost* admitted to himself that he loves Ziva.
like that bayar arms dealer character too. been waitin' for him to make another appearance. 1 mysterious dude. plenty of potential w/ him for a good on going story arc. good actor. him & dorny were awesome as recurrin' characters last night. that's not always the case on this show. some recurrin's have been really painful for me to watch. not gonna name names that have been painful to watch. but, i'm officially addin' dornegat, & bayar to my 'a' list of recurrin' characters; fornell, borin, dinozzo sr., trent kort, eli david & my man franks until they killed franks off. that sucked big-time for me. franks didn't need to die. no reason behind it. made no sense in that script. what a huge waste it was killin' mike franks off.
yeah also have to agree w/ 1 of the reviewers on tony's inconsistency in this script. lack of continuity from week to week sometimes on him. tony's lecherous vibe last night was way over the top. not a little over the top, but way over the top. and a little schizo based on what they have been tellin' us about tony tryin' to grow up a little. cause of his age etc. his vibe could have been more subtle charmin' last night. tony looked desperado. yeah, i know ya can't change him completely cause i guess he's always goin' to be a horn dog. but i could do w/ less of the in your face desperate obnox frat boy from season 1 & 2. i'd like more smart, funny, sexy, charmin', self depreciatin' vulnerable tony from week to week. have to admit though tony clutchin' his backpack was hysterical. thought that was a funny charmin' sweet moment. felt bad for tony in that shot-lol.
dornegat = awesomeness. bring him back as a recurrin' any day. hell, make him a regular. about time ncis. they better not bend over to a tiny group of hatahs on internet & kill ned off. or make him a bad guy. seen them bend over before to a tiny loud group of hatahs railin' against 1 actual principle ncis cast member. plus the ship 'pairin'. best thing about this episode was dornegat. loved him in his 1st appearance on ncis. love him more after the character came out last night. only peeve is that the writers that wrote this episode wrote the 1st episode that dorny was in. in that 1 tony called him out on catching him w/ susan grady in copy room doin' the deed. guess they could explain that susan grady was the 1 all over ned. and that tony didn't see what really happened between them. that dorny actually blew off susan?
I liked the episode I liked when Tony and Gibbs in The Morgue. it was great episode

Amazing jeans for a new mom
By robinla
from Ann Arbor, MI
About Me Career, Casual, Classic
After having a baby, I am the same size but my shape has changed. This jean fits very well, is extremely flattering and comfortable, and has a great rise for the busy mom. I am constantly bending over to pick up my little one and these stretch with me. I can wear them to work or out for casual wear. They are extremely flattering and look great.
Perfect classic jeans
By ekd
from Bay Area, CA
About Me Casual, Classic
These jeans are great. I have been on the hunt for just a classic, great wash pair of jeans. I find that there is either too much fading or not enough. These have very flattering fading through the thighs and are a bit of a higher waist, which makes them appropriate for casual friday at the office.

Students will demonstrate understanding of the processes associated with banking by role- playing as customers, tellers, and guards.
To get started, the students will read Lyddie, a novel by Katherine Paterson. The novel is set mainly in Lowell, Massachusetts, in the 1840s. In Lowell the main character, 13-year-old Lyddie Worthen, works six days a week, from dawn until dusk, running weaving looms in a murky dust-and lintfilled factory, trying to save enough money to reunite her family. In reading and discussing this fine novel, the students examine basic economic concepts and explore the growth of labor unions and the role of government in a market economy. Lyddie is published by Puffin Books and is available at Amazon.com. It is also available in DVD video format and may be purchased on line at Circuit City, DVD Empire.com and Overstock.com.
The role of government is to provide for the common defense, define and protect property rights, and enforce contractual arrangements. Throughout the 20th and early 21st century, government has increased its role in economic life. The role of government has expanded to address so-called market failures and externalities by expanding their regulatory reach to address environmental concerns, monopolistic competition and provide public goods. Governments have also introduced various social programs to provide a social safety net for low-income individuals and senior citizens.
The following lessons come from the Council for Economic Education's library of publications. Clicking the publication title or image will take you to the Council for Economic Education Store for more detailed information.
This publication introduces students in grades 4-8 to an economic way of thinking through exploring the mysteries of everyday life. Students solve each mystery by responding to hints provided by simple true/false questions and by reference to a logical system of reasoning that applies basic economic principles.
17 out of 17 lessons from this publication relate to this EconEdLink lesson.
Designed primarily for elementary and middle school students, each of the 15 lessons in this guide introduces an economics concept through activities with modeling clay.
17 out of 17 lessons from this publication relate to this EconEdLink lesson.
This publication contains fourteen lessons that use a unique blend of games, simulations, and role playing to illustrate economics in a way elementary students will enjoy.

How can you keep the internet safe for your kids?
The Internet can offer children a wealth of useful information and lots of fun, but it also often contains material that is either unsuitable or illegal for them to access. Here are a few simple tips and resources you can use to make sure their internet browsing experiences are safer.
One way to help your children have a positive online experience is to educate them about the risks associated with browsing the web. Then, you should supervise your children online as much as possible. You can do this and encourage family involvement by having the computer in a public area of the home.
Some other guidelines that could help protect your children online include:
- Not giving out personal information to anyone online, including giving out their email address or any passwords.
- Involving you when they want to meet anyone who they have only met online.
- Not filling in forms or agreeing to any contracts, agreements or downloads of any kind without your involvement.
- Not opening emails from addresses they don't recognise. By responding, the email address will be verified to the sender as a valid email address and this can lead to further unsolicited emails being sent.
Spam is online junk mail. It can include chain letters, emails about get-rich-quick schemes and links to pornographic or other offensive content. Spammers find email address in a number of ways including trawling internet newsgroups, chat rooms and other unsecured online registrations.
We're committed to reducing the amount of spam that circulates on our network. For more information about what we're doing to eliminate spam and how you can help reduce the amount you receive, visit Fighting Spam in the BigPond Help Centre. You're also able to find out how you can report and complain about spam you receive.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) have registered a Spam Code of Practice which all Australian ISPs must comply with. For more information or a full copy of the code, see the Internet Industry Association (IIA) Spam Code of Practice.
Newsgroups are like online noticeboards, where you can post, read and exchange messages about a particular topic of interest. Chat rooms let people communicate across borders and time zones about a wide range of topics. Chat is real-time text-based communication across the Internet.
Both newsgroups and chat rooms can involve communicating with total strangers. So children should be educated about appropriate behaviour in these environments, and especially about the dangers of providing personal information.
Software is available to complement parental supervision of children' online time. Internet content filters can automatically block access to unsuitable websites, chat rooms and newsgroups, as well as particular search engine results.
Filters can block access to websites based on a list of banned sites (black list) or on a list of acceptable websites (white lists). They can operate on your home computer or through your ISP. Some filters can even help control the time your child spends online.
But it's important to remember that filters will never be foolproof, and are no substitute for parental supervision.

Pepperdine students will come together for the 41st year to perform at Songfest, the annual musical variety show featuring a student cast of hundreds and a live orchestra. One of the university's longest standing traditions, Songfest performances will commence each evening at Smothers Theatre at 7:30 p.m. beginning Tuesday, Mar. 11, and continuing through Friday, Mar. 14. The matinee performance will be held Saturday, Mar. 15 at 2 p.m., and the final show will be that evening at 7:30 p.m.
Songfest 2013
This year, the production will celebrate the theme "Bright Lights, Big City," which will highlight the music, culture, sights, sounds, and people of domestic and international cities chosen by the performance groups. Each year, students of every kind join together in groups, each of which presents a 12-minute-long show that features singing, dancing, creative sets, costumes, and an original script based upon the central theme, which is specifically unique to each year's Songfest.
The groups are given two weeks to write their own scripts, create their own choreography, and design their own sets and costumes. At the end of the two-week preparatory period, the performances begin.
The Songfest tradition began in 1973 in the cafeteria of Pepperdine's Los Angeles campus. Now in its 41st year, Songfest is one of Pepperdine's most well-known and enjoyed events of the year, with students performing to sold-out audiences time and time again.

Funding is arguably the toughest hurdle to jump. Jane Goldman, 51, was an editor for The Industry Standard, a magazine covering the dotcom industry, when it folded in August 2001. Goldman then launched her own magazine, Chow, a fun, casual food publication. Chow was named the best new magazine of 2005 by Amazon.com and received a favorable response from advertisers. Nevertheless, due to insufficient funding, Goldman decided to cease publication of her magazine after the November/December 2005 issue and focus exclusively on her website for the time being.
Still looking to get his first issue to print is Brett Garfinkel, founder of JAQK , a magazine catering to the "no risk, no reward" mind-set of young, affluent men. Garfinkel, 34, who formed his business at the end of 2002, has developed a prototype and received verbal commitments from advertisers, but he's still hunting for the $7 million he calculates it will take to launch JAQK and bring it to profitability.
Garfinkel plans to launch nationally with an estimated paid circulation of 300,000. Such high targets require a lot of money, but Garfinkel believes it will come. When approaching investors, "you can't be shy," he says. "You can't be afraid to hear no."
So where do you look for funding? Well, in another chicken-and-egg scenario, getting funding is a lot easier with a prototype (we'll get to that in a moment), but of course, a prototype requires money. To get started, it's best if you tap your own piggy bank. Husni stresses the three F's: family, friends and fools. "Are you willing to take the gamble of borrowing money from your grandma?" asks Husni.
Robert Jeffrey Jr. and his wife, Minty, founded ColorsNW, a Northwest regional magazine covering multiculturalism, in April 2001. They were able to raise roughly $170,000 through a personal investment of $90,000, a $50,000 loan and $30,000 from friends and family. None of them turned out to be fools, as ColorsNW is profitable with sales of just under $1 million in 2005 and projected sales of $1.2 million in 2006.
Regional magazines can be launched for about $100,000, while national magazines require closer to $1 million to make it through a year of publishing. These figures, of course, depend on the publication frequency and circulation. Traditionally, the largest expenses are printing, paper and postage.
When deciding on the amount of funding you'll need, cash flow is key. Once a magazine hits newsstands, Husni warns it may take six months to a year before the publisher sees any cash returns. New magazine publishers often fail because they haven't anticipated how long it will take to put money in the bank.
Put Together a Prototype
Creating your prototype--a mock-up of how the actual magazine will look--helps express your brainchild to potential advertisers and investors. It doesn't have to be elaborate, but it should convey the design, structure and substance of your magazine.
A prototype, like a business plan, conveys a level of commitment. For many ad agencies, prototypes are essential. Garfinkel received verbal pledges from advertisers based on his prototype.
Cynthia Good, 46, and Genevieve Bos, 41, founded Pink , an Atlanta-based magazine for professional women, and give credit to their prototype for helping secure their national distribution deal with Kable News Co. "We showed them a prototype, gave them our resumes and talked to them about our vision," says Bos. Pink, which launched in June 2005, now boasts a national circulation of 110,000 and projects 2006 sales in the seven figures.
Attracting Advertisers
The bread and butter of most publications is advertising. In 2004, industry ad revenues totaled over $18 billion in the top 12 advertising categories, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. But getting advertising isn't always as easy as it should be.
Woodward tells a classic industry story of an infant Runner's World having to wait several years before Nike committed to buying ads in the magazine. The founders must have thought this would be a no-brainer for Nike, an endemic advertiser. Endemic advertisers are those whose products or services directly address your audience, like running shoes in a runner's magazine. Nonendemic advertisers seek a broad demographic, like a car company targeting affluent males.
To land big advertisers, you first have to find them. Most national advertisers use ad agencies and can be found in "Advertising Red Books," which are available in libraries. For the most part, you can contact regional advertisers directly. But Gold warns that when you make your phone calls, you should be ready for someone to say yes. Have all your materials--including your prototype and a media kit--ready for your sales pitch.

The different initiatives and programs described in the article can also be seen as a marketing tool to increase a brand's visibility without undermining the product's exclusive image.
By Montse Adam, Jeff Carrol and Laura Bozzano, IE Business School, Sustainable Luxury and Designe Module, MBA 2011
This point is particularly relevant because it would point out at a new macro trend, where luxury brands go a step beyond: not only promoting arts and philanthropy but also convey values such as sustainability. On the other hand, one could also argue that companies are using these initiatives secretly hoping that their customers will feel a deeper emotional link with the brand. Unlike other products, the market for luxury goods is not based on rational consumption patterns.Instead, this type of customer looks for a dream, for a social status, an aspiration. traditional marketing strategies aimed at increasing sales (and brand value) would be counterproductive in the case of luxury brands: an increase in volume translates into a loss of exclusivity. A luxury strategy is not a volume strategy. In line with this idea, the so-called anti-laws of luxury marketing tell us that the goal of advertisement is not to sell but to recreate a dream.
A great article outlining how luxury companies can and are increasing their appeal and value proposition by finding more ethical ways to do business. Responsible business practices need not be merely a Public Relations tactic or an activity disjointed from core business strategy. Channel and PPR have shown us how responsible business practices can be core to corporate strategy and add value to product offerings.
Chanel's development of software to help design environmentally friendly packaging shows us how a focus on responsible businesses practices can actually help derive new ideas and internal skills. Additionally this particular initiative, Winted software, has helped promote inter-industry communication.PPR's efforts to develop the world's first environmental P&L statement shows us how innovation can be delivered outside of the product and promotional sphere, building stakeholder value through CSR communication.

9 Yummy Snacks To Keep In Your Locker!

WASHINGTON - A proposed rule change by the NFL that would bar those carrying the ball from initiating contact with the crown of the helmet is drawing fire from a former league superstar.
CBS DFW reports that former Dallas Cowboy Emmitt Smith told Dallas radio station The Fan that the rule "sounds like it's been made up by people who have never played the game of football.''
"As a running back, it's almost impossible (to not lower your head),'' Smith said. "The first thing you do is get behind your shoulder pads. And what that means is you're leaning forward ... the first part of contact that's going to take place is going to be your head, regardless."
The proposed change is expected to be presented to NFL owners next week.
What do you think of the proposed rule? Is it needed for safety, or does it go too far? Leave a comment in this story, weigh in on WTOP's Facebook page or tweet to us using #WTOP.

Founded in 1983, the firm of Mucasey & Associates, Architects has specialized in the architectural design of unique, owner-occupied projects in the commercial, institutional, and residential markets.
The firm is comprised of ten people including the principal, Mark Mucasey, Senior Associates Will Cummings, Paul Titterington, and David Howland, five staff architects, and the office manager. Through a combination of hand-drawn designs and details, as well as computer drafted documents, the firm has been able to deal with specialized concerns of its unique clients, while providing the accuracy and speed of documentation offered by computers.
The philosophy of the firm is to maintain a direct contact between the principal members of the firm and the client throughout all phases of the project. Much of the firm's efforts are spent in the design phase, in giving form to the client's preferences, and insuring that each structure fits well in its context.
Many of the firm's projects have dealt with renovation, in which expertise has been developed in preservation and synthesis of existing constraints. A substantial portfolio of projects for retail and multi-family developers evidences the firm's concern for budget and simple technologies that can produce the design intent at minimal cost.

(Updates with timing in second paragraph.)
Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Interior Department is considering regulations for production of natural gas and oil from shale on federal lands, including required disclosure of the chemicals used and standards for water and wells.
The rules will probably be proposed in "a couple of months" and become final about a year later, David Hayes, the Interior Department's deputy secretary, said today.
The department plans to seek "full disclosure of the chemicals used in the hydraulic-fracturing process, with necessary provisions related to" trade secrets, Hayes said during a meeting of the Department of Energy's shale-gas advisory panel.
"Extending existing well-bore integrity standards to the hydraulic-fracturing phase of development"to protect against leaks will also be a focus of the proposed rules, Hayes said, as well as "extending existing water-management requirements" to discharges after fracturing is finished.
In fracturing, or fracking, companies inject water, sand and chemicals under high pressure thousands of feet underground to break up shale-rock formations and release the gas trapped there. The technique is used for more than 90 percent of wells drilled on public lands, Robert Abbey, director of the Interior Department's Bureau of Land Management, said on Aug. 18.
Among companies producing natural gas on U.S. acreage are Anadarko Petroleum Corp. of The Woodlands, Texas, Hayes said today. Anadarko spokesman John Christiansen didn't immediately return an e-mail seeking comment.
When to Disclose
The department is evaluating whether producers should provide information about fracking fluids before starting or after operations are conducted, Hayes said.
"We also want to ensure that any chemicals used comply with all relevant local, state and federal laws," he said. "So we are considering a certification requirement in that regard."
The Energy Department's panel was established to respond to concerns that fracking may pollute air and drinking water. Natural-gas companies risk causing serious environmental damage from hydraulic fracturing unless they commit to the best engineering practices, the task force, led by former CIA Director John Deutch, said in August.

Went through a telephone screen.
Then met with 5 people over a 4 hour period.
The interview was thorough and tough.
My initial impression was it would be a good place to work.
People were intelligent and very nice.
Unfortunately the follow up after the interview was atrocious.
Not all interview candidates are a good fit with a company.
If that was the case, then the company owes it to the candidate to be told as much.
But my follow up phone calls were not returned
E-Mail request for feedback or status were ignored.
My initial impression was wrong.
They could offer me 2X of my former salary.
I'd never work there based upon my terrible interview experience.Interview Questions

To describe this simply as "deep fried calamari served with pickle/Acar and house spicy sauce" is to miss the very soul of this dish. Only one word will do: Calamarilicious!!!!
These awesome balls are made with ground pork, ground shrimp, and green onions. So. Very. Good.
Three hand-made dumplings stuffed with a chicken, beef, and spring onion mix. Look over there! Where did the third one go? We didn't eat it, that's for sure. ... *chew* ... *chew*
Are you a furry, ground-feeding mammal? Or do you just want something light and refreshing before the main course. This salad's got romaine lettuce, red cabbage, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and onions with your choice of dressing. Either way, you're covered. But seriously, we don't deliver to burrows. If you're a rabbit, your burrow had better have a valid address. This dish is served with...
Did you want pork and shrimp, or chicken for your birthday? Did you want them mixed in a special marinade and wrapped carefully in a wonton wrapper with water chestnuts and spring onions? Further, do you prefer that your gifts are fried to a delightful golden hue and served with sweet and sour sauce? Yes? Good. We've got just the gift for you! Each order comes with five delicious fried wontons.
Look, you can eat these two spring rolls. You can place your entree on top of them and make a tiny, delicious cart. You can order a bunch of them and build the world's tastiest tower. You do what you want, but it would be a shame to let this wrapped and fried mix of tender beef, clear noodles, mixed vegetables, and cilantro go to waste. (This item comes with sweet and sour dipping sauce.)

Dressed to impress.
That's the type of visuals which will make a splash at RUNWAYrevolution, a two-act fashion show set for 2 p.m. Saturday at the Lubeznik Center for the Arts in Michigan City.
Distinctive clothing created by emerging young designers is promised.
The center's Hyndman Gallery is taking on the air of a high-fashion runway that showcases the works of creative minds from Chicago's Illinois Institute of Art, Western Michigan University and other learning institutions.
The clothes that will be featured are inspired by a wide range of sources, including geishas, masked balls and — as publicity material puts it — "the dark side of Little Red Riding Hood."
Numerous young women from Northwest Indiana will be modeling the stylish female fashions, including Monica Robinson of Merrillville, who has done fashion events before.
She thinks RUNWAYrevolution will be a good experience for her.
"I'm very excited," Robinson, 32, said. "I think it will expose me to a lot. I always wanted to be a model."
Attendees will be able to vote and determine which student designer wins the People's Choice Award.
A Best of Show Award also is scheduled to be bestowed. Judges, with backgrounds in design and fashion retail, will dish out scores for outfits based on workmanship, wearability and creative design, according to promotional material from the Lubeznik Center.
The admission price includes wine and light nibbles.
In addition to the student-designed fashions, RUNWAYrevolution trots out a second act that turns the runway over to Silver Moon, a Chicago-based business specializing in vintage bridal wear and glamorous clothing from Hollywood's past.
Silver Moon's Liz Meyer will present wedding attire she has designed.
"Liz's work is exquisite in detail, inspired by fashion and film of the '30s and '40s, but appeals to today's rock stars," Becky Jascoviak, Lubeznik Center marketing director, said in a press release. "We are excited Liz agreed to showcase her work in this year's show."
The theme of Meyer's Saturday presentation is "Rocked Out Wedding Wear."
Notable musical artists have utilized her outfitting talents. Meyer, for instance, has worked with the band Aerosmith.
Boasting fashion-forward student designs, Saturday's RUNWAYrevolution likewise ushers in the introduction of the Gallery Shop's bridal registry and expanded offerings in functional art.
Lubeznik Center marketing personnel also promote the center's Gallery Shop by stating the shop offers artists specializing in unique handcrafted decor and accessories.
RUNWAYrevolution is being coordinated by Dani Lane, president of the board of directors for the Lubeznik Center.
The outfits being highlighted at the show were created with a substantial amount of handwork, she said.
"It's unique because we're using student designers," Lane said. "They're one-of-a-kind fashions."

Everyone and his brother is chattering away about the Mayan apocalypse, which supposedly happens tomorrow. If you're just now learning the world might end, you might be tempted to Google around for more info. Just don't open any sketchy powerpoint presentations on the matter, Naked Security warns.
That's because there's one circulating with the SEO friendly title of "Will the world end in 2012?" and it's brimming with malware.
You open the document, enable macros and boom, nasties on your hard drive. So tomorrow the world will turn on, but your computer will be compromised.
Naked Security explains where this little Christmas present originated:
The presentation about the world ending was created by a preacher in the United States who appears to have nothing to do with this booby-trapped version. Don't go looking for this presentation though!
His legitimate WordPress blog has been compromised and is currently performing search engine manipulation duties for Viagra pushers, "off-shore" casinos, forex fraud and payday loans.

Todd GehmanRationalization
Okay, on the face of it, this looks like a pretty pointless goal. But I'm not kidding. It's more about the means than the end. By doing this, I want to:
- explore whether melodic themes sampled somewhat randomly can inspire interesting exercises
- brush up on the formal composition skills I acquired while squandering all that time and money in college
- write and record some short tunes to use on my answering machine
- win the bet I made to some friends that "I swear I like my phone number so much I'm going to write songs based on it"
- test drive the rival music notation software for the Mac (to which I just switched 6 months ago)
I've already written one rhythmic thing in 7/8 at the piano and learned after transcribing the thing fastidiously that neither Finale's nor Sibelius's demo version allows scores to be saved or printed. Thank you, print screen! Next I learned that Finale's Notepad, the only free notation software that allows saving, can't do seven-beat signatures. Ack. Next I wrote a brief breezy thing for string quartet and learned that the violin sample on the FREE version of Finale, cheesy as it is, is far better than that on the demo version of Sibelius. Sibelius seems to get better reviews from a variety of sources, so I'm assuming their real version has tolerable samples. Then I started on a canon for piano and remembered that strict canons are painful to write, but a good kind of painful. I'll slog through.
Anyway, I had no idea before I started this project that web technologies like that employed on sibeliusmusic.com exist. Any amateur who uses their software can write and upload a score to that site, and any browser with the free Scorch plugin can play their compositions, directly from the sheet music, right in their browser. Amateur composers have everything from solo piano Airs to full symphonies there. (They have a rock and pop section too, but its exactly as bad as I thought it would be…even worse through Scorch's crappy samples.)
Maybe MIDI has provided this capacity for years, and there are similar sites everywhere, but I've just caught on. I must say, it's oddly inspiring to see so many amateur composers sharing their work like this, especially because so many of them want to rip off Chopin by writing a Nocturne, just like I do. But not with a damn phone number theme, that'd be sacrilege. 9 years ago

Put it this way: Eric Morecambe's immortal phrase "he's not going to sell many ice creams going at that speed" could have been coined for Andrew Howard. The co-founder of one of Britain's most successful ice cream companies Beechdean, Howard also happens to be the current British GT champion. When he's not overseeing production at the farm, rather than driving beaten up ice cream vans around cul-de-sacs in suburbia, Howard races Aston Martins around the best tracks in the world.Read
After all the hype, all the mind games, all the bad blood and all the endless hours of chattering debate, in the end the rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves came down to the old one-two. In what was a far tighter, cagier contest than their previous meeting, the denouement came in round eight when the older champion - just (and justly) ahead on the judges' scorecards - distracted his younger rival with a swinging left hook before throwing a right hand that he later described as "the best punch I have ever thrown in my life".Read

Establishing anti-christian chats with talk of eliminating Christians. This keyboard punk threatening others, their spouses and children. Gee what Bolshevik jew does that remind you of ?

Create new NetCDF dataset
ncid = netcdf.create(filename,mode)
[chunksize_out,ncid] = netcdf.create(filename,mode,initsz,chunksize)
ncid = netcdf.create(filename,mode) creates a new NetCDF file according to the file creation mode. The return value ncid is a file ID. The mode parameter is a text string that describes the type of file access, which can have any of the following values.
|Prevent overwriting of existing file with the same name.
|Overwrite any existing file with the same name.
|Allow synchronous file updates.
|Allow easier creation of files and variables which are larger than two gigabytes.
|Create a NetCDF-4/HDF5 file
|Enforce the classic model; has no effect unless used in a bitwise-or with NETCDF4
Note: You can specify the mode as a numeric value, retrieved using the netcdf.getConstant function. To specify more than one mode, use a bitwise-OR of the numeric values of the modes.
[chunksize_out,ncid] = netcdf.create(filename,mode,initsz,chunksize) creates a new netCDF file, but with additional performance tuning parameters. initsz sets the initial size of the file. chunksize can affect I/O performance. The actual value chosen by the NetCDF library might not correspond to the input value.
This function corresponds to the nc_create and nc__create functions in the NetCDF library C API. To use this function, you should be familiar with the netCDF programming paradigm. See netcdf for more information.
This example creates a netCDF dataset named foo.nc, only if no other file with the same name exists in the current directory. To run this example, you must have write permission in your current directory.
ncid = netcdf.create('foo.nc','NOCLOBBER');
This example creates a netCDF-4 file that uses the classic model.
mode = netcdf.getConstant('NETCDF4'); mode = bitor(mode,netcdf.getConstant('CLASSIC_MODEL')); ncid = netcdf.create('myfile.nc',mode); netcdf.close(ncid);
