(AP) -- Burger King hasn't really been sold to McDonald's, despite what it says on Burger King's Twitter feed today.
Someone apparently hacked the account, posting obscene messages and changing the profile picture to a McDonald's logo.
The tweets stopped after a little more than an hour. Burger King says it reached out to Twitter to suspend the account and to get it back up and running again.
Burger King usually tweets several times a week. Today, just after noon, Eastern time, someone tweeted on the account, "We just got sold to McDonalds!" Dozens of other tweets and retweets followed, including some that contained racial epithets, references to drug use and obscenities.
A spokesman for Burger King says the restaurant chain doesn't know who hacked the account. The company says no other social media accounts were affected.
At the beginning of this month, Twitter acknowledged that cyber attackers may have stolen user names and passwords of 250,000 users.

Jamison, everything you've been putting up recently has been spectacular. Well, too many great trouser fabrics that are available only in the made-in-Italy fit, but that's forgiveable. Seriously great range of colors and fabrics (for all items, not just trousers) in impeccable styles.

Just purchased my first pair of HY wool trousers. Can't wait to get them.
In one hour, I purchased a pair of AE park avenues and HY pants....I'm feeling a little light headed
You are going to like them a lot. Those are exact same ones I got. After I received them I just placed an order for 2 more trousers yesterday. Oh and I too am awaiting the arrival of Park Avenue as well as Clifton shoes.
Does anyone have thigh measurements for the classic flannel wool trousers?
I just ordered a pair in the same size as my Epaulet trousers (size 30). I though my Epaulet pants were walt fit, but they are actually Rudy fit, so 12.5 across thigh. They are a near perfect fit around the thigh, slim but not tight (though the fits depend how high I wear the pants), and I just wanted to compare the thigh measurement with what I could expect from HY.
Should have thought about it before I ordered the trousers...
Also, thigh measurements would be really helpful to have on the product measurement charts.
Edited by amathew - 9/28/12 at 3:36pm
I ended up receiving a pair of the brooks brothers pants (had to return) and as stated, it is so far from a contest its ridiculous. the HY blow them away.
A note about fit. I typically wear a 34 waist, and I ordered a 34 (despite the 35" measurement). They fit perfectly.
I'm pretty blown away right now to be honest.
Have been lurking here quite a while. Based on the reviews, I decided for the same pair as you and now have the same dilemma. The quality and fit are top notch, and the packaging and handwritten card were very classy. Jamison, expect another return customer!

It's true that lower pump prices channel more money into our pockets, but the last I saw was that something like 60 percent of our additional cash is going into paying down debt and into savings. Both are great, but tend to moderate the additional cash we put into consumer spending. A bigger impact on the economy is what happens in the oil patch, primarily North Dakota, the Permian Basin, and some operations in other states. Nationwide, permits for new drilling have nearly stopped. Low prices are already forcing many smaller higher cost shale firms to scale back or cease operations, and no one knows what will happen to fracking. The ripple effect will probably spread to railroads, truck drivers, hotel maids, waitresses, etc. No one knows how far it will go. Hopefully it will not lead to too much of a downturn, but there is a lot of uncertainty here. Also, we don't know how far Saudi Arabia will go to force all shale out of business, which is certainly their goal..
Modify your vehicle to get better mileage my friend, especially if you have the money to do so. The right tires can get you as much as five percent better mileage while they're on the car, that more than pays for itself as they're a necessity to have.
Gosh, Omega Man, Galaxy Quest, Timeline, so many I'd like to see.
You know, looking back that the previous message I posted here, life was even better for the poor AND homeless as well. They were invited into more homes and people gave them more when they had nothing. That's NOT the case today. I truly hope you had a good Christmas and have a great new year. Wish I had started to send out the message earlier, but I can only do so much some times. I'm limited by time, money and other factors. You just don't know. But you will one day when I tell you and others about it all. Later!
And, yes, you're absolutely right, we'll never see the heydays of the 60's and those WERE good days and we did have plenty of REAL jobs, though there were always poor and homeless people back then as well. But life was better then for most of us and most people I met then, young or old. Maybe one in 100 had it really bad here back in those days, but now I know well into the double digits who have it bad out of 100 people. I did manage to get gas, premium gas for a co-worker last month for 11 cents a gallon, because of Winn-Dixie's fuel perks. If you have them there, sign of for the rewards card, and the same with Kmart, Big Lots and all the rest you can. Even with Kmart you can get 30 cents off a gallon, and it pays to shop at those places to enable better savings. You'll never get it at Walmart or Target alone as some are now learning.
Funny that you don't like DS9, and I've never seen Omega Man or Galaxy Quest OR Timeline, but I sure will now.
That's for sure, it's helping quite a few people, but there's still millions of us who don't drive waiting for a break on food prices and other goods, since they're not going to give us a break on rent, electric, water, etc. They're not going to give us a break on bus fares either. Anyhow, since we're in the season, a very Feliz Navidadl/Linksmu Kaledu/Merry Christmas and a very Godt Nytt Ar/Stastny Novy Rok/Happy New Year to you, your family and friends. Hope it's good for all of us. Mine is only better because of working. No, you can never learn too many ways to say Live long and prosper, Yes, No, Thank you, Merry Christmas, Hello, How are you, I know, among so many others.
Tai nasha no karosha--Vulcan, first language for Live long and prosper.
I miss the old Amoco stations and Amoco gasoline. Was some of the best gasoline period.
Don't think that I'm being unappreciative, or that I'm being smart or sassy, but it's just the truth. Too many are on food stamps and without work, and the government refuses to count them among the rest of us who are working and say unemployment is improving, just like they did under Bush, Clinton, the first Bush, Reagan and Carter. I know too many people, including ALL of my co-workers that haven't had a raise in over four to 10 years, and it's not just at my company or in this area alone.

2012 Suzuki Kizashi Sport SLS 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
The Suzuki Kizashi is a very good looking car inside and out. I then started to look at the specs and wow...it had a lot of features (especially for the price and the iAWD system). Not even a single problem so far. The only complaints is the wipers are not the best and the gas mileage could be better, but I mean it is a heavy car that does not get stuck in any snow/ice. It has a wonderful Rockford Fosgate audio system and you can put it front-wheel drive or intelligent all-wheel drive whenever you want with a button. I had 2 Audi A4 Quattro in the past and the Kizashi handles even better. It is basically an A4 (same features, same look), but a lot cheaper and more RELIABLE. You won't regret!

2012 Suzuki Kizashi Sport SLS 4dr Sedan AWD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
I had a 2004 BMW 330XI that was killing me in repair costs.
I went back and forth on the Kizashi for so long and I'm glad I finally pulled the trigger.
After six weeks of ownership I have really enjoyed he car.
Distinctive exterior styling, plush, comfortable interior, fun to drive, great build quality.
The car is so well engineered and it's clear a lot of thought went into everything right down to the tactile feedback of control buttons on the steering wheel and center stack console.
Normally you have to spend at least twice this much money to drive something so rare.
Don't get me wrong this is not a high end Mercedes or an exotic but it's a lot of car for under $30k that nobody has.

2012 Suzuki Kizashi SE Leather Edition 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
only stopped at the dealer for an appointment for an oil change for my Chevy HHR.The next thing I know, I bought a Kizashi!! I love browsing the lots,so my Chevy dealer is also a Suzuki dealer. And there it was! Tucked in between a bunch of Chevys, a black Kizashi. He says how do you feel about this one? It looks nice I said."Would you like for me to get the keys?" I said yeah,sure. But if I get the keys, you'll have to test drive it! Yeah,whatever I said. MAn, did I have a ball!! He went with me and showed me a twisty backroad which I never knew existed! God does that baby handle great!! I
thought it was the AWD version,that's how great it felt!

I've owned and still own a few late Mercedes and Bmw's Even with my german cars experience, I can definitely say THIS CAR IS AWESOME!. Period!
Yes, a few flaws, there are no perfect cars anywhere. but for the price you pay, the thing is amazing.
Suspension: PERFECT
Brakes: ONE OF THE BEST BRAKES I EVER TESTED
Driving dynamics: I won't say its a BMW or a Mercedes, but its close, its wayyyyy over what you get from Toyota or Honda, but its still not a BMW... The price isn't either.
Steering: Precise and sporty, love it.!

2012 Suzuki Kizashi SE Leather Edition 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)
Well, on the 20th, I took delivery of a new 2012 Suzuki Kizashi SE,Leather Edition, after test driving one for 4 days! I was initially at the dealership for issues with my HHR, so I had time to kill and here I am! The salesman went with me and had me drive on a really
curvy country road out here in Kansas...Man did I have a good time!!!We then hit the Interstate back to the dealer...I did a cool 75 mph..til we passed two State Troopers,then I stepped on it....We were at 115 mph before I knew it! I backed off though,don't want a ticket! Well anyway,I bought after reading all the reviews here in Edmunds and decided that I have to have this car. But I will keep posting....

My son used a pacifier for a little bit but then got thrush and it wouldn't go away and we were worried the pacifier was part of the reason so we got rid of it at about two months. He could have cared less. My daughter never took one (or a bottle) but we did offer it. I really don't see it as a big deal either way.
A two week old is way too young to be crying it out. While you don't need to drop everything every second that she cries especially if you're in the bathroom or something it's OK to let her fuss a little bit. But definitely not for longer then ten minutes and you shouldn't be worried yet about not spoiling her or creating bad habits. She's crying and wanting to be held because she is still in the process of bonding with you. You'll learn as she grows older that a lot of the things you hope your child will never do will in fact happen. And crying for a particular parent is part of kids growing up and forming bonds.Mother to: Patrick Werner (3/10) and Mary Claire (06/12)

When they're very young I don't let them cry for long, if I can help it. It's their only way to communicate and they do it when something isn't right. But I have 3 going on 4 children, so sometimes have to prioritise who needs me the most and sometimes the baby needs to cry for a minute while I sort someone else. but I try to use the sling or do things one handed so the baby doesn't need to be away from me for long. I like the idea of the 4th trimester where you keep the baby close to you as much as possible in the early days as they're just not able to cope away from you. I don't think you can comfort them too much.

Bronwen we didn't give one to on purpose and it worked out fine. She was easily sastified by nursing, and I was tandeming with Seb so I didn't "drown" her whenever she latched on for a quick comfort nurse. I did want to get Linus started on one when he was a baby since we are an active family and he would need to be in his carseat when we drove places (at the time we were doing a HS co-op with field trips etc) but he was born with tongue tie and never ended up doing one even after his frenulum was clipped. Same story with Vio, another tongue tie and sadly she wouldn't take one either. With Wolfie he was *not* tongue tied and he *did* take one for a little while but after a bit just decided he didn't like it or something....and he hates his carseat, hates it. Thankfully now that he is older I can time when he is getting sleepy when we leave the house (not that we can *always* time when we have to be a certain place at a certain time) and the older kids can entertain him too but still, wish he would take one for a car ride. Sebastian did take one up until about 8 months old and it did not affect our bfing relationship or anything else.

My sister and I never used pacifier's / dummies. We didn't like them and they were never really introduced. Mum thought it was better for us to learn to cope with being fussy / tired / sad, etc. than giving as a dummy to bottle that up (a bit New Agey, but I wholeheartedly believe it- it is a personal thing though ). She found that even though we had screaming fits, it was usually for a reason (hungry, tired, stung by a bee, etc.), and we were quick to settle ourselves, but it really depends on the child. Babies cry a lot, and it is usually because they need something / are just letting off emotion, especially from overstimulation, something I couldn't handle and still don't handle very well.
If we were crying for no particular reason, mum would leave us for a minute (when we were older) to see if we would settle ourselves. When we were younger, she was practically there the second we started crying. About 50% of the time, we self settled (my sister more so than me), otherwise, she would pick us up and dance with us to soft music, or just rock us. I didn't like the dummy, but I needed the pressure of someone / something holding me firmly (Asperger's runs in our family, and I have a lot of those traits, or maybe even undiagnosed Asperger's) for comfort. I used to wedge myself between the two lounges when I was a baby, and that always calmed me down, whereas my sister always got really scared in tight places. It just depends upon the baby.Last edited by nooshi; July 21st, 2014 at 07:28 AM.

The decision to use a paci is neither right nor wrong, so be flexible based on your child's needs. My first wouldn't take a paci. My second was obsessed with his until shortly after his 2nd birthday. He then decided pacis were for babies and he gave his up. My third is in the middle. He likes his paci when he is tired or fussy, but doesn't need it like his older brother did.

Boys and Girls Club Capital Campaign Reaches Million Dollar Mark (520 w/cut slugged bgcmillion)
LACONIA — The Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region marked a milestone Thursday morning with a ceremony at the club's new home — the former St. James Episcopal Church on North Main Street — which celebrated reaching the million dollar milestone in the club's $2.4 million fund drive.
Children who take part in the programs offered by the club gathered outside briefly on a frosty winter morning to symbolically push ''the rock'' higher up the hill on a sign in front of the building which charts the progress of the fund drive.
''We're really pleased with our progress,'' said Chris Adams, president of the Boys and Girls Club and Laconia Police chief, who said that among the donations which have helped the club make progress was a $400,000 gift from Gladys and Tony Sakowich of Andover, Mass., long-time summer residents of the Lakes Region.
Mr. Sakowich, who died on Feb. 14 at the age of 95, made the gift over four years ago after being advised by Paul Gaudet, Sr., founder of AutoServ, that it was a project that would fulfill the Sakowich's desire to leave a lasting legacy in the Lakes Region.
The gift was announced last year at a leadership meeting held after it had been announced that the club had reached an agreement to purchase the Saint James Episcopal Church but the amount was not known until recently.
Al Posnack, who chairs the Capital Campaign Committee, said that among the major donors so far has been the Bank of New Hampshire, which contributed $100,000 at the capital campaign kickoff last fall and has contributed over $250,000 to support the club's programs over the last 10 years.
He said that there are three elements to be covered by the fund drive: $700,000 for the purchase of the church property, $700,000 for renovations to the property and $1 million for an endowment fund.
Last March the Vestry of the church accepted the club's offer to purchase the land and buildings for a reported price of $700,000. The property provides 17,000-square-feet of space between the ground floor and half-basement and sits on a 1.3-acre lot.
The new facility includes eight program rooms, which will provide space for academic support, art, small group activity, and computers, a 5,000-square-foot great room for indoor recreation, drama, dance, music, and social opportunities, a modern institutional kitchen for nutrition programs, cooking lessons, independent living skill building, and many meals as well as a spacious community room which house a Kids Cafe and Game Room, as well as being a community resource according to Cheryl Avery, executive director,.
Last November the club was awarded a $250,000 grant by the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority, which will be applied toward the acquisition of the building. It also has applied for a second $250,000 grant for the project, both of which have been applied for through the Belknap County Commission.

Proposed Inter-Lakes budget prepared with an eye on declining enrollment
MEREDITH — Inter-Lakes School District voters will be asked next week to approve a $21.9 million budget at the annual District Meeting which is scheduled for next Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the high school gymnasium
That figure represents a 4.3 percent increase over the nearly $21 million budget which voters approved last year.
Included in the proposed budget for school year 2014-2015 are funds for capital projects, such as repaving and roof repairs, according to Assistant Superintendent Trish Temperino. "It's part of the ongoing care of our buildings and grounds, but there's nothing out of the ordinary," she said.
The budget also reflects a slight decrease in staffing levels which is a direct result of lower enrollment.
A retiring second-grade teacher will not be replaced, and a part-time math teaching position at the high school is being cut. In addition, a custodial and four paraeducator (aide) positions are being eliminated through attrition. The savings from the reductions in paraeducators will be used to hire a certified behavior specialist who will work with students who are at-risk, in crisis, or who have some kind of education disability.
The realignment and reduction in staff equates to the loss of just over two full-time positions, said Temperino.
School Board Chairman Richard Hanson said that balancing the goal of providing a strong educational program for Inter-Lakes students in the face of declining enrollment is a challenge which school administrators and the School Board will be facing for years to come.
Salaries, benefits and other costs associated with teachers and other staff account for 80 percent of the district's budget.
According to the latest enrollment figures, the largest class in the Inter-Lakes District is this year's graduating class which at present numbers 93 students. The freshman class at Inter-Lakes High, however, has 81 students.
First-graders in the three-town district make up the smallest class, with just 66 students. The decline in enrollment is not consistently downward, however. For example, second-grade enrollment is 82, but third grade is 67.
Temperino said that when it comes to drawing up the budget, school administrators "always focus on the needs of the students that we have, and those needs shift and change from year to year." She said that the proposed budget reflects a greater focus on improving education in science, math and technology, which means in part spending money so students have more access to emerging technology.
"Education is rapidly changing," said Hanson. Besides the increased use of technology, he said schools are faced with the "increasing reality our students are having increasing needs and educational difficulties."
The school board at its budget work session in January returned money to the proposed budget in order to retain a teacher position at the high school to work with students who are struggling with reading.
Hanson said it's his sense that overall the public feels that the Inter-Lakes District is doing a good job in educating its children. He said that he hasn't seen the "nasty letters to the editor or anger" that accompanied the district's budget process four or five years ago.
Still, he acknowledged that if enrollment continues to decline then the size of the school staff will continue to decline as well. The challenge, said Hanson, will be finding a way to cut those staff numbers "without harming our students."
Hanson said the move to more customized and individualized learning could mean that students could get some their credits by using on-line education programs at home. And he said the impetus toward more competency-based education would put more weight on what skills a student possesses than on what courses they take.
Aside from the operating budget, the only other major item scheduled to come up at the school district meeting is a vote on the cost items contained in a tentative contract with the Inter-Lakes Support Staff Association, the union which represents the district's paraeducators. The contract calls for increases in salaries and benefits totaling and additional $46,117 for the 2014-15 school year, and $47,619 and $51,460 in each of the following two years.

Belmont couple just turning in when they smelled smoke
BELMONT — Firefighters extinguished a chimney fire at 112 Lamprey Road Tuesday night that officials said was likely caused by a corroded thimble in a pellet stove.
Chief Dave Parenti said the call came into Belmont at 11:47 p.m. — three seconds before what ended up being a four-alarm fatal fire in Laconia.
"We use the some resources," Parenti said, saying it was unusual to have two major calls come in at virtually the same time. "As usual, (the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid) dispatch did a great job sorting it out.
Parenti said Belmont crews went to Lamprey Road along with crews from the Tilton-Northfield Fire Department to put out the fire while a crew from Gilmanton covered the Belmont station.
Parenti said the home owner had installed a pellet stove last year where there had been a wood-burning stove and it appeared some sparks went through the thimble and down along the outside of the chimney, igniting some of the beams.
He said firefighters were able to extinguish most of the fire from the outside of the house causing minimal damage to the inside.
Parenti said the house has a secondary heating system and the owners were able to stay there last night.
He said the couple had just gone to bed when one of them smelled smoke. There were no working smoke detectors in the home.
"They were very fortunate this happened while they were still awake," he said.
Parenti said all homes should have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and that homeowners should call the Belmont Fire Department at 267-8333 if they have any questions about installing them or changing the batteries every six months.

Clock ticking as Lakes Region Public Accesss TV seeks to put new biz model in place
LACONIA — Lakes Region Public Access television has adopted a fee schedule which it will start to implement as soon as a new contract with MetroCast Cablevision, which is still being negotiated by Laconia and town in the area, takes effect around July 1.
''We can't approach the towns to get them to sign on until they sign their new contracts with MetroCast'' said Chan Eddy of Gilford, chairman of the board of directors of LRPA-TV, which is adopting a new business model in order to sustain its operations in the face of crumbling financial support from member communities, which used to fund its operations from MetroCast franchise fees.
He said the board is grappling with a number of changes, including those being negotiated in the new 10-year contract with MetroCast.
The new plan calls for each of the dozen or so member communities served in the MetroCast franchise area to operate their own education and government channels (24 and 26) while LRPA will provide public access on Channel 25 as a regional channel which will air material from citizens, organizations and groups from any community which is a member of the LRPA.
The education and government channels will air only in the communities in which their programs originate but the high cost of becoming a public access provider, estimated at $85,000 a year by Eddy, means that LRPA will likely be the only public access provider in the area.
But uncertainty over when the new agreement will take effect and how LRPA will be able to bridge the funding gap has board members nervous.
''We're in a frozen-in scenario and watching the money tick away,'' said LRPA treasurer Joe Jesseman, who added that LRPA is on pace to run out of funds by the end of the year.
One of changes in the yet to be ratified contract will see the annual $30,000 grant, which MetroCast has previously provided for LRPA-TV, ending. The grant provided one-quarter of LRPA's $126,000 operating budget.
Eddy says that he hopes the new fee schedule and a plan to attract sponsorships will eventually produce an income of $500,000 a year and has set a goal of $300,000 in the first year.
The new fee schedule sharply reduces the fees paid by communities as an incentive for them to remain affiliated with LRPA. There is a ''receive only'' option for $200 a year, a ''receive and provide programming option'' for $1,200 more on Channel 25. Communities which want a ''education and government add on'' option for their local channels in addition to public access would pay an additional $250.
He said that Laconia, which currently pays $43,000 a year, will pay only $1,900 under the new model but expects that between 50 and 100 corporations will sign on as sponsors in the $1,000 to $2,000 range, which coupled with other fundraising activities will produce the needed revenue, which will enable LRPA to raise enough funds to be able to upgrade its equipment and provide better service.
The fee schedule for sponsorships include a corporate and small business level of support ranging from $100 to $200 a month, $250 to $500 quarterly, $750 to$1,500 yearly with premium sponsorships ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 a year and a platinum level of $1,250 to $2,500 a year.
LRPA Station Manager Denise Beauchaine said that LRPA is offering to handle public access filming and editing services at a rate of $50 an hour for the town of Belmont, which has no money in its current budget for such services.
Production Manager Patrick Sweeney said that one of the changes which will be needed is tighter editing of submitted materials such as church services, which will continue to be run for free but will have to be limited to less than an hour in order to fit into a new program format.
Shane Selling, technical consultant, said that live streaming has proven popular and that among the most popular video on demand offerings are the Belknap County Convention and Commission meetings in which the county budget is being followed closely by interested viewers.

Vt. Health Dept. to study EEE in affected zoneThe Associated Press | April 09,2013BURLINGTON — The Vermont Health Department is asking for volunteers from three Addison County towns near where the mosquito-borne disease Eastern Equine Encephalitis killed two people last year.
The study of volunteers from Brandon, Sudbury and Whiting is to determine how many people are infected with the virus that causes EEE, but have not gotten seriously ill. The blood tests would detect antibodies to the virus.
The first clinic will be April 23 at the Brandon Senior Center. On May 14 a clinic will be held at the Sudbury Town Hall and on May 29 at the Whiting Town Hall.
The two Vermonters who died from EEE lived in areas where mosquitoes had tested positive for the virus.MORE IN This Just InA Vermont State police dive team, supported by ground search teams and a US Border Protection...

Design house Ashaara get a new address and adds a clothing line to its collection
If you are looking to give your home or yourself a makeover, here's Ashaara, a design house of fashion, furnishings and furniture. On its recent relocation to Khader Nawaz Khan Road, the store added the clothing line. Each piece at the store vies with another for attention, with its classy-meets-quirky feel. An inherent love for design led founder and creative director Roopa Shetty to bringing together her creativity into one space. "With changing sensibilities of people, it's exciting to help people decorate houses. Decorating spaces is becoming as personal as fashion now as people demand uniqueness. I design or source all our products with a detail-oriented approach."
Mood enhancers
The store houses furnishing fabrics, wallpapers, rugs, furniture, bed and table linen and interior accessories by reputable brands and in-house designs. Some accessories are intended to create a different mood — think banana leaf candle stand, triangular snack trays, kitchenware with pop-art elements, Hollywood-inspired printed table mats and animal-shaped door knobs. The product designs border on art. The laser cut metal lightings, dramatic steel mirrors, foil wall art and gold-finish chairs are chic. The vintage treasures collected across the globe such as painted canvas files, retro-printed frames and bags, trays made with folded magazine papers and antique playing cards make for good gifting options.
Roopa Shetty sheds light on her design philosophy, "People like to make a statement with their living spaces and want their décor pieces to be conversation-starters."
The creative team of Ashaara also undertakes interior design consultancy. "When we design a house, we focus on space planning and enhancing the space depending on the personality of the client. Since we also customise, it opens up a lot of possibilities and room for experimentation."
Ashaara's shelves are filled with creations for its in-house fashion and accessories line Anya — kurtis, linen tops, cotton tunics with clean-cut designs and contemporary elements. Garments and fusion accessories from other designers also find space here.
Keywords: Design house, Ashaara, interior decor, home decor

I live in Salt Lake City. North and West are my faves. East of me is downtown and I hate the city. Too crowded and full of hipsters. And the east hills are loaded with huge houses and they complain about the deer in their yards. South is too crowded and loaded with perfect family this and lots of money that and you don't feel welcome. Everyone south builds and builds and builds and then complains about the freeway noise, landfill smell (that has been there for 30 years) and construction. North, past he refineries of course....is less crowded, nicer people, smaller, but nicer neighborhoods and my family too! I may be tropical, but I was raised a northern girl. Go a little further north and you're in Idaho. It makes a great weekend roadtrip. West is great too. It's a half an hour drive to the desert. It's super dark and there is no one out there. We take our bikes, small bbq grill, my guitar and my telescope to he highest peak. We ride bikes down the huge mountain and hike back up. By the time we get back to the top, it's dusk and we're starving. Then we BBQ, I play my guitar and wait for the stars. :)
North by northwest
North. The farther north I travel the cleaner the air, there's less people, and less light pollution.

I love stargazing.
I like north because I love the cold and also east because of the rich culture in Asia Africa and Europe which all happen to be east of my slice of the world. Also on the America scale, the east is so much better than the west!
Generally the one in which i'm going, else I would be headed in another.

How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever. Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak. But, there is also another sense in which seeing comes before words. It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but word can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. John Berger's Ways of Seeing is one of the most stimulating and influential books on art in any language. First published in 1972, it was based on the BBC television series about which the (London) Sunday Times critic commented: 'This is an eye-opener in more ways than one: by concentrating on how we look at paintings ...he will almost certainly change the way you look at pictures.' By now he has.

Serving up music with Sockso
User Management
The Collection Manager has a separate Users tab for user management. The Require login checkbox lets you specify whether the system will require users to enter a user account and password. By default, the server supports unrestricted access to your data but allows users to register if they want to do so. To change this behavior, enable the Disable registering checkbox to completely disable the registration function.
The Collection Manager General tab offers advanced configuration options. The General tab lets you modify the Title and Tagline in the web interface. The changes in this and other fields within the tab are automatically applied by the server. The logging feature lets you export user registration and login activity to a file, in which you can evaluate the information later. Another option lets you give users the ability to upload their own tracks. To do so, check the Enable uploads checkbox and define a target directory for file uploads.
Sockso also offers a set of command-line tools for managing the server. To use the tools, first launch the Sockso server in non-GUI mode by entering ./linux.sh -nogui. Once Sockso is running, you can enter the Sockso commands at the command line. For example, the coladd and coldel commands let you add tracks or delete tracks from your collection. To do so, just add a path to the command line. The collist command shows you which directory you are currently sharing.
In addition, you can configure Sockso at the command line. proplist gives you an overview of configurable parameters. propset lets you modify individual options. For example, propset uploads.enabled yes enables uploads.
External Access
To give your friends Internet access to your Sockso music collection, you must tell them the URL shown at the bottom of the Configuration Manager window. The URL includes the IP address assigned to your machine when you opened the Internet connection, a colon, and the port number. By default, the Sockso server runs on port 4444.
If your computer is behind a firewall, you'll need to configure the firewall to pass traffic to the Sockso server system.

Lynnwood man lives to run
For Teshome Kokebe, who grew up in Ethiopia, running is not only a way of life, it's something he's very good at
ANNIE MULLIGAN / For The Herald
Rock 'n' Roll marathon winner Teshome Kokebe of Lynnwood stretches after a light workout recently with running club Club Northwest at Roosevelt High School. Kokebe, originally from Ethiopia, won the Seattle-based marathon for the second time this year with a time of 2 hours, 31 minutes.

ANNIE MULLIGAN / For The Herald
Rock 'n' Roll marathon winner Teshome Kokebe stretches after a light workout with running club Club Northwest at Roosevelt High School Wednesday evening. Kokebe, originally from Ethiopia, won the Seattle-based marathon for the second time Saturday with a time of 2 hours, 31 minutes.
"He'll start running, and everyone is like 'Oh my god, who is this guy,'" said Ed Haywood, president of Club Northwest, a runners' club where Kokebe trains.
Kokebe, 30, of Lynnwood, won the Seattle Rock'n'Roll Marathon this year. He finished at 2 hours, 31 minutes and 47 seconds, with the closest competitor following about three minutes behind.
He also won the Seattle Marathon in 2010, just a month after moving to the United States from Ethiopia.
Kokebe doesn't like to talk about his accomplishments.
"He's a very quiet, kind and sincere person," Haywood said. "He does not have a big ego, he's just happy for his fellow runners when they are doing well."
Running is more than a sport for Kokebe. It's a part of life he brought with him to America.
Ethiopians are famous for being strong and agile athletes, and running is deeply embedded in the culture, Kokebe said.
He gets up before 5 almost every morning and runs about 12 miles, 20 if he's training for a marathon.
He runs everyday, sometimes twice.
Kokebe was a bodybuilder when he decided to try running about 10 years ago. He is about 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 132 pounds. His emotions show quickly through his shy smile and lively eyes.
"Running is addiction for me," he said in a recent interview. "If I don't do it, I get depressed."
Kokebe won a Green Card lottery -- an ongoing federal program designed to promote diversity. Each year, thousands of people from all over the world become legal U.S. residents that way.
Moving to America was not an easy decision for Kokebe.
He left behind his mother, brothers and sisters. He misses his family and talks to them on the phone often. (Skype and Facebook are banned in Ethiopia).
He also gave up his career as a professional runner representing Ethiopia at various races.
Kokebe grew up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital and largest city. He made a living as an athlete and sometimes did electrical work using skills he learned in the two years he studied electrical engineering.
He didn't speak much English when he moved to the United States but learned quickly after enrolling in a program at the Edmonds Community College.
An Ethiopian family who already were living in Lynnwood helped him get settled. He met other Ethiopians in the community and started going to an Ethiopian Orthodox church. Even so, Kokebe felt lonely here at first.
He found a community when he joined Club Northwest.
People in the club saw that he was trying to fit in and stepped up to help, Haywood said. Kokebe doesn't drive a car, so fellow runners give him rides to training sessions. Haywood told him about a job opening at the gym where his wife works.
Kokebe is thankful for his friends -- club members, his running partner, his boss and his EdCC teacher.
He'd like to become a coach and train other runners someday. Family members back in Ethiopia are telling him to quit running and start studying.
But for now, Kokebe's goal is to finish a marathon in two hours and 10 minutes.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I don't know if there is a topic for there or not, but I'd like to know how you all handle multiple weights, such as the bold, if there are any routines you go through with it, or anything peculiar to note. If there are a few aspects about doing bold and multiple weights, maybe it'd be nice to see a little discussion?
The only thing I could think of that covered how to make a bold was the type design notes at Briem's site. Any other resources?
I have made a quick image showing how Minion and Scala do their weights, I might make one for sans serifs later. Are there any fonts to note which take a particularly interesting stance on multiple weights, or are especially lovely in that respect?

Good post Brian! Too bad no-one's replying...
Some years ago I read somewhere that Luc(as) de Groot who designed TheSis had some mathematical formula to determine weights and the differences between them. In short he said that the optical average between light and bold is *not* 50%. I can't remember where I read it but I'll keep looking :-)
Most type designers are too tentative in varying stem width for optical balance.
Not Frutiger.
And don't be afraid to make a reeeeeally bold Ultra weight, even without an italic.
As I've said before, design your Hairline and Ultra early on, and interpolate between them for the other weights.
So what you are saying is
Don't be afraid to vary stem width for optical balance. (Frutiger is balanced at that), and
Make your reeeeally bold Ultra weight and your hairline weights early on, and interpolate between for your other weights
And on this, I have heard that it's a bad idea to interpolate between very bold and very thin weights, because they are so extreme. Would it be better to interpolate between regular and these other weights, or directly between these?
Does anyone have any examples of this?
And also I'd be interested in seeing that Luc(as) de Groot quote.
I usually interpolate between Hairline and Regular, and between Regular and Ultra.
Although on some occasions I have had to go back and do another Ultra, because I didn't go dark enough the first time.
Ok, thanks!
Also, here is an article explaining how the golden section may have something to do with weights, and explains de Groot's formula briefly. There are more links in that thread. Gems!
also this one for shifting vertical metrics for darker weights (this applies in reverse to light weights)
Mr. Shinn, when you said not to be afraid to make a "reeeeeally bold Ultra weight", was this what you meant? I just saw a diagram on de Groot's website showing a bold stem the width of five stems, and thought, why not? I'm wondering how well this will interpolate...
...was this what you meant?
A young Gilles Villeneuve spun out at every turn during practice, laughed at by the journeymen drivers, then won the race.
His theory, put into practice: How does one know how fast one can corner, if one doesn't know how fast is too fast?
How do you know it won't interpolate unless you try it?
Having tried it, the answer is: this fast is just a tad too fast!
Interpolated with the regular
The problem is, with letters like s, a, and e, the structure and thickness has to be changed too much, and so the intermediate weights suffer. Probably, a little above what is 50% interpolated in this test would be about the boldest I can feasibly go and have it interpolate well. I could, of course, make another master, and go all the way, but I can't go the far with just on bold master.
I feel I have overcome something great. I also learned that you have to make the starting point the same on each glyph.
I am not a type designer, so don't take too serious what I'm going to write. But...
Probably, you should rethink your Ultra. As it is very wide, you don't need such long serifs, which only accentuate the horizontal axis. They're diagonal, so their corners will be visible this way or another. I mean, if you close the inner space, serifs could be shortened as well.
The a and s have similar terminals in the regular weight, but different in the ultra. Refine all ultra glyphs first, check them in text; then interpolate.
It is very easy to find wrong ultra letters in printed text, because they will look like heavy black dots, or grayish crocks.
The best way (in my opinion) to find the bold, is to insert single words and longer sentences into a page set with your regular. One copy for one intermediate. Then you can show these pages to your friends, and probably they won't say "this" or "that", but something like "it should be between this and that". Then you decide.
Thanks for the thoughts Marcin! I think you are correct on all accounts, although this was just a rough test. This bold is really just too bold; no one in their right mind would use it in text, unless they were already using an ultra weight in text and needed a bold emphasis. That said, I think a little bolder than the 5% interpolated test would make a good bold for normal use, but like you said, testing in a block of text would be my best bet for the bold weight.
I think I'll still have the "Way Too Bold" version, but I might close up the counters a but more, and definitely shorten those serifs. Even then it might still be too bold, and I will probably need to make the stems a little thinner.
I bet people will love and use the "Way Too Bold" in texts. A broad range of weights is a plus, not surplus. Such extra can be helpful whenever a designer needs to put a special "wayfinding emphasis" into a complex text; it can be used as a paragraph intent replacement, etc.
Thanks for your comments Marcin! You've encouraged me that more weights can be very useful! I suppose my reasoning is that, except for a few situations, I don't even use bold weights, just semibold. But I think there are certain aspects of using different weights that can be a very big plus. I definitely think you are right about "wayfinding emphasis", I have just never designed anything as complex as that.
For everyone interested, I've searched Typophile for "Interpolation", and managed to find these bits in a thread on interpolation and light weights:
Hrant's interpolation reccomendations:
1) Make a midling weight that looks good for text.
2) Make a Bold "candidate" (maybe using auto-weight-gain + mucho tweaking).
3) Extrapolate the lightest and darkest extremes.
4) Clean up the extremes real good.
5) Make new intermediates and compare against the originals.
6) Tweak only the extremes to make any new intermediates come out good, dumping the original intermediates.
How Tim Ahrens interpolates:
1) Prepare an ultralight (maybe even stroke weight 0) monochrome weight.
2) Extrapolate the extrabold. This will be too "proportional", i.e. the stroke weight is constant, makeig a and e too bold.
3) Modify and clean up the extrabold.
4) Re-interpolate the regular wight.
5) Create an MM font with the "true" regular and the interpolated regular wight.
6) Extrapolate a "triple true" regular (truer than true!). Now you can see what makes the true regular true and make conscious decisions about that. I think the most important thing with designing is that you do everything consciously.
7) clean up the triple true and re-interpolate the true regular.
When I generate the final instances I put all three weights in one MM font. The semibold is not only an interpolation between regular and bold but I add a certain amount of extrapolation (regular and light).
The reason for this is that a point does not move on a straight line on its way from light to bold (that is why we need a true regular). However, it should not move on a line with a kink at the regular weight. It should move on a curve instead. So the semibold will not be on the direct line between regular and bold.
I usually prepare an Excel diagram that shows the amounts of light, regular and bold in all the instances. Again, the graphs schould not have kinks. The semibold usually has about -10% of the light weight, 60% regular and 50% extrabold.
From James Montalbano:
To make a bold ya gotta move either east or west.
I think James' comment really speaks volumes about bolds in some ways, at least, Frutiger used this method, and it worked wonderfully:
This seems like an incredibly good and simple solution; the problem is that a bold really wants to be a little more condensed than a regular, for two reasons: 1) To make a bold really be "bold", the space inside should probably be closed up more, 2) the bold should be a bit condensed in order to not be a large amount wider than the regular.
But an improvement in speed and "visualization" of the process can be made with this method
1) Creating an ultra weight using this method
2) Creating condensed versions of both the ultra and regular by
3) Interpolating with the condensed version to get the proper Ultra width
4) Determining the bold weight by interpolating between the regular ultra
5) doing necessary tweaking
I think Superpolator could also help this out, I'm planning on purchasing that as soon as possible.
You can also use "Autopsy" to look & learn
how different fonts resolve weights
Video Keynote here:
Also check out this thread: http://typophile.com/node/31036
"Where do bold weights come from"
I also have this comparison to show how most bolds are slightly condensed:
Ahh Pablo simultaneous post! That is a tremendous tool!
A quick test. Hairline to ultra.
I used 4 masters: Hairline, Regular, Black, & Ultra. I could have omitted the Regular, but that gave me a bit more control to the forms. As it stands, interpolation between Hairline & Black works.
Please note the weights aren't positioned along optimal points in the system - I just did 50% between each master.
