By now, it's pretty clear that establishing a social media presence is an absolute must for brands and companies. Social media can be a very valuable marketing tool, giving you an opportunity to connect to your audience and gain new followers. However, as with all tools, you have to figure out the best way to use it in order to maximize results. Otherwise, you might be squandering a great opportunity.
Your Facebook Page a great opportunity to give your followers, new and old, a better sense of your brand personality. Whimsical? Fashion-forward? Funny? Irreverent?

Whether you're just starting out, or are looking for ways to improve your page, here are some suggestions on how best to incorporate branding on Facebook.

Waste disposal becomes complex because of the number and variety of industries
Driving on the neat, tree-lined streets of Peenya industrial estate, one may forget that the area is home to over 3,000 large- and small-scale industries. It is one of the largest industrial areas in Asia, set up in the late 1970s, producing diverse materials and one of the largest revenue generators for Karnataka.
But, apart from an occasional waft of the smell of industrial chemicals, the area looks surprisingly clean. No mounds of garbage lying about, no pot-holed roads, no fumes choking you.
Tank turns toxic
One has to walk into the 2nd phase of the estate to witness the underlying chemical pollution in the area. T. Dasarahalli tank was once a lake, but now stands as a basin of thick, black, foul-smelling liquid, far from anything that could be called water. "Unauthorised factories around the lake empty their waste into the lake without any treatment," say authorities from the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board. This untreated waste has caused the eutrophication of the water, says Nandini N., professor at the environmental science department of Bangalore University, who conducted tests on the water here for over three years.
What little water is found in deep borewells here seems dangerously polluted that not finding any at all seems safer for the unaware resident.
Last March, water from borewells in Peenya Phase III was a foul yellow. When tested, it was found that hexavalent chromium was found in absurd amounts in this water, even causing chromium sores to residents who had no clue about the presence of this heavy metal in the water they used for almost everything around the house.
Peenya industrial area councillor K.L. Thimmananjiah says that about 50 kg of waste is generated by each industry in this area every day.
"The issue of waste disposal becomes complex because of the sheer number and variety of industries here and the variety of waste that each produces," said a senior government official, who did not want to be named. "Facilities are provided, but they are just not enough."
Most of the waste generated by big industries is recycled if possible and even used as raw material by other industries. But, the hazardous waste is carried to a landfill in Dabaspet, where the government has allotted 100 acres for dumping.
Blame game
Time and again, voices have been raised against the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagar Palike (BBMP) by the industries in the area for not supporting them with amenities to keep the area clean. The most recent of these strikes was staged last month demanding facilities on a par with the taxes they paid.
"The issue of solid waste management should be handled technically and not as per the contractor's convenience, like it is being handled now," Thimmananjiah says.
As the blame jumps from one department to the other, untreated metals and chemicals continue to seep into the water and soil here.

TravelPod Member ReviewsCordoba Centro Córdoba
Cordoba is a great city, not very big but beautiful buildings, gardens and city center. I spent two days in Cordoba and slept at Funky Cordoba hostels. The room was for 2 people, and it looked a hotel room, we had our own bathroom with everything in it! The breakfast was also good and cheap, i would recommend it to everyone. Nice, cosy and cheep hostel ;)

... The buildings are huge. Some are very decorative, but many are not as pretty as in other places we have been. They are more imposing - big and block-like. Even the Alcazar here (the palace) is not very decorative. That is not to detract from the city though, it really is quite amazing. ...

A couple were permanently in an impassioned embrace in a small park next to the bridge, exactly in camera shot, lower right. I knew that if I took a photo of the bridge, no-one would look at the bridge, I took it anyway. Having now got a proper map of the town, we made our way ...

It was amazing, 850 columns. It was pretty impressive. Then we went across the old roman bridge and looked at an old water mill. We went into an old fortress then some gardens. It's real hot here ...

... value this cultural experience much more then we would in the US. Its a family event but also a social time. After class I went home and took a 2 hour nap! it was great! Then i went out to get tapas and beer with everyone before we walked to the Feria.

On March 25, 1864, Confederate cavalry leader Major General Nathan Bedford Forrest launched a successful raid on Paducah, quickly occupying the town, recruiting soldiers, and stripping supplies and horses from the Union troops, forcing Union leader Col. Stephen G. Hicks to withdraw to the west end of the town. Paducah Tilghman House Director Bill Baxter speaks with Todd Hatton on Sounds Good about the battle on the eve of its Sesquicentennial.
A special postmark is being issued as part of the re-enactment of the Civil War Battle of Sacramento in western Kentucky. The U.S. Postal Service will offer the postmark starting Tuesday as part of a series of commemorations marking the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, which took place from 1861 to 1865. The postmark will be available at a log cabin near the battlegrounds in Sacramento. The Battle of Sacramento took place on December 28, 1861 between Union Major Eli H. Murray and Confederate Col.

Fundsmith is focused on delivering superior investment performance at a reasonable cost. It was established to be different from its peers so as to achieve a different result in line with Sir John Templeton's axiom that "If you want to have a better performance than the crowd, you must do things differently from the crowd." The rigorous research process of Fundsmith is central to what we do. We apply exacting standards to potential investments to produce a portfolio of resilient businesses with excellent performance. Minimising the costs we incur on behalf of our customers in implementing our strategy also sits at the heart of our philosophy.
Fundsmith was established in 2010 by Terry Smith. The business is owned and controlled by its partners, who have worked closely together over many years, and is headquartered in London with an office in Connecticut, USA. It is structured to survive Terry Smith's demise and continue with the same investment philosophy. All partners of the firm have a significant co-investment in our Funds delivering a clear alignment of interest. Ancillary activities are outsourced to some of the world's leading providers in order to deliver high quality operations whilst allowing the Fundsmith team to focus on the investment analysis and portfolio management and customer care. As at 31st December 2014 we managed £3.3bn in global equities on behalf of some of the world's largest and most sophisticated wealth managers, families, private banks, financial intermediaries and individuals invested in our four funds, a UK OEIC, Fundsmith Equity Fund, a Luxembourg SICAV, Fundsmith Equity Fund Feeder, a Delaware L.P, Fundsmith Equity Fund L.P. and the Fundsmith Emerging Equities Trust, a London listed closed-end investment trust.

Was Rod McKuen the Secret Godfather of Punk Rock?
For hacks of a certain vintage, the name "Rod McKuen" served as a effortless go-to punchline ingredient, the way "Sarah Palin" or "Justin Bieber" does today.
Zillion-selling author and lyricist McKuen was the Thomas Kinkade of poetry.
His death last week left me decidedly unmoved, except that I was quite distressed to learn this, from Mark Steyn:
And yet it is a melancholy fact that Frank Sinatra, a singer with matchless taste in music, nevertheless recorded more songs by Rod McKuen than he did songs by, to pluck at random, Duke Ellington, Dorothy Fields, Noel Coward, Bacharach & David, Leonard Bernstein, Vincent Youmans, Cy Coleman, George Gershwin… He recorded as many songs of Rod McKuen as he did of Jerome Kern – 13 apiece. And he never made an entire album devoted to Kern (or to Porter or Berlin or Rodgers) as he did to McKuen.
That was the only obit I read, so my next weird discovery was purely accidental…
I continue to pickax my way through a massive, eclectic "mix tape" sent to me by a longtime reader, and recently alighted upon tunes from a compilation called Las Vegas Grind Vol. 3. (Think of the slightly raunchy, faux jazz music you hear in 1950s and 1960s B-movies.)
One song caught my ear. Wait a minute: That's…
It was listed as "(I Belong to) the Beat Generation" (1959) by Bob & Dor.
But I knew that melody — played on this record, stubborn rumor has it, by no less than Bill Haley and the Comets — from another source:
"That's Richard Hell's 1977 hugely seminal ur-punk song ("I Belong to) the Blank Generation," I thought. What the…?
Now, I've always been far more enamored of British punk than its American — more specifically, New York City/CBGB's — iteration.
So that's why I'm the last to know:
Not only did Hell lift his punk anthem directly from McKuen — the "Bob" of the '59 duo — but he didn't even share the writing credits (and therefore royalties, puny as they probably were) with the old guy.
Naturally, Hell dumped McKuen's satirical lyrics — Beatniks being so easy to spoof by "squares" that there were probably more ersatz ones about in the fifties than living specimens — and substituted his own:
They're a cry from a typically tortured, self-pitying but precociously gifted adolescent, if Pete Townshend's "Jimmy" had read Baudelaire.
What always struck me about those lyrics was the first line's "As I was saying…" flavor, as if the spirit of punk had been in the womb or in a coma and had finally reawakened or been born, unaware of how long it had been in stasis.
This sensation is more acute now that I'm aware of the song's lineage.
Anyway, maybe McKuen found the whole thing too flattering or funny to sue over. And yeah, he was rich anyhow.
So what? you ask. Well, this:
[Malcolm McLaren] had already spotted Richard Hell, a New York poet and musician, who had been in the groups Neon Boys and Television and would go on to write the punk anthem "Blank Generation". "I just thought Hell was incredible," he recalled. "Here was a guy all deconstructed, torn down, looking like he'd just crawled out of a drain hole, covered in slime, looking like he hadn't slept or washed in years, and looking like he didn't really give a **** about you! He was this wonderful, bored, drained, scarred, dirty guy with a torn and ripped T-shirt. I don't think there was a safety pin there. This look, this image of this guy, this spiky hair, everything about it. There was no question I'd take it back to London. I was going to imitate it and transform it into something more English."
And so he did.
How Tolkien Ennobled Popular Culture (While Star Wars Degraded It)
My last post ("May the Farce Be With You") drew 280 comments, most of them infuriated, and most of them ill-informed. By way of remedy, I repost below an April 4, 2007 review-essay on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Children of Hurin. My literary friends point out that Tolkien's style is turgid and his literary muse is lame. I don't care. No writer in the English language did more to uplift popular culture. Star Wars, I observe, derives from Richard Wagner's noxious Ring cycle by way of the odious Joseph Campbell, and had a corrupting effect on the culture. The contrast with Tolkien is instructive. Rather than remasticate the pagan idea of the hero, Tolkien created a pagan anti-hero (specifically, an anti-Beowulf and anti-Siegfried) in the tragic figure of Turin. Reconstructed from manuscripts by Tolkien's son Christopher, the Turin story sheds light on the broader purpose of The Lord of the Rings, and illuminates the fraught relationship between the pagan and Christian worlds.
Many readers objected to the way I threw Harry Potter into the same kettle as Luke Skywalker. A qualification is in order: J.K. Rowling stole from Star Wars as well as from Tolkien (and of course from Thomas Hughes), so that one can read a variety of different standpoints into her work. They all are there, in unhappy cohabitation.
Tolkien's Christianity and the pagan tragedy
The Children of Hurin, by J R R Tolkien, edited by Christopher Tolkien
Reviewed by Spengler
J R R Tolkien was the most Christian of 20th-century writers, not because he produced Christian allegory and apologetics like his friend C S Lewis, but because he uniquely portrayed the tragic nature of what Christianity replaced. Thanks to the diligence of his son Christopher, who reconstructed the present volume from several manuscripts, we have before us a treasure that sheds light on the greater purpose of his The Lord of the Rings.
In The Children of Hurin, a tragedy set some 6,000 years before the tales recounted in The Lord of the Rings, we see clearly why it was that Tolkien sought to give the English-speaking peoples a new pre-Christian mythology. It is a commonplace of Tolkien scholarship that the writer, the leading Anglo-Saxon scholar of his generation, sought to restore to the English their lost mythology. In this respect the standard critical sources (for example Edmund Wainwright) mistake Tolkien's profoundly Christian motive. In place of the heroes Siegfried and Beowulf, the exemplars of German and Anglo-Saxon pagan myth, we have the accursed warrior Turin, whose pride of blood and loyalty to tribe leave him vulnerable to manipulation by the forces of evil.
Tolkien's popular Ring trilogy, I have attempted to show, sought to undermine and supplant Richard Wagner's operatic Ring cycle, which had offered so much inspiration for Nazism. [1] With the reconstruction of the young Tolkien's prehistory of Middle-earth, we discern a far broader purpose: to recast as tragedy the heroic myths of pre-Christian peoples, in which the tragic flaw is the pagan's tribal identity. Tolkien saw his generation decimated, and his circle of friends exterminated, by the nationalist compulsions of World War I; he saw the cult of Siegfried replace the cult of Christ during World War II. His life's work was to attack the pagan flaw at the foundation of the West.
It is too simple to consider Tolkien's protagonist Turin as a conflation of Siegfried and Beowulf, but the defining moments in Turin's bitter life refer clearly to the older myths, with a crucial difference: the same qualities that make Siegfried and Beowulf exemplars to the pagans instead make Turin a victim of dark forces, and a menace to all who love him. Tolkien was the anti-Wagner, and Turin is the anti-Siegfried, the anti-Beowulf. Tolkien reconstructed a mythology for the English not (as Wainwright and other suggest) because he thought it might make them proud of themselves, but rather because he believed that the actual pagan mythology was not good enough to be a predecessor to Christianity.
"Alone among 20th-century novelists, J R R Tolkien concerned himself with the mortality not of individuals but of peoples. The young soldier-scholar of World War I viewed the uncertain fate of European nations through the mirror of the Dark Ages, when the life of small peoples hung by a thread," I wrote in an earlier essay. [2] Christianity demands of the Gentile that he reject his sinful flesh and be reborn into Israel; only through a new birth can the Gentile escape the death of his own body as well as the death of his hopes in the inevitable extinction of his people.
Slamming Torah: There's an App for That
Last week the Forward covered a "trendy Jewish spoken word" happening in the trendy neighborhood of Park Slope in the trendy part of trendy New York City known as Brooklyn. If the E! network hasn't made you wary enough of the word "trendy" this article surely should. Basically, it's about a doctoral student and an app techie using grant funding to study what makes Judaism trendy with millennials. And if that doesn't set off any alarm bells in your head, let me be very clear: the title "Sermon Slam" shouldn't fool you. Despite the religious-themed location, if God was invited to join in the party it was to sit and be talked at, not about let alone with.
For those of you unfamiliar with Judaism or hip lingo: Instead of reading the Torah portion, and perhaps even the Haftarah portion, then wrestling with the meaning of the portion through a discussion involving comparative texts, the Sermon Slam for young adults involves attacking the weekly Torah portion with a style akin to a poetry slam – rough-edged spoken verse rooted in the performer's emotions and personal (potentially uneducated) perspective:
"Spoken word poetry has become increasingly sexy. …When you synergize that with something that sounds boring, like a sermon… it's an ancient tradition that we're now embracing and making our own. It's for the people, by the people. That feels exciting to those of us in our 20s and 30s."
I'm far from Orthodox, in fact I don't identify as a Rabbinic Jew (Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, or Reconstructionist) at all. But this self aggrandizing hyperbole annoys me more than black hatters arguing over sleeve length ever could. Seriously, is Judaism so desperate for adherents that we're getting grant funding to make the Torah "sexy"?
It gets worse. Apparently making the Torah "sexy" doesn't involve actually reading the Torah as much as it involves creating a postmodern pastiche of Biblical words and pop culture lingo:
References to iPhones and to Facebook popped up in the same sentence as "Kiddush." And the hallowed Hebrew names of God, "Adonai" and "Elohim," were uttered in the same breath as "s–t."
And now you know why I avoid obnoxious hipster Judaism like the plague. With its goddess worship of Sarah Silverman and Lena Dunham and its conversion of New York into the New Zion, this religion has nothing to do with God and Torah and everything to do with Judaizing the kind of liberal self help ethos already prolific within the New Age and Buddhist movements. What's next for Sermon Slam, a Chopra-esque two-hour fundraising featurette on PBS?
Armistice Day and The Forgotten Symbolism of the Poppy
On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns of Europe fell silent. We in the US know of November 11th as Veterans' Day, a holiday to honor those who have served in our military forces.
Sadly, the day isn't thought of much outside the military. The President lays a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery. As it is not usually a day off of work, most department stores don't even bother with announcing a sale. A news story about Obama's plans for Veterans' Day 2011 sums up the lack of gravitas our culture gives to the day. After quoting the news release that Obama would attend the ceremonies at Arlington and then fly to San Diego to watch a football game with the crew of the USS Carl Vinson, the report concluded:
Will you be tuning in to watch the historic event? If nothing else it will be cool to watch a game on a war machine that can literally wipe out an entire city.
I didn't know much about Veterans' Day until we moved to London. From the beginning of November to the 11th or the second Sunday, Remberance Sunday, people wear commemorative poppies on their lapels. The British Legion sells the pins as a fund raiser for wounded veterans. (The American Legion does as well, but on a small scale.) On both days, people observe a moment of silence at 11 am. Why two days? During WWII, the moment of silence was moved to the closest Sunday so as not to interfere with wartime production. After WWII ended, the double observance remained, perhaps as a reminder as to why the ceremony had to move.
An Anthem for the Coming Years: Battle Born
PJ Lifestyle is quiet today. We have a grim, nauseous writers block, at least for light pieces. Today we reassess, adjust. I took a walk to clear my head. I've been writing about The Killers, so had most of their album in my 'recently played' playlist. I had planned a short post at my place about the patriotic anthem, "Battle Born," but after yesterday I find the song holds more fire than I thought. Whether you like the sound of indie rock or not, read the lyrics:
You lost faith in the human spirit
You walk around like a ghost
Your star-spangled heart
Took a train for the coast
When you shine you're a hilltop mansion
So how'd you lose the light?
Was it blown by the wind
In the still of the night?
I always saw you as a kind of keeper
A mother to a child
But your boys have grown soft
And your girls have gone wild
From the Blue Ridge to the Black Hills
To the Redwood sky
The season may pass
But the dream doesn't die
Now don't you drop the ball
Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
Cause you can't stop now
When they break your heart
When they cause your soul to mourn
Remember what I said
Boy, you was battle born
When the night falls on the land
Are you haunted by the sound?
It's gonna take more than a hand
To turn this thing around
Won't you lean it on me?
Rescue, set me free
Up against the wall
There's something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
Cause you can't stop now
Did they break your heart?
And did they cause your soul to mourn?
Remember what I said
Boy, you was battle born
Cause you can't stop now
Come on show your face
Come on give us one more spark
Sing a song of fire
Lest we fall into the dark
Cause you can't stop now
You never know
If you never learn
You never shine
If you never burn
The rising tide
The undertow
The venom and
The overflow
The turn away
The welcome home
Everything and Everyone You Know is In This Picture
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
– T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

Billy Collins
I Chop Some Parsley While Listening To Art Blakey's Version Of "Three Blind Mice"
And I start wondering how they came to be blind.
If it was congenital, they could be brothers and sister,
and I think of the poor mother
brooding over her sightless young triplets.
Or was it a common accident, all three caught
in a searing explosion, a firework perhaps?
If not,
if each came to his or her blindness separately,
how did they ever manage to find one another?
Would it not be difficult for a blind mouse
to locate even one fellow mouse with vision
let alone two other blind ones?
And how, in their tiny darkness,
could they possibly have run after a farmer's wife
or anyone else's wife for that matter?
Not to mention why.
Just so she could cut off their tails
with a carving knife, is the cynic's answer,
but the thought of them without eyes
and now without tails to trail through the moist grass
or slip around the corner of a baseboard
has the cynic who always lounges within me
up off his couch and at the window
trying to hide the rising softness that he feels.
By now I am on to dicing an onion
which might account for the wet stinging
in my own eyes, though Freddie Hubbard's
mournful trumpet on "Blue Moon,"
which happens to be the next cut,
cannot be said to be making matters any better.

Many men roll their eyes when they hear the word massage. They think, "No thanks, not for me." Well, a lot of men should reconsider this attitude, because women need foreplay to get into a sexual mood. This article provides some amazing sexual massage tips to make your woman worship you.
The first thing you need to do is pick out a good, non-petroleum based massage oil. Find her favorite smell and make sure to pick some up. Don't buy a cheap one, there are literally thousands on the market that are filled with questionable materials. You know how women are about their skin, men. You don't want to give them a nervous breakdown with something that you picked up for .99 cents at the dollar store.
Once you get yourself some good lubrication, make sure to have a plan to protect the bed from the oil. Women also love their bedding so you are going to need some huge towels to put her mind at ease when it comes to her prized comforter and sheets. Once that is taken care of, you then need to understand some massage basics of a woman's body.
A road map of the female back and buttock
You are going to want to apply oil down the entire spine and a small amount on the neck. Be careful not to saturate the hair around her neck. That is also why it's important to get a water based lubricant, so you don't have to worry about her getting it out of her hair in the shower. Start on the shoulders and be very gentle. Most women don't like overly firm massages.
Slowly go down the shoulder blades and the large muscles in the back. Do not try any odd, amateur chiropractic work. Work your way down to the lower back and to the buttock. The buttock is the key erogenous zone here. Work some firm pressure over it in varying angles and she will love you.

As a result, many women have decreased sensation during intercourse. The key to bringing back the friction required to have awesome sex is a simple one- vaginal exercises. Let me explain how you can both tighten and strengthen your vagina in no time at all.
Some women don't seem to know what really turns a man on. A lot of men start looking for other women and mistresses because the male mind gets bored easily. Learn these tips to make sure your man doesn't ever get bored.
If you want to make you sex life super hot, then I am going to share with you a few very effective sex tips that will drive your man absolutely wild. You want men to remember you for your sexual expertise. You want them to talk to all of your buddies about how amazing you are/were in the bedroom. Follow these three simple tips to turn up the heat instantly!
There are a few ways to get your woman to a state of absolute paralyzed ecstasy. The important aspect of this is to understand that speed can, and often times will, kill her ability to have an amazing pulsing orgasm. This is due to the very sensitive nature of the clitoris. There are many book, articles, and web sites that discuss oral sex moves that involve moving your tongue or finger very quickly to bring a woman to orgasm.
Many women wonder how they can tighten their vagina. They find themselves increasingly self-conscious about their tightness, especially after giving birth. Others simply feel loose. And often the first thing they come across are vaginal tightening creams. Unfortunately, these creams do not work.
Vaginal rejuvenation, on average, costs between 5000-8000 dollars. Not only is this exorbitant, but there's no need for it! Don't make doctors rich when you can tighten and strengthen your vagina for free! That's right, you don't need to go under the knife (or laser) to get a tighter, stronger vagina.
Many women often report that they feel "loose," or that they just don't feel as tight as they'd like to feel. Other women have had a child, and their vaginal muscles and pelvic floor have been significantly stressed as a result. This often leads to stress urinary incontinence, and can even lead to pelvic organ prolapse. There are, however, very simple exercises that can completely eliminate both of these problems - Kegel exercises. The benefits of tightening a "loose" vagina are numerous.
So you want to tighten your vagina? Maybe you've recently had a child, or maybe you want to tighten you vaginal muscles to make your love life absolutely explosive. Either way, it's possible with completely natural exercises. Yes, there are toys that you can purchase to help you make your vagina tighter, but they are by no means necessary, and can be very expensive.

After several weeks of inactivity, I am pleased to announce that I have taken over the project Butterfly!
I was able to move forward on its development despite my external project "prosumer" and I could create some new ideas. Including a power that will create a black hole and a first enemy entity.
This entity will be a video at the end of this article. The Namybius, as I have named, is the result of magnetic fields surrounding the mysterious island on which to build history. It consists only of circles made themselves anti-gravitational cells. Its purpose is to protect the island and the people who live there.
Luther, the hero will be the disruptive element for some reason you find the mod once finished. The fact is that this entity will not be alone. I think create a dozen for the whole mod.
Regarding the script, I finally started writing the first chapter. I'm unfortunately not good at writing my ideas, ironically, I can easily keep them in memory. But put them on paper is always complicated.
Hoping you'll like design and particles!
I wish you a good viewing experience and give you an appointment for a later news next month, this time with more details.
The original map which is based on the mod Butterfly: The Prelude. This map is a bit old now, but it will give you an idea of the universe that inspired...
This looks F-ing amazing!! When does it come out?
another tech demo destined for dead status?
nothing here is destined for dead status your just pessimistic.
Isn't it time to give same updates?
Just to tell us if you're still working on this...
it's almost 2 years with no news. No offense here, just a suggestion.
what do you think the system requirements of this mod will be?
A mid-range pc enough! ;)
on low :(
it sure looks laggy
Nope, seriously, a mid-range in High, it's ok, no lag ;)
One of my MoTY votes goes to this. But you must get releasing stuff mate! :)
You get one of my votes as well =) Keep up the good work
Thank you very much :D
Thank you :)
I'm just creating two videos for release this month end, so hopefully it will attract more people.

The University plans to engage the staff and faculty of Penn and UPHS in a greening effort, enabling them to plant trees in their own yards. This section includes a list of frequently asked questions relating to the Creating Canopy tree giveaway initiative.
Who can sign up to receive a free tree?
University of Pennsylvania (Penn) staff and faculty and employees of the University of Pennsylvania Hospital System (UPHS) who own a home in the city or in the surrounding suburbs are eligible to participate.
Can I get more than one tree?
Residents can request one tree per address, to be planted on their private land.
Where can I plant my tree?
You can plant your tree on property that is privately owned by you, or private property on which you have permission to plant. You must plant your tree in the ground; it will not survive if planted in a container or planter. Please make sure that you plant your tree in a space that can accommodate the tree at maturity (see space and size information provided in the Creating Canopy Tree Info PDF [1]). If you are interested in planting a tree on your city street in Philadelphia, please visit TreePhilly Street Trees Registration [2] for more information. In other municipalities, contact your local office.
What size yard do I need to be able to plant a tree?
When you register to receive your tree, you will be able to choose between a large and a small tree from a selection of different species. (All trees are first-come, first-served.) "Large" trees can grow up to 80 feet tall and 50 feet wide at maturity, and "small" trees can grow up to 30 feet tall and 30 feet wide at maturity. Make sure that you measure your planting space and register for a tree that will fit your space at the tree's mature size.
What kind of trees will be available?
On the Creating Canopy Registration website [3], you will be able to pick from different species of large and small trees. View our Tree Information Guide (PDF) [1] for more details on each tree listed below.

Where do I pick up my tree?
Creating Canopy tree pick up will be located at:
Penn Park Parking Lot
3100 Lower Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104
Use this PDF [4] to view the location.
How do I get my tree home?
Each tree will be in a 3, 5 or 7 gallon plastic pot, will weigh up to 25 lbs and will stand between 3 and 6' tall, depending on the species. Depending on how far you have to travel, trees can be carried, but they will fit easily in the back of a truck or SUV, and can even be driven home in a small car with the top sticking out the window!
How soon after picking it up should I plant my tree in the ground?
Within 15 days of picking up your tree, it should be planted in the ground.
How much care goes into planting a new tree?
Weekly watering of 15-20 gallons at a minimum is required for the first two growing seasons. Additionally, keep the area around the tree weed free and make sure the soil around tree is not compacted by foot or vehicular traffic. Mulching the area is also helpful, but do not over mulch. On an annual basis, apply 2-4 inches of mulch evenly around the tree, being sure to keep mulch away from the tree trunk.
If I have follow up questions for planting or caring for my tree, who do I contact?

Director Paul Weitz talks about 'Admission'

Paul Weitz makes some suggestions to Tina Fey and Paul Rudd on the set of "Admission."
March 19, 2013 3:25 p.m.
Over the past decade and a half, director Paul Weitz (who has also written some of his films) has been
exploring adult-child – sometimes parent-child – relationships. They were there, in the background, in
"American Pie," one was right upfront in "About a Boy," and, of course, there was the comic in-law
business in "Little Fockers" and the searing father-son story of "Being Flynn." In "Admission," based on
the Jean Hanff Korelitz novel, there are parent-child and student-mentor relationships left and right. Tina
Fey stars as a Princeton admissions officer, playing opposite Paul Rudd, as an alternative high school
teacher who tries to get her interested in accepting a young protégé. Weitz spoke about the film in New
Why is it that so much of your work is about shaping young minds?
I have three little kids, and certainly parenting has changed so much. Parenting in my dad's generation –
the WWII generation –was really different and strict. It would be utterly ineffective in dealing with my
kids. Also, having waited a while to have kids, the question does present itself of whether you're actually
going to be any good at parenting.
Was working with Tina Fey and Paul Rudd different from working with other actors?
The great thing about directing for me is how different actors are from each other. In their makeup, there's
instinct and there's analysis. Eventually the two things have to be going together. Because if you have
a purely instinctive actor, but they're walking away from the lights while they're talking, then you're in
some trouble. There's always something you have to be doing with your rational brain. And when you have
somebody like Tina – somebody who's able to analyze what's going on with their character and what's
going on with the whole story – that's really helpful. Paul is the same way. When I first told him about it,
he was really excited because he wanted to work with Tina. Then I sent the script to him and he didn't want
to do it because he felt the character was soft, and a bit of a cliché. So I worked on the character with him,
and rewrote with him.
Are you, as usual, working on many projects at once?
I'm writing a couple of original ideas and I'm working on adapting a novel which has been around for a
while, called "Bel Canto," by Ann Patchett. It would be really challenging to make into a good film. I'd
direct and write it. I hope I'm up to the task.
What do you like about doing adaptations?
I feel slightly guilty about doing adaptations, because it's almost impossible to do justice to a novel. The
last adaptation I did – "Being Flynn" – was an awesome situation, in all but the fact that nobody saw it.
It was Nick Flynn's life story, and I became good friends with Nick. And now he's written a book called
"The Reenactments," about the experience of processing his life through having a film made of it. So now
I'm a character in his memoir.

Architects @ Roundhouse – London
Brighton boys Architects have come a long way. After playing at Camden's KOKO last year on March 14th, they are back exactly a year later, to play a sold out show at the Roundhouse. There's a sense of nostalgia in the venue as the metalcore quartet grace the stage, emphasised by vocalist Sam Carter's reference to last year's KOKO gig. The band start as they mean to go on by kicking off with 'Broken Cross' and 'The Devil Is Near' – both from their most recent album Lost Together//Lost Forever – the latter being a powerful song with a thought-provoking message against animal cruelty, which is highlighted by Carter's passionate and emotive delivery.
