61. MAP Reading: NATO's and Russia's Pathways to European Military IntegrationJul 07, 2011
As part of NATO's and Europe's continuing and open-ended processes of enlargement and military-political integration, in 1999, NATO presented aspiring members with a Membership Action Plan (MAP) to guide them in their activities preparing their governments and armed forces for membership in NATO. The MAP, if fulfilled according to NATO's requirements and approbation, allegedly would make the aspiring members' military forces more nearly congruent or interoperable with NATO forces. With this document, NATO has arguably created its own version of the EU's acquis communautaire "against which the Alliance can assess the technical preparations and capacities of the nine MAP partners and judge their readiness for membership." more

Florida Obama donor shares in inauguration festivities
To the list of celebrities like Jamie Foxx and big-name donors such as George Soros giving the maximum to help pay for Barack Obama's inauguration, add one more name: Raul Pedraza, a Miami business owner who until this year hadn't given a cent to a politician.
After contributing what he says was "lots" to Obama's presidential campaign, Pedraza has pledged $50,000 to defray the costs of producing an inauguration expected to draw two million people to the Capitol.
For his hefty contribution, Pedraza, the president of Magno International, a Doral-based international transportation company, will gain coveted access to all official inaugural events, including the swearing-in, seating at the parade and tickets to the inaugural balls.
The access isn't as important as seeing that Obama's presidency is celebrated, "first class," Pedraza said.
"It's one of those things for the country, it's prime time and it needs to be done right," Pedraza said.
Unlike past inaugural committees, Obama's committee is not accepting contributions from corporations, political action committees, labor unions, current federal lobbyists, non-U.S. citizens or registered foreign agents. It has also capped individual contributions at $50,000, although some donors are bundling up to $300,000. (In contrast, fundraisers for President George W. Bush put a $250,000 cap on individual contributions to his inaugural committees.)
Among Obama's Florida bundlers: Democratic fundraisers Chris Korge of Miami and Mitchell Berger of Fort Lauderdale and Kirk Wagar, who served as Obama's Florida finance chairman.
It will be Korge's third inauguration. He said he's contributing to help ensure a successful event – the inaugural committee has opened the entire National Mall to the expected flood of observers.

We are pleased to present the first of this two-part contribution by writer and curator Nicole Smythe-Johnson, who has joined the Jamaica Biennial 2014 as project manager:
On the occasion of the NGJ's 40th Anniversary, and the unveiling of its re-structured flagship exhibition – The Jamaica Biennial, I thought it might be worth pausing to ask: "What is a Biennial?"
Seems like a simple enough question, and at first I thought I had the equally simple answer. When people asked, and they often did, I replied confidently: "It's a sort of mega-exhibition, mounted every two years, that focuses on art made in a particular place/region in the previous two or so years." I would even think to myself: "Surely the name is self-explanatory?"
It became more complicated though. More questions came: Who are we mounting this show for? Who needs to keep abreast of what art is being made in Jamaica, or Sao Paolo, or Havana? What of the visiting (or "international", as they've come to be known) artists or curators? They are not locals, where do they fit? Is this about showing "local art" to "internationals", or showing "international art" to "locals"? And to what end? Where did this "Biennial" thing come from? And why is a Biennial sometimes a Biennale? I'll try to give you the abridged version.
Most trace the origins of the biennial exhibition back to the Venice Biennale in Italy (turns out Biennale is just Biennial in Italian, and is sometimes used to reference non-Italian Biennial art exhibitions in homage to that first "La Biennale"). Some go back further, to the mid nineteenth century when Europe was riveted by universal expositions. Most notably, the Great Exhibition of 1851 at Hyde Park in London, which sought to house (and order) the world's newly discovered cultural, industrial and geographic diversity in a grand Crystal Palace. The Crystal Palace and its particular perspective on global multiplicity, as well as its confident assumption of the authority to display and classify that multiplicity is the subject of much literature, but it was in this climate of flexing imperial muscle that the first Venice Biennale opened in 1895.
It started out much like the 2014 Jamaica Biennial. What was conceived as a biennial exhibition of Italian art, quickly evolved into a largely by-invitation exhibition, with a section reserved for international artists, and a jury that selected works from submissions by local (i.e. Italian) artists. Until 1905 the Biennial was confined to the Central Pavilion, then the Pro Arte building. There, work from invited and juried Italian artists, and international (read European) artists were exhibited with no internal division.
Given the success of the first exhibition, the Biennial invited other nations to establish their own national pavilions in the Giardini- the park in which the Central Pavilion is located- to exhibit work exclusively by artists from the various nations. In 1907, the first of the 29 permanent national pavilions in the Giardini was constructed by Belgium. By 1914, Hungary (1909), Germany (1909), Great Britain (1909), France (1912), and Russia (1914) had joined.

Reclamation Selects New Deputy Regional Director for Power and Infrastructure
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
BOISE, Idaho - Reclamation's Pacific Northwest Regional Director Lorri Lee announced today that Terry Kent has been selected as the new Deputy Regional Director for Power and Infrastructure Technical Services. He replaces Steven Jarsky who is now leading World Class Hydro efforts at Grand Coulee Dam.

"I am very pleased to announce the selection of Terry Kent as the next Deputy Regional Director for Power and Infrastructure," said Lee.

From 1977 to 1980, he worked in Redding, California, as a Supervisory Electrical Engineer. Kent has worked in the Pacific Northwest Regional Office since 1980 holding the positions of Supervisory Electrical Engineer, Supervisory General Engineer, and Regional Power Manager.

Slovakia's Sagan wins another stage
APTOS – Peter Sagan of Slovakia won his second straight stage with a powerful and unchallenged sprint and retained the overall lead Monday in Stage 2 of the Amgen Tour of California.
The Liquigas-Cannondale rider was timed in the 117.1-mile road race from San Francisco in 5 hours, 2 minutes. He leads the eight-day event by 8 seconds over Australia's Heinrich Haussler, a former Tour de France stage winner who was second for the second straight day, a half-dozen bike lengths behind.
Sagan was among 10 cyclists who crashed 73 miles into Stage 2. All of the fallen riders returned to the field.
"Today was very hard; the climbs went very fast," said Sagan, the former mountain junior world titlist who earned his fifth career win in the seven-year-old Tour of California.
Sagan also crashed with about 41/2 miles left in the opening stage, losing more than 20 seconds to the field, but returned to the front with teammates' help.
Leigh Howard of the Orica-GreenEDGE team was third in Stage 2, which took the starting field of 128 along the California coast.
Defending champion Chris Horner of Bend, Ore., finished safely in the main field for the second straight day.
The eight-day event continues today with 115.3-mile road race from San Jose to Livermore.
The route will include the race's first substantial climb, an ascent of Mount Diablo about halfway through the stage.

Discussion in 'Disney Resorts' started by CanadianGuy, Apr 20, 2010.
What is the projected timing for full roll out of the new digital mugs/dispensers?
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
No one really knows. Disney has yet to make any announcements on the program, but the machines have been installed at POP, so it is starting to make its way into the resorts. The machines at POP have not been activated yet.
The machines have also been installed at All-Star Music. I used them in non-RFID mode.
I am sorry if this has already been asked. Are they just the regular soda dispensers?
They are similar to a regular set of soda dispensers, but they have a video screen and a little stand to place the cup/mug on for filling.
Hmm. I am guessing they'd have to get them all in place first before they do this? They really couldn't launch at one resort and not the others, right? Our trip is August 22-29
Well, actually, they could. If they launched it only at ASMusic, for example, then they could only charge the day specific pricing there and the regular pricing everywhere else. The mugs with chips could be used at other resorts, thus the minor advantage of multi-resort use. If someone bought their mug at, say, CB then it wouldn't work at ASMusic but they would have payed the old price (and probably weren't running over to ASMusic with a mug anyway.
The only case this might be trickier is if someone was doing a split stay with ASMusic as their second stay.
IMO between the absence of a regular food court at AS Sports and the fridges being moved around it might not be a bad idea if they would hold off a the rapid refill system a short bit since the mug traffic will likely be higher. The idea isn't so bad but the timing is not ideal if they really do start it as scheduled.
They are only installed at Pop and Music so far, right? I know they will eventually be everywhere, but so far just Pop and Music have them out?
I don't know, it seems like there would be a fairness issue if implemented at one resort one way and others a different way. I would bet, unless they do a test, they will wait until all of them are in place.
Well, I totally agree with you that it would be best if they wait until all resorts have them in place but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't.
I hope you're correct as I am already thinking it's going to be crowded on my ASMusic visit in a few weeks and things will likely go more smoothly without a change in the mug system at that time.
Pop and Music are the only places where we have reports.
Movies did not have the machines as of July 14th, but they very well could have been installed by now.
The original report on the RapidFill system specifically talked about the system starting at the All-Star resorts. Whether they would also be used in the temporary arcade setup at All-Star Sports will be interesting to see.
IMO it wouldn't be fair to Implement it at some resorts first, and them having to pay the much higher length of stay price, while other resorts have the old pricing.
So, I think they will wait till all the resorts are changed.
But what if someone bought a old mug, then halfway thru vacay they changed systems? Would family have to buy more mugs? Or would they exchange them for new ones?
I agree about the fairness issue and think they'll either wait until all are ready or charge old prices until all are ready. And, yes, I'll bet they'll swap out a just purchased old mug for a new one if they switch midway.
If you are getting a mug with your dining plan will it automatically be length of stay? Im thinking about our check out day we are not leaving until noon , do you think it will still be active? 19 days and counting till we arrive...
I think you can expect that the mugs included with the dining plan will be active to match whatever your stay is, including your check-out day.
Not sure we know that the system will be active for your trip -- where are you staying?
Thanks. We are staying at all star movies , so it looks like we may have a good chance of new rfid mugss?? I am a little worried since all star sports food court is being re done, it is going to be packed at movies and if the mugs have any glitches...fingers crossed , maybe we need a fast pass+ option to refill our mugs
Will we need the RFID chip to get ice at the machines? We usually bring our own PEPSI and use old mugs. We would need ice to make the Pepsi cold.
Ice and Water are Free...
Port Orleans Riverside is starting to receive these new machines as well.
No you won't need it for ice or water.
Since your dining credits are good until midnight of your check out day, I would assume the same would be true of the RFID mug.
Separate names with a comma.

A New York City woman had some unexpected roommates living in her apartment: 50,000 bees.
WABC-TV reports (http://7ny.tv/1whc4PZ ) beekeepers removed the swarm from Frieda Turkmenilli's ceiling this week after her neighbors in Queens alerted the building manager.
Turkmenilli says she saw only a few bees buzzing around over the last few weeks and never realized how many had taken up residence right above her head.
The beekeepers say the bees and the 17 honeycombs they built are headed to an upstate farm.

Comics Illustrator of the Week :: Jamie McKelvie
If I was creating a new super-hero team, or relaunching an old super-hero comic book, the person I'd first think of to design/re-design my character's costumes would be the great British artist Jamie McKelvie! He's the one behind the excellent new costume designs of Captain Marvel, AKA Carol Danvers, and the wildly popular new version of Ms. Marvel, AKA Kamala Khan.

Illustrator & Writer Lisa Congdon
This Art Crush entry has truly been a long time coming. I first came across Lisa Congdon by way of Meighan O'Toole's former art blog and podcast, My Love For You (which is post-worthy in its own right–it was an enormous source of inspiration for me during my college years). While I definitely gravitated to Lisa's work on a visual level, it was her personal story that drew me in. Freelance illustration had been her second career. She didn't start painting or making art until she was 31, and here she was, participating in museum-level shows, working with clients like Chronicle Books, and just being a genuine, successful badass. Lisa is not only someone I look up to artistically–she's also a prime example of a human being.
Lisa's art career was secondary, after she accumulated over a decade of experience in the education and nonprofit industries. By pure chance, she stumbled into a painting class and began making art of all kinds from that day forward–fueled by pure joy instead of the desire to succeed quickly. Having always been an avid collector, her random ephemera would find their way into countless collages as well as a series of photos, drawings and paintings that would eventually make up her A Collection A Day project. As she continued to develop her craft and share it with the ever-expanding Internet, people began to catch on. Today, she is an accomplished and prolific working artist, blogger, illustrator, public speaker and writer. Some of her most notable clients to date include The Land of Nod, The Museum of Modern Art, Harper Collins, 826 Valencia and Martha Stewart Living Magazine.
Lisa unabashedly tackles the subjects she is most passionate about, and that fearlessness is expressed effortlessly in the execution of her work. She describes herself as a "visual junkie," and is deeply inspired by patterns, travel, architecture and vintage packaging, just to name a few. A faithful blogger, Lisa writes about her own process in addition to other artists whom she admires, as well as her life "outside the studio," which includes swimming, biking, sewing, and traveling. In other words, she's just making all of us look bad! (I only kid.)
One of the reasons I relate to Lisa's work is due to the versatility and ever-evolving nature of her aesthetic. Certain characteristics like neon hues and her penchant for all things Scandinavian are mainstays, but she continues to branch out and explore all kinds of mediums (block printing and calligraphy, to name a few). These explorations fuel her work and expand her direction, which is most recently geared towards abstract painting. She's a wonderful example of why you don't need to narrow yourself down to one specific style (something I often grapple with).
Lisa is quite a unique artist in that she is not only a creator, but a mentor as well. Breaking into freelance illustration can be a challenging and solitary undertaking, and she continues to give her generous time to those who wish to pursue and learn more about the field through classes, speaking engagements and conferences around the country. I first met Lisa at her first Freelance Illustration class at Makeshift Society back in December 2012, and it was one of my most pivotal learning experiences to date.
Lisa recently released her new book, "Art, Inc.: The Essential Guide for Building Your Career as an Artist," which is a revolutionary and timely answer to the starving artist stereotype. It covers all areas of the freelance artist's domain, such as photographing fine art, finding printing services, copyright, and diversifying income. It sits on the shelf above my working desk (I like to call it my "VIP" shelf) as I reference it constantly.
On that same note, I'm very excited to be taking Lisa's "Become A Working Artist" class through CreativeLive next week! You can follow along with the class virtually by RSVPing here.

Natsko Seki: dynamic urban illustrations
Post by Heather Ryerson
Natsko Seki collages lively, saturated scenes of urban life from her own drawings and photographs. Begging to be explored, each illustration is populated with human activity and contains clues left by a moment in time that—if only yesterday—is now lost. Iconic architecture stands as a grandiose reminder that Seki's people are living in the shadows of history and are unknowing participants in the writing of their city's centuries. Seki's interest in architecture, fashion, and contemporary urban life has landed her commissions with Transport for London, Royal Historic Palaces, The Guardian, Bloomsbury, and Hermès. In 2013, Louis Vuitton published a book of Seki's London illustrations as part of their travel books collection. Seki grew up in Tokyo and studied illustration in Brighton, UK. She now lives in London.

"Designy Illustrator" Mikey Burton
Self-described "designy illustrator" Mikey Burton is a Philadelphia-based creative with a serious bear preoccupation. His professional work centers around editorial illustration, infographics, and identity design. He's also been bestowed with awards from ADC Young Guns, Communication Arts, & Graphis, some of the most prestigious organizations in the industry, and has worked with clients like The Atlantic, Converse, Facebook, Fast Company, and Wilco. Mikey values simplicity in principles of color and design, using minimalism and traditionally-inspired typography to an effective advantage. The understated elegance of his work is what secured his spot in the Art Crush Friday Hall of Fame.
Mikey's aesthetic is identified in the intersection between sharp, geometric vector designs and substantial, meaningful textures. I use the word meaningful not to be an art school asshole, but to say that the textures have strong purpose and intent in his work.
As I've learned more and more about graphic design, I've started to see the fork in the road that exists between flat and realistic design (this gorgeous Webby-winning site explains this very conundrum in further detail). As I mentioned earlier, Mikey's process allows real textures to shine through flat shapes, seemingly creating atmospheres within the simplest of flattened shapes. Interestingly enough, he's referenced his really old HP LaserJet printer as being the very tool that creates these fascinating textures. [More about his process here.]
Mikey swears by two things in particular before starting his design process: coffee and preliminary sketching. He's a refreshingly real person who needs to participate in real humany things before dragging along on the computer for hours on end. He will routinely post final work to his Dribbble account, modestly seeking feedback from the peers he so deeply respects. I admire his humility, honesty and continual hustle for meaningful work, even amidst his great successes thus far. For budding designers, here's some of Mikey's advice: create work that you want to be hired to do, and don't be a lame person to deal with.

Typographer & Font Designer Drew Melton
Ok, I'll save you the spiel about how deeply I've fallen in love with typography and lettering, as that should be fairly obvious by now. Drew Melton's work essentially speaks for itself. His deeply expressive fonts and lettering demonstrate the importance of hand-drawing into the design process. Even in the sharpest, finalized versions of his work, you'll a spontaneity that's unmistakably fun and energetic.
Drew is an L.A.-based graphic designer and typographer who's worked with clients like McCann, Nike, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Penguin Books. He's had quite the interesting journey to success in the lettering realm, some of which is marked by serious self-reflection and the ability to remain humble.
One of the things that hurled him into the design spotlight was his Phraseology project, started with a few other designers and developers in 2011. Very similar to Erik Marinovich'sFriends of Type blog, Phraseology offers the public a chance to submit any word or phrase to be designed by members of the team. Soon enough, Drew was being commissioned for some big-time typography work by notable clients.
Unfortunately, with that exciting attention also came some consequences. As much as I admire Drew's hand at lettering, I might be even more enamored with his grace and honesty about his past mistakes.
In January 2013, Drew bravely posted a public apology on his blog to several typographic designers, including Jessica Hische, Jon Contino, Dana Tanamachi, and Darren Booth, for drawing inspiration from their styles in ways that were not entirely "okay." He spoke openly about his guilt and sadness at realizing that his creative process had been built too closely upon the examples of his heroes, and that his heroes were now upset with him.
The topic of creative originality is probably one of the most sensitive. It's something that is constantly under debate and argued by strong opinions. I'm a strong believer that nothing is purely unique, especially in this day and age. It's the nature of craft and evolution to build upon an existing idea. But in an age when visual information is so widely accessible, when an illustrator or designer can essentially educate themselves by opening their web browser–it's up to the creative to draw the line between inspiration and imitation.
It's a testament to Drew's work ethic and passion for the art of typography that he was still able to gain success after this admission. Even while he struggled to define his style in the beginnings of his career, it's clear that he's succeeded.
Drew is now focusing on font development in addition to personal design and typography. Some of my favorite fonts of his are Lastra, Handsome, and Magnifique.
I highly recommend Drew's interview with the Australian Graphic Supply Company (a previous Art Crush feature), as well as his feature (along with this wife, stylist and co-creative Kelsey Zahn) on Rverie. Follow along with Drew here:

The Australian Graphic Supply Collective: Tuts and Type
In my journey towards becoming somewhat of a graphic designer, I've gone through many bouts of chocolate-fueled rage, cursing when I can't figure out how to line up my beziers correctly, or how exactly to create a seamless repeat pattern. Although there are loads of tutorials online, the Australia Graphic Supply Company is set to become the "square one" learning source for budding designers and typographers of all types (pun not intended).
Self-described "pixel-wranglers," Dave and Laura Coleman are a husband-and-wife team working out of Sydney, Australia, focusing on a wide range of visual services from photography and branding to illustration and tattoo design. While Laura mostly manages operations & finances, Dave handles the creative side of their shared business–and both of them share a serious passion for design, photography and lettering.
They host a selection of their own client work on their website, but the primary focus is on their community and growing tutorial section. What's neat to see is that their tutorial aesthetic matches up perfectly with that of their professional projects–the aim is clearly to give the viewer proper insight into the process of creating high-quality design and typography while simplifying the process down to layman's terms.
One of my favorite tutorials was Creating a Hand-Lettered Logotype from Beginning to End–I've included some screenshots and a video below.
Dave and Laura were briefly living and working abroad in Oviedo, Spain, but are now in the process of returning to their home base in Sydney. To follow along with their adventures, check out their travel blog.
I've also included a couple links to my other favorite tutorials below:
No Pain, No Grain (How to Create a Seamless Vector Wood Grain Pattern)
So What's the Big Deal with Horizontal & Vertical Bezier Handles Anyway?
I can't wait for more exciting tutorials and developments from the AGSC. Thanks so much to Dave and Laura for sharing their knowledge with us! Follow along with them on theirwebsite, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Designer and Typographer Kelly Thorn
In writing these Art Crush posts, I've found that I'm usually late to the party. Meaning, of course, that literally everyone else has known about these illustrators already before I stumbled across their work, since I'm probably an unhip grandma. But in this case, I'm kind of excited–Kelly Thorn is an up-and-coming junior designer at Louise Fili Ltd. and generally amazing typographer and illustrator, and she's already blossoming on the scene.
I stumbled upon Kelly Thorn's work by way of Friends of Type, a "typography sketchbook" of sorts started by Erik Marinovich and a few of his illo-designer buddies. Kelly's command of linework and her gorgeous color choices immediately drew me in. Her pieces demonstrate a solid understanding of design and composition, but still leave room for illustrative experimentation and expression. Lovely.
A 2012 graduate of Tyler School of Art's Graphic & Interactive Design program, Kelly now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
[collaboration with Dana Tanamachi for Nibblr]
You can follow along with Kelly on her website, Twitter, Dribbble, & Tumblr. I can't wait to see more of her work.

Brian Stauffer: a conceptual take on social issues
Posted by Heather Ryerson
Brian Stauffer uses a combination of sketching, painting, and digital collage to create editorial illustrations. Much of his work graces the pages of news and political publications like The New York Times, TIME, The New Yorker, The Nation, and Rolling Stone. His thought-provoking illustrations illuminate social issues and set the proper tone for their accompanying articles. Stauffer's work would not be out of place at a vintage propaganda poster gallery, but can be found instead at notable art museums and institutes.

Illustrator and Cartoonist Jillian Tamaki
Sometimes, you get stuck at a crossroads between two things you really love doing. For me, it's being an illustrator and a musician. Years ago, I thought that I'd eventually have to drop one to wholeheartedly pursue the other. I was never able to decide what I loved more, because although different in myriad ways, my love for playing/creating music and my love for creating art are completely equal in nature.
Jillian Tamaki is a bit of a kindred spirit in this sense, although hers is a tug-of-war between illustration and cartooning. She's been able to integrate both of these passions into an impressive creative career, having released two graphic novels with her cousin Mariko Tamaki and two books of personal work on her own–not to mention the plethora of illustration awards she's achieved. Her ever-growing client list includes the likes of The New York Times, National Geographic, Penguin Books, The New Yorker, and WIRED.
Jillian grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and went on to study illustration at the Alberta College of Art & Design. While she originally intended to focus on design, she fell in love with illustration and began freelancing after a brief stint at Bioware, a Canada-based video game company. She works both digitally and physically, showcasing her general badass brushwork and drafting skills in addition to embroidery (!!!).
Her creative process is impressively flexible, shifting between rapid-fire deadlines and long-term projects.
This One Summer and Skim, while not necessarily limited to the teen reading section, exemplify the Tamaki cousins' wish to expose more nuanced examples of teenage girls in literature ("not-slim, would-be Wiccan goth") and graphic novels/comics. They don't shy away from the heavy stuff–sexual identity, suicide, being a general loner. And perhaps there's no better way to tell the stories of these painful experiences than through Jillian Tamaki's gorgeous, expressive linework. Skim went on to win The New York Times' award for Best Illustrated Children's Book of 2008.
Jillian's exuberant, sarcastic personality is only complemented by her genuine desire to help others, especially in the creative community. She's provided a wealth of advice on her website in the FAQ section, and also welcomes questions on her blog.
You can follow along with her at her website, Twitter, blog, and Tumblr. She also runs a webcomic at Mutant Magic, which will soon be published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2015. Jillian also teaches illustration at School of Visual Arts.

Foundry Mission Information Request
Hey there!!
Does anyone know of any Foundry Missions that run like a good James Bond Film? In-depth plot, intrigue, action involving only the player character with no support, memorable villains, a very good Love Interest (bedroom scenes optional and probably really difficult to include, anyway), and epic Car Chase Analogs utilizing Small Craft?
If anyone knows of any Foundry Missions like that, and can point me in their general direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday urged members of Indian civil society to play an active role in promoting friendly ties between India and China. He was speaking after presenting the 'China-India Friendship Award' to nine persons here, including scholars Professor Manoranjan Mohanty and Professor Tan Chung and senior Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury, for their "invaluable contributions" towards strengthening cooperation between the two neighbours.
"I would urge the people of India to help in the growth of friendship between the two countries. In spite of all the difficulties, more and more people should come forward and be united for this cause … Our friendship lives forever," Mr. Wen said, recalling several instances of cooperation and friendship. Thanking Indians for their support and cooperation, particularly during the era of Chinese national liberation and development, Mr. Wen recalled the series of agreements signed between the two nations in 1954 — the five principles of peaceful coexistence or Panchsheel.
"As changes are taking place in global political and economic landscape, it is important [for us] to support and cooperate with each other. We are entering into modern times … we should support each other in nation building and development. We need to work hand in hand," he asserted.
The Chinese Premier also recalled the contributions made by Fa-Hien, who travelled across China to spread Buddhism, Dr. Dwarakanath Kotnis, who rendered medical service during the Chinese national liberation movement, and Rabindranath Tagore, who promoted literary and cultural ties. He paid special tributes to Mahatma Gandhi.
The awardees were from various fields such as business, academics, culture and media.
Professor Mohanty is a faculty member in the Council for Social Development and also Co-chairperson and Honorary Fellow in the Institute of Chinese Studies, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies; and Professor Tan Chung is a doyen of Chinese cultural studies in India for nearly half a century.
The others were Professor Sreemati Chakrabarti, who had written extensively on China on cultural and social issues; G. Viswanathan, founder-Chancellor of the VIT University, Vellore, Tamil Nadu; Chandrajit Banerjee, Director-General of the Confederation of Indian Industry; V. Bhaskaran, general secretary of the India-China Friendship Association, Karnataka, and Editor of India-China People's View; educationist B.S. Shergill, who is also president of the Friends of China Association, Chandigarh; and Pallavi Aiyar, who worked for two years as The-Hindu's correspondent in Beijing.
Thanking Mr. Wen on behalf of the awardees, Mr. Yechury highlighted the need for deeper cooperation between the world's two fastest growing economies. He expressed the hope that Mr. Wen's visit would prove a new milestone in India-China friendship.

Has anyone got them yet ?
they should have been ready for sale when buying the driver
and i don't mean to sound rude in anyway at all i love titleist that's just my thought on that
Understand ;) We are anxiously awaiting the cases, too!
Although the weight kits are backordered, the individual weights are available and will ship immediately.
Also, when you place your order for your 913, you can specify the weight and/or the swingweight (within our tolerance). There is no upcharge to do that.
Can we order the kits without the case? As I mess around with different shaft weights and lengths I want to be able to adjust the weights. Obviously its more expensive to order each weight individually. If we can how do we can order the full set without paying for each individually how can we go about ordereing these?

Handsome American actor Harry Hamlin studied his craft at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Hamlin made his film debut as a John Garfieldesque prizefighter in the 1930s spoof Movie, Movie (1978). Three years later, he played Perseus in the Ray Harryhausen co-produced Clash of the Titans (1981). Also appearing in this film was international sex symbol Ursula Andress, who became Hamlin's "constant companion" over the next few years, a liaison that resulted in a son. Even as his film career dwindled down to such forgettable fare as Blue Skies Again (1983), in which he played an immature Ted Turner type, Hamlin's career flourished on television. He starred in a 1979 TV miniseries adaptation of James T. Farrell's Studs Lonigan, played a courageous astronaut on the 1985 multi-episode production Space, and essayed the role of a straying politician in the 1988 two-parter Favorite Son. Hamlin's best-known TV assignment, which he launched in 1986, was the role of amorous litigation attorney Michael Kuzak on the popular NBC series L.A. Law. He is divorced from actress Nicollette Sheridan.
Hamlin continued to find steady work throughout the 90s, appearing on numerous TV shows such as The Outer Limits, Remember WENN, and The Nanny, and even providing voice work for Batman: The Animated Series. The actor also took roles in various films and TV movies like Allie & Me and Badge of Betrayal. After marrying soap actress Lisa Rinna in 1997, he entered the new millennium with no plans to slow down, reuniting with the L.A. Law cast in 2002 for L.A. Law: The Movie, and taking a recurring role on the TV show Veronica Mars as the movie star father of the character Logan. Interestingly enough, in an episode of the show Hamlin's character swears under oath that in 1987 he was People Magazine's Sexiest Man of the Year, and Hamlin was in fact given that very title that same year.
He returned to the small-screen to compete in the third season of the reality show Dancing With the Stars, and tried his hand at scripted series television yet again in 2009 with Harper's Island.

text: The Reprinted Material wiki last edited by pikahyper on 10/16/13 03:50AM View full history ConceptA reprint is a story that is republished at a later date in any form. A reprinted story in terms of continuity neither contains a new appearance for the characters, locations, concepts, objects or the creative team involved in producing the story.HistoryThough stories were reprinted sporadically during the Golden Age of Comics and early Silver Age of Comics, it wasn't until the 1960s that reprinted stories were being reissued mainly by DC Comics.DC ComicsGiant Size AnnualsThe first reprinted stories appeared in the early 1960s in .25 cent 80 page annuals such as: the Giant Superman Annuals and the Giant Batman Annuals.80 Page GiantsAfter discontinuing the Annual comics, DC continued the trend by dedicating a series to all reprinted materials called 80 Page Giants. The initial series lasted only 15 issues, but was continued as theme related issues in various popular DC titles such as: Action Comics, Batman, The Flash, Justice League of America, Our Army at War, the Superman Family of comics and World's Finest Comics. At times, the reprinted stories were altered by retitling the story or removing a page in order to fit in the issue. The 80 Page Giants were reduced to 64 Page Giants just over halfway through the series. The concept of the 80 / 64 Page Giants lasted for 89 issues. The giant sized comics were priced at .25 cents and besides the regular issue number of the comic it also contained the Giant designation such as G-73.Backup Story ReprintsAt the same time the 80 Page Giants were being issued, a reprinted story would appear as a backup story in a 32 page comic under headings such as a "Hall of Fame Classic" or "A Demand Classic". The reprinted stories sometimes added a different title, changed the wording in a lettering bubble or changed a panel or two.48 Page GiantsThe concept of reprinted stories carried on into the 1970s where the reprinted stories were backup features in a 48 page comic. These comics were priced at .25 cents and later raised to .35 cents.Theme-Related Reprint GiantsShort lived series such as DC Special and Super DC Giant which contain theme related reprinted stories such as "Strange Sports", "Romance" or "Westerns". Both series were 64 page comics priced at .25 cents.100 Page Super SpectacularsThe 1970s also saw the creation of 100 Page Super Spectaculars. As in the case of the 80 Page Giants, the 100 Page Super Spectaculars series ended, but the concept continued on various DC Comic titles. Some of these 100 page giants contained a combination of new and reprinted materials. The 100 page giants were originally priced at .50 cents and later raised to .60 cents.Tabloid-Sized ComicsA new format of comics was also issued as an over-sized tabloid comic. The series were titled Famous First Edition and Limited Collector Edition. These over-sized comics varied in page count from 56 pages to 80 pages. They were originally priced at $1.00 and later raised to $2.00.Digest-Sized ComicsReprinted stories continued into the 1980s with digest-sized comics called DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest and The Best of DC. These digest-sized comics were 100 pages and some issues were 144 pages in size. They were originally priced at $.95 and the larger sized issues were priced at $1.50.Reprinted Mini-SeriesDuring the 1980s various mini-series comics were produced which contained reprinted stories under such titles as: Green Lantern/Green Arrow, The Immortal Dr. Fate, Best of the Brave and the Bold and Wrath of the Spectre.Hardcover and Trade PaperbacksBy the late 1980s reprinted stories were being marketed in trade paperback and hardcover editions under the titles of The Greatest (Superman / Batman / Team-Up / Golden Age / Joker / 1950s) Stories Ever Told.DC Archives SeriesThe early 1990s also saw the birth of the DC Archives series, which reprinted a series of issues or stories in chronological order dedicated to a character or group on high stock paper with vibrant colors. Though there were some books where the materials were never recolored, the materials were photocopied giving them a dull and drab look (See The Golden Age Starman Archives #2).DC Silver Age ClassicsIn 1992, DC Comics released a short lived series called DC Silver Age Classics. The series produced reprints of ten famous Silver Age comics ranging from Martian Manhunter's first appearance in Detective Comics #225 to the Legion of Super-Heroes first appearance in Adventure Comics #247.Millennium EditionsIn honor of the new millennium, DC Comics produced exact duplicates of its most treasured or groundbreaking comics of all time. The reprinted issues mainly covered first appearances, first issues and groundbreaking materials (such as Millennium Edition: Crisis on Infinite Earths 1, Millennium Edition: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns or Millennium Edition: Watchmen 1).Theme-Based Trade PaperbacksThe reprint concept continued into the 2000s with theme based trade paperbacks such as the Greatest (Superman / Batman) Stories of the 1940s through 1980s, Diana Prince: Wonder Woman, Superman vs. Lex Luthor, or Batman: Secrets of the Batcave.Showcase PresentsDC continued their tradition of reprinted materials with an extra large trade paperback sized black and white series called Showcase Presents:. Unlike the DC Archives, which has mainly dedicated itself to Golden Age characters and popular Silver Age characters, the Showcase Presents: series has a more diverse range of characters from the Silver and Bronze Age of Comics and theme-related volumes such as Showcase Presents: House Of Mystery or Showcase Presents: Strange Adventures.Chronicles SeriesA Chronicles Series, which is based off of the DC Archives, reprints stories in chronological order in a trade paperback format. And, unlike the DC Archives which has three separate titles for Superman (Action Comics, Superman and World's Finest Comics) and Batman (Batman, Detective Comics and World's Finest Comics), the Chronicles Series combines all three (Superman, Batman) DC Archives series in order of release. Except for the error in The Superman Chronicles #8, which left out the Superman story from World's Finest Comics #5. Thus, making The Superman Chronicles series incomplete. The Chronicles series so far only covers the following characters from the Golden Age Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the Silver Age Green Lantern and The Flash.DC Comics Classics LibraryA hardcover reprint series dedicated to a particular theme such as: DC Comics Classics Library: Batman - The Annuals, DC Comics Classics Library: The Flash of Two Worlds or DC Comics Classics Library: Legion of Super-Heroes - The Life and Death of Ferro Lad.OmnibusNot as common as the regular sized hardcover editions, the omnibus is over 600 pages. The Green Lantern Omnibus for example contains the material from the first three Green Lantern Archives.Current ReprintsA vast majority of today's reprints are based off of recently issued storylines, short-lived comic series or dedicated to a particular writer or artist such as: DC Universe by Alan Moore, Batman: Illustrated by Neal Adams or Tales of the Batman: Gene Colan.Marvel Comics
