text: Sort type: [Top] [Newest]I kind of like this guy's take on a possible livery for AA... http://anthony-harding.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/L-AA1.jpg Not bad. Kept the eagle, AA combinaton in a nicely updated way. The gray paints kinda wander into United territory. I've always thought the American bare metal was way classy. (Somebody on this stream does raise the question of bare metal when American/USAir add 787s to the fleet, since the metal won't be there and carbon fiber isn't shiny...) I thought it was hard to tell...is it showing as gray, which I would strongly object to...or still staying good old silver, which made it stand out among all the others. I one time heard that the paint actually added significant weight (and more fuel consumption...is that true? I think that was from back in the Crandall days.... That rendering would have looked good! Much better than what was announced. Very nice. Modern with AA continuity. Why didn't AA pay this guy and save a bundle instead of the dreck that they paid big-bucks for? Yea, I agree with you. I personally don't like any of the new liveries anyone released, especially Iberia's new livery. I do, however, like that guy's take on a ne livery for American. IMO, the tail will take require some time to get used to. I think the widget near the front should have been repeated in large scale on the tail, instead of what looks like gift-wrap. Agree 100%, the two ends of the aircraft appear to be visually unbalanced. I can see where they are going with the tail end but they are attempting to "say" too much in a small area as opposed to the front which is just the opposite - minimalist feel. I was thinking that the logo should be on the tail, but then their design sorta looks like the flag. I can dig it. good idea! and less time to paint, and less paint You're right! they are gift wrapping their fleet for US Airways [This comment was deleted.] Let me try that again: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8187/8390570581_7d822af971.jpg That Rocks! You need to pitch this to AA before they paint any more of those awful tails. Get on it! I like that paint scheme! Mind you the rudder paint design is a modernized version of the paint job on some of pre- WWII U.S. Army Air Corps aircraft. You can check out DC-3 N47NL still flying by clicking on this link http://flightaware.com/photos/view/339156-d945ad5fa7e29824c6f772865e9362bd8eb91913/aircrafttype/DC3/sort/votes/page/8 That design rocks! You need to pitch your design to AA quick before they paint any more of those awful tails. Get on it! I love it! I really like this design... Like the one shown on the 737 alsobut, not as much as this one... Yuck! SO ugly! The new logo looks like the old tails on United Airlines and the bastardized American flag on the tail is almost offensive. I sure hope they didn't spend a lot of money on this mess, as a company in bankruptcy surely doesn't have the extra cash to waste. Mighr have been nice if they'd let all the aadvantage members see the top 5 logo change ideas and had US vote on it! I work at a small social service agency and we had to change not only our logo, but our name--and on a very limited budget it was a huge challenge. Almost every staff member had a different opinion and for every suggestion there were immediate rejections! Someone let Tommy Hilfiger into the hangars at Tulsa. Well, full marks for delivering on a striking new livery, but it's a bit too shocking for me - and it doesn't say 'American Airlines' to me anymore.. The eagle-flash logo looks cool. The tail treatment is an ugly mess. Embarrassing. Hope they didn't spend any money on it. The eagle-flash logo should be on the tail instead. What was American thinking. That is the worst livery they could have come up with. They should have incorporated all of their liveries. Let's hope if a merger takes place with US Airways, they'll keep the US Airways livery. I've always loved the red, white & blue stripe and don't agree with this new livery. That Eagle logo looks like Greyhound.....I guess AA is now the Greyhound of the skies!!! It kind of reminds me of BA's re branding to the flag that they did about 10 years ago... Greyhound should buy AA! Lol That was my first thought also. Question: based on the posted photo of the 737, it looks like the fuselages are now painted, although the video made it look like they kept the bare aluminum (say that fast three times) fuselage. Is the 737 just to show how it will look on the 787? And here I thought it was going to look like this . . . http://content.usairways.com/en-US/Resources/images/layout/hp_header_logo.gif As a 27 year employee of a competing carrier out of Atlanta, I have to say that I was always impressed that American Airlines didn't erase their heritage by modernizing their livery and branding to something new and unrecognizable. I guess now they'll just be like the rest of us. too bad and so sad. A new Image and a fresh start is what AA need. I wish them luck on the path forward I flew AA170. NRT- DFW on the 11th Jan 2013. First Class Flagship. Seat 1J. From the moment i entered the Cabin the flight attendant jan was most the most pleasant and customer service orientated FA I have ever met on AA. A credit to the airline. The whole trip was a pleasure. Thank you AA. Not feeling this at all...Proly grow on me. or; is it a pre merger setup ? well, they don't have much paint to remove and not much to apply..... I kinda' like it... like the logo, but dont think the livery is hideous in my opinion, dont treally think it fits, guess it will just take some time to get used to. Did that woman actually say "iconography?" Anyway . . . I concur with what Richard Garber said: "I'd keep the script and the stylized bird; drop the tail painting." For me, the tail art is waaaay too busy. The new logo on the nose, which I like, could be repeated on the tail. Regarding the possible merger: when America West rescued USAir, they conceded the USAir brand was more recognizable and used that livery; but they kept HP's "Cactus" call sign, an "AWE" flight number designator, and the America West corporate offices in Tempe, AZ. Like the old days. I believe there still are some terrific people working in the trenches at AA where I have always been treated well. If you treat the crew like human beings they are likely to return the favor. You paid pretty a penny so the last thing you expected was the bad treatment that AA hostesses and pursers normally provide to passengers riding Economy including cardboard tasting "meals" I don't understand. You have no money to pay pilots, flight attendants, or ground crew, but there is money to repaint aircraft. Everyone was forced to accept pay cuts, lose pensions and the airline has money to repaint the livery. I am confused. I know the CEO, COO etc gave up their salary and other million dollar perks. Exactly!!!! I dont understand this either....The US Banruptcy court should outlaw them doing this sort of thing when they cant even pay their bills... Well the main reason that they had to repaint the airplanes was due to the fact that they have a lot of orders for the 787. The 787 is a mainly carbon fiber composite airframe and not aluminum. Therefore, it would have cost AA more money to get a polished aluminum finish on the 787 than to paint all the airplanes a the current paint scheme. They could apply that greyish metallic paint to all of their current fleet..The same as Northwest did in their Final colour scheme with the stupid nwa titles on the side.... The airlines need to let airline enthusiasts design their colour schemes not some over paid nerd in an ed executive office...AA really screwed the pooch on this one!!! i cant wait till american becomes a better airline.i like there new logo a lot Oh, that was disappointing. I am underwhelmed. Worse than that, don't these people understand that about the most valuable thing that AA possess it their "brand"? By trashing their existing nice corporate symbals and liveries, they are throwing away billions of dollars worth of their branding. People will relate much less to these new ones than they now do to the traditional ones. Yes, that can change over time but WHY? Why? Why? "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I agree with Richard. I have graphic design experience and the new design is great except for that tail. (Duplicate Squawk Submitted) American Airlines Unveils New Look/Branding First photos on Jetphotos.net of new look on a Boeing 737-800. http://www.jetphotos.net/viewphoto.php?id=7541329 Saves paint, saves weight, increases payload. boy !! talk about ugly. I liked the A-Eagle-A symbol, especially because it goes back to the founding of the airline. They should have figured out a way to keep it. But whatever. I'll stick to Southwest, thank you. Now that I have seen an AA 737 in the new paint, I see what they are doing. The plane is painted overall light metallic silver, kind of like a Mercedes. I guess this is so there will be commonality with the new 787s. The 787s composites are naturally dark brownish-black. Not a problem with most airlines as most liveries use overall white with colorful graphics. I guess American didn't want to mess with the iconic unpainted look but is being forced by the 787 to paint. Metallic silver is the compromise Now, if they would do something with that ugly tail... I actually like it If it's so "American", wheres the real "American" flag,not some abstract? Doesn't every carrier "fly" their country flag on their planes? Honestly, I think it looks good! Will take time to recognize it at "American Airlines" but from a plane spotter standpoint, I can't wait to get a picture of the new livery! You know...when looking at the logo...it reminds me of "Bank of America"! Are they bailing them out of bancruptcy? I agree, if they could've modernized the orange lightening bolt cheatline somehow with an updated A eagle A.... would've been sweet!! Instead...this... blech That is appropriate. Riding on the airlines today is much like riding on a bus. they are both subsidized by the government....makes sense ME TOO!! LOL! That was my first thought . The actual flying flag is next to the registration number, can't miss it. I like the look, just having trouble swallowing the amount of money it takes to re-brand a company in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings and merger talks. Horton even mentions the merger in his spiel. A merger would almost certainly mean a new look which incorporates both airlines' branding. Is that pseudo-flag looking thing on the tail supposed to accomplish that? I think BA did a better job on their tail paint. AA leaves you wondering if that is the flag at all? Upon further inspection I say no. BA+ AA- Like another one said, it may grow on me. I still liked the Orange Lightening Bolts so you see it takes me a few decades to change. Yuck I think it's cool. They kept the legacy. Same typeface, same colors, a new version of the eagle. And they're staying with their legendary bright unpainted metal, which makes keeping the outside of the birds looking good a pretty simple deal (and saves hauling a few hundred pounds of paint around). If they merge, they'd have to re-decorate and re-brand anyway. If they don't, they needed to spiff things up a bit. Nice job, AA! They would not incorporate any part of US Airways into the name or brand. It has been clear since the beginning the 2 companies would do business as American Airlines and this livery pretty much confirms that. I like the look. I'm with you John. This logo looks what a AA/US combo will be w/minimal chgs. In a very abstract way, perhaps they are. US Airways has a "stylized flag" on the tail and it seems that in a bigger bolder way; so are they. I think this one will have to grow on me! Best AA paint job for me was the Astrojet theme. Will they incorporate any part of US Airways into the maintenance or baggage crew? I think they make make the lines less straight and more curved ("-" versus "~" for example)in keeping with the way that US Airways currently looks. It's just what I think though. I still don't think it's out of the question that the US Airways merger would see the American name placed onto the US AIrways livery. United and Northwest had both recently revised their brand prior to their respective mergers, albeit not quite this recently. So we have a company that is bankrupt, can't fund its pension promises made to its employees, screwed alot of its creditors and bond holders, and has a uniformly angry and surly pissed off employee group, but - they found the money to repaint airplanes and re-brand gate areas . . . . oy vey. Yet another act of rubbing its employees noses in the corporate muck . . . Re-organization bankruptcy is a joke. It is used as a business tool. You can't reorganize without screwing somebody out of their money. If you don't pay your obligations you don't deserve to be in business. The color of the interior looked pretty drab to me. ah...just saw this...so you belive it IS still silver and not painted gray?! And I was right about the weight! Thanks! I don't like it at all. I'm sure AA will take your opinion to heart and reconsider... Shouldn't the eagle have been replaced by a plucked chicken? Can anyone ID the music in that video? I love it. Think the new livery is an improvement, still not a big fan though very impressive, first look i wasn't sure but the tail and signage combo / decal soon won me over We all like the old AA livery but we're airplane dorks, not the general public whose butt cheeks need to fill the seats. It's not targeted at us. Changing graphics that have been around for several decades isn't throwing away your widely recognizable branding. Most companies roll out new graphics every few years to try and keep an image of a company that you should spend your money on. They can lose recognizability by messing with it too often, but I don't think one graphics overhaul in nine presidents qualifies as "too often" by anybody's standards. When done right, it'll get longer looks from 1) those who pay no attention and will be attracted to something more modern, and 2) those who will notice that there's new graphics and will look to see what else is new. In the end, it's not going to be the graphics that make or break the airline -- it'll be a price people want to pay for a product they want to buy. However they restructure, that's obviously the goal. Now, after seeing their final paint job, it looks like the tail colors are in the wrong order? It looks like blue,white&red? As for the US flag next to the "N"#'s, I need my glasses! The way they put American on the side,(without Airlines) and at least used a capital"A" looks clean. I myself would like to "AA" on the front in those colors,than those "Hash"marks, (Amtrack,Greyhound,and a couple other commercial company's have marks that look like that?!). Okay, now attack me for my thinking! Have a great and safe day. I like it. Doug Herman , dont forget , you can always paint crome. It wont be real but it will still have the shine Call me old fashioned, no thanks! I fly them a lot. New Livery but same old negative attitude on board. Bathrooms and planes in general dirty and shabby. Fix the people, fix the planes, then worry about the paint. "...on their new Boeing 777..." ....that's interesting, I just saw the new livery at LAX and it was a Boeing 737... ...on a scale from 0 to 10 I give it a 5...it's OK, but nothing more...the silvery fuselage is cool, but the tail design is...not at the level of sophistication I would have expected... I have always wanted to design an airline's livery but no one asks me...boo-hoo... : ( I'm glad to see that I am not the only person who doesn't care for the tail in AA's new livery. I first saw the new logo several weeks ago as an update to my iPhone/iPad app. My first reaction was "really neat!" Then I took their video tour which showed the complete airplane. My reaction turned to "mega ugly!" A third grader with an Etch-a-Sketch could have designed something better. The new eagle would have looked really good on the tail (clean and modern looking). notice the us air thin blue stripes, ..I think the merger is a good bet based on the paint scheme. I must admit, not crazy about the new design. I may be old fashioned, but I am still in love with the 50's and 60's "Astrojet" design with orange lightening strike on both sides, with orange accents on tail, engines, wings, etc. To me, that was one of the best ever, not just for American, but the best of all airlines, ever. This new scheme just don't look like American Airlines anymore. After the big reveal, my gut reaction was the same as many - I like the logo, the typeface but the tail on the livery is just a bit too bold. After letting it settle in, I have to say I like it. One thing is for sure, the entire brand really feels like a totally different airline. Even though a re branding is expensive, it also is a chance to re-invigorate the brand, the workforce and tighten the reigns on their revenue. Delta did the same thing and pretty successfully pulled off their re-brand in 2007 out of bankruptcy. AA has a new brand, a new image and very consistent messaging. The question is, can they pull it off. Can they successfully carry the spirit of the brand through the transition period. If not, it will feel really awkward. The logo looks like a mix between the Romney and Greyhound logos.. also if there are any nautical types on here, please tell me what that ensign on the tail means. Rather similar to the British Airways scheme, the alliance at work maybe? My real doubt is why they are spending vast amonts of cash on this repainting lark when they are bankrupt!!! okay nice that American Airlines is becoming newer I wish AmericanAirlines well, and all possible success..I hope the new logo/branding/livery results in a NEW attitude, also - I flew AA last September, from Ontario to Dayton, with a stopover in Dallas, and was underwhelmed with the service and the aircraft both ways. I prefer Southwest's vibe; although I jokingly call it "The Greyhound Of The Air", I've had overwhelmingly positive experiences with Southwest. hmmmm....not sure The tail looks similar to the old Colgan design! http://www.mynetbizz.com/pages/airlines/colgan-air/colgan-air-saab340.jpg LOVE IT!!! THAT IS COOL, LOVE AMERICA AND THE USA. I like it kicks ass (Duplicate Squawk Submitted) New American Airlines Livery Revealed Quoting the news release "It's a new year and a fresh new look for American Airlines as the company today unveils a new logo and exterior for its planes, including the already delivered Flagship Boeing 777-300ER aircraft set to fly on Jan. 31. In addition, American plans to continue taking delivery of new planes this year as part of its historic orders for 550 new aircraft. http://www.aa.com/i18n/amrcorp/newsroom/fp_aa_new_american.jsp?anchorLocation=NewsroomHomeBanner1&reportedTitle=AMERICAN%20AIRLINES%20DEBUTS%20NEW,%20MODERN%20LOOK&reportedPosition=0&url=undefined&_locale=en_US&repositoryName=undefined&repositoryId=undefined At least they have done away with body stripes,looks modern now "Hundreds of new planes on order". New planes, new paint, problems solved!! I hope they didn't actually pay someone to come up with that paint scheme. I find it very unattractive. However,regardless of how their planes are painted, American's success will depend on new ideas to improve their service and in making flying a pleasant experience for the public. It looks like Air France. Not original at all... Yawn. Looks like a design they will want to change again in a few years. He smiles a little too much, too. At least the teleprompter wasn't off to the side. (Duplicate Squawk Submitted) American Airlines AMR New Livery American Airlines new livery forthcoming... sort of Tommy Hilfiger-ish... mostly ish. http://www.tulsaworld.com/business/article.aspx?subjectid=585&articleid=20130117_585_0_Americ117451 I like it. Have never flown AA though. Guess they're planning on staying independent then? Terence, it's a inside job I'll bet? IMO the new design is a very nice look. The tail design IS just different, and yes it will get some used to. I however think that it will be fine, and people will indeed get used to it! I just want to agree with concord977. Logo on the tail is much more attractive than the "flag design". ...oh, and I won't be able to get used to new branding on the tail - it looks so outdated! Overall. it looks good but those two "slashes" in front,don't show the pride of "our flag"! They should at least put the real American flag there in it's place,(to show our pride)! There's absolutely no question that the merged company would be called American, but it still remains to be seen if the branding remains the same. The body logo with the eagle reminds me of the new BAW livery. I do wish that AAL had done something with the tail to make it less "blocky" and more "wavey," but that's just my opinion. (Duplicate Squawk Submitted) American Airlines new logo American Airlines on Thursday unveiled a new logo and plane exterior, the first fleet-wide rebranding since 1968. http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2013/01/17/american-airlines-unveils-new-logo/ It looks to me like the USAir logo has been incorporated into the tail colors, or is that reading too much into it? I can't say that I like it or dislike it, but it sure is different. It is another example of the disappearance of cheat lines on the fuselage, although AA's red, white, and blue lines look good on all of their aircraft. At least they kept the polished aluminum look, which is so iconic to AA. If what American wanted that their aircraft could be identified or recognized from the ground without much trouble I think that they would succeed. Just try to tell a US Air from a Delta or a United aircraft as they take off, won't be easy. It reminds me too much of Cubana. I am a little curious. I see the mostly aluminum and non paint areas on their video but on the National News (CBS) last night and this morning it was showing that metal in WHITE. Seems to me there was an article here several months ago that the new 777's were to be delivered in white. Can somebody clear this up? This is awful….now it is a really identifiable target! Probably the precursor to the merge! Alot of good ideas out there, well see their "final" paint job when we see it Maybe this was already in progress/paid for before the bankruptcy started? 100% Agree! Proud American Here! :) USA! USA! USA! Thought the same thing....the tail emblem resembles a lot like USAir's current flag logo. but delta had (has) a superior design / livery by far its grey composite on the newer a/c so they will paint the rest of the fleet for the first time in the History of American Airlines…….. Not the old livery... The new livery, design is nice. Everything from the boarding pass to the paint is nice. Lets see what AA can do. Now this IS getting confusing based on the other comments, because someone said they were staying silver. MUST STAY SILVER! Can they keep the polished aluminum look on their new 787's? How are they going to keep a polished aluminum look on a plane that's not made of aluminum? Remember when you were a kid in school and used to rub the tinfoil off your gum wrapper onto your desk with your fingernail? :D I like it. Bold, modern, has red white and blue. works for me. I like the new livery, however I believe the flag on the tail would have looked better with a more realistic flag, with the image of an American Bald Eagle superimposed over it (or with the eagle, in flight, toward the cockpit. With the graphic arts technology today, there is no reason why our beautiful flag should not appear to be waving :-/ The renderings of the 777-300ER look sharp.... but it looks a little flat in real life on the 737 flown in today. Overall I like it. Freshens everything up a bit. I wonder if they will bother doing the MD-80s ??? Have to concur with others... I think the merged company would be "American" as a perceived 'stronger' brand and fits in line with what Delta and United did (with all respect to Continental and NW) That new American Livery is kinda.....blah......maybe if they would have brought the flag off of the tail onto the fuselage and incorporated the stars it would look better. Two comments: 1) My immediate first thought when looking at the tail was "USAir." If I was creating a communications program anticipating a merger, I'd run as far away as possible from any USAir reference. Just too many bad memories there for far too many people. 2) Why does it take until 2 min, 40 seconds into this video to actually see the new branding? I'd keep the script and the stylized bird; drop the tail painting. AA should have updated their logo about 15 years ago. Just about every other airline has updated their look over the past 20 years while AA logo has been the same since 1968. It's nice, but too little, too late in my opinion. In the wake of the new United livery, this one actually looks really good. I like it! I can't wait to see their new colors in person. they look pretty good. I love it You must be joking me? Why resort to smoke and mirrors? Isn't your brand good enough as it is? Change is fine, but this kind of change, removes confidence, not adds to it, in the eyes of the customer. What it says is we can pay millions to some consulting company, instead of looking at the root causes of our problems and addressing them. Hint, I never purchased a package of cereal for the box, but what came in it. I never purchased a book based upon the cover, but the content. I never hired a service company based upon some new-age wacked out logo, but their reputation. And I have little respect for a company's leader who resorts to fakery in order to pursuade the consumer things are all better! Now we have two airlines whose livery includes stylized flags on aircraft tails. At least AA's is in color, as opposed to the weird blocky flag that USAirways has. They don't bother with the inside of the MD-80s, I don't reckon they'll bother with the outside of the MD-80s. And somewhere in all this hooplah about AA, I think there is another squawk that is basically a letter from Horton to the employess in which he makes a reference to "MY GOOD FRIEND DOUG PARKER". puke puke. That has got to be dripping with sarcasm or he is just hedging his bets. Of course, there are a lot of folks that don't like either one of them and they may be good friends, just trying to figure out how to divide it up, but I don't think so. WHAT A CROCK AS WORKERS AND PILOTS TAKE PAY CUTS AND THE US GOVT SIDES WITH AMR TO DESTROY THE PILOTS CONTRACTS THEY GO OUT AND PAINT AIRPLANES that's really nice very patriotic I love Okay, $22 billion in revenue, how do you divvy it all up... GO! clean,modern,not too busy. Looks Good! Love the new look....especially the tail! Good job AA A complete waste of $$. Changing the paint job has never resulted in inceased PAX loads nor does it enhance employee moral who largely see this waste as an insult! It demonstrates just how inept Horton and his management team are. They should have given those millions to the employee pension fund! We'll put Karl Kettler in charge, and it'll be the best-run airline in aviation history in less than fifteen minutes! Who cares? Do you buy tickets based on paint scheme ? Get real .. The paint job didn't get them to bankruptcy. Nice shot of a 737 on a beautiful Texas blue sky. More paint creates more weight! ...more fuel...higher ticket prices and employee concessions! I think it's a bad move for American. Everyone suffers on this one! Looks like they can finally afford to put a full coat of paint on the plane now. AA are one of my least favorite airlines to fly on. A new paint scheme won't change the surliness of the staff. (Duplicate Squawk Submitted) American unveils new 'soaring spirit' livery American Airlines has unveiled a new "soaring spirit" livery for its fleet, retiring the iconic eagle logo that has adorned its aircraft for more than four decades. The new branding includes a matte grey fuselage with a red and blue stylised "A" with the remnants of the eagle ahead of "American" written in large letters across the forward passenger windows and exit doors. The tail is a striped red, white and blue American flag. It drops the word "Airlines" from its aircraft with the livery. http://skylifeofficial.com/reality/2013/01/21/american-unveils-new-soaring-spirit-livery/ (Duplicate Squawk Submitted) American Airlines new livery This week, American Airlines revealed a bold new look for its fleet, retiring a design that hadn't changed since 1967. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2013-01-18/q-and-a-original-american-airlines-designer-massimo-vignelli-on-the-redesigned-logo |

About Alicia Keys
About Alicia Keys (Updated May 8, 2013)
Alicia Keys is a "Girl on Fire." Literally. At least that was the impression when the singer-songwriter, producer and actress rolled out the title and artwork to her fifth studio album, due out November 27. Calling the project an "evolution," Keys revealed the cover art on Facebook on August 23. The black and white image features the songstress in a Tom Ford dress and accessorized with jewelry from Bijules and Love Rocks (among others). Her pose also suggests a confident artist ready to reclaim her spot at the top of the music charts.
Often referred to as an "overnight sensation," Keys took the music world by storm when her 2001 debut album, "Songs in A Minor," sold more than 50,000 copies during its first day of release and eventually moved more than ten million units worldwide. It was an impressive start for the woman born Alicia Augello Cook and would adopt the stage name of Alicia Keys when she inked her first record deal.
Finding an ally in Clive Davis was Keys' initial step to success, and when she moved from Columbia Records to Davis' J Records behind a large-scale publicity campaign, she found herself taking interviews on Oprah's couch and ultimately netting five Grammys for her freshman album. It guaranteed the successful launch of her sophomore effort, "The Diary of Alicia Keys," and spawned a poetry book and a live CD/DVD package, "Unplugged."
Keys' focus shifted when she starred in the TV series Charmed, then made the jump to the silver screen to appear in films like Smokin' Aces, The Nanny Diaries and The Secret Life of Bees. Her third studio album, "As I Am," was released in 2007 and sold six million copies worldwide, while her fourth, "The Element of Freedom," became Keys' first chart-topper in the United Kingdom.
Before "Girl on Fire" dropped in November 2012, Keys appeared at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on September 6 and at Kaufmann Concert Hall in New York City on September 10. Fast forward into 2013, and she was named as the Global Creative Director at the Blackberry 10 Experience event in New York City on January 30. And four days later, she opened Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans by singing the National Anthem.
Outside of music, Keys has made a name for herself as a philanthropist and AIDS advocate. Her latest initiative is a campaign aimed at reaching out specifically to American women. It's called "Empowered" and will provide community-based grants of up to $25,000 for programs focused on women as a way to open up meaningful dialogue about HIV in this country.
Keys is currently touring Europe, with shows scheduled through June.

Bump in the Night Triggers Lights On
A "panic" button near the bed is a favorite of most owners of automated homes.
I've visited many high-tech homes over the years, and one element that seems to resonate with all types of families is a "panic" button by the bedside. If you've invested, or are ready to invest, in a control system, it's a feature you'll be sure to appreciate too.
Added to a keypad or touchscreen, a panic button or icon can illicit any number of different reactions. For example, when pressed, it can signal all of the lights inside and outside the house to activate, or maybe just all of the lights on the exterior. It's completely your choice, as the buttons of a control system can be programmed to do just about anything you like. As for the button, it doesn't have to be labeled "panic." You can call it "bump in the night," "what's that noise," or "help"…whatever makes sense.
Are you itching to build a home automation system? Expert guidance is FREE in this special report, Smart Home Systems: Expert Guide to Home Automation, Smart Home Products & More.
It's a fairly common practice to have the light snap on in an "emergency," but there are other tactics you can take. And you'll just need to press that one button by your bedroom nightstand:
• Verbal Warning: If you already have speakers outside … or even inside, have them broadcast a loud warning to "leave the premises," or something equally stern and foreboding (maybe a recording of a barking dog). Even just playing music might be enough to scare the trespassers away.
• Alarm: A simple alarm aimed at the backyard is always an effective scare-tactic.
• Pathway: If you'd like to see what's happening outside, have the system light a dim pathway from your bedroom to the room with the best view. Do the same for the kids – their "panic" buttons could light a path from their bedrooms to yours.
• Open and Shut: In most cases, if a trespasser thinks you are home, he'll leave. Have the panic button command the shades, the garage door—anything that's motorized and can be seen from the exterior—to open and close. Or, if provides a sense of security, have the drapes and shades close.
• Surveillance: Have the control system activate your bedroom TV and transmit images from your home's surveillance cameras directly to the TV.
• Security Sweep: You've probably armed the security system before bedtime … or did you? The panic button can initiate a sweep throughout the house to make sure everything is armed and watching.

Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller's Office Orders Henderson Firm to Cease Suspected Fraudulent Activities
Posted Date:
Securities Division Wants to Hear From Possible Victims
(Carson City, NV – September 10, 2009) – Criminal Investigators with Secretary of State Ross Miller's Las Vegas Securities Division have served a Cease and Desist Order on Scott R. Tischler, a managing member of Heritage Capital Partners Fund, LLC. Tischler is suspected of securities fraud, sale of unregistered securities, and sale of securities without a license in connection with selling investments in a gas and oil drilling project through another company, Heritage Oil and Gas, LLC. Both companies list a Green Valley Parkway address in Henderson.
Investigators say Tischler, and co-manager James P. McKeon, started advertising for investors on the Heritage Capital website as early as October of 2008. They offered portfolio management of a variety of investments, including equity investments in minerals, energy, precious metals, and real estate. Secretary Miller's office would like to hear from anyone who might have invested with Tischler, McKeon, Heritage Oil and Gar or Heritage Capital Partners.
"It's vital in cases like these that potential victims come forward," said Secretary Miller. "We know this company is not licensed and the product they're selling is not registered. That means other investors may be victims of a fraudulent scheme. In order to put guys like these out of business, we need people to come forward and share the information they have."
Tischler allegedly accepted at least $60,000 in investor money for shares in a Wyoming oil and gas drilling project. He promised eventual returns of $300,000 a month if the investments continued. He also claimed to have diamond ventures in Africa. Anyone who may have given money to Tischler, McKeon, or their firms is asked to call Criminal Investigator John Arana at the Secretary of State's Securities Division at 702-486-2440.

Forbidden Words (NGワード, Enujī Wādo) is episode 269 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
At the Allied Shinobi Forces' Headquarters, a visibly anxious A discusses the history of the Gold and Silver Brothers with Tsunade. At the coastline of the Land of Lightning, Darui, who is now joined by Samui and Atsui, face Kinkaku and Ginkaku who reveal their weapons of choice to be the Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths. Right off the bat, Atsui launches an assault against the White Zetsu Army clones and then rushes to attack the brothers, but Kinkaku hits him with his Kōkinjō: a cursing rope. Samui also charges in after her brother, but gets hit by the Kōkinjō as well. Ginkaku severs their soul words using the Shichiseiken: a sword that displays their most used word after it severs the word soul. Atsui accidentally mentions his forbidden word "hot" and gets sucked into the Benihisago. Darui, taking on the brothers, gets hit by the Kōkinjō after severing Kinkaku's arm. Samui is also sucked to the Benihisago, despite never uttering her forbidden word. Darui figures out his forbidden word and concludes he can neither stay quiet for too long either as Samui had done. Ginkaku then states that trickery and betrayal are tactics of a shinobi claiming Darui to be merely a pawn to the Raikage. Darui recalls his conversation with the Raikage as he was worried about the lost of the Raikage's left arm. A then states that he has two arms anyway, his and Darui. Full of resolve, Darui answers back to the brothers that he is the right hand man of the Raikage, not just merely a pawn. However Darui's speech accidentally causes him to say his most uttered word "dull" and began being sucked into the Benihisago. Due to his constant apologies just as he was about to be fully sucked in, he evades the sealing as his most-uttered word "dull" changes to his second most-uttered word "sorry" and he attacks Ginkaku, forcing him to evade the attack and accidentally hit Kinkaku's Kōkinjō. Now taking the opportunity, Darui commandeers the Shichiseiken and the Benihisago, and manages to seal Ginkaku after he speaks his most-uttered word, "Kinkaku". Infurated by the loss of his brother, Kinkaku transforms into his six-tailed jinchūriki form and begins his rampage on the First Division.
- Kinkaku and Ginkaku were both seen with whisker-like marking on their faces before they were consumed by Kurama despite the fact that these were gained through the influence of the fox.

"The definition of a successful person is simply an ordinary person with extraordinary determination. You cannot keep a determined person from success. If you place stumbling blocks in her way, she will take them for stepping-stones and will use them to climb to new heights. The one who succeeds has a goal, a dream, and makes her plans and follows them." ~ Mary Kay Ash

Top Definition
Deathanol is ethanol, or ethyl alcohol(alcohol, "drinking alcohol"). It's a very harmful substance that is commonly found in alcoholic beverages. Prolonged use can cause damage to the heart, liver, and stomach. It can also cause brain damage. Deathanol is responsible for over 80,000 deaths per year. It's more harmful than ecstacy, lsd, ghb, and research chemicals and semi-synthetics. It's produced by fermentation, and is one of the most commonly used lab solvent/chemical. Deathanol has a higher NFPA 704 than 2-methyl-2-butanol (a somewhat less used lab solvent, but still common in laboratories. Intense or continued but not chronic exposure to ethanol(Deathanol) could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury according to the NFPA 704. Exposure to 2-methyl-2-butanol would cause irritation with only minor residual injury. Ethanol(Deathanol, alcohol) causes increase in violence, loss of coordination, and impaired memory and judgement during the course of it's effects. Ethanol(Deathanol) is a depressant, but at low doses causes lower inhibitions and sociability, accompanied by impaired judgement and mild loss of coordination. Toxic metabolites are usually produced by consumption of ethyl alcohol (deathyl alcohol, deathanol). Over time, continual use can cause erratic behavior, damage to the brain(especially the prefrontal cortex), and addiction.
Ethanol is Deathanol!

A fuel made from corn used to displace gasoline usage and excessive oil importation from hostile countries. The corn used to produce Deathanol is not used for its traditional uses such as foreign food aide for underdeveloped countries. The end result is the trading of oil for human life.
My Hummer gets 10 miles per Ethiopian, and filling up with Deathanol is cheap!

Stop the run, stop the bleeding?
I'm in a myopic mood so let's get specific: beating the Arizona Cardinals means beating their defense. And the plan to beating Ray Horton's X-Men has been to run the football, run it well and run it often.
Running the football takes a toll on quick, athletic fronts like you find in Big Red's box defenders. Other than Dan Williams, who's built like a Dumpster but has eyebrows, the Cardinals are light and slight up front. Calais Campbell is long and lean. Darnell Dockett is quick, explosive, athletic, but is not considered a prototypical run-stuffer. O'Brien Schofield (who was playing when this defense was rolling) and Sam Acho have great motors and play to the ground with blood under their nails but are undersized at the OLB positions in today's 3-4 scheme. Although Paris Lenon is the grandmaster-guru of destruction and generalship and Daryl Washington is one of the best football players this side of the moon, they both are light in the pants for playing inside the tackle box.
These men have played extremely well and are still considered one of the better defenses in the league. But teams have figured out how they want to attack the X-Men and their fluid, athletic fronts. In all games the Cardinals have lost, opposing offenses have had the luxury of playing with leads in the first-half of the game and into the second half. And most of these leads have developed because teams ran the ball well enough to stay balanced, move the ball and use the power of play-action to confound Horton's scheming.
It started against the Rams, October 4. After getting torched by Ryan Tannehill and the Miami Dolphins for 417 passing yards the week before, the Rams had a different plan of attack against the Cardinals defense. Sam Bradford only threw the ball 21 times (completing 7) and they handed the ball off to a RB 27 times. Steven Jackson & Co. averaged over four yards a carry and allowed the Rams to stay balanced. Although they only scored 17 points, the Rams won the game and that game marked the beginning of woes for Arizona.
Buffalo tried the same thing: run the ball, attack the Cardinals front seven, stay balanced. The Bills threw the ball 32 times and ran it, where they handed it off to a running back, 28 times. They gained 141 yards, averaged over five yards per carry and scored two rushing touchdowns. Although many other factors weighed into the outcome of this game, the plan was sound and the Bills won the game in OT.
Minnesota threw it 18 times and ran it on 26 occasions for 164 yards, averaging over six yards per carry. And the Cards lost again. And a trend was forming.
San Francisco threw the ball 19 times and ran it 28 times and Alex Smith used play-action to near perfection, completing 18 of those passing attempts and three touchdowns. The Cards were soundly defeated by the 49ers and the trend of how you beat the Cardinals, generally, and how you beat Big Red's defense, specifically, had become a pattern.
The Packers were looking for a running game all season but had been struggling to find one -- until they played the Cardinals. Like the others, Green Bay ran the ball more than they threw it. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers were balanced, used play-action and ran the ball between the tackles. Green Bay amassed 143 yards rushing against the X-Men when they were in the bottom third of the league in rushing, averaging under 100 yards per game.
And so it goes� Atlanta isn't great at running the ball and only averages 24 attempts per game. Expect that number to rise on Sunday.
There are many variables that have come into play and have contributed to the outcome of games during this losing streak for Arizona. But it appears obvious the word is out on how you beat Ray Horton's defense and, in so doing, beat the Cardinals and their struggling offense.
These thoughts and words are not meant to be the spiny, ruddy finger of blame, pointing at the defense. Other than the last two games, the defense has played exceptionally well. But the burden of greatness is carried with the yoke of responsibility and the Cardinals defense is this team's beast of burden.
Fair or unfair, like it or not, offenses are trying to put the Cardinals front seven in a phone-booth, where there's only one way out: fists first. Lets hope Big Red brings their brass knuckles to Hotlanta.

Who makes a better match? Like me, or unlike me?
Do you think Catholics who are alike or different in their hobbies, interests, occupations, and personality type, are a better match or those who are more different from each other.
For me, these are the aspects that seemingly should be similar:
-Slant on the faith, conservative or liberal
-Political outlook
-Approach toward having children

5 unconventional picket fences
By Chaya Kurtz, Networx
White picket pallet fence: Hometalk member Allison House turned ordinary pallets into fence pickets (white, natch). It's a down-home DIY take on a classic style.
An arbor elevates a white picket fence: A Saint Joseph, Missouri contractor transformed an ordinary white picket fence to an extraordinary white picket fence with the addition of a seriously substantial arbor.
Add a bold gate in a contrasting color: A funky gate in a bold, contrasting color adds personality to a white picket fence. Hire a pro painter or do it yourself!
Turm a white picket fence into a potting bench: Blogger Homeroad upped the ante when it comes to white picket fence whimsy by building a white picket fence potting bench.
Harness the power of flowers: Hydrangeas peek out from inside Miss Flibbertygibbet's fence. The bright colors or thickly planted flowers make even the most prim and proper white picket fence look romantic and fun.

Out of curiosity I grabbed it off of the AUR. It's a nice looking app, as I'd expect from Yorba. It feels a lot like Geary did when it first came out -- not very feature-rich, but lots of potential. And look at Geary now, probably the best overall mail program on Linux. They've definitely got a nice focus on design that you only really see among OSX developers these days.
I'm hopeful for them to support webdav, as I have my ownCloud calenders that I like to keep in sync between all of my devices.

The Vanishing Small Farmer
January 9, 2007 | Posted by Peter Barnes under Archive, Progress Report, The Progress Report |
In-Depth Essay
The Case for Redistribution
by Peter Barnes
Part One
It's hard for people in cities to appreciate the need for land reform in the United States. Most of us have been so cut off from the land that, through ignorance, we accept present landholding patterns as desirable or inevitable. They are neither.
What are the advantages of giving land to the few instead of the many? Efficiency is supposed to be the main one: big farms, we're told by agribusiness spokesmen, can produce more food at less cost and thus save the consumer money. That same thinking underlies Soviet collectives. What's overlooked is that in societies where tractors are relatively inexpensive to own or rent, economies of scale contribute to agricultural abundance only marginally. Beyond a certain point, there's nothing gained by having one vast farm in place of several smaller ones. In fact, small farms are often more productive per acre because their owners work harder and take better care of the soil.
Large farms in America are efficient at some things -they excell at tapping the federal Treasury and exploiting hired labor. Take away these privileges and the small farmer looks extremely good. As for saving the consumer money, the chief reason food prices have remained relatively low is not large-scale efficiency -it is intense competition. Allow a handful of agribusiness giants to gain control of the market and prices will assuredly rise a lot more than they have.
There is, furthermore, the question of how much efficiency, and what kind, is desirable. American agriculture is, if anything, too efficient; its chronic problem is not underproduction but surpluses; it is the only industry where people are paid not to produce. The argument that ever-increasing agricultural efficiency is a desirable national goal is, therefore, unsound. More-over, what kind of efficiency are we talking about? When a large grower increases his profit margin by replacing farmworkers with a fancy new machine, he's not doing anybody but himself a favor. The farm-workers, now unemployed, drift to already overcrowded cities, where no jobs await them either. Welfare rolls and social tensions rise – transferring to society at large the ultimate cost of "efficiency" on the large farm.
If the advantages of large landholdings (except to those who own them) are scant, the harmful effects are legion. Several have already been noted: the impoverishment of millions of rural families, and the migration to cities of millions more, with little education or hope of improvement. We expect poor Americans to lift themselves up the economic ladder, yet by cutting them off from productive land ownership we knock out the bottom rungs.
The vitality of community life in rural America has also suffered because of maldistributed land. Main Street businesses are not appreciably aided by large absentee landowners who purchase their supplies in distant cities, or by underpaid migrants who buy nothing, or by sharecroppers forced to shop at the company store. A study in the 1940s by Walter Gold- schmidt, a California sociologist, found that communities in small-farm areas have a more sizable middle class, more stable income patterns, better schools and more active civic groups than do communities where large landholdings predominate. A recent incident in Mendota, Caiifornia – a town surrounded by large farms – helps explain why. A group of citizens wanted to establish a special taxing district for construction of a hospital, the nearest one being 40 miles away. Three agribusiness giants that owned more than half the land in the proposed district opposed the plan, and killed it. Two of the companies were based in other California cities, and the third – Anderson Clayton -was headquartered in Houston.
Protection of the environment also tends to be less of a concern to large corporations – who've been despoiling the American landscape for the better part of two centuries – than to small farmers who live on their land. Companies farming for tax or speculative reasons, for example, seek to maximize earnings over the short run. They can milk the soil, deplete the underground water supply or poison the land with pesticides, knowing full well that they will eventually sell. Resident farmers who hope to pass on their land to their offspring cannot be so careless with nature's gifts. Moreover, small-scale farming lends itself much more readily than does large-scale monoculture to biological pest control – a technique that must increasingly be adopted if we are to avoid ecological disaster.
