Go Itami is by no means the only photographer who is seemingly unable to cease taking appreciative photos of strange elements in his surroundings and his beautiful girlfriend, but there is a certain unbridled purity and cleanliness to his photos that is a rare, and pleasing joy to behold. When browsing his portfolio, the odd mix of private images evokes an almost timid feeling of snooping.
Kai Nodland's illustrations are of the mystic persuasion. They have no little amount of charm with their intensively detailed, symbol-rich, cosmic-like compositions. They are also wonderful feats in mark making and exploration of media – from sketches to paintings the level of detail is a signifier of the artist's evanescent imagination and wonder.
Peter Crawley's a product designer, who also makes beautifully stitch-tastic graphic work on the side. We featured him on the site back in 2011, and his work – largely made using white watercolour paper, needles, and thread – has continued to go from strength to strength. Order Chaos is a recently hand-stitched project, the underlying concept of which will be extremely familiar to anyone who's ever worked with a sewing box. With the letterforms themselves illustrating the meaning of each opposing word, we see neatly and evenly stitched lines juxtaposed with an absolute tangle of cotton and colour.
We were pretty sure it was coming, we just didn't know what form it might take. But in the Olympic battle to grab consumers' attention during the London Games, Nike have released this Find Your Greatness spot in an attempt to ambush the multi-million pound sponsorship deal their great rivals Adidas secured. There's no express mention of the games or the proscribed buzzwords non-partners are being banned from using, and it is filmed in locations called London across the globe, from the USA to South Africa. Due to be released in 25 countries at the same time as the Opening Ceremony takes place, it's cheeky, clever and boasts trademark production values – the question is whether it will survive the draconian commercial rules imposed around the event.
Relays are fun aren't they – the combination of team and individual, the frisson of terror when the baton slips from someone's grasp and that moment when one team just puts a really fast guy/girl at the end and romps home to victory from well back in the field. So it's great news that our friends up at KK Outlet are harnessing this pleasure in a cultural context with their new show Art Relay.
It's searingly hot outside our studio this morning – the sun's beating down on the brickwork and creating a stifling atmosphere within these four walls that's causing beads of perspiration to appear on foreheads and bare legs to stick uncomfortably to soft furnishings. Finally summer is here! So we can gripe about the heat in the same way we've griped about the rain for the past month.
There's a lesson here for all of us – if you think of something hilarious, make it into an animation immediately, because I guarantee that this short animation by Amael and Leo (in association with Beakus studio) is going to make you laugh, nay hold your attention, for longer than the actual Olympic games ever will. One of the best things about this short film is perhaps the brutal honesty at which Leo and Amael have conveyed the sheer amount of litter and chicken boxes present all over the streets and riverbanks of London. The other best bit? The expression on the face of the rat gormlessly holding up the fag-end – beautiful!
We are thrilled to announce that the multitalented and hugely influential British designer Thomas Heatherwick will be delivering the closing keynote talk of Here, our one-day symposium. He will join a stellar line-up of over a dozen brilliant creatives from the UK and abroad speaking about their practice and process, as well as sharing their insights and expertise, in our biggest event to date.
Paris-based illustrator Guy-Pascal Vallez, also known as GAX, presents us with a host of surreal characters inhabiting all sorts of otherworldly space. Cloaked and occasionally masked, they are packed into dense medieval-style cities in huge numbers, or exist as sole occupants of dauntingly expansive landscapes.
You'll doubtless be surprised to discover that The Book Cover Archive is an online archive of book covers and their designers. Tighten your slackened jaw, there's more – the archive can be searched according to designer, title, author, photographer, illustrator, publisher, typeface and a handful of other taxonomic categories. The site is currently in its BETA stage and creators Ben Pieratt and Eric Jacobsen are welcoming the advice and suggestions of users as to how they might diversify and improve the usability and functionality of the archive. So break free from your laptop, gather your favourite dust jackets and then get straight back to that laptop to find out who it was that put together that Pride and Prejudice and Zombies cover you love so dearly and exactly what font they used on Zadie Smith's White Teeth (it's Trade Gothic).
Maybe it's just us, but in the race to release creative projects that strike a chord with the Olympic Games, it's photographers who seem to be making most of the early running. Whether it's contemporary portraits of competitors from the 1948 games, documenting London's local sports scenes or just terrific action shots of athletes we've already been mighty impressed with the work on offer.
Will x-ray pictures ever not be fascinating? Steve Miller takes familiar high-fashion items and subjects them to this trusted mode of invasive scrutiny, revealing some uncommon contents that make curious and aesthetic arrangements. These images, part of a series called Fashion Animals that also looks through the bodies of Brazilian creatures therefore comparing them to the exotic contrivance of a handbag or shoes, asks abstract questions about the superficiality of manufactured objects in graphically iconic fashion (no pun intended).
In the same way Commissioner Gordon can summon Batman using the Bat-Signal, we need a way of summoning Cassetteboy. Perhaps we could project an old C-90 tape into the sky above London every time an event comes to dominate public discourse and we all agree it needs its pomposity puncturing. Actually maybe we don't need to call him, because he seems to step up just when he's needed. With Olympic fever now ratcheting up Cassetteboy has just released his newest work – a spliced-up selection of London Mayor Boris Johnson welcoming visitors to London 2012, in a, well, alternative way. Dark in places, silly throughout, the "fluff-headed loon" makes for a perfect subject for Cassetteboy's skills. And the final slogan: "Get some burgers or you'll get eaten by bears" should definitely be adopted as the unofficial Games slogan. Cassetteboy, sir, we salute you, and we need you…
We're pretty keen on the work of Aussie designers A Friend of Mine; their holistic approach to design has been yielding consistently great results for almost three years now and spans a range of disciplines, taking in retail design, branding, web design and even the occasional spot of weaving. It's an admirable quality in a studio to approach each project with fresh eyes and an open approach to new media.
It's no great revelation to state that public art can be fairly hit and miss but kudos to The Standard Hotel in New York who have shown exactly how you go about it. 1. Pick someone brilliant, like Erwin Wurm. 2. Let that someone brilliant do what they do best. 3. Stick the piece on show and wait for the plaudits to roll in. Unveiled yesterday, Big Kastenmann (translated as Big Boxman) is an 18-foot high headless aluminium surrealist sculpture, part-coated in dripping pink enamel paint. It's actually a giant version of one of the artist's pieces from 2010 but on this scale and in such a busy location, it takes on a whole new meaning, like a freeze-frame from a deliciously whimsical disaster movie.
Paris-based photographer Léo Caillard has captured the beach huts of Miami with such vibrancy that we wish we could enter the images and hang out there for hours, paddling in the waters and lounging around on the sand. C'mon, Mary Poppins effect – London's getting a bit hot these days!
Lilli Carré has all bases covered with her hugely applicable illustrative stylings. From editorial spots for top US magazines and papers (The Believer, The New Yorker, Best American Nonrequired Reading… you get my drift) to works on paper that begin to leave the page (literally) and a panoply of mini-narratives, from ten second loops of moving drawings to ingeniously crafted cartoons and animations, comics and graphic novels.
Back in 2009, Job Wouters and his brother Roel took part in It's Nice That's If You Could Collaborate exhibition, creating what would be one of the most memorable, and covetable, pieces on display, The Rainbowgun. Well-loved, and highly regarded worldwide as one of the most innovative contemporary typographers working today, Job Wouters has now teamed up with Gestalten to compile all of his work into one big book and despite the difficulties of squeezing on to pages works that can range from minuscule floor murals to enormous wall paintings, they've carried it off. The reckless abandon with which Job approaches hand-lettering and typography is demonstrated throughout the book, from the fabric designs he co-created for Dries van Noten to the piles of different papers covered in magnificent, off-the-cuff calligraphy.
Pernilla & Asif are used to creating some pretty mindbending experiences (room full of clouds anyone?) and the duo's latest work, the Coca Cola Beatbox is predictably eye-catching. Situated in the Olympic Park, it's described as "an experimental fusion of architecture, sport, music and technology that creates a stunning multi-sensory experience" and comprises 200 interlocked translucent air cushions. Visitors can "play" the different cushions through their gestures and movement and this remixes the Mark Ronson track which uses samples of five Olympic sports (whose creation was memorably captured in Kim Gehrig's excellent documentary Beat).
So you find yourself milling around at an executive event, let's call it the launch of some kind of incredibly niche but dangerously cool digital product; there's hotshots everywhere and the air is pregnant with the smell of champagne. You're a jobbing young designer ravenous with ambition, and what's this, you're being approached by the editor of London's most chic magazine. You exchange pleasantries and it turns out he's seen your portfolio, he's keen on your work and yes, he probably wants to employ you. At the end of the conversation he hands you his business card and you freeze. All you've got is a chewed biro and crinkled old post-it note in your pocket onto which you crudely scratch your telephone number before handing it over sheepishly. He will never, ever call you.
Cast aside any, I mean any preconceptions you had about collages and take a look at these. When confused at why James had labelled this series of quiet, human-less photographs "collages", we immediately wanted to get to the bottom of it and so asked him what on earth was going on. He reassured us that they were, in fact, collages, and that each image also took an extraordinary amount of time and effort to create – not surprising really, seeing as to the unknown viewer these would look merely like some arty photographs someone had taken when on a relatively rural walk.
We don't often post stuff like this but when there's chance to win $100,000 investment then we thought this just might be of interest. Ketel One vodka has launched a project to find "one original idea that champions the lifestyle of the modern gentleman" and which exemplifies "a higher standard of thinking and living." Five projects will be taken forward to a public vote with one scooping the main prize so if you're a designer with a killer idea and an intuitive understanding of the modern gentleman then we reckon it's got to be worth a punt? Actor and philanthropist Ian Somerhalder, co founder of the Movember movement Adam Garone and actor Carlos Ponce will be on hand to help mentor the chosen few.
In a world increasingly dominated by search engine algorithms and crowdmind suggestions, we're all for a bit of old-fashioned curation. A new project from Saatchi Online, 100 Curators 100 Days, does exactly what it says on the tin, with a really interesting selection of curatorial talent picking 10 artists that excite and inspire them from the Saatchi Online collection. From New York to New Delhi, large institutions to cutting-edge biennales it's an intriguing mix of cultural figures and a great platform on which to bring unrepresented artists to wider public attention. It's only five days in and already there's a host of great work to enjoy, so welcome to your new resource (for the next 95 days…)
"Born in Westphalia, Germany, in one particularly cold winter, I was raised on french comics and ancient computer games in the outskirts of Bremen." STOP right there Till Thomas, that's just enough information to cement the fact that your work is going to be terrific. What more do we need from the man whose confident self-publishing skills are enough to make even the most productive of illustrators feel a little edgy?
There's certain words that make our ears prick up and whet our content appetites in greedy anticipation, and space would be pretty near the top of the list. Whether it's illustrations for prototype space colonies or artists' installations recreating extraterrestrial travel we're all over it. But even confirmed final frontier fans there's something truly epic about this video put together by Knate Myers. By stitchng together mind-blowing photos from the International Space Station and adding some stirring music (John Murphy's Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor) he's created just under four minutes of shock and awe (in a good way). Look out for the Northern Lights sequences in particular and help put your mundane frustrations in some kind of perspective…
Going on the basis that you may struggle to trust a roast dinner festival in Japan (fun as it sounds) you can be safe in the knowledge that a poster exhibition from design-infused Switzerland is really going to cater for all of your graphic design needs. The Museum of Zurich is currently displaying twelve impeccably designed, Olympic-themed (naturally) posters, designed by 12 leading designers and studios: half British, half Swiss, at the House of Switzerland in London.
It is one big universal truth that our immediate environments and those we share breathing space with will inform what we do and make. Not everyone can pick themselves up and transplant everything they know with foreign architecture, questionable cuisine and/or whole other languages, but Spencer Wilton has. For this travelling graphic designer, new landscapes brought out a different sort of work from him and, for some time now, he has been photographing his way about the place, producing images that appear to hold all the studied attention of his original occupation…
Studio AKA's Dave Prosser has just released (literally this very morning) a new piece of personal work inspired by the city of Seoul, South Korea, funded by the Seoul International cartoon and Animation Festival. Dave's trademark degraded vectors appear in a whole new (and surprisingly bold) colour palette for the usually monochromatic animator, reflecting the neon-clad facades of Seoul's cityscape.
Jo Longhurst has a CV longer than my arm (which is long) that includes seemingly hundreds of group and solo shows across the world, reproductions in numerous books and even a cheeky PhD from the Royal College of Art. All of which leads us to believe she's an incredibly talented woman and this suspicion is confirmed by the sheer beauty of her work and the meticulous attitude she takes towards her practice.
Evan Nesbit is a mixed media artist living and working in Connecticut, creating large-scale woven works that are alive with colour and inherently tactile. Created using a mixture of acrylic, wool and masonry foam as well as traditional patchwork techniques Nesbit's creations cry out to be touched, bursting forth from their wall fixtures out into space; at times taking organic forms that appear richly fertile, evoking both masculine and feminine sexuality despite being composed from materials largely associated with feminine craft.
This week's Monday Morning Music Video takes a slightly different tack, focussing as it does on fashion. It can be tempting, when creating a look book or catalogue for a degree show, to simultaneously cram everything in and do something completely wild and original in order to get noticed. Well, I think it's pretty clear that LCF have pretty much smashed that theory out of the park with their slick promo video for their 2012 graduate collection. Stylish (naturally), fun, genuinely exciting and with a very watchable pace, this is the perfect video to showcase what looks like three years of very hard work for all involved.
Suzi Kemp is a London-based illustrator whose hilarious, fluoro-angst drawings are seemingly inspired by such much-loved characters as Adrian Mole and the teenage teddy boys of the 1960's. Her tattoo-like drawings are infused with as much girl-power as they are magnificent puns and scraggy hands, which is why her selection of books is particularly wonderful. Intrigued? Read on…
This week at "Things" we've got Swiss climbing walls, various smells, antennae, and a beautiful selection of photographic work. As well as various interpretations of Bart Simpson's face, because why not. Enjoy!
If I had a hammer. I'd hammer in the morning. I'd hammer in the evening. All over this laaaaaaaaaand. I'd hammer out danger. I'd hammer out a warning. I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters. All over this laaaaaaaaand. Ok couple of quick things. Is a hammer really the best tool through which to show worldwide love? And why aren't you hammeirng in the afternoon? Lazy. Here comes trouble…
What is happiness, good people? Adam Buxton, dressed like an angry stick of rock with a beard and swimming cap, being directed by Garth Jennings to point at and avoid exploding sand moles in perfect synchronicity to music that sounds "like a cross between Rammstein and The Muppets."
You know how much we love to please your eyes but just recently we've been giving some love to your ears as well (this sounds weird. I'll stop now).
Valencia street artist Escif has been transforming walls in all sorts of places, adding his figures, motifs, and commentary to surfaces and scales from Spain and Poland to San Francisco and Los Angeles. Much of his work has a beautiful ink-made, manuscript quality, which pleasantly jars with the open-air context, and yet draws attention to the similarities between that crumbling sand-coloured masonry and the fragile parchments on which such styles are found.
To put a positive spin on the miserable July we have had here in Britain, it has at least allowed us to indulge in two of our favourite national pastimes – weather chat and moaning. But it's getting a bit silly now if we're honest and so minds are starting to drift to faraway beach fantasies.
Not long ago we featured a man on the site who possessed such a mighty creative power that he moved us all deeply and it was generally acknowledged around the studio that he was an illustration sensation. His name was Nathaniel Russell. At that time he was preparing for a show in Paris that some friends of ours made an arduous 16 hour bus journey to attend, and by all accounts it was a most excellent show (we feel like damned fools for not getting on that bus with them).
More astonishing work here from the one and only Maisie Broadhead, the go-to set designer and photographer for historical photographic parodies. In this collaborative video with filmmaker Jack Cole, we see a sparse room gradually transformed into a very convincing Hall & Adamson photograph. Watch as the model, chomping sleepily on a banana, is dressed by Broadhead in period clothing, lit in an almost Vermeer-like way, and then placed behind a false wall and frame to actually become a photograph. The time-lapse video will be shown at the National Portrait Gallery alongside the original historic photograph it represents.

Census GPS: A Missile at Your Door
Steve Quayle
June 3, 2009
This will be the first in a series of essays about the practical aspects of creating a fascist state. I have long written about the New World Order and its intentions of reestablishing the Middle Ages with its Feudal system. That plan is now well along in its implementation in my view. There are still some aspects to be finished, but the fascist state is pretty much in place. It is not completely in place now; however, that is not due to a lack of trying. While there are many different aspects of this rapidly forming global fascist state, one of the key ones is what I call "the knowing state." By this I mean the global state wants to know everything about you. Again, there are many parts to this general statement. Today I will write about one in particular.
One of the most distinctive technologies highlighted in the "Star Trek" franchise was the ability of the Federation/Star Fleet to find all of their people any time they wanted. The way Star Fleet did this was to have this little pin on their chests. This particular technique would apply more to microchip technology than to the GPS system in my view. Still, it is clear the NWO watched Star Trek and took notes. Over the last few decades the GPS, or Global Positioning System, has been upgraded far beyond its original intention. In case you forgot, GPS was sold as a way to rescue people who were lost etc. etc. etc. In reality, GPS was always a military system. Always has been and always will be. GPS is a satellite based locator technology, cruising at 22,000 miles in a geo synchronous orbit used by the military to target their missiles. These GPS satellites maintain a relative position with the earth and this allows them to maintain a proper alignment with the earth.
It is this stable alignment which makes GPS useful in locating objects on Earth.
GPS has been in the news a lot recently. First, I have seen several articles which say that GPS is in crisis and needs to be upgraded, replaced or whatever. I find that interesting. Further, we are now told that the US Census Department wants to make GPS locator marks on every household location in the USA. Why is that? Such a GPS locator mark doesn't fall anywhere in the logical mission of the Census Department. Granted, the Census Department, like all government blobs, engages in mission creep. Mission creep is the government version of algae growing in a lake dosed with large amounts of fertilizer run off. Unless you go in there and suck it up with a shop vac, the algae will overwhelm the lake. Likewise, government mission creep is like that.
I ask myself exactly why would a civilian census department, originally intended merely to count the numbers of people in the country has done this. Exactly why does the Census Department need to know the precise GPS location of every household in the USA? Of course, the answer is they don't. The next question is who does and why do they need that GPS locator? Like I said before, GPS is a military technology that has certain non lethal applications. GPS can either be used to locate a missing hiker on Mount Hood, or it can be used to target a Predator drone missile. The choice is all in the use of the technology. Given the history of the US Federal government, at Waco with the Branch Davidians, at Ruby Ridge among others, you will excuse me that I am not buying the Census story.
The reason is simple. There is absolutely no reasonable, rational or logical reason for the Census Department to have, or need the precise GPS location of every household in the USA. However, there is a need for the Department of Defense to need this kind of info. Things happen in clusters in my view. It is all in the context in my view. If all you look at is the GPS locators, you will miss the big picture. First, we have that pathetic example of humanity called Janet Janet of the Fatherland Security Department with her delusional ranting in these so called reports of hers. We have state level reports, as in Missouri, stating the "terror threat" of certain classes of American citizens. So, the way I see it the GPS locator program makes sense only if you view it from a military standpoint. Otherwise, putting a GPS locator mark on every household in the USA is merely government mission creep gone amuck. However, I do not for one instant think that is the case. It is much more than that. It is much more sinister than that. And it is part of a larger fascist program that is ongoing.
To put it in the plainest terms possible, the only reason you would use a GPS locator system designed to target military weapons, is indeed you intend to use it for military targeting purposes. Otherwise, why would you do it? You wouldn't. At this point, I do not particularly care if people think I am a fruitcake, conspiracy nut. We are way beyond that point in the USA of 2009. I am telling you quite openly, in the little remaining time we have left, the main purpose of the 2010 Federal Census is to get these GPS coordinates into the Pentagon Data Base. And the reason to get them into the NWO controlled US military database is they will used to target "dissidents" with the kind of warfare being perfected in Pakistan's tribal areas as I write this essay. The US military is now engaged in live fire training, under the guise of fighting terrorists, of the specific technology, methodology and techniques which will soon be used here in the USA against "domestic terrorists." You may believe or not believe as you see fit. You have that freedom for a short time longer.
I will tell you plainly, the NWO controlled American military wants these GPS markers so they can launch Predator Drone missile attacks, the aptly named HELLFIRE missile I might add, against a long list of undesirables here in CONUS, continental United States. This is my opinion. I think the facts, the history and the current situation all support my conclusion. They, whoever you think "they" are, intend to kill you for your political, religious and cultural views. And they intend to do it in the most intense "shock and awe" manner they can. You can be sure the population control will be much easier if TV shows, for instance, a Predator Drone strike on the Waco compound. The other thing, since the NWO enforcement groups are cowards when faced with actual military resistance, is remote control, GPS based long range missile strikes will reduce their own casualties. These NWO people want to kill you, but they sure don't want to die while they are doing it.
This concludes the first essay in the series. One thing I will say for the NWO is they are very precise in their methodology. I do not believe they are very intelligent, but they are cunning and do certain things very well. One of them is to put a missile on a GPS identified target. So, when a HELLFIRE missile shows up at your front door, don't say I didn't warn you.

In order to quickly and stably supply products and services with a higher quality and a better cost-performance to customers, many businesses have formed a supply chain (a chain of related businesses covering everything from the raw materials until the product or service is delivered to the consumer) with multiple suppliers in regions across the world.
Against a recent background of an increasing awareness concerning international compliance, human rights, and the environment, businesses are required to correctly understand the working environment, legal compliance, and environmental measures of suppliers upstream in the supply chain, and endeavor to take corrective measures as necessary. The number of customers who preferentially select and purchase products produced by a wholesome supply chain is also increasing.
Our suppliers are essential partners who help us to create the value that meets our customers' expectations. In cooperation with such suppliers, we are promoting CSR procurement and working to improve transparency. Items on respect for human rights, safe workplace environments for employees, prohibition of discrimination, and other provisions are set forth in our Standard Purchase Agreement, which we also request the subcontractors and procurement sources of our suppliers to observe.
At the same time, conflict minerals form a source of funds for organizations involved in human rights abuses, environmental destruction, bribery, and other unlawful activities in conflict areas. Panasonic therefore has adopted a basic policy of non-use of conflict minerals as a raw material.
This is one more area in which Panasonic is creating and implementing mechanisms for sustainable manufacturing in partnership with our suppliers around the world.

* Prices may differ from that shown
primark is deffinately one place i would not stop shopping at as you can purcharse everything you need at a very reasonable prices.There is so much variety to choose from shoes to clothes and homeware all in one store. I think everyone should visit and see for themselves what they can get and what they will be paying for..
Primark.. well everyone has probably been or heard about it, its the place you can get all the top fashions at low prices they have such a huge range for children, adults, and even homeware! If you havent been i suggest you go and take a look i am sure you will find something you want to buy!
Advantages ---
Okay so the main advantage of course is going to be the prices, they are low and even lower when you catch a sale, you can get the latest fashions at rock bottom prices even shoes are so cheap you can get the full matching outfit for next to nothing!
They have a nice range for adults, men and womens clothing and they also sell the odd bit of homeware but recently that seems to be getting a lot bigger. Childrens clothing aswell from newborn up to teens and they have some nice fashions too!
Disadvantages ---
if you dont like busy stores then avoid at all costs, Primark gets really really busy and please be expected to Que for a long time, the problem i have with primark is the mess of the stores, i have been to several different stores and all is the same, there is usually clothing scattered everywhere as its so busy they cannot keep upto the tidnyess of the store which can be frustrating especially when you are trying go find a certain item!
I also find they have a rather large range of boys clothing but not so much for girls and they dont have enough younger clothing - E.g newborn to 1 year!
Primark, one of the most well known cheap clothes store in the world. Cheap prices, generally good quality and horrid helpers.
I must have at least half a wardrobe of primark clothes and i love mist of them. I wear them quite a lot (mainly because it's around half my wardrobe and) because they are mainly comfortable and of a high quality. There are many sizes so you should be able to find at least a t-shirt that will fit you.
Only problem is there is not any cleaners/ servicemen to pick up the clothes that people throw on the floor or fold up the clothes that have been screwed up. This is a shame as otherwise it is quite a good shop, especially as it is cheap.
Overall, I love Primark, it's cheap, can get near enough everything you want in there. For the price you pay the quality isn't bad at all. They have a wide range of everything really, to suit all ages, seasons and fashion senses and styles.
I do a very wide range of cardigans in the winter, very good value for money and wash well, the do a good selection of plan t-shirts and vest tops too, all at very cheap prices! I love their pyjama and onesie range, it's very good and again cheap and good value for money.
I have only ever had two things from Primark which wasn't so great one was dungarees the hock completely broke off after one wear and after I'd handwashed it too so I wasn't impressed I hand washed it because I didn't want it to break, it would of ruined my dungarees and not done my washing machine much good either. I took it back to the Customer service desk and they accepted it was faulty and refunded me, no problems at all.
The second thing was a White, duffle coat, I was really pleased with it and for £18.00 it was a real bargain! I washed it in the machine and the stitching on the seem on the hood had come lose and separated, still some would say what do you expect from Primark at that price? I say well, whatever price you pay something shouldn't begin to fall apart after its first wash. I again, returned it to Primark and they didn't quibble the return and refunded me.
Everything else I have ever bought from there has been fine, no problems at all. I do though, strongly recommend you try jeans on in there first as the sizes of them aren't always true to there size and they're often smaller, eg, a 12 is sometimes more like a 8-10 I tend to go for size 14 in jeans.
They do a lovely home section too, good quality bedding and towels for a reasonable price. I have tried their nail polishes too, and they aren't bad for 80p.

Primark is a high street store which sells clothes and shoes for women, men and children. It also sells accessories such as jewelry, hair ties, lotions and bath products. The store is notorious for selling items at ridiculously low prices. Due to this it is usually one of the busiest clothing shops on the high street.
My local Primark is Newcastle and there is also a store at the Metrocentre, Gateshead. I have never been in either store when there hasn't been a huge line of customers waiting at the tills. The store does have a large amount of open tills though, so waiting time is never too long.
Although the store have a wide range of clothing for every taste and style the quality of items I've purchased at Primark have been the reason I've not shopped there as often in recent times. I've had problems like one top I bought was marked one size on the neck label and another size on the care label. I've also had items that literally fell to bits after washing. I've discovered the best buys are simple wardrobe standards like t-shirts and jumpers although almost every item I've bought from Primark has been prematurely worn out. The prices are so cheap that it may not matter to some people but I prefer to have clothes that last.
Another thing about the store that I don't like is that it's so messy inside. There are so many customers looking for a bargain that they simply rifle through the clothes and throw them around. When I go in I often see piles on the floor and on display counters just ruffled up. It's not a classy place to shop, put it that way!
Positive aspects about Primark include the fact that their fashions change so regularly that you can always find interesting new designs in store. I love their t-shirt collections in both the men and women departments. There is literally dozens of designs and shapes to choose from so it's a lot of fun to find one you really love. You can buy them for as little as £3 too! My best buy from the store was a very decorative and eye catching travel bag which I got a couple of years ago and which is still in perfect condition despite lots of use.
I would recommend Primark to anyone looking for clothes that cost next to nothing and that they don't mind not holding on to forever. I've seen people of all ages in here and it seems particularly popular with the under 20's age group.
I'm not a snobby shopper - unlike a lot of my friends I have no shame to shop in Primark. The prices are more than reasonable, mostly. Recently some of the prices seem to have increased but are still way below prices you'd expect elsewhere. The quality of the clothes is generally okay, but I have had a few issues with buttons falling off or threads etc.
The shop itself is quite often extremely unorganised and messy. Clothes are guaranteed to be sprawled over the wrong clothing racks, and stepping over abandoned clothes on the shopping floor is the Primark norm. It is much like a constant jumble sale.
I find Primark the most useful for basics / essentials, such as plain tights, socks, plain shoes, hair grips etc. Their bags are easily breakable, as I have learned from experience, and can't carry much weight. Their clothes are one of two extremes: 'who thought this would sell?!' or 'why isn't this sold out?!'. There is rarely an inbetween!
Clothes can also wear out from washes, but when you only spent a few pounds on it in the first place it's hard to complain. For the most part, I've had nothing but good experience with Primark products quality-wise.
I absolutely love the Primark homeware range, which imo is the best part of the shop.
Lastly, a little minor complaint would be the impractical paper bags. I know they're eco-friendly but they aren't great when they get soggy and your purchases end up on the pavement! Ha ha :)
I have to say that I am a regular shopper at my local primark store and I have been for around 5 years.It has the best prices for everyday clothes,socks and pajamas and I regularly shop here probably at least once every week for one thing or another...The variety of clothes on offer are really appealing and you know that everytime you shop at Primark there is always new stock practically on a daily basis.I have bought many cardigans and knit style jumpers over the past months and they are ok quality for what you pay for them.....obviously the old saying 'You get what you pay for' applies to Primark items.You can't expect to pay £10 for a jumper and expect it to be the same quality as a £40 jumper from Next come on thats just common sense.People who complain about the quality may not of thought about the you get what you pay for logic.Clothes from Primark will not last you year after year but the will certainly keep you looking current and warm in the winter and cool in the summer....What more could you ask for??? I am a fan of the pajamas that they sell and I find that they have a wide variety of choice and sizes throughout the majority of all of the ranges. The onesies are so comfortable and a bargain at £8-£12 . I would really recommend this shop to anyone on a budget you can still look decent without having to spend a fortune.
I have a love and hate relationship with Primark, I mean you either Love the shop or you Hate the shop. I'm a consistent shopper at Primark and get most of my day to day clothing from the shop, I love the clothing that is sold in Primark but hate the rush and lay out of the shop it almost reminds me of a jumble sale. All clothing from Primark is in style trends at very cheap prices in comparison to other shops which is why the shop is so popular, and which is one of the main reasons why I love to shop at Primark. The cheap clothing that looks good for cheap prices! Although I must say, I'm usually almost happy with every Item of clothing I buy from Primark, The materials aren't the best and tend to bobble sometimes and shrink after a couple of washes, but that's to be expected because the clothes are fairly cheap material. It's my ultimate favourite shop for buying small essentials such as bags and purses hats and scarves etc and the shop has recently just opened it's own brand of perfumes and sell various different types of make up which I think it great for people who don't mind about brand names and are seeking cheap make up. I have to say though the shop get's very busy and almost on every occasion I have gone in theres been piles and piles of clothes strawn out across the floors and put on wrong hangers which can be extremely annoying!
Primark. It's a bit like marmite! You either love it, or you hate it! Me, I love it!
For me, Primark enables me to get the latest on tend items for a fraction of the cost of other clothing retailers. Their £2.50 t-shirts are a staple of my wardrobe and can either be worn to work under a blouse or with a pair of jeans. Whilst some of the items may not cope with more than 4/5 washes, I do have a grey cardigan that I purchased 8 years ago that is still going strong.
I'm not totally blinkered about my love for Primark, there are days where you want to avoid the store - weekends, as it resembles a jumble sale! Also, don't expect a size 12 to be the same on all style of clothes as you may end up going needing to go up or down a couple of sizes.
Primark is a well-know store of all types os cloths and shoes. It''''s very cheap, you''''ll find a great variety and the products sell have a really good quality. Although it''''s possible to face a crowded store, I say it''''s worth, because you will certainly go back home happy.
Primark is one of the most fashionable, affordable retail stores on the high street. I first visited Primark back in 2005, it was a store on Kilburn High Road in North West London.
The store sells fashionable that is affordable. It was great when I was in my teens and had no or little money because I could still get new clothes and feel good at the same time. Even in my university student days, one of my most worshipped places! But now, I only go there for essentials like socks and plain t-shirts. Oh and the onesies! The onesies are possibly the best thing primark sells. I got a fox onesie there and it was like love at first sight when I bought it, it's a bit holey now but I'm wearing it until it's beyond repair because I love it too much! It only cost me £10, which was pretty awesome. I'm planning to get the parrot one they are currently selling at the moment!
Primark sells things for as cheap as £1/£1.50, you get get these kind of prices in the sale too!
But the one pound items are mainly jewellery, underwear, socks, some t-shirts (the basic ones) But items that are sold for this price normally fall apart, rip, tear, wear out after the first few wears, short term is fine, but for the long term you may want to think about. But some items are just as cheap as car boots and charity shops.
The most expensive item in Primark I have seen was either £25 or £30, which were dresses for the party season (so around December time) but it was a limited edition item, like most retail stores they go for a bit more money.
The jeans usually go round for £7-10, they last no more than a year.
The shoes range between £3-20 pounds. I once bought some heels there in the sale for £4 reduced from £10 and they lasted me two years, so some of the items are not too bad. But things like the ballet pumps, the plimsole-style trainers that teenagers and young people seem to wear quite often are around £2-4, which can be a good thing and a bad thing, because the white ones I only tend to wear in the summer, so it's not bad paying that price for an item you are going to wear everyday and only wear in the summer of that year. I normally tend to get my summer clothes from here because in England, half the time we do not know whether it is going to rain or shine. But if you wear the plimsole-style trainers all year round, it's a bit better to pay a little more for them because they fall apart and get the 'trodden down' look after about a month or two.
The swimwear is amazing at Primark, I bought a bikkni there about seven years ago, and it stills look amazing, brand new and I only paid about £7 for it, so that was a good buy there!
Outwear such as coats are good, because they normally tend to stay in the quality when first bought.
Handbags, weekend bags do tend to fall apart, one time I was filming a scene and used a primark weekend bag and it fell apart during filming so I have to use duct tape to fix it together! Luckily it was only the strap and not the entire bag! They are around £6-10 for weekend bags, and handbags are as cheap as £3-4.
They also sell make-up and home ware as well. I haven't tried the make-up there before, so I am unsure how well it performs, but the home ware is quite nice, I once bought the most adorable pug cushions for £4. Amazing price and I love pugs, so that was a bonus. They look amazing on my bed, have a nice little touch to it.
The stores are located all over the country, sometimes you have more than one store in a city, like two or three, unless you're in London they are all over the place, just about. There are a lot of career opportunities for the store, the best thing to do is check online or if you see an advertisement in the store, is to hand a CV and cover letter in.
It is a good place, if you love fashion and on a budget, or need last minute essentials, a student who needs a fancy dress outfit for a night out (I remember the days!) or if you love clothes so much it does not matter where you shop! Primark is so good for everything and everyone, cheap as chips so no breaking the bank! The last thing that will worry about when shopping here!
Primark is a clothing store which has been around for years but really became popular in the UK about 10 years ago. Primark sells clothes for the whole family, women, men and children. You could buy a whole wardrobe from there - underwear, shoes, tights, costume jewellery, babygros. They also have a small homeware section which sells tea towels, curtains, bedding.
When I was 16 (in the 1990's), Primark was my first Saturday job. I remember people buying baskets full of clothes for the whole family for £50. It was a bit of a saddo shop and as a trendy teen, wouldn't wear their clothes. I would spend my Saturdays folding up and rehanging clothes that had fallen on the floor. On our first day, we were told that staff aren't entitled to an employee discount as the clothes are so cheap. That says it all really!!!!!
A few years later, just as Primark was becoming trendy (I like to think that I 'discovered' Primark just before it became trendy) I bought a top from Primark for £6 to wear to work and everybody commented on it and said it was lovely. A few short years later and everybody was shopping in Primark.
Great for high fashion items that may only last a season or two (e.g. onesies - if they were ever in fashion)
There are some 'hidden gems' (I once found a solitary pair of sandals reduced to £3 and they lasted me a few years).
Great for growing babies, as by the time the clothes need replacing, the baby has grown out of them
There is a large selection of accessories like tights, costume jewellery, hair clips etc, which can brighten up an outfit for a couple of pounds
They normally have plenty of the same item on display so you often find your size
The quality has improved in recent years
Primark keeps my pre-teen niece and her friends occupied for a few hours and they feel like they have bought loads, but the reality is it only cost a couple of pounds!!!
Although the quality has improved somewhat, so has the price. Its not as cheap as it used to be and prices are on par with H & M.
If you have a Primark in your town, you will probably come across somebody wearing the same outfit as you.
The queues - sometimes it isn't worth queuing for a £1 pack of hair clips.
As prices are so cheap, it encourages you to spend money unnecessarily ('that's a pound, I'll buy 3')
The stores can be messy - If I go to Primark, I go early in the morning, when the store is tidy. Otherwise, it turns into a jumble sale with clothes all over the floor.
The amount of polyester - I keep getting electric shocks from all of the polyester. I'm scared to touch anything.
Primark is well known for accomodating to those with shallower bank accounts than others. When I was a teenager I used to make Primark my first port of call when out shopping because of the amount I could get for such a small price! These days my opinion mostly remains the same, though a few more changes could be made.
Tops of all varieties, jeans and underwear would overrun my wardrobe at home due to my Primark purchases. I would leave the shop with handfuls upon handfuls of the same item but just in a different colour because I couldn't believe the value. Being younger and having no income at the time this was a perfect for me. I also had the patience at that age to rifle through the stacks upon stacks of clothes.
This is probably Primark's biggest problem. The organisation is so faulted I feel more stressed shopping there than anywhere else. An employee could have folded fifty jumpers and left them in their place. Less than 10 minutes later most will be on the floor, some in different places round the store and probably only a few placed in shopping baskets. I think the staff should be awarded for their patience. Though they're not always the most helpful I've come across they certainly have a lot they have to do and I do sympathise greatly.
The next problem with Primark is the quality. Now for £3 I don't expect my strappy top to be a miracle, but I do expect a certain amount of quality, especially seeing as other high street shops now offer similar basic products for the same price and are far more often stitched correctly.
The sizing can also be an issue if, like myself, you are in between sizes. For example, underwear is sized either 6-8 or 10-12 when an 8-10 might be more appropriate. They don't supply as many items for petites as plus size either, meaning there is often an abundence of size 18s and very few 8s.
I've noticed the pricing at Primark has increased greatly over the past few years, which is unsurprising due to the financial state of the UK now, however I find they often match prices of certain items to that of "better" stores (see previous paragraph).
Though this review doesn't paint Primark in the brightest of colours I would still recommend it as a good store for basic needs. You can still get some excellent products and rare designs and you can guarantee that at least you won't be paying £30 for a pair of jeans. Primark certainly does deliver.
As an extra suggestion - if you can't find what you're looking for, I have occasionally been known to purchase an item in the largest size just so I can make a different garment from it! There are worse places you can spend your money.
Well what can I say about primark? It's affordable, good quality clothing.
Every time I go into town I will go into primark. You can find all of your clothing needs there. The departments I shop in most are the woman's section, little boys and the home section. They also offer a men's section, baby section, girls section, and accessories.
They are always up to date with the fashion and trends. The prices have increased a bit in the past year or so but then so have most shops!
Two things that really annoy me about primark though, is that so many clothes are on the wrong sized hanger! It gets ridiculous sometimes. Also there seems to be millions of tiny sizes but hardly any bigger sizes. I'll be damned if I need to find a size 14! It's always 6's and 8's taking up the spaces.
I have found the staff to be friendly and helpful once approached but on looking at them from affar, they sure do look miserable and sometimes rushed off their feet.
The primark in my area is always full of people which can only be a good sign!
I have found the clothes to wash well and to last a good while. The fitting rooms are large and well supervised, there usually quite a que for them though, even though there's plenty of them!
Primark are very good with returns and exchanges, I've never had a problem and my query always gets solved.
There are plenty of till points and even though there are often massive ques, they go quite quickly.
I always recommend primark to others. I work in a clothes shop and if people are looking for something we don't have then I usually point them In the direction if primark if I think they'll have it.
The underwear and shoes are excellent value and quality of money. There have been plenty of times where I've found clothes in primark which are exactly the same in other shops but double, sometimes triple the price.
The store Is always clean and presentable, and always warm which is nice.
I can usually find whatever I need in primark and I'll always look there first.
I do think primark would benefit from online shopping, or even a website where you could view what they have in store but not actually buy online.
Primark are a Dublin based company, and the first store was opened in June 1969 on Mary Street, Dublin. The company now operates in Southern Ireland under the name Penney's. We have had Primark in Northern Ireland for as long as I can remember. I remember they used to advertise heavily on TV around Christmas as well. Nowadays, they don't need advertising, as the name speaks for itself. We do pronounce the company name differently in NI, I've always known the pronunciation to be Preemark.
When I was younger, Primark was a shop that you didn't want to be seen in, or stock clothes that you wanted to be seen in! Now that I'm an adult earning my own money, I love Primark. The clothes are cheap and generally last well. I don't like spending a lot of money on my work wardrobe, so Primark is ideal. I also find they stock a wide range of tops for every occasion, jeans are a good fit and I even buy my gym clothes from Primark now. I am a big fan of Primark, particularly as due to ill health, I wasn't working for a period of time last year. Primark meant that I could still occasionally treat myself to something new or some new makeup and it not cost a lot of money.
Primark stocks most of the essentials for you and your home. What you can find in store includes:
Womenswear/shoes/accessories including the own brands
Atmosphere (fashion & formal wear)
Denim Co. (denim products)
Secret Possessions (lingerie & nightwear)
Primark Essentials (underwear)
Opia (Jewellery and hair accessories)
Cedarwood State (fashion)
CS Active (sportswear)
Denim Co. (denim products)
Primark Essentials (underwear)
Authentic Apparel (leisure wear)
Early Days which is the babywear range (newborn - 23 months)
Young dimension (YD) which is girls clothing (2-7 years - 8-13 years)
Girl 2 Girl which is young girls clothing (2-7 years)
Rebel the boys clothing range (2-7 years - 8-13 years)
Denim Co. (denim products)
Primark Essentials (underwear)
Homewares which includes bedding, cushions, curtains, towels, kitchen and home accessories
Health and Beauty including cosmetics and beauty essentials
There is a wide variety of womenswear available, particularly in the larger stores.
The casual ranges include t-shirts (including some Disney and band t-shirts), vest tops, hoodies and sweatshirts. Casual trousers include jeans, leggings and jogging trousers. Dressy tops and dresses can also be found here, as well as workwear. Some stores have also recently introduced a range of gym wear. The store also has a wide selection of nightwear, including pyjamas, separates, shortie pyjamas, nightshirts and onesies. Their underwear includes various types and styles, sets and mix + match and also a very good selection of hosiery and socks.
The women's shoes selection is also amazing, from slippers and comfy flats to killer heels. A wide range of accessories are also available including scarfs, bags, belts and ear muffs, as well as a wide selection of hair clips and bobbles.
The health and beauty ranges include makeup, nail polishes and wraps, false nails and false eyelashes for around £1 each. The range of lipbalms available range from favourites such as Carmex to Coke/Fanta/sweet flavoured lip balms. The makeup all seems to be decent enough quality as well, and alwaysideal to try something new (new colour lip gloss or eyeshadow) without spending a lot of money. Other health and beauty essentials such as nail files, tweezers and cotton wool pads are also cheap. Primark have also recently expanded their health and beauty range to include some branded goods. Brands such as Nivea and Carmex sit alongside their own brand beauty products.
My only real criticism of Primark is other shoppers. The store seems to attract a certain type of shopper, an almost feral group of shoppers who ransack the place, drop clothes on the floor, grab things out of your hand, open everything and leave it leaking on the shelf.... I once witnessed a full on fight in a store once. I have no idea what was happening, but the blur of hair and nails that was quickly broken up by security told me all I needed to know. On a lighter note though, I did once see two young boys get thrown out once, as they were in the ladies department playing with the bras!
I have heard criticisms of the staff in Primark although I have never experienced this myself. Sometimes the staff aren't that cheerful but I don't mind that and if I had to serve the steady stream of customers that flood through Primark's checkouts, I'm not sure I'd be very cheerful either! The floor staff also have a thankless task, as soon as they have something folded, 2 more items are unfolded. I think the staff has the right to occasionally be grumpy.
Primark have come under fire recently for their ethical credentials. The collapse of the Rana Plaza building, which housed a factory that produced garments for Primark was a massive blow to the company. The company have the following on their website in relation to the disaster http://www.primark-bangladesh.com/. The ethical dilemma is a tough one, but other more expensive brands use the same methods of manufacturing and pass the profits onto shareholders.
Some people are very snobby when it comes to Primark which I don't completely understand. Yes, it can be crowded and on occasions the clothes aren't hard wearing, but if a top cost £2 - £3, it's hard to find a reason to complain. I once bought a pair of shoes that fell apart a few months after I bought them, but considering I paid 50p, I'm not complaining! Primark has somewhat spoilt me though price wise, as I go into other shops, realise the items are a lot more expensive and then go back to Primark. Primark does a fantastic range of my 2 'must haves' for the winter months - fleecy pyjamas and fluffy socks. It's one of my favourite feelings, to come home and curl up in new fleecy pjs and socks. At around £8 for pyjamas and £2 for socks, it means I can afford to indulge myself occasionally.
I do think though that sometimes you do need to be in the mood for Primark. Sometimes the crowds, the clutter and the queues are too much for me so I go elsewhere. Normally though the positives more than outweigh any negatives. I do try to avoid the shop on a Saturday afternoon though if I'm honest. It's a definite place to visit for cheap and cheerful clothes and homewares.

A Way Google Can Make Big Money With Mobile
Can this little mobile bar code be worth a significant slice of a $320 billion market opportunity to Google?
It's not a question that one of the cornerstones of Google's future earnings growth will be in the mobile market, but what is debatable is whether its paid search revenue template that has worked to date through traditional desktop computers will be the way they get there.
Recently Henry Blodget of the Silicon Alley Insider wrote about why Google shouldn't be thinking that mobile advertising is the ticket to higher revenue.
Specifically, he took Google CEO Eric Schmidt to task about his statement that Google could make more through mobile advertising than the $20 billion it currently takes in through traditional desktop computers.
He does the math this way:
"Google currently makes about $20 billion a year in desktop. For Google to make "more in mobile than desktop," the targeted mobile advertising market will have to grow from less than $1 billion today to, say, $50 billion (assuming Google pulls down a mind-boggling half of it)."
While I agree with him that users aren't going to tolerate intrusive mobile advertising interfering with their communications, if Google can find ways to deliver value to consumers through mobile, maybe those revenue fantasies can become more of a reality.
And a key way I believe that Google could deliver that value is through mobile couponing. In fact, as this earlier Silicon Alley Insider article by Dan Frommer covers, Google has tipped its hat in this direction already.
The secret is using the little square bar code above in conjunction with a mobile device's camera to tap into the large existing market of paper coupons that appear every week in publications across the country.
For a point of reference, in free standing inserts alone (FSI coupons added to daily and weekly newspapers), there were 257 billion coupons dropped in 2007, according to TNS Media Intelligence and Marx promotion, up 1.6% versus prior year.
The average face value of these coupons was $1.26, which represents over $320 billion dollars of value delivered to consumers by major and minor marketers across the country.
This doesn't even include the value of coupons through direct mail, in store coupon machines, or coupons with your register receipts.
In contrast, the total amount to be spent by marketers on online advertising in 2008, as estimated by eMarketer, is $24.9 billion, which was recently revised downward versus prior estimates.
I agree with Blodget that $50 billion for a mobile advertising market is a big number, even with Google being involved. And if Google thinks they'll be able to growth mobile revenues by jamming traditional advertising into a mobile handset, they certainly won't get there.
However $320 billion in coupon spending is a bigger number, and if by levering mobile to provide true value to consumers versus just ads, Google could maybe do to traditional couponing what they have done already to traditional advertising.

Paperless Coupons Now Grow Trees
Now this piece from Promo Magazine talks about some clever PR. The current feel good color is green and that is what Cellfire, a company that's trying to break out mobile couponing to the masses, is wrapping itself in. The idea of delivering coupons in the right context (at the shelf) is one whose time is coming and what better way to show the outdatedness of paper coupons than to label them as tree-killers. However, while the PR is good, mobile couponing is truly not going to take off until WalMart starts accepting them at their registers….

DPAC No. 4 on Pollstar list
For the fourth consecutive year the Durham Performing Arts Center has placed among the most attended theaters in the United States, as tracked by the industry-leading trade magazine, Pollstar. The magazine named DPAC No. 4 in the U.S. in their recent 2013 report of worldwide ticket sales of the top 100 theater venues.
The top five theaters in the Pollstar survey, with their seating capacity, were Radio City Music Hall, New York, 6,015 capacity, No. 1; The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, 4,300 capacity; Orpheum Theatre, Minneapolis, Minn., 2,600 capacity; DPAC, 2,712 capacity; and Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE, Los Angeles, 7,100 capacity.
The venue's 2013 calendar featured 174 performances which drew more than 352,000 guests and saw 57 sellouts. Heading the list of the highest-attended shows were "How the Grinch Stole Christmas! - The Musical" and "Disney's Mary Poppins."
"In 2013, Triangle audiences again helped us set new records," said Bob Klaus, general manager at DPAC. "Our focus always starts with great shows, and every year, DPAC has one of the best Broadway, concert and comedy line-ups of any theater in America. The booking strength of Nederlander and PFM ensured that in 2013 every big show had DPAC on its list when planning a major U.S. tour," he said.
The Durham Performing Arts Center opened in 2008. Since 2010, the venue has made Pollstar's list of top five U.S. theaters.
Concert sellouts for 2013 featured classic acts John Fogerty and Alabama, country giants like Emmylou Harris with Rodney Crowell, R&B stars Gladys Knight and Natalie Cole, renowned artists like Tony Bennett, and special performances by Alton Brown and The Piano Guys. Comedy also played a decisive role in DPAC's season with Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams and Jon Stewart posting record-setting sellouts.
The top five Broadway shows presented at DPAC in 2013 were "How the Grinch Stole Christmas! - The Musical," "Disney's Mary Poppins," "Disney's Beauty and the Beast," "Sister Act" and "Jekyll & Hyde."
The top 10 concerts were Alabama, Celtic Woman, Tony Bennett, Gladys Knight & The O'Jays, Diana Krall, Il Divo, John Fogerty, Jack Johnson. Kings of the Mic Tour featuring LL Cool J, and Charlie Wilson.
The top five comedy performances were Jerry Seinfeld, Ron White, Robin Williams & David Steinberg, Bill Engvall & Larry the Cable Guy, and Jon Stewart.

Thank you for the release, it is a very nice mod. i do have i thing i wish to input though.
As i was playing, i noticed that the GDI riflemen were unable to deploy into their bunker state, an extremely useful ability i have often employed. I was wondering if this is something happening only on my computer or if there was an error you made in your coding of some sorts?
I have started from the beginning of the GDI campaign, created a new profile even so there is no chance of crashing or errors, but this still happens. I would value any advice.

Essentials to carry when traveling with your dog
If your pet is not used to traveling, it's better to make a list of essentials he just can't do without so you don't forget anything. You can take it easy if you know you have everything you need to make it a pleasurable experience for both you and your pet. Take a look at some must-have things for easy travel with your pet:
Traveling hygiene
Seat covers to protect the car's upholstery or leather can save you a lot of cleaning trouble later on as they can be removed and tossed into the washing machine. If you're traveling with a cat, you'll be better off with a portable litter box on those deserted highways as you can just dispose of the contents after use. Carry plenty of tissues and micro fiber towels to dry off your pet in case he gets wet.
Food and medicine
If your pet is used to one particular brand of food that's not easily available make sure you order well in advance and carry the amount needed for the duration of the trip. Carry a travel water dispenser too. Carry all his medical supplies, for example like his Citrate granules 300gms that prevents urinary stone formation, other medication and a first-aid kit.
Other essentials
A certificate from the vet that your dog is healthy and that he's up to date on all his shots is necessary if you're traveling interstate. A pet microchip implanted into your pet is a good idea so hit doesn't get lost and make sure you have a collar on him with his ID. Taking a chew toy or his favorite pillow or rug could make your pet feel at home and not get restless on the road. A medium pet carrier with its blanket could also make him/ her feel comfortable and easy for you to carry him too. But make sure it's well-ventilated.
Traveling with your pet is like traveling with your baby. If you plan it well, you can have an enjoyable trip that you'll always remember.

In fact, this gardening project has been going for two summers now. In this neighborhood, sharing and helping neighbors is up, and the taking of decorations from gardens has not happened. Happily, this is a beautiful example of beautiful people helping children make their world more beautiful.
Hello: When I write a profile of anyone, it is, in fact, my job to present their story as they would. That technically fits the description you use, "sympathetic." It's one of the hardest lessons for a reporter to do: To write every story on behalf of those speaking. It's not about me; it's about being true to the other person's life. So, although I'm pretty sure you didn't mean it that way, I'll take your comment as a compliment to my professionalism.
Hello: Thanks for wanting even longer stories! I usually hear the opposite from my editors. Length was part of why I didn't ask James more about the biblical underpinnings of his work. Some of the resources I list (in that side-bar list) do have more details on that. And here's another, if you're interested, from the website Someon-to-talk-to.net: http://bit.ly/qpmeVS.
Hello Everyone:
I've been out of town and only now had the opportunity to check the tenor of the comments on this story. I just want to say: You all have been terrific! I'm seeing a vigorous, but mostly civil exchange, with information, philosophical and theological views and facts being shared and debated to be sure, but, for the most part, no unkind condemnations. Thank you, thank you. The world is a better place when people can do that. I feel honored to have been able to profile James, who has thought deeply about this and gone through his own personal hells to get to this time and this mission in his life.
Regardless of your views on how those who are homosexual should live their lives, I think you can agree that he is a courageous man to volunteer to be speak on behalf of a group that has seen far too much cruel treatment from the majority.
You are correct -- and I should have caught that glitch in Aladin's quote. Apparently the correct figure is 31 or 32 (one death couldn't be substantiated, apparently). Here is where I got that: http://bit.ly/flehxw
I really, really wish I'd caught it before I let the story go to press and online. I hate to make mistakes, plus a goof like that dilutes the importance of the larger message that was being said. Thank you for catching that.
You're referring to a 2007 poll (the one I reference is later), and that number comes only from combining "often" to "rarely" justified answers for American Muslims age 18 to 30. What I find interesting about the more recent (and more comprehensive) Gallop poll is that it poses similar questions to Christians as well and finds, overall, that Muslims deplore violence that will take innocent lives (such as U.S. drone attacks or suicide bombers) more than American Christians do. I'm looking forward to the day when no one thinks it's OK to kill anyone, especially innocent people.
Yes, but I still should have checked that number. But thanks for your comprehension: Aladin was making the point that Muslims were victims of that attack as well as other Americans. His larger point, of course, is that when any innocents are killed, we are all, together, under attack.
Whoa! Where did you get that statistic? According to an August poll by Gallop, fewer Muslims support attacks on civilians than any other religious group, including Christians. 89 % of Muslims say attacks on civilians are never justified, while only about 70 % of all Americans would say that. You can Google "Most Muslim Americans See No Justification for Violence" at http://bit.ly/qgkRfW.
Hello: If you do not and would not support a theocracy, as you conclude your carefully analyzed reading, I doubt if he would label you a problem--and even theocracies are not, by themselves, the problem so much as oppression of other people.
I didn't get out of Kimball's book that he considers those 3 religions morally equivalent so much as he knows them to be equivalently potent in irritating (or solving) global problems. His is more of a history lesson than a theological comparison -- he's looking at how religion works in social and political systems, not whether or not they are true.
As for my own worldview? I don't know that it's relevant, but I joke I was a humanist until my first job, when I taught first grade. That's when I learned, as you put it, that "humanity is lethal." After that year, I believed in Original Sin!
Thanks for your comment. I bet you'd be interesting to talk with.
Actually, many people find it more interesting than NASCAR, and most are heartbroken when one of the horses (or drivers) get hurt -- an event which, thank goodness, is a very, very rare occurrence (the horses are pretty smart). If you go this year, I encourage you to get one of the regulars to explain some of the nuances of what you're seeing. You might become a fan!
Hello Steve: Since I work at The Huntsville Times, not the Birmingham News (we are sister papers and share state-wide stories like this one), it was a while before I realized you asked me a question. Actually, I do believe in the rule of law. However, when a law has been neglected for ages (as has immigration laws in the U.S.), and when there is no really viable path for legal entry for impoverished people without relatives in the U.S. who just want to work because our NAFTA-created situation of land-grabbing in Central America has pushed them off their ancestral land and their children are starving? Well, in those cases, I think God's law supercedes unenforced and unfair human laws, yes. (I'm not sure God really can see national boundaries, but only one world.) It would be kind of like if one of the few states where co-habitation is illegal (Mississippi and Florida and some others, I think) suddenly started busting all the 20-somethings who haven't made it down the aisle yet -- not really fair. What I would love to see is for everyone to play fair and work fair and remember that people of every nation and every social level are our brothers and sisters.
The Huntsville Islamic Center, 1645 Sparkman Drive, will also be open Saturday, Sept. 10, for tours in case people who think Islam is only about attacking others want to meet some of the very non-scary, hospitable people I've met there. And information about the Day of Service & Unity, for individuals or groups, is at www.InterfaithMissionService.org or 256-536-2401.
Hello bftp2: Yep -- Huntsville is full of all kinds of people (most of them pretty cool) from all sorts of backgrounds! It's part of what keeps my job interesting. -K
That's a good question (and one I've asked Protestant groups headed into predominantly Catholic areas). But in this case, your questions is answered in the story itself. This connection between Trinity and the children in Bolivia is about sharing resources, abilities and love. Ms. Akers doesn't mention, and I don't see any evidence of, any attempts to 'convert' anyone, but just to celebrate their friendships. I guess you count Vacation Bible School as a conversion attempt, but in the ones I've been involved in at my own church, it's really more about having a good time together for a week, studying Bible stories and fun songs and getting glue everywhere from the craft projects.
Hello: In my 20+ years in newspapers both here and in Tennessee, I've never heard editors discuss using photographs of something like this in order to sell papers. We hate having the awful responsibility of telling the story of the loss of someone who was serving his country. But we do tell it, because this is the true cost of being American -- a cost that will be borne disproportionately by by his family. I was not part of covering this story, but I can assure you that Capt. Ramsey's death was discussed with grief and reverence among my colleagues. We hope showing those children in Glenn's heartbreaking, dignified photos, will make real his -- and their -- sacrifice, and perhaps encourage people to contribute to the trust fund that SAIC is setting up on their behalf.
Thank you Greg, for a lively and interesting story on Mother Angelica. I know a lot of us are thinking of her these days!
I don't have a way to check your quotes, but you appear to have done your homework. I find these as alarming as, I expect, Muslims find statements by Christians about Christianity needing to spread throughout the world. Personally, I don't mind someone trying to convert me (although I've never had a Muslim attempt to convert me, and I have had some Christians making sure I was born again). I just don't want anyone, for reasons of religious beliefs, attempting to tell me how to run my life! That's between me and God. I expect you feel the same way.
Since I'm Christian, I wouldn't choose to live under any other religion's laws, including sharia. But sharia is as varied as Muslims -- mostly it pertains to living life as they believe God would have it. In a few places (too many, if you ask many of my Muslim friends who came to the U.S. to escape these systems), it gets used to institute a cruel system that, say, prevents women from driving as in Saudi Arabia, or imprisons and threatens with death people who convert to another faith. Most Muslims I know would show you how that is a perversion of sharia.
Here's one thing for sure: Muslim, Christian, or Jew: If there's a way to mess up a good religion, human beings will figure out how to do it!!
Hello! Did you have the opportunity to see the entire section today? On the front page was the sunniest photo in the world of a sweet little girl raising money to buy Bibles, also a story about the opening of a terrific new project by Second Mile (Christian organization in Huntsville). So we do lots of positive.
As for the "trash Muslim day"? Well, unfortunately, there are many who do seem to center some cruel activities around 9/11. Many others who, thankfully, make an effort to do something to make peace that day. This tour (which includes Jewish and Christian comics, too) is an example of some really positive events that seek to counter the negativism that's also out there.
Thanks for your comments -- and do get a copy of today's paper if you can. The little girl (Quincy Wilson) will really make you smile!
Really cool, Bob! Thanks for taking us up to the bells! -K

By the singular merits of thy childhood,
By thy perfect union with the Divine Will,

Development of the movement:
Guiding in Haiti started with a group of pupils and former pupils of a girls schools, Ste Thérèse de l'Enfant Jésus, directed by Mme Carmen René Durocher. These pupils established a club offering out-of-school activities. One of the girls, impressed by her brother's Scouting activities, asked to incorporate these activities into the club. Mme Durocher contacted the Scout representatives, the religious order in charge and then WAGGGS which eventually led to the establishment of Guiding in Haiti in October 1942. Later on, boarders at St Rose of Lima School became interested in Scouting methods and formed the second Girl Guide group. Guiding spread through the country and Lady Baden-Powell visited Haiti in March 1951.
In 1990, an intermediate branch between the Guides and the Guides Aînées was introduced on a trial basis as the Guides Relais.
The Association chooses a different theme as a basis for its programme of activities each year. This theme is adopted by all age groups.
Relationship to society:
The Association places great emphasis on community service, and Guides help in hospitals and canteens in many parts of the country. A major community project undertaken by Guides in Haiti was the running of a day care centre in the Port-au-Prince neighbourhood for factory workers' children. This has now been changed, at the request of local parents and children, into a regular kindergarten with three classes for ages 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 preparing for elementary school. It employs three senior Guides holding a kindergarten teaching certificate who receive a salary.
Through the HIV/AIDS badge curriculum, the Association has been involved in disseminating information and raising awareness about prevention of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and STD for girls aged 10-25. The Association is working with the Health Ministry in partnership with UNAIDS.
Communication and Co-operation
Guides from Haiti attend international camps held by other Girl Guide/Girl Scout Associations.
The Association Nationale des Guides d'Haiti publicizes its activities through radio and television, and publishes Fuse, a magazine for Guides.
Guides work in co-operation with the Haitian Association of Voluntary Agencies (HAVA), the Red Cross and UNESCO. The Association maintains contact with the government, especially with the departments for agriculture, natural resources and rural development, education, social affairs, youth and sports, and social welfare
The official training programme includes courses on family life education, hygiene and social services. Since 2000, a standing camp has been started with a training course for leaders. It is a continuous training course on three levels. It is open to participants 16 years old and over. Level one: Leadership and knowledge of the Guide Movement through theoretical and practical courses.
Level two: Course for trainee leaders in units
Level tree: Trainees take full charge of their units.
At the end of each level, 'graduating' participants receive a certificate.
Outdoor and Environmental Activities
Camping is an important part of the Association's programme and is a popular activity among members. Guides in all areas of Haiti are involved in tree-planting projects, their contribution to the preservation of the environment.

|Diplexcito, Nelson and Churcher, Sheila
'Tryst' is a film project; devised, created, developed and edited by Nelson diplexcito and Sheila Churcher over a three-year period. The initial motivation was to research the relationship between the material of film and digital technologies through the processes of collation and editorial decision-making to examine whether, with the advent of digital technologies in moving image production, a hybrid form of film production was possible. Such a cinematic form would not rely on the orthodox 'script to screen' procedures but would develop through process, intuition and Proustian association as a form as direct as writing or drawing, where images and sound could be added, recalled and retrieved instantly, mirroring aspects of perception, sensory and associative memory.
Through the processes of production, Tryst explored temporal and spatial coherence through its distinctive visual appearance and juxtaposition of analogue and digital technologies. The images and sounds were comprised of documentary and fictional approaches, where the aim was to produce an interdisciplinary and polysemic work.
In addition to crossing boundaries and genres, the work also attempted to be self-reflexive, examining the filmmaking process itself. The processes involved highlighted the ontology of selected images, sequences and shots that offered resistance, whilst others were conducive to temporal/ spatial manipulation and subsequent change in meaning. This was an important discovery in working with both analogue and digital technologies and in the development of future projects.
