My First Mardi Gras
- 7
Mon 5th Mar, 2012 in Features
Jarrod didn't really know what to expect from his Mardi Gras Parade debut, but the spectacle and splendor exceeded all his wildest expectations…
I was very excited for Mardi Gras this year. Not because of Kylie, not because of the after party and not because I had something awesome to wear.
I was excited because this was my very first Mardi Gras experience!
I had never even seen the parade before (in person or on TV) and this year I was going to be a part of it.
My friends were organising the DJ Ruby float and invited me to take part in dancing along side the float for the parade. I jumped at the chance and it stayed on my mind for the entire week leading up to the parade.
Saturday came and as parade performers we had to be checked in to Hyde Park by 7pm. I headed off to my friend's house for some pre-drinks and dressing up. They were covered in sequins and I was wearing the Native American headdress that I bought for the occasion.
We got to Hyde Park at about 6pm and already I was overwhelmed. The amount of people, the costumes, the effort that people had put in to everything, and of course the atmosphere. You could just feel that a big party was about to happen.
We went to find our float and to introduce me to the people we would be marching/dancing with that night. This is when the rain started.
I had been told that Mardi Gras is no stranger to rain and I was very thankful that some of my new friends had planned ahead and brought umbrellas.
What I enjoyed most about this part of the night was how open and friendly everyone was. People were walking around talking to each other about their costumes, their floats, their past experiences. There was a great sense of togetherness.
But what I enjoyed least was that blisters were starting to form on my heels!
After three hours of chatting, dancing, shivering and perving it was time to march. My first thought upon stepping on to Oxford Street was "Oh my god! Look at all these people!" I knew that there would be big crowds, but the packed crowds went on and on and on.
It was also fantastic just to interact with the crowds. People loved it when you waved back at them, gave them high-fives and just responded when they shouted things at you. There were also plenty of requests for hugs but I left that up to the muscled guys in undies who were marching with us.
I also didn't expect to see so many families and young kids coming to show their support. Some of the kids looked like they were having more fun than we were and they went wild for high-fives!
The crowd control volunteers were also really great at keeping the crowds motivated and much like everyone else on the night they were also very friendly.
After all was said and done we dismantled the float and I decided to head home with my feet being far too sore and the city being far too crowded for me to go on.
All in all I had some of the most fun that I have had in a long time and it was an experience that not only will I never forget, but that I hope to repeat again and again.
So if you've never been to Mardi Gras, appeared in the parade, or felt such a strong sense of togetherness and acceptance in the LGBT community, I highly recommend you give it a go. You won't regret it.

UPDATE: Facebook has once again included notifications in the admin panel. It's kind of annoying to have to do the extra click, but at least it's there!
Yesterday, I logged into Facebook at work – because yes, I
get have to do Facebook for my job. To my surprise, my admin panel at the top of my page was not as it should be! I hadn't even read about a new admin panel on Mashable yet, how could it be happening to me?
Well, it looks like I was in one of the first groups to test this newly redesigned panel, and it confirms my belief that Facebook is doing everything it can to drive marketers AWAY from Facebook.
I took a screenshot from a page I never use (note the pathetic numbers). My real pages are confidential, yo. As you can see, the Notifications box was replaced by a listing of your most recent posts and of course an opportunity to promote your posts if you don't like the numbers. <Mobster Voice> And you won't like the numbers, know what I mean? </Mobster Voice>
The very first thing that popped into my head was the "unnamed character" in the yellow furry pajamas who exclaims,
Who knows? The end of this story might mirror the book, when "unnamed character" actually likes Green Eggs and Ham. But now that I've gotten used to seeing my most recent notifications so clearly, I doubt I'll ever be a fan of this new layout.
So now that you know exactly what I think, What say you? Is this change remotely useful to you as a page admin?.

I get that he is a gud actor n everything but im concerned abt de accent, Guess will hav 2 wait n c.
THE lack of global attraction, and not height, stands in the way of local actors being cast to play fellow countryman - and former president Nelson Mandela in the film of his book, Long Walk to Freedom.
This is the view of South African producer Anant Singh who, along with British producer David Thompson, will be at the helm of the latest in a mile-long series of productions about the elderly statesman's life.
But the news was met with a lot of controversy from South Africans after British actor Idris Elba was revealed as the man to portray the 93-year-old because no local actor could match his height (1.9metres).
The criteria was mentioned by Moonyeenn Lee, who was tasked with casting the next man - in an already bulging list of international actors - to play Madiba.
Lee was quoted as saying: "The main problem is the height. Mandela is a particularly tall man. On average, South African actors are not 1.9metres."
Elba, who stars in the detective crime series The Wire, is 1.88metres tall.
There has always been discontent whenever an international actor is picked to play Mandela or even former wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
A local producer who has worked on several international projects, and did not want to be named, said yesterday: "When you put a star in a movie, there is value already associated with their name in various territories globally. The sad part is there are very few black actors the international marketplace will back."
He said many films that unexpectedly rose to global prominence, like Oscar-winning Tsotsi with an unknown cast, did so because of success on the festival circuits first.
"It's really about the business side of it which many people will not understand. We would all love a South African in the lead, but you have to look at who is doing the investment and whether they want a guarantee of their money back," he added.
Clint Eastwood's Invictus, a film about the role rugby played in unifying post-apartheid South Africa during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, grossed over $122-million (R932-million) - starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon - while it had a budget of only $50-million (R382-million).
International company Pathe secured the distribution rights in the UK and France and will handle global sales.
Stage and TV veteran Sello Maake Ka-Ncube said it was up to local businesses to throw money behind productions for stories of local heroes to be told by local actors and producers - the way South Africans want them told.
"I've been a strong proponent against having foreigners play [our local heroes]. But our country is also not taking initiatives and now we find people from outside putting money to make these films, and it's like the dollar rules," he said.
"Money speaks and everybody wants a return on investment and the time has come to stop whingeing.
"We have millionaires and billionaires in this country, but people from outside are owning our stories."
The film will be directed by Englishman Justin Chadwick and shooting is expected to begin in May.
Naomie Harris is reportedly earmarked to play Madikizela-Mandela.
I get that he is a gud actor n everything but im concerned abt de accent, Guess will hav 2 wait n c.
idris is a good actor, no doubt. but on the real, this sucks. freeman did a good job in invictus despite the irritating accent, which can be off putting, but he nailed the character in general. as for the starpower argument, i'm sorry but that is absolute bu.ll.sh.it! district 9 did very well both commercially and critically even earning an academy nomination for best picture and it had a south african actor in the lead. tsotsi won the award for best foreign film with an sa lead and with sa money.
He is a good actor, this countries actors are lousy, even nigerians are better than them, imagine having "Ekasi our stories" in this big movie.
You want to see how bad our actors are, just whatch any local music videos, lppk at the ladies, pathetic.
"British actor Idris Elba was revealed as the man to portray the 93-year-old because no local actor could match his height (1.9metres)."
This is a bullsh!t excuse. He may be a good actor and tall, but there are many others like that. And in his case he won't be able to speak Mandela's language the way a South African would.
this guy is an amazing actor and i believe he will do the role justice.
Idris Elba a Brit? I never knew you were British. I thought you were a Yankee.
"His father is Sierra Leonean and his mother is Ghanaian."
Stop whingeing and call 4 dem to cast Terry Pheto as Winnie.
Idris Elba, what happened to you bro. You look scary
1 Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
Skopo: District 9 did so well, virtually nobody remembers it.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is the 1961 action film produced by Irwin Allen. Admiral Nelson has just created the atomic powered submarine the Sea View and it is on its first voyage. However, disaster strikes when the Van Allen belt slowly heats the Earth to dangerous levels. The crew figures out that they need to go to the Marina Strait by August 30, in order to shoot a missile into it. Nobody except Nelson believes it will work and somebody is actively sabotaging them. It's a race against time as the crew of the Sea View rush to save the planet.
One look at this movie and it is very easy to see why a TV studio would want to make a series out of this. It's a pretty good adventure story with a nice level of suspense. The casting is pretty good too, Peter Lorre plays a good guy convincingly in this movie. It's a shame that his looks led him to be typecast as a villain, because he can do both types of role well. Walter Pigeon is great as Admiral Nelson, the strict but unorthodox Navy leader. Despite what Captain Crane thinks, Nelson is actually fairer than you'd think. Not only is he willing to try out unorthodox ideas, he even lets some of his men leave the sub, even though a more normal Navy admiral would either have stopped and arrested them. The only problem is the temperature of the Van Allen belt; had it really been 135 degrees, they all would have been dead by then. It would have worked better had it been around 100 degrees, then you would still have your fantastical story, but also have some plausibility to make it work. The saboteurs are obvious, but make some sense, as they both thought Nelson's plan was insane. Honolulu action film fans should watch this movie.

Bomb detection dog reunited with Marine
Both served on deployment in Afghanistan
SAN DIEGO - For more than a year, Marine Sgt. Sam Wettstein bonded with Belle, a 3-year-old Labrador trained to detect explosives in Afghanistan.
However, both were separated when their deployment was over.
"A piece of him was missing when he got home," said Wettstein's wife, Jessica.
The deployment ended in April, and Belle was sent to North Carolina for more training. Then the Wettsteins got a phone call and learned Belle was being retired.
"I was in a room full of Marines, and I can tell you I couldn't remember anyone's face, I can remember was that I could adopt Belle," he said.
There were jumps of joy, lots of licks and tail wagging when Belle saw Wettstein at the airport.
Travel and the adoption was made possible thanks to Mission K-9 Rescue and the American Humane Association.
Though Wettstein is still on active duty, Belle will live out her days at the family home in Orange County.

Associated Press photo by Charles Dharapak -- President Barack Obama is greeted before his State of the Union address Tuesday during a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington. Anita Kumar and Lesley Clark| McClatchy Newspapers Comments WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama returned to the unfinished business of a still struggling economy Tuesday night, outlining a second-term agenda with proposals designed to create jobs, expand the middle class and spur financial growth. In his annual State of the Union address, Obama laid out plans in four main areas — manufacturing, education, clean energy and infrastructure — to try to help the nation recover from the worst recession since the Great Depression at what he said would be no additional cost. "A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs — that must be the North Star that guides our efforts," Obama said. "Every day, we should ask ourselves three questions as a nation: How do we attract more jobs to our shores? How do we equip our people with the skills needed to do those jobs? And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?" He described a country that is making progress, ending long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq while clearing away "the rubble" of the Great Recession. Now, he said, the country must forge policies to build a more secure future. "It is our generation's task, then, to reignite the true engine of America's economic growth — a rising, thriving middle class," he said. "It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country — the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, no matter what you look like, or who you love. It is our unfinished task to make sure that this government works on behalf of the many, and not just the few; that it encourages free enterprise, rewards individual initiative, and opens the doors of opportunity to every child across this great nation of ours," he said. He proposed raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 an hour. He recommended spending $65 billion on road, bridge and building repairs. He unveiled a plan to save eligible homeowners $3,000 annually by refinancing at lower interest rates. Obama starts his second term with a stubbornly high unemployment rate — higher for women and black people than when he first took office — falling consumer confidence and a mounting deficit as he faces often uncooperative lawmakers on Capitol Hill. He insisted that Democrats and Republicans put aside their differences and take action, mostly immediately to find an alternative to looming across-the-board budget cuts that could harm the economy in weeks. Tens of millions were expected to watch the address, delivered to a joint session of Congress. Sen. Marco Rubio, of Florida, a rising Republican star, was to offer his party's response in English and Spanish. Rubio said, in prepared remarks, that the "free enterprise economy" will create jobs and, not as Obama has suggested, the collection of new revenue. "Raising taxes won't create private sector jobs," he said in prepared remarks. "That's why I hope the president will abandon his obsession with raising taxes and instead work with us to achieve real growth in our economy." Obama spoke about other issues Tuesday — including rewriting the nation's immigration laws and combating climate change — but mostly in the context of the economy. There were few exceptions: Obama pressed anew for the most aggressive gun-control plan in generations. More than 100 victims and family members of victims — including some from Newtown, Conn., where 26 people were killed at an elementary school in December — were at the Capitol on Tuesday. Obama is forming a commission to study changes in the voting system after Americans endured long lines and administrative problems at the polls in November. He announced that by this time next year more than half the U.S. troops in Afghanistan — 34,000 — will have returned home as the Afghans take responsibility for security. He condemned North Korea for conducting its third nuclear test hours earlier, warning that it undermines regional stability, violates North Korea's United Nations obligations and increases the risk of proliferation. He called for a reduction in nuclear weapons worldwide. Obama will fly to Asheville, N.C., on Wednesday to begin selling his plans to the nation. Later in the week, he will continue the campaign-style pitch with stops in Atlanta and Chicago. "He's going to take his press conference out to the country," said Rep. Sander Levin, of Michigan, the highest-ranking Democrat on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. "The president learned from his first term, you need to have a major dialogue." Obama's speech included both proposals that already had been rejected by Congress, such as $50 billion for roads and bridge repairs, as well as new plans like raising the minimum wage, which has not been authorized since 2007. Obama pledged, as he did during his campaign last year, to protect the middle class and the country's social safety net. He pressed for a "balanced" solution to boost the economy that includes additional revenue that comes from eliminating tax loopholes and deductions benefiting certain industries or the wealthy as well as reductions in projected spending. And he urged Congress to pass a package of modest cuts and tax changes as a way to delay drastic, across-the-board federal spending reductions that are scheduled to take effect March 1. White House officials said the president will pay for his spending proposals by re-prioritizing items in the budget. His proposed budget will be released in mid-March. "Tonight, I'll lay out additional proposals that are fully paid for and fully consistent with the budget framework both parties agreed to just 18 months ago," according to prepared remarks. "Let me repeat — nothing I'm proposing tonight should increase our deficit by a single dime. It's not a bigger government we need, but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth." On education, Obama spoke of expanding education for children before they enter kindergarten, investing in vocational programs that fill the need of the business community and making college more affordable. On infrastructure, Obama stressed the need to spend public money on roads and bridges. "We're not investing enough in our infrastructure," said Bob Costello, chief economist and vice president of the American Trucking Association. "You have an industry that has been saying for years, 'Please tax' our fuel consumption to pay for highway improvements." Obama announced that he issued executive orders, which do not require congressional approval, to open three manufacturing institutes and to improve the security of the computer networks that direct the nation's crucial infrastructure systems — such as electricity, finance and transportation. And he threatened to sign more if Congress does not pass changes to prepare for climate change. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

[PEPr] Comment on Mail::Imap
PEPr <pear-sys <at> php.net>
Bertrand Mansion (http://pear.php.net/user/mansion) has commented on the proposal for Mail::Imap. Comment: I don't like the class with your recent additions related to output (called "Bells and Whistles" in your comments). Those methods are View related and output html. They don't belong here and they just make the class more bloated. Same thing for the forum stuff. Just get rid of it, if people want to have this feature, all they need is the raw mail body and a static function to parse that content in the format they want. Really this just adds bloat to a class that needs to be as light as possible. Also, I don't see the point to call your methods imapSomething. Just get rid of the imap prefix and we might be able to later have a Mail_POP3 class with the same API. And again, you have instance vars called ccPersonal etc., which might not be set. Are you going to try to match every possible header lines to instance vars ? That's the bad way. Just have a header instance var (array) and fill it with clean header values. Then add a few accessor methods for common header content that needs cleanup (ie. getTo(), getFrom(), getSubject()...).

My insurance does not pay for it. The treatments can be expensive especially the prp, but it is well worth it. I just had a treatment yesterday to my hip ligaments, ischial tuberosity, and glut muscles. I am very!!!! sore today, but hopeful it will get better in the next few days. My prolo Dr. will only do one big area at a time, and uses xray and that is an added expense, but at least I know she is getting to the right areas. In my experience, you will probably need more than one area treated. When you have instability, it is usually in more than one area.
What areas are you having treated? I had my sijoints, lumbra area, pubic symphysis, and hips treated. I think that is where most people have pelvic instability. Good Luck and keep me posted. Sharon

Any luck getting insurance to pay for prolotherapy?Posted on 05/18/10, 10:39 am
Hi everyone,
I am going to move forward with prolotherapy. Has anyone had any luck with getting insurance to cover it? If so, which insurance and how did you go about it? My insurance is Cigna.
I really appreciate your input.

I really appreciate your input.

Hi Sharon,
Thanks for your response. If anything, I have to my advantage a letter for the Pain Clinic at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester that recommends me for prolotherapy. But I am counting on coming out of pocket for it.
I have made some calls to local providers. It scares me that they don't use fluoroscopic x-ray...like you say, I want to know that the know they are hitting me in the right spot. My doctor has recommended injecting all the sacroiliac ligaments in several spots.
I did see a video that showed treatment of the lumbar spine ligaments as well for sacroiliac pain. It looked like well over 20 injections all at the same time without x-ray. That scared me too, especially with the nerves involved with the lumbar spine.
I am tempted to go to the Mayo Clinic every time all though I am very far way (in Las Vegas) just because I trust what they do. Just curious, how much do you pay for your injections?
Take care,

I pay $550 per area for the prolo and $850 for the PRP. I am hoping to be able to write it off for medical expense on my income taxes. There is a really good Dr. in Salt Lake City and I believe he uses ultrasound, which is also good. One of the girls in this support group used him. It is a real slow process, and it may take many treatments. It is the only treatment I know that works for weak ligaments!!!! I will go back to my Dr. in about 6 weeks for her to reassest my areas, and to see if I need any more treatments to the various areas. Good Luck!!! Sharon

Hi Sharon,
Do you know the name of the doctor in Salt Lake that uses ultra sound? It may be an option.
Thank you,

Just saw this and will add my two cents. I went round after round of appeals with Cigna trying to get them to pay for prolo. Finally went to arbitration - they ruled against it, since no other ins. company pays either. You can try, but I went all the way through the process with no luck. Pricing for me (my doc is in Wash DC) is very similar to Sharon's. She's right - it is absolutely worth the expense. I am more severe than most, so have not had total restoration, but it definitely brought me back from insanity due to incredible pain. Now still have pain, but at least tolerable. Best wishes - you are on the right track. Consider using a girdle or SI joint belt worn low over hips at the same time - it does add stability.

Hi Monica,
Well, I wouldn't count on getting anything paid from Cigna then. Thanks for your input!

G.F. Smith's original Rosebud Salve has been a cult beauty favorite for over a century for use on everything from lips to cuticles to cracked heels. We tried one of the latest incarnations, Minted Rose Balm, ($7) and will be surprised if this formula doesn't become just as, if not more, popular than the original. The addition of lightly zingy peppermint oil to the original formula of skin-soothing rose oil helps calm irritated, dry skin and leaves a light rosy gloss on lips. The makers also tout it as - and get ready, this is a long list - a brow gel, eyeshadow base, highlighter, frizz tamer, and helps relieve hemorrhoids, diaper rash, psoriasis, sunburn, alopecia, and dry scalp. For 7 bucks a tin, that's a definite bargain!

BRISTOL, Conn. - Washington State University men's basketball will help kick off ESPN's fourth annual College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon as it travels north to Spokane to take on Gonzaga, Monday, Nov. 14 at 9 p.m. PT (Tuesday, Nov. 15 at midnight ET) live on ESPN.
This year's College Hoops Tip-off Marathon Presented by Disney Parks will include 19 live matchups - 17 men's and two women's - in a minimum of 25 hours, highlighted by ESPN's 11 game telecasts and a special one-hour College GameDay Driven by State Farm. ESPN3.com will offer two exclusive games as well as a simulcast of every ESPN and ESPN2 telecast. The Cougars and Bulldogs start all the action in WSU's season opener at the Kennel.

This year also marks the fifth-consecutive season Washington State will appear on an ESPN network telecast.

Derrick Rose will be headed to Spain as Team USA announced its the final roster that they will compete for the FIBA World Cup of Basketball.
Kyle Korver, Damian Lillard, Gordon Hayward and Chandler Parsons were excluded from participation early Saturday morning, just hours after USA beat Puerto Rico 112-86 in the final tuneup before the team is set to head to Spain.
The remaining roster is James Harden, Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Andre Drummond, Mason Plumlee, Kenneth Faried, Rudy Gay and DeMar DeRozan.
Since Team USA's mini-camp kicked off, the praise bestowed on Rose by teammates and coaching staff assured that the 25-year-old would be a lock to make the final roster, despite missing the better part of the last two years rehabbing from two separate knee injuries.
His status had come into question this past week when he missed two straight days of practice and was a late scratch in Wednesday night's game vs. the Dominican Republic.
He returned to practice on Thursday and played 13 minutes and 35 seconds in the win over Puerto Rico, finishing with six points on two-of-three shooting, four assists and two rebounds.
"I feel very confident about Derrick," Team USA head coach Mike Krzyzewski told reporters before the final roster was announced. "I think Derrick feels very confident. Thought he played great tonight. And these guys want to play with him.
"Part of getting back is to be around a group of peers. These guys are peers who want [Rose] to be really good... hopefully that will help Derrick as he gets ready to keep participating in this but also for the NBA season. I think it is a huge, huge help for him."
Complicating matters is the schedule. The Americans will play nine games in 16 days, including its five group play games in six games and three games in three days.
"You're going day by day," assistant coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters regarding Rose's availability for that stretch. "We knew that going in... It is a progression. He has gotten a lot better. The main thing is shaking the rust off. He will continue to build. If he needs a day off, he will get a day off. He says he feels great."

Logo Design Services Review
Why Hire a Logo Design Service?
Your logo is the most recognizable part of your organization. It doesn't matter if you run a small business out of your garage or a major corporation, your logo is the first aspect of your brand identity that people recognize and remember. An effective logo is a reflection of your organization's brand values, and it gives your organization immediate credibility. A successful logo attracts people to your product, which is why you should consider your logo an essential investment.
How much you invest in a logo may vary widely. Some famous logos, like Coca-Cola, didn't cost a cent while others, like the BBC logo, have cost millions. As such, you might feel tempted to purchase cheap logo design software and design your logo yourself. However, these programs rely on clipart, which means you're not the only organization using the design. In addition, most of these programs don't allow you edit the vector paths of the designs, giving you no control over the ability to create a customized logo. With logo design software, you get what you pay for.
This is why you should hire a logo design service to create your logo from scratch. These logo companies have experienced, in-house graphic designers familiar with trends and styles. These companies also offer additional services to help you build your brand identity and brand recognition – something you won't get with logo design software. Logo design firms like LogoMojo, LogoBee and the Logo Design Team provide the service and experience necessary to create a successful logo for your organization. If you're interested in learning more, you can read articles on logo design in our learning center.
Logo Design Services: What to Look For
The best logo design companies understand the value of a unique logo. These services never use clipart to build your logo. In addition, you should make sure the logo company avoids overused design trends and tired clichés – corporate swooshes, puzzles pieces, globes, etc. This means you should look for a company that promises to start from scratch, basing the design on the information, known as a creative brief, you've given the company. You don't want to spend money on a logo only to find the same design used by another company.
Below are some other criteria you'll want to consider when choosing a logo design service.
Package Features
Most logo design firms offer packages in a tiered system where the more you pay, the more you get. However, the basic starter package is a good reflection of the type of services you should expect from the logo service. In any package you pick, the number of concepts, graphic designers and revisions are important to consider.
The concept logos are the initial versions of your new logo created by the graphic designers based on the information in your creative brief. You'll base your logo on one of the concept designs, so a package that offers more concepts gives you the best chance of finding a design that you'll want to use. In addition, the ratio of graphic designers to concept logos is also important because this provides variety. If a company only assigns one designer to your project, you might find that all the concepts are too similar.
Once you've found a concept you like, you'll have the opportunity to request revisions. The more revisions you get, the more likely you'll be satisfied with the final logo. With basic packages, the number of these revisions can range from one to unlimited. The best logo companies even offer redraw sessions that allow you to request that the graphic designers start over if you're not satisfied with the original concepts.
Additional Site Services
The logo design company's portfolio is proof of its work. You should take a critical eye to the logos posted to the online portfolio. A large portfolio suggests that the company is confident in the quality of its designs. Likewise, a small portfolio suggests the company doesn't have the experience to create your perfect logo.
The best logo design firms break the portfolio into themes like sports teams, churches, real estate and more. This allows you to look at the types of logos the company has created for similar organizations and could provide some ideas when you speak to the project manager or graphic designers.
Some services include stationery design, logo repair, graphic design and web design as well. Many of the higher priced packages include these services or you can purchase the services separately.
Help & Support
You should feel like your revision requests are taken seriously and that your satisfaction is the company's top priority. The best logo companies have a project management system that allows you to view the concepts privately and communicate your feedback directly to the graphic designers.
The best logo design services also provide educational resources like blogs, articles and a FAQs page. These resources are great for learning the current trends in logo design and educating yourself on what makes a successful logo. Because your logo is the face of your organization, your design service should provide you with as many resources as possible so that you will feel confident in the company's design.
Logo File Formats
There are two categories of image file types: vector and bitmap. A vector file doesn't use pixels like bitmap files. Instead, it relies on geometrical shapes, curves, points and lines. This means that you can change the size of the image and the resolution won't degrade. This allows you to print your logo on the side of a pencil or a billboard without losing sharpness or clarity.
The vector files you should receive in your logo kit are EPS, AI or CDR, and PDF. The EPS file is used primarily for printers while the AI and CDR files are the original source within Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw, allowing you to edit the original file if you have access to the programs. In addition, you should receive web-ready bitmap files like JPG, TIFF, PNG and GIF.
Your logo makes a first impression. If it looks shoddy and poorly done, people will think your organization is unprofessional. As such, your logo is an investment in your organization's public perception, brand identity and potential revenue. These logo design services will help you find the logo to fit your needs.

great quality dye
By Lea
from Elburn, IL
I've been using this dye for that past few months for tie dye and I love how bright the colors are! I also like the large selection of colors and getting even more colors from mixing two or more. The dye is easy to use and I have been getting great results! The bottles are only filled to about a third of the way so I thought I was getting more when I first purchased but I shopped around and unless I bought the dye in larger bulk this is really the best deal I could find.
Merchant response: Thank you for your feedback! The Procion MX dyes are sold by weight rather than volume. Some colors are heavier than others, so the fill of the jars will vary, but all are 2/3 oz. by weight. If we can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-933-2542.

I usually let the cloth sit in the soda ash mixture for a week, dye it, and then let it sit in the dye for a week. It produces really vibrant colors. I recommend this to everyone that wants to try tie-dying.

The 71st annual Golden Globe Awards took place on Jan. 12, 2014, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, Calif. Here is what this Golden Globe winner said backstage in the Golden Globe Awards press room.
Best Actress in a Television Drama Series
You won this award for a show that's on Netflix. Does that matter to you, whether it is a TV show, on the web?
Apparently not. TV is the new future. And we are not even TV, by the way; we are live stream. Different.
You are also engaged to Ben Foster, so how are you going to celebrate?
I am in shock right now. It is so new, we are talking about where, when, how, but couldn't be happier.
What is it about this time in your life that makes it a very rich time and makes it come through in your acting, do you think?
I think I grew up late. Women always say about men, over 40, maybe they grow up, they do that thing. I was a late bloomer, is what it feels like. Because now I know I'm 48, but I feel like I'm 30. I feel like I digressed and now I am going to live my 30s again.
And that shows itself in the art, too?
I think what it does is, with time, is get rid of the baggage, the fear, the ego and all that, and you just stop being afraid.
Yeah, I hope so. Maybe there's a pill for it, we can sustain it.
How do you identify with your "House of Cards" character? She's got such a cool, poised demeanor, but there's this internal war going on inside her.
To give you the simplest response just as an actor, when you have a director that says, "More energy, be happier," you can't play those actions, but I can play stoicism. As a parent, when my children were young and they were being petulant and how you had to bite your tongue and just sit there, I use that. That's my sense memory that I use.
You look like you're still 30, and it's sort of been a long walk to this point, even though you were this great raw talent on "Santa Barbara." What would you tell yourself back then, if you could?
Back then, that's the greatest question ever. Because back then, you don't even know how to ask the questions. You don't even know that you are going to have to go through this tumultuous spiritual warfare to get to here, where it is like, "Hey, this is who I am, take it or leave it, but living and enjoying with it instead of blame or sadness." I am so full of joy. I have so much good in my life. So you're grateful.
You look extraordinary. What are you wearing and what do you do to stay so youthful? Do you work with a trainer?
Actually, it is Reem Acra. My fiancé did a movie recently playing Lance Armstrong, and he was on 800 calories a day and I said in solidarity, "I am going to go on the diet with you, man." And I really want to go to In-N-Out Burger right now. Thank you, guys.

Just watched Tommy make mincemeat of this song...
First time I've heard it when I clicked on the vid by accident. Are there any tabs for this? I especially love the bass run @ 0:18 which sounds incredible; just like a stand up bass. I'm sure it has a lot to do with technique and the Sand guitar itself but it's really cool.
Thanks in advance chaps!

Is October your favorite month of the year? Do you save up your hard earned money to get the biggest and best costume? Do you want to amaze everyone at the party and really stand out from the crowd? If you are pretty handy, then you can get creative and start making a costume now, which should give you enough time to start putting together an amazing and creative costume that is sure to wow everyone at the party. However, if you don't even know which end of the glue gun gets hot, then you may want to consider purchasing your costume instead. And if you really want to go big, then you can GO BIG with these. Splurge away on these seven amazingly detailed and very pricey costumes. Once you pay for shipping, accessories and all the makeup then you'll easily spend up to $3,000 to call one of these great Halloween looks your very own.
The most loyal of Star Wars fans may already own this one. But if you don't, then here is your chance. This is officially licensed, which means it can be called a Stormtrooper costume and not "space guy costume." It comes with the jumpsuit with molded armor pieces made of 100% plastic and the helmet. But does not include the blaster, boots or gloves. Of course, you'll need those to complete the look. One reviewer also suggests replacing the lenses in the helmet as they aren't easy to see though, and add some foam in the helmet so it is a bit more comfortable.
The cost for your deluxe Star Wars Stormtrooper costume? This can be yours for the low price of $899.99 from www.spirithalloween.com
Matterhorn Yeti
If you are ready to really splurge, and you want to be incredibly warm all night long, then consider this finely detailed Yeti costume. This white furry costume comes with everything you need to stand out from the crowd at the party, or to create your own blurry videos for debate on YouTube.

With all the talk of conference reconfiguration, of additions and subtractions in the Big East membership, one school has been almost silent.
As one person familiar with the situation at UConn described it, "It's like UConn is playing a game of musical chairs and the music keeps stopping and they don't have a seat."
Make no mistake, UConn officials and fans are worried. With good reason. As the ACC, SEC, Pac-12 and Big Ten have made expansion plans the past few years, the Huskies have waited. And waited. And waited.
The call never came when the Big Ten went into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states and picked off Rutgers and Maryland.
The call never came when the Atlantic Coast Conference went north and picked off Syracuse and Pittsburgh.
The call never came when the ACC again went hunting and chose Louisville.
Forget the ten national championships won in men's and women's basketball by the Huskies. Forget the BCS bid the school earned three years ago. Forget the overall success of the athletic programs with improved facilities.
UConn remains uninvited. In a world of college athletics in which conference expansion is rapidly moving to a four or five configuration of 16-team super conferences, the Huskies remain out of the main loop as a member of a Big East conference which has been under siege for almost a decade.
Now, the 7 non FBS Catholic schools in the Big East are considering breaking off on their own, which again leaves UConn wondering what is next and where do we go from here.
The evolution of UConn athletics in the past 25 years has been steady as the school has gone from the somewhat rural New England school with big ambitions simply known as Connecticut, to the school which became a national player with a swagger in football and basketball l and was proudly known as UConn. Now they are back to being Connecticut, which has some people worried, others irritated and still others confused.
UConn's best strategy right now would seem to be a circle the wagons mentality . What the Big East must do is market what it has left and what it is getting as almost two separate entities.
Divide into a pair of 6 7 or 8 team divisions in football, play an aggressive non-conference schedule and then hope that a team emerges from the conference championship game with a higher ranking than any of the other four conferences contending for a major bowl slot in the new playoff/BCS arrangement.
In basketball, the Big East must put together a basketball/football division 16 team conference, pairing all of the Catholic schools and UConn together in one division and the remaining schools in the other division. Each school would play every other team in its division twice.
By doing this, the Catholic schools would maintain their sense of unity against familiar rivals, while also getting the benefit of whatever football money is earned. By being part of this in basketball and being part of a league in football which can earn a major bowl slot, UConn could survive, if not thrive.
At least until someone calls.
