> Wall Murals
Wall Murals
Wall murals are advertisements painted directly on building surfaces or printed on pressure-sensitive vinyl and attached to walls. Not all walls accommodate vinyl. Wall murals accommodate a wide variety of unusual creative sizes and shapes and have high exposure and visibility to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Located on major freeways and highways, on commuter and tourist routes, and in downtown business districts, wall murals are custom-designed for long-term exposure.
Primary Uses
With selected coverage of highway, expressway, and commuter traffic, wall murals often become landmarks in a city.
Murals are available in major markets, such as New York, San Francisco, and other urban areas.
Method of Purchase
Murals are purchased with special contracts for long-term leases, usually months and sometime years. These units often require substantial investment in design, construction, and maintenance.
Rendered by skilled artists and painted, this technique is rarely used today. Artwork should be received by plant operator 60 days before the posting date. The artwork scale should be 3/8" or 1/2" = 1'.
For exterior wall murals where the building is the structure, wind load becomes an issue. To alleviate some of the stress, an open weave of vinyl-coated polyester fiber is the preferred substrate. Not only does it allow the wind and the water to pass through, it also allows light to pass through so the occupants of a wrapped building can see out of the windows.
An adhesive-backed direct application can also be used for "wrapping" a building or any other surface. The substrates, while often vinyl, can also be produced from Mylar and polyester. There is an alternate substrate used for concrete, brick, or primed sheet rock. When applied to glass, the material is perforated. There are adhesives designed for unusually cold, as well as warm, temperatures.

DETROIT - Anna Kileen can't reach the new Hummer H3's pedals or even see over the steering wheel.
But if 9-year-old Anna had her way, a "shiny blue" H3 would sit at her Bloomfield Hills home until she was old enough - and tall enough - to drive it.
Anna and her family were among the masses of visitors at the North American International Auto Show on Saturday, the first day its 69 exhibits were open to the public.
Some visitors were in the market for more sensible vehicles.

Michelle Pfeiffer got cheeky with her boyfriend, actor Fisher (Short Circuit 2) Stevens, when she accepted the New York Film Critics' Best Actress Award for The Fabulous Baker Boys.
Despite her rumored engagement to record producer Ron Bloom, Princess Stephanie island-hopped in the Caribbean with a man the French press called her new beau, Jean-Jacques Beaume, 25. The palace in Monaco, as usual, had no comment on Steph's romantic antics.

Four Million Gamers Using Call of Duty Elite, One Million Paying to Do So
GameStop had previously claimed it sold 600,000 Elite subscriptions all on its own.
Call of Duty Elite is an interesting subject as it's the first service of its kind. Whether it succeeds or fails -- and there have been predictions it'll do both -- is, unfortunately, no indication of whether a comparable service would follow suit as no game has the sort of user base that Call of Duty does. Regardless, while the service is still not at 100 percent, it managed amass four million registrations after only six days, one quarter of which are paying for premium memberships.
That's a full one million people who shelled out extra to gain access to Elite's premium perks which include access to all downloadable map packs, Elite TV access, extra storage space for replay videos, daily tournaments where real-life prizes can be won, and more. It comes at a cost of $49.99 per year, although the $100 Hardened Edition of Modern Warfare 3 included a year's worth of access for free.
Free members, on the other hand, are restricted to stat tracking, loading customization from outside the game, custom leaderboards, clans, and several other features that are of course also available to paying members.
GameStop said last week it was responsible for selling 600,000 Elite subscriptions, a figure that might extend beyond the six-day window Activision referred to today (and may include sales of the Hardened Edition). In any event, it's still a huge amount of additional revenue Activision suddenly has coming in without Elite being available on PC -- and there haven't even been any map packs released for non-premium members to spend money on yet.
Elite's launch wasn't especially smooth from a stability standpoint. Users had trouble registering, logging in, and accessing various aspects of the service, problems attributed to demand that exceeded "even [Beachhead's] most optimistic expectations." It's been bad enough that the sign-up date to receive Founder status was extended until the end of the month, with everyone who signs up in November getting a free month of Elite. It's been said that things will be fully resumed by December 1; the Elite status page still describes service as being "intermittent."
In a separate announcement, Activision corrected a figure it shared last week. It was stated at the time that there were 3.3 million users playing on Live at the same time at one point. That should have instead been 1.4 million -- the 3.3 million number entails the number of people who played Modern Warfare 3 on launch day, November 8, but they weren't all online at the same time.

In order to justify COD Elite, MW3 would have to be the only game you play for a calender year. Since COD players are generally like Madden players and only play COD, I guess it makes sense. I'm not retarded, so I can't really relate though...
Why all the hate? Let them waste their money.Posted: Nov 22, 2011 12:00AM PST by coiled_string
A fool and his money are easily parted... so the saying goes.
People love to spend money on things they don't really need to fit into a community. Good to see the designer pants and shoes peer bregade have moved into video games. If it makes them feel better let them loose their money. I didn't
I believePosted: Nov 22, 2011 12:00AM PST by ActivisionStoleMy360
Call of Duty will honestly fade after every interation that comes out every year. It just seams (from my prospective) being there when they launched MW2, BlackOps and now MW3 that each launch more and more people complain about it, more and more BS goes down, and perhaps it will simply spike and die. Eventually people get tired of the same shit, most people (sadly) have the attention of a goldfish though, which causes this to happen in the first place.
However, to be fair, you can PAY for Bungie.net services or get them for free as well. I believe They started it, and Activision simply copied the idea for themselves. This is not meant as a shot at Halo (I do love Halo), however its just a statement of fact.
Great...Posted: Nov 22, 2011 12:00AM PST by GoKickyFastOK
... so yet again, Activision sets a new precedent for "hey, we found something that other games have done for free for years, and charged money for it!"
Seriously though, the idiots who threw money at this service should be proud of themselves. They unequivocally made the statement "yes, yes we will spend money on that." This sends a loud, resounding message to upper management to find more, asinine ways to choke money out of gamers.
What's pathetic is that...Posted: Nov 22, 2011 12:00AM PST by AzureLich
Not only is MW3 one of the laggiest pieces of crap I've ever played, it also looks and plays like a first-gen 360 game and is basically unchanged from the last six games before it, and it fixes none of these problems. And you know what? Activision is charging for extra stat tracking, and who the hell wants to watch these lame looking CoD shows? It's pretty sad that while Activision churns out new maps and charges 20-30 dollars for them, Epic gives us 5 new maps on Thanksgiving for a grand total of ZERO FUCKING DOLLARS! Oh, and they have dedicated servers.

One of the most popular sleeping positions when traveling. The head is tilted to a side resting on a window, seat belt, pillow, etc. Resembles a position you would make with your head when eating a taco. Results in neck pain and a really shitty nap.

For this month's meeting we have a change of venue, just across the
road from the Santa Clara Auditorium, we will be meeting in SCA07,
known as the Mansion. This is a very special venue, and I will remind
our community that we will be using one of California historical
buildings, no different than the auditorium, but this is where the
Governor stayed when he visited the Agnew campus. Sun did a wonderful
job at restoring this building, and we would like to ensure that we
are able to continue using it in the future. As such, please help us
"tread lightly" inside.
The rooms are smaller in the Mansion, but there are more than one, so
we can spread out if needed. The intent is that it will be easier to
manage the lighting for the video and hold the meeting in a different,
intimate setting. The alarm can't be disarmed, so you will need to
knock on the door and one of us will open it for you. The Mansion is
located almost directly across from the Santa Clara Auditorium, in the
smaller building located to the left of the large structure directly
across the street. Use the same parking along Palm, and in the parking
lots. The Mansion also has an ice machine in the kitchen, where we can
host the beverages and snacks for the meeting.
The first presentation will be given by Jonathan Chew and Sasha
Kolbasov, explaining Project Nitro. Project Nitro was a performance
project to speed up the builds, to better parellelize the build
process to use the system more efficiently. Build times have dropped
down on x86 and sparc both, and I'll let Jonathan and Sasha give real
world numbers. I'm seeing about 15-20 percent improvement on x86 and
more on sparc myself.
Jonathan and Sasha will explain to you how they went about this
project, which is most applicable to many processes on OpenSolaris
where similar improvements could also be achieved.
We will be broadcasting over the web through ustream, and you can get
the embedded window on the SVOSUG project page of OpenSolaris.org.
Please join us over the web if you can't make it in person.
When: Thursday, April 24, 2008
Where: Sun's Santa Clara Campus Auditorium (SCA07, the Mansion)
What: Project Nitro, better performance with better parellelization
Time: 7:30pm-10:00pm
Google Maps:
Web: [url]http://opensolaris.org/os/project/svosug/[/url]
Hope to see you there, and if not, hope you see us!

Huskers Hoping to Eliminate the 'Guesswork'
Defensive coordinator John Papuchis talked after practice Tuesday about the linebacker position, one that certainly needs addressing after the Nebraska defense gave up 219 yards on the ground to Wyoming.
Papuchis said he would have liked to see more Zaire Anderson, but Wyoming's 4-wide offensive sets were more conducive to Nebraska's dime packages with Mo Seisay and Nate Gerry.
"I'd like to see Zaire have a bigger role this week," he said. "That's going to be dictated by what kind of personnel grouping we're seeing from Southern Miss. You have to have some guys out there that can cover wideouts. Zaire can in certain situations, so his role I'd like to see increase."
True freshman linebacker Josh Banderas will also continue to see playing time, according to Papuchis. He wanted more time to play Banderas other than a few series and on special teams, but the coaches didn't exactly have Wyoming where they wanted on the scoreboard.
"The game wasn't ever comfortable enough where we were that eager to put in a freshman, but we finally kind of bit the bullet there in the fourth quarter."
After Bo Pelini stated Monday that the gap between starting middle linebacker David Santos and Banderas is slim, Papuchis reiterated that he'll see more time versus Southern Miss.
"We have a lot of confidence in [Banderas] whether we're up 16 or up three. As it turned out in the end, he did a pretty good job."
Els also said redshirt freshman Michael Rose could make an appearance Saturday.
–When it comes to game planning for the Eagles, Papuchis said it'll be easier than planning for Wyoming in the season opener in certain areas.
"You run the fine line of preparing for too much and overwhelming your guys with information, and in some cases not preparing enough, and there's a lot of guesswork involved," he said.
Despite having a first year head coach in Todd Monken, Papuchis said he's got a good idea of how to scout Southern Miss.
"I don't know what they kept in reserve and what they didn't, but I think I have a pretty good idea of who they are based on what we saw the other day."
Papuchis said he sees "subtle differences" between the the Eagles offense and the offense Monken ran as offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State.
–Special teams coordinator Ross Els was impressed with the Nebraska special teams Saturday, and he judged by the opener last season against Southern Miss. The Eagles took a kickoff to the house for a touchdown last season, but Els was happy with the opener this year.
"We fired about half the guys because you can drill it all you want, you can go live, but until you can see who really can do a good job of it, or reading it, and really wants to make the play, game experience is huge," he said. "That group did a good job. I think we have the right guys on there."
–Freshman Nate Gerry made his first appearance to the media as a Husker Tuesday after practice. In his first appearance on the field, Gerry finished third on the team with five total tackles against Wyoming and a quarterback hurry from the dime linebacker position.
Gerry said he's getting comfortable in the versatile role of a hybrid position.
"The first time they transitioned me to linebacker it was tough," Gerry said. "I was frustrated for the first couple days. They threw me in with the ones right away and I didn't know what I was doing at all. Coach Papuchis sat me down in the meeting room and we kind of went over it and it was a slow process for me at first, but I'm excited because I signed the paper to play football here, and any way I can get on the field is what I'll do."
–Randy Gregory addressed his phantom sack Tuesday, which was taken away after officials called a penalty for roughing the passer.
"I don't know what to say about it, in my book it's a sack. I've never been called for rouging the passer on a sack before," Gregory said
–Gerry mentioned that the upcoming game against South Dakota State is probably the game he's most looking forward to.
"I know a lot of people in South Dakota are rooting for me, but now I don't know who they're going to be rooting for," he said.
–Els said Nebraska has changed its punt protection unit to more of a 3-man shield formation, which allows more chances for coverage later in the play. Els also commended Kenny Bell and Josh Mitchell for their play on special teams against Wyoming.
"There's two starters that want to be on special teams. That's fun. That's a great example for the rest of our team," he said.

WASHINGTON — The two supermarket chains involved in current major acquisitions are trying to catch the increasingly pro-merger wave at the Federal Trade Commission. Both A&P, which wants to acquire Pathmark Stores, and Whole Foods Market, which has a tender offer to buy all outstanding shares of Wild Oats Markets, have in their favor the business-friendly Bush administration. Over its two terms, the Bush FTC has become increasingly open to arguments that mergers, even when they result ...

Child's fantasy world comes to life in Step on a Crack beginning Nov. 6 at MLP Children and adults alike will be transformed into a world of imaginary friends and the seriousness of family dynamics as seen through the eyes of a child during the Theatre Department's production of "Step on a Crack" by Susan Zeder, Friday, Saturday, and Nov.13 at 7 p.m., and Sunday and Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. in the Marjorie Lyons Playhouse. The cast includes Lorna Dopson, Leah Tennyson, Andrew Jarboe, Sean Brazeel, Merwin McCrady, and Lauren Morrison. Directed by Centenary student Shannon Stoddard, "Step on a Crack" revolves around Ellie Murphy, a young girl, who lives happily with her widowed father, Max. They go bowling and eat TV dinners. Ellie also loves to play with junk. Life changes for Ellie when her dad remarries and suddenly she has to share him with her new stepmother. To cope and escape her problems, Ellie and her imaginary friends launch into a fantasy world. They pretend they are breaking out of prison, meeting Cinderella and Snow White, and enacting Ellie's own funeral where "everyone is really sorry for all the mean things they did" to her. Only by running away and discovering what it is really like to be alone does Ellie begin to come to terms with herself and her own need for connection with her very real parents. As a student director, Stoddard has learned that the process is much harder than she thought, but praises her actors. "Directing my actors is great. They take direction really well and go along with me even when sometimes I don't make sense. I love that they are always willing to play with me and remember what it was like to be a child." She also praises her production team for their effort, but finds her biggest challenge in the technical side of the production. "I've never before had to design a set, pick the colors or try to choose music to underscore my show. Everything's a learning experience and I hope that this isn't my last time to direct!" Stoddard adds that the show is great for all audiences and she encourages parents to bring their children. "I like that the show is very positive and upbeat and great for the whole family to come see." Tickets cost $10 for adults, $7 for Students, military and senior citizens. Tickets are free for Centenary students, faculty, and staff. The MLP Box office is open daily from noon until 4 p.m. For more information, please call 318.869.5242.

Neuroscience majors visit Chicago to present research Several Centenary College students had the opportunity recently to take part in a premier venue for neuroscientists to share research findings and experience cutting-edge research when they attended the Society for Neuroscience's 39th Annual meeting, Neuroscience 2009. Held October 17-21st in Chicago, Ill., the event drew more than 30,500 neuroscientists from around the globe, and is the world's largest conference devoted specifically to neuroscience and neurological research. Mark Moehle Marco Rajo Neuroscience majors John Cefalu, Mark Moehle and Marco Rajo presented their research at the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience (FUN) poster session. The three student's presentations were among the 14,700 posters and 1,700 talks given during the four-day event. Research presented by the Centenary students was quite diverse. John Cefalu presented new findings related to macular degeneration in his poster Expression Studies of Hu-Cox-2-Luc promoters in ARPE-19 cells. Mark Moehle discussed his ongoing project, The Effects of Methamphetamine Self-administration and Withdrawal on Aggression in Male Rats. Marco Rajo's project, Protein Kinase M Zeta (PKM?) a Modulator of Light-Induced Phase Shifts, examined the molecular regulators of circadian timing in mice. "Students who have the opportunity to present their data at a national meeting like the Society for Neuroscience conference, gain firsthand experience with the excitement of science," said Dr. Greg Butcher, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience. "This year our students were able to hear talks by a noble laureate, leading experts on memory, circadian timing, neurodegenerative disease, and two professional magicians, Apollo Robbins and Eric Mead. The latter two discussed how neuroscience research into attention and false memory is beginning to catch up to century old knowledge most professional magicians take for granted."

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign is obsessed with the women's vote. The day after Rick Santorum dropped out of the race, Romney's campaign issued five press releases in three hours claiming President Obama's economic record has failed women, four of them highlighting remarks by female Republican politicians.
It might be a good strategy if the women's vote existed.
Romney and the Republican National Committee argue that Obama's energy policy is making women pay higher gas prices; that his economic policy is disproportionately costing them jobs; that the Obama White House pays female aides less than male ones.

Vann makes the headlines
There was an excellent article in Sunday's Observer newspaper that is well worth clicking the link to read. It focuses on the youngest Britons to climb Everest, Rob Gauntlett and James Hooper. Gauntlett died while climbing in the Alps, at the age of 21, and Hooper found himself in debt and struggling to deal with the death of his climbing partner and close friend. So far, so quality Sunday newspaper story. And the author of the article? None other than writer David Vann. (more…)

What Are You Doing For National Farmers Market Week?
Every time I explore a farmers market I become a kid again. It brings back memories of snacking on sun-ripened figs from my backyard with dad or squeezing for perfectly ripe tomatoes at the neighborhood farm stand with mom. The existence, uniqueness and vibrancy of farmers markets can be a positive experience full of exploration and deliciousness for any age. It sure is for me.

UN Global Compact and UNEP Convene First Meeting of 'Caring for Climate' Initiative
21 October 2008: Representatives of over 150 corporations,
civil society organizations, governments and UN agencies gathered in Geneva,
Switzerland, on 21 October 2008, for the first meeting of signatories to
'Caring for Climate,' a voluntary global action platform jointly launched in
2007 by the UN Global Compact, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the
World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
The meeting aimed
to produce business insights and develop a shared path forward in support of an
effective post-Kyoto policy framework on climate change. A recent survey among
Caring for Climate signatories reveals that a majority of signatories are
optimistic about their ability to develop the internal capacity to set targets
and reduce climate impact, while expecting similar leadership from governments,
long-term plans for emission reductions, and increased investments in
low-carbon technologies. [UN Press Release]

Britax understands that moms want a stroller to be more than just a stroller. We use a stroller every where that we go. We want it to match our style, our personality. Yes, baby blue might be cute, but it doesn't say anything about my style. The B-READY stroller has been transformed into a chic accessory.
You can now purchase the B-READY in a variety of colors including bright copper, mossy green and slate gray! I love it!
These are the same colors I have throughout my house. From the mossy green to a brick red, my house goes outside the normal "neutral" colors and adds a range of color. I think incorporating these into a stroller is a smart idea!
I am pretty sad my kids are too old for strollers now. This would be be so much better than the turquoise and black polka dot stroller my son had. I think I could have even gotten my husband to push this stroller around. It's hard to get the men to be on board with pushing around a stroller that is just….a stroller. These new colors of the B-READY are fashionable and trendy, not to mention functional and safe.
Besides being chic, the B-READY stroller features foam-filled rubber tires and four-point suspension to provide a smooth ride. Baby can comfortably and safely ride from age 6 months (or from birth, when used with an infant car seat) up to 55 pounds. The top-selling single modular stroller supports growing families with its integrated CLICK & GO system. It easily converts into 14 configurations that can carry one or two children using any combination of the top seat, 2nd seat, bassinet and infant car seats (sold separately). Additionally, its reversible top seat accommodates four recline positions.
Where to buy:
You can purchase the Britax B-READY stroller online or at retailers nationwide (MSRP: $499.99)!

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa is fighting criminal charges against two administrators filed by a fired professor in his native country of Jordan.
University spokesman Tom Moore says the charges against associate medical school dean Lois Geist and former dean Paul Rothman are baseless and part of a harassment campaign by fired radiology professor Malik Juweid.
Juweid claims Geist called him and said that she and Rothman could have him killed if he pursued a civil lawsuit. [look at the picture of Associate Medical School Dean Lois Geist above -- do you think she would have threatened Malik Juweid,would have said "we can have you killed"? How plausible is that?]
Moore says Geist hasn't initiated contact with Juweid since he left the U.S. in 2011. Geist and Rothman plan to skip a court hearing Sunday in Amman.
Moore says the university has retained a Jordanian lawyer, and questions how two Americans who've never been to Jordan can be subject to its courts.
Why was Malik Juweid dismissed? It must have been something serious, for he had tenure. This is what I have found:
"UI President Sally Mason in August fired Juweid, then a tenured radiology professor, after an internal UI panel found he compromised patient confidentiality and acted inappropriately toward co-workers. Juweid had been on paid leave since 2011."
Juweid's suit was dismissed in November -- seeing it was about to be thrown out anyway, Juweid then apparently "asked" that it be dismissed -- and no doubt fooled the University of Iowa into thinking it had heard the last of him. But then Juweid sued the university, preposterously, in Jordan, where Juweid now lives and where he hoped to have Muslim v. Infidel justice done. The University of Iowa, of course, has nothing to do with Jordan, and all of the acts which led to Juweid's dismissal took place in Iowa. End of jurisdictional story, and no need to solemnly juggle in rem and in personam as one is compelled to, yaningly, in first-year courses in Civil Procedure.
Juweid can't believe it; he thought tenure meant he could get away with absolutely anything, and everything. And so he's run off to Jordan to try his luck.
Perhaps the University of Iowa should now sue -- in a court in Iowa -- Malik Juweid. Make him pay. He's still got his house, after all. Let him lose everything. Make of him an exemplary lesson. Then he can move back to Jordan.

Wigan's Josh McEachran (left) in action against Manchester City's Sergio Aguero during their FA Cup quarter-final match at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, Britain, yesterday.
LONDON: Second-tier Wigan Athletic stunned Manchester City in the FA Cup for the second season running with a shock 2-1 quarter-final victory at a disbelieving Etihad Stadium yesterday.
City, newly crowned League Cup champions, were bidding to avenge their 1-0 defeat in last season's final, but instead it was the holders -- managed by former City striker Uwe Rosler -- who advanced to a last-four date with Arsenal. Jordi Gomez gave Wigan the lead with a 27th-minute penalty after Martin Demichelis fouled Marc Antoine-Fortune and James Perch made it 2-0 within seconds of kick-off in the second half.
Samir Nasri pulled a goal back for City with 22 minutes remaining, but the Championship side -- relegated within days of last season's final -- withstood heavy pressure from the hosts to record another famous FA Cup win.
The Etihad was buoyant after City's 3-1 win over Sunderland in last weekend's League Cup final, but the home fans were silenced in the 27th minute when Wigan took the lead. A neat turn took Fortune past Demichelis on the Wigan left and after the Argentine brought him down, Gomez sent goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon the wrong way from the penalty spot.
City's frustration was evident, with Nasri booked for kicking the ball away, and Wigan extended their lead early in the second half when Perch stole in front of Gael Clichy to tuck in a low cross from James McArthur.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini reacted by sending on James Milner, David Silva and Edin Dzeko, and the latter came within a whisker of equalising in the 64th minute with a header that hit the post. The hosts continued to push, though, and four minutes later Nasri dragged them back into the tie with a left-foot shot from outside the box that skidded into the bottom-right corner.
City threw everything at Wigan in the closing stages, with Emmerson Boyce producing an extraordinary goal-line block to thwart Dzeko, but Wigan held on by the skin of their teeth.
Earlier, Hull City and giant-killers Sheffield United set up an unlikely semi-final showdown after coming through their respective quarter-final ties.
Hull defeated Premier League rivals Sunderland 3-0 at the KC Stadium to reach the last four for the first time since 1930, while third-tier United overcame Charlton Athletic.
Hull's Sone Aluko saw a first-half penalty saved by Sunderland goalkeeper Oscar Ustari, but three goals in nine minutes from Curtis Davies, David Meyler and Matty Fryatt in the second period gave the hosts victory.
"I've just seen the draw and it's a great one," said Hull manager Steve Bruce, who twice won the trophy as a player with Manchester United.
"Sheffield United have had a wonderful run and beaten every team put in front of them.
"But you have got to be honest -- you want to avoid the big boys and I'm sure Sheffield United will be thinking the same having drawn us."
Sheffield United continued their remarkable journey in the FA Cup by upsetting second-tier Charlton 2-0 at Bramall Lane. Managed by Nigel Clough, son of legendary former Nottingham Forest manager Brian, the Blades became the first team from the third tier to reach the last four since Wycombe Wanderers in 2001.AFP
