Josep Maria Sert
Josep Maria Sert i Badia (Catalan pronunciation: [ʒuˈzɛb məˈɾi.ə ˈsɛrt]) (Barcelona, 21 December 1874 – 27 November 1945, buried in the Vic cathedral) was a Spanish muralist, the son of an affluent textile industry family and friend of Salvador Dalí.[1] He was particularly known for his grisaille style, often in gold and black.
Complementing his knowledge in Paris[edit]
Beginning on his trip to Paris in 1899, aged 25, he first became involved on a personal and private level with artists ascribed to the group known as Les Nabis, gravitating around Paul Ranson (1864–1909), who had studied at the renowned private Académie Julian, founded in 1868 by painter Rodolphe Julian. The Académie Julian, along with Académie Colarossi, were frequented by would-be foreign painters, engravers and sculptors, both male and female, including Americans, and, unlike the official École des Beaux Arts, accepted female students and allowed them to draw from the nude male mode. Many of the nude models gracing today millionaires' residences and the world's museums came, either as students or models or both, from such private, none-too-prudish Paris art schools.
Notes on Sert's private life[edit]
Sert married the well-known Misia Godebska, a.k.a. Misia Sert, (born Maria Zofia Olga Zenajda Godebska; 30 March 1872 – 1950), a pianist of Polish descent who hosted an artistic salon in Paris. She was a patron and friend of numerous artists, for whom she regularly posed. Her father, Cyprian Godebski (1835–1909), was a renowned Polish sculptor and professor at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg from 1870. Her mother, Zofia Servais, was the daughter of a noted Belgian cellist, Adrien-François Servais.
But after a few years, in 1928, he left her for the sculptress Isabelle Roussadana Mdivani (1906–1938), a.k.a. Roussie, sister of the famous Serge, Alexis, David, and Nina, the 5 siblings from a Georgian-Russian Nobility family emigrated after the Russian Revolution in 1917, known in Paris as the "Marrying Mdivani", because of the notorious marriages they achieved with moneyed and prestigious people from Europe and America.
Locations of Sert's works[edit]
Best-known public murals are in the Hôtel de Ville in Paris[citation needed], the Cathedral of Vic in Barcelona, the League of Nations in Geneva and, in New York City, at the Waldorf-Astoria and 30 Rockefeller Center, the GE Center. There, his "American Progress" replaced Diego Rivera's mural Man at the Crossroads, which Nelson Rockefeller destroyed because it included an image of Lenin. [1].

Acapulco and the corruption
... can not express how much we were not bothered by this or that we taint people with the same brush because of the group they belong to but it was rather ironic considering the week before I left Mexico for the summer Kike and myself were approached by some lovely ladies in Mexico City that then proceeded to accuse Kike of being a woman beater (we still have no idea why!) and attacked him, 6 of them! The food was amazing and freshly cooked and definitely recommended if ...

They have been diving here since 1934 and timing is everything, as we heard that the water is only around 2-4 metres deep so they must time their dive with an incoming wave. It's absolutely insane!

Today we spent the day sailing down the coast of Mexico. From our map, we are off the coast of Acapulco. No port stops today as we are heading to Guatamala, which takes two nights and two days sailing to arrive. The waters are very calm and the sailing very smooth. We are both very relaxed and Johnny is enjoying the variety of foods on board.

Jon Jones & Daniel Cormier Brawl At UFC Las Vegas Press Conference [Video]
UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier got into a huge brawl at the MGM Grand Garden Arena today (August 4), that needed multiple people to separate the two.
During the traditional staredown part of the press conference, Jones got a little too close by pitting his forehead on Cormier's. That's when round one started right in the middle of the lobby, as the two continuously threw haymakers at each other.
The two have been involved in a heated feud for the past few years as they anticipated a big fight against each other.
This incident could result in a suspension or fine from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
UFC 178 is scheduled to occur on September 27, 2014.

Dancing is a great activity for all ages and ability levels that has universal appeal, and reminds people that exercise can be fun! Although dance-inspired workouts are not entirely new, with the growing popularity of shows such as "Dancing with the Stars" and "So You Think You Can Dance," dance-based classes have been all the rage in 2009. From ballet to bollywood, there are a variety of dance styles to choose from, each of which provides an assortment of physiological and psychological benefits.
The Benefits of Dance
Dancing can serve as a great form of aerobic exercise, providing cardiovascular conditioning which the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) reports can help lower your risk of coronary heart disease, decrease blood pressure, and also aid in weight management efforts. Dancing is also a weight-bearing activity, which can improve bone density (and thereby reduce the risk of osteoporosis) as well as improve muscle strength, coordination and balance.
In addition to the physiological benefits mentioned above, dancing has also been shown to provide an assortment of psychological benefits as well. Given the fact that dancing serves as an enjoyable and engaging form of physical activity, many individuals find that it helps to reduce stress and chronic fatigue, improve energy and mood, and increase self-esteem and confidence. In addition, research has shown that dancing can play an important role in successful aging, as well as improve memory. A study done by the New England Journal of Medicine found that dancing is associated with a lower risk of dementia.
Getting Started
With a variety of dance styles and classes out there, it is important to select a form of dance that is in line with your goals, personal preferences and current fitness level. Before beginning a dance class (especially one which includes high impact movements), it is important to focus on improving balance and flexibility, two important factors which will enable you to accelerate, decelerate, and stabilize your body quickly and efficiently while dancing. Starting with a beginner level class and progressing in time to a more advanced class will help to minimize the risk of injury and also provide you with a more enjoyable and successful experience.
From ballroom dance and cultural dance, to the PC-based exer-game Dancetown and the popular dance video game known as Dance Dance Revolution, the benefits of dancing are undeniable. And when it comes to caloric burn, the numbers speak for themselves. For rhythmic dances, such as the foxtrot or waltz, a 160-pound person will burn an estimated 130 calories in 30 minutes. For more intense styles of dance such as the salsa, the number of calories burned doubles to approximately 250 calories in 30 minutes, which is comparable to performing a light jog for the same duration.
Interested in finding out how many calories you can burn by doing aerobic dance? Check out our activity calculator.

Here is a NEW Adaptation from "The Making of Outlander" by Tara Bennett from Vanity Fair
From Vanity Fair :
For two decades, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander novels existed exclusively on the page and in readers' heads. Fans had free license to imagine their own Claires, Jamies, Murtaghs, et al., mentally casting and re-casting based on Diana's descriptions, celebrity crushes, or doppelgänger acquaintances until the cows came home. As with any beloved book or series, everyone has their own mental picture of what those characters look like. And suddenly the show's producers and the series's casting team had to find real-life actors to be the public, official face of those characters, shouldering a Mount Everest–size burden of fan expectation.

The steamy Scotland-set Sony series from Moore, 52, ranks among cable's best performers with women; it broke through with three 2016 Golden Globe noms and nabbed a rare two-season renewal.
The star I'd love to cast in a recurring role "Tom Cruise. His career has been exclusively in features, and I think that developing an ongoing character over the course of a long-running series would be an enormous opportunity for both him and a show."

Why not select GWB the Great?The Will of God not being entirely clear has been noticed before the Vatican meeting :-)
An American cardinal in Rome hinted Sunday hinted at the difficulty of deciding who should be the next pope, saying the papal conclave was a time when the will of God is not entirely clear.
Chicagos archbishop, Cardinal Francis George, asked for help and prayers as he and 114 other cardinals prepared to enter the papal conclave to elect a successor to Pope Benedict XVI.
I ask you for your prayer to help the Holy Spirit to be present among us to open our hearts and our minds to what is the will of God for his people throughout the world," he told reporters after saying mass at the local church assigned to him during his stay in Rome.
He would be a "fantastic pope"!!
He has all the qualities to be a Pope, I do not know about Honest Smile though, but he can smile a Hypocritic grin all day!!
And being a Pope does not require too much burden, mostly ceremonial position.
Just keep of apologizing for past mistakes, till your time is up.

PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) said Tuesday it will cut about 9,000 jobs and take $1 billion in charges over three years as the company consolidates and automates its commercial data centers.
The company said the job cuts will be the result of productivity gains and automation in the data centers, which are clusters of computers that HP's business customers tap into to store data, run software and perform other tasks. HP has data centers around the work and did not specify which locations will see cuts.
The cuts will be made over three years and amount to 3% of HP's global work force of 304,000 employees as of October 2009, the most recent figure available. The company said it plans to replace two-thirds of those jobs, hiring 6,000 people to boost its global sales and delivery staff.
READ: HP's news release
Once it is completed, HP says the changes will result in savings of about $500 million to $700 million a year.
HP, which is based in Palo Alto, California, said it will take $1 billion in charges, about half of it in the current quarter and the rest by October 2013, the end of its fiscal year. The charges, which are largely for severance expenses, will be excluded from the company's adjusted earnings results.
HP said the commercial data centers will help its corporate clients run their businesses faster and more efficiently. Ann Livermore, executive vice president for HP Enterprise Business, said the company is confident its actions will "provide a foundation for growth for the next 10 years."
"We believe that these sets of actions will enable HP to grow better than the market," she said in a conference call with analysts.
Standard & Poor's equity analyst Tom Smith applauded HP's latest actions, calling them the "next step toward efficiency gains" after the initial integration of EDS.
HP, the world's biggest maker of PCs and printers, and the top technology company by revenue, has been working to expand its business in other areas as PC profit margins are usually thin. The company bought Electronic Data Systems, a rival of IBM (IBM) in 2008. And it is pushing into the mobile market with its acquisition of struggling smart phone maker Palm, announced in April.

My first planted tank 46g bow
After many years of fish keeping, I finally going to start my first planted tank, so excited!
I bought the tank from Petland and the stand from Petco, it's the lowest price combination I could find. The quality can't compare to those rimless tank and custom made stand for sure, but it's acceptable and I only spent total of $285 so I'm happy with that, LOL.
I read a lot threads on substrates, there are mix opinions on all substrates, the more I read the more I didn't know what should I get. Till one day Petco had eco-complete for $16 a bag, I bought that so I don't have to keep thinking. I have some cories and I know they like sand so I decided to make river/beach for the cories. I wanted to use rocks to separate the sand and substrate, the rocks are lot more expensive than I thought at the LFS, luckily I found the rocks at my last stop of LFS for a pretty low price. I'm just hoping these rocks wouldn't change the PH.
So I finally started fishless cycle after the tank sat there for more than 2 weeks and here it is the river, I might make the back more narrow to give it a little more depth of view.
For the light which is I think it's the most important part of a planted tank, I really want to use LED but I don't have skill/time/space to do it so I'm waiting for the Marineland LED for plants. If doesn't come out next month or it's over my budget then I will just go for clam lamps.
I didn't do much of readings on plants, I want to use Hemianthus Golomeratus as foreground plant. I might decide what other plants I will get after I got the light.
Any thoughts, comments and suggestion are welcome!
Thanks for checking out.:)
DIY LED light
5/27 transferred filter and fish
If your not sure about a rock changing ph just put a drop of vinegar on it and if it bubbles then it does. This looks like a good start so far. I don't know much about plants either but when I was setting up my tank I got an idea of what kind of look in nature I wanted to recreate and went looking for plants that would match that look at my LFS. I would probably put some more hardscape on the sides of the river too so that the plants have something to work with.
It looks nice, I wish I had a stand.
I'll take a rock out and test it tonight. I have a driftwood in my old tank, once this one is ready I will transfer it over. I think I will put it on top of the river.
Got to start study on the plants now, so by the time the tank is ready I can have the plants ready too.
if you want a good led light and dont want to wait on the marineland one check out aquaray grobeam 500, Ive had one for two years now and I love it. Also I considered the ecoxotic stunner led strips. I cant imagine the marineland plant light will be priced much lower.
I will wait at least a couple more weeks since I have to wait for the tank cycling anyway but aquaray grobeam 500 I'll take a look at it, didn't see anyone mention this light before but if you used for two years and it's working well for you then I believe it's good.
Finally I got myself a DIY LED light for my tank.
Got some java jerns from a friend bought some plants here, there are some guppy fries in the tank but I haven't transferred my fishes from old tank. I want to let the plants grow a little bit or add some more before the transfer.
Also Ph in the new tank is 7.6, I think it's the stones increase the Ph but I tested them with vinegar and didn't see reaction. My old tank Ph is 6.5 and I like to lower the new tank below 7 without removing the stones.
Looking good
I thought the tank looked empty so I went out to the LFS and got a few more plants. It looks better now
This is looking good. The new plants definitely fill it out more
Thanks J! I think I will leave them as is and see how they grow for a couple weeks.
I transferred 2 guppies over, they were extremely stressed in the new tank which I was totally unexpected. You can actually see them hiding on the top right corner. They seem to be doing better last night, I saw them swam to the plants, hope they will be more comfortable by tonight.
this look really nice. i like the way you made a road with the white substrate
Thank you:red_mouth
My wife loves cories and cories love sand so i reserved a spot for the cories.
Bought a new plant yesterday and in 24 hours more than 10 leafs fell already, hope it will recover...
If you have enough light you should put dwarf hairgrass (Eleocharis parvula) in the foreground :)
I don't really know how much light I have, LOL
I will take it step by step, want to see how these plants do for a couple weeks first.

Second Ethics Complaint vs Sen De Lima Surfaces, But Likely to be Dismissed
A second ethics complaint vs Senator Leila de Lima has been recently filed at the Senate, after the first one was not resolved due to conflict of jurisdiction. This latest case filed against Sen. De Lima comes as a House hearing on justice is on-going, where witnesses claim that she was involved in illegal drugs trade inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP).
"I haven't seen it. The committee just informed me that somebody came over last night with a new complaint," Senate Majority Leader Vicente "Tito" Sotto told reporters this Wednesday, September 21. Incidentally, Sen "Tito" Sotto is also the Chairman of the Ethics Committee that tackled the first ethics complaint against Sen. De Lima last week.
That case was filed by a lawyer Abelardo de Jesus, who based his complaint on the President Duterte's allegations that Sen. De Lima was involved in drug trade inside the Bilibid when she was still the DOJ (Department of Justice) Secretary. However, the committee members had an disagreement on the jurisdiction aspect of the case.

Meanwhile, Sen. Sotto said he still do not know as who filed the second ethics complaint vs De Lima that he received last night, noting that he will still wait that all committee members have read their copies before they discussed it on the Senate panel. He emphasized that the jurisdiction issue of the first complaint will still be discussed.
But this early, ethics committee member Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson said that he is likely to suggest that the second ethics complaint be dismissed. According to the former PNP chief, he has read his copy and learned that the said complaint is based on the event that happened in 2015, when De Lima was still the DOJ secretary, just like the first one.

Apparently, Sen. Lacson's statement came shortlty after he and Sen.Sotto said the evidence and testimonies during the House inquiry against Sen. de Lima are "strong." Lacon even concluded that a warrant for her arrest might be issued to her. As a response, Sen. De Lima questioned Lacson, and dubbed his statements as "doublespeak."

"I'm going to take care of you," I whispered as I carried him back to my house. My long, jet black tail flicked up - my fifth limb - to stroke the man comfortingly.
He flinched and moaned slightly, hanging limply in my arms. My heart gave a strangled sob at his frailty.
"Oh dear. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I hope you don't mind the fact I'm half-panther..."
"Your race..." he murmured, surprising me. "I'm used to it... hurt... no. No hurt." His voice was high and light - beautiful in fact - as he coughed slightly, his eyes flickering open.
"Oh my gosh! You're awake," I exclaimed. "Are you okay?! I was so worried. I thought you were going to die!" Some deep part of me was ecstatically happy that there was more of a chance that he was going to be okay.
"I will heal," he coughed again."I just need rest."
"Yes, you do," I said in concern. Was it safe for someone to be so pale? I thought not."You can have my bed tonight. I'll sleep on the sofa."
"Y-you're too kind... name?" The strain was evident in his voice. The ommitted words just worried me further.
"Corelle," I replied, hoping the anxiety wasn't too evident in my tone. "And yours?"
"What a nice name... It reminds me of a person I knew once... many moons ago... called Lune." I sighed, remembering the feel of velvet-soft hair under my fingers and breath condensing on my skin before the touch of warm lips on my own .
He nodded. "I can feel you... y'know," he murmured, "your emotions."
I snapped out of my reverie, startled. No, I didn't know. "You what?!"
"A human, any human or human-hybrid. I can feel their emotions... I help, I heal too." His eyes flickered and he swayed slightly in my arms, "I- I'm a unicorn... you know that."
"I know.... but I don't know much else about you. And what do you mean you can help? Do you go around fixing people?" I hoped that I didn't sound rude in my inquisitiveness.
"People come into the forest when they feel down. I help them." He helped them. Wow... Actually, part of me wasn't surprised.
"Wow,... that's so lovely of you." A tear slid down my cheek and landed on his face. I was one ... how shall I put it? Easily touched and prone to being over-emotional. It didn't help that I had been thinking of Lune. "Oops, sorry." I wiped the tear away with my tail.
"It's what I was born for, I have no choice. I have the heart of a unicorn and the blood too."
"No choice?" I was surprised by his words. Surely it was a good thing that he could help people. "That makes it sound like you wouldn't do it if you didn't have to," I told him.
"It's hard, seeing so much sorrow every day... I'm sorry, I can't talk... I feel so tired." He suddenly went limp again. I staggered under sudden weight, though only for a brief while.
"Oh my goodness!" I exclaimed.
I hurried back through the entrance to the city and to my house. I opened the door with my tail and carried the man upstairs. I laid him on my bed, gently moving the hair that had fallen out of his eyes. It didn't seem right somehow that he should look anything other than serene and graceful.
I fetched a flannel and filled a bowl with warm water. Sitting beside him, I tenderly mopped his brow.
Gratifyingly, he began to stir slightly. I put the flannel down and stroked his shoulder. Maybe that would cause him to wake up.
He woke up and moaned "Ugh...oh."
"Sh, it's okay," I murmured soothingly. "You're in my house. You fainted. I'm going to look after you." The words came out in the wrong order but I was more concerned with Mune's condition than the structure of my sentences.
"What do you do... work?" he asked.
"What do I do for work? I teach. Well, not teach really. I do a Creative Writing extension course up at the local high school."
"I'll help, to repay you," he told me.
"No, no, no. You don't have to repay me," I insisted.
"Shh," he whispered, "I do."
"No, you shush," I said laughing. "You don't have to do anything."
"I can't sit around all the time; it could be weeks before I get back to my original life." I didn't think I cared. I wanted to spend weeks with him.
"Then I'll stay at home and nurse you. The school can cope without me."
"I don't need nursing, I'm healed."
"Already?" I asked, a little sadly. I had looked forward to getting to know this guy/ unicorn. Of course, I wasn't unhappy that he was better but it just decreased the time I had with him.
"Yes, unicorn blood. Remember?" His tone was to me a little tiresome...
I nodded disconsolately. "I still want to stay with you."
"Don't be silly. Go, you have a life. And I haven't seen this town in years."
"I don't want to go," I said. "I've had enough of boring old Coldstone. Don't get the wrong idea but you're the first interesting thing that's happened to me..." I trailed off. Since Lune, I finished in my head.
"Go," he urged as he rose to his feet. "I want to see Coldstone again."
"You sit back down, mister," I ordered. "You're not ready to go out yet. I don't care what you say."
"Nor do I, what you. Excuse me," he winced and left my bedroom.
"You just winced!" I exclaimed in disbelief. "Get back on the bed or I will pin you down in my panther-form."
"I winced because I hate being cruel to humans, and I'm sorry for being impolite, but please..."
He began to walk downstairs. I followed him, wanting more than anything for him to return to the room I had installed him in. A very bad part of me wanted him to collapse.
He reached the front door.
"Why are you so desperate to go?" In a very depressed tone, I asked "Why are you so eager to be rid of my company?"
He paused. He had managed to open the door. "Because it's been over a thousand years since I have seen Coldstone. It's a very precious place and is very close to my heart," he said, before closing the door behind him.
Well, what a way to be rejected. I strode up to my room, slamming the door behind me. It wasn't as if I had helped him in any way. He had just used his unicorn blood. I had only carried him into my own house and put him on my bed so he had somewhere comfortable to lie during the process. Nah, I wasn't helpful at all!
I started to cry.
No! This was fine! I f he wanted to go out onto the streets and risk being attacked by violent youths, that was his choice. I wouldn't allow him to come running back to me either. Some people were just so ungrateful these days!
But still I continued to cry, and these tears were the last thing I felt before I fell asleep.

The threatened Knesset investigation of the New Israel Fund by the Israeli right has been halted, for now, following several angry phone calls to Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin from irate American Jewish communal leaders, warning that an Israeli investigation could backfire on other Jewish organizations involved in Israel. Abe Foxman of ADL is quoted telling the New York Jewish Week it was "absurd to blame Goldstone on the NIF." He told Barnea himself that the probe was "almost undemocratic."
(I had previously written mistakenly that Foxman had called Rivlin. My apologies.)
The nastiness of the attack and the determination of the attackers shouldn't be understated, though. The main victim, NIF president Naomi Chazan, a former deputy speaker of the Knesset, was summarily dropped without explanation as a columnist by the Jerusalem Post. She was also dropped as a visiting lecturer at a Jewish community event in Melbourne, Australia, to be co-sponsored by the Union for Progressive Judaism and the Zionist Council of Victoria (state), after the Zionist council pulled out. The Zionist council's chief was quoted in The Age, an Australian daily, as saying "we don't want to have anything to do" with the NIF. But the head of the Union for Progressive Judaism told another daily, The Australian, that the cancellation was a mutual decision between his group and Chazan "because both realised the controversy would detract from fund-raising." Uh-huh.
Also worth a read: This eloquent column, translated from Maariv, by the widely respected chairman of Meretz, Chaim "Jumas" Oron, warning that attacks of this sort on dissenters by free-lance bullies — right down to the Nazi-style caricatures of Jews with horns — are the first step down the slippery slope toward fascism.
Here's the Der Stuermer-style caricature of Chazan with horns that was run as a newspaper ad in the Jerusalem Post and carried as signs by protesters outside Chazan's home.
And this report about two Maariv reporters who publicly attacked their own newspaper for giving front page coverage to Im Tirtzu and effectively providing the launching pad for the sliming of NIF.

PS All-Stars Character Bio Project
Hi. I am making this thread to hopefully get some support from some people. Recently, I've been playing the beta for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PSASBR) a lot and I've decided I really want to make 6 character specific videos. These videos would consist of multiple things like simple combos, difficult combos, best moves, speed, power, knockback (stats in general), supers, etc. Basically everything that goes in to a character to make them unique.
I want to do this because I've made videos in the past, specifically "tips and tricks" like I want to do with this game. Not to advertise, but I have a few thousand subscribers on YouTube, as I used to make Call of Duty vids (hate all you want, lawl). I've grown tired of that recently and want to make some videos on this game. You will probably notice that not many people watch my videos lately because of the fact that I've basically stopped. This game motivates me to make more. For the sake of this post, my channel is www.youtube.com/user/x2Gunz
If you're willing to help, I could use some. I am pretty good with Sweet Tooth, and a couple of my friends have become good with Sly, aswell. Kratos is pretty obvious but I'm sure there's more to him than spamming square. Radec is also interesting, as he is spammable, but there is definitely more to him. The other 2 I know a little about, but help would be nice. Basically what I'm asking for here is for people to respond in this thread if you're willing to help. I want to get some people together to help me make 6 quality videos. If all goes well, I will probably also want to make character videos for all the others in the full game. If you want to help out and have Skype, add me (uadoublegunz). Another thing I may need help with is graphics for the background of the video and my thumbnails and stuff. I CAN do those on my own, I'm just not amazing at it. If there is someone out there willing to help with that, that would be amazing.
TL;DR I want to make 6 quality character bios, and I am asking for help with tips/graphics. If you're willing to help with either, add me on Skype at uadoublegunz
Hopefully I get some people that are interested.

text: The rainbow flag is universally recognized as a symbol for the LGBT movement, but it wasn't always that way. In the mid 1970s, gay activists took the pink triangle that was used to identify gay prisoners in Nazi concentration camps and resurrected it as a symbol of pride and triumph over oppression. Even so, the triangle had depressing origins, so when activists needed a banner for the 1978 Gay Freedom Day Parade in San Francisco, they called on San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker to create a new one. In the documentary "The Gay Betsy Ross," Baker recounted, "I didn't even think twice about what the flag would be. The rainbow fit us. It was from nature, it connects us to all the colors: all the colors of sexuality, all the diversity." Gilbert and 30 volunteers hand-dyed and hand-stitched two giant rainbow flags for the 1978 parade. Though the flag of today bears six colors, the original design had eight: pink for sex, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sun, green for nature, turquoise for magic, blue for serenity, and purple for the spirit. A shortage of fabric dye led Gilbert to eventually nix the pink stripe, and the turquoise stripe was removed soon after, creating the six-colored flag that we know today.

AOL to Become Brand Name History?
Wired's Epicenter asks a hard question today: "whither the AOL brand?"
The company, as a whole, has been in decline for some time now, due to an outdated business model and decentralized leadership. However, AOL, as a brand name, still holds a lot of leverage. "AOL is a high fast ball," Frankel says. "They have everything you need to make it a great brand besides a strategy," states Robert Frankel, a branding expert.
Instead of leveraging the established AOL brand, the company has been actively developing brands that do not include the AOL name, like TMZ.com or Truveo, and adding a new ad division called "Platform A."
These new developments seem to fit with AOL's new strategy of getting away from the Internet portal and instead becoming an online advertising giant. "You want to be there whether you're branded or not," said Kevin Conroy, executive vice president for products at AOL. What it comes down to, is that AOL executives either do not believe that the iconic AOL brand name is as important anymore, or they just do not have a branding strategy, which I doubt.
This is really just another argument about brand image. AOL's CEO Randy Falco sees AOL as a house of brands, like Proctor & Gamble. Falco also believes that the attributes attached to the AOL brand are not all positive.
However, the "You've Got Mail" announcement has become part of popular culture, and products, such as AIM (AOL Instant Messenger),which still hold most of the market share, in their respective markets.

"Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas' mission is to create an upscale, family-oriented environment to indulge our guests in an intimate, pampering experience that exceeds service expectations with high quality menu offerings in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere. By innovating, we have become industry leaders and have forever revolutionized the movie-going experience for years to come.
Cinépolis entered the U.S. market in 2011 debuting its
completely revolutionized movie theater concept with fully-reclining
leather seats, in-theater dining & waiter service, gourmet menu with
full bar, elegant lobby spaces and cutting-edge sound & projection
technology. Today, Cinépolis has some of the top performing theaters in
the country. With an aggressive growth strategy for the upcoming years,
Cinépolis plans to revolutionize the industry for years to come."
Personal Experience: I'm sure I'll get some flack for posting this spot but I'm gonna run with it. Our slogan does include "amazing" spots as well. For those who are not in the "in", Cinepolis is a luxury movie theater. That means gourmet food and drinks delivered to your mini living room lounge seats, plenty of leg room and far less people. I will go to the movies maaayybe once or twice a year, so if I'm going to do it I want it done right. That usually means the drive-in theater for me so I can have my privacy, but the opposite end of the spectrum is as nice. This would be a great way to impress a date and if you have the money to spend, you definitely need to have this experience.

Not only are two piece dresses on-trend right now, but they can also help your bridesmaids cut cost on alterations because they can choose a different size top and bottom if needed. Order Blake and Jo with us today!
Taking Your Measurements
For the most accurate measurements, do not measure over your clothing. Your measurements should be taken while wearing undergarments similar to the ones you will wear with your dress. The measuring tape shouldn't be pulled too tight or have too much slack, and should always be parallel with the floor.
**Wedding apparel is typically sized differently than retail clothing, so keep in mind that it's not uncommon to find yourself requiring alterations.
Bust size: Wrap the tape around your back and under your arms at the fullest part of your bust (not underneath the bust).
Waist size: While standing up straight, bend at the waist to one side. Take the measurement where the natural crease happens in your side. This should be a few inches above your belly button.
Hip size: Standing with your feet together, wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and butt to get this measurement.
Choosing your correct size
Compare these three measurements to the Kennedy Blue size chart above. It is very important that you order the largest size that corresponds to your measurements. For example, if your bust measures 40.5" (size 12), your waist measures 31" (size 10) and your hips measure 41.5" (size 8), we advise that you order a size 12, and get your dress altered down to custom fit your body. Ordering anything smaller than a size 12 would not fit in the bust area. Please note: Our bridal gown size chart is different than the bridesmaids sizing and is listed below.

... afternoon and twelve attempts but by days end we were successful. My buddy Dave and I with the chemist had developed a cure to shoppers boredom.

The next day while nursing a horrific headache and running to the ...

We arrived!
Got off the plane at Montego Bay. They drive on the left here, but I had a few drinks at the airport and enjoyed the drive. Our resort seems nice, but so far we've only seen the bar. But that is the second most important room! I've attached a picture of our room. Lily wants to be on top the whole week. We spent the evening at margaritaville good dancing but hip-hop and we wanted reggae or calypso. Maybe ...

There were also several hot tubs scattered throughout the property, one being right near SeaGrape, that never seemed to busy! The busiest seemed to be the one by the swim up bar; one night it was packed with a younger crowd…We enjoyed the one in the Sports Center..

Pandora Media (P) is expected to report a profit and a 54% jump in revenue when it posts fiscal Q2 results after the market close Thursday.
The Internet radio provider is expected to report earnings per share minus items of 2 cents for the quarter ended July 31, up from break-even in the year-earlier quarter, as profit margins improve.
Wall Street expects sales of $156 million, according to a poll of 22 analysts by Thomson Reuters.
Total listener hours in the quarter climbed 18% to 3.9 billion, according to listener data Pandora releases each month. But listener hours are down from 4.21 billion in fiscal Q1, and that's probably good for Pandora, according to Wedge Partners analyst Martin Pyykkonen.
"Content costs and margins (are) benefiting right now from listener hour deceleration," Pyykkonen wrote in a research note.
Active listeners rose to 71.2 million in July from 71.1 million in June and 67.1 million as of the end of 2012.
The company's benefiting from a jump in mobile traffic, which is expected to boost mobile ad sales by 88% in the quarter vs. the year-earlier quarter, wrote Cowen & Co. analyst John Blackledge in a research note. That's expected to offset a drop in desktop ads.
Pandora stock has jumped 134% year to date, rising a fraction in the stock market Wednesday, to 21.48, near its highest point since the company's June 2011 IPO.
Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) have both released streaming radio services this year, but Pandora's year-over-year revenue continues to rise 50%-plus each quarter.
