WATCHING the World Cup in Brazil will be thirsty work. So, as people down a tinny or two, they are being asked to spare a thought as to what happens next to that can or bottle.
Worcestershire currently diverts approximately 44 per cent of household waste from landfill but during National Recycle Week the council wants to pump up the heat and get everyone recycling more.
As well as drinks cans and bottles the kerbside recycling collections accept other plastic containers such as margarine tubs, yogurt pots, fruit punnets, paper, egg boxes, cake and pastry trays and jars .
The annual recycling push, National Recycle Week runs from June 16 to 22. This year it is calling for everyone in the county to keep up the good work. The county council, in partnership with district, borough and city councils are reminding people the best way to make sure their recycling efforts count with a range of best practice tips
People don't need to remove the labels as this is done as part of the recycling; keep paper flat; remove plastic wrappers from paper; flatten cardboard boxes and tubes; remove inner packaging and rinse food containers, bottles and cartons as food remnants can attract vermin.
There are lots of ideas on how you can reduce the waste which residents throw away on the Lets Waste Less website letswasteless.com including best practice tips and information about the household recycling centres dotted over the county.
Councillor Anthony Blagg, cabinet member for environment and waste, said: "Recycling rates in Worcestershire are already very good, but we think Worcestershire can do even better and recycle even more. Recycle week is a fantastic way of reminding residents what can now be recycled in Worcestershire and to thank people for all their efforts."
So before heading off to enjoy the match, maybe think twice about what happens to the can or bottle your drinking and pop it in the

Comments about PBS FRONTLINE: Alaska Gold: A War of Resources: The Fish or the Mine? DVD:
Man's greed should not be the forerunner to earth's gifts. Yes, fish are a resource too and we are "mining" them also, but with far less detriment to the environment. In fact, they can re-produce themselves; the minerals cannot do so in the same geographical area.
Comments about PBS FRONTLINE: Alaska Gold: A War of Resources: The Fish or the Mine? DVD:
This program brought tears to my eyes. How can you put a price on beauty created so perfectly and sustained by the sheer fact that native americans have kept it pristine and honorable and teeming with life? PIT (literally) that against a mine that will be so deep and so huge it will require at least two holding tanks of sludge residue which becomes sulfuric acid and must be maintained for -- ETERNITY -- lest it pollute the waters surrounding the mine. Waters that give birth to the largest wild salmon run in the world and that provides life for bears, birds, and humans. This mine will tap out of minerals in 100 years, leave the largest man-made gash in our environment and acid which must be monitored until the end of time. Viewers can do the math!

MELBOURNE, Fla. – The Saint Leo volleyball team pushed their win-streak to four games as the Lions defeated Florida Tech 3-1 (25-18, 25-17, 17-25, 25-18) in Sunshine State Conference action from Florida Tech's Clemente Center on Saturday afternoon.
With the win, the Lions draw their conference record to an even 5-5 while jumping to 12-10 overall. Florida Tech drops to 6-17 and 2-8 in the SSC.
As has been the case the entire season, the Lions' day was decided early when the Green and Gold came out on fire and breezed through the first two sets, hitting .322 en route to the two-set advantage. The brief intermission between sets seemed to cool off the Lions' hot hand as Saint Leo dropped set three and needed to regroup. Head Coach Sam Cibrone snapped the Lions back into focus as they easily claimed the fourth set win.
Sophomore Jordan Sisson led the Lions with a .474 average and freshman Lauren Campbell dropped in 12 kills. Sisson and freshman Tawni Warren posted 11 kills apiece as the trio of Lions broke into double digits. Behind them was senior Danielle Bletso with a seven kill effort, but it was a stellar defensive effort that put her on the map with a total of nine blocks, including four solos. Despite being matched by the Panthers defensively, senior Emily Calderon-Reyes still managed 22 digs and six assists.
Kaitlin Brennan led the Panthers with 13 kills. Janelle Branch chipped in 10 and committed two attack errors in 24 attempts for a .333 hitting percentage.
Saint Leo hit .220 for the match, while limiting FIT to a .166 hitting percentage. Alexa Reed had four of the team's 10 service aces.
Saint Leo returns home as the Lions host Rollins on Wednesday evening. Match time is set for 7:00 p.m. at the Marion Bowman Activities Center. For the latest news, updates, and information on Lions Volleyball, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

I have used your recipe for grilled prime rib w/garlic & rosemary many times for Christmas with great success. This year, however; I have been asked to make it for my In-Laws whom do not have the appropriate equipment to prepare it at their home. I am going to fix it along with the one for my parents on Sun. the 21st but will not be serving it until Thur. the 25th. Would it be best to grill it completely, freeze it and then simpley rewarm it or partially grill it, freeze it and then finish it on their gas grill the day it will be served?

Patricia Creasey: A fitting tribute to Blanch Parker
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 3:56 p.m.
Thank you Chris Curry. for the great article covering Blanch Parker's contribution to the City of Archer. Blanch and I worked together in Gainesville for the AARP Senior Community Service Employment Program, over 30 years ago! I am not surprised by her accomplishments and contributions to Archer citizens, including serving on the Board of Commissioners. Blanch always rose to the top of whatever project she undertook.
If you search Gainesville Sun archives you will find news stories about her success as Director of the AARP SCSEP's Noise Control program for the city of Gainesville. She was also the lone Collier County investigator assigned to accumulate statistics for a federal program. Blanch successfully initiated and directed a PBS television Community Service program called "Pat's 'Speak- Easy'," for two years.
It has been my privilege and blessing to maintain a close relationship with Blanch even though separated by many miles. My job took me to Santa Cruz, California, where I stayed until I retired from AARP. True to Curry's reporting, Blanch has a very caring nature. It has kept our friendship strong and true throughout these many years. I can picture her now, standing tall and proclaming loudly, "Old Age?? Bring it ON!!"
May her "fire for life" never go out and her concern for the well being of others persevere. I would like to publicly note to Blanch, "You are loved by many and have truly served each community you were in with a true and loyal commitment. There are very few who have remained as active as you into their older years. And I wouldn't be surprised but what the best is yet to come, since you show no signs of slowing down. I hear that your current project is to help find funding for the upkeep and progress of the Archer Community Center. You are amazing, Blanch Parker! I'm so very proud to call you my friend."
Patricia Creasey,
former Program Director of Gainesville's AARP-SCSEP
Terre Haute, Ind.

There are 4 types of abuse or harassment cases in civil court:
Domestic violence is abuse or threats of abuse when the person being abused and the abusive person are:
The domestic violence laws say "abuse" is:
Keep in mind that abuse and domestic violence do not have to be only physical. Abuse can be verbal (spoken), emotional, or psychological. You do not have to be physically hit to be abused. Often, abuse takes many forms, and abusers use a combination of tactics to control and have power over the person being abused. Read more about Domestic Violence.
If you are being abused in any of these ways or you feel afraid or controlled by your partner/spouse or someone you are close with, it may help you to talk to a domestic violence counselor, even if you do not want (or are not sure if you want) to ask for legal protection. Find domestic violence counselors and resources in your county.
Read about the law starting with Family Code section 6200.
Abuse of an elder or a dependent adult is abuse of:
The law says elder or dependent adult abuse is:
Read about the law in Welfare and Institutions Code section 15610.07.
In general, civil harassment is abuse, threats of abuse, stalking, sexual assault, or serious harassment by someone you have not dated and do NOT have a close family relationship with, like a neighbor, a roommate, or a friend (that you have never dated). It is also civil harassment if the abuse is from a family member that is not included in the list under domestic violence. So, for example, if the abuse is from an uncle or aunt, a niece or nephew, or a cousin, it is considered civil harassment and NOT domestic violence.
The civil harassment laws say "harassment" is:
"Credible threat of violence" means intentionally saying something or acting in a way that would make a reasonable person afraid for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family. A "credible threat of violence" includes following or stalking someone or making harassing calls or sending harassing messages (by phone, mail, or e-mail) over a period of time (even if it is a short time).
Read about the law in Code of Civil Procedure section 527.6.
For a workplace violence situation, the harassment is defined in the same way as for civil harassment. The difference is that the harassment happens primarily at work AND it is the employer of the harassed employee who asks for protection for the employee (and, if necessary, for the employee's family).
For an employer to get a workplace violence restraining order on behalf of an employee, there needs to be reasonable proof that:

A busy road in Horsforth is set to get a new zebra crossing to improve safety for pedestrians.
The new humped zebra crossing is planned for Brownberrie Lane, to complement recent traffic-calming measures. Children walking to and from school have to cross the busy road each day, and it is hoped the crossing will help to keep them safe in the face of heavy traffic.
Planning work for the new crossing still needs to be carried out but the proposal has been included in the Council's programme of works for the 2014/15 financial year.
Horsforth ward councillor Dawn Collins said: "I am pleased that the proposed crossing for Brownberrie Lane is getting closer to becoming a reality. This is a busy road and pedestrians will really benefit from a humped zebra crossing to help them cross the road safely.
"The site of the crossing will be near the roundabout, because the complex movement of vehicles on and off the roundabout can make it difficult for pedestrians to read the traffic properly. I look forward to seeing the design of the scheme, and hope it is in place as soon as possible."

Advocacy Results in Congressional Funding Of New National Lupus Health Education Program
Wednesday, March 11, 2009 – As a result of long term advocacy outreach by the Lupus Research Institute (LRI) National Coalition, of which the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation is a founding member, today President Obama signed legislation appropriating $1 million in new funding for a national lupus health education program for healthcare providers. The education program will be led by the Office of Minority Health in the federal Department of Health and Human Services in partnership with the U.S. Surgeon General and the Office of Women's Health.
H.R. 1105, the Omnibus Appropriations Act for 2009, provides the funding to the Office of Minority Health in the federal Department of Health and Human Services to begin carrying out comprehensive medical education efforts aimed at primary care clinicians.
"This is the culmination of a ten year effort to bring attention and support to the needs of people with lupus, particularly those in underserved communities," said Margaret G. Dowd, president of the LRI. "Lupus is more prevalent among African-Americans and Hispanics, particularly young women. It has been a priority for the LRI National Coalition to eliminate racial disparity in the diagnosis and treatment of lupus."
"The entire lupus community, including the families and friends of everyone with lupus, is deeply indebted to the U.S. Congress for recognizing the need and responding to the challenge," continued Dowd. "In addition, we thank all who invested their time and energy into the effort to gain Congressional funding for needed clinical education programs on lupus."
Member groups of the LRI began their outreach into underserved communities 10 years ago with the creation of the first neighborhood Lupus Cooperative in East Harlem founded by S.L.E. Lupus Foundation of New York in 1999. Cooperatives have since been opened in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn and the South Bronx, both areas with large African-American and Hispanic populations.
Over the years, the LRI National Coalition has created visibility for the needs of underserved populations through awareness building, advocacy and education programs on a national, state and local level.
Highlights have included:
- "Invisible No More" forum on race and lupus at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference in 2004.
- Educational panel on heart disease and lupus presented at the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference in 2005.
- Spanish language public awareness campaign to alert Hispanic women to the dangers of lupus (2005).
- Congressional briefing on racial disparity in lupus (2006).
- Achieved the first ever NIH 5-year lupus research plan through the efforts of Congressman Bill Young that incorporated health disparities research (2007).
- Five City series on the increased risk of heart disease in people with lupus, particularly young women and African-American women. Presented in 2007 in conjunction with the Association of Black Cardiologists. The series was held in New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles and Detroit.

you have to wait a while!! 20mins or less when he is in 99% it'll install backtrack tools after installing the kernel and basic UBUNTU applications. So you have just to wait.
I downloaded BackTrack5 through a torrent. I checked the md5 hashes after it finished and it matches the number on the site. I downloaded the ISO BackTrack5 Gnome 32 bit. Everything works fine up to the point that I am installing it. I go into the back track GUI using startx, I click on the icon in the upper lefthand corner to install backtrack. I go through the installation process and get to 99% in the progress bar. It then just sits there and won't finish installing. I waited an entire hour and it just sits there at the 99% mark. I've tried multiple times to install it. Can someone tell me what is wrong?

Hi smille!
I encountered this same problem when I was installing BT5 - inside VirtualBox though.
I tried several times, just as you have, and then I got tired of it. So, I started the installation, then left the computer over night. In the morning, the installation was done.
My conclusion is it doesn't FREEZE, it just takes a lot of time for some reason...
Just start the installation, go and do something else for a few hours and you SHOULD be good to go. If not, just keep waiting. It'll be done with the installation in due time.
Good luck!
it's at 99% Almost finished copying files for me too in VirtualBox
I wonder why the delay and how long will it actually take to complete the installation
I had a similar experience, but while I was searching for the answer, it finished. haha. So yea, just got to wait a little bit

Very great hosts, well organized and reliable. Nice room near the old town. Activities suitable for all sightseeing. very trusting atmosphere .. I like to come again!
Sehr tolle Gastgeber, gut organisiert und zuverlässig. Schönes Zimmer am Rande der Altstadt. Für alle sightseeing Aktivitäten bestens geeignet. sehr vertrauensvolles Ambiente..ich komme gerne wieder!
We met Carols during our stay. He is a very nice. He gave us many tips around and took us to the tourist centre in the downtown. Room was very nice and comfortable. The place is not far away from the metro. Bus and tram station are nearby.
Very nice room near golffield and swimmingpool... very worth the money.
We got a nice warm welcome and good information. a pity that there were no facilities for breakfast, but we got some plates when we asked...
Well situated in quit neighberhhod near interesting places/ beaches.
Good value for money. Warm welcome and great flexibility. The only disappointment was the breakfast not included when it was supposed to be.
Bon rapport qualité prix. Accueil très chaleureux et grande flexibilité. La seule déception est le petit déjeuner non inclus alors qu'il était sensé l'être.
We had a great time in the house of Claudia and Rui. We met friendly people and laughed a lot. Thank you! Especially we loved the good recomandations to be with the portuguese peoople!
We think it was the best Place we could stay at Lisboa,very Friendly,clean and close to everything we wanted to See and do!had a Great time!
Claudia and Philipp
We were welcomed by there roommate. He was very friendly.
The room looked clean, but other things like the fridge and bathroom were not. There was a lot of hair in the bathroom, the fridge smelled funny and so did our room.
The room was freezing, even with the heater on it didn't get comfortable.
The shower wasn't that great. You had to hold the shower yourself over you're head and it didn't get really warm.
The bed.. there was something pointed in there and it was really uncomfortable. And it wasn't very clean and at the end of the weak, we both have an itchy rash.
Conclusion: This appartment isn't worth the money
Very bone and Claudia at home Rui. We have over their roommate saw Carlos as they were in the process of recording an album but very good stay. Carlos showed us the coolest places in town. Claudia us do discover Sintra and Cascais and the wonders of the coast. Welcoming and clean room in the heart of Lisbon. All Lisbon is 5 minutes walk from home. Thank you again! In a future hope
Très bone accueil chez Claudia et Rui. Nous avons plus vu Carlos leur colocataire car ils étaient en train d'enregistrer un album mais très bon séjour. Carlos nous a montré les lieux les plus sympa de la ville. Claudia nous a fais découvrir Sintra et Cascais ainsi que les merveilles de la côte. Chambre accueillante et propre au coeur de Lisbonne. Le tout Lisbonne est à 5mn à pied de chez eux.
Merci encore ! A une prochaine j'espère

text: My father was born in Washington DC, on August 20, 1918. He was born in a home on H St., not in a hospital. His mother, who was married at age 16 to a Joseph Irving LEWIS, was also born in Washington DC. She was born Jan., 1900. Howard's father was a Joseph Irvin LEWIS, born abt. 1894., also, in Washington DC. Joseph was one of the son's of a John M. LEWIS, who was a "twin", also born in Washington DC-John M.'s father was a CONFEDERATE soldier who wrote the book "Recollections from 1860 to 1865". The book begin in Portsmouth, where John Henry LEWIS, was born and forced to leave during "reconstruction". John H. LEWIS, had been a POW, on four different occassions following his capture at Gettsburg, PA. He was a 2n Lt., at time of capture. Howard's mother was a Margaret Estella LARMAN-LEWIS-LAWLOR, who's Grand father a Henry LARMAN, was part of the militia, that defended Washington DC, during the civil war. He was a UNION soldier. Howard my father graduated from both Universities of Alabama and Maryland. He has a BA in both political science and journalism. My father was one of those who was part of inventing the ZIP CODE, with the US postal service. He married a Annibrita d'WAINIO, who was adopted at age abt 4 in New York City, by the Herman and Catherine OR Katherine EVERS-ELFERS, family, as a result of my mother's father having put three of the five children that were left in his care in NYC, after his young wife died and his NYC restaurant failed. Two of the three of the children of Frank d'WAINIO, at that time were adopted one by a MAXWELL family a young son and my mother the other stayed in the "adoption home till death in her 80's approximately. It was in NYC, I think. So after Annibrita, my mother, had become Marie Louise ELFERS of NYC, she came to Washington DC-she had attended Smith college for woman and played the piano. She began working for the Spanish Embassy and met and married my father Howard Irving LEWIS, in the MAYFLOWER hotel, in Washington DC-February 1947. They had two children and my mother also, died in her early 80's in Anee Arundel co., Maryland. Howard had also, been a reporter for the TIMES HERALD, with his "own column" the Government column in Washington DC, until the TIMES HERALD, closed. Howard died at over age 90 of a heart attack.

HOUSTON - If you've ever played the board game Monopoly, you know what it means when there's an "error in the bank's favor." Local 2 consumer expert Amy Davis found those errors happening over and over to potentially thousands of people attending events at Houston's Toyota Center.
Ben Brinegar noticed it when he went to the Houston Rockets/San Antonio Spurs game on Dec. 10. The Rockets won, but Brinegar said every fan who stopped by one of the five Woodforest Bank ATMs inside the Toyota Center lost.
The ATMs told non-Woorforest customers they would be charged $2.50 to use the machines. But once customers like Brinegar agreed to the charge, the bank actually deducted $3 from their account instead.
"It was more about the principle," Brinegar explained. "If they're already getting $2.50 from me, if there's a thousand people withdrawing money from their ATMs in one night, then that's $2,500."
After the game, Brinegar called Woodforest to report the discrepancy.
"She didn't even ask which ATM it was, which made me think that they didn't care," Brinegar recalled of the Woodforest customer service representative that took his call.
Brinegar next went to Woodforest's Facebook page, where he posted a warning about the overcharge. That got him an email from a Woodforest employee who said he'd look into it. Brinegar said the employee took his information and said he would look into it, but never called back.
Twenty-two days later, when Davis stopped by the Toyota Center, she found the ATMs still overcharging every customer by 50 cents.
"Whether it's 50 cents or $50,000, the law pretty much says if you tell somebody here's what it's going to cost, here's what I'm going to do, you have to do what you say," explained consumer attorney Richard Alderman.
If a company doesn't do what it says it will, it is violating the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Once a business is notified that it's breaking this law and continues to, consumers are entitled to three times the damages. In this case, it would be a $1.50, but Alderman sayid that's not the point.
"The law doesn't give you a defense of, 'Oops! It was a mistake.' The law says consumers are allowed to rely on what you say and they can expect to pay what you tell them you will pay."
"We have audits and controls in place and this one just got missed by human error," Woodforest National Bank President Jay Dreibelbis said. "We appreciate you letting us know."
Dreibelbis said an employee made a programming error when he was servicing the Toyota Center ATMs on Nov. 9. When KPRC Local 2 called on Jan. 21, he said it was immediately corrected and the bank will issue refunds to every consumer who withdrew money from one of the machines between Nov. 9 and Jan. 21.
"Within hours from hearing from you, we were able to correct that," said Dreibelbis. "I hate to say this, but the money that we had to refund to those individuals, we feel very bad about that ... but it cost the organization significantly more to do the research and to make those adjustments."
"That's all I asked for -- just assurance that they were looking into it and doing the right thing," said Brinegar when Davis told him Woodforest corrected the fee.
There were 40 events during the time period Woodforest said its machines were overcharging by 50 cents. Brinegar said his refund showed up on his bank statement a few days ago.

HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. - Some $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts to domestic agencies and the military are set to kick in Friday.
Meanwhile, the Senate is expected to vote today on rival Democratic and Republican plans to replace the spending cuts.
But both bills are expected to fail. President Barack Obama has set a meeting with congressional leaders for the day the cuts take effect.
WATCH: Budget sequester already impacting Michigan
If the cuts go through, Selfridge Air National Guard Base could see big changes in operations - including furloughs and reduced flights.
Officials at Selfridge said the possible impacts of the sequestration include:
- Approximately 650 personnel from the 127th Wing will be given 22 days of furlough, which will be implemented one day per week from late April to Sept. 30. This will result in a total loss of pay will be approximately $6 million.
- Approximately 500 personnel from other agencies on the base will be impacted by furlough over the same time period. An estimated total pay loss is not available.
- The number of flying hours by the 127th Wing's A-10 Thunderbolt II aircraft and KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft will be significantly curtailed. This reduction will begin to impact mission readiness levels by the beginning of April.
More of the story:
Obama: Spending cuts would be bad for business
President calls forced cuts a 'tumble downward'
Author: By CNN Political Unit
President Barack Obama is taking his campaign against the forced federal spending cuts - set to take effect on Friday - before business leaders, telling them Wednesday evening that the cuts will be bad for their businesses and cause the economy to "tumble downward."
"Whether that can be done in the next two days," Obama said, pausing mid-sentence, then continuing, "I haven't seen things done in two days here in Washington in quite some time."
His skepticism comes as the final days before Friday's deadline pass with no sign of frenzied negotiations to broker a last-minute deal. Instead, both sides are engaging in campaign-like tactics in an apparent effort to argue they aren't responsible for what is almost certain to begin at the end of this week.
By 11:59 p.m. Friday, Obama must order a broad spread of federal agencies, including the Defense Department, to cut $85 billion from their budgets over the next seven months, the remainder of the government's fiscal year.
Unlike the last showdown -- in late December when tax increases and the sequester were set to trigger -- Obama said this is no "fiscal cliff."
"I'm sure you've heard from a number of experts and economists that this is not a cliff, but it is a tumble downward," he told leaders at an event held by The Business Council. "It's conceivable that in the first week, the first two weeks, the first three weeks, the first month ... a lot of people may not notice the full impact of the sequester."
Exceptions, he said, could include businesses related to the defense industry, where the cuts are expected to be a larger percentage of their budget. Still, Obama warned, "this is going to be a big hit on the economy."
The White House has announced no public events for the president on Thursday or Friday.

Nicole Lecarner cheered all four years at Los Alamitos High School, winning four consecutive national championships. Since she started coaching at Foothill High five years ago, she has doubled the size of the program and introduced competitive cheer. Last year, Foothill placed third at the United Spirit Association Nationals. The 2013 USA Nationals take place next month at the Anaheim Convention center.
Q. How does competitive cheer differ from traditional sideline cheer?
A. Sideline cheer is to support other sports programs. The focus is on crowd-leading and getting the fans excited. It's not about showing off. Competitive cheer is the complete opposite. When we cheer, it's about our own team, it's about promoting us.
Q. So no pompoms at competition?
A. No. When we compete, that is when we shine. But most people don't see that. They just see us at games. But just in my years since being in cheer, views have changed. ESPN and Fox Sports have highlighted cheer competitions and nationals. People have more respect for it now.
Q. Why have you pushed so hard to promote the competitive cheerleading?
A. I had a lot of parents that came up to me that thought it would be good for their girls because at the time they didn't have a lot of respect on campus. I realized that the only way to change perceptions was for us to change them. You can't just tell people to stop booing the girls. We had to earn it.
Q. Do you see competitive cheer supplanting sideline cheer in the future?
A. Once you have gotten a taste of what competitive cheer is like, it is hard to choose sideline cheer over competive cheer, if you have the choice.
Q. What is the main obstacle to the growth of competitive cheer?
A. Number one is lack of support from the school administration and district. Number two is funding. We are 100 percent based on donations and fundraising. That's a big obstacle, because it's not cheap to compete.

Hi there,
I had a couple of different designers become inundated with projects and, in my quest to replace the work, have found it virtually impossible to locate talented graphics designers interested in (who also have the time for) small-to-moderately-sized freelance web graphics work. Does anyone have any advice on where to look? My needs are too varied and specific (too many odds and ends) to go the contest route, which is a shame because it seems like it would otherwise produce fine results if I needed, say, a logo, but in this case I have a logo and need a lot of smaller elements to match it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. <snip>
I recommend to explore some graphic designers from India and UK and they posses good interpersonal skills and graphic designing capabilities, According to my point of view
Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately just listing possible nationalities doesn't help me much.
I'm not sure what the policy is on bumping threads here, but I guess I'll do it once, since nobody seems to have any helpful suggestions.
Like most things, you can find it in the FAQs/rules.
Ah, sorry.
Guess this one's not getting answered, then. Big ol' frownie face
There are plenty of places. Dribbble or Forrst have some of the most skilled graphic designers you could ever want. I'm not active on Forrst, so I can't tell you much about it but on Dribbble you'll find plenty of designers available for hire (there's a "hire me" link) if someone's currently available.
deviantART and Dribbble are very good place to find skilled graphic designers.
These are the go-to sites when it comes to hiring:
For freelance/contract work- oDesk- Elance- 99designs
For full time remote work or someone you could work with for the long term.<snip>
Just browse through their database and you'll find a number of graphic designers in there.
My advice would be to try to find a local graphic designer who you could sit with face to face. If your needs are as intricate as you said, you might have communication challenges via online service providers.
Ask around your friends and ask your friends to ask their friends. Within your own network you could probably find a few talented artists. When making contact, make sure to ask to see their portfolio and style first before committing to anything.

dude i am on a site called hire the world and you can get some jobs on there and get paid really good for it.. <snip/>peace out
There are many freelancing websites or agencies which are providing their services to clients regarding their project need. But each client can never be satisfied with the service provider. I have also very bad and good experience with these type freelance service provider. But one that is fine is safe freelancer. They have provided me very accurate result. You can also check their site for reference.
Deviantart, Odesk, Freelancer, Elance, People Per Hour, they are all filled with talented and skillful designers. You can always ask them to show you a sample, like to ask the community to design a logo and they will then create samples of it. Will make it easier for you to decide who will be your guy.
To keep this thread form getting replies that are promoting sites rather than offering suggestions on how to find them

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
SQ3R is an acronym for a popular study system that will help you get the most from your studying. SQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review. It's a good system to use if you are trying to learn the material in a textbook.
In this first step, you should take no more than 5 minutes to get an overview of what the chapter or book is about. Read the preface, table of contents, chapter titles, headings, graphs, summaries, etc. This will give you an outline of what you are about to learn which will help you know what to expect.
Survey the material again, but stop at each section and ask yourself some questions about what you hope to learn by reading that material. This step helps increase your interest in the topic and focus your attention on what you will be learning.
Read the material. Don't take notes or highlight anything yet. The first time you read through the material, you don't yet know which facts are important, so taking notes is difficult and inefficient.
In this step, you should try to answer the questions you asked in the Question step. Look back at the material only if necessary. Talking out loud to yourself isn't necessary, but it can help reinforce the information. Recitation also provides Feedback. Spend at least half of your time on this step.
Survey the book again and take note of which areas you were able to recite successfully and which areas you were not. You can study the weak areas again later. A review right after studying will help solidify the material in your mind. Periodic reviews at later dates will refresh your memory and help relearn material that you have forgotten.

When I first moved into this house I was on a very tight budget. I simply did not have any money to spare to buy many of the things that I would have liked to have. Not long after moving here I was faced with the need to come up with an acceptable window treatment for the studio before the big extended family dinner that I was asked to throw. Being the eternal pack-rat, I mentally mulled over my "save for later" treasures. What could I make with what I had on hand?
As I was unpacking and organizing my gone-away-to-college son's room, I came across a lot of hand-me-down blue jeans that he had not taken to college. Realizing that he had not ever worn them (because they were not the "cool" brand name) and that he may never wear them (again the "cool" brand name issue) I called him to ask him if he wanted me to put them away in the dresser in his room, or if he wanted me to get rid of them. His reply – "I'll never wear them Mom, get rid of them."
Well, a few hours later my window treatment was up and lookin' good! I get a lot of compliments on the results (even now, six years later!)
A year later when my son said "Mom, I've changed my mind about those jeans, wearing "brand name" clothes is "out" and wearing "generic brand" is "in" and I'm having a hard time finding jeans that fit me, well, sorry son, you had your chance!

Funeral Flowers
Our selection of Funeral Arrangements is carefully designed by expert florists, and includes traditional flowers for the funeral service, as well as more contemporary styled selections. As always, if you are unsure about what flowers to order to express your sympathies, please contact our Specialty Sympathy Advisors toll free at 1-866-538-2259 or the funeral director. Read more Hide more
Each arrangement is available for same-day delivery to the funeral home, church, residence, or office. Help celebrate the life of a friend or loved one and express yourself perfectly with a lovely funeral arrangement.
We offer a wide variety of arrangements to choose from, appropriate for every relationship to the deceased, including Standing Sprays, Flower Baskets, Vase Arrangements, Casket Sprays, Wreaths, Crosses and Hearts, and even Blooming and Green Plants. Whether you need a tribute for the funeral home, a memorial service or cremation ceremony, flowers are known to offer comfort and help with healing during the grieving process.
The color of the funeral flowers you select can also be very important. In many cultures, white is a traditional color of mourning and conveys peace and purity, which would explain the popularity of the white lily as an expression of sympathy. White mums are symbolic of death and lamentation in certain Asian cultures and European countries, while white carnations stand for pure love and innocence. And white roses are always an elegant choice, as they symbolize humility and reverence.
Red flowers express love, and can be used to honor the life of a close friend or beloved family member. Roses in any shade of red express undying love for the deceased, contrasted with red carnations which stand for admiration and respect. Any red flower can also be used to symbolize the courage and beauty of the deceased.
Pastel colors such as pink, purple and yellow are normally selected to memorialize women, while darker tones are typically selected for men as they lend a masculine touch to the arrangement, no matter what the season.
When a friend or loved one passes away, many people want to send funeral flowers as a symbol of their love and a show of heartfelt condolences to the family and other mourners at the service. The options for funeral flowers include: arrangements for the casket, standing arrangements such as floral crosses or wreaths, as well as smaller baskets or arrangements. However, etiquette dictates what type of arrangement is appropriate as not all funeral flowers should be sent by anyone.
Funeral Flower Etiquette at the Service
For the most part, flowers for the top or inside of the casket itself and large standing floral wreaths or sprays are generally sent only by the immediate family. The type of funeral flowers appropriate for friends or co-workers of the deceased are usually smaller standing sprays or flower baskets that can be displayed at the funeral service or at the home of the family.
Send Flowers to the Home of the Family
If you are not able to attend the funeral service, you can still send sympathy flowers to the family's home as all funeral flowers do not need to be at the service. The most common options for a sympathy gift to the home are a vase of beautiful flowers or a floral basket. Fruit baskets or gifts of gourmet food are also appreciated at the home of the family when they receive mourners.
Rely on the Experts
No matter what type of funeral flowers you need, the expert Sympathy Advisors at 1-800-FLOWERS. COM® will be able to help you with selection and ordering, and they will arrange for delivery to the funeral service location or family home. All funeral flowers on 1-800-FLOWERS.

Rockies allow big rally late in loss to D-backs
Colorado unable to respond to Weiss' pregame pep talk
PHOENIX -- For anyone expecting a pep talk to work the way it does in the movies, Rockies manager Walt Weiss can offer a dose of reality -- Saturday night's stunningly bad 14-4 loss to the D-backs, after his pregame address emphasizing focus.
"I didn't say, 'Abracadabra,'" Weiss deadpanned. "I didn't say any magic words."
The Rockies' 11th loss in the last 13 games and 20th in the last 22 road games in some ways was like many others. They didn't produce offensively and fell behind, which has been the story on the road all season -- really, for the life of the franchise -- no matter what the manager says.
Nolan Arenado's solo shot in the top of the eighth, his 11th home run of the season, cut the difference to 5-4. But for a team that's tied with the Rangers for the Majors' worst record at 45-71 (a pace that could have them flirting with the first 100-loss season in franchise history), being close often doesn't lead to success. Comebacks on the road -- where they're a Majors-worst 17-41 -- are even more scarce.
"We've lost a lot, so we've got to prove to ourselves that we can put together a total game, and win games," Weiss said.
Instead of reversing the trend, Rockies gave up nine runs and eight hits in the eighth.
Here are the lowlights:
• Reliever Tommy Kahnle coughed up a seventh-inning homer to Alfredo Marte that ensured the Rockies would be down in the eighth, gave up three hits and uncorked a wild pitch. Another low pitch was ruled a passed ball against catcher Wilin Rosario.
• Arenado fielded Mark Trumbo's no-out, two-on bouncer and fired to the plate over runner David Peralta. The high throw ticked off Rosaro's glove for an error on Arenado, which allowed a second run to score.
• Reliever Nick Masset was greeted by a Tuffy Gosewisch double. He took third when center fielder Drew Stubbs let the ball tick off his glove, then fumbled it when he tried to throw. Masset would give up two more singles and a walk before yielding a Peralta two-out grand slam on an 0-2 pitch.
"We couldn't get that third out," Weiss said. "There's not a whole lot to say about it. It just got away from us."
A dejected Rosario talked about trying to stay aggressive against the D-backs' hitters but seeing nothing work.
"Sometimes I can't understand the baseball game," Rosario said, before pausing. "I don't have too much to say."
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson noted that the game was competitive at one point.
"It was a close game all the way to the last inning so it's not like a blowout," Gibson said. "It's good to tack a lot of runs on at the end."
Colorful as it was at the end, it was still another loss at Chase Field for Rockies lefty Jorge De La Rosa (11-8), who gave up four runs on six hits in six innings. The big blow against him was Trumbo's three-run shot on an 0-2 pitch with two out in the third to give the D-backs a 4-3 lead. De La Rosa gave up just one hit after the homer, Trumbo's eighth.
In eight starts at Chase Field, De La Rosa, who has an offseason home in nearby Scottsdale, Ariz., is 0-5 with a 4.15 ERA at Chase.
Arenado finished with three RBIs -- one on a first-inning double and another on a third-inning sacrifice fly against D-backs starter Trevor Cahill (2-8). Arenado scored a run in the two-run first on a Cahill error. But other than Arenado's homer off Brad Ziegler with one out in the eighth, and Justin Morneau's two hits, the Rockies did little offensively.
Weiss didn't expect his words to change everything. He said he "tried to give some perspective."
Charlie Blackmon, who went 0-for-4 and has seen his batting average drop from the level that got him into the All-Star Game to .285, has an idea that doesn't involve words from a manager or anyone else.
"Play better," Blackmon said. "That's all I got."

Amistad Rise Fuels Economic Bonanza
DEL RIO, Texas — Travel U.S. 90 through Del Rio and out to Amistad International Reservoir and it's obvious there's something going on in this border town.
New motels and restaurants are going up, and parking lots of old ones are crowded.
Skeletons of houses under construction dot hillsides overlooking the lake.
Del Rio and Val Verde County are experiencing an economic boom based on a commodity that's normally scarce in this area perched on the edge of the Chihuahuan Desert: water.
Following a 10-year drought, soaking rains refilled Amistad beginning in 2003. The rising water flooded vegetation that had grown up on the dry lake bottom, and submersed vegetation such as hydrilla expanded as well, making lots of hiding places where baby bass could grow up.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) took advantage of the rising water and stepped up its fish stocking program, putting 874,000 largemouth bass fingerlings into the lake in 2004 and 2005. In 2006 the lake received 4,519 Budweiser Sharelunker fingerlings as a result of ShareLunker 400 coming from the lake.
TPWD and the National Park Service cooperated on studies in 2002-2003 and 2007 that gave snapshots of the lake before and after the rise. During 2002-2003 anglers fished for 319,473 hours on Amistad and spent $4.2 million in Val Verde County and another $1.2 million in Texas outside the county. During the 2002-2003 annual period anglers caught 197,000 total bass.
Amistad received a great deal of national publicity in 2006 due to several highly successful televised bass fishing tournaments. Hours spent fishing skyrocketed to 606,189 in 2007. Preliminary results from an economic impact study show direct expenditures by anglers in 2007 jumped to $13.7 million in Val Verde County and $7 million in Texas outside the county. Add it all up and that's $20.7 million in actual dollars spent, an increase of $15.3 million, or 183 percent. A considerable portion of this increase was new money to Texas as representation of non-Texas anglers at Amistad increased from 7 percent in 2002-2003 to 13 percent in 2007 according to Jeremy Leitz, a fisheries researcher for TPWD.
That was good news for the local economy, but the news for largemouth bass anglers was even better.
"The 2007 creel survey indicated that the Amistad bass fishery remains one of the best in the country," said Randy Myers, the TPWD fisheries biologist in charge of the lake. "Catch and harvest of largemouth bass increased substantially, with a significant number of fish four pounds and larger. This suggests that the reservoir's fish population continued to support high angling success for an increased number of anglers."
There's a Louisiana saying that sums up the situation best: "Laissez les bons temps rouler" (Let the good times roll) or as they might say in Del Rio, "Deje que los buenos tiempos continúen."
The good times are now on Amistad. Long may they roll.

U10B All Stars - Sensational at Sectionals
Pull date:
Fri, 04/05/2013
Our intrepid All Stars played sensationally at Sectionals, nearly upsetting the Area Champions' apple cart with an appearance in the medal round. Instead, the boys took home 16 points, a Las Vegas Area 1S scalp, a scrappy tie against a tough Beach Cities champion team from Manhattan Beach, and one conceded goal against group winner Arcadia that made up the difference between advancing to the semifinals.Ultimately, the extremely athletic Area 1P champion South LA team prevailed over Arcadia (7-3 in the final) to advance to the State Championship inDavis, while Manhattan Beach took 3rd place in the Section.
Once again, the Santa Monica BU10 All Stars showed their promise, looking most dangerous when connecting diagonal passes and moving off the ball. A 2-2 tie with Manhattan Beach may have been Santa Monica's strongest on-field performance to date. Those boys looked huge and were strong on the ball. But against the early run of play, our All Stars struck swiftly with a counterattack that began with the keeper, driving a ball up field to our striker who ran onto the ball behind the defense to calmly slot home to open the account. By the end of the game, a feverish Manhattan Beach was unrelenting in its attack, seeking to find a third goal that would preserve its perfect record—but our boys were just as determined to be the ones to break their win streak, and the defense held to deliver that team its first tie.
With that result, Santa Monica knew it had a chance in its 2nd match against San Gabriel All Star Champions Arcadia, but alas the boys succumbed in the heat and lost 4-2 at midday, in a game that we would love to have back against the Sectionals runner-ups. Finally, needing a result against Bullhead City to have a chance too advance, the SMBU10s delivered a 3-1 victory good for nine points in the game and 16 in the tourney. Alas, Arcadia beat Manhattan Beach 3-2, leaving the vanquished with 16 points as well, and a one goal edge on tiebreaker to advance to the medal round and a date with South LA before taking 3rd vs. Chino.
All in all, an exciting Saturday of soccer for Santa Monica, where some of us also watched the defending U-12G Extra State Champions take care of business and advance to Davis March 16-17. We wish them well, and will do our best to make our own luck that same St. Patrick's Day weekend at the Pot O' Gold in Thousand Oaks, where we look to take home our own first title.

If a stealthy new option on the revised standard homeowners insurance form catches on, it may soon cost you more to maintain your home's appearance.
As Insurance Journal reported last week, a revised homeowners insurance form was filed in most states in February by the American Association of Insurance Services, or AAIS, one of two organizations that design standardized forms and policies for the property and casualty, or P&C, industry.
The revised form includes a new "cosmetic damage exclusion" option that would excuse your home insurer from paying to repair cosmetic wind and hail damage to your roof, walls, doors and windows. The form also allows insurers to limit the exclusion to a single part of the dwelling, such as the roof.
Policies containing the exclusion would still pay to repair functional physical damage to the insured home, i.e., its ability to keep the weather outside.
The other P&C standards organization, ISO, also wrote a cosmetic damage exclusion into its recently revised standard commercial insurance form and is considering adding it to its new homeowners insurance form as well.
AAIS spokesman Joseph Harrington says the 330 insurance companies that use AAIS forms requested the change as a tool to help manage a recent increase in cosmetic damage claims. While some insurers may choose to apply the exclusion on a policy-by-policy basis, Harrington expects most will either apply it across the board or not use it at all.
On the surface (so to speak), the cosmetic damage exclusion seems like an ill-timed nickel-and-diming by home insurers whose pleas for rate increases have lately fallen on deaf ears at state insurance departments.
Why, a homeowner might well wonder, should I submit to a sketchy bit of hair-splitting that gives my insurance company discretion on what constitutes cosmetic damage, especially in traditionally hard-hit geographic areas like the Midwest, where this shell game is likely to be popular? And how might this potential blight affect our already-struggling property values?
Many home insurers no doubt hope that this option will become the new norm. But once homeowners get wind of it, there's a fair chance it may backfire and simply drive business to the agencies that refuse to use it.
Would you buy a policy from an insurer who couldn't care less what your home looks like?

This is one of my all-time favorite warm weather dishes. It's wonderful on a hot night served alongside something like these lemon-dill green beans from Eating Well and crusty French bread. This is a great dish for taking to a barbecue or picnic and the leftovers make for tasty lunches. While it was designed to use flageolet beans and Kamut® berries, you can substitute both with good results if you want something simpler or these two ingredients are not handy. White beans, navy beans or great northern beans would all be a decent substitute for the flageolet beans. Wheat berries, spelt berries, long grain brown rice, farro, oat groats or even our Grandé Whole Grains Blend would sub well for the Kamut® berries. Enjoy!
French Bean and Kamut® Berry Salad
- 2 cups cooked Kamut® Berries
- 2 cups cooked Flageolet Beans
- 1 cup Green Onion, chopped
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 2 cups Spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 2 Tbsp White Wine Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 cup Shallots, minced
- 1 tsp Thyme
- 1 tsp Tarragon
- 1 tsp Parsley Flakes
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Soak flageolet beans (about 1 cup) overnight. Drain water and rinse off beans. Place beans in pot covered with plenty of water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer, placing lid on pot. Cook until beans are soft, about 1 hour.
Place Kamut® berries (about 1-1/2 cups) in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and place a lid on the pot. Cook until berries are soft, about 1 hour. While beans and Kamut® Berries are cooking, mix vinaigrette ingredients together in a large bowl.
Chop veggies and place in the bowl. Drain beans and berries and rinse in cold water.
Measure out 2 cups of both the beans and the berries and add them to the other ingredients in the bowl. Blend together all ingredients with vinaigrette and chill for a few hours or overnight. Serves 10.

I AM working in retail.
I AM WEARING a dress from Princess Highway, sunglasses from Carlisle Accessories in Balaclava, a cardigan from i.d.s, and these leopard-print leggings I bought in a discount store in Geelong. My shoes, by Melissa, I bought in a store on Chapel Street and my handbag is from Release the Hounds on Smith Street.
MY STYLE IS today I just wanted to wear these leggings so I based my outfit on that. I wanted to go a bit jungle.
I ADMIRE THE STYLE OF Madonna, she's a style icon. You see what she wore in the '80s and people are still wearing that. She's timeless and a fashion pioneer.
MY FAVOURITE LABELS include Alexander McQueen. He dressed his subjects really well. I love how he dressed Bjork and what he did for her in terms of iconic dresses. He did the swan dress, which was one of my favourites. You couldn't imagine anyone else wearing that, but it suited her. I also like local designers like Kuwaii, whose clothes are beautifully made and well designed for the woman's body, and they can also be worn as everyday wear. Oracles is great, too. The clothes are beautifully tailored and she uses her own fabric that she has designed, which is really colourful and fun.
MY FAVOURITE PLACE TO SHOP IS at Savers. It's great value and I like how you never know what you'll find.
MY BIGGEST FASHION MISTAKE WAS dreadlocks. Looking back, they were just really dirty and it's something I wouldn't do again.
WHEN I WAS A KID I used to dress up as the usual - a princess or a fairy.
I WOULD NEVER BE CAUGHT DEAD IN stilettos. I can't pull them off because I'm not comfortable in them.

DETROIT - A new car will hit the market next year that has three wheels, sits two people and gets more than 600 miles on one tank of gas.
The vehicle made by Elio Motors is federally classified as a motorcycle, but the man who designed the vehicle said it drives like a car.
"Front engine, front wheel drive, with a steering wheel, not handle bars, with three airbags, two seat belts, air conditioning, power windows, and power door locks. So from a driving experience it's certainly more similar to a car than a motorcycle," said Paul Elio, of Elio Motors.
The vehicle can also go more than 100 miles per hour.
"You can get a ticket in it," said Elio.
The vehicle is also as safe as other cars on the road. It has 50% more crush zone than a smart car because of it's long nose. The vehicle is also equipped with airbags.
"Because of our front to back seating, we can fire all three airbags in every event. The two side curtains and the front airbag. So we can actually hold you in this cocoon of airbags as the event occurs," said Elio.
The Elio will hit the market in 2014 and is expected to cost less than $10,000.
"We believe we are going to be able to bring this to market with 95 percent North American content," said Elio. " So it's an American car company, built in America, with American parts."
Despite the compact look, the Elio can also hold your luggage or golf clubs, if you're traveling alone.
"You can fit an airline compliant bag with the rear seat folded up, When the rear seat folds down it makes a package shelf so you can fit other long items," said Elio.
The Elio will be marketed mainly as a commuter or road trip vehicle.
For more information on the vehicle and Elio go to ElioMotors.com.

We are expecting Glen Sather to address the media around 4:45 p.m. to discuss the deadline day.
I will put up audio shortly thereafter.
For those just tuning in, the Rangers acquired 6-7, 270-pound defenseman/winger John Scott — a true enforcer — from the Blackhawks for a fifth-round pick.
They talked to Columbus throughout the day, and apparently put on a press near the deadline, for Rick Nash. But did not, obviously, offer enough to get it done. And then Scott Howson, the Blue Jackets GM, said that it was Nash who initiated the scenario by requesting a trade. That's surprising. Shocking, actually, that a GM would say that about his team's captain. Good luck with that relationship going forward.

You know what I'm all done with? Santa Fe's quatrocentenario—the 400th anniversary celebration. Sure it's scheduled to go on for more than a year, but that's no excuse for sucking at the outset. Like many Santa Feans, I think I've given it a fair shake, a tolerant smile and an opportunity to convince me—or anyone, really—that it's going to be an important, useful, fun, celebratory, economically advantageous event.
But no. So far nothing has really happened to convince me that it's anything other than a weird post-colonial seizure—the fevered gasp of a misunderstood and violent history. Even before Corey Pein's excellent reporting on SFReeper.com—in which he detailed some of the shocking and reckless expenses dominating the 400th's budget—the apparent lack of organization or any economically justifiable slate of events or publicly instructional sense of what, exactly, is being celebrated had begun to wear thin.
More than a year ago, when Santa Fe Mayor David Coss insisted that additional funds be directed toward the quatrocentenario just as the country dipped into economic catastrophe, I read it as leadership in a storm: Rather than rolling into a little ball and whimpering, Santa Fe was taking steps to ensure its vitality through rough times. But you know, I assumed (yeah,I know) that there was a there there. I made the rookie mistake of thinking that funding the thing equated to infusing the thing with substance.
But the map is not the territory and, in this case, the territory is looking increasingly like a black hole. If there was a motivational factor other than fear of bruising Santa Fe's Hispanic pride when the city Finance Committee recently acted to "fast-track" an additional $750,000 to an obviously bloated budget under dubious management, I have yet to discover it. The funding issue, which goes before the Public Works Committee on Oct. 28, won't even save the event—the 400th dropped its executive director, PR firm and corporate fundraising contract after requesting the cash.
Thus far, there is no evidence of anything more than token attempts (ie, celebrity lectures versus community dialogue) to justify the glorification of colonial history and the correlative neglect of Native American culture, and the manifold factors in the sculpting of the city's essence and soul. Oh, there's lip service aplenty, but nothing concrete to justify so manic and substantial a public investment. The success of events thus far has depended on the goodwill of participants and organizers such as the Santa Fe School of Cooking, and those participants have issued a steady stream of qualifications about the arbitrary marker of 400 years on the development of the city we know today as Santa Fe.
The slate of upcoming events remains alarmingly empty. Sherman Alexie, Carlos Fuentes and Anthony Bourdain are some top-shelf lecture guests—and ones who can address some of the whole event's failed underpinnings with humor and wit—but they alone (well, they and a dinner gala and a New Year's party) are an unconvincing excuse for Santa Fe's apparent blind devotion to a poorly constructed and mysteriously expensive commemoration.
More prevalent on the 400th website than engaging content or the promise of events that sound fun, educational or worthy of public funds is a slate of commemorative products. There are 1.5 humdrum T-shirts for each scheduled, legitimate, original event. Of course, the "store" is packed with traditional and contemporary iconic art of Santa Fe like, um, tank tops and toddler beanies. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the "eco-friendly" tote bags had to be shipped across an ocean—like a Chinese consumer conquistador—before arriving here in Santa Fe to capture hearts, minds and groceries.
In other words, the quatrocentenario is already making such previous disasters as Design Week look successful in retrospect. What is it with this town that makes financial accountability and competence so shockingly elusive? If it's the lithium in the water, it's understandable, but I'm starting to suspect it's just that we're still an easy mark, especially when we get our cultural pride played off our cultural guilt while someone whispers "tourism" in our ears.
Is it justifiable to celebrate Santa Fe's manifold cultural influences and drive economic activity through the trumpeting of the city's age and history? Absolutely. Is it justifiable to do so through the overarching theme of colonialism with a veneer of post-millennial cultural sensitivity? For some, probably it's fine, but it's still shortsighted and in poor taste. Is it justifiable to do so through the laughingly predictable mechanism of connected contractors and patron hookups and overpriced experts? Not so much. That's not a celebration or an economic driver, it's just another racket.
