Recently, John McHale, SapientNitro's executive creative director and global lead - experience design practice was in India for the Kyoorius Designyatra. Brand Equity caught up with him and quizzed him on how he got into experience design, the evolution of the designation and more.
Before you began working at Sapient, you were into book branding and cover design. From there to ECD and global lead of experience design at Sapient - how did you evolve into what you do today?
Book publishing was what I did right after school. When I was growing up, there were those 'Choose your own adventure' books, where you read a chapter and decided which path the characters went on next. I loved that and I saw that as the internet, something I was enamoured with the first time it happened. To me, the internet is a giant 'choose your own adventure' book, where you can just write your own path and do your own thing and explore.
I guess that's probably what experience design is. 'Explore' and 'experience' are two different words but they kind of mean the same thing for me. I taught myself HTML - that's what you had to do as a graphic designer in 1996/97. From there I went to a company called Modem Media which was the world's first digital advertising agency. I worked my way up there and got to work on some great brands and big websites. I think I was employee no. 98. But then I missed the intimacy of a family so I went from Connecticut to a small brand shop in Atlanta, Georgia and got to hone my craft a little bit more in terms of just thinking around a brand. From there I moved to another shop before Sapient happened.
I'd say my journey was like that of the tortoise and the hare - I am the tortoise, I just move along each step of the way, and eventually when it makes sense I make my next move. Nothing was calculated; I never thought I'd have a career in design. I thought I'd be selling books or music in the era of records and CDs. Everything I'm doing now is just the cherry on top of the sundae.
"I never thought I would have a career in design. I thought I would be selling books or music."
For the uninitiated, how would you define experience design? And, what does it mean to you personally?
If you really had to define it, I'd say maybe it is just creating a world for an idea to be effectively communicated down to a consumer. Take Uber for example. I need to find a car so I open up the app. That is such a perfect service, a perfect experience. I push a button, a car comes and gets me. That's experience design.
Personally, right now I'm exploring another dimension of that - the emotional side of things. What is experience design / emotional design? How can we influence somebody's emotions, or how can we put design into their hands at different states, and what are those emotional states? When we start doing that, it actually becomes much more like storytelling.
At Sapient we believe in story and technology, and I'm heavy on the story side. Let's tell stories of our brands or ideas, and really affect the consumer at the emotional side of things. And experience will naturally fall out of that. I'm actually moving emotion first, then story and then experience, and then finally technology. And I think what it does is - if you do it properly - elevate everything. It will elevate design; and it will elevate technology because you have to, a lot of times, create technologies to fulfil the ideas. So for me, emotion is a little up and front. I haven't totally though it out yet, but it's something I've been thinking a lot about.
Do you have any example of this emotional side you are talking about? Uber is not an emotional app, it's just a great service.
But you get great joy out of it, don't you? It's about the thought, "Hey, I got home safely." It removes an emotion - stress. A literal example would be something that we did for Share Happy - a machine that actually turns emotion into currency. Turns a smile - everybody smiles, wherever you are around the world - into a currency.
To answer your question: I don't know if there are examples out there yet that really exemplify what I'm looking for. But things are pulling the right lever in terms of the experiences that are close to that.
What or who are your design influences and what inspires you the most?
David Carson. Back in the day when I started design, I wasn't classically trained. I went school to play soccer and then I got into a band, so music was a heavy influence on me. The Smiths, Ride, Happy Mondays - bands that were coming out of England - really drove me probably more than design in the beginning.
And then I saw what David Carson was doing and I was, "Wow. I could probably do that." He was cutting words together and pasting them up, and newly inspired, I started designing all our flyers for the band and all our posters. So I taught myself poster design first and soon realised that I needed to understand light and space. Naturally, photography classes in school followed. That was the best I could do at that point; I was too far along in my English degree and my parents would have strangled me if I totally changed course.
Then there was a guy named Chip Kidd who was a book designer at the time. He really taught me about typography and constructing a story; because what's interesting in book design is that you have to draw in people from eight feet away (this was when you had store fronts; even those are going away). So the question was how do you design something so effective to bring them in?
And then there was Josef Muller-Brockmann, the Swiss designer. So I started with looking into these three and then tapping into others. For example, I love David Fincher (director) movies - just the way he uses mood. Every shot is a photograph and it just sets the tone. You can almost watch a David Fincher movie without words and know what's going on.
I'm also heavily influenced by music. To be totally truthful, I couldn't tell you a lot about leading edge designers. I'm in a place right now where my design sense is formed and I'm not designing a lot anymore. I'm leading design at Sapient; I want to see what the designers there are doing and then feed off of that, because they've got their fingers on the pulse so much more than I.
I respect RG/A, I respect AKQA, I respect Huge, but I couldn't tell you a lot of what they're doing. If you ask me what designers affect me or affected me, I have to go back 20 years or so to where I was actually being more affected in terms of my craft.
"By not being classically trained, I think I never fell into something structured and I was able to bounce around and pick up little things."
So you've pretty much taught yourself everything you know. You don't have a degree in design?
No. It was something I was actually ashamed of for a long time because I thought you had to have a degree to be legitimate in a field. Now I'm getting more and more comfortable with the fact that I'm not. I feel like I'm more of a child, a product of the things that I've experienced. I'm an experience designer probably because I'm a product of those things.
By not being classically trained, I think I never fell into something structured and I was able to bounce around and pick up little things. Almost like a sound wave - just picking up things wherever I moved. I'm kind of a free thinker in picking things up.
India hasn't fully risen to the potential of experience design, especially in digital agencies which are coming up in a big way. How important or not is it for agencies to consider an experience designer? India is so diverse, so the experiences are also diverse; there's no one size fits all. Where do you think an experience designer would fit into all that?
I think there is tremendous potential because when I was starting out, technology was changing rapidly and it was blinding in the beginning. It was always, "Oh my god, what is this? Okay woah, now we've got touchscreen. Now we have the thing that you can stand on and it moves you around." I think maybe now, young designers that are coming up have seen that, so they're starting out with a better baseline that we did. They're used to that kind of pace. They're born into technology.
If a totally new experience comes around that we don't know about, like Google Glass or something, they are conditioned to be more responsive than I think my generation was. They are able to recognise a new experience and its potential - I think much quicker than we could. Things like the iPhone and its potential with health and really being in the backing of people's lives and providing a lot of value - I think they understand that much faster.
I think that India has a leg up compared to the rest of the world because they're starting with that whole wealth of knowledge and are more accustomed to things changing.
I would be really excited to be here. The outlook is, "A lot of stuff has been written for me already, now what can I do next?"
"Design is not science, it is not technology; it is actually art, a craft."
Do you have a 'you' in SapientNitro's India offices?
Do I have a 'me'? Yeah, Sachin [Patil]. The way he looks at experience is different. He walked through Nepal or some place for two months just to figure out what space meant. I don't want to paraphrase him because I was so blown away by what he was saying, but he said that everything was within 15 feet of him and he wanted to get out of that.
When you talk design in India, let's begin with just whatever you see around you on roads, malls, airports. What did you think?
I'll tell you about when I was getting off the plane. I was just following random red arrows with nothing else. All the time I was thinking, "I hope I'm going in the right direction." Figuring out user experience in terms of getting around places needs to be priority.
If you look at Swiss design (and yes, that affected my career too), in Amsterdam or Switzerland, the signage design is so elegant. The Tube in London, streets signs on highways, etc. are so clean. The type is chosen specifically so that it's easy to understand and read. That's where I think you need to start and then build on it; start with infrastructure. But I can't comment on that, you guys have much more experience.
In terms of generalities, the potential here is amazing.
"A designer is as important as a doctor, a technologist or a scientist. Be proud of it, embrace it."
In a marketplace like India where we're waking up to the possibility of a designation such as yours existing, what would you say would be the typical qualifications of a person who's looking to be one?
Design is so new that I hope it's not discouraged as a practice, not frowned upon. Somebody said to me that finally India is culturally accepting that.
It's not science, not technology, it's actually art; it's a craft. And people have to recognise that - it's actually a very important thing and it's amazing the impact it has on people's lives. Take the iPhone for example and look what it's doing for people, what it's done for the world. It could be said the device has actually changed the world.
I think that, whoever they may be, the people of this country need to understand that a designer is as important as a doctor, a technologist or a scientist. When I got married I had to tell my father-in-law, "I'm going to be a designer. I'm not going to be a lawyer, I'm not going to be a doctor; I'm going to be designer."
I think that people have to be brave. Embrace it and be proud of it as a craft. A certain pride needs to manifest itself in your ability to speak up and say, "I want to learn and take risks." And if you're trying to push design, don't be afraid to be criticised.
You have to be proud of who you are and be okay to make mistakes and to learn. These are traits that I look for in people - their willingness to take positive criticism and work with that. I think when you have the right leaders, it's amazing what you can do with someone who's willing to learn. Somebody who is not as talented compared to others, but their willingness to learn is better, will surpass inherent talent.
"When I used to hire people, I looked at typographical skills. I didn't care if they knew Photoshop."
In a typical resume that comes to you, what are the qualifications you look at?
When I used to hire people, I looked at typography - we want typographical skills. I didn't care if they knew Photoshop. I went for people who understood type, space, colour theory - like what went together - and when you put that all together, how the composition comes together. It may not ever come together in, say, something like Photoshop. I couldn't care less what programs you know, I really don't. It's about how your work looks and if you understand what you're doing. Some of that can be taught, but not all.
Back in the day when the internet was really getting started, people were designing so many things in Photoshop. They were using Photoshop as the craft, and then it became a crutch for people and they forgot actually what to do. I used to call them Photoshop designers; they weren't graphic designers, and I would not hire them.

As a personal trainer for 10 years, I have tried every type of exercise and have trained everyone from college athletes to 90 year old retirees. I played soccer in college and after college I needed a competitive sport to play so I started training for triathlons. After getting skinny and fast, but not strong, I knew I needed a form of exercise that challenged me in a competitive way but made me strong. Being a trainer that could not do more than one pull-up also forced me to look for something more.
Crossfit was the answer. I started doing workouts on my own at first. Then I decided it was time to step it up, join a crossfit gym, and get a real workout in. I have never loved a "sport†so much. Crossfit makes me strong, flexible, and makes me love coming to a gym. Try it, you won't look back.

The driver of the granite-laden truck lost control and hit a coach of Nanded Express at a level crossing in Anantpur district.
Five passengers travelling in H1 coach of Begaluru-Nanded and the truck driver were killed in the accident, that also led to derailment of two other coaches — S1 and S2.
A. Venkatesh Naik, a member of Karnataka assembly from Devadurg constituency in Raichur district, was among the train passengers killed in the disaster.
The accident occurred at a level crossing at Madakasira in Penukonda mandal of Anantapur district around 2.30 a.m. when the train was on its way to Nanded in Maharashtra from Bengaluru.
The speeding truck was carrying huge granites and the driver apparently failed to notice the railway gate on the recently constructed road.
Such was the impact of the collision that the H1 passenger car was ripped apart by a huge granite. All dead and almost all injured were from this coach.
Some passengers in S1 and S2 sustained minor injuries due to derailment. Anantapur district collector K. Sasidhar said 20 buses were arranged for the stranded passengers to take them to their respective destinations.
The injured were shifted to a government-run hospital at Penukonda. Andhra Pradesh Health Minister Kamineni Srinivas and another minister from the district Palle Raghunath Reddy called on the injured and directed the officials to provide best possible treatment to them.
The accident affected the movement on Bengaluru-Guntakal route. Railway officials with the help of local authorities were engaged in removing the derailed coaches to clear the track.
KPCC President G Parameshwara condoled the death of Venkatesh Naik and said he prayed to God to give strength to his family members to recover the sad demise.

La notion de loi dans l'oeuvre de Pareto
By studying statistical data, Pareto showed that the parameters which characterize the distribution of income are stable. He had so put in evidence an empirical law. The importance which he granted to this result translates methodological conceptions very remote from those that Walras defended and we are, then, worn to think that Pareto takes back simply the methodological principles which Mill and Jevons had developed. This idea must be qualified. In his first works, Pareto appears as a heir of Mill, but, from 1897, he evolves towards a methodology which he considers as experimental. He pushes aside, in particular, the arguments upon which Mill called when he supported that the political economy is essentially an abstract science which leans on reasoning a priori. The method in the political economy is that of any science. The only criterion of the truth is the correspondence of the results of the reasoning with the data of the empirical observation.

I said I would never do it but I did. I tried out online dating. I met this girl and we really hit it off through text. We went through a lot of the same stuff. I asked if she wanted to meet up and she did so she gave me her number. We have been texting back in forth for the past few days. Should I have brough up our meet up again by now. I find myself always starting the conversation but it goes on for a few hours. Today she was at work so I got the last word in about not wanting to distract her at work. She didn't have to comment back so she didn't obviously. I don't want to double text, so should I wait till tomorrow to start a new conversation or maybe skip a day?

Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake (Paula Deen)
Recipe by yooper
I originally submitted this without trying it, as it was in response to a request. I finally got around to trying it last week, and realized there was a mistake, as the ingredients in the cake part should have read: 8 tablespoons butter, melted. Also, you can't "pour" the cake into the pan it has to be patted into the pan like a pie crust. Anyway, here is the revised version. I also cut down on the sugar, using about 12 ounces or 3/4 of the box. This is awesome-a Paula Deen classic!
Top Review by NoCookDonna
I haven't made one of these yet, but a woman I work with made some (She made enough for each of us other women to bring home with us) for our company Thanksgiving Dinner and it was delicious. I did not realize the same recipe was on here until after I had asked her for it. Hers does have some notes on variations that I thought some of you might be interested in: 1. Pineapple Gooey Butter Cake - Substitute one 20 oz can of crushed pineapple, drained thoroughly, to the cream cheese filling & proceed as directed. 2. Banana Gooey Butter Cake: Prepare cream cheese filling as directed, beating in 2 ripe bananas instead of pumpkin. Proceed as directed. 3. Peanut Butter Gooey Butter Cake: Use a chocolate cake mis for the crust. Add 2 cup creamy peanut butter to the cream cheese filling instead of pumpkin. Proceed as directed above. Thanks Yooper for entering this recipe on Za'ar.

Most of people that I've come across (baby-boomers & Gen-X) with would tell me how things were between the 70s and early 2000s. Things like music, social life, tv, entertainment to even being able to buy ice cream for less than 15 cents. Sometimes I tend to agree with them and think why isn't life as interesting as it use to be in their times as a pre-teen at least, I wish I was born earlier (born in Dec 1992). Wouldn't it be nice buy a McDonalds meal for 18 cents or a 3 course at a restaurant for 58 cents.
Some places around the world had better days in the previous decades compared to now, and Zimbabwe is perfect example. If you've lived or visited there in the 80s & 90s and followed it up til now, you'll now what I mean.
Most Helpful Guy
Some things were better, others were much worse. Yes, Zimbabwe was indeed a happier place in the 70s but I could give you tons of counter-examples. Take my girlfriend's home country South Korea. If my girlfriend lived in the 1970s, she would have been born into a brutal right-wing, nationalist dictatorship. Anyone who was only suspected to disagree with the government was hunted down and thrown in prison for years. People who dared to support North Korea (which in fact did better than South Korea back then) was tortured and killed. In June 1980, there was a famous uprising of University students and professors in Gwangju (south-east) who peacefully demonstrated for freedom and democracy. The South Korean government sent troops and ordered its military to use violence to make an end to the uprising. In the following days, over 600 peaceful protesters were brutally killed. At the same time, the Korean government decided to go through an ultra-fast industrialization and the sacrifices were very high. Factory workers were practically slaves, working 18 hours a day for a bowl of rice. On top of that, the country was still incredibly poor from the war 20 years earlier and many people died from starvation or disease. Life really wasn't fun.
But even if you take less crazy examples, you won't just find good things. Take my country Switzerland: yes, there was peace and democracy and yes, we did do economically well since we didn't participate in world war two but the society was ridiculously stuck-up and conservative. Women weren't allowed to vote until 1971. In one canton (~ state), they weren't even allowed to vote until freaking 1991. Handicapped people like myself were abandoned by their parents and put into miserable, dark institutions where they were left completely alone and were sometimes even sexually abused by the staff without being able to defend themselves. And there was a law that made it illegal for unmarried couples to live in the same apartment/house. So if my girlfriend and I lived in the 1970s, we would have never found an apartment and if we had anyway, we would have to constantly worry to get thrown in jail.
And I'm pretty sure similar stuff existed in the US too. So were some things better when our parents were young? Sure. Would I want to live 40 years ago? No thanks.00|00|0

The incarnation of Energy, thunder and electricity. Ukai is believed to have no permanent home, and instead to be in constant movement all around Eifel, being unable to keep still for long periods of time due to the imense amount of energy circulating though it's body. Even when summoned, Ukai's body is in some sort of movement, twitching ears, swishing tails, wiskers shifting every other moment, small electrical currents running between them. Ukai is a large mammal, roughly the size of a Kar'tijan, but built strangely, a mixture of cheetah and rabbit. It has long pointed ears that stand ridgidly back towards it's hindquarters, which can be roated around to get the best reception for whatever Ukai is listening to. Powerful hind quarters propell it foreward almost faster than it's smaller front legs can keep up, and it's tail is long and thin, acting like a rudder. The tail is tufted at the end and the ears slightly fluffy, with small tufts of fur adorning the backs of all for ankles. As Ukai moves about Eifel, invisibley fast, these extra bits of fur collect static from the air and store it withing Ukai's body, so that it can be released later. This is not only how Ukai helps Asagi to create storms, but also where Ukai gets it's sustenence from, it's body feeding on the extra reserves of energy not needed for storms or magic. Ukai is pale gold and tan, like a lion or jackrabbit.
In battle, Ukai has access to all the lightning spells, it can also attack opponents with retractable claws and sharp teeth, made nearly impossible to avoid by it's blinding speed. In addition, Ukai can attack foes with it's tail, which can sometimes release stored electricity when it strikes, hitting them with both a physical and elemental attack. When it is dismissed, Ukai runs off, unable to remain so still for that long, it almost always causes a large gust of wind as air rushes in to fill the previously occupied space.

I started a found art project about a year and half ago called "You Found Art!". Finished 4" x 4" mini canvases are dropped off randomly (with the help of friends) at different places around California. Each canvas is packaged and hand-numbered. This is an ongoing project and will continue indefinitely. I'm having way too much fun.

The Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Plantar Fasciitis occurred when the tissue or ligaments called the Plantar Fascia which connects your heel bone to your toes becomes weak, swollen or inflamed. Most people feel pain in their heels usually when they first get on their feet In the morning or after sitting or lying down for a while. Standing for a long time of climbing stairs can also cause pain in your foot. The pain usually becomes worse as the day goes on but subsides in the evening when you are more relaxed.
Main Causes of Plantar Fasciitis
The primary cause of Plantar Fasciitis is because of strain to the ligament called the Plantar Fascia which also supports your arch. The repeated pressure causes pain and swelling.
People who pronate excessively who have high or low arches are more susceptible to Plantar Fasciitis.
If you suffer from tight Achilles tendons or calf muscles, you are also at risk for developing Plantar Fasciitis.
Those who live very active lifestyles and take part in sports or activities that have repetitive movements causing strain are likely to have Plantar Fasciitis.
If you are overweight the strain on your feet and arches because of the excess weight may also cause Plantar Fasciitis.
Lastly, the wrong shoes mainly running shoes have a significant role to play in the cause and further aggravation of Plantar Fasciitis.
How to Treat and Manage Plantar Fasciitis
There is not a single treatment for Plantar Fasciitis that will be effective for everyone. Therefore, you may need to try a few methods to find relief.
- Cut back on activities that cause your feet pain and take a rest period.
- Avoid running or walking on hard surfaces excessively.
- You can use ice and over the counter medication to reduce pain and swelling.
- Some stretching exercises such as toe stretches, calf stretches, and towel stretches first thing in the morning or before activities can also help.
- Most importantly well fitting supportive shoes with a cushioned sole or heel cups that provide arch support should be worn especially for running.
Anatomy of a Good Plantar Fasciitis Running Shoe
The choice of running shoe for Plantar Fasciitis will depend on your foot type and stride, if you supinate or pronate and how high or low your arches are. For running where there is a lot of hard impacts on your feet strong arch support, cushioning and good shock absorption is a necessity.
The main features to look at are;
- Strong heel support such as a heel cup.

20,000 Hasidic Jews Protest in NY Against Israel
Tens of thousands of members of ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities Sunday flooded lower Manhattan's Foley Square to protest Israeli legislation that they believe would force yeshiva students to be drafted into the military.
An NYPD spokesman Sunday night said there were no arrests associated with the protest.
The event was calm and no violence erupted, said Jacob Kornbluh, an Orthodox Jewish blogger who also writes for various Orthodox news outlets, who was at the event.

Spot check: Lenox enforces parking rules
LENOX — Summertime, and the parking is tougher, or so it seems. But in year four of an on-again, off-again seasonal enforcement drive, Town Hall and police officials are confident that residents and visitors have a better handle on parking restrictions in the downtown area.
The widely-publicized three-hour parking limit is in effect from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week, as indicated by posted signs on every block in the central business district. The new rules were approved by the Select Board in May 2015 and were test-driven last summer.
Additional blue signs have gone up recently at crosswalks directing motorists to municipal lots.
"We have plenty of parking in the center of town," Police Chief Stephen O'Brien said. In addition to on-street spaces, there are lots behind Berkshire Bank on Main Street, the northeast corner of the Housatonic and Church Street intersection, as well as behind Town Hall.
Town Planner Gwen Miller commissioned a study of parking inventory downtown and tallied 356 on-street and municipal lot spaces for the general public, as well as 486 slots posted by various businesses for customers.
"We found last year that neither on-street nor off-street public parking spaces ever reached 100 percent occupancy," she said. "There was always parking available someplace in the village center, be it lunch or dinner, weekend or weekday, holiday or no holiday, beautiful and sunny or cold and rainy."
"What most people find challenging is a parking space immediately in front of their destination," Miller declared. "But there is parking available in downtown Lenox if you are willing and able to enjoy a short stroll through the lovely village center."
As of July 1, parking violators may find tickets with $10 fines on their windshields as the Police Department's full-time summer traffic officer Matt Fenton begins making the rounds. His alternating schedule will include weekdays and weekends on a rotating basis through the end of August.
"We'll do exactly what we did last year," O'Brien said. Fenton has "a pretty fluid schedule, so he'll come in when we think we need him the most."
"He's very good at what he does," the chief pointed out. "There were very few complaints, if any, about his enforcement and his technique."
The parking rules are well-established, O'Brien said, "and they should be fairly obvious to everyone who parks in the center of town. This isn't hard. I think we have plenty of signage."
"Lenox has plenty of parking," Miller emphasized. "With new signs installed last summer and a parking map available on the town website (townoflenox.com) and via the Lenox Chamber of Commerce, it is only becoming easier for visitors, residents and employees of local businesses to take advantage of an existing resource."
The decision to resume the enforcement of parking rules during tourist season got off to a rocky start in 2013, when two-hour limits were suddenly enforced randomly with minimal advance notice, after decades of a hands-off approach.
Town officials and some business owners complained that parking had become scarce at times because a few employees were parking all day or evening, taking up prime spots in the historic district's compact shopping and dining area.
At least 324 tickets were issued that summer, though only 230 were paid. Some violators were peeved or even infuriated, and they were not shy about venting their frustrations at Town Hall.
One of Town Manager Christopher Ketchen's first decisions shortly after he began his tenure in April 2014 was to declare a hiatus so regulations could be reviewed and business owners, along with their customers, could offer suggestions.
Last summer, the parking limit was extended to three hours, but only warnings were issued from late June to late July. As Ketchen said, "the enforcement was very effective, since I was one of the 84 who was cited."
Two of the more unusual warnings handed out by enforcement officer Fenton were to drivers who double-parked on a one-way segment of Housatonic Street in the heart of the downtown shopping area, blocking the traffic flow.
Tickets with fines were handed out last August, resulting in 92 tickets issued. Of the total, 78 violators paid the $10 fines, said Town Collector Diana Kirby. Some drivers were cited for parking too far from the curb or for taking up two spots.
Nearly all parking violations in town carry $10 fines, except in a handicapped accessible spot without a displayed and valid tag — that costs $50.

At a Glance
Enforcement of parking limits begins this Friday in downtown Lenox.
Hours: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week
Limits: Three hours in central business district blocks where signs are posted
Availability: 356 free spaces on-street and in municipal lots; 486 designated by businesses for customers
Parking lots: Behind Berkshire Bank on Main Street, on the northeast corner of the Housatonic and Church street intersection, and behind Town Hall near the intersection of Main and Walker streets, and Old Stockbridge Road
Enforcement: Various days and hours, seven days a week, by a full-time Police Department traffic officer on a rotating schedule. Penalties: $10 fine for most parking violations; $50 in a handicapped-only spot without a displayed and valid tag

The Powerslide Swell 125 Inline Skates are something special and as you can see very different from a regular pair of inline skates. You are probably thinking why 3 wheels? Hopefully we can help answer that.
The way the Powerslide Swell is set up with its 3 x 125mm wheels means that you get all the advantages of having large wheels such as more speed, more comfort, less vibration and being safer over rougher ground. Whats different about having 3 large wheels instead of 4 large wheels is that the skate is more manoeuvrable thanks to the shorter wheel base, lower to the ground and lighter because there is less hardware. So basically this skate gives you the best of both worlds.
On top of all this the actual boot of the skate is incredible, made using Power knit materials similar to what you find on high end running shoes the comfort is second to none. Combined with Powerslide's new Swell shell and cuff you have a skate that offers unrivalled support, excellent stability and a fit that keeps nearly everyone happy.
Please note a brake is included separately in the box so there is no need to buy one.
Size advice - With these go for your regular shoe size.

Daniel Govan
Personality Number 1
Daniel Govan is a male celebrity.
He was born on Saturday July 4th 1829, in Unknown.
Daniel Govan radiates with a dynamic and efficient energy. He appears controlled and capable. Daniel values courage and effort in the face of difficulties and these qualities show. Others can sense that he will not be pushed around.
Daniel should dress in a dignified and correct manner, caring for the details of his appearance. While he may spend most of his time in staid business dress or suits, bright and cheerful colors work well for him. Govan is fashionable, but has his own style.
Daniel Govan's appearance suffers more than most people when he is overweight. Overweight directly contradicts the type of personality Daniel is trying to project. Straight lines and square corners accent his good physique and enhance his appearance as a leader.
Govan is recognized as a pioneer; he has his own ideas of how to do things. He is a risk-taker, original and highly creative.
Daniel Govan should be wary of appearing too aggressive or unreceptive. He can intimidate people if he does not soften his exterior somewhat. By doing this, Daniel will attract less confident people who will be more willing to approach him with their thoughts and suggestions.
You and Daniel
About Daniel's Personality number
Govan's Personality number often serves as a censoring device, both in terms of what Daniel sends out, as well as what he allows to approach.
It discriminates in the kinds of people and information Daniel Govan lets enter his heart and mind.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. -- For the third straight season and for the fourth time in five seasons, the West Coast Conference will send multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament, as the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee revealed its bracket on Sunday. Two West Coast Conference teams - BYU and Gonzaga - will compete in the field of 68 both in the West Region.
West Coast Conference regular season and tournament champion Gonzaga University (28-6 overall, 15-3 WCC) earned the No. 8 seed in the West Region, and will open play against No. 9 Oklahoma State Friday in San Diego. This season marks Gonzaga's 16th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament and its 17th overall. The Bulldogs won the WCC Tournament with a 75-64 victory over No. 2 seed BYU.
BYU (23-11 overall, 13-5 WCC) earned an at-large bid to the NCAA field for the second time in three seasons. The Cougars collected a No. 10 seed in the West Region and will face No. 7 Oregon on Thursday in Milwaukee. BYU dropped a hard-fought 100-96 overtime decision to the Ducks in Eugene Dec. 21 after leading for the bulk of the contest.
With a pair of teams in the 2014 field, this marks the 14th time in conference history that the West Coast Conference has sent multiple teams into the Big Dance. Nine of the multi-bid years have come since 2000, with the WCC sending 26 teams into the NCAA Tournament since the turn of the century.

We're not ones to hide our features; it would be shame to spare the world of as much of us as possible. But even we can appreciate the occasional need to cover up. Maybe you're trying to protect your precious face from the sun. Maybe you need to slip past an undeserving ex. Maybe you need to conceal your celebrity identity when leaving the "dentist" where you got your "root canal." Such occasions call for some coverage.
The typical first responder in these emergencies is a trusty pair of sunglasses. With a chic pair of aviators or wayfarers in tow, anyone can transform into a red-carpet star, or at least look like one while at the grocery store. They're easy, fast, and go with any outfit. They keep people guessing. Don't think people deserve to look into the windows of your soul? Sunglasses are the blinds. They do have their drawbacks, namely that they're easy to lose, often very expensive, and carry the threat of sunglasses tan (which makes your face look like it wore a bikini top outside).
In that event, another trusty option is the hat. Hats have made a laudable comeback in recent years. No longer are they resigned to once-a-year outings at the Kentucky derby. Hats are a perfectly acceptable piece in a wardrobe, and for good reason. They're especially handy when your hair just won't cooperate, but then again once you put the hat on, you give up any chance of your hair looking normal for the rest of the day. Isn't that almost like incriminating yourself? Plus, while designs have come a long way, we've seen plenty of hat-astrophes in our day.
We personally like to mix it up. We'll wear one, the other, both, or neither. And if you're really not sure, we do make the best silk dresses in NYC, and if you're wearing one of those, you could be wearing a diving-bell and you'd still look fab.

Gardai fear serial sex beast is on the loose in south Dublin
Gardai fear a serial sex beast is on the loose and may strike again, after it emerged that a second woman was the victim of an attempted sexual assault in south Dublin.
Earlier this month, a brave young woman in her 20s spoke out to reveal how she screamed and kicked the assailant as he tried to drag her into a secluded wooded area in Shankill, at around 7pm on Sunday, January 3.
The young woman posted an account of the attack on Facebook, which went viral, warning that the sick attacker tried to "drag her into trees".
It has now emerged that a lady who is aged in her 40s was targeted at a location close to that incident on December 4 and she was also able to escape.
"There are a lot of similarities between these two cases and this is something that investigating gardaí are looking at in great detail," a source explained.
"These incidents happened a month apart and within a few hundred metres of each other."
In the more recent case, the young woman – who managed to fight off an attacker who dragged her into trees and attempted to sexually assault her just yards from her home – appealed on social media for women to be vigilant.
That incident happened near the Corbawn Lane area of Shankill. The victim was making her way home when she noticed a man in his mid-40s following her.
"I was walking home from the shop past the Dart station in Shankill and there was a man, about mid-40s, lingering on the path," she said on Facebook.
"I obviously thought it was a bit odd so I just sped up and overtook him on the path.
"I had my headphones in. He ended up following me into my estate and attacked me and tried to sexually assault me when I was only a few metres from my own house. He tried to drag me into the trees, but thankfully I was able to get away by yelling my head off and giving him a sharp kick.
"I am very lucky to be pretty much unharmed, and he didn't see which house was mine."
"I just felt like I should post this here as a warning to everyone to please be careful," she wrote.
"If you see a strange man or woman, just ring your parents or a friend and get home as quick as you can. Keep all your senses aware – no headphones in darker, quieter areas, and always stay near built-up areas if you can.

What a question, so pregnant with possibility without progeny or responsibility. The timing couldn't be better. The left advocates as if this is the epitome of Western Civilization while the Social Security trust fund, the Ponzi scheme of all time that demands a constant infusion of new contributors, approaches the precipice.
We're told not to be intolerant of same sex marriages as the rate of divorce in heterosexuals is so high, 50% or more, and there's so much promiscuity in heterosexual marriages. We're expected to ignore the famous promiscuity of homosexuals at the same time homosexual transmission of HIV/AIDS is responsible for the majority of cases in this country.
We're told with a straight face that same sex marriage, supposedly because of it's binary arrangement, doesn't necessarily mean other arrangements are permissible or inevitable. But why not polygamy or polyandry when that's what those folks want, and we must make up for the lack of progeny in same sex marriages and meet the demands of Social Security. We need more bodies to contribute to Social Security, whether by procreation or immigration.
Why must incestuous relations be forbidden if the dominant individual really needs to have sex with another member of the family who's not the spouse? They can use condoms, birth control or abortions to avoid genetic mishaps. Any psychological trauma should receive appropriate therapy from any society that really cares for its members.
What's wrong with really loving your little Fido. The critter must enjoy it as much as you. There's no problem with transmitting pathogens between species. We have antibiotics and 21st century science.
God help us, please. Between socialism and hedonism, if this is the epitome of Western Civilization we are doomed, or should be.

I am writing this in August 1, 2008. As of the writing of this post this page is completely and absolutely wrong in its game list and its description. The writer of this page is in fact completely oblivious as to what a narrator is. So I have written this post to serve as a guideline. It will be a long post and it will be a very complex post. If you do not wish to read it nor the article's description as to what an unreliable narrator is (after I edit it, right now it is colossally wrong), please refrain from adding a game. I will do my best to keep this article as simple as possible as someone without an education in literature may be able to grasp. I also tried to make this post as spoiler free as possible: most unreliable narrators you see here are quite obviously unreliable at the beginning of the movie or story.
Now to begin:
What is a narrator?
A Narrator is an entity within a story that tells the story to the audience. In literature Narrators are pretty much clear cut out and obvious. They are the voice through which the author conveys its message. They can be character narrators (those are characters and narrators in the story), third person narrators (omniscient and limited), multiple focalized narrators, and many more. However once we translate the concept of narrator to a film it becomes more complex. A narrator in film is commonly presented as a voice over that drives the story forward, it is generally third person omniscient.
Narrators in Literature
Pretty easy to figure out, jsut grab any book.
Narrators in Movies
Henry Hill in Goodfellas
Narrators in GamesThere are no good examples I can remember
What is an unreliable Narrator?
Well first of all there are no reliable narrators. We can asses the reliability of a narrator through what he tells us, shows us, and does. An unreliable narrator is a narrator whose words cannot be trusted. Why? There can be a multitude of reasons I'll name a few of which I've seen, the narrator is: a liar, a demented person, a retarded person, wishes to confuse you on purpose, has a certain disability (blindness, deafness), is a drug addict and his senses are whacked, etc. But unreliable characters are not unreliable narrators. Most of the times in movies (and most liekly games) unreliable narrators will be characters within the story or the protagonists, not so much the omniscient third person types of narrators.
U.N.s in Literature
Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, if you pick up something by Borges you normally get unreliable narrators, ooooh also Pedro Paramo has a very good unreliable narrator you won't know what the fuck is going on half the time.
U.N.s in Movies
The Narrator in Fight Club, Guy Pearce in Memento, Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.
U.N.s in Games
Solid Snake in MGS4 and 1 (when he is mind controlled by Mantis) and I quite frankly am not entirely sure, I cannot recall ever playing a video game and going: this is a clear cut case of an unreliable narrator. Why? Because games are different than most art forms. They rely on gameplay and having easy to use controls. So you can't really make a really artistic game in which the main character is blind and have people bumping around, or having psychodelic hallucinations because that jsut makes crappy gameplay.
Now some games which might be aded to the list but I haven't played them myself so I'm not sure. I hear that in Kane & Lynch one of the characters sees civilians as cops and shoots everyone (THAT IS AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR IF I HAVE HEAR CORRECTLY), I think you could also put down GTA III with mind altering drugs that change gameplay, and GTA IV with drunk driving that changes gameplay as well, but those examples do not really make an unreliable narrator you need someone you can't trust at all to be unreliable.
What are not unreliable Narrators
Unreliable Narrators are not unreliable characters nor characters whose personalities or identities are shown to be different in a plot twist. To use an example the Joker in the Dark Knight movie is an extremely unreliable character, he is a pathological liar, is constantly reinventing himself and anything he says cannot be taken at face value, however he is NOT an unreliable narrator even if he lies about his origin story in the movie. Why? BECAUSE HE IS NOT A NARRATOR! For example the characters or Requiem for a Dream are all drug addicts who do not see reality entirely well at certian points of the movie, are they unreliable narrators? No because they are characters and never narrate anything.
Also for example in Assassin's Creed your master turns out to be the bad guy. THIS IS A PLOT TWIST NOT AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR. Again because he is a character not a narrator.

I have no problem with Detroit officials meeting with Adam "Pacman" Jones, as they reportedly will do Friday morning. The Lions are also well within their rights to attend a private workout Jones will hold in New Orleans following Tulane's pro day. The Lions are nearly barren at cornerback and are obligated to investigate fully every option for improving the position.
JonesShould they actually sign Jones? I'm far less certain about that.
Let's put it this way: Jones has never been reliable in his NFL career. He botched multiple chances in Tennessee, where Lions coach Jim Schwartz was his defensive coordinator, and also in Dallas. He's been suspended for a total of 20 regular season games because of multiple violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy and is almost certainly down to his last chance to play in the NFL.
Schwartz saw Jones' undeniable talent up close with the Titans, and he probably has better insight than most into his true makeup and character. I don't worry so much about the potential distraction Jones could cause with the Lions. To me, the only question should be whether they can actually trust him to play a full season without finding off-field trouble. Otherwise, the entire exercise is pointless.
Justin of Detroit just wrote to the mailbag: "If he's in shape, Pacman would be the best cornerback on the Lions roster."
That's true, without a doubt. He would also be their best punt returner and possibly their top slot receiver as well. But for how long? That's something the Lions will have to do their best to judge Friday.

Technology, Mobile Phones Aid Quest to Make Everyone Count
Having an identity is part of living in a modern society, and the key to accessing public services, bank accounts, and jobs. But how should developing countries with tight budgets go about building a national system that records births and deaths and establishes identities?
A panel including representatives from Ghana, Moldova, and Canada explored that question and related issues Friday at Making Everyone Count: Identification for Development, during the World Bank-IMF Annual Meetings. The event was live-streamed in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish and moderated by Kathy Calvin, president and CEO of the United Nations Foundation.

The art of contouring is today's version of female magic tricks. How someone can transform a round, puffy face to a slimming, angular shape with the look of a goddess is simply amazing. One of the key steps for achieving this look is a highlighter.
Though highlighters are generally subdued hues of whites and tans, a new product that launched on Etsy is causing beauty gurus to lose their minds over this whimsical palate of sparkles and pastels. The Bitter Lace Beauty "Prism" palate is a handmade compact of rainbow shades that brings your Lisa Frank days of unicorns and fairies to life. Dream come true?
Whether you choose to mix the colors or use them separately, your face is destined to glow. Plus the color is so concentrated, you can double the highlighter as an eyeshadow. I'm dying to try it out, but it's currently sold out online. Would you try this amazing new palate?
