I am not gonna narrate the story or give reviews here but would try to look media from peoples' eyes. It was interesting at the same time discomforting seeing the movie with people around blaming the media industry, which I entered with great struggle. It was reality and I couldn't have stopped them for blaming so. At some point the movie was telling us what we learnt in college as to how to get stories by observing and eavesdropping.
It was a bold movie showcasing how news channels sensationalize NEWS to increase their TRPs faced by stiff competition in media to bring interesting stories. I didn't feel bad of entering this industry and this movie added much more positive vibes in me to remind me that I here for a purpose and there's a patchy path ahead..
It is horrible to see incidents like this where because of self pressure, Journalist play a dirty role ignoring the real NEWS. Yet another shocking incident reported on Aug 21, 2010. (http://wearethebest.wordpress.com/2010/08/21/for-a-few-tv-rating-points-more-a-life-was-lost/)
The theater was looking empty and people next to me were commenting saying this has turned out to be a comedy movie. They never understood the plot which sent a strong message on a serious note. For public, if there are no well known faces/actors in such movies it turns out 'not so good' movie. I agree it is individual's choice to give reviews but the purpose is getting lost in the midway. Anyways all praises to directors and producer for making a lively movie without big names……

Once again, we're looking at an exemption from unconstitutional gun ban bills for active and retired police. Last time, it was (and still is) New York and Texas (since rescinded). This time it's Connecticut, whose legislators have returned to their civilian disarmament bills to "modify" their provisions to exempt the law enforcement community, both past and present. abcnews.go.com reports that . . .
The revisions expand the list of inspectors and enforcement officers who can legally possess and purchase the banned firearms to include sworn and certified officers at the department of motor vehicles, the chief state's attorney office, the department of energy and environmental protection and some constables with police certification. It exempts such officers from the certificate requirement for long gun ownership, and allows them to maintain possession of assault weapons and large capacity magazines after their service ends by registering them.
So it's one rule for citizens and another rule for the protected class known as police. It's hard to imagine a more outrageous example of the elitism that informs the politicians bent on civilian disarmament (remembering the police are civilians too).
The revisions sailed through CT's legislature. Monday, the Senate approved it 33-1. The House of Representatives OK'ed it by a 131-15 vote. Malloy's pen will skate across the cop carve-out presently. Republican Sen. Joe Markley was the only senator to oppose Monday's bill.
"I think if we acknowledge that we are putting law enforcement officers at risk by limiting their ability to defend themselves," he said, "I think we have to acknowledge that we're putting homeowners at risk by limiting their ability to defend themselves."
A lone voice of reason in a slave state. Which has clearly lost its mind.
The bill also clarifies the status of .22-caliber rimfire rifles, defining them as assault weapons when fitted with a detachable magazine and more than one of several features including a folding or telescoping stock, bayonet mount or flash suppressor.
With a bit of modification, you too can turn an Ruger 10-22 into an "assault weapon." Or not, if you live in Connecticut.
Saying that, if you're a CT res who ordered a 10-22 that [now] qualifies as an assault weapon before April 4 and it didn't arrive until later you're good. As long as you register it. But you can't sell or transfer the rifle in state. Out of state? Fine.
If you're a cop or ex-cop? Hmmm. I don't think you can mod a 10-22 "assault weapon"-style. Unless you do or did so as part of your job. If not, I guess you have to console yourself with your taxpayer-funded "high capacity" AR-15. Or two. Or three.
There's your common sense gun control.
66 Responses to Constitution State Carve-Out for Connecticut Cops
I would almost want states like CT to go full-on fascist, just so I could stand just outside the border and say, "This is what y'all asked for. Now you've got it."
People do that to us in California. Look where that's gotten you.
Except that it may have been only 51% of the registered voters that wanted it. Since I'm a California resident I know what it's like to have rights denied simply because of your zip code. Forcing some to give up their rights because of address sets a bad example which can spread quickly. I'm old enough to remember when most states were may issue and I'd hate to see us lose that ground.
Unfortunately, standing just outside the border would mean you're either in New York, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island. Leave your guns at home.
So you'll be standing in the even-more facist Mass or NY? Or will you be in a boat?
I'm thinking offshore with a liberation force.
Geography was never my strong suit. But you get the point.
Massachusetts is in better shape than Connecticut right now. They can still own AR's, AK's and pre-ban magazines. It's one of several states I can see my self moving to after New Hampshire and Virginia.
Beware Mass. While its currently better than Connecticut who knows how long that will last. Plus this state is notorious for taking 8 weeks+ to process gun ownership applications(LTC). I live outside of Boston and had to wait 7 months for the state to "grant" me my right to bear arms.
I mean this civilly. As a resident of CT I have to say it wasn't what we asked for. I was at the Capitol 3 times with thousands of other pro gun people that testified against these bills. The underlying reason the bill passes in April was that Governor Malloy Bullied to push it through, and the President Pro Tempore Donald Williams and Sen Majority Leader Looney had preconceived wishes to restrict legal gun ownership as much as possible. They used an Emergency Certification to, in the final passage of the bill, to push it through and skip the usual Committee process. From 138 page bill to law in 2 days. It is difficult to take a real count of what the people want, especially as it is so hard to figure out what will be delivered after the promises have faded, but I believe the people of CT are not getting what they were promised or wanted. Those that think they did really don't know what happened. On top of this all Gov. Malloy is trying to further destroy transparency by running secret meeting on legislation, most recently to restrict FOI on the newtown massacre. Presumably to block crime photos of the victims (which as far as I can find out CT State Police would not release anyway, ie a new law to prohibit what was prohibited) while less visibly blocking other facts of the investiatiom. Hard to really tell what though as, well we haven't seen anything yet! The investigation was supposed to release a report June 15 but it has just been delayed to September.
vote the right way when the time comes and get friends to do the same and get everyone you can to contact their reps. and make their voice heard. I moved out of CT 27 years ago and thank God.
"Vote the right way".. I AM SO SICK OF THIS BULLSHIT! The whole voting thing is FUBAR!!! It's RIGGED!! Only candidates that meet certain qualifications GET NOMINATED!
@William, it's okay. You don't have to vote. But you do have to take a Valium.
I thought an assault rifle was a military style rifle that fired a military cartridge. Can someone tell what military uses a standard issue 22lr? A Brown Bess would be more effective.
California is going the same route, but God only knows why. Any magazine fed rimfire semi-auto rifle will, if the proposed law is enacted, be defined as an "assault rifle." Seems the tube fed Marlins are GTG, but 10/22s will be a definite no-no and will have to be registered if you want to keep them. (And of course, future sales will be banned.)
Kind of the opposite of Germany where you can have any military style rifle you want as long is its chamber in 22lr. GSG makes a lot money that way.
Actually, tube fed Marlins are not gtg. Since they have a fixed magazine that holds more than 10 rds, SB 374 would ban them as assault weapons too. Though they could easily be modified to be acceptable.
Note, current CA law exempts tube fed rimfire of any type and tube fed centerfire lever actions from the magazine limits. So a Marlin with 10+ in the tube is okay now.
I've heard Israel likes sniping Palestinians with .22s .
im in ca and confused about registration. i believe our handguns in ca are registered but our long guns in ca are not registered. does anyone know if that is correct? i would be very happy to hear the long guns are safe from confiscation.
Long gun registration for NEWLY PURCHASED long guns begins Jan 1, 2014. HOWEVER, this is a bill making its way through the state gov't that would require registration of ALL long guns owned or possessed, even those PRIOR to the 2014 long gun registration.

Staggering levels of dumb.
what do the department of motor vehicles, the chief state's attorney office, the department of energy and environmental protection need "assault weapons" for?
The Zombie Apocalypse.
They have no greater need than any of us. Probably less of a need. This is simply more government elitism.
Considering how the current regime is using the EPA to attack political opponents and common folk who won't be silenced, perhaps they see a need to step their efforts up a notch at the state level too. Nothing tells a people to fear the government better than the barrel of a gun.
Well it's not like a former cop has ever gone on a shooting rampage and put Southern California on lockdown for a week or anything.
In fairness to CA, there are not former LEO exemptions, either in the current law or proposed. Meaning, retired cops cannot keep, e.g., a regular AR-15.
They did try a retired cop exception in the past for some laws, but courts didn't like it and found it violated equal protection. CA courts can be suprisingly reasonable at times.
Too bad your elected officials are not
Ditto, Jerry.
Kudos for CA for getting something right, but the greater point here is that cops and ex-cops from California or out here in flyover country are just as likely to go berserk and start shooting people as, say your average CCW holder.
Maybe, maybe not.
There was a comparison of violent crime per 100,000 among cops and among regular joes showing roughly the same amount. But factor this in, most violent crime (90% of murders, e.g.) are done by men. 87% of police are men. If they committed crime on the same rate, the total for all police would be higher than the general population. Adjusting just for gender, and you find a notable difference.
CCW holders are another matter, I concede
The article left out that the Newtown families were on hand for the occasion. They were also in Hartford to see the law passed that will limit the release of certain information to the public regarding the Sandy Hook investigation. Since Newtown is only 50 miles from Hartford, a ride on Air Force One wasn't necessary.
I hope every one of those SOB's (Newtown family members pushing unconstitutional laws) dies a painful death at the hands of one of the criminals they're aiding.
It's just a form of bribery. The cops go along with the legislature and governor and they get favors.
It's a shame that cops can be bribed by giving them back their own rights. I remember when you couldn't buy a cop for less than $25 a week.
But Ralph that was in the 60's. Cost at least one hundred buck now.
Yup. Inflation is a b1tch.
Almost double that, tdiinva. $25 in 1960 dollars is equal to $196.39 in 2013 dollars.
I never knew a cop who was worth $169.39 per week.
but but the government of Connecticut IS the people of Connecticut, and that's what they want, special rules for special people.
Another gem from the Connecticut General Assembly:
Thank god there are public servants that know how to define reality to their benefit. Now, if they can just do something with that pesky PI thing… maybe round it to 3. That would make things much simpler. Dare we hope they can possibly suppress Euler's number (e) and those hopelessly complicated and clearly irrational complex numbers? I mean, really, what's the big deal of a square root of a negative number? I'm sure that 51% of the public would go along with it.
That really sucks about the .22s – it was the only semi-good news in the awful law. I know Stag was working on a new cool .22 for CT residents. Gone now I guess.
I was wondering about that latest change in the CT law while reading this article – http://gunmartblog.com/2013/06/04/stag-arms-ready-to-ship-modified-ct-legal-rifles/
From a quick read, it looks like .22s are back on the old 2 feaures test that applied to all scary rifles pre April 2013, so if they pin the stock and use a fixed compensator (instead of a flash suppressor) they should be ok. Hard to say for sure.
What Stag really needs to build is an AR-variant with a short-stroke piston and and an old-school rifle grip that does not protrude below the action. Sort of an AR/SCAR hybrid with no pistol grip. If you use the piston to eliminate the need for a buffer tube, then you can have an old-school grip without it being one of those California monstrosities.
If they want to be stupid and vote those idiots into office, thats on them. Keep that anti-constitution shit out of my state.
Think of it another way; this practically acknowledges that if the civilian (cop) has a modicum of training in handling a weapon then they can own the evil black rifles. Whether us civilians are essentially better trained than most cops is another argument.
Nice vacuum tube amp.
Well… lets all become police officers for a short time so we can continue to carry. Lets become state or federal representatives for a short time so we can have health care for life, and don't forget we need a job at minimum at the county clerk's so we can get a solid pension forever afterward.
Government: We are here to help and to serve.
…and I'm being served???
If vendors would just refuse to sell to these carve-out recipients, then this issue would be solved dam quick. If we can make it so that the "elite" can't buy any firearms or ammo, thier attitudes would change. Lord knows that they wouldn't spend even a second without being protected by a gun….
Hate cops. Got no use for them. Ban their guns, make them go on duty without them.
"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal" and all that stuff. How do these carve outs stand up to constitutional scrutiny?
Because no cop has ever harmed an innocent?
With rates of self medicating, divorce, PTSD, domestic abuse, suicide, etc.. all being substantially higher in the LEO community than in the non-LEO community you'd think the pendulum would swing the other way.
Not that I want that pendulum swinging at all mind you. Just funny logic when people and politicians act on a belief that cops are somehow "better" or "safer." Yes, I meant that line to read politicians are not people.
Yep, these CT asshats clearly had their heads buried in their own self pity when Christopher Dorner was doing his little number out west. Unbelievable.
Not one politician will give me a answer why law enforcement should be exempt from gun and magazine bans given the numerous cases of abuse and criminal activity by police officers. I`m sure these politicians knew about Drew Peterson, Manuel Pardo who robbed and murdered 9 people, the documented abuse of citizens by the Philadelphia police department, the case of Texas state troopers doing cavity searches on two women in public etc. Locally we had two Orlando police officers ordered to pay damages in civil court for body slamming a 80+ year old man and for pushing a woman down the steps. By the way they are still on the force. And these jackasses tell me they can trust the police with "assault" weapons but not civilians?
Don't forget Tyler Peterson, a Sheriff's deputy and part time cop who killed six people with an AR 15 or the NOPD cops who shot 6 innocent people at the Danziger Bridge and then attempted to cover up the crime.
Or Tamiekia Johnson, the CHP officer who murdered her husband with her departmentally issued gun, or Fullerton PD, who beat a homeless man to death, etc.
The dude in the photo is sporting and holding a vertical fore grip. Does anyone here find these actually aid in their gun handling or marksmanship?
I bought one some time back. I admit I had the tacticool bug. As soon as I took my first shot holding on to thing, I thought, "Yup, I'm a sucker."
Anyone like them? If so, I got one to sell cheap!
MHO… They work great with the grip style Chris Costa has made popular…
If you live in Connecticut, you should ask your legislator why they voted to exempt law enforcement officers from the gun ban. They only have three ways to answer that question, a emotional response accusing you of being anti police, ignore the question or be truthful and say that the government can be trusted, you as a private citizen cannot be trusted. That is the message being sent by allowing police exemptions. Connecticut should no longer call itself the Constitution State.The state government has shown itself to have complete contempt toward the Constitution when the courts, the attorney general`s office and the commissioner of prisons decided that it was OK to torture a hunger striking prisoner by force feeding. That is a violation of the Eighth Amendment, but that was ignored by the courts. The state perjured themselves by claiming that if a prisoner was allowed to starve himself to death, riots would break out. (No such event has ever taken place in the United States) Whats next for Connecticut residents, no Fourth Amendment protections? Maybe freedom of speech will be restricted? Who knows, the Pandora`s box has been opened.
I have a suggestion for all freedom loving residents of Connecticut. Tape over the Constitution State slogan on your automobile license plate as a protest against oppression. They cannot prosecute you for that based on a United States Supreme Court ruling where a resident of New Hampshire was prosecuted for covering up the "Live Free Or Die" tag slogan. The court ruled that it was a legitimate First Amendment expression.
It would nice for states to apply this logic to retired and former military. I wouldn't mind being able to have a m249 again or a 240 then again they should be available for all to enjoy, with proper restrictions of course.
All together now: "Some pigs is more equal than other pigs!"

Research projects : Summaries of the final reports - 1st programme 1983-1986, Medicine, health and nutrition in tropical and subtropical areasFunded under: PRE-STD 1
Interest by the European Commission in tropical medicine and tropical agriculture resulted in the development of the first Science and Technology for Development Programme (STD1) covering the period 1983-1986. During that period a total of 421 projects received funding, of which 238 were in tropical agriculture and 183 in tropical medicine. One important objective of STD was to strengthen the research capabilities of developing countries by promoting the transfer of technology, through training of key personnel and creating operational collaboration in relevant projects. The programme thus brought together European research institutes, both separately and jointly, with institutes in developing countries, in forms of partnership most likely to ensure a lasting effect. The medical subprogramme was essentially aimed at: (i) the discovery of new approaches to the prevention and treatment of transmissible diseases; (ii) operational research on health care systems in order to adapt them more effectively to the rural and urban environment of developing countries; (iii) a study of the links between food strategies and the nutritional and health status of the less favoured populations. This report presents a summary of the results obtained.

I gained a total of 34 pounds during my pregnancy and was about 8 pounds heavier than I would have liked before getting pregnant.
◦ Don't start dieting too soon
Like I had mentioned, you need to give yourself time to recover and adjust. Not to mention you need to make sure you have enough energy to care for your baby and are getting enough calories to breastfeed {if you chose to do-so}.
◦ Be realistic about weight loss
A lot of women are just never the same after giving birth...be realistic about the fact that your body may never be exactly the same again.
{I have a REAL hard time with this one}
◦ Embrace exercise
A healthy diet mixed with exercise is crucial for losing weight--not to mention making sure you're losing fat and not muscle {if there's any muscle left under there}.
◦ Lose weight slowly
Most women need about 1,500-2,200 calories a day to stay healthy and more like 2,000-2,700 for those of us who are nursing! So cut calories without dipping below these minimums...and if you find you're running low on energy, up the calories! Also, losing too much weight too fast can mess with your milk supply!
◦ Eat up - and take your time!
Don't skip meals! You need your energy, so try to eat several small meals a day.
◦ Be choosy about food and drinks
This one's sort of a no-brainer...be smart about the foods you're choosing {again, a hard one for me}...a healthy mix of fruits, veggies, whole grains & protein is best!

I had a sweet time with an old friend last night. I think I have blogged about her before. My friend Kelly and I go back to the beginning of high school. She was my swimming buddy, during those awkward, hard to fit in, years.
We met up at a local town center for some coffee (umm, java chip frappaccino for this chocoholic, thank you very much.)
We reflected back on how much we LOVE swimming, and both wished we could get back into it.
We also reflected on how much we HATED morning practices. Who wants to get up at 4:45 before high school to swim? Not I!
I love meeting for coffee with friends. It's not as invasive as eating with friends (when you mouth is full and you are just plain hungry,) and I feel like it's more relaxed!
I'm supposed to have coffee with my college friend, Olyvia (Cascading Thoughts,) today!
Yay for more time reconnecting with friends!

I finally finished the book The Shack by William Young , the book that has remained on the top ten books on Amazon and has taken Christians captive. When I started the book I had a lot more enthusiasm but half way through I stopped reading it. I did not get why this book was being called the new Pilgrims Progress. I saw no parallel. I pushed myself and finished the book and here are a few thoughts. Before getting to the book, I have to say a few things. First, I believe that America lives in fiction. Fiction books are best sellers. Stores are packed with fictional volumes that take most of the space. I have come to believe that most Americans live in this fictional world. Second, I think the Church in America is one that lacks discernment and biblical literacy. The Church has become part of the world and it is no surprise that many Christians live no different that non-Christians. So it is no surprise that a book like The Shack would be so popular among Christians.
Now to the book. The basic plot revolves around Mackenzie Allen Philips' daughter abduction and killing and how Mackenzie deals with what the author calls "The Great Sadness." Mackenzie gets a note that apparently comes from God to meet him in a shack. It is in the Shack that Mackenzie meets God or Papa who anthropomorphically appears as an African American woman, Jesus who is a typical Middle Eastern guy and the Holy Spirit, Sarayu, who is of Asian background. It is during this weekend with the "trinity" that Mack learns that God is not the author of evil but is a loving aunt Jemima who understands his pain. Papa shows Mack that he was present with his daughter Missy during the abduction and killing. She shows him "heaven" where Missy is now enjoying her company. Mack is able to see her but is unable to speak to her, but through God himself, lets him know that she loves him. In the end, Mack is able to forgive the man who killed his daughter and acknowledge God's sovereignty. He finds closure and the Great Sadness disappears. The end has a twist that leaves the reader thinking if it was only a dream but the author shows that it actually happened. Mack is changed forever and becomes a fervent believer sharing God's goodness to everyone he knows.
The book itself is a theodicy, a defense for the goodness of God (in other words God is too good to condemn anyone) and strong critique of many institutions, including the Church. In its fictional characterization of God, it deviates from the "orthodox" view. It has a created a lot of controversy over it. But the bottom line is that this is a work of fiction. There is much that can be disputed biblically, but it begs the question. Why would we want to do this when we know the book is a work of fiction, which reflects the author's view of God? To argue more only gives more credibility to this fictional theodicy. Christians who take it as theology are just proving my point that Christians are biblically illiterate and are virtually indistinguishable from non-Christians.
If you are interested in the discussion around this book, just Google it or read the reviews at Amazon. If you want good fiction dealing with God's character, this may not be the book to start with. Try C.S. Lewis or even John Bunyan. You'll get more bang for your buck.

A riveting, groundbreaking account of how the war on crime has torn apart inner-city communities. Forty years in, the tough-on-crime turn in American politics has spurred a prison boom of historic proportions that disproportionately affects black communities. It has also torn at the lives of those on the outside. As arrest quotas and high-tech surveillance criminalize entire blocks, a climate of fear and suspicion pervades daily life, not only for young men entangled in the legal system but for their family members and working neighbors. Alice Goffman spent six years in one Philadelphia neighborhood, documenting the routine stops, searches, raids, and beatings that young men navigate as they come of age. In the course of her research, she became roommates with Mike and Chuck, two friends trying to make ends meet between low-wage jobs and the drug trade. Like many in the neighborhood, Mike and Chuck were caught up in a cycle of court cases, probation sentences, and low-level warrants, with no clear way out. We observe their girlfriends and mothers enduring raids and interrogations, "clean" residents struggling to go to school and work every day as the cops chase down neighbors in the streets, and others eking out livings by providing clean urine, fake documents, and off-the-books medical care. This fugitive world is the hidden counterpoint to mass incarceration, the grim underside of our nation's social experiment in punishing black men and their families. While recognizing the drug trade's damage, On the Run reveals a justice system gone awry: It is an exemplary work of scholarship highlighting the failures of the war on crime and a compassionate chronicle of the families caught in the midst of it.
"A remarkable feat of reporting.... The level of detail in this book and Goffman's ability to understand her subjects' motivations are astonishing - and riveting." (The New York Times Book Review)

A view from one side of the street......
Alice Goffman undertook a massive project for her academic dissertation in sociology - an ethnographic study documenting the lives of a group of people living in a predominately black, crime ridden neighborhood in Philadelphia. She ended up doing more than documenting - she lived in and around the 'hood for six years, becoming roommates with two of the young men who figure prominently in her book.
Goffman ends up being accepted as part of the scenery in the pseudonymous 6th Street, welcomed by a group of young men and their families to document their lives. And those lives are full of trouble - crime, drugs, poverty, arrests, warrants and any other number of hardships. Goffman immerses herself in part their lives, crossing the impartial observer line in many cases to become a participant.
Her statistics regarding young, poor black men are frightening. This book does serve to underscore what we see almost every day on news feeds. We also get to know the friends and families of this core group. Goffman does also make connections with people in the neigbourhood who are 'clean' and trying to make a good life without the crime, guns etc. These subjects are just as interesting, but receive less focus.
I did find that some stories were repeated in more than one chapter - Goffman seems to be using certain compelling incidents to illustrate numerous points she wants to highlight. I found the appendix of her own journey to and through the book quite fascinating.
On the Run is an accounting from one side of the street. There are some questions as to the veracity of some of the anecdotes and interactions that Goffman describes. Some of her own motives, behaviors and recollections have been called into question. Despite that, On the Run does provide much food for thought - and discussion.
Robin Miles was the narrator. She has a voice that is easy to listen to, clear and well modulated She is able to emphasize and empathize with a change in tenor and tone. She's also able to provide suitable voices when one of the subjects of the book is 'speaking'. I thought she interpreted the book well

Five tips from dads on surviving a difficult birth
There is a great article in the Jan-Feb edition of Prima Baby & Pregnancy magazine, which talks about how a difficult birth can be as traumatic for a dad as it is for a mum. It's easy to forget about dads in the heat of the event because all the physical stuff is happening to mum – it's just how the whole birth thing rolls – but it is equally difficult for dad, just in a different way.
Home births encouraged by NHS
Based on NICE (National Institute for Health And Care Excellence) recommendations, the NHS is reportedly set to embrace a policy change that will encourage new mums without high risk pregnancies to give birth at home. The NHS has, in the past, been weary of the home birth option.
New guidelines by NICE also say that low-risk pregnancies are best suited to a midwife led unit, which is more comfortable, with between four and ten beds and water birth facilities. Units can be attached to hospitals or function as 'stand-alone' centres in the community.
The thing is; most women prefer to give birth in a hospital in case something goes wrong. I am definitely one of these women – three babies later (all low risk pregnancies),
I would still opt to give birth in a hospital…just in case! Continue reading

Brand Design
How strong is your brand?
Brands don't exist without design, but good brand design can only be based on a strong brand. A strong brand not only attracts potential clients, it can also be the driver for company culture, business development and the power to innovate. Is your brand strong enough to be at the core of your company?
To answer this question, we have developed our own method. This method is always adapted to your brand's situation. There is no such thing as a one-trick pony that works for everybody. Whatever the case, we start with a non-committal chat where we listen to your needs, explain our way of working and discuss the situation of your brand.
When the brand strategy is in place, the brand must always surprise and marvel -which may be as difficult as defining the brand itself! Creativity and innovation are at the heart of brands that remain relevant. We like to create and develop new ideas in brand design and make no distinction between online and offline communication. Creativity in design in our starting point.
If you want to know what we can do for your brand, please contact us at +32 3 227 06 53 and ask for Lenny or Jean.
Our services: brand and communication strategy, name creation, logo & housestyle, print and webdesign, POS & packaging design and spatial design.

"Manchester, 1978. In the beginning there were four: Jez Kerr (bass), Martin Moscrop (guitar/trumpet), Peter Terrel (guitar/effects) and Simon Topping (vocals/trumpet). Four thin boys with a name borrowed from a Brian Eno record, the intense, drummerless quartet initially drew influence from Wire, Eno, the Velvets and Kraftwerk, and gained a manager in Anthony Wilson of Factory Records.
"May 1979 saw the release of their first ACR single, the dark All Night Party, although the sound and musicianship of the band would be transformed by the arrival of funky drummer Donald Johnson (DoJo) in August. Over the next few months the band gigged widely, often with Joy Division as part of Factory packages, and recorded demos with producer Martin Hannett as well as a Peel session. Their support slot with Talking Heads on their UK tour in December 1979 set David Byrne on a new course, and provided the compelling live half of their chic cassette package The Graveyard and the Ballroom. Post-punk, ACR now reflected the influence of Funkadelic, George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, The Bar Kays and James Brown."

Rafael Nadal Injury: Updates on Tennis Star's Back and ReturnFebruary 6, 2014
Tennis superstar Rafael Nadal's 2014 season is off to a tough start as a result of a nagging back injury suffered during his 2014 Australian Open final defeat on Jan. 26.
According to The Buenos Aires Herald, the 27-year-old Spaniard has been battling a stomach virus in addition to his back injury and has withdrawn from the upcoming 2014 ATP Copa Claro, an outdoor clay-court ATP World Tour 250 series event scheduled to begin in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Feb. 10.
Nadal explained the circumstances surrounding his decision to withdraw from the tournament, per The Buenos Aires Herald:
"I have still not been able to train on the track due to the back problems I have suffered since Australia and also due to a stomach virus that is currently affecting me."
Nadal apologized for pulling out on his Facebook page and Twitter account:
The 13-time Grand Slam champion is currently ranked No. 1 in the ATP world rankings, but hasn't played since losing to Stanislas Wawrinka in the 2014 Aussie Open final in January.
Nadal and his team are surely hoping he can be back to 100 percent in time for the clay-court season which will arrive in April.


text: Dear List, I'm currently entertaining thoughts of modifying my site: http://www.penprints.com to be more of a "directory" for book artists and the like. I was inquiring as to how many people would be interested in having their own "section" of the site to sell or promote their work. I haven't determined a final price as of yet although it would probably be in the range of $10-$20 a month.

Employee insurance raises questions
A crowd of county employees spilled into the hallway outside the Board of Supervisors meeting room, where officials again took up health insurance matters during their June 15 meeting.
A motion by District 2 Supervisor Cedric Burnett to solicit requests for proposals for health insurance died for lack of a second.
Prior to that motion, Board president James Dunn introduced the topic, saying it was his recommendation to remain with the current plan under Cigna. Burnett agreed.
District 5 Supervisor McKinley Daley said he would like to see the county change to the plan proposed by Nick Floyd and Associates.
"I just don't think you understand everything," Burnett said.
Dunn asked Board attorney Andy Dulaney to address the issue.
Preparing for the Worst
Accident claims local
A Tunica County teenager was killed late Friday night after she was struck by a car while crossing US 61 near the Tunica-DeSoto County line.
According to official reports, the victim, identified as Annie Lipsey, 18, of Tunica, was pronounced dead at the scene following the incident.
Conference digs up interesting topics
A small group of archaeologists and artifact collectors from the surrounding area converged in Tunica recently as the Mid-South Archaeological Society hosted its annual conference at the Tunica Museum.
The half-day conference, which took place on Saturday, June 2, attracted approximately 25 archaeologists from Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas, according to Sam Brookes, a retired archaeologist with the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the host of this year's event.

A master planned business park on the Fremont-Milpitas border is well under construction at the end of Dixon Landing Road, west of Interstate 880.
Called The Crossings @ 880, the project being built by Southern California developer Overton Moore Properties will see three buildings totaling 700,000 square feet either dedicated toward light manufacturing or warehouse space on a 40-acre parcel in Fremont.
At present, the final use of the project — that began construction in February — is not known as it is being built on speculation, meaning no tenant has signed on to the development as yet.
Christina Briggs, City of Fremont's economic development manager, said The Crossings @ 880 is filling a much needed gap within the city's industrial use building inventory.
"The project is an industrial project and it was developed to be a flexible project," Briggs said, noting it adds a Class A industrial property to the city. "Fremont has a lot of industrial property but it's getting to be kind of an older product."
She added this project would bring new economic life to the border shared with Milpitas, Santa Clara County and Silicon Valley especially as Bay Area Rapid Transit heads toward the South Bay, expected to open to riders by 2017.
"It offers a tremendous employment opportunity," Briggs said.
The developer posted a story on the City of Fremont's website in April about the project entitled, "Meeting the Needs of Today's Industrial Tenants — Why I'm Betting on Fremont."
"Our business climate is rapidly changing, and the industrial real estate market is no exception. With an explosive growth in e-commerce, just-in-time delivery expectations, and the resurgence of local manufacturing/assembly operations in Silicon Valley, we see a strong industrial market. But when we survey the Bay Area real estate canvas, we also recognize the glaring void of state-of-the-art and highly efficient space for these types of uses," Timur Tecimer, Overton Moore's chief executive officer, wrote. "Using a poker analogy, we know a royal flush when we see one, and we've decided to play our hand. With a 42-year track record in development, acquisition, master planning, and management of industrial, office and mixed-use projects, Overton Moore Properties recognized opportunity in the form of a 40-acre site in Fremont, Calif. along the I-880 at Dixon Landing Road. Anticipating continuing demand for industrial and manufacturing/distribution space and the long-term strengths of the San Francisco Bay Area industrial market, we are developing The Crossings @ 880."
Tecimer noted his company was making a statement by building the largest speculative industrial project in the Bay Area in the last 15 years — the Gardena, Calif. firm's only project in Northern California.
"But Fremont's central Bay Area location and the tremendous freeway frontage and visibility of the site are unbeatable. The City of Fremont staff has been tremendous to work with, and it's one of the best pro-business cities that we've encountered," Tecimer wrote. "Even better, this project will finally connect Fremont Boulevard to Dixon Landing Road, facilitating a shorter commute from San Jose and the rest of Silicon Valley.
"We are marketing to Silicon Valley users looking for easy access to Highway 237, Class A 'best in class' facilities, corporate users looking to establish a high-identity headquarters location with prominent visibility along the I-880, and distribution users who want immediate access to the I-880 and infill markets within the San Francisco Bay Area.
"And the fact is, there just aren't that many new buildings in the region that accommodate this combination of uses. Manufacturing hubs like Fremont depend on the ability to house not only large manufacturers, but also a wide range of other users that make up the supply chain. So whether it's production, final assembly, or distribution/logistics, it all means a strengthening manufacturing base and the economic development benefits associated with that," Tecimer wrote. "So that's why I'm betting on The Crossings @ 880 and why I'm betting on Fremont."
According to Briggs, The Crossings @ 880 did not go through City of Fremont's formal public review process — either at the planning commission or city council level — as the industrial area it will reside in is already zoned for the permitted use.
"They got their building permits I want to say at the beginning of the year," Briggs said.
She added as far as she knew no tenant has stepped forward to purchase the property.
"There has been a lot of interest though," Briggs said, adding the city was very pleased with how Overton Moore's yet-to-be completed project has proceeded thus far. "They're seeing that their gamble is paying off."

I'll bet you can think of ten items in your home that you need to get rid of right now. Whether it's a gift you never use or something you just haven't gotten around to discarding yet, we're all guilty of holding on to things. Inevitably, those items just become clutter.
Here's a list of 50 items you can use to jump-start the decluttering process in your home.
50 Items To Get Rid Of
- Cracked or stained Tupperware and containers with missing lids
- Extra cups or mugs- how many does one family really need?
- Cooking utensils that you own two or more of
- Expired food items
- Old spices- These lose their potency after a year or two and sometimes become breeding grounds for critters.
- Take-out menus you never use
- Recipe books you never use
- Old receipts
- Expired coupons
- Pens that ran out of ink
- Old calendars
- Old planners
- Out-dated software
- Clothes that no longer fit, are stained, worn, stretched or out of style
- Broken jewelry or earrings that have lost their mates
- Shoes that don't fit, are painful to wear or ones you never put on
- Worn sheets or bedding
- Old pillows
- Unused perfumes
- Old makeup and toiletries
- Dried up nail polish or colours you don't wear
- Expired medications
Sentimental Items
- Gifts you don't use or like
- Baby items that are no longer needed
- Souvenirs
- Cards people have given you with no sentimental value
- Children's art
- Hand-me downs
Kids' Items
- Broken toys and ones your kids don't play with anymore
- Games and puzzles with missing pieces
- Schoolbooks they no longer need
- Video games your kids don't play or ones for a system that doesn't work
- Completed activity books
- Junk mail or old mail
- Old bank statements
- Magazines
- Catalogues
- Books you've already read
- DVDs and CDs
- Old prescription glasses
- Cables you don't need or use
- Old batteries
- Broken electronics or ones that are never used
- Furniture manuals for pieces already assembled
- Frequent shopper rewards cards you never use
- Broken or unused decorations
- Christmas lights that don't work
- Old product boxes
- Freebie or promotional items you don't use
- Home decor that no longer fits your style
A clutter-free house is easier to clean and just looks better but getting rid of items is not easy. Be ruthless when clearing out your home. Set aside any feelings of guilt you may experience because an item has sentimental value or was a gift. The person that gave you the present won't feel any better knowing it sat untouched in a drawer somewhere.
Place items you're really unsure about discarding in a storage bin. If in six months time, you have not used or even thought about them, get rid of them.
Use these items to generate some much-needed cash for your emergency fund or to pay off a loan. You can also donate anything in good condition to friends, family or someone in need.
Now you have a list that you can use to declutter your home. Don't be afraid. You can do this!
What items would you add to my list? Tell me in the comments below.

LAW: At the Bar; The lawyer who helped set the flag debate aflame calmly prepares to move on
By David Margolick
Published: June 22, 1990
In David Cole's office at the Center for Constitutional Rights, the only place Old Glory flies is on a commemorative envelope by the window. It contains a doctored photograph of the nine Justices of the United States Supreme Court wrapped in robes cut from the American flag, and commemorates last year's ruling that flag burning is legally protected speech.
The envelope is the work of Larry Rosing, an artist who is a friend of Mr. Cole's. He is also, in a way, a client: before designing it, Mr. Rosing asked Mr. Cole whether the envelope violated the Flag Protection Act of 1989, enacted by Congress shortly after the decision came down.
His choice of counsel was wise, for no one knows more about the law of flag desecration than Mr. Cole. Twice, most recently last week, he helped persuade the High Court that flag burning was protected by the First Amendment.
Mr. Cole did not actually argue those cases; that honor went to William Kunstler. Yet everyone, Mr. Kunstler included, agrees that as author of the briefs, Mr. Cole is the intellectual architect of the courtroom victories. An opposing lawyer from the office of the Solicitor General, who'd endured hundreds of briefs in his day, told Terence Moran of the trade newspaper Legal Times that Mr. Cole's was the best he'd ever read.
It was a dazzling performance for a 31-year-old lawyer who was almost never a lawyer at all, who flirted with careers as an options trader, jazz critic and essayist. It also provides a glimpse of an intense but gentle man who rarely raises his voice, let alone burns flags.
When it comes to choosing law schools, students favor Yale for the same reason nondrinkers favor screwdrivers: it's the most palatable way to swallow something you really don't want. With a reputation for liberal artsiness, Yale has long attracted not just the best and brightest but also the most ambivalent.
Mr. Cole fits that description. To him, Yale Law School represented three more years of an undergraduate education. He took courses on Keats and Shelley, studied Freud with Harold Bloom, wrote criticism for The Yale Daily News and occasionally studied law. ''I went through several semesters there without reading a case,'' he recalled. He even took a class with Robert H. Bork, with whom he recently debated the flag issue on ''Nightline.''
While the ostensible activists around him were doffing politics and donning business suits, Mr. Cole became more politicized. He studied feminist literature, did an internship at the Center for Constitutional Rights, and in 1985 came there to stay. Five years later, his salary stands at $31,500 - roughly a sixth of what his corporate classmates make.
''Financial security shall not be a problem for you,'' the Chinese fortune on Mr. Cole's office door states, and that seems to be true. Sartorially, he is a minimalist. He favors alligator-less cotton polo shirts, black jeans and scuffed black shoes with holes in their soles, a la Adlai Stevenson. Apparently the psychic satisfaction of the job makes up for the 12-hour days and material privations.
If anything, Mr. Cole has found the other cases he has handled - on immigration, deportation, restrictions of government financing, and libel, to cite a few - more satisfying than the flag litigation, which he considered pretty cut and dried as a matter of law. Most remarkable to him was not that his views prevailed, but that four Justices disagreed.
His brief incorporated not only points of law but also history and current events. It notes that when George Washington took command of the Continental Army in 1776, he ordered that 13 red and white stripes be sewn into a Union Jack. ''The United States flag was born of a desecration,'' the brief states. It also refers to anti-desecration laws in Nazi Germany, recent protests in Eastern Europe where hammers and sickles were excised from the discredited flags of Communism, and Flag Day speeches by Presidents Carter and Reagan.
Ultimately, Mr. Cole rounded up not only the usual liberal suspects but Justices Antonin Scalia and Anthony M. Kennedy. ''You go through law school learning that all of law is politics,'' he said. ''What this case shows is that courts matter, that they place internal constraints even on conservative judges.''
Mr. Cole will soon leave the center and move to the Georgetown University Law Center. There he will teach constitutional law and help run a novel program - one that will grow public interest lawyers in much the way East Germany grew gymnasts: by spotting them early, encouraging them, providing them training and insulating them from noxious outside influences.
He will still handle cases for the center. But Mr. Kunstler dissents anyway. ''It's a loss to the profession, as far as I'm concerned,'' he said. ''I'd feel safer if he were still out there in the firing line.''
