Precut orders are custom manufactured for you at time of ordering. Please allow 2-4 workday's processing time, and at least 2-10 days for delivery after the product has been shipped. You are responsible to make prior arrangement with the carrier if you are not available to receive and sign for the product. Lamin-x is not responsible if the product is verified as delivered with the carrier to the specified address, but you personally did not receive it.
What is your warranty?
We have a Five-Year Warranty on our products. If you want more information please visit our warranty page.
What do I do if I find fogginess, air or water bubbles, surface texture, or scratches after my Lamin-x installation?
Once the film fully cures, most imperfections will disappear completely. After time, small scratches, trapped moisture, and most bubbles will dissipate on their own. However, if you encounter a stubborn bubble, you can poke it with a sewing needle and push out the air or water. The hole will eventually close on its own.
How do I remove the film from my paint?
To remove the film, we recommend warming it with a heat gun, hair dryer, or simply by parking the car in the sunlight on a warm day. While the film is warm, slowly peel the film from the paint surface. Any adhesive that may be left on the paint can be removed with a cleaner that is safe for use on your vehicle's exterior. We recommend using Goo Gone or bug and tar remover.
How to I take care of the film after install?
You can find information on care instructions on our maintenance care page.

Marvel's Kevin Feige on 'Doc Strange,' a Female-Driven Solo Movie and When They'll Announce Those 2016 and 2017 Movies
Late last week we chatted up Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige about all things Thor: The Dark World and Marvel's future plans. We'll be running several pieces from our interview leading up to the release of Thor: The Dark World on November 8, beginning with this one regarding the potential for a Doctor Strange movie, a female-driven solo movie and when Marvel actually intends to announce the movies it has planned for those empty release dates in 2016 and 2017.
Earlier in the year Disney revealed two new release dates for Marvel movies without actually saying which movies they were. Those dates are May 6, 2016 and May 5, 2017, and while many thought Marvel would reveal those Phase Three movies at this past San Diego Comic-Con, it did not.
So then when, exactly, will Marvel be making those announcements? And will one of those movies be Doctor Strange?
"Doc Strange, as I've been saying for years, is a movie I believe we should make -- we're just figuring out how to make it a great movie. It is in active development right now," Feige told us. "Whether that's one of the movies we announce for 2016 or 2017, we have to see. I think it'll be the middle of next year before we announce officially what the post-Ant-Man films will be.
Perhaps saving those reveals for next year's San Diego Comic-Con? "Maybe... stuff might happen before that. It's too early to tell."
What may or may not be part of that 2016/2017 plan is Marvel's first female stand-alone superhero movie. It certainly feels like Marvel is building towards one, especially since the female heroes in their movies now are being given a lot more to do. But when will they take that chance? When will they break out one of their many fantastic female superheroes and give her a solo movie?
We asked Feige straight up whether Marvel will deliver fans a solo female superhero movie before DC. "Good question. I don't know what they're doing or what they're planning,' Feige said. "I know we have numerous exciting female heroes, whether none of them are currently slated, some of them are in development -- frankly, you can look at what Jane Foster does in [Thor: The Dark World], look at Pepper Potts literally saving the day and defeating the bad guy in Iron Man 3, and I'd say we already have great female heroes that are showcased and play major roles in our universe now. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, as you will see, features Black Widow in her biggest role yet in any of our films. In terms of a solo stand-alone female hero, I'm not sure when that will be. We make two movies a year, we've planned through 2015 and we have some ideas of what we're doing in 2016 and 2017, so we'll see what happens."
We'll have lots more with Feige in the coming days right here, as well as over on our sister site, Fandango. Thor: The Dark World hits theaters on November 8, and you can buy your tickets for it right now over at Fandango.

Oh you have?
In fact, it's your favorite passtime? And any chance you get you grab your reddest lipstick and your tallest heels and lounge glamorously like nobody's business?
Not that it really matters.
So. You wanna know what husband and I did last night? Three words:
High school yearbooks. And ohmygoodness was that some entertainment. See, husband used to be quite the lady killer. And I'm not proud to say that as we went through the books, I basically judged every single one of his old lady friends on a scale from 1-10 secretly in my head. None of them fared very well. But that might have something to do with the fact that they were 16. And had braces.
Anyway, the main point is ... my favorite part of husband's yearbook was the picture of his ever so popular self in the high school superlative of Best Dressed. Wanna See?
I, on the other hand, was not Best Dressed. Not even nominated friends.
I'm afraid I wasn't cool enough. But guess who Mister super-cool Best Dressed himself married?
That's right kids.
Funny how things work out.

Jon Riemitis necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 32 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
Crown Colony Construction
Crowny Colony Construction is a new company locaated in Central Connecticut. The name Crown Colony is meant to relate to heritage and history which included some very defining architecture and design in New England of colonial times. The principles of this firm have many decades of construction/design experience. The primary focus will be home updating projects which include window replacement, siding, roofing, additions, decks/patios, and interior rennovations as well as new construction homes. We hope to differentiate ourselves from most of our competition in the aspect of design and detail, as well as providing a wealth of information and options to our clients. That is to say, for example, that replacing windows is much more than what most remodelers will offer. We conversely, will provide a variety of approaches and products giving the pros and cons of each. In this business that approach is unique as well as having capable designers on staff.
Our target market is upper market who are willing to pay a bit more for quality with attention to form and function. Additionally, our market consisists of professionals who are busy and want their home improvement project to handled seamlessly. Also, this market is design oriented, that is to say, that they are looking for unique custom solutions that are also functional. It may be said that this segment could be a bit demanding, however, our team has great experience in satisfying this audience.
The logo for Crown Colony Construction needs to convey the image of high end craftmanship and architectural design. Therefore a serious rich look perhaps with bold colors such as burgundy, hunter green and navy blue may by used. Keep in mind that a crown image is NOT required, perhaps discouraged. We want to see some creative designs without a crown. The point is that our logo will convey the image of competence, experience and superior project management. The logo could be modern looking OR historical in flavor to relate to historical New England, we will consider both.

IncGamers: "We need innovation and new ideas. There are enough games where we shot at people already," says Cage.
True: there are enough shooting games.
There is ONLY shooting games and they all look the same and play the same and even with same type of controls ! Video Games is not what it was.
David Cage keeps forgetting one important thing related to video games, that people want to be entertained. If he thinks gamers care more about the finer details like brushing your teeth in front of a mirror then by all means go ahead.
There seems to now be this conflict and arrogance in gaming that we see with movies. People still love going to the cinema and having balls to the wall action for 90 minutes. They don't have to be Oscar worthy screenplays all the time. Cage is trying to make gaming an art form with emotion but the technogy is still limited. Shooting games are an escape and adults love them too. Call of Duty on the PC has tons of adults and clans. If Cage really wants to go after a more mature and older crowd why is his team not making PC games?
Cage thinks he's more talented and innovative than he actually is. Heavy Rain suffered from poor acting and bad writing. If it were a Hollywood movie adult critics would have ripped it to shreds.
i think that brushing teeth in front of a mirror in a video game like Heavy Rain is for me more exciting than killing everything that is moving. It's a point of view thing !
Heavy Rain is much more genious than any FPS out there.
WRONG. The idea that you would easily put words into his mouth is pretty much why your statement doesn't hold value.
Cage doesn't need or want games to be in art form - it already is! He's simply pointing out that devs are not truly recognizing the potential games can bring because they keep resorting to mindless thrills and adrenaline.
How you managed to get from brushing teeth, to oscar and then criticise his writing when it has NOTHING to do with this article or statement is mindboggling. Your attitude is exactly why Assassin's Creed and COD are recurring year-by-year basis; no longer games want to have their own identity. Just go ahead and take a look what they did with Dead Space and Resident Evil because - like you, want to keep them "entertained".

blah blah blah.....the list goes on. just becuase all you choose to see is the long list fo shooting games doesnt mean that is all there is. i dont care much for shooters and there is a loooooooong list of games ive played still
Wait... You actually think that list of games has adult themes???LMAO.. What adult theme is in LBP?
Rayman origins has adult themes?
Dude I think you fail to understand whats being discussed.
I've played a lot of those as an adult but there is nothing adult themed about 90% of them.
I've played Lego and Mario too, but I wouldnt try to pretend that either has adult themes just because I choose to play them.
not all of them are adult themes, but all of them can be enjoyed by an adult and most of them should not be played by kids, all the mature titles are m17+ for a reason
@ Freakazoid2012
"I've played a lot of those as an adult but there is nothing adult themed about 90% of them."
I disagree. From that list given, I would say 90% DO have an adult theme about them. Actually I only count 2 of those games in which DON'T have an adult theme about them...However they are both questionable ie.
LBP has had some questionable content created by users.
Minecraft is user generated where you can create your own world which....can be heavily adult themed...
most of those games are not "adult". Yes, they can be enjoyed by adults, but so can pixar movies. other than blood and nudity, what's "mature" about God of War, for example?
That's not the kind of adult theme being spoken about here. What's meant here, I believe, is an emotional connection with the narrative and/or subject matter and/or character.
Something where the main description doesn't include "exciting" "awesome" "visceral" "violent" "sexy"
Because American media sucks ass. When EA was gonna out the name terrorists in medal of honr every one went oh no yet we can hand guns and say shoot kids? Get real people 90% of the games are not for adults, that doesn't mean adults can't enjoy them but you hav to see what David cage s trying to get across
When the game I forgot what was the 4 days in faluijah was announced and had ll the backlash why could we accept the face everything isn't as it seems. You think someone just wakes One day and says to himself I am gonna blow myself and kill innocent people? What drives that person to that extreme level? American soldiers are killing innocent people over seas it's ok but when some one seeks revenge they are labeled as terrorist.
I hope some day a big publisher actually make a game where touchy subjects are brought up we as Americans can not close our eyes and think everything s perfect.
Ask ur self this are you ready for a game about 9/11 or actual events in Afghanistan or Iraq? A American life isn't more important than a kids life in Iraq because a parents pain is the same when an American parent loose their kid in Warner when a innocent kid GTA killed for playing soccer on the street
I don't think changing the name of the enemy would've made MoH any more (or less) mature. It was mostly over the multiplayer too.
Yea, it was a silly thing that the media jumped on, but it also wasn't something that had any real affect on the game... and MoH wasn't really all that mature anyways.
The reason the recent wars are considered taboo is because they are still in progress. Doesn't prevent developers from still developing mature storylines that explore themes about war though, just look at SpecOps:TheLine.
... even movies don't delve too deep into the current conflicts. So it's not really an issue specific to games.
I'm an adult, I feel like there are a lot of games for adults. Sure, there are a lot of shooters, but there are a lot of other options as well.
Why is this guy making so much noise lately?
Just because you are an adult when it comes to age doesn't it mean you also are an adult when it comes to your brain.
Rated M does not mean for adults. In most cases those games appeal to the 15-20 year old crowd and mostly because they feel its what adults do.
There really are no games for real adults. Games with real adult themes.
How would God of Wars sex QTE events appeal to an adult who can get real sex any time they like?
All the swearing in GTA isnt for adults. Most never talk that way. It appeals to young adults because they do not have the freedom to speak any way they like and they think its the "adult" thing to do.
Why would drinking in a game appeal to me when I can go by whatever I want to drink any time I want to? Again its only for kids who cant but want to.
"How would God of Wars sex QTE events appeal to an adult who can get real sex any time they like? "
Like 15-18 year old kids cant do that.. also, ANYTIME (Litterly ANYTIME) they like? I already feel sorry for your wife if you get/got one lol
What exacly DO you consider as a game for adults?
Games with more complex scenario than just run through the level and hold the R1 button down to kill everyone, something more artistic i will say.
For my case Heavy Rain is the best example of an adult game. Parents are for example more touched by that game than any other teen out there.
He obviously means MATURE (not "rated M") games AIMED at adults.
edit: oh please, you're just doing your 360 troll duties and attacking playstation posterboys. I'm not new to N4G, buddy, I've seen your work.
I know what he is talking about, and I still disagree. He is quickly becoming annoying, maybe as annoying as Jaffe was at one point and time. As I said, I'm an adult and I've found many games that are geared towards adults, that isn't to say teens wouldn't enjoy them as well.
The guy is trying to pigeonhole every type of gamer. To say flatly that "There are no games for adults" is just wrong.
It's good someone is making noise because it's acceptable to kill people in 1000's of ways but to put some adult content creates a lot of buzz. Quite cynical I might add. Anyways, the Japanese make nice adult oriented content games. Take Rapelay as an example, although the theme is controversial, it had nice graphics and interaction. Its mechanics could be used for a more acceptable theme. Cheers
There's clearly L.A. Noire, BF3 if you compare it to COD but i admit it's hard to think about anything else.
How is BF3 'more mature' than COD? LOL, these BF3 vs COD semantics get more ridiculous every day.
And LA Noire *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* ends with a flamethrower. Yeah, whatta mature game. /s All that build up and they end it like THAT.
LA Noire is definitely a maturely themed game for adults.
@SilentNegotiator - You could ridicule any game by taking details out of their context. It's like saying MGS5 isn't mature because it has a grown man in g-string sneaking around in a box and looking in nudie mags. But that wouldn't be a fair assessment of the game, as isn't your comment about LA Noire.
And you, if anyone, shouldn't bash anyone else for being a fanboy.
"Not so! not so!" kettle said to the pot;
"'Tis your own dirty image you see;
For I am so clean – without blemish or blot –
That your blackness is mirrored in me."
Look at my comments. Really look at them. Most of them have to do with the industry. You know why? Because unlike fanboys like you, I care about the industry, and not just if one company does well or one company doesn't.
I have a problem with the way Microsoft conducts business and the way they have changed in recent years, and you don't like that. That doesn't make me a fanboy, One-bubble.
M rated doesn't mean it's for adult.
E rated doens't mean it's for children.
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons ages 17 and older. Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language.
Titles rated E (Everyone) have content that may be suitable for ages 6 and older. Titles in this category may contain minimal cartoon, fantasy or mild violence and/or infrequent use of mild language.
Strangely the game with the most mature themes is probably the Metal Gear Solid series imo. It at least attempts to deal with politics in that it argues that we're all under a plutocracy, nature vs nurture, loss, sacrifice, etc.
It definitely predicted growing drone usage and commercial military organizations well before it became common place.
I agree with him, but I am not sure there is a market for those types of games..
I play games to escape the adult world and its issues.
Imagine a game where you need to earn 100k to send your kids to college.
Imagine playing quick time events to fix the dishwasher when it broke, or the water pipes busted and you have to either fix it yourself through QTE or go to work for 8 hours to pay someone else.
It just doesnt sound interesting at all to me.
As an adult I face the adult world every day. Why would I want to escape into a game that deals with the same issues?
I'd rather play an RPG where the quest is to save someone rather than the quest be "hey we are out of eggs,run down to the local walmart and get some."
Umm that is not what david cage meant. What he meant was which is true a lot of games still play it safe and dont want to go deeper. There is very few adult games; however, those are in the adventure genre i.e. the walking dead, gemini rue,heavy rain. To some extent bioshock.
I appreciated Heavy rain for it's original take on gameplay but as far as story goes David Cage's work is not for adults. It's incredibly adolescent and cliche ridden. Beyond looks to be about the same. His writing is far closer to something like Twilight than something like 1984, being po faced and self consciously 'grown up' but in actuality having all the depth of a made for TV erotic thriller.
True games for adults are games like Braid, Papo & Yo, Journey or Telltale's Walking dead game.
I'm not trying to insult Cage, I'll be buying Beyond and I think his stuff is easily a step up from the usual macho nonsense but I wish he'd realise how cheesy and adolescent a lot of his writing is and really develop as an artist because at this moment his work has all the forced and false maturity of a thirteen year old trying to grow his first weak bumfluff moustache.
"What you see at the moment is that when people get older they stop playing games."
Someone remind me what the average age of gamers is?
.. and from what I've seen, usually, older people play simpler/casual games, simply because they don't have the time. TV/Internet/Movies are all relatively short in length compared to games.
Well Mr. Cage, if there are none then make some! You sir are part of the problem with the whole graphics sterotype. I would much have a fun game to play than a linear story game. EDF2017 had polished last gen graphics, but guess what? Extremely fun to play. How much does it cost your company to make your graphic games? How much did it cost for indie companies Braid and Fez and Minecraft? Guess what, they all sold more than you did with a MUCH smaller budget. Quit your yappin and make games that sell.
the number of copies a game sells is not a way of judging a game's quality. the best movies are not the ones that sell the most, same with games.
Also, there's nothing way with linear games - it's the best (possibly only) way for a writing to have true authorship over the narrative.
Just because games can do non-linear stories, doesn't mean they all should.
There should be a choice. Linear games are just as good as non-linear ones.
Isn't the case for all games but true for a lot of games. A game has to be fun. Who wants to play a reality game? You are already playing reality in real life. A game has to be fun, hence why it is gaming...
He must have never played any of the Yakuza games.
Agreed. Adult doesn't meann half-assed sex scenes that are more childish than two teens kissing in the bathroom or buckets of blood spewing from severed mutilated bodies either.
Man, it's sad to see "mature" go over the heads of so many. Kinda shows you who's mature and who isn't.
Its true most games are aimed at teens and kids but not old timers like me. I still enjoy some not all non-adult games like LBP, cave story and such. But a true adult game with adult themes, language, gameplay mechanics and such is near impossible to find. Anime on the other hand is very easy to find adult oriented content. Now games like the walking dead, heavy rain, gemini rue and bioshock. Is less about blood, gore, and sex and more about the lifes' of the characters, their struggles, the game world, life and death, etc. etc. Its time for game developers to play it safe by bringing mor adult oriented content
Well I guess this also means Heavy Rain isn't a "mature" game for adults either, oh wait isn't that David Cage's game. Maybe this guy should stop running his mouth so much and just make decent games. Anyone can talk this nonsense, why don't he go and make a great game to show his point. The Witcher 2 is an amazing "mature" title that respects it's audience and treats us all like adults.
It's not the games...
It's the people who are a problem.
Most Adult's aren't as smart as they think they are.
Other wise they wouldn't be calling games over complex..like you hear every now and then.
There are plenty of games for an older audience.
I feel they want a boring game = to going to work.
Where the hell is the fun in that ?
Go take a nap and watch idol or something.
This guy is starting to get on my nerves. When your focus shifts purely towards exploring more mature and more humanitarian themes it's no longer called a game. There is a defined line between video games and film and blurring that line evidently isn't working for you. Sorry Cage but as long as your experiences revolve around QTEs 90% of the time I think I'm gonna have to pass. You wanna make a breakthrough? Find a way around QTEs or eliminate it all together.
Well normally I hate QTEs in games, but for adventure games like Heavy Rain and the Walking Dead they feel right. I think if the likes of Monkey Island and Westwood's Blade Runner game where being made for the first time today they'd use a similar interface.
My problem with Cage's games are the terrible plot twist's. I wish he'd hire a script writer, I have a feeling a third party could convey his stories better and more cohesively.
Am fine with not being an adult while i play video games, cause it my escape from being an adult & having a good time.
yes thier are a few adult games out there , but i perfer non adult themed games or games that don't require me to do alot of thinking. (JMFO)
i think people really dont know what Cage means. But you cant tell narrow mind fools that. He not being arrogant in any way hes saying theres not enough mature games aimed at the adult audience that engrosses into a entertaining story where you can actually appreciate the game and have fun enjoying it not for shooter people who leak immaturity around their little friends. Its more than that but Cage isnt being stuck up and ppl increase your comprehension. oh disagrees dont get in denial from truth.

KStyle necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 42 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
I´m a 38 years old lady with an extraordinary appriciation for styling and fashion. My own style is ladylike, classy and sexy, but not nasty. Often lots of my girl-friends are asking me for advise to their style and I love to support and advise them. So my idea of being a personalshopping-lady was born. As a personalshopper I would like to advise ladies between aprox. 30 and 45. I will accompany them in buying new clothes and support them in finding their own style. Furthermore I will browse their armoires together with them, looking for new combinations of their clothes. My advise will be on a high level.
In Zurich and in Switzerland personalshopping it´s not a common market. I found a few ladies in Zurich who are also doing personalshopping, but not very professionell. As a talked to some ladies in my age the requirement of advise for styling and fashion on a high level is given.
I´m looking for a logo representing my personalshopping-idea: KStyle.
I would love to have a logo incorporate my slogan
Personalshopping mit Klasse & Stil
Addionally there are a few things to think about:
1. The logo should be classy and elegant.
2. Colours: Only red and black (aception: maybe a shadow in gray)
3. The logo could include for example:
- a dress in the style of the decade 30th, 40th, 50th (elegant and ladylike)
- a handback (elegant and ladylike)
- a lady´s shoe (elegant and ladylike)
Attention: But only one of the mentioned things, not all together.
4. No Cartoons

Print file format - .ai or cdr (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Is there a way to tell NetBeans to look on the RPi for the libraries? I am trying to check out the bglib samples, which refer to both the bglib and gnu.io
I have an SMB share setup on the RPi, is it simply a matter of changing the NetBeans platform config settings? Or do the library .jar files need to get copied to the Mac from the RPi? That seems lame, since the versions could easily get out of date. Also, the gnu.io stuff has installed .so files, what do I do with them?

TORONTO — Luminato, the festival of arts, culture and ideas that just concluded in Canada's largest city, has only been held for four years. But this citywide extravaganza already attracts a collective audience in excess of 1 million and spends millions of dollars on the commissioning of expansive international creations like Tim Supple's "1001 Nights," a show that used 24 actors from across the Middle East and that was supposed to then come to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater before visa issues killed, or at least postponed, the booking.
But for all the lofty artistic aims spoken at Luminato, which claims to be the largest multi-arts festival in North America, one message here rings the loudest and the clearest: This festival was created to promote its home city and build its cultural prestige around the globe. Or, as the manifesto of the co-founders puts it: "to shine Toronto's light on the world and the world's light on Toronto." You can't say it much clearer than that.
Surely, there are several lessons here for Chicago, a city that desperately wants to improve its international reputation and currently minimal share of foreign tourists. According to figures from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Chicago's share of international visitors to the U.S. actually shrank between 2009 and 2010: from 4.7percent to 4.5 percent, a share already below that of much smaller cities like Boston. In 2010, Toronto attracted roughly 2 1/2 times as many international visitors as Chicago.
Aside from the speedier processing of visas for international artists in Canada, there's another way you know you are no longer in the United States: Luminato makes only about 10 percent of its $13 million annual budget at the box office. In fact, most of its biggest events, like this year's outdoor k.d. lang concert, are free. More than half of its funding comes from the various levels of government: city, provincial and federal, with Ontario carrying the lion's share. Remarkably, the province has given Luminato a separate $15 million grant, to be used specifically for the funding of new works. It has commissioned, or co-commissioned, more than 40 in five years, coming up with premieres from the likes of Philip Glass, Robert Wilson, Leonard Cohen, Atom Egoyan andRobert Lepage.
Janice Price, the executive director, claims Luminato pays off handsomely, and in multiples, for all its stakeholders. Citing figures calculated using government formulas, Price says last year's Luminato spawned more than $132 million in visitor expenditures, with most visitors saying Luminato was the main reason they were in Toronto. And those are Canadian dollars that, thanks mostly to the way Canadian banks avoided excessive exposure to toxic mortgage-backed securities, are currently worth slightly more than U.S. greenbacks. And then there is the matter of a changed perception.
"We needed to improve our brand on the world stage," said Price, in an interview in her office. "People still thought of Toronto as a bunch of white guys wearing parkas. But 50 percent of the population of Toronto was not born here."
Luminato was born from a big idea forged by two businessmen: David Pecaut and his friend Tony Gagliano. (Pecaut, a Toronto-loving American and a partner at the Boston Consulting Group, died of cancer in 2009.) Right from the start, the pair, regarded around town as masters of influence in corporate and governmental circles, had little time for incremental growth. In big cities like Toronto or Chicago, they argued in their early proposals, no one pays attention to small events. It was, in Chicago-style language, a case of making no small plans and raising no small amount of money.
At the start of their planning, Toronto was more than ready for a stimulus of the cultural sort. The city was reeling from the 2003 SARS viral infection crisis that crippled its international tourism. In the years that have followed, passport requirements and the decline in the U.S. dollar contributed to a massive falloff in visitors from the United States. In an interview, John Karastamatis, a spokesman for the powerful Mirvish organization, which presents Broadway and West End shows in Toronto, said the U.S.-based audience for big shows in Toronto has dropped precipitously from as high as 50 percent during the summers of the early 1990s to, currently, less than 2 percent. The Mirvishes, who control many of the downtown venues here, have thus had to reinvent their entertainment operations as a domestic Canadian entity. (According to research commissioned by Broadway in Chicago, Chicago has received some of the benefits of cultural tourists from, say, Michigan, who would, in the 1990s, have been much more likely to go to Toronto.)
But Luminato has set its sights on the international market, where Chicago's draw was and is weak.
Pecaut and Gagliano decided that Luminato had to be composed of two main elements: prestigious, large-scale international works that would attract far-flung visitors and global media attention and that would allow Toronto to both partner and compete with such existing festivals as the ones in Edinburgh, Scotland; Sydney; and Avignon, France (all of which enjoy ample public support).
And then there had to be something different for the locals, something more at the street level to generate ownership and excitement. In general, that has meant free pop and rock concerts and generous commissions to local arts groups to create new work that would become part of the festival and make it appealing, for example, to the trendy young urbanites who live in Toronto's many downtown lofts. As a result, studies show that significantly more than half the attendees at Luminato are younger than 34. And cultural professions are happy. "We give our local artists the chance to dream a bit," said Chris Lorway, Luminato's artistic director, in an interview during this year's festival.
Pecaut and Gagliano further determined that Luminato must focus on what they called "unique events," thus refusing to cobble together a festival from ordinary existing programming (collectively marketing previously scheduled events is a common way to attempt a festival on the cheap).
Over the years, "unique events" has translated into the premiere of an opera by singer Rufus Wainright or an oratorio by Monty Python's Eric Idle. Unlike most U.S. festivals, which tend to be highly segmented, Luminato has promoted a judicious and highly eclectic mix of pop culture and the so-called high arts. It also has found a prominent place for books and ideas. This year's festival had magic and fashion events. A partnership with The New Yorker magazine this year produced a variety of programming, including talks on current events and phenomena by the likes of Malcolm Gladwell, David Remnick and the Chicago-based writer Ted Fishman, who, spotted on the plane from Chicago to Toronto, said he was going to Canada to get the chance to talk about China.
Commissioning is a key to the Luminato formula. In the case of "1001 Nights," for example, Supple was struggling to get funding for the research-and-development portion of his project — which involved finding actors from throughout the Middle East who could collaborate on a kind of reclaiming of "1001 Nights," creating an Arab version of an Arab story.
"I was really struck that no one was doing work from that region," Lorway said. "I thought the R & D was the most interesting piece of what Tim was doing."
So Lorway and Price came up with more than $1 million in funding, and Luminato had the premiere — and a royalty interest — in a show that Edinburgh will present this summer.
Much of what Luminato does in Toronto already exists in pieces in Chicago: International theater programming comes to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater (which, in the newly announced plans for Navy Pier, is likely to get an additional large venue) and the Goodman Theatre; the Chicago Humanities Festival offers programming based on ideas; the Tribune-owned Lit Fest features authors and their books; Just for Laughs, a Canadian import, focuses on comedy. But none of these has the power alone to fill a huge city's hotel rooms or draw international media.
It would be wrong to characterize Luminato as wholly secure or universally supported. In a recent article, The Globe and Mail questioned whether the festival could sustain its level of support in the face of governmental change and a new emphasis, at all levels of government, on austerity. And internal change is also in the works: Lorway, the man who commissioned Supple's "1001 Nights," an earthy, sexual and exceedingly long show that did not attract capacity houses nor retain all of those who did show up, is leaving his post this summer. Still, even though some of its commissions struggle, Luminato explodes all over Toronto for 10 days in June.
The closest Chicago has come to Luminato was perhaps the International Theater Festival, which existed from 1986 to 1994 (festivals were only held every two years) and the eventual demise of which is often held up as evidence of the difficulty of creating international cultural festivals in a city with so many arts nonprofits competing for resources.
But Jane Nicholl Sahlins, who ran that festival, argues that the time is now right to explore the idea again. "When we started, people internationally would say, 'Chicago? Where's Chicago?'" Sahlins said. "Now they would not say that. And at that time, we were not a priority within the city. And the city has to be behind this kind of thing."
Of course, it takes money to run a festival like Luminato, as Sahlins well knows. You have to find the right time of year. You have to create work as well as just present it. There has to be buy-in from turf-aware local institutions, with which Sahlins says she often found herself competing for scarce funding.
But while there is international work at Luminato, it is not an international festival but a celebration of an international city. A city whose hotel rooms it fills for a good chunk of June. That, perhaps, is a crucial distinction. Luminato doesn't just bring in work from outside; it also creates work from within and then shouts about it globally. Furthermore, as Price noted, festivals are a different beast. They help people follow the arts. "You can't just hit them with a wall of stuff," she said. "You have to provide context."
Intriguingly, Price argued that free events are actually far more attractive to corporate sponsors like L'Oreal, one of Luminato's biggest supporters.
"If you are in a big, beautiful park getting an artist the caliber of k.d. lang for free," Price said, "you appreciate the sponsor. And you don't mind if you see a couple of banners."
Perhaps in Chicago, you do not entirely have to start from scratch.
"I have often wondered why somebody doesn't combine something with the Humanities Festival," Sahlins said. Through a spokesman, those who run the Humanities Festival said they would be "fine with that."
Perchance in such a marriage, or a similar union, lies Chicago's Luminato.
Maybe. It takes an upfront investment and a big communal buy-in. And if you follow the Luminato model, you don't ever try to build anything up slowly.

News from the world of Maths
It's Stephen Hawking's 70th birthday this week and the University of Cambridge is celebrating with a conference in his honour. If it's going to be as exciting as his 60th birthday, and it definitely looks like it will, then we're in for a treat! We'll be giving you articles and podcasts from the conference soon, but in the meantime, here's what we did for his 60th.
Human reasoning is biased and illogical. At least that's what a huge body of psychological research seems to show. But now a psychological scientist from the University of Toulouse in France has come up with a new theory: that logical and probabilistic thinking is an intuitive part of decision making, only its conclusions often lose out to heuristic considerations.
This is it! Merry Christmas to all you beautiful Plus readers and listeners from the Plus team! We hope you'll have a marvellously happy 2012! And since Christmas is all about getting together with the folks, here's some family maths. You might not be able to choose them, but at least you can analyse them!
Christmas is a time of mysteries so we thought we'll give you the chance to put your favourite mystery to the experts. Pick a question in the poll on the right — after Christmas we'll answer the most popular question in articles and podcasts based on interviews with physicists and mathematicians who really know about these things.
Oh! Look! The Higgs! If only we'd known it has been hiding behind this door all along.
Apart from the Olympic Games and Alan Turing's centenary, 2012 will see another important event: the 15th birthday of Plus! To get into party mood, here are the 5 most popular Plus articles since current records began. A big thank you to the wonderful and generous people who have contributed these and all other Plus articles!
It's dark and grey this time of year, that's why we cheer ourselves up with lovely sparkly tinsel and colourful baubles. But if that isn't enough for you, here's another chance to bask in some glorious colour.

Oprah is asking a pretty penny for her finale.
Entertainment Weekly reports the talk show stalwart's show is requesting $1 million for a 30-second spot, a price rarely seen on even prime-time finales.
To put it in perspective, a 30-second spot during this year's Super Bowl will set you back $3 million, the Super Bowl Commercials website claims. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Academy Awards asked slightly less, in the neighborhood of $1.7 to $1.8 million.
U.S. & World
Buyers lament there's no guarantee that an audience will watch, though it seems unlikely, with big-name guests like the Obamas slated to appear in upcoming episodes.
And ad buyers are used to shelling out that kind of cash. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, advertisers paid a reported $2 million for the series finale of "Friends."

Royals agree to terms with outfielder Justin Maxwell
KANSAS CITY, MO (January 21, 2014) - The Kansas City Royals announced today that the club has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with outfielder Justin Maxwell for the 2014 season, avoiding arbitration. Consistent with club policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
Maxwell, 30, came to the Royals on July 31 last season in a non-waiver deadline deal with the Houston Astros. In 35 games with Kansas City, Maxwell hit .268 with five homers and 17 RBI, including a .313 average (15-for-48) and a .646 slugging percentage at Kauffman Stadium. In KC's home finale, Maxwell delivered a walk-off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th to beat the Texas Rangers, 4-0, on September 22.
The signing of Maxwell leaves the Royals with two unsigned arbitration-eligible players: right-handed pitchers Aaron Crow and Greg Holland.

3. Be Informed
Understand Quarantine and Isolation
People can be infected with dangerous diseases in a number of ways. Some germs, like those causing malaria, are passed to humans by animals. Other germs, like those that cause botulism, are carried to people by contaminated food or water. Still others, like the ones causing measles, are passed directly from person to person. These diseases are called "contagious".
Contagious diseases that pose a health risk to people have always existed. While the spread of many of these diseases has been controlled through vaccination and other public health efforts, avian influenza ("bird flu") and terrorist acts worldwide have raised concerns about the possibility of a disease risk. That makes it important for people to understand what can and would be done to protect the public from the spread of dangerous contagious diseases.
The CDC applies the term "quarantine" to more than just people. It also refers to any situation in which a building, conveyance, cargo, or animal might be thought to have been exposed to a dangerous contagious disease agent and is closed off or kept apart from others to prevent disease spread.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the U.S. government agency responsible for identifying, tracking, and controlling the spread of disease. With the help of the CDC, state and local health departments have created emergency preparedness and response plans. In addition to early detection, rapid diagnosis, and treatment with antibiotics or antivirals, these plans use two main traditional strategies—quarantine and isolation—to contain the spread of illness. These are common health care practices to control the spread of a contagious disease by limiting people's exposure to it.
The difference between quarantine and isolation can be summed up like this:
- Isolation applies to persons who are known to be ill with a contagious disease.
- Quarantine applies to those who have been exposed to a contagious disease but who may or may not become ill.
Infectious disease: a disease caused by a microorganism and therefore potentially infinitely transferable to new individuals. May or may not be communicable. Example of non communicable is disease caused by toxins from food poisoning or infection caused by toxins in the environment, such as tetanus.
Communicable disease: an infectious disease that is contagious and which can be transmitted from one source to another by infectious bacteria or viral organisms.
Contagious disease: a very communicable disease capable of spreading rapidly from one person to another by contact or close proximity.

Dr. Naveen Gautam, Hella India Automotive Pvt. Ltd.
Automotive development has always been a challenging task due to the wide range of technologies and safety requirements. However, the challenge has grown multifold due to new trends in the automotive world: Large numbers of required launches in short timeframes demand significant a reduction in development cycle; the increasing dependence on electronics for comfort and safety is posing a need for complex but reliable systems; and interfacing demand with consumer electronics requires flexibility with easy upgradability.
In a complex development environment where preserving know-how was already a tough challenge due to high skill requirements, an unstable work force and increasingly stringent needs made it out of scope for conventional methods. The concepts of architectural scalability and building complex systems with reusable blocks via appropriate modularity are becoming prerequisite for successful deployment. In this presentation, we discuss the possible solutions using efficient modeling and simulation techniques to support lean product development.

Facilities in which AVS faculty, staff, and students work, learn, and serve, are found in several locations. Most prominent is the Poole Agriculture Center, often referred to fondly as the "P & A" (for Plant and Animal Sciences), in which AVS occupies approximately one-half of the main floor. Faculty and staff offices line the outer walls of two sides of the square building, with grad student offices, undergrad study room, conference rooms, and research laboratories occupying the interior blocks. The building is somewhat historic in nature, having been built prior to the 1954 admission of women students to Clemson University.
There are nine research laboratories in Poole Agricultural Center. Three are core labs, fully supported by Public Service and Agriculture and mandated to serve as multi-user labs; these are the Histology, Molecular Biology, and Analytical Labs. A fourth, the Endocrine Lab, functions as a core facility as well, serving users across campus and from outside Clemson. Other labs are supported by grant funds and research gifts; these are the biochemical, molecular reproductive physiology (2), nutrition, and muscle biology labs.
In adjacent Newman Hall, built even earlier than Poole, is the meats laboratory, where students learn about processing and value-added further processing of beef, pork, lamb, and poultry meat products.
The animal farms, although not directly under supervision of the department, are an important element of our teaching, research, and Extension missions. Prior to 1990, the five farms – Equine Center, Starkey Swine Center, Morgan Poultry Center, LaMaster Dairy, and Simpson Station (beef cattle) – were housed administratively within the AVS Department; since that time they are administered by Research Farm Services, with AVS as the primary user. Students gain extensive hands-on experience during techniques and advanced classes; undergrads and graduate students conduct research with animals; and Extension activities such as Field Days, alumni events, or S.C. Cattlemen's tours are focused on best-practice management models at the farms. South Carolina is heavily invested in agriculture and our students benefit from access to these farms in ways that our neighboring states cannot replicate. The department also owns the Brick Barn (currently home to a flock of Southdown sheep) and a rodeo arena adjacent to the Woodburn Plantation near campus.
Please visit our Farms, Barns, and Arenas page to find out more information concerning each individual research facility. Click Here.

The banks we can love: Seed banks
If you're looking at your seed packets, either itching to get them in the ground or started indoors, or being all smug because you did that last weekend, just take a moment to give thanks for seed banks.
No, I mean seriously. Even if all you're planting this year are trusty hybrids (and I understand that; I plant some myself). Even if you think your penchant for heirloom veggies is a bit of a folly, just a gardener's indulgence. If you eat wheat in any form, you may someday be more dependent on the work of seed banks than you care to think about right now.
Why? Plant geneticists are racing against a variety of wheat disease called UG99. They're trying to breed in resistance to this strain of stem rust before the disease circles the globe in the way of all nasty things we'd like to keep confined within tidy little borders. They hope that the resistance they seek is stored — guess where — in the genetic vaults of seed banks.
Check it out in the book "The Viking in the Wheat Field," a biography of Bent Skovmand, by Susan Dworkin, and the transcript of an interview with her. By the way, Skovmand was adamantly opposed to the patenting of genes in plant material, calling it akin to patenting every word in Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Holidays are super important to Shannon and Christmas is the most important one to her. I'm not sure if it's because her birthday is on the 14th and, when she was younger, I kept all Christmas decor away until her party and celebration were over, but for the past few (ha) years, the day after Thanksgiving, the lights are up and then the decorating begins! And, look at her... she's decorating her dorm room, too! She LOVES Christmas!
Shannon is the biggest traditionalist I know. Holidays are especially important to her and Christmas is extra special. At her insistence, we put up the outside lights over Thanksgiving weekend and the next weekend is reserved for the Christmas tree and interior decorations. And interior decorations mean her bedroom, too. She has twinkle lights and a mini tree (complete with ornaments) that get set up each year. Since shes in Minnesota, we had to change it up a bit this year... everything was put up over Thanksgiving because she was home. And, yep... it would appear that shes started a new holiday tradition: Decorating the dorm room! Thank goodness for the $5 sale table at Target... she couldnt resist! And, up first... the twinkle lights!

Chris Brown Claims He Lost Virginity at Age 8, Rants About Community Service
Chris Brown is a cultural lightning rod. He rarely does interviews, but he doesn't need to, since his tweets, his antics and his attitude often tell the story for him. In a rare chat with a British publication, the singer revealed that he lost his virginity when he was just 8 (!!!) and sounded off about his beef with the probation and community service he's received.
In the interview with The Guardian, Breezy pounded his chest and wasn't modest, likening himself and his life to "an inspirational guidelines book."
He said, "You can take my life story or scenarios or songs and relate to them, and apply them to your everyday life. You know, whether it be personal or musical, I just think I'm a walking art piece, just a ball of creativity."
A legend in his own mind, right?
As for the claim that his age was in single digits when he lost his virginity to a girl who was 14 or 15? "It's different in the country," he said. Breezy great up in Virginia, and by his account, they start young there. But at the age of 8? That's really young and the story is questionable.
The singer also groused about his community service issues. He was given extra hours to after he was accused of thumbing the scale and logging hours that he didn't actually complete.
"I'll be honest – and you can quote me on that – that is a motherf--ker there," he growled about community service. "For me, I think it's more of a power trip for the DA. I can speak freely now, because I don't really care what they say about it, but as far as, like, the 1,000 extra hours they gave me, that's totally fricking bananas."
The singer considered that treatment to be both targeted and unfair, saying, "They want me to be the example. Young black kids don't have the fairer chances. You can see Lindsay Lohan in and out of court every day, you see Charlie Sheen, whoever else, do what they want to do.
"There hasn't been any incident that I started since I got on probation, even with the Frank Ocean fight, the Drake situation, all those were defense modes. People think I just walk around as the aggressor, this mad black guy, this angry, young, troubled kid, but I'm not. I'm more and more laid back. It's just that people know if they push a button, it'll make more news than their music. Attaching themselves to me, good or bad, will benefit them."
Clearly, Breezy's opinion of himself is high and he's always the victim. At least he remains interesting.

About Dmitry M
I'm a marketing guy from Seattle who enjoys creating websites and learning about tech.
As a number of users have already pointed out, the user was banned by accident - not to silence his criticisms against DRM:
- EA's response to the banned account -
In addition, the attack on Bank of America, is out of place. I understand the point that the author is trying to make, but this is juvenile. Claiming that BoA practices lead to our country's economic downturn and somehow suggesting that EA's practices are comparable in that respect is pure sensationalism.
Eventually a similar level of oversight that we have for TV and Radio broadcasting will apply to commercial internet. I doubt it will significantly impact online anonymity. Many networks are being developed (Tor) and will continue to innovate to get around censorship.
The school had absolutely no right to coerce the student. A Facebook account has as much protection against privacy invasion as a personal diary or other items covered by the 4th Amendment - at least from the perspective of a third party (i.e. the school).
Even if the student violated Facebook's Terms and Services, the student's account does not automatically become open to the public - which is what the action's of the school imply should have been the case.
The only legal recourse in this situation would have been for the school to contact Facebook. At which point it would be up to Facebook to hand over the information.
Protecting copies through DRM doesn't really make sense. If I want to borrow a friend's book (physical copy in this analogy) I can do so without paying anything to the author. He might lend this book to a dozen other people in the book's lifespan. People share things, whether it is a physical book or a song. In trying to prevent sharing, however, DRM stifles creativity and exerts unfair restrictions how this software can be used from platform to platform.
TL;DR Get with the times entertainment industry.
The biggest concern is privacy. With the onslaught of invasive legislation there is good reason to believe that third party hosting companies will be much more willing to turn over everything I have on a simple request rather than fight for the protection of user privacy.
With Google Drive coming out to rival Dropbox and other storage services this issue is going to return to the spotlight. Interesting enough, in the case of Google and other bigger storage providers, there is an economic incentive to stand up for user rights. If users' rights are forfeited too quickly, the latter will pursue legal action against Google creating a pretty hefty sum of legal fees. For Google, Dropbox, etc. it would make more financial sense to pick a fight with the DOJ than with the millions of users.
So, while I'm skeptical that the privacy concern will ever be resolved, I do have some hope in bigger storage companies when it comes to user rights.

A Legacy of Hope in Memory of Emmett Louis Till
Emmett Louis Till Age 14 His brutal murder on August 28, 1955 and the acquittal of the murderers sparked the modern Civil Rights movement.
THE EMMETT TILL LEGACY FOUNDATION (ETLF) dedicates its ongoing efforts to turning an ugly part of American History..... the brutal murder of Emmett Till into a positive, inspired and empowered future for youth in America and across the world. ETLF wants to be a part of the solution and believes that youth represent our future and deserve to reach their fullest potential, unlike the severed life and the denial of justice that Emmett and his family experienced. Youth may not experience the same form of lynching that ended Emmett's life. But, many of the probems facing youth and their families today are nightmares. ETLF defines those nightmares as horrific as lynching but in the form of hopelessness, lack of adequate education, poverty, poor health, obesity, joblessness, early incarceration, the lack of civic and political engagement and so many other forms of disenfranchisement.
ETLF knows that without knowledge and understanding of the past, we are subject to have history repeat itself. We cannot allow that to happen. With adequate support of ETLF initiatives and programs, a huge difference will be made in the lives of many.
The Emmett Till Legacy Foundation partners with supporters of every community to bring HOPE, actionable solutions and foster an overall mutual wellness to the lives of youth, women and their families around us.
PREACHERMAN by Melody Gardot
The Emmett Till Legacy Foundation presents the powerful and moving video for Melody Gardot's new track "Preacherman" from her "socially conscious" album "Currency of Man". "Preacherman" the song and video were created by Melody Gardot as a poetic tribute to the story and legacy of 14 year old Emmett Till.
"Journey back in history and witness the haunting tragedy of Emmett Till's death. Yes, a ransom was paid with his blood. His ultimate sacrifice and
the courage of his mother Mamie Till Mobley inspired a movement and set us all on a course for much needed change in America and around the world.
Unfortunately, the past is not past us. Too many lives continue to be sacrificed today because of racism, hatred and the violent struggle for power.
Our collective anguish and pain is captured in this powerful video and fuels the need for unity. Together, we must never forget the ugly parts of our
past history and pledge Never Again. Let's, invest in each other and continue the fight for our humanity, our freedom, justice, equity and equality.
Let's expect changed minds and hearts and a hope filled future for generations to come. We thank Melody Gardot for "Preacherman" and for #RememberingEmmettTill
and the #SpiritofMamieTillMobley with such a timely and emotionally touching tribute!" ~ Deborah Watts, a cousin of Emmett Till and co-Founder of The Emmett Till
Legacy Foundation
Watch and share this moving video below:
Melody Gardot's reflections:
"The profound nature of our existence is that we are able at any moment to connect to anyone, anywhere. History is there to remind us of how far we've come, and every day our journey is to continue with that progress of becoming more wise, more compassionate and more considerate human beings. Remembering Emmett though song is a way to remind people that there is no need to continue with senseless crimes. Race and racism do not go hand in hand. We are only one race: human."
~ Melody Gardot - soulful jazz artist

Okay, that headline is a little extreme, but this is a story that needs to be talked about more: Americans are driving less and less.
Check out this chart from Doug Short showing vehicle miles driven on a population adjusted basis.
We're back to 1999 levels.
And that's adjusting for the entire population. If you adjust for only the population that's over 16 (driving age), the story is even more dramatic.
And then even not adjusting for anything, just looking at raw miles, the trend is obviously down since 2007.
And that trend continues this year. In the last week, gasoline sales were off 6% (!) from the year before.
There are a few different theories. Maybe Americans have adjusted to a new era of gas prices.
Demographics also probably play a role.
Note that there's been a pretty big decline in labor force participation since the mid-2000s, a trend that's in large part attributable to people getting older.
Going back a bit further, you can see that things peaked around 1999, and then moderated a little, before collapsing in the last couple of years.
On the demographic front, it's a fact that gasoline demand just drops off precipitously among the 50+ cohort. This chart from Harry Dent (via Doug Short) shows annual gasoline purchases by age.
And as Barclays recently pointed out, the 50+ age group has boomed as a percentage of the population.
It also seems conceivable that the internet, and online shopping have cut down on some driving (perhaps?).
Either way, it's clearly a big economic story, and one we'll be discussing further, especially as gas prices remain so elevated.
