Action in Jackson
Big changes over at WDBD Jackson. While reporting a story about WTVX West Palm grabbing TheLaw.TV recently, I saw that Leigh White was in the sales department at the Four Points Media station, not heading up Fox affiliate WDBD in the #90 DMA–as she'd been when B&C's Market Eye "visited" Jackson for the first time in May.
Yesterday, the Mississippi newspaper Clarion-Ledger reported that the station, now owned by Jackson Broadcasting, and offshoot of upstate New York's Roundtable Broadcasting, sacked 10 full timers and suspended the hours of several part-timers. New GM Marc Jaromin, who's the Roundtable president, also put a weekend newscast on ice until further notice.
"This is nothing more than a right-sizing that's in line with the industry at this time," he told the paper.
The station plans to expand its "weekday product" and add an evening newscast "in the near future," reports the Clarion-Ledger, who says Jaromin came on board late last week.
WDBD launched a 9 p.m. news in January.

Get the Settlement You Deserve with the Help of an Accident Injury Lawyer in Dayton, OH
Today's highways are filled with many accidents due to distracted drivers, poor road signs, road rage, fatigue and many other things. When an accident occurs that causes serious injuries, a victim should immediately contact an accident injury lawyer in Dayton, OH. It's important for a victim to be fully aware of their rights as they try to recover. A pushy insurance company will be relentless about calling and trying to force them to settle. It's important for a victim to focus on their recovery and attend all of their doctor or therapy appointments. If they're unable to work because of medical appointments or due to their condition, they can receive the lost wages whenever a settlement is final.
A victim should never sign any settlement agreement without speaking to an accident injury lawyer in Dayton, OH. Insurance companies will determine if a victim is a good candidate for a quick settlement based on the information they will try to obtain from them. When an attorney is involved, they will only divulge the information an insurance company needs to settle the case. The attorney will attempt to negotiate a settlement on behalf of a victim and protect their rights. The consequences of an accident can include the inability to work for several weeks, years, or possibly forever. A victim should be compensated for their losses by the negligent party.
In the worst case scenario, the injuries from an accident can cause an individual's death. An accident attorney can file a wrongful death claim against the negligent party on behalf of the deceased individual's estate. Usually, a parent, child or spouse is eligible to receive compensation for the loss of their loved one. If family members relied on the individual for financial support, they could be compensated for future earnings the loved one would have earned.
If you or a loved one have been in an accident that wasn't your fault and are seriously injured, don't suffer alone. TSMS Law has years of experience successfully representing accident victims. They will fight for your rights and inform you of your legal choices throughout the course of negotiations.

Some People's Legacies are Engraved on Monuments .....
Yours Can be Written on Lives.
The Charitable Lead Trust first gained wide-spread attention with the publicity drawn to the Jacqueline Onassis estate. And, today, with interest rates still relatively low, the time may be especially ripe to explore its unique benefits. Low interest rates can mean larger savings in transfer taxes (gift and estate taxes) for the donor and larger immediate gifts for the designated charity. To be sure, the Charitable Lead Trust is not a plan for everyone, but it can be a win/win opportunity for many major donors and qualified charities.
You make an irrevocable transfer of assets to a trust for a term of years or for the life of an individual. At the end of the term, the principal can return to you or pass to other beneficiaries (usually your children or grandchildren). With careful planning, you can substantially reduce -- or even eliminate -- estate and gift taxes.
In a sense, the lead trust is the mirror opposite of the popular Charitable Remainder Trust. But, instead of paying an income to individual beneficiaries with the remainder interest going to charity, the trust pays income to charity for the period of time with the remainder interest going to the beneficiaries. While there are different kinds of lead trusts, the most popular kind, is the one in which the remainder interest goes to the grantor's family rather than reverting to the grantor -- the non-grantor or family lead trust.
A Charitable Lead Trust can be established either during your lifetime or in your Will (many lead trusts are created by Will). However while federal interest rates are still relatively low (low interst rates generate higher charitablie deductions for lead trusts), there is an incentive to create and fund a lead trust during life rather than risk much higher rates and a lower charitable deduction when the trust comes into existence at some uncertain time under a Will.
We would be happy to work with you and your advisors to help you map our your best plan of action. If you would like more information on Charitable Lead Trusts, please contact Michael Afflitto.

You guys know when I talk about being fat, I mean it affectionately. But in this post I briefly touched on the connotations of "fat" and I was really surprised by how many people said to me afterwards how much they've been affected by the negative things our society associates with being fat. I've always played up to the stereotype and been the bouncy, bubbly fat girl who openly declares her adoration for all things pizza, and as a result I've perpetuated it further – which may or may not be a good thing. I honestly couldn't call it.
Because I've been genuinely amazed at how common this is – with men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes admitting after that post that they feel like they're constantly wearing a mask to match themselves up to the personality that their weight demands they have. In other words, they're denying themselves their own personal freedom because of their body shape and the way they feel it defines them.
And this isn't just overweight people – it's pervasive across all levels. Ask any girl – or boy – and they'll probably tell you they have fat days, weeks, or years. This won't be the first time I tell you guys it's a state of mind. And it won't be the last. I 'm going to drill this one in if it kills me.
So when we say the word fat, what do we mean?
Do we mean lazy? Ugly? Maybe we mean lacking in self-control or self-awareness. Or perhaps we mean just anything above 110lbs. Who bloody knows.
Either way, I don't buy it, and neither should you. When I was 290lbs, I worked damn hard – a full-time job and a full-time MPhil don't come easy, you know. And I'm not alone in that – so many people I talk to gain weight because they just don't have the time to spend preparing meals and working out that they need to lose weight. That's why the "quick fix" idea is so pervasive – because we just don't have time for slow and steady.
So lazy ain't it.
Ugly? Pfft. Don't even get me started on that. Beauty, eye, beholder, yadda yadda yadda. You're not ugly. Stop thinking it, and get away from me with those toxic thoughts.
As for the apparent lack of self-control and self-awareness – well, for the former, I refer you back to my earlier statement vis the job and MPhil. And I was painfully, painfully self-aware. I knew, when I was struggling to find clothes to fit, when I was making yet another phone call to Pizza Hut (before I discovered the anonymity of online ordering – although facing the same delivery boy two days in a row brought that indignity right home) – even when I was being rejected for jobs, I knew that people would think a certain thing about me. I thought it about myself. Fat-shaming central was right here.
So no – when we talk about fat, we shouldn't be talking about any of those things. Those things have been constructed around a stereotype, and stereotypes are something we disapprove of round these parts. And it's not like they mean anything anyway – check out this article, which describes how some Olympic frickin' athletes have been called fat. I give up.
When I was bigger, I was buying into the stereotype of what it means to be a fat girl because I didn't feel as though I had any other option. And it worries me that the more we perpetuate these stereotypes, and the more we try to pigeon-hole 'fat' people as having to have a certain identity and certain negative characteristics, the worse it's going to get – because when I had a day where I felt ashamed of being overweight, the last thing in the entire world I was going to do was join a gym full of skinny people for an extra helping of guilt. No way. I'd be far more likely to go home and comfort eat, which I'm pretty sure is the very definition of a vicious cycle.
What's amazed me about my tentative steps into the world of health and fitness – through my interactions with other bloggers, fitness professionals, and the like – is that it's not these super-healthy-types that are the ones spreading the shame around. This is all coming from the trashy magazines and snarky websites – which, unfortunately, have a much wider audience available to them. And because they don't understand fat, and because they've desperately bought into the impossible ideal, what we talk about when we talk about fat is… Bullshit.
Bodies come in all shapes and sizes – and while now, I wouldn't advocate being morbidly obese as a healthy way to live, I'd say we don't focus anywhere near enough on health as a goal, and a reasonable bit of fat as a good thing. Think of it this way – on Matt's programme, we're still aiming for between 21-32% fat. So even science says that having some fat on you is ok. Not just ok, in fact – good.
Culturally, for all of our sakes, we have to stop demonising fat, and perpetuating stereotypes of fat-ness – because it doesn't help anyone, especially when we can't, as a society, work out exactly what fat actually is. It's okay not to be a size 0, but equally, if that's just the way you're built and you're healthy at that size, then it's fine to be that too. What matters is being healthy and happy– your own body has its own rules as to what qualifies as a booty storage area, and no amount of crazy diets or self-flagellation are going to change that.
After all, looks can be pretty deceiving – I'm still not a size 10 (not even close) and I've still got plenty of bits that jiggle where they shouldn't. But, I can lift heavier weights than a lot of men, and I can run up a flight of stairs without breaking a sweat. I couldn't do that a year ago, and now I can, my body feels better inside. Stand me next to most people, though, and I'm still fat – and therefore, presumably, all of the things I mentioned above. It's as possible to be thin and unfit as it is to be fat and fit – which is why we should all be striving for individual health goals, rather than conforming to an impossible ideal.
We need to readjust what we mean when we talk about fat. And not only that, we need to rethink what we say when we talk about each other. We can continue to be negative, and end up trapped in a world of miserable diets doomed to failure – or we can give this whole healthy, positive, supportive thing a shot.
Your call.

Rather than doing oodles of separate stories on various announcements, we'll filter them to bring you only the stuff that matters most, updating every Friday for your reading pleasure.
This week we have the new Apple iPad, Super Mario Run, Samsung Gear S3 Classic LTE, Uuni 3, Apple Watch bands, Maserati Levante Q4 and more.
New Apple iPad
Apple decided to quietly update its iPad Air 2 this week with a new name of simply 9.7-inch iPad. The new iPad features a brighter retina display, the A9 processor from the iPhone 6S and a slimmer depth down from 7.5mm to 6.1mm.

New Apple iPhone, in red
Apple has also unleashed a new version of its iPhone 7 this week, now in red. As you can imagine it's more than just a new colour.
The new Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus (PRODUCT)RED Special Edition phones start at £699 for the 128GB model. By splashing out on the vibrant red aluminum model you'll be helping the charity partnership which, in its ten years, has generated over $130 million from Apple alone.
Samsung Gear S3 Classic LTE
Samsung has taken the wraps off a new version of its Gear S3 Classic smartwatch that now comes packing LTE connectivity.
The new timepiece in still running Tizen OS and packing GPS but now also takes a SIM. That means always connected calls, texts and app data - like streamed music. Here's hoping it hits the UK. Read up on it all below.
Plantronics Backbeat 500 wireless headphones
If you want an immersive yet wireless headphone experience that lasts, the Plantronics Backbeat 500 could be for you. These cans kick out 18 hours of playback for less than £90.

Maserati Levante Q4
We took to the Alps to test out Maserati's new SUV the Levante Q4. Check out what we thought of the 275bhp luxury beast at the link.
Uuni 3
When it comes to wood-fired pizza, ovens can be expensive - reserved for the professionals. Thanks to Uuni they can now be affordable too.
The latest Uuni 3 woodfired oven heats to 500°C in 10 minutes to cook awesome pizzas in 60 seconds so you can churn them out at your next garden party. Barbeques are so last year.

RBC Ride for the Kids has raised more than £60,000 for SportsAid as 47 riders, all of mixed abilities, completed the two-day cycle from London to Bruges. Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) has been a partner of SportsAid since 2014 and provides support to 50 young talented athletes every year through the charity. The team covered 184 miles each - a total of 8,648 collectively - in support of the next generation of British Olympic and Paralympic heroes.
The ride also helped to launch the return of the #MyMiles challenge for SportsAid Week 2018. The social media campaign was created last year to shine a spotlight on the country's brightest sporting prospects and the training they undertake, day after day, to reach the very top. On average, a SportsAid athlete covers 43 miles under their own steam every week, and this September the British public will look to keep them company through #MyMiles.
Desiree Clarke-Noble, Managing Director, Head of Brand and Marketing, Europe and Asia-Pacific at RBC Capital Markets, said: "Our SportsAid partnership has grown year on year. It's a crucial partnership for us. They may only be a small charity but the impact is enormous. Each year we think of different ways to add to the partnership and support SportsAid so they can in turn support more athletes. This was about an epic challenge."
The team set off from RBC's Thames Court offices in London last Friday (8 June) and made their way through Essex, with pleasurable pit stops in Brentwood and Danbury, as they completed the 88 mile journey to Harwich to catch an evening ferry to the Hook of Holland. A quick diversion to Great Totham Primary School in Maldon was factored in after lunch as pupils gathered in the playground to meet and greet the riders and cheer them on their way.
Paralympic champion Danny Crates and Olympic silver medallists Jess Eddie and Richard Hounslow, who were all part of the team, were introduced to the pupils and thanked them for their support. The trio also took part in a Q&A, led by Tim Lawler, SportsAid's Chief Executive, as the rest of the riders had the opportunity to hear about their careers and the difference the charity's support made to them following dinner at Harwich and Dovercourt Golf Club.
"It's been 21 years since I received a grant from SportsAid and back then, when you're quite young, sport is expensive and you rely on the bank of mum and dad," said former canoeist Richard. "RBC Ride for the Kids is such a fantastic event – helping those young athletes not just to dream about achieving their goals but to actually have the opportunity to go out there and live their dreams – I was lucky enough to do that and it all started from SportsAid."
The ferry arrived in the Netherlands the next morning and the riders passed Rotterdam, Middelburg and Breskens on the way to Belgium as they completed the last stretch The team eventually congregated at the finish in Burg Square as they celebrated in front of Gothic Bruges City Hall. The riders then headed to the Crowne Plaza Hotel before having dinner at Cafedraal restaurant as richly deserved reward for clocking off the remaining 96 miles.
"The ride was fantastic," said Tim. "I think it will have been a genuinely special experience for everyone involved and of course, through the superb fundraising efforts of the riders, it will directly benefit talented young athletes too. There were so many highlights, but the endless miles of dedicated cycle-ways and riding across three different countries with Olympians and Paralympians would be up there. The planning and delivery of the ride was top-notch.
"The route and scenery was stunning and, from the start to the Flemish finish, the feeling among riders was one of collective effort and common cause. Everyone had time for everyone else; people were interested in why others had signed up – what they hoped to get from the ride and how they were feeling along the way. It was great to be part of a unique team, if only for a couple of days, and I felt immense pride that it was all to support SportsAid.
"For several years now we have been trying to create a 'signature event' for SportsAid – one that we could call our own. A participation challenge event that could reflect the charity's values; that could be as inclusive and fun as possible; that would have the potential to become an annual fixture; and that crucially, could raise funds and awareness. In the RBC-SportsAid Ride for the Kids, we feel we might have found it. Here's to the 2019 edition."
RBC has now raised nearly £400,000 for SportsAid over the last four years. The bank, in addition to its financial award, provides young athletes with ongoing mentoring, support through its buddy programme and the opportunity to attend presentation workshops at the Old Vic Theatre. Zachary Morrison is a judoka competing internationally for Great Britain benefitting from RBC's backing. He visited the first pit stop in Brentwood to thank the riders.
"The support is really important – I wouldn't be able to afford most of the things I need when I go abroad to compete and SportsAid has done that for me," said South Ockenden-based Zachary, 14, who is set to head out to the Cadet European Judo Championships to represent his country at the Under-18 age group level for the first time. "If these people didn't raise this money [from RBC Ride for the Kids] it would be a struggle – they do it for people like me."
Royal Bank of Canada, one of the largest banks in the world and Canada's largest bank by market capitalisation, partners with SportsAid to provide annual financial support, ongoing mentoring and deserved recognition to 50 young talented British athletes looking to fulfil their sporting ambitions.

About Wicked Ink Books:
Wicked Ink Books consists of seven passionate writers who'd met at writing conferences, trainings, or other retreats over time. It was our love of the craft that drew us together, but respect for our individual accomplishments, and the unique strengths that we each brought to the group proved to be the glue that bound us together as friends.
It was about ten months ago that Wicked Ink Books was born in the mountains of Colorado while together for a writing retreat that offered three days of quiet, uninterrupted bliss. A chance to focus on our stories, leaving our significant others behind to deal with the offspring, house, and other pressures that constantly tear us away from our writing.
The retreat house was expansive, allowing each of us a private cubby or nook where we could escape into our stories via our laptops. Over snack breaks and meals, we compared notes on word count and chapter endings. Our giddiness at meeting goals was infectious. During drinks and dessert on our second night, the idea of doing an anthology came up. The more we mulled it over and discussed possibilities, it became clear that combining our expertise and various writing styles was an amazing opportunity. The ability to create something more than what we'd been able to accomplish individually up until then.
Now, less than a year later, we've turned those individual strengths into a wonderful collection of speculative fiction short stories in TICK TOCK: SEVEN TALES OF TIME. Our very first, hopefully of many, novels that will showcase our passion for storytelling.
We thank those of you who have traveled our path alongside us. For those of you who are discovering us for the first time, we hope you enjoy our collaboration and will come back for more in the years to come.

You can change your display name on Gmail – the name seen by the recipients when sending your emails. This method of changing your display name in Gmail is only for emails sent from gmail desktop login and will not sync with all devices such as Android or iPhone . This method also does not control how your contacts have saved your display name in their address book.
- Log into your Gmail account then click the gear
- Go to the Accounts tab In Settings,.
- Select the Edit Info link next to the account you would like to update where it says Send Mail As:,
- Click the button next to the second option below Name:, type your desired display name and Save Changes.
The primary username for gmail is the name that is chosen when you first create a new email account. If you create your gmail account using a Google+ account with an alternate email address such as a hotmail email address or a yahoo email address, your primary username will automatically be changed to the email@example.com.

The blade design can be the most important thing you have to always consider when buying a knife. Depending on the blade design, you can now find the knife being better at doing certain things than the others do. Some of the common designs include the clip points, drop point, spear point, and more.
If you are going to pick a knife for common use, then you need one that has a clip point, spear point, or drop point. These three blade designs will position the blade tip in a way that provides the user with great control of the knife. You can easily use the knife for various activities when the design is this good.
The length of the blade also comes in handy. For a knife to be used for heavy chopping, then it needs a longer blade of about 10 inches. If you have to use it as a camp knife for various simple functions, then anything from 5 to 8 inches should be good.
The material that the manufacturer uses to make the blade is very crucial. It is often what can make people buy or not buy a knife. For most cases, you will find the knife being made of stainless steel or carbon steel. Other manufacturers are coming up with new materials by combining steel with other elements. The additional elements are important for making sure that the steel is better and can last longer.
Do not let the fancy steel names distract you from learning more about the material. If it is necessary, do a proper research to establish if such materials would make the knife last longer.
Still as part of the knife construction, you have to check the blade grind. You can get various types of blade grinds depending on the manufacturer design. The common type of grind will be the saber grind and flat grind. There are many others, but they do not get so much attention.
The saber grand comes with a primary bevel that extends for a short distance from the cutting edge to the blade back. This creates a thick axe-like edge. Such a grind is great for chopping and splitting.
The flat grind on the other hand is great for chopping, slicing, and cutting. You can learn more about the other grinds before picking on one.
Tang construction
It is possible you have read the term from the reviews above, but what is it all about? The tang is the portion of the blade that extends into the handle. You will get either a model having the full tang or partial tang design.

The handle
The handle just like in a gun helps you to easily control the knife. Just make sure that the handle you get can live up to the construction of the knife. It should be comfortable, offer more grip, and durable at the same time. It can be very unpleasant to have a handle that is broken when the rest of the knife still looks as good as new.
Having the best product should never be a problem for you when you know the type of knife that you want.
For those who often have problems making up their minds, the reviews and buying guide above should come in handy. You will always end up with a top performance knife once you have gone through our list.

As this may cause damage, the alloy wheels need to never clean with an abrasive cleaner. For removing dirt or rust either, you need to never use steel wool. Polishing compounds may also cause damage. That is certainly why they need to be prevented.
The cleaners which are sometimes used are not alkaline. If this really is true, they may cause substantial damage to the alloy. It really is essential for you yourself to enquire about the cleaner that will be used n progress.
While they may be still hot after having a ride, finally, you should at no point wash the alloy wheels. Wait in order for them to cool down. Avoid utilizing really hot water or a steam washer.

James Dobson On Ladybird Bachmann
"Thirty homosexual activists put on the garb of cavemen and came into his clinic with cameras and scared his patients to death and have harassed that man, who has a right to do what he is doing because that's what he believes. I think it's unconscionable that people like you guys don't report it." - Focus On The Family founder James Dobson, under the delusion that nobody reported on the "barbarian glittering" of Ladybird's office.
RELATED: Think Progress notes that those horrible activists conducted their operation in Bachmann's completely empty office. As the video proves, neither Bachmann nor any patients were present to be "scared to death." But as we all know, the truth has never mattered much to a good Christian man like James Dobson.
Labels: hate groups, James Dobson, liars, Michele Bachmann

Ten Ideas for Improving the AT&T Performing Arts Center
It has been nearly a year since the grand festivities that opened the AT&T Performing Arts Center. Since then, the center has experienced a number of highlights, and the year has also raised a number of questions. Many of these involve the PAC's administration and finances, including CEO Mark Nerenhausen's abrupt departure and financial shortfalls, some anticipated and others not. Later this month, the board of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, led by its new chairman, Roger Nanney, will go into retreat to plan for the future. Over the next week, we will share with you a number of recent conversations we have had with the leaders of the Performing Arts Center about the first year and the future.
In its design and planning, one of the intended functions was for the PAC to serve as a gathering place, a civic center, and a bridge between downtown and uptown. What is clear looking back on this first year is that the PAC has failed at these functions. And given the spatial challenges that the PAC's immediate surroundings present, its size, design flaws, and mono-functionality, even with potential future residential development, the space, as is, may scarcely function as more than a dog walk for nearby residents when it is not in use for events.
But there are a number of simple improvements and initiatives that could be introduced to the Performing Arts Center to make its space a more welcoming and viable public space. Here are my ideas for improving the district, unconstrained, of course, by budgets, administrations, red tape, zoning, bureaucracy, or any of the things that make actualizing things that seem simple more difficult.
1. Café in Sammons Plaza: The Performing Arts Center people say this is going to happen, and it has always been part of the design, but the need for some kind of public food and drink stop in the center is absolutely vital to making the space work. The space needs a reason to be there during the day, but also a reason to stay in the space after an event. If you have been to Main Street Garden since the café opened there, you will immediately notice the life it brings to the park. And there is a key lesson from Main Street Garden too: don't make the PAC café a fancy, overpriced venue-style concession stand. Offer three dollar beers like Main Street Garden, and at least the D Magazine staff will become regular bums in the PAC's now empty park.
2. Collaborative Bookstore: Dallas is bookstore challenged, but some of the best book shopping can be done in the city's museums gift shops. The Arts District should leverage the many institutions within its boundaries and create a common bookstore in Sammons Plaza that sells volumes from the various gift shops. Combine this with the café, and watch for the Saturday afternoon Half Price Books crowd to start milling about the district.
3. Moveable seating: There is something about the PAC that feels over-programmed and over-watched – its attitude is way too tight. It needs to loosen up. One simple way would be to add seating in the café that is intentionally moveable. The space is so huge, turn it into a game. Allow people to move tables to the many empty areas, find the shady spots at different parts of the day, create a Bryant Park-like dance of seats. It would make the space more usable and make it feel more welcoming.
4. Close Flora St.: At some point Dallas needs to realize that pedestrian spaces mean no cars. Flora Street is not very busy, but it is still an active street and you have to look both ways before crossing. Who creates a public plaza and lets a street run through the center of it? Plus Flora makes the Wyly's entryway feel cut off and senseless.
5. Add fountains, rotating public art installations: Once Flora St. is closed to traffic, it will need to be reclaimed into the plaza space. This can be done with a few more water features/fountains smack dab in the middle of the street so we all know it is not a street anymore (plus, they could lure kids from the Main Street Garden fountain). Also, turn that odd, vacant feeling that currently characterizes Sammons Park into an asset by leveraging the creativity a few intelligent artists. Create a curatorial position that rotates between the various museums in the district. The curator will commission temporary installations for the plaza that focus on trying to make sense of its space.
6. Fix the transition from the PAC to the Woodall Park: Everyone is waiting on the Woodall Rogers Deck Park to fix a plethora of downtown connectivity problems. The problem is nothing connects very well to the future Woodall Park site. One of the biggest problems is the green space in between the Meyerson and the Woodall Rogers service road that is cut off from the PAC plaza by a parking garage entryway. This is the most natural path for people wanting to walk to and from the PAC and the Woodall Park, and it needs to be addressed.
7. Turn the parking lot across from the Nasher and south of the Museum Tower lot into a park: When I wrote this piece in D Magazine last year addressing the PAC's pedestrian issues, I brought up urban planner Kevin Lynch who spoke about creating place legibility, visual cues in space that pedestrians can read and that encourage people to move through spaces. In terms of cues, the Arts District is still a collection of moments that aren't linked together very well. From the PAC, you may get to the Meyerson, but once you hit Pearl St., there is nothing to keep you going all the way to the Nasher. Turning the parking lot in between into a modest green space would help ease that transition. Reclaiming the back of the Belo Mansion across the street from the lot and turning it into retail space would be even better.
8. Dampen traffic on Pearl St.: Pearl St. has to become two lanes. There won't be an "Arts District" until it is narrowed.
9. Green the Wyly esplanade: The entrance to the Wyly is a disaster. It is difficult to navigate, full of concrete, hot, and unwelcoming. It needs to feel more like the stairway at the Nasher that leads from the garden to the lower auditorium space. That is, it needs to be greener and offer spots where people feel invited to sit in the shade, duck out of the plaza space above. How come we still build spaces in Dallas that have so much concrete? Does everyone designing these things forget about June, July, August, and September?
10. Create the Performing Arts Center Oversized-Chess Club: A city that functions well provides opportunities for people to go out and have a great night filled with conversation and social drama without having to go to an event, spend money, or have any idea what you are "doing" with your night at all. When I lived in Rome, I spent many nights simply sitting on the steps of a fountain in Campo de'Fiori watching the chess matches that popped up in the square with players using three foot high pieces, chatting with other onlookers and homeless men, grabbing an occasional coffee or Peroni from a nearby café. Dallas can't expect organic chess matches to pop up in its parks, but if the PAC organized a chess tournament or league, it would help create the sense that the plaza is there to be used and to be congregated in. Matches would serve as way of "catching" people as they left events, giving them reason to stay in the plaza after performances. Who knows, street musicians may even swing by to earn a buck or two. If everyone in North Texas knew that on Fridays and Saturdays, if you had nothing to do, you could head to the PAC and jump in on a pick-up chess match, at least a few people would go to the Arts District without having to have tickets to an event.

And this is one of them.
Mere days ago, I asked you to name your favourite comic book covers of all time. And you gave me your answers! So, without further ado, here is what you came up with:
The Silver Surfer shows his peaceful intent by randomly zapping the Earth.
Wasn't this used as the cover for issue #1 of Marvel UK's Super-Heroes comic?
Nominated by Ronnie Poore.
Mary Jane Watson's first ever cover - and she's determined to make the most of it.
Nominated by cerebus660.
When Black Bolt waves his arms around, you know he means business.
When Reed Richards starts to get sucked into the Negative Zone, Sue Richards shows her value to the team by just standing there asking the Thing to save him, instead of using her force field to do it herself. No wonder they replaced her with Medusa. Medusa would've saved him.
Is there any hope for our heroes?
"Bat Out of Hell!" And not a Meatloaf in sight.
I'm totally showing my ignorance here but just who is that man with the bare chest and blue cape?
Then again, who's the man with the flying skis?
A genuinely wonderful composition from DC's cover maestro.

Did you follow our spooky blow-out over at Sisters In the Shadows this year?
Don't forget–we do this sort of thing every October.
In case you are interested, here's the PDF of this year's fun over there:

So much shifted for us in the short time of October this year. This is the final year you will find as us Sisters In The Shadows. As of November, we have chosen to take the mantle of: The Sisters of Wyrd.
Halfway through the month, due to personal family issues, part of our creative team had to bow out of this year's festivities…and yet, we carried on.
Here is your free PDF of all that went on. Enjoy.
Remember to come back next year…we will not stop this Frightfest any time soon.
Download it right here. Click and it is yours.
Long have I loved the Masque Of The Red Death…and this is where the impetus for this piece came from…even though I didn't realize that until after I finished and stepped away from it.
This was an easy piece. I had a lot of fun doing it, more than I would have thought.
The focal point, our skeletal lady in her finery best, is an image from Ephemera's Garden, one of her freebies. The background is a simple napkin. I used charcoal (white and black) and a variety of colored pencils (clear gesso and colored pencils are a win scenario for me)…and voila…
When I stepped back to see what she wanted to say, the words I scribbled down were exactly what I heard.
The words needed no embellishment–as scrawly as they came out.
I love her, right down to the moldy old flowers in her bustle.
And don't forget…the Veils this Night, They are a'thinnin'…
Beware. Beware. (Voice from the film Labyrinth here.)
Happy Hallow's Eve.
First, we have our Sisters In The Shadows update…
Tracy and Julie have been posting lots of juicy tidbits for you.
Evangeline even has something scheduled this week. (Tomorrow, in fact, if you care to go look…)
As for me, I did not investigate the "I'm Not Alice." theme in this year's Halloween fest–because the more I thought about it, and the more I tried to write–the more I started to outline, the more it wanted to become something more…so the I'm Not Alice project is this year's NaNoWriMo escapade for me.
But I have been showing up this year regardless of any planned theme…apparently, my Muse has a theme of her own…
Click here to check out my offerings so far this year…
And so long as we are doing the Halloween-y updatin' here…
We have a new freebie page called 'Halloween' on Beck Low Curiosities.
We have also been posting a random Halloween prompt every day up on our Beck Low Curiosities facebook page here, if you want to play along.
On October 1, Sisters In The Shadows opened its doors to our annual Halloween Scare-fest full of stories, poems, artwork and whatever else might shiver our timbers…all for free…just come over and visit.
Along those lines, my daughter, who is one of this year's participants, asked me for ideas to come up with for the artwork she wants to share on Sisters.
Off the top of my head, I threw her out an idea: Spiders…
The spider piece she is working on is really great, but finishing can be an issue with her…and deadlines are her anathema, way worse than they are for me.
However, the next day, she asked for another prompt…so I gave it to her…Owl.
Every day since the first, I have given her a prompt to work with…and you can find these prompts every day on our facebook page here.
I will post completed works — by Evangeline and by myself — as we complete them. Do we finish one piece a day? Uhm, not so far.
I will pull together a little something with all the prompts, just a list, for you to download. This weekend was one of those whirlwind weekends where I never quite felt as if my feet were touching the ground we were moving so much and so fast. Which means–I have a lot of catching up to do today.
I'll get there–just hang on. 🙂
Here's the pdf, if you are interested.
Come on over to the Sisters In The Shadows blog...every day in October you will see some spooky yummy goodness in the form of story telling, art, poetry…and who knows what else.
Do keep in mind, you can sign up to receive every post via email if you choose on that blog.
We do post other articles, tales, artwork, and a plethora of other things throughout the year.
Come over and join us.

Between the contrast in relief, temperatures and surfaces, the drivers and their teams will face a real test of their adaptability and will have to re-assess their performance on a daily basis. Above all, the route will become gradually more demanding, incrementally leading them to the second part of the rally: the most demanding special sections are scheduled in this part, while the distance which has already been covered will take its toll on both drivers and their machines. Welcome to the world of extreme endurance.
Program of the 2016 Dakar:
31/12 and 01/01: Administrative and technical checks
02/01: Start podium in Buenos Aires / Prologue / Liaison to Bivouac "0" close to Rosario

My name is Alice. I'm a thirty-something former scientist currently staying at home with my two children. But I'm not your typical stay-at-home mom. I would much rather talk about time travel paradoxes than dress my kids in cute outfits or cook anything.
INTP is my Myers-Briggs personality type, and it stands for Introverted, iNtuitive, Thinking, Perceiving. If you know about Myers-Briggs types and are familiar with INTPs, then you already know more about me than the vast majority of people I've ever known. INTPs make up about 1-3% of the population and are the rarest type among women. I am rational, analytical, nonconformist, detached, quiet, independent, imaginative, socially awkward, and hard to define.
I'm married to an INTJ and we have a 6-year-old daughter, AJ, and a 3-year-old son, Buddy. We've moved around the country frequently and currently live in Alaska, which is home to us. I started this blog in 2013 as a place where I could share my thoughts about anything and everything, viewed through the lens of being an INTP and being a mom. It's kind of an unusual combination.
Some of my interests are science, history, classical arts, and being in the wilderness. In my hypothetical free time, I like to discuss theories with my husband, read, hike, kayak, visit museums, see classical concerts, and learn new things that have no practical applications.
I've written two previous blogs. Leaving Eden, which I wrote in 2007-2008, followed my experience of becoming an atheist during my senior year at a Christian college. Peaceful Atheist, which I wrote mostly during 2008-2010, was where I chronicled my life after college, moving to Alaska, and developing my voice and identity as an atheist and as an INTP.
