Leadlab needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 210 designs submitted by 71 freelance designers.
Income Investing
We are a direct response marketing agency launching an innovative and exciting targeted web sales / lead generation strategy for an investment fund.
Campaign Concept:
There's a wide audience of investors that are strongly focussed on Income from their investing. In the investment world, just as some investors juxtapose Shares vs Property, so too balance Growth vs Income outcomes in their investing. This campaign is directed at those investors (new or current) who's focus is Income Investing at this point in time.
Till now, popular Income Investing seems to focus mainly on high return cash accounts or term deposits, positively geared property, or on shares that typically pay high dividend returns (ie Tattersals). This Campaign is most likely targeting those people who already have a) a blue chip portfolio b) shares with high dividend yields or c) those in high return cash accounts or 2nd mortgage products. We would likely not be targeting those interested in bonds as they're suited to a slighly more sophisticated market and are somewhat cyclical in nature.
Key Message:
To explain and promote investment in the fund as a superior way to earn solid monthly cash flow returns – better than fixed income, better than bank, better than positively geared property, better than share dividends – and with less risk in some case.
35-65yr old Ma & Pa investors in an accumulation phase or transitioning to retirement phase, possibly with self managed retirement fund of $150k or more.
We require a unique and innovative logo design relevant to the campaign concept and target market.
The logo must use the following text:
"Income Investing"
What we expect
* Simple, attractive and contemporary design
* Clear and easy to read
* Colours used should be related to the concept
* Suitable for the online environment
* Needs to be transferrable across different mediums
* Logo to create a sense of confidence and legitimacy
* Please do not use any clip art or stock images in the logo

Our goal is to be a one-stop source for all kinds of activities, to give our members the most options to stay in shape.
For this ad we are targeting females from the age 19-35, specifically attractive, club going women. Getting girls into a gym isn't easy. They need to feel it is a cool place that fits into their exciting lifestyle. It also needs to be a place where there are other females doing the same thing.
The promotion is the following:
Ladies, first three months are free. Don't pay until May.
$29.95 per month
Pay no start-up, no activation fee, no card fee, no fit-test. Nothing.
There will be a price breakdown section where they can decrease cost by joining together:
2 Girlfriends sign-up for 25.95/mth each
3 Girlfriends sign-up for 24.95/mth each
4 Girlfriends sign-up for 23.95/mth each
w 11.43 cm
h 27.97 cm
The door hanger is two sided. The front focusing on the image of the club and getting the attention of the target. The back will have more info about the gym and price breakdown.
Cardio Theatre
Ladies Only Area
Yoga Class
Pilates Class
Personal Training
Free Daycare
Steam Room
Private Showers
24/7 Access
& much more
The focus being mostly on attractive- in shape women, it would be good to include a photo of a man somewhere with a special side promotion for them:
GENTLEMEN, you know you want to make the switch to Planet Workout. Take advantage of our offer too! First 3 months free. No payments until May.
THE LOOK: I'm going for a very sheek, sexy, cool, dark look but very simple and clean. Again, we are trying to convince the target that this club will fit into their lifestyle of dance clubs.
Please use the 24/7 stamp attatched and the logo attatched. Feel free to alter some of the formating of the Planet Workout logo (ie. bevel and contour, colour) while maintaining the same font and logo.
Please give me lots of questions and feedback as this is my first time posting and some things may be unclear. Thank you!

fastcars necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 37 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
Need .PSDs Only...not coded project! We are looking to redesign our homepage and inner page template for AutoInsuranceQuotes.com. The idea is to build a CSS/XHTML (SEO friendly) design that also looks very good aesthetically and takes into account our goals (enter your zip code to start the process).
We are looking for a homepage and inner page template for the new AutoInsuranceQuotes.com. A logo refresh is also a plus.
The main goal of the site is to allow for users to easily enter their zip code and then be provided with auto insurance companies that service their area. The zip code box should be very prominent on the homepage and inner pages. We will also be adding a lot of unique content. Sites we like in the industry are:
http://www.carinsurancerates.com - not the greatest design but it really takes your eye to the zip code box and retains the "Start" on all inner pages (we would actually want a zip code box instead of "start" on our inner pages.
http://www.insurancequotes.com - the homepage is nice but the inner pages are too similar to the homepage.
http://www.carinsurance.com - good use of calls to action and shows content well. Not the best design in the world
http://www.carinsurancequotes.com - homepage is nice but inner page lacks the prominent zip code in the header.
- The homepage must have nice consumer friendly colors and images (people and/or people and autos) along with a prominent zip code box like in the sites above.
- The main image on the homepage should say "Free Auto Insurance Quotes" with a "Enter Your Zip Code" button and then the text field followed by a "Go" button
- The navigation can use these defaults for now: Home, Learning Center, Auto Insurance Articles, Search by State (use a utility bar for sitemap, links, about us, and contact us)
- The nav items should also be in the footer
- The content areas should have a H1 header test to describe the content
- Design for text as opposed to graphics for anything that involves words
- The same exact site we have now or identical site to the examples I put up there :)

Grooming Michael Clark Duncan stands out among many memories from back when I was a Hollywood makeup artist. I remember the size of his head. I had never used that much makeup to cover someone's dome before. His big, friendly, split-tooth smile could flash at any moment and I couldn't help but grin back. He loved watching cartoons and was a devout mama's boy. He adored his mother. These are things I know about Michael.
But what I don't know is why a man of such strength and stature is gone because his heart gave out on Sept. 3, at the tender age of 54. And yes, I said tender — I'm sure you got the memo: 54 is the new 44, and it's much too young to cash it in.
It gives me pause and prompts me to rededicate myself to my job. My job, in a nutshell, is to continually remind you that your body is capable of so much more than you may realize — that recovery, healing and rebuilding are what you do best, and they happen without you even thinking about it. Yes, that's a precious machine you're driving. How cool is it that blood courses through your veins at about 2.4 ounces per heartbeat, or about 1,900 gallons per day? You'll sit, run, dance, whatever. All the while, right there in the center of your chest, beat after beat, steadily cruising along with the flow of your life, is an ethereal center of love, and a powerful muscle as well.
Your heat is at the center of you, so if there's stress in your life, your heart perceives that stress. And since heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S. and Western world, accounting for about one of every three deaths, we are all touched by its ravages. I was touched — more like smacked in the face — by it last December when Juan, my young gardener, had a heart attack in my front yard. More about it here: www.gotoloa.com/heart-disease-juan.
MSNBC.com reports that more than 2,200 Americans die of cardiovascular disease every day. That's about one death every 39 seconds. It's time to know more about ourselves and how we really function. We've heard the strategy: Exercise, don't smoke, lower your cholesterol, yadda-yadda. If we've been paying attention at all, we're on that already, and yet still heart disease prevails. So let's step to the side and see something more.
We are each responsible for the stress we perceive, and we each deal with stress from our own unique perspective. Example: Two separate people, stuck in traffic, late for an appointment. One may be sweating, crazed and cursing while the other is enjoying a song on the radio. Both are in the same situation but with completely different reactions. How our body reacts is our personal responsibility. To achieve the status of "enjoying the music while running late" requires practice. It starts with setting aside a few minutes each day to release thoughts, listen to your breath and let go of tension in the neck and shoulders (or wherever you hold tension). These are the tools of meditation.
Wise people are feeling the importance of meditation and adding its practice to their day. There are so many styles and different types of meditation. What I like my students to know is that it's a practice that's very personally your own. There is no absolute right or wrong way to meditate. It takes focus and a little courage to be alone with yourself while you embrace the quiet and the unknown. If you're prone to racing thoughts, it can be a real challenge. But it is so worth it.
Meditation belongs on the list as part of our strategy. Along with what we do, it's how we feel on a deep level that matters. Meditation helps to manage our heart rate, our disposition and our overall state of being. It's part of the plan to live long and well.
Rest in peace Michael, Juan and all others who have gone too soon.

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 to 2 teaspoons cayenne or chili powder, depending on preferred spiciness
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 package dark chocolate morsels
6 slices of bacon, cooked and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons of beer
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cayenne or chili powder.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium to beat butter and two sugars for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat to combine.
4. With mixer on low, add the beer and then add the flour mixture and beat until combined.
5. Fold in dark chocolate morsels.
6. Drop half tablespoon-size dough onto ungreased cookie sheet, leaving about 2 to 3 inches between each.
7. Sprinkle tops with bacon pieces.
8. Bake on center rack of oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Recipe makes 50 to 60 cookies.
LONGMONT -- At age 4, when she learned to bake alongside her grandmother, Lauren Wiersma wasn't allowed to deviate from the traditional chocolate chip recipe.
"I always wanted to add things, and she never let me," said Wiersma, 29, who moved to Longmont nearly a year ago from Birmingham, Ala.
As an adult, Wiersma concocted her own twist on the classic cookie. Her recipe includes dark chocolate morsels, cayenne or chili powder, a sprinkling of bacon and a splash of beer.
Yes, a cookie with beer and bacon.
When you think about it, it makes sense. The chocolate is sweet, the cayenne has a kick of spice and the bacon adds a salty, savory quality.
The beer gives the cookies texture. The small bit of alcohol bakes out, so picking a brew is a matter of taste. Wiersma is partial to Left Hand Brewing Co.'s Milk Stout, which has lactose and sugars that make it sweeter than most stouts. (Full disclosure: Wiersma works at Left Hand as a packaging technician and acting shift lead and coordinates Ales for Females, an educational beer and food tasting program for women). She also has tried it with Left Hand's Black Jack Porter and Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout.
And with the Milk Stout, the lactose balances the cayenne powder's kick, like the quenching effect of downing a glass of milk after a spicy dish.
Wiersma's cookies are a huge crowd-pleaser. Whenever she leaves a batch in Left Hand's break room, they're gobbled up in hours, and after she made them for a recent Ales for Females meeting, several ladies requested the recipe.
One person who might not have been so easily swayed was Lauren's grandmother, Anne Wiersma, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who died when Lauren was in high school.
So what might granny have thought of the cookie?
"Oh gosh, I don't know," Lauren Wiersma said with a smile. "I'm sure she would shake her head at me and just laugh. She'd probably think I was crazy."

John Maine threw in the bullpen today Washington without difficulty, but there's no word on when he'll return. Or even if he'll return. It's clear, that for the time he missed, it is doubtful he'll be able to return as a starter who could go long into a game during the playoffs.
I know he wants to pitch, but I'd be inclined to shut him down and forget the bullpen. He's too important to risk further injury and it's doubtful he can reasonably be expected to give the Mets anything substantial out of the bullpen.
And, with surgery a possibility, why take the chance?

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Jered Weaver earned his 100th victory, Chris Iannetta had a two-run single and scored on a wild pitch during a crazy eight-run rally in the fourth inning, and the Los Angeles Angels moved up in the AL playoff race with an 11-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night.
Erick Aybar had three hits and scored two runs for the Angels (81-67), who moved within 3½ games of wild card-leading Oakland with their 15th win in 20 games after the Athletics (84-63) lost at Detroit. Los Angeles also kept pressure on Baltimore, which sits in second place in the AL wild-card standings.
Weaver (18-4) gave up third-inning homers to Mike Napoli and Ian Kinsler during seven innings of six-hit ball, but got a huge cushion from his teammates to ease into a tie with Tampa Bay's David Price for the AL victories lead.

There isn't really much you can say about Madeira cake. There are only five ingredients – it's simple and plain yet it's perfection in cake form. The buttery soft sponge is both satisfying and easy to eat; no need for forks or spoons or cream accompaniments. If contentment were a cake it would be a Madeira. Who am I kidding??? Of course contentment is a cake....it might well be this actual one:
Traditionally Madeira cake is flavoured with lemon. This is a vanilla version but you could easily substitute the vanilla with the same volume of lemon juice and some finely grated zest.
The cake isn't named after the Madeira islands but rather the wine that was served with it. See? This site is educational; it's not all about lusting at cake. (Official stats just in: site is 0.5% educational, 99.5% lusting at cake)
One interesting serving suggestion is to submerge stale Madeira cake in piping hot custard. The only problem I foresee is that I can't ever imagine having any stale Madeira cake; believe me, this is not a cake that hangs around for long!
Look at the luscious crusty sugar topping:
180g unsalted butter, at room temperature
175g caster sugar plus an additional 2 tablespoons for sprinkling on top
3 eggs
165g self raising flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan oven 140°C/315°F/Gas mark 2-3.
- Line a 20cm springform tin with baking paper.
- Start by beating together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs gradually, adding a little of the flour if the mix looks like it's curdling.
- Beat in the vanilla.
- Fold in the flour.
- Spoon into the prepared tin and level the surface.
- Sprinkle the additional caster sugar over the top.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Mine took 55 minutes.
- Leave to cool for 20 minutes in the tin before turning out and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

So, you ask, what are those dry-rub ribs doing at the top of a post here at GetReligion? If you need to ask that, then you don't know anything about the unique city that is Memphis, Tenn.
Brothers and sisters, if ribs are not a religion in Memphis, then Memphis does not have a religion (cue: church organ trills). It's like talking about barbecue sauces and the doctrines they imply in East Tennessee. I'm in Nashville at the moment, in central Tennessee, and there are even people here who claim that they know a thing or two about barbecue. Heresy.
My former editor at the Scripps Howard News Service -- a man who loved Memphis with a passion -- used to say that you either hear the music in Memphis or you don't. There's no way to explain that city to outsiders and that includes its powerful religious traditions and communities.
Well, the fine scribe David Waters of the The Commercial Appeal was one of the only people who ever had much success explaining the faith of Memphis to readers outside of West Tennessee. But then Waters came to Washington, D.C., to run the "On Faith" website project at the Washington Post. He was a strong voice in favor of working more news content into that mix and I, for one, wish that he had been free to spend more time writing during his time inside the Beltway.
Now Waters has turned around and headed back home. I thought GetReligion readers would appreciate a chance to read some of his comments on why he did that, thoughts offered as he begins a new religion-news project that sounds rather interesting.
Basically, Waters hears the music. Smelling the ribs doesn't hurt either. Here's the opening:
On one of my first mornings back in Memphis, I was standing in line to buy coffee when two women behind me starting praying. People in Washington, D.C., pray, too, but not out loud, with eyes closed, hands raised to heaven, in front of God and everyone at Panera.
It's good to be home.
I left The Commercial Appeal in 2007 to take a dream job at The Washington Post. It was an exciting place and time to be a journalist. I loved nearly every minute of it. My wife and I met wonderful people. We had unforgettable experiences. We never stopped being homesick.
As you can tell, this is going to be a love song. As Waters noted, "Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco. We left our souls in Memphis."
But what is he going to do now? That's the question, especially if one cares about the kinds of WWW-friendly projects that could take serious religion-news writing into whatever business model comes next.
The key, of course, is Memphis.
I used to write a column for The Commercial Appeal called Faith Matters. It was a fine name, but I always thought it was a bit too generic. At the Post, I edited and wrote for a section called On Faith, which is even more generic.
Starting today, I'm going with the hometown brand.
Faith in Memphis is the name of my new weekly column, which you can find on the cover of today's M section. It also will be the name of a website we plan to launch soon.
Not everyone in Memphis has faith. And, as Forbes magazine reminded us earlier this year, not everyone has faith in Memphis. But plenty of people do. This community is filled with people who show their faith in Memphis every day by what they choose to do, where they choose to live, what they choose to believe, and who they choose to be.
It will be interesting to see how this new hyper-local project turns out, with its combination of news, analysis and human-interest features. I'll keep watching (readers can help) to see when the online page gets up and running. Meanwhile, here's another recent Waters column.


text: Outlook: The Risks of Trying to Outguess the Markets January 30, 2012 07:12 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bob Utterback Farm Journal Columnist Email The predominant academic belief is that all sectors of the agricultural industry will efficiently allocate supply and demand for the long term. The theory suggests that, once all information is known, the price will reach equilibrium. Essentially, no profit or loss will exist at this point. As producers, we know that operating at break-even in a competitive economy will eventually lead to the poorhouse. Break-even exists in the pure economic model, but it seems that in the real world the odds are much higher that producers will spend more time below break-even than above. That is why I believe agriculture cannot make exceptional profits for any length of time before supply increases and demand is rationed. The problem with the efficient market theory is that it cannot explain price bubbles that last for an extended time period (for example, 2008 to 2011). Sometimes, the theories of Adam Smith (generally known as the father of economics), which suggest that a rational decision maker will always put his money where it can make the most return, do break down. The storm clouds will come. This gives rise to new lines of economic thought that suggest there are periods when those acting in their own (economic) self-interest eventually make irrational decisions, leading to a disequilibrium in the markets. Examples include the housing bubble, where banks had money (from China) to loan and the government was pressuring home ownership. As a result, home values increased. At its peak, everyone thought home values could not go down and that anyone not buying into the housing boom was a fool. As we all know, it was hard to see the storm clouds developing during the bubble; but after the bubble burst, it was pretty obvious. Corn, soybean and wheat values, and now cattle and hogs, have been in an exceptional profit bubble since 2008. Except for 2009, we have seen three of the highest profit years in history for corn and soybean producers. This is now leading to an increase in land costs, cash rents, equipment costs and just about every item associated with the producing crops. What are the dangers ahead? I believe debt or leverage is one of the basic building blocks of a bubble. When too many people with too much money are chasing the bull, the market tends to overreach. After the crest, it is a big scramble to see who can reach the exit first. We could possibly see a repeat of the 1968 to 1980 price range. Lest we forget, a period of excess profit eventually leads to the 1980s, when costs were too high to the revenue side and producers came under tremendous financial pressure. China isn't the answer. The bulls will argue that today everything is different and it can never happen again. We have ethanol and China on the demand side for corn and soybeans, and supply simply cannot keep up. Granted, the demand growth during the past 10 years has no historical comparison. I will also agree that China, while it wants to increase its hog production to feed its people, does not want to become dependent on U.S. corn like we are addicted to Mideast oil for our energy. As end users, the Chinese got a strong dose of what high priced corn, soybeans and wheat taste like, and they didn't like it. Already they are making strong steps to diversify their feed source. I see two efforts. Chinese government officials are desperately trying to keep domestic prices high in order to encourage domestic producers to implement better production methods to increase yields. Since their corn and soybean output is way behind that of the U.S., they know they have room for much improvement. They are also increasing their involvement to help improve wheat production in the Black Sea region and parts of the old Russian Empire near their border. This is simply good economics; it gives them feed diversification and it puts hard currency in the pockets of their neighbors so they can consume more of the products the Chinese manufacture. Yes, because of China and other countries demand will remain strong, but the exceptionally strong growth rate of the past 10 years will be difficult to match. Any slowdown in the global economic system could result in a negative imbalance in the global supply and demand situation. I believe that, with two exceptionally profitable years behind us, producers are in good shape to increase corn and soybean acres this year. While stocks should be exceptionally tight into summer, the complete opposite pattern could be seen in the last half of the year, having a dramatic impact on carrying charges, spreads and storage decisions. Numbers can lie. Because of a strong belief that the corn and soybean markets operate in an efficient manner, the pursuit of fundamental analysis has prevailed for most analysts and producers. That's why so many farmers try to predict planted acres, yields and weather. This is why big companies and end users spend millions on data collection to get that edge before the public. Producers trading strictly fundamentally often act on a perceived outcome. Essentially, they believe that by participating in the market they can influence future predictability and random events. Then there are those who study past chart patterns under specific situations for a living. The problem with technical analysis is that it's not an absolute science. Two people can look at the same chart and one sees the glass half full while the other sees it half empty. It all comes down to each individual's viewpoint of the market. In other words, it is not reality that is important; it is the perception of reality. Sell and defend. This leads me directly to why I attempt to get producers to accept the strategy of selling and defending rather than trading and guessing. If they figure their basic production cost and come up with a target selling price, they know what they want/need from the market. Once the market exceeds profit levels, they can start implementing a selling program depending on their ability to handle cash flow, time commitment and fundamental and technical biases. Once the selling decision is made, it's best to have a back door if the market starts to exhibit irrational behavior. This is why I believe a put strategy of limited risk is more sound than the all-or-nothing approach of being net short cash or futures that many attempt to implement and fail to carry out when things get tough.

text: Postharvest Grain Protection Vitally Important October 3, 2012 11:27 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email By Tracy Turner, Ohio State University With drought-damaged grain yields expected to be poor this year, growers need to take extra care to ensure that every bushel they're able to harvest is protected against mold, pests and other problems, says an Ohio State University Extension educator. Drought and extreme heat have reduced topsoil moisture and lowered crop yield expectations, making it even more important for growers to make post-harvest grain protection a priority, said Curtis Young, who is also an assistant professor in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at Ohio State. "You don't have money in the bank until you sell the grain," Young said. "The protection of the grain doesn't stop with harvest, so if you are storing the grain on your farm, you need to take care of it. "That extra care for grain storage is especially intensified this year because yields are going to be sub-optimal, so growers need to protect every penny that they can." The fact is, Young says, grain this year is more valuable than it has been in past years. "And with limited yields expected this year, what grains growers are able to harvest will be their income for the year, so it is imperative for them to protect that grain." For example, growers who typically produced 180 bushels of corn per acre and sold the crop at $3.30 per bushel would generate $594 per acre in gross income. "So with the higher prices corn is fetching this year, say $8.25 per bushel, growers who want to generate that same income would need to produce a minimum of 72 bushels per acre to break even," Young said. "But unfortunately, there are fields out there that may not generate even 72 bushels per acre this year. "And while the higher price of grain will offset the lack of yield, that won't be the case for every field." To protect grain quality and economic value, growers need to clean, inspect and repair all harvest and handling equipment and storage facilities prior to the beginning of the harvest season. And with harvest coming sooner this year as a result of the heat and dry conditions, growers should start with sanitizing every piece of equipment used for harvesting, transporting and handling grain, Young said. "Much of the preparation of the grain storage facility has to do with sanitation, basically cleaning up from previous years to make sure there isn't any contaminated grain anywhere in the facility that could contaminate the new grain coming in," he said. "Even small amounts of moldy or insect-infested grain left in equipment can contaminate a bin of new grain." Since grain is usually in contact with grain bins for the greatest length of time, extra attention should be paid to the sanitation of these structures, Young said. Growers can remove any grain or grain dust from inside the bins by sweeping or vacuuming empty bins and brushing down walls. Other tips growers should be aware of include: * Growers should remove any vegetation including weeds and shrubs growing against the outside of the bin as grain pests such as insects and rodents can harbor in the vegetation. * Once storage structures have been thoroughly cleaned, growers should inspect them for signs of deterioration, especially for leaks and holes through which insects, birds or rodents can gain easy access to the stored grain, or where rain and snow can drip or blow in onto the grain to produce wet spots that can lead to mold. * Once all cleaning and repairs have been completed, an empty-bin application of an appropriately labeled insecticide is advisable, especially in bins with difficult to clean areas and in bins with a history of insect problems. Growers should also make sure that new grain is never stored on top of grain from a previous season, Young said. "Remove any old grain and clean the bins before adding new grain," he said. "Any grain from a previous season will have sat in the bin over summer, which is a key time for insects to infest that grain in the bin. "Putting the new grain on top of old grain that has been there for that period is taking a terrible gamble that the grain is infested and could infest the new grain."

It's possible to use Flex in Flash you know.. Although it runs on a different layer so you'd need to plan for it. Have a read here for an example:
You just need the Flex SDK which is free, here:

Oh I never knew that. That looks very interesting. Thanks
3. Re: CS6 scroll listsinious Apr 27, 2012 8:40 AM (in response to Robot Joe XZY)
I'm not saying it's easy but do pay attention to them mentioning that Flex will operate at a different layer above the flash display list. So it will cover anything below.
4. Re: CS6 scroll listRobot Joe XZY Apr 27, 2012 9:49 AM (in response to sinious)
Ok, thanks for the info. I'll look into it if I can find the time. Otherwise I'll just stick with Flash Builder for now. The reason I wanted to try the scrolling lists in Flash Professional is because I have a feeling that those apps run faster on mobile devices then apps made with Flash Builder. I'm not sure I'm right but that's the feeling I got from experimenting.
5. Re: CS6 scroll listsinious Apr 27, 2012 10:22 AM (in response to Robot Joe XZY)
Woooaaaaahhhhhh....... Not at all. Not even close. Flash Builder uses Spark components which are optimized as much as possible. Flash is using mx which isn't at all. I realize CS6 may include some spark but there is absolutely no difference between them even if it does.
Please use Flash Builder. They didn't even upgrade the version in CS6. It does a great job and you'll get optimal performance with mobile best practices. Each AIR SDK update the spark components will probably get faster and faster (hopefully one day utilizing a "Stage3D mode").
6. Re: CS6 scroll listRobot Joe XZY Apr 27, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to sinious)
Oh=) I'm a bit new to Flash and Flex so thanks for clearing that up=) I've read about the spark and the mx components but I wasn't aware that Flash was using the mx version. That's actually great news because the more I use Flash Builder the more I like it. I was hoping for a version 5 in the new CS6 update but I guess we'll just have to wait for that one.

Adobe! Please! what is missing to update the list of components in Flash Professional??
Every community would love to have mobile components in Flash Professional!

Lollipop Chainsaw Cosplayer Jessica Nigri Is Too Sexy For PAX East
Over the weekend, up-and-coming cosplay model Jessica Nigri was asked to leave the show floor at PAX East and was ordered to change out of her pink Lollipop Chainsaw outfit, which you can see below. She then re-surfaced wearing her regular Juliet Starling costume but was once again asked to change.
If you're not familiar with Jessica, she's 21 and has been cosplaying since San Diego Comic Con 2009. She's into gaming, reading comic books, watching anime, reading manga, and is a self-described "exercise nut".
We thought we'd rub it in PAX East's face with a gallery of her hottest pics from Facebook and Twitter. PAX East wanted her to a sweater, but there's no containing those puppies.

Re: Visual block and indentation
Good day
I have a little bit of a trickier enhancement / compatibility request...
If you have a block of text and you visual block select on a part of the text at a point not at the beginning of the line, eg, in the text below, visual block selecting the "ll"'s in "hello":
hello world
hello world
hello world
and then indent (or outdent), using ">" (or "<" respectively), then vim will indent / outdent the text to the right of the start of the selection block, resulting in (with the above text and the case of an indent):
he llo world
he llo world
he llo world
Outdenting after selecting the "ll" column again will close the gap, but, of course, not allow further outdenting past that since to do so would result in the "ll" column overwriting something to the left of it.
I would REALLY appreciate the inclusion of this compatibility feature because it's really useful to use block select to do something like convert:
double mdblMinY;
double mdblMaxY;
double mdblLatestY;
double mdblTotalY;
double mdblAverageY;
double mdblDataMinY;
double mdblDataMaxY;
double mdblDataLatestY;
double mdblDataTotalY;
double mdblDataAverageY;
by first indenting from after the "mdbl" parts and then using visual block select and 's' to replace the blank column with "Data". I don't know if there's a better way to do this in vim -- this is just the way that I'm used to doing it and it's not an uncommon thing for me to do with my text.

March 3, 2006
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. _ Three wins in three days. Three wins and get your ticket punched for the "Big Dance". Three wins to really let everyone know what playing NCAA Division I basketball is all about.
The No.1-seeded Lipscomb Bisons basketball team opened the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament faced with that challenge. Friday night they defeated the No. 4-seeded Gardner-Webb Bulldogs 70-51 in the semifinals at Memorial Center to move into Saturday's championship game at 1 p.m. CST. The Bisons will play Belmont. The winner advances to the NCAA Tournament.
The game will be televised on ESPN2. It is the first time the Bisons have appeared on ESPN2 this season and the eighth time they have been on television this season.
"This game is important for me for our guys because of the focus they have had," said Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. "To have 18, 19 and 20 year olds keep focus from September when we were trying to lay the foundation and telling them what it would mean to our university isn't easy.
"In making this transition for the past seven years there has been a lot of hard work. My assistant coaches have done a great job of preparation. As bad as I wanted to win this game and as bad as I want to win Saturday I can live with what happens. I know the energy and the effort has gone into preparation and effort everyday."
In tournament games often unexpected players step forward to have their best games of the season. Such has been the case for the Bisons who used a season-high 13 points from point guard Trey Williams and 11 points from sophomore guard LaKory Daniels to spark the offense, especially in the first half. The Bisons also got 13 points from Brian Fisk, who tied William s for the team scoring lead. Sophomore forward Eddie Ard added 10 points with eight of them coming in the second half.
"Every single time we had played Gardner-Webb they wouldn't guard me," said Williams. "They would wait in the gaps on Eddie or Brian or James Poindexter to make the big play. As soon as they took their eyes off of me I started breaking to the basket."
Ard and senior center Shaun Durant tied for the rebound lead with eight apiece.
The play from reserves like Daniels, forward Cameron Robinson and guard Michael Lusk have been crucial to the success of the Bisons especially when facing the grind of three games in three days under tournament pressure.
"We're playing about nine guys now," said. "I told them not to rest on the floor, but rest them on the side. We rushed them in and out to keep our players fresh. We wanted to force the action. We thought we had a deeper bench than they did. I thought we got some cheap baskets in transition."
For the Bisons the victory was a chance to avenge a 71-66 loss at Gardner-Webb, a team they led by 22 points with less than 18 minutes left in the game.
Defense has been the key for the Bisons all season. Gardner-Webb's 51 points tied their season low set Jan. 15 against Florida Atlantic in a 72-51 loss. The Bisons held Gardner-Webb to 58 points in a 70-58 win at Allen Arena Jan 2.
For the game the Bisons shot 42.6 percent from the field. Gardner-Webb shot 32.2 percent.
"We were trying to turn up the heat defensively and try to make them work to catch the ball," said Sanderson. "We weren't going to win that game in the first half. They had come back and beat us after we led by 20 at the half a couple of weeks ago. We had to keep running and keep pushing. After awhile their shots were hitting the front of the rim.
"I was proud of our defensive effort. When you hold a team to 32 percent from the floor you are going to win some games."
Also important for the Bisons was their ability to take care of the ball. They made only seven turnovers compared to 14 by Gardner-Webb.
"We had nine against Mercer in the first round which gives us 16 in two tournament games," said Sanderson. "Sometimes when you are subbing a lot you don't get as a good a rhythm offensively, but to our guys' credit that is the best we have played offensively as far as being unselfish, moving the basketball and making the extra pass. That is what I am excited about."
The Bisons took a 4-2 lead on a 3-pointer by Daniels at 16:07 and led the rest of the game. Even though Ard did not make a field goal in the first half and Fisk and Ard had only seven points between them, the Bisons still managed to lead 35-24 at intermission.
In the second half the Bisons continued to control the game offensively and defensively. Gardner-Webb trimmed the Bisons lead to single digits one time, pulling to within nine points at 50-41 on a lay-up by Simon Conn.
The Bisons twice led by 19 points in the second half, including the final margin of victory.
"Every game is a like a championship game for us so Saturday will be no different than any other game for us," said Fisk. "Defending and rebounding are the two keys he puts on the board. If we come out and defend and rebound we should be in good shape."
The Bisons are 21-9 on the season, They opened the tournament with a 78-62 win over Mercer Thursday in the quarterfinals.

The East Central University baseball team split a double-header with Arkansas-Monticello at Tiger Field in Great American Conference action.
The Tigers (8-23, 2-15 GAC) were paced by sophomore Eric Swann and junior Kyle Watase. Both hit .429 for the day, with three hits and two RBIs. Swann added a run and Watase scored twice.
Junior Levi Keeton earned the win on the mound in game one after pitching a full inning and allowing zero hits and runs. Senior Gabriel Martinez picked up the save after pitching the final inning of the game, allowing one hit and striking out three batters.
ECU will remain at home to face Bacone College, Tuesday, April 2 at 3 p.m. The Tigers will then return to GAC action next weekend (April 5-6) when they travel to Southern Arkansas.
Game 1 – ECU 10, UAM 9
The Boll Weevils (21-14, 11-10 GAC) opened the scoring in the top of the first, taking a 0-1 lead. UAM increased the advantage to 0-4 after a run in the fourth and two runs in the fifth.
However, the Tigers made their first come-back in the bottom of the fifth, tying the game at four. Senior Benny Woodard started the rally with a single to left center. Senior Justin Gibson reached on an error that put runners on first and third and then stole second. Both runners advanced, with Woodard scoring when the Boll Weevils pitcher threw a wild pitch.
Senior Paul Guardado was walked and when he stole second it allowed Gibson to steal home for the second run of the innings. Junior Kyle Watase sent the next runner home with a double to center field. Watase was then sent home for the final run of the inning when junior Josh Lavender doubled.
UAM quickly rebuilt a 6-9 lead, scoring three runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh inning.
ECU then started the second, and final, come-back in the seventh inning, scoring four runs for the second time in the game. Senior Mac Grace got things rolling with a double to right field and was joined on base by senior Justin Sutherland, who was walked. Lavender moved both runners into scoring position with a ground out to short. The first run of the inning scored when senior Andrew Olson reached on an error.
Swann added two more runs with a double down the left field line and Woodard sent one more home with a double to left field for the 8-9 score.
The Tigers then took the lead with a two-run eighth inning. Guardado singled to left field and Grace reached on an error. Both runners advanced on a pass ball. Junior Ethan Gold earned the two RBIs with a single to right field for the 10-9 lead.
In the top of the ninth, Martinez came in relief, struck out the first two batters, allowed a single and then struck out the final batter to end the game.
Game 2 – UAM 5, ECU 2
The Tigers kept the momentum that they had built at the end of game one going into game two, scoring the first two runs of the game in the bottom of the first inning.
Junior Jake Caton started the game with a walk and was advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Guardado. Watase earned the first RBI with a double to left center and Lavender earned the second with a single up the middle for the 2-0 lead.
The advantage was short lived though, as the Boll Weevils scored three runs in the top of the second to take a 3-2 lead.
UAM added two more runs in the fifth to build the lead to 2-5.
The Tigers got one last chance to score in the seventh after holding the Boll Weevils scoreless in the sixth. UAM had the bases loaded with one out, but ECU turned a double-play to keep them from scoring and then Martinez struck out the final batter. The Tigers also ended the seventh inning with a double-play.
Swann started the inning with a double to left center, but the next three batters were all put out to end the game with the 2-5 score.

Watch Dogs Delay was Done for More Ideas and Polish
We have found out that Watch Dog's delay was done so that many of the ideas introduced later on in the development process would not simply have to be withheld to its sequel.
Speaking with CVG, a senior official at Ubisoft Montreal has come forth saying that the studio would have had to cut several gameplay systems from Watch Dogs if it hit its original launch window of November 2013. At the recent Game Developers Conference last week in California, Lionel Raynaud, Ubisoft's Vice President of Creative, stated that the Watch Dogs team originally intended to axe certain systems from Watch Dog's original launch and to only include them on its sequel.
"There were several systems that were not going to be in the game if we released in November," Raynaud said. "There's always the discussion of, 'should we leave them for the sequel, or do we take the time to finish them?' And we decided to take our time and do it right. It's made a big difference - we've polished everything." Raynaud has also stated that the delay has given Ubisoft enough time to include the big ideas they wanted to utilize in Watch Dogs but were fearing that they were too late to introduce into the development process. These concepts were originally going to be withheld and introduced in its inevitable sequel.
Watch Dogs will hack its way onto PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on May 27. The Wii U version of Watch Dogs will be coming at a later date.

He's easily the most important Met. How far they go this season is dependant on Johan Santana's elbow, his shoulder, and his knee – every part of him.
October will be yet another empty month if Santana is injured and misses a substantial part of the season.
The appearance is the Mets aren't on the same page on a timetable when a day after pitching coach Dan Warthen's itinerary had Santana missing Opening Day the two-time Cy Young winner said he thought differently.
Santana threw 46 pain-free bullpen pitches Wednesday and the tenor has changed. Santana, manager Jerry Manuel said, isn't a like everybody else, telling reporters in Port St. Lucie: "You have templates that you like to follow, and everybody don't fit those templates. That's why he is who he is.''
I don't think anybody doubts Santana's competitiveness. All you have to do is think back to his last start of the season on a bum knee that required surgery.
This guy throws with his guts as much as he does his arm, and part of me can't help but wonder if the Mets are doing with Santana what they did with Pedro Martinez, which is let him call the shots.
If they thought he needed a MRI a week ago, then why not go through with it and be sure?


text: I was talking with BG32 about this earlier this evening and it got me thinking. This kid showed some nice flashes of potential this year in the limited snaps that he got. He's got the talent, just needs to develop it, and I'd like to see him take over for David Johnson next season as the primary backup and hopefully get more looks from Ben. It's still early but he could be the next big thing if he keeps improving.

In "Killing Them Softly," Aussie director Andrew Dominik — who made the much praised 2007 Western "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" — takes on yet another classic American genre, the mob film. Based on George V. Higgins's 1974 novel "Cogan's Trade," the action has been transferred to 2008, around the time of the Obama/McCain bout. The movie was mostly shot in New Orleans, apparently masquerading as Boston (unless New Orleans is also near a town called Somerville and is populated entirely by people with northeastern accents).
Quentin Tarantino and Elmore Leonard are the obvious influences here; as in most of their stories, "Killing Them Softly" has no clear-cut protagonist. At first we spend time with very small-time hood Frankie (Scoot McNeary) and his Australian idiot buddy Russell (Ben Mendelsohn), who are convinced by older crook Johnnie (Vincent Curatola) to knock over a mob-protected card game run by sweet guy Markie (Ray Liotta).
Frankie and Russell have just enough functioning brain cells to recognize this as a Very Bad Idea until Johnnie explains its brilliance: The game had already been hit a few years earlier; later, Markie admitted that he set up the heist himself. But time had passed, and everybody likes Markie, so nothing was done. Still, if the game gets robbed again, Markie will be the obvious suspect.
Johnny's right, and higher-ups start leaning on poor Markie, as well as looking for the two dopes. (If you really hate Ray Liotta, the scene where he gets beaten should satisfy your loathing; for the rest of us, it's just way too protracted and brutal.) They bring in Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt, finally showing up 25 minutes into the film), a coldbloodedly efficient hit man; and Jackie in turn brings in some out-of-town help, in the person of Mickey (James Gandolfini), who turns out to be not quite as reliable as in the old days.
From this point on, the film sticks mostly with Jackie, with some necessary excursions elsewhere — necessary not just for plot reasons, but because there's nothing about Jackie that we can warm to (except, of course, that he's Brad Pitt). He's all business to such an extent that we never see anything of his personal life or learn much about his thinking. We get glimpses of his political worldview, which eventually represent the film's own attitudes.
He is so emotionally contained that the movie threatens to dry up until Gandolfini arrives and provides a jolt of humanity. It may not be good humanity, but it certainly engages us in a way that has otherwise been missing. Mickey seems to love and hate life; Jackie just lives it. Mickey may be on a downhill slide, but Gandolfini brings a bluster and vulnerability that makes him easier to relate to. (He also behaves as misogynistically as one would expect in this thuggish community. In fact, the only female speaking role in the whole film is a hooker he insults.)
Jackie is the least sympathetic character Pitt has played since his early role in "Kalifornia" — which may explain why opening weekend audiences gave "Kissing Them Softly" the lowest possible Cinemascore, even as Rotten Tomatoes shows critical approval at 76%. It's a terrific — or, at least, near terrific — film, whose political subtext is strong, if often heavy-handed.
In some ways, "Killing Them Softly" is similar to Martin McDonagh's "Seven Psychopaths" — in addition to tone and setting, both, strangely enough, feature dognappers — but with way less humor. In fact, Dominik may have come up with the bleakest film since last year's "Melancholia." It's still entertaining — fun even — but bleak fun.

George Murdock
Character actor often played the 'heavy'
George Murdock, 81, a veteran character actor who had a recurring role as Lt. Scanlon on the television sitcom "Barney Miller" and played God in the 1989 film "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier," died Monday at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, said his close friend and fellow actor Jennifer Rhodes. He had cancer.
Murdock's craggy facial features and booming bass voice helped him land a steady stream of "heavy" parts in theater, film and television productions. When asked if he ever objected to being typecast, the actor told a Times reporter in 1982: "Getting the job is important. Who cares where it comes from."
A Kansas native, Murdock was an original cast member at the Melrose Theatre in Los Angeles, starring in "Lester Sims Retires Tomorrow" there and during its off-Broadway run in the early 1980s. He appeared in many productions at South Coast Repertory, the Los Angeles Theater Center and the Odyssey Theatre, where he originated the role of Judge Julius Hoffman in "The Chicago Conspiracy Trial" in 1979.
Murdock had dozens of roles on episodic TV series, beginning in the early 1960s with "Twilight Zone" and "The Untouchables" and continuing through the decades with "It Takes a Thief," "Bonanza," "The Name of the Game," "Ironside," "Battlestar Galactica," "Night Court," "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "The X-Files," "Law & Order" and other shows. Besides his "Barney Miller" part, he was also a regular on the mid-1980s show "What a Country!"
In the fifth installment of the "Star Trek" movie series, Murdock's character strikes down Kirk with a lightning bolt when the captain asks: "What does God need with a starship?"
Charles 'Skip' Pitts
Guitarist helped create 'Theme From Shaft'
Charles "Skip" Pitts, 65, a longtime Memphis guitar player who helped create the distinctive sound of Isaac Hayes' "Theme From Shaft," died Tuesday in Memphis after battling cancer, according to Tim Sampson, communication director for the Stax Museum of American Soul Music.
Pitts was responsible for the unforgettable wah-wah pedal guitar sound on Hayes' "Theme From Shaft" for the 1971 blaxploitation film that remains a memorable moment in American popular culture. Pitts' riff was angry and bristling with menace, capturing a dangerous vibe that transcended the screen and translated to the streets of a tense nation.
He was also responsible for the guitar line from the Isley Brothers' "It's Your Thing."
Pitts grew up in Washington, D.C., and had a long, historic run in Memphis after moving there to join Hayes. He played with the deep-voiced soul singer for nearly four decades, worked as a session musician for Stax Records, where some of America's most notable music was made; and logged time with many significant soul and blues acts, including Al Green, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Rufus Thomas and Albert King.
Late in his career, he made appearances in such movies as "Black Snake Moan," to which he also contributed three soundtrack entries, and "Soul Men" and performed on the score for "Hustle and Flow."
Most recently he appeared on Green's "I Can't Stop" and Cyndi Lauper's "Memphis Blues." He also released an album last year with his band, the Bo-Keys.

Jetpilot's S.D. Chino Hybrid Boardshort
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 1, 2010
S.D., CA: Continuing their tradition of innovation, Jetpilot releases another new concept in boardshort design for Spring 10, called "The S.D. Chino". It is a style within the company's new category they are calling "Hybrid Boardshorts", which are a blend between walkshorts and technical boardshorts. The S.D. Chino retails for $49 and is positioned as a new spin on the industry's traditional basic boardshort design.
Overall, the style of the boardshort is a clean, five pocket design, complete with belt loops, zip-fly and adjustable snap closure but the key feature is in the construction material. The S.D. Chino features Jetpilot's new ultralight, quick-dry, textured nylon called "JetLite" which is 45% lighter than a traditional poly boardshort and more than 2X lighter than a traditional walkshort. The result is a modern day basic boardshort that is built to perform, both in and out of the water.
Tested and approved by Jetpilot's team of athletes, The S.D. Chino is inspired by the Action Sports lifestyle as a whole, instead of one specific "sport". Jetpilot La Jolla, CA athlete, Nico Becerra helped on development and said: "Pretty much, anyone who wants a basic boardshort but doesn't want to look like their Dad would take one look at The S.D. Chino and realize how wearable and functional it is anywhere you go. The style is clean but also has some attitude and is tech at the same time. We love how they turned out."
Jetpilot Vice President, Brian Jellig said: "We had a diverse group of athletes and retailers chiming in on the development of the S.D. Chino. Key retailers and our team are happy with the initial roll out so far. Really great to see how the style came through, it's fresh and they go great with a '63 Cadillac."

About this font family
Introducing Megatropolis: intellectual, architectural, urban and urbane. What started as an idea where the counters would be letters (3 scribbled glyphs on a piece of scrap paper), has grown into a mighty font family of eight stackable fonts.
First came Megatropolis itself, a Deco font within a Deco font; Double Deco, you might say. In Illustrator, you can deconstruct it to make solid letters, outline letters or just the inset letters on their own, and you can stack them how you wish. Or you can get the whole Megatropolis family with Black, Outline, Inset, Smog, Shade and Shade with Inset and keep them all separate stackable, editable fonts. In addition, there's Megatropolis Benday (available in TT only), with its fabulous stackable comic dots. More…

All upper schools in the network and the Amigos School share the same school start and end times: 8:55AM. to 2:55PM. This shared school day support CPS and its partners in providing rich out-of-school-time programming to middle grades youth in Cambridge.
Cambridge upper schools are designed to preserve the close relationships our students, staff, and families value. Cambridge upper schools are much smaller than traditional middle schools in other communities, which often range in size from 400-1000 students. Cambridge upper school campuses will serve approximately 260 students. These campuses provide the closeness and community we value, while providing the critical mass of students and teachers we need to offer rich programming. In addition, these campuses better prepare our students for their transition to CRLS, a high school serving approximately 1600 students.
The Cambridge School Committee approved the Innovation Agenda by a vote of 6 to 1 on March 15, 2011. A community-wide implementation planning process began at that time continued throughout 2011-12.

Get your seedlings off to a perfect start with this Agritape propagation kit which includes the Agritape heating mat and a protective ground screen. We believe that Agritape is one of the best brands out there for bottom heating as they are known for their high quality design, durability and affordability. Each kit comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
This heating mat includes a ground screen which is designed to safely ground the mat in the event of damage.

You will also need a 20 or 13 Amp control to use with this product (sold seperately). The mat heats up when it is electrified with standard house current (110 volts AC) and will generate a surface temperature approximately 85-95 degrees.
Installation instructions:
- Roll out the Agritape and plug it into the control unit (thermostat).
- Cover the Heat Mat with the ground screen.
- Connect the ground wire from the control unit to the screen.
- Plug in the control unit and place the bulb thermostat in the soil of the seed tray or container.
- Set the dial to the desired soil temperature.
Note: Insulation board may be installed under the heat mat to improve thermal efficiency. (Optional)

In Naropa University's community art studio, The Jackson Five's cheerful "ABC" flows from a CD player, and it quickly becomes obvious who chose the background tunes for the morning session.
Doodled on Tina Chase's manila portfolio folders are the names of two of her favorite singers, Janet and Michael Jackson.
The 44-year-old with Down syndrome has a catalogue of pop-culture knowledge. She can rattle off the dates of concerts she's been to and the birth dates of celebrities, and when she brings up her mom in conversation, she immediately notes that her favorite band is Earth, Wind and Fire.
"Music is in my heart," Chase says, patting her chest with her palm. "That's why it's in my art."
In this community art studio, students from Naropa, Boulder's Buddhist-inspired university, act as mentors in what educators hope gives them the foundation to develop as socially engaged artists.
"In our training program for art therapists, we look at the many roles we can play as art therapists," said Kate Schettler-Goodman, lead mentor and internship coordinator at Naropa. "This is about selfless service. It's exploring another way that we can work, not therapeutically, but in a mentorship way."
The studio on Naropa's Nalanda campus, near 63rd Street and Arapahoe Avenue, has opened its doors over the years to groups such as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth and people rehabilitating from strokes or head injuries.
On Wednesday mornings, Naropa art therapy students share the community studio with Chase and nine other adults from Imagine, a nonprofit agency that works with clients in Boulder and Broomfield counties who have developmental and cognitive disabilities, including autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome.
Imagine offers a day-service program -- "CORE," which stands for Community, Opportunity, Relationship and Education -- that is a creative hub for the adult clients, offering classes and community outings.
Leading up to Halloween, the guest artists in the studio are swapping their ideas for costumes. When they show up Wednesday for their next session, they'll be costumed as Scooby-Doo, a monster, a cheerleader, Garth Brooks -- and one just may be in her favorite "Bad Tour" concert T-shirt with a mask that she made in the studio.
Art therapy as a field
In 2001, Michael Franklin, a Naropa professor, opened the school's community art studio as a way to share the university with Boulder residents and also give students more complete training that involves service.
"We want people to come to us so they can have the experience of being in a lively, well-stocked studio," he said.
Since the doors opened, more than 150 Naropa students have served as mentors. The studio hosts, on average, 40 visitors a week.
At Naropa, students in the graduate art therapy program receive a degree in counseling, with an emphasis in art therapy, and they receive thorough clinical training, Franklin said. The program also gives them a business point of view so they can eventually open their own studios, he said.
"What I hope for is for them to cultivate multiple professional identities," he said.
Included in that is the role of a socially engaged artist with civic and social responsibilities, he said.
Last May, for example, art therapy students embarked on a service-learning trip to Cambodia, where they worked with a group that provides shelter to victims of sex trafficking.
Art therapy emerged as a field in the 1940s.
In the early 20th century, psychiatrists became interested in the artwork created by their patients with mental illnesses, according to the American Art Therapy Association. Around the same time, educators were finding that children's art reflected developmental, emotional and cognitive growth. By the middle of the century, rehabilitation centers, hospitals and clinics began adding art therapy into their programs and recognizing that art could enhance recovery and wellness, according to the association.
Graduates of Naropa's art therapy program are working in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, retirement centers, hospice care, prisons and in private practices.
"The arts aren't a luxury," Franklin said. "They're a necessity."
Spirit of sharing
Across the community art studio, Naropa students mentor the guests from Imagine, lending a steady hand to guide scissors over masquerade cut-outs, giving tips for how to smoothly glaze pottery and praising their creativity.
Yvonne Wang giggles as she spooks people with a pinecone she's masked as a vampire. Eva Gomez is brushing a black glaze over her pottery and says she's so excited to see what it looks like when it comes out of the kiln that she "just might faint."
Tammy Rugg is immersed in a more somber project, brushing a lilac-colored finish over the clay ribbons she's made in memoriam of Jessica Ridgeway, the 10-year-old Westminster girl who was abducted and killed earlier this month.
"I made these for Jessica," Rugg says. "I kept praying for her when she went missing. And when I found out what happened, I cried and cried and cried."
At the end of the studio sessions, the guests share their artwork with one another and talk about their creative process.
During the next session, on Halloween, the spirit of sharing will continue as the artists from Imagine put on a talent show.
Chase isn't afraid of the spotlight. She has many talents, including her vast knowledge of music, and she's also a swimmer in the Special Olympics.
She has her talent show routine picked out: performing Michael Jackson's "Beat It," and if there's time, dancing to "Daydream Believer."
"You're going to sing and dance? You're so brave," art therapy student Whitney Haney tells Chase.
Chase is proudly beaming.
Tucked in her art portfolio is a self-portrait done in pencil. "Hollywood" is sketched across the T-shirt she's wearing.

The Host
Giant monster threatens Seoul! Enjoy!
What with all the torture-porn taking over American cineplexes (Saw, Hostel, Wolf Creek, Turistas, The Passion of the Christ), I'd almost forgotten what it's like to have fun while watching a horror movie. Thankfully, the South Korean movie industry is either so far behind the trend or so far ahead of the curve that it's managed to deliver The Host, a funny, scary, emotional, thrilling and occasionally bloody monster movie. You heard me right: This is a good, old-fashioned, B-grade monster movie--the kind with an honest-to-god monster in it, as opposed to a dirty psycho with a pair of wirecutters.

Drop Dead Funny--Have you ever thought to yourself, "What this here TV show needs is more zombies!" Lord knows I have. It would certainly spice things up on Wisteria Lane for "Desperate Housewives" and might actually cut down on all the whining over at "Grey's Anatomy." CBS apparently agrees with us and has just cast former "Picket Fences" star Kathy Baker for one of the lead roles in the network's new comedy/drama "Babylon Fields." The show focuses on the trials and tribulations of a small town dealing with a persistent outbreak of the living dead. According to industry trade publications, Baker and Amber Tamblyn ("Joan of Arcadia") will play a mother and daughter who have to deal with the abusive husband/father they recently dispatched with an ax.

|Outside of Las Cruces, NM, an agent interrogates a Vietnamese exchange student about his immigration status. The bus was filled to capacity with about 55 riders. I was only one of about 5 white persons aboard.
Since the early days of the G.W. Bush administration Border Patrol agents have been boarding buses and creeping around stations trying to detain and deport undocumented immigrants. The Obama administration actually seems to have stepped up these activities with more aggressive methods.
On a recent trip from Louisiana to California my bus was stopped and searched twice by teams of Border Patrol agents.
|After ordering passengers off Border Patrol agents used a canine unit to search the bus. One of the officers demanded I erase these pictures immediately after snapping this one, claiming that it was illegal to document their activities.
The second stop came in Blythe, CA, where agents detained three young Latinos who boarded the bus in Las Cruces. The three young men had taken seats at the back and were trying to remain inconspicuous, but one of the agents homed in on them using racial profiling tactics. When the three Spanish speakers couldn't provide proof of US citizenship one agent called to the others toward the front of the bus, "we've got three more of them here!" They were taken away in the night, hands binded, placed in the back of a converted cabbed pickup truck to be transported to a holding facility awaiting deportation.
|Thanks Google Car
|Thanks Google Car
1. Is it constitutional for federal agents to demand proof of our citizenship, immigration status, and identifying documents if we're not crossing a border? Do these activities not constitute an illegal search and seizure?
2. Why has Obama seemingly escalated Border Patrol activities targeting immigrants on domestic public transport like Greyhound, Amtrak, and other carriers?
3. I've noticed that passengers on the Greyhound buses, at least in the Southern and Southwestern US, are 90% people of color, whereas in airports whites constitute a much higher percentage of passengers. If Border Patrol claims to not racially profile in order to police travelers' immigration status, should not Border Patrol also be in airports, boarding airplanes and lurking about terminals?
4. How would you respond to seeing fellow human beings dragged off the bus in the night to be incarcerated in some corporate immigrant prison and finally deported? I ask because I'm seriously at a loss to express my outrage and opposition to this state sponsored xenophobia.

Justin Bieber Performs 'Baby' + 'One Time' With Little Sister Jazmyn
Justin Bieber filmed his Christmas special for MuchMusic yesterday, Dec. 21, taking the stage in Canada for the taping of 'Home for the Holidays.' During the show, the Biebs melted fans' hearts by bringing his little sister Jazmyn onto the stage for an adorable duet.
Justin and 4-year-old Jazmyn, who goes by Jazzy, took the stage together at Massey Hall in Toronto, Canada to sing 'Baby' together. In the past, Bieber has said that Jazzy likes to sing along to her big brother's songs, and seeing the 17-year-old singing with his cute little sis still has us letting out a seemingly endless "awwwww."
Jazzy was getting a little shy during some of the duet, but luckily she had her superstar older brother watching her back. Bieber seems like a wonder with kids, as he guided Jazzy through 'Baby' and held her in his arms. She looked adorable in her pink sweatsuit, while Justin rocked a red checkered flannel, gray skull cap and jeans. Despite their 13 year age gap, the siblings definitely look alike, from the color of their hair to their heartwarming smiles.
After they sang 'Baby,' Bieber partook in some onstage banter with his sister. He asked Jazzy if she had a boyfriend yet, and also asked her about her new haircut. Bieber then told the audience, "She shaved my brother Jaxon's head! He's like 2 and he looks just like a big baby." He later told Jazzy that her new short hairdo looked beautiful, rendering every female fan in the house helpless to his endearing charm. Later, the siblings sang 'One Time' together before Jazzy gave her big brother a hug and left the stage.
As if Justin Bieber wasn't lovable enough, this duet with his sister just made him that much more endearing. We hope Jaxon will join his big brother for a duet in the near future! Imagine all three of them onstage together singing? Our heads might explode from cuteness overload.

You can see, hear, feel, and sometimes even smell, the history throughout Massachusetts. Check out the very rock where the Pilgrims landed, and visit Plimoth Plantation to see what life was like in the 1600's, before cell phones and reality TV. Walk the Freedom Trail in downtown Boston, where every step tells a story of the American Revolution. Hear the famous "shot heard round the world" on Lexington Green, where the first shots of the Revolutionary War were fired. Get goose bumps sitting where giants in the abolitionist movement sat in the brilliantly restored African American Meeting House. Feel the hull of Old Ironsides, otherwise known as the USS Constitution. What did the 1830's smell like? Apparently awesome, according to the bread they're baking and the candles they're dipping over at Old Sturbridge Village, one of the country's oldest and largest living history museums.

In 2010, the first year the club delivered turkeys to the needy, they gathered 30 holiday baskets from surrounding grocery stores and in the second year they increased their donation to 50 meals.
This year, the club doubled its efforts with a total of 100 dinners for the underserved in Queens.
"We do everything but cook and serve," said Kiwanis president Al Gentile. "This is a very rewarding experience for me personally, and if we can help people have a nicer Thanksgiving then that's what it's all about."
At the end of the day, dozens of Thanksgiving dinners were delivered to soup kitchens in Far Rockaway, the Notre Dame Academy in Ridgewood, Saints Joachim and Anne School in Queens Village, and St. Margaret's Catholic School in Middle Village, as well as to a number of individual families.
"This is all we do," Gentile said. "We try and fundraise as much as we can throughout the course of the year and as soon as the fundraiser is over, the board is already planning on where to donate any of the proceeds."
J.P. DiTroia, the New York District Kiwanis membership chair and member of the Middle Village club, joined Gentile again this year to help deliver the turkey baskets.
DiTroia noted the importance of recruiting more volunteers to help with future events, and said the reward is simply something that money cannot buy.
"We get paid from the smiles that we get seeing the children when we do these things and the accolades from people," he said "I'll tell you, it's a wonderful, wonderful feeling."
