That Gree TV ad would've been ideal and therefore more appealing (and that was what I had in mind when the first announcement came), but for some reason the production committee figured that they want the character designs to be unique, to stand out (seems they really don't want a generic cookie-cutter design), to create a stark contrast between the characters and the dark/grim environment, and possibly as an attempt to attract a different demographic (especially non-fans), and so they hired Ebata for the job.
(Judging from the AKB documentary, their fans now also include children, which means I'm sure some of those kids are willing to stay up late just to watch.)
As for the "love letter" bit, I said it because regular fans would readily recognize everything that's presented in the show, but would require some non-fans to first learn a big deal of information before watching.

The way she encouraged gay and lesbians who came to meet AKB was really amazing...;__;
Oh that's true. I heard Mayuyu is like a cyborg in the anime?
non fans would be like wtf this so random because they don't know Mayuyu nickname is Cyborg Girl...so...yeah...XD
But it might encourage them to look up AKB and maybe become a fan so that's probably one of the intention..unless they look at Baby 3x or HR and get the wrong impression of them...

Interesting, this anime adaption of a live adaption of a long-running hentai manga, unfortunately the derivatives have to skip the graphic elements
Anyway, in the anime there were so many things done wrong, that ended up being fun to watch

Shinning Musume by Shiwasu no Okina, started in 2001 and is still running
AKB48 uses the same group structures and promotion practices (minus the demons and rituals) since 2005
This anime has the futuristic version of the above two.
... and by the way there is a doujinshi some of the live groups' members, but needs a strong stomach to flip even the first couple of pages
Anyway, I thought the inspiration for the live group, as well as its producer's and fangirls' aspirations and fears about the future were on-topic

Hello! Project and AKB48 probably have plenty of similarities being in the same industry but given that they are competitors, and especially given that Morning Musume has somewhat faded out of relevance whereas AKB48 is the current really big thing you would do well not to assume any further connections between them.

Chill out, I was half-joking, now that you mentioned Morning Musume, it rings a bell. By the way, sorry, if the joke wasn't obvious, yet made me wonder, are there more producers that bundle their idols into one group and follow that generation/subgroup model

Hmm... that is my usual cynical tone. I wasn't offended, just clarified the point. And nowadays virtually every single idol group (being from Tsunku like Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, C-ute, S/mileage, etc, Akimoto with AKB48, No3b, French Kiss, Watarirouka Hashiritai, etc, and others like Stardust's Momoiro Clover, Platinum Passport's Passpo, Avex's SUPERGIRLS, Amuse's Sakura Gakuin, etc) work with generations, trainees and graduations. However, newer groups haven't been long enough to have started subunits, but they would do as they become more popular, since it is a good way to start spreading the reach of the groups.

It's only among the girl groups in Japan and like 48 (SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, NMB48, Nogizaka46, and probably JKT48 from Jakarta and the new SHN48, in Shanghai and Taipei48 =__=') and the Hello!Project ones (Morning Musume, Berryz, Momoiro Clover, S/mileage, C-ute). Beside the 48, the other girl groups are all irrelevant so I don't know much about them but the graduation/generation model has always been use for girls groups.
The boy groups don't change their line up.

Argh! Momoiro Clover isn't a Hello Project group >.< It is from Stardust, and its awesomeness beats anything coming from Tsunku and Akimoto :V
Johnny & Associates just has a huge pool of wannabe hopefuls, creates groups out of them within their Johnny Jr brand, train them, and once debuted, they are promoted as a standalone group. There aren't "promotions" or "generations" per se, but there are graduations.

um...no..nothing is more awesome than queen Eguchi Aimi ok~
I thought Momoclo is from H!P :O
IDK..they got that H!P vibe lol
Honestly the only idol group in Japan I get into is the 48. everyone else just feel meh~ But then again my first PV from AKB was Beginner so I was pretty impressed :P
When do JE graduate their idols? I know douchebag Jin and Pi leave but I never heard them do things like graduation. I though it's more like leaving or changing line up than actual graduation ceremony like the girl groups have.

Graduation is a synonymous for leaving, and not every graduation in the female idol world gets a graduation concert or things like that (although it is usually the way companies are able to get extra money by charging people for the idol's departure). When I said graduations exist, it means that individual members can leave the group without the group dissolving (as might happen sometimes when an important member of a group leaves). The media announces such departures as graduations too, even though there aren't ceremonies, it is just the term used in the idol world.

True.......well when I think of graduation, I'm use to the ceremony they usually have but yeah any line up change is basically a "graduation" of some kind, they just don't call it that.
I WANT THE OP! It sound so cool~~ But hopefully Mayuyu isn't going to be the next one going to the hospital with Warota7 release and this anime song promotion at the same time.....
and when does the TV rating come out?
I would like to know how the general public is receiving this anime. At least 3% is a success considering the time slot. Considering otakus hate AKB (judging from the "die" comments I seen on some Japanese vids), I'm hoping the AKB hardcore fanbase and their casual fans will help out the rating.
Oh I also heard alot of people are requesting for AKB49 to be animated instead..so cross my finger for that one too.

Of late, there's no 0048 fanart yet, but instead a small number of Majisuka Gakuen (a live-action delinquent-gangster-girl AKB production) artwork.
(Offtopic) OBTW, Momoiro Clover Z and AKB48 are in the same record company: King Records. Which means...

Greg Green necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 59 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Fine Arts and Eats
I am a previous restaurant owner who learned quickly that there is not much support for you unless you network - so I did. We have some tremendous local performing arts groups that reached out to me during my restaurant days, and vice versa.
Having made many local connections with other restaurateurs, I saw an opportunity to help them as well as local performing arts groups and other local businesses. The business model I am developing initially works to design a dining card for their mutual customer base – the key word being LOCAL.
I am a huge supporter of the local community and a large percentage of the card sales will go to support the local arts community. Purchasers of this card will receive specific offers for local businesses and restaurants (special price fixed dinners on show night???), local businesses connect better with their customer base, and everyone wins.
The purpose of this card is to build relations and strengthen community ties.
Once the relationships have been established, I intend to further develop the concept into an events business (utilizing the same groups and businesses) and possibly into a restaurant supportive business.
The target audience of this card will be those who best support the local economy and community. Specifially local Non Profit performing arts groups, local business owners, and local restaurants.
My target audience is a three way:
- Fundraising for local Non Profit Performing Arts Groups
- Assisting local businesses in retaining customer base and introducing potential new customers
- Connecting patrons of the Performing Arts with local businesses.
Your design will be seen all over my city from the programs given at the performances, to ads placed in print and potentially on TV, to possibly the menus at the restaurants themselves.
I'm looking for a logo that is colorful and fun, classy but whimsical. It needs to connect two main elements: fine dining and performing arts.
I am looking for these elements:
1. Straightforward – nothing too abstract. The person seeing it needs to automatically link the arts with fine dining.
2. Animated designs or cartoonish designs are OK but only if classy. I do like whimsy however, just not childlike.
3. I do want to convey class, but want it friendly – not too standoffish.
4. Typeface should be clear, simple and bold. I want something that is sharp and stands out.
5. It should be professional.
6. It will appear against a warm hued color in the red/orange range and will possibly be used against a white background.
I don't want:
1. Animals
2. Overly complicated designs
3. Doctored graphics – blurred, fuzzy, gradient, shadowed, etc.
4. Stock images or clip art
The logo will be used on:
1. Initially a dining club card.
2. On business cards, brochures, print ads.
3. All over my website when developed.
4. Banners and Parade floats
Feel free to experiment with colors, but I prefer warm and classy deep reds and burgundies, perhaps with offsetting blues or greens integrated.
I need the logo in the following format:
- Scalable
- Print file format - .ai (CMYK), .eps
- Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

A man who was shot by a Baltimore Police officer on Friday morning in West Baltimore was at the time fighting with a man who had just robbed him at gunpoint, police said Monday.
Both have been criminally charged for their roles in the incident.
Police said Friday that officers were handling a domestic violence call around 7 a.m. when they heard gunshots nearby and rushed to the scene to find two men struggling in the street, at the intersection of North Fremont Avenue and West Fayette Street.
One of them was holding two guns, and cash littered the ground. The man holding the guns refused to drop the weapon, and was shot by an officer, police said.
According to charging documents provided by police, Alexander Brown, 24, had been robbed at gunpoint by Xavian Chriscoe, 36, and an unknown accomplice, who told him to hand over cash his belongings "or you gonna catch all six of these," referring to bullets.
Brown handed over his property — $90 cash, an ID, and a bank card — and the two men fled, police said. Brown then pulled a .38 caliber revolver from his pants leg and fired four shots at Chriscoe and the other man as he gave chase.
Brown wrestled away Chriscoe's .32 caliber revolver and the two began to struggle over the weapons. Officers heard shots — police say Chriscoe had a graze wound to the side of his head — and saw Brown standing over Chriscoe, holding a gun to his head.
Police say Officer Valentine Nagovich, 41, an 11-year veteran, fired multiple shots, striking Brown in the left forearm.
Brown was taken into custody, but told the officers that Chriscoe had robbed him. Both were detained, and officers found Brown's driver's license in Chriscoe's possession. Police said video of the incident captured from a camera showed what appeared to be Chriscoe and the second, unknown person robbing Brown.
Brown, of the 4500 block of Shamrock Ave., is charged with first-degree assault and multiple handgun charges for firing at Chriscoe after being robbed. Chriscoe, meanwhile, of the 1700 block of Bloomingdale Ave., was armed robbery, assault, and handgun charges.
Both men are being held without bond, and attorneys were not listed in court records.
Charging documents do not say whether Brown was prohibited from carrying a weapon or if it was legally registered; he has prior charges of attempted murder and assault and handgun charges, though both cases were dropped by prosecutors.
Chriscoe was acquitted after a trial on charges of first-degree murder in 2010. He had been arrested in Inglewood, Calif. for the April 27, 2009 murder of Shawn Williams, 18, who was found shot in the head in a vacant lot in Carrollton Ridge.
On Friday, Deputy Commissioner Jerry Rodriguez lauded the efforts of the officers who captured the man later identified as Brown, whom Rodriguez said had "no regard for the law."
"This is, yet again, additional efforts by the commissioner in our ability to deploy our officers in the right positions," Rodriguez said.

We had to get off at Foggy Bottom the other day at 7:30 a.m., and it was extremely backed up to get out of the station. If there had been any kind of emergency, things would have gotten ugly really fast. Perhaps Foggy should be added to the list of Metro bottlenecks.
From Ashley:
I am one of the dwindling few that can say they are lifetime residents of the DC Metro area. Taking the Metro has always been a part of life for me. I can clearly recall thinking how cool it was being able to bounce from the movies, to the mall, to Georgetown before I was old enough to drive.
As a result, I also became one of the jaded masses that doesn't blink an eye at Metro's "parade of ridiculata." I just assume that escalators will be broken, the staff will be rude, tourists will stand in the way and the trains may or may not be on time.
However, I was patently shocked yesterday evening to find a line curving half way down the block just to get into the Foggy Bottom station.
I ran through my checklist of DC events that might be causing the delay. Let's see … the Cherry Blossom Festival is over, spring break (for the most part) has ended, it's too early for summer vacation and there aren't any DC sporting events tonight. Nope, this was just a rush hour logjam created by a broken down escalator.
I've been commuting to the Foggy Bottom station for about a year, and while the lines are usually heavy, I have NEVER seen it stretch down the block. In fact, I haven't seen the likes of this Sponge Bob-esque silliness at any other station (outside of a major event).
True to my jaded status, I wasn't irked by the inconvenience or the surly mood created by my fellow passengers. Rather, I was annoyed at how unbelievably avoidable this situation was. Not only was this line causing preventable delays, it had to be a fire hazard as well.
So, while I was standing in line, I decided to turn lemons into lemonade and snapped a few pictures in an effort to show WMATA the error of its ways.
But, after thinking about it on my ride home, I decided to look for another outlet for my frustration. Like many "Unsuck DC Metro" readers, I have also received a form letter from Metro expressing what I would describe as a blanket lack of concern about keeping me (or anybody else, for that matter) as a customer. Needless to say, I was very excited to stumble on this blog. Hope you enjoy the pictures, and have a swell commute.

21804. (a) The driver of any vehicle about to enter or cross a highway from any public or private property, or from an alley, shall yield the right-of-way to all traffic, as defined in Section 620, approaching on the highway close enough to constitute an immediate hazard, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to that traffic until he or she can proceed with reasonable safety.
There are two separate witnesses to the incident and they both get the motorist's license plate. One by writing it down and the other by chasing the motorist on a bicycle and photographing the license, the motorist, and the passenger.
The cyclist who pursued the motorist told the motorist to return to the scene of the incident, the motorist and her passenger vehemently deny responsibility, pointing out that they didn't hit the cyclist.
An LAPD patrol car cruises by, the cyclist yells for help, the LAPD continue on their way. Another LAPD patrol car cruises by, this one stops and gets the information, returning to the scene of the incident.
Ultimately, the motorist returns to the scene but the LAPD decide "no report, no crime."
This is where the real "incident" begins. The LAPD failed the injured cyclist.
1) The motorist violated the cyclist's right of way.
2) The violation of the cyclist's right of way caused the cyclist to take evasive action resulting in injury.
3) The motorist left the scene of an "incident" that was her responsibility.
"Hit & Run" is a bit of a misnomer. The actual violation (CVC 20001 "Duty to Stop at Scene of Accident") doesn't refer to contact but merely states responsibilities. Cause and responsibility get determined by investigation but the basic obligation is to stop, not flee.
I hate the term "Accident" and prefer the more neutral "Incident" but nevertheless, the term used is not collision. It does not require contact but merely refers to causality. The person causing an "Accident" is not free to simply leave the scene because there was no contact. They are required to stay and exchange information and/or render aid.
20001. (a) The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury to a person, other than himself or herself, or in the death of a person shall immediately stop the vehicle at the scene of the accident and shall fulfill the requirements of Sections 20003 and 20004.
So it was that the cyclists of Los Angeles spent another Sunday afternoon tweeting each other for advice and beseeching the LAPD to step up and to protect the cyclists on the streets of Los Angeles by enforcing the law. Of course, this requires the LAPD to know the law.
On Sunday, two LAPD officers on the street refused to act in support of the downed cyclist. The Watch Commander of the Northeast Division supported the position of the LAPD officers on the Street. He also called the Watch Commander of Central Traffic and was again supported in the "no report, no crime" position of the LAPD.
To make things worse, the two officers on the street informed the protesting witness "This really isn't any of your business." The witness insisted that it was his business. The LAPD responded "It's not a hit and run. We're not going to do a report."
At the first meeting of the Cyclists/LAPD Task Force, one of the recommendations presented to the LAPD was that they approach "cyclist down" scenes as potential crime scenes. Too often, cyclists on the losing end of an encounter with an inattentive or aggressive motorist are left with less than sympathetic investigators, such as the officers, the supervisors and the Watch Commanders who err in favor of the primacy of the motorist on the streets of Los Angeles.
That needs to change.
The Cyclists' Bill of Rights holds that:
3) Cyclists have the right to the full support of educated law enforcement.
4) Cyclists have the right to the full support of our judicial system and the right to expect that those who endanger, injure, or kill cyclists be dealt with to the full extent of the law.

Thoughts on War
Peter Southall was an enslaved man who ran away from his owner to fight for the British and win his freedom.
(Requires Quicktime, or other MP3 player)
"Lord, it's a long way to Norfolk, coming from Williamsburg. Peter be my name. Wish Master Southall could see me now. Betcha he ain't never think I was gonna run off again. Oh, yes, I done run off before. Run off down there to that North Carolina. Was down there for four years. Awful fine it was.
But look at me nowÉmaking my way to Norfolk. I gots to thank the Governor himself, he put this proclamation, declare marshal law, he did. Said any Negro, any of the minions, any of us, if they got themselves a rebel master, they run off join the British, they get their freedom, they will.
I gots to get my freedom. Freedom is too sweet. I reckon soon as I get to this here Norfolk, I'll get myself a musket. Gowan, he say one thing before I leave. He question me if I was willing to take a musket and fire at another one of God's creations. Something about that just don't settle right with me.
What do settle right is that I get my freedom. Not just freedom for myself, but freedom so I can go get my Sarah. Freedom for me and my family."

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that requiring producers to contribute to the beef checkoff program is not a violation of their right to free speech, thus removing a cloud that had threatened the future of "checkoff" funds for other agricultural products.
In a 6-3 vote, the court upheld the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985, overturning lower court decisions by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and the U.S. District Court for South Dakota, which ruled the law unconstitutional.
After the court accepted the beef checkoff case in May 2004, 113 state and national beef industry and general agriculture organizations, including the National Cotton Council and other commodity groups, signed a friend-of-the-court Amicus brief in support of the beef checkoff.
"This is certainly a win for the many producers who recognize the power of pooled resources," said Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns after the ruling was announced May 23. "As this administration has always contended, USDA regards such programs as effective tools for market enhancement."
The ruling means the beef checkoff program can continue without interruption. Johanns said USDA is reviewing the decision to determine its implications for other first amendment challenges to checkoff programs.
Officials with the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, which helped defend the beef checkoff program, noted that the checkoff has helped grow consumer demand more than 25 percent since 1998 and has increased the prices producers receive for cattle.
"We are elated," said Jim McAdams, an Adkins, Texas, cattleman and president of the NCBA. "Throughout the lengthy litigation process, we believed in the merits of our case and the merits of the beef checkoff."
National Farmers Union leaders, who supported the lawsuit brought by a group of South Dakota ranchers against the beef checkoff, said they were disappointed.
"The ruling is surprising because the court ruled the mandatory beef checkoff program is a U.S. government program and the Constitution's First Amendment free speech rights of producers funding the program do not apply," said NFU President David Frederickson. "This contradicts mandatory checkoff proponents' arguments that the program is run and controlled by the producers."
Frederickson said the Supreme Court ruling does nothing to address the problems surrounding mandatory producer-funded checkoff programs. "Issues such as accountability to producers who fund the programs, and access to open and fair referendums remain unresolved."
The majority of the nation's cattlemen have supported a checkoff assessment since 1922.
Independent research indicates that 73 percent of beef producers support the current $1-per-head beef checkoff program, according to the NCBA.
"It's clear that a majority of cattlemen and agricultural groups recognize that checkoff programs are good for local beef industries and economies," said Myron Williams, chairman of the Federation of State Beef Councils Division of NCBA. "Cattle-Fax estimates that the beef demand gain in just the past seven years has added about $250 per head to the value of fed cattle and $200 per head to the value of calves."
NCBA leaders said advertising tracking research indicates the checkoff is improving consumer attitudes about beef's nutritional value. And, the checkoff's organized and proactive public response to a single case of BSE diagnosed in the United States has been credited with maintaining the high level of consumer confidence in the safety of U.S. beef.
"State beef councils and their federation — a division of NCBA — are committed to protecting the brand equity built in the 'Beef. It's What's For Dinner' campaign," said Williams.

Ask any scientists what gets people all riled up within their field of expertise and you will get plenty of answers. Outsiders may think that these individuals, who are scientists and are supposed to be logical and even minded about things, have gone bonkers. Yet that is the way things are in many areas of scientific endeavor.
Take for example the hot button topic within the field of archaeology concerned with dating the arrival of the first human beings in the Americas. Some have argued that this interest, going back many generations, is, in fact part of a "Seventy year itch" within the field of archaeology.
So let's see what this is all about.

There are many fascinating aspects related to the peopling of the New World, some of which I intend to write about in future contributions, but one of these is undoubtedly the most contentious of all: when did people arrive? In an earlier blog (Beyond Clovis) I wrote about the "Clovis First" school of thought and those who accepted Pre-Clovis human presence in the Americas.
As outlined in this earlier blog, most of the evidence pointing to human presence pre-dating the so-called Clovis people pushes the boundaries back by perhaps one thousand years. While that is certainly nothing to sneeze at, what would you say to those who are proposing to push the arrival of humans in the Americas back to 40,000 years ago, almost 30,000 years earlier than Clovis? Now there is something to chew on.

Reports coming out of Central Mexico over the last few years have referred to fossilized footprints preserved in volcanic ash in that region. The research team that made the initial discovery in 2003 was led by Silvia Gonzalez who works at the John Moores University (JMU), in Liverpool. That year she was visiting a site at Cerro Toluquilla in the Valsequillo Basin, located near Puebla, about 100km southeast of Mexico City.
What caught people's attention was the date associated with these footprints: they were said to be 40,000 years old.
Such a notion of great antiquity has ensured great attendance at scientific meetings. If this early date is accepted, it will blow the "Clovis First" hypothesis clean out of the water. However, when these findings were first published, the dates were dismissed as improbable and wrong, going back instead to no less than 1.3 million years ago. Some even suggested that the footprints were not, in fact, footprints, but pure geological phenomena that just happened to look like a footprint. This is where things remained for a few years, at least to outsiders. I am sure that the researchers involved in the project remained intensely interested in the dates and whether or not we were looking at real human footprints or else just tricks Mother Nature had up her sleeve for us.
Researchers have now reaffirmed the originally suggested date of 40,000 years. This is the equivalent of throwing another big rock in the pond of Paleoindian archaeology. I am sure there will be pushback again and we will see where this ends up.
I have a feeling however, that these footprints could be a turning point in the field of Paleoindian studies. If the dates hold up, then scientists have a whole lot more questions to address. Such a development would also prove the way in which science moves: for every answer we find, ten new questions pop up.
Exciting stuff.

Since President Barack Obama signed the Agricultural Act of 2014 (popularly known as the farm bill) into law in early February, states and communities have been hard at work trying to figure out what it means at the micro level. The president's approval of the bipartisan bill, which affects national agricultural policy for five years, followed two years of wrangling over the bill's provisions, which the Congressional Budget Office predicts will cost $956.4 billion over the next decade. Throughout the past two years, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, joined by three major Catholic organizations, repeatedly sought to influence the bill's contents. In the end, the USCCB and the leaders of the other organizations lamented some cuts but expressed satisfaction with other parts of the 949-page law.
The previous farm bill — the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 — helped set agricultural spending priorities through 2012. As lawmakers began to debate a new farm bill, the USCCB outlined its concerns.
Joined by the leaders of Catholic Charities USA, Catholic Relief Services and the National Catholic Rural Life Conference (now called Catholic Rural Life), the chairmen of two USCCB committees urged members of Congress in March 2012 to "support a farm bill that provides for poor and hungry people both at home and abroad, offers effective support for those who grow our food, ensures fairness to family farmers and ranchers, and promotes stewardship of the land.
"We also urge that this farm bill target limited resources, such as subsidies and direct payments, to those farmers and ranchers who truly need assistance to be competitive and successful," they added. The Catholic leaders emphasized the importance of "access to adequate and nutritious food for those in need" and opposed "attempts to weaken or restructure these programs that would result in reduced benefits to hungry people."
In June 2012, the Senate approved a measure whose provisions would cost $969 billion over a decade, while the following month the House Agricultural Committee approved a $957 billion bill. The USCCB committee chairs expressed deep concern about the House committee's proposed $16.5 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), popularly known as food stamps. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 47.6 million Americans use the program, with an average monthly benefit of $133 per person.
"At this time of economic hardship and continued high unemployment, the committee should protect essential programs that serve poor and hungry people," Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton, Calif., then-chairman of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, and Bishop Richard Pates of Des Moines, Iowa, chairman of the USCCB Committee on International Justice and Peace, said in a 2012 letter. "To cut programs that feed hungry people in the midst of economic turmoil is unjustified and wrong.
"We remain concerned that conservation and rural development programs continue to receive significant cuts," they added, as they called for cuts to other line items. "Agriculture subsidies," they said, "should be reduced overall and crop insurance should be targeted to help small and medium sized farmers, especially minority owned farms, over larger industrial agriculture."
The full House of Representatives did not vote on the agriculture committee's bill. In December 2012, Congress agreed to a temporary extension of the 2008 farm bill.
As Congress resumed debate in 2013, Bishop Blaire, Bishop Pates and the leaders of Catholic Charities USA, Catholic Relief Services and the National Catholic Rural Life Conference again expressed their concerns.
"With continued high unemployment and a struggling economy, the need for adequate funding levels in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) and other programs that help hungry people, are essential," they wrote in a May letter to members of Congress.
Internationally, "Congress should also protect funding for emergency assistance and food security development projects," the five Catholic leaders added. They called for an overall reduction in agricultural subsidies, urged continued support for rural development programs, and said "conservation initiatives should receive full funding in order to promote stewardship of the land and environmentally sound agriculture practices."
As negotiations on the farm bill began to draw to a close in November, the five Catholic leaders, joined by the head of the National Council of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, reiterated their position in letters to representatives and senators.
After House and Senate negotiators agreed to compromise legislation, the House approved the farm bill Jan. 29. Senate approval followed Feb. 4.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the provisions of the 2014 farm bill will lead to $16.5 billion in reduced spending over 10 years compared to the 2008 farm bill. Nearly half of that reduction comes from cuts to SNAP and other domestic food programs.
Throughout the next decade, the United States is expected to spend $756.4 billion on food stamps and other nutrition programs ($8 billion less than it would have under the 2008 farm bill), $89.8 billion on crop insurance ($5.7 billion more), $57.6 billion on conservation ($4 billion less), $44.5 billion on commodity programs ($14.3 billion less), and $8.1 billion on other provisions ($4.1 billion more).
According to a USCCB statement, Catholic leaders expressed mixed feelings about the final result.
"While we are disappointed that the final compromise continues to call disproportionately for sacrifices from hungry and poor people in this country and around the world, especially when large industrial agricultural operations continue to receive unnecessary subsidies, we are glad to see support will continue for domestic and international nutrition and development aid, rural development and conservation," said Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami, the new chairman of the USCCB Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development.
Bishop Pates added that "with one in eight persons around the world struggling to feed themselves each day, we welcome the renewed commitment by Congress to programs that tackle root causes of chronic hunger and appreciate its foresight in making programs more cost effective so we can serve more people with the limited resources available."
James Ennis, executive director of Catholic Rural Life, said he was "disappointed to see that necessary reforms to farm commodity programs and payment levels have been struck down in the final bill.
"Congress needs to close loopholes and set real payment limits," he said. "By doing so, the farm bill will help to save hundreds of millions of dollars and take a step toward leveling the playing field for all family farmers."

Everybody should redirect your IPs to a monitored honeybox for 3-4 days, whenever new content is released...
I think they do, this bug has been patched.. :o!ReplyDelete
My logs (Google Analytics) show's that some one reported this post though GMail, to the owners of the project..
Pff, maybe if I use Responsible Disclosure next time, they will give some extra credits haha
Hi, I'm the official developer of the system. I have subscribed to Google Alerts, and one of them brought me to your blog. Since Google sends alerts to GMail, there was no middleman involved (well, kind of).ReplyDelete
Thanks for finding the bug, but next time it would be better if it wasn't reported publicly :)
ok rytis, sorry for the full disclosure, but since it wasn't so dangerous I disclose it this way, some new XSS will reported to you privately :)ReplyDelete

Appraising Art from the Midwest
By Frank Radosevich II
April 8, 2013
The rich tradition of Midwestern printmaking and book arts was the focus of Bradley's Inland Visual Studies Symposium, a two-day event that brings together regional artists and faculty to discuss the unique elements of Midwestern art and design and its place in American culture.
The symposium, sponsored by the University's Inland Visual Arts Center, highlights the visual arts produced and rooted in the Midwest, since too often the artwork coming from galleries in New York City or Hollywood studios overshadows the contributions of "inland" artists.
"We tend to think about visual culture as being concentrated on the East and West coasts primarily because the art markets and entertainment industry are located there," said Dr. Paul Krainak, Bradley's art department chair and direct of the Inland Center. "We need to be more open and shine a better light on visual arts production in the Midwest."
The fourth of its kind since it was established five years ago, this year's symposium focused on the traditional art of print and bookmaking, featuring demonstrations by regional artists on their techniques and tools used. Karen Kunc, an art professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, showed how she carved into birch-veneer plywood blocks before applying oil-based inks to the wood and feathering the ink with her fingers or a cloth.
"You have to play with the ink with your hands," she said. "It's a process of discovery."
In addition to the demonstrations, the symposium offered a reception, film screening and a panel discussion featuring several artists detailing their work and views on what it means to be an artist in the Midwest. Panel members included Krainak; Kunc; Susan Goldman, a filmmaker and professor of printmaking at George Mason University; Julia Leonard, an art professor at the University of Iowa; and Regin Igloria, director of artists-in-residence at the Ragdale Foundation.
Krainak pointed to the Midwestern influence on industrial design, architecture and music like blues and jazz as evidence of the regions significance. He said the focus on print and book arts this year was deliberate since the modern day forms of the crafts emerged from the area.
"It's a fine art discipline that's really owned by the Midwest," he said.
Bradley houses the visual studies center and partners with Washington University and Ohio State University. The academic center is devoted to the study of visual practices in Mid-America, their expressions in the media, popular culture and art in other parts of the country and world.

Sewing With Kids: Cross-Stitched Portrait Gift
Affiliate Disclosure: Pink and Green Mama is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.
My oldest daughter, "E" has been learning how to cross-stitch.
She really enjoys it and likes to sit with it as a way to unwind.
She also enjoys knitting but that's something she does on her own because I don't know how to knit!
she added a rainbow and completed her whole name.
Last year, she wanted to make something special for her best friend's 9th birthday present.
We saw these cute cross-stitched portraits in an old Martha Stewart magazine
and it was love at first site for "E."
She started by sketching out her design on graph paper and making a pattern.
Awesome, right?!
Then, she spent several afternoons working carefully on this darling portrait.
I love the addition of the rainbow and the buttons.
Her very special BFF has it hanging in a place of honor in her room.
She has taken a break from cross-stitch work lately to concentrate on her knitting.
I'm hoping I can get her to get back into making her adorable samplers again soon.
I'm thinking a family portrait or a self portrait.
I wish she would make one for her mama....hint, hint.
Do your kids knit or cross-stitch?

We are a new, cosmetic teeth whitening company. We sell to salons/spas, med spas, dentists and will eventually roll out to larger retailers. Our primary competition is Crest White Smile. We are set apart from the competition with the use of an LED blue light that accelerates the teeth whitening process to 15 - 30 minutes. As a result, customers experience NO painful side effects like they do with other brands. What's more, we have a patented mouth piece that none of the competition has - the se of the mouth piece whitens the back of the teeth as well as the front. The result is much better results since our teeth are translucent.
The image we want to have is clean, hip and high end - something a consumer would buy in a salon or spa. When a customer see's our brand, they will want to pop it right into their mouth because it's so clean :) . Teeth whitening has become a large segment of the cosmetic industry.

Women 20 - 45; They purchase for themselves and the men in their lives.
check out the website at http://www.whitesmileusa.com This is another primary competitor, however, we want our brand to stand out more than this. Their colors are too generic.

Performance-Based Measurement System (PBMS)
EPA is actively working to implement the President's program for "reinventing" government and reforming regulatory policy. As part of this program, EPA has been working to break down barriers to using new monitoring techniques.
One barrier that the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) is tackling is the requirement to use specific measurement methods or technologies in complying with Agency regulations. EPA's environmental monitoring community, members of the regulatory community, and Congress all agree that EPA needs to change the way it specifies monitoring requirements in regulations and permits. There is broad acceptance for use of a performance-based measurement system (PBMS). ORCR strongly supports this position and is committed to using this approach in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) monitoring program, to the extent feasible.
Benefits of PBMS
The PBMS approach would provide many benefits to both regulators and the regulated community, including:
- Flexibility in method selection.
- Expedited approval of new and emerging technologies to meet mandated monitoring requirements.
- Development and use of cost-effective methods that meet program requirements and their associated performance criteria.
Where PBMS is implemented, the regulated community will be able to select an appropriate analytical method for use in complying with the RCRA regulations, including a method not found in EPA-published manuals that is cost-effective and meets the particular project criteria.
PBMS conveys "what" needs to be accomplished, but not prescriptively "how" to do it. EPA defines PBMS as a set of processes wherein the data needs, mandates, or limitations of a program or project are specified, and serve as criteria for selecting appropriate methods to meet those needs in a cost-effective manner. The criteria may be published in regulations, technical guidance documents, permits, work plans, or enforcement orders. Under a performance-based approach, EPA would specify:
- Questions to be answered by monitoring.
- Decisions to be supported by the data.
- Level of uncertainty acceptable for making decisions.
- Documentation to be generated to support this approach in the RCRA monitoring program.
For more information, read the Federal Register Notice (PDF) (3 pp, 115K, about PDF) - October 6, 1997
What is EPA Doing to Implement PBMS?
OSWER PBMS Implementation Plan
The Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) developed a plan (PDF) (55 pp, 152K, about PDF) to implement PBMS in its programs. Wastes is a part of OSWER and contributed to the plan. The plan describes OSWER-wide goals for PBMS and actions for overcoming any obstacles to PBMS implementation. For each office within OSWER, the plan also provides details regarding completed and on-going PBMS implementation projects.
As part of EPA's effort to implement the PBMS approach, the following actions are being taken:
- Incorporating the PBMS philosophy into new regulations.
- Establishing data quality and performance requirements for RCRA-required
monitoring and including the requirements in the RCRA regulations, as
necessary, to assist the regulated community in method selection and
help assure successful PBMS implementation.
- Developing new sampling and testing methodologies which are compatible
with the PBMS approach and encouraging use of those methods.
- Fostering training and guidance to educate regulators and the regulated
community regarding the flexibility of PBMS, the inherent flexibility
of SW-846, and application of PBMS during RCRA-related monitoring.
- Removing some of the required uses for SW-846 methods from RCRA regulations, where the Agency believes these requirements are not necessary (in order to facilitate PBMS implementation), and thus removing regulatory barriers to the use of new and innovative technologies for RCRA-related monitoring.

The name Roger Corman does not immediately strike an elevated chord among cinéastes. It should. In a career beginning in the mid-1950s as director-producer of microbudget drive-in movies and extending into today, Corman, now 85, is perhaps the most exemplary example of a one-man band in the history of American independent film.
Because Hollywood in the '50s and '60s was essentially a closed shop to emerging filmmaking talent, and because Corman kept his payrolls painfully low, he was able to start up the careers of a dizzying roster of filmmakers who might otherwise never have set foot inside Hollywood's precincts. A sample list includes Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, Ron Howard, Peter Bogdanovich, Robert De Niro, Robert Towne, Jack Nicholson, James Cameron, and William Shatner. As a distributor, he was also responsible for bringing out films by directors like Federico Fellini ("Amarcord") and Ingmar Bergman ("Cries and Whispers") when the major studios were wary. (Bergman was said to have relished the idea of his movies playing in drive-ins.)
Alex Stapleton's documentary "Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel" has an archival, cobbled-together quality not unlike some of Corman's own productions. Some of the interviews with and about Corman reach back many decades, contrasting with wayward footage of Corman on the set of 2010's "Dinoshark" or being honored that same year with a lifetime achievement Oscar. Some of the interviewee omissions are glaring. I would like to have heard from Coppola or Cameron or Towne, for example.
But there's plenty of fascinating movie lore on display here from those who did participate (or from archival footage). Scorsese, who directed his second feature film, "Boxcar Bertha," a kind of hillbilly knock-off of "Bonnie and Clyde," for Corman's company in 1972, recounts an anecdote I always thought was apocryphal: As a follow-up to "Boxcar Bertha," Scorsese presented Corman with the script for "Mean Streets," which he offered to finance if Scorsese would make one change – instead of being about Italian-Americans, make it about blacks. (This was at the height of the blaxploitation movie craze.) Scorsese, after mulling it over, politely declined.
Corman's astonishing output of hundreds of movies, with such titles as "Monster From the Ocean Floor," "It Conquered the World," "Viking Women and the Sea Serpent," "She Gods of Shark Reef," and "The Wild Angels," included the occasional film with enduring merit. A standout of his '60s Edgar Allan Poe series was "The Tomb of Ligeia," written by Towne. "The Intruder," just about the only Corman-directed movie that didn't fit the usual exploitation template, starred Shatner in a powerful Southern civil rights drama. (It was Corman's only financial flop. Had it succeeded, his career might have taken a different course.) Besides the 1960 "Little Shop of Horrors," one of the favorite Corman movies not excerpted in this documentary, is "X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes," a spooky little gem starring Ray Milland as a scientist who can see through things and Don Rickles, in a chilling cameo, as a carny huckster.
Corman acknowledges in the film that his way of making movies took a hit when "Jaws" and "Star Wars" came out. "I saw 'Star Wars,' " he says, "and I thought this a threat to me. The major studios are doing for a million dollars what we are doing for a hundred thousand. It will be very difficult for us to compete."
He was right. But Corman, even now, sticks to his formula, even if the films he produces (he no longer directs) are only straight-to-video jobs like "Dinoshark."
The funniest thing about Corman – it's a joke he's in on – is the disparity between the movies he makes and the precise, polite, almost scholarly demeanor he projects. Scorsese summed it up: "You expect to see a Lee J. Cobb-type smoking a cigar and pounding the desk." No doubt if Corman smoked cigars, they would be stogies and not premium blend. Grade: B (Rated R for some violent images, nudity, and language.)

Boycott Apple! Why Apple Is Screwed
Feb 13, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Boy, if there were ever an indication that we're in the post-Steve Jobs years, it was last week when there was a major rally to hold Apple accountable for the poor working conditions at Foxconn in China. Now I'm all for accountability, but this would be like a European country holding a restaurant there accountable for the working conditions on U.S. fishing boats (and there was even a TV show on how bad that job can suck). In fact, this effort might actually make working conditions in these factories worse, simply because companies like Apple will now be more motivated not to report problems outside of their authority.
Sadly, Apple is actually one of the more aggressive companies trying to deal with this problem, particularly under Tim Cook, and the message these efforts send suggests that being aggressive, because it makes issues like this more visible, may in itself be stupid. I'll get into the dynamics of foreign labor and suggest that boycotting or punishing Apple isn't the way to fix bad labor practices.
I'll end with my product of the week: a refresh of an old favorite, the Plantronics Savi Pro, a headset that nicely blends telephone connectivity with PC connectivity so you can live in both the old analog and new digital world with one product.
Labor Practices and Procurement
Years ago, I was an auditor and I got a hard lesson in the realities surrounding procurement. Those realities make it very hard for a vendor to exert effective control over things that extend beyond price and quality. This is because companies, their executives, and their procurement staff are all measured on profitability -- or more accurately, the dynamic between what it costs to make something and what it costs to sell it. The closer you get to manufacturing, the more focused on cost you become, and quality is a function of cost. (Returns increase cost, which tends to drive higher quality.)
This means as a procurement manager you bid out a job, and the job is given to whomever can provide the lowest price with adequate performance (performance is made up of both on-time delivery and product quality). These are the primary company metrics -- and if the supplier were using slaves who were cycled through as they died but still made its numbers, it would likely be preferred.
Now killing workers is inhumane, which equates to business as a marketing PR problem unless it adversely impacts quality or delivery timing. Which it can, but often doesn't. Marketing and PR are non-line organizations that are focused on dealing with image, not with changing company manufacturing policy -- and they have no authority to do that. Which means the first inclination is cover up the problem, assign blame to someone else, or trivialize it. Marketing/PR has no authority to do anything else.
If a company does implement a more worker-friendly policy with audits, two unfortunate things happen. One is that costs go up to pay for the better facilities or less-abusive vendors, and the audits actually will find problems that will get reported and result in consumer backlash. In fact, several of the problems over the last few years that Apple has been pounded on for, were actually discovered by Apple, which did take action to correct them. In short, the company gets punished two ways if it tries to do the right thing.
More Harm Than Good
A few years ago, a company got pounded as a result of one if its suppliers using children under 18 in assembly, and that practice was discontinued. The company was Apple, if I recall correctly. However, what this did for the community where the factory resided was push the related families into more distress, because often those minors were the only earners in the family -- or a critical part of making ends meet. In that country, it was common for employment to begin at 12. In some cases, the kids went unemployed and hungry. In others, they got jobs in even worse environments, because they still needed to eat. In effect, instead of improving living quality in the community, the company's well-meaning efforts actually made it worse.
What do you think happens when a company like Apple pulls its manufacturing out of a distressed area? You think welfare takes over to pay and feed those people? Granted, other people will get jobs at another company somewhere else, but if the effort was to improve the lot of the people being overworked, all that happened was that one problem, overwork, was replaced with a worse one -- starvation or homelessness.
But how often does anyone go back and see what happened to the people who got fired as a result of these more "humanitarian" practices?
Wrapping Up: Lead-Based Paint
The focus of the protests is likely on Apple because it's the richest U.S. company. However, Foxconn builds for a lot of other companies as well. If you want to fix a problem like this, focus on the behavior, taking an approach similar to the U.S. banning lead paint. Ban all products connected to this behavior, regardless of brand. Put in place government audits, and anyone who wants to ship anything into the U.S. will have to address this issue.
That would raise the bar for every company, and it would become a quality metric -- in short, a line problem -- and the entire class of suppliers would have to improve labor practices. It would shift from an image issue to one connected to costs and revenues, and -- at least with regard to U.S. imports -- the labor conditions would have to be improved.
Here in the U.S., we have a tendency to focus on quick fixes that address the image of a problem but ignore the core issues. It's how we got into the economic mess we are in and likely will be in again. We don't fix the behavior -- we just target a few scapegoats until we don't see it anymore.
At some point, it might be wiser to actually get the job done. Greece is currently the example of what happens when you just cover things up repeatedly, and that is the path we currently are on. Apparently, it is also one of the reasons ants are kicking our butts.
Product of the Week: Plantronics Savi W745
The new Savi W745 has become one of my favorite desktop products. It is a wireless headset that connects to both a phone and a PC so you can seamlessly switch between a phone call and either listening to an Internet video or a Skype call.
I've even used it to do Skype interviews for network TV and national news services (the sound is that good).
It has decent battery life and is relatively unobtrusive, and it has a range that extends across most of my floor. This newer version actually listens for PC sounds and automatically activates to pass through audio notifications and alarms I might otherwise miss without speakers (and coworkers often find speakers annoying).
At about US$330 with the optional handset lifter so you can answer and hang up calls remotely, it isn't cheap (you can find it discounted at Amazon and other sites) -- but I live with it day in and day out and don't know what I'd do without this little marvel. Because I can't really live without it anymore, the Plantronics Savi W745 is my product of the week.

When Olmy Olmstead '04 came to Wabash, he never thought that his kicking shoe would wind up in the NCAA's Hall of Champions. But the unconventional straight-ahead kicker for the Wabash College football team and the square-toed kicking shoe that set the Little Giants' record for extra points in a season earned a spot in an educational display at the Hall in Indianapolis.
Check out the complete story by Romando Dixson from the Newark Advocate newspaper in Ohio.

When mentoring our pre-service and in-service teachers we need to describe and model both research-based and clinically tested best practices, and demonstrate how these best practices can be applied in the real (i.e. physical) and virtual (i.e. online) classroom for both teaching and teacher training. The combination of face to face instruction in a physical setting and online learning is called blended learning. In this section of the blog we will describe how the internet can serve as a supplemental resource for instruction and the mentoring of pre-service and in-service Jewish educators. In this post we will discuss how InstaMag, an IOS (Apple) and Google Play photo collage app, can be used to promote instruction in the blended learning classroom.
Assumption: The teacher or mentor teacher has an interactive white board (i.e. SMART Board, Promethean, etc.), a Tablet PC (also called a Slate or Blade), a computer presenter or computer with internet access attached to an LCD projector in the classroom. It would be ideal if students or mentees had access to their own laptop computers or iPads. Given parental and school approval, and the development of specific guidelines, smartphones can be used to enhance instruction as well.
Note: Although InstaMag can be applied in the Judaic Studies blended learning classroom, it can be also be used for training pre-service and in-service Jewish educators for professional or staff development. It is our hope that Jewish educators around the globe will form an online community of practice, a CoP, a group of people who share an interest, a craft, and/or a profession, to enhance the delivery of instruction and training of Jewish educators. For example, here is a CoP you might want to join.
Note: InstaMag can be used in a face to face and virtual classroom.
What is InstaMag?
InstaMag in an IOS(Apple) and Google Play photo collage app.
Where is InstaMag located on the internet?
- https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/instamag-magazine-collage/id615187629?mt=8 (IOS/Apple App)
- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instamag.activity&hl=en (Goole Play App)
How InstaMag, a photo collage IOS(Apple) and Windows app, can be used to promote instruction in the blended learning
Photo collage apps like InstaMag can be used to enhance instruction in the face to face and virtual classroom in the following ways:
Ideas adapted from http://schoolipads.com/2013/12/02/apps-in-the-classroom-pic-collage/
- Students can create a collage of members of the class
- Individual students, pairs, groups of students or the entire class can create a photo book made of pictures and collages.
- Students can create a photo collage make collages themed around shapes, colors, favorite things, words that rhyme, etc.
- Students can create a collage of characters in a book.
- Students can insert collages into their power point presentations, posters, flyers, essays, homework etc.
- Collages can be used to decorate the classroom
The following idea was taken from
- Students can create collages to introduce themselves
The following ideas were adapted from
- Collages can show different concepts like time, energy, evolution, height, etc.
- Collages can display similarities and differences
- Collages can display the culture of a country (music, art, architecture, sculpture, history, geography, important landmarks, etc.)
- Collages can become pictionaries or show different examples of a concept
- Collages can represent the sequence of a field trip
- Collages can be visual poems
- Collages can show the steps in a procedure or scientific experiment
- Collages can be used to display actions or active verbs.
- Collages can be used to display words that have the same meaning in different languages (e.g. peace, shalom, salam, paz, etc.)
On the next blogpost we will discuss how InstaMag, an IOS (Apple) and Google Play photo collage app, can be used to promote Judaic instruction and to mentor/train Jewish educators.

I've always said that the hardest part of running a photography business…is running a photography business.
For the most part, I try and remain free of the online armchair quarterbacking that will straight suck the creative life right out of you, but, within all but the most elite levels of photography, there has long been a misconception in the creative world that artistic prowess is somehow a portal to weakness when it comes down to the nitty gritty of doing business.
There are many veteran photographers in the industry that are incredibly wary of what the future holds. While completely justified in their grim outlook (vs. the glory days) Toronto lawyer , I can say with assurance that I believe the future to be bright, albeit very different. The bottom line has always been "adapt or die". That's a tough one for sure–I believe adaptation, in this sense, walks a fine line between relinquishing standards and understanding what is a sustainable new way of doing business. Adapt in a way that benefits both parties involved, understanding that there will need to be compromise from both parties.
My new bottom line? CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT WITH THE DEAL YOU JUST MADE? Is it good for both parties involved? Is it ridiculously lopsided? Look out for numero uno Contractor Accountants , while keeping the health of the industry a close second.

What a wonderful week!! Not only was it a week of inspiration and learning, but it was spent with my wonderful daughter, Marie. We spent from July 25 to July 29 at BYU's annual Family History Conference. This year's theme was, "Strengthening Ties that Bind, Families Together Forever." We heard from keynote speakers, Dennis Simmons, (Church Authority) D. Joshua Taylor, (NEHGS) and Ransom Love, from Family Search. They were all amazing. Marie and I took classes on Power Point, Excel, Preserving, Tracking English, Ancestors and every class taught by Joshua Taylor. He is amazing!
The car gets parked when we arrive and not used again until we are ready to leave. We walk everywhere and spend our evenings out browsing around the campus. Each building is a story of it's own with displays, artifacts, and hours of browsing possibilities. I could stay on that campus for days. Of course, we ate at the Creamery two times and the Brick Oven once. It's a good thing we do much walking.
Genealogy Experiences, Learning, Photos, Family Group Sheets, Pedigree Charts, etc., etc., etc.,

From Our Editors
"You're up." At more than 200 AMF Bowling locations across the U.S., that message is passed between friends as they heft a ball, step to the line, and take aim. Now synonymous with bowling, AMF was founded in 1901 as American Machine and Foundry. It wasn't until 1946 that the company made a splash in bowling, when it introduced the automated pin spotter to the public.
Today, AMF's nationwide network of bowling centers is a source of year-round entertainment for people of all ages. Outfitted with a classic bowling alley design, the centers also feature the latest technologies, from high-tech scoring systems to the ability to share experiences on social media.
