Categories Comments Great for these types of students Artistic, open-minded, works better in smaller environments (academically), loves to be involved with community, loves diverse culture.
Tips for prospective students the more background you have in art, the better it is to do well at CCA. it is best to prepare a portfolio before your senior year in high school so you have less to worry about when you apply to schools. portfolios should contain your best works. try to show all the different types of mediums you know how to use (paints, graphite, digital media, etc) and your different artistic skills (through drawing, video editing, animation, painting). remember to let yourself show through your artworks. as for gpa/grades/sat scores/ap scores, try to do well in school and testing. the more well-rounded you are, the more appealing you will be to the school. also, it increases your chances of getting more scholarships!
Bang for the buck Most students get financial aid or scholarships if they're a US citizen or permanent resident, so tuition isn't too expensive, but international students have to pay the full tuition price.
Am enjoying being here although there arent many student organizations, there are lots of things to do to make friends and get involved. its easiest to make friends in your classes. i like the environment because it is very urban and san francisco and berkeley are less than an hour away by public transportation. theres a lot of good food places around, but can be a bit pricey.
Am learning a lot In all the courses, you will get something out of it even if its not related to your major. Some teachers are helpful, but some don't know what they're doing... (especially in core classes). coursework/projects aren't difficult, but time consuming. you have to manage your time well. you learn more by working hard on all projects and from critiques (feedback from fellow students and professors) which give suggestions/commentary on how to improve your project. It's not too challenging and not too easy.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students WORK WORK WORK. This school will bring you lots of success, and you will learn more than you could imagine. but you have to be willing to put in the time and the effort. If your not supposed to be here, you wont be, the work will take over you and swallow you whole if you are not cut out for it.
Tips for prospective students you get out as much as you put in. work alot and just be psyched on it. You will learn as much as you want to.
Bang for the buck Yeah, the school is very expensive, but you get what you pay for. you will learn so much, and be turned on to alot of amazing resources. I have already had gallery offerings, and internships with top notch artists because of my school
Am enjoying being here Oakland is an amazing place. The amount of art and music you are exposed to (which is very important to me) is tremendous. I cant even count how many gallery openings i went to in the first month of school, and how many famous artists I met. The amount of things to do in the bay area is almost overwhelming. I would be impressed if you could manage to have a boring day or night. The people are really nice and welcoming. The campus is very friendly. all of the people are willing to help you out. I have heard alot of people say that the people at art school are hard to get along with. I had 6 really good friends before the sun set on my first day.
Am learning a lot I am deeply passionate about art. I have been drawing since i was a baby, and my love for creating has only grown since then. My technical skills were sub par prior to attending CCA. In my first semester i learned how to draw, how to REALLY draw. it was amazing. my drawing teacher taught me how to get proportions right, use simultanious contrast of value, render accurate shadows, and how to draw faces. I learned how to use every kind of tool known to man for drawing. I even learned how to draw with ink. In my 2d class my teacher pushed me on how to incorporate these concepts that she could tell i had into my work, therefore really pushing my credibility as an artist. Thanks to art history I can name almost any piece of widely known art work created since the cave paintings at lascaux. I had never done any photography work, but in the first hour of my photography class I fully understood how a camera worked, knew how to load film, and was shooting. By the end of the semester I knew almost everything there was to know about black and white photography. I could print fiber prints larger than 16 by 20, I could shoot medium format, and I could tone with sepia. It was incredible. I cant wait for my color film class next semester. Last but not least was english. I have never been a fan of english class. I hated writing essays, and i wasnt a huge fan of reading. My teacher had me writing essays for FUN in a week. In my class we did analysis of music, and were writing 10 page essays by the end of the semester.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This school is great for people who love art and are willing to take artistic risks, get dirty, and have fun.
Tips for prospective students Be confident! Prepare your best portfolio and have faith it's strong enough. Once you are excepted don't be afraid to call the school if you have questions about billing, registering for classes, etc. When I was incoming my enrollment counselor was on my speed dial. They are happy to help.
Bang for the buck This school costs a lot. But you learn a lot, and it's enjoyable. So it does level out somewhat. Just stay focus so you don't fail any classes 'cuz that's money you won't be seeing again.
Am enjoying being here I have met many many amazing people in and out of class. Most of my friends are out of major and they tend to be the ones that help me the most with ideas. Because they aren't animation majors they tend to think about things in a different way that offend helpful. Also don't hide away in your dorm room! work is important but you need to be social as well.
Am learning a lot I am a second year now, and i have learned soooo much. I came into the school not knowing any art terms or artist names and stuff like that. I was self taught until I came to CCA, and it was a good choice! I have learned so much history and technique, with both traditional and digital medium. Also I am an animation major and the program is great. It teaches animation techniques, story telling, story boarding, concept art, special effects, etc, etc.

Categories Comments Campus Safety good security that will walk you to your car late at night.
Greek Life none
Clubs and Activities there are some events around campus but im not particularly involved.
Great for these types of students designers, architects, printmakers, industrial design.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus the school is on a hill and there is a cool lookout point that overlooks the bay area.
Bang for the buck i get a lot of financial aid.
What to do for fun people go to the city or there is a really good music scene around here. lots of bars cus its near berkeley. a total college town
Food and Dining there is a safeway nearby and lots of little restaurants around the oakland campus.
Dorm Life i never lived in the dorms but i know people make good friends there.
Academic Rigor i get straight as but i've always been that student that doesn't try hard and does well anyways. people say its difficult but i think most people are lazy.
Tips for prospective students don't go if you are interested in making art and not knowing what youre doing. if you like art history and want to make art about art go there. good for design but the fine arts are somewhat lacking.
In three sentences attached to art history. mostly conceptually charged teachers. design over fine arts.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Creative + Determined
Bang for the buck CCA is expensive. But I'd like to say its worth it. Students are pushed to the limit so that they become the best in the field. Its not well known, but CCA is a great school. (Its on the Forbes list of Top 60 Global Design Schools)
What to do for fun When you get free time, SF has lots of different neighborhoods with different vibes, and they're fun to explore.
Food and Dining CCA has cafes on each campus which are meh. I prefer to go to the restaurants around campus, which are tasty, but in SF all close too early.
Dorm Life I lived at the Cal. St. dorms and for a dorm, it could be way worse. Its very expensive, but SF is expensive. However the communal kitchen (1 kitchen for 5 floors,) is always FLITHY. Also, I highly recommend getting your own mini fridge, otherwise your food will get stolen.
Academic Rigor It is less rigorous for some majors, but students figure out fast if they are committed and can keep up to course demands. Classes start at 8am and get out at 10:15 pm and are either 3 or 6 hours each. This plus homework time takes some getting used to, and you quickly start scheduling everything, including showers.
Tips for prospective students College will not be a frat party at CCA. Lots of sleepless nights and weekends spent working at school. The tradeoff is that you form a family with your classmates, and that you will graduate having worked your booty off doing something you love. A lot of talented passionate students that when we get the chance, party pretty well.
In three sentences I Transfered to CCA after my 2nd year of another great design school on the east coast, (I changed my major and decided to go to the school that was known for the program.) I've been at CCA a year and will be finishing my degree there for sure. 25 or less core class sizes, and most teachers work in the field that they teach.

Will enjoy being here I enjoy being in California. I think I will enjoy attending this university I look forward to learning animations and earning my Bachelor's in that field.
Will learn a lot I'm hoping to learn about computer and character animations.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus is relatively safe despite a few occurrences a few years ago. BEWARE of parking your car on the street in both Oakland and San Francisco campuses. Car break-ins are very common.
Great for these types of students Artists and designers, hipsters with interest in art/design
Bang for the buck It's okay to be unsure about your future when you arrive to CCA. The academic advisors know their stuff and can guide you to the right program.
What to do for fun Walk around Oakland or Bart over to either SF or Berkeley. Very diverse communities.
Food and Dining Appeals to vegetarians.
Dorm Life Small dorms, off campus apartments across the street in the Oakland campus.
Academic Rigor Can be difficult depending on your professors.
Tips for prospective students Research your professors/courses before registering for your class--make sure you know what you're getting into. Don't be shy, be open during discussions and critiques.
In three sentences Fine Arts community is great, friendly and knowledgeable faculty and staff.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Bike friendly streets and growing population of cyclists, their are outdoor activities such as parks for hiking or exploring and of course San Francisco.
Food and Dining Oakland has an enormous range of food choices from burgers and fries to exotic cuisine.
Dorm Life Have never lived in the dorms at the California College of Arts campus but have heard and seen reviews from past students who have lived in the dorms that they have had an amazing experience.
Academic Rigor Offer an individualized major which is considered a type of honors program that lets you build and structure your own curriculum. However before anything the school must approve it and they offer a class that will help you structure what it is that you would like to pursue.
Tips for prospective students Some tips to offer to students looking to pursue their education at California College of the Arts would be to check out their website first and foremost for more information on the programs offered, financial aid. Also to visit both campuses in person or at least take the online tours and speak with one of their friendly advisors to answer any questions you may have that the website did not answer or you are unclear about. Apply, you will never know what possibilities can open up for you unless you help yourself to find out and try.
In three sentences California College of the Arts has a unique and rigorous program created for the conscious modern day artist. Their curriculum and resources prepares students to combine art with the communities both around the institution and the world. Preparing alumni to face the battles of continuing to purse a career in art outside of the school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is Security everywhere. It's not hard to run across a security guard. the campus it pretty small. There are not any problems with safety.
Greek Life Greek life does not apply to CCA.
Clubs and Activities There are a lot of clubs that you can be apart of. You can also create a club of your own you just need to have a minimum of five people. To know what clubs are available you can look it up on the CCA site.
Great for these types of students I would say the great thing about being a design or art student would be that you can make you work noticeable and collaborate with others that have talented imaginations as well.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I cant say.
What to do for fun To be honest there is not much to do unless you want to travel into the city. There are clubs to go to in SF and in Oakland it best not to venture at night time unless you stay in the Berkeley area on Telegraph Ave near Berkeley University there you will find college students everywhere. That would be for the minglers. Emeryville on Bay Street is also a cool area just to go to the movies and chill.
Food and Dining There is a Cafe called A2 on both campuses. I would say that both are good for a quick snack or lunch. but over all when it comes to meals theres is not much of a variety. On the Berkeley Campus you can walk down college Ave and be sure to find a Variety of places to eat within walking distance. On the SF Campus you have wolfs and Axis cafes. Wolfs has a better price range then Axis which can be expensive. you can walk a few blocks and reach whole foods.
Dorm Life The dorms can be disgusting. I do not stay in the dorms but the few times i have visited I'm glad i didn't live in the dorms.
Academic Rigor A very competitive school. can be harsh on project presentation when reviewing and giving a critique. Make sure you know what it is you are presenting and present it well. Know the in and outs of a project by detail. The teachers give great feedback.
Tips for prospective students Make sure this is the school you'd like to go to. To transferrable credits are not very organized, therefore you can waste time attending CCA. Make sure you are 100% interested. this school is for someone who plans on graduating when attending.
In three sentences California College of the Arts is a great school. Very Diverse. The teachers give you a lot of attention and support to help open your mind to wider design strategies. I love working with other student when collaborating. A great school for design.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There's always someone on campus that you can call if you get caught in a situation or if you're worried about walking somewhere at night. They're also really nice if you're outside late and want someone to have a chat with.
Greek Life No such thing here.
Great for these types of students Artists...pretty much. If you feel like you fit into that category come here.
Bang for the buck To be honest, I hate paying so much to go to school. I feel like education should be a free opportunity for everyone, but since that's not the way things work, CCA is as good a school as any other, and better for artists. The campus offers a great place for art, and is like no other college campus you've ever seen. The people are nice and the teachers are working artists as well. If you love art it's a great community of people to be around to further your career.
What to do for fun There's a lot to do in the Bay Area. Around the Oakland campus there's College Ave. which is full of shops and dining, and only a few minutes away from the Bart station to take you to anywhere else you want to go in the Bay. Berkeley is right around the corner, which has even more shops, food, and bars if you're of age. They're are also a lot of activities that go on on the Oakland campus throughout the years. Art openings, free food days and lots of other art themed activities.
Food and Dining CCA does not have the normal dining plan that other schools have. In fact, there's no meal plan at all. There's a small fridge and microwave in every room, and a full kitchen set up in the common rooms. There's is also a cafe on each campus that offers a variety of foods, however it gets a little pricey if you eat there too often (but the food is great). The best option is really just to get a costco sized pack of cup o' noodles.
Dorm Life CCA only asks that you live in the dorms for your first year of schooling. Dorm living can really suck, especially if you get stuck with someone that you don't want to live with. But they do let you switch rooms with a good reason. And it's great for meeting people and making friends, and ultimately it'll make your college experience better.
Academic Rigor This school is very intensive for your major. The core classes are given way less emphasis than classes intended for your major, but those classes can be pretty difficult but ultimately rewarding.
Tips for prospective students Try your best to get as much financial aid as possible before attending. A number of people find the price to steep and end up leaving before they are able to finish their degree. If you can figure out a way to get your money in order, this school will be great for you.
In three sentences CCA is a great school for all types of artistic majors. It's especially great for those interested in writing and very receptive for writers of all sorts. Though the price is steep I recommend attending if you can afford it.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have security guards, but nothing ever happens around our school. our campuses are located in good areas where there isn't much to worry about.
Greek Life No Greek life in an Art school
Clubs and Activities I have no time for clubs, I have a job and I'm a full time student doing a double major.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I got to an art school, so most of these kids have unusual traditions, but after a few years you get use to it.
Bang for the buck I believe I am getting a good education at CCA, and will have a great portfolio when school is done.
What to do for fun For fun I tend to arrange soccer games or any other sport that my friends might be interested in playing. brings us together apart from school and gives us some time to be out doors and relaxing.
Food and Dining We have a caffe in both our campuses that sell delicious food at reasonable prices.
Dorm Life Never lived in the dorms, so i cant rate it.
Academic Rigor Most Classes that I have taken are moderate in how rigorous they are.
Tips for prospective students Time management, as an Artist you don't have the luxury to sit around and wait for last minute to start your project, not always will you be able to come up with something on the spot.
In three sentences In a scale from 1 to 10, I give California College of the Arts an seven. In my 3 years at CCA I have come across teachers that are not adequate to be teaching, some have no experience and some have the experience but are just poor teachers. As far as the curriculum I believe that for my major, a lot could be added to improve it.

Categories Comments Campus Safety 24/7 Public Safety. They even escort you to and from the studios, apartments, and bus stops when it gets dark.
Bang for the buck You get almost 24/7 access to the studios and library. You even get free entry to some of San Francisco's best museums.
Food and Dining CCA doesn't have a meal plan, but the on-campus cafe and the nearby restaurants and grocery stores are perfect for a student's budget.
Dorm Life Never lived in the dorms, but I've heard that it's lively. And the best part is that you get to live near people who share your interests in art.
Academic Rigor Instructors push you the limit, pulling every ounce of artistic talent, even if you didn't know you had any, out and into your art. Every instructor encourages individuality.
In three sentences A place where every art interacts and mixes together. CCA encourages students to interact with other majors and strengthen connections for the future. With teachers who are currently working in the art world, students get a taste of what their lives will be like after graduation.

Greek Life none
Clubs and Activities There are countless clubs and community activists at CCA. If you are interested in something, there is bound to be a club about it.
Great for these types of students Anyone who loves Art, Design, Culture, or something new...should attend CCA
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There is a wonderful park located on the SF campus where all students meet, eat, or greet.
What to do for fun Both campuses are located in the heart of design districts. There are many places to see as far as art, food, and culture. There many bars, venues, and street culture at every corner.
Food and Dining There is different types of food everywhere for everyone.
Dorm Life Dorm life is young and exciting!
Academic Rigor Just enough of a push to know you are working hard but flexible enough to enjoy yourself.
Tips for prospective students All prospective students should come prepared to work with all mediums and experience new ways of art and design.
In three sentences CCA is one of the most mixed environments I have ever been. It is an innovative and exciting school filled with so many disciplines. Students are constantly engaging with one another.

Food and Dining CCA doesn't provide a meal plan but cooking with different cultures is a great way to meet new people.
Dorm Life It's a community, everyone knows your name and you aren't just someone who lives in 214
Academic Rigor The teachers are professionals who have worked in the business and can help you reach your goals.
Tips for prospective students Try your hardest not to procrastinate. Also, make sure your work is the best work you submit and even if it's not, believe that it is because once you attend CCA, they can help you.
In three sentences California College of the Arts is amazing,they let their students strive and want the best for them not only as students but as people as well. Also, they have an incredible diversity population, every corner you turn, you meet someone with a different background. To put it shortly, everyone should attend to CCA.

Food and Dining I had to buy my own food from the nearby stores. Make sure to bring your own cooking utensils!
Dorm Life The dorm rooms in Oakland are narrow but the community rooms are spacious and have nice kitchens. I shared a room with another girl during pre-college, and our bathroom connected us to an adjacent double room. At that time the halls were co-ed.
Academic Rigor It was pre-college, how serious can students be? There was some talent and scholarships were offered though.
In three sentences Reasonably priced art college that is located near San Francisco. It has rich resources (alumni, environment etc.) and many different majors to choose from. Try out their pre-college program.

Over the weekend I took in a new movie (yes, I do see them occasionally). As noted on this site before, November through January is when I start seeing new movies again in anticipation of Oscar time and year-end festivals and top ten lists. Not only am I an Oscar obsessive but I am a film blogger and while I can live with not discussing the summer blockbusters I simply have to be in on the discussion of the festival and award winners at year end, like last year's No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood. But I'm not here to do a review of the movie I saw (Happy Go Lucky directed by Mike Leigh) except to perhaps briefly mention how absolutely extraordinary Eddie Marsan is in the role of Scott, the driving instructor. It's a supporting performance so captivating that when he's on the screen he's all you see and when he's not you're anxiously awaiting his return. I sincerely hope he receives a nomination for his intense and driven performance. Anyway, like I said, I'm not here to review it. Rather I'm here to stroll down memory lane and talk about theatres, multiplexes and palaces and why they've been on my mind lately.
Most of my movie going experiences of the last couple of years have been at the renovated A.F.I Silver Theatre in downtown Silver Spring, MD. It's a beautiful old movie palace that the A.F.I. has lovingly restored and kept up in the fashion of the old palaces of yesteryear. There is a coffee shop/bar inside, a concession counter and the feel of quietude. It's not bursting with loud ads, music and the movies don't have twenty minutes of commercials and trailers before them. A few trailers of upcoming A.F.I. showings and that's about it. There are three screens but it's not a multiplex. They have the one large screen with hundreds of seats and then two miniature theatres off to the side that hold about forty people in a small intimate setting.
In jarring contrast, I saw Happy Go Lucky in the local multiplex and felt like heading for the exit before even taking my seat. Packed wall to wall with people, concession lines wrapped around the building, loud music playing in the lobby, commercial bombardments before the feature and the average ticket buyer age somewhere between 14 and 17. I started longing not just for the A.F.I. Silver Theatre but for the glory days of yesteryear when theatres had a single screen, movies played for one week and when they played longer it was because they were "held over" due to popularity. Sometimes, the theatre was enough to make the experience worthwhile even if the movie wasn't.
For instance, I have fond memories of seeing Christine with my brother back in 1983 even though I don't think much of the movie at all. We saw it at the Pinehaven, a local theatre that had a balcony section with big comfortable seats and ashtrays, yes ashtrays, by every seat in the balcony. I'm not glorifying smoking mind you, and I'm sure if I went back now I'd realize how badly it stunk in that balcony section, but it was nice to sit there with my brother, light up a smoke and laugh with and at Christine as it played itself out on the screen before us. The movie left little impression but the theatrical experience remains.
When I returned from Happy Go Lucky I started looking through UCLA's archive of historic locations (yeah, I do things like that) because I had remembered finding some beautiful photos of old theatres there before. Also, I had in mind the name Charles Lee, architect of many theatres in California, because I recently featured a photo of him at the grand opening of MGM's Western Building in December of 1928. As I perused the selection of photos and cross-referenced them on the Cinema Treasures website to see if they were still around I was dismayed to learn that most are now gone. That's too bad. I understand the need for multiplexes in a business driven by ticket sales but I wish every city and town made room for just one old fashioned palatial theatre. Below are some of my favorite photos discovered in my search and I'd be curious to hear from my California based readers if they've driven past any of these that remain standing or even seen a film in one. Some are still operational while others are closed but still standing. I love movie palaces of old. Multiplexes are necessary for business, but the old movie houses left impressions and created memories that in some cases far outlived the movies they showed. Enjoy the photos.
First up is the Tower Theatre, designed by Charles Lee. It had it's grand opening in 1927 and according to that banner, was the first 1,000 seat theatre in America. Still standing in Los Angeles, but hasn't shown a movie since 1988.
The Arden Theatre, pictured here in 1946, opened in 1942 and burned down in 1988. It was located in Lynwood, CA. Architect, Charles Lee.
The Oxnard Theatre located in Oxnard, CA. No dates given on the Cinema Treasures site for this one except that it has been demolished and sat 900. The movie being shown is Judge Hardy's Children from 1938. Architect unknown.
The Fox Theatre in Bakersfield, CA. According to Cinema Treasures it's still up and running. Anyone seen a movie there? I'd love to hear if they have maintained the original decor or not. Architect, Charles Lee.
The Studio Theatre, Los Angeles, CA in 1931. Info given says "demolished" but provides no other dates. Architect unknown.
Finally, Teatro Chapultepec, located in Mexico City, Mexico, pictured here in 1944(three pictures in all). Designed by Theodore Gildred and Charles Lee it has since been demolished. It's a crime.

Stadium Club: Allen's new structure nearing completion
BY Kevin Hageland, email@example.com
Ever since Allen taxpayers approved a bond election proposal in May 2009, the bulk of the attention for those funds has been on the $59.6 million allocated for construction of a new football stadium.
The three-plus-year project is almost complete.
"We've had all this hype surrounding the stadium; some good, some bad and always something about the price tag," said Steve Williams, Allen ISD athletic director. "But the bottom line is we had outgrown the old stadium and this is what the community wanted."
"We are to the point now where there is plenty of anxiety," Williams said. "We need to keep things rolling out here because we want and need this stadium to be finished."
Allen begins the 2012 season Aug. 31 with a home game against defending Class 5A State Champion Southlake Carroll, but there is a bigger time crunch to complete all aspects of the stadium as there is a community open house scheduled for Aug. 23 and a scrimmage against Arlington Martin set for the next day.
The current completion date is Aug. 16. Tim Carroll, the AISD director of public information, said the project will be completed at or below budget.
Community Buzz
Since the bond package was approved, people throughout the city, state and nation have noticed and dissected everything about the stadium, from its cost to its blueprints to pictures of the construction.
Eagles' fans got a closer look when season tickets went on sale.
Originally set up to sell 5,000 season tickets, the district gave in to overwhelming demand and upped that number to 7,500 and then eventually 8,000, all of which were sold with interested parties participating in a lottery system.
"We sold all our season tickets," said Tom Westerberg, Allen football head coach. "And for two weeks straight you had people coming into the athletic office (which is now connected to the stadium) from 8 a.m.-7:30 p.m. and all they could talk about was that stadium."
The administration feels that talk will intensify once the stadium actually opens.
"We wanted to build a facility that is as good as any in the state," Williams said. "Because if you're talking about having the best football facility in Texas, then you're probably talking about having the best high school football facility in the nation."
Inside the Stadium
Eagle Stadium carries a strong resemblance to SMU's Ford Stadium.
The horseshoe/sunken bowl design was concocted and executed by PBK Architects, the group responsible for the Allen Performing Arts Center, which recently opened and was also part of the May 2009 bond election.
"It's very rewarding to see the project essentially completed after spending so much time on it," said Christian Herr, PBK architect. "We started this three years ago and had all these different ideas and concepts at the beginning, so to see them come to life is amazing."
That word was also used by senior running back Marcus Ward when Allen players got to see the nearly completed project.
"It really is amazing," he said. "It looks pretty spectacular to me."
The biggest difference between the old and new stadiums may be capacity.
Whereas the old Eagle Stadium, which opened in 1976, had 7,000 permanent seats and another 7,000 rented bleacher seats for a total capacity of 14,000, the new Eagle Stadium is the fourth biggest in Texas, holding 18,000 people. More fans doesn't mean less room though as the stadium has plenty of open spaces, including an area for the AISD Athletic Wall of Honor. The inaugural Wall of Honor class consists of Bob Curtis, Zenford Jones, Mark Puckett, Jody Reeves, Chester Story, Vincent Turner, Max. O Vaughan and Chanteau White.
"Growing up, one of the biggest thrills I always had was walking in and seeing the field," Herr said. "We wanted to try and get that feeling throughout the stadium, which is why you will see there are no obstructed views anywhere."
Beneath the Stadium
Though Eagle Stadium is referred to as a football venue, there are multiple Allen sports that will benefit from the new structure.
"The district really thought things out well in terms of this being a multi-sport venue," Herr said.
That can be seen in the bowels of the building.
The Allen golf team, which just saw its girls squad win their third state title in the spring, will benefit from driving ranges of both the physical and virtual style.
"We've seen the sketches and blueprints, so I knew those rooms were going to be down there," Westerberg said, "but to actually see the weight room and the spots for golf and wrestling was really exciting."
The wrestling team, which has combined for seven of the past eight dual and UIL team state titles, will move to a new 5,800-square foot mat and locker room.
"It's definitely an upgrade for us," said Jerry Best, Allen wrestling head coach, who also has an office in the stadium. "Now we probably have the nicest facility in the nation when you are talking about high schools and one you could put up against most colleges."
Though it was originally mentioned by coaches that District 10-5A soccer matches would not be played at Eagle Stadium, that could change.
"We have the field lined for soccer, so we are not opposed to playing here," Williams said. "We want this stadium to be open to a variety of events. Football playoffs, soccer tournaments, we are planning on hosting many events here."
That list already includes Texas vs. The World (an all-star football game that will be broadcast live on the NFL Network Jan, 25, 2013), Allen graduation (set for June 7, 2013) and perhaps the Tom Landry Classic, which the district is hoping to lure away from SMU. Eagle Stadium is also negotiating to bring in band competitions and concerts.
Perks for the fans
Those attending the aforementioned events can expect a vastly upgraded experience from the old Eagle Stadium.
Plenty of amenities are included in the new stadium, most notably increases in concession lines (up from six to 42), restrooms (up from 27 to 242) and parking spots (up from 900 to 5,050). According to Carroll, the stadium will have Wi-Fi internet access available for all fans. There is also an area for non-alcoholic tailgating by the visitor's end zone.
There are 12 TVs around the stadium which are not wired for cable, but can broadcast the game as well as one other channel (i.e. weather or big events like The Olympics).
The total number of TVs does not include the two scoreboards, the smaller of which is behind the student section in the home end zone and the larger of which measures 75'x45' with a 38'x23' HD screen in the visitor's end zone.
Focus on the field
That scoreboard is Allen's main concern. Not because of its large HD screen, but because holding an advantage there is the most important aspect of the new stadium.
"We held a team meeting after the Spring Game on the 50-yard line (of the new stadium) and that was a cool moment because it is the first time we lit up the Eagle head," Westerberg said. "But some time has passed since then and now we are focused on the season starting and who we are playing."
Allen begins fall practice Monday and will get some time in the new facility prior to its scrimmage.
"We'll probably practice some out there to get used to the lights," Westerberg said.
The lights will be bright both literally and figuratively when the first game at Eagle Stadium commences Aug. 31, but Allen is more concerned about starting with a victory against the defending state champions than winning over any detractors.
"It's a new chapter for us with the new stadium," Westerberg said. "But it's still the same Allen football."

Prague may not be able to outrank New York, London or Paris in terms of the scale of its designer shopping, but there is a wide variety of outlets serving everything from big-name fashion to exquisite hand-made souvenirs and flea-market curios.
Republic Square and Wenceslas Square offer well-known international brand names and indigenous department store shopping, while authentic artefacts from the much-hated Communist era - Russian army surplus hats, knives and badges et al – are on sale at Lesser Town (Mala Strana) and Old Town Square.
Throughout the city, world-famous Bohemian crystal jostles with hand-made wooden puppets, hand-painted eggs and all manner of handicrafts and folk art and when in doubt, a bottle of Slivovitz makes a good souvenir.
The Corinthia Hotel Prague is only 2 metro stations (approx.5min) from brand new shopping mall Arkady which is full of well-known brand. Not even 10 min by underground you will reach one of the biggest shopping mall Chodov.

Expert Panel At Abt Present Holiday Gadget Gift Guide
From iPad accessories to Google's Nexus 7 tablet, Abt and a panel of tech bloggers help you figure out the perfect gadgets to give this holiday season.
Buying the perfect holiday gift can be tricky — especially when it comes to gadgets. Luckily a panel of tech bloggers and Abt Electronics are teaming up to help you make the right decisions. The panelists include Ars Technica's Chris Foresman, WGN's Marcus LeShock and Nancy Loo, the RedEye's Elliott Serrano and Chicagonista.com's MJ Tam. Sure, a holiday gift can range from a $30 stocking stuffer to a brand new flat-screen TV. But not all gifts are created equal. On the low end are peripherals and gift cards. Anyone with an iPhone or an iPod can use an iTunes gift card to buy music or apps. And if they have an iPhone 5 or the newest iPods, they'll need one of Apple's Lightning to 30-Pin adapters. They cost $30 each, but they're necessary to…

Borrowers who lost homes to foreclosure during the housing bust are starting to buy again.
Since the housing bubble burst, 4.8 million borrowers have lost their homes to foreclosure, and another 2.2 million gave them up in short sales, according to RealtyTrac. While many are still struggling to recover financially, a growing number are starting to bounce back -- and they are looking for a new place to call home.
Susan Edwards and her husband, Dave, lost their Palmdale, Calif., home in 2010 after Susan's severe arthritis made it impossible for her to work her medical device sales job.
The medical bills soon piled up and the couple could no longer afford their $2,300 monthly mortgage payment. In addition, their home's value had plunged 40 percent below the $325,000 mortgage balance.
"We were living under such pressure," she said. "We looked at the numbers and knew we had to default."
After the foreclosure, Susan's credit score had taken a 70-point hit; Dave's score fell even further.
By paying all of the bills on time, they nursed their credit scores back to health. And in December, two years after they lost their old home, the couple was able to buy a new home with a loan backed by the Veteran's Administration. VA-insured loans can be obtained just two years after a foreclosure, according to the Mike Frueh, director of the VA's Loan Guaranty Program.
The new house is a lot like the Edwards' old one, with one big improvement: The mortgage payment is $1,150 a month -- roughly half the amount they used to pay.
"(After bankruptcy), foreclosure is one of the things that hits your credit score the hardest," said Anthony Sprauve, a spokesman for FICO.
Foreclosures and short sales usually knock about 85 to 160 points off a credit score. Scores suffer less if you pay at least the minimum on all your other bills on time and only allow your mortgage payments to go unpaid, said Jon Maddux, the CEO of YouWalkAway.com, which offers advice to defaulting mortgage borrowers.

text: I think Lovie Smith is certainly no worse than Jeff Fisher was with the Titans. That being said, I don't believe we will need to change head coaches at the end of the season unless for some reason we totally peter out and lose enough games to keep us from getting into the playoffs. It could easily happen because we have four upcoming games against teams who currently have winning records (Minnesota twice, Green Bay at home, Seattle at home I think). Of the two teams we play with losing records, those being Detroit and Arizona, both teams could be matchup nightmares, especially the Lions, who sacked Cutler five times on Monday Night Football back last month.

Angela Hargro said that the boutique in downtown Decatur that she opened with partner Melanie Williams was "born out of frustration as a shopper."
"It was so hard to find clothes in my size that didn't look like something somebody's grandmother would wear," Hargro said.
The name Twelve 24 reflects the range of sizes carried in the boutique on East Ponce de Leon Avenue that owners say was created to meet the needs of "curvy women."
"Women want to look good and feel good in what they wear no matter their size," Williams said. "We want to help them to do that."
"As a curvy woman, I grew increasingly frustrated in my quest to find fashion forward clothing in my size," Hargro said. "Shopping in the basement and corners of department stores on three racks of clothing is not a pleasant experience. Women with curves have been neglected long enough. Plus size women deserve to have the same or better shopping experience as women that are a size 2. I love boutiques and I wanted all women to be able to experience the joy of finding a cute outfit in a comfortable and welcoming setting."
The business partners both still work at the health care corporation where they met, but said they hope to soon be in the fashion business fulltime. Friends and co-workers, they decided that they shared an "entrepreneurial spirit." More than two years ago they launched a successful jewelry business that they have merged with the clothing store.
Hargro said Williams' fashion sense is the perfect complement to her eagerness to meet the needs of what she says is an underserved segment of the population. The large number of women attending the grand opening June 21 suggests that many women share her enthusiasm for fashionable clothes in larger sizes.
Williams said that they look for designers who create clothes that would look good on larger women, "not just the same design but in a larger size." A number of their designers are local, they say, and are excited that a shop wants to specialize in the type of fashions they design. The owners describe the selections at Twelve 24 Boutique as "affordable, trendy, one-of-a-kind clothing from top designers as well as accessories, gifts and more."
"Our goal is to provide a great selection of clothing and jewelry that curvy women actually want to wear," Hargro said. "We want to provide exceptional personal service along with private appointment shopping. We will become the shopping destination for women size 12 - 24." The store is open Wednesdays through Saturdays, but owners say they will open Mondays and Tuesdays by appointment.
Hargro said the response from customers has been great. "Shoppers tell us they are so excited to find someone who 'gets it,' who understands what curvy women are looking for," she said.
The partners say the Decatur business community has been helpful, friendly and welcoming. "We chose downtown Decatur because we felt it would be a great location for our target customers, but we have been delighted that the local business community has been so supportive," Williams said.

In the southern part of New Ireland, a large island north of New Guinea, artists created chalk figures portraying both male and female subjects. Housed in small shrines constructed in the forest outside the village, the figures played a central role in a cult of the dead. Variable in their individual styles and attributes, it is possible that the figures were intended to portray specific individual ancestors whose supernatural powers could be harnessed to benefit their living descendants.

It took me a long time to try these shoes out. I have flat feet and I normally buy shoes that suppose to have a lot of foot support. The main problem I have with shoes are when I exercise. I often have pain in the ball of my feet from jumping. I decided to try these shoes and this was the best decision I ever made. The first time I exercised in these shoes I had no pain in my feet. I did have a slow (good)burn in calves. This is great this mean I was working out my calves! One thing I still have to get use to is when I am in Zumba, turning can be slightly difficult. I think this will improve with practice. I also did a short run and they felt great on my feet. Once again: NO FEET PAIN.

I love these from minute one! Plenty of room for my high arches, plenty of sole surface protection, yet not too much. My posture has improved from the daily walking.
These are so much more comfortable than the Vibrams I tried on. I want to wear them everyday!
Keep designing!

5 Places to Stick Your Unwanted Holiday Houseguests
Home? This ain't your home, pal. It's your imposition that you're making on an already overworked relation who isn't expecting much help or financial restitution in return. A survey conducted a few years back by vacation rental website HomeAway (AWAY) found that 22% of holiday hosts think their guests overstay their welcome after a day or less.
They leave stuff strewn all over the house (31%), don't help with the cooking or cleaning (26%), need to be entertained constantly (21%), pick through their hosts' private belongings (2%) and kidnap the television remote long enough to burden the family with their favorite shows about screaming housewives or whiny manual laborers (2%). About 29% of hosts would kick their visiting sibling out of the house this holiday season if they could, while 22% think it's time for their grown child to make his or her own plans for accommodations.
Not that your scratchy old towels, neglected spare room and boring suburban setting are such great shakes for visitors. This year, HomeAway estimates that 38% of holiday travelers plan to stay with a friend or family member on Christmas. Of those, 64% percent aren't overly thrilled about it. A full 29% say they're not looking forward to the lack of personal space, 28% are dreading that spare mattress you picked up from the budget bed store and 5% say you or the other relatives hanging around the house this holiday season are enough of a problem on your own.
Is it any wonder why 29% of hosts have had it with their holiday guests after only a few days, while 51% of holiday travelers feel stressed out by the whole ordeal? We're exhausted just thinking about it and all we had to do was key in a couple of words. For the holiday hosts sacrificing their sanity and personal space in the name of family togetherness and travelers who'll give up hours in travel time and lots of square footage to stay with the ones they love, we offer this advice: Think it over.
