Sylvia Norton, from Maine's MARVEL, says "I think we spend a lot of time talking about quality information but not always walking the talk when it comes to expectations in student work and what we accept without question"
Are you wiling to take that step this year and dip your own toes in the water? Here's your homework:
Find you own state's database collection (paid for by your taxes!). As Cathy said, these are your "free search tools." Who doesn't like a great bargain? You may go to your school library site or you may go to your public library site if you don't have a direct link already in your own bookmarks. You may need a public library card number or some other state identification number.
Now, think of something you are wondering about. Is it your aunt's newly diagnosed illness, is it a question about Iraq, is it the history of a neighborhood fixture, is it something about a book you've been reading this summer? Search in these state funded free resources and see what you find. If you can, we'd love you to do the same search in some other places too, maybe Google, maybe findarticles.com, maybe Wikipedia...
PLEASE share your results. The only way we can continue to learn is by using what Worldbridges.net calls "open source learning" where we all add to the body of knowledge and share, after all this is Teachers Teaching Teachers!
Add a New Note to our Google Notebook that lists your state, your urls used, the names of the databases you used, your search request and most importantly your results and reactions !!
Come back next week, same time, same place and let's see what we can collectively learn. Let's all get messy this week!
Google Notebook for August 22, 2007 Teachers Teaching Teachers:
Now for some show notes and thoughts:
Where should our students be starting?
Cheryl from Maine says: I would love our school librarians to use Marvel first and not answer kids questions in Google until they have done a Marvel search!
Kevin from Florida says: " I do think there is value in students 'starting out' in wikipeida to get the juices flowing....."
Troy from Michigan discovered that one FindArticles search had 1/3 of the links on the first page requiring money to open them. "One concern with Find Articles -- to what extent does that site represent the full range of periodicals and journals available? Moreover, what about the advertisements that are present on that site?"
If we are encouraging students to blog for voice, action and sometimes response, isn't it important that we teach them to arm themselves with accurate and reliable information as a starting point?
Courtney from GALILEO in Georgia says, "... facts and past research - databases; someone's first-hand perspective - blog postings
LindaN also made an important point, "I think it depends on the depth of background knowledge the kids have on a topic."
Sylvia from MARVEL in Maine, reminds us, "I've never had a parent show up for a parent conference because they were worried that their kid didn't pass information literacy."
Later Sylvia also noted, "I do see adults every day who do not know how to find and use good accurate information as part of their daily problem solving."
What do you think? We want to especially thank Joyce Valenza and everyone else who is helping to bring this important topic to the blogosphere and the attention of teachers and librarians and vendors!

Each hand-rolled stick contains a unique combination of traditional and synthetic pigments, combined to bring out their inherent beauty. Colors lay down with minimal resistance allowing several layers to accrue without becoming too thick.
Color Swatches created using heavy to light application and were applied on 100 lb (163 gsm) drawing paper material.
carbazole dioxazine
Dioxazine Violet is transparent and has very high tinting strength. It is a staining pigment, very dark valued when it is used at full strength. Concentrated, it paints out nearly black, but it mixes with Titanium White to form bright, opaque tints of purple. PV23 produces slightly redder shades than PV37. Because the hue can vary with the conditions of preparation and grinding, it may be offered in red shade, blue shade, and so forth.
Dioxazine Violet has good lightfastness. There may be some concern about it fading or shifting in color in tints and washes. Some artists have reported that PV37, a molecular variant, is more lightfast than PV23.
Two molecular variants of Dioxazine Violet, PV23 and PV37, are available. They have similar properties, but mix slightly differently.
Dioxazine Purple, Chromothal Violet, Mauve, Carbazole Violet.
charred animal bone
carbon + calcium phosphate
C + Ca3(PO4)2 or C × CaPO4
Ivory Black is a cool, semi-transparent blue-black with a slight brownish undertone and average tinting strength. It mixes well with any color, and creates a range of dull greens when mixed with yellow. It has good properties for use in oil, can be slow to dry in oil form, and should never be used in underpainting or frescoing. Ivory Black is denser than Lamp Black.
Ivory Black is very lightfast and has good permanence, though it is considered the least permanent of the major black pigments.
Ivory Black has no significant hazards.
Ivory Black is a carbon based black first named as Elephantium, and described in the 4th century BCE as produced by heating ivory scraps in clay pots to reduce the ivory or bone to charcoal. The deviation in names is because the more expensive varieties of this pigment were made by burning ivory, and the less expensive ones by burning animal bone. In the 19th century, the name Ivory Black was finally permitted to be applied to Carbon Black pigments made from bone. True Ivory Black is rare in modern times due to the protection of ivory, and the synthetic variety produced today was discovered in 1929. Bone Black is produced as an industrial pigment.
Animal Black, Blue Black, Bone Black. Paris Black is an inferior grade of Ivory Black. Incorrectly labeled as Frankfort Black.
alpha copper phthalocyanine
Phthalo Blue PB15:1 is a structural variant of Phthalo Blue PB15 that produces more reddish tones.
Phthalo Blues are completely lightfast and stable and are permanent for all paint uses. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Blues have no significant hazards, although those made before 1982 contained some PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).
Developed by chemists using the trade name Monastral Blue, the organic blue dyestuff now known as Phthalo Blue was presented as a pigment in November 1935 in London. Its discovery was accidental. The dark color was observed in a kettle where a dye was being made from a British dyestuff plant. The demand for such a pigment came from commercial printers who wanted a cyan to replace Prussian Blue.
Phthalo Blue Red Shade, Winsor Blue Red Shade
hydrated iron oxide
α-FeO3+(OH) or Fe2O3
Raw Sienna is a moderately dull deep earth yellow with medium tinting strength and excellent transparency. It is one of the basic permanent artists' pigments and is made from a form of limonite clay whose yellow-brown color results from ferric oxides. Raw Sienna is preferable to Yellow Ochre for creating flesh tones, due to its higher subtlety of color when mixed with white. It creates a bright Ochre when mixed with Cadmium Yellow and creates greens and grays when mixed with Ultramarine. Raw Sienna dries quickly.
Raw Sienna has good permanence.
Raw Sienna has no significant hazards.
Raw Sienna has been used as a pigment since prehistoric times, although its current name came about during the Renaissance. It comes from the city of Siena, in Italy, and is short for terra di Siena, meaning earth of Siena. Sienna was famous for the mining and production of earth pigments from the Renaissance until World War II. Due to the depletion of clay deposits in Tuscany, Italian siennas now come from other areas, including Sicily and Sardinia.
Italian Earth, Natural Brown Iron Oxide, Sienna.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
complex silicate of sodium and aluminum with sulfur
Na8-10Al6Si6O24S2-4 or Na6-8Al6Si6O24S2-4
Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue pigment that has the most purple and least green in its undertone. It has a moderate to high tinting strength and a beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and tends to produce clean, though granular, washes in watercolor. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colors in oil and watercolor form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when mixed with white in acrylic form, but mixes well with other colors. The shade varies based on manufacturer. Considered a great color for glazes, it is not suitable for frescoing.
Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic Ultramarine is not as permanent as natural Ultramarine. It may discolor if exposed to acid because of its sulfuric content.
Ultramarine has no significant hazards.
The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra, meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colors on their palettes.
Artificial Ultramarine, French Blue, French Ultramarine, Gmelin's Blue, Guimet's Blue, Permanent Blue, Royal Blue, Synthetic Ultramarine. New Blue describes particular shades of Ultramarine. Armenian Blue and Lazuline Blue are names for genuine Lapiz Ultramarine. Sky Blue is a pale tone of Ultramarine.

Relatively late in the Inter-Ac wrestling season, both host Penn Charter and visiting Springside Chestnut Hill Academy came into last Friday's dual meet still looking for their first league victory.
It was the Quakers who picked a "W" on their home mat, winning 55-24 to raise their dual meet record to 1-3 in the Inter-Ac and 3-3 overall, while SCH went back up Wissahickon Avenue with a mark of 0-4 in the league, and 2-11 against all opponents.
Most of the grapplers who gathered in the PC wrestling room never even worked up a sweat. Between them, the two teams forfeited matches in nine of the 14 weight classes, with SCH alone giving up 42 points in this manner. If the team scoring had only included the bouts actually decided in competition, it would've been a much closer affair, with Charter chalking up one pin, one major decision, and one regular decision for a total of 13 points, while the visiting Blue Devils accumulated 12 points with a pair of pins.
The Quakers have a new head coach this season, David Priest. While at Wyomissing High School outside of Reading, Priest finished sixth in the state championship meet during his junior season, when he wrestled at 152 lbs. Moving on to Division III power Ithaca College, he progressed to the 174 lb. class, placing fourth at the NCAA Championships as a senior.
Before last Friday's meet began, Priest presided as Penn Charter honored the seniors on its wrestling roster, Eric Berger, Adam Costarino, Etienne Dumas, Taylor Jobes, Alex Magers, Kevin Murphy, and Mark Opaliski. Last November Berger and Dumas both signed with Monmouth College, but not for wrestling. Berger will play lacrosse, and Dumas will run cross country.
An eighth PC senior, Jared Ominsky, has wrestled for the Quakers in past seasons but saw very limited action this year due to injury. He was at the scoring table last Friday, helping out PC's very efficient full-time managers, Dolly Segal and Caroline Rogers.
The random-start selection procedure actually picked out the lightest weight class to begin the meet, and in that 106 lb. category Quakers freshman James Frye accepted the first of the seven forfeits offered up by the Blue Devils.
The team score evened out when SCH senior Jordan Wang went unopposed at 113 lbs., and at 120 the visitors would take a lead in the meet (12-6) for the first and only time. Here, Jackson Bistrong scored a quick takedown against fellow sophomore Norman Williams of PC, and ended the bout with a pin with 36 seconds left in the first period.
After this the Quakers charged into the lead, 30-12, as the Blue Devils forfeited to PC's Dumas (126 lbs.), freshman Jack Stephens (132), sophomore David Smith (138), and Jobes (145).
It almost seemed strange when wrestling occurred as the 152 lb. match arrived. Magers, one of the PC seniors, held just a 3-2 edge after one period against visiting freshman Kevin O'Donnell, but in the second round the upperclassman was able to parlay a start in the superior position into a pin with 24 seconds showing on the clock.
In the first match to go the distance, Costarino came out of the first frame with a modest 2-0 advantage, but he kept piling up the points to finish with a 12-0 major decision over SCH ninth-grader Nick Franz. With a forfeit by the visitors to Charter's 170-pounder, sophomore Robert Keehfuss, the home team owned a 46-12 lead in the team tally.
Next, the SCH 182, junior Ben Rubin, encountered PC's Berger, who was moving up two weight classes from his normal slot at 160. The points came slowly, but Berger was able to score a takedown in the first period and an escape in the second, winning 3-0 in the only regular decision of the day.
The Blue Devils picked up their second pin of the meet when sophomores squared off at 195 lbs. Desmond Johnson needed 90 seconds to pin PC counterpart Jelani Buie, bumping the visitors' side of the scoreboard up to 18 points while Charter remained far in front, with 49.
The event ended with a forfeit by each school. Springside Chestnut Hill sent junior Jeff Mikalonis-Lieberman out to accept the six points for the 220 lb. contest, and Opaliski reclaimed them for the Quakers at 285.

Mobile Video | Feature
A new video learning platform at Lehman lets students access course content via any mobile device.
Between lecture capture, flipped classrooms, student video assignments, and other multimedia learning resources, there's an awful lot of video content floating around on campuses these days. Students look up information in video format, record their lives and experiences on video and expect video options in their curriculum — and they want to view it on whatever mobile device they're using at the moment.
"Today's students are the first 'mobile generation,' said James Cross, educator in residence at online video platform provider MediaCore. "They expect the online services that are provided to them as part of their university experience to be available via the devices with which they identify — mobiles and tablets." His assertion is backed up by a September 2013 study from the Educause Center for Analysis and Research, which found that a whopping 76 percent of U.S. undergraduate students own a smartphone, and 58 percent own three or more Internet-capable devices. As the study stated, "Students hold high expectations for anytime, anywhere access to course materials and for leveraging the use of their personal digital devices inside and outside class."
"Look on YouTube," Cross added. "Much of the content is produced by students. Universities are realizing that they need to allow their students to access learning via their mobile device, to share content, and to have the opportunity to do a video rather than write an essay. Over the last 18 months, universities have been focusing on video content because it's one of the best ways to make use of mobile devices."
The growing demand for mobile-ready video recently drove Lehman College, a CUNY liberal arts college located in the Bronx, to seek out a video learning platform. With no method in place for organizing video and audio media, the institution needed a media repository that was easily accessible, matched the look and feel of their website, allowed single sign-on and had lecture-capture capabilities.
More important, Lehman wanted to create a platform on which students, faculty and staff — with the proper permissions — could access, upload and share videos to enhance learning, while making them accessible on any device, for use anywhere.
"We started out with a simple goal in mind," said Brendan McGibney, technical director of the school's Multimedia Center. "We needed a way to organize all of our videos and adapt them to mobile, while protecting access to the videos, so that users could upload and set up video for any device, wherever they were."
In May, Lehman rolled out the MediaCore platform, enabling faculty and students to access and use high-definition videos both inside and outside the classroom. MediaCore provides HD video capture; mobile playback; and automatic adaptation to whatever device the user is on. It also features secure single sign-on (SSO), which, according to McGibney, was paramount for Lehman. With SSO, students use the same name and password they use to access Lehman's e-mail to sign into Digital Connect, the school's video library. This encourages usage, avoids confusion and allows access management — which means that lecturers can limit content to specific groups of students. "Not only does [MediaCore] allow us to organize our media," said McGibney, "it allows us to easily control who can view our media. Its integration with our Active Directory makes it easy to set up with faculty, staff and students."
Anytime, anywhere access to learning content is another big advantage of using video for mobile learning, according to McGibney, who confirmed that students are using mobile video more and more since MediaCore was introduced last spring. Students can stream or download lectures and, in most cases, lectures are recorded, produced and posted the same day.
McGibney added that he is starting to see more interest from professors in 'flipping the classroom.' Lecturers pre-record their lesson and send it to the students to review prior to class. They are then able to spend more time in class on interaction rather than on lecturing.
"Students today are very busy people, with jobs and families," noted Stephen Castellano, Lehman's online teaching and learning technology specialist for the Office of General Studies and Online Education. "Even the commute to the campus needs to be factored in. Students like very much that they have access to their professors' content anytime, day or night, and also have the ability to replay those portions that they do not at first understand."
Every semester, Castellano asks students to provide feedback in a "Student Evaluation of Teaching and Learning," paying particular attention to those courses that are taught entirely online. Castellano said that students now actually request that instructors use rich-media content in their courses, and that responses to Digital Connect are consistently very favorable. One student commented: "The video lectures are carefully produced, and it shows. Everything is clear. I see and hear everything." Another student wrote: "I can watch the lectures on my phone anytime, anywhere — on my schedule."
For those colleges and universities considering a video learning platform, McGibney recommended the following:
McGibney said that he would be more than happy to talk to any school interested in discussing video learning tools and technology. "I wish I had done it myself," he concluded.

Hilegendary Duff's Musical Return
See, if you hadn't heard, Hilary Duff has been pregnant for the last ten years (approximately), but even while she's looking radiant as the most adorably enormous pregnant person ever, she's been back in the studio working with some major talents on an album that I'm expecting to blow my mind apart. This week, I'm taking a look back at Hilary Duff's criminally underrated career as the pop princess to beat -- and making some educated guesses about what we can expect on her next studio album. Buckle up, because the return of the Great Hilegend is quite literally what dreams are made of.
Before the era of Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Demi Lovato, there was Hilary Duff, the OG millennial Disney princess-turned-pop star. If her musical career feels like a distant memory, I can't hold it against you since Hilary has spent the last several years working on other projects, like guest starring on "Gossip Girl," shooting a handful of respected independent films, writing a pair of young adult fiction novels, launching a clothing line with DKNY, getting married to hunky hockey player Mike Comrie, and most recently, getting spectacularly and glamorously pregnant. Clearly, she's a Renaissance woman, but despite her acting roots -- Hilary first rose to prominence playing the title role in the wildly successful Disney Channel original series "Lizzie McGuire" -- for me, her primary strength has always been her work as a recording artist. Hilary might not be a Beyonce-level vocal talent, but that's never stopped her from making addictively listenable dance-pop music, which she was doing way before it was back in vogue. Actor-turned-singers are often unfairly attacked for being pedestrian or manufactured or talentless, but that doesn't change the fact that their musical instincts are sometimes right on the money, as, I think, Hilary's have been.
Hilary Duff's 2002 debut (not counting the holiday album released a year earlier), Metamorphosis, was bubblegum pop with a few surprising highlights, most notably the fuzzy The Matrix-produced pop-rock jam "So Yesterday," which fits nicely among the Avril and Ashlee singles of the day, and the swirly, downtempo techno of "Come Clean," which memorably served as the theme song for the MTV series "Laguna Beach"; listening today, it's unarguably one of the most interesting hits from that era of Top 40 pop music, which was dominated by anodyne guitar pop. Her self-titled follow-up in 2004 continued in the pop-rock vein, but failed to produce any major charting singles.
But it's with 2007's Dignity that things get interesting. Dignity is one of those albums that's revered by many pop music enthusiasts for its forward-thinking sound and sonic consistency; even now, at five years later, it sounds modern and lively. Slick and focused, fueled by vibrant electro beats and clever lyrics, the polished dance sound of Dignity is all the more striking given the musical climate from which it emerged. In many ways, 2007 was the final year that urban pop really dominated the mainstream charts -- for context, the No. 1 song on the Hot 100 the week of Dignity's release was Akon's "Don't Matter" -- and the glossy sheen of this self-assured pop record didn't fit with what was popular at that time. Hilary co-wrote every track on the album save one, mostly with the help of master popsmith Kara DioGuardi, with whom she'd collaborated on past songs (including "Come Clean"), and accordingly, the lyrics reflect the feelings of a young woman forging a path through the crass, shallow world of the entertainment industry. The crisp electropop of "With Love" became Hilary's highest-charting single to date, and tracks like "Stranger" and the title track became cult favorites among pop nerds, who compared Hilary to Kylie Minogue. (Her 2008 best-of collection featured two new songs -- "Reach Out" and "Holiday" -- both of which are equally prescient in their hypnotic dance vibe, especially the tropical synths of "Holiday.")
Lady Gaga is frequently credited with bringing dance-pop back to the United States after urban pop reigned supreme for much of the 2000s, and she did, ushering in a new wave of artists drawing inspiration from dance and house influences. But still, the sleek dance production of Dignity -- which wasn't really recognized in 2007 for its progressive sound -- prophesies the dance invasion that followed in the coming years. And now, five years later, with dubstep overtaking the four-on-the-floor beats that have become rote and sleepy in their predictability, Hilary's back in the studio -- and she's working with some interesting producers.
Because even in her very, very pregnant state, Hilary's been recording tracks for an upcoming album, due (hopefully!) later this year, and she's hooked up with some unexpected collaborators: Not the predictable Dr. Lukes and RedOnes who are making contemporary dance-pop hits, but instead, a handful of pop-rock experts like Matt Squire, who shaped the sound of Panic! At the Disco, Boys Like Girls, and 3OH!3, and Martin Johnson, himself the frontman of Boys Like Girls who has also penned tracks for The Cab and Hot Chelle Rae. (Intriguingly, Martin Johnson also co-wrote my girl Taylor Swift's stunningly gorgeous track "If This Was a Movie," which might just be my all-time favorite Taylor Swift song.) Hilary has also been writing with Ali Tamposi, who co-wrote Kelly Clarkson's recent disco-rock smash "What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)," and Damon Sharpe, who penned the glittering "Get Outta My Way" for Kylie Minogue's most recent album. These are diverse collaborators, and not the obvious ones, which suggest that Hilary's next album could go in a number of different directions.
Personally, I'm gunning for a rock-influenced dance sound, still beat-driven but with a little more crunch than the pristine Europop that's fallen into favor as of late -- and given the respective backgrounds of her various studio partners, this seems like a plausible bet. But regardless of the final product, I'm confident that Hilary will deliver, with the maturity imparted by a few years away from the game and a whole new generation of fans to court. And if motherhood takes precedence and we never get that next album, well, we'll always have our Dignity.

IRWINDALE – Playing off a famous Dr. Seuss book and the theme of the 124th annual Tournament of Roses Parade, "Oh, the Places You'll Go," Kaiser Permanente hopes its entry will inspire the millions of viewers watching on New Years Day to get active.
Like the title of the float, "Oh, the Healthy Things You Can Do," Kaiser officials say 2013 will be about finding your own thing that helps you achieve wellness.
And whether it's tap dancing or running triathlons, Kaiser has chosen eight individuals to ride on the float who they feel best exudes the message.
"As an organization we are deeply committed and compassionate about inspiring others to enhance their health and well being in mind, body and spirit. We're sending a message with this float that you can find your thing in anything, whether it be dance, swinging on a swing or whether it be relaxing and reading a book, or take a moment to meditate. It's all about finding inner peace in mind, body and spirit," said Linda Mirdamadi a former ballerina and now Chief Wellness Officer at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center.
Four of those riders hail from the Inland Empire, including Darin Miller, an operating room registered nurse at Kaiser Permanente Ontario Medical Center, who has been on a multi-year journey to lose more than 100 pounds and now participates in marathons and triathlons.
Then there's tap-dancing trio of Marge Avants, 88; Donna Evans, 80; and Jacqueline Wells, 77; who are members of the Silvers Stars. The all-senior tap dancing crew is based out of Rancho Cucamonga. The three ladies, all Kaiser Permanente members, say tap dancing has kept them going and feeling young.
"Not only does it keep me active but it keeps me happy. Things happen in your life as you get older but this is a way of going and turning it all off and doing your thing," said Evans, a Rancho Cucamonga resident. "It gives you energy and something to look forward to."
Wednesday morning, inside the Fiesta Floats warehouse, volunteers began the task of decorating the 55 foot long, 18 feet wide float with the fresh flowers and other materials including peach lentil beans, white sweet rice, green parsley flakes, and lavender sinuata statice. They will be there everyday from now until Sunday applying the final touches.
The float features a 26-foot tall Cat in the Hat, who is accompanied by Sally and Conrad who are on swings flanked on each side the of the famous feline, Thing One and Thing Two, and Karlos K. Krinklebein the fish, all characters from the best-selling Dr. Seuss books, movies and educational programs.
On the float, The Cat in the Hat takes a moment to read to Thing One and Thing Two amidst a colorful garden. Swinging above the trio are Conrad and Sally, while the float riders such as Avants will sit on a swing, teeter-totter, and bike. The float was designed by the award-winning artist Raul R. Rodriguez and marks the eighth entry for Kaiser.
Asides from the riders, 16 Kaiser physicians and employees will be walking and dancing alongside the entry to a routine which was choreographed by Jason Cheng, an anesthesiologist at Kaiser Permanente Downey Medical Center.
The group met on the weekends to learn the dance, said Mirdamadi who is among those dancing.
Mirdamadi said she hopes the new year will bring a new perspective for those looking to get fit.
"You can't tell somebody to go out and run marathons but maybe you go out for a 30-minute walk. Just have fun with it. Be a kid again, do what puts a smile on your face and don't make exercise a chore," she said.
A success story
Being in the health care industry, Miller knew he couldn't teach people how to be healthy if he wasn't.
At his heaviest, Miller weighed 270 pounds with all the attached health issues – borderline diabetic, high blood pressure, he even had to have his gall bladder removed.
"As an orderly, I looked like the open heart patients I was taking to surgery," the 43-year-old Ontario resident said.
So Miller used his emergency credit to opened up a gym membership, working out five days out of the week.
He then started finding different ways to stay active, first with running and then hiking. About two years ago he discovered the challenge of participating in triathlons.
"I was hooked," he said.
He has since completed marathons, trial half marathons, and on Dec. 1 he completed his first Iron Man distance triathlon of 140 miles.
As for the float experience, Miller said his father Ned, who is like a 12-year-old trapped in an 80-year old's body, is just as thrilled by his nomination.
Miller said his completely honored and hopes his story will hit a chord with others.
"I was heavy person trapped in a lifestyle that was not healthy," he said.
It's never too late
About seven years ago, Wells retired from her job as a registered nurse and the one thing she didn't want to do was sit at home and be a couch potato, glued to the TV.
"I thought 'I better get into some kind of activity'," she said.
That's when the Rancho Cucamonga resident joined the Silver Stars tap-dancing group which practices out of the Bruelte Center once a week.
"It's never too late," says Wells, who only just started dancing when she retired. "It keeps me young, it keeps me moving and its just a lot of fun. It keeps my mind thinking with all the steps we have to learn."
Like Wells, Evans did not have any training until she was 65 years old and now she finds herself tap-dancing down the aisles of the grocery store or in her kitchen.
"It kinds of helps women say you don't have to sit home," she said about her group, adding that it gives her more energy.
The 16-member group is led by Avants who has been tap dancing for about 25 years and prior to that she was a competitive ballroom dancer.
All three ladies say they are honored for the distinction of riding on a float.
When Jan. 1 rolls around, Evans who is a member of the Silver Stars, says she will be able to check something off her bucket list — riding on a float.
"I was so thrilled. We've been to the parade but I never thought I'd be a part of it. So, when this came up I thought 'yes, rain or shine'," she said. "It's a blessing and I'm honored to be a part of if this."
All three say they will have plenty of family members watching them along the parade route.
Raised in Pasadena, Avants is no stranger to the parade. She can still recall, as a girl, going and decorating the floats and then lining up at 5 a.m. on the south side of Orange Grove Street to be a spectator. She was selected among the trio to sit on one of the two swings at the front of the float.
"We're all really excited, especially if you see can see what we're going to wear. Oh my," she says. "Those costumes are going to be fun."
A cheerful outlook
At just 14 years old, Madison Friend has overcome Stage 2 cancer all while maintaining a positive attitude.
In June 2011, the La Mirada teen thought a bump on her shoulder was just a muscle knot but a visit to the doctor revealed she had lymphoma and it had already spread to her bone. Within a week, Madison was in surgery getting it removed. Less than a month after being diagnosed she had already started chemotherapy. The 14-year-old said her memory about that time is a little hazy, but said doctors were aggressive with the treatment to stop it and make sure it didn't spread.
"It all happened so fast I didn't have time to think about it," she said.
But in the weeks, months since her diagnosis, Madison can recalls some things: the generosity and kindness displayed by others.
"Everyone was really supportive," said Madison, who is smiling the entire time as she recounts the experience. "It showed me how amazing people are. Everyone wanted to help, even people that I didn't know."
There was a lot of people who would drop off hats and blankets. As a way to give back, she along with some friends started Madison Friend Foundation, a nonprofit that provides cancer patients with stuffed animals- particularly dutch hounds which are Madison's favorite.
She still gets chemotherapy on a monthly basis and spinal taps every three months, which does make her ill. But Madison exclaims, "other than that, I'm still pretty good."
She'll be done with her treatments in July.
Madison was actually suppose to ride on the float last year but an illness prevented her from participating. She did, however, go and see the parade.
A fan of the Dr. Seuss books – her favorites are "Green Eggs and Ham as well as Cat in the Hat," Madison she was thrilled to be brought back.
This year I knew I was going to ride the float so I was really excited, it's a great opportunity that not a lot of people get to do," she said.


text: Hello to all, It seems today i am a little or more stupid. I am trying to write a bash script wich should change the actual dns servers with new ones if ping geths ping: unknown host domain.com or a loss ower 20% or ping fails. If is someone here who wants to help me or knows a script to do what i nees please post it here. Will be much apreciate. Thank you all in advance. P.S. The script i wrote and does now work is: Code: #!/bin/bash PING=`ping -c 5 yahoo.com | grep packets | awk '{print $1 $4 $6}' | cut -c 1-3`; RASPUNS="550"; DNSACT=`tail -n 2 /etc/resolv.conf`; DNS1=`cat dns1 > /etc/resolv.conf`; DNS2=`cat dns2 > /etc/resolv.conf`; DNNS1=`cat dns1`; DNNS2=`cat dns2`; if [ "$PING" -ne "$RASPUNS" ]; then { if ["$DNSACT" = "$DNS1"] then { echo $DNS2; } else { echo $DNS1; } fi } else { echo "yahoo.com raspunde"; } fi in file dns1 i have nameserver x.x.x.x and nameserver x.x.x.y in file dns2 i have nameserver w.w.w.w and nameserver w.w.w.q This script should do the following: ping 5 times yahoo.com. If the result is not equal with 550 (means 5 packets sent, 5 packets received and 0% loss) it check's if actual dns servers are the same with the dns servers from dns1 file. If they are the same the script should put in /etc/resolv.conf the dns servers from file dns2. If they are not the same the script should put in /etc/resolv.conf the dns servers from dns1 file.

You may have scrolled down to the bottom of one of our blog posts over at Infragistics at some point and noticed the little Community Server logo in the page footer. We've been using Community Server to host our blogs for some time now, and it's such a great platform that we're looking to leverage it a bit more. To do what we're thinking of, you guys will need to be able to log in... and what kind of user experience is it for you to have two IG.com accounts? Enter Single Sign On (SSO), and lucky for us, Telligent sells a custom module that does just that. Setting it up was a cinch: just drop the assembly in, tell Community Server which cookie to use, and make sure that your main site (the authenticating site) is setting the cookie correctly. And, it really was that simple! Well, almost...
The out-of-the-box solution did work great for almost all scenarios. There were, however, a few problems we had:
Cookie Timeouts
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the custom cookie authentication module can be configured to provide any type of sliding expiration behavior to the cookie. That means that after a user logs in on the main site and the cookie is created, they only have as long as the cookie lives to be "singlely signed on" and once it expires, they'd be redirected back to the main site to re-authenticate themselves. The most obvious and easiest fix would be to just set no expiration date on the cookie. Sure - that'd work, but I prefer the security of having users automatically signed out after a period of inactivity, at least by default.
So, I decided to write a module to check for the cookie on each request, and update the expiration date accordingly. BAM - sliding expiration. Below is the code I used to do it:
The most important method, obviously, is the KeepSSOCookieAlive() method. It's the heart of the module, but pretty straightforward.
I decided to try to get the CookieDomain programmatically, but didn't really get into too complex of an operation to get the correct domain. If for whatever reason this didn't work in production, you could easily override the guessing by setting it in the AppSettings.
I'm getting the actual cookie name used by the provider - by actually retrieving the provider itself and asking it which cookie it's looking for - so that there won't be any confusion.
News Gateway Authentication
Ok, great - we've got the SSO for the main Community Server instance working like a charm, so I move on to getting Telligent's News Gateway service into place. After reading through the docs for a bit, I see a very ominous line saying something to the effect of "Custom (cookie-based) Authentication won't work with the News Gateway." Ugh! I mean, it makes sense, but... Ugh!
Of course, the first thing I do is try it and hope it works. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't. The next thing I do is take a step back, look through what's available, and spot Telligent's Form-based membership provider, which (I think) is the default provider in the Gateway. The Cookie provider works by creating a Community Server account for a user that has logged in to the main site. The problem with Forms (username/password combination) Authentication is that the Community Server account that is set up knows nothing about your password from the originating site, nor can it ask the originating site - that it knows nothing about - to authenticate you... unless you help it.
The solution was obvious: override the ValidateUser(string username, string password) method of the Community Server Forms Membership Provider. I wasn't going to paste the code because it's just a simple override, but here's an example snippet:
That's right - just a regular ol' override of the membership provider. Then you can follow it up by copying the Membership provider section in the configuration file (CommunityServer.NntpServer.Service.exe.config or CommunityServer.NntpServer.Console.exe.config, depending on which one you're using) and replace the CSMembershipProvider with your own. Then, BAM - you've got username/password authentication against whatever data source you like.
I hope this post can help you out if you were coming across some of the same problems we were!

Study and Practice of Meditation
This eBook is available from the following online stores
Tibetan Interpretations of the Concentrations and Formless Absorptions
Study and Practice of Meditation gives a vivid and detailed account of the meditative practices necessary to develop a calm, alert mind that is capable of penetrating the depths of reality. The Buddhist meditative states known as the concentrations and formless absorptions are best known in the West from Theravada scriptures and from Vasubandhu's Treasury of Manifest Knowledge. In this book the reader is exposed to Tibetan Buddhist views on the mental states attained through meditation as described by three contemporary Tibetan lamas. The book discusses the ways in which certain meditative states act as bases of the spiritual path as well as the nature of meditative calm and the prerequisites for cultivating and attaining it. In addition to reviewing and translating Tibetan sources, the author considers their major Indian antecedents and draws comparisons with Theravadin presentations.
"Working under the guidance of Jeffrey Hopkins, Leah Zahler has here produced a definitive introduction to the Tibetan interpretation of the concentrations and formless realm absorptions. Of interest to scholars of meditation, comparative religion, mind training, and altered-states-of-consciousness, this work will productively make available to readers information that will enable them to appreciate the Tibetan articulation of these states of meditation and their overall place in the Buddhist path." —Harvey B. Aronson, PhD, author of Buddhist Practice on Western Ground and founding codirector of Dawn Mountain, Houston, Texas
"An excellent resource for anyone devoted to the study or practice of Buddhist meditation . . . highly recommended." —Wisconsin Bookwatch
"This tightly organized text is one of the broadest comprehensive elaborations of the steps, stages, and processes of the practice of meditation. . . . This book is destined for must-read status for years to come." —New Age Retailer
"This is the volume to keep on a reachable shelf in your library . . . to browse through either before or after a sitting, or to study meticulously as part of a scholarly program. . . . An excellent reference book." —Nanci Rose-Ritter

I love a good mystery.
I fell asleep multiple times. But my husband really liked it :)
Loved the movie! My friend almost fell asleep, but I thought it was riveting!
Do I have to give it any stars !! . Terrible, , honestly one of the worst movies I have seen , BIG disappointment . Wonderful cast with one or two lines each , very tongue in cheek. One good thing my husband had a lovely sleep .
Saw this movie today, absolutely loved it.
Went last week to see this movie with my husband. Jeez -and that's not good. Dozed off TWICE, as did hubby and I NEVER doze of in a movie, well, very rarely. The setting was lovely. That's it! The plot was pathetic. Johnny Depp doesn't really explain why he's frightened for his life at all.
I don't even REMEMBER Judi Dench having lines. It was a good cast and NOTHING more. REALLY felt let down. G-d knows how much Depp was getting for that. He had the least to say and do. It's an insult to bad movies!
A remake is a remake is a remake; the original is also hard to live up to; and this one didn't do well.
So-so. Purist Agatha Christie fans should lighten up - who cares if Poirot was embellished. A movie should not necessarily carbon copy the book - Branagh was fine in the role. A bigger problem may have been the fantastical improbability of the entire mob murder and their attempt to cover it up. It just seemed kind of far fetched to me. But kind of enjoyed it still. 3 stars.

Charlie Manuel isn't the most expressive guy in the world, but there are rare times when he can't suppress a grin, and in that moment it is pretty easy to tell what he is thinking. Wednesday night, he had one such moment, as he broke down lefthander J.A. Happ's complete game masterpiece against the Rockies. Colorado manager Jim Tracy called it "one of the best games pitched against us this season." Considering that they have faced Dan Haren, Derek Lowe and Roy Oswalt, that is pretty lofty praise. Manuel, of course, was asked about Happ's future in the rotation, which has been in doubt with Pedro Martinez nearing a return to the big leagues.
"One of these days I'll answer it correctly," Manuel said, declining to do so this time.
He had spent the past couple of days swatting away that question. Prior to the game, he got testy when a reporter approached the subject. But last night, he couldn't stop grinning.
I asked Manuel what Happ's performance showed him.
"I think he showed me he wanted to stay in the rotation," Manuel said.
The final line: 9 innings, 4 hits, 0 runs, 10 strikeouts, 2 walks. Oh, and a double in the bottom of the eighth that sent the crowd into bedlam. They had already given him a standing O as he walked off the mound in the eighth, noticing that Ryan Madson was warming in the bullpen. But Manuel sent him back out for the ninth, despite the fact that Happ had thrown 110 pitches. He finished with 127, the last of which smacked into Carlos Ruiz's glove for a called third strike, a fastball that was clocked at 94 miles an hour.
It'll be interesting to see what the Phillies decide to do with Pedro Martinez and Jamie Moyer. But James Anthony Happ took care of business last night at Citizens Bank Park. And, really, isn't that what the stretch run is all about?

A Broomfield judge has upheld the results of the embattled Nov. 5 election.
Judge Chris Melonakis released his decision Thursday evening. In his decision, he said Broomfield acted in good faith when conducting the election and that the results should not be tossed out.
Melonakis pointed to confusing new voter residency requirements and the closeness of the election results as factors that contributed to the election chaos.
Though the election was far from perfect, it was not illegal, he said.
"The steps taken (by Broomfield) were a reasonable, if imperfect attempt to insure full extension of the franchise and prevention of voter fraud," Melonakis said in his ruling.
Melonakis' decision is the result of a challenge to the election brought by pro-fracking group Broomfield Balanced Energy Coalition and Tom Cave, a member of pro-fracking group It's Our Broomfield, Too.
The Nov. 5 election has been mired in controversy since a five-year ban on fracking passed by just 20 votes. Melonakis' decision means the ban remains in effect.
The ban, Question 300, was put on the ballot after grassroots group Our Broomfield collected enough signatures to have it appear. Our Broomfield has said more research must be done on the potential health impacts of fracking, and the five-year ban offers more time for that research to take place.
Plaintiffs in the election challenge case wanted Melonakis to declare that Question 300 did not pass because of numerous election flaws. BBEC now plans to pursue "legal and other means of preserving election integrity and constitutional rights in Broomfield," according to a statement from BJ Nikkel, a spokeswoman for BBEC.
Broomfield, which wanted the judge to declare that the election results are valid, said the razor-thin outcome was the result of a close election, not flaws in the election.
Bill Tuthill, Broomfield's city and county attorney, said the judge's ruling underscores Broomfield's effort to run a fair election.
"We said all along that there was no basis to overturn the results, and the court has agreed," he said.
In a news release from Broomfield, officials said they now plan to update and improve their elections process. City officials had delayed the start of the elections assessment in order to wait for the outcome of the trial.
In the statement, Broomfield City and County Manager Charles Ozaki said that Broomfield now will move forward with hiring a "qualified, independent consultant to perform a comprehensive third-party assessment of its election procedures."
When the assessment is completed, it will be presented to the City Council, he stated.
In the ruling, released Thursday evening, Melonakis said the election "was remarkably transparent," even though the vote-counting process was described by several witnesses as "chaotic."
Yet Nikkel said plaintiffs strongly disagree with the ruling.
"Obviously, we are disappointed and disagree with the court's findings. We have a very different point of view of what transparency is and we don't believe that this election was transparent," she said in a statement.
"We had hoped that there would be consistency required of Broomfield election officials in counting ballots from county to county and within Broomfield itself."
During the trial, plaintiffs argued Broomfield mishandled at least 20 ballots that were either counted illegally or not counted when they should have been. Some of those ballots in question include military and overseas ballots and ballot envelopes that were delivered from Adams County and were not counted because Broomfield did not receive the envelopes before the deadline of 7 p.m. Nov. 5.
During the trial, Broomfield admitted it had miscounted 10 ballots because of confusion over residency requirements.
Of those 10, three voters had not lived in Broomfield long enough to vote on Question 300, but their votes on the question were accidentally counted, he said.
Another six voters were eligible to vote on Question 300, but their votes were not counted because election workers believed they had not lived in Broomfield long enough.
An additional voter changed her name, but Broomfield did not update that information in time. Her vote was not counted because her signature did not match the name on the ballot.
The judge found that many of Broomfield's chaotic vote-counting troubles came from confusing new voter registration laws, which changed in May after House Bill 1303 was passed.
Melonakis said the 1303 changes caused confusion over which Broomfield voters were allowed to vote on Question 300.
The 1303 rule change allows people who have lived in Colorado for just 22 days to vote in state elections. But Broomfield requires 30-day residency to vote on municipal questions, such as Question 300.
The two eligibility requirements made it hard for Broomfield election judges to determine if some voters were eligible to vote for both state and municipal ballot measures, Melonakis said.
The Colorado Secretary of State's Office released a scathing report in November that criticized Broomfield for "improperly counting ballots cast by ineligible electors; and improperly rejecting ballots cast by eligible electors."
Yet Melonakis said the Secretary of State's Office report held little weight in court because the facts presented in the report were not presented during the trial.
Melonakis also said the Secretary of State's Office did not provide adequate direction or guidance for Broomfield as it was trying to figure out how to implement new voter registration rules.
"Clearly, a standard plan was not available to the municipality since no rules had been timely promulgated by the secretary of state in sufficient time to plan the election and distribute ballots," he wrote.
Melonakis ruled in Broomfield's favor, but said the elections process was far from perfect.
He criticized Broomfield's handling of the controversial "mystery box" or "anomaly box" of ballots, which was a box used to collect ballots deemed not countable in the election. The contents of the box were not publicly examined until January, and some voter advocacy groups said the box's contents should have been accounted for during the election instead of being catalogued later on.
Melonakis called the handling of the box "sloppy and not the best practice," but said it was not illegal.

A longtime Georgia resident with fraud convictions from his days managing car dealerships is overseeing a Bluffton gas station that he plans to purchase if he can come up with $4.4 million in financing.
Peter Iodice, 62, signed an agreement to run the Ultimate Car Wash and Shell station off Bluffton Parkway last November while on probation from a 2007 conviction in South Carolina for selling a $100,000 stake in a car dealership without authority. Iodice pled guilty to the charge of obtaining a signature under false pretenses.
That felony conviction, reduced from a 10-year sentence to five years probation with restitution, followed a 133-day jail stretch in North Carolina for passing bad checks and a March 2007 extradition to Tennessee, where Iodice was asked to answer for missing money and cars at a dealership he managed, according to a local newspaper report.
While in the custody of Tennessee authorities, the state of illinois launched its own suit against Iodice for fraud and a judge sided with a group of plaintiffs who said his dealership never honored contracts to pay off their trade-ins, according to court documents.
Most recently Iodice violated his probation last year when he lied to his parole officer about his involvement in questionable convenience store business dealings, but South Carolina released him from probation in February after he put up reimbursement money, said Pete O'Boyle, a spokesman for the S.C. Department of Probation, Parole, and Pardon Services. O'Boyle said he did not know the details of those business deals Iodice was involved with.
Iodice insists his legal troubles are behind him, and he provided documentation to Bluffton Today showing a dramatic reduction in the penalties from the Illinois suit and his eventual dismissal from a civil suit against his Tennessee dealership.
"I think if you go back to anybody or any company 30 years ago, you're going to come across deals that did not work out as planned in the beginning," he said.
A subsidiary of Compass Energy Holdings, Iodice's public holding company, is under contract to manage Bluffton's Ultimate Car Wash and the adjacent Shell station. Iodice needs to come up with the money by February to close the purchasing agreement after extending the original November deadline, said Nickey Maxey, whose family trust owns the station.
A February 2012 prospectus for the holding company, Compass Energy Holdings, claims that, "to the best of our knowledge," the company's executives have not faced criminal convictions in the past 10 years.
Iodice deflected blame for the contradiction to the New York firm he hired to write the prospectus, saying, "I wouldn't know why that was put in there."
Maxey said he was only aware of the Illinois suit when he signed the agreement but was impressed with the $4.4 million offer price and Iodice's business plan. Since Iodice started managing the station, he's been exceptional, Maxey said.
"He's completed everything he said he would do before he said he would do it," Maxey said.
Iodice says he first started in the gasoline and convenience store businesses after graduating from the University of Georgia in the mid-1970s and wishes he never would've left it for the dealership venture.
"I ran into unknowns I didn't anticipate," he said.
It's around that time that he ran into his first troubles with the law.
David Kilpatrick, a retired investigator for Georgia's Oconee County, arrested Iodice in 2001 for allegedly selling cars and merchandise that he didn't own, but the charges never stuck.
"I have no idea why an indictment wasn't sought," he said. "I think more than anything else it was such an embarrassment that the true owners allowed something like this to happen."
District Attorney Ken Mauldin of Oconee and Athens-Clarke counties did not return phone calls from Bluffton Today seeking an explanation.
In 2001 Iodice's holding company was called Compass Energy Corporation and was focused on acquiring underperforming car dealerships, according to SEC filings.
He set about doing this in small towns such as Burnsville, N.C., Manchester, Tenn., Cheraw, S.C., and DuQuoin, Ill.
North Carolina authorities arrested Iodice in June 2006 for passing bad checks while there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest in South Carolina, according to court documents.
The state sought a felony count for a worthless $25,000 check issued for an ownership stake in a car dealership, said Deputy John D. Robinson of the Yancey County Sheriff's Office. He was also accused of advertising ownership stakes without clearance from the majority owner, Robinson added.
Iodice was released in October of 2006 after serving 133 days, Robinson said.
"Ater that, other people wanted him," he said.
The affidavit Iodice signed months later when pleading guilty to obtaining a signature under false pretenses in South Carolina said he was not the legal owner of the dealership "at the time of this transaction" and "had no authority to sell any part of this business."
But Iodice said it wasn't that simple.
The partner who bought a 20-percent stake asked for his money back after about 90 days because he wasn't happy with Cheraw or the level of business the dealership pulled, Iodice said.
"When I refused, he went to the police," Iodice said.
The dealership wasn't completely paid for, so he pled guilty on a technicality because he couldn't afford a legal defense, he said.
Although Iodice was extradited to Tennessee shortly after the South Carolina conviction, a civil warrant there for failing to pay off a trade-in went nowhere and dealership creditors later dropped him from another civil suit, according to court documents.
Iodice's co-defendant in the Illinois case, a man Iodice says he entrusted to run the dealership, paid down much of the $95,000 in restitution ordered against the dealership for fraudulent practices while the claimants' insurers took care of another bundle, said Scott Mulford, deputy press secretary with the Illinois Attorney General's Springfield office.
That left $7,535 owed, according to a document verified by Mulford.
Iodice said the people he did business with often felt taken advantage of because they hadn't really studied the contracts.
"That's the way they said it," he said. "I didn't feel people were taken advantage of. They had plenty of time to review documents prior."
Iodice changed the name of Compass Energy Corporation to Compass Energy Holdings in 2009 when he adopted the strategy of acquiring gasoline retailers. As before in its earlier forms, Compass Energy Holdings sought investors in a private stock offering.
Iodice said the company approached past shareholders or business contacts about investing, but a Michigan man filed a complaint in March alleging predatory practices when he says a representative from the company approached a brother stricken with ALS and his 92-year-old mother with promises of big rewards when the company goes public.
Gerald Persha, a retired businessman, said his concern grew after reading Compass' February 2012 prospectus, which lists a net loss of $636,000 since its inception, with no revenue, about $18,000 in assets and more than 20 risks for potential investors.
Iodice noted that new ventures often take time to turn a profit. He returned a $2,900 investment to Persha's sister-in-law after being interviewed by Bluffton Today.

Maginot Technologies needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 145 designs submitted by 41 freelance designers.
We're looking for a unifying graphic theme for ManhattanWest, an upscale mixed-use community featuring 700 residences, shops, restaurants, and offices on 20 acres in southwest Las Vegas.
ManhattanWest is amixed-use project featuring residences, shops, restaurants, and office space on 20 acres located 10 minuteswest of the Las Vegas Strip.
The Design Project: We're looking for a graphic theme that will unify the interior signs and other building ID both inside and outside our four story mid-rise buildings.
It's an opportunity for you to create something with a much longer life than a typical logo or web icon.
There are several different sign styles in the building (unit number, directional, mail room, etc.). We are looking for you to create one universal theme that we'll adapt the winning design to all of the sign formats ourselves.
The finished product you'll deliver will be more conceptual. You don't have to worry about how the signs gets built or produced- just what the general look and feel will be.
The easiest way to represent your theme will probably be to show us what it would like in one sample sign.
If you want to show different designs for a few different sign styles as in the PDF (link below), feel free, but it's not necessary.
While the projectis located 10 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, you'll want to draw ona more urban, sophisticated design palette, and avoid anything that says Las Vegas or has a distinctive New York feel.For example: A little art deco influence could work-- topping the sign with a profile of the Chrysler Building wouldn't.
Our Customers: ManhattanWest buyers will typically be evenly split male and female, 25-55,professional, singles or younger couples, and emptynesters.
Design Direction:You'll find a PDF here which shows the lobby design of our buildings as well as a sample board with some of the materials we're using. The bolder and busier material will be used sparingly for accent, so be careful about drawing too much on them.
You'll also find three sample concepts. We like concept A much more than we like B and C but we are open to looking at any ideas. You can view renderings of the building exteriors at ManhattanWest.com. Please note that you're designing for the more traditional looking four story buildings - NOT for the nine story glass and steel building.
Because we're not using these concepts as final art there is no requirement that you create the images in vector format, or even digitally. If you're more comfortable doing color sketches and scanning them, that's fine.
Materials: As the concepts in the PDF show, the signs can be dimensional, multi-layered, and can use different materials. If you have a concept that you envision would use different layers or materials calling these out in the concept so we know what you're thinking is helpful but absolutely necessary. For example, if you want to use a piece of frosted plexiglass as the background, draw an arrow to it in your concept and label it.
If you know that you want something to look like copper, you don't have specify 1/16" sheet copper, but can just say something like "Copper Metal Finish" and we'll take it from there.
If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask before you start designing. If you want specific feedback on your design, please ask. We're happy to give it but won't necessarily comment on designs that are clearly not a fit unless the designer requests it when submitting.
Thanks for your interest, we're looking forward to another successful contest.
- Upscale
- Urban sensibility
- Plays well with the different architectural styles on the building facades.
- Plays well with the sample board in the PDF provided.
- Call out any materials that are not obvious
- Las Vegas or NY themed concepts
- Designs that fit our modern glass/steel building instead of the four story more traditional style mid-rise buildings.
- Anything that looks like concept B or concept C in the concept PDF.
- Doesn't need to be in the same family as our ManhattanWest logo
- Cute
- Colors that don't take the sample board and rendering in the PDF into account.

Skimboarding in the fading Southern California sun is one of those quintessential summer images. Except when it's taking place miles from the beach.
That's what happened Tuesday afternoon when a water main broke near the UCLA campus, trapping people in parking garages, washing over the school's storied basketball arena and giving college kids a reason to behave like college kids.
The 30-inch pipe ruptured under Sunset Boulevard around 3:30 p.m., according to the Associated Press, unleashing millions of gallons of water on nearby areas.
A waterfall formed on the stairs outside of a flooded Pauley Pavilion, where a $132 million renovation was completed less than two years ago.
The geyser spewed for more than three hours and opened a hole about 10 feet wide in the street. Fire crews were called in to help drivers stranded in parking garages. Some cars had water up to the hood. No injuries have been reported.
Here's some video footage of the wild afternoon:
And below are some still images:

Getting Help/Contact belongs to the Contact / Contribute pages, not into this tutorial itself (it only bloats up the page) - what do you think? Dhaumann 17:05, 23 December 2006 (CET)
I have to say that this seems to be duplicating much of intent of the Tutorials section in general. The topics are pretty eclectic (nearly random?) and would each make nice top-level tutorials where they would be more visible and likely gain more editing love as well as readership. thoughts?
Why do we have this tutorial on this page? It's KDE3 only. Surely there's a better place it could be put?

Trans Breakthrough:
Six-Speed Automatic
TCI's 6X Six-Speed automatic-based on GM's 4L80E, which is itself based on the indestructible Hydramatic Turbo 400 box-is a dream come true for hot rodders wanting a trans with the ultimate in strength, compactness, and efficiency. Through some extremely innovative (and patented) modifications to GM's four-speed 4L80E unit, TCI has made a bulletproof six-speed automatic that can withstand up to 850 hp with no sweat. Starting out with a computer-controlled 4L80E, TCI changes the planetary gearset to alter the gear ratio spread, then applies the overdrive clutches in Second and Fourth gears to fill in the extra gear ratios. Major modifications to the valvebody fluid circuits allow the extra gears to operate, and additional clutches and steels are added to the package to beef up the torque throughput. TCI combines the reworked trans with a special controller and harness, which is dyno'd and tuned all together as a system prior to shipping. TCI also offers lockup converters (and even a multi-disc with a billet case for high-hp cars) to complement the 6X.
The ratios of the 6X Six-Speed trans are: 2.97, 2.23, 1.57, 1.18, 1.00, and 0.75. The overall shape is identical to a 4L80E, and only slightly longer that a Turbo 400. Essentially, you can bolt the TCI 6X into most any car that can accommodate a Turbo 400-cars with a small trans tunnel (Camaro, Nova, etc.) may need some fabrication. Other cool options are a billet aluminum paddle shift, or an Outlaw shifter with dual up and downshift buttons on the handle (nice for a more drag-oriented ride). TCI tells us the 6X costs $6,065, and includes the harness and controller as a complete system.
Cool Tools:
Moroso LeakDown Tester
Much like a doctor uses a stethoscope to assess the health of his or her patient, the engine builder, serious enthusiast, or racer uses a leakdown tester to deduce the health of a high-performance engine. Poor ring seal, valve seat damage, and valveguide wear can all cause a loss of power, but figuring out the exact source can sometimes leave you scratching your head. This tool can help. Via a simple pressurized air connection to the combustion chamber-connected at the spark plug port-a leakdown tester can detect the sealing integrity of any cylinder, and when used properly, can even tell you exactly where that leakage is coming from. Moroso's new leakdown tester-PN 89606-is ideal for the hot rodder or racer, with its rugged construction and compact design. Only top-quality components are used in its design, and it's calibrated for high accuracy and repeatability. Housed in a stand-up black powdercoated steel case to make taking readings easier, the tester comes with 14mm (long), 14mm, and 18mm (short) adapters, a tapered plug adapter, and whip lines.
MSD Wiring Guide
If you've ever called the MSD technical hotline (915-855-7123) for help with an installation or a tech problem, it's a good bet your tech guy was reading from this bible: MSD Ignition Wiring Diagrams & Tech Notes. This healthy 166-page tome is stuffed with helpful stuff, from the obvious (like the firing order of many engines), to the technically advanced (like wiring a sophisticated drag racing ignition with all the bells and whistles). It's been compiled from decades of tech phone calls and online inquiries, and pretty much anything that's been asked by a customer is answered right here in step-by-step detail, and accompanied by diagrams and charts. MSD knows that the DIY guy has to be a jack of all trades, and that vehicle wiring (and ignitions in particular) can present a major technical hurdle for enthusiasts. As such, this book (available as MSD PN 9615 for $3 from MSD) should be considered a must-have for every garage, large and small.
MSD Ignitions
Steering Tech:
Chevelle Rack Cradle
The new Flaming River power rack-and-pinion cradle kit for Chevelles has over 6 inches of travel, and provides the factory's full lock-to-lock turning radius that is often lacking from other rack-and-pinion conversions. Flaming River's cradle kit is a completely new unit built in the USA, and allows for an adjustable pinion angle. Designed for '68-72 Chevelles and other GM A-bodies (Buick Skylark, Pontiac LeMans/Tempest/GTO, and Olds Cutlass), the kit uses a travel bar design to properly position the steering pivot points to their original location and deliver the original turning radius. The travel bar system features a stabilizer guide clamp that locates the inner tie-rod ends at the original pivot points. Moreover, the '68-72 Chevelle system uses the factory tie rods to connect the travel bar to the spindles. It installs in the original steering box and idler arm mounting holes, and does not require any cutting, drilling, or welding, and installs using basic handtools.
Flaming River also offers small-block Chevy Ultra Angle headers, which have been specifically designed to leave room for the steering shaft and universal joints when installing a rack-and-pinion system. The Ultra Angle headers are available uncoated (FR50001) and coated (FR50001C). The Chevelle cradle kit includes the rack/cradle assembly, a floor shift tilt key column, wiring adapter, grade-8 bolts, universal joints, support bearing, power steering pump, and polished aluminum reservoir. Flaming River's power rack-and-pinion cradle kit costs $2,750 with tilt column, and $3,170 with tilt key column.

Power Brokers:
Dart Horsepower In A Box
Dart has created complete top end packages, which include Dart heads and COMP Cams camshafts, along with virtually everything else you need to make your short-block or crate motor really come to life. You may remember how we built up a Dart SHP 400 in our January issue using the SHP short-block and Dart's top end kit. We still had to collect all the valvetrain gear, but now Dart has simplified things further by offering a limited number of power systems that include the valvetrain gear too. Dart knows that selecting components that will work together properly can be a challenge, and if you don't get it right, performance will suffer. Dart's Horsepower in a Box kits are the result of building and testing hundreds of engines to ensure optimal performance in an affordable package.
You get a pair of legendary Dart cylinder heads, fully assembled with premium stainless steel valves, spring, retainers, and related hardware, an aluminum intake manifold, valve covers, gaskets, fasteners, and spark plugs, along with a COMP Cams camshaft, lifters, and timing set. Cylinder heads are available in cast iron or aluminum, and hydraulic flat tappet or roller lifter camshafts are available. It's a money-saving, time-saving move that will plaster a smile all over your mug!
Mustangs Only
Ididit Tilt Column
Ididit's all new Ford top shaft and Ford turn signal switch steering column for the '67 Ford Mustang is a direct bolt-in that includes year-specific style knobs and handles. They also include the male and female plugs with terminals, and it uses the stock underdash mount with a pre-packaged floor mount, making this a slam-dunk same-day install. Ididit's new 1967 Mustang column will accept a stock Mustang steering wheel or an aftermarket wheel with an adaptor. This era-specific Mustang steering column will work with either your stock box or an aftermarket rack, so specify what you need when ordering. The all-new floor shift, eight-position tilt, American-made column is available in paintable steel, chrome, and black powdercoat.
Engine Bay CloseOut Panel
Undercover Innovations now has engine bay closeout panels for all early Mustangs, including "Eleanor" style '67-68 ponies. What started out as a fix for overheating has become a new way to add some class to an overlooked area on any car. All Undercover Innovations panels are made with aircraft-grade anodized or polished aluminum. Many different stock designs are available (including for GM vehicles), but customizations are also welcome. Pricing is quite reasonable too; the one shown (for '67-68 Mustangs) runs about $89.
Undercover Innovations
Yukon Grizzly Locker
This new Grizzly mechanical locking unit from Yukon Gear & Axle features an 8620 chrome-moly case and 8620 chrome-moly internals for added strength. According to Yukon, the Grizzly Locker's patent-pending design reduces common locker failures. Yukon Gear & Axle says these lockers are designed to stand up to the huge power and tall tires of today's performance vehicles, with the internals being hand-fitted for faster engagement. They're targeted for drag racing, circle track racing, off-road, and towing. Applications include Ford 9-inch (28- and 31-spline), Chrysler 11.5-inch, GM 11.5-inch, D44, GM 14-bolt truck, and Rockwell 2.5 ton, with more applications coming soon. All units are assembled in the USA. We checked around on the web, and found the Ford 9-inch unit with 31-spline axles for $485 from Randy's Ring & Pinion.
