Photographer Jim McCrary was on the verge of shooting one of his most famous images when he stopped to ask singer Carole King if the cat sleeping across the room could be part of the tableau.
He remembered the results of a Kodak survey that found "after children, the most popular thing people photographed was their own cats," he later said. "I saw a cat, and I wanted to get something good."
When King assured him that her pet was docile, he carried the tabby and its pillow to the window ledge and into the frame. By the third click of his camera, the cat had slipped away but McCrary had what he needed: a picture of both the barefoot songstress and her whiskered feline that became the cover of King's landmark 1971 "Tapestry" album.
McCrary, a rock photographer who created more than 300 album covers for A&M Records, died April 29 of complications from a chronic nervous system disorder at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Palo Alto, said Colleen Pollard, his niece. He was 72.
"He was so important both to me and my artists," said record producer Lou Adler. "Conceptually, he always understood what the person was about and was able to photograph their personality. A perfect example of that is the 'Tapestry' album.... The idea of having the cat, that brought a personal feeling to it."
Largely self-taught as a photographer, McCrary joined A&M Records in 1967 and was the label's chief photographer over the next seven years. He had an "artistic eye" and a "sensitive touch," Herb Alpert, the musician and record executive who is the "A" in A&M Records, said last week in a statement to The Times.
"You learn a lot about people as a photographer," McCrary said in a 1971 Times feature about King. "When you turn the camera on some people, it is a frightening experience for them. It brings out their insecurities." But King had been "as natural as anyone" he had photographed.
For the Carpenters' 1969 debut album, "Offering," McCrary drove north on Highland Avenue and posed the serious-looking duo on the side of the road. When the album was repackaged as "Ticket to Ride," he shot them, smiling this time, on a rented sailboat in Lake Tahoe.
He took an informal photograph of the Flying Burrito Brothers on the A&M lot in Hollywood for the group's self-titled 1971 album. By then, rock-country pioneer Gram Parsons had moved on from the band, but photos McCrary took of Parsons in Nudie Western wear — complete with marijuana-leaf embellishment — to promote the Burrito Brothers' 1969 album became the most-requested images from McCrary's archive.
From 1974 through 1990, he operated his own photo studio in Hollywood on La Brea Avenue, where he lived upstairs and devoted a room to model trains. He specialized in hard-to-shoot still-lifes and portraits.
Musicians were still on the roster in the late 1970s when a shy Michael Jackson arrived for a photo session for his "Off the Wall" album. The shots ended up not making the cover because Jackson was unhappy with how he looked in them, Pollard said.
To loosen him up, McCrary asked his niece, then 18, to dance with Jackson. As they were about to start, Jackson's "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" was playing on the radio but was not yet a hit.
"Jim did not know Michael's music and changed the radio station," Pollard said. "I yelled, 'No, that's his song.' The looks on Michael's face and his manager's were priceless."
It was a prime example of why McCrary soon left rock photography behind, Pollard recalled: "He said he just didn't feel connected with the bands anymore."
James Willard McCrary was born Aug. 31, 1939, in Los Angeles County, the middle of three brothers. His father was a pigeon farmer in Chino.
At El Monte High, McCrary was the school photographer. He studied at UC Berkeley but left to serve in the Army and worked in intelligence in Japan in the early 1960s.
McCrary also attended Pasadena City College and Art Center College of Design, where he taught in the 1970s. He started his career in local photo studios and worked in Rockwell International's photo department.
In 1990, he co-founded Pix Camera, a Hollywood store that specializes in equipment for professional photographers.
"He was a big, big fellow," Adler said of the 6-foot-4 McCrary. "For his physical size, he never was imposing. He seemed to fit in, and a lot of the times, you didn't even know he was there — a great sort of tribute to the way he photographed."
McCrary, who moved to Palo Alto from Glendale about 18 months ago, had one son from his only marriage, which ended in divorce.
In addition to his son, Jason, he is survived by two brothers, Wylee Dale McCrary and Doug McCrary.
Services are pending.

As Christians, we believe in God. Very good! But do we believe God? That's a better question because there's a big difference between believing in God and actually believing God. The story of Abraham challenges us to actually believe God with such a deep trust in the faithfulness of God that we respond in complete obedience to God.
In Genesis 15:1-7 we really discover how much faith Abraham will indeed have in God. To understand better, there are two considerations that will help us read this scripture not just as a biblical story but as a word from God to us:
- As far as Abraham's life matters, at this point he has left his country, people, and father's household as God told him to do, with the assurance of God's promise of future blessing. Yet he is still without a son, something seemingly necessary for the promised blessing he has received from God which has yet to be fulfilled. Added to this stress, Abraham finds himself in the middle of violent conflicts without an ally since he has rejected a deal with the king of Sodom. So God's word, "Do not be afraid…I am your shield" (v. 1) asks of Abraham to trust God and depend completely on him to persevere in life, and await for God to fulfill his promise in his own time and own way. The question for us is can we learn to trust in God, depending on his providential guidance and provisions in life?
- As far as the canonical context matters, the book of Genesis begins with the story of creation which includes Adam and Eve, who, in the beginning, lived in faithful dependence upon God. Of course, that changed when Adam and Eve chose their way over God's way. The full consequence of this choice is played out in Genesis 11 where humans completely reject God assume as they assume a divine role by attempting to make a name for themselves. The story of Abraham begins as a reset button for creation in which God will once again gain a people who will live faithfully to God, beginning with and through the blessing of Abraham. The question for us is whether we choose the way of those people from Babel, trying to make our own way, or the path of Abraham, as people who believe God?
This begs the question of what does it mean to trust in God and believes God? The answer to that question is found in the details of the story.
Can God get an "Amen!"?
Though Abraham is living in a hostile climate and has yet to receive the fulfillment of God's promise, God only reaffirms his promise to Abraham. What God does not do is say how he will fulfill that promise when Abraham still has a barren wife, when exactly he will fulfill that promise, and what will take place along the journey toward the fulfillment of that promise. Yet Abraham "believed" God (v. 6)!
The Hebrew word for "believed" in v. 6 is where we get our English word "Amen" from. Abraham is giving his "Amen!" to God but what does that mean? It doesn't mean that Abraham understands everything about God's promise. It is more Abraham's way of resigning himself to accept God at his word and go along with God even though he doesn't understand everything. So even though Abraham has every reason to be afraid, he is making a choice of faith that will now allow God to become "…the voice around which his life is organized" (Brueggeman, Genesis, 140.). Said another way, Abraham has decided that he will live his life by the script God has composed.
Fear kills, but Faith lives!
This is where we must get real about the impasse between faith and fear. This passage invites us to let go of our fears and believe God as well. It's an invitation to faithfully live into the script God has composed…a script that carries our cross as we follow Jesus, trusting God's promise of eternal life in Christ. And that takes a lot of faith….faith that gets obscured when fear is the voice we listen to. So this passage also presents a challenge: will we believe God or fear the world?
With that in mind, let's remind ourselves about the difference between fear and faith. Fear is what we do when we live with the illusion that God is not in control and therefore we must take control. Obsessing over national politics, the economy, protecting our rights to free speech and rights to bear arms is what we do when we are driven by fear. Faith is what we do when we believe God is in control.
Thankfully we have a promise from God given to us in Jesus Christ, crucified and resurrected, that frees us to live in faith by the power of the Holy Spirit!
Here is the message I spoke this past Sunday, January 20, 2013 before the Columbia Church of Christ (MP3 formatted): Genesis 15_1-9 _Believe!

While many people tend to wait until spring to give their living spaces a good cleaning and a new look, there's no rule that says you can't improve your home during the winter. One space you may want to improve in the coming months is your bathroom. If it's been quite some time since you've brought in fresh discount window treatments, fixtures and tiling, there's no better time to upgrade your space than now. Here are some trends to take advantage of as you revamp your bathroom this winter.
1. Give your shower some TLC
Luxurious tubs and shower heads are becoming all the rage, according to the Marshfield News Herald. As homeowners look to upgrade their bathing experience, you can do the same to fall in line with one of the hottest trends in bathroom design.
2. Let in the light
This tip can be applied to all rooms of your home to create a more inviting feeling. Think of bringing in sheer drapes or cellular shades to easily allow more natural light to flow into the space on a regular basis. More illumination can also highlight the decor, fixtures and tiling in your bathroom.
3. Address your flooring
Are you ashamed to look down when you walk into your bathroom? If so, think about upgrading the flooring in your space sooner rather than later. More homeowners are leaning toward laminate and wood in the bathroom to create a luxurious feeling in the room.
You don't have to wait until spring to give your bathroom a look that wows your family and guests alike. These trends and tips can help you create an interior that impresses everyone who uses the space. Furthermore, many of them are easy to incorporate in a short amount of time.

November 13, 2013 + On Relations with One's Neighbors, Part 2
by St. Ambrose, Elder of Optina, translated from Optinskii Tsvetnik: Izrecheniia prepodobnykh starttsev Optinskikh (Moscow: St. Tikhon's Orthodox University, 2008), 221-228, www.pravmir.com/on-relations-with-ones-neighbors/.
On Relations with One's Neighbors, Part 1
10. Just as one pot bumps up against another pot, how much more does it happen that people living together bump up against one another. This comes about especially when people have different viewpoints about things: one thinks about one thing one way, while another thinks another way; one is convinced in his own ideas, which seem solid and fundamental to him, while another believes in his own understandings.
11. People look at the visible, but the Lord sees the inner arrangement of man and the actions of his conscience, both in relation to others and in relation to himself. When we cannot bring benefit to others for some reason, then let us at least work for our own spiritual benefit.
12. Although it is difficult and very insulting to suffer unfair opposition from people who should be defending the truth – not little people, but great and elevated ones – we will take comfort in the unprejudiced judgment of the One Judge of the living and the dead.
13. He who gives way receives three ounces and a half , but he who insists on his rights receives only one ounce, and sometimes not even one, when he gets upset and upsets another.
14. In the spiritual life it is an altogether good thing to explain oneself punctually and prudently, and to ask forgiveness punctually, so as to bring peace to one's soul and give occasion for others to do the same.
15. Each of us ought to work more on himself, on his own soul, and for his own spiritual benefit, because, according to the words of the Apostle, each of us will give account of ourselves to God. We are confused by the fact that we are more inclined to chastise others, striving not only to convince but also to dissuade, and to make a demonstration by many different arguments.
16. When we are reproached and blamed for that of which we are entirely innocent, then we must turn our thoughts to those occasions when we were guilty before God or before people, and for the attainment of forgiveness of our sins we must forgive the unfairness and offences inflicted on us by our neighbors.
17. I will say this briefly. Contrive to acquire life and avoid death, living with those with whom one is living, and trying to have that which the Apostle commands: i.e., goodness, mercy, compassion, and love, which is the fulfillment of the law. How? Listen to the same Apostle: Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2).
St. John Chrysostom the Archbishop of Constantinople
Grace shining forth from your lips like a beacon has enlightened the universe. It has shown to the world the riches of poverty; it has revealed to us the heights of humility. Teaching us by your words, O Father John Chrysostom, intercede before the Word, Christ our God, to save our souls!
Kontakion, Tone 6
Having received divine grace from heaven, with your mouth you teach all men to worship one God in Trinity. All-blest and venerable John Chrysostom, we worthily praise you, for you are our teacher, revealing things divine!

The factor on the top of the table is the simpler one. When we perform Gauss' method on a linear system, ignoring the constants on the right side and so paying attention only to the coefficients on the left-hand side, we either end with every variable leading some row or else we find that some variable does not lead a row, that is, that some variable is free. (Of course, "ignoring the constants on the right" is formalized by considering the associated homogeneous system. We are simply putting aside for the moment the possibility of a contradictory equation.)
A nice insight into the factor on the top of this table at work comes from considering the case of a system having the same number of equations as variables. This system will have a solution, and the solution will be unique, if and only if it reduces to an echelon form system where every variable leads its row, which will happen if and only if the associated homogeneous system has a unique solution. Thus, the question of uniqueness of solution is especially interesting when the system has the same number of equations as variables.
A square matrix is if it is the matrix of coefficients of a homogeneous system with a unique solution. It is otherwise, that is, if it is the matrix of coefficients of a homogeneous system with infinitely many solutions.
The systems from
Giuseppe Zanotti Platform Suede Booties Outlet Cheap Price Visa Payment For Sale Clearance Amazon BqE05sH
, Sebastian Milano LaceUp Suede Boots New Styles Online Cheap Newest PO6Z4sAvUL
, and Top Quality For Sale Dolce amp; Gabbana Metallic Leather Pumps Buy Cheap Cheapest HNz9MvF
each have an associated homogeneous system with a unique solution. Thus these matrices are nonsingular.
The Chemistry problem from
Mulberry Leather RoundToe Boots Cheap Popular With Mastercard Cheap Online Low Shipping Fee Cheap Price Visit New For Sale Get Authentic Sale Online oNZGzezkI
is a homogeneous system with more than one solution so its matrix is singular.
The first of these matrices is nonsingular while the second is singular
because the first of these homogeneous systems has a unique solution while the second has infinitely many solutions.
We have made the distinction in the definition because a system (with the same number of equations as variables) behaves in one of two ways, depending on whether its matrix of coefficients is nonsingular or singular. A system where the matrix of coefficients is nonsingular has a unique solution for any constants on the right side: for instance, Gauss' method shows that this system
has the unique solution and . On the other hand, a system where the matrix of coefficients is singular never has a unique solution— it has either no solutions or else has infinitely many, as with these.
Thus, "singular" can be thought of as connoting "troublesome", or at least "not ideal".
The above table has two factors. We have already considered the factor along the top: we can tell which column a given linear system goes in solely by considering the system's left-hand side— the constants on the right-hand side play no role in this factor. The table's other factor, determining whether a particular solution exists, is tougher. Consider these two
The most common implementation of MVP is one which uses a Passive View (a view which is for all intents and purposes "dumb"), containing little to no logic. If MVC and MVP are different it is because the C and P do different things. In MVP, the P observes models and updates views when models change. The P effectively binds models to views, a responsibility which was previously held by controllers in MVC.
Solicited by a view, presenters perform any work to do with user requests and pass data back to them. In this respect, they retrieve data, manipulate it and determine how the data should be displayed in the view. In some implementations, the presenter also interacts with a service layer to persist data (models). Models may trigger events but it's the presenters role to subscribe to them so that it can update the view. In this passive architecture, we have no concept of direct data binding. Views expose setters which presenters can use to set data.
The benefit of this change from MVC is that it increases the testability of our application and provides a more clean separation between the view and the model. This isn't however without its costs as the lack of data binding support in the pattern can often mean having to take care of this task separately.
Although a common implementation of a Passive View is for the view to implement an interface, there are variations on it, including the use of events which can decouple the View from the Presenter a little more. As we don't have the interface construct in JavaScript, we're using more a protocol than an explicit interface here. It's technically still an API and it's probably fair for us to refer to it as an interface from that perspective.
There is also a
Brand New Unisex Online Buy Cheap Wide Range Of Acne Studios Leather Pistol Ankle Boots Finishline Cheap Online Outlet Release Dates Hot Sale Online 8FWKH
variation of MVP, which is closer to the MVC and patterns as it provides data-binding from the Model directly from the View. Key-value observing (KVO) plugins (such as Derick Bailey's Backbone.ModelBinding plugin) tend to bring Backbone out of the Passive View and more into the Supervising Controller or MVVM variations.
MVP is generally used most often in enterprise-level applications where it's necessary to reuse as much presentation logic as possible. Applications with very complex views and a great deal of user interaction may find that MVC doesn't quite fit the bill here as solving this problem may mean heavily relying on multiple controllers. In MVP, all of this complex logic can be encapsulated in a presenter, which can simplify maintenance greatly.
As MVP views are defined through an interface and the interface is technically the only point of contact between the system and the view (other than a presenter), this pattern also allows developers to write presentation logic without needing to wait for designers to produce layouts and graphics for the application.
Depending on the implementation, MVP may be easier to automatically unit test than MVC. The reason often cited for this is that the presenter can be used as a complete mock of the user-interface and so it can be unit tested independent of other components. In my experience this really depends on the languages we are implementing MVP in (there's quite a difference between opting for MVP for a JavaScript project over one for say, ASP.net).

"We were harassed, we were bullied and we were body-shamed for $7.25 an hour," said former cheerleader Ainsley Parish, who is among the five who are suing. "The Houston Texans should not have given us a uniform if they did not want us to become an army."
The lawsuit, which was announced in a press conference on Friday, is being brought by prominent attorney Gloria Allred.
"These women all had the same dream: They all aspired to be an integral part of the Houston Texans. And they looked forward to promoting the team," Allred said during a press conference. "But their dreams were shattered by the reality of their lives as Houston Texans cheerleaders."
Allred saidthe women were harassed, intimidated and forced to live in fear." She said they were threatened with being fired if they spoke out. The cheerleaders were also instructed not to speak with players and weren't paid for making public appearances.
One of the cheerleaders, Hannah Turnbow, was allegedly assaulted by a fan and was told to "suck it up and act like nothing had happened," according to Allred. She said there are photos of the injury the cheerleader sustained.
Turnbow said she and her teammates were expected to attend events where no transportation or security was provided.

Milk, metabolism and making it pay
Why do Scandinavian cows have good genes? How often do dairy cows have calves? Why are cows that produce more milk at greater risk of becoming infertile? I found answers to all these questions and more when I went to visit Professor Claire Wathes at the Royal Veterinary College.
It has been a summer of discontent in the dairy industry. Cuts to milk prices have hit the headlines and left many farmers fearing that they will no longer be able to make a profit from dairy farming. When profit margins are being squeezed, efficiency is paramount. Could research that sheds light on a costly area of wastage in the industry be used to inform and improve farming practice?
Claire Wathes is Professor of Veterinary Reproduction at the Royal Veterinary College. Her research, funded by the Wellcome Trust and others, focuses on ruminant reproduction, in particular the relationship between nutrition and reproduction in cattle and sheep. In a recent paper she has documented the mechanisms by which metabolic status – a measure of nutrient balance, body fat coverage, insulin-like growth factor levels and so on – affects fertility in the dairy cow.
Fertility is a critical factor in dairy farming. A high milk yield relies on a cow's ability to calve and conceive again quickly and easily. Cows have a nine-month gestation period and produce milk for up to a year after calving, but the amount of milk produced dwindles over time. In order to produce as much milk as possible, a cow should calve every twelve months – which, if you do the maths, means that around two to three months after calving the cows are served (mated or, more often, artificially inseminated) and must conceive again. If they do not conceive within a reasonable time frame, they have to be culled.
The number of cows culled in the UK is a cause for concern within the industry. It is a welfare issue, but it is also a great waste of resources. An average Holstein dairy cow only recoups her rearing costs during her second lactation (Wathes 2012). Yet 15 to 20 per cent of dairy cows are culled in their first lactation, mainly due to poor fertility (Brickell & Wathes 2011).
Nutrition, fertility and genetics
Infertility problems in dairy cattle are multifactorial: genetics, age and health are just some of the factors that can influence an animal's ability to conceive and remain pregnant. But Wathes's extensive research in this area has shown that nutrient shortage is one common cause of reduced fertility.
"Cows have been genetically selected to produce a high milk yield. Large amounts of nutrients are targeted into milk production and, particularly in early lactation when milk production peaks, the cow will loose body weight and develop what we call a state of negative energy balance. This is when more nutrients are going into the milk than are being taken in in the diet. When this happens, the cow's fertility becomes compromised.
"This problem can be eased with good management, but as milk yield goes up it becomes very much more difficult to ensure the cow has an adequate nutritional intake."
Until recently, UK breeders selected animals almost exclusively on the basis of milk yield. Then, Wathes explains, people began to realise that they'd gone too far.
"Fertility was getting worse, disease incidence was getting worse: by focusing on milk alone farmers were ending up with animals that were more susceptible to all kinds of problems. So now when breeders select bulls to use for artificial insemination they take into account other factors as well, including measures of lameness, mastitis, and fertility in the daughters which the bulls produce.
"The Scandinavians, as it turns out, had always kept an eye on these other factors so some Scandinavian breeds have actually remained more fertile. Some UK farmers are now using those Scandinavian genetics to improve fertility in their cows."
Poor nutrition can affect fertility indirectly by increasing a cow's susceptibility to diseases such as mastitis or uterine infection.
"After calving, the uterus in the majority of cows develops a bacterial infection. If the cow is in good metabolic status she is normally able to clear that infection, but it seems that cows that are in a compromised nutritional status just don't have the ability to mount an effective immune response, so the initial infection doesn't clear up, it just rumbles on. The resulting inflammation can go on for months. When you then try to mate the cow, there is not a good uterine environment for the embryo."
Knowledge is power
Wathes's research also highlights the importance, and lasting impact, of the cow's physical condition in the time leading up to calving.
"The immediate period around calving is absolutely crucial. There is a dip [in metabolic status] associated with calving. Healthier cows bounce back much more quickly. Cows that have a lower metabolic status before calving take longer to recover. When these cows are rebred after calving, those animals that have not recovered sufficiently will fail to conceive again."
Information such as this could help farmers to improve the performance of their herd by investing wisely in both better nutritional management and improved genetic selection to improve fertility. But it's vital that this information is communicated in the right way. Wathes is currently working with DairyCo, a levy-funded NGO for the UK dairy industry, to make sure that her work, and that of other researchers, is translated into useful advice for the farming community.
"We may be keen to improve the health and welfare of the cows, but there's no point preaching high-minded ideas that are totally unrealistic. At the end of the day the farmer needs to make a profit. It's got to work."

The conclusion to a two-month-long tournament needed just 25 seconds.
In the headliner of Friday's Bellator 73 event, Attila Vegh won the "Summer Series" light-heavyweight tournament with a quick win over veteran Travis Wiuff.
Bellator now has released a video of the fight.
Bellator 73 took place at Harrah's Tunica Hotel and Casino in Mississippi. The main card, including Vegh vs. Wiuff, aired on MTV2 following prelims on Spike.com.
Wiuff (68-15 MMA, 4-1 BFC), who was hunting for career win No. 69, told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) this week that anything less than a victory in the tournament final would mean his long career has been a failure.
Unfortunately for the hulking 205-pounder, Vegh (25-7-2 MMA, 4-0 BFC) struck quickly. The Slovakian fighter, who submitted Zelg Galesic in the opening round before a narrow split-decision win over Emanuel Newton in the semifinals, ended his tournament run in decisive fashion.
With the victory, which can be found above, Vegh has earned a future date with Bellator's reigning light-heavyweight champion, Christian M'Pumbu.

Diane Keaton is an Academy Award–winning actress, mother, photographer, writer, and singleton. While she's been linked to numerous Hollywood greats, including Warren Beatty and Al Pacino (not to mention her most legendary romance with the one and only Woody Allen), she never married. In 2001, she famously publicly denounced the need to pursue romance and happily lives her life as one of the most successful actresses on the silver screen.

Oprah Winfrey
Despite her tumultuous upbringing, Oprah triumphed (without a ring on her finger) and skyrocketed above abuse, poverty, and unhealthy relationships to become one of the most powerful and wealthy women in the 20th century. While she does have the support and love of longtime boyfriend Stedman Graham, there are few greater advocates—and role models—for being a strong, single, and successful woman than Oprah.

While she dated some of the most influential men of her time, including the Duke of Westminster, and masterminded Chanel No. 5, which can lure even the most elusive of suitors, she never married.

Susan B. Anthony
Susan B. Anthony was a pivotal player in gaining voting rights for women. An educator, a renowned public speaker, and a devoted fighter for civil rights, Anthony was an independent (and outspoken) freethinker during a time when women were best kept barefoot and pregnant.
Quotable Quote: I declare to you that woman must not depend upon the protection of man, but must be taught to protect herself, and there I take my stand.

Dr. Condoleezza Rice
Dr. Rice's numerous accomplishments include being the first African-American female secretary of state and being a pioneering force behind spreading democracy in the Middle East. Today she works as a professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and as a director of its Global Center for Business and the Economy. While she likes to keep her private life, well, private, Piers Morgan did press her in an interview about her choice to not marry. She responded, "I think I'm well beyond the fairy-tale marriage stage."
Quotable Quote: I believe in a marriage of equals, that's how my parents were, and that's how I would see it.

Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks started as a gawky teen model and forayed her sashays down the runway into a booming career as a media and business mogul. She's managed to host an award-winning talk show, be a successful author, and is now earning an MBA from Harvard (all with no ring on her finger or man by her side). If that's not something to smize about, what is?
Quotable Quote: My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet.

Queen Latifah
Queen Latifah (born Dana Elaine Owens) has received a Golden Globe award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, two Image Awards, a Grammy Award, six additional Grammy nods, and an Academy and Emmy nod. When it comes to a woman who commands respect in Hollywood, the Queen leads the pack. Ignoring rumors about her sexual orientation and forging ahead in her career, Queen Latifah is the epitome of hip, solo, and thriving.
Quotable Quote: I was taught from a young age that many people would treat me as a second-class citizen because I was African-American and because I was female.

Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was an ambassador for the power of unconditional love—even without being in love with a man. As the founder of Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India, she led a global movement that served the sick, orphaned, dying, and poor. True, she was a nun and technically not allowed to marry, but that didn't stop her from showing the world that no woman needs a man to conquer it.
Quoteable Quote: Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Jane Austen
British wordsmith Jane Austen is the mastermind behind literary feats including Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. Even though Austen was a genius at fictional romance, she never married. While she was reportedly engaged—for 24 hours—to longtime friend Harris Bigg Wither, she lived out her dying days single, in the home of her family.
Quotable Quote: A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

Susan Boyle
Frumpy and dowdy Susan Boyle grabbed the world's heartstrings with her show-stopping performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" on Britain's Got Talent in 2009. At the ripe young age of 50, Boyle claims to never have been married and—gasp—never been kissed. The lack of testosterone by her side didn't stop her from being one of the bestselling artists on charts around the globe.
Quotable Quote: I live by myself with my cat Pebbles . . . but I have the support of all my brothers and sisters and my neighbors and friends.

The 2011-12 basketball season was a pretty solid one for the three Twin County girls' teams. Carroll County had its most successful years ever by winning the program's first region championship and reaching the Division 4 state semifinals. Galax ended a two-decade absence by reaching the final four in Division 1. Grayson County improved by leaps and bounds over the 0-20 campaign from the year before, winning nine games and coming probably one win short of a region tournament appearance.

It's actually a real place known as Hashima—or Battleship island—that was built and used as a coal mining facility until it was abandoned in 1974. It's kind of a sad tale, so it's a little confusing as to why Sony chose such an upbeat and whimsical soundtrack for this tour of the island using one of its action cams attached to a multi-bladed copter. Maybe they have plans to turn it into a family-friendly resort? [YouTube via The Awesomer]

San Francisco at New England: With Houston and Denver both winning today, the Patriots currently sit in the third seed in the AFC. A win would put them over Denver (better conference record), just one game back of Houston for the top seed.
San Francisco is also battling for the top seed in its own conference, but needs Atlanta to stumble, which it most definitely did not this afternoon. Likewise, the 49ers bid to wrap up the division was slowed by another dominant performance from Seattle.
So, we've got two of the better teams in the NFL and and honest-to-God potential Super Bowl matchup. But what's really important here is Vince Wilfork uncorking a 60-ish yard bomb....to Bob Costas.
You know the drill, yak it up right here.

Managing Partner
Improving loss ratios and profitability
Triad Analytic Solutions helps clients perform advanced analytics
The property and casualty insurance industry is an extremely competitive marketplace. For smaller insurance carriers, success—and survival—requires at a minimum the ability to accurately segment customers by their loss potential and then use that information to price policies competitively. In today's market, competitor pricing incorporates many forms of sophisticated analyses, based on vast amounts of clean and accurate business and customer data.
No one knows this better than Chris Hardin and Brian Scott, both managing partners at Triad Analytic Solutions. Hardin and Scott have parlayed their years of experience in the property and casualty insurance industry into a business geared toward helping small- and mid-sized carriers with limited or no dedicated statistical expertise or data management capabilities. By engaging Triad, clients gain access to the pricing and product expertise found in the analytics departments of many large carriers. Triad facilitates this by providing outsourced data integration and analytical services using SAS® Business Analytics.
In terms of loss ratios and profitability, we can show our clients how they can improve their performance ... With SAS, we can show and quantify for them, based on historical losses, how they could have had better profitability
Brian Scott, ACAS, MAAA
Getting to the data
"Small to mid-size insurance carriers need to have data in a singular, unified format for them to be able to apply advanced analytics, which in turn enables them to compete in an environment that relies heavily on accurate segmentation," explains Hardin, a career statistician. "We're giving these companies a way to bypass their busy IT departments to get at the data quickly and perform analysis. Many have never been able to do this before and have almost given up asking IT, because by the time they get the data they need it's often too late."
According to the partners, Triad's services often begin with integrating multiple databases, which typically house critical premium and loss data, to perform the required analytical work. Once the data integration work is done, the consolidated data marts and automated processes—which ensure that the data is constantly refreshed and accurate—are handed over to clients, with the training that allows clients to perform the work themselves in the future.
"In one engagement, the client was in the midst of a multi-year, seven-figure project with an IT vendor, which was designed to deliver critical data access," recounts Hardin. "In a matter of months, we were able to use SAS to build and query an interim database that yielded similar actionable analytic pricing information. We also trained the employees to maintain and use the database we created. It's a very satisfying feeling building the tools that empower a company's employees to help themselves going forward."
"It's expensive for small- and mid-sized carriers to hire full-time actuaries and statisticians, and it can be difficult to find employees with detailed knowledge about the spectrum of distribution channels and customer segments—there's no substitute for experience," adds Scott. "It's also hard to attract employees to certain locations. Our value is that we can go into these companies to assist them and train their staff to perform the work after we're gone."
The competitive advantage
And once the data is ready, Triad's customers can begin applying advanced analytics to drive quantifiable competitive advantages.
"Our clients need to get their overall rating plans stabilized," says Hardin. "From there they can take analytics as far as they want to. They can move toward understanding price elasticity and retention and more advanced topics. It's a process that builds on itself – the analysis used to solve basic but elusive questions often creates the analytic foundation necessary to resolve other more complex issues as well."
"There are many small- to mid-size carriers still pricing policies based on univariate analysis," he continues. "They look at results one variable at a time and make decisions on how to treat the information. The real benefit in pricing comes from multivariate analysis, which helps you understand the impact of all the interactions between different pricing variables. We've dealt with just about every analytic data vendor in the insurance industry, so we have a pretty good idea what is out there. Typically, the proprietary carrier models that Triad builds using SAS offer more lift than the generic ones sold by certain vendors. And by maintaining their own models, carriers can save money versus purchasing one, which can nearly double the cost.
"Some of the lifetime value retention and premium modeling we've implemented has seen monoline auto renewal rate improvements of several points—a result that could easily yield a seven-figure improvement to a carrier's top line over time," he adds.
Segmenting high and low risk business
"Auto insurance is a very competitive business," adds Hardin. "The companies that can perform advanced high and low risk segmentation are going to have a leg up on their competition, and thrive by more accurately surcharging and discounting their business, commensurate with the risk that accompanies it. And, if the company isn't using certain rating variables—such as credit and insurance scores—they will miss out on the additional benefits segmentation can provide, such as improved retention and lower acquisition and servicing costs as well."
"In terms of loss ratios and profitability, we can show our clients how they can improve their performance with better segmentation and pricing," explains Scott. "With SAS, we can not only segment risk and build rating plans more accurately, but also show and quantify for our clients, using historical data, how they could have had better profitability."
So why use SAS?
"SAS is a flexible tool," Scott concludes. "It reads and handles lots of different data formats and allows us to go from data integration to statistical techniques without changing software. SAS provides a quick way to go back and forth between these two worlds. There are other tools out there, but they can't function with the large data sets that we're using, nor can they transition so easily to the statistical work."
Required a solution to help insurance clients integrate disparate data sources and apply advanced analytics for improved loss ratios and profitability.
Allows SMB insurance carriers to quickly access the data they need – in the right format; perform advanced analytics; segment risk; set appropriate rates and policy premiums; reduce loss exposure; and increase profitability.

DailyDirt: Learning In Your Sleep
from the urls-we-dig-up deptWe spend almost a third of our lives sleeping, so some people would like to make (better?) use of the time we supposedly waste lying in bed each night. People have tried learning foreign languages on tape while asleep. People want to train themselves to quit smoking while they snore away. The list of things people might want to try to learn unconsciously is endless -- because it seems like an effortless way to try to train our brains. Here are just a few links on the topic of sleep learning and some successful examples of it.
- A recent sleep learning study shows that it's possible to modify a person's behavior while awake by training them while they're asleep. Sleeping subjects were presented with certain (pleasant or offensive) odors and audible tones at the same time, and when they were awake, playing the tones altered the trained person's sniffing and breathing behavior -- eg. people exposed to unpleasant odors would take shallow breaths after hearing the tones. [url]
- Your brain automatically does some pattern matching even when you're not conscious of it doing so, and fMRI experiments have shown that your brain can learn without the person actively knowing it. These results could point to other kinds of unconscious learning, and even therapies that could train your brain to be happier. [url]
- The relationship between sleep, learning and memory formation is a fascinating field -- one that is getting some Department of Defense funding, unsurprisingly. We are a long way from training people to do any of much use while they're sleeping, but someday.... [url]

Today alone, approximately 2,200 people will die of heart disease in the US.
Dubbed "The Silent Killer" because its warning signs often go unnoticed before it's too late, the CDC reports that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, responsible for one in every three deaths.
In an endeavor to promote a more proactive approach to heart health by the public, Vitals has released the list of the Top 10 Patient-Rated Cardiologists in Tulsa.
Although cardiovascular disease pervades every corner of American society, there are some people who are especially susceptible. According to the American Heart Association, those who are overweight, diabetic, have a poor diet, or lead a sedentary lifestyle, as well as smokers and those with a history of heart disease in their families, are at an increased risk for heart attack and stroke.
Should you fall into one or more of these categories, or particularly if you experience symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, or chest pains, be sure to see your general physician for advice on how to improve your condition and for cholesterol and blood pressure screenings. These tests will help your doctor ascertain the health of your heart and determine whether to recommend that you see a cardiologist.
A cardiologist will evaluate your symptoms, take your health and family history, and record your weight. Diagnostic tests, such as an echocardiogram, X-ray or blood tests, will reveal any heart-related issues. If necessary, the cardiologist may also call for a cardiac catheterization – a procedure in which a small tube is inserted into or near the heart that can take pictures of the its activity, or relieve blockage.
If a heart condition is diagnosed, a cardiologist will treat you through blood pressure and cholesterol management, cardiac rehabilitation, and a fitness regimen. If surgical intervention is necessary, the cardiologist will make that determination and refer you to a cardiothoracic surgeon who will perform the procedure.
Vitals' Top 10 Patient-Rated Cardiologists are those doctors who've been rated the highest in qualities that patients value: a good bedside manner, accessibility, adequate follow-up, ease of appointment, diagnosis accuracy, time spent with the patient, office wait time, and staff courtesy.
The list was derived by analyzing the ratings of Tulsa's 46 patient-rated cardiologists on Vitals, along with other quality measures. The ratings and review section of Vitals is the most viewed section of the doctor profile, and more than 35,000 patients each month leave doctor reviews.
Below are the Top 10 Patient-Rated Cardiologists in Tulsa, as featured on Vitals:
- Dr. Adrian Dusa, Tulsa, OK, (918) 494-8500
- Dr. James Coman, Tulsa, OK, (918) 502-2100
- Dr. James Higgins, Tulsa, OK, (918) 496-8499
- Dr. Mark Milton, Tulsa, OK, (918) 748-7501
- Dr. Michael Carney, Tulsa, OK, (918) 582-7711
- Dr. Arash Karnama, Tulsa, OK, (918) 392-5644
- Dr. Alan Kaneshige, Tulsa, OK, (918) 592-0999
- Dr. Ralph Ensley, Tulsa, OK, (918) 494-8500
- Dr. David Sandler, Tulsa, OK, (918) 592-0999

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na: Review and initial reaction
Happy fourth of July, everyone! Just returned from the cinema having seen Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. I say, go watch it as soon as you get a chance! For fear of disclosing too much, I'll table a formal movie review for a few days. However, here are some things to look out for:
1. Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza are excellent! Never should have doubted Genelia's talent -- her acting is perfect for the film (I've hopped onto the Genelia bandwagon). Imran makes a memorable debut indeed. Expect both to be sought after, after their performances in this.
2. Their group of friends really reminds me of my groups of friends, and will likely remind you of yours too. The chemistry between the cast works in superb fashion.
3. We knew the songs were excellent. But after seeing the film and how a couple songs (including my favorite) were split across scenes, it's even better. This is coupled with an excellent background score, which I hope they release as a separate album some day.
4. The entertainment quotient is very, very high, and the dialogue very, very good. There are guest appearances by some very well known names: Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak (Naseeruddin Shah's wife -- in the film and in real life), Paresh Rawal, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, Rajat Kapoor, and others. They are all very, very good.
5. Several parts of the film remind me of some of Aamir Khan's roles and scenes. Once done with this post, I'll scramble to document them. There is even a song that reminded me of a Shammi Kapoor song (what in a red saree and all), but we knew that from the trailers.
6. I loved (LOVED) that Bombay was such a centerpiece for all the action. One of the first frames showed the Queen's Necklace (it's the most talked-about filming location on this blog, for sentimental value carried over from the years I spent living in Bombay), and it showed up at least another four times. St. Xavier's alumni, I do envy you, for your school made it yet again. And Fort, the site of my school, made it yet again too! This has to be one of the most Bombay-centric movies in recent times (from the opening credits to the climax). Excellent!
7. Remember during the last 15 minutes of the film that it is a piece of fiction, and you will not be disappointed with the end result at all.
I was fortunate to be a college sophomore when Dil Chahta Hai (2001) released, and in grad school when Rang De Basanti (2006) released. While Jaane Tu might not have Aamir Khan, it does have the flavor of two of his several most well-liked films. I reckon college students and groups of friends (I miss mine in South Florida, and shall be calling them this weekend) will look back at this film in a similar light a few years down the road. Spoke to several members of the audience during intermission and after the film, and the reaction mirrored the reaction of the audience at this link.
My rating: 4.25/5 (Excellent!)
My classification: PG-13 (for language)
Well, well, worth the wait, and a film that exceeded my expectations (and that is quite difficult to do, given how wild my peak of inflated expectations can be). It excels in never ceasing to be entertaining, and for that, deserves to be categorized as one of the best films this year (the other being Jodhaa Akbar, but comparing the two would not be fair)!

Yippee! Now I can safely plan to watch. :-)

Go on! Compare the two! If you're life was on the line, which one entertained you more?
- Friday, July 04, 2008
O.K so I watched 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' last night! The first 45 Mins are painful, but the movie got much better very quickly and by the end I'd smiled so much my jaw actually hurt! The songs were even more awesome in Dolby Movie sound.Did you notice that the brooding Sukhwinder track didn't show up in the film?

I didn't know Genelia had acted in other films before this. I thought she looks very comfortable in front of the camera, and I wasn't sure as to why.
I'd really like to rent Boys to see how she performs in other roles.
I think my favorite thing about the film is it's ease. It seems like a cameraman just started filiming all these people in their everyday lives. I really want to see the film again.

Yay! I'm so glad to hear it's getting great reviews and great word-of-mouth too. So far this year I haven't been overly impressed with most of the 2008 BW offerings I've come across, so this is exciting!

Bollyviewer: Sounds like a plan! It really is a fun movie, I think you'll enjoy it.
Anonymous: Thank you for the encouragement. Jaane Tu is by far the most entertaining film so far this year, there's no question about it!
Joesph: Agree on the quality of the music in Dolby surround. Now that I think of it, that Sukhwinder Singh track might well have been included to mislead some of us (in a good way). Going in, I was seriously concerned about this film ending the way Aamir's debut film Qayaamat Se Qayaamat Tak (1988) ended. The Sukhwinder track would have been a perfect complement to that end.
Queen Dido: Genelia has some good past works (especially away from Bollywood) that are worth checking out. I didn't like her first Bollywood film, Masti. But it wasn't because of her -- I wouldn't have liked the film, period. She seems to have done an excellent job in Bommarillu (Sita-ji recently discussed it at this post over at the Bollywood Food Club).
You're right about the flow of the film coming across as so natural. Not much seemed forced, which was very well done. I liked how Amitabh Bachchan put it (discussed in this post):
"There simply is no effort that can be noticed on any actor in trying to project that they are acting."
Ajnabi: It really is the best entertainer of the year so far. And we should all be very excited, as Bollywood fans, to have Imran and Genelia in the mainstream now. Bollywood needs them!
- Saturday, July 05, 2008
Good job discussing the film, from the start. People like you truly need to celebrate the film's success. You will probably say you knew it from the beginning, but JTYJN exceeded my expectations too, and I agree that it is the best entertainer of the year.

Hi Anonymous: Thank you for your comment. You're right, of course, Aamir Khan fans will say that we knew JTYJN would be good! ;) Seriously speaking, any doubts I had about the film's quality were dismissed when the friends are shown singing along to the classic song, 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na'.
Could so relate to Mala (the one being narrated to) at the outset. And that is when the story-telling took over the film, and its audience.
I really think Aamir bhai has mastered the art of understanding his audience. When he talks of the difference between an aashiq (lover) and a maashooq (the loved one), we better believe he subscribes to being the former!
Mind you, this one belongs to Abbas Tyrewala and Nasir Hussain as much as it does to Aamir. In Aamir's words, all he did was approve the script and suggest a few changes. The execution was entirely up to the cast and crew, and he was part of neither.

Saw it today and looooved it. Especially liked the story-within-a-story format - adds extra layers to the narration. Story, songs, dialogues, cinematography were all awesome. Thought Genelia's role could have done with a bit of subtlety, but in such a great movie such small imperfections dont really make a difference!

Hi Bollyviewer: Thank you for writing. Very, very glad you liked it!
That story-within-a-story format worked wonders -- completely agree. The elements all worked so well, it truly is a film that deserves to be seen on the big screen.
One of my favorite bits from the film with Genelia D'Souza was when the song Kahin To Hogi appeared. I thought she did so well.

I went to India this summer, and on my second day, I was lucky enough to catch this spectacular flick! I saw it and fell totally in love with it! Everything about it is just simply amazing! I actually saw it another two times, once in drive-in. That was an amazing experience. There's a little bit of everything in this movie..romance, friendship, villains, crime, and even horse riding! This is a must watch!

Anonymous: You're lucky to have seen this in theaters in India!!! That's fantastic! It did have quite a bit integrated within, but the approach to combining the elements was done rather refreshingly, for which I agree it is a must-watch!
Thanks again for stopping by...cheers!

Today, August 3, is the 90th birthday of Norman Dewis, whose 33-year career as chief test development engineer has made him one of the most important figures in the success of Jaguar. Dewis did it all: He rode with Sir Stirling Moss in a C-Type in the 1952 Mille Miglia; set a 172.412 MPH production car record with a modified XK120 at Jabbeke in Belgium, helped develop the Dunlop disc brake that helped Jaguar win Le Mans in 1953, 1955, 1956 and 1957, and was responsible for testing and signing off on 26 Jaguar models, including the XK 140 and 150, the E-type, the Mk VII series, Mk 1 and Mk 2, Mk X, XJ6/12 and XJ-S.
Dewis drove a 190 MPH D-Type in the 1955 Le Mans, where he was a witness to the horrifying crash that killed more than 80 spectators and injured 120 more. Later that year, he and Bob Berry finished fifth with a D-Type in the Goodwood 9 Hours race.
He was behind the wheel of the V-12 powered XJ13, a prototype Le Mans car (shown at top), when a wheel disintegrated during a 1971 publicity film shoot; though the car was doing triple-digit speeds at the time, he was unharmed. His final production-car work at Jaguar was on the XJ6/XJ12 of 1986, commonly referred to by its in-house code of XJ40. Since his retirement in 1985, he has traveled the world as a goodwill ambassador for the marque.

Frear Trust establishes endowed scholarship fund
Trustee Announces $750,000 Gift In Memory of Prominent Hawaiʻi CoupleUniversity of Hawaiʻi
UH Foundation
Officials from the Bank of Hawaiʻi, which serves as the Trustee of the Mary D. and Walter F. Frear Eleemosynary Trust, attended the dedication ceremony for the new Frear Hall Dormitory on August 12, and presented a check for $750,000 to establish an endowed scholarship fund to assist students at any campus within the UH system.
Mary Emma Dillingham Frear was a daughter of Benjamin F. Dillingham, one of the most prominent businessmen and entrepreneurs in Hawaiʻi, and Emma Louise Smith, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Lowell Smith, who had come to Hawaiʻi from New England in 1833. She was an active member of the Daughters of Hawaiʻi and helped to establish the College Club of Honolulu and the local YWCA. A gifted author of prose, particularly on Hawaiian subjects, she served as a regent of the University of Hawaiʻi for 23 years.
Walter Francis Frear was a lawyer, a jurist, the Chief Justice and the Governor of the Territory of Hawaiʻi, an innovator in civic organizations and a published author on subjects concerning Hawaiʻi. He served as chairman of the Hawaiian delegation to the Republican National Convention in 1912, president of the trustees and a deacon of Central Union Church, trustee of Oahu College (Punahou School) and vice-president of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association and the Pan-Pacific Union. He assisted in the development of the local YMCA, the Social Service Bureau, Palama Settlement, the United Welfare Campaign and the Hawaiian Historical Society. Judge Frear was instrumental in obtaining a grant from Andrew Carnegie to build the Library of Hawaiʻi.
"Walter and Mary Dillingham Frear helped shape the Hawaiʻi we know today," said Donna Vuchinich, president of the University of Hawai ʻi Foundation. "They were true innovators who devoted their lives to serving the people of Hawaiʻi. Thanks to the expert management of the funds by the Bank of Hawaiʻi over the years, this endowment will continue to perpetuate the Frear family legacy. We are especially honored that the estate of a former member of the UH Board of Regents will continue to benefit our students in perpetuity."
The funds will be used to assist students in any area of study with all costs associated with attendance such as tuition, books, fees, meals and supplies for students pursuing studies at the undergraduate or graduate levels. Recipients must be graduates of a Hawaiʻi high school and must demonstrate financial need.

EVERETT — The cost of investigating potential misconduct among Snohomish County juvenile detention staff is expected to creep higher into the six figures as a web of accusations grows more entangled.
The Human Resources Department wants the County Council to authorize up to $350,000 for an outside attorney's ongoing investigation — a potential 75 percent jump in cost. The current contract is for a maximum of $200,000. The personnel inquiry covers allegations of sexual harassment, racial discrimination and retaliation against employees who speak out.
The request could reach the council next week for discussion.
"This was an extremely large and complex case," county human resources director Bridget Clawson said.
The county is paying Mill Creek attorney Marcella Fleming Reed $300 an hour to conduct the investigation.
The scope of the work has grown to include nearly all of the detention staff at the Denney Juvenile Justice Center.
To date, Reed and her staff have spoken to 78 employees, some multiple times, Clawson said. That's led to 140 interviews.
The investigation has explored complaints from 14 different people, she said. There are 21 people accused of misbehavior.
That work has generated 40,000 separate documents for review, Clawson said. The interviews are done, but the attorney still needs to finish separate reports for each complaint. That's expected to take at least another month.
The probe covers sexual harassment allegations that have kept Everett City Councilman Ron Gipson on paid administrative leave from his day job as a county juvenile corrections officer since early this year.
A detention supervisor placed on leave at the same time as Gipson has returned to work, said court administrator Bob Terwilliger, who oversees Denney.
Early findings from the investigation turned up nothing to warrant keeping the supervisor away from the workplace, Terwilliger said. No one else is on leave, he said.
The turmoil in the juvenile lockup came to light in February, when three women accused Gipson and unnamed supervisors of sexual harassment and retaliation. To settle the claim, they asked the county for $450,000 each in damages, plus attorney fees.
The women sued the county in April over the allegations. The plaintiffs are Dee Thayer, Barbara Lucken and Karen Hastings. In the suit, they describe a locker-room atmosphere where they felt threatened and ridiculed.
All three have worked in juvenile corrections at the county since the late 1990s, slightly less time than Gipson.
Three black men who work at Denney, including Gipson, said they've been subjected to a racist smear campaign. He and two black supervisors lodged a complaint about it in February.
The personnel problems come during a protracted labor dispute at Denney. A 12-person bargaining unit that represented juvenile detention supervisors recently split in two. The employees are trying to form separate unions.

The Kansas Historical Society is the state agency charged with actively safeguarding and sharing the state's history to facilitate government accountability, economic development, and the education of Kansans. This is accomplished by collecting, preserving, and interpreting materials and information pertaining to state government and Kansas history.
To enrich people's lives by connecting them to the past.
The Kansas State Historical Society was established in 1875. Today the agency programs and services draw more than 15.5 million people. Our collections and services are accessed in person and virtually through a variety of web-based resources. Historical Society programs are diverse and serve a large number of the state's population as well as out-of-state patrons. The agency plays a critical role in state government by being the repository and caretaker of state records. We also administer both state and federal historic preservation programs that bring economic development to communities across the state. The Kansas Historical Society is the state agency that provides curriculum materials on state history to our K-12 schools helping them to meet their state-required coursework. The agency also plays a significant part in the state and local economies through its museums and historic sites.
The programs and services of the agency are carried out by four divisions: Administration (fiscal, human resources, marketing), Cultural Resources (Historic Preservation Office, archeology, historic sites), Education and Museum, and State Archives.

The title pretty much says it all. I'm fairly big on not being spoiled, but basic things are okay. Like say if Natalie Portman shows up in the episode I'll know she lives through Thor 2, but i could have kinda guessed that anyway. But if they all walk on The Bus and are like "Wow, can you believe Thor's dead?" I'd consider that a spoiler
So, what say the people who've seen both? Am I in the clear to watch?

A Fairway to Heaven (afairwaytoheaven.com)
I am developing a golf-centered social networking site (golf-buddies.com) and to help launch it, I am putting together an info product of interviews with experts in many areas related to golf(driving, putting, vacations, mental prep, etc). I want to help golfers overcome some of the problems they experience which can make the game Hell, and in doing so, let them "take their game to a Higher Level" I chose "A Fairway to Heaven" because I wanted something catchy and fun - NOT "Golf Swing Fundamentals" or something equally boring. I want a logo that is fun, but not juvenile.
golfers - obviously. both male and female. and a fairly wide age range (25 - 55+). My products will be delivered digitally over the internet vs. a physical product, so "computer users" would also be a requirement of the demographic. I will be partnering with owners of other golf related products and websites.
I am looking for a logo design that captures the essence of the elements in the title... to me that seems pretty explanitory... golf or golfer, fairway, heaven... I am open to creative ideas. I would like the final logo to have both a black background version and a white background version. There will be a follow up project of creating a header, footer and e-cover for a booklet, CD case and CDs.
