The beginning of the 19th century saw the rise of a new centre, Paris, which progressively eclipsed the other two. Nicknamed "Pianopolis", Paris in 1832 boasted more than a hundred and ninety-three piano-builders, many drawn from elsewhere in search of renown. Paris was a magnet, too, to young piano virtuosi ; it was only natural that Liszt and Chopin should be of their number.

Hernandez Question
I have heard about 50 times now how bad the Patriots messed up, I have heard that all teams in the NFL passed on Hernandez in the draft and how they all would not draft him at all...I have heard several instances of things that have happened not only before he came to the pats, but after he was on the pats about crimes he committed...I guess my question is....where was all of this? Why did we hear about nothing? Where was ready to drop the hammer, where was the media reports? Where was anything....he was drafted in the 4th round and this was said to be due to a pot bust in college, we heard nothing else...where were all of these teams swearing they would never draft him, where was all the media making stories of his horrid past? Can anyone answer this? Its just funny that all of the sudden this happens and the Benglas are coming out making statements of....oh, we would never draft that guy, or Polian saying, oh yeah we knew how messed up he was, we took him off our board....this story came out yesterday on ESPN....I know some of you do not want to read it, but I ask you in this case please do and then give me a comment on what you think...thanks

No one becomes a billionaire without taking risks, and Mr Kraft has more balls than most. I do not believe he knew AHern was capable of or implicated in murder, any more than we did.
Most of AHern's police records were sealed because he was a minor, or someone smoothed over the seriousness of his involvement, or he was questioned and released due to lack of evidence and/or witness statements. There was intent from the beginning to hide the facts, and surprisingly, it was successful.

Maybe this article will make you feel better:
Blaming NFL for Aaron Hernandez mess is laughable
Published 2 hours and 16 minutes ago Last updated 53 minutes and 23 seconds ago
Ross Tucker Sporting News
Stop. Just stop.
That'd be my succinct message to Geraldo Rivera, Rush Limbaugh and any other major media personality swerving way out of their lane to take turns bashing the NFL in the wake of the Aaron Hernandez murder saga.
Their comments are akin to me talking from a bully pulpit about the fiscal cliff or Obamacare, which is to say it wouldn't be pretty. I don't know enough about either to speak intelligently on them in a public forum. The same goes for Rivera and Limbaugh regarding Hernandez and the NFL.
Yet their voices carry weight. Not only do they have big platforms, but my sense is their opinions mesh with the majority of Americans in light of the ongoing drama involving the former Patriots star tight end.
Here's the money quote from Rivera:
I dont know why the league who recruits these kids from the inner city, how they dont have minders, how the agents who are collecting 10 percent of $40 million, where are they in all of this? Rivera said on Fox News recently. Why arent they mentoring these young men who are fatherless, many of themRay Lewis and all the rest. Michael Vick. Uh, you can count them. Theres a ton of them. They sign them because theyre superb athletes and do nothing to preserve their character and put them on the right road toward manhood. Its really pathetic.
He couldn't be more wrong, and I'm not even talking about his factual errors regarding agents (the maximum percentage an agent can receive is 3 percent) or new player acquisition (players are drafted from universities, not recruited from inner cities). It's his basic premise regarding what the NFL does or doesn't do that bothers me. In fact, I'll argue as a former player the NFL already does more than enough for its players in this regard. Too much, if you ask me.
Not only do drafted players go through an intensive four-day Rookie Symposium that serves as the ultimate job orientation, but they have continuing education. Lessons are force fed to rookies and subsequently served up on a lesser (albeit still mandatory) basis to veterans through their time in the NFL.
Sitting through a seminar on domestic abuse my rookie year in the NFL was borderline insulting, let alone hearing the same message five and six years later. I got it. I wasn't going to hit a woman. Ever. Understood. My parents taught me that when I hit my older sister at age 4.
But I knew the seminar was necessary. I learned that early in my career, when after one such 45-minute session the presenter asked if there were any questions. I started to get out of my seat. In my mind, the presentation was over. How could anybody possibly have a question about the message to never ever hit a woman no matter what?
Yet the presenter called on a veteran, one of our best players, who raised his hand.
"That's all well and good," he said, "but what happens if the (expletive) hits you first? I'm not just gonna stand there and take that (expletive)." Several others shouted words of encouragement and affirmation, and I sat back down in my seat, wishing I had a Snickers because it was going be a while.
For a large percentage of players in the NFL, these sessions are repetitive, unnecessary and tedious. For a small percentage, especially young players, there is nothing more the NFL can reasonably be expected to do. You really think the NFL should be able to do in three months what their parents apparently were unable to do in 22 years?
I've also heard people ignorant of the NFL player process espouse the theory that the NFL should learn more about these guys before drafting them.
Other than maybe the CIA or Secret Service, I can't imagine many prospective employers doing a more thorough job researching new candidates than the NFL. The league does a background check on every player. Most teams do more. And that doesn't include the college scouts whose job is finding out as much information on these players as humanly possible. Then they are interviewed by coaches and executives. Over and over again.
The bottom line is teams have all of that information available to them when making the decision on whether or not to select a player. The Patriots gambled by taking Hernandez in the fourth round and won ... until they lost. That's how it goes a lot of times with players that have off-field concerns.
Aaron Hernandez murder charges have nothing to do with the NFL, says SN's Ross Tucker, a former NFL player. (AP Photo)
The psychology of the selection process for players with so-called red flags like Hernandez is fascinating. What message are the Patriots sending when they select a first-round talent like Hernandez in the fourth?
They're saying they don't care whether or not they acquire a player with good character, so long as they get the player at a spot deemed to be of value and not as risky of an investment as a first- or second-rounder.
What does that infer? They like the player a lot, otherwise they wouldn't have drafted him. But they are going to wait until the fourth round, because they know there is a high probability he will get in trouble. Otherwise, they would have selected him earlier based on talent.
It's a game many NFL teams are willing to play, but if you roll the dice enough times, odds are you're going to lose. The Patriots just did in a major way.
In fairness, I don't think any NFL team felt Hernandez was capable of getting into this situation. Yet there reportedly were some franchises that removed him from their 2010 draft boards due to associations with some nefarious characters in his hometown of Bristol, Conn.
The NFL can't do a much better job researching prospects or helping them avoid pitfalls during their career. My experience tells me the league is pretty much maxed out in both of those areas.
I prefer what I call "top down rehabilitation." What does that mean? That means the only thing left to do in order to send a loud-and-clear message is to fine, suspend and expel players as frequently and severely as necessary until everyone either gets the message, or all of the guys prone to mistakes are thrown out of the league.
In all sincerity, who needs them? Certainly not the NFL. This is a league that continued to flourish and see television ratings soar in years without Tom Brady (2008) and Peyton Manning (2011). If the NFL pressed on without two of the greatest players who ever lived, does anyone think it needs any of these other guys? Of course not.
I told Commissioner as much when I met him for the first time in April, 2008. As a guy who just retired, I applauded the stance he took with Pacman Jones, the late Chris Henry and Tank Johnson.
Jones had been suspended the entire 2007 season, while Henry and Johnson had to sit out the first half of the year.
As far as I was concerned, good riddance. I still feel the same. Why give a roster spot to a serial trouble-maker when there always is someone in waiting almost as good, if not just as good, who will do things the right way?
Lest you think I am totally heartless, I am willing to acknowledge these are young men and that there is no "Idiot's Guide" to being young, rich and famous. Think about your friends and what they would have done at that age with that money and fame. It is an experiment bound to go wrong a certain percentage of time.
That's why I wouldn't throw them out of the league for a first offense, depending on the nature of said offense. The punishment should be harsh, though. There is no excuse for any of these guys. They went to the symposium, aka the "No Excuse Camp." Say you're sorry, take responsibility, but don't dare say you didn't know if you would get in trouble. If you attended the symposium, you knew, because they cover it all. The repeat offenders? See ya later.
That's why the message coming from the likes of Limbaugh and Rivera, and maybe even you, shouldn't be that the NFL better prepare these guys or give them more resources. That's hogwash.
The real message should be to encourage to throw the book at these players and send a clear signal to every fan, parent, player and media personality in this countrybehavior of that kind will not be tolerated in the NFL.
It's the only viable option left.

If you are a small business owner, you need to know how your business stacks up with the competition in order to succeed. SizeUp will help you manage and grow your business by benchmarking it against competitors, mapping your customers, competitors and suppliers, and locating the best places to advertise.
To get started, enter your industry and city where your business is located and discover how your business sizes up with the competition. Please note, the SizeUp tool displays the top three results of your search. To view full results, you must complete the sign in process. Please note that you are not required to provide your name, only an email address. Any information provided is sent to SizeUp and is not maintained by SBA.
Note: The tool is not supported by older versions of Internet Explorer (IE 7.0 or earlier). Please use a recent version of a supported browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome).
Benchmark your business
See how your business sizes up by comparing your performance to all other competitors in your industry.Learn More
Benchmark your business
Let's say that you own a shoe store in Santa Clara, CA. What's a little bit of information you can provide to see how you size up against your competitors?
We'll enter in the revenue of your business as $678,910. SizeUp supercrunches millions of data points to compare your shoe store against other shoe stores, and you can see that your shoe store makes less than the typical business in your city, county, metro, state, and the nation. Down below, you can see a heatmap. In red are the areas that have the highest average business annual revenue, and in yellow are areas where there is less. Santa Clara is in the center, and you can see that there are areas around Santa Clara that have higher average annual revenue; these may be places where you want to target your next advertising campaign or open a future store. Below are considerations and resources for your business.
Now let's enter in the year you started. Let's say it opened in 1999. SizeUp plots the opening of shoe stores across the entire country. You may not be interested in the national or state data, in which case you can turn off those layers and focus on the local level, where in this case there's an upward trend of shoe stores opening in your metro.
Now let's see if you are paying more or less than the typical shoe store for your employees. At $25,000 a year, SizeUp shows that you are paying more. The typical shoe store in your county pays a little over $19,000 a year. The map below shows the locations that have the highest salaries are in areas like Marin County and San Francisco.
Let's now enter in that you have seven employees. SizeUp shows you that your shoe store is pretty typical in size.
As you enter in information, SizeUp can create additional reports, for example, your cost effectiveness. Cost effectiveness is a measure of how much output you get relative to how much you're spending.
We can also look at revenue per capita at the neighborhood level, and then zoom out to the regional, state, and even the national level.
SizeUp also shows the local turnover rate for shoe stores. This report shows that about 14% of your employees are going to have to be replaced each year.
Let's say that you spend $4,500 per employee per year on healthcare. You can see that you pay $191 more for healthcare on a per employee basis than a typical business of a similar size and in a similar industry. You can also enter in your workers' compensation rate.
With just a few clicks, you can get an overall dashboard showing how your business sizes up to the competition.
Map your competition
Map where your competitors, customers, and suppliers are located. Isolate areas with many potential customers but little competition.Learn More
Map your competition
A successful business will want to know where their potential competitors, customers, and suppliers are. Let's say we're opening up a beauty salon in Beverly Hills. SizeUp will show you the locations of your competitors.
We also know that we're going to target models, so we're going to focus on the talent agencies where they work so they can send their models over to us before their interviews. We'll input that as a business we sell to, which will display the locations of talent agencies nearby on the customers tab.
We also know that we're going to buy beauty supplies, so we'll input that as a business category we buy from and SizeUp will map those nearby businesses on the suppliers tab.
In an ideal world, what you want is a location that doesn't have a lot of competition, but has many potential customers. In orange, you can see areas where there are high concentrations of competitors. Visually on the map, you can also see areas in green where there are potential customers with not so many competitors nearby. By following this method, we can find a good location to open up a beauty salon.
Find the best places to advertise
Choose from pre-set reports to find areas with the highest industry revenue, most underserved markets or create a custom demographic report.Learn More
Find the best places to advertise
A serious business will want to know where to market their products or services. Let's say we're a dentist in New York City. Where should we advertise? With just that information, SizeUp can show us that the areas with the highest total annual revenue for dental offices are just south of Central Park.
But maybe we want to focus on a different opportunity and we want to find the areas that are most underserved. The report for Most Underserved Markets changes the map, showing that the best locations are in the Bronx and Springfield Gardens.
Or perhaps you want to focus on a specific demographic of lower income households. Adjusting the advanced filters for income level, the map shows that the Bronx is still a good location, but also Newark, NJ.

text: Kristallnacht—literally, "Crystal Night"—is usually translated from German as the "Night of Broken Glass." It refers to the violent anti-Jewish pogrom of November 9 and 10, 1938. The pogrom occurred throughout Germany, which by then included both Austria and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Hundreds of synagogues all over the German Reich were attacked, vandalized, looted, and destroyed. Many were set ablaze. Firemen were instructed to let the synagogues burn but to prevent the flames from spreading to nearby structures. The shop windows of thousands of Jewish-owned stores were smashed and the wares within looted. Jewish cemeteries were desecrated. Many Jews were attacked by mobs of Storm Troopers (SA). At least 91 Jews died in the pogrom.

Unlike musicians, most DJs don't need a mic during their sets. This means less banter between songs. It also means they communicate with the audience almost entirely through their music.
Wanting to hear their voice, I asked several local club DJs whether they considered themselves to be musicians. And, lo and behold! I was flooded with thought-provoking answers, which I've attempted to mix together. Kind of like a DJ, with 11 turntables...
On the most basic level, the argument in favor of DJs as musicians is best summed up by Underground favorite Dynamite Sol: "Absolutely yes! By definition, a 'musician' is one who composes, conducts or performs music, especially instrumental music and especially as a profession."
As the answers got more specific, many focused on the ambiguity of the title itself.
The term "DJ" no longer just refers to a jockey of discs. In today's common use, it encompasses everything from the lowly "human iPod" (Joe Ray Sandoval) and "human jukebox" (AudioBuddha), to the more respectable "sonic curator" (DJ Dirt Girl) and "producer" (CP2).
Unlike producers (those who compose beats and songs via sampling and/or electronic devices), CP2 thinks that most DJs today are "just really involved fans." He explains: "With the rise of really nifty software and hardware, it's easier than ever to bring a controller to a party, plug in and play."
Technological advancements have definitely made it simpler for people to break into the world of DJing.
Conversely, Dirt Girl points out that these same "developments in technology have made DJ controllers more and more instrument-like."
To be more than just a human 'Pod, DJs need to master their instrument-like controllers through practice, just as a pianist masters the keyboard through running scales.
Regarding these technical skills, house and techno mainstay Melanie Moore says, "When I play one track, I mix in a second track and create a third track from the marriage of the two; in my opinion, this combination of turntable skill and creativity makes a DJ a musician."
Gettysburg agrees. The former Matador regular says DJs are only musicians when "they're using the turntable to generate new sounds…like the 'turntablist' DJs from the '80s and '90s who used pitch/speed adjustments, mixer controls (fader, EQ, kill switch) and scratching to make new sounds."
He is echoed by Limn: "The biggest thing is the idea of a DJ versus a turntablist—one who uses a turntable to play someone else's music versus using it to make unique sounds and compositions as one would a musical instrument."
Of course, sometimes there's no need to distinguish between DJs and musicians. Many are both, including reggae-man Don Martin: "This DJ is a musician," he says; Twisted Groove's Spinifex: "I am a musician and play drums in a few bands in town"; and Rouge Cat's Oona: "Most DJs I know, including myself, play a musical instrument."
Oona goes on to explain how being an instrumental musician impacts her DJ work: "A lot of musical talent goes into the process of crafting a set…In order to do that well, I am conscious of keys, phrasing and beats per minute."
This "party-maker" (CP2) aspect of DJing creates a cohesive experience for audience members in the same way a well-thought-out setlist unifies a band's performance. Joe Ray Sandoval sums it up nicely: "DJs who use turntables as instruments for beat matching, blending, manipulation and song selection to create a musical experience are musicians."
Not all agree. Spinifex considers "keeping the dance floor full and dancing" to be "an art," but concludes, "I'm not sure if I would consider myself a musician in that context."
Whether keeping the dance floor full makes a DJ more musician-like is debatable, but it's central to AudioBuddha's definition of "a great DJ."
In his opinion, this is someone who "will take you on a musical journey, often combining musical elements that at first you may not think will work, but under their capable hands, combine to form a musical unity."
The idea of the great DJ made me think. Maybe the comparison between musician and DJ was flawed to begin with—why assume that a DJ would aspire to be anything other than a better DJ?
Limn had the same reaction: "What you should consider is whether or not the people claiming to be DJs actually deserve that title. And whether DJs actually want to be considered musicians."

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
I run a portal around the topic navigation and navigation systems and for that I'd like a new, modern looking web2.0 design consisting of a wordpress theme for news and their categories, an additional xhtml page for the front page and a new logo. The front page itself has nothing to do with wordpress.
People interested in news, infos, tests and offers for navigation, gps and navigation systems
For your information: The wordpress is located in the directory http://www.navifacts.de/news/ and for the front page http://www.navifacts.de/ I need an xhtml page in the same look, but with a different structure to the categories of wordpress.
I need the wordpress theme, an xhtml/css front page, a logo and the photoshop files.
The layout should be a 2-col page with a maximum width of 850 pixels. The design should be bright and friendly with the colors white and blue.
We have already sliced a complete layout with parts from other sites. That layout should serve as your template. Please make sure that all boxes and elements where existing.
Here are the three sliced layouts for the front page, wordpress categories and articles:
Front page: http://www.navifacts.de/redesign/front-page.jpg
Wordpress categories: http://www.navifacts.de/redesign/categories.jpg
Wordpress article: http://www.navifacts.de/redesign/article.jpg
#### further explanations ####
• The header should contain the logo of the left side, right of them a place-maker for a 468*60px banner, above some text-links
• Below a animated navigation bar with mouseover-effects like on http://www.spiegel.de/
• And below a breadcrumb navigation
• The right sidebar should have a minimum width of 300px for adding medium rectangles
• On top of the sidebar should be a navigation with icons for news, tests, shop and forum
• In wordpress categories should also displayed two images: one for my rss feed and the other one for the hint of follow trackbacks
• Below a box with an image for map and software updates, a description and some links
• The content starts with such a typical box from magazine templates where the last articles with images where switched
• Below a box with the following articles
• And below them a box with the last two tests with their images and a teaser text
• On the left side of the footer should be some partnerlinks
• Right of them a place-maker for the logos of gps manufacturer
• And right of them my logo with a description of my portal

My 4 kids graduated from My Nursery over the past 8 years. The atmosphere has always been warm and cozy, it was like a second family to us. My kids learned to be independent and self reliant, it also broadened their minds with the variety of activities during the course of each year
Maha Abu-Issa
My Nursery has been a second home for my kids for almost three years now, making me feel like I could leave my kids in complete peace of mind from day one with the most attentive, smiley and dedicated staff I have ever met. In the last 2 years, I have seen my son develop a strong and confident personality that has allowed him to settle with ease in his new school
Raphaele Chartrand
What I really like about "My Nursery" is that they deal with our kids as a family; they care in developing our kid's personality not only by teaching but also applying... The nursery really helped me in teaching my daughter the good habits in different areas. They also care a lot about working mothers. I trusted that my daughter's Original Language (Arabic) will remain the same and this is what really happened
Sara's Mother
I would like to sincerely thank you for the great efforts you and the team of My Nursery are doing. Your team was professional in dealing with such young age by engaging them into very interesting and interactive activities. Both daughters were exposed to an effective learning experience especially the emphasis on Arabic language (Al Fusha) in addition to the other study
Bassam Abu El Soud
My 4 kids graduated from My Nursery over the past 8 years. The atmosphere has always been warm and cozy, all the staff kind, freindly and very helpful, it was like a second family to us ...
yes the nurseries are many and choosing one is so challenging .Maybe so many can "TEACH"your child ,but "MY NURSERY " will do it with love and attention .for 2 years i had my daughter Naya at "MY NURSERY"and for each day of these 2 years i knew that she'll be safe ,happy and flourishing .values ,manners,creativity,fun and new strategies of teaching....these are the things at "MY NURSERY"that make me feel a happy satisfied mom and i'm highly recommending it to every mom who wants to empower her child's confidence and responsibility.

Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 49th game of the season on Jan. 17, 2010.
Now this is a team we haven't seen in a while.
These sides have met just once this season, way back in November. The schedule says Calgary lost 3-2 in a shootout but that can't be right, can it? Calgary scoring more than a goal in one game? It seems crazy.
Anyhow, Anaheim is a team that, in my opinion, is far better than its record. It may have more losses than wins, but look at these names. Perry, Getzlaf, Ryan, Niedermayer, Koivu, etc. Good players. All Olympians. The problem hasn't been offense this year (they're right around league-average), but the goaltending has been just terrible.
Between Jonas Hiller and JS Giguere, the Ducks' goaltending has combined for a 2.87 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage. That's gonna cost you over the course of a season, and if the Ducks were to ever, y'know, get solid goaltending, then they would instantly become a very dangerous team.
But since they're playing Calgary, which couldn't score on a soccer net right now, they probably don't have anything about which to worry.
The Calgary Flames (26-16-6 for 58 points. Tied for sixth in the West, tied for second in the Northwest) and the Anaheim Ducks (21-20-7 for 49 points. Tied for 12th in the West, fifth in the Pacific).
6 p.m. Mountain time and 8 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should watch out for mirrors.
Honda Center, Anaheim, California.
Calgary is 14-6-3 on the road this year, and have won three of their last four games away from Calgary. The Ducks are 14-8-2 at home and had won five straight before losing 4-0 to L.A. on Thursday.
What (to hate about the Ducks)
Corey Perry — Not only is he an extremely good pest (heck, I can't even stand him and I normally love pests — Burrows, Avery, etc. They're my guys!), but he also has 18 goals and 28 assists this season to lead his team. Not bad at all.
Dan Sexton — This rookie was called up from the ECHL to the AHL earlier this year. He spent five games in the American League before getting the call to the NHL, and now he has 14 points in 21 games, which isn't bad at all.
George Parros — Only because he looks like a bad guy from a Sam Peckinpah film.
Because you should take a break from football. Enjoy the game and anticipate the new work week in the comments section.

Green Tuesdays: An Inspiring Rooftop Farm
Posted by
Becky |
View all posts by Becky
2 Comments »
I know we're a little early for garden talk for most parts of the country, but I was just reading about urban gardner Annie Novak in who brought this 6000 square foot rooftop garden in Greenpoint Brooklyn to fruition. The Eagle Street Rooftop Farm has a Sunday market and also provides fresh produce to local restaurants.
This innovative farm utilizes the latest rooftop gardening technologies while remaining organic, which is not an easy feat. Luckily Novak is up for the job, and has an eager corps of volunteers she's training to be urban farmers. The fresh food and the view are their own reward.
To learn more about where to buy their produce or to volunteer, check out rooftopfarms.org.

How do you use your iPhone/iPad as a remote control, and what do you use it to control?
When Apple introduced the iPhone, they also introduced Remote, and app that you could use to control iTunes or your Apple TV. Since then a variety of other, more wide-ranging remote control apps have become available in the iTunes App Store for controlling media, entire computers, and even complete household automation.
With the introduction of the iPad, there's even 9.7" of screen real estate to fill all your controlling needs.
Let us know your favorite remote control apps for iPhone and iPad, and favorite ways for using them in the comments!

Of course, that means that when I need both my camera and my current knitting project to catch a photo in the limited sunlight when I get home from work, I don't seem to have them both. And going upstairs can be daunting at the end of the work day (who knew crutches would tire me out so much). But today I planned ahead. I sacrificed the lunch bag for the knitting bag and camera! Don't worry, I still ate, just didn't bring the bag. It is amazing what can fit in the Namaste Backpack :)
With just a bit of sunlight left when I got home, I took a quick picture of my current project. A new design featuring the lovely new Dreamy yarn by Anzula. It is soooooooo easy to knit with this yarn because it is beyond soft. Dreamy. A blend of merino, cashmere, and silk. I think I may need another skein of this next week at Stitches West!
You may also notice those shiny, pointy Signature Needles. A birthday treat to myself!! So this project is seriously flying between the yarn and the new needles.
What do you guys have on your needles this week? I'd love to hear!
Happy knitting!

The balancing sure can be an challenge! DS2 had ankle surgery during Xmas break and was non weight bearing for 4 weeks. He had to move into a new apartment after week 2 to begin session 2 of his Co-op, 2000 miles from home! Good thing he has some great friends who were willing to help him!
Enjoy the new needles, that is a nice birthday treat! I am trying to finish a sweater this week, but I'm needing a break from it, so I'm probably going to CO my Blathnat sock #2 today or tomorrow.

I'm working on my Autumn Leaves double knit mitts. First time trying to knit doubleknit, and I think I just may be in love. I've tried doing stranded colour work before, but always ended up with a mess. Seems that I've found a way that works for me (for now!).
Hope you have a lovely weekend down there!

I never did well with crutches because of the incredible pressure put on my wrists and I can't handle my wrists not working, too. So, when crutches were suggested when I was younger, I hobbled along and probably prolonged my injury...oops.
That aside, I've been working on my Honey Badger socks. I'm to the leg of the first sock but before I go working on it, I'm going to switch them to long circulars to see if they actually fit and go over my foot. If they don't, I'm going to have to search out my US #1.5 DPNs. I think it'll be fine...we'll see. I never do gauge swatches so that might play into everything...
Oh, and I have a couple of other things going...test knitting project and another pair of socks and some other things :)

So glad you are learning balance and moving a bit better. Love the new project - and needles. Enjoy! g

And when you figure out the crutches, you won't need them any more!
I'm knitting the Leif Slipover from IK Winter, on size 15 needles. These are big needles!

Three Parts:Having a Selfless MindsetMaking Selfless ChoicesTaking Selfless ActionsCommunity Q&A
Selflessness means putting your community's needs above your own instead of always acting in your own interest. Acting selflessly isn't easy, but the more you practice the better you'll get at being kind and generous more often. When you make a habit of taking action to help others feel good and make the world a better place, you'll see that being selfless can actually make you happier.
Having a Selfless Mindset
1Broaden your perspective. Being selfless starts with having the ability to see beyond your personal concerns and empathize with others, even those you've never met. If you're constantly consumed by your own problems and status, you won't have time or energy to act selflessly. Having greater awareness of the world outside your head is the first step to becoming more selfless. Here are some ways you can get some perspective:
- Listen when other people are talking. Really listen, instead of letting your mind wander when someone is confiding to you about his or her troubles, or telling you an exciting story. Allow yourself to get completely absorbed in someone else's world for a change.
- Read, watch, or listen to the news. Make it a point to be aware of major world events as well as happenings in your own city.
- Read novels. Studies show that reading literary fiction improves your ability to be empathetic.[1]
- Pick some issues to learn more about. Look around you. What central issues are affecting your community? For example, maybe the river in your town is so polluted that it's causing people to get sick. Pick something you want to learn more about, then read as much about it as possible so you'll gain a deeper understanding.
2Think about how other people feel. Empathy and selflessness go hand in hand. If you understand how someone else feels, you'll be more likely to be moved to act selflessly toward that person. You can have empathy toward people you've never met, too.
- Practice imagining yourself in other people's situations. If you were the one experiencing the problem, how would you feel? How would you want to be treated?

Selfless people don't act with kindness and generosity with the expectation of getting credited for it. They do it because it's the right thing to do, and because it feels good to help other people when you have the capacity to do so. Donating something anonymously is a good way to practice being generous without needing to get something in return.
Evening Metal Golden Bags Bags Bags Crystal Evening Rhinestone Rhinestone KLLXEB Evening Women'S Crystal Bag Rhinestone Crystal E0wxPq1tp4Take pleasure in other people's happiness. Have you ever experienced a rush of joy when you made someone else happy? Some people wonder whether it's possible to be truly selfless, since the act of selflessness can actually bring great pleasure. Rather than focusing on whether selflessness is, in fact, selfish, relish the good feelings that come with helping other people. If you take pleasure in other people's happiness, you'll be more likely to find extra ways to be selfless.
5Model yourself after someone who is selfless. Being selfless isn't always pleasurable. Putting other people's needs before your own is usually worth it in the end, but it's often extremely difficult to act in someone else's interest when you have your own needs to attend to. That's why having selfless role models can be a great help.
- Think of a person whom you would describe as "selfless" - someone you know, a celebrity, a religious figure - anyone who tends to act for the benefit of others. What selfless actions has he or she taken? What impact did the actions have?
- Next time you are struggling to make a selfless choice, ask yourself what that person would do, and try to find strength in the answer.
Making Selfless Choices
1Womens Champagne Pleated Evening Clutch Flap Bag Crystal Satin Damara Azw7Oq7Don't hurt someone else for your own benefit. Whether it's something as seemingly insignificant as taking the biggest helping of cake and leaving none left for your sister, or a more impactful decision like devising a way to get the attention of your best friend's boyfriend, never hurt someone else to get ahead. Doing this often enough will backfire on you. Seek out the selfless choice, even when it's also the hardest.
- Resist the temptation to cheat, steal, or pull the wool over someone's eyes, even when you're sure you won't get caught.
2Don't value your time more than other people's. Are you the type who gets impatient when you have to wait in line at the post office or grocery store? When you start feeling your blood pressure rise, remember that every other person in the room has a life just as valuable as yours. Their time is as precious to them as yours is to you. Keeping this in mind will help you act selflessly when impatience threatens to get the better of you.
- Don't take out your problems on other people. Having a lousy day doesn't give you the right to make someone else suffer for it.
3Choose the option that helps the most people. Constantly putting your own friends or family's desires above the needs of the greater community isn't truly selfless. How can you best meet the needs of as many people as possible, rather than just helping out those closest to you? Be a good example to those around you and go for the option that's best for everyone.
4Forgive and forget. If someone crossed you and seeks forgiveness, do your best not to hold a grudge. The selfless approach is to try to see the situation from the other person's point of view, and realize that it's almost always better to foster peace, love and forgiveness than spitefulness and hate. Forgiving someone who has wronged you can be incredibly difficult, but it's also exquisitely selfless.
Taking Selfless Actions
1Volunteer your time and skills. This is one of the most rewarding ways to practice selflessness. When you volunteer your time and skills, all you get in return is the rewarding sense that you've played a part in helping your community. Studies show that volunteering may actually boost happiness and longevity. [2] There are endless ways to volunteer, so identify a need and determine how you can contribute.
- Homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and other nonprofit organizations to help those in need are always seeking volunteers.
- If you have a specific skill you'd like to use, look for an opportunity to work with an organization that could use your help. For example, if you're a skilled teacher, you could teach literacy classes at your local library.
- Sites like volunteermatch.com provide information on opportunities in many communities.
2Donate what you can. Donating money and goods is another great selfless act that you should practice as frequently as you're able. This is not to say you should donate more than you can afford. Take a look at your budget and decide how much you can give, then commit to donating that amount, even if it means sacrificing a few extras.
- Consider picking out a few charities to which you regularly donate a specific sum.
- Making a practice of donating to those who ask for change is a kind, selfless act you can do on a daily basis.
- Donating food, clothing, and other material goods to homeless shelters, disaster relief organizations, animal shelters, and so on is another great way to give back.
3Be there for your friends and family. We all have days when we'd like to turn off our phones and retreat from the world. However, doing this too often means you can't be a stable presence for your friends and family when they need your help. Find ways to be responsive and helpful to those close to you who rely on you in times of need.
4Be selfless in everyday ways. Give up your seat on the train to the elderly and pregnant. Hold doors open for people coming in behind you. Pick up the tab when you notice the person at the next table is short on cash. It's impossible to be completely selfless all the time - you can't pay for everyone's meals or give everyone in need the shirt off your back - but try to find several meaningful ways to be selfless on a daily basis.
5Remember to take care of yourself. Being selfless can take an emotional toll if you don't take time to restore your energy. If you find yourself constantly catering to other people's needs and saying "yes" when you could really use a break, you might need to take a step back and focus on yourself for awhile. If you aren't physically and emotionally healthy, you won't be strong enough to "be there" for other people, so be sure to take good care of yourself.
- You are just as important as everyone else is. Respect yourself and your own needs just as you respect other people's.

A Brief Journey in Time
The history of Koi fish is as mysterious as Koi are beautiful. Popular conviction would have us believe that Koi are indigenous to Japan. In fact, they are even mistakenly called "Japanese Goldfish." But Koi history goes back to South China as far as 20 million years ago.
Just for the Record
"What is the difference between goldfish and Koi?" Goldfish and Koi are both selections of carp, but from two different families. Goldfish are mutations from Crucian Carp (Carassius carassius) and Koi are from common carp (Cyprinus carpio).
So if they did not originally come from Japan, where does Koi fish history begin? The history of Koi fish is believed to originate from eastern Asia, in the Black, Caspian, Aral Seas and China. Carp fossils have been discovered in South China dating the history of Koi fish as far back as 20 million years ago.
The earliest written history of Koi fish, or Nishikigoi, (Japanese for "brocaded" carp) were first described in a Chinese book written during the Western Chin Dynasty, around 265-316 A.D. At that point in Koi fish history they were described as white, red, black and blue.
According to Chinese Koi history, Confucius' son, born in 533 B.C., was presented a fish by King Shoko of Ro. The fish were used as the main subject in Chinese artwork and carvings and some Chinese rulers kept carp in captivity for their viewing pleasure.
While there may have been natural mutations of carp which featured patches of color on them in China, the Japanese are generally recognized in Koi history as the creators of Nishikigoi (Living Jewels).
According to "Manual to Nishikigoi," a Koi history book by Dr. Takeo Kuroki, the word "Koi" was first used about 2,500 years ago in China. Koi are believed to have been introduced to Japan with the invading Chinese and according to Koi fish history the first account of them being kept by an emperor in Japan dates back to AD 200.
The Japanese were the first in Koi fish history to take the naturally occurring mutations and develop them further. Japanese rice farmers kept them as food fish but somewhere between the 1820s and 1830s, they began to breed some of the carp for aesthetic appeal.
As farmers developed different color types of Koi, interest spread throughout the prefecture (similar to a state in the United States) and then throughout Japan. National interest for Koi in Japan increased tremendously when Emperor Hirohito was presented Koi for the Imperial Palace moat in 1914.
Most people involved in the hobby consider the Niigata prefecture in Japan as the birthplace from which the Nishikigoi sprang. More specifically, areas in and around Ojiya City in Niigata are regarded in Koi history as the home of Nishikigoi.
Wild carp were called "Koi" in Japan, but the term was also used to describe colored carp. The name Nishikigoi was given to these "colored Koi carp" during World War-II. Today colored carp are simply called Koi and the term has evolved into the common name for them worldwide.
Many people in Japan recognize the term Nishikigoi but may not be familiar with the term Koi.

morrow is safe. we have a two year deal with him.
I guess we can resign CJ with a early-bird exception (the exception for second year players staying with the same team) since we will most likely be over the cap. that's 175% of his old contract for 2 to 5 years. that's like 1.2 Mill per year.

I was doing some research on the Internet and came upon an interesting fact stating that some early Model Ts from Savannah GA had their seat cushions stuffed with Spanish moss.
True or false?
I would guess that it is true that upholsters back then, all over the south and not just in Savannah, used Spanish Moss to upholster, not only automobiles but furniture, as well. I have bought antiques that were stuffed with it and it is comfortable. The stuff is abundant, soft and free and very suitable once it is treated to kill the red bugs that live in it. Anyone who grew up in the south and as a kid, played in a 4' high pile of it, knows what I mean by red bugs. Jim Patrick

I thought it was - Don't let the bed bugs bite!
I wouldn't be surprised to find it in a RE-upholster job, but I would have my doubts about a factory Model T. I am not aware of any Model T's having been produced in Savannah, contrary to what one of the local tour companies is apparently saying. But I've been wrong before....
I was thinking it might be a trick question Hal. That's why I specified "upholsterers" and not Model T manufacturers, as no Model T's would have ever been manufactured in Savannah. Jim Patrick.
I don't think it is a trick question. I've met Judy. She's a real person.
Here is the link to one of the sites that sited this bit of trivia.
Wouldn't the moss disintegrate and rot over time?
A gunny sack full of curled hair (pig bristles) costs over $200 today so Spanish moss sounds like a good deal.
During its peak use for furniture stuffing Spanish Moss was not used right off of the tree. In Louisiana it was gathered in huge quantities and soaked in shallow water (Swamps) for two weeks until the outer layer rotted and sloughed off leaving the wirery inner core which was used as a liner or stuffing. The name "Spanish Moss" is a misnomer. It is actually in the Bromiliad family with it's distant cousin the Pineapple.
The Internet is full of "facts" that are not true -
Quotre from Abraham Lincoln
According to the June 1937 issue of Popular Science, it appears that Spanish moss was not processed commercially for use in upholstery until the 1930s.
http://books.google.com/books?id=eiYDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA32&dq=Popular+Science+1932+pl ane&hl=en&ei=uwhRTaffEsq9tgf9vIG6CQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10&ved= 0CEkQ6AEwCTgy#v=onepage&q&f=true
There was no Ford branch factory in Savannah, GA.
As I noted in a recent thread, my wife and I were in Savannah this week.
We were on the tour bus and the lady pointed out the building and said the first Model T was built there. I did a little research and now believe the building was only a dealership.
The lady also talked about the Spanish Moss. It isn't Spanish, it isn't moss. It is a plant that grows in the air without soil. She also talked about the bedbug issue when it was used to stuff mattresses. When I questioned the tour operators about the facts they were reciting, I was encouraged to consult with the local museum and historical society for documentation.
Spanish moss - red bugs - been there - done that.
Hopefully never again.
Frank, I think you will find that curled hair is "Horse hair" Pigs have bristles and the hair is short. It would cost a fortune to use, pigs bristle is the prefered hair for top quality paint brushes. They can cost a lot of money if they are pure bristle so much so horse hair is used to cheapen the brushes down.
Tom, if the museum there is anything like some of ours here you will find all kinds of mislabeled items. I think the same people who work there sell trembler coils on ebay as "electric starters" and other wrong descriptions"
Does anyone know of an official Ford source that supports the use of Spanish moss in the upholstery of a Model T?
There was an old story about a horse thief trying to sell a horse to a Cajun Spanish moss gatherer:
"I won't buy it," said the Cajun, because,
"A stolen roan gathers no moss."
And that's all I know about that...
Topaz Lake, NV, for tonite
Ford did not use Spanish Moss for upholstery padding and Ford did not build cars in Savannah. The story is without basis. Ford used horshair and cotton padding.
Certainly Spanish moss was used by locals for all sorts of things including upholstery repairs of old cars back in the day.
To add to Royce's comments above:
If you read the 1937 Popular Science article that I posted earlier, it indicates that commercial harvesting and processing of Spanish moss didn't occur until the 1930s.
Also, of the upholstery uses listed in the article, automobile upholstery is not one of them.
Peter's comment about museum labels recalls one I saw in our local museum. The card listed the item as weapon from overseas. German Mauzer? Philippines knife? Roman catapult? Could have been anything.
I remember as a small kid my grandfather drying spanish moss on a fence for the war effort. He said it was used in airplane seats. If this is true then Ford may have used moss in some of the B-24's they built. Bob
A friend restored an original preteens Auburn "compound" (2cyl.) touring car back in the mid 1960's and it had Spanish moss seat padding. This was the first time either of us had seen moss used for padding.
The car was in the collection of the Los Angeles Museum, so its originality was documented.
I recall this fact, because we joked about collecting moss from my parents ranch in Templeton, CA. to make the restoration accurate.
The LA Museum is not any sort of authority on Spanish Moss or automobiles. I suspect they did not know horsehair when they saw it. The Auburn car was made in Auburn Indiana, where horsehar was plentiful and Spanish Moss non - existent.
I suspect confusion is to blame for the story.
Thank you to everyone who responded. It is interesting what you find on the Internet when you look. I found the following quote on a Spanish moss web site. They were talking about the cypress wood that came from the Louisiana Swamps.
"But the original cypress heartwood was truly wonderful stuff. When Henry Ford decided to stuff the seats of his Model-T's with Spanish Moss, he was pulling the moss over the eyes of his Louisiana suppliers. What he was really after was the cypress wood used to build the crates in which the moss was shipped. This wood was perfect for the wooden door panels and dashboards in his Fords, and he got it for nothing by buying the Spanish Moss."
Thanks again.
Not to poo poo your response but I saw it myself and immediately recognized it. Spanish Moss is grey green in color and hardly looks like horse hair. I too wondered why a car built in Indiana would have moss padding.
A few years later my Wife and I bought an antique love seat (circa 1895) that had its original upholstery in tact, but recovered several times. Sure enough Spanish Moss padding!
Another fabricated story. Ford used all sorts of scrap wood for floor boards. For some reason people think that adding Henry Ford or Model T to any story adds authenticity despite the complete absence of basis for doing so.
I suspect that a love seat made in 1895 could have been made anywhere using anything. How does that have anything whatsoever to do with a Model T?
Spanish, moss, when alive is light grey in color with a green core, but when it dies and is dried, it turns dark brown and the strands thin out, resembling hair. Any one who has never seen it, might mistake it for hair. Jim Patrick

Opinion: Partnerships Under Medicines Patent Pool Key to Lowering Antiretroviral Therapy Costs
July 24, 2013
The ONE blog features an interview with Esteban Burrone, head of policy for the Medicines Patent Pool, who discusses how antiretroviral drugs used to treat HIV became less expensive over the past decade, allowing for millions more people living with the virus to receive treatment. Burrone says partnerships with pharmaceutical companies have been key in reducing the cost of treatment, and he adds, "Our focus is now on drugs under development and second- and third-line medicines, which patients need when they develop resistance" (7/23).

ROME — Reporters, worshipers, and tourists were already waiting on the steps of Santa Maria Della Vittoria church Sunday morning when Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley arrived, a half-hour before he was to say Mass.
As he emerged from his car, he seemed to stiffen slightly, as if unnerved by the attention that comes with being seen as a papabile, or contender for pope — an improbable situation for the quiet archbishop of Boston.
Two days before the start of the conclave to elect the next pope, O'Malley has emerged as a popular favorite in some circles, even as many still doubt the princes of the Roman Catholic Church are ready to elect an American. O'Malley led a poll of a half-dozen Vatican experts in the influential daily Corriere della Sera on Saturday, as well as a separate reader poll the paper published online Sunday.
O'Malley's brown habit, signifying his Capuchin Franciscan order's simplicity and solidarity with the poor, has helped him stand out. So has his fluency in Spanish and connection with Hispanic communities, lending him an international appeal. And he is recognized as one of the church's most effective leaders in dealing with clergy sexual abuse.
Franca Giansoldati, a Vatican correspondent for Il Messaggero, another leading Italian paper, who attended Sunday's Mass and waited afterward for a chance to greet him, called O'Malley "fantastic" and said she hoped he would be the next pope.
"We need a new era in the church," she said.
O'Malley has repeatedly dismissed the notion that he is a contender, and he continued to do so Sunday at his titular church. (All cardinals are assigned as honorary patrons to a Roman church; O'Malley's is Santa Maria Della Vittoria.)
Clad in a red cardinal's cassock for Mass, he silently climbed the steps of the church — a Baroque masterpiece resplendent with elaborate frescoes and marble sculpture, most notably Bernini's masterwork, The Ecstasy of St. Teresa.
The Rev. Rocco Visca, a member of the Discalced Carmelite friars who run Santa Maria Della Vittoria, lavished praise on the cardinal as he opened the service, calling O'Malley humble and a friend to the friars. He said he hoped that this would be O'Malley's last visit as a cardinal and that the church would be his first stop after he became pope.
When he began his homily, O'Malley gestured toward Bernini's masterpiece and quipped that when he took possession of Santa Maria Della Vittoria, he had kidded the friars that he might bring the sculpture back to Boston. They had replied that Napoleon had already tried that, referring to the French military ruler's raid of Vatican treasure.
"I want to assure you that after the conclave, I will be back as your cardinal, and probably I will try to take the St. Teresa statue back to Boston," he said with a laugh.
It remains unlikely, although not impossible, that the cardinals will pick an American in the conclave, which begins Tuesday. The voluble, high-octane Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York is also considered a serious and well-liked contender.
Veteran Vatican analysts see the race as wide open, with a handful of supposed heavyweights vying for votes, including Cardinals Angelo Scola of Italy, Odilo Scherer of Brazil, and Marc Ouellet of Canada.
O'Malley is seen as a potential compromise candidate if the early ballots do not produce a winner. L'Espresso magazine has called him a serious possibility, as have La Stampa and the major Roman daily Il Messaggero. L'Espresso correspondent Aldo Cazzullo called O' Malley "the pope with the monk's habit, the man with a subversive energy, the advocate of radical renewal."
The paper's Vatican correspondent, however, did not place him in his top three bets.
But handicapping the race is a risky enterprise. Few cardinals disclose their leanings, and although leaks are appearing in the Italian media, they are unsourced and impossible to verify. The cardinals themselves may not know where they stand.
"This is a momentous occasion, when perhaps the will of God isn't entirely clear to many of us," Cardinal Francis George of Chicago said Sunday.
The cardinals' Masses offered a brief explosion of prelates' voices following last week's self-imposed silence, and in advance of the absolute secrecy required in the conclave. For papal contenders, it offered a moment vaguely akin to a final barnstorming tour before a presidential election — a last opportunity to shine before the vote. Most cardinals, however, frown on comparisons to secular politics or any semblance of campaigning and say they see the vote as deeply prayerful and spiritual.
Dolan's Mass at Nostra Signora di Guadalupe, in the middle-class Rome suburb of Monte Mario, was also packed with "giornalisti." He seemed to be in high spirits, at one point joking with the congregation about the gift baskets with food brought up to him during Mass. "Maybe I'll take a little package of candies into the conclave," he said, to big applause. "Because I hear the food there isn't so great."
Speaking to journalists after the service, he toggled between English and Italian, telling Italian reporters, "I'm better after two or three grappas."
O'Malley, apart from his opening joke, seemed more solemn than usual.
He delivered his homily mostly in Italian. Peter Borre, a Boston lawyer who has fought on behalf of some of the parishes O'Malley closed years ago, and whose first language is Italian, was in the congregation; he said it sounded to him like "accented Italian spliced with Spanish words — close enough for Vatican work, I guess."
O'Malley preached on the Gospel reading of the day: Jesus's parable of the prodigal son, who squanders his inheritance and returns home ashamed, only to find his father waiting with open arms in forgiveness.
He implicitly linked the story with the exodus of Catholics from the pews in the West, one of the main challenges that will face the next pontiff.
"One can leave the Father's house, the Church, for many motives: for ignorance, for lack of acceptance, for negative experiences and scandals, or for spiritual mediocrity," he said, according to a translation provided by the archdiocese. "We find ourselves before a Father who surprises us with his goodness, a Father great in his weakness, who loves us beyond all common sense."
He spoke briefly in English, about the days ahead: "The Catholic world is united in prayer, filled with confidence that comes from our faith."
He declined to speak to reporters afterward, but his spokesman, Terrence C. Donilon, said he seemed more relaxed after the worship service.
"He's in really good spirits," Donilon said. "I think he's looking forward to the opportunity to begin the work" of the conclave.
John Noronha, a professor of theology and art and architecture from Illinois who lives in Rome, where he and his wife offer custom tours of the city, said it was fitting that O'Malley celebrated Mass in a church with a monument to St. Teresa of Avila, who helped reform monastic life in the 16th century.
"He was very down to earth, nothing ostentatious, just giving us the simple and profound message of the Gospel," he said, "and tying it into what we really need to be focusing on during this conclave."Lisa Wangsness can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Despite its steep price tag, Ralph Lauren's Ceremony Cardigan for Team USA has already sold out on its Olympic online store.
But fear not. Olympic fans who are desperate to don the team's official uniform can still find it on eBay, where the cardigan is going for a whopping $3,000. If the bidding for that particular cardigan is over, there is still one bid at $1525 and one at $1600, as of Friday night.
The cardigan, which retails for $395 online, features a patchwork of stars, stripes, Olympic rings and a Team USA logo. The American athletes were a sea of red, white and blue as the whole team wore it at the Opening Ceremony on Friday night.
The merchandise is clearly selling well, and the price of the Olympic garb is in line with other RL prices, according to Buinessweek.com. The cardigan is not the only item that flew off the shelf: a men's peacoat, which retails for $795, is also gone.
"In the coming weeks, our brands will enjoy extraordinary global visibility," Chief Operating Officer Jackwyn Nemerov told Businessweek on a conference call this week.
The uniforms are manufactured domestically, which is notable in the wake of the controversy over the Team USA outfits for the London Games. Ralph Lauren was heavily criticized for outsourcing the 2012 outfits to China, but the USOC said at the time was too late to change the outfits ahead of the London Games. Instead, they agreed to let Ralph Lauren manufacture the Sochi Games' uniforms domestically. This is the fourth time the designer outfitted the the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams.

Erik avait besoin d'un nouveau design de logo et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 33 designs proposés par 17 designers freelance.
My name is Erik who is a graphic/web designer in Colorado. My client and I decided to give 99 Designs Designers the opportunity to create a logo based on my sketch provided for possible contractual job in the future with my company, Iron Sky Design. I have attached a sketch of logo as an example what we like, but we also welcome your creative idea if you feel you can do something different for Celebrate Your Day DJ which is a new DJ company. My client will pick the winner and I will finalize the work. Good luck.
People who hires Disc Jockey service for wedding, birthday parties, school dances, etc . Pretty much cover everyone who loves to dance to music!
Please visit http://www.celebrateyourdaydj.com to get an idea of colors of the website. Our logo will appear to be hovering above the site (on top left), include top of slideshow (z-index). See our logo sketch attached, we like to see the circle and "DJ" to be made in chrome or metal. The "J" should be cap'd with a dot above it. And DJ should be incorporated with the ring. I saw that my idea was almost similiar to one found on http://www.djdanceok.com logo, but use your creative ideas that can keep our logo stands out. After your logo is picked, I will apply flash effect to it. We ask that it made in PHOTOSHOP and keep all layers intact for possible final modifications and add flash effect myself.
The words, "Celebrate Your Day" on the circle, can be cut out, or bevel, or whatever you think is cool. My clients like to see a single music note on both side of the circle. The inner circle should be glow with colors, or gradient.
We also expect the logo to look as good on business card, flyer, brochure, etc so the logo should be readable in any size as possible.
Do not limit yourself to our sketch, but you are welcome to show us something different as well.
Please feel free to ask questions and wish everyone the best of luck.

Eric Goldberg talks about Ken Harris
6 comments:
I can't get YouTube on my network. Can you provide a little synopsis of the points about Ken that are covered?
- April 7, 2010 at 1:04 PM
In the clip Eric talks about how Ken Harris was capable of turning out 30 ft. a week of top quality character animation by being extremely efficient with his charting and the placement of his breakdowns .
- April 14, 2010 at 10:24 PM
On a different subject, but has anybody noticed the similarity to the Thief losing his backscratchers and the Mad Hatter losing his hat in the Alice in Wonderland movie? It looks like a homage. Also there was a dark beer animated advert a couple of years ago with soldiers bouncing on drums. I could be wrong though.
- April 15, 2010 at 2:09 AM
Losing his hat?? Walt's cartoon adaptation or Tim Burton's messed-up sequel?
- April 15, 2010 at 4:26 AM
Hi Maurice. I was thinking of Tim Burton's movie, which I thought was great. Mad Hatter puts his hat on to avoid having his head chopped off. Same idea as in "the Thief" where the Thief uses backscratchers to avoid having his hands chopped off.
I could be delusional though!
- April 15, 2010 at 5:58 AM
Not so. The Theif never had a "doppleganger" to escape his hand-less situation, he relaied on pure wit (despite the fact he's an idiot). The Chester Cat transformed himself into Mad Hatter, with one major detail being his hat (the only real wardrobe), to make the act convincing for the real Hatter to escape unseen.
I doubt that even WAS an homage. Similar predictaments don't always count as pariodes.
