Jews pretend to be monotheistic, god-abiding citizens, but privately hold feelings of reprisal towards him. They developed an opposite deism to that of the Pleiadeans, in which they worship the anti-creator, the enemy of the 'good one': "In order to reach the level of the Creator, [...] we must come to feel that our desire is totally opposite that of the Creator."[8]

In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond.

With freedom comes responsibility. Do you think yelling "Fire!" in a theater or "Bomb!" on an airplane when you know damn well there isn't one is acting responsibly?
That's just it, not everybody is in their right mind and f'ing with it is irresponsible at best and dangerous at worst.
Bobbox1980 wrote:I think with power comes responsibility, much moreso than with freedom, especially the responsibility to not violate the unalienable rights of others (ex: their body, their property, their choice).
Making it illegal to yell fire in a theater was a terrible precedent to set (not to mention the 1st Amendment "Congress shall make no law..." part). There were/are other remedies like civil suits. While I don't think it is responsible to yell fire in a theater when there isn't one some like Kissinger would say it is not responsible for a country of people (Chile) to elect communists (Allende) to office. Kissinger acted to overthrow a lawfully elected government based on his perceived right to make choices for others without their consent.
Many of us believe that when anti-Semitism dares to rear its head, it should be quickly and forcefully quashed. Anti-Semitism is racism and therefore inherently unjust. Racism turned against Jews reminds us of the Holocaust—that hate speech can be and was used to justify the murder of our people. This is not a theoretical conceit: It's a life and death—"never-again!"—issue.
In each of these recent cases, however, when Jews rose up to protest against anti-Semitic hate speech, they have been met with indignant campaigns accusing them of opposing free speech. As sensitive as any of us might be to anti-Semitism, who among us is not also sensitive to the un-American specter of opposing free speech?
Must we pay for free speech if it's hateful?
Thus those who define their right to present or publish whatever and wherever they want as a free speech issue, miss the point: Would they argue because a newspaper prints pornography that local merchants have an obligation to support it with advertising? Are advertisers obligated in the name of free speech to support a publication that prints racial offenses against African Americans? Of course not—just as merchants are not obligated as supporters of free speech to fund a publication or any expression that promotes anti-Semitism. That's just bad for business.
By the same token, we cannot permit those who oppose our withdrawal of support for anti-Semitic and even anti-Israel speech to adopt the free speech narrative. We must be clear in our communications: This is not about free speech. Free speech is something the government permits us as American citizens, and something the government cannot deny us. So here's our alternative narrative: Nothing in the Constitution says we have to listen to or read speech we don't like, and nothing says we have to pay for it.
"And I think all Nazis didn't see themselves as bad people. I've never met a racist yet who thought he was a racist. Or an anti-Semite who thought they were anti-Semitic."

"We must recognize the fact that many Nazis, Marxists and Fascists believe passionately in their fundamental rightness, and allow nothing to hinder them from their goal in the pursuit of their mission."

If you have an understanding of the history, and how such genocides can actually take place in a civilization we would like to believe does not have a natural tendency for the torture and mutilation of fellow humans - than you might grasp the need for bigots, racists, and f'ing a--holes like this to be shown the door when their disgusting little hitler-esque fantasies rear their ugly heads.
And if you agree with him about the inherent evil nature of jews - you can get the f*** out too...I am not preventing you from starting your own forum and publishing anti-Semitic crap out of your own pocket, but you're not going to do it on my dime.
That is the dumbest argument for yelling fire in a crowded public place that I have ever seen.
I will make it clear to Google that I would take my business elsewhere if they published speech that I find offensive and derogatory. That is my right.

Search giant Google has used its developer blog and coding portal to detail the formal arrival of its Go open source programming language, which this week has reached version 1. First initiated back in November 2009, the Go project has enjoyed contributions from more than 200 programmers who have between them input code, tests, and documentation.
Go 1 is the first release of Go that is available in supported binary distributions. They are available for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows.
Google's Scott Knaster has explained that the Go programming language (and its set of core libraries) version 1 will be affectionately known as Go 1 for short. The Go team has reportedly spent "months of work" refining the specification, improving the implementation, increasing portability, and reworking and adjusting the standard library.
Google says that code that compiles in Go 1 should, with just a few exceptions, continue to compile and run throughout the lifetime of that version, even as the company issues updates and bug fixes (such as Go version 1.1, 1.2, and so on).
According to Knaster, "Go 1 introduces changes to the language (such as new types for Unicode characters and errors) and the standard library (such as the new time package and renamings in the strconv package). Also, the package hierarchy has been rearranged to group related items together, such as moving the networking facilities, for instance the rpc package, into subdirectories of net. A complete list of changes is documented in the Go 1 release notes. That document is an essential reference for programmers migrating code from earlier versions of Go."
"We also restructured the Go tool suite around the new go command, a program for fetching, building, installing, and maintaining Go code. The go command eliminates the need for Makefiles to write Go code because it uses the Go program source itself to derive the build instructions. No more build scripts!"
This language release also sets in motion a new release of the Google App Engine SDK — the company explains that a similar process of revision and stabilization has been applied to the App Engine libraries, thus providing (in theory) a base for developers to build programs for App Engine that will run for years.

While studying some class field theory there was a lot of talk on galois extensions. Of course. When talking about non-galois number fields, usually the text will quickly take the galois closure. At this point it occurred to me that this implies many properties are shared by number fields with the same galois closure.
So splitting of primes and ramification are controlled by the galois closure. But what other properties are shared?
Class group, unit group, higher cohomology and K-groups?

Practicality is the Name Of The Game in my family. There is a "famous" family story about me, from when I was about 3-4 years old... walking down the street hand-in-hand with my mom. Suddenly, I saw something in the gutter, stopped and exclaimed "Look Mom, a perfectly good coat hanger!" Ha ha. I was brainwashed from birth! If you can get just a little more use out of something - you are morally obligated to do so!
My grandparents had two big apple trees at their house, and every year they would be bombarded with gallons and gallons of buckets. I can remember so many visits to their house - just stopping by on the way home from school, or coming over to say hello - where I was (happily) roped into helping pick the apples off the tree and fallen apples up off the ground.
The good ones were salvaged for eating in the way that normal people eat normal apples. The ones that had been overcome with rot or bugs were tossed. But then, that left the other 75% of the apples : the so-so ones! These apples might be damaged or bruised or have a few obvious bug intruders - but would also still have some salvageable chunks of apple left; they went into a 5 gallon bucket.
Many people wouldn't be so concerned with making use of every good bit, but driven with the deep ethic of not letting things go to waste, my grandma would put them to use! Every year she would can up many jars of applesauce. She never added sugar, and in fact, she even left the peels on. I'm not sure if she actually liked the peels in there, or just didn't mind them. Either way, I can vividly remember her boasting to me about how easy the whole process was if you just didn't bother with peeling the apples! She also liked her applesauce more on the chunky side of things, so she didn't have to put it through a food mill to smooth it out. She had the whole thing down to a quick, easy, and super-practical methodology!
These days, we have an apple tree of our own, and every year (about this time), we are suddenly overloaded with more apples than I know what to do with. As a confession, I have come to appreciate those apples that are overcome by bugs, so that I can toss them with a clean conscience. The bugless apples are very rare, but those are also special treasures, because apples actually keep for quite a while in a cool, dark place. But, the vast majority of our apples fall into this so-so category in the middle: good enough for applesauce, but not good enough to set aside to keep.
The whole situation leads to many mixed emotions. I feel happy about having apples. I feel guilty about letting any partially-good segment of an apple go to waste. I feel tired just thinking about all those apples out there waiting for me. But, most of all, I feel happy about having apples. Every year I end up making my own giant batches of applesauce. Like my grandma, I never add sugar. Unlike my grandma, I do peel them. I just can't get into the peels in my applesauce. I usually make some batches super chunky, because I prefer chunky applesauce for a snack. But I also make some smaller jars of super-smooth applesauce, so I can use them for baking. A lot of times I use half-oil and half-applesauce to reduce the oil in baked goods, and I like having little mini-jars of applesauce on hand.

The best all-around driver in NASCAR this season? Greg Biffle (L). He's on the pole for Saturday night's Charlotte 500, and Mark Martin (R) is on the outside. (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
The championship, the championship....everything seems to revolve around the championship right now.
Points and hoopla.
Racing of course should be about winning races. But each fall, well, things seem to get skewed.
At the moment some fans and writers are reassessing the current points system...
Now there are some who might think, logically, that the NASCAR champion should be the man and team that does the best job over the entire season.
What better way to judge that, by the numbers, than by 'best average finish.'
It's plain and simple and just -- a man who finishes first, gets one point; second place, two points; and so on.
You get what you earn, no more, no less.
No smoke and mirrors.
No stroking.
No gimmicks.
You get what you earn.
And here, 30 races into the 36-race season, that gives us an interesting point of view:
The man with the best overall performance so far this season is.....Greg Biffle.
Yet under this chase playoff format he appears well out of the title hunt.
The man with the best overall performance so far this season. Toast.
Best Average Finish
(over all 30 races)
Greg Biffle 10.133
Dale Earnhardt Jr. 10.333
Brad Keselowski 10.5
Jimmie Johnson 10.667
Matt Kenseth 11.200
Martin Truex Jr. 11.300
Clint Bowyer 11.533
Kevin Harvick 11.933
Denny Hamlin 12.233
Tony Stewart 13.467
Kasey Kahne 13.600
Jeff Gordon 14.300
To make it simpler to visualize perhaps, multiple by the 30 races run:
Greg Biffle 304 points
Dale Earnhardt Jr 310
Brad Keselowski 315
Jimmie Johnson 320
Matt Kenseth 336
Martin Truex Jr. 339
Clint Bowyer 346
Kevin Harvick 358
Denny Hamlin 367
Tony Stewart 404
Kasey Kahne 408
Jeff Gordon 429
For what it's worth....
Jeff Gordon: not the most consistent finishing average this season....but he's still got a shot at the title (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
Meanwhile NBC's Brian Williams, who has covered a number of NASCAR races himself, put it all into national perspective on the Nightly News Monday evening:
He introduced the Talladega video clip of the devastating 25-car last-lap crash with that "bloodthirsty" quote from Dale Earnhardt Jr. and pointing out that Dale Earnhardt Sr. himself was killed at one of stock car racing's two restrictor plate tracks.
Now how will NASCAR executives respond?
So far there has been no particular response, either from the sanctioning body or drivers.
However NASCAR officials are pointing to their "aggressive testing" of the 2013 cars, which drivers said, after last week's Talladega test, do "drive differently."
At this point it should be noted that last season's two-car drafts -- which NASCAR has essentially outlawed -- were a much safer form of racing at the sport's two flat-out tracks.
Of course it should be pointed out that Dale Jr. didn't like last season's two-car drafts, saying he wanted to be more in charge of his own destiny, rather than have to rely on a 'partner' out on the track.
Wonder how much control he had over his destiny Sunday afternoon....
Tough track, tough men (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
Junior wanted the rules changed last year...and now he wants the rules changed again.
The real problem here, of course, is nothing new -- Daytona and Talladega are 1960s race tracks, dinosaurs in this super-aero age of racing.
Too much banking, and both are now amazingly smooth, so drivers run flat-out all the way around.
In big, big packs.
Throw in those 'shootout' restarts, and it's a recipe for carnage.
So what to do?
Maybe some speed bumps down in turn one, to bring some handling back in the game?
The two-car drafting was intriguing, with drivers pairing up and using an amazing closing rate to launch passes from half a lap back. The key was the Daytona repave, which took that bumpy track and made it stunningly smooth.
However television couldn't quite figure out how to use cameras effectively in covering that unexpected form of racing. And NASCAR executives decided they didn't like it a bit, and officials began tweaking engine cooling rules to force drivers to stop two-car drafting.
NASCAR's tweaks didn't set well with drivers, who last fall at Talladega complained they were spending more time watching their temperature gauges than trying to race the competition.
More tweaks.
This season opened at Daytona with a huge pack-crash in the Saturday Nationwide race...and when the 500 itself finally got going, Jimmie Johnson was knocked out in a first-lap crash, and then in the final moments another big crash....
At Talladega in May a big crash in the final miles of the 500...just after Eric McClure's violent Nationwide crash the day before.
At Daytona in July 15 drivers crashed on the last lap....
Now this.
It is really amazing that drivers haven't been very seriously injured in any of these melees.
The other half of Sunday's Talladega dilemma was in the grandstands. Or rather who wasn't in the grandstands.
The race day crowd, once 190,000 at the sport's biggest track, not so long ago, was officially listed at 88,000 this past Sunday. That's even down considerably from this spring's relatively small 108,000.
Jeff Gordon, who may have provided the best story of the day by slipping back into championship contention, said he couldn't understand why the stands weren't packed, as violent and thrilling as the racing is.
And that should be a major issue for the people running this sport, the continuing loss of fans and viewers.
Meanwhile, on the Angela Cope front....(Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
Re Talladega, the first thing I thought when I tuned in was there's more seats visible than fans. Another track, bigger than them all, half full. The reason? The economy, the product, the economy, the product, the economy, freedom of choice...
If that was the case, have you seen the stands at College and Pro Football games? Tickets cost far more and the stands are nearly packed from city to city, plus they\'re on TV more, prime time even.
I've been saying for years - tear down the banking in one turn of Daytona & 'Dega. After that, make the turn a reverse-camber type, similar to many road course turns. I guarantee you that no driver will be sailing into a reverse camber turn at 200mph.
Presto..........no restrictor plates needed any more and no more giant packs all going at the same speed.
That is an insult to racing. Real racing is 43 vs. each other, not boring one on one "battles" where no one fights for anything and everything conspires to get in the way of passing. Real racing is open throttle. Real racing is 88 lead changes. Real racing is all about the draft, not about handling.
Restrictor plates are needed for ALL the tracks because the cars are too fast - if anything, Dale Junior's concussion incurred at KANSAS weeks before this Talladega crash proves anew the cars are too fast. Restrict all the tracks; make them like Talladega, not the other way around.
Tearing down two racetracks with ISC $$$ for 4 Cup races a year or making the sport build "smaller" non-restrictor plate engines for Daytona and Talladega? Cheaper. ISC Stockholders will look @you with blank stares for tearing down D&T.
Its like these wrecks are purposely added to the show at these plate tracks. It is a virtual certainty that its going to happen, so maybe Nascar should mandate what lap it will be...2 laps to go? white flag lap? They like to script everything else, why not \"The Big One\"? Oh right! They don\'t have to. This ridiculous racing produces this stuff on its own.

Stores, jobs come slowly to pioneering urban village
Issaquah Highlands opens a shopping district 15 years after the first residents arrived in a planned "live-work-play" community.
Seattle Times staff reporter
It's been a long wait for a grocery, bank and dozens of other stores to come to the Issaquah Highlands.
"They said the retail was going to be in within a year or two. That was 1998," said Geoff Walker, one of the first residents of the planned community.
But at last, a downtown is taking shape there.
A 12-screen movie theater opened in June, followed by a frequently jammed Starbucks, BevMo!, The Ram, Big Fish Grill and small shops.
Nearly 50 tenants, including Safeway, Marshalls and Wells Fargo, will be open this fall at the gateway to one of King County's largest urban villages.
It's a coming of age for the hillside community whose residents have waited impatiently for shops where they could buy underwear or a loaf of bread.
"I'm so excited for Safeway opening I can jump up and down!" exclaimed Stacy Goodman, a resident and City Council member who has been shopping at stores several miles away on the valley floor.
The Issaquah Highlands is one of three large planned communities that broke ground on the Eastside in the 1990s and brought a new kind of urban feel to the edge of the suburbs.
When its last unit is sold or rented in 2015, the Issaquah Highlands will be home to more than 9,000 people.
It was the last of the urban villages to develop a major retail center. Two earlier retail projects fell apart at the Issaquah Highlands, in part because of delayed freeway access and then the financial crisis.
With large tracts of close-in land a thing of the past, and with local governments attempting to direct growth into existing city centers, there won't be any replicas of the Issaquah Highlands in King County.
But echoes of its compact, pedestrian-and-bus-friendly design can be seen in redeveloping areas from Redmond to Burien to Northgate.
The Highlands was designed to bring a mix of jobs, stores and homes to a high-density community in an area previously zoned for low-intensity rural uses.
Instead of building 5-acre estates across the 2,200-acre face of Grand Ridge — as previous zoning would have allowed — developer Port Blakely struck deals with Issaquah and King County to build the mini-city on 734 acres and turn the remaining 1,483 acres into county and city parks.
Growth-management techniques pioneered at the Issaquah Highlands have since been used to create other forested buffers on the edge of King County's urban growth line.
Now that all but the last 700 of the Issaquah Highlands' 4,400 homes have been built, its footprint is clearly visible from the air.
Cottages, duplexes, town houses, four-story condos and single-family homes are — except for a couple luxury-home areas — packed close together in a community bordered by forest on three sides.
The Issaquah Highlands has struggled to attract large employers, just as it took many years to sign retailers. But now, slowly, the jobs are coming.
Swedish Medical Center, which two years ago opened the Eastside's first new hospital in 34 years there, is eyeing an expansion that could double its size.
Bellevue College has bought 19 acres where it plans to build a new campus.
Microsoft, which long ago gave up on plans for a campus at the Issaquah Highlands, signed papers Friday to sell its 63 acres across the street from the new Grand Ridge Plaza retail center.
The buyer, Issaquah Highlands Investment Fund, hopes to break ground on a project that will include homes and some commercial uses, city officials said.
Community feel
"As a community we raise each other's children," says Rene´e Zimmerman, who moved to the Issaquah Highlands in 2000 with her husband, Erick, and their two sons.
If a child needs help, Zimmerman said, "they know who's around, they know what adults they can trust. They know they could knock on someone's door and ask for help. I'm not sure kids can do that in other communities."
The Zimmermans' sons, Alec and Austin, used to walk to Grand Ridge Elementary School, and from there to Blakely Hall, the developer-funded community center their mother managed. Now 14 and 11, the boys can walk anywhere in the community.
Zimmerman was disappointed it took so long for more than a small handful of stores to open, and that Grand Ridge Plaza isn't the University Village-type "lifestyle center" planned before a retail developer backed out.
But she says she's excited to see stores open and that restaurants are doing a "phenomenal" business.
Regency Centers' 325,000-square-foot Grand Ridge Plaza is a retail hybrid, with the small street-facing shops of a traditional Main Street in one area and the surface parking lots and big boxes of a strip mall in others.
In the beginning, old Issaquah and the Issaquah Highlands felt like separate places. But over time, Issaquah Mayor Ava Frisinger said, Highlands residents have become more and more integrated into the city of 32,000.
"I think people in the old part of town, as the Highlands has developed, feel a connection there," Frisinger said. "There are a lot of people who are happy to have Swedish Hospital there. They've also made friends. Kids with their sports activities and all kinds of things have gotten people connected."
City officials are pleased enough with the Issaquah Highlands that they've approved an even higher-density urban village on the Lakeside Industries gravel site next door, with 2,000 homes and buildings up to seven stories.
Old town, new town
Frisinger joined the City Council in 1986, as the city was considering the future of forested Grand Ridge, which rises above Interstate 90 just northeast of the old city limits. Because much of the older city core was subject to flooding, "We were happy to grasp the idea of an urban village" on higher ground.
As then-partners Port Blakely and Seattle Seahawks owner Ken Behring's Blackhawk Corp. were exploring development options in the early 1990s, their point man, Judd Kirk, routinely asked people at public meetings to name a community they loved and would like to see replicated.
Most people fondly recalled a place in Europe or in small-town New England or the Midwest.
"The reason that they liked those communities," said Kirk, who is now retired, "was the fundamental design that you had porches where you got to know your neighbor, you had small homes which were clustered — and again you got to know your neighbor — and you had narrow, tree-lined streets with things designed for pedestrians, not for cars."
Many residents talk glowingly about how easy and pleasant it is to walk in the area, often on parklike greenways, even if steep hills discourage some treks.
The internal trail system connects with seven miles of forested trails in King County's 1,300-acre Grand Ridge Park, carved out of land donated by Port Blakely.
In negotiations with Issaquah and King County, Port Blakely agreed to a little-used technique: For every acre of land added to the high-density urban growth area, 4 acres in the rural area would never be developed.
The Issaquah Highlands was also the first project in a city to boost its density by buying development rights from King County. Transfers of development rights saved 541 acres of nearby forestland.
Project abandoned
Building the mixed-use community envisioned by Port Blakely wasn't easy. While homes sold well, Microsoft abandoned its plans around 2000 to build a campus there, and a retail project died when the state delayed construction of an Interstate 90 interchange.
The direct link to the freeway opened in 2003.
In 2008, a second retail developer, Opus Northwest, abandoned its "High Streets" project that would have brought acres of stores topped by second-floor offices.
East King County's two other big planned communities landed retail centers sooner, Redmond Ridge with a strip mall, Snoqualmie Ridge in more of a Main Street style.
Significant portions of Redmond Ridge's and Snoqualmie Ridge's corporate parks remain empty, although Snoqualmie Ridge attracted three more employers and 600 jobs over the past year.
The Issaquah Highlands has become a significant medical destination, first with Proliance Medical Center in 2009. Proliance, which employs about 200 people, is planning to expand.
Swedish Medical Center, opened in 2011, brought another 1,000 jobs and is in discussions with city officials about a major expansion.
Port Blakely expects Grand Ridge Plaza to bring about 500 retail jobs.
Although Bellevue College has yet to flesh out its plans for its future campus, it has told city officials it could have 1,650 parking spaces and serve as many as 4,000 students.
The Issaquah Highlands, with a 1,000-stall park and ride, has easy freeway access and the most frequent bus service of the urban villages to employment centers in Seattle and Bellevue.
Redmond Ridge and its companion communities, Redmond Ridge East and Trilogy at Redmond Ridge, were built outside any city and connected to Redmond by mostly two-lane roads. Traffic congestion during commute hours is "nearly intolerable," said Redmond Mayor John Marchione.
"Redmond Ridge has always been difficult for Redmond in the sense that it is outside our borders but has a tremendous impact on the traffic on the east side of the city in particular," he said.
Twin villages still in the pipeline — YarrowBay's Lawson Hills and Villages projects in Black Diamond — will be even farther from major employment centers.
Drawbacks seen
While representatives of the Washington Environmental Council and Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust supported the original development agreement, some environmentalists are unhappy about the result.
"It's not good, concentrated, new urbanist growth," said Connie Marsh of the Issaquah Environmental Council. "It is something else ... Everybody pretty much has to get in their cars and drive everywhere, including the park and ride because very few people can walk to the park and ride."
If Grand Ridge had been developed instead with 5-acre lots, she said, "We still would have a forested hillside instead of a stripped abomination off I-90."
The Issaquah Highlands was largely laid out by Peter Calthorpe, an early advocate of "sustainable," transit-oriented development and a founder of the Congress for the New Urbanism.
"I guess the lesson here is that building a truly great town — this is a town, it's not a project — takes time," Calthorpe said. "We all tend to be very impatient and want to see the vision realized very quickly. It's naturally incremental."
Although initially disappointed that Microsoft didn't become the dominant employer it might have been, Calthorpe said recently, "This is probably for the best. Things are more interesting and quirky and more real when they happen over time."

Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park
Botanical Gardens in Golden Gate Park
We spent the day in San Francisco yesterday. We started at the de Young museum. Then we walked over to the Tea Gardens.
Next we walked to the botanical gardens.
Another beautiful place. I was mesmerized by all the texture I saw in plants, flowers and trees.
We enjoyed the wonderful scent of lemon balm and lavender in the Garden of Fragrance.
We made friends with the grey squirrels and turtles.
Finally, we headed to a playground where the kids could really climb around!
It was a great day. Everyone was tired when we got home.
My sixteen year old niece is coming to stay with us for the weekend. Goose is very excited!
She will be here tomorrow.
It will be a busy weekend!

Sven Andersson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 96 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
We need a symbol for the logo Fleetspares. The text part of the logo is already set but we need a symbol that feels like Aircraft and spare parts...
The existing company Fleetleader is about to launch a new concept called Fleetspares. As you can see at the homepage Fleetleader already has a logo. The logo for the new concept will have exactly the same text-style but we need a symbol that feels right. The symbol should feel like Aircraft, Parts from an Aircraft, Tech, Simple, Clear, Easy. It is important that the Fleetspares logo goes with the existing fleetleader logo.
We already have an idea for the fleetspares logo but we want it to be clearer. You can see an image here of what we mean. We want you to use the same color idea as in the fleetleader logo and in the fleetspares draft - one color with transparency that creates a second color when two colored objects are layered together.
For a quicker start and to get the right text use this eps-file of the fleetspares draft. Don't let the existing symbol in the eps-file limit your idea but use the color idea and have the simplicity and the 2D in mind.
- A symbol for the fleetspares logo
- The same color idea as seen here
- Use these keywords Aircraft, Parts from an Aircraft, Tech, Simple, Clear, Easy, 2D...
- Use exactly the same text as can be found in this eps-file.
- The symbol should be placed in the same space as in the drafts.
- The final result has to be delivered as vector graphics in eps-fomat.
- New ideas for the text
- NO more than two colors in the symbol

Michelle Crimi
As a child, Michelle Crimi didn't daydream about wearing a hazmat suit to work. But when she came to Clarkson in 1991, she followed her myriad interests in biology, chemistry, engineering and the environment, and she graduated with a degree in industrial hygiene and environmental toxicology. After earning an MS from Colorado State University and PhD from the Colorado School of Mines, Crimi returned to Clarkson in 2005 to join the Environmental Health Science faculty. As cool as she looks in that hazmat suit, most of her research happens in a lab far from toxic-waste sites, developing technologies for cleaning up contaminated groundwater and analyzing their long-term effectiveness.
Launched in 1984, Clarkson's environmental health science major was one of the first undergraduate programs of its kind. The curriculum blends chemistry, physiology, physics, toxicology and engineering to prepare students for careers in environmental risk analysis and remediation. Crimi's students get a head start on their careers by collaborating on many real-world issues.
"I e-mail Clarkson alumni who I graduated with, some whom are top executives in their field, and I ask them, 'What are some problems that you work on every day that I can share with my class?' "
Crimi presents those problems to her class for solutions. Instead of just plugging away at equations or canned lab work, students learn how to tackle open-ended scenarios using baseline skills and more than a little ingenuity.
Some of Crimi's class projects look more like co-ops and internships. EHS sends its seniors to the Alcoa plant in nearby Massena, N.Y., to complete a semester-long capstone project in occupational and environmental health. The students work directly with facility workers and plant managers who give them real responsibilities.
"They use our students' data," Crimi says. Last year, the students conducted a comprehensive noise survey for Alcoa. The year before, they ran an exposure assessment for one of the manufacturing processes on the Alcoa workline.
"That's the difference between Clarkson and some other schools I've attended and taught at: that real-world focus," says Crimi. "Clarkson puts students in challenging situations and helps them learn to solve multidisciplinary problems and to speak the language of people in other programs and other majors. I think that's one of the reasons why our students rise to such high levels in their jobs in such a short period of time."
The environmental health science program boasts nearly a 100 percent job placement rate. An alumna herself, Crimi understands the respect that Clarkson graduates have for the program and the reason they come back to recruit for experienced talent.
"We have more job offers than we have students to fill right them now because of our alumni network," says Crimi, who also helps get jobs for students in other majors. "They come to us for Clarkson students first."
In her own lab, Crimi has done a lot of research funded by the Department of Defense. Like heavy industrial polluters, the military "has been working at some of these sites for years, before many of these environmental regulations were even in existence," says Crimi, who typically becomes involved long after the original buildings have been torn down.
"There are very persistent chemicals that dissolve slowly over time into the groundwater, creating large plumes of contamination," says Crimi, whose specialty is "using chemicals to destroy chemicals."
Returning to Clarkson a decade after her graduation, Crimi says that a few things have changed: Enrollment has almost doubled, and more students are majoring in biology, chemistry and straight mathematics. But some things haven't changed at all.
"The students are what keep us motivated," she says. "They have an extremely strong work ethic and they really challenge you."
When we talked, Crimi was preparing to travel with a student to a contaminated site in North Carolina. We're sure she'll be bringing an extra hazmat suit.

Philly Building Collapse Inspector Commits Suicide
Philadelphia officials have identified an inspector who fatally shot himself a week after a building collapse that killed six people as a dedicated 16-year veteran of the Department of Licenses and Inspections.
Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison says 52-year-old inspector Ronald Wagenhoffer was found dead in his truck Wednesday night with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
City officials say he was the Department of Licenses and Inspections employee who conducted a May 14 inspection of the building, weeks before the June 5 collapse.
Gillison says the department is in mourning and Wagenhoffer "did nothing wrong." Wagenhoffer leaves behind a wife and son.
The downtown building was being demolished when it collapsed onto a neighboring Salvation Army Thrift Store, killing two employees and four customers. Police allege a heavy equipment operator had been high on marijuana.

After having spent the past two weeks running Battlegrounds (or doing questing in various MMOs), I queued for a Old Republic flashpoint. Since I'd leveled my first toon strictly via questing and the occasional heroic, I've been taking some time on these alts to explore the different flashpoints in the game. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but since I'd been playing a Rogue for such a straight stretch, I had to change my expectations.
Unfortunately, I didn't change them enough.
I got into the Collicoid War Game flashpoint, which was new to me, and I ended up spending part of the first phase of the game as a keyboard turner. For some reason my brain thought move = both mouse buttons, whereas on the turret it is move = right mouse button. When I kept hitting both mouse buttons, I kept getting kicked out of the turret. That was very nearly a disaster, as the collicoids closed to a dangerous level before I finally started blasting them to pieces.
Okay, that was a new flashpoint mistake. I could deal with that.
But what I couldn't deal with was that I kept pulling aggro.
I mean, I'm not on my glass cannon gunslinger, merely my Commando running DPS. I've finally got a rotation down for the Hutt expac changes, but I know that Commandos don't hit quite that hard. The only thing I could figure was that I was being too efficient with my rotation, which is an artifact of PvP. You know, the "OMG! OMG! Quick-quick-quick-hurry-hurry-hurry gotta-DPS-this-Druid-down-before-he-heals-and..... OH NO A LOCK! Dump the DoTs and Vanish!! Hurry Hurry Hurry!"
|Yeah, right. You try doing that in Eye of the Storm.
Spacing out my rotation helped, but it didn't really prepare me for the puzzle part of the flashpoint. "Over here!" became my name, synonymous with "Over here, Ki!" and "Ki! Not there, here! To my right!" Of course, I had no idea which toon was saying that until I clicked to find the right one. And then, on the last fight which was a boss fight transforming into another boss fight (think the middle boss transitioning into The Black Knight in Trial of the Champion and you've got the idea), everybody was frantically telling me to move to the middle.
|Okay, one more and then I shut it down for the night.

Monetary policy alternatives at the zero bound: an empirical assessment
Divisions of Research & Statistics and Monetary Affairs, Federal Reserve Board, 2004 - Business & Economics - 86 pages
"The success over the years in reducing inflation and, consequently, the average level of nominal interest rates has increased the likelihood that the nominal policy interest rate may become constrained by the zero lower bound. When that happens, a central bank can no longer stimulate aggregate demand by further interest-rate reductions and must rely on "non-standard" policy alternatives. To assess the potential effectiveness of such policies, we analyze the behavior of selected asset prices over short periods surrounding central bank statements or other types of financial or economic news and estimate "noarbitrage" models of the term structure for the United States and Japan. There is some evidence that central bank communications can help to shape public expectations of future policy actions and that asset purchases in large volume by a central bank would be able to affect the price or yield of the targeted asset"--Abstract.

The national expansion of the WWE in the mid-1980s killed off the territorial system. Mid-South Wrestling (later Universal Wrestling Federation) was a territory seeming to have the ability to breakthrough but with stars leaving by the busload, they ultimately were sold to the Jim Crockett's Mid-Atlantic territory in 1987. It has the star power and angles that were considered revolutionary at the time, a lot of which can be seen in Giants Midgets Heroes and Villains, a DVD featuring some of the best matches and angles from Mid-South Wrestling.
Mid-South was on fire in the early 1980s, run by promoter and former wrestler Bill Watts. He was a genius in booking but his temper and old-school ways would eventually catch up with him. In the short time that the WWE ran on national
cable's WTBS on Saturday evening in 1984, Mid-South ran mornings on the station. It became the highest rated show on cable at the time.
This DVD is a great chronicle of what made Mid-South so special. It mixed established names (Ric Flair, Andre the Giant) with emerging stars (Ted Dibiase, Junkyard Dog). Mix the names with exciting angles and you got Mid-South Wrestling.
The DVD is two and a half hours of matches and angles that really display a great sample of what made Mid-South stand out. The DVD wastes no time, as the first match has Ted Dibiase taking on Ric Flair for the NWA World title. Dick Murdoch decides to come to the ring before the match to talk to Dibiase. Without giving too much away, Dibiase is left a bloody mess.
Do not expect a history of Mid-South in this DVD. It features no documentary part and just cuts from match to match. It is not in chronological order either. So the wrestlers go from heel to face from match to match. It is for an old-time wrestling fan who just wants the angles and matches. There aren't any extras on this DVD.
A surprise is when a young Rick Steiner (announced as Rob Ricksteiner) appears to team with Steve Williams against Butch Reed and Jim Duggan. Steiner was just weeks into his career but already had the power and look that made his career.
Also, you see the early years of announcer Jim Ross, who showed he was going to be one of the greatest from his first years in the business.
The title of the DVD includes "Giants and Midgets" and this DVD delivers with King Kong Bundy and Andre the Giant filling the giant spot while Cowboy Lang and Little Tokyo filling the midget role.
Some disappoints of the DVD might be that they do not follow-up on some of the matches and angles shown. I would have hoped for a Murdoch vs. Dibiase grudge match as well as the Mr. Wrestling II turn on Magnum TA (they show the
two tagging). But I guess those can be left for future releases.
Fans need to catch these DVDs quickly as Mid-South is last of the bigger American promotions that have not sold their footage to the WWE. Micah Watts is in charge of the footage and helps edit and prepare this and future releases. Bill Watts lost the rights to the footage in the 1990s following a divorce from his wife, Ene Sooro.

Hi Guys,
I'm currently awaiting the arrival of my first ever rack/module - a nice Roland S-330...
Up until now, I've only ever felt comfortable with keyboards - I used to have an S-50 and loved it!
I've read a bit about the excellent Director-S software and have heard rumblings about there being a version out there that doesn't require the original program dongle.
Does anyone know where I'd be able to locate a copy, as I reckon it'd be much better than using an outboard sequencer.

Andrew Morehouse can envision several likely outcomes to the battle over the federal food assistance program that's now playing out in Congress. None of them is good.
Last week, the Senate approved a federal farm bill that will cost $955 billion over the next 10 years and includes $4 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, over that time period. Now the legislation moves to the House, where even more drastic SNAP cuts—$20.5 billion over 10 years—are proposed. Once the House passes its own version (at deadline, it looked as if a vote could happen as early as this week), a compromise bill will be hashed out in a conference committee.
"I hope to God it's neither of them," Morehouse said last week, as he considered the competing Senate and House proposals. Any cut to SNAP, he said, will lead to a dramatic increase in the number of people turning to already overburdened food pantries and other assistance programs. Morehouse, the executive director of the Food Bank of Western Mass., knows how hard it is to meet the current demand for food assistance. If the proposed cuts, which he calls "draconian," pass, "it's going to get really ugly," he said. "Everyone in our communities across Western Mass. will feel the impact of it."
SNAP is the largest food assistance program in the country. It's administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and funded through the farm bill, an omnibus piece of legislation that sets key agriculture and conservation policies for the country.
SNAP is the biggest farm bill program by far. It accounts for about three-quarters of total spending, making it an irresistible target for lawmakers looking to cut government expenditures. It's also grown steadily in recent years, a reflection of the still-struggling economy. In fiscal 2011, 44.7 million Americans received SNAP benefits, according to USDA figures; the next year, that number increased to 46.6 million. As of early June, 47.6 million people, in 23 million households, were receiving SNAP benefits. On average, they received $133.44 per person, or $276.15 per household, in monthly benefits.
In Massachusetts, 900,000 people—one in seven—receive SNAP benefits, said Morehouse. In the four western counties that the Food Bank serves, 166,000 people, or 85,000 households, rely in the program.
In addition to the $4 billion in SNAP cuts, the Senate version of the farm bill includes changes to some eligibility rules and eliminates the so-called "heat and eat" provision that allows states to link SNAP and heating assistance programs. While Massachusetts' Democratic senators, Elizabeth Warren and William "Mo" Cowan, spoke out in favor of SNAP, both ultimately voted for the bill. The day after the vote, Cowan, who chairs the Senate Agriculture Subcommittee on Nutrition, Specialty Crops, Food and Agricultural Research, lamented the SNAP cuts and called for that funding to be restored in the final version of the bill. Still, he said, the farm bill will help Massachusetts through several important provisions he promoted, including supports for local food markets and for fishermen.
The House version of the farm bill calls for more sweeping changes to the SNAP program. In addition to the $20.5 billion cut in spending over the coming decade, it also would alter eligibility requirements and benefits. According to a memo prepared by the Mass. Law Reform Institute, if the House version passes, more than 50,000 households in Massachusetts would lose their SNAP benefits, while another 100,000 would see their monthly benefits reduced by about $70 a month.
SNAP, Morehouse said, "really has a tremendous impact on people's lives," particularly the most vulnerable members of society: children, the elderly, the disabled. The recent economic downturn, as well as the steady decline in workers' real incomes over the past several decades, has expanded the pool of people who rely on food aid, like SNAP and food pantries. "Households are at a breaking point," Morehouse said. "People who criticize government benefit programs say, 'Leave it to the market.' Well, we'd like to leave it to the market, but the market isn't doing its job."
The program, Morehouse added, helps more than just recipients. It also has broader economic benefits, funneling money to food sellers, from supermarkets to local farmers who accept SNAP payments at farmers' markets. "It's an important federal anti-hunger program that's been proven over time. It works, and it benefits the economy," he said. "The last thing we should be doing is cutting SNAP. We need to be increasing SNAP benefits."
Right now, though, supporters of SNAP are fighting just to keep the program level-funded. Among those leading that fight are Rep. Jim McGovern, a Democrat whose 2nd Congressional District includes a large portion of the Valley, including Amherst, Greenfield and Northampton.
In February, McGovern launched an "End Hunger Now" campaign; since then, he's delivered more than a dozen speeches on the House floor calling for the protection of SNAP funding. Last week, he, along with about two dozen other House members, signed on for the "SNAP Challenge," agreeing to spend a week living on the budget of an aid recipient. (Stacey Monahan, interim commissioner for the Mass. Dept. of Transitional Assistance, and John Polanowicz, the state's secretary of health and human services, also participated.)
McGovern has been working with the activist group Progressive Democrats of America, which is pressing others in the party to stand up for the program. At deadline, PDA was organizing rallies, scheduled for June 17, at the district offices of a number of Democratic House members, including the Springfield office of Rep. Richie Neal of Massachusetts' 1st Congressional District. (Events were also planned at the offices of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, and Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee, among others.) Participants will call on those legislators to support an amendment sponsored by McGovern that would eliminate the proposed SNAP cuts. The rallies will also draw attention to the fact that, at the same time it's considering deep cuts to the nutrition program, the House is also considering increasing military spending by more than $5 billion. In addition, PDA plans "letter drops" this week at Congressional offices, calling on members to support SNAP.
PDA hopes those efforts will inspire Democratic legislators in positions of power to work with McGovern to save SNAP funding, Tim Carpenter, PDA's national director and a Florence resident, told the Advocate. "Where's the Democratic leadership on fundamental moral issues?" he asked.
McGovern was not available for comment at deadline. In a recent interview with In These Times, he criticized both Republicans for their hostility toward social welfare programs and fellow Democrats who remain on the sidelines of the SNAP fight. "If the Democratic Party doesn't stand with the poor and the vulnerable, then I don't know what the hell we stand for," McGovern said.
If House members don't vote to restore SNAP funding, Carpenter said, McGovern will move to kill the entire farm bill.•

Telenor's India unit said on Saturday it would close down its mobile phone services in Mumbai zone immediately after a court ordered that carriers whose permits were revoked and did not win fresh rights to airwaves must stop services.
Telenor's permits in 22 zones were among those ordered to be revoked by India's supreme court last year after a massive scandal over the grant of cellular licences in a 2008 sale.
Telenor won rights to airwaves in six of those zones in an auction in November and has said it might decide to bid for spectrum in Mumbai zone in an auction due in March.
"Unfortunately, we have no choice now but to follow the court's order and close down our network immediately," Sigve Brekke, managing director of Telenor's India operations, said in a statement.
The Telenor unit had 1.8 million customers in Mumbai as of December.

The following recall, that can be found here was issued this week.
July 26, 2010 – Biggers & Callaham LLC., D/B/A Mice Direct of Cleveland Georgia is recalling frozen reptile feed (mice, rats, chicks), because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella can affect animals and there is risk to humans from handling contaminated pet products. People handling contaminated pet food can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the product or any surfaces exposed to these products.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
The frozen reptile feed was distributed in all states, except Hawaii, through pet stores and by mail order and direct delivery.
Frozen reptile feed was shipped in plastic bags with the following product codes M-SP100, M-P100, M-PF100, M-F100, M-H100, M-W50, M-A50, M-JA25, R-P100, R-F50, R-PUP50, R-W50, R-S50, R-M20, R-L10,R-J5, R-C5, R-M3 followed by E9, F9, G9, H9, I9, J9, K9, L9 or A10, B10, C10, D10, E10, F10, G10 and whole frozen chicks in 25 count bags.
Human illnesses that may be related to the frozen reptile feed have been reported in 17 states. The recalled product should not be fed to animals, even after heating in a microwave oven, since the heating may not be adequate to kill Salmonella. The recall is based upon sampling by the FDA of frozen mice. The company continues their investigation.
Products shipped after 07/24/2010, will be irradiated in a similar manner as raw food for human consumption in order to address the Salmonella issue associated with these products.
Consumers who purchased reptile feed from Mice Direct are urged to contact Mice Direct by telephone at 888-747-0736 from 9:00a.m-5:00p.m EST Monday-Friday or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com for instructions concerning this recall and for credits towards replacement of unused product.

In NCAA women's summer league hoops action last Thursday, several Division II match-ups were on tap. The Orange team, staffed entirely by Philadelphia University players, bowed 69-53 to West Chester's summer entity, Team Vegas Gold. The Ash Grey squad, which includes several Chestnut Hill College athletes, had a much tougher time trying to stay with Royal Blue, which consists of women from Holy Family College. Royal romped, 52-29.
West Chester is a longtime member of the Pa. State Athletic Conference, while Chestnut Hill, Philly U., Holy Family, and University of the Sciences (Team Kelly Green in summer ball) make up most of the southern division in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.
Meanwhile, Mount St. Joe grad Elle Hagedorn and her league-leading Lime Green group received their toughest challenge up to this point in the young season. It wasn't until the final dozen minutes that Lime Green pushed their lead into double digits, eventually winning 75-62 over Columbia Blue.
Ash Grey has five Chestnut Hill College players on its roster, but not all of them were in attendance, while Royal Blue consists entirely of athletes used to playing together. Royal led early and kept pulling away until they had their rivals doubled up at 24-12 with a little over five minutes remaining in the first half. They still had a two-to-one advantage at halftime, when the count was 34-17, and the margin crept over 20 points by the middle of the second stanza.
CHC senior forward Lindsay Alexander had six points and sophomore guard Lila Jones scored five in the losing cause. Ash Grey also got five points from Brenna Coll, a Springside graduate who is a rising sophomore at Delaware Valley College. Royal Blue point guard Ana Cruz led all scorers with 13 points, and the winners got nine and eight points, respectively, from former Catholic Academies standouts Mary Ellen McCollum (St. Basil) and Erin Mann (Villa Maria).
The Philly U. Orange team got a three-pointer and a pair of free throws from Taylor Peltzer as it gained an early 8-5 lead over Vegas Gray, but West Chester-powered Vegas then went ahead for good with 12 unanswered points.
Vegas kept raising the stakes until it led 36-14, but former Central High star Najah Jacobs came off the bench to give Orange a spark in terms of ballhandling and defense, and the deficit was down to a dozen at the intermission, 42-26. Orange also got a boost in the low post from Mary Newell, an incoming freshman out of Villa Joseph Marie.
Orange played better in the second half than it had early in the opening period, but still didn't make any serious inroads into the Vegas girls' double-digit advantage. Germantown Academy grad Monica Schacker hooped her lone field goal during the second frame, a three-pointer from the left corner, but it was Peltzer and Newell who led the offense with 10 points apiece.
Forward Kendall Benovy had a game-high 14 points for Vegas Gold, which received 11 points from guard Tiffany Johnson, a rising sophomore out of Cheltenham High School.
Lime Green remained one of three undefeated franchises in the league thus far (along with Black and Hunter Green), but Thursday's win wasn't a cakewalk. At the guard spots, Upper Dublin High School grads Taylor Bryant ('12) and Shira Newman ('09) kept things cooking for Columbia Blue, and on the inside was 6'3" Princeton recruit Alex Wheatley. The Limeys leapt out to a 6-0 advantage, but Columbia quickly caught up and then went ahead, leading 18-15 just past the midway point of the half.
After narrowing the gap to one point, Lime Green moved back in front, 20-18, when forward Dana Mitchell converted off a rebound and added a free throw with 8:10 to go in the first period. By halftime, Lime's position was a little more secure, but certainly not unassailable, at 35-29. Mitchell had nine points in the book at the break, while Columbia had received 11 from Wheatley and nine from Bryant.
One of the keys for Lime in the second half was that they shut out Wheatley, which they really had to do in light of Bryant's 20-point explosion after the intermission (for a game-high 29). Several Lime Green ladies upped their output in the second half, as well, with Katie Kuester netting 12 of her 19 total points and Alicia Manning amassing eight of her 14 after the halftime huddle.
Columbia actually had the lead down to three points in the early stages of the second period, but with 13-and-a-half minutes to go Lime Green was up 46-37, and they led by 15 about seven minutes after that. The gap grew as large as 19 points (73-54) down the stretch before settling in at 13 for the final buzzer. Mitchell finished with 15 and Meg Pearson put in three three-pointers for the victors.

When students from the C.W. Henry School, 601 Carpenter Lane in Mt. Airy, perform "Little Mermaid" at the annual winter production this Thursday and Friday, Dec. 13 and 14, 7 p.m., at the school, two of the lead roles will be played by Henry students with professional experience.
Dominique Swift, 11, a sixth grader, appeared as Adeline White, the daughter of bootlegger Chalky White, a henchmen of Atlantic City whiskey don Nucky Thompson on season three of HBO's acclaimed "Boardwalk Empire." Eighth grader Jhayda Washington, 13, appeared on Fox 29's Good Day Philadelphia this past Memorial Day and sang "America the Beautiful."
"It brings the best out of the other children," said Nikki Paulino, show producer, director, choreographer, set designer and music teacher at Henry School about how the two more experienced elementary dramatists impact their fellow cast and crew members.
About 40 students make up the cast and crew who have practiced five days a week from 3 to 5 p.m. since school started in September. "When I'm on stage, sometimes I get nervous, but I just get lost in the words," said Swift, a Mt. Airy resident who also enjoys singing and cheerleading. She will play Ursula in the upcoming production. "When I sit down and set a goal to learn it, I learn it," she said about memorizing her lines.
Swift's stage journey started around 2010 when she saw a commercial on the Disney Channel, home to two of her favorite actresses, Selena Gomez and Dakota Fanning. It advertised a talent event where interested children could audition for a chance to perform in a showcase at Disney World in Orlando, Fla. in front of a group of talent agents, managers, directors and producers.
Her mom liked the fact that many individuals she might have had to contact on her own to establish industry contacts were all there in the same place. It was an opportunity for her to nurture and invest in her daughter's talent.
"I didn't have to hit the pavement," said Ayanna Holloway, Swift's mother. When Swift's initial application was accepted, they took a vacation to Disney and gave it a shot.
Afterwards, an agent offered his services to Swift. When his offer was declined, he decided to retain her anyway. That led to various auditions in Manhattan, including Broadway auditions for roles in "Annie" and "The Lion King." Swift almost earned a role in "The Lion King," but because she was too tall, she was forced to forfeit the opportunity.
Washington's vocal voyage is rooted in Gospel music. She started singing when she was 3, according to her father, Richard Washington, a drummer and piano teacher as well as the choir conductor at Mt. Tabor AME Church near 7th Street and Girard Avenue.
Washington, 13, will play Ariel in the upcoming production. This past weekend she sang at the Department of Human Services Junior Stakeholders Annual Banquet, where she was also honored as a "Stakeholder." The day before Election Day this year, she sang the Star Spangled Banner during former President Bill Clinton's speech at Montgomery County Community College.
According to her father, his daughter gets work through word of mouth or from someone who saw her perform on one occasion and would like to use her for another. That's how she was contacted about the Clinton affair. Her father plans to find her a full-time voice coach in order reach the next level.
"Back then she just had a really cute voice," said Paulino, who has been working with Washington since she entered kindergarten. Washington's been in a performance every year, but "Mermaid" marks Swift's second performance at Henry.
"Mermaid" will be Paulino's seventh produced show at the school. A 2004 music education graduate of Millersville University, Paulino, 30, earned her master's of education from Gratz College in 2010. Raised in Bucks County, the 2000 Council Rock High School graduate has also performed and served as music director at Town and Country Players in Doylestown.
"To be on the stage at all is amazing," said Paulino, who tries to find a role in the production of the show for every one who turns up at auditions. "It's a great outlet for [kids] when academics might not be their strongest suit … It builds a lot of friendships that never would have happened."
Ron Recko, former president of the Chestnut Hill Community Association, is the executive producer of "The Little Mermaid." According to Paulino, "Ron has raised almost $700 for us! He's been amazing. I think his next step will be Broadway!"
Tickets to "Mermaid" are $8 in advance, $10 at the door and $5 for children. For more information: 215-951-4006 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Antw needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
Clean and eye catching logo design for the personal development of theyoungbucks.com.
Hello, thanks for considering my contest. I am looking for a clean and yet eye catching logo design for my website The YoungBucks. The Young Bucks is a motivational lifestyle blog/website that helps readers achieve their dreams and the life they want. The Young Bucks centers around motivational interviews with individuals at a young age and encourages them to take there life to the next level.
In a few weeks I will be done with the website and so I would like a logo as well. The design will be very eye catching, creative i need to see really creative work and professional because I hope to turn The Young Bucks into a viable business.
So I just ask that the logo exemplifies personal development but also will be able to meet with subjects beyond that. The Young Bucks is going to be turned into a lifestyle magazine sort of like Heavy Hitters magazine. You can use that magazine to see where i want to go with the design cues.
Thanks – I look forward to your designs!
- Item 1...Clean,professional."Web 2.0" look.Easy to read font.I want the logo to look good whether it is located in a big or small header.If your logo is chosen if possible I would like to have 2 copies, one as a photoshop document and one as a gif.I want creativeUnique styling i have definite color scheme so whatever you guys feel looks best with the logo.Something out of this world. No simple logo's.
- Item 1...Hard to read font.Don't want all capital letters just the letters that are suppose to be.I Just want to let everyone know that the website has nothing to do with Deer or "bucks" it is bucks as in money not deer. The meaning for the title is a play on words it means "Young Bucks" as in young people with money and "Young Bucks" as in a slang term that the older generation uses to call "young individuals" Thank you just want to clarify.
