Echoes of Egypt reverberate at Peabody Museum
"Echoes of Egypt: Conjuring the Land of the Pharaohs" doesn't approach ancient Egypt as ancient history.
Instead, the large-scale exhibition, which just opened at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, takes a holistic view of the ancient civilization and the impact of its art, architecture, language and literature, on cultures around the world and through the centuries.
Ancient and modern art and artifacts tell the story of early Egyptian civilizations alongside antique books, "magical gems," dioramas, interactive displays and a section illustrating the meaning and evolution of hieroglyphs - and, of course, a real "live" mummy.
A prime example of ancient Egypt's enduring presence in modern society is the entranceway to the exhibition. Visitors walk through a scaled-down reproduction of the gateway to New Haven's Grove Street Cemetery that mirrors monuments of the ancient Nile Valley. Henry Austin designed the gateway in 1839 and constructed locally in 1848.
There have been countless Egyptian revivals worldwide but, as Colleen Manassa, the exhibition curator and associate professor of Egyptology at Yale points out, this is "one of the most diverse collections of ancient Egyptian-influenced objects ever assembled."
She adds, "Exhibits that are so-called Egyptomania or Egyptian Revivals begin with Napoleon's invasion, so they only cover the last 200 years-we cover the last 2,000 years."
Manassa says the exhibit attempts to answer the "why" behind Egyptian revivals rather than just the "how," and that this is the first time this concept of Egyptosophy (the inclusion of ancient Egypt's magical and religious symbolism by later cultures) has been included in an overall exhibit about the ancient culture.
"We show the reputation of Egypt as a land of wisdom and magic and how it is that reputation which may have contributed to Egypt remaining so popular throughout the world in all of these different cultures for the past 2,000 years," Manassa notes.
A whole section of the exhibit, titled "Mummy-Mania," focuses on the cultural fascination with mummies through various media. The centerpiece is a diorama - created by artists at the Peabody Museum - of a family watching a mummy "unwrapping" event in Philadelphia during the 19th-century.
Manassa believes mummies are so intriguing because they have achieved a type of immortality unlike a body that is not visible, that is preserved under the ground. In modern burials or even cremations, the human form is not preserved in the same way, she points out.
"I think we're fascinated to be able to look into the face of an ancient individual who lived possibly 3,000 or even 4,000 years ago," she says.
"She's phenomenally well-preserved," Manassa adds, referring to the mummy in an ancient Egyptian case on loan from the Barnum Museum.
Other aspects of Egyptian revival in the exhibit include Egyptian-style objects from ancient Sudan, and reproduction of a 13th-century Italian sphinx using cutting-edge 3-D printing technology.
Another unique object on view is an unusual copy of a medieval Arabic attempt to translate hieroglyphs never before seen in the U.S., on loan from Bibliotheque nationale de France.
Manassa points to "Love's Labour Lost" by Edwin Longsden Long (1829-1891), one of the most successful painters of the Victorian period, as "one of the best examples of Egyptianized painting." On the large canvas on loan from the Dahesh Museum, a group of women are gathered and the artist has captured ancient Egyptian daily life, down to the last artifact and detail in the foreground and background.
The main point Manassa says she's trying to make in this exhibit is the universality of the appeal of ancient Egyptian civilization and that it predated any prejudices or creeds that exist in the modern world.
"I tried as much as possible to make that something that's very clear through the juxtaposition of all these different objects and also highlighting just how rich the holdings are at Yale University with some really key loans from other generous learning institutions," she says.
"I wanted to create an exhibit that really showcases this universal appeal of ancient Egypt - and that it's not just a Western phenomenon," she adds, "but it's something that ties people across time and across many different places.
"When we learn about history, history continues to live for us."

Thank you to R-Zu-2-U for links to their well researched exotic animal care pages! A thanks to all other exotic animal care sites as well!
|Please: If you wish to keep an exotic animal as a pet, DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST! Learn all about its care, proper diet, habits, permits required, etc. BEFORE you get any pet(s). Don't make your pet(s) suffer from simple ignorance. Exotic pets are often not for anyone, but that goes for non-exotic pets as well. Due to the fact that many exotics bond closely to their first owners and are difficult to place in new homes, an exotic pet is a responsibility that lasts the life of the animal. Be prepared to care for that animal for many years and make plans for their continued care if anything should happen to you. There are many web sites and books out there to help you learn if there are no local zoos or breeders who can help you. There are dozens of mailing lists you can join to meet other pet owners and learn from them. Read everything you can on the species and use common sense.

Royals rally past Astros
Houston, TX – Eric Hosmer tallied two hits with two runs scored and the Kansas City Royals used a four-run eighth inning to capture a 7-3 win over the Houston Astros in the middle test of a three-game set.
The Royals scored all of their runs over the last three frames.
"I thought we had some great at-bats," said Kansas City manager Ned Yost. "All of our guys did a great job to put some runs on the board."
Alex Gordon had three hits and a run scored for the Royals, who snapped a four-game skid. Bruce Chen (3-0) tossed a scoreless seventh to pick up the win.
Jimmy Paredes smacked a three-run homer, while starter Bud Norris fired six scoreless innings for Houston, which had won three of its last five tilts coming in.
"We're going to have to learn from the mistakes we made tonight," said Norris. "We got to capitalize tomorrow."
Paredes ripped a three-run shot just over the wall in right to make it 3-0 in the fourth, but the Royals pushed across two in the seventh and four more in the eighth to go ahead.
Hosmer and Lorenzo Cain hit back-to-back singles to lead off the seventh against Travis Blackley before Mike Moustakas grounded into a force out to put runners on the corners. George Kottaras struck out and Paul Clemens (1-2) toed the rubber in place of Blackley.
Pinch-hitter Alcides Escobar rolled a base hit up the middle to plate Hosmer before David Lough snuck a single through the hole on the right side to bring home Moustakas to reduce Kansas City's deficit to one.
Gordon walked and Billy Butler singled to start the eighth before Wesley Wright came on to pitch and gave up a base hit to Hosmer and load the bases with no outs.
Jose Cisnero took over on the mound and struck out Cain, but Moustakas singled through the hole on the right side to bring home Gordon. Cisnero then walked Kottaras to score Francoeur, who pinch ran for Butler, to put the Royals ahead. Hosmer was pushed across on Escobar's force out, and Moustakas came home when Altuve's relay throw on a potential inning-ending 4-6-3 double play bounced past Chris Carter at first base to make it 6-3.
Elliot Johnson came across on a passed ball in the ninth to increase to margin to 7-3.
Game Notes
Gordon is batting .500 (18-of-36) during a nine-game hitting streak ... The Royals went 4-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base.

This portrait, and the companion one of William, was probably painted in commemoration of their 50th wedding anniversary in 1836. Erastus Salisbury Field was born in Leverett, Massachusetts. He studied painting in New York with Samuel F. B. Morse in 1824. The following year he commenced working as an itinerant artist in Massachusetts, where he painted sharply delineated and colorful portraits.

'Everyone said we'd never win'
How an Royal Canadian Air Force medical officer took a sad-sack squad of airmen and built a team that brought home Olympic hockey gold
By Tom HAWTHORN, Special to The Globe and Mail Saturday, March 20, 2004 - Page F11
Victoria -- He was a hockey enthusiast who turned a makeshift team into world beaters. In 1947, Sandy WATSON was a Royal Canadian Air Force medical officer with an amateur's passion for hockey, but within a year he had put together a squad of airmen that overcame great odds to win an Olympic gold medal.
Dr. WATSON's part in the story of how the Royal Canadian Air Force triumphed at the Olympics began with the announcement that Canadian hockey officials had decided to skip the 1948 Winter Games. The news so upset the doctor, who died late last year at his home in Ottawa, that he vowed to create a team from scratch. "When I read the headline saying we -- this great hockey nation would not be sending a team, I was offended," he said. "And I thought maybe I could do something about it."
The International Olympic Committee had adopted tough new rules defining an amateur athlete. The Canadian Amateur Hockey Association felt the new standard eliminated most senior players from the competition.
With the entry deadline just 48 hours away, Dr. WATSON decided on what he would later describe as a whim to build a team from among fellow Royal Canadian Air Force members. The squadron leader won approval from hockey officials and superior officers in two frantic days of lobbying. Canada would take part in the Olympic tournament after all. Now all he needed were some players.
The Royal Canadian Air Force's postwar enrolment of 16,000 promised a wealth of hidden hockey talent. Dr. WATSON had managed a series of exhibition hockey games in England in the months following the defeat of Germany, pitting the air force against the army. The games featured such National Hockey League players as left-winger Roy CONACHER, a sniper for Royal Canadian Air Force teams during the war. Such professionals were ineligible for the Olympic team, of course, so Dr. WATSON knew the calibre of players would not be very high.
About 200 airmen were dispatched to Ottawa for a training camp in October, 1947. The volunteers were mostly a sad-sack lot, a shock for Dr. WATSON and coach Frank BOUCHER, an Royal Canadian Air Force sergeant. Some could barely skate.
The team made its public debut in an exhibition game played at the Auditorium in Ottawa on December 14, 1947. The opponents were McGill University's varsity team, deliberately chosen to offer minimal resistance. The air-force brass was in attendance, as were senior hockey officials and the governor-general, Earl Alexander of Tunis. To Dr. WATSON's horror, the McGill Redmen scored an easy 7-0 victory.
The newspapers were highly critical of the Olympic team. An all-Royal Canadian Air Force team seemed a folly. Senior officers in the air force could not have been happy about such a poor squad wearing the Royal Canadian Air Force roundel on their sweaters. They were likely to be embarrassed on the world stage.
Reinforcements were needed, so Dr. WATSON went hunting.
"We just put the thing together overnight, almost," he told the Medical Post in 1988. "Our guys had played together as a team for something less than three weeks before we left. The goaltender I never even met until we reached Europe."
Dr. WATSON's first move was to scout an Ottawa Senior League game. The New Edinburgh Burghs beat the Hull Volants 6-2, with five goals produced by a forward line of Reg SCHROETER, Ab RENAUD and Ted HIBBERD. Dr. WATSON invited the trio to join his squad, also taking former flying officer Frank DUNSTER and Pete LEICHNITZ.
Other players parachuted onto the team were defenceman Andre LAPPERIERE, a student at the University of Montreal; forwards George MARA and Wally HALDER from Toronto; and, goaltender Dick BALL, also from Toronto.
The recruits joined Louis LECOMPTE, Pat GUZZO, Irving TAILOR/TAYLOR, Andy GILPIN, Roy FORBES, Ross KING, Orval (Red) GRAVELLE and Hubert BROOKS on a team called the Royal Canadian Air Force Flyers, but whose military experience varied. While HIBBERD and LEICHNITZ were civilians sworn into the Royal Canadian Air Force with the rank of aircraftsman 1, Mr. BROOKS, a flying officer, had been a prisoner of war who escaped three times before joining Polish partisans. He was awarded the Military Cross.
With the team preparing to embark for Europe, Dr. WATSON faced another crisis. Mr. BALL, slated to be the starting goalie, failed his physical with a lung infection. Facing another 48-hour deadline, Dr. WATSON awoke Toronto bus driver Murray DOWEY with a telephone call at his home at 1 a.m. The practice goalie for the Toronto Maple Leafs was willing to play, but would need a leave of absence from his job. Dr. WATSON convinced his boss, Allan LAMPORT, a future mayor of Toronto, in a phone call at 1: 30 a.m.
Mr. DOWEY was called back at 2 a.m. and told to report at Downsview airport at 6 a.m. to catch an Royal Canadian Air Force plane to Ottawa. The airport was fogged in that morning, so a sleepy Mr. DOWEY caught a train to the capital.
His appearance did not immediately impress the team manager.
"Around noon a skinny, bedraggled kid, looking like something dragged through a knot hole, arrived at my office," Dr. WATSON once told the Ottawa Citizen. "We swore him in the Royal Canadian Air Force, got him kitted up with a uniform and he looked even worse."
The Canadians were given poor reviews by the European press. A tie and a one-goal victory over lightly regarded English teams did not auger well for the Flyers.
The round-robin Olympic tournament was held in an outdoor rink at St. Moritz, Switzerland. In the opening game, Sweden scored against Mr. DOWEY after just two minutes and 35 seconds of play. But the Canadian goalie would be the team's star and a crowd favourite with his innovative use of a catching glove. Canada beat Sweden 3-1, before rolling over Britain (3-0), Poland (15-0), Italy (21-1) and the United States (12-3).
A scoreless tie with Czechoslovakia was followed by a 12-0 drubbing of Austria. The gold-medal game was played against the Swiss hosts on February 8. Dodging snowballs thrown by local partisans, the Flyers won 3-0 to claim an unlikely gold medal and a place in Olympic lore. Canada finished with seven wins and one tie. Mr. DOWEY allowed just five goals in eight games for a miserly 0.62 average.
Two days later, Mr. BROOKS married his Danish sweetheart, Birthe GRONTVED, in a ceremony at a small church in St. Moritz. Barbara Ann SCOTT, the Canadian figure skater who also became an Olympic champion at those same Games, was the maid of honour and Dr. WATSON was best man.
The Flyers barnstormed Czechoslovakia, France, Belgium, Sweden, England and Scotland while overseas. They completed the European tour, including the Olympic matches, with a record of 31 wins, five losses, six ties.
"Nothing in my life gave me the same thrill (as) organizing that trip and then actually winning it," Dr. WATSON said.
While something told him that Canada had a chance, few at home believed it when the team set out.
"Everyone said we'd never win," he told the Medical Post. The headline in the Ottawa Citizen the day they left summed up the opinion of the sporting press: "The Flyers, like the Arabs, are folding their tents and silently stealing away."
Alexander Gardner WATSON was born on March 28, 1918, at Cellardyke, a fishing village on the north shore of Scotland's Firth of Forth. As captain of a minesweeper, his father had trawled for mines during the Gallipoli campaign of 1915. Long months spent fishing the dangerous waters of the North Sea seemed unsuitable for the father of a young family, so the WATSONs moved to the Ontario fishing village of Port Dover on Lake Erie when Sandy was a toddler.
A brilliant student, he spent a year studying at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, before completing a medical degree at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. He won a scholarship to Cambridge, where he earned a bachelor of surgery. He later studied at Harvard and Columbia Universities in the United States.
An Royal Canadian Air Force wing commander during the war, Dr. WATSON became in peacetime one of Canada's eminent ophthalmologists.
In 1967, he helped found the Sally Letson Foundation for post-graduate training. He served as the foundation's executive director for 25 years.
He was chairman of the department at the University of Ottawa medical school from 1968 to 1985. Dr. WATSON was the driving force behind the university's Eye Institute, which opened in 1992.
He was named a member of the Order of Canada in 1988.
Among his patients were a Parliamentary Guide's worth of notables, from governor-general Jeanne SAUVÉ to New Democratic Party leader T.C. (Tommy) DOUGLAS/DOUGLASS. He treated prime ministers John DIEFENBAKER, Lester PEARSON, Pierre TRUDEAU, Joe CLARK and Brian MULRONEY.
Dr. WATSON also became the eye specialist for the Montreal Canadiens, a legacy of his desperate plea for assistance while putting together the Royal Canadian Air Force team. The Canadiens contributed, while Conn SMYTHE of the Toronto Maple Leafs refused. (Major SMYTHE was army, of course.) One young prospect examined by Dr. WATSON was a gangly, teenaged goaltender who needed contact lenses. Dr. WATSON reported the goalie's vision was good, and Ken DRYDEN would lead the Canadiens to six Stanley Cups.
Dr. WATSON, who retired in 1997, died at home in Ottawa of prostate cancer on December 28. He leaves his wife, Patricia, sons John and Alexander, and five grandchildren. He also leaves a sister, Faye McVEAN. He was predeceased by a sister and a brother, who drowned as a teenager.
His death came just 17 days after that of Mr. BOUCHER, the coach, who also died in Ottawa. They are survived by eight of 17 players.

LeBron wins NBA MVP for fourth time
New York, NY – In a near-unanimous vote, Miami Heat forward LeBron James was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player for the 2012-13 season on Sunday.
It is James' fourth MVP award overall, all coming in the last five seasons, thanks to garnering all but one of the 121 first-place votes cast for a total of 1,207 points.
Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder finished a distant second, taking the most second-place votes with 93 and a total of 765 points. Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks -- who was given the other first-place nod -- finished in third, 732 points back of James.
The 28-year-old James became the fifth player in league history to capture at least four MVP awards. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar leads the way with six, followed by Michael Jordan and Bill Russell with five apiece. Wilt Chamberlain also garnered four.
James helped the Heat to a franchise-record 66 regular season victories by posting 26.8 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game. He scored 2,036 points this season, the eighth 2,000-point total of his career, while also becoming the youngest player in NBA history to post eight different 2,000- point seasons. He also shot a career-high 56.5 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from 3-point range this season.
The former Cleveland Cavaliers franchise icon also took home Player of the Month honors in each of the first six months of the campaign, becoming the first player in league history to be so honored five straight times in a single season. In addition, James was named the NBA's top player of the week on six more occasions, adding to his all-time league-best total of 43.
The defending NBA champion Heat will begin the Eastern Conference semifinals Monday night at home against the Chicago Bulls.

In the first 5 years of the event, we hosted luminaries such as Bruce Sterling (SCI-FI author), Adam Greenfield (Nokia), Luke Williams (frog design), Fabio Sergio (Frog Design), Elizabeth Churchill (Yahoo), Jeffrey Schnapp (Stanford University), Bruno Giussani (TED Global) and other renowned academics from educational institutions such as Tokyo University, MIT, Fraunhofer Institute and UCLA.
See complete presentation on the attached pdf file.
Our participants are young (most of 20-40) artists, developers, marketers, managers and programmers who are interested in digital design, technology and innovation.
Frontiers of Interaction is the only event in Italy that brings together such a diverse group of entrepreneurs, CEOs, early adopters and trendsetters with students, researchers and professionals.
Artemide, Nokia, Wired, Working Capital, Telecom Italia, Wave, frog design, Intesa Sanpaolo, Bastard
After spending our first three years in Milan (at Milano Bicocca University, 2005-2007), Frontiers of Interaction went on the road. Our 2008 conference took place in the 2008 World Design Capital, Turin (Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Museum of Contemporary Design, 2008), and for the 2009 and 2010 events, we gathered in Rome (at the marvelous and unconventional Acquario Romano).
To host high quality content for such a high level audience, we have created an event format that delivers a unique interactive experience.
Design an impactful website based on WordPress for the future home of the Frontiers of Interaction Conference!
1. Keep the logo on http://frontiersofinteraction.com (now redirecting to an other URL). Look around on the current website (ignore the language if you don't speak Italian), and the extensive social presence... The website itself will not serve as a social hub for the participants.
2. Use the *orange* color, but not too much. Apart from that you are welcome to change the current color scheme.
3. Make sure that there is a way to differentiate the main sponsors from the rest of the sponsors.
4. Create a header that uses full width photos (from the conference's Flickr stream), and overlays a strip of speaker photos like the example header 1 attached from http://www.web2expo.com/webexsf2011
Choose the photos to use from the following Flickr sets:
5. Create a footer that can accommodate multiple sections, like in the examples attached.
6. Take into account that the website will have to not only promote the main yearly Frontiers Of Interaction conference, but also other formats and events: FOI Kick-off, FOI Concert. Also, it will serve as the main website of FOI the company.
7. There will be a video portal page which will host (on a new service) the videos now on http://video.frontiersofinteraction.com.
The winning designer will have the opportunity of being considered for further work on the implementation project!

For the first time you have utterly disappointed me. You hail from the greatest city in the world, San Francisco, and you post a drink embellishing the Seachickens on the eve of the NFC Championship. You leave me hanging my head in shame. Other than that, it sounds like a great drink. :)

the only way you can possibly make this drink look even more ghastly is to throw in a small chunk of dry ice: it would make it bubble smoke like a bong!

My wife has ovarian cancer. A nutritionist advised not eating fresh fruits since they contain sugar and sugar is considered a "cancer feeder". Fruit supplements were recommended as a substitute. My wife loves fruit. Are there any fruits that have sugar content low enough to not be problematic for her?
I am not aware of any recommendation to reduce fruit intake for patients with cancer. While fruits do contain sugar, they also contain a whole array of nutrients that may be tremendously beneficial, and whole foods are a much better choice than supplements. (All our cells use sugar as a source of energy, and our body makes sugar from many foods we eat.) I suggest that your wife enjoy her fruits and vegetables. Click here to see how many servings are recommended each day. You might find it helpful to visit the websites of the American Institute of Cancer Research and the American Cancer Society for current recommendations, nutrition information and support groups.

Re: RPG: The Naltoon Assault
Ka patrolled and patrolled.
Then, he did something wrong....
He got bored for once.
He climbed onto his speeder and shooted off into the forest.
10 minutes later, he got hit by a stray blaster bolt. He carwheeled into a tree, and got knocked unconcious..........
" there he is! " a female voice stated.
" Huh? " said another female voice. " It can't be though! "
" I'm sure it is, ya know...." said a male voice.
The last thing Ka remembered was being picked up and propped on a holo-stretcher.....................

WASHINGTON — What does it mean to be unemployed? Depends on what country you're in.
Calculating the number of people who are unemployed seems like a pretty straightforward task. But the years since the Great Recession have highlighted the complexities of one of the country's the most critical economic indicators.
There is universal agreement that unemployed people meet two basic requirements: They don't have a job, and they want a job. Those characteristics separate the unemployed from, say, your 90-year-old grandmother who is retired and has no interest in working.
It is the third requirement that gets messy: Unemployed people must also be looking for work. But what counts as "looking for work"? Applying for a job? Scanning a job board? Updating your résumé? Signing up for LinkedIn?
The difficulty in settling on a single definition becomes clear when comparing the United States to our neighbors in the north. The official definition of unemployment in America requires "actively" looking for a job in the past month. That includes contacting an employer directly, visiting a job placement center and sending out your résumé. It specifically does not include so-called "passive" actions such as scanning a newspaper jobs section.
The opposite is true in Canada. The country's official statistical agency lists "looked at job ads" as one of the acceptable methods of searching for employment. Statistics Canada said that if the country's unemployment rate were adjusted to match the U.S. measurements, it would fall from 6.9 percent to 5.9 percent.
"Most industrialized countries, including Canada and the United States, subscribe to guidelines established by the International Labour Office for defining and measuring labour market status, including unemployment. However, the guidelines are, by design, rather imprecise, so that individual countries can interpret them within the context of their own labour markets," the agency says on its website.
In fact, until last year, the ILO was pretty lax in requiring countries – particularly in the developing world, where labor markets are still heavily informal – to incorporate "looking for work" into their definitions of unemployment. For example, South Africa used to publish two unemployment rates: an expanded rate of people who were simply out of a job and wanted to work and a strict rate of people who also had actually looked for a job or tried to start their own business. The differences could be stark: In 1999, the expanded unemployment rate was 36.2 percent, but the strict rate was 23.3 percent.
"It's messy enough in the high-income world where we have markets and statistics and surveys, but when you start going into the developing world, it becomes much more difficult," said Andrew Burns, lead economist of the Development Prospects Group at the World Bank. "The definitions all fall apart."
The ILO facilitates decisions by the International Conferences of Labour Statisticians. The group has tried to accommodate the world's evolving labor force by refining its wording. Countries are now required to include job search within their definitions of unemployment. Those who are out of a job and want a job but are not looking are considered part of the "potential workforce."
The ILO also now distinguishes between people who are employed and people who are working more broadly, for example, in subsistence agriculture.
Statistics are not just numbers. They are an attempt to categorize and quantify the infinite variations in human behavior. No wonder the data always feels incomplete.
"We're looking at this thing that we think we know what it is using different lenses," Burns said. "Depending on the lenses that you're using, you'll get a slightly different picture. There's no right and no wrong answer."

Narkov needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 191 designs submitted by 63 freelance designers.
As a start-up we are looking for a new logo. We will be selling business telecommunications products and also offering telemarketing related services. We need a clean design to go on our website, business cards and other stationary.
We are a new company selling telcommunications related products.
We are looking for a logo for our new telco related company. Ideally we would like a very simple, clean and easy to read logo. The logo must convey strength
- The word "ReachTEL" with the same capitilzation
- We have a preference for the color blue though it's not mandatory.
- A rectangular canvass. The logo can incorporate circles or rounded edges but don't make the canvas square shaped.
- The logo must be readable at a relatively small size (like a business card for example).
- It would be handy if the logo could be easily adapted to include a product name but don't let this damage the look of the main logo.
- Vector based image.
- Fancy scripting or font
- Too many colors. Keep it simple. 3 colors max (gradients excepted).
- Overly round graphics (see above re: rectangular canvas).
- Pictures of mobile phones or anything else that will look out of date two years down the track.
- Non-vector images.

TSX: 2008 Acura TSX - Body
When the TSX burst onto the scene, it featured many of the groundbreaking exterior styling cues that would appear in other Acura models such as the TL and RL in subsequent years. Familiar Acura cues were echoed in the TSX sheet metal, but in an emotional, evocative way that gave the TSX an aggressive, sporting appearance. The cleanly distinctive body form of the TSX also conveys a strong commitment to aerodynamics.
Underneath the TSX exterior shape is an extremely rigid unit body structure that serves as the foundation for the car's spirited driving demeanor. The use of special high-strength materials and advanced computer modeling provide the TSX driver with a performance experience that lives up to the car's visual promise.
All told, the TSX embodies stylish performance and craftsmanship, while bringing added excitement to the Acura line.
The rigid and aerodynamic body of the TSX is styled to emphasize performance. Its 105.1-inch wheelbase pushes the wheels to the corners of the body to allow more interior space, while the rounded cabin serves as an efficient aerodynamic shape. The result is a tight European-style exterior appearance and maximum interior space.
Overall lines are crisp and taut, with a muscular tension that promises performance in a clear but understated way. In front, the TSX features a sporty headlight treatment with thin, angular turn signals, and a low, powerful looking bumper with integrated oval fog lamps. Above the signature Acura grille, a distinct style line runs back along the hood. Large air openings beneath the front bumper guide airflow to the radiator.
The body sides have a crisp style line starting at the top of the front fender flare and gradually rising to the rear. Thick C-pillars offer a high level of structural strength and rollover protection while advancing the car's muscular appearance. Chrome-plated door pulls are luxurious in appearance, feel and operation. Exceptionally narrow body gaps speak of precision engineering and attention to detail. Additionally, the substantial side sills curl outward along the cabin and accent the 17x7-inch nine-spoke alloy wheels.
In back, the rear window slopes at a shallow angle to meet a short/high trunk lid. The trunk lid terminates sharply to help air separate cleanly off the back of the car at high speeds, reducing turbulence and improving stability and fuel economy. The rear bumper and taillights have a low, aggressive appearance.
The all-glass windshield reflects UV rays to help keep the interior cool.
Static and Dynamic Stiffness
The calling card for any sports sedan is its structural stiffness. With the TSX, an immensely strong unit body is required to provide a quiet and squeak-free interior, to allow the suspension to be tuned both for road holding and for a comfortable ride, and to provide the excellent crash safety. The Acura TSX unit body was computer engineered and modeled to give the car precisely these traits.
Achieving superior rigidity and balance of front/rear stiffness required special attention to the front bulkhead and the area in front of the radiator, below the front fender edges, at the bottom of the B-pillars and the area in and around the C-pillars. The results were worth the effort, as the TSX offers maximum strength with minimum weight, a body structure highly resistant to squeaks and rattles, extremely sharp handling characteristics, and minimal levels of noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
Aerodynamic Performance
Outstanding aerodynamic performance was a primary focus of TSX designers. This pursuit of airflow control paid off on many levels, including interior quietness from wind noise, a low aerodynamic drag coefficient (Cd) for superior efficiency, and excellent handling stability at high speeds. The aerodynamic Cd of the TSX is among the top in its class, according to internal testing.
The concept behind the tapered front end and rounded cabin of the TSX is to let air flow smoothly around the front bumper and body sides. Engineers worked to remove the gap between each wheel arch and tire to reduce airflow disturbance. To better control airflow around each wheel and tire, minimizing turbulence, the TSX also has polypropylene inner fenders, engine undercover, mid-floor and a rear floor covers, and air dams located underneath the body at the forward edge of each wheel well.
Wind Noise
In simple terms, aerodynamic turbulence causes noise and drag. Therefore, the same methodology that improves aerodynamic performance also lowers wind noise inside the passenger cabin. In the TSX, one significant gain comes from the shape of the A-pillars and the outside mirrors. The mirrors incorporate a modest V-angle that helps separate the air over and under the mirror, thus reducing turbulence and noise. By studying the airflow through the channel between the mirror and the A-pillar, engineers learned that the speed of the passing air stream through the channel had a pronounced effect on noise levels inside the car. When air accelerates through this channel, it creates high-frequency wind noise. However, shaping this channel as an expanding V-shaped passage opening toward the rear (along with carefully shaping the A-pillar, and contouring and precisely positioning the mirror housing) helps keep air from "peeling" or tumbling across the glass. Eliminating this vortex substantially reduces both mid- and high frequency noises-a reduction of as much as 1.4 decibels at some speeds. Mid- and high-frequency wind noises are very low in the Acura TSX compared to its competitors. Occupants hear the advantage on every drive, but it is particularly beneficial at highway speeds or when side winds are present.
Wheels, Tires And Tight Fitting Wheel Arches
The Acura TSX has generously sized P215/50R17 tires that fill out the wheel arches nicely, giving the car a distinguished, muscular appearance. In addition, close tolerances between the tires and the wheel arches improve both appearance and aerodynamic performance. The TSX features nine-spoke alloy wheels to complement the car's overall aggressive appearance.
The TSX comes standard with Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) low beam headlights and halogen high beams. With their wider beam pattern and roughly 100-foot greater range than ordinary halogen lamps, HID headlights are an effective safety feature. The "color" of the Xenon light appears to be somewhat blue compared to conventional headlights with their yellow tinge, but HID headlamps reveal truer colors and provide better clarity than halogen lights. HID is three times as efficient as conventional halogen lamps (using less electrical energy) and produce nearly twice the illumination with more than double the bulb life. In front, the angular turn signal is integrated into the headlight housing. In the rear, separate round brake and turn-signal lamps, tail lamps, and back-up lamps lend a performance-car appearance.
In addition, the TSX features standard fog lights integrated into the lower bumper. These fog lights provide enhanced visibility in combination with the HID headlights.
Glass Area and Visibility
Safety and driving enjoyment are both dependent on good outside visibility. The Acura TSX offers 284-degrees of outward visibility. Engineers worked especially hard on making the rear 3/4 view expansive for added safety in traffic and to ease parking.
The windshield, backlight and side glass all reduce the penetration of ultraviolet (UV) light into the cabin, creating a more relaxed driving environment and helping prolong the interior material finishes. The TSX is also equipped with flat windshield wipers to further enhance visibility.
Power Glass Moonroof
The moonroof of the TSX is a point of pride for the Acura engineering team. It starts with a rigid roof structure that permits a solid mounting position for the glass panel and
mechanism. The tinted glass panel fits flush with the roof exterior and features a flush seal that reduces the chance of wind noise while simultaneously improving appearance.
A special linkage and motor are designed to operate quietly. Together with a pop-up air deflector, this makes the moonroof quiet to operate and quiet in operation. A sliding interior sunshade helps keep the interior cool and to shade the passengers from unwanted sunlight when the moonroof is closed.
To simplify wiring and to add functionality to the electrical system, the TSX has multiplexed wiring. With multiplexing, a single wire can carry multiple command signals simultaneously. Each signal carries a unique binary code that is only recognized by the intended target location.
Multiplex wiring makes features like the programmed instrument and interior illumination and keyed and keyless power window control possible. It also dramatically reduces wiring complexity, cost and weight, while improving electrical-system reliability and durability.
Some of the most powerful luxury cues a car can give its owner are almost subconscious. One example is the sound of a door closing. Acura engineers methodically refined the design of the door sashes of the TSX (the surrounding door structure) to reduce high-frequency resonance excited when the doors are closed.
The door latches themselves are carefully engineered to latch securely with a light closing pressure, and to emit a quality sound. Acura engineers also designed a special "bumping door seal" that purposefully transmits a certain low-frequency vibration to the door itself. This desirable vibration is heard as a substantial sound as the door closes, evoking the impression of substance and quality.
Even tiny details like a door checker-the mechanism that limits the door's maximum opening-play a part in perceptions of quality. That's why the TSX doors use a type of checker that lets the door open more fluidly, yet has a pronounced detent at intermediate, partially open positions.
Color Palette
The TSX is available in nine colors for the 2008 model year. The two metallic colors are: Alabaster Silver Metallic and Glacier Blue Metallic. Those with pearl-based colors are:
Premium White Pearl, Deep Green Pearl, Arctic Blue Pearl, Royal Blue Pearl, Carbon Gray Pearl and Nighthawk Black Pearl. The TSX is also available in Milano Red.
NVH measures
Engineers took aim squarely at noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) when designing the TSX. In front, the engine/suspension subframe uses a vibration-canceling structure and highly rigid aluminum engine mounts to help keep engine and road vibration from entering the passenger cabin. The rear suspension subframe uses stiff construction and beefy box-section dimensions to reduce the transmission of road shock and vibration. Acura has reduced road noise by 0.5 dB by adding two reinforcements to each upper control arm, providing increased strength and resulting in less vibration being transmitted to the cabin.
Interior quietness is also enhanced through the use of a special sound-absorbing roof lining and urethane molded floor liner along with instrument panel and rear wheelhouse insulators. Additional measures include an under-hood insulator, special noise insulation in the front fender bulkheads, a rear tray (parcel shelf) insulator, and a "melt sheet" sandwich panel in the dashboard. An array of polypropylene underbody panels reduces road noise as well as direct airflow.
Since the engine is the heaviest concentrated component in a vehicle, and the source of significant vibration, the mounting system that supports it has a profound effect on interior noise levels, handling and overall driving characteristics. Isolating the engine from the body with "soft" mounts can make for good NVH characteristics, but can wreak havoc on handling and driveline performance as the engine moves on its mounts. Conversely, locking the engine in place (as is commonly done with a race car) is the best from a handling standpoint, but guarantees unbearable NVH performance. For the TSX, neither mounting extreme was appropriate. The TSX uses a carefully orchestrated system of six mounts to combine impressively high levels of isolation with stable engine placement for precise handling.
Two mounts are placed below the TSX engine's center of gravity that attach the engine to the front subframe which itself is isolated from the car's body by bolted rubber mounts. The forward-most of these two "center of gravity" engine mounts is an electronically controlled hydraulic unit with variable dual-mode stiffness. It switches between a setting optimized for damping vibration at idle, and another firmer setting for higher speeds and rougher roads. The rear most of the center of gravity mounts is a non-adjusting hydraulic unit.
To keep the engine properly positioned during severe maneuvering, another electronically controlled dual-mode mount is placed high on the right side of the engine to tie it to the body structure. Finally, to carry the weight of the transmission and limit powertrain movement, a series of three mounts position the transmission.
Anti-Corrosion Measures
The Acura TSX is built from the unit body up to resist corrosion over the years and miles. This process begins with the use of galvanized steel throughout the unit body, which provides excellent resistance to corrosion. Once assembled, the galvanized unit body assembly is immersed in an electroplating bath, seams are filled with highly durable sealants and key underbody areas receive anti-chipping coatings. Only then is the body primed and painted with the top coats.
The Acura TSX body, like that on all Acura models, is covered by a 5-year/unlimited-mile limited warranty for outer body rust-through.

Author Wieseltier's Book Reviews
This is a combination of journal and research project which Wieseltier tackled in response to his father's death. The author, a literary critic and journalist, was not a particularly observant Jew up to that time, but decided to take the Orthodox course of going to the synogogue to say kaddish, the prayer for the dead, every day for the year following his father's death. He also researched the history of kaddish and various rabbis' commentaries and tales...

Memento mori is a Latin phrase that may be freely translated as "Remember that you are mortal," "Remember you will die," or "Remember your death". It names a genre of artistic creations that vary widely from one another, but which all share the same purpose, which is to remind people of their own mortality.
In ancient Rome, the phrase is said to have been used on the occasions when a Roman general was parading through the streets of Rome. Standing behind the victorious general was a servant, and he had the task of reminding the general that, though he was up on the peak today, tomorrow was another day. The servant did this by telling the general that he should remember that he was mortal, i.e. "Memento mori", although it is more likely that the servant said "Respice post te! Hominem te esse memento!" (Look behind you! Remember that you are but a man!) as Tertullian has written in chapter 33 of his work Apologeticus.
Memento mori was also an important literary theme. Well known literary meditations on death in English prose include Sir Thomas Browne's Hydriotaphia, Urn Burial and Jeremy Taylor's Holy Living and Holy Dying. These works were part of a Jacobean cult of melancholia that marked the end of the Elizabethan era. In the late eighteenth century, literary elegies were a common genre; Thomas Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard and Edward Young's Night Thoughts were typical members of the genre.
Much memento mori art is associated with the Mexican festival, Day of the Dead, including even skull-shaped candies, and bread loaves adorned with bread "bones".
A modern literary variation on the memento mori may be found, for instance, in the short story El inmortal ("The Immortal," from the 1949 collection El Aleph), by Jorge Luis Borges. In 1959, British novelist Muriel Spark wrote a novel entitled "Memento Mori." Also, a recent short story by Jonathan Nolan entitled Memento Mori was made into the movie, Memento by his brother Christopher. In The Austere Academy (part of A Series of Unfortunate Events) by Lemony Snicket, the motto of the school is "Memento Mori"
