Botanical Garden Wedding Invitation
We recently finished this rather large letterpress wedding system designed by Priya Patel. Check out her fashion forward blog Love Made Visible. We asked her about the design: Priya: "The background for the design is that the couple are to be married in a botanical garden and the bride Neerja was really inspired by traditional Indian miniature paintings which often depict figures in natural settings. She wanted to incorporate a painting with her invitation so we printed one on vellum as a cover sheet for the invite."
Priya: "We needed to design invitations for not only her wedding in Virginia, but also a reception the weekend after in Texas that is hosted by the groom Neel's parents. We also wanted both events to be linked visually, thus the full color nature elements."
Since the invite was sized for a large A10 envelope, that made for a very large 13 x 20 press sheet that incorporated all the wedding cards. In this wedding, there were two main invite cards - the brides invitation and the grooms invitation. Plus the other reply cards, direction cards and sangeet invitation. That's a lot of letterpress! Producing multiple pieces on the same press sheet keeps the cost down.
We produced the design from Priya with a combination of letterpress and digital printing. Digital printing is used for the vellum sheet and the back of the reception card. All of the navy text is letterpress printed. The paper stock is 111lb (300gsm) Canaletto Grana Grossa 20% cotton from Gruppo Cordenons. We also die cut the contrasting navy paper for the folding enclosure using French Papers Nightshift Blue and mixed our printing ink to cordinate with the navy paper. The minimal typography and ornamental detail of this design were perfectly suited for letterpress printing and produced a beautiful sculptural impression.

Scott R. Reisinger, Bancroft School's headmaster since 1999, announced Tuesday that he will step down at the end of the 2013-14 school year.
"It's just time, I think," he said. His daughter graduated from the school last year, and he and his wife, Anne, have not decided what their next step will be. "Things are good here, and I'm excited about this next stage of the journey," he said.
Kevan T. Gibson, president of Bancroft's board of trustees, said it was a decision Mr. Reisinger made on his own, not at any urging from the board. It's unusual to have a headmaster for so many years, but Mr. Reisinger "was the right person at the right time," he said.
Mr. Reisinger's years at the school have brought a more diverse student body; aggressive integration of iPads and other technology into lessons; the construction of the McDonough Center, which houses the Lower and Middle schools; renovations to the Fuller Science Center; the installation of the city's largest private solar power array; and exchanges with Chinese educational officials, teachers and students.
"But the things that I'm really most proud of are the kids who've graduated from here and the colleagues I've managed to hire here," Mr. Reisinger said.
Before he leaves, he will oversee the start of the school's new Hope Graham Program for students with "language-based learning differences" such as dyslexia. The program is scheduled to start in the fall.
He also hopes to continue raising money for the school's strategic goals, which include increasing project-based learning and "advancing goodness" in a changing world.
Mr. Reisinger, who is in his mid-50s and lives in Worcester, is also a deacon at St. Peter Church and St. Andrew the Apostle Mission in the city. "Worcester is a great place," Mr. Reisinger said. "Should we move from Worcester, I would be very sad to do that."
The school's Board of Trustees will convene a search committee and hire a national search firm to help find and hire a new school chief within the next 12 months, according to a press release from the school.
Bancroft has approximately 500 students in preschool through Grade 12.

ROME, Ga.—Led by junior Rachelle Struthers, the No. 15 Birmingham-Southern women's golf team defeated No. 25 Rhodes College in a dual match, Sunday in Rome, Ga.
Struthers hit 82 for the round, followed by senior Jennifer Commander with 83, freshman Meredith Wollenman with 85, sophomore Ellen Chun with 88, and sophomore Kaleigh Toole with 90.
"It was good to start the season out with a win," Head Coach Casey Smith said. "I was especially pleased with the play of some of our less experienced players, who stepped up and played well. We were missing some of our top returning players - Katie Skeeles is out due to an injury, but will be back later this month to boost our lineup. We were also missing Michele Morris who is studying abroad in New Zealand this fall. We definitely have a long way to go to reach our potential, but it was a good starting point for our team."
The Panthers are back on the links on Sept. 25 at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala.

We can say with 100 percent certainty that, of all the people we've mentioned in this Media Approval Ratings business, Terry Bradshaw is the first whose bare ass we have seen. We're not sure which is worse: Having that happen, or admitting that we've seen Failure To Launch.
Anyway, Bradshaw, who apparently can spell "cat," has been on FOX forever now, it seems; remember when their "rollicking" halftime show seemed new? Oh, and according to Wikipedia, he "remains one pro football's most popular retired players. As of September 2007, Bradshaw was the top-ranked former pro football player in the Davie-Brown Index (DBI), which surveys consumers to determine a celebrity's appeal and trust levels." Hey, why would you not trust a guy who admitted doing steroids in his career? It helps the ass!
Anyway: Do you like the Terry Bradshaw? Do you not like the Terry Bradshaw? Woo!

no idea what to make of it
Jim Hansen, a former NASA scientist and advisor to Al Gore who was the first to put global warming on the public radar in 1988, wasn't fooled. "It's a fraud really, a fake," he said in December. "It's just worthless words."So, I guess the seas will continue to rise.
The worsening of tidal flooding in American coastal communities is largely a consequence of greenhouse gases from human activity, and the problem will grow far worse in coming decades, scientists reported Monday.Those emissions, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels, are causing the ocean to rise at the fastest rate since at least the founding of ancient Rome, the scientists said. They added that in the absence of human emissions, the ocean surface would be rising less rapidly and might even be falling.The increasingly routine tidal flooding is making life miserable in places like Miami Beach; Charleston, S.C.; and Norfolk, Va., even on sunny days….Such events are just an early harbinger of the coming damage, the new research suggests….Scientists say the recent climate agreement negotiated in Paris is not remotely ambitious enough to forestall a significant melting of Greenland and Antarctica, though if fully implemented, it may slow the pace somewhat."Ice simply melts faster when the temperatures get higher," Dr. Rahmstorf said. "That's just basic physics."
The only limitation to what the public relations man does comes when he discovers that the same people who perhaps can be "manipulated" to buy a certain kind of soap cannot be manipulated…to "buy" opinions and political views.Therefore the psychological premise of human manipulability has become one of the chief wares that are sold on the market of common and learned opinion. But such doctrines do not change the way people form opinions or prevent them from acting according to their own lights.[Secretary McNamara and his team] believed that politics is but a variety of public relations, and they were taken in by all the bizarre psychological premises underlying this belief….Image.making as global policy — victory in the battle "to win people's minds" — is indeed something new in the huge arsenal of human follies recorded in history….It may be natural for elected officeholders — who owe so much, or believe they owe so much, to their campaign managers — to think that manipulation is the ruler of the people's minds and hence the true ruler of the world….What is surprising is the eagerness of those scores of "intellectuals" who offered their enthusiastic help in this imaginary enterprise, perhaps because they were fascinated by the sheer size of the mental exercise it seemed to demand.— HANNAH ARENDT, Lying in Politics
In ancient times people built idols in their own images and worshiped them to ensure more favorable weather and prosperity. Today those icons take the form of computer models whose prophecies are sure to scare the bejesus out of us.
Under normal circumstances the liar is defeated by reality, for which there is no substitute; no matter how large the tissue of falehood that an experienced liar has to offer, it will never be large enough, even if he enlists the help of computers, to cover the immensity of factuality. The liar, who may get away with any number of single falsehoods, will find it impossible to get away with lying on principle.This is one of the lessons that could be learned from the totalitarian experiments and the totalitarian rulers' frightening confidence in the power of lying — in their ability, for instance, to rewrite history again and again to adapt the past to the "political line" of the present moment or to eliminate data that did not fit their ideology. Thus, in a socialist economy, they would deny that unemployment existed, the unemployed person simply becoming a non-person.The results of such experiments when undertaken by those in possession of the means of violence are terrible enough, but lasting deception is not among them.— HANNAH ARENT, Lying in Politics

Financial institutions across the country have begun preparing for a worst-case scenario if Congress fails to raise the nation's borrowing limit, assembling plans to offer customers emergency loans or waive fees if their federal pay or benefits checks do not arrive on time.
Navy Federal Credit Union, the largest in the country, said this week it would advance pay to direct-deposit members who are active-duty military or civilian employees of the Defense Department. It also said it would expedite approvals for lines of credit, overdraft programs and higher credit card limits.
A spokesman for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which oversees nationally chartered banks, said it is considering guidelines that would encourage financial institutions to work with their customers if checks are delayed, particularly in the case of overdraft or penalty fees.
Some of the nation's largest consumer banks, such as Bank of America and Wells Fargo, have not yet announced plans for customers in the event of a shutdown. A joint guidance is expected from the nation's banking regulators within the next few days.
The Treasury Department has said that unless lawmakers agree to a plan by Tuesday to increase the the amount of debt the government can take on, the country could risk being unable to pay all of its bills. That could result in a partial government shutdown and the delay of Social Security and other checks, creating havoc with family budgets.
Government payments that could be affected include not only Social Security and federal employees' salaries, but also military pay and food subsidies for low-income families.
"Every bank is doing things their own way to take care of their customers," said Richard Hunt, president of the Consumer Bankers Association, a trade group. "Obviously, they hope this deal is done quickly."
But the institutions must walk a fine line between alarming consumers and creating contingency plans, industry groups said.
"There's no sense creating more to the drama before it actually occurs," said Paul Merski, executive vice president of the Independent Community Bankers of America, a trade group.
As attempts to find a compromise on the debt ceiling repeatedly broke down this week, financial institutions began putting their customers on notice.
"Hard-working government employees and Social Security recipients shouldn't suffer because our lawmakers in Washington can't come to an agreement on spending," said Sonya McDonald, senior vice president of market development for Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union in Texas.
The credit union said it will provide those members with a one-time credit with no interest or fees so long as they had enrolled in direct deposit. It said it would contact members who may be affected by any shutdown.
The move by Navy Federal Credit Union generated messages of gratitude on its Facebook page.
"Praying the idiots who messed everything up in the first place fix this so we don't have to worry," one woman wrote. "Thank you for caring."
Another added: "This helps to ease the frustration tears."

Sporting nearly identical Fu Manchu mustaches, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and tight end Dennis Pitta also displayed a keen sense of awareness in the passing game and contributed to the team's 24-16 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday.
Without trusted wide receiver Anquan Boldin, who was deactivated because of a knee injury for the second consecutive game, Flacco targeted Pitta seven times, which tied rookie wide receiver Torrey Smith for the team lead.
Pitta's 62 receiving yards were a career and season best, and his six catches tied a career and season high set against the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 30.
"Some teams, we take what they give us," Pitta said. "Tonight, I was a big target for Joe, and we were able to complete some big balls in the game, and that's just kind of how it went."
Two of Pitta's receptions gained first downs, and he made two more catches during the offense's final series of the first half, which was capped by Pitta's nine-yard grab in the back right corner of the end zone to give the Ravens a 17-3 lead at halftime.
"He did a great job running up on the guy and breaking out to the corner," Flacco said. "The cornerback hugged up on Torrey, and I wanted to make sure that he had no shot at getting to it. So I laid it out in the back corner and he [Pitta] did a good job. Those balls do sometimes feel like they're going to take forever, so he did a good job making sure he went up and caught the ball and got himself down inbounds."
Several times, Pitta lined up as a wide receiver in the offense's two-tight end sets with Ed Dickson just outside the tackles. Pitta also spelled fullback Vonta Leach a few times.
"It's just one of those things where against certain looks – and obviously with Anquan out – I was able to flex out a little bit more and do some stuff out of that look," Pitta said. "There were just some good opportunities for us to make plays, and we were able to do that."
Yanda starts, makes key block for Rice's first TD
Not only did Marshal Yanda avoid missing his first start since Nov. 22, 2009, but the right guard also performed well against the Bengals.
Yanda had missed the previous two days of practice after suffering ribs and thigh bruises in Saturday's 20-14 win against the Cleveland Browns, but returned to practice Friday on a limited basis. Yanda, who was listed as doubtful, made his presence known when he prevented Cincinnati middle linebacker Rey Maualuga from getting to running back Ray Rice as he scampered 70 yards for a touchdown on the fourth play of the game.
"I was confident that if I got in there, I would be fine," Yanda said. "I didn't really know until this morning how I was going to feel. I figured, 'I'm going to give it a go and play.' I got loosened up, got the blood flowing, and felt good. We just stayed at it. And to break that big run on the fourth play, that was huge."
E.Reed takes responsibility
Ed Reed did not enjoy the kind of day he is accustomed to experiencing.
The free safety who was just voted to his eighth Pro Bowl barely missed grabbing his fourth interception of the season when Bengals rookie quarterback Andy Dalton overthrew tight end Donald Lee on a seam route in the end zone. Reed was also not happy about not preventing running back Bernard Scott from scoring on a 25-yard run off left tackle in the third quarter.
"He slipped past us," Reed said. "I should've made the tackle."
Cundiff makes triumphant return
Billy Cundiff's sore left calf wasn't a problem for the Ravens kicker Sunday.
Cundiff, who had sat out the team's win against the Browns and was questionable to play against the Bengals, converted a 42-yarder in the first quarter, made three extra points, and registered two touchbacks.
"There was no doubt in my mind I was going to play," said Cundiff, who set a single-season career high with 122 points. "I knew that if I could make it through a week of practice without any ill effects, it would hold up. I wanted to play, and I was really happy the coaches went ahead and gave me the green light."
Ravens absorb more injuries
The first-round bye in the AFC playoffs will be particularly useful as several Ravens players suffered injuries Sunday.
Rookie cornerback Jimmy Smith and strong safety Tom Zbikowski each sustained concussions. For Zbikowski, this is his second concussion of the season. His first concussion shelved him for two games and paved the way for Bernard Pollard to overtake him as the starting strong safety.
Inside linebackers Jameel McClain and Brendon Ayanbadejo suffered knee and quad sprains, respectively. Of the four injured players, only McClain was able to return to the contest.
End zone
In addition to Yanda, cornerback Cary Williams and defensive end Cory Redding took their customary starting roles on defense. Williams had been limited in practice last week by post-concussion symptoms, but led the team with three pass breakups and finished with six tackles. Redding, who did not play against Cleveland due to an injured right ankle, made four tackles. … In addition to Boldin, the team deactivated kicker Shayne Graham, inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (post-concussion symptoms), cornerback Danny Gorrer, outside linebacker Sergio Kindle, rookie running back Anthony Allen and rookie offensive tackle D.J. Jones. … Cincinnati scratched strong safety Taylor Mays (hamstring), outside linebacker Dontay Moch (illness), free safety Robert Sands, guard Otis Hudson, tight end Colin Cochart, wide receiver Armon Binns and defensive tackle Nick Hayden.

Subscribe To Soderbergh, Redford And Cruise All Want Sundance Breakout Star Brit Marling Updates
I've already subscribed
It wasn't even at Sundance, where she co-wrote and starred in two different hit films, that I realized Brit Marling was going to be a big deal. It was a few weeks later, when Marling popped up on Community as Britta's new "lesbian" friend, that she suddenly seemed to be everywhere. The actress who starred in Another Earth (recently released by Fox Searchlight) and Sound of My Voice (coming later this year) has a bewitching, serene quality about her that made her an instant It Girl at this year's Sundance-- and apparently her appeals have translated well beyond the indie sphere.
According to Vulture, no fewer than three huge names have been after Marling for their films in recent weeks. She apparently passes on a part in Magic Mike, Steven Soderbergh's "Channing Tatum stripper movie" set to star Alex Pettyfer as a younger version of Tatum. And now Robert Redford and Tom Cruise both want her for their respective films, Redford for his movie The Company You Keep in which he'll play a member of the Weather Underground unmasked after years on he lam, and Cruise for One Shot, the vehicle in which he'll play drifter-turned-investigator Jack Reacher. Christopher McQuarrie is the one actually directing that film, before you start entertaining images of Cruise himself knocking on Marling's door.
The reason she turned down Soderbergh is because of a commitment she's already made to her Sound of My Voice collaborator Zal Batmanglij, who is planning an October start for his follow-up The East, though Fox Searchlight still isn't sure they'll fund it unless a major star signs on. But both The Company You Keep and One Shot have September start dates that would also conflict with The East, so if she takes either of them, it might be a sign that The East is not moving forward as planned. Either way, it's interesting to see an actress who recently hit it so big with indie films trying to balance both commitments to her small-scale collaborators and what are probably some very alluring offers from Hollywood. The roles she'll play in any of those films probably won't be as fascinating and well-drawn as what she had to work with in Another Earth and Sound of My Voice, but the paychecks might give her and her collaborators bigger budgets to work with-- and in that case, everybody wins.

This examination is administered regularly prior to the beginning of the summer and fall terms. In exceptional cases, the examinations may be taken on an individual basis by special arrangement. All students seeking admission into the Master of Arts program in music are required to submit evidence of ability and special interest in their chosen area of specialization. An audition before members of the music faculty, in the applicant's major performance area, is required if the area of specialization is performance or music education. In addition to the audition, students specializing in music education must fulfill one of the following: a) from those applicants whose major performance area includes conducting, the submission of a sample of the applicant's taped choral and/or instrumental school-ensemble performances; b) the visitation and evaluation, by members of the music education faculty, of the applicant in his/her current teaching position; c) an interview before the chairperson of the music education area and one other music education faculty member. For students specializing in music theory/composition, or music history/literature, the evidence of ability and special interest may consist of scores, arrangements, or research papers.
Graduate assistantships are available in all areas of study. The deadline for applications is April 15 of the year in which fall enrollment is desired. Application forms for assistantships may be obtained from the Department of Music or from the School of Graduate Studies.
To fulfill the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in music, a student must complete 30 semester hours with the Thesis Option, or 34 hours with the Non-Thesis Option.
In addition, all music students must elect one of the following in consultation with the music department graduate adviser:
All degree candidates will be given written comprehensive final exams in music research, music history, music theory, and their area of specialization.
Area of Specialization: The areas of specialization are performance, piano pedagogy, music education, music theory/composition, conducting, and music history/literature. Courses for the specialization and electives will be chosen with the approval of the music department graduate adviser.
The Department of Music will normally accept a total of six to nine semester hours credit in transfer, subject to the approval of the Graduate Committee. A total of 24 semester hours credit may be accepted from WIU extension centers, subject to the approval of the Graduate Committee. No more than six hours of music workshop credit may count toward the Master of Arts degree.
Before the student is admitted to candidacy, a committee of four faculty members, consisting of the adviser and three members of the graduate faculty, will be chosen by a student in consultation with the graduate adviser. At least one member of the committee must be qualified in music history and literature, and at least one member of the committee must be qualified in music theory. Music education committees will have one of the above areas represented.
Course work for all programs may be completed in one year, but the degree in most circumstances will require two years for completion because of the recital and/or thesis requirements. Students who wish to pursue the performance specialization must be in residence during the regular term.

Pitching always in the back of Wells' mind
MESA, Ariz. -- If Casper Wells had his way, he'd be able to pitch and play the outfield in the big leagues.
"I'd love to do both," Wells said. "That'd be awesome. Babe Ruth did it."
MESA, Ariz. -- If Casper Wells had his way, he'd be able to pitch and play the outfield in the big leagues.
"I'd love to do both," Wells said. "That'd be awesome. Babe Ruth did it."
Wells hasn't had quite the success as Ruth in terms of either pitching or hitting. A career .230 hitter after four seasons in the big leagues, he's now a non-roster invitee on the Cubs, hoping to find a spot on the bench.
Last year, Wells, 29, became the first position player to pitch in both leagues, doing so for the White Sox on June 28 and the Phillies on Aug. 24. It was the first time he pitched since his days at Towson University in 2005.
"In college, all I knew was to throw a lot of fastballs," Wells said. "I didn't like to walk people, so I threw a lot of strikes. Playing this game for a while, you have to learn how to not throw strikes and throw more offspeed to get hitters off balance. I always pride myself on my arm. I've always had a good arm. It's just a God-given ability. I take pride in my arm and take care of it."
It's not as if he's doing side sessions to stay in shape.
"I take care of it like sleeping on my left side when I go to bed and do some arm exercises and make sure I do long toss," Wells said.
How did the White Sox know to use him?
"It was a situation where I was a guy not playing every day, and not a big money guy on the team, so it seemed like it was fitting," he said. "They asked if I had any kind of pitching experience, and I said, 'Yeah, I was a pitcher until I got drafted.' Even then, when my hitting was so-so, I was like, 'Can I do both?' It was an adjustment to do one thing, just hitting. I was always at practice doing both things."
He was surprised at how normal it felt being on the mound again.
"I just went out there, and I can't say it's like riding a bike, but at the same time, you tap into something in your mind and that your body is used to doing," he said. "It puts you in a different feeling. I still miss that feeling of pitching."
Has Wells considered focusing solely on pitching?
"I have that on the back burner that I can pitch," he said. "Sometimes you get frustrated with hitting. But at this point, I've built myself into being a guy who it's more advantageous to hit. [Pitching] is always there, so who knows?"
