The Avalon Theatre has been a cornerstone of northwest Washington, D.C. since the theater opened in February 1923. In April 2003, the Avalon became a nonprofit theater operated by The Avalon Theatre Project. As an independent, nonprofit theater, the Avalon offers exciting and diverse programming that includes outstanding first-run commercial films, independent and foreign films, documentaries, film festivals, and special programs for families and seniors. The Avalon Café opened in April 2009 in one of the theater's retail spaces and enhances the movie-going experience with our gourmet food and beverages.
The Early Years
The Avalon Theatre was originally named the Chevy Chase Theatre and was built to show the silent films of the time. The large auditorium seated 1,200 (it now seats 450), and musical accompaniment came from a large pipe organ. The theater would have had significantly greater seating capacity had plans for a balcony been completed. The second floor space was instead occupied for many years by the Chevy Chase School of Music and later a ballet studio. The theater was also flanked by two retail spaces that were rented to a variety of neighborhood businesses. After the advent of the "talkies", the theater was "wired for sound" in 1929. The theater also became one of the Warner Brothers neighborhood theaters in 1929, and its name was changed to the Avalon.
The Avalon changed owners several times in the next eighty years, and the building was regularly renovated and redecorated. Some of the more significant architectural and structural changes included the installation of air conditioning in the late 1930's, the construction in 1970 of a second 200 seat theater, Avalon 2, in the upstairs space that had been occupied by the dance studio, and the creation of the striking ceiling mural in the large auditorium in 1985. The last commercial owners declared bankruptcy in 2001, and they closed the theater and stripped the building of its seats and projection equipment.
The Avalon Theatre Project
Neighborhood support was strongly in favor of preserving the theater following its closure in 2001. Many of the original movie theaters in Washington had been demolished or converted to retail use, and the Avalon neighbors feared the same would happen to their theater. The Avalon Theatre Project was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in November 2001, and with fundraising help from foundations, D.C. city government and many individuals, restoration of the building began in October 2002. The Avalon reopened to great excitement on April 23, 2003.
The Future
The Avalon Theatre Project purchased the theater building in 2006 and recently completed a capital campaign to raise money for necessary infrastructure improvements as well as an elevator to Avalon 2, the second floor theater. Programming continues to develop with the best of a wide range of commercial and independent movies, film festivals, and special events. With continuing support of its neighbors and friends, the Avalon will continue to be a rich and vital cultural resource for the neighborhood and the metro D. C. area.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Indiana Pacers reserve center Jeff Foster is expected to miss at least a week with a sore lower back.
Pacers coach Frank Vogel said Foster had a recent procedure to fix the ailment, and he could be out for two weeks and possibly more. He already had missed three of the past four games and will sit out Tuesday night's game against Atlanta.
The 13-year veteran has played in just 11 games this season because of injuries, averaging 2.3 points and 3.8 rebounds.
Vogel said Lou Amundson will continue to play more minutes in Foster's absence.

Excellent product for the hunter. Silver Bear always just a little more, and well worth it. Still a very economical price for a great product.
This ammo is very good. The softpoint allows hunting with the Mosin-Nagant. These bullets are a great value
The zinc coated Silver Bear 7.62X54R rounds I purchase for my Mosin-Nagant are an excellent round. They are a great compromise between the expensive brass cased reloadable rounds available and the cheaper, polymer coated Brown Bear. I will continue to buy as long as they are available.
I like the silver bear a little better but you have good ammo. prices.
Excellent 7.62x54r.
I purchased the silver bear 7.62x54r 203 GR ammo and it sure packs a punch. Great ammo.

Gov. Cuomo's approval rating falls below 50% for the first time
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's approval rating fell below 50 percent for the first time during his administration, according to a new poll released Monday.
Of New York state voters surveyed by the Siena College poll, 49 percent rated the Democratic governor's job performance as "excellent" or "good," while 50 percent deemed it "fair" or "poor."
The results were a slight drop from last month, when his approval was 52-46 percent.
Still, 64 percent of voters had a favorable opinion of the governor, with 52 percent saying they would re-elect him "as things stand now."
In New York City, Cuomo's approval was higher, at 61 percent, and his favorability was 75 percent.
The poll surveyed 807 registered voters in the state, 38 percent of whom reside in the city.
The poll had a margin of error plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

PORTAGE (WKZO) -- It's an old scam with a brand new refinement.
Portage Police say victims receive a phone call from someone claiming to be your nephew Mike or cousin Louise and they are hysterical because they are out of the country and have been arrested and need bail. Everyone sounds the same when they are hysterical, and they hand the phone off to someone who explains the situation.
They talk you into sending thousands of dollars and once it's over the border, its gone and never coming back. The whole time nephew Mike was in his dorm room and you have been taken for thousands.
Portage police say they can be very believable and persuasive. If you get such a call, just hang up and call the police. Whatever you do don't send money.

It's always a bit of a gamble, taking a flyer on an aging star and hoping he still has some of it – whatever it was that made him great for all those years – left in the tank.
We know what he has done; we wonder what he can still do.
That's the gamble the Saskatchewan Roughriders took this off-season when they traded for aging star Geroy Simon before he was released and free to sign with the highest bidder.
Granted the Roughriders gave up little to acquire Simon, sending in exchange the since-released Justin Harper and a third-round pick in the 2014 draft, but they are still banking on him to be not only a leader off the field but a productive player on it as well.
Simon leaves the Lions as the league's all-time leading receiver with 15,887 yards. He's nearing in on 1,000 career catches and has found the end zone a total of 100 times. But perhaps of more interest to the Roughriders are Simon's stats from a year ago. With just 54 catches for 700 yards, it was the first time in 10 seasons the 2006 Most Outstanding Player failed to eclipse 1,000 yards receiving.
Of course injuries played a part in Simon's subpar stat line of 2012 – he played in only 13 regular season games – but injuries could become a consistent concern for Simon, who missed just three games in the 10 years before last season, as he continues to age. It's worth noting the two-time Grey Cup champion left the only pre-season game he suited up for this year with an undisclosed injury.
Injuries aside, at 37-years-old is Simon the type of player that can stay productive even as his physical skills decline? Had he been healthy for a full 18 games last year, his projected numbers fall just short of a 1,000-yard season, one year after collecting 1,350 yards through the air.
Simon will never be remembered as anything but a BC Lion, no amount of heroics in Saskatchewan this year will change that. But that doesn't have to be the case for this trade to be considered a success for the Roughriders.
Last year Henry Burris moved east after the Calgary Stampeders felt they no longer required the veteran's services and had perhaps the best statistical year of his lengthy career. Simon's move isn't as far east, but he'll be looking to mimic Burris' resurgent season.
The Rouge asks: Can Geroy Simon still be 'super' in Saskatchewan? You've heard what we've had to say, now it's your turn. As always, it's Your! Call.

Three years ago, FOX 32 reported on a Streamwood man who was killed while behind the wheel of his Toyota Corolla. His family claimed it was a case of unintended sudden acceleration, and remarkably, the entire incident was caught on surveillance cameras.
Now, the Toyota company has indicated its willing to settle many of these cases, rather than fight them in court.
In May of 2010, Leo Przbylowski was leaving a South Elgin strip mall when he backed into one parked car, then sped forward ramming into another parked car. He then pushed that car out of the way, swerving to avoid hitting the strip mall and crashed into a brick wall.
The 87-year-old Przbylowski died from the accident, but before passing away, he said the car had taken off like a jackrabbit, and he just couldn't stop it.
Toyota has blamed similar accidents on driver error, bad floor mats or sticking gas pedals.
In this lawsuit, Przbylowski's family blames the Corolla's electronic throttle control system.
"All of these cases that are pending, all these claims that are being made, people just aren't making it up," says attorney Martin Dolan. "There's something wrong with the system."
Last week, Toyota said it's now willing to settle hundreds of similar cases, rather than go to trial, saying:
"This process will bring greater efficiency to the resolution of pending cases and provide a clear path forward for those claims that cannot be resolved outside of trial."
The new strategy follows a $3 million verdict in Oklahoma where a jury found that Toyota acted with reckless disregard concerning complaints of sudden acceleration.
"This is knowledge on the part of somebody at Toyota that there is a problem and it was disregarded, it was ignored. And the safety of the general public is at issue, not anything else," says Dolan.
The Przbylowski case is not among the hundreds covered by the settlement talks in California, but Dolan says the his clients will now be contacting Toyota to see if settlement talks could begin soon.
The L.A. Times reports that Toyota has paid up to $2 billion in legal fees alone, fighting these lawsuits. Obviously that's one incentive for Toyota to settle these cases, rather than follow them through to trial.

Annual Report for the year 1972-3
1. Introduction
Last year's annual report commented on a developing ICL 1906A service, the institution of a regional computing service using the CDC 7600 computer at the University of London Computing Centre, and the start of the project to teach computing to undergraduates. In 1972-3 further enhancements have been made to the 1906A, both in hardware and software. Negotiations for a replacement computer have continued, and it is now expected some time in 1976.
2. 1906A Service
Hardware and software enhancements in the course of the year substantially improved the rate at which jobs could be processed by the machine.
The hardware reliability has not, however, increased to the level which was hoped for. The Computing Service has made representations about this to ICL and these have been supported by information about reliability of ICL 1906A computers elsewhere.
Following protracted negotiations with ICL arrangements were made to exchange the fixed disc store which was provided as part of the original contract for an additional drum and a four spindle exchangeable disc store. These will be delivered towards the end of 1973. This enhancement will considerably extend the flexibility with which the memory can be used and allow for the faster processing of jobs.
Software changes made locally and at other universities with similar equipment, have made considerable improvements to the service. A joint committee with ICL (U.I.J.P.C.) has been set up, with the support of the Computer Board, to co-ordinate this activity. A co-ordination team to support the committee has been set up in Oxford for a limited period.
3. Scale of activities
The demand for computing has continued to increase. Three-shift working has been introduced on a regular basis, and all shifts were being used to capacity towards the end of the year. The workload during July was about 3,200 background jobs and about 1,400 'cafeteria' jobs per week. This compares with 2,600 background and 960 'cafeteria' jobs per week in July 1972.
4. Hardware developments
During the year enhancements, funded by the Computer Board, have been made to the service facilities by the provision of a Calcomp 1136 graph plotter, extensions to the Satellite One terminal connected to the South Eastern Regional 7600, and equipment to link this with the ICL 1906A. The two last enhancements will contribute towards the convenience of running jobs using the regional service.
An application was made to the Computer Board early in 1973 for three remote card reader/line printer pairs and further peripheral equipment, including a printer working in both upper and lower case. Two sets of Data Centre equipment (card reader/line printer) were approved but the board was unable to provide the rest due to lack of funds. It is hoped that the Service may be able to provide some of this equipment from its own resources.
5. Staffing
At the end of the year the Computing Service staff totalled twenty-six senior staff and thirty-one junior staff. There were two and one vacancies respectively included in these totals. There was also a senior vacancy within the U.I.J.P.C. team.
6. Undergraduate Teaching
The Undergraduate Teaching Officer has produced courses on programming languages using television equipment and allowing for practical experience. These were run in most weeks in Full Term as well as during the number of weeks in each vacation. Many of these courses have been over-subscribed. Implementation of the original plans for this activity has been seriously hampered by the lack of posts. The Old Zoology Lecture Theatre with a CTL Satellite One computer installed and linked to the ICL 1906A, has been used for all these courses; the requests by departments for additional courses can only be met by running courses concurrently. Plans for dividing the lecture room into seminar rooms while retaining all existing facilities have been approved by the Sites and Buildings Committee.
7. Numerical Algorithms Group
This group, whose responsibility is to co-ordinate the efforts from universities in the assembly of a reliable set of mathematical library routines and to distribute the result to all universities, is, at the end of July 1973, moving to Oxford and will be associated with the Computing Service. Its activities are initially confined to routines in numerical analysis. The third Mark of the library has been produced and circulated widely; it is the standard library of subroutines in numerical analysis available to users at Oxford.
8. Future activities
Towards the end of the period under review representatives of the University held informal discussions with representatives of the Computer Board on the subject of a replacement for the ICL 1906A. As a results of these discussions work was started on the evaluation of possible equipment and the preparation of a formal application to the Computer Board. It is hoped that representatives of the board may visit Oxford later in 1973.

Ex-FBI agent details 'paranoia' in Boston office at Bulger trial
A retired FBI agent told the jury in the James "Whitey" Bugler trial that there was an "aura" of leaks in the Boston FBI office and that cases he was working on were compromised because of the disseminated information.
Matthew Cronin was the second witness called by Bulger's defense team Thursday. He worked in the Boston FBI office starting in 1979 and retired in 1999.
Prior to being assigned to Boston, Cronin said he worked in the New York City office. There, the agents cared more about their own work than that of the other agents'. That wasn't the case in Boston, he said.
"Everyone seemed to be interested in everybody else's business. You learned pretty quickly to keep your cards close to your vest," Cronin said.
Cronin said that after one investigation was compromised by a "tremendous leak," he went to one supervisor and then to the head of the organized crime strike force — prosecutor Jeremiah O'Sullivan. That meeting started with Cronin feeling pleasant, but then he left angry, he said.
"O'Sullivan ordered us out of the office," Cronin said.
Cronin wasn't the first witness to testify about the distrust and concern among agents in Boston's FBI office.
Earlier this week other agents said that there was "paranoia" in the Boston office.
Fred Davis, a supervisor, said on Wednesday that agents in his squad were nervous other agents were leaking information.
The 83-year-old Bulger was arrested in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011 after 16 years on the run. Bulger fled after corrupt FBI agent John Connolly tipped him off just before his indictment for various crimes including racketeering, extortion and 19 murders.
Also Tuesday, state police Lt. Steve Johnson testified about his interviews with fellow Winter Hill Gang members John Martorano and Stephen Flemmi. The defense team highlighted differences between Johnson's reports and the mobsters' testimony during this trial. However, during cross examination, prosecutors made that point that the differences in the statements by Martorano and Flemmi were not concerning Bulger allegedly shooting some of his victims.
The defense will continue to call witnesses Friday.

Hi Guys...
Don't buy this game... better go for EA Sports 2007 or Cricket Ashes... As this Game lacks in graphics... very boring too...
To hit a ball u need change the position, i.e., u can't control the direction by using ur arrows.. if u need to hit straight first u need to adjust the postion then press Space bar... similarly for other directions also...
very boring game by Zapak... better go for EA which is good in all aspects...
and more over the game is in 640*480 resolution, which is not good... I didn't find any option to increase the resolution...
I have 5 computers.
Each with very high graphics and processors.
But it works with only one computer.
One thing you should check before buying is if your computer has
NVIDIA or ATI processor. Or else you wasted money.
Computers with these processors are rare and expensive.
Also mainly people buy computers with the super common Intel proccessor.
OK other then that
the games a FAIL
Horrable Graphics on rare proccessors.
Guys dont go for this game...the main drawback is that the game runs at small display only and shots are easy to play at any difficulty level....if ur using small screen pc r desktop...then u have to go for magnifying glasses...no save option in the middle of d game..if u play world cup then u have to play for days
this is not a good game but its persent some new thinking that in any cricket game the names of indian player is not right,but in this game the name was right.but the screen was so so short.so do not buy this if you buy so understand you lose your mony the service of flipkart is good
The only game I love to play on my PC is Cricket, and I have almost all the EA versions, BUt this one really disappointed me as it never worked on my Desktop or Laptop, both the systems are well equiped with required specification....I am dissapointed but not with Flipkart......
A mediocre game. Just don't waste your money after it. Don't be fooled. There are other cricket games here on flipkart give them a try as they appear to be better. I don't have more words to say about this game but flipkart's review system is forcing me add 200 chars :( (View complete review)
While I have had great experiences with flipkart, this product was quite a waste of my money. Had several technical snags in installation and the product has actually stopped working now. Game wasn't too great either (View complete review)
It is just superb. Once you get the game and start playing it you just cannot do anything else but keep playing non stop cricket. The boring part comes when you have won a world cup with the indian team. There is nothing to do. But as I have this game I have set a target to myself that I will wi... (View complete review)
ACTUALLY I GOT CHEATED BY THE IMAGES PROVIDED FOR THE GAME AS THEY ARE NOT THE GAME'S IMAGE. THE GAME PLAY IS AVERAGE AND NO COMMENTARY. THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS GAME IS THE PLAYERS FACES WHICH KIND OF LOOK ALIKE. NOT A VERY GOOD GAME BY ZAPAK. CAN BUY FOR KIDS FROM THE AGE 9 TO 13. (View complete review)
Graphics really need to improve and it is just the copy of EA Sports Cricket 07. I thought this game would be a good game by Zapak so I bought it. Game not up to the mark. Better buy The Ashes or Cricket 07 rather than this. (View complete review)

Do right and wrong exist?
I'm curious about objective right and wrong. If you believe in God, this is a no-brainer. Some things are wrong, some things are right, simply because God says so and He knows. But if you don't believe in God, can you still believe in objective morality? I personally don't think you can. I mean, what do you base it off of? How do you find out what's objectively right or wrong? (By objective I mean "existing independent of thought or an observer as part of reality." from dictionary.com)
Sure, there's subjective morality. Any idea of right or wrong come up with by a human is by definition subjective. That's all well and good. Problem is that it only applies to people who believe in it and it gives them no authority to proclaim anything as "what we should be doing." Very often everybody disagrees with each other and we don't get anywhere. (Just look at Congress for an example of this.)
Maybe you disagree with me and you think there is objective morality but no God. That's fine. I would like to ask you to answer a question for me though. Let's pick an easy one. Why is rape objectively wrong? Don't misunderstand me, I can't think of a single instance where rape wouldn't be wrong. I believe very strongly that sexual abuse is one of the greatest evils in the world. Why is it evil? If you can answer me without using a God-based or subjective argument, I'll concede the point.
That point is this: Without God, there is no such thing as right and wrong, only the things we call right and wrong. And since nobody can agree on what to call what, we're all in a lot of trouble.

Mar 3 2013: Are you kidding me? If someone came over to your house and killed one of your loved ones for no reason, it would be WRONG. You would know it. You would not have to know whether or not they believed in God or not. You would not have to know if they had mental issues that may (later) mitigate the perps culpability. You would know, as anyone else would, that it was WRONG for them to kill an innocent person.
Wake up.
Mar 5 2013: Why do you agree with me? You FEEL that it is wrong to kill an innocent person, as mentally healthy people would feel that it is wrong. We could get into a long philosophical discussion about right and wrong, and about exerting control, and about human rights and all kinds of topics that would attempt to quantify what we know intrinsically. All you have to do is posit the golden rule in any questionable situation - would you like this to be done to you? Or your child? Or your parent? Or your spouse, sibling etc.? That's a good litmus test to help determine what is right or wrong to do. That's why the golden rule has stood the test of time.
Mar 5 2013: So it feels wrong because we wouldn't like it to happen to us.
It kind of comes back to instincts, empathy, and feelings then.
How we feel is how we feel and not necessary universal.
If someone else feels differently then we are at an impass, unless we have a better defined description of right and wrong.
For example someone might feel it is wrong for their womenfolk to leave the house, drive a car, show their face. And many women in that culture may feel that this is also right.
The golden rule is a good starting test, but not sufficient in my view. It also breaks down in some circumstances. I wouldn't like to go to jail for a crime, but on balance think it better that criminals do go to jail.
I would suggest something like wellbeing would provide a better foundation.

A scientifically proveable Purpose to Human Life?
I believe the primary purpose of human life is the Unconditional Love, Care, Nourishment and Education of all of Earth's children; and I believe this can be proven scientifically without any reference to any Deity. The proof lays in the scientific evidence found in the 3.8 billion year fossil record of life on Earth. It is simply that life before humans and most of all living organisms today perform no function other that survival to reproduce.
By the definition of the words function and purpose being interchangeable according the both the English dictionary and the English thesaurus, I believe it is reasonable to say (as many of scientist on earth believe) that the purpose of all other lower evolved life forms is simply to "survival to propagate the species".
As human are simply another organism like all others, which just happens to occupy the top link in the Earth's food supply chain, does not mean that the purpose of human life is any different from other life forms. It is just a bit more complicated because of intelligence; and the size of a mature human brain is much larger than the size of a a female virgina, therefore requiring some 15 or so years during which the child needs Unconditional Love, Care, Nourishment and Education in order to mature into a just, moral and productive citizen of society
I believe almost all of humanity's problems stem from the abuse heaped on children by parents who are ignorant of the fact that they are abusing their children.
I also believe the best way to solve most, if not all of humanity's problems is to teach children How to be Parents before they become parents.
My intentions and hope for posting to this forum is scientific verification or rebuttal of these and other connecting hypotheses.

While Fusion Applications' release date has been a moving target for years, company officials of late have indicated they will be generally available in 2010.
"If you're interested in Fusion Apps, this is your world," Rymer said. "[JDeveloper] is the way you will customize them."
What remains to be seen is what Oracle will do with the many middleware and hardware products it will acquire through the pending acquisition of Sun Microsystems.
Oracle spokespeople declined comment Wednesday, but in remarks at Wednesday's event, Oracle President Charles Phillips did allude to the deal and offered a vague glimpse of what is to come.
"There's a lot of things we can do as we bring in the silicon and the storage," he said. "Some things that are currently in software probably should be embedded in devices.... Some things should be on silicon itself, like encryption. Some things should be on the storage level."
Overall, Phillips' remarks reflected the general forward-looking vision Oracle has developed of late, wherein it will provide customers with a complete stack, from hardware to middleware and applications.
That theme and Wednesday's announcements sparked some trash talk from one competitor.
"For end-users who want to capitulate and give up on IT as a provider of competitive differentiation, this might seem like a way of reducing cost and complexity," said Miko Matsumura, chief strategist of SOA vendor Software AG, in a blog post. "In the short term, they will be able to reduce their costs by eliminating most of their IT departments."
"However, in the long term, being beholden to the Dark Lord Sauron ... will prove to be expensive," he added, in a reference to the supervillain from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

Simplifying Writing Workflow
Productivity Sauce
Simplifying Writing Workflow
From time immemorial, I've been using OpenOffice.org Writer and then LibreOffice Writer as my writing tool of choice. I even wrote several custom macros and the Writer's Tools extension to make my writing workflow more efficient. But all these years, I've been using only a fraction of Writer's functionality 90% of the time. So I finally decided to leave the comfort of LibreOffice Writer and simplify my writing workflow by moving to a different tool set. After trying several text editors, I settled for Sublime Text. This text editor is not free, but it offers a slew of useful features like customizable keyboard shortcuts, code highlighting schemes, snippets, the ability to manage multiple documents, and spell checker. Oddly, the editor doesn't have a native word count feature, but the WordCount plugin fills the void quite nicely. The nano text editor now serves as a writing tool when I don't feel like using the mouse or a graphical desktop environment.
In Writer, I heavily rely on the Changes feature to keep track of changes made to documents. In my new workflow, this functionality has been replaced with flashbake, a versioning solution based on Git (I wrote an in-depth article on using flashbake and Git in general for the upcoming issue of Linux Magazine).
Finally, to replace the functionality provided by the macros, I use the excellent AutoKey utility with a handful of simple scripts.
Of course, I don't plan to abandon LibreOffice just yet: it can still come in handy in many situations like when working with long documents containing complex formatting.comments powered by Disqus

Nancy Ajram has no regrets about her Arab Idol role, set to return to 'da screen next season
We all know that working with Ahlam on Arab Idol can't be easy, but sweet singer Nancy Ajram says she has no regrets about her participation on the popular talent show.
In an interview with Sayidaty.net, the starlet shared that she was skeptical at first about sitting at the judge's bench for AI's second season, but now she's very happy she took on the challenging position alongside Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama, UAE singer Ahlam and Egyptian composer Hassan Al Shafei.
The posh Atlantis Nakhla Hotel in Dubai set the location for the interview that Nancy held after a grand performance as a part of the "Arab Travel Exhibition". She went on to say that she has in fact grown close with her fellow judges but let it be known that the flirtations with Ragheb are totally innocent, so don't get the wrong idea about their relationship!
The two-year contract she signed with the makers of the show indicates that we'll get another dose of the Lebanese singer next season, a matter which should make fans happy considering they have given her lots of positive feedback about her role on the show.
Nancy may be a little exhausted from balancing all her duties on the show, on tour, and at home with the fam, but she is still set to release a new album this summer after an initial delay caused by the problems facing the region.
Are you a happy camper that Nancy joined the Arab Idol judging crew? Please share with us your thoughts!

When it comes to brands, the name is one of the most important elements of its proposition. A name is often the first act of public branding and helps establish the tone for a product, service, or company. It acts as the primary handle for a brand: It's a recall and recognition device, it communicates desired attributes or specific benefits, and, through time and consistent use, it becomes a valuable asset and intellectual property.
However, many organizations take a very haphazard approach to naming, often omitting crucial steps that end up making the naming process longer, more arduous—and more expensive.
Following, we'll explore some of the most common mistakes made when creating or choosing a name, and some tips to avoid them.
1. Treating naming as an afterthought Any serious brand manager approaches a product or company launch with a systematic and clearly defined path—from concept development through to implementation. But naming can often be an afterthought, and usually results in a mad scramble.
Naming is a far more complex process than most people imagine. Creative names are only the beginning of the journey, with many legal and linguistic hurdles that follow—hurdles that often mean the name you thought was great is not available or even that it's inappropriate.
Start the naming process early in the development phase. Outline the critical steps and build your timing around these. While legally cleared names can be used as early as a month into the trademark process, full trademarks can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months in the U.S. And that's after you've decided on a name.
However, even if after careful planning your timing is tight, call in the professionals. They will make sure you have a name you love and that you legally own.
2. Forgetting that naming is as strategic as it is creative Companies often don't spend enough time defining—and agreeing on—the strategic role of a name. But a great name is rarely that simply because it is different or creative. A great name is one that clearly communicates the positioning and personality of the brand.
In today's highly competitive environment, the strongest brands are ones that transcend the physical attributes of a product, service, or company to form emotional connections with customers. Names can help do this.
Set out clear strategic objectives, and you'll find it also gives you clear criteria by which to measure and choose a name. Take into account what the name needs to do today, as well as how it can continue to meet business objectives in the future.
Remember, naming is as much an art as it is a science. Your brand strategy will help you create a name that is relevant and that has stretch and flexibility as your business, and the market, evolves.
3. Underestimating the importance of a good creative brief Even after clear strategic criteria have been established for a name, many companies underestimate the value of a focused, detailed creative brief. For the creative team, however—whether an internal team or an external agency—it's an invaluable tool.
While a creative brief will contain much of the same information as the brand strategy, a good naming brief gets specific, highlighting what elements of the strategy (or attributes) should be communicated in the name and setting clear parameters for the approach and construct.
As you pull together a brief, you'll find that the process forces you to answer very specific questions for your audience—the creatives who'll use it. It crystallizes the white space in the competitive landscape, personality, tonality, word types, constructs, and areas to avoid.
Your brief will focus your creative, and it becomes the lens for assessing and choosing names that are on-brand and are a comfortable, natural fit for your organization.
4. Confusing the need for information with the need for differentiation When choosing a name, companies often fall back on descriptive terms, based on the belief that they are easier to sell and require less marketing investment. They might think that the more overt the name, the more likely to be understood—and so picked—by customers. Or they might choose them simply because these types of names feel safer.
But descriptive names aren't always the answer, particularly because they can be limiting as your brand promise evolves. To effectively decide, it's important to define the role the name needs to play—whether it's to describe a function, signal a departure from where you are today, or to position something new and different.
Neither approach is right or wrong. Strong brands and mindshare can be built on both. Think of names like The Container Store or Bed Bath & Beyond versus names like Target or IKEA. All successful brands, each with a different name approach.
Spend time deciding on the best approach for you, and don't always settle for safe. It's the difference between creating a name that is easy to remember versus a name that's hard to forget.
5. Overlooking complex trademark issues One of the most overlooked challenges in naming is the highly complex trademark process. But consider that there are over 2.5 million active trademarks in the U.S. alone, and over 13 million globally. And then there's over 108 million URLs registered globally.
Then consider that there are (arguably, because it's impossible to count) only some 250,000 words in the English language—and not all of them are useable as a brand name. In fact, almost every word in every major language has been trademarked. This means that someone, somewhere, owns the name you want.
Securing viable trademarks is becoming increasingly difficult—but definitely not impossible. To overcome legal challenges, weave trademark prescreening throughout the creative process. It identifies, early on in the process, names to avoid so your creative team can keep searching for the right, legally viable name.
Don't leave legal to the end, so you don't have to settle with just any name. Prescreening avoids wasting valuable time and money evaluating (and falling in love with) names that are clearly unavailable for use.
6. Ignoring global implications Every company wants to avoid linguistic disasters. We've all heard the many stories (or myths) around names that fail the transition across borders—like the Chevy Nova in Latin America or Microsoft Vista in Latvia.
Yet it's surprising how many global brands continue to launch names that are inappropriate in a culture—or even many—by ignoring the rigor of a linguistic disaster check. This happens, particularly, when a brand or product is only being considered for local launch or with limited expansion into other markets.
In today's global economy, a thorough global linguistic evaluation is a must. With greater access to information, more and more people can pick up on issues—and talk about them. And with greater influences from other cultures and the rich cultural diversity of people in most countries, even when it's local, it's global.
Check names with native, in-country linguists. Idioms, slang and cultural associations vary from country to country, even if the same language is spoken. And, this way, make sure your name says only what you intend it to say.
7. Choosing names subjectively When choosing names, the decision can be very subjective. We've all had experience naming someone, or something. We all carry with us personal associations around certain names. And we all have preferences, usually based on other successful brands in the market or brands we personally like or respect.
So it's important, when choosing a name, to choose based on clear criteria for success. We've covered many of the ways to do this early on in the process—a strong brand strategy, clearly defining the role of the name, and identifying the key attributes it should communicate.
But, once you arrive at a final shortlist of name candidates, research can be a powerful, quantifiable tool. By carefully testing names with the people who will ultimately determine the success of your brand—your target audience—you can determine appeal and weed out any unanticipated negative reactions.
Research can't tell us everything, and it should not be the only way by which to decide on a name. Nor should it limit you from taking (calculated) risks. But it does help guide your decision and build consensus among your key stakeholders.
8. Thinking everything needs a name New products, innovations, technologies, ideas, and acquisitions: As organizations expand and grow, there are more and more opportunities for the launch of new products and services—and the need to name them.
It's in these cases where it's important to ask whether a new brand or product truly needs a name. Too many names and brands in a portfolio often add to customer confusion—as opposed to signaling expansion or innovation—and can work to dilute your main brand.
This is where brand and naming architecture is vital. Create an organizing principle based on your brand strategy to guide decisions around naming so you can determine the ideal relationship between your main brand and any new sub-brands, line extensions, and flankers. Then choose naming approaches, for each, from there.
Not everything needs a name. Find the right locus for branding so your naming strategy always pushes equity to the brands that matter—and so your offerings always help your customers make the best decisions they can, quickly and easily.
9. Keeping names that are no longer relevant As it often happens, the more we use a name, the more it becomes the right name—one that we are comfortable with, one that we associate with and understand, or even one that comes with an acquired brand. But many companies mistake this for the real equity in a brand name: the ability to drive consideration and choice.
Brands, by nature, evolve based on new and updated offerings, changes in the market and in customer demand, and innovation. In some of these cases, existing names may not be able to stretch with the offering or may not have the right fit and relevance to meet longer-term business objectives.
So it's important to test names for fit and stretch. If you find the name no longer works, or it doesn't have customer permission for a new definition, avoid abrupt changes that may alienate any core audience invested in the name. And make sure that any equity that does exist transfers to your new brand name.
Plan your re-naming and migration strategy carefully to smooth the transition from old to new. And keep your brand names relevant to truly position your company well.
10. Ending the verbal identity process at a name Given all that we've covered on the importance of naming, we know that a brand is so much more than just its name. While names are vital, valuable assets, they are only one part of your brand's identity, particularly its verbal identity, or how we use the power of words and sounds in our brand expression every day.
Language is one of the most powerful tools we have to connect, not only with our customers at every touchpoint, but also very importantly with our employees and partners. And yet language—and how we empower each of our brand's authors to use it—often lacks codification and activation.
The language of your brand starts at the strategy: your brand story, brand idea, and brand personality. Carefully chosen words set the inspiration and tone for your brand and impact how and what we communicate, how we speak, how we look—and even how we behave.
Create a distinct language for your brand by focusing on voice and messaging, and make sure you train all your brand's authors to use it. It impacts advertising campaigns as much as job postings, and packaging as much as digital—and everything in between.
Paola Norambuena is Senior Director, Head of Verbal Identity for Interbrand, and leads the practice of naming and verbal identity. Paola is passionate about language and believes it is a powerful tool that can impact behavior and help brands create an emotional connection with customers, employees, and key stakeholders.

Has Pandora Media's Advertising Destroyed its User Experience?
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I've been a loyal Pandora Media (NYSE: P) listener for many years. Until now.
Despite its position as the leading Internet radio service, Pandora's history as a public company has been a turbulent ride for investors. Shares came public in June 2011 at $16 per share, before losing more than 50% of their value to $7.08 in November 2012. Concerns over the launch of iTunes Radio by Apple pushed the stock to all-time lows.
Headline risk has been the dominant theme for Pandora shareholders. The stock has ebbed and flowed like the ocean tide, depending on the latest news flow.
Fast-forward to the present, and Pandora Media reached an all-time high of $20.54 in early July. Investors are choosing to ignore the obvious issue that competitors Apple and Google are launching their own music services, giving full confidence to Pandora's monthly listener figures, which indicate a burgeoning subscriber base.
I've written negatively on Pandora time and time again, citing the company's inability to turn a profit and monetize its listening hours. Royalty costs have been rising at a faster rate than advertising revenue. New listeners will only exacerbate the problem, not resolve it.
A new concern
My current article is dedicated to a new and overlooked element: the Pandora Radio user experience. Few on Wall Street have commented on Pandora's decision to roll out numerous "software improvements" to its radio service. These updates have made little actual improvement; instead, the overall user experience has declined dramatically.
The recent actions of Pandora Media are a huge game changer for investors, and a negative one at that. Hidden within the bug fixes and performance enhancements is a dramatic increase in advertising and a decrease in listening options. The company appears to have reached an ultimatum with its free listener base, which is unwilling to pay $4 per month for a premium radio service.
Faced with rising royalty costs, Pandora made the decision to abandon its traditional model and deliver a massive advertising increase to its customers. Listeners are faced with a 15-second or 30-second radio advertisement as frequently as every 2-3 songs, compared with 5-6 songs in recent past. Free radio listeners can no longer skip through multiple songs; instead, you are required to listen to the current song or switch to a different radio channel altogether.
All in all, the originality and flexibility which attracted millions of users to Pandora Radio appear to be waning. Listeners are now faced with more advertising on Pandora's Internet radio than with a traditional radio broadcast.
Can Pandora attract quality advertisers?
A potential reason for the rapid increase in advertising volume is Pandora's inability to attract quality advertisers. There are several explanations for this, including an inadequate ROI for brand-name corporations that took a stab at Internet radio. The math is simple--if Pandora cannot attract advertisers at a respectable premium, the company is forced to balance supply with demand by lowering its advertising rates.
Listeners are now faced with advertisements to download the latest game craze for their iPhone or Android devices, instead of credible advertisers that bring legitimacy to the Pandora platform. Discount carrier Southwest Airlines, the University of Phoenix (owned by Apollo Group), and Universal Pictures (owned by Comcast) are among the few respectable advertisers in a pool of ads to download the latest smartphone game.
Retail giant Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) is the latest Pandora Media poster-child. Video advertisements for Wal-Mart began appearing with Version 4.4 of Pandora Radio, released on July 8. The 30-second advertisement shows a number of Wal-Mart employees being asked about their career paths, and reaches the conclusion that up to 75% of Wal-Mart store managers began their jobs as an entry-level associate.
I once heard a quote, "When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt." Similarly, if your business has a strong reputation, it's not necessary to spend valuable advertising dollars to maintain a positive public image.
In the case of Wal-Mart, the company is engaging Pandora listeners as part of a larger public advertising campaign. The Bentonville, AR headquartered Wal-Mart launched a national initiative in May 2013 to show "The Real Walmart" as it struggles to maintain a positive image with its American consumer base.
Wal-Mart is likely to incur a heightened level of social and legal pressures in the next five years. On July 10, lawmakers in Washington, D.C. gave final approval to require large retailers to pay their employees at least 50 percent more than the city's minimum wage. The District of Columbia mandates a $8.25 minimum wage, a dollar higher than the federal minimum wage. The July 10 ruling by lawmakers will require Wal-Mart to pay its employees at least $12.50 an hour once the bill is signed by D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray.
Following the D.C. ruling, Wal-Mart corporate announced it was abandoning plans to open three new stores in the District. Lawmakers responded by saying, "We're at a point where we don't need retailers. Retailers need us."
Wal-Mart appears expensive at the higher end of its historical valuation range. The company has also lost market share to smaller footprint dollar stores in the last three years, such as Dollar General and Dollar Tree. On a final note, Reuters is reporting that Wal-Mart is beginning to hire temporary workers rather than permanent employees at its stores. This contradicts the national advertising campaign which is currently being run by the company.
Foolish takeaway
For a company with a market capitalization of $3 billion, Pandora Media trades similarly to a penny stock, the junk food of personal finance.
Fundamentals at the company are deteriorating as management has decided to expose its listener base to a massive number of advertisements and restrict listening options. I believe this will ultimately cause customers to lose their loyalty for Pandora Radio and migrate to new offerings such as iTunes Radio from Apple.
I consider Pandora Media to be non-investable for Fool readers who seek to own companies for the long-term.
Wal-Mart could endure further market share losses to the dollar stores in coming years, and the company is likely to face increased scrutiny from local government and employees following the resounding victory by D.C. lawmakers. I recommend staying away from the stock.

7 Simple DIY's For The Dining Room
If you're considering the fact that Thanksgiving is in less than a week, unless you were planning on spending the weekend on a project, you're running out of time to make any huge changes at home. But if you're dining room is in need of a quick spruce up, we're loving these simple diy projects.
• 1. Recycled Bottle Centerpiece: this is our favorite becuase we already likely have this stuff around the house--old bottles, check. Some old paint, check. it's a wuick and easy way to create an interesting centerpiece without spending money or having to leave the house.
• 2. Branch Centerpiece: If you need another idea for a centerpiece, this only involves finding a branch and grabbing a bottle of spraypaint. It can add color to your table and a bit of the outdoors.
• 3. Customized Tablecloth: Using fabric markers you can create a custom tablecloth out of a simple sheet of piece of fabric. Or, better yet, give guests the markers and let them customize the tablecloth as a part of the meal.
• 4. The Lazy Man's Reupholstering Project: If you've been meaning to reupholster your dining chairs, now is the time. You've got a deadline, an audience and the motivation to get it done. Folllow this DIY for the most straightforward way to get the job done with minimal tools and an afternoon.
• 5. A Quick, Cheap Rug: With the weather finally getting cold in LA, a cozy rug under foot could make a huge difference in the warmth of your dinner party. We love this simple diy for its affordabliity and reliance on minimal sewing skills.
• 6. Rubber Coated Place Settings: We've had this diy ookmarked for a long time and love the idea of rubber coating some origami (or other objects) to put at each place setting as a decoration on the table and also a souvenir for guests to take home. Whatever you decide to make could double as an ornament for friends to use on their christmas trees (if they celebrate christmas).
• 7. Paint your Chairs: Admittedly this DIY could be very complicated depending on what chairs you ave and what the weather is outside. If you're lucky enough to have bertoia chairs and actually want to paint them, then it's a pretty straightforward spraypainting project that can add a lot of punch to the dining room.

Spell checks please.
You may want to proofread this. I found two pretty obvious typos in there before I decided to post this. Good tips though!
What are the blue milk-glassy jars called? Never seen any in that hue- beautiful!
When I was in first grade we made #1 -' the recycled bottle centerpiece' as gifts for our parents. Tho', IIRC we glued pictures on the inside of the jars first, then swirled the paint.
They weren't as sophisticated as the ones shown (mine was bright green with a picture of a flower from a seed catalogue), but the technique was the same.
These look so fantastic that I'm going to try it again.
love the painted branch and rubber coated place settings...very cute!
Love the brightly colored branch. Nice idea. Check out a few more on my blog...this seems to be the topic of the week!
DesignSponge just recently posted a neat DIY chandelier tutorial:
Just whipped up my own version (in gold) this afternoon. It probably won't be permanent, but definitely works as a fun (and festive) place-holder until I find something just right.
Love these tips!
Here is another easy holiday decorating tip on how to make your own feather wreath!
I playing it pretty basic. I'm getting dining room chairs for Thanksgiving. When I moved I dumped my old chairs. I didn't know it was going to be so hard to find new ones. I finally found some at an Estate Sale. I've gone so long without chairs, I don't even have to love them, I just wanted chairs!
I have tried painting the inside of glass jars with acrylic paint and it didn't work. To get no streaks you have to use a lot of paint and swirl it around and let the paint slowly coat the entire inside but I found it NEVER dried. And if you watered it down to make it easier to coat it had streaks and looked really bad.

This cannot be the way Ray Lewis wants to go out.
Sure, the iconic-but-physically broken Baltimore Ravens linebacker is 37. A torn triceps just ended his 17th NFL season. He's not the same player that he used to be.
Yet knowing Lewis, this marks a new challenge. A reason to prove something else.
Jamison Hensley, ESPN.com
With Ray Lewis out for the season with torn triceps muscle in his right arm, the biggest question now is whether this marks the end of a Hall of Fame career.
No one knows what Lewis is thinking at this point, but don't expect him to announce his retirement anytime soon. Even if Lewis was thinking of hanging it up this season, the injury shelved those plans.
Lewis, 37, is the type of leader and player who will want to leave the game on his own terms. He won't be forced out by an injury, a coach or critics. If you think this is the end of Lewis' career, you haven't been paying attention to the 17 years he's been in the league.
Judy Battista, New York Times
As all older athletes do, Ray Lewis has slowed down, limiting his ability to get to the quarterback or to make tackles in space. The weight he lost in the off-season, in an attempt to regain some speed, has meant that he is no longer a suffocating run-stuffer either.
But with his ferocious pregame speeches and his exuberant entrance dances, Lewis has remained the heartbeat of the Ravens, the controlling force of teammates, and it is nearly impossible to imagine the Ravens without him, either on the field or in the locker room.
Gregg Rosenthal, NFL.com
Ray Lewis didn't change the Baltimore Ravens franchise when he was drafted in 1996. Ray Lewis became the Baltimore Ravens franchise.

Stat Priority (5.4.8)
Stats are the core of your character and how you choose to balance those stats will greatly impact the effectiveness of your Shadow Priest. Use this guide to select the stats that are the most important for your Priest and learn how to prioritize those stats to optimize your performance.
Stat Priority
Intellect > 15% Spell Hit (Hit | Spirit) > Haste (Breakpoint) > Crit = Mastery > Haste (Past Breakpoint)
Stat Summaries
Intellect Increases damage dealt by spells and slightly increases critical strike chance.
Spell Hit (15%) Any Hit Rating, Expertise, or Spirit will increase your chance to hit with spells and at a combined total of 15% Spell Hit (5100 Rating) your spells can no longer miss on bosses. To check your hit percentage, open your character panel and then check under the Spell tab for "Hit Chance." If you are below 15%, reforge your weakest stat into Spirit or Hit until you reach the Hit cap.
Haste Decreases cast times and increases DoT ticking speeds. Assuming normal raid buffs, there are two breakpoints that you can reach. The first is at 8,085 Haste Rating and earns you +1 tick to Vampiric Touch and +2 ticks to both Shadow Word Pain and Devouring Plague. The next breakpoint is at 10,124 Haste Rating and earns 2nd extra tick on Vampiric Touch. This is the most important Haste value to reach as it has a large impact on your DPS, but Haste beyond this point continues to remain quite valuable.
Crit Increases the chance for your attacks to critically hit for additional damage.
Mastery Mastery Shadowy Recall gives your DoTs a chance to deal damage twice with each tick.
