Help us make Shahnameh the pop-up book!
We are excited to share with you our newest project. Riding on the success of our best-selling book, Shahnameh, The Epic of the Persian Kings, we have partnered with paper engineer extraordinaire, Simon Arizpe to create a magical and dynamic new pop up book, based on the art and stories of our Epic Shahnameh.
Shahnameh: The Epic of the Persian Kings
A new illustrated edition of the classic work written over one thousand years ago by Ferdowsi, one of Persia's greatest poets. This new prose translation of the national epic is illuminated with over 500 pages of illustrations and is on sale now in a regular edition and luxurious limited edition.
"Shahnameh for the digital age."
— Sheila Canby, Metropolitan Museum of Art
"An Iranian epic for the masses"
— CNN international
"A gorgeous new translation of the Persian epic."
— NPR, All Thing Considered
"A magnificent book both conceptually and technically… Extraordinary combinations of diverse styles from across the centuries."
— Charles Melville, University of Cambridge
"Shahnameh, a Persian Masterpiece, Still Relevant Today."
— The Wall Street Journal
"Epic Iranian tale gets intimate upgrade… For all of its many adaptations, [Shahnameh] has remained largely unknown in the west except in scholarly circles and among Iranians. But New York–based artist Hamid Rahmanian's recent illustrated rendition with translator Ahmad Sadri of, Shahnameh: The Epic of the Persian Kings could change that."
— The Guardian
"This edition is simply breathtaking: 500 illustrations dance across every page, each telling a story in a thousand intricate and beautiful artistic flourishes. Accompanied by a translation of the text that is charming, accessible, and rich in the nuances of the Persian language, it is a treasure that will be cherished and handed down to subsequent generations."
— Huffington Post
"This illustrated tome will bring new, vivid life to the epic tales of the ancient Persian kings."
— The Atlantic

"…An outstanding literary and artistic job that pleases the ordinary reader while remaining attractive to the experts among us."
— Dr. Mahmoud Omidsalaar, Author of "Politics of Iran's National Epic, the Shahnameh"

CINCINNATI (AP) - Economic forecasters say Ohio's rebounding economy and jobs picture mean a brighter holiday sales outlook for the state's retailers.
A University of Cincinnati Economics Center forecast projects a 4.2% increase in sales for November and December this year, over last year.
Forecasters say consumer confidence is up while consumer debt is down, and note that Ohio's unemployment rate has also fallen from double digits during the Great Recession to below 7%.
The researchers say the biggest uptick will be in the important Columbus metro market, with sales expected to rise 7.5% for the holiday period.
Sales in the Youngstown metropolitan area are expected to rake in about $583 million dollars, a three percent jump. But that is still lower than the statewide average.
They say possible drags on holiday spending could come from concerns about gas prices and the federal "fiscal cliff" looming without a deal on expiring tax cuts and automatic spending cuts.

The Department of Public Safety
The Department of Public Safety (DPS) provides uniformed security officers on campus and telecommunications staff in the office 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The department maintains regular foot and cruiser patrol of campus and responds to emergencies. The Department of Public Safety reports to the Dean of the College. Public Safety Officers do not have powers of arrest but work closely with local law enforcement agencies. Public Safety Officers have the authority to stop individuals on campus and to request identification. Public Safety also have the authority to issue parking tickets and Notice of Trespass.
The department's staff includes the Director of Public Safety, 2 Associate Directors of Public Safety (1 Full time, 1 Part time) Patrol Supervision Support and Special Projects Manger, Telecommunications Manager and Technical Support Specialist, Sergeants (2 full time), an Administrative Assistant, Patrol Officers (11 full time), Telecommunications staff (6 full time, 3 part time, 4 on call), Art Museum Monitors (4 part time, 3 spare monitors), seasonal Midd Rides drivers, and on-call Special Events Staff. Public Safety also hires students for Midd Rides.
The DPS maintains two fully equipped patrol vehicles. Through the use of these vehicles, foot patrol and seasonal bike patrol, officers patrol the College's buildings and grounds. All officers carry radios and are CPR, First Aid and Automated External Defibrillator certified. The officers attend workshops and training seminars relevant to campus security and safety. These training sessions are provided by professionals in the fields of security, law enforcement, and emergency medical response. Additionally, many of the staff at the Department of Public Safety have extensive prior experience in law enforcement, safety, security work, emergency medical and fire response.
Public Safety officers are often the first responder for assistance in reports of fire, medical emergencies and criminal activity. The Department works with the Middlebury Police, the Vermont State Police, the State's Attorney of Addison County, Addison County Sheriff's Office, the State of Vermont Department of Liquor Control, Middlebury Fire Department, Middlebury Regional Emergency Medical Services, and Porter Hospital.
Fire alarm and intrusion alarm signals are received at the telecommunications center through a computerized alarm processing system. (There are a few small residential houses with a fire alarm system that only sounds locally and does not report to DPS. Please the Fire Systems List in Annex C of this handbook.) In the event of fire, smoke or smell of gas on campus, the Department of Public Safety will notify the Middlebury Fire Department and will provide assistance with access to facilities, occupancy information and crowd control.
Middlebury College has an enhanced 911 system. This allows for emergency calls from the campus telephone system to be sent directly to the Vermont statewide 911 dispatching service. The Department of Public Safety is provided with the campus phone location but does not hear the conversation. A Public Safety officer is dispatched to the location and will receive updated information from the responding agency. In the event that a 911 call is placed from a cellular phone or from someone out of the area, the responding agency will notify DPS for assistance. Details regarding the use of the 911 system appear in the Reporting Emergencies, Crime and Suspicious Activity section of this handbook.
Routine calls to the Department of Public Safety should be made to the general business line, (802) 443-5133. This number is answered at the dispatch center and may also be reached by simply dialing the last four digits, 5133, from any campus extension. All calls with caller ID enabled will display for the telecommunication center. If the call displays an ID for a College number, the telecommunicator has access to the location of the phone.
The mission of the Department of Public Safety is to support the educational goals of the college by delivering services that enhance and protect the college community. An environment conducive to learning requires a commitment from each student, faculty member, staff member, and visitor to uphold the ideals of community living. It is the role of the members of the Department of Public Safety to ensure that those ideals are held in high regard by enforcing College policies, laws and ordinances, protecting property and persons, and offering services that contribute to an effective living and learning environment. We welcome you to contact us with any questions or concerns either by email, or telephone.
Agreement with Middlebury Police
The Middlebury Police Department has an agreement with the Department of Public Safety on patrol procedures, assistance with contacting students during investigation of a crime, warrants, parking enforcement and event security. The Public Safety officer immediately report serious crime to the Middlebury Police, and provides MPD with documentation of crimes in accordance with College policies. The Department of Public Safety informs and encourages all victims and witnesses to report criminal acts to the Middlebury Police. Investigations are managed cooperatively with the Middlebury Police. When arrests must be conducted on campus, the Public Safety Department provides full cooperation and assistance to the Middlebury Police.
The Department of Public Safety works closely with the Middlebury Police Department to uphold a community policing model of security. The Middlebury Police Department readily provides DPS with training in the areas of traffic enforcement, special equipment use, local ordinance enforcement and other areas of mutual interest or concern.

Oops, it seems Hollywood's stubborn refusal to cater to female movie-goers may be hurting the bottom line. Summer box office numbers are way down–resulting in a 20 percent decline in revenue in North America–this year, and it could be because Hollywood is still making crap targeted at the long-coveted young dude demographic when they're going to the theater less and women have become a more reliable audience.
According to data from the Motion Picture Association of America, the young male demographic that most big Hollywood movies are aimed at is making fewer trips to the theater and hurting box-office totals. Who is spending money at the movies? Women, and movies aimed at women are reaping the benefits. So, you know, any time you want to get on that Black Widow movie, Marvel…
Not only does the data show that young people in general are going to the theater less with the largest drop (17%) occurring in the sought-after 18 to 25 demographic, but it indicates that movies that skew toward a male audience are performing worse than ever. That's a big problem for Hollywood, considering that their male-oriented franchises seem to be garnering less female viewers than ever, too.
As Dan Van Winkle at The Mary Sue asks, "Could [women] be tired of seeing white dudes save the world?" I mean, I love me some Spiderman and plenty of women enjoy action/superhero films, but there's no denying it's getting old seeing tired iterations of essentially the same kind of mediocre, Bechdel test-failing flick over and over again. As the success of movies like Frozen, Maleficent, and The Fault in Our Stars shows, we're hungry for something new.
It's long past time that movie execs stop claiming their sexism is just about risk at the box office when it's clearly not–and hand over the reins to the talented female directors, writers, and actresses who aren't being fully utilized.
Maya Dusenbery is an Executive Director of Feministing.

"Mr. Strachman nodded guiltily but pointed to his walls, which are strewed with seven huge American flags, dozens of appreciative letters, and snapshots of soldiers holding up their beloved DVDs. […] 'Our downtime is spent watching movies as we clean our weapons,' one handwritten note said." - Alan Schwarz
"Don't get the wrong idea; it would be completely hypocritical of me to say that this movement is entirely bad. I love TED talks; they have the noble intention of spreading revolutionary ideas to a wide audience. I'm also a TV junkie, and I don't read as much as I should. It's the scary, negative consequences that worry me: Facebook as friendship porn, the commercialization of the music industry, and increasing use of stupid acronyms in conversation." - Richard Starr
"All the memories I had of him came flooding back with sudden clarity and it was both sad and amusing because we're 15 years apart and there simply aren't that many. One where he adopted a German shepherd from the pound and gave him to me for Christmas when I was 6. One where he took me to his favorite coffeehouse in DC, I was 15 and he made fun of my eyeliner. And one where he grinned broadly, endlessly, at his wedding as I recited a love poem and my stilettos sunk slowly into the wet grass." - Mila Jaroniec
I tried so hard to find a quotation that would neatly capture this article's essence, but I couldn't. Everyone who has a relationship with the Internet and is curious to delve into what that means exactly should read this.
"As he was dancing on the float, he noticed us and jokingly yelled, 'What are you sorry for? It's Pride!' I pointed to our signs and watched him read them. […] Then he got it.
He stopped dancing. He looked at all of us standing there. A look of utter seriousness came across his face. And as the float passed us he jumped off of it and ran towards us. In all his sweaty beautiful abs of steal, he hugged me and whispered, 'thank you.' " - Nathan Albert
"And so, if we can hang on, it will be in the twenty-fifties that the manners and meanings of the Obama era will be truly revealed: only then will we know our own essence. A small, attentive child, in a stroller on some Brooklyn playground or Minneapolis street, is already recording the stray images and sounds of this era: Michelle's upper arms, the baritone crooning sound of NPR, people sipping lattes (which a later decade will know as poison) at 10 A.M.—manners as strange and beautiful as smoking in restaurants and drinking Scotch at 3 P.M. seem to us." - Adam Gopnik
"She turned instantly wary. Any time a conversation begins to sound remotely sincere, her guard goes up. It's probably textbook for children of divorce. (What's going on? What's happening? Is my life about to change again? Aaagh!) I told her it was nothing bad, it wasn't anything that was going to change her life or her living situation again. In fact, it wasn't even about her, I explained. It was about me." - The Didactic Pirate
"I believe that there are many students whose time [at UofT] has been entirely depression-free, but I can't say that I know too many of them personally. If that's you, then I'm happy for you. But it doesn't give you the right to project your privilege onto the rest of the school, and to take people to task for failing to be as happy as you are." - Pauline Holdsworth
"I hope when Barack Obama wears Apple Bottom jeans and boots with the fur, the whole club looks at him."
" 'My cousin wears nail polish, too!' said another student. Soon many students were eager to share examples of how people pushed the limits on gender. Our school engineer, Ms. Joan, drove a motorcycle. Jeremy liked to dance. I could see the gears turning in their brains as the gender lines started to blur." - Melissa Bollow Tempel
"There was no pretense, no awkward conversation or dancing around whether or not I should be attracted to somebody. There was no wondering if someone was straight or gay; there was no sexual orientation at all. We were just there, together, as ourselves." - Conner Habib


text: May 20 safeword: ladyogrady: Dom & Sub is a body of illustrative work in digital media that attempts to humanize practitioners of BDSM and offer a representation of kinky sex that not only refutes negative stereotypes but informs the audience that sadomasochistic play is done best between happy, healthy, and consenting adults. I portrayed the couple in the work not only engaging in S&M play but also building a "scene" together and nurturing one another after the play has concluded; these are moments often left unconsidered or completely ignored in visual representations of S&M. I believe it's important to see how kinky scenes are crafted with care, commitment to safety and enthusiastic consent in order to limit those times when sadomasochistic play is used to abuse or dehumanize other human beings. It is my hope that my audience will learn from the illustrations that sadomasochistic play is not always dark or scary, and that fellow 'kinksters' can enjoy tender representations of S&M that do not ridicule or pathologize them. I've designed the work to engage sadomasochistic imagery, material and theory with an ethical conscience. I LOEV THIS SO SO SO SOSOS SO SO MUVH CH WOWO THE LIGHTING THEIR FACES (via chauvinistsushi)

Im having a child with someone im not sure im going to end up with. When i got pregnant neither of us were sure. But i WAS NOT going to have an abortion and make someone innocent pay for my mistake. becuase believe it or not, whether we are together or not, i know he i will be a great dad and i will be a great mother and we will both put the baby first. It wasnt planned, but that doesnt mean the baby should pay for it. I would not view him as a sperm donor because he will be active in that babys life and its unfair to view him as anything but the father whether we are together or not. I realllllllllyyy want us to be a family but im also realistic that sometimes things dont work out the way they should.

Yeah - never trust anything said with a big shit-eating grin on the speaker's face... But Angie you are overdoing it. Tone it down...

If I didn't think we would be together forever, I would view him as a sperm donor. No thanks. I think it's important to know that you will be a family, as opposed to just taking some guy you're either casually dating or taking a guy you know you have a bad or deadend relationship with and bringing a child into that. It's just not fair to the child. I wouldn't do it, knowingly, even though I want kids bad.

Hum well, i thought a lot about being a single mother, so take advantage of a nice but short relationship. But i guess it's not what you mean. Actually MissSushi i don't find it stupid, many women want kids more than anything - and that's maybe why so many marriages finish in divorce ?

Many will be veterans of previous tournaments held in Japan and China, some drawn back to WAGC competition after a long absence, perhaps by the chance to be part of the first WAGC held in Korea. As usual, the largest contingent will come from Europe (30 players) and the youngest from the Far East (15 players, including an 11-year-old from Indonesia). Click here for Ranka's June 24 WAGC preview.

Nauseating Profiles: "Reading the journal is part of my morning routine," writes Chris Uzal. "Most of the time it is interesting, sometimes it's not. Can't win them all, of course. One of your articles today crossed over into the nauseous zone. This morning's article about "player profiles" (2014 WAGC Player Profiles: Asia 6/24 EJ) is easily among the dumbest stories I've ever read. You want to inspire kids to play go? Articles like this is certainly not how you do it."
Sorry you didn't like the profiles; our intention is simply to introduce EJ readers to the players who will be competing at the upcoming WAGC, which we'll be covering in greater depth starting at the end of next week. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
Clarifying Calculated Mistakes: "Just a quick reply to Michael Redmond's comments on the Chess Life article!" (Michael Redmond 9P on "Calculated Errors" 6/24 EJ) writes Ed Scimia of About Chess. "I'm a lifelong chess player, and I can clarify a couple things that Michael brought up in his commentary. His concept of 'calculated mistakes' does exist in chess endgames as well: it is, of course, much easier for humans to play simplifying moves to reach an endgame situation they are certain is a win than to play the 'perfect' line according to a computer or deep human analysis (which may be much more complex and therefore tactically dangerous). In chess, nobody would consider those "sub-optimal" moves to be errors either, as long as they clearly lead to a win. In these situations, though, a player would be said to be winning by much more than a half-pawn. That advantage is enough to say that one player's position is slightly better, but not enough to be certain they can actually win with best play from both sides (remember that in chess, a draw is a common and natural outcome for many games). I hope that helps!"
"The Chess Life article (Your Move/Readers Write: 'Catching Chess Cheaters' 6/23 EJ) says that 'One interesting statistic is that players make 60 percent to 90 percent more errors when half a pawn ahead or behind compared to when the game is even,'" writes Michael Redmond 9P.
"How would you compare half a pawn in chess to a point advantage in go? I don't know how big an advantage that is for chess masters, but I think that Regan's observation that the players' assessment of a game position — and the assumed emotional value — is affecting their ability to think is also true of go players, but to a lesser extent, depending on how big a half pawn is."
"The article seems to imply that while the player at a disadvantage might have reason to play a high-risk/high-reward move, the winning player must try to play the correct move always. He uses this reasoning to conclude that the players are actually making errors. I suppose that chess, being a race to kill, does not allow for calculated mistakes, but this seems to be less true of go, and could indicate a difference in the endgame stage of the two games."
"In go, there can be calculated 'errors' by the player with an advantage. As a go game nears its end, the leading player can often calculate a win without playing the optimum moves. My opinion is that top go players will sometimes choose technically incorrect moves when 2.5 points ahead, a calculated choice to simplify the game. Such calculated 'mistakes' by the winning player are usually minor, and two to three mistakes can add up to a one point loss in actual play when compared to the correct endgame sequence. Anything more than that is probably a 'real' mistake."

Indonesia: Rafif Shidqi Fitrah 4D (right) is an 11-year-old elementary school student in Bandung. He started playing at age 7and says his favorite thing about go is "Attacking each other."

Thailand: Thanapol Tiawattananont 4D (right) is a 23-year-old student. He's been playing since the age of 10 and says that go is "an art of life and a way of life. It's a philosophy of life.

"I read about the Go Camp in Japan (Nihon Kiin Organizing Special Go Camp to Celebrate 90th Birthday 3/22 EJ) this summer," writes Bob Barber. "I will be in Japan for a wedding, so I couldn't actually join the Camp, but if I can fit it into my schedule, it would be interesting to hang on the sidelines and at least see some of my buddies whom I no longer see at Congress." Anyone planning to attend can reach Barber at email@example.com. The EJ is also interested in reports from the Camp; email email@example.com

With the start of the 35th World Amateur Go Championship now less than two weeks away, it is time to take a look at the field. Fifty-seven players from a like number of countries and territories are scheduled to make the trip to Gyeongiu, Korea to compete in the four-day, eight-round Swiss system. Many will be veterans of previous tournaments held in Japan and China, some drawn back to WAGC competition after a long absence, perhaps by the chance to be part of the first WAGC held in Korea. As usual, the largest contingent will come from Europe (30 players) and the youngest from the Far East (15 players, including an 11-year-old from Indonesia).
China, whose players have won this championship seven times so far during the current century, will be represented by Wang Ruorang, a 16-year-old from Nanjing who took third place in the Chinese Evening News Cup in January. Normally the winner of the Evening News Cup represents China at the WAGC, but the winner also has the option of turning pro any time during the ensuing year, and this year's winner, 13-year-old Yi Lingtao, took that option immediately. In the meantime, Mr Wang has been doing famously, beating a pro opponent right after the Evening News Cup, beating last year's WAGC runner-up in March, and leading an eight-man Chinese amateur team to victory over a Korean team in April. One recalls that Qiao Zhijian, the Chinese player who won the WAGC two years ago (and then turned pro) was also 16.
Korea, which has won the WAGC four times this century, will be represented by Tae-woong Wi. Mr Wi (age 20) qualified by winning the Korean amateur Guksu title last December, beating the 2010 world amateur champion in the final match. That feat, added to second-place finishes in the Lee Changho Cup and the Nosacho Cup and a 9-3 performance in National League competition, boosted him to second place in the U40 division of the Korean amateur rating system. The Wang-Wi game should be a highlight of the tournament.
Japan, which won the WAGC in 2000 and 2004, will send in Kiko Emura, who represented Japan at the WAGC and the Korea Prime Minister Cup in 2013. Last February Mr Emura also represented all human go players when he trounced Zen, Japan's and perhaps the world's strongest go-playing computer program, in consecutive games on 13 x 13 boards.
Other players to watch include Naisan Chan (Hong Kong), who took 3rd place in the 2009 WAGC; Yongfei Ge (Canada), who defeated a professional opponent at the SportAccord World Mind Games in Beijing last December; 16-year-old Yi-Tien Chan, youngest of the 22 amateur 7-dans in Chinese Taipei; Sang-Dae Hahn (Australia) and Liang Jie (USA), who also have 7-dan ranks; Czech champion Lukas Podpera; Dutch champion Merlijn Kuin; Finnish champion Juuso Nyyssönen; Hungarian champion Pál Balogh; and Serbian champion Nikola Mitic. Competition for the top ten places should be fierce.
For those who miss out, there will also be two prizes awarded for fair play and fighting spirit. And for everyone there will be a warm week of Korean hospitality. A particular attraction will be the Gyeongju Baduk Festival, July 5, 10:00-12:30 at the tournament hotel (the Hyundai Hotel), where local players will play friendship games with the contestants, Korean pros Lee Hyunwook and Bae Yunjin will play simultaneous games, and former pro world champion Cho Hunhyun will give autographs.
Starting July 5th, Ranka online together with the American Go E-Journal will provide full coverage of the championship.

"A short history of science & scientists -- GREAT!"
I also read the abridged version first; very much enjoyed it, and enjoyed the unabridged version even more. From the beginnings of the universe, to the beginning of life, Bryson has surveyed the history of discovery and the current state of affairs; advising readers of what we know, what we think we know, and what we have no idea about. As a liberal arts major who dropped out of my first (and only) college physics class over 30 years ago, I found the information fascinating and the listen very enjoyable. It is done in chatty stories about not just the science, but the scientists. Who knew, for example, that Newton was apparently mad?
And, it is not just for adults. My 13 year old son, who just started 7th grade, is also listening to the book, and he very much likes it -- my only concern is that he will know more than his teachers by the end of it; and somehow get into trouble. Oh well.
The narrator is very good. Slight British accent is perfect, as the text has a few "Bristish-isms" which makes the whole more charming. While I can't say I listened to the whole 18 hours in one sitting, I can say I did look forward to my next listen. Truly a fascinating and accessible survey of scientific history. Great read.
"interesting and intelligent"
This collection of stories was great. I really enjoyed the historical stories, as well as the more current ones. The writing was excellent; and unusually, the author was a good narrator. If you are looking for something different, try this out. The story on Geeshie Wiley was the best thing I have read all year.
"Escape book, hero gets chased"
In this book, hero wakes up in unknown place and tries to get back home. He is chased by all sorts of bad guys. Then he finds out "the truth". Just wasn't for me. I thought it might be like Shutter Island, which I enjoyed.
"ear turner!"
great story, great narration, did not want to put it down! There are two intertwining stories, nicely done; Rudnicki is wonderful as always. I have only read a few Orson Scott Card books, but will definitely look for more.
"Poor writing, terrible narration"
The writing is awful; the narration is like listening to a poor reader being forced to read aloud at school; don't bother.
"great audio book, couldn't put it down"
I very much enjoyed this book. Billy Crystal reads the book, and it is like an 8 hour performance from him. In fact, several chapters were recorded live as performances. Billy Crystal goes through his life and his loves with his unique perspective with warmth, wit and love. You'll laugh, you'll cry . . .oy vey, what else do you want?
"don't hesitate, listen"
A wonderful fairy tale, full of adventures and a drop of regret, we all have oceans within us. I won't go into the story, but Gaiman has created a world I was sorry to have to leave at the end of the book; and isn't that why we read, anyway?
"I loved this book!"
Kevin does a great job on telling some of his stories from his career. and it is really quite amazing how he has accomplished all that he has; from lip syncing to Bill Cosby to his Columbo impression, and off he goes. His stories are funny and sweet, and he only tells stories about those he really respects (mostly) and it shows. It was a wonderful book and I did not want to put it down -- and was sad to reach the end. If you enjoy celebrity name dropping books and stories about stars, you will enjoy this book.
"great story, loved the narrator"
Nice murder mystery, the end was quite satisfying. It is nice to read a book where the author actually writes an ending! Loved the narrator, did a great job (as far as I could tell) with the different Scottish accents.
"It goes on and on and on and on!"
The story was good,but come on! you hear what happens in excruciating detail, then the character tells someone what happened in almost as much detail, then guess what? it happens again. And all the gruesome details. . . . ick! I really wanted to like this book; but won't be back for any more! The narrator was good, tho.
"Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory"
First of all, the narrator sounded like he should be doing tv infomercials for reusable paper towels. Second, the story should be very interesting ( I am a history buff) but strangely it isn't. Perhaps it was the need to constantly refer to the painting at issue during (especially) the beginning of the book; the inability to see what the author was talking about. The first quarter of the book seemed to be a description of the artwork; the second quarter was a general history of the artwork up to the first world war, the third quarter was about the theft of the panels in the 30's and the last part was about its rescue from the Nazis in WWII.
Some of the symbols were discussed, but not the mystic symbolism, other than the obvious. Even the parts which could have been exciting and suspenseful were not written to keep one's interest.
I wanted to like it, and I did learn a bit but was irritated the whole time. Perhaps it was the narrator -- listen first and decide if you can listen to hours of the guy.

URL: http://www.entrepreneur.com/answer/221280To attract the attention of drivers going by at a fast clip on a busy highway, you should have very simple signage. That means boiling it down to a simple message of no more than about five words (if you have a large enough space), and a single visual. If you can make that message contain an intriguing benefit, rather than just a name, so much the better. Avoid fancy fonts or letters in all capitals. Both are very hard to read and actually slow the reader down. Not the kind of thing you want when you only have 2-3 seconds in which to grab their attention. Also, studies show that yellow lettering over a black background is the easiest for the human eye to see.

In his blessing, Bishop David Malloy called it "impressive" to see such a "sea of faces" and experience such enthusiasm, adding that "being there ... supporting each other ... is so much a part of the faith."

Haitian Fundraisers Draw Crowds in Rockford
Date: September 8, 2014
Two fundraisers held Sept. 6 in Rockford drew crowds on opposite sides of town. "A Night in the Tropics" at Giovanni's on Bell School Road featured a silent auction (pictured) to the rhythms of a steel drum. Four parishes and pastors were honored with Ambassadors for the Poor awards from Hope for Haiti after dinner. Haitian speaker Delane Baily-Herd thanked the audience for their generous donations to Haitian improvement.
At the same time, at Boylan Central Catholic High School, the Big Event also drew a generous crowd for Mass, a shared supper and presentation of the annual Louverturian Award. Louverture Cleary School in Port au Prince, Haiti, benefited from funds raised there.

SMoCA's Visions Teen Program:
This week I will have the pleasure of working with some young valley talent as part of The Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art's Visions Teen Program. Through a photography workshop exploring the use of "large" and "small" scale photography high school students will be introduced to two very different forms of image capture - "new age" microscopic photography and "old school" large format view cameras. By focusing on concepts of space and environments and their relationships with small "things" that make them up, these young talents will learn some new methods through which to produce their own work. Any chance I have to work with young talented individuals is always exciting. I enjoy sharing and hopefully inspiring these students to continue engaging in the arts and look forward to seeing the works they create.
