wikiHow to Create a Design Portfolio
A design portfolio is a collection of work samples, created for the purpose of presenting it to customers, clients, prospective employers and the like as an example of the type and quality of work they are to expect from the designer. A well-made design portfolio can mean the difference between winning or missing out on an opportunity and, therefore, it is important to put a lot of planning and careful consideration into making a portfolio. If you are an artist or designer of any type and want to know how to make a portfolio, read these directions for how to create a design portfolio.
1Decide on a format to create a portfolio in. There are 3 basic types of design portfolios:
- Print portfolio. This is a traditional portfolio, with your designs mounted on paper and bound in book form.
- Online portfolio. This type of portfolio is stored on the Internet for viewing convenience and ease of access.
- DVD portfolio. Putting your portfolio on a DVD disk makes it possible for you to send away and/or hand out your portfolio at very little cost to you. This design portfolio format is also ideal for computer animation graphics and the like.
2Choose the pieces you want to display in your portfolio.
- Be picky. They should be samples of your best work.
- Remember, quality is much better than quantity. You do not need many samples to make a portfolio that works for you, but a using a mediocre sample will only work against your intention to present yourself in the best possible light.
- 12 design samples is a good industry standard to go by. You may choose to display less if they are stellar pieces.
3Make a print portfolio.
- Choose a binder that enables you to insert and remove pages as you wish. The binder you make a portfolio with should be thick enough to allow you to turn the pages easily, and should have a neat and clean appearance on the outside.
- Mount your designs on paper. You may choose any type of paper that fits in your chosen binder. Just make sure it does not detract from the works you are trying to display.
- Put mounted designs in the binder in an order that makes sense. You want a feeling of continuity and flow as you turn the pages in your design portfolio.
4Create a portfolio online.
- Get your own website. You may opt for a free site (with banners), or to pay for hosting.
- Design your page via the website hosting user interface. Keep the design as simple as possible so that it does not detract attention from your designs.
- Use thumbnails to display your samples. This puts the viewer in charge.
5Put your portfolio on DVD.
- Use a DVD burner to copy your design portfolio website onto a DVD disk.
- Label it clearly, so as not to confuse anyone who attempts to view your portfolio.
- Make decorative disk labels and jewel case inserts for your DVD portfolio.
Community Q&A
- Tailor your print portfolio for varying circumstances by switching out the works you choose to display.
- It is advised that you have 1 of each type of design portfolio ready when presenting your work to potential associates. You never know which medium will be preferred.
- Beware of using flash for your web design. You do not want to leave out those who don't have the correct browsers installed, and you don't want your design portfolio to freeze up over slow Internet connections.

Captain Jet is from NH. SAR, do you still live in NH? If so, you guys can carpool to the games.
Captain Jet is from NH. SAR, do you still live in NH? If so, you guys can carpool to the games.
Yeah, that will be a big NO on jet man. how about the turkey guy from Thanksgiving nights game. Maybe some one can post his picture. I can't find it
Maybe we can get the Taser guy back...
The Jets should have a paid mascot, and it should be this guy....
I was there for the lawnmower halftime incident. They should have stopped right after the snoopy doghouse crashed first.
How about we replace him with an inanimate carbon rod?.
A true tragedy. Didn't it have something to do with interference of the radio signals to the planes?
Flying lawnmowers have come a long way since that terrible day.
We don't need a fan captain. Enough
the guy looks like he`s ready to keel over. You fans need some young punk with a tweeter account and apps to do the cheer. Hey, maybe just an app of some kind is all you fans need. You can just use it when you`re sitting in your EZ club or Coaches club when it`s cold out at the game, or raing.
No to Captain Jet.
When I went to the city for the '06 draft I ran into him and discussed who we should take with the 4th pick. My whole group of friends said we should take Ferguson, explaining having a franchise LT would solidify our line, etc., etc. Captain Jet went crazy saying "NO TRADE UP FOR BUSH, WE NEED REGGIE BUSH!!! TRADE WHATEVER TO GET HIM!!!!!".
We got into a heated debate and then the SNY cameras came. They pointed the camera to him and asked "Who should the Jets take?". Literally right in front of us after our heated debate he said to the camera "The Jets should take Ferguson".
Now at first we thought maybe we won the debate and he was convinced Ferguson was the pick, but not. When we asked him what the flip flop was about he said "I had to say the politically correct answer".
Say no to Captain Jet.
How about whoever decided to shoot off fireworks after the field goal closing the gap to 35-3 last Thursday. That kind of optimism in the face of adversity is infectious!

I was there for one of the flying mower halftimes, not the crash, tho, what year was that, '78?
pretty good memory it was either 78 or 79. I think someone was actually killed. Only the freakin Jets would try something like that
Maybe we can trade Jetman to Oakland for this nut

Silesia Maxi Skirt - Anthropologie.com
Daily Obsesh - ONE by Spring & Clifton Elmira Maxi Skirt
by Brooke Baker
Shopbop.com is hosting a special capsule collection called "ONE by". They've selected a handful of designers to design their perfect item, or as Shopbop describes it " A curated collection of singular pieces from established and emerging lines." Basically, it's an assortment of beautiful one-offs. And, what beautiful one-offs they are.One of the most lovely pieces is the flowing, jersey, button up maxi by Spring & Clifton, a New York-based label started by California-born Michelle Zacks. Her luscious knitwear has both the bohemian sentimentality of California with the sophistication of New York. This skirt is no exception. It's long and black for the new york set but you wouldn't look crazy wearing this to the beach or The Grove. The high slit is sexy and buttons look great on the fabric. The jersey renders this skirt casual when any other fabric could have made it goth-y and less wearable.Wear this skirt with flats or heels, with a flowy shirt or muted tank.Oh, and? It's on SALE!Where to Buy - ShopbopPrice - $98.70Who Found It - BrookeElisabeth was the first to add the ONE by Spring & Clifton Elmira Maxi Skirt to the Hive.

Crossroads Care - Charity of the year 2014
We are pleased to annouce we have teamed up with a Brentwood charity to raise funds for those who devote their lives to caring for people with special needs.
We have 'tied the knot' with the Crossroads Care, an organisation which provides vital respite breaks for people caring for relatives with debilitating conditions. Throughout 2014,we will host a series of events to raise cash for Crossroads Care Brentwood, Basildon & Districts which is based in Hutton.
In spring and autumn we will will stage a "Carer's Event" with all profits donated to Crossroads Care and in the summer, we will host an afternoon tea for children associated with the charity. Crossroads Care offers a range of support services to improve the quality of life for people around Brentwood, Basildon, Billericay and Wickford who look after a relative full time at home.
As well as supplying trained home helpers, they also run day centres in for people with dementia and early memory loss, after school clubs for children with disabilities, and social groups for young people who are forced into caring for parents and siblings at home.
We are absolutely thrilled to begin working with Crossroads Care who make a huge difference to peoples' lives. We will aim to raise a much as possible throughout the year, to support their charity and hopefully make a difference. So the charity can maintain the services that are benefitting hundreds of people across Brentwood.
Most of us juggle busy lives, but for carers who provide support for a relative, partner or friend, the pressures can be enormous. Three out of every five people will be a carer at some point in their lives.
Crossroads Care is Britain's leading provider of support for carers and the people they care for. As a charity, they care for people, not for profit. They support people who care for others at home, to help them change their own lives.
In and around Brentwood and Basildon, Crossroads has been helping carers for more than 25 years. They work with more than 150 people and their families, helping carers make a life of their own outside of caring. Their specially trained, professional, team provide flexible services to people of all ages and with a range ofdisabilities and health conditions including stroke victims, people with autism and dementia sufferers.
Their aims
The intense pressures of caring for a loved one can sometimes become unbearable. At Crossroads, our goal is to relieve that pressure not only by providing the all important short breaks, but also with practical and emotional support for anyone affected by a care need. We aim to:
- Give carers a few precious hours to be themselves
- Relieve stress in families responsible for the care of sick or disabled people
- Reduce the feeling of isolation experienced by many carers
- Avoid admission to hospital or residential care of a sick or disabled person
- Maintain the highest standards of care
Their Services
Crossroads Care's services across the Brentwood and Basildon areas currently include:
- Care support at home for adults or children with disabilities
- After School Clubs for children with a disability
- Weekly Day Care centres for people in the early stages of dementia or suffering premature memory loss.
In Brentwood and its surrounding parishes, they also offer:
- A Young Carers Club for carers aged 8-19 years
All of these services provide comfort and vital respite for people who care for another at home. It gives them a chance to breathe, to catch up with friends and to take their lives back.

Wrong cake delivered to wedding
Penalty Box
Tampa Bay Quality Pools
Failed to address Steven Glassberg's complaint that his pool was improperly paved and resurfaced. Second month in the box.
Stanek Shutters Inc.
Never responded to Thomas Smiley's request for a deposit refund for work he says they never started. First month in the box.
Let Them Eat Cake
Didn't respond to Kathy Bianco's refund request after she says they delivered the wrong cake to her daughter's wedding. First month in the box.
Not so sweet
COMPLAINT: Kathy Bianco, Palm Harbor, Fla.
"I hired Let Them Eat Cake for my daughter's wedding day. You want everything to be perfect, but the cake was a fiasco from start to finish. We [my daughter and I] went to a cake tasting and the little cakes were stale - I wasn't impressed. About a month before the wedding, my daughter brought them a picture of the cake she wanted and they stapled it to the bottom of the invoice. They told us to e-mail any changes we wanted.
"When my daughter went to pay the balance, they told her what flavor cake they made and what layers they used. She stated that wasn't correct and that she had e-mailed the changes. [Chef] Michael [Baugh] said he doesn't check e-mail. They wanted to deliver the cake at 1 p.m. and I told them I wanted it delivered at 4 p.m. as the ceremony wasn't until 6 o'clock. They said they had 15 cakes to deliver that day and they had to deliver it at 1 p.m.
"They showed up at 2:30 p.m. with it. When we cut the cake, it was the wrong one! I ordered a white cake with a chocolate layer in the middle. They gave us a cake with three yellow layers. The whole experience with this company was awful and I'd never recommend them to anyone."
DESIRED RESOLUTION: "I want a $375 refund."

Actually, you have to go back quite a ways further to get to the first page of the diary. ;) And about half way through, you'll see that whoever started the diary (can't recall her name at the moment, but it does mention it) stopped writing and someone else found the diary and has started writing in it.
And while I was thinking that the diary wasn't making sense lately, that a survivors' brother is being held in the hatch - when you said it could be Rose, suddenly the pieces fit together. If Rose had heard that a 'Henry Gale' was being held in the hatch, and suspected of being an 'Other', well, it did turn out that the real Henry Gale was not the caucasian guy they are currently holding - so it does seem possible that the wallet they found could've belonged to Rose's brother, interesting.

Four out of the 11 housemates left inside the house are in the danger zone this week. Who do you think should be eliminated? Tell us….
Looks like Bigg Boss was just way too bored of conducting nominations every week and hence decided to give that responsibility to the host of Bigg Boss 7, Salman Khan. Yes, you heard right! Salman, who entered the house to greet all the housemates on the occasion of Diwali, was asked to conduct the nominations ki prakriya on Bigg Boss 7 this week. After the process came to an end, we saw that that Sangram Singh, Ajaz Khan, Candy Brar and Sofia Hayat were in the danger zone.
After having escaped being nominated since the very beginning of the current season, Sangram was finally chosen for the first time this week. The well-muscled boyfriend of actor-model Payal Rohatgi has been accused by various housemates of playing dirty politics in the house, but claims to be clean and nice. Will he stay or should he leave?
Candy Brar (ex-flame of Kushal Tandon and wild card entrant) was brought into the house to add zing to Kushal and Gauahar Khan's love story. But unfortunately, before she entered the house, the Kushal-Andy tamashaa happened and Tandon was dismissed from the house. With that, all the plans the makers had cooked up to add spice to the show fell flat. Now Candy is neither providing any content nor adding glamour to the show. So will she continue to stay or will she be shown the exit door by the audience?
Ajaz entered the house as a wild card entry and his motive was very clear. His presence was to create fights between the housemates and we must say that he has been successful in provoking people to start sniping at each other. Also, Ajaz has already been in an ugly verbal spat with a few of the inmates of the house, thus giving the makers the content they were looking for. But will he stay on?
Sofia, who entered the house recently, came up with some controversially colourful statements before entering the glass walled ghar, which made us pretty sure that she would go a long way. But somehow she seems to be lost in the politics of the game, and so has added no extra oomph to the show. Will she remain a contestant on Bigg Boss 7?
Vote and tell us – of these four contestants, who should be eliminated from the house?

New research indicates that exposure to diesel exhaust may cause long-term damage to brain function. The study, conducted by Particle & Fibre Toxicology, tracked the effects of the nanoparticles found in diesel exhaust.
Earlier studies have demonstrated that the nanoparticles were capable of traveling to subjects' brains after being inhaled. This was the first research to analyze how these particles affected brain function.
Researchers put 10 volunteers in a room filled with a level of diesel exhaust on par with a busy city road. EEGs recorded the participants' brain wave functions, which revealed a "significant increase in MPF (median power frequency) in response to DE (dilute diesel exhaust) in the frontal cortex within 30 minutes into exposure."
Although more research is needed to pinpoint how this stress would manifest itself, or which functions of the brain could be impaired, early indications are that brain damage can be added to respiratory and cardiovascular disease on the list of automobile exhaust-caused illnesses.
"It is conceivable that the long-term effects of exposure to traffic nanoparticles may interfere with normal brain function and information processing," said lead researcher Paul Borm from Zuyd University.
While many of the automobile-related negatives – like obesity, anger, increased risk of injury or death, and expense – mostly affect car owners and drivers, exhaust pollution and the health effects and greenhouse gas crisis it contributes to is a global problem. The congestion pricing structures recently instituted in London and soon to face a vote in New York are starting to look like real boons to city-dwellers.

Chiang Mai
... partying and it was bizarre watching sober from the side of the road. We found a small empty pub close to the end of the strip where we sat with two English girls we had met in the bus, Nicky and Katie. We waited until 8am for the travel agents to open so we could drop off our rucksacks. We spent the rest of the day looking around the nearby shops and stalls, had a delicious Mediterranean feast and also treated ourselves to a manicure and pedicure. 6pm soon arrived and it was time ...
Day 36 - Jungle Trek
... steering with a bamboo stick each while Boon also steered and threw a fishing net in the river to try and catch fish for dinner. There were so many times when we were sure we were headed straight for a rock or water buffalo, but we survived. Poor Lucy was at the back and so often as we turned round corners she'd be right up against the edge of the river, having to duck out of the way of the trees' leaves. It made great entertainment for me though! ...
'I Can't Believe I Made That!'
A 'thing to do' in Chiang Mai is the widely available cooking class. Since I had been eating delicious meal after delicious meal over the past weeks I figured it would be worth it to learn how all these wonderful dishes are prepared. So I signed up. And I wasn't disapppointed! My first afternoon in Chiang Mai I joined a Chinese girl called Sisi in making a few Thai classics. We were allowed to pick our own ...
Update for the last month
... elses' unoccupied chair was a bit irritating. Another difference is that you can buy bottles of whiskey at the festival, glass bottles are not banned.
We sat on the ground to have our food and beers. Thais seem to be quite reserved in public so it was easy to spot the foreigners (few as there were) at the festival, they were the ones climbing up onto the stage and being obviously drunk or being off their heads on something else. We left when the stages closed ...
Thailand - Chiang Mai Trecking
... d have definitely been asleep. Anyway we arrived in the middle of nowhere on a hill beside a windy road and we got passed sombreros (pretty random) and then walked down the side of a gauge / hill to get to the river. As we were walking down it became clear that this Chinese family were off their rockers. The father or elder person picked up a huge stick and just kept wacking the ground - not that strange no but I suppose you had to be there. After about 20 minutes ...

Haha no ribs for you! Get in that shop!

This is such wonderful news. It's tragic that after the Korean War, we have so many people still unaccounted for in North Korea.
My grandfather is also from North Korea. He was separated from his oldest son, my uncle, during an American air raid in Korea. He died 3 years ago without ever knowing if his son survived the war.
There are tens of thousands of Korean Americans who still have family in North Korea. Unlike my grandfather, some of them still have time. Thank you Congresswoman Eshoo!
I'm also glad the Korean community is starting to talk about refugee issues from American wars. This is a constituency we need desperately right now; I can only imagine the magnitude of the refugee crisis in Iraq and I hope the Korean community will raise the tough questions about America's responsibility for refugees created by American wars.

Refugee issues from AMERICAN wars? If the Korean war was an American war then I sure wasted 1950-51 under the impression we were assisting Korea against an invasion. My division, the Second Infantry, is still there, but after reading such ingratitude from this generation of Koeans I would have them out by Friday.

Amen, Walter. I am fed up with the brainwashed who blame America for defending them from conquest. W/O America, ALL of Korea would look like North Korea.
I read of Germans spitting on our soldiers in Germany. The *(& with them. Have fun without us. Without America, they would have all lived like East Germans for the 50 years after WW2.
I will vote for anyone who says we will leave South Korea and most of "old Europe" on their own. No more people/money for ungrateful countries who think we are "occupying", or that we're there under "American" wars, or for anything other than in the interest of defending against horrors.
I am done. Let them pay for their own defense and fight their own wars. I am tired. The next generations need to learn their own lessons, sadly.

A new platform to start changing the world
Forget Facebook, MySpace or You Tube: here comes connect2earth, a new online community where young people can upload videos, pictures and comments about the environment.
On www.connect2earth.org, users and visitors will be able to write, speak, illustrate and video present their concerns on subjects important to them, and share environmental ideas and solutions.
Each month, users will vote for a winner who will receive a Nokia mobile phone.
"Connect2earth is a truly global space for young people to connect, share, express their concerns and hopes about the environment online — and win some prizes in the process"ť, said James Leape, Director General of WWF International.
"This new community allows them to tell the world why they care about the environment and why it should be protected."ť
Julia Marton-Lefèvre, Director General of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) said: "We live on an amazing planet — we need to protect it. We want to encourage young people to be involved in environmental issues and take action."ť
A panel of prominent conservationists will elect an overall winner who will get the chance to participate in the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona next October.
She or he will have the opportunity to present some ideas directly to leaders from around the world.
"Young people feel increasingly strongly about protecting the environment because, for them, it represents their future"ť, said Kirsi Sormunen, Vice President of Environmental Affairs at Nokia.
And how do you connect to earth through connect2earth? The site, not surprisingly, is particularly suited to uploading short films, photos and comments from mobile phones.

Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories | ||
Enemy of the Daleks | The Company of Friends |
The Angel of Scutari was the one hundred and twenty-second monthly Doctor Who audio story produced by Big Finish Productions.
Publisher's summary Edit
October 1854: As the British Army charges into catastrophe in the Crimea, the Minister for War sends Miss Florence Nightingale to take charge of the field hospital at Scutari.
But there's already an angel of mercy working with the wounded at Scutari. A first-rate fellow who's turned up out of the blue. Goes by the name of Schofield; Thomas Hector Schofield...
With the Seventh Doctor and Ace lost in the siege of Sevastopol, Hex has rediscovered his calling. But there's cannon to the left of him, cannon to the right of him — and a deranged spycatcher-in-chief on his case.
Plot Edit
to be added
Cast Edit
- The Doctor - Sylvester McCoy
- Ace - Sophie Aldred
- Hex - Philip Olivier
- Sir Sidney Herbert / Tsar Nicholas I - Hugh Bonneville
- Florence Nightingale - Jeany Spark
- William Russell / Russian dungeon guard - John Paul Connolly
- Brigadier-General Bartholomew 'Barly' Kitchen - Alex Lowe
- Lev Tolstoy / Preston - John Albasiny
- Sir Hamilton Seymour -Sean Brosnan
References Edit
Individuals Edit
- Hex is still reeling from the events that he witnessed on Bliss with the Daleks.
- Hex is shot with a musket.
- Ace and Lev ride horses when Ace escapes en route to prison.
- Ace has never read any of Tolstoy's work.
Locations Edit
- After Hex is shot, the Doctor sets the TARDIS for St Gart's Brookside Hospital.
Species Edit
- Ace has previously encountered the Killorans.
TARDIS Edit
- Cannon fire activates the TARDIS' Hostile Action Displacement System.
- After being shot, the exterior of the TARDIS is separated from its interior. The blue police box shell washes up at Scutari and is used for firewood.
- The Doctor uses his TARDIS key and some of Ace's blood to build a device to home in on her.
Technology Edit
- The Doctor has a portable nuclear generator in the TARDIS, which is extremely difficult for one person to move.
Notes Edit
- This audio release also included the third episode of The Three Companions "The Gathernaut".
- This would be the last time that the TARDIS was its traditional blue colour in a Seventh Doctor audio drama released in the main range until the final scene of AUDIO: Black and White in August 2012.
- This audio drama was recorded on 16 and 17 January 2009 at The Moat Studios.
Continuity Edit
- The cubby hole above the "P" where the spare key to the TARDIS is located was first shown to exist in TV: Doctor Who.
- The Doctor mentions that he witnessed the Charge of the Light Brigade in October 1854. (TV: The Evil of the Daleks; PROSE: The King of Terror)
- Ace previously rode a horse on Cheetah World. (TV: Survival)
- At a later point during his seventh incarnation, the Doctor returned to 1854 when he travelled to the home of Professor Michael Faraday in London in order to seal one end of an unstable time space corridor which had been accidentally created by his fifth incarnation on the Vault of Stellar Curios centuries in the future. (AUDIO: The Four Doctors)

I am very interested due to the pricing and judging from the pics, the finished products look pretty decent. However, I am not too sure about the fabrics used. I thought it was just for the cheaper shirts but even the $600 one is unclear. Others may call me a sucker for labels but it gives me some assurance to know which brand's mill the fabric is from and if possible the series too. I think most people would appreciate some transparency.
Nevertheless, I might go ahead with a cheaper test shirt soon.
You are a sucker for labels.
The quality of Luxire's fabric is quite high. Those labels have huge markups.
Additionaly, I believe they have said they are able to make shirts from many of the major mills if you specify fabric.

Jenkins Reaction to President Obama's Address to Congress
After President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress on Tuesday, February 24, 2009, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins made the following statement.
"I agree with President Obama that we must address the fiscal and economic challenges facing the nation today in order to create sustained economic growth and prosperity. The American people continue to struggle to find jobs and to make ends meet. But I am optimistic we can overcome these challenges and I look forward to working with President Obama and his Administration to find solutions to jump-start the economy.
"Tonight, President Obama discussed lofty goals for several domestic programs, and even though we may not agree on every initiative, we can hopefully agree fiscal responsibility in Washington is absolutely necessary in order to grow the economy. The federal government has developed a bad habit of spending like there's no tomorrow, and this bad habit cannot continue. I am certain none of President Obama's plans to turn around the economy will prove effective unless the out-of-control spending habits in Washington change.
"The President also talked about his budget that will be released later this week. He promised to cut the $1.3 trillion federal deficit in half by the end of his term. I am pleased he recognizes reducing the deficit is critical to growing our economy, but the worst thing that he could do right now is raise taxes on the American people and small businesses. Additionally, there are places in the budget that need to be cut, but funding for our servicemen and women in Iraq and Afghanistan is vital in order to keep our country safe. I look forward to seeing the details of the President's budget plan and hope he stays true to his word to change the way Washington does business.

Movie Review: The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Well, the latest installment of the Twilight series is breaking box office records all over the place. I contributed to that as I saw it with a packed house on Saturday afternoon. How could I resist, after having so much fun at the first one last year? It was an interesting experience, as my audience had a maniacal cackler who almost provided more entertainment than the movie itself.
Before I get to my detailed review (I am educated in film so expect serious criticism), I want to mention the movie's soundtrack. I think a lot of indie rock fans were up in arms over some of the bands on there. I don't know, I don't put much stock in the whole "selling out" concept, and I've been listening to it and there really are a lot of great tracks. Thom Yorke, BRMC, Grizzly Bear, Editors.... um, uh... oh geez.
Keyboard Cat? Waitaminute... my review has been hi-jacked! I guess we're doing this again...
New Moon!

Eh, it was ok. I really do HATE Bella though. What a terrible "heroine" if that's what you want to even call her. She whines constantly and is so dependent on Edward. *Sigh...*

I don't think that was the right photo choice for Bella. The cat needed to have its mouth hanging open *the entire time*. Bella is a mouthbreather.
Otherwise, brilliant. Loved the books. First movie was okay--decreepification of the prom plotline made up for the lolarious scenes of staring at each other in the grass. Hated the second movie.
This was way better than the second movie. (This is actually good. As opposed to the second movie, which, if I had not been with my best friend, might have been slightly more fun than a root canal largely because of the lolarious dialogue.)- AnonymousDecember 8, 2009 at 3:22 PM
I saw the first one too and thought it was much better than this one. Only interesting thing in the whole movies was the wolves. Bella needs to grow a pair and stop letting a guy run all over her and then leading another on. She has no regard for her family. Just the person I want to be.

The feline leading lady perfectly captured the entire range of Bella's subtle and nuanced facial expressions.
Wolf t-shirt = inspired genius.

When [Aslan] said, "We have a long journey to go. You must ride on me." And he crouched down and the children climbed onto his warm, golden back, and Susan sat first, holding on tightly to his mane and Lucy sat behind holding on tightly to Susan. And with a great heave he rose underneath them and then shot off, faster than any horse could go, down hill and into the thick of the forest.
That ride was perhaps the most wonderful thing that happened to them in Narnia. Have you ever had a gallop on a horse? Think of that; and then take away the heavy noise of the hoofs and the jingle of the bits and imagine instead the almost noiseless padding of the great paws. Then imagine instead of the black or grey or chestnut back of the horse the soft roughness of golden fur, and the mane flying back in the wind. And then imagine you are going about twice as fast as the fastest racehorse. But this is a mount that doesn't need to be guided and never grows tired. He rushes on and on, never missing his footing, never hesitating, threading his way with perfect skill between tree trunks, jumping over bush and briar and the smaller streams, wading the larger, swimming the largest of all. And you are riding not on a road nor in a park nor even on the downs, but right across Narnia, in spring, down solemn avenues of beech and across sunny glades of oak, through wild orchards of snow-white cherry trees, past roaring waterfalls and mossy rocks and echoing caverns, up windy slopes alight with gorse bushes, and across the shoulders of heathery mountains and along giddy ridges and down, down, down again into wild valleys and out into acres of blue flowers.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
A frequent conversation topic among friends back in the '90s centered on the cities in which it would be most fun to be a professional athlete. New York predictably came up a lot, so did Dallas on occasion, Los Angeles of course, but I would always put Chicago at the top of my list. There was a reason for this.
From 1993-95 I lived and worked in Chicago, and witnessed up close the city's worship of the 1985 Chicago Bears football team that won Super Bowl XX in blowout fashion. The players from that team were seemingly everywhere: on TV and radio, owners of businesses, pitchmen for local and national products, you name it. Chicago was my choice because I saw how this city embraced its athletes long after most had retired.
That's why Rich Cohen's book (Monsters: The 1985 Chicago Bears and the Wild Heart of Football) about the '85 team interested me so much when it was released last year. Though not a Bears fan in particular, and having left Chicago long ago, a book about a team still venerated by the citizens of one of the world's great cities was one I would have to read.
About Monsters, whether you're a Bears fan or not, it will entertain you a great deal. Cohen is an interesting writer, and the '85 Bears were a very interesting team. Sports fans will really enjoy it, but even those who don't much care about the NFL will similarly find it unputdownable. In my case I read it as a sports fan, as someone who once again witnessed how much the '85 team meant to Chicagoans, but as is the case with all books I write about, my reviews approach what's within from an economic angle. Monsters surely offers economic lessons, and this is true even if the latter wasn't Cohen's intent. It almost certainly was not.
To begin, politicians, regulators and most economists inhabit an unreal world in which the present accurately predicts the future. Cohen's story of the '85 Bears is a monument to how very dynamic the world we live in is, and as such, it mocks the underlying hubris that informs so much harmful political activity.
Politicians seek to "spread the wealth around" given their desire to achieve the false God that is fairness. Politicians see achievement, and rather than respect it, they seek to use the force of government to legislate outcomes meant to equalize that which isn't. Cohen perhaps unwittingly shows why this is all so foolish.
Indeed, more than anything the '85 Bears were known for their '46' defense that crushed opposing offenses on a weekly basis. Notable about an intimidating defense devised by Buddy Ryan (more on him in a bit) is that it was named after a player (Doug Plank, #46) who retired from the Bears in 1982, but whose violent hitting style defined a defense that is generally seen as the NFL's best ever.
Plank's hard hitting ways rendered him too infirm (by NFL standards) to continue playing through the championship season, but what's interesting about him is that even during his college recruitment process Joe Paterno viewed him as unworthy of not just Penn State, but of Division 1 football overall. Plank was ultimately signed by Ohio State and Woody Hayes, but as Cohen reports, Hayes only offered Plank a scholarship because he'd heard Paterno had visited him.
After college Plank wasn't picked by the Bears until the 12th round of the NFL draft (as Cohen put it, it's "like not being drafted."), but after a rookie season "in which he led the Bears in tackles, Paterno began invoking the [Plank's] story as a cautionary tale. 'Keep an open mind,' he'd tell his scouts, 'One of the little guys might be another Doug Plank.'" Politicians see success, and assume it's not just always been that way, but that it will also always be that way. The result is that politicians aggressively tax the achievers to support those not presently at the top. Cohen's story shows the folly of such naiveté. Today's star is not necessarily tomorrow's, and vice versa. The same is true in business.
Though it cost George Halas $100 to buy the NFL franchise that became the Chicago Bears in the early 1920s (back then it similarly cost $100 to enter the ownership 'club' of what became the NFL), as of 2012 the Chicago Tribune, according to Cohen, "estimated the team's worth at $1.19 billion." Politicians grandstand about taking on and taxing the rich and powerful, but as our endlessly long tax code reveals in living color, politicians are expert at raising taxes so that they can give out lots of breaks to reduce the economy-sapping burden they've imposed.
Why they would want to attack the successful in the first place is another puzzling matter that won't be discussed here, but for the purposes of this piece, the rise in the value of the Bears over the last century is a reminder that high taxes on corporations and individuals are most tragic for signaling to the companies and individuals not yet successful that if they achieve, their penalty for doing that which is difficult, and that employs many, will be a much higher tax bill. While once irrelevant in a commercial sense, the NFL is presently a global behemoth. Why do politicians look askance at that which thrives? Would they prefer more Chryslers and Citigroups to the NFL, Apple and ExxonMobil; both of the former having been bailed out multiple times by taxpayers?
Moving to the individuals who comprise what we call the economy, the Bears drafted Sid Luckman out of Columbia University in the late 1930s, but "No matter how hard Luckman tried, there was always something he missed." This is important when we think about the starting pay for any job, particularly jobs that would or should pay less than blindly mandated federal, state and city minimums.
At first it's often the case that workers aren't worth very much, and their pay should reflect that truth, including some jobs paying nothing. If not, as in if politicians (or for that matter the NFLPA) mandate a floor for pay, they potentially price those who could eventually adapt, out of quality employment altogether. Importantly, Luckman ultimately figured out the NFL, and won many championships for the Bears at the quarterback position. As Cohen wrote, "Sid Luckman failed before he succeeded, proving what I always tell my piano-lesson-avoiding son: You've got to be bad before you can be good at anything." Wage floors to root out "exploitation" sometimes disallow workers from being bad such that some will never get the chance to be good.
Considering the established, more highly paid players, Cohen wrote about the quarterback position that the "quarterback is man in pain." Jim McMahon, qb of the '85 team, said this about his NFL injuries to Cohen:
"Well, I destroyed my shoulder."…."I wrecked my hands and knees, my head, lots of dings and concussions, go into a room now, can't remember why I'm there, like, Who are you and why are we talking?"
In 1984, against the then Los Angeles Raiders, McMahon recalled to Cohen that:
"As I was running, I got jerked from behind, and when I got jerked, my kidney was exposed and that's when the guy hit me. And his helmet, it just sliced it [his kidney] in half."
It was said about McMahon that he couldn't throw a spiral, but less well known is that at least one factor in wobbly passes was a broken throwing hand. McMahon explained to Cohen:
"You know why? 'Cause I was being shot up. When you can't feel the ball, you have no idea where it's going. It wasn't my fault. It was Novocaine or Xylocaine…one of the 'caine brothers."
All this is worth bringing up in consideration of how the much demonized "1 percenters" are compensated in the NFL and beyond. While the members of the 1 percent club change all the time (figure 15 years ago Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg was in high school, while the late Ken Lay was running Enron to glowing, and wealth-enhancing acclaim), they're paid the most precisely because they're viewed as singularly important to the success of the team or business in question. This doesn't mean those who design pay packages always get it right (Ryan Leaf was once seen by many as Peyton Manning's superior at qb), but it does mean that the "vital few," and often one, can change the course of a team or business in a major way. This truism is reflected in pay across all business sectors.
To state the obvious, quarterbacks are the 1 percenters of the NFL. No doubt they get paid the most, but they do because they're playing the most difficult position that is also easily the most important one to the team's success. They are the team's CEO, and while NFL rules are increasingly being written to protect the health of the quarterback, the simple truth is that left tackles are still paid the most after the qb precisely because the quarterback is putting his body at massive risk with every play. Too often politicians bemoan the pay of the 1 percent to the applause of certain envious voters, but it's fair to say most who do so were never quarterback or CEO.
McMahon wears the scars of his great work to this day, and as Cohen reports, he's worth roughly $15 million for playing a game that he loved. Yes he is, but the sacrifices were immense, and well beyond what most would be willing to accept. Furthermore, most highly paid individuals are doing what they love, all the while working enormous hours to perfect their craft. Societal demonization of high incomes is an embarrassment, and if this is doubted, readers would do well to pick up Cohen's book to understand what the '85 Bears went through to earn annual salaries that, precisely because the NFL wasn't as prosperous nearly 30 years ago, were in some instances not very high.

Starbucks Listens to Customer Request for More Sizes
Customers to order the Plenta™ and Micra™ in stores in the U.S. and Canada this Fall
SEATTLE, April 1, 2010 –Starbucks announced today the introduction of two new beverage sizes in stores in the U. S. and Canada this Fall. The announcement follows a year of research and direct customer feedback through MyStarbucksIdea.com requesting even more choice in beverage size.
"Whether customers are looking for a large or small size, the Plenta and the Micra satisfy all U.S. and Canada customers' needs for more and less coffee," said Hugh Mungis, Starbucks VP of Volume. "Our size selection is now plentiful."
Plenta™ (128 fl oz) and Micra™ (2 fl oz) cups arrive in Starbucks stores this Fall. Derived from Italian word for plentiful or small, the Plenta™ delivers coffee lovers record amounts of the world's finest coffee beverages while the Micra™ delivers a quick and satisfying morsel of goodness.
Recognizing the potential impact the Plenta™ presents for municipal waste collection, Starbucks is also suggesting several subsequent uses for the Plenta™ cup post coffee enjoyment. Suggested usage options include popcorn receptacle, rain hat, perennial planter, lampshade or yoga block. The Micra also serves as a convenient milk dish for kittens, soft boiled egg cup or paper clip holder.

Walking across the hotel lobby, New York Mets manager Terry Collins smiled.
"We rebuilt our bullpen in one day," he said.
In a rapid-fire series of moves at the winter meetings that took 1½ days to put together and 1½ hours to finalize, the Mets agreed to trade center fielder Angel Pagan to San Francisco for outfielder Andres Torres and pitcher Ramon Ramirez, and reached agreements with free-agent relievers Frank Francisco and Jon Rauch.
Francisco gets a $12 million, two-year contract while Rauch receives a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. He can earn an additional $500,000 in performance bonuses.
"Good, solid arms," Collins said. "We've got some depth now."
Collins was beaming as he headed upstairs to congratulate general manager Sandy Alderson.
"No disrespect to our guys," Collins said, "but we couldn't stop some teams. I think we can now."
Francisco, the likely closer, spent six seasons with the Texas Rangers before he was traded to Toronto last winter for catcher Mike Napoli. The 32-year-old right-hander had 17 saves in 21 chances for the Blue Jays, going 1-4 with a 3.55 ERA.
Rauch also was with the Blue Jays, and the 33-year-old right-hander was 5-4 with 11 saves in 16 chances and a 4.85 ERA. He has 85 big league saves in a career that includes time with the Chicago White Sox, Montreal-Washington, Arizona and Minnesota, including a career-high 21 for the Twins in 2010.
Ramirez, a 30-year-old right-hander, was 3-3 with a 2.62 ERA this year, holding right-handed hitters to a .203 average and lefties to a .240 mark. He came to the Giants at the trade deadline in 2010 — when general manager Brian Sabean added a band of "castoffs and misfits" as they became known to help the franchise to its first World Series title since moving West in 1958.
"I know one thing: He gets lefties out. He's got the good sinker," Collins said. "We're going to be able to spread out all the workload."
New York's bullpen had a 4.33 ERA last season, 28th among the 30 major league teams, ahead of only Minnesota (4.47) and Houston (4.49). Following the trade of Francisco Rodriguez to Milwaukee at the All-Star break, Jason Isringhausen closed until he got his 300th save, then Bobby Parnell took over and faltered. Manny Acosta also got some chances.
"We knew we had to get some bullpen help here," Collins said. "I was all onboard the way Sandy's approach was, hey, look, let's not go spend it all on one guy. Let's spread it out and get some depth. I'm shocked how he made it all fit."
The moves were the first for the Mets since All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes agreed Sunday to a $106 million, six-year contract with the Miami Marlins, a deal that could be finalized Wednesday.
It was unclear entering the offseason whether the Mets would offer a 2012 contract to Pagan, who made $3.5 million this year and is eligible for salary arbitration in his final season before free agency.
"We're going to miss Angel. Played great here," Collins said. "But again, our target was to rebuild the bullpen and he was a piece that they wanted badly."
Pagan was a frequent fill-in for mentor Carlos Beltran in recent seasons until taking over the everyday job in center this year. Beltran shifted to right in spring training before he was traded to the Giants in late July.
A switch-hitter with speed, Pagan hit .262 with seven homers and 56 RBIs this year, down from .290 with 11 homers and 69 RBIs in 2010. It's unclear whether Sabean will continue to pursue bringing back Beltran. The GM called it a "fluid" situation last week.
Torres, who turns 34 next month, batted .221 with four homers and 19 RBIs this year after straining his left Achilles tendon, his production down considerably from the Giants' World Series championship year of 2010, when he came back quickly from an emergency appendectomy in September to finish at .268 with 16 homers and 63 RBIs. He is not eligible for free agency until after the 2013 season.
"Speed guy, can give us the leadoff spot and a quality defender," Collins said.

Frances Williams Preston Lab
The T.J. Martell Foundation became an important partner with the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in 1993, when the Martell Foundation established the Frances Williams Preston Laboratories. These "laboratories without walls" were created in honor of Frances Preston,the late music industry icon and former presidentof the Martell Foundation's board and served as an important cornerstone in the creation of the then-new Vanderbilt Cancer Center. Since that time, this marriage of music and medicine has led to important discoveries in the fight against cancer and built an important foundation for even greater advances in the years ahead. We have remained true to our commitment to deploy the resources provided by the Martell Foundation in ways that will have the greatest impact, to explore the most innovative frontiers of cancer research, from nascent research in genetic approaches in the labs' early days to our current focus on proteomics and early detection and prevention.
Directed by Dr. Harold L. Moses, the founding director of our cancer center, the Preston Laboratories include the work of 20 senior scientists withactive funding from the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Defense and the pharmaceutical industry.
The impact of T.J. Martell Foundation is not only felt throughout our cancer center but also across the country and around the world through MyCancerGenome. We look forward to future discoveries to allow better treatments, detect cancers earlier and prevent them altogether.
"We have been partners with the Martell Foundation in the fight against cancer for the past 20 years, and the foundation's support has been critical to our success. This funding has been instrumental in jumpstarting the truly groundbreaking research that is often difficult to fund through more traditional sources. The work that the Martell Foundation has made possible has led to findings that we've then leveraged into larger grants from the NCI and other sources; in fact, the approximately $20 million that we've received from the Martell Foundation has directly led to hundreds of millions of dollars in grants from the NCI and elsewhere."
