Clinton scores Gaza cease fire success
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got a Gaza cease-fire right at the moment hope seemed dead for a rapid end to the violence — and next time, President Barack Obama will probably have to do it without her.
But Clinton won't be around much longer to build on that progress. She's made clear her intention to leave the State Department soon — and while that won't leave Obama and his administration starting from scratch, it will mean they'll have to continue without a woman who has built strong working relationships with many of the key players over years. And coming off of a salvaged truce at a critical moment, the impact of that looms large over the White House's next four years of dealings with the Middle East.
Story Continued Below
That's not just about the continuing reverberations from the Arab Spring and violence in Syria, Libya and beyond. The administration has also struggled in its relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, tangling over both the peace process and how to end Tehran's nuclear program.
The first bus bombing in years struck Tel Aviv just as she arrived for a round of shuttle negotiations that helped produce the deal Wednesday. Clinton, along with White House press secretary Jay Carney, condemned the attack — withering the optimism for stopping the Hamas rocket attacks and the threat of an Israeli ground operation.
Her trip came after days of Obama's calls with Netanyahu and the Egyptian government — which was negotiating on behalf of Hamas — that had not produced a speedy result. There's still a long distance between the cease-fire and any kind of lasting peace, but Clinton scored a major victory in a difficult region — one where, despite the list of local Obama priorities, the administration hasn't seen much progress.
It was a rare bright spot for the Obama administration in a region that is in the midst of a profound transformation from authoritarian rule to popular democracy — and where the United States is seen in a mostly unfavorable light. And it was done by finding the kind of workable ground with the Egyptian government that's proven difficult for the administration since Hosni Mubarak was toppled and Mohamed Morsi, an Islamist, was elected the new president.
Clinton even announced the agreement standing next to Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr. She hailed the agreement as an important step to bringing stability and peace to a region that has seen major upheaval and transformation in the past two years.
"The people of this region deserve the chance to be free of fear and violence and today's agreement is a step in the right direction that we should build on," Clinton said.
The agreement, brokered by Clinton and top Egyptian officials, called for an end to the Hamas rocket attacks and expressed hope for a "broader calm."
"Every step must move us toward a comprehensive peace for all the people of the region," she said, calling on Arab and Israeli leaders to concentrate on the broader goal of lasting, permanent peace throughout the region. "There is no substitute for a just and lasting peace."

Federal Reserve Board Chairwoman Janet Yellen told House lawmakers Tuesday in her prepared remarks that she expects "a great deal of continuity" in the Federal Open Market Committee's approach to monetary policy.
However, Yellen conceded during the question and answer session with lawmakers that the Fed would pause its tapering of asset purchases if there was a "notable change" in the economic outlook, and increase asset purchases again if there were "a significant deterioration in the outlook — either for the job market or if inflation would not be moving back up over time."
While receiving mostly congratulations from the lawmakers in taking her new post, Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, chairman of the committee, reminded Yellen of his committee's yearlong examination of the Fed via its Federal Reserve Centennial Oversight Project. "Any agency or bureau of government that is 100 years old probably needs a good check-up, especially one as powerful as yours," Hensarling said. "And I remind all, independence and accountability are not mutually exclusive concepts."
In her first report on monetary policy, Yellen told members of the House Financial Services Committee Tuesday that "If incoming information broadly supports the committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its longer-run objective, the committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings."
She then took a line from her predecessor, Ben Bernanke, in his last speech by stating that "purchases are not on a preset course" and that "the committee's decisions about their pace will remain contingent on its outlook for the labor market and inflation as well as its assessment of the likely efficacy and costs of such purchases."
At his last press conference in early January, Bernanke said after the December FOMC meeting that further tapering will "be data dependent." However, he said he anticipated that the Fed would "probably do a measured reduction" at each meeting in 2014.
Jim O'Sullivan, Chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, said that Yellen "expressed cautious optimism about growth, with no sign of concern about some of the weaker data recently while downplaying the volatility in markets."
Indeed, Axel Merk, president and CIO of Merk Investments LLC, noted in his Tuesday commentary that on Yellen's first day on the job, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 326 points; 10-year Treasury yields fell to 2.58%.
"While a day does not set a trend, let alone create a legacy, there is no honeymoon for Janet Yellen," Merk said. "Volatility, seemingly absent in 2013, is back, with major implications for investors' portfolios."
While Yellen expressed disappointment with the past two jobs reports, she said that "we can't jump to conclusions" about what those reports mean — noting that cold winter weather was likely a contributing factor. She added that the FOMC would look at a "broad range of data" at its March meeting to assess the significance of the jobs reports. "We're not back to maximum employment," Yellen said. "However, there has been substantial job creation. But we have further to go."
The unemployment rate has fallen "nearly a percentage point since the middle of last year and 1-1/2 percentage points since the beginning of the current asset purchase program," she said. It was 6.6% in January.
"Nevertheless, the recovery in the labor market is far from complete," with the unemployment rate "still well above levels that FOMC participants estimate is consistent with maximum sustainable employment."
Yellen summed up her remarks by stating: "Since the financial crisis and the depths of the recession, substantial progress has been made in restoring the economy to health and in strengthening the financial system. Still, there is more to do. Too many Americans remain unemployed, inflation remains below our longer-run objective, and the work of making the financial system more robust has not yet been completed."

�At Vanity Fair�s annual Oscar Night bash the effect is sheer magic as stars from very separate universes collide and then revel in the reflected dazzle. Yet, as Frank DiGiacomo reveals, there�s nothing accidental about it. Here�s how the party got started, took off, and quickly became the hottest and toughest invite in town.�
This is from the magazine�s self-congratulatory March issue, out any minute, and it sure takes me back to the time when I went out in person every year to enjoy this big bash. I would still go if I didn�t dislike flying so much! But you and I can enjoy vicariously the thrill of rubbing elbows with the biggest stars because there they are in this issue � the grandest stars of past, present and future in a magazine where the cover shows Ben Affleck, Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper nestled down with what looks like a gorilla and a bear. I was particularly taken with an inside photo of a scene from the 2007 party where, when Jennifer Hudson won for best supporting actress, I turned around from the table in front of them to look at the famous seated directly behind me. There, Donna Karan, Oprah Winfrey, Mary J. Blige and her husband, Kendu Isaacs, all were with their mouths agape, before they began applauding hysterically. The photo is rare and spectacular. (Photographer Eric Charbonneau must have been sitting right at my table.)
There is also �The 60 Minutes Vanity Fair Poll,� which tells us that only four out of five of us can remember the name of the movie where the line goes, �I coulda been a contender.� (It was Marlon Brando in �On the Waterfront.�)
Only 21 percent polled realized that Harvey Weinstein is an Oscar-winning producer, 39 percent want Meryl Streep to play Hillary Clinton, 28 percent consider Clint Eastwood the outstanding leading male actor of all time, beating out Denzel Washington, Cary Grant, Jack Nicholson, George Clooney and Humphrey Bogart, and, it turns out, 46 percent dislike foreign films with subtitles.
Vanity Fair for March does include a small piece written by yours truly about actress Holland Taylor portraying the late governor of Texas, Ann Richards, and the opening of her one-woman tour de force titled �Ann,� slated for Lincoln Center�s Vivian Beaumont Theater beginning March 7.
But the bulk of the magazine is given over to famous photographer Bruce Weber and his love of animals. Editor Graydon Carter has taken a chance on giving the fabulous Mr. Weber his head, if not exactly his paw. This always makes for controversy.

Tuesday, July 9, 2013
Department of Radiology Chairman Emeritus James H. Thrall, MD, discusses our decade-long commitment to reducing CT radiation to as low a level as possible for each patient.
Mass General Imaging has developed software tools that help referring physicians choose exams that match the patient's needs—including radiation-free alternatives.
The July 2013 issue of Scientific American examines research methodology to predict future cancer risk associated with CT scans, noting that "most estimates of the excess cancer risk from CT scans over the past several decades rely largely on a potentially misleading data set" - atomic bomb survivors. To better understand the risks of radiation, several researchers are now studying cancer cases among people who have received CT scans.
Regardless of the data, researchers and clinicians are already working to reduce radiation levels without compromising image quality, according to the article. It specifically highlights research conducted by Mannudeep Kalra, MD and Sarabjeet Singh, MBBS of the Mass General Department of Radiology. Using cadavers as their study population:
"...the researchers have discovered that they can diagnose certain abnormal growths in the lungs and perform routine chest exams with about 75 percent less radiation than usual—a strategy Mass General has since adopted. Singh and Kalra are now sharing their methods with radiologists and technologists from hospitals and scanning centers across the U.S. and around the globe."
For over 20 years, Mass General researchers have been at the forefront of contributing to the scientific literature on developing and implementing radiation dose-reduction techniques. Founded in 2010 and co-directed by Dr. Kalra, the Webster Center at Mass General is dedicated to developing and promoting imaging methods that ensure the lowest achievable level of patient exposure to radiation.

Ogg Vorbis and Opus audio formats support [Firefox and Chrome support it]
Ogg Vorbis and Opus are free and open-source audio codecs with great quality. They are developed by Xiph.Org Foundation and IETF.
Opus codec provides the best quality (latest listening tests: http://listening-test.coresv.net/results.htm for 96 kbps and http://listening-tests.hydrogenaud.io/igorc/results.html for 64 kbps) and very low latency (http://opus-codec.com/comparison/ ). More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_%28audio_format%29 . Support status: http://caniuse.com/#search=opus .
Ogg Vorbis also provides good quality. It is an old audio format and you can find many of Ogg Vorbis files in the web. Ogg Vorbis is very popular in the Linux world. More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis and http://vorbis.com/ . Support status: http://caniuse.com/#search=ogg .
OGG, Theora and Vorbis are now supported in the Fall Creators Update by installing the Web Media Extension from the Microsoft Store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9n5tdp8vcmhs
Long-term, we expect to expand distribution of the Web Media Extension package to all Windows 10 devices so that these formats become a trusted and reliable part of the web platform available to developers.

Finally! Thank you, Microsoft!
Marat Tanalin | tanalin.com commented
Indeed, the feature should be available out of the box, otherwise it's almost useless.
Edge should support Ogg Vorbis and Opus by default, without any extensions. It might be marked as completed if the extension is included in the next Windows 10 update, for example. But now, when a user has to install an extension, it is not completed.
[Deleted User] commented
This is now supported on Windows 10 FCU. Install the "Web Media Extension" from the Windows Store and have fun.

Great to see this being picked up, for the sake of a more open web when it comes to codecs.
Wow, really good news! Looking forward to.
damasta commented
Ogg container with opus and vorbis codec support are the 6. and 7. most voted for features for Edge on uservoice. Please do not continue to ignore these requests. And please don't forget Edge on Mobile. For a mobile device, It is an excellent browser and handles other video and audio brilliantly. Streaming h.264 or h.265 to the recent Lumias is super energy efficient - 45 minutes of full-HD only "cost" about 15% battery on my 950XL. If that could be extended to truly open HTML5 standards, edge would seriously rock.
This ticket is about Ogg Vorbis and (Ogg) Opus. It means that support of the Ogg container is mandatory. Support of this container requires just a small amount of code. It worth almost nothing to support it. Just please!
Tony commented
I would like to see Opus & .wav audio-tag support added to IE11 - which is a surprisingly good browser now (for both user and web-developer).
Microsoft & IBM developed the .wav format, so licensing should not be a problem. It may not be optimal for the web but we use.wav for telephone announcements and we cannot use other formats (external dependency). To find that FF & Chrome can support .wav but IE11 cannot is both disappointing and frustrating.
Thomas Ruecker, I'm the author of this ticket and I meant support of the Ogg Vorbis and Opus in the <audio> tag. It is absolutely useless for a general web-developer when it is supported only for WebRTC connections.
Admin Bob commented
by giving it up already!
Alice Wonder commented
I wonder if Opus plays in Edge now if put in a mkv container and called WebM? I seem to recall that if you installed the fluendo codecs in Win 7 and WebM support in IE in Windows 7 that you could get it to play Ogg Vorbis that way.
Alice Wonder commented
Hi, I would not object to Ogg Vorbis support but Ogg Opus is what I really want to see supported.
I run a website that provides audios (spoken content) and I do use HE-AAC which allows for considerable compression but Ogg Opus provides for even better compression at the same audio quality.
Where bandwidth isn't an issue it doesn't matter, but for users who either pay for bandwidth or who have poor Internet connections, the smaller file size of Ogg Opus is a benefit to them. Right now they can get that using Chrome or FireFox but if Edge is the browser they prefer, I believe they should be able to get it in Edge too.
Thomas Ruecker (TBR) commented
Evgeny, as much as I want to see Ogg support, I have to defend them on this one.
They only implemented the Opus codec, not the Ogg container. Probably to just get WebRTC working better. There Opus is sent unencapsulated as real time VoIP data.
So, yes, those files won't play, until they also implement Ogg container support. Let's hope, that this will happen soon. Then proper and full Opus support will be possible.
Evgeny Vrublevsky commented
You are liars!
Edge 14 can't play even default example opus files:
https://opus-codec.org/examples/ (see Example of use in a web page).
Evgeny Vrublevsky commented
Good news, thanks! Please don't forget about the Ogg Vorbis support. This format is very popular on the Wikipedia, for example.
Anonymous commented
Would the support be extended to the Operating System also? I can't see to get any metadata via explorer.
Thomas Ruecker (TBR) commented
As commented on the other Ogg suggestion. Please pay attention to Ogg Chaining (Page 4 of RFC 3533).
This also affects Opus audio files and streams.
David Storey [MSFT] commented
@shmeri if you'd like to vote for the OGG container, there is a userVoice suggestions here: https://wpdev.uservoice.com/forums/257854-microsoft-edge-developer/suggestions/9591183-support-ogv-and-ogg-video-and-audio-format-in-micr
shmerl commented
There is a gotcha though. While Opus, Vorbis and VP9 are planned, Ogg container is so far only under consideration: http://dev.modern.ie/platform/status/oggcontainer/
Which seems to indicate that Ogg/Opus or Ogg/Vorbis in the audio tag won't be possible for now.

Three Telugu fonts for Internet released
Usage of Telugu language on Internet got a fillip with the release three new fonts on Tuesday by the Chief Minister, N. Kiran Kumar Reddy.
The new fonts – Ponnala font, Ravi Prakash font and Lakkireddy font were jointly developed by the A.P. IT department and Silicon Andhra, a Telugu social organisation of the USA. The availability of these fonts in Unicode is expected to give an impetus to the usage of Telugu on Internet and promote the language and culture. The fonts were named after people who sponsored them and they include the IT Minister, Ponnala Lakshmaiah; TV 9 CEO, Ravi Prakash, and a US based Telugu businessmen Lakireddy Hanimi Reddy.
He also opened a website "Telugu Vijayam" at the programme organised to mark the International Mother Languages Day on Tuesday. Mr. Reddy hoped that a day will come when companies would ask for people proficient in Telugu language like they are asking for proficiency in English now. Internet, he felt, can create those opportunities and agreed with the views of earlier speakers that all the western countries use their mother-tongue for business activity. But, he felt such a scenario will come only when parents insist children on speaking Telugu at home.

ABC Confirms That a 'Roseanne' Revival Is Happening
By: Joe Hyer
May 16, 2017
Cue that iconic harmonica. We're officially heading back to Lanford, Illinois. Yes, Dan Conner and BOTH Becky's will be heading to Lanford.
ABC just announced moments ago (May 16) that a revival of the 90s sitcom Roseanne is coming to your television (or streaming device) in 2018. So what do we know about the show? Here are the five things we know so far.
- PREMIERE DATE - The updated show is expected to premiere in the middle of the 2017/2018 television season, according to ABC's release. We'll see the Conners still living pay check to pay check in today's society, they say.
- PRODUCTION - Sara Gilbert (who plays Darlene Conner) and comedian Whitney Cummings will actually join the team of producers for the series. They will work alongside the series' original producers (Roseanne Barr, Tom Werner and Bruce Helford) on the show.
- CASTING - The show's original cast will all be there. Roseanne Barr (Roseanne), John Goodman (Dan), Lecy Goranson (Becky) Sara Gilbert (Darlene), Laurie Metcalf (Aunt Jackie), and Michael Fishman (DJ) are all on board.
- THE "BECKY SITUATION" - Both actresses (Lecy Goranson and Sarah Chalke) who played Becky on the hit show will be part of the revival. Goranson (original Becky) will reprise the role of Becky Conner. Sarah Chalke (replacement Becky) is expected to appear in "another role" on the show.
Update: Both Lecy Goranson & @sarahchalke will appear in ABC's #Roseanne revival, but only 1 of 'em will play Becky https://t.co/ydDcsBjQyN pic.twitter.com/IN4JNP1jcU— Michael Ausiello (@MichaelAusiello) May 16, 2017
- THE "DAN SITUATION" - If you'll recall, the character of Dan Conner (played by John Goodman) died of a heart attack in the show's finale. In 2009, however, Roseanne Barr says she imagined that Dan would likely have faked his own death.
Roseanne originally ran on ABC for 9 seasons (1988 through 1997).

HOUSTON -- Jose Veras pumped his fist somewhat violently on the mound.
Fireworks went off in the background at Minute Maid Park.View Full Game Coverage
White Sox third-base coach Joe McEwing stood almost motionless, bent over at the waste, hands on his knees and staring at second base. And Jordan Danks, the pinch-runner who was picked off second by the Houston closer to finish out a 4-3 Astros victory, could only argue with second-base umpire Dana DeMuth that his left hand hit the base before shortstop Ronny Cedeno tagged Danks' upper arm.
Much like the 2013 season for the White sox (28-37), Danks presented a losing argument.
"It's like we're finding new ways to do it," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura of his team's third straight loss and second consecutive in this four-game wraparound series against the American League's worst team.
"It [stinks] losing. I don't know how else to put it," said White Sox starter John Danks of this latest crushing setback. "Yeah, it [stinks]. I'm sorry I don't know what else to say."
The older of the two Danks' brothers was pretty solid over six-plus innings, getting touched up for four runs on five hits, while striking out five and walking one. Danks' string of consecutive batters retired, dating back to last Saturday's start against the A's, ended in the second inning at 26 when he hit Carlos Pena with a 2-2 changeup. Cedeno followed with a run-scoring double to left-center.
Home runs by Jason Castro, on an 0-2 fastball, and one-time White Sox Minor Leaguer Chris Carter, off a changeup, raised Houston's advantage to 3-1 in the fourth. It jumped to 4-1 in the fifth on a run-scoring double from Brandon Barnes.
When Danks (1-3) walked Pena to open the seventh, he was done at just 76 pitches. Reliever Matt Lindstrom kept the Astros off the board with the help of Cedeno's double-play grounder back to the mound, but the usually upbeat Danks showed restraint postgame when responding directly that the early departure is not his decision to make.
"I'm healthy. I feel good," Danks said. "I just do what I'm told. That's part of it."
"I'd like to leave him in there, but with the righties coming in there, we need a double-play ball and Lindstrom's that guy," Ventura said. "Normally, I'm not going to pull a guy in that spot, but we needed a ground ball to keep it close. It's just one of those decisions you have to make."
Trailing by one run in the eighth inning, Alexei Ramirez quickly became the tying run by leading off with a double to right-center off reliever Paul Clemens. He stayed at second when Clemens fanned Alex Rios, moved to third on Adam Dunn's groundout off reliever Wesley Wright and after an intentional walk to Paul Konerko, Hector Ambriz retired pinch-hitter Jeff Keppinger on a grounder to short.
There was the offensive shortcoming that has plagued the White Sox throughout the season. The baserunning blunder by Jordan Danks was kind of a new-fangled heartbreaker. Veras (13th save) walked Dayan Viciedo to open the ninth, and Danks reached second via a stolen base. With two outs and Alejandro De Aza at the plate, Veras never had to throw a pitch to the left-handed-hitting leadoff man.
"I saw they [middle infielders] were both way off, so I got a little bigger [lead]," Jordan Danks said. "I looked over at Joe and he was saying, 'Get a big lead. You're coming around, no matter what, if the ball gets in play.' Just one of those things."
"You practice plays like that in Spring Training," Houston manager Bo Porter said. "Lo and behold, you get this deep into the season and it ends up being a very big play in a win."
Lucas Harrell (5-7), who began his professional career with the White Sox just like Carter, earned the victory by striking out seven and walking one in 6 2/3 innings. Dunn homered off Harrell in the seventh, while Gordon Beckham doubled home a run in that same frame. But Tyler Flowers' single up the middle was smothered by second baseman Jose Altuve and kept on the infield, giving Clemens a chance to enter the game, strike out De Aza and strand runners on the corners.
Ventura was asked postgame about possible moves on the horizon if the White Sox don't start winning, as well as the team's 1-11 run on the road, with his squad being outscored 66-37 during that stretch. Judging by Ventura's response, his only focus remains fixing this team.
"They're hard anywhere right now," said Ventura of his team's horrid road slump. "It doesn't matter where we're at. We've got to focus on winning games. It doesn't matter if we're at home or in Europe, we've got to win games.
"I'm focused more on what we're doing here than thinking about that stuff. We just have to clean it up. Once you figure out one thing, something else happens. You just stay focused on what you're doing."

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (Blugolds.com) — The UW-Eau Claire softball team needed to sweep a doubleheader with UW-Platteville to keep their hopes alive for a WIAC regular season title and the chance to host the WIAC tournament next weekend.
Playing at home for just the second time this season, again at Bollinger Field, the Blugolds needed extra innings to take game one, 2-1, but in game two, it was all UW-Eau Claire, as they defeated the Pioneers 12-1 in five innings.
In game one, the Pioneers (8-20, 2-14) got on the board first with a run off of starting pitcher Zana Lorbetske (Fr.-Rhinelander, Wis./Three Lakes). And it stayed that way for a while, as the Blugolds (23-6, 11-3) struggled to get the offense going.
Finally, in the bottom of the fifth, UW-Eau Claire was able to break through and tie the game. Amanda Fischer (So.-Wausau Wis./West) reached on an error to start the inning. Emily Haluska (Sr.-Stevens Point, Wis./SPASH) bunted her over to second and she moved to third a batter later. Amanda Houle (Jr.-Chisago City, Minn./Chisago Lakes) reached on infield single to bring home Fischer.
In the top of the ninth, the Pioneers stranded the bases loaded with just one out, setting the stage for Jenny Hess (Sr.-Wisconsin Rapids, Wis./Lincoln) and the Blugolds.
Fischer once again started the rally with a single and Haluska once again laid down a sacrifice bunt, but was able to reach on a throwing error. Nikki Brooks (So.-New Richmond, Wis./St. Croix Central) reached on a fielder's choice to load the bases.
After a strikeout, Hess lined a single to center field to bring home Fischer to cap the 2-1 walk-off victory for the Blugolds.
Emma Wishau (Jr.-Burlington, Wis./Waterford Union) picked up the win, pitching two innings in relief. She did not give up a run on two hits and improved to 6-2 this season. Lorbetske went just two innings before giving way to Emily Ruegemer (Jr.-St. Cloud, Minn./Cathedral), who pitched five innings and did not allow a run on five hits.
Fischer and Brooks led the team offensively with two hits each. Hess, Houle and Sarah Fern (Sr.-Brooklyn Center, Minn./Park Center) provided the other hits.
In game two, it was all UW-Eau Claire from the start. They scored three runs in the first, six in the second and three in the third, leaving little doubt in the outcome of this one.
Fischer tripled in two runs in the first and Haluska singled to bring in Fischer for the 3-0 lead. In the second, the Blugolds were aided by three Pioneer errors, leading to the six-run barrage.
The Pioneers did get on the board with an RBI double in the third, but that was all they could muster against Blugold starter Laura Raflik (So.-Plover, Wis./Pacelli) who was otherwise effective throughout the game.
Raflik went the distance and improved to 7-1 while giving up just the one run on five hits.
Fischer and Hess led the offensive charge with two hits each, including a triple for Fischer and a double for Hess. Six other Blugolds finished with one hit each.
UW-Oshkosh split with UW-Stout, leaving UW-Eau Claire atop the conference standings at the end of the day. The Titans still have a doubleheader with UW-Stevens Point, but the big matchup will come Tuesday when they host the Blugolds for a doubleheader.
The doubleheader on Tuesday will be the final two games of the regular season for the Blugolds before they begin play in the conference tournament next Friday.

The Cloud Spinner
By Michael Catchpool; Illustrated by Alison Jay
The Cloud Spinner is, as its title suggests, about a boy who makes fine clothes spun from clouds "just as his mother had taught him." When the greedy King learns of the boy's talents he demands many outfits be made. Using repetitive and cautionary words, the boy explains over-and-over: "It would not be wise … Your Majesty does not need them." The clouds eventually disappear and action must be taken. Alison Jay's signature paintings with the crackle varnish lend themselves well to this clever and fantastical, "green" fairy tale told by Michael Catchpool—the crackling provides an aged feeling of wisdom, while her bright pallet and fanciful placement of animals add a level of freshness that draws young readers in easily. When it comes to delivering a message of conserving resources for our future, a story driven by a child protagonist is the perfect antidote—as gentle as a floating cloud overhead, Catchpool's tale gives power to the young people!

In your original piece you had "expressed" but in your question you asked about "express". I thought you may have been so eager to get your question onto the forum that you had mistyped your question.

Old Dominion Snaps Losing Streak, Defeats JMU 87-69
By ODU Athletics
Feb. 4, 2006
NORFOLK, VA-- Six Monarchs scored in double figures to help propel the Old Dominion Monarchs to a 87-69 conference win over James Madison on Saturday night before a sellout crowd of 8,424 at the Ted Constant Center. Old Dominion snapped their two-game losing streak, and improved to 16-7 (9-4) while James Madison drops to 3-17 (0-12) on the year. ODU's 87 point total is tied for their highest output of the season, equaling their total against DePaul earlier in the year. The sellout crowd was the third of the year at the Constant Center.
The Monarchs came out firing on all cylinders in the first half as consecutive three-pointers by Brian Henderson, Arnaud Dahi, and Drew Williamson gave ODU an early 11-0 lead. After another Williamson trey put the Monarchs up by 10, the Dukes answered with an 11-0 run capped off by a Joe Posey lay-up that gave the visitors their only lead of the night, 20-19 with 9:19 left in the first half.
Junior guard John Morris (Camp Hill), who tied a career-high with 12 points on the night, would drill two three-pointers and convert two foul shots in the ensuing 3:18 minutes of action as ODU regained their lead and eventually built their advantage to 18 as the teams went into the half with the Monarchs led 49-31.
ODU would gain their largest lead of the night after an Abdi Lidonde trey put the Monarchs up 87-56 with 2:52 remaining in the contest. JMU scored the final 13 points of the game as the two teams tied in second half scoring 38-38.
Old Dominion was accurate from the floor all night, shooting .563% from the field, and .526% from three point land. The Monarchs also outrebounded JMU 38-31 and blocked five shots to Madison's zero.
Dahi and Williamson led the Monarchs with 14 points apiece, with Williamson dishing out a game-high seven assists as well. Junior forward Valdas Vasylius (Klaipeda, Lithuania) scored 13 points, and pulled down eight boards to lead both teams in that category. Senior forward Alex Loughton (Perth, Australia) and junior guard Abdi Lidonde (Sutton, MA) both contributed ten points for Old Dominion. Lidonde also tied his career high totals in rebounds (4) and assists (3).
For James Madison, Juwann James poured in a game-high 16 points, grabbed six rebounds, and took five steals. Posey added fourteen points and six rebounds.
The sellout crowd in attendance at the Ted Constant Center was ODU's third of the year along with the Virginia Tech and Virginia Commonwealth games.
ODU returns to the hardwood on Thursday night as they host William & Mary at the Ted Constant Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

NORWICH— Hundreds of marchers and riders and thousands of spectators celebrated the start of the Christmas season Saturday with the annual Winter Festival Parade.
"I've never missed one," Jackie Dehler said. "I don't even live in Norwich."
Dehler, who lives in Hanover, said when it comes to parades, "I like them all."
"This is the best parade Norwich has," Tammi Stanley said. She came with her twin 7-year-old sons, Jackson and William. They were watching for Occum volunteer firefighter Scott Stanley. "We like it every year," Tammi Stanley said.
Led by the Norwich police, the parade stepped off at 1 p.m. sharp at Chelsea Parade, and crowds greeted the arrival of Santa Claus on his sleigh in Franklin Square more than 90 minutes later.
"Is everybody being good?" Santa called to children waving to him from the sidewalk.
"Yes," the children replied.
"All right," Santa said.
Between the police and Santa was a variety of marchers, floats and performers, including members of the City Council and Norwich's legislative delegation, Otis Library, the Leffingwell House Museum, the Greater Norwich Chamber of Commerce, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and students in the school's D.A.R.E. program.
"It's all community efforts," parade chairman David Wigfield said.
Wigfield said he was pleased at how well the parade went. "We had no gaps. We fight that every year."
The Norwich Free Academy Marching Band played "Deck the Halls" as the marchers arrived in Franklin Square.
The Ancient Mariners, a fife-and-drum corps whose members dress as old-time sailors, also provided music, as did the Norwich-based cover band Melaena, whose members rode on a flatbed trailer and channeled Bruce Springsteen, performing "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town."
All of Norwich's fire departments joined in the parade and festively decorated many of their fire trucks. One from the East Great Plain Department featured a giant inflatable Snoopy wearing a Santa hat.
Norwich Public Utilities decorated its 3-foot-tall remote-control Tilly talking truck, as well as one of its regular-size trucks.
Probably the largest contingent in the parade were several dozen young students from All the Right Moves Dance Center in Norwich.
"They have to do extra practices to get ready for the parade," Lisa Rickey, of Norwich said. Rickey's daughter performed with the dancers, who wore leotards in the cold weather.
Rickey's family came with another family, the Michauds. They were festively dressed in Santa hats and wacky sunglasses.
Other dance groups braving the cold in spandex were students from the Lion's Den Dance Company in New London and 3-D Dance Studio in Norwich.
The final float in front of Santa, from Greentree Tree Service in Norwich, featured the Grinch riding on his sleigh full of stolen Christmas presents.
After Santa arrived in Franklin Square, he posed for photos with young children and their parents.
"Excellent," said Scott Sortwell, who came with his wife, Michelle, and their 2 ½-year-old child, Alex. "It was very good."

Samsung Exhilarate Manual / User Guide
This is the official Samsung Exhilarate User Guide in English provided from the manufacturer. If you are looking for detailed technical specifications, please see our Specs page.
Samsung Exhilarate is built with the environment in mind. Constructed from 80 percent recycled post-consumer materials, the device successfully meets a number of sustainability standards. That is why it has been given a Platinum certification by UL Environment – a group of folks that determine how "green" a certain product is. At the same time, the Samsung Exhilarate should deliver a decent Android experience, and while we are not expecting to see any spectacular hardware under its hood, its front is occupied by a 4-inch Super AMOLED display. Both a front-facing and a rear camera are on board, along with an LTE radio for speedy access to the internet.

#CrushCruelty London March 12th August 2017
The 12th August, a day previously associated with the start of the grouse shooting season took on new meaning this year as thousands of campaigners took to the streets of London for the #CrushCruelty march.The Demonstrators, led by writer and broadcaster, Chris Packham, marched through central London to Downing Street, calling for an end to badger culling and driven grouse shooting and urging the Government to keep the ban on fox hunting with hounds.
Packham told the crowd that Fox hunting was 'out of date' and continued: "They sometimes say: 'Ah, it's a tradition.' Slavery was a tradition, racism was a tradition, homophobia was a tradition. We haven't quite got rid of all of them, but we are justifiably trying to get rid of these abhorrent, out-of-date ideas. The idea that in the 21st century it's appropriate to charge around the countryside tearing animals to pieces with dogs is wrong, pure and simple.
Tris Pearce, A trustee of the Badger Trust said: "We can't keep spending taxpayers' money killing badgers with it making absolutely no meaningful contribution to the reduction of tuberculosis."
The march, that extended the length of Regent's Street had campaigners display placards such as Keep the ban, Stop the cull and, in a play on the Sex Pistols album cover, Never mind the B*llocks - where's the Hen Harriers Mark Avery, Author and Campaigner said "We are robbed of Hen Harriers because of wildlife crime on grouse moors – just another reason to ban this unkind, unsustainable and unnecessary so-called sport'.'
The loudest cheer of the day came from the news that Hunt Saboteurs had successfully stopped a shoot on the Notorious Saddleworth Moor before moving to the Fitzwilliam estate in the heart of the Peak District and preventing the afternoon shoot.
The #Crush Cruelty march organised by Badger Trust, Born Free Foundation, IFAW, League Against Cruel Sports and Save Me Trust, is proof of the new momentum from the public in calling for an end to animal abuse in the British countryside.
Save Me Trust has actively campaigned to protect and strengthen the Hunting Act and to stop the ineffective, inhumane and expensive badger cull. Speaking at the march Save Me called for the exemptions in the hunting act to be removed, for Custodial sentences and that the Police and CPS take action.
Badger culling that can never be the solution to Bovine TB in cattle. We are appalled by the inhumane destruction of a protected species, with no badgers even being tested for bTB. Every Badger shot costs the British taxpayer £7000 - for that, we could get a new nurse into our wonderful NHS for every three badgers shot by contract killers - and they shot over 10,000 last year alone. Now is the time to stop the cull.
The #CrushCruelty march ensures that Animal welfare stays high on the Governments agenda following Theresa May's pre election comments that she "Had always supported fox hunting and would support it being reintroduced" with the comment being widely accepted as one of the main reasons for the Conservative party losing its majority in the 2017 general election. Polls consistently reveal around 84% of the British public are opposed to Hunting with hounds.
Sport is what we have witnessed this week at the World Athletics championships in London, where the hard work and commitment of a few, delight millions worldwide - NOT the wholesale slaughter of Grouse and Pheasants by a minority, prepared to destroy our native moorlands and devastate our native wildlife for their own pleasure.

Did you know that the winter is still a great time to list a home? Although you may know this, you clients may not. Most sellers feel that the spring is the best time to list; however, while the spring is the most popular time to list, there are advantages to listing a home in the winter. While these benefits may vary by area, here are a few reasons to sell now.
1. Buyers tend to be more motivated to purchase. While there may be fewer buyers in the winter, the ones that are out there tend to be more motivated to buy as soon as they can. Which leads to…
2. Your home may sell faster. Again, homes seem to fly off the market in the spring, but homes on the market in winter often sell within three months. According to a survey by Redfin, home on the market in January, February and March have the best chances of being sold within 90 days.
3. Your home may sell above list price. Although your home is slightly more likely to sell above list price in the spring, the chances of it selling above list price in the winter are equal to that of the summer and fall.
If you have sellers who are on the fence about listing their homes this winter, explain these benefits to them. Even better, if you have compelling statistics about homes in your area selling faster during the winter, relay that information to them as well.

In everything from our phones to our cars to our watches, computers are so pervasive, we usually do not even think about them (unless they break like the one we are working with right now at my house). So news about updated computer chips is NEWS. None of this who is shooting whom or whatever. This is the real news of the day.
So here it goes. Intel is releasing a whole new set of computer (CPU) chips referred to by the name of Ivy Bridge. The first release of the new chips are "Quad Cores" according to news accounts. Quoting from the news release and will take place within the week, probably 23 April 2012,
Ivy Bridge is the first in a series of upcoming Intel mainstream chips that emphasize graphics and multimedia processing over more traditional compute tasks. And most importantly for consumers, Ivy Bridge chips will power the wave of Windows 8 ultrabooks that will break later in the year. Those systems are expected to have touch screens and include hybrid designs that straddle the laptop and tablet markets.Ultrabooks, for the uninitiated, are what the media calls computers that copy the Apple MacBook Air. If you can imagine, every new laptop released with the new chips will get thinner and lighter. There are supposed to be over 100 different models of new laptops waiting to be introduced from different manufacturers.
Does this really affect the stodgy old world of genealogy? (Hmm. did I really say that? Does that mean I am stodgy too? Maybe that's why no one will talk to me anymore?) Hey, wait a minute! I am anything but stodgy and most of genealogy today isn't either. Yes, it will affect genealogy. Basically, it means that all of us are once again one whole computer chip behind in our technology. Those of you still clinging to Intel 8086 chip sets have moved from the Jurassic to the Triassic.
So what else is going on in the world of high tech? Plenty. Intel is also releasing the first Intel chip powered smartphone this week. You probably didn't realize that the smartphone world was built on specialized computer chips that were different than those in most laptop and desktop computers.
As long as we are talking about Intel, they also announced a 60GB solid state drive (flash drive) for a retail price of $89. This may not seem like big news but overall, solid state drives (or SSDs) are well on their way to replace hard disk drives as the main storage media. Once the storage capacity of the drives and the price comes fairly close to a hard drive, there will be a point at which they will suddenly become the only drives available and hard drives will disappear. This may happen this year or next.
Oh, well. It only takes money and time to keep up to date with technology. Oh, and I forgot, a lot of new learning.

Gov. Bob McDonnell says two of his daughters repaid wedding gifts to political donor and corporate chieftain Jonnie Williams with their own money. But he ruled out repaying the state for legal bills totaling $53,530 and growing for a review that cleared him of wrongdoing.
On his monthly radio appearance Thursday on Richmond-based WRVA, McDonnell said the legal defense fund friends have established for him will help defray his private legal bills.
Those arise from federal and state investigations into thousands of dollars in gifts his family received from Williams and whether the governor used his authority to benefit Williams.
The governor has said in a series of radio shows and interviews that he's returning all the tangible gifts from Williams still in his possession.

Exciting Changes are Happening!/
Greetings friends! I'm super excited to share some news with you!
Let me begin with a bit of history...
When I started this blog I had every intention of being an active Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. In the past four years I have had some success with this, but have had some set backs as well. I have frequent migraines which really gets in the way of scheduling events! While on my stamping journey I have also learned that while I love Stampin' Up! and will continue as a hobby demonstrator, my main interest lies in the creative process of stamping.
I will continue to stamp and blog, no worries! I love to share the creative journey but in keeping with my new focus of selling my creations rather than selling product, I have established a new blog: http://shannonkaypaperie.com/.
My new blog is more in line with who I am today and the goals I have today. I am still going to be a part of the Pals Paper Arts design team and starting January 4th, 2015, will be a guest designer with The Paper Players as well!
I truly hope that you will hop on over to my new blog and subscribe to continue to receive my posts! I thank you so very much for your support over the past three years, I have learned and grown so much! I look forward to many more years of creativity and hope you will join me for the journey!
Here are a few samples of what I have been working on recently!
Thanks you for everything and remember to visit me at Shannon Kay Paperie!!
Wishing you joy and blessing!

ICAN- International Common Assessment Number: The need of the hour
When there is a system of international financial reporting system (IFRS) is much in discussion, why the policy makers are not thinking for ICAN( International Common Assessment Number) in place of PAN (Permanent Assessment Number)as in the in case of assessees in India. In this situation, any individual's income earned any where in the world can become under a common tax planning tool.
The government of India has agreements with most other nations that determine how multinational companies are taxed. In other words, the tax treaties attempt to avoid the double-taxation that would occur if two nations taxed the same income. Since transfer prices represent revenue to the upstream division and an expense to the downstream division, the transfer price affects the calculation of divisional profits that represent taxable income in the nations where the divisions are based. Further, double taxation avoidance agreements also helpful for monitoring and control of fraudulent affairs in the corporate world. In this context, this paper is intended to examine the significance of uniform assessment system in the entire world and need for common assessment number.

When A Man Loves Episode 10
When A Man Loves Episode 10 English Sub
Comments (79) ADD COMMENT
From my point of view, i see that from minute 12 to 13 in part 4 summarized the whole story of this drama, the internal conflict. Although many ppl here do hate MIDO's character, but i think that i do understand how she is feeling and how she is thinking, having a real man in ur life that help u to go forward and respect ur dream is really important being someone's partner is not an easy thing, MiDo and Tea Sang dont have lots in common and for this relationship to succeed they need to do lots of effort
gllitterkidahhhh, but Jae Hee is skillfully using the weak spots in Tae Sang and Mi do's relationship to play upon Mi Do's insecurities. What better way to break up the relationship then to imply your boyfriend is a control freak and doesn't want you to realize your dreams? Mi Do is a child that is easily manipulated by the people around her. Jae Hee is disturbed by the darker side of Tae Sang, but at least Tae Sang has a legitimate reason for his anger...a regrettable past. Jae Hee's reason for being devious? Jealousy. One man has a short temper and the other is just dirt mean. Which would you choose? I'd take Tae Sang any day.

Can't help it! I started hating all of them! OM such a good drama, sooo unpredictable! It made my day Up side down. lol
If I were the main actor, I would forget the girl, buy gadgets and everything with a cape and cowl and become the protector of the city fighting crime as a vigilante. then at day time I'll pretend to be a rich playboy so that my secret identity wouldn't be discovered. i'll have a lot of girls but wouldn't end up married because what's more important is that my city needs me.
DarrenWell based from your comment you already watch CITY HUNTER
i had a girlfriend like her before. she was also two timing me with my best friend. then one night, i discovered what happened between them. i took out my knife and stabbed her at the side and almost killed my best friend. because of their guilt, they told the police that a robber mugged them. she survived, and so did my friend. Still after several years, they got married. but after 7 years they divorced because the guy got bankrupt and the girl was going out with a rich neighbor and he caught them on the act. and then the girl passed from one man to another and now she looks wasted and older and poor. my ex-best friend went to jail for money laundering. while i became a quite famous novelist. Some of my books are even made into movies. i'm quite rich and happy. i also have a lot of girlfriends. but still something seem to be lacking. i must really have loved her.
Khun-ChocoI hate her too! I can't analyze her character.
VallX'm just starting to watch this and I really don't like MiDo she act like know one understands her but her. I don't like his female friend either Baek something she scheme too much.
1010101wow, i couldn't agree more. the more i watch her the more i hate her and i feel like discontinuing this drama. but the lead actor drives me on to watch.
gllitterkidYes the agreed upon emotion for this character is dislike. I think it is partly because the actor Song Seung Heon is so likable and good-looking that the female audience can't understand why the female lead doesn't return his love. It just seems so ridiculous a story line...Song Seung Heon plays a character that can't get a woman to love him? Laughable. The second problem is the female actress. She is undeniably pretty, but lacks depth. Her acting skills include pouting or opening her eyes widely. Sigh. Now if I were acting against Song Seung Heon......hmmmmm.

People just want to quit watching this drama because of this annoying mido character plus bad acting as well. Makes her look awful too although maybe she could be a very sweet girl granting her time to take acting classes and a different role next time. Such a waste of production and Song Seung Hun's good looks & acting :-(
yikesYes what a waste. This drama would have gotten higher ratings if Shin Se Kyung (Mido) was not casted. Just cannot like her even in other dramas.
woowonloveri agree
NonameI think she better love me..yeah.....
What a deadpan actress for a lead ! I checked the start and thought the storyline too lame. The usual rich guy who falls hard for poor girl, who will play hard to get...aaw , give me a break! For starters, he's too good-looking for her...so I decided I'm not gonna watch coz there will be heartbreak for the man and bla bla and she will eventually return his love...what else is new. Such a draaaag. The director ought to be shot..WRONG lead actress!
Well I hate JH character more than MD, why? I hate those people who likes to bother someone else GF/BF ~.~ TS character gets a bit rough/forceful here because of his feeling towards MD rationally wrong emotionally justifiable (LOL) MD here easily swayed by the sweet talk of JH, a bit stupid and annoying.
This drama is twisted in ways I could've never imagined so far. Everyone is selfish and twisted including Tae Sang himself. He's lonely ok. So? He forced the girl into liking him attracting her with money and independance. Something she has always sought for. Mido is a dreamer and an opportunist, even if the lead actress acting is despicable if she was portrayed by someone else everybody would have understand her choices. As for the main plot. I don't get it! With all due respect this drama is a bullshit and I'm still watching because I want someone to die and someone to get laid. Luckily I could get both!
NeverMindMeYou are right -- to answer your questions just read back the title.
lalalol ... hahahaha ... i think he/she meant that when a man loves (unrequited love) its either death (metaphorically) or someone gets laid (literally)
woowonloverblah blah blah i didnt read your comment just too long !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac reports that Apple's Human Interface Vice President Greg Christie will soon be leaving the company. Gurman, citing internal Apple sources, writes that Jony Ive, Apple's VP in charge of design, will soon helm all of Apple's software design efforts.
Christie currently reports directly to Apple's Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering, but Ive will soon take the lead in managing the company's design team.
Sources have reportedly told Gurman that this shakeup has resulted from a falling out between Ive and Christie. The two reportedly clashed over creative direction when Ive tasked Apple's Human Interface team with designing iOS 7.
iOS 7 signified a major design change for Apple's mobile software compared to previous versions. The overall operating system now sports a much flatter design than its former iterations, and Apple has added a new Control Center menu for quickly managing settings. It feels like a completely new environ emt compared to older editions of iOS.
The shakeup comes just before Apple's World Wide Developer Conference in June, where the company is likely to reveal iOS 8 and its next-generation desktop software, Mac OS X 10.10.
Apple reportedly confirmed in a statement to The New York Times' Brian X. Chen that Christie's retirement was announced two weeks ago.
Was just told Apple VP Greg Christie's retirement was announced weeks ago. I don't know anything about Ive politics.— Brian X. Chen (@bxchen) April 9, 2014

why methacrylates are essential to our lives
Methacrylates are a family of monomers used as building blocks to make a wide range of products that we see and use every day. Cars are painted a rainbow of attractive colors with durable scratch resistant finishes made with methacrylates. Toners and inks used in computer printers and in copy machines utilize methacrylate-based polymers as does your dentist when he gives you durable dentures containing life-like methacrylate-based artificial teeth or a natural color, non-metallic dental filling. Methacrylics are even used to produce lubrication oil additives specified by automobile manufacturers to make modern day car engines run smoothly and efficiently, improving engine life and achieving better gas mileage.
Chances are that when you visit a bank you may run across a clear bulletproof security barrier made from methacrylates. Putting a DVD into your player? They are made from methacrylates. As you can see, methacrylates are all around us and are used to make a wide variety of products that are important in our lives.
The Methacrylate Producers Association thanks you for visiting our website. We invite you to explore the world of methacrylates in detail.

What Is Geothermal?
Geothermal heat pumps operate almost exactly the same way as standard heat pumps. Heat pumps use the fluctuating air temperatures as the heat exchange medium; geothermal heat pumps use the constant temperature of the earth to heat and cool your home or office.
According to the Department of Energy, this allows the system to reach efficiencies of 300 – 600 percent even on the coldest winter nights, compared to 175 – 250 percent for air-source heat pumps on cool days.
Despite extreme temperatures throughout the year, the ground 20 feet below the earth's surface remains relatively stable in temperature—making it an extremely reliable heat exchange medium. However, your geothermal heat pump will also be installed with backup heating to ensure your home or office never lacks for comfort.
Types of Geothermal Heat Pumps Installed in Lehighton
There are four basic types of ground loop systems:
- Horizontal – these are ideal for residential installation when there is sufficient land available and vertical installation is difficult.
- Vertical –these are an excellent option for commercial buildings because they do not require a large amount of space to be installed. They can be installed under the parking lot. This is often the most effective residential installation in Carbon County.
- Pond/lake –if there is an adequate body of water, water-source heat pumps are another option and can be very cost-effective. However, the suitability must be carefully evaluated.
- Open-loop –this type of system uses well or surface body water as the heat exchange fluid that circulates directly through the geothermal heat pump. We always return the water to the same depth. Water quality is critical in this type of installation.
Talk to the experts at Jack Lehr Heating, Cooling & Electric to find out which geothermal heat pump option is right for your home or commercial building!
The Benefits of Geothermal
There are many benefits to installing geothermal heat pumps in the Lehighton area:
Reduced Energy Consumption
The main benefit of installing a geothermal heat pump is that they use 25 – 50 percent less electricity than conventional heating or cooling systems.* That means that a geothermal heat pump can use one unit of energy to move three units of heat from the earth.
Environmentally Friendly
Since geothermal heat pumps are so efficient, they can greatly reduce the amount of emissions required to heat and cool your home. In fact, geothermal heat pumps can reduce energy consumption up to 44 percent compared to air-source heat pumps and 72 percent compared with standard air conditioning equipment!*
Durable Construction
Geothermal heat pumps have very few moving parts, and the parts that are moving are safely kept indoors. This means that your system can last 20 years or more!
Minimal Noise
These systems have no outside condensing units, so there is no noise outside the house or commercial building.

solesister necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 211 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Solesister is a start-up online shoe store based in New Zealand. Our mission is to feed women's shoe addiction.
Our target audience is women aged 12-102 who adore stylish, designer shoes - particularly heels.
We are looking for a gorgeous, glam, clean, stylish, web 2.0 brand identity for our website.
The brand identity will dictate the design direction for the remainder of our site - so selection and good use of complementary colour is imperative.
I am thinking of hot pink and incorporating balck and charcoal grey, however your design creativity may take you in a different direction.
The brand identity will need to incorporate a high heel shoe somewhere in it that can then also be used as an avatar, or stand alone graphic on our site. I have uploaded a couple of images showing the form I would like the high heel to take. I like the way the high heels look like they shine.
Visit http://www.heels.com to see an American site operating in our target market.
I have been contemplating a number of straplines, but not yet convinced that we even need one. I am open to suggestions. Some ideas to date are:
1. girl's best friend
2. your new best friend forever
3. feed the addiction
We are likely to use winner of this design project for additional work such as web interface design and business card/stationery design.
