Don't bother running from the fastest police car in the world
Speeders in Dubai, you've met your match and then some.
The United Arab Emirates city's police force was recognized by Guinness World Records for having the fastest police car in the world, a Bugatti Veyron that can hit 407 kilometers per hour (about 253 miles per hour).
Dubai Police have a fleet of luxury cars they use to promote their image and create community interaction, according to Gulf News.
The 16-cylinder, 1,200-horsepower Veyron leads a fleet that includes a Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, Aston Martin One-77, Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari FF, Audi R 8, Nissan GTR, Mercedes SL 63 and the Maclaren MP4-12C.

Red Sox sign C A.J. Pierzynski to One-Year Contract
BOSTON, MA-The Boston Red Sox today signed catcher A.J. Pierzynski to a one-year contract through the 2014 season. A two-time All-Star and former Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award winner, Pierzynski hit .272 with 17 home runs and 70 RBI in 134 games with the Rangers last season. He started 111 games at catcher.
Pierzynski, 36, is a career .322 hitter (39-for-121) in 33 games at Fenway Park (regular and postseason).
BOSTON, MA-The Boston Red Sox today signed catcher A.J. Pierzynski to a one-year contract through the 2014 season. A two-time All-Star and former Louisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award winner, Pierzynski hit .272 with 17 home runs and 70 RBI in 134 games with the Rangers last season. He started 111 games at catcher.
Pierzynski, 36, is a career .322 hitter (39-for-121) in 33 games at Fenway Park (regular and postseason).
The left-handed hitter ranked fifth among American League catchers last season in home runs, the third-highest total of his career behind 2012 (27) and 2005 (18). He is the only major league catcher to reach double digits in home runs in nine of the past 11 years.
Last year, his 44 RBI over his final 70 games (starting July 7) led American League catchers. He hit .302 with runners in scoring position, and has hit at least .300 in those situations in three of the last four years.
Pierzynski has a combined .462 slugging percentage over the last two seasons, tops among American Leaguers who primarily caught. His 44 home runs in that two-year span rank second among AL backstops, one shy of Baltimore's Matt Wieters (45).
Pierzynski has caught at least 110 games in each of the last 13 seasons from 2001-13, establishing the longest such streak in major league history. The native of Bridgehampton, NY leads active major leaguers with 1,678 career games behind the plate and his 14,172.2 career innings caught rank 12th in MLB since the start of the divisional era in 1969.
His .995 career fielding percentage is the best all-time among catchers with at least 1,000 games at the position. Last year, he set a Rangers record for catchers with a .998 fielding percentage (2 errors/959 chances), leading AL backstops for the third time in his career (also .999 in 2005 and .995 in 2011). He also topped AL catchers in double plays (8) and tied for second in assists (65) in 2013.
Nailing baserunners, Pierzynski finished strong in 2013, throwing out 16 of his last 39 runners (41 percent). Overall, he threw out 17 of 66 (26 percent), fifth best among AL qualifiers. Rangers pitchers had a 3.60 ERA with Pierzynski behind the plate last year, the catcher's best mark in 13 full seasons in the big leagues.
Originally selected by Minnesota in the third round of the 1994 June draft, Pierzynski has played parts of 16 seasons in the major leagues with the Twins (1998-2003), Giants (2004), White Sox (2005-12), and Rangers (2013). In 1,763 career games, he has hit .283 with 356 doubles, 22 triples, 172 home runs, 800 RBI, and 729 runs scored, including a lifetime .290 average against right-handed pitching. His 172 career roundtrippers rank second among active catchers to Brian McCann's 176.
Pierzynski earned his first career Silver Slugger Award in 2012, when he set career highs while leading AL catchers with 27 home runs and a .501 slugging percentage. He was selected to his first All-Star team in 2002 with the Twins in his second full big league season, and returned to the Mid-Summer Classic as a member of the White Sox in 2006.
While with Chicago, he caught Philip Humber's perfect game on April 21, 2012 at Seattle, and caught Mark Buehrle's no-hitter on April 18, 2007 against Texas.
In 30 postseason games, Pierzynski has a .300 average, five doubles, one triple, five homers, 17 RBI, and 10 walks. His .892 postseason OPS is the best ever mark as a catcher (min. 100 PA). He hit .262 (11-for-42) with four doubles, three homers, and nine RBI as the starting catcher in all 12 games of the White Sox' run to the 2005 World Series Championship.
While with the White Sox, Pierzynski was involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and was honored as one of 25 "Heroes of Hope" by the organization's Illinois chapter. He was also named White Sox Player of the Year at the March of Dimes' 2009 Charity Dinner.
With the acquisition of Pierzynski, the Red Sox' 40-man roster is now at 39.

Marine Technology Society honors VIMS professor
The Marine Technology Society has bestowed its Lockheed Martin Award for Ocean Science and Engineering on Mark Patterson, associate professor at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.
Patterson is a marine biologist and world expert on underwater robotics with patents in autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology and neural-network recognition of targets from side-scan sonar. He has developed and deployed underwater instrumentation from the Hydrolab and Aquarius underwater habitats, and his work on how flow modulates the metabolism of corals is cited in many textbooks in marine science.
Patterson co-founded Sias Patterson Incorporated, the first company devoted to the design and manufacture of small AUVs. The company's flagship product, Fetch, racked up a long list of firsts, including qualifying as the first swimming supercomputer.
Fetch became commercially available in 1996, well before other technologies developed in Navy-sponsored labs went commercial. Patterson was intimately involved in all aspects of Fetch's development, including the LabVIEW code that controls it, which evolved into a cross-platform "AUV toolkit" used on Northrop Grumman's NNEMO1 AUV. He has been honored with the Antarctic Service Medal and the Phi Beta Kappa Award for Scholarship.
The Marine Technology Society is an international organization of marine scientists, technicians, educators and policy makers. Patterson has been a member since 1998.

Police said they have a confession from a Fall River resident that he fled from the scene "scared" after he allegedly struck the electric wheelchair of James "Jimmy" Moore, 65.
Moore — a lifelong Somerset resident born with cerebral palsy who traveled all over town in his heavy-duty motorized chair — died from his injuries an hour later, about 1 a.m. Saturday.
Police said they have a confession from a Fall River resident that he fled from the scene "scared" after he allegedly struck the electric wheelchair of James "Jimmy" Moore, 65.
Moore — a lifelong Somerset resident born with cerebral palsy who traveled all over town in his heavy-duty motorized chair — died from his injuries an hour later, about 1 a.m. Saturday.
Richard Reis, 35, of 280 Ridge St., Apt. 1, Fall River, was arraigned Wednesday afternoon in Fall River District Court. He is charged with leaving the scene of an accident with personal injuries, death resulting.
Reis faces a sentence, if convicted, of up to 15 years in jail, Police Chief Joseph Ferreira said at a press conference Wednesday morning.
The breakthrough in the search for the suspect's vehicle — a 1999 Toyota Avalon with front-end damage — came Tuesday night, when the suspect's wife, Jenny Reis, called Somerset police shortly before 8 p.m. in response to a recorded automated emergency notification system call town police set up with the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department and seven or eight local police departments several hours earlier.
"She indicated that her father-in-law owns a vehicle matching the description of the car wanted by Somerset police," police said in a statement.
Ferreira said police believe she called with the information innocently, giving a story from her family that the car sustained the damage from a hit-and-run driver Saturday in front of their home.
Ferreira said Reis told police he initially stopped and got out after the accident on Read Street a quarter-mile from Moore's Murphy Village home, and a motorist behind him stopped and asked him what happened.
The other motorist called in the accident at 11:43 p.m.
"'Gee, they didn't even realize that I just did this,'" Ferreira said Reis told them.
"He got scared and left," Ferreira said at the press conference.
"What do you think?" a reporter asked.
"I think he was scared," Ferreira said after he participated with officers interviewing the suspect earlier that morning.
He emphasized Moore was not likely left by himself with life-threatening injuries for very long.
After charging and booking Reis at Fall River headquarters, Somerset police began several hours of interviews at 2 a.m. at their department, Ferreira said.
"No one can use that — being scared — as a justified reason," Ferreira said.
The car is owned by Reis' father and has been impounded by police. It has two child seats in back. Reis is the father of two young children.
Ferreira said Reis told them he had left his job at a pizza place about 11 p.m. to meet a friend to watch a ballgame. He said there was no indication any children were in the car.
"There's no indication that there's alcohol (involved) at this point," he said.
The second motorist, who alerted police about the accident, did not contact police during the initial days of the investigation because the person didn't get a good look at the suspect's car and didn't believe the driver, later identified as Reis, had anything to do with the accident, Ferreira said.
Police used parts numbers to tie the make and model of the suspect's car to a 1998 or 1999 silver spruce Avalon. Ferreira said police logged "hundreds and hundreds of hours. ... Somerset detectives had been looking for this precise car over the last two days, but it was registered to a different Fall River address."
A small grille below the orange corner fog light contained a part number. "We knew 100 percent that part came from a 1998 or 1999 Toyota (Avalon)," Ferreira said. "We ran every single registered 1998 and 1999 Toyota Avalon."
He said their investigating officers made personal visits to at least 60 homes.
Initially they thought the car was gray but learned later from Toyota dealers that model was not made that color.
The night he was killed, Moore, the oldest of three brothers and a sister, had been at the AmVets hall on Brayton Avenue for a clamboil where his brother, Daniel, was the disc jockey. He left on his own, as he often did, to ride his chair about three-quarters of a mile home, his family said.
He was declared dead at 12:55 a.m. Saturday at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence.
Daniel's wife, Joyce Moore, and two nieces were at the press conference, expressing appreciation to police.
"I'm happy in a sense. It's a little bit of closure. At least we can stop looking for a gray car," Joyce Moore said.
"I guess I'm just angry. I just have to get past the anger," she said softly.
Her brother-in-law, who led a life of independence and who "didn't know he was disabled," according to brother Ray Moore and others, went everywhere in town on his motorized wheelchair, including the Somerset's annual Town Meeting a few weeks ago.
He attended that meeting in particular to give support for the police budget, which was in jeopardy of being cut.
Police and Ray Moore escorted Jimmy Moore home after the Town Meeting, which ended about 11 p.m., with their vehicles in front and behind his 500-pound wheelchair, which two grown men could hardly lift up.
The night of the clamboil, he left without others knowing he had, his brother said.
Jimmy Moore made a bit of fame himself indirectly when he initiated and became president of the Russ Gibson Fan Club in the late 1960s, to honor the Boston Red Sox catcher and Fall River native.
Ferreira said he'd known Jimmy Moore for at least 25 years. "It's personal to all of us," he said of apprehending the suspect in this crime.
He said the investigation is continuing with town and state police.

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - A Florida detective trying to crack a 53-year-old unsolved murder case will ask a Kansas judge for permission to exhume and extract DNA from the bodies of two notorious killers made famous in Truman Capote's 1966 true-crime novel, "In Cold Blood."
Sarasota County Sheriff Detective Kim McGath told Reuters she believes the two men convicted for the 1959 murder of Herbert Clutter, his wife and two children in Holcomb, Kansas, might be responsible for a similar killing one month later of a family in Osprey, Florida.
Capote's celebrated book about the Clutter case, written in a new style associated more with fiction than journalism, is often credited with spawning the nonfiction novel genre.
The case of the Florida family, the Walkers, has long stumped investigators. Cliff Walker and his wife and their two toddler children were shot to death in their home near Sarasota, Florida.
McGath, who spent four years reviewing half-century old investigative files on both the Clutter and Walker murders, said the exhumation of killers Richard Hickok and Perry Smith, who were executed in 1965, could provide key clues. Read More

SALT LAKE CITY, July 12 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers say a new kind of light-emitting diode or LED could power television and computer displays, lighting, traffic lights and electronic devices.
University of Utah physicists said their new "spintronic" organic light-emitting diode or OLED promises to be brighter, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than current LEDS.
"It's a completely different technology," physics Professor Z. Valy Vardeny said in a UT release Thursday.
"These new organic LEDs can be brighter than regular organic LEDs."
A prototype of the new kind of LED -- known technically as a spin-polarized organic LED or spin OLED -- produces an orange color, but Vardeny said it should be possible within two years to produce red, blue and even white spin OLEDs.
The main challenge, however, is that the new OLEDs need a temperature of minus 28 degrees Fahrenheit to operate and must be improved to the point they can run at room temperature, he said.

Janie Summers' details
- August 14, 1980
- Dayton, OH, USA
- 125lb
- 5'5"
Janie Summers is the sweet blond next door who always has a smile and a giggle. Janie is the bubbly cheerleader whose panties show every time she's tossed high into the air. Janie is the Midwestern girl shooting hoops on the driveway and making out in the back of a Camaro. Janie is the beauty who haunts men's memories as they regret never making a move. With the signing of her exclusive Digital Playground contract, guys can stop wondering what could've been and start exploring the soft, natural curves of Janie's perky breasts, the creaminess of her skin, and the sexuality radiating from her hazel eyes. Janie Summers is ready to be the object of every person's obsession.
The all-natural Janie Summers is 5'7" tall, and 125 lbs. Born and raised in Ohio, she has an innate love for sports, especially basketball and the Cleveland Cavaliers. As a former cheerleader, Janie definitely knows how to inspire a man. The horny fan can't help sliding a hand between her legs when she thinks about the sweaty bodies bumping together and the rippling muscles of the athletes. Janie spends hours each day in the gym so she can be ready for any chance to play some one-on-one.
Before signing with Digital Playground, Janie attended college for a nursing degree. She is intrigued by the human body and eager to explore every sensual inch of both men and women. Turned on by more than physical allure, Janie is fascinated by the mind and the origin of people's most illicit thoughts. Better understanding of her own body and kinky mind allows Janie to experience the toe-curling, orgasmic sex most only dream about. Janie has become a master of the oral arts and feels her sexual desires best satisfied when she is bent over in her favorite position, doggie-style.
Passionate to her core, Janie is true to her astrological sign, Leo. Her strong sexual urges led her to begin nude modeling. Stimulated by the taboo nature of removing her clothes in front of strangers, Janie decided she was ready to move on to the next level of erotic thrills--adult films. As a Digital Playground contract girl, Janie is excited to work on high quality movies with the top performers in the industry. Instinctively submissive, Janie is looking forward to letting her contract sister Jesse Jane® take control and break her in.
Janie Summers knows that the superficial aspects of her life will change as a result of the stardom she achieves under Digital Playground's guidance, however she is fully confident her beliefs and values will stay intact. Despite all the lustful fans, brilliant magazine covers, and coveted awards that lie in her future, Janie will remain a kind-hearted, family-oriented, sports fan. She simply happens to have a knock-out body and ferocious appetite for sex.

Aussie ISP: We Won't Be Hollywood's Copyright Cops If Hollywood Won't Fix Its Own Business Model
from the hollywood,-heal-thyself dept
Since then, Hollwyood has continued (via the Australian government) to pressure ISPs to step up to become copyright cops anyway, and iiNet has participated in those discussions. But late last week it walked away from the discussions after Hollywood folks kept demanding a system similar to the US's in which ISPs would send along notices to people they accused of infringement. iiNet gave a bunch of good reasons for walking away, but the basic message was that piracy is a problem that the entertainment industry could solve itself by making all of its content available more conveniently and at better prices. Until it does that, it's silly to rope in third parties to try to hold back the tide.
The problem, of course, is that the entertainment industry still doesn't understand what's happening. They flat out reject the idea that piracy might be due to their own unwillingness to embrace the internet and provide more content, in more convenient ways at better prices. So, instead, they believe that everyone else should be responsible for fixing the entertainment industry's own mistakes. It's nice to see iiNet call them out so directly.
A broken record
The conversation has failed to move on. The rights holders are still insisting ISP's should perform work on their behalf instead of addressing what we have always said is the root cause of the infringements – the limited accessibility to desirable content and the discriminatory and high cost of content in Australia. Infringements are a symptom – access is the problem.
Data retention proposals
iiNet won't support any scheme that forces ISPs to retain data in order to allow for the tracking of customer behaviour and the status of any alleged infringements against them.
Collecting and retaining additional customer data at this level is inappropriate, expensive and most importantly, not our responsibility.
It's not iiNet's job to play online police
We've been over this before. The High Court spoke loud and clear in their verdict when they ruled categorically that ISPs have no obligation to protect the rights of third parties, and we're not prepared to harass our customers when the industry has no clear obligation to do so.
It's time to find a new way
We believe that timely, affordable access to legitimate content is the best option for reducing unauthorised sharing.

(This post was originally sent as an email to family and friends in 2008.)
The traditional "First Thanksgiving" was a three day feast in the early fall of 1621 at Plymouth Plantation involving 53 surviving Pilgrims and about 90 Wampanoag Indians.
Three of our ancestors were there, but unfortunately two were in the graveyard. Pratt ancestor Degory Priest and Woodruff ancestor Thomas Rogers died that first winter. Thomas' son Joseph, then an adolescent teenager, survived and participated. Pratt ancestor Phineas did not arrive until 1622. His famous run through the snow took place in the late fall of 1622. Degory's daughter Mary, who would eventually marry Phineas, was still in Holland.
William Bradford tells of their situation (modern spelling):
"They began now to gather in the small harvest they had, and fit up their houses and dwellings against winter, being all well recovered in health and strength and had all things in good plenty. For as some were employed in affairs abroad, others were exercised in fishing, about cod and bass and other fish, of which they took good store, of which every family had their portion. All the summer there was no want; and now began to come in store of fowl, as winter approached of which this place abounds and when they came first (but afterward decreased by degrees). And besides waterfowl there was a great store of wild turkeys, of which they took many, besides venison, etc. Besides, they had about a peck of meal a week to a person, or now since harvest, Indian corn to that proportion. Which made many afterwards write so largely of their plenty to their friends in England, which were not feigned but true reports."
PERSONAL NOTE: As I type this I am looking out over my back yard towards the river. The yard is snow covered and there are 17 wild turkeys foraging. One tom is displaying. Two are pecking at an ear of corn hanging by a small brass chain from a maple tree. That ear replaces one that was stripped overnight, presumably by deer. I have seven that regularly visit my yard and meadow.
Edward Winslow describes the feast (17th century spelling):
"our harvest being gotten in, our governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a speciall manner rejoyce together, after we had gathered the fruits of our labours; they foure in one day killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside served the Company almost a weeke, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes. many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest king Massasoyt, with some ninetie men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five Deere, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governour, and upon the Captaine and others. And although it be not always so plentiful, as it was at this time with us, yet by goodness of God, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plentie."

The paper is expected to provide a blueprint for the new farm bill Chairman Larry Combest, R-Texas, has promised the committee will write before Congress' scheduled Aug. 3 recess. Combest and Rep. Charles Stenholm, D-Texas, the committee's ranking minority member, released the paper on July 12.
"The commitment from House Agriculture Committee members focuses first on producers' goals for flexible and predictable farm policy," Combest said in a statement released with the concept paper.
"Farmer and commodity groups have detailed the policy needs, Congress has again proven support for rural America in this budget, and the House Agriculture Committee can now move to complete the re-write of farm policy this summer," he said, referring to nearly a year of hearings and discussions on a new farm bill.
The paper retains the marketing loan and Agricultural Market Transition Act or AMTA payments of the 1996 farm bill or Freedom to Farm, but it also creates a third form of farm program payments — counter-cyclical payments that would be based on the old target price formula of earlier farm legislation.
The plan would use the same target prices levels of the 1991 farm bill — 72.9 cents per pound for cotton, for example. Loan rates would remain at current levels except for soybeans which would be reduced from $5.26 to $4.92 per bushel.
But, soybeans would also be brought in as a program crop with a newly created AMTA payment of 34 cents and a target price of $5.76 per bushel. The target price for minor oilseeds such as sunflowers would be set at 10.8 cents per pound, according to the paper.
Counter-cyclical payments would be derived by subtracting the higher of the national 12-month season average price received by producers or the national average CCC loan rate plus the AMTA payment or "fixed decoupled payment rate" from the target price.
For cotton, that would mean a 2002 counter-cyclical payment of 15.44 cents per pound (That is, the 72.9-cent target price minus the 51.92-cent rate plus the 5.54-cent AMTA payment for 2002) if the House and Senate can agree on the legislation and President Bush signs it in time for the 2002 crop year. (See table for payments for other commodities.)
Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman issued a statement commending Combest, Stenholm and House Agriculture Committee members for their work in developing the proposal, but stopped short of endorsing it.
She said USDA currently is developing principles related to future food and agriculture policy that meet the objectives outlined by the President. Those include ensuring a strong income safety net, pursuing a more market-oriented U.S. farm policy and opening up new trade opportunities abroad.
"This is an important beginning and a serious response to the needs of our nation, its farmers and ranchers and citizens," she said. "We expect to release our principles in the near future and look forward to working together with Chairman Combest and the Committee, as well as the Senate Agriculture Committee, as we address these important issues."
The concept paper said producers may retain their current program crop base or update their acreage base by using the average acres planted to an AMTA contract crop or oilseed for the crop years 1998 through 2001. Payment acres for both the AMTA and counter-cyclical programs would remain at 85 percent of base acres.
Farmers would continue to use their current AMTA payment yields. For oilseeds and farms without current AMTA payments yields, the secretary of agriculture would be directed to develop payment yields that are comparable to current AMTA yields in the area.
Payment limits would be maintained at $40,000 per person for AMTA payments and $75,000 per person for loan deficiency payments and marketing loan gains for all crops. Farmers would receive a new limit of $75,000 per person on counter-cyclical payments. Generic commodity certificates would still be available.
The plan also includes the planting flexibility that most farm organizations said their members wanted to keep from the 1996 farm bill. Farmers could continue to plant most crops — except for fruits and vegetables — and remain eligible for farm program benefits.
All told, the committee plan calls for spending $48.886 billion over the next 10 years for the program crops. For other crops, the committee paper would:
Eliminate the marketing assessment on sugar. The result would be a cost of $440 million over 10 years.
Plan to spend $3.4 billion over 10 years to allow for development of a peanut program reform "before reporting of a farm bill."
Extend the milk price support program at $9.90 per hundredweight. Cost $773 million over 10 years.
Reinstate a nonrecourse loan program for wool and mohair at a projected cost of $164 million over 10 years.
Although fruit and vegetable producer organizations have been calling for direct payments for their crops, the concept paper only gives the agriculture secretary authority to decide to combat outbreaks of plant and animal diseases with emergency funds. It also retains planting restrictions on fruits and vegetables on base acres.
The concept paper indicates the committee would make a number of changes in conservation programs, providing $15.05 billion over 10 years or a 75 percent increase over baseline spending.
It would also allocate $900 million over 10 years for the Market Access Program, which provides funding for overseas promotion of U.S. agricultural commodities. It earmarks $100 million to increase transportation funds to allow for additional food aid
Total spending for the draft paper would be $73.498 billion over the next 10 years or all but $2 million of the $73.5 billion in the budget resolution for fiscal years 2002 –2011 passed by the House last spring.
Most commodity groups said they were pleased with the concept paper.
"The House Committee has presented a bipartisan proposal on new farm policy that enhances support for producers, improves export assistance programs, strengthens and enhances important conservation programs and is sensitive to budget concerns, said James Echols, National Cotton Council chairman.
"This is a significant accomplishment. Chairman Combest and Mr. Stenholm have demonstrated strong leadership by presenting this concept for response. We applaud this bipartisan effort to complete a new farm bill in a timely fashion. In many respects, this concept paper follows a blueprint outlined by the Council in testimony before the House Agriculture Committee, including the establishment of a new counter cyclical program for cotton and other commodities."
But, National Farmers Union President Leland Swenson said the plan needs "significant modifications.
"We are pleased that most members of the House Agriculture Committee, including Chairman Combest and Ranking Member Stenholm, see the urgency of drafting a new farm law," he said. "We are disappointed, though, that this current proposal does not raise market prices, nor does it provide greater equity among program crops or reduce the production distortions of Freedom to Farm. With a few exceptions, their proposal is much like the current policy that has not served our nation's family farmers and ranchers."

Gus Arriola, best known for the comic strip Gordo, has died at the age of 90. Arriola, like many artists during the Great Depression, spent time in the animation industry as it was one of the few places an artist could earn a steady living.
Arriola started at the Mintz studio as an inbetweener. When MGM started their in-house studio in 1937, Arriola moved over and started working his way up the ladder. He was more interested in the story department than in animating and he first worked on story for Hugh Harman on cartoons like The Lonesome Stranger (1940) and Abdul the Bulbul Ameer (1941). In addition to story sketches, Arriola also did character designs. Moving over to the Rudy Ising unit, Arriola worked on Dance of the Weed (1941), Bats in the Belfry (1942), and The First Swallow (1942).
In 1941, he sold Gordo as a comic strip and continued it until 1985. Gordo was notable for its Mexican locale and Arriola's interest in promoting Mexican culture. He was an excellent designer whose daily strips were crisply drawn with judiciously placed black areas. The Gordo Sunday strips showed off Arriola's flair for colour.
In 2000, Robert C. Harvey and Gus Arriola collaborated on Accidental Ambassador Gordo, a generously illustrated biography of Arriola.

Double Amputee Paralympian Oscar Pistorius Charged with Killing Girlfriend
Paralympian Oscar Pistorius, who became famous after becoming the first double amputee to compete in the Olympics, has been charged today with murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day (February 14) in South Africa.
The 26-year-old runner is accused of shooting his 30-year-old aspiring model and law graduate student girlfriend at his home in a luxury apartment complex, according to the New York Times.
A court date for bail has been set for tomorrow.
Oscar won two gold medals and one silver medal at last year's Paralympic Games in London.
Our thoughts go out to all those affected by this horrible tragedy.

Lester to represent Red Sox at All-Star Game
BOSTON -- When John Farrell manages the American League All-Star team on July 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis, he will have his ace along for the ride.
Jon Lester, who has been dominant and durable for the Red Sox this season, was selected by Farrell as one of the AL All-Stars when the selections were revealed on Sunday.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- When John Farrell manages the American League All-Star team on July 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis, he will have his ace along for the ride.
Jon Lester, who has been dominant and durable for the Red Sox this season, was selected by Farrell as one of the AL All-Stars when the selections were revealed on Sunday.View Full Game Coverage
Though this is the third All-Star selection of Lester's career, he again relishes the opportunity.
"I'm obviously honored," Lester said. "It's a big honor to represent the Red Sox and get to go to the All-Star Game and get to play a game with a lot of the great players in the game, and I'm fortunate enough to be a part of it."
For now, Lester is Boston's lone All-Star. However, closer Koji Uehara is expected to be added to the team as a replacement later in the week.
"Koji Uehara is a candidate, the next up, in the event that a Sunday starter does not elect to pitch in the All-Star Game," Farrell said.
While Boston has struggled to score runs for most of the season, Lester has been effective in nearly all of his starts, continuing the form he used last October to help lead the Red Sox to the World Series championship.
Lester is in the midst of his hottest stretch of the season. Over his last two starts, the lefty hasn't allowed an earned run over 18 innings of work. If you're looking for a larger sample size, consider that Lester is 3-0 with a 0.96 ERA over his last five starts.
Uehara, who was a Final Vote candidate last year but fell short, fired two scoreless innings on Sunday and has a 1.30 ERA.
David Ortiz, a nine-time All-Star and the Most Valuable Player of the 2013 World Series, didn't make the team. Though Farrell had the option of adding his slugger as one of the manager picks, Ortiz indicated that he'd rather rest up over the All-Star break.
Jon Lester, SP
Prior ASGs: 2010-11
ASG stats: 0-0, 0.00 ERA
How he made 2014 AL team: Manager selection
Why he's an All-Star: Lester has gone seven innings or more in 11 of his 18 starts. He has prevailed in matchups against some of the best pitchers in the game, including Chris Sale and Masahiro Tanaka.
DYK?: Lester's six wins in the postseason tie him with Pedro Martinez for the most in Red Sox history.
Quotable: "I think we all as kids dream about it. This is what you want to do as a kid. You watch the All-Star Games, you watch the playoffs on TV. You dream about one day hopefully being in that position."

DailyDirt: Who Has Time To Exercise?
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- The American Heart Association recommends about 30 minutes of aerobic activity for 3-5 days per week AND some muscle-strengthening activity for at least 2 or more days per week. But the AHA also says that something is better than nothing, if several hours of exercise per week sounds ambitious. [url]
- High intensity workouts have gotten a lot of media attention recently -- focusing on "7 minute" regimens and similar programs that try to speed things up a bit. CAUTION: these strenuous exercise programs are not for beginners! [url]
- Don't have time for seven minutes? How about just four minutes? Some researchers are even trying to determine if people can get away with less than four minutes, too. [url]

As geopolitical and financial volatility builds in Eastern Europe, banking analysts at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods warned this week that Citigroup's (NYSE:C) exposure to emerging markets creates a near-term headwind.
Continue Reading Below
While Citi's exposure to individual countries like Ukraine is minimal, KBW said the banking conglomerate's combined exposure to emerging markets is "increasing meaningfully" and any contagion to Poland or Russia would be "meaningful."
"There has been an uptick in volatility in emerging markets and we expect this to weigh on shares of Citigroup on a relative basis given the company's EM exposure," KBW analyst Frederick Cannon wrote in a note to clients on Monday.
The comments come as Ukraine has been thrust into the geopolitical spotlight in recent weeks following the ouster of Ukraine's pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych and the decision by Russia's Vladimir Putin to invade the strategic peninsula of Crimea.
In response to the recent tensions and the threat of sanctions from the West, Russia's stock market tumbled as much as 13% on Monday, wiping out nearly $60 billion in market cap before mounting a rebound on Tuesday. Russia's currency also tumbled to record lows, prompting the country's central bank to sharply hike interest rates.
Earlier this week, Citi disclosed $130 million of net investments in Ukraine, where the bank acknowledged "political changes, civil unrest and military action" have contributed to "significant economic uncertainty and volatility." Citi said substantially all of that investment is hedged, but also listed total third-party assets of about $600 million at a Ukrainian subsidiary.
KBW characterized Citi's exposure to Ukraine as "modest" compared with exposure to other emerging markets.
"Citi continues to closely monitor the political, economic and military situation in Ukraine, and will continue to take actions to mitigate its exposures to potential risk events," the bank said in a filing on Monday.
KBW said it believes the "greater risk" to Citi is contagion to Poland, the bank's largest exposure in Eastern Europe.
Likewise, Citi disclosed $10.3 billion of select assets in Russia at the end of 2013, excluding cash and other assets. KBW said that means Citi's exposure of total assets is "likely higher" than $10.3 billion, but noted details for the company's ZAO Citibank subsidiary were not available.
KBW said that while a Russian default like in 1998 is not likely, such an event would cause "material" potential losses for Citi. Economic sanctions could also cause elevated credit losses, lower revenue or even a loss of Citi's banking license, the firm said.
"Even without contagion, increased EM volatility creates an overhang on shares of Citigroup that will likely remain for the near-term," Cannon wrote.
Shares of New York-based Citi rallied 1.93% to $48.53 Tuesday morning, trimming their 2014 losses to 6.8%. The gains come as U.S. and global markets bounce back amid easing tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Earlier this year, investors focused on Citi's exposure to Argentina, which was taking the brunt of emerging market turmoil. Citi listed $4.2 billion of assets and $749 million in equity in its Argentine subsidiary as of the third quarter of 2013.
Citi recently revealed $400 million of fraud at a Mexican subsidiary and also said it received subpoenas from U.S. authorities probing the bank's anti-money laundering controls.

Heirloom Breeds & Seeds:
Farmer Val Thursday
Off the Farm
We descended upon Thompson Finch Farm like we had never left the farm before. The bad kids in the back, we giggled, whispered and expressed our joy to be on another farm and not hoeing, planting, or laying black plastic. We observed weeds in raspberries, watched explanations of machinery used in strawberry transplanting and weeding, and laughed at garlic scapes dangling from a particularly crunchy girl's hair.We realized the importance of having the right equipment for getting the job done.
The seven am wake-ups have begun this week, the mornings seem to stretch as if they are an entire day or days unto themselves. Harvests are in the mornings so that no leaves lose their crunch or roots their luster and so with our coffee we have kale and radishes and turnips, dunking and cleaning and 'processing' with the crust still on our eyes hidden by sunglasses. The afternoons are slightly more merciful unless they bring too much sun to burn our skin and dry the soil complicating planting almost as much as the impossibly rocky fields.
The tomato, tomatillo, cucumber and squash seedlings have loved this moist rainy weather. Laura is grateful for this because there is no irrigation in the other field. We took a chance with that one, but the little seedlings that could have so easily wilted in the harsh sun and silty rocky soil. When unrolling a haybale to mulch the pathways of the many, many tomato rows a litter of very young voles spilled out. They cried and shivered as we attempted to warmly relocate them to the edge of the field. Voles are nearly as cute as baby moles, in my opinion.
It seems as if everyone is settling into their farming personality, you know the one: harried by work and distractions and a personal life yet there getting it done on farm even under adverse conditions. Seeing the organism that is a group of people working together is fascinating to me, and I'm learning how to evaluate the functioning of it and maybe one day I'll be able to influence it in a positive way at the right time...
thou mayest...timshel

Interested in learning more about Honey Girl Organics products and how they are made? Watch this video Kate made with the owner of the company, Anthony, at their production facility in Hawaii.
It is with regret that we are unable to share with you more information about this product. Various EU legislation forbids us (and all other food business operators) from claiming that these products can offer any possible health benefits. Many of our customers already know about these foods, and come back to us time and time again for their favourite items. We ask customers new and old to do your own research, and to trust Raw Living to provide you and your nearest and dearest with the best quality products at the lowest prices.

We own our research, development and production processes from start to finish. This ensures the highest quality every step of the way. Every product is manufactured in small batches so that they are as fresh as possible when they get to your doorstep. Most competitors outsource the manufacturing of their products but we love producing them ourselves, and believe that this process and being able to guarantee their quality is part of the pleasure of creation.

All-Natural, Chemical-Free, Paraben-Free, Gluten-Free, Organic. These are all words suddenly being used on everything from frozen pizzas to toothpaste. Unfortunately, there is very little regulation on what these terms really mean when it comes to skincare products, and there's still a very good chance that "all-natural" products are full of toxic, pore-clogging, carcinogenic chemicals. This may not seem like an issue since we're not eating our face wash and moisturizers, but the reality is that 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our blood-stream!
Our cleansers, toners, moisturizers and even makeup should create balance in our skin, not further irritate it since it is already clogged, irritated, and dried out by the exposure to grime and toxins in our environment. In order to break this cycle and regain our natural glowing complexion, we should only put products on our skin that complement our skin's natural cleansing and moisturizing process, and help it maintain a balanced pH, oil production, and inflammatory response.
*** All our products are USDA Organic Certified (95% organic or more), except from the After Sun Lotion, Facial Scrub and Rejuvenating mask. The After Sun Lotion is 70% organic (Made with Organic Ingredients), the mask and the scrub are both 100% natural.

Honey Girl Organics' organic skin products are nature's own science applied to your skin! The most nutritious and anti-aging properties that organic olive oil and beehive products provide are used without artificial preservatives, additives or fillers to revitalize and enhance skin regeneration.

It is the best organic skin moisturizer because it contains nontoxic healing ingredients that are highly absorbable and utilized by our skin. This best skin moisturizer will provide your skin with nutrition, moisture and ingredients that will help your skin to repair itself.
What Makes Organic Hawaiian Beehive Ingredients So Good For Your Skin? Honey, beeswax, pollen & propolis are great antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.

Our bees forage from vital and wild vegetation. This guarantees the strongest mix of nutrients that nature has to offer, free of pesticides and chemicals.

PHOENIX -- Barry University's baseball team is off to a strong start this spring and has broken into the top-25 rankings for the first time this season.
The Buccaneers are ranked No. 22 in the nation according to Collegiate Baseball after a 15-7, 4-2 SSC start. After losing three of four in Alabama-Huntsville and also dropping a 5-1 game against Division I Miami, Barry has reeled off six consecutive wins including a three-game sweep over Sunshine State Conference foe Saint Leo.
Junior Adrian English has bolstered the middle of the Bucs' lineup and leads the team with a staggering .476 batting average. He also leads the Buccaneers in hits (39), doubles (13), and RBI (29).
Luis Arrizurieta has also proved to be a steady bat for the Bucs and is hitting .371 and has started 20 games, primarily behind the dish.
The emergence of Sheehan Planas-Arteaga who is hitting .471 with 13 RBI in his last ten games has been a big part of the Buccaneers' success as of late and he will certainly play a large role in their success as the season unfolds.
A pair of freshman have also put together strong starts as slick-fielding shortstop J.C. Cardenas and outfielder Mike Diaz are both hitting over the .300 mark 22 games into the spring.
On the mound head coach Marc Pavao and pitching coach Alex Gonzalez have put together a solid staff led by senior Kevin Youst who bolsters a 3.31 ERA and leads the team with 20 K's.
Freshman Billy Atkins has been impressive, pitching like a seasoned veteran thus far. Calvin Rayburn has made the transition to the starting rotation as expected and currently leads the team with a 4-1 record on the mound.
The bullpen has also displayed strong performances and hard-throwers such as Tyler Kinley, Joe Iorio and Tyler Petsch have all contributed to the Bucs hot start in 2013.
A pleasant surprise out of the bullpen has been redshirt freshman Adrian Benitez who has appeared in eight games and carries a 3-0 record with 13 K's in 12.1 innings in relief.
The Bucs face St. Michael's University tonight and Adelphi University on Tuesday. Both games are scheduled for 6 p.m. with live video and live-stats available through the Barry University athletics website, GOBARRYBUCS.COM.
The Bucs return to SSC play this weekend in Lakeland, Fla. in a three game series against Florida Southern University beginning Friday at 7 p.m.

50 years later, Jackie Kennedy's pink suit locked away from view
(CNN) -- Jacqueline Kennedy was still wearing the blood-stained watermelon pink suit when she got to the White House in the early-morning hours after her husband was shot dead.
She had refused to take it off at Parkland Hospital in Dallas or on the flight back to Washington with the body of her husband.
Once at the White House, her personal maid put the suit in a bag so Mrs. Kennedy wouldn't have to look at it.
In the words of President John F. Kennedy, she looked "smashing" in the suit, which may be why the President asked Jackie to wear the now-famous outfit to Dallas on November 22, 1963.
She was known for her fashion sense. Museums have hosted collections of her gowns, hats and jewelry.
In Fort Worth on the morning of November 22, the President even joked about his wife's style.
"Two years ago, I introduced myself in Paris by saying that I was the man who had accompanied Mrs. Kennedy to Paris. I am getting somewhat that same sensation as I travel around Texas. Nobody wonders what Lyndon (Johnson) and I wear," Kennedy quipped.
Hours later, Jackie Kennedy was trying to crawl out of the presidential limo, her suit spattered with her husband's blood.
When aides suggested she change her clothes, she refused.
"Her remark, I think she made it more than once is, 'No, I'm going to leave these clothes on. I want them to see what they have done,' " author Philip Shenon said.
Hours later, Kennedy continued to wear the suit during the emergency swearing in of Johnson as President.
"That whole scene is obviously just surreal," Shenon said. "She arrives in the cabin in Air Force One in these clothes, covered with the President's blood, and she's expected to stand there and witness the swearing in of her husband's successor."
The suit today is in the National Archives building in Maryland.
It came in a box, along with a handwritten note from Jackie Kennedy's mother on her personal stationery. It read simply: "Jackie's suit and bag - worn November 22nd, 1963."
The suit was never cleaned.
The public hasn't seen the suit since the assassination and won't for another 90 years.
In 2003, nine years after her mother's death, Caroline Kennedy gave the suit as a gift to the people of the United States with the understanding that it would not be put on display until 2103.
And even then, the Kennedy family will have to be consulted before any attempt is made to display it. They want to avoid sensationalizing the horrible act.
Also hidden from view in the new archives building in Maryland: the blue blouse Jackie Kennedy wore beneath the pink suit, her stockings, blue shoes and blue purse.
What they don't have is the first lady's iconic pink pillbox hat.
"The hat is a mystery," said Shenon, who wrote "A Cruel and Shocking Act."
"The hat apparently goes to the Secret Service initially and the Secret Service turns it over to Mrs. Kennedy's private secretary, and then it disappears. It has not been seen since."
The archive has the suit stored in a windowless vault, in an acid free container, where the air is changed three times an hour to properly maintain the wool and cloth.
It is kept at a temperature of 65 to 68 degrees, which is best for the fabric.

have some imagination!
Captured troops can be tied to vehicles and missiles, or launched out of catapults. They can be used to clear minefields, shield your troops from enemy fire, or "donate" body parts to minifigs on your team who happen to be missing some. That's just off the top of my head, but I'm sure you can find a million uses for disposable living bodies on a battlefield.
If you captured an enemy, would you really just hold him there waiting for him to escape?

SQL Server 2000 Meta Data Services is a repository technology that stores and manages metadata for SQL Server. Instead of building database schemas over and over, Meta Data Services allows you to freeze an entire schema for use in other projects. You can also use these schemas for training, testing, or debugging. In this article, the authors will review the various components of Meta Data Services and show how it can be programmed using a Visual Basic client, XML, and XSLT. They will also show you how to manage and manipulate your metadata by generating a simple database schema using a SQL Server repository.

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to submit data from a jQuery form to a ASMX webservice? I have gotten everything on the form ready to be submitted to the database and now I am stuck on how to send it over using $.ajax(). Everything I have read tells me how to get data from a webservice and display it with jQuery, but not the other direction nor how to access the json data within the within the webservice service(similar to a Request.Form approach with ASP.NET forms).
In other words:
1. What do I need to do to my webservice to make sure it can receive data from the jQuery form.
2. What do I need to do in jQuery to receive an acknowledgement the save on the server side was successful.
I can explain more if need be, but if there is a comprehensive tutorial on not only reading, but also WRITING data with jQuery, JSON, etc. I would love to get pointed in that direction.
I want to use gridview and bind the data and after i want insert the data in database using jquery,
below the link i got for delete
but i want the sample example for insert row from gridivew and add the database.
I have a table like this in database
ItemNo ItemName Qty
upto it has some 3000 rows in table..
Now what my problem is i have one more field in mydevelopment PC let us consider another column Category
I need to update this column to my client pc without losing 3000 data from table which already exist...
How to do...?
When adding a stored procedure into the Entity Data Model I can select whether the procedure returns a scalar, a (new) complex type or one of the entity types I already defined.
How do I do something similar for a view?
I mean assuming I have a view like this
CREATE VIEW FilteredFoos as SELECT Foo.* FROM Foo join ... WHERE ...
(that is a view that implements some involved filtering, but returns all columns from one table) how do I add it to the project so that I can use the entity set, but get the Foo objects, not some new FilteredFoo objects.
var foos = myDB.FilteredFoos.Include("Bar").ToList();
foreach (Foo foo in foos) { ...
Thanks, Jenda
is it possible to create a custom list in sharepoint designer to enter a vacation request and using a work flow that goes to the HR department. but when the HR department approve the request the HR can store these requested data into another database?
what i mean is, the employee fill a form in to request some vacation days using a custom list in my wss3 site. i assume that these data will be stored in the WSS_content database. now when the HR department get this filled form they have to store the data
of the form in to a database but not in the WSS_Content database.
is this possible?

Hannah Tailford is the first known victim of Jack the Stripper
Jack the stripper was the nickname given to an unknown British serial killer responsible for what came to be known as the London "nude murders" between 1964 and 1965 (also known as the "Hammersmith murders" or "Hammersmith nudes" case). He murdered six — possibly eight —prostitutes, whose nude bodies were discovered around London or dumped in the River Thames.
The victim count is ambiguous because two of the murders attributed to him did not fit his usual pattern. The Strippers first known victim Hannah Tailford, age 30 was found dead on February 2, 1964 near the Hammersmith Bridge. She had been strangled and several of her teeth were missing; her underwear had also been forced down her throat. The killer's final known victim was 27-year old Bridie O'Hara, whose body was discovered on February 16, 1965 behind a shed on the Westpoint Trading Estate. Like the Jack the Ripper killings, the Stripper's reign of terror seemed to cease on its own, and there were few solid clues for police to investigate. Today, the case remains open and unsolved.

Fred Caesar, a special assistant for communications at the Catholic Health Association, is one of numerous journalists personally touched by the life of Walter Cronkite, the CBS newsman who died last week. He sent us his thoughts this week, and we thought they were interesting enough to publish here.
Years prior to working with the Catholic Health Association of the United States, I worked for almost 20 years in TV and radio news. During that span of time I worked for three CBS TV stations (one NBC too): KMOX-TV (now KMOV-TV) in St. Louis, WHP-TV in Harrisburg, Pa., and WGME in Portland, Maine. I was the news director at the latter stations.
In 1980 when working at WHP-TV, Walter Cronkite called me one afternoon to apologize. As news director I had sent him a letter in January 1980 inviting him to record a special commentary to be included in our station's planned program in March to mark the first anniversary of the Three Mile Island accident. Well, in late March of 1980 at around 4 in the afternoon I was told that Walter Cronkite was on the phone.
My first thought was that someone was playing a prank. I picked up the phone and it really was Walter Cronkite calling me about two hours before his evening newscast. He said he had received my January letter and had put it aside but it had been misplaced until recently. He said that was not how he normally handled his correspondence and wanted me to know that he was very sorry for not responding earlier. He asked how the anniversary program was shaping up and said he was sorry it was too late for him to prepare anything. (Here he is about two hours from a major evening newscast of his own asking how our local program was shaping up!) He then asked that I extend his thanks to our news team for their work in contributing information during the last 12 months to the CBS Evening News about events at Three Mile Island. I recall saying something about that I wished him all the best and thanked him for the call.
This truly showed what a great man he was. He didn't have to call me, and could have just sent a note. I was honored. But there is more.
Back in St. Louis in the early 1970s, KMOX-TV was moving to new studios in St. Louis and was discarding files at the time. In a stack of things to be pitched were a few promotional photos of Walter Cronkite at his anchor desk from the 1960s. Well, I pulled a few of the photos from the stack and put them in my memorabilia box. In 1986, when working at WGME-TV in Portland, Walter Cronkite was doing a book-signing event in southern Maine one afternoon. He had just co-wrote the book "North by Northeast." I prepared a brief note to accompany one of my old promotional photos and put in an envelope and then asked our reporter covering the event to see if Walter Cronkite would sign the photo. He did. For years I have had the signed photo hanging on my wall in my office. I have used it as an inspiration and to recall good memories.

The expansion of Dry Wash Reservoir is coming closer to becoming a reality according to reports at the July 6 meeting of the Blanding City Council.
The project is expected to be awarded to Harward & Rees Construction of Loa, UT, as they were the low bidders on the project.
City officials report that the expansion is waiting on the final environmental impact review. The review completion date is projected to be July 25.
City officials hope that the project can get underway as soon as possible after that time.
Dry Wash Reservoir, located north of Blanding, was drained this year so work on the project could begin. It is estimated that the project will take 180 workdays to complete.
If the expansion isn't done before an expected winter break, then another year will go need to pass without runoff collected in Dry Wash Reservoir.
Some council members expressed frustration with the impact of the environmental study on the timeliness of the expansion.
The city also received a report on the Fourth of July celebration in Blanding.
The council is grateful to Robert and Relva Bowring, for their leadership role in the celebration.
Bowring and the council report the success is due largely to delegation within the committee.
They report that the whole community contributing really made things run smoothly. The city hopes for volunteers to return, as well as more volunteers in the future.
The Blanding Wellness Center was popular during the July 4 weekend, and the report is that revenue is up.
The Wellness Center may offer weekly passes in the future, as many visiting during the week of the celebration wanted to visit multiple times while not having to buy a monthly pass. This proposal may also increase revenue at the center.

Katie's #CBR4 Review #37: Flight From Berlin by David John
Title: Flight From Berlin
Author: David John
Source: from publisher for a TLC Book Tour
Rating: ★★★☆☆
Review Summary: An exciting story of escape from Nazi Germany, made more interesting and believable by the author's inclusion of real people and events.
Starting during the 1936 Berlin Olympics and taking place just pre-WWII, Flight From Berlin is a fascinating look at a pivotal time period as the world decides how to react to Nazi Germany. Almost by chance, an English reporter and a beautiful American athlete-turned-reporter receive information which could effect the outcome of that decision. They also become personally involved with a Jewish family who they hope to help escape.

Tailors Mark has recently formulated a business and marketing strategy and the need has arisen to lock down a suitable brand strategy. A logo / brand mark is to be developed immediately that will essentially form the basis for all marketing materials.
The logo / brand mark will be the overarching element that defines the brand values and all other creative branding material will flow on from this. This includes the website design / look and feel, brochures, packaging, flyers etc. At present no branding exists.
The logo / brand mark should ultimately convey messages along the lines of:
– Vogue/Chic
– Trendy/Cutting Edge
– Professional
– Quality/Luxury
– Elegance
– Trust
– Pride
– Modern – We want to be heard by 20-35 year olds.
At this stage no design examples have been selected.
It would be good if we could formulate a brand that has a clearly identifiable logo that we can put on the shirts and polo's (i.e. Lacoste, Jack Wills, Ralph Lauren). Some sort of "mark" that is easily identifiable with the brand.
Another thought was the use of a 'candy stripe' effect on the logo/color scheme so that the brand can be identified by both the logo and the 'candy stripe. However, this is left at the discretion of the designer.
