The piece is presented as a limited edition fine art print numbering only 30 and is framed in a Nielson Alpha black polished metal frame.
Other editions are available.
Conceptual visions using a variety of mediums from digital art to photography and abstract painting. Exploring colour and texture to create from.
My work is more from the subconscious no real plan as such but grows from a seed, a single point which looks to create form from chaos.
My photography is an exploration of shape and light I look for reflection, contrast and work mostly in black & white.
Abstract painting is my expression a dance on canvas.
Digital is what I am known for drawing from anime and concept art in my early days, space and cityscapes to textured abstracts which I create today.
I have no one style no one medium but a continuing evolution of art through experimentation.

Grading the Big 12's 2011-12 Season: Bottom HalfPosted by dnspewak on April 5th, 2012
With the 2011-12 campaign now just a memory, it's difficult to actually remember all of the drama and agony the Big 12 experienced during the last five months. Kansas' thrilling loss to Duke in the Maui Invitational seems like ages ago, as does the Jayhawks' first loss to Kentucky at Madison Square Garden. Remember when Missouri and Baylor were only a few of the remaining unbeaten teams in college basketball? Or when Texas found a way to lose game after game in the most heartbreaking fashion? These memories are hard to digest, but you'll probably never forget the Border War drama between Kansas and Missouri, nor will you forget Iowa State's rise thanks to the brilliant play of Royce White. The Big 12 kept playing until the final game of the 2011-12 season, ending with Kansas' loss to Kentucky in the title game on Monday. And with the conclusion of this wild campaign, the final grades are in. Kansas earns an A+. Big surprise. Texas A&M earns an F. Big surprise, too, but for different reasons. The other eight teams settled into a grade somewhere between those two extremes.
We'll cover the bottom half of the league today, and the top half tomorrow.
10. Texas Tech (8-23, 1-17)
The Red Raiders get a free pass in Billy Gillispie's first season. Playing almost exclusively with newcomers, Texas Tech had no chance this year. Robert Lewandowski was the only senior on the roster, but not even he could lead this team to any sort of success. Their inexperience was just too much to overcome. The Red Raiders were plagued by turnovers all season and they never got consistent point guard play. Jordan Tolbert emerged as the leading scorer in the frontcourt, and he played the most consistent basketball on the team from November through February. Still, even after a last-place finish, Texas Tech should not worry about the state of this program. Gillispie's success at UTEP and Texas A&M proves he can win in this state, and he'll have almost everybody back next season.
9. Texas A&M (14-18, 4-14)
Sorry, A&M. You fail. Picked in the pre-season to win the Big 12, the Aggies suffered through a nightmare year, though there are extenuating circumstances to consider here. Coach Billy Kennedy learned of a Parkinson's diagnosis in the fall, which kept him sidelined for fall practice and away from his team during critical teaching moments. As a first-year coach, Kennedy never had the chance to establish himself to his new players. Adding to the woes, many of those players missed time themselves with injuries. Star wing Khris Middleton had surgery on his knee in November and sat out part of Big 12 play. Point guard Dash Harris missed a handful of games, too, and his backup Jamal Branch transferred before conference play. Kourtney Roberson played only nine games before his season ended due to injury as well. As the troubles mounted, the losses began to pile up. The Aggies simply could not score because of all the roster turnover and the lack of creators on the offensive end. We thought this team could muscle its way to a Big 12 title by playing with the principles former coach Mark Turgeon instilled, but that never happened. Now, Kennedy must revamp this program and forget about the 2011-12 nightmare.

U.S. President Donald Trump is heading to the United Kingdom later this week, and there's currently a social-media campaign to get rock band Green Day's 2004 song, American Idiot, to the top of the music charts.
The campaign, titled "Get American Idiot to No. 1 for Trump's UK Visit," has been on the go for two weeks in the hopes of getting the song to No. 1 before Trump's arrival on Friday.
A Q&A at the top of the Facebook page aims to address any questions about the campaign. The first three questions read:
A: Because we'd find it hilarious and reckon thousands more will find it hilarious too. If you don't like then great…just don't like it then, but we really couldn't care less. We're doing this anyway
A: Sorry did you say "Idiotic"? That's very shrewd of you. Yes you're correct, we know that, an idiotic campaign for an idiotic man
A: So you're trying to tell us that using this as a peaceful protest against a racist, misogynist, pu**y-grabbing, elitist, healthcare-destroying, climate change-denying, bullshitting, backward, orange s**tgibbon of an excuse for a man is not ok then? Hmmm…righty oh… you do realise when our weak Prime Minister offered him a full state visit there were over 1.8 MILLION signatures against this within days…so we'd say we're in the right here
The campaign asks participants to download American Idiot — at the time of its release, a song rumoured to be about former U.S. President George W. Bush — July 6-13, to push the 14-year-old single to the top of the Official UK Charts.

(As of this writing, the song sits at No. 18, still quite a feat for a song that's over a decade old. It'll take some major purchasing power to get it to No. 1 by Friday.)
The point of the campaign is to feature some type of musical protest against Trump, which has actually happened in the U.K. several times over the years. In 2008, for example, an English DJ sick of singing competition winners dominating the charts launched a campaign to get "Rick-rolling" song Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley to No. 1.
Trump isn't exactly a beloved person in the UK. His YouGov.uk page lists words used to describe him by both his haters and his fans, and they include "annoying," "awful," "rich," "controversial," and perhaps most apropos, "idiotic."

Of course, Brits aren't just going after Trump musically. On Friday, as Trump arrives in the country, protesters plan to march and to fly a blimp depicting Trump as a screaming orange baby over Parliament.
The president will spend Thursday night at U.S. Ambassador Robert "Woody" Johnson's London residence but will otherwise steer clear of the city.

Johnson told reporters on a conference call Friday that the president's itinerary was not designed to keep him away from protesters. He said Trump appreciates free speech, which is seen as one of the shared values that bind Britain and the United States.
"The president is not avoiding anything," the ambassador said. "The president is merely trying to get as impactful a trip as he can get in a 24-hour period."
He said the highlight will be the chance for the president and first lady to meet the queen.
READ MORE: Donald Trump could meet Queen Elizabeth next month, U.S. diplomat says
Trump and his wife Melania plan to spend the weekend privately in Scotland, where the president owns two golf courses, before traveling to Helsinki, Finland, for a July 16 summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump's trip is classed as an official visit, rather than the full-scale state visit, hosted by the queen, for which May invited Trump soon after his January 2017 inauguration. London and Washington say the state visit is still due to happen at some point.

Oct. 8 Buck Showalter postgame interview
Q. I know this is going to be a piercing look into the obvious, but how important was it to get out of here 1‑1 instead of 0‑2?
BUCK SHOWALTER: Well, you know, the math is you've got to win three or lose three, so I think ‑‑ you know what I'd be talking about if we weren't able to win. It's one win closer to winning three. We got through Texas knowing that we had to win 11 games and starting out winning three is hard. We know it's a tough task ahead of us, but you like the mathematics of it after tonight. At least you're one step closer.
But nobody assumed anything one way or the other coming in here. They knew it was going to be a tough task, and they're very talented. Pettitte was very good tonight, again, but that was kind of a given going into it.
Q. Can you go through your strategy in the 7th inning, O'Day for A‑Rod, you bring in a guy to walk a lefty‑lefty with Cano and then go after Swisher?
BUCK SHOWALTER: If I let Darren walk Cano, then I don't have an option to counteract a potential pinch‑hit for Swisher because with his numbers off of Matusz, that's a possibility. So I want to have the ability to either have Brian face Swisher or have a counteract if he brings somebody off the bench. If I let Darren walk him then I don't have that option.
Q. Just the idea of walking ‑‑
BUCK SHOWALTER: Cano?
Q. Yeah.
BUCK SHOWALTER: Well, he's one of the hottest hitters in baseball. That seems like every week. No disrespect to anybody hitting behind him, but it's just a chance we took. 90 percent of it had to do with the confidence I had in our players. The way Brian is throwing the ball, he would have presented himself well regardless of who he was facing.
Chen was the key to that ballgame. We had some big outs late, but Chen ‑‑ of course Jimmy coming in, Jimmy was really ‑‑ he was on his game tonight.
Q. Could I ask you your strategy in keeping Chen in the game in the 7th rather than going to the bullpen right there?
BUCK SHOWALTER: I thought he had pitched real well. They should have scored the first ball. He had a hit, that's a hit, and Mark doesn't have a play anywhere. So he had two infield hits off of thumbs and another one back to Chen, so I liked the idea. I think he was 0‑for‑6 or something coming into the game against Wei‑Yin and I wanted to take him through there. I knew I wasn't going to let him face Rodriguez. But also I don't want to bring Ibañez off the bench. If I bring in a right‑handed pitcher, that's why we let Brian face Nuñez, too. We want to keep Ibañez on the bench if we can, and Chen allows us to do that, as did Matusz.
Q. Going into New York, this year you've played in three series, you've won three all series in New York. Does that play here at all as far as confidence in the clubhouse and guys being more comfortable going there than maybe if the situation was reversed?
BUCK SHOWALTER: Well, obviously the way that the schedule is set up, and we can debate that, we've been there ‑‑ just because you've been there, I don't think anybody thinks that that's any preclusion ‑‑ a given on how you're going to play. I think our guys are very realistic and very ‑‑ they understand the tough task ahead of them regardless of what's happened in the past. I think all of that gets thrown out the window when you get to this situation. So I'm just real proud that the guys continue to compete and do it with a lot of let‑it‑fly mentality. There's no back‑off in them at all. We pitched well the last two nights. In order to match up with guys like Sabathia and Pettitte, you're going to have to have outings like we got from ham he will and Chen. Kuroda at times has been as hot as any pitcher in the American League. That's why they have won; their starting pitching, they get what they pay for.
Q. I know they always say about closers after they blow a save or whatever that they've got to get right back on that horse again, and obviously that's what happened. Did you say anything to Johnson last night or today?
BUCK SHOWALTER: No, I would have got the J.J. look if I did, as he looks down at me like he does most people he meets, and he wouldn't insult him like that. The players have to know that a manager doesn't live in a what‑have‑you‑done‑for‑me‑lately world. It's real easy, like I said last night, to trust Jim Johnson. He's done it a few times for us. He hasn't had many ‑‑ it really wasn't a blown save, it was pitching in a tie game in the ninth inning. Regardless if it was or wasn't, Jimmy would have been out there again tonight. He's having a special year, a special year.
Q. Do you think that Chen fully comprehends how important this win tonight was given that there's a language barrier and the fact that he out‑pitched Andy Pettitte?
BUCK SHOWALTER: I didn't think he out‑pitched. I'd say he pitched as well. He had to have it. I'm real proud of Wei‑Yin. All year long you think of all the challenges that have been with him since day one of Spring Training, and I think his teammates have done a great job of making his path easier and making him feel good. Probably one of our best‑conditioned athletes. That's why the five‑man rotation he's been so good with, and we got him at 26 out of Japan before you get a lot of guys at 30, 31 that have had some wear and tear, and he's from Taiwan, not Japan.
Q. For a while you've talked about having a chance to give these fans what you've given them the last couple of nights. Can you just talk about what it's meant to you, your staff and everybody in that clubhouse?
BUCK SHOWALTER: It means a lot. It means a lot to us, and ‑‑ because I know it means a lot to them. I'm not going to say ‑‑ there's not a city in America that loves their baseball team more than this city, and I've seen it on both sides. It's a great feeling for our players to give back the faith that they've had in them this year. We put them through some tough times, and the challenge will be after this season is over keeping that feeling. It's not chemistry, it's Ws. Show me the end game. They like good baseball. They like this team. The city so lot like this team, and I think they share a real kinship with the way our guys approach competition.
Q. I asked you a question in Spring Training about home runs given up. So far the Yankees have hit 245 home runs this year. You've given up 1 in 18 innings. Do you like those odds?
BUCK SHOWALTER: Well, I'm going to come looking for you if they hit about 12 on Wednesday, okay?
Q. How are you doing it?
BUCK SHOWALTER: Pitching well. Pitching well. And if we don't pitch well, the ball will end up where the grass doesn't grow. If a pitcher is on top of his game and the hitter is on top of his game, this time of year pitchers win. That's why people are playing in October is because of their pitching. You can talk about all the other stuff and statistics, but it's the one common denominator of everybody here is that you've pitched pretty consistently, gotten deep in your games with your starters.

Robert Mitchum is an icon, no debate necessary. A stalwart fixture of 50s and 60s Hollywood, Mitchum at the very least left an indelible impression on viewers with his large stature, striking face, and his rich, deep voice. "The Robert Mitchum Film Collection" is a repackaging of 10 previous released Mitchum films owned by Fox and MGM in a handsome, double digpak (be warned as the packaging does place the discs in sleeves prone to minor scuffing). Unlike other collections of previously released efforts, this set doesn't have any particular theme nor represent the actor's best work; it instead gives viewers a look at selections from 14 years of Mitchum's career from 1954 to 1967, highlighting not only the actor's finest on-screen performance, but some otherwise middling genre fare elevated by his presence (as well as some very famous names attached as well).
The collection begins with 1954's River of No Return a rather marginal western from Otto Preminger that pairs up Mitchum with Marilyn Monroe in an unsuccessful but noble in intent performance. Positioned in the middle of Monroe's legendary career, "River of No Return" is very much a shot at Monroe breaking the glamorous typecasting she'd fallen into as Kay, a singer abandoned in the woods by her fiancé, with Matt (Mitchum) as her only chance for survival. The film largely tackles genre clichés admirably, but offers nothing new aside from two large personalities on the big screen.
The set frankly peaks high with Night of the Hunter the directorial debut and only film from esteemed actor Charles Laughton. Beautifully filmed, Laughton weaves a sinister tale built around Mitchum as murderous man-of-God, Reverend Harry Powell, who arrives in a dusty Depression era town in search of $10,000 known only to the children of widow Willa (Shelley Winters), whose late husband shared a prison cell with Powell. Powell's track record as a killer of single women for money is known only to the audience, making his interactions with children John and Pearl equally harrowing and darkly comic as the pure embodiment of evil is foiled by childish purity. Mitchum's chilling and charismatic performance is reason enough to not just see but own this movie, but fortunately the rest of the film delivers a compelling, smart narrative rich in religious metaphor.
Heaven Knows Mr. Allison is largely worth checking out due to not just leads Mitchum and Kerr, but as an offering from director John Huston. The sum of the film's parts are greater than the whole, with the tale of Corporal Allison (Mitchum) and nun Sister Angela (Kerr in an Oscar nominated performance) stranded on an island during World War II. The film in many ways feels like a considerably less antagonistic, romantic version of "Hell in the Pacific" with Mitchum and Kerr carrying the whole film on their shoulders with only the lush cinematography to aid in conveying a tale of love amidst impossible circumstance. On a whole, the film has a few rough patches to prevent it from being truly great, but the script itself is obviously elevated by the direction of Huston and the workmanship of two fine actors.
I'll fully admit, I have an intense love and fascination for submarine movies and The Enemy Below is a damn fine entry in the genre. A competent wartime thriller, Mitchum and Curt Jurgens face off as rival Captains in the Atlantic, with Mitchum's Murrell helming a destroyer engaged with Jurgens' von Stolberg deep below in a U-Boat. The film's influence on later genre entries is evident with von Stolberg's personal conflict with Nazi idealism lending his character a sympathy that is reminiscent of how "Das Boot" portrayed its U-Boat crew as German soldiers doing a job for their country and families, not for the ideological beliefs of a madman. The film's Oscar special effects are still enjoyable and eagle-eyed viewers can catch an un-credited Clint Eastwood.
Next to "Night of the Hunter," Thunder Road is easily one of the most enjoyable films in the set. A true labor of love from Mitchum who sings the title song and co-wrote the film as well as handled lead acting duties, "Thunder Road" is a cult classic in every sense of the word, capturing the breakneck culture of outlaws bootlegging moonshine across the Kentucky-Tennessee border. "Thunder Road" is not high art and flourishes on the enthusiastic performance of Mitchum and a colorful supporting cast including Mitchum's son James as his character, Lucas Doolin's brother Robin (a role originally meant for Elvis). The film's "one more run" theme is a classic of the anti-hero role and Mitchum's combination of physical stature and voice make him a convincing but incredibly appealing character to rally behind.
Like "River of No Return," The Hunters is merely an unremarkable genre piece, this time seeing Mitchum and Robert Wagner as pilots with Mitchum playing Major Sevell, takes with wrangling a wild Lieutenant Pell (Wagner). Set against the backdrop of the Korean War, the film at times feels like a prototype version of "Top Gun" only without the sheer stupidity and poor acting. The film does take a turn from a dogfighting epic that gave it a sense of new lungs, but the only really memorable element are the aerial sequences, with both Mitchum and Wagner sleepwalking at times through their roles.
The Longest Day sees Mitchum as General Norman Cota one of dozens of characters in this legendary, epic-length World War II classic. Frankly, while the film is truly great and holds up on multiple viewings, it doesn't particularly highlight Mitchum's range of talents, relegating him to one effective, but small part of a very large ensemble film. A true who's-who of major actors of the time, "The Longest Day" holds up on its sheer spectacle, cast, and expansive storytelling. Frankly, I doubt we'll ever see a film as "big" as "The Longest Day" ever again; while it's surely been passed by other films in terms of realism and authenticity, it's place in film history is not up for debate and its entertainment value wanes little if at all.
The final three films in the set are, at least for me, the least well known. Man in the Middle is an interesting military courtroom drama directed by Guy Hamilton, most well known for his work on four Bond films. Despite running just over 90-minutes, the film doesn't really make a huge impact with Mitchum's Adams character feeling rather bland and generic and Keenan Wynn's work as accused murderer Winston not quite connecting on an emotional level. The underlying conflict of duty vs. honor is nothing new and there's little any of the actors can do to elevate Hamilton's flat direction.
What a Way to Go finds Mitchum in a partially out-of-place performance playing opposite Shirley MacLaine, Paul Newman, Dick Van Dyke, Gene Kelly, and Dean Martin. Mitchum was reported to have replaced both Frank Sinatra and Gregory Peck and despite the film being an entertaining hybrid of film styles and genuinely funny, Mitchum himself is far from the most memorable element of the film. MacLaine herself was a replacement for the tragically deceased Marilyn Monroe and honestly, it would have been fascinating to see if some of the chemistry from "River of No Return" would have still been there. "What a Way to Go" is an attractive film, but very lightweight, getting by on good spirits and a good cast.
Last but not least, Mitchum gets second billing to Kirk Douglas in The Way West an overwrought at times western epic that features the on-screen debut of Sally Field. The film tries a bit too hard to give an epic feel with Mitchum as Dick Summers a guide seeing Douglas' Taddock along the Oregon Trail. The two-hour runtime is in the limbo of too short to be epic and too long to be a lean, effective drama. Like a few of the other lesser films in the set, the stellar cast, including Richard Widmark as a companion with Taddock's settlers, makes viewers care far more than they should and like many films of the era, it's attractive to view.
"River of No Return" features an incredibly impressive for its time, anamorphic 2.35:1 (cropped or opened up from its 2.55:1 OAR, I can't tell which for sure) transfer. The restored transfer captures the beauty of the film quite nicely holds up against some of the best restoration work of the past few years by Warner.
"Night of the Hunter" feature a 1.33:1 transfer that appears to be an open matte version of the film's 1.66:1 OAR. The image is a huge step down from the recent criterion offering, with noticeable print damage, prevalent but minor digital noise/grain and a few instances of jitter.
"Heaven Knows Mr. Allison" features a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer that does the beauty of a John Huston film justice. The transfer features rich color reproduction, above average detail, and minimal edge enhancement and artifacts.
"The Enemy Below" features a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer captures the rich color palette of the film quite admirably, despite the coloring being a tad too intense at times. Digital noise/grain is evident, but not overly distracting and thankfully, it is otherwise free of artificial defects.
"Thunder Road" features a 1.33:1 original aspect ratio transfer. It's a good looking transfer with solid contrast and noticeable but not overpowering amounts of digital noise/grain.
"The Hunters" features an anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen transfer (a 1.33:1 version is on the other side of the disc) that has intense natural colors and only a few defects that could only be solved with an expensive restoration, namely inherent grain
Infuriatingly, "The Longest Day" is the decade-plus old 2.35:1 NON-ANAMORPHIC transfer. It's incredibly insulting that MGM/Fox has repackaged this inferior disc when an anamorphically enhanced version was released back in 2006 that also sported two great commentary tracks. Not much more needs to be said about a transfer in 2012 that's not even anamorphically enhanced, although it's worth noting the film has very intense contrast levels and noticeable digital/noise grain.
"Man in the Middle" sports a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer with eye-pleasing, balanced contrast levels and a highly detailed print."
"What a Way to Go" features a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer with very hot color reproduction, average detail and noticeable edge-enhancement.
"The Way West" sports a 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer that really only has average at best detail keeping it from being an impressive offering. Coloring is vibrant and natural, while digital tinkering is absent and clarity is notable.
"River of No Return" features a Dolby Digital English 4.0 track that doesn't feel like much improvement over a standard stereo track. A 2.0 French track is included as well as English and Spanish subtitles.
"Night of the Hunter" features an English 2.0 audio track that is relatively balanced, with only a few cases of high-end distortion. A French 2.0 track is included as well as English and French subtitles.
"Heaven Knows Mr. Allison" features an English 2.0 audio track that is clean and has a little more life than one might expect. An English mono track is included as well as French and Spanish mono tracks and English and Spanish subtitles.
"The Enemy Below" features an English 4.0 audio track that once again feels more like a glorified stereo track than anything resembling proper surround sound. French and Spanish mono tracks are included as well as English and Spanish subtitles.
"Thunder Road" sports an English 2.0 audio track that is clean and rich although lacking a desired kick when the film's soundtrack gets going full steam.
"The Hunters" English 4.0 audio track actually does a solid job of adding some surround atmosphere but the lack of a low-end component robs the action scenes of a desired kick. Audio is clean and well balanced across the board. English and Spanish subtitles are included.
"The Longest Day" features a Dolby Digital English 5.0 track that is thankfully, well above the image in terms of technical merit. It's still an ear-pleasing track and much better than the 4.0 tracks Fox has done for other films of the same era. English and Spanish subtitles are included.
"Man in the Middle" features an English 2.0 audio track that is a marked improvement over the also present English mono track. A Spanish mono track is also included.
"What a Way to Go" features an English 2.0 audio track that is perfectly serviceable and preferable to the English mono track also offered.
"The Way West" features an English stereo audio track that has a minor warm feeling to it while remaining clean and clear. An English mono track is included as well as Spanish and French mono tracks.
The extras on "River of No Return" consist of an image gallery, trailer gallery and brief featurette on the restoration of the image.
"Night of the Hunter" features the film's trailer as the lone extra.
A collection of four Movitone newsreels and the film's trailer are the extras provided with "Heaven Knows Mr. Allison."
"The Enemy Below" comes with the film's original theatrical trailer and three vintage Movietone newsreels.
"Thunder Road" features the film's theatrical trailer as the lone extra.
"The Hunters" features a set of trailers for the film as well as footage from the film's premiere.
"The Longest Day" consists of the film's original trailer.
"Man in the Middle" features the film's original trailer and an image gallery.
"What a Way to Go" features two Movitone newsreels and a pair of trailers for the film.
"The Way West" features no extras.
Normally I'm not opposed to collections of repackaged films as long as the theme is acceptable. In the case of "The Robert Mitchum Film Collection" this is nothing more than 10 films that MGM and Fox had the rights to. It's definitely not the best of the actor, despite his best work "Night of the Hunter" and the very personal and very fun "Thunder Road" making there way in the set. Fans wanting Mitchum's other career highlights need to look to Universal for "Cape Fear," Warner for "The Yakuza" and "Angel Face," and finally Criterion for "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" and a truly definitive, superior edition of "Night of the Hunter." Only the underrated "Farewell, My Lovely" remains MIA on DVD. Still, despite some of the other film's being moderately entertaining at best and the inexcusable non-anamorphic copy of "The Longest Day," single copies of "Thunder Road" and "The Way West" are OOP and would cost more on the secondary market than this set costs as a whole. A very mild endorsement. Recommended.

BBVA Compass Stadium is set to open May 12.
"We have always believed that Houston was one of the most important and passionate sports markets in the United States," said Timothy J. Leiweke, President & CEO, AEG. "From day one, our fans have been phenomenal in their support of the Dynamo which in turn has been MLS' best team the past six years. Now, with today's announcement and the brand new BBVA Compass Stadium, we have a partner that not only shares our vision for the stadium but our franchise's commitment to the community. We are grateful to the City, Mayor Parker, and BBVA Compass who are as dedicated and devoted to the Dynamo, to the market, to our fans and to our community as Mr. Anschutz, Gabriel Brener and Oscar De La Hoya."
BBVA Compass Stadium, which will seat 22,000, is the newest addition to Houston's professional sports landscape. This state-of-the-art facility will be home to the Houston Dynamo soccer team and Texas Southern University football. The open-air stadium will also serve as the host venue for concerts, festivals, boxing, high school sports, soccer "friendlies," sports championships, community and special events and more.
"This is great for Houston," said Manolo Sánchez, BBVA Compass president and CEO. "BBVA Compass Stadium will be a major step in revitalizing our urban core. And it will showcase the most popular sport in the world, one that upholds the values of BBVA Compass: teamwork, effort and fair play. We look forward to a long and enduring relationship with the Dynamo and Major League Soccer."
BBVA Compass Stadium becomes Major League Soccer's 14th soccer-specific venue with a naming rights partner. Other venues are BMO Field (Toronto), Saputo Stadium (Montreal), Dick's Sporting Goods Park (Commerce City, Colo.), Gillette Stadium (Foxboro, Mass.), JELD-WEN Field (Portland, Ore.), LIVESTRONG Sporting Park (Kansas City, Kan.), Pizza Hut Park (Frisco, Texas), PPL Park (Chester, Pa.), CenturyLink Field (Seattle, Wash.), Red Bull Arena (Harrison, N.J.), Rio Tinto Stadium (Sandy, Utah), The Home Depot Center (Carson, Calif.) and Toyota Park (Bridgeview, Ill.).
The City of Houston has already benefitted from the stadium's development with 1,500 construction and related jobs. Another 300 jobs will be added once the venue opens in spring of 2012. BBVA Compass Stadium will generate $32 million for the local economy while jumpstarting the revitalization of the area east of downtown, where a new light rail line is already under construction.
The new home of the Dynamo will also be a good for the environment, as this facility promises to be the most recycled and sustainable stadium ever built. In fact, steps have already begun for certification under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) system with the United States Green Building Council to become the "greenest" stadium in Houston and one of the only LEED certified sports venues in Texas.
"I would like to thank BBVA Compass for sharing our vision for the future and our commitment to the community," said Dynamo president of business operations Chris Canetti. "Together we will utilize the stadium as a driving force toward making a positive impact on the city. This announcement, along with the stadium opening and the team's success, is another example of the great excitement surrounding the Dynamo organization. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."
A central component of the Dynamo and BBVA Compass agreement calls for the creation and implementation of a newly developed "Building a Better Houston" campaign. Through this initiative, both organizations have committed to making a difference in the neighborhoods surrounding the new stadium. The campaign will initially focus on four programs carried out one per week in the days leading up to the stadium's opening. These will include programs focused on educating school children, encouraging physical fitness, sustaining the environment, and revitalizing Houston's East End.

Injured Child Will Receive Temporary Home Schooling
The Malcolm X Elementary School kindergartner hit by a truck on Jan. 30 on her way to school in South Berkeley was released from Children's Hospital in Oakland last week and will be home-schooled for at least two weeks starting this past Tuesday, said Berkeley Unified School District spokesperson Mark Coplan.
The 6-year-old was on the north side of Ashby at the intersection with Ellis Street, preparing to cross, when the school bell rang, according to authorities.
The girl, who was walking a little ahead of her brother, looked back and dashed from the sidewalk into the crosswalk, when she was struck by a Toyota 4 Runner making a left turn onto Ashby Avenue.
She later underwent surgery for two hours for a fractured skull and a fractured clavicle.
Doctors spent a good deal of that time performing cosmetic surgery on cuts on her face.
Berkeley police and eyewitnesses described the driver as being "distraught," and he later told investigators that he had not seen the girl come onto the crosswalk while driving.
Officer Andrew Frankel, spokesperson for the Berkeley Police Department, said that investigations had revealed that the little girl, and not the driver, was at fault.
"She did not exercise due care and caution while crossing and just stepped out into the traffic," Frankel said, citing the California Vehicle Code, which states that "no pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close as to constitute an immediate danger." The driver had the right of way, he said.
Coplan said that the girl would be evaluated by a doctor this week to determine how soon she could go back to school.
"She really has to be careful right now," he said. "The district decided that home school would be best for her. It's a part of independent study, something like short-term intervention, where teachers are assigned to work with kids who are just out of the hospital."
Coplan said that the accident had raised some safety issues, including suggestions by community members to have parents stand on either side of the crosswalk, which has been called dangerous by many Malcolm X parents and neighbors.
"It's a good idea, but the question remains who would take liability," he said.
The Malcolm X PTA hosted a forum on Wednesday to discuss traffic safety in light of the tragic accident, which will include speakers such as Farid Javandel, the city's transportation manager, Amy Manta-Ranger, the city's injury prevention program manager, and Susan Silber, education coordinator for Safe Routes to Schools, an international movement designed to increase the number of children biking and walking nationwide.
Cheryl Eccles, Malcolm X PTA president, said that parents hoped to discuss proposed Safe Routes to School applications, the school's traffic-calming program, prevention programs offered by the city and other traffic safety issues.
"Families at Malcolm X and area residents are concerned about the traffic situation at Ellis and Ashby in particular," she said. "A lot of parents and children use that crosswalk to get to school. The accident was deeply disturbing to our community. We want to make sure that nothing like that ever happens again.
Eccles said that finding a solution for that particular intersection would be tricky since Caltrans had jurisdiction over Ashby Avenue while the city was responsible for Ellis Street.
Javandel said that he was still waiting for the Berkeley Police Department's internal review of the incident, following which, he said, the city would evaluate the current traffic conditions at the Ashby and Ellis intersection to see if any steps could be taken to alleviate future risks.
"We will definitely be looking at whether anything physical can be done," he said. "We tend to monitor locations that have a high risk of collisions in the city to understand what the causes may be and how they can be corrected—whether it is poor visibility, overgrown vegetation or the question of painting a crosswalk. One accident alone wouldn't make us install a traffic signal."
Manta-Ranger said that she would inform parents about the different resources as part of the city's Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Project.
"It's important for parents to remember that they can teach safe pedestrian practices to their kids every day," she said. "It could be as simple as stopping at the curb, and looking left and right, and then left again."
Silber, who has worked for Safe Routes to School—which works with six elementary schools in Berkeley and has been at Malcolm X for the last two years—said that she would be discussing engineering options that would make the intersection safer at the meeting.
"It would be excellent if we could have a crossing guard at that intersection but unfortunately there's no funding," she said. "There may be an option of bringing a crossing guard from one of the other intersections near the school to this one. We are also looking at walking school buses for Malcolm X, where kids will be chaperoned by adults who walk them to school."

I'm was wondering if there's a possibility of having a creative writing section? If this has already been brought up, I apologize for reiterating it.
But I know several homeschoolers who do this as part of their schoolwork and I've just been thinking about it a lot lately.
Thanks, horse_rider1990
Creative Writing Section possibly?
We figure you know what you want to talk about better than we do, so why not give us a hand in picking topics?

Hmm, that would sort of overlap with Reading, Writing, Language Arts. For now, post there, and if enough other people express interest in splitting off Creative Writing to a new area, I'll give it some thought.

You Can't Destroy a State from the AirComments
Matt Duss takes on James Fly in this week's installment of Foreign Entanglements:
Yeah, good luck with that. Telling that Fly can't offer any examples of successful regime change through the air, or really very much in terms of what a target set would look like. Excerpt time, wielding James Scott in the service of whacking strategic bombing!
Theories of strategic bombing, conditioned by the belief that the fog of war can be pierced, represent the essence of high modernist thinking. They posit an essentially intelligible target population or organization, and propose a relatively programmatic series of steps for influencing and reorganizing that population. The most sophisticated theories of strategic bombing delineate the social, economic, and organizational impact of the destruction of particular targets. Destroy this police station and criminality will ensue. Destroy worker's homes and industrial production will slow. Destroy this factory and the German economy will collapse for lack of ball bearings. Destroy this communication facility and Saddam Hussein will lose control over his military and security services. Sufficiently damage North Vietnamese industry, and Hanoi will conclude that further war is too expensive. All of these theories presuppose a social system that is both highly legible and highly susceptible to outside influence.
However, the state can only see certain things. Many social structures and human relationships are essentially invisible to the state, beyond the ability of bureaucracies to catalogue and organize. In active and passive ways, these structures resist high modernist efforts in such areas as urban planning, agricultural reform, and social revolution. Experience in the twentieth century, not just in the case of strategic bombing but across the universe of state activity, has demonstrated that states tend to have a vastly over-optimistic sense of both the legibility and malleability of social institutions. In this context, it is hardly surprising that strategic bombing campaigns have failed in particularly destructive ways. Even strategic bombing campaigns that do not depend on deep insight into a target population do demand a very sophisticated understanding of how the enemy thinks about costs and benefits. Strategic bombing campaigns fail because they cannot meet the huge informational demands for success. The campaigns run up against concrete limitations on the reach of the state, and the ability of nations to force the world into their preferred shape.

Well I found this site from browsing electronic musicians site. I saw the free jazz theory and I am in music school right now and struggling with Theory IV which is based on jazz styles so I signed up. Thank you Brian.
Just wanna say thank you to Chuck and NorthernSounds in making this happen. It is great, great, great! I'm learning so much already!
best, Karl
Hello Gary:
God Bless you.
Thanks for such dedication and love and concern for all of us musicians out there.
I really feel at home here. This is my love.
Thanks to Gary's awesome system and the Internet, I will be able to learn even more.
May I stand corrected, I refer to Gary however, it should be Prof. Chuck Israel.
Thanks Chuck for being the Jazz Angel to us all.

2019 Honda Accord vs 2019 Chevrolet Malibu near Bethesda, MD
Top Photo: 2019 Honda Accord Touring in Lunar Silver Metallic shown above.
Bottom Photo: 2019 Chevrolet Malibu shown above with optional equipment.
Have you been doggedly researching which sedan might be best for you? At Herson's Honda, we'd like to do some of the work for you! We're huge fans of the 2019 Honda Accord. It's powerful, roomy, and most importantly, full of programs that help you stay safe. Even when you compare it to another popular car on the market, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu, it finishes with shining colors! If you have any questions after seeing these models compared, feel free to call us at 301-279-8600.
The Accord comes standard with a powertrain that simply blows the Malibu's engine out of the water. A 1.5T 4-cylinder engine provides you with an incredible 192 horsepower and 192 lb.-ft. of torque. In comparison, the Chevy only delivers a measly 160 horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque with its 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder system. The Accord somehow also manages to offer you a superior fuel economy, offering 30/38 MPG city/hwy1 to the Malibu's 29/36 MPG city/hwy1 efficiency. If that's still not enough to win you over, the Accord's optional 2.0T 4-cylinder turbo engine delivers 252 horsepower and 273 lb.-ft. of torque, beating the 250 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque from the Chevrolet's available 2.0L engine.
The 2019 Honda Accord isn't just stronger, but also safer than the Malibu. When you opt to drive Honda's sedan, you'll enjoy a massive number of intelligent systems courtesy of Honda Sensing®. This equips you with superb technologies such as the Collision Mitigation Braking System™2, Traffic Sign Recognition3, Lane Keeping Assist4, and more. All of these use radars, cameras, and sensors to alert you to danger and automatically take action in hazardous situations. It'll feel as if you always have an expert copilot offering you backup. The standard Malibu trim provides you with no active driver-assistance technologies, just a standard rear vision camera, so you'll be fending for yourself. In terms of you and your passengers' safety, there's no question that the Accord is the right option.
More serious concerns aside, the Malibu provides a less accommodating interior than the Accord. For instance, it doesn't come standard with Bluetooth™5 technology or offer Adaptive Cruise Control6, which makes traversing the highway absolutely effortless. The Accord offers both of these convenient systems! Likewise, when you're packing up for a longer drive, you'll only have 15.7 cubic ft. of storage7 in the option from Chevrolet, which might result in you having to leave some important things behind. The Accord manages to provide a superior 16.7 cubic ft. of space7 for you to fit all of your belongings.
Although they might initially seem similar, when you compare Herson Honda's 2019 Honda Accord vs 2019 Chevrolet Malibu near Bethesda, MD, the former emerges victorious.

" Last Monday I called Sport's maintenance department to inquire as to whether they could look at my car, which wouldn't turn on. Eventually, the AAA guy found the issue and started it at my house, but I wanted to be double sure that all was okay. The guy from Sport maintenance was unnecessarily rude and dismissive to me. It was at that point I decided that I had enough of giving Sport my business. This attitude is something I faced from Sport maintenance staff over the years despite my over a decade of using Sport's Service center and buying my 2016 civic at the dealership. I called Herson's and they were helpful and told me to come down to check on my car, even though they were busy. While there I traded in my civic for a CRV. Mike was very helpful; however, I could not endure having to bring in my car for any issues or service to Sport's team any longer. I know my warranties are tied with the dealership, so I chose to go to the dealership with better customer service- Herson's. Tony Houston was my Sales consultant and he was awesome! "
" Great service every time. Go see Rich at Herson's on Rockville Pike! "
" I had a great experience buying a new Honda at Herson's. I've used their service department for several years now, and have always been pleased. When I decided to trade in my old Honda for something newer they were the first dealer I considered, and I was equally pleased with their sales department. I never felt pressured, and the salesman I dealt with was a genuinely good guy who got me the car I wanted at a reasonable price and interest rate. It's nice to walk away from the car-buying process with no regrets and a good feeling about the dealer. I'd definitely buy a car from Herson's again. "
" I called them looking for a Vehicle on line, and they contacted me pretty fast, I also gave them a call very pleasant. I walked in at the new used car at first only by accident. Because I was going to the used vehicle. I had an appointment and my salesperson named Was "Edgar Fuentes" sales consultant. I tell you no Exaggeration that he was a great salesman very polite listen to you and your needs you can be a seemed to be nervous but he very very good, so I say to you look him up, also I can Imagine, if he was polite the other ones should also, I can also tell you that he did not ask me to say anything nice about him, so ask for him and before I Decided to go to Herson's Honda I had already visited 5 other car dealer not to say they were bad, but you feel that they are not just trying to sale you anything just to get paid, I could feel that they car about you the customer, the next Time I purchase another vehicle believe me I will be going back. "
" Looked at cars "
" Chris was absolutely the best. He went above board to handle my issue. I highly recommend him as well as Herson's Honda. "
" My experience at Hersons Honda and with Jeffrey DeLong was very easy, convenient, pleasant and professional. They met my needs at the price I wanted, and I appreciate that very much. Thank you. "
" Wonderful experience at Herson's Honda. We decided to purchase a new car shortly after Christmas. We initially visited a non-Honda dealership and were not impressed with the reception and the process. From the moment we stepped into Herson's Honda, we were warmly welcomed and everything went extremely smoothly from the beginning until the moment we left with our new car. Thomas Bennetts made sure we are happy with our choice and we got an excellent deal on a new Honda Accord. We love our new car and couldn't be happier with the professional treatment we received. "
" The Herson's Honda sales team simply rocks! That was far not the first car I just purchased from them. And they get better and better every time. The time it took to purchase my car (Honda Accord 2020), from the time I entered the dealership to the time I drove my new car away, - 1 hour 15 min. That included selecting the car, negotiating the price, applying for financing, approving financing, signing all paperwork, getting my new car ready for me, walking me through the owner's instructions, walking me to my new car. Unbelievable service!!! Thank you, CJ Tashman, Bryan, Aaron, technicians on the floor. Thank you, Herson's Honda for great business! I will certainly come again. "
" Great customer service!! Justin is very nice and I recommended Shamea if you need to buy a car, she is very nice and friendly. "
" Took in my boss's Honda CRV for scheduled maintenance and pulled into the service lane where a nice gentleman came out immediately, asked a couple of questions and took my keys. Then he walked me to the waiting area which had a (quite good) coffee dispenser and two large boxes of donuts. I found a comfortable private cubicle to rest and watch tv and charge my phone. They came and found me ten minutes before the original allotted time frame. Done and out the door. The reason for 3 stars? It's this thing that happens at every dealer's service dept and Herson's is apparently no different. The lot jockeys whose whole mission is move the car a few feet from the service entrance to a spot, then to a service bay, then to a pick up spot...always manage to screw with things inside the car that there is no need to. They use the radio and in my case, opened the sunroof also. No reason for this and no reason they can't put it back to the way it was when I gave them the car. If you cannot help yourself and must play with my car's controls for the few seconds you are in it, at least put things back to how they were. Turn off the radio, close the sunroof! I mean, seriously? Is this some kind of mental defect in these guys that they MUST play around in all the cars!? You are in the car for roughly 60 seconds! Stop it, please! "
" First it's a great location Everyone was nice since the moment we walked in , kevin Lara was the person in charge of helping us out , he worked with me to find out what was my best option to buy ,the buying process took more time than expected but kevin was so cool about it even though I'm a difficult person by the time of taking decisions he took the proper care and patiences to fulfill my requests. Thank you so much "
" It's so nice to do business with friendly people, people who always want the best for customers, "Jeremy Miller" is the best advisor with whom you can negotiate at Herson's Honda - 15525 Frederick Rd, Rockville, MD 20855 "
" It's always a pleasure doing business with Herson's Honda. It was a very pleasant experience and a Honda is always a great car for many years. "
" Shamea is delightful to work with. After having very bad experience with Toyota dealer, coming here and working with Shamea is such a change. She understands we have little kids and tries to accommodate us. She helps us to look at cars and never hesitate to let us try different options. Esther from finance is also very friendly and professional. Everything goes so smoothly and less stress for us. We brought home a van we love with a very good experience. "
" I was sides swiped a few weeks ago so I took it to the dealership and Erika Diaz helped me with the process she was really helpful made it a lot easier then my pass experience my car was out in no time I will definitely will be going back and recommend this dealership "
" Went last month for an estimate for damage to my rear fender caused by a hit and run I was helped by Erika Diaz she was extremely nice and very helpful through the process my car came out great will return for any other work needs "
" Wonderful experience: professional and pleasant. First-class customer service. Highly recommend. "
" Had a great and smooth experience leasing my second Honda CRV with Ed Rojas, he was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended to deal with him!!! "
" The buy process was easy and painless and got a good deal on a vehicle. I worked with Jeremy who was responsive and helpful but was not pushy at all like other sales people I've dealt with in the past. Jeremy humored me into looking at the vehicle multiple times prior to buying, and I highly recommend him and the dealership. "
" I purchased a car from Herson's this weekend. I worked with Daniel Johnson who was great - professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and very patient with all my questions! The whole sales team, Daniel, Justin, and Stephen were wonderful. I definitely recommend Herson's Honda for a very satisfying car buying experience. "
" I had a great experience at Herson's Honda in Rockville. The sales rep, Jeremy Miller, answered all my questions and was very courteous and patient with me. I purchased my Honda Civic within a couple of hours. "
" Great experience buying our new CRV from the Herson's Honda team. Michael Elhawa was very nice and knowledgeable. Felt like we were working with longtime friends. "
"Satisfied With Herson's Honda and Service"
" I have purchased three Hondas from this dealership since 1988. My first car, from Hersons, was a 1988 Honda Accord. Next, I purchased a 2000 Honda CRV. I loved that car. It had a card table built in to the trunk area. My next purchase (and current vehicle) was a 2015 Honda CRV. I have kept each vehicle over 10 years. I really drive my cars a lot and have driven more than 150,000 miles on each car before trading. I even enjoy taking my car for its scheduled maintenance because everyone is so helpful and easy to work with. "
" Service Team was great. very kind and has great manner. I would recommend this dealer to anyone on my friends and familie. Thanks to you all!! "
" (Translated by Google) 💯 points (Original) 💯 puntos "
" I checked for a minor part ahead of time and confirmed they had it. Stopped by the next day and picked it up. Price was slightly higher than quoted via email but parts department hours were convenient enough. I would patronize again. "
" Percy is an excellent sales person who deserves highest rating. "
" The whole process is very smooth. I bought drove the car home within a few hours. Kevin is great. He explained and set up everything well for me to start driving. Never thought buying a car is so easy!!! "
" I had been a customer here at Herson's Honda since 1996 and I'm still a current customer here. Herson's Honda has always been there for me for all of my car care needs and now today I had purchased another Honda as an addition to my other Honda's that were purchased at this dealership. Daniel Johnson, had made my purchase experience a very pleasant and very courteous and a quite enjoyable as well. He worked very hard to make sure that I am pleased with my selection of vehicle and help along with my purchase decision, I did not felt pressure to buy, is probably what drives me to buy something that I would really enjoy to drive. Daniel is an asset to Herson's Honda success. I think he would do very well. The location of Herson's Honda is very convenient to get in and out of but most importantly, Herson's treat their employee as a valuable asset in turns their employee worked very hard to keep customer happy and keep returning because this is the dealership that keep your car running and on the road for a long time coz they're vested in their customer. I can attest that my 96 accord has 322,000 plus miles and still running strong all from this dealership doing. They kept my car alive. In my opinion this dealership really know their product very well and trained it's employee from repair, maintenance, and right down to sale. Tell you the truth, I never had ever been into any dealership that has repair and sale all as a one stop place. Most dealership that I know from friends and others that I know, it's usually either the service or sale is top notch but never in both of those area. On January 05, 2020; Daniel Johnson has helped Herson's Honda along with his boss Justin and down to the finance dept set the bar for Herson's Honda to be the number #1 Dealership in the DMV area in my opinion. I will definitely tell people about this dealership when comes to repair and or needing a reliable cars like Honda. It's not reliable unless it's Herson's Honda. So thank you so much Herson for being part of my worry free car that I can trust being behind the wheel a signature like Herson's Honda. "
" The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. "
" I recently purchased a Brand New Honda from 'Adam Norton' at Herson's Honda. I found Adam to be honest, knowledgeable and trust worthy. From the moment I walked in the place I was properly greeted, and from there Adam showed me a huge selection of cars that fit my interest, he made my car buying experience simple and fun. Aaron (Finance dept) was also awesome to deal with, he gave me a fantastic rate and overall I am very pleased with my purchase on all levels. I would recommend Adam and Aaron at Herson's Honda to my friends and family. "

Of the many great easter eggs in Torchlight II (I particularly liked the tribute to The Goonies in the first act), many were for other video games—from Borderlands to Minecraft.
I'm not sure how I didn't immediately catch this humorous Skyrim tribute, but I didn't—thanks to TorchlightGGP and the wonders of YouTube, you can too.
The only drag is that it doesn't grant some sort of temporary dragon shout power, and that lovely choir doesn't start to play. Can't have everything, I guess.
