How much do you think passive listening to jazz all day affects our rhythmic vocabulary? I.e. how much just sinks in automatically? Does listening to jazz all day = 15 minutes of actually practicing various rhythmic figures? Does nothing happen unless you are engaged in "active listening?" May be interesting for discussion
Honestly, I have to say--you all are posting threads that I actually find extremely interesting as of recently.
Joe, that's an important question.
I forgot who said it, was it Aimee Noltee (who I almost got a private lesson from, but she didn't want to do it in person...and we lived not to far from each other at the time... I get it)
Anyway, I think she said something like "A lot of my more advanced students want to play fast, so I just tell them to listen to fast players--like Oscar Peterson"
A lot of what we play is informed, in some way, by what we listen to.
I started listening to Wes Montgomery again--how did I take a break from WES!--and I noticed that the rhythms for his comping started showing up in my comping--YEY! I never sat down and transcribed those rhythms, I knew that they hit me in the gut when I listened to him--so they had an effect on me.
Time feel as well. I started listening to Cannonball again--I love Cannonball's time feel! I haven't "formally" transcribed (written it down on manuscript paper or notation software) in years, but listening to him over and over again--I started to embody where he places his accents, dynamics, and note length--all of those contribute to his swinging sound.
Direct rhythmic practice is great--even better if you can practice it on a drum of some sort to embody the sound of the rhythm in your head. Chris'77 likes to talk about audiation with me and a couple of other forumites--I guess we're audi-azy? A lot of this "vocabulary" seems to take root in sonic imagination before it solidly manifests in your playing.
All practice and no listening makes Jack a dull player.
To the point of where I think you can "practice" rhythmic ideas, but if it isn't absorbed through listening to the point of where it's the stuff that "plays in your head" it's not going to happen in the moment, much moreso than "playing the right notes" pitch-wise.
You HAVE to be able to feel it.
Well, there are people who listen to jazz every day for years and have no rhythm. Or weak rhythm.
I think maybe its more important when you growing up, soaking it like a sponge, like kids do?
One thing I figured, when I was playing in a gospel band up in the Bronx, when you move and clap like crazy(on 2 and 4 of course!) to the music every week since you're kid, you prolly bound to develop a good rhythm. So maybe active physical listening is the key?
Ultimately, who knows!

How much rhythm absorbed from passive listening
Personally, I think the results/effects would be short-lived.
When I was a teen and worked on learning how to play blues (B.B., Freddie, Albert; Hubert etc.) I didn't know s**t about which notes to play and where to find them on the fretboard but I kept on playing along with the records and I was listening to that stuff day in and day out. I think that I picked up a lot of rhythm and phrasing by doing just that.
Originally Posted by Hep To The Jive

I'm starting to feel like that about the study of improvisation as well--it's too mathematical.
There's nothing wrong with maths, I'd love to go back to college and take a calculus class (I'd fall on my arse, but it'd be interesting--I love learning, that's why I teach)
But there's something to learning how to dance to music, sway to music, or even walk in time to music. Get the body moving, kinesthetically and all.
People might balk "you CAN'T teach that!"
As a teacher myself (albeit in a different field) I think you CAN
I think it helps to first transcribe some stuff by players who are rhythmic and use space (as opposed to someone like Sonny Stitt where it's mostly strings of eighth notes). I think the difficulty involved, and the concentrated/repeated listening, can improve your ability to hear and feel rhythm.
Some good examples of this are Wes Montgomery and Chet Baker. When I transcribed them I had to listen really hard in places to figure out how to notate the rhythms they used. After that, I found I was much more aware of rhythmic accents and note placement when I was just listening more 'passively' to jazz in general. But I think you still have to focus a bit when listening, maybe it can't be 100% 'passive'.
Certainly these days I find I can imagine lines in my head where the rhythmic component is as strongly heard and 'felt' as the melodic content, and I'm sure this helps me when playing.
When I was a young teenager I listened a lot of fusion in odd time signatures, even though the bands I was playing in at the time were mostly just rock, R&B, etc. So all 4/4 with maybe the odd 6/8.
Now I play lots of music in my band (by myself and others) in odd meters 7, 11, 13 etc. I don't ever recall 'working' on playing in odd meters -I could always just feel it. But I've found that many musicians, even otherwise accomplished ones really struggle with them.
I think the feel of those patterns just sort of got hardwired into my brain from listening to them.
I implore you to listen here:
Not my Speakpipe this time, but it's pertinent none-the-less
By the way, why don't most jazz guitarists talk about stuff like Pete and Adam do? I think most jazz guitarists get too consumed in scales and gear... I'd love to find a podcast of two great jazz guitarists talking about the same stuff Peter and Adam do on the daily.

In order to become eligible for inclusion into this small marching Corps Drumline you had to take rudiment drum lessons from an accomplished high school drummer named Garth. Garth used a method book that we all had to buy and we all had to start from rudiment number one and progress through the book. Once we graduated Garth's rudimental and note reading drum lessons to the point where we were a going into the second book then you could be eligible pass the audition and learn the Drumline material.
I became a member of the drum line and marched for a year or two before we moved away.
Also when I was 10 I started in the school band program playing the trombone and when I was around 12 I took piano lessons.
Prior to this formal childhood music education, at age seven or eight my dad picked up a Gibson L 45 archtop he worked a trade using a nice clock at a secondhand hand store, (today we know them at pawn shops). And we took some guitar lessons from a lady who played a Fender with a Tweed and she wore poodle skirts and she was very 50s looking she was pretty good guitar player but we learned out of the Gibson book at the time which is kind of an adult version of the Mel Bay's beginning books... but the Gibson book got you into chords a lot sooner than the Mel Bay books.
Anyway long story short in the whole point of this soliloquy is that today 50+ later I firmly believe in retrospect that anybody who wants to play music should start with drum rudiments, because learning to play the drum rudiments and understand time and understand Rhythm will never leave you. I have witness many people who had never done this and in many cases their rhythm is just terrible and their time is just as bad. Not everybody, but a good and large enough number that I have come to the conclusion that drum lessons might have been very helpful at that early impressionable age.

Plus, you can pretend that you're Max Roach or Elvin Jones. Since you don't have all the prejudices that experience gave you on the guitar, you can live in that dream of being a great drummer for a minute or two... It's quite fun

You might THINK it's going to make you more astute or aware, but maybe it won't.
If you watch French films all day, will it make you speak with a French accent or speak french convincingly? Maybe. Maybe you just think it will.
If you don't get it on a certain level, listening alone even all day isn't going to do it.
Now going out and attending live music...THAT's a very different story.
That I can believe in.
I think there are limits to the passive listening where you reach the point it has to be instilled physically in some manner. You certainly need to hear it first, because the musical gateway to your mind is the ear.
You can't become a great dancer only by watching a lot of great dancing.
Well, I'll keep this simple... I was listening to Glen Miller and Tommy Dorsey from birth. Literally, because my father was in WWII.
I am 100% convinced that my ability to "swing" and even alot of my phrasing choices, was imbedded in my mind (and heart, and soul) many years before I ever picked up a guitar. I can't play WITHOUT swinging.
Add to that, around 25 years old I decided to jump in with both feet, and now have an enormous big band swing and jump blues collection.
Now, (referencing another current thread), if I could just find me an ES-125....

Listening to WHAT and for what REASON?
How to transfer what we heard into our playing?
How do we incorporate this into our SYSTEM?
Do we have the system?
dad used to blast out Basie Band , Sinatra , Ella , Dina Washington and four freshman records when i was little
i was lucky with all that , it gets into your bones ...

Basie mr Atomic album ...
a mammoth tap dancing in spats
also concert by the sea Garner
teach me tonight ... indeed ....
There have been a couple of mentions of the fact that some people can listen to great music all their life and somehow not get a sense of rhythm from it. I think this is interesting.
There is certainly a degree to which things are more easily heard when you know how to PLAY them at a basic level. This is probably more easily understood in terms of melody and harmony , but I'm sure there are rhythmic implications as well.
For me, basic subdivision work in PLAYING tightened up my ears more then any amount of listening. Players like Wes Montgomery and ALL singers, specially Billie holiday and Louis Armstrong etc, have made a lot more sense since I really worked quarter note triplets and eighth note triplets and subdivisions beyond. If you come up in western popular music in the generation I did , it's really easy to miss basic subdivision based in 3's, but it's very fundamental to jazz rhythm, feel, and phrasing.

Shitty listeners.
If you cant hear it in your head first, itll NEVER HAPPEN.
Technique is important so you can pull off what you hear, but if you're practicing rhythmic figures, you need to practice more listening.
Asshole post done.

We spoke on another thread about the nature of learning rhythm. Pauln said something really interesting to that effect. I'll let him chime in so I don't misquote him
You can teach babies to play with more rhythmic confidence and clarity than adults. Why? the methods change. For babies, it's all about imitation. When we get older, all of a sudden it's all about "calculating" everything in music. However, when you mathematically calculate rhythms before you can hear them--you end up playing with rhythmic ambiguity. Rhythms become stiff and "janky" because you end up internalizing the wrong "feel" of the rhythm.
Conversely, if we learn from masters of rhythm--master drummers would be great--then we would internalize the proper feel. It's aural, and it's also the intangible "feeling in your gut".

But I thought the question was can passive listening improve your rhythm, just listening. I dont think so. It can inform you, but you still need to try to copy it somehow, either on instrument, or by voice, or clapping etc.
But do an experiment. Instead of playing, substitute it with listening for a month or so, then pick up your guitar and see if you can swing like never before. Report back.
I've done it for almost a month, when work was really heavy.
Did it change how I played thereafter, yes.
My technique suffered a little, but I found that I was listening more to what I played.
Mind you, I was also actively ear training during that time--still do (Hep knows my deal).
And I became more aware of my rhythms. I think I was listening to a lot of Grant Green and Wes at that time--why did I ever stop?
no one said anything about not practicing. I listen all day then go home and practice. The rhythms I hear are going to show up in my practicing, and then in my playing. I play transcribed solos every day. I learn rhythm that way too. What I don't do is sit down and say "okay I'll practice rhythm for half an hour now."
No I won't stop practicing and I won't listen to polka for a month. That's what makes it an interesting question; because no one will do that.
edit: never mind apparently Irez did it haha
It was a REALLY difficult month, I had to leave a teaching gig that I loved because of extenuating circumstances...
Playing took a back seat, but listening was always there. My approach (and that of many professionals) is I'm ALWAYS a listener first, and a player second.
Did a jam yesterday with high school horn players in Seattle... yeow can they play (like I said, there's a reason why they've won Essentially Ellington so many times. It's not just that they are good readers--they KNOW how to improvise!) Anyway, they called Minority at a brisk tempo. I could play at that tempo, but I couldn't hear what was going on--so my mindset switched. I became a player first and my listening took a backseat--and I fell flat on my face. Guess what's next in the shed? Hearing Minority as clearly as possible (I think it's essentially a minor blues, but when you are just reading a chart and nervous because people half your age are kicking your arse...you kinda miss those things) For me, at least, my ears have to be in the drivers seat at all times.
I'm friends with a bassist who studied with Mike Longo back in the day. Chris'77, remember Mike Longo? I think I wanna get back into those time studies with the bass player.

Like they say, if you don't have the technique to execute it, it's not very practical and just talk.
I agree that if you can't hear/feel it in your head/mind FIRST, you will never play it.

That's been my experience on all levels of music as well as many other pursuits one life. I don't understand the idea that it's somehow a one-way conduit and that the brain lacks the ability to communicate this information both ways.
I would wager that athletes generally "see" much more than I do... in other athletes , ... I'd say less so from having WATCHED others as much or more than me. Physical/kinesthetic experiences absolutely influence you've ability to perceive them elsewhere.

But whenever I get into ear training stuff on the forum, unless it's on the journal I started, I hear the same refrain "ain't nobody got time for that"
But we have time (myself included) to write lengthy posts ad nauseam about every topic under the sun. Think of what we all could do if we spent that time on our ears, however we all work on ear training (transcribing or elsewise).
It just irks me a little. We're playing music, not running marathons. At the end of the day, it don't mean shite if it doesn't sound good. So, in the end, were concerned with sound. If we can learn to understand sound enough to control it and carve it into the sonic landscapes we wish to express, what's the harm in that.
To quote Arrested Development:
I think I'm outta the long posts game on JGF. I still enjoy participating in it, but writing these long posts are a waste of time. Meh, different strokes for different folks.

A trick question... in my entire life, I have never listened to music passively, always actively.
As a child before playing any instruments I always heard music as intrinsically self revealing.
There are many different levels and methods of listening. I don't think background music does much for my rhythm if I'm focused on something else. But the more I engage while listening the more I feel it contributes to my rhythm. Moving or tapping along with the beat is one level of engagement. Singing, humming or scatting along is another. I've found it can really help to try to tap out syncopated rhythms while listening. For example, try to tap out a bongo beat or samba beat while listening to a swing tune or vice versa, or try tapping out triplets or five beats per measure over a swing tune. There are lots of little games you can make to really engage with the rhythm. I sometimes challenged myself to tap out syncopated rhythms while driving when I had a long daily commute...and no accidents except when another driver rear ended me!

My wife already got rear ended by an Uber driver in Renton, and we weren't even living here yet
Hep, I know. I was just annoyed by the "training your ear is a waste of time" stuff which I see as BS. Everyone is different.
Speaking of athleticism, I found out I can hang at 260bpm playing rhythm changes. It sounds like bs, but I can hang... that's huge for me.
It relates to this thread because at faster tempos, you can reorient yourself so that everything feels slower.
IE don't get intimidated by the bass and drums. Don't get intimidated by the young horn players.
Do stomp your foot every measure, or better--stomp your foot every two measures.
I was playing along to some Barry Greene masterclass--he was warming up with RC's--and I noticed "why does this feel so EASY now".
It wasn't me. It was Barry's comping. His comping made 240 feel like 120, you dig what I'm saying? Okay that's my cap--I'll try to keep to it

All while not actually liking the music they're trying to play. It's so self defeating.
Rhythm has to be felt and internalized. I mean, you can sit down with a guitar and say "I'm gonna practice subdivisions" or you can get a couple clave sticks and play along to Brazilian records...in my mind, there's no QUESTION at all that the second option will teach you more.
I think a lot of folks want to be rhythmically interesting before they're even rhythmically solid.
This is why the Longo stuff intrigues me, even if the idea of 20 white dudes in a room with djembes is not far off from my personal vision of hell. It's all about FEEL from what I've gathered, and that's the important thing.
Reg always says stuff along the lines of "first you have to get your shit together technically" and I think that really applies here...if you're struggling to do something rhythmically nd you CAN sing it, then it's probably a technique hang up.
It's crazy now, at 40, I'm finally beginning to accept where my past laziness technique wise is holding me back. 20 something years of denial. Ih well, I'm planning on keeping at it
I think it's time to for someone to start another thread, since we've definitely derailed this one...
It's an interesting annoyance. Guitar videos on youtube are 90% of the following:
1. theory
2. technique
3. gear
Horn videos, yeah they got that, but they delve deeper into actually playing the music.
I found an alto player who has 5 videos just on bop articulations (Chris'77, you'd love those videos--I'll try to find em again)
Piano players, well--how many times am I gonna post links to the "You'll Hear It" podcast until someone here actually watches them.
I could go on, but I need to follow my cap.
And there's almost no talk (when it comes to electric guitar) about affecting tone by changing technique...its almost all gear/gizmos when it comes to "tone."
I guess it doesn't matter, If I'm stuck at work for 8 hours I'll be listening to good music either way

Press Release
Attorney General Joins the FTC to Remind Alaskans that February 6th Marks National Consumer Protection Week
February 7, 2006
(Anchorage) - This week marks National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) and Alaska Attorney General David Márquez announced today that Alaska is joining in this effort by encouraging consumers to become more educated about consumer fraud.
"Some of the most frequently reported scams in Alaska include various forms of financial fraud and identity theft," said Márquez. "Many financial fraud scams are variations on a theme. The two most important things I urge Alaskans to remember are this: never share personal information with strangers and avoid any offers you see for "free" money. The only "free" money is what the scammers may get from you."
Here are a few scams to avoid:
Advance Fee Scams, part I: Sweepstakes and Lotteries. A consumer may be contacted by regular mail, e-mail, phone, or may see an advertisement in a newspaper, informing the consumer they won a lottery or sweepstakes, or that they qualify for a loan, and all the consumer needs to do to collect the funds is send a sum of money to pay for the taxes or processing fee. The consumer sends the money and never receives the funds. Or worse yet, after the consumer sends the money, the consumer is contacted again and is told that they need to send more money. This can be repeated many times. In the end, no matter how much money is sent, the consumer will never receive the promised funds because it is all a lie and a scam.
Advance Fee Scams, part II: Government grant scams. Some Alaska consumers report receiving phone calls, e-mails, or letters claiming they qualify for a government grant because they have paid taxes on time, or because they have paid bills on time (or some other bogus reason). The amount of the grant can range from $1,000 to in excess of $10,000. In order to claim your money, the scammers ask that you send them a "processing fee," "application fee," tax, or other fee to claim the money. Once you send the money, you will never hear from the scammer again, unless they want even more money from you. This is a scam. The government does not randomly select people to receive government grants who have paid taxes or bills. In some cases, the scammer will even send you a cashier's check, claiming this will cover the application fee, and ask you to deposit the check and wire transfer the money back to them. The check is fake, and once you wire transfer the money, you can never get it back.
Counterfeit cashier's check. A consumer might receive a cashier's check as the result of some kind of transaction. It may be the sale of an item, as part of a lottery scam, as up-front payment for a service, part of the government grant described above, or other scam. The consumer is then asked to deposit the check and wire transfer the funds (or excess funds) back to the scammer. Of course, the cashier's check is counterfeit, and if the consumer wired money before the bank cleared the check, then the consumer is on the hook for the funds. These cashier's checks look very real, and even use the name and address of legitimate business and banks on them. But they are fake. Never assume the validity of a cashier's check until your bank has had plenty of time (usually several days) to verify its authenticity.
Phishing scams. A phishing scam occurs when you receive an e-mail or phone call telling you that an account you have (or even an account you never heard of) has some kind of problem that requires you to verify your personal information. None of these e-mails are legitimate. Your bank and other creditors know everything about you they need to know. If you have questions about your accounts, call the number on your bank or credit card statements (not the number on the phony e-mail!). Some of these e-mails look very authentic, and it is difficult to distinguish them from the real deal. But rest assured, your bank and other financial service providers never send out these kinds of requests, and you should never provide any personal information in response to these requests. Once you do, identity thieves can use the information to transact business in your name.
Here are some tips that will keep you out of trouble most of the time:
- Never use a wire transfer as a form of payment for any transaction. Sending money via a wire transfer is like sending cash. You cannot trace it, and cannot get a refund. The overwhelming majority of transactions that require wire transfers are scams.
- Be extremely cautions when dealing with sellers or buyers located in other countries. You will never locate a person in another country if you have a problem, and it is very difficult to prosecute scammers in foreign countries.
- You have not won the lottery. No one will ever give you a big chunk of cash for helping them transfer money to the U.S., and that cashier's check you got in the mail is a counterfeit.
- Never give personal information to anyone you do not know and trust, and never respond to an e-mail or phone call asking for this information. DO not respond to callers claiming to be government officials who need your information.
- You will never have to pay a penny to receive something you won. If you are asked to pay any kind of fee to receive a prize, it's a scam.
- If it's too good to be true, it is. Always. You are not the exception. NCPW is sponsored by the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Postal Service.

Actually, we may or may not be having this tonight. See, it's business as usual here at the Shugary house. Between homework, sports and carpools, exercise (haha, just making sure you're paying attention), and dishes we will hopefully have time to enjoy this beautiful chocolate tart.
The crust is very rich, with chocolate and hazelnutes. Then you top it with a creamy, nutella mousse and drizzle with chocolate ganache. So indulgent.
Enjoy! And tell each other I love you. With chocolate. And nutella. And lovey dovey gushy stuff.
Chocolate Hazelnut Tart with Chocolate Mousse
For the Crust:
- 5 Tbsp hazelnuts, skinless
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup flour
- 6 Tbsp butter, softened
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
For the Mousse:
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2/3 cup sugar
For the Ganache:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 6 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- For the crust, pulse hazelnuts in food processor with sugar until finely ground. Add flour, cocoa and salt. Pulse in the butter, until soft dough forms (crumbly). Press into buttered 9inch springform pan, bottom only. Poke with fork all over and bake in a 375 degree oven for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely.
- For the filling, pour cold water in small saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin, allow to bloom (absorb water) for 2 minutes. Heat saucepan on low and whisk gelatin water for several minutes until completely absorbed and dissolved. Remove from heat.
- In mixing bowl, beat gelatin mixture with Nutella and mascarpone cheese. Set aside.
- In mixing bowl, beat whipped cream with cocoa and sugar until soft peaks form (several minutes). Fold in nutella mixture. Pour over cooled crust and refrigerate for several hours (or overnight).
- To remove springform pan, use plastic knife and run along edges. Release spring and lift up. Tart should be set up nicely on insert.
- When ready to serve, place heavy cream and chocolate in small saucepan. Heat on medium-low and stir until smooth. Drizzle over slices of tart. Enjoy!

With five number one singles, 14 Top 40 hits, and four number one albums, the Eagles were among the most successful recording artists of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of those albums -- Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) and Hotel California -- ranked among the ten best-selling albums ever, and the popularity of 2007's Long Road Out of Eden proved the Eagles' staying power in the new millennium. Though most of its members came from outside California, the group was closely identified with a country- and folk-tinged sound that initially found favor in Los Angeles ... Read more

Formal Arrangement: Designed for entertaining and little tete a tetes, this formal living room's oval furniture arrangement keeps the focus inwards. Plus Size Arranging: An extra large sofa can mean plenty of room to stretch out, but it can also engulf a room. The trick is to anchor an oversized piece of furniture against a wall and use other voluminous accessories (a jumbo print or a king sized ottoman) for balance. Cabin Chic: A rustic retreat gets a pop with slipper chairs covered in a tribal ikat. It gives the outdoorsy cabin a feminine spin. Playing Together: Spike the interest level in a neutral room with a few splatters of pattern. The bold designs on these throw pillows might be overwhelming in a larger scale, but in a petite form they add a casual chic vibe. Eclectic Appeal: Two Moroccan poufs set on the floor give a wanderlust feel to this traditional living room and provide extra casual seating for guests. Accent Wall: Swathe one wall in a cheery wallpaper to warm your space. Choose a print that picks up other colors in the room. Office Space: Create a petite home office in your living room that's big on style: Instead of a traditional desk chair (that would look out of place) appoint a living room chair that looks good facing the desk or the rest of the space.
If you could only choose one room in your home to put your heart and soul into designing, the living room would top the list. It's that treasured (and often off-limits) space that sets the tone for your entire decorating style. Seeing Red: The secret to taming a fiery red? Balance it with pops of white. A smattering of dove white wall accents with the white fireplace, chair rail, and coffee table keep the bold color in check. Pattern Play: Trellis, ikats, florals oh my! The trick to mixing patterns is to pick a color theme here, reds, browns, and blues and to use big swaths of solid color (the brown sofa, red chairs, and green ottoman) to anchor the space. Light and Airy: You can pack a lot into your living room even a dining set if you keep furnishings from weighing the space down. Lucite dining chairs, an open weave coffee table, and an unobstructed wall of windows keeps this room from feeling cramped.
Sea of Space: Make your living room a welcome respite for a gang of friends with ample seating and a circular coffee table that's easy to navigate. Easy Elegance: Keep a formal living room from getting too fussy by mixing dramatic accents like these floor to ceiling drapes with everyday classics, like a pair of neutral slipper chairs. Ladylike Charm: Soft, muted colors and sinuous curtains infuse a living room with a little feminine grace. Extended Seating: The right furniture layout, with a quirky accessory added here and there, can broaden a living room to accommodate large groups and big parties. Mix It Up: Throw caution to the wind and mix in a bunch of different patterns for a lively look. Pick complimentary colors to guide you when shopping.

Tropical storm warning on NC coast ahead of Sandy
State of emergency declared in 33 eastern counties
A tropical storm warning has been issued for most of the North Carolina coast as Sandy crawls its way northward.
The warning is in effect from Nags Head and points south. At 5 a.m. ET Saturday, the National Weather Service said Sandy was about 350 miles south-southeast of Charleston, South Carolina. It was a strong tropical storm with winds of 70 mph, down from 75 mph three hours earlier.
View WXII's slideshow of computer models and the projected forecast path.
Gov. Bev Perdue also issued a state of emergency Friday for 33 eastern North Carolina counties. The declaration allows the state to provide more resources to help city and county governments during storm recovery.
Tropical storm-force winds and rain were expected to begin in North Carolina later Friday and could last as late as Tuesday, National Hurricane Center officials said.
Between 4 and 6 inches of rain are expected to fall east of U.S. 17. Coastal counties could see 30-40 mph sustained winds with gusts of up to 60 mph.
Areas as far west as Raleigh could see winds of 15-25 mph with gusts of up to 35 mph.
Rip currents and 18- to 22-foot waves are expected off the Outer Banks between Friday and Tuesday. The storm surge could be 1-5 feet above ground level along the Inner and Outer Banks.
WXII's Stephanie Berzinski and Rob Wu are stationed at the Carolina coast. Stay with WXII 12 News, WXII12.com and WXII 12 Mobile for the latest on Sandy.

I tried to use Linux GUI for Fedora but I did not find it intuitive than that of windows.
Whenever I tried installing any software using rpm file by double clicking file, many times it stuck and when I reinvoke that from terminal it says yum is already locked and some other installation process is already running and I always have to force quit that process.
From OS point of view this seems to be Scheduling problem. (How) can we replace scheduling for Linux x window? Is there any better scheduling available for Fedora linux x window?
Sorry about late response:
=> When I double click rpm package , it does not show up anything even after waiting for two minutes.
=> When I try to invoke that package from command line thinking something wrong with Fedora GUI it throws me a message saying some other process has the lock.
=> When I kill that process using kill command and try to install using command line it starts with no problems.
=> Many times when I don't kill the process after invoking rpm installation package, I start doing some other work, after more than 15 minutes the installation window comes from nowhere asking for root password, after entering which I get window for downloading dependencies ?
Can somebody clarify me how this problem is not related to scheduling ?

It's the final week of 2013, so we're wrapping the year up the way movie people are supposed to wrap the year up: Lists! Friday, we each gave our five worst movies of 2013. Today, we each count down our No. 6-10 best movies of the year, and tomorrow, we finish off with each of our top five.
We'll confess to being overly nerdy about our top 10 lists. In fact, we're so weird about them that we won't even show each other our lists until January 14, the day before the Oscar nominations come out. This is a tradition that has gone on since we were sophomores in high school and will surely continue until one or both of us are dead. So as you read our top 10s—we each only hit Nos. 10-6 today—know that neither one of us will be reading the other's. We think this makes this the first blog post that requires spoilers for the people who wrote it.
For the sake of perspective, here are our past top 10s that have been published online:
Top 10 of the 2000s
All right. Here's Nos. 10-6.
10. Computer Chess, directed by Andrew Bujalski.
Strange, hilarious and curiously moving. Shot in period monochrome (at some points, you'll feel like you need to adjust the tracking), it's a chronicle of a fictional computer chess tournament in the early-to-mid-'80s, in which various computer "geniuses" try to come up with programs to defeat a chess master. At first, you worry that Bujalski—who is known best for his early supposed "mumblecore" films—is just going to make a bunch of Rubik's cube jokes, but once you get past the hideous clothes and mustaches, the film becomes an elegant, mysterious, almost haunting comedy about the early moments of human realization concerning the Pandora's box it opened with technology. It's also an impressively observant character study, with all of these weirdos given their own slices of humanity as they help usher in a world that might just extinguish it. One of the oddest, most rewarding movies you'll see, if you're willing to give it a chance.
9. Gravity, directed by Alfonso Cuaron
I'm still not convinced we need the backstory of Sandra Bullock's Ryan Stone, and the whole last 20 minutes feels a little too Contact New Agey for me. But wow, Grierson's got it right: That first 15 minutes is overwhelming. The rest of the movie holds up too; by Vulture's count, there are 26 deeply terrifying scenes in the film, and even though it's only 90 minutes long, that feels low. You want to admire the technical achievement, except it never feels like a technical achievement. It just feels like you're there. And desperately want to leave.
8. The Wolf of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese
Yes, it's a little redundant at times, and it can be a bit much. But this movie sticks to the ribs. The notion that Scorsese is somehow endorsing the antics of his monstrous main character is absurd; I don't know a single human who would watch this film and think, "Man, this movie just loves that Jordan Belfort!" (I'm sure they exist, though. They're all bankers.) The comparisons to Goodfellas are apt, I think; this isn't as narratively strong, but it has that same kinetic, propulsive immersion, that sense of the highs and the lows, the notion that for some people, this is the only way life could possibly be lived. The joke this time is that Belfort doesn't end up some schnook. Real life doesn't punish him. Why is Scorsese supposed to? Of all the films of 2013, I bet this one will end up growing the most in estimation as the years go along. I, for one, am not getting on the wrong side of history.
7. Upstream Color, directed by Shane Carruth.
Having seen it twice, I still don't quite understand everything that happens, but, as is with the appeal of all of Carruth's movies (Primer), I suspect there's an answer there, if I just look a little harder. The difference between that film and this one, though, is that Upstream Color has a soul to go with all its story puzzles. This is a movie about damaged people trying to fix each other; it's a film, really, about love. It also helps a ton that Carruth has Amy Seimetz, warm-hearted and open, desperate but feeling, as his lead actress; she softens him up as both an actor and a director. It's an optimistic brain-melter for Carruth. He's moving in the right direction. Even if I still don't get the pig farm.(Original review here.)
6. Blue Caprice, directed by Alexandre Moors.
A recreation of the DC Sniper shootings of October 2002, this, bravely, focuses only on the two shooters and their relationship with each other. The shootings themselves are a small part of the narrative, almost the inevitable conclusion to their story. It's cold, clinical and almost mean, this movie: It never strays from its very specific mission, which is to look, unblinkingly, at these two men. It doesn't try to assign them facile motives or give them easy-to-understand backstories. That they are so hard to figure is the ultimately terrifying point. It is a portrait of monsters, but the true horror is that there's nothing special about them at all: They are just mad, and motivated, and capable. (Original review here.)

10. The Unspeakable Act, directed by Dan Sallitt.
A small, unpredictable, unexpectedly moving character study, The Unspeakable Act concerns the awkward coming-of-age of Jackie (Tallie Medel), an insecure teen girl who doesn't think there's anything wrong with the fact that she's desperately in love with her older brother Matthew (Sky Hirschkron). He's aware of his sister's romantic attraction but rebuffs her—although not too much so as to completely discourage her pining. This could be the setup for a calculatedly cringe-inducing black comedy, but writer-director Dan Sallitt goes in a far more interesting direction, delivering a study of one seemingly normal New York family's quiet desperation. The actors all perfectly walk the line between farce and tragedy, especially Medel, whose Jackie is simultaneously one of the strangest, most deadpan characters of the year and also one of the most relatable and heartbreaking.
9. This Is Martin Bonner, directed by Chad Hartigan.
This Is Martin Bonner has the intimacy and precision of a perfectly realized short story. Paul Eenhoorn plays the Australian title character, a middle-aged onetime rocker who found Jesus and now works in Nevada as a spiritual guide and support system for recently released prisoners. His latest charge is Travis (Richmond Arquette), who's less interested in the Lord than in just finding a friend after spending 12 years in jail. One of the hits of Sundance's low-budget, under-the-radar NEXT section—which in past years has been the launching pad for Compliance, Sleepwalk With Me, Bellflower and The Sound of My Voice—this drama has plenty to say about aging, faith and forgiveness. But it's most prominently a film filled with rich, complicated characters that feel as lived-in as the people around you. This Is Martin Bonner barely made a ripple in theaters, but that's almost fitting for a movie about quiet lives that are in danger of slipping through the cracks.
8. At Berkeley, directed by Frederick Wiseman.
For most people, college is one of the fundamental turning points in our lives, a crucial transition between childhood freedom and adult responsibilities. But director Frederick Wiseman's engrossing, observant documentary about the University of California at Berkeley goes one step further, suggesting that all of life can be found on a college campus if we just know where to look. At Berkeley runs four hours to prove his point, sitting in on a multitude of different classes—from poetry to the sciences—to create a stimulating CliffsNotes of ideas and philosophies that don't just shape young minds but also become the intellectual material that defines the course of human history. At the same time, Wiseman also shows us how a university works on a nuts-and-bolts level, pulling back the curtain on administrative meetings where budgets and curriculum are debated and decided. None of this is dry: At Berkeley makes a pretty compelling case that few institutions are as fascinating and electric as a top-flight university. It's almost inspiring enough to make you consider going back for that graduate degree.
7. Stories We Tell, directed by Sarah Polley.
There may soon come a time when we don't think of Sarah Polley as an actress who happens to make the occasional movie. As good as she's been in films as diverse as The Sweet Hereafter, Go and Splice, Polley has really hit her stride as a director, first with the fictional Away From Her and Take This Waltz and now with the documentary Stories We Tell. It's her best work yet, perhaps because it's the most personal: an examination of her relationship with her vivacious, mysterious mother—she died when Polley was just 11—and her quest to uncover the identity of her biological father. Emotional and thoughtful, tough and funny, Stories We Tell is a portrait of Polley's extended family, but it's also a surprisingly universal exploration of the secrets and disappointments that we all carry around with us. And as someone who's seen it twice, I can tell you that knowing the twist doesn't dampen the film's impact. If anything, Stories We Tell grows richer with multiple viewings. (Original review here.)
6. Upstream Color, directed by Shane Carruth.
Nearly a decade has passed since writer-director Shane Carruth's first film, the mind-bending Primer, and for a follow-up he confounded his audience further by producing what is, essentially, a straightforward love story about second chances. Granted, Upstream Color is still draped in mysteries—What is The Sampler doing? What's with the characters' obsession with Thoreau?—but those riddles ultimately seem secondary to Carruth's interest in how people remake themselves after tragedies. Far more visually sophisticated and emotionally complex than Primer, Upstream Color also demonstrates that Carruth has improved exponentially as an actor: He and costar Amy Seimetz have a symbiotic rapport that nonetheless illustrates how scary and strange it is to give your heart to another person.

Could New Evidence Lead To Another Trial For The Menendez Brothers? | Video News [Video]To see the original post and the Video, click here
There has always been a fascination with trying to determine what causes an individual to become a criminal? Of course, a large part of that fascination has to do with the want to reduce crime, and to determine if there is a way to detect and prevent individuals from committing crime. Determining what causes criminality is still not perfectly clear and likewise, there is still debate as to whether crime is caused biologically, environmentally, or socially. Furthermore, the debate is directly correlated to the notion of 'nurture vs nature'. Over time many researchers have presented various theories pertaining to what causes criminal behavior. There are many theories that either support or oppose the concept of crime being biological rather than a learned behavior. We tend to think personally the crime in the urban community comes from having not and being deprived the human rights to equal economic opportunities. other crimes such as involuntary murder, theft, robbery, homicide, carjacking, cyber crimes, child abuse and other sick crimes in most part deserve the justice as the law permits.

When A Place Is Not A Place
The New Directions are heading to nationals in NYC on Glee and a group of girls are comically preparing for the wedding of the decade in Bridesmaids. Popping bubble wrap and hitting green lights in row are amongst 1000 pleasures in life described in Neil Pasricha's The Book of Awesome. Love songs and ballads are penetrating the ears of listeners as British gem, Adele, hits the top on global music charts. Seems like a lot is going on in the entertainment industry, but do we have all the stickers to prove it?
Traditionally, paperbacks in comfy chairs or classic films on the couch while wrapped in blankets accompany rainy days. TV has been a mindless pass time for as long as Bob Barker hosted the Price as Right. Now all the activities that your introverted side associated with have gone online and become social. No need to panic and hide in the closet clutching your weathered collection of Harry Potter, platforms are now available for you to discuss your potion concoctions and Quidditch tactics with other muggles online.
Platforms like GetGlue, Miso and Philo provide viewers with enhanced interaction with their favourite forms of entertainment. This allows networks, publishers and film studios to build relationships with their consumers by rewarding them with stickers or other tangible prizes and encourage further usage. TV studios utilize these platforms to encourage live viewing and consistency as certain episodes unlock other rewards. GetGlue has evolved into the leader of this booming space with users surpassing 1M and check-ins exceeding 12M. Users can check-in through their website or mobile Apps (available on iPhone and Android, sorry BB users!) to identify that they are watching, reading or listening to items. In doing so, users will receive stickers or badges and sometimes be entered to win tangible prices. Furthermore, there is the option for users to comment and like pieces as they would over crumpets at their book club.
As marketers within the entertainment industry, how can we use this to reach our target audience or even just to have one of those nifty stickers? Networks have already launched successful (and somewhat adhesive) campaigns.
CBC's Hockey Night in Canada Gets Glue'd
For Canadians (like myself), hockey is part of the culture and suits worn by Don Cherry had become socially accepted and respected. CBC's Hockey Night in Canada teamed up with GetGlue to make exclusive stickers that are available to users when they check in at games. This campaign was launched during game 7 of Montreal vs. Boston with exclusive sports-related stickers. Now onto the semifinals, let's just hope that Canada comes out strong to make these stickers worth it. Go Canucks!
Although Donald Trump is a leading business magnate, his luscious blond locks don't always allow him to make the right decisions on Apprentice. Seeing as reality shows are something that cannot be missed because of the fear of overhearing the outcome during your commute to work the following day. Miso is allowing viewers to participate during the living viewing, to step in and make the decision for Mr. Trump. Unfortunately, this poll will have no bearing on the results of the show but it does encourage user engagement and allows viewers to interact with each other in real time. So, next time you're watching Dancing with the Stars, log on to Miso and share who you think should move on: Kirstie Alley or the Situation. "None of the above" isn't an option.
You Again, Philo!
Prior to the premiere of the movie, You Again, Philo launched a campaign offering the chance to win a $500 spa package grand prize among smaller prices like memorabilia and free tickets. To be entered in the draw, users had to check in a minimum of 3 different times to shows that aired a You Again commercial. If the user went on to comment "you again" on any of the qualifying shows they would be entered to win the grand prize. Not bad for a lazy Sunday on the couch.
GetGlue and others have broken ground in a whole new space. They have developed a platform that works like Foursquare but the users don't have to leave the comfort of their own home. 'Checking In' is no longer limited to actual places, but virtual ones too. In doing so, GetGlue has reached an entirely new market, formally known as the couch potatoes and bookworms. Going forward, you should remove the tarnished pins from your old canvas rucksack because it's all about stickers now!

Call for Media: briefing on new results from ESA Planck mission
Media representatives are invited to a briefing on new observations of the Milky Way and other galaxies by ESA's Planck mission.
The media briefing is being organised by the Italian space agency, ASI, and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) at the Area della Ricerca CNR, Bologna, Italy on 13 February at 11:00–12:30 CET.
Between 13 and 17 February, scientists from ESA and several European astronomy institutes will present new findings from Planck and other experiments.
Planck's goal is to measure the 'cosmic microwave background radiation', the first light in the Universe left over from a time just 380 000 years after the Big Bang created the cosmos we live in.
From this most accurate map to date of the background radiation we expect to learn a great deal about the birth, early evolution and ultimate fate of the Universe.
Planck was launched in May 2009, and has observed the sky continuously for more than 30 months, more than twice its required life.
One of Planck's instruments will continue to return data for a large part of 2012. Planck's first cosmological results will be released in early 2013.
To build the map of the early Universe, emissions produced by objects much closer to us must first be identified and removed. Removed – but not thrown away.
These foreground emissions originate mainly from our own Galaxy but also from other, more distant ones. They are a scientific treasure trove, allowing astronomers across the world to gain new insights into our Galaxy and the Universe.
The new results presented at the media briefing will include an all-sky map of carbon monoxide emission in the Milky Way, and a map of a mysterious component of our Galaxy referred to as the 'haze'.

A sick Dungannon girl travelling to London for vital surgery and her distressed parents were left stranded at the George Best airport for several hours on Monday after their Aer Lingus flight was cancelled at the last minute.
Dessie Hughes, whose seven year-old daughter Carla suffers from Muscular Dystrophy, criticised the airline for how it treated his family.
Due to fly on the 8.45am flight to London Heathrow for an operation at the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead, the Hughes learned that the flight had been cancelled due to technical difficulties.
"They made no apology or attempt to book us onto another flight, given the importance of our travel arrangements", said Dessie. "We had to be at the hospital by 5pm to be admitted onto the ward. So we had to make several frantic calls to the NHS emergency line and the hospital."
At one point a representative of the airline told them that there would be no Aer Lingus flights that day due to technical difficulties.
"We had to wait for three hours until they finally confirmed that they were putting us on the 1.15pm flight. By this stage, we were all very stressed out."
Carla underwent specialist face reanimation surgery on Thursday morning to help bring back her smile.
The condition has wasted the muscles around her mouth making it difficult for her to form facial expressions. Surgeons removed muscles from her leg and implanted them in her neck.
Doctors say it will take ten to twelve weeks before they will know whether the operation has been successful or not.
A spokesperson for Aer Lingus said: "Aer Lingus made every effort to resolve the technical issue as soon as possible. We did attempt to seek seats with another carrier for the passengers in question, however none were available.
"The family were subsequently accommodated on the next available Aer Lingus flight which was scheduled at 13:15 that day.
"We understand these situations can be stressful for our guests, especially when travelling for medical reasons, and we sincerely apologise for the delay caused to this family's travel plans."

It seemed crazy for Arsène Wenger to keep playing Jack Wilshere, the kid who spent 17 months out injured, the boy who has not stopped chasing and coaxing and creating since he stepped back on to the pitch in October. Rest Wilshere? Who has started nine games in a row? No chance. He has become the heartbeat of Arsenal – the conductor, the driving force, the de facto leader.
Having pushed his team on against Swansea City with a compelling blend of energy and imagination, he capped his performance with an emphatic matchwinner four minutes from the end to earn Arsenal a fourth-round tie at Brighton and Hove Albion. "I'll never hit one like that again in my life," he said, after striking the decisive goal past Michel Vorm.
It was fitting that Wilshere defined the result because he had demonstrated a relish to take charge that stood out a mile. His commitment, his involvement, over recent weeks had convinced Wenger to position him in the role he flourished in throughout the youth teams, with the No10 on his back. He was positioned in the advanced playmaker role and, as he grew into the game, it was something Swansea could not handle. "He was outstanding," observed Wenger. "He played in a different position tonight, a bit higher up. It suits him well." His true position? "I think he is a complete midfielder," Wenger said, a little cautiously.
In fairness to Michael Laudrup's team, who have been so enterprising this season, with six changes to give a few of their key performers a breather it was difficult to sustain their composure as a full-strength Arsenal began to crank up the pressure.
The first half had been even. Swansea were as much of a threat as Arsenal and came close to taking the lead when Kyle Bartley ghosted in to rattle the bar. The temperature was raised in the second half, however, as Swansea suddenly found themselves on the ropes, trying to resist a red and white swarm. Arsenal forced 26 attempts on goal.
They found an interesting balance to their game. With Francis Coquelin and Abou Diaby forming a more robust midfield base, and Olivier Giroud a handful up front even if he blundered in front of goal, Wilshere, with the pace of Theo Walcott and the guile of Santi Cazorla either side of him, pulled the strings with great dynamism.
Swansea's defending was astounding at times, with last-ditch clearances that had Wenger wondering how it was possible for the game to be goalless for so long. Laudrup described his players' efforts as "heroic". Leon Britton and Danny Graham did as much as any authentic defender to clear the decks, Dwight Tiendalli stepped in with an astonishing double interception, and Vorm flung out arms and legs to keep Swansea in it. It was engrossing. The only respite came from Ki Sung-yueng's drive but Wojciech Szczesny kept his wits about him to tip aside the danger. There was some anxiety when Laudrup introduced Michu but this time the Spaniard was unable to make an impact.
Wilshere would deal the devastating blow. After a neat exchange with Giroud the ball sat invitingly. With a swipe of his left foot he powered it past Vorm to send Arsenal into the next round.
It was pertinent to hear Laudrup, who has substantial personal experience of the world of the young prodigy, try to temper his praise of Wilshere with caution. "I think sometimes people are a little too fast, too quick with the big words," he said, urging people to give him time and space to develop into a better player, and arguing it is too early to use the term "world-class".
On matters closer to home Laudrup had no complaints. "In general when you play a game and the opponent, like here in one half, are better than you, they deserve to win," he assessed, before adding that the challenges are coming thick and fast. "We just have to continue. We have a trip back, arrive back at 2am and on Saturday we play Stoke at home. Then we play Wednesday in that game that the whole of Swansea is thinking about, which is the second game of the League Cup semi-final [against Chelsea]."
For Arsenal Wenger suggested that it was more than just the FA Cup at stake. The strength of his cup teams indicates he is feeling the pressure to deliver trophies but the Arsenal manager claimed the urge to respond to a sobering defeat against Manchester City was just as important. He needed his strongest possible team and his strongest player.

The whole notion of retirement planning has shifted
dramatically over the last generation, reflecting a number of significant
changes in American society. It's no longer common to spend an entire career
working for a single company, then retiring at 65 with a gold watch and a
pension to quietly live out your remaining golden years rocking on the porch.
People change jobs more frequently throughout their careers, company
pension plans have largely been replaced by optional 401(k) plans, and many
individuals become entrepreneurs and have to create their own plan. A focus on
healthier lifestyles and better medical care has led to longer life
expectancies, meaning that many people may live several decades in retirement.
Retirement itself is defying definition, especially for Baby Boomers and the generations
that follow. There will be no rocking chairs on the porch for these dynamic,
active and engaged individuals. Instead, they simply plan to "Rock On!"
Some will begin whole new careers in retirement, others will finally start
the business they've
always dreamed of owning, and many will find a new purpose in volunteer work.
Still others will either remain in their jobs full-time well past 65, make a
gradual shift to part-time work, or even take on a consulting role with their
former employers.
With all of these shifts, you still need to consider
the risks you may face in retirement:
Financial planning
experts recommend the amount of money you'll need to have accumulated is
equivalent to 70 percent of your annual salary at the time you retire, for each
year of living in retirement. For example, if you're making $75,000 per year at
age 65, and expect to live another 20 years past that in retirement, you'll
need: $75,000 x .7 x 20 = $1,050,000.

Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
Back to Top
The most effective pre-retirement planning involves getting
an early start, giving the money you invest plenty of time to accumulate and
grow. The insurance products you'll want to round out your portfolio are also
more affordable if you enroll when you're young and healthy. And once you've reached retirement, you'll
also need a plan for drawing on your accumulated assets with the goal to afford the
lifestyle you desire.
It's never too early, and almost never too late,
to start planning for retirement – but the later you start, the more you'll
want professional guidance to help you get the most out of your investments,
and balance risk and reward. Your Financial Consultant has the
experience to help you craft a comprehensive financial plan that will move you
toward pursuing your retirement goals. Schedule an appointment today to come in
and discuss your retirement hopes and dreams – with the objective to make them happen. We
also regularly conduct free seminars on retirement planning – ask your
Financial Consultant about upcoming events.
Bottom line, retirement today is
whatever you choose to make it – especially if you've planned well enough to give yourself the
broadest array of choices. You can learn more about retirement planning goals
by stage of life here.

Bernard Joseph Watkins Sr., a retired Aberdeen Proving Ground engineer, died Nov. 29 at Good Samaritan Hospital. Family members said he suffered a stroke in 2007 but no cause of death has been determined.
He was 59 and lived in Northeast Baltimore.
Born in Baltimore, he was the son of James Clarence Watkins, a Lever Brothers worker, and Elizabeth Clare Watkins, a General Electric cafeteria worker. He was a 1971 graduate of Edmondson High School, where he played varsity football, basketball and lacrosse.
"As a child, he loved to play with marbles. He was the champion of the neighborhood at 1703 W. Fayette St.," said his sister, Victoria Mosley of Ellicott City. "He loved to play basketball and was a fierce competitor who made neighborhood teams drool to have him on their side. He was the image of his father, a leader, caretaker, perfectionist, hard worker and was also modest. You rarely heard him utter an unkind word about anyone."
Mr. Watkins won an athletics scholarship to the University of Maryland, College Park, where he spent two years. Family members said he decided to concentrate on his studies instead of sports and earned a degree in mathematics from Morgan State University, where he also played lacrosse.
He became a field engineer for the U.S. Army Material Systems Analysis Activity division at Aberdeen Proving Ground and worked there for 28 years. During his tenure, he had assignments in Korea. He retired in 2008.
Family members said his children and grandchildren were the center of his life.
Services will be at 9:30 a.m. Friday at the March Funeral Home, 1100 E. North Ave.
In addition to his sister, survivors include his wife of 32 years, the former Bernice Vanessa Cooper; a son, Bernard Joseph Watkins Jr.; two daughters, Tasha Alverta Watkins and Janean Dionne Watkins, all of Baltimore; a brother, Eli Richard Watkins of Baltimore; two other sisters, Eleanora Hall of Baldwin and Alverta Fields of Randallstown; and four grandchildren.

jgsketch necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 20 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
Our company is looking for a logo design for our new site and non-profit company called RightTrack. This site is aimed at providing financial education to individuals and organizations. Our emphases are teaching people every thing about Credit and Money Management, Prevention of Debt and Financial Literacy.
A One Stop Source for Financial Literacy
Desired Color Scheme:
blues, blacks and silvers
Desired Style:
Web 2.0. Convery trustworthiness, steadiness and simplicity. Modern design.
Accepted File Formats:
PSD all layers and JPG
Our vision of the logo needs to represent the name of our company, RightTrack. This logo must include an art deco or modern looking train and train tracks under the train and or the title. Both train and the tracks are important, as the word Track is in the title. NO steam or old fashion trains please. While the companys name is RightTrack, the full title to be used is RightTrack Educational Services, with emphasis on RightTrack. "RightTrack" is to be one word and not all upercase. The tag line is A One Stop Source for Financial Literacy but is not mandatory in the logo. We are looking for a perspective drawing of the train and not a flat 2d image, unless its really creative and fits the design. No requirements for fonts at this point except Web 2.0 style fonts.
The President of the company has expressed interest in having the word RightTrack actually be part of the train, written in the train. However, use your best judgment, as this logo will need to be able to scale down (Vector Format) for stationary purposes. As long as the logo is vector based, we do not need specific stationary designs. I would prefer to see not just designs with the words in the train, because we are not sure how it will look and need to see logos without the words in the train.
The logo needs to convey trustworthiness, steadiness and simple with a modern style. We would like to see blues, blacks, silvers and possibly oranges, but mostly we are open to colors. This logo will be on a white background of a website and stationary. The website will be a simple design with a good amount of white space and in Web 2.0 style.
As the contest progresses, we will be narrowing down our ideas and what we are looking for. We do not want to impede the creative process too much in the beginning as we do not know yet fully what we want.

Browse searching is limited to one field, such as author or subject heading, and the computer matches the search statement exactly, so word order and spacing are important. This is in contrast to keyword searching which may involve more than one field, and where word order is not important. A browse search results in a list of entries from the one field.
