It's no big thing to play the music of Duke Ellington. That's done all the time: in cabarets, concert halls, movies, Broadway theaters and anywhere jazz musicians assemble. Ellingtonia, a word coined by admirers who realized that no existing musical category could contain him, is virtually inexhaustible: some 2,000 pieces, many in multiple versions and settings, often to the point of recomposed variations.
Overall, he offers the modern musician those qualities that never wilt, from lavishly distinctive melodies to the richest harmonic palette in jazz or popular music to a rhythmic variety, reminding us that swing is infinitely supple and can be as uplifting, witty, fierce or romantic as a good tune.
So the Pacific Symphony's decision to devote much of its program in this week's American Composers Festival to Ellington is an easy and welcome call. The difficulty is in electing which of his mansions to visit and how to escape the long shadow of his recordings, which are frequently definitive and almost always inimitable.
The inimitability is a good incentive. Unable to do it his way, you have to find your own way. The challenge reflects Ellington's unique relationship to scores.
If his popular songs — "Sophisticated Lady," "Mood Indigo," "Come Sunday," dozens more — can be accessed through sheet music, his instrumental music, with its shifting, growling, purring sonorities, is more elusive.
When Ellington organized his band in the 1920s, orchestrating techniques were far from standardized, but prevailing styles separated the ensemble into sections. The trumpets, trombones and reeds stuck together as units, playing off one another in call-and-response fashion, while the rhythm section provided a pulsing foundation. Ellington violated that scheme with ingenious blends that made audiences gasp and musicians shake their heads in wonder.
André Previn famously said, "Stan Kenton can stand in front of a thousand fiddles and a thousand brass and make a dramatic gesture and every studio arranger can nod his head and say, 'Oh, yes, that's done like this.' But Duke merely lifts a finger, three horns make a sound, and I don't know what it is."
Previn probably had in mind the theme chorus of "Mood Indigo" (1930), which Ellington tautly arranged for a trumpet with straight mute, a trombone with plunger mute and a clarinet voiced lower than the brasses. Today, that qualifies as Arranging 101, but anyone who thinks Ellington old hat is advised to study "Daybreak Express" (1933), which is rarely performed (though Ellington's record is not to be missed) because no one has figured out precisely how he got his reeds to replicate the sounds of a steam whistle.
During rehearsals and over time, Ellington made so many alterations in his scoring that, frequently, the only complete score was made after the fact, transcribed from a recording. Even when the score was accurately notated, the most distinctive aspect of his music, the timbres and styles of his musicians, could not be reproduced. Ellington did not compose for instruments but rather for specific players who gave him years, decades — in some instances, their entire careers.
In that sense, his music is more like movies than theater. There can never be a definitive Hamlet; each generation finds its own. But despite remakes and sequels, there is only one Rhett and Scarlet, one Ninotchka, one Don Corleone.
Similarly, each generation produces interpreters of the Beethoven sonatas, but a musician who attempts to re-create the singular qualities of such Ellington stalwarts as Johnny Hodges or Cootie Williams will be at best an impersonator and at worst a vandal. Ellington understood the parameters of individuality. For the original record of "Take the 'A' Train," Ray Nance improvised a trumpet solo so perfectly framed that it became as customary a part of the band's later performances as the written theme. When Nance left the orchestra (after 23 years), Cootie Williams inherited the solo. He played Nance's notes but in a style indisputably his own.
There's another way in which Ellington's music is like the movies: it's prohibitively expensive to perform as he wrote it. The great irony of big band music is that it flourished during the Great Depression and faded in the Age of Affluence.
Today's jazz orchestras are as dependent on grants, subscriptions and gifts as philharmonic orchestras. The well-funded Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, which probably plays more Ellington than any ensemble other than the one that bears his name, could not survive on ticket sales. Yet because it has endured for more than two decades, under Wynton Marsalis' leadership and with a relatively stable personnel, it has the experience to do Ellington justice.
This music is hard to play. When the American Jazz Orchestra, with which I was associated, recorded an Ellington album in the 1980s, the conductor John Lewis booked the orchestra into a jazz club so that, in addition to the afternoon rehearsals, it could perform the selections a dozen times before entering the recording studio.
Small bands and singers continue to perform Ellington's songs but not the opulent arrangements that are the DNA of his genius. Several conductors, including Simon Rattle, Daniel Barenboim and Maurice Peress, have performed Ellington's symphonic elaborations but often lack the rhythmic flexibility and fitting soloists to deliver satisfying accounts.
These issues will be addressed, inadvertently or deliberately, as Carl St.Clair's Pacific Symphony, in conjunction with the current Duke Ellington Orchestra, performs a concert of music by Ellington and the contemporary composer and saxophonist Daniel Schnyder at its 13th American Composers Festival.
Schnyder's selections include his arrangement of Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood" (1935), which begins with the same pentatonic phrase that opens George Gershwin's "Someone to Watch Over Me" but in the minor mode and topped with a note held for five beats against a moving harmony.
The Duke Ellington Orchestra's six selections traverse the length of his career, from "Creole Love Call" (1927), which employed wordless vocalizing as part of the orchestration, to the final movement of the ballet "Three Black Kings," written as Ellington lay on his deathbed, in 1974, and completed by his son, Mercer Ellington. The last of Ellington's many musical portraits of heroic black figures is a gospel waltz in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Its guileless riffs and backbeat rhythm achieve a sublimely understated power.
The selections also include the most famous pieces by Ellington's aide de camp, Billy Strayhorn: "Take the 'A' Train," composed during the 1941 ASCAP strike, when the airwaves boycotted Ellington's ASCAP compositions, and "Satin Doll," an unlikely smash hit that kept the orchestra afloat in 1953, when most big bands went the way of ballrooms and jitterbugging. The program also will include the anthem "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" (1932), three years before the swing era) and "Caravan" (1936), in which Ellington applied Middle Eastern scales and contrary rhythms to a melody by his Puerto Rican trombonist Juan Tizol.
Ellington's immense discography is one of the momentous achievements of the last century, but live performances and new interpretations will keep his music vital in the centuries to come.

Family: Styracaceae
Extraction: Solvent extracted from gum resin. Absolute, often thinned with ethyl glycol. It has a sweet, vanilla-like odor.
Medicinal Action: Once called "friar's balsam" because it soothes coughs and relieves lung congestion, a formula is still sold by this name. It is also used to treat poor circulation and muscular problems.
Cosmetic/Skin Use: Benzoin is antiseptic, antifungal, protects chapped skin and increases skin elasticity.
Emotional Attribute: This fragrance is for those who feel anxious, emotionally blocked, lonely or exhausted, especially from a life crisis. It creates a "safe space" that protects one from outside interference.
Considerations: Skin sensitizing.
Associated Oils:
Balsam of Tolu (Myroxylon balsamum) -- A Colombian tree once cultivated by the Incas for its vanilla-like fragrance and medicine. The oil, distilled from the gum resin, treats lung congestion, scabies, eczema, and ringworm. Skin sensitizing.
Balsam of Peru (M. balsamum var. Pereirae) --This El Salvadoran tree got its name because it was shipped with Peruvian goods. The taste is hotter and more bitter than tolu. Skin sensitizing.
Styrax (Liquidamber orientalis) --The vanilla-like resin from this tree is used for indigestion, intestinal worms, poor appetite (especially due to illness), insomnia and menstrual irregularity. It can be toxic in quantity. L. styraciflua is the American variety. Skin sensitizing.

Terminator SalvationAuthor: iPhone Reviews // Category:
Terminator Salvation is a shooter game by Gameloft. $4.99
I have never been a fan of the Terminator movies, finding them boring and in the same trash can as Star Trek. I will grant the movie the fact that it has a storyline perfect for a shooting type game, and Gameloft has taken on the challenge of bringing this movie franchise to the big touch screen!
Terminator Salvation plays very similarly to another successful Gameloft game: Brothers In Arms, with the same style of gameplay but improved graphics and controls. The game stays somewhat true to the movie storyline with features in both versions that you can relate to, for example the motocycle level. The aim of Terminator Salvation is to defeat Skynet by fighting with both John Connor and Marcus Wright, two characters from the movie and from what I understood in the cinemas, previous movies as well.
Gameloft's classic difficulty level settings are the same with easy and medium being unlocked and the ability to play in the hard difficulty after completing one of the two. Generally the hard difficulty doesn't take my fancy as its the same game, except a bit harder. Terminator Salvation lets you play as the Terminator on hard mode, something that you will only understand after watching the movie, but certainly something different.
3D Games are rare and generally hard to come across on the App Store. Terminator Salvation is probably close to the top of the 3D games with graphics so good that it feels more like a top class PSP game than a simple $4.99 game on the iPhone. The great graphics doesn't just end with a pretty background, but instead a huge amount of detail and dedication has gone into every aspect of the game, right down to the sparks coming out one of the Skynet's enemies after a long range headshot.
Fans of the series will enjoy being able to distinguish different Skynet models while playing the game. Each area from the movie has a different color theme, depending on whether it is the dark Los Angeles or dangerous San Francisco. Terminator Salvation was made by a team of Terminator enthusiasts and has therefore been made to make any fan proud, but those disliking the movie series like myself will still get immersed in the environment.
The sound is surprisingly good for a developer who I find it generally lacking in this department. The in-game sound effects are very detailed and actually make it sound like a full on battle zone. There are intro clips before all levels which are from the game's graphics and look spectacular for a device like this. This is definitely a shooting game to play with the sound on.
The controls in Terminator Salvation have been a huge step-up from what I thought were clunky and often annoying controls in Brothers In Arms. Moving your character involves dragging the virtual joystick in the desired direction. To move the camera to a position that actually allows to see, especially after turning a corner while walking, you just drag your finger on the screen like the process used in The Sims 3. To shoot you use the attack button on the right of the screen and to change your weapon of choice just touch the weapon icon at the top of the screen. Some other options appear from time to time and a button appears just above the attack button.
The game is a lot smoother than Brothers In Arms, and compared to BIA would be like playing the exact same game on the iPhone 3GS compared to the iPhone 3G. Everything just works a lot easier and just feels like a more enjoyable game to play. Skills like hiding behind barriers and walls is easily implemented and gets rid of the need for a lot more controls. The best shooting game I have found on the App Store in the controls, smoothness department by far.
This is one of the best games in terms of action and being a great game that engages you in the gameplay. You don't get a single moment of rest because around every corner is the chance that one of the smaller, yet deadly fast Skynet robots will come and attack you. Quick reflexes and good aiming skills are the key to defeating the game. The aim of Terminator Salvation is to survive through all the levels by destroying all members of Skynet as well as making it to the end of the level. Each level generally ends with some type of larger boss to destroy and sometimes involves using a simple mini game to defeat them.
The game is, as I said above, filled with action requiring you to shoot and destroy as much as possible. With other members of the Resistance running around to help you fight your battles it really feels like you are on the battlefield, with the same type of feeling that you got from playing Brothers In Arms. There is more than just the classic shooter side of the game, with different levels in the game that let you control a vechile, either a motocycle or a tank. These are great fun to play and a nice way to tie in some of the film aspects with the full on fighting.
Alot of the aspects of Brothers In Arms that I felt let the game down have been improved to give a great gaming experience in Terminator Salvation. The driving levels of BIA were clunky and hard to control, as was some of the movements of your character, such as hiding behind barriers.
While Terminator Salvation gives you a playing time of about 2 hours, this is doubled to 4 hours after playing through the game as the Terminator. I believe the movie went for about 115 minutes (Hooray for Wikipedia) and especially with Popcorn and a Drink on top of the ticket price, is a more expensive exercise than buying this game. While I have just compared this game to Brothers In Arms, it is the best 3D shooter on the App Store by far, easily outclassing others like Resident Evil: Degeneration and Prey Invasion.
Terminator Salvation has class smeared all over what is left of Skynet. Once again Gameloft has prevailed with a outstanding game, showing why they are in what I consider to be the best five game developers/publishers on the App Store (Congratulations to Electronic Arts, Ng:Moco, Chillingo and Freeverse). A great game with graphics to amaze you after every corner. This is seriously one of the better games that you can pick up on the App Store if you enjoy shooting games.

While many surfers consider themselves environmentalists, in tune with Mother Nature, surfboards are decidedly not eco-friendly. They are often made from a mass of nasty toxins – including MDI, short for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, or toluene diisocyanate, commonly known as TDI, which has been classified as a possible carcinogen by the Environmental Protection Agency. To combat the problem, the city of San Diego and three local companies – Eco Built Construction, Rerip.com and Allan Co. – have created a program to recycle used, broken or unwanted surfboards.
Surfboards can be dropped off for free at the city's Miramar Recycling Center (map), as well as at Rerip.com's location at the Solana Beach Lifeguard Station, 111 S. Sierra Ave. (map)
Surfboards still in usable condition will be donated to nonprofit organizations in Los Angeles, while unusable surfboards will be ground up by Eco Built and used as 20 percent filler in its concrete mixtures. Cowabunga.

Sold Out $ 69.99
Pyramidal cells are a type of neuron found in the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the amygdala. Because pyramidal cells exhibit neuroplasticity (the ability of a neuron to change its function), they are critically involved in cognition, learning, and memory.
Sophisticated, striking, and classy, this copper pendant captures many structural elements of pyramidal neurons. If you look carefully, you will see the single axon, a large apical dendrite, multiple basal dendrites, and the presence of dendritic spines.
Each pendant is made from hand-worked, kiln-fired copper which is then hand-polished and finished with a lovely patina. It measures 7/8 x 1 1/4 inches and comes on an 18-inch copper chain.

I love my "happy mood " necklace. I receive so many compliments.

Is there anyone here besides yours truly who is interested in light mysteries? I am referring to mysteries where the murder usualy takes place "offstage" as it were and the detective is not a hard boiled type. The others in the story are not generally hard boiled, either, and even the murderer is frequently an ordinary person who would otherwise be acceptable in polite circles.
These are often set in the UK, but not always, and an unusual setting, or an unusual "day job" for the detective, are frequent features. Cats and dogs often appear.
I just finished one of an enjoyable series involving a husband and wife detective team in the early 1900s who do their work aboard the luxury cruise liners of the day. These are written by Conrad Allen.
Mary Daheim has two series out. One involves a Bed and Breakfast proprietress in Seattle and the other involves the Editor of a weekly newspaper in the Washington State mountains.
A little more hard boiled is a series by Nevada Barr featuring a law enforcement ranger in the Park Service.
Tony Hillerman's novels set on the Navajo Reservation fall into this category, as do those of his imitators (some of which I have read and enjoyed).
One of my favorites is a series set in Las Vegas, by Carol Nelson Douglas (who has also done good Sherlock Holmes "pastiches" featuring a character from the stories--not Holmes), featuring Midnight Louie, a tomcat who manages to"help" solve mysteries.
Anyone else into this genre?

Sen. Wendy Davis, who has been with her father at a Fort Worth hospital after he developed complications from abdominal surgery, reported Thursday on Facebook that he had passed away.
Davis, D-Fort Worth, had pushed back her timeframe for announcing whether she will run for governor while attending to her father, and at times had said that he appeared to be making progress. Last week, she had said she hoped he would be able to join her for the announcement.
But early Thursday morning, she posted this:
"I am heartbroken to report that my father, Jerry Russell, passed away peacefully in the early hours of this morning. He was surrounded by his children and his wife, our stepmom, Suzi. During his time in the hospital, there was never a moment that one of us wasn't by his side. We, and the community, will forever be grateful for the significant impact he made on our lives. He and his warm, sparkling brown eyes will be deeply missed. My family and I thank you for surrounding us with your prayers and comfort during this time."
Russell was the noted founder of a Fort Worth theater company. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has details about his life, including this:
"Russell was a gifted and much-respected director, and also an actor with an ability to disappear into a role ……
It's easy to see the influence, as a performer and artist, he had on his daughter Wendy Davis.
Russell and Davis' mother divorced when she was a child, but Russell was always part of her life. Davis' headline-making 11-hour filibuster in the Texas Senate this year had to be spiritually guided, in part, by her father, who was always known as a fighter who wouldn't back down from anything he wanted to accomplish."

As of 11 a.m., there were zero takers on the starting bid of $1. Fine, it's not authenticated, but this is still shocking when you consider that there's a "Chipper Jones Hand Signed Autographed Atlanta Braves Mini Batting Helmet" listed for $69.96 on Amazon.

Exceeding Client Expectations since 1978
Rankin Construction Inc. is an innovative and diverse company that has a well deserved reputation for providing solid and dependable work. The company specializes in a wide range of heavy civil construction projects that include roads, bridges, sewer and water main, marine and renewable energy.
CEO's Message
The company has grown beyond my expectations since its incorporation in 1978. Initially known as Stephens and Rankin Inc., I thought it was fitting in 2001 to change the name to Rankin Construction Inc. to acknowledge my children in the business, Wendy Wing, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Brian Rankin, President. Mr. Dave Stephens is no longer a shareholder, but I will always owe Dave a debt of gratitude for giving me the opportunity to be a shareholder in 1978, and for his assistance in helping the company grow and prosper in those early years.
A company is only as good as the people that comprise its workforce. It has always been a source of great pride to me that we have so many employees of diverse backgrounds and skills and in many cases belonging to different unions, but still working harmoniously to complete the project to the highest possible standards. This pride I have in our employees manifests itself in the pride they have in their work. A job well done is a vital parameter for success and that will always be our company's goal.
Tom Rankin, P.Eng., CEO

NBC has unveiled the first promotional poster for their upcoming miniseries starring Zoe Saldana, Rosemary's Baby.
The poster -- which will soon cover buses, billboards and trains nationwide -- features a back-lit picture of Saldana standing by a baby's stroller in front of a window.
Rosemary's Baby tells the story of a woman who is pregnant with the Antichrist. The original film, based in author's Ira Levin's 1967 suspense novel, was directed by Roman Polanski in 1968, stars Mia Farrow and takes place in New York. NBC's series, however, will take in Paris. The tag line for the horror thriller is "Fear is Born."
Patrick J. Adams, Jason Isaacs and Carole Bouquet will also star in NBC's four-hour miniseries, which will premiere in May.

Speed of early universe's expansion determined
Rate known as Hubble constant now known with great precision for ancient universe
SAVANNAH, Ga. — Ask an astronomer how fast the universe is currently expanding and you'll get a fuzzy answer (SN: 4/5/14, p. 18). But thanks to a measurement with unprecedented precision, astronomers can now confidently cite the speed of cosmic expansion that was occurring nearly 11 billion years ago.
Physicists with the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey reported April 7 at a meeting of the American Physical Society that they had improved on their 2012 measurement (SN: 12/29/12, p. 9). They did so by tracking the distances to, and recession speeds of, gas clouds backlit by more than 140,000 distant ultrabright galaxies called quasars. BOSS pinned down a figure — the universe was stretching by 1 percent every 44 million years — with more precision than estimates of the universe's current expansion rate have.
Due to quasars' extreme brightness, BOSS is the only expansion-rate survey able to probe the early universe, when gravity was slowing down the stretching of space-time triggered by the Big Bang. Scientists want to explore how, over time, gravity's influence waned and dark energy took over, causing cosmic expansion to accelerate. Adding another layer of intrigue, BOSS's measurement is slightly at odds with theoretical predictions, team physicist Andreu Font-Ribera of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory says.

Kelly Clarkson Discusses Style… And Hot Rugby Guys In Australian Interview [VIDEO]
Kelly Clarkson performed at the National Rugby League Grand Final, a major sporting event in Australia with a cultural significance similar to the Super Bowl in the US. During her visit, she also had the opportunity to chat with an Australian radio station about her experience in the land Down Under.
What was the pop singer's favorite part? …
… The hot rugby players. "Everybody kept telling me the rules," she joked, "and I was like, 'Blah, blah blah, hot guys in uniforms.'"
When Clarkson's around guys she's interested in — like chiseled athletes — she gets tongue-tied. "All of a sudden I forget how to speak," the bubbly star admitted.
As the interview progressed, the conversation drifted toward the glamorous dress she wore while performing at the finals. She'd rather wear a more dressed-down everyday style. "I would be here in jeans and a tank and a baseball cap to hide the fact that I'm not wearing makeup and I didn't want to fix my hair. That's me!" Clarkson kidded. "It's hot. That's probably why I'm single. It's a hot look."
Clarkson releases a new album called 'Stronger' October 24th.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's swimming team split their meet against the visiting University of New England in a dual meet at the Tripp Athletic Center Saturday. The women fell, 177-116, while the men won, 147-94, in a meet that was classified as an exhibition, since UNE's men are a club team.
Women's winners sophomore Cecilia Rius (Rockville, MD/Richard Montgomery HS), who won the both one meter diving with a score of 190.90 points and the three meter diving, with 173.50 points, sophomore Morgan Cooper (Sunderland, MA/Frontier Regional HS) who won the 200 yard freestyle in 2:03.73, and junior Brittany Dupuis (Milford, MA/Milford HS), who won the 50 yard freestyle in 28.31 seconds.
For the men, winners included freshman Christian Francia (Hampton, NH/Winnacunnet HS), who won the one meter diving with 206.70 points, freshman Eric Frohman (Woodbridge, CT/Amity HS), who won both the 100 yard backstroke (1:00.08) and the 200 yard backstroke (2:13.77), senior Andrew Haughey (West Springfield, MA/West Springfield HS), who took both the 500 yard freestyle (5:47.08) and the 1000 yard freestyle (12:12.91), senior David Adams (Tyngsboro, MA/Tyngsboro HS), who won the 50 yard freestyle in 23.99 seconds, and sophomore Matt Dean (Londonderry, NH/Londonderry HS), who took the 200 yard breaststroke in 2:36.48. The 200 yard medley relay team of Frohman, Adams, Dean and senior Craig Johnson (Acushnet, MA/New Bedford HS) finished first in 1:47.61.
"We swam a little flat today," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Cathy Motta. "We had some strong efforts today, and had some people swim seasonal bests. We are looking to rebound for the upcoming meet against Bridgewater this Tuesday."
UMass Dartmouth's women dropped to 1-2 with the defeat, while the men's match does not count in UMass Dartmouth's record because the UNE men are a club team. The Nor'Easter women improved to 2-1 with the victory.
The Corsairs will return to action when they host the UMass Dartmouth Invitational next Saturday. The Nor'Easters will visit the Regis Invitational next Saturday.

Doc invents videogame sedation headset
Just for kids, though
Drugging kids as they play on Game Boys is an odd and slightly creepy thought. But a gadget's been invented that does just that.
PediSedate: chill out while playing videogames
The PediSedate headset has been designed to help calm children before, say, going under the dentist's drill or before a serious operation. It's also specifically designed to connect into a Game Boy or CD player.
A nurse connects a canister of nitrous oxide to the colourful headset and in-built headphones relay sound from the connected CD player or Game Boy.
A snorkel nosepiece is then swung down to cover the child's nose, helping them to become comfortably sedated while playing videogames or listening to music.
Geoffrey A. Hart, a Boston-based anaesthesiologist, invented PediSedate, which it's claimed has already been "very well received by parents, kids and health-care workers". We're not sure Nintendo's endorsed it as an official Game Boy accessory, though.
Hopefully Hart might opt to modernise the headset's entertainment plug-ins in future with, say, the option to hook it into a PlayStation Portable or iPhone…
PediSedate has already been patented and is currently undergoing a second phase of clinical trials at a hospital in New England, North America. ®

"The definition and traditional meaning of the word bangle, is a stiff solid round ring approximately 3 to 4 inches in diameter that slips over the hand and loosely hangs on the wrist. A bangle can be gold, crystal or leather, formed from minerals like amber or jade, beaded together with enamel or acrylic bead and even tied together with bamboo. Modern bangle designs incorporate a hinged and clasp system that opens and closes around the wrist. A bangle can be thin or chunky in design depending on the individual taste and fashion statement.
The difference between a bangle and a standard bracelet is a bangle bracelet is solid and rigid in material design; in comparison, standard bracelets typically incorporate a flexible link or sting design. To slip the bangle on you compress the hand placing the thumb towards the little finger and gentle slid the bangle over the hand. The width of bangle is slightly smaller then the hand preventing it from falling off.
The word bangle dates back to 1787 and derives from the Hindi bangli and earlier Hindi bungri referring to glass. On an historical note, earlier versions of shell and copper bangle rings have been discovered on several archeological sites in India dating back up to 2500 years. Today bangle jewelry merchants continue to sell their products in many open street markets through out the world.
Wearing of bangle jewelry is common in India especially among the Hindus who wear bangles as a sign of marital status. Married men will sometime wear a single bangle called a kada. It is also customary for the father of a Sikh bride to give the groom a gold ring... "

Iron Fist Athletics
Iron Fist Athletics is a new company with the most experienced strength coaches in the industry.
We train athletes from many different sports but our main focus is on the development of MMA (Mixed Martial Artists).
At Iron Fist Athletics, the credo that our athletes live by, speaks for itself.
"I won't let myself end where I started. I will not let myself finish where I began. I know what is within me, even if you can't see it yet. Look me in the eyes. I have something more important than courage. I have patience. I will become what I know I am. A champion."
I've been able to log over 12,000 hours of hands-on training in real world situations. But the highlight of my career has always been and will always be watching my athletes perform on their given stage. Watching them give every last ounce of strength and energy they have until that final bell rings or buzzer goes off. They leave it all out on the battlefield and win or lose; they know that they did everything they could do to succeed without any regrets.
Our goal is to get national recognition within the ages of 14-32. Both male and female.
We are not some "fancy polished health club" style of training. The athletes we train go to war with themselves every time they come in to train. We need a logo that is rough, gritty and down right dirty but at the same time needs to look professional and distinct.
Blood and sweat go hand in hand with MMA and any type of strength and conditioning we do. Our athletes don't leave anything left in the tank and want the world to know that they aren't people to be messed with.
We would like the logo to be very distinct meaning that people will recognize it when they see it.
We require a logo that can have different color variations. One for a white background and one for a black background. A third background of red will also be considered.
We are big fans of a font type called "Defused" and if possible, something along those lines would make us happy.
Designers are free to use their creative flair.
The files that we require are:
All print file formats
All web file formats
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
Attached is what we are currently using as a very basic logo.

From the outside it looked very nice, and the reception and dining area was nice but that's it.
The stairs were tatty and dated, the room was also a bit tatty and dated, we were told the room looked out over the garden which was essentially a small patio and some one else's garden and living room. The bathroom was nice but very small and the toilet hadn't been cleaned properly from the previous occupant.

The Desire is the third book in "The Restoration" series, and it lived up to the expectations that the first two set! This story focuses on Michelle and Allan, but we also get to hear about a brand new character that has been added to the Anderson family. I promise you will cry as you read this; I think it is my favorite story so far.

If the dollar loses its status as the world reserve currency, which appears increasingly likely, the U.S. economy will suffer devastating consequences caused by the resulting hyperinflation — especially since America imports most of its oil. And with the world's most prominent international institutions and leaders predicting and even calling for an end to dollar hegemony, as well as the creation of a world currency controlled by a global central bank, the time for states to take notice and prepare may be now or never.
The Virginia resolution, introduced by Republican Delegate Robert Marshall, begins with the premise that the state government has a responsibility to protect the lives and property of its citizens. To fulfill that mission requires proper state finances and a "robust private economy," both of which necessitate a "sound currency."
And according to the bill, the current monetary and banking systems — revolving around the Federal Reserve — might not be able to provide the stability necessary for a prosperous economy and well-functioning state government. Not for long, at least. The present systems "have come under ever-increasing strain during the last several years, and will be exposed to ever-increasing and predictably debilitating strain in the years to come."
On top of that, the legislation points out, many prominent authorities are predicting the "inevitable destruction of the Federal Reserve System's currency through hyperinflation in the foreseeable future." So if and when the widely anticipated monetary calamity arrives, without prior preparations, the state's finances and the private sector would be "thrown into chaos."
Of course, such a scenario would have "gravely detrimental effects upon the lives, health, and property of Virginia's citizens, and with consequences fatal to the preservation of good order," the resolution warns. And those effects can only be avoided or minimized with the rapid adoption of an alternative sound currency, according to the proposal.
The bill also notes, citing experts, that the dollar's lack of precious-metals backing is one of the major reasons — if not the primary one — for the central banking system's ever-worsening instability. It also explains that the U.S. Constitution forces all states to make gold and silver a tender in payment of debts, even citing a Supreme Court ruling which recognizes that states may use whatever currency they choose in performing their sovereign functions — despite the fact that Congress decreed Federal Reserve Notes to be "legal tender."
The alternative currency, if adopted, would not lead to a ban on the use of Federal Reserve Notes — it would merely provide another option, sparking desirable competition without further destabilizing the current fiat-money regime. But as the bill points out, "the United States Congress, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve System have taken and are preparing to take no action to provide the United States with an alternative to the Federal Reserve System's currency, in the likely event that the latter would be destroyed through hyperinflation."
Since Virginia legislators know or should know all of this already, and because the state has the ability and the duty to do something about the situation — even without approval from Congress — "the citizens of the Commonwealth will properly conclude that the members of the General Assembly will be primarily responsible if the Commonwealth is found to be without an alternative currency when the Federal Reserve System's currency collapses in hyperinflation, or some other related economic calamity supervenes," the bill warns.
Of course, legislators in Virginia are not alone in their concerns about the dollar. "Proposals for states and their citizens to adopt an alternative currency consisting of gold or silver, or both, are receiving increasing attention throughout the United States, as evidenced by bills that have been or are being introduced in the legislatures of the States of Georgia, Indiana, Montana, New Hampshire, and South Carolina," the proposal explains, highlighting the fact that precious metals have already proven themselves in the free market.
The resolution would not in itself create an alternative currency. It would merely create a bipartisan committee to examine the issue and make recommendations for legislation to deal with it. The group's findings and suggestions would be due by next year. The bill is summarized on the Commonwealth's website as a resolution "Establishing a joint subcommittee to study whether the Commonwealth should adopt a currency to serve as an alternative to the currency distributed by the Federal Reserve System in the event of a major breakdown of the Federal Reserve System."
Numerous constitutional and monetary experts have recommended state policies to deal with the issue — especially since the federal government has so far refused to address the looming crisis. Attorney Edwin Vieira, for example, a prominent constitutional scholar, told The New American last year that it would be very wise for state governments to start preparing for major problems in the dollar. One suggestion he offered would see states start accepting part of their tax revenues in precious metals — a proposal which could be ramped up if times required it.
Of course, the inherent problems with the current monetary system have not gone unnoticed in Congress, either. Rep. Ron Paul has been sounding the alarm for decades, culminating in a recent book entitled End the Fed and a bill to audit the Federal Reserve that — despite being watered down — succeeded in exposing certain central-bank dealings. He also has a bill that would repeal legal tender rules and allow the free market to decide what should be used as money. And recently, his proposals and the ideas he espouses have been getting a lot more attention — as evidenced by the resolution introduced in Virginia.
But despite Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell announcing that he won't support the measure, analysts are hailing just the bill's introduction as a significant step. Gold Stock Bull founder Jason Hamlin, for example, said the proposal "could be the financial shot heard around the world" in a piece for The Market Oracle.
Financial website ZeroHedge.com suggested the resolution "may one day be heralded as the formal proposal that proverbially started it all." Urging all legislators to carefully read the legislation, the site commented: "Whether this resolution will ever get off the ground, and actually find that the world is at great risk should gold not be instituted as a backstop currency, is irrelevant. The mere fact that it is out there, should provide sufficient impetus to other states to consider the ultimate Plan B."
Similarly, GoldAlert.com, citing recent news of foreign governments considering transactions in gold, suggested "Virginia's move could be the start of a growing trend around the world of various levels of government seeking to transact in a currency that is no individual's debt and cannot be printed at the whim of central bankers."
For now, the resolution has been referred to the Committee on Rules. How far it will go remains to be seen. But with other states considering similar measures and the dollar's problems becoming increasingly obvious, prudent preparations for a potential catastrophe will only continue building steam.

Says he will choose her for secretary of State if he concludes she is best-suited for the job.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice won strong backing on Wednesday from President Obama, who dismissed Senate Republicans' criticism of her initial handling of the fatal Benghazi attack as "outrageous."
While declining to discuss possible upcoming nominations as he begins a second term, Obama ripped Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., for vowing to try to block Rice if the president should nominate her to replace Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Obama said he would nominate Rice if he concluded she was best-suited for the post.
"If Senator McCain and Senator Graham and others want to go after someone, they should go after me," Obama told a news conference in dismissing criticism that Rice inaccurately described the attack on the Benghazi diplomatic compound, declining to call it a terrorist attack as the administration later did. "And I'm happy to have that discussion with them. But for them to go after the ambassador who had nothing to do with Benghazi, and was simply making a presentation based on intelligence that she had received, and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous."
"She has done exemplary work," Obama added. "She has represented the United States and our interests in the United Nations with skill and professionalism and toughness and grace."

text: LG Electronics Q1 profit sinks, TV pain outweighs phone revival LG Electronics Inc, the world's No.2 TV maker, said quarterly profit fell 13 percent as sharp price cuts resulted in razor-thin margins for its TV division, overshadowing a strong recovery in smartphones. business Updated: Apr 24, 2013 11:43 IST Reuters LG Electronics Inc, the world's No.2 TV maker, said quarterly profit fell 13 percent as sharp price cuts resulted in razor-thin margins for its TV division, overshadowing a strong recovery in smartphones.Since late last year, LG and bigger rival Samsung Electronics Co have had to contend with unfavourable currency rates that benefit Japanese rivals, while global demand for TVs is expected to plateau this year as many consumers in developed countries already own a flat-screen TV.Smartphones sales jumped to a record 10.3 million units, helped by new high-end models. LG has overtaken Taiwan's HTC Corp to become the world's No.3 smartphone maker by sales in the fourth quarter, although its 3.2 percent market share is still dwarfed by Apple Inc and Samsung.LG said January-March operating profit fell to 349 billion won, above a consensus forecast for 289 billion won from 35 analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.That compares with 402 billion won a year ago and 117 billion won in the previous quarter. It marks its first profit decline in year-on-year terms in five quarters after 2011 and 2012 results were revised to reflect accounting changes.While its TV troubles may not match the dire straits faced by Japanese rivals Sony Corp and Panasonic Corp, both of which are downsizing their television businesses, LG's profit margins have slipped to below 1 percent since the third quarter, compared with nearly 6 percent in the second quarter of last year. TV profits for LG tumbled 82 percent to 29.8 billion won.Its mobile business' profit improved to 133 billion won from a 31 billion won profit a year ago and 56 billion won in the fourth quarter.But that recovery, which has helped propel its share price 18 percent higher in the last three months, could slow again. Samsung introduces the latest version of its flagship Galaxy S this week and Apple is widely expected to launch a cheaper iPhone this year.Its shares fell 0.4 percent after the results, compared to a 0.8 percent decline for the broader market.

A few months ago, we not-so-casually mentioned the addition of Ted Leo & The Pharmacists to the Matador roster of Talented & Good-Looking Artistic Persons. Admittedly, it was the bog standard Matador signing announcement. Obligatory mention of Ted's impressive back catalog. Citation of Ted as one of our all-time favorite live artists and songwriters. Oh-so-predictable references to Chipotle and Trump Realty.
Of course, that was before we heard the new album. And make no mistake, 'The Brutalist Bricks' — available on LP, CD and via all popular digital storefronts March 9, 2010 — is one of those career-defining, "can you believe what you're hearing?" kinda records that makes most other activity the day you first play it nearly impossible (in other words, we're suggesting you shower before you open the package). Recorded through 2009 at Brooklyn's Seaside Lounge, 'Bricks' could be the most confident, kinetic and varied work in Ted's canon, and considering his body of work until now, that's no easy claim to make. If you've seen Ted/Rx at any point in the past year, you've probably heard a few of the songs before, but the final studio versions pack a considerable punch. And here's a punch to tide you over (we'd prefer you pay for the full beating) :

I saw my friend Alessandra when I was in Milan last week. As you can see, her style has evolved from a sportier gamine aesthetic to a more languid bohemian-femme mood.
What I love about her look here is that even though her dress is a casual cotton dress that could be bought anywhere (and in a wide range of fabrics and prices), she still finishes off the look with very special details.
You know what else I love about this look? I know a lot of girls would throw on a big cotton dress like this and call it done…almost a "fashion day-off." Alessandra, however, adds a dramatic necklace and a thoughtfully executed hairstyle and it elevates the entire look. The hair in this look is so important. I think the reason the girls I saw in Savannah looked so great, even as casually dressed college kids, was because they all seemed to have great hairstyles.
I think this shot is a great example of clothes as a plain canvas for the fashion in the rest of the look…as roasted chicken is to a complicated French sauce.
On this look, let the Summer games begin!!
