Lady Gaga executed four costume changes during her act at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday. Miley Cyrus played provocateur. The ovations went to Justin Timberlake.
In her first live performance since a recent hip surgery, Gaga opened the proceedings by morphing through her various incarnations. White, monastic garb gave way to a black, jeweled bodysuit. Next a 1980s era power suit was discarded to reveal a bikini constructed of seashells.
Gaga, however, couldn't hold a candle to crowd favorite Justin Timberlake who delivered a lengthy mash-up set of his past and current hits, reunited with 'NSync, and ultimately took home the night's biggest prize: Video of the Year, for his single, "Mirrors."
U.S. & World
Beginning at the entrance of Brooklyn's Barclays Center, Timberlake's performance took his backup dancers and the audience on a tour of the VMA venue and a journey through his career song book. It was the night's stand-out act.
Dressed in a black suit and black hat, Timberlake grooved and crooned through a series of solo hits ("SexyBack," "Cry Me A River," "Senorita") before the remaining members of 'NSync — JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass — joined him on stage to belt out their smash of 2000, "Bye Bye Bye." Timberlake stepped back into the solo spotlight to accept the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award for career excellence.
"I don't deserve the award, but I'm not going to give it back," Timberlake said clutching the trophy. "I'm taking this home."
"Half of the moonmen I've ever won, I won with those four guys right there," Timberlake, who now has 18 VMAs under his belt, said as he gestured to his former band mates. "So above all else, I'm going to share this — we can keep it my house — but I'm going to share this award with them."
One Direction, the hottest boy band of current times, handed Selena Gomez the Best Pop Video award for her song, "Come and Get It." The four British lads later took home their own Moonman for "Best Song Ever," which won the Song of the Summer category.
Miley Cyrus was all provocative tongue and twerking when she hit the stage to perform "We Can't Stop." Cyrus and her teddy bear-laden backup dancers were joined by Robin Thicke for a bump-and-grind crossover of her song and his summer anthem, "Blurred Lines." The raunchy pair were joined by 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar to end the set with "Give It 2 U."
Overall, Timberlake tied with Macklemore for most wins with both artists taking home three statuettes each. Timberlake's Video Vanguard trophy - announced ahead of the telecast - pushed him to the top of the leader board.
Taking a break from the gyrations and bare flesh on display, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis raised the social consciousness when they accepted the Best Video with a Social Message award for their marriage-equality anthem "Same Love."
"Ive been writing songs since I was 15 years old and to me this is the most important record out of all of them," said Macklemore (real name Ben Haggerty). "To watch this song in the last year spread across the world is a testament to what is happening right now in America on the forefront of equality. Gay rights are human rights, there is no separation."
Jason Collins, the first openly gay NBA player, later introduced the rapper/singer for a live performance of "Same Love" featuring Ryan Lewis, Jennifer Hudson and Mary Lambert.
Other winners included 30 Seconds to Mars, who took Best Rock Video for "Up in the Air." Bruno Mars was awarded Best Choreography for "Treasure" as well as Best Male Video for "Locked Out of Heaven." Best Female Video went to Taylor Swift for "I Knew You Were Trouble."
Swift was already a topic of conversation on Twitter earlier in the evening for appearing to utter an expletive when rumored former love interest Harry Styles of One Direction appeared. Swift continued to keep the Twitterverse occupied when she thanked a former beau for her win.
"I also want to thank the person who inspired this song, who knows exactly who he is, because I got one of these," Swift said. "Thank you so much!"
Proud new papa Kanye West made his seventh VMA stint, tying him with Madonna for the most live performances in the show's history. He delivered a restrained version of "BL--- S---N HEAD" off of his latest album "Yeezus."
Drake, 2 Chainz, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry also delivered strong performances with Perry belting out her new single "Roar" from a boxing ring specially constructed under the Brooklyn Bridge for the show's finale.
For this year only, Timberlake and his fellow VMA winners took home a redesigned Moonman, created specially to commemorate the event's first time at the Brooklyn venue.
In place of the regular shiny astronaut (based on the image of helmeted astronaut Buzz Aldrin planting the flag on the lunar landscape), the updated version was a figure that took design cues from Companion, the big-eared, X-eyed creature designed by the Brooklyn artist KAWS.

I've hunted my whole life and a good portion of time I've spent in the woods has been devoted to deer hunting. Carrying equipment into the woods to hunt deer requires shoulders, hands and a lot of pockets. When you add profession camera gear I've found you almost need a wagon or cart to get it all to your stand or blind.
There have been so many times while hunting I've seen deer playing and doing interesting things that I wished I left the rifle and home and brought my camera. I recent years I have done just that and it has been very rewarding. On a recent hunt in Dallas County at Sedgefield's, I took my Nikon D3S camera and 400 mm f 2.8 lens and watched the action unfold. The same rules apply when hunting with a camera that do with a rifle. Check the wind, cover up your scent and muffle the sound of the camera with a rag or towel.
On this day the wind was howling between 15-25 mph and the rear door was banging the wall of the shooting house, but the deer were familiar with the sound and didn't pay any attention to it. A lot of times, land owners with let you take photos in their "sanctuary" fields if you don't bring a rifle. Smart land owners will leave a couple of fields restricted to hunting each year so deer have a sanctuary to go to. these fields are usually rotated annually. It's a great place to get great photos.

What if Darth Vader's voice modulator broke and he reverted to sounding like Jake Lloyd again? The results may surprise you, but they will almost certainly make you laugh.
To be fair, not every insertion of Jake Lloyd's lines from The Phantom Menace over Darth Vader's dialogue in A New Hope is brilliant, but holy shit there is still a lot of brilliance in here. Honestly, I think I'd be fine if the next Special Editions include Vader yelling "Yippee!" here and there.
Infinite thanks to Joseph L. for the tip!

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The public outcry in India over the gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student on a New Delhi bus has prompted soul-searching in South Africa, where some people are asking: "Why not here?"
In the seven weeks since the trainee physiotherapist was raped, assaulted with a metal bar and thrown bleeding onto a highway to die, nearly 9,000 women and children will have been sexually violated in South Africa.
In one recent case in the capital Pretoria, five men dragged a 21-year-old woman into the bushes and took turns to rape her as she walked with friends at dawn to secure a spot in a university enrolment queue.
Nearly four weeks on, police have made no arrests.
Violence against women is also endemic in India, but the brutality of the recent attack shocked even those inured to the rising wave of sexual crimes and prompted thousands of protesters into the streets. The Indian cabinet has since fast-tracked tougher new penalties for sex crimes.
In South Africa, such cases barely make a stir. In a country long known as the "rape capital of the world", women's rights campaigners say sexual violence has almost lost the power to shock.
"We are not the only country faced with crime, sexism, patriarchal attitudes and poverty. But we seem to be the only country that goes to sleep when a rape happens," popular radio presenter Redi Tlhabi wrote.
Comparing data across countries is difficult because of varying reporting requirements, but by any measure South Africa's sexual assault rate is off the charts. Its statistics agency concluded in 2000 that it had the highest reported rape rate of all 120 Interpol member countries.
"It points to a fundamental kind of sickness in our society, that causing extreme and life-long pain to other people is a way in which some people have fun," said Rachel Jewkes, acting president of the Medical Research Council (MRC).
"We're still dealing with a patriarchal society, where men see themselves as privileged and doing anything they can get away with, and that includes raping."
Although researchers cite many reasons for South Africa's high rates of sexual crime, including extreme poverty, they also point the finger at decades of white-minority rule under which many black families were broken by the need for fathers to leave home to work as migrants in apartheid-run mines and factories.
"The impact of apartheid on families is probably the most important area - the way in which apartheid destroyed family life," Jewkes said.
Mindsets have not evolved significantly post-apartheid, and the police and justice system have failed to do their parts to protect victims and prosecute perpetrators.
In the year to April 2012, more than 64,000 sexual offences, including rape, were reported in South Africa, which has a population of 50 million people. Of these, more than 25,000 were assaults on children.
The figures could be much higher as research suggests only a fraction of rapes are reported given that the police force is seen as unsympathetic to victims. Even when suspects are caught, only 12 percent of cases end in conviction.
"It is so frustrating because when you go to the police you get the second victimization," said Funeka Soldaat, a lesbian community activist in Cape Town's Khayelitsha township, who was gang raped by four men 17 years ago.
"The frustrating thing also is the silence among ourselves as women in the community, (the failure) to say this is not okay."
Rape became front page news last year when seven men aged between 14 and 20 went on trial on charges of raping a mentally handicapped 17-year old girl and recording it on a cell-phone video that later went viral.
But even that incident did not spur anything like the kind of public protest seen in India.
"If the gang rape of a mentally handicapped 17-year-old failed to get thousands on the streets in protest, what will?" columnist Rachel Davis asked in January in the online publication Daily Maverick.
Last month police in North West province arrested a 43-year-old man for raping his 10-month-old niece while the baby's mother was at work. After the arrest, another female relative came forward to lay a charge against the man for a prior rape.
Some South African women believe sexual assaults have been tolerated for so long that men do not even seem to be ashamed to admit to it.
Johannesburg receptionist Luleka told of a male colleague at work who recited during a casual lunchtime discussion how, as teenagers, he and friends forced reluctant girls into sex.
"I listened to him and thought, 'He doesn't get it'," said Luleka, who did not want her family name published. "He virtually raped a young girl twenty years ago and sees nothing wrong. His defence is that girls will never say 'yes' outright to sex."
Such attitudes make it harder for women to come forward.
"A lot of police believe rape victims are responsible for their own rape," said Gareth Newham, head of the Crime and Justice Programme at the Institute for Security Studies based in Pretoria.
"They must have been wearing provocative clothing or been in a dark area when they shouldn't have been. They blame the victim a lot."
Johannesburg businesswoman Andisiwe Kawa is still looking for justice after she was gang raped by five men in 2010 only to see the case against her suspected assailants dropped for lack of evidence.
Kawa, one of a tiny minority of rape victims who have publicly spoken about their attacks despite the stigma it carries, has founded a project that campaigns against rape of women and children.
"Rape has become a norm. We've become very apathetic about it. There's this silence that gives an upper hand to perpetrators because we don't tell on them," said Kawa, who is spearheading South Africa's part in a February 14 global march against gender violence.
Kawa, who is in her 50s, has lost faith in a justice system that she says allows rape cases to drag on for too long, with suspects often released on bail.
"We have a constitution that promises us the right to safety and security and justice but in reality we don't have those," she said.
"We have this nice, world-class legislation but it is not implemented for the people on the ground who require it. It is useless legislation."

First, Wall literally pump-faked Smith over his entire body. Smith, however, was unfazed. He quickly bounced back and blocked the real shot. Pretty impressive. Later, as the third quarter was winding down, Wall shook Ish out of his shoes and into the Magic bench before dumping it off to Kevin Seraphin for an easy dunk (video below). Smith then almost responded again with a half-court shot, but no dice.
It was Wall's second game back from a left knee injury and he had 12 points and six assists in 20 minutes. Washington won 120-91 and has won three in a row for the first time all year. Break up the Wizards.

Mobility Plan key to downtown revitalization
According to the recently released JAX 2025 survey, a better downtown is at the top of the wish list of its 14,016 respondents. However, Councilman Richard Clark's proposed three year moratorium of the mobility fee could stunt the redevelopment of downtown Jacksonville and leave the average taxpayer carrying the financial burden it leaves behind.
The purpose of the award winning 2030 Mobility Plan is to build upon existing policies through the adoption of land use and transportation policies that support mobility, in partnership with the effective application of a new transportation improvement and mitigation funding mechanism.
That funding mechanism, which replaced Jacksonville's broken Fair Share Agreement system, is known as the mobility fee. Using this dual approach to tackle the growth management challenges facing Jacksonville, the objectives of the 2030 Mobility Plan are as follows:
1. Support a variety of transportation modes
2. Reduce vehicle miles traveled
3. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
4. Promote a compact and interconnected land development form
5. Improve the health and quality of life for Jacksonville residents
With this in mind...
Three important benefits of the Mobility Plan on downtown revitalization

Eddie Van Halen Donates 75 Guitars to Los Angeles Schools
Everyone knows the guitar is the coolest instrument in the school band, but kids in the greater Los Angeles area now have even more incentive to pick up six-strings. As AntiMusic reports, Eddie Van Halen has given the local public schools 75 axes from his personal collection. He made his donation via the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation, a charity that supports music-education efforts around the country.
"Music is the universal language," Van Halen said in a statement. "It has the ability to transcend and convey every human emotion that exists without saying a word. Music kept me off the streets and out of trouble and gave me something that was mine that no one could take away from me. Music education and families are dealing with the economic times, and I wanted to help them."
Since its founding in 1996, the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation has distributed thousands of instruments and partnered with more than 1,100 school music programs nationwide. While the press release doesn't specify what types of guitars Eddie offered up, it's possible some lucky youngsters are going to get their hands on his signature paint-splattered "Frankenstrats."
"If I can help a kid discover a liking, or even a passion for music in their life, then that's a wonderful thing," Van Halen went on to say in his statement. "Music has provided a good life for me and hopefully it can help make life better for others with this donation."

So, whereas in an earlier post I mentioned that drilling your derailleur isnt going to turn your behemoth cyclocross bike into a lightweight wonder, it could help you drop that last 1/4 to 1/2 pound off your already light rig, and it might not cost you a ton of money either.
Covered in this post will be bolt tuning as well as switching out some common but heavier items in favor of something else. One caveat to everything about reducing weight is that durable and tough bikes are faster bikes than light bikes that break. Cause you gotta finish a race, and even if you have a backup bike, it probably wont break right at the pit. And obviously, durable AND light bikes are most desirable.
Bolt tuning refers to replacing heavy steel bolts with lighter aluminum or titanium bolts. The main reason why a stock bike or stock components come with steel bolts is that steel is much cheaper than titanium and slightly cheaper than aluminum. For the most part, you dont need steel bolts anywhere on your bike. Titanium is a lighter (however, costlier) option. And there are only two places where you need the strength of titanium rather than aluminum, thats the stem bolts and the seatpost (also I've never had good luck with aluminum brake cable stop or derailleur cable bolts). Aluminum is a great material for many bolts on your bike, because its lighter than ti or steel, and cheaper than titanium (also it comes in rad colors). Places where aluminum bolts are good are:
cantilever brake mounts
derailleur pulley bolts
chainring bolts
bottom bracket bolts
water bottle mount (see more info below on plastic plugs)
I've taken some pictures of these items on gram scale to show how much weight can be saved from switching from steel to aluminum or ti (Blogger isnt letting me load anymore pictures than those below).
First lets look at water bottle bolts.
A pair of steel waterbottle bolts weigh in at 6.5 grams.
The aluminum equivalent weighs over 4 grams lighter at 2.3 grams.
And heres the lightest and even the cheapest option. Plastic plugs weigh in at .4 grams and cost me 50 cents at my local hardware store. They only come in white, but if you wanted, you could spray them black or whatever color you wanted really.
|Water bottle
|Stem bolts
|11 (not aluminum though--ti)
|bottom bracket
Some other light choices are:
Carbon steering tube spacers save 2.8 grams per 10 mm over aluminum.
My Chris King topcap with steel bolt weighs 17.3 grams. You could either replace the steel bolt with an aluminum one, but a cheaper and lighter option would be to put a beer bottle cap (2.2 grams) in its place or a carbon topcap that presses into place (like those made by Schmolke---but you can make these at home fairly easily)
Lastly, instead of using a front cable hanger (30.3 grams) that you'll find on 99.5% of all cyclocross bikes out there. Use a rear cable hanger (4.2 grams after i "tuned" it a bit) thats bolted onto the stem's faceplate.
So let me get out the calculator and do some math on how much weight we saved:
-12.2 grams for the waterbottle mount (ill assume you have two of them)
-8.7 grams for the ti stem bolts
-15.9 grams for chainring bolts
-18.7 grams for the bottom bracket bolts
-15.1 grams for the Topcap switch
-26.1 grams for the front cable hanger
-11.2 grams for the carbon spacers (assuming you have 40mm of spacers)
=107.9 grams.
And I didnt even include the aluminum cantilever brake mount bolts (which might be another 20 grams) That brings you to 1/4 pound lighter. So, if youre out of options or dont want to throw down several hundred dollars for a lighter component, some small upgrades like those above can actually make a difference. And some of the options above are almost free.

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
Still not convinced that you want to watch Hugh Jackman training a robot to beat another robot into spare parts in Real Steel? This featurette may go a long way towards winning you over. It basically narrates the entire movie's story, and shows both the brutality and the heart-warming cuteness of this robot film.
And you get to see just how they used motion-capture for the robot-boxing scenes, and how legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard choreographed the fights. You have to admit after watching this sucker that watching Hugh Jackman, Kate from Lost and Hugh's long lost kid rescue a robot from the scrapyard and turn it into the come-from-behind, underbot champion is pretty sweet.
Real Steel comes out October 7.

The Southeastern Conference has unveiled its nine-bowl lineup for 2014 and new plan to assign teams to six of those games.
The new agreement coincides with the start of the College Football Playoff and extends for six years.
The order of importance for SEC teams will begin with the four-team playoff and is followed by the Sugar Bowl and the Orange Bowl, in selected years. The Capital One Bowl would have its pick of the remaining teams. Then, the SEC will assign teams to a six-bowl lineup that includes the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla., (vs. Big Ten), Music City Bowl in Nashville (vs. ACC/Big Ten), Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla., (vs. ACC/Big Ten), Liberty Bowl in Memphis (vs. Big 12), the Texas Bowl in Houston (vs. Big 12) and Belk Bowl in Charlotte, N.C. (vs. ACC).
The Texas and Belk bowls are new to the SEC's bowl lineup.
The Cotton Bowl - which has had a long history with Arkansas - will longer be part of the SEC's bowl tie-ins. It will be part of the College Football Playoff instead.
"We are pleased to have established a lineup of premier bowl games that will give our student-athletes a wonderful post-season experience and our fans the opportunity to travel to venues in the geographical footprint of the conference," SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said in a news release.
Assigning SEC teams to those six games is a change from previous years.
Previously, bowls were in charge of selections and chose teams based on an established pecking order.
"This bowl process gives us the best opportunity to address several issues that impact SEC fans, including the creation of intriguing matchups, the accommodation of travel for fans, reduced ticket obligations for our schools and a variety of assignments to help prevent repetitive postseason destinations," Slive said.
The SEC also announced it has renewed its relationship with the Birmingham Bowl and Advocare V100 Bowl in Shreveport, La., (vs. ACC).
Those bowls will make their SEC selection – if there are available bowl eligible teams — after assignments are handed out by the conference.
Impressive pass pro
Freshman Denver Kirkland hasn't worked his way into the starting lineup after one week of preseason camp. But Kirkland has made an impression on his head coach.
"Denver Kirkland is probably the most efficient pass pro freshman I've ever seen," Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said. "He may be one of the best on our team. His feet are incredibly gifted. He weighs 350, about 348 he told me he was down to (Friday).
"I'm just blown away by his athleticism and what he can do."
The 6-foot-5 Kirkland is lining up with the second-team offense. Bielema already has said the Miami native and offensive tackle Dan Skipper are among the 10 freshmen he expects to play right away this season.
"Dan's probably a little more advanced in the run game," Bielema said.
Backup QB derby
Even though Brandon Allen has secured the No. 1 spot at quarterback, Arkansas is still working to sort out the rest of its depth chart at the position.
Junior AJ Derby worked with the second-team offense throughout the team's first scrimmage, while Brian Buehner earned third-team work. Austin Allen and Damon Mitchell didn't step on the field until late in the scrimmage.
Bielema said Derby "performed well" in completing 9 of 19 passes for 106 yards, showing improvement from the spring. So he said Derby remains the backup to Allen as the Razorbacks enter the second week of preseason camp.
"We didn't give the two freshmen a lot of reps in front of you guys, but they've gotten a lot of reps during the course of the week," Bielema said. "I'm very excited about it. AJ's got (No. 2), but there's not a distant third. I think they're a close third."
Arkansas No. 10 in apparel sales
The Razorbacks may not be ranked in preseason polls, but the Arkansas athletic department cracked the top 10 in one area for 2012-13
Arkansas is ranked 10th in Collegiate Licensing Company's (CLC) list of top-selling institutions. It was the program's highest ranking since becoming a CLC-represented institution in 1988. The rankings reflect royalties reported between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013 on all merchandise sold on behalf of CLC-represented institutions.
Texas was ranked No. 1 on the CLC list for the eighth straight year and was followed by Alabama, Notre Dame, Michigan, Kentucky, LSU, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Arkansas. Six SEC schools were among the top 10 in apparel sales and there were 11 ranked in the top 20 (Texas A&M –No. 12, Tennessee – No. 15, South Carolina – No. 16, Auburn – No. 18, and Missouri – No. 20).

For many of San Diego's schoolchildren, going hungry is a stark reality. That's why in 2007 the San Diego Food Bank created the Food 4 Kids Backpack Program which provides chronically hungry elementary school students with food-filled backpacks for the weekend.
Today, I'm asking you to help the San Diego Food Bank and their Food 4 Kids Backpack Program.
Here's how the program works: Although qualifying children receive free or reduced-cost school lunches, many of them don't have enough food to eat over weekends and school holidays. So every Friday, these students are given a backpack filled with non-perishable child-friendly foods.
During the 2008-2009 school year, the program served just 200 children in eight schools throughout San Diego County. They are now serving 550 children in 19 schools and are looking to expand that to 850 children this year.
Last year, San Diego food writer, Caron Golden (San Diego Food Stuff), and food blogger, Alice Robertson (Alice Q. Foodie), launched a fundraiser for the Food 4 Kids Backpack Program. They collected over $6,000 and 1,200 pounds of food, plus scores of backpacks.
It's time for the second fundraiser, and I'm happy to be on this year's committee. We're holding the fundraiser over the summer (August 21st) so that the money, food, and backpacks we collect can help enroll more students and schools at the beginning of the school year.
In addition to Caron, Alice, and me, our wonderful committee includes local chefs Diane Stopford and Amiko Gubbins, PR maven Peyton Robertson of Bay Bird PR, and NBC San Diego anchor/reporter Catherine Garcia.
The fundraiser has three parts and three ways you can help:
1. Monetary donations: We've set up a fundraising page at www.firstgiving.com/food4kids. You can make donations here, add comments, and keep track of our progress. This page runs through the end of August. And, thanks to NBC San Diego for contributing the 7 percent cut firstgiving.com takes of the total raised on the site so we don't lose any money you give!
2. Backpack and food donations: We are encouraging people to collect neutral backpacks (preferably logo-free, black or red one since those are the kids' favorite colors) and kid-friendly non-perishable foods such as applesauce, cereal, fruit and pudding cups, juice boxes, soup, and macaroni and cheese. The collection for this food and backpack drive will be at the Little Italy Mercato on Saturday, August 21.
3. Dining out donations: A "dollar-a-dish" event throughout the month of August. Over 40 San Diego restaurants will select one of their best selling dishes and for the month of August will contribute $1 for every dish sold.

natedurban necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 42 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
Concordia Building Company LLC. See http://www.concordiabuilding.com for existing logo.
We are a company that builds offices and helps people manage the real estate property that they own.
We have an unlimited general contractor's license in North Carolina.
Although we are general contractors, all our Managing Partners have advanced degrees in engineering. Our style is to be very relational. We serve clients best by ensuring that they know we listen to them & by keeping their properties in great shape.
Our 'trademark reputation' is that we can respond and complete jobs very quickly. Our workmanship is high quality, and we build to serve the budget and desires of the tenants.
We have grown quite quickly in the last couple years. We started as SHA Homes, and when we entered the commercial real estate market we abbreviated our name to SHAH. It was a clumsy name and we have focused more on our workmanship and scheduling abilities, and less on our marketing side. (see http://www.shahcommercial.com). Recently we acquired/merged another company, and brought on staff to strengthen our marketing. Therefore we now need to freshen up our logo, to be more presentable to existing and potential new clients.
The current logo for Concordia Building Company is shown on http://www.concordiabuilding.com.
We like the dusky blue color, and need the diamond/triangle shape since we have truck decals that will only be changed later.
Our clients: Property owners/managers use our company when they need an office built for new tenants. Our typical work includes building doctor's offices, lawyer's offices, banks, high-end engineering offices, marketing firms, pharmaceutical companies, college administration offices, hospital administration offices.
What the logo should convey:
1. People who see the logo should envision a General Contracting company who is highly educated, utilizes technology effectively, is timely.
2. A very professional white-collar image. Don't want people to think "bulldozer", rather they should think "project manager who has great connections to guys with bulldozers"
What qualities should the logo have:
1. Bold, but not overwhelming
2. Clean, sophisticated, with depth
3. Up-to-date but not too trendy. (Need to give sense of long-term stability for real estate owners.)
Specs for the revamped logo to be:
1. High resolution formats to be provided: EPS, JPG
2. Uses of logo to include: business cards, letterhead, truck decals, T-shirts, brochures, printed materials.
3. Open to creativity, but need rebranding will be a year-long process & we want our current decals to have recognizable similarity.
4. Would be interested in logo options using only the word "Concordia", and also using "Concordia Building Company"

Rowling magic tales fetch $4.5m
A hand-written, illustrated book of wizardry by Harry Potter author JK Rowling fetched a record $4.54 million at auction in London, nearly 40 times its expected price.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard had been expected to go for up to A116,387 at the Sotheby's sale.
The buyer was from London dealer Hazlitt, Gooden and Fox, the auctioneer said.
"There was applause when it reached one million and more when it finished," a Sotheby's spokesman said. "Bidding lasted about 10 minutes with four or five bidders in the room and the same number on the phones."
The price is the highest ever achieved at auction for a modern literary manuscript, an auction record for a work by JK Rowling, and an auction record for a children's book.
All proceeds from the sale will go to The Children's Voice, a charity Rowling co-founded in 2005 to help vulnerable children across Europe.
The Tales of Beedle the Bard are mentioned in the last Potter book as having been left to Harry's friend Hermione by their teacher Albus Dumbledore.
Of the five stories in the book only one, The Tale of the Three Brothers, is told in the Potter novels, appearing in the final Potter book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard is really a distillation of the themes found in the Harry Potter books, and writing it has been the most wonderful way to say goodbye to a world I loved and lived in for 17 years," Rowling wrote in the sale catalogue.
There are just seven copies of the Tales, bound in brown leather and decorated in silver and moonstones. Six have been given to people closely connected to the Harry Potter books.
The seventh was auctioned today.

Hello, I-Team. Today's case involves this pantless gentleman you see before you. Who is he? Where are his pants? Why is he staring daggers at Chilly? Seriously, where are his pants?
After some cursory research, it could—emphasis squarely on could—be Dennis Polian , assistant to head coach Brad Childress. That would explain the dagger-filled stare because, really, can you imagine having to be Brad Childress's coffee jockey? The worst. But, being someone's assistant is no excuse to be pantsless.
So, I-Team, do what it is that you do. Find this man and, if time permits, his pants. Actually, any pants will do. We just need to get some pants on this guy, since it's so cold in Minnesota and all.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. We have successfully navigated another Hump Day.

Nobuyoshi Araki's photography has drawn worldwide attention notably for its erotic content, which blurs the lines between art and pornography. Arguably heralded as Japan's foremost contemporary photographer, he is possibly also the most controversial.
In composing this series, Bokuju Kitan / Marvellous Tales of Black Ink, Araki selected 88 images from his 30 years worth of Kinbaku work and hand-painted calligraphy on each photograph.
Born in 1940, Araki belongs to a generation of artists who surfaced in the late sixties whilst Japan was experiencing radical economic growth and urbanisation post recovery from the Second World War. Photography was evolving rapidly both in its traditional guises such as photojournalism and advertising as well as an art. Araki studied photography at college, later working at Dentsu advertising agency where he met his late wife YMko.Araki has published over 350 books, including Sentimental Journey, Tokyo Lucky Hole, Winter Journey and Shino. His photography resides in many public and private collections.

Package Sewage Treatment Plant's (or PSTP's) are regularly an appropriate choice where groundwater in the vicinity of the environment is powerless, seepage field permeation qualities are prohibitive, or direct release to waterway or surface water sewer is the preferred release technique.
Notwithstanding the anaerobic absorption occurring in the essential settlement tank (as septic tanks) the Ensign unit permits the cleared up water to go into a second "air circulation" chamber where it is dealt with to expel the broken up constituents. Here oxygen consuming microscopic organisms, upheld by diffused air and versatile media, guarantee full treatment is accomplished before the treated emanating (and 'sloughed off' microscopic organisms) stream to a last settlement chamber before release.

HHCom 11
After graduating from college, Julie Greene and Joshua Towne are hiking the A.T. as a prelude to their wedding. While making their way across Maine's Hundred Mile Wilderness, they find a stranger's journal inside a shelter. The couple decides to take the diary with them, not knowing it is the sole companion of the forest's most dangerous inhabitant. The owner of the journal is a savage recluse, a wild man who has turned his back on society. In the woods people rarely cross his path, but when they do, he recounts the violent results in his diary. If these confessions were to leave the forest, he knows his solitary life would come to an end.
When the wild man discovers his journal is missing, he begins to stalk Julie and Josh. He follows them for twenty-four hours, attacking them and setting traps along the trail. They realize they must escape at the next river crossing or spend another night in the forest without shelter. The final showdown at White House Landing determines whether the couple survives or suffers an agonizing end.
You're giving a rundown of plot rather than a reason to read it. And remember, the idea that the couple suffers an agonizing end is rather appealing when you're reading the slush pile. In a query letter, I'm not emotionally invested in whether they survive unless you've given me a hint they are..yanno...poodle lovers or something.
Besides, being stalked by a feral stranger who just happens to leave his journal in a shelter along the Appalachian Trail requires more suspension of disbelief than my hammock can handle.

I think the savage recluse in this hook is responsible for the deaths of the authors in the last hook. Just my theory.
- 12/15/2006
- Rashenbo said...
Lol, seanachie... combined together that probably could make an interesting little tale.
- 12/15/2006
I don't usually read stuff like this, but the hook had me hooked. Good luck!

Try this:
While hiking on the Appalacian rail, Julie and Joshua find a stranger's journal and take it. Unknown to them, it belongs to a psychotic killer, a savage recluse, a wild man who kills anyone crossing his path and then recounts the deaths in his diary. In the 24 hours that follow, Julie and Joshua must battle traps, pitfalls and things (you can fix that) set by the psychopathic stranger.
and this still needs an ending sentence to clinch it.

Consider what effect being hunted would have on Julie and Joshua. Would they cooperate? Would they separate. If Joshua has a fear of heights, would he be able to climb the tree to set a trap for psycho Grizzly Adams?
How feral would they get to defend themselves?
- 12/16/2006
- Kim said...
Um... why wouldn't the wild man just find another place on the Trail to live? And where is he getting his paper and pen or pencils?
Just curious

This is the kinda story that scares the bejesus out of me. I still get nightmares from that banjo music in "Deliverence." This is a...good premise. I wish you luck. But I have to ask - how do you sleep at night?
- 12/17/2006
- Benja Fallenstein said...
I think I could accept the conceit on this one. But like Miss Snark, I don't care about the characters. And the plot doesn't make me care about the book, because it doesn't stand out from so many similar plots.
You have the form of the hook right. For what it's worth, I think you should think about why the reader should care about this book and revise the hook based on that.
I think that in this case it's probably the interesting characters that are missing, not something about the plot. But I don't read this genre much, so take this for what it's worth :-)
- 12/17/2006
I liked it but suspense/thrilllers aren't really my genre.
- 12/17/2006
Clearly the pens and paper come from the authors he murders. He stalks another every time his supplies are getting low.
This isn't my genre, but it may have potential. Please rework the hook, as every sentence is similar. Clause A is followed by a comma, and then comes Clause B. You get the idea, I don't like the rhythm.
- 12/18/2006
- Joel Hebert said...
Is it possible to make a reader care about characters within the limited confines of a short hook? How would one do that-"Julie, who treated old people with kindess and tutored juvenile arsonists in her spare time, was now being chased by a backcountry savage." Any thoughts?
- 12/18/2006
- Kim said...
Oy - I never thought of stealing pens and papers from the authors...
wildman goes on killing spree - for supplies...
details at eleven.

Dear Lazy Environmentalist,
What are some good gadgets for enjoying the great outdoors?
Ahh, the great outdoors. That bastion of bugs, bites and restless nights in cramped tents. For me, it's enough just to know that Mother Nature is out there, but for others who need the real thing, I suggest packing along an array of Freeplay Energy productsfor your campsite. Freeplay is a U.K.-based provider of radios, lanterns and flashlights that have regenerative energy sources built in. With integrated solar panels and hand cranks, you never have to worry about dead batteries when trekking in the wilderness — though if you happen upon an electric outlet, you can recharge the internal batteries and run your Freeplay products using the AC adapter.
The Freeplay Eyemax radio offers impressive sound quality in a sleek compact design that doubles as an LED flashlight. Leave it in the sun to charge up or turn the hand crank for 30 seconds to get 30 minutes of light and radio pleasure. The Freeplay Summit is a multiband global radio and alarm clock that offers the same self-sufficient energy technology as the Eyemax and when fully charged can play continuously for 20 hours.
Let's say you're already an eco-enlightened adherent of digital convergence — the rapidly advancing technological trend enabling single electronic devices to perform multiple functions that formerly required multiple products. You depend on an all-in-one gadget like the iPhone for GPS navigation, phone calls, emails, surfing the Web, listening to MP3s, taking photos and shooting videos. To keep your all-purpose gadget consistently charged and at the ready, turn to a Voltaic Systems backpack or attachable daypack. Voltaic Systems offers a line of bags that are embedded with solar panels and which feature a battery that stores the sun's energy. Each pack also comes with a wide assortment of plug tips that can be fitted to virtually any handheld device. Sleekly designed and built to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, Voltaic Systems bags provide an elegant solution for powering up with nothing more than a bit of daylight.
Convenient plug-charge-and-play capability is enabled with cords that are woven through the pack's shell, which makes charging up as easy as placing your cell phone or iPod inside the shoulder strap pouch. "This is wearable electronics — where the electronics are fully integrated in a seamless way," explains company founder Shayne McQuade. "You will see things like an LED charge indicator light integrated into the logo that it actually lights up when the panels are collecting the sun's energy. We're aiming for a full integration of textile and electronics." The Voltaic Systems line of backpacks, daypacks and messenger bags are built with padding to protect laptops and other valuables, as well as plentiful pockets and storage compartments. A messenger bag,aptly dubbed the Generator and capable of powering a laptop, was recently released and is available directly through the Voltaic Systems site.
Other portable solar power options include the line of Reware Juice backpacks and messengers, which are equipped with solar panels and Reware Power Pockets — travel-sized solar panels that are capable of delivering up to 12 watts of power, enough to power some small laptops — and can be easily folded and stowed away. When folded, Power Pockets measure five inches wide, nine inches long and three-quarters of an inch thick, and weigh less than a pound, making them your convenient energy accessory.
Or opt for a tent with solar panels like the Eureka Solar Intent, which is roomy enough to sleep up to six. The Solar Intent comes with an LED light source and rechargeable batteries that can illuminate the tent's interior for up to eight hours when fully charged. It might not deliver enough light to comfortably read, but it will prevent you from stomping on your brother's head when heading out to relieve yourself in the middle of the night.

A "wee dram" enhances the lovely filling.
- Yield
- Makes 8 servings
- Crust
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons (about) chilled whipping cream
- Filling
- 5 cups (about 1 1/2 pounds) 1-inch pieces rhubarb
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons whisky
- 8 ounces high-quality white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon whipping cream beaten with 2 teaspoons sugar (for glaze)
- Whipped cream
- For crust:
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in processor; blend 5 seconds. Add butter. Using on/off turns, process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon cream in small bowl to blend; add to flour mixture. Using on/off turns, blend until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more cream by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball. Shape 2/3 of dough into disk; shape remaining dough into rectangle. Wrap both dough pieces and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
- For filling:
- Combine rhubarb, sugar, and whisky in large skillet. Sauté over medium heat until sugar dissolves and syrup begins to bubble. Cover and simmer until rhubarb is almost tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer contents of skillet to strainer set over large bowl (reserve skillet). Drain rhubarb well. Return juices from bowl to same skillet. Boil over medium-high heat until juices are reduced to 3 tablespoons, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and reserve juices.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough rectangle on lightly floured surface to 91/2-inch square; cut into 9 strips. Arrange strips on small baking sheet; chill.
- Roll out dough disk on lightly floured surface to 11-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim overhang to 3/4 inch. Fold in and press sides until top edge of crust is slightly higher than pan side. Pierce crust with fork. Line with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crust until sides are set, about 18 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake until crust is pale golden, pressing with back of fork if crust bubbles, about 15 minutes longer. Cool crust 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle white chocolate over crust. Top with rhubarb. Spoon juices over. Arrange 5 dough strips atop filling, spacing evenly apart. Arrange remaining strips atop filling in opposite direction, forming lattice. Seal ends of strips to crust, trimming excess dough. Brush lattice with glaze.
- Bake tart until filling bubbles and lattice is golden, about 50 minutes. Cool tart slightly in pan on rack. Push up pan bottom, releasing tart. Cut tart into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream.
Market tip:
If the rhubarb stalks at your market are mostly green, buy a few extra and use only the bright red parts to measure five cups. Red rhubarb will give the tart the prettiest color.

- Universidad Cardenal Herrera SML House Solar Decathlon EuropeUniversidad Cardenal Herrera University CEU in Valencia, Spain is entering Solar Decathlon Europe for the second time, improving on its SML (Small/Medium/Large) system from 2010. The concept reminds us of Lego, because the house is constructed from fairly simple individual prefabricated blocks, which can be added together and customized over time. Using locally-sourced timber to create the basic frames, a PV array and carefully considered temperature regulation methods, and extremely efficient appliances, the team hopes to create a customizable house that will last a lifetime.1
- Universidad Cardenal Herrera SML House Solar Decathlon EuropeIn terms of sustainability, the team have looked at every aspect of materials and resources used in construction and then in the expected life-cycle of the building, taking into account minimising waste via prefabrication, utilising sustainable materials, maximising what can be recycled, reducing construction time and then attempting to reduce every aspect of a traditional houses energy use.2
- Universidad Cardenal Herrera SML House Solar Decathlon EuropeThe design entered into this years competition represents the "medium" design, so the students can show both how the original blocks fit together, and how the house could be further extended.3
- Universidad Cardenal Herrera SML House Solar Decathlon EuropeThey have worked on an easily replicated design for the individual modules that are prefabricated in their workshop, but aim to show how the interiors can be customised. In this way, the client can play an increased role in the designs for the final building. Each block comes equipped with a solar array, and therefore the electrical output increases as the house grows, thus continuing to match the residents energy requirements.4
- Universidad Cardenal Herrera SML House Solar Decathlon EuropeThey have designed a CAES system (Computer Aided Energy Saving), that assists residents by scheduling when to use the household appliances. For example this includes using the washing machine or dishwasher during the day to run directly from the solar panels, so as not to run off the battery storing electricity required at night time while also making the most of solar heated hot water, thus making a double saving on more conventional systems. They also intend to regulate the LED lighting throughout the house, providing the optimal amount of light required at any given time.5
- Universidad Cardenal Herrera SML House Solar Decathlon EuropeA grey-water recycling system will be integrated into the design to make best use of precious resources. By collecting used water from the kitchen and bathroom and filtering this to be re-used for toilet flushing and for watering the garden a further saving is made. The house also utilises passive strategies to regulate room temperature, referred to as HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning). The designers have considered strategies including orientation of the building, the use of thermal mass flooring, solar protection and gain as well as natural ventilation.6
- Universidad Cardenal Herrera SML House Solar Decathlon EuropeThe European Solar Decathlon begins next week and Inhabitat will report from site to see these designs in operation.7

Well, it was over a month behind, and I know it, but the comic is up and I colored it in hopes that you folk would forgive me for the sin of not updating.
The problem is that college comes first, you see, and it's nearing finals time. I have been working on that particular strip for *ages* now--I just didn't have time to finish it, what with tests seemingly once every week and papers to write in between tests.
I've learned much on coloring techniques--the hard way. Consequentially, subsequent strips should mostly be colored.
Because this semester is nearly over, I will try to once again update the comic more regularly.
Sorry again for not having done so before.
By the way, the strip after the next one should be the restart point. I'm going to start writing scripts for them, so that they make more sense when I draw them. Hopefully this will help you understand the comics better in the future, without my having to explain them.
