<p>Desde videocopilot, Designer Sound Fx, una libreria de sonidos que pueden llegar a ser útiles. En esta entrega les dejo 2 de las 5 categorías que contiene el pack completo. Estas son las que mas pueden ayudarles a reforzar algun trabajo. Luego subo las demás. La idea es tener la opcion de descargar por carpeta, y no tener que descargar todo el pack cuando realmente vamos a usar solo un par de sonidos.</p>
<p>Sonidos de <strong>Impactos</strong> para mmm ¿describir impactos? :D....y <strong>Swishes</strong> para reforzar movimientos de objetos o cámara por ejemplo.-</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?dgy2nzimnty">Descarga <strong>IMPACTOS</strong> acá</a><br />

<description><![CDATA[In one of my more recent blogs, I wanted the readers to vote on the &#8216;Ugliest Cards From the 80]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In one of my more recent blogs, I wanted the readers to vote on the 'Ugliest Cards From the 80's'.  You can read that blog <a href="http://bapple2286.wordpress.com/2008/08/21/cast-your-vote-ugliest-card-from-the-1980s/">here</a>.  The 1983 Fleer card was the biggest loser, and it was for good reason.</p>
<p>But the more I began to think about this, one of my readers(Gerad) mentioned the 1982 Fleer set because it lacked the Fleer logo.  Initially it didn't effect me, but his comment makes complete sense to me now.</p>
<p>Check out a sample:</p>
<p><a href="http://bapple2286.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/cr.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-505" src="http://bapple2286.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/cr.jpg" alt="" width="296" height="400" /></a></p>
<p>OK.  I work for a direct-to-consumer company.  I have worked there for 8 years and prior to that I was in retail management for another 7 years.  I think I have a pretty good understanding of customer expectations due to my personal experience.</p>
<p><strong>Branding is everything!!!</strong>  It really is just that simple.  This card illustrates the exact opposite.  Nowhere on the front of the card do you see the Fleer logo.  Nowhere on the front of the card do you see the team's logo.  The front of the card is as important as the window of a department store.  It's a tool that should be used to draw in the customer and Fleer did not do this.  Signs, banners, logos, and color all get attention.  It's clear that Fleer(wow that rhymes) had a license to produce items with MLB logos otherwise Ripken's logo on his jersey and hat would have been removed.  But to not include them in the design of the card is just plain dumb.</p>
<p><strong>The logo means everything</strong>.  Picture Nike without the Swoosh.  Picture Coca-Cola cans without their famous script signature.  Hell, picture Coors beer without the Rocky Mountains in the background.  All of these companies use specific logos and placement with their products.  Even if it is not the thing that draws you in, you subconsciously see the logo and are comforted that you are dealing with a quality product.</p>
<p>The problem is that these companies are and have been well established.  Fleer on the other hand was in it's infancy stage in the early 80's and should not have abandoned the logo they used in 1981, or at least used a new one with the 1982 issue.  This card reminds me of a plain business card with black type.  No frills, nothing fancy... There is nothing to draw you in.  There is no connection to a team.  How did they expect to captivate an audience and pull people towards their product and away from the competition?</p>
<p>What I am saying here is not news.  This is common practice in the Advertising and Marketing world.  Brand recognition is the most important thing to offer any consumer and Fleer failed miserably...</p>
<p>Thanks again Gerad for shining a light on the 'Ultimate Dud', 1982 Fleer.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, so I went to Old Navy on Thursday and picked up some jeans and a couple pair of pants. I'm wearing my black ones today and I feel like George on Seinfeld when he had that noisy suit. I'm whooshing all over the place. It's really annoying, but slightly funny!</p>
<p>Nothing really new has been going on. I'm still working all the time and I'm so exhausted. All I want to do is sleep. I'm still addicted to Flickr in every way and feel like I need to check it every two seconds. I was babysitting my mom's bird, Pip, for a week or so and she finally came and picked him up on Saturday. Thank the heavens! I love him, but he is so loud. And he bites. I also ended up entering this contest for Belfort Furniture for the ugliest couch. The couch I have now my mom got when we lived in Florida. Which was....1988. And right now, it's being held together by tape and a dream. It's ripped apart on the side from where my cat used it as a scratching post and you need the jaws of life to get back off the couch one you sit down. It's covered by a slipcover at the moment, but it would be great to win, so I wouldn't have to invest in a new couch myself.</p>
<p>I'm still waiting for my copy of <em>Breaking Dawn</em> to come in. I'm dying to read it!</p>
<p>Ok, gotta get back to work.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are the words found at the end of my instructions to my sister, to be used when I'm at the end of my rope (literally).</p>
<p>Having watched my mother's dragging along for several months caught up in the end stages of Altzheimer's, I wanted it known beyond a doubt exactly what I want to have happen to me in the event I ever end up in that or a similar situation, for any reason.</p>
<p>The complete quote?</p>
<p>"Bring me a constant flow of tasty alcoholic drinks, and keep giving them to me until I'm no longer able to keep my eyes open and I enter REM state (or perhaps I should say RUM state). Anyway, after a few minutes have gone by, take a large soft pillow and press it down tightly over my face and hold it there until I stop kicking. And then, keep the pressure on for at least five more minutes to be sure it's done. Finally, wait for a few hours to go by before calling the paramedics and reporting that you just came over to visit and found that I'm not breathing.</p>
<p>Not much room for ex-post-facto after thoughts on this, as they say in those old shoe ads, "Just do it".</p>
<p>Swoosh!, and I've left the planet.....</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>?uest has done it, collabing with Nike on a new AF1 slated to start dropping the first of August, hitting unspecified Nike Retailers 8/16. I can only hope my favorite Nike spot will be getting a few. There's heavy use of the elephant print, but the colors are great. It's got a nice little watermelon feel to it,and the gold swoosh makes it official. A damn good album and a damn good kick by a damg good musician, '08 has been ?ues' year so far. Peep the steps, G.

Tres años después <em>Phil Knight</em> conoce a <em><a title="Art�culo de la Wikipedia sobre Carolyn Davidson diseñadora del logo de Nike Inc" href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolyn_Davidson" target="_blank">Carolyn Davidson</a></em> en la universidad del estado de Portland, donde él daba clases de contabilidad y ella estudiaba diseño gráfico. Le ofreció 2 dolares a la hora para que realizase diseños para sus zapatillas. Tiempo después le encargó el diseño del logo para su incipiente empresa, precisando que necesitaba algo que sugiriera movimiento.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><img style="margin-right:20px;float:left;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Bronze_Nike_Louvre_Br1679.jpg/180px-Bronze_Nike_Louvre_Br1679.jpg" alt="Niké, Diosa griega de la Victoria" width="180" height="211" />Después de entregarle varios bocetos, ninguno llegó a convencerle, pero debido a que necesitaba elegir un logo para las cajas que estaban esperando para ser impresas, se decanto por uno de ellos señalando que con el tiempo seguro que le acabaría gustando. El <em>Swoosh</em>, que es como se denomina el emblema, representa el ala de la diosa griega <em>Niké</em>. <em>Carolyn Davidson</em> cobraría por este trabajo la irrisoria cantidad de 35 dólares.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Debido al crecimiento exponencial de la empresa, <em>Phil Knigh</em> quiso reconocer el trabajo de <em>Carolyn Davidson</em> por el diseño del <em>Swoosh</em> y en 1983 le invitó a una cena donde le regaló un anillo de diamantes con el símbolo de <em>Nike</em> y acciones de la compañía por un valor desconocido hasta el momento.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Tytuł:</b> <i>No logo</i><br />
<b>Autor:</b> Naomi Klein<i><br />
</i><b>Wydawnictwo:</b> Świat literacki<br />
<b>Przekład:</b> Hanna Pustuła<br />
<b>ISBN-10:</b> 83-88612-77-8</p>
<p>Zastanawia mnie dlaczego współczesna literatura "zaangażowana" jest tak okrutnie przegadana. Lawina mało istotnych dla całości faktów, jaką zalewany jest czytelnik powoduje, że książka jest w wielu miejscach nudna i właściwie 'nieczytata'. A szkoda! Szkoda gdyż porusza kwestie bardzo istotne. Kwestie, które - wedle mojej oceny - dotyczą w jakiejś mierze także Polski przedostatniej dekady.</p>
<p>Omijanie przepisów pracy, praca niewolnicza, praca dzieci, morderstwa popełniane przez dzieci za cenę śmierdzącej tenisówki a w wszystko w teatrzyku wyreżyserowanym przez grubo opłacanych speców od reklamy i brandingu. Rzeczywistość przerażająca, rzeczywistość prawdziwa.</p>
<p>We fragmentach, w których książka nie porusza takich tematów, mówi o pustyni kulturalnej tworzonej przez współczesne przedsiębiorstwa starające się jedynie zwiększyć swoje dochody poprzez intensyfikacje działalności ideologicznej - czy jak woli autorka "brandingu".</p>
<p>Na pewno jest to historia chciwości. Chciwości niematerialnego bytu zwanego korporacją.... czyli maszyną która w sposób niemalże idealny postępuje ścieżką chciwość, ścieżką "liczy się tylko zysk".</p>
<p>Praca edytorska niestety niedokładna i brzydka choć samo tłumaczenie nie wzbudzało we mnie odczuć negatywnych... nie przeszkadzało w czytaniu co uważam za pozytywną cechę.</p>
<p>Wydanie potworne.., miękki, po-tekturowy papier. Druk tak drobny, że gdyby zmniejszyli czcionkę o 1 punkt to potrzebny byłby mikroskop aby odczytać tekst. W połączeniu z szerokim formatem strony i rozmiarem dzieła, czyniło to techniczną funkcję czytania bardzo męczącą.</p>
<p>Jeśli ktoś ma ochotę poczytać jak brzmi amerykańska wersja komunistycznej/socjalistycznej nowomowy, także powinien sięgnąć po tą pozycję. Ale czytanie jej do dechy do dechy chyba nie ma sensu.</p>
<p>Dodatkowym smaczkiem jest fakt, iż autorka musi zmagać się z faktem, iż tytuł jej książki sam stał się czymś w rodzaju logo.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is in response to Sean <span>François' </span>post at <a href="http://sportscandor.blogspot.com" target="_blank">sportscandor.blogspot.com</a>.  He posted in response to a <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120303911940170393.html?mod=hpp_us_inside_today" target="_blank">Wall Street Journal article</a> I sent him on Nike's move into corporate responsibility and environmentalism.</p>
<p>Check <a href="http://sportscandor.blogspot.com/2008/02/back-in-day-when-i-was-young-im-not-kid.html" target="_blank">his post</a> and then read mine.</p>
<p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p>
<p>Who are you kidding, Sean?!!?  When you were a kid Nike was called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_ribbon_sports" target="_blank">Blue Ribbon Sports</a>!  j/k  You're not that old.  And if you were, I wouldn't be saying nothin'.  &#60;smirk&#62;</p>
<p>I appreciated your post.  I am with you on the Nike link to childhood.  I did not become loyal until after my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reebok_Pump" target="_blank">Dee Brown Pumps</a> phase, but none-the-less I have donated my fair share. And I know for sure that the book "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Just-Do-Spirit-Corporate-World/dp/1558504796/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1203290009&#38;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Just Do It - The Nike Spirit in the Corporate World</a>", read during High School, shaped some of my thoughts on how to approach business.</p>
<p>One of my disappointments with Nike over the years, including Mr. Knight and Mr. Jordan, was their ambivalence to the social issues surrounding their products.  They used their aggressive mentality in defending themselves, rather than on being social leaders.   I have never been one to oppose using the use of cheap labour, I am with <a href="http://select.nytimes.com/glogin?URI=http://select.nytimes.com/search/restricted/article&#38;OQ=_rQ3D1Q26resQ3DF40F17F93B5A0C718EDDAF0894DF494D81&#38;OP=312b03b3Q2FXFQ2AfXQ7DJGQ2A(TgX5Gp(AAQ7DWX(S5rJdQ2AASQ3AGQ2A5GQ2ATX(SGJ58Q2AQ3EA(0Q25rGg8" target="_blank">Jeffrey Sachs</a> on that one, but the workers conditions (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweatshop" target="_blank">sweatshops</a>), repeated company denials proved false and apparent policy of looking the other way were indefensible.  It is certainly nice to see them acknowledging their need to be responsible and lead the way.  And it is nice to see their move into environmentally conscious shoes fronted by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Nash" target="_blank">Steve Nash</a>.  He is a good Canadian sports role model and it's great that he took the initiative on this one.</p>
<p>Little known fact: the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nike_timeline" target="_blank">Nike Air system</a> for sneaker cushioning was developed by another company and sold to Nike.  That company offered the concept to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reebok" target="_blank">Reebok</a> first, but were rejected.</p>
<p>Second fact: Phil Knight purchased the Swoosh logo (the wing of Nike - the Greek goddess of Victory) and all usage rights from one of his students for a one time payment of $35US.</p>

<p><a title="logo nike" href="http://luisldg.wordpress.com/files/2008/01/logo-nike.png"></a>Unos 350 pesos mexicanos por el logotipo más reconocido y de mayor prestigio en el ámbito deportivo a nivel mundial. Tiempo después la diseñadora recibió de Phil Knight (fundador de Nike) una parte de las acciones de la empresa junto con un anillo con el Swoosh grabado en él.</p>

In this case, the selvage sits perfectly on the top of the midsoles and is complimented by the black denim and black leather body.  To add to already impressive design they topped it all off with a snakeskin swoosh.  <span>The final model will also be coming with </span><span><span><a href="http://starkslaces.com/">Starks Laces</a>, and <span>be soon released at </span><span><span><a href="http://www.royalefam.com/">Royalefam</a>.</span></span></span></span></p>

<p><img class="alignright" style="border:1px solid black;float:right;margin:8px;" src="http://www.aversion.com/news/images/061808_alkalinetrioshoe.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="152" /></p>
<p>So the emo/punk/rock band Alkaline Trio has <a href="http://www.aversion.com/news/news_article.cfm?news_id=10880" target="_blank">officially sold out</a> to the point where I don't think I will ever be able to hear one of their old songs without spitting.</p>
<blockquote><p>Because not enough people think "dark punk" when they think of overpriced athletic shoes, the Trio's teamed with Nike for to design a Trio-branded athletic shoe.</p></blockquote>
<p>Makes me want to fucking vomit.</p>
<p>It's one thing to license a song to a commercial to try and find a new audience. I may not like it, but I understand why bands do it. And in today's day and age, where art, design and commercialism all swim in the same lane at the pool, it's just another delivery system.</p>
<p>But teaming with <em>motherfucking Nike?</em> You have to be kidding me.</p>
<blockquote><p>"Seeing the swoosh and our logo on one product is unbelievable," singer/guitarist Matt Skiba said in a statement. "The shoe looks amazing and <strong>provides some insight into who we are.</strong>"</p></blockquote>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>Yeah, you are fucking sellout pieces of shit with no soul and now, every piece of "art" your goth pussy punk asses have ever written is <em>suspect</em>.<em> </em>Even the shit you did with Hot Water Music. Even their brilliant covers of your particular brand of gloomy medio-core punk are suspect.</p>
<p>We're on to you Alkaline Trio. And you will never get another <em>cent</em> from me.</p>
<p>Hell, I won't even <em>download</em> your new record.</p>
<p>This type of bullshit being passed off as punk rock means once again it is time for the streets to reach up and wipe clean the state of music today.</p>
<p>It’s the return of the fucking dinosaurs. These arena rock, make-up wearing side shows are exactly why the MC5 and the Ramones and the Pistols and the Clash had to destroy rock in order to recreate it. Then, when the spandex and the hair spray and the fucking make-up again grew too fucking big for it’s own good, Jane’s Addiction and the Pixies and Nirvana and Rage Against the Machine had to rise up and wipe the table clean again.</p>
<p>Well we’re back there again and this time it’s a fucking trojan horse. This time the make-up wearing arena-rock sellout whores are wearing punk rock’s clothes, thinking we might notice. It's individuality packaged and sold as a fucking uniform.</p>
<p>but Something New is very, very close.</p>
<p>And I guarantee it’s not wearing fucking Nikes.</p>

<p><strong>WTF?</strong> Are they really <strong>SERIOUS</strong>?</p>
<p>Come on!  This is really disgusting and unacceptable!</p>
<p>I suppose next they'll be saying that its an old Muslim tradition too, right?</p>
<p>Then she, Ms E.D. Hill,  <strong>ducks responsibility</strong> for her own words, blaming the whole thing on a "mischaracterization by the media".</p>
<p>And offers no <em><strong>r</strong><strong>eal</strong></em><strong> </strong>apology.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:left;"><em><strong>Isn't she part of the said media</strong></em>?</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">And isn't she the one <strong><em>who said what she said</em></strong>?    I didn't see her under any kind of duress...</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">What, does Fox News think that Trinidadian golfer <a title="Man with the black Nike Cap; upper right." href="http://www.pgatour.com/players/00/60/04/" target="_blank"><strong>Stephen Ames</strong> </a>is a terrorist, too?  He's on the upper right, wearing the black Nike cap with the white-looking swoosh.</p>

<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">Good news is that she got her show pulled from the air.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Bad news is she still works for Fox.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">As a matter of fact, the real Bad News is that ardent Fox viewers probably saw nothing wrong with what she said!</p>
