text: The Road Not Taken Part 1 - Peep is late arriving at Chirp's bush. Turns out he took a VERY long route to get there. (There's so much to look at!) The birds use yarn to mark the shortest path from Peep's can to Chirp's bush. The Road Not taken Part 2 - A path made of yarn has a way of disappearing, so Peep, Chirp and Quack make a NEW path using objects from Chirp's collection. It's a pretty path, too, because it's made in a pattern. But is sticking to a path always a good idea?

These supercomputers could be yours
A photo extravaganza
Other eye catchers
If memory is your bag, you want to check out StakTek. The company has an ArctiCore memory module that basically doubles memory density. StakTek packs memory on both sides of its product and can then fold the two sides together via a flexible membrane. It then uses a unique "aluminum core" heatsink to keep the products cool.
All photo credits go to Chris Hipp
You'll find more on the StakTek gear over here.
(Speaking of Arctic items, the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center is hiring. Those of you who share a love for Cray servers and Alaska might want to take a peek here. Tell them El Reg sent you and, if you take the job, invite us up for a visit.)
Another vendor firmly in the Opteron camp that had some cool systems was PogoLinux. It has made use of a popular blade server design with the Katana line. The box can be stacked with 24 Xeon chips or 24 dual-core Opterons. So that's 12 blades in a 4U package. All of the blades are stacked vertically and are easy to remove from the chassis. The design looks similar to the product made by Inventec.
The Verari BladeRack system - pictured below - garnered a bit of attention too. The standard BladeRack system can hold up to 88 AMD- or Intel-based servers in a 7 foot cabinet.
Blades, however, are so yesteryear. Maybe the personal cluster is more your thing. If so, here's the Penguin Computing box we discussed.
And here's the Orion Multisystems kit.
On the software front, ScaleMP gained some attention for its package that turns x86 systems into Unix-like SMP boxes. The company remains in stealth mode, which is laughable given that Rackable Systems is selling an 8-processor box with the software. We'd love to hear some reviews of the code, if any of you have played with it.
Wolfram has also put out a new Personal Grid Edition package that "combines the computational capabilities of Mathematica with high-level parallel language extensions to create an optimal computing framework for quad-core machines." The company claims up to 300 per cent performance improvements over standard Mathematica. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Unix operating systems in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors.
For some geek funk, head over to Wolfram's make your own ringtone web site.
To help out the biomolecular researcher crowd, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has become the first institution outside the UK to link up to the Biological Simulation Grid Consortium. The BioSimGrid connects scientists at Oxford, Southampton, Bristol, Birkbeck, Nottingham and York universities. Now the US will be sharing information as well.

What causes my mascara to crumble off?
Mascara dries out after about six weeks (even faster if it's waterproof or you forget to screw the top on tightly!), and that moisture loss leads to flaking. Watch out for volumizing formulas too, since they build up on lashes and the excess can fall off. Also, wiggle the brush at the roots and quickly sweep it through lashes to ensure you don't apply too much.

Richmond, California (EastBayDaily) — When Joel Behrman relocated to the Bay Area in 2000, the trumpeter/composer was intent on renewing his commitment to jazz. He'd completed his music degree at the University of Miami and worked a series of non-jazz gigs, in clubs and on the road, and as he continued his years of dues-paying in California he realized that, in jazz, the fundamental things apply: swing, the blues, connecting with the audience.
On his superb new debut recording, "Steppin' Back," Behrman and his band express those essential jazz values in a program of elegant originals interspersed with compositions by Ellington, Armstrong, and Joe Henderson. His collaborators represent the top tier of local players: bassist Marcus Shelby, one of San Francisco's most illustrious bandleaders and composers; in-demand pianist Matt Clark; drummer Howard Wiley (better known as a saxophonist); tenor saxophonist Dayna Stephens, a Berkeley High grad who lives in New York but maintains close ties to home; and veteran trombonist Danny Armstrong, a founding member of Lavay Smith's Red Hot Skillet Lickers.
"I wanted it to be a Bay Area project exclusively," says Behrman, a San Jose resident. "There is a lot of talent here that's underexposed."
The album's centerpiece is the leader's compelling three-movement "Justice Suite" (Sin / Righteous Indignation / Evolution), written for the sextet. While conceived as a response to the current political climate, the suite is also very much an interior drama, "related to a personal struggle of someone trying to change, working through the anger," Behrman says. "That could be a metaphor for all kinds of things where it doesn't feel like justice is around."
"Steppin' Back" closes with "something lighthearted": "The Faithful Hussar," which Behrman learned from Louis Armstrong's "Ambassador Satch." While listening to it recently with his wife, "we just started dancing to the song. Anything with that bounce needs to be heard."
Joel Behrman, 37, grew up in a St. Louis suburb and, at age 9, started on his first instrument, trombone, a horn he still plays frequently today. He went on to earn his music degree at the University of Miami, studying with world-class improvisers like Ira Sullivan (another two-horn master) and playing countless salsa gigs on the local scene. He went on the road with KC and the Sunshine Band and eventually moved to the Bay Area, where several UM friends were already living.
Behrman started playing with the New Orleans–inspired Brass the Monkey Brass Band on trumpet and trombone. He played funk with Lenny Williams, the former lead vocalist with Tower of Power; East Bay grease with Lydia Pense and Cold Blood, another vintage soul/R&B combo; and New Jack Swing with Tony! Toni! Toné!—all gigs that required him to hone his trumpet chops and really develop his technique. But the most important gig was joining swing/blues vocalist Lavay Smith and her Red Hot Skillet Lickers.
"That was a life-changing experience, getting introduced to genuine swing," Behrman says. "There was a standard you had to live up to, being able to swing and play the blues. It really shaped certain opinions and philosophies in my mind."
These days Behrman is touring internationally with percussion star Sheila E., and also performing widely with her father, the Latin jazz great Pete Escovedo. He still gets gigs as a trombonist, but the trumpet has increasingly become his primary creative vehicle, to the point where he didn't think twice about playing the horn exclusively on "Steppin' Back."
Behrman's immediate goal is to find opportunities to perform with his sextet. "I couldn't have hoped for a better assembly of musicians," says the trumpeter. "They really understand what I'm trying to accomplish on this project."

A citation is a form, entitled Maryland Uniform Complaint and Citation, which may be issued to you by a police officer if you violate certain motor vehicle traffic laws. Citations are issued for violations such as speeding and failure to wear a seat belt. The back of the citation provides information about what you must do: either pay the specified fine, or appear in Maryland District Court to contest the citation. For more information about citations, see the District Court Traffic Citation Fact Sheet.
Note that parking and red light camera tickets differ from other citations in that they are issued to the owner of the vehicle, regardless of who is driving the vehicle at the time of the violation. For this reason, they do not carry points. The citations cited on the Maryland Uniform Complaint and Citation are issued to the driver of a vehicle, regardless of whether or not that person owns the vehicle, and they may carry points.
What happens if I receive a traffic citation and I don't comply with the requirements described in the citation?
If you fail to pay the fine or appear in District Court to contest it, the Court will electronically notify the MVA. The MVA then will mail you a notice that your driver's license will be suspended unless you satisfy the court requirements by the suspension date printed on the notice.
What should I do if I receive a notice of suspension?
To avoid having your Maryland driver's license suspended, you must satisfy the requirements of the court before the suspension date printed on your notice. Contact the appropriate District Court, not the MVA, in order to:
- Pay the fine at the District Court; or
- Pay the fine by phone using a credit card (in Baltimore, call 410-974-7177; outside of Baltimore, call 1-800-492-2656); or
- Pay the fine online at: https://www.paymentchek.com/MD/MarylandCourt or
- Be granted a new trial date and post a penalty deposit with the District Court.
Note that if you pay the fine, you are admitting guilt and any points associated with the conviction are posted to your driver record. Also, if you pay your fine with a check that cannot be processed, or a check that is written for the wrong amount, or if you appear in court and do not later pay the fine assessed by the judge, the court will request that the MVA suspend your license for failure to pay the fine.
What happens if I don't satisfy the court requirements by the suspension date?
Your Maryland driver's license will be suspended until you satisfy the requirements of the court. Once you have satisfied the requirements, the District Court will request that the MVA lift your suspension. Note: the record of your suspension will remain on your driver record.
If your driver's license expires for more than a year during the suspension period, you will be required to re-apply for a new driver's license, including re-taking all tests and presenting proof of age/identity, lawful presence, verifiable social security number or proof of ineligibility and proof of Maryland residency.
- There are no MVA fees associated with the issuance of a traffic citation. However, the Maryland District Court may impose fees.

A suspect in a Broward County murder was taken into custody in Fort Myers Thursday, a U.S. Marshals Service spokesman said.
Felipe Alex Torrealba, one of the agency's 15 most wanted fugitives, is being transported to the Broward County Jail Thursday night, spokesman Barry Golden said.
Earlier this year the Broward Sheriff's Office called Torrealba a suspect in the murder of Kris Smalls, 42, of Weston, who was found dead in his SUV in March one week after he was reported missing.
U.S. & World
Two handguns and about $15,000 in cash as well as a pair of binoculars and a wig were found inside the two-story townhouse where Torrealba was hiding as authorities arrested him, the U.S. Marshals said in a statement.
A rental vehicle with two different Texas license plates, which was parked outside the townhouse, is believed to be the vehicle that Torrealba used to elude law enforcment, the agency said.
Torrealba's attorney, Jim Lewis, said he has not heard from him since February.
"These are some very serious allegations, and when he's returned here to Broward County I hope to sit down and talk with him, and get to the bottom of them, and find out what the truth is," Lewis said Thursday night.
Torrealba was also wanted in connection with a January incident in which he was shot in the ear by a Sweetwater Police officer as he fled a traffic stop.

I rather see excellent car game made well and long than hop into Need For Speed serie makers who seems to release **** after **** every 6 months.
What PRY says is correct. Polyphony Digital began work on GT5 long before the PS3 was on store shelves. But they're a very secretive company and Kaz rarely gives interviews. When he does, he's extremely guarded with what he tells the press.
Don't get me wrong, I expect high standards from GT5 and I think Prologue was a sample of what's to come. They set the benchmark for photorealistic graphics that are nothing short of stunning. For a console game, it has a very impressive and sophisticated physics model. But there are areas where it could use some improvement. My main complaint, exactly as Juan Kerr pointed out is in regards to FFB. And I just think that spreading their resources to include nearly 1,000 cars is turning this into a much bigger project than it needs to be. That and GT Mobile.

A new animated video 'Adaptación al Cambio Climático: Gente y Ecosistemas', was recently developed by the IUCN Mesoamerica office.
The video is part of the 'Good Water Governance for Adaptation project', which aims to strengthen the adaptive capacity to climate change of communities in the Central America region.
The video demonstrates how ecosystem goods and services benefit people's resilience to climate change and highlights the need to adopt and implement frameworks for better water governance.
Countries in which the 'Good Water Governance for Adaptation project' is being implemented include Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Mexico and El Salvador. It focuses on six watersheds as pilot sites: Under Yorkin (Rio Sixaola), Middle Sixaola (Sixaola River), El Aguacate (Rio Paz), Sumpul (Rio Lempa), Buena Vista (Coatan) and Pozuelos (Cahoacan).
The animated video forms part of the capacity building and training of project stakeholders and communities in the implementation sites, as well as beyond. The 'Good Water Governance for Adaptation project', is funded by the German Ministry for the Environment (BMU) and implemented by the IUCN Regional Office for Mesoamerica (ORMA) and the IUCN Environmental Law centre (ELC).
The video is 4 minutes long, narrated in Spanish with English subtitles:

Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel, a National Historic Landmark, was a
research facility used extensively to design and test new generations
of aircraft, both commercial and military, as well as National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) space vehicles, including
the space shuttle. The Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel was created by
the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), parent
agency of NASA. Constructed between 1950 and 1955, this complex
actually contains three wind tunnels. It represents the continual
development of superior aeronautical research facilities after
the end of the Second World War. These research facilities formed
the foundation from which NASA would launch the American effort
to land a man on the moon.
After the construction of the Variable Density Wind Tunnel at
Langley in 1921, NACA built an impressive variety of technical
research facilities upon which the American aircraft industry
was based. These facilities enabled the American aircraft industry
to dominate the skies in both commercial and military aviation.
By 1945, America's lead in the field of aviation seemed to be
evaporating. The technological achievements of the German missiles
and jet aircraft indicated a lag in American aeronautical research.
In 1949, Congress passed the Unitary Plan Act, under which the
Federal government coordinated a national plan of facility construction
encompassing NACA, as well as the Air Force, private industry,
and universities. The Unitary Plan resulted in the construction
of a new series of wind tunnel complexes to support the American
aircraft industry, including the Ames Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel
The major element of the tunnel complex is its drive system, consisting
of four intercoupled electric motors. The transonic wind tunnel
is a closed-return, variable density tunnel with a fixed geometry,
ventilated throat, and a single-jack flexible nozzle. Airflow is
produced by a three-stage, axial-flow compressor powered by four-wound-rotor,
variable-speed induction motors. For conventional steady-state tests,
models are generally supported on a string. A schlieran system,
one that allows regions of varying refraction in a transparent medium
caused by pressure or temperature differences and detectable by
photographing the passage of a beam of light, is available for studying
flow patterns, either by direct viewing or by photographs. The details
of the larger supersonic tunnel are much the same, except that it
is equipped with an asymmetric, sliding-block nozzle and the airflow
is produced by an 11-stage, axial-flow compressor powered by four
variable-speed, wound-rotor, induction motors. The smaller supersonic
tunnel is a closed-return, variable-density tunnel equipped with
a symmetrical, flexible-wall throat and the sidewalls are positioned
by a series of jacks operated by hydraulic motors.
The Unitary Plan Wind Tunnel, a National Historic Landmark, is also featured in the Aviation History Travel Itinerary. It is located at the Ames Research
Center, Moffett Field, Sunnyvale, California. Moffett Field is
35 miles south of San Francisco. From Highway 101 use the Moffett
Field exit. The Ames Research Visitor Center is open 8:00am to
4:30pm Monday - Friday, you can reach them at 650-604-5000. Admission
is free. There are no tours of the wind tunnels.

I can't melt 1oz ofSterling
More heat, less flux
On Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:49:54 -0800, Byzantine
discovered a keyboard and, for our
edification and amusement, submitted
Hello, I joined the forum because I cannot bring 1 ounce of sterling
silver scrap to a flow point so that I can pour a 1 ounce ingot of
Items used.
1. 32 g of acid tested sterling. The silver was cut into small pieces.
2. A silica crucible bought on eBay from FindingKing jewelry supply.
3. BurnzOmatic propane torch model TS 4000.
4. Prograde propane fuel.
5. Two syntax butane micro torches model number, SX 2050.
6. Titanium stirring rod.
The crucible has a round bottom. So I set it on a 1 1/4 pound cast-iron
weight with a hole in the center. The crucible fit perfectly on it.
First I tried a flux of straight Borax and water. I added too much water
so the water boiled and turned the Borax to a consistency of cottage
cheese, when it finally melted it looks like black lumps. Next I tried a
50-50 mix of Borax and boric acid. This time I use less water, and I
made a mixture to a consistency of dough. I still had some water
boiling, but eventually, the flux melted and turned smooth black.
I put the 1 ounce of sterling scrap. On top of the melted glassy flux
and began heating, first with one micro torch. Then with two micro
torches this will not bring it to the proper melting temperature. So I
changed over to the propane torch.
The highest temperature I can reach on the silver is to a bright
maraschino cherry red and and silver will not melt, although it will
fuse the parts together. The corners of these pieces have rounded off
and the lump is fuse together. The crucible has reached a bright orange
color. I have seen bright green flames coming off the silver as the
copper burns off. Most of the green flames have now stopped.
I thought maybe the cast-iron weight was absorbing heat from the
crucible. So I held it in the air with tongs but no good results. At
this time, I have used nearly a full can of propane and over 1/2 hour of
heating time. I realize a second can is not going to melt the silver.
Can anyone please help me to understand why I cannot melt the sterling
silver. I realize that there is a problem, but I cannot identify it.
Regards, Byzantine
Blessed be, for sure

Lymphoma risk in systemic lupus: effects of treatment versus disease activity
Arthritis Research & Therapy volume 14, Article number: A16 (2012)
1495 Accesses
We recently evaluated the risk of malignancy in SLE by linking a multi-site international SLE cohort with regional tumor registries. Across 28 centers, 15,980 patients were observed for 119,846 (average 7.5) person-years. In total, 641 cancers occurred, for an overall standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of 1.14 (95% CI = 1.06 to 1.24). Hematologic malignancies were substantially increased (SIR = 3.01, 95% CI = 2.47 to 3.62), particularly non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL; SIR = 4.36, 95% CI = 3.43 to 5.47) and leukemia (SIR = 1.76, 95% CI = 1.04 to 2.78) [1]. Yet the relative influence of treatment versus disease activity is unknown. Our objective was to determine the relative importance of drugs versus disease activity in mediating the increased risk of lymphoma.
We performed case-cohort analyses within this multi-site SLE cohort. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for lymphoma were generated in multivariate regression models, for time-dependent exposures to immunomodulators (cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, mycophenolate, antimalarials, glucocorticoids), disease activity (mean adjusted SLEDAI-2K), demographics, calendar year, Sjögren's syndrome, and SLE duration. Partially adjusted models were also performed, using only covariates whose HR CI excluded the null. Sensitivity analyses were performed, lagging cyclophosphamide exposures by 5 years. Medications were treated both categorically (ever/never) and as cumulative doses.
We studied 64 lymphomas (61 NHL, three Hodgkin's) and 4,739 cancer-free controls. As in the general population, lymphoma risk in SLE was higher in males and with age. Lymphomas occurred a mean of 13.1 years (standard deviation 9.8) after SLE diagnosis. Univariate analyses suggested a decreased lymphoma risk within the highest tertile of disease activity (relative to those with the lowest activity) but in fully adjusted models (using all variables listed above), the CI included the null (Table 1). Sensitivity analyses, lagging cyclophosphamide exposures, yielded similar results. In a partially adjusted model (retaining age and highest tertile of disease activity), the HR suggested a twofold lymphoma risk after cyclophosphamide. Despite a trend towards greater cyclophosphamide use in cases versus controls, in fully adjusted models, no drug was estimated to be an independent risk factor. Still, due to correlation, it remains difficult to differentiate the effects of medications from disease activity.
We did not definitively demonstrate an increased risk for any medications, despite a trend to greater cyclophosphamide use in the lymphoma cases. If anything, we noted a protective effect for very high SLE disease activity. Further work will focus on genetic profiles that might interact with medication exposures to influence lymphoma risk in SLE.

Keough Named Fellow of American Academy of Nursing
Vicki Keough, PhD, APRN-BC, ACNP, FAAN (MSN '91, PhD '98), was inducted as a fellow into the American Academy of Nursing Oct. 13, 2012.
This event took place at the Academy's 39th Annual Meeting and Conference in Washington, DC. Dr. Keough is the dean of Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing (MNSON). She also is a professor at the school and an emergency nurse practitioner at Loyola University Medical Center.
Dean Keough was joined by MNSON alumnae Catherine Catrambone, PhD, RN ('78), Mary Johnson, PhD ('97), PMHCNS-BC ('73), and Janis Miller, PhD, APRN ('88), who also were inducted.
"I am honored to be a member of this esteemed group," Dean Keough said. "I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance the profession of nursing and improve health care for our nation."
Selection for membership in the academy is one of the most prestigious honors in the field of nursing. The academy fellows represent the nation's top nurse researchers, policymakers, scholars, executives, educators and practitioners. Dr. Keough was among 176 fellows inducted in to the academy. She was named a fellow for her contributions to the field of nursing, which include her leadership as dean of the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing.
The academy is composed of more than 1,800 nurse leaders in education, management, practice, policy and research. Selection criteria include evidence of significant contributions to nursing and health care and sponsorship by two current academy fellows. Applicants are reviewed by a panel of elected and appointed fellows, and selection is based, in part, on the extent to which nominees' nursing careers influence health policies and well-being.
Dean Keough earned her bachelor of science in nursing with honors from St. Xavier University in Chicago. She went on to complete her master of science in nursing and her doctorate from Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing.
Dean Keough is an accomplished author and researcher whose interests include trauma, emergency nursing, alcohol intervention, nurse burnout and nurse attrition. She also serves as a research peer reviewer for the Illinois Emergency Nursing Association and a reviewer for the Journal of Emergency Nursing and the Journal of Critical Care.

Legend in two sports dies at 99 - Sport - NZ Herald NewsDouble international and New Zealand sporting legend Eric Tindill has died aged 99.
Tindill was the oldest surviving All Black and test cricketer.
He played both rugby and test cricket for New Zealand and also refereed test rugby and umpired test cricket.
He made his All Blacks debut on Saturday 21 September, 1935, against Yorkshire and Cumberland at Bradford in the north of England.
His first and only Test appearance came later on that same tour on January 4, 1936, against England in London. He made 14 of his 17 All Blacks appearances on that 1935-36 tour, adding three further appearances on the team's 1938 tour of Australia.
Not only was he a full international in both rugby (1935-1936) and cricket (1937-1947) but after his playing career ended he added to this distinction by refereeing Test rugby and umpiring Test cricket, as well as giving lengthy service to Wellington and New Zealand Cricket as an administrator.
He also served as a member of the NZEF during the Second World War.
Sad news. Must've been one of the last living links to pre-war tests too.
99 a very good knock tho. RIP.

A video baby monitor whose batteries are a burn hazard is being recalled, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The recall affects Lorex Care 'N' Share video baby monitors of model numbers WL3520, WL4320 and WL3401 (see back panel). About 26,000 have been sold in the U.S., and 8,000 more were sold in Canada.
Lorex has received 488 reports of overheated and expanded batteries, and in 140 of those reports the battery pack's swelling caused plastic casing to open or come off. While the overheated batteries are a burn hazard, no injuries have been reported to Lorex.
U.S. & World
The monitors — sold at online and at Babies "R" Us, B&H, Best Buy, Target, the Home Depot and Walmart — should no longer be used and Lorex is offering full refunds.
For more information call 844-265-7388 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the "Product Recalls" page at lorextechnology.com.

The various shades of white in paint and upholstery are some of the most versatile hues in a designer's toolkit, allowing her to fine-tune a space with subtle touches. Choosing the right white can change the perception of a room—a pure white may feel icy and crisp, while an ivory tone can be comforting and relaxed. We asked a few designers to tell us how they use white in their projects to create powerful statements that often put more flamboyant colors to shame.

Actor Dennis Singletary starred in a national commercial touting Honda's "Really Big Thing" sales promotion program. In fact, Singletary was so swayed by the offer of cheap financing, he went to a Honda dealer to take advantage of it. But when a dealer denied him participation in the very program he promoted he got kinda pissed.
The details of The Really Big Thing are simple: $0 down, $0 first payment, $190 a month for a Honda Civic lease. With gas prices being what they are, Singletary decided he'd participate and drove to his local Honda dealership who told him that, though he had the 709 credit score that qualified him for the deal, they didn't have a Civic in stock.
Undeterred, Singletary went to Power Honda in Valencia, California to get the same deal. They had the Civic he wanted, but when his credit score came up 663 they told him he'd have to pay $272 a month for the same car. Here's what he did next, according to a letter he sent to Honda and obtained by TMZ:
I then called Miller Honda right in front of him to ask for my credit just to double check and Julie was nice enough to tell me. I asked him to run my credit with me watching and he refused at first until I started to get angry.
He then proceeded to say he was re-running it but he was only reprinting the original copy he gave me. I know this because the original had the wrong zipcode. I asked him to re-run it and give me a print out with the right zipcode and he again just printed out the original. I then drove down to Miller to get a copy of my credit report and spoke to the managers. They explained to me that Honda is required to take the 2 credit score. They said Chance was taking the 3 credit score to try and get me to pay higher lease payment
This sort of thing happens all the time and few people are willing to go through the hassle to protect themselves.
Honda didn't respond to his claims and wouldn't let him speak to a manager despite starring in the ad for the same campaign he wasn't allowed to participate in.
How is it that I am dealing with such blatant dishonesty and unethical behavior from one of your dealerships, when my face was all over the TV promoting the very deal I wasn't able to get? If this the way I am being treated how is everyone else being treated?
Eventually, Singletary was able to get a Civic from a different Honda dealer happy to recognize the deal. It's a good reminder that, unless you're buying Spykers, there's probably another dealership around the corner willing to take your money and treat you better. No matter who you are.

The bears continued their dominance on Wall Street as a strong start to the day was countered with a mid-day sell-off, erasing all of the gains and then some. "Fiscal Cliff" woes permeated headlines again and will likely remain at the forefront until policymakers in Washington D.C. hammer out a concrete plan for tackling our massive debt burden. Overseas, European investors' showed little enthusiasm over the latest Greek "band aid," referring to the most recent agreement by finance ministers to postpone the nation's funding deal for November 20 [see also Free 7 Simple & Cheap All-ETF Portfolios].
With U.S. retail sales expected to hit the street later today, our spotlight will focus in on the State Street SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT, A-), which may see an increase in trading volumes depending on how markets digest the news. Analysts are expecting October retail sales to have contracted by 0.1%, marking a modest decrease from the previous reading, which showed growth of 1.1% [see Consumer Centric ETFdb Portfolio].
Chart Analysis
This ETF is currently in a "sweet spot," as it appears to be holding support at its 200-day moving average (yellow line). Since recently peaking at $65.47 a share on September 14, 2012, XRT has had three failed attempts at stabilizing above $64 a share; this ETF backed away from resistance on October 5 and most recently again on November 2, 2012, while at the same time posting lower-lows. Although its recent price action is far from bullish, XRT could make for an appealing buy at current levels given its longer-term uptrend (blue line) and history of bouncing off its 200-day moving average [see 101 ETF Lessons Every Financial Advisor Should Learn].
For those eager to tap into the attractive upside potential, setting a stop-loss around $60 a share is advisable as selling pressures may accelerate if this ETF fails to bounce off the 200-day moving average as many are anticipating [see also 3 ETF Trading Tips You Are Missing].
If the latest retail sales data comes in better than expected, retail stocks could carry the broad market higher; in terms of upside, this ETF has major resistance around the $64 level. On the other hand, a disappointing data release may sink this sector further; in terms of downside, XRT has major support around $60 a share followed by the $56 level. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.

About Max Richter
Blending classical, electronic, and rock influences into a style he calls "post-classical," composer/programmer Max Richter ignores boundaries in favor of haunting, strangely familiar sounds. This approach has made him an in-demand composer for film and other types of performing arts, as well as an acclaimed artist in his own right. Born in Germany in the mid-'60s, Richter and his family moved to the U.K. when he was still a little boy; by his early teens, he was listening to the canon of classical music as well as modern composers including Philip Glass, whose sound was a major influence on Richter. The Clash, the Beatles, and Pink Floyd were also important, along with the early electronic music scene; inspired by artists such as Kraftwerk, Richter built his own analog instruments. He studied composition and piano at Edinburgh University, the Royal Academy of Music, and in Florence with Luciano Berio. He then became a founding member of the Piano Circus, a contemporary classical group that played works by Glass, Brian Eno, Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt, and Julia Wolfe, and also incorporated found sounds and video into their performances.
After ten years and five albums, Richter left the group and became more involved in the U.K.'s thriving electronica scene, collaborating with the Future Sound of London on Dead Cities (which features a track named after him) and Isness; he also contributed orchestrations to Roni Size's In the Mode. Richter's own work evolved from the Xenakis-inspired music of his early days into something that included his electronic and pop influences: 2002's Memoryhouse introduced his mix of modern composition, electronica, and field recordings, and the following year's stunning Blue Notebooks -- inspired by Kafka's Blue Octavo Notebooks -- showed off a more streamlined, and more affecting, version of this sound. Released in 2006, Songs from Before paired Richter's plaintive sound with texts written by Haruki Murakami and delivered by Robert Wyatt. Two years later, 24 Postcards in Full Colour, a collection of elaborate ringtones, was released, and 2008 also saw the release of Richter's score for the film Waltz with Bashir.
Richter worked on several other film scores, including music for Benedek Fliegauf's Womb, Alex Gibney's My Trip to Al Qaeda, and David MacKenzie's The Last Word. Another scoring project was Infra, which Richter was commissioned to compose in 2008. A ballet inspired by T.S. Eliot's classic poem "The Wasteland," Infra premiered that November at London's Royal Opera House. Richter re-recorded and expanded his music for the 2010 album Infra, his fourth release for Fat Cat Records. Throughout the 2010s, Richter alternated between soundtrack work and other projects, including the award-winning scores to Die Fremde, Lore, and Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons, the latter an avant-garde reworking of the composer's timeless set of violin concertos. Disconnect, the score to Henry-Alex Rubin's film about the impact of technology on relationships, was released in 2013. His score for Wadjda, which revolved around an 11-year-old girl and was the first feature-length film made by a Saudi Arabian woman (director Haifaa Al-Mansour), arrived that July. Richter issued three more film scores that year, including the music to Ritesh Batra's Lunchbox and Ruairí Robinson's sci-fi excursion The Last Days on Mars.
In 2014, Richter launched an ongoing mentorship program for aspiring young composers. The following year saw the arrival of Sleep, an eight-hour ambient piece scored for piano, strings, electronics, and vocals, which Richter described as a "lullaby for a frenetic world and a manifesto for a slower pace of existence." The piece premiered at a Berlin performance where the audience was given beds instead of seats. Sleep and From Sleep, a one-hour adaptation, were released in September 2015. Richter returned in 2016 with the music for an episode of Black Mirror. It was soon followed by 2017's Three Worlds: Music from Woolf Works, which drew from his score for Wayne McGregor's three-act Royal Ballet production inspired by three of Virginia Woolf's most acclaimed novels. A compilation of Richter's soundtrack work, Out of the Dark Room, also appeared in 2017. A handful of new scores, this time for the films Return to Montauk and Hostiles, and for the television series Taboo, appeared over the next year, as well as a deluxe reissue of his landmark second album, The Blue Notebooks. Appearing later in 2018 were Richter's scores for the television series My Brilliant Friend and the films White Boy Rick and Mary Queen of Scots. ~ Heather Phares

Former Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave once told a staffer she could probably support civil unions because it wasn't marriage, according to a Facebook posting.
The post was written by state Rep. B.J. Nikkel, of Loveland, who served as Musgrave's district director in the 4th Congressional District. Nikkel became a hero in the gay community this session for voting with Democrats to send a civil-unions bill out of its first committee hearing. Some conservatives consider her a traitor.
Nikkel, in taking on a Musgrave family member on Facebook, said in her post that her civil-unions vote doesn't make her a liberal any more than Musgrave's support of the bailout and other issues makes Musgrave a liberal.
Musgrave, best known perhaps as a co-sponsor of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, lost her re-election bid in 2008. The Fort Morgan Republican now works for the pro-life leadership group, the Susan B. Anthony List. She could not be reached for comment.

This months TSQL2sday is being hosted by Robert Davies of MCM and Microsoft fame, you can find his post here. This month's topic is titled 'Gettin' Schooled' and for those participating in the blog party this month we will be looking at how we learn and how we teach.
This fits in quite nicely with my post from last Thursday where I wrote a short note on the SQLBITs conference being held in the UK this Autumn.
How do I learn?
I have been working with SQL Server since 2002, for most of that time as a DBA. This post will focus on the learning that I have undertaken since becoming a DBA. I know we all went school, some of us went to university, some of us may have even taken higher degrees in the form of Masters or PhD's etc. There has actually been quite a lot of debate and quite a lot written about whether you need college/university degree to be a DBA and I don't want to go down that route and discuss that topic here, instead I want to look at the type of learning I think most DBAs and developers will have gone through at some point to train themselves to do their jobs.
Technical Training
When I first started out working with SQL Server I was very lucky. My employers at the time had a reasonable training budget and they were prepared to send me on several official MCT courses. All SQL Server based and all based around the MCDBA. I forget about the actual course titles but there was a course on administering SQL Server. As a 'newbie' to the DBA profession and relatively new to SQL Server those courses did actually provide a good grounding for me because I was able to apply what I learned on the course in a practical environment, supporting production SQL Servers. I did also take the exams/certs associated with the courses and I have achieved both the MCDBA (SQL Server 2000) and the MCITP for SQL Server 2005. Certification is another discussion altogether! The training was good for me because I was able to combine the theoretical lessons and labs of the course with practical hands on experience. This meant I learned and gained experience in the technology and later I was able to pass the exams. I think that practical real life work experience was vital though for any DBA.
The best learning experience for me personally was in doing the job of a DBA. I was lucky, I got good training, more importantly I got two great mentors in my first full time DBA job. These guys taught me a lot and they helped me greatly early in my career. They gave me plenty of responsibility but at the same time were always available to help me out when I needed it and because of the help and responsibility those guys gave I was able gain great experience.
As the years have gone by and I have changed jobs and setup my own contracting company I have found that as technology changes and new features and products have come out the best way to learn these new technologies is to use them and figure them out for yourself. I'm lucky I have a MSDN subscription which allows me to use the Microsoft products and technologies as they come out. I have a very powerful desktop where I can run a several virtual machines at once so I have very own test domain setup where I can try different technologies and experiment with different setups.
I have read many SQL Server books over the years and books are still a great way for a DBA to learn. These are three of my current favourite titles:
Professional SQL Server 2008 Internals and Troubleshooting
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Internals (Pro - Developer)
I read a lot of blogs from people in the SQL Server community, I find this a great way to learn and keep to update, from the documented experiences and knowledge of other people doing a similar job to myself. My top 10 SQL Bloggers (Taken from my Google reader reading trends) are
1.Paul Randal
2.Kimberly L Tripp
3.Steve Jones
4.Brent Ozar
5.Brad Mcgehee
6.Buck Woody
7.Jack Corbet
8.Adam Mechanic
9.Thomas LaRock
10.Denny Cherry
There are many more great bloggers out there and I read most of them but I could fill the page with a list of the good blogs that I read, apologise if I haven't listed you, but feel free to leave a link to your blog in the comments if you think it is something that we all should be reading.
User Groups and Conferences
I like conferences they are a great way to learn and good way to network. There are many conferences and user groups out there, I wrote a post last week about the SQL BITS conference you can find that post here. I also recently attended a SQL Server Master Class held by Paul Randal and Kimberly L Tripp you can read my review of that great event here. There are a number of virtual user groups you can attend. I like the events put on by pass especially if travelling distances is difficult for you, you can attend these events from the comfort of your own desk and they are a great way to learn.
I have been writing about SQL Server since 2007. I have been writing this blog since late last year. I found writing on my website a little more time consuming and tricky than writing on the blog so I tend to write more on my blog these days but the website is still available. I started writing to improve my knowledge and enforce my understanding of SQL server. If I'm required to learn something new I like to write some blog posts about it. It reinforces my knowledge, If I get anything wrong people are very helpful and point out my mistakes or maybe ask questions which again allows you to grow and expand your knowledge. If you write on a blog or website it will be there for future reference and you might just help somebody else along the way.

In an article in Salon titled Don't Trust the Godless, Jesse Bering says that even though he is an atheist, he trusts religious people to do the right thing more than the godless. As an example, when he looks for a cab in a strange city, he prefers to take one that has prominently displayed religious icons such as crucifixes and Bibles over those that don't. He seems to have swallowed whole the idea that belief in god makes people behave better because of their fear of divine retribution.
PZ Myers rightly smacks down his arguments. In the process, he argues against the practice of choosing an overtly religious cabdriver, not the least because it violates cab stand etiquette, saying that "The correct answer is that when you see a taxi queue outside a rail station or airport, you take the first cab in line."
While I agree with PZ in his criticisms of Bering's arguments, I have to disagree with him on his choice of which cab to take on grounds that have nothing to do with religion. Doesn't PZ read or watch any spy fiction? If he did, he would know that you never take the first cab because those always contain the bad guys who are planning to kidnap you. You must always let a few cabs go by before getting into one.
So you should always allow a couple of people to get ahead of you in line for the cabs. I know this works because I have never been captured by enemy agents.

- Basic notions
- Media management
- Searching for packages
- urpmi-parallel
- Restricted urpmi
urpmihowto - urpmi Advanced How-To
Basic notions
Packages and media
The urpmi suite of tools has for main purpose to download and to install RPM packages easily.
Software packages often depend on each other; urpmi is able to recognize those dependencies, to download missing required packages as needed, and to remove conflicting packages if it needs to.
urpmi gets the list of available RPMs, and the RPMs themselves, from a media. Roughly speaking, a media is described by a name and by a location, specified by an URL. Currently supported media types are: local drives, removable drives (such as CDs), ISO images, and networked media via different protocols (http, ftp, ssh and rsync). NFS mounted directories are treated like local drives.
Installing and updating RPMs
The tool used to install RPMs is urpmi. Its basic usage is as follows:
urpmi <list of package names>
That prompts urpmi to fetch and install all packages and their unmet dependencies from the media you have configured. In the process, urpmi might ask a few questions. Notably, if some packages need to be upgraded, or if some new (unspecified) packages should be installed, it will ask for confirmation. If some packages need to be removed (due to conflicts with the requested packages), urpmi will ask for confirmation as well. In some cases, urpmi will also propose a choice between different alternatives, usually proposing the "best" package as a default.
Another very useful mode of action for urpmi is to ask it to upgrade all packages to the latest version found on the media. This is done by
urpmi --auto-update
urpmi can also help installing RPM files directly. Instead of using
rpm -i foobar.rpm, you can pass the path to the rpm file to urpmi: it will then try to resolve the needed dependencies.
Useful options to urpmi include:
- --auto
automatic mode: urpmi will not ask questions and always select the default choice.
- --test
tests the installation of packages, but do not actually install anything or modify the system.
- --media media1,...,mediaN
Use only the specified media, instead of defaulting to all available media. You can also specify a substring of media names, and urpmi will select all media that contain this substring. (For example,
urpmi --auto-update --media updates
will search updates from all media that have "updates" in their name.)
See the urpmi(8) manpage for the complete reference of all options that urpmi supports.
Removing RPMs
The tool used to deinstall RPMs is urpme. The command
urpme <list of package names>
will attempt to remove all listed packages, plus the packages that depend on them. It will refuse to uninstall "important" packages (that is, the ones that are part of the base system.)
See the urpme(8) manpage for the reference of all options urpme supports.
urpme will detect packages that are no longer used: for example, libraries that no application requires. To remove them, use urpme --auto-orphans
Media management
Adding media
urpmi is usable only when you have defined some media. Usually the OS installation procedure configures a predefined set of media, which correspond to the installation method you've selected: that might be installation CDs, or an HTTP or FTP server if you installed from a networked mirror, and so on. But you might want to add media yourself. For that, you should use the urpmi.addmedia program. Its usage is as follows:
urpmi.addmedia [options] <name> <url>
In this synopsis,
<name> is the name of the new media,
<url> the URL where the RPMs are to be found.
Supported URLs can be
ssh:// (this will use rsync over ssh),
file://, and
cdrom://. If the media requires authentication, you can use the usual URL syntax:
Those credentials won't be stored in any world-readable file.
In some cases, if your media points at an external HTTP or FTP server, you might want to use a proxy to access it. This is possible by using the
--proxy and
--proxy-user options (the second one in case of your proxy requires authentication.)
Removing media
This is straightforward; to remove a media
foo, simply use the command:
urpmi.removemedia foo
Updating media
Some media never change; this is the case, for example, for CD-ROMs and the like. However, some other ones -- typically updates -- grow; new RPMs are added to them, and old ones are removed. Thus, before using them, from time to time, you should instruct urpmi that their contents might have changed.
To do this, use the urpmi.update program. You can either update all media:
urpmi.update -a
or update only media specifically named:
urpmi.update updates-one updates-two
Creating your own media
The easiest way to create your own media is to let urpmi.addmedia do it. However, this will work well only if you have a small number of rpms, stored on disk or on a shared NFS mount. To do that, assuming that your RPMs are under a directory /var/my-rpms, simply enter the command:
urpmi.addmedia my-media /var/my-rpms
However, to create media containing a large number of RPMs, or to be put on a shared server, you'll need to use the gendistrib tool. It comes in the
rpmtools package. It is able to generate a mirror tree for one or several media.
A typical media repository, under a root directory /ROOT/, has the following structure: (here, we have two media, named
first and
ROOT/ - media/
|- first/
| `- media_info/
|- second/
| `- media_info/
`- media_info/
The RPMs are place in the
first and
second subdirectories. Repository metadata is contained in the top-level media_info directory. Per-media metadata are contained in the first/media_info and second/media_info subdirectories.
Per-media metadata consists in an
hdlist.cz file, that contains the gzipped headers of the RPMs in the media, a
synthesis.hdlist.cz file, much smaller than the hdlist and that contains only the information necessary to urpmi to resolve dependencies, and optionally a
pubkey file if the RPMs are signed (so urpmi can check that the RPMs it downloads are signed with the key associated to this media.)
Before using gendistrib, you must create a file media_info/media.cfg to describe this media repository. The syntax of this file is reminiscent of .ini files. It contains one section per media: for example,
name=First supplementary media
first is the directory name,
hdlist_first.cz is the name of the hdlist file that will be created (it must end with
.cz), and
name= gives a human-readable descriptive name for the media.
Then, you can run gendistrib. It should be passed the /ROOT/ directory as parameter. It will then generate the hdlist and synthesis files and all other files needed for proper repository operation.
For further information, see the gendistrib(1) manpage.
Searching for packages
urpmf is a grep-like tool for the urpmi database (the database of all RPMs in the media). By default, it will search through the file names contained in packages, but a variety of options allows to search through package names, provides, requires, RPM descriptions, etc. (or several of those at once.)
For example, to find all packages that begin with "apache-":
urpmf --name '^apache-'
(the ^ being the beginning-of-line anchor used in standard regular expressions.)
To find all packages that contain files whose pathname includes /etc/httpd.conf.d:
urpmf /etc/httpd.conf.d
To find all packages that provide "mail-server", with their version and release number (-f):
urpmf --provides -f mail-server
See the urpmf(8) manpage for more examples and the list of all options.
urpmq is a tool to query the urpmi database. It has several modes of operation. Here are a couple of useful uses.
urpmq -i package
will list the information for that package (like
rpm -qi would do for installed packages.) The
--summary option is similar, but gives only one-line concise information.
urpmq --sources package
will give the URL from which the package can be retrieved.
urpmq --requires-recursive package
will give the list of all RPMs that are required by the specified package (recursively).
Inversely, the command
urpmq --whatrequires package
will give the list of all RPMs that require the specified package.
See the urpmq(8) manpage for the list of all options.
urpmi-parallel is an add-on to urpmi that is useful to install packages on a network: it will run an urpmi command in parallel on a specified number of hosts. In more detail, the machine you run the command on (the "server") tests its result on each machine in the group in turn (the "clients"), downloads all necessary packages for all machines in the group, distributes the appropriate packages to each machine, then calls urpmi on the machine to do the actual installation.
urpmi must be installed on all client machines, but it is not necessary to have media defined on these.
To use it, follow those steps:
make sure you can ssh from the server to each client machine as root (you can use ssh-add on the server host to avoid entering your passphrase and/or password many times).
install urpmi-parallel-ssh and/or urpmi-parallel-ka-run on the server machine. The first plugin uses plain ssh to distribute commands to other hosts, the second one uses ka-run, an efficient parallelization method on top of any remote shell (rsh or ssh), adapted to clusters.
Edit /etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg to look something like this:
On this line,
mynetworkis the name of the alias you'll use to specify the network to urpmi,
sshis the install method (to use
ka-run, look up the entry for /etc/urpmi/parallel.cfg in urpmi.files(5)), and hostN are the hostnames of all clients on your network. You can put
localhostin this list.
Run the urpmi command: for example, to install "package_name":
urpmi --parallel mynetwork package_name
Restricted urpmi
urpmi has a "restricted" counterpart: rurpmi. It is similar to urpmi, but has a stripped-down set of features. It's intended to be used by users without root privileges, but with sudo rights on it, preventing any abuse of this tool to compromise the system.
Its syntax is similar to the one of urpmi, but it disallows installing arbitrary RPMs: those are forcibly downloaded from a registered media. A number of dangerous options, listed in the rurpmi(8) manpage, are also forbidden.

Voices of Youth Inspire! " I should never lose the love for my people, my land, and my culture"
- 116 Articles
Please, tell us your name:
Dali Angel
Where are you originally from and where do you live?
I was born in the indigenous Zapotec community called San Juan Jaltepec from the Santiago Yaveo municipality of Oaxaca.
What are you currently doing for work?
Indigenous youth and childhood commission for the Indigenous Women organization for CIARENA AC. We promote the articulation of the indigenous youth network of Central America and Mexico; I am part of the Alliance of Indigenous Women and currently the focal point for the Global Caucus of Latin America for Indigenous Youth.
I coordinate the School of Developers and Advocates Indigenous Youth BEN' COBBY VI BANEZI "Mirna Cunningham."
And how do you compare this with what you wanted to do when you were 10 years old?
When I was 10 years old I accompanied my parents to their meetings in various villages, and people from diverse communities came to my house to look for help and advice. I had the opportunity to listen to life stories, testimonies and life experiences of people who belong to an indigenous community. I could coexist with children my age even though we were all indigenous, and we all had lived other contexts and realities. All of these experiences are what have shaped me as a person.
Give us 10 words that describe your typical work day.
In a nutshell, how did you get where you are now? Name some of the most important milestones.
My family has played a fundamental role in my training. From childhood they always told me that I had to feel proud coming from an indigenous village and being Zapotecan. They told me that I should never have to be quiet in the face of an injustice, that I should never lose the love for my people, my land, and my culture. The most important milestones in my life have been marked by the distinct movements of indigenous villages, the coexistence of a large trajectory of indigenous leaders, and seeing and knowing the struggle for the criminalization rights through the recognition of the indigenous people.
When I was very young, I was invited to be part of an organization of Indigenous Women (Indigenous Women by Ciarena) who to date have supported me in the work I do. Through the organization, we have been involved with work with indigenous children, women, and youth.
Thanks to the work that we implemented within the community we have been able to promote other indigenous people networks at the Latin American level so that we have coordinated a manner to carry our voices to other spheres of influence.
What was the biggest obstacle you had to overcome to get your current position and how did it help you grow as a person?
There remains problematic forms of discrimination and racism that still exists in our societies which threatens the construction of our identity. The stereotypes that society has in relation to indigenous peoples are wrong. It is thought to that "young indigenous" is synonymous to primitive or backwards but we have the right to access the new, such as information technology for example.
Centralizing spaces incidence and decision making remain difficult to visualize our demand as indigenous peoples, which are based on collective processes.
The lack of recognition of our individual and collective human rights as indigenous peoples hinders the full enjoyment of our rights as indigenous adolescents and women.
How important was your choice of degree/field of study at university for what you're doing now?
In my study I was struck by the degree in Hydrobiology, which was already important for me to be able to support indigenous communities who have established themselves next to river banks and oceans. I thought that it was necessary to be able to help these towns where the water also is privatizing. However, the fact that one has had the opportunity to acquire tools in the denominated "formal education," does not mean that such knowledge is above the traditional and ancestral knowledge of our people. The knowledge acquired in school can serve as a tool that can be combined with the traditional knowledge, provided they are for your benefit and not for harm.
What are the top three things someone needs to excel in your
Self-identify as part of indigenous people
To know that you form part of the collective process and that you are only the "spokesman" and not the leader
Never lose vision nor the compromise and respect for the indigenous peoples
What do you think is the MOST important thing governments and/or companies can do to help adolescents and especially young women in indigenous communities?
Acting in accordance with the provisions of international conventions and treaties on the rights of indigenous people such as the ILO Convention 169 and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the indigenous peoples.
Respect the right of the consultation of indigenous peoples as well as the Free Consent Principle, Free and Informed.
Generate full and effective participation spaces for indigenous
women and youth public policies and programs, and the monitoring,
implementation and execution of the same.
Abandon implementing development models that violate our
traditional organizational form that we have as a people. These
models have forced displacement of peoples, mostly the indigenous
Stop the various forms of violence committed against indigenous peoples such as militarization, genocide, ecocide, among others.
Tell us about the strangest day you've ever had at work or the strangest thing you had to do?
One day when I was told that my mother had been the victim of an attack by my younger brother.
Some words to youth out there: What advice can you give adolescents in Latin America and the world?
We must not lose hope. We have to be young with memories and stories. We must not be quiet in the face of an injustice. We return that value of the "Word" the word, the word that our people have a meaning and that many already have forgotten. It is worth crying or being sad, angry, or screaming in Latin America because we transform these sentiments into energy to keep working collectively to continue transforming this world. We turn to see the other side and raise our heads up. We respect our indigenous people, worthy representatives of ancient cultures and millennials.

petertdavis precisava de um novo design de página da web e criou um concurso na 99designs.
Um vencedor foi selecionado entre 39 designs enviados por 21 designers freelancers.
A header for the community I'm building out at Zealot.com. Three main elements to be included, the site name, the top level navigation, and the banner advertising area.
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
Site name to left, navigation top right, banner bottom right.
Accepted File Formats:
I'm building out a community at Zealot.com. For reference, you can see the work in progress at http://forum.zealot.com
The header is to include three major elements:
1. The site's name
2. Top level navigation
3. Banner spot (468x60)
Points to consider
* I probably wouldn't like anything taller than 100 pixels, and less is probably better. Probably something around 80-90 pixels will look best to me without looking too compressed.
* I like the color that I'm using. However, that doesn't mean I'd rule out a similiar shade of blue, or incorporating other colors to work well with this color as an accent. But, I do prefer blues over everything else.
* The navigation should include 'Home', 'Forum', 'Blogs', 'Wiki', 'Directory', 'Gallery', but should leave the possibility to add new sections (and do it easily).
* The navigation can be graphical, and I might like it to have some way of highlighting the section the member is currently in by using a different color, brighter, bold, or something like that.
* The site name can be either textual or graphical, use your creativity there. It should fit in with the overall color of the site, but could incorporate accent colors as well.
* If your header design requires (or just would look better) with some changes to the body of the site, please make suggestions. However, please consider that as advice, as it's possible I might like the suggestion you have for the body, but not choose your header design as the winner.
* Please understand that elements from the winning submission would perhaps be used as part of promotional materials such as t-shirts, buttons, business cards, brochures, etc. Not that I'm planning to do that, just want you to understand that it's possible.
* The design doesn't have to be serious. It's a hobby community site, some degree of fun is ok. Not overly whimsical, or feminine, though. And, not to show favoritism to any specific hobby, as this site will at launch include a half-dozen different hobbies.
* I can pay by Paypal. I don't like Moneybookers, and WU is a pain in the behind, and the amount isn't big enough to justify Escrow. Please be sure you can accept payment via Paypal, somehow, before you enter. I could pay by WU if your head and shoulders above the rest and can't take Paypal.
* I expect I will like the layout as it is now, site name on left, navigation top right, banner bottom right. However, if you wish to offer up a design showing a different layout, you're welcome to express your creativity. It's your challenge to convince me.
* In places where I've been vague, it's because I want to leave room open for your creativity. Please don't be afraid to try something, you may pleasantly surprise me. If you're going in a direction I don't like, I'll let you know. I'm not overly harsh in critisism, so if I say something like "I don't really like it" then don't pursue that direction.
* I'm using a fluid design. It's going to stay that way. Please make sure that your submission would work well in a fluid design.
* If I don't respond to submissions for a while, please be patient. My wife is 8.5 months pregnant, due date is after the contest end time, but it could be any day now really. I will extend the contest if we get interrupted. I set the contest end to be before, but will extend if necessary.
