The Retina display-packing MacBook Pro that was announced at WWDC has been meticulously disassembled, as you might expect, everything is glued or soldered in place, including RAM, battery packs, and the display. While that might not make for a laptop that's particularly well-suited for repair or upgrades, it does make for a svelte package. The iFixit guys have a few thoughts on their experience taking the new MacBook Pro apart:
- Just like in the iPhone 4/4S (and the MacBook Air), proprietary Pentalobe screws prevent folks from accessing the machine's internals. That means you need a special screwdriver just to remove the bottom cover.
- As in the MacBook Air, the RAM is soldered to the logic board. Max out at 16GB now, or forever hold your peace—you can't upgrade.
- The proprietary SSD isn't upgradeable either (yet), as it is similar but not identical to the one in the Air. It is a separate daughtercard, and we're hopeful we can offer an upgrade in the near future.
- The lithium-polymer battery is glued rather than screwed into the case, which increases the chances that it'll break during disassembly. The battery also covers the trackpad cable, which tremendously increases the chance that a user will shear the cable in the battery removal process.
- The display assembly is completely fused, and there's no glass protecting it. If anything ever fails inside the display, you will need to replace the entire (extremely expensive) assembly.
It's clear that Apple's laptop design is following closely in line with their tablet strategy: make it small at all costs, even if it means using proprietary parts and keeping tinkerers out. While that might not be great news for folks like Ally, it's hard to argue with the results. The new MacBook Pro looks like a beast of a machine, and odds are if you're a fan of Apple hardware, you don't mind being locked out of certain things. Of course, the pricetag is another story altogether...

"The White House rewrote crucial sections of an Interior Department report to suggest an independent group of scientists and engineers supported a six-month ban on offshore oil drilling, the Interior inspector general says in a new report.
In the wee hours of the morning of May 27, a staff member to White House energy adviser Carol Browner sent two edited versions of the department report's executive summary back to Interior. The language had been changed to insinuate the seven-member panel of outside experts – who reviewed a draft of various safety recommendations – endorsed the moratorium, according to the IG report obtained by POLITICO.
"The White House edit of the original DOI draft executive summary led to the implication that the moratorium recommendation had been peer-reviewed by the experts," the IG report states, without judgment on whether the change was an intentional attempt to mislead the public."

By Skip CleaverPosted Thursday, 26 June, 2003
Hollis, New Hampshire, is a quaint small town in the southern part of the state. It is rural, and many orchards and farms dot the landscape, just as they have for several centuries. Many farmers left these farms to fight for American Independence in the Revolution, and you can almost feel the sense of history. You can see the orchards, smell the apples during harvest, and view the gorgeous explosion of color in peak foliage season. The Gate City Striders captured all of this when they created the Applefest Half Marathon 20 years ago. This event has made a cherished name for itself as a race "Created by Runners, for Runners." And it is.
The 21st running of the Applefest Half Marathon, famous for unique features and attention to detail, will run on Saturday, October 4, at 10:00 a.m. Everything about this event is first class: The facilities, the unique T-shirts, the beautiful course, the volunteers, the energetic student-manned water stops, the many quality awards, and the scrumptious post race food. Every detail is covered, and runners are treated to one of the best race experiences anywhere.
The quality of the event has been such, and demand so high over the years that they had to limit the field (1,200 runners). The demand also increased in recent years for a shorter race to accompany the 13.1-mile half marathon. Organizers responded by offering a two-person relay option for the first time this year. Initial high interest shows the relay will definitely be a sellout (limit 150 teams). Closeouts at similar events such as the Keybank Vermont City Marathon Relay and the Cape Cod Dunkin' Donuts Marathon Relay certainly back this up.
This event has made a cherished name for itself as a race "Created by Runners, for Runners."
Applefest will award a minimum of 120 prizes this year. There are several award changes and additions, including new cash prizes of $300, $200, and $100 for first, second, and third females and males overall. Awards are provided three deep in 12 different divisions (5-year age groups) for both women and men—that is 78 awards. Additionally they offer prizes for the top three female and male weight (Clydesdale) divisions, the top three local females and males; and this year, 30 awards will be distributed in the relay. The top three relay teams overall in three divisions--female, male, and mixed—will receive $100 cash. And there are relay awards going three deep in three categories—open, masters, and seniors—in female, male, and mixed groups. Impressive medals and "Mile High Pies" will be given to each of the 24 division winners.
An $800 bonus will be awarded if there is a course record (1:06:07, Dave Dunham, 1992; 1:18:22, Patti Laliberte, 1983). And a handsome embroidered sweatshirt will be given to any runner breaking an individual age group record. This is a unique feature of Applefest, and there have been nine such awards in each of the last two years.
Best of all, every finisher this year will receive her or his own commemorative award, a long-standing tradition. Many runners participate year after year to collect their award, or receive the beautiful and artfully designed long-sleeved T-shirts, although they are optional.
Age Group Records
From the very first Applefest race in 1983, unique records have been kept for every age, not just age groups. They run from age 12 to 80, and anyone who breaks these records gets the aforementioned sweatshirt (with embroidered Applefest logo, their name, and age group) and their name in the book. Nine have been awarded in each of the last two years. Carrie Parsi of Massachusetts, who recently returned from a two-year tour in the Peace Corps, holds eight such records (between age 49 and 59), and Carlton Mendel of Maine has set 10, including one for age 80--last year. Mendel (5) and Dave Parsel of California (4) are the only athletes to have current record streaks exceeding two races. Joe Fernandez of New Bedford, Massachusetts set a national veteran's record in this race in 1989.
Here are two hints: If you are a woman age 66 and older, you will automatically set an age record. Its difficult to believe, but no woman 66 or older has ever run this race. And the mid age groups are there for the taking—all women's and men's records from age 19 to 39 were set in the 80's and 90's. Not one has changed since 1999. In fact, nine records set in the very first race (1983), including the women's overall mark, have not been broken in 20 years. These records provide a unique award structure, as well as a very different perspective on this exceptional race.
Applefest boasts first class facilities and equipment. Pre and post race activities will be held in the new Hollis/Brookline High School, and the spacious locker rooms are open to runners. Showers, lockers, and changing facilities are available to all, and couldn't be better. Timing is excellent in this event, and results are posted quickly. Porto johns are abundant, in addition to the indoor facilities. A tent will make the post race food even more enjoyable. The entire setting is ideal for the color-splashed half marathon.
The Course
The course is a gorgeous rural tour of farms and orchards. It is a figure eight with a small upper loop, and a lower loop. It begins and ends at the high school, and is a record quality course. The race date is peak foliage season, as well as the peak of the apple harvest (with pick-your-own options nearby). Brookdale Farms, a 21-year race sponsor, is located on the course at mile 11.
In addition to farms and orchards, the course passes Silver Lake State Park (mile 3.5), a cemetery where those Revolutionary War Soldiers are interred (mile 11.5), hardwood forests alive with color, and the quintessential town center, with the historic Town Hall and Civil War Memorial (2.5 and 11.5). There are water stations every 2 miles (manned by competing groups of students), and very strict traffic control. The rolling hills provide variety and add much to the rural landscape and vibrant colors.
The Relay
The relay will be run in two segments, with the first 6.4 miles, and the last 6.7 miles. The first is net downhill, and the second is, of course, net uphill. The relay handoff is near the lowest point on the course. Buses will take all second-leg runners to the relay point, and will return all first-leg runners from the hand-off in time to see their partners finish. Relay runners will be given the same high quality, memorable experience as the individual runners.
The Food
This event simply has the best post-race food, a difficult claim to be sure—but true. It starts with the famous apple crisp provided by 21-year sponsor New England Country Pies—the same folks who bake the award winning "Mile High Apple Pies", their signature product. Beyond the apple crisp is the widest variety of baked goods in unbelievable quantities, and, of course, large quantities of fruit, yogurt, and beverages. There is a sizable and hard-working committee dedicated just to food preparation, and they are without parallel in their production. You will be well rewarded. This committee is made up of runners who know exactly what makes participants happy at the post race.
Loyal Following, Great Tradition
Great races have a very loyal following, and runners toe the line for this event year after year after year. All aspects of the event--the organization, the course, the season, the atmosphere, and the rewards--align to make this truly a very special race. It is a highlight of the fall racing season, and for many it is the highlight of the year. This race is a model for distance events. Try it out. Bet you can't run just one.
There are a few caveats. Relay runners may sign up online only, no snail-mail. Registrations for all individual and relay runners are only accepted prior to race day—no race-day registration. And there are strict limits on the field to maintain the quality of the event—1,200 individual runners and 150 teams allowed. Don't be shut out.
Applefest—21,097.53 meters of pure pleasure, beauty, and yes, terrific food at the finish of this most memorable race.

Amazing what a little coersion from the universe can do to lead you to something new, something different. Peeps, I'm talking about knitting with wire!
It all started with these candles.
Tiny Anais Garden Votives
Oddly enough, the universe threw the candles at me on Thursday while I was holiday shopping. I didn't NEED them but I can't resist most candles, especially one dozen 2 inch high candles in a beautifully adorned box.
Then on Friday, I saw this Twist and Loop had finally arrived on the shelves at Books a Million. Perused the book but resisted the urge to buy because I MUST finish my Christmas knitting FIRST! (Yeah, right)
And on Saturday, the universe finally threw a brick at my head with this adorable, ingenius pattern at Knitty - Venezia. I dreamed about this pattern all night, the beads, the colors, the wire, the excitement of something NEW.
I finally gave in and on Sunday, I dug out my bead box, found some 24 gauge wire, some simple glass beads and decided to try my hand at knitting with something other than fiber. I.AM.ADDICTED! The 2 inch candles are no longer naked, they have little handknit, beaded chaquetas (aka jackets for us gringos).
Tiny Votive Chaqueta (detail)
Tiny Votive Chaqueta
The multicolor one was my prototype. While the 24 gauge wire was just fine to knit with, I decided to use 28 gauge on the rest of them. I'm not going to stop until all 24 of them have jackets. Yup, some of you will be getting these for Christmas pressies this year.
Tiny Votive Chaquetas
Pattern: Mine on the fly
Wire: 28 gauge/24 yards (should be able to knit at least three jackets per spool)Beads: (Green hued votives) Blue Moon Beads sea colored mix and Natural gemstone Jade chips (be sure not to use plastic beads so that they don't melt)
Needles: Size 9 mystery double points (they're white plastic/acrylic from years ago; I think they're Lion Brand)
Misc: Wire snips, 2" tall (1.5" across) votives
Time: 1 hour or less per chaqueta (includes stringing beads)
1.) String the beads randomly onto the wire (I spaced the Blue Moon beads and the jade chips using approximately a 7:1 ratio). I didn't count the number that I strung on but approximately 125 should do it.
2.) Using knitted cast on, loosely CO 15 sts (at least for me, this row was very ugly!)
3.) (Before knitting each stitch, slip a bead then knit the stitch) Knit 8 rows slipping beads in between EACH stitch (you don't have to bead every stitch if you don't want to. Play with pattern until you're happy with it cause its all about YOU).
4.) Loosely BO all sts continuing to slip beads into the BO row; leave a 12 inch tail.
5.) Use tail to stitch the two sides together.
6.) Continue using tail and loop wire through all of the CO stitches and draw them together tightly to close the gap to create the flat base for the chaqueta. Using wire snips, twist and tuck ends so that they're not exposed.
7.) Pop votive into the chaqueta to lightly stretch it so that it fits.
8.) Repeat until you're either tired of making them or you run out of beads and wire.
Notes: Stringing the beads takes the longest time of anything with this project. I may invest in a bead spinner or make one of these to make this part go faster. Or I may bribe Thing 2 to do it in exchange for Christmas gift spending money. Contrary to some of things I've seen on the internets, knitting with wire was not hard on my hands. I only suffered one minor injury where I carelessly reached into the bead box and very quickly found where the beading needles had disappeared to - ouch!
So what are you waiting for? Pick up those needles and start knitting with some wire!

Tran Family Chapel
A collection of centuries-old merchant houses and temples in its old quarter has created an atmosphere that turned Hoi An into one of Vietnam's most popular tourist destinations. This particular family chapel was built in 1802.
Incense Prayer Coils
Chinese immigrants in Hoi An formed close-knit communities based on their province of origin. Each community then built an assembly hall to hold social gatherings, celebrations, and meetings. These "prayer coils" hang from the ceiling of the Fujian Assembly Hall, and it takes about one week to completely burn through one coil.

Japanese Covered Bridge
This bridge has undoubtedly become the most prominent icon of Hoi An, thereby making it an important symbol for the entire nation.
Why build such a robust bridge to span such a tiny trickle of a stream? Based on their experience in their homeland, the original Japanese designers were concerned about the constant threat of earthquakes.

Hoi An really comes alive at night: lanterns are lit and candles are floated down the river as people flood into the old quarter to enjoy the spectacle.
Morning Stroll
What a difference a few hours makes! If you venture out early enough in the morning, long before the searing heat sets in and the crowds of tourists arrive, the streets of Hoi An are virtually deserted.

The series of tunnels, which measures about 2 kilometers in total length, contained everything from meeting and assembly rooms to kitchens an a maternity ward.
North and South Vietnam were separated by a 5km demilitarized zone running along the Ben Hai River at the 17th parallel. As is the case with other similar locations around the world, it was once one of the most militarized places on the planet.

This flag pole on the north bank of the Ben Hai River was a convenient target for American and South Vietnamese gunners. Ever time it was hit, though, it was immediately rebuilt by North Vietnamese soldiers.

By Dr. Mercola
Paula Deen's rise to fame is built on scrumptious high-sugar, highly processed foods with a distinct Southern flare.
Her latest show, "Paula's Best Dishes," is a hit on the Food Network, and she also has several popular cook books to her name.
While no doubt tasty, the meals Ms. Deen promotes can easily lead to weight gain and diabetes, so her recent admission on the Today Show that she's been living with type 2 diabetes for the past three years did not come as a great shock.
Her decision to become the spokesperson for a dangerous diabetes drug however, did, and has raised the ire of many.
In fact, if her plan was to become a role model of healthy living, it has backfired in a dramatic way, as most people are suddenly (and wisely!) shunning the notion that you can just pop a pill to address a diet-related health problem.
"There is something slightly unsavory about the fact that Deen has continued to advocate the type of unhealthy, fattening foods that contribute to obesity and, therefore, to Type 2 diabetes, only to step forward now as the pitchperson for a drug that is designed to treat that disease, which she herself has had in secret for years."
Is a Drug Really the Answer to Type 2 Diabetes?
Many are questioning Ms. Deen's decision to keep quiet about her diagnosis for so long, while continuing to promote her signature high-sugar meals. According to Time Magazine:
"Deen said that she decided not to make her diagnosis public until she could "bring something to the table when I came forward. I've always been one to think that I bring hope." For her, that hope apparently comes in the form of Victoza, a diabetes medication made by Novo Nordisk.
Deen is now the spokeswoman for the drug. Deen and her sons, Jamie and Bobby, have also partnered with the drugmaker to promote the new Diabetes in a New Light program, which provides food tips and stress-management techniques as well as medical interventions for controlling diabetes. "I was determined to share my positive approach and not let diabetes stand in the way of enjoying my life," Deen said in a statement about the launch of Diabetes in a New Light."
Clearly, Ms. Deen did not spend the last few years investigating the underlying causes of diabetes. If she had done so, she would have discovered that you cannot successfully cure type 2 diabetes with drugs and/or insulin.
Because type 2 diabetes arises from faulty leptin signaling and insulin resistance. It is therefore a fully preventable condition that can be controlled or reversed by recovering your insulin and leptin sensitivities. However, the only known way to reestablish proper leptin and insulin signaling is through a proper diet and exercise. There is NO drug that can accomplish this – a fact that makes the current disease paradigm even more tragic, as diabetes continues to skyrocket, and the conventional treatments are needlessly killing diabetics prematurely.
In Ms. Deen's case, her drug of choice, Victoza, is a non-insulin diabetes medication that has some very disturbing potential side effects, including cancer! It's certainly not something I would perceive as a "positive approach"...
It is important to know that there is NO pill to cure or even control diabetes that addresses the fundamental issue, insulin resistance. Most of them tend to lower blood sugar, which is why they are called oral hypoglycemics. The problem with most physicians is that they believe high blood sugar is the problem. However, the real problem is insulin resistance, which these drugs do not address in any way.
Victoza—A Potentially Dangerous Option for Diabetics...
According to the prescribing information for Victoza (Liraglutide), there are a number of important warnings you need to be aware of, including a black box warning—the strongest warning issued by FDA—which states that:
"Liraglutide causes thyroid C-cell tumors at clinically relevant exposures in rodents. It is unknown whether Victoza® causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans, as human relevance could not be determined by clinical or nonclinical studies."
Furthermore, the web site for Victoza includes the following important warnings:
"It is not known whether Victoza® causes thyroid tumors or a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) in people which may be fatal if not detected and treated early. Do not use Victoza® if you or any of your family members have a history of MTC or if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). While taking Victoza®, tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. These may be symptoms of thyroid cancer.
Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) may be severe and lead to death. Before taking Victoza®, tell your doctor if you have had pancreatitis, gallstones, a history of alcoholism, or high blood triglyceride levels since these medical conditions make you more likely to get pancreatitis. Stop taking Victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area that is severe and will not go away, occurs with or without vomiting, or is felt going from your stomach area through to your back. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis."
Ads for the drug feature a smiling Deen with the caption, "Live a life that's delicious." But just how "delicious" will life be if you end up getting cancer? Other common side effects associated with the drug include:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
The Diabetes Drug that Probably Should Not Be On the Market...
As discussed by Tom Philpott, writing for Mother Jones, Victoza has only been on the market for two years, gaining FDA approval in January 2010, but the drug barely made it through due to the strong link to thyroid cancer.
"In April 2009, the FDA's Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee voted 12-1 that rodent data linking the drug to thyroid cancer could apply to humans. The committee got hung at 6-6 (with one abstention) on whether the cancer risk was ground for FDA rejection. The drug eventually won approval anyway," Philpott writes.
Furthermore, Philpott reveals that, in 2010, Novo Nordisk was publicly reprimanded for breaching no less than seven clauses of the British ABPI Code of Practice for the Pharmaceutical Industry with regards to its promotions of Victoza:
- Clause 2 - Bringing discredit upon and reducing confidence in the pharmaceutical industry.
- Clause 3.1 - Promoting a medicine prior to the grant of its marketing authorization.
- Clause 7.2 - Making misleading claims.
- Clause 7.3 - Using misleading comparisons.
- Clause 7.9 - Failing to provide information about side-effects and reflect available evidence.
- Clause 9.1 - Failing to maintain high standards.
- Clause 12.1 - Disguising promotional material.
Would You Risk Cancer for No Benefit at All?
Yes... there's actually compelling evidence that drugs designed to reduce your blood sugar do not provide you with ANY kind of health benefit, and may in fact be far more dangerous than the disease itself. For example, a recent meta-analysis of 13 randomized controlled trials involving more than 33,000 people showed that this kind of treatment is not only ineffective, it's also dangerous. In fact, the review showed that treatment with glucose-lowering drugs actually increase your risk of death from heart-related ailments, and all other causes. The researchers noted that:
"The overall results of this meta-analysis do not show a benefit of intensive glucose lowering treatment on all cause mortality or cardiovascular death. A 19% increase in all cause mortality and a 43% increase in cardiovascular mortality cannot be excluded."
Nortin Hadler, a University of North Carolina professor of medicine is another vocal critic of diabetes drugs. In a 2008 paper published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, he declared such drugs "useless," because lowering your blood-sugar levels does not provide any tangible benefits. Dr. Ron Rosedale has also discussed this for many years now.
To top it all off, the drug hawked by Deen costs a whopping $500 per month! Yes you read that right; FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS a month, or about $17 a day.
Lessons Learned from Avandia: Diabetes Drugs Can be Deadly
Avandia (rosiglitazone) is the poster child for what is wrong with the drug treatment of type 2 diabetes. After hitting the market in 1999, a 2007 study in the New England Journal of Medicine linked it to a 43 percent increased risk of heart attack, and a 64 percent higher risk of cardiovascular death, compared to patients treated with other methods!
It took nearly 10 years of the drug being on the market for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take action and restrict access to this dangerous drug. The European Medicines Agency banned it altogether. Meanwhile, millions of people have taken Avandia and have been exposed to these unacceptably high-risk side effects, for a drug that in no way treats the underlying causes of diabetes. More than 80,000 diabetics have suffered from strokes, heart failure or other complications including lethal heart attacks from this dangerous drug.
Again, the only thing drugs like Avandia do is to help lower blood glucose, which has virtually no influence on the long-term damage due to type 2 diabetes. Most of the damage is caused by elevated insulin levels, which can be remedied with an optimal diet and exercise program alone, if you're compliant.
Other studies have also confirmed that most drugs given to type 2 diabetics are at best worthless and at worst harmful or even deadly. Last year the New England Journal of Medicine featured not one, not two, but FOUR studies backing up the conclusion that the path of conventional medicine is leading diabetics astray, and doing far more harm than good.
You Don't have to Be a Statistic...
Amazingly, one in four Americans have some form of diabetes or pre-diabetes. If this is not a clear sign that conventional health recommendations are flawed, I don't know what is.
I too have personal experience with this disease. I developed it myself at one time, and most of my paternal relatives (my dad included), have, or have died from, diabetes. My personal experience with diabetes and subsequent review of the literature made it VERY clear to me that virtually every case of type 2 diabetes is reversible... And the cure for type 2 diabetes has NOTHING to do with giving insulin or taking drugs to control your blood sugar. In fact, giving insulin to someone with type 2 diabetes is one of the worst things that can be done. Any physician still doing this suffers from profound ignorance of insulin physiology.
It's important to understand that many of the conventional recommendations for treating diabetes are not only flawed but dead wrong, and I discussed the reasons why in this previous article. If you need a refresher, please review it again. Once you understand that type 2 diabetes is a fully preventable condition that arises from faulty leptin signaling and insulin resistance, the remedy will become clear. To reverse the disease, you need to recover your body's insulin and leptin sensitivities!
How do you do that?
As mentioned earlier, the ONLY way to accomplish this is through proper diet and exercise. There is NO drug that can correct leptin signaling and insulin resistance... Adhering to the following guidelines can help you do at least three things that are essential for successfully treating diabetes: recover your insulin/leptin sensitivity; help normalize your weight; and normalize your blood pressure:
- Severely limit or eliminate sugar and grains in your diet, especially fructose which is far more detrimental than any other type of sugar. Following my Nutrition Plan will help you do this without too much fuss.
- Exercise regularly. Exercise is an absolutely essential factor, and without it, you're unlikely to get this devastating disease under control. It is one of the fastest and most powerful ways to lower your insulin and leptin resistance. If you're unsure of how to get started, I recommend reviewing my exercise program for tips and guidelines. It is also critical to work your way up to include some Peak 8 exercises.
- Avoid trans fats.
- Get plenty of omega-3 fats from a high quality, animal-based source.
- Optimize your vitamin D levels. Recent studies have revealed that getting enough vitamin D can have a powerful effect on normalizing your blood pressure and that low vitamin D levels may increase your risk of heart disease.
- Optimize your gut flora. Your gut is a living ecosystem, full of both good bacteria and bad. Multiple studies have shown that obese people have different intestinal bacteria than lean people. The more good bacteria you have, the stronger your immune system will be and the better your body will function overall. Fortunately, optimizing your gut flora is relatively easy. You can reseed your body with good bacteria by eating fermented foods (like natto, raw organic cheese, miso, and fermented vegetables) or by taking a high quality probiotic supplement.
- Address any underlying emotional issues and/or stress. Non-invasive tools like the Emotional Freedom Technique/Meridian Tapping Technique can be extremely helpful and effective.
- Get enough high-quality sleep every night.
- Monitor your fasting insulin level. This is every bit as important as your fasting blood sugar. You'll want your fasting insulin level to be between 2 and 4. The higher your level, the worse your insulin sensitivity is.

Jeff94972 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 28 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
DIY Invitations
We sell do it yourself wedding invitations online to cost conscious brides.
Our target audience is a recently engaged female 25-42.
The logo should not be too tall (so it fits nicely in a website header)
It doesn't involve a lot of work for the bride, they create/design it online on our website
The logo should convey the online process (maybe a mouse or other image could work, not scissors as there is not a lot of work for the bride to do).
The logo should convey quality, ease, value and choice.
The tag line "created by you to impress" must be involved in the logo
Ignore content and logo on current http://www.diyinvitations.com.au website.
Please look at DIY_IdentDevelopment - this is a second draft. The mouse is a good idea to tie in with online, but not iplemented effectively overall. The swirly stuff is too over the top for this design. It makes the logo too tall for effective web headers and the colour scheme is a strange selection. Finally, the single colour no gradient seems a bit old fashioned, we are looking for a more modern look.
DIY_IdnetPreso is a first draft and all were off base from what we were after.

FBI Taps Hacker Tactics to Spy on Suspects
Law-enforcement officials in the U.S. are expanding the use of tools routinely used by computer hackers to gather information on suspects, bringing the criminal wiretap into the cyber age. Danny Yadron explains on Digits. Photo: Getty Images.

This is good news but ITV's contribution is dwarfed by what's available on Welsh television.
On sky you can watch BBC2 Wales which has a regular weekly rugby program and S4C screen loads of matches both anglo-welsh cup and magners league not to mention stuff from overseas. BBC isn't bad with Internationals but everything is England orientated - for a more balanced approach watching the welsh is informative. One good thing that BBC do do is put highlights on their digital channel through the red button.

Christoph Schiessl necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
ProActive, CoPilot
ProActive was founded in April 2009 in Austria, Europe. We are a software development start-up company. We work with Ruby on Rails to create interactive web-2.0 style web applications and web pages (we don't create desktop applications of any kind). We want our web page to show that we are able and competent enough to implement high-end technology and high-end design web projects.
At the moment, we are a web design shop. We work with local designers and advertising agencies to complete these projects. Our in-house CMS tool is called CoPilot, which we want to present on our web page: using text, screen-shots and screen-casts.
The ProActive logo has been designed on 99designs just last week. See here: http://99designs.com/contests/32245
The Web Site should communicate:
- Modern, New Ideas, Open-Minded Company
- State Of The Art Technologies and Products
- Stylish, but not too much fun
There are two groups in our target audience.
1. Small and medium size businesses looking for support with the implementation of various web applications. Most of these clients are looking for ways to communicate and to connect with their customers via web pages, online advertising, email newsletters and social media.
In general there are a lot of old and traditional companies in this group. This doesn't mean that we want to maintain a similar image - on the contrary we want to be modern and to stick out of the mass like a colored dog :)
2. We want to appeal to web designers and small advertising agencies. The idea here is, that we supply the technology and the and web designer/advertising agency can fully focus on layout, content and customer relations.
The second group is more important to us.
The company's full name is "ProActive GmbH". We supply the ProActive logo. The second important thing is our in-house CMS tool. It's called "CoPilot" and should be prominently presented on our page. We supply the CoPilot logo too. Note that both names are intentionally written using CamelCase!!!
We also supply a grid you could use to design the page. The grid is based on http://blueprintcss.com. Using the grid is not strictly required but would be nice to have...
Small JavaScript animations are welcome - you are encouraged to document these too. A small comment or hint in your layout file explaining the kind of animation you intend is sufficient.
We supply both, the ProActive logo and the CoPilot logo. Even through the ProActive logo is blue at the moment, feel free to change the color of the logo as you see fit. We supply an Adobe Illustrator file to enable you to do that.
We are going to create the content when we have the layout. Just use blind texts in the mean time. Expect five main menu points including: About Us, CoPilot, Portfolio, Blog and Contact.

When lack of weather is unusual
We are now in the midst of a fairly unusual weather situation...an extended midwinter drought extending well over a month (see figure..red is this year, blue is climo average). And it is not over yet. But lets be clear...such droughts have occurred before and some worst then this year's. If you are really careful about picking period--mid January to mid-February--this is the driest year on record...but that really is artificial. If you started two week earlier, the heavy precipitation in early January would be included and we would be far from a record (an example of how one can.
The persistent upper level flow with a ridge offshore and a trough over the western U.S. (see figure) is predicted to persist, both by the National Weather Service GFS forecast, a collection (ensemble) of such forecasts, and the forecasts of other forecasting centers. We should have a dry week with partial sun in the lowlands, with little snow accumulation over the mountains. The latest snowpack observations indicates that some locations in the north Cascades and the Okanogan have dropped to roughly two-thirds of normal (figure).
Today, the situation will be very different in the northern and southern portion of the state. The southern half is in clouds associated with a weak ban associated with the low to the south (image). Light rain has made its way up as far north as the Portland metro area, while Seattle and north are sunny. This band should slowly move north as it dissipates . Light showers could move into southern WA...but I don't expect it to move further northward (see forecast for 4 PM this afternoon).
And there is some good news for weather watchers. A key weather observing station that had been offline...Stampede Pass at 4000 ft in the mountains--is back online. It provides the most high quality observations in the mountains..so many of us missed it.
Finally, let me note my talk on the 25th at Town Hall....it will be a comprehensive review of what we have learned about forecasting NW weather...a link about the talk is found to the right.

From your "Saturday" post Cliff -- I hope you do post your comments on the global climate change topic. Including, I hope, discussing your paper on NW climate theory I seem to recall you mentioning on KUOW last year. Something that is in the peer review stage?
To discuss it openly is probably to court ridicule. And I don't want to suggest you offer yourself up for a tar-and-feather session. I guess I just think climate change (whether humans have any actual ability to enact change) is a big enough unknown that it deserves active debate. To not debate in my mind is to give up.
And I'll stick my neck out here and agree w/ Dan; I do like cool, overcast weather. And while I love sunshine, if I really craved constant sun, I'd live in AZ. I thought you were just hypothosizing that to live in the NW means you kind of are ok with liking those mild days. My gawd, when the sun shines so bright, I'm overwhelmed by all the natural beauty (did you see the Olympics at sunset last night?!) and dont get a bit of work done! =)
- February 15, 2009 at 11:37 AM
Interesting what a few days can bring. California on their way to a bad situation only to have their storm doors open up. Now Washington is starting to get a little worried. Flip flop as they say.
I wonder if the long ranges had a hint of this?
- February 15, 2009 at 12:20 PM
Bright sunshine in Bellingham today!
Am I wrong in thinking this has been an unusually cold winter? With the cold snap during the holidays (technically, pre-winter) and the many, many frosty nights we've experienced before and after the floods it seems quite different from the consistent grey drizzly years.
And Cliff, I was at your talk at Village Books last Sunday but the room was just to crowded to introduce myself. Next time...
- February 15, 2009 at 12:49 PM
Good read Cliff. I found that interesting Josh-B. Right when Cali was asking and praying for inclement weather, man did they ever get it. I think we will have one last parting blow with a rough spring with hail, rain, and cold weather. It can't just 'end' like this...we're definately experiencing more extereme events interspersed with long, relatively benign weather periods. Makes for an interesting time to live in the PNW. Good work Cliffster!

I understand you're speaking at Town Hall 2/25 and unfortunately, we can't make it. Bum deal. Any other local lectures coming up we can look forward to attending?
- February 15, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Yeah, global warming baby, I like it!
It certainly could be a bit warmer here year-round and I wouldn't complain!
- February 15, 2009 at 4:55 PM
With all the treehuggers tearing down the dams, we could have some water shortage/storage issues.
The nice thing about it getting warmer is that since all our hydropower is gone with the dams, our electricity rates are now astronomical...but with warming, we won't need to run our electric heat as much!
Warm up, planet!

To the poster wondering about it being a cold winter,
December was definitely cold (not record-breaking though), but January and February so far have seemed normal to me.
I don't know if it's just me, but the lack of wind and rain we've had this winter has actually made it feel more comfortable than normal.
- February 15, 2009 at 5:08 PM
"Light showers could move into southern WA...but I don't expect it to move further northward"
Hmm, seems like the models missed the boat on that one. I went for a ride on the motorcycle today and got rained on at Boeing Field. It was raining pretty hard last time I looked outside (Renton).

11 Miles S Stehekin WA 48.2°N 120.75°W (Elev. 3224 ft)Holden Village. Five inches of wet snow. Near 30 all day. Finally snow for the North Cascades.

- andycottle said...
For what is shown over us, this would be snow over the lowlands as thicknesses are shown to be in the lower 520`s - upper 510`s with 850mb temps near -10c as a weak mid-upper level low is just barely over the inland coast of WA. Perhaps some nice snow showers with this set up. But again, it`s long range and GFS continues to toy around with the idea of some cold of cold spell around end of this month. We`ll see what happens.
In the short term, still appears we stay mainly dry through about next Sat with Sun and beyond turning cool and unsettled.
- February 15, 2009 at 9:30 PM
Cliff, with the benign and much sunnier than normal winter, is there any chance we might see a nicer than normal spring and summer to help balance it out?
- February 15, 2009 at 9:50 PM

Awesome weather site, I just stumbled apon.
Need something like this where I live.
As Jessica was discussing I find it very disturbing that the pole ice sheets are disappearing.
- February 16, 2009 at 7:23 AM
- Cliff Mass Weather Blog said...
Andy...you just can't believe the models out that far..particular for snow and cold...don't get people excited! Yesterday the rain band did go a bit further north than forecast...but most of it was over southern WA (which I define as south of Seattle)...cliff
- February 16, 2009 at 8:37 AM
Why is it "disturbing" that the pole ice sheeets are disappearing? Would it also be disturbing if they were growing, as they did from 1940-1970s? Were the dinos upset when it started to chill?
I just don't understand why people get upset over climate cycles that have occured on this planet for millenia. We are part of the ecosystem, and there is nothing we are doing to affect it...and nothing we can do to change it, no moreso than we can change the weather. There are many who have a vested interest ($$$) in making us THINK we can do something!
So sit back in your big SUV and enjoy life (it's WAY too short)...like I do!
I teach my students to do the same...there is just so much negative in the world with hypocrite liberals trying to make us all live like third-world countries while THEY live large (Al Gore) and don't pay taxes themselves.
I now have 5 kids in my classes who were gonna go into low-paying "enviro" jobs, but now plan to be engineers and business majors...and they will as a result HAVE jobs! It's so gratifying to de-program them from envirowackism!
- February 16, 2009 at 1:18 PM
You are exactly what is so wrong about this country. It makes me sick to even think that somebody like you is having influence over our children in an educational environment. You need to wake up. To totally dismiss the idea that humans are affecting climate change is wreckless, and makes you look massively ignorant. I especially enjoyed how you contradicted yourself by tearing down liberals, but in turn saying you are teaching "your kids" to drive big SUVs. You mentioned "envirowackism". The only thing wack here is you.

I wouldn't worry about Roger. Sounds like a #^%$ stirrer. For all we know he could be more for about human climate change. He might be using reverse psychology to get the base fired up. If he is the real thing he is part of a new religion. He is as blind as those who deny the holocaust. I may give science a hard time once in a while, but without it anybody could say anything. Good science brings it to a starting point for good discussion and research. Let him keep preaching. It's our job to keep learning about the earth and be open to good scientific research.
This is why Cliff is careful when it comes to Climate Change. If you blame everything on human effects by saying "I am the scientist and you don't know anything-listen to us" approach you are going to alienate and push more people to the extreme. The goal should be to bring this technological wordage and present it in a way that you can understand. Cliff is doing that.

text: At this moment I just can do some simple texture mapping. I have one tubular model of a certain depth. I would like to paste a 2D image around the inside wall of the cylinder. The result needs to look similar to that 2D image when viewed straight. Do I need to consider depth value of the jpeg image to map it to the inside of the cylinder and look alike? Orcan it be done without considering the depth value? Please give me some suggestion to solve this problem.

user: Christoph Oelckers <email@example.com>
- fixed_ P_ExplodeMissile skipped most of its logic when the missile got destroyed by having no death state.
Apparently a band-aid fix was applied to this function because AActor::Destroy could not be called on an already destroyed actor again which could happen here due to incorrect ordering of actions.
Moving the state change to a later point in this function - after hitting a sky has been checked and decals have been spawned - returns everything to a safe state and ensures that nothing gets skipped.
changeset: 9806:e1681d605c7d
user: Christoph Oelckers <firstname.lastname@example.com>
- fixed: With P_ExplodeMissile now working properly it is no longer valid to terminate a looping sound in a missile's death state because it now gets called after the death sound has been started.
changeset: 9807:fa4ac7aa5fd0
user: Teemu Piippo <email@example.com>
Added Qt Creator's new CMakeLists.txt.user.<hash> files to hgignore.

user: Christoph Oelckers <email@example.com>
fixed: R_PointOnSideSlow had precision issues with very short lines.
When this function was originally written there was no possibility of fractional vertex coordinates so it threw away the fractional parts of the node's directional vector (which in the original nodes was always 0.)
Now, with UDMF and high precision vertices this no longer works and the loss of significant parts of their value caused this code to produce erroneous results if the linedefs were only a few map units long and using fractional positions.

Fix z-position client-server inconsistencies for things on cliffs.
* Things would sink into cliffs differently on the client than on the server
when positioned on floor edge. This was because server (or offline game)
uses two different algorithms to determine thing sector depending
on how the item is spawned, while client was always using only one.
Client will now receive a LevelSpawnThing command to use the same sector
detection algorithm as the server does.
* Things on the client positioned on sector edges would not move
consistently when sector floor was moving.
* Things would fall through 3d-floors on the client if positioned on the edges.
* These changes exposed problems with bullet puffs being treated as
normal objects client-side during spawn and detecting collisions against
3D floors. Server-side doesn't do such detection, therefore it must inform
the client-side that it's a bullet puff that is being spawned so the client
can know not to do the 3D floor collision check too. The old SpawnPuff
was moved to SpawnPuffNoNetID, while SpawnPuff now acts as SpawnThing
that is treated differently by the client.

If I use the centre focus point on the D800, it will focus accurately on a LensAlign ruler, about a foot away. If I use either far right or left focus points, I get at least an inch of backfocus. I don't get this with a 50mm and it's consistent across three D800 bodies.
If anyone else can try this with a D800 and 15mm Sigma I would be grateful - any old ruler should do. Perhaps there's some optical property that causes this, but it's a nuisance. Or is my lens faulty? Live view will focus accurately.

Film and Media
Natalie Zemon Davis's Slaves on Screen: A Review Forum
It should come as no surprise that an historian as committed to popular culture in the 16th century as Natalie Zemon Davis should become interested in the defining popular cultural medium of our own era: film. As the example of her work as a consultant on The Return of Martin Guerre suggests, and as several articles written over the years have made clear, Davis would like historians to take film seriously—as an object of study, as a vehicle for historical narrative, and as the locus of one of the most important sites for the public debate of history. The publication of her first book about film, Slaves on Screen (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2001) offers an occasion to revisit the increasingly charged field of film and history. This column offers two different perspectives on Davis's book—one by Adam Rothman, a historian of slavery and the African American experience; the other by Ginette Vincendeau, a leading film studies scholar, whose own work has importantly emphasized the historical context of film culture. The reviews not only evaluate the strengths and limitations of this new and important book but through Rothman's focus on accuracy and historiography and Vincendeau's concerns about the cinematic context for the production of films about slavery, also highlight each scholar's disciplinary point of view. Davis's reply nicely restates the aims of her book and in the process argues again for a greater understanding between historians and filmmakers, which is an indisputable point. What the forum allows us to grasp, however, is that there is room still for more of a shared agenda between historians and film studies scholars. Until historians pay more careful attention to such issues as the history of film genre, notions of cinematography and mise-en-scène, we will not be equipped to analyze the historical films already made nor will we be in a position to advocate more sophisticated filmmaking on historical subjects. If we want to get into the business of "infotainment," we may well need to start by embracing the value and power of entertainment.

The S&P 500 represents the industry standard for large-cap indices. While the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) may be the most visible stock market index in the country, the S&P 500 has long been relied on by industry insiders and fund managers as the more reliable gauge of portfolio performance.
While the DJIA is price-weighted and only includes 30 stocks, the S&P 500 uses a weighting system that factors in market cap and the size of a company's free float while including some 500 stocks for a more comprehensive look at the broader markets' performance. Its performance is far more representative of the large- and mega-cap stocks for any period of time.
