Crewsware necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 661 diseños de 119 diseñadores freelance.
Crewsware is an airline related service company. Dealing primarily with airline employees, Crewsware supplies value added support of air crew (pilots and flight attendant) in the award bidding (asking for a work schedule) and award presentation, as well as a long list of other services. We specialize in user friendly presentations and services that virtually all airlines don't supply. Recently we have supplied major airlines with data analysis services, and plan to expand in this area.
Almost all airlines give crew a very basic and sometime cryptic schedule pattern with information scattered over several locations. Crewsware brings all the information together into one location, presents the information in a friendly easy to read format and offers and number of access solutions including mobile support. We constantly add new features or tools to our clients.
This design will lead to a full website re-design.
You can see some of our tools and features on YouTube - search "Crewsware". (more videos coming...)
Primarily airline pilots and flight attendants, however we want to also attract major airline managements with a more professional look and feel. It's time to expand.
Our data analysis tools and knowledge can be used by any airline.
We could someday expand to non-airline services.
The winning logo size will primarily be inside our secure login, the 220x 50px logo will sit at the top left corner of our specialized web based tools.
Please see:
or YouTube - search "Crewsware".
A larger scaled version will be located at the login and our (soon to be new) website.
This logo will be the start of a whole new web site design so it does not need to match our current web site.
Required Sizes (approximate):
small scale (220x50px), can be wider or narrower but not taller
medium scale (about 400px wide),
large scale (about 600px wide)
The files we require:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and .png
We would like our logo to demonstrate these themes if possible:
IT Services
• Vibrant, Bold, Intelligent
• 3D only if the logo is scalable and looks good in the small format
• Company name in logo - see current design.
• Company Colors: Our tools are laid out on a plain white background with primary blue, green, red, yellow features (see the above web sites or videos). It is not necessary to stay with our current colors, however they blend well with our primary tool colors.
We currently have a simple animation for our log in page(see attached), preference will be given to a design that may allow for some sort of animation.
Thanks for your efforts.

Hedge funds and other speculators raised bets on higher gold prices to the most in six months as signs of slowing U.S. growth drove bullion above $1,400 an ounce for the first time since June.
The net-long position increased 29% to 73,216 futures and options by Aug. 20, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. Short contracts fell for a second week and to the lowest since Feb. 12. Net-bullish holdings across 18 U.S.-traded commodities jumped 34%, the most since July 2010, as wagers on copper and soybeans more than doubled.
Gold, down 27% from its record high, has rallied 18% from a 34-month low in June. Asian demand for jewelry surged as prices tumbled into a bear market. Sales of new homes in the U.S. declined more than 13% in July and consumer confidence fell in the week ended Aug. 18, increasing speculation the Federal Reserve will look for more signs of growth before easing stimulus that debases the dollar.
"Physical demand is very strong, and that is lending support to prices, and we think it's time to increase our holdings," said Michael Mullaney, the Boston-based chief investment officer for Fiduciary Trust Co., which manages about $10 billion of assets. "The economy is improving, but there are some misses, which intensify the debate on tapering and increases demand for gold as a safe-haven investment."
Gold Rally
Futures rose 0.1% to $1,397.50 at 11:20 a.m. on the Comex in New York, after gaining 1.8% last week to $1,395.80 last week. Spot prices topped $1,400 on Aug. 23. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities slid 0.1% last week, while the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities dropped 0.3%. The Bloomberg Dollar Index, a gauge against 10 major trading partners, rose 0.4%.
Policy makers are weighing when to begin curbing $85 billion of monthly bond purchases that they pledged to maintain until the job market improves. Gold rose 70% from December 2008 to June 2011 as the U.S. central bank pumped more than $2 trillion into the financial system by purchasing debt, increasing investors' concern about currency debasement and accelerating inflation.
Fed Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard, who has supported record Fed stimulus, said on Aug. 23 the central bank should pledge not to raise record-low interest rates as long as inflation is below 1.5%. The metal may rally to $1,482 as soon as October if Fed tapering is delayed to December, Barclays Plc said Aug. 23.

SAN ANDREAS - California's new drought is already making life interesting for archaeologists, treasure hunters and the various agencies that try to prevent vandalism of historic sites that are normally below the waters of major lakes.
SAN ANDREAS - California's new drought is already making life interesting for archaeologists, treasure hunters and the various agencies that try to prevent vandalism of historic sites that are normally below the waters of major lakes.
At Folsom Lake near Sacramento, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation recently advised metal-detector enthusiasts that it is illegal to take artifacts they find at the recently exposed site of the town of Mormon Island.
Judith Marvin, a Murphys-based historian who works on surveys of archaeological sites, is busy this winter at a major foothills reservoir whose name she can't disclose documenting the location of recently exposed rock-crushing mills and other Gold Rush-era structures.
And Leah Hesseltine, 101, whose family ranch was inundated in 1962 by the waters of Camanche Reservoir, said that if the drought goes on long enough, she's going to get to visit the old ranch again.
"Once before, we were able to go down there in a jeep and with horses, and we saw the foundation of our ranch," Hesseltine said. She didn't recall the year, but it might have been 1987, when low water exposed the town for the first time since 1963, according to media accounts.
Other towns beneath area lakes include Jacksonville, below the surface of Don Pedro Reservoir, and Petersburg, under the waters of New Hogan Reservoir.
If the drought goes on long enough to take New Hogan down, however, there probably won't be much to see.
"There would be nothing there," Burson-based historian Sal Manna said of Petersburg. The problem: The buildings were mostly wooden.
Robert Kidd, a spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which manages Hogan, said at most, the old road to Petersburg might be visible, but only if the lake drops quite a bit more.
At Camanche and Melones, in contrast, low water could expose the remains of foundations and possibly more. Melones, in particular, once had a large mill for crushing ore.
Marvin said she once visited the former site of Melones, also known as Robinson's Ferry, which was on the north shore of the Stanislaus River just east of where Highway 49 now crosses the lake on the Stevenot Bridge.
"There was part of a stone building, the Airola store. ... Foundations. The mill foundations. All that sort of thing," Marvin said.
An undated photograph kept by the Calaveras County Historical Society shows the Airola Saloon as a whitewashed stone structure with heavy iron fire doors.
The Melones town site was inundated after the completion of New Melones Dam in the late 1970s.
Exactly when, if ever, some sites will be exposed is uncertain, depending on the chaotic forces of both weather and politics.
During the 1977 drought, Stockton officials tussled with Calaveras communities over whether Stockton could drain the last drops of water out of New Hogan Reservoir. That time, the mountain towns won, and the minimum pool remained.
The Gold Rush heritage of the inundated towns combined with the widespread use today of metal detectors can be a set-up for conflicts once they are again accessible by foot.
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation spokesman Louis Moore said staff with his agency have already had a number of contacts with people using metal detectors at Mormon Island, a former town in the bed of Folsom Lake that is now exposed.
Removing objects from archaeological sites is illegal, whether they are on public or private land.
Even Marvin, who is hired by agencies and private property owners to examine and document historical sites, doesn't carry anything away, she said.
"If you find something interesting, look at it and put it back. Don't remove it," Marvin said.
"These are important cultural resources that should be preserved in perpetuity for future generations. Maybe a hundred years from now they are exposed again, and they have some incredibly marvelous dating tools we don't have now, and they can find out new things."

I'm trying to get OpenWRT running on the Siemens SX551. Wiki.
The stock bootloader decompresses the stock binary to 0x94000000, and starts it.
I created a kernel, containing an initrmfs, containing mostly busybox, and a few kernel modules.
Before building I edited target/linux/ar7/Makefile:
FEATURES:=squashfs jffs2 atm pci usb2
And I added a '#define CONFIG_BOOT_RAW' to the head of build_dir/linux-ar7/linux-220.127.116.11/arch/mips/kernel/head.S, to get this code working:
#ifdef CONFIG_BOOT_RAW
* Give us a fighting chance of running if execution beings at the
* kernel load address. This is needed because this platform does
* not have a ELF loader yet.
j kernel_entry
The bootloader uncompresses a LZMA compressed flash partition, so I took vmlinux, and compressed that, and put it into the flash partition, as described in the wiki.
The bootloader happily decompressed the image, and then felt back to it's prompt:
Unzipping web at 0x94f30000 ... [LZMA] done
Unzipping code at 0x94000000 ... [LZMA] done
[AR7300 Boot]:
The boot of the stock firmware looks like this:
Unzipping web at 0x94f30000 ... [LZMA] done
Unzipping code at 0x94000000 ... [LZMA] done
In C_Entry() function ...
sys_irq_init() ...
Set GPIO
Reset USB, PCI and VP140 module ...
I suppose that when the OpenWRT image was just faulty, the box would have crashed, or something like that. Now it returns to the bootloader, so I suppose the bootloader decided not to start the code at 0x94000000 for some reason.
Any suggestions?

Feeling the love this week
First I received a sweet phone call from my favorite "har-do" salon in Big D letting me know I was featured again in TX Bridal Magazine- specifically on the website! And even better, I received an email from Chris that The Beauty Box was writing a blog about the featurette photos and included a link to OCD! {thanks Chris!!}
So my connection with the Beauty Box runs deep- I have referred a small army who are also now loyal "box ladies". I can't help running into someone I know when I am there. You can't beat Rosa Marrufo's magical hands and keen eye for all things blond! {or brown, or red, or black. She is just good.}
Best part- she is super fun to be with. I love those hours chatting- I often forget I am there for hair.
So just how good is this Rosa I speak of?
Well honey, let's just say Southwest Airlines should send Miss Rosa a thank you card- I fly back to Dallas from my Houston home just to get my hair "did".
Check out the post HERE!
And in honor of finding my computer and camera again {yes, it has been a while!} check out some of my new teardrop gem earrings.
I am obsessed with them.
And apparently, so is everyone else. I keep selling out of these beauties!! Send me an email to email@example.com to order or get on the list. And if you live in Dallas- check out my newest jewels each month at Exhale Spa. {zen!}
teardrop gem beauties- prices range from $60 to $110

Stephanie Shouse Lane, a Lipscomb Hall of Fame Tennis Player, is still active athletically. Stephanie captured a National Pickleball Gold Medal in the Women's Division that was played just outside Phoenix, Ariz. Pickleball is a sport that combines tennis, badminton and ping pong to make it one of the nation's fastest growing sports. Stephanie, and former Lipscomb tennis player Nicole Lawson Hobson, also captured the Bronze medal in Women's Divisional Doubles. Stephanie is this week's "Where Are They Now?" selection.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played tennis from 1987 to 1991 for Trish Hodgson."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"The camaraderie of playing with the team, the tough, thorough practices that only Trish could run and the fun spring break trips."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Without a doubt it was my coach, Trish Hodgson. As a collegiate athlete this time in your life is such a growing time. Trish was so wonderful at molding and shaping us not only as tennis players, but helping us grow in the classroom and most importantly as people. She was our `Solid Rock' that we knew we could always go to at any time!"
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"The time that I spent as a member of the Pi Delta Social Club. I really enjoyed being a part of such a strong group of spiritual ladies. I also really enjoyed all intramural sporting events."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"One of the biggest blessings I received at Lipscomb was the opportunity to get to know and be around Coach Don Meyer. Before arriving at Lipscomb as a student-athlete, I had the privilege of attending the Lipscomb Basketball camps for nine consecutive summers. Coach Meyer's influence truly changed my life and outlook.
"To this day, the characteristics that shape my life were formed by the things he stressed while teaching basketball. A lot of people thought he was just teaching a sport, but what he was really doing was teaching us how to handle life."
Who was your favorite professor?
"There would be several. Obviously Trish Hodgson, but also Don Meyer, Paul Prill, Doug Varnado, Lynn Griffith, April Ezell, Ralph Samples, Marlin Connelly and Doc Adams."
Where do you live now?
"Nashville, Tenn."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I am a physical education teacher at Glengarry Elementary School here in Nashville. I am in my 21st year teaching."
Tell us about your family.
"I have been married to Andy Lane, who has worked for Lipscomb Athletics for 21 years. We have a daughter LeEllen who attends Lipscomb Academy."
Stephanie's e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com.

SHELBURNE FALLS — Wanna' be an extra in "The Judge"?
Boston Casting Inc. will hold an open casting call for Shelburne Falls area residents for scenes that are to be shot for the movie this summer.
The casting call will be held next Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Buckland Town Hall, at 17 State St. The audition is open to residents 18 years old and older, and the casting company is looking for all types of people, but asks that no children be brought to this audition.
"We will be filling in with people in the background," explained Greg Bull, an extras casting director with Boston Casting. "We will want people in the background, walking on the streets or being in the shops — regular people doing what they're doing."
"We start filming June 3," he said. "We'll be filming Monday through Friday, about 12 to 14 days in Shelburne Falls."
He said a casting call will also be held in Boston on May 18, and that the reason for holding both on the same date is so that the local casting call will be mostly for local people.
"It's your town, and we're guests, and want you guys to be involved," he said. "It's also a chance for us to meet the local people."
Boston Casting asks those auditioning to bring photos of themselves to the audition. If you don't have printed photos of yourself, an electronic image could be emailed to Boston Casting, said Bull.
Boston Casting is also looking for cars and pickup trucks for film scenes, with models from the 1980s up through 2000. Those who have a vehicle for consideration are asked to provide a clear photo of it.
Boston Casting is a 22-year-old company that has cast principal actors and extras for several movies, including "Labor Day," which was partially filmed in Shelburne Falls last summer.
The latest Warner Bros. movie, "The Judge," will star Robert Downey Jr. It is a drama about a successful lawyer (Downey) who comes home for his mother's funeral and learns that his estranged father is a murder suspect. The all-star cast is to include Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Leighton Meester and Vincent d'Onofrio.

DevDugal needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 148 designs submitted by 27 freelance designers.
H & A Holdings Group
H&A Holdings Group is a private capital group focused on buy and build "best of breed" assets which embody long-term value and sustainability through strategic acquisition criteria and a defined management approach. With diversity within the real estate, infrastructure, alternative energy, and specialty gas sectors, H&A is aggressively delivering growth expectations, while maintaining a conservative approach.
We need to create a brand identity that is subtle and profesional. Think finance industry. Clear and to the point.
This is also joining of two existing companies. So maybe a play on that if applicable.
the target audience are partners, investors and colleagues performing due diligence on our organization. There will not be an e-commerce portion to our business. Primarily creating a brand to showcase the who, what, where and how about us. The audience is professional, high net worth and business oriented.
The logo should not be over the top. Looking forward to see what you can come up with.
Blue, white, grey
Red, maroon, white, grey
Please feel free to experiment with colors if you have something fresh!
The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

Volvo is set to deploy their first car in the Australian V8 Supercars series in just a few weeks, and based on the way their new 650 horsepower Polestar V8 sounds, their competitors should be afraid. Very afraid.
Is this this 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 the meanest-sounding Volvo engine in history? I'd wager that it is. When this baby revs all the way to 7,500 RPMs, you're gonna hear some serious shit.
God, listen to that engine. It's like pure fear in sound form. Can't wait to hear it on the track.

Fighting Weight: The Path to (Muscular) Prosperity, GQ's Weekly Workout with Paul Ryan
Paul Ryan: Even if you still don't really know who Mitt Romney's VP is (besides his taste in music, his favorite books, and his tailoring preferences), you probably know that he's a fanatic for P90X. That the Wisconsin congressman does it every day, and even leads classes on the stuff.
You probably also have an idea of what P90X is: a nauseatingly tough, non-stop, hour-long barrage of ercises meant to keep your heart rate up and your muscles confused. And if you've seen that picture of Ryan with his shirt off, looking lean and mean, you know it's gotta work.
We decided to send our own soldier into the P90X trenches with Ryan, to be his long-distance battle buddy for the next 90 days—or at least until the election. We want to be there beside him feeling the painful buildup of lactic acid. We want to feel the fear of landing flat on our face when we attempt that last diamond push-up. We want to descend to the hopeless depths of work-out hell, and there, to peer into Paul Ryan's soul.
Introducing Eric Sullivan, assistant to GQ's Editor in Chief, and your guide through P90X purgatory. Let us enter on the deep and savage way.—Ren McKnight
Dear Congressman Ryan,
You are a fitness god. Your visible abs must number more than the length of your most recent federal-budget-slashing plan (which clocks in at a Grover-Norquist-just-felt-it-move 73 pages). You likely protect your own Secret Service team from ne'er-do-wellers, jihadists, and liberals.
See, the P90X workout is destroying me. And I have no idea how you pull this workout off every morning.
I thought that I was in decent shape. Two or three visits to the gym each week, a combination of cardio and weights, shapely-ish biceps. Surely I could beat a 42-year-old congressman from Wisconsin in a battle of strength.
Now I'm pretty sure you could arm-wrestle me with your thumbnail.
Day one was all confidence. Unwrapping the plastic casing on the box set was downright easy; popping in the DVD a piece of cake. Then I began and immediately felt like I was on the wrong side in the Spanish Inquisition. Pull up after pull up, push up after push up, only the slightest of breaks, non-stop muscle-searing pain for one hour.
And then I reached Ab Ripper X.
Ab Ripper X, as you well know, is the 15-minute contortion-fest that P90X guru Tony Horton (who looks like the love child of Don Draper and Matthew Lillard) proudly states puts you through three hundred thirty nine abdominal ercises. Three hundred thirty nine. By the end, my bowels were about to slip out of my belly and onto the floor. One day down, eighty-nine to go.
The rest of the days have gone by in a blur. Arms and shoulders. Legs and back. Yoga. Even a form of martial arts known as Kempo. Thousands of wall squats, crescent lunges, calf raises, concentration curls, side kicks and punches later, all I have to say is: this better make me chiseled.
So, Paul—can I call you Paul?—I'm now a full week in. One-ninth of the way there. I'm learning a lot from you, and about you. I understand the intensity and focus by which you operate. I understand that the only way to move forward is to push yourself harder than the next guy, and that you are your own greatest limitation. Thanks.
Now can you please learn from us and get a few new suits that fit? Share that hard-earned physique with the citizens of this great nation—it's the least you could do.
Yours truly,
Eric Sullivan

the same unanswerable question: was it caused by climate change?
And every time, some prominent name or public figure, fed up with media coverage or with the persistence of skepticism about science or the lack of action, throws statistics out the window and says yes. Or says something like "Irene's got a middle name, and it's Global Warming", as 350.org founder Bill McKibben wrote in the Daily Beast. That in turn draws legitimate pushback, further polarizes the public discussion about climate change, and makes some long-time participants of the debate want to smash their head against a wall.
The good news is that this cycle has been going on for long enough that people have finally began to reword the question. In Climate Central, Michael Lemonick tried "Is climate change making this storm worse than it would have been otherwise?". That is a slightly better than the staple question, but still demands more certainty than can really be provided by the evidence.
The New York Times asked the subtly different, but far more sensible question: "Are hurricanes getting worse because of human-induced climate change?". By shifting from the particular storm to the sequence of storms over time, it becomes a question we can actually answer with data and statistics. As the article by Justin Gillis finds, scientists including NOAA's Tom Knutson, who I worked with on a related subject, are divided on the interpretation of past data on hurricane intensity.
Hurricane Irene was a reminder of one of factor that should draw more attention in the climate change and hurricanes discussion: rain. The worst damage from Irene came from the heavy rains and floods in Vermont and surrounding areas (the above photo is from CBC News). You can see the data yourself on the USGS real-time streamflow page for the state, a fantastic resource for everyone from regional planners to recreational paddlers (my old haunt the Millstone River in New Jersey reached almost triple the flood stage on Sunday) which may be subject to budget cuts.
If I had to place money on which feature of tropical cyclones or hurricanes would increase the most because of climate change, I'd bet on rainfall, ahead of other metrics like intensity (wind speed) or surge height. Warmer water means more evaporation; warmer air can hold more water.
That doesn't mean the flooding in Vermont was caused by human-induced climate change. But it might mean that we can get more agreement on the answer to the New York Times question.

All we need to do is build a couple more wind turbines. That will take care of our hurricane problems.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Maurice Smith era continued its dominance as the Georgia College women's basketball team (2-0) decimated the USC Aiken Pacers (2-1), 74-55. The Bobcats had five scorers in double-digits.
For the second game in a row senior Chimere Jordan (Gray, Ga.) led all scorers. Jordan tallied 19 points, while shooting 50 percent (7-14) from the field. She also chipped in with seven boards, two blocks and two steals.
Georgia College took the lead 2-1 on a layup by Tammeisha Law (Athens, Ga.) and would not relinquish the lead from there. The Bobcats went up by as many as 12 during the first half, finishing off the first stanza with a 29-20 lead.

Literary fans know
In the September issue of Harper's, Vollmann explores his FBI file in a brilliant, chilling essay about America and privacy, keyed to the strange experience of discovering he was suspected of being the Unabomber.
"I read his manifesto when it was published," Vollmann writes. "Angry, pitiless, certain of its righteousness, intelligent but fatally incapable of proportionality and discrimination, it made a repellent impression."
Repellent to him, maybe, but an unidentified informant connected it to Vollmann. He was one of seven writers so accused; his work was described as "anti-progress, anti-industrialist," a characterization so vague as to apply to almost any writer -- such as, for example,
To get his FBI file -- access to his
When it comes to Vollmann, the writing is always as compelling as the facts, and these facts are tremendously compelling. It turns out that being a Unabomber suspect was both the start of his problems and the least of them. Although the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, has been in custody since 1996, the surveillance of Vollmann continued. The FBI parked outside of his house. It tracked his movements. Twice border guards have detained him for no reason, in 2002 and again in 2005.
The suspicion of Vollmann as a terrorist was unfounded from the first and now, with Kaczynski in prison, is clearly irrelevant. And yet the surveillance continued, and may still be ongoing. In Harper's, he notes, "A draft of this article arrived with the envelope cut open and taped shut."

Wisdomprevious next
Wisdom is the thoughtful interplay of purpose and virtue in our lives. It is the ability to discern what is true, right, important or lasting and to act in keeping with this knowledge.
In many traditions, wisdom is seen as a blend of compassion and knowledge which are shaped into tangible action through the practice of other virtues. Together, knowledge and compassion give us the ability to perceive things as they really are, to care deeply, and to act in ways that serve the well-being of that which we cherish.
We grow toward wisdom only with patience and practice. Wisdom takes a lifetime of cultivation. If we seek wisdom, insights emerge that guide our day to day actions. Over time, these small particulars accumulate as our unique contribution to the world.

At 2954 lbs, the enormous-nostriled Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 SuperLeggera is the lightest Lambo currently made. At 561 HP, it's also the most powerful Gallardo. Now this is our type of green car.
Lambo managed to decrease the weight between the LP560 and LP570 by 154 Lbs through the extensive use of carbon fiber in the body and interior. Power comes courtesy of a direct injection 5.2 liter V10 shared with Audi R8 5.2 FSI and here hits 60 MPH in 3.4 seconds, continuing on to 202 MPH.
Do want.
Somehow we feel a connection of sorts with the SuperLeggera. A kinship. Two dying breeds huddled together for warmth. We're OK with that.

The previous time the Panthers visited the Hurricanes, the visitors locker room looked more like the waiting room at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Three players sat on folding chairs in various state of injury from goalie Jose Theodore to Dmitry Kulikov and Scottie Upshall. The dour looks on their faces reflected the final score, a romp by the home team.
Tuesday night, the last-place Panthers turned the tables on the division-leading Hurricanes in their building.
Playing as division rivals for the final time (at least for now), the Panthers put on a clinic in the third period to blow past host Carolina 4-1 at PNC Arena to snap a six-game winless streak.

"It's been a few weeks here since we got some reward," said coach Kevin Dineen, who served as the Hurricanes' captain in 1997 when the franchise moved south from Hartford.
"I wasn't disappointed with our tempo of our game the past few outings. The results just haven't been there. It was nice to get some on the power play, get the win, get the goaltending. It was a pretty complete effort. Honestly, there's a big sigh right now. We needed to take a breath and get two points."'
The Hurricanes' 32 points were by far the fewest of any divisional leader in the Eastern Conference. Carolina, which has lost four straight, was jumped in the standings by Winnipeg (34 points now) Tuesday and dropped into a tie with New Jersey for seventh in the east.
The Panthers, who move to a more Canadian-centric division next season as the Hurricanes stay in the mid-Atlantic, won just nine of 40 games played here since the building opened in 1999.
Florida, 6-2 losers here on March 2, have won three of the past five games in Raleigh as the Panthers split the four-game series with Carolina this season. Florida continues its season-long five-game road trip Thursday in Manhattan against the Rangers.
"I couldn't let my teammates go out there without me,'' said Shawn Matthias, who was sick all day Tuesday but got well enough to play — and score Florida's third goal. "I didn't care how bad I felt earlier, this feels pretty good right now.''
The Panthers played a strong game throughout and had plenty of chances against a Carolina team that lost a shootout in New York the night before. Florida was outshooting the Hurricanes 28-22 going into the third yet the score was tied at 0.
Florida changed that 7:39 into the third when Tomas Fleischmann took a Tomas Kopecky feed and beat Dan Ellis.
Later, Marcel Goc made it 2-0 as he redirected Filip Kuba's shot on a 5-on-3 power play chance.
The Panthers hadn't scored a power play goal in the previous nine games. Not to be outdone, Matthias got his ninth at the tail end of the power play by jamming the puck home.
Carolina got a power play goal of its own (only its fifth on home ice all year) with 2:33 left, but Jacob Markstrom would let nothing else pass. Markstrom, who watched Scott Clemmensen make Florida's previous two starts, was terrific in stopping 33 shots.
Markstrom had surrendered the initial goal within the opening three shots in his past four starts. Tuesday, the Hurricanes didn't solve Markstrom until the outcome had all but been decided.
"The power play was timely and stepped up in the third. It could be frustrating when we're not winning and it was 0-0 in the third. But we kept doing what we had been doing. It was a great period. The puck finally bounced our way."'
The Panthers had a player make his NHL debut for the sixth time this season as enforcer Eric Selleck took over for George Parros.
Selleck, 25, got into a pair of fights in his game Sunday with the AHL San Antonio Rampage — knowing Parros was injured the night before and the Panthers were watching.
Tuesday, Selleck fought Kevin Westgarth late but the bout was over quick. Selleck had to be helped from the ice after taking a punch flush in the face. Dineen didn't have much of an injury update.
"He played really well, played a couple of really good periods for us," Dineen said. "He showed he can be very comfortable in this. Unfortunately, he took one in the button there at the end. We'll see where he's at. He's a tough kid. It was unfortunate but that's our sport."
• Matthias missed the morning skate with "flu-like symptoms" but was in the lineup. Quinton Howden was recalled from San Antonio but didn't play. Howden will likely stick around with Selleck questionable.

No doubt you have better things to do than check the WSJ obsessively to watch Microsoft (MSFT) and Yahoo (YHOO) duke it out, but if so, you've missed some fun in the past 12 hours.
First, Microsoft confirmed our earlier report that Steve Ballmer was still deliberating between fighting, walking, and ponying up, that the Yahoo situation would be resolved in "very short order," and that Steve wouldn't pay a dime more than it was worth.
Then Yahoo responded to this jab by announcing that its Google search partnership would be announced within a week. Translation: If you don't want to become even more irrelevant in this business, better pony up.
Then, within a few hours, Microsoft responded to this Yahoo counter-punch by saying that it was leaning toward going hostile. Translation: Jerry, I'm going to get your ass fired if it's the last thing I do:
Microsoft late Thursday was leaning toward going hostile in its pursuit of Yahoo, according to people familiar with the matter, with an announcement likely Friday. But the people cautioned that the situation was fluid as discussions continued and said the software company could change tack before announcing its decision.
And there's something else in this latest WSJ rewrite that could be important. The price Microsoft is willing to pay has already gone up once this week: On Wednesday, Microsoft unofficially increased its bid to $33 (in the WSJ). And now, the WSJ talks about how, if Microsoft goes hostile, Yahoo's biggest shareholders will want $35-$37 and the "people familiar with the matter" do not reject this price out of hand.
True--you don't want to read too much into something that doesn't appear in a third-party story, but the WSJ's fine reporters Delaney, Guth, and Karnitschnig surely discussed this $35-$37 demand with the "people familiar with the matter." And if the "people familiar with the matter" had considered this to be a "dope-smoking" asking price, we expect that the WSJ would have played that up. (Just three weeks ago, don't forget, Microsoft was ranting about cutting the bid from the then $29ish).
So, in two days, we've gone from "$31, tops" to "$33" to a non-categorical rejection of a $35-$37 price range. And if Microsoft is willing to go hostile at $35-$37 (call it $35), why on earth wouldn't it just bid $35 and get this thing over and done with? Jerry's playing this brilliantly--brilliantly--but if he turns up his nose at $35 and then Steve rages off and pulls the bid, Yahoo shareholders are going to storm the Sunnyvale campus with torches and pitchforks.
But will Steve really pull the bid? In our opinion, Steve really has displayed some weakness this week. And that, combined with the threat of a Google search deal, may just give Yahoo the cojones to hold out for the "upper $30s" dope-smoking price it's always wanted.

NFL, authorities seize fake merchandise
NFL officials and federal agents say they've seized more than $20 million in fake sports goods total since 2016
NFL officials and federal agents say they've seized more than $20 million in fake sports goods total since 2016
The Houston Police Department has seized about $500,000 in fake sports merchandise in 2016, leading to the arrest of five people, the detention of several more and the disruption of at least eight illegal business operations, officials announced Thursday.
The department's investigation is tied to a joint effort known as Operation Team Player – an ongoing operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The operation targets counterfeit sporting goods from all of the major sports leagues.
In addition to the HPD's efforts, the NFL and federal agents announced they've seized more than $20 million in fake sports merchandise total since 2016. The operation, which will continue through Super Bowl weekend and this year, has led to more than 50 arrests and convictions across the country.
This weekend, undercover officers will patrol the streets near the NRG stadium to arrest anyone they suspect of selling counterfeit NFL merchandise or tickets.
"Every year we see fans that arrive to the stadium on game day only to be turned away at the gate," Michael Buchwald, NFL senior counsel, said at a press conference Thursday morning. "The quality of counterfeit tickets can be sophisticated, but it will not get you into the stadium on game day."
Mark Dawson, agent in charge of special investigation in Houston for Homeland Security Investigations, said the revenue generated from counterfeit merchandise is often funneled into other criminal activities.
Counterfeit rings have been tied to human trafficking, child labor and drug smuggling, he said.
But counterfeit sporting goods are only the tip of the iceberg, said Alan Rosen, Harris County Precinct 1 Constable.
Officials said counterfeit hoverboards, medical supplies and automotive parts have all been seized in Houston since last year.
Dolores DiBella, NFL legal affairs vice president, said the message and steps to guard against scams are simple.
"Watch out for criminals who are looking to scam consumers and illegally profit off the popularity of the NFL and your home team," she said.
Only purchase merchandise from trusted sources, she added.

I was waiting for a long time to try this cake. It looked soooo.. good and the reviews were great. When SSB announced this month's theme, the first thing that came to my mind was this cake. It yielded a whole dozen of cupcakes. The cake was soft, moist and tasty, but....the eggy smell was overriding everything else. Though i added two sachets of sucre vanille, it still was there, Otherwise the cake was a superhit. Very healthy and tasty for evening tea. The next time i am thinking of adding lemon zest or orange zest to suppress the eggy smell or does anybody know anyother means to get rid of it ...?
Here is the original recipe. I gave my tweaking fingers some rest and followed the original recipe to a T.
Chiffon CupCakes:
yields 8 large cupcakes (I got 12 medium ones)
Yolk mixture:
40 grams milk
50 grams oil
70 grams egg yolk (about 4 large)
30 grams sugar
70 grams flour
10 grams cornstarch
1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Egg White mixture:
160 grams egg whites (about 5 large)
1/2 tsp cream of tartar (i used lime juice)
80 grams sugar
1. beat egg whites with cream of tartar until it forms soft peaks. Add sugar gradually and peak to stiff peaks
2. Combine all yolk ingredients and mix until smooth
3. add 1/3 of egg whites to yolk mixture, and whisk to combine. Dump and yolk mixture back into the rest of the egg whites and fold gently until smooth and there are no more white streaks.
4. bake at 340F for 20 minutes.

Curiosityprevious next
Also: Inquisitiveness
Curiosity is a hunger to explore and a delight in discovery. When we are curious, we approach the world with a child-like habit of poking and prodding and asking questions. We are attracted to new experiences. Rather than pursuing an agenda or a desired set of answers, we follow our questions where they lead.
Socially, curiosity lets us really listen to other people because we want to know who they are. We open ourselves to the morsels of knowledge and experience they can share with us. We relish having discoveries of our own to share.
Curiosity makes us interested in a broad range of information about the world around us, not only that with direct utility. We learn for the joy of learning.

- How I found a Descendant of Frederick Watkins through my Blog
- In October, 2010, I wrote about a copy of a Diary which I had found in a Secondhand Book shop. The hard bound photocopy of the original diary was written by Frederick Watkins, a young man who sailed from England to Australia in 1885 on board the ship 'Victor'. One of the pages of Frederick's diary is pictured above.
- In the blog post, I stated that it was my desire to find a descendant of Frederick Watkins in order to pass the diary on.
- Frederick Watkins was the 10th son of Thomas Watkins and Elizabeth Ann Crabb, who were born in Devon, England. His journey to Australia began in October, 1885 and he arrived in Maryborough, Queensland in January, 1886.
- I posted several of Frederick's diary entries in October and November of 2010. On August 4, 2011, I discovered a comment from a family history researcher whose husband was a descendant of Frederick posted on one of the posts I had written about the diary.
- The researcher who commented, informed me that her husband descended from one of Frederick Watkin's daughters, Ada Victoria.
- This family historian had been researching the Watkins family for some time, when on a visit to the Box Hill Historical Society in Victoria, she learned that Frederick's diary existed and also that it was held by the State Library of Victoria. While waiting for the Victorian State Library to send her a photocopy of the diary, through a google search, she found my blog about the diary.
- In the comment left on my blog, this reader informed me that Frederick had 'made his way from Queensland to Box Hill in Victoria where he married Mary Jane Brunner Sutton' and had four children - Percival, Ada Victoria, Robert and Edna. She also told me that her husband's grandfather, Frederick Watkins was born to parents Thomas Watkins and Elizabeth Ann Crabb who were farmers in Shebbear, Devon.
- There was no doubt that this was the same Frederick Watkins whose diary copy I had discovered.
- After a number of enthusiastic email conversations, and with no idea yet as to how the copy of the diary ended up in a Bowral, NSW bookstore, it has become evident that a local Historical Society where my reader lives in Queensland is very interested in the story of Frederick Watkins and his diary.
- On my next trip to Queensland, I plan to meet the reader of my blog whose husband is the grandson of Frederick Watkins and to hand over the old copy of the diary which rightly belongs to the family of Frederick.
- I feel very happy that this copy of the diary which tells of Frederick Watkins' journey by sea, from England to Australia in 1885-6, is going home where it belongs.

MIDDLEBURY — The town of Middlebury and a former storeowner have settled a longstanding legal dispute relating to local sales of the herb salvia divinorum.
Middlebury has agreed to withdraw a 2007 emergency health order barring the now-defunct Emporium Tobacco and Gift Shop from selling salvia. At the same time, former Emporium storeowner James Stone has agreed to drop his Vermont Supreme Court action against the town in connection with that 2007 order.

I'm glad I got a little time in at the National Library manuscripts collection today (short hours on Saturday), because they will be closed for bank holiday on Monday. Every vacation I've taken to U.K. or Ireland has had a bank holiday. Now I'll have to figure out what to do both Sunday and Monday, when libraries and most attractions are closed.
Had a nice meeting with some Dublin nanowrimo members, including the MLs (local organizers) and a new writer. We met up at the Library Bar, a lovely lounge in the Grand Hotel that has good decor, bookshelves, chandeliers and beat-up wooden floors, plus a good salad and a pint. Who could ask for more?

The Dead Hensons were an eight-piece San Francisco Bay Area Jim Henson tribute band that played music from various Henson projects, but primarily Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and The Muppet Movie. The band has also covered songs from The Electric Company.
The band name is a play on the Dead Kennedys, a San Francisco Bay Area punk band that formed in the late 1970s.
The band released a 7-inch record with professionally recorded versions of "Pinball Number Count," "Riverbottom Nightmare Band," "The Lonely N," and "The First Day of School."
They have also recorded bootleg and live versions of other Muppet-related songs including "Between," "Can You Picture That?" "Candy Man," "Eleven," "Exit," "Ladybug Picnic," "Movin' Right Along," "Rainbow Connection," and "Subway."
Due to changes of address among members, the band gave its farewell performance at the Bottom of the Hill on December 4, 2009. The special double setlist included "Mr. Bassman," "Jellyman Kelly," "I'm Going to Go Back There Someday," and "A Bear Eats Bear Food."

AddShoppers also lets you track a sale all the way back to the share that generated it. Pretty badass if you ask me.

Many of these features are built-in to Volusion stores…I was thinking of switching to shopify, but, for the same monthly fee, I'm getting a pretty much all-inclusive store from Volusion…why should I have to pay extra for product zoom?..I don't think so, Shopify

Emeril's Sweet Potato-Marshmallow Casserole
Emeril Lagasse's Special Thanksgiving Recipe
Thanksgiving isn't just about the turkey; the side dishes can make or break a fabulous holiday meal. So, as part of his weeklong cook up to Turkey Day, Emeril Lagasse is showing you how to get the most out of your sweet potatoes.
Cooking Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
Bake the sweet potatoes on the foil-lined baking sheet until a thin, pointy knife inserted in the center meets no resistance, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
Once cooled, remove the skins and mash until smooth. (If you have a potato ricer, this works well in helping to remove any stringy fibers, as does a food mill.) In a large bowl combine the potatoes (you should have about 4 cups), sugar, evaporated milk, butter, orange juice, vanilla, salt, orange zest, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace and cloves and beat until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Arrange the marshmallows in an even layer over the top and bake until the marshmallows are lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes. This can be made a day ahead, covered, and refrigerated, then returned to room temperature and baked 35 to 45 minutes before serving.
Makes 8 to 10 servings

Camtown Youth Festival 2018
June 2, 2018
Each year on the 1st Saturday in June at Crown Park
Click the following links to the Camtown informational pages including this year's activities, voluteering, donating, and more.
About Us
Camtown Art Show
Information Vendors
Kids Flea Market
Camas Parks and Recreation Events Coordinator Krista Bashaw wanted to create a summer festival that catered directly to local youth, so she went to the experts – kids. "I wanted to incorporate the students in the planning process because I thought it would be a good learning experience for them and for Camas. Our community youth have a lot to offer our city. This project has shown me – and others – even more how imaginative, intelligent, thoughtful and industrious our youth can be." Working alongside teacher Gail Welsh with active consultation from the students at Welsh's Skyridge Middle School's Leadership Class, and with participation from numerous students and community volunteers, the first Camtown Youth Festival took place on June 22, 2002.
The Camtown Youth Festival is an annual event held the first Saturday in June. The festival offers free admission, a variety of games (large inflatables, carnival, and interactive games), crafts activities, entertainment, food, art show, a kids flea market, and youth information tables. The event is well attended, bringing in over 2,500 participants each year. Additional information on the Camtown Youth Festival can be found in the City of Camas Parks and Recreation Spring and Summer newsletters, press releases in the C-W Post Record, Columbian, and Oregonian newspapers, school flyers, local magazines, libraries, a variety of local stores, or by phone at 360-834-5307.

Kids' Flea Market
The Camtown Kids' Flea Market was designed so youth could have a venue to learn a little bit about business – expense, profit, customer service, product display, time management, communication, and more. The market has blossomed to an activity that draws between 30 to 40 youth vendors each year.
The Flea Market allows kids to sell or trade their home-made arts and crafts or their good, but unwanted toys, games, or clothes. Pre-registration is required: A 10'x10' space is rented (see below for fees) and the vendors provide their own tables, chairs, canopy cover, display décor, supplies, and wares. Visitors can purchase items from our young vendors, or toys/crafts might also be traded at the flea market. Items must be in good condition and children must have adult supervision present.
There are some restrictions to what can be sold at the kids' flea market - we do not allow raffles, ticket sales, food sales, or commercial (new) wares. And, we do not allow any performances or open music at the booths (it detracts from the scheduled entertainment); listening to music via a headset is fine. No adult items are allowed and adults are not allowed to craft youth-related items. Keep it kid-focused, kid-made, and kid-friendly.
Early Bird Registration by May 25: $5.00

Get involved, have some fun, give back to your community – volunteer at the Camtown Youth Festival the second Saturday in June.
Who can volunteer?
Anyone can volunteer! Both long-term and short-term volunteers are used to plan and run the festival. Volunteers come from the schools, churches, social & service organizations, and the community.
Long Term volunteers: Festival planning begins in September with the Camtown Youth Festival Committee and the City of Camas Parks and Recreation. If you are interested in helping with the planning by either being a Chairperson on the Committee or assisting with the committee work, you can contact Krista at the contact information below for a volunteer application. Long-term volunteers must be approved through the application process and are subject to criminal checks and driving record checks.
Short-term volunteers: Many, many volunteers are needed the day of the festival. It takes about 120 volunteers to run the 5-hour event! Volunteer tasks include helping set-up before the event and tear-down after the event, running the games, helping kids with the crafts activities, monitoring the entertainment stages, working with the information tables, working at the kids' flea market, handing out flyers, being runners, and so much more! Any age can volunteer, but children under the age of 14 years must be accompanied by an adult.
Why should I volunteer?
Because we need you! But if that's not enough, here are more reasons why you should volunteer:
- be a good role model to your child
- meet community service hours for your school
- gain experience interacting with the public
- won't be bored at home
- spend some fun time helping with your friends and family
How do I volunteer?
It's easy! Just contact Krista at the information listed above.
What do I do once I've been accepted as a Camtown Youth Festival volunteer?
Once you've been accepted as a Camtown volunteer, your volunteer tasks and "work" time will be arranged with the volunteer coordinator.
Long-term volunteers can expect to meet at least once a month during the planning process. Additional time will be needed depending upon your volunteer responsibilities.
Short-term volunteers - on the day of the festival, at your scheduled time, you will check-in at the "Volunteer Tent" where you will be given a volunteer ID badge and directed to your work area. If you have signed on to help at the festival, you'll be contacted with details as we get closer to the event.
