Sunset is a daily party time in my house. I can see you getting green, but some people have all the luck, you see! When the sun is waltzing off to the western end of the world, we are busy with a not-so-elegant scramble in the house – grown-ups, children, dogs, and animated yoga mats are all in the fray to reach the rooftop first.
The bright yoga mats, bobbing up and down in the racing alleys (read staircase) look forward to this party, as much as the rest of us. They bounce with the same energy. I suspect that our Surya Namaskars have passed on energy to them too!
The purpose of yoga, I was told in my yoga classes is to bring union with the self. Family union is what has happened for us! Three generations on the rooftop, giggling to glory, as we work through individual difficulty levels, competing nonetheless.
The youngest yoga enthusiast in the family, four-year-old Kabir takes pride in out-doing grandmom everyday. He's done with his Sarvanga asana (Shoulder stand), Tad asana (Tree pose), Marjari asana (Cat pose), Titli asana (Butterfly pose), and two rounds of Surya Namsakar, and waits patiently with hands on hips as he watches his 50-year-old grandmother do the same. During the yoga class, roles have reversed with Kabir keeping a watchful eye. Through the day, grandmom usually has ample opportunity to guide him through almost all other activities. Both grandmom and grandson recognize the smile of camaraderie in each other's eyes as they sit in the golden sunset and stretch out in yogasanas.
Love and peace is in the air. It is so every day that we rush upto stretch and breathe and are soon smiling, giggling, playing and we bask in a circle of love. It's not words. It is breathing and yogasanas that charge our physical and mental bodies. The world drops!
The party is on. The music is Ujjai breath, supplemented by Bhastrika pranayama which also provides a change in pace. Yoga asanas are the free-flowing, graceful dance movements that everyone matches by the step – dad, mom, grandmom, grandpa, siblings, kids and their friends. Our dogs jump up in excitement as they sense the joie de vivre in the air. They run and prance around, asking for their share in the fun. As the sun sets, a short meditation session works as a preservative for the happiness that we so exult in.
Milk mugs and snacks find their way to the party, and we marvel at little things around us. As a bird alights on the boundary wall to feed on biscuit crumbs, it is duly made known of our dog's displeasure at their intrusion on their masters' love. We laugh. It is said that love has no boundary,I realized it now. Love truly has no boundary. Yoga is on its way, the union is happening between the whole of creation and me. The dogs will catch on too, right?
The days we miss these family yoga sessions, we know what we are missing. No foreign trip, restaurant dining, or sightseeing in town matches with the simple fun on our rooftop. Thanks to yoga.
More importantly, thanks to our yoga teachers, who have taught us this joyful way of life. No limitation of props, no limitation of finding the perfect space, or perfect time to indulge in a yoga party. It used to happen anytime spontaneously before a meal, with whoever happened to be home, but now my family has now settled for a sunset yoga party, everyday.
Aren't you warm and cosy by now, instead of the green that you might have started with? Perhaps, yoga (yogasana, pranayama and meditation ) is on its way to bring yoga (divine union) in your nest called home.

It's no secret that the City of Chiefland is standing on wobbly financial legs, so, in just one of many ways staff hopes to save money, the city's dump is now off limits to anyone wanting to use it for commercial purposes or for anyone who isn't a city resident.
"We've changed our policy on it," said City Manager Kevin Gay in a phone interview Wednesday.
The city spends $6,600 a year burning the debris that's brought in, he said, but most of that debris comes from commercial interests, such as landscaping and tree businesses, that pay nothing to get rid of unwanted trash burned at the city's facility.
Those businesses get paid by their customers to take the debris away, and then the city pays to have it burned.
"They've been getting a freebee on the city, and it was costing us quite a bit," Gay said.
To add insult to injury, some of the debris has been trucked in from several other counties. But not anymore.
City residents can still use the dump, he said, though they'll have to check in at the city barn where they can pick up a key to unlock a gate. Or, as part of the waste program already in place, they can bag debris and place it on the curb in front of their yards where it will be picked up by the city's waste contractor. Commercial interests should take their debris to the county landfill, he said.
Gay said the move to limit dumping is also important because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been "stern" with regard to the amount of burning that has, until recently, taken place at the facility.
The EPA was looking at having the city purchase a $200,000 incinerator, he said. But now that's not an issue. Materials dropped off at the dump will only have to be burned two or three times a year.

Calisch's Exhibit Opens Friday at Indy Gallery
January 24, 2011
Wabash Art Professor
Doug Calisch
's work will be exhibited at Gallery 924 at the Arts Council of Indianapolis from February 4 through February 25.
Gallery 924
is the city's newest gallery and is located within the offices of the Arts Council of Indiana on North Pennsylvania Street.
Calisch's exhibit, "The Biography of Objects," features a series of found-object assemblages and corresponding photographs. Calisch "rescues" discarded objects that have already served their original purpose and gives them new life and new meaning in these thoughtful and detailed sculptures.
Watch a
video interview with Calisch
, including scenes of the artist in his studio by Wabash senior Drew Palmer. See a photo album of the artist at work
"Visualize a bronzed baby shoe tied to a chessboard, or sealed inside a mason jar," says Calisch. "The relationship of these objects invites us to re-examine our associations with and perceptions of these things - each of us generating our own response to the new combinations."
An opening reception is planned at Gallery 924 during the First Friday Art Tour on Friday, February 4 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Calisch has been working with found objects for more than two decades. "That each collected article shows signs of natural wear or past human activity intrigues me and suggests each sculptural assemblage has an expansive history beyond my involvement with the materials. It is not unlike archeology. The work becomes collaborative, combining my actions with acts previous to mine," says Calisch.
Arts Council of Indianapolis
is a not-for-profit local arts agency building financial support and widespread appreciation for the meaningful engagement in the arts. Its offices — and Gallery 924 — are located at 924 North Pennsylvania Street.

Franchise or Not, Miles Will Stay In Dallas
According to a recent post at Star-Telegram.com the Cowboys will not franchise Miles Austin nor will they sign him to a long term deal. What?
"We don't need to use the franchise tag," said Stephen Jones. "How many times have you seen another team give up a one and a three?"
"It's very difficult for us to make an offer when we don't know what the system is going to be. I'm not saying that it won't happen, but it may be difficult," Stephen Jones said. "We want to win next year, but we want to win in the future."
Jerry Jones was quoted on ESPN radio saying the Cowboys will do whatever it takes to retain Austin.
"We're just not going to have Miles Austin any place but with the Dallas Cowboys," Jerry Jones said on ESPN/103.3 FM radio.
I'm sure that the recent comments from Stephen Jones will send some into a tizzy and spur on an onslaught of posts raising the panic alert, but all Jones did was explain the course of action regarding Miles Austin and the current climate surrounding the yet to be determined collective bargaining agreement.
Obviously the owners want to reduce the rate of salary growth while the players union want the opposite. It may take some time before they come to an agreement that suits both of them.
With the financial picture so cloudy and hard to predict, it makes it difficult for all NFL teams to negotiate long term deals with their current players.
Would you go out and buy a new house after finding out that your company was laying off 300 workers next month?
How can the Cowboys negotiate a big deal with Austin when there's even a slight chance that there still might be a cap, and if the owners get their way, a smaller cap…
Another huge contract on top of those already given to Roy Williams, Tony Romo, DeMarcus Ware and Marion Barber could suffocate the Cowboys and prevent them from making any other additional moves.
Hopefully, a new collective bargaining agreement will be in place by March 5, 2010, thus making it easier for the Cowboys and every other NFL franchise to navigate through their offseason plans and better prepare for the new season.
Miles Austin isn't going anywhere. He is now one of our most prized possessions and there is no way the Cowboys would risk losing him.

Being invited to someone else' house for Christmas is a treat for many people. If that opportunity arises for you, make sure you follow proper house guests etiquette, which includes the following steps…
House Guests Etiquette
- Bring a treat. You will probably have gifts that you plan on giving to the family, but be sure that you bring something sweet to eat during the party as well. Some suggestions are:
- Chocolates
- Pudding
- Caramelized Nuts
If you are not sure what to bring to the party, call the host and offer to bring something of their choosing. They might even have you bring the drinks, cheese, or any other part of the menu.
- Offer to help, but do not get in the way. While you are at the Christmas party, keep an eye on the host to see if he/she is getting stressed. If you sense that the host is unable to handle everything that is going on, you should offer to help. However, if the host denies you and doesn't want your help, kindly consent and get out of the way. If your host wants to do it on their own, even if it causes them stress, they don't want to trip over you in the meantime.
- Be flexible. Because you are the guest, you do not get to be in charge of the day and the schedule. You should set your entire day or two aside and allow the host to plan it out for you. Besides, it might be nice to just relax once in a while and let everyone else make the decisions for you!
- Watch for problems. As the party ensues, watch for potential problems and try your best to avoid them. For example, if your kids are running around the host's home, causing a ruckus, it might be time to get them into bed. If you are not staying the night, you may want to just take the kids out for some cool air and give them a little chat.
- Don't demand anything. Let your host carry out what they have planned. If you are craving a certain condiment, you might have to just use some self-control. If your favorite team is playing on TV after dessert, you might have to watch it online later, or prepare ahead and set the timer on your TV at home to get it recorded.
- Enjoy yourself. Even if you are typically a scrooge at Christmas time, just try to enjoy yourself. By accepting the invitation to be a guest, you have made a commitment to enjoy the holiday. Put a smile on your face, participate in the singing and games, and encourage others to join in as well.
- Be grateful. Thank your host for everything that he/she does for you. Thank them for the food, the fun games, the good company, and simply for hosting the party. Never complain about anything your host does. Make sure to follow up with a thank you card or a letter about a week later.
If you're the host, you might want to check out our House Guest Furniture article that has some great ideas on how to set up your guest room.

Sourcer necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 721 diseños de 216 diseñadores freelance.
PicYou is a photo sharing site similar to Twitpic, Plixi, Instagr.am.
Users upload and share photos. The site will be very streamlined and friendly for all users. Customization will be a big part of the site as well as expression and tapping into the teen and celebrity demographic.
We want to have a simple word mark logo where the font type, color and embellishment plays a large part of the identity. Something that is memorable and easy to read. "Pic You" - People should be able to see it's two words similar to "You Tube".
**** Suggestion Below ****
Font Type
It makes sense to try these two styles of font. Obviously, you are open to try others as well. Just a starting off point.
1. A more fluid writing / cursive type font like vimeo.com, path.com.
(just examples but the font type needs to be very easy to read)
2. A pixel type font that is square and very "bit" looking and sleek/concise.
We want a color that is different (not just standard Twitter / light blue colors), yet friendly. Blues, Whites, Grays, Blacks. Or even Red or Orange might be good options.
PicYou logo might look better with the capital P and Y than all lower case but please try accordingly.
Other site logos and our thoughts on them to give you an idea
vimeo.com - stylized font, simple but a tad plain
path.com - simple yet has a memorable unique feel
twitpic.com / plixi - friendly but maybe a tad bubbly
youtube.com - bold but less polished than some of the newer site logos. Still very memorable.
http://bit.ly/flfSuk - young feeling but quite memorable as well. Nice use of the "!".

During the course of last week, prices for Eastern European sunflower rose slightly following the current strength noted in the soya market. Planting in Rumania and Bulgaria has now virtually been completed, and weather conditions have so far been ideal for a good start to the 2016 crop.
Statistics just released suggest that total acreage planted with sunflower in these two countries is 5-7% higher than 2015, which, when added to the large crops forecast to be grown in Russia and Ukraine (which are currently taking advantage of the good weather conditions in those regions), tend to suggest a big 2016 European sunflower crop. Further plantings in Ukraine and in Russia could still be undertaken if (as seems to be likely) weather conditions continue to be good.

NEW YORK (AP) — With the arduous campaign to succeed Mayor Michael Bloomberg finally in its final stage, New Yorkers now have their choices before them: stick with policies that have kept the city relatively safe and prosperous, or break from a past some residents complain has nurtured income inequality and racial divisions.
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio became the undisputed Democratic nominee Monday after primary runner-up Bill Thompson withdrew and eliminated the need for a runoff election. Republican nominee Joseph Lhota quickly went on the attack and painted the Nov. 5 general election as a contest between two major-party opponents with vastly different visions of how the city should function after 12 years of Bloomberg.
"Bill de Blasio's change is radical. My change is practical. It's straightforward. It's to be able to build upon what we have done, not tear down what has happened," Lhota said at a news conference.
Democrats have not elected a mayor since 1989, yet they outnumber Republicans 6 to 1 among registered voters, presenting Lhota with an uphill climb. However, the GOP's unlikely mayoral winning streak could continue if he "runs as a manager," according to Kellyanne Conway, a Washington-based pollster who has followed the race.
"Managers tend to do pretty well in New York City," said Conway, who is not affiliated with any candidate. "He's literally the guy who can keep trains running on time and keep taxes low, and that has appeal to people."
De Blasio, whose current elected post charges him with ensuring city government is serving residents, has run an unabashedly liberal campaign, calling for a tax hike in the city's wealthiest neighborhoods to pay for universal pre-kindergarten, reforming the controversial policing strategy called "stop-and-frisk," and demanding greater income equality to "put an end to the tale of two cities."
He also placed his interracial family at the center of his campaign. An ad narrated by his 15-year-old son helped fuel his meteoric rise from fourth to first in the primary campaign's final month.
Lhota, who served as the head the region's transit agency and was a deputy mayor to Rudy Giuliani, has vowed to continue many of Bloomberg's policies.
He is an ardent defender of stop-and-frisk, which allows officers to stop people deemed to be acting suspiciously, saying it helped drive down crime. A federal judge ruled it discriminates against minorities and ordered a monitor to oversee changes.
Lhota has mocked de Blasio's plan to raise taxes, saying it would never pass the Legislature. He has suggested funding pre-kindergarten by cutting other government expenses. And he has taken issue with de Blasio's campaign theme.
"I actually believe the 'tale of two cities' is a divisive device that he's using," Lhota said. "It's a divide-and-conquer strategy."
Lhota aims to showcase the inclusiveness of his own campaign by meeting with a Democratic powerbroker, the Rev. Al Sharpton, on Tuesday night. Sharpton did not make an endorsement in the Democratic primary. De Blasio has met with him multiple times, including at a rally at the civil rights icon's Harlem headquarters Saturday morning.
An afterthought until early August, de Blasio rocketed past former front-runners Christine Quinn, the City Council speaker, and Anthony Weiner, an ex-congressman, in the polls. He also received a boost in the campaign's final days when, in an interview, Bloomberg derided de Blasio's campaign as "racist" and "class warfare," criticisms that galvanized supporters.
Bloomberg, who declined to make an endorsement, refused to answer questions about his comments Monday during his first news conference since the remarks were published. Lhota also dubbed de Blasio's campaign "class warfare" Monday.
De Blasio did not discuss Lhota at the Monday rally. But Thompson's decision to drop out prevents a costly fortnight that would have had Democrats wasting time they could have spent campaigning against Lhota. Had Thompson not dropped out, a runoff election would have been held Oct. 1.
"Bill de Blasio and I want to move the city forward," Thompson said at a news conference Monday morning. "This is bigger than any one of us."
In unofficial returns with 99 percent of precincts reporting, de Blasio had 40.3 percent of the vote, slightly more than the 40 percent threshold needed to win outright. Thompson was second with 26.2 percent.
Independents Adolfo Carrion Jr., a former Bronx borough president, and Jack Hidary, a tech entrepreneur, will also be on the November ballot.

This cat is either truly brave or has a very poor sense of self-preservation. While hanging around with a Louisiana swamp tour, hoping to score some free chicken, this ballsy tabby decides to annoy an alligator away from its quarry. The best part is, it actually works.
I'm relieved that this didn't turn out to be a kitty snuff film, but I must admit, I'm surprised the alligator gave up that easily. I guess having a cat stick its claws in your eye is more obnoxious than raw meat is desirable.
My favorite part is when one of the videographers asks what the cat's endgame is. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with that pink delicious stuff right below the alligator's mouth.

The Onion: So, how's it going?
Neil Gaiman: Well, it's sheer madness, of course, doing a signing tour at this time of year. I was really looking forward to it, a giant countrywide tour, going to the Arizonas and the Floridas and the Texases, all the nice warm places. So of course I'm signing in the Pittsburghs and the St. Louises and the Madisons. Plus a couple of days in L.A. and a couple of days here in San Francisco in the fog and the wet.
O: So you normally enjoy signing tours?
NG: "Enjoy" is the wrong word. It's... There are bits of it that I really enjoy. I love doing the readings. The readings are the fun bits... The readings are probably the things that actually keep me going on these. If I couldn't do the readings, I wouldn't do the tours. I get to stand up there and read to a bunch of adults who in many cases nobody's read to in years, since they were about five. They just squat on the floor. That's enormously enjoyable. The actual physical process of signing lost its romance for me about 12 years ago. Occasionally, you get little moments of triumph. I keep being told on this signing tour, "Oh, you've set a new record! The largest signing before you was..." I don't know, Martha Stewart or something. It's rather nice, but it's also really exhausting. There is no romance to it. And I thought there was, once, before I was an author. Then, if you told me, you know, "Hey! You'll get to do a 21-city tour of America, and do 30 signings over six weeks," I'd have thought, "How glorious! Travel and hotels and things." Only it's not particularly glorious. And you stumble into those hotels at midnight and set the alarm for six o'clock the next morning to make the next plane out, and so on. So it's like everything. Once you actually get what you want, you don't really want it any more.
O: Many authors I've spoken to have seemed to enjoy being famous but not really recognized. Then book tours come along and sort of ruin all that.
NG: Well, you still don't get recognized, really. The amount of people who've seen you is so small. I love being... Well, no, fame I can take or leave, really. I'm probably slightly more famous than I've been comfortable with. Famous enough to have my phone calls returned is about as famous as I want to be. But even so... You sign for perhaps 10,000 people on a book tour. That's not really all that many people. More people would see you if you were on an infomercial at four o'clock in the morning. So in any real terms, I'm not famous. The little ugly kid who played Bud Bundy [David Faustino] is much more famous than I am.
O: Didn't you move somewhere in the Midwest in order to avoid your fans?
NG: What? No! [Laughs.] No, not at all, really.
O: Really? Your press information led me to believe so. In almost as many words, actually.
NG: How peculiar! Yes, I saw something in there about how incredibly... Well, it's odd: Some newspaper has inferred from that press release that I refuse to divulge my age. They've taken some line about how I'm in my late 30s and had a whole thing about it. How can it be that I don't divulge my age when I write "born in 1960" at the beginning of everything? So I don't know. The reason I moved to America is very, very simple: I have a nice American wife, and we have three very nice English-slash-American children, and it was time for that side of the family to get a crack at the kids. Mary's mother was getting on in years, and they'd all moved from relatively sunny Los Angeles back to the old ancestral stomping ground of Minneapolis. So we were looking to join that. Plus, I told my wife that I'd really like an Addams Family house. You can't get them in England! You can get real Tudor houses built by real Tudors in Tudor times, but one thing you can't get is a proper, honest-to-goodness Addams Family house. I wanted Victorian Gothic. I wanted proper creepy. I wanted a tower. So I set out to find one and found one immediately. That's another wonderful thing about America. They throw all those things out! And they look so cool. They really are wonderful American Gothic houses. Creepy! Every year, we get in supplies of Halloween candy and put out a stack of comics. And every year, we put away the candy and the stack of comics because no kids actually dare come up to our house. Just never turn up. "I'm probably slightly more famous than I've been comfortable with. Famous enough to have my phone calls returned is about as famous as I want to be."
O: You're touring to support your new novel Stardust, which was published first as a sort of comic book...
NG: As a serialized illustrated narrative. Basically, DC had left me the rights for all the words. I don't think they thought they were worth very much. But it began... Well, the history is actually kind of fun. Here we are in 1999, and I'm on the road promoting a book which, much to my delight, is actually lurching its way onto bestseller lists, which Neverwhere did in hardback a tiny little bit. But Stardust is just galloping out there and making friends like a large and affectionate dog. Bouncing up the bestseller lists. Never done that before. And it began in 1991, actually, when we won the World Fantasy Award. That night, I found Charlie Vess, the artist, and we talked about the next thing we could do. Originally, it was going to be a comic, and then about a year later Charles called me up and said, "How would you like to do it as prose?" I said it sounded good, but why? And he said, "I hate the idea of drawing the next panel. I'm very tired of just drawing the next panel. I want to try something where I get to go on to the next painting." And I said okay. So we put together a big presentation for publishers at the World Fantasy Convention in 1993. All of the big ones were there, and we did this pitch, this presentation, of Stardust with illustrations and lovely original paintings, and we said, "This is what it'll be: a big, illustrated, beautiful book." And we waited for the big pile-on when the auction started. And nobody bid at all! They all said that they were scared and troubled by the fact of all those pictures. They couldn't cope with it. And DC Comics said, "We are not scared or troubled by pictures! We've been doing pictures for ages!" So we negotiated a deal with them. But not for the print rights--I got a whole prose novel because DC didn't think anybody would really read one! And when I finally finished it, I sent the manuscript to my editor at Avon and told her, "Here's something I think you'll really enjoy reading." I hadn't really thought it through beyond that. And I got this phone call from her saying, "I love it! I really want to publish it, and I've given it to the publisher, but there's only one problem: He hates fantasy." So the next morning the phone rings, it's the publisher, and he says, "First, I hate fantasy. Second, I love Stardust. We're publishing it, and we're launching Spike Books with it." And I said, "Okay. What's Spike Books?" He says, "Spike Books is our pop-culture line!" I said, "Okay. Why is a fairy tale set in Victorian England pop culture?" And he says, "Because you wrote it!" So I discovered at that point that, merely by existing, I am pop culture.
O: Why, congratulations!
NG: Thank you so much. I'm so proud. So I got to launch the Spike line along with a biography of Keith Moon [Moon: The Life And Death Of A Rock Legend]. Which I desperately want, actually. Hopefully, now that I'm a member of the Spike family, they'll slip me a free copy. So, that's the Stardust story. I had to do some little noodly rewrites that always happen before a manuscript is allowed to actually be finished, and we published it. I didn't really expect anything. The point when I started to go, "Hang on, this is really weird and different; they're awed with this one," was the point where, over a two-week period, Booklist, Kirkus, and Publisher's Weekly all gave it a starred review. "Oh," I thought, "this is really weird." Since then, we've been getting reviews in of the kind that normally you couldn't actually get by kidnapping the reviewers' children, and which are lovely. People are saying, "Look! It's a fairy tale!" There hasn't really been a fairy tale for adults since The Princess Bride, and that was some 20 years ago or so. And I've done something that people like. Not that I've never done anything that people like before, but my stuff is done for me, always with myself as the audience. And I didn't really expect Stardust to do what it's done. All of a sudden, okay, great! I've written a book that lots of people like. Which is good, because the next thing I write, they probably won't. That's going to be much more problematic, because it's full of gods, zombies, and blow jobs. It's going to be my big weird American novel.
"It's about how, when people came to America, they brought their gods with them. And then they just weren't very interested in them any more."
O: In the Lolita sense of a big weird American novel, or more of the Travels With Charley sense?
NG: It has a working title of American Gods. I've been vaguely working on it while I've been on the road, along with some short stories. It's about how, when people came to America, they brought their gods with them. And then they just weren't very interested in them anymore. So these gods are now wandering America, unemployed, unloved, depressed. Odin pumping gas, that sort of thing. A beautiful Babylonian love goddess, hooking. It's using gods in the clash between old gods and the new gods of the telephone, the Internet, the freeway... It uses them as a metaphor for the way people arrived in America, treated America, and have or do not have beliefs in America. The nature of belief, American beliefs. It seemed like time to write something about America. It's a really peculiar country, in case you hadn't noticed. I don't know how much I've learned about it, but everything that I have learned will go in. Oddly enough, everything about the book came into focus for me when I had to go to Scandinavia. I was in Iceland. It was much in the way of how I've been living here and writing books about England such as Neverwhere and Stardust. I may wind up staying in Ireland to write the American book to keep America in my head.
O: How is the book structured? I only ask because, you know, most novels about America are road novels. It's the sheer size of the place, I suppose.
NG: A lot of this will be a road novel. There are places I need to go, a number of places I need to see. There will definitely be some L.A. stuff. I'm definitely, definitely doing some Wisconsin stuff. It'll be Weird Wisconsin. I don't know if it's a tradition in all Wisconsin towns, but I have seen it in two or three, where they'll drive cars out on the frozen lake and wait for the first thaw day to see them crash through, and that's their lottery... Wisconsin is one of those places that isn't there yet. It isn't that inexplicable funny New Jersey place, where people think it's funny without knowing why. It's sort of... People from sitcoms are from there. Of course the nice people are from there. And it's the only place in the world with The House On The Rock. Which is America; it's Americaland. It exists for the purpose of existing. I've been there with the kids trying to understand it, and it's not meant to be understood. It's a Zen creation. There are amazing antique things next to bad recreations. It's an artificially created Grandma's house that goes on forever, and whenever it occurs to them that it doesn't go on forever enough, they put up a giant new addition. America. There's definitely going to be some Rockies, definitely some New Orleans, and it'll be starting and finishing somewhere really weird and dull. Like Pittsburgh, which seemed weird and disturbing the last time I was there about 1989.
O: Are you going to do much about the American South?
NG: Probably not. I may nip into Florida, because I know Florida a little bit, but I don't feel I know the South well enough to write about it. I've never really been a believer in the whole write-what-you-know thing, but I think you're much better off writing on what you at least know something about. I write specifically about places I've been, and less specifically about places I haven't. I can actually write pretty convincingly about places I haven't been. If I'd never been to the South at all, maybe I could write really good South. Knowing that I don't have it in my head, though, I'll probably stay out of the South. Or maybe I'll go on one of those novelist's expeditions. I've never done one. Maybe I ought to. I'd get to go out and research. The most [research] I ever did was with Neverwhere, when we were filming that for the BBC. Once I'd actually written the TV script, before it was filmed, I got to go on all of the location expeditions under London, in the subway and in the sewers. I got to put on big Wellington boots and walk through the sewers. You see, the power of television is such that all kinds of places the public cannot go can be reached simply by saying you're looking for somewhere to film. Then you're allowed to go. So there were three of us wandering through the sewers and then wandering through the deep sewers and the under-sewers, and at one point you're wandering around up to your waist in human sludge. The thing about London's sewers is that they're really a magnificent feat of engineering. They were all done in the 1860s following the Great Stink. You see, originally, all the sewers just fed straight into the Thames. They all just ran north or south, basically. This was fine until one day it all became a bit much for the Thames. In 1859, people fled London, Parliament closed down, and they had to hang carbolic drapes over the windows and such. At that point, finally, they built a new sewage system. The new system runs west to east, and it was marvelous wandering around in there. It's all hand-built of brick. They're like brick cathedrals. Most of them are not unpleasant at all. Just water running through, the old rivers of London. The Fleet River is entirely underground now, and I'm one of the few people who have ever seen it. I remember asking the old sewerman, who let us down in, what the big misconceptions were. He said, "Well, people think they stink, and they don't stink. And they think there's all sorts of shit down there all the time and there isn't. Third, they think there's all sorts of rats down there, and you hardly ever see a rat." And I'm mentally revising all the stuff I've done for the book about these stinking, rat-filled, shit-covered sewers. So, yes, I actually have done some research. Maybe for American Gods I'll go to bars and strip joints and stuff like that.
"The thing about London's sewers is that they're really a magnificent feat of engineering... they're like brick cathedrals."
O: Do you know yet when you're expecting to have it published?
NG: End of the year. Right now I'm still working stuff out, putting stuff together, jotting stuff down. Probably what will happen is sometime around August, I'll look at how much I have, figure out how much there ought to be, and then hole up and write like a madman.
O: It sounds as if you're slowly becoming more of a prose writer. Do you have any plans to go back to comics?
NG: Well, I'm not doing that much in comics right now. I suppose what I feel is that I got fairly good at writing comics. I learned my craft. There was a period of eight or nine years where I was pretty much a comic-book writer. And I got pretty good at it. On the other hand, when I was writing Sandman, there were other things I wanted to do, as well, most of which I couldn't at the time. Good Omens, which I co-wrote with Terry Pratchett, was done in 1989, when it was taking me two weeks a month to write Sandman. So there was plenty of free time, you see. And I wanted to write more prose--I wanted to do television and film, and I wanted to write a play--but there was no spare time. Most of what I've been doing since I finished Sandman are things I couldn't do back then, like putting Neverwhere on as a BBC TV series, which I learned a lot from, or my Babylon 5 episode, which showed me that you could actually get something close to what you wanted on the TV screen. And these are things that I'm not yet--at least it's my belief--terribly good at. I have not yet written a novel I was satisfied with. Stardust is the nearest I've gotten: I was much more satisfied with that than I was with Neverwhere, with which I was really not terribly happy. It was a good start. I'm hoping, with the next one, that I can really get it right. I'm looking forward to doing another TV series now, because I think I've learned enough to make one I'm happy with. Doing film. It was good doing the Princess Mononoke script. It's all very different than writing comics. They're different media, comics being a collection of static images which, I think, have a lot more in common with prose than with film. It creates effects that are much closer to prose. With film, the thing is moving the whole time. People are actually doing things all the time, actually talking. You have to be less obsessive about your baby. You can't have something you think is perfect, absolutely what you want: You have to know that, no, it's only a blueprint. I just want to make things up, really. All my life, I've felt that I was getting away with something because I was just making things up and writing them down, and that one day there would be a knock, and a man with a clipboard would be standing there and say, "It says here you've just been making things up all these years. Now it's time to go off and work in a bank." Because my grandmother or whoever would always warn me, as they always warn children, "Don't make things up! You know what happens to little boys who make things up!" But they never tell you what happens. As far as I can tell, it involves being able to spend a lot of time at home, plus a bit of international travel, and staying in nice hotels, and lots of very nice people who want you to sign things for them. So.

I sewed up these tops for babies James and Liam, who are just too cute for words, and I'm excited to hopefully finish these up this week. Well, excited and not at the same time - I've really enjoyed working on these quilts! These fabrics are so fun, you can't help but smile when you're working with them. I'm going to back them with some Kona solids, with a nice coin-style stripe in the center to break up the solids a little bit.
|I love a good windy quilt photo
I tried to keep my cool, since I had the munchkin with me and I really don't want to pass on my fear of snakes to him, but I'm pretty sure I kind of shrieked when I saw it.
I'm linking up with Fabric Tuesday today, hop on over and see what everyone else is finishing up this week!

If there is a major outbreak, then yeah maybe getting vaccinated could be Bodhisattva activity (perhaps H.H. the Dalai Lama was administering them in that Youtube video because there was a major outbreak, and he knew that the vaccines he was administering were not full of the garbage listed in the pic I'm going to post below...).
Nowadays though, to get vaccinated would in many cases be in violation of the Tantric precepts:
Why would it be in violation of the above Tantric precept?In [i]Enlightened Journey[/i], Tulku Thondup wrote:"To afflict one's own five aggregates, which are the Buddha families. One should not abuse one's own body but take care of it."
Here's part of the reason:
Other reasons are mentioned within the links on the dangers of vaccines posted throughout this thread (such as http://www.vaccinationcouncil.org/ etc.), which, I ask again, did anyone even bother to read through them at all?
"...'herd immunity', a concept which with regards to vaccination, and contrary to prevalent beliefs, does not rest on solid scientific evidence."
And like I'd said before, as long as nobody here is trying to make vaccines mandatory, then to each their own.

Vitamin D & Its Role in Women & Children
In Post Dates - Think Aloud/Allowed, I began hypothesizing that perhaps Vitamin D has a role in women's post-dates issues. Biochemist Ethel egged my mind (and hers) on. Giant leaps of wonderings came about when it was brought up that calcium deficiencies might affect women's abilities to begin labor or keep the uterus contracting once labor began. Searching "Uterine contractions calcium" pulls up a slew of studies I don't have access to plus most seem to be studying rats and bunnies. But, what if calcium is a crucial mineral to a contracting uterus?
Sometimes I think the most inane things are studied (the effect of a doula, problems with episiotomies, whether uterine rupture can be determined before labor or on admission to the hospital), yet something as interesting or possibly valuable to birthing women and their care providers is left to languor with animal testing.
This topic/post is long. It's going to give basic information about Vitamin D, but calcium is another vital piece to this puzzle as is the need for essential fatty acids to kick off the whole shebang. I am hoping this piece is a jumping off point for all of us to explore our own needs with these nutrients.
What comes first? The body's need for Vitamin D to absorb everything (malabsorption affects all three ingredients (?), supplements (no... wrong word), nutrients (that's a better word!).
Vitamin D is crucial in the absorption of calcium in the body.
Vitamin D is now believed to aid in the prevention and treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, glucose intolerance and multiple sclerosis. It's likely that Vitamin D has a hand in hypothyroidism, definitely in hypoparathyroidism, causes joint and muscle pain (fibromyalgia?!), and can cause extreme fatigue (chronic fatigue disorders?!).Some of these are auto-immune disorders (perhaps all are rooted in auto-immune disorders!) and can be devastating. If there turns out to be a cheap and easy way to prevent them, I'm all for learning more how!
Research is showing that Vitamin D supplementation works better than lightboxes for Seasonal Affective Disorder - SAD. Who knew?!
Because of my own serious Vitamin D deficiency, I began learning more about the proloferation of the deficiency in our country (not to mention many other countries as well).
Several factors inhibit the absorption of Vitamin D: aging, intestinal problems, (my) gastric bypass, sunscreen, worries about skin cancer, obsesity and darker skin.
I watched a morning show a couple of weeks ago where the doctor spoke about Vitamin D deficiency and breastfeeding infants. They were one of the largest groups with the lowest levels of the vitamin. Alarmed, I talked to my apprentice Donna and told her we needed to research this more, to see if we might need to recommend Vitamin D supplements to our clients.
Now, after years and years explaining that breastfed babies have lower iron levels when tested at a year and that many doctors believed this is a natural dip for breastfed babies... and that the iron in breastmilk is more easily absorbed, the same can be wondered about Vitamin D.
However, one can't argue that the main group with rickets is exclusively breastfed babies!
"But every ethnic group was breast-feeding more, while rickets was primarily affecting just one group. "The bulk of them were African American," Bhatia notes, "about 75 percent, 80 percent African American children." Kids with darkly pigmented skin produce only about 5 percent of the vitamin D of children with lighter skin. The result, if they're breast-fed with no vitamin D supplements? Rickets."
The above article, quoted even in a Lactivist's blog, definitely speaks more about darker skinned babies, but is relevant to all of us who are nursing without Vitamin D supplementation.
"Although Nora was exclusively breastfed for 6 months and drank breastmilk until she was about 13 months, we never supplemented with Vitamin D drops. When I spoke with my pediatrician, he said that as long as she had about 10-30 minutes of exposure to sunlight each day, she'd get all the Vitamin D she needed.
It makes me wonder if part of the issue here is not so much the lack of vitamins, but a city verses a country thing. Not sure how much time babies and children in cities like Boston and NYC, but out here in the midwest, there doesn't seem to be much trouble getting plenty of sun exposure for our kids."
This Mothering article counters the need for Vitamin D supplementation in infants and smartly suggests that mothers increase their intake not only for their benefit, but that of their babies.
Note, also, that this article is from 2003 and says babies need 30 minutes a week of sun; most information now says babies need 10-30 minutes a day of sunlight.
(We have to be very careful with our newborns in the sun! They burn fast and easily.)
Does My Baby Need Vitamin D Supplements speaks about supplements for breastfed babies with disdain and uses (very) outdated clips from studies and sites to defend her position.
Moving backwards, we read Vitamin D Deficiency Widespread During Pregnancy and I can't help but wonder if this might be where the low Vitamin D in breastmilk begins. The article says:
"In our study, more than 80 percent of African-American women and nearly half of white women tested at delivery had levels of vitamin D that were too low, even though more than 90 percent of them used prenatal vitamins during pregnancy.
The numbers also were striking for their newborns -- 92.4 percent of African-American babies and 66.1 percent of white infants were found to have insufficient vitamin D at birth." (emphasis mine)
This article published in the UK talks about a study that was done in Boston between 2005-2007 with babies and toddlers from 8 months to 2 years:
"Forty-four of the children (about 12%) had a vitamin D deficiency and seven (about 2%) had a severe vitamin D deficiency. Overall, 146 children (40%) had below the ideal level of vitamin D.
Children's gender, time spent outside, skin colour and sun sensitivity and sunscreen use did not affect their risk of vitamin D deficiency, nor did the season in which the measurement was taken.
Infants whose mothers breastfed them but who did not take any vitamin D supplements, were more likely to have vitamin D deficiency compared with those who were bottle fed. There was no difference between infants of breastfeeding mothers who took vitamin D supplements and those who exclusively bottle fed."
An expected question would wonder if the appropriate levels in humans have changed and perhaps we are experiencing the normal rates, reading the levels through old guidelines. From what I have found, the rates the human body needs haven't changed, but our lives and lifestyles have.
It seems our lack of sun (and sunscreen) as well as the changes in our diets away from fish have combined to put far too many of us at risk.
Vitamin D: Vital Role in Your Health speaks of the importance of supplementing even when you try to get your D from food and if you are unable to religiously get 20-30 minutes a day in the mid-day, summer sun (naked arms, hands, backs and faces are the most researched areas). I'd read that egg yolks have Vitamin D and got all excited! I love eggs! And then I read one yolk has a mere 25 IUs!! I'd have to eat 8 yolks to make the measly "adequate intake" our government has outlined. No one in my life could handle my eating 8 eggs a day. Even if it were just the yolks.
So the government doesn't have a "Recommended Daily Allowance" for Vitamin D. Instead it has an Adequate Intake and the AIs are as follows:
Birth to 13 years - 200 IU
14-18 years - 200 IU (including pregnant women)
19-50 - 200 IU (including pregnant women)
But, even the government's own sites say the AI might be incredibly low. The American Academy of Pediatrics says breastfed infants should be supplemented with 400 IUs a day!
Government Daily Vitamin D Recommendations May Be Inadequate says:
"An article by Dr. Michel Holick in the New England Journal of Medicine claims that current government recommendations for daily intake of vitamin D are far too low. Dr. Holick charges that the RDA of 200 IU per day is inadequate to prevent vitamin D deficiency in many people. He would raise the recommendation to 800-1000 IU per day."
In Current Vitamin D Recommendations Fraction of Safe, Perhaps Essential Levels for Children, Science Daily, on May 28, 2008, says:
"The current recommended daily allowance (RDA) of vitamin D for children is 200 International Units (IUs), but new research reveals that children may need and can safely take ten-times that amount. According to new research this order-of-magnitude increase could improve the bone health of children worldwide and may have other long-term health benefits."
The above article is one of the most important I quote in this post. Please read it!
So, with all the confusion about how much Vitamin D a person needs, how do we figure out what we need? It's unsafe to super-dose on Vitamin D because it is a fat soluble vitamin and has (eventually) toxic doses. Finding those toxic doses can be extremely difficult, especially without regular blood tests. (I will share what toxic symptoms are below.)
The Mayo Clinic's information sheet on Vitamin D speaks about using massive amounts of D for treatment purposes. They say when treating hypoparathyroidism, patients are taking 8,000 to 200,000 IUs a day depending on the type of D given.
Rickets is treated extremely aggressively, giving 5,000 - 10,000 IUs daily for 2-3 months. For resistant rickets, the dosage jumps to 12,000 - 500,000 IUs a day.
Doses for infants (under a year) shouldn't, according to this piece, exceed 1000 IUs a day. For children older than a year, their dosage shouldn't exceed 2000 IUs a day.
NOTE! This does NOT include the 10,000 IUs that come naturally from 10-30 minutes a day in the mid-day sun or the IUs that come from foods. These dosages are for supplements only.
"The single most important fact anyone needs to know about vitamin D is how much nature supplies if we behave naturally, e.g., go into the sun. Humans make at least 10,000 units of vitamin D within 30 minutes of full body exposure to the sun (minimal erythemal dose). Vitamin D production in the skin occurs within minutes and is already maximized before your skin turns pink."
It is impossible to store up Vitamin D for the winter. Most research explains that Vitamin D, in its adequate levels, is only available in the body for about 3 weeks. And, important to note, it is the UV/B rays that manufacture Vitamin D in the body and accessing the UV/B rays occurs during the mid-day hours (oft quoted, between 10am-2pm).
"The good news is that you can't overdose on the vitamin D manufactured by your skin."
Looking at the maze of requirements regarding Vitamin D acquisition and absorption, it is easy to understand the necessity, in our culture, for supplementation.
But, can there be too much of a good thing?
"...newer clinical trials conducted in healthy adults found no evidence of vitamin D toxicity at doses ≥10,000 IU/day. Although vitamin D supplements above recommended levels given in clinical trials have not shown harm, most trials were not adequately designed to assess harm. Evidence is not sufficient to determine the potential risks of excess vitamin D in infants, children, and women of reproductive age."
(Note the caveat in italics above.)
"Because synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D (the most active metabolite of vitamin D) is tightly regulated, vitamin D toxicity usually occurs only if excessive doses (prescription or megavitamin) are taken. Vitamin D 1000 μg (40,000 IU)/day produces toxicity within 1 to 4 mo in infants. In adults, taking 1250 μg (50,000 IU)/day for several months can produce toxicity.
How is Vitamin D measured in the body?
The 25-hydroxy vitamin D test is the most accurate measure of the amount of vitamin D in the body.
The normal range is 16.0 to 74.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Some providers include the parathyroid test in addition to the 25 OH.
It's important to fast for at least 4 hours before any Vitamin or Mineral blood test.
What do signs of toxicity look like?
The main symptoms come from hypercalcemia (too much calcium in the blood). Anorexia (inability to eat), nausea, vomiting, polyuria (peeing a lot), polydipsia (excessive thirst), weakness, nervousness, pruritus (itching) and eventually renal failure are the danger signs. Earlier, more benign symptoms, include the nausea and vomiting, appetite loss, constipation and weight loss. When the calcium levels are elevated, extreme fatigue and muscle weakness as well as heart palpatations occur.
So, now we all have an idea of how much we can take and understand the signs of toxicity, but what does all of this have to do with pregnancy, labor and postpartum?
One of the best articles I've seen is this American Journal of Nutrition article entitled Assessment of Dietary Vitamin D Requirements During Pregnancy and Lactation. The piece gathers together a multitude of studies and looks at the United States' touted recommendations for Vitamin D supplementation not only during pregnancy, but includes observations of the needs of newborns, infants, children, pregnant and lactating women.
I love that the authors speak about the arbitrary-ness of how the recommendations came about - by guessing!
They also say,
"The question that has intrigued our group for years is the following: How is it possible that the DRI for vitamin D is the same for a 1-kg premature human infant, a 3.5-kg term infant, and a 90-kg adult? The recommendation for all of three of these groups is 400 IU/d (10 µg/d)!"
Some of the notations that seemed most relevant to me:
- what was described in a retrospective study was a dramatic decrease in type 1 diabetes later in life in infants who received high-dose (4000-5000 IUs) daily vitamin D supplementation
- In other words, mothers who were vitamin D deficient at the beginning of their pregnancy were still deficient at the end of their pregnancy after being supplemented with 800–1600 IU vitamin D/d throughout their pregnancy. This result is precisely what the regression analysis from Heaney et al predicted would happen at this vitamin D intake, and this is a problem. The results of this study again point out that the DRI for vitamin D during pregnancy is grossly inadequate, especially in ethnic minorities
- ...the nutritional vitamin D status of the human fetus and neonate is totally dependent on the vitamin D stores of the mother; thus, if the mother has hypovitaminosis D (low Vitamin D levels), her fetus will experience depleted vitamin D exposure throughout the developmental period
- ...let us discuss a scenario that occurs thousands of times daily in the United States. A pregnant woman visits her obstetrician, who prescribes prenatal vitamins containing 400 IU (10 µg) vitamin D. The patient and physician both assume that this supplement will fulfill all the nutritional requirements for the duration of the pregnancy. However, in the case of vitamin D, it will not even come close unless the pregnant woman has adequate sun exposure. The woman, especially if African American, and her developing fetus are at high risk of remaining vitamin D deficient during the entire pregnancy. Even if the physician were to prescribe a vitamin D supplement of 1000 IU/d (25 µg/d), the mother would likely remain vitamin D deficient. As scientists and health care providers, we simply cannot accept this any longer. The true requirement for vitamin D during pregnancy must be determined scientifically.
- ...investigators did not know that the source of vitamin D in the mother's milk was the mother's exposure to the sun, which cutaneously generated large amounts of vitamin D. Ultimately, this solar-derived vitamin D ended up in the mother's milk for the infant....
- circulating 25(OH)D concentrations in breastfed infants are directly related to the vitamin D content of the mothers' milk. Available evidence indicates that if the vitamin D status of the lactating mother is adequate, her breastfeeding infant will maintain a "minimally normal" nutritional vitamin D status.
...investigators found that white infants who were exclusively breastfed during the winter in a northern climate maintained a "minimally normal" vitamin D status for 6 mo. Note, however, that the circulating 25(OH)D concentrations in the breastfeeding infants from this study actually decreased as the study progressed. This decrease occurred despite a maternal vitamin D intake of 700 IU/d (17.5 µg/d).
In contrast, a Finnish study showed that maternal supplementation with 1000 IU (25 µg) vitamin D/d resulted in a minimal increase in circulating 25(OH)D concentrations in breastfeeding infants. These same investigators repeated a similar study with 2000 IU (50 µg) vitamin D/d and found that the vitamin D status of the breastfeeding infants improved significantly.
Our group recently performed similar studies, supplementing lactating women with 2000 or 4000 IU vitamin D/d for 3 mo. We found that high-dose maternal vitamin D supplementation not only improves the nutritional vitamin D status of breastfeeding infants but also elevates the maternal concentrations into the mid-normal range. Thus, a dual benefit is achieved from high-dose maternal supplementation."
The paper ends by saying long-term use of such doses are unknown and research continues. Dose with informed consent by asking your care provider what dose might be best for you.
An article on Vitamin D and pre-eclampsia, Maternal Vitamin D Deficiency May Increase Risk for Preeclampsia, says,
"Vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women at less than 22 weeks' gestation is an independent risk factor for preeclampsia...."
Pre-Eclampia Linked with Low Vitamin D During Pregnancy continues, saying,
"'Our results showed that maternal vitamin D deficiency early in pregnancy is a strong, independent risk factor for preeclampsia,' said Lisa M. Bodnar, Ph.D., M.P.H., R.D., assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health (GSPH) and lead author of the study. 'Women who developed preeclampsia had vitamin D concentrations that were significantly lower early in pregnancy compared to women whose pregnancies were normal. And even though vitamin D deficiency was common in both groups, the deficiency was more prevalent among those who went on to develop preeclampsia.'"
While calcium absorption in pregnancy increases, so does the need for extra calcium. Numerous studies talk about the enormous increase in calcium absorption in pregnant teens and this would make sense because not only are they still growing, but they are also growing the skeleton of another human being. It is well-known that Vitamin D is required for calcium absorption, so for the body to take in as much calcium as possible from foods and supplements, Vitamin D must also be included in the mix. If there isn't enough Vitamin D, there won't be enough calcium.
This post is already long, long, long enough, but I have barely begun scratching the surface when we're talking about Vitamin D, and now calcium. To knock the first domino into all the rest, we need to be taking adequate Omega 3's because their presence in our bodies aids all that Vitamin D and calcium absorption!
Of course, there are questions that aren't answered by what I have written. Instead, I hope I prod you all on to find answers to questions I don't have the knowledge or skill to write about.
- If we know so little about Vitamin D, calcium and Omega-3 supplements and they are incredibly crucial to our health and safety, what else is there in that chemical soup we don't know about?
- How do we ensure compliance and success without requiring blood tests every 6 months? Can someone make some home tests, please?
- Should UV-B ray meters be available by prescription and paid for by insurance the way glucometers are for diabetics?
- If we're going to supplement our foods with these nutrients, who gets to vote for what foods they go into? Who picks what form they take?
- Not that many of us reading this needs the government to take up the nutrition cause on our behalf, but when is the government going to get it together and upgrade/update the amount of Vitamin D we should all be taking in each day?
- Why doesn't the American Academy of Pediatrics speak about supplementing moms who breastfeed with Vitamin D instead of the blanket statement regarding supplementing all breastfed babies with the vitamin?
How has this information changed my life? I am now meticulous in taking my 10,000 IUs a day of Vitamin D, spend at least 10 minutes every mid-day in the sun while being as naked as I can be, take my 2000 mg. calcium (citrate since I don't have gastric juices, which is required for calcium carbonate) every day, varying the dose and timing throughout the day (since the body can only absorb 500 mg at a time), always on an empty stomach (carbonate needs to be taken WITH meals, however). I am also taking 2400 mg of fish oil (still unsure how much of that I should be taking in).
I've never been more compliant with supplements! I hope this post nudges you on towards increased health, too. I know I'm looking forward to feeling better and better every sunny day.

SpriteHype necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 62 diseños de 18 diseñadores freelance.
SpriteHype is a company that was formed as a game development company, though I'll probably end up doing a little of the "standard" application development, too. Our games will be created for multiple devices, form factors and machines, so I'm not tied to any particular brand or platform. To reiterate, I'm mainly focused on games. :-)
The name SpriteHype was chosen as a bit of an homage/throwback to retro gaming (NES/Genesis/Super Nintendo/Early PC Gaming era). As I was deciding on a name, I wanted something that sounded fun, felt energizing, and had a bit of a tech feel that showed it's "old school" roots in gaming.
I choose "Sprite" because, even though it's a technical term, it's something that has entered most people's vernacular... even those not associated as much with technology. As stated above invokes thoughts about 2D games and an era of gaming in particular.
The "Hype" portion of the name is used to evoke the energy and fun of it all!
Even though I talk a lot about "retro gaming." I don't really plan on doing retro titles per se. It's more about the games that influenced us and the gaming age I grew up in.
I'm sure this is important with all companies, but the logo of a game company is usually the first thing the player sees when running a game created by that company. It immediately conveys a feeling and sets up what the company has produced.
The main customers looking at the logo are gamers, but may be end application users. The logo may also be embedded in software, so if the logo is overly game specific then it may be lost on the broader audience that I am hoping to attract. This also applies to gamers who may not necessarily identify themselves with in the gaming world.
I don't have a whole lot of requirements per se but wanted to pass along some items that I think will be helpful and that I would like to make sure are thought of when putting together the logo. This ended up being longer than I thought, so I've hosted my full Design Brief here http://bit.ly/18TBgS I hope you can take the time to give it a look as it contains the delivery format, etc.
Logo "Feel"/Design - Let your imagination go wild! I've hopefully outlined some of the things I used when coming up with the name, and I would love to see a logo that translates those same things (retro/gaming, fun, energy, etc.). There is a fine line that I am worried about hitting with the logo where I would like something that looks really nice and colorful but can still maybe evoke a bit of "retro". I really don't want to do something that's just like the Video Games Live logo as the retro throwback: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Games_Live
THANK YOU! Thanks for taking the time to read this and the full design brief at http://bit.ly/18TBgS and investing the time to try your hand at designing a logo for SpriteHype. My commitment in turn is to provide timely, valuable and constructive feedback to give you all the information you need to help your design get picked!

The Archdiocese of Baltimore added a new religious order of nuns Tuesday, its first in decades and one that began as an Anglican community.
The All Saints' Sisters of the Poor left the Episcopal Church for the Roman Catholic Church two years ago. By a decree from the Vatican, they are now an official diocesan priory, or order, the same designation carried by the School Sisters of Notre Dame or the Daughters of Charity.
"We feel we have broken ground," said Mother Christina Christie, leader of the community and a nun since 1966.
Yesterday, All Saints' Day, at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, all 10 members of the Catonsville convent individually professed perpetual vows of poverty, chastity and obedience "for the rest of my life in this world." Then each signed her profession at the altar before nearly two dozen priests and bishops.
Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien chose Nov. 1, the sisters' patronal feast day, to officially receive the community into the archdiocese.
"This is a great day and a great gift to the church in Baltimore," O'Brien said to the congregation. "Few bishops have had such an opportunity."
The sisters and their chaplain, who was ordained a Catholic priest in June, felt they were "drifting farther apart from the more liberal road the Episcopal Church is traveling," Christie said. One of the leading factors in their decision to leave the faith was the decision by Episcopal leaders to sanction the ordination of gay men and women.
Several times during the Mass, O'Brien praised the nuns' "long journey of faith," one that he said, "was not without distress."
Nuns from several different orders in the archdiocese attended the service to support their new sisters.
"We are happy after so many years of knowing them that they are joining us," said Sister Concetta Melton of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, whose convent is practically a neighbor to All Saints'.
For the newest community, it will be business as usual in their lives of prayer and service, said Christie. Now that they are an official religious institute, they can re-open their novitiate and welcome new candidates to their community. Since their change of denomination, there have been several inquiries, she said.
"We are not expecting a mad rush to join us," she said. "But we will take those that God sends us."

Before anything else, the night is respectfully dedicated to Randy Savage, and it seems that the spirit of the Macho Man is emboldening everyone to give a little extra as the WWE delivers an exciting and thoroughly satisfying show. Five championships are on the line, which surpasses Wrestlemania's haul, while Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler appear to come to the decisive and concluding moment in their feud.
John Cena and the Miz close out the night with their "I Quit" match for the WWE Championship. After the bell rings, The Miz grabs the ref's mic and reminds Cena that there are no disqualifications, so there's nothing stopping Alex Riley from making this a handicap match. Cena fights them both gamely, but it only takes a few moments for Cena to fall prey to the double team. Did Booker T just say that Cena has been a champion despite limited skills and ability? Yes, he did. The Miz goes for an early Skull-Crushing Finale, but Cena counters with an AA -- but Riley waylays him with the ever-present steel suitcase. The Miz and Riley proceed with a series of double-team moves: suplex, running Cena into the exposed metal of the outside barrier, then back-and-forth with monitors to the gut and head.
Cena finds a little life with a clothesline on Riley, but The Miz sends him smashing into the steel steps, followed by a DDT on those same steps. Through all this, Cena refuses to quit. Riley then hoists the steps and brings them down on Cena's side. Riley holds the champ with his torso exposed for Miz to strike with a kendo stick, but Cena still doesn't give up -- even telling his challenger that he hits like a girl. The Miz and Riley drag Cena up the ramp, where The Miz knocks him off the platform with a kick to the face before Riley drapes Cena over the camera crane. The Miz offers Cena another chance to quit, but again Cena insults him and suffers a leather-belt whipping.
Where do you go from there? The Miz tries a Skull-Crushing Finale against a chair wedged into the ropes. When that doesn't work, the WWE goes green by recycling a previously used idea: The Miz uses a soundbite of Cena saying "I Quit" to make a fake announcement, just as The Rock beat Mankind many years ago. This time, though, the ref sees through the plot and re-starts the match. Cena takes out Riley with an AA onto the announcer's table and then, showing absolutely no ill-effects from his legendary beating, whips The Miz with a leather belt and gets him to quit in the STF in mere seconds to retain the WWE Championship.
The next WWE pay-per-view is Capitol Punishment on June 19th.
Seattle, WA, host of Wrestlemania 19, serves as the home for tonight's event, with commentary by the trio of Josh Matthews, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, and Booker T.
R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio
R-Truth's entrance has become something excellent -- no music as Truth walks to the ring muttering to himself before delivering a half-comprehensible sermon about the conspiracy against him. Truth is anxious to get going, attacking Mysterio eagerly and setting the tone by driving him across the apron and hard into the corner post. Mysterio avoids and counters just enough moves to stay alive, and even comes within a few steps of landing the 619. Truth takes firm control, though, by pulling Mysterio off of the apron and squaring him on the apron dressing. He drags Mysterio back into the ring and plants him with a reverse STO, obtaining a clean and very important win.
Winner via pinfall: R-Truth
Rating: 7/10
Todd Grisham is behind the scenes with The Miz, who promises that his wits will lead him to victory tonight where John Cena's previous "I Quit" match opponents have failed. After that, Michael Cole shares his secrets to having a ripe, disgusting foot. It's like a little mini-lesson in how not to be dashing.
Barrett is surprisingly unaccompanied, and might be regretting it early on as he is handily tossed about by his former stablemate. He survives an onslaught of punches and clotheslines, then takes advantage of a small opening to twice run Jackson shoulder-first into the ringpost. The champ hoists Jackson up for Wasteland, but the challenger powers out and proceeds to pummel Barrett with five consecutive bodyslams -- which the crowd really enjoys. Jackson then gets the Torture Rack applied, but Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater run in to make the save, forcing the ref to call for the bell.
Winner via disqualification: Ezekial Jackson (Intercontinental Championship does not change hands)
Rating: 7/10
CM Punk is walking backstage giving excellent strategic advice to Mason Ryan (namely, avoid the Knock-Out Punch and Chokeslam), when they discover Michael McGilicutty and David Otunga splayed out on the dressing room floor, blaming Big Show and Kane for the attack. Punk tells Ryan this is a good thing, seeing that they've got under the skin of the tag champs -- and he urges McGillicutty and Otunga to "walk it off".
Sin Cara vs. Chavo Guerrero
Cara's mood lighting is a yellow hue tonight. The two trade arm-bars before Cara starts running wild, sending Guerrero out of the ring with a head-scissors and then diving over the top rope to the floor, knocking Guerrero down but remaining on his own feet. Back in the ring, Guerrero employs some stiff kicks to stop a charging Cara on a couple of occasions, but Guerrero ends up a sitting duck on the outside floor again as Cara launches into a cross body. Dragged back into the ring once more, Guerrero gets caught in Cara's "La Mistica", though the announce team doesn't have a name for it yet.
Winner via pinfall: Sin Cara
Backstage once again, Todd Grisham stands between Randy Orton and Christian. Captain Charisma is still preaching harmony and understanding between himself and Orton. The champ, for his part, also respects his opponent but is no less certain of his own victory.
The Nexus - Mason Ryan & CM Punk (challengers)vs. Kane & Big Show (champions) -- for the WWE Tag Team Championship
Winners via pinfall and STILL WWE Tag Team Champions: Kane & Big Show
Rating: 6/10
The promo for Capitol Punishment features a fake press conference with clips of President Obama inserted to answer questions about the upcoming PPV. It's pretty funny, but not nearly on the level of Weird Al Yankovic's doctored interview with Ozzy Osbourne.
Kelly Kelly (challenger) vs. Brie Bella (champion) (w/ Nikki Bella) -- for the Divas Championship
Kelly starts off fast with a cross-body off the top rope, but is soon afterwards sent to the floor, laying prone for a charging Nikki to deliver a kick to the challenger's stomach. Brie keeps Kelly down on her front for an extended arm bar. Kelly fights out and loses her temper, to the point that the referee pulls her back to give Brie some room. That gives the Bella Twins a chance to make a switch, and Nikki enters the ring to finish Kelly off with the Bella Buster.
Winner via pinfall and STILL Divas Champion: Brie Bella
Rating: 4/10
Christian (challenger) vs. Randy Orton (champion) -- For the World Heavyweight Championship
Christian shows his 100% status early, catching Orton with dropkicks both off the ropes, and then through them with Orton on the outside. Orton catches Christian trying a top-rope attack again, and flies back into a beautiful superplex, but Christian comes right back with a spinebuster as the match is turning into a battle of reversals. Christian goes for the top rope again, and this time is successful with a flying headbutt, but once again Orton reverses the momentum with a backbreaker followed by his version of The Garvin Stomp. Christian is twisted up in an inverted Boston Crab for a painful minute before reaching the ropes, then suffers the leveraged DDT for another in a long line of near falls. He then escapes the RKO and channels Edge as he lines Orton up for a Spear, which Orton reverses into a scoop slam. Christian is down and Orton is thinking punt, but he hesitates for just a moment. He charges again, but Christian hits the Spear for another two count. The challenger tries a Kill Switch instead, but Orton wiggles out for an RKO and a successful title defense.
Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: Randy Orton
Rating: 8/10
Orton helps Christian to his feet, but receives a shove in exchange. Christian exits the ring, but then reconsiders and comes back in for a handshake and hug.
After Lawler enters the ring, Cole limps down the ramp in his business clothes, claiming to be medically prohibited from competing due to his infected athlete's foot. The referee checks the doctor's note, then proceeds to rip it up and call for the bell. There is nothing pretty about the subsequent drubbing given by Lawler to Cole, which includes Cole being driven through, and finally destroying, the previously impenetrable Cole Mine. Lawler land a flying fist off the second rope for the decisive victory.
Winner via pinfall: Jerry Lawler
Lawler starts unzipping his boot, but he has an idea first: he calls down Eve who lands a moonsault on Cole for the verbal abuse she's suffered at his hand. Lawler isn't done yet, as he summons Jim Ross to douse Cole with his barbecue sauce. Cole slinks away from the ring and grabs a mic to say he'll never kiss Lawler's foot. Lawler has one more friend to make sure that it happens, though -- Bret Hart. Cole is tangled up in the Sharpshooter while Lawler shoves his foot in his ace. Ironically, the barbecue sauce in Cole's mouth probably softened the impact. Jim Ross joins Matthews and Booker T for the main event -- and we'll find out tomorrow where Cole goes from this point.
John Cena (challenger) vs. The Miz (champion) -- for the WWE Championship
Winner and STILL WWE Champion: John Cena
Rating: 6/10 for a great story with a bad ending
Event Rating: 8/10
Dave Hillhouse is a screenwriter and teacher, and probably would have given up as quickly as The Miz did, so I'll cut him some slack.

An instructor may have special course-related software needs that are not currently addressed in the computing labs. In this case, an instructor may request special course-related software to be installed. This request must be submitted each year to the instructor's School/College Technology Coordinator. The following information is required to process a special course-related software request:
- Title of the software
- The labs to which you would like the software installed
- Original media (CD, floppy)
- How many licenses are held for the software
- What type of licenses are held for the software
- All current license documentation
- A copy of all installation documentation and/or manuals
- The Technology Coordinator must submit a special course-related software request to the Office of Information Technology (OIT) via ServiceNow ticket prior to the deadline date for the Fall and Spring Semesters. If the OIT does not own the software, the instructor/department must acquire the software.
Note: Deadline to request software for the Fall Semester is June 15th and for the Spring Semester is October 15th.
Special Course-Related Software:
When a special course-related software request is submitted to the OIT by the Technology Coordinator, it must include the original software media, documentation and the Software License. These items must be given to the Computing Labs Administrator in the Technology Solutions Center (TSC), University Hall room 5100. For any questions concerning this matter, please call 973-655-7322.
Software purchased either by an instructor, a department, or the OIT must be legally licensed. The software license must cover the intended maximum number of simultaneous users. Installation and use of the product must abide by the publisher's software license. The software cannot interfere with or degrade the operation of the existing computing environment in any way. The OIT reserves the right to remove any software that creates an unstable environment for the operating system. Alpha/beta releases of software are strongly discouraged. Software must not exceed the University's current hardware requirements. Software will be Virus scanned before and after installation.
Note: Legacy DOS software and Mac 68K software is not supported by the Office of Information Technology (OIT).
Currently, public and teaching laboratories support Windows 10 Education Operating System.
Note: It is highly recommended that requests be submitted well in advance of the deadlines to allow for proper testing and configuration. Late requests are strongly discouraged and may result in either incomplete distribution of the software to desired locations indicated by the instructor, or a decrease in the level of the software's functionality, due to a lack of testing time. The OIT is unable to guarantee a complete and satisfactory installation for requests submitted after the deadline.
Course-Related Software Testing:
Once the software application is installed and appropriately tested by the OIT it will be the Technology Coordinator and instructor's responsibility to thoroughly test the software and make sure it functions as intended. The Office of Information Technology strongly recommends that instructors never attempt to conduct a session in front of a class without first conducting a dry run of the lesson within the actual lab environment. The OIT reserves the right to reject any and all software applications that do not meet University standards or requires an excessive amount of ongoing maintenance that the instructor cannot provide.
Support of Course-Related Software in Public Labs:
After special software is installed, the OIT will attempt to ensure the software continues to function adequately in the labs. The Office of Information Technology is unable to provide user support, as the Lab Assistants are fully trained and knowledgeable in the applications that comprise the Standard Software build for the computing laboratories. They are not expected to know how to work through these applications.
It is not unusual for software to become obsolete quickly. As the environment in the labs is constantly updated in an attempt to keep the lab software current, older software may no longer function correctly. It may be the case that the OIT will be unable to maintain certain antiquated software that has been purchased by individual departments. Our mission is to maintain our standard software set and the required course-related software on a per semester basis. Therefore, it may be necessary for departments to purchase new versions of software from time to time. The OIT will remove old software from our systems when it no longer functions correctly or is outdated. This includes software that has already been updated to a higher revision in the labs. The OIT is unable to maintaining multiple versions of software in the public and teaching computer labs.
It is up to the instructor/department to ensure that the users of the software are adequately trained in its use and the proper documentation and manuals are made available to its users. The OIT requires that manuals are purchased and any special documentation and manuals are made available for each of the sites where the software is installed. Another set of manuals for the OIT technical staff is also highly recommended.
