The Week 3 Challenge details are live! Week 3 officially starts on Monday, January 26th.
Don't forget to wrap up your Week 2 before tackling Week 3.
The third week of anything is the toughest, so hang in there!
I've seen that a few people are feeling a bit overwhelmed. I am repeating myself but please, remember that this is for you, it's not a competition against other people. We are here to support each other and share our experiences. Just do as much as you feel you have the time and energy for, and don't stress over it! Also remember that most things are much harder when you are just starting out. The more you do it, the easier it gets! When I started making bentos for myself again after a very long blank period about 2 or so years ago, I was taking ages to do anything, and I almost gave up on it. But I kept doing a bento or so a week, then more, and soon I could whip up a simple bento in a jiffy. (And then I got the idea for the Just Bento site, which has Taken Over, but that's another story. ^_^;) You will probably experience something similar…just hang in there!
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
I'm aiming to maintain my 5 for the week and concentrate on calorie counting this one properly. I'm also aiming to get the wii fit time up this week as much as possible.
I'm also aiming this week to get my speed on bento making up. This has as much to do with daughter, who takes ages to make up her mind what she wants in her box! Planning is out, as what she wants at 7pm on one night might not be what she wants at 8am on the way out the door to school!
I've already started out well on this week's challenge - before I even knew what it was too. I made a big batch of baked falafels for the freezer last night, using the well-past-it broad (fava) beans I found still attached to the plants I was pulling up and composting yesterday morning. How frugal is that? And baking the falafels rather than deep frying them makes them a lot less fattening, and much nicer cold too.
On the other hand, I don't often have leftovers from my dinner (except for salads) because I mostly eat portions of things I make in bulk and freeze anyway. But we'll see how I go.
My blog is Food and Shoes
My bentos are all ready very economical, I am extremely thrifty by nature so I will not be concentrating on that portion of the challenge. I was figuring out that it usually cost me less than $1 per lunch [good, cheap produce is available year-round here in California].
I just got some new smaller containers today, because I noticed that I was feeling just a tad too full. So I will try making smaller bentos for next week, which will probably force me to make them more compact and still filling. My calorie count was fine before, so I am not sure if I will be able to fit all the calories in but I will try.
And again I will be packing 7 bentos this week, two for the days I have class. And I will continue walking to public transit 3 days this week and I will try to get the hubs to walk home with me at night to increase my mileage [walking home alone in the dark is probably not the best].
Hmmm... well I dunno about the cutting cost thing.
Before, I used to pay about 4-5bucks for lunch and snacks (bit iffy about the exchange rate). Now most of the stuff I bring is leftovers, and anything else that already was in the pantry/fridge/wtv. So in a sense, I suppose I'm not really spending more money. Well, my mother is the one who does the grocery shopping anyway but I'm not aware of there being more shopping done - my fridge is as stacked as it has always been (we have trouble emptying it!). I think the only thing I bought extra these week were oscypki (Polish goat cheese, yummy). This aspect of bento making will probably affect me more when I'm in college and most probably perpetually broke, much like a good friend of mine, so at the moment I won't be tackling the Going Deeper part of the challenge. Or the Weight Loss for that matter, I'm don't deal too well with vegetarian ;)
For this week:
-Keep up the pace of last week, 4-5 bentos.
-Consistently keep bento preparation time short
-Exercise of course. It's also getting warmer now, so I might get some walking in.
-Use previous week's calorie counts as a sort of guideline to keep bentos under 500cal (Mondays and Wednesday excluded, because I know I need extra food when I stay behind for rehearsals).
-Resist the temptation to snack on toasties! They're not even that good >.<
"A common way to tell if it is well cooked is to throw the sausage onto a hard surface; if it bounces, the sausage is good."
My goals for this week:
- making four bentos
- making them look better
- making more and more interesting veggies
read in more detail:
My goals for this week are:
- A healthy, frugal bento every day.
- Try to use up the vegetables in the fridge before buying any more!
- Stop The Guy from making unauthorised grocery purchases! (he likes shopping for groceries...what do I do with a big bagful of tamarinds?)
- Exercise longer and more frequently!
And not at all connected to the Challenge but:
- Speed up the packing/sorting!
- Try to pull out all my hair.
- Remember to sleep horizontally, vs. crashing in an odd position on the sofa.
This week I intend to pursue these goals:
• Five bentos for the week, plus any impromptu guest bentos
• Eat soup for at least 3 dinners
• Plan & make a vegetarian bento
• Use some back-o-the-pantry items in bento lunches
• Continue to tweak the balance in my bentos: I'd like to include a bit more non-starchy veggies
• Use the LIVESTRONG iTouch app as my food diary, exporting to a spreadsheet program each evening
• Get the rowing machine uncovered. That's it: just uncovered! (eyes self warily)
Thrift is a central fact of my life, and I've come to enjoy the clever bits we all figure out in order to live happy & well. I love finding a good bargain, and I've learned over the years to look before I leap. Sometimes I see something that seems like a fantastic, crazy, too-good-to-be-true deal, and generally it is.. too good to be true :-) I got burned a few times, and now I try to be alert to marketing nonsense.
I'm also an inveterate gleaner, so I know where good apples can be picked (without getting chased), when the fish truck arrives at my local coop, and what time the hoggy restaurant guy arrives at my green-market. This last is super important if I want to get some of that day's delivery. He always buys up all the bokchoy!
Anyhow, I guess I'll approach the thrift part of this week's goal by trying to use more of what I already have :-)
Here are my Week 3 goals:
* sort bento boxes according to volume they can hold
* identify bento boxes that suit caloric intake per meal
* pre-plan the bentos and other meals for 7 days ON PAPER OR AT LEAST ON THE PC
* refine mise en place according to meal plans
* make at least 4 bentos and photograph them
* post here and write a report on my adventures!
~ Begin by knowing you have already arrived ~
my blog - http://honeysheistwisted.blogspot.com/
Well, first would be motivation. I failed so much with this weekly meal planner that this week it's quite empty and I just bought some veggies which were cheap on the market and put a few outlines of meals.
I'll make only two bloggable bentos. I forgot to take today's bento in photo but it's only sandwiches and some salads, beetroot cupcake and lentils and nut cupcake. Quite similar to those I had lately.
I have another problem: as I can't blog as fast as I do my bentos, I don't really like to put them in advance on the net, as then, who would want to have a look at my blog when at last this bento comes up...Cannot figure out how to do that.
Is there a way that let's say only just bento sees my photos? Or that they can only be visible here?
Think I didn't get that this challenge was just to continue as I did before with one or two pretty bentos and ordinary ones the rest of the time. I asked myself too much the two first week.
Well, well, go for basic challenge and a bit more sports. For money saving, this is true, but I think this task is one of the reason why I'm bentoing.
The healthy part is also what I try to do usually (first main reason). For the vegetarian part, well, I'm happy that Maki is advertising this way of eating. Advantages: health, money saving, and maybe...ethical reason too for some of us...
Thanks for having put slightly easier tasks this week!
Well, this week we have an office lunch (happens frequently, 2 times a month or more) and this weekend I was bad and didn't do my plan in advance. I am not going to be sporting a bento today, sadly, just restaurant leftovers... So, my goal is to make 4 bento (at which I will fail, I'm ok with that), increase my bento stash (gyoza!), make my meal plan *tonight* and wash/use a new bento box I just got.
On the other hand, I already do most of the "living on the cheap" things that I can. Living in MN, fresh fruits and veg are hard to get at a great price and often seem to go bad too quickly. So I buy frozen! I also make my own "frozen meals" that I can pull out in a pinch--I currently have three bento (fully packed and ready to go) in freezer safe "bento" boxes, for weeks when I know I'll be pressed for time. When I can get fruit/veg for free, I do--5 gallons of crabapples this summer became crabapple jam and butter, after a long day's canning. I make my own higher quality curry powder from bulk spices I grind myself and whenever we have an extra anything, it goes in the freezer--or, this week, the garage, as it's negative holy heck out. I make use of my (cheap!) crock pots at least once a week and even though we are a two person household, often make enough for lunches to be made out of leftovers from dinner, avoiding getting sick of the leftovers by putting them in the freezer for next week. Sometimes this means I'm doing more work to save money at the outset, but I find I often save time, too, later on. Having become a near-vegan this year, I've reduced many of my grocery bills, and I've always been good at finding food sharing programs and stretching the very last little bit of things to go further. Heck, I'm even ready to stop buying store bread. Heck, knowing all this even helps with emergency preparedness, as my partner points out.
Wow, that was long... Sorry!
My bento blog: http://basil80bento.livejournal.com/
Hey Basil! I like hearing how other people manifest their thriftiness --it's where I get new ideas, so thanks. Also, I want to chime in and support the idea of frozen food. We both live in places where fresh veggies aren't locally available for much of the year. I happen to have a fair amount of time on my hands (no kids or partner, working (for some value of `work') at home, so I do lots of my food gathering in late summer and fall: freezing, pickling, and preserving. I generally have a good winter's worth of various fruits and veggies, plus enough to give away as presents to friends & family. I don't have my own chest freezer, but I have a shared one in a garage up at my mom's place --big help! I also do a lot of lacto-fermentation, basically low salt brine pickling --the method used for sauerkraut & old-fashioned dill pickles. I really like this method as it keeps the food live, or probiotic, so that I keep a good, healthy, active gut-flora garden. That sounds a bit odd, but it's the principal behind the idea that yogurt with live cultures are good for you. Same thing! This year's big fermentation experiment used whole green tomatoes --it's been a great success; those tomatoes taste so bright and fresh, either as a pickled side dish or chopped up into soups, stir-fries, etc.
Still, I do want veggies in the winter that I haven't grown/gathered, and with some exceptions I find frozen food to be a good choice. I look for sales on organic frozen veggies & fruits, and here is what I consider to be the main advantage: well manufactured frozen food is harvested at the peak of it's goodness and processed quickly, preserving much of the nutritional value & flavor. The vegetables in bins at my local markets, on the other hand, are too often picked early so they'll transport well, before they are at their peak nutritionally & taste-wise, and then they're shipped on trucks, boats, and airplanes from far away, often in strange gasses to get them to ripen artificially.. so, they often taste blah, and I'm not happy with the carbon footprint of lots of these veggies either.
I'm a big fan of frozen veggies & fruit!
Week 3 Goals:
* 4 bento
* weekly plan
* refine calorie count
* exercise 3-4x
* make use of at least one grain from the pantry that isn't brown rice or quinoa
* use up that kohlrabi and those radishes
* oh yeah, and stop eating everything in sight before and after my bento lunch!
My bentos are usually leftover-heavy and I'm already a full-time vegetarian, so I don't need to put too much effort in that direction. However, the exercise and using up some things that get pushed into the back of the pantry/frige will require some effort and planning.
This week my main goal is to not go grocery shopping at all (except for milk). I bought a tonne of food to make sure I ate over the busy weekend (which didn't work so well) so there is no _need_ to buy anything else. I love grocery shopping like Maki's husband does but this week I'm being stern with myself.
So that frugality is definitely going to go ahead. Plus, I was given 2 dozen eggs by the butcher on the weekend because we'd bought soooo much stuff from him. This is seriously going to help with the vegetarian bento concept! AND I got a free pineapple from a radio station giveaway van last week.
My biggest goal this week I think is to try and put some pretty into my bento. Since my box has fixed dividers in one half, I don't need to have edible barriers to stop foods from mixing, which seems to be the primary method of adding decoration to bento. This week I shall attempt at least one "pretty" bento.
This week I'll:
1. Make three bentos.
2. Try to use as many leftovers as possible.
3. Try to use up food I already have instead of buying new ingredients.
4. Work on presentation skills.
I think that this is the week that I just *maintain.*
I do have a nutrition goal, I'm trying to get more protein into my mornings.
Hope you sleep well Maki - the work you've put into this Challenge is amazing!
My goals for this week are:
-Make the same amount of bento, with one vegetarian
-Use up as many leftovers as possible (so many leftovers @_@)
-Eat more fruit
-Eat enough protein so I can sprout some muscles
-Exercise enough so I can grow some muscles
-Keep on working on cutting out sugary carbs from my diet - maybe replace sugary carbs with...protein-packed carbs?
On that note, I've done six flights of stairs (20 stairs each flight) and ~30 minutes of strength training today. I've also had one small cookie, a few nibbles of a chocolate blueberry bar and a few nibbles of a slice of ponderosa cake. I'm sure I've also had a bit of candy - it's quite bad, but I still have regular sugar cravings. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for September to a team of arborists from the Forestry section of the Parks and Recreation Department - Dennis Gartner, Jeffrey Gruber, Allen Keen, Joseph Pett and Andrew Walker. The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at today's City Council meeting.
The team members have worked for the City for an average of about 20 years. Forestry
Operations Supervisor Bob Weyhrich nominated them in the categories of productivity, customer relations, loss prevention and safety after receiving a letter from resident Houghton Furr. Furr called Forestry after a storm left a large branch from a City tree hanging over the street.
Weyhrich checked the limb and assigned arborists, who removed the limb the same day. While the arborists were there, Furr also brought to their attention that the remainder of the tree and two others nearby were probably dead and could cause further problems. Weyhrich marked three very large elm trees for removal.
Within two weeks, a full crew arrived and removed the three huge trees in less than five hours. Because he is retired, Furr watched the arborists in action. He said the clean-up was thorough and complete, the crew was friendly and helpful, and the whole job first rate. He wrote the team was "the most professional, knowledgeable and hard-working group I have had the pleasure of observing in recent memory! They are all true professionals and represent not only the Forestry Section but the City of Lincoln in the best light."
Weyhrich said the Forestry section is very team oriented, and the arborists who responded to Furr's call actually came from two separate crews. "Due to their cross-training and ability to perform any forestry related assignment and operate any forestry equipment, these individuals fit into any of the five crews we have."
The other category in which employees can be nominated is valor. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description. All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials.
Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available on the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

A recent heroin bust here in Brunswick County is a perfect example of what is wrong with North Carolina's justice system.
It's not the work investigators did to uncover the drug operation; it's the fact the perpetrator was on the streets to begin with.
Back in 1994 Christopher Mosby was convicted of second-degree murder. He was found guilty for assisting in the murder of Louis Lopez in Winston-Salem on Jan. 21, 1994.

(Child) Teacher*, do you love me?
Teacher*, will you care for me?
Even if I turn away, or disobey, or go astray,
Then will you love me still?
Teacher*, will you teach me?
Teacher*, help me choose the right.
When I do not understand the Lord's command, please take my hand
And lead me safely with his light.
(First time child only.)
I need your love, I need your light
To show me how to be like Jesus.
The Savior's love will light the path
To lead me safely home.
(Teacher) Oh yes, my child, I love you.
My child, I'll always care for you.
And with the Savior as our guide,
I'll share the light I feel inside,
And you will feel his love for you.
Oh, yes, my child, I'll teach you.
My child, I'll help you choose the right.
And when you do not understand
The Lord's command, I'll take your hand,
And he will lead us with his light.
(Second time duet.)
I need your love, I need your light
To show me how to be like Jesus.
The Savior's love will light the path
To lead us safely home.

743: Infrastructures
Title text: The heartfelt tune it plays is CC licensed, and you can get it from my seed on JoinDiaspora.net whenever that project gets going.
Cueball has sent an essay to a friend. While the essay itself was good, his friend was worried because the essay was in the .doc format, the proprietary format that old versions of Microsoft Word used. The friend advises Cueball to use a format based on an open standard, possibly a format like ODF, ODT, ODS, ODP, or OpenOffice XML.
Cueball, who does not appreciate his friend's contradicting him, argues that he is making petty fights about the details of software instead of simply caring that the software works (which is, in essence, a primordial purpose of software). Given that it can be a challenge to move from a familiar proprietary application to an open-source rival which may lack compatibility, features, support and popularity, Cueball has *some* justification for his stance.
The bearded fellow brings up that he is just concerned about the current proprietary software infrastructure that forces users to use software in a specific way, penalizing them for sharing the software or even preventing looking at the source code in order to learn what the program actually does or how it works. Cueball makes a retort that his friend has an arrogance that crowds out his perspective while claiming that he is autistic. However, it is highly unlikely that Cueball truly believes his friend is autistic. Instead, it's much more likely that he's comparing his friend's behavior to that of people with autism(such as his intense fixation on things that seem trivially important to others), similar to the banter used on online forums and imageboards such as 4chan's /g/ board.
Seven years later, Cueball runs to the friend, alarmed about Facebook's heavy policies about its complete control about the information its users submit. Since Facebook is like Microsoft in its lack of transparency about their services and taking away a lot of control from the user, the fellow retorts with playing "the world's tiniest open-source violin." This is dubious since "playing the world's smallest violin" is a sarcastic expression that denotes that the speaker will not give pity to the recipient.
In response to this comic, a 3D model for a tiny violin was released as open source files.
The title text references the following pieces of infrastructure that are compatible with the "free software" ideology:

The fellow's phrase "you can get it" in the title text is ambiguous: is he offering to share the code for the violin, or the tune that the violin plays? But since CC licenses are not used for software, we can assume "it" refers to the tune: either an audio recording of it, or perhaps source material from which to make modified versions.
- joindiaspora.com (formerly joindiaspora.net) is the central host of Diaspora*, an open-source alternative to Facebook which puts the user in control of how their information is used. Of course this sort of use of Diaspora would eliminate Cueball's concern over how Facebook handled his information.
- a Diaspora "seed" is a personal web server that interacts in a Diaspora "pod" of servers. It stores all of your information (such as the tune in this case) and shares it with your friends, in a way that respects your preferences around privacy, etc.
The problem with the lack of open source and Facebook is also the subject of 1390: Research Ethics.

- Cueball: Did you get my essay?

- Cueball: Give it a rest already. Maybe we just want to live our lives and use software that works, not get wrapped up in your stupid nerd turf wars.
- Bearded Fellow: I just want people to care about the infrastructures we're building and who-
- Cueball: No, you just want to feel smugly superior. You have no sense of perspective and are probably autistic.
- 2010:
- Cueball: Oh my God! We handed control of our social world to Facebook and they're DOING EVIL STUFF!
- Bearded Fellow: Do you see this?
- [Inset, the bearded fellow rubs his index and middle fingers against his thumb.]
- Bearded Fellow: It's the world's tiniest open-source violin.

The link inside "arrogance that crowds out perspective" is merely an example of a situation in which someone with the same ideology that Cueball has can declare that proponents of free software have arrogance instead of perspective. Greyson (talk) 14:23, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
How do we know that professor is going to do anything with the document other than read it? I remember electronic submission back in the Word 6 era (and probably earlier) as a direct replacement to handing over pieces of paper. Doesn't affect the joke, but is rather an unsubstantiated and unnecessary part of the explanation. 184.108.40.206 00:02, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
This could use some serious style editing. I have a bad habit of using parentheses, and find that forcing myself not to use them can actually improve my writing (kowabunga! - oh shit). Whoever put in the large parenthetical expressions here may need to learn that as well. Or learn LISP, where they'll realize that parentheses are not always your friends. --Quicksilver (talk) 02:13, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
This seems a bit painted to me, sure its a comic in favor of open source but the explanation doesn't have to sound like it was written by a snob. --Lackadaisical (talk) 23:22, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- Diaspora seed
- a personal web server that stores all of your information and shares it with your friends
"Seed" is not used in the torrent sense (of a running client, seeding a file to other clients), but as a "personal web server that stores all of your information and shares it with your friends" via the http protocol. See [1] and [2]. Here is the text I replaced:
- The "seed" to which the fellow mentioned is a reference to the BitTorrent protocol, an infrastructure that allows users to share files for others to download directly from them (rather than from a server). Essentially, the user packs a description of the files in a torrent file, then "seeds" the torrent file using a program made for torrenting (for example, μTorrent). People who want to download the files would first download the corresponding torrent file, and open it in a torrenting program to "leech" (download) the original files. After the files referred by the torrent file are downloaded, the "leechers" can "seed" them too, so that more people can download the files from them in turn. Since the user is in control of the upload and download, torrenting is an option of choice for those in support of free software.

Since when does most of the open source word processors not save in .DOC as well, just because it is saved in that format does not mean it had to be made with MS Word. Most of the time unless I am sending a .PDF I save a copy of what I am working on in .DOC just to be sure the receiver can open it as most programs can. 188.8.131.52 13:44, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Why is playing "the world's tiniest open-source violin" described as "dubious"? Cueball has, in spite of warnings, engaged in and encouraged the spread of the use of an infrastructure which will have the inevitable effect of handing control of all his data to psychopathic corporations. The Bearded One surely has a right to have no pity, and in effect say "Told you so". 18.104.22.168 09:18, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Iran is a very different nation than Iraq. It would be a total disaster if we invaded them. I wouldn't mind strikes to end their nuclear program, but invading? No way.
Iran is a very different nation than Iraq. It would be a total disaster if we invaded them.
And that's different than Iraq...how?
Iran is a very different nation than Iraq
We have accomplished or are in the process of accomplishing all of our goals in Iraq in the timetable that was laid out in the beginning of the conflict.
Just a thought.
I also disagree with Christian Fundies as well and think they are crack smokers along with any religions fundies.
The American military and Foreign Policiy Machine KNOWS EXACTLY what they are doing. Don't think Iraq is a failure, sure about 1100 American/allied soldiers have lost there lives but from a military point of view the operation is a total success. They achieved there goals of invading and replacing Sadam Huessein with very minimal casualties compared to the numbers that where thrown about during the lead up to the invasion.
1) To send a clear and strong message to the Islamic world......You can knock down two towers crash a plane in a field and into the pentagon. We can and will invade and destroy your Countries in a matter of weeks. We now have two islamic countries under our control through our military might
The Americans are perfectly situated in all parts of the world to confront the Islamic Terrorist where ever he may be....and I think Iraq was just a step in achieving this. I don't care what reason they used to justify the war I just feel the reasons above are the reasons they did it.
When you stop and think about it Muslims are the common Factor in all of these wars.....and when you stop and think about it......the Americans and now the Russians are perfectly situated to confront these new fundamentalist threats.
Remember there are many Christians, too, and they have a hard stand as their faith is being tested daily. Bombs are no solution!
That is true. No reason to invade - just bomb them back to the days of their prophet. That way they can truly experience their faith!

I'm going to look into messing around with your layout for a bit tonight and see if I can rearrange somethings or something
Thanks for taking a crack at this layout thing
I don't know if you've started yet, but if you're interested, the latest zip is here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15771457/ReDesi ... Design.zip (or check the link in my sig)
The biggest change is a navigation menu at the top so you can cycle between all available html's. If you have any questions about changing particular elements, feel free to ask. But by far the easiest to change are the backgrounds for the header, menus, and buttons since they are just .gif files. Simply modify them, then refresh the page. If you want to modify actual site colors, you'll have to open "main.css" and "main_Basic.css" in notepad, then search for the colors you want to change. The main ones being #ff6600 (orange) and #00ccff (blue); ctrl+f and ctrl+h might help. Also, try to use layout 3 (dubbed Big Bento) as your main reference since it contains all features, like an administrative header at the top, statistics in the banner, and the beefiest preview panel. While we might not want to use all these features, it might be nice to know what they would look like if presented differently. Have fun

Calvin Hobbes needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 291 designs submitted by 52 freelance designers.
a marketing company
We are an online marketing company - more specifically a CPA affiliate network.
We have a new logo already that we will be using, which you can download here: http://bit.ly/cHBGtW Feel free to change the colors of the logo to match the rest of your design. (Example http://bit.ly/bSKu87)
Online marketers; website owners; developers of games, applications, etc
The design will be fixed-width, fitting onto screens with a 1024-pixel width. We want to use the bulk of this width as well, and not have the situation that we have with our current design, which is also 1024 but has a usable content area of only 900 pixels. Taking into account scroolbars and some spacing on the sides, the used area should be about 990 pixels.
The page needs the following elements:
logo - at the top of the page
navigation menu, with the following: Home , Publishers & Solutions , Advertisers , Company , Contact Us - top of the page (see note below)
log-in form
sign-up image/link (fairly large)
content, described below - should be mostly above the page fold (the area that will be viewable without scrolling down)
Note about navigation menu: some of these menu items will act as a dropdown menu. So that may need factored into design choices. We may also add an item or two in the future, so there should be room for us to do so.
Content for the site can be found here: http://bit.ly/a2qEsz
We could not fit it within the character limit.
Please do not use fonts in your design that are not common and cannot be used on a live website (unless of course the element in question will be a graphic, and not selectable text).
Homepage, as already described
I'm not listing the actual domain to keep out of google search results ;) But that link will take you there...
There's not a lot that we like about our current design so don't base anything on it.

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
Currently, the most popular alternative site to traditional Golgotha, located in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Jerusalem, is the area of Gordon's Calvary, with the so-called 'Garden Tomb,' but scholarly endorsement of this locality has never been very strong. Generally, the current consensus holds that Golgotha was located in the vicinity of the traditional site, somewhere north of the first wall of Jerusalem at the time of Jesus, and west of the second wall, though specificity is impossible. In this article, I would like to consider how specific we might be about the localizations of Jesus' death and entombment...

Galactagogues are pharmaceutical or herbal medicines that are thought to increase the production of milk.
Here are a few things to keep in mind before trying a galactagogue:
- Frequent and effective breastfeeding or milk expression is the most important factor in increasing milk supply. If the breast isn't drained thoroughly or often enough, a galactagogue won't help.
- Natural is not a synonym for safe. All medicines, including herbal ones, may cause side effects or drug interactions. Please talk to your health care provider before trying any herbal or pharmaceutical treatments.
- There is little research to support the effectiveness of galactagogues. Few quality studies have been done, and the results have been inconclusive. Due to possible side effects and lack of evidence for galactagogues' effectiveness, the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine does not currently recommend any specific galactagogues.

I started working in a Parisian law firm before deciding to turn the page and make a dream come true.
June 2013 - Drapeau Noir was born.
What I had in mind was simple: a timeless wardrobe for men, well-tailored and made in Europe with the finest fabrics. I was looking for more than just style. I wanted to source the best materials and family-run workshops that could guarantee their craftsmanship and work conditions.
Since the very first season, day after day, collection after collection, we have forged strong personal ties with our partners. Be they Japanese, Italian, English, Portuguese, or French, we all share the same, unrelenting desire: to focus our efforts on honing our skills, developing the quality of our products, and maintaining authentic relationships.
The collections are inspired by so many things. France of course, especially Paris where I was born and grew up, the freedom of America's counterculture in the 1970s, and finally, a personal vision of discrete masculine elegance… There is so much more, but the list would be too long.
Beyond influences, the most important thing ultimately is how each of us appropriates our clothes. The idea is not to provide a template or a static image. What makes us different is the diversity of experiences and people we love and our individual capacity to invent our own story.
Your appreciation of our first collection and those that followed proves that there are apparently many of us who appreciate uncomplicated, accessible clothing made sustainably.
After several seasons, thanks to your support, that of our partner boutiques and the press, Drapeau Noir is continuing its journey in France and abroad. I hope you like our work.

Chile and the Pacific World
Edward D. Melillo
Since the early 1800s, Chileans have imagined their nation's history and destiny through an ever-changing array of transoceanic connections with the rest of the planet. At a deeper level, Chile's relationship with the Pacific Ocean is built upon myriad collective memories and aspirational identities. The long arc of Chile's linkages with the Pacific World—or the peoples and ecosystems in and around the Pacific Ocean—has yet to be fully explored by historians. This article fills this lacuna by analyzing five diverse historical episodes that span more than two centuries: first, Valparaíso's growth into a Pacific commercial hub during the early 1800s; second, Chile's role in the Californian and Australian gold rushes of the mid-1800s; third, the Chilean victory in the late-19th-century War of the Pacific; fourth, Chile's burgeoning commercial relationship with China, which began in the years following the Second World War; and, finally, the emergence of a Chilean-Pacific variant of neoliberal ideology in the final decades of the 20th century. These five developments reveal a litany of ambiguities and antagonisms in Chile's complicated, ongoing association with its western ocean.
Labor and the Environment in Latin America
Aviva Chomsky
Latin American labor has a well-established historiography, in dialogue with trends outside of the region. Environmental history is a newer and more exploratory field. In basic terms, environmental history explores the relationships of humans with the natural world, sometimes referred to as "nonhuman nature." This can include how humans have affected the natural world, how the natural world has affected human history, and histories of human ideas and belief systems about nature. Labor and environmental history grows from explorations of the connections between these two spheres. Humans interact with the natural world through their labor and from their class perspective. The natural world shapes the work that people do and the institutions and structures humans create to organize and control labor. Changing labor regimes change the ways that humans interact with, and think about, the natural world. Both labor and environmental histories are in some senses investigations of how humans relate to nature. This essay sets Latin American labor and environmental history in global historical context. After offering a chronological summary, it briefly examines connections between U.S. Latino and Latin American labor and environmental histories, and ends with a discussion of contemporary Latin American critical environmentalisms.
Pulque: A Pre-Columbian Alcoholic Beverage of Mexico
David Yetman
Pulque, the alcoholic beverage of pre-Columbian highland Mesoamerica is the fermented derivative of aguamiel, the juice or sap of the agave known as agave pulquero—principally Agave salmiana. Aguamiel is a sweet, somewhat heavy juice that collects in a scraped out basin in the heart of the agave pulquero and, unless refrigerated, rapidly ferments into the alcoholic pulque. The agents of fermentation are ambient and plant-colonizing bacteria and yeasts. Fresh pulque is a frothy, cloudy brew with a slightly sour taste, usually containing around 2 percent alcohol or somewhat higher, meaning it can be drunk in large quantities without intoxicating the imbiber. Although it is a nutritious drink, consumption was condemned by Spaniards in varying degrees during the Colonial Period. Its popularity in contemporary southern Mexico is increasing after more than a century of persecution and public disparagement. Pulque figures prominently in pre- and post-Columbian Mesoamerican history.
Production of tequila and mezcal is completely different from production of pulque. The former are distilled from the pressed juice (tepache) of macerated and roasted hearts of certain agaves. The juice is fermented in vats for several days, then heated in a still, evaporated, and condensed. Tequila, by law is made from A. tequilana, and mezcal by custom is made primarily from A. angustifolia. Both these distillates contain about 40 percent alcohol. Pulque is a naturally occurring product consumed by native peoples for at least two millennia. Tequila and mezcal are industrial products derived from processes introduced into the Americas by Europeans.

What does it take to make Fast Company magazine's "Most Innovative Companies" list?
Continue Reading Below
"Just being good at what you do, and continuing to grow in revenue doesn't qualify you for a return to the Most Innovative Companies list," says Fast Company senior editor Jason Feifer. "There's a big difference between growth and significant innovation."
Feifer says there's a swim or die mentality in this economy in which many companies try to make changes and innovate. But the companies who end up on top of the list "ask big questions and try to answer them. Then, they're bold enough to act, and smart enough to be right about it.
"We take a look at both innovation and impact," says Feifer. "The company needs to have an ability to think beyond its immediate base, to look how they can grow and continue to challenge their space, in order to expand into something larger."
Nike, Amazon, Square, Splunk and Fab ranked as the top five innovators on Fast Company's 2013 list. FOXBusiness.com asked Feifer what makes a company stand out – and how it can stay on top.
And, contrary to conventional wisdom, Feifer explains why innovation shouldn't always be at the top of the priority list.
1. Nike: Willing to Reinvent Itself
Feifer says Nike impressed because it once again emerged from the cocoon.
"Fuelband is the flashier product," says Feifer. "It's a product that you see on athletes' wrists, and it has a buzzier, more visible punch. But really, the Fuelband represents Nike's willingness to think of itself as more of an apparel company."
With the Fuelband, Feifer says Nike is clearly considering not only how they outfit athletes, but how they continue to engage with them through social technology.
"It's a smart way to be an ever-present brand," says Feifer.
However, Feifer is even more impressed with the company's Flyknit technology, which knits threads together to create a lighter and more environmentally friendly sneaker.
"Flyknit is the quieter of the two innovations, but it's actually more impressive. It shows that Nike is willing to rethink how it makes its core product, both in terms of the actual manufacturing process and the delivery process," says Feifer.
2. Amazon: Rethinking E-Retail
Feifer is impressed with Amazon thanks to its commitment to "rethinking what an e-retailer is." With the introduction of same-day shipping, Feifer says Amazon shows it knows a company can't rely on brand recognition in today's day and age.
"Customers will always move to who is serving their needs better," Feifer says.
"Once you debut a concept, you own it in this economy for such a short time," says Feifer. "Amazon's ability to reinvest in itself in order to rethink how it serves customers lands it on top of the list, even though it's the largest player in the online retail world."
3. Square: Changing the Way Consumers Interact
"Square is in an extremely competitive space," says Feifer, pointing to the mobile payments revolution, with so many companies focusing on the same concept.
What sets Square apart, says Feifer, is the way the company is thinking about multiple points of entry.
"They're getting the most value out of this technology," says Feifer, pointing to the company's collaboration with Starbucks on the Square Wallet, which allows you to pay for your coffee using your smart phone.
"It's been a stumbling block, in that some of the baristas don't really know how to use it. But while everyone can build an app, they're thinking more about relationships and connections," says Feifer.
4. Splunk: Making the Most Out of Big Data
"Splunk is the company with the least brand recognition for sure," says Feifer. "But it represents big data, which is such a growing space, and Splunk is a leader."
Splunk, which helps make so-called machine data "accessible, usable and valuable to everyone," according to the company's website, went public last year. "Now, it's worth $3 billion," says Feifer.
"It takes data very seriously and shows how organizing it in a smart and effective way can really help your business," Feifer says.
5. Fab: Building an Online Brand Consumers Trust
Feifer says Fab.com has grown to be much more than just another online flash sale site.
"It's become this really smart boutique that understands the importance of storytelling and presentation," Feifer says.
Unlike other flash sale sites, Feifer says, "you feel that Fab has a point of view, thanks to its curation model, which goes beyond simply selling products at a discount. It's established itself as a purveyor – it's a brand you trust."
And with an estimated $150 million in revenue for 2012, it's clear Fab is making an impact when it comes to consumers opening their wallets.
Does One-Size Fit All?
So, should all companies attempt to boldly innovate, each and every year? In a word: no.
Feifer says sometimes it's necessary to just continue to work in the same vein, and that constant innovation may mean that you're moving too quickly as a company.
"It's not a bad thing if you spend a year figuring out the new opportunities that your past innovations can bring you, he says."

Groupon acquired iPad point-of-sale solution Breadcrumb just a few months ago and today the daily deals giant has accordingly unveiled its own POS system for local businesses to use on the iPad. While Groupon has offered a Square-like card reader to its clients, the new service is a fully-featured cash register replacement. Given Groupon's recent launch of its payment system, Groupon Payments, the physical POS system is a natural next step.
With Groupon Payments, Groupon hopes to reassure shareholders that have been disappointment by the company's performance since its initial IPO price at $20 per share tanked and settled into single digits. At the moment, based on Yahoo Finance, Groupon's stock is priced at $5.31. Still, that number is up since September, when it was at its lowest at $4.15 per share.
According to Groupon's blog post, Breadcrumb's General Manager Seth Harris explains that the company will be purposed with the hospitality industry in mind. "We started Breadcrumb to provide the hospitality industry with the best POS experience it has ever had," says Harris. Breadcrumb is a fairly robust point-of-sale system: Servers can search for menu items and rearrange tables within the iPad-based software, take and place orders, split checks, process payments, and access analytics to track sales and performance.
Breadcrumb for Groupon will run strictly on iPads for a recurring monthly rental fee of $99, and this cost includes 24/7 support from Groupon's hospitality focused customer service representatives. Breadcrumb will likely have multiple payment plans depending on the number of terminals that a business is interested in renting. All plans include the iPad compatible Breadcrumb software for rent, unlimited users, and free updates. But for $399 per month, merchants can use Breadcrumb on as many as 10 iPads, according to Breadcrumb's site. Although, for that cost, the hardware (iPads, printers, and cash drawers) isn't included.
Groupon Payments will likely serve as the payment system running on top of Breadcrumb's platform. We've reached out to Groupon to clarify this.
When we last talked to Groupon, we learned exclusively that the company is working on developing a brick-and-mortar point-of-sale terminal for local mom-and-pop type shops, which should be introduced within the next month. According to a Groupon rep, not all small retail owners are tech savvy and interested in evolving into iPad POS services.
With Groupon's stock price slowly climbing, the company may have found a way to crawl out of the daily deals black hole.

I'm an entrepreneur starting my own company. I believe I've identified a market opportunity that i can fulfill by being one of the first movers into one of the most vibrant categories today: the world of the mobile solutions applications.
I'm 32 years old and I've been doing business all my working life. I love identifying new projects that have the potential to be very appealing to a certain target consumer.
My target consumer is mainly the user of any kind of smart phone (iPhone, BlackBerry, etc..), as my product is designed to be used as an application for this kind of devices. He also has to have a credit card and be able to have a medium to high income that allows him to spend around $20-$40 per month for a phone/PC application.
Do to the above, my main consumer is a 28-45 y.o. male or female who works away from home. He's most likely married and with young children. He has a good job and likes to have brag about having the latest technology gadgets.
I want a logo for my company "Adventum" that communicates the following:
That it's a NEW company/product, that it's MODERN and is involved in the new wave of technology smart products.
PLAYFULL but PROFESSIONAL. I believe that the smart way to go with a new technology company these days is to make a fun logo, but that also transmits professionalism. Logos such as "skype", "hulu" and "apple" share the kind of "feel" that I'm looking for.
By contrast, logos like "IBM", "Panasonic", "Intel", 'Toshiba" don't have this playful look into them. For me, they look older and doesn't seem to me that they're part of the new wave of savvy young technology.
The logo has to be CLEAN and without unnecessary design features such as lines crossing it, heavy loaded backgrounds or complicated textures. The logo has to be clear, in front of you and secure of itself.
It has to look great over a solid color background, like solid black or solid white.

View From Studio 3: Predictions for 2014 season
In many parts of this great country, snow is still piled high along roadsides in backyards and parking lots. The big, filthy piles of snow are remnants of a brutal winter for many of us.
It's officially over.
In many parts of this great country, snow is still piled high along roadsides in backyards and parking lots. The big, filthy piles of snow are remnants of a brutal winter for many of us.
It's officially over.
You take the ice scraper from your backseat and toss it in the garage. Good riddance.
For those of you who live in a warm-weather climate; three things:
1. Good choice
2. I'm jealous
3. Bear with me
Finally, hope has arrived. Opening Day is upon us -- time to smell the grass and ballpark food, an unmistakable smell.
Players, fans, vendors and ticket takers all around baseball are tired of reading predictions and analysis. They want the real thing.
So, I apologize (sarcastically, of course) in advance for my take on how the 2014 regular season will go down. But I will tempt you to keep reading by promising a new World Series champion and a Cinderella story.
American League East
Coming off a "miserable" season in which they won 85 games (their fewest since 1995), the Yankees' response was to change their stripes by spending and healing. Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran are on board, while Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira return from seasons lost to injury. Despite losing Robinson Cano to free agency, it stands to reason that the Yankees' offense is more balanced and potent now than it was a year ago.
Their rotation is still anchored by CC Sabathia (the slimmed-down and revitalized version) and Hiroki Kuroda. But it now includes one of the great Japanese-born pitchers in Masahiro Tanaka. Ivan Nova will take a step forward and solidify the back part of the rotation for a full season. If David Robertson falters in the closer's role, the Yankees will make the necessary in-season moves to right the ship. Mariano Rivera may be gone, but New York will end the Jeter era with a division crown by dethroning the World Series champion Boston Red Sox
American League Central
Since division play began in 1969, only two AL teams have reached the League Championship Series three straight seasons while failing to win a World Series in that stretch: the '76-78 Royals and 2011-13 Tigers.
Those franchises will battle each other this season for the AL Central crown. In the end, it will be the Tigers winning a fourth consecutive division title. But it won't be easy.
The Royals are incredibly athletic, great on defense and possess a fantastic bullpen. The difference will be in starting pitching. It is tough to beat Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Anibal Sanchez over a long season. Losing Prince Fielder in a trade and Jose Iglesias to injury will sting, but Ian Kinsler will be an asset at second base and adding Joe Nathan to the back of the bullpen completes a pitching staff that is the best in the division
American League West
The Angels, Rangers and Mariners are trying to find the magic formula to bump off the Athletics. While division newcomers Cano and Fielder may help close the gap a bit, Oakland is the best team, top to bottom, in the division. That's even with a season-ending injury to Jarrod Parker.
The pitching is young but battle-tested, and the bullpen may be the best in baseball, with Jim Johnson replacing Grant Balfour as closer. Corner outfielders Josh Reddick and Yoenis Cespedes will improve upon their 2013 numbers, and Oakland will three-peat in the wild AL West.
AL Wild Card winners: Kansas City and Tampa Bay
National League East
The 2014 Nationals will do what many of us believed they would accomplish last year: win the division.
The starting rotation, headlined by Jordan Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg, is relentless. The rotation actually will actually be deeper than last season once Doug Fister returns from the disabled list.
With All-Stars all around the field, manager Matt Williams inherits a club that, on it's face, has no real weaknesses. And given the injuries to a few of the Braves' starting pitchers this spring, Atlanta will not have the rotation depth to keep up with the Nats.
National League Central
St . Louis is easily identifiable by the Gateway Arch, but its signature landmark is fast becoming "The Pitching Tree."
The Cardinals make it look so easy. Need a new arm? Just pluck one off the branches. Young guns like Michael Wacha, Joe Kelly, Shelby Miller, Trevor Rosenthal and Carlos Martinez will give the Cardinals a shot to win every year, not just in 2014. And don't forget about the best starting battery in the NL Central -- Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina.
The Cardinals also added a power bat at shortstop in Jhonny Peralta to beef up the middle of a lineup that also includes Matt Holliday, Molina and Allen Craig.
National League West
There is no reason for the Dodgers not to win the West this season. But they will be pushed big time by the Giants and D-backs.
The difference maker will be L.A.'s offense. Every night, Don Mattingly will have to pick three outfielders from a crop that could all be All-Stars.
Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke lead a deep rotation, but it's the bullpen that may actually be the deeper unit. Kenley Jansen, Brian Wilson, J.P. Howell and Brandon League will be a nightmare for the opposition. If the Dodgers can withstand the pressure to win at all costs, they'll defend their division crown.
NL Wild Card winners: D-backs, Giants
World Series match-up: Rays vs. Cardinals
World Series champions: Rays

NWSB Writer Ben Tole recaps how the Seattle Storm have been faring as they prepare for a ninth consecutive appearance in the WNBA playoffs. With five games remaining on the schedule, the fourth-seeded Storm can only move up one spot in the Western Conference standings, and even that seems a little far-fetched at this point.

English Teacher
I am the only native teacher at my school and I teach speaking. I need some ideas about conversation lessons. I use conversation cards but my lessons are 40 minutes long and my elementary school students get really bored. Whenever I do a song fill in the blanks or a speaking game to liven the lesson up, the other teachers get angry at me because I am the native teacher and I should be focused on speaking. I need ideas of how to make a speaking lesson fun but whenever I ask other teachers for ideas they get angry because I am the native teacher and I should know how to make speaking fun. I have one lesson where I am assigned to teach grammar and honestly I enjoy it more because I can do a variety of activities, while speaking I can only do so much..... I need ideas for fun speaking lessons that fill out a 40 minute lesson
