Hans Leenhouts needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 34 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
This website / portal gives information on education and working in the fastservice branche and is ment to make young people enthousiastic on working in this branche. Also the people around the (future) student must know that this branche is giving a lot of opportunities for a nice job, good money and to start your own business later or become a manager running such an outlet.
Actually there is one major "College" providing this kind of education all over the Netherlands. Centrally organized and local classrooms. For the "college" we need restyling of the website. For the old one look at: http://www.fastserviceopleidingen.nl and see why we need a new website. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE OLD NAVIGATION STRUCTURE FOR THE NEW WEBSITE. SEE SEPARATE FILE! (SITEMAP.JPG)
So 3 main streams: students, companies and schools / parents.
Apart from the education / school activities we also provide stand alone training possibilities for entrepreneurs and employees.
Like in the rest of the world many people in the Netherlands visit Quick Service Restaurants like McDonald's, Burgerking, KFC. Apart from these well-known fastfoodrestaurants, we consider also outlets where food and drinks are being served (fast) to consume on the spot or to go/take away, being part of a branche called "Fastservice": a blend of (quick)foodservice, retail and hospitality industry.
Not only in Holland the branche has a negative image: for as well as the food ( unhealthy) as working (so called Mcjobs). And we want to improve this image here in Holland.
- future students,
- students,
- companies who hire students of with vacancies
- parents of the (future) students
- teachers on schools
So 3 main stream visitors: students, companies and schools / parents: possible 3 entries on the homepage for each group
We have a brand new logo designed through 99 designs.com and now we go for the website. (hidden contest).
• Website will be built in Joomla by our own programmers: so we built the site based upon the image/design we are getting. So keep in mind that the "button" links are made of HTML and NOT graphic buttons. We keep HTML buttons as we keep flexibility to change the site easily. if possible we like you to make the template as well.
• The website needs to reflect the feeling of young and enthousiastic people who are happy and want to work in this branche. Site should be attractive, people oriented, convincing and creating a WOW effect so (future) student are stimulated to take action: mail, phone, filling in the application form. Feeling of support/ community.
!! For more requirement pls read the attached file !!
Looking forward to your designs

The emergence of 24-hour national cable news, with CNN becoming hugely popular during the 1991 Gulf War, may have had something to do with the wave of high school shootings of the later 1990s that fizzled out in tedium in 2001. Events like Columbine were perfect for filling up many hours per day. Then, 9/11 and the anthrax poisonings came along and that gave us lots of new stuff to obsess about. Perhaps potential high school shooters intuited that not as many viewers would pay attention to them in the wake of 9/11, so why bother?
From Wikipedia:
The Starkweather–Fugate case inspired the films The Sadist (1963), Badlands(1973), Kalifornia (1993), Natural Born Killers (1994) and Starkweather (2004).
Badlands, with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek, launched director Terrance Malick's career. In the late 1970s, critic John Simon called it the best movie he'd ever seen. Natural Born Killers was made by Oliver Stone near his technical peak.

thedoghouseinn needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 82 designs submitted by 22 freelance designers.
Our existing logo has grown old and is too childish! Help! See it at:
Dog Behavior Rehab
We sort of like our existing logo- people who need our help recognize instantly that we see their pain! See http://www.dogbehaviorrehab.com. However, we need it to be a bit more professional, less cartoon like and more modern, sophisticated... emblematic of the larger company we have become.
The work we do is very similar to Cesar Millan The Dog Whisperer's work. We rehabilitate dogs with a pack of dogs, so the suggestion of several dogs might be nice, but not necessary.
Get creative and have fun!!
We will provide regular feedback, and rate the incoming designs in the following manner:
1 star - wrong direction
2 star - some elements we like
3 star - getting closer but need revisions or a different take on your design
4 star - design is being considered
5 star - made the final cut!
- modern
- sophisticated
- general outline of dog or dogs OK
- the text "Dog Behavior Rehab" needs to be included
- suggestion of movement is good
- text only
- complex lines- must be able to embroider it easily, without too high of a thread count.
- Please stay away from cartoonish look, and breed specific dogs- no labs, shepherds, bulldogs, pit bulls, pugs, chihuahuas, just don't do it!!!

When FLW pro Bryan Thrift of Shelby gave his seminar in February at the Central Carolina Boat & Fishing Expo in Greensboro, he was looking ahead to the spawning season.
When FLW pro Bryan Thrift of Shelby gave his seminar in February at the Central Carolina Boat & Fishing Expo in Greensboro, he was looking ahead to the spawning season.
Thrift talked about sight-fishing which takes place from April into early May when the largemouth bass move shallow to spawn.
During the spawn, the fish are more interested in child-rearing than they are in feeding, so bites for fishermen become scarce. Fishermen can provoke some strikes by sight-fishing; that is, they scan the shallows using polarized glasses until they spy fish on their beds. Then they attempt to irritate the fish into striking by tossing small plastics and jigs.
Sometimes the fish simply swim away; at other times, they keep returning to their nests. Others are "locked on" to their nests. The ones that swim away can't be caught; the others might take a bait that passes by them repeatedly.
Thrift said modern day tackle has eliminated the need for heavy gear and "cross-their-eyes" hooksets related to sight-fishing. Thrift uses braided line with a leader of 17-to 20-pound-test fluorocarbon line.
"There's no stretch with fluorocarbon line so a firm hookset is possible with light-action rods instead of the broom sticks of yesteryears," said Thrift, who uses a medium-action 6' 9" rod.
Thrift employs a 4-inch Damiki Air Craw, a soft-bodied plastic crawfish with air pockets in its claws to make the lure stand vertically as if in a defensive posture that entices bass into striking. A slight shake of the rod stands the bait up vertically.
"The soft plastic also helps the angler bury the hook in the fish," said Thrift.
Thrift uses two basic colors for sight-fishing, either a natural-looking pearl white hue or a dark hue like blue/black. His first choice is the pearl white because he can see it better.
"When the pearl bait disappears from view, I know a fish has taken the bait," said Thrift.
Thrift uses another rig for reluctant bass. He employs a 1/8-ounce Shaky-head jig in conjunction with a 3-inch Air Craw and casts it with spinning tackle. He prefers a screw-lock jig model to keep the plastic bait from sliding down the hook.
This rig is effective for sight-fishing and for catching finicky bass under docks. Its small profile enables Thrift to flip the bait into the smallest crevices and far under floating docks.
Thrift's final tip involves downsizing to 10-or 12-pound-test line if the bite remains slow.
"A lot of fishermen fear losing big fish with light line, but at least you have a chance if you get the fish to bite," said Thrift. "If the fish never bites, you have no chance at all."
Some sight-fishing takes place at High Rock in the clearer sections of Abbotts and Flat Swamp creeks, but the lake's stained waters prevent it from being a good sight-fishing lake. Top sight-fishing waters include lakes Badin, Tillery, Norman, and Hickory.
Fishermen have expressed a concern about a bill to increase boat registration fees to offset inlet dredging costs.
The bill is only a proposal as is the game-status bill which is a proposal to use a percentage of marine fuel tax to pay for dredging.
"Bills are only proposals that must be voted upon and passed by the General Assembly, then signed by the governor before becoming law," said Craig Holt of North Carolina Sportsman magazine. "When either happens, I'll write about it."
Holt writes "Backlashes" for the magazine where he comments upon proposed legislation that affects sportsmen.
Lexington's Chris Baldwin placed 22nd with 28-00 and won $1,221 at the April 25-27 Everstart Series Northern Division tournament at Smith Mountain Lake, Va.
Jason Threadgill of Norwood and Scott Threadgill of Troy won Saturday's CATT Yadkin Division tournament at Badin Lake with 17.45 pounds and received $800.
Winston-Salem's Derek Tolley, fishing alone, placed second with 17.10 pounds and banked $300.
Derek Crumbley of High Point and Calvin McCaskill of Thomasville ranked third with 16.70 pounds and shared $200. Chris Chimiak of Winston-Salem and Scott Shannon captured the fourth-place prize of $166 with 16.35.
Terry James of Wadesboro and Alan Griffin of Polkton took the big-fish prize of $154 with a 5.35-pound bass.

During the current fiscal year, Judge Susan Webber Wright has sentenced 9 defendants compared with 4 defendants during the twelve months of the previous fiscal year. Judge Susan Webber Wright's service terminated on December 1, 1990, due to statutory reassignment of judg.
Over the last five years, the average prison sentence imposed on defendants that were credited to Judge Wright was 111.9 months. This was 67.5% higher than the 66.8 months typical in Arkansas East and 61.4% higher than the 69.3 months average prison sentence for the nation. Judge Susan Webber Wright sentenced 29 defendants during the past five years.

During the last five years there were 6 other judges in the Eastern District of Arkansas with information on convictions during that period. Average prison sentence numbers passed down for those judges ranged from 47.3 months to 67.6 months, putting Judge Wright's average prison sentence of 111.9 months at the higher end of the range. The average prison sentence for the whole Eastern District of Arkansas during that time was 66.8 months.

Bristol Phoenix Press, 2007 - Fiction - 336 pages
John Conington's three-volume edition of The Works of Virgil, begun in 1852, has long been unavailable except in rare second hand sets. The whole work is now being reissued in six affordable paperbacks, with new introductions setting the commentary in its context. Well into the twentieth century Conington's Virgil remained the sine qua non for school and undergraduate students and their teachers. Conington's commentary is remarkably close and uncompromising in its engagement with the detail of Virgil's Latin, as well as its literary sensitivity; it still has much to offer the modern reader.This volume includes Virgil's text of the Georgics; Conington's introduction to and commentary for the Georgics; Philip Hardie's general assessment of Conington; Monica Gale's introduction to the Georgics. Also includes Conington's index.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution scientists, forced by a court earlier this year to turn over confidential e-mails to BP about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, are calling for more legal protections for researchers' private communications.
BP won access to the e-mails as part of a federal government lawsuit against the company for damages resulting from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster.
The Woods Hole researchers were involved early on as volunteers to help BP and the government estimate how much oil was flowing from the leaking well. The company argued that the Woods Hole scientists made errors in their calculations and that it needed to see all correspondence to determine why.
Writing Thursday in the journal Science, Woods Hole researcher Richard Camilli and colleagues said the type of e-mails that BP won from the institution in June can be filled with lively debate, dead-ends, skepticism, and challenges.
He said in an interview that the institution was willing to comply with BP's request for 50,000 pages of documents, computer code, reports, and raw data so the company could analyze and confirm the findings — but not the private 3,500 e-mails the company received that dealt with the "scientific deliberative process."
Those e-mails included communications with co-authors, editors, and journal reviewers.
"If you make that deliberative process so it can be used by one of the litigants, that hampers the process of independent scientific review," Camilli said. Colleagues at other institutions have told him the Woods Hole experience with BP would make them reluctant to aid in a similar way because their private communications could be taken out of context and misconstrued.
"This is the kind of chilling effect on scientific research that is detrimental to society," Camilli said.
Once, such deliberations were done in person or by phone, but e-mail has provided a written record that companies or other special interest groups are gaining access to through courts or Freedom of Information Act requests. Legal specialists say such efforts by private interests appear to be growing.
The scientists' estimate of oil flow matters because the billions of dollars BP will have to pay in damages is likely to be based in large part on how much oil was spilled during the crisis.
The US government has relied on some Woods Hole work that estimated there were 4.9 billion barrels of oil spilled during the crisis.
BP has said in legal correspondence that the Woods Hole work is "fundamentally flawed" and researchers made "puzzling, apparently arbitrary, suspiciously offsetting" decisions in their work. The company says the amount of oil released is probably far less.
In a statement released Thursday, BP said it "is a company of scientists and engineers, and the subpoena served on Woods Hole is in no way an attack on science."
The statement said such information is regularly sought in court and in this case "the Court found, among other things, that there was a demonstrated need for the materials because there was no other source for them."
'If you make that deliberative process so it can be used by one of the litigants, that hampers the process of independent scientific review.'
Woods Hole officials fought the request, but ultimately the court ordered them to produce the e-mails or risk being found in contempt of court.
After weighing the possibility of being found in contempt, paying substantial fines, and possibly jeopardizing federal grants for the entire institution, Woods Hole decided reluctantly to release them, said Christopher C. Land, a Goodwin Procter lawyer representing the institution.
In the Science piece, Camilli and his colleagues noted that the courts have ruled inconsistently on the issue of protecting the scientific process over the years.
They highlight one case last year when a federal court denied the drug company Bayer's demand for confidential comments from outside scientists who peer-reviewed a study, saying confidentiality must be upheld and "anything less discourages candid discussion and weakens the process."
The authors called for federal legislation to protect researchers from "legal harassment by interests seeking to silence scientific inquiry or retribution for publishing independent research findings."
At the least, they wrote, scientists need to be granted the same legal standing as litigants.
But Woods Hole researchers and officials made clear they do not see it as their role to push legislation. While the institution's president and director Susan Avery has reached out to congressional staff members and colleagues to raise awareness of the issue, "we can only take things so far, we are not lawyers,'' Avery said an interview this week.
She said organizations such as the National Academy of Sciences and the American Association of University Professors could start a dialogue on the issue.
Legal analysts say there appear to be more cases of critics trying to discredit scientists by bringing to light the deliberative process, when ideas and arguments are not fully formed.
"My sense is that it is increasing,'' said Rachel Levinson-Waldman, former senior counsel for the American Association of University Professors who is now with the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University.
She said she has noticed an increase in Freedom of Information requests for scientists' private correspondence, such as those aimed at US climate scientists by interest groups hoping to discredit their work. The demand to look at e-mail communication, she said, "seems designed to embarrass and chill . . . and driven by an agenda."
The Union of Concerned Scientists, a research and advocacy group, is so concerned over the issue that it has created a booklet for scientists to respond to criticism and personal attacks. Called "Science in an Age of Scrutiny," the document gives advice on how scientists should respond to demands for private information or attacks.
"Science publishes its data when it's ready for prime time,'' said Michael Halpern, program manager at the organization. If scientists are forced to turn over private e-mails, he added, "it would have a stifling effect."Carolyn Y. Johnson of the Globe staff contributed to this report.

Lube is a metaphor for web optimization. When a visitor makes a web transaction, the most positive experience occurs when they find exactly what they want with the least amount of clicks. The more clicks, the more friction. By adding "conversion lube" to your site, you are minimizing the friction and increasing sales; by directing people down the sales/conversion funnel faster.
Savvy, educated internet marketing professionals. I am targeting people who are looking for the newest trends and strategies to implement online.
Please see the following competitor sites that I like and want to improve upon.
I want the logo to be a 3D futuristic bottle containing a liquid that looks radioactive and contained is a liquid vortex that looks unstable.
It must to be on a white background
Here are some bottle designs that I would like to use as a guide:
The typeface should be clean and bold. I want it to stand out, similar to the font style found in the movie "Tron".
I was thinking if we could unify Procter & Gamble's Tide® with an LCD digital font http://www.yankodesign.com/2010/09/…ative-tap/
Please feel free to experiment with colors.
Please do NOT use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
I want the original design files in .psd and .ai and a .eps file and .jpeg.
I look forward to working with the winner of this contest on developing my twitter background and business card.

We have received occasional but persistent reports of players not able to see all the text for a quiz. Here are some typical descriptions:
"Hi Steven Yesterday (9th) was a very easy quiz but for answer 2 and 5, I just saw the boxes, but there was absolutely nothing in the corresponding Choice/Explanation field, so I haven't any reason to check the box (with nothing you can't do nothing. Unfortunately, now with the answer, I see what it should have been and that I have 2 mistakes because of that."
"On yesterday's quiz (about UTL_FILE) I could only see 4 possible answers although there were 5 tick boxes. I did not take a screenshot but the middle solution was completely blank."
We have not been able to reproduce this problem; it is likely related to the image rendering, which can be tricky across browsers.
Please submit a bug report if this has happened to you. And if you see it happening again, please take a screenshot and include that in the bug report.
I am using Firefox 3.6.8 and have not had any problems. Perhaps those of you on 3.6.3 could upgrade and that will resolve the problem?

If it happens to you, try holding in Ctrl while pressing and releasing the F5 key, this MIGHT cause the missing image to be rendered for you. It worked for me the only time I was missing the question text.ReplyDelete

Fawcett at Collier's
David Apatoff of Illustration Art blog continues his narrative on Robert Fawcett:
"In the 1950s, Fawcett illustrated two fictional series for Colliers
that established himself as one of the foremost illustrators in
America: the Hercule Poirot stories by Agatha Christie and the new
Sherlock Holmes stories by Adrian Conan Doyle. One of Fawcett's
illustrations for Sherlock Holmes won the award for Best Illustration
of the Year from the Society of Illustrators. Both series were a labor
of love for Fawcett, and both made the illustration community sit
upright and pay attention. A contemporary of Fawcett recalls that
when Fawcett walked into a monthly luncheon of Westport illustrators,
some of the other illustrators bowed and scraped, a precursor to the
"I'm not worthy" joke from Mike Myer's 'Wayne's World.'"
Yesterday I received this interesting note from TI list member Bruce Hettema:
"Hi Leif,
Here's some Bob Fawcett trivia. Bob was Haines Hall's (Patterson & Hall) brother in law. Haines was married to his sister."
You can see some examples of Hall's excellent work in my Haines Hall Flickr set.

President Obama has said many times that "part of a president's job is to be able to deal with more than one thing at once." But another part of a president's job is setting priorities, and with the U.S. economy hanging in the balance, installing Susan Rice as secretary of state shouldn't be one of them.
A newly reelected president has a limited amount of political capital that should be expended wisely. You may disagree with George W. Bush's failed 2005 pushes on comprehensive immigration reform or private Social Security accounts, but you can't argue that these were small ideas. Nor were Obama's first-term drives for a massive stimulus package, health reform and an overhaul of financial regulations in the wake of the Wall Street collapse. Agree or disagree, they were fundamental and important.
Going to the mat on a personnel matter like Rice, by contrast, would be more about ego and base pacification than what's important for the country.
It's not that Republicans have a particularly strong case against the U.N. ambassador and her unfortunate round of Sunday show appearances on Benghazi. But her inability to win over several GOP senators in one-on-one meetings did not inspire confidence. And as many have noted, her record and temperament are problematic in some respects. Beyond that, as much as Obama may like and respect Rice, there are other good candidates for the job, topped by Senate Foreign Relations chairman John Kerry.
In other words, a confrontation over Rice is unnecessary. It would also be counterproductive.
As former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer put it, "Nothing is isolated in the presidency. Every action has an interaction with other events." Obama is "playing a firm hand" in the fiscal cliff standoff and trying to get Republicans to buckle on tax rates, said Fleischer, who worked for Bush. "If he also says Republicans need to buckle on Rice, all his actions would poison the well."
Obama is not only insisting that Republicans agree to raise marginal tax rates on household income above $250,000, he's also telling them to forget about staging a repeat of the 2011 debt ceiling standoff. "We can't afford to go there," he said at a Business Roundtable meeting on Wednesday. "If Congress in any way suggests that they're going to tie negotiations to debt ceiling votes and take us to the brink of default once again as part of a budget negotiation … I will not play that game."
That's just a small sampling of the struggles ahead. Negotiations on tax reform, spending cuts, entitlement reform and long-term debt reduction likely will take up much of 2013. Immigration reform looms as another difficult issue. Obama probably will also have the opportunity to name more Supreme Court justices, setting the stage for confirmation fights in the Senate. Then there is the inevitable tug-of-war over regulations and spending associated with the new Affordable Care Act.
That lineup offers plenty of moments more appropriate than a Rice nomination to go all tough and recalcitrant.
Far from a macho-style leader, Obama has dealt throughout his political career with perceptions of weakness. In his first term, Republicans accused him of bowing, apologizing and "leading from behind" in international affairs even as he accelerated drone attacks and ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Liberals denounced his repeated attempts to reach bipartisan deals on health and budget legislation, though some now are coming to see the health law and 2011 budget deal as wins.
Obama has kept moving at his own pace in his own way, meanwhile, seemingly unconcerned about his image or leadership brand. If the past is a guide, he's not likely to start worrying now. Just this week, referring to Rice, Bloomberg Television's Julianna Goldman asked him: "Would it look like a sign of weakness if you did not appoint her to secretary of state?"
"No," the president said. He called Rice "highly qualified" but added: "I'm going to make a decision about who's going to be the best secretary of state, given we've got a changing world."
The rest of his answer reflected very careful thinking. First, he won't be like Bush having to withdraw the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers, or the late George McGovern having to back off his 1,000 percent support of initial vice presidential pick Tom Eagleton. Obama has kept his options open. As he told Bloomberg, "Susan Rice has done a great job as U.N. ambassador, but I haven't made a decision about secretary of state."
Second, right after he said that, Obama pivoted to what everyone knows is the main event. "The most important thing we can do for national security, though, is to get our economy on track," he said.
That's an enormously complicated and contentious challenge all by itself. The president may well conclude that there's no reason to alienate his negotiating partners by initiating a personnel fight that could end up damaging Rice's reputation and ability to serve as well as the odds of securing the country's fiscal future.

SDN Strategies Part 1: Vendors Vie For Market, Mindshare
While software-defined networking is key to every networking vendor's product strategy, that doesn't mean IT is buying the message. In fact, InformationWeek's most recent SDN Survey shows that most vendors earn a failing grade when it comes to explaining their plans.
The survey asked respondents to rate on a scale of 1 through 5 how familiar they are with the SDN strategies of 20 vendors, with a score of 5 equaling "extremely familiar." Except for Cisco, which eked out a gentleman's C with a rating of 3.1 out of 5, respondents are generally unfamiliar with vendors' plans.
The survey also asked which vendors' strategies best address their organizations' requirements. A majority of respondents, 58%, say Cisco's SDN strategy best fits their business needs, perhaps as a result of its market share leadership and ability to directly communicate its vision and product plans with customers. Other major enterprise vendors, including Arista, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Juniper, are bunched in the 16% range, while small SDN specialty shops such as Embrane, Midokura, and Plexxi are barely blips on respondents' radar screens.
Interestingly, Cisco is aiming to further simplify its SDN slate by bundling and licensing products in four suites: Cisco ONE Essentials, Cisco ONE Foundational Elements, Cisco ONE Advanced Application Services, and Cisco ONE Advanced Security Services.
Dismal communication or not, there's a land grab afoot for market and mindshare up and down the network stack, from switches to services, with tech giants and upstarts alike rolling out new strategies, architectures, and products designed to virtualize and automate network services. If you're not looking to get insight into the various strategies, disruptive startups, and who's atop the leaderboard in the new world of software-defined everything, you should be.
That's because, much like cloud, big data, and mobility, SDN is a broad, nebulous term that can mean everything from automated configuration management to wholesale control over network flows, policies, and services. Such a diverse spectrum of interpretations translates to an equally divergent set of vendor strategies and feature sets.
As with other IT segments, some networking vendors want to be the one-stop shop for all your hardware and software needs; many see SDN as just one piece in a fully software-controlled datacenter running virtual network services and applications completely abstracted from the physical infrastructure. Put Dell, HP, IBM, Cisco, VMware, even Oracle in this group. Others, including Citrix and Midokura, see SDN as a natural extension for delivering virtual (as opposed to physical) network services and applications.
Shops do have time to decide which vision makes sense for their businesses, but the longer you wait to start evaluating, the more catch-up you'll need to play.
One key point: Push back when anyone tries to sell you shiny new SDN technology without tying it to business benefits. IT has been down that path, and it makes you no friends in the CFO's office. Demonstrating business value should be job one for every vendor on our list.
IT pros who've been burned by proprietary systems are wary, so vendors also must prove they're in tune with established industry standards. "SDN in and of itself has potential, but needs to be standardized, much like Ethernet and networking standards are, before it will be commonplace," one IT pro said in the survey. "Right now, it's at the top of the 'buzzword' list."
As you'll see in this series of blog posts, products are starting to catch up to promises. I'll provide a rundown of SDN products in order of each vendor's SDN survey placement on the question of best strategy. In the next post, I'll look at SDN products from Cisco, Arista, and HP.

Remember that timing is everything when sending them out. If its one for young children then be careful not to send them out too early, as that will spoil the anticipation for them. For adult ones, on the other hand, you certainly want to make sure you send them out in plenty of time. We have a friend who always has his diary filled in at least three months in advance! If you have a friend like that, you might want to send his or her party invitation out before the mass mailing!
The party invitation is the first thing your guests will see so if you want to make a statement about your party, this is the place to start! If you come up with an original idea, you can create wonderful, cheap ones that will get your guests excited and have them eagerly anticipating your event. Here are ideas that are cheap but stunning
Once you have designed and created your own unique invitations, it is time to send them out. Its a feeling of sweet anticipation, sending your invites out and waiting to see who can come!
1. Photomontage - Make really personal ones with a photomontage thats appropriate to the event. If its a birthday party you could use photos of the birthday boy or girl as a baby or child; for a Christmas one you could cut out photos of snowmen and Santas from magazines. Once you have finished your photomontage you can have copies made onto thick paper at your local print shop, write the details on the back and hey presto, unique party invitations! 2. Origami invites - Write the invitations nicely onto square pieces of colored paper and fold into a cool origami shape - a flower, boat or even a dinosaur. 3. Balloon invites - These are great fun for kids . You blow up a bunch of balloons and write the details on each balloon. Let the ink dry and then deflate the balloons. Send a balloon to each guest, inviting him or her to blow it up - so they can read the invite!

Prepare yourself for Black. Black is an insane compilation of all of Dan's work many years in the making. All of the following effects are practical, direct, and super creative. These effects have been designed and tested for the real world, anytime, anywhere. Dan has been working for nearly a year now on this project, a full, in depth 84 page book. These routines will include:
INKED : A card is chosen from a blue backed deck and signed. It is lost back into the deck. The performer places the deck down, and claims he possesses a magical red backed card. He cleanly pulls out his wallet, and takes out a red backed card. Slowly, he reveals that the signature has transposed onto the red backed card that has been in his wallet the entire time.
NO CHARGE : A super visual ace production. With no cover whatsoever, four aces visually appear out of nowhere. A great opener for any routine!
BURN : A card is signed, and the spectator tears it into several pieces. The performer introduces a lighter, and sets the pieces alight on top of the deck. After the flame dies out, he rubs the ashes against the back of the top card of the deck. He then instructs the spectator to turn over the top card…their signed card! Everything happens in the spectator's hands, and the book includes several devious handlings behind this wonderful effect.
MEMORY : This technique will allow you to memorize the order of a deck shuffled by the spectator! You can name almost any card at any location with ease. With the right presentation, this will kill audiences.
INFRARED : Imagine this. A SEALED invisible deck effect…the spectator THINKS of any card. They name it, and the remove the plastic. They break the seal, and spread through in their own hands. One card is flipped over in the middle. It is their chosen card. This routine is devastating, and can be accomplished in one simple setup.
AMIDST : This is Dan's classic three phase sandwich effect. Four aces are visually produced by the "No Charge" production. The aces are removed, and held in one packet. The magician places one red ace back into the deck. As soon as the other red ace is sandwiched between the two black aces, it swaps places with the red ace placed into the middle of the deck. The magician claims he will take it one step further. The spectator shuffles the four aces back in randomly. He claims the black ink is more dense, so it will sandwich the red aces, no matter the location in the deck. To his surprise, two jokers are sandwiching the two red aces. The black aces are nowhere to be found…only to end up in the spectator's pocket!
INFERNAL CHEAT : An amazing revelation involving a borrowed watch, and a deck of cards. The magician has a spectator choose any card. He claims he will reveal it in a very odd way. The value of their card, corresponds with the time on their watch. So if they picked a four, their watch would jump forward to four o' clock. Anytime, anywhere, and absolutely devastating.
ENEMY : This an amazing card stab routine. The spectator points to any card, but the face is never looked at. To keep track of the card, the spectator signs the back of it. It is lost back into the deck, and the cards are spread all around an open table face up. The performer introduces a knife, raises it high, and drives it straight into the table. Low and behold, he has stabbed one single card. The audience knows what's coming for them. He slowly lifts the knife to reveal their exact signature punctured by the knife.
TRANSPORT : Another cards across routine? No. This one blows them all out of the water. Everything happens in the spectator's hands, and there is no difficult sleights involved. The performer begins with a red deck, but it is somewhat old and clumped up. He continues to have the spectator sign the card, and lose it back in. He claims he will attempt to finish the effect with a new deck. He pulls out a blue deck out of the box, and in the middle, one red backed card is found. Their signed card.
SCITHE : Same card in the end. This is Dan's take on the classic here then there. This is truly an astonishing transposition, as no duplicates are involved. He replaced the duplicate with a new force, making the effect that much stronger. This effect will blow audiences away even in the worst situations. You can do it with a borrowed deck!
IMPRESSION : Two insane variations of this effect are taught. A card is signed, and buried in the middle. The magician claims he can make it jump to the top, but the top card is only found to be blank. He walks over to any copy machine, or computer scanner, and makes a fresh copy of the blank card. As it slowly prints out, their chosen card is printed on the paper. A second variation is taught, where the magician snaps a photo of the blank card with a cell phone camera. Right after the picture is taken, you can see the faint outline of their chosen card in the saved photo. An absolutely devastating effect, and an even better method.
LIGHTNING MONTE : This effect is based around the classic two card Monte, but Dan took it several steps further. The magician cleanly places one ace in their fingers. At LIGHTNING speed, they instantly switch. The cards could be face up if you wanted them to be! Finally, it ends with the classic transposition of the jokers. This routine will heighten your reactions on any of your Monte routines! No gaffs, duplicates, or gimmicks. This can be done with a borrowed deck. Super practical.
TORCHED : This routine is perfect for you devious restaurant magicians out there! The magician takes a straw wrapper, and writes every card in one suit on the wrapper. He then has the spectator choose any card. He introduces a book of matches, and he sets the wrapper alight. It quickly burns up, but the flame instantly extinguishes itself right before one card written on the wrapper. So if they chose a four, it would stop at the four. A truly amazing reveal! Dan also provides awesome advice on how to routine this with a previous effect in the book, Burn.
FLAW : Dan saved the best for last. This card to box effect will kill audiences. It is super easy, direct, and practical. He introduces a red deck and blue deck both in their boxes. He removes both decks from their boxes. One spectator chooses one blue card from the blue deck, and the same for the red deck. The cards are lost back into their corresponding decks. After the magician will claim he will make them transpose into the opposite deck. He is quite surprised to find that he screwed up. Both chosen cards have completely vanished. After looking slightly confused, he points to the card boxes. He touches nothing. Again, it all happens in the spectator's hands. The remove each chosen card from one box, but here is the kicker. The chosen blue card is found inside the red box, and the chosen red card is found inside the blue box. No palms, loads, or gimmicks. This routine CAN and WILL become part of your repertoire.
Besides these devastating effects, this amazing book includes many informative articles to help you along the way. Dan also has full spreads about Psychological forcing, Hellstromism, food for thought, scams, and deception. He also covers his ideas on magic, including inspiration, effort, and passion. This information will make you become a much stronger performer, and make you find your true identity as an artist. Purchase this book now, and you will not be disappointed. Guaranteed. You will receive 84 pages of useful information.

Mason Captures A-10 Men's Soccer Title With 1-0 Victory Over Saint Louis
Related Links
DAYTON, Ohio – George Mason's Alex Herrera buried a penalty kick try with just over nine minutes left in the match to give second-seeded Mason a 1-0 victory over top-seeded Saint Louis in the finals of the 2013 Atlantic Men's Soccer Championship.
The victory marks the first A-10 team championship for George Mason after joining the Conference in July. The Patriots earn the A-10's automatic bid to the 2013 NCAA Tournament which will announce its field on Monday at Noon on NCAA.com.
Herrera, who also assisted on Mason's game-winning goal in an overtime victory over VCU in the semifinals, was named the Championship's Most Outstanding Player.
A defensive match, played mainly in the midfield, saw Mason out shoot Saint Louis 12-10, but the two teams combined to put just five shot on frame for the entire match.
With the match scoreless, Saint Louis committed a foul inside the box and Mason was awarded a penalty shot, which Herrera was able to convert.
Joining Herrera on the All-Championship Team was his teammates Hugh Roberts, Timi Mulgrew and Steffen Krauss. Dennis Castillo and Nate Shiffman from VCU along Anthony Manning, David Graydon, Alex Sweetin, and Kingsley Bryce of SLU. John McCarthy of La Salle was also named to the team..

A lefty video blogger tried to turn the tables on a Faux News attack goon at an ACORN gathering.
Normally, I avoid the left wing blogs like Faux avoids fact because they're just as pathetic and conspiracy-driven as the stuff spewed forth by the hardcore right.
But this was funny, in a bad way, because it showed hard core right wing silliness and hard core left wing silliness on a collision course.
Clash of the Titans? Uh, try Clash of the Weenies…
Faux News ambusher Griff Jenkins came in tuxedo and with his own red carpet to an ACORN meeting, no doubt ready to create some high-level hijinks for the Death Star of News.
Notice the Faux guy trying to do what Salon's Joan Walsh did to Bill O'Reilly Friday night by averting the topic and not playing ball with Mr. Left. Walsh was a lot better at it than this dude.
Watch as "progressive blogger" Adam Green tries to mimic Mike Wallace as he incessantly grills Jenkins about the talking points that Faux shares with the GOP.
And then, to cap it off, it appears that an ACORN guy comes out to bust heads, or at least camera equipment. Or maybe he's looking to register some dead guys to vote.
Green clearly doesn't have the stomach for this. He runs out of gas pretty quickly. He was really trying hard and he was earnest. The video's title — "Avenging Amanda Terke" tells you how serious this mission was to him. But the fact is that nice guys can't ambush worth a crap.
But it does appear, near the end of the video, that body check was enough to knock Jenkns off his game momentarily. Jenkins looked silly enough in his costume; after Green, he looks dazed and confused.
Hopefully he recovered enough to harass some innocent people later in the day.
This video isn't journalism, but it's great trainwreck footage. I can't wait to see how Faux edits it.

Round 1, Game 5: Blackhawks 5, Wild 1
The Blackhawks have begun the chase for the Stanley Cup, and RedEye is covering their journey through the eyes of the fans. With their 5-1 victory Thursday at the United Center, the Hawks won their first postseason series since winning the Stanley Cup in 2010. In attendance was Hawks fan and Minnesota native Desirae Kirchmeier.
Desirae Kirchmeier, 33, Streeterville
"In '93, Norm Green sent the North Stars, the hometown team, to Dallas. I was only 13, so I remember it but I wasn't that close to it. But it was a devastating loss for Minnesota to lose their hockey team to Texas of all places. A couple people tried to hold on and pretend they were Dallas Stars fans, but most people tried to find their new team. I think just because Chicago was close, I started to like the Blackhawks.
"I ended up moving out of Minnesota right around the time that they finally got the Wild. I never followed them. I didn't like the name. I came to Chicago [in 2004], and nobody really liked the Blackhawks here. But [the United Center] was a great place to go to watch really awesome teams play against the Blackhawks for almost nothing. I love hockey, so I started going to the games. The Blackhawks were always the underdog team, so I wanted to cheer for this crappy team of this new city I was in.
"It was me and my cousin [at Game 5]. She's also from Minnesota, but she's a Wild fan. We got there a little bit after the game started, and we had seats in the 300-level basically at the blue line. When we first got there, everyone was super serious. It was pretty much the quietest sporting event I've ever been to. It was actually pretty eerie. People would get up and clap and then sit down very serious. Nobody was talking. Usually everyone is rambunctious, but everyone was completely focused on the game. You would have thought that it was the game that would determine the series. You wouldn't know the Blackhawks were up.
"I was looking for Minnesota fans, and I said to [my cousin] Anna, 'There's no way you can be the only Minnesota fan in this whole stadium.' The place was completely red. The only other color you could see was green, and it was from the Hawks St. Patrick's Day jerseys. When Minnesota got their first goal, there was one guy who stood up and clapped, and this is one reason I like to watch the Blackhawks: the fans are pretty cool. Everyone let him have his little moment, smiled, and then were like, 'OK, shut up.' From then on, it was pretty much in the bag. I felt so bad for that poor Minnesota goalie. You could just tell he was terrified. It was like watching a cat play with a poor, defenseless mouse.
Was there a point where Hawks fans really started to let loose as those goals piled up?
"Oh absolutely. As soon as we were up by three goals, you could just tell, because when we sat down, people weren't sitting back relaxed. People were sitting forward in their seats. There weren't a lot of people running back and forth to get beer. Everyone was sitting down to watch the game, getting their juju together to make sure the Hawks won.
"But after we had three goals, everyone started to cheer. The beer guys started coming out a lot more. The crowd lightened up a ton. It was funny. It was like everyone was stressed out when I got there.
"One thing that was interesting was that you could tell where the die-hard, real Blackhawks people are. I think they sit 300-level. I don't think one person left the 300-level seats until the game was completely wrapped up. They watched every single second. People didn't start leaving until it was done-done. But people down in the 100-level seats, they started to clear out pretty early. So that was pretty awesome.
What was the scene like after the game?
"Definitely a lot of energy. A lot of crazy people wearing mullets and mohawks. It kind of reminded me of when we won the Stanley Cup. I was at home. I watched the game on TV. I had my balcony doors open, and you could hear the whole city erupt when we won the Stanley Cup. It was kind of like that in the stadium. The buses back to the city ... everyone was rowdy and ready to go. You would have thought that was it, that they had just won the Cup.

Mayor Don Wesely today signed a proclamation declaring a year-long commemoration of the federal Fair Housing Law, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act. The Realtors Association of Lincoln has chosen the theme of "Many Neighborhoods -- One America" for the observance. Tomorrow, April 11, is the 33rd anniversary of the passage of the law.
"The cornerstone of this important law is fair housing opportunities for all citizens," said Mayor Wesely. "We must continue to work hard to educate our citizens about their rights and to prevent discrimination in this area."
A free Home Buyers' Fair has been scheduled in connection with the national observance of Fair Housing Month. The event is set for 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, April 21, at American Lutheran Church, 4200 Vine Street. Larry Williams, Executive Director of the Human Rights Commission, said the Fair is a follow-up to last fall's fair housing forums.
The Fair will include free credit report reviews, free home-buying classes and exhibits on financing and housing. Translators will be provided for those who speak Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic, Bosnian, ASL and Russian. The Fair is sponsored by the Human Rights Commission, the Urban Development Department and Century Sales and Management Company Residential Mortgage Services.
The Human Rights Commission today also announced the winners of its Fair Housing Poster and Essay Contests for middle school students. Winning the poster contest was Joanna Hoffman, Lakeview Elementary, who also placed second in the essay contest. Winning the essay contest was Alexander J. Lin of Lux Middle School, and third place went to Scout Richters, also from Lux.

Robbed the tour like an old-timey train – Movie poster LOC, 1896
As it was told to me by and industry insider
Another perspective, instead of an athletic morals failure story, is that the Lance Doping Era was the Great American Tour Heist. Stupid bike racers fooled everyone, stole Le Tour's Money, got rich, famous.
That's a movie I'd like to see, like the a train robbery or Oceans 11. Remember, these aren't Wall Street, Ivy League corporate raiders, math geeks in a casino, or dotcommers, but bike racers.
Some of the stupidest people you'll ever meet are bike racers and they made millions.

The offense sprang to life in the final 19 minutes but the Central College football team ran out of time in sustaining a 21-18 loss to Simpson College Saturday.
Trailing 14-0, quarterback Brendon Boerm (freshman, Traer, North Tama HS) got the Dutch on the board with a 2-yard keeper with 3:30 left in the third quarter, completing a 13-play, 75-yard drive.
But Simpson (4-1 overall, 2-0 Iowa Conference) answered just 45 seconds later with a 40-yard TD pass. A 30-yard Kevin Sheldon (sophomore, West Des Moines, Valley HS) field goal made it 21-10 and Ben Lechtenberg (senior, Manchester, West Delaware HS) hauled in an 18-yard scoring pass from Aaron Eiseler (sophomore, Mesa, Ariz., Red Mountain HS) with 4:19 remaining. Boerm hit running back Josh Osborn (sophomore, Burlington) with a pass for the 2-point conversion to pull the Dutch (2-3 overall, 1-1 conference) within three, but Simpson was able to run out the clock.
"Our offense played better in the second half," coach Jeff McMartin said. "We got some things going. We definitely saw glimpses of what we can do, which is encouraging. But it shouldn't take halftime to make that happen. We've got to come out of the gates ready to play."
The Dutch defense was the story in the first half. Simpson came into the game with the league's top passing attack and was averaging 428 yards per game total offense. But Central made two huge second-quarter stops. Cornerback Eric Larson (sophomore, Waverly, Waverly-Shell Rock HS) came up with an interception at the Dutch 2-yard line. On Simpson's next possession, the Storm had first down on the Central 1 and was turned away four straight times.
But two plays later, the Dutch fumbled at their own 8-yard line and on third down Simpson finally found the end zone with 1:35 left in the half.
"It's tough when that happens," McMartin said. "We hadn't gotten much going on offense but yet defensively we really fought and scrapped. That fumble is not what lost the game but it certainly didn't help. I'll keep saying it, you have to take care of the football and you can't have costly penalties if you want to win."
Simpson, which had been averaging just 60.8 yards rushing per game, ran the ball a surprising 39 times while passing just 28. Quarterback Taylor Nelson was especially effective, scrambling for 86 yards on 16 carries with one score.
"They did a nice job today," McMartin said. "They maybe felt they saw something they could have success with against us and they have a quarterback who can run the ball. That's a weapon; we know that from our own team."
Simpson finished with 152 yards rushing while Nelson completed 17 of 28 passes for 199 yards and one TD. The Storm outgained Central 351 yards to 311 and held a 21-19 edge in first downs.
Boerm went mos t of the way as Central's quarterback in his second career start. He completed seven of 14 passes for 98 yards on a chilly, windy afternoon. He also rushed nine times for 33 yards. Osborn was Central's top rusher with 86 yards on 17 carries.
Eiseler came off the bench in the fourth quarter and completed four of five passes for 68 yards and one TD.
"Both quarterbacks did some good things," McMartin said. "We went to more of a dropback pass attack late in the game with Aaron to try to stretch the field and get back in the game."
Lechtenberg had five catches for 86 yards.
Linebacker Mike Young (junior, Country Club Hills, Ill., Hillcrest HS) had nine tackles with one tackle for loss and two pass breakups. Carson also had nine stops while strong safety Jacob Tune (sophomore, Mesa, Ariz., Red Mountain HS) and defensive lineman Brody Janssen (sophomore, Quincy, Ill.) each had eight tackles.
Central travels to Storm Lake next Saturday for a 1 p.m. game with Buena Vista University. The Beavers are 0-5 overall and 0-2 in the league after suffering a 42-21 loss to Wartburg College Saturday.
"We have to keep getting better," McMartin said. "There are a lot of good teams in the league. We've got a game against Buena Vista we've got to get ready for. We'll try to learn from this one. There's a lot of football to be played yet this year and I believe we're capable of playing better than we did today."

Giving thanks to those who make a difference
Thanks to 74,026,895 fans who attended Major League Baseball games in 2013, making it the sixth-best single-season crowd total and ensuring that the 10 most-attended seasons have all come in the last decade. Here's to many more in 2014.
Thanks to the Red Sox for poetically bringing a World Series trophy to the Boylston Street finish line where such human suffering had occurred in April. Thanks to so many baseball fans who donated along the way in a "Boston Strong" campaign that raised large sums to help those most affected by the senseless Boston Marathon tragedy.

Thanks to the Red Sox for poetically bringing a World Series trophy to the Boylston Street finish line where such human suffering had occurred in April. Thanks to so many baseball fans who donated along the way in a "Boston Strong" campaign that raised large sums to help those most affected by the senseless Boston Marathon tragedy.
Thanks for a collective community effort throughout the 109th World Series, where each of the first four games were dedicated to key causes. Fans collaborated with MLB for a tangible impact to support Welcome Back Veterans; through public service including Habitat for Humanity efforts; youth initiatives like Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI gives underserved boys and girls around the world the chance to play baseball and softball) and Breaking Barriers; and Stand Up To Cancer.
Thursday is a day to give thanks, and that includes so many around this game who go above and beyond in their communities to make a difference in the lives of others. It was a year when much help was needed. For example, MLB collaborated with its fans to help greatest needs following disasters from explosions in Boston and Texas, Superstorm Sandy and the Philippines typhoon.
"Major League Baseball is thankful for the opportunity to enrich and assist communities, children, and families year-round and in times of need," said Tom Brasuell, MLB vice president of community affairs. "Through the leadership and vision of Commissioner Selig, Baseball has become an industry leader in corporate and social responsibility, and thanks to the support of the most generous fans, players, teams, corporate and non-profit partners in all of sports, we are able to make a real difference in the lives of others."
Thanks to so many families that cope with autism. In 2013, MLB teamed up with Autism Speaks, the world's leading autism science and advocacy organization, in a league-wide initiative to recognize Autism Awareness Month in April. All 30 clubs raised awareness for the disorder during one home game in April, or on another date during the regular season. Many of the MLB Autism Awareness games provided special opportunities and a safe, friendly environment for families and individuals affected by autism.
Thanks to the Dodgers Foundation, in partnership with Ralphs, Food 4 Less and Golden State Water Company, for hosting the ninth annual Community Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway on Nov. 21 at Dodger Stadium. Dodger alumni "Sweet" Lou Johnson, Bobby Castillo, Matt Luke and Al Downing were on hand to help distribute complimentary turkeys, fixings and reusable canvas bags to 2,100 preselected not-for-profit community organizations who in turn are distributing them to families in need.
Thanks to Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish -- not just for your artistry on the mound but also for your $42,000 donation to the Jackie Robinson Foundation to help fund college scholarships.
Thanks to Rachel and Sharon Robinson for forever championing Jackie's legacy, as a wife and daughter who also have helped so many. The movie "42" brought that message home to so many in 2013, especially the younger generation that must always know No. 42's impact.
And while we're on the subject of No. 42 ... thanks one more time to Mariano Rivera . On top of everything else, he helped the ALS Association Greater New York chapter raise more than $1 million at its annual Lou Gehrig Sports Awards dinner this month in New York.
Thanks to Mariners Care and its corporate partners who helped provide $1,362,784 in 2013 for a variety of charitable programs throughout the Northwest. Since 2000, Mariners Care has helped raise $14.8 million to benefit primarily youth-oriented community service programs. Another $1.2 million was raised during the June 15 All-Star Celebrity Softball Classic staged by the Mariners and United Way of King County, helping homeless youth.
"We take our responsibility to the community very seriously at the Seattle Mariners," said Mariners chairman and CEO Howard Lincoln. "I'm proud that Mariners Care, our corporate partners and our fans have helped make such a positive and lasting impact on our community."
Thanks to the Mets, who hosted All-Star Week and together with MLB committed more than $5 million to local and national community and charitable initiatives, leaving a lasting community legacy.
"When you see the final result, it's worth it," Mets director of community outreach Jill Knee said.
Thanks to Jim "Mudcat" Grant for closing out last week's MLB Players Alumni Association annual dinner by singing an unforgettable rendition of his childhood song "'A' - You're Adorable." Remember when he sang "What A Wonderful World" at Harmon Killebrew's memorial in 2011? Mudcat is a national treasure.
Thanks to the Tigers for their Strike Out Bullying Program, which won the 2013 Commissioner's Award for Philanthropic Excellence (CAPE).
Thanks to Indians ace Justin Masterson, whose journey to Mathare Valley in Nairobi, Kenya -- one of the largest slums in the country -- was a part of the "Feed Their Future" campaign that he and wife Meryl became involved with through the Bright Hope organization.
The goal of the "Feed Their Future" program was to raise $140,000. Masterson was thrilled to learn that the campaign raised more than $200,000, providing additional money to support school enrollment, grant scholarships for vocational colleges and help parents have enough funds for various needs.
Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen won the National League Most Valuable Player Award and helped the Pirates to their first postseason appearance in two decades. He also makes a pretty good role model. "Cutch" has been Habitat for Humanity's Greater Pittsburgh spokesman for two years, and he recently hosted a fundraiser at the Roberto Clemente Museum in Lawrenceville, Pa., that netted $90,000. And he has tried to show African-American youths what they can gain by giving baseball a try.
Thanks to the Yankees, Legends Hospitality and the Supportive Children's Advocacy Network (SCAN) for teaming up Wednesday night to host a Thanksgiving feast for about 200 local residents at SCAN-NY's Mullaly Recreation Center in the Bronx. Since 1977, SCAN provides at-risk families in the area with integrated family-focused programming, which uses a positive approach to harness self-esteem, initiative and the development of life skills.
This year, Cardinals Care distributed more than $220,000 to 125 local non-profit groups through its grant program. We saw plenty of them during the World Series, as the foundation collaborated with MLB on local programs, such as donating a Starlight Fun Center to Mercy Hospital's children's unit, and we thank them for what they do year-round, like so many club foundations.
Carlos Beltran led those Cardinals to the World Series, and we thank him for the humanitarian efforts that led him to receive the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevrolet. Thanks to all of the other 29 individual club Clemente Award winners, and as always, we thank the award's namesake for the inspiration he gave others to help.
Thanks to Anthony Bass, Brad Boxberger, Andrew Cashner, Robbie Erlin, Logan Forsythe, Luke Gregerson, Colt Hynes, Casey Kelly, Tommy Layne, Tyson Ross, Tim Stauffer, Will Venable, Nick Vincent and Joe Wieland -- Padres teammates who came out to help catcher Nick Hundley and his wife Amy host 90 members of a school for homeless kids go on a shopping spree at a local Target.
Thanks to Red Sox prospect Matt Barnes and other players and coaches who came Sunday to Newtown, Conn., for a free instructional clinic.
Thanks to the Twins for their upcoming eighth annual Holiday Week of Giving, on Dec. 17-21. Legends Rod Carew and Tony Oliva and 2013 All-Star Glen Perkins will join the front-office staff in events benefiting community causes.
"In these difficult times, and especially during the holiday season, what we do in the community has never been more important," said Bryan Donaldson, Twins senior director of community relations. "Throughout the past five years, the Week of Giving has connected volunteers from the Twins staff with many worthwhile organizations and thousands of families."
Thanks to more than 200 volunteers from the Rays, Citizens Alliance for Progress, organizers from KaBOOM! and residents of the Tarpon Springs, Fla., community, who joined forces Nov. 16 to build a new playground at Union Academy Family Center. The new playground's design was based on drawings created by children who participated in a Design Day event that took place two months earlier, and it will provide a safe place to play for more than 300 children in the Tarpon Springs community.
Thanks to all parties who are completing the latest Major League Baseball Urban Youth Academy, in the Roselawn section of Cincinnati. It will enable kids in an underserved community to play the game. Fundraising for the project by the Reds Community Fund turned a corner in 2013, helped by a $1.5 million contribution from MLB and Commissioner Bud Selig in January. Overall costs are expected to reach $7 million.
"The building should resemble our Spring Training facility, which is another great stroke by our ownership group," Reds Community Fund executive director Charley Frank said. "They want this facility to be a beacon, not only to Roselawn and Bond Hill, but to all over Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky."
For the eighth consecutive year, Royals associates from all departments of the organization joined a player in serving Thanksgiving meals to men and families at the City Union Mission in Kansas City. Pitcher Jeremy Guthrie was this year's player to attend, and he said, "Just to be able to share some time with them, joke around with them and take their minds off the worries they have in their lives right now, I think that's the biggest benefit. To come down here and make them smile and share a few moments together."
Thanks to Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, who hosted his first Chicago fundraiser in August, a "Cook Off for Cancer," featuring local chefs who presented their take on traditional ballpark food. It was a huge success as the Rizzo Family Foundation received more than $150,000 in donations.
Thanks to Rangers left-hander Derek Holland, who announced he is donating $10,000 each to the Children's Medical Center Dallas and Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth. The donations were made in conjunction with the Rangers Baseball Foundation.
Thanks to everyone throughout the MLB family and to those who fill the seats, for remembering those less fortunate and remembering Jackie Robinson's lasting words: "A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives."
