mjrweb needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 218 designs submitted by 45 freelance designers.
Bunch Buyer
Bunch Buyer is a website that allows wholesalers to register an account and list their products as part of a Bunch.
It's a little bit like eBay, but with a twist.
People wanting to purchase goods at a discount price as part of a"Bunch".
Also, the suppliers - the people wanting to sell their goods in bulk (a "Bunch").
We require a logo.
We have no existing branding so we are open to ideas on typography, colours and logo graphic.
The logo should be fresh and modern, and have some significance to the theme of the service i.e "Bunch" or "Group" of people.
The site is also in an "auction" format, so ideas around this are welcome.
Core Concept - Group of people - collectively buying a product to make a saving. (i.e If there is 10 people in a bunch, they each get 10% off the RRP)
We are based in UK.

Tax Freedom Day, the day by which Americans will have worked enough hours to be able to pay their taxes, lands on April 18 this year, according to the Tax Foundation's annual analysis. That means we will work about three and a half months to make good on a year's worth of federal, state, and local tax obligations — five days more than last year.
The breakeven day for taxpayers has been pushed back every year since 2009, but the tax burden is greater this year because of higher federal taxes. The last-minute tax legislation passed in January introduced a new top tax bracket of 39.6% for individuals earning more than $400,000, and some new taxes created by the Affordable Care Act also kicked in this year. Two of the five days being added this year are due to the expiration of the payroll tax cut, which increased payroll taxes by 2 percentage points to 6.2% of income this year. "This year is kind of unprecedented," says Elizabeth Malm, an economist with the Tax Foundation.
Ironically, the improvements in the job market are also to blame for the higher tax burden. The more money people earn through their jobs, the higher taxes they face on those earnings. "It's a blessing and a curse," says Malm. Indeed, Americans will pay more in taxes in 2013 than they will spend on food, clothing and housing combined, according to the foundation.
The bulk of workers' toil — 40 days — will go toward paying off federal, state and local income taxes. Payroll taxes will require another 24 days of work, according to the analysis. Then tag on an additional 15 days for sales and excise taxes, 12 days for property taxes and 9 days for corporate income taxes. The study also found that people will need to work longer, until May 9, to close the federal budget deficit, or pay for all federal spending this year.
This year's Tax Freedom Day is not as late as the worst ever nationwide: In 2000, Tax Freedom Day didn't come until May 1. But the tax burden today is much greater than it was back in 1900, when Americans only paid 5.9% income tax and had worked enough to pay off their taxes by Jan. 22.
Final tax bills can vary widely by state. Those in high-tax states like Connecticut will have to work until May 13 to pay their taxes; New Yorkers, until May 6; and those in New Jersey, until May 4. The burden is lowest in Mississippi and Louisiana.
It's still not clear how much, if at all, people are noticing higher taxes this year. But the fact that Americans will have to work longer to make good on their tax bills may not be welcome news in a tax season that got off to a late start and has been marked by refund delays and procrastination.

The hand is the instrument of the mind.
The constructive triangles are used to demonstrate that many plane geometric figures can be constructed from triangles.
Self Discovery • The Primary Program
Activities at the Primary level are focused on helping every child become an individual, while building a strong cognitive foundation. Escuela's four Primary classrooms for ages 3 to 6 provide a great variety of enticing materials and activities that encourage a child's enthusiasm for learning while developing academic skills, problem-solving strategies, concentration and coordination.
Building trust and confidence, learning to make good choices for oneself, taking care of each other and of the environment in a setting that encourages the development of a healthy social community; these are the lessons of this age. Music, movement and Spanish classes enhance the student's enjoyment of the world and provide avenues for self-expression and social interaction. Creativity flourishes in this atmosphere of acceptance and trust.
The Primary child's young brain is growing rapidly, and authentic Montessori environments are developed accordingly. The connection between the mind and body is key at this age. To this end, Escuela's Primary classrooms take strong advantage of sensorial materials to help each child become more independent, learn foundational academic principles and expand intellectually. Some of the Primary materials are targeted at developing brain response by honing the child's senses. For example, children engage with color tablets designed to refine sight through a series of lessons starting with the simplest work, matching, to more challenging lessons, such as games of gradation. By training their senses, children increase their ability to perceive while expanding their intellect.
Montessori's materials create a foundation for math, reading, writing, and vocabulary. While working with these materials, each child progresses not only in mastering subject matter, but also in being able to think critically about problems: how to perceive, make judgments, reason and make independent decisions.
"Help me to do it by myself" is the child's goal. An entire area of the classroom is devoted to "practical life" activities: preparing food, opening and closing fasteners from buttons to bows to buckles to velcro, washing tables, polishing silver. Children learn how to take care of themselves, and gain a sense of self-confidence and mastery in doing so.
Many materials in the classroom provide a physical introduction to the wider world. Puzzle maps allow the children to become familiar with the name and location of countries and continents of the world and of the states in our country. Collections of pictures and artifacts give a basic orientation to kinds of plants and animals, the cultures of the world, famous landmarks, cities, artworks and more. Children have the freedom to become deeply familiar with appealing, self-contained sets of knowledge that will aid future learning and make them aware citizens of the world.
During the Primary years, children are particularly sensitive to language, order, and the precision and sequence in which things occur. Capitalizing on these sensitivities, teachers continue to introduce a wide range of vocabulary and encourage classification of new words. It is within this realm of discovery that the children begin their exploration of reading and writing.
Lessons are introduced simply and concretely, following the child's interests, developmental readiness and ability. The multi-age setting allows children to observe older students and learn from them; it allows older students to confirm their understanding and abilities by becoming role models and peer teachers for their younger friends.

(CNN) -- With only a week to go before it takes effect, a federal judge Thursday heard arguments about Arizona's new immigration law and whether it violates the U.S. Constitution or is a legitimate response to insufficient federal enforcement.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton heard two requests for an injunction, one from the U.S. Justice Department and another separate lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union. She gave no indication on when she might rule.
Bolton's courtroom was packed during the two hearings and protesters chanted outside throughout the afternoon. Seven protesters against the law were arrested on civil disobedience charges, according to the National Day Laborer Organizing Network.
Thursday's arguments revolved around a range of issues, including racial profiling, effective enforcement and possible harm to Arizona's citizens.
Attorneys from the Obama administration were at the second hearing. The administration's challenge contends Arizona's law usurped federal supremacy on the matter.
Bolton asked federal lawyers why Arizona can't enforce immigration law to the full extent the U.S. government permits.
"Why can't Arizona be as inhospitable as they wish to people who have entered the United States illegally?" she said, according to the Associated Press.
Arizona has argued that the federal government has not done a good job of securing the border.
"A law unenforced is no law at all," said state attorney John Bouma.
The American Civil Liberties Union and a coalition of civil rights groups earlier in the day argued that the controversial law amounts to racial profiling and will have a profound effect if it goes into effect July 29.
"It treats people of color as suspects first, rather than (as) citizens," attorney Karen Tumlin said after the hearing.
Bouma said the law would not treat people unfairly.
"These are hypothetical arguments. Local police are enforcing immigration laws all over the country," he told Bolton.
The law, signed by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer in April, requires police to question people about their status if they have been detained for another reason and if there's reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally. It also targets those who hire illegal immigrant laborers or knowingly transport them. Bolton questioned lawyers on whether the law also could apply to employees.
Brewer attended the second hearing Thursday.
Those in favor of the law say SB 1070 is consistent with federal law. They say the law explicitly prohibits racial profiling and they are challenging the legal standing of many of the groups opposed.
They also contend opponents of the law have not been able to show there will be any harm from its implementation.
During the first hearing, Bolton said the law has a section allowing parts to still take effect even if other parts are struck down, according to CNN affiliate KNXV.
Tumlin, managing attorney for the National Immigration Law Center, and other lawyers and foes of the law repeated assertions that Arizona's law should be rejected.
"We are here to defend the rights of those who cannot stand up for themselves," said Terri Leon, CEO of the Friendly House, which supports the legal challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Bolton heard another legal challenge to SB 1070 last week, which was brought by an Arizona police officer. She has not made a ruling in that case.
The lawsuits are among seven that have been filed.
CNN's Casey Wian and Chuck Conder contributed to this report.

I am currently purchasing a range of poorly promoted niche websites which could do with a face lift, promoting them and then reselling them once they become profitable and established.
The phrase "pickled cabbage fish flavor" is a translation of a popular style of chinese noodles. I took a liking to this phrase and decided that it would be perfect for a new venture I am undertaking.
This logo will be used on a website targeted at entrepreneurs wishing to purchase already up and running niche websites. You can't get anymore niche than "pickled cabbage fish flavor"!
The successful logo will be one that is fun and eye catching which doesn't undermine the goal of the website.
What I am visualizing is something along the lines of a drunk (or pickled) fish. An example of the type of logo I thought was getting close to suitable can be seen in a recent submission:
I am not however limiting myself however so any creativeness which catches the essence of what I will be promoting will be welcome.

How Has Voting Changed?
For much of American history, voting qualifications were such that very few people actually had the power to vote. These qualifications have changed greatly since then to grant nearly all Americans this important democratic privilege. In the eighteenth century, the right to vote was reserved for wealthy white males over the age of 21 and in many cases, those that belonged to the accepted religion of their community. The reasoning was that these people were the only ones educated enough to make a wise decision—although women, the enslaved, and those without property certainly had a lot to say on the matters of the day. Today, through Constitutional Amendments, voting restrictions concerning gender, race, religious affiliation, and wealth have all been eliminated. The minimum age to vote is now 18. All voters must be citizens of the United States.
In this lesson, students will compare and contrast voting eligibility in the eighteenth century and today. They will also demonstrate and reflect on eighteenth century and twenty-first century voting procedures.
In this lesson, students:
- Compare and contrast voting eligibility in the eighteenth century and today.
- Participate in a voting exercise demonstrating differences in voting eligibility and procedures in the eighteenth century and today.
- Discuss whether changes in voting procedures from the eighteenth century to today have made elections more fair.
- Write a short reflection to demonstrate their understanding of changes of voting eligibility.
- Primary Source of the Month image and analysis: The County Election by George Caleb Bingham
- Modern-Day Voting Image (preferably one that shows people of different genders and races voting. Many news articles on voting contain images like this.)
- Voting Rights Comparison Chart
- Voter Eligibility Cards
Download Lesson Materials (PDF)
- Display George Caleb Bingham's The County Election and discuss the painting with the students, using the Primary Source of the Month analysis as a guide. Note that this is a nineteenth-century image, but it illustrates many of the problems with eighteenth-century style voting. Focus student attention on the following aspects:
- Only men are in line to vote.
- The voting is not private.
- The scene seems noisy and chaotic.
- The man in the top hat in the center of the painting is trying to convince a man in line to vote for a particular candidate. The men in top hats might even be the candidates themselves, who were allowed to watch and listen to the voting.
- In the bottom left corner, a man is drinking what is most likely alcohol. Sometimes candidates would "treat" voters by providing them with free food and beverages. One man may have had too much and is being carried by a friend.
- The man serving drinks is black. He is unable to vote.
- Voting day is a major community event.
- Voting is a now a secret and private responsibility.
- Voting takes place in quiet locations, and people aren't allowed to try to convince you to vote for one candidate or another in the polling place. The candidates are not at the polling place with you.
- Anyone who is over the age of 18 and a citizen can register to vote.
- The 15th Amendment eliminated race as a qualification for voting in 1870, after the Civil War.
- Women received the right to vote by passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
- The minimum age requirement was changed from 21 to 18 years of age in 1971 by the 26th Amendment.
In the space on the bottom of the Voter Comparison Chart, students should write a paragraph on their understanding of how voter eligibility has changed over the years. Collect the Charts for grading.
Lesson Extensions
1. Using the voting results, students create a bar graph demonstrating the yes and no votes for the eighteenth-century style and twenty-first century style votes. They can also graph the number of eligible voters as compare to the number of ineligible voters in a bar graph or pie chart.
2. Find out whether people convicted of a felony are allowed to vote in your state. Ask students if they think this policy is fair.
This lesson was written by Shawn Cunlisk, Vancouver, WA, and Bill Neer, Baldwinsville, NY.

A Walk in the Woods
by Mary Morton Cowan
Where I live, in the northeastern United States, more than 70 kinds of trees are native to our forests. Let's take a walk and identify a few common trees of the northeastern woods.
Beech trees of all ages have smooth, light-gray bark. Forest animals find beechnuts tasty.

You can recognize the sugar maple by the deep U-shaped notches on its large leaves. Its sap is collected every spring to make maple syrup.
Photography Credit: © imagebroker/Alamy.
Eastern white pines are the tallest evergreen trees in the Northeast: 100 feet tall or more. The branches are high, where they can get sunlight. As the tree grows, its lower branches die and fall off. Pine "leaves" are called needles, and they grow in clusters. White pines have five needles in each cluster. In Colonial times, many white pines were chopped down to make masts for sailing ships. Can you guess why?

Trees in the oak family are divided into two groups: white oaks and red oaks (strangely, red oaks are sometimes called black oaks). You can tell them apart by looking at their leaves: White-oak leaves have rounded tips. Red-oak leaves have pointed tips.

Can you guess why this tree is called a shagbark hickory? Underneath that shaggy bark is tough wood. Hickory was once used to make skis, wagon wheels, and tool handles.
Photography Credit: © Dr. Gilbert Twiest/Visuals Unlimited.
Each leaf of an ash tree is about a foot long. It is called a compound leaf, because it is made up of seven to nine leaflets, all on one stem. Ash wood is used to make baseball bats.
Photography Credit: © Eric and David Hosking/CORBIS.
The paper birch is sometimes called white or canoe birch. Its beautiful white bark grows in paper-thin layers. Woodland Indians stripped off large sheets to make canoes. Many birds peel off little strips for their nests.

Birch leaves turn a beautiful yellow in the fall.

There are many other trees to see. Discover some yourself the next time you go for a walk in the woods.
- leaflet: A small or young leaf.
- In this chapter, you will learn about the different parts of plants. What parts of the trees mentioned in this article do people use? What kinds of products do people make from the trees today and in the past? Write a few sentences explaining what people use and what they make.
[anno: Answers will vary but could include that we use the wood, bark, and sap from these trees. We use the wood to make baseball bats. In the past, people made masts and tools from the wood. We use the sap to make syrup. In the past, Indians used the bark to make canoes.]

This is the Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parcel it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
1st Gear: Travis Pastrana To Drive New Dodge Dart Rally Car In Global RallyCross Championship Series
Dodge and the SRT Motorsports brand announced that the all-new 2013 Dodge Dart rally car will be piloted by four-time Rally America Champion and 17-time X Games Gold Medalist Travis Pastrana in the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship (GRC) Series. The Dart rally car will be powered by a purpose-built, 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, 16-valve turbo-charged 600-horsepower engine mated to a Sedav 4-wheel drive gear box that puts out more than 550 lb.-ft. of torque. So, basically, everything we wish we could get in the production Dodge Dart.
2nd Gear: Porsche To Recall All 2012 911 Carrera S' For Potential Fiery Death!
Porsche Cars North America said it plans to recall 1,232 2012 911 Carrera S' for potential fuel leaks that could lead to a fire. Fire, as you know, could lead to fiery death! Porsche launched the 2012 911 Carrera in the United States on Feb. 4 — and the first report of fuel leakage was made on Feb. 10th — just six days later. Porsche said it will retrofit vehicles with a spacer ring to prevent contact with a coolant pipe. Porsche said it is not aware of any crashes or fires and will begin notifying customers next month.
3rd Gear: Volkswagen Will Plop Out A Smaller-Than-CC Four-Door "Coupe-Like" Sedan
Volkswagen plans to offer a new, smaller-than-CC four-door sedan with coupelike styling — according to what sources have told Automotive News. Positioned below the CC, this new four-seater will form part of the Jetta lineup in about 2015, joining successors to today's sedan and wagon models in an expanded three-model range. All will be produced in Puebla, Mexico. Internally, this new model is designated the SC, for "sport coupe."
4th Gear: GM To Build Cheap Version Of Volt Just For Europe
According to Autocar, Vauxhall will launch an entry-level version of the new Vauxhall Ampera range-extender electric car this summer. The as-yet unnamed entry-level model will join the Ampera Positiv and Electron models, which go on sale on May 1st. Well, maybe that means they'll be making a "budget" version of the Volt, it's Chevy kissin' cousin, too.
5th Gear: GM To Chop Ad Agencies To Save Billions
GM projects that consolidation of global marketing agencies from more than 100 to just a handful will save $2 billion over the next five years, a company spokesman said last week, confirming a figure that GM executives earlier had cited for Wall Street analysts. In coming days, Automotive News reminds us that GM is expected to name a few major agencies that will get nearly all Chevrolet's creative ad duties, as the automaker sheds most of the 70 or so companies that do Chevy work around the globe.
6th Gear: Arizona's Big B.J. Will Get A Permanent Horse Center
The big Barrett-Jackson auction will now have a permanent location to sell such amazing auctions as a fake JFK ambulance. The Scottsdale City Council has authorized a $40 million expansion of the Tony Nelssen Equestrian Center. The move will create new expanded opportunities for new and existing equestrian shows and serve as the permanent main auction arena for the giant friggin' tent they've ben using for years.

Today in Automotive History:
On this day in 2008, the Ford Motor Company announces the sale of its Jaguar and Land Rover divisions to the Tata Group, one of India's oldest and largest business conglomerates, for some $2.3 billion—less than half of what Ford originally paid for the brands. The sale came at a time when Ford, along with much of the rest of the auto industry, was experiencing a sales slump as a result of the global economic crisis. For Tata, which earlier that year had unveiled the Nano, the world's cheapest car, the purchase of the venerable British-based luxury brands was referred to by some observers as a "mass to class" acquisition.

If the "fun" has disappeared from the Neo Geo and its games, it CERTAINLY isn't SNK or Playmore's fault. It's the over-crazed fanbase that is trying so desperately to add some value to their shallow lives by adding unnecessary value to an item that is only intended to bring entertainment, not stature. Wake up and become part of the reconstruction... not the future demise.

Next time we have a BIG meet up I'll make a post about it here. MASS crew represent!
I could make it down to MASS no problem, just need to plan ahead. You guys got anything in the works?
Nothing planned at the moment. We're in the middle of restructuring the old group. Once we got something planned, I'll make a thread and post a link here.
MA can suck it! Lets do a meetup right here at home, go Burlington VT.
I am moving to south NH next month, so count me in for some action
Where in NH?
I will be living in Merrimack and working in Nashua, so about an hour north of Boston. I know Grave and a few members are from that area.
Cool man. I've been to Merrimack. Some people call it Ca$hua, some people call it Trashua, but Nashua is alright too.
I work out in Andover, live in a tiny place in Boston. Me and the GF are trying to find a permanent place now...so we'll see how that affects things. I'm a cabless individual though, not half as cool as EG.
If people are up to take a trip to the Cape I set up my Goldie at my friends game shop in Barnstable. It's a big shop with parking, but it would have to be a dry gathering... Just throwing it out there

Bill Lucas
BiographyBill Lucas spent close to 20 years with the Braves organization and became the highest-ranking African American in baseball history at age 40 on Sept. 19, 1976, after being named general manager by new owner, Ted Turner. Even though his job title was vice president of player personnel, he performed all of the general manager duties, as the Braves didn't have the title of "general manager" at the time. Lucas passed away at the age of 43 in May 1979, after two full seasons as general manager.
Lucas began his career with the Braves as a player in the farm system where he spent six seasons. After a knee injury ended his playing career in 1964, Lucas became public relations director for the Minor League Atlanta Crackers in 1965. In 1966, he was part of the Braves' transition team for their move from Milwaukee to Atlanta. In 1967 he was named assistant farm director and was eventually promoted to farm director before landing his final position as the Braves GM in 1976.
After spending six years playing in the organization's farm system, Lucas initially turned down the Braves' offer to join their front office. But after getting assurances that he wasn't being viewed as a token hire, he rejoined the organization in 1965 and worked in the sales and promotions department.
One of his first achievements came about while hiring employees for new Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. He saw to it that he hired one African-American stadium worker for every white worker. By doing this, he forced both races to communicate and work together toward a common goal.
After completing his tasks in the sales and promotions department, Lucas was given a job in the public relations department in 1966 and was then promoted to assistant farm director in 1967.
Lucas became the farm director in 1972, and over the next five years, he ran the team's Minor League operation. During that time, he oversaw the development of many young players, like Ralph Garr and Dale Murphy.

Munters and Summit Helping Footballers of All Ages
Many football teams have to train out in the open air in all conditions and, typically, our English winters are not conducive to achieving the top quality training required by professional footballers.
Summit Structures, the leading supplier of steel-framed tension-membrane buildings, worked very closely with humidity experts Munters to provide a permanent structure to house an indoor training facility.
The buildings supplied by Summit Structures are rated as 500% more airtight than conventional structures so controlling Relative Humidity (RH) levels required advanced preparation. A properly designed dehumidification system can prevent the excessive build up of RH which occurs during peak activity levels such as sporting events. Installation of a Munters dehumidifier ensures that the relative humidity of the air inside the structure can be maintained at a constant level and eliminates problems that occur without proper management.
The benefits seen by using Summit Structures are: moisture free floors, a comfortable environment for players and spectators, reduced energy costs and reduced maintenance costs.
[H]The Munters process – how it works [/H]
All Munters' sorption dehumidifiers are equipped with drying wheels, called rotors. The rotor contains small air ducts with a very large contact surface and is treated with a substance, such as silica gel, that easily absorbs moisture.
The running and maintenance of the dehumidifier is very cost effective so capital and operating costs are low.

Hi Everyone,
Let me share these steps regarding how to recover a missing pool_id file from source container in a Vob.
On the example below we have:
Vob tag: /vobs/john-vob3
Vob Storage Path: /vobstore/john-vob3.vbs
#### Index ########
I - Symthom
II - Verify if you have remote pools.
III - Recreating the file.
I - Symthom
By running a "cleatool protectvob", for instance, you get a message telling s/sdft/pool_id is missing:
cleartool protectvob -chown john -chgrp abc /vobstore/john-vob3.vbs
This command affects the protection on your versioned object base.
While this command is running, access to the VOB will be limited.
If you have remote pools, you will have to run this command remotely.
cleartool: Warning: Versioned object base owner is already "john".
cleartool: Warning: Versioned object base group is already "abc".
Pool "sdft" appears to be protected correctly.
Pool "ddft" appears to be protected correctly.
Pool "cdft" appears to be protected correctly.
Protect versioned object base "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs"? [no] yes
Do you wish to protect the pools that appear not to need protection? [no] yes
Protecting "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/db/logs"...
Protecting "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/db"...
Protecting "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/admin/vob_space"...
Protecting "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/admin/do_space"...
Protecting "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/admin"...
Protecting "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/s/sdft/42/3b"...
Protecting "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/s/sdft/42"...
Protecting "/vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/s/sdft"...
cleartool: Error: unable to access file /vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/s/sdft/pool_id: No such
file or directory
cleartool: Error: Trouble protecting versioned object base "/vobs/john-vob3".
II - Verify if you have remote pools.
1) You must be sure you are not running on NOT accessible remote pools, so look for symbolic links on the Related Vob Store:
cd <vob-store>
find . -type l -exec ls -l {} \;
1.1) If you have empty results that means you have NO remote pools, so you can go ahead to item III below.
cd /vobstore/john-vob3.vbs/
find . -type l -exec ls -l {} \;
Note: On my example I have empty results.
1.2) In other hand if you have symbolic links, that means you have remote pools.
For instance:
cd /vobstg/libpub.vbs
find . -type l -exec ls -l {} \;
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 12 Dec 30 1999
d/ddft_2 ->/net/vobsvr5/pools/libpub/d/ddft_2
On this case DON'T go to item III. Instead stop here and verify what is going wrong with the Network Share that provides the remote pools.
III - Recreating the file.
NOTE: Is NOT necessary to lock the vob to restore that file (on source container).
If you are sure you have NO remote pools (see item 1.1 above), in order to restore the pool_id inside the source container you should do:
1.1) Get the details necessary on pool_id file, i.e:
poolkind=s # We already know is the "s".
pool_oid= # We will get i by running "cleartool dump pool:sdft inside a view context and inside the Vob.
replica_uuid= # We will get it from the replica_uuid file in the vbs.
vob_oid= # We will get it from the vob_oid file in the vbs.
1.1.1) Geeting pool_oid
cleartool setview john-dyn-view
Note: If the vob is NOT mounted, mount it.
cd /vobs/john-vob3
cleartool dump pool:sdft |grep oid
oid=3ee0f993.dcd511e2.9399.00:50:56:98:72:93 dbid=33 (0x21)
So the pool_oid is 3ee0f993.dcd511e2.9399.00:50:56:98:72:93
1.1.2) Getting replica_uuid.
cd /vobstore/john-vob3.vbs
cat replica_uuid
1.1.3) Getting vob_oid
cd /vobstore/john-vob3.vbs # Probably you stil there after after 1.1.2 item above.
cat vob_oid
1.2) Creating the pool_id file
As Vob owner:

Day of silence
The Day of Silence is a day of "awareness" which has been pushed into many schools across the United States of America by a minority of students and external forces. The Day of Silence is an attempt to create acceptance of homosexual and other immoral lifestyles. It is sponsored by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
According to the manual on the official website, the Day of Silence is:
Founded in 1996 by students at the University of Virginia, and currently officially sponsored in
K-12 schools by GLSEN, the Day of Silence is the largest student-led action to protest the bullying and harassment of LGBT people and their allies ever. Participants take a day long vow of silence and distribute or wear speaking cards with information about anti-LGBT bias and ways for students and others to "end the silence." Through Breaking the Silence events, students can speak out against harassment and demand change for their schools andcommunities."[1]
Objections have been raised against this day of "awareness" of homosexuals as a not-so-covert attempt to paint homosexuals as "unjustly persecuted" and as helpless victims of the lifestyle that supporters of homosexuality claim they "did not choose". Having moments set aside in schools to observe this Day of Silence means that all students are effectively forced to accept the purpose of the day and to pay respects to lifestyles they may find immoral. It is a false distinction that students who object or whose parents object can simply "opt-out" by leaving the room during observances; by having their educational time allocated to something else, these students are effectively yielding the remembrance which the Day of Silence solicits. The Day of Silence is a prime example of the homosexual agenda forcing itself upon conservatives under the guise of "fairness and acceptance" in pubic schools. Although some schools may have mandatory observances, at others the day is merely marked by the silence of certain students. Most students who choose to observe the Day of Silence will have a written note of some kind to hand to instructors explaining why they are choosing to remain silent on that day.

Erastus Clapp (1771-1851) was a lifelong resident of Deerfield, Massachusetts; from 1809 on, he lived in the Mill River district of the town. Like all able-bodied men, he was required to register and appear for the yearly muster drill, which was retained in the United States until the Civil War. Militia units, unlike the armies of today, were intended to fight only within the immediate area in which it was raised. This "disenrollment" was issued during the War of 1812, a conflict that was very unpopular in New England because the region was barely touched by the war. Massachusetts did not mobilize its militia until the summer of 1814. Although there may have been political reasons for Clapp to want out of the militia in the summer of 1813, he was forty-two years old, rather old for military service, and had aching joints.

Does the dough hook touch the bowl on your mixer?
I recently got the metal bowl for the bosch compact. I noticed that the dough hook can sometimes hit the bowl. This happens when the bowl is going to park or when on mode 3 and 4. It also happens when some dough gets stuck on the side of the bowl.
At first I thought it was just the metal bowl. Possibly a defect. It not being machined properly. I then decided to use the plastic bowl to see if it touched. It actually does. It's just a lot less visible because the metal hook rubbing the plastic makes a lot less noise than the metal dough hook touching the metal bowl.
I originally got the metal bowl because I guess the hook scrapped the bottom of the plastic bowl and caused a bubbled under it. Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this with their mixer of any type?

|Tuesday, February 19th, 2019
Nestled in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, is a wide scenic valley where the sun rises and sets over the tree-topped mountains, and the cool clear streams flow gently down the ridges. Andrews is a small town virtually untouched by large city influences and remains a place to enjoy a more leisurely pace of life.
Come by and sit a spell and imagine yourself hiking or trout fishing. Take a ride on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad or gear up for the annual WNC Wagon Train. Stroll down Main Street and shop for antiques,clothing, furniture and unique gifts. You may decide to go horseback riding in the Nantahala Forest or whitewater rafting down the Nantahala River. Or ride your motorcycles on the Tail of the Dragon a short distant away. We will show you a good time!
This is the place to lay back, kick off your shoes, wade in the creeks, jump in the river, sing, dance, and enjoy the hospitality of the mountain people. Andrews...the little town with the big heart.

Today we continue our Green Gift Guide with clever suggestions for the woman in your life: green versions of a girl's favorite gifts including chocolate, fuzzy sweaters, and jewelry. Indulge your girlfriend, mother, sister, or best friend this holiday season….
This versatile, glitzy yet practical handbag is made from over 700 aluminum pull-tabs from soda cans. The Socorro purse by Escama is a great example of turning everyday objects into clever design. Hand-crocheted and lightweight, it features a zipper closure, nylon lining, and an inside zip pocket. Making it even more green, the bags are produced by cooperatives of Brazilian craftswomen, and are individually signed by the artist who made it. A great gift for your eco-friendly yet always stylish girl friend.
The bold and stylish O-U Ring by Studio 1a.m. is made from deconstructed shampoo bottles, encapsulated in polycarbonate, aluminum, and rubber. Different parts of bottles mean no two rings are alike! Also available as a pendant necklace.
3Form Ecoresin Bracelets – $5
Here's the perfect gift for the archilady in your life (and we know there are a lot of you out there amongst our readers). Any designer who is into sustainable interiors is familiar with 3Form, the company that makes beautiful sustainable resin.
Now, in what we can only describe as a brilliant interdisciplinary move, 3Form has branched out into sustainable jewelry. These lovely ecoresin bracelets are only $5 a piece, and every purchase helps the environment, because 3Form donates 10% of proceeds to the Rocky Mountain Institute.
PERFECT ORGANIC BATH AND BODY- $10 and up
What girl doesn't love super-soft, shea buttered skin? There are tons of organic bath and body lines out there, but we love Perfect Organics for their purity of product, design, and packaging. Their mission is simple: "to create wholesome organic products unrivaled in perfection, purity and effectiveness." Their 100% pure and natural lip balms, lotions, and body washes are just the thing for your mother or sister. Try the Shea Butter, with ingredients extracted and clarified naturally, without the use of hexane/solvents or other chemicals.

LOOOLO SCARVES- $150 and up
These beautifully knit scarves are not only warm and gorgeous, they're organic, biodegradable, and compostable. Designed by Joanna Notkin of Canadian company Looolo, the soft and snuggly accessories are made from Organic wool, ramie (in the linen family), viscose and zero impact dyes. The perfect winter gift for your always-cold girlfriend or grandmother.
Street Sign Bracelets- $24

GREEN DIAMONDS & ECO-FRIENDLY JEWELRY – $200 and up
Everyone knows diamonds are a girl's best friend, but now you can buy the exquisite gems with a clean conscience. Brilliant Earth is the leading supplier of certified conflict-free diamonds from Canada, and also donates 5% of all its profits to Diamonds for Africa, a non-profit that directly benefits local African communities harmed by the diamond industry.
An even better choice in our opinion is to go for "cultured" diamonds and completely bypass the mining thing altogether. Greenkarat is the first stop for completely sustainable fine jewelry, and uses cultured diamonds, rubies and saphires instead of mined ones, and 100% recycled platinum and gold in their jewelry. They even do custom orders!
+ $550 and up from Brilliant Earth
+ $200 and up from GreenKarat
Verē CHOCOLATE- Gift Boxes starting at $20
If diamonds are a girl's best friend, chocolate is a close second. Verē chocolates are made from the best, sustainably grown, pesticide-free cocoa beans, and "handmade" Verē's own state-of-the-art Manhattan factory. Most of the truffles, brownies, and bars are organic, gluten-free, and vegan, not to mention ridiculously delicious.


text: Alice Boutin, Father Dan Riley, Pat Robins and<br/>Mark Shields receive honorary degrees at commencement News Home 05.13.13 By: Buff Lindau At the Saint Michael's 106th Commencement exercises on May 12, 4 earned honorary doctoral degrees, in addition to some 470 students earning bachelor's degrees and 47 earning master's degrees. The honorary degree recipients were lauded with citations, excerpts from which follow: "Mark Shields of Washington, DC, our commencement speaker, is a powerful and effective political commentator, whose caring heart shapes his analyses. What makes him unique among the political analysts of our time is that his insight is most always laced with humor. The Wall Street Journal has called him, "frequently the most trenchant, fair-minded, and thoughtful" political analyst around, and the wittiest… Night after night on the PBS Newshour, often in debate with David Brooks, Mark Shields brings well-researched insights into the political scene along with compassion and rare wit… Using humor and heart, Mark Shields has spent a lifetime writing columns that resonate, that get shared and quoted, and that bring light to government policy…" "Pat Robins of Burlington, VT, is an example, par excellence, of the concept of civic engagement. He is a model of what this College hopes students will achieve. As president of the long-time local firm, McAuliffe's, he grew that company into the major business technology firm, Symquest, employing hundreds of people at locations throughout New England today...While bringing his business to peak productivity, Pat Robins also served his community. His commitment to Burlington was made visible as he brought the Church Street Marketplace into a thriving reality. Atop the business strength of Burlington, Pat Robins guaranteed the aesthetic health of the community by working to build Burlington City Arts into a powerful engine for creativity, and by championing and guiding the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts..." "Alice Boutin now of Laconia, NH, the first "First Lady of Saint Michael's College," set a standard that inspired those who followed her. Wife of Saint Michael's first lay president, Bernard Boutin, Alice Boutin was a surprise presence on the all-male campus...Bernard and Alice made a practice of having four or five professors at a time to dinner at their home...at Fort Ethan Allen on the North Campus... Alice Boutin's remarks got to the heart of matters with the right combination of humility and grace...She wanted to make campus-wide relations much warmer and more congenial in a turbulent period of the early 1970s. She succeeded...In these years President Boutin led Saint Michael's from an all-male institution into the college for men and women that it is today...Alice Boutin quietly lent her voice to these necessary changes." "Father Dan Riley, founding member of Mt. Irenaeus, Franciscan Mountain Retreat, of West Clarksville, NY has lived both his life and his ministry in ways that have touched many, reaching out to not only the faithful seeking the word of God, but also those disenfranchised from the church, as well as those longing to deepen their faith and enrich their lives...Father Dan has spent a lifetime nurturing the spiritual health of all he encounters from his base at Mount Irenaeus... A man of tremendous warmth and humility, he has touched thousands during his mission and his ministry of nearly 50 years. In the mid-1980s a group of friars, took bold steps in founding a unique way of life based upon the Franciscan principals of peace, justice, collaboration, environmental stewardship, and prayerful re-creation. Thus "began anew" a community harkening back to the roots of early Christians on 400 remote acres of land in western New York... Twenty-five years after its founding, Mt. Irenaeus continues to host visitors of all faiths, offering a quiet, natural setting and contemplative atmosphere that encourages people to develop their spirituality, or simply to get away from the stresses of daily life for a little while."

Beast mode: AL East setting up for wild ride
Baseball's best division thus far is also its most competitive. The American League East has lived up to preseason expectations, with all five teams in the hunt and four of them over .500.
Over the coming weekend, the race could get a little shakeup. The division-leading Red Sox are visiting Detroit, but the real noise will come elsewhere. The other four AL East teams face each other with the chance either to muddle or clarify the chase for the division title.
Baseball's best division thus far is also its most competitive. The American League East has lived up to preseason expectations, with all five teams in the hunt and four of them over .500.
Over the coming weekend, the race could get a little shakeup. The division-leading Red Sox are visiting Detroit, but the real noise will come elsewhere. The other four AL East teams face each other with the chance either to muddle or clarify the chase for the division title.
No other division is as close from top to bottom, with the five teams separated by seven games. And whereas the National League West is nearly as competitive, it sports a negative run differential and an overall losing record, the AL East has been close and really, really good.
The five East teams have a combined record 32 games over .500, the best of any division in the Majors. The division's plus-107 run differential is the second-best, behind the NL Central.
They're tightly packed because they're all good ballclubs. Yes, even the Blue Jays, who struggled so mightily early in the year. Toronto is back within a game of break-even, and is getting healthy.
MLB.com decided to take stock of this intriguing division as the big weekend approaches.
Red Sox: They lead the Majors in runs, and if you're looking for one reason for success, it's that reconfigured lineup. It's deep and dangerous, with six players who have at least 100 at-bats and an 800 or better OPS.
The bullpen has been shaky at times, but there are plenty of quality arms, and in the end they should be fine. If there's a worry, it's the rotation, which has fallen to earth a bit after a hot start.
Clay Buchholz has dealt with some nagging injuries this year, and Jon Lester has slumped badly over the past month. John Lackey is doing excellent work, but he's one of only two Sox starters with an ERA under 4.00.
Prognosis: Definitely the favorite, given their lead and by far the greatest run differential. But far, far from a lock.
Orioles: Last year, there was a bit of a "how are they doing this?" vibe around Baltimore. This year it's a bit simpler: like the Red Sox, this team can rake. Baltimore ranks second in the AL in runs, first in homers, and first in slugging percentage.
They're also 14th in ERA. The bullpen is solid once again, the manager is one of the best in the business, and they're a rather good defensive team. But about that starting rotation ...
The good news is they have a lot of options to cycle through. The bad news is there's not really a star in the bunch. They need quality, and they need innings, or else that bullpen could get worn out and that offense could go to waste. Still, this team is probably stronger top to bottom than last year's O's.
Prognosis: They could really use a starting pitcher. If they get one, watch out.
Yankees: In third place and falling, New York needs to get healthy fast. The Yankees were 25-14 on May 14, and they're 14-18 since, as their makeshift offense has begun to be exposed.
The bullpen has been as good as advertised, and the rotation isn't bad. But the longer the Yankees go with a less-than-full-strength offense, the more they need their starting five to be more than "not bad." CC Sabathia needs to pitch like an ace, and Phil Hughes needs to be "good Phil" more often in order for this team to make the postseason.
The reports on Alex Rodriguez are encouraging, but many of the other wounded Yankees seem to be in a sort of limbo, with great uncertainty about when they can play again. It's a tribute to this team that it's hung in like it has, but it seems it needs reinforcements.
Prognosis: It's tough to bet against them, because many a Yankees team has been written off before. But if there's one team out of these five that seems most likely to trend down instead of up in the second half, it's New York.
Rays: In fourth place and climbing, the Rays have a plus-18 run differential and they've pulled within 1 1/2 of the Yankees. And they've done it without the reigning Cy Young winner -- who by the way will be back soon.
Tampa Bay's trajectory these days is decidedly upward. The club just added Wil Myers, one of the game's top hitting prospects, to an offense that was already better than it gets credit for being. The Rays are fourth in the AL in runs.
When they add David Price back to the pitching staff, their rotation will look a lot more like it's supposed to. And Price is making his first rehab start on Friday.
Prognosis: They have a little bit of a hill to climb, but it keeps getting smaller. And their roster is getting better. The Rays are very much a threat.
Blue Jays: Don't look now, but this is, in fact, a five-team race. The Blue Jays' eight-game winning streak has vaulted them back into the mix, and like Tampa Bay, their roster is getting better.
Jose Reyes has begun a rehabilitation assignment, and the Blue Jays miss him dearly on offense and defense. They also seem to have found the real Josh Johnson, with the big right-hander dealing in recent starts. That's two critical pieces of their offseason makeover who are becoming a part of the 2013 push to win.
Toronto has been middle of the pack in both scoring and preventing runs, but in both cases, it's likely to climb the ladder. The Blue Jays won't stay this hot, but they've made it interesting.
Prognosis: The hole is deep. They have quite a few games to make up and quite a few teams to pass. But there's a reason everyone liked them in the preseason. There's a lot of talent here. They're unlikely to stay in last, at least.

Round 8
Imperials - Scratch
Cales coldly starts chopping up Marnix's corpse. Out of spite, or maybe out of fear of it rising again?
"Here is your leader, Bulls! Witness the fate that will soon befall your entire nation!"
Cales slams his halberd down, and the debris covering the field starts to crumble, allowing the cavalry more space to move.
The corpses get to stay. After all, they don't take up so much space.
The ribault opens fire, gunning down a crossbowman.
The elites never stood a chance as they got charged down by Cales' heavy cavalry.
Another crossbowman is speared, despite one of his assailants managing to critically impale himself on his own spear.
Imperials soldiers try to pull the sakers away from the avatar.
The final elite stands his ground against a multitude of attackers.
Until Cales blindsides and decapitates him.
More imperials advance through the center, towards the last pocket of Bull resistance.
After another (fruitless) volley, the Starcapes and steam tank back away.
Bulls - Warhead
The avatar charges over the river...
His attempt to grab somehow fails.
With a swipe, he sends the sakers skidding away, though it was not powerful enough to destroy them.
The Bulls loose another volley, sending the imperial swordsman that was with Cales to the grave.
The icons band together and create a nightmare. (I couldn't carry out your orders for the icons because of what happened in the Imperials' turn, so I improvised a little).
"Go brother, and warn the king of this treachery! We will buy you as much time as you can!"
The icons press forward, brandishing their axes, unafraid of the prospect of death.
