LEGO Mindstorms
I've always loved robots. Ever since I was a kid, I thought they were just the coolest thing. It should be quite telling when my favorite characters in fiction are robots (or androids, even, but that's splitting hairs at this point).
My earliest "robot" toys, aside from action figures, were a motorized Tyrannosaurus Rex and a hornet. The hornet in particular has been something of a companion of mine in the years since; I even named it "James". Although in the last several years, it's fallen into disrepair; pieces of it are missing, some legs came off, and the electronics no longer function. It was a pretty cheap toy anyway, though; all it ever did was make a "buzzing" noise, slightly move its wings (which came off regularly at the time; I no longer have them) and move forward very slowly while lighting up with red eyes. Today it sits in a glass cabinet at the end of a hallway in my house.
Around... I want to say 2006, but it might have been a couple of years later, I eventually received a LEGO Mindstorms NXT robotics kit. I forget if it was a birthday gift or a Christmas one. Either way, I was overjoyed. Finally, a means to construct my own robots! I even began brainstorming a damn Mars mission based around the things! Of course, I didn't know then what I know now; that would never work in practice. There are reasons NASA doesn't use any LEGO Mindstorms platform in their work. Still, to this day, I fantasize about it, though with EV3 robots instead of NXT ones.
I wasn't particularly great at building my own robots, though, or even programming them, for that matter. I lacked the understanding required to truly make a LEGO robot that was worth showing off in any capacity. The sample robots at the time weren't particularly helpful in demonstrating most of the core concepts of Mindstorms construction. Mindstorms NXT also happened to be my very first LEGO Technic set. Sure, it's not a Technic set in an official capacity, but the elements they use are mostly identical, to the point that the skills required to build your own constructs from one of these LEGO toylines is extremely useful in the other. As the closest thing to a Technic set I've built at the time were BIONICLE action figures, I really wasn't equipped for this. The programming side of the matter only made matters worse; I had no idea what the hell I was doing, so I could only really come up with the most basic of programs, even with a programming language as relatively simple as that of NXT-G.
Fast forward to... I think it was my birthday in 2016. I received a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 kit, the one I use today. Of course, I was once again quite happy. I didn't know what I was doing with this one either, but I like to think I learned from my NXT years a bit. Besides, the sample robots did a significantly better job of demonstrating the concepts of Technic construction – especially since there were more of them this time around, 4 of which were actually provided by the software internally, and the rest were made by prominent members of the Mindstorms community. Early on, I didn't get much use out of this one; unfortunately, I was just too busy to concentrate on any sort of brainstorming, let alone actually building a robot of my own instead of using someone else's building instructions and associated programs. Speaking of programs, I bought a book that aims to teach how the LEGO Mindstorms EV3 programming environment actually works, which is quite a step up from where I was when working with NXT-G over a decade ago. So I think I'm better equipped to work with Mindstorms now than I was when I was younger. We shall see.
I'm currently attempting to design an automated aluminum can compactor. I've looked to see if it's been done before on Google, and it has... but they don't seem to work so well. Either they aren't strong enough to crush the can, or the frame of the robot can't hold itself together while trying to crush the can. Even one I saw that used obviously non-LEGO pneumatics couldn't reliably crush the cans to my satisfaction. I think I can do better.
I have a wall-mounted can compactor that I can operate by hand. I want to build this automated one based on similar principles to that one. The reason being that the wall-mounted one is mounted in a place where I could easily wake people up at night if I decide to have a soda or something and I'm still wide awake, which actually happens often. So I'm building this one to crush cans I want to dispose of without waking people up. That other compactor is fucking loud.
The biggest challenges I'll be facing are the structural integrity of the robot – either due to the strength of the plastic of the LEGO pieces themselves or by the strength of my build on its own merits. I'm feeling pretty confident about the pieces' integrity, though, but just in case, I'm gonna make use of some of my older NXT building elements; I find them to be significantly more expendable than my newer EV3 elements – and how much force my motors can exert given optimal conditions. I intend to use my old NXT motors alongside my other EV3 electronics instead of the EV3 large motors. According to this comparison between various LEGO motors, including the NXT motors and both EV3 motor sizes, the NXT motors have better torque than EV3 large motors (and all other LEGO motors available, for that matter), and since torque is what I'll need, I'll have to defer to my old motors instead of my newer ones. To maximize the torque, I will construct some worm gear assemblies, which I'm hoping will get me at least the 250lbs of force needed to crush the can, even if it will be done very, very slowly.
Of course, there are several design challenges ahead of me; first and foremost, I need to work out exactly how I'm going to build that worm gear assembly I need. I need to gear it up like crazy, so I'll need to figure out how to mesh a worm gear and a 40-tooth gear. Most worm gear assemblies I've seen use smaller 24-tooth gears, but I don't think a 1:24 gear ratio will provide the torque I require. Once I work that out, I'm going to move on to the actual structure of the compactor itself. The machine will also have to know when to stop crushing and reverse; to that end, I will mount touch sensors at the top and bottom of the rails the thing doing the actual compacting will be moving along.
Once I overcome all the design challenges and actually construct the machine, programming it will be extremely straightforward. It's a relatively simple device, all I would need to do is make the motors keep spinning until the bottom touch sensor is pressed, then make them spin the other way and stop when the top touch sensor is pressed. All at the push of a button. So easy, the Akamia of 11 years ago could do it!
Designing the machine will truly be the most difficult part of this process. I'm planning my build in LEGO Digital Designer as I write this; I don't know how to operate LeoCAD, LDraw, or other such applications, but I suspect LDD will be sufficient for my needs. If anyone has any recommendations for build techniques, I'd love to read them!
Also, if anyone else here has worked with the LEGO Mindstorms toyline, either in school or at home, I'd love to read your stories!
The very thing that gives us humans our advanced cognitive abilities can also be our greatest weakness.

Re: LEGO Mindstorms
After getting stumped with my worm gear assembly, I found one that might serve me well here. I don't know if they were the first to come up with it or not, but Koren of the ResetEra forum had a 1:40 assembly.
So now that my worm gear woes are over, I can start making progress.

Last week I got the Argos catalogue and I was flipping through and taking some notes about some things I need to buy, When I went back to see all the staff that I wanted I realised that everything was green, orange, purple, and all the other colours. I admit it I love colours and I sometime overdo it.. grateful to have my boyfriend not letting me buy all those colours otherwise my flat would probably look like a rainbow:) As I think colours can change everyones mood, here are some tips on how to add colour, but not making your house/flat a rainbow!
|Created By: Charalamposge
As life can be really stressful when it comes to waking up in the morning, going to work, cooking, cleaning, relaxing, actually everything that you do on a daily basis. Lots of people think that by changing homes, or by having a great work will make them happy. I doubt that! It really does not matter if you have a big or a small house, or if you have a great job or not, if you live alone or with a partner or with a room-mate it is all about the special little things you have in each room that can make your life happier. You do not have to pay large amounts of money in order to make your house/flat look pretty and welcoming. Colours especially in little decorations can actually make the simple things look really amazing. So... imagine that you have a friend who actually bought a new house one month ago and you are going to visit them. When you enter his or her house everything is dull, no colours, no decoration; neither small nor big. How will that make you feel? If I were you, I would actually feel stressed out, kind of sad, uncomfortable and that something is missing. I would wonder how come she did not notice that, when it is her house. Truth is that nobody will understand that if it is their own house but if it is someone else's they would. So here are my colour tips:
Start with the living room and bedroom. Most people spend hours on both these rooms. Try and make the best of them. Here are some things you could buy:
|Argos - £4.99
Cushions: Cushions can make sitting on the couch not only more relaxing but also more pleasant. There are so many different colours, types or sizes of cushions to choose from. I would probably add one or two bright coloured ones and two lighter ones. If you are more chill-out type, then you can simply add some large cushions on the floor for sitting. I would recommend that they should be coloured too. In your bedroom you can easily add some cushions on your bed, which will make it, look warmer and your bed can be easily transformed into a couch, which is a good idea for a kid's bedroom. You do not have to put extra chairs when their friends are around; the only thing you have to do is to buy cushions.
|Argos - £11.99
Lamp: Some years ago lamps were only used for light purposes and surely not for decoration. Nowadays there so many different types, heights, shapes of them that they can be easily used as decoration too. There are the floor lamps which can perfectly fit in every living room, no matter what type of person you are, they can be both classic and modern. Try to turn on that lamp at night instead of the normal lights and I am sure you will see a huge difference in the way your living room looks like. You can add a nice table lamp on your desk in your bedroom and make your studying more pleasant. Also if you have little kids a small lamp will make them feel safer at night, you can easily find different types and shapes in the market full off Disney characters that kids love, but you can also find ones that work with batteries for saving purposes. It does not matter where they will be placed or how big they will be. The only thing that matters is that they will give life to your rooms.
|Argos - £7.49
Paintings or Photographs: You will be amazed how a painting/photograph can change your morning and how easily it can put a smile on your face. Paintings can make you dream, bring back memories from places or countries you've visited before or just remind you of your special ones. They can be large or small, placed on the wall or tables or shelves. Put them in a place that they will be easily seen when sitting on the couch, studying on your desk or lying on the bed. For a kids or teenagers bedroom cork-board is a must, they can add photographs, notes or whatever they like.
|Argos - £14.99
Carpet: By adding a carpet let's say a red, you will certainly give a splash of colour in your living room. It can be just one colour or a combination of different colours, but try not to overdo it. Carpets can be really tricky, they are nice as decorations but when you choose to add a multi-coloured one; you have to be cautious not to overdo it with the colours (if you have other coloured decorations too). On the other hand for me carpets are pretty essential in bedrooms, so that you don't have to wear shoes in your bedroom too. Carpets can give a special and warm feeling in your bedroom. If you want your whole bedroom to be covered by carpet I would advise you to try light colours rather than bright ones, so your bedroom won't look too overloaded.
|Wilkinson - £9.58
Wallpapers: Market is now full of wallpapers to choose from. They have everything you can imagine of, large ones that will cover your whole wall or small ones that will look like a motive. I wouldn't probably place wallpaper in my living room, but if I had too I will choose colours like brown or beige or white so that I can easily combined them with whatever other colour I used in my decoration. Where I would really like to place wallpaper in a kid's bedroom, they can be princesses or fast cars, cartoon characters or idols, it doesn't really matter as kids tend to love this things and they will be happy to see them.
Flowers: What is better than flower smells within your house? A bouquet of flowers can lead your imagination into beautiful places, gardens, makes you more relaxed, happy, hopeful, I actually think that flowers can make up your whole day. Try to put a nice vase with flowers on your coffee table, and you will see the change in your mood. If you think that buying a bouquet can be really expensive; or consider that you will have to buy one every couple weeks, then try fake ones. They may not give you the aroma that they real ones will do, but they can make up your day just by watching them. Try not to put real flowers in your bedroom or your kids' bedroom as they are not good for your health, especially at night. You can add fake ones though.
There are many decorations I haven't mentioned above, but these for me are must-haves. When it comes to the kitchen there are not so many decorations that you can use but you can try to put colour on the basic things you need in your kitchen. Some decorations you could try are:
|Ikea - £6.00
|Ikea - £5.00
Or just add colour to the things that you normally use in the kitchen:
|Argos - £14.99
Planning on buy a new microwave or a new kettle? Buy them with some splashes of colour on them. This will make your kitchen look friendlier and more pleasant for you to use.
|Argos - £24.99
Add colour on your plates or your cutlery. Dining then will be more pleasant, especially if you have kids, they will love to eat with colourful cutlery. But that does not mean that adults wouldn't.
Put colour in your life, as much as possible, it can really make you see the world in other way, a more pleasant and happy one:) People tend to wear colourful clothes, shoes in order to make their day look brighter, apply this to your home too. I am sure you will be amazed how much effect can colours have on you and you mood.
Thanks for reading! Hope you like it:)

Coal is referred to a type of combustible brownish-black or basically black sedimentary rock which usually occurs in the rock strata in multiple veins or layers called coal seams or coal beds. The form of coal which is comparatively harder such as anthracite coal, might be referred to a metamorphic rock due to its later exposure to elevated pressure and temperature. Coal is mainly composed of carbon along with different amount of nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and hydrogen. At present day, coal is employed as a solid fuel which is used for the production heat and electricity through combustion. However, eyeing over the environmental impacts of coal and it depleting reserves, several regions as well as industries are contemplating on switching to natural gas. Burgeoning industrialization across the globe is expected to be a good knows for the coal industry and the players serving in this industry. Population explosion is another factor that is expected to support this particular industry and its expansion.

Today I drift back to an event that doesn't figure into the grand scheme of music history but is monumental on a personal level. My favorite album of all time is Marillion's Misplaced Childhood. Europeans who grew up in the 1980s may know the album. Fans of neo-prog rock may know the album. However, the general American public is clueless to its existence. On June 29, 1985, it debuted at #1 on the UK charts. It would be two more months before it hit the U.S. charts, peaking at #47.
The album was preceded by the single "Kayleigh". It hit the UK singles chart in May and climbed #2 the week ending June 15. It didn't grace American charts until August when it hit the Billboard rock charts and peaked at #14. In October, the song reached the pop charts as well, hitting #74.
I was a freshman in college in the fall of 1985. One's college days often coincide with one's period in life of greatest musical discovery. I was no exception. I soaked it up the tastes of my peers exploring musical genres that moved beyond my Top 40-oriented base.
I first heard "Kayleigh" about the time it hit U.S. pop radio. While Marillion is generally categorized as neo-prog and compared to Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, this song was their most commercial effort. The song's theme of remorse over splitting with an ex-lover made for a topic of widespread relatability. Fish, the band's frontman, didn't pen just another pop ditty, though. It certainly had catchy lines:
Kayleigh, I never thought I'd miss you
And Kayleigh, I'd hoped that we'd always be friends
We said our love would last forever
So how did it come to this bitter end?
However, it was also infused with Fish's typically poignant twists and sophisticated way with words:
Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall?
Do you remember dawn escaped from moon-washed college halls?
Do you remember the cherry blossoms in the market square?
Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair?
By the way, didn't I break your heart?
Click to see the full set of lyrics.
It grew on me and by Christmas I was geared up to plunge into the whole album. For you young'ns, music discovery in 1985 wasn't as simple as pulling up a bands website or trolling YouTube for video clips. I couldn't hear the music first in pre-Internet days. I was wary. Who was this group? Would I like their other songs? I'd never bought an album solely on the basis of one song. I had to take a leap of faith.
Over Christmas break, I kept wandering into a Camelot music store to check out the album. Ah, yes. Once upon a time people actually bought music in stores – and in malls, no less! The cover art fascinated me. It looked like an album I wanted to hear.
Once I'd liberated my wallet of a few dollars and brought the Misplaced critter home, I was immediately entranced. A room-filling keyboard sound opened the album, segueing into the intriguing words "huddled in the safety of a pseudo silk kimono…" half-sung and half-spoken by Fish. This purchase was one risk I would not regret.
I'm pretty close to illiterate when it comes to grasping music theory, so I have no intelligent insight into why this album grabbed me instrumentally or vocally. I've just had to rely on gut instinct. Does the album's overall sound work for me? It did here – in spades.
What made Childhood a regular fixture in my tape deck was its overall concept. Fish crafted a story which explored well-worn themes of a relationship gone sour, a country ravaged by war, a man dipping into the abyss, and the disappearance of self at the hands of the rock-n-roll lifestyle. Part of the uniqueness stemmed from the conceit of tackling all these ideas at once. The other surprise of the album, however, was its unexpectedly hopeful finale – drug-induced, no less – of recovery via a return to childhood innocence.
Misplaced Childhood is not flawless; it succumbs to the traditional pitfalls of even the most classic concept albums. The Who's Tommy, Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and Pink Floyd's The Wall all have their critics which point to the sometimes bloated feel of the work and a tendency to sacrifice songs in favor of ideas. However, as is true of anything which one cherishes, no justification is required. Passion for any art form does not lie in the ability to explain one's love for the art. One just has to love it.

Jul 13, 2012 / 11:57 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The Diocese of Arlington hopes to strengthen teaching in Catholic schools and churches, by asking religious instructors to promise allegiance to the Church's teachings, even on controversial subjects.
"This is viewed as a positive gesture – one of community and communion, in which our catechists profess their faith in communion with Bishop Loverde, Pope Benedict, and the entire Church," diocesan communications director Michael Donohue said in a July 12 CNA interview.
While a small number of teachers say they cannot make the profession, Donohue said a "far greater number" have told the diocese they see the profession of faith as "a positive gesture."
The profession has been sent to religious instructors to sign by September 2012. It contains the articles of the Nicene Creed, and an affirmation of faith in all teachings "whether written or handed down in Tradition, which the Church … sets forth to be believed as divinely revealed."
It asks signatories to "firmly accept and hold each and every thing definitively proposed by the Church regarding teaching on faith and morals," giving "submission of will and intellect to the teachings which either the Roman Pontiff or the College of Bishops enunciate."
Its requirements are based on teachings found in the Second Vatican Council document "Lumen Gentium," which reaffirms the status of bishops as successors to the apostles and states that the faithful "are to accept their teaching and adhere to it with a religious assent" in matters of faith and morals.
Nearly half a million Catholics, including almost 5,000 religious instructors, live and worship in the Arlington diocese. On July 11, the Washington Post published a lengthy story about five Sunday school teachers who left their positions after refusing to sign the oath of fidelity to Church teaching.
Objectors were quoted describing the faith requirement as a "shock" and "a slap in the face." A former teacher acknowledged the bishops' "authoritative role," but told Arlington's Bishop Paul S. Loverde that only someone "willing to abandon her own reason and judgment" could sign the statement.
But Donohue explained that the pledge was not instituted to punish dissent from Church teaching. Rather, its purpose is to build and strengthen the faith within Catholic institutions, ensuring that they pass on the truth of the Gospel in its entirety.
"This all occurs in the context of the Year of Faith, as well as the context of marking the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council," Donohue noted.
In his announcement of the Year of Faith, the Pope described various ways in which dioceses and parishes could join in professing the Church's beliefs. Based on this suggestion, the Arlington diocese extended the profession of faith – already expected of others in Church offices – to its religion teachers.
While some Catholics may struggle with particular doctrines, Donohue suggested it would be wrong for religion teachers to withhold anything that the Church accepts as revealed by God.
"All Catholics, at some point or another, might have had difficulty understanding or accepting the truth of a particular teaching," he acknowledged.
That sort of personal struggle, he said, is "not an uncommon experience. That's not what this is about."
Donohue also said the oath should not be seen primarily in terms of the errors it forbids, but in terms of the faith it promotes. Since every aspect of Church teaching relates to God's grace, and Christ's offer of eternal life, the faithful deserve to hear the Gospel message without omissions.
"The Church wants what's best for its flock, and for everyone," he said.
For this reason, "it provides the tools, and the teaching, to help every individual Catholic – and anyone who would come to the Church – to understand and accept the teaching of Christ's Church."
"...While a small number of teachers say they cannot make the profession..." These few should not be Cathecists. If you do not believe and teach the truths of the faith you should not be a catechist. the Chuurch does not teach opinion it deals in truth.
While my Diocese does not require this profession, I plan to stand before the congregation and state my profession, hand on Scripture, that I will teach the truth as it has been passed down from the Apostles, the Church Fathers, the Popes and Sacred Tradition. Amen.

Today, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) President and CEO Benjamin Jealous signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) at the NAACP's 104th Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida.
The Agreement will expand outreach to traditionally underserved communities through the NAACP network of more than 200,000 members. Through the MOA, FEMA and the NAACP have joined forces to ensure the needs of underrepresented communities are more fully incorporated into disaster preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation-related activities. The two agencies also will share information such as lessons learned, best practices and training resources, to improve community resilience.

As a follow up to my post about "The Road", I thought I'd pass along this little quote I read recently from Eugene Peterson in the book "Reversed Thunder: The Revelation of John and the Praying Imagination". In short: he agrees with me.
"The pastor is the person who specializes in accompanying persons of faith 'in the middle,' facing the ugly details, the meaningless routines, the mocking wickedness and all the time doggedly insisting that this unaccountably unlovely middle is connected to a splendid beginning and a glorious ending.... When we read a novel we have a analogous experience. We begin the first chapter knowing that there is a last chapter. One of the satisfying things about just picking up a book is the sure knowledge that it will end. In the course of reading we are often puzzled, sometimes in suspense, usually wrong in our expectations, frequently mistaken in our assessment of character. But when we don't understand or agree or feel satisfied, we don't ordinarily quit. We assume meaning and connection and design even when we don't experience it. The last chapter, we are confident, will demonstrate the meaning that was continuous through the novel. We believe that the story will satisfyingly end, not arbitrarily stop."

UREC's Online Registration Website
UREC is excited to introduce a new online registration website, URECregister.jmu.edu which will be available for the JMU community to utilize starting at the beginning of the Spring 2014 semester to register online for all programs (this includes Group Fitness classes and Intramural Sports) and most services.
Take a tour of the new website by watching this video!
Program registration will still be available at UREC as it has been in the past. To pay for fee programs, the new online registration system will now accept credit cards and the UREC program registration desk (in-person) will accept FLEX.
Participants will need to be aware of a few policy changes due to the new system:
- Use your JMU e-ID and password to login. This same login will grant you access to IMleagues.com.
- Participants will not be able to cancel registrations online. To cancel a registration, you must call or visit the UREC Program Registration Desk at 540-568-8734 by the cancelation deadline (one hour in advance for Group Fitness classes and for most non-fee educational programs). If you do not cancel and do not show up on time for a class, you are considered a "no-show participant." If you no-show three times in one semester, you will lose your online registration privileges for the remainder of that semester.
- Group Fitness classes will open for registration 6:30am the day before the class (extending the former 24 hour registration period).
- Refunds for courses with fees must be approved by the appropriate UREC professional staff member implementing the program by the refund deadline listed with the course. Please allow one week for approved refunds to reimburse your credit card. A convenience fee for credit payment will not be refunded.
Another feature of this new system allows participants to check out equipment and keep your JAC with you during your workout. Remember to return equipment before leaving the building or you may incur a fee.
Participants will also be able to view Racquetball Court availability prior to calling the UREC Equipment Center to make a reservation.
If you need assistance, our member services staff is available to help you with any questions you may have. Please call 540-568-8734 or visit the UREC Welcome Center for help with online registration.

America ReFramed "Skydance" The Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State Building, the World Trade Center: for more than 120 years, Mohawk ironworkers have raised America's modern cityscapes. They are called 'sky walkers' because they walk fearlessly atop steel beams just a foot wide, high above the city. Who are these Mohawk sky walkers? What is their secret for overcoming fear? Has 'sky walking' replaced an ancient rite of passage? Or is it the pure need to adapt in order to survive? And what is their life really like, when every Friday at quitting time, they jump in their cars and make the eight-hour drive up north to their families on the reservation? SKYDANCER is a feature length documentary that takes a provocative look at Indian life in the 21st Century: from the fragile hierarchy on top of the breath-taking steel structures in New York City to life 'on the Rez' where problems like unemployment and crime make it hard to see the pristine beauty of the surrounding lands.

If you watched the new iPhone 4S commercials that Apple released last night, the ones that feature John Malkovich asking Siri for jokes and about the meaning of life, you might have noticed the way in which he was asking. In short, it was short. David Chartier certainly noticed:
Joke features him speaking a series of one-word commands to Siri that practically feel like verbal equivalents of tapping on a particular app to get a particular piece of information. "Weather." "Evening." "Linguica." "Joke." Apple seems to want to remind us that, underneath the clever responses and artificial personality, Siri is a tool meant to help us get more done with less.
Talking to Siri like it's a Pixar character certainly makes it more endearing, and makes the virtual relationship seem more real. The commercial shows, however, that if you don't have time or simply aren't in the mood for pleasantries, you can get to the point with machine-like brevity.
Unfortunately, for all of Siri's context awareness, it doesn't seem to notice when your communications are rushed and respond in kind. As the commercial also shows, even one short word like "life" can return a paragraph-long reply.
For more tips, check out our latest Siri how-to series, or jump on over to our Siri forum and tell us how you prefer talking to Apple's adorable little digital assistant!

we're targeting entrepreneurs in high growth under-served markets. we're looking for entrepreneurs that need help getting to the next level.
1. currently in our head we see the "c" in chesapeake forming some kind of "ocean wave" into a "p". something inspired by asian oceanic based art is a starting point.
a) another concept that we thought of for the "cp" was a wave merging/crashing into a snow-capped mountain...something akin to quicksilver, but obviously different.
2. in other words the LOGO could be a creative, edgy, but simple interpretation of the letters "cp" followed by "chesapeake pacific holdings llc" being written out in lowercase horizontally adjacent to the "cp"
3. we clearly don't have creative savvy and will leave the interpretation to the designers inspiration.
4. we don't want anything cheesy or comical. the look and feel should be very professional, but endearing. something that could be put on a street sign or building.

Ctek GmbH needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 15 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
Ctek GmbH
The store sells homeopathic products such as pills and health cream etc. Therefore we are looking for a simple and friendly design where the main colors are light-green and white.
The target audience are mainly women that are interested in natural products. The layout should be simple and well arranged. Pictures (nature, people, kids) are very important to deliver the message of health and the connection to the nature.
Green and White should be the main colors. The buttons might be blue. Again: simple, well-arranged and with pictures. Those are the main criterias.
To get the idea of our expectations, the webpage https://www.23andme.com/ is a good start. Basically we want this layout with some changes:
Find more details in the attached PDF.
The task surely shouldn't be a big thing, since there are only 3 Pages to be created. The first results don't have to be perfect. We just need to see if it's going to the right direction.:)
UPDATE: On the left a category block for the products is needed.

Hi Guys!
As you know I joined up to my first cougar dating site the other day and had fun looking around and chatting to some guys. I have since found out about another site that is even more popular (meaning more people online to flirt with).
This week I am reviewing the Number 1 cougar dating site, dateacougar.com. This site is very popular and therefore has loads of members. I was pleasantly surprised how many cougars and cubs were in my area, looking to date. It is always nice to have a choice! Before I even signed up I could see which young men in my area were online. I could only see their photos at this stage, but it was good to see some of the people I could be chatting with soon. It also told me the total number of guys in my area who had signed up. However, once I was online I found many more people who were not far at all from me.
The thing I really liked about this site was that as soon as I had entered my user namer (Dianeontheprowl) I was given a chance to send out a one time icebreaker to the community. You can skip this, but I chose to go ahead and wrote something like "Hi, I'm a sexy cougar woman looking for some casual fun. Any good looking, intelligent men want to chat?" Sure enough I got messages even before I had finished my profile.
I was able to all the features of the site for free. Set up was pretty standard, just a matter of entering my name, email address and date of birth. After that I just had to enter a brief headline for myself and a description. This can be brief if you just want to get online, but it pays to take time to write a full description. The more detail you add, the more likely hot cougar women/sexy young cubs are to initiate chat with you. Fill this area in with details about yourself, such as hobbies, likes and dislikes and interesting things about yourself. It is the perfect opportunity to set yourself apart from the rest. You can answer as many or as few questions as you like about yourself, including your looks, personality, habits, what you do for fun etc.
You then click Create Account and that's it. Your account is created. You will be taken to a billing page which explains membership options. Here you can sign up for a free 3 day trial with all the benefits of full membership, or upgrade straight away to begin chatting with cougar women and arranging your dates and hook ups.
The other option is to click at the bottom of the page where it says members area. A free membership is quite limited, but you can check out cougar and cub profiles in your area and even begin chatting. The site tells you whether someone is online. It also tells you how many miles away they live from you. I upgraded today, as it was so much better and good value for money. Once men saw I had upgraded they obviously realized I was serious and I started to get a lot of messages.
I added my photos and more information about myself. Uploading a photo increases your chances of getting a message by 85%. You probably wouldn't contact a cougar woman who didn't have a photo up after all.
Other features of the site include the ability to send someone a 'flirt'. This is a way of showing them that you are interested, without sending a full message. They can choose to send you a flirt back. You have an Inbox, where you can check all your messages from cougar women, as well as any admin messages with updates etc. If you don't want people to see you are online then you can choose to go invisible.

Mariner 04
Goals: Like its predecessor Mariner 3, Mariner 4 was designed to snap a series of photos of Mars after an eight month journey studying interplanetary space. The spacecraft was also equipped to study the Martian atmosphere as it flew past.
Accomplishments: Mariner 4 was one of the great successes of the early American space program. The spacecraft sent back 21 black and white images of the Martian surface -- the first pictures taken of another planet from space. The spacecraft found that Mars was a battered, cold and barren world. Scientists learned they would need retro rockets in addition to parachutes to safely deliver a spacecraft through the planet's thin atmosphere to the surface. Mariner 4 also found Mars' weak radiation belt.

I'm very blessed to have friends like you.
It truly is all of you that keep me going creating new recipes.
Your positive comments and admiration are a blessing to me.
Thank you all so very much.
Merry Christmas!
Lately the sunsets (and warm weather) here on cape cod have been amazing. This is Corporation Beach in Dennis, MA.
Hard to believe it's winter, but I'll take this weather.
Even some of my surfing buds are still catching some swells over at cape cod national seashore: nauset beach.
Wouldn't it be nice if this warm weather stayed right up until spring?
Most parts of cape cod are all closed up for the season--its like a ghost town. Nice though for long walks on the beach. Photo of Chapin Beach Conservation Land, Dennis, MA.
And of course we still get a ton of rain and fog here. Local guy clamming in Harwich, MA.
But after the rain, the sun finally comes out, and boy is it something spectacular--each and every time. This is a beautiful summer home on the beach in harwichport, ma. Wouldn't it be nice to vacation here?
Spring can't come soon enough for me.
Merry Christmas! And happy new year too!
Merry Christmas

About the Talk
August 19, 2011 7:30 AM
201 State Street, Madison, WI201 State Street, Madison, WI
Free Whiskey ..._disk: for embarrassingly fast deployments In this talk I'll discuss why in the world I would even remotely consider writing a(nother) capistrano replacement, how I justified it as an experiment with practical impact on our deployments, and how the experiment resulted in immediate payoffs. We'll explore how looking at a problem of with fresh eyes changes the way we solve it. How insisting on doing the Simplest Thing That Could Work, and being religiously test-first (BDD) results in an incredibly fast and simple software. We'll discuss how we know when to add development overhead (git-flow management for releases, full end-to-end integration suites, formal issue tracking, etc.) as a project moves forward. Finally, we'll show you how to solve deployment issues you probably weren't even aware you had.

January 14, 2010
The program kept participants engaged as it interspersed vocal performances from the MXI Singers and the Second Baptist Church Choir between readings from Dr. King's Stride Toward Freedom and Strength to Love as well as Rosa Parks' Quiet Strength. The excerpts, which tackled serious topics such as racism and oppression, were juxtaposed alongside energetic and hopeful renditions of African American spirituals. The MXI Singers, a quartet composed of seniors Edward Davis and Danny King, junior Deonte' Singfield, and sophomore Reginald Steele, sang spirituals such as "Down by the Riverside" in multi-part harmony while the enthusiastic Baxter 101 audience kept time with their hands and feet.
Reverend Kenneth Wilson, a pastor at the Second Baptist Church. Reverend Wilson summarized the life of Dr. King through a Biblical verse from the book of John, as he quoted, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for a friend." This willingness to sacrifice himself for his cause, as well as the desire to lead without delegation, were two of the key qualities that made Dr. King such an outstanding leader, Reverend Wilson said.
Despite the emphasis on the past, Dr. King's influence on the present day was not lost. "I believe that because Dr. King displayed the courage that he did at that particular time that today America has an African American president," Reverend Wilson said. On a more personal level, Wilson added that King's vision and drive were instrumental to his own success. "Dr. King had a dream, and because he had a dream, because he did what he did, I can."
The evening reached a crescendo with a dramatic reading of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. MXIBS members read alternating lines while multiple members exclaimed some of the especially poignant lines in unison. King's dream became a reality before the audience's very eyes, as Wabash students of multiple races delivered the speech side-by-side with poise and conviction.
As the program came to a close, Dr. Jill Lamberton, a visiting English professor, offered those in attendance a parting blessing to continue Dr. King's work. Quoting the Bible, she stated, "I would pray that you, you who stand for justice and fight for freedom will go out with joy and be led forth in peace. That the mountains and the hills will break into song for you, and that the trees and of the field will clap their hands."
The day of celebration began this morning with a symbolic march across campus. Lake, assistant basketball coach Antoine Carpenter (at right), and retired track coach Rob Johnson all offered brief remarks.

Personal Break! Slow Bake on Hiatus
Ever have one of those seasons, where everything hits at once - I'm in it! I actually got so busy they cleared my land! In Second Life, a few days can make a big difference!
So between this and that, and my personal work, I'm taking a short break and will be back soon with your SL tunes! I will scout for new recipes (songs). I have been waiting for some new artists and albums to debut.
Remember Slow Bake streams on SL Live Radio. So when I am not live, their stream is always active, 24/7 with the best contemporary mix music from the U.S., U.K., and world.
My show only focuses on SL musicians! I believe our SL talent needs to be showcased, and for that reason I will be back soon enough. May flowers brings Slow Bake hour.
If you are new to Slow Bake, browse back through the blog. See what you have missed, and what will be back soon, but only better. We only get better. :)
Belinda, my hostess, says hello, and look for her digital art on Facebook!
Kara, our favorite SL blogger, keeps you updated. Check out her SL Adventures! http://karasecondlife.blogspot.com/
Peace out!

Industry News
Appointing a Digital Director to Your Salon
Do you want to be an innovator or a laggard? You better decide because your future depends on it, says Patrick McIvor, Artistic & TechniCulture Director for Goldwell and KMS California. As a social media guru, McIvor believes that those who adopt social media early benefit more than those that lag behind.
McIvor refers to the Diffusion of Innovations theory that seeks to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures. Everett Rogers, a professor of communication studies, popularized the theory in his book, Diffusion of Innovations. The book is based on the theory that there are four main elements that influence the spread of a new idea: the innovation, communication channels, time, and a social system.
"In our industry, the magic number is 16%, you have to have over 16% new business for people to be talking about you enough to be considered successful, innovative and hot. If not enough people are talking about you, you will not make it, 16% is the tipping point," says McIvor. "Salons are full of ideas, they need to communicate these innovative ideas in a timely manner to their social networks to breed the success of the Early Majority (see below)."
McIvor suggests being an innovator by appointing a Digital Director to the salon that will man the social media outlets to communicate innovative ideas in a timely manner to a social network.
"Salons today have color directors, creative directors, style directors, now we need digital directors, this is what will excite existing guests and attract new customers. You have to be proactive and share your ideas and accomplishments in the Early Majority to attract the guests you want. If you don't, you will be a Laggard – there will always be the 16% (see above) that lags before joining innovation, but sooner or later they will have to conform because they are forced to. Think rotary phones, analog television broadcasting and VHS tapes, there would still be people using these if they had the choice, but that does not make them good choices," explains McIvor.
When reading through SALON TODAY 200 applications this year, we came across a number of salons that have implemented some type of Technology Master/Digital Director position at their salon. This position helps support the salon with their current technology (iPads, phone systems, software systems, social media, etc.) The implementation of current technology isn't only about creating a better experience for the customer, technology also assists in having more effective day to day operations, and that's why you need someone whose sole job is to manage it.
"We have a Technology Manager who supports all of our daily tech needs and ensures that we have the tools necessary to support all facets of the business," says Jennifer Tyron and Sheila Barco owners of Salon Rootz in Medina, OH.
"To stay on the cutting edge in this ever-changing industry, we have an IT expert who has been part of the Spa Mizan team for 14 years. Our tech expert stays abreast some of the latest and greatest tools available to us, and his commitment and dedication to our technology is one of the strongest competitive advantages that we have at Spa Mizan. He is constantly researching new requirement and tools that would benefit Spa Mizan, while being very adept at cost comparisons," says owner Ginger Louviere, Spa Mizan in Lafayette, LA.
IF YOU HAVE A DIGITAL DIRECTOR AND HAVE A RESPONSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT E-MAIL WEB EDITOR LAUREN SALAPATEK AT [email protected] your quote and we will add it!

Leading Republican White House hopeful Mitt Romney can't draw the "stark contrast" he needs to beat President Barack Obama, Rick Santorum said Thursday.
Former Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Santorum zeroed in on the former Massachusetts governor in his talk to about 500 people at Sun City Hilton Head.
Santorum and several other GOP candidates are zigzagging through South Carolina as its Jan. 21 primary — widely considered a crucial showdown — approaches.
Wearing his trademark navy-blue sweater vest, Santorum drove home that point.
"You have a very important role to play, a huge role to play," he said. "If South Carolina gets it wrong, this country may be stuck with four more years of Barack Obama.
"... We will be the generation that will have to explain to your children and grandchildren as to what you did, the opportunity you missed."
To get it right, he said, "we'd better have someone with a solid strong record," and without mentioning Romney by name, made it clear he doesn't think Romney fits the bill.
After denouncing Obama's national health care overhaul program, he added that, "unfortunately the person who supposedly is leading for the nomination ... has the worst record of anyone in the field on health."
He was referring to health care legislation that Romney signed as governor and which resembles what Republicans call "Obamacare."
Santorum added that he opposed federal programs to bail out Wall Street banks, the auto industry and other big businesses, but Romney "supported them all."
"Where's the contrast?" he asked. "Where's the vision? Where is the explanation to the American public of who we are?
"Oh, you've got talk and rhetoric now, but let me assure you that the other side is going to point out ... that rhetoric didn't stand in the way when times were tough and we had to make decisions."
Romney beat Santorum by just eight votes in the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses but handily won Tuesday's New Hampshire primary.
He was roughly even with former U.S. House Speaker and Georgia congressman Newt Gingrich for the lead in a South Carolina poll taken Wednesday night.
Santorum and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas were roughly tied for second and Texas Gov. Rick Perry was far behind.
In Bluffton, Santorum also took a potshot at Arizona Sen. John McCain, who was the 2008 GOP nominee against Obama and who has campaigned with Romney in South Carolina. McCain and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley campaigned with Romney on Hilton Head Island on Friday.
The jab came as the candidate responded to a question on how he'd fare in a debate against Obama.
"I'm not afraid," he said, "to bring up all the issues where he has been a radical since he's held the office of president and go after him directly.
"I think its important that we be respectful of the president but we don't do what John McCain did and simply refuse to engage him."
Santorum showed no reluctance to confront Obama on Thursday, claiming the president wants to expand government to create dependency — and attract votes.
He said such dependency "hooks people like a narcotic" and "makes you less than you can be."
He also accused the president of "managing the decline of America" and promoting class warfare.
The Sun City appearance was one of at least four on Thursday by Santorum in South Carolina. They included stops in Beaufort and on Hilton Head Island.
People at the Sun City event said they liked what they heard.
"The more you look at him, the better he looks," said Kerry Johnson of Bluffton. "He can go up against Barack Obama and get elected. He's articulate, well balanced and he's got great experience."
Santorum served four years in the U.S. House and 12 years in the U.S. Senate.
Sun City resident Marilyn Santiago also gave him high marks.
"He's eloquent; he's fluid," Santiago said. "... He has answers that resonate with ... most Americans. I think he could debate Obama very well."

Did your iPhone 'just stop working' - or did you drop it in your BEER?
No more lying at the Genius Bar - Apple patents water detection
Apple was awarded patents on 21 of its design and engineering applications yesterday - including one for a head-mounted immersive visual display.
The other 20 are a little less visionary, but at least one of the patents awarded could have an impact on fanbois who have given their phones an immersive watery experience.
Patent 8,210,032 is designed to help Apple staff determine whether or not a dysfunctional iPhone had in fact been dropped in a pint of beer/the toilet/the swimming pool/etc. Good news for warranty-enforcing Apple store staff, not good news when your boss subsequently rumbles you for ruining a corporate handset.
Apple says in the patent:
Water exposure is among major reasons that may cause significant malfunction of devices [...] Therefore, verification of significant water exposure (or water immersion) is important to manufacturers of the devices. For example, for purposes such as warranty claim assessment, trouble-shooting for repairs, and product development.
The design outlines a water-detecting component that would fit into the case of a gadget and would determine whether – and to what degree – the device had been dunked in water.
It ain't rocket science – it consists of a water reactive material that includes a soluble dye and small hole. From the patent's description the water-detecting module would fit inside the case – somewhere that a Genius Bar operative could reach it, but a fiddling fanboi can't.
To determine whether device 100 has previously been immersed in water, an inspector 170, such as a representative of the manufacture of device 100, may open cover 108 and remove removable module 110 to see whether detector 102 has changed color.
Alternatively a little display hole on the gadget's surface would reflect whether you'd dunked your iPhone in water.
Apple has submitted some pretty weird patents: such as its privacy by cloneware idea. But the rest of this batch are fairly mundane: there's whole patent on new packaging design, another on an iPod stand and others deal with small software tweaks: for example one which allows you to view multiple application windows in a user interface and one which will allow you to listen to certain tracks in a fixed sequence even when playing tracks on random shuffle.
The patent 'Water detection arrangement' was filed on 15 January, 2010 and awarded on 3 July, 2012. ®

NEMO Coal and United Mine Workers of America local 2366 invited members of Missouri's legislature for a discussion on problems facing Missouri coal mines. The group was also given a tour of NEMO Coal and stopped to inspect reclaimed land. After an area is strip-mined NEMO Coal is required by law to return that land to equal or better condition before the mining. Just one year after mining. A photo featured an area that was planted and hay was harvested. Larry Fuller, Vice President of NEMO Coal, discussed the problems facing Missouri mines. Fuller used charts to explain the uses of coal and the origin of coal used in Missouri.

AndreasR needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 12 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
We're an online games portal with over 5.000 games. We use icons to represent each category of games such as cars, sports, puzzle, etc.
We're always looking for new icons so the winner is very likely to be asked to do more work for us in the near future.
Kids/teens aged 8-16.
We need eight 24x24 icons, each representing a category of games:
1) Truck (Either a cargo truck or a big foot truck)
2) Plane (A regular plane or jet)
3) Multiplayer
4) Spongebob
5) Bicycle
6) Classics (Pacman would be a perfect fit. Mario/Sonic can't be used)
7) Hardcore (For complex games, like RPGs. The icon could be anything as long as it conveys an idea of complexity)
8) Deluxe (For "fancy" games. A star would be just fine, however it can't be a yellow star as we already use one of those)
I have attached a sample of some of our icons. It's extremely important that the icons you create have the same look and feel.
