Digital asset management.
Create and manage the content you need to power your customer experiences.
Content velocity at the speed of opportunity.
Your content is at the heart of engaging and powerful customer experiences. To deliver personalized experiences, you need to create, manage, and deliver massive amounts of diverse content across an increasing number of channels. Getting content from ideation to experience is more important today than ever, but without a robust, end-to-end digital asset management (DAM) solution, you may run into these frustrations:
"I can't find the assets I need, but I know they exist."
With an increasing number of digital assets scattered and hidden across many siloed systems and hard drives, your company wastes untold resources looking for or re-creating assets that already exist.
"Getting engaging digital assets to market quickly is impossible."
When opportunities arise, time is of the essence. Wasting time with non-automated, email-driven workflows or manually distributing content can squander would-be revenue and relationships.
"I don't know how customers engage with different content — or how to find out."
With so much content to choose from, it takes extra steps to know which assets on which channels will work best for your audience, limiting content reuse and putting even more pressure on creative teams.
4 major roadblocks to efficient, end-to-end asset management.
Inefficient collaboration between creatives and marketers.
Asset disorganization across content silos.
Inability to streamline content delivery across channels.
No asset performance data to maximize content use.
The solution
Accelerate access to the right content.
Digital asset predicament vs. Digital asset management.
Digital asset predicament happens when your content resides in several locations, with no controls for versions or access, and no capability for centralized search. As the volume of marketing content increases, it's harder to find the content you need in a timely manner. As a result, you miss revenue opportunities and waste resources on duplicated efforts.
Digital asset management provides the ability to manage, deliver, and gauge the effectiveness of your content from a single location. You can streamline collaboration between your creative and marketing teams and ensure users have the content they need for any channel. You can also use artificial intelligence and data-driven insights to know which content performs best.
Digital asset management = Technology that provides your enterprise with a single source of truth to better create, manage, deliver, and optimize the content that fuels your brand experiences.
While other asset management methods can slow down marketing efforts, end-to-end DAM allows your enterprise to:
all assets via streamlined workflows integrated with creative tools.
all assets via a workflow-driven, searchable cloud repository.
one master file — image, video, or 3D — efficiently across channels.
asset performance by channel and audience for better experiences.
Put some DAM strategy in your marketing.

So unfortunately, I don't have quite as exciting news as Christina. Friday morning, I was going over the Manhattan bridge to my internship when I got a call from my friend who had just checked her email to find that she was on the list of chosen garments. She checked my email only to find that I was not on said list. What a friggen bummer. Not much more I can say, except that I am super proud of the work I've done and I really couldn't be happier with my two looks! I was a little bummed all day (needless to say), and when the designers at Opening Ceremony asked me what was up, I admitted that I had found out that morning that I didn't get into our senior show. To my surprise, three of them exclaimed that they too did not get into their shows! This sort of gave me a little hope because here were girls with my dream jobs, and they hadn't been chosen for their shows. Not to say I'm not still completely bummed, but it was nice to be reassured that it's really not the end of the world. It may be the end of my undergrad career, but it's just the beginning of years of designing and maybe some day I'll have a runway show of my own!
So this week (before judgment day) was nothing short of epic. It's similar to what we experience every year with the week our term garments are due, but this was more… this had a goal in mind and thus even more motivation for a couple of sleepless nights. This is sort of what my Monday and Tuesday looked like…
Then Tuesday night blended seamlessly into Wednesday morning and that looked a little like this:
At 6:40 am my friend, Dani B, met me at my apartment and we called a cab, then we made a pit stop to pick up our friend Teresa, then over the Brooklyn Bridge we went. Our little knit lab/cellar/cave/dungeon has never been so hectic. We started dressing our forms around 7:15 and around 8 am, our critic arrived. I don't think this was required of her at all, but she brought with her tonnes of accessories and shoes that she had bought the night before with our garments in mind – super sweet and wayyy appreciated. The class looked amazing (as did the other knitwear class!). Honestly, to be one of those judges must have been extremely challenging, I sure wouldn't know how to narrow it down! Every single piece was Fashion Show worthy if you ask me!! Here's what mine looked like: (FYI, my Flickr is not letting me sign in so I will link these pics to my better-quality ones as soon as it's working again. PLUS i will include photos of the designers and garments of the whole knitwear specialization so CHECK BACK!)
And here's everyone in my class!
At 9 am, the Fashion Show judges and the Cotton Inc judges arrived and we aptly left the building to bask in the sun and breathe for the first time in over a month. It sure was a strange feeling. Half an hour goes by and we head back to the dungeon, undress our mannequins, return them back to their respective classrooms, and stuff our months of hard work back into our lockers. Then we do what any Fashion Design student would do in celebration – we head to Dallas BBQ for margaritas and fried chicken where I promptly fall asleep at the table (this is not a joke, according to the rest of the girls, it was for a solid 8 minutes).
All-in-all, it was an incredible experience and there's a tonne that I'm able to take away from it all. I don't even think I'm done with my collection, actually. Though technically I'm done the work in that class, I think I'll make a third look to sort of sum it all up. Plus I'm in touch with an awesome photo student from school, B. Charles Johnson, who's going to shoot my looks and previous work as well. I think we could make something SUPER rad.
Also, as a side note… when I got back to my internship (from the Garment District) on Friday, after I had told them I hadn't made the show, I asked if they wanted to see my garments. They all crowded around and the number of "oohs" and "aahs" and gasps I heard really gave me the ego boost I needed. They were so shocked that I had made all of the fabrics and everyone picked their favourite pieces. It was such a great feeling!

World shares, commodities and the euro all gained on Wednesday as expectations grew that the financial crisis in Europe and a deteriorating economic outlook would prompt major central banks to embark on stimulus measures.
U.S. stock index futures also pointed to a stronger start on Wall Street.
The European Central Bank (ECB) resisted pressure to provide more support for the euro zone's ailing economy at its regular monthly policy meeting by holding its main interest rate steady at 1 percent.
But market participants said President Mario Draghi's comments at a news conference to explain the thinking behind the policy decision later will be key.
"The market will be looking for any guidance on rate cuts and on liquidity injections at the press conference," said John Hardy, FX strategist at Saxo Bank.
The euro was up 0.3 percent against the dollar at $1.2495, broadly steady from levels before the ECB rate decision and well above a near two-year low of $1.2288 hit last Friday.
Recent disappointing economic data from the United States and China, as well as signs the euro area slowdown is affecting core countries such as Germany, has been piling up pressure on the world's central banks to make some response.
"The market's expectation regarding further policy action globally is picking up," said Ian Stannard, an executive director at Morgan Stanley.
"We could well see easing taking place throughout many of the G10 countries," he said. "We believe that quantitative easing from the Fed is also very much back on the table."
Europe's share markets, back to full strength after two days of market holidays in Britain cut volumes, took their cue from a rally in Asia on the central bank stimulus hopes.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index rose 1.45 percent to 968.89 points, led by a gain of 2.6 percent in banking stocks, which stand to gain most from any fresh policy easing measures.
"If they (the ECB) give a hint of a rate cut possibly coming in July then I think we will see markets still move higher," said Neil Marsh, strategist at Newedge.
The MSCI World Equity Index extended the gains it has been making all week, rising 0.7 percent to 294.91 after strong gains across Asia and in other emerging markets.
The MSCI Emerging Equity Index was up for a second consecutive day, rising over 1 percent, as it recovered from six-month lows hit on Monday.
Despite the rally in riskier asset markets, Germany was able to sell 3.98 billion euros of five-year government bonds at a record low yield of 0.41 percent as investors remained nervous about Spain's banks and the possibility of Greece leaving the euro.
"(The auction) demonstrates that the demand for safety remains very strong despite increasing risk of a policy intervention by the ECB or EU politicians," said Michael Leister, rate strategist at DZ Bank.
German 10-year bond yields, which hit record lows last week as the nervousness over Spain's finances prompted a surge in demand for less risky assets, were mostly steady at 1.25 percent .
Signs that Germany and European Union officials are urgently exploring ways to rescue Spain's debt-stricken banks eased some of the pressure on Spanish government debt ahead of a planned auction of up to 2 billion euros ($2.5 billion) in new bonds on Thursday.
Spain, the euro zone's fourth biggest economy, said on Tuesday it was effectively losing access to credit markets due to prohibitive borrowing costs and appealed to European partners to help revive its banks.
Spanish 10-year bond yields were 3.5 basis points lower at 6.28 percent, extending this week's fall to around 25 basis points.
Gold rose more than 1 percent to $1,633.18 an ounce, its highest level in a month, on the central bank stimulus hopes.
Other precious metals rose in gold's wake, with both silver and palladium climbing nearly 3 percent to their day's highs.
In the oil markets prices also found support from the larger-than-expected drop in U.S. crude stocks reported by the American Petroleum Institute industry group.
Brent crude, which had seen a near 25 percent drop in the past three months, rose by $1.47 to $100.31 a barrel, while U.S. crude climbed $1.16 cents to $85.45.
Weekly inventory data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, which typically carries more weight in the market than API estimates, will be released later on Wednesday.

The Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Program at Yale offers a variety of courses and an undergraduate major (BA). The Program establishes gender and sexuality as fundamental categories of social and cultural analysis. Drawing on history, literature, cultural studies, social science, and science, it offers interdisciplinary perspectives from which to study the diversity of human experience. Gender—the social meaning of the distinction between the sexes—and sexuality—sexual identities, discourses, and institutions—are studied as they intersect with class, race, ethnicity,nationality, and transnational movements.
The Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Program was established at Yale in 1979 as the Women's Studies program. Since its founding, the program has grown and evolved, changing its name twice—in 1998, to the Women's & Gender Studies Program, and in 2004, to the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program—to recognize the importance of the study of both gender and sexuality in the academy. A thorough history of the program, written in 2001 by Kirsten Lodal, is available here as a PDF: "Engendering an Intellectual Space: The Development of Women's Studies at Yale University, 1969-2001."

I'm getting back into the gym after a long time off. I'm looking for gain muscle mass, but right now stomach fat and glutes annoy me the most.
Is there any routines out there that target stomach fat and glutes?
I've seen a couple of routines that target specific areas, but they are pretty advanced and the research is not final on them. In my experience if you are returning after a long break, what you eat is far more important than what you do in the gym (take it from someone who just dropped 1lb or more every week for a straight month).
If you never manipulated your diet, here are three easy steps that got me from 196 to 178 in less than two years.
1. Track your food. Download MyFitnessPal (if you use JEFit, I presume you have a smartphone or iPhone, so hardware is not a problem) and just record everything you eat. At this stage you shouldn't aim to change anything, just spend a week or two gauging your food intake and recording where most of your macros come from. When I started food journal a real eye-opener was the sweets - I didn't realize that I can consume over 500 calories' worth of chocolate with tea after dinner. (I do a tenth of that now - on the days when I earn it - but that's a different story.) Another eye-opener was the carbs - apparently 60% of my caloric intake was carbohydrates, and not the healthiest kind.
2. Start cutting calories. Once you've seen how much you eat, the simplest next step is to reduce calories. Don't aim for perfectly balanced macros, just cut to the level you need and keep adjusting for a couple of months. Don't cut too much, if you find yourself at 3600 a day and MFP suggests 2400, don't cut more than 200-300 daily calories per week, especially if you work on a busy schedule.
I know a number of people on this forum and off it will take me to task by sticking to the old "a calorie is a calorie" mantra. Let me make it clear - I do not hold by it, moreover I'm now at the stage where I balance my macros not just per day, but per each meal, and calorie count is secondary to it. It took me almost three years to get to this point, and if I jumped to it on day one, I wouldn't last long. By simply cutting calories I immediately excluded most of junk food - potato chips disappeared entirely and I have ice cream maybe twice a month. It works for a simple reason: when you have limited budget and see that a bag of chips would keep you full for maybe an hour, while an average apple has fewer calories and lasts longer, you go for the apple and leave the chips for later (or for good!). To put it super simple: once you limit your caloric intake, a lot of good choices become automatic. This does not happen immediately, but in a a few months your diet is bound to change for the better and your weight will follow the suit.
3. Once you are comfortable with your caloric intake you should start balancing your macros. There are many opinions out there on what should be a proper balance, but having 35-40% of protein and 30-35% of carbs and fat worked very well for me, and unless you are a competitor or want to get super thin in a hurry (not a good idea for most of us), this should work. If it doesn't, read up and start experimenting. This step is trickier than the first two, and it took me a long time to master it, but at the end I am glad that I did.
I know that I didn't answer your question directly, but for me this was the best way to get rid of 36in waistline (presently nearing 31). I also know that when you get to the gym for the first time it feels like everyone is staring at your gut and snickering at tiny dumbbells in your hands, but this is not the case. Many of us would never do it because we remember how it feels, and most of the guys who were athletic to begin with are too busy with their program to pay attention to you (unless you ask them to spot you or you take turns on the same machine). True, there are a few jackasses out there, but just as anywhere else the best attitude is to ignore them and carry on.
Good luck with your comeback!
I'll second everything that is304 said, and just add on two notes:
1. Build up muscle - Increasing your muscle mass will increase your BMR, so you will burn more calories just by existing. This will help to speed along your fat loss when added to a good diet.
2. Cardio - Aim for 3-5hrs of cardio a week to blast some extra calories. I like HIIT training as you can boost the number of calories that you burn without spending as much time on the treadmill.
Good luck
Thanks. I'll working on things.
I agree with the above, but with some corrections:

Building muscle is beneficial in the long term, however I've seen fairly recent research that fat cells can convert testosterone into estrogen. Testosterone plus exercise make your muscles grow, estrogen makes your fat cells grow. So, if you have too much fat (and for most men the magic number is 15%), then the following happens: you exercise, your glands start flooding your system with testosterone, then some of it goes to fat cells, and they convert it to estrogen to grow even more fat cells and less muscles. That's why I would suggest getting body fat under control first. I've been working out like a fanatic for a year and my body fat (and my gut) kept growing until I started controlling my diet. It's not an either or situation, any time you go to the gym and perform a serious workout you build muscle, but for someone who's just starting I'd say to concentrate on losing fat first, even if it means slower muscle gains in the short term - just be persistent and it will pay off later.

Here I'd say either or. Either 3-5 hours of steady state cardio at low to medium pace, or, if you can handle it, HIIT. For steady state even 40-60 minutes of brisk walk few times a week will do - that's how I kept my weight off after my shoulder surgeries. If you want something more advanced, HIIT is the best option if you can handle it, and it should take less time. Right now for my cardio I cycle three HIIT workouts at different resistances (the high intensity phase is longer for lower resistance). This week they are 12 minutes, 14 minutes, and 29 minutes, and that includes 5 minutes of warm-up. They are extremely effective, but also very brutal, and my heart rate goes to 170 and above for about 30 seconds. It took me a couple of months of steady state at high resistance to get ready for them, I think if I tried them right after my long break I'd just drop dead.
If I understand correctly, the difference between steady state and HIIT is this - steady state burns a lot more calories (in part because you can do it for a long time) and it burns fat from fat cells directly. The downside - once you stop, you body goes to business as usual within an hour. HIIT burns glycogen from your muscle, not fat, but when done correctly it boosts your metabolic rate quite significantly for 48-72 hours and that keeps burning fat, so sometimes you burn more calories during and more fat after after 15-30 minutes of HIIT than during 2-3 hours of steady state. As an added bonus, HIIT will build more muscles.

Spectacular alpine scenery for walkers, challenging trails for mountain bikers, warm hospitality and fun for families and the chance to discover the mountain are the draw cards during the Mt Hutt Ski Area's bi-annual open day.
Discover Mt Hutt is a community effort with Methven Lions Club, Mt Hutt ski area staff and the bus drivers of Methven Travel giving their time to welcome visitors to the mountain and to raise money for causes supported by the Methven Lions, this year to include the Methven Aged People's Welfare Association inc and the Ronald McDonald House.
Mt Hutt's massive six-seater chairlift will carry families, walkers, bikes and bikers to the summit where, weather permitting, they will be able to enjoy unrivalled views of the Southern Alps and Canterbury Plains. Visitors will be able to descend on the chairlift or walk or bike down from the summit.
"We're delighted to welcome visitors again to Mt Hutt and support the Methven Lions. We do recommend visitors wear sturdy footwear and we will be providing water stations on the day. As the terrain is steep and erosion likely, riders must descend the summit on the four wheel drive tracks," said ski-field area manager James McKenzie.
For those wishing to see the sights in style, scenic flights in a helicopter will be available from the ski field car park.
Café seating will be open for those wanting to watch proceedings and visitors will be able to enjoy great barbeque food cooked by the Methven Lions.
Admission is $20 per person or $40 for a family. The admission price includes free travel on the chairlift.
The Methven Lions Club was instrumental in the establishment of the ski area in the 1970s. Since then, the club has continued to enjoy a long standing relationship with Mt Hutt.
'It's a totally different mountain in summer and its great to be able open it up for people to enjoy', said Peter Garde, President of the Methven Lions Club.
The access road is open to all vehicles and Methven Travel are running a bus service from their premises in Methven from 9.30am onwards to the base of Mt Hutt. The cost is $20 per person and bookings are essential, phone 0800 684 888
If the weather is unsuitable, the open day will be held the following Sunday on 24th February. Information will be available on the Mt Hutt snow phone (03 308 5074) and at www.nzski.com.

Combining a Battle.net Authenticator and a virtual pet into one seamless design, the Zergotchi will not only be an endless source of fun but will also make sure your account stays as secure and safe as ever – in style. Once attached to your Battle.net
account, your Zergotchi's life begins in its vulnerable egg-state. See it hatch! Be there when it evolves from a tiny, creep-spilling larva into a disgustingly cute Zergotchi, and experience the miracle of creation.
Feed it, play with it, care for it, and give it the love it needs to grow into the monster it was meant to be. Even better, it will display a new authentication code every time you ask. Be sure to keep your pet happy, though! If you don't care for your little friend it will start begging for your attention – and if you let it get unhappy, it'll start giving you partial authentication codes! Can you guess the missing digits? Yes, your Zergotchi is a playful little character.
|Adds an additional layer of security to your account
|Impressive 16-bit display
|Grows according to your play-style
|Intuitive, user-friendly interface
Countless different critter outcomes
Thanks to a unique piece of Blizzard technology - the Advanced Pattern Recognition Integrated Layer™ - your Zergotchi will be able to determine how often you logged in to which game and played with the different
races in order to create your perfect little pet. Playing an orc in World of Warcraft and enjoying some StarCraft II matches as a Terran? Then get ready to meet your little orcish Marine buddy. Or what about an undead Dark
Templar? The possibilities are endless!*
*Possibilities are not endless.
Make new friends
But there's more! With its integrated RL Friend Finder Sensoring System, the Zergotchi will bring your gaming experience to the next level. Whenever you're near someone with a Zergotchi of their own, your little fella will light up and make a noise! What better way to make new in-game and real-life friends than when you are cooing over your little critters together?

195Places brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 116 Designs von 9 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
195Places is a web development sole proprietorship that focuses on creating, marketing and maintaining websites around the world. The name comes from the fact that there are 195 recognized countries in the world. I want to bring our customers website to the world wide audience. Also, I love to travel, so this will also be a brand for a travel blog in the future.
The target audience of the consulting part is corporations and media companies. I have customers like the Smithsonian, Tribeca Film Festival and NBC. I also have a wide variety of technology customers like NetApp, BMC and Cisco. I want it to look fun yet professional. Right in the middle.
I will need different variations of the logo. One to go on the header of my website. Also I would like to have a wide version and a square version, for different needs.
I also will need transparent background versions, as well as versions on black and white backgrounds.
Also, all Photoshop / Illustrator and raw files will be needed as well.
My current website is 195places.com and you can see where the logo will go on the top left. THE COLOR SCHEME IS NOT MANDATORY. PLEASE USE WHAT COLORS YOU WANT TO. I am looking for your creative control. The color scheme you use will dictate my branding.
Idea: One thing I was thinking was have a world globe with the 195 in it and then places to the left. But that is an idea and I would like to see many variations.

Vitamins, protein, and energy—plus the delicious taste of honey.
If you've ever done a 12 hour bike race or a long adventure race, you'd know that gels can only remain appetizing for so long. After a half day of slurping down semi-liquid nutrition products, you'll crave something that you can chew. Honey Stinger Energy Bars "feel" more like normal food, but they offer all of the easy-to-digest attributes of Honey Stinger Energy Gel.
Honey is nature's energy food. The bees that produce it have done the difficult work of transforming it into a just right blend of simple sugars that are easily and quickly digestible for us. This blend of glucose and fructose is 1:1 in honey and is the same as the fruit we eat. That's why honey is such a great endurance nutrition product -- it won't upset your stomach as you eat and continue on with your exertion.
Honey Stinger Energy Bars are made of at least 30% honey and offer 20% of your Daily allowance of protein along with 22 vitamins and minerals, calcium, and antioxidants. They come in a box of 15 bars and are available in four flavors -- Apple Cinammon, Berry Banana Buzz, Peanut Butter 'n Honey, and Rocket Chocolate.

Great taste
Love all of the Honey Stinger products so got these for a trip to Kings Peak and they didn't disappoint. Still prefer the waffles, but these were great for a longer trek.

Sweet and Satisfying
You can really taste the honey in these bars. They're a great on-the-go grab for hiking and camping.

Taste good and provide some quick energy. I was training the other day and felt the dreaded bonk coming on. I at the bar and in about 10 minutes I was hitting the intervals hard again. The texture is a little odd but I really like it. Not too fibrous like some bars can be. The taste is spot on and taste exactly how you would imagine honey and peanut butter. Enjoy

Great taste texture and energy
These bars are some of the best I've had over the years. Worked fantastic for a backpacking quick break snack. No strong bite in the throat, went down very easily. Seemed to metabolize really well with no bad after effects.

Healthy tastes good and great energy
Used this product (honey/peanut butter) and was pleased with he extra energy it gave me on my bike ride and that it is 30% honey so healthy and tasty as well. Two of these bars plus a Clif protein bar kept me going a total of 75 miles!

Super tasty
I keep a few boxes of these around the house at all times. Throw a few in your pack before a hike, or just have one for breakfast on the way to work. Really tasty and good for you. Awesome company.

Delicious!! But...
...why oh why the yogurt coating?! Don't get me wrong, the coating and the bar are delicious. But the yogurt coating melts instantly upon placing in a jersey pocket. So when I open the bar while riding my hands get covered in goo. Yummy goo, but messy! I've only tried the berry banana flavor but all of the flavors appear to have a meltable coating. Like the waffles which are entirely too crumbly to be opened and eaten on the fly, honey stinger makes a delicious and vaguely nutritious (at least all natural?) energy product that misses a key detail: to compete with the likes of Powerbar or Clif, the product can't make a mess when I'm on the bike. Please take a cue from M&M's (melts in your mouth, not in your hand/pocket) or remove the coating entirely.

pretty fly (for a power bar)
Personally, I dread opening power bars. They are no substitute for a real meal, and often turn into "lunch" when my friends and I don't want to stop for longer than a few minutes. This being said, these are as good as power bars ever will be. There are many bars that will cause me to instantly vomit, but these are tasty and can hold me off until I can get my hands on some legit food.

Too Good
Well, Honey Stinger gone off and done it again with an energy product that tastes so good you'll have a hard time saving these for exercise. It's like having a box of candy bars at the ready, so good luck not snacking on them all the time. When I actually manage to save a few to take on rides with me, they taste great all the same, digest quickly (as long as you stay hydrated) and provide long term sustainable energy on the go. Highly recommend Peanut Butter N' Honey, classic taste!

Bomb Blueberry Bar
I have been sporting these bars instead of Clif bars for a few weeks and find that they are easier to chew up and swallow with a few swigs of water and digest easier than a Clif bar, more focused on providing energy instantly via honey that is used in the bar itself. Very tasty

taste great
I like these as an all natural energy pick up. They taste great and provide quick,ample energy. I would eat them with plenty of water though as they do tend to be a little dry.

not appetizing
make sure you have plenty of water on hand, these are dry and not that tasty.
October 30, 2013
hard to swallow
This review will only be for the apple cinnamon flavor, as I trust other reviewers in saying that the other flavors are pretty good. Honey Stinger usually makes pretty good products, I've been impressed with the waffles, protein bars, and chews, but these are another story. I was excited, as apple cinnamon really sounds great, but these aren't good. They're dry, overly dense, don't taste that great, hard to chew and swallow, and they're EXPENSIVE. I can almost get ProBars (taste amazing, tons of nutrition) for as much as these cost, not to mention I could almost get 2X the ClifBars for this price, and they taste better. Not impressed with these, but they do provide energy, albeit not very much. One of my problems with Honey Stinger is that all of their products that are touted as 'energy' products, contain fewer than 200 calories. The calorie is a unit of energy. So put more calories in it. These are meant to sustain you and provide the energy you need to keep at it, not a small snack for in between meals while you watch tv. Not impressed with these bars, and they even look like an ugly grey brick when you open the package.
October 3, 2013
Never really been a big fan of bars. Typically a tough chew to consume. These are a nice consistency, the yogurt bottom helps. I drink a generous amount with all energy products.
July 31, 2013
Berry banana buzz!
Getting a natural "sting" of energy (see what i did there :)) is the best way while outdoors! You can't beat the delicious flavors of these. They are super compact and pack a great deal of energy to get you feeling good and replenished to get your ass up that mountain or down depending on what your doing! Get after it with these delicious snacks!
Greg Adams

Lots of Energy
Great bar for running. It provides nutrients needed and energy to keep you going. It is bulkier than chews so I would go with chews.
June 20, 2013
Great Bars
I now grab these over Cliff Bars because I find them easier to eat and for some reason they keep me from getting hungry longer. I've used them rock climbing, mtb'ing, and hunting and they definitely do the job.

Hess Touts Innovation in Aero Club Remarks
Pratt & Whitney President David P. Hess was the keynote speaker at the Aero Club of Washington's luncheon series earlier today in Washington, D.C. Approximately 150 industry, media and government officials were in attendance for the event.
With National Aerospace Week serving as a backdrop in the nation's capital, Hess highlighted the significant advances in aviation technology, crediting the industry's technical innovation with making flight more efficient. For instance, compared to 2000, fuel efficiency on U.S. domestic flights has improved 40 percent and on international flights it has improved 17 percent.
Hess also noted there could still be major advances ahead within the industry as it matures.
"Driven less by regulation and policy – and more by market forces – we are witnessing a revolution in aviation technology that has the potential to change everything – from the way we fly, to the quality of life in the communities served by our customers," he said.
Hess cited Pratt & Whitney's additive manufacturing capabilities and Geared Turbofan™ technology as examples of long-term investments that not only ensure the company's global competitiveness, but also complement the industry's commitment to make flight greener and more cost-effective.
"When we work together toward the goal of "less", we burn less fuel, produce fewer emissions and create less noise," said Hess in his closing remarks to the audience. "We all benefit from the result."
The Aero Club of Washington is now in its 104th year of bringing the Washington and national aviation community together to share and discuss aviation issues. The organization's mission is to foster and promote interest in the principles and development of aeronautics and to extend honors and hospitalities to eminent airmen.

In General News | Tags: ANN, c++, contour grammar, evolutionary methods, Fraccut, Markov, MSE, multi-state analysis
It's almost mid-March already. I don't like that fact the the samples haven't improved appreciably in a while. As I noted earlier, it's mostly due to the fact that I've been upgrading internals rather than working on sound. Still, it's time to step on it.
Over the past few weeks, I've been working like mad to re-code all the old engines in c++, taking advantage of the massive optimizations possible therein. So far, the following engines are now at least partially-functional as part of the new c++ library:
- Artificial Neural Network Engine (was actually never implemented in AHK and has yet to be used in a plugin)
- Contour Grammar
- Evolutionary Engine
- Fraccut
- Markov Engine
- Multi-State Engine
ALL of the new implementations are better than their predecessors, both in terms of efficiency and ease-of-use. Certain complex engines such as the Markov engine may see speed increases of over a thousand fold thanks to redesigning.
By the end of the month, these myriad engines should be coming together to form some really powerful new plugins. All it takes is code.

- Staycation -- Last week, we shipped the kids up to Camp Grandma in NYC and I took the entire week off. Mrs. Quilt Dad and I thought of some short trips we could take, but decided instead to make it a "staycation" ... meaning a vacation where we don't go anywhere and just stay at home. It's my favorite kind of vacation, actually ... traveling can be so exhausting.
It was a great time, even though I didn't get too much of my sewing commitments completed. (Besides my Doll Quilt Swap responsibilities of course. It seems that one set of parental duties was merely replaced with another ... ! : ) This was also due in part to a major ...
- ... slip-up. I did have every intention of at least working on my July quilting bee commitments, but any sewing momentum that I had was quickly dashed after making a stoopid mistake.
There's only one problem. After finishing the blocks I went back and re-read Tina's directions, and she specifically asked that we not add in any additional fabrics to her selection. D'oh!! I felt terrible. I still haven't yet tried to squeeze a third block out of the remnants of Tina's fabric, but I will.
The bad news is that it killed my sewing mojo for the week. That was last week, and I still haven't gotten it back. The bad news is that tomorrow is July 31, and I still have a BUNCH of July blocks to work on. I also have August fabrics of my own to send out to my SewConnected 3 group, and I haven't even started cutting it yet. Needless to say, I will be tardy this month. I'm going to try to tackle them this weekend ... no promises, but I will try my best. I hope my peeps can all forgive me!
I can't even say that I'll be able to work on stuff tonight, because of my daughter's ...
- Surgery. Yes, one of my daughters is having surgery first thing tomorrow morning. Nothing serious, but it is surgery nonetheless, and she will be receiving anaesthesia. We're driving a couple of hours west to Winston-Salem, which is where she was born and where her surgeon is based. Again, it's nothing serious ... but please keep her in your thoughts and prayers this evening!
- Score! I have been on the lookout for the past year or so for a nice, big work table for cutting and, well, working, but haven't really been able to find anything. I've seen some great tips from other bloggers for making your own tables out of shelving units, door blanks, etc., but I've really been holding out for a big table like Jenny's. Go take a look at that link and marvel in her magical workspace -- you'll be glad you did!
I headed over there one day last week in the hopes of finding a table that might be suitable for my needs and space. My timing was impeccable. They had just gotten in a shipment of 25 work tables recently released from the North Carolina State University School of Design. Ummm, hello? EXACTLY what I wanted.
So I bought 2.
They were $5 apiece.
Granted, they are a little beat up, have tons of creative-student graffitti all over them, and a piece or two of dried gum stuck to the bottom. But I've got big plans for them. I've already bought some glossy white paint and will tackle that project when it cools down a bit.
A true hidden gem. I recommend that you find out if your state has one of these near you!
Finally, this has nothing to do with my blog absence, but I thought I'd share ...
- Singer! Mrs. Quilt Dad and I went to see Jason Mraz in concert last night. He's one of our faves, so it was fun to get out for the night ... even if it meant yet another evening of sewing was put aside ...

leannell necesitaba un nuevo diseño de tema de wordpress y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 16 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
I'm a 27-year old former obese gal turned personal trainer and local fitness expert. I own and run my own non-military style boot camp program in Orlando, Florida.... group personal training in a nutshell. I am also the fitness expert for the local news and have my own segment every Saturday.
You can check it out at http://www.NotYourAverageBootCamp.com
I am now trying to branch out into the information product world and am starting a lifestyle, health, fitness, nutrition, etc blog for women (not just in Orlando anymore)... and ExFatChick is the persona behind the blog.
Women into health, wellness, style, fashion, losing weight, getting fit, women that have struggled with their weight and would relate with a former chubby girl =)
20-55 years old
Women that appreciate an edge-- or the unconventional
Women that are searching for health tips, recipes, fashion, style, getting fit, diets, finding a sense of belonging to a community, entertainment, humor.....
I am looking for a clean, easy-to-read, and eye-popping wordpress blog theme that appeals to women.... but with a bit of an edge... nonconventional
I love the look and feel of these two blogs...
http://thenategreenexperience.com/ ( I really, really love the look and feel of this one)
1. General look and feel
It should be bright, colorful, and somewhat girlie. I have attached an image of a charicature of me (ignore the logo in the image-- that is the logo of my local fitness business-- this project is totally separate)
Also check out http://www.hungry-girl.com to see how the site is a persona rather than an actual person....
Random blurbs about the look and feel:
I like rounded text boxes vs. squared ones.
Basically, if I had a blog that had the look and feel of thenategreenexperience.com/blog but that went with the theme of "the life of an ex fat chick"-- I would be really happy.
No flash
2. Menu and navigation
Customizable navigation bar and some sort of nice looking footer
An opt-in on the top right (just like in nate green blog) for some sort of free report that requires email address and name
Blog entries on left, and all the other stuff in a narrow column on left (like facebook feed, recent entry links, etc)
If some of these details are a little bit ambiguous and you have any questions at all, please feel free to email me or message me and I would be happy to elaborate =)

The Titanfall beta opened up to players on Xbox One yesterday evening, allowing anyone to join without using a beta key. The PC beta will become open soon, added Respawn Entertainment's Vincent Zampella, "maybe" even today.
Major Nelson made the announcement at 9 p.m. EST yesterday, and the beta opened up sometime thereafter. It is then available under the New Game Demos section of the Game Store. In some regions, users may see a link to join the Titanfall beta from the Xbox One home page.
Yesterday evening, as Zampella was handing out keys for the PC beta over Twitter, he said Respawn was angling for a stress test of that platform.
When users asked when that would occur, Zampella said Respawn needed to open the Xbox One beta first, but that PC would follow shortly.
He added that because of the difficulty those with beta keys had in playing the game on Friday, the beta period will be extended a day. It was originally planned to end on Wednesday.

The Express Hits 66
Reggie Jackson, on facing Nolan Ryan: "Every hitter likes a fastball, just like everybody likes ice cream. But you don't like it stuffed into you by the gallon."
Elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility, Nolan Ryan was inducted on July 25, 1999 wearing a Rangers cap on his Hall of Fame plaque. Nolan was elected to the Hall of Fame on 98.79% of the eligible ballots, a figure which remains the second highest in history. He is the only player to ever have his uniform number retired by three different teams with the Angels (#30) and Astros (#34) joining the Rangers.


text: The water in Baltimore's Inner Harbor is giving off a very fishy odor. Wondering why? If nutrient levels are high enough, warming waters can sustain increased numbers of microscopic plants or algae. Nutrient runoff from our recent spring rains fueled a brown algae bloom in the inner harbor giving the water a mahogany color last week. Algae has a short life span, and as it dies oxygen is consumed and is no longer available for other organisms in the water column. At this point, fish and other animals that cannot escape the low oxygen zones die. These are commonly referred to as "dead zones" which cause fish kills, and the bad smell over the weekend. The bacteria then devours the dead fish killed by oxygen depletion, fueling more bad odors. Some animals, like jellies require very little oxygen and manage to live through these dead zone events. This is part of the reason jellies populations are thriving in bodies of water around the world. These excess nutrients that cause the algae blooms can come from a variety of sources including fertilizer, storm water runoff, and even atmospheric deposition. So what can be done about it? The National Aquarium is actively working to improve the water quality of the Bay by restoring vital habitats like tidal wetlands. These habitats remove excess nutrients, help prevent flooding and provide important habitat to the animals that live there. You can volunteer – check it out!

"Good"? Wells had allowed single runs to the Yankees in the first, second, third and fourth innings, throwing away a 3-1 lead. After a perfect fifth, he gave up singles to the first two hitters in the sixth. After getting an out, he got what sure seemed to me like a well-deserved hook.
Francona's call to the pen did not work out, however. Chad Bradford walked Derek Jeter and allowed back-to-back singles to Bernie Williams and Alex Rodriguez. Then Mike Myers surrendered a single to Jason Giambi. New York led at that point 8-3. The Red Sox quickly rallied, scoring a run and loading the bases with one out in the seventh. But Jason Varitek grounded into a double play against Tom Gordon.
It was a frustrating game: the Sox did very little with Aaron Small, they made four errors in the field, and we were reminded that we have the worst base coach in major league baseball. Jorge Posada: I can't believe Dale Sveum sent him because the ball was in Jeter's hand when he was not even rounding third yet. There was nothing [Varitek] could do. I was right in front of the plate. There was nothing he could do but try to go through me."
And to any Yankee fans reading this, please note that on the home plate collision, Posada did not take his mask off. ... Oh, the horror!!
This series is also The Battle of the T-Shirts:
Red Sox (Millar): Front: "F Everyone"I had the ESPN feed last night. One nice thing about the opening: zero pictures of George H. Ruth.
Back: "2005 Sox -- All We Have Is Each Other"
[Bill Reynolds says (correctly) that the slogan is 100% wrong.]
Yankees (Posada/Yoda): Front: "Grind It"
Back: "There is no trying. There is only doing or not doing."
Rick Sutcliffe did not disappoint. On Jeter, in the third: "He covers so much ground and does it so gracefully." ... On the Sox offense: "They are scoring just under seven runs a game for Wells" as on-screen graphic shows Wells leading AL with 8.07 runs per start. ... While Boston bats in the 6th inning: "Does anything change with Jeter? Has he ever felt pressure?"
I had to mute the game for whole innings at a time because of the nonsense, which included exaggerated and cliched praise for Boston players also. After awhile, I clicked on the sound with the Yankees batting and heard Sut in mid-sentence: "... know what it takes to win ..." Priceless.
Other Stuff: Wade Miller threw 60 pitches in the bullpen on Friday and may start for Portland (AA) in an Eastern League playoff game on Sunday. "I was letting it go. It was 100 percent. It was probably the best I've felt in a long time." After a session last Wednesday, Miller said: I can help out in a late run for us, and hopefully, in the playoffs. I don't see why not."
The Schillings are providing housing for a New Orleans family of nine (seven children between ages 5 and 12). ... David Ortiz pledged $50,000 to Hurricane Katrina victims.
Murray Chass -- still bitter knowing his Yankees choked away the 2004 pennant -- finds a part-time security supervisor who worked for the Red Sox last year and did not get a ring. That's worth 991 words to the New York Times.
Before the Yankees series, Boston pitchers pitched at least eight innings four times in five days: Clement (8, Saturday), Wells (9, Sunday), Schilling (6.1, Monday), Wakefield (9, Tuesday) and Arroyo (8, Wednesday). ... The last time that happened for the Sox? 1993. ... The Red Sox are the only AL team with four pitchers that have at least 12 victories: Tim Wakefield (15), Matt Clement (13), Bronson Arroyo (12) and David Wells (12). Only two teams -- Cleveland and the White Sox -- have as many as three 12-game winners.
New Yankee Mark Bellhorn is hitting .091 (1-for-11) with a homer and two RBI; Alan Embree has a 7.65 ERA in 16 appearances.
Boston leads the Yankees by three games with 22 to play. ... Schilling / Chacon at 1:20.

pip hancock necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 35 diseños de 16 diseñadores freelance.
I worked in advertising - in agencies and in film production companies - doing TV production (which included radio, cinema, online). I have also worked on feature films.
I have worked at the best ones: BBH, Mother, HHCL etc.
That was before kids!
Now I work from home. I retrained to handle the more office based work, not as glamorous ! but just as important.
Large and small advertising agencies, film production companies (that may now be taking on the full service of commercial production) and potentially the client (the advertiser) themselves.
my competitors are:
an attractive, friendly and quirky logo.
.....not sure about having a shrimp in logo design. the name shrimp came about because my company will remain small (me plus freelancers when req'd). the company it is diligent and industrious.
However, I attach a ref for the character from Nemo - a cleaner shrimp. I like his personality.
....perhaps there could be some relevance in the antenna of shrimp and a (old) tv?
otherwise, something random, unconnected with the name shrimp.
I like abstract art - so a portion of Picasso-esque could be fun.
I attach some refs.
