Mage's guide to flasks and potions
April 04, 2008, 09:43:23 AM »
I found this on the official wow forums. It probably applies to locks and other caster classes but was written for mages.
Taken from
There are actually several different flasks raiding mages can use, it will be up to you to determine which is best for your spec and needs.
Flask of Pure Death
- By far the best increase to dps for Fire and Frost mages. +80 Fire/Frost/Shadow Dmg 43 dps increase.
Flask of Blinding Light
- The Arcane version of Pure Death, much like that great Greek hero, you will be able to easily blind your enemies and take their lewtz. +80 Arcane/Nature/Holy Dmg.
Flask of Supreme Power
- Sometimes you're a bit broke for the better flasks, sometimes you're so leet you only need +70. We won't judge you. +70 Spell Dmg 38 dps increase.
Flask of Distilled Wisdom
- Not a very offense based flask, but does provide a nice increase to one's mana pool. Also for deep Arcane spec'd mages, this flask give ~75 int, ~18 spell damage, 1125 mana, and ~1% crit. +65 Intellect.
Shattrath Flask of Supreme Power
- Obtained from either the Scryer or Aldor bank via Mark of the Illidari once you are Exalted with Cenarion Expedition, the Sha'tar and Scryers/Aldor. +70 Spell Dmg.
Flask of Mighty Restoration
- If you have to wand for the last 80% of a boss fight, this may be the flask for you. +25 mp5.
Shattrath Flask of Mighty Restoration
- Obtained from either the Scryer or Aldor bank via Mark of the Illidari once you are Exalted with Cenarion Expedition, the Sha'tar and Scryers/Aldor. +25 mp5.
Unstable Flask of the Sorcerer
- Very good, cheap way to not only boost damage but also your other stats! Only usable in Gruul's Lair. +20int/+30stam/+23 Spell Dmg. 14 dps increase.
If you so choose to do so, you may dual elixir during raids instead of flasking, but it's best to have both a battle elixir and a guardian elixir up for every pull.
Adept's Elixir (Battle)
- The added crit can be helpful, and is quite tempting considering none of the above flasks feature crit. A solid and cheap elixir choice. +24 Spell Dmg+/24 Spell Crit 20 dps increase.
Elixir of Major Firepower (Battle)
- +55 Fire Damage, the elixir that dreamed the dreams of flasks. 30 dps increase.
Elixir of Major Frost Power (Battle)
- +55 Frost Damage, same as above but frostier.
Greater Arcane Elixir (Battle)
- Straight up +35 Spell Damage, good if you hate crit and want 11 more damage than Adept's.
Elixir of Mastery (Battle)
- What? You can sustain 1500 dps but you only have 3k health? +15 stats for you then.
Elixir of Major Mageblood (Guardian)
- Excellent choice to go with any of the battle elixirs. Obviously they had to bleed an Arc mage since it's +16mp5.
Elixir of Empowerment (Guardian)
- Interesting elixir, though not very useful on raid bosses. Reduces targets resistances by 30.
Elixir of Major Fortitude (Guardian)
- Not just for meat shields, quite useful if you need a little extra health. +250 health and 10 health per 5 seconds.
Elixir of Draenic Wisdom (Guardian)
- +30 int/spirit, very good way to improve your mana bar while adding a bit of crit.
Oils persist through death and now last 1 hour and are a very effective way to boost your stats.
Superior Wizard Oil
- By far the cheapest and easiest to obtain. +42 spell damage.
Superior Mana Oil
- Alternative to wizard oil, +14mp5 for you wand spec'd mages.
Brilliant Wizard Oil
- Pre-TBC oil, this version is in my opinion superior to Superior Wizard Oil though much more expensive and quite difficult to find. Requires Zandalar Tribe (ZG) - Honored to learn this recipe.+36 spell damage/+14 spell crit.
Foods are a great way to buff needed stats without hurting your gold sack. I'll list a few useful foods, but keep in mind there are several foods with different names that have the same effects.
Blackened Basilisk
- 23 spell damage.
Crunchy Serpent
- 23 spell damage.
Poached Bluefish
- 23 spell damage.
Blackened Sporefish
- 20 stamina and 8mp5.
Skullfish Soup
- 20 spell crit.
Feltail Delight
- 20 stamina.
Buzzard Bites
- 20 stamina.
Spicy Crawdad
- 30 stamina.
Fisherman's Feast
- 30 stamina.
One is expected to carry a suitable amount of both Mana and Healing potions, but here I'll be listing some other things you can gulp down during raids.
Super Rejuvenation Potion
- 1650 to 2750 Health AND Mana. Superior in almost every way to other healing/mana potions.
Major Dreamless Sleep Potion
- My personal favourite, restores 3600 health and mana over 12 seconds. Sadly, it incapacitates you for those 12 seconds and can only be broken by damage, dispelling or waiting. Use with caution, as stunning yourself can be dangerous.
Fel Mana Potion
- Restores 3200 mana over 24 seconds but reduces spell damage by 25 for 15 minutes. This debuff stacks up to 10 times and will persist through death.
Destruction Potion
- Increases spell crit by 2% and spell damage by 120, uses your potion CD. Great for when you don't really need your CD and you most likely won't be taking any unexpected damage.
- Not a potion, but it shares the mana gem/healthstone CD. +80 fire damage for 1 minute.

Just a note:
Mad Alchemists Potions (alchemy only) do the same as a Super Rejuvenation potion but give a random elixir buff as well (pretty sure it over rides an existing buff which kinda sucks but not sure)

| 6.5°C Belfast
Detectives trying to solve the mystery of a young mother who went missing without trace in 1991 have specialist search teams combing an area of woodland near a river.
Officers investigating the disappearance of Nicola Payne have today started searching a small patch of ground on a nature reserve near the River Sowe in Coventry, West Midlands Police said.
The search comes two months after detectives arrested two 49-year-old men on suspicion of the abduction and murder of the 18-year-old after she went missing while on a five-minute walk to her parents' house.
Both men have since been bailed, along with a 51-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice, while inquiries continue.
Despite police efforts and repeated public appeals by both her parents and son Owen down the years, no trace of Ms Payne has ever been been found.
The current search activity on the land off Dunrose Close - which is two miles from where the young mother was last seen alive - comes just two months after detectives on the case announced their hopes of a forensic "breakthrough", with the arrests following days later at the end of 2013.
West Midlands Police said its officers were today carrying out a preliminary search within a cordoned off area and were seen using equipment including metal detectors to comb the ground.
Detective inspector Martin Slevin, who is leading the inquiry into Ms Payne's disappearance, said: "The area of land being looked at is as a result of ongoing inquiries into the disappearance of Nicola in December 1991.
"At this stage it is a preliminary search of an area of interest to us."
He added Ms Payne's family were aware of the search.
It is more than 22 years since Ms Payne left her seven-month-old son with her boyfriend to make the short journey across a patch of waste ground from his home in Winston Avenue to her parents' in Woodway Close in the Wood Hill area of Coventry on December 14, 1991.
Last year, detectives announced they had gone back over all of the original evidence and had sent away a number of samples for detailed forensic analysis with modern techniques including, among others, scrutiny by a DNA specialist and an expert in pollen and fine particles.
Mr Slevin, speaking at the time, described the move as an exciting development.
He added: "We will not give up exploring every opportunity to solve this case."
In 2012, to mark the 21st anniversary of Ms Payne's disappearance, police re-appealed for information on two men who were spotted near where she was last seen, and who have never been traced.
A £10,000 reward for information leading to the whereabouts of Ms Payne remains in place.
Anyone with information about her disappearance should contact Coventry Police on 101 or call Crimestoppers confidentially on 0800 555111.

I think I'll try to post some after pictures of at least my room today!!! As for the toy loft? Eh, it can stay messy. I clean it up a couple times a week and re-bin everything and last week Graham offered to help and did most of it himself! But I have three cute kids who make messes like kids do. How sad would I be if I had to walk upstairs everyday wishing those three bedrooms had children in them? Dan and I joke that we've filled the rooms and now we are done having kids! But really, my heart is full of gratitude that each of those rooms holds one of our sweet little ones and all of their messes!

Now that is a REAL house! Can I tell you how much I love and adore you for showing that dresser?
You my dear, are my hero! I think everyone else cleaned up before they took their photo--you know like how people clean before the maid comes!
Thanks so much!

Our stairs ALWAYS have at least two piles - one waiting for the journey down, and one waiting for the trek up. Funny ~ I walk by them 10s of times a day and LEAVE them right there!!

Now thats a house that has kids! Welcome to my world... I think Madison takes pride in her Barbies laid out across the house. She like to show off how many she has... oh if we only had a button that we could push and it would all find its way back to the playroom! We would be rich indeed! Thanks for sharing, Susie H

I love it. I got a big laugh out of the basket on the stairs that no one uses but you (I've got the same phenomenon in my house--why is this so difficult to grasp, folks??).
When I asked my daughter to clean up her toys yesterday, she asked, "Why? I'll just get them all back out anyway." That sums up life with children right there. -Julia :-)

I've thought about getting one of those stair baskets but haven't because I KNOW that I'll be the only one who uses it...especially since I'm the only one who actually brings up the stuff that is piled on the stairs!

I loved that you showed your home the way it's really used. My friend and I were talking on the phone the other day saying the saye thing, "Why are trying to make it appear as if our homes aren't lived in and there aren't kids who live here?" Someday we'll be sad when there aren't toys and little clothes and shoes around!

I'm back - Just have to say that your blog was one of my absolute favorites today.
Thanks for peeking in on my blog, as well! Today was so stinking fun!!! Who knew looking at other people's imperfections - and airing our own - could be so energizing! You wouldn't believe how many unphotographed piles have disappeared today.
Will be peeking in again!

The joys of a two-story home. I always have piles at the top and bottom of the stairs. (I like the basket idea, but I'm afraid I would be the only one who utilized it.)
Great post. Just goes to show you are human!

Oh my goodness! I think you could have taken all those very same pictures at my house! I have the very same stair basket with the very same problem! (I think it's kind of like how I'm the only one who knows what the laundry basket is actually for!) I also have a matching corner of the master bedroom filled with fabric and various other craft supplies. Not neatly organized or anything, just piled there!

I am so glad to see those pictures. It just reassures yourself that there are other people out there that don't have a perfect home all the time. But I am sure it only looks that way once in a while. Love it!

I just found your blog through Nester's. I'm so glad, it's great! I love your oh-so-real pictures. I think anyone with kids can relate to the creepy toy mess. Some days I swear I'm going to throw away every little bit of plastic junk that I find.

I love your REAL pictures. I have to admit I made sure things wern't too dirty before I took pictures. How fun to have a play loft, and I love the basket on your stairs. I think everyhouse has somewhere things get piled on, ours is the piano, probobly not so good for the sound :)

Don't get Kate Bosworthed
Glee's Dianna Agron is dating Alex Pettyfer. Click here to see the photos of them together late summer being happy. If I were her though, I'd look out. Or maybe it's happened already. I call it the Kate Bosworth Method. Bosworth tried it on Jim Sturgess and failed, she tried it on Alexander Skarsgard and it worked, leveraging a name for fame, and Camilla Belle is very, very familiar with this game too.
It's how she worked her friend Robert Pattinson, who was oblivious, into a few lunch dates last year and – shockingly – the paps were around each time. Same situation with Joe Jonas. Belle is an opportunist. Trust. So when I see her with Alex Pettyfer, pictured yesterday after yet another lunch, and photographers just happened to be lurking, well, clearly she's not unaware that Alex, the lead in what could become a major franchise with the backing of Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay, will be making a big splash in 2011 with the release of I Am Number Four.
This is the work of a typical Why Is.

MAGIX is famous for producing powerful music creation software that can be used by beginners and advanced musicians, and even non-musicians, alike. Anyone who has used previous versions of Music Maker will be aware of how the program works. Rather than requiring you to start completely from scratch when it comes to music creation, you are instead provided with a series of building blocks that can be pieced together to create music of any style.
If you want to get creative, but simply don't know where to start, or don't have access to instruments of your own, there are more than 1,500 loops and samples to choose from in the app - if this isn't enough, head to the online sound archive where you'll find an additional 2,000 sounds. The program also includes Lead Synth that can be used to create melodies, but the effects and filter can also be used to create all manner of interesting sounds. There's also a drum machine on hand to help you create the perfect backbeat, while the Loop Designer enable you to create your own loops rather than relying on premade samples.
You are not limited to working with sounds that are included with the program or have been created by other people and made available online. MAGIX Music Maker also gives you the option of working with real instruments, or plugging in a microphone to record vocal tracks. Used a recording studio in this way, you can turn to MAGIX Music Maker to record and use samples played on your own instruments, or you can record entire instrumental tracks and them add special effects and other samples.
The latest generation of music creation software from MAGIX includes a cloud component that can be used to make your music creations available online. You can store projects in secure online space so you can access and edit them from any computer with an internet connection, and you also have the option of sharing creations online through the likes of YouTube and Facebook. The new range of MX (or Media-X-change) title also makes it easier to share data between applications - create a piece of music in Music Maker MX and it can be shared to other MAGIX apps.
This Premium edition of Music Maker MX (v18) includes more than 2,000 additional sounds and loops as well as impressively realistic guitar sounds and an electric bass instrument. While the standard version of the software allows for up to 64 tracks in a project, the Premium edition allows for up to 96. There are also a number of additional features including an analog compressor and synthesiser, a copy of Music Editor 3 that can be used to edit samples, and the ability to mix your tracks in 5.1 surround sound.
Note that the trial version will work for 7 days (but can be extended to 30 days after registration).
A wonderfully easy to use program that opens up the world of music to a whole new audience - you'll be surprised at what you are capable of.

Eggnog is kind of a love it or leave it food.
Personally, I don't know how to feel about it.
First, I get reallyomgexcited about it, and then I get home and have a sip and I'm like whyyyyyy does this creation exisssssst? So nogggyyyyy.
I mean, I like the flavor. But thinking about gulping it kind of gives me the heebie geebies.
So I figured I needed to implement the classic flavor of eggnog in a less-noggy, more-likey kind of way. Popcorn seemed like the perfect vessel for said idea.
Of course, you guys know me far too well and know I can't leave popcorn as popcorn or eggnog as eggnog. Or even eggnog popcorn as eggnog popcorn.
I added Twix and toffee in the mix because that's what logical anti-eggnog drinkers do when they desperately want that spicy, sweet, nog flavor without feeling like they're chugging wet concrete. Amiriiiiite?
Enter Eggnog Toffee Twix Popcorn. It's a doozy, people.
Even you 'nog naysayers will like it. Pretty promise.
About 8 cups popped kettle corn, kernels removed
1 pkg Wilton Eggnog candy melts
About 8 miniature Twix bars, roughly chopped
About 1 cup toffee baking bits
1. Line a flat, clean work space with wax paper. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, melt the candy melts according to package directions until smooth.
2. Pour the popcorn and chopped Twix into the candy melts and gently stir to coat thoroughly. Spread the coated popcorn in an even layer onto the wax paper and sprinkle liberally with toffee bits.
3. Allow the popcorn to set, about 30 minutes, before breaking into pieces and storing airtight. Bag these up in cellophane bags and they'd make excellent gifts!
Eggnog is such a classic Christmas flavor, whether or not you like it traditionally as a drink. This popcorn will please both nog lovers and haters. The spicy, sweet, rum+nutmeg flavor of the eggnog candy melts coats the sweet + salty kettle corn perfectly, giving the noggy flavor a new texture. The addition of the chocolatey, crunchy Twix and buttery toffee bits are unexpected wildcard flavor pairings that aid the eggnog in another layer of sweetness but also another texture with the smooth crunch. This popcorn is, in a word, awesome!
Happy Wednesday!
xo, Hayley

With director Jon M. Chu's G.I. Joe: Retaliation opening June 29, Paramount has been amping up the promotional campaign by debuting a ton of character posters and a great looking trailer. As a fan of the first film, I'll admit the sequel looks even better and it's rocking a great cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, Channing Tatum, Walton Goggins, Ray Park, Byung-hun Lee, Elodie Yung, RZA, Ray Stevenson, and D.J. Cotrona.
At this year's CinemaCon, I got to speak with Adrianne Palicki (Lafy Jaye) and D.J. Cotrona (Flint). They talked about their reaction to the new trailer and five-minute sizzle reel, the tone of the film, the action, and more. In addition, with the Red Dawn remake getting released later this year, I asked Palicki is she had seen the finished film. Hit the jump to watch.
Finally, if you missed my extended video interviews with Dwayne Johnson or director Jon M. Chu, just click the links.
Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona
- What did they think of the new trailer and the 5 minute sizzle reel
- They talk about the tone they were going for on set and how they were going for a more realistic take
Did director Jon M. Chu give them an issue of the comic or an episode of the cartoon and said "this is what I'm going for."
- Was there an action set piece that presented a lot of challenges
- Red Dawn talk

It has become pretty customary to have The Fireman work either Christmas or Christmas Eve. Our kids being older, we just reschedule the holiday, having our Christmas dinner either on Christmas eve or night depending which night he is off. I try to make something special if he is working Christmas day for the kids even if we have celebrated the day before. Put appetizers out on the bar all day. Little snack foods that we can pick at. Last year I tried my hand at a new cinnamon roll recipe, taking trays to The Fireman and family. This recipe makes a TON so if you are not going to share with family I recommend that you half the recipe which I should have done even with passing it out. I could have given it to every neighbor and still had leftovers. I also didn't follow her recipe to a tee. I don't know why that surprises you, but she covers her rolls with a maple coffee icing and frankly that didn't appeal to me. And even after making just a standard icing I would the next time cut down on the amount of sugar she
(I) puts in the inside. They were just too sweet for my liking, but The Fireman ate an entire tray. So that could just be me.
PW Cinnamon Rolls done my way (of course)
recipe adapted by Ree Drummond
Pioneer Woman Cooks
1 quart Whole Milk
1 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Sugar
2 packages Active Dry Yeast, 0.25 Ounce Packets
8 cups (Plus 1 Cup Extra, Separated) All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon (heaping) Baking Powder
1 teaspoon (scant) Baking Soda
1 Tablespoon (heaping) Salt
Plenty Of Melted Butter
2 cups Sugar
Generous Sprinkling Of Cinnamon
1 bag Powdered Sugar
2 teaspoons Maple Flavoring
½ cups Milk
¼ cups Melted Butter
¼ cups Brewed Coffee
⅛ teaspoons Salt
Pioneers Directions:
For the dough, heat the milk, vegetable oil, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat to just below a boil. Set aside and cool to warm. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit on the milk for 1 minute.
Add 8 cups of the flour. Stir until just combined, then cover with a clean kitchen towel, and set aside in a relatively warm place for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the towel and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining 1 cup flour. Stir thoroughly to combine. Use the dough right away, or place in a mixing bowl and refrigerate for up to 3 days, punching down the dough if it rises to the top of the bowl. (Note: dough is easier to work with if it's been chilled for at least an hour or so beforehand.)
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
To assemble the rolls, remove half the dough from the pan/bowl. On a floured baking surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 30 x 10 inches. The dough should be rolled very thin.
To make the filling, pour 3/4 cup to 1 cup of the melted butter over the surface of the dough. Use your fingers to spread the butter evenly. Generously sprinkle half of the ground cinnamon and 1 cup of the sugar over the butter. Don't be afraid to drizzle on more butter or more sugar! Gooey is the goal.
Now, beginning at the end farthest from you, roll the rectangle tightly towards you. Use both hands and work slowly, being careful to keep the roll tight. Don't worry if the filling oozes as you work; that just means the rolls are going to be divine. When you reach the end, pinch the seam together and flip the roll so that the seam is face down. When you're finished, you'll wind up with one long buttery, cinnamony, sugary, gooey log.
Slip a cutting board underneath the roll and with a sharp knife, make 1/2-inch slices. One "log "will produce 20 to 25 rolls. Pour a couple of teaspoons of melted butter into disposable foil cake pans and swirl to coat. Place the sliced rolls in the pans, being careful not to overcrowd. (Each pan will hold 7 to 9 rolls.)
Repeat the rolling/sugar/butter process with the other half of the dough and more pans. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cover all the pans with a kitchen towel and set aside to rise on the countertop for at least 20 minutes before baking. Remove the towel and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Don't allow the rolls to become overly brown.
While the rolls are baking, make the maple icing: In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, butter, coffee, and salt. Splash in the maple flavoring. Whisk until very smooth. Taste and add in more maple, sugar, butter, or other ingredients as needed until the icing reaches the desired consistency. The icing should be somewhat thick but still very pourable.
Remove pans from the oven. Immediately drizzle icing over the top. Be sure to get it all around the edges and over the top. As they sit, the rolls will absorb some of the icing's moisture and flavor. They only get better with time… not that they last for more than a few seconds.
(I used a lid), and set aside in a relatively warm place for 1 hour.
(or lid) and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the remaining 1 cup flour. Stir thoroughly to combine.
(Personally I think it is too much butter and next time would use less)
(Mind you Mrs Pioneer Woman is not cleaning up this mess. After I cleaned up for the second roll, I made less mess for the second roll)
(I didnt use a cutting board)

For some reason,
gitk always starts under all other apps.
How to make it start on top of all other apps, like a normal program?
Start it from the terminal with the
gitk command, which lives in
/usr/bin. There is no icon to click on...maybe need to create one?
Or is there a way to tell the OS to start it on top of all others? Perhaps with applescript?

For all you diehard Ramones fans, the great Johnny Ramone will finally have his autobiography released, posthumously by his wife Linda. This should shed some epic light on many of the stories surrounding one of the greatest and most influential punk bands to ever take the stage.
NEW YORK — Eight years after he died of prostate cancer, Johnny Ramone's autobiography is finally being published.
"Commando: The Autobiography of Johnny Ramone" is set for release April 2 by Abrams Image. In an interview Tuesday, his widow, Linda, described the book as "kind of his last word that he knew would be out."
|Johnny Ramone of the punk rock group The Ramones speaks after the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York in 2002.
"It is a really powerful book because his whole life has gone before him and he knows it's going to come to an end, and he really needs to tell everybody what he's feeling inside, so that's what makes it so amazing," she added later. "That is the biggest, most powerful thing, writing a book when you know you're dying."
Johnny Ramone, whose real name was John Cummings, was one of the founding members of the legendary New York City-based punk band the Ramones, members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Considered one of the most influential guitarists in rock, he died in 2004 at age 55 after battling cancer for five years.
Linda Ramone said he started writing the book when he first became ill: "Johnny's legacy to him was so important, even while he was sick. ... It was like he knew he was dying, and he wanted to do something."
The 176-page book is filled with pictures selected by his wife. It includes Ramone's musings from his childhood to his struggle with cancer. It also features other personal stories, including the attack on him that left him hospitalized, his altercation with Malcolm McLaren and his romance with Linda, who once dated Joey Ramone, the Ramones' frontman, leading to a yearslong rift between the two musicians.
"It's whatever people make out of it. I guess it was some sort of love triangle — Joey, Johnny and me. It happened, and of course he talks about it and he talks about how he feels about it," Linda said. "The three of us all probably have a different story, but this is Johnny's story."
Band mate Tommy Ramone, the only surviving member of the original band, wrote the foreword. In a statement, he said: "Johnny Ramone's autobiography is a no holds barred, straight-forward book written in a no-nonsense style that is Johnny personified. His story is written in his own actual words, so the reader gets an insight into what made him the unique, charismatic and exciting individual that he was. It also gives a great view of The Ramones from Johnny's perspective."
The epilogue was written by close friend Lisa Marie Presley.
Linda Ramone said the book was originally planned to have interviews with Ramone's friends, but she decided to only include her husband's words.
"It didn't make Johnny Ramone's book more powerful by having other people in the book talking about him," she said. "This is nobody else's story. This is Johnny Ramone's story, talking about Johnny Ramone."
She said several factors were responsible for the delay in the book's release, including lawsuits involving the band after Ramone died and other projects she was undertaking for his fans.
"Between all those years of doing different things for his legacy, I always had the book. But there was never the right time for the book," she said.
Linda said her husband never stopped working on the book, even during chemotherapy treatments.
"He wasn't feeling well all the time, but that never stopped Johnny," she said. "Johnny was indestructible."
She hopes to publish another book of photos of Ramone, and hopes the book will lead to a Ramones biopic.
"This is the first book I can honestly see that really has enough in it to make it such an interesting story, because this is Johnny talking about Johnny," she said. "No Ramone movie could be as cool as Johnny's story."

Taking you through the Cubs minor leagues on Thursday, July 26.
The AZL Cubs lost a rough one on Thursday to the Ranger 5-4. Leading most of the night, the Cubs gave up two in the eight, one in the ninth, and one in the tenth to blow what appeared to be a win. Those relievers who struggled were Ryan Hartman, Nathan Dorris, and losing pitcher Daniel Adrian. It wasn't all bad on the mound as Carl Lang and Ethan Elias each pitched three solid innings combing to strike out seven and surrender only one run on four hits. Every night we look forward to seeing how Albert Almora and Jorge Soler and tonight was no different. Almora started strong with hit first double, but ended the night 1-for-5. Soler ended the night 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base. Garrett Schlecht had a night he won't forget as he hit his first home run of his professional career, a two-run shot in the fourth. Shawon Dunston Jr. stayed hot adding two more hits, raising his average to .296. Carlos Penalver also had two hits and Jacob Rogers added a double. The AZL Cubs havn't had too many disappointments, but tonight was one of them.
Boise lost a low scoring game to Yakima 1-0. Although there was only one run scored there was plenty of excitement in this one as there were ejections and the benches almost cleared. It all started a few nights ago when Wilson Contreras was bowled over twice and then was hit by a pitch in this game. Starting pitcher Jose Arias took exception and retaliated hitting a Bears player in the seventh. Arias and manager Mark Johnson were promtly ejected. Things didn't end there though. Contreras found his way on and bowled over the Yakima catcher and on his way back to the dugout had words for the Bears dugout. Benches almost cleared and Contreras was ejected from the game. Back to the baseball part of it. Jose Arias pitched quite well taking the tough loss on Thursday. He gave up one run on three hits in six innings, he also walked two and struck out three. Michael Hamann and Eduardo Orozco combined to pitch three innings of scoreless baseball in relief. Offensively there wasn't much to talk about. The highlights were Marco Hernandez having two hits and Daniel Vogelbach getting another hit.
Peoria scored early and it held up as they beat Cedar Rapids 7-2. The Chiefs got two in the first, one in the third, and three more in the fourth to get an early lead. Javier Baez had a nice night once again going 2-for-2 with a double, two runs scored, and two RBIs. Zeke DeVoss and Yaniel Cabezas also had twho hits with DeVoss driving a run and scoring two. Chadd Krist continued his great performance at the plate adding another hit, his sixth double and driving in two runs. On the mound Michael Jensen was at it again winning his ninth game of the year. He pitched six solid innings, surrendering two runs on four hits, while striking out six and walking zero. Larry Suarez and Bryce Shafer finished this one off pitched three scoreless innings to end the game.
Daytona outlasted Bradenton beating them 9-7 in a high scoring battle. The Cubs offense had a few big innings, scoring three in the second, the fourth, and two in the seventh. Offensively they were led by Rafael Lopez who was 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBIs. Lopez was not the only Cubs player to have a big night as John Andreioli was 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBIs, four runs scored, and his 36th steal of the year. Matt Szczur added two hits and he also drove in a pair, raising his average to .295. Rubi Silva and Elieser Bonne each had two hits as well and Bonne drove in two on the evening. Austin Kirk started and got the win, his fifth of the year. He allowed four runs on six hits in six innings, walking five and striking out three. Ryan Searle pitched the last three holding on the record his first save of the season.
Despite scoring four Tennessee dropped the game to Jacksonville losing 6-4. Dallas Beeler started, but did not factor in the decision allowing four runs, three earned and striking out eight in five innings pitched. Tony Zych took the loss as he allowed two runs in his two innings of work. On the bright side, there were some nice things that happened at the plate. Junior Lake stayed hot going 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI. Justin Bour and Greg Rohan each connected for a home run on Thursday. Nate Samson added three hits of his own. In an unfortunate accident Jae-Hoon Ha had to leave the game early on a stretcher after he hit his head on a cement wall wall that had no padding. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jae-Hoon and hope to have good news on this soon. We will keep you updated as we know more.
How many different ways can Iowa find to lose, because it seems like they find a new one every night. After having a lead most of the night they gave up a single run in the fifth and six to tie the game. After scoring two in the tenth, they gave up three to lose 6-5. Michael Bowden to the loss allowing all three runs in the tenth. Casey Coleman was solid pitching 5.2 innings giving up three runs on seven hits. Jay Jackson pitched well in relief allowing no runs in his two innings of work. The Cubs were led by James Adduci at the plate having his best game in Iowa. He went 4-for-5 with a home run, double, a run scored, and two RBIs. Josh Vitters was the other bright spot from the offense going 3-for-4 with a double, triple, and a run batted in. Nothing is going right for Iowa at this time, hope they can turn it around and end the year on a high note, but only time will tell.
Thanks for Reading,

David Dante Troutt is professor of law (Justice John J. Francis Scholar ) and the founding director of the Rutgers Center on Law in Metropolitan Equity (CLiME). He teaches and writes in four areas of primary interest: the metropolitan dimensions of race, class and legal structure; intellectual property; Torts; and critical legal theory. His major publications (noted below) include books of fiction and non-fiction, scholarly articles and a variety of legal and political commentary on race, law and equality. A member of the faculty since 1995 after practicing corporate and public interest law in New York and California, Troutt founded CLiME in 2013 in order to provide a research resource for students and the public interested in the growing challenges of municipalities and families trying to sustain middle-class outcomes amid growing fiscal constraints and rapid demographic change.
Several themes characterize Troutt's work. A key feature of his writing and teaching about the intersections of race, class and place concerns identifying blind spots in conventional analyses of spatially determined opportunity through structuralist and interdisciplinary analysis. This work involves inquiries about meanings of colorblindness, the role of inequity in persistent marginalization, and the utility of civil rights theories in addressing concentrated poverty. Troutt is conducting ongoing research on developing the principle of mutuality in public law. Key themes in Troutt's writing about intellectual property include personhood and authorship in copyright and trademark. Key aspects of his work in critical theory include the uses of narrative methodology, cultural constructions of marginalization and the dynamic life of stereotypes.
Professor Troutt is a frequent public speaker and contributor to a variety of national periodicals, including Politico, Huffington Post, Reuters and The Crisis. He received his undergraduate degree from Stanford University and his juris doctor from Harvard Law School. An avid drummer, carpenter, photographer and ichtheologist, he lives with his wife and family in Montclair, NJ.
Major Writings
The Price of Paradise: The Costs of Inequality and a Vision for a More Equitable America (NYU Press, January 2014) (a national exploration of the legal and political assumptions that guide residential organization in metropolitan America, the fiscal stresses that result from localism and segregation and a mutuality-based argument for regional equity policies).
After the Storm: Black Intellectuals Explore the Meaning of Hurricane Katrina (The New Press, August 2006), a collection of one dozen essays primarily by black legal scholars on a wide array of issues arising from the disaster, relief effort and reconstruction. Troutt's essay, "Many Thousands Gone, Again," is an analysis of legal and historical facts on the ground in New Orleans which demonstrate how the convergence of race, class and spatial disadvantages created a systematic vulnerability for many hurricane survivors reflective of persistent poverty in many U.S. cities.

Mariah Carey Reveals What She Loves About 'Triumphant'
Before Mariah Carey dropped her brand new single 'Triumphant' today, she chatted with media members about the song via conference call, which we were fortunate enough to be a part of. Carey sounded beyond pleased with her new track and well, she should be, since it's pretty much classic Mariah Carey, modernized by Maybach Music Group's Rick Ross and Meek Mill.
"Working with Ross and Meek on the same record was incredible," Carey, who had just woken up a little earlier since she was up late working on new music, said. A diva's work is never done.
She continued, "Obviously, Rick Ross is a huge star and everybody loves him. I am a fan of his music. I really wanted to work with him. I love the tone of his voice and I felt the contrast between his voice and my voice was going to be something special. I love to do collaborations that people might think are different, so that was nice."
Besides being stoked about working with Ricky Rozay and Mill, the diva also revealed that "'Triumphant' was "written during some difficult times and to inspire other people. That's why it was nice that both Rick and Meek got on the record. It's not, 'Oh, it's inspirational,' but it has a message to it. They understood that." She also said she wanted her vocals to have a passionate soul to them, which is pretty much par for the course with her.
The diva with a capital D and new 'American Idol' judge also proclaimed that "working with new people keeps me going."
Carey also shed a little light on her as-yet untitled new disc, saying she would not be "following any particular trend. I want it to be well-received and I want to stay true to myself and the music that I love and make the fans happy." Those are certainly noble goals and if anyone can accomplish them, it's Mariah Freakin' Carey.
The album won't be titled until it's done and in the books, either. The finished product is what inspires her title. "I've gotta live with it for a little while and then decide," she shared.

Chocolate Lowers Heart, Stroke Risk
Cardiologists not giving you a license to indulge
People who eat chocolate regularly may not only be feeding their sweet tooth, but lowering their risk for heart disease, a new study suggests.
Chocolate has been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease before, but in this analysis of recent studies involving more than 100,000 people, researchers find that those who eat the most chocolate on a regular basis reduce their relative risk for heart disease by one-third.
Billy Small/the food passionates/Corbis
"At this point we are in the early stages of research," he added. There have not been any clinical trials to see if this association is real, Franco noted.
Chocolate might be beneficial but people should not consume it with the hope that it will reduce their risk of heart disease, Franco said. And if they do eat it, "because of the fat and sugar content, it should be consumed in moderation."
"If you are already eating chocolate, do it in moderation; if you are not eating chocolate, our advice is not to start eating chocolate," Franco said.
The report was published in the Aug. 29 online edition of the BMJ, to coincide with the presentation of the findings at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Paris. The study did not receive funding from chocolate manufacturers.
For the study, Franco's team did a meta-analysis, which is a type of study where researchers comb the medical literature to find trends in relevant published studies.
In this case, the researchers identified seven studies that, combined, included 114,009 people.
When Franco's group pooled the data from these studies, they found that people who ate the most chocolate could reduce their risk of heart disease by as much as 37 percent, their risk of diabetes by 31 percent and their risk of stroke by 29 percent, compared with those who ate the least chocolate. Chocolate had no effect on heart failure risk, however.
It is not clear how much chocolate confers health benefits, Franco said. There was no way of telling how much chocolate was eaten by those who consumed the most of it, he explained. However, having chocolate regularly seemed to be important, he said.
These studies compared people who consumed chocolate more than once a week with those who ate it less often, Franco said.
"We still need to clarify the quantity that permits chocolate to prevent heart disease," he said. "Given the amount of sugar and calories in chocolate, we don't think it's going to be a high quantity."
In addition, since the chocolate eaten in these studies could have been dark, milk or even white chocolate, knowing which type is most beneficial is a question -- although Franco suspects dark chocolate will turn out to be the preferred type. "This is something we need to confirm," he said.
The study included consumption of chocolate bars, drinks, biscuits and desserts.
Dr. Gregg C. Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, commented that "despite chocolates indulgent reputation, there is growing evidence that cocoa products which contain high levels of flavonoids may have a variety of actions which are potentially beneficial for cardiovascular and metabolic health."
Several recent studies have suggested the flavonoids found in cocoa products have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-clotting effects and may also relax blood vessels, Fonarow said. He added that they may also improve insulin sensitivity, reducing the risk for diabetes.
However, the studies reviewed in this report were observational -- that is, they looked at data based on what people ate. Clinical trials, where chocolate is pitted against a placebo, are needed to see if the effect of chocolate is real, Fonarow said.
"Moderate consumption of dark chocolate may be a reasonable consideration as part of a heart health diet," he said. "However, as there is a complex interplay between nutrition and health, further studies are needed."
Nutrition expert Samantha Heller, a dietitian, nutritionist, exercise physiologist and clinical nutrition coordinator at the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital in Derby, Conn., added that "the cocoa bean contains healthy plant compounds like flavanols, called polyphenols, that act as powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. [They may] help keep arteries healthy and may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol.
"But, and this is a big 'but,' people should not use this study as an excuse to chow down on candy bars, chocolate ice cream and chocolate cookies. This will pack on pounds and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease," Heller cautioned.
Fruits, vegetables and legumes also contain high amounts of polyphenols, along with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, Heller said. "So, enjoy some dark chocolate periodically and watch your portion size, but get the bulk of your polyphenols from fruits and vegetables."

Things go from bad to worse when a tow truck driver managed to utterly wreck the stranded Mazda 3 it was trying to help.
Somehow as the tow truck driver flips the car back onto its wheels, the Mazda breaks loose, rolls down the grade, and tumbles off the side of the road. As it disappears you can hear the Mazda driver cursing from behind the camera.
Uh oh, uh oh. [the car starts rolling]
Fuck me. [the car falls of the road]
You have to be kidding me.
And with that, the car crashed into a tree and disappeared into the woods.

We've all heard that laughter is the best medicine, so for those of you who are struggling with cancer or are simply in need of a smile, I hope you enjoy Booker and Verlene. :)
Booker's toupee was an exaggerated version of the pompadour Frankie Avalon wore in the 60's film, Beach Blanket Bingo. Several sizes too small, Booker's odd-looking hairpiece sat perched on his head like a renegade dust bunny curled-up for an afternoon nap. Booker's idea of a good time was to rattle-off names of Texas Hill Country vegetation: "Bluestem, switchgrass, sideoatgrama, purpletop and drop seed." Just when you thought he was finished, he'd let out a long sigh and continue with "scurf peas, lespedeza, prairie clover and Englemann daisies."
In his younger years, Booker had wanted to be a barber, but the only job he could get was barbering in a nearby asylum where manic depressives, old folks with broken hips and autistic children were warehoused in dormitories like rolls of cheap carpet.
When I first met Booker, he and his wife, Verlene, had just been appointed by the State of Texas as trustees for Golden's Nursing Home. Booker and Verlene bought run-down nursing homes and brought them up to compliance after they'd been shut down for failure to conform with state laws.
At first glance, there was nothing out of the ordinary about either of them; just two country folks dressed for their day in court. Verlene wore her distinctive water buffalo hair-do, parted down the middle and flipped up at the ends, and a pair of purple sequined earrings that shimmied back and forth like flashy Cocker Spaniel ears.<PREVIEWEND>
"When we first met, his eyes were so blue, it almost made your teeth hurt," Verlene told me. She smiled and folded her hands on top of the straw handbag in her lap and nodded toward Booker as his right hand quivered in the air, swearing to tell the truth, "So help me, God."
"He's seen so much of the world," she whispered in my ear. Her tiny body seemed to vibrate under her dress. "I sometimes wonder when the new wears off, what we'll have to talk about."
"How long have you been married?" I asked.
"Fifty years come July," Verlene said.
Like Booker, Verlene had an appreciation for all living things: for the way an old weathered stump curled around itself, as if it were holding onto all the character it had acquired over time; the way old women can hold their head just so until they can see in their reflection, the woman of long ago. I imagined Verlene saw that woman every day.
Booker had taken his seat on the witness stand and had begun testifying about the poor conditions at Golden's Nursing Home. I tried to focus on his words, but like Verlene, his body looked like it was pulsating under his clothes. His left shoulder jumped and twitched, then abruptly stopped as the buttons down the front of his shirt rippled one after the other. I glanced at Verlene in time to see her right breast dance and spring outward like a Jiffy Pop container on a hot burner, while long strands of hair magically emerged over the top of her pearl necklace. At the same time, a small brown foot had dropped out of the armhole of Booker's shirt and was pedaling frantically in midair.
"Your Honor!" The prosecuting attorney shot out of his seat. "Once again, Mr. Booker has disregarded my instructions!"
As the prosecutor spoke, a tiny head peered over the zipper on the back of Verlene's dress. I screamed, and the head disappeared. The judge glared at me and asked if everything was all right, but the prosecuting attorney ignored us both. "Your Honor, I called their lawyer and told him they couldn't wear these things to court."
"Wear what things?" the judge asked. "Will somebody tell me what's going on?"
"Sugar gliders," the prosecutor said. "The witness and his wife wear sugar gliders under their clothes."
By now I had seen several heads, tails and clawed feet poking out from Booker and Verlene's clothing. The animals scurried back and forth beneath their garments like little boys fighting under a blanket.
Booker stroked one of the lumps under his shirt. "Your Honor, the last time we testified in one of these nursing home cases, my wife left her sugar glider at home, and the cat ate it."
Still not grasping what was happening in his courtroom, the judge arched one eyebrow and bent forward to scrutinize Booker. "What, pray tell, is a sugar glider?"
Booker reached in his shirt and pulled out a small brown creature, then handed it up for the judge to see. "Flying possums, your Honor. They live in Tasmania."
"That may be, Mr. Booker, but they do not live in my courtroom!"
Court was recessed while Booker and Verlene worked at stuffing the sugar gliders into Verlene's straw bag. "Good thing I didn't bring my python to court," Booker said. "He has an eating disorder."
I hesitated to ask: "How do you know?"
"Well, he only eats one mouse a month, so I tie the front feet of one mouse to the back feet of the one in front of it until I get about four or five mice on the string. Pythons can't chew, so it has to keep swallowing until they're all gone." Booker nodded and grinned. "That way, I know he's gotten enough to eat."
Heaven forbid we should have an anorexic snake.
I watched as Booker and Verlene wrangled the last sugar glider into the bag. On second thought, maybe it wasn't the last one... Perhaps I should take a closer look at Booker's toupee.

Deploying locally to WFEs can usually take time to copy physical files to the different WFEs and we make efforts in making them synched and sometimes we have problems because the two servers are not exactly the same and so on.
Are there any problems with the approach of deploying a Sharepoint IIS web site on a shared location path?

Vimes tells it how it is:
Ireland player T20 World ratings:
William Porterfield (capt): Captain couldn't buy a run in the first week but flourished in London. Fine leadership. 7/10
Andre Botha: Scored rapidly and produced boundaries on demand in short stints at the crease. 6/10
Jeremy Bray: Oh dear. Two runs off 17 balls in the group stage saw the veteran opener swiftly decommissioned. 4/10
Peter Connell: Another whose contribution was negligible, but one over is a paltry basis for analysis. 5/10
Alex Cusack: Fully justified full-time status with eight wickets including 4-18 against Sri Lanka, plus a strike rate of 156. 8/10
Trent Johnston: When Ireland were good, it was because he was very good. Two sublime spells and two rotten ones. 7/10
Kyle McCallan: How his off-spin never led to a professional career continues to baffle. Eight wickets at seven-an-over. 8/10
John Mooney: Dependable in the field and inventive with the bat, christened player of the tournament by Phil Simmons. 7/10
Kevin O'Brien: Cool as a cucumber to see Ireland through to the Super Eights on day one. Rest is best forgotten. 7/10
Niall O'Brien: Outstanding behind stumps and his audacious shots felled Bangladesh. Would have made many more runs with a strong ankle. 8/10
Boyd Rankin: After losing his place, became Ireland's meanest bowler and star of the Super Eights with unerring pace work. 8/10
Paul Stirling: Finally unleashed yesterday, drove first ball for four on the way to 18 off 17. Get fit and he could flourish in this format. 6/10
Regan West: Workmanlike in the field and self-destructive with the bat but a useful foil for spin twin McCallan. 6/10
Andrew White: Put all of his experience - and reverse sweeps - to good effect against India and Sri Lanka. 7/10
Gary Wilson: Excellent in the field and solid with the bat, he just didn't score quickly enough to padlock his place. 6/10

When is division 6 on and where?

Afro-asian cup is far from worhtless as without it the ACA would not be able to fund a lot of development work with the african associates and affiliates

Group B:
India (3)
Pakistan (5)
Zimbabwe (10)
Kenya (14)
+1 Qualifier From ACA Trophy (If Req)
Top 2 from Each Group to play Semis & Finals.
This way even Asia Cup can be scrapped & by making it Afro-Asia Cup ever 2 years, it creates more interest, awareness, Competition & sponsorship for both the regions? Wat say?

Math Conference Honors Stevens Professor Robert Gilman
A two-day conference, designated Group Theory on the Hudson, was held Sept. 19 and 20 to honor Stevens Professor Robert Gilman of the Department of Mathematical Sciences on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The first conference day was at Stevens and the second at Hunter College in New York City. The conference dinner, held in Stevens' Babbio Atrium, was attended by about 70 people including several of Gilman's Stevens colleagues.
The conference covered topics related to Gilman's research, including aspects of discrete group theory and group based cryptography. Gilman is one of the finest and most influential group theoristsin USA. He has made fundamental contributions to the classification of finite simple groups, automatic group theory, applications of formal language theory to group theory, and algorithmic group theory.
The 11 speakers hailed from Cornell, Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, the University of Illinois, the University of Nebraska, and Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, as well as from nearby universities. The conference was sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the Schaefer School of Engineering and Science, the Department of Mathematical Sciences, and the Algebraic Cryptography Center at Stevens.
Gilman joined Stevens as Assistant Professor in 1969 after receiving a PhD from Columbia University. Since that time he has held visiting positions at the Courant Institute of NYU, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques in Bures-sur-Yvette France, Imperial College, London, and other institutions. In addition he has served two terms as Director of the Department of Mathematical Sciences and one term as Associate Dean of the School of Sciences and Arts.

The government will assess the impact and sustainability of the Nirmal Gram Puraskar (Clean Village Award) scheme implemented between 2005-2008. The Department of Drinking Water Supply under the Ministry of Rural Development will conduct a survey, based on a methodology that it developed with UNICEF, in 12 states*.
The objective is to assess the impact of NGP [Nirmal Gram Puraskar] on the pace of progress of sanitation availability and usage in the country under TSC [Total Sanitation Campaign] and its related impacts on health, education, gender empowerment, social inclusion in rural areas on different user groups particularly the rural poor. This study will also assess the durability and sustainability on the provision and usage of sanitary facilities over time. The rational of this evaluation study will be to provide important evidence on the NGP component of the TSC. The Study will provide a national level report on assessment of impact of NGP.
The Government of India introduced the NGP incentive scheme in 2003 under its Total Sanitation Campaign to reward local government institutions at village, block and district level, that had achieved full sanitation coverage (for households, schools and day-care centres) and were declared open defecation free.
* States to be covered in NGP assessment survey
A 2008 UNICEF study on NGP villages found high levels of non-use of toilets (34%), and that only 34% of schools had separate toilets for girls and boys. In most villages the study found a "severe drop in efforts towards social mobilisation and monitoring of ODF status after the NGP award has been received. This has resulted in slippage of ODF status in many GPs and is a serious concern with respect to sustainability".

Study of diasporas provides a useful frame for reimagining locations, movements, identities, and social formations. This volume explores diaspora as historical experience and as a category of analysis. Using case studies drawn from African and Asian diasporas and immigration in the U.S., the contributors interrogate ideas of displacement, return, and place of origin as they relate to diasporic identity. They also consider how practices of commensality become grounds for examining identity and difference and how narrative and aesthetic forms emerge through the context of diaspora.

"Offers a welcome addition to the literature on migration by using the springboard of 'diaspora' to address the cross-border movements of people in past and present . . . [and] in mapping diaspora as a process, invites future discussions and interrogations on the subject."

Karori brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 69 Designs von 22 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
InsightNG - for Next Generation Insights
Our new company provides next generation products and solutions for individuals or groups of individuals to harness knowledge, experience and networks to provide telling insights which drive and lead to better, faster, more relevant decisions and solve situational needs (e.g. planning a vacation, climbing mount Kilimanjaro, merger / acquisition).
We call the solution "Informed Navigation" and here is what it is about:
The Internet leverages the power of what we know (post) and what we can find out (search). Networks leverage the power of who we know (connect). Informed Navigation combines these three functions to tap into what we can accomplish together, based on our collective knowledge. Informed Navigation lets users get beyond existing superficial network connections.
It defines the role each of us plays in helping each other achieve goals, providing real-time access to what others know that you need to know in context - organizing this user-generated content behind the scenes in a simple way - to inform decision-making, benefiting both users and providers.
Informed Navigation is not about searching, but finding; not about access, but sharing. It is not about telling, but showing. It is about collective involvement to form understanding and telling insight. It recognizes that human beings do not seek and utilize information as individuals, but as trusted communities.
The solutions will be offered through a Software as a Service model, so the target market segments are as follows:
1. Individuals (personal as in consumers and business as in professionals)
2. Work Groups (i.e. communities of practice)
3. Enterprise; and
4. Education
Industry vertical solutions will also be targeted for areas where specific domain vocabularies, knowledge and expertise are present (e.g. Investigative Reporting/Journalism, Research Institutes, Financial Services, Government and Defence).
We are looking for a logo that is global in nature, can convey our brand to different cultures around the world and be able to work well with a new website, stationary/business cards, PowerPoint templates etc. It needs to be powerful and bold, yet simple and memorable.
Although our solutions are next generation in nature and delivered through a Software as a Service business model, we don't want anything technical or futuristic for a logo. We want simple shapes and few colors.
We'd like to see the logo and brand name together as well as apart, so the logo needs to stand on its own.
The core concepts that you can draw from, in terms of their meaning, for visual affects are:
1. Insight
2. Informed
3. Sensemaking
4. Collective Intelligence
5. Knowledge
Although we used the word Navigation in the current solution, we are not so sure that using that concept in the logo would make sense as we don't want people to think we have anything to do with physical navigation (i.e. TomTom etc.).
We have attached two user personas for you to review, that represent two target user groups we are currently engaging with.
Be creative, be innovative and wow us with your imagination!

Joe Kruger finally heard his name called in the NFL Draft, as the former Utah defensive end was selected by Philadelphia in the seventh round Saturday.
Kruger, who left Utah a year early, had been projected by some as an early-round pick.
However, the 6-foot-6, 269-pound defensive end slipped farther than most thought he would. He was the 28th defensive end taken in the draft.
"It was a little bit scary," Kruger said of the long wait. "I wasn't expecting to wait that long. I knew there was a chance I could slip to a low round, so I prepared myself, and that obviously happened."
Kruger finished his junior year with 30 tackles, including eight for a loss. He led the Utes with six sacks.
Joe's older brother, Paul, was selected in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft by Baltimore after a standout career at Utah. He signed a 5-year, $40 million deal with Cleveland in March after helping Baltimore win the Super Bowl.
Joe watched the draft at his family's home along with Paul and his other older brother, Dave.
"I've just been chilling with the family," he said. "I'm excited to get out there and start training. I'm excited to be an Eagle."
Kruger was the second Utah player drafted in 2013. Defensive tackle Star Lotulelei was drafted by Carolina with the 14th overall pick on Thursday, becoming Utah's fourth-highest overall draft choice.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said Kruger would be a good fit with Eagles coach Chip Kelly, knowing his personality.
"I don't know their system very well, but Joe is a Chip Kelly kind of guy," Whittingham said. "He is a blue-collar, hard-working, no-nonsense individual and that is what Chip Kelly likes."
Whittingham believes Kruger will succeed in the NFL because of his big wingspan and speed at rushing the passer.
"He is young and so he has a lot of room for development, too," Whittingham said.
