Fast Arch Install from existing Linux System
Template:I18n links start Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n links end
If you are running Linux already and don't have a CD writer or simply want a faster install process, here is how to install from hard drive.
Read the Arch Linux Install Guide first so that you know what to expect.
You need one more spare partition, bigger than the Arch CD iso. Here I'm logged in as root and am using "/dev/hda12" which happens to be 6GB.
Depending on your boot loader, follow the "LILO" or "GRUB" section. Then the "REBOOT AND INSTALL" section
1) Copy the iso to the spare partition (you can use a plain recursive copy, cp -R instead of dd, dd may sometimes screw the partition):
dd if=arch-0.7.iso of=/dev/hda12
2) Making or using a suitable mount point, mount the partition somewhere (you can use option -tiso9660 but mount should work it out):
mkdir /mnt/archCD mount /dev/hda12 /mnt/archCD
3) Edit lilo.conf and add:
image=/mnt/archCD/isolinux/vmlinuz label=archCD initrd=/mnt/archCD/isolinux/initrd.img append="root=/dev/rd/0 BOOTMEDIA=cd"
then don't forget to run:
I've not been able to boot a hard disk partition containing the Arch iso with grub, instead the iso must first be unpacked to an ordinary partition. This is still quicker than burning a CD:
1) Format the spare partition and (making or using a suitable mount point) mount it:
mkreiserfs /dev/hda12 mkdir /mnt/archCD mount /dev/hda12 /mnt/archCD
2) Mount the Arch iso file (making or using a suitable mount point):
mkdir /mnt/tmp mount -o loop arch-0.7.iso /mnt/tmp
3) Copy from the iso to the spare partition:
cd /mnt/tmp cp -a * /mnt/archCD
4) then modify
title ArchCD kernel (hd0,11)/isolinux/vmlinuz root=/dev/rd/0 BOOTMEDIA=cd initrd (hd0,11)/isolinux/initrd.img
Reboot and Install Arch
Reboot and select archCD, when the installer asks if you're using CD or SRC, you can hop out to another shell and:
mount -tiso9660 /dev/discs/disc0/part12 /src
- replace
/dev/discs/disc0/part12with the spare partition you allocated
- remember you can use "tab completion" to find that partition, rather than type the whole thing in
- then hop back and install from hard drive by selecting SRC rather than CD.
And to reclaim the spare partition when Arch is up and running...
1) The spare partition can be reclaimed by making a file system with "mkreiserfs", "mke2fs" etc. Using hda12 as an example:
mkreiserfs /dev/hda12
2) Then edit /etc/fstab to check the partition has the correct file system and options listed against it:
/dev/hda12 /mnt/spare reiserfs defaults,noatime,notail,noauto 0 0
3) Lastly check that the mount point exists, if not:
mkdir /mnt/spare

for the burgers:
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground veal
1 egg
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs*
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
freshly ground black pepper
for the glaze:
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
Whisk together the glaze ingredients, set aside. Using a gentle hand, combine all of the burger ingredients. Form into 4 patties. Prep your grill. Grill one side of the burger, flip and brush with glaze. Continue to cook, adding more glaze as wanted/needed. I suggest serving it with thinly sliced red onion.
*I made these by pulsing some leftover baguette in my Vita Mix.

Photovoltaics and Zero Energy Buildings: A New Opportunity and Challenge for Design
October 2012 - PDF 1.21MB
By: Alessandra Scognamiglio and Harald N. Røstvik
Starting from the end of 2020, all new buildings will have to be Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (Nearly ZEBs—ED 2010/31/EU recast). This new 'energy paradigm' might be a revolution for architecture and for Photovoltaics (PV) too, but there are both cultural and technical obstacles to overcome. There is a need to re-think the way buildings are designed (integrating renewables for being ZE). There is a need to re-think the way PV is designed in buildings. PV will be gaining an increasing relevance in the ZEBs design, thanks to its features and potentialities (suitability for any kind of energy demand of the building, easiness of building integration, cost). In a ZEB scenario, PV is very suitable for generating energy, 'on site' and 'at site'; this enlarges the perspective of use of PV from the architectural scale to a wider scale, including the space close to the building or even to the urban and landscape scale. In such a new context, the existing research on the relationships between PV and architecture, focusing mainly on the way the PV components are used in relation to the envelope (Building-integrated PV/Building-added (Attached) PV), is no longer sufficient. The authors envision possible formal results, opportunities and challenges, for the use of PV in ZEBs, as well as new research issues for the future relationships between PV and ZEBs from the architecture and landscape design point of view.

Formulating a Building Climate Classification Method
November 2011 - PDF 0.52MB
By: Shaan Cory, Victoria University of Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand
When country champions participating in the International Energy Agency Task 40 project on Net Zero Energy Buildings were asked to classify their countries climate, six of the participating countries categorised the residential and non-residential buildings, placed in the same location, into different climate zones. This indicated that a climate zoning for buildings that is based purely on the external climate conditions is not sufficient. This paper proposes an adjustment of the traditional approach to climate classification for buildings by utilising thermal simulation to formulate a building climate classification. This produces a climate indicator that is founded on the locations external conditions and the reference buildings thermal performance.
Towards Net Zero Energy Buildings in Hot Climate, Part 2: Experimental Feedback
November 2011 - PDF 0.99MB
By: Aurélie Lenoir, Françoise Thellier, Phd PE, François Garde, Phd PE
The paper deals with the feedback of the measurements conducted in the first zero energy building "EnerPos" constructed in the French tropical Island of La Reunion. The building was designed to operate as long as possible by using passive techniques (cross natural ventilation, day-lighting). The purpose was to reach an annual energy ratio below 55kWh/m² (which is three times below the mean ratio of standard buildings in La Reunion) by avoiding energy consuming active systems such as air-conditioning and artificial lighting.
Towards Net Zero Energy Buildings in Hot Climates: Part 1, New Tools and Methods
November 2011 - PDF 0.87MB
By: François GARDE, PhD, PE, Mathieu David, PhD, PE, Aurélie Lenoir, Eric Ottenwelter, PE
The paper presents the results of a French National research project on Net zero energy design that just ended in December 2009. The project named « ENERPOS »has focused on the development of new methods and tools for the design of Net Zero Energy Buildings in hot climates. Three French university research laboratories and two HVAC practices have been involved in the project. The initial objectives of the ENERPOS project were: to develop new methods and tools for the design of net zero energy buildings in hot/tropical climates; to point out that the factor 3 is easy to meet. The energy index must be below 55 kWhe/m².year (net floor area); to gather the world of research and the professional sector for improving the use of new simulation tools; to do a transfer of knowledge from research to the professional fields once the proposed method validated. The methods and tools have been applied to the design of the first zero energy building of the French overseas departments located in La Reunion. The design and the construction of the building has perfectly matched with the realization of the ENERPOS project. The completion was in October 2008, just one year before the end of the ENERPOS project.
Calibrating the Impact of a Photovoltaic Thermal Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery System on the Delivery of Net Zero-energy Housing in Scotland
June 2011 - PDF 0.15MB
By: Dr. Masa Noguchi, Dr. Yoshiki Higuchi, Prof. Mitsuhiro Udagawa, Prof. Jun-Tae Kim, Billy Kirkwood
This study was conducted with the aim to assess the potential performance of a photovoltaic thermal mechanical ventilation heat recovery (PV/T MVHR) system. The device is currently considered for the application to the Z-en house project undertaken by Scottish homebuilder, ROBERTRYAN Homes, in collaboration with ZEMCH Network academic partners. The house's whole energy demand was calibrated based on the UK government's standard assessment procedure for energy rating of dwellings, known as SAP, while the PV/T performance was estimated using an 'EESLISM' energy and environmental design simulation tool developed by Kogakuin University. This study concluded that PV generates heat, which makes the fresh air running under the PV roof 10-15°C warmer than the outside temperature even during the Scottish winter and this warm air extracted from roof integrated PV modules can be used to drastically reduce the domestic space-heating demand. Thus, the building integrated PV/T MVHR system was considered as one of the effective means to facilitate the net zero-energy operation of housing in cool and cold climates.
Environmental design and performance of the ENERPOS building, Reunion island, France
June 2011 - PDF 0.59MB
By: Maximilien FRANCO, George BAIRD, François GARDE, Aurélie LENOIR
Located in the French tropical Island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean, the 681 m2 NFA ENERPOS Building was inaugurated in January 2009. The building is located on the Saint Pierre Campus of the University of Reunion Island and was designed from the outset to be a net zero energy project with mixed-mode air conditioning systems in some areas. This paper reports the results of a recent user survey of the staff and students who use the building, and relates the users' perceptions to some of the environmental control systems installed. Indications are that the users have been able to achieve thermally comfortable conditions for much of the year without recourse to the air conditioning systems. However, there is still the need for more readily available information on how to get the best from the windows and the ceiling fan systems for the ever-changing cohorts of students, and staff who may only use the classrooms intermittently. For the more permanent staff group, preliminary indications are of improved health and productivity by comparison with their experience of other buildings.
Users' Behavior and Energy Performances of Net Zero Energy Buildings
June 2011 - PDF 1.18MB
By: Aurélie Lenoir, Shaan Cory, Michael Donn and François Garde
This paper proposes to study the role and the user in the operation of the building and its impact on energy performance of buildings. Some comparisons of the energy consumption and production of the buildings were calculated during the design stage are made against the measured data of the consumption and production of the buildings when they are being utilized. It indicated that the differences between the design calculations and the measurements can be up to 50%. The method used in this study is to restart the process of calculation for the energy balance that was adopted during the design phase and to establish the right hypothesis on the schedules, utilization of appliances, and comfort level of the building that lead to a good evaluation of the energy consumed in the actual buildings operation. This feedback on the tools used by the design offices will allow making improvements in these tools.

By: M. Noguchi et. al.
Homebuilders' business operations often develop into routine. Small- or medium-sized homebuilders (and housing manufacturers) which are usually dominant to the industry today seem lacking awareness of societal pressure for the delivery of zero-energy sustainable housing in response to the imminent global warming issues.
Net Zero Energy Buildings in France, From Design Studies to Energy Monitoring - A State of the Art Review
Eurosun 2010 Paper
March 2010 - PDF 0.14MB
By: A. Lenoir et. al.
In 2020, the French energy policy plans that every new building will be positive energy. It is then essential to develop new methods for the design of such buildings. In addition, energy monitoring should be studied on existing positive or near zero energy buildings to ensure that they really respect this characteristic but also to estimate the impact of certain improvements made on the building design to the energy consumption.
Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings: An Overview and Analysis on Worldwide Building Projects
Eurosun 2010 Paper
March 2010 - PDF 0.38MB
By: E. Musall et. al.
Given the global challenges related to climate change and resource shortages, much more is required than sustainability or increases in energy efficiency in buildings. The zero energy building is no more a vision what is shown by many built examples. Although these buildings are named by different terms and are poorly understood, several countries have adopted this vision as a long-term goal of their building energy policies.

After buying my new laptop, I thought of getting back to NetBeans IDE and test it on pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium on my system.
Quick Review
Looks good so far, finally I have a system with indefinite RAM (pun intended) for NetBeans IDE to run smoothly. Really, its a big relief for me..
By the way, it's been a long time, since I followed the NB Community that closely as I used to did more than a year ago.. Anyways, hope to update myself on latest version of NetBeans IDE and related news..
Future @ORACLE
Yes, I did came to know about Oracle plans for NetBeans through Planet NetBeans.. Glad to know that JavaOne might take place in India, sometime in future. Also, hoping that Sun Tech Days take place in Hyderabad next month, as I am eagerly waiting for it..

Borland Software has announced Silk 2009, a set of tools designed to support the testing needs of both Agile and traditional development teams by simplifying testing activities, increasing the speed of test execution, and integrating with a customer's existing test tools and frameworks to provide a consolidated view of quality across the software delivery lifecycle.
"During our own Agile transformation, we struggled to adapt our QA practices. We not only wrestled with the cultural implications, but our teams found that our own tools didn't support the new paradigm very well," said David Wilby, Borland's senior vice president of products. "As a result, we've made significant changes to our Silk line to better address the needs of all enterprises -- including those moving towards more Agile methods."
Silk 2009 includes functionality that makes it easy for both developers and testers to create and automate tests, minimizing the dependency on specialist skills while making testing a more scalable and efficient process. Further, Silk 2009 includes unique advancements for tests that run significantly faster than competitive products and are easy-to-maintain even in rapidly changing agile environments. The toolset includes:
- SilkTest which, with Silk4J (Borland's functional and regression testing product), lets developers create and automate robust functional and regression tests in pure Java within the Eclipse IDE. It also allows testers to use record-and-play functionality to create tests in pure Java. In addition, new advanced dynamic object recognition and synchronization features significantly speed testing to enable teams to test functionality in rapid iterations even in the constantly changing conditions that are common in Agile development. SilkTest's dynamic object recognition eliminates test-rework when code is changed or refactored -- no matter how many times the UI changes, the tests still work. Advanced synchronization capabilities eliminate the need to modify test scripts to include wait times, providing advanced automation for testing today's dynamic Web applications. Finally, SilkTest includes cross-browser support that enables teams to record tests in one browser and then run them in any.
- SilkPerformer simplifies the process of managing testing environments, enabling fluid allocation of test resources, and speeding the creation of performance and load tests. With Load Test Resource Management, teams can control and provision test environments from anywhere, enabling more and larger load tests that require significantly less hardware, and have the ability to test performance and load with each iteration (even those that do not include UI). Seamless integration with SilkCentral Test Manager for Performance Trend Reports provides Agile teams the fast feedback they need, reporting the results of performance and load tests in real-time to enable teams to identify any potential issues. Finally, SilkPerformer's Eclipse and Visual Studio plug-ins let developers create performance tests within their IDE, and SilkPerformer can repurpose functional tests from SilkTest and unit tests from JUnit and NUnit to be used as performance tests.
- SilkCentral Test Manager is a unified framework for managing quality and testing activities across all projects. It integrates with an organization's existing unit, functional and performance testing tools and frameworks (commercial and open source), and aggregates results into a quality dashboard for a consolidated view of progress, metrics and trends across all projects. SilkCentral Test Manager ships with more than 25 integrations to commercial and open source requirements management, source code control and testing tools, including JUnit, NUnit, FitNesse, and Watir. SilkCentral Test Manager supports the QA needs of both Agile and traditional projects, and the 2009 version includes an Agile test management template that integrates easily with Agile project management tools for lightweight Agile test management that is optimized for Agile workflow. The new release also includes bi-directional integration with VersionOne, a leading project management tool for Agile development. Finally, SilkCentral Test Manager's Hybrid Test Definitions enable seamless transformation of manual tests into automated tests -- and back again -- maintaining all test results and historical data.
To help customers transform their QA organizations, Borland has developed an Agile testing services offering. Based on its own transformation and experience helping thousands of customers improve software delivery, Borland offers a pragmatic approach to Agile adoption, which begins by evaluating a customer's existing tools and practices through an Agile Testing Assessment. Then, Borland's Agile Testing Process Framework outlines a path for improvement, providing guidance on best practices and outlining steps to achieving Agile testing success using Silk products.

One of my practice expertise is working with young adults / adolescents / teens. Inevitably we will talk about what they want to do with their life. This leads to us discussing and exploring what careers they may be interested in. When I work with adolescents / teens I approach them more as a young adult then as a child. This allows them to formulate their own thoughts and possibilities. Having a good rapport with the therapist makes for great therapy. I have a special connection with adolescents / teens! Often, they enjoy coming to therapy. Therapy allows for self-reflection which is miracle growth for the young developing brain!

Career counseling is an interesting combination of skills assessment, tool building, and dreaming with clients. Initially we will help you answer questions that will determine the course and direction of your life - What's your purpose? What legacy do you want to leave? How do you want to impact the world? What is your life's work going to be about? How can you take care of those you love?

When people hit a point in their life where they simply don't know what they'd like to do with themselves and what would give them a sense of accomplishment in life, they turn to a therapist for guidance. I assist others to find themselves and to set goals that are attainable and realistic. Oftentimes, people find that through therapy they are able to become "unstuck" and to connect with what works naturally for them.

text: Mary has been living in filth for longer than her family can remember, and while they knew the conditions of her home were bad, they didn't know to what extent until the Hoarders cameras—along with a therapist—bravely entered the dwelling in hazmat suits. An owner of 15 cats, the house is literally covered in not only animal feces, but Mary's excrement as well, as she is incontinent and doesn't have running water in her home. The bathroom looks like someone painted every inch of surface space with runny shit and then let it crust over. During filming for this episode, Mary became violently ill from the fumes in the home and began going into respiratory failure. She had to be removed, through a window, by paramedics. Unsurprisingly, the county building inspector condemned the home. Do yourself a favor and don't eat Lean Cuisine Swedish meatballs while viewing this clip. It will totally change the way you view the brown sauce in a way that's irreversible.

|Student Employment
Students may receive assistance locating both on- and off-campus part-time jobs. On-campus job referrals are based on selected qualifications, availability, and existing job vacancies. Job vacancies vary throughout the calendar year.
During the fall and winter semesters jobs are extremely limited. Successful applicants generally have 1) an available 2-4 hour block of time between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily, and 2) a willingness to accept any type of job, and work any hours. However, the very best opportunity for on-campus jobs is during the Summer terms.
Job Application Procedures:
Students are eligible for on-campus employment if they:
1. Are full-time students taking 12 semester, 6 block, or 1 summer term credit(s).
2. Have not graduated or completed 140 cumulative credits.
3. Are not on academic or Dean of Students' probation.
4. During Fall and/or Winter Semesters, students must be full-time, day-time students.
Students may go directly to the employers on campus for jobs or visit the Student Employment Office for assistance. The Student Employment Office works on a "first come, first served" basis. Job listings will be posted on the BYU-Idaho home page and the Student Employment job board.
If students are hired to work on-campus, they must complete all applicable paperwork in the Student Employment Office before they can begin work.
Federal government regulations require proof of identity and eligibility to work in the United States. This requires either a U.S. passport OR an original U.S. Social Security card, or certified birth certificate AND a photo I.D. (original documents only, no photo copies or faxes)
International students must be cleared through the International Student Office and must obtain a Social Security card before they can be referred for an on-campus job.

Teachers have long suspected it. Californians believe it. Researchers have proved it. And we, an educator and a physician, have joined together to spread the message: Increasing kids' physical activity boosts academic achievement.
A landmark study published last month in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine finally moved the activity/achievement link from sensible theory to scientific fact. After a systematic review of more than 800 studies, a highly respected team of researchers reported that students who are physically active earn higher grades and score better on achievement tests than their inactive peers.
It's not entirely clear why active students perform better. Some speculate that increased oxygen flow to the brain stimulates learning. Others argue that exercise helps students burn off excess energy so they can focus better in class. Scientists will continue to explore the "why," but the "what" is now settled. Exercise boosts academic achievement – case closed.
This finding won't come as news to California teachers, who have consistently reported that students concentrate better and have fewer behavioral problems in classes following a physical education or recess period. It's also nothing new to the California Department of Education, which launched Team California for Healthy Kids last year to focus on boosting exercise and nutrition in schools. And it won't surprise California voters, either. According to a November 2011 survey conducted by the respected Field Poll, three-quarters of Californians agree that increasing physical activity would improve academic performance in schools.
Against this backdrop, you might expect that principals and district superintendents would be clamoring to add physical activity to their daily schedules. In fact, California schools are moving in the opposite direction. Today, fewer than half of all school districts meet the state requirement to provide elementary school students with 200 minutes of quality physical education every 10 days (just 20 minutes each day!). High schools fare even worse.
It's not just academic performance that suffers from inactivity. Lack of exercise has serious health consequences for children and adults, increasing risk for diabetes, obesity, hypertension and many other serious chronic diseases. Over the long run, we all pay a steep price for inactivity: higher health care costs, increased absenteeism and reduced economic productivity.
It's no secret why physical activity in schools has taken such a hit. To meet California's tough achievement standards, many principals and district superintendents felt pressured to prioritize academic instruction over physical education and recess. They thought maximizing classroom time was the best strategy for increasing test scores. Their hearts were in the right place, but their prescription has now been proven wrong.
It's time for California schools to chart a new path, encouraging students to move throughout the day, starting before the morning bell rings, continuing through quality physical education and recess breaks, and ending with active after-school programs that enrich our children's bodies and minds. We can make health happen in schools. We have the knowledge and resources to make our schools the most active in the nation, and nothing less should be our goal.
Throughout our state, individual schools and school districts have developed outstanding models to follow. Some begin the day with voluntary before-school exercise clubs, so students who arrive early can get a healthy workout, instead of hanging around while waiting for first bell. Others have experimented with "Instant Recess," one- to two-minute activity breaks peppered throughout the day that help students burn off a few calories, while clearing their minds to focus on the classroom. Yet another promising approach is integrating physical activity into traditional academic lessons. For example, exercise can demonstrate how the circulatory and respiratory systems function, and individual fitness improvements can be tracked and recorded on school computers for lessons in mathematics and computer science. And all districts should work to improve their physical education classes, so students spend more time moving and less time sitting around.
Parents can help by planning fun and active outings for their families on the weekends, and by telling school leaders that increasing activity is important to them. When all our state's education leaders heed parents' request and embrace the reality that physical activity and academic achievement go hand-in-hand, our children will be on a path toward greater success in school and improved health throughout their lives.

Barring an absolutely unforeseen chain of events, South Carolina will lose Jadeveon Clowney to early entry into the April 2014 NFL draft. Around the same time, and barring a change of heart, the Gamecocks will lose another standout member of its defensive line as well.
The father of Kelcy Quarles confirmed to GoState.com the long-held speculation that his son will be leaving collegiate eligibility on the table in order to begin his professional career a year early. Buddy Quarles said the decision came after the defensive tackle and the coaching staff discussed the issue and decided this would be the best course of action for the younger Quarles to take.
"I think they all came to that conclusion," Buddy Quarles said. "They had a good assumption that he's going to be leaving."
The elder Quarles said his son will submit his paperwork to the NFL Draft Advisory Committee in the next week or two. As if putting an exclamation point on the impending ending of his playing career, Quarles will walk with the seniors during the final home game of the year vs. Clemson the last weekend of this month, the father said.
This season, Quarles is tops on the Gamecocks with 11 tackles for loss and seven sacks. The latter number is good for third among SEC defensive players.

Re: it's not freeware! All of the programs I recommend in this section are 'free' in the sense that they were at one time distributed as fully functional software with no payment required for their continued use. However... some software companies withdraw their freeware, or offer programs as freeware for a short period before 'upgrading' them to shareware. So please don't contact ME to say any program I recommend is no longer freeware. I'll find out when I next update.
What you can do for yourself is... search the net... As I understand it, if you can find the original freeware distribution, and it still works, there's nothing to prevent you from legitimately using it. You could try the Last Freeware Version or OldVersion.com.

Calgary Ultimate Association (http://www.calgaryultimate.org)
The Calgary Ultimate Association (CUA) has a vision to make ultimate frisbee the sport of choice in Calgary. We are a volunteer-run organization that runs four leagues (Spring, Summer, Fall & Winter) and tournaments throughout the year for a community of nearly 2,000 ultimate players. We run an annual tournament called Ho-Down / Slo-Down that hosts teams from across western Canada. This year the tourney is celebrating its 25th anniversary and we're very excited to make this the biggest and best tournament yet. We're looking for a limited edition disc design that will capture the spirit of the tournament (25 years of competitive ultimate in a fun, social environment) and act a memento for the event.
Our target audience is the more than 1,000 ultimate players who will be registering and taking part in this year's event. They are fit, spirited athletes who like to play hard and party hard (we have a big Saturday night party every year under an outdoor tent). They range in age from mid-20s to early 40s. They play ultimate because it's fun, a great workout and a unique sport that combines multiple elements of other sports (ie. soccer, football, basketball, etc.)
In the past we've played on a western theme for our tournament materials and we're open to continuing to do that (see uploaded files for examples and/or visit our 2010 tourney website which is using last year's western theme: http://hodown.calgaryultimate.org/). We definitely want to get some mileage out of the fact that this is our 25th anniversary year....so that may replace the western theme....or maybe just compliment it?? We're open to creativity and new ideas (hence the very short requirements description). Having said that, please avoid falling into the trap/stereotype that all ultimate players are hippies ;-)
We're open to any colours....although our "corporate" ones are red and black (see CUA logo file attached). Disc may only use two colours max (see Discraft artwork specifications for details).
Required elements include:
- tourney name -> Ho-Down / Slo-Down 2010
- tourney location -> Calgary, AB
- CUA logo (attached)
- mention/highlight of 25th anniversary
- **** hot-stamp artwork requirements are posted on the Discraft site: http://discraft.com/art.html
- if possible, our main URL: http://www.calgaryultimate.org (if not enough room, we can always leave out)
Any questions, please let us know :

PromoMEDIA - advertising at the Right Time, Right Place and Right Price
There are a number of radio ad production companies to choose from. Here at Promo Media we offer a high quality service at low prices.
Our radio advert producers are able to create high quality voice overs which will draw your target audience in and make them want to buy your products and services.
At PromoMEDIA we strive to be the best radio ad production company in the UK offering high-quality services at very reasonable prices.
We produce radio adverts which are professional and broadcast quality for radio stations all over the country. This includes help with scriptwriting, sourcing and selection of voiceover artists, studio recording and supplying the ads to the required stations in the requested broadcast quality formats.
You may already know the direction, tone, artist and script that you would like for your radio advert or alternatively you may be starting from scratch. At PromoMEDIA we can help from either of these starting positions. Get in contact today and let us know what you are promoting and if you have any ideas that you would like us to incorporate, our local radio experts closest to you and your surrounding area will then factor these in whilst also offering ideas which we think may help.
When producing radio ads it is important that a high standard of ad is produced so that it stands out from the others and therefore works best for you. As radio stations have standards of quality that must be met, this means if your advert is not up to standard they may simply refuse to use it. Producing a poor standard advert can also have a negative effect and put people off your brand, subsequently making them not wish to visit your website or buy your products or services. An unprofessional radio ad can basically give off the wrong impression to potential nearby customers so they need some thought and consideration.
If you more like more information on our radio ad creation please fill in our contact form and we will get back to you as soon as possible with a quote and additional details.
Radio commercial production is the process of creating a radio advert to promote your product, services or brand to be used in radio advertising campaigns. Here at PromoMEDIA we use different radio advert creators to cater for all budgets. Within these costs, we can help with scriptwriting and also the "voicing" of the ad. At PromoMEDIA we believe it is important your voice-over and script match the tone and voice of your company so that it actively appeals to your target audience in both subject and personality.
It is recommended that you consider your audience's preferences when creating your ad. Some products work best-using comedy in their ads, others more serious, others music based, others in a more factual manner. We will take your company and the perception you wish to give off when creating your ad so that it achieves the results you want.
Getting a great voiceover who matches your product is a key ingredient to the success of a great radio advert. Depending on your product you should consider age, accent and tone of the voice-over artist, as this will give an insight into the "personality" and "voice" of your business, company or service. Some adverts suit female voiceovers, others male, some an older person, some younger, some an accent, some traditionally received pronunciation (RP) – each of these factors contribute to the feel of what you are creating.
When creating an ad our experienced teams will look at your script and product and suggest a voice-over artist they think suits. We will normally send you a few voice-reels (examples of their previous work) so you can hear them; you can then select the artist you feel is best for you. We then use specialist equipment in state of the art studios to create the radio ad to make sure that the advert is of high quality and works for you.
On top of simply creating the ad, we can also book radio campaigns and have a great relationship with all the major and regional radio stations across the UK. To find out more about the benefits of radio advertising visit our page here- https://www.promo-media.co.uk/type-of-ads/radio-adverts/ - let us know which stations you'd like to advertise on and the dates which would suit you.
If you are looking to produce a radio advert and get it on air we would recommend following these steps:
If you have any questions about the services which we provide, do not hesitate to contact us using the contact form on this page.
There are no standard costs for producing a radio ad. It depends on a number of factors including the length of the ad (most radio ads are 30 seconds long), the background music or radio bed that you need creating ("radio bed" is the industry term for the background music/effects).
For example, if you wanted to use a well-known music track in the background we would make sure that you had the necessary legal rights to do this and arrange the best possible rates for this. Another factor in the cost is the voice-over artist. If you are using someone who is unknown the costs will not be too expensive, but if you wanted to use someone famous you would obviously have to pay more for their services.
Get in contact with us today and find out more about how we can produce a catchy and effective radio advert for your company. There are many options available from our team as we are one of the top radio ad production companies offering a variety of services. We look forward to talking to you soon.

LOS ANGELES Police officials announced Sunday afternoon a large reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Christopher Dorner, the-LAPD officer suspected of killing three people last week and currently the subject of a manhunt in the Big Bear area. They also named the Riverside police officer he is suspected of killing on Thursday.
The $1 million reward, the largest in LAPD history, was announced at 1 p.m. by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and police Chief Charlie Beck in hopes, they said, of encouraging the public to participate in the capture of Dorner. The reward is being provided by 23 organizations and six anonymous donors.
"Our hope is that this reward will bring expedited closure to this tragic situation and that someone with specific knowledge will bring that forward toward a hasty and peaceful resolution," said Riverside Mayor Rusty Bailey at Sunday's conference.
The manhunt for Dorner stretched into its fourth day Sunday, with searches of woods, cabins and houses in Big Bear. A joint task force has been created with officials from the Irvine Police Department, Riverside Police Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Marshall Service, Los Angeles Police Department and other allied agencies, officials announced Saturday.
Irvine Mayor Steven Choi and Irvine police Chief David Maggard attended Sunday's press conference to inform the public of that city's continued efforts in the investigation.
"Seven days ago our community lost a wonderful, young couple that was preparing to get married soon," Choi said. "The offer of this $1 million reward is a clear demonstration that we are collectively committed to solve this tragic case as quickly as possible."
Beck said that the investigation remains focused in the Big Bear mountain area, where the manhunt began after Dorner's truck was found torched Thursday.
On the mountain, the search appeared to be slowing Sunday as the command post began packing up and police presence dwindled from public areas. San Bernardino County officials would not release the number of officers in the area Sunday, although it had decreased from 125 on Friday to 50 Saturday.
Parents began receiving notices Sunday that schools will be reopening in the Big Bear area Monday with increased security.
Dorner has also been spotted on two surveillance cameras in different areas during the past week that authorities continue to investigate.
On Monday, a day after Monica Quan and her fiancé Keith Lawrence were killed in Irvine, Dorner appeared on Platinum Auto Sports, a National City business, security footage throwing several items into a Dumpster. The manager turned over a recovered clip with hollow-tip bullets, a military belt and helmet to Irvine Police.
Dorner was also seen on security footage from an unidentified Orange County hotel taken Jan. 28, authorities said.
In Buena Park, Irvine police served a search warrant for a storage locker Friday night, taking multiple undisclosed items that may be tied to the investigation, said Lt. Bill Whalen of the Irvine Police Department.
After the Irvine killings on Feb. 3, Dorner also is accused of opening fire on two Riverside police officers and one Corona officer, killing Riverside officer and critically injuring another. The Corona officer sustained a minor injury.
At the press conference Sunday, Riverside Chief of Police Sergio Diaz announced funeral arrangements for officer Michael Crain, 34, who was born in Anaheim.
The other officer who was wounded with Crain has not been identified as a security measure to keep him and his family safe, since Dorner is targeting law enforcement, Diaz said.
Since Feb. 3, authorities have searched Dorner's family home in La Palma and his former residence in Las Vegas. What they were searching for and evidence that may have been found has not been disclosed to the public.
Beck announced Saturday that the investigation into Dorner's LAPD firing, which Dorner stated in a Facebook post was the reason for his rampage, will be reopened and investigated by department officials.
"The only way I know how to put that to rest is to review what's already been reviewed at multiple levels, but it's never been reviewed by me," Beck said Sunday. "If there is anything to what he says, we'll deal with it.
Villaraigosa said the collaboration among the agencies in the new task force is expected to create a greater sense of public safety.
"We have far too few of police officers and far too big of a job to do it without the public's help," Beck said.
Officials said that anyone who is interested in the $1 million reward should contact the Dorner Task Force at 213-486-6860.
Staff writers Brooke Staggs and Salvador Hernandez contributed to this report."

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has asked Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank to reduce the amount of money taxpayers would be asked to contribute to a proposed $1 billion stadium.
Plans for the new, retractable-roof stadium initially included a $300 million public contribution derived from hotel-motel tax revenues. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/10EgVu4 ) reports Deal has asked Blank to lower his request for public funding to $200 million.
In December, the franchise and the Georgia World Congress Center Authority agreed on terms surrounding the proposed stadium. Since then, Falcons representatives and state officials have been negotiating details of the proposal and are working toward settling on a final financing arrangement.
The proposal for the new stadium calls for demolishing the Georgia Dome, which was built in 1992.

The president of the EU commission has suggested there may be scope for Britain to adjust its relationship with the union.
But Jose Manuel Barroso flatly rejected the prospect of a cap on migration from member states.
David Cameron has pledged to renegotiate EU rules and hold an in-out referendum on membership by 2017 if he is still Prime Minister.
He has signalled that one of his aims will be restricting access to UK jobs and welfare when less wealthy countries join the union.
The Tory leader has previously highlighted high levels of immigration after Poland and other A8 states acceded.
In an interview with the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, Mr Barroso - who is due to step down from his post in October - said freedom of movement for labour was a "fundamental principle" of the EU single market.
A cap on immigration to a member state would be a "complete contradiction" of that principle, he insisted.
However, he stopped short of ruling out any changes in the area, saying action was already being taken to curb "abuses" of the system.
Mr Barroso said reforms of EU treaties were "extremely difficult" because they required unanimity, but "sooner or later" the euro area would need change to deepen its fiscal integration.
"I don't see a fundamental contradiction between deepening the euro area... and having some flexibility for the EU, providing the general framework is kept as it is," he said.
"It is possible if there is wisdom on both sides, and if it is a constructive discussion, to come to some agreement."
He added: "I think if there is goodwill, if there is intelligence on all sides, it is possible provided that there is not an attempt to put into question the basic princilpes of our union, the integrity of our union."
Ukip leader Nigel Farage said the remarks showed Mr Cameron was merely "spinning a line" about a renegotiation.
"Here is a man who is trying to convince the general public that he can somehow reform the EU and yet the Commission President has said absolutely no proposals have been put forward and any renegotiation of significance would be virtually impossible as it would require all member states agreeing," he said.
"He also repeated that the free movement of people was not up for grabs. All Cameron is doing is spinning a line back home to try to stay in power."
"What was also startling was Barroso revealing that the EU were waiting to see if Britain's position will change in the next Government. He clearly thinks Cameron is out the back door along with his sham referendum pledge and sham renegotiation promise after the next general election.
