TuttleTree needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 82 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
We need a header/logo for our psychology site. The site features a comprehensive set of tools and content to help potential psychology students find the right school for them. Very important to appeal to college professors also, since they will be the ones recommending the site to their students.
College professors and students of psychology. We need a logo that's attractive yet professional and somewhat academic. We want to convey that this site is a legitimate and valuable resource that professors would be happy to recommend to their students.
Create website header for http://dev.psychologydegreeguide.org/
The text on the header should read:
Psychology Degree Guide .org
With the ".org" on a separate line below the other words, underneath and to the left edge of the word "Guide". The words "Psychology Degree Guide" should be clearly differentiated as three separate words.
The header should look professional, the text should be formatted as an attractive logo, and contain imagery that matches the theme of psychology. Typically that involves images of brains or heads or similar (http://images.google.com/images?q=psychology), however we're open to other ideas for images too.
[UPDATE]: I want to get away from life-like images of actual brains. Rather, I'm looking for stylized images which imply a focus on the "mind". That could involve heads and brains, but doesn't have to. It could involve things like gears or keyholes too. Here's some sample images to give you an idea of what I'm looking for:
The colors should match the color scheme used on http://dev.psychologydegreeguide.org/ (various shades of blue, maybe some orange, other colors if they match).
The deliverable should be a 968px width by 125px height PhotoShop PSD file and a JPG file.

The stylized handwriting of Gen. George Washington urges readiness for one regiment. In another letter, he describes how to bargain with flour and Indian corn. Still another from Col. William D'Hart to Col. Israel Shreve details a victory in Newtown in 1779.
The letters are part of the University of Houston Libraries Special Collections and are accessible to researchers or others interested in thoughts and actions of participants of the American Revolution.
"These letters are small gems in our large archive of special collections," said Dick Dickerson, university archivist. "They were donated very early on in our history of collecting primary materials, and while we have more extensive collections of other eras and subject areas, these remain very special."
The majority of the collection is made up of letters from Col. Israel Shreve of the 2nd New Jersey Regiment in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The 76-item collection of his Revolutionary War letters span the years 1776 - 1793 with the bulk of the correspondence talking place from 1777- 1780. The letters are to and from George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and others in Washington's Continental Army. There are several to Shreve's wife, brother and mother. Included also are maps of cities and forts.
"From a historian's perspective, these letters are so valuable because they are original, primary resources that testify to actual events and recorded at the time they happened," Dickerson said. "They aren't interpreted or tinted by a biographer or historian."
The Special Collections are used by students and other researchers from around the country.
One letter poses a math question to Shreve regarding the building of a house; another is a handwritten list of the general staff of the army. One touching letter reveals how human tragedy can weigh heavily on military leaders. Shreve wrote a poem during a time of great illness among the ranks. He described the men, women and children without homes or possessions; many sick with small pox.
"As the July 4th holiday approaches, it's only fitting to take another look at these letters. One is struck with the feeling of how precious they are," Dickerson said.
This collection is available by contacting the UH Special Collection office at 713-743-9750 or through the UH Digital Library at http://digital.lib.uh.edu/.

Blockbuster and Netflix stop suing each other
Will secret 'sweetheart' deal stifle the competition?
Blockbuster and Netflix have ended their patent litigation battle, Blockbuster revealed today. No terms have been announced, but in an SEC filing the video retailing giant said the settlement would not affect financial performance.
Twelve months ago Blockbuster filed a counter-claim, accusing Netflix of using deceptive practices to obtain patents and monopolise the online rental business. Marshall Grossman, of Alschuler Grossman, Stein & Kahan, the firm representing Blockbuster, said at the time that Netflix claiming exclusive rights over subscription movie rentals was "like a fast-food restaurant trying to patent selling hamburgers through a drive-through window".
Netflix, America's biggest online video retailer, had earlier sued Blockbuster for alleged infringement of its business method patent.
Could the two rivals use their secret pact to stitch up others? According to the Associated Press, U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco, who dismissed the case yesterday at the companies' request, "refused to oversee the settlement because Netflix and Blockbuster wouldn't provide him with a copy of the agreement".
Scott Kamber, a New York lawyer who is suing Netflix seperately over alleged patent abuse, thinks the accord could stifle competition. "We are very concerned," he told AP business writer Michael Lidtke. "One thing is for sure: This isn't going to be good for consumers if they don't want this settlement to see the light of the day."
We shall find out soon enough if Blockbuster and Netflix are up to no good.
In the meantime they are fighting tooth and nail for the North America online video rental market. Netflix dominates this market - it pulled in almost $1bn in revenues in 2006 and currently claims almost seven million customers. But margins are thin - around five per cent net. Blockbuster's arrival on the scene as a serious competitor will ensure that they won't get any fatter. From a standing start, Blockbuster is growing rapidly, gaining three million customers by the end of Q1 this year, on the back of cut-price deals for people who place their orders over the internet.
But growth has come at a price and Blockbuster is feeling the strain. In its SEC filing today, the company said it is seeking to change a credit agreement so that it can get away with lower earnings requirements.
In the first half of the year, it has spent a lot of money on its Total Access online video rentals program - and it wants to carry on spending to bring the customers in. According to reports, analysts had expected Blockbuster to raise online rental prices by now. But the company doesn't want to do this until the end of the year, when it will make changes to the "offering that it believes will strike the appropriate balance between continued subscriber growth and enhanced profitability".
Netflix meanwhile can carry on not being bought by Amazon and figure out how it can turn a profit from video download rentals. ®

Title favorite Serena Williams and defending champion Victoria Azarenka advanced in contrasting styles Saturday to the fourth round of the Australian Open.
Williams, aiming for a third consecutive major title, recovered from a break down in the second set to win six straight games and finish off a 6-1, 6-3 win over Japan's Ayumi in 66 minutes.
The 15-time major winner even surprised herself with another serve at 128 mph (207 kph), matching her career fastest serve she hit earlier in the tournament.
"I tried to hit it really hard. I hit 207 (kph) the other day and I thought it was luck,'' she said. "But I did it again and I was like whew! I'm going to try to go for 210. We'll see.''
Top-ranked Azarenka struggled to hold off injured American Jamie Hampton 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, and didn't help herself with six double-faults.
Hampton, who needed a medical timeout for a lower back problem before she served out the second set and winced in pain, frequently on the verge of tears, throughout the third, still managed to hit 41 winners to keep the Belarusian under pressure.
Azarenka appeared frustrated at times, but overcame an early break and fended off triple break point in the seventh game of the deciding set before clinching the match in 2 hours, 9 minutes.
"She played incredible, went for every single shot. I felt it was touching every single line,'' Azarenka said. "She took a medical timeout but she rips winners all over the place and I was like, 'Can I have a back problem?' I'm feeling great, but I'm missing every shot.''
After wasting two set points on Azarenka's serve late in the second set, Hampton had to leave the court for nine minutes to have treatment on her back.
Azarenka practiced her backhands and serve while Hampton was in the locker room, but the break didn't help her immediately. Hampton returned and held in the next game and needed more treatment in the break at the end of the set.
Even with the pain of two herniated disks, the 23-year-old Hampton, from Auburn, Ala., went down swinging -- making 47 unforced errors to go with the winners that caught Azarenka off guard and had her asking, loudly at one point, what she could do to counter them.
Sensing an upset, and stirred by the obvious signs of pain, the crowd on Rod Laver Arena got right behind the No. 63rd-ranked Hampton, who had never gone past the second round at a major.
Azarenka had her share of supporters in the stands, too, including friend and musician RedFoo who was wearing a shirt emblazoned with "We Go Hard'' across the front.
If results go according to rankings, Azarenka and Williams will meet in the semifinals. Williams has won the Australian Open five times and is on a 19-match winning streak -- and she has lost only one match since her first-round exit at the French Open last year.
Considering Azarenka has lost 11 of their 12 meetings, including all five in 2012, it's a potential matchup where Azarenka will have to play better than ever.
But they both have to advance to the last four, something Williams failed to do here last year when she was knocked out in the fourth round.
In the corresponding round this year, the 31-year-old American will meet No. 14 Maria Kirilenko, who beat No. 20-Yanina Wickmayer 7-6 (4), 6-3.
Elsewhere, two-time major winner Svetlana Kuznetsova advanced with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 win over Spain's Carla Suarez.

Oct. 16, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – In front of an electrified crowd and national TV audience, the 19th-ranked Florida State indoor volleyball team defeated Miami, 3-1 (25-23, 24-26, 25-13, 25-19), on Wednesday night at Tully Gym. With the victory, the Seminoles move to 13-5 (6-1 ACC) while the Hurricanes fall to 13-4 (6-1 ACC).
The Seminoles were dominant with their right-side hitting as senior Elise Walch led the charge with 17 kills and freshman Izzy Carmona amassed 15 of her own. Carmona set career highs in kills, attacks, hitting percentage (.500) and blocks (5).
"I'm proud of Izzy," Elise Walch said. "She stepped up majorly. We worked a lot in practice on hitting on the right side, so that's helped us a lot. It's been improving every day."
"They played great," head coach Chris Poole said. "We need a lot from the right side. The reason we run a 6-2 is to give us a chance to get some additional kills and they really came through tonight, which is really big for our success."
Sophomore outside hitter Nicole Walsh also contributed 14 kills and posted a .387 hitting percentage while adding eight digs.
"You can't do anything without a pass, set and a hit," Nicole Walch said. "But it was awesome. I was more focused on my passing tonight. I wanted to make sure that everyone else had the opportunity to hit as well. It was really fun."
Both setters contributed double-doubles on the night as junior Sarah Wickstom performed her team-leading seventh of the season behind 26 assists and 10 digs. Freshman Hailey Luke earned her first of the year with 24 assists and 10 digs, a career best.
Senior middle blocker Ashley Neff accounted for nine blocks on the night while, Carmona rejected five. Overall, FSU and Miami each accounted for 11 blocks apiece.
The opening lived up to the rivalry hype as the score was tied 13 times. The set came down to the wire as the Seminoles looked to put away the Hurricanes at 24-21. However, they refused to quit by fending off a pair of set points pulling to 24-23. Neff ended the set with a kill after an FSU timeout.
With the score tied early in set two, Miami continued to hold the edge until the Seminoles knotted the set 19-19. The score tied five more times down the stretch as Carmona recorded three clutch kills. However, the surge was not enough as Miami took the second set, 26-24.
"We were making a lot of mistakes," Poole said. "We went in and said that if we could cut down on the errors, we weren't playing bad, we were playing well for most of the game and we just needed to play smart."
The third set belonged to Florida State as it moved ahead 2-1 behind a 25-13 win, thanks to an 8-1 run with redshirt freshman middle blocker Sarah Burrington on serve for the majority of the haul. During the stretch, Elise and Nicole Walch traded off six-straight kills to stretch the lead to 19-11 before Miami ended the streak.
Using the momentum from the third set, the Seminoles capped off the match with a 25-19 win in the fourth set. FSU mustered an 8-1 run after being tied at 14, forcing the Hurricanes to make five errors down the stretch.
"I was so proud of our team," Elise Walch said. "We kind of fell behind a little bit in the second set and went down and we played really hard and I was really proud of us."
In the Chris Poole era FSU now holds a winning record against every ACC team. The win also makes it 21 consecutive victories over conference opponents at home.
The Seminoles will travel to South Bend, Ind., for a match against Notre Dame at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The match will be streamed on ESPN3.

Hawks aim to regroup in home tilt with 76ers
The Atlanta Hawks suffered a setback last time out, but will try to get back on track Friday night when they host the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Hawks got caught up in the New York Knicks' sensational play of late when they lost at home 95-82 on Wednesday. Carmelo Anthony went for 40 that night and the Hawks let New York shoot 52 percent from the field.
"We played a very hot basketball team. Carmelo is playing at a very high level right now. He's shooting the ball extremely well," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "I thought there were times that we did defend him well, but he still made shots."
Kyle Korver went off on Wednesday with 25 points on 6-for-10 shooting from long range. Jeff Teague scored 15 and Josh Smith chipped in 10 points. Al Horford only managed nine points and seven rebounds.
By virtue of the Chicago Bulls victory Thursday over the Brooklyn Nets, the Hawks and Bulls are tied for the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference. They are both 2 1/2 games clear of the Boston Celtics and 1 1/2 games behind those same Nets.
The Sixers are clinging to faint playoff hopes. They trail the Milwaukee Bucks by six games for the eighth and final playoff spot.
Their chances were dealt a blow on Wednesday night when they fell in Charlotte to the Bobcats 88-83.
It was a horrendous night shooting for Philly. The Sixers shot 35 percent from the field and 25 percent from the 3-point line as they began a four-game road trip.
No one encapsulated the poor shooting more than Jrue Holiday. The All-Star guard managed only five points on a staggering 2-for-24 night shooting from the field.
"We were in a real good rhythm and we stopped moving the ball," said Sixers coach Doug Collins. "We tried to do too much on our own. All you have to do is look at 16 assists. We didn't move the ball tonight."
Damien Wilkins led the way with 20 points. Evan Turner and Dorell Wright had 14 apiece and Spencer Hawes chipped in 12 points.
Wednesday's loss snapped a three-game winning streak.
The Hawks snapped a six-game losing streak to the Sixers on March 6 in Atlanta. The 76ers had won two straight in Atlanta prior to that loss and the two teams meet in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

"A strong woman has strength enough for the journey but a woman of strength knows it's the journey where she will become strong "
Recently I've become aware of the above quote and I have fallen in love with it. It reminds me that in live we experience situations that can test our character and integrity but ultimately theses things make us much better once we make it through them. I say, to embrace the experiences of life and with each one look at it as a chance to learn. Growth is something that we continue each day, a positive outlook can make for a positive result!

Forum Post: When tepid is touted
Posted 5 years ago on July 4, 2013, 12:29 a.m. EST by AntiPoverty
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
...you are in really really bad shape.
188,000 - Do you know what that number is?
That number is being touted as a good sign, when in fact it is just a little more than half what it should be for this time of year. So what happens when the time of year arrives that such a number would most commonly be associated with? You guessed it, a number that is just over half what is should be for that time of year.
I'll be generous and call it 80,000
So where does that put us? You guessed it... in negative job growth! Stay tuned for more hilarious episode of Striving For Mediocrity.

Please join Laura Waterman Wittstock at 9 am on Wednesday September 4, 2013 am as she talks with Executive Director Joe Rice about the new year with Indian students at Center School in Minneapolis. Center School has taken home the ribbons again for its organic garden on campus, a project of students and staff. Joe will tell us how all that happened and what he looks forward to in the new school year.
Indian Country has lost a great friend in attorney Ken Tilsen who died on Sunday, September 1. He established the Wounded Knee Defense/Offense Committee and was involved in criminal and civil trials throughout the 1970s. His papers are at the Minnesota Historical Society. Attorney Bill Tilton knew Ken Tilsen in another one of Ken's many interests in justice: defense of the Minnesota 8 - a group of young protestors against the Viet Nam War. Eight were arrested according to MinnPost, "on July 10, 1970, while trying to break into government offices in three Minnesota towns Little Falls, Alexandria and Winona to destroy draft records. During subsequent trials, they were dubbed "The Minnesota 8" and their defenses centered on their opposition to the Vietnam War and the use of the draft to force men to fight it."

With "The Lamp of Sacrifice" may be compared Wordsworth's first sonnet on King's College Chapel, Cambridge: —
Tax not the royal Saint with vain expense,
With ill-matched aims the Architect who planned
Albeit labouring for a scanty band
Of white-robed Scholars only this immense
And glorious Work of fine intelligence!
Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the lore
Of nicely-calculated less or more."
Cf. also Kenan's "Prayer on the Acropolis" in his Recollections of My Youth (English ed., 1892, p. 52): "What adds so much to the beauty of the buildings is their absolute honesty and the respect shown to the Divinity. The parts of the building not seen by the public are as well constructed as those which meet the eye ; and there are none of those deceptions which, in French churches more particularly, give the idea of being intended to mislead the Divinity as to the value of the offering."

1. Content is designed without specific buyer personas in mind.
2. Someone underestimates the resources needed to create the content.
3. No one gives enough thought to the architecture—a.k.a. "the system"—that will be built to create, harvest, disseminate, measure, and analyze the content.
4. Content is produced without an eye toward where it fits in the buying process.
5. Not enough content is created.
6. The campaign launches without a listening strategy or listening post.
7. The target market finds the content overly self-promotional.
8. Originality leaves the building.
9. The content creators don't know/care about/understand the target buyer persona(s).
10. Content is produced for only one stage of the sales funnel.
11. Dissemination of the content happens at the wrong time.
12. Shareability is a problem.
13. Content built for one medium/platform/place is taken to another without any adjustments and is expected to kick ass.
14. Top of funnel content does not contain well-built/appealing calls to action and offers.
15. There's no keyword (or longtail keyword) strategy.
16. Landing pages are poorly done, and they do not ask prospects valuable questions.
17. Lead generation and cost of customer acquisition are not included in the campaign metrics.
18. There's a mismatch between the voice of the content, the target customer, and the organization.
19. A/B testing is ignored entirely.
20. Data and hard conversations take a backseat to harmony and people's egos.
21. "Art" comes before business fundamentals. (This happens a lot, especially when teams are heavily populated by a certain type of creative.)
22. Unrealistic time expectations are placed upon a campaign.
23. The desire to be on all platforms and media trumps doing just a few well.
24. The C-suite doesn't get content marketing or buy in to a campaign (bonne chance on this one).
25. The content marketing team falls in love with perfection and stops shipping.
26. The content marketing team is composed of inexperienced young people and/or talentless hacks. (Obvious, I know, but don't discount how much this can screw things up.)
27. Killer content is created, but a brand lacks a big community or audience and refuses to spend money to amplify things.
28. Content is offensive to elements of the target market and wider public.
29. Content is plagiarized.
30. There are no clear goals.
31. The whole damn thing happens too fast.
32. After a campaign begins no one makes any adjustments based on data that's been harvested.
33. The content produced does not educate, delight, fascinate, amuse, or help the target market.
34. No one considers optimizing the content for search engines.

Nickel-containing stainless steel (S31600 and S31603) water pipes offer lightweight, durable design solutions for distributing potable waters in buildings. Benefits include: corrosion resistance, good strength and ductility, ease of fabrication, ready availability, and full recyclability.
Photo by Robert Lowell, for Nickel Institute
Thin-walled stainless steel connections offer excellent corrosion resistance and help to reduce water leakage at critical joints in potable water distribution systems.
About 3% of annual primary nickel production goes to making rechargeable batteries. At end of life, these batteries are usually returned to point of sale and transported to a recycling plant, such as this one in the U.S.A., to recover the valuable nickel. Read more about nickel in batteries.
Photo by Tim Pelling, for Nickel Institute
Built in 1930, this icon of the twentieth century classical and romantic tradition was the first large, high-profile, stainless-steel application in the world. Located att 405 Lexington Ave., it features S30200 stainless steel arches pictured here.
Six stainless steel arches at the top of this historic landmark building represent hubcaps and the stainless steel gargoyles represent Chrysler hood ornaments.
Shortly after their development, austenitic stainless steels became the preeminent material for projecting a progressive, modern image through architecture. The Chrysler Building, built in 1930, was one of the first.
Mirror finished stainless steel (S31600, containing 12% nickel) was used to create this spectacular sculpture in a high-traffic area of downtown Chicago.
Photo by Tom Ready, for Nickel Institute
Nickel-containing stainless steels have become a favourite material in commercial and domestic kitchens. The hygienic and durable material is used in many food and beverage applications because its smooth surface is easily cleaned and it can withstand the aggressive chemicals that are used for cleaning and sterilization.
Nickel-containing stainless steel has largely replaced other materials in commercial kitchens as they are heat-resistant, less easily damaged and can be kept scrupulously clean.
Electroplating of nickel and then chromium onto surfaces such as these car wheels creates bright finishes that are smooth and durable.
Nickel, electroformed onto a mandrel, meets the highly demanding manufacturing conditions needed to make millions of polycarbonate CDs and DVDs in high-speed injection molding machines.
Photo by Louie Palu, for Nickel Institute
The burgeoning pharmaceutical industry is increasingly using process equipment, such as this product dryer, made of nickel-containing stainless steel.
Photo by Carroll McCormick, for Nickel Institute
It is estimated that about 80% of end-of-life nickel-containing products are recycled. A large percentage of the nickel that is recycled by society is achieved through the recycling of stainless steel, as pictured here.
The formability characteristics of nickel-containing stainless steel provides great versatility for the design of kitchen sinks. Double bowls, integral draining boards, etc. are a great convenience compared to earlier sinks.

Does Andorra have an airport? How to get there by plane
This is a question that many visitors to out country ask. In fact, Andorra doesn't have an airport, due to its location high up in the mountains. However, there are other possibilities for those who want to take the plane to the Principality. The nearest airport is in the Alt Urgell region, south of La Seu d'Urgell, in Lleida. In fact, because it's so close to our country, its official name is Andorra-La Seu d'Urgell Airport (LEU). This airport is for private flights, but is in the process of adapting to commercial flights. As this airport is in the mountains, its routes are limited to the summer period, when weather conditions are right for taking off and landing aircraft. Apart from this airport that's set to grow in the future, Andorra has several international airports within a 125-mile radius. These are Toulouse-Blagnac (TLS), Carcassonne (CCF), Girona-Costa Brava (GRO), Barcelona-El Prat (BCN) and Reus (REU).
How to get to Andorra by train
The train is a good option for people coming from distant cities. The nearest train station is in France, in L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre, located just 7 miles by road from the border. This station is served by trains from other major French cities, mainly in the south, such as Toulouse. For visitors coming from Spain, one good solution is the Lleida Pirineus station, with high-speed trains (AVE) stopping there, mainly from Madrid-Puerta de Atocha and Barcelona Sants.
Look for the nearest station on www.mobilitat.ad, on the map and the bus lines that connect to Andorra. You also have the possibility of renting a car.
How to get to Andorra by bus
If you'd rather not get behind the wheel yourself, you can always take the bus. There are dozens of regular international routes connecting the Principality with various cities in Spain (Barcelona, La Seu d'Urgell, Lleida and Salamanca), France (L'Hospitalet-prés-l'Andorre and Toulouse) and even Portugal (Arcos de Vadeves and Porto).
Check companies, times and prices: www.mobilitat.ad
How to get to Andorra by car
Due to Andorra's unique location in the heart of the Pyrenees, all options to cross the border onto Andorran soil mean you'll have to use the road. If you prefer to come by car on your own, you should know that access from Spain is via the N-145 road, in the southern area of Andorra, while access from France is by the east of the Principality, by the N22 road. Our country offers car rental agencies, which will help you better organise your trip.
You may find the best route to Andorra from your place of origin using online tools as: Via Michelin, Guia Repsol, Mappy
Remember that Andorra has an efficient public transport network and several car rental agencies.

Dude, what the hell?
This week has officially been a double ass-burger with extra cheese. We've got stuff blowing up in Texas, jag bags harming innocent civilians in Boston, Chicago is half underwater, the Senate is apparently half in the bag when they vote now, Derrick Rose officially didn't play a single minute of the NBA season and Drake dropped the most sensitive rap song since "I need love." I'm not the most religious person in the world, but you have to start looking around and wondering … is this the end of days?
Well, if it happens to be, I'd like to address some stuff that has been lingering on my chest for a bit.
- I purchased the Trapt CD the day it came out in 2002.
- I dated a girl once because I felt bad for her.
- When I moved to the suburbs in 4th grade, I lied to a bunch of kids and told them Dominique Wilkins was my uncle. He isn't.
- My friends and I were all gay for the two-week period between the release of Hanson's "MMMBop" video and the revelation that Taylor Hanson was indeed a boy.
- On three separate occasions, I called in to vote for Limp Bizkit's "Nookie" on "Total Request Live."
- When I was younger, I whistled and catcalled white women very loudly for about a week or so because I was pissed about Emmitt Till.
- I've faked it.
- More than once.
- The first time I tried pot, I got so high that I started crying.
- I used my friends butt as a pillow one time.
- That friend was a dude.
I feel much better. Everybody be safe out there and be kind to one another. Sidebar: If my house is flooded when I get home, I'll need drinking buddies. You know where to find me.

There's more than 80 titles disappearing from Netflix by the end of November, so this is your last chance to watch "Dirty Dancing," "The Untouchables" and one of the Missions: Impossible.
In fact, one of the best films goes off the air tonight, the 2012 film "End of Watch" with Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña.
Right on its heels is one of the better Disney animated film offerings on Netflix, "The Sword in the Stone" which stops streaming on Monday, Nov. 24.
Netflix isn't the most forthcoming on titles going away, so I rely on the crowd-sourced information from

Boss Katana KTN-50 50W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amplifier
Boss Katana Air Wireless Guitar Combo Amplifier
Marshall DSL40CR 40W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amplifier
Marshall DSL20CR 20W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amplifier
For electronic instruments, amplifiers are absolutely essential. And they don't just stop there: even an acoustic show can make a really good case for an amp if you're playing a big venue and need to be heard all the way up in the nosebleed section. There are tons of different amplifiers to choose from, so no matter what instrument you play or where you plan to play it, you can find the right hardware here to really bring your performance home. Some of our top brands in this category include: Fender, Acoustic, Bogner, Marshall, SWR, Ampeg, Markbass, Roland, Vox, Orange, and much more.
One of the first decisions you should make is whether you're looking for a combo amplifier or a standalone model. The difference between the two is simple: combo amps have built-in speakers for an all-in-one enclosure, while discrete amplifier heads need to be connected to a separate speaker cabinet for them to produce sound. In most cases, the biggest differences are power and versatility. Standalone amp heads can be connected directly to mixers or to your choice of speaker cabinet and they're available in higher power levels. That makes them great for recording, customizability, and playing huge venues in which a combo just isn't big enough. Where the combo amps do have the advantage, though, is in convenience and portability. You can still get some solid power out of a big combo amp, and with just one unit to bring onto the stage, everything is more straightforward.
When we think of amplifiers, the first instruments that pop into our heads are probably the electric guitar and bass - but those are just the beginning. Not only can any electronic instrument use an amp directly, but by simply connecting a microphone, you expand that potential to any instrument at all. This is one reason for all the variety you'll find here: there are guitar and bass amps, of course, but also keyboard amplifiers, electric drum amps and even acoustic models that you can use to amplify practically any instrument.
The bottom line is that whenever you want your performance to be heard, there's an amplifier ready to make it happen. Once you start narrowing down the choices here based on your instrument of choice, power needs and preferences, you're sure to discover the amp that's perfect for you.

A key companywide objective for Geiger is to be socially responsible, very green and giving and to have a declining carbon footprint. We feel that it is our responsibility as a company and as individuals to take an active role in becoming more eco-friendly and energy efficient.
Geiger continuously works towards social responsibility and a declining carbon footprint. As a pioneer in the Promotional Products industry, we have contracted with UPS to have a carbon offset for every package we ship.
The carbon emissions of our UPS shipments to every customer and from every supplier will be fully negated resulting in each shipment being carbon neutral. Due to our package volume, we are one of the top 10 carbon neutral shippers in the U.S. who have a contract with UPS for all of our shipments.
UPS calculates the carbon emissions for Geiger's UPS shipments, then purchases and retires offsets equaling that amount. Projects include reforestation, renewable energy (wind, solar, biomass, hydroelectric), methane and landfill gas destruction, wastewater treatment and destruction of industrial pollutants.
These projects are carefully chosen by UPS to ensure that they are high-quality, meeting international standards. UPS's carbon calculation methodology and processes are certified by The CarbonNeutral Company and verified by Societe' Generale de Surveillance (SGS).
For more, visit the UPS carbon neutral shipping website.
Our company has already achieved significant reductions in energy consumption by, among other things….
These changes, alone, result in an annual reduction of electricity usage by 840,000 kilowatt hours and 14,000 gallons of fuel oil. We will keep 816 tons of greenhouse gases out of the air, the equivalent of taking 136 cars off the road.
In addition…
The company also invested $120,000 to remove 87,000 square feet of roof drain out of the city's sewer system and 48,000 square feet of roof drain water out of Hart Brook, an endangered inner-city waterway. We have re-piped the entire roof surface drain system out with a new RipRap, Plunge Pool, and Level Lip Spreader at the lower elevation end of our property designed to slow, cool settle, filter and disperse our roof rain water. The project went live in time for the first thunderstorm in late June 2008.
And this is just the beginning…

TUCSON – Real Salt Lake drew its final preseason game of 2014 on Saturday, coming from behind to tie Chivas USA 1-1 on a rainy day at the FC Tucson Desert Diamond Cup at North Stadium at Kino Sports Complex.
Substitute FW Alvaro Saborio scored in the 70th minute for the Claret-and-Cobalt, which fell behind after Chivas USA FW Erick Torres found the back of the net in the 10th minute. RSL will return to Utah on Sunday, where it will begin preparations for next Saturday's 2014 MLS regular season opener at LA Galaxy.
RSL controlled most of the game, and had the first chance of the match in the seventh minute. Morales had the look, curling a 19-yard free kick over the Chivas USA wall and off the crossbar after he was fouled just outside the area.
The Claret-and-Cobalt had another opportunity in the ninth minute. Captain Kyle Beckerman collected on the left side of the attacking third, turning to goal and firing a low 30-yarder just wide of the left post.
Torres scored against the run of play a minute later to put Chivas USA ahead. A Chivas USA trialist whipped in a cross from the left wing, and RSL DF Carlos Salcedo couldn't deal with it, failing to clear in the wind and the rain. Torres pounced on the loose ball in the box, scuffing a shot past onrushing RSL GK Nick Rimando and inside the left post.
Real Salt Lake had several good looks at an equalizer before the break. The Claret-and-Cobalt's first chance at a tying goal came in the 28th minute, when MF Ned Grabavoy collected a Morales pass in the left side of the area and blasted a low 15-yarder just wide of far post.
RSL had two more looks before halftime. Beckerman and MF Luis Gil combined for the first, with Beckerman rifling in a shot from 25 yards that Kennedy parried away. The rebound fell to Gil in the right side of the box, with the 20-year-old American international powering his shot over the bar.
Gil had another opportunity in the 42nd minute, this time on the counterattack. Grabavoy started the play, collecting an errant free kick deep in RSL's half and playing to Gil in the middle. Gil quickly found FW Joao Plata on the right, who took a few touches down the field before finding Gil again for a 1-on-1 with Kennedy. Unfortunately for RSL, Gil couldn't take advantage of the opportunity hitting his shot over the bar from 15 yards.
The second half got off to a bit of a sleepy start, with neither team registering a chance until Salcedo nearly put RSL on the board on two different occasions in the 62nd minute. Plata created the first look, crossing in from the right to a wide-open Salcedo at the back post. Salcedo hit a side-volley with his first touch, with Kennedy coming up with a big save on the six-yard effort. Salcedo had his second look on the ensuing corner kick, getting on the end of Morales' cross at the left post before heading high and wide from eight yards out.
Saborio pulled RSL level in the 70th minute. Some great interplay on the right side between Morales, Beckerman, Grabavoy and DF Tony Beltran freed up Morales deep in Chivas USA's third, with the Argentine playmaker dribbling into the area along the end-line before threading a beautiful ball through several defenders and to Saborio just a yard out. The Costa Rican international had no trouble with the straightforward chance, tapping home into the open net with his first touch.
Saborio nearly put RSL ahead in the 76th minute, collecting a ball from substitute MF Luke Mulholland in the right side of the area before turning and absolutely slamming a 10-yard effort past Kennedy and off the crossbar. Saborio and Mulholland combined for another opportunity in the 78th minute, with Mulholland sending a cross in from the right side that a diving Saborio nearly got on the end of at the top of the six.
Real Salt Lake will return to Utah on Sunday. The Claret-and-Cobalt will hold its first training session in Utah on Tuesday ahead of next Saturday's 2014 MLS regular season opener at LA. RSL's full schedule for the upcoming week – including training times, media availability, and Jersey Event details – will be released later this weekend.

Companies don't innovate. People do.
But in today's business world, the people behind the innovation and groundbreaking ideas and inventions can be overshadowed by their creations.
Sometimes that anonymity is by design. (USB co-creator Ajay Bhatt, for example, prefers to pass the credit on to his team. Even when Intel made his name famous in a 2009 commercial, he declined to appear. An actor played him instead). More often, though, it's one of the side effects of the business world.
With that in mind, we've turned the spotlight on some people who are pushing their industries forward. Some of the names are familiar. Some you've probably never heard before (and may not hear again), but all of them are working to improve fields that have an impact on the majority of the population.

One lucky Powerball player in Maryland is among those raking in the cash after Wednesday night's $448 million jackpot drawing, according to Maryland Lottery officials.
His or her second-tier take is a cool $1 million, officials said.
The ticket was purchased at the Dunkirk Fastop, located at 9880 Southern Maryland Boulevard, in Dunkirk, Calvert County, lottery officials said.
The ticket owner is among 4,051,006 players who won prizes totaling $66.9 million in the drawing.
There were also three first-tier winners in the Powerball drawing, who matched all the drawn numbers: 05, 25, 30, 58, 59 and Powerball 32. One ticket was purchased in Minnesota, two in New Jersey.
The $448 million jackpot was the third largest in the game's history, according to lottery officials. The largest remains the $656 million jackpot won in March 2012, and split between winners in Maryland, Kansas and Illinois.
The $1 million winning ticket in Dunkirk is the eighth "second-tier" Powerball ticket sold in Maryland this year, state lottery officials said.
The winner has not been identified.

5 Great Tech Kickstarter Projects We'd Love to See Funded
In case you have not heard Kickstarter is pretty cool. Kickstarter is basically for creative types to get funding for their ideas. It's powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands. We've seen some tech that has been the result of Kickstarter funding and we decided to take a look at some projects that are great ideas currently seeking funding.
- ZIGaRIG DSLR Case: "Designed by filmmakers, and made for filmmakers," this project by Jan Egleson is a lightweight and affordable DSLR rig. The deadline for funding is March 27th. If you are looking for a product already available, check out the Z-Rig made in Boston, Massachusetts by Chris Zeppieri for $95.
- MORE/REAL Stylus Cap: We wrote about this project by Don Lehman earlier this week and really hope it receives funding by March 16th. These caps turn your Sharpie, Bic, or Fineliner into a stylus for the iPad.
- aTrackt! Aluminum Tray: The aTrackt! is a solid aluminum tray designed for the Magic Trackpad and Apple Wireless Keyboard. The tray links the two Apple input devices together allowing them to be easily used on your lap. This project by Mark A. Donohoe needs to receive funding by March 2nd.
- IglooCase & Cleat: Created by motorsports enthusiastics, this case design by Curtis Chen is constructed of Polycarbonate plastic and is made to work with the Cleat which has a powerful suction cup allowing it to be attached to vehicles. The IglooCase needs funding by March 29th.
- Wedge iPad Stand: This project by Elijah Wiegmann needs funding by March 8th and is a simple clean iPad stand made out of anodized silver aluminum, an ideal finish to match the iPad.

Phil Hays' New Website
I really like Hays' work from the 1950s, when he was doing artwork like the examples shown here. On Alex's new Phil Hays website, you'll find a few examples from this early stage in the illustrator's career, but for the most part, the site showcase's Hays' later period, when he had dramatically altered his style.
The change is quite startling and curious. Off the top of my head I can't think of another mid-century illustrator who's style underwent such a radical overhaul. If there was a transition period, it isn't documented in the site's gallery.
Hays seems to have made a big splash when he arrived on the scene in New York in the mid-'50s, as this little article from the December 1956 Cosmo would suggest:
Below are a group of scans courtesy of Tom Watson, from the 1959 NY Art Directors Annual. That Hays was having so many entries accepted to the AD show in one year certainly confirms his mercurial ascent in New York's illustration circles.
If Hays' work from this period reminds you a little of Jack Potter or even early Bob Peak, you're not alone. I'd say that between the three of them, Peak, Potter and Hays pretty much 'cornered the market' on this style for a few years in the late '50s.
When Tom and I first corresponded about this group of artists, he astutely wrote, "...not sure who stole who's style... my guess is Peak stole Potter's style. Potter's work was more consistent in style than Peak's work. Peak seemed to be always trying something new..."
Tom continued, "In my opinion, Phil Hays was a good illustrator, and showed occasional moments of brilliance, but was not on the same level as Potter and Peak. Hays may have been stealing ideas from both Potter and Peak. But then, I guess no style is 100% uniquely yours."
Certainly a reasonable conclusion - and it might explain why Phil Hays didn't stay committed to this style over the long haul. The website doesn't provide any explanation of why Hay's work changed so dramatically, but there are plenty of other interesting facts about Hays and some really great vintage photos of the artist. Well worth a look!
Many thanks to Tom Watson for providing the b/w scans in today's post and - I apologize to whomever contributed the colour, horizontal format scan near the top - I've forgotten who it was, but thanks!

Hays was Illustration Chair during my time at the Art Center, and one of m teachers. When showing his work, he once said he wanted it to look like no hand had touched it-- no brushstrokes, no evidence of the tools used to make it-- as though it wasn't made by a person. If you look at his late work he didn't sign it, he used a rubber stamp instead. I never heard him go into more detail about his style change.ReplyDelete
Phil was a great guy, and responsible for educating some great modern illustrators. He worked very hard to teach us to find non-verbal solutions to our illustration problems.
Hays' later work resembles airbrush illustrator Dave Willardson's stuff.Hays must have influenced Willardson.Considering he taught at the Los Angeles Art Center and Willardson was a student there,I guess it follows.That was a hot style in airbrush album cover and magazine art in the 80's.ReplyDelete
This is so amazing. Great Tips !! Keep publishing the great content for your blog. Keep writing and sharing your thoughts with us. architects in coimbatoreReplyDelete

Nearly 60 percent of the world's top 250 retailers were operating in more than one country in 2009 according to Deloitte's just released annual report "Global Powers of Retailing." Of the 147 retailers on the list with operations outside their domestic market, 115 had a presence in more than one sub-region, while 32 operated only within their sub-region.
Retail industry pundits have been predicting the imminent globalization of the industry for the better part of two decades. Though there has been a great deal of globalization, the industry still lags many others, such as consumer products, hospitality, telecommunications and entertainment.
In other words, there's opportunity for growth, especially for the big players interested in acquiring existing operations in emerging markets. Here, we take a look at Deloitte's top-10 retailers from around the globe — all but two of which operate in numerous countries.

Orange, Bitter, & Refreshing: 5 Classic Campari Cocktails
In the dog days of August, Campari drinks are what I crave. Campari's bracing bitterness and lush grapefruit notes are refreshing when mixed simply with soda, drunk before dinner to awaken the appetite and the palate. Campari also happens to be mixed up in some of the most classic old-fashioned cocktails and aperitivi. These are exactly what I want to drink, this time of year. Here are five favorites!
Here are five favorites, from simple and old-school to new(ish) and more nuanced.
• 1 The Bittercup - My personal favorite. A new creation with a nod to the classics, from a bar in Vancouver. Campari, a touch of Fernet Branca, a splash of prosecco, and few more surprises. Slightly fizzy, ever so refreshing.
• 2 The Negroni - An absolute old-school classic. Gin, Campari, a twist. A drink with a kick, best drunk in the evenings, before a high-class dinner.
• 3 The Americano - Like the Negroni, but gentler. No gin, and a splash of something fizzy instead. A great sipper for weekend afternoons.
• 4 The Lucien Gaudin - My husband's drink of choice. This very old-fashioned cocktail is similar to the Negroni, but a little more easy-drinking. A splash of Cointreau and dry vermouth instead of sweet give it a rounder, fuller balance, in my opinion.
• 5 Cocktail Maison - A "house cocktail" from France, with a lovely flavor from Champagne, and a peachy blush from the Campari.
What is your favorite Campari drink? Do you drink it year-round, or just in the summer? Here's a litle more background on Campari, and a bonus recipe, too, if you like to eat your Campari instead of drinking it!

Task force: All actions on or ahead of schedule; will provide up to 3,200 MW in electric generation and transmission, spur $5.7 billion in investment and help ensure clean, reliable, affordable power
The New York Energy Highway Task Force has announced the availability of a progress report - the New York Energy Highway Blueprint Update - affirming that all of the actions called for in the comprehensive blueprint plan to upgrade and modernize the state's energy infrastructure are underway and moving forward on or ahead of the aggressive schedules set for them.
The New York Energy Highway Blueprint, submitted to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo in October 2012 by the task force, includes a wide range of measures to provide up to 3,200 megawatts of additional electric generation and transmission capacity and clean power generation - enough to serve about 3 million homes - through up to $5.7 billion in private- and public-sector investments. The blueprint update reflects the progress to date on each of the blueprint's 13 recommended measures.
"We believe constructing electric transmission and generation, developing renewable energy sources and upgrading electric and natural gas infrastructure can effectively advance the governor's far-reaching initiative to modernize New York's statewide energy system," the Energy Highway Task Force said in a joint statement. "It has been a privilege to serve on the task force, and we look forward to continuing to work with Gov. Cuomo, potential project developers and others, through our respective agencies and authorities, to bring this critical public-private initiative to fruition and ensure that New York stands as a leader in energy development and reliability."
The energy highway initiative, which the governor introduced in the 2012 state of the state address, is a centerpiece of his Power NY agenda, which was put in place to ensure that New York's energy grid is the most advanced in the nation and promotes increased business investment in the state.
The Energy Highway Blueprint proposed 13 specific actions, divided among four major categories:
•Expand and Strengthen the Energy Highway
•Accelerate Construction and Repair
•Support Clean Energy
•Drive Technology Innovation
The announcement of the blueprint update was made as part of a morning panel discussion on the recent progress of several key actions recommended in the Energy Highway Blueprint, at the Advanced Energy Conference taking place in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan. The panel was moderated by Gil C. Quiniones, co-chairman of the task force, and president and CEO of the New York Power Authority, and included a representative from each task force entity.
Among the highlights on the actions included in the blueprint update:
•The New York State Public Service Commission earlier this month took actions designed to ease transmission congestion, which will help lower electricity prices in downstate New York and support the development of clean energy projects throughout the state; plan for possible major power plant retirements to maintain a reliable power grid; and expand natural gas utility service to homeowners and businesses in New York state to lower energy costs.
•The New York Power Authority board of trustees approved a life extension and modernization program for NYPA's decades-old transmission system in Western, Central and Northern New York.
•The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority issued a $250 million renewable portfolio standard solicitation targeting electric generation projects that will use clean-energy resources to help the state diversify its overall electric energy portfolio.
With these and other actions initiated, the task force's role is complete. The agencies, authorities, utilities, transmission owners and other active participants will now proceed with the assigned specific tasks. Information on these tasks will be available on the websites of the public and private entities designated as partners for each recommendation in the blueprint.
After providing his vision for the Energy Highway, Cuomo named Quiniones NYPA president and CEO, and Joseph Martens, commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, as co-chairmen of the task force to oversee the initiative. Joining them on the task force were Kenneth Adams, president, CEO and commissioner of Empire State Development; Garry A. Brown, chairman of the New York State Public Service Commission; and Francis J. Murray Jr., president and CEO of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
The Energy Highway Task Force created the blueprint after reviewing 130 responses from 85 entities, including investor-owned utilities, private developers and investors in response to its request for information, issued in April 2012. Public comments submitted on the RFI responses were also considered in the development of the blueprint, as were publicly available reports and analyses, and public comment. In April, along with the issuance of the RFI, the task force convened two conferences - an Energy Highway summit at which power industry leaders explored the state's energy issues and challenges, and a conference of RFI respondents and interested parties to present the RFI and answer preliminary questions by potential respondents.

For one half Tuesday against Hermiston the Hood River Valley basketball team looked like a team which could beat anybody in the state. For the other half they were a team that could not beat anybody.
The Eagles saw an eight-point halftime lead vanish minutes into the second half as Hermiston woke up. The Bulldogs soon overtook the Eagles, and kept right on going.
The Bulldogs outscored the Eagles 55-12 in the second and won 75-44 in the final game of the regular season Tuesday night in Hood River.
Mallorie Moss led the Bulldogs with 26 points, 22 of them coming in the second half, while Jeni Hoffert added 24 for Hermiston.
Logan Bailey led the Eagles with 14 points, with Megan Winans adding 12.
"Our energy just dropped," said Winans of the second half. "Then we turned the ball over a lot."
Not to drag out a tired cliché, but the game was as much "a tale of two halves" as one could possibly find.
In the first half the Eagles played one of their highest-energy efforts of the season, closing out on Hermiston shooters and controlling the pace on offense.
The Eagles also managed to keep the athletic Bulldogs from doing anything that they wanted to do on offense and got the crowd into the game throughout the first half.
Then when the two teams came out for the second half, everything changed.
Hermiston began hitting its three-pointers - its bread and butter in a blowout win over HRV last week - and the Eagles began turning the ball over left and right.
Hermiston more than doubled its first-half production in the third quarter alone, outscoring HRV 28-10 in the quarter after managing 20 points in the first half.
After their offense got going full-bore in the third, the Bulldogs used their defense to seal the deal after building a seven-point lead heading into the fourth on a Hoffert three-pointer.
In the fourth, Hermiston held HRV without a point until just 1:50 remained in the game, and by that point it was too late for any HRV comebacks.
While the Eagle seniors were feted two days prior during their game with The Dalles-Wahtonka, the HRV girls seniors had to play one last game at home thanks to snow and ice in January, which pushed the Hermiston game to the last day on the schedule.
"It's been a great experience," said Winans, a senior, of playing on the team. "We all knew we would have to work hard to get a varsity spot when we came up. It was nice to know we had to work hard to get where we are."
The loss locked the Eagles into a game at Parkrose Friday night. The Broncos finished fourth in the Northwest Oregon Conference this season with a record of 14-9 overall and 8-6 in league play. They closed their regular season with a 61-49 win at Liberty Tuesday night.
Coach Tom Ames said HRV would need to do what it couldn't in the second half against Hermiston - find the person who's open after a double-team trap - in order to beat the Broncos.
"There are going to be kids open," he said. "We just have to find them."
No matter how the season ends, Ames said it had been a pleasure working with the team and the graduating seniors.
"They've been great kids," he said of the seniors. "I don't have to worry about anything with them."
In Hermiston the HRV boys wrapped up their season with 61-55 loss to the Bulldogs. The Eagles led by one at the end of three quarters but could not hold on as the Bulldogs rallied to get the lead.
Ryan Wheat led the Eagles with a double-double, 20 points and 12 rebounds. Story McKee had 13 points and Cody Walker had 10 for HRV.
"They played with a lot of effort," said HRV coach Steve Noteboom of the final game. "And I am proud of the energy level they had to finish the year."
The season ended following the game for both the Bulldogs and the Eagles as they were the two lowest-ranked north region teams in 5A, and thus were eliminated from post-season play.
