A winner was selected from 233 designs submitted by 51 freelance designers.
E-NERGY is a consulting group advising real estate owners on how to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings.
Our business is BtoB. Our customers are real estate developers, building owners, managers of real estate...
We are looking for a logo that both looks good and fits in with the name and style of our business!
- professional but innovative (so no funny logos)
- Environmentally friendly : low electrical consumption, sustainable development
- Colors : shouldn't be too aggressive. It can show that the business is "green" but doesn't have too and "energy efficient"
- Ideally, the "picture part" of the logo has to be useful on its own too. It can be integrated in the design of the name, but has to be understandable without it.

Like any sports fan, Ryan Pinson knows where the
action is – out on the field, or the court, or in the pool. But while fans of Northern
Arizona University's athletics teams keep their eyes glued to the action,
Pinson stays alert for something altogether different.
As the university's head athletic trainer,
Pinson, who graduated in 2004 with a master's degree in athletic training, and
his crew of trainers work behind the scenes to ensure the safety and health of
student-athletes. And, Pinson says, his
own experience as an athlete and former graduate assistant helps him to keep student-athletes
healthy and on the field.
"At the end of the day, it's about having that
gut instinct of knowing someone and perceiving when something's truly
physically wrong with them," Pinson says.
Pinson strives to administer the best care he
can because he knows all too well the pain of a life-altering injury. Having
wrestled at his high school in Adak, Alaska, he prided himself on his work
ethic, in and out of the gym. But after four knee surgeries ended Pinson's
wrestling career, he saw first-hand how important trainers were in helping
athletes to maintain their health and high level of play. This realization drove
him to pursue a career as an athletic trainer.
"It's a great feeling to know that even though we're behind the scenes, athletic trainers are at the forefront of an athlete's health care," Pinson says. "We want to provide student-athletes with the best products and services possible."
After graduating from Oregon State University with a bachelor's degree in athletic training, Pinson was offered a graduate assistant position at Northern Arizona University working with the cross country and track and field training staff. Although Pinson was unfamiliar with these sports, he soon found himself learning new facets of his profession and growing within his field.
"Athletes are athletes and soft tissue's soft tissue, but there's definitely a different mindset between sports," Pinson says. "As an athletic trainer, I always loved wrestling, football, and hockey – sports where I'm always busy. But at the same time, cross country and track and field really challenged me in terms of getting to know injuries and athletes – where they can push themselves, and where they need to pull back."
Pinson's drive and initiative working as an assistant on the university's training staff got him noticed. In 2007, Pinson was offered the head athletic trainer position.
The title comes with heavy responsibility, Pinson says, including traveling with the teams and overseeing the day-to-day operations of the entire program. Making the transition, though, was no problem; Pinson says the support system he found upon accepting the job helped him to acclimate smoothly.
"I had the support of the coaches and athletic administration to take on the position," Pinson says. "Everyone was so willing to work with me and help me through the growing pains of being a young professional."
In his role, Pinson employs three additional athletic trainers and six graduate assistants to help him manage each sport's games, practices, and any related events.
Working with a new generation of trainers has allowed Pinson to act as a mentor to current students looking to become full-time trainers or physicians. He says his mentoring approach depends on the situation, but that he always strives to instill a passion for the work and a drive to learn in his assistants.
"Sometimes, I like to lead by example, but I don't want to be too much of a micromanager for the team," Pinson says. "I let them go through the growing pains when it comes to athletics, but also try be there for them as a mentor and remind them that their education is very important. I've come full circle."

Justin Bieber's DNA Test Results for Paternity Case Are MIA
This story just won't die. Justin Bieber, who stoked the fires of the Mariah Yeater paternity case by writing a song about it and by mentioning it in every major (and not to mention, rare) interview that he does, has another headache on his hands regarding that drama.
According to The Daily News, Yeater's attorney Jeffery Leving claims he has not received test results from the DNA test that The Biebs publicly claimed he took in order to clear his name.
Yeater insisted that The Biebs fathered her son Tristyn, now 15 months, after a tryst (or in her eyes, a "Tristyn") in the Staples Center bathroom, which is ironic since that's actually where The Biebs held a date night with Selena Gomez, renting the place out and watching 'Titanic' with her.
Leving said, "I have not seen [Bieber's] DNA test results or had them scrutinized. If there was a first test, and I have no documentation to say there even was, I wasn't provided with the results. I have not had my demands for an independent DNA test carried out by Mr. Bieber."
So Maury Povich can put a lid on saying, "Justin, you are NOT the father," for a hot minute.
Yeater filed the papers a year ago. A few weeks later, she withdrew, looking to settle out of court. Leving said they were asking Biebs to do a confidential DNA test. The Biebs went on 'The View' to say he took the test. Leving would not further discuss any communication he has had with The Biebs' legal eagles. He also would not say if he was preparing new litigation for his client. His only proclamation?
Bieber "is either the father or he isn't. And if he is then he needs to step up to the plate and pay child custody."
A Yeater source says the mom (or gold digger, depending on your perspective) would like to see The BIebs involved in "their" son's life, but she also wants closure, since Beliebers have taken to threatening her life. "For the last year, she has been the victim of death threats, derision and distasteful treatment," said the source. "Being a single mom is tough enough without being caught up in one of the biggest scandals in pop music."
Well, she did bring it on herself...
PopCrushers, is this story tiring to you at this point?

Lamar to announce 2013 University Professor Award recipient Wednesday
Lamar University will announce the recipient of its 2013 University Professor Award during a program Wednesday, April 10 in the University Reception Center on the eighth floor of the Mary and John Gray Library. A reception begins at 2 p.m., and the announcement and awards are scheduled for 2:30 p.m.
The title of University Professor – awarded for life in recognition of distinguished teaching – is the most prestigious faculty award given by the academic community of Lamar University.
The recipient will also become Lamar's 2013-2014 Ann Die-Hasselmo Scholar, made possible by the creation and funding of the Lamar University Faculty Excellence Endowment by Hasselmo, a 1966 LU graduate. Hasselmo and her husband, Nils, will attend the ceremony.
Honored as Lamar's 1986 Regents' Professor, Hasslemo was a longtime faculty member whose career path took her to top university administrative positions and other roles devoted to strengthening academic leadership. The University Professor will be the second Hasselmo Scholar.
Lamar officials also will introduce Lamar's 2013 Research Scholar, present University Merit Awards to four junior faculty members who have exhibited outstanding performance in the classroom and recognize 14 faculty members who have retired or will retire during the 2012-2013 academic year.

Call for a National Campaign For Defence of the Indian Constitution.
This statement is being circulated as a contribution to the ongoing public discussion on the current events. "The recent events in Gujarat demonstrate without a shadow of doubt that a section of the Indian ruling establishment is generating communal conflict and undermining the Indian Constitution. It includes political leaders, officials and extra-constitutional centres of power such as the RSS and its fronts."

Banishing Bureaucracy: The Five Strategies for Reinventing Government
Addison Wesley Publishing Company, 1997 - 397 pages
If you want to help your city save more without cutting service levels, as Indianapolis did; if you need to do more with half the staff, as New Zealand's state-owned enterprises did; if you want to double the effectiveness of your organization, as the U.S. tactical Air Command did—read this book.In the pages of Banishing Bureaucracy, David Osborne, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Reinventing Government, and Peter Plastrik, one of the most respected innovators to come out of state government in the past decade, provide a road map by which reinventors and political thinkers of all persuasions can actually make "reinvention" work.Reinvention is not just another word for reform, nor is it synonymous with downsizing, or privatization, or simply cutting waste and fraud. It is about something much deeper, something tantamount to changing the very "DNA" of public organizations so that they habitually innovate, continually improving their performance without having to be pushed from outside. It is about building an entrepreneurially minded public sector with a built-in drive to improve—what some would call a self-renewing system.Obviously, this is complex work that requires careful strategy, and that is just what Banishing Bureaucracy provides. David Osborne and Peter Plastrik lay out what they call the "Five Cs" for successfully reinventing public organizations:The Core Strategy, to help them create clarity of purpose.The Consequences Strategy, to introduce consequences for their performance.The Customer Strategy, to make them accountable to their customers.The Control Strategy, to empower organizations and their employers to innovate.The Culture Strategy, to change the habits, hearts, and minds of public employees.Drawing on a rich base of American and international case-studies, Banishing Bureaucracy delivers the battle-tested, strategic thinking that has proved itself around the globe, in every area of government—from national to local, from defense to day care.

2010 – Australia gets R18+.
So many things are coming in 2010.. namely games.
Australia might be getting a R18+ rating and that is probably one of the biggest events of the new year mainly because it lets games come in uncensored, unedited and how they were intended to be this means we Aussies might be getting games like, this might make games harder to get for us younger looking teenagers that haven't seemed to look any more different than we did 10 years ago we can still fool uncles, grannies and any relative into getting them FOR us 😀
- Alien Versus Predator (Rebellion Developments), and most likely Aliens:Colonial Marines
- Possible uncensored copies of Left 4 Dead 2? Or fallout 3 GOTY edition, hell anything censored here
last but definitely not least..
- SEXY POKER! (Wiiware) what can be said? Definitely looks interesting to me :D.
So 2010 is definately a year to be remembered as to some might say

Flotsam and Jetsam
--If You See Something is apparently no longer updating? It was pretty good. It did a good job of making a comic that was about politics but still felt like a webcomic, not an editorial cartoon. One I particularly liked (though not political) was this one. I know he draws Alien Loves Predator but I didn't really like that one too much.
--Spanish xkcd is also apparently not updating anymore. I always found those amusing.
--Abstruse Goose #85 seemed like a pretty big ripoff of Isaac Asimov's short story The Last Question and annoyed me for that reason. Update: Ok, well apparently the author agrees with me, to judge from comic 87. At least the thing I thought it was a ripoff of was on there. In any case, copying an old concept, adding nothing new to it, and then saying "ha ha, this concept sure is old!" is not OK. Also, totally misconstrues the bible, which is usually something I condone. But that's not at all what that part of the bible is talking about.
--The Onion with Bush Gettin' Hurt stories: If the first two installments didn't convince, the third and fourth should: The Onion is, inexplicably, running a bunch of short news stories about Bush getting horribly injured. And...I don't get it. First off, having a running series like this strikes me as very unusual for The Onion. And none of them strike me as particularly funny. Maybe they are leading up to something at the end, when he leaves office, or maybe after like 8 of them it'll suddenly get funny, like Sideshow Bob stepping on rakes. What do other people think?
--Lastly, to connect this at least a little related to xkcd: Hurrah, Randall has written a new blog post. It's a bit funny, though in all honesty, only two made me laugh out loud and they were both on the "I didn't think of it first" list (they were "Spocktoberfest" and "my bologna has a first name, it's A-D-O-L-F") I was in a library, too, so laughing loudly may have been a poor choice.
3 comments:
The "crocodile bites of Bush's arm" and "Bush dragged behind motorcade" stories were funny, if only for bringing great images to mind. I think they work whether you hate Bush and want to imagine catastrophe striking him or just appreciate something so surreal getting a tiny mention in the news.ReplyDelete
- Lint of DeathDecember 6, 2008 at 1:14 AM
I think it was said by someone else the last time the Onion thing was brought up on this blog, but I think the joke is that those stories are 'in brief' and tucked quietly in the tiny text of the run-off Onion news. He's our President, yet people probably wouldn't flinch if such things were real news.ReplyDelete
Thomas - surely you'd agree that the kidney stone one was gross enough to make up for those two. Anyway I just don't happen to find them funny, it's good to know that someone does. Perhaps you are getting out of it what they intended.ReplyDelete
Lint - you have a great name and maybe you are right but that doesn't really seem likely. The joke is just that they're brief rather than full stories? Maybe, as I keep saying, I can't figure these out at all. In any case, I'm not sure that explanation works for why there have been new ones every week.

Ashamed? I'm proud to have a disability
I'm not going to sugar coat it: living with a disability is at times really tough. Growing up, I remember feeling anxious at the thought of not fitting in; having to sit on the sidelines watching my friends do whatever they wanted.
I experienced that feeling when people used to call me names, like 'cripple' or 'spastic', and starting to believe them and it would make me embarrassed that I was different.
But as I grew older, I slowly started to love the fact I had a disability. I started being PROUD of the fact I had a disability. And why wouldn't I be proud? Everyone in life wants to be different. They wear different clothes, different hairstyles, drive different cars and have different jobs.
People make decisions all the time that separate them from the crowd so what better way to be different than to have a disability.
But as I progressed through life, I learnt that for the vast majority of people with disability this wasn't the case for them. I would get really surprised when people didn't admit they had a disability.
To this day, I still see people sharing their stories and saying that "my whole life, my family and friends taught me that I didn't have a disability, and that I should tell people I'm not disabled". Why? Because being disabled means you're broken, less capable, unemployable and un-dateable. I hate it when people say this because it means they're embarrassed to say they're disabled.
I still get confused when countless Paralympians call themselves 'Olympians'. They didn't go to the Olympics they went to the Paralympics, and what's wrong with that?
Why don't people want to admit to themselves that they have disabilities?
The answer is simple. Unfortunately, when you do speak up, society immediately places limitations on what they believe you can achieve. They say you can't do the work of an able -bodied person. or believe you are less productive or skilful. And for many, they believe that rules you out of the dating world as well.
To me, that sucks and makes me sad. And the worst part, these misconceptions are completely and utterly untrue.
Having a disability is a natural, normal part of society. It can happen to anyone, at any stage, even to you reading this. No one is immune. Disability does not discriminate!
But contrary to what many in the able-bodied world may think, having a disability isn't a death sentence either. I have spent my life, and the work I do through my new disability and accessibility training start up Get Skilled Access, changing the way people with disability are perceived in our community, normalising disability, and altering the existing negative stigmas and prejudice into positives.
I want people all around this country to feel comfortable to be able to say they're disabled. I want them to be proud of their abilities and differences, and be able to get out and live the happy and successful lives they deserve to live.
I want them to be able to shop, travel, work, laugh, live and love just like everybody else. But in order to do so, we as a society need to continue to further our expectations of what people with disability can actually do. We need to stop overcomplicating disability. We need society to employ us, treat us like customers, and not be afraid to start a conversation.
It is an incredible honour for me to be named the 2017 Patron of International Day of People with Disability. I hope I can give the position the justice it deserves.

Australian actress MARGOT ROBBIE has turned down HUGH HEFNER's offer of a Playboy photoshoot.
The blonde beauty caught Hefner's attention with her saucy role in The Wolf of Wall Street, and the Playboy mogul made a public plea for her to strip off for his magazine.
However, Robbie has now insisted she will not be posing for Playboy any time soon.
During an interview with New Zealand radio station The Edge, she was asked whether she had accepted Hefner's offer and Robbie replied, "False… No. Never. I've put my family through enough…"
She later joked that she would only consider posing for Playboy if she was much older and her career had taken a downward turn, adding, "Then I'll give him a call."

Scott noted yesterday the discovery of what was described as "the makings of a bomb" in a rental car at the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. The item left in the car, while certainly suspicious-looking, apparently turns out to be innocent:
A suspicious item found in a rental car at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was a scientific instrument used to record water temperature, airport officials said Monday.
This reminds me of a story a friend of mine told several years ago. He is a salesman for a medical device company and sells, among other things, heart valves, some of which are made from the valves in pigs' hearts. One day, he boarded an airplane to return from a series of sales calls; the flight was delayed until two uniformed police officers boarded the airplane. The officers marched down the aisle until they got to my friend, and asked whether he was Mr. ____. They then said to take his carryon luggage and follow them off the airplane. Bewildered, my friend asked what it was all about. One of the officers replied, in a booming voice, that human body parts had been found in the trunk of his rental car. You can imagine the horror with which the other passengers watched my friend disembark.
He eventually convinced the police that what had been found in the trunk were pigs' heart valves that he had inadvertently left behind, but not until after he had missed his flight.

Thanks for the link. Also I hope to see binaries of CSE TilEm for Windows at some point, so I can link to them.I also forgot if there is an Android version of Firebird Emu?
Edit: technically, kArmTI isn't outdated, since IIRC it's based on the latest nspire_emu (which is old but doesn't get new versions since Firebird is its logical successor) and gets updated from time to time... But yeah, its emulation accuracy is not as good as Firebird.
@Dudeman313: it's $20 btw.

2015 Ford Focus ST To Debut at Goodwood in England
Ford's created quite the industry buzz with its EcoBoost line of efficient turbocharged four and six-cylinder engines. They power a multitude of Ford and Lincoln road iron including the light and nimble Fiesta ST to the Flex, SHO and even F-150 trucks. Mustang enthusiasts will experience Ecoboost in 2015, as the 300-plus hp 30-mpg turbo-four models hit the streets in just a few months.
Meanwhile, Ford is busy improving the brand with the latest popular Focus St, which has a slathering of upgrades for the 2015 model year.
The new Ford Focus ST will make its global debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom tomorrow, June 27. Ford's new performance model headlines the First Glance category, with professional drivers showcasing the car's abilities on the world-famous hill climb on all three days of the event.
First launched in 2002, Focus ST has now seen sales of more than 140,000 units in more than 40 countries. Ford is also teaming up with Sony Computer Entertainment to stage the first-ever "virtual versus real" race on the hill. On its first run each day, the new Focus ST will compete in real time against the Focus ST featured in the Gran Turismo®6 game for PlayStation®3.
A designated gamer at the Ford stand will match skills against Ben Collins—formerly The Stig of Top Gear—with the action displayed on big screens throughout the festival. Visitors to the Ford stand also have the chance to record their own times on the Gran Turismo 6 simulators.
Also starring at Goodwood will be the all-new Ford Mustang that makes its first U.K. appearance. A 5.0-liter V8 fastback will take part in the Supercar Class, with Ford Team RS vehicle dynamics specialist David Put at the wheel. Ford also will display a Mustang convertible. The Focus ST retains the 252 hp engine and Mustang 360 is excited to get one soon for testing.

In today's too-busy FaceBook-Bluetooth-iPhone-Twitter world, a very successful businessman (real estate artist and author) has made the time to walk his daughter to school every single school day since she was 4-years-old and in Pre-Kindergarten.
On May 16, Frank McKinney will walk his daughter Laura to St. Vincent Ferrer School for the last time – a tradition that started over 1,650 walks ago, and has carried on unbroken since Laura's first day of Pre-Kindergarten on August 21, 2002. That's right; Laura has never been driven to school in the 10 years since she started Pre-Kindergarten. Rain, cold, wind, even hurricane warnings… it didn't matter! Frank and Laura experienced epic adventures, stories, and wildly imaginative games on their daily odyssey!
What began as special time to spend together, just Dad and Daughter, has grown into an amazing daily ritual that now involves as many as one hundred of Laura's schoolmates who are eager to join them on the first Friday of every month. The 7-block walks, through the McKinney's jungle-like back yard, past an eerie nature preserve, and over a 1949 drawbridge, inspired Frank McKinney's young reader fantasy novel; Dead Fred, Flying Lunchboxes, and the Good Luck Circle (www.Dead-Fred.com).
Perhaps the most inspiring part of the story is it happened in today's world of too-busy-to-care dads and disconnected parent/children relationships.

We're one week into August: High vacation season here in Chestnut Hill. The phone stops ringing. Emails go unanswered, save for the recurring "out-of-office" replies that pile up in my in-box.
News here in the neighborhood has been slow to come by as well. All has been quiet in Chestnut Hill. Now that the Pastorius Park Concert Series has ended, it's essentially a month-long wait for September when people return from the shore and go back to work.
The last several days, however, have not been quiet for the news business. Two big deals have dramatically changed ownership, and perhaps the direction, of two major American newspapers.
On Friday we learned that John Henry, an investment banker who owns both the Boston Red Sox and the LiverpoolFC soccer club, was going to purchase The Boston Globe for some $70 million from The New York Times.
Late on Monday an even greater shock was reported. The Graham family, which has owned The Washington Post for generations and built it into one of the most respected news organizations in the world, has agreed to sell the business to billionaire Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos for $250 million.
It's hard not to see these transactions as proof positive that the newsprint business is in serious trouble – that the news business is not the sort of private enterprise that can sustain the sort of growth demanded by investors in the public market. It's hard not to imagine that we'll soon read of a similar fate at The New York Times. The business of the news has not been a winner.
In an interview, Donald Graham, president and CEO of The Washington Post, said his company had seen rapidly declining revenue for seven straight years. His sale to Bezos was an admission that the company no longer knew how to steer The Washington Post to profitability.
With both transactions comes the fear that private owners like Henry and Bezos will find it difficult not to exert control over coverage. Also, these businessmen have a predisposition to secrecy that might make sense in their respective businesses, but not in the media business where the best policy is always about being open. It's about building relationships with readers as well as advertisers.
It's easy to see, however, how papers as publicly held businesses have been a big part of what hurt them to begin with. Knight-Ridder, the company that at one time owned dozens of newspapers across the country, including The Philadelphia Inquirer, dissolved primarily because investors demanded profits and a growth rate of 20 percent and more – a margin that flies in the face of building a long-term institution that depends on the public's trust to succeed.
What will these new investors do to turn around these shrinking businesses? How will they build reader trust? How will they convince advertisers to remain paying customers?
Well-known author and journalist Jeff Jarvis (brother of Chestnut Hill Presbyterian pastor Cindy Jarvis) said in a Google post on Tuesday morning that he's hopeful that Bezos, in particular, would help lead the way in finding a business model that would help rescue not only the Post but other newspapers as well.
It's definitely an uncertain time for newspapers and the business of journalism. But the future doesn't necessarily have to look so dim. Perhaps we'll witness the rejuvenation of these institutions. Let's hope so.

Adapter fits:
- VW Air-cooled
- VW Air-cooled Van
All adapters retain use of original clutch and fit WARP, HPEV AC31/AC50/AC75 and ADC Motors.
Taper lock Verses set screw hubs info:
Over the years there have been two ways of holding the adapter hub to the motor shaft and it causes great debates. The taper lock hub uses three or more bolts to pull the hub onto a tapered locking sleeve. This works well if the bolts are done up gradually and evenly and the sleeve does not move on the shaft while your pulling the two parts together. The biggest problem is pulling them on straight. If they are pulled a bit crooked then you end up with a flywheel wobble and vibration. There is also a chance that while pulling the two parts together the inner sleeve will move on the shaft which moves the position of the flywheel and the clutch will not work properly. CEV has used the taper lock hub on its S-10 and air cooled VW adapters for a long time but due to occasional wobble problems we switch to set screw hubs on all adapters with no more problems. Our set screw hubs slide all the way onto the shaft and bottom on the motor front bearing. This eliminates any chance that the hub could move in the future. All the clutch force is transmitted directly to the bearing rather than through the set screw. Some The setscrew hubs (not ours) were installed on the motor shaft to the correct distance from the adapter face ( the magic number). Then a small hole drilled in the motor shaft and a set screw done up to keep it in the right place. Over time this could wear and the set screw could come loose from repeated use of the clutch.
Reasons for clutch-type adapters:
1. Safety disconnect. If the motor were to lock up you can disconnect it from the rear axle and avoid locking up the rear wheels.
2. If the controller were to fail full ON (and they do) you can disconnect the motor so your not rocketing through a stop sign.
3. Have your tried to shift without a clutch? Yes you can get on to it but we like to build vehicles that anyone can jump into a drive without having to learn the "tricks" of shifting without the clutch.
4. We have built vehicles with both systems and find no noticeable difference that the extra flywheel weight makes. Yes there is a theoretical difference but I have never been able to tell by driving both systems in the same vehicle.
5. Most clutchless adapters are the same cost as our clutch adapters so no savings on cost.
6.There is no modification to the clutch to work with our adapters. We make the drive end of the motor "look" like the back end of the gas engine so the flywheel bolts on just like stock.
Some adapter plates may have more or less bolt holes than your make and model of vehicle requires. As some adapters span a broad range of model years the adapter is designed to have enough bolt holes to be compatible with all model designs.

Interestingly, from that brief snippet, we can only make out Apostles sitting in the stands. I wonder if this will be something exclusively to keep the demonic populace at bay? A place where the demons can satisfy their bloodlust without any innocent bystanders getting killed in the process?
I'm hoping that Ominous shot of the dome, comes at the end and is to inform the readers that, NO, the coliseum that we've just been introduced to in this episode is not the dome. The dome remains ominous and unknown.
do you think we'll get the conversation with Griffith and Rickert in this episode?
It's funny to see Erica talk about her father's inventions, and see Daiba and Luca doubt the usefulness of a sword that's bigger than its wielder. I imagine the unseen panels has them connect the dots and realize Guts is the one wielding said sword.
Mortal Kombat in the arena. Final boss : Femto. Unlockable characters. Ok I shut up now.I can,t wait to know more about the conversation with Erica, Lucas and Daiba!
Am I the only one wondering what purpose Rickert serves to Griffith? At this stage, what use does Rickert have in Griffith's master plan and what's his ulterior motive for giving him an audience? Granted, he's a skilled blacksmith, but Griffith is a demi-god with a horde of demons at his command and the combined armies of Midland & Kushan etc. Is Rickert really going to have much impact? And I sincerely doubt that Griffith's worried about Rickert spilling the beans about the Eclipse, if he even dared to. So what's the bastard up to?
And I can't shake the feeling that we'll see the ghosts of the fallen Falcons. 'Divine Right' seemed like a foreshadowing of this, if nothing else. I think that's going to be how Griffith finally wins Rickert over.
And as tool I mean Rickert trying to convince Guts to join Griffith or leave him alone.
I don't think he has some grand evil scheme regarding Rickert. Though Griffith might not yet know the full extent of his abilities, he could certainly be put to work outfitting humans with machinery to defend against magical creatures (like, say, that mounted crossbow repeater he created). I see him filling a role as a kind of new age inventor moving forward.
I think that would have the opposite effect, honestly. Also, those souls have long since joined the vortex and lost their individuality. Unless you think the whole thing is a show Griffith created?
Griffith is a demi-god with a horde of demons at his command and the combined armies of Midland & Kushan etc.

A Pushback Against Push Carts
I'm a pretty mild-mannered guy. I can probably count on one hand the times I've felt my blood boil over boneheaded views about golf. Golf is a big tent, with lots of room for different approaches and attitudes. That's part of what makes it so great.
But this week, I will admit, I got steamed again when I heard about the pushback against push carts at the NCAA golf championships at Prairie Dunes in Hutchinson, Kan. Golf Channel's coverage last weekend through Wednesday was terrific. One thrill for me was seeing quite a few of the players, including this year's individual NCAA men's champion, Cameron Wilson of Stanford, using three-wheeled push carts to transport their clubs.
"Yes!" I thought when I tuned in. "Finally maybe the tide is turning."

Shyne Inc
I am sales executive in the gift and women's accessories field in the United States. I have developed and expanded my business and have started my own Corporation. I plan to expand both in the Retail and Wholesale fields. Eventually, this will also include product distribution as well. A lot of what I market is women's accessories such as handbags and jewelry along with some general gift items. I originally chose the name Shyne because it comes from a song that gives hope and postive attitude. We changed the name from Shine to Shyne so it would stick out. It means the same as the word Shine.
Our target market is women between the ages of 13 and 55. We are targeting an existing market with proven lines. However, we are opening our retail store in a Suburban market with a small town feel. This area is expanding with growth and mostly white collar. This is a family oriented area that prefers a professional look.
We are not designers and would really like to use your fresh ideas. Here are our high level requirements...
* The Name "Shyne" must be in it.
* It must be professional and crisp looking (No cartoons)
* It must be pleasing to the woman's eye
* Please be ceative and remember our name and type of product
* Would like it to be something that can be used on letterhead, business cards, web site and marketing tools.

Most Malaysians love clams, especially those stir-fried with a spicy chili paste.
I love clams; I grew up eating all sort of clams as my late mother would buy clams from the market and cooked them into a variety of delectable dishes, such as chili clams.
(Check out my chili crab recipes here and here.)
One of my favorite childhood memories was the many clam digging picnics with my late parents, at the beaches in Penang, and Kedah—my mother's seaside hometown.
Whenever we went to a beach, we would dig up the sands in search of clams, or siput.
We would spend hours until we harvested enough clams for dinner, I was always so excited whenever we went to the beach.
The few years when I was in the midwest of America, I was constantly craving for fresh clams.
But alas, there were never any live clams at the markets there, due to the cold weather.
Once in a while, our local Chinese restaurants would get some clams, but most of the times, the clams were stale and they were simply horrendous to eat.
I am so blessed that I am now in the west coast where fresh and live clams are always available at Asian stores, and I can have my fix of chili clams whenever I like.
The briny and sweet flavours of clams pair perfectly with the spicy chilli and bean sauce in this chili clams recipe.
Please take note that each clam will cook at a different time, so as soon as the shell opens up, remove from the heat immediately.
If the clams don't open up, they are probably bad and should be discarded.

By Janet Tinsley, Africa project director, international programs
As we were driving through Monrovia during a recent project visit to Liberia, a unit of U.N. soldiers caught my attention. United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) troops, or ìblue hatsî as they are commonly known, are a familiar sight around the city, and they eventually blend into the background after a day or so in the country. But this particular unit captured my attention because they were unique ñ they were all Indian women.
Immediately, I turned to our project coordinator who was sitting next to me in the taxi and asked her about them. She explained that they were a special unit of Indian police officers who had been sent to Liberia to serve as U.N. police officers. She said they were also meant to be an inspiration to Liberian women to join the Liberian police.
I was intrigued. The notion of an all-female U.N. peace-keeping unit was interesting enough, because I was not aware of any other. But the fact that they were from India, another country where CFCA works and one with its own unique issues around the status of women, was exciting to me.
When I got home, I did some digging, and I learned that the U.N. has so far sent three all-female Indian units since 2007 to serve in Liberia. The most recent unit was deployed in early February of this year. They are known as the Indian Formed Police Unit (FPU), and their official mission is to provide crowd and traffic control, anti-robbery patrols, and protection for UNMIL staff and assets. But the less tangible attributes they bring to the job may even be more important.
Research from around the world shows that women police officers are adept at resolving conflicts through non-violent means. In a war-weary country like Liberia, this is a very valuable skill, and this makes the FPUís mission very important. The Indian officers also spend time with schoolgirls teaching self-defense techniques, self-esteem and even Indian dance. The presence of the female officers has been an inspiration to young Liberian women and girls, and the nation has seen an increase of women applying to join the Liberian police force.
The Indian women are certainly an inspiration to me, and I hope their presence leaves a lasting impression on the Liberian people, especially the girls, for whom the sky is the limit.

Brixen (Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Italy)
Brixen (Italian: Bressanone) is a city and district in Tyrol (now part of Südtirol, Italy), was formerly (after 992) an independent prince-bishopric, in which there were large numbers of Anabaptists by 1527. On 23 December 1527 the prince-bishop had sent out the order to watch roaming agitators, "among whom there are said to be some who preach in corners about the new sect and rebaptism." These should be immediately imprisoned. The Innsbruck government sent the bishop the printed mandates on the eradication of the Anabaptists with the request that he publicize them in Brixen.
In the following years Anabaptists are found both north and south of the Brenner in constantly increasing numbers, and sharp edicts are repeatedly issued against them. Nor did the bishop escape criticism for proceeding "with too slight and lax sentences" against the Brixen Anabaptists. He should henceforth follow the mandates. For it was in the Brixen fief of Michelsburg that Anabaptism had taken root. Numbers of Anabaptists were taken from here to Brixen and sentenced to death, with the exception of those of whom it was said "that they were in general quite simple and of slight intelligence." Among those released was Agnes, the sister of Jakob Hutter of Moos, the founder of the Hutterian Brethren; among those executed was Gregor Weber of Pflaurenz, who was frequently mentioned in the Puster Valley, Hutter's most intimate friend and a preacher.
In spite of the severity emphatically demanded by the government and exercised by the authorities against the Anabaptists their numbers continued to grow; it was difficult to seize them, for they moved with great caution, assembled in remote places, placed guards, and were sometimes warned of imminent danger by friends. In order to capture the objects of their persecution in the woods and quarries, it was often necessary to combine the police force of two or three counties. We still have the oldest confessions of the Anabaptists in Michelsburg.
Here persecution raged most violently and here Jakob Hutter engaged in his frequently described work (Loserth,56 ff.). "Like monks" the Tyrolese from this district streamed into Moravia. There was strife between the bishop of Brixen and the Innsbruck government on the exercise of regional jurisdiction, but in the matter of persecuting the Anabaptists they were of one mind; hence there were many victims in Brixen. Mandate upon mandate was issued against them, and repeatedly there is censure for the negligence, carelessness, and laxity of the officials, without which the movement could not have become so deeply rooted. Henceforth captured Anabaptists should be tried with "severe questioning" (i.e., on the rack) and punished according to the mandates. Whoever would shelter them or intentionally conceal them should be imprisoned and likewise severely questioned. Instructions were given in minutest detail on methods of procedure, the questions to be asked, how the expenses of the persecution are to be met, and what to do with the possessions of those punished; and lax officials were called to account.
Nevertheless the Anabaptist movement was not stamped out of Michelsburg in the following years, and the revolution in Münster gave all the powers hostile to the Anabaptists a most powerful weapon; for now even those who had heretofore been less severe lost their sympathy. While the news was being spread in Moravia "that there are not many Brethren left in the higher lands," persecution also flared up in Moravia, and many of the Anabaptists, including Jakob Hutter, returned to their old home, where of course no better lot awaited them. Even though the execution of Hutter (1536), "who had given a good lesson in his death," weakened the movement in the bishopric of Brixen, others soon followed in his steps and in the same year Anabaptists were again reported in Michelsburg. All efforts to master the situation seemed futile, for a large part of the populace openly sided with them or at least aided them. Hence the laments of the episcopal and civil officials that they could hardly depend on anyone. The defection from the Catholic Church was so marked that the number of those who had neglected the Easter confessional was announced as 600. After Hutter's death the movement centered about Offrus (Onufrius) Griesinger, and so the persecution continued in the following years.
In 1538 the Brixen government made the first serious attempt not to combat Anabaptism with violence alone, but also with open indoctrination by the priest Dr. Gallus Müller; but the capture and execution of Griesinger had a greater effect, without, however, wiping out the movement; for now it received a new leader in Hans Amon, called Tuchmacher, who came in haste from Moravia, and the mandates which were issued from time to time had so little effect that even members of the nobility joined the Anabaptists. A consultation between the Tyrolean government and that of Brixen in October 1539 on methods of stopping the spread of the movement, resulted in a tightening of the old orders; but now it was noted that no fewer than 600 persons had been executed in Tyrol and in spite of this or perhaps because of it the numbers had increased.
After 1540 the movement took a smoother course. Adherents attempted to remain loyal to the faith in secret and escape to Moravia where there was complete toleration. Anabaptist trials became less numerous, the procedure of the authorities grew more lenient, and the death penalty was imposed only on the preachers. The recognition that capital punishment alone would not suffice found general acceptance, and finally even Ferdinand I declared that he had "a horror" of these never-ending executions and that he considered it an error to exercise the extreme severity of the mandates against these poor misled people. More and more the principle was accepted that more was to be gained by indoctrination than by severity.
Sometimes the governments supported the flight to Moravia. At that time Ulrich Stadler, a native of Brixen, died there; he had been an influential preacher in Moravia, and had produced some important writings. The migration to Moravia did not end during the next two decades, and Brethren from Moravia found their way into Tyrol. We know of a letter sent by the congregation at Auspitz in Moravia on 13 August 1557 to a citizen of Brixen, and 10 years later we learn that there are Anabaptists there; when the more liberal practices were adopted in Moravia in the days of Maximilian II, which they themselves called "the golden time," the immigration increased until the end of the century when their situation in Moravia deteriorated. When Anabaptism became extinct in southern Tyrol cannot be ascertained from court records, but there are still traces of its presence in the first decades of the 17th century.

I have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic and would really like to get it under control before it becomes full blown diabetes. Over the past year I have experienced an increased numbness that started in my feet and is now pretty much all over my body to some degree. My carb cravings are crazy!
Does anyone have any strategies for dealing with this?

Don't let a crisis go to waste
Posted by Todd Miller in National infrastructure on May 15th, 2010
As was the case with millions of Americans, I had my own idealistic vision of what an Obama presidency might look like. One aspect of my view through the looking glass was a 21st century WPA.
In FDR's New Deal, taxpayer money was put to work through a variety of alphabet agencies. One of these was the Works Progress Administration, which invested heavily in the development of American infrastructure, including hydroelectric power. The New Deal put Americans to work, injecting sustained cash flow directly into the economy, while simultaneously building strategically important infrastructure. The thinking was that, if you're going to take on debt to finance stimulus, you might as well have something to show for it at the end of the day – like a 4 billion kilowatt-hour clean energy generator. While we now better understand the destructive environmental impact of hydroelectric dams, it's still important to consider the offsetting benefit of saved carbon emissions. For example, Hoover Dam saves 3.6 million metric tons of CO2 annually as compared with a coal-fired power plant.
I'm not arguing that America build more hydroelectric dams, though I do believe that stimulus would be well spent on strategic clean energy infrastructure that offers the following potential benefits:
· Job creation
· Energy independence
· Reduced carbon emissions
· Development of American clean energy technologies and industries
It has been estimated that a 100 square mile thermal solar generator could replace all the fossil fuels now burned to generate electricity in the entire U.S. That's about half the size of Tucson, AZ. Of course, the thing only works when the sun is shining, but point is that clean energy independence seems well within the scope of possibility of the country that landed men on the moon over 40 years ago.
When the $787 billion stimulus package, officially known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was unveiled, I hoped to see many of the kinds of great public works projects produced by FDR's WPA. Unfortunately, only $150 billion, or 19%, of the package was actually carved out for public works projects for transportation, energy and technology.
And, as LA Times' Robert Simon reported in "Obama stimulus: More old school fix-ups, less New Deal grandeur," much of the money allocated for public works is being spent on infrastructure repairs like fixing potholes as opposed to great new WPA-esque projects.
Robert Poole, director of transportation policy at the Reason Foundation, a Los Angeles-based free-market think tank, said: "Obama's early statements on the stimulus, comparing its impact to that of [President] Eisenhower's interstate highway program, created a false expectation that it would be comparable to the New Deal in building great new public works. The sad reality is that the bill Congress wrote and Obama signed is mostly make-work stuff."
"Few of the [stimulus] projects are transformative," said Joseph Schofer, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Northwestern University.
No doubt, America's infrastructure is badly in need of repair. In its 2009 Report Card for America's Infrastructure, The American Society of Civil Engineers gave the nation's infrastructure and overall grade of D, concluding that $2.2 trillion was needed in repairs and upgrades over the next five years in order to maintain "adequate conditions." Investing in the proper maintenance of America's current infrastructure is necessary and will yield an economic dividend, however, America needs to go beyond merely maintaining its 20th century public works. It needs to build 21st century infrastructure.
Rahm Emanuel said: "Don't let a crisis go to waste." No one understood this better than FDR, who leveraged the crisis of the Great Depression for America's long-term benefit. Over half a century later, the green hydroelectric power spawned by the New Deal still drives a surprising portion of America's economic engine. A New New Deal would project a successful vision from America's past toward its 21st century future, creating an America powered by clean energy, independent of foreign oil and its associated baggage, an America which incubates green technologies that will propel the next wave of innovative industry, and transitions an army of labor into a new generation of green energy manufacturing jobs.

Saving Lives
We're an American outdoor gear company… with a mission.
Since 1984, Sawyer Products has offered the best, most technologically advanced solutions for protection against sun, bugs, water & injuries. Making outdoor recreational users happy and safe is only half of our goal though.
We want to help change the world.
To do that, we're dedicated to eliminating two of the biggest causes of death in the world: bad water and mosquito bites.
We acquired Coulston Products in 1999, the company that helped develop the use of permethrin, an insect repellent treatment for clothing that provides protection for U.S. troops and outdoor enthusiasts and was adapted for use on mosquito nets now widely used in Africa, saving millions of lives. Sawyer partnered with the World Health Organization (WHO) to conduct the underlying studies that led to the widespread use of repellent on mosquito netting.
And we are also the proud developers of point-of-use water filters that filter contaminated water to levels cleaner than U.S. bottled water. Developed using advanced kidney dialysis filtration technology, our hollow fiber membrane filters are the fastest, easiest, and most cost efficient way to deliver clean water anywhere. They are small, portable, don't require chemicals, a power source, or trained operator for use or maintenance.
Sawyer International
We launched the Sawyer International campaign to enable individuals to easily join us in bringing clean, safe water quickly and inexpensively to people in need. We've partnered with several prominent humanitarian organizations that are working toward solving the global water crisis and are sharing the inspirational stories of lives changed that we've personally witnessed.
If you want to personally help, there are many ways you can get involved.
If you wish to get your own group involved, please contact us for more information on how you can join the water revolution and help save lives.

Already five years behind schedule and about $12 million over budget, a new pump station to prevent flooding in Seal Beach still hasn't been finished – and won't be for another six months, say county officials.
The construction of the Los Alamitos Pump Station was so mismanaged that engineers had to replace four brand-new pumps before they ever saw a drop of rain. But with the hiring of a new construction company, SS Mechanical of Huntington Beach, the project is back on track, said the county's chief engineer, Ignacio Ochoa.
"The project is going extremely well," Ochoa said.
Originally tagged at $21.7 million, the project will come in at about $33 million. The county hopes to recoup the overage by suing the original contractor, Corona-based SSC Construction Inc., Ochoa said.
SSC Construction has countered in legal papers that the county was at fault for the delays and rising costs.
The pump station and a new water basin were originally intended to keep Seal Beach from getting flooded again after the overwhelming rains of January 1995. The existing station has a pump capacity of 400 cubic feet of water per second. The new station will have twice the pumping capacity.
The original contract was inked in August 2007 with a two-year completion date. The new station was supposed to gather flood waters into a large basin and pump it into the San Gabriel River. Key to the project were the four pumps, each fitted with one-piece bronze impellers – fanlike devices that pull in the water.
The county contract specified bonze impellers because that is what Los Angeles County uses.
But according to the county's lawsuit, the contractor tried to swap out the bronze impellers for ones made of stainless steel. There is some argument in the industry that welded stainless steel impellers are less expensive but more rugged.
The county and SSC argued about the stainless steel impellers, which were installed. The stainless steel devices were eventually replaced with bronze, but the pumps had been stored so poorly that there were concerns that the fittings were misshapen. The pumps are being replaced.
"It's 180 degrees from prior contractors," Ochoa said. "We have until July to finish, but by late spring we'll have a fully operational pump station."
SSC Construction argues in a county claim it is owed $7 million for the project, covering more than 1,000 additional working days. The company also blames the county for delaying the project by taking too much time to acquire land necessary for the improvements.
"Throughout the past six years, the District has misrepresented facts, failed to deal with critical contractual issues in a timely manner, and in many instances failed to respond to critical project correspondence," said the claim from SSC Construction.
