awww mannn, would you please just get a load of this: what the heck are those???
don't get all worked up now. if you want to eat these gorgeous little fellas, you're gonna have to talk with this guy:
lucky for you, he's about the nicest dude in the whole world.
who is he? his name is greg, and he is the one and only man behind Neighbor, a radical bakery here in this gorgeous little city by the bay.
greg does his thing in the dogpatch, and he does it while you are asleep. at least, he does it while *i* am usually asleep, til i said "enough of this whole greg-only-bakes-when-i'm-asleep-thing! i am going to visit that man!" so visit him i did. and i saw lots of stuff like this:
are you kidding me??? that's like a god damn snow kissed morning on a mountain top! (actually, it's more like a pistachio & blackberry jam croissant.)
greg does it all himself, 7 days a week. the dude is a horse. a very sweet, knowledgable, generous horse. get a load of his blueberry sunflower muffin, just staring at you, taunting you, begging you to take a bite:
so he bakes up all these scrumptious goodies in the dark of night (while listening to fela kuti), and then delivers them to cafes around the city, such as FourBarrel (have you ever heard of these guys? i've got a little crush on them), Sightglass, Cafe Sophie, and Elite Audio Coffee Bar.
the dude's got skills, and he ain't afraid to let em shine. in fact, some people say his croissants are the best in the whole frikkin city. do you agree?
quit scratchin your chin and get your a$$ down to FourBarrel and decide for yourself. and tell em Josey Baker sent ya.

Local legislators give their takes on 'Obamacare"
RALEIGH � More than one person Thursday referred to Senate Bill 4 as a speeding train, and for good reason.
The bill to prohibit state government involvement in the Affordable Care Act � commonly known as �Obamacare� � and to reject any expansion of Medicaid is already at the Senate floor and ready for full debate.
And it�s only the third official day of the 2013 session of the General Assembly.
Thursday morning, the Senate convened, performed the necessary ceremonial tasks, sent SB 4 to the Insurance Committee and adjourned until noon. Once in committee, Sen. Tom Apodeca, R-Henderson, and Sen. Floyd McKissick, D-Durham, conducted a debate that will likely be reprised on the Senate floor.
Apodeca is a primary sponsor of the bill, as are Sens. Harry Brown, R-Onslow, and Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg.
Apodeca explained that in the Republican majority�s belief, it was better for the federal government to run a state health benefit exchange if it wishes, instead of the state dealing with all the strings and constraints that come with operating under the federal government�s parameters.
Sen. Louis Pate, R-Wayne, is a co-sponsor of the bill and concurs.
�I think we still have states� rights, and as well as I recall, we�re supposed to,� said Pate, whose district includes a large portion of Lenoir County. �So, I think each state can make up its own mind. Unless something else changes, we�ve made up our mind here.�
Sen. Michael Walters, D-Robeson, countered on the claim the bill would disproportionately hurt poor and rural counties, where many people are on Medicare and Medicaid.
SB 4 would also block the ACA�s federal expansion of Medicaid eligibility. Instead, it states the responsibility for determining Medicaid eligibility should be left to the state.
Brown, whose district includes part of Jones County, said a Medicaid expansion would only make a bad problem worse.
�The only way most hospitals can survive today are people with insurance who can offset some of the Medicaid patients that are arriving in the hospitals today,� said Brown, who is also a Jones County native. �Your hospital, if it�s that mixed now, they�re going to struggle. If that mix gets even worse, I can promise you, they�re going to struggle even more.�
Brown went on to say the state budget couldn�t handle it either, adding, �Look at what happened last year. We had about a $500 million deficit in Medicaid just this last year. It�s a big driver of our budget. This year, the trend�s the same, and we�re looking at a deficit this year with our budget.
�Now we�re talking about expanding things, and I�ve seen numbers that say it may impact our budget by a billion dollars. Can anybody tell me where you�re going to find a billion dollars to offset that expansion in our budget today?�
After about 30 minutes, the question was called and the Insurance Committee reported the bill back to the Senate on a voice vote, where it will receive second reading.
Sen. Don Davis, D-Greene, acknowledged the reality facing his party to stop or alter the bill after coming out of a Senate Democratic Caucus meeting.
�I sat through the committee, and this thing seemed to be on the pretty fast track. You either jump on or the train keeps on moving,� Davis said. �Right now, I think it would be good if we could slow the train down and have honest debate and discussion about it, and its impact especially on rural communities, such as Eastern North Carolina, or rural communities in the western part of the state � all over the state. It would be of great benefit to have some debate.�

Breakout Box 1
Senate Bill 4 (same as House Bill 16) � �No N.C. Exchange/No Medicaid Expansion�

Local co-sponsor:
n Louis Pate, R-Wayne

Remote installation requirements and checklist for ESET Remote Administrator (5.x)
- Push installation fails
- Computers disappear from the Push install tab of ESET Remote Administrator
- Push installations hang at "In Progress"
- For registry permissions issues, review HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE permissions
Click to view instructions to perform a push installation.
ESET Remote Administrator (ERA) allows remote or "push" installations from the ESET Remote Administrator Console (ERAC) to any workstation on the network with a supported Windows operating system (see supported versions of Windows). The steps in this document describe the main requirements for the execution of this process. Verifying each of the tasks below is strongly recommended before performing the first trial installation on client workstations:
The client workstation where you are trying to install the ESET client solution remotely must answer a ping from the computer where ERA Server is installed.
If both the client workstation and the server are in a mixed environment of Domain and Work Group (or if ERA Server is running Windows 2003), Use simple file sharing (located under the Tools → Folder Options → View) should be disabled.
Workstation must have the shared resource ADMIN$ activated (Start → Control Panel → Admin Tools → Computer Mgmnt → Shared Folders → Shares).
The user performing the remote installation must have administrator rights.
For Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 operating systems, verify the following:
To set Domain Admin. permissions for ERA, navigate to Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Services. Right-click the ESET Remote Administrator Server service and click Properties from the context menu.
Click the Log On tab, and then select the radio button next to This account. Enter your Domain name and Admin account name in the This account field (for example: MyDomain\AdministratorAccountName), and then enter your Admin password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.
The ESET Remote Administrator service should be run with Domain Administrator permissions.
- To set Domain Admin. permissions for ERA, navigate to Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Services. Right-click the ESET Remote Administrator Server service and click Properties from the context menu.
The user with administrator rights must not have a blank password.
Verify that you can remotely log on to the workstation from the server.
Verify that the workstation can access IPC, by issuing the following from the Command Prompt on the workstation:
net use \\servername\IPC$
servernameis the name of the server running ERA.
The firewall on the network must not block communications or file sharing between servers and workstations.
- The ERA Server must allow data reception on ports 2221-2224.
- For Windows operating systems, verify the following:
- Client workstations are visible in both the server and the workstation connection.
- "File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is enabled (Control Panel→ Network Connections→ Network→ Properties).
- The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is running on the workstation.
- The Remote Registry service is running on the workstation.
- The RPC Locator service should be set to "manual" and need not be running.
If a computer disappears from ESET Remote Administrator (ERA), or hangs at "In Progress" during deployment, one of the following DNS troubleshooting processes could resolve the issue:
- Use the 'nslookup' command of the IP address and hostname of the server and/or the clients having push install issues. The results should match the information from the machine. For instance, an nslookup of a hostname should resolve to the IP address an ipconfig command shows on the host in question. The 'nslookup' command will need to be run on the clients and the server.
- Manually examine DNS records for duplicates.

Month by Month: July
BE AMAZED. Sure, fireworks are pretty dang cool. But what else amazes you this July? Personally, I find the unending energy of young boys constantly amazing. The beauty of summer evenings and the freedoms we enjoy here in the United States rank up there, too. This July, take a moment to stop and allow yourself to truly be amazed. Life really is cool.
My layout pick for July, which comes from my Month-by-Month Scrapbooking book, features some of my favorite pictures. I can't believe I never noticed before how utterly fabulous a child's face is when chasing bubbles. These particular photos started out with me trying to take some pictures of the boys in their new cowboy hats, and they ended up being pure delight. (By the way, it's difficult to tell, but some of these circles are actually holes in the page with clear transparencies in place to hold the pictures . . . very bubble-like.)
Bliss by Amanda Probst. Supplies Cardstock: Prism Papers; Acetate letters: Heidi Swapp for Advantus; Alcohol inks: Ranger Industries; Letter stickers: Making Memories; Stamp: Hero Arts; Ink: VersaMark, Tsukineko; Adhesive: Scotch, 3M; Other: Transparency.
Here are three more ideas to consider this July:
1. Journal big moments. Do you remember when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon on July 20, 1969? What are some other monumental dates you've experienced? Have you journaled about them? Even if you don't have any personal photos of the event, future generations will appreciate your thoughts and stories.
2. Combat boredom. July is Anti-Boredom Month. Who knew? If your kids are like mine, this is about the point in the summer when they start complaining about a lack of things to do. I've started making a list of ideas and am thinking about putting them into a jar to draw from, or placing them on a spinner, or perhaps even creating a big bull's-eye with foam darts. What do you do to combat boredom?
3. Imagine the power. As we celebrate the birth of our nation, consider what you would have done had you been one of the Founding Fathers. What unalienable rights do you hold dear . . . life, liberty, the pursuit of scrapbook supplies?
Now for challenge time. For July, I challenge you to capture fascination . . . be it in the face of a child chasing bubbles, in the eyes of your significant other riding a giant roller-coaster or in the look your neighbor gives you during a fireworks display. Join in and you'll have the opportunity to win a copy of my book, Month-by-Month Scrapbooking! Find out more at my Month-by-Month Scrapbooking group.

Legally speaking: A&M to SEC in fine-print stage
COLLEGE STATION - Information today flies at warp speed, here in the 24-second news cycle.
R.C. Slocum, winner of more football games at Texas A&M than anyone, called ours a microwave society late in his tenure that ended in 2002, around the time he determined this whole Internet thing wasn't going the way of the wishbone offense.
Fast-forward nearly a decade, and fans who've grown accustomed to having their news nearly the instant it exits a coach's or player's mouth are demanding an answer on Aggies-to-the-SEC.
Goodness gracious, they claim, it's been a week since the Southeastern Conference presidents put the "ball in the Aggies' court" - to quote one of the presidents - and nearly a week since A&M's regents cleared university president R. Bowen Loftin to take whatever action necessary on the alignment front.
But let's be clear: This is no microwave action. This is now Grandma Z back in Dime Box circa 1939, kneading dough from wheat grown on the family farm.
In other words, the Aggies and the SEC are neck deep in the part of the process that's as old school as it gets: poring over fine print and addressing every legal detail - and the many moving parts.
Last Monday, Loftin said following the regents' teleconference that A&M will leave no element untouched in addressing alignment.
"We want to really be sure that Texas A&M's visibility, nationally, is enhanced, and that for our student-athletes this is (for) the best, and we need to be sure we financially obtain the best resources we can for the purposes of the entire university's future," he said.
Let's Be Clear Part II: Everything is a go for A&M to the SEC, no matter the vocal protests of Baylor or anyone else in the Big 12, it's just a matter of finalizing details.
In terms of Big 12 exit fees, Nebraska's $9.25 million agreed upon last year, when the Cornhuskers announced they were bolting the Big 12 for the Big Ten, is perhaps in the ballpark of what A&M can expect.
Finally, and A&M insiders have harped on this as well: The move to the SEC is much bigger than any knee-jerk reaction to the Longhorn Network, it's about what Aggies leaders envision is in the best interests of the university years and a century from now.
Getting back to the homemade bread: "We really want to take our time and think about this very carefully, to listen to internal voices and external voices," Loftin said last week of the painstaking process at hand. "We're looking forward to working through this one step at a time."
A process not in step with the 24-second news cycle.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul, South Korea, crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday.
It wasn't immediately clear what happened to the plane as it was landing, but some eyewitnesses described the aircraft doing a cartwheel and other said that it appeared to sway back and forth kicking up dust. Many said the tail fell off.

TRAVEL: Airlines' schedules snarled
Stephanie Turner saw the plane going down and the rescue slides deploy, but returned to her hotel room before seeing any passengers get off the jet, she told ABC News. Turner said when she first saw the flight she noticed right away that the angle of its approach seemed strange.
"It didn't manage to straighten out before hitting the runway," she said. "So the tail of the plane hit the runway, and it cartwheeled and spun and the tail broke off … I mean we were sure that we had just seen a lot of people die. It was awful.
"And it looked like the plane had completely broken apart," she said. "There were flames and smoke just billowing."
Kate Belding was out jogging just before 11:30 a.m. PT on a path the water from the airport when she noticed the plane approaching the runway in a way that "just didn't look like it was coming in quite right."
"Then all of a sudden I saw what looked like a cloud of dirt puffing up and then there was a big bang and it kind of looked like the plane maybe bounced (as it neared the ground)," she said. "I couldn't really tell what happened, but you saw the wings going up and (in) a weird angle."
"Not like it was cartwheeling," she said, but rather as though the wings were almost swaying from side to side.

A one-term Democratic senator from Iowa and for years afterward a leader of congressional discussions on apartheid, Clark is now 85 and long gone from the public scene. But the ups and downs of his career are an intriguing back story — and counterpoint — to the outpouring of praise for Nelson Mandela, the black liberation leader and former president of South Africa who died Dec. 5.
Story Continued Below
It wasn't always that way in Washington.
Indeed, Mandela turned 60 in South Africa's Robben Island prison in the summer of 1978 even as Clark— chairman of the African Affairs panel on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — was fighting for his own re-election in Iowa.
( PHOTOS: World mourns Nelson Mandela's death)
It was a time when Republican challenger Roger Jepsen felt free to taunt the Democrat as "the senator from Africa." Tensions were such that the State Department called in a South African Embassy official in May for making disparaging remarks about Clark in Iowa. And after Clark lost, South Africa's ousted information secretary, Eschel Rhoodie, said his government invested $250,000 to defeat Clark, who had become a thorn in the side of the white regime.
Jepsen denied any knowledge of South Africa's alleged role. Nor does Clark accuse him of such. But 35 years after, Clark has no doubt that the apartheid government led by Prime Minister B. J. Vorster wanted him out — and had a hand in his defeat.
Clark's liberal record and support of the Panama Canal Treaty, which narrowly cleared the Senate in the spring of 1978, also hurt his chances in Iowa. But the fatal blow was a fierce wave of late-breaking ground attacks from anti-abortion forces—something even conservative writers like Robert Novak had not anticipated in a published column weeks before.
"Abortion was the issue, and how much effect this apparent $250,000 had to do with promoting it more, I have no way of evaluating it," Clark said in a recent interview at his home in Washington. "No question that they did it. They said they did, and I think they did."
( PHOTOS: Nelson Mandela's life)
Clark had made himself a target for South Africa with his high-profile chairmanship of the Africa subcommittee. In Washington as well, he was not without critics who accused him of being too puritanical, too quick to fault U.S. policy. But like no senator before him, Clark used the panel to raise the visibility of human rights issues in the southern regions of the continent.
The roster of prior Africa subcommittee chairs reads like a Who's Who of national Democrats: John Kennedy in the late 1950s; Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore, father of the future vice president; future Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield; and former Vice President Hubert Humphrey after his return to the Senate. But all stayed for just one Congress before moving on. Clark stuck, challenging Cold War policies that he believed hurt the larger struggle against apartheid that Mandela symbolized.
"He was the icebreaker here," says his friend Rep. George Miller (D-Cal.). "He was out breaking ice on Africa issues for the country and certainly for the Senate."
What's more, after losing his Senate seat, Clark didn't stop. Instead, he found a new classroom via the Aspen Institute, where the former professor began what amounted to his own graduate program in 1983 to educate members of Congress about different policy issues.
( PHOTOS: Nelson Mandela's memorial)
Russia had been Clark's early academic interest and was as well in his first years at Aspen. But Africa tugged and he set out "to try to get a get a cadre of Congress who would know about South Africa and what was going on in South Africa."
These typically were nearly weeklong seminars — held at choice locales overseas to lure members of Congress but also to provide neutral ground for the warring parties inside South Africa.
Bermuda, for example, served as a meeting place in 1989. The island allowed officials from the South African government to shuttle in and out before the arrival of outlawed representatives for Mandela's African National Congress, which was operating then from outside South Africa.
"All of them were there, making their pitches," Clark said. And once Mandela was released from prison in 1990, the venue shifted to South Africa itself. "We got Mandela, who had just gotten out of jail not long before, to come," Clark recalls of an April 1991 session in Cape Town — a seminar that also included F. W. de Klerk, South Africa's white president.
Most striking here was Clark's impact on Republicans — the party that helped to throw him out of the Senate.
"He is a wonder," says former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.). "I had been told he was a lefty, the stereotype, but he just drew out people. He never showed bitterness toward the right or promoting one side."
Just as "Mandela made a difference, Dick Clark made a difference in awareness" at home in Congress, Simpson adds.
Former Rep. John Porter (R-Ill.) remembers an Aspen meeting in Cape Town at which Clark surprised the participants on the last day by sending them out to walk through the neighborhoods of a black township to meet with families. "Dick Clark would do things like that," Porter said.
"This was before all the big changes in South Africa when we were debating sanctions," said former Sen. John Danforth (R-Mo.). "He was just so dedicated to it and knew all the players."
In fact, Clark says he knew very little about Africa before coming to the Senate after the 1972 elections. But when a seat opened up on Foreign Relations in 1975, he grabbed it and fell into the Africa post — just ahead of his classmate Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), the future vice president.
Timing is everything in Congress and it was Clark's good fortune in this case. The legendary but very controlling Foreign Relations Committee Chairman J. William Fulbright (D-Ark.) had just left the Senate at the end of 1974 and this allowed subcommittee chairs like Clark to act more on their own.
"Fulbright's attitude was the subcommittees couldn't do anything. Everything ought to be done by the full committee," Clark said. "I was next to last on seniority. When it got down to me, the only thing left was Africa about which I knew very little. Some would say none. So I just figured: Here's a chance to learn something and I spent a lot of time doing hearings and learning about Africa."
He also traveled — venturing into southern, sub-Saharan Africa which was then unfamiliar to many on the Senate committee.

Anyway, before the skill itself, let's start with the basics: the HGB maneuver by Zarythe. Here's the link.
HGB Tutorial by Zarythe
Flash variations
- Standard: A standard, sideways-accelerated Flash. It will look like an accelerated Air Equator if done properly.
Straight: In the HGB phase, gas burst in the direction of the hook. Handy against small titans. It's hard to execute without a momentum loss as a side-effect, but not impossible.
Upswing: Swings you upwards from a low position. Basically works the same as standard variation, but due to gravity, more precise timing and hook positioning are required.
Wide Spin: Hook at a position other than a titan to create a wider/larger spin. It will probably look like Traditional Cut/Fly by.
Double: Uses two hooks instead of one. The HGB is directed towards the first hook, which should be launched at a position somewhere behind and the side of the target. Around the momentum boost, launch the second hook and swing by the titan's nape. A precision technique great for narrow angles.
Peregrine: The ultimate technique. Uses gravity as a boost to acceleration, and ended by an accelerated Upswing to strike the target. It's basically an accelerated Upswing and an extremely conditional technique to use. Under normal circumstances, it's really inefficient except for the fact that it looks awesome.
EDIT: As it turns out, the Momentum Gain technique has already been posted by Zarythe as the Hooked Gas Burst.
EDIT 2: Video is complete!!! XD

Dear Parser,
I have heard of being sent packing. (It's happened to me more than once) But, "packing from the hills" is new to me.
I would regarding "packing" as a participle, modifying "people". But, I suppose that "packing" could be considered to be acting adverbially, answering "how?" The prepositional phrase "from the hills" is clearly adverbial. Now, whether it modifies "packing" or "sent", I guess, must be up to interpretation.
It's an interesting sentence.

DELE: Diplomas in Spanish as a Foreign Language
In Spain you'll find a range of different options to help you learn Spanish or improve your level. If you want, you can also obtain the official internationally-recognised Spanish certificate, the Diploma in Spanish DELE.
What are DELEs?
The DELE Diplomas in Spanish are official, internationally recognised qualifications that allow you to accredit your current level in the Spanish language. DELE diplomas are accepted worldwide by the business community and chambers of commerce, as well as public and private education systems. In Spain they help with access to universities, language schools and jobs. They are valid indefinitely and allow for geographical mobility within the European Union in academic and professional spheres. They are valid indefinitely and guarantee your geographic mobility in academic and professional spheres within the European Union. For more information, see the DELE promotional video, or visit the Cervantes Institute's Diplomas in Spanish DELE website.
How many DELE are there?
The Cervantes Institute currently offers eight DELE exams that cover the six levels proposed by the European Council in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and the reference levels in the Curricular Plan of the Cervantes Institute (PCIC). Below is a list of the different DELE diploma levels and DELE exams available to candidates, according to each candidate category:
|General DELE exams (aimed at adults with no age limit)
|DELE exams for school students (aimed at students aged 11 to 17)
|Level A1 Spanish Diploma
|DELE A1 exam for school students
|Level A2 Spanish Diploma
|DELE A2/B1 exam for school students
|Level B1 Spanish Diploma
|DELE A2/B1 exam for school students
|Level B2 Spanish Diploma
|Level C1 Spanish Diploma
|Level C2 Spanish Diploma
Who can take the exams?
DELE exams can be taken by anyone who does not speak Spanish as their first language and who wants to have an official qualification that accredits his/her knowledge of the language.
Where and when are the exams held?
DELE examinations can be taken every year on five test dates (April, May, July, October and November). Different DELE tests can be taken on each exam date, depending on the users' requirements. For information on exam dates, click on the following link: http://diplomas.cervantes.es/en/learn_spanish/dele_exams_dates.html The registration procedure and the DELE examination itself can be done in over 900 test centres in more than 100 countries.

Is it necessary to complete a special course in order to take the exam?
It is not obligatory to take any special course to sit the DELE exams, as they are designed to test your skill in the Spanish language, and not the knowledge you have acquired on a course. The Cervantes Institute, through its Diplomas in Spanish website, offers useful information and documentation for preparing the tests: 1) Guides to all DELE exams: http://diplomas.cervantes.es/informacion/guias/default.html 2) Sample exams and listening tests for all DELE exams: http://diplomas.cervantes.es/en/information/sample_examination_papers_audios.html 3) Information on specific publications for preparing the DELE exams: http://diplomas.cervantes.es/en/information/spanish_teachers/publications.html What's more, branches of the Cervantes Institute around the world and other public and private schools -particularly accredited language schools in Spain- offer courses to help you prepare the DELE exams. This website and the website of the Cervantes Institute offer information on the full range of Spanish courses available in Spain, including courses for preparing the DELE exams.
When do candidates receive their diploma?
Candidates can check the scores they've obtained in the DELE exams on the Diplomas in Spanish website about two months after taking the exam. The Cervantes Institute will deliver the corresponding diplomas to all PASSING candidates via the test centre where they registered. How easy is that? It'll be even easier here in Spain, living amongst the Spanish.

Boss Transmissions
We remanufacture automotive transmissions (all makes and models since 1996). This is different from rebuilding a transmission: we totally tear it down, replacing components, and then fully rebuild it, as opposed to replacing only what is worn out. We remanufacture and then ship out our transmissions all over the country, to be installed by the customer (or their shop) - we don't have cars in our shop, and all we do is transmission remanufacturing. In other words, we aren't your neighborhood mechanic. Our model is a bit different from others in our industry: Most charge a "core charge": a fee that is refunded when the old transmission is sent. Additionally, we understand the value of automation, and actually have an IT department and proprietary software to manage our operations. Our goal is to put the customer first and break down the "good ol' boy" system that exists in the automotive servicing industry. Important to note: We only service automatic transmissions.
We are unique in that we allow the consumer to directly order from us. This allows them to bypass their shop (and the shop's markup) to save money. We also have shops and small-scale mechanics as customers as well.
Our site needs to blend simplicity with Web 2.0 elegance. Follow modern design approaches, but don't overdo it. Our product and service should not be lost in the beauty.
Incorporate our logo (attached) - color scheme will be orange in the logo and light gray as in our logo. Subtle gradients, as seen throughout the Internet. Don't let the black background in the logo fool you - black will be the background for the header as described below, but we don't want a dark site.
Should be easily converted to CSS/HTML. Your design will be handed off to our programmer for conversion.
Dimensions: 960 pixels wide. For columns (see below) use typical grid widths - see 960.gs
File format: Photoshop. Please use layers, and use layer grouping as makes sense. (group tabs, text, etc)
Feel free to use photos or other assets, but DO NOT STEAL. You will inform us of any licensed assets used.
Please don't download a template and try to sell it back to us. That's stealing. This contest is being monitored by an experienced web developer and programmer, so you'll be found out, and reported.
Please remember our industry. We don't need a generic auto design - we're not a generic auto shop, but something different. Try to include a transmission in your design, and remember we only service automatic transmissions, so anything featuring a stick gear shift doesn't fit.
1) Home page - should be a typical landing page with the following (you determine where):
1. Buy a Boss Transmission and have it shipped to your Home or your trusted Repair Facility of your choice.
2. Call 1-877-585-BOSS (2677)
3. EASY ORDER – NO HASSLE PRICE order online or over the phone.
4. We specialize in all types of automatic transmissions for cars and pickup trucks.
2) 2-column design, with a right sidebar
3) page with form elements - not plain, but consider ease of converting to CSS
Each page should have a black header bar with our logo. Each of the following pages will be shown in tabs (there are no sub-menus, so you may need to have 2 rows of tabs) -
- Home
- Price your Transmission Instantly
- Warranty Coverage - How it Works
- Shipping - How It Works
- How our Transmissions are Re-manufactured
- Product Warranty Agreement
- Terms and Conditions
- Submit your Core Pickup Form
- Submit your Warranty Activation Form
- Contact Boss Transmissions
- About Boss Transmissions
Tabs will have 3 states: current page, normal, and hover - please have one of the tabs in current state (probably the "home" tab), and one in "hover" state, and the rest in normal.
This site is nice and simple. It's easy to navigate. What we don't like is that so much of the screen is taken up by visual elements at the top. Ideally, all the good information should require no vertical scrolling.

When Persian Rug Merchants Get Lucky with Google
Fund: Amidzad
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-12-21
I know a number of companies who have taken investments (as follow-on) from these guys, and every one refers to these guys as "dumb money."
Don't get me wrong, they understand how to run their successful family businesses: be it the water company, Plug and Play (another real estate play), or selling their persian rugs (the equivalent of selling cars), but DO NOT think that they understand anything about the future of investments, they will defer to their friends in the valley who they think are smarter and be part of the "add-on capital."
The Amidzad and Plug and Play organization itself is not well demarcated. The other review about them being "absolutely useless" says it best. Our experiences were that if they cannot give you a direct answer initially or you're not speaking directly with Saeed or Pejman, leave immediately.PRIVATE: Members Only

Joe Perry Gives Steven Tyler an Early Birthday Present on 'American Idol'
On Thursday night, 10 became nine on 'American Idol,' and Steven Tyler got a huge surprise when a very familiar face showed up to help him usher in another year.
For the 'Idol' guinea pigs, the big prize for surviving this week's cut is moving into the 'Idol' mansion. During the first few years of the show, they piled all the finalists into one giant zillion-dollar pad in the Hollywood Hills, but they quit doing it when a few of those prime pieces of real estate wound up looking like a frat house after Rush Week. Looks like they're ready to take their chances again.
But before we found out who would need to sign insurance waivers, there was all kinds of filler, including a live performance from Lana Del Ray. Never heard her big hit, 'Video Games'? Let's put it this way: if suicides had a soundtrack, that song would be on every single one of them.
When she was done making everyone reach for the Xanax, host Ryan Seacrest mentioned that Steven's birthday is coming up (it's Monday, March 26, by the way), and that the show had a special surprise for him.
And suddenly? There was Aerosmith's Joe Perry on stage, playing 'Happy Birthday to You' while the contestants, audience, Ryan and the other judges sang along. Meanwhile HAPPY BIRTHDAY written in comic sans (oh, the humanity) bounced around on the screen.
Joe came down and gave Steven a bro-hug, and when Ryan asked the guitarist if he knew how old Steven was, he replied, "He's about a day older than me."
"I'm a Rip Van Winkle, so I'm told, I'm much too young to be this old," Steven riffed, and explained, "Lyric time for the new album."
So! Sneak-peek, kids. (And you thought 'Idol' was worthless.) Joe then took a seat at the end of the judging table next to Steven, but stop screaming already — he's not there permanently.
With those festivities aside, it was back to business.
As always, producer and mentor Jimmy Iovine pulled no punches as he talked about each contestant's performance from Wednesday night. When it was Heejun's turn, Jimmy agreed with the riot act Steven read him the night before, saying Heejun's schtick was like "a bad Adam Sandler movie that goes straight to DVD" and "a stunt gone wrong."
And sure enough, the idiot wound up in the bottom three. Sometimes the voters do get it right.
But then we were once again shown how often they get it wrong when Heejun was spared and poor Erika — who just a couple days ago chopped off all her hair and dyed it black in the quest for a new image — was sent packing. Thanks, voters. You're awesome.
Anyway. There you have it. Nine move on to next week. See you then.

Could you be attracted to a bisexual?
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 NEXT
Two quibbles: "Some gay people," not "gay people" in general. Identity labels never describe a monolithic group. And certainly not the "same amount" of bigotry.
Anyway... for some gay folks, it's just simple prejudice. They heard about or met bi people who did X and subsequently drew the conclusion that most or all bi people do or are likely to do X. Maybe they already had preconceived notions and anecdotes/encounters "confirmed their suspicions." Confirmation bias is very powerful.
For others, it's part of a broader political framework focused on assimilating into straight culture. There is a subset of the gay community, generally well-educated, affluent, and urbane, that shuns activist politics and instead seeks to adopt heteronormative values--monogamy, the nuclear family, strict adherence to binary gender, and support of neoliberal economics--by presenting "gay" and "straight" as a simple dichotomy that has clear rules with no exceptions and that has no impact on or relevance to anything outside of relationship/sexual partners. Essentially giving up "We're here, we're queer" for "We're just like you" and in doing so casting out anyone who refuses to or is not able to conform to this framework.
Ugh, that's still languishing in committee. It's frustrating how this happens even to bills with broad bipartisan support, but I don't think I need to tell you how inefficient the Committee of Bisexual Affairs can be. See you next Tuesday for the vote on mandatory threesomes.
How is this even an issue? Of course I could, but then I can't really explain why I am attracted to the people I am. They are just... Attractive! The only "problem" is that being a gay woman most of the girls I find attractive are not gay themselves, which is nobodys fault so I can't really complain too much =p.
No doubt they've all tired out from all the swinging groupsex every vote turns into. Next tuesday it is!
*Clacks heels together*
Glory to Gaga!
Aye... It's the way it is. Grass grows, fish swims, Scout bonks and all the cute lads are straight.
My girlfriend is Bi, she has never hidden the fact from me and I accept it as. Did she have relationships with girls before me, yup. Do I care, not really. She is loyal and loving that is all that really matters to me.
Considering my wife is bi, no, I would not have a problem with it.
Oh, and for those entertaining the fantasy that being with a bi chick would increase the probability of a threesome: it doesn't.
Well, no, I don't think I would. I might feel threatened for a milisecond, as I cannot 'compete' with a girl, but that is a result of my own insecurity, and would disappear very quickly, just as the insecurity that pops up wen I meet a man who is more attractive than me.
They do exist, I have been told.
That's the way I see it too. My vision in the subject does not go far, I'm not bi not have dated a bisexual, so I'm speaking out pure opinion and comparison to situations with both heterosexual and gay communities, thus I act out of ignorance; however, I believe that if one dates a bisexual it is expected that said bisexual will commit to the relationship at hand, so say it's a bisexual woman dating a man, she commits not to see other women (or men obviously) just as well as that straight man commits not to see other women, otherwise you're betraying the very concept of a "loving serious relationship" (or at least the traditional vision of such, an not those agreements where the couple is ok with "going out" with other people, but then it's not cheating, it's just not usual, as long as both parts agree it's ok, I guess).
Yes. Why not? It doesn't worry me in the slightest.
Because a lot of bisexual people (myself included) enjoy straight privilege. So long as you don't "come out" or are seen with a member of the same gender, you can coast by on the presumption that you are straight. Most gay people cannot do this (unless they're celibate or really, really good at stealth-dating). So a sector of the gay community resents bisexuals for being able to retain straight privilege (and avoid homophobia) while still having same-sex contact (usually on the down low).
And then there's the fact that being under constant homophobia/transphobia leaves some LGBTQ+ people with lower than usual self-esteem (it's been studied and everything), which leads them to instantly assume that anyone who "has it better" than them (that is, bisexuals, because they retain straight privilege) will eventually leave them, cheat on them, or be unsatisfied with them.
Also, everything bananafishtoday said. Their dissertations on gender, sexuality and the interesctionality of class/LGBTQ+ dynamics are always spot-on.
I'm gay, so if I was dating a dude who said he also liked women it wouldn't exactly be surprising to me. I'd be completely cool with it. I'd even consider the notion of him telling me a sign of trust. He would trust me to trust him to stick around in our relationship even though he has a much wider pool of people to choose from. If that makes any sense.
And besides, it's the best of both worlds isn't it? I'd give my lover a pat on the back and wish that I could appreciate the wonders of the vagina the same way others do.
...That's a joke.
I am an open guy. Could I be attracted to a bisexual gal? Of course. Why shouldn't I? Finally a girl that doesn't talk smack about another girls bum just to get in my pants (seriously) but because she is as interested in that bum as I am!
While that guy indeed seems like a 'weirdo' (as you describe him)I actually kinda sorta feel I can relate... a bit. because myself, (as a man) I could picture myself blowing another man's whistle or polishing his knob any time of the day but I would never let him poke his stick in the brown bear's den nor will I ever put my own cane into the waste disposal shaft.
On topic though: I don't see a problem dating a bisexual person. Not in the slightest. And while some of the fears people have described in this topic would indeed trouble me, I can be safe in the knowledge that I can rationally explain them away.
Almost everyone I've ever been out with or done anything with has been Bi... So I guess that's a resounding yes from me.
I could be attracted to anyone.
It all depends on their personality and how well we "click".
I definitely wouldn't rule out a relationship just because the individual I was interested in happened to like both genders.
As long as they're interested in me, why does their sexual orientation matter?
Yes, why wouldn't I? It's not as if they're going to automatically cheat on me just because they may have a wider dating pool. Bisexual does not equal polygamous. If anything, a partner being bisexual would be a bonus, because they might be more open to some kinky stuff. Say, if a partner mentioned that she was attracted to Asians, would I suddenly expect her to run off with one? No, I'm not a paranoid dickbag, so why should this be any different?
Besides, I have at least one friend who's bisexual (although he's told me that he prefers girls to guys), so it'd be pretty hypocritical for me to not want to get into a relationship with one.
The vast yaoi fandom seems to disagree...
I guess...?
I don't know, it's not something I've really thought of before. Straight guy here, so I guess it's not really an issue. It's not to do with the "threesome" fantasy, rather I guess dating a bi woman who is monogamous would be the same as dating a straight woman who is monogamous.
Perhaps only one thing would make me reconsider. If they're someone who simply happens to be bi-sexual, then whatever, they just happen to be dating a man instead of a woman. Hell, even if they're someone who likes the idea of introducing someone else into the mix, I'd be "okay" so long as they at least discuss it with me before anything happens. If they're someone however who considers themselves bisexual because they think everyone actually is, that's more a matter of attitude/personality than a matter of sexuality. If that's the case then no, but again simply because I think personality wise we wouldn't get along at that point.
White straight here. My ex and best relationship I had was a bisexual.
I'll take all the bisexuals if they're all like this.
It shouldn't even matter. They're attracted to me and they're with me. Provided that they actually are the trustworthy person you believe them to be, you should have nothing to worry about.
That depends: does it affect how much she cares about me?
I'd like to know if she was, but honestly if she was still sorting through it herself, it is what it is. And if she knew it and was comfortable with it, then I'd probably pick it up naturally. And if she didn't tell me out of fear of prejudice, clearly she doesn't know ME very well.
Yup, I could be attracted to a bisexual and would have no problem dating one. Really, it'd change nothing. As long as we're attracted to and interested in each other, it wouldn't bother me that she also fancies women. It could make for some pretty fun conversations.
To be quite frank literally EVERY woman I have dated has either been bisexual or pansexual. No friggin' joke every single one
I am only romantically interested in partners who are also bisexual.
I mean, I'll have sex with people who are just straight or just gay, but not long term. For a relationship, I want someone who I can relate to better.
Edit: Also, I'm pleasantly surprised with this thread. Everyone is being very positive. Except about spaghetti, but I don't much care for that kind of pasta myself.
I don't see why it'd be a major point of interest for most people. The only points I can see are multiple partners (if that's your thing) or the fear of increased infidelity (which is inane).
Does that entail anything?
You lucky bastard.
What do you mean could i? I already have been attracted to a bisexual girl never went anywhere but i was still attracted to her.
I am a bisexual guy married to a bisexual woman for the past 13 years and in a polyamorous relationship with a gay man who has lived with us both for about half of our marriage so... yeah. Yeah I'd do it.
I find bisexuality to be attractive in a person. Honestly I am much more likely to be attracted to a bisexual man or woman than I am to a straight woman or gay man.
I think it's my rampant narcissism that causes this, though.
As a bisexual I don't see how it matters and I would personally be offended if someone found this a deal breaker. It's just sexual orientation. This doesn't make you more promiscuous than a straight or homosexual individual. It doesn't mean you're attracted to every man or woman with bodily functions. When I change in the same room as my female friends I do not feel the need to perve, nor do I consider them attractive just because they're female. I'm sick of the judgements I get in real life from misinformed people who somehow think it's okay to define you by who you happen to be attracted to.
Bi male here, been with my bi girl for around 9 years. So yeah, I could definitely be with someone who's bi. In all honesty I think it's quite an attractive quality!
I do have some bi friends who's straight partners have asked me (towards the beginning of their relationships) if they will be enough to keep their bi partner happy. I've had this on a few occasions, so I guess it's a fairly commonplace worry with bi-straight couples.
That sounds like a fairly complicated relationship (not judging at all btw, I just find it interesting) I'd love to know how your male partner feels about the relationship. Obviously he's happy with it, otherwise he wouldn't be there, but it must be very weird at times for him?
well im a straight guy, so getting a bi-sexual girlfriend is like the damn holy grail.
So yes.
Complicated? For me it's natural. Everything else I ever tried seemed "complicated" - this is easy. ;)
In all fairness, my wife and male partner are kind of like... brother and sister? They're probably best friends, even if it's relatively platonic in nature.
To give a brief history, I'm 34, my male partner is 34, my wife is 31. We all met in college when my wife turned 19 so... we've kind of grown up together. Shared a lot of history together. We're just family now, I can't imagine anything else. We share a home and a bank account, credit cards, checkbook - everything a married couple would share. There's just three of us.
In the beginning things were a little odd but we were all barely out of our teens and figuring things out. My male partner has been with women (we've all actually been with other partners together) - it's just not his preferred method of expressing his sexuality, let's put it that way.
I don't think at this point it's weird for either of them. In fact, I can't imagine that either of my partners would want to live without the other one in their lives; even if it's not a sexual relationship. We all get along so well together that we'll spend weeks not seeing anyone else and just kicking around the house together. If there's any drawback it's possibly that when you live with two of your best friends it's easy to become socially isolated otherwise. ;)
I would not. Yanno, dat huge dating pool bisexuals have. Depending on the integrity of the person in question, cheating on their end would be as inevitable as death.
Heh. Oh wow, I never expected the thread to get this popular!
When I posted this I wasn't sure if being bisexual was a trait other people wouldn't like in a partner, I was afraid if I were to ever date someone in the future that they might not like for it, I didn't really need to worry though. I guess I was just being insecure.
Thanks for all your positive responses everybody!
Nothing wrong with that. XD
Very true! I'm glad that much of the Escapist seems to share this sentiment. This is a very positive place!
Does it have boobs? Then, yes.
The girl I have a crush on is bisexual (maybe pansexual, the lines are a bit blurry by her own admission) so I am going to go with a yes. The only thing it makes me think of is that I have slightly more competition (though in this case it doesn't really matter.)

One of the perks of this job is getting to meet cool people like Jalopnik überfriend Rutledge Wood and his pal Kyle Petty. This dynamic duo of NASCAR insight called me today to explain they'd chased a manufacturer's prototype vehicle through a Carl's Jr. and they wanted to know what the vehicle was.
The pair — in California for the big race at Fontana this weekend — rightly noticed the manufacturer's plates on the SUV and the badging covered up by black tape. According to Wood, the driver of the vehicle fled the wrong way down a Carl's Jr. drive thru as soon as he noticed he was being tailed.
Alas, the car in question is a lowly Korean-made Ssangyong Actyon converted to an EV by Phoenix Motorcars in Ontario, California.
The vehicle itself isn't a big secret as they've been around forever, which makes me think the driver wasn't so much fleeing for fear of being caught but rather because he thought he was being chased by Kyle Petty and Rutledge Wood.
"OMG, he's gotta beard and an iPhone!" I could imagine the driver thinking to himself as he laid rubber in the other direction.
UPDATE: I've been informed that Marianela Pereyra was in the car, too. Now the idea of someone actively running away from (instead of towards) that vehicle makes no sense.

NBC hit a ratings gold mine last month with a live version of "The Sound of Music" featuring a singing heroine who twirls and dances.
The network is hoping to strike gold again with an ageless boy who can fly.
A new production of the classic musical "Peter Pan" will air as a live telecast Dec. 4. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron -- who produced "The Sound of Music Live!" -- will executive produce the production. The cast will be announced at a later date.
"We're very pleased to be underway on 'Peter Pan' as our next live holiday musical for the whole family," NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said at the Television Critics Assn. press tour.
As to who could play Peter, Greenblatt jokingly suggested Miley Cyrus.
The original Broadway production of "Peter Pan" starred Mary Martin as Peter and Cyril Richard as Captain Hook; both won Tony Awards for their performances. (Martin also starred in the original Broadway production of "The Sound of Music.")
"Peter Pan" closed on Broadway in 1955, making way for a live broadcast that year on NBC, which attracted 65 million viewers, then highest rating for a single night. NBC also broadcast the show live in 1956 and 1960, both to huge ratings.
"The Sound of Music Live!" starring Carrie Underwood drew 22 million viewers in its initial Dec. 5 airing.

RFU Championship
Robinson set for Bristol move
ESPN Staff
February 15, 2013
Andy Robinson resigned as Scotland head coach in the autumn © Getty Images
Andy Robinson is set to be appointed as Championship club Bristol's new director of rugby.
The former England and Scotland coach will be unveiled at a press conference in Clifton on Monday, Press Association Sport reports. The 48-year-old quit his role with Scotland after a dismal autumn series earlier this season when Robinson's team lost to New Zealand, South Africa and Tonga.
Robinson resigned following the 21-15 Tonga defeat in Aberdeen. He had been under contract until the 2015 World Cup. The former Bath boss was appointed Scotland chief in 2009, taking them to the World Cup two years later, but they suffered a pool stage exit for the first time.
He headed up the England coaching staff between 2004 and 2006 after succeeding World Cup-winning coach Sir Clive Woodward. Robinson had been part of Woodward's 2003 World Cup coaching staff in Australia, and he also won eight England caps as a player.
Bristol are currently battling to secure a place in the Championship play-offs, although Newcastle remain firm favourites to secure the one promotion place available into next season's Aviva Premiership. Robinson is expected to begin work at Bristol before the end of this season, with current head coach Liam Middleton remaining in that role.
The west country club have already announced four new signings for next term - Peter Buxton, Mark Sorenson, Andy Short and Errie Claassens - and they could also move to Ashton Gate in a ground-share with Bristol City Football Club.
There is the added possibility of a new stadium being built at Ashton Vale in the city, which would be used by Bristol.

THOUSAND OAKS, California (Reuters) - American Keegan Bradley struck a timely blow for users of the beleaguered belly putter by charging into contention with a three-under-par 69 in Thursday's first round at the World Challenge.
Just one day after golf's rulemakers proposed a ban on long putters being anchored to the body, Bradley proved his lofty status as a player is underpinned by his all-round game as he reached 17 of 18 greens in regulation at Sherwood Country Club.
While compatriot Nick Watney set the pace with a five-birdie 67 in the elite 18-player event hosted by Tiger Woods, Bradley mixed four birdies with a lone bogey to end a damp, overcast day level with Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell and Jim Furyk.
Five-times champion Woods, who ended a two-year title drought with a one-shot victory here 12 months ago, was a further stroke back on 70 with fellow Americans Bo Van Pelt and Webb Simpson.
"Today was awesome," Bradley, who became the first player to win a major using a belly putter at the 2011 PGA Championship, told reporters.
"I did have a bad break on the last hole, but I played so solidly all day, that's the only green I missed. If I could have made a few more putts, I probably could have been a lot lower."
Bradley marred his round with a bogey at the par-four 18th where his tee shot ended up against a tree root beside a small rock to the right of the fairway.
"It was a bad break, but also if it didn't hit that root, it probably would have rolled all the way back down that hill. It was a good day, and I'll make a better swing on 18 tomorrow."
Bradley said he had gained extra motivation for the round from Wednesday's announcement by golf's ruling bodies that they wanted to outlaw the practice of anchoring by 2016 in order to preserve the "skill and challenge" of putting.
"Yeah, absolutely," he added. "It would be great to go off and really play well here. I've been catching such flak on Twitter and these other places, it would be good to kind of quiet them a little bit.
"I had a guy yesterday telling me to send my application in to Burger King for 2016. I feel like the USGA (United States Golf Association) has really put an X on our back and really shined a light on us, and I don't know if that's exactly fair.
"When we started putting with it (the belly putter), they were legal, and they still are. It's a sticky situation, and I hope people can see through that. It always feels good to play well, but this feels better almost."
Woods, who is seeking his fourth victory this year after triumphing three times on the PGA Tour, was delighted to move into contention despite not playing at his best.
"I didn't hit the ball very good today and made a few good par putts to keep the round going," he said after mixing three birdies with a bogey.
"I kept myself in the tournament. Could have easily shot myself out of the tournament but I kept myself in it."
Asked if he was surprised only four players had shot under 70, Woods replied: "No, it's still difficult out there. The wind is puffing around and it's all different directions. The greens are soft, and it's hard to get the ball close."

Ningxia Beats Bordeaux. Or Does It?
How do Chinese reds compare to Bordeaux? In a blind taste test held in Beijing Wednesday night, a group of 10 experts, half Chinese and half French, compared wines from China's remote inland province of Ningxia with those from France's famed Bordeaux region. The judges sipped and swished five wines from each region for nearly an hour before reaching a verdict: Ningxia dominated.

I haven't done one of these in a while, but I couldn't let what I found around the close of book five slide. Near the end of that book, Athens makes an expedition against the small island of Melos. But before they invade, they send a few representatives to the islands to negotiate with the Melians. Here's how, near the beginning of the ensuing dialogue, the Athenians justify the pending invasion:
For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretenses — either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of a wrong that you have done us — and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Spartans, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.
That sounds an awful lot like what Thrasymachus tells Socrates in Plato's Republic: that justice "is nothing but the advantage of the stronger."
The Athenians attacked Melos in 416 BCE, Socrates drank the hemlock in 399, and Plato wrote the Republic somewhere around 380. I don't know if Thrasymachus' argument was supposed to be representative of popular Athenian opinion; nor do I know how much of Socrates' positive moral realist argument in the Republic actually came from Socrates, and wasn't just Plato putting words in the mouth of his mentor and surrogate. But if we take Thucydides' transcription of events as evidence that Athenians were largely Thrasymachans, and if we take Plato at his word regarding Socrates' metaethical beliefs, then all of this adds a new shade to popular understandings of the trial of Socrates.
The beliefs that got Socrates killed are generally understood to be negative beliefs. He is said to have questioned the gods, or challenged democratic rule. But maybe his moral realist critique also got him in some trouble. Applying Socratic standards, Athenian behavior during the Peloponnesian War certainly doesn't look all that stellar. Maybe the shame of the Athenians helped doom Socrates.
But hey, what do I know? I'm no classicist, and this is just uninformed speculation. I'd like to hear from some people who know more about this.
