Stock+reskins: The most reliable, pretty versatile. It gets the job done well, but I don't think it can take you far like the kunai can.
Conniver's Kunai: My personal favorite that I have an extreme love-hate relationship with. While it requires good sneaking/flanking and some luck from stray spam, it can be very rewarding for spies that can trick stab. Imagine that pyro charging at you only to be matador stabbed, feeding you up to 180 health allowing you to kill that scout who thinks he can mess with you. One of the greatest feelings I have had as a spy.
Big Earner: The pro of this really doesn't outweigh the con, as it's bad for the IW and DR if you know your ammo boxes(plus the weapon you pick up from the person you backstab) It compliments the CnD very well, but I don't even find the CnD useful.
YER/Wanga Prick: I really think its only worth it with the Saharan Spy set, which is just easy mode. Since the Wanga Prick isn't compatible with that set, I totally disregard it.
Spycicle: I like to use this for giggles on my combat spy loadout- Ambassador, spycicle, DR. Other than that, I see it as a kunai with a passive effect. Also takes your strongest weapon away for 15 seconds.

Planting high quality seed is the basis by which agriculture remains profitable. Every seed lot sold commercially has had an assessment of
seed quality which required germinating seeds under multiple environmental conditions. Final germination under benign (control) conditions
indicates the potential of the seed lot, but a sensitive indicator to seed germination is provided by germination rate, particularly if evaluated
under various stressful environments which reduce germination capacity. Typically seed companies and commercial seed testing laboratories evaluate
thousands to tens of thousands of seed lots each year. Further, in order to discover the genetic determinants of seed germination under environmental
stress and the release from dormancy, researchers typically work with large numbers of genetic populations, each of which must be evaluated under a
multitude of environmental conditions. A bottleneck exists in evaluating seed germination both for commercial and research purposes. The research we are
collaborating on seeks to develop software by which the evaluation of seed germination may be automated by developing algorithms that will count seeds in a
Petri dish using an image of the seeds and to develop algorithms that differentiate a germinated seed from an not-germinated seed from images of these seeds
taken at various time intervals.

Fluorescent labels data collected into a data cube with dimensions excitation × emission × time. Using the method of parallel factor analysis, the abundance of each
smoothly-varying spectra of typical fluorescent labels can be extracted as a time series, even in the presence of unknown interferents. Compression of the data cube
to as little as 1% of its original size via well chosen multidimensional hybrid wavelet transforms, data analysis accelerates by factors as large as 50 without
compromising accuracy. The data acquisition software will be developed using LabView, a powerful programming environment well-suited to instrument data acquisition and
the parallel factor analysis implemented in some high level programming language.

Cassandra: a new tool for virtual ligand screening. Cassandra will be a structure-based molecular design computational tool that
researchers can easily use to identify/design potential therapeutic compounds for any target protein with known or predicted 3D structure.
This tool will allow researches to seamlessly step through different structure-based molecular design applications, from binding site recognition
and affinity profiling, to pharmacophore-based searches and genome data mining. This will shorten the training period for new researchers, make our
in-house tools available for other laboratories and research groups to use and validate, and will also provide numerous new opportunities for
research and educational use.
Currently, QT is being used to develop an intutive multi-platform GUI for Cassandra.

Catalytic site prediction from sequence and structure: This research is investigating ways to predict specific catalytic residues
from sequence and structure. We are using machine learning and soft computing techniques to predict catalytic sites solely from sequence-derived information (i.e. alignment conservation, phylogenetic motifs and
predicted secondary structure). At the same time, we are investigating structure-based predictions schemes as well. For example, we are currently
studying catalytic residue predictions from network models, which recast protein structures as graphs.

Create a software tool based on neual networks and genetic algorithms to predict the sensory analysis of different food products such as
meat, cheese and ice cream. Sensory data sets are complex because they involves human senses and judgments, which can be considered unstructured as opposed to instrumental data.
One of the goals of this research is to provide improved understanding of the relationship between specific characteristics of variables that make a desirable and marketable product.
This software will also provide the stepping stool to the ultimate goal of reverse engineering of consumer products coming up with the values of independent variables, given the desired
values of the dependent variables.

Critical flaws squashed in Firefox update

Mozilla takes wraps off Firefox 1.5November 29, 2005
The most serious of the bugs could be exploited by miscreants to hijack vulnerable systems, Mozilla said Thursday. The company, which oversees Firefox development, has published security advisories for each of the flaws repaired by the Firefox update.
"Firefox 188.8.131.52 is a security update that is part of our ongoing program to provide a safe Internet experience for our customers," Mozilla said on its Web site. "We recommend that all users upgrade to this latest version."
Security monitoring company Secunia deems the Firefox issues "highly critical," one notch below its most severe rating.
The latest Firefox update comes a month after the previous security fix release for the popular open-source browser. Users of Firefox 1.5 or newer, released last November, will receive the patches automatically.
While the security flaws may affect the earlier 1.0 versions of Firefox, Mozilla is not providing security updates for those releases. "1.0.8 is the last update for the 1.0.x line of Firefox," a company representative said. All users are advised to upgrade to the 184.108.40.206 version. The 1.0.8 version came out in April.

Well put, Riyan. I'm sure you noticed how the smug crowd who used to crawl out of the woodwork every time an IE flaw was discovered are strangely silent these days. What they conveniently overlooked in Firefox's early days is that it was so "secure" simply because no hacker worth his salt gave a damn about some browser holding a whopping 5% of the market. Why bother?
Of course, the exact same parallel is true with the Mac crowd. The latest virus hits the PC scene and look out, here they come! "We don't have viruses on Macs, ha-ha-ha!" Again, who would bother trying to hack a computer that garnered a staggering 5% of the computer market? But, like the Firefox story, these same people became strangely silent once some bored hackers decided to take the Mac out for a spin and proved it's as penetrable as the rest of them.
Now, in the past, that's all I would have said on the subject. But with the New Politically-Based C-Net, with its not-so-obvious left-wing slant, it seems only 'right' to put a politcal angle on things. And here it is:
Any Democrats using Firefox or Macs should be thrilled at the news that their pet browser or OS is now as vulnerable to attacks as IE and Windows are. Isn't that the core of the Democratic party, socialism and a level playing field?

- Security point
- Ok, having been in I.T. for the past 11 years I have see a lot. I have seen Windows hacked, Unix hacked, and Mac OS hacked. I've seen IIS brought to its knees by DoS attacks. I have also see the same with Apache. Bottom Line: They all can be hacked or cracked or somehow broken into. PERIOD!!
If someone wants in, they will get in, I don't care what you use. I use both Firefox and IE, Firefox is my primary browser. I use it because I like it, it can be costumized just how I like it.
It's fun to work with, and I just plain like it. Besides, has anyone looked at IE 7, it looks remarkably like Firefox.
Bottom line gentlemen and ladies(if any have posted) Use want you want, and let the rest of us use what we want. And remember, all software has bugs, whether they be security or otherwise.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah - The No. 29 Boise State men's tennis team earned its' first win over a ranked opponent this season, Friday (Feb. 26) evening, as the Broncos took down No. 70 Utah, 6-1, at the Eccles Tennis Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Prior to Friday the Broncos had faced four nationally ranked opponents, whom they played to a 0-3 record with one match ending in a rain delay. Their fortune would be reversed today, however, as Boise State secured the doubles point and never looked back.
Vicente Joli and Filipp Pogostkin earned the first doubles win for Boise State, beating Stephen Jacobs and Jason Smits 8-6 at No. 2. After dropping the No. 3 doubles point, the Broncos needed a 9-8 win by James Meredith and Jeff Mullen over Phillip Eilers and Alex Golding at No. 1 to earn the 1-0 advantage heading into singles.
From there the Broncos rolled, winning the first five singles matches to put the dual well out of reach. No. 36 Meredith earned a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 win over Eilers at No. 1, while Joli beat Smith 6-4, 6-4 at No. 2. Next, Pogostkin beat Dmytro Mamedov, 6-4, 6-2, in the No. 4 match, which was followed by Cristian Hodel's 6-2, 6-2 victory over Timmy Allin at No. 5. Boise State capped its' day off with a win at No. 6 as Mullen beat Jacobs, 6-4, 6-3.
The Ute's did narrow the final score to 6-1 with a 6-4, 4-6, 10-7 win by Golding over Harry Skinner in the No. 3 singles match, but not before the team score was well out of reach.
With the win, Boise State improves its' overall record this season to 4-3 (1-0 Western Athletic Conference). The Broncos conclude their weekend road trip on Saturday (Feb. 27) with a dual against Brigham Young University at 4 p.m. in Provo, Utah.

'The Good Potato Guide' by Lawrence Hills HDRA, pp 28, Pounds sterling 1.75*
POTATOES are a much maligned food. Many people regard them as plate fillers, and fattening fillers at that. They have been blamed for poisonings, anencephaly and spina bifida in their long and turbulent history. Despite such disreputable rumours we have steadfastly stuck to the potato, each adult in Britain eating on average 100 kilograms of potatoes per year. In The Good Potato Guide, Lawrence Hills, of the Henry Doubleday Research Association, points out the soundness of that stance.
We now know that a pound of starch-reduced slimming biscuits contains three-and-a-half times as much carbohydrate as a pound of boiled potatoes. Spuds contribute about 4 per cent of our protein (of higher value than from any other plant), 8 per cent of our iron, 10 per cent of our thiamine and 24 per cent of our vitamin C, ...

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Retro'.
We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Retro'.
Retro and vintage are becoming a new trend. Once rarely used in this robust, dynamic medium, early, retro and vintage elements are now becoming more and more popular in a variety of design contexts. Online shops, corporate designs, portfolios and blogs incorporate both styles on a small and large scale. When applying "old-style" elements to their works, designers produce creative and appealing designs that make their websites stand out and look really different. As a matter of fact, if executed carefully, such designs almost never look boring, although one might intuitively think that the opposite would be the case.
Retro and vintage designs exhibit graphic solutions that are strongly influenced by the time period that they are supposed to represent. While retro focuses on the style of the 1910s to 1930s, vintage recalls the time period between the 1950s and 1980s. In both cases, design elements reflect some old-fashioned motifs, trends, personalities and objects that had been an essential part of our lives in the past.Read more...
As a visual art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s, pop art aims to emphasize the nature of things popular in our daily routine. In pop art, most artists use mechanical means of rendering techniques that downplay the expressive hand of the artist. Being an art movement, it has some expressive attributes other styles do not possess.
In pop art, a vivid manifestation of pop culture reflects in vibrant colors and busy, sometimes hardly recognizable artistic approaches. Street culture, trash, collage, comic books, grunge, graffiti and photo montage are typical design elements that were widely used by designers and artists a few decades ago. And since grunge found its way back and became popular again, it makes perfect sense to analyze the design elements of pop art which are similar to this artistic style.
This post presents 75 outstanding examples of classic and modern pop art. Hopefully, everybody will find some inspiration for future works or at least smile when scanning the images presented below. Please notice: pop art can be quite vibrant and not necessarily pretty — in fact, some examples show that it doesn't have to be pretty at all.
Please take a look at the following similar and related posts:
Retro and vintage designs are often considered as being outdated, looking old, unattractive and dull. That's not true. Although compared to modern design, retro is mostly a completely different realm, it has a large variety of benefits modern graphic designers often tend to overlook. And that's a pity. Because we, as designers, can learn a lot from it.
Nostalgic designs arise feelings, awake memories and better manage to involve broad range of readers even although they don't really realize it. Furthermore, retro can look cool and offer readers or visitors something they haven't expected at all. So why not try to impress them with some impressive vintage art for a change?
Below you'll find the celebration of retro and vintage design — ads, illustrations, book covers, pins and posters from 1920-1980s. The images weren't necessarily created in the mid of 20th century. Vintage is living today which is why this post also features artists and designers who make use of the vintage and retro style in their works.
Please notice: if after reading this post you'll experience some need for buying ice cream, chewing gum or eating sausages, it's not our fault.Read more...

Downtown Car Flipper in Court
In court today in La Crosse: the guy who flipped his car in downtown La Crosse on Friday while reaching for a CD. Cops say 25 year-old `Jordan Hayes overturned his car on second street by the Radisson on Friday afternoon while trying to reach a CD on the floor. Cops say he'd been drinking that morning. Possibly smoking pot. They found pot and methamphetamine in the car. Or, more appropriately, on the ground. Which is where all the stuff wound up when a tow truck flipped the car back over. Hayes has a previous conviction for OWI.

BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins has confirmed that BlackBerry will be releasing new smartphone designs later this year, in an interview with The Canadian Press. Following on from the European launch at the start of 2013, I can't decide if I agree with Heins' move, or if he's going to upset the consumer market and depress sales.
The Z10 has just reached the US market, and while we wait for the sales figures to come in, many consumers will be considering the handset for purchase. As with any tech purchase, the worry is that something better will be put on sale in the months after the decision is made. There's no question now, something better is coming. So why take a risk on this first handset?' many will think. 'Let's see how it sells and wait for the next model.'
But at the same time, it shows that BlackBerry has a plan going forward, a plan that involves a number of new handsets, and these handsets will populate a number of different price points, giving network operators a chance to range BlackBerry 10 devices across a wide spectrum of prices. In theory that significantly increases the target market.
There's a fine line to walk between giving people confidence in a platform with forward looking plans, and painting such a rosy picture of the future that everyone decides to wait. I think Heins has just about managed this for the rest of the world, where the Z10 has been available for close to three months.
Perhaps it is a bit too soon to trail new devices in the US market, but with networks reliant on huge subsidies to bring the cost of leading smartphones down to $100 (or less) the value for money in a cheaper handset would have less of an impact on US sales. While the rest of the world will look to mid and low range handsets, the US based Z10 is already in the 'cheap' price band.
BlackBerry's success or failure with BB10 will not be down to a single decision, but a series of calls throughout the year that will influence the perception of the platform. That is a very delicate act to balance out, and even harder to demonstrate to investors, board members, and interested parties. This hardware announcement, even without statistics or details, adds a tiny bit more weight to the negative side of things. Hopefully sales figures (as opposed to shipping figures) will balance it out over the current quarter.

Macaulay Culkin's Pizza Underground band video: 'Take a Bite of the Wild Slice' anyone?
Macaulay Culkin's post- "Home Alone" career has always been a bit odd. But his new band, The Pizza Underground, may be the strangest chapter in the tale of Culkin's life. Now that band has a music video for the songs "Take a Bite of the Wild Slice" and "Pizza Gal."
The Italian food-loving, Velvet Underground cover band parodies famous rock songs to make them about pizza. "Take a Bite of the Wild Slice," for example, is derived from "Take a Walk on the Wild Side," and "Pizza Gal" comes from "Femme Fatale."
In the resulting video, Culkin and his four bandmates perform in sunglasses and occasionally pizza masks. There are slices dangling from the ceiling. Culkin gets a kazoo-trumpet solo.
It's very weird. The question is: Is this weirdness art or just a case of the munchies set to music?

I took all my kids to see KORN in Denver a few years ago. Now, I am looking forward to seeing the band in Utah in November. I talked some of my friends at work into going and it will be a blast. The music is always sublime.

Body soaps are fixtures in any bathroom. It is practically impossible to shower without body soaps, unless of course, you use body wash. In any case, body soaps are not created equal. There are body soaps that are merely fragrances in a bar. These would sometimes lack the cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising features that are also important in body soaps.
In local grocery stores, beauty bars, and skincare outlets, you'll find a wide array of beauty soaps that come in different prices, sizes, shapes, and brands. When planning to buy one, it's best to look for the five skin health essentials: cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising, nourishing, and protecting. Body soaps may be made of organic shea butter, a mix of unique flowers, organic herbs, and plant oil. Body soaps that are nondrying and help remove buildup in clogged pores are great to use.
Body soaps may be scented or unscented. Body soaps made of natural ingredients may also use unique blends of scents other than moisturising oils and vitamins. Most body soaps are known for their citrus scents and floral fragrances.
Designer brands also came up with their own perfumed body soaps. Perfumed body soaps are known for being luxuriously creamy, leaving you with silky smooth skin through regular use. These body soaps may smell of vanilla or orange flower. However, expect these soaps to be a bit pricey than regular ones. They are usually a part of the designer brand's beauty kit, which usually includes lotion and other skincare products.

Each week I will release a new DoublePage MultiFoto Summer Layered Template into the store with and editable page title prompt. Keep the title and fontwork as is or change to suit your style and preference.
Its not really Summer unless its warm enough to strip off in the back yard. This has been the unofficial rule of thumb for as long as I can remember. If I think back to my childhood paddling pool and garden sprinkler childhood days, and then those first years of Ellas life in Japan, and Lukes in Alaska, then I know this certainly to be true. Still a little early for the anticipated big Summer vacation but these types of days give a little taste of what is to come fueling the desire for the school year to be done. These are the best types of days, at home, soaking up every minute of Summers promise. And these types of memories are best made with friends. The more the merrier. Lukes day care providers daughters, Kelsey and Ainsley came over for the afternoon for some slippin n sliding and Carolyn joined in on the fun too. Who knew this $10 purchase from Target would create so much fun. Summer? Bring it on. Weve got plans for you. Sunday June 6 , 2010.

Bunchball founder Rajat Paharia at Gamificaiton Rockstar Roadshow in New York City Michael del Castillo
At the Gamification Rockstar Roadshow in New York, gamification startup Bunchball's founder broke down how play can make work more fun.
Gamification is the application of game principles in non-game contexts. In other words, using rewards to elicit a response, like Pavlov did when he made his famous dogs drool at the sound of a bell.
It turns out humans aren't all that difficult to inspire with a few well-placed rewards that give them that warm and fuzzy feeling. And at today's Gamification Rockstar Roadshow in New York, hosted by gamification startup Bunchball, the company's founder Rajat Paharia broke down how play can make work more fun.
"With great technology comes an incredible amount of complexity and you're expecting your employees to learn the tools of the trade, your customers to learn everything you have to offer, your partners to learn your products so they can sell them," said Paharia. "And in that context, the companies that understand and know how to teach and educate and get all their constituents to go through this training and to learn these things, are going to win in the marketplace."
At the event, experts demonstrated how applying game mechanics can help create communities of customers and motivate employees and partners to learn more, collaborate better and work more efficiently.
According to a statement from Bunchball the company, which helps businesses motivate behaviors using gamification has had new customer acquisition grow by 167 percent in 2012 with enterprise customers like Adobe, Hewlett Packard, Cisco, Warner Bros., Comcast, LiveOps, VMware and Hasbro making up the lion's share.
Michael del Castillo is the technology and innovation reporter at Upstart Business Journal, a member of American City Business Journals. A graduate of Columbia University, his work has appeared in the New Yorker. He is also the cofounder of Literary Manhattan, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Manhattan's literary community and creating new ways to appreciate literature.

The Rope Collection celebrates the beautiful form and textures found in ropes, both individually and when they are massed together. Michael's version seeks to express the unique undulations and the rough texture created as the ropes are used, particularly in a nautical enviroment. Although appropriate for anyone, the collection was conceived as gifts for the modern gentleman. The objects can be used to accessorize the home or office, and can be used for enjoying an evening drink or even bringing a touch of style to a poker game. It is perfect for the modern aesthete who wants to take ownership of his own elegance and interests.
"On a recent trip to Alaska, I was boarding a ship and I took notice of a large pile of ropes laying on the dock…to me, there was something so beautiful, yet intriguing about the rough textures and shapes the ropes created. It got me thinking about the fact that ropes are integral objects for everyday lives. They capture the adventurous spirit of the ocean and the nautical world. They have an inherent vigor as well as a wonderful grace."
Details :
Michael Aram is an American born artist who works primarily in metal. After studying fine art and living as an artist in New York in the late 1980's, Aram took what would later be a life-altering trip to India where he discovered rich metalworking traditions. Inspired to work with craftsmen whose skills he felt were greatly untapped, Aram turned his creative energies towards craft based design, setting up a home and workshop in New Delhi.
Aram's work reflects humanity through the directness of the handmade process, as each piece is lovingly made using age old traditional techniques. The artisan nature of the work imbues it with a soulful quality and an energy, which Aram feels is only possible with work, which reflects the hand of the maker. This energy is further enhanced by the tension of line, form, and meaning that is characteristic of Aram's work. As extraordinary objects, they cause us to pause and consider them, and therefore create a sense of ritual and ceremony in their day to day use.
The objects range from tableware to furniture, both are sold in galleries and specialty stores worldwide. This broad diversity embodies Aram's versatility as an artist who is comfortable working on private commissions, one of a kind piece for gallery shows, or pieces that are affordable to a wider audience.
Bridging the gap between the artist and artisan is a hallmark of Michael Aram's work. Whether in his narrative and figurative "signature" collection, or in his more contemporary 'studio' line, each piece is entirely handmade with no two examples ever exactly the same. The handmade quality of the work allows it to shift beautifully between the realm of fine and decorative art. This enduring melange of quality and originality sits comfortably at home in contemporary as well as in more classical interiors.
Appropriately, in Hindi, "aram" means "gently, with peace, with love and care". Repeating this direction mantra-like to the craftsmen, Aram succeeds in making high quality work, which is as much a personal statement, as its appeal is universal.
The gift buying team at Borsheim's travels the world over to find exclusive gift designers that meet our rigid selection criteria. We have minimum standards of quality that each designer must meet before we will consider their product for our inventory. Not just any item can be placed inside a Borsheim's box.

I found that Wal-Mart was selling a new copy of Windows Vista Basic edition for $100. I wonder how long that will continue to sit and what they will do with it. This isn't the first time I caught Wal-Mart selling something old, a month ago or so, I also found Wal-Mart still selling PlayStation 1 games also.

When I'm in Vegas, it's difficult for me to relax. I had to argue with myself just to take this seat at Starbucks at Rio and jot down this quick update. It's actually taken about six minutes just to come up with the first two sentences and I haven't even said shit yet. My mind races and there are hands being dealt and I'm not being dealt one.
If you follow my twitter (I know... who would?), you know that my luggage didn't arrive in Vegas when I did. Vision airlines. I mean, who the fuck is VISION AIRLINES?? Well, they fly out of Gvegas two days a week and I happened to want to leave on one of those days. So for $229 one way plus $15 to check said luggage (ironic?), they left my bag in Destin Florida. I was in Vegas for two full days wearing the same socks, underwear, everything. I was miserable. I was on life tilt and I argued and yelled at Vision Airlines the whole time. It's pretty hard to focus on poker with all that going on. I don't tilt much at the table, but life tilt is something that I ave no control over.
I'm down a little. I played at the Rio for the first four days as I was staying here and then on the fifth night I stayed at the Flaming and played at Aria. Those five nights were comped through Harrah's and then I went downtown and paid to stay at the Golden Gate. The room was tiny and was more suitable for drugs and hookers, but I only slept there. I played the uncapped 1-2 game at the Golden Nugget all weekeend and ran like total shit. I flopped two pair about fifty time just to be called down and rivered. Whaa, whaa... I know. I'm just saying, I'm down a little. I love downtown though. I'm over it for now, but I do love it.
I'm back at the Rio today. The next four nights are comped again and I intend to keep fighting the fight. It takes me a few days to get on track here anyway, especially with sleep. I feel pretty good right now and as usual, typing this stuff out is theraputic, like a massage. I'm gonna go grab a seat in a 2-5 game and then later I may travel over to Aria where, by the way, I had my best session so far this trip with an win of $1100. I need to get some chips and hold on to them for a few days and we'll be on track.

love to hear about some profitable and losing sessions in more detail, especially Aria, as I've never played there. Give Bally's and Bellagio a shot as well, they can be profitable rooms w/ a good collection of tourists and Eurodonks. GL!!ReplyDelete

Next time play at The Orleans. Loose locals and lots of gambling asians... Definitely worth the cab ride.ReplyDelete
MGM is a good place for $1-$2 as well as Bellagio... and the M Resort if you have transportation.

Hammond's icons: the Ford Mustang
Hamster thinks Ford came up with the perfect formula with this one...
Posted: 26 Oct 2012
It stands to reason that not every example of a 40-something-year-old car will perform in exactly the same way, but the 390 makes 265bhp - at least mine does, now I've finally had the proper-sized carb fitted - which means 0-60 is over in 6.2 seconds and top speed is a smokey-stirring 130mph. But, above all else, it's about kicking back and letting the whole blue-collar, Saturday night, bar stools 'n' jukeboxes experience wash over you. Even the rear-view mirror is in widescreen format and turns the world vanishing behind into a movie.

By STEVEN NALLEY
The Starkville Board of Aldermen approved new seal, logo and flag designs for the city and approved spending $1,500 to purchase 12 flags featuring the logo at its meeting Tuesday night at City Hall.
Versions of the design used for both the logo and flag currently appear on the Starkville Convention and VisitorsŌĆÖ BureauŌĆÖs official web site at http://visit.starkville.org/. The city also previously used a version of the design for a flag in the Mississippi Municipal LeagueŌĆÖs Parade of Flags at its summer 2011 conference.
Ward 5 Alderman Jeremiah Dumas presented examples to board members with several different versions of the logo. Dumas said the cityŌĆÖs seal, an image of an eagle encircled with the words ŌĆ£City of StarkvilleŌĆØ and ŌĆ£State of Mississippi,ŌĆØ would remain the same, except with sharper image quality. What would change, he said, is the cityŌĆÖs current logo, an image of City Hall used in city reports and on the cityŌĆÖs calendar.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm not a graphic designer, but I do know that is not the best logo we could possibly have, especially when weŌĆÖve talked so ugly about (City Hall) the way we have over the past year and the need of improvement,ŌĆØ Dumas said.
Dumas said the logo concept came from the same consultants who produced the proposed form-based codes. The consultants produced the logo as part of an effort to improve the cityŌĆÖs branding and marketing, he said, and it will come with a style guide containing suggested uses and the correct colors to use with it.
ŌĆ£This (logo) has been vetted across town, and it was publicized broadly,ŌĆØ Dumas said. ŌĆ£People are using it in earnest, and it was my goal just to bring it forward so that we could have official adoption.ŌĆØ
Dumas said the version of the logo used for the flags would feature white lettering with a maroon background. Unlike the flag used for the MML conference, Dumas said, the 12 flags to be purchased would feature the design on both sides.
Dumas said the flags would appear in the mayorŌĆÖs office, in the city courtroom, outside City Hall and at all five city fire stations.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖd have a uniform look across the city relating to how we brand and market the city,ŌĆØ Dumas said. ŌĆ£As yŌĆÖall may remember, we had a flag that looked like an Italian flag with ŌĆśThe City of StarkvilleŌĆÖ written in script. (IŌĆÖm) not sure where that came from.ŌĆØ
The board accepted both the purchase of the flags and a separate item for acceptance of the seal, logo and flag designs by votes of 4-2, with Ward 6 Alderman Roy A. Perkins and Ward 7 Alderman Henry N. Vaughn voting against both measures. Ward 1 Alderman Ben Carver was absent.
Perkins said he voted against the designs and flags to encourage more cautious use of city funds and further study of alternative designs.
ŌĆ£I just want us to make the best and most informed decision with respect to the matter,ŌĆØ Perkins said. ŌĆ£After choosing our design, then I want to make sure the money that is associated with it is the best expenditure of taxpayer funds.ŌĆØ

Controversial Brian Clough film to be released during his birthday week
Posted: December 01, 2008|
A FRIEND of Brian Clough has attacked a decision to release a controversial film about the late football manager's life in what would have been his birthday week.
Derby-based BAFTA award-wining TV and film writer, Don Shaw, says he wishes the new film – expected to portray Clough as aggressive and foul-mouthed – had never been made.
The Damned United, based on a novel about Clough's 44 days in charge of Leeds United, will be released in cinemas on March 27.
Clough resigned as manager of the Rams in 1973 after guiding them to League Championship glory. Following an unsuccessful spell as manager of Brighton, he accepted the manager's job at Leeds in 1974, but his forthright views upset many of the staff and a revolt brought the end to his short reign at the club.
Mr Shaw, family friend of the Cloughs, said The Damned United book gave an inaccurate picture and he expected the film to be no different.
Mr Shaw, 74, of Mickleover, said he wished it had never been made.
He said: "The viewer will see a very thrusting, aggressive Clough, no doubt using the F-word all the time.
"But he never used the F-word. I know this by speaking to two players from his Derby County days – Kevin Hector and Roy McFarland – who said he never used that word.
"In many ways he was a gentleman. A gentleman with a set of values."
Mr Shaw said the Clough family, including wife Barbara, daughter Libby, and son Nigel – manager of Burton Albion – were all annoyed about the film.
He said: "It's being released six days after what would have been his 74th birthday so it has the potential to be upsetting.
"I've written several drama documentaries in my time so I know that people tend to see what's on screen as gospel fact. I hope that doesn't happen here."
Mr Shaw is also writing a book about Clough called Clough's War, which will be published in May next year.
Previously, Barbara Clough had told the Evening Telegraph she was unhappy with the book. She said: "I started to read a review of it and what people were saying about my husband.
"Later, a friend told me that people were going to think that Brian was just like he is in the book, which he wasn't."
The Damned United, which was filmed at Chesterfield FC's Saltergate ground, stars Michael Sheen, who portrayed Tony Blair alongside Helen Mirren in The Queen. Actors Jim Broadbent, Timothy Spall and Colm Meaney also star.
No-one at Sony Entertainment, which owns the rights to the film, was available to comment.

Well, Go Pro anyway and will sone be up to his ears with video footage of him…walking.

Guy's App Pick: Screenflow by Telestream $99.99 at the Mac App Store
Gaz's App Pick: A six pack game set at a real low price from Feral interactive 19.99 $'s (£13.64) wow did I say these are Mac games, no well they're Mac games and some cracking titles, I hope you hear this in time as the offer ends Sunday 2nd June. when I checked if you pre ordered you could also get a 10 $ voucher off another Feral game. The downside you have to create an account for the Mac Game store, but to be honest thats a small price.
: Tim Robertson picks Modern Conflict 2. Great turn-based game that takes everything that was great with the first one, and… well, doesn't mess it up!
Photo Effect Studio Pro is available on the Mac App Store

Version Reviewed: 2.0.1
License: US$7.99 Requires Mac OS X 10.6 or later
Photo Effect Studio Pro is a digital photography application specializing specifically in altering your photographs. It's not a replacement or a competitor for Adobe's Photoshop or Pixelmator but it does offer some very compelling options to be a very good companion to both these applications.
Many times users may not need the complete feature set available with higher end applications, and with that in mind Photo Effect Studio Pro fills the void.

Have you ever taken a photograph of a spectacular sunrise or sunset only to notice that there is a distracting sign or power lines in the frame?
Inpaint can help you remove these distractions with ease. The process is known as cloning and has been a feature of many photographic editing applications over the years. Inpaint concentrates solely on this functionality and does so in an interesting way.
Traditionally you would select an area to clone using the cloning stamp and then you would proceed to replace the unwanted content with the information captured. Inpaint in contrast only requires the user to highlight the area of the photograph they wish to have removed. Then with one click of a button the distraction is gone.

A sad beginning to the show. After Gaz and Guy finished recording Tuesday, Steve Jobs resigned from Apple. This was too big a story to wait until next week so Tim Robertson (you MAY have heard of him) and Guy record their thoughts on the passing of the torch at our favorite tech company. It's at the beginning of the show but was recorded later…mind explodes!
Meanwhile some time before that, a rare East Coast earthquake shakes things up for Guy and he seems a little more brain scattered than usual, but fortunately Gaz is there to keep him on the straight and narrow. The whole HP/WebOS thing whets some mention along with updates, Mac App Store pricing, oddly shaped German Tablets, and Orangoutangs. How is Version and Auto-Save different? We have to stop the show to find out and Gaz FINALLY gets a People's Pick (or three). Guy cuts a bit of himself out of the show because he basically gave away Gaz's Contest…BAD GUY!

I've written this review on Yelp as well, but I want to make sure that even non-Yelp users who perform a minimum amount of due diligence have an opportunity to save themselves from the abysmal atrocities that will occur as a result of doing business with Acclaimed Movers & Storage.
AM&S is unfortunately, the epitome of unprofessional, the embodiment of deception, and the defacto example of what you want to avoid when asking a moving company to handle your personal belongings. You can NOT trust AM&S to treat your possessions with the care, security, and trust that they should be. They will over-promise and under-deliver, and not feel bad in the least when you are inconvenienced by their mediocrity.
Even after asking if AM&S could deliver within a specified window and receiving assurance that such a delivery was feasible, AM&S reneged on this commitment and scheduled delivery for the following week, thus disrupting a new job-start date, travel plans, and forcing extra costs to be incurred (temporary kitchen utensil and furniture arrangements, eating out, etc).
Itemization of (some) Failures by AM&S:
–Failure to Notify of impending Delay
–Failure to return any subsequent phone call within timeframe specified by AM&S, or return phone call at all
–Failure to Meet Agreed upon deadline
–Failure to offer any kind of consolation, consideration, or compensation to customer
–Failure to speak to a 'person' and instead resorted to 'contract speak' and quoting business policy in order to explain AM&S's behavior and business conduct.
–Failure to meet delivery date by more than five (5) days
You may be tempted to save money by using this service, but the peace of mind (and potential loss of your belongings) that you will lose as a result of dealing with the incompetence of this company is NOT worth that dollar savings.
Do yourself a favor and consider a moving company that has demonstrated and earned its opportunity to do business with you, and one that is more deserving of your trust.
Oh, and I see their PR-damage-control rep, "Eugina C." is berating and attacking former customers on Yelp as well. If you are still thinking about using this service, just go to Yelp and see how they respond to 1-star reviews, and ask yourself if that is how you want to be treated.
Also, Google Reviews seems to be planted with a lot of fake reviews for this service – all the people who reviewed the service gave it 5 stars and it was the only review that each of the individuals had ever written (and all within a 3 months period of today)!
To wrap up, don't trust the Better Business Bureau's review of their service. It is shady that the BBB could accredit this service, but a crowd-sourced review system like Yelp could tell a completely different story.

The Tennessee Titans, than whom few football teams are more conservative, have always preferred runs to passes. But their famous old runner, Eddie George, who is averaging a bleak 2.9 yards this season, can't move them now. Neither can any other Titan runner.
So, reluctantly, lacking any better option, the Titans have asked passer Steve McNair to do it. And that simple change has turned McNair into pro football's Player of the Year, as you can see when 7-2 Tennessee entertains 2-7 Jacksonville next Sunday.
Jeff Fisher envisioned the season.
Fisher hoped George would come back from an off year with a big year.
The very last thing Fisher wants is a passing team. But when you can't run, you obviously have to throw it. And as the Titans trounced Miami in a Week 10 headliner, 31-7, McNair, who's played this well for years, was the offense as usual Sunday, advancing the Titans to their decisive early three-touchdown lead with one well-directed pass after another.
Fisher, a 23-16 loser in Super Bowl XXXIV, could have upset the Rams that day if he'd played that game this way. But with McNair and George both then available, Fisher, until it was too late, kept giving the ball to George.
Play-Calling Makes the Difference
THE SAN DIEGO CHARGERS might not be able to show Denver next Sunday that they've finally learned how a smart pro club can win. For Denver is too tough. But last week, in a 42-28 upset, the Chargers showed Minnesota.
With 41-years-young Doug Flutie at quarterback, they proved that wise play selection makes all the difference in football.
Flutie's coach, Marty Schottenheimer, one of the NFL's soundest overall — except, perhaps, as an offensive strategist — let his little old quarterback call most of his own plays that day, according to several of Flutie's teammates. And though the plays were the same ones San Diego had used to lose seven earlier games, they were astonishingly effective as rearranged according to Flutie's priorities.
Calling a bunch of early-down passes and late-down misdirection runs, Flutie, who completed 21 of 29 for 240 yards, used running back LaDainian Tomlinson as a counterpuncher — instead of a heavy-duty power runner, his usual role — and got 162 yards out of Tomlinson on only 16 carries.
The veteran quarterback set the stage on his first series, throwing three times to receiver David Boston on San Diego's first six plays and calling Tomlinson's number only once in that span. In prior Charger appearances this season, Tomlinson was normally seen four or five times in such a series and Boston not at all despite his standing as one of the great AFC receivers.
Anyhow, with a surprise 7-0 lead, Flutie, making note of the Vikings' hectic, impromptu pass-defense changes, soon slipped the ball to Tomlinson for a 73-yard touchdown run and a 14-0 lead. And before the first quarter was half over, Flutie had taken over, winning with the most reliable football formula: a pass when the opponents expect a run, and a run when they anticipate a pass.
First Down Best Passing Down
THE OAKLAND RAIDERS used to win Flutie's way in the old days when Hall of Famer George Blanda, then well into his 40s, came in as a relief pitcher once in a while to win a game that starting quarterback Ken Stabler seemed to be losing. Blanda did it with the same plays other Raider passers used. He simply called them in a different order.
"Play-selection makes the biggest difference in winning and losing," Blanda once said after 25 years of playing, and studying, the game. By play-selection, he said, he meant: "When, where, and why you run or throw the ball and who gets to run or catch it."
Thus, Blanda preferred to throw on first down because, he said, NFL defensive players must on first down always be positioned for either a run or pass — meaning their linebackers are less likely to blitz the passer on that down, which means that passers are less likely to get hit on that down. And no passer asks to get hit.
Similarly, in the Minnesota game, Flutie was throwing first-down passes — sometimes even first-down dunk stuff that was often good for a few yards — making everything else possible: from Tomlinson's runs on second down to reverses on third down as well as Flutie's trademark jump passes and surprise short quarterback runs for two touchdowns.
It wasn't Flutie who won the game, it was Flutie's play-calling. The Chargers could have won that day with their other passer, Drew Brees, if Flutie had called the plays.
