Spanger needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 253 designs submitted by 48 freelance designers.
We are an art company specialized in decorating hotels, offices, restaurants and furniture stores with trendy, modern and stylish wall decor. We are looking for a logo design that can be used on our new to build website but also for our marketing and advertising needs. I hope you can create something really nice.
Good Luck!!
Ratings System:
2 star and below - not really what we're looking for.
3 star - getting closer but need revisions or a different take on your
4 star - design is being considered
5 star - We really like the design and will make the final selections from
UPDATE: I will add $50 to the winning design if it has a business card too! So if the winner has no business card the price will be $300 and if the winner has also designed a business card the price will be $350
Art is our business but not in the way like a gallery. The most important thing is that our art works match in the clients interior by style and colors. So our artworks are mostly to decorate. Besides the quality, design and style we also want to offer a reasonable price and thats why we came up with this company name.
- Our company name is a mix between the words art and affordable so we want the company name to be 1 word but you have to see the difference in colors between art and fordable so our clients immediately see it has something to do with art. I attached a sample .
- The background color of the website will be black and we like the colors silver and red in the company name.
- The company name should be in the logo and is also the most important so the company name should really stand out.
- Our wall decor designs are modern and trendy and are used by interior designers so the logo must also be modern, trendy and stylish (but not in a classical way).
- Be creative.
- Besides our logo it would be very nice to have some sort of tagline that show in a short way what we do.
- No frames, paintbrushes or classical letters in the logo please.

Well, "cause feeling/cause to feel", then? "pilin" can be feeling as well, rather than just thought. If you cause someone to feel a certain way, isn't that pretty close to persuade even for philosophically-minded individuals such as yourself?
Alright, in that case I'll stick with the early "ni". It's a good thing too, that that is allowed, because it would make certain things a lot more difficult and roundabout to express if it weren't.

Instagram went to version 2 and while initial reactions were mixed, popularity didn't seem to suffer one bit. Photogene also went to version 2, making a powerful photo editor even more powerful. Snapseed brings great enhancements and great filters together into one great app.
Apple's iMovie video editor hit the bigger screen, launching as a universal app alongside the iPad 2. 8mm Vintage Camera brought an old school aesthetic to one of the newest shooters on the planet.
GarageBand brought Apple's multitrack music editor to iOS, complete with instruments. Djay let you mix tracks so realistically you'll think you're in an 80s breaking movie. DM1 - The Drum Machine turned your iPad into a vintage drum kit.
Yes, it's odd jumbling all these apps together, but to keep the number of categories sane, we had to it. They all have two things in common, however -- they're all great and you have to pick your favorite. Vote up top and tell us why you voted they way you did in the comments! These are your awards, so get to it!

Fact Sheet
Normal Laboratory Values
September 19, 2012
Important NotesEach commercial laboratory has its own set of "normal" values, called "Normal Range" or "Reference Range" on your lab report. These values depend on the equipment or method used. Compare your results to the range shown on your lab report. Results that are "out of range" may not represent a problem. Your test results can be affected by several factors, including your age or gender, if you are pregnant, the time of day when the sample was taken, active infections, stage of HIV disease, and food (some test samples need to be taken after you have fasted -- not eaten anything -- for several hours). Where normal values for men and women are different, they are indicated as W for women and M for men. Discuss "out of range" results with your health care provider.
The table below compares the units used in the United States with the "Système International d'Unités (SI units), a metric system used in many parts of the world. The last column, "To Convert US to SI Units," is the factor to multiply US lab values to convert them to SI units. To convert SI units to US units, divide the SI value by the conversion factor. See below for a terminology list.
Normal Laboratory Values
Unitsgram : common measurement of weight. Used in this table: pg (picograms), g (grams), mg (milligrams), etc. per liter
katal (kat) : a unit of catalytic activity, used especially in the chemistry of enzymes. Used in this table: µkat (microkatals), nkat (nanokatals) per liter
micrometer (µm) : a unit of length. Mean Corpuscular Volume is expressed in cubic micrometers
mole : also "gram molecular weight," a quantity based on the atomic weight of the substance. Many test results in the Système Internationale are expressed as the number of moles per liter. In US units, these measurements are usually in grams per liter. Used in this table: mmol (millimoles), µmol, (micromoles), nmol (nanomoles), pmol (picomoles) per liter
Some units of measurement include the following fractions and multipliers:
mega (M) : 10 6 or x1,000,000
kilo (k) : 10 3 or x1,000
deca or deka : 10 1 or x10
deci (d) : 10 -1 or ÷10
milli (m) : 10 -3 or ÷1,000
micro (µ) : 10 -6 or ÷1,000,000
nano (n) : 10 -9 or ÷1,000,000,000
pico (p) : 10 -12 or ÷1,000,000,000,000

Southwest Wake News
Apex could see changes to bus service
Commuters could soon have a quicker way to get to Research Triangle Park, but public transportation users could have fewer places to get on the bus in Apex.
Triangle Transit might eliminate all of the bus stops on N.C. 55 through Apex to create a shorter express route to RTP starting Aug. 18.
The proposed change for Route 311 means Apex would go from having about a dozen bus stops to two – at Apex Town Hall and Lake Pine Plaza.
The route would no longer stop at the Beaver Creek Commons shopping center or at the Compare Foods park-and-ride.
Triangle Transit is considering several route changes as part of its semi-annual review process. Twice a year, the authority looks at ridership and ways to improve service to fit customers' needs, said spokesman Brad Schulz.
While most other Triangle Transit routes are seeing increases in ridership, Route 311 has decreased or been stagnant the last several years, according to the group.
So the bus service wants to make the route more attractive to RTP commuters by reducing travel time and using N.C. 540, Schulz said.
The current route takes about an hour to get from Apex to the Regional Transit Center in Durham.
Even with a shorter travel time, Robert Smith said he will probably stop riding the bus. He plans to buy a car.
But his bus stop could be eliminated, so he would have to walk to the Lake Pine Plaza, which is further.
"It picks me up in front of my house," Smith said. "As bad as the walk is, riders have to be concerned about the weather. Think about if you have to walk through the rain, sleet, snow, cold. It's tougher."
Peter Tomaino recently moved to Apex with his wife from Virginia Beach, Va., to stay with his mother. He is unemployed and doesn't have a car, so he once used the 311 bus to give plasma in Raleigh to make some money.
"This is the only bus that goes there," Tomaino said. "They want to encourage people to use transit, but they take away places for people to go."
Tomaino said he worried how he would get to work once he finds employment.
"That means I can't get there even if I did get a job," he said.
Bus riders can voice concerns or learn more about the route changes during a public workshop Tuesday at Apex Town Hall. The drop-in session will be from 4-6 p.m.
Commuters who can't attend the workshop can fill out a survey on Triangle Transit's website, www.triangletransit.org.
During the workshop, Apex will also share information about a $1.8 million project to replace the Kelly Road bridge; add 920 feet of new sidewalk on Tingen Road; add 500 feet of new sidewalk on Old Raleigh Road East; and add new turn lanes at the intersection of U.S. 1 and Ten Ten Road.

I dropped in on the Bloggess's blog – i want a Jenny doll that dispenses pills and vodka, is nearly raped by giraffes (that was a couple of months ago), screams at Victor, oh, yeah, and offers William Shatner a hooker *snigger* – there's a merchandising opportunity for someone.
WAIT! Don't click that link, you'll be gone for hours, read the rest of this one, then go enjoy the Bloggess.
She mentioned Robert Scoble (aka @Scobelizer) unfollowing people on Twitter. So, through Jenny, (as i then checked) i discovered Mr Scoble had unfollowed me – i was one of the 102,000. (This is me resisting the urge to scream SPARTA and attack Mr Scoble with a short sword.) He now only follows people he knows, fellow-geeks, and (powerful) people he admires. [note, i had to change the link after Mr Scoble removed the post – that link's on Mashable, and they also reference the post he removed.]
WAIT! Don't click that link either, it's not relevant. *takes the safety off the Hello Kitty Kalashnikov* Don't make me shoot you before i give you the potted version. Oh frick, i suppose you're going to read it now.
It's basically him saying omg how amazing, if you pay attention to who your followers on Twitter are, and don't just follow back blindly, you have a better experience. Shock, horror! (Alright, so he has interesting bits on his blog you might like, i suppose you could look at it after you read The Bloggess.)
He followed TheBloggess back after a few hours. She's both admirable and powerful (and should be getting megabucks *gives meaningful stare at those who have megabucks*), and he knows her in real life *sighs* triple whammy.
Anyway, i didn't mind him unfollowing, it was silly of him to be following me, as we don't talk; i'm not a geek (i am not! I haven't programmed in a decade and i was never interested, I only did it because it was useful); i'm not famous or powerful, (yet); and anyway, i stopped following him back in about April. (I joined Twitter in mid March 09.)
We don't actually have anything in common, aside from following @TheBloggess on Twitter. He's a technological evangelist, I'm the Antichrist. Which probably means we do have things in common, but we haven't figured that out yet. I've unfollowed people on Twitter only to discover months later that i really enjoy their tweets, and i refollow.
Interesting fact about Twitter that i learned from his blog – even with 1,000 people, you start losing tweets – that is, they don't show up. I've noticed this at busy times (when the USA is online) with only 400 i'm following, and 500 followers.
Now, i don't refollow automatically, (since the first time someone spammed me), and i block anyone who's actually a spammer so they can't follow me.
The 'lost tweets' do seem to show up later for me, but i don't get that many @ replies in my tweetstream (check out how many people are tweeting strange things @ someone famous – it's scary) and most of my stream aren't directed @ me. Still interesting that the more people, the less you're able to actually communicate with them on Twitter.
Meanwhile, I'm thinking wow, he only just realised that being spammed on Twitter sucks. I was writing blogs on that months ago. We're talking about a man who joined back in… ooh, was it 20 November 2006?
Evidently, when he was following 102,000 people or so, (he autofollowed everyone back), he kept getting spammed. As we'd say in Australia, "Dur, Fred." (Means "I thought that was obvious.")
He also got a lot of pure advertising on his main Twitter screen, (say it aint so! who knew?!) and since he unfollowed everyone, (then followed back who he actually wanted to follow – gosh, there's a radical concept), he's lost the advertising! And no-one is spamming his DM box!
Where's the facepalm icon? Do you know anyone who facepalms in real life? I don't. I am not sure I know how. WTF is a facepalm anyway? Excuse me while i consult the oracles. Oh, wait, i DO know what a facepalm is, we didn't call it that before. (In real life, Mr Whatsit just facepalmed about something unrelated. Talk about life imitating art!)
Stop facepalming me!
Mind you, while you're busy judging me for that blonde moment – there are 190 people commenting on this dude's blog (though some also said their regional equivalent of "Dur, Fred").
Usually, not even 1 in 10 visitors comment, so the number of people reading him in a week is way more than my Beloved Visitors in total since March. *shines the Beloved Visitors and puts out the tea things* Yes, preciouses, you shall have crumpets with marmalade.
If i have ONE comment, i chuck a party! I get excited just knowing someone drops in EVERY day. Yes, you're here looking for porn, but i don't judge you! Actually, two people came here looking for "Malcolm Turnbull humour"and one for "bloody hello kitty" and there have been – as i predicted in previous posts – some lost ornithologists.
Porn visitors are still my main accidental market. *sighs* It's the net, i really shouldn't expect much more. Note the desperate, misspelled "real sex doll" hunters are out in force, but i do well from mentioning native animals – this is what Search Engine Optimisation experts don't tell you – budgies are good for hits.
Feel i should add, i didn't deliberately do this, it's like the eunuchs, i was just expressing myself, said 'penectomy', and i'm suddenly picking up the nullification and castration market.
However, Beloved Visitor numbers are pleasing Her Majesty, as for no reason we can discern (you don't always laugh at the bits we find hysterical), people are visiting – between 5-30 a day. We do better when we procrastinate on the book and play on Twitter, or if we can spare time to do blog posts and remember to promote them.
Mind you, many of Robert Scoble's Beloved Visitors (or the Bloggess's) who do comment are trying to promote their own websites, and it's interesting watching all the schmoozing going on. But i'm left thinking, well, good thing this Scoble bloke can run a website, or he'd be screwed, cos in the real world, he's a bigger blonde than i am. (If that hair's natural, i think he is, literally.)
Mr Scoble is an authority – evidently, *consults oracles again, using "robert scoble, authority, social media"* AND he was someone famous before last year. I had forgotten that last year even existed!
Now, 'Technical Evangelist' sounds like something made up, right? But no, they paid him, and all because he invented computers, the web, technical evangelism, worked for Microsoft and dared to criticise them, and was head wrangler on the 9-MSN website.
But he didn't know spam was boring shite something you're better off without? Well, there you go. Explains a lot about the 9-MSN website, and about Microsoft.
I've blogged before about most people who are held up as authorities, or say they understand social media – don't mean to include the Scobelizer in that, btw, he deserves credit for shanking Microsoft from within, for learning about his field (Twitter really is a better experience if you manage your followers), and for being like normal people, in putting off cleaning out his Twitter Followers.
I respect procrastination, that's a sign you're not Tony Robbins , or someone suckered by the 'everyone, get rich!' bollocks of the multi-level marketers, with the sub-text of 'if you're not rich, it's your fault'. (Subtext from me: do not punch the fucking air again, or i will kill you)
You may even deserve kudos for just getting out of bed in the morning. (The Scobelizer procrastinated so long, he had to get someone to write a program to delete that many. *suitably awed*)
Hopefully, he's learned size isn't everything. Size isn't even that important – as any woman will tell you, it's how you use what you're blessed with that matters.
Men nearly always translate this into keeping their Followers up for hours.
Women usually mean oral sex, kissing, and good touching.
Nothing to do with Twitter at all.
Feel i should mention, the above is mostly complete bullshit,
and meant as humour. Or even humor.
Follow Robert (Scobelizer) Scoble on Twitter
Follow @TheBloggess on Twitter
Follow @WilliamShatner on Twitter
Follow the war against William Shatner by TheBloggess's followers,
(even crazier than she is, and yes, i'm proud to be one),
after he blocked her on Twitter, on her blog link at the very top of the page
or at the Twitter trend #UnblockTheBloggess
His side of it? He has a side? I think he just thought she was nuts.
[note: eventually, he unblocked her and the army could go home, or at least stop tweeting]
Follow me on Twitter @stinginthetail
The rules are simple.
Laugh at my jokes, or die.
I'm actually very nice, seriously – my tweets are unlocked, you'll see most of them are happy inoffensive poems about dwarves and fairies having race wars.
But don't mention marketing opportunities or ways to whiten my Followers' teeth, because i will block you before you can say "Make $$$ – ask me how!"

North Carolina lawmakers are still at an impasse over the state budget and Governor Pat McCrory told WITN Monday he isn't backing down from plans to veto the NC Senate's proposed budget, which would raise teacher's salaries by an average of 11 percent.
The governor is hopeful that a resolution is on the way, but he's holding steadfast to his position that an 11 percent raise for teachers at the expense of what he says would be laying off thousands of teacher assistants and cutting Medicaid recipients, is not the way to go about it.
Governor McCrory was in Morehead City Monday to take in the Coastal Plains League All Star Game and throw out the first pitch.
The real hard ball being played is taking place in the capital over the budget. How to pay for an increase in teacher salaries is at the center of the negotiations.
Governor McCrory says, "We're having a disagreement on whether we should reduce the number of teacher assistants and I'm strongly opposed to that and opposed to reducing Medicaid services to the elderly, the disabled."
According to NC Policy Watch, 7,000 teaching assistant jobs could be at risk.
Pitt County School District officials told us the last plan they looked at meant 118 teacher assistant jobs being cut in their school district.
Senate Leader and fellow Republican Phil Berger has criticized McCrory's statement that he would veto the senate's current plan - saying he is disappointed given that the governor's proposed budget included almost 20 million dollars in cuts to teacher assistants and significant cuts to Medicaid.
But McCrory isn't backing down from using his veto power if it comes to that.
He says, "I've got the executive authority to veto and if necessary I'll use that veto, but in the mean time, I hope we can work out an agreement."
Representatives from both Pitt County and Beaufort County Schools both said that they're kind of used to being in this sort of holding pattern, at least the last two years, in dealing with budget talks.
Pitt County says they're not feeling any great effects right now because they're still working off last year's budget.
Beaufort County says they have 70 positions right now that they don't know if they'll be able to fill as they wait on a resolution to all of this.
The governor said next he is planning to talk to Speaker of the House, Thom Tillis and Senate Leader Phil Berger, but he didn't give a timeline for when those meetings would take place.

HOPE needs help. Helping Other People Effectively (HOPE) of Lancaster aids the community through its roster of caring volunteers.
HOPE in Lancaster Inc. is a faith-based, nonprofit organization that provides short-term emergency assistance to those in crisis.
HOPE has a crisis of its own. During the summer months, volunteer help tends to drop a bit with helpers taking vacation.
At the same time, those in need, no matter the situation, need assistance.
The clients can't wait as their plight never takes time off.
Donna Hartley was pleasantly surprised when she opened the door to her office Monday morning. Hartley, executive director of Kershaw Area Resource Exchange (KARE), said there were three checks targeted for Youth Serve.
Youth Serve is a program that recruits teenagers to help repair area homes for the needy and elderly, who are unable to do the repairs themselves.
Youth Serve is a part of KARE, which provides an array of services to people in the southern portion of Lancaster County.
Lancaster County lost a true humanitarian with the recent death of Dr. Ira Adams.
Ironically, Dr. Adams died earlier this month at his Meeting Street office, where he toiled tirelessly to help his patients have a better quality of life.
Adams enjoyed his work and had a passion for helping others, whether it was in his Lancaster office or in a foreign county.
Adams often took his practice to countries such as Mexico and Guatemala, where it was common for him to work until his supplies were exhausted.
What might have been a possible negative result with the election of Greg Gregory to the S.C. Senate has become a real positive for Lancaster County.
Last spring when Gregory was elected to the state senate, Lancaster County was able to hold its long link to the coveted seat in the state Legislature.
At the same time, Gregory, with his return to the state Senate, had to yield his post on the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees.
Efforts to reduce obesity in the U.S. are making some progress, but, as a nation we continue to pack on the pounds and put our overall health at risk.
A report out last week from the Trust For America's Health and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation noted that every state except Colorado has an obesity rate of 20 percent or more.
The Lancaster County Council of the Arts has seen a lot of changes lately.
Last month, executive director Sam Courtney, who led the council for the past six years, announced that he was resigning. This month, Debbie Jaillette stepped into the executive director's role.
The Arts Council, located in the old Springs House on Gay Street, promotes the arts in Lancaster County by providing educational opportunities for students and various programming for the general public, among other services.
Imagine looking out the window of your home and watching a drug transaction in your front yard. Imagine standing helplessly by as neighborhood thugs laugh and take your furniture from your porch. Imagine an elderly widow cowering in her living room as teens pummel her house with rocks and mock her.
You don't have to imagine these scenes. They're real. They happen almost every day in certain areas of the county, specifically the city of Lancaster.
During the final week of June in the Palmetto State, the health of a large majority of state residents was likely greatly impacted.
For sure there was sleep deprivation, not to mention some rising stress levels and skipping heartbeats.
S.C. Sen. John Courson (R-Richland County), who noted he takes blood pressure medication, said another night might likely had done him in. He added quite likely the next day would have brought a vacant senate seat in the state legislature.
We really don't need the temperature, heat index and ozone forecast to tell us it's hot. All we have to do is step outside and get slapped with heat and humidity.
Weather forecasters could just hit rewind each morning for the next couple of months. But that is to be expected because it is summer – the time of the year that allows us to do so much of what we love to do outdoors – play ball, swim, camp, cook out and much, much more.
The United States of America will celebrate its 235th birthday on the Fourth of July. And since Independence Day falls on a Monday this year, most of us will have a long weekend to enjoy the federal holiday.
The midsummer holiday commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring America's independence from Great Britain.
It is a day of celebration, from the backyard to the pool, river or beach. Popular forms of celebration and observance include picnics, parades, cookouts, concerts, baseball games and family reunions.

Bluffton Town Council will hear a presentation Tuesday for donated playground equipment at DuBois Park, a project that recently hit a snag with the denial of a $155,000 grant request.
The Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce's leadership training program approached the town recently with an offer to donate playground equipment, according to a memo from James Ayers, director of engineering. The chamber's Leadership Class selects a group project for community improvement every year, Ayers writes.
The $285,000 project to add a pavilion with a public restroom and new playground equipment depends on $195,000 in grants to supplement town money put aside in this fiscal year's budget, and the National Scenic Byways Program denied a request for $155,000. The other $40,000 in grant funding also needs to be identified.
The 1.25-acre lot on Boundary Street between Lawrence and Lawton streets was deeded to the town in 1940 under the condition that it remain open for civic use and keep the name DuBois Park. A $146,000 upgrade that included landscaping, lighting and the installation of benches and a rain garden wrapped up in April.
Plans to improve the space date back to Bluffton's Old Town Master Plan and call for the eventual demolition of the former Old Town library, which is now used by the Society of Bluffton Artists as a teaching space. The group is building an 832-square-foot attachment to its gallery at the corner of Calhoun Street and Church Street to replace the teaching space and add storage space.
Town Council and Mayor Lisa Sulka have indicated accommodations tax money could be used to help fill the funding gap.
The chamber group will share ideas at Tuesday's meeting, when town staff will also review options for the project, which Town Manager Anthony Barrett said he'd like to be completed within the next 18 months.
The meeting takes place at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Town Hall at 20 Bridge Street.

General Tso's Chicken is a favourite Chinese take out dish that you can make even better at home & with less fat than the deep fried version. One of our TOP TEN recipes ever.
Low Fat Baked General Tso's Chicken – a favorite Chinese take out dish that you can make even better at home and with less fat than the deep fried version. This recipe has received many great reviews from readers who have tried it.
The real secret to this General Tso's Chicken sauce is getting the caramel base correct, once you master that the rest is a breeze. I have had many readers tell me over the years that this recipe is better than any restaurant version they've ever tried.
Here's a short video which shows what the caramel should look like before you add the rest of the ingredients. You can see why it is so important to do this with care, because the caramel is so very hot and the addition of the other ingredients causes a big release of steam. This all calms down rather quickly but take care not to cause a burn.

- 2 -3 pounds boneless chicken thighs or breasts cut in strips
- 1 egg + 2 tbsp water whisked together to make an egg wash
- 1 cup flour
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper cayenne pepper
- 3 tbsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar white wine vinegar is fine in a pinch
- ¼ cup water water
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seed oil
- 2 tbsp hot chilli paste or sauce use more or less to taste if you don't like it very hot
- ½ tsp salt salt
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 3 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Combine the 1 cup flour, ½ tsp black pepper, ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, 3 tbsp ground ginger, 2 tsp salt.
Dip the chicken pieces in the egg wash then dredge them in the flour mixture.
Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and lightly drizzle or the tops with a little more olive oil.
Bake at 375 degrees F for about 25-3o minutes. Flip the pieces at half way through the cooking time.
While the chicken is baking, prepare your sauce. Don't walk away from this sauce; it gets very hot when making the caramel base and can burn easily so pay careful attention while cooking it.
In a small bowl, mix together the 4 tbsp soya sauce, 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar, ¼ cup water, 2 tbsp toasted sesame seed oil, 2 tbsp hot chilli paste or sauce, ½ tsp salt, 2 tsp corn starch, 3 cloves minced garlic and 3 tbsp freshly grated ginger. Set this mixture aside.
In a medium saucepan boil together the 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water.
Boil this over medium heat, watching constantly until the caramel starts to turn a light amber color and you can begin to smell the caramel. When it reaches this stage, give the other ingredients in the bowl a quick stir to make sure the corn starch is dissolved then add it all at once to the hot caramel. (Careful: This mixture is very hot!)
Be careful at this stage because this sauce can foam up considerably for a few seconds and it is very hot. Simmer for only few minutes and remove from the heat and allow to cool down slightly.
Toss the sauce with the cooked chicken pieces and serve over plain steamed rice or Chinese noodles.

Leisure Travel with Kerala Backwaters
The backwaters of Kerala are unique and unlike anything in the world. The backwaters are a network of canals, lakes, deltas and estuaries of 44 rivers that drain into the Arabian Sea. These backwaters make their way through a number of towns and cities and so one can get to see the village lifestyle.
I had a keen desire to tour along the backwaters of Kerala amidst the greenery and see the rural and real life of Kerala and what more could be better than a cruising the backwaters on the houseboats. These canals connect the villages together and are still used for local transport.
Fishing villages, tribal hamlets, people carrying on with their day to day work – scenes like this are abundant. These backwaters are the main source of livelihood for the people living on the shore here. The fish caught from its waters, the paddy, coconut and other crops harvested along its banks, the boats they build and use to transport them across the backwaters are all its part.
The must see backwaters in Kerala backwater tour are:
Alappuzha- Is the major backwater destination. Kuttunad, the rice bowl of Kerala, is the centre of attraction here. This is perhaps the only place where farming is done on land below sea level. You can also step out of the boat and visit the village craftsmen while they are working.
Kumarakom- Kumarakom Backwater provides splendid views of coconut groves, mangroves and paddy fields. The highpoint of your journey will be reaching the Pathiramanal Island.
Kochi- Kochi has one of the best natural harbors in the world. All the islands here are interconnected by a network of backwaters canals and lakes. Cruising through them and viewing the Chinese fishing net, particularly during sunset, is an amazing experience.
The Kerala Backwaters are also a venue for the annual boat races that take place in the different parts of the state. If you happen to visit during July to September you can also witness as huge boats rush past each other to win the competition.

In its simplest form, iTunes is a jukebox. With it you can play your different media and organise your music into playlists. If you don't have the time or energy to sift through your entire music collection, iTunes can kindly sort it for you. With its 'smart playlists' you can select genres or albums and iTunes can automatically create the right mood without hours of picking and choosing individual songs. To accompany this, the iTunes Equaliser comes with a large range of presets from classical, to rock, to spoken word.
Setting this media player apart from its competitors, however, is its relationship with the iTunes Music Store. After registering an account you can freely browse a vast collection of music and legally download a song for £0.79 (US$0.99), or an album for £7.99 (US$10). It's a possibly addictive buying experience so if you're a trigger-happy clicker, make sure you turn off the 'One-click' buying option or you'll quickly clock up an impressive bill.
For the real music connoisseurs, there are more advanced media players out there in terms of audio control and customisation. But everything that is offered with iTunes is done so with Apple's style and grace and the result is a tool that all music lovers should have in their hands.

Close tabs right of current
by schizunio
The extension provides functionality of closing tabs that are right (or left) of current (focused) tab, that is known from Chrome browser.
It's compatible with both Opera 11 and 12.
Usage: click the extension button on the toolbar, to close all tabs that are right/left of the current tab. To choose which side will be closed (right or left) go to the preferences page and choose one option.
It's not fancy, nor sophisticated - just to work.
Known limitations:
- you can't have both (left and right) buttons - Opera extensions are limited to 1 button only
- in Opera 11 it won't work when current tab is speed dial (or any other 'special' tab, because of Opera extension API - they can't be accessed); also, it won't close those kind of tabs
After installing, restart your browser (so it would work with tabs opened before installing).
About other things:
- no, I can't do a right-click (context) menu in the tabs, for this functionality - extensions in Opera can't do it
- no, I won't make a shortcut - it's somewhat hacking the Opera, and extensions in Opera don't allow it
- no, I won't make another version of this - because I don't understand the need for having both 'close left of' and 'close right of' buttons (can anybody present me a use case for using both?). Extension is free to modify, and you could make your own if you want.
- This extension can modify or add functionality to one or more websites.

Gief context menu :(
+1 for context menu!
need add to context menu
In fact it's not as useful as it could be.
TO close all unused tabs, you can just use right-click then close all but active.
Closing just left/right tab is not really common (except for popup perhaps, but as there is anti-popup ext...).
Awesome! When I look for something in google, I usually open a billion tabs and then look for a legit one, so it's a pain closing all of them when I found what I need. Thank you soooooo much!
I'm desire for right click to close tab's function.
I was waiting for something like that a long time ago,It will be perfect in the right tab context menu
Please add "Close tabs..."
+Right of current
+Left of current
to context menu
An option to hide toolbar button
Please add "Close tabs..."
+Right of current
+Left of current
to context menu
An option to hide toolbar button
Love it!
Could we please also have the option to close all tabs to the left too?

Any opinions on how high the power > dissipation in racks will go before the manufacturers throw > in the air cooling towel and start shipping them with water > connections? I think you're within a factor of 2 or so of the SANE threshold at 10KW. A rack full of 220 W Opterons is there already (~40 1U enclosures). I'd "believe" that you could double that with a clever rack design, e.g. Rackable's, but somewhere in this ballpark...it stops being sane. > If you were designing a computer room today (which I am) what would > you allow for the maximum power dissipation per rack _to_be_handled_ > by_the_room_A/C. The assumption being that in 8 years if somebody > buys a 40kW (heaven forbid) rack it will dump its heat through > a separate water cooling system. This is a tough one. For a standard rack, ballpark of 10 KW is accessible today. For a Rackable rack, I think that they can not quite double this (but this is strictly from memory -- something like 4 CPUs per U, but they use a custom power distribution which cuts power and a specially designed airflow which avoids recycling used cooling air). I don't know what bladed racks achieve in power density -- the earlier blades I looked at had throttled back CPUs but I imagine that they've cranked them up at this point (and cranked up the heat along with them). Ya pays your money and ya takes your choice. An absolute limit of 25 (or even 30) KW/rack seems more than reasonable to me, but then, I'd "just say no" to rack/serverroom designs that pack more power than I think can sanely be dissipated in any given volume. Note that I consider water cooled systems to be insane a priori for all but a small fraction of server room or cluster operations, "space" generally being cheaper than the expense associated with achieving the highest possible spatial density of heat dissipating CPUs. I mean, why stop at water? Liquid Nitrogen. Liquid Helium. If money is no option, why not? OTOH, when money matters, at some point it (usually) gets to be cheaper to just build another cluster/server room, right? rgb -- Robert G.

Recap: T. Bird
Captions: Pat Bridges
Thus far, Superpark 16 Presented by Gatorade is shaping up to be one of the best of all time. Day two started off with similar weather to day one. No wind. No clouds. Plenty of sunshine. Needless to say that without the 300-plus person registration process, the Superpark 2012 attendees got right to business.
From nine to noon, the Seven Springs features got sessioned hard. Their two jumps–one at the top and one at the bottom– went off, with twenty-plus riders hiking and hitting the seventy-footer. Once again, Hans and Nils Mindnich proved to be the standouts on the top kicker with a plethora of moves that not only kicked off the session, but kept it going until lunch. Meanwhile, the monster booter constructed by Joel Rerko and his diligent staff was being lapped by about forty riders, including, but not limited to Seth Hill, Sage Kotsenburg, Sam Hulbert, Brandon Cocard, and Brendan Gerard. While Brendan emerged as the star rider (to me, at least), that's not to take away from any of the other takers who pointed it at the behemoth. The photos from the jump may look fake, but the reality of the situation this morning can only conclude that snowboard park design and execution has hit an astronomical level.
Immediately after lunch, about twenty-five riders were hand-picked to get down on a private hip session. Said riders included Pat Moore, Garrett Warnick, Sam Taxwood, Seth Hill, Victor Simco, Blake Paul, Josh Dirksen, Robby Balharry, Ben Bogart, Forest Bailey, Dustin Craven, Ben Bilocq, Michael Gray, Austen Sweetin, Austin Hironaka, Kyle Lopiccolo, Brendan Gerard (who might have my vote for overall Superpark standout at the moment), Andrew Brewer, Hans and Nils Mindnich (who also might be current standouts), Phil Jacques and a few more. At the end of the afternoon jam, either Austen Sweetin or Dustin Craven went the highest on the hip, Sam Taxwood and Hans Mindnich almost stole the show with gigantic alley-oop front threes, while Austen Sweetin stomped some insane switch methods, but it was Garrett Warnick who walked away with the best trick (and best overall performance) when he sent an alley-oop back seven to the tranny. The crowd went wild and then piled out, except for a select few who were tapped for a sunset shoot on Seven Springs' top jump and Boreal's step-up.
As soon as the sun went down, twenty invited riders made their way to the top of the Superpark setup on the Seven Springs booter. Pat Moore, Garrett Warnick, Seth Hill, Brendan Gerard, Andreas Wiig, Scotty Vine, the brothers Mindnich, Colin Spencer, Tim Humphreys, Mitch Richmond, and more lapped the step down as the sun set over the valley in Bend. Superpark is all about sunset shoots, and the images that come from them, and needless to say, you'll see what we're talking about in the January issue of SNOWBOARDER Magazine.
There's three days of Superpark still to go, so keep checking back for all the info about Superpark 16 Presented by Gatorade live at Mt. Bachelor.

dputty123 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 51 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Our service matches up the many quality real estate projects struggling to get financing with lenders and investors. We're looking for a simple logo that utilizes the concepts of "ignition" (play on word match) and connection (putting two groups together).
The Funding Match
Logo must include the company name :The Funding Match
makea double meaning / word play on "match" in "thefundingmatch.com" byreferring to the lighting of a match. also can give some direction totaglines and colors.
colors derived from a lit match:
1. orange (flame)
2. blue (flame)
3. black (darkness to light, also lends legitimacy to a capital business--not sure why I think that)We prefer simplicity with our website, so most likely our site will have a white background and lots of white space. We don't want an overpowering logo, but it should be memorable. I think a good example is here (and our site will look similar):
Anyway,the main point is that a central focus—a lit match or whatever—providesdirection for other elements of the corporate id construction and holdsthe brand elements together, makes the brand more memorable etc. ie TheGecko in the Geico ads—a word play that annoyed me at first, but theycreated a character that stays in the mind.
- Must include company name : The Funding Match
- Simple, powerful logo built around ideas of connection and ignition (lighting a match)
- Large, full cap, complicated logo

The nicest and newest on display in Las Vegas
Bigger? Somehow it was. Better? Without question.
Each year, the Specialty Equipment Market Association, better known tothe world as SEMA, puts together a trade show for the automotive andtransportation world. Each year, somehow, it manages to get bigger thanthe year before. It uses every inch of the Las Vegas Convention Center,most of its parking lot, and spills off into the AAPEX show that runs atthe Sands Convention Center. It's a three-day event that would challengethe biggest car buff that wants to see it all.
Success comes with strategy. SEMA organizers have done a great job inkeeping displays within a section that best defines the product ondisplay. For our purposes, the aisles of the racing and performancesection that stretched the entire length of the convention center werethe main focus. We did sneak out into restoration, electronics, andother areas just to see what was going on.
There are literally miles of aisles. Some reports say if you walk everyaisle once, you walk 22 miles. You usually walk a few of them more thanonce.
The show is designed to allow the manufacturers to display their latestinnovation and their stalwart products to potential customers. No retailselling is allowed. The exchange of business cards with follow up phonecalls and e-mails become the catalyst for achieving identificationgoals. Distributorships and dealer networks become the end result asbuyers rub elbows with racers, hot rod builders, and customizers in amixture of all that is right with the automotive world. Catalogs flyfrom booths, fodder for a plane ride home for many. Numerous socialevents and seminars help fill the day for a showgoer.
This year's event received positive reviews from most as traffic washigh each day. We brought back a few scenes from the show. There will bemore to see in the May issue of Circle Track as we get to theheart of the new products seen for the first time at SEMA. For now,let's just take you into the convention center for a small sample ofwhat the eye could behold.

Facebook IPO Greeted By Critical Scrutiny
Facebook plans to set the wheels in motion next week for its hotly anticipated debut on Wall Street, laying the groundwork for what is expected to be the biggest initial public offering ever by a technology company.
The US social networking company, which claims more than 800m active users, is hoping to file details of the listing as early as Wednesday, according to one person familiar with its thinking. Another person indicated that the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will provide the first sight of Facebook's finances, was "imminent", but would not confirm the midweek target date.
While one person warned that the deadline could still slip due to unexpected problems with the company's regulatory filing or external news, the provisional date is the first indication that Facebook is close to taking the long-awaited step to becoming a public company. A share sale is expected to be launched in May and is set to raise as much as $10bn, dwarfing the $1.9bn raised by Google at its own IPO in 2004.
Expectations among some Facebook investors that a stock market listing would put a $100bn price tag on the company have faded somewhat amid recent stock market volatility and the poor performance of other internet IPOs. Facebook's shares have been changing hands in private secondary markets at levels valuing the company at about $80bn, and the company could be worth anything from $75bn-$100bn by the time it reaches Wall Street, according to the person familiar with its plans.
"This has the feel of the Google IPO, coming at a time when the rest of the world is not in the midst of a great boom, but they are," said Kevin Landis, chief investment officer of Firsthand Technology Value Fund, a publicly listed company that owns Facebook shares. "If the market looks weak when they start trading, they'll float a modest amount and wait to sell more later."
Facebook's slow but deliberate move towards an IPO touched off a scramble among Wall Street banks for the privilege of leading the highly profitable and high-profile deal. Morgan Stanley was expected to be named lead underwriter and given the greatest share allocation in the sale, though a final decision had not been made late on Friday.
People familiar with the situation said Facebook was prepared to file for an IPO without listing banks. Goldman Sachs was also expected to be given a prominent role in the transaction, with other banks in supporting roles, these people said. Facebook was created in a Harvard University dorm room eight years ago, quickly growing from a social distraction for students to a utility that is reshaping the internet. Not since Google has an internet company created an online service that became such an integral part of peoples' regular internet habits and daily lives.
Mark Zuckerberg, who is due to turn 28 in May, and his early collaborators set out to reorganise the internet from a web of information to a place that reflected the social web of real life. Despite intense early scepticism in financial circles about whether social networks would ever make money, advertising has followed users and Facebook is estimated to have generated revenues anywhere from $3bn to $6bn last year.

The (belated) Daily Word in red-white-and-blue mixtape, bears and fire-free festivities
Inspired by Laurie Anderson's description of "Yankee Doodle" as a surrealist masterpiece, I whipped up this rad red-white-and-blue mixtape for 'Merica—and all y'all.
"One count of being a bear. And one count of being an accessory to being a bear."
In the interest of preventing more fire, scope local hackerspace Quelab's list of festive Fourth projects that offer all the fun of fireworks with none of the environmental risk.
If you're really hankering for fireworks (and John Michael Montgomery), check out the City's Freedom Fourth event.
Have fun, get radical and stay safe out there, y'all.

ADDISON COUNTY — April showers bring May flowers, but April is also a month during which homeowners seek to rid their yards of debris left by the winter. And Addison County fire officials are warning residents to think twice before torching any fallen branches, leaves or twigs.
Bill Sinks, president of the Addison County Firefighters' Association, noted property owners must check with their local fire warden(s) and get an official OK — in many cases, a written permit — before setting fire to their lawn debris.

Words: Sai Schandorf
A cold and rainy Saturday night in Minneapolis made the Suburban Theater's double doors look like the pearly gates, sans a scrutinizing St Peter, to shreds in desperate need of a snow fix. Despite the large, illuminated sign above the entrance that promised a big screen viewing of Monday Night Football and made no mention of snowboarding, a solid 200 of the faithful entered the temporary oasis of boardslides and beer. All were here for a double screening of Bald E-Gal productions' Tiller and Forum's Forever. Beer, along with liberally poured cocktails, became a key part of the night. Depending on who you asked, the planned start time was somewhere in the neighborhood of 6:30 or 7:30. Thanks to an overworked bar staff, no one seemed to care that the screen didn't light up until 8.
Both videos were killer, but Tiller, which was shown first, got an extra dose of love from the crowd every time one of its many Twin Cities locations popped up. The local boys from Bald E-Gal productions had to be pleased. Anywhere else in the country, Forum's Forever would have been the main show, but the audience left no doubt about what they came to see.
Anywhere else in the country, Forum's Forever would have been the main show, but the audience left no doubt about what they came to see.
In between features, a video of Peter Line explaining Forum's Chilly Dog camber was shown. For some, the image of Peter munching on a chili dog fresh off the floor combined with him saying "Chilly Daaaaaawg" in the same greasy voice used by 50's porn stars when addressing (or undressing) young talent, might have ruined the chance of eating Sonic the Hedge Hogs favorite food ever again. If not, the chili dog eating contest did. Four eager contestants raced to the bottom of three chili dogs to earn a Forum snowboard with the aforementioned technology. The shred stick went to a slender young lady who crushed the competition, claimed her prize, and then calmly found a bathroom to puke.
By the time Forever took center stage, the theater was filled with a restless, intoxicated mass. Almost two and a half hours had gone by since the doors and brown bottles first opened. Midway through the film, "after party" became the phrase of choice. The area around the Suburban World Theatre was made for after parties. A bar can be found one block in any direction from the venue's front steps and the rooftop bar at Stella's Fish Cafe soon became swarmed with beanies and baggy clothes. However, not long after arriving, an airborne piece of poultry sent Forum's Kevin Keller and half the Forum crew searching for a new bar. Who threw the chicken wing off the roof at Stella's? The world may never know, but Keller definitely took most of the heat for it and in classy show of professionalism tipped the servers big, had a few choice words with a bouncer and moved on to friendlier terrain.
A few important lessons were learned from the Minneapolis premiere of Forever and Tiller:
1) Snowboarders have a sense of time akin to a 12 step program (i.e. better late than never).
2) Chewing with your mouth closed is for losers.
3) NEVER throw food off a roof top bar in Minneapolis.
Despite a late start and power happy security at the after party, it was a damn good night. The bottom line is, if you're into a thing called snowboarding and like to ride rails, park, or powder, these two videos will satisfy your craving, with or without a plateful of chili dogs.

Becchio close to Canaries move
Leeds striker Luciano Becchio has passed a medical at Norwich and is expected to complete his move to the Barclays Premier League club in the next few hours.
Becchio handed in a transfer request at Leeds last week after talks over a new deal for the Argentinian faltered.
Press Association Sport understands the 29-year-old, who has scored 19 goals for Leeds this season, successfully underwent a medical at the Norfolk club this morning and will sign for Chris Hughton's side this afternoon.
It is understood Norwich will announce the deal at around 1pm this afternoon.
Becchio joined Leeds from Merida in 2008 and helped the Yorkshire club gain promotion to the npower Championship the following campaign.
He went on to score 39 goals in the second tier of English football over the next two years, alerting a number of Premier League clubs to his talents in the process.
The Canaries have been on the look-out for a striker all month to help them in their bid to avoid a slump in form which has seen them drop to within seven points of the relegation zone.
The Norfolk club, who have had three bids for Celtic striker Gary Hooper rejected, have only scored 25 league goals in 24 matches so far this term.
Norwich last night confirmed that they had signed striker Kei Kamara on loan from Sporting Kansas City, subject to him receiving a work permit.
The Sierra Leone international tweeted today: "Am so excited for this opportunity to play for @NorwichCityFC. i cant wait to get out there, see everyone and feel the energy @ Carrow Road."

One of our primary concerns is the health and safety of students while abroad. Studying abroad is neither safer nor more dangerous than studying within the U.S. The same acts In the English Landscape Maymesterthat happen abroad can happen in the U.S. While every effort is made to ensure safety, Purdue cannot guarantee the safety of the participants or eliminate all the risk that is involved. Purdue cannot prevent students from engaging in illegal, dangerous, unwise activities or monitor or control all the daily personal decisions, choices and activities of each participant. Most of the student's safety depends on their level of maturity, the decisions that are made, and responsibility. IPIA provides a required orientation for students to learn about the health and safety precautions that should be taken. The best way students can prepare for a healthy and safe study abroad experience is to inform themselves about basic information before leaving. Here are some resources about health and safety overseas:
Although immunizations are not required for most programs, every study abroad participant should discuss overseas travel immunization recommendations with their personal physician. The national Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends polio, tetanus and diphtheria boosters. It is recommended to have dental, eye and physical check-ups before going abroad. The Purdue Student Health Center provides exams, inoculations, and prescriptions. A medical information form that is handed out at orientation must be completed and submitted to IPIA.
Bring any necessary medications and keep them in the original, labeled containers. Take the amount of prescription needed while abroad. Make sure all medications are in a carry-on. If wearing glasses or contact lens, it would be wise to take the lens prescription as well as an extra pair of glasses or lenses.
While the drinking age may be lower, the laws more lenient, or the cost cheaper in the host country than in the States, it is important to remember the risks involved. Even in countries where social drinking is the norm on a daily basis, it is never safe or acceptable to "binge" drink. Remember the defenses are down when drinking.
Sexual Harassment can be defined as any unwanted sexual advances from anyone with power over any aspect during the overseas experience. Sometimes it is difficult to evaluate whether or not students have been harassed or if it is a matter of cultural differences. For example, Americans sometimes react with discomfort to the normal conversational distance between people in a culture they are exploring, and they should be aware of their feelings within that context. However, no one, male or female, studying abroad should have to suffer from unwelcome sexual pressure.
All study abroad participants are automatically insured through Gallagher Koster, a Purdue group medical insurance policy. Dustin Potts studying abroad
The cost for this insurance is included in the program fee. A description of medical benefits is in the orientation packet.
In the event a covered loss occurs or a student receives medical treatment, submit an itemized bill, which has been translated into English, along with the amount paid (in US dollars) to the claims company listed below. Keep a copy of the information that is submitted.

Vikings G.M. Rick Spielman repeatedly has said that the team has "no intent" to trade receiver Percy Harvin.
Of course, that technically doesn't mean the Vikings won't try.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Vikings are indeed attempting to move Harvin, with the Seahawks emerging as the early favorites.
Other teams are involved, and any team that gets Harvin will have to be willing to compensate the Vikings and pay a lot of money to the player.
The winner also will have to be willing to take the risk that Harvin will be a problem. But with former Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell in Seattle, Bevell may be confident that Harvin would mesh better with coach Pete Carroll than Harvin did with former Vikings coach Brad Childress.
The potential move suggests that the Seahawks are contemplating an all-in approach aimed at disrupting the looming 49ers dynasty before it can get off the ground. If the Seahawks can get Harvin — and if they can get the most out of him on the field — the dynasty could be unfolding in Seattle instead.
If the deal happens, Harvin would be continuing his NFL career in the place where his Vikings career will have ended, in a game against the Seahawks that included a sprained ankle and shouts directed at head coach Leslie Frazier.

THE BIG BRAIN THEORY: PURE GENIUS, Hosted by Kal Penn, to Premiere Wednesday, May 1 at 10 PM E/P on Discovery Channel
(Los Angeles, Calif.) – Who will become America's next great innovator? Discovery's THE BIG BRAIN THEORY: PURE GENIUS is looking for the next great technological mind that could change the future. The eight-week series premieres Wednesday, May 1 at 10 PM E/P on Discovery Channel.
"The series features some of the greatest young minds in America. There is a lot at stake within the show itself, and in terms of what it signifies," said Host Kal Penn, who starred in the hit film franchise "Harold & Kumar" and worked on outreach to young Americans in the White House. "I love education and science. It's awesome to be part of such an exciting new series for Discovery Channel that celebrates all the amazing things our generation can do through creative thinking, the arts and STEM – science, technology, engineering and math."
While there are countless shows searching for the next great singer, dancer and chef, there is nothing quite like this on television. Each week, THE BIG BRAIN THEORY: PURE GENIUS presents a seemingly impossible engineering challenge to the 10 contestants.
In the first episode, contestants must develop a solution to stop a set of explosives from detonating. But here is the catch: the explosives are strapped to the back of two pick-up trucks heading in a high-speed, head-on collision. With just 30 minutes on the clock, competitors must come up with a proposed solution to complete the challenge. The expert panel of judges will then determine the two strongest engineering concepts based on logic and design. The two competitors with the best plans will become captains and select a team to execute their visions in only three days. Can the captains convince the others to pull it off? Will the concept actually work – or does it just look good on paper?
The team that successfully completes the challenge remains safe, but the losers will face the judges, who determine which contestant will be eliminated.
Other challenges this season include: Creating a machine that can cook and arrange a meal for a group of famished tourists near the Santa Monica Pier; building a portable bunker that can be deployed in five minutes and that is able to withstand fire, pressurized water and high-speed winds from a jet engine; and constructing a robot capable of competing in three different athletic events.
"We are incredibly excited about this series and how it combines the drama of a competition show with world of science, technology and engineering. We hope that it not only entertains our viewers, but inspires young people to get more involved," said Nancy Daniels, executive vice president of production and development for Discovery Channel.
"Creating a competition series that brings together both an educational opportunity and remarkable inventions by 'regular' people was something we've wanted to do for a long time. Teaming with Mark Fuller, the leader of his industry, created the perfect partnership to make this happen," said Craig Piligian, series executive producer.
"What you'll see in this competition is true innovation under hyper-real world conditions: extremely demanding challenges, limited resources and limited time," said Mark Fuller, series judge and CEO of WET. "The pressure that the contestants face plays out on camera with some who skyrocket with ideas, leadership and invention — and others who do a full phase meltdown under the intense pressure."
The contestants have varied backgrounds and levels of experience, but they all have one thing in common — the desire to win. The cameras capture the tension and pressure in the design workshop, as well as in the living quarters where all the competitors must deal with each other's egos and eccentricities.
The winner of the competition will earn $50,000 and a one-year contract to work at WET, the industry leader behind some of the world's most innovative water-based designed environments and experiences including the nine-acre choreographed lake of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.
THE BIG BRAIN THEORY: PURE GENIUS is produced by Pilgrim Studios for Discovery with Pilgrim's Craig Piligian, Ralph Wikke, and Mitch Rosa and WET CEO Mark Fuller serving as executive producers. Kal Penn also serves as a producer for the series. Craig Coffman serves as executive producer for Discovery.

We also sent the Flyers a 4th rd pick and a conditional pick, while the Flyers retain some of Streit's current contract that expires at the end of this season.
This was cap move by StevieY looking ahead to this offseason where we have Drouin, Palat, Johnson and Sustr all restricted FA. This opens more cap for us to use on locking up our own.
Sucks to see Bish, Boyle, and Filpulla all go within days of one another, but this team is loaded with young talent in a league w/ a hard cap. So it's smart business for the future.
This is why Stevie Y is being called "The Ninja". And it's no coincidence that the Lightning were chosen as the best franchise in professional sports.
Not only did he unload a player that we would be FORCED to protect in the expansion draft...he did it by (essentially) giving up a 7th round draft pick. He also unloads a 5 mil salary that frees up space to re-sign Johnson/Drouin/Palat. Look at who the pundits are considering "winners" at the trade deadline. The Bolts are there. The gem in the Filpulla deal is that it frees us to protect ANOTHER player from the expansion draft.
Last summer, NOBODY thought we had a chance at keeping Stammer and Hedman AND having a snowball's chance in hell of re-signing those 3. We still may not be able to...but it looks better every day.
Don't be shocked if he finds a way to get Vegas to take Garrison (plus draft picks)...freeing up another 4.5 mil.
Again...this franchise knows WTF it's doing. And they do it better than anyone.
