Mario11779 had een nieuw logo ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit98 ontwerpen ingezonden door47 freelance designers.
We are opening up a new concept of homestyle quality food delivered or picked up with the convienience of a sit in dining area. Our quality of food is 2 steps up from Applebees but a step down from a gourmet restaurant. Our niche is large portions of Italian and American comfort food at a relatively affordable price.
Good To Go
Some initial ideas include using a steam tray (having the words GOOD To Go sitting in it?), a paper plate, having the words as part of a hanging sign or shadowbox like a neon sign would be in, or anything else that you can think of that fits in with the concept of appealing to average blue collar Americans. Our target market is the busy family or young professional who doesn't have time to or doesn't choose to cook a home cooked meal every day of the week. Red/maroon and blue are good colors as well as warm earth tones in the brown and tan family. The logo should have some flair as our competion is Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Applebees, Outback Take Out, chinese food, or other local take out places.

Liberty Inn
America's most impressive historic survivors just may be our taverns—because they've had to do it all on their own, by offering you exactly the same kind of comfort they did your great-grandfather
June/July 2003 | Volume 54, Issue 3
As Colonel Murdock might have done two centuries earlier, and as was common practice among tavern keepers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Wilson brews his own ale for sale and consumption at the inn, although as a concession to contemporary times he also bottles it for take-away. He brews only a handful of styles, none of them anything like our modern lagers, and he's a one-man band, devising his own recipes, brewing alone, even growing hops on the premises. Wilson's ales—and his hospitality—make his establishment home to a comradely circle of locals who instinrtively drew us into conversation, bringing the Norwich even closer to its early American roots. As we traded concerns about terrorism, bolstered one another's hopes for the sagging economy, and shared local gossip, the Norwich felt very much like a twenty-first-century version of the sort of colonial tavern that once spawned governments.
Indeed, the beer itself connects the Norwich Inn to both the earliest days of New England and our modern marketplace. Americans have long been avid consumers of beer, but in the country's early days, there were no big breweries to supply us with long necks and king cans of lager, so innkeepers were obliged to brew their own ales. In fact, it was the demand for beer from taverns that led to commercial brewing in America, which began when the Massachusetts Bay Colony licensed Capt. Robert Sedgwick as a "common brewer" in 1635.
Ingredients were limited in those early days, and equipment was crude, and Tim Wilson's porter and ale are surely a fair sight better than anything Colonel Murdock served his guests. And for all the fellowship of the old inns, today's social intercourse is undeniably more liberated. Now we are free to chat with our fellow travelers and the innkeeper—or not, as we please. In the eighteenth century New England tavern owners were obliged by law to know and report the origin, destination, and business objective of every guest. In addition, we probably would have been besieged by salesmen, for everything from real estate to geometry lessons to slaves was on offer in those early taverns. Had we been fortunate enough to find a good conversationalist, the topic of choice would likely have been politics, and only one of us would have been doing the talking, since a proper woman's behavior in taverns would have echoed her role in colonial society, as part of the private rather than the public realm.
Then again, notions of propriety are often relative and geographically determined. In earlytwentieth-century Alaska, it is unlikely that many of those who had charted this unforgiving terrain would have been much cowed by old social niceties. Legend has it that at the champagne-drenched 1913 opening of a bare boards alehouse and "unofficial brothel" in Juneau known as the Alaskan Hotel & Bar, the front door key was attached to a balloon and floated out of sight, a signal that the establishment intended never to close.
That Wild West spirit dominated the Alaskan as late as the 1970s, says the current owner, Bettye Adams. Known as Ace's Place under its then-landlord Ace Burny, this was a raffish operation that closed for just three hours a day (between 5:00 and 8:00 A.M. ) and often entertained locals with impromptu strip shows starring their friends and neighbors. "There was a certain status in getting your clothes off at Ace's," says Adams, quickly adding that she of course never participated. Although that frontier spirit has been toned down considerably under the stewardship of Adams and her husband, Mike, the Alaskan still proudly boasts the trappings of a traditional brotheltavern, from oil paintings of nudes on the walls to an ornate winding staircase that one imagines could lead to all sorts of temptations. As for the strip shows, well, locals vouchsafe that the Alaskan is still the kind of bar where anything can happen.
Like many historic taverns, the Alaskan has found its salvation in part from an unexpected quarter. The rise of American craft breweries, or microbreweries, has helped many a flea-bitten mongrel of a tavern begin life anew as a specialty beer bar. A prime example is the Rose and Raindrop in Portland, Oregon.
Built as a mortuary in 1890, the Rose has had a complicated past. Its premises have served as, among other things, a hotel, a nickelodeon, an antiques store, and a Chinese laundry. In 1997, 18 years after its last renovation, the Rose was bought by Mel Hickman. Along with his partner, Don Younger, landlord of one of the finest specialty beer bars in the country, Portland's inimitable Horse Brass Pub, Hickman turned this ancient brick structure into an endearingly rough-around-the-edges oasis of fine local ales and lagers, simple yet filling fare, and, most important, easy conversation. Today, some 80 years after ticket holders lined up to see vaudeville troupes like the Duffy Players and the Baker Players, patrons gather to talk politics, catch up on local news, monitor the comings and goings of the staff—many of whom have become fast friends—and exchange the occasional homebrew recipe, all over pints of fine craft brews like Terminal Gravity I.P.A., Deschutes Black Butte Porter, and Rogue Brutal Bitter.

FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) has announced that a new version of the site is coming soon. Here's the announcement:
The new findmypast is coming soon...
We wanted to let you know about some changes that will be happening on findmypast and how they will affect you. There will be fresh features including a new and improved family tree, easier ways to search the records and new ways to bring each of your ancestors profiles to life.
You will start to notice some changes over the next few weeks and we will continue to make improvements in the coming months. We will be on hand to offer any help you might need at every stage. You can find out more about the changes we are making and why on our Learn More page.

COMMENT: I really hope the new search system isn't a move to the same system being utilised by FindmyPast.com and the other non-UK platforms, because that is one of the most tedious systems ever invented - all that filtering makes some searches take forever to achieve the desired outcome, you spend half the search time ticking boxes. Here's hoping FindmyPast UK has seen how tedious that is and has decided to improve it, rather than just adopt it. Here's the blurb describing what they are intending to produce:
We have made some changes to the way you search the records that gives you far more control and should help deliver even more accurate results. These changes will allow you to search across selected categories of records (for example Census records and Military records at the same time) and filter based on keywords, records sets and country. You'll be able to search all censuses at once for the first time too.
One apparent benefit being proclaimed is that the site will release new records 'every month'.

Thread: "sunset" sailfin molly fry!
Hybrid View
"sunset" sailfin molly fry!
I currently have sailfin molly fry 3 days old, so that's exciting. Usually I just let them give birth in the main tank and survival of the fittest ensues, but this time we decided to try to save some so set up a temporary fry tank (stepdaughter is loving me for it, she got to put that tank in her room and she's started naming all the fry, lol). It's hard to count because they're still small and fast but I'd say we have approx. 10-12 babies. Can't wait to see how they turn out as they grow! The parents are sunset sailfins, large and really pretty. I bought the mated pair a couple months back because I haven't seen nice sailfins since the goldens I had as a kid! I will also have fry sometime soon from my red-eyed golden sailfin female and the sunset male.
If anyone lives in or near central Iowa and is interested in some when they're bigger, let me know! Otherwise I'll probably keep a couple and take the rest to my LFS. I'll post pics as they grow, and pics of the parents. Looks like some very cool coloration on some of them!
0Congratulations Acire84.
Getting your daughter involved with the fry is awesome. She may just pick up on the hobby in the future. I myself was surprised when my 18 year old son wanted to set-up a tank in his room. He had one as a youngster which he kind of neglected, this one hasn't missed a water change or filter cleaning in 7 months.
I'm a fair bit away from Iowa (but I have been there, Tecumseh), or I'd be interested in a few for my daughter.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
0Thanks Strider199 :). Glad to see your son is interested again! It was so fun making an emergency run to walmart with my daughter the other night and letting her pick out what she wanted for the fry tank, all the while hoping the hubby didn't notice how much money I spent to save a few babies, lol. She's 12, and really up to now only been interested in furry critters and mildly amused by my aquarium, and so it is very cool that I have a "fish buddy" in the house now!
I actually would ship them to you if you want some for your daughter, just let me know. I'll look into how much it costs. There's a pretty cool guy that works at my LFS that I could probably get to help me pack them for shipping correctly, I've never shipped a living thing before, lol. I'm sure he'd rather I just give them to him though as he'd sell them for $25/pair, hah! I just counted again today after work, looks like more like we have 14-15. I'll sort them male/female as soon as they're a little older and I can tell, and then I'll try to get some good pics. If not that's cool, offer's there :)

That is so my daughter. lol
Hamsters, white mouse (these really stink), and a cat which she still takes care of.
Thanks for the offer Acire84 but she's not really committed to the upkeep of a tank at this point. Something to do with High School and Face Book keep her pretty busy.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..

0Oh no the dreaded rodents, lol! I used to be ok with them until grandma gave the kids 2 baby rats a few years ago without my consent, eh hem, lol. Pretty soon we had like 14 rats because she thought they were both girls! I had to be the mean one that had to take them all to a shelter, lol, I will never forgive her for that! No problem on the mollies, actually just realized you're in Canada so that's kind of a stretch anyway! I'll find homes for them I'm sure and if not I'll just take them to the LFS :) I'd like to keep a couple for breeding but depends on whether or not I set up another tank.

text: The FBI Suspected Ray Bradbury of Being a CommunistMichael Ann Dobbs8/29/12 2:20pmFiled to: ray bradburyBooksPoliticsPolitical science (fiction)Fbi42EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The FBI file on Ray Bradbury reveals the federal government was investigating the legendary author for being a communist in the 1950s and 1960s. Advertisement Using a Freedom of Information Act Request, the Huffington Post received a copy of Bradbury's file, and it turns out the FBI checked Bradbury's passport records and staked out his house. But the FBI decided they didn't have enough information to continue their investigation, and they declined to interview Bradbury. Several informants gave the FBI Bradbury's name, including screenwriter Martin Berkeley — who helpfully explained the connection between science fiction and Communism to the FBI.According to the file: Advertisement "Informant stated that the general aim of these science fiction writers is to frighten the people into a state of paralysis or psychological incompetence bordering on hysteria which would make it very possible to conduct a Third World War in which the American people would seriously believe [sic] could not be won since their morale had been seriously destroyed."But the FBI eventually realized that even though Bradbury had been a vocal critic of McCarthyism, he also had no great sympathy with the Communists. In fact, in a 1959 appearance at a Malibu coffeehouse, Bradbury spoke about how his story "The Fireman" (which eventually became Fahrenheit 451) had been banned by the Russian government, who felt it "slandered their type of government as well as many other countries."

The concert featuring the 73-year-old classic musical star will take place two days before the final at Maracana Stadium. The show also is scheduled to include pianist Lang Lang, soprano Ana Maria Martinez, conductor Eugene Kohn and the Orquestra Sinfonica Brasileira.
Domingo has attended every World Cup final since 1970 with the exception of 1978 in Argentina. He sang the 1982 theme song in Spain, "El Mundial." He said the program next month will include classical music and Brazilian songs.
"I always think music and sport are the two great things many people can understand without any need to really speak the language," Domingo said in a telephone interview from London, where he is to conduct Puccini's "Tosca" next week at The Royal Opera. "I have friends from all around the world, and they are really fanatics of soccer and music. It's great to see many of the people I know."
Tenor Placido Domingo performs at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles on June 7, 2013. (AP) |
He joined Luciano Pavarotti and Jose Carreras at the Rome's Baths of Caracalla in 1990 to form The Three Tenors. They returned in 1994 at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, in 1998 at Paris' Champ de Mars and Eiffel Tower and in 2002 at Japan's Yokohama Arena.
Pavarotti retired from staged opera two years later and sang publicly for the last time at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Before the 2006 World Cup final, Domingo was joined by soprano Anna Netrebko and tenor Rolando Villazon for a concert at Berlin's Waldbuehne.
Domingo remains active on opera stages, increasingly in baritone rather than tenor roles, and has been general director of the Los Angeles Opera since 2003.
He wasn't invited to sing before the 2010 World Cup final in Johannesburg, when he was in the middle of a run of Verdi's "Simon Boccanegra" at Covent Garden. He traveled to South Africa for the final between performances and celebrated with players from his native Spain after it beat the Netherlands 1-0 for its first world title.
Domingo hopes Spain repeats as champion.
"I think they have as many chances as anybody else," he said. "There's Italy or Germany ― they always smell the success. They are the other two teams that have been so many times champions, and they are ready."

Topic Review (Newest First) |
colorado1979 |
need some advice Hi guys need some insight, Little bit of info been boarding for a long time. When I started the problem was in 87 when I was seven none of my sisters boyfriends would teach me so school of hard knocks learned without anyone's help. I am 5'10 205 and I ride goofy. I ride a 160 burton custom x from 2007 and a 07 never summer titan. I just love to ride no park no jumps. Sorry for the intro but recently I have been working on my carves and noticed Toeside turns I am feeling my left foot (back foot) almost sliding towards the heel side edge. Should I be focusing on drilling that Toe side edge more. Or is it my back leg getting lazy maybe anticipating the turn to heel side. Thanks in advance guys for any info. |

Sage Advice: Evaluating and recognizing carrier performance is critical for success
in the News
State of Logistics 2016: Pursue mutual benefit NWPCA's pallet design software produces certified sustainable USDA BioPreferred wood pallets ATA reports sharp decrease in Q4 truckload driver turnover rate Challenges remain in store for shippers, says FTR SCI report Florida East Coast Railway to be acquired by Grupo Mexico More NewsLogistics Management's 28th Annual Quest for Quality Award winners were announced in the August edition of Logistics Management magazine. On October 5th, Michael Levans, group editorial director for LM presented the awards to the winning companies on the last evening of CSCMP's annual meeting in Philadelphia. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all of the shippers and receivers who took the time to select the carriers and rank them based on their service performance.
Every time I read stories about recognizing carriers for overall excellence I think about carriers that I held in very high esteem, but traditionally didn't make the Quest for Quality list or other recognition lists. The reasons are numerous. Certainly the size of the carrier makes a difference, as well as what groups within the company measured the carriers. Then there are the criteria to be considered and how the scores are weighed.
This article and its rankings are not about whether the winners deserved being best in class. Rather it's about the importance of the effort that your teams should be putting into the evaluation and recognition of your carrier base. It is a well-known fact that inspection brings opportunities for improvement, and recognition is a vital impetus to excellence.
Initially, I recall doing performance reviews by myself that were focused on "service performance," as this generated the highest degree of visibility in our company. Over time, and as the "quality process" emerged, it became clear that the internal customers of the transportation process were numerous and included customer service; contract and rate departments; dispatch teams that tendered loads, handled turnbacks, expedited shipments, and rescheduled late deliveries; warehouses that loaded the trailers and needed to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel on and around the loading docks; freight payment and claims teams; and finally the transportation management team.
The challenge then became how to involve all of these teams. We needed to decide what each group wanted to measure; how it would be measured; how the parties would participate; the frequency of the reviews; where the reviews would be held; the weighting for the final score; and how this would be presented to the carriers.
Suddenly this "carrier evaluation process" appeared to be a big project, and there were questions about the overall value of doing performance reviews. Could the in-depth review be done only with quantitative measurable data? Or was there value in collecting subjective feedback that could be open to bias and personality conflicts.
In the end, all internal company teams willingly participated, some with quantifiable information and others with some simple assessments of whether or not a carrier company was helpful or a hindrance.
For example, questions were prepared to allow teams to rank carriers from 4 to 9 on how well they solved process problems, responded to information requests, and provided quality information the first time. Teams suddenly found it easier to do both quantitative and subjective evaluations and develop a numeric performance profile for the carrier at each plant and distribution center.
In subsequent articles I'll share information about what each of our groups measured and how we weighted the overall score. But, we quickly destroyed a commonly held view that a carrier that excels in one area of the country operates with the same excellence across the country. That's simply not true, and we pursued a program that rated and recognized carrier performance regionally—or by plant and distribution center—and not nationally.
The annual and public recognition of carriers and their successes must be a vital part of your carrier management program. Not only does it drive consistently exceptional performance across all functional areas, but it also sends a clear signal about your company's interest in investing in your carriers and the industry. Don't let a few budget dollars preclude measurement and recognition.

Jack White made his way to Wrigley Field on Tuesday night to watch the Cubs take on the Padres. From the looks of it, White really should have hit the head before settling into his seat. We've all been there before, and apparently he made the bad choice of trying to pinch it off for the game. That'll put a mean mug on anyone's face.
While White was having the grumpiest time, Twitter was full of laughter. Here's a roundup of the best reactions.

In the 1970s, derived categories were still quite new, and known to only a few
algebraic geometers, and so I avoided using them. In some places this worked
out quite well, for example, contrary to statements in the literature they are
not really needed for the Lefschetz trace formula with coefficients in
I also regret treating Lefschetz pencils only in the case of fiber dimension 1. Apart from using derived categories and including Lefschetz pencils with arbitrary fiber dimension, I plan to keep the book much as before, but with the statements of the main theorems updated to take account of later work. Whether the new version will ever be completed, only time will tell. |
Following is the blurb for Elliptic Curves that was on Amazon, and would still be, but for the incompetence of the people at BookSurge/CreateSpace/Amazon.
This book uses the beautiful theory of elliptic curves to introduce the reader to some of the deeper aspects of number theory. It assumes only a knowledge of the basic algebra, complex analysis, and topology usually taught in advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate courses.
Indeed, the book is affordable (in fact, the most affordable of all references on the subject), but also a high quality work and a complete introduction to the rich theory of the arithmetic of elliptic curves, with numerous examples and exercises for the reader, many interesting remarks and an updated bibliography.
Mathematical Reviews, Álvaro Lozano-Robledo
J. S. Milne's lecture notes on elliptic curves are already well-known
The book under review is a rewritten version of just these famous lecture notes from 1996, which appear here as a compact and inexpensive paperback that is now available worldwide.

Meantime has anything be done to address the often reported lack of language skills? Important across the intelligence domain.
On the 'commercial cover' as much as the USA is admired for it's openness is this really helpful? Given the known difficulties for US commerce to operate legitimately as a business in many parts of the world, is it really wise to openly declare the use of 'cover'? Bizarre.

Actually the jury is still out on this one. Amy is qualified to comment on this, but I'm surprised at her superficial assessment on the topic.
If the history books are accurate the KGB ran circles around the CIA, yet we still won the Cold War indicating that intelligence operations were not decisive. Not down playing the critical role intelligence "should" play, like preventing the attack that happened on 9/11, simply pointing out that we prevailed despite multiple intelligence failures over the years. Doesn't mean that will always be the case, especially if a terrorist manages to acquire a WMD. We need to get the problems fixed, but that doesn't mean fighting turf wars. https://www.fas.org/irp/congress/2012_cr/sasc-dcs.html Quote:

The good is that Bill points out the problems with trying to "flex" a clandestine human intelligence collection service. Similar issues have been discussed by SWC memebers with regard to keeping a large standing military or trying to grow an armed force quickly to meet a significant threat. The difference is that intelligence operations usually require a long term presence with both collection and analysis efforts to establish a baseline of normalcy, both in terms of the target's activities and in terms of the collector. A case officer cannot simply appear suddenly in some distant location and start to recruit sources that provide quality information. I am reminded of the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Marcus Brody, the bumbling museum director, is at a total loss trying to "blend in" after we have seen the following ironic exchange: Quote:
Perhaps the reason that US intelligence agencies are not as good as one might wish when it comes to HUMINT operations is related to the impatience characteristic to Americans that has been identified often in other threads on this board The bad is what I bolded in the quotation. I suspect that more often than not what are called intelligence failings are leadership failings instead. Leaders are presented with intelligence and then either make a bad decision fail to make any decison at all. The reasons for the apparent leadership failure would make for some interesting research and analysis. BTW the switch from my initial strong claim about leadership failures to the weaker claim about apparent failures is because what, from an ant's eye view of the world or a biased representation of the facts, is considered a failure may well be a triumph when viewed from the perspective of an eagle.

Increase your dating confidence using hypnosis
Learn to relax and be yourself on a date
Does candle-light and romantic music mutate you into an awkward teenager? Would you prefer to be a relaxed, confident, charming and funny adult on a date?
Let's turn on the lights and turn down the music. How do you behave when you're with an old friend, a family member, or someone else you know well. How is that different to how you feel when dating?
Do you think about meeting them for days beforehand? Probably not. Do you worry about what you are going to say? Unlikely. Do you go over and over in your mind what they might think of you? Doubt it.
The difference is you simply relax and allow yourself to be yourself, naturally and easily.
Regular relaxation calms your mind and body allowing you to be more like your 'normal' self.
Dating Confidence will help you relax when you are on a date. And once you relax, you can be yourself, you are calmer, so you can tell what the other person is like, and your calmness rubs off on them, so they enjoy your company more.
And when two people are relaxed, they can really tell if they are right for one another. Begin to really enjoy dating; download Dating Confidence below and see how much it changes your dating experience...

Hello! Welcome to the Writers and Reviewers Institute for Technical Excellence (WRITE)!
Recently, a fair number of people have come to think the group is dead because the forums are inactive and The WRITE Admins account is rarely online. This is not the case. Nearly all group happenings occur outside of the FiMFic group, from processing reviews all the way to the review's posting. So if you're looking for a review, know that we're available to give one to you right now! Click me! for instructions on how to request a review. If you'd like to know a little more about the group, feel free to read on!
~ The Administration Team
Our goal is to get together the best of the best—an elite reviewing group who can take on any level of fic from first-timers to EqD-accepted authors.
For starters, we'll take on reviewing requests, and we will seek out fics that could use some help along their way. Here's how it'll work:
Firstly, if a reviewer comes across a fic they think could use some help, they will ask the author if they would appreciate a review. Perhaps something along the lines of "Hey, I'm Xreviewer, and I represent this group. Would you like me to offer some thoughts/a review on your story/help lay out why people are disliking it?" If the author agrees, then the reviewer is free to review and leave their tag and our logo on the work. Alternatively, the author may have already asked for feedback of some sort, whether it be in the description, a comment, or somewhere. Either way, the goal is to have permission from the author before writing up a review.
Secondly, an author may come to us, and the works will be added to a group queue by an administrator. The administrator will then assign/offer the fic to a reviewer, who will have a set amount of time to accept or deny the assignment. The goal is to make sure that no requesting author has to wait more than a week at the outside for a review after asking.
After a bit of time, phase 2 will be to integrate a "mentoring" corps into the group. These will be editors who will take on an author's fic before it's posted to FiMFiction.net (likely, we'll require a GDocs copy with at least comments enabled), from first draft until the time it hits the front page. They will edit, advise, and help the author improve in any way they know how. Not every writer who requests a mentor will be accepted. Stories and ideas will be screened before they're offered to the mentors for acceptance, so they'll never get stuck with the next "Return of the changelings'" unless they really, really want it. However, like we said, this is still being worked out. We're not quite there yet.
If you have any other questions, check this thread and ask away.

If you wish to apply, check out this thread:
If you wish to request a review, check the comment below.
Approved reviewers (read: all members), check out this thread and PM Burraku your preferences.
A final point to anyone reading this: If you happen across this page, and the "Join Group" option is available, it means someone has recently been approved for entry. Since there is no option to invite people to a group, the only way to let approved applicants in is to open the group for a short time. So if you click that "Join Group" button and you have not had some written approval from an Admin(s), you will be banned. You will only be unbanned once you have successfully passed the application process.

(Other signatures are available upon request. Ask Burraku for details.)
If you wish to request a review for one of your stories, please read this comment.
Requesting a review is fairly simple. Requests are sent to this account (WRITE Admins) in the form of a PM. Use the following format in that PM (please provide links where necessary) and we'll have a review to you as soon as we are able:
Genre Tags:
Specific Reviewer Request (if any):
Other information you wish to share/specific needs:
Details and clarifications:
The Specific Reviewer Request option is for if you wish to request a specific person from our group to perform your review. Every member (check the member list to make sure; banned members still show up on the roster) here is a reviewer, so if you want anyone specific to review your story, for whatever reason, put that request there. Also, feel free to browse the Review Requests thread to look around at the reviews we've put up. If you find one you like, feel free to request that reviewer.
The Other Information section is there for you to request specific things you want out of your review. You may wish to have your reviewer focus on plot elements over grammar, for example. Specifying this will ensure that your reviewer covers it; specifying nothing will result in a review that contains only what your reviewer deems necessary to say/focus on.
