I voted for Marina and Louise.
Marina because it's nice to see the peace princess who solves all the problems character actually done right; she really can't solve anything with pacifism, she was forced into the job. And Louise because I dunno, I just like her.

I'm new to this forum my best regard. Marathon watching on gundam 00. This series is really beautiful. I like all the character and really excited to know what's going to happen to them in the next episode.
Vote for all the meister. I especially like setsuna (he went through a lot of thing) and marina (love older woman ) |

I guess Anew gets all those votes because of all the LyleXAnew shippers out there. In my opinion she is a terribly boring character, a "Mary Sue" of sorts that was only written into the show to create some boring SpyVsSpy romance. Lyle for that matter was a pretty pointless character as well, they shoudl have left the whole "Lockon" character dead when Neil died. Could have had Feld (even if she had sucked at piloting) to be the new Gundam Meister. Or they could have had Nena do it. Wang could have set Nena up and "forced" the Pteleomy crew to accept Nena -- meanwhile Nena could have been feeding Wang information. This of course could have taken an even more interesting twist once Nena found out about Ali -- and so on.
No the whole Anew and Lyle thing was just bad. And AllelujhaXMarie isn't much fun either. I never felt any chemistry between them and now that they are a couple Allelujha has even less important screentime. Setsuna still sucks as a pilot but I guess tehre will alway be people that will like the main protagonist no matter how unoriginal he is. (I still like him ) From what I understand Ribbons actually has a HUGE number of fans -- non of them seems to have found these boars though. I heard Marina had some fans -- but generally she seems to be more hated than Wang. I guess she got sympathy votes then? Which is what I guess Saji got as well? Only Character that (now) seems more hated than Saji is Andrei -- so Saji should logically have been at the bottom of this poll. I like the new Louise -- she is a bt of a righteous pompous bitch, makes her scenes fun to watch. And then there is Nena, my favorite Gundamm0 character. 80% of the reason I watch the show is because of her. (pretty pathetic) It's not really how she looks or her voice actress. (I hate many of Kugiyama's characters like Shana) I don't really know hat it is -- I guess it is the whole package? Her look, personality, voice, story -- and skill. Hell even her name. She has gotten some pretty important scenes that has actually been very important in furthering the plot. She hasn't had much interaction with other characters though and most her scenes have been extremely short so there isn't much of a chance to develop her character in the regular sense. Now 17 episodes have passes and reading the sneak previews for ep18, 19 and 20 -- what is mentioned in them doesn't hint at giving her any role at all. Now that second season slowly creeps closer to it's end I am starting to get a sneaking suspicion that Nena won't really get any long real interaction with the other characters. They might even have her be one of the few survivors and show her living an empty life alone after she has had her revenge on those that were responsible for her siblings deaths. |

-All meisters. (Alle made the Arios looked cool, spraying away both arm cannons). -Sergei... He's really the man one should look up to. -Mr Bushido! He gets all the best toys and never fails to pull off cool stunts with them. -Ali, gotta respect one of the most insane antagonist in Gundam History!

Well, Hallelujah Haptism is actually my fav meister but since he only showed up once this season thus far i cant vote for him.
1. Setsuna-reinvented himself into a leader but thats not to say i didn't liked his character last season. He still have those simple commands and principles, its just that he's less reckless about it now. I'm worried about him tho, Marina might be his downfall. In episode 17, Marina said "if only our song reached them". Why in the hell would you wanna do that, so everybody would stop and all that stuff fall to the ground? She already destroyed Setsuna's opportunity to kill Ali, she didn't get enough? Seriously, she's going to get Setsuna killed in the end.. Rant over 2. Tieria-has surprised me in the second season, turned out to be a cool character. Guess the crew really has an effect on him, far from what he was last season. The overkill attitude remains the same tho and YOU WILL BE JUDGED, just ask Bring. I like other characters but i cant go any farther than these two because the whole purpose of your fav characters will lose its value at the polls.

^why would Setsuna said he wants to listen to that song again
yeah I'm worried about Setsuna too, he took off from Neena that supposed to have info about Ptolemy whereabouts, ran into Ali but didn't fight him, Ali went out from the cockpit in mid air and Setsuna didn't shoot him, and why did he stopped from killing Ali, I don't think the lyrics have anything that said "don't kill Ali" or Marina knew Setsuna was fighting Ali durr hurr my vote Setsuna, Haro, Mr Bushido, Sergei, SoMarie and Marina Ismail Last edited by justpassingby; 2009-02-07 at 05:14. |

Objective. We evaluated the clinical and molecular epidemiology of bloodstream infections (BSIs) due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in older versus younger patients treated with vancomycin, determining the independent effect of increased age on outcomes.Design. Observational retrospective cohort study.Setting. Detroit Medical Center, level I trauma center.Patients. Adult older (65 years and older) and younger (younger than 65 years) patients with documented BSIs due to MRSA treated with vancomycin (2005–2010).Methods. Collected demographics, comorbidities, microbiology, treatment, outcomes. Multivariable model used to generate propensity score for each patient on the basis of the probability of being 65 years of age or older.Results. Three hundred twenty patients were eligible (69 patients 65 years and older; 251 patients younger than 65 years). Catheter-related infections and endocarditis were the most common sites of infection for older (20.3%) and younger (19.1%) adults, respectively. Median first total 24-hour vancomycin dose (1,000 vs 2,000 mg; ) and initial trough (13.1 vs 15.0 mg/L; ) was significantly lower in older versus younger patients. Vancomycin treatment failure rates were similar among older and younger patients (49.3% vs 53.4%; ). In multivariable analysis of outcomes, after controlling for predictors of older age, there was no difference in clinical outcomes between older and younger adults.Conclusions. After accounting for confounders associated with increased age, failure rate of patients with BSIs due to MRSA treated with vancomycin was similar between older and younger patients. Older adults were less likely to have optimal vancomycin dosing and initial trough levels than younger patients. Efforts should be made to optimize dosing of medications such as vancomycin in older adults.

Here's a (strong language) illustration of the intellectual level of the teaparties, including a possible call for revolution.
And, that's on a subject that I've covered in around 20 posts and dozens of tweets (see my posts about Arizona).
If the teaparties had cooperated with me and helped me discredit the MSM over their lies about this issue, they could have sent a strong message and encouraged better reporting. They could also have prevented what now looks like a successful disinfo campaign.
Instead, all they can do is suggest revolution.
We really are dealing with the absolute dumbest, least aware political group in the U.S. No, really: I can't think of a single group that's as dumb and unaware. - 4/29/10, 10:41 PM

I can't think of a single group that's as dumb and unaware.
As a matter of fact, I have and.. Yes I can ;) - 4/29/10, 11:24 PM
- LonewackoDotCom said...
Oh, gosh.
What Lem doesn't realize is (among many, many, many others) three things:
1. ShovelLady is socially acceptable. By that I mean that MSM reporters and politicians aren't going to be up in arms about her. If any of them find out about her, they're going to ignore her.
2. At the same time as the group that put up that video was demagoguing this issue, they were ignoring all the ways that they could use this issue to strike back at those who actually have power.
I think I've got some gravitas here, since I posted about that group being formed in 2004, after a couple years of posting about the wider issue. And, since I have literally thousands of posts about the wider issue; see for instance this list of illegal immigration-supporting groups that I cover, and note that the numbers in parens are the number of posts that involve each of those groups.
If that group - which is trying to become part of the teaparties infrastructure - were smart they'd help me discredit those who actually have power (see the AZ link in my first comment). Instead, about all they can do is demagogue and make bad decisions.
Let me expand on my earlier point: teapartiers aren't just dumb, it goes beyond that. They also have personality defects that cause them not to realize just how dumb they are, to think they're smarter than they are (by a long shot), to think they're the center of the universe, and a complete and utter unwillingness to accept even the most sugar-coated constructive criticism.
Not just dumb. Not just MegaDumb. Not just SuperMegaUberDumb. But TeapartyDumb. - 4/29/10, 11:46 PM

Sky O' Love
this wiki
PC Only Content Information on this page is PC specific. |
The goal of the challenge is to bring together pairs of the same type of enemy of opposite genders (i.e. a boy Dark Elf Archer and a girl Dark Elf Archer) while also defending both of your Eternia Crystals.
Grab your date and team up to play the Sky O' Love Challenge Mission! Become matchmaker by pairing Boy mobs with their same-species, significant Girl mob others!
But watch out... Mega Cupid isn't too happy about you doing his work for him. Grab your special someone and team-up! (2+ Heroes recommended)
The challenge mission follows the pattern of the classic boss levels, with a few waves of increasing difficulty followed by a boss fight.
The goal is to defend the two central cores, whilst seeking to unite enemies of opposite gender together on the battlefield. Enemies assigned a gender are indicated visually by either a blue top hat (boy) or a red bow tie (girl). Gender enemies are also indicated on the map overlay by blue ♂ and red ♀ symbols.
Players must rely on aggravating gender-based enemies by either directly attacking them, or coming within close melee range. Aggravated (aggroed) enemies will target the player, rather than the Eternia Crystals. This allows temporary control over an enemy's movement, enabling the player to guide gender-based enemies to their respective partners.
The challenge relies heavily on a player's defense being near self-sufficient along unattended enemy lanes, whilst the player(s) focus their attention on uniting the gender-based enemies.
Completing each wave requires a certain number of enemy "couples" to be united. During each wave, both gender and non-gender based enemies will continue to spawn infinitely. As in the Treasure Hunt challenge, items and experience are not rewarded for defeating enemies.
Boss Fight
The boss fight requires players to defeat the Mega Cupid.
Completing the challenge will also unlock the costumes from lower difficulty levels. Costumes will be unlocked for the player's account regardless of the hero class used.- Easy: Cupidette Costume (Initiate)
- Medium: Cupid Costume (Monk)
- Hard: Queen of Hearts Costume (Countess)
- Insane: Pants Costume (Squire)
- A Mythical quality Goblin Cupid pet is awarded for completing the challenge.
Eternia Crystal Skin
- A special Eternia Crystal Skin is awarded for completing the challenge on Nightmare Difficulty.
- When setting the costume for the Countess in-game, it says to complete the challenge on at least Hard to unlock the Queen Of Hearts, however players have reported to have unlocked it on Easy. As for unlocking the Initiate's costume, it says to beat the challenge on Easy.
- Utilise the overhead bridge to unite enemies of opposing gender together.
- 'Couplers' are advised to unequip any DPS pets they may have equipped, as they can - and will kill gender mobs (fairies are advisable as it allows 'couplers' to heal any damage the gender mobs would do to them.

Vegas showgirl-turned-novelist Vicki Pettersson's debut novel is sure to be an instant hit with readers who enjoy authors like Laurell K. Hamilton, Kim Harrison,and Charlaine Harris. Blending dark fantasy and hard-boiled mystery with elements of romance and apocalyptic thriller, The Scent of Shadows -- the first installment of the Signs of the Zodiac saga -- is set amid the neon-lit glitziness of Sin City and features Joanna Archer, one of the most intriguing and unfathomably deep heroines to grace the pages of a supernatural fantasy in ages.
Sexually assaulted when she was a teenager, Archer has grown into a woman marked by contradictions; she's one of the richest heiresses on the planet but she spends all of her free time roaming the back alleys of Vegas at night, photographing the city's forgotten -- the homeless, drug addicts, runaways, et al. The camera is a shield of sorts for Archer, who enjoys seeing the gaudy world around her in stark black-and-white. This dichotomy takes on new meaning when her egomaniacal dad informs her that he is not her biological father and promptly disinherits her. When her sister Olivia is brutally murdered shortly thereafter by a supernatural assassin, Joanna's world is turned upside down, and she is thrust into the middle of an ongoing spiritual war between Light and Shadow. Following in her wayward mother's footsteps, Joanna becomes the Archer, a crime-fighting member of a much-depleted troop whose mission it is to defeat their astrological opposites, the Shadow Zodiac. But Joanna is much more than she seems; and if she can survive long enough to unravel the mystery surrounding her lineage, she just might be able to shed some much needed Light into the growing darkness….
The Scent of Shadows succeeds in large part for two reasons: Pettersson's masterful ability to create realistic and emotionally compelling characters and her witty and caustic narrative voice make for not only a darkly humorous but also wildly entertaining reading experience. Paul Goat Allen

The opulent qualities of my oil paints, and surreal materials, bring dramatic ideas to life, like performers in an edge-of-your-seat show. Striking techniques and color dance and entertain the eye. These oil works offer a joyous, visual celebration from their depth and intense graphic beauty. But if you contemplate them further, there's also an abstract-narrative that belongs to you as it unfolds in your imagination.

Kentucky State Police Troopers from Post 5 responded to a fatal collision at 9:38 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 12 in Trimble County.
The investigation revealed that Patrick Moore, 27, of Sulphur, was operating a motorcycle near the 9900 block of U.S. 421 in Milton when he apparently failed to negotiate a curve, resulting in impact with a nearby guardrail. Both Moore and his passenger, Catherine Nicole Straw (27 years old from Sulphur), were thrown from the motorcycle during impact, according to a state police news release.

With a title like "Bob Funk," anything is possible, and an anything-goes manner appears to guide writer-director Craig Carlisle's patchwork comedy about a bitter, caustic and very drunk futon salesman who barely avoids self-destruction.
With a title like "Bob Funk," anything is possible, and an anything-goes manner appears to guide writer-director Craig Carlisle's patchwork comedy about a bitter, caustic and very drunk futon salesman who barely avoids self-destruction. The visible cribbing from "The Office" (the American version), "Office Space," "Bartleby," "The Sopranos" and even "The Apartment" suggests the various and conflicting comic and noncomic influences in a movie struggling to get a grip on its toxic central character. Theatrical water-cooler visit will be brief, but vid overtime should bring in coin.
So aggressively hostile to his customers that it's a wonder he wasn't fired from Funk Foam & Futon long before, Bob (Michael Leydon Campbell, for whom the pic is virtually an acting platform) is dumped by his boss — who also happens to be his mother (Grace Zabriskie, in keen, elegant form). This happens after he's learned young Ms. Thorne (Rachael Leigh Cook, directed to be as cute as possible) is possibly being groomed to replace him as sales veep in the family biz, which also includes subservient brother Ron (Eddie Jemison, who's sweaty in a funny way). After Ron urges him to reason with Mom, Bob agrees to a probationary period as a sales tracker, even as he seems to spend more time than ever in the local bar talking smack with barkeep Smiley (the always impressive Ron Canada) or trying to hit on women. It's the inevitable downward spiral for Bob, despite visits to a shrink (Terri Mann) and the friendly ear of Ms. Thorne, whose klutziness supposedly puts both lonelyhearts on an even playing field. Bob's funk stems from the bad end of an eight-year marriage, and it seems nothing less than a three-day bender, a visit to AA and a demotion by Mom all the way to janitor will stir him from his stupor. Carlisle's film is designed with a certain suburban flatness that at times perfectly reflects Bob's inner deadness, though not his periodic spurts of sarcastic rage. Production designer April Glover's interiors, along with the occasional appearances of actor Stephen Root, directly recalls the absurdly prefab feeling of "Office Space." But, indicative of the pic's confused state, several shots also indicate that it's set close to downtown Los Angeles. Emotionally, the film is just as often all over the map. This is a cast so chockfull with talent that even the arrival of Amy Ryan (whose spiky character is ironically named Ms. Wright) may hardly go noticed by some auds, though, like every actor here, she has her choice moments. Campbell has more than a few himself, but he also displays a troubling habit of showing off for the camera. Clearly made on a severe budget, "Bob Funk" usually turns cheapness into a visual virtue, though Lisa Wiegand's lensing can lapse from time to time into excessive brightness.Bob Funk

'Adikia' is a continuous twenty-six-minute track of genuine spine-tingling bizarreness. Suggesting processes in reverse, it's constructed of subtle patterns and disintegrating structure. Eerie, unsettling, challenging and mercilessly avant-garde, it's quite the most peculiar thing we've heard in some time. Constructed roughly of two halves, it's hard to discern what the instruments actually are. Could easily be a soundtrack to an obscure European post modernism film. When the strings come in it feels more comfortably melodic and in places even beautiful, peppered with sounds like fluttering wings. The 'vocals' by Todosch are like something from an entirely different universe. Dark, damaged and abstract.

Why Do Girls Text on a Date? It's so Rude!
Ronnie, 24 from Vancouver asks:
Honestly, what's the obsession with girls who text on the phone while on a date? I took a girl out with some buddies of mine to a fun bar and she stayed glued to her cell phone. Barely looked up and everyone thought she was really rude.
Hey Ronnie,
First of all, let me say she is rude for being glued to her cell phone while there's company around. There's really no excuse for that. But I think there's more to it than meets the eye.
Often, women will be use their phone when they are bored. So it begs the question of whether or not you were paying attention to her and engaging her enough. If not, she's going to look elsewhere for entertainment — and typically it will be through her 796 friends on Facebook.
If that's not the case, then it's important for you to set expectations — not just for yourself but the people around you. If you go out with her again and catch her on the phone, politely tell her, "when you're out with me, unless it's an emergency, don't glue yourself to the phone. We have friends here and you're being rude." Then, gesture for her to join you. How she responds will ultimately determine whether or not you should continue to date her.
The lesson here is to set reasonable standards and make sure the people in your life meet them or don't have them around at all. You deserve better than that.

My first love has always been writing. I love the way words can communicate your feelings, passions and emotions. But images will always be a close second. And in our creative community, images are king. Instagram has been such a powerful inspirational and motivational tool for me and those little glimpses inside the lives of my favorite artists were the basis for our newest column, A Day In The Life. Last week we got to peek inside the world of Steven Alan and this week we're getting to see what life is like on a daily basis for talented artist and woodworker, Ariele Alasko. Our entire team started following Ariele's beautiful blog a few years ago and have become obsessed with everything from her work to her home and studio. I saved up and purchased one of Ariele's amazing headboards and cutting boards for my own home and they've become some of my most prized and treasured possessions. I've so enjoyed seeing Ariele's work as much as I enjoy seeing the world through her eyes. Thanks so much to Ariele for sharing this peek inside her daily life with us. xo, grace
Click through for the full Day In The Life post with Ariele after the jump!
The view of my dining room while I eat a quick breakfast, a shelf of beach finds and an adjustable metal lamp I built from found scraps.
Jotting down a few notes for the day, with Mr.C lending his critical observations and ideas. My daily mug of choice is handmade by Josephine Noel in Brooklyn.
Starting the day off with a trip to the Prospect Park, where we can get some off leash time and fresh air. Mazie is my sweet little one year old pitull who's also my full time studio assistant. She's quite the climber.
My studio is a quick ten block commute. Here I'm beginning work on a new design for a coffee table, using plaster lath from an old house that I drove back from Buffalo, NY.
A coffee table top I finished a few weeks ago, waiting to be sanded and sealed. The colors of the wood are naturally found on the lath, white on one side and brown or black on the other.
As a lunch break we climb through the studio window and out onto the huge, walled-in roof, a perfect place for romping around and getting a bit of exercise. When its warm enough to keep the windows open, she has a staircase and ramp to go in and out on her own.
I try to carve a few spoons a week. This is the half-way point of a large scoop made from a branch of green apple wood, brought back from Maine.
This is the scoop after all the excess wood has been carved and filed away {about two hours late} ready to be sanded!
I like to have a lot of spoons in process at once. Sometimes its fun to just pick one up at random and continue working on it. These are all carved from walnut, my wood of choice.
When Mazie's not in her dog house I built for her, she's occupying our favorite chair. I'm trying to teach her to organize my desk while she's up there.
To do list for tomorrow. Good thing Home Depot is only two blocks away.
I am a big fan of Ariele's Instagram account, and I hope to buy some of her work someday. Love that you featured her! <3
this is such an amazing series! thank you for putting it together!
i simply love Ariele´s work and space!!!
This hardworking gal has the most beautiful Instagram feed; I love her work, her perpetual creative evolution and her hilarious and adorable attunement with that pup! Keep on inspiring, Ariele! This is a lovely new column, Grace and team:)
I've been following her on Instragram for awhile. I always love and feel inspired by her images. I love her work. It is so beautiful and will definitely be family heirlooms one day. I"m dying for a spoon. And cutting board. And table :)
Absolutely awesome work, and awesome is not an exaggeration here.
This post made me feel so warm and inspired. I love Ariele and am so humbled by her energy and talents! Thank you for sharing such an intimate and lovely post on her.
Love this!! I've been following her on instagram for a while now and am a big fan of her work. Saving for a piece, slowly and slowly. Super talented lady and could her pets be any more adorable??
Ariel Mazie is the CUTEST! I love the picture of her running on your studio rooftop.
gosh she is one of my favourite instagram follows, her work is absolutely AMAZING!!
Ariele is fantastic :) what a lovely post!
Beautiful pieces!
I think Ariele is incredibly talented and energetic. I also know she's special because she's my niece! I hope to get to see her someday so I can convince her to make a piece for the home we resurrected from an old auction barn. We seem to have pretty similar tastes I think. and I really enjoy seeing her creations.
I hope to convince her to create a piece for our "barn". Best wishes and love from your uncle.
I discovered Ariel only recently while searching for some diy palettes projects and I fell in love with every single piece I saw on her website. Isn't it a rule, that once you fall for something you get to see it every where you go? Well this "A Day in the Life" post just proves it (: Thanks
'Love your style!
"I now make certain assumptions about people who own pit bulls, too. I assume they are independent thinkers, they have transcended a long-standing prejudice, and, more important, they know a damn good dog when they see one." -Bronwen Dickey, Garden and Gun -
Ariele is SUCH a rock star! Love her beautiful creations; and I'm so pleased, each time I see her highlighted on D*S.
Yeah, Ariele! My name buddy with the never-ending creative energy–never "Should I?" "Can I?" Wood, leather, textiles…the girl just DOES. My coffee table is my first "grown up" piece of furniture and I couldn't be more proud to patronize her crazy talent. Imitators can't come close.
Wow, thanks for featuring Ariele, D*S! I think I just spent an hour looking through her blog and past work– seriously gorgeous! I'm gonna have to save up, too, and own a piece of her work someday.
This is… amazing. I love A Day in the Life Of.
Ariele is such an inspiration to me, as I am also a lady woodworker, based in Ottawa, Canada. It is really amazing to have watched her transition from working in her home, as I do, into a beautiful full time studio practice, as I hope to soon!
Thank you for sharing her amazing life and work with your readers, I always refer to her work and the work of all the other awesome women living the dream on D*S.
gorgeous work & gorgeous spaces
What about 2 chairs and a tea table of that beautiful walnut of you?
Greetings Romke.

Verdict: Weezer man's solo stuff should come with a free four-track
Weezer have always been a pretty slick rock act so to hear their eccentric frontman at his rawest is a rare treat. Rivers Cuomo made several demos long before he'd made it big with his bandmates, and this is their brave unveiling.
Even in 1992, Cuomo was experimenting with moods, textures and effects, as evident on the haunting The World We Love So Much.
Others are cast-offs from an unfinished space-rock concept album, Songs from the Black Hole, such as Dude, We're Finally Landing, an amusing barbershop confection.
To say this is rough'n'ready is an understatement, as much of it is Cuomo getting used to the technicalities of his equipment. But the jagged rhythms, occasionally out-of-tune vocals and distorted recording make this creative blueprint of his career an endearing listen.
Hearing Buddy Holly in its crudest form, complete with ooeyooeyoo effects is evidence that Cuomo's songwriting talent was flourishing way before the band got a major record contract.
Perhaps most impressive of all is his cover of Ice Cube's The Bomb.
It's not exactly radio fare but any songwriter looking for inspiration from a one-man band with a number-8-wire mentality will find it here.

Jeff Childers needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 370 designs submitted by 110 freelance designers.
Brand new law firm. We intend to grow into full-service firm.
Name: ChildersLaw, LLC (currently, our printed logo features the "Law" portion of the name in reverse type with dark blue background, use of light-blue-greys and lower case for "llc" "phone" "fax" "url" etc).
Our key characteristics: Smart (as in intelligent); Open and Accessible; Trustworthy and Diligent. We make sure that everything we produce is perfect *and great looking* before we file it or send it out. We compete on quality of service and not price.
Featured Areas of Law (at present): For individuals: * Complex Individual Bankruptcy * Personal Injury / Defamation * Civil Litigation. For business: * Software Law * Business Bankruptcy * Contracts
We intend to compete against entrenched competitors who've been around for a long time. Therefore, we may need imagery that conveys solidity and establishment. We're smarter, faster, better. We use tech a LOT better than these older, slower competitors do, so we are more nimble and efficient. We do online research better than anyone. So, we want to convey our "high tech" focus.
Both individuals and business customers. For our personal bankruptcy practice, we are specializing in helping high net-worth individuals with complex needs (i.e. *not* a cookie-cutter service).
This project would have been for a full image/stationery/business card package except this site's guidelines appear to prohibit all of that in a single contest. But keep it in mind as you design our logo; we'll want to carry the design forward very quickly in a phase II for stationery and our web page.
We have a nice color laser and would like to print some stationery (not least because our Orlando office address is not fixed yet).
Deliverable: please provide the vector art plus jpg's in three sizes / resolutions for use in-office. Also a black and white version.
Please no cliche clip-art (scales of justice etc).
Colors: I like blues and greens, but feel free to be creative outside these colors. We will prefer a provider who can offer us a thoughtful color scheme that can be carried forward to our image package, website, and future materials we may develop.
I'm looking for a design that will cause folks who look at it to be thinking about us later that day.
I tend to subscribe to the theory that a business card should provoke a comment.
UPDATE: Here's a site with a large number of sample designs that may provide inspiration. Under no circumstances should you copy any design you find here. Link: http://www.scorpiondesign.com/Our_Portfolio.aspx
UPDATE 2: In general, I'm not a fan of the separate logo + firm name. I think that I'd prefer to see the visual elements tied together with the text. However I'm not ruling anything out - I will consider all designs unless otherwise explicitly stated.

UberEATS and Takeout - 780-705-1777
We love noodles – all kinds of noodles in fact. But ramen is something so many of us grew up with in one form or another. From the instant variety we found in school, to the hand made craft noodles found in shops across Japan and now North America. It's simple, but it's complex. The broth has depth, the noodles are springy, and the flavours change from region to region. Ramen makes people happy – it's pretty hard to be miserable after having a great bowl of noodles!
Prairie Noodle Shop makes prairie inspired ramen, and our focus is to serve quality ingredients, locally sourced proteins, and innovative flavour profiles that respect the origins of the dish. Ramen is traditionally a regional cuisine influenced by wherever that particular ramen comes from and that's what we create.
Asian noodles inspired by prairie flavours.
We love noodles, and our mission is to make ramen that reflects our unique geography. Our ramen gives you a taste of our region's flavours, from hearty meat and potatoes to smokey prairie pork.
All of our proteins are sourced locally from independent, high-quality producers. This includes our vegetarian bowl as well (who doesn't like smoked gouda?).
We love our community and we have made it a priority to be an active part of it. Let's just say that the one day the restaurant isn't officially open is probably going to be one of our busiest days!

Our main areas of focus are:
- Physics and Gender
- Physics and Ethnicity
- Physics and Disability
- Physics and Socioeconomic status
The programme is overseen by the Diversity and Inclusion Committee and guided by the Diversity Programme Strategy 2011-15.
Our current initiatives include Project Juno to address employment equality in university physics departments; a pilot project aimed at minimising the impact of stereotypes on secondary school students' aspirations in physics; research into the physics PhD experience aiming to improve the support and training provided; and a biennial lecture in honour of Elizabeth Johnson MBE.
The Institute of Physics is a core member of the STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine) Disability Advisory Committee, a collaborative group of professional bodies and learned societies working together to speak with a clear, authoritative voice on the inclusion of disabled people in STEMM education and employment.

New to The Lacrosse Shop! We honor this great game we all have the privilege of playing by bringing you Lacrosse: The Ancient Game, a lacrosse history book by Jim Calder.
A couple of months ago, Jeff had the pleasure of interviewing the author, Jim Calder, to learn more about this book. When we discovered how educational the book was and had a chance to read it for ourselves, we knew it was important to add to our store. Every lacrosse player should know the history of the sport that they are playing. We should all understand the purpose of the game and WHY our ancestors played it.
The book is divided into three parts: The Oral Tradition, Beyond the Native American Experience, and The Artist of the Game. Each part dives into the great history of our sport, exploring the game's cultural, historical and spiritual roots. The book is filled with historic paintings and illustrations of the originators of the game playing lacrosse.
As Gary Gait says in the Foreward, "This book is a must-have for the true lacrosse enthusiast who wants to understand the history of the game and its incredible origins."
You can get your hardcover copy of Lacrosse: The Ancient Game in The Lacrosse Shop.

When a mast cell is injured, it releases strong chemicals, including histamine, into the tissues and blood. These chemicals are very irritating and cause itching, swelling, and fluid leaking from cells. They can also cause muscle spasm, leading to lung and throat tightening (as is found in asthma) and loss of voice.

Five reasons Congress should act now to stop Taxmageddon
posted at 4:45 pm on May 18, 2012 by Rob Bluey
Americans are facing an unprecedented $494 billion tax hike on Jan. 1, 2013. It's been dubbed "Taxmageddon" given the economic devastation it would cause.
Conventional wisdom suggests lawmakers in Washington will wait until the 11th hour to come up with a solution. Fortunately, Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced this week he won't wait for a lame-duck session of Congress. From his speech to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation's 2012 Fiscal Summit:
Tax hikes destroy jobs – especially an increase on the magnitude set for January 1st. Small businesses need to plan. We shouldn't wait until New Year's Eve to give American job creators the confidence that they aren't going to get hit with a tax hike on New Year's Day. Any sudden tax hike would hurt our economy, so this fall – before the election – the House of Representatives will vote to stop the largest tax increase in American history.
The bulk of Taxmageddon comes from expiration of the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts, but also means the child tax credit will be cut in half, the Alternative Minimum Tax patches end, the Death Tax returns to its 2001 level, and a handful of new Obamacare tax hikes take effect.
Here's the outlook under different policy scenarios:
If this isn't enough to scare you, then the prospect of waiting until after the November election should be. Here are five good reasons from Heritage's J.D. Foster why Congress should act now:
- Families and small businesses should not be threatened by their own government with a devastating tax hike.
- A massive tax hike would obviously devastate the economy in 2013 and beyond, but the uncertainty about how, when, and even whether Congress will prevent Taxmageddon is already adding to the large cloud of uncertainties hanging over the economy, threatening to slow job growth even further.
- Congress has no excuse for threatening families and the economy with this tax hike with the entire summer legislative schedule wide open for business.
- Many Members of Congress of both parties agree with President Obama on the need for fundamental tax reform. Allowing Taxmageddon to go into effect would raise tax rates while increasing the tax on saving and investment—the opposite of tax reform's results. Even though positive reforms are extremely unlikely in 2012, Congress can prevent a severe case of sound policy backsliding and create more opportunities for exploring positive options for tax reform in the balance of the year by preventing Taxmageddon quickly.
- Elections are referendums on past decisions and on the future direction of the country. Voters should be able to judge performance of their Members on more than just vague assurances. Those favoring raising taxes should have the opportunity to vote their beliefs while challengers announce their fidelity to higher taxes, and likewise for those favoring low taxes and limited government. Citizens can vote their beliefs based on solid information.
Conservatives should applaud Boehner for seeking a solution sooner rather than later. But without action from the do-nothing Senate, there's little hope of stopping this enormous and unprecedented tax increase before November.

By Richelle Mead
August 23, 2011
Razorbill, 432 pages
When alchemist Sydney is ordered into hiding to protect the life of Moroi princess Jill Dragomir, the last place she expects to be sent is a human private school in Palm Springs, California. But at their new school, the drama is only just beginning.
Populated with new faces as well as familiar ones, Bloodlines explores all the friendship, romance, battles and betrayals that made the #1 New York Times bestselling Vampire Academy series so addictive – this time in a part-vampire, part-human setting where the stakes are even higher and everyone's out for blood.
— Amazon.com description
My Totally Spoiler-Free List of 5 Things You Should Know About Bloodlines, the Vampire Academy Spinoff:
1. Sydney rocks as a main character.
She doesn't have the tough-girl, devil-may-care attitude of Rose in the VA books, but then again, who does? Sydney proves herself to be tenacious, spunky and — best of all — someone we can all relate to.
2. Loose ends from Vampire Academy will be tied up.
Though I loved how the VA series ended, there were a lot of minor characters with outstanding issues. Luckily, these familiar faces are back! It was such a treat to get to know them better and see some character growth.
3. I have seen the light on the Adrian issue.
I'll leave it at that.*
4. Richelle Mead continues to bring it when it comes to solid plots.
She leaves little breadcrumb clues throughout her books and ties them all up splendidly in a brilliant climax. But, somehow, you're still begging for more at the conclusion. And, speaking of the conclusion…
5. When I got to the final line of the book, I started pumping my fist in the air.
If you're not excited yet, I've failed you. This book was a wonderful start to a new series, yet still stays true to all the things you loved about the original books. Don't know much about Vampire Academy? Oh, my my my. Well, check this out:
*No, this does not mean my Dimitri love has diminished.
Many thanks to Penguin for my review copy of this book. And to Richelle for signing it.
Actual conversation at this moment… Me: "I'm Anna and I love you and I made that stick figure thing for you." Richelle: "Oh I loved that!" (AHHHH!) |
I am so unbelieveably excited to read Bloodlines. I actually just won a signed set of VA books (ohmygoodness).
So happy to hear that Sydeny rocks as a main character. I loved her in VA, but wasn't too sure how she'd be in a series of her own.
I can't wait to read this!! I didn't even see what the big deal about Adrian was until I re-read VA and now, yes, my Dimitri-love has relinquished. So glad I get to read more about Adrian in Bloodlines.
I am literaly dying to get a copy of Bloodlines! I can't wait to read I'm so jealous you read it …it sounds so awesomely great! 😀
I haven't read the series yet, but I did check it out from my library for the summer. Your review will make me work harder to get to it. Awesome stick figures. LOVED IT!!!
I remember those stick figures! I want to read this just for Adrian…is that okay?! haha.
Alright you sold me. I will be reading this book (once I finish VA series, aaahhh). And I am so glad I pimped your stick figure video with Richelle's twitter handle b/c then the world may have never known your creativity & genius like I get to witness on a daily basis 🙂 haha
Glad that Adrian becomes better. I didn't really like him for Rose – and when I met Richelle at BEA, she asked me if I liked him. I was tongue-tied because I didn't want to say no…but. I think she thought I was a little strange. 🙂 So looking forward to reading it.
I liked Bloodlines but wished there was more kissing/sexytimes.
I've gotta start reading this already!
But April has already prepared me for lack of sexytimes 😛
I told you Adrian was hot stuff 😉
We'll have to chat when I finish reading it!
Okay "HOT STUFF" is a little much. More like…I can appreciate Adrian. And I have hope for Adrian. But Adrian and Rose? No way. Nice try though, Lindsi!
I'm always a little bit jealous of the wonderful books you get early, but I'm in full-on big green jealous monster mode about Bloodlines. I LOOOVE the VA series and am anxiously awaiting this release. I agree with you about Adrian. No matter how much I may adore his character, he will NEVER be Dimitri. Yummmm. 🙂
I can't wait! I'll be preordering soon-ish.
I can't wait to read this! I loved the Vampire Academy series and I can't wait for this. (Just said that but oh well!) I'm excited! Great review!
I totally can't wait to read it now.
Totally loved your little movie….adorable.
now I'm excited! thank!
I've bene excited about this book since Richelle first announced it, but you've raised that excitement to new levels. I cannot wait until August when I can get my hands on a copy and devour it in one sitting (as i've done with each of the Vampire Academy books!).
Your so lucky you got an early copy!! I'm dying to read this book especially now with this review, my anticipation is 10x worse….!
And the stick figure video = awesomeness!
I do need to see the Adrian light. I hate how things ended for him…
Can't wait for Bloodlines!
First off, I'm majorly jealous of you at the moment! Also, I totally want spoilers 😛
And, I too love Adrian'scharacter, and I'm totally pumped that he's the main guy in this book. August cannot et here quickly enough!
i love rose, dimka and everything of orginial series but it's turn for something new for a bit and i could not be with better characters! ADRIAN! (AHHHH!!) Jill, Eddie, AND SYDNEY! seriously they were characters that were intriguing from the start! can't wait!!
I've read all her book and all her characters and storylines are amazing!
ADRIAN AND SYDNEY!! please be each others true love.
i swear i've wanted to see it happen ever since Sydney told Rose she thought adrian was cute!!!
wait, does that mean Eddie gets with Jill or what? mannn so exciting so many questions!!
Adrian, please please get your happy ending!
Okay, I'm so freaking excited for Bloodlines now. I mean, I already was excited but you've just made me more excited.
I have a million Bloodlines theories running through my head, mostly about Adrian and Sydney's potential hooking up. x]
I'm really excited for Bloodlines, I loved the VA series. I loved that you didn't include any spoilers but go me super excited for this series. 🙂
Adrian 4 Ever 😀
Oooh I can't wait for this one. I didn't get to meet Richelle at the BEA *jealous* but I'm looking forward to this series. I love her writing. Thanks for the spoiler free bits 🙂
Love the video. Guess I should totally reav VA now. I've only read a short story in an anthology and liked it, but kept putting VA aside. Must check this out.
Great Video!!! So cute and true to the story:D
I read all VA in 1 week. I must admit first 2 books didn't grab me like I thought they should have but from book 3 onwards, the tears flow, oh the emotion…twas a wonderful , wonderful read.I can't wait for Bloodlines. I hoped Adrian would get better understood, I felt the poor guys pain:( Always there.
MIchelle A
I loved the VA series. Demetri….and then Adrian…*thud* I was torn over who I loved more.
Can't wait to read Bloodlines.
And I LOVED the little stick figure video! Very charming, and right on point.

BURBANK, Calif. — For Lionel Richie, part of parenthood has been payback.
The pop icon's 19-year-old son, Miles, had initials inked on his hand by Keeping up With the Kardashians star Kylie Jenner. A video of it was posted on TMZ and made headlines on gossip blogs and celebrity websites.
"In life, they say to me, 'What did you do to your parents, Lionel?' And I said, 'I tried to destroy them,'" a laughing Richie said in a recent interview, noting that he thought daughter Nicole, a tabloid regular, was the parental cross he would have to bear.
"I think Miles may be the next," Richie added, smiling. "I'm only holding my breath."
Richie is also keeping busy with his All the Hits All Night Long tour, which kicks off its second North American leg Thursday in Vancouver. CeeLo Green will open.

text: Find Out If an Interview Is Going Well by Asking the Interviewer About His or Her JobMelanie Pinola1/09/13 9:00amFiled to: Interviewsjob interviewsJobsCareerCommunication26EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkOther than reading your interviewer's body language or coming right out and asking if he or she thinks you're fit for the job, one simple question may be all you need to gauge how an interview is going or went: "Why do you work here?" AdvertisementSteve Browne, an HR director, says on HR Bartender that the way the person answers can be a sign that the interview went well (or not):I recommend that people ask "Why do you work here?" as their first follow-up question every time. When they do this, the interviewer will inevitably let their guard down and the candidate can judge how the person answers. If they seem to relax and engage the candidate, the interview went well. If they are aloof and give the Company "line" as a response, then it may have not gone well.If the signs point to you having a bad job interview, don't worry. The HR Bartender article offers many suggestions for how to handle the situation, and we've got a few tips as well for recovering from a bad job interview.

Carnival Vista will be the next largest ship by a cruise line that continues to rebuild its reputation among guests for winter 2016. The news was announced by President and CEO Gerry Cahill on Saturday.
Vista will be a 4,000-passenger cruise ship weighing 135,000 tons, and will be built in the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy. It will feature Carnival's latest upgrades as well as a number of state-of-the-art innovations. The vessel will be the cruise line's 25th "Fun Ship."
"Carnival Vista will offer a wide variety of dining, bar and entertainment options that are part of the line's groundbreaking Fun Ship 2.0 product enhancement initiative, along with a number of innovations unique to this vessel," Cahill said.
The home port for the Carnival Vista and its itinerary has not been announced yet.
The cruise line is trying to reinvent itself after spending $300 million to upgrade its ships, including a second generator to be served in case of a power outage.
The public perception of Carnival turned worse last February when the Triumph was stranded in the Gulf of Mexico for eight days.
Since then, the company has made a lot of changes and upgrades to its fleet.

Unspeakably popular at Vietnamese restaurants, grilled five-spice chicken is easy to replicate at home. You can also use the marinade on chicken parts as opposed to a whole chicken, but a butterflied bird is quite dramatic and no trouble to maneuver on a grill. The chicken skin will char easily if placed directly over the coals or gas flame, thanks to the sugar in the marinade, so be sure to grill it over indirect heat. The exterior will still develop a honey brown gloss thanks to the soy sauce and five-spice powder, and the interior will remain juicy as can be.–Janet Fletcher
LC Screw-Your-Courage-to-the-Sticking Place Note
There's no shame in asking the butcher to butterfly a chicken for you. That said, you can, of course, butterfly it yourself. All this requires is a sturdy pair of kitchen shears and a little know-how (see the first step of the recipe that follows).
Grilled Five-Spice Chicken Recipe
- 1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
- 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons peeled, minced lemongrass
- 1 tablespoon peeled, minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1. To butterfly the chicken, first reach for poultry shears or a chef's knife.
If using poultry shears, place the chicken breast side down on a cutting board and cut from the neck to the tail along both sides of the backbone to release it. Turn the chicken breast side up and press on the breastbone with the heel of your hand to flatten the bird. Cut off the wing tips and discard.
If using a chef's knife, place the chicken breast side up on a cutting board and insert the chef's knife into the body cavity. Cut along each side of the backbone to release it. Press on the breastbone with the heel of your hand to flatten the bird. Cut off the wing tips and discard. - 2. Place the garlic, shallot, lemongrass, ginger, and sugar in a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped. (If you don't have a food processor, bash the ingredients together in a large mortar or use the flat side of a chef's knife to mix them together on the cutting board.) With the motor running, add the soy sauce through the feed tube and puree until the paste is as fine as possible. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the fish sauce, five-spice powder, and pepper.
- 3. Place the flattened chicken in a large baking dish or in a large resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over it, and turn the bird to coat on both sides. Cover with plastic wrap or seal the bag and refrigerate. Marinate for 6 to 8 hours, turning at least once or twice.
- 4. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about 1 hour before you plan to grill. Prepare a moderate charcoal fire for indirect grilling or preheat a gas grill to medium 375ºF (190°C), leaving one burner unlit for indirect grilling.
- 5. Remove the chicken from the dish or the bag, reserving the marinade. Brush the skin side of the chicken with some of the marinade. Place the chicken, skin side down, over indirect heat. Cover the grill and cook until the skin is richly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
- 6. Brush the meat side of the chicken with the remaining marinade, then turn the chicken, skin side up. Cover the grill and continue to cook over indirect heat until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced or an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh away from the bone registers 165ºF (74°C), about 15 minutes longer. Let rest for 10 minutes before carving and exclaiming how this is the juiciest chicken you've ever pulled from the grill.

Typical fuel economy reported by owners starts at 35 MPG, with 40-50 MPG easily possible with some thoughtful driving. With not even a hint of any major problems, the Toyota Echo is a fantastically reliable car with fuel economy that puts some "eco-friendly" hybrids 10 years newer to shame.
