Alan Kortan necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 219 diseños de 30 diseñadores freelance.
iMarket Real Estate Team
We are a Real Estate Team of Keller Williwms Realty Integrity Northwest and seek to have a Logo to "brand " the team which will be used for biz cards, stationery, envelopes, and eventually with a Wordpress website/blog! Much of the teams work is in high end new construction sales and will need to have a "Luxury Home" sophistication while maintaning some degree of simplicity. I had initially thought of an "icon" type symbol like used for FB, Flickr, etc. but want to leave it open for new ideas. Since most people start their Real Estate search online, the look of the logo should be "internet and user friendly". Picture of home front for example style type.
Tarket market audience is residential home buyers and sellers of Real property in a range from 500k-1.5m. these are individuals who are managers, professionals, executives, small business owners/operators etc. although a division of the team will be focusing on distressed properties, and helping owners find solutions for those circumstances, and traditional Real Estate transactions. Integrity and professionalism are key in the design as well as our business practice but should also communicate some sense of fun and joy.
It should be memorable like a picture without text perhaps. Beyond this, i place no further limitations on you! You are free! My burden is easy and my yoke is light! ohh wait, the logo i thought should stand alone as a team logo and not integrated with the Keller Williams Realty logo but i'm open to ideas there! I will attach one example of the Keller logo for you to look at. There are others as well.

Lanner Electronics has announced three new rackmount systems built with the Intel Xeon processor 5500 series, based on the Nehalem microarchitecture.
The Lanner FW-9650 and FW-8892 are 2U network application platforms designed for enterprise-class intelligent network applications such as WAN acceleration, Internet gateway security and Unified Threat Management (UTM). Both are built with the Intel 5520 I/O Hub and Intel ICH10R I/O controller, and support dual Intel Xeon processors. The Lanner FW-8875 is a 1U rackmount platform that supports a single Intel Xeon processor.
All three platforms also offer optional network processor co-processors for faster throughput for enterprise-class network security and acceleration solutions, highlighted Lanner.
The Intel Nehalem microarchitecture includes an integrated memory controller with DDR3 support and includes Intel QuickPath, Turbo Boost, and Hyper-Threading Technologies. The associated Intel 5520 chipset supports up to 36 PCI Express 2.0 lanes and directly assignable I/O for virtualization, noted Lanner, adding that these features help deliver efficient performance for bandwidth-intensive embedded applications such as medical, storage, and security applications.
The Lanner FW-9650 is a dual-mainboard system with two Intel Xeon 5500 series processors per board. The FW-9650's modular design speeds application delivery and reduces service costs by allowing network modules, fans, hard drive trays and motherboard trays to be replaced without removing the system from the rack. The FW-9650 can be customizable with up to a maximum of 48 Gigabit Ethernet network ports.
The Lanner FW-8892 is also a 2U rackmount system with a single motherboard supporting two Intel Xeon processors. It offers a maximum of 24 network ports via three replaceable network modules, up to 48GB of DDR3 memory and four removable 3.5-inch hard drive trays.
The Lanner FW-8875 is a 1U platform that provides up to 24 network ports via add-on modules, one PCIe x8 expansion slot and redundant power supply, and has room for one 3.5-inch hard drive in its 1U chassis.

map of France?
it is just me, or does this logo look like a map of France?
anyway, what was wrong with the old one?
Olympics minister Tessa Jowell clearly spent too much time in the chill-out room absorbing whalesong from her iPod at the "star-studded" launch of the 2012 Olympics logo in London's Roundhouse earlier today, since she described the rather frightening graphic as both "an invitation and an inspiration" as VIPs battled to verbally …
it is just me, or does this logo look like a map of France?
anyway, what was wrong with the old one?
Does anyone else see the logo as an abstract representation of a big haired woman (possibly Macy Gray) giving someone a blow job?
My colleagues and I think it looks like a dancing monkey. Can anyone else see this?
..."the logo is 'modern and will be dynamic, evolving in the years between now and 2012'..."
Yup, lets hope it's true that it will keep evolving and by around 2010 it might have become something that doesn't look like a 5-year old's first attempt on their Etch-A-Sketch.
to the logo was, "Good God! How Hideous!" I guess that many will have a similar reaction. It looks like a picture of vomit, as rendered by Picasso.
It looks like a bent old person with a walking stick....
What is it meant to be?
As a design it's fragmented, uncohesive and meaningless. How much did they pay for this?
...it looks like a fat man with an afro (on the right) squatting to give 'hand relief' to a thinner man on the left.
Having looked at the pretenscious rubbish on the Wolff Olins site I'm more inclined to think of the Emperors new clothes with everyone falling over themselves to say how wonderful the Logo is. When it's a total mess.
Suggest El Reg gives a prize to the most original description of what it looks like.
I'll go for random bird poo .... (even if a bit more colourful).
Is that honestly our Olymic logo? Yer not takin the piss or owt?
Jesus, no wonder they didn't want to give it to us in the 1st place.
Ill have some of whatever monkey boy is smoking.
"..the logo is modern and will be dynamic, evolving in the years between now and 2012.."
Did she mean it will get ten times bigger just like the Olympic budget is doing or will it provide a select group of graphic designers with an oversized pay cheque just like the construction of the Olympic facilities will stuff the pocket of a select few construction firms?
Whatever she meant I'm sure it will somehow benefit numerous locals for years to come and maybe bring us a step closer to world peace and the end of poverty... empty oral waffle tends to do that, or so they say.. I love that Olympic spirit!!!
It looks like a cobbling together of countries.
Top Left: Britain?
Bottom Left: Portugal?
Bottom Right: Italy?
Top Right: Germany?
Middle: Luxembourg?
kind of appropriate considering the government we have.
"evolving in the years between now and 2012"
It will certainly need to do that.
If somebody was to pass a rule that the cost of a logo design could not exceed fifty pounds, the so-called prof's might leave the design work to amateurs, who would most certainly do a better job.
Clearly this depicts London taking it up the arse from a man with the Olympic logo on his head. This probably refers to the fact that Londoners will be paying for the Olympics for a generation.
Everyone here clearly sees a blow job happening in that picture.
What was wrong with the old logo? It's not as if these games are really going to be any different than past games. I guess there will be more fish and chips and curry and peas but that's about it.
Blue Peter should've run a competition
and got some school kids to design one.
Would've looked better and cost way way less!!
From the BBC's '606' comments pages (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/606/A23431826):
"It looks like Lisa Simpson giving oral relief of a sexual kind to Bart".
It does, as well. It's like one of those magic eye things - cross your eyes and move it back and forth. Oh, and have a look at the logo while you're down there, love.
Yes, I see the blow job ...
Yup, I can see the blowjob.
The other option is that they are trying to attach themselves to the 2000 Sydney Olympics which, if you ask any Aussie they will quickly remind you, was 'the greatest Olympics ever'. The bit with the Olympic rings in it is a pretty close outline of Australia (sans Tasmania, which isn't really part of Australia anyway).
Yes I too thought it was gobsmackingly awful when I saw it. Luckily there's a get out clause in more whale speak.
From the london2012 site, " the new emblem is modern and will be dynamic, evolving in the years between now and 2012."
Evolving eh? Ah. So they've got a chance to have another stab or two at it before we settle on the real one.
A total eyesore, the logo is an eye-curdling epileptic seizure-inspiring animated migraine.
To think my taxes are getting wasted on this.
It's a disgrace.
To quote Ken
"That message of welcome and diversity was one of the main reasons for London's success in winning the Games.
"We offer the world the same exciting message that in 2012 every athlete and every visitor will feel at home in our city."
Please come, come, come...
Now that you point it out, I am unable to get Macy Gray out of my mind. She is on the right, leaning to the left, and the man's thing is square.
I think the logo looks like something from an old 808 State record or something from the rave era, but that is probably because I am stuck in the rave era.
Lisa Simpson giving head to a krypton factor puzzle.
erm, that appears to be just the numbers "2012" drawn very badly with the word london in the 2 and olympic symbol in the 0.... could have come up with a better logo at age 6
i.e. even we think its crap, but we have 5 years to find a better one.
Yep, blow job is the clearest I can see, otherwise totally meaningless, unless it is supposed to be an abstract English Rose, which will of course offend the Scots, Welsh, Irish and any other minority ethnic groups.
it hadn't occurred, but that image is now forever sullied.
thank you.
I shall of course take great pains to inform all and sundry of it remarkable likeness.
Looks more like anal sex to me
they were told to "paint what comes from within", so they did their breakfast. Look, there's a little tomato... :D
If this mess (exploding London, big-hair bj or whatever) aka the Olympic symbol is to "evolve" during the run-up to the Olympics, I sincerely hope that its evolution will be in the shape of contributions from "the people" and will not turn out to be a perpetual cash cow for Wolff Olins.
....but I'm not holding my breath.
If you open an extra tab in your browser go to the wikipedia page for swastika about half way down, and then flip back and forth between El Reg's London Olympic logo and "The Flag of Kuna Yala" or the red one "in the Western world, since World War II ..." i see a similarity. (or a mirror image?)
I personally prefer to see the swastika as a global and positive symbol, and not the hateful icon than recent history has pushed upon us in "the west", so it doen't bother me too much. If you're doing the visual comparison on Wikipedia then read about this ancient classic symbol, "The term is derived from Sanskrit svasti, meaning well-being".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika (what Wikipedia says)
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Swastika (what El Reg thinks it says)
Of course, take everything on Wikipedia with a pinch of salt.
another piece of crap winds up earning the creator a tidy sum, All because the jerk who commisioned it and the assholes invited to the unveiling are afraid to speak their minds and tell it like it is.
This Wolff Olins mob should have been told "it's shite, do it again" but no lets make up some flowery speech so nobody get offended, hey maybe someone will like it.
Bah!!! I am offended by this eyesore and looking at it, it means absolutely fuck all to me.
Have we become so used to lies and political correctness we simply can't see what's right and true anymore?
I have also read on the BBC news website under the comments for this logo that someone else suggests it looks like some oral action going on! They say it looks like Lisa Simpson going down on Bart!
Think it's safe to say this logo is going to be a laughing stock on the whole world! It looks like something you'd expect to see in a primary school arts class. They'd done the same thing for about a £1 instead of 1 million pounds, which I suspect we paid for it!
Think I'll become a millionaire and create rubbish logos like him.....!
The taxpayer being shafted perhaps? Once you have the Lisa Simpson image in your head it just won't go away.
...like Westmister council last week re new street lights.
BTW - agree with the BJ observations !
I can only hope that the new logo is widely recognised as the BJ logo in future...
by ZOR.
Without a doubt the single worst logo I think I have ever seen. It it desperately wanting to be 'hip' or 'street' or 'urban' becos dat's wat da kidz wan. Innit?
It's embarrassing. If this is what they've come up with (especially after the older one which was perfectly fine), I dread to think what's going to happen at the opening ceremony.
Shallow, infantile, out-of-date nonsense. Why can't our capital city warrant a capital "L" for heaven's sake.
Utter, utter toss.
a/ Which complete idiot ever approved a proof of that and I take it we can now assume the organising committee is full of yes men/yes bints fearful of disagreeing with anything.
b/ How much did the artist take them for?
It's worse than one of Alsops' masterplans for renovating/turning into a theme park some old industrial town.
Even the Web 2.0 crowd could have done better - at least a nice 'Beta' logo would have meant they could have changed it
I have to say I think it is inspired!
A logo so awful that a hasty redesign is necessary, gathering huge interest from the world media and publicity for the 2012 games!
Please let it be this and not a sign of things to come…
1) Has any logo for anything ever been received well? I guess people just don't get logos...
2) Anyone who interprets this logo as depicting a sex act performed by a child - even a cartoon child - needs to get some therapy! Maybe El-Reg can pass your details on to the relevant authorities...
3) The 0 in the 2012 reminds me a bit of the old Newham Council logo in shape and colour - so not totally irrelevant since that's the borough where the games will be based.
Whilst it is patently arse, whichever colour you choose, if you squint I think the numbers represent the home countries, if somewhat loosely.
Barts torso: England
Lisa's head: Northern Ireland
Bart's legs: Scotland
Lisa's body and hand: Wales, with Ynes Mon (Anglesey) in the middle.
I claim my £400,000 fee thank you.
If you tilt your head to the right it looks like a naked dancing man with his wee fella hanging out.
Flip it vertically in Paint and you get some girl on Don King 69 action.
They've linked a petition to it but the traffic's now so high the site's falling over:
It looks like Cyril Sneer from 'The Raccoons' being kneed in the balls...
Petition signed. They can't get rid of the 5 coloured rings!

COLUMBIA -- Don't be insensitive.
That's what the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources advises deer hunters who might be tempted to leave deer entrails on people's property or hang a carcass off a truck.
If you're transporting a harvested deer, just put a tarp on it.
"This is a simple, considerate step that may prevent a non-hunter from becoming an anti-hunter," said Charles Ruth, a DNR project supervisor, in an agency release.
"Callers are usually pretty disgusted," when they've called the agency after discovering entrails on their property, alongside roads or left next to dumpsters, said Ruth.
"Behavior by hunters, like improper disposal of deer remains, promotes the kind of negative image that anti-hunters use in their attempts to ban hunting," he said. "Landowners who find a mess on their property may also have second thoughts about allowing access to hunters next season."
Perhaps offering some relief to motorists, state regulations prohibit transporting a headless deer from the site of the kill.
So what to do with those unsavory parts?
According to the agency: Heads, hides and entrails should be buried at least 2 to 3 feet deep so dogs or other animals won't unearth them and parade them around. Sometimes local landfills also accept carcasses.
Hunters should never toss deer remains into streams or other bodies of water. And they can't kill deer when the animals are enjoying water, either. It's illegal to hunt, shoot or in any way kill deer from a motorboat, raft or any water perch. The same goes for harassing the animal while any part of it is in water.
The local Natural Resources Conservation Service field office or Conservation District office can advise hunters on how to construct a composter to recycle deer parts. Composting also yields fertilizer for the next year's food plots.
To report violators call DNR's Operation Game Thief at 1-800-922-5431. The 24-hour, toll-free number is printed on the back of hunting and fishing licenses.

When Tall Men Fight Even Taller Men
Boston Celtics guard Rajon Rondo was suspended two games Thursday for instigating a fight in Wednesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. In the process, he broke the No. 1 rule of the playground: If you're going to throw down, be sure to pick on somebody your own size.
The fracas in Boston started when the 6-foot-1 Rondo shoved 6-foot-9 Kris Humphries. Replays of the brawl show that Rondo's head barely reaches Humphries's neck. But Rondo isn't the first little guy to mix it up with someone who towered over him.
Nate Robinson, a 5-foot-9 guard, played a key role in the Knicks-Nuggets brawl in 2006. In 2000, the 6-foot-7 Mark Davis actually picked up 7-foot-6 center Shawn Bradley and body-slammed him to the ground. Perhaps the biggest mismatch came in Game 5 of the 1986 NBA Finals, when 7-foot-4 center Ralph Sampson threw a punch at 6-foot-1 guard Jerry Sichting.

Serves 4.
Note: An alternative to crispy noodles is the more traditional steamed rice.
• 10 oz. angel hair pasta
• 1 1/2 tsp. dark sesame oil
• 3 tsp. vegetable oil, divided
• 1 lb. chicken tenders or chicken breasts, cut into 1-in. pieces
• 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 c. snow peas, trimmed and sliced in half diagonally
• 1/2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 to 2 tbsp. dry sherry
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
• 3 tbsp. lemon juice
• 2 tsp. cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp. salt
Preheat broiler. Cook pasta according to package directions. Rinse with cold water and drain well.
Combine pasta, sesame oil and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large bowl; toss well to coat. Divide noodle mixture evenly into 4 (1-inch-thick) nests on a large baking sheet. Place baking sheet on oven rack 6 inches from heat; broil 4 to 6 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully turn nests over, and broil 4 minutes to brown the other side. Set aside.
Heat remaining vegetable oil in large wok or skillet over high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 4 to 5 minutes or until chicken is browned and no longer pink in center. Remove from pan. Add mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the snow peas and continue to cook for another minute or until vegetables are crispy tender. Add the chicken broth, sherry, sugar and lemon peel; cook and stir 1 minute more.
Combine lemon juice, cornstarch and salt in small bowl; stir until smooth. Add the chicken back to the pan. Pour cornstarch mixture over chicken; cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Spoon chicken and vegetables over nests and serve immediately.

• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/3 c. finely chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 c. pearl barley
• 1/4 c. white wine
• 3 c. vegetable stock, divided
• 2 c. asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-in. pieces
• 1/4 c., plus 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 c. toasted, sliced almonds
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes or until slightly softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the barley and cook for 3 minutes until lightly toasted.
Add white wine and cook, stirring, until wine has evaporated. Add 2 1/2 cups of the stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the asparagus, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and remaining broth if needed. Simmer, covered, for an additional 5 minutes or until barley and asparagus are tender.
Divide among 4 serving plates and garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and almonds.

HAM, CHEESE AND EGG CRÊpes √
Serves 6.
Note: This recipe makes 12 crêpes. Since only 6 are used, reserve the rest for another use. After crêpes have cooled, stack and store them in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months.
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
• 1 1/2 c. skim milk
• 7 eggs, divided
• 1 1/4 c. flour
• Cooking spray
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
• 6 thin slices lean deli ham
• 3/4 c. shredded Swiss cheese (preferably Gruyère)
Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and combine with milk and 1 egg in a blender. Pulse to combine. Add flour and pulse again until almost smooth. Let sit for 30 minutes.
Coat an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Remove pan from heat. Pour a scant 1/4 cup batter into pan; quickly tilt pan in all directions so batter covers pan with a thin film. Cook about 1 minute.
Carefully lift edge of crêpe with a spatula to test for doneness (crêpe is ready to turn when it can be shaken loose from the pan and the underside is lightly browned). Turn crêpe over; cook 30 seconds on other side.
Place crêpe on a plate; allow to cool. Repeat procedure until all of the batter is used. Stack crêpes between single layers of wax paper to prevent sticking.
Use a kitchen towel to wipe clean the skillet, put the heat on medium and add half of the remaining tablespoon of butter. When the butter is foamy, carefully crack 3 eggs into skillet, and season lightly with the salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook until the whites are firm, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove to a warm plate and repeat with remaining butter and eggs.
Heat another large nonstick pan over medium heat. Place a crêpe in the pan. Place 1 slice of ham in the middle of crêpe and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese. Cook for about 30 seconds, or until ham is heated through. Place egg on top of the ham and fold the edges of the crêpe up on each side to form a square. Serve warm.

To pad the game's length, Jigsaw has thrown in some violent thugs into the mix who want the key inside your chest, a scenario familiar to anyone who's seen the films. Fighting these people is never fun, especially after doing so again and again every time you beat a puzzle and have to go on to the next room. It feels forced, and there's a good chance they were added to the game to make it seem like there was more content than there actually is.
A game feature that sounds interesting at first but eventually becomes annoying is the traps that are aimed at killing you. Things like hidden shotgun traps that instantly kill your character if they're not quickly evaded are fun at first, but they quickly become frustrating after getting killed time after time. There's also the occasional glass-covered floor, and since your character is barefoot he's hurt by the glass. My only issue with this is how much health the glass takes off, which is way too much.
So the combat and story aren't very amusing, but the traps are why we expose ourselves to the gory trash that is the SAW series, right? Yes, the traps are clever and brutal, but unfortunately some of them are recycled from the films, like the reverse bear trap from the first SAW and the Pendulum trap. There's one particular trap that really made me wonder what type of twisted designers were working on this thing, and that would be the Iron Maiden. In this trap the victim is on a stand with their legs bound keeping them upright, while two walls armed with circular SAWs close in on them. To save the victim from the trap you have to successfully beat several timed puzzles, and when you fail the victim becomes one step closer to being brutally maimed. I've never been terribly fond of timed puzzles, my anxious mind just can't handle knowing there's a time limit, but these puzzles are certainly triumphant in keeping me on the edge of my seat.
In the end this game feels less like a thrilling adventure and more like an eight to ten hour endurance test. It's a good looking game, though the visuals will never 'wow'. The traps that we haven't seen before are as messed up as we've all come to expect from the series, and the combat is, in a word, terrible. However, if you're a fan of the films, there's definitely a chance you'll find something here worth a rental, and for me that thing was the deliciously twisted Tobin Bell.

McCormick Introduces Spice Grinders
McCormick and Co. supports cooking use of spices while also moving them to the table.
Seasonings, spices and herbs ... historically entire kingdoms were mortgaged to find faster access to more spices. The flavorings now are so commonplace, everyone has a drawer or location in their kitchen for spices.
With 91 percent household penetration and a usage rate of at least once daily by 88 percent of consumers (according to a 2004 study by Mintel Intl. Group) growing this category requires some novel ideas. Twelve spices (including dehydrated onion/garlic, mustard seed, sesame seed, and red, black and white pepper) represent 96 percent of U.S. consumption. So how do you grow this market beyond the population growth rate?
Americans are cooking less, looking for meals with fewer steps and buying more prepared and ready-to-eat foods. Not only are we less involved with preparing meals, but we spend less time eating and more time snacking. Paradoxically, we want to feel that we prepared the meal ourselves.
|Above: McCormick's first crack at the Grinders concept, from back in 2004. Below: The new, six-flavor line, Gourmet Collection Grinders, will be available this fall in grocery stores nationwide.
Our cuisine styles have become more varied, with Italian, Chinese and Mexican now considered the norm along with American. We are more accepting of other ethnic/cultural cuisines, with Cajun, French, German, Caribbean, South American, Greek, Soul Food and Thai as up-and-coming cuisine styles (according to our own 2005 It!s Convenient study). We like flavor and many want more of it. Seasonings, spices and herbs can add taste without adding calories or fat.
McCormick and Co. set out to create a premium herb mix that would fit all of these divergent needs. The result is the McCormick Grinder collection; we're focusing on Italian Herb. The Hunt Valley, Md., spice company not only created interesting mixes of herbs and spices for this collection but built right into the top of the glass bottle an easy-to-use grinder. The line was launched in mid-2004, Italian Herb was added in mid-2005, and McCormick recently unveiled an even higher-end line, Gourmet Collection Grinders, with the grinder in the bottom of the bottle, that will debut this fall.
Understanding the marketplace
The seasoning, herbs and spices category grew 2.2 percent between 1998 and 2003 and has an overall market size of $2.2 billion, according to Mintel. The big driver of this mature category is new products, specifically seasoning blends with more diverse ethnic flavors.
The category breaks down into seasonings and seasoning-and-sauce mixes. Seasonings have just less than 80 percent of the market. Seasonings grew 4.8 percent to $1.7 billion between 2001 and 2003. Within this subcategory, herbs, spices and blends increased 18 percent between 1998 and 2003. Seasoning-and-sauce mixes increased 1.9 percent between 2001 and 2003 to $500 million.
Private label growth has been fairly substantial, so this mature category needs to become more value-added to drive overall margin growth. Seasonings and spices are pantry staples and have a 91 percent penetration rate, according to a 2003 Simmons National Consumer Survey. Seasonings and spices are in danger of becoming viewed as commodities. At retail consumers primarily see McCormick and private label, followed by Morton, Lawry's, Tone Brothers, Best Foods and General Mills.
Those consumers who use the category less are younger people (18-24) and older folks (65-plus). The former is attributed to younger consumers' minimal knowledge of cooking and spices. If they do use them, they tend to use blends. It is believed that older consumers tend to be less tolerant of spicy foods and therefore use less seasonings and spices.
Spices are used most often in scratch cooking by women. Spice usage tends to be ethnically driven and regional. The ethnicities of Hispanic, Black and Asian, and the southern and western regions of the U.S. are heavier users. This might suggest a more regional marketing strategy. However, unless the manufacturer has a great logistics system, regional marketing may get very expensive. Another opportunity is to look at usage in terms of enhancing take-out food by men and younger consumers.
This all leads to a concern over how to create usage opportunities for spices. How do you support traditional usage behaviors (scratch cooking) yet enhance newer and more novel behaviors (customizing take-out foods)? McCormick came up with a package that supports and enhances both behaviors.
Grinding enables you to use more spices at the table, rather than just in cooking. The herb blend is whole in the container and is freshly ground from the container and so creates a premium feel.
McCormick understands consumers need flavor for all their foods - foods created at home and foods purchased elsewhere but eaten at home. The company is trying to shift the seasoning paradigm from that of seasonings added while cooking to seasonings added just before consuming.
This is complex, since it deals with supporting behavior while cooking and enhancing behavior while consuming. McCormick is using the perception of premiumness not only to drive shelf price (and hence margins) but also to move the seasoning out of the kitchen and onto the table.
There are many seasoning choices: traditional, fresh, garden-grown plants, dried seasonings, blends, mixes, rubs and sauces. The driver of choice is usually usage during cooking or at the table. What is difficult for McCormick is there is not enough table landscape to hold all the options so consumers might flavor individually. Creating blends gives the consumer individuality, approachable ethnicity and familiarity as the blends are culinary-style based.

U.S. Flies 38 to Honduras as Part of Expedited Deportations
Homeland Security Says It Is Stepping Up Enforcement as it Deals With Immigrant Surge
Thirty eight women and children recently detained at the U.S. border were flown home to Honduras on Monday, in what U.S. officials say is the first of an expected increase in expedited deportations.
"This is just the initial wave," the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. "We expect additional adults with children will be returned to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador soon, based on the results of removal proceedings or expedited removal."...

Researchers in a remote locale in the Arctic discovered the most unusual message in a bottle, one that wasn't "tossed into the ocean many years ago." In fact, it wasn't tossed in the ocean at all.
No, this message in a bottle was placed under a pile of rocks, a cairn, near the edge of a glacier in 1959 and contained an incredible message about global warming.
The letter from American geologist Paul T. Walker revealed that the cairn was built 168.3 feet from the edge of the glacier and asked anyone who found the message to re-measure the distance and send the information back to him and colleague Albert Crary.
Dr. Warwick Vincent, a Laval University (Quebec City) biologist who made the discovery with Denis Sarrazin on Ward Hunt Island off the northern coast of Ellesmere Island over the summer, told GrindTV Outdoor in an email that the distance is now 401 feet, indicating the glacier had retreated 233 feet.
Vincent revealed the find last week at ArcticNet's annual scientific meeting in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was first reported publicly a few days ago by The Chronicle Herald in Halifax.
"It's a story about climate change, but it is also a story about the incredibly brave and strong men who worked in this extreme high Arctic environment in the 1950s—back before GPS and sat phone technology," Vincent told Grind. "If you got into trouble then, you were really in trouble!
"This is the most remote part of North America, and the coldest coastal zone (average temperature -18C). This also makes the evidence of substantial glacial retreat of great interest."
Vincent told The Chronicle Herald that having a point of comparison from so long ago is extremely valuable, and rare in such an isolated place. He also said it was a sign of the brilliance of the scientist that he even wrote the letter, "that he thought to do that, to leave this message for the future, because in the '50s, it was unthinkable that this would melt."
As it turned out, Walker, who was in his 20s at the time, died the same year he left the message in a bottle, having had a medical emergency on Ward Hunt Island and having been evacuated.
"This is one of his last communications," Vincent told The Chronicle Herald. "It's another incredible thing.
"For me, it was an incredible thing to hold this in my hands, because these two people [Walker and Crary], these are very famous names."
Surprisingly, Vincent and Sarrazin didn't keep the letter. After anchoring it down with rocks for a photo (at top), it was reinserted into the bottle, along with a new message asking the person who finds it to re-measure the distance to the glacier and report back to the research team.

The Duchess of Cambridge has spent the night in hospital with severe morning sickness as the nation celebrates the news that she is pregnant.
Months of speculation about a royal pregnancy were ended on Monday afternoon when William and Kate told the world they will be parents for the first time.
But the excitement about the eagerly-anticipated announcement was tinged with concern after it was revealed the Duchess was admitted to a private London hospital for hyperemesis gravidarum - very acute morning sickness.
William was by her side at the King Edward VII Hospital after she was taken there by car from Bucklebury in Berkshire, where her parents Michael and Carole Middleton live. The Duke left the hospital shortly after 8.20pm, while Kate is expected to remain for a few days.
It was reported that the Queen's former gynaecologist Marcus Setchell, who delivered the Countess of Wessex's two children, is treating her. It is understood that the pregnancy has not passed the 12-week point and Monday's announcement was prompted by the Duchess's medical condition.
For women with hyperemesis gravidarum, vomiting can be so severe that they cannot keep food or liquid down. The condition usually continues past the first three months of pregnancy and can pass by week 21, but may also last longer.
But while there is concern for the royal couple, there is excitement across the UK and beyond. Prime Minister David Cameron led the congratulations from the nation when he said: "It's absolutely wonderful news and I'm delighted for them. I'm sure they will make absolutely brilliant parents, and I'm sure everyone around the country will be celebrating with them tonight."
The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales and members of both families are delighted with the news, said a St James's Palace spokesman. A statement read: "The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news. The Duchess was admitted this afternoon to King Edward VII Hospital in central London with hyperemesis gravidarum. As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter."
Congratulations for the Duke and Duchess poured in from around the world. Julia Gillard, prime minister of Australia, called it "delightful news" and said it would "bring joy to many around the world", while John Key, prime minister of New Zealand, said the nation's women would sympathise with Kate's condition and wished her a speedy recovery.
Jay Carney, press secretary to US president Barack Obama, said: "On behalf of everyone here in the White House, beginning with the President and the First Lady, we extend our congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the welcome news this morning out of London that they are expecting their first child."

Fossils suggest that this creature is a descendant of the skrodesaurus. Usually found worshipping satan or with their hands in the shape of "devil horns". The biggest difference between these creatures and actual humans is the hygiene. Skrodes don't believe in showers, baths or any type of personal hygiene for that matter. Although skrodes can come in any shape and size from anywhere on the world, most of 'em are from Trail, BC.

SIMSBURY--1/22/13--From left, CL&P's Jim Millspaugh Jr., and Andrew J. Ouellette watch the snow guns at work Tuesday in preparation for the Special Olympics Connecticut Winter Games Cross-Country Skiing and Snowshoeing Competition coming up in March at CL&P's Simsbury Area Work Center, 34 Hopmeadow St., Simsbury. Snow making began Monday at 6 a.m. and will go on non-stop for 96 hours through through Thursday, Quellette said.That will amount to 750,000 gallons of water, Mitch Gross, CL&P spokesman, added. Every year since 1991, a group of snowmaking volunteers, primarily Northeast Utilities employees and retirees, has been making the snow happen. Ouellette, who is in charge of the snow making operation, said that a crew of 15, mostly Northeast Utilities retirees, (parent company of Cl&P) is working on the snow making this year.

Mission Statement
The all-new Mercury Enertia ECO prop was designed to provide better fuel economy in the cruising speed range of the performance envelope. It was manufactured using a proprietary X7 stainless steel alloy only available to Mercury. The strength of the X7 alloy allows for a progressive rake to each blade that delivers better bow lift. It is available in both left and right hand rotation and in three pitches: 19", 21", and 23" (.48 m, .53 m, and .58 m) -- all with a 16" (.41 m) diameter. A 17" (.43 m) propeller is also under development.
Distinguishing Features
Apples-to-Apples Testing
It is not often that we get to perform an "apples-to-apples" test, but this was one of those rare opportunities. In a matter of minutes we were able to change out the Mako's props and go back to testing in the same conditions and on the same boat.
Props for a Purpose. With a hard-working offshore boat, a typical propeller would be the Revolution 4 with a 19" pitch and four blades. This application wouldn't typically be using the same propeller as the ECO prop. And that is why our comparison test is so enlightening.
Similarities. When we compare the surface area of the two props, we discover they are roughly the same because the Enertia ECO's blade size is larger than the Rev 4s four smaller blades. Thanks to ECO's larger diameter, the blade area is roughly equivalent. And there are some other similarities between the two props --
The Comparison Test
We tested the Mercury Enertia ECO prop on a Mako 284 Center Console with a test weight of just over 8,900 lbs. (4,048 kg). With a pair of 300-hp Mercury Verados turning the Rev 4 propellers we set out on our first test to establish a benchmark.
Matching Speed-for-Speed
It quickly became clear that to make a proper comparison, we needed to do so at fixed speeds rather than fixed rpm settings, as we usually test boats. That would be the only way to properly assess the improvements, or lack thereof, of the ECO Prop. We noted that at speeds the Rev 4 was slightly more fuel efficient than at most settings.
ECO Efficiency Takes Hold. At 2500 rpm the two props produced almost the same speed -- 13.5 for the Rev 4 and 13.6 for the ECO prop. Here we recorded a gph fuel burn for the ECO prop of 9.80, a full 1.0 gph better than the Rev 4 at 13.5 mph burning 10.8 gph -- or, a 9.3% fuel efficiency improvement.
Efficiency Grows with Speed. From that point right up to the speed and rpm ladder the Enertia ECO prop was significantly more fuel efficient than the Rev 4. At two typical cruise speeds, 30 mph and 35 mph, let's see how each prop did--
30 mph Cruise. At a cruise speed of 30 mph our total fuel burn for both engines dropped from 19.4 gph with the Rev 4 props, to 15.8 gph with the Enertia ECO props. That's in improvement of 18.6%.
35 mph Cruise. At 35 mph our total fuel burn dropped from 22.8 gph to 20.8 gph for an improvement of 8.9%.
The apogee of the ECO efficiency curve appears to be at about 30 mph. As we approached WOT speeds of 54.7 mph for the ECO prop and 52.5 for the Rev 4, the disparity in fuel efficiency once again narrowed. At WOT, the ECO prop's advantage was simply +2.2 mph and only a very slight advantage in fuel consumption.
Time to Plane: Huge Improvement
22.7% in Greater Range
Greater fuel efficiency does not only result in money saved, but it also gives the boat far greater range. For example, at 30 mph our test boat will have a range with the Rev 4 prop of 317 statute miles. With the new ECO props, it will have 30 mph at a range of 389 statute miles for a 22.7% increase in range. (Calculated with a 228-gallon tank and a 10% fuel reserve.)
So What Have We Learned? Clearly, the low range shows little improvement, and the high range shows a little more, but not a significant savings. However, in the speed range where Mercury designed the new prop to perform, she came through with flying colors in our apples-to-apples test.
That means that our tests have indeed validated the goals of the Mercury Enertia ECO prop in saving boaters money by utilizing this higher efficiency prop. The more the boat gets used, the more money saved over the standard props -- and, we're talking real money here.
Bottom Line. For example, assuming fuel costs $5.00 per gallon (to keep the math simple), and the boat was run at 30 mph for 100 hours during a long season, the difference in fuel consumption would be 970 gal. - 790 gal. = 180 gal. 180 gallons x $5.00 = $900.
Greater Range. Many blue water fishermen we know carefully calculate the distance to the offshore canyons where they like to fish and often buy boats and engines based largely on the range of the boat. Now, these same fishermen will find themselves with a new set of options for simply the price of a couple of props.

New Alzheimer's Guidelines View Disease in Stages
The first new U.S. diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer's disease released in 27 years paint the disorder as a disease that occurs gradually over many years, starting with changes in the brain, then mild memory problems and finally progressing to full-blown dementia.
Released on Tuesday by the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association, the guidelines officially recognize mild cognitive impairment or MCI -- first described more than a decade ago -- as a precursor to the disease.
And they add a new research category known as preclinical Alzheimer's, the earliest stage of the disease when clumps of a protein called amyloid are just beginning to form in the brains of people who are otherwise healthy.
This preclinical stage about 10 years before dementia sets in is seen as the best place to intervene in the disease. It is why new imaging agents for PET scans, spinal fluid tests and other so-called biomarkers that predict Alzheimer's are becoming so important to researchers and drug companies.
The notion of different stages of the disease marks a stark contrast from the last set of guidelines published by government researchers in 1984, which only recognized the dementia phase of Alzheimer's -- in which people lose their memories and the ability to care for themselves.
"The biggest difference between then and now is we now think of this process as a continuum that started many years before we make the diagnosis of dementia," Dr. Guy McKhann of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, who worked on the new guidelines, told a media briefing.
Including earlier phases of the disease is important in advancing Alzheimer's research, said Dr. Reisa Sperling of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who led the group that wrote the guidelines for preclinical Alzheimer's.
"If we are ever really going to move toward prevention of Alzheimer's disease, we have to include people who don't yet have symptoms," Sperling said in a telephone interview.
Saying the 'A' Word
"I think the real piece of that is not being afraid to say the 'A' word (Alzheimer's)," said Sperling, who acknowledged that the diagnosis is frightening.
"I believe what changed in cancer 10 or 20 years ago is when people became less afraid of using the 'C' word (cancer). I think we have to move to the same thing in Alzheimer's disease," she said.
Sperling said being able to diagnose someone with preclinical Alzheimer's will allow for much earlier treatment and prevention efforts, in much the same way as people with high cholesterol take statin drugs to prevent heart disease.
Both Sperling and Marilyn Albert of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, who worked on the guidelines for mild cognitive impairment, said biomarker tests, while promising, are not ready for prime time.
"The reason we think they should not be used in the doctor's office now is there is not a lot of standardization. We don't have a very good sense of what we call a cutoff point -- of what is normal and what is not," Albert said.
In January, advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration rejected an Eli Lilly imaging agent, saying more data is needed before it can be approved for helping doctors rule out the presence of plaque linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Dr. John Ringman, an Alzheimer's researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, who was not involved in drafting the guidelines, said defining the earlier phases of the disease gives researchers a common vocabulary.
"It's really a language researchers can use to talk to each other," he said.
Ringman said this will help companies select patients in earlier stages of the disease for clinical trials.
Many researchers believe most Alzheimer's drugs have failed because they were tried in people whose disease was too advanced to do any good.

That's how long MLS fans must wait before finding out the identity of the league's 20th franchise, according to league commissioner Don Garber.
"We're making progress," Garber told reporters when asked about the potential of a new franchise in the New York area. "We continue - you've heard this for the last year - but we continue to negotiate with the city of New York, meet with local political folks and community leaders to get support for the stadium we hope to build in Flushing Meadow Park. We are deeply engaged with potential ownership groups, and we are hopeful to be able to announce a 20th team within the next three to four weeks, perhaps, so the timing's accelerated a little bit."
Garber then corrected himself, shifting the time frame.
"I should moderate that -- four to six weeks," he said, laughing as he added, "Got that? four to six weeks, not three to four."
Asked about the possibility of the reborn New York Cosmos becoming the league's 20th team, Garber deflected, declining to name any potential ownership group as a favorite.
"We have been very public in saying we support what the NASL is doing and wish them luck," he said. "We've got a close relationship with USL-Pro and we're really committed to getting a close, competitive business relationship with them, and we're hopeful that anyone who wants to make soccer more popular in North America is successful in doing so."
Garber also reiterated his position when questioned about a comment he had made on Twitter Tuesday, telling a reporter he believed 30 teams in MLS "seems like too much."
"It's hard to imagine we'd have 30 teams," he said. "The other major leagues are around that size, they've been around 100 years.
"Again, life's a long time, I don't know what'll happen when your grandkids are putting that mic in some other commissioner's face, but it seems to me by the end of the decade, we'll have more teams -- how many more I don't know, but 30 seems highly unlikely in any time period we can see."

SANDY, Utah – Blake Brettschneider scored his first goal with the New England Revolution midway through the first half but Real Salt Lake forward Alvaro Saborio responded with a pair of strikes either side of halftime as RSL secured a 2-1 win over the Revs on Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Brettschneider scored a fantastic goal to put the Revs (3-6-0, 9 pts.) ahead in the 22nd minute, but the lead was short-lived as Saborio pulled RSL (7-3-1, 22 pts.) level with an opportunistic finish in the 33rd minute. Saborio scored what proved to be the game winner in the 55th minute, getting on the end of a Javier Morales free kick.
Both sides had players ejected in the second half as RSL's Will Johnson (59th minute) and New England's Fernando Cardenas (81st minute) were both issued straight red cards.
Three days after securing a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rapids at Gillette Stadium there were several changes to the Revolution's lineup, including a switch from a 4-4-2 formation to a 4-5-1 alignment. Brettschneider served as the lone forward with Jose Moreno (R calf strain) unavailable and Saer Sène (illness) taking a place on the bench, while Lee Nguyen and Kelyn Rowe returned to the wings. On the backline, John Lozano replaced Stephen McCarthy in central defense.
Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis – fresh off his 100th career victory – came up big in the fifth minute to deny Fabian Espindola's breakaway chance. Morales sprang Espindola from 40 yards out but Reis charged off his line to stuff the Argentine's first effort before smothering the attempted rebound.
After absorbing pressure for the opening 20 minutes, the Revs stunned the Rio Tinto crowd by scoring on their first shot of the game as Brettschneider finished off a spectacular individual effort. Shalrie Joseph played Brettschneider into space down the left wing and the second-year forward cut inside past two RSL defenders before unleashing an unstoppable drive inside the far post.
The hosts pulled level just 11 minutes later when Saborio pounced on a loose ball inside the box. Kyle Beckerman's deflected right-wing cross fell to Saborio following a brief scramble and the Costa Rican forward made the most of his chance by lashing home from eight yards out.
Lee Nguyen tried to respond for the Revs in the 38th minute and forced RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando into a smart save at his near post, but the teams went into the halftime break all even at 1-1.
That changed 10 minutes into the second half when Saborio notched his second of the game to give RSL a 2-1 lead. From the right channel, Morales delivered a curling free kick to the back post, where Saborio eluded his marker and sent a deft header back across the goal and inside the post.
Just four minutes after taking the lead, RSL was reduced to 10 men as Johnson was issued a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Clyde Simms. The Revs responded by bringing on Cardenas and Sène, prompting a switch to a 3-5-2 formation.
Only a pair of fantastic saves from Rimando kept the Revolution from equalizing in the 71st minute. Cardenas forced the RSL 'keeper into a sprawling stop with an outside-of-the-foot shot from the top of the box, while Brettschneider's bullet header from the resulting corner kick was headed just under the crossbar before Rimando tipped it over.
Reis matched his counterpart in the 79th minute, stoning Saborio from close range as the Costa Rican bid for his hat trick with a clever chip from the left side of the box.
New England's comeback bid took a hit in the 81st minute when Cardenas was ejected following a collision with RSL defender Jamison Olave, although replays showed Olave's studs actually caught Cardenas on the top of his boot. Still, the Revs forced Rimando into two more saves in the dying minutes as Simms was denied from 35 yards in the 89th minute and Feilhaber was stuffed from close range in the first minute of stoppage time.
The Revs will be back at Gillette Stadium for their next two matches, beginning Saturday, May 12, when the Vancouver Whitecaps visit Foxborough. Kickoff for that match is set for 7:30 p.m.

Here's how it works now: Contestants have survived the Blind Auditions and weeks of Battle Rounds, just to make it to this moment — the Knockouts.
The rules are no steals, no saves, choose your own song, choose the right song and compete against your own teammate in the sudden death round, which leaves each coach with four contestants who will move on to the live playoffs. Sounds simple, right?
Did I mention the part about performing the song in front of the audience and your teammate? Yes, it became pretty intense and the camera was sure to capture the opponents' nervous looks.
Last night, coaches Adam and Shakira watched as some of their favorites competed against each other for a chance to move on to the play offs, and compete to become the voice.

Welcome to the fifth release of my Unix environment "AmiCygnix"! The version 1.3 includes a new display driver and eliminates some errors, which were still present in version 1.2. It fixes problems associated with dead keys and problems with keyboard layouts that do not conform to the ISO-8859-1 standard. This was enhanced again in 1.3 r2. New in 1.3 r2: -------------- * The support of dead keys was revised again. In 1.3 r1 this feature didn't work properly. Additionally all dead keys - except "DeadDialytikaTonos" - defined in the keymap files in "KEYMAPS:" are now supported. New in 1.3: ----------- * A new display driver, which opens its display on a separate screen. It is an enhanced version of the driver "picasso96clonewb", but offers a better performance, especially when moving windows and also while scrolling. But it needs twice the amount of RAM. This driver is now enabled by default. * The X server did not supported dead keys. Has been resolved. Support of key combinations with Alt key, however, is still implementented in the clients. This makes an update of these programs necessary. * Keyboard layouts that do not conform to ISO-8859-1 standard (eg Polish or Greek keyboards) are now better supported. This is also implemented in the clients. An update of the previously published packages becomes necessary. * The preferences programs "myX11Setup" and "myX11SetupLight" were revised and an Italian and a Swedish catalog has been added. Additionally it is now possible to switch on/off the experimental "quick transfer" mode. * Some programs had problems with file names containing umlauts or other special characters. Has been largely eliminated. * It was reported, that some systems freezed while opening the X server dis- play. The bug is fixed now. New in 1.2: ----------- * The whole system could freeze when the X server was finished (version 1.1 and 1.1r2). This should now be fixed. Additionally the clients are stopped more clearly. * The whole system could freeze, if the existing assigns were listed in a file requester. The problem was fixed and the affected binaries were revised. (thanks to Paolo Vanni!) * The preference editors "myX11Setup" und "myX11SetupLight" were revised and a spanish catalog was added. (thanks to Michael Christoph!) * The printing tool "lpr" did not open a status window anymore since version 1.1 of AmiCygnix. The window is opened again. Additionally it is now possible to stop the printing process. * The content of USB mass storage devices were not displayed in the file- requesters. Fixed now. (thanks to Thomas Blatt!) * It was possible, that the system mouse pointer was not removed in a X server display, so both mouse pointers were visible. Fixed now. New in 1.1: ----------- * Support of programs compiled for GTK+ 2.24 and GTK+ 3.x. Ports of current software projects are possible now. All new packages for AmiCygnix will depend on it. As an advantage these programs do have a better performance, for example because of the now working icon cache. * A new (experimental) display driver is included, which opens a X11 display in a workbench window: "picasso96wb". Compared to the older driver for this purpose "picasso96pip" (overlay windows), this driver uses standard intui- tion windows. Because of this, more than one display can be opened on the workbench at the same time. As a disadvantage the performance of the driver sometimes a bit low, but on the other hand moving windows is faster compared to the other drivers. * The X server and the display drivers were revised. The server can now be launched several times without problems. Especially with the new driver this is an interesting feature. But also with the other drivers applications can be opened on it's own screen without the desktop environment. * All new programs with an own directory in the AmiCygnix "Software" directory will have two start scripts: One for opening the application on the desktop (just like before) and a script, which opens the program in an own display. * With a special version of the settings editor "myX11Setup" you can select the display driver and the window manager for every application, which is launched with the new start script. Many thanks to Michael Christoph (Meicky-Soft)! * A new icon theme in AmgaOS 4.1 style is included. It is conformable to the "Freedesktop Icon Theme Specification". Nearly all icons of this theme were created by Martin Merz (Mason). Many thanks for the permission to include them in my package. * The workbench icons are now all in AmigaOS 4.1 style. Nearly all of them were created by Martin Merz (Mason) and Thomas Blatt (tommysammy). Also many thanks for this! * On every start of an applications the main dependencies are checked. If something is missing, it will be installed or the user will be noticed about the problem. * Version 1.0 of AmiCygnix could not be installed on partitions formatted with the filesystem JXFS. This is now solved. * Most of the programs and libraries used in this package were replaced by current versions. * Better support of the MIME system. * The X server supports a special "Quick Transfer" mode. Refer "AmiCygnix-en.guide" for this. * The X server includes now the MIT screensaver extension. What is X11? ------------ The X Window System is the base for the all graphical user interfaces on unix or linux systems. No matter which GUI-toolkit is used, on the lowest level works X11. The system is splitted into a server and in a client part, which is typical for unix like systems. The server is responsible for processing the graphics and handles the user events like mouse-moves or key-events. The client finally is an application (e.g. a paint-program or a text-editor), which is using this system for displaying his windows. What is the advantage to have this on an amiga-system? It makes it easier to port open source software to the amiga, because the sources for the GUI part can be compiled without any (or at least very few) changes. Installation ------------ 1. Doubleclick on the "Install" icon in the unpacked AmiCygnix package. Everything will be installed automatically. Please follow the instructions of the installer script. An already installed package of AmiCygnix 1.0 will be recognized and updated. An existing installation of AmiCygnix 1.1 will be overwritten. An installation of Cygnix prerelease cannot be updated. I recommend to install AmiCygnix from scratch to avoid problems. Please do not install by hand!! 2. Afterwards you should reset your amiga. Donations --------- If you like to support my work, you can make a donation by using Paypal: http://www.schwan-clan.de/amiga/Donate.html Thanks! Thanks to... ------------ ... Hans Verkuil for his initial port of X11R6.3 to OS 3.x ... more greetings in "Docs/AmiCygnix-en.guide"

I've had pangs to play this again lately, but tbh i'm having fun with starcraft, and my guild in warcraft are setting their sights higher than ever. We may even start live streaming our raids soon
That said, I did play a bit of the two limited classes (I got one of each free for my two accounts, mercedes and... demon hunter, is it?) it seemed pretty bizarre compared to what i was used to.
Posted 09 April 2013 - 03:00 PM
Levelled to 160, after 3 years of languishing in my 150s. Solo'd zakum for the first time too. 15% exp for about 15 mintues of fighting, and that thing is like 0 threat to a paladin xD
Posted 22 April 2013 - 08:57 PM
Late congrats, Shinji.
I'm still like, level 106 or some crap.
Posted 23 April 2013 - 11:15 AM
I am level 146 now on my bishop, but the last screenshot I took was when I hit 145. This was a big deal to me that I was levelling up since it took me forever to even hit third job (back when it was level 70) and a massive accomplishment when I hit 120, haha. I love how they changed the EXP limit and most of the events are pretty useful in levelling up.
Posted 03 May 2013 - 04:31 PM
Remember when this guy was challenging?
I love playing paladin these days. It's so easy. You actually can't die. I'm defence capped, with like 3k magic def. 1/1 hits for about 4k. It's like being a legit walking God Mode. xD
Edited by Theshinji, 03 May 2013 - 05:26 PM.

Theshinji: That makes me want to level mine up

Top Cars
Top Family Cars That Hold Their Value
Between poring over options packages, drivetrains and trim levels, the search for a new family car can be daunting. But throughout the arduous process of picking the right vehicle for the family, many car shoppers forget about depreciation - one of the largest costs of owning a new car. Fortunately, we're here to help, as we've compiled a list of today's top family cars that will hold their value - and the whole family - for years to come.
Buyers looking to minimize depreciation in their large SUV choice should look no further than Chevrolet's full-size Traverse crossover. In addition to taking home Kelley Blue Book's top honors among full-size SUVs that retain their value, the Traverse offers a powerful standard V6, a robust 5,200-pound towing capacity and highway gas mileage of up to 24 miles per gallon. And while we prefer the look of the Traverse's mechanically identical GMC Acadia twin, KBB says that no full-size SUV offers the Traverse's high-value position or its projected 41 percent retained value over five years.
Although it's unlikely that growing families need yet another reason to buy Honda's popular Odyssey, Kelley Blue Book has issued one by announcing that the Odyssey has the best resale value of any minivan. In addition to retaining more than 38 percent of its value over five years, the Odyssey offers a powerful V6, a stylish exterior and a host of family-friendly convenience features. But don't fret if you chose a Toyota Sienna - the Odyssey's arch rival - instead: KBB projects Toyota's minivan will be worth just a shade less than the Odyssey in 60 months' time.
In addition to being highly capable in the snow and other inclement weather, Subaru's midsize Outback station wagon offers a great SUV alternative for family car shoppers. With a host of standard features and a surprisingly frugal 170-horsepower four-cylinder that returns nearly 30 miles per gallon in highway driving, the Outback is already a good choice for many buyers looking to downsize from an SUV. Better yet, Kelley Blue Book says the Outback retains nearly 39 percent of its value after five years, making it better than any other wagon on the market - and putting it on part with some of the top midsize SUVs.
The Camry's inclusion on this list won't surprise any drivers who have owned one of the midsize sedans in the past. In addition to roomy, fuel-efficient family transport, the 2012 Camry offers a fresh new body style and a wide range of enticing engine choices from a fuel-efficient four-cylinder to a sporty V6 and even a miserly hybrid. Best of all, Kelley Blue Book says the Camry tops the list of midsize sedans that hold their value, beating out Honda's popular Accord by retaining nearly 37 percent of its original value over five years. KBB says the Accord and Nissan's midsize Altima are also high on the list of projected resale value, retaining slightly less than Camry after five years but slightly more after three.
According to Kelley Blue Book, the Highlander can boast the second best resale value of any midsize SUV after Toyota's own FJ Cruiser - but since we don't think the FJ is very practical for families, we've included the Highlander instead. Based on the Toyota Camry's chassis and available with four- or six-cylinder gasoline engines or a six-cylinder hybrid powertrain, the Highlander offers something for nearly everyone. The SUV also retains more than 43 percent of its value after five years, beating the next best midsize SUV - the Ford Edge - by nearly six points.
What it means to you: Depreciation is an important factor to consider when selecting your next family car.

Apart from many bug fixes, the most interesting, and useful part for me is that it now uses promises. Those familiar with python and twisted, or the JavaScript library mockikit, Dojo Deferred, or java.util.concurrent.Future might know these as deferreds or futures. jQuery is using promises, and not futures. They are similar but slightly different. It's a very commonly used technique in concurrency libraries now - so it is good that jQuery has hopped on board.
Since jQuery always returns a promise, you can now add callbacks even after you have done the call... or even change the callback later.
jQuery.getJSON( url ).error( errorCallback )
Pluggable ajax lets us test more easilyThe other great thing(from a testing perspective) is that jQuery now allows you to use plug in mock implementations. This lets you make a fake ajax implementation for your unit tests more easily.
This pluggable architecture could also lead to people making other plugins that act the same as the ajax interface. Which could come in handy if you had a strange requirement, or you want to develop an alternative communication method - and be able to reuse much of the jQuery code.
Subclassing jQuery objectAnother new area where jQuery helps extensibility, is the ability to subclass the jQuery object, and override methods - without it breaking the public interface to jQuery.
This is useful if you want to make a plugin that changes a few parts of jQuery for it's own uses, and not be worried that it will break 17 other plugins.
(function(globaljQuery, $) {
// private functions
$.fn.privateFunction = function(){ };
// overwrite an existing function without breaking other plugins
// which use the global jQuery function.
$.fn.popularExistingFunction = function(){ };
// Expose some public functions
globaljQuery.fn.myPublicFunction = function(){ };
})(jQuery, jQuery.subClass());
You can try the jQuery 1.5 beta 1 yourself if you want to have a play. I'm sure they will appreciate any bug reports.
