I feel I need to improve my brief, to save both yours and my time.
I expect some level of creativity and design.
The reference images are to illustrate my direction. Please don't copy the design with some minor adjustments. Also don't improve others designs if I decline them.
Things I look for in a design:
- Is it relatable to my brand ( a bird, lion, ... doesn't make sense).
- It should be unique and memorable.
- It should be balanced.
- It should be scalable, it should work as a small logo and big.
Before I came here, I have looked at buying abstract logos on graphicriver and other $5 site. I decided to pay $800 to have one designed.

I have generally found that before God is about to bring a change, victory or major breakthrough in something, that often we get ridiculously attacked in that area. The poo totally hits the fan. It gets soooo overwhelming that we wonder what the heck is going on...whether God has lost our address...forgotten our name...perhaps totally given up on us...because the fight is so fiery...so intense that we feel like we might just sink. But I have come to recognise that when the heat is on and I am finding it so hard to see...hard to stand...so hard to remain full of joy...so hard to keep faith filled...so hard to be confident about God's perfect plan for my life...that it's in those days...weeks...months...and seasons that I need to prove most faithful...most expectant...most enduring...most rooted in love...and most spirit led...because the very thing in which I'm being so majorly battered and bruised is the very area that I am going to see a crazy wow God breakthrough...I'm gonna see answered prayers beyond my wildest dreams...I'm going to see the crooked places become deliciously straight...and I'm going to see the love and goodness of God in a new light...in a MUCH greater, faith-fuelling way.
This very thing happened to me recently when I got a Word from God that I was going to be majorly blessed financially...immediately following the prophetic Word I experienced three months of such ridiculous lack that I almost got depressed...almost went over the edge haha...yet during the trial, in my heart I knew that somewhere in this fiery storm was a divine set up for my next season...that on the other side of the fight was the financial blessing that I knew was coming - but it wasn't going to JUST show up and be handed to me...I had to contend for it...I had to be willing to fight for it...my character had to be made mature enough to handle the blessing that was coming...my heart needing to recognise afresh who truly was the source of the blessing...and my faith needed a fresh place of growth...a fresh touch of the gift of faith.
And so when the financial breakthrough did come after that crazy season of oh so painful lack I had NO DOUBT that the blessing was from God. That He in His amazing love drenched wisdom had allowed (NOT initiated) the lack in my life in order to prepare me for the abundance. This filled me with fresh comfort on SO many levels. I was reminded that He is totally in charge. I was reminded that no matter how crazy the storm is, God is right there the whole time with us, championing us to come out stronger, maturer, more like His Son, humbler...and more yielded - so He can release all the juicy, delicious good stuff that He wants to lavish us with...longing for our characters to be able to handle the blessing. The book of James calls this faith under pressure:
Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. (James 1:2-4 MSG)
I was reminded that no matter how dark things get, or how permanent and irreversible the mess may apparently seem when the struggles come, that the storm will surely pass and God WILL surely show up...He will work all things together for our good. I was also reminded that I simply don't pray on the mountain tops like I pray in the valleys. Haha. No matter how much I might try and kid myself when the poo hits the fan and I'm in the wilderness I pray like crazy. When things are sweet in my life, I know it...my prayers just don't have the same level of intensity.
I also now recognise how the Spirit of God will start speaking to you about stuff before the breakthrough is coming. The Holy Spirit will begin to renew your mind about certain thought patterns and perspectives you hold that need to change - mind sets that need to be renewed before the breakthrough comes. Back in the day I used to hear people say "God's really been speaking to me about..." And I kinda didn't know what they meant. How did they know? I was getting convicted about loads of stuff all the time and so I wasn't really sure how you could identify one or two specific things that you felt God was saying to you above all the other stuff...I mean wasn't God speaking to you about everything? But see now I actually get it. It's like even with all the daily conversations you are having with Him, God stirs your heart up for a certain thing and you can't get away from it...you begin to sense a prompting from heaven, telling you that you need to pay attention to how God sees this particular issue...that you need to change your thinking in an area and line it up better to what the Word says.
And so with this whole financial struggle that I faced I found my heart pulling towards one area in particular. As the lack continued I remember my ever amazing Pastor talking about tithes and offerings at church. I remember literally being arrested and not being able to move...as he shared that tithes are what keeps the devourer (the enemy who steals from us) away from our stuff but it's the offering that we voluntarily bring to God that calls in the abundance. I was like DOHHHHH! How could I have forgotten that???! I suddenly realised that over the last four years as I'd lived by faith, trusting God to pay me my salary, that yes I had been completely provided for and even had blessings lavished upon me time and time again but I wasn't living in abundance. I realised that I had stopped bringing offerings before the Lord when bringing my tithes. I had obviously alway bought my tithes - that was non negotiable but I had felt that I simply couldn't afford a regular financial offering...so I had given myself as an offering month upon month year upon year as a substitute. Yet here God was challenging me to start bringing my monetary offering again. I felt He was saying that where He was taking me and what He wanted to give me couldn't be released until I tapped into the principle of bringing my seed offering regularly, trusting Him to be the one to provide for it. And so I did. I started giving beyond my means. I started blessing God and people in a way that I felt I had not been able to do for several years. I refused to count the cost and asked God to anoint me afresh with a heart of generosity.
And then pretty much immediately the financial breakthrough kicked in. Woohoo. Props to Jesus!! Yay...I do believe following the fiery fight for the blessing...after all the contending...after the renewal of my mind...once I had obeyed God - I believe I was perhaps a little more equipped to handle the blessing...I was a little more aware of the source of my every single breakthrough...A little more trusting of Gods timing...a little more experiencially knowledgable of Gods love and goodness...a little more alert to the sound of Gods voice...a little maturer...a little stronger...a little more faith filled. Aaah God is SO merciful and kind. It helps me no end to see time and time again that we have SUCH a beautiful, loving, giving, gorgeous Father in heaven who wants to lavish us with everything...absolutely everything...but that He is first and foremost after our hearts...and in the fiery places it's our hearts and characters that He is perfecting. He is faithful beyond belief. And no matter what we go through we will always come out winning...because God watches over the fulfilment of His Word in our lives to see it come to pass...and as painful, prolonging and purging as the process might be Papa always knows best. He always works it out. Good always comes out of it. We just have to trust and obey. x

All Hail The Liberal Media!
Buried deep in the bipartisan Iraq Study Group's report is a quite incredible assertion.
"U.S. military and intelligence officials have systematically underreported the violence in Iraq in order to suit the Bush Administration's goals."
"Systematically underreported" means "lied about". And remember, there were prominent conservative Republicans on the panel.
Why was this not covered more thoroughly? (In fact, more to the point, why was it virtually covered up?) Another example of the liberal media?
Maybe it's just old news.
Maybe the flaming commies at the Washington Post buried it in paragraph four of an article on page three because proof that Bush and his cronies were lying to the country was really a non-story.
Maybe Bob Woodward was on vacation that day.
(At least the San Francisco Gate bothered to report the story, thereby undoubtedly shocking the seven Republicans in the Bay Area.)
To my great surprise, Fox News didn't make mention of this fact, either.
How did the panel arrive at such a damning conclusion? They illustrated their point by referring to one day last July when U.S. officials reported 93 attacks or significant acts of violence. "Yet a careful review of the reports for that single day brought to light 1,100 acts of violence," it said.
Perhaps that estimate by Johns Hopkins of 650,000 dead that was 'not credible' according to the White House was, in fact, a hell of a lot more credible that their own numbers.
And perhaps if our country was made aware of that remarkable figure, we would be pulling out of Iraq right now.
All hail the Liberal Media!
Maybe it's just old news.
From early December, 2006. Yep. Old news.
And perhaps if our country was made aware of that remarkable figure, we would be pulling out of Iraq right now.
Jon, the majority of Americans believe the mission was accomplished long ago and now support a withdrawal. President Bush is the only thing obstructing the will of the American people.Posted by: American Pundit at April 11, 2007 11:32 AM
Is it possible that the liberal media mainly reports incidents that involve American soldiers?
Maybe they didn't report much about this "cover up" because they have found out that our deaths sell better than the enemies?
Lee - just because the news is old, doesn't mean it's not relevant. Dozens of quotes from the Iraq Study Group continue to be analyzed, recommendations speculated upon, conclusions argued about. But still, after all this time, nobody has really picked up on this story. That's what shocks and dismays me.Posted by: Jon Rice at April 11, 2007 11:47 AM
"they have found out that our deaths sell better than the enemies?"
So, ALL Iraqi's are our enemies?
Then our goal all along was to emaciate Iraq rather than emancipation from the rule of Saddam? Given the results that must have been it! Silly me.Posted by: KansasDem at April 11, 2007 12:13 PM
The Neocons have been beating the media for years with the claim that they are the dreaded "L" word. The media has been intemidated by these blow hards and are scared to do their jobs, that is reporting the real news not apeing the White House Communication Office. It does bother me that the reporting of the "Truth Optional" Administration has been lacking to say the least. Therefore I will not watch the "Fox Noise Channel" but will enjoy "The Daily Show" and "Countdown" on MSNBC. It is now less than 18 months till we can set a new course for America.Posted by: C.T.Rich at April 11, 2007 12:16 PM
Good article. While somewhat off-topic I simply must say that the news must be wrong about this:
"Al Qaeda claims deadly Algiers bombings"
It simply can't be true! After all we have Al Qaeda bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan so they can't possibly be operating elsewhere!
Like Lebanon:
"Leader of Lebanon's al-Qaeda cell pledges to strike America again"
I mean Al Qaeda can't be operating in either of those places, because we're fighting them in Iraq so they can't follow us home. At any rate I'm sure glad our military isn't stretched thin, just in case!Posted by: KansasDem at April 11, 2007 12:25 PM
They are too me.
If you would have preferred, I could have said "sells better than the death of Iraqi's." But the question is still valid: maybe Americans just don't care as much when "Iraqis" kill each other or die fighting against us as they do when an American soldier is killed.
"Therefore I will not watch the "Fox Noise Channel" but will enjoy "The Daily Show" and "Countdown" on MSNBC"
The only difference being that 2 slant "your" way and the other doesn't.
Oh, and just so you know, countdown and the daily show are opinionated commentary shows and other than which way they slant, they are no different than some of the FOX commentary shows.
Surely you weren't saying you get "real news" from those guys?
Is it possible that the liberal media mainly reports incidents that involve American soldiers? Maybe they didn't report much about this "cover up" because they have found out that our deaths sell better than the enemies? Posted by: kctim at April 11, 2007 11:36 AMA real question: Do you actually believe this statement or is it rhetorical? I mean this would show an absolute lack of understanding of even the most basic ideas of liberalism. Posted by: Dave1-20-2009 at April 11, 2007 3:01 PM
For an administration that continually says it has nothing to hide, this one sure tries to HIDE near everything.Posted by: David R. Remer at April 11, 2007 3:15 PM
So how surprised is anyone to hear this latest news??? Also the "appointment" in DC of a "war czar" ?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070411/pl_nm/iraq_afghan_usczar_dc_3Posted by: Sandra Davidson at April 11, 2007 3:36 PM
As with dealing with any other business, I think the bottom-line is worth considering as a reason for certain actions.
You know what a war czar is, right? Compensation for a short noodle in the Commander in Chief.Posted by: David R. Remer at April 11, 2007 6:02 PM
War Czar? Bush, Hadley, Gates and now yet another to be Czar… What next Cheney.Posted by: j2t2 at April 11, 2007 9:21 PM
We certainly regret we are unable to stop the bad guys from killing so many of their fellow citizens in Iraq. They no doubt will kill even more if we leave too soon.
Your link to "John Hopkins" doesn't work. I thought it was Lancet that made that estimate.Posted by: Jack at April 11, 2007 9:51 PM
Jack, when America can halt the murder, rape, and maiming of 100's of thousands of men, women, and little boys and girls in its own country each year, America may have a moral high ground for entering other nations and telling them to stop the violence.
Until then, we have a huge amount of moral obligation right here at home which should take precedence over what Iraqis do to each other.Posted by: David R. Remer at April 11, 2007 11:03 PM
You know what a war czar is, right? Compensation for a short noodle in the Commander in Chief.
LOL! I think this is actually a good idea. It's obvious nobody in he administration has any idea what they're doing in Iraq.
This is a tacit admission that our Iraq policy — four years into the war — is still up in the air. The new War Czar is going to have to come up with an Iraq policy where none exists right now — and he's going to have administration factions fighting him tooth and nail whatever he (or she?) decides.Posted by: American Pundit at April 12, 2007 1:22 AM
In addition to what you wrote, may I add,
I've been serving with the Red Cross recently,and returned about 3 weeks ago from Americus, Ga. and Enterprise, Ala. These areas were almost destroyed when tornadoes stroke both towns. 18 students were killed in Enterprise, and the entire hospital in Americus was all but destroyed. Two deaths were blamed on the storms there.
The conditions I witnessed from the after affects of the tornadoes did not prepare me for the conditions I saw for the homes that WERE NOT damaged.
To see good decent American Citizens living in such total poverty weighs heavily on my mind. I saw much the same when I was in Southeast Texas after flooding there. I am referring to people who work both day and night,care for their families and neighbors, keep their 'homes' clean, and frankly are people who attend church. These people don't live in houses that look anywhere near what my house looks like, and I imagine most of you.
These 'houses' looked like boxes. They were formed by standing four plywood boards, and placing a couple on top. Nails into the ends of the 'alls help hold the boards on top. The richer ones had a shorter plywood wall inside, with additional boards on top, and a little bit was the old fashion 'white - wash paint on them. Please understand - the plywood boards on top served as the roofs, the ones on the side serve as both inside and outside walls, and other than rugs, there is no floor. Unless one counts dirt. A small opening is cut into the front wall and serves as a door. It is 'locked' by replacing the cut-out piece back in it's place and sealed with duct tape.
To say that I almost wished more 'homes' were damaged by the weather would be an understatement.
At least then the Federal government would have gotten involved - or the state. Or even us, the Red Cross. As it was there was nothing anyone could do to help these people help themselves.
I know if we spent 80 billion dollars in our own country there would still be people living in these same conditions, but not as many.
Like the story of the starfish: A boy walking on the beach early one morning quietly threw all the starfish he saw back into the ocean. His father told him that no matter how many starfish he threw back into the water it would make no difference in the long run. His son picked up one more starfish, threw into the water, and told him father, "Maybe not, but it makes a difference to this one."
Before we start trying to tell other countries how to live, maybe we should take a long look in the mirrors of our own country.
I would like the media to cover kctims death.Posted by: the libertine at April 13, 2007 5:31 PM
It is odd that someone like kctim thinks, there is a liberal media.He looks at the glass as half-full,it is empty like his soul.Posted by: the libertine at April 13, 2007 6:09 PM

Bitcoin Meetup Recap 10.1.2017
Last Sunday, we had the pleasure of hosting the 3rd Bitcoin meetup at Diorio's on Baxters Avenue. The pizza restaurant held the welcoming atmosphere of the Highlands complete with the look of an Old Louisville home. This unique and casual combination helped us welcome bitcoiners, new and old, to a meetup that had two very interesting presenters.
The meeting began with our usual introductions. Much like the past meeting, a wide variety of experience was present in the room—from early adapters searching for the "next big thing" to late bloomers looking to get their feet wet. Soon after, meet up organizer and Bluegrass Crypto Senior Advisor, Tim Totten, guided us through the tools of the new Slack channel, #Cointucky. (Anyone looking for more details on the Slack Channel can email email@example.com.)
The first presenter was VR pioneer and local entrepreneur, Andrew Prell. His project and discussion topic was Silica Nexus, a cross-platform, cross-reality virtual universe. This universe proves interesting because it is stored on the Ethereum blockchain and has a virtual economy made up of ERC-20 based NANOs that combine to make resource bots. These resource bots allow you to mine precious materials in the universe. These will also be tradable goods in the game and on digital currency exchanges, allowing for a fully interactive experience. Players will be able to play in this universe across all platforms in real-time and earn real-world value through these liquid NANOs. Indie developers will also be able to contribute worlds and assets to this universe, and be incentivized. This allows talented developers who can't get on board with high-budget gaming corporations to showcase their work on the biggest stage. Andrew explained that they will be having ICO launch parties in over 60 cities worldwide, on New Year's Eve—not a bad idea to bring in the New Year with an ICO. For more info on Andrew, the Silica Nexus project, and the ICO, click here. (Andrew is also one of our advisors and Bluegrass Crypto works as their Crypto Logic Team.)
The next presenter is University of Kentucky finance lecturer and former Wall Street employee, Shane Hadden. His project was Provide, a blockchain based lending platform that would solve some of the biggest problems that loans face. One being that borrowers have no privacy when filing for loans. They are promoted to give up personal information multiple times. These are also stored with companies like Equifax, who was recently hacked for 143 million accounts. The second problem was that lenders actually get little data on borrowers. Shane plans on using Provide to fix that with three solutions. He would first build a decentralized data furnishing platform on the Ethereum blockchain. Users would build a profile that is stored on the blockchain rather than centralized servers, like Equifax. Shane would then build the lending market. A central location that borrowers and lenders could come together. Finally he wishes to make the PVD token. This ERC-20 token will grant access to use the lending platform. There will only ever be 20 million, making them extremely finite compared to other tokens. Shane plans on having an ICO early next year.
After rounding up yet another successful meetup, our future as Cryptocurrency entrepreneurs seems even brighter. If you are interested in attending our next gathering and learning vital information on how you can expand into the world of crypto, visit our website!

I thought's Gonzo's GIF poetrypost was a lot of fun so i thought i would try one, only this will be where we try to have a conversation using only gifs
The rules are very simple. I will post a GIF with words and someone needs to reply to that post with another gif with words that might be a logical response to what the other person is saying. So for example if i have...
the next person might respond with
That's just an example. Now since the idea is to have a conversation gifs without words are discouraged but if you have one that might be a natural response to what the person in the previous gif says, throw it out. So for our buddy Frieza calling us stupid for finding something racist, i might get sad and reflect that with this gif
So we'll see how it goes and see what kind of conversation we can get out of our gif collections. I'll start things off with this one....

The Atlanta Falcons fell in overtime 34-28 to the Patriots in Super Bowl LI last night at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Losing in the Super Bowl is always tough, but this particular loss was made more demoralizing by the fact that the team gave up a 28-3 lead to lose in overtime. The Falcons will now go down in history for allowing the biggest comeback ever in the Super Bowl.
Things didn't get any better for the team's coaching staff in the aftermath of the loss as according to a report in the Atlanta Journal Constitution, several coaches ended up getting stuck in the upper reaches of NRG Stadium without an elevator coming to take them down to the locker room. Among them? Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and defensive coordinator Richard Smith. From Jeff Schultz's blog:
"When the game ended, the assistants stepped out of their coaching box and went to the elevators. As a general rule, elevators are held for coaches before media — or fans seated in luxury boxes — can use them. But that wasn't the case this time. The elevators were on other floors taking fans.
After more than five minutes, the coaches were told it might be best to walk down. So they descended a staircase and soon found themselves walking in an NRG plaza with fans, outside of concession stands, as several New England fans were shouting and celebrating their team's win.
Schultz goes on to explain that the coaches then decided to make their way back to the elevator where they had to wait another 20 minutes before being able to get a ride down to the locker room. It seems that Murphy's Law came into effect for the Falcons organization starting in the fourth quarter last night, that is to say "anything that can go wrong will go wrong."

I'll keep this brief, because we should all just be drawing.
The above is an illustration by Frank Dormer. His workshop at this year's NESCBWI conference put the work back in workshop. Entitled, 'Think before you draw', he posed a very simple phrase and objects and asked us to draw for just a few minutes. Then we shared. Simple, right? Nope. Oh, it was fun to stretch my brain and think of a way to show something with really tight parameters. What will everyone else draw? What is unexpected? How can scale and environment tell the story? How can I do this without drawing a face on my egg? Yes, you had to be there. And if ever you see a workshop available to you with Frank at the helm, do sign up! He was warm and observant and planted little seeds in all of us in how to look at things differently.
Want to hear more about the conference? I blogged about it here the other day. I'll blog about it here tomorrow too.

With softball and baseball teams using Harold Miller Memorial Park last summer for the first time, Shreve has put more work into the park through grant dollars and volunteer work by residents.
In addition to hosting the teams on the Shreve fields, Councilwomen Melissa Patrick and Chris Bender decided to ask businesses to sponsor banners for the outfields, with the first sponsor signing on in March.
Mast Pharmacy was the first business to turn in its sponsorship check of $150 for the year, and it was on display before the season was over.
By June, the parks committee suggested the village purchase two new soccer nets for the park out of the village's donation fund.
At the time, Bender said she was still looking for more donation opportunities from companies, and suggested sending letters to the businesses in order to spur ideas for new money.
Many volunteer groups and residents donated services to beautify the park as well, including late Councilwoman Carrie Brown, who died Oct. 17. As part of her passing, she donated 200 privet hedge bushes to the village. Bender said they will be planted in Harold Miller Memorial Park to function as a property line separation between the park and the nearby residences in the area.
Mayor Bruce Biggs said the park also was improved thanks to Cub Scout Pack 71, which planted three trees and flower bulbs as part of a service project.
Throughout the year, the baseball and softball teams improved the fields since they call the Harold Miller Memorial Park their home field. Patrick said about $1,375 was put back into the fields through miscellaneous landscaping, fixing and repairing fences and posts and have also planted grass seed around the park.
Patrick said the No. 1 priority before next season is to level out the outfields and to create additional parking spots in the park.
By the end of the year, the village also was awarded a $10,894 grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources that will go toward new playground equipment.

Dog attack caught on tape
Posted By elaine on March 28, 2011
A Florida news station tells the story of a little dog attacked in it's own yard by big dogs that broke into the backyard and it was all caught on tape.

I'm sorry but why did you post this? Its bad enough only negative things are posted by the media about Pit Bulls that you are going to keep the fire going. This happened because of a neglectful owner and I am tired of Pits being put in the spotlight as killers all the time. My pits have always been loving, gentle, sweet animals and I am scared of BSL because of bad owners and people in the media causing it to happen. It reminds me of when Hitler tried to remove and entire race of people. For crying out loud, it was wrong then and its wrong with NOW!
Thank you for posting this for everyone who is in denial about pit bulls. As long as there are people who try to make this breed a pet, sadly, there will be attacks to read about it.
And sadly its ignorant people like you that is the majority of the problem. Anyone who knows Pit Bulls knows what kind of pets they are and hopefully no one decides that whatever pet that you own should be listed on BSL. I am an older person and I have had Pit Bulls as pets all my life. I have never had a problem with the breed. The bad behavior has to do with irresponsible owners, Dog fighting, Animal Abuse and the lack of education of the breed. It makes me sick that its okay to kill off the breed rather than to do the things necessarily to stop the problem. Ban Dog Fighting, Make Animal Abuse a Felony, AND EDUCATION!
Sandy, I'm not ignorant — I'm highly educated and know and read quite a lot of data about pit bulls. (I do this about every thing I speak out about before I speak/write about it.) The fact is that UNLESS AND UNTIL we solve the problems with this breed, pit bull pets should not be living among us.
You can talk until you're blue in the face about the good pits you have known, and look forward to the day that issues with breeding, handling, etc. have been addressed; but that won't change the fact that they regularly turn on people, and other people's pets.
Elaine, I'm not unenlightened — I know there are possibly pit bulls that are not vicious. The problem is, we don't know which are and which aren't, do we? In the last city I lived in, two pit bulls attacked the parents of their owners. The dogs were living at their house while their owners were out of town. They had done this for every vacation for years, and were known to love the people they attacked. No one could believe it. Everyone swore the pets were not vicious. That's the problem, isn't it? You don't know until it's too late.
Why would a sane person take that chance? I don't want anyone taking that chance with MY life — or the life of my loved ones.

At a New York press event on Wednesday, LG unveiled its latest marquee phone, the LG G7. As a predecessor to the G6, the G7 is packed with a number of updates including a larger 6.1-inch display, twice the amount of internal storage (from 32 to 64GB) and the Snapdragon 845 chipset.
But the G7's cameras also received some upgrades. Not only has LG bumped up the megapixel count on all three lenses (two in the back and a selfie camera), but they come with a few tricks as well.
One standout feature is its emphasis on artificial intelligence. Companies use this term liberally and it can mean a bunch of different things depending on who you're asking. But these features fold into LG's whole "ThinQ" smart devices branding.
The camera can identify more than 1,000 objects and images, recognize scenes as being in eight different categories and apply 18 kinds of photo settings. So if you're snapping photos of a cityscape, a flower, a sunset or whatever, it'll recognize it and adjust accordingly.
LG also made it more straightforward to snap portrait photos, whether or not you're using the rear- or front-facing shooter. Though you technically could have taken these bokeh-style photos with blurred background on the G6 using manual configurations, with the G7 you just have to tap to the mode and snap a photo.
Lastly, the G7 can recognize when you're in a really, really dark environment once you launch the camera. It will then advise you, with a blinking icon, to turn on its low-light feature to brighten your photo before you snap the shutter.
For more information on the phone, check out CNET's LG G7 review, and see how it compares to other Android phones.

Through A Wall is streaming today on bandcamp and physically released on 26 October on Dine Alone & Big Scary Monsters
Canadian post-hardcore heavyweights Single Mothers return today with the surprise release of their ferocious new album, Through A Wall, on Dine Alone Records & Big Scary Monsters. The album, the band's third, is streaming today as part of a feature on Noisey and is available to stream / purchase on Bandcamp. Physical variants of Through A Wall are available for pre-order HERE and will be released on 26th October. The album will be available on all digital outlets this Friday 7th September.
"On Through A Wall I tried to blend my sense of dark humour with the reality of what I see when I look around me," says frontman Drew Thomson. "In a way it made the songs sad and funny and hopefully interesting - but not super 'jokey'. While so much dark shit is happening every day and in this era, I understand the influx of positivity in music and how that is important. Whenever I try to write a positive song though, it almost always sounds fake and contrived. Sometimes you gotta face what's happening and just laugh at it, or at least roll your eyes until it's over. That's about as close to 'positive' as I get."
WATCH: Single Mother's 'Dog Parks/Switch Off' video on YouTube
Embed code
The band have also shared a double video, directed by Vanessa Heins & Stef Delmedico for the tracks 'Dog Parks' and 'Switch Off', the latter of which was released as a standalone single last week.
What the US press are saying about Single Mothers:
Combining scab-peeling punk with speak-shout vocals reminiscent of the Hold Steady, this band of townies from London, Ontario, ruthlessly skewers hypocrites, McSweeney's snobs, drunk assholes, and God, just to name a few.
[Thomson's] lyrics touch on relationships, poverty, and ambition with a blunt poetry that would seem voyeuristic if it weren't so relatable...a pitch-perfect balance of sincere vulnerability and tongue-in-cheek egotism
Single Mothers are back, boiling over with rage, and we couldn't be happier.
Single Mothers live and die by post-hardcore, taking influence from forefathers that range from Quicksand to indie-rooted acts like Cursive, creating a version that is singularly theirs and singularly incendiary.
Through A Wall was recorded with the core duo of frontman Drew Thomson, producer/percussionist Ian Romano (Attack In Black, Career Suicide, City & Colour) and a rotating cast of musicians, and these 14 songs revive the raging sound of the band's earliest output. While Single Mothers' 2017 LP, Our Pleasure showcased poppier sides of Thomson's songwriting, he has since found a separate outlet for those inclinations in his solo project The Drew Thomson Foundation. As a result, the album is packed top to bottom with blistering riffs, breakneck tempo shifts, and mosh-ready breakdowns, channeling the intensity of the group's live performances.
Starting in the van while Single Mothers toured across North America in 2017 with Touche Amore, Gouge Away, and Little Junior, Thomson traded demos with Romano over email and recorded vocal takes on a USB microphone. After returning to his home in Hamilton, he completed the writing of the album while powering through its songs in a series of fiery studio sessions. Pitchfork have highlighted the band's combination of "scab-peeling punk with speak-shout vocals reminiscent of The Hold Steady," yet few may be prepared for Through A Wall's volcanic eruptions of vocal cord shredding.
Thomson's lyrics remain as candid as always, while infused with introspection from a newfound form of clarity in his personal life. "This was definitely the hardest album I've ever written lyrically, but also the quickest," he explains. "It's the first Single Mothers record I've made since getting sober and not having booze as a crutch to lean on for inspiration. I feel like I've hit a turning point in my life, so it's a lot more of a personal album."
Through A Wall begins this reflection on opener 'Marathon', as Thomson sings, "the messes I've made became your favourite stains." First single 'Switch Off' continues this process of accountability with an epiphany that shedding inner demons is a lifelong effort. "24/7" describes the draining routine of touring and recording, while 'Big Scar' paints an alternate reality of becoming a cool dad with winking references to Pavement, Crass, The Replacements, and a "Black Flag shirt under your day job drab." The melancholy sway of 'Stoic/Pointless' tells a tale of failing relationships with a hopeful resolution, while 'Across The Couch' includes a different kind of break-up as Thomson nods to his former hometown: "London always looked so pretty/But I don't miss it anymore." In the end, he gazes inward at his need to get clean, realizing he was "headed straight towards the wall" with "nobody left to call."
Since their formation in 2008, Single Mothers' only constant is change. With a perpetually revolving line-up that has even seen Thomson banished from the band, they have now settled into a Mark E. Smith and The Fall inspired formula where any collaborator is welcome to join him for the ride. "The door is always open," says Thomson. "We just have a few guidelines: if the songs are good and you're a friend, you can play with the band any time. Once a Mother, always a Mother."

"Every hand made item carries a bit of the makers soul. I think everyone should have something handmade from someone who loves them."-Audrey Kerchner
I always love reading about pattern designers and who they are and why they knit and design. It truly is inspiring and encouraging to start or continue creating hand made works of art!!
Rhonda has just finished this wonderful Coloured Diamonds Cowl designed by Audrey Kerchner. The pattern is available through Audrey's Ravelry store here.
I would rate this pattern of beginner difficulty and is ideal for beginning knitters who want to venture into color work, without getting into fair isle or color stranding just yet. It requires basic knitting knowledge, and the slip stitch and basic color changes are practiced. This piece is also knit flat and seamed together.
Rhonda used two skeins of Classic Alpaca's Baby Alpaca DK in Oregon Brown Timber and two skeins of Classic Elite's Liberty Wool in Firestreak with size 8 needles.
The finished product is being featured at our local yarn store. Come by and have a look and feel the super soft baby alpaca in action!
We are happy campers with this real gem!
If you guys decide to cast on the gorgeous cowl, let us see it! Post it on our Facebook page or post your projects on instagram tag us @theyarnattic #theyarnattic #coloureddiamondcowl
And as always… Happy knitting and crocheting!!!

Choices That Work for iPhone
Free Azul Arc iOS Version 1.1 Full Specs
Publisher's Description
From Azul Arc:
Choices that Work by Mannington Commercial is the floorcovering industrys first mobile application designed to serve designers process. Using a smart phones integrated camera and scanning technology, the app integrates with Mannington sample books to show coordinating collections and enable sample orders. Sampling is a core service of the industry, serving the design process and driving sales for manufacturers. With an increasing number of designers using smart phones driven by applications, the industry should flex to use new technologies to serve established processes. By simply scanning the bar code printed on a Mannington sample book, a designer can immediately see coordinating patterns and colors across Mannington carpet collections and hard surface products. It also scans individual products to order samples immediately, without a designer having to write down product information or take the sample book back to her desk to call or email a sales representative. Notification is immediately sent to the appropriate sales representative, for follow up with the designer to ensure the highest levels of customer service. The program performs two valuable functions. Aiding the sampling process through simple scanning of the bar code printed on a Mannington sample book, the program allows designers to see coordinating patterns and colors across Mannington carpet collections and hard surface products. It also allows designers to scan individual products to order samples immediately, without having to write down product information or directly contact a sales representative. Showing coordinating products and ordering samples and so enhancing sample books in design firms product libraries, the App uses existing technology that is already owned by designers (iPhone, Android and Blackberry smart mobile phones). Mannington Commercial offers a wide range of flooring solutions all from a single point of contact so its customers need never compromise between styling, performance, sustainability and customer service. The companys range of choices that work in carpet and hard surface categories is unparalleled, and its sustainability platform is built upon innovative measures to close the recycling loop, reduce waste streams, reuse waste materials and continue its leadership position in energy efficiency. http://manningtoncommercial.com.

We all want to ensure our businesses are compliant, following the letter and spirit of the law as best we can. That said, worker classification compliance comes with it's own set of problems—the Canadian Revenue Agency is continuously adding new policies and regulations, new systems for identification and has begun cracking down on businesses that aren't following those procedures. With so much change and so little time, how can businesses keep up?
Worker classification compliance was already a great challenge before a wave of new changes began to occur—finite differences between two classes of worker, often with overlap, made it challenging to tell the differences to begin with for some. Many companies simply made mistakes in their classification, only to find themselves in heaps of legal trouble later because of it. We know that classification is a critical issue, but in many cases it's often easier said than done. Luckily, there are some ways to remain compliant, though some prove more difficult than others.
Research, Research, Research
The place to start is reading the Canadian Revenue Agency's strict guidelines about the differences between employees and contractors. If you're ever unsure which direction to head in, the guidelines are a great primer and offer a lot of broad advice. Of course, that brings about another problem. For those who have already grasped the broad advice and are now searching for more specific definitions to ensure worker classification compliance, the task can be a bit trickier.
Some businesses have had success perusing legal blogs that discuss business laws. These blogs tend to offer their own opinions and advice, as well as help translating some of the denser material more plainly. By the same token, there are legal libraries and resources available not just through the government's website, but across the web as well. However, as with much of the information we read online, it's best to take it with a grain of salt and seek out alternative perspectives.
Many large businesses are able to hire full legal teams to help them sort issues out, or can afford expensive training for their human resources and payroll departments to ensure that everyone is up to speed. It's not a bad option—just one that isn't always viable for everyone. Small businesses and startups often have worker classification compliance to consider as well, but lack the resources to tackle the problem head on. That's where a professional employer organization can come in handy.
Consult a PEO
Especially in an era where independent contractors are used more frequently, it's no surprise that many companies are running into classification issues. This is one of the reasons professional employer organizations (PEOs) are becoming so prominent. As experts in not just worker classification compliance, but labour laws, payroll regulations, and more, they're constantly staying up-to-date on any changes or adjustments, no matter how minute. This means they're a step ahead of almost all other industries. Regardless of the province, territory, or region you're working within, they know what you need in order to remain complaint and can provide it easily, helping you and your team understand it along the way.
When you partner with a PEO, you get a legal mind with a specific expertise in employee and employer relations—one who understands your budget and your needs, but will never sacrifice compliance to meet them. While companies maintain full oversight, PEOs take care of the most frustrating compliance issues on their behalf. That means more time focusing on operations and less time focusing on legality.

Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, Ill.
This paper describes an experimental study on the dry friction-creep phenomenon. The study has been carried out on a test-rig. The simulated wheel has an elliptical area of contact similar to the actual locomotive wheel and is made of a 1070 plain carbon steel. The testing was conducted with variable contact stresses up to approximately 200,000 psi and equivalent speeds of approximately 5 miles per hour. The results of the test show that all the different creep-adhesion curves obtained by changing the normal loads can be reduced to one single dimensionless curve. This can be achieved if the actual nominal area of contact experimentally measured, is introduced in the corresponding expressions. A law of constancy of the product of the creep times the area of contact for dry, clean contact surfaces and a constant value of adhesion and normal load is presented.

BANJA LUKA, Bosnia (Reuters) - The head of Bosnia's autonomous Serb region rejected a summons by the national chief prosecutor on Tuesday, saying he would not travel to Sarajevo for questioning over his violation of a ruling by the politically-divided country's highest court.
Milorad Dodik defied a ban imposed by the Constitutional Court last weekend when he held and won a referendum on whether his region should mark "Statehood Day", a national holiday opposed by the region's Muslim Bosniaks and Catholic Croats.
Many fear Dodik is preparing a secession vote, which could destabilise Bosnia and the entire region two decades after a war in which Serbs and Croats carved ethnically "pure" enclaves out of Bosnia with the backing of their kin in neighbouring Serbia and Croatia.
The court had blocked the referendum, saying the holiday, which marks the Bosnian Serbs' 1992 secession from multi-ethnic Bosnia, discriminated against Bosniaks and Croats since it coincided with a Serbian Orthodox religious festival.
Dodik said he feared for his security in Sarajevo after statements by some Bosniak leaders which he perceived as threats.
"I will not go to the prosecutor's office in Sarajevo but I am ready to give a statement in any other judiciary office in the Serb Republic," Dodik told a news conference.
His refusal to comply with the summons could force the prosecutor to issue an arrest warrant, which could be difficult to enforce in the autonomous region, where the writ of Sarajevo is weak.
"If Dodik fails to comply with a summons, and fails to justify it, the prosecution will then issue an arrest warrant," said Bosnia's Security Minister Dragan Mektic, a Bosnian Serb.
The prosecutor's office declined to comment. Bosnian Serb war veterans said they would not allow Dodik to be arrested.
The Bosnian Serbs voted overwhelmingly in favour of "Statehood Day", remembered by many of Bosnia's citizens as the trigger for three years of ethnic war that cost 100,000 lives.

Change is the essence of life.Nothing is permanent, except change.
As the new look Indian Men's Volleyball team tries to make it's presence felt at the Asian Volleyball Championship in the historic Azadi Sports Hall in Teheran.
Coach Venkatesan and his assistant S T Harilal both have their hands full.The new looking Indian team for the ongoing Asian Men's Volleyball Championship has TEN debutants.Except of Captain of the team Prabhagaran and the universal Jerome Vinith who have been members of the Indian Men's Volleyball team which finished FIFTH at the Incheon Asian Games in 2014,the rest of the other players have come up through the junior ranks.
A quintet of them,Captain Prabhagaran,Universal Manu Joseph,Libero Prabhkaran, attackers Rohit Rana and Sohan Kumar have been members of the Indian Railways Volleyball team which won the World Railway Games title last month in Belarus.
At the ongoing Asian Championships,India lost to the Aussies and the Qatari's by an identical scoreline of 3-0.Against Qatar at the Incheon Asiad India lost 3-0 in the group stage and beat them 3-2 when it mattered most,i.e. for the match to decide the fifth and sixth place.
Last month India participated in a couple of invitational events,one in Seychelles which we won and the Ramadaan Four nation invitational event at Doha where we lost to all the other participating teams.Just around the time the other participating teams,vis-a-vis,Australia,
Iran,Japan,China and Korea were playing against quality opposition,courtesy World League-2015 with encouraging results,we were completing notions.The Volleyball Federation of India axed TEN players who were at the Incheon Asiad exactly a year ago in the August of 2014 for reasons beyond my comprehension.To be infusing fresh blood is acceptable,but in a systematic and time tested way.Of course,not to belittle the players who have made it to Teheran.They have had some outstanding performances at the National Championships which would have impressed the selectors.
Two new setters in Yeshwant Kumar of Hyderabad Income Tax and Rokhade of Karnataka have to ensure the attackers keep firing all the cylinders.
Transition play is the problem area for Team India.Having to fight for the Ninth & Tenth places at Teheran,Coach Venkatesan and his aide S T Harilal have to motivate this young team to perform well and gain some valuable experience,for India will host the AVC Cup in 2016.The AVC Cup is for the top eight teams of the ongoing Asian Championship.India will be there,but not as a top eight finisher,but as host.On the organisational front the Volleyball Federation of India has been making steady progress,having hosted the Women's Grand Prix at Chennai in1998,the Junior Men's World's at Vishakapatnam (2005),again in Pune (2009),the FIVB Chennai Challenger Beach Volleyball event twice and quite a few Asian Championships.
On the playing field the progress of the teams has been unsatisfactory.The tage line of India Tourism is Athithi Devo Bhava, meaning Guest is God.True to the adage will we be like, always good hosts,letting the guest win,give us encomiums and depart till we meet next time.Sayonara…… AVC Cup 2016 at Raipur,next stop.

Grocery shopping CX, and retailing in general, is constantly evolving. Many shoppers no longer drive to a nearby store and buy what they need. Instead, most things can be ordered online, and that has impacted the entire retail sector that is being challenged to offer more shopping, mobile, payment and convenience options.
The supermarket/grocery business has already felt some of these changes. Going forward, however, the pace of change is going to pick up. That means that services like same-day delivery, which numerous regional chains as well as Costco, Amazon's Whole Foods, and Amazon itself offer in select markets, are likely to expand. In addition, other ideas that make shopping easier will be implemented,
What trends are coming?
More shopping options: This year, Costco has added both same-day delivery through Instacart and two-day delivery for orders from a limited number of items (following the trend set by retailers such as Amazon). In addition, Wal-Mart and Target tested curbside pickup and various other methods to make ordering online and picking up in store easier.
Mobile payment at checkout: This is already being done at progressive retailers. Expect other retail chains to follow with some offering more than one mobile payment choice.
More eating and drinking in stores: Getting people to leave their houses has become harder. That makes expanded food selection, coffee bars, beer and wine bars, and even restaurants a major draw. Expect more chains to follow the model used by Whole Foods, Woolworths and Sainsbury's where getting a bite to eat and/or something to drink is part of the overall, grocery shopping CX journey.
More meal kits: While companies like Blue Apron may have created a market for meal kits, supermarkets are well-positioned to offer their own take. That means that chains will do everything from offering recipe cards in stores next to the needed ingredients to selling dish ingredients as a package.
This is a growing market that's based on convenience. Supermarkets can in some ways be more convenient than a dedicated meal delivery service because they offer the ability to act impulsively and walk home with what you need to make your desired meal.
More access to product information: The internet has made consumers more discerning. People expect more information because information of all types is easier to come by. Retailers in the food space have added scannable codes to nearly 15,000 packaged items that bring grocery shoppers to a website containing detailed information about that item.
The customer is key
Amazon has largely led the way in prompting retailers globally to put their customers first. The online giant has relentlessly moved the bar when it comes to convenience and pricing across a variety of retail areas. Now that it has its sites set on food – both through its own Amazon Fresh service and Whole Foods – expect it to push other grocery chains to be equally innovative with their own grocery shopping CX.
Other organisations such as Starbucks are embracing immersive technology to deliver a great customer experience.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. - Prosecutors say a speedboat was zigzagging at a high rate of speed on a British Columbia lake in 2010 before it crashed into a houseboat, killing a man.
Leon Reinbrecht is accused of being the driver and is on trial in a Kamloops, B.C. court, charged with criminal negligence causing the death of Ken Brown and criminal negligence causing bodily harm.
Crown counsel Neil Flanagan says Reinbrecht, his son and his son's girlfriend were on the water after post-Canada Day fireworks and were "travelling in a back-and-forth manner" when the collision occurred at about 11:15 p.m.
He says Reinbrecht's vessel penetrated the houseboat's main galley, the force of which threw Brown inside the speedboat's bow.
Christie Nelson, whose family owns a local cabin, says she was sitting around a bonfire with friends and heard the speedboat's motor go from a low-rumbling noise to a high-pitched whirring noise as its engine left the water.
The Crown expects to call 50 witnesses during the trial, which is slated to run into mid-March.
"In my mind, it was something that was unusual. It was a really dark night and it was unusual to have a boat travelling so fast for the conditions, says Nelson.
"I exclaimed to my friends at the fire, 'Why is this person going so fast? They're going too fast. They can't see anything.'" (Kamloops This Week)

It was a dark and cold night at the Gates house. The lights were off, the billions of dollars rustling in the vault, and the three McDuck brothers were resting in their beds. On the third door from the right at the top of the 20th floor Mr. Gates had designated for his bedroom, the crisp, dark sound of a voice could be heard from the fireplace. Gates was startled by this, and woke up. "Boys? Is that you playing with me money again? Don't touch me millions" he said as he stumble, merely half awake and half still asleep, dreaming of his fortune. The voice spoke again, louder this time, sending shivers right down the kashmir pajama suit he wore to bed each night. As his eyes widened he noticed a faint ball of light, yet there was no source for the light. This astounded him. Within seconds he nearly had it trademarked only to be interrupted by the sudden trimmer send through the room. A voice crept around the room like a moth on a light. "Ooooo, Mr. Gates!" it said, "I am the ghost of Microsoft future. I warn ye, don't make number 9! It be cursed!". The first thing that went through Mr. Gates' mind was the billions he could make off of 9, but this unsettling news brought such fear upon him, he knew better. "I be but a entrepreneur, I love me McDuck kids and me operating system as if it were me own kin. If it be so, so be it". With a "bobbedy" here and a "boppedy" there, Microsoft 9 was sent away to where it would never be seen again. The ghostly presence had disappeared before Bill could say another word. William stumbled back to his bed, suddenly feeling as tired as he had felt when he awoke, and collapsed, gently mumbling before he fell asleep, "You can bet your willy there shall be no 9". The End. _by Travis Crowder

It Pays To Look Up At The Sky
Every time I go outdoors I look high up into the sky – Alway's have and alway's will – and every time I walk long walks I look down at the ground – alway's have and alway's will !
Why you may ask do I look down at the ground?
That's where the lost money is!
And why do I alway's look up to the sky?
That's where the sign's in the heaven's are?
Especially the night sky!

A local church aims to show the true spirit of Christmas by taking in dozens of people on December 25.
Melton Mowbray Baptist Church will be providing Christmas dinners to people who feel lonely or isolated on the big day, an extremely selfless gesture offered for the past nine years.
Last year 73 guests and helpers enjoyed a traditional meal of turkey, stuffing, vegetables, Christmas pudding and mince pies, and plans are being made to cater for a similar number this year.
Guests who're unable to get themselves to the church on Leicester Road will be offered transport to and from their homes.
Invitations are being delivered this month and posters displayed in strategic places around the town.
The purpose of this event is to show people who live alone, or have no close friends or family whom to share Christmas Day with, that there are people in the community who care.
Those interested in attending or volunteering should call Hilary and John Sharpe on (01664) 560975 for further information or to book a meal.
Melton Lions Club have already pledged their support by donating £200.

It's been five months since I've last posted here. In that time, I've made progress on a few short stories, have had two rejections for completed work (one from a twitfic magazine and one from Apex Magazine). These rejections didn't hurt, even if I was hoping for acceptances. The fact that I got rejections means that I actually submitted something. The more I do it, the easier it will get.
I've been toying with an idea to marry two of my hobbies together. I've always been interested in bookbinding and crafts of that sort. I've watched plenty of good videos on how to bind books (such as this one) and I even hand-bound my architecture portfolio back when I was a sophomore in college. This interest has led to an interesting idea. I've decided that I want to print my short stories as chapbooks and use them as promotional materials. I think it's unique enough that someone will want to read them, and the project is easy enough that I can do it using my home printer and some supplies I've bought online. I already attempted one such chapbook with mixed results. I'll hopefully be making a full blog post about that project as soon as I can. Right now, I want to focus on getting this one right.
Stay tuned for that and more info regarding my many, many story rejections to come.

A hospice is set to be demolished to make way for a new development.
Havens Hospices is sell its buildings in Chalkwell – Fair Havens Hospice on Chalkwell Avenue and its adjacent day hospice and offices on Second Avenue.
A new, purpose-built adult hospice is being built in Prittlewell and is due to open in 2020, caring for twice as many patients as the current hospice can.
Patients will remain in the Chalkwell hospice until the new building is completed.
The existing hospice opened in 1983 and are two residential houses that were joined together. Various adaptations have been made over the years but is no longer fit for purpose with most of the rooms on the first floor and only a stairlift to transport patients, meaning people who are too poorly to use this must wait until a bedroom on the ground floor becomes available.
The day hospice and charity offices are on the same site but in a separate building with no room to expand the services for patients who want to access wellbeing services.
Estate agent Ayers & Cruiks has been appointed to manage the sale, with the proceeds going towards the new building project.
Louise McKay, ward sister at Fair Havens Hospice said: "Although we will be sad to leave the current building, the time has come where we need a purpose-built facility in order to comply with the regulations of modern hospice care.
"It has served us incredibly well over the past 36 years, caring for thousands of patients and many memories have been experienced here by the families, care team and volunteers. We will be sure to mark the transition between the buildings in a fitting way."
Although having served the charity so well for 36 years, the current Chalkwell Avenue facility is set within a very exclusive residential area.
It will no doubt attract developers similar to those who turned bought out St Hilda's school in nearby Imperial Avenue - once a large house - for a flats development.
Cramped - early bedroom at Fair Havens
The new Fair Havens Hospice, with its "welcoming and reassuring environment", will cover the population of Southend, Castle Point and Rochford, bringing together a range of specialist services to support people in making choices about their care from the day they receive their diagnosis, as they journey with their illness, and as the end of their life approaches.
It will incorporate 16 in-patient bedrooms, increased day hospice services, additional family support and beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds.
To register interest or to find out more about the sale of these properties contact Steve Ayers or Abbie Hayes by calling 01702 343060 or visit www.ayerscruiks.co.uk
