cmc88 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 119 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
Austin-based start-up SCHUBERT'S LOFT will bring live classical music out of the churches and concert halls and into a comfortable-yet-chic urban art house setting.
I need a logo for a new company in Austin, Texas, SCHUBERT'S LOFT, that produces intimate classical music "salon concerts" for 40 guests at a time in a comfortable-yet-chic urban art house setting. The concept is to bring classical music out of the stiffness of churches and concert halls and into a warm, relaxed atmosphere where people can enjoy great food and wine, be close to the music and get to know the performers. It's classical music meets jazz club meets salon concert meets wine bar meets party. The company is named after Viennese composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828), heralded for his terrific output of lyric and passionate art songs, chamber music, solo piano music and symphonies, regarded as "the first Bohemian", and known for getting together with friends in their homes to have salon concerts, or parties centered around music-making known as "Schubertiads". He only lived 31 years, but his short life was filled to the brim with friends, art and music. I am a classical pianist that just left a cushy but boring academic job in northeast Ohio to "follow my muse"; that led me back to Austin, Texas (where I went to graduate school) to be among friends, a musical community that I adore, sunshine and great food. I have always been interested in developing new audiences for classical music, showing people that it can be exciting, hip, passionate, relevant and interesting food for the soul.
- Item 1... The design must include the words "SCHUBERT'S LOFT" and "live classical listening lounge". Artwork should be in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.
- Item 1...
I don't want an image of Schubert's head. Please.

International Paper Donates Bussey Brake, Wham Brake Reservoirs to Louisiana
International Paper (NYSE: IP) announced today that it will donate over 8,100 acres of land, which includes the Bussey Brake and Wham Brake reservoirs, to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF). The total donation is valued at over $7.8 million dollars. The fresh water reservoirs located near Bastrop, Louisiana in Morehouse Parish are popular recreational sites.
"This donation by International Paper will preserve these reservoirs for future generations to come for the citizens of Louisiana," said Tommy Joseph, International Paper Senior Vice President. "We are excited to be able to make this announcement today".
"Preserving fish and game habitat for public use is a key component in the department's conservation mission," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham.
"IP's generous donation falls right in line with our public access initiatives."
Bussey Brake, a 2,600-acre fresh water reservoir, was constructed in the mid 1950's by International Paper to serve as an alternative water source for the Louisiana Mill. International Paper owned 620 acres of the reservoir site with the remaining balance under leases with third parties. Under terms of the donation, the leases will be transferred to LDWF.
LDWF plans for Bussey Brake include a complete renovation of the reservoir's fish population.
The impoundment will be drained and allowed to dry completely.
The current fish population will be removed and the reservoir stocked with popular game fish including bass, bream, catfish and crappie.
Once re-stocked, the reservoir will be monitored and managed with recreational fisheries a priority.
The renovation process will take three to five years to achieve success and the resulting fish population, once established, would self-sustain as a healthy fisheries for several decades.
Wham Brake was also constructed in the 1950's on IP lands through a joint effort with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.
The 5,550-acre reservoir will become part of the (21,948 acre) LDWF's Russell-Sage Wildlife Management Area, providing preservation of wildlife habitat for future generations. LDWF will partner with Ducks Unlimited to initiate a hydrologic survey of Wham Brake to determine a management strategy for this vitally important waterfowl area. Planned site improvements include better hunter access through additional boat launches and parking areas, improved water delivery systems and more uniform moist soil management units creating added acres of waterfowl habitat.
International Paper (NYSE: IP) is a global paper and packaging company with manufacturing operations in North America, Europe, Latin America, Russia, Asia and North Africa.

I like the sentiment, but…
Jesus probably didn't exist, and if he can be said to be modeled after some first century Jewish rabbi, he would almost certainly have been virulently concerned with controlling people's sexual lives…and would have regarded homosexuality as an abomination. Also, there's no afterlife, so he isn't lounging about in heaven moaning about our bad behavior on earth. Also, Freddie Mercury is, regrettably, dead and no longer exists: no afterlife, remember.
This has been a clarification from your friendly godless party-pooper.
But otherwise, yeah, nice.

Men are standing, and opposite them are women in grand plié, who tip to the left, then to the right, and change position so that they are kneeling in profile. Their costumes are simple leotards. In fact, it looks as if the company boxed up the dancers and little more than a string of lights and red gels, and set off on tour.
There is silence as the men twist like train couplings into pairs with the women, and then position themselves like sentries in an empty, cold, nighttime desert. For a moment, the men soften and lean into the women. That is the most affect we will see, and it is the cue for A Capella music by Maxin Waratt to begin, with lyrics in Portuguese, the beginning of a mix by Ohad Fishof. A pattern emerges from what at first look like random poses, dancers disconnected from one another, isolates, each on his or her own Gaga-centered journey. In slo-mo, we see that the poses (a modified arabesque or penchée) give way to a short, quick jump, a mad runabout, and then a tableau that assembles all ten dancers, in graduated rows, as if for a class photo. They distribute themselves across the barren landscape and fall to the floor. No chemistry, no alchemy, nothing connects them except their random arrival on the same stage like ball bearings in a Physics exercise. Their movements assume a strategic character. It's a game of chess with bodies, and the floor is the board. They move in fits and starts, but once a direction is taken, it is done so in haste. The sound effects, which are part of the score, become more identifiable. The dancers disperse themselves into lines, and we hear pops—like from guns—as they respond, contracting or dropping, as if hit by a bullet and felled—or temporarily disabled until they recoil and reload the earlier combinations. A great rolling sound gathers momentum, like a caisson barreling down a road; there is a quick solo, breathing deepens into a whispered utterance. We see an arabesque and hear dripping water over the whisper, and one imagines that the water is dripping from the extended leg, like blood. Is the score accompaniment to the movement, or is the movement an annotation of the score? The lens of the sensory experience needs adjustment with each succeeding sequence of sound and movement.
Movement gives way to dancers sidling up to partners, though they do not dance with them, except in one chassé sequence, where the partners face one another and take a tentative, almost disinterested measure of the calculated steps.
Words are now intoned in what sounds like Hebrew, and the formations become more athletic and callisthenic, interrupted by plodding bent-knee leg lifts, and with backs to the audience, heads bobble in nods to the sound of bellows pumping. From their downstage tableau the dancers scatter randomly, and fractionalize again as the sound of a mosquito's buzz intensifies. A dancer's midriff undulates to the bandwidth of the mosquito's expanding and contracting vibration, and two of the company's most athletic dancers, Bobbi Smith and Shamel Pitts dance a sharp-edged duet. Men nearly skid onto the stage with hips thrust forward, and a jazz-like set of combinations follow. Chanting morphs into the sound of ratcheting and then an air hose, a veritable sound machine under construction. Are we in the middle of William Forsythe? I'd venture that there has been a little shameless pilfering: Dancers respond with off-balance thrusts or lifts, to loud clanking crashes of metal. A manufactured language, a kind of African dialect with echoes of Spanish, and then counting in another invented tongue, and then the Roman alphabet camouflaged by a polyglot of related sounds, takes us into the home stretch until the dancers find their tableau, and the audience goes gaga.

The four main players in what the FBI says is a mortgage fraud ring that raked in millions of dollars and involved dozens of properties in Volusia County and other parts of Florida pleaded not guilty to conspiracy charges in federal court on Tuesday.
ORLANDO—The four main players in what the FBI says is a mortgage fraud ring that raked in millions of dollars and involved dozens of properties in Volusia County and other parts of Florida pleaded not guilty to conspiracy charges in federal court on Tuesday.
Broker-investor Ramara Garrett, her boyfriend Jim Sotolongo, title agent Stephanie Musselwhite and mortgage broker Chris Mencis appeared before U.S. Magistrate Gregory J. Kelly in a case that the FBI has been investigating for more than three years.
Investigators have said the group — part of the Sotolongo Mortgage Fraud Ring — made millions of dollars over the course of a seven-year period that began in 2005, a complaint affidavit states. They are charged with conspiracy to make false statements to federally insured financial institutions to obtain mortgage loans, and to devise a scheme to defraud financial institutions to obtain money, assets and property, a 25-page indictment shows.
Each of their attorneys entered a plea of not guilty for their clients at the hearing, which lasted about 40 minutes. None of the attorneys would comment on the case after the hearing and have consistently declined comment since their clients were arrested in late March and early April.
Last Wednesday, a federal grand jury indicted the group on the charges. Their next scheduled court appearance is a status conference on May 21. Their trial is tentatively set for June 3.
Moments before the 11:30 a.m. hearing started, the defendants began arriving at the Orlando courthouse. Each of them declined to speak to a reporter about the case.
Mencis, 51, who currently lives in North Carolina, was the first to arrive and said he was on his way to confer with his attorney.
Musselwhite, 50, who lives in a condo off South Ridgewood Avenue in South Daytona, arrived with tears in her eyes as she neared the courthouse entrance.
Sotolongo and Garrett, who live together in an oceanfront house in Wilbur-by-the Sea, arrived with their newborn daughter.
Musselwhite embraced Sotolongo and Garrett as they headed toward an elevator and all three stood apart from Mencis, who recently told The News-Journal that he was a victim of Sotolongo's and had no idea about the mortgage fraud scheme.
Investigators say the group reaped millions of dollars, but Garrett on Tuesday was represented by a federal public defender after she filed a financial affidavit, which is sealed, in advance of the hearing. Because Garrett, 34, had not yet worked out a financial arrangement with her attorney Brian Phillips, the latter did not represent her at the arraignment.
Amy Filjones, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Tampa, said Garrett's filling out of the financial affidavit is routine when a defendant is represented by a federal public defender.
"She needed representation at that hearing while she worked out her personal situation with her attorney," Filjones said. "So a public defender makes a limited appearance while she is working on securing her attorney."
Phillips, an Orlando lawyer, actually stood with Sotolongo, 47, because his Miami attorney John Bergendahl did not appear at the hearing.
FBI agents arrested Sotolongo, Garrett and Musselwhite on March 29. Mencis was arrested April 4. All four are free on signature bonds.
In his affidavit, FBI investigator Robert Robichaud wrote that the group launched a complex scheme to defraud banks in order to obtain loans for upscale properties in Volusia County, some valued in the millions of dollars, records show. The group also ran the scheme in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Orange counties, the indictment shows.
Sotolongo bought or sold about 20 houses between 2005 and 2012 but was also involved in nearly 70 fraudulent transactions, according to Robichaud. Musselwhite was the closing agent on most of the loans, and Garrett or Realtors who worked for her represented individuals involved in the fraudulent home purchases, the complaint shows. Mencis acted as the mortgage broker on most of the loans, the complaint states.


text: Most artists interested in the relations between media and consciousness are familiar with the 'Turing test,' a procedure which forces us to confront how an artificial intelligence might be able to pose as human. The '20Q test' may soon become just as important for media artists. Invented by Ottowa-based developer Robin Burgener, 20Q is a version of the traditional 'twenty questions' game in which an online intelligence reads a human player's thoughts with startling accuracy. Working with some 10,000,000 synaptic connections, the website is even able to account for false steps in players' reasoning. The more people visit 20Q, the better it gets at guessing, making startling connections based on a logic that transcends any one individual's ideas (the site's handlers even claim that it 'seems to be developing a warped sense of humor' all on its own.) The '20Q test' turns the 'Turing test' around. In the latter, an artificial intelligence can pose as authentic. In 2OQ, one experiences how 'authentic,' personal thoughts can be reduced to chains of connections that seem completely artificial. - Ben Davis

Shelves and clothes hooks are installed between the front and rear sections of the caravan, and additional storage space is also located on the underside of the wagon and below the rear caravan window.
The "built-in kitchen" features a gas stove and sink, a solar-powered cooler and enough space for pots, plates and of course supplies. Lighting is also provided, either in the form of mobile solar lamps or installed gaslights.
Pillows, bedding and dishwashing towels are provided with the wagon, as well as pots, dishes, cleaning utensils and gas. You provide your own food, but upon request we can supply you with baskets of regional delicacies.

Mimecast digs its way into the information bank
Outside the
vault box thinking
Analysis Mimecast is recasting itself as an information banker and looking for new types of data it could store and new ways to mine the banked information.
The company is a UK-based concern offering e-mail as a service and working to add the storage of unstructured files and SharePoint information to what is an e-mail capture, indexing, search and archive platform offering.
It has a chief scientist, Nathaniel Borenstein, who was hired three months ago and was previously an IBM distinguished engineer. He joined the company to achieve things he couldn't do at IBM. There, the corporate bureaucracy and excessive company size meant that it was virtually impossible co-ordinate all the relevant company resources on topics such as SPAM control. During 2006 he had a meeting set up between IBM and Symantec to discuss an anti-SPAM alliance and found out IBM had bought Symantec's then biggest competitor Internet Security Systems on the day of the meeting, rendering it pointless and embarrassing.
Mimecast, he says, is a company that is fast-growing and past the early start-up phase with its 150 or so employees, yet small enough for left hands to know what right hands are doing.
He owns, or can look at, all the technology not owned by co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Neil Murray. We might say he is licensed to think outside the existing Mimecast box.
It's a truism that information is today's business currency. Borenstein considers Mimecast is like a bank that takes in customer information deposits. He is looking at capturing and storing new types of information on the one hand, and new ways of mining it on the other.
"Archiving e-mail is fixing a big enough pain for customers. Suppose, you could do ... telephony archiving in the same way as email. ... You could run phone messages through voice recognition and transcription processing and get rough voice speech records ... and have them searchable."
Storing voice-over-IP (VOIP) calls would be a little simpler as they are digital when they enter the system. He says: "HPPA data requirements don't generally apply to phone calls because phone record archiving was not thought to be possible when HPPA was conceived."
Borenstein reckons telephony recording might be a good idea for lawyers and finance trading companies: "Lawyers could choose it in advance of regulation." In the finance world regulators might find it very desirable to have a record of all traders' business calls when investigating market irregularities.
He is wondering whether this would be a service worth selling, and thinks it would be a Pandora's box-type thing. Once it was out in the wild you couldn't put it back: "Mobile operators or telcos could make it available and you won't have any say in it."
The water cooler guy
Another thing you could do is mine stored data for new patterns of information, such as discovering the social network connections between employees: "You could use email data to generate social networking maps."

MELBOURNE, Australia - Andy Murray has finally beaten Roger Federer at a Grand Slam, and not without some drama.
The U.S. Open champion beat 17-time major winner Federer 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2 at the Australian Open in a semifinal match Friday night featuring an angry outburst by Federer in the fourth set.
Murray, who missed his chance to serve out the match at 6-5 in the fourth set, will play defending champion and top-seeded Novak Djokovic in Sunday's final. Djokovic was rarely troubled while beating David Ferrer in just under 90 minutes on Thursday night — 2 1/2 hours less than Friday's semifinal.
Advantage Djokovic.
In the 12th game of the fourth set, Federer appeared to glare and yell something across the net after Murray stopped momentarily behind the baseline during the rally.
Murray ignored it after winning the point, but conceded serve in that game and lost the ensuing tiebreaker before regrouping in the fifth set.
"I mean, it wasn't a big deal," Federer said of the incident. "We just looked at each other one time. That's OK, I think. We were just checking each other out for bit. That wasn't a big deal for me — I hope not for him."
Murray refused to elaborate on the details of the exchange.
"Stuff like that happens daily in tennis matches ... it was very, very mild in comparison to what happens in other sports," Murray said. "It's just one of those things."
Murray said while the outburst didn't "rattle" him, it might have helped Federer get back in the match.
"I think he raised his game, and that's what happens," he said. "Sometimes guys need to get emotion into the match. He definitely raised his level ... in that game I think he hit two balls onto the line and was extremely aggressive after that."
Asked again what Federer had said, Murray reiterated he didn't feel it was "relevant."
"I'm sure Roger won't talk about it and I have no interest in discussing it either, because, like I say, it happens all the time," he said. "People will want to make a big deal of it and it isn't really a big deal.
"It's a very late finish, I'm tired. I don't want to be wasting any energy, because I'll need all of it if I want to win against Novak on Sunday."
While Murray came into the match with a 10-9 career advantage, Murray had never beaten Federer in their three previous meetings at majors — finals at the 2008 U.S. Open, 2010 Australian Open and last year at Wimbledon.
"It's always tough against him, when he plays in Slams is when he plays his best tennis," Murray said. "When his back was against the wall at 6-5 and I was serving, he came up with some unbelievable shots. I just had to keep fighting."
Federer outplayed Murray at stages of the match, but the 25-year-old Scotsman appeared to have the legs and stamina to give him the advantage over the 31-year-old Federer in the fifth set, including a service break to clinch the tense match.
"It's big. I never beat Roger in a Slam before. It definitely will help with the confidence," Murray said. "Just knowing you can win against those guys in big matches definitely helps."
Federer said he was playing catch-up all night.
"Definitely it was more of a chase," Federer said. "I think I had my chances a little bit. Obviously you're going to go through a five-setter with some regrets. But overall, I think Andy was a bit better than I was tonight."
With a capacity crowd of 15,000 at Rod Laver Arena watching, including the Australian legend Laver himself, Federer opened the match serving and was in trouble early, losing a 28-rally point to set up break point for Murray. But Federer held the game with a stunning crosscourt forehand that just looped over the net from the baseline.
Murray, who had not lost a set through five rounds at Melbourne Park this year, had the first service break — on his fourth break point — to lead 2-1. It came in unusually cool summer conditions in Melbourne — breezy and temperatures of only 16 Celsius (60 Fahrenheit) during most of the match.
The crowd was initially evenly split between Federer and Murray supporters — and at times, they were competing to be heard. At one point in the second set, a group of Murray fans wearing white shirts with blue letters spelling his nickname "Muzza" stood to chant Murray's name, while a group of Federer supporters with Swiss flags on their cheeks and shirts chanted Federer's name.
Earlier Friday, top-seeded Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci of Italy won the first title of 2013 at Melbourne Park, beating the unseeded Australian pair of Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 for the women's doubles championship.
The 16-year-old Barty was attempting to become the youngest Grand Slam champion since Martina Hingis won the Australian Open singles title in 1997.
The top-seeded team of Carol Zhao from Richmond Hill, Ont., and Ana Konjuh of Croatia won the junior girls' doubles title with a 5-7, 6-4, 10-7 victory over sixth-seeded duo Oleksandra Korashvili of Ukraine and Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic.
On Saturday, defending champion Victoria Azarenka plays sixth-seeded Li Na of China for the women's singles title. Li lost the Australian Open final to Kim Clijsters in 2011 two months before winning her first and only Grand Slam at the French Open.
"Last time was more exciting, (more) nervous because it was my first time to be in a final," Li said Friday. "But I think this time (I'm) more calmed down, more cool."
Azarenka leads 5-4 in career matches, including the last four times they've played.
"I'm really hungry to defend my title," said Azarenka, who needs to beat Li to retain her No. 1 ranking. "I've put myself in the position to give it the best shot."
Also on Saturday, American brothers Bob and Mike Bryan will play their fifth consecutive Australian Open doubles final and attempt to win their record 13th Grand Slam doubles championship. They'll play the Dutch pair of Robin Haase and Igor Sijsling.

Roast Chicken Grand-Mère is a classic French fricassée. Warm and filling, this braised chicken casserole is prepared the old-fashioned way: everything is simmered together in one pot. Any dish termed 'Grand-Mère' has the same 4 ingredients: glazed pearl onions, bacon lardons, sautéed mushrooms and small new potatoes. French cuisine is filled with lots of comforting cottage-style gems, known as 'recettes de Grand-Mère', or 'grandmother's recipes'. A classic in French cuisine, Chicken Grand-Mère was a specialty in Chef Daniel Boulud's family too, and a favourite of his Grandmother Francine who cooked at the original Café Boulud outside Lyon.
Chicken Grand-Mère was a specialty of Daniel Bolud's Grandmother Francine
"The best thing my grandmother made, appropriately enough, was the French classic Poulet Grand-Mère. You can make it with a whole chicken, but she did it as a fricassée, with the chicken cut into portions. You simply brown the meat in a sauté pan then add shallots, garlic, potatoes, mushrooms and chicken stock and bake it in the oven. We picked the mushrooms, raised the chickens, grew the onions. All of the elements were perfect together because of their freshness, and no time was it better to make this dish than at mushroom harvest time, when my grandmother would add rose des pres, pink field mushrooms, newly dug potatoes, and new garlic."
Chicken breasts dressed in vegetable oil, seasoned with coarse sea salt,
fresh ground black pepper and baked at 375°F for about 30-40 minutes
When I make Chicken Grand-Mère, I generally use chicken breasts rather than cutting up a whole chicken, simply because it's easier to control the cooking time of the meat. The breasts are coated in vegetable oil then seasoned with salt and pepper and baked along with some new potatoes for about 30 to 40 minutes. When they're all nice and golden brown, it's time to remove them from the oven and start on the vegetables.
The breasts are nicely browned and cooked through
Lovely and crispy golden brown new potatoes
Pearl onions are blanched, peeled and added to an oven-proof casserole along with 2 tablespoons of butter, 4 chopped shallots and 3 cloves of garlic, and sautéed on the stove top until they become soft and fragrant. Cremini mushrooms, a diced bulb of celeriac and 4 or 5 slices of chopped thick bacon are then added the the mixture and cooked until the bacon starts rendering its fat. The casserole then is covered over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes to stop the ingredients from sticking.
Sliced shallots, garlic and blanched pearl onions sautéed in butter
Cremini mushrooms - large ones are halved and the smaller are left whole
Peeled and diced celeriac
Bacon, celeriac and mushrooms are added to the casserole
The cooked chicken breasts and 2 cups of chicken broth are added to the cooked vegetables and the casserole is baked uncovered in the oven for about half an hour or so, until all of the lovely flavours have melded and the chicken is cooked through.
The cooked chicken breasts are added with 2 cups of chicken broth
This dish is wonderfully soothing and satisfying whether you're making it simply with cremini mushrooms and new potatoes, or dressed up with exotic wild mushrooms or any of the small fingerling or organic potatoes that many local markets now offer. Simple, savoury and delicious, Roast Chicken Grand-Mère is the ultimate classic comfort food on a cold winter day, especially when served with a warm crusty baguette to sop up all of the flavourful juices — bon appetit!
Roast Chicken Grand-Mère
Serves 4
4 chicken breasts, bone in and skin on
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
12 pearl onions, skin on
4 shallots, peeled and sliced finely
4 cloves of garlic, finely sliced
6 sprigs thyme
16 small Yukon Gold potatoes
1 celery root, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
6 oz bacon, cut into short thin strips
16 small cremini mushrooms, trimmed, cleaned and halved
2 cups chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 crusty Baguette, to serve with chicken
Centre a rack in the oven and preheat oven to 375°F.
Blanch the pearl onions in a small pot of boiling water for about 2 minutes, and when they're cool enough to handle, peel off the outer skin, trim off the root end, cover and set aside.
In a large bowl, coat the chicken breasts and small potatoes all over with canola oil, then place the chicken and potatoes in two separate foil-lined baking pans. Season them both generously with salt and pepper and roast together in the oven until the chicken breasts are well browned on top, about 30-40 minutes. Meanwhile, remember to stir the potatoes every 10-15 minutes to ensure they become golden all over. When the chicken and potatoes are deeply golden, remove them from the oven and transfer to a platter and keep warm while you work on the vegetables.
Pour off 2 tablespoons of the cooking fat from the baking pan and place into an oven-proof casserole over medium heat, on the stove top. Add the butter and sliced shallots and cook, stirring frequently, about 5-6 minutes. Then add the cipollini onions, garlic and thyme and cook just until the vegetables start to take on a little color, about 5 minutes. Add the celery root and bacon and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the bacon starts rendering its fat. Then cover the pan and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.
Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and return the chicken to the pan. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil, and slide the pan into the oven. Bake, uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Spoon everything onto a warm serving platter or serve from the casserole, and garnish with extra sprigs of thyme. To serve, bring the chicken to the table with plenty of crusty baguette to sop up the sauce.

the sick house
Posted by Hallee on Oct 23, 2009 in Blog Stuff, Life, Parenting
My house has been the sick house this week. We were in Chicago on vacation, and the day after we got home, my daughter came home from school complaining of a sore throat. By that night, her temperature had spiked. The next morning, my son woke up lethargic and throwing up.

Model Petra Nemcova arrives for the showing of the Badgley Mischka Fall 2013 collection during Fashion Week, Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013, in New York. (AP Photo/Louis Lanzano)
NEW YORK (AP) — Rachel Roy was at Vera Wang's NY Fashion Week show Tuesday, in a choice seat next to John Legend. Tory Burch regularly attends the shows of Narciso Rodriguez and Proenza Schouler. Diane von Furstenberg always makes room for Oscar de la Renta, and Tommy Hilfiger took in Belstaff.
Fashion has a reputation for being cutthroat, but there are friendships and mentorships as well that don't always get their due.
"I'm a big believer in supporting others," Burch said in a backstage interview.
Models are part of the glue here, too. Jessica Stam made it to the Chelsea space where Thom Browne was showing and Coco Rocha made a quick change from von Furstenberg's front row to Zac Posen's backstage.
Karlie Kloss was on the red carpet for the Grammy Awards, hosting coverage for MTV. She took an overnight flight from Los Angeles to New York to walk in Carolina Herrera's morning show Monday.
"These are my friends. That's why I got back in time. It's a family reunion at Fashion Week," Kloss said. "It's a common misconception that we don't get along but its not really true. ... To have a long career, you have to get along."
Roy decided to take her show digital this year, which meant an earlier deadline for her looks. She found the newfound freedom had at least one unexpected perk: "I can go to more of my friends' shows!"
John Galliano, who is on a three-week guest stint at de la Renta's studio, did not make a front-of-the-house appearance at the designer's show Tuesday, Day 6 of fall previews that wrap up Feb. 14. Shows follow in London, Milan and Paris.
De la Renta did have company on the runway for his bow: models Karlie Kloss and Magdalena Frackowiak. He also had famous fashion designers — friends Diane von Furstenberg and Valentino — in the front row.
Nowhere to be seen, however, was John Galliano, who is in the middle of a three-week stint working in de la Renta's studio. The question on guests' minds was if Galliano, fired from Christian Dior two years ago after an anti-Semitic rant was caught on video, would stay at de la Renta's house longer.
They were left to continue the rumor mill, but for the 15 minutes of show, they were fully engrossed in the show.
There seemed distinct segments of the collection: the uptown lady who wears a belted shawl-collar jacket; the artsy jetsetter who wears her black-and-ivory, Toile-print quilted skirt suit with panache; and the young socialite who can rock a shocking-pink ballgown with gold embroidery.
A delicate nude gown with black-bead embroidery likely is headed straight for the red carpet on a top Hollywood star.
Mark Badgley and James Mischka are big movie buffs, and it shows in their clothes as they always seem attracted to silver-screen femme fatales.
Their fall collection had a film-noir vibe that always does well for them on the modern Hollywood red carpet. This time, the inspiration was Alfred Hitchcock movies — their favorite being "Vertigo."
Kim Novak as a muse makes so much sense, Badgley said. "She's confident with a little bit of a dark, sexy side."
She also wears polished silhouettes like pencil skirts, fur stoles, halter-top gowns and tops with peplums very well, which fits the Badgley Mischka aesthetic perfectly.
This customer, though, also likes her shine. For fall, she gets a black-and-oyster lame dress, a metallic tweed suit and a jet-black silk and wool gown with a beaded back, cutout bodice and mermaid hemline.
All the pretty young things who wear Packham's gowns on the red carpet are about to get a lesson in old-world glamour.
Think farther back than Hollywood's golden age, farther back than Art Deco — even farther back than the Edwardian era. Packham's fall collection was based on noble 17-century Parisians, the women who would gather in their salons to discuss literature, politics and art.
"These women were educated, wealthy and influential — they even liked politics. They were like early feminist groups," joked Packham backstage.
It seems they got to do quite a bit of lounging, and that came through in some of Packham's dressing gowns, robe-style silhouettes and powder-colored satins. They also knew how to ramp it up without ever being inappropriate. Packham played with that by showing some body-hugging looks that had high necks and keyhole slashes.
She also put a twist on the beaded gown, covering the whole thing in an extra layer of tulle, which added dimension and a little bit of mystery.
Burch has a confession she shared on the runwy: "I love bugs — at least from a design standpoint."
She decorated a chiffon button-down shirt with scarabs and used jeweled ones on a silk skirt. Embellished dragonflies were subtly placed on some of the shoes — remember Burch's roots are in accessories — making them an instant, must-have status symbol.
But Burch didn't go looking in dark corners for inspiration. She tried to envelop metallic fabrics, the textures of Gustav Klimt's portraits and a free-spirited mood all into the overarching theme of Art Nouveau.
She found inspiration in many weekend outings to The Neue Galerie. "I was an art history major. ... I just like to go to see the Klimts. I love his attention to color, detail and texture."
Design sisters Laura and Kate Mulleavy grew up in sunny Santa Cruz, Calif., and evoked their seaside hometown in their fall collection.
But perhaps only to them. "It's really our own version of it," Laura Mulleavy said backstage.
The beachy feel came across most strongly in prints — especially a tie-dye motif in silk satin, which appeared in a host of flowing gowns in pink, blue, red and black.
There were even some Grateful Dead references in the mix — with the iconic Northern California band appearing via brilliant red-rose embroidery on the fanciest dresses, along with Swarovski crystals.
In the collection's most unusual element, many of the tie-dye gowns were embellished with large, futuristic-looking collars and other attached pieces made of what the sisters call 3-D double-faced foam.
John Legend and fiance model Chrissy Teigen, Jada Pinkett Smith and Christine Baranski were on the front row to see ready-to-wear collection of Vera Wang.
Wang has embraced a high level of artistry for her bridal and red-carpet customers, but it was new for her ready to wear. "It was time for us to raise the bar," she said.
"It's going to be all about the collaging of different fabrics, different scales, different textures and different embroideries," she explained.
The first look out was a refined black wool sleeveless coat with an exaggerated arm and capelike collar that was paired with a racer-neckline shift dress. Wang folded fabric like origami to create wool-silk tops, and then topped them over the chest with a silk band.
For eveningwear, if anyone could start the trend for trousers on the red carpet, it's Wang. Her finale rose-printed gray jacquard chiffon blouse and delicate evening robe worn with gray rose-printed pants would be a strong contender.
Fresh off the positive feedback for her high-end label, Beckham offered "zip-and-go" dressing for her more affordable line.
More affordable — but to a point, as Beckham herself acknowledged. "It's still expensive," she noted, "but a little less, and maybe something more women can buy."
Beckham said she focused the collection on the concept of easy, quick dressing. "You don't have to think about it — you just get inside and go," she said.
As an example, she cited her very first item at Tuesday's presentation: A sleeveless gray wool jumper with a low V-neck and white button-down shirt attached inside.
The younger, trendier line of Marc Jacobs was a polished and quiet throwback to the 1960s.
He stuck mostly with pant suits, wool shift or trapeze dresses and coats in solids, accented with a sprinkling of white-and-black stripes and large leaf prints in autumnal red, orange-red, green, purple and a rich deep blue.
The female models, with fluffy curled hair and bright red lips, looked like they were ready to get on an airline flight to mix a little business with pleasure, while the men in plaid wool blazers could have been running off to a campus club meeting.
Trousers for both genders provided an updated look to the mod-style dresses and coats.
The designer was looking at a photo album not long ago and happened on a snapshot of her mother, back in France decades ago, in apres-ski attire.
It inspired her current collection. "I just wanted to recreate that easy elegance that she had in that photo, that sophistication but also practicality," Theallet said.
She began her show with a couple of elegant wool coats — not oversized or boxy or futuristic, as many designers have shown this season, but sleek and tailored.
Theallet moved into silky skirts and dresses, including an eye-catching, one-shouldered gray frock with a colorful print peeking out from a slit in the front. Some had a print of petals or leaves, either alone or covered by a sheer layer.
Especially appealing were her sleeveless sweaters — paired with soft, flouncy, feminine skirts — and a series of long and flowing dresses, a few of them backless with pretty and unusual strap details.
Turk focused her presentation on "elevating the sophistication level of what we do. More layered looks, textures and rich colors."
Those rich, fall-like colors were readily visible: Plums, as in a crepe jumpsuit with a silk georgette blouse and long leather plum gloves. Wines, as in a lush lamb and rabbit coat. Purples, as in a bright toggle coat. Or saffron, as in a pair of patchwork trousers.
There was also a wildly colorful column dress in what Turk calls an "Embarcadero" print. And there were shorts, albeit in fall and winter fabrics, like houndstooth.

I can't believe the level of ineptitude involved in this alleged comic sometimes. What kind of low-lifes are behind this project anyway.
Am I the ONLY one who noticed that the "Side Kick" thread disappeared into thin air? What gives? The public demands to know how this turns out.

The Tickler cock ring offers a grip that is firm but fair; the cock ring is stretchy enough to expand around a 3-4cm diameter but once its there he'll certainly feel the effects on his family jewel.
Best of all the soft-pronged tickler cock ring is almost 2cm wide which acts to evenly spread the pressure so he'll feel sensually supported rather than strangled!

PMJ necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 193 diseños de 50 diseñadores freelance.
World Champion Quarter Horse Stallion Fabio Zini, named for the Argentinian guitarist, needs to be captured through a visually compelling logo that will have appeal to South American and Mexican audiences.
Fabio Zini: The Horse
A logo that captures the beauty of Fabio Zini, the horse, and a compelling image that appeals to a South American or Mexican audience. The logo will be used on apparel and in ads marketing the horse in both Spanish and English. Fabio Zini is a world champion performance halter stallion for the American Quarter Horse Association, which is the world's largest breed association and as such has name recognition among quarter horse breeders. However, the goal is to expand that name recognition internationally and with a possible marketing package to include Fabio Zini, the guitarist. The horse will likely begin a career in entertainment so think along those lines.
- Item 1... The words Fabio Zini must be included in the logo and it must indicate that it is for a horse. The horse must look strong and muscular. Photos of the horse are available.
- Item 2 . . . The words "the Horse" may also be included.
- Item 3 . . . The design should be somewhat romantic and masculine in its appeal, i.e. visions of a flamenco dancer, the tango, something strong and sexy.
- Item 4 . . . the words "El Caballo" may also be used instead of "the Horse."
- Item 1... do not use any old stock horse or wild horse image
- Item 2 . . . no rearing horses, but a strong head would be fine. Again photos are available.
- No caricatures, cartoony sketches, needs to look like a real animal if a horse is included. But an abstract use of the horse is okay, but needs to be strong.

Madagascar's dramatic forest landscape is home to a fascinating diversity of life, lemurs, chameleons and a whole host of other species that are found nowhere else on earth! Its fantastically beautiful coastline boasts coral reefs rich in marine species, perfect for diving and snorkelling, and silky sanded beaches ideal for soaking up the bountiful sunshine. Madagascar's culture is vibrant and diverse; you will find bustling markets full of multicoloured produce and hospitable locals shouting their wares.
Overall schools in Madagascar are basic and teachers are in high demand, so that your contribution will be extremely valuable. You will assist local teachers to teach conversational and beginner's English to these impoverished children, help with environmental education and participate in other community activities. This truly will be an incredibly rewarding experience in one of the most extraordinary destinations in the world!

The majority of primary school age children and 36% of secondary school age children attend school. However, schools are severely under funded and there is an unequal distribution of educational resources across the country. Poor and rural communities can only attend seriously disadvantaged public schools.
The vast majority of the population speaks only Malagasy and there is a lack of foreign language teachers. Your assistance can give children and adults a sense of confidence, encourage their enthusiasm and ambition and even improve their opportunities for the future. To assist local teachers, you will need to be patient, flexible, a confident communicator and able to use your initiative and imagination. It would be helpful to have beginner's level French although not essential as you will have plenty of opportunities to learn! Lessons will be fun and interactive, developing the children's confidence and conversational skills. Over summer when there are school holidays you will continue to teach lessons in town, take classes in the local villages near to our camp or participate in adult education in Hellville. The local communities are extremely grateful for the support of the adult education classes, which is another rewarding aspect of this varied project.
We teach the majority of our lessons in Hellville at a primary school based in the centre of town. Encompassing over 1500 children over 20 classes, this is not for the faint hearted. Class sizes average at around 70 students who are very eager to learn. Ages range from 6 to 11 and they are as fascinated by you as you will undoubtedly be by them, so bring a big heart and bucket loads of enthusiasm and you will get on just fine! Our lessons range from assisting formal class lessons to one on one education lessons to improve the knowledge of individual children struggling with the material. We also offer assistance to small group workshops to educate the children further in English and to reaffirm the information we are teaching. Improvements in the children's knowledge in a short period can be immense and you will be as rewarded as you will be challenged by our programme. A regular session of lesson planning for the following day's work along with a requirement for you to report on the children's progress in your class ensures that we are able to offer a professional and dedicated programme, with the value of your contribution reflected in the reference which we will be able to give you at the end of your project.
Adult education classes are also offered by our group at the local youth community centre in town targeted at all ages and backgrounds. This is great fun and thoroughly rewarding as knowledge levels vary hugely and we engage primarily in spoken English tuition rather than anything more worksheet focused. Many games are played and smiles are a plenty – brilliant entertainment and immeasurably rewarding.
We also occasionally teach at the local village school close to our base camp where the marine and forest programmes are located. This is a very different experience and offers a new and exciting challenge for the buccaneering volunteer who is able to engage the children with more limited resources and an alternative approach. However, this is fantastic fun and a very valuable part of our work.
Students will be interested in life where you come from anf you may be able to get involved in teaching other activities such as sports, music or science, if you are interested and have the relevant skills. There will also be the possibility of working with our field conservation programmes to arrange collaborations on environmental education.
Your work schedule will cover a comprehensive, varied and enjoyable teaching programme which will awaken your creativity and initiative. You may be helping a local teacher at the school as well as assisting teachers to formulate ideas and develop your teaching skills and techniques. You may be involved with activities such as assisting in marking pupil's work and helping to produce an inspiring teaching strategy, including preparing homework and assembling innovative and effective lesson plans.
As well as this you will have the opportunity to help with lots of extracurricular activities which will vary extensively depending on your personal skills and interests – whether it is helping organise a school show or playing football with the super competitive and highly skilled local kids. The teaching programme is demanding but thoroughly rewarding and is excellent preparation for anyone looking into a career in teaching or who is just keen to get exposure to this worthwhile field of work.
Whatever you decide, you are sure to gain huge satisfaction from inspiring these communities, whilst significantly enhancing your own skills and experience.
Volunteers arriving weekly on a Monday will be welcomed by a Frontier representative at Nosy Be airport. From here it's a short taxi or minibus ride from the airport to the centre of the vibrant town of Hellville and your accommodation at the volunteer house.
Independent travellers arriving on dates other than weekly on a Monday can arrange a separate airport collection at an extra cost of US$85 by contacting your volunteer coordinator.
During the project you'll live in a wonderfully located volunteer house which is based in the centre of Hellville, where you will experience a unique and memorable living experience. The house is approximately a ten minute walk from the local primary school where we base the majority of our work and has all of the principal amenities one would expect from such a setup – equipped kitchen, flushing toilet and running water shower! House life is however very simple, unsophisticated and fun and will give you as much as you are prepared to put into it. The 'community' feel of the house is excellent and you will be made to feel right at home.
You will be provided with 3 simple and nutritious meals a day which will consists largely of locally sourced fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, rice, beans and noodles, most of which is purchased from the nearby market and thereby helps to support the local economy. Luxuries such as chocolate, peanut butter and Nutella are available in the town, so can be accessed if you wish to treat yourself every once in a while!
Part of your role in the volunteer house will be to help with the cooking. Creating spectacular meals over our marvellous kitchen stoves will become second nature, so get your cookbooks out now and start thinking up recipes! Also, with luck you'll be invited to local feasts and festivals – a great way to engage with local communities and discover local cuisine and cultures.
A range of adventure and cultural activities like visits to remote villages, snorkelling, mountain treks and wildlife tours are available. You can arrange these in country, which helps contribute to the local economy.
Scuba diving courses may be available (subject to availability of space and time constraints).
*Medical certificate is mandatory for participation in dive courses

Your insurance should include the following:
If you are going to be scuba diving you should get coverage for scuba diving up
to 30m, including hyperbaric therapy treatment (unlimited). You should consider
obtaining insurance to cover you for any additional activities which you plan to
do during, before, or after your Frontier project. We recommend that you obtain
cover for your baggage and personal effects.

Broward County, Fla., RV dealer GiGi Stetler has drawn inquiries from hundreds of distressed RV dealers and appears to be making some progress with her lawsuits against financial institutions, claiming overcharges on the interest dealers have had to pay for floorplanning.
Stetler is the owner of RV Sales Broward in West Palm Beach and Davie. Her lawsuits against major RV lenders claim that they've unfairly charged dealers interest on inventory, long before dealers' inventory arrived on their lot. Stettler is not mentioning the lenders' names.
Like many other RV dealers, Stetler says, "I was getting invoiced for units 10, 20 and 30 days before I ever received them. And, very often, when you get the unit, it needs extra work before you can sell it. So you're also forced to pay interest until it's even ready to sell."
Stetler cited one motorhome "that came in leaking. I was stuck with it, and paid $32,000 in interest before it was finally returned to the factory. The factory sent somebody down here three times to fix it. They finally agreed to take it back, but never reimbursed me the $32,000 in interest."
Time lags between ordering and receiving units are normal. A manufacturer typically requires several days to complete a unit and turn it over to a delivery company that, depending on how busy it is, may require up to 30 days to deliver that unit to the dealer's lot.
Stetler says dealers are fully aware of the time lags in getting units, but that the ambiguity of key contract language makes it impossible for dealers to accurately account for such delays in calculating interest. According to dealer security agreements, interest begins on the invoice date. "But nobody has been able to define 'invoice date,'" Stetler says. "Nobody knows whether it's shipping date, ordering date, building date. It's whatever they feel like putting on invoice. That's the problem."
One dealer, who requested anonymity, said it was up to the dealership to reconcile the monthly bank statement to its inventory. "If you're hit with an interest statement on a unit that you never got until 30 days later, you have to be proactive and tell the lender 'you can't bill us until this hits the ground,'" he points out, while noting the variances in dealer and lender practices in the industry.
But Stetler says she did catch it on the very first statement. She says she started protesting unfair floorplanning practices, beginning in August 2005 and continually got the runaround when seeking reimbursement, with manufacturers and lenders each telling her to talk to the other.
Stetler adds that, in 2007, when she finally threatened to switch lenders, a representative of her financing institution agreed to change her plan. "What we agreed on saved me $25,000 a month in interest. Over a period of two years, it (the previous plan) had cost me $600,000 in overcharges. They told me to chalk it up to the cost of doing business, and said I was one of only four dealers they'd made these concessions to."
Currently, Stetler is operating without benefit of floorplanning, having lost her two lenders. She operates by paying cash for units at auctions, a few at a time, and from consignments and rentals. Floorplanning normal inventory would be self-defeating, anyway, she adds: "When my floorplanning was pulled, I was losing deals like crazy because the very financial institutions I was doing business with were selling $90 million worth of inventory through the auctions, which they were buying back (from distressed or failed dealers) for $50,000 and $60,000 less than I could sell them for."
Stetler says discussions are taking place with lenders in her suits. She's seeking a refund of all the interest overcharges to every dealer, and says whatever concessions she obtains will apply to even those dealers who have gone out of business. She adds that she's fully aware of – and prepared for – a long, drawn-out legal battle due to the enormity of the stakes, potentially billions of dollars.
Based on dealer responses, many others share her views. Stetler says she's gotten 480 e-mails and over 100 phone calls from dealers since initiating her lawsuits, "97% of them in the same boat I'm in. They've had time floor checkers doing inventory and found units they were being charged for before they arrived from the factory."
The issue of when dealers begin paying floorplan interest has been ongoing, as Phil Ingrassia, vice president of communications for the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), Fairfax, Va., points out. So too, have "a number of issues with regard to the contracts that dealers have with lenders."
RVDA Legal Council Brock Landry recently reviewed several dealer financing agreements and also noted several RV dealers who said they had negotiated acceptable agreements with their lenders
Overall, says Landry, dealer agreements "run the gamut from extremely one-sided, unreasonable agreements putting all of the risk with the dealer to those that are somewhat more reasonable (although as with most financing agreements, the balance is usually in favor of the finance company). I would urge all RV dealers to have these agreements reviewed carefully by their counsel."
There are a number of provisions found in these agreements which could have "harsh and unfair results for the dealer," he adds, citing the following examples:
- Some of the agreements permit the finance company to sign the dealer's name on any document it deems necessary to fulfill the objectives of the agreement.
- Another agreement allows the financing to be placed back with the dealer if the manufacturer does not perform its obligations.
- Some agreements require the dealer to warrant that the purchaser is of legal age and has other qualifications rather than using its best efforts to determine this.
- Some provisions regarding dealers repossessing the units are also very harsh.
"I hope these examples will highlight the need for careful review of the contracts and a full assessment of the contractual obligations that the dealers are undertaking when they enter into these arrangements. The fine print can lead to some real problems," Landry concludes.

When eight Morenci Area High School seniors walked onto a school bus Thursday morning to greet a group of younger students, it was a meeting of old friends.
Except there was that one odd twist—they had never before laid eyes on one another.
This was the meeting of the Bigs and the Littles—a group of high school volunteers and their pen pals from elementary school.
The two parties had been corresponding by e-mail since late October; now it was finally time to get together for a picnic at Wakefield Park.
Five students from Adrian's Michener Elementary School signed up for the e-Mail Buddy program through the Lenawee County Big Brother-Big Sister organization, along with six from Sand Creek.

DOVER — Bail was set at $50,000 cash only for the Somersworth man accused of leading police on a high-speed chase Tuesday evening after demanding prescription medication from the pharmacy of Walgreens on Glenwood Avenue.
Presiding Circuit Court Judge Stephen Morrison entered no plea on behalf of Nicholas Maynes, 25, of 13A Central St, Somersworth on a felony charge of robbery resulting from Maynes allegedly passing a note to a pharmacy employee stating she had "one minute" to give him prescription medication and also that he "did not want to hurt" anyone.
According to the prosecution, Maynes had a hood pulled over his head when he passed the note to the employee. He also fled the store and then came back, officials said, returning for the note before he finally left.
"Obviously, your honor, this was desperate act," the attorney said.
Maynes, who was on probation and out on bail when he reportedly committed crimes Tuesday evening, was also arraigned on four other charges for which Morrison entered pleas of not guilty, including disobeying an officer — a Class A misdemeanor — after he neglected to stop for an officer who attempted to stop him as he allegedly fled in a vehicle from the store on Glenwood Avenue.
Police say Maynes was operating a Mazda Protege on a suspended license, second offense, also a Class A misdemeanor, when an officer made attempts to stop his vehicle. He was also charged with reckless operation and misuse of plates as the license plates were registered to a Ford Taurus, not the Mazda.
The sedan was found Tuesday evening on Foundry Street in Rollinsford where Maynes allegedly abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. A K9 unit from the Rochester Police Department was unable to successfully track the suspect.
Due to an extensive criminal record which includes trespassing, driving after revocation, and possession of controlled drugs, among other charges the state presented in court Thursday, Maynes is ordered to not be within 50 feet of the store and to not be within 100 feet of the employee to whom he allegedly passed a note demanding medication.
Should Maynes post bail, he will be monitored by Strafford County Community Corrections and monitored by ankle bracelet.
A probable cause hearing is scheduled for Dec. 14 at 10 a.m.

Holiday presents arrived early at the Burnaby Velodrome this week with the introduction of ten 650c 'small rider' track bikes. National Team members and recent World Cup gold medal winners Steph Roorda and Laura Brown were in attendance, medals in hand, for the unveiling of the bikes. "It's great to see the commitment and investment that the Velodrome has put into youth development with these new bikes and continued coaching support" said Roorda. Added Brown, "I see so many young riders being introduced to the track every week and having such a great time. It's a fantastic step for cycling in Canada!"
Now even younger athletes can be introduced to the thrill of one of North America's only indoor velodromes in a safe, exciting, and fun atmosphere. The bikes are specifically designed for smaller riders by having twenty-six inch wheels and more compact frame sizes.
The bikes are an integral piece to the expansion of the Youth and Junior cycling programs for the Burnaby Velodrome Club. Programs are run every Monday and Wednesday from 4-6pm and are led by certified Velodrome and Cycling BC coaches. The goal of the program is to introduce youth to the world of track cycling in a safe and fun atmosphere. The first three initial sessions are completely free including both bike rental and coaching.
If you are interested in learning more about the Burnaby Velodrome Youth Program please contact Jeff at jeff[at]burnabyvelodrome.ca. No experience required!

Quote:Chi balls are not even controversial to me. They simply do not exist, at all.
Quote: there's a thread and video somewhere that shows a Dim Mak practitioner against your standard karate guy. The Chi man has wagered his MA school (yes, he bet his school!) that he can use Chi to defeat any opponent. And the karate guy clobbers him. It's quite sad to watch. But funny at the same time... Wish I could find where the vid is, perhaps search youtube for Chi or something.
Quote:theirs alot of crap that surrounds the whole dim mak thing but i mean i'm sure that their is someone around who can trigger pressure points to cause CERTAIN effects such as KO's, i mean i met a guy who knocked himself out with a bouncy ball when he was throwing it in his house and it just caught him in the right spot

Coast Guard Pursues Enforcement Action against Bouchard
The U.S. Coast Guard said it is pursuing enforcement action against Bouchard Transportation Company after the shipping company failed to comply with a captain of the port order for one of its two vessels anchored in the Marine Safety Unit Port Arthur, Texas, area of responsibility.According to the Coast Guard, tugs Kim M. Bouchard and Danielle M. Bouchard and their associated barges have been anchored off Texas Point since mid-December with no known plans to move and crews unpaid since January, raising safety concerns for the crews remaining aboard as well as the public and other professional mariners, and environmental concerns for the region.
C&C Building Towboat Trio for Hines Furlong
Hines Furlong Line currently has a trio of identical 6,000-horsepower towboats on order at C&C Marine and Repair in Belle Chasse, La.The timing is right to order the high-power newbuilds, said Kent Furlong, president and founder of Hines Furlong Line (HFL), citing the long-term implications of Subchapter M and the industry's aging higher horsepower line haul fleet as key drivers behind the decision. "Many of the high-horsepower vessels in the HFL fleet are among the oldest," he said. "And many of the 6,000-horsepower vessels on the market are decades old, and not many have been ordered in the last 30 years.
Livestock Carrier Queen Hind Refloated
Operations to raise a livestock carrier that capsized in the Black sea off Romania in November came to a close on Tuesday night, said local marine services firm Gruup Servici Petoliere (GSP).The Palau-registered Queen Hind flipped onto its side shortly after leaving Romania's Midia port en route to Saudi Arabia at the end of November 2019. Its entire crew, most of them Syrians, were rescued. Only 180 of the estimated 14,000 sheep on board survived.The Queen Hind is now docked and normal operations have resumed in Midia Harbor following a "tireless human and technical effort" to refloat the vessel, said Gabriel Comănescu, GSP president and CEO.

I'd like to install a custom ROM on my LG GT540.
It looks like that in order to enable fastboot and make the whole process a lot easier, a custom ROM must be installed the first time with a program called KDZ. This program seems to work on windows only.
Is it possible to enable fastboot and/or install a custom ROM using Linux?

No — but what if he was? McLaren answers that question in their new Tooned cartoon.
It's not like Hunt's life needed more excitement (watch Rush and you'll see what I mean), but this alternate history is pretty great. And there is actually some precedent for a prominent athlete being a spy. I mean, just look at Moe Berg.
