jookyboi necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 50 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
We are a web-startup with a unique idea: to raise charity money through having people "challenge" each other to do things. Need two template pages designed: a homepage with general information about the site and a "challenge" page with info about current challenges. We have well-defined guidelines about the layout of each page as well as the color scheme to be used. There are also layout images created by a previous designer from which you can derive inspiration. All HTML/CSS needs to be web-standards compliant and must work on IE6/7, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. The $700 will be paid once we receive the template. Developers will be adding dynamic content to the template so you must be willing to remain in contact for questions or in case additional work needs to be done.
We also have specific requirements for the logo design so please read on if you are interested in this contest.
Shine together like a million suns
Desired Color Scheme:
Orange/yellow with shades of black for contrast
Desired Style:
Web 2.0
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
Overview of the Organization
We are a company called AMillionSuns. A few months ago, we came up with an innovative idea for charity donations: Rather than simply asking others for money, use the web 2.0 mentality of exhibitionism to elicit donations. We envisioned a website that would act as a hub for various people to post "challenges", events in which they would do something (often unusual or funny) if they could receive a predefined amount of donations for a cause. For example, a typical challenge might be: "Mike would walk the Great Wall of China if he could get $1000 for the American Red Cross". The idea was part social networking, part exhibitionism, and part charity drive.
We already have a fairly well conceived idea of what the site structure would look like. Click here (pdf) for a diagram of the sitemap.
There are also uncoded illustrations done by a previous designer detailing some of the main features of the site. You can find them below:
- homepage_illustration
- subsection illustrationThese illustrations are here for inspiration reasons only; they are not meant to be exactly what we want. As they stand, the preconceived layout is too cluttered and has too much content for beta deployment. Whats more, we no longer go by the name of BeExtraordinary.
AMillionSuns.com means exactly what it sounds like. The idea is that each person can be his/her own sun but collectively, we can shine together collectively as a million suns. Thus, we would like to preserve the bright orange-yellow color scheme from the two homepage illustrations above. However, don't take this as a strict requirement. If you can find other ways of representing the concepts of shining or brightness, feel free to include that in the coded template.
We already have well defined layouts for the two pages. Both have to satisfy the following requirements:
- Able to be displayed well on a typical 1024x768 monitor
- Layout must be center-aligned
- Web-standards compliant (nested tables discouraged)
- Header needs to contain- The company logo
- A tabbed link navigation system incorporating the 4 mains sections detailed in the site map (challenges, clusters, marketplace, how it works)
- The footer should leave room for general information about contact or RSS feed linksChallenge Page Layout
A drawing of the challenge page layout can be found here.
We would like the challenge page to be the entry point for a logged in user. It contains all the information about the user's challenge as well as for the ones he's connected to (look at subsections in sitemap).
- The left-hand site column with the profile/search and ads subsections should be about 1/3 to 1/4 the width of the entire site.
- The two larger subsections (my challenges, challenges I donated to) should have room for more detailed info about challenges. Descriptions here could contain a photo, text, and a meter showing how much has been donated thus far.
- The directory of challenges would be a Yahoo-like directory sorted by subject.Homepage Layout
A drawing of the homepage layout can be found here.
The homepage is the default entry point for an unregistered user. It contains content and media that should draw the visitor into exploring the site or registering to become a challenge host.
- There needs to be a bar at the top used for searching by person or challenge name and for site login.
- The two subsections below the bar (flash movie, how a challenge works) needs to be clearly visible on a 1024x768 resolution. The flash movie section should be a little larger in terms of height. (you don't need to do the flash movie, just put a placeholder here for now)
- How a challenge works has a graphical list of steps for starting and completing a challenge.
- The news/featured subsection just talks about whats been going on (current events or cool challenges)
- The hot challenges subsection is simply a list of popular challenges which users can click intoÂ
We would like the company logo to reflect the theme of a million suns. It should be bright but still fit the color scheme of the website. Though we envisioned maybe a sun shining down from the top left corner of the site, please be as creative as you'd like with the design. Ideally, the logo should reflect the collective radiance of a group of individuals.
My name is Rui and you can e-mail me at email@example.com. Though our correspondence will be forwarded to the rest of the team for discussion, I will be your primary contact. Feel free to ask about anything at all, from the purpose of the site to detailed layout concerns. Keep in mind that we value quality over quantity.

Editor's note: Drag the slider left or right to see how the locations just after the storm and six months later
(CNN) -- When Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines on November 8, 2013, it struck the city of Tacloban hard.
The capital city of Leyte province, nearly 400 miles south-east of Manila, was one of the first places hit by the storm and was devastated by a huge "storm surge" fueled by winds that reached an average of 195 mph (310 kmph).
Around 200,000 people were made homeless in a matter of hours as a wall of ocean water flattened their homes.
Tacloban City Stadium was one of just a handful of structures in the area to withstand the storm, despite its coastal location.
CNN camera operator Scott Clotworthy visited it and other locations in Tacloban used by the AFP agency seven months ago and shot these updated photos.

i sort of lovehate Atom. On one hand i love that they're really trying to make many things derby specific, on the other hand, i feel like they're going too far with it. Obviously they're great skaters, but they give me the "Be like Mike" feeling, like: wear air jordans and you'll be like Mike. . . . or ... not.
Atom is hot right now, and derby girls will buy buy buy... i say:
"let them skate on less responsive plates on tiny little knee pads. Ability isn't bought, it's learned."

I feel you on the "be like mike statement". What works for the folks at Atom may not be what the rest of us are searching for and requiring. You're right. There is no substitute in skate gear for ability and time spent developing that ability. But there is also something to be said for trying all of the gear you can get your hands on, and selecting the best product for the what you intend to use it for. Being familiar with all types of gear and understanding how it works for the individual is incredibly valuable in becoming a better skater.
It does irritate me a bit that some Atom fans are seemingly so brainwashed that they can't see that the wheels are doing nothing for their performance. I have heard 165+girls complain and say they cant figure out why they are not performing the same as another lighter skater on the exact same boot/plate/wheels set up. Some of that is lack of skill, and other times it isn't.
I consistently suggest true aluminum core wheels for girls over 150-160, as Atom does not offer any true aluminum core wheels. They are the same nylon core with metal caps.
The brainwashing goes so deep at times that they insist they must skate on an Atom wheel or nothing at all. Why? I only give brand loyalty to those who make a consistently superior product. If it isn't working for you, then why not try something different? If Atom or another wheel works well and you find your performance improving...great. If not, try other wheels and move on.
I highly respect that Julie Glass and others at Atom are making more products for the derby community. I think that is a wonderful thing as there is a need for attention to that market. On the other hand, it irks me that they seemingly produce products that I find to be inferior to other products and then stick huge price tag on it.
That is simply my experience with Atom's products. I want to like what they put out and support my derby community, but if it does nothing for me, I will be needing to spend my money elsewhere.
However, I tend to agree with them regarding 45 degree plates. I havent found any benefit to them as far as speed. Great tight turns and loops with little effort but I can do that on my own with my da10 plate, foot, ankle, knee, and body position with greater control.
I am very interested to see what they have to offer in this new 19-20 degree plate and am hoping to try it as soon as it is available. Like the folks at Atom, I have a hockey/roller derby/speed skating background and think they may really be onto something with this plate idea. Let's see the execution of it before we judge it. Let's all try it out before we give our final reviews regarding this.

I really liked narrow Strokers as grippy wheels for playing derby, but I had several hub failures.... if the same urethane was poured on a cheap plastic hub, I would have been fine, but then again, no one will pay $120 for a set of wheels with those hubs.
Maybe if the knee pads keep getting smaller, they will have to change the rules to "Take an elbow" instead of taking a knee. According to Atom, Derby people should not be kneeling down anyway.

I would compare the DA45 to a manual moreso than anything with lesser action because more skill is required by the skater to keep them under control. Just as you need to build up muscle and balance from switching cushions on any plate, or loosening the action up a little, skating a plate that allows the user more control will take additional time/strength/balance to master.
As far as Atoms go, I like 'em. The lightest setup I ever had was Skins on a Bont with Atom wheels. THe only metal on that setup were the trucks and bearings, but I could run, jump, and turn my feet over so quickly in those things. The wheels didn't make it entirely possible, but they added to the experience. Then again, I've never had hub issues but I've seen them firsthand, like Elle's and Cat's hubs popping during the middle of a scrimmage. Guess I'm just lucky!

Anyways, as I've mentioned elsewhere, I don't think very much of this campaign or Atom's last PR debacle (the falling video). Talk about products you CURRENTLY HAVE or are about to start selling. Not a product that's in the pipeline that could surprisingly fall out of the pipeline.
But when you DO have an actual product to push, push it by saying it's a good product, not that something else isn't any good or is obsolete. And don't insult customers while you're at it...

Let me take it a bit further then. Don't insult/piss off the kind of people who make recommendations to the customers you'd like to have.
The SLF crowd isn't terribly hard to piss off, but when you've inspired two different lengthy threads that are more about how nearly everyone disagrees with or dislikes what you've said rather than arguing with one another, you're probably doing the PR thing wrong.

ATOM name changes.
I did alot of there stuff when they were MATTER Wheels. Along with Mo.
There best INlines were The Matter Brand. World Wide. They started making quads and it was difficult to go online and get Matter quads,you got inlines.
Changed Co quad name to Answer. If you raced motorcycles you know Answer is a motorcycle race line of stuff. Has been for years.
So they had to change again. Atom is here to stay.
The only other company that could claim a infringement now is the A Bomb makers. And they don't want to get the scrutiny. ?? Are where there at.

Okie's right about that. They had to change their name in the past because of trademark issues. Their name change(s) have had nothing to do with their reputation or their products. Rebranding your company is rather costly to do, you only do it if the alternative would be more expensive.

Who wants to bet that these quad skates they're working on will have the plates mounted all the way to the back with a long wheelbase? ;p

Neither contributor mentioned Sport Mount, or where the measurements for those reduced plate sizes actually come from ... whoever sends out rude emails and IDs as being from here really needs to stop, though

The thing that perplexes me is that people are unable to separate DA45 and Short/Forward. One is a plate and one is a mounting technique. You can use a DA45 plate mounted as long as you like, you you can mount any plate short and forward... it all depends on your preference.
Just because you can mount a DA45 short and forward does not mean they are mutually exclusive.

Some people will never get it, think their way is the best, and push it on other people. I suggest but let the skater decide (unless they want junk),out of the about 10 pairs of skates I have put together for derby girls all short forward mounted, haven't ever had one ask for a longer plate...and I have offered!

From the article in the link:
What be described by Doug Glass is similar to "sport mount" but not forward.

This article on Debylife really pisses me off. Funny too but the jammer in the photo looks like she's got a bit of speedskater form going on, they obviously didn't notice that.

With the advent of virtual reality (also commonly referred to as VR), there has been a lot of talk in tech and entertainment about what this new technology means for their industries. But VR is expected to have a much wider-reaching impact, and is already affecting the way some doctors approach Alzheimer's care.
"At Visiting Angels, we're always excited about the promise new technologies hold for our clients and seniors everywhere," says Larry Meigs, CEO of Visiting Angels. "Anything that makes living easier for seniors, especially those with Alzheimer's, is always positive."
VR's impact can already be seen – albeit, in a limited way – in how a handful of doctors and researchers are diagnosing and treating the disease. Read on to find out how Alzheimer's care professionals are already using VR and the ways this new technology may affect the future of Alzheimer's and dementia treatment.
Alzheimer's has already become remarkably easier to detect thanks to VR technology. In October of last year, German Alzheimer's care scientists published a study in which they used a virtual maze to help detect Alzheimer's. In the study, the scientists tested people between 18 and 30 years old and had them try to navigate a VR maze.
Amazingly, this test proved successful. Based on how different people moved through the maze, the scientists were able to accurately identify which subjects held genetic markers for Alzheimer's. This means that with the help of VR, scientists can diagnose high-risk patients as young as 18 years old, allowing families to plan for future Alzheimer's care.
VR has already made its way into Alzheimer's treatment in a handful of trials by leading Alzheimer's care professionals. One such trial, performed in 2014, used Microsoft Kinect technology to create peaceful scenes – such as a sunlit forest – that Alzheimer's sufferers were able to interact with. Another more recent trial This type of treatment is called "sensory therapy," and are touted for their safety and therapeutic uses. Normally, it is too risky to introduce Alzheimer's sufferers into certain environments, no matter how relaxing. But with VR, these Alzheimer's care professionals have been able to build relaxing environments where patients are totally safe.
Since virtual reality is still in its infancy, it is tough to predict exactly how much of an impact this technology will have on Alzheimer's care. Many people see a lot of potential in VR's therapeutic uses, and as the technology becomes more widespread, accessible, and affordable, we may see VR play a much bigger role in treatment.
One exciting possibility is the creation of virtual environments that remind Alzheimer's patients of their childhoods. It may even be possible to create customized environments for individual patients, introducing music or details that are particularly soothing.

You know how I love my geocaching thing-a-ma-bobs. Those handy must haves to help you while geocaching. Today's find would have been a real pain had it not been for my trusty mirror. Above you see the cache nestled in the corner of some 2x4s. Would have taken me forever by feeling my way around this structure. Be prepared really comes true when geocaching.
As an added note a mirror is also very important if you ever want search and rescue people to find your lost and wondering self. Shining the sun in the direction of a helicopter or rescue party can sometimes mean the difference of being found or not. Just a friendly FYI.

And then there was this year.
It started with a storm warning for the entire region:
Oookay, then. Not just rain, but high winds were expected, and traveler warnings went out all over the news and social media.
Yeah, but this is the Pacific NorthWet, so what's a little rain? We all know that September is highly unpredictable, and I watched the little weather icons on my computer change as often as a 19th century lady of fashion. Rain? Sun? Wind? Thunderstorms? Who knew what we'd face come Saturday morning?
So, as we gathered in carpools and drove up to the festival at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds, the winds were kicking up. By the time I got there, the outdoor booths were battened down, tarps shielding the goods inside. The rain was just a drizzle at that point, so we had a stroll around.
Under the protection of tarps and plastic, the intrepid vendors went on. Some worked at spinning or knitting, and there was this lady with a peg loom:
The wool stayed protected under the canopies, but hey, it once protected sheep from the rain, so what's a little dampness? Here's Huckleberry Knits, still bright with color:
The indoor vendors fared just fine, and when the rain started coming down in sheets, some people retreated indoors (or hid under the canopies). The Bellwether was there with locally-raised wool:
This will be the last year that Blue Moon Fiber Arts comes to OFFF, alas! We will miss the chance to buy Mill Ends and Rare Gems at the fiber shows (I guess we'll have to make the trek up to the Barn Sale instead, oh, twist my arm...):
A lovely blaze of color from Woolgatherings:
And we're losing Crown Mountain, too, for they're going out of business and moving to Germany. Lots of folks snatched up some bargains this year:
Out in the barns, things were a little damp, but these Angora goats were well protected against the elements:
The Shetland sheep looked right at home:
Some alpacas just got a haircut but seemed to be taking things in stride:
And the Angora bunnies were insulated under all of their fluff:
As for spinning on the lawn... that got moved upstairs in the Main Pavilion. Some spinners brought chairs, others borrowed whatever chairs and benches the fair organizers could rustle up. Groups of friends gathered to eat lunch, spin, knit, show off their purchases, and learn from each other:
There was quite a crowd, but people moving in and out all afternoon:
The spinning and knitting entries were upstairs, and this display of gorgeous RavensTail weaving, which is tradition weaving from the Pacific Northwest. Originally it was done with the wool of Mountain goats or from little wool dogs (now extinct, alas). The weft is heavy-gauge tightly thigh-spun, while the weft is very fine. Twined weaving on a warp-weighted loom produces the patterns and designs.
Here's the master weaver at work, with a project on the loom:
I didn't plan to buy much. I've got so much stash already, and spent most of my budget on a pair of nice hand cards. I found one Mill Ends skein of Socks that Rock from Blue Moon that I'll use for a pair of socks for hubs, since I'm pretty well outfitted with socks for right now. At a used book booth I found The Four Little Puppies, a book I remember having as a child, which had been my Dad's book. I don't know where it went to, but now I have a copy and can reread the adventures of Wags, Tags, Rags, and Obadiah. And... oh, dear, as though I don't have enough fiber already, but a friend came with llama fleeces that a relative who raises llamas gave her, and was giving them away. How do you say no to a free llama fleece?
What I will DO with a free llama fleece is still another question. Glad I bought the hand cards now.
And on the way home we hit a chocolate shop in Canby:

Two conservative groups go after Bob Beauprez
Two hard-right conservative groups are taking swings at gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez over his positions on guns and liberty.
The state's most strident gun-rights group, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, is airing a radio ad attacking the former congressman for his votes on gun issues, and urging Republicans to support former state Sen. Mike Kopp in Tuesday's GOP primary.
Beauprez fired back at the gun group's controversial executive director, Dudley Brown, in an interview on KHOW, saying, "Dudley is in it for Dudley."
And The Republican Liberty Caucus of Colorado is taking umbrage with a radio ad from Beauprez. In the ad, Beauprez says, "As your governor, I'll lead by a clear set of principles. If a policy infringes on your freedom, I'll stand in opposition. If a policy preserves individual liberties, I'll defend it."
The liberty caucus said in its news release that while in Congress Beauprez "voted for multiple assaults on our liberties under the Bill of Rights," including allowing warrantless wiretapping.
Also running for the GOP nomination for governor are former Congressman Tom Tancredo and Secretary of State Scott Gessler. Tancredo is also being hit by attack ads from fellow Republicans, questioning his votes in Congress on firearms and financial matters.

New dad Channing Tatum has revealed he was medicated for a learning disability as a child in a candid new magazine interview.
The Hollywood hunk sat down with Vanity Fair magazine and opened up about his childhood bouts of depression, caused by his dyslexia treatment.
The "Magic Mike" star says, "For a time it would work well. Then it worked less and my pain was more. I would go through wild bouts of depression, horrible comedowns.
"I understand why kids kill themselves. I absolutely do. You feel terrible. You feel soul-less. I'd never do it to my child."
Tatum became a first-time father last Friday when his wife, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, gave birth to a daughter named Everly.

This "security guard" watches Gecko Hardware store like a hawk.
He's a rooster named Prince George, and he's winged royalty at this Dallas store, where customers flock to see him.
"They'll be shopping around in this department and all of a sudden they'll be like oh my god that's a rooster!" said Gecko store owner, Andrea Ridout.
He doesn't mind being petted. One customer, Cynthia Simpson, said, "He's an excellent bird, when you stop in he'll look you in the eye."
Ridout took in the rooster because she also sells chicks at her home improvement store. His previous owners thought he'd be too ornery, but that hasn't been the case for Ridout.
"Sometimes it'll get hairy around here and I'll pick him up and hold him and snuggle and he loves it," Ridout said.
It is against city code to have poultry walking around inside a store, but Ridout said they got an exemption.
He's been at the store for a year now, and he'll likely rule the roost for as long as he wants.

Austral Tim
Tim continues to be a bit of an enigma wrapped in a conundrum. Although he did deliver yet another quality start (17 of 23 for Tim and 10 of last 12 for team), he was very uncharacteristically hurt by the long ball - a 2 run shot (after a two out 4 pitch walk!) and a solo shot for the difference. That makes the 11th and 12th this year, but six of those have been in the last month. We better keep an eye on that. His numbers: 6.1 innings, 6 hits, 3 runs, 3 walks, 7 strikeouts.
I'm going to step aside quickly as I sense a rush of comments about to pour out of MOC. Was this a perfect game to show the power of the homer, or what? We have a gazillion scoring chances but can't get a key hit; they have few chances but win with a couple big flies. Go ahead, get it out of your system, PONTIFICATE your heart out...if you don't say something, your head will explode.

I was surprised by the long ball, too. The Braves aren't really a home run club. The Giants have more as a team. You know, for all my hollering about homers, we know it's about scoring when you have the chances, and the Giants couldn't get that done. Jair Jurrjens was in trouble all night long but wriggled out of it. Got great work from the bullpen, although Wagner looked hittable.
Tim deserved better. He made some guys look silly. Great game, taut, well-played. Get 'em tomorrow, eh?
- Thu Aug 05, 07:56:00 PM PDT
I was saddened by the loss. I can't even remember the last time we lost TWO in a ROW. Well, at least the Rockies lost and I'm fine with either the Padres or the Dodgers losing. They're tied for the teams I hate most (though I'm not too fond of the Braves either). I don't understand it, their balls kept going but ours just died and some of them sounded pretty good off the bat too. I still can't believe that we couldn't move runners better. Jurrjens was very hittable early on and we couldn't add on. Hopefully this will wake up the offense tomorrow. Go Giants!

Pressly doesn't disappoint in big league debut
BALTIMORE -- With closer Glen Perkins warming up to protect a one-run lead against the Tigers on Thursday, rookie reliever Ryan Pressly figured he'd have to wait at least one more day before making his Major League debut.
When the Twins scored five runs in the bottom of the eighth to take a six-run lead, Pressly got called upon to pitch the ninth inning.
"The phone rang and I knew it meant only one thing was going to happen," Pressly said. "So [bullpen coach] Bobby [Cuellar] told me I was going in and needed to get ready in a hurry, but I was ready. I had plenty of time to get ready."
Pressly didn't disappoint in his debut, as he tossed a scoreless inning to close out the game and even struck out former Twins center fielder Torii Hunter.
"It was pretty fun," Pressly said. "I've been waiting a long time for that."
Pressly, who was selected from Boston in the Rule 5 Draft during the Winter Meetings, must stay with the Twins all season or be offered back to the Red Sox. Minnesota wanted to wait for the perfect situation to bring in Pressly for his first game considering he had only reached Double-A before this season.
"We wanted to find the right situation with a big lead," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We didn't have much pitching out there, so we were able to score some runs and avoid having Perk go in. So we got him his opportunity and he threw good."

By Ben Golliver
The Lakers need all hands on deck for their sprint toward the playoffs. But an ailing shoulder has sidelined Dwight Howard for the last week, apparently testing the patience of Kobe Bryant.
The All-Star guard seemed to suggest in an ESPNBoston.com interview on Wednesday that the time is now for Howard to return.
"We don't have time for [Howard's shoulder] to heal," Bryant said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with ESPNBoston.com's Jackie MacMullan. "We need some urgency."
"[Howard] has never been in a position where someone is driving him as hard as I am, as hard as this organization is," Bryant told MacMullan. "It's win a championship or everything is a complete failure. That's just how [the Lakers] do it. And that's foreign to him."
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that Howard dismissed the notion that he lacked urgency to return and preached the virtues of the bigger picture.
"He's not a doctor. I'm not a doctor. So that's his opinion," Howard said. "I mean, I want to play. But at the same time, this is my career, this is my future, this is my life. I can't leave that up to anybody else because nobody else is going to take care of me.
"If people are [ticked] off that I don't play, that I do play, whatever it may be, so what? This is my career. If I go down, then what? Everybody's life is going to go on. I don't want to have to have another summer where I'm rehabbing and, you know, trying to get healthy again. I want to come back and have another great year."
The Times further reported that Bryant clarified Thursday that he was not suggesting that Howard needed to return immediately from his injury.
"Not even a little bit," Bryant said in a quiet moment after the team's morning shoot-around, adding that he was surprised at the tone of the ESPN story. "In this case, it's not legitimate. I was shocked."
Howard, 27, suffered a torn labrum in his right shoulder in January. He was initially listed as out indefinitely, and he missed three games before coming back on Jan. 13. He reaggravated the injury during a Jan. 30 game against the Suns and underwent platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatment in an attempt to help the healing process. He sat out the Lakers' last three games before going through shootaround on Thursday. He's listed as a game-time decision for Thursday night's game in Boston.
The "urgency" factor increased for the Lakers this week when Pau Gasol was lost to a foot injury that is expected to sideline him for at least one month. Reserve forward Jordan Hill sustained a season-ending hip injury in January, too, leaving Howard, forwards Earl Clark and Antawn Jamison and rookie center Robert Sacre as the team's only "big men."
This is a classic "chickens coming home to roost" scenario for Howard, whose disastrous handling of his free agency and eventual exit from Orlando has found another way to catch up with him here. One of the NBA's most physically imposing and durable players, Howard -- who missed just seven games total over his first seven seasons -- has played through pain after undergoing back surgery last season, saying recently that his legs even "tingle" at times. His reputation, until the last two seasons, was as a physical beast you could count on putting up 20 points and 10 rebounds every night.
Had he not waffled, deceived and refused to commit to a franchise long term, the notion that he wasn't returning from injury in a proper timeline wouldn't be a legitimate topic of discussion for Bryant (assuming he did) or anybody else. His track record would speak for itself and there would be no reason to doubt him. Calling out a person (or teammate) for not returning from an injury quickly enough amounts to a character attack in professional sports; not only are you saying that the person is a wimp but that he's also letting down the rest of his team. Aiming that type of argument at Howard would sound ludicrous going solely off of his play and availability from 2004-2010. But his off-court antics now get conflated with anything that goes wrong on the court or in the training room.
Howard has further painted himself into a corner by refusing to discuss his future with the Lakers, saying only that he's committed to trying to win a championship this season. Combine that hesitation with his statements that he doesn't want to be rehabilitating this summer and that it's "my career," and the door is open wide for critics to suggest he's putting himself above the team. The emphasis should be on the word "career" -- because avoiding long-term damage or an extended rehabilitation is always the top priority -- but the only word people hear in that sentence is "my" because of the hangover from the "Dwightmare." That saga included a trade request; his exercising his contract option for 2012-13 instead of signing a long-term deal; a ludicrous press conference in which he expressed his "loyalty" to the Magic; an awkward encounter with former coach Stan Van Gundy; the dismissals of Van Gundy and former GM Otis Smith; a blockbuster trade to the Lakers; and another full season of impending free agency limbo.

Nim the chimp was born in 1973 at the Institute for Primate Studies in Oklahoma. A few days later, he was taken from his mother Carolyn and placed in the care of Stephanie Lafarge, a graduate student of Columbia University professor Herb Terrace. Nim would be the object of Terrace's language experiment, which theorized that, if treated like a human infant, a chimpanzee could learn to communicate like one--the "nature vs. nurture" argument, tested in an extended family. Glancing at the promotional materials, I presumed Project Nim would begin and end with the experiment. I was very, very wrong.
Nim's story is told by director James Marsh and producer Simon Chinn, whose previous documentary collaboration was the masterful Oscar-winner Man On Wire. (Marsh also directed Red Riding 1980--for my money, the best of the Red Riding trilogy.) They tell the story, as they did that one, with a mixture of fascinating archival footage, photos, new interviews, and complimentary recreations. It is a short but patient picture, examining first how Nim was raised by the Lafarges as not just a child, but as a hippie child; what harm is there in a sip of alcohol, a puff on a joint, a sexual fascination with his human "mother"? "It was the '70s," daughter Jenny shrugs.
Marsh doesn't poke fun at the stranger elements of the story--he acknowledges them, yes (and not without humor), and then moves on. But he takes the tale seriously, keying in on the power struggle that erupted between Stephanie and Laura, the "teacher" who was brought in to advance Nim's sign language; there's no narration, so there's no blatant commentary, but much is said in how the filmmakers expertly intercut their contradictory points-of-view.
Dr. Terrace eventually decides that Stephanie's home isn't the most productive atmosphere for his experiment, so he removes her from the equation and moves Nim and Laura out to a country estate, bringing on a couple of new teachers. Their life there is idyllic; the images of Nim and his cat friend are off-the-charts cute. Bill and Joyce, the two new teachers, fall in love; so, after a fashion, do Laura and Terrace. That's where things start to get sticky--you can't "control" these inter-personal relationships, nor can you control a strong, fast-growing chimpanzee, whose dangers are slowly becoming a factor. "You can't give human nurturing to an animal that could kill you," Laura notes. Marsh foreshadows that conundrum with palpable tension.
And more than that I will not say, as one of the pleasures of Project Nim is how its fabulous, fascinating story unfolds, full of stranger-than-fiction twists and colorful characters. Suffice it to say that what happens to Nim is genuinely shocking, and it's a testament to the power of the picture that we're so upset, so affected by the events it recounts. Silly as it may be to say, we feel like we actually know this chimp; late in the film, there's a shot of him sitting in a tire, laying back, and he just looks miserable. We feel for him. We've gone on a journey with him.
Marsh is a confident, assured documentary filmmaker; his pacing and construction is swift and engaging, his reenactments helpful without encroaching. As with any good documentarian, he doesn't have to tell us who the villains are--he just gives them enough rope to hang themselves. Suffice it to say that Dr. Terrace does not come off well; Marsh just allows him to keep insisting that his past and present romances with these attractive female grad students have no effect on the project, and when an interpreter leaves the experiment after having her face ripped open by Nim, his shrugs, "You just can't count on having outstanding teachers all the time." Thanks, doc!
Some of the filmmaking is too self-consciously stylized (the tracking shots to and away from the interview subjects are a bit too much), but Marsh is indisputably gifted at harnessing the emotional power of his stories; Bill and Joyce still nurse open wounds ("We did a disservice to that soul," she says today, "and shame on us"), and a later caretaker, a good-natured Grateful Dead fan named Bob, becomes something of a third-act hero. But we're still not quite prepared for how extraordinary and moving the conclusion of Project Nim is. This is a tricky, complicated story, full of pitfalls and trap doors for lesser filmmakers. Marsh and Chinn bring it off without a hitch. This is a wonderful film.

State panel wants more information before ruling on Obama's ballot eligibility
Topeka ? Kansas election officials said Thursday that they want more information before deciding whether to remove President Barack Obama from the state's November ballot.
The all-Republican State Objections Board heard arguments Thursday on a claim from a Manhattan, Kan., resident that Obama is not eligible to be president because his father was from Kenya. The resident, Joe Montgomery, also questions whether Obama has a valid birth certificate.
The notion that Obama was born anywhere other than in Hawaii has long been discredited, and the White House released his long-form birth certificate last year. Hawaii officials also have repeatedly confirmed his citizenship. His mother was a Kansas native.
The state board is led by Secretary of State Kris Kobach, an ardent voter ID proponent who during his successful 2010 campaign suggested Obama should produce his long-form birth certificate to quell doubts about his status. The board's other members are Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer.
The board, which would have the final say on the ballot absent a court challenge, plans to meet again Monday and may rule then. Time to make changes is running out, however, as ballots to overseas military personnel must be mailed before the end of September.
Kobach said the delay shouldn't be interpreted as the board giving credence to claims that Obama isn't eligible, but as a signal it wants to build a more complete record. He noted that the board doesn't have any document certifying the authenticity of the copy of Obama's birth certificate that is available online.
"We have to take our responsibilities seriously," he said. "Taking it seriously means that we make a decision with all of the evidence that can be obtained before we decide it."
But Kansas Democratic Party Chairwoman Joan Wagnon called the delay "lunacy."
"This is absurd and insulting," she said. "This issue has been resolved — there is no issue."
Montgomery, 51, said Thursday that he has been researching issues surrounding Obama's eligibility for the past four years. The same arguments Montgomery made have circulated widely on the Internet and among so-called birthers, who doubt Obama's citizenship.
"I'm here to uphold the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States," Montgomery said after his objection was considered. "Somebody has to do it."
Montgomery also argued that to be eligible for president, both of Obama's parents had to be U.S. citizens when he was born, another long-circulating claim that includes citations of U.S. Supreme Court decisions, some more than a century old.
Schmidt and Kobach, a former University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor, disagreed. Kobach said Montgomery was "trying to read too much in these very old decisions."
But the board said Thursday it wants certified documents from Hawaii. Kobach plans to have his staff contact officials in Arizona and Mississippi, which also have looked into such issues. Hawaii sent Arizona official verification of Obama's birth records.
In 2010, after Kobach made his comments about Obama's birth certificate in answering questions at a campaign event, an aide attempted to clarify Kobach's stance and said he didn't subscribe to birther theories. On Thursday, asked by reporters whether he personally doubts Obama's citizenship, Kobach said he wants to wait on making a statement until "we have the full factual record in front of us."
Kobach said it will be difficult for Montgomery to prevail, particularly because Kansas has a high legal standard for removing a candidate from the ballot.
But he said, "I don't think it's a frivolous objection."
Neither the Democratic Party nor the Obama campaign had a representative at the meeting, but Kip Wainscott, an attorney for the campaign, sent the board a letter saying Montgomery's claims were "without merit."
"These tired allegations are utterly baseless," Wainscott wrote.
After the meeting, an Obama campaign spokesman didn't respond to an email seeking comment.
Wagnon, who was attending a nonpolitical meeting in New York, said, "I am disappointed that they don't have better things to do than to encourage this birther crowd."

IMO I think he's wrong about Big Ben
He should be 9th or 10th at least,,,,,,,,Young ranked 7th,you gotta be kidding me!
STEELERS FANS WILL NOT SOON FORGIVE MY DISS OF BIG BEN. From Brandon Schwab of Pittsburgh: "You're a moron. Have you forgotten about The Accident? The accident that will forever be burned in every Steelers fan's memory? Yes, people everywhere remember that day and its significance. He was phenomenal his first two years; need I remind you he was the youngest QB ever to lead his team to and win the Super Bowl? Not Manning, not Brady, not Elway, not Favre, not Montana, not Young. Those guys obviously are so much better than Big Ben up to this point and probably always will be, but come on, don't let one horrible year after a life-threatening accident force you to call him 'inconsistent.' Don't forget, he's only going into his fourth year, and he was rock-solid his first two years.''

When my kids were still in the "Read me ANOTHER bedtime story, Mommy!" phase, I'd say we owned at least 8,542 Berenstain Bears books. And that's a conservative estimate. As a parent, there were two things I liked about the series: First of all, they made me nostalgic for my own childhood ... my mother read me some of the very same titles when I was a kid.
Second of all, no matter what developmental phase my kids happened to be going through, there was always a Berenstain Bears book to help tackle the issue head-on (but still in a colorful, kid-friendly, anthropomorphic animal kind of way). Bad dreams? Stranger danger? First trip to the dentist? Too much junk food? Sharing toys? Those bears had the answer.
So I was sad to hear about the passing of Jan Berenstain, the children's author who co-created the Berenstain Bears with her husband Stan: She passed away on February 24th at the age of 88.
But certainly, the Berenstain legacy will live on for generations to come ...
Chances are you're already well-acquainted with Mama, Papa, Sister and Brother Bear. But if you're just meeting the family and don't know where to start, here are my recommendations for the 5 Essential Berenstain Bears Books every kid should have. (You'll probably end up with several thousand, like me, but everybody's gotta start somewhere.)
1. The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Chores. Yuck, chores! Everybody hates them! Leave it to clever Mama to teach those lazy clubs a lesson.
2. The Berenstain Bears and the Green-Eyed Monster. Jealousy is kind of an abstract concept to explain to little kids. Let this story of Brother Bear's new bike and Sister Bear's raging envy do it for you.
3. The Berenstain Bears' Moving Day. Got a big move coming up? Read this one a few times before you break the news. "Oh boy, Sister and Brother love their new house!"
4. The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday. If you've ever put your heart and soul (and paycheck) into throwing the best birthday party in the whole world only to find yourself surrounded by screaming 3-year-olds, this one's for you.
5. The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room. Full disclosure: My mom bought me this one a billion years ago in the hopes I'd be inspired to clean up my own room. (I never got the hint, but maybe your little one will!)
Do your kids love the Berenstain Bears? Which is your favorite?

I have an encrypted homedir (ecryptfs) and I'm wanting to run a private mysql daemon with the database files in my homedir. The daemon should be started whenever the homedir is mounted, and stopped before the homedir is unmounted. It seems I have to write an Upstart script, which doesn't seem too hard; the problem is triggering it.
Is there already any Upstart event that is sent on these occasions? Or must I insert an "initctl emit" somewhere? Where? It seems the encrypted homedir is mounted whenever I either open my GUI session or ssh to my account. Is there a common place in these two processes where I might insert code?
(I don't want to patch and compile any C code, just insert maybe a few lines somewere.)

At that day, as arranged by fate, He Huas father got up much earlier than usual, since he wanted to collect tobacco leaves as more as possible for emergent reservation. It was true, recent days, the rumors about Japanese invaders were flying all over the sky, and he had to make some preparation for tobacco inventory before devils coming. Shortly after his exit from the east city gate, against the brightness of the dawn he dimly saw and heard a cloud of dust was penetrating to the eastern sky and rhythmical noises of paces were bumping on the road. When he went closer, he immediately went to panic, for he found the crowd was none other than a party of Japanese army! He horribly turned back and ran as quick as possible. In the mean time, the Japanese soldiers dispersed on both sides of the road in no time. With guns loading and ambiguous shouting, they quickly took over and surrounded the landlord. As an ancient saying, deadly fear may drive a dog to fly. He hardly found his way to escape and dashed to a well yard with unconscious discharges on his pants. He was really at a corner but no way to kickback. The brutal devils were simultaneously stabbing to him with their bestial laughing and shouting. Fu*k your Ja pan ese! , he mumbled and bitterly fell down with round eyes open. He was the first victim in this notorious Nan Chang Massacre. Besides, those lunatic gangsters caught his feet and plugged his body into the well. After the invaders entering the town, like a herd of crazy beasts, they were shooting innocent people, burning resident houses, raping any captured females from age of 10 to 70 and robbing whatever they like. No doubt, all property, which He Huas parents had spent lifetime efforts, had been completely destroyed in this disaster. Mum led He Hua to a suburb of Xin Jian County and became a pair of homeless and foodless refugees. They had no way to survive, but to beg everywhere and to dwell in a dilapidated temple. Several months later, Mum had suffered from diarrhea and soon died in front of her dedicated shrine. He Hua was crying day and night. The grief she felt was not only over Mum's death, but also for no means to bury her body. At last, enlightened by a drama scene, she pasted a piece of paper in front of her chest with the wording of Mercy! Sell myself for Moms funereal and kneeled down on street. A bawd in a famous brothel, known as Peach Yard bought her. She had served as a little waitress for more than 5 years there. At age of 15 she was forced to start the sexual service. The next year, a junior military officer of KMT (The National Democratic Party) redeemed and married her. Later on, since his army was transferred to Gan Yue County, the officer brought He Hua there too. The situation of Civil War was getting more and more tense; He Huas husband had been driven to a battlefront and left enormous gambling debts to her. Since then, he had no news at all. To dispatch those fierce gangsters who frequently urged her to repay the debts, He Hua had to sell off almost all property. No money, no deposit, neither any working skill, how could He Hua be survived? She had no way, but to remarry a bachelor neighbor, a tailor master, hunchback Song Qin. One adolescent lady matched an ugly handicapped dwarf; this fact had immediately become a fashion topic in teahouse or other public gathering area in Yu Gan County.

MONTREAL - Over the years, I have received relatively few complaint letters, and by few I mean probably fewer than 100. Having written almost 750 reviews, that number is low. Complaints usually come from people who don't agree with a review, be it positive or negative.
Every so often comes one head-scratcher of a complaint, three of which I will never forget. One was from a woman who pontificated at length over how I mentioned wine too often in reviews (I figure she's no oenophile), and another was from a man questioning why I didn't have a line on the boilerplate of the review listing portion size (I figure he's a glutton). Then came one from a reader complaining that I returned to review old restaurants too often instead of sticking to new establishments.
The first two complaints I waved off (wine is an essential part of the restaurant experience and any unusual developments re: portion size would be mentioned in the write-up). The third, though, I did not. Restaurants are a constantly evolving enterprise that can last for decades or months, improving constantly or, worst-case scenario, becoming complacent and disappointing Bob and Sally at every turn. Trust me, I get a lot of mail about that, too. I allow about three years before return visits, and on the whole, I'd say the chances of improvement or decline are about equal.
Five years ago, I wrote a positive review of the West Island's Mundo Trattoria. Located in the Piazza Azzurri strip mall at the corner of St-Charles Blvd. and Highway 40, Mundo is owned by chef Vito Maiolo, who shares the cooking duties with his mother, Quintina Mercuri. There is nothing more exciting for an English restaurant critic in Montreal than discovering a) a terrific restaurant in a strip mall and b) a terrific restaurant in the West Island! When I last dined there, I was impressed with most every bite. From the calamari to lobster ravioli to mama's biscotti, Mundo scored over and over. I've been wanting to return for an old-school Italian fix, so I scooped up the kids and headed to Kirkland.
Arriving on time for our 8 p.m. reservation, I was a bit teed off to find our table wasn't ready until 8:25. A few drinks on the house while waiting would have been nice. Instead, we were served some complimentary nibblies once seated, nice gesture if a little late coming. The 120-seat dining room was packed to the rafters, with quite the number of comely thirtysomethings, including plenty of girls in tight skirts and towering stilettos. Glamazons aside, there are also tables filled with couples and families.
Seated near the entranceway next to the glassed-in wine cellar and bustling bar (complete with flat-screen TV running the hockey game), I could see the open kitchen in the back. But if Maiolo and Mercuri were there, I didn't recognize them. Sadly, I didn't recognize much of the food, either. I remember Mundo's cuisine as traditional Italian made with panache. But few of the dishes I was served met my expectations from the past.
Panzanella, that great Italian salad composed of stale bread, tomatoes, onions, cucumber and basil, started off the meal on the wrong foot. Made of tomato segments, large pieces of cucumber, red onion and rock-hard chunks of baguette, the salad was hardly the cohesive mix of these foodstuffs bound together with vinaigrette, but more a bowl of individual ingredients, like a Greek salad.
A caprese salad fared better because the tomatoes were flavourful and the mozzarella was good quality. Yet there was so much of it that we could only manage half the dish.
Better was a bowl of mussels bathed in a creamy sauce enhanced with leek and ginger. But, again, the portion was far too large for a starter. Fortunately, the fried calamari was as delicious as I remember. Served with a spicy mayonnaise, the fat squid rings were tender and lightly breaded without being greasy. In my last review I called them the best I had tasted, and like the calamari at Milos, these are definitely in the top category.
Just when things were looking up, along came our four main courses: two mediocre pastas, a dreary meat dish and a risotto perhaps most generously described as downright awful. I had pleaded with Maiolo in my 2008 write-up to add a risotto to the menu. If they're like this one … mistake! Consisting of overcooked rice mixed with small shrimp and artichoke pieces, the risotto was not only too dense and starchy, but covered in a sprinkling of cheap Parmesan cheese. And the totally unrelated spear of rosemary garnish was just icing on the cake. Ugh.
Served on a huge plate, a dish of rolled veal scallopini stuffed with prosciutto and cheese lacked finesse. The first tastes of the meat roll were so tough and heavy that after a few bites, I lost interest. And as for the vegetable accompaniments, there was broccolini, red peppers, small yellow peppers and undercooked baby bok choy all spread about in a thin brown jus. Again the portion was too big, the flavours were dull and the presentation was just plunked on a plate topped with yet another — you guessed it — rosemary spear.
Alas, the pastas also lacked pizzazz. A dish of orecchetti with sun-dried tomatoes and arugula was all gummy textures and lacklustre flavours. And as for the classic bolognese served on shell-shaped pasta, I found the meat sauce lacked richness and depth of flavour. Frankly, my local pizza parlour can do better. And again, the dish was covered in more of that cheap-tasting Parmesan powder. No thanks.
Desserts dropped the dinner down even further. The tiramisu tasted mostly of coffee grains, and a caramel and chocolate tart was heavy and fabricated with the cheapest chocolate I've tasted in a while. Thank heavens for the crème brûlée, which my kids (who said they were too full to finish off the bolognese) devoured in six bites.
As for service … good, not great. It's not like the waiters did anything wrong, but I felt they were more plate carriers, save for the fellow who served us our wine, who made a little extra effort to commend our choice from the solid wine list with markups less egregious than I remember and many bottles under the $60 mark.
Paying the bill at my once-favourite West Island dinner spot, I was feeling more than a little downcast. Where was the sharp Italian food I remembered here from the past? Why such a heavy hand with the cooking? And what's with all those large portions?
Exiting the building, I spotted a framed copy of my 2008 review, and thought of that reader who complained about my revisiting old restaurants.
As my night at Mundo proved, no restaurant can rest on its laurels. And as for the reader looking for large portions, buddy, do I have the place for you …

This picture lends a bit of proof to the legend. The picture was labeled "First Airmail Delivery to Celina, 1934". Charles is on the left receiving the mailbag.
The Record of Appointment of Postmasters above shows that Charles was named Acting Postmaster on July 25, 1934 and assumed charge on August 1, 1934. He was nominated and confirmed for the position in 1935 and 1939 and he retired in 1954. I'm not sure why there were two confirmations, but maybe the first term was only for four years.

My Dad took the above photo of Charles working in his office in 1953.
