Ordforande needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 198 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Juridiska Föreningen vid Örebro universitet
We are a law-students association at a Swedish university
We are a very expansive law-studens association at the most expansive university in our country. We want to differ from the traditional law-students associations at the older universities by being more modern but yet seem professional and reliable.
The name:
"Juridiska Föreningen vid Örebro universitet" is Swedish and means "Law Association at Örebro university". When we don´t write the full name we use the abbreviation "JF Örebro"
We are interested in both a full version of the logo with the full name "Juridiska Föreningen vid Örebro universitet" and a short version with just our abbrevation "JF Örebro".
We are interested in suggestions with both only uppercase letters and lowercase letters. If lowercase letters are used, the "J", "F" and "Ö" should be uppercase, but never the "v" in vid and "u" in university (see the full name above).
Text and Typeface:
We are interested in everything that looks stylish and modern, yet professional. Maybe trade gothic? Maybe gotham? We are interested in seeing different suggestions. Maybe a two-font design, with a sans serif for "Juridiska Föreningen" and a serif for "vid Örebro universitet"? Would be nice to see fonts slightly altered (maybe some small tewak here or there) so they differ a bit from the original.
We haven´t yet decided what colors we will use for our new design, so we are interested in different suggestions. As mentioned above, the colors should seem fresh and modern but yet professional.
If symbols are used, they have to be used in a very stylish and neat way.
Since we are a law-students association we might be interested in law-related symbols. Some suggestions on symbols to experiment with are:
-a sectional symbol - §
-maybe something that revolves around the letter Ö
-the stars from the flag of the European Union (might be hard to incorporate in a stylish manner?) What the EU-flag looks like: http://www.topnews.in/files/eu-flag222.jpg
-the scales of justice (must not be used in a generic traditional way)
-a gavel (must not be used in a generic traditional way)
-a law-book (preferably something that looks like the most common Swedish law-book: http://www2.varberg.se/archive/komm…lagbok.gif
-a top of a castle (like the one used in the university logo. look under section "old logotypes and university logotypes" of this brief)
Please refrain from using any stock images or clip art in the logo
Versions and filetypes:
Main logo design is supposed to be in color
-We also need a single-color version for light backgrounds (the single color would preferably be the primary color for the main logo design)
-We also need a version for dark background.
We will require illustrator and EPS copies with both CMYK and RGB.
Old logotypes and university logotype:
If it´s possible you can try to design our new logotype in resemblance of or with inspiration from the logotype for our university. (http://www.oru.se). Of course our logotype cannot be too similar to that logotype, only inspiration is allowed.
Our present (old) logotype can be found here: http://www.jfo.nu

What is the most critical AIDS issue facing the African-American community?
There are a number of very important issues: the ongoing stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS, the need for an honest and open dialogue about sex and sexuality, and the role of incarceration in the spread of HIV, hepatitis C, and other diseases. While each of these is critical in and of itself, more than anything we must recognize that HIV/AIDS is connected to a larger challenge of addressing the systemic factors that contribute to the health disparities that impact our community. As African Americans, we are often overlooked and ignored by our government and the public health sector.
How would you best address that?
We have to fight to get a seat at the table, to get clinics and hospitals in our communities, to get doctors and nurses that look like us and speak like us, and to get AIDS funding like the Minority AIDS Initiative [$156 million in emergency funds for HIV in communities of color that the Congressional Black Caucus secured from the Clinton Administration in 1998]. Unless we stand up and demand our fair share, we will not be heard. We have to take initiative and speak up for ourselves, instead of relying on someone else to speak up for us. That is our challenge.
What are the top myths about HIV that you encounter?
There are many myths and rumors within our community about HIV, where it came from, how it is being spread, and even about a cure. We cannot let these myths detract from the facts, and the facts are: We know how HIV is spread. We know how to stop it from spreading, and we know how to treat it. Unfortunately, we do not yet have a cure, so as a community, it is important that we do not let the myths about HIV get in the way of efforts to stop its spread.
Can you recommend one action that we all should take to end the epidemic?
Every African-American has a responsibility to talk openly and honestly about HIV. While we must fight at the federal and state level to get access to health care, within our community, we can fight to break the silence about this issue. That means men and women have to talk to each other about HIV and about the need to use protection.
We've got to encourage an open dialogue within the church, so that pastors can have an honest discussion with their congregations, and we've got to have an open and honest discussion about homosexuality within the African-American community.
What message would you like to send to the many thousands of people with HIV who use The Body?
We stand with you. While your burden is great, by sharing your story you can help others within our community to better understand this disease and strengthen our fight against it.

One last thought about the opposite sex. Every fitness professional knows that gender stereotypes abound in the fitness facility setting — grunting, ripped men and scantily clad females dressed to pick up their soon-to-be date for Friday night. And although the health club world is changing to encourage more "normal" people into the gym and recreation centers these days, don't be fooled — many of your members are playing the gender card just fine.
For instance, take the weight area. The women's only section offers 1 lb. to 10 lb. free weights, and the women who use them seem to get major satisfaction from saying they've moved up 1 lb. in their free weight workout. However, in the testosterone-filled domain of the free weight room, a 1 lb. weight wouldn't even be used as a door prop. This area, which has contraptions that look more like torture devices than fitness gear, has been declared male territory, although a few brave and usually buff girls cross the line regularly.
At the opposite end of the testosterone spectrum sits the group exercise room. It is generally loaded with estrogen. Of course, some clubs have fantastic programs that cater to both sexes, but when you walk into most clubs' studios, you most likely will just see the ladies — with the exception of a couple of brave men.
As a group ex instructor myself, I admire these men. Defying the gender stereotypes and jumping right into the estrogen-dominated scene, these men usually come in two types: a guy who is a better or more skilled dancer than the instructor (or a former group ex instructor himself), and a ladies' man who figured out that one man to 30 or so women was better than the male-to-female ratio in the weight room. While these men don't need any tricks to get noticed in the class, they often pull a few nonetheless.
You would think that women wouldn't fall for these tricks anymore, but they work almost every time. A man will walk into the class, attracting the attention of every female. Once the music starts, he attempts to follow the instructor's cues, but usually trips over his feet or misses a step. While many hard-core group exercisers might find this annoying in just about anyone else, for this lone, lost, brave man, it is cute. So cute that typically even the instructor falls prey to it. I know I have. All the women usually end up after class giggling over how adorable the guy is.
Now there's a lesson or two to be learned here. First of all, not all stereotypes are true. As I mentioned earlier some clubs have high male attendance in their classes and have no gender-specific areas. Secondly, many of your female members are probably happy that their aerobics studio is free of men. In fact, more and more clubs are becoming gender-specific to make everyone feel more comfortable.
However, some clubs are breaking down those gender stereotypes instead of supporting them by encouraging their male members to try out the group ex classes — or designing classes that are genderless. Have you ever tried marketing your group ex classes to your men with a tongue-in-cheek message that says how great working out is in a room full of ladies? Sure, you don't want your group ex studio to become a singles mixer on every night of the week, but it sure does add a different dynamic to mix up the regular gender routine. Or try to make the males-only side of the weight room less scary — put up diagrams on how to use the equipment and mix your lighter weights with your heavier weights to encourage females to cross over. Also, try to explain to your members that they can use all parts of the club. You never know what might happen when barriers come down and your facility's space becomes less segregated by gender.

GMHC Statement on the Re-Election of George W. Bush as President of the United States
November 3, 2004
Gay Men's Health Crisis joins with many other organizations and advocates in the HIV/AIDS community in expressing a deep sense of disappointment over the re-election of George Bush as the President of the United States. Over the past four years, the Bush administration's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been notable for ideologically driven attacks on HIV prevention programs and research efforts and a virtual neglect of the funding needed by domestic and global programs of treatment and care.
In this 24th year of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, GMHC stands firm in the belief that our President must make the United States the unquestioned global leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS at home and abroad. Our nation needs to:
Sadly, there is little in Mr. Bush's record for the past four years or in his campaign agenda for "a more hopeful America" that allows for much hope among the Americans living with or affected by AIDS that he or his administration will provide such leadership. We know that the global pandemic of HIV/AIDS transcends religious and political ideologies and partisan approaches. It is critical that President Bush, in his second term, lead our country to a higher ground in the fight against AIDS.

I know we are supposed to be eating "by the seasons" and as much as able, I try to put this into practice. But I don't have four seasons to play with. I have two – summer and rainy. Summer — when everything is sweet and gorgeous, and Rainy (or "wet") — when everything is um, wet and um, not so gorgeous. Right now, I can't even tell…we are supposedly in "rainy" but there have been bouts of mysteriously scorching days. Sigh.
Well, this crazy weather can do what it wants and so will I. For now I'm declaring "autumn" in my flat – a season that I have always wanted. You may remember my jubilant discovery of butternut squash at a neighborhood market – like autumn, not something I bump into everyday, at least not in these parts. You may also remember, much more recently, my last post – where I declared my love for ham stock. This is where the two come together to make one powerful statement of a soup.
So here in my little corner of the Philippines, though all the leaves are not brown, and fall coats can not be worn, this is my autumnal declaration.
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
- 1 small butternut squash (about 850 grams)
- 2 1/2 cups ham stock
- 50 grams bacon (I used Tyrolean bacon), chopped into small strips or cubes
- Olive oil
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme or a small pinch of dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons cream
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
– Cut squash in half, scrape out seeds, and place on a baking tray in a 200C oven. Roast for about 45 minutes or until soft.
– When squash is soft, scrape meat out of its skin into a bowl and add stock. Blitz with an immersion blender, or simply toss squash and stock into a blender or food processor and process. Add only half of the stock at first, and just keep adding until your reach the consistency you like.
– Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pot or sauce pan. Add bacon and sauté until just turning golden around the edges.
– Add squash/stock puree, thyme, and black pepper, and then cook slowly to let the flavors develop. Add salt if needed. Stir in cream towards the end of cooking.
– Serves 3 (serves 2 for dinner with an extra leftover serving for the next day's lunch!). Can also serve 4 as a small first course.
This is inspired (in particular) by my longing for a full-blown, leaves-swirling, theatre-like autumn…and my love for squash soup (in general). The use of ham stock here is inspired by my favorite squash soup in town…which I always thought had the essence of something meaty and smoky in it. In any case this one had a taste all its own – the aromatic ham undertones bolstering the rustic soft-sweetness of the squash, all veiled in a gentle smokiness from the bacon. The thyme was the perfect complement to round everything out. This is my kind of squash soup.
Now if only I could control the weather the same way…I'm submitting this to Tami's Second Annual Super Soup Challenge, an event she created in tribute to her mother. Check out her gorgeous blog Running With Tweezers for delicious recipes and fantastic food styling (she's a 2-time Donna Day winner!)

|chronic fatigue
Nov 13, 2004
Since over a year i take daily KALETRA, EPIVIR AND VIRAMUNE. After about two months, i felt so tired but my blood results are fine, 414 CD4, viral load lower then 50 so my doctor says everyhting is ok but i do NOT feel ok. Now i read an article about vitamines who could help against fatigue at http://integrativehealthconsulting.com. The prices are very high, i could pay them but before i order them, can you tell maybe that it is worth it because i don't have too much money to waste money but i would to do everything to feel better. The price of the vitamines are 129.50U$ for one month. What your opinion about it??? THANK YOU SO MUCH AND BYE FROM BELGIUM. Take care , Patrice (please do not put my email in your list, i like my privacy, thanks!!!!)
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hi Patrice from Belgium,
HIV-related fatigue is incredibly common and often multifactorial in nature, which means there is often more than one thing happening simultaneously contributing to your fatigue. Fatigue is not a disease, but rather a symptom of disease. There are numerous possible causes of HIV-related fatigue, including:
1. inappropriate attention to basic human requirements, such as rest, sleep, diet and exercise
2. psychological causes anxiety, depression and/or stress
3. medication side effects or toxicities
4. unrecognized infection
5. hormonal imbalances hypogonadism, adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism
6. anemia
Should you spend $129.50 for a one-month's supply of vitamins to fight fatigue? No, I would not advise that. Rather, what you need to do is determine the underlying cause or causes of your fatigue. Once that is accomplished, specific treatment can be prescribed to treat the underlying cause or causes of your fatigue. Trying to treat a symptom rather than specifically identifying and treating an underlying cause is the wrong way to approach the problem.
So your next step is to see your HIV specialist to discuss your fatigue and begin an evaluation to determine its cause. It may well take several visits and some collaborative detective work to figure it all out. But it's definitely worth the effort.
To sum up, if your "ass-draggin'" you need to get to the "bottom" of your problem before you can start to kick butt again. OK?
Good luck.

"We're still making edits; we're in the finishing stages," the former Maryland great said. "As we get closer to the final stages, I'll be able to elaborate on it a little bit more. As of now, you can just say we do have something in the works, and we took a different direction than most have. It's not so much the [Bias] story, but the effect of the story."
The project is a collaboration between Williams, fellow Terp Tony Massenburg and a writer. Williams said they hope to have a finished product before the end of 2013, so that it could be released during the Maryland basketball season.
Williams is participating in a charity bike ride, the Catoctin Challenge, next weekend in Frederick County. He hopes to raise $50,000 for two charity foundations he supports. There's more on that in the Sports Bog story linked above too, and I wrote about it last year as well.

Hey all, just made the switch from Ubuntu to Arch. Been wanting to go to something more lightweight for a while, and needing to get a dual boot set up for some older games was the perfect excuse. Wasn't sure which distro to pick, and eventually decided I might as well go for the one that starts you with the minimum and has you configure everything. Here's hoping I don't manage to screw myself over with too much bloat.
Also, I think I've learned more about Linux/bash from a weekend of installing Arch than I did from several years of *buntu use, and I'm not even done configuring everything yet. Looking forward to getting everything the way I like it.

Hi every body! I'm glad to write here. I'm not so new to arch and am here for may be some friends. Arch is good yes. Previously i'm were on opensuse and slax ( yes slax, i was using it like main system and use it from flash drive And again, Hi -)
ps sory for bad english
Hi all,
Decided to take a look under the 'hood of linux with Arch, after 4 years of "user friendly" linux distros.
I got close to a nervous breakdowm before finishing my first installation! But when I realised that I had learned a lot in the process, lI oaded the distro on the laptop as well ; )
If anyone new asks me how it is like, I think I'll tell them "Not for you, not yet anyway!" just to make them prove me wrong!
Anyway, hope I'm able to give back to the community the same way it gave to me, without caring about "who" I was.
Arch (yeah you too), I owe you one.
Hello Everyone,
I am Brian (33) from the Netherlands. I use linux since 1997. I took off with Slackware, but developed a love-hate relationship with it. I hopped through a lot of distro's
and am now finally settled with debian on server and arch on my desktop. If you want to know anything about me, drop me a pm!

Hi everyone! I've been using Linux off/on for about 2 years. The rotation has been, install Linux, get quickly confused, get bored, delete it and move back to Windows. Now I've taken some proper time (a few months) to get used to CrunchBang and I recently moved to Arch because I wanted the full customization experience. It's been great! Install was easy for me and I have most everything shaped and customized to my liking.
So hello! I'm learning C and Bash right now so that I can hopefully get to understand the inner workings of GNU/Linux a little more and eventually contribute to projects that I use, Arch or no. For now I'm contributing on the forums as much as I can!
The rotation has been, install Linux, get quickly confused, get bored, delete it and move back to Windows.
Oh my gosh you just described me perfectly! But with different operating systems. I'm always installing FreeBSD, getting confused, and going back to Arch Linux.
FreeBSD version 10 is the one I will finally be able to understand. I know it. I can feel it this time.
Anyway, there's always something new to learn. Keeps me on my toes.

Hi all! My name is Anthony. I started using Arch about a month ago, after being an Ubuntu/Mint user for several years, because I'd heard some about it and I wanted to try something new. I have to second some of the previous posters about having learned more about Linux in my first weekend using Arch than in years of Ubuntu
I like it so far and I'm looking forward to becoming part of this community.
I'm dan been using linux on and off for a while, still remember instaling red-hat in 91 ish with my dad. I use mostly debian installs but I love the information from this board and the wiki.
I've used Ubuntu for a little bit here and there, most recently toying with Bodhi Linux. I heard of Arch through trying to install some programs that were giving me issue because I was on the older LTS but saw how easy it was with Arch, with all the latest things with pacman. And so in trying to get another thing working, I ended up giving Arch a try in a virtual box and, well, here I am! I took a rather good liking to it.
I have found the path I've traveled so far in figuring things out to be rather fun, but I ended up a little stumped and so I thought I'd seek a little aid. I look forward to what there is to learn and can only get more enthusiastic from here.

Hello All!
Common story here... I've been running various distributions based on Debian (mostly Ubuntu and Mint, though I've tried a few others) for a year or so now, sometimes as a primary OS, other times as a secondary one. Though I've recently found myself more interested in the principles of Archlinux so have decided to take the plunge. My primary reason for using Linux is the performance I get in Blender, I'm a 3D artist and its my preferred software but I've never been happy with how it runs on Windows. Sadly my other main hobby is gaming, so a total migration to Linux won't be possible... yet. (Come on Valve, I know you can do it!)
I'm a quick study and I'm hoping this forum will be the informative, friendly sort of place that I've become accustomed to when asking/looking for help in the linux community I suspect it will be.
Hi everyone!
I'm a challenge-driven gamer and I've always looked for something that engages that feeling when you accomplish something really difficult. Whenever I start a game, it's either set on hard difficulty or nothing (unless you have to beat it first in normal to unlock hard).
I ventured into the computer world when I was 7 years old in 1998 with a Windows 98 Lanix computer with a horizontal motherboard. It was really fun because I ran at all times Encarta Encyclopedia and a Larousse Suite in which I could learn about space, history and the human body. After some years, in 2001 at 11 years old I went on to use a Pavillion ze5400 laptop from Hewlett-Packard (which I currently have but it doesn't work) that came with XP and discovered a whole new world; games (mostly strategy games), tweaks, the internet, MSN, emulation, Linux. This was the first machine in my hands to get Ubuntu. Basically endless possibilities. Then, in 2006, at 15 years old a friend convinced me to get an iMac. I was very lucky because I got a late-2006 iMac with a Core2Duo processor and 1GB of RAM at the time it came out making my friend really jealous of it. I didn't really know to much about Apple but quickly after studying it I became a fanboy. Steve Jobs inspired me and along with my father started forging my own philosophy of life. After a lot of school problems and failing this year, at my 22 years old at getting into the most important Philosophy College in my country (there was no vacancy). I turned my old hobbies into a primary goal: Investigation, games and computers. A friend of mine got for me a really weird computer, and when I say weird I mean it. It's a Blue Light Ivia 2011 with an Intel i3 processor and 1GB of RAM netbook. It has a useless battery, destroyed headphones plug-in, one broken display joint and a missing "O" key. It's a very special machine because the company that produced it disappeared and stopped producing spare parts so I needed to take extremely good care of it. It had pre-installed a Windows 7 Starter Edition but I decided to completely ignore it. I've never been away from the Linux world but I've always kept my distance and never fully tried it. I thought this was the perfect time to do it, but which distro? I was already familiar with Ubuntu because my grandma's computer have it, my 14 years old cousin installed it a year ago and I kept it up to date and served as an IT technician for her but as I said in the beginning, I really love challenge so I searched the web for a good challenging distro with a great reward after installing it. I met Arch. It was perfect. I've been following for the past months the FSF and RMS, and I share their philosophy. Maybe Arch is not 100% free software but it is the challenge I was looking for. So I installed it.
I'll be asking a lot of stuff in this community because I know that most people here know this Linux thing well. I think this is a great opportunity to know the computer better and I hope this will help to my career (Software Design Engineering).
Sincerely, Kolt.

hey everybody!!!!
just installed arch and it is amazing (pacman is really awesome especially when it likes candy )
Now i can stop reinstalling ubuntu every couple of months
but unfortuneately i have to dualboot with windows
arch is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally the distro hopping stops!!
hi guys. arch is the most fulfilling thing i've ever installed. Not new to linux fedora junkie; arch convert!
and yes pacman is uber powerful!
loving it!!
New user but not so new reader says hello, too.
I started to use linux (ubuntu > crunchbang > opensuse > arch linux) almost 2 years ago only to resurrect the only computer I had, not having money to buy a new one. Now I'm using arch from this summer and I think it might be my definitive distro. I'm here only to say "ciao" to all the community!
English is not my first language, so I like if you could be patient with me but also I really appreciate if you correct me whenever I'm wrong. I want to improve!
Hi everyone !
I'm using Arch for audio recording and editing, as I got bored with Windows and developers policy.
So here I am !
I'm using Arch for audio recording and editing
Neat! What software do you use for recording and editing? Do you use any other audio related software?
Do you use a custom Linux kernel, or does the standard Arch Linux kernel work fine?
Do you use the JACK audio connection kit?
I am back! I seem to flip between Arch and Debian derivatives (#! and Mint). Arch has my heart, but breaks it from time to time.:rolleyes:
i'm new to arch but not new to linux. I use linux for more as 5 years on my dell inpiron 1720.
after trying many other distros (suse, debian, fedora, ...) even freebsd. i found an article in my linux magazine article about arch linux.
that made me curious and i read more about it on this site and found out that i wanted to do it the arch way. I use it now for 6 month and it's the best linux distro i ever used. The only things on my laptop are the programs that i installed and no other stuf.
my window manager is Openbox and my desktop : lxde. I love ARCH
ARCH LINUX simply the best

I have been a hack on computers until i got deep into microelectronics along with my musical studies.
i have since left the performance field of music to pursue electronics!
im on my way to a bachelors in engineering! i hope to develop new interactive instruments from opensource micro's like arduino and implement them with Processing and Pd-extended ports of Max/MSP patches.
Im new to linux at the admin level and really enjoyed getting my OpenBox working with a create custome config i like, also looking to use stripped down arch to run on dedicated A/V hardware for interactive music!
i look forward to snooping around and learning all i can!
(sorry im a lazy typerer on forums)

How to Ask Questions the Smart Way
Hi All! My name is charlie. I have been a linux user for 4 - 5 years, and I have been using arch for a few months, but just registered on here! I hope to get to know people and maybe get some help and help others. For work I am required to use a mac (Why many startups require this, I don't know!), but it is merely the host for an arch vm. I have just built up my dev environment (vim plugins, golang toolchain, etc.) on this vm and plan to be doing full time dev on it.
Anyways, I hope to run into some of you on here soon! =]

Hello! I've been using linux for almost 2 years now on ubuntu and mint, for a escape from windows and to build android. Recently I found manjaro, and that it's kinda insecre to arch with how it slowly follows it. So now I want to actually learn how to install real arch, without touching my windows partition.
I came to linux 2 years ago, after trying out all different desktops and distros I got here to Arch linux.
I relay like the simplicity with one can create himself an environment he has chosen and not otherwise.
After many trays finally I found some way to interact with the computer as I like to.
Writing and editing is so much more easier if you know the options and the program you have, and I relay liked to boil it down in only that what I need.
Arch is a great help in this, and I hope it will continue.

BABSON PARK, Mass. - The MIT men's soccer team's season came to an end on Wednesday afternoon, as it was defeated in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) quarterfinal by host Babson, 5-0. The loss means that the Engineers finish their 2006 campaign with an overall record of 6-11-0.
Babson (11-5-3) defeated MIT by the same score line during the regular season.
The hosts came out firing on all cylinders, out-shooting Tech by a margin of 10-3 in the first half. However, MIT's sophomore goalkeeper Tom Caldwell came up with five first half saves to keep the Engineers in the game.
Despite Caldwell's heroics, the Cardinal and Gray's resolve was broken once in the first half, when Tom Kowalski opened the scoring in the 37th minute with his first goal of the year. Bobby Ollari and Mark Dayvie chipped in with the assists.
The second half was remarkable in terms of the statistical discrepancy. Despite being outscored 4-0 in the final stanza, the Engineers actually out-shot their opponents, 11-8, including two shots on net by sophomore Andrew Bishara. However, Beavers' keeper Chris Necklas kept the net empty by making five stops.
Babson put the game away with two quick fire goals just after the restart. Justin Unger, who recorded a hat trick against MIT in the regular season, made it 2-0 in the 47th minute with an assist from Daniel Fogarty. An own goal widened the deficit to three just over a minute later.
Garrett Bates made it 4-0 in the 68th minute, assisted by Tim Winn, and Mark Dayvie rounded out the scoring in the 73rd minute when he was assisted by Juan Rodriguez.
Overall, Caldwell made six stops before being replaced by freshman Javier Duarte, who made two saves of his own, late in the match. Necklas made six stops in earning his eleventh shutout of the season.
No. 2 seeded Babson now moves on to the NEWMAC semifinal which will take place on Saturday, Nov. 4, at 1:30 p.m. at Wheaton. They will match up against the winner of the game between No. 3 seeded Clark and No. 6 seeded Springfield.

Lower down on this page there are lots of links to the most common UK appliance user manual download pages. It might save you some time and trouble though if you read the first few paragraphs first before jumping in.
How do I download a user manual?
To download the right instruction manual you usually need the proper model number. With some brands you need other product or service numbers from the appliance instead. Often, just a model number is no use. To complicate things, many "model numbers" on the front of an appliance are not the proper or full model number.
Where are these numbers?
Most model numbers these days are behind the door of the appliance. Some are are written on the front panel of the appliance but they can't be relied upon to be the full model number. So check behind the door as well. Sometimes the numbers can be behind the front kickplate (especially on built in appliances) or behind a washing machine's pump filter door.

Before you buy a coffee table you should ask some yourself how you want the table to function. While a coffee table often ends up being the focal point in a room, it does have other functions than simply looking good. Also, since there is a great variety in materials, you should pick one that best fits your needs. For instance, you most likely don not want a glass coffee table when you have toddlers. You would not want an easily destructible surface or finish either. Before you buy your coffee table, you also have to pick shape and size.
A sofa is one of the most important furniture purchases for your home, so before you buy a sofa make sure you are getting one that fits your needs. A sofa that is perfect for your living room could be a terrible idea for your family room. First figure out how you want to use your sofa and who will be using it. Determine whether your sofa is a good fit for your space, and since there are sofas to fit any style of room, look for one that satisfies your own personal sense of style.

Shimano XTR goes 10-speed Dyna-Sys for 2011
Top-end mountain bike groupset split into trail and race categories
After launching tweaked 10-speed versions of their Deore XT and SLX groupsets, Shimano have finally responded to the threat posed by SRAM's top-end XX group by unveiling an all-new set of XTR kit for 2011.
While XT and SLX got an extra cog on the cassette, new chainring sizes and a few other refinements, XTR M980 is a totally new groupset, with new aesthetics and plenty of innovative features.
Instead of a single set of transmission kit, XTR now offers what Shimano call Rider Tuned Technology. There's a choice of cranksets, brake levers, pedals and wheels, depending on whether you're a racer seeking light weight above all else (M985) or a more all-round rider who wants high-spec kit without compromising performance (M980).
The new groupset is claimed to be 298g lighter than the current XTR (M970) if you go for the lightweight options. Opt for the more trail-friendly kit and you'll add 158g.
As with XT and SLX, Shimano are pushing the advantages of a 3×10 setup for XTR – they say their new Dyna-Sys system, with a wider gear range at the back and more closely spaced gears at the front, plus improved derailleurs and shifters, is ideal for most riders – but in the case of the top-end group, double as well as triple crankset options will be available.
Read on for the lowdown on the new Rider Tuner Technology options, plus an overview of the changes to the rest of the XTR line. We'll publish full reviews as soon as we get hold of this kit for testing. For now, visit bike.shimano.com for more details.
Brakes (BR-M985 + BL-M985/88)
The new one-piece XTR brake calliper (BR-M985) boasts an oversize ceramic piston that is lighter, stiffer and insulates the system from heat better than its predecessor. Maintenance should be easier and quicker thanks to one-way bleeding and improved oil routing, and there's a more powerful Saint-style brake hose, plus its alloy banjo means it should fit a wide variety of frames.
The big change, however, is that under Shimano's new Rider Tuned Technology system you now have a choice of two swanky looking new levers: a super-lightweight pair designed for cross-country racing (BL-M985) or a more powerful and better modulated set aimed at trail riders (BL-M988).
The cross-country option is said to be 40g lighter than current XTR M975, yet 10 percent more powerful. It comes with a choice of resin pads with alloy back plates, or metal pads with titanium back plates. Claimed weight is 215g front / 229g rear (including calliper).
However, if you prize power over gram saving, you can instead team the new compact calliper up with the more robust lever, which features a new short-stroke version of Shimano's Servo-Wave leverage change cam. This brakeset comes with Shimano's new Ice Technologies brake pads, which use finned extensions to pull heat away from the calliper, fluid and rotor.
The trail brakeset also gets slightly wider levers (14mm, compared to 13mm) with a reach-adjust dial. The result of all this is a claimed 25 percent increase in braking power over M975, with no increase in weight. Claimed weight is 247g front / 261g rear.
Both systems get the new Ice Tech rotor, which sandwiches an aluminium core between stainless steel outer layers for improved heat dissipation. This is said to reduce brake fade on long downhills by 65 percent and double pad life, as well as cutting noise and weight. Four sizes are available – 140, 160, 180 and 203mm – with Center Lock mountings only. Claimed weight is 126g (160mm) thanks to use of an aluminium spider. The new discs can be used with any Shimano brake.
Features of both brakesets include:
- Integrated barrel reservoir lever design
- Split clamp for quick installation and removal
- Two-finger lever with ergo pivot and anti-slip dimples
- Clean bleeding by funnel
- Can be used with I-Spec integrated brake/shifter clamp to save weight and free up handlebar space
Crankset (FC-M980/85)
For 2011, XTR offers a choice of double or triple cranksets. The 3×10 option (FC-M980) is aimed at trail riders, with 42/32/24T rings. The ratio is closer than the current XTR, but Shimano say the 24T inner ring is much more efficient than a 22T, yet still offers a low climbing gear when paired with a 36T rear cog. The middle chainring is carbon, with titanium teeth, which is said to improve shifting and durability.
There is also a double based on the same spider, with 38/24T rings and a compact chain guide. As with the brakes, there is also a lightweight option aimed at cross-country racers. The FC-M985 double has a narrower Q-factor – it's 3mm narrower on each side, which means it may not be compatible with some frames – and a choice of 40/28, 42/30 or 44/30T chainrings.
Features of both cranksets include:
- Hollowtech II crankarm design for maximum stiffness with low weight
- HG-X chainring tooth profile and Dual Spike technology for improved shifting
- Outboard bearings for maximum stability and stiffness
- Polished finish, with hidden chainring bolts
- Choice of arm lengths: 165, 170, 172.5, 175, 180mm
- Weights: Start at 698g (claimed), for the cross-country double with threaded bottom bracket
Pedals (PD-M980/85)
There's a choice of pedals too. Aimed at pro racers, the PD-M980 is an update of the current M970 which sheds 15g while increasing shoe-pedal contact area by a claimed 270 percent for improved power transfer.
Wider bearing placement is said to improve pedalling stability and bearing durability, while an oval axle housing, slimmer axle and offset bindings cut weight and improve mud shedding by a claimed 150 percent. Claimed weight is 310g a pair.
For the trail/all-mountain riders out there – and maybe even weight weenie four-cross and downhill racers – the new PD-M985 takes things a step further by enlarging the shoe-pedal contact area even further and adding an integrated cage. Claimed weight is 398g.
Wheels (WH-M985/88)
New XTR hubs and wheelsets are available, which are once again split between XCR (cross-country race, M985) and Trail (M988) options. All the wheels come with scandium tubeless rims – 19C and 21C respectively – and Center Lock rotor mounts.
The M985 hubs are cup-and-cone units with double contact seals. There's a new freehub body design for quicker engagement. The rear hub is quick-release only, while up front you can choose Shimano's 15mm E-Thru axle if you prefer.
The M988s are again cup-and-cone units with double contact seals, but the rear gets a titanium freehub body. The front wheel is only available with a 15mm E-Thru axle, while at the rear there's a choice of quick-release or 12mm E-Thru. At 312g for the hub and 96g for the axle, this new standard is said to weigh about the same as an XT quick-release hub but offer greater stiffness than Shimano's Saint freeride/downhill hub.
Shifters (SL-M980)
- Advanced Light Action shifting – the idea is that it requires the same amount of force to shift between the two largest cogs as it takes to shift between the two smallest
- VIVID indexing – designed to give a more positive, pronounced click when you shift, but with a light action
- Can be converted from x2 to x3
- Feature Shimano's Instant Release (for quick, accurate shifting), Multi Release (for shifting several gears at a time) and 2-Way Release (thumb or finger actuation) technology
- Anti-slip dimples on lever
- Claimed weight: 207g a pair
- I-Spec clamps (SL-M980-I) let you combine shifters with XTR brake levers to cut weight to 195g a pair
Rear derailleur (RD-M980)
- New low-profile Shadow design
- Carbon fibre outer plate for light weight; aluminium inner for rigidity and durability
- Lighter action than current XTR – optimised for full-suspension bikes with full outer cable runs
- Top Normal spring design for compatibility with RapidFire shifters
- Jockey wheels get sealed bearings to minimise friction
- Two versions: medium cage (GS, up to 35T sprocket), which improves ground clearance and reduces chain bounce, and long cage (SGS, up to 41T)
- Claimed weight: 175g
Front derailleur (FD-M980/81/85/86)
- 10-speed specific
- Nine versions, depending on number of chainrings and mount type (Top Swing, conventional, E-type and Direct Mount)
- Adaptable clamp fits 28.6-34.9mm seat tubes
- Multi-pull design allows top or bottom cable pull
- Improved cage profile for more tyre clearance; double crankset options get specific compact cage
- Angled adjustment screws and clamp bolt make the new front mech more mechanic-friendly
- Hollow link pins to save weight
- Claimed weight: 125g
Chain (CN-M980)
- New HG-X directional (asymmetric) chain. Right side (logo side) is optimised for front shifting, left for rear
- Hollow link pins to save weight
- Zinc-alloy plated for durability
- Special plate chamfers help shed mud
- Uses standard connecting pin

(Voici le texte d'opinion que m'a demandé le quotidien The Guardian, de Londres. En ligne ici.)
Boy, would I have loved to have had the Scottish referendum before the one we had in Quebec in 1995, for which I was strategist for the yes campaign. I am sure those who are for an independent Scotland have lots to say against the tactics and arguments of Better Together, but we in Quebec would have given an arm and a leg for the fair play and adult behaviour displayed so far by the British government. This is why:
1. The UK recognised that it was for the Scottish parliament to decide on the referendum question, but both parties chose an independent, agreed upon third party to pass judgment on its fairness. Not so in Canada, where Ottawa refused the Quebec parliament's legitimacy in the matter.

There were some recent posts around the blogosphere on clutch hitting. As many times before, the discussion was mainly about whether or not it exists. Here are the links:
Overestimating the Fog by JC Bradbury at Sabernomics. This article got discussed at Baseball Think Factory. JC Bradbury also posted two other studies: Does Clutch Pitching Exist? and A Little Clutch Hitting Study. Phil Birnbaum had Doesn't "The Book" study pretty much settle the clutch hitting question?.
Bradbury's "Fog" article refers to an article from a few years ago by Bill James (JC has a link to it). Bill James suggested that our statistical methods might not be able to detect clutch hitting. JC has presents a different view.
Phil makes a refernce to "The Book" by Tom Tango, Mitchel Lichtman and Andrew Dolphin. Their basic finding was that there is clutch ability but it is very slight.
Now getting back to Bill James. He wrote an article a couple of years ago called Mr. Clutch: Big Papi, Chipper, Pujols come through when it counts. James said:
""Clutch" is a complicated concept, containing at least seven elements:
1. The score,
2. The runners on base,
3. The outs,
4. The inning,
5. The opposition,
6. The standings,
7. The calendar."
Then he showed how certain players did alot better in these cases than they normally do. But what he does not say in this article (it may be elsewhere), is how much differently all players hit in these situations than they normally do (that is, the league average differential). This information is necessary to see which players' clutch performance is statistically significant. I made a crude attempt at analyzing James' new measure of clutch in this post: Is David Ortiz A Clutch Hitter?. For differences from normal performance, I used those in close and late situations. It looked like his clutch performance was not significant. But I have not seen James post the clutch data for all players, so a complete analysis has not been done (maybe he has posted this on his site but I have not signed up to pay for it).
I did a study a few years ago called How Many Games Do Clutch Hitters Really Win?. I had two methods of seeing how many wins clutch hitters added above their normal hitting. In one method, only about 10% of the hitters I looked at were able generate as many .5 more wins a season than expected by hitting better in the clutch than they normally do. That assumes that this was thier true clutch ability. In the other method, only 3 out of 71 players added as many .5 wins (that table is partly cutoff now at the link).
Getting back to what "The Book" says, they show that the biggest clutch hitting skill of any player over the 2000-2004 period was .0018 on their wOBA stat (based on another formula they mention, I estimate that is about .004 in OPS). Their clutch situation was the 8th inning or later and the batting team is down 1-3 runs. I don't know what percentage of all plate appearances are made up by these situations, but for close and late situations (CL) it is 15%. My study, mentioned in the previous paragraph, found only a small number of hitters making much difference by their clutch performance and I made no "regression to the mean" adjustment to their clutch stats like "The Book" people did.
I assumed that if a guy's OPS was .050 higher in the clutch than otherwise, that was his true clutch ability. If "The Book's" clutch situation is also about 15% of the PAs (like CL), then I have to assume that their methods say that players add many fewer wins from their clutch performance than my method since my method has a top differential of .117 for Tino Martinez. That is, his OPS was that much higher in the clutch than otherwise. They have a biggest difference of about .004 in OPS, which probably creates very few extra wins. And that is the best they found.
Phil Birnbaum's post also mentioned how different kinds of hitters, like power hitters vs. singles hitters, hit differently in the clutch and whether or not it was due to a change in their approach with the game on the line. I did a study once called Do Power Hitters Choke in the Clutch?. It was inspired by a study by Andrew Dolphin (one of "The Book" people-I have a link to it at this study). I found mixed results, but maybe powers did do a little worse in the clutch than other hitters.
Finally, if clutch hitters are real, do teams make trades to get them? Do they offer those free agents more money? I would love to know if teams have ever done this. There is a study on this called Are Players Paid for "Clutch" Performance? by Jahn K. Hakes and Raymond D. Sauer. My guess is that teams never consider any clutch data when making personnel decisons. If that is the case, then effectively clutch is a non-issue.

[Illinois] GEM4 2012: Mechanobiology in Development
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Cellular and Molecular Mechanics with a focus on Developmental Biology
The 2012 GEM4 Summer School program consists of lectures in the mornings by experts in cellular and molecular mechanics and developmental biology, and hands-on labs in the afternoons on various experimental techniques in biology and engineering.
The objectives of the GEM4 Summer School are to educate researchers and graduate students about the fundamentals of cell and molecular biomechanics, and to provide an intense learning experience, and to facilitate interactions among engineers, biologists and clinicians. The goals are to help train a new generation of researchers with in-depth knowledge of mechanics and biology and to help engineers and biologists apply biomechanical approaches in biomolecular, cellular, tissue-level, animal model studies.
Taher Saif, UIUC
Professor Saif's research focuses on the mechanics of nanoscale materials and living cells. He uses both theory and experiment to explore (1) the effect of size on the mechanics of materials, and (2) the role of mechanical force in determining the functionality of cells and cell clusters.
Professor Saif demonstrated experimentally, for the first time, that plastic deformation in nanocrystalline metal films can be reversible. After plastic deformation, metals with grain sizes between 50 and 100 nanometers recover most of their plastic strain under macroscopically stress-free condition. This recovery is time dependent and thermally activated. Saif showed that the recovery originates from the small size and heterogeniety of microstructure of the metal specimens. The research, which was reported in Science, raises the possibility of manufacturing metal components that can heal themselves after being deformed or dented.
In the area of cellular mechanics, Professor Saif's projects involve neurons, cancer and cardiac cells, and interactions between cells in clusters. He seeks to address questions such as: What is the role of tension in neurons on memory and learning? Does mechanical microenvironment influence the onset of metastasis during cancer development? Can clusters of cells be guided so that they evolve into biological machines? He, together with Professor Akira Chiba of the the University of Maimi, showed that neurons are under mechanical tension, and that such tension might be essential for memory and learning.

Rep. Jose Serrano reintroduces bill to repeal presidential term limit
So, congressman Jose Serrano from Dist 15 in New York introduces resolution 15 to repeal 22nd amendment to constitution. What insanity!
— Chad Brand (@ChadOwenBrand) January 6, 2013
We're still a couple of weeks from the inauguration, but Rep. Jose Serrano (D-N.Y.) is already looking forward to 2016 and beyond. The congressman yesterday reintroduced a bill to repeal the 22nd amendment establishing term limits for the president.
Govt Track proposing an amendment to abolish prez term limits? HELL NO. America can't afford to have a dictator. govtrack.us/congress/bills…
— Gabriella Hoffman (@Gabby_Hoffman) January 6, 2013
@gabby_hoffman Good luck getting that ratified.
— Nicholas Marsala (@NMarsala) January 6, 2013
@gabby_hoffman Since it has to pass both house of Congress AND get approval by 2/3 of the states…not likely to happen.
— SOD (@stilloldduck) January 6, 2013
Even before that, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee would have to bring the bill to the floor for a vote. That's not likely, seeing as Serrano introduced the same bill last January, and it died in committee.
@chadowenbrand Didn't it come up under Clinton too?
— Joe Taylor (@oneJoeTaylor) January 6, 2013
It does come up quite a bit. It's interesting that so many who consider the First Amendment inviolable believe the Second Amendment is outdated, and the usefulness of the 22nd Amendment changes every few years.

David Blankenhorn fantasizes about slot machines. Not about playing them. He wants to smash them with sledgehammers.
"I have this notion," he said over lunch near his Manhattan office recently, "of walking to Albany (New York's capital) smashing slot machines along the way."
In the end, he settled for a single smashing event in front of the state capitol. Blankenhorn is campaigning to stop a Nov. 5 referendum in which voters will decide whether to open seven new state-sponsored casinos, or what Blankenhorn, president of the Manhattan-based Institute for American Values and an outspoken gambling critic, calls "slotinos," since the bulk of the floor space and revenue now center on the flashy one-armed bandits.
One of Blankenhorn's core arguments is that casinos draw most of their income from problem gamblers, resulting in a regressive tax that falls heavily on lower-class and elderly patrons.
Industry representatives insist that only 1 percent of adults tend to be problem gamblers.
"Gambling opponents have tried for years to put a number on what that percentage is," said Judy Patterson, executive director of the American Gaming Association, "but there is no credible study that can identify that percentage."
A recent New York Times poll found that 60 percent of New York City residents support casino expansion, but they are far less supportive of bringing casinos to their own city, with 42 percent favoring and 50 opposed. Residents of the city comprise 40 percent of eligible voters statewide.
Blankenhorn knows he will likely lose this fight in his own backyard, but he has his eye on the bigger picture. Nationwide, state-sponsored gambling has exploded since the 1980s, as voters and politicians embrace its promise of revenue without taxes. Today, only two states, Hawaii and Utah, have no form of legalized gambling, and the pressure for expansion grows each year.
A long legacy
Slot machine smashing has a long history, amply demonstrated in Blankenhorn's recently released 125-page report, "New York's Promise: Why Sponsoring Casinos Is a Regressive Policy Unworthy of a Great State." The report is a jeremiad against state-sponsored slot machines in his home state, punctuated with pictures of politicians from a bygone era destroying them.
One shows a fierce and sweaty Mayor Fiorello La Guardia in 1934, swinging a sledgehammer at a pile of machinery. In another picture, an entire barge bursting with slot machines leaves for the harbor dumping ground.
La Guardia wasn't alone. In another picture taken out West in 1939, off a fishing boat in California's Santa Monica Bay, four machines are captured in midair, one already splashing. The California dumping was spurred by then-Governor Earl Warren, another fierce gambling opponent on his way to the Supreme Court.
"Gambling is socially undesirable and it is also bad economics," Blankenhorn quoted La Guardia as saying. "A large part of this betting would have to come from people who cannot afford to lose."
"Because its goal is profit," Blankenhorn wrote in "New York's Promise," "not disinterested sponsorship of recreation, the house's only interest in the matter is getting me to place as many bets as possible and lose as much money as I can."
But in this case, the house is the state government. In Blankenhorn's mind, the state gambling institutions of today are little different from and little better than the mob bosses of yesteryear.
"The mobsters would go into the back room of the casino where the money was kept and stuff a lot of the money in suitcases. It was called 'the take,' and it was a hefty amount." The take was in return for providing financing as well as for protection and establishing territories.
Nothing has really changed, Blankenhorn argues, except today the take goes to government for providing the same services. In most states, the state take is substantial, on par with the mob bosses: between 27 and 50 percent.
It's naïve to think of the state as simply taxing the casinos, as it would a car wash or a deli, Blankenhorn said. The state is actually a full partner in the project and simply hires out the logistics of its share of the gambling revenue.
All of this points to a conflict of interest, as Blankenhorn sees it, when a state that is supposed to be protecting the vulnerable and even redistributing income downward instead sees its self-interest in exploiting the vulnerable and redistributing upward.
Responsible gambling
The gambling industry sees itself as a responsible entertainment provider, offering good clean fun for most patrons and taking pains to help the few who cannot control their behavior.
The industry has spent millions funding the National Center for Responsible Gaming, which funds peer-reviewed studies on problem gambling.
However, as the gaming association's Patterson said, "It is very difficult to know what somebody's income is, how much they are gambling in one facility or another facility, whether they are using a players club card or not. It's purely someone's imagination what theory they want to use to come up with a number."
With all the millions of dollars invested in research, why are the demographics of casino revenue so opaque?
Patterson said survey research cannot get to the issue, because asking patrons detailed questions would be off-putting. The National Center for Responsible Gaming funds all kinds of research, she noted, but "has never received a proposal that has been able to pass peer review because there is no scientifically justifiable way to go about it."
"Hello, David!"
The gambling industry knows its customers like no other, Blankenhorn said.
"They are anything but indifferent. The first thing you do is go to the welcome desk, and they will give you a card with your name on it, and every time you stick the card in the slot machine, it says, 'Hello, David!'"
On that loyalty card, the casino "tracks with great sophistication every interaction you have with the casino." The card tracks the machines you play, the times you come, how long you stay on a machine. The casino offers perks through the card, and while it is theoretically possible to use cash on the machines, Blankenhorn said he never has seen anyone doing so.
In short, he argues, the notion that the casino does not know the ages and ZIP codes of their heaviest users is ludicrous. "And if they know the ZIP code then they know the socioeconomic status. And if they pretend they don't know ... what does that tell you?
"You can ignore these things, but it is not a matter of dispute among scholars that between 35 and 55 percent of the casino revenue in America comes from problem gamblers," Blankenhorn said.
Twice a week
In his Dantean tour of gambling hell, Blankenhorn spent a lot of time in Mississippi, his native state and the queen of state-sponsored casinos. Once he was standing in line at a Mississippi casino and chatted up an older woman next to him. "Do you come here often?"
"I usually come here twice a week," she said.
"Why is that?"
"Because on Tuesday nights and Thursday nights I get emails from the casino telling me that if I come in during certain hours I'll get $10 of free slot play. So that's when I come in."
The woman in line also represents another beef Blankenhorn has with the industry. A frequent claim in siting casinos is that they will be "destination resorts," he said, evoking the casinos of yore in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, where tourists would travel great distances once a year to play and then go home.
Today's casinos are sited and marketed to regular, local users, Blankenhorn said. This proximity dramatically changes the risk of problem gambling and makes it all the more urgent that state governments collect data on who is driving revenue.
Father vs. son
Blankenhorn has set himself up as a gadfly, a lonely voice in a world where elected officials on both sides fall over themselves for free money from state-sponsored gambling. It's a different world from a generation ago, when elected officials on all sides shunned gambling.
Besides La Guardia, another star witness for Blankenhorn's indictment is Mario Cuomo, also a legendary former New York governor and also a fierce opponent of state-sponsored gambling.
Bringing casinos to New York, Cuomo told the New York Times, "doesn't generate wealth; it just redistributes it."
Not coincidentally, Mario Cuomo is the father of Andrew Cuomo, the current governor and an avid chief backer of casino gambling. Blankenhorn is playing off the father against the son.
And in drawing that contrast, he is quick to note that the pro-gambling politicians of today never have their pictures taken with slot machines.
"Show me a politician who has ever gone to have their photo taken in one, who has ever had a ribbon-cutting ceremony, who has ever posed putting money in a slot machine, (saying) 'I think this is a wonderful thing for my community, and I want my picture in the paper standing next to these shiny new slot machines that I brought to my state to make us all happier and healthier.'
"You never, ever see that," Blankenhorn said, daring Gov. Andrew Cuomo to be the first.

I know I haven't blogged in AGES but really I have been uber busy. That is no excuse though. So I thought I'd pop in and share a big about what I am doing. My days pretty much go like this…
Then hit repeat the very next day. Between spending time with my kiddos and doing our homeschooling thing and spending time on my home based business I have been a busy beaver (beaver because I'm Canadian yo).
But you know what? I couldn't be happier. Notice something in there? I'm not working. But I do run a home based business. And I get to spend TONS of time with my kids. That is one of the beauties of being a work at home homeschooling mama.
So maybe you're asking yourself what is that Beachbody thing? Well, that my friends IS my home based business. After losing an epic 101 lbs I joined a fabulous organization which connects people trying to get fit and healthy with amazing products like at home workout programs and Shakeology. Not only do you get the products but you also get FREE COACHING!! That is my job pretty much in a nutshell. I help people get healthy. And I'm good at it.
Of course with any business like this there is also the team building aspect. Now I've done some of this home based network business stuff before but I never did very well. I never believed in the business. But oh baby do I believe in Beachbody. I already am building a team. There is amazing training. I love the team calls. I am learning SO MUCH!
So yeah, that is kind of it. Homeschool continues to go well and challenges us in just the right ways. My husband has been off work the last few months due to our ridonkulous weather (Polar Vortex anyone??).
Just one more added note: I think you should join my team :) Seriously. I'm not joking. This is the real deal. My team is called the Rock Your Life Movement and I am on a mission with all the other coaches to End the Trend of obesity. And not only that but I want to give you the amazing opportunity that I have. The opportunity to be home with your kids and build a business. Who wants to miss out on their kids' lives? Certainly not me. Who would love to fire their boss? Who wants a "job" that is fulfilling and fun? Beachbody coaching is all that and more. Join on the journey to health and wealth with me.

I was like.. WHAaattt??! And he fell to the ground after several tricks..

Spice Racks
Experienced and creative cooks know that spices are the key to a delicious and satisfying meal. There are so many things to love about a good spice collection. Adding spice to food is a good way to add flavor without adding calories, and, because they are used in such small quantities, spices are long-lasting. With a pinch here and a dash there, you can transform the flavor of your entire meal. Take your guests to exotic lands with Williams-Sonoma spices such as turmeric and cardamom, or keep it simple with parsley and mustard. Whatever spices you use can be stored in a convenient and attractive way when you aren't using them. There is a variety of spice racks and salt keepers, for when you only need a pinch.
If you are building a new spice collection for the first time, or starting from scratch, a full spice rack is a good place to start. It also makes a perfect wedding or housewarming gift. A stylish, upright brushed stainless-steel rack holds 24 small spice jars and comes with labels for the most commonly used spices. Additional matching bottles are sold in a set of 12 to supplement your collection. This is a one-stop shop for your seasoning needs. For a spice rack with a shorter profile, try a revolving two-tier chrome spice rack that has a knob at the top to turn it easily. It holds 12 jars from our spice collection. Choose the ones you use most often and you're ready to season your food with ease as you cook.
Another storage container to expedite cooking is a salt container. Many recipes (or ingenious creations of your own!) include just a pinch of salt. A salt keeper is a convenient and attractive container for storing salt right on the countertop so you can grab a quick pinch anytime. Because salt keepers, or salt cellars, are meant to contain salt on the countertop, it is important that they look great. There are several looks to choose from to complement your kitchen decor. Think about several choices in marble – neutral colors to match any decor – and wood, which goes with anything. Some are equipped with spoons so your pinch of salt is not so literal and your fingers stay out of the salt keeper. Some of the salt keepers are separated into multiple compartments for storing salt and pepper together, or with other spices you use frequently. Earthenware salt keepers are part of an age-old tradition. Look for a design that is richly hand-painted with a centuries-old design, or grab one that is part of a full set of Le Creuset bakeware for a kitchen full of matching stoneware. If storing spices out on the countertops is not for you, use a handy bamboo in-drawer spice rack to organize and conceal them. Our bamboo racks are designed to hold up to 12 spices inside a drawer, keeping them easily accessible but out of sight and freeing up space on crowded counters.
Aside from spices, there is another very important item in your kitchen that is typically powdered: coffee. For single-service coffee makers like the Nespresso Vertuoline models, you need an attractive place to store the coffee and espresso capsules near the machine. A stainless-steel rack serves purpose. It holds up to 20 coffee capsules, or 30 espresso capsules, and there is a space in the center to hold an extra box of capsules. There is a second rack strictly for espresso capsules that holds 30 and an extra box. Both are constructed of chrome stainless-steel that matches any kitchen decor, and they are designed to spin easily so that your morning goes smoothly. Whether you are preparing a gourmet meal or your morning cup of + More

Solution: The three Rs: Reformat the card (FAT16, under Linux, mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/CARDDEVICE), redownload the uBoot files, and retry the process.
Issue: pdaXrom won't find the install files when trying to install the ROM.
Solution: Boot into the emergency system and check to see that the card is mounted (type 'df' to see. If /dev/hdx1 or /dev/mmcblk0p1 is listed, it's mounted). Then, cd to the directory with the install files, for CF installs:
cd /mnt/cf
For SD:
cd /mnt/card
Then execute this:
sh autoboot.sh ./
The install should run fine.
Issue: My Z won't boot after trying to install pdaXrom. I want to go back to ROM xyz.
Solution: Do a NAND restore. Download the correct file from here (select your Z model on the right):
and put the SYSTCXXX.DBK file on an SD/CF card (FAT16 formatted). remove all power from the Z (battery and AC), then hold Fn+D+M and insert the adapter. YOu should get a diagnostics menu. Go to the third page and select NAND restore. Note that you should only have one card (either SD or CF in the Z at this point).
If it doesn't see the file, 1, make sure the name is in all caps, and 2, see below.
You can then install ROM xyz normally.
Issue: After formatting a card, I can't get a NAND restore/other FAT16-sensitive action to work.
Solution: Make sure the system ID is set correctly. fdisk your card:
for SD:
fdisk /dev/SDDEVICE
for CF:
fdisk /dev/CFDEVICE
Then set the partition's ID to 6 by typing 't' for type, then the patition's number (1), then '6' for FAT16. Reformat your card:
mkfs.vfat -F 16 /dev/CARDDEVICE
then put the necessary files on the card and retry the action.
Issue: My card isn't found when trying to do a NAND restore or I get the "SYSxxx.DBK: file not exist" error when I try to restore my Z.
Solution: Make sure you have the DBK file on the root of the card, and that the card is FAT16-formatted and the System ID is set correctly (see above). For SD, make sure there isn't a CF card in the CF slot as well.
I feel like I'm missing other common issues, if so, please post them.
If this thread could be stickied, that would be great.
