The Accidental Remodel Part 28 - Microwave Stand Re-make
Welcome back to Part 28 of The Accidental Remodel!
So what's next? I wanted an island, but knew there probably wasn't room in our tiny kitchen. Also, since the floor is so slanted, I knew that an island/cart would look horrid, totally showing the unevenness. I liked the idea of being able to move it to where I needed it whether crafting or cooking. I longed for something heat resistant and a durable work surface. I looked at a lot of islands on line. Dreamed. Fell in love. Sighed. Then shopped my house.
Seventeen years ago we built our microwave cart from a kit. You know, the white MDF build-it-yourself kind. It has held up just as perfectly as the cabinet (same kind) that we built and used as a pantry. Actually, I wish the cabinets and pantry we paid the cabinet man to build us were a fraction as good and worked as well. The effortless use of my old MDF friends is gone and I've taken a huge step backward, thanks to the bad cabinet guy who ripped us off. :( But I digress. The cart was against the "empty" wall before the remodel. I had used things under the low side to level it, but it also couldn't move that way.
I really do love my old microwave cart and pantry. I decided to make the old cart into our "island". It can be moved as desired and then "parked" back against the side of the fridge where the floor isn't an issue.
I removed the upper parts of the cart which left a flat work surface. I plugged the assembly holes it left exposed. It shrank each time, so I just kept refilling and letting it cure. In the end, I sanded them and the entire top and you can't even see where they were!
It was white, but not the creamy Mascarpone white that the kitchen now is, so I painted it. I gave it the updated hardware that I had spray painted black seven months ago to match the rest of the room.
I've got to tell you that that spray paint is amazing! It goes on like a dream and has held up to seven months of use without any sign of wear at all! Check that post here for directions and the products I used.
I wanted to paint the top of the cart/island glossy black to co-ordinate with my Verde Butterfly granite countertops which look black. It was a no-brainer that I would use the same amazing paint on this surface that I know will see a lot of use. I put two coats on just to be sure and it's GORGEOUS! It's like a black mirror! Since I'll probably have to put my printer and VHS to DVD transfer machine up there, I was concerned they might hurt the lovely new surface. My daughter came up with the fantastic idea of getting a piece of glass cut to fit the top and so make it truly a carefree work surface. I plan to do just that!
I also plan to put a dish towel rack on the side of the cart, but I haven't found one yet. All I have found so far is bath towel racks and they are far too large and bulky for dish towels.
I forgot to take a before picture starting it's make-over, but you can see it in the bottom right corner of this collage.
Now it looks like this!
I may add the fancy handle to the drawer to match my other drawers in the future, but I've been at this for seven months now and this is fine for now!
Be sure to come by for the last installment of the Accidental Remodel with the big reveal! Yeah!

Real Madrid star wants MLS move
Kaka could become the latest Real Madrid player to swap La Liga for the MLS, after visiting the stateside outfit Orlando City this week.
The former Brazil international "would play" for the Florida-based club once they secure promotion to the USA's top division, according to Orlando manager Adrian Heath, who met with the player during his trip to the franchise on Friday.
The Lions coach told WFTV 9: "If we reach the MLS by 2015, Kaka would play for us. Most likely.
"You do not have to be Einstein to know that his contract ends the same year that we intend to make the jump," he told local reporters.
Officials at the American club, which currently plays in the USL Pro developmental league, are hoping to secure a place in the MLS during its upcoming expansion - either by taking up a new position or by replacing one of the existing teams.
Kaka, who was left out of Luis Felipe Scolari's Selecao side for the ongoing Confederations Cup tournament, is thought to have been persuaded to move by his close friend Flavio Augusto da Silva, a major shareholder in Orlando City.
Whilst the renowned attacker has two years remaining on his contract with Real Madrid, he could be tempted to leave the Bernabeu sooner depending on who is appointed to succeed Jose Mourinho as manager of the Spanish giants - with Carlo Ancelotti hotly tipped to take the to the helm.
Kaka is the third most expensive signing in Real's history, behind Zinedine Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, although he was more expensive than David Beckham, who famously transferred to LA Galaxy from Madrid in 2007.

South Park Mexican
All this time, you've been mine, heaven-sent Valentine
And just like that, my life stopped on the dime
I can't stop cryin', inside I'm dyin'
I caught you red-handed, that's what I get for spyin'
But I've been suspicious, 'cause you done caught me with some bitches
But you promised not to shoot me with the same triggers
You didn't know the new Benz I just bought you
Could be tracked by satellite, and that's how I caught you
Oh Baby why? In the past I've been unfaithful
I can't believe it, I feel like, this nigga raped you
But you allowed it, you gave yourself to a coward
I'ma bury both of you, and still buy you flowers
[Chorus: x2]
Remember when
Our love would never end?
But now I am
Tastin' my own medicine
It's disturbin', it's sick, I keep thinkin' bout this shit
I want to spit on your face, while you lie in a ditch
You forgave me, but I just can't forgive you
'cause it ain't the same, I can't explain it, but it's true
It's way worse, I never felt pain like this
I can't take you back, you fuckin' nasty ass bitch
You destroyed me, you ruined, everything I worked for
A house with an elevator, a spa on the third floor
I still love you, but never in my life will I touch you
You disgust me, your beautiful face became ugly
I just wish you was a dream, and that I could wake up
But it's real, so I keep, gettin' drunk, as fuck
I'm home waitin' for you, you don't know that I know yet
You're probably gettin' fucked right now, sippin' some moet
I checked the address, it's some dude named Paul
Thirty-three years old, oh yeah, I checked it all
Probably met him at the mall, spendin' up my cash
G-string up your ass, wearin' tight ass pants
Oh my, look who just pulled up in her Benz?
Where you been at girl, oh, doin' some errands?
Take your shit off, let me smell you, what you thinkin' bout?
I know where you've been, shut your muthafuckin' mouth
Whose house is this and who the Hell is Paul?
What you mean this ain't a house, this where you took the dog?
You mean this the veterinarian's office?
You got the Parvo shots, for the puppy I just bought us?
It's some old man named Dr. Paul Seigel?
Here's the business card, in case I don't believe you?
Call him up right now, nah baby that's okay
You know I trust you, I love you, that's all day
Why is my face red, it looks like I've been cryin'?
Gangsta's don't cry baby, don't even try it
This song is dedicated for all you niggas
Fuckin' over the women you love
If she don't get you back, your conscience will
And if she's not happy, you won't be happy
That's just the way it goes
Yeah, this the SPM, it don't never quit

Congressman Chris Collins: House Passes the Responsible, Balanced Budget the American People Deserve
Congressman Chris Collins (NY-27) issued the following statement following the House Budget vote.
"Today, the House of Representatives passed the responsible, balanced budget the American people deserve. This budget balances in ten-years while protecting Medicare. Working directly with Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, I was able to insert a specific protection for Medicare Advantage, a program many local seniors rely on.
A balanced budget is critical to helping spur economic growth, create the right environment for businesses to expand and add jobs, and secure a stronger financial future for hardworking taxpayers.
The budget being advanced in the Senate raises a trillion dollars in new taxes and never balances. Western New York and Finger Lakes families and seniors know that is not the answer. They are owed a responsible, balanced budget focused on getting our spending and debt under control so we can regain control of our future. The budget passed by the House today does just that."

With their G, GF, and GH series of cameras, Panasonic aims their three-pronged attack at three different types of users, a tactic that no other mirrorless cameras manufacturers have attempted so far. Leading their stable is the GH2 -- a world-class video camera capable of challenging the mighty Canon 5D Mark II that also happens to capture great stills.
At the bottom of the rung is the new GF3, which could fool plenty of buyers into thinking that it's a point-and-shoot, if it weren't for the interchangeable lenses, great image quality, and the huge price tag. It competes directly with the popular Olympus PEN and Sony NEX lines.
And then in the middle, aimed at the amateur enthusiast crowd, there's the G3. It packs on some added bulk in exchange for added features. Its electronic viewfinder and tilt-swivel screen bring it closer to the GH2's physical profile, while its touchscreen interface places it on the user-friendly level of the GF3.
The G series has some substantial history behind it. The G1 ushered in a new era in digital photography as the first Micro-4/3 camera ever released. The G2 improved on the original by slimming down its physical dimensions, improving its high-ISO capability, and adding video recording. Now, the G3 arrives as an incremental update, bumping up the resolution to 16 megapixels, taking video recording to 1080p, and cutting a few more millimeters and grams from the G2's already svelte profile. Let's see if it takes the line to anywhere new.
Body & Design
The G3 is a very slim, lightweight, yet still substantial camera. It's not pocketable by any means (except maybe in a cartoonishly large parka), but it won't leave you with arm cramps after a long day of shooting, either. Since the G1 days, the line has lost its dSLR-style grip, and now has just a vestigial protrusion where the grip once was. Still, it's more substantial than what the GF3 and other truly compact system cameras offer, and just enough to give you a sturdy hold. Aside from the grip and the built-in flash/hotshoe area, the camera is essentially a rectangular box, just like its smaller sibling.
On the front, the G3 is devoid of any button other than the lens release. The built-in flash is set directly above the lens mount and pops up quite high to clear the bundled 14-42mm kit lens. The flash release lever has a nice tension to it and the flash itself swings up with a reassuringly solid thwack. Between the flash and the hotshoe you'll find the stereo microphone (another new addition).
Generally speaking, the build quality of the G3 is okay; weighed against other cameras in its class and at its price point, it's really quite good. No one would confuse it with a pro camera, but then again it's not going for anywhere near pro price. The exterior is high-quality plastic over a lightweight aluminum alloy frame. There's a tiny bit of flex in the body and compartment doors, and the rear buttons have a typical amount of play, but this is definitely a well-made machine.
As a result of the G3's aggressive weight-loss plan, several vital controls have been moved around or removed entirely (usually to reappear on the new touchscreen interface). Notably, on the top plate the AF Mode, AF Point Selection, and Drive Mode dials have all disappeared. The dedicated video recording button has been shifted to the rear, which we found to be an ergonomic improvement, and the Shooting Mode selection dial has lost a number of its dedicated scene settings, all of which are now accessed via the touchscreen GUI.
On the rear, the AF/AE Lock button has also gone missing and the four-way control pad has shrunken. Finally, the G2's eye sensor -- which automatically switched the display from the LCD to the EVF when it detected an eye (or anything, really) against the viewfinder -- has been excised, probably as a cost-cutting measure. Users now have to manually press the EVF/LCD toggle button, which is a moderately annoying extra step.
Speaking of that LCD, its resolution (460,000 pixels), size (3 inches), and tilt-and-swivel design remain unchanged from the G2 -- but like many other parts of the camera, the bezel is smaller, which has the effect of making the screen look bigger in comparison. Though it's only a resistive panel—you have to physically press it, rather than just touching -- the touchscreen is pretty responsive. Occasionally it took a few jabs at the on-screen play button to get a video to start playback, but we couldn't tell whether this was down to the screen or the software behind it.
The battery is another casualty of the new design -- the G2's 1250mAh / 360-shot Lithium Ion cell has been replaced with the same 1010mAh / 270-shot unit used in the GF2. Under the side flap, eagle-eyed consumers will notice that the G3 has foregone its predecessor's external microphone jack (though of course it's added on-board stereo recording).
Cumulatively, these changes signify a shift in Panasonic's target market away from the enthusiast demographic and toward entry-level buyers. (This same shift can be noted in the progression from the GF1 to the new GF3, which makes the G3's shift toward the mass market seem unnecessary.) The loss of dedicated physical dials, buttons, and input jacks -- along with the move to a touchscreen interface -- allows for a smaller chassis, but also makes the camera less usable on the fly. The G3 is much more of a point-and-shoot than its predecessors.
Performance & User Experience
Like most modern interchangeable lens cameras, the G3 is up and ready to go less than a second after tripping the power switch. Response times for both button presses and touchscreen user interface elements are negligible (assuming your touch on the screen is registered). Activating sub-menus on the touchscreen within the Quick Menu takes maybe a full second, and most of that lag is due to the animation effect used by the GUI. That's as slow as the interface gets.
In good light, autofocus speed is superb and the focus accuracy could scarcely be better. The LCD refresh rates are fast and fluid, giving you a very good idea of what kind of shot you're going to get. In bad light, the refresh rates plummet and the AF will search a bit, but it remains as accurate as ever and rarely fails to lock onto a subject.
The tilting/swiveling screen is a plus in many situations, allowing you to take photos at odd angles (self-portraits, shots around corners, etc) with relative ease. However, the screen is highly reflective, which negates a lot of its utility outdoors in bright light. In those circumstances you'll probably find yourself reaching for the EVF/LCD toggle to get a clearer view.
The G3 offers five AF Modes, including Face Recognition, AF Tracking, 23-Area, 1-Area, and Pinpoint. Face Recognition detects human faces and tries to guess which one you want to focus on. AF Tracking lets you tap-to-select a subject, and then does its best to track it as it moves in the frame. 23-Area is your average camera-knows-best mode, but with a twist: you can set it to choose from a specific 4- to 6-Area zone by tapping that area of the screen. 1-Area has the user designate a specific focal zone anywhere in the frame, and even set its size/accuracy. Finally, Pinpoint takes AF accuracy to a whole new neurotic level, inviting you to tap any point on the screen, which it then magnifies by 8x where a tiny crosshair indicates the exact focus point. This last mode is fantastic for macro and eBay-style product shooting in particular.
Shooting modes are your standard fare, from full manual to full auto -- or as Panasonic likes to call it, Intelligent Auto (iA). The dedicated iA button sits adjacent to the shutter release, always on standby to whisk you away into a land of computer-controlled, point-and-shoot shoot bliss. It's actually a handy feature even for experienced photographers, because in those split-second moments when you can't afford to think about your aperture and shutter speed settings, you can simply jab the iA button and shoot away. It doesn't matter if you're in full manual mode; the camera simply sets your settings aside for later use. The results you get with iA might not be your finest work, but they're pretty much guaranteed to be ideally exposed. The iA button glows bright blue when activated, so you can't forget that you've turned it on.
A variety of grid lines can be chosen to help with shot composition. These lines show up in both the LCD display and the EVF, and are really quite helpful for framing your shots on the fly. The viewfinder information display can also be configured to suit the photographer's taste, shifting the shutter speed, aperture setting, ISO value, and so on above or below the recorded image. Images can also be recorded in a variety of aspect ratios, including 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, and even the square 1:1 format.
As with all electronic viewfinders, the EVF on the G3 displays 100% of the recorded image, guaranteeing that you'll get what you want in the frame. The EVF itself is par for the course among recent mirrorless compact system cameras, offering 1,440,000-pixel equivalent resolution and 1.4x magnification (roughly equivalent to 0.7x magnification on a 35mm film camera or full-frame dSLR). The EVF's refresh rates typically mirror those of the LCD; in good light they're very good, and in bad light they get pretty bad. We still haven't come across an EVF we like as much as a good optical viewfinder, but as such things go, the one used in the G3 is pretty decent.
The camera's menu system is neatly divided into five categories -- Rec, Motion Picture, Custom Menu, Setup, and Playback -- and for the most part the distribution of functions into those various categories makes good sense. Like most good camera interfaces these days, the G3 uses tabbed menu pages, so you always know where you are in a list of options. The Q.Menu can be accessed either via the touchscreen or by pressing the Q.Menu/Fn2/Trash/Return button (they really do stack up the functions on those few remaining hard keys). This menu provides theoretically quicker access to vital shooting controls (picture format and quality, video quality, focus mode, flash mode, etc), so you don't have to delve through the multiple pages of the main menu. In a neat little flourish, the G3 also allows you to customize the Q.Menu by dragging and dropping your favorite functions onto the array. Out of 24 possible functions, 15 can be chosen for the scrolling Q.Menu.
Video shooting is a very stripped-down affair on the G3. There are a total of five video format options. Two use the advanced AVCHD format (1920 x 1080 / 60i and 1280 x 720 / 60p), while three use the older Motion JPEG codec (1280 x 720, 640 x 480, and 320 x 240, all at 30fps). The camera has no dedicated movie setting on its Shooting Mode dial; to shoot video, you just press the bright red record button, regardless of what mode you're in. Like the advanced/enthusiast GH2 and unlike its predecessor, the G3 lets you shoot stills while shooting video, which is a nice bonus. Shutter speed or aperture can be set before recording if you're in S or A modes, but you can't choose both and you can't change them once you've begun. Moreover, the camera treats these settings as a suggestion and can override them without telling you, if it feels like the exposure could be better.
Focusing during video recording showcases one of the touchscreen's best attributes: the ability to tap to change focus subject mid-shot. In the film biz, this is known as "rack focus," and combined with shallow depth of field it can provide a very intuitive way of isolating a subject at critical moments. (For example, if you're recording a conversation you can easily switch focus between the two speakers as they take turns talking.) The G3 also provides continuous AF, in which it guesses at what you want to focus on, and does it for as long as you record. It's pretty good at it, too.
Image & Video Quality
The new 16-megapixel sensor in the G3 is a definite step up for the consumer end of the Micro Four Thirds market. Though it tops out at the same max ISO (6400) as the G2, it preserves more detail at high ISO, even with its 4 million additional pixels.
The camera's JPEG processing engine uses fairly aggressive noise reduction, and employs it even at pretty low ISO. At the base ISO of 160 you won't notice it much; images are sharp and crisp and you have to zoom to 1:1 to notice a very faint "smoothing" of the pixels. By ISO 800 the noise reduction techniques are more apparent, and at 3200 and 6400 there's a definite loss of fine detail. For evidence of this destruction of detail, have a look at the patterning in the orange patch behind "Guide to Writer's Homes" in our ISO test shots -- the pattern is clear as day at ISO 160 and virtually gone at ISO 6400. That said, the noise reduction algorithms employed by the G3 produce a generally pleasing image all the way up to ISO 6400, balancing noise suppression with detail retention very elegantly. It's one of the best implementations we've come across.
RAW files, which are not processed in-camera, show significant noise -- both of the more desirable luminance (film-esque grain) and more annoying chroma (splotchy colored pixels) varieties. However, they also retain remarkable detail even at ISO 6400. Using a RAW developer like SilkyPix (which is provided with the camera), the user can apply optional noise reduction algorithms to produce results better than the camera itself can when shooting JPEG. However, SilkyPix's NR engine is not as adept at filtering out chroma noise as the camera; perhaps Adobe Camera RAW will be better when it adds support for the G3's files, but at this point that's only speculation.
As noted above, the G3 is capable of producing bitingly sharp shots with the right lenses mounted. The 14-42mm kit lens is quite competent, but being a kit lens it's something of a compromise in terms of sheer optical ability. The Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 prime, on the other hand, is a stupendous performer. Paired with the G3, it's a joy to use. The Micro Four Thirds mount also allows for the use of a variety of third-party lenses with cheap adapters. So long as you don't mind manually focusing, you can use a huge array of excellent glass, both new and decades old, with this cutting-edge camera. During our testing we mounted a Nikon 135mm f/2.0 manual-focus lens on the G3 and shot with it for a while; the results were staggering, though it wasn't the easiest lens/camera combination to handhold.
The G3's metering is pretty much dead on, all the time. In general it will meter to preserve highlights, but rarely did we get an underexposed shot as a result (this was even without the shadow-boosting i.Dynamic setting enabled). Speaking of the sensor's dynamic range, we found it to be quite good for a Four Thirds sensor. Adjusting the exposure bias of RAW files in SilkyPix showed that images shot at base ISO could be pushed or pulled up to 3EV and probably a little further without significant image degradation. This is very good news for post-processing enthusiasts.
The G3's JPEGs are quite contrasty straight out of the camera on default settings, and in fact this became a problem when shooting in New Mexico's harsh sunlight. In combination with the camera's accurate but highlight-preserving metering, the added contrast in super-bright light created areas of overwhelmingly deep blacks anywhere a shadow fell in the frame. However, contrast can be adjusted in the camera's Photo Style menu, and the i.Dynamic setting will also help to alleviate it. Shooting RAW and adjusting exposure in post-processing is the best solution, but also the most time-consuming.
We had essentially no issues with the G3's automatic white balance in natural light. Colors were very true to life -- well-saturated without being over-the-top, and without any noticeable color casts. In dim incandescent light the G3 tends slightly toward warmer colors, but that's a symptom common to virtually all CMOS imaging sensors and it can be easily corrected in post.
Video quality is excellent for a consumer-oriented camera; in terms of sheer image quality it's probably very close to the GH2's equal, though it lacks that camera's manual controls and extra video-related gizmos. Focus transitions when using the touch-focus ability are pleasingly smooth, and thankfully there seems to be a minimum of the rolling shutter (aka "jello") effect when the camera is moved from side to side. The audio recorded by the onboard stereo mic is surprisingly clean and crisp, particularly for dialog, making it a very good choice for home video duty. Wind noise can be a problem, but a three-step "wind cut" setting helps to filter it out.
As you've probably gathered by this point, we think the G3 is an exceedingly competent camera. In fact, considering its price point and competition, it's really very good. The build quality is as sturdy as it needs to be, the design is slim and sexy, and the user interface is simple enough that anyone can pick it up and start shooting. For more advanced users, the camera may be a bit frustrating in its lack of physical controls, but once you've shot with it for a few days the touchscreen and menu-driven interface becomes second nature.
The G3 does have its flaws -- a glare-prone LCD that reduces the tilt-and-swivel design's usefulness, a very weak battery compared to most interchangeable lens cameras, and a few missing elements from previous G-series cameras (such as the sensor to automatically toggle between LCD and EVF usage). The LCD resolution is a little weak in an age of 920,000-pixel screens, and the EVF is still a poor substitute for a proper optical viewfinder. But really, these are all fairly minor concerns. What matters is that the G3 is capable of taking superb photos, and is a great camera for amateurs to learn on and grow with.
Much of the G3's value depends on what it offers relative to the competition. However, the mirrorless compact system camera market is surprisingly diverse, and it can be difficult for consumers to puzzle out which cameras offer which advantages. Below is a quick rundown of the G3's main competition.
The most direct challenge to the G3 comes from Olympus's PEN series, currently represented by the enthusiast-oriented E-P3 and newbie-oriented E-PL3 (with the even simpler E-PM1 to follow). Since both Panasonic and Olympus's cameras use very similar sensors, the differences between them are largely to do with ergonomics and user interface. Olympus's offerings sport a classical rangefinder style, similar to Panasonic's own GF options, with more of a retro flare. Their major technological advantage over the Panasonic models is that they include in-body image stabilization, while Panasonic employs in-lens optical stabilization on only some of its more expensive lenses.
Another competitor is Sony's NEX line, most notably the NEX-C3. Typical for Sony, the NEX cameras offer stunning industrial design with a super-slim profile. More importantly, they utilize current-generation APS-C sensors like those found in dSLRs like the Nikon D7000 and Pentax K-5. These sensors are largely than the Micro Four Thirds sensors used by Panasonic and Olympus, theoretically providing superior image quality.
The G3's own stablemate, the GF3, is one last obstacle. The two cameras share a clear engineering lineage, and they're on the shelf at a similar price point. Sure, the GF3 is smaller and lighter, and sure, the G3 includes some extra bells and whistles, but they're still fairly similar. Realistically, the GF3 is only slightly more pocketable than the G3, and despite its added features the G3 doesn't come close to matching the raw power of the GH2. But very significantly, the GF3 uses what is presumed to be the same 12 megapixel sensor as its predecessor, the GF2, and it doesn't hold a candle to the G3's stellar performance. Some buyers will also be turned off by the lack of an accessory port on the GF3.
Long story short, the G3 is a winning effort that is sure to attract some "step-up" point-and-shoot users looking for a sensible and easy upgrade, and will likely grab the attention of a number of enthusiast shooters as well. It offers a great mixture of excellent image quality, feature-rich design, and reasonable pricing, and most important of all, it's fun to use.

Alexandra.alden needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 35 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Humanitravels is a startup volunteer placement agency that will be sending volunteers to Latin America and beyond.
Humanitravels is an ethically operated green business that sends customers to do volunteer projects in Peru, Guatemala and Brazil. The projects can include community/social development, teaching in schools, reforestation, conservation etc. We will be expanding to include other countries in the next couple years.
We also offer tours, language schools, surf classes and consulting services.
We offer a personalized, tailored and cool approach. Their is constant customer-client interaction in a laid back atmosphere. We are a bit funky and intrepid. We wish to convey all these adjectives in our web design.
Our target audience would be mainly students aged from 18 - 25. They would be middle to upper middle class, educated and socially conscious.
We have a logo and a slogan that we want to include in the overall design. However we have changed our name from Humanitravel to Humanitravels so the designer would need to add that additional 's' to the logo. We want the logo and slogan to be included on every page.
We like the colors that the logo includes but are open to ideas. Remember we want to convey a green, ethical feel so earth tones are probably best. We like the example of STA Travel and other websites that have photos as the background. We have attached some photos that you could use or feel free to use other creative commons licensed photos.
We want a homepage, a gallery page, and a gallery page. The pages should coalesce design wise.
We want the page to be easily navigable and able to include add on such as twitter feeds.
We are going to work with projects in 3 (Peru, Guatemala and Brazil) countries so for each country we would like a photo relating to that country as the background. The template can remain the same jus the background pic should be different. NOTE: We have attached pics for Brazil we don't have any of Guatemala and Peru.
If you have any questions feel free to email us at email@example.com
PAGE 1: should be the Homepage there should be buttons for contacting us which should lead them to a contact form. There should also be 'share' buttons for Facebook, Twitter and Digg. There should be space for our phone number to be prominently displayed. Each tab will of course have a different heading so the template should be able to be used across the board.
PAGE 2: Will be the Gallery Page. They should be divided up by country. The photos should be large thumbnails and have a slideshow option. Of course we will not upload them all now. There should also be space for a caption. We do not want a photo as they background for this page because it will clutter the page. Again 'share' buttons should be present.
http://www.statravel.com - we like the photo background, sleekness and navigability
http://www.humanitour.com/ we do not like this website. The color layout is bad and it looks amateur. Feel free to use this as a reference as what not to do.

When CNS photographer Bob Roller and I paid a visit to St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Fayette, Iowa, as part of a trip to the Midwest for a CNS series on rural America, Father Jim Brokman, pastor, took us on a tour of the parish grounds. He didn't really expect we'd want to see the inside of his garage.
He noted that when he took over as pastor of the parish, in the Dubuque Archdiocese, the garage was too cluttered for his liking. Inside there was indeed a bit of clutter, including some Christmas decoratons — and a bronze 1966 Dodge Charger in impossibly perfect condition.
The car isn't Father Brokman's, nor does it belong to the parish. Fayette hosts a classic-car fair each summer, and one of the regular participants rents space in the garage to store his Charger. Even in a dark garage, this bronze beauty shone.

MILPITAS, CA, August 20, 2010 - SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), the global leader in flash memory cards, announced today that it has priced $1.0 billion principal amount of Convertible Senior Notes due in 2017. In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional $150 million principal amount of notes from the Company to cover overallotments.
The notes will be senior unsecured obligations and will pay interest semiannually at a rate of 1.5% per annum. The notes will be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at an initial conversion rate of 19.0931 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $52.37 per share). The initial conversion price represents a premium of 25% to the $41.90 per share closing price of the Company's common stock on August 19, 2010. The notes will be convertible beginning on May 15, 2017, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events. Upon conversion of the notes, holders will receive cash up to the principal amount of each note, and any excess conversion value will be delivered in shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including (1) the repayment at maturity or repurchase, from time to time, of a portion of its outstanding $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of senior convertible notes originally issued in 2006, which bear interest at a rate of 1% per annum and mature on May 15, 2013; (2) capital expenditures for new and existing manufacturing facilities; (3) development of new technologies; (4) general working capital; and (5) other non-manufacturing capital expenditures. The net proceeds may also be used to fund strategic investments or acquisitions of products, technologies or complementary businesses or to obtain the right or license to use additional technologies. The Company currently has no such commitments or agreements for any specific acquisitions, investments or licenses. In addition, the Company intends to use $104.8 million of the net proceeds of the offering to fund the cost to it of the privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (after taking into account the proceeds to it from warrant transactions) that the Company intends to enter into with the underwriters or their respective affiliates. The Company has entered into separate warrant transactions with the underwriters or their respective affiliates, at an exercise price that will initially be $73.33 per share, which represents a premium of 75% to the $41.90 per share closing price of the Company's common stock on August 19, 2010. These convertible note hedge transactions and warrant transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Company's common stock upon conversion of the notes; however, the warrant transactions will have a dilutive effect with respect to the Company's common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company's common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants.
In connection with these hedging transactions, the underwriters or their respective affiliates have entered into various derivatives transactions and may engage in other activities that could have the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the price of the Company's common stock in connection with the pricing of the note offering. These activities may be discontinued at any time. In addition, in connection with any conversion of the notes, the underwriters or their respective affiliates may enter into derivative transactions and engage in other activities that could adversely impact the price of the Company's common stock and of the notes.
Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co. are the joint book running managers for the offering.
A final prospectus supplement related to the offering will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Printed copies of the final prospectus supplement relating to the offering may also be obtained, when available, from Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Prospectus Department, 180 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 (telephone no. 1-212-761-6775) and Goldman, Sachs & Co., Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, NY 10282 (telephone no. 1-866-471-2526, facsimile: 1-212-902-9316, or by e-mailing: firstname.lastname@example.com).
The Company has filed a registration statement (File No. 333-157078) (including a prospectus and prospectus supplement) with the SEC for the offering. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus and prospectus supplement to that registration statement and other documents the Company has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the Company and the offering. You may obtain these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov.

Cook's Ham Introduces Portion-Controlled Ham Chops And Medallions
Family gatherings may not be as large and as frequent as years ago, when aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family gathered on Sunday afternoons to enjoy grandma's weekly feast. But that does not mean that families want to sacrifice the big, bold tastes of that center-of-plate protein -- the roast, the bird, the ham.
Farmland Foods Inc., Kansas City, Mo., owners of the Cook's Ham brand since 2006, makes it possible to enjoy a full-size ham in a portion-controlled approach. The company is adding two new offerings to its Cook's Everyday Cuts line. Designed for nightly family dinners, the two new options — chops and medallions — are carved from Cook's famous whole bone-in hams.
"Our research has shown consumers are bored with giving their families the same thing day in and day out, and are tired of trying to find new ways to make the same things differently," says Brendan Smith, vice president of marketing. "Everyday Cuts gives consumers the variety and ease they want with the high quality they know and love in Cook's products."
Everyday Cuts are pre-cooked for quick preparation in the oven or on stove top or grill. The wide variety of meat cuts, which can be seasoned, glazed or grilled, give busy consumers new and easy-to-prepare options the whole family will love. The smaller serving sizes and individual packaging also make clean up as simple as the preparation.

DNS Changer: Is Your Computer Safe?
(NEW YORK) -- When the clock struck 12:01 a.m. ET today the FBI pulled the plug on the temporary Internet servers it set up to keep computers online if they were infected with a piece of malware called the DNS Changer. The pulling of the plug had the potential to leave as many as 250,000 worldwide without Internet access.
How widespread was the problem really? If you're able to see this story, that should be a very good sign.
Internet Service Providers (or ISPs), like Comcast, Verizon, and Time Warner Cable, have been working with the FBI since January, pinpointing those with infected computers and instructing them on how to remove the DNS malware. The DNS Changer, the FBI said, was created by overseas hackers who were arrested in 2011.
The FBI provided weekly lists of IP addresses to the Internet companies and, in turn, the companies informed their customers of the issue and instructions on how to remove the malware.
If you received no notification, and want to make sure your machine is not infected, you can check by clicking on this link, run by the DNS Changer Working Group, a team working on cleanup resulting from the malware.
Comcast, Verizon, and Time Warner Cable told ABC News they informed users by sending emails and old-fashioned letters, making phone calls to them, even putting pop-up messages in their browsers.
"We did another last push last week and we even sent another hard copy letter to users. As a result, less than 1 percent of our customers will be affected by today's change," Charlie Douglas, a Comcast spokesperson, told ABC News.
Time Warner Cable said it has been working to make sure that even those affected wouldn't have their Internet shut off. "Time Warner Cable has set up its own DNS servers and any TWC customers infected will continue to be able to use the Internet," Time Warner's Justin Venech told ABC News. "We feel that we are providing a better customer experience if we allow any customers who are infected with this malware to stay online."
Like Comcast and other ISPs, Time Warner said it does not expect many customers to have issues today.
"We do not expect to receive many, if any, incoming customer service calls as a result of this issue," Venech said. Similarly, Comcast's spokesperson said, "We've seen extremely low call volume, but our agents are ready to help customers."
Customer service representatives at the ISPs have been trained to help those who call in with issues because of the DNS changer malware issue. Customers who call in will be walked through the fix. Many companies have also launched sites to help those who are having issues.

Burns showing off speed, soaking up knowledge
PHOENIX -- The 967th pick in the 2011 Draft is perhaps the No. 1 sight to see in A's camp this year. But don't dare blink, or you'll miss him.
Billy Burns is a 5-foot-9 blur. He's all speed all the time, a Pete Rose-type hustler, some scouts say, and maybe the fastest to grace the game since Rickey Henderson.
PHOENIX -- The 967th pick in the 2011 Draft is perhaps the No. 1 sight to see in A's camp this year. But don't dare blink, or you'll miss him.
Billy Burns is a 5-foot-9 blur. He's all speed all the time, a Pete Rose-type hustler, some scouts say, and maybe the fastest to grace the game since Rickey Henderson.
"Without a doubt," said Mark Harris, Burns' hitting coach at Low-A and High-A ball. "Billy gets to full speed as fast as anyone I've ever seen."
"It's a jailbreak with him all the time," said A's manager Bob Melvin. "Very few guys I've seen are at top speed within two steps like that. We knew he was fast, but not like this."
There's no telling whether Burns would beat Reds speedster Billy Hamilton in a foot race, but it's something Harris and other coaches in the Nationals' system dreamed about all the time.
Harris considers himself spoiled to have been able to watch Burns for two years. Now, it's Melvin's turn.
It was back in December, during the Winter Meetings, when the A's pulled the trigger yet again with their favorite trade partners, snagging a baby-faced outfielder from the Nationals in exchange for lefty reliever and fan favorite Jerry Blevins.
Harris' wife cried.
"You sit there and you were sad, because he's just that special of a person," Harris said of Burns. "You were sad that he was leaving, but you're also saying, too, from a personal standpoint, as far as the organization is concerned, 'You know what? We took a late-sign guy and he just got traded for a big leaguer.'"
Burns was initially selected in the 16th round of the 2008 Draft by his hometown Braves but turned them down to attend Mercer University in Macon, Ga., where he intently read "Moneyball." The boy who grew up admiring Derek Jeter and Rafael Furcal quickly developed into a premier leadoff hitter with the Bears yet still fell nearly 500 spots in the 2011 Draft before the Nationals took a chance on him.
Burns was a right-handed hitting outfielder with no power and a below-average arm, but on the 20-80 scale that scouts use to evaluate skills -- 20 being very poor, 80 being the top tier -- he was an 80 runner.
"So you keep that in your mind," said Harris, "but usually when you draft a guy like that in whatever round and give him $1,000, those kind of guys are the fill guys, the ones that fill out your team, and you try to make them the best you possibly can. But Billy is this guy, really eager to learn and he wants to soak up everything you tell him. He's excited about it, and you see that in his personality from the first time you meet him. He truly wanted to get better."
So it was time for a new challenge to throw at the kid, who starred as a slot receiver and cornerback at Walton High in Marietta, Ga. Football was in his genes -- his father, Bob Burns, served as a reserve running back and teammate of Joe Namath for the 1974 New York Jets. But entertaining offers to play for Division I college football programs only amounted to just that.
He got a better deal for baseball, and now the game was asking something of him this time. The Nationals approached him about becoming a switch-hitter. Because, what did they have to lose on a 32nd-round Draft pick?
"His best skill is his speed," said Harris, "so you'd have to be stupid to not take advantage of what he does best and get him a step and a half closer to first base. Turns out, it was the biggest thing to happen to him."
"It was not easy. It's still not easy," Burns said, laughing. "It's still a work in progress all the time. It was pretty embarrassing at first, hitting left-handed in games. The muscles aren't coordinated enough, and it just takes a while to be comfortable. The confidence wasn't there. The coordination wasn't there. It was just really awkward, if you can imagine."
The process started at the end of 2011 in instructional league, with Burns showing up to the park hours before his teammates to get his work in, and ramped up in 2012. He hit .320 as a left-hander against right-handed pitching in Class-A Hagerstown and .324 from the right side that year. Last season, he batted .307 from the left side and .339 from the right, finishing the year at Double-A Harrisburg.
Burns also posted a .425 on-base percentage and was successful in 74 of his 81 stolen-base attempts, putting him in an elite group with top prospects Byron Buxton and Delino DeShields as the only Minor Leaguers last season with more than 50 stolen bases and an OBP surpassing .400.
"It's not like the information that was offered to Billy was different than the information offered to anyone else," said Harris. "Everyone gets the same information, the same opportunity. It's what you do with it. Billy was just one of those guys that has grasped everything that everyone was trying to teach him."
He still is. The affable Burns chatted up fellow switch-hitter Coco Crisp on the first day of camp, and the speedy veteran has become something of a mentor to the 24-year-old. He's also worked extensively with hitting coach Chili Davis, one of the game's best switch-hitters of all time.
"He came over to me and saw that every time I get back to the bag, unless I'm leaning, I get back standing up," said Crisp. "That's something he wanted to learn how to do. I feel like, over the course of the year, you can beat yourself up a little bit by diving back and getting up. Pitchers like to disrupt you that way, and you get tired doing it. You don't want to tire yourself out before you have a chance to steal.
"I like the kid. He's shown great instincts at the plate, on the bases, even in the outfield."
Burns has a chance to start the year at Triple-A Sacramento. For now, he' soaking in his first big league camp, and those watching him hope spring lasts forever.
He leads all players with seven stolen bases and his own team with nine hits. He's demonstrated tremendous instincts as a leadoff hitter, works counts and bunts, and his blazing raw speed has already created a ton of havoc for opponents.
It just may be his ticket to The Show.
"He's probably beating out ground balls and ending up in scoring position," said Harris. "I saw that happen 50 times in two years. I'm serious. Then there's the guys who throw the ball down the right-field line and he ends up at third base. He forces teams to change their defense.
"Anytime you look up, he's in the middle of the action, always doing something. He'll do something to help you win."
Perhaps that's why he earned the name "Boy Wonder" in the Minors? Not so much.
"We used to say he was a cult hero to all the 13-year-old girls," said Harris, laughing. "Everyone loves him and loves to watch him play. He's just that guy you root for."

Here's good news for President Barack Obama: The slice of Americans who believe he is a Muslim is down to 11 percent, according to a new Gallup Poll. That number was up to 18 percent two years ago, in a Pew Research Center survey, after hitting 11 percent in 2009.
This time around, 52 percent of Democrats knew the president is a Protestant Christian, as opposed to 24 percent of Republicans. Only 3 percent of Democrats said Obama is a Muslim, while 18 percent of Republicans thought so. The number of Gallup respondents who answered "none/no religion" was fairly even -- 10 percent of independents, 7 percent of Republicans and 6 percent of Democrats.
In many ways, the most remarkable number in these polls is that -- after years of public professions by Obama -- nearly 137 million Americans answer "don't know" when asked to name his faith. That's 44 percent of those polled in this recent Gallup effort.
"It's clear most Democrats recognize that he is a liberal Christian or they just don't care," said Mark Edward Taylor, author of "Branding Obama: The Rise of an American Idol." Meanwhile, on the other side, Republicans are "much more likely to say that they are confused about his faith or that they doubt he is really a Christian.
"That could be what some people really mean when they say they don't know Obama's religion."
Meanwhile, there are liberals who think Obama is lying when he says he is a believer. HBO comedian Bill Maher spoke for this flock when he said: "If you woke him up in the middle of the night, or if you gave him sodium pentothal, I think (Obama would say) he's a centrist the way he is a Christian -- not really."
From this perspective, it's crucial that the president's father was a skeptical Muslim and that Obama has, at various times, described his mother as "an agnostic" and "a lonely witness for secular humanism," as well as "a Christian from Kansas," noted Taylor. Young Obama grew up with Joseph Campbell's "The Power of Myth," as well as the Bible and the Koran.
Still, there's plenty of evidence the rising politico paid attention during his years at Trinity United Church of Christ.
One thing's for sure: Obama didn't learn his call-and-response pulpit skills at Harvard Law School. He plugged into a liberal African-American congregation in order to build his South Chicago credibility, while hitting the golf links to learn how to reach into executive suites.
By the time he went national, these lessons had been fused into a powerful advertising formula driven by the words "change," "hope" and "believe." In his book, Taylor says the key is that the "believe" component centered on Obama's image, talent and personal story -- not a creed. The candidate offered "himself to America," rather than political or religious specifics.
"At no time did Obama declare, 'I am the Messiah.' Every time he stepped into the spotlight, though, he talked and acted like one," argued Taylor. "Obama created a messianic personality by being messianic. ... He preached justice, righteousness and compassion. He proclaimed the end of war and peace among nations. He prophesied the healing of the planet. Obama never told the American people that he was their Savior. He showed them his plan for redemption."
This take on faith rings true for millions of Americans. Yet millions of other Americans balk at Obama's privatized definition of "sin" as "being out of alignment with my values." In that same 2004 interview with journalist Cathleen Falsani, Obama said he was unsure about heaven and hell, but that "whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing."
Taylor is convinced this division -- between two very different views of faith -- is what keeps showing up in poll results about Obama and religion.
"All I know is that Obama recently played his 100th round of golf on a Sunday morning. I don't know if he went to church that Sunday morning or not," he said. "When we look at these poll numbers, perhaps what we are really seeing is the result of what these Americans think about religious faith. What they say about Obama may tell us as much or more about them as it does about Obama."

It didn't take long for the Detroit Lions to replace kicker Jason Hanson.
The team has agreed to terms with six-time Pro Bowl kicker David Akers, according to his agent Jerrold Colton.
Akers, who spent the last two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, visited the Lions this week. At age 38, he's four years younger than Hanson.
Akers, who was undrafted, made his NFL debut in 1998 with the Washington Redskins. He was a long-time kicker for the Philadelphia Eagles (1999-2010).
He has a 81 percent career field goal percentage.
Last season with the 49ers he was 29 of 42 (69 percent) on field goals and averaged 66 yards on kickoffs.
An Ironman, Akers has not missed a game since 2005.
Hanson announced his retirement on Thursday after 21 seasons with the Lions. He said a heel injury from last season was the reason he was calling it quits. He will say his good-byes at a press conference on Tuesday.
(Follow @PaulaPasche on Twitter. Hanson is Chapter 11 in her book, "100 Things Lions Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.")

5 Bad Habits to Break
Habits can be good or bad but in my case they tend to be mostly bad. I have a lot of bad habits across the board. It got me thinking that perhaps other people shared similar if not the same bad habit. If we work together I think we can break some of these. With summer approaching I would like to fix some of these for a slightly more stressless 3 months.
1. "I'll do it in a minute" famous last words as I like to say, but seriously, how often do we utter those words throughout any given day and we never actually do what we've said we will do. I'm getting tired of remembering days later about something I was supposed to do. Tonight I finally cleaned out my car and wiped down my windshield so I could actually see. Every night I came home, I would say out loud, I really need to clean out my car. Each and every morning when I got into my car, I would say the same thing. Why do we let everything else stand in our way? Well tonight I took a stand and can not wait to get into my car tomorrow morning.
2. Keeping old makeup. I don't know about you but this is a pretty bad habit that I currently have. I have a couple of reasons behind why I keep my makeup for so long but I know that I need to 86 those reasons and just buy new makeup. As of lately I keep seeing these awesome pins on Pinterist about how long you should be keeping your makeup. Clearly I know these rules but choose to ignore them, even though I'm supposed to be such a "Fashionista". Well I'll let you in on another secret, my eyes have been bothering me, and I WAS chalking it up to allergies but then it hit me, MY MASCARA IS OLD! Yup, one of these rules has finally come to bite me in the ass. It looks like I'll be buying some tomorrow, oy vey. In all seriousness replacing items such as mascara and eyeliner can really be a good thing, especially if you're prone to infections, and no one wants an eye infection.
3. Not drinking enough. No, I'm not talking about alcohol. Throughout my day and even more when I'm traveling I forget to drink liquids. In my case, water. I can't drink soda or juice, so water is supposed to be my go-to. I keep using "busy" as an excuse but it really needs to stop being one. I feel about 100% better when I've consumed a decent amount of water during the course of day. It's even more important when traveling to drink a lot. Elevations and dry air can make you really dehydrated and that's awful when you're supposed to be enjoying yourself. Most of my excuses when I'm traveling relate to "using the bathroom". I hate using the bathroom when I'm traveling, especially on a plane, but it's just one of those things that I'm pretty sure I need to get over. There are so many health benefits from staying hydrated that it should be a no brainer.
4. Road rage. Tonight I was driving home from work and about every 5 minutes or so I felt myself muttering under my breath or actually yelling at the car in front of me. I actually had to stop and think to myself, what is my damn rush? Why are we always in a rush? I'm literally ALWAYS in a rush. Whether it's in my car or not, I am always rushing to go somewhere. When did that become the norm? I've figured out that I am such a bitch behind the wheel lately it's not even funny, and for what? What does getting upset about another driver actually do? It doesn't help the situation, it doesn't get you where you need to be any faster, so why do we get so angry? I need to stop and I'm assuming a lot of people need to also. Just food for thought.
5. No Fun. When's the last time you went out and had some straight up fun? You're having trouble remembering because "fun" is far and few between. I've been dating lately and having some serious fun! It's great to get out and meet people and experience new and exciting times. I've also been much more focused on "me". After being in a relationship you really lose perspective on what matters most to you. Having fun is my new motto and I plan to stick with it throughout the next few months. I'm tired of losing myself to others and I'm looking forward to creating some new fun memories this summer.
So of course these are just my bad habits but I would like to think that some of you share these with me. It would be nice to break even at least one of these over the next couple of months. What are some of your bad habits?

The Chinese black beans, should not be confused with the dried black beans used in Western cooking. Black beans can be found in Oriental markets, and are actually fermented soy beans. They have a distinctive and pleasant rich aroma and keep forever in a clean glass jar with a tight fitting lid. If you cannot find fresh snapper fillets, any firm, white fillet will work. You can also use a whole fish, just make 3, deep, diagonal gashes on each side of the fish.

After working at Shell for 10 years, Krishna understands how helpful the Shell Graduate Programme can be. "Shell is a very big company. I often say Shell covers everything 'from wells to wheels': it's very multi-faceted organisation. That's why I believe you need a mentor, to help shape your career and guide your future path; to be a compass in this sea of opportunities."
Krishna completed a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, which led him to his current role as Crude Oil Consultant in Shell's Projects and Technology. It's a role he describes as thrilling because: "I help support the operations of our refineries across the Asia- Pacific region. I'm part of a team that solves difficult technical and process problems which arise and can impact our operations."
Krishna views mentoring as a vital aspect of shaping a graduates career: "Qualifications are undoubtedly important. However, I also know you learn so much extra through your day-to-day exposure in working for Shell. This new and diverse work experience is often a real learning curve. You need a guide who's been there and knows the terrain. That's why the mentor/mentee relationship is important for Shell, I believe."

NOTE::: This is the most reliable way to make a career (always works if you follow the directions right. If you don't feel like doing it 100% manually, there are templates, auto-career makers and such available for download in the FOFix thread. I may post links to them here later.
By::: Razlo7
Simply follow these steps in order:::
1. Add "unlock_id = " to each of the song.ini's in the career pack that you want to make.
2. After "unlock_id = ", put an id for the song (Example::: "unlock_id = gh3_1" that would be the id for the songs of gh3's first tier)
3. For the encore song of that tier you would put the id of the tier (gh3_1) then add "enc" to the end (Example::: "unlock_id = gh3_1enc")
4. To make the encore unlockable, you have to put "unlock_require = " into the song.ini as well (NOTE::: if the song doesn't need to be unlocked, then leave that out!) So to make that encore unlockable, you would put the id of the song that needs to be completed to unlock it. The "unlock_require" for the gh3 1st tier encore would be "unlock_require = gh3_1"
5. For each tier, you must change the number in the "unlock_id" after the underscore (_) to the number that the tier will be. (Example::: 2nd tier: "unlock_id = gh3_2", 3rd tier: "unlock_id = gh3_3", etc.)
After you've made the "unlock_id"'s and "unlock_require"'s for all of the songs you want in the career pack, you need to make a "titles.ini"
6. BEFORE MAKING A TITLES.INI, make a folder named for the career pack, and put all the songs for the career pack into that folder. (leave the songs in thier own folders)
7. Now you can make a titles.ini in the folder named for the career pack.
HERE'S HOW TO SETUP YOUR "titles.ini"
8. In the titles.ini you've created, copy and paste this:::
Code: Select all
Add as many more tiers as you need, just make sure to leave a blank line between each one, and ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO LEAVE A WHOLE BLANK LINE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TITLES.INI!
9. Under "[titles]" at the top of the titles.ini, put "sections = " after the equals, put the tier1 tier2 tier3 tier4, etc. and leave a space between each one. You only need to add as many tiers as you are going to have in the career pack.
It should look something like this:::
Code: Select all
sections = tier1 tier2 tier3 tier4 tier5 tier6 bonus
10. Now you need to name the tiers of your career pack. Under the tier number ([tier1], [tier2], etc.) put "name = " and add ANYTHING after that. That will become the name of that tier.
11. On the line under "name = ", put "unlock_id = " and put the id that you used for the songs of that tier (Example for tier2, the unlock id would be "unlock_id = gh3_2", just like the id of the song.ini's for tier2 songs.)
Finally, you should have your titles.ini looking something like this::: (when done, also yours will have the id's of whatever your career is.)
Code: Select all
sections = tier1 tier2 tier3 tier4 tier5 tier6 bonus
name = 1. Getting The Band Together (Nipmuc High School)
unlock_id = gha_1
name = 2. First Taste Of Success (Max's Kansas City)
unlock_id = gha_2
name = 3. The Triumphant Return (The Orpheum)
unlock_id = gha_3
name = 4. International Superstars (Moscow)
unlock_id = gha_4
name = 5. The Great American Band (Half-Time Show)
unlock_id = gha_5
name = 6. Rock N' Roll Legends (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame)
unlock_id = gha_6
name = Bonus (The Vault)
unlock_id = gha_7
NOTE::: If you are going to have more than 10 tiers, you MUST put a zero in front of single digits for the IDs!! (Thanks to ADH for the reminder) And you can only have ONE unlock_id under each of the tiers in the titles.ini!
ALSO, you can make part of the songs in the tier unlocked, then another part, THEN the encore by adding changing those parts into "unlock_id = gh3_1a" or whatever would correspond to your career. BUT, you will also have to change the "unlock_require = " to the part that needs to be completed.
GOOD LUCK!!! AND HAPPY CAREER MAKING!!! (Tell me if I left something out, or if it isn't working.)

National Year of Reading
UTS Library will be hosting a series of FREE author talks throughout the month of May as part of the continuing National Year of Reading celebrations.
The final talk in this series is being presented by Kirsten Tranter author of A Common Loss, published in 2012. Kirsten will be reading an excerpt out of her book and talking about the road to becoming an author and producing captivating and enthralling literature.
A Common Loss is the highly anticipated second novel from Australian writer, Kirsten Tranter, whose bestselling debut novel, The Legacy, was published to international critical acclaim. It was long-listed for the Miles Franklin Prize and short-listed for the Australian Literary Medal.
Once again, Tranter's weave of watertight prose and literary sensibilities shows her to be a born writer with a precocious control of storytelling and style.
About the book - A Common Loss
They were originally five. Elliot. Brian. Tallis. Cameron. And charismatic Dylan: the mediator, the leader and the man each one turned to in a time of crisis. Five close friends, bonded in college, still coming together for their annual trip to Las Vegas. This year they are four. Four friends, sharing a common loss: Dylan's tragic death. A common loss that, upon their arrival in Vegas, will bring with it a common threat: one that will make them question who their departed friend really was, and whether he is even worthy of their grief.
Kirsten Tranter grew up in Sydney, lived in New York for eight years and holds a PhD in English Renaissance literature from Rutgers University. Her debut novel, The Legacy (4th Estate, 2010), was long-listed for the Miles Franklin Award and for the Australian Literary Medal. She currently lives in Sydney with her husband and son.
A Common Loss and The Legacy will be available for sale at the talk and Kirsten will be signing copies of her books.
So bring your lunch and join us for what promises to be an interesting talk.
DATE: Monday, 28 May
TIME: 12pm - 1pm
VENUE: Learning Commons, Level 3, City Campus Library
This is a free event.
All are welcome.
No RSVP or booking is required.
Bookings are required for non-UTS attendees

Airpark Estates Real Estate
This unique little subdivision has one very unique amenity – direct access to the Cameron Park Airport via aircraft taxiways. Once a vineyard, this flight-lovers community features wide streets, which double as taxiways, connecting residents' homes to the adjacent airport. Many homes have hangars, which house personal aircraft, allowing residents to commute to and from the area entirely by air.
The 100' taxiway streets were modified to accommodate light aircraft. With its underground utilities and shortened street signs, it was one of California's first and most successful residential-aviation integrated subdivisions. The airport is also home to the Show N' Shine & Fly-In every fall, featuring vintage aircraft and classic cars.
The Cameron Park Country Club is not far, and offers many family amenities, including a heated pool and junior golf programs. The Cameron Park Lake offers more rustic swimming, in the lagoon, which is open daily during the summer months. There are also tennis courts, a playground, fishing, trails, and picnic area. The Lake is also home to the area's Summer Spectacular, a large community gathering in late June, featuring music, arts and crafts, and fireworks.
Cameron Park is a rural mix of large ranches, residential, and commercial property. Nearby attractions include Bass Lake, the American River, and Apple Hill. Downtown Sacramento is just 35 miles away and the shores and slopes of Lake Tahoe are just a convenient 90-minute drive.
