Scottsdale honors its employees
SCOTTSDALE – Fire Engineer Ray Morris was named the 2012 recipient of the Herbert R. Drinkwater Award and Scottsdale's Fire Marshall, Deputy Fire Chief Jim Ford was named the recipient of the Bill Donaldson Award at the city's annual awards ceremony today.
The Drinkwater award, in its 15th year, goes annually to a Scottsdale city employee or employees who set an outstanding example through their volunteerism and dedication to serving others.
Morris has made an impact by volunteering and advocating for fathers who have children with special needs through an organization he created in 2001. Morris has a child with special needs, and as a parent, recognized the need for strength, mutual support and shared wisdom, but noted a distinct lack of community resources. This led Morris to form Dads 4 Special Kids.
Through his selfless dedication, Morris offers support groups, one-on-one support, training programs, workshops and family resources in the belief that no one should raise a child with special needs alone.
"This employee fully embraces the values of the Herb Drinkwater Award," said Mayor Jim Lane in presenting the award. "He truly cares about making a positive impact within our community and is a wonderful role model for the fathers and families he helps and supports."
The Drinkwater Award is named in honor of the city's former mayor, who served four terms and became one of the most popular elected officials in the state. Drinkwater retired in 1996. He died of cancer in 1997.
Deputy Fire Chief Jim Ford received this year's Donaldson Award, named after a former city manager. The award is given annually by the Scottsdale city manager to an employee or group of employees who show great vision and innovation, help others through humanitarian efforts and work as team-builders.
"Jim Ford is an individual who defines 'public servant,' representing a group that is one of the core functions of city government," said Acting City Manager Dan Worth. "His pioneering research and advocacy on behalf of mandatory sprinkler systems has established Scottsdale as a national and international leader in fire safety."
Scottsdale Acting City Manager Dan Worth and the city's executive staff presented the following awards to individuals for exhibiting traits embodied in the eight Employee Values. The recipients were:
• "Be Accountable and Act with Integrity" – Court Efficiency Team: Carron Close, Julie Dybas, Jeffrey Landrum, Angela Rose and Janet Wraspir.
• "Collaborate as a Team" – Enhanced Public Safety and Communications Team: Anthony Brewer, Steven Cerqua, Milan Dobras, Joseph Gallina, Jennifer Jensen, Kevin Kilday, Eric Lawrence, Christopher McDowell, Thomas Melton, Steven Muhle, Steven Powell, Kevin Sonoda and Carey Tolle.
• "Focus on Quality Customer Service" – Plumbing Maintenance Team: Miles Bublik, John McKeever and Louie Rabago.
• "Learn and Grow Continuously" – Paiute Early Childhood Team: Julia Bautista, Leslie Matus, Marie Raymond, Norma Saldana and Ana Valadez.
• "Listen, Communicate, Take Action" – Downtown Maintenance Team: George Bouzanquet, Bernardo Corrales, Hayden Lancaster, Jody Peters, Steven Petryszyn, Christopher Walsmann and Jose Zazueta.
• "Plan and Innovate" – Library Planning Team: Dana Braccia, Kathy Coster, Carol Damaso, Aimee Fifarek and Cheryl Thomsen.
• "Respect the Individual" – Sheila Williams
• "Show Caring and Compassion" – Joanne Meierdirks

As a scientist and a mom, I am horrified that carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere just hit a record high. Arctic monitoring stations are reporting that levels of this heat-trapping gas have reached 400 parts per million, putting the world at increasing risk of catastrophic climate change.
We're already experiencing dangerous warming. The U.S. just experienced its hottest spring on record, and the decade from 2000 to 2010 was the warmest on record.
Our kids face a tough future. As the Earth warms, excessive heat, extreme weather and rising sea levels will threaten agriculture and fresh water supplies, as well as coastal cities, our planet's biodiversity and the welfare and lives of hundreds of millions of people around the globe.
But there's still time to get a handle on this dangerous problem. The EPA must get serious about using the Clean Air Act to reduce carbon dioxide pollution from existing power plants. We need a national emissions limit that will help us get carbon dioxide concentrations back down to 350 parts per million - the level needed to avoid many dangerous impacts.
Our children are depending on us to get carbon dioxide pollution under control. When I look in my daughter's eyes, I know we can't let them down.

U.S. College Kids Arrested in Cairo Protests to Be Freed
The three American students arrested in Cairo earlier this week for allegedly tossing back too many Molotov cocktails will either be freed from jail or have already been freed, depending on which news source defines your reality.
For personal safety reasons they're being advised to come back to the U.S. immediately, which means cutting short their study-abroading at American University in Cairo and having to give up koshari: the amazing macaroni, lentils, rice, chickpeas, and other-things dish that—unlike just about every other foreign food that does not involve exotic animal parts—remains highly elusive in the U.S. It's so cheap to make! A savvy food vendor could make so much money selling it...somebody get on this.
Derrik Sweeney, the terrified-looking fellow on the far right, should expect to receive a very long hug from his mom upon his return.

If they stick around long enough, great actors — or great American actors, anyway — often seem to go through similar, predictable stages in their careers. Namely, a thrilling, volatile early brilliance, followed by a period of sustained mastery — usually resulting in at least one Oscar. Then, self-parody and near-obsolescence, and finally, resurrection and redemption in later years, in roles that remind everyone why they became stars (and legends) in the first place.
DeNiro, Pacino, Brando (of course) — they all fit the bill, as does Dustin Hoffman, whose range and sharpness as an actor has often been obscured by roles in abominable films. (Sphere, anyone? The Messenger? Little Fockers, fer chrissake?)
But an objective look at the titles and roles for which Hoffman is best known offers clear proof that, despite his annoying, mumbling public persona, the Los Angeles native is one of the most accomplished screen actors America has ever produced: The Graduate. Midnight Cowboy. Little Big Man. Kramer vs. Kramer. Rain Man. Papillon. Tootise. Lenny. All the President's Men. Wag the Dog.
And then, of course there's his television work — including his role voicing Lisa's cool, sensitive, thoughtful substitute teacher, Mr. Bergstrom, in one of the greatest episodes of The Simpsons. (Contractual snags meant that Hoffman had to perform using a pseudonym, so he's credited as Sam Etic. Semitic. Get it?)
Here, LIFE.com offers photographs of Dustin Hoffman — most of which never ran in LIFE — made by John Dominis when the actor was just coming into his own as an artist and a star. (Many of the photos here feature Hoffman with his first wife, Anne Byrne, and her daughter from a previous marriage, Karina.)
At the time these pictures were made, Midnight Cowboy and The Graduate were behind him. Many of his greatest, defining roles were still ahead of him. But Hoffman admitted something to the magazine in the July 11, 1969, issue of LIFE — in which a few of these pictures first appeared — that today sounds a bit jarring:
"I don't think at 50 you should be doing what you did when you were 30," he said, referring to his own plans to become a director as soon as possible. "Acting , especially film acting, seems to me to be more of a female profession. The director, who has all the creative power, really uses the actor. I don't know many actors who enjoy the work of acting. I like the adulation, the money, the whole gimmick of it, but I don't think I'm a natural actor."
Then, in a kind of wistful coda, the 31-year-old Hoffman admits, "I don't see how people who have done 70 movies keep going."
Before he's through, the man who has inhabited some of the most distinctive characters in film history might look back at that sort of declaration and crack that famous, crooked, knowing smile.

1) 1) Jacksonville Jaguars – Jack of the River has gone from being on the hot seat to being able to do whatever he wants – our "sources" indicate that he frequently orders staffers to bite down on the handles of wooden spoons, fill the spoons with ketchup and then do jumping jacks. It's amazing how success can alter opinion. This team is solid throughout. Last year, Del Rio took what many regarded as a huge chance by letting the incumbent starter go (Leftwich) in favor of a lesser known performer (sound familiar). His gamble paid off and the team flourished under Garrard. Interesting note that really has nothing to do with the present Jax team, but Al Harris said without a doubt, the hardest WR he's ever had to cover was Jimmy Smith. That guy was good. 11-5.
2) 2) Indianapolis Colts – To me, it's a bit hard to believe that Indy is just a couple seasons removed from a Super Bowl victory. This team seems to be quite a bit different now even though a good number of the players from the SB are still on the team. The loss of Jeff Saturday hurts – I'll bet that guy was a great college player but seems one day shy of being a great pro. Anyway, this team goes as Bob Sanders goes and considering Sanders has left the team to be the D-Coordinator for the Packers, the Colts could be in trouble. 10-6.
3) 3) Houston Texans – Houston is the Arizona of the AFC. For years I have been waiting for Arizona to stop being crappy and for years, they crappify, as it were. Houston finally has some legit players and made the wise decision to let Mike Sherman go back to college coaching. Their defense has improved (Ryans, Williams, the unheraled Dunta Robinson). On offense, the Texans, could be really, really good. Even though Ahman Green is there, the surprise of 2008 will be Steve Slaton (if he can stay injury-free). This guy is a winner who loves the end zone. Andre Johnson, Wisconsin's own Owen Daniels and Matt Schaub, if they all remain healthy, could also lead a high-powered passing game. This is a team that could finally pave their own way and ride momentum right into the playoffs. But it is also a team that struggles against their own short history. They may need to wait for the fall or at least fade of the Colts or the Jags before they really contend. 9-7.
4) 4) Tennessee Titans – it's hard to pick against the Titans and Jeff Fisher. They have talent, a solid defense, and a winner of a quarterback. Vince Young may not deliver great stats and some accuse him of having thin skin, but the fact is, the guy wants to win…badly. LenDale White turned out to be somewhat of a surprise to me last year – I thought he would be a relatively ineffective fat ass (sorry, preseason last year, he wasn't looking very running back-like). But he was good and remains a threat this year. And, throw in the speedy Chris Johnson and the team's running game looks poised to be solid. So, why do I put them at the bottom of the AFC South? Sometimes when someone has the combination traits of being extremely competitive and being thin-skinned, it can lead to some inner-team turmoil. I expect a couple of tough losses to derail an otherwise decent team. You'll know that things are starting to go downhill when Fisher forgets about getting a haircut and the mullet reappears. 7-9

Chocolate-y Goodness. Sort of.
The company that I chose to do the floors was a local business called Kemp's that my uncle who flips houses recommended. He's used them before and rates them highly. I went there first, but also decided to check out other places including Home Depot and Lowe's. The two big guns couldn't come close to Kemp's.
The prices included installation which was wonderful and they did such a marvelous job. They took up the old carpet in one big piece which is now being donating to the local Habitat for Humanity. That was something very important to me and I'm glad they did that.
I chose to have the hardwood go all throughout the first floor and it looks amazing. I wanted to have cohesion between all the rooms since the floorplan is so open.
As far as caring for the floors goes, the first thing I did was stick felt pads to the bottom of every piece of furniture in order to prevent scratching.
Also, Kemp's recommended using Bona hardwood floor cleaner and a microfiber cloth, which could be found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I told her that I hadn't heard of that before and that I was planning on getting something eco-friendly and she informed me that it was "green"! I did some more research and then we made the trip to BBB and found a Bona starter kit that came with a spray bottle, mop with microfiber cloth, cleaning pad and all in a reusable bag for $20. I had a gift card so I just used that for the kit.
After the flooring had been installed, there was dust EVERYWHERE so I vacuumed really well and then broke out the Bona kit to get started. The mop came together with ease and then I stuck the microfiber cloth on the bottom and went to town cleaning the floors.
It doesn't take much of the spray to get the job done so I'm glad to see that it will last a while and also, Bona has coupons on their website for when I do have to get some more cleaner. =] Yay coupons!
All in all I'm super excited about the new floors and if you're interested, here's a close-up of the floor next to the window:
I was attempting to capture the "essence" of the floors in this photo. I'm not sure that I did that, but I tried. ;-)
I'm off to bask in the chocolate-y goodness!

We moved everything to the center so we could get around the room easily.
After we finished moving all the furniture, we laid down a drop cloth and got to work. This was the first time I had painted in several years and it was fun getting back into the swing of it. I learned a lot of new lessons and I'm excited to paint more. =]
My messy, messy job of cutting in! Woohoo!
After all was said and done. I am very pleased with how it turned out!
More coming soon!

Captain's Log Stardate 40278.4
This past weekend was incredibly eventful. I painted. And painted. And painted some more. And then painted. Then slept. Then painted some more. For real.
Then after painting yesterday, we moved all of my furniture and such in preparation for the folks who came today to install the hardwood floors. They will be coming back tomorrow to finish up, but they made great progress. I'm so excited about seeing everything come together. So far it looks amazing! =] Making this house a home has been incredibly special and fun. I can't wait to do more!
In other news, I made this!
It's a makeshift version of bruschetta. I simply preheated the oven to 375 and chopped up some tomato. Then I put the diced tomato on a pan and drizzled the pieces with olive oil. Next I ground some black pepper over the top and sprinkled a little salt and basil on. While the tomatoes are roasting in the oven, I toast some bread (this was a nice little baguette from Publix) and shred some mozzarella. After the tomatoes roast for about 10 minutes, I pull them out and put them on top of the bread and of course, add the mozzarella.
I could pretty much just eat this for a meal, but don't worry, I feed my guests more than just bread. ;-)

Living Downtown
As I'm sure everyone knows, I don't live downtown. However, a couple of weekends ago I joined my family to visit my grandpa and his wife. After eating dinner, my sister (who is living with my grandpa until she finishes school at a nearby college) wanted to take us for a drive around her campus and afterward we drove around downtown where my pops lives. One of my favorite things about downtown is seeing all the gorgeous houses and yards. Take a look.
This house made me think of The Secret Garden with all the trees shrouding the house in mystery.... My sisters didn't see it though. How weird of them.
And I apologize for all the through-the-car-window shots. I have a lot to learn about taking pictures.
The prosecution would like to enter this photograph ^ as evidence.
We saw so many cute cottages. I was in love. Look at that sweet little walkway! Aw!
I will be moving into this beauty as soon as possible. I wish I could go inside!
I know, I know. Loving the stop sign in the corner aren't you? Anyway, this house was so much more beautiful than a picture could ever convey. But I still tried.
Craftsman-style houses galore! They make my heart skip a beat.
These people had so much land. I could imagine playing ultimate frisbee there every weekend. =]
Gorgeous huh? This is the SIDE of the house!!!
Ahhh, so beautiful. Let's all go hang out on that porch and have a glass of lemonade. =]
Anyone else love touring downtown for lovely homes?

Could I BE Anymore Excited Right Now?
The sofa has landed!!!!! Today after work my amazing uncle picked up this sofa in his truck and I followed him to the house staying close behind in case it fell off. It didn't. *whew!* And now I'm sitting here on the beautiful new couch typing this. AHHHH!
I love it. And I know you're thinking, "What's with the paint on the wall?" Well, I finally picked a color, but I haven't painted yet. I'm so excited to get started on that project though!
The couch is so comfortable and looks amazing in the room.
Yes, the plaid couch in the back is going to be out of here soon. I'm donating it. Although my uncle made a good point that we could seat more people if we left it. He said we'd just have to make sure all the tall people got in the back. Or we could put it up on risers, cause that would look sooo snazzy.
I also love this amazing couch because now I can do this
or this
or even this!
The possibilities are (almost) endless!
Now check it, I could have bought the PB basic at Pottery Barn (dare to dream) for $1399 on sale.
or I could have gotten the Bayside sofa from Crate and Barrel for $1699.
Or I could have ordered the Pine Point sofa for $1499 from LLBean.
But what did I do? Ordered the Linden Street sofa from JCPenney for $899.
It's not Pottery Barn, but I'm pretty pleased!

Jillette Johnson
Biography Jillette Johnson
Jillette Johnson
For Jillette Johnson the journey has been as integral to her musical experience as the destination. Jillette, who began taking music lessons and penning songs as a child, has been performing live since she was 12, captivating audiences with her sultry, thoughtful piano-driven tunes. The musician, now 24, has spent the last decade cultivating her sound and defining her unique perspective. When she moved to New York City from her small town of Pound Ridge, NY at 18, Jillette was already familiar with the city and its clubs, from Sidewalk Cafe to The Bitter End to Rockwood Music Hall.
In early 2012, Jillette inked a deal with Wind-up Records, who were drawn in by her track "Cameron," an inspirational number that explores the struggle of a transgendered person whom Jillette knows. The song appeared on the singer's five-track EP, Whiskey & Frosting, which came out in August 2012, a prelude to her June 25, 2013 Wind-up Records' debut album release, Water In A Whale. Culled from six months worth of recording sessions at Wind-up's New York studio, the album traces Jillette's experiences and ideas about living in the city and being young in today's society. She finished the album fall 2012, just before going out on tour, and as it turned out those weeks on the road shifted the musician's sensibilities.
"There's this funny thing that happens when you go on the road," Jillette says. "Because you're not around the people that you're normally around and you're in a different environment and you're constantly being creative and putting out things. Your voice starts to change, both literally and figuratively. I just started growing really rapidly and my perspective started changing a lot. I got back two weeks before Christmas and I knew that we had to have everything done by the first of the year. So I had six months to make the record and two weeks to change everything. A lot of artists don't get that opportunity, to be able to have the album that they made and come back and make tweaks. That's pretty rare and I got to do it."
The final album, which features the five tracks found on Whiskey & Frosting, centers on Jillette's soaring vocals and the sparse, haunting piano lines she wrote to accompany them. Produced by Peter Zizzo (Vanessa Carlton, Avril Lavigne) and Michael Mangini (Joss Stone, David Byrne), the album reveals Jillette's pensive reflections on the world around her, all of which lead to a deeper understanding of self-identity. The real power comes from those songs about the musician herself, however and the rest of the album follows in tone.
Water In A Whale opens with the explosive and powerful, "Torpedo," a song about resilience. "I wrote it about my relationship with my career and my unwillingness to give up on my dream," says Jillette. "I've been writing and playing music for whoever would listen since I was a little kid, and with that has come a lot of rejection and heartache. 'Torpedo' is about absorbing those blows to my ego and then bouncing right back up to fight."
The poignant "Cameron," was written both from personal experience with someone the musician knows and from the idea of what it means to grapple with who you are. The glowing number focuses on what it means to be authentic to ones' self, a universal theme. "I do have someone in my life that's transgendered and I've learned a lot from this person," Jillette says. "But I think I actually wrote 'Cameron' more about myself and about that feeling of being alien in your own skin. It's been really awesome to play that song around the country and meet people who share stories that may have to do with being transgendered or may have to do with feeling a little bit different."
"When the Ship Goes Down," a hushed ballad, plays with the idea of the immortality you feel when you're young while the sultry "Bassett Hound" offers an unbalanced account of unrequited love, based on, as Jillette says, "every time I showed too many of my cards and wanted someone too much." The ethereal "Pauvre Coeur" treads similar ground, excising the anger the singer felt about a relationship that started to "devour" her. "True North," a soaring and epic number written in that urgent two-week period last winter, touches on what it means to return home, a fulcrum for the musician's ideas about her identity. "It's about coming home and accepting the failures that you endure along the way," Jillette says. "And realizing that you're gonna have a place to come home to, and that's the home inside your own head when all the other voices go away. Because they're not you so they don't care enough to stay that long. You're still going to have your own voice and that's what coming home means to me."
Jillette brings her impassioned live aesthetic onto the album, infusing each number with a sense of intimacy and fervor. The songs shift from light-hearted buoyancy of "Bassett Hound" to the heavy urgency of "Cameron," showcasing a viable array of musical – and lyrical – inspiration. For Jillette, whose years of experience and practice have set her up for what's to come, the goal is to bring these songs to life for as many people as possible.
"The next year or two I think are wide open, in terms of what amazing things could happen," the singer says. "And I think it's just up to me to work hard every day and have a lot of luck. I hope to really build my live show. I can't get to hung up on what exactly will happen. It's really just about every day playing my heart out and connecting with fans over human experiences."

The end of the HD format wars was good for the movie industry as a whole, and ending up with one HD format was inevitable. Those who bet on HD DVD and bought the expensive equipment were much more unhappy than home theater fans in the Blu-ray camp.
An alternative Chinese HD format tried to team up with HD DVD before it went defunct to promote the similarities of HD DVD and the Chinese CH-DVD (now known as CBHD) formats. Chinese manufacturers hoped that the similarities between HD DVD and CH-DVD would bring significant manufacturing opportunities for both formats to China. Naturally, these hopes were dashed when HD DVD surrendered to Blu-ray.
The failure of HD DVD to win the format wars didn't dissuade the Chinese CBHD interest group from promoting the CBHD format. The interest group continued trying to promote the format among Hollywood movie studios on the back of copy protection improvements the format offered movie studios.
According to DigiTimes, the CBHD format has—unsurprisingly—been unable to gain support among Hollywood studios. You can hardly blame the Hollywood studios who have only this year been able to focus on one HD format for their films for the marketplace. I don't think anyone but the CBHD interest group really believed a second format was a viable option.
DigiTimes also reports that Toshiba has cooperated with the organizations that developed the CBHD format at that CBHD is using more than 90% of the technology behind Toshiba's HD DVD format. The CBHD has been unable to gain interest from Hollywood studios in the format according to DigiTimes, because of China's history of avoiding paying royalty fees and the rampant piracy of movie discs in the country.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Shares of American International Group Inc. fell Monday evening after the U.S. government said it will sell the rest of its stake in the insurer, while Texas Instruments Inc. shares seesawed after the chip maker narrowed its quarterly sales and earnings outlook.
Stock in AIG AIG, -1.14% pulled back 1.5% to $32.85 in heavy volume following the Treasury Department's announcement that it plans to sell its remaining 16% stake in AIG.
Treasury will sell the 234.1 million AIG shares in a public offering. AIG received a $182 billion U.S. government bailout at the peak of the global financial crisis.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank Securities, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Securities have been retained as joint book-runners for the AIG offering.
TI TXN, -0.96% shares recently shed 0.4% at $29.70, reversing grip of earlier gains. The shares had been up about 1.5% after the company said it now expects revenue of $2.89 billion to $3.01 billion for the fourth quarter. In October, it had expected revenue of $2.83 billion to $3.07 billion.
Dallas-based TI also foresees earnings of 5 cents a share to 9 cents a share, compared with a previous outlook of 23 cents a share to 31 cents a share. The per-share earnings estimate includes charges worth 21 cents a share related to TI's restructuring of its wireless business.
Last month, TI said it planned to cut roughly 5% of its global workforce to cut costs as it shifts away from the mobile market. Read previous story about TI's plan to lay off workers.
TI had said it planned to ease development of its widely used mobile-applications processor, known as OMAP, for the mobile sector and focus more on the embedded-chip market.
Shares of TI finished the regular session down 3 cents, leaving their year-to-date gain at 2.4%

The Original Baseball Clock, The Cooperstown Timepiece
Description: The Cooperstown Timepiece sculpture was designed to capture the elegance of our favorite sport by incorporating the central elements of the game... the bat and ball. The precision clock movement is engineered by the renowned clock manufacturer of Japan and is hand-mounted in a Rawlings official league baseball. The Seiko clock piece has a mineral glass crystal accented with a gold-plated brass bezel. The ball rests easily on the base sculpted from select hard wood and completed to a smooth finish. The beautifully grained wood base makes each Cooperstown Timepiece an unique work of art. Do you know the feeling of hitting a ball solidly on the sweet spot of a bat? The way the ball seems to explode off the bat high into the outfield. Whether it's caught or not (preferably not), fair or foul, it makes you feel good. In that spirit, we introduce to you a baseball collectible that brings back that good feeling, the Original Cooperstown Timepiece.
Price: $69.95

Office furniture: Lounge Seating
Tip #1:
Seat Depth
A good guideline is while seated to have three- or four-fingers width distance between the back of your knees and the front edge of the seat.
Seats that are too long for you could make you sit forward, straining your legs and back. Seats that are too close to your knees, on the other hand, can cause circulation problems

drjim needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 54 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
looking for a clean, relatively simple, natural, flowing design that emphasizes the power of nature. Colors should illustrate this feel/intention.
I am creating an online resource to help people be happy, healthy and wealthy. It has become clear to me that the further people move away from natural law the more pain, suffering and illness they will have in their life. Furthermore, society has been lied to and led away from this simple, yet powerful and life-changing truth.
The answer is to identify, acknowledge, understand and obey these natural laws. We do not have a choice about what they are or whether they will affect us. We just get to decide whether we will work with them and benefit or against them and pay. The answer is Innate.
the slogan I have chosen for the site is,
"Align with nature to be happy, healthy and wealthy."
I would like the first letter of each word in the name (TheAnswerIsInnate) be capitalized.
Since this is a website domain I would prefer the words run together as shown above.
Logo should be in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.
I do not want to many colors or too much detail since this will get reproduced on many different products.
The slogan does not need to be part of the logo.

Dons leave Wycombe Wander-ing
MK Dons come out on top in a stunning 4-3 derby victory over Wycombe Wanderers at Stadium MK to remain 4th in Npower League One.
The Dons went ahead through Dean Bowditch in the 14th-minute but the game came alive after the break when the visitors scored twice in a minute through Stuart Beavon and Marcello Trotta to put the Chairboys ahead.
The home side reacted well and Bowditch scored his second just three-minutes later to level the tie before two more goals from Jabo Ibehre and Mathias Doumbe made the score 4-2.
In the final minute a long-range strike from Beavon beat David Martin to put Wanderers just one goal behind but that was not enough and the three points belonged to MK.
Karl Robinson, the MK Dons manager, praised his side; "What a good win. The football we played was sensational.
"We have literally steamrollered sides in this month and it has been magnificent to watch. But we have got to cut out the silly mistakes."
Wycombe boss, Gary Waddock took positives from the defeat saying; "With three goals away from home you would more often than not like to get a point or three from the game, but it wasn't to be."
Elsewhere in League One, Notts County stretched their unbeaten home run to eight games - beating 10-man Scunthorpe 3-2 after a late goal from Julian Kelly.
Second-place Sheffield Wednesday ended Leyton Orient's nine-mach unbeaten league run with a routine 1-0 victory at Hillsborough.
Sheffield United won 1-0 away at bottom-of-the-league Chesterfield – Ched Evans scored a good individual goal with eight-minutes remaining to earn his side all three points.
Brentford scored through Sam Saunders with 12-minutes to go to beat Rochdale 2-1, leaving the Dale just one point from the relegation zone.
Exeter won comfortably against Tranmere in a 3-0 win at St James' Park with goals from Scot Bennett, Danny Coles and Richard Logan.
Struggling Yeovil won 1-0 away at Hartlepool with a 25th minute goal from Bondz N'Gala proving vital for Town, while Carlisle saw off Colchester 1-0 thanks to Paul Thirlwell's goal in the 22nd-minute at Brunton Park.
Preston's winless run was stretched to 13 after losing 1-0 away to Bury – David Amoo's first-half goal the difference between the sides, and both Stevenage v Walsall and Bournemouth v Oldham ended goalless.

Keeping up with current events in college football . . .
The University of North Carolina is placed on NCAA probation for actions that occurred under the administration of former football coach Butch Davis.
Georgia Tech University is placed on probation for actions linked to its football and basketball teams, but will not lose its eligibility to play in football bowl games.
A series of stories by the News & Observer of Raleigh reports of academic fraud involving University of North Carolina football and basketball players.
The Atlantic Coast Conference announces that Notre Dame would be joining the conference in all sports � except football, where it has a lucrative TV contract with NBC.
The News & Observer reports that the mom of former UNC All-America basketball player Tyler Hansbrough was given a job as a school fund-raiser while her son was still a student at UNC. She also took questionable trips with now-former vice chancellor Matt Kupec to see her son Ben play at Notre Dame.
University of North Carolina Chancellor Holden Thorp says he will resign at the end of the current academic year, an action related to problems with athletics.
Under investigation by the NCAA for dozens of suspected violations, the University of Miami self-imposes sanctions in hopes of escaping harsher penalties down the road.
The University of Maryland, a charter member of the ACC, which was formed in 1953, leaves abruptly for the Big Ten conference. The reason cited was access to the Big Ten�s mega-bucks TV deal.
Notre Dame ascends to No. 1 in the nation in football for the first time since 1993, this after firing three coaches, two of whom assembled winning records with high graduation rates while working within the framework of the university�s rigid rules for ensuring that football players are treated just like any other student at Notre Dame. Sports Illustrated reports that current Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was allowed to create a separate cafeteria and other facilities for football players, away from other students, which he credited with the team�s success this year.
The University of North Carolina winds up in a tie for the Coastal Division title but because of NCAA sanctions can neither play in the ACC title game nor participate in a postseason bowl.
The University of Miami, under self-imposed sanctions, is not eligible to play in the ACC title game, even though it tied for the Coastal Division championship with North Carolina and Georgia Tech.
Wake Forest finished next to last in the Atlantic Division of the ACC but for a brief time appeard to still have a chance to play in a bowl game even though it has a 5-7 record and lost its last three games by a combined 130-27. The Deacons were still apparently eligible because too many spots are available for the number of teams eligible to play due to NCAA sanctions or academic failures and because Wake Forest has a high number of actual student-athletes progressing toward graduation.
Rumors abound that the University of North Carolina is coveted by the Big Ten and may be the next ACC team to leave. The University of Virginia is also rumored to be interested in bolting the conference.
Gibsonville native Debbie Yow fires N.C. State football coach Tom O�Brien, one day after the Wolfpack completed 7-5 season with a 27-10 win over Boston College. O�Brien is given a $1.2 million buyout of his contract.
Yow says that N.C. State is looking for the coach who can recruit the kind of players found at perennial national title contender, the University of Alabama. In effect, she tells the players their new coach would never have recruited them.
The University of North Carolina and Virginia pledge to stay in the ACC.
East Carolina University agrees to join the Big East Conference for football only. ECU has no TV contract, lucrative or otherwise.
The University of Tennessee fires its football coach with a $5 million buyout and Auburn ousts its coach two years after winning a national championship and gives him a $7.5 million buyout.
The New York Times files a story with this lead paragraph: �For an especially lucrative occupation, one might consider becoming a fired college football coach.�
The same New York Times story reports of a study indicating that replacing head football coaches does not improve the records of �underperforming teams� and frequently makes the records worse.
The ACC files suit against the University of Maryland to obtain the full $50 million exit fee charged for schools leaving the conference.
The ACC invites Louisville to join the conference, replacing Maryland. Louisville becomes the seventh Big East school to leave for the ACC.
� Yes college athletics, particularly around here, have made lots of news over the past several months � and not much of it good. A year or so ago I wrote that it�s a broken system in need of repair. I�ve now come to believe that it�s deeply infected by disease, perhaps requiring major surgery. After all, football and basketball were once considered extracurricular activities.
Minor league football or basketball anyone?

Best known as the home of Brisbane's premier concert hall, entertainment centre and sporting complex, the suburb of Boondall is located approximately 20 minutes drive north-east of Brisbane's city centre.
The suburb also harbours the Boondall Wetlands Park - an extensive system of important wetlands that partly encircles the Brisbane Entertainment Centre and Sports Complex.
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre regularly hosts big name acts from overseas along with major shows and sporting events. Set beside a lake amongst the wetland paperbarks, the grounds of the Entertainment Centre are a great place for a picnic with barbecue facilities provided.
For something a little different, you can strap on a pair of skates at the Sports Complex and take to the ice!
At the Boondall Wetlands Park visitors can learn more about the area at the purpose-built Environmental Centre. At the Centre you can sign up for a range of activities including cycling adventures, guided walks, arts, crafts and indigenous cultural workshops. Winding through the wetlands are a system of boardwalks that allow visitors a closer look at this fragile and unique environment.
Black ducks and wood ducks are regularly seen in the Wetlands. From September to March, the Wetlands become the home of migratory wading birds from as far away as Alaska, China and Japan. If you are feeling adventurous, you can take the walking path up to Anne Beasley's lookout. The walk is steep but the views are sensational.
There are several hotels and motels in Boondall with a wide range of dining options in the suburbs nearby.

In the fallout from the state parks funding scandal, the California Senate on Thursday (Aug. 30) approved a two-year moratorium on park closures and allocated $30 million in surplus funds to keep facilities operating, one-third of which would match private donations targeting specific parks.
According to a Los Angeles Times report, the bill was introduced after parks officials admitted in July that some agency employees had stashed away $54 million even as the agency was cutting services and threatening to close parks.
The scandal resulted in the resignation of the department's director, the removal of other staff, and complaints from private groups that had been raising funds to keep their local parks from closing.
Assemblyman Bob Blumenfield (D-Woodland Hills) introduced the bill as "a concrete step to make things right." The bill now goes back to the Assembly for final action.
In addition to funding parks that had been threatened with closure, AB 1478 provides $500,000 for audits and investigations of park finances, and $240,000 for the parks commission to exercise closer oversight over agency operations.
"Many of us feel betrayed by the parks scandal," Blumenfield said. "For over a year, we were told that parks would close and Californians rallied to raise funds to keep them open. This accomplishment cannot be soiled by rogue bureaucrats who lied and concealed millions all along.''

- Jacob Saylor and his family, including my direct ancestor, Katherine Saylor Froman, immigrated in about 1852 from Germany. They settled in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
- John Froman arrived in the U.S. in about 1856. He made his home in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
- Henry Meinzen came to the U.S. in 1866 from Prussia (or Hannover, or Germany, depending on which census one reads). Jefferson County became his new home.
- Abel Armitage and his family, including his daughter Elizabeth Armitage who is my great-grandmother, immigrated in 1864 from England. They settled in Jefferson County, Ohio.
- Fred Gerner and his family immigrated to the U.S. from Germany in about 1855. They settled in Butler County, Pennsylvania.
- Andrew Doyle and his family, including my direct ancestor, William Doyle, immigrated to the U.S. from England in 1865. Stoneboro, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, became their home.
I is also for inventions, specifically those invented during the times of my known ancestors. I thought I'd mention just a few that may have impacted them.
- Safety razors were invented in the 1880s by the Kampfe Brothers but did not become common until disposable blades were invented. My grandfather was a barber by trade and barbered until the mid-1960s. As far as I remember, he never switched to disposable razors in his shop. It's probable that he used disposables at home as he grew older.
- Automobiles became available in the early 1900s. Imagine the transition from driving a horse at 5 miles/hour to driving a car at 10-20 miles/hour. Wouldn't people have felt like they were speeding along?! I do not know when any of my ancestors first owned automobiles but I remember that my grandmother, born in 1893, seemed uncomfortable in cars even in the 1950s and 1960s. She never obtained a driver's license but she surely could have earned a backseat driver's license. I remember her sitting beside my grandfather while he was driving saying things like, "Bob, you slow down. You're going 35 miles and hour. That's too fast!"
- Glass canning jars were invented and patented in 1858. To be able to safely and inexpensively preserve the garden's produce must have been a boon to women (and their families) of the late 1800s and after. I don't have any oral or written family history about the use of canning jars but I know that one of my maternal great-grandfathers was a gardener by profession. I have no doubt that his wife learned to can using canning jars.
- Indoor plumbing must have produced joy and amazement. To have water come into the home without having to carry it from a distance, even if the distance was only from a well between home and barn, and to not have to carry the used water back outside in buckets must have been a great work-saver to many in the family.

Started getting worried after 2 weeks, emailed and got the response that he was busy and away from home with the promise of updating me. Nothing happened. Three emails later he tells me the book is on back order but on its way, after that he went silent. At the same time I find out he is still offering the book on his website and he has been trying to sell the book on eBay for the past 4 weeks while telling me it's on back order. Don't do business with Randy Duckett or at least use a credit card for payment so you can file a chargeback. Unethical scammer.

Three persons, including the reported owner of an Asher convenience store, have been arrested in an undercover bust involving the sale of K2 or "Spice," a synthetic — and illegal — form of marijuana, the sheriff reports.
Three persons, including the reported owner of an Asher convenience store, have been arrested in an undercover bust involving the sale of K2 or "Spice," a synthetic — and illegal — form of marijuana, the sheriff reports.
Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth said a tip led deputies, along with a drug task force agent and Asher police, to the Circle B store at 815 S. Highway 177 in Asher.
"We received a tip they were selling the synthetic K2 drug out of there — it's sometimes called Spice or potpourri," the sheriff said, adding "it's very dangerous."
Three were arrested in the case; formal charges have not been filed.
Based on the tip, law enforcement officers set up an undercover buy and purchased two packages of K2 from the reported owner of the store, who Booth identified as Young Soon Kim, 58.
Once the purchase was made and authorities began to secure the store, a second person, Joon Hee Kim, 31, walked in carrying a similar bag, Booth said. Inside that bag were 35 more individual bags of synthetic marijuana, Booth said.
Both were arrested, along with a store employee, Rebecca Rock, 50, Booth said.
The sheriff said the 3-gram packages were being sold for $20 each. The store, on average, was selling six packages each day, he reported. Booth also said the investigation indicates sales had been ongoing the past six months.
After a search of the store, which also included a residence, Booth said 20 more packages of the synthetic marijuana were found.
Undersheriff Travis Palmer said K2 effects can be stronger than marijuana and it is considered an illegal Schedule I drug.
Young Kim was arrested on a complaint of distribution of CDS and possession of drug proceeds, Booth said, while Joon Kim was held on a complaint of possession of CDS with intent to distribute. Rock was held on a complaint of conspiracy to distribute CDS, Booth said. According to jail records, Rock was released from custody on a recognizance bond while Young Kim and Joon Kim each posted a $5,000 bond on Friday.
As part of the investigation, the sheriff said authorities seized about $4,800 in proceeds along with vehicles.
Because K2 is a relatively new problem in this area, deputies, and even local drug agents, haven't dealt with it all that much, Booth said. But there's been countless reports in other cities and states about the synthetic drug.
According to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, K2 is the brand name for a synthetic blend of ethno botanicals found in herbs and plants and it is usually blended into a smokeable product that looks like a cross between marijuana, oregano, and tobacco, with users reporting a euphoric experience lasting from 30 minutes to one hour.
According to reports online, K2 or Spice is sprayed with a synthetic compound similar to the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, with reports indicating the "high" can last one to eight hours. In addition to physical signs of use, users have reported other symptoms, such as paranoia, delusions, hallucinations and increased agitation.
Booth said this investigation and the subsequent arrests were all because of a tip and they rely on the public's help in these instances.
"The tip paid off," Booth said. "We depend on the eyes and ears of good citizens to make our communities safer."
Booth said K2 is dangerous, especially for youth.
"There's enough of it out there to be dangerous to kids and affect their lives, future, safety and health," Booth said.
The case will be turned over to the district attorney's office for consideration of any formal charges.
Watch for updates.
