The Chicago Cubs Have Been Terrible at Drafting
If you've paid even a modest level of attention to the MLB Draft over the past decade, that headline is not altogether shocking to you. But, for the most part, it was just a feeling and a trash can on the receiving end of your boot.
Now, thanks to a study by FanGraphs, we can put some ugly, ugly numbers on just how terrible the Cubs have been at the Draft.
Here's a chart of the accumulated WAR of homegrown players drafted in the last decade for each team (i.e., the total WAR that the draftees contributed to the team that drafted them), together with the average WAR per homegrown player (to account for outliers):
And there are the Cubs, fourth from the bottom. Worse, their accumulated WAR is just 1/3 of what the *median* team totalled. In a writeup about the Cubs' woes, FanGraphs was unsurprisingly unkind:
If the Astros have only developed one stud player since the 2002 Draft, the Chicago Cubs have developed no one significant. They have been relatively successful at drafting and developing minor role players — Tony Campana, Rich Hill, Darwin Barney, Tyler Colvin, etc — but the homegrown talent is lacking star power. The best the Cubs have done is Sean Marshall, who found success as a dominant set-up man — which, while nice, has little overall value for creating a homegrown core to build around. Perhaps the 2005 Draft personifies the Cubs' developmental success over the past decade. The 2005 Draft saw one Chicago Cub draftee make the big leagues (thus far), and that was left-handed reliever Donnie Veal, who pitched 16.1 innings for the Pirates in 2009 and compiled a 7.16 ERA.
That feels about right, and a look back the the Cubs' first rounders, for example, over the past decade (Bobby Brownlie, Ryan Harvey, Mark Pawalek, Tyler Colvin, Josh Vitters, Andrew Cashner, Brett Jackson, Hayden Simpson, Javier Baez – the range for the study missed Mark Prior by one year) makes it feel even more right.
There are at least two caveats here, and they aren't insignificant. First, this is solely about the Draft. In other words, it doesn't consider international amateur signings, which have contributed a significant amount of value to the Chicago Cubs' big league team over the past decade (and, if Starlin Castro continues to progress, that figure will explode).
A second caveat is that the list doesn't consider drafted players who didn't become "homegrown" players – i.e., players that were traded away. That's why a team like, for example, the Yankees doesn't fare terribly well – they frequently trade top Minor League talent to acquire ML-ready players.
Were you inclined, you could add a third caveat that the Cubs, during the last decade, have been relatively unwilling to spend big on the Draft (last year was a notable exception). They also lost a number of high picks after signing free agents. I say you could call that a caveat to the study – I call it yet another symptom of an organization that is terrible at the Draft.
If there's any solace to be taken from this list, it's that team up at the top, whose drafts, during the time period, were mostly run by Theo Epstein, Jed Hoyer, and Jason McLeod.

The Affinity Events division of Affinity Group Inc. (AGI) has welcomed the winter season with back-to-back successful powersports shows. The 16th Annual Big East Powersports Show, Oct. 2-4 in Syracuse, N.Y., and the 24th Annual Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Expo, Oct. 10-11 in Denver, Colo., both boasted increased attendance and strong sales.
The Big East Powersports Show, sponsored by Camping World and Snow Goer magazine, featured the latest snowmobile and ATV models from Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo and Yamaha alongside aftermarket products, open and closed trailers, clothing, accessories and resort information. The excitement surrounding the debut of the 2010 sled models along with attractive prices on gear and accessories led to a 7% increase in attendance from last year's show.
"Enthusiasm was evident and energy on the show floor was high as attendees shopped the new models and found great deals on everything they need for the coming winter season," said show manager, Laurie Hallowell. "The exhibitors were thrilled to see such large, enthusiastic crowds and all agreed that the success of the show is a positive sign of things to come in 2010."
Robin Ingles, owner of Ingles Performance of Phoenix, N.Y., agreed. The company celebrated its 14th year of participation in the show and reported strong sales and increased booth traffic this year. "The show attendees were excited to get back on their sleds," Ingles said, "and our sales were better than they've been in over two years."
The Rocky Mountain Snowmobile Expo, also sponsored by Camping World and Snow Goer magazine, took place at the Denver Merchandise Mart and saw the second best attendance in the history of the event. The chilly temps and snow showers on Saturday did not deter the crowds from visiting the Expo to see the newest 2010 snowmobile models and shop the popular Swap Meet Extravaganza. In fact, the line to participate in the Swap Meet formed three hours before the Expo opened.
"The snowfall added to the atmosphere of the show," said show manager, Dianne Seymour. "The attendees were excited at the thought of another great snowmobiling season and it showed. Our exhibitors sold more than they have in years."
Tom Gaither, senior VP of Affinity Events, pointed to the close relationship Affinity Events maintains with powersports enthusiasts as the main reason for the continued success of the shows. "Our connection to ATV and Snow Goer magazines gives us an intimate understanding of the powersports world. The enthusiasts who attend the shows are our friends. We know and love the powersports world as much as they do," he said. "That continued relationship we maintain with the show attendees, combined with the great variety of local exhibitors featuring new products and services continues to generate amazing interest from local powersports enthusiasts."

Here are a few pictures that demonstrate a possible application of what i have just said:
(Center-Justified percent in 12pt Segoe UI font)
(Center-Justified custom text also in 12pt Segoe UI font)
(Left-Justified custom text in red 10pt Segoe UI font)
Those are actual cropped screenshots from my application.
The Code
The original code I used to do this only took 2 lines of code. However, it had some bugs in it, and this is exactly what I use now:
int percent = (int)(((double)(progressBar1.Value - progressBar1.Minimum) / (double)(progressBar1.Maximum - progressBar1.Minimum)) * 100); using (Graphics gr = progressBar1.CreateGraphics()) { gr.DrawString(percent.ToString() + "%", SystemFonts.DefaultFont, Brushes.Black, new PointF(progressBar1.Width / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(percent.ToString() + "%", SystemFonts.DefaultFont).Width / 2.0F), progressBar1.Height / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(percent.ToString() + "%", SystemFonts.DefaultFont).Height / 2.0F))); }
Let's analyze that. The percent variable is the calculated percent of the progress bar's value. Now, the next line is a bit more complicated. First, it is using the DrawString() method of the System.Drawing.Graphics class to draw text in the progress bar. Let's analyze each argument:
1. percent.ToString() + "%"
That's really self-explanatory. It says what text will be displayed.
2. SystemFonts.DefaultFont
That is the font that is displayed. In my example screenshot, I used Segoe UI. However, this is probably a better choice for an application because it is getting the default system font, but you can make it whatever you want.
3. Brushes.Black
That is the color of the text which can be easily changed. It can be a SolidBrush, which is a brush of a solid color. Or, if you want to get fancy, it can be another type of brush (for example, a TextureBrush, which has a texture defined by an image to assign it).
5. (Code Below)
new PointF(progressBar1.Width / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(percent.ToString() + "%", SystemFonts.DefaultFont).Width / 2.0F), progressBar1.Height / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(percent.ToString() + "%", SystemFonts.DefaultFont).Height / 2.0F))
That is where the text will be drawn in relation to the progress bar's upper-left corner. It defines the upper-left corner of where the text will be drawn. This is the most important part and needs the most explanation. Let's take a look at how I arrived at those equations to center the text:
------X Position
progressBar1.Width / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(percent.ToString() + "%", SystemFonts.DefaultFont).Width / 2.0F)
The progressBar1.Width / 2 part will return the center point (in pixels) of the progress bar horizontally. Now, the part using the MeasureString calculates the width (in pixels) of the string to be drawn (percent.ToString() + "%"). It then halves that value and subtracts it from progressBar1.Width / 2, so that the final X position will position the text's center point exactly in the progress bar's center point.
------Y Position
progressBar1.Height / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(percent.ToString() + "%", SystemFonts.DefaultFont).Height / 2.0F)
As with the X point, progressBar1.Height / 2 calculates the center point of the progress bar vertically. Also like the X point, the MeasureString method is used to calculate the height of the text. It is then being halved, and subtracted from "progressBar1.Height / 2", to perfectly center the text vertically.
Now, to make all this easier on you, i have also created a method called SetProgressBarText that does all this automatically, which you can just copy/paste into your class if you like. With this method, i also added an option to be able to left-justify the text as well. Here it is
/// <summary> /// Adds text into a System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar /// </summary> /// <param name="Target">The target progress bar to add text into</param> /// <param name="Text">The text to add into the progress bar. /// Leave null or empty to automatically add the percent.</param> /// <param name="Location">Where the text is to be placed</param> /// <param name="TextColor">The color the text should be drawn in</param> /// <param name="TextFont">The font the text should be drawn in</param> private void SetProgressBarText ( System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar Target, //The target progress bar string Text, //The text to show in the progress bar ProgressBarTextLocation Location, //Where the text is to be placed System.Drawing.Color TextColor, //The color the text is to be drawn in System.Drawing.Font TextFont //The font we use to draw the text ) { //Make sure we didn't get a null progress bar if (Target == null) { throw new ArgumentException("Null Target"); } //Now we can get to the real code //Check to see if we are to add in the percent if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Text)) { //We are to add in the percent meaning we got a null or empty Text //We give text a string value representing the percent int percent = (int)(((double)(Target.Value - Target.Minimum) / (double)(Target.Maximum - Target.Minimum)) * 100); Text = percent.ToString() + "%"; } //Now we can add in the text //gr will be the graphics object we use to draw on Target using (Graphics gr = Target.CreateGraphics()) { gr.DrawString(Text, TextFont, //The font we will draw it it (TextFont) new SolidBrush(TextColor), //The brush we will use to draw it //Where we will draw it new PointF( // X location (Center or Left) Location == ProgressBarTextLocation.Left ? 5 : //Left side progressBar1.Width / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(Text, //Centered TextFont).Width / 2.0F), // Y Location (This is the same regardless of Location) progressBar1.Height / 2 - (gr.MeasureString(Text, TextFont).Height / 2.0F))); } } public enum ProgressBarTextLocation { Left, Centered }
To actually use that method, you must call it after you change the progress bar's value. If for some reason, the changing of the progress bar's value doesn't refresh it and clear the previously drawn text, simply call the Refresh method of the progress bar before you call this method. All it takes is a copy/paste. Enjoy!
This is the second version of this tutorial.
Ver. 1 - Demonstrated how to add the percent into the center of a progress bar without taking into account the text's width or height. There were also a few other bugs in v1's code.
Ver. 2 - Demonstrated how to add any text into a a progress bar, left or center justified. Bugs were fixed from v1's code. A method was also included that could be directly copy/pasted into any class.

Spotify has a new logo. It's been pared down, lost its cutesy aesthetic, and thanks to a little simplicity looks better overall.
The old, over-stylized branding bounced at you like a candy pop music beat. On the other hand, the new 2D look is spelled out in
Proxima Nova(Proxima Nova is the font used on the Spotify site and in marketing) custom Gotham font, and it's simple and clean. It's also worth noting that it's now Spotify® rather than Spotify™, meaning the name has been registered with the USPTO. We like the new design. What do you think?

The Rivera Sustain Shaman compression and sustain pedal will make your electric guitar sing as long as you want, with a studio-quality compressor circuit and all-analog signal path. You'll love the amazingly low noise floor, even at heavy compression levels. And thanks to the Sustain Shaman's two switchable channels, you can have settings tailored to both rhythm and lead playing ready to go. You've already got great tone from your guitar amplifier, right? So let that great tone sustain for days with the Rivera Sustain Shaman sustain pedal.
Rivera Sustain Shaman Compressor and Sustain Pedal at a Glance
- Studio-quality compression circuitry
- Switchable 2-channel operation
- Super Sustain mode for near-infinite sustain
Studio-quality compression circuitry
Paul Rivera Sr. was adamant about only using top-notch analog circuitry and components for the Sustain Shaman. You get low-noise operation with amazing headroom, meaning your tone won't be mangled as with some lesser compressor/sustainer pedals. In fact, the Sustain Shaman's Blend control lets you mix your dry, uncompressed signal with the compressed signal, allowing you to retain the dynamics of your playing while getting extra sustain - and no matter how you blend your signals, your tone will always sound as it should.
Switchable 2-channel operation
While most sustainers only give you two options, on or off, the Rivera Sustain Shaman lets you set up two separate, switchable compression settings. Set up just the right amount of subtle compression for general use, and have a long sustain at the ready for solos. You'll especially love the Sustain Shaman if you gig out live with multiple guitars - have one setting fine-tuned for your single-coil pickups and one for your humbucking pickups, and you'll be ready for anything!
Super Sustain mode for near-infinite sustain
When you want increased sustain that still tapers off in a reasonable amount of time, you'll be sticking with the standard operation of the Sustain Shaman. When you want endless sustain, just flip the Super Sustain switch. Your notes will ring out loud and clear as long as you want - you'll most likely get tired of holding the note before it ever dies out. Plug into your favorite tube amp, crank it to overdrive, and turn on the Sustain Shaman's Super Sustain mode, and you'll get all of the gloriously controllable feedback you could ever ask for.
Rivera Sustain Shaman Compressor and Sustain Pedal Features
- Add studio-quality compression or near-infinite sustain to your guitar rig
- All-analog circuits and components have high-headroom, low noise, and are sonically transparent
- Tone control gives you adds extra sound-shaping capability to your rig
- Blend control lets you mix your dry, uncompressed signal with the compressed signal - maintaining dynamics while adding sustain
- Super Sustain mode gives you near-infinite sustain without altering tone
- Dual-channel operation lets you set up 2 separate compression/sustain settings and switch between them
Your guitar will never stop singing until you want it to with the Rivera Sustain Shaman compressor and sustain pedal!

Invisible (Provisional) Cast-On
also known as Looped cast-on
More Cast-On Videos
This is a provisional cast-on: one that can be easily undone to expose live stitches, and then knit from seamlessly. Usually done with a second piece of yarn that is ultimately removed. It can also be done with the flexible cable of a cable needle, allowing the provisional stitches to be knit directly from the cable needle.
Note: When you go to knit off of this bottom edge, every other stitch (ie. on the cable needle) will be twisted. You must knit (or purl) through the back loop of the twisted stitches.

Teravainen scores 3 in 3rd as Hurricanes beat Stars 5-1
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Sebastian Aho made an early splash Monday night before fellow Finn Teuvo Teravainen stole the show.
Teravainen had a natural hat trick in the third period, his first three-goal game in the NHL, to lead the Carolina Hurricanes to a 5-1 victory over the Dallas Stars.
Aho added his first goal of the season and two assists, and Jordan Staal's career-best four assists gave him 201 with the Hurricanes. Jeff Skinner scored the other Carolina goal in the closing seconds.
Scott Darling stopped 25 shots for the victory.
"I liked the fact we scored on the power play," Carolina coach Bill Peters said. "That gave us momentum. It gave us life. It was good for (Aho) to get one. The guys were happy for him. I don't know who was happier for him, collectively the team on the bench or himself."
Alexander Radulov scored for Dallas, which won the previous meeting at home 4-3 on Oct. 20. The Stars came out on top in their previous three trips to Raleigh.
"It's disappointing," Dallas coach Ken Hitchcock said. "We had the game right there and we cracked. We were in a great position on the road, exactly where we wanted to be, and we were the ones who made the mistakes."
Aho's first goal came in his 14th game of the season, two earlier than last season when he finished with 24 goals.
Carolina took the lead on a rush at 8:07 of the first period as Aho beat Ben Bishop through the legs after Staal's pinpoint centering pass from the left wing.
Radulov tied it by working hard in the slot on a power play at 8:44 of the second.
But the Hurricanes went ahead again on a power play at 2:39 of the third, with Teravainen scoring on a rocket from the left point. Staal and Aho had assists on Carolina's first power-play goal this month.
"My goal came on a great play by Teuvo," Aho said. "Then Jordan made a great (centering) pass and I finally got my first one. That felt pretty good. Teuvo was on fire and it was fun to play with him today. Jordan was good. It was a lot of fun playing with both those guys today."
Teravainen made it 3-1 at 6:51 from the high slot, getting the puck past Bishop with Aho providing a screen.
"It's been a struggle with the power play lately and I haven't been scoring that many goals," said Teravainen, who has six on the season. "I just go out and play and try to do my thing, and sometimes the puck goes in. It was exciting when (Aho) finally scored a goal, and I felt good for him. I guess his luck is going to turn around."
Bishop finished with 23 saves.
NOTES: Dallas D Marc Methot missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury. … Carolina RW Lee Stempniak (upper body) was placed on injured reserve after getting hurt Friday during his AHL conditioning stint. … LW Phillip DiGiuseppe and D Klas Dahlbeck were healthy scratches for Carolina. … Dallas' healthy scratches were C Jason Dickinson and LW Remi Ehle.
Stars: At the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night, the second stop on a three-game road trip.
Hurricanes: Visit the New York Islanders on Thursday night.

Dir/scr: Jeremy Gardner. US. 2012. 101mins
A low-key, clever and rather charming indie tale of life after the zombie apocalypse, The Battery is one of the better additions to the ever-expanding list of walking dead movies and while it has its flesh-munching moments what sets it apart it is sense of bucolic grace and gentle moments as a rather mis-matched pair of men try to get by in a rural world ravaged by some sort of outbreak.
The performances are engaging and top notch soundtrack and cinematography help set the film apart from the plethora of other zombie movies.
The film, which played at Montreal's Fantasia festival to appreciative audiences (and has played at other genre festivals) has the smarts and the occasional gore factor to appeal to distributors and other genre festivals (imagine if Kelly Reichardt had made a zombie film and you have a sense of what it is like…a sort of an 'Old Joy vs Zombies' film), and hints of good things to come from writer/director (and star) Jeremy Gardner and his talented cinematographer Christian Stella).
Apparently the title refers to the combination of pitcher and catcher in a baseball team, with 'the battery' referring to two players who work well together. Though it could also refer to the constant search for batteries to power the music player that provides an escape from the realities of their life. Whichever, it is not the most evocative of titles.
The film dwells on mild-mannered and rather dreamy Mickey (Adam Cronheim) – the pitcher - and burly and bearded Ben, the catcher, (writer/director Jeremy Gardner) who seem to be stuck with each other rather than being best buds (though they do have history) as they wander through woods and backroads just trying to stay alive.
Mickey is the one with his headphones constantly in place who shaves, wears bright clothes and gets excited when he wins $1,000 on a scratch-card, while shaggy bearded Ben is the zombie-killer of the pair who tends to do most of the delving into darkened houses while Mickey waits outside. A delightful highpoint comes when the pair find some toothpaste and relish getting a chance to brush their teeth.
When they overhear other living people talking over walkie-talkies they realise they are not alone and Mickey especially gets obsessed with the chance of meeting other people, and is especially intrigued by Claire, a young woman he hears talking. This finally sees them heading towards darker territory…not so much from the shuffling dead, but from the dangers of the living.
A rather subdued climax may well split audiences – its low-key and static nature rather at odds with the rambling nature of the rest of the film – but there is a great deal to be got out of The Battery. The performances are engaging and top notch soundtrack and cinematography help set the film apart from the plethora of other zombie movies.

Can my spouse and I have a joint policy? Yes. A joint policy application can be made and the cover will be directly proportionate to your income splits. For example, monthly outgoings are £1,000 with the primary earner having salary of £50,000 and the secondary earner £25,000. The joint policy would be split giving the primary earner £660 of cover and the secondary earner £340.
Are there any restrictions to the number of claims I can make? There are no limits to the number of times you can claim. Each claim, however, will normally be subject to expiry of the Waiting Period and at least 6 months continuous employment.
If I have to make a claim when would I receive payments? This varies enormously from one contract to another and is often the source of much confusion. Our advice is to ensure that any policy you purchase has "back to day 1 cover". This means that you will receive your payment at the end of the month from when the loss occurs. In the case of Accident, Sickness or Loss of Employment, your first payment will therefore be made on the 31st day following the day you are first prevented from working. This is obviously the best because you would receive a payment when you would normally be receiving your salary, so you won't run into problems paying your mortgage or other expenses. Some polices give you an option called a deferment period. This means that your payments are delayed for say 30 or 60 days. If you choose one of these policies it would mean that the first payment won't arrive until 30 to 60 days after you are prevented from working, and even then you may have to wait until the end of the month. This can cause serious (although temporary) financial hardship.

Going through highs and lows in life, Chanphal Sok [1] found himself moving from place to place with his mother as a child to find enough to support themselves. Writing about his tough life in his Khmer blog between Kampong Cham province and Kratie province, Chanphal has used his blog to write mostly about literature, short stories, short novels as well as Khmer history in Khmer language. Sometimes, he uses Khmer self-effacing humor to write about his personal life. In 2009, he won the third prize of the Nou Hach Literary awards for his 10-page short story 'Kaboub Luy' or "Wallet" [2].
A graduate in English literature, although more popularly known as a song writer [3] for many of the most famous contemporary Khmer songs, the 28-year-old song writer and prolific blogger presently works [4] for Hang Meas production, one of the most popular music production companies in Cambodia."Life is a trade off. After writing my life story in this blog, I've found that I've walked so far. Life is a journey, and although it is not an eternity, it is long enough to live a proper life from now on," he said. Global Voices writer Kounila Keo [5] has the opportunity to email-interview Chanphal.
1. I think you have some connection wth Nou Hach literary award. How many other awards have you got? What do you think of the current situation of writers in Cambodia?
Writing comes natural to me. I love writing, and this talent doesn't come to me that easy, as I have to keep polishing it all the time. Since I've found that I can write, I start putting it into work. Ever since, I've got a lot of support from audiences who listen to songs I write. I had tried many times for Nou Hach Literary award, but finally I got a third place award for my short story: Wallet, in 2009, but several other awards were just certificates of excellence. I think that very few people in Cambodia are interested in writing novels but there are more journalists than novel or story writers. If you ask me to count names of Khmer novel writers, it is very hard to do so. Unfortunately, Khmer people don't read a lot; therefore, not many people are interested in writing. Compared to neighbouring countries, Cambodia doesn't produce a lot of locally-made books or movies, and even our cinemas are quite quiet.
2. I've seen that you've used Facebook and some other online platforms to publish your work? What do you think about the online world today for a professional like you?
Even though I haven't been able to earn a dime from publishing my stories on Facebook [6] or some online platforms like issuu.com [7], I am however happy when I get support from Khmer readers. This is what I write for. For my audiences. So far I've met a lot of Khmer readers online, and I am delighted to be able to share much stuff with them on the Internet.
3.What do you think of the printing cost of paper books in Cambodia? Do you think the online platform such as blog (wordpress/blogspot) and Issuu are useful for writers here?
Yes of course. From the past until now, I've published several books which don't cost a lot, but it was hard to sell them. The distribution among small book stores did not work, so those who wanted to buy them also found difficulty to do so. Eventually, I lost a lot of money in the printing. When I publish my stories on the Internet, I don't need to spend a single dollar on it, though I don't earn anything from it either.
4. Do you think the internet will soon become an important source for writers like you to publish your work?
I've always wanted to be a writer since I was little. Growing up, I just want to share my thoughts with the rest of the world, so the online platform [8] is the best choice for me to publish any story. It comes to a point where you don't need to be a professional writer to publish your stories. The Internet provides a very easy means to publish your articles, stories or novels and get a lot of following. More and more Cambodian people are becoming online, so this is a positive sign for the growth of online readership. When we didn't have the Internet in the past, we had to go and beg the printing company to publish our books, but now the Internet can replace the printing industry in some ways. Nowadays, everyone just wants to write and share. Nonetheless, I still love "paper" books, yet it is just that our country doesn't have a lot of book readers. Some people who try to publish books fail a lot, but if I have a lot of money, I will try to publish books and put them at some book stores. We need to strike a balance.
5. Would you like to recommend this to other writers?
I've used the Internet for several years now, and I don't mean to say that publishing books isn't recommended. I would like to recommend that writers now start thinking about publishing their works online if they don't have money to pay for the printing cost. When I first used WordPress, I published [9] my stories on the blog right away. With that said, I still strongly love paper books because they are like souvenirs which I can put in my book shelf, on the bed shelf. They are different from e-books which come in millions, easy to download and read – modern and tiny in size, but they don't have a sentimental value like books.

We are a team of wedding photographers looking for a new logo design. We want something classy and elegant that will also be fun and fresh.
Lee Mann Photography or LMP
http://www.leemannphotography.ca/ Our website where you can get a few ideas about who we are.
We have gone with green in the past as it stood out but dont feel that you have to stay with that if you think something else may pop.
We are considering also a logo that will still look good all white or a solid colour as not to be distracting from our photos.
We like the script but a simple logo with LMP would work as well as Lee Mann is not the only photographer and we want to emphasis the team as well.
- Item 1...Something that is classy and elegent...we mainly our wedding and commercial photographers.Here are a few sites that I like their logo style clean an crisphttp://hofferphotography.com/Old/HOFFERphotography/Welcome.htmlhttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3410/3421623273_e77cbfa6a4_o.jpg

Quarterback Cam Newton Phones Home, Goes From Passer To 'Patissier'
By Barry Janoff
November 26, 2012: Samsung has NBA star Lebron James touting its Galaxy Note II in national commercials, showing how the phone makes all aspects of his life easier.
Now, Microsoft has NFL quarterback Cam Newton not only showing how the Windows Phone 8 makes his life easier, but also helps him during a cooking challenge issued by his mom.
The second-year player for the Carolina Panthers gets to customize his "Live Tiles" screen to adapt to his lifestyle, which includes "learning to cook or building a brand," as he explains in the commercial.
The ad broke this week during sports programming, and will run tonight during ESPN's Monday Night Football when the Panthers visit the Philadelphia Eagles. It is part of a Microsoft series for the product that also has commercials starring Jessica Alba and Gwen Stefani.
"I'm trying to be the best," Newton explains in the spot. "It doesn't matter if I'm learning to cook (via the AllRecipes app on his phone) or building a brand. And don't even get me started with Xbox. I'll take on anyone, any time"
He then relates that his "motivation comes from a lot of places. But my inspiration comes from someone special."
We then see a photo of his mom on the phone, followed by a picture of a pie she has baked along with the challenge, "Beat this."
Cut to a shot of Newton wearing a patissier (pastry chef) outfit and hat, standing in a kitchen along with two friends. Newton has just baked his own dessert. "Now you know that looks good," he says as he photographs the creation with his phone and sends to his mom.
"That's me. And this is my Windows phone."
A voiceover then chimes in, "New Windows' phone. Re-invented around you." (See the full spot here.)
Newton's other marketing deals include Under Armour and EA Sports, both of which show up as apps on Newton's phone display during the commercial, as does the Cam Newton Foundation.

Hip-shaking Colombian pop star Shakira is meeting with Haitian earthquake survivors living in makeshift camps and she says she is searching for suitable land to build a school for needy children.
Arriving Sunday, the singer waved to onlookers and greeted infants living on a Haitian golf course that has turned into a sprawling makeshift camp for 50,000 quake survivors.
Her Barefoot foundation provides nutrition to more than 6,000 children in Colombia, and she is member of the ALAS foundation that advocates for children across Latin America.
Shakira was greeted by actor Sean Penn, who is providing humanitarian aid at Haitian refugee camps. The two stars spoke about challenges confronting Haiti since the Jan. 12 disaster.

I am a residential mortgage broker - we deal with over 30 different lenders - we save our clients the hassel of shopping around. Our service is free to the client as we get paid by the lenders.
I have a new logo using 99designs so as a part of that process I would now like a new design for my Business Card and Letterhead - and then also Fax Sheet, power point presentation and email signature.
With the new logo – you will find a few options the one I want you to use is the one that has the lettering LoanSmart (NOT all lowercase loansmart) – I prefer the orange based logo but happy to also consider the blue one as well. I also prefer the option with the house on the same line as the business name – but again happy if it works for your design to use the one with the house on top of the business name. - PLEASE NOTE AFTER FEEDBACK FROM FRIENDS - I HAVE DECIDED TO USE THE BLUE LOGO OPTION - SORRY FOR THE CHANGE.
Loan Smart is a small (one person – me) residential mortgage broking business.
I am located on the Sunshine Coast which is a regional location with a population of approx 280,000 and is situated in an area with great beaches and surf.

All the same information as the business card (but don't need title e.g. Director)
I will need to have my Australian Business Number included it is – ABN 23 093 454 445
In addition I would like to add the logo (approved MFAA broker) of my professional association – I have attached a number of different options that can be used for this logo.
I also like to have my name in the address section a bit like my existing letterhead.
Hope this helps.
I look forward to looking at your designs.
I will provide quick feedback to your designs and questions - please allow for the time difference as i am based in Australia.

Why is athlete lab different?
Real bikes
We use bikes. These replicate a real road bike with proper groupsets, cranks and thus replicating your correct riding position. No flywheel distorting your pedal stroke like you get on spin bikes. Our proprietary hardware was developed for Olympic Athletes and our electronics have accurate, repeatable power measurement whilst adjusting rear wheel load 100 times per second to exactly replicate rolling road feel.
Road biking experience indoors
From beginner to elite athlete, we help riders of all levels learn to utilize power based training to get quick results.
Scientific approach to training
We send you all of your ride data after every session. If you use Strava or Trainingpeaks we can automatically upload your sessions to your account. Our sessions are based on training outdoors. All our data can be compared to any real ride so you can compare wattage, cadence and time in the saddle to any of your rides outside. Our coaches can also undertake physiological testing to help you measure improvements over time using markers as used by pro athletes (calipers, lactate threshold, power profile etc…)
Expert coaching
Our cycling coaches include national level age group triathletes, regular bike racers and ex pro peloton riders. They all share a passion for helping athletes of all levels unlock their potential.
No bike needed
Our bikes are the real deal so there is never a need to lug your bike around town. Come in, jump on and off you go.
We are centrally located in the heart of the CBD at 10 Loftus Street, Sydney NSW 2000. One story of bike training just waiting for you.

ATLANTA (AP) Manny Atkins scored 21 points and Rasheed Richardson scored all 12 of his in the second half as Georgia State rallied for a 74-58 victory over William & Mary on Wednesday night in Colonial Athletic Association play.
The Panthers (7-11, 2-3), who had lost seven of their past eight games, trailed 33-25 before getting a 3-pointer from Kevin Shaw just before the halftime buzzer.
Two baskets by Atkins and a 3-pointer by Richardson lifted Georgia State into a 35-35 tie early in the second half. The Panthers took the lead for good, 48-43, with an 8-0 run that included two baskets by Richardson.
Tim Rusthoven had 20 points and 10 rebounds for the Tribe (7-9, 1-4), who have lost six straight.
Georgia State's Ron Hunter coached barefoot, the sixth straight season he's done so in a game in support of Samaritan's Feet, an organization that provides shoes for underprivileged children.

Julia Mancuso finishes 8th in Olympic downhill
KRASNAYA POYLANA, Russia (AP) — Early in her downhill run, Julia Mancuso caught a lot of air going over a jump and had to flail her arms to keep from falling.
From that point on, the American sped through the course a bit on edge and a little tentative. Not exactly the recipe for a fast race.
Mancuso wound up eighth in the women's Olympic downhill on Wednesday, finishing nearly a second behind co-winners Dominique Gisin of Switzerland and Tina Maze of Slovenia.
"I'm definitely disappointed," Mancuso said. "I feel like I had a good chance at a good race."
Especially since this hill seemed to suit her so well. Two days ago in a super-combined race, Mancuso found the perfect line and was in the lead after the downhill portion. She turned in a solid slalom performance to finish with the bronze medal.
The speed she attained in the downhill had her thinking big on Wednesday, that maybe another medal was possible. But she just couldn't find the same line and the shadows throughout the course threw her off rhythm.
"I changed my plan a little ... I cut the line off and it did not work," said the 29-year-old Mancuso, who is from Squaw Valley, Calif. "I'm a lot more of an instinct skier and I think I just thought too much today. I didn't let go and let my body kind of just do its thing.
"I definitely had moments in the middle where I felt good, but I wasn't as on it as the super-combined."
This has been a whirlwind couple of days for Mancuso since capturing her fourth medal at an Olympics, jumping from one television interview to another on Tuesday and then trying to focus on the downhill race.
Now, she's looking forward to a little rest before her next event, the super-G on Saturday.
"The super-G is a good chance to reset," she said. "Trust my instincts again."

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 60 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Puentes Global
Read about us here:
1. Puentes (which means "bridges" in Spanish) aims to help alleviate poverty by connecting poor---yet highly qualified---semiskilled laborers from the developing world (starting with Mexico) with jobs in certain developed countries---regardless of citizenship or education level---provided that there is a verifiable demand for their labor; and
2. To offer labor-intensive firms in the industrialized world (starting with Spain) a significant competitive and cost advantage by helping them hire these workers.
We will strive to become the first nonprofit international employment agency for the poor by making merit and hard work, as opposed to citizenship and origin of birth, the main prerequisites for millions of men and women to develop their professional potential to the fullest abroad, and make a better life for themselves and their families.
Our target audience is comprised of three major groups:
1. Potential Funders and Investors. These include the heads of large philanthropic organizations such as the Rockefeller and Ford Foundations and wealthy investors.
2. Clients. These include large and medium-sized corporations in Spain and the U.S.
3. Others. These include heads of large non-governmental organizations (e.g., Oxfam), intergovernmental organizations (e.g., World Bank), and government institutions (e.g., Spanish Department of Labor).
1. We want the logo to play off of the "bridge" concept since what we are essentially doing is "building bridges" to connect talented, low-income people (such as nurses, welders, and shipbuilders) from poor countries with jobs in rich countries. This doesn't mean that a bridge needs to be very obvious in the logo, but some sense of a bridge needs to be depicted.
2. The "Global" text should (most probably) be smaller than the "Puentes" text.
3. We do NOT want anything too intricate, cartoonish, or flashy. We require a simple, clear, straightforward, appealing, and professional logo.
4. We'd prefer the logo to be laid out horizontally, not vertically.
5. We like conservative colors, e.g., grey, blue, orange. Nothing florescent or too modern, please.
6. You can find the color patterns and logos we like on the following websites:
7. Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

OROVILLE >> A doctor testified Friday in the trial of an Oroville man charged for a fatal shooting at an apartment in 2011.
Medical examiner Dr. Thomas Resk said outside of court that he testified decedent John Loren Ball, then 48, died of perforating gunshot wounds to his chest and head.
Defendant Derrik Michael Blanton, 25, is charged in Butte County Superior Court with murder for Ball's death at the Oro Villa Apartments on Dec. 21, 2011. Blanton is also charged with attempted second-degree robbery and three counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
All counts are felonies.
On Tuesday, witnesses who were in the apartment at the time testified that Blanton tried to access Ball's safe, but was told to leave when he failed. Ball followed Blanton to the door when Blanton turned and allegedly fired at Ball.
Ball fell to the ground behind the apartment's front door where an Oroville police sergeant found him dead at around 8 p.m.
Blanton allegedly fled and was subsequently arrested Dec. 25, 2011, in Sacramento. There, he was subsequently convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm and having a controlled substance in jail.
Regarding how Ball died, Dr. Resk said the decedent appeared to be shot four times on the right side of his body. The rounds appeared to go through the body and exited on the left side.
The doctor also said a toxicology screening showed Ball had methamphetamine in his body.
Other witnesses Friday included an Oroville police detective and another witness present at the Mitchell Avenue apartment, according to supervising deputy district attorney Michael Sanderson.
Five witnesses from the apartment have testified. On Tuesday, two men identified Blanton as the shooter, while a third said she didn't remember Blanton being there.
In addition to Ball, another man was shot in the chest, a woman was shot in the leg and a second woman was struck by ricochet.
Friday's hearing moved quickly and jurors were excused for the day by 10 a.m.
The prosecution anticipates resting its case Tuesday. An expert from the state Department of Justice is the prosecution's final anticipated witness.
The defendant remains in custody.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. should keep troops in Afghanistan after the combat mission ends next year, but a decision on the number can wait until the Afghan army has been tested in this summer's fighting, the top U.S. commander in Kabul said Tuesday.
In his first congressional testimony since taking over in February, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the U.S. should make an assessment in November, at the customary end of the fighting season.
"My strongest military advice is not to pin down a number right now," Dunford said under questioning by a skeptical Sen. John McCain, a Republican. Before Dunford could finish his thought, McCain interjected, "Don't you understand, general, that one of the reasons why we're having so much difficulty in some areas is because the Afghans don't know what our commitment is?"
McCain said he thinks Dunford's approach is a "tragic and terrible mistake for which we may pay a very heavy price" because it leaves ordinary Afghans with too little confidence in the future.
Dunford said he agreed that Afghans worry about the future, and he argued that the most important indicator of the U.S. commitment would be the signing of a security agreement -- currently being negotiated -- that would ensure long-term U.S. support and provide a legal basis for a continued U.S. troop presence.
"There is a growing sense that December 2014 is a cliff for the Afghan people," Dunford said in his prepared opening statement to the committee. "That dynamic must be addressed with a credible, compelling narrative of U.S. commitment. Absent confidence in the hope for a brighter future, Afghan leaders, the Afghan people and regional actors will continue to hedge and plan for the worst case. The behavior associated with that mindset has the very real potential to undermine the campaign."
There are now about 63,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
In his overall assessment of the war effort, Dunford was mostly upbeat. He said the last few years of fighting had reversed the Taliban's momentum, pushed insurgents out of population centers and made them less of a threat to the Afghan government.
Dunford argued that the U.S. should remain present in Afghanistan beyond 2014 to train Afghan forces. If that does not happen, "it would be a question of time" before Afghan security would deteriorate, he said.

Believe in People / Team
Fund: Storm Ventures, Inc.
Posted by marklee on 2007-12-31
I have had solid experience working with Tae Hea Nahm, Ryan Floyd, Ben Choi, Tim Danford, and other Storm members. My last company OSA Technologies was invested by Storm in 2000 when the fund was just started. They helped guided and supported the company through the challenging period of 2000-2004, until our successful M&A exit to Avocent (NASDAQ: AVCT) for over $100M USD.
After spending 2 years at Avocent, I decided I wanted to come back to do another startup again, and launched DeviceVM in July 2006.... Storm team was first to support us and gave us a termsheet, even though our business plan was still in relatively early stage. Ryan and Ben have provided solid advice and networking help. We have just closed our series B with continuing support from the Storm team.

After reading this chapter, you should be able:
Compromise between:
Which also modify the available sequence parameters (TE) and the artifacts.
|The signal to noise ratio goes up
|With the voxel size
|Limits the spatial resolution
|When a local or surface coil is used instead of a large or body coil
|Reduced field of exploration
|With the number of averagings (square root factor)
|Longer scan time
|When the receiver bandwidth decreases (square root factor)
|Higher chemical shift artifacts
Motion is responsible for a corruption in spatial localization in the phase-encoding direction, resulting in a blur and ghost images propagated in the phase-encode direction.
|Reduce body movements (physical restraint, sedation)
|Patient's comfort
|Breath-hold sequences
|Requires apnea and fast sequences
|Gating and movement compensation
Increase the scan time, restrict the available TRs,
a blur persists with some methods
|Signal suppression of moving tissues (fat of abdominal wall...)
|Increased TR due to magnetization preparation or saturation bands
|Swapping phase-encode and frequency-encode directions
|Only shifts the artifacts, consequences on sequence parameters and other artifacts
At the interface between two tissues with different magnetic susceptibilities, there are local distortions in the magnetic field responsible for a signal loss (and sometimes an image distortion). These artifacts are much stronger in presence of metal.
|SE rather than GE sequences
|Short TE
|Restricts available contrasts
|Increased receiver bandwidth to reduce the minimal TE
|Decreased SNR
The image is reconstructed from k-space by a 2D inverse Fourier transform. As k-space data are finite and defined by the matrix size, the reconstruction of high-contrast interfaces is imperfect and causes visible artifacts. These artifacts appear as multiple parallel lines adjacent to the interface or as false widening of the edges at this interface. Truncation artifacts can occur in both the frequency and phase-encode directions.
|Incread matrix size
Increased scan time
Decreased SNR
Aliasing or wrap-around results from a spatial mismapping caused by an undersampling in the phase-encode direction. Consequently, objects outside of the FOV overlap on the opposite side of the image.
|Swapping the frequency-encode and phase-encode directions
|Increasing the FOV
|Decreased spatial resolution
|Phase oversampling
|Increased scan time
|No-phase wrap or Anti-aliasing
|Decreased SNR
The chemical environment of protons can cause a shift in their precessional frequency. The shift in resonance frequency between protons in fat and water is roughly equal to 3.5 ppm, corresponding to a difference of about 225 Hz at 1.5 T.
This frequency shift is responsible for a spatial misregistration in the frequency-encode direction, resulting in a contour artifact with dark and white bands at the interfaces between fat and tissues in the frequency-encode direction : the chemical shift artifact of the first kind.
As the resonance frequency shift causes a phase shift which is not canceled in gradient echo sequences, there is a black line at all fat/tissue borders when fat and water are out of phase (TE = 2.2 ms at 1.5 T) : the chemical shift artifact of the second kind. This artifact occurs in both the frequency-encode and phase-encode directions.
|Fat suppression
|Increased scan time
|Swapping of the frequency-encode and the phase-encode directions
|Rotates the artifact without eliminating it
|Increased receiver bandwidth
|Decreased SNR

Drawn and Fired: Recent Vessels by Robert Archambeau
Robert Archambeau has been an indisputable force in Manitoba and Canadian ceramics for well over fifty years. His functional vessels are immediately identifiable from their confident profiles, subtle wood-fired glazes, and meticulous finishes. Honoured in 2003 with the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts, Archambeau was the first Manitoba artist to be recognized with this prestigious award.
Drawn and Fired explores a different direction in Archambeau's art than previous shows—that of drawing. Always one to sketch and develop ideas on paper to investigate later in his vessels, with this body of work Archambeau explores drawing as an independent art form rather than a preparatory exercise. As with his ceramics, his approach to his drawings is considered and rigorous. He sources exquisite paper and handmade folios upon which to execute his seemingly spontaneous and gestural portraits of vessels. But as with his pots, everything is worked and reworked, investigated and mined for potential. The surfaces of his drawings are layered, his mediums varied. The textures of his ceramics emerge from the rubbed surfaces, or from the silk textiles laid and affixed to the paper. The minimalistic aesthetic of his drawings is indicative of the deceptive simplicity of his clay vessels. The earthy, robust physicality of his pots is complemented by the heady odour of ink and varnish, and the tactile nature of the woven pulp surfaces.
Complementing the intimate drawings on display will be a selection of Archambeau's recent ceramic vessels. Seen side-by-side with the works on paper, the surfaces, intimated through washes and dense inks, are realized with clay, glaze, and ash fall from the kiln. A publication with an essay by Chief Curator Helen Delacretaz and an extended foreword by Executive Director Stephen Borys will be forthcoming in spring 2013.quisite
